Volume 16 Chapter 6 Lovesickness Turns to Ashes (11)

After resting for the night, Qingping and Lan Jun both felt exhausted, and the next day they set off, and the group left Guyanyi, turned back to the original road, and continued north. Along the way, the scenery along the road is more and more desolate, look around, only to see the ice and snow everywhere, only on the rocky mud mound that is swept away by the wind and the snow, you can occasionally see the withered yellow grass roots, along the way, the birds and beasts are extinct, and the wind is whistling, flying sand and stones, not seeing the day, it is difficult to distinguish the path, fortunately, He Louqi and Helian are familiar with the path, if they do not lead the way, I am afraid that it is to walk for ten days and a half months, and turn around in circles on this boundless grassland. Yang Ning and Qingping detoured to Shu, all the way east to the north, and had seen a lot of desert sand, but such a desolate and lonely scenery was unheard of, unseen, but listening to Helian Xing, they were walking along the river, the surrounding area has been regarded as a land of abundant water and grass, if you accidentally deviate from the direction, dozens of miles away is the Gobi Desert, not an inch of grass grows, ravines and sand dunes, staggered vertical and horizontal, once you strayed into it, it is an old horse who knows the way, and it is inevitable to be dizzy. Helian Xing said that he had no intention, but Yang Ning and Qingping both thought that if it weren't for the fact that they saw He Louqi in Dujin Mountain, the two of them would have to go north on their own, not to mention the hardships along the way, if they accidentally lost their way, others would also pay it back, but Qingping would probably not be able to hold on, thinking of this, they couldn't help but secretly rejoice, but for He Louqi, it was a little more grateful.

The journey is very difficult, from Dujin Mountain to Da Xianbei Mountain, tossing and turning, nearly 5,000 miles away, and the ice and snow seal the road, when the birds and birds are extinct, if the brigade of people and horses go together, carry enough food and drinking water, they can stop anytime and anywhere, they have only five people in a line, and they are light and simple, at least hundreds of miles a day, in order to find a suitable camping place, although the horses are all a good horse in a thousand miles, and a few horses are transferred, its ups and downs are painful, it is very difficult to say. More than ten days later, He Louqi, Helian Xing is in good spirits, but Lan Jun has already been described as clear, and Qingping, who is the weakest in her body, is gradually becoming more visible, Yang Ning is worried, so he no longer allows Qingping to ride a horse by himself, and rides with her during the day, using internal force to protect her from the suffering of wind and frost, and can also rest on his chest from time to time, and when he camps at night, he persistently crosses the true yuan into Qingping's body, so as not to lose too much, so that the poison is poisonous, so that the results are effective, although Qingping is still tired, the poisonous injury is no sign of recovery, where Yang Ning, because the loss of the true yuan is not meditation and pranayama can be easily recovered, Yang Ning's internal strength is pure, and the eyebrows have shown a look of fatigue。

In this kind of scene, He Louqi and the three of them all saw it in their eyes, but they could neither persuade each other nor help each other, so they could only hurry up, hoping to end this journey as soon as possible and return to the Qingtian Palace. Hurried all the way, and finally on the thirteenth day, just after crossing a sand dune, Lan Jun saw a frozen lake, the tent by the lake was like a cloud, and the cattle and sheep could be vaguely seen wandering between the tents, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and turned around and shouted: " Miss Qingping, wake up, we're going home, you see, in front of us is the royal court of our Rong people, you can rest in the palace of the national teacher tonight, from the royal court to the Qingtian Palace, it is a car, three days is enough, and there are tribes of our Rong people along the way, no longer have to eat and sleep, but it is much easier to walk. ”

Qingping leaned on Yang Ninghuai, her pale and haggard face with a thick tiredness, hearing Lan Jun's shout, she barely opened her eyes, only to see a crystal in front of her, boundless, almost connected with the sky, although it was not a vast smoke, but it was like a mirror glass, and she was relaxed and happy, and sighed: "But it is a good place, I can't imagine that in the depths of the desert, there is an ocean, could it be that this is the North Sea you once said?"

Lan Jun shook his head and smiled: " This is not the North Sea, here is Kulunbo, the Beihai is in the northwest direction, nearly a thousand miles away, surrounded by mountains, the sea is sparse, the scenery is more magnificent than the Kulunbo, and the Beihai is not frozen now, Kulunbo has been frozen since November, and it will not be thawed until June next year, but although the Beihai is good, it is not unique to our Rong people, there are more Hu people, and there are many small tribes next to it, unlike here, for more than 100 years, it is the hometown of our Rong people, the water and grass are abundant, the world is unparalleled, if you don't believe it, wait until the summer to come here to play, maybe you never want to go back to the original”

Qingping frowned slightly when she heard this, only to feel that Lan Jun had a voice outside her words, but after a closer look, she saw that Lan Jun's dusty face for several days showed a radiant look, and a pair of clear blue eyes revealed endless fascination, so she knew that her words came from the bottom of her heart, so she also smiled slightly, and said: "Okay, if I am safe by then, I will come here with you to play, you must do your best as a landlord, and don't treat the guests slowly."

Lan Jun was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he remembered that Qingping's poisonous injury still needed to be treated by the National Teacher, and he didn't know if he could be cured after June. As soon as she thought of this, Lan Jun hurriedly turned her mind and didn't dare to think about it further, just because of the companionship of these days, she had already regarded Qingping as her best friend, if Qingping's poisonous injury was difficult to heal, she would also empathize, and wanted to comfort Qingping a few words, but she knew that this girl from the Han family had a temperament like fire, if she was against her will to persuade her, she was afraid that it would make her unhappy, and after thinking for a long time, she finally just said astringently:" I don't really come down the mountain very often, I only know a little about the situation here, and if I really take you out to play, I'm afraid I'll get lost."

Qingping smiled slightly, the mind of the bearded girl in front of her was more transparent than crystal, clearer than ice and snow, although she had a hearty temperament, but because of her life experience, she didn't have many friends, but she didn't expect that she was in a foreign race outside the Saiwai, she met a friend who knew so much, she didn't feel warm, and was about to say a few words to make Lan Jun feel relieved, but He Louqi said impatiently: "It's useless to talk about things in the future, okay, it looks like it's not far from the lake, in fact, there is at least an hour away, don't delay it, hurry up." "Say that the legs are clamped, and the whip is not raised, the horse will gallop down like an arrow from the string, Helian Xing gave way, Yang Ning slightly jaw, unceremoniously rode the horse to follow, Helian Xing gestured to Lan Jun, Lan Jun stuck out his tongue, very grateful to the national teacher for his own relief, whipped and chased up, although she is a woman, the riding skills are excellent, Yang Ning and Qingping are riding together, but a moment, has caught up with Yang Ning, but slightly slowed down the horse, and Yang Ning rode side by side, from time to time with a horse whip to point to the surrounding scenery, under the dunes, with the wind from time to time there is a silver bell-like laughter, obviously Qingping is also very happy。 Seeing this, Helian Xing smiled slightly, the future was not far away, and he was not in a hurry to hurry, so he urged his mount and led a few other empty horses to slowly chase after him.

Although there are not many of them in this group, they are with more than a dozen horses, so shouting and galloping, has already attracted the attention of the herdsmen who are cruising around, and soon a team of ten people who are responsible for patrolling is coming, for the strong man has very strong eyesight, seeing He Louqi's face from afar, he still can't believe it, he added a whip fiercely, led the crowd to approach, and after confirming that it was correct, he dismounted and bowed. He Louqi's expression was faint, just stretched out his hand to help, and did not say much, but Helian Xing stepped forward and asked for information, the man did not hesitate, and said a long paragraph in a sonorous voice, his body was strong, and there was a blood-red scar on his left cheek that reached the corner of his eye, and his appearance was hideous and ugly, but when he answered, his expression was obedient and obedient, and he was as tame as a sheep, and his description was not commensurate with his expression, which made people feel a strong sense of conflict in his heart.

Helian Xing and the warrior said Rong language, Yang Ning naturally didn't understand a word, he was simple-minded, and he didn't bother to pay attention to things outside his body, Qingping was meticulous, and refused to let go of some clues, she knew that she was deep into Rongdi, if she couldn't understand the words, she would inevitably become blind and dumb, so she asked Lan Jun for advice on Rong language early, Lan Jun was simple-minded, and he didn't feel that there was any obstacle, he taught with all his heart, Qingping was smart and clever, and he didn't know anything before and after only ten days of hard work, and he already knew it roughly, although Helian Xing and the warrior had a conversation like a cannon, and he was quite at a loss about the characters and places involved in the conversation, and the words were mixed with many unfamiliar syllables, which must not be commonly used words, Lan Jun didn't teach, but Qingping even guessed according to the semantics before and after, but she also understood three or four percent,

As soon as Helian Xing opened his mouth, he asked the warrior about King Rong's behavior, which is not surprising, He Lou returned from afar, and should have met King Rong, and by the way, he reported the marriage and asked where King Rong was, most of them were going to meet, to Qingping's deep surprise, the warrior knew everything about Helian Xing's questioning, and said everything, not only told King Rong about taking the warrior to the mountains to hunt bears, but also said the private affairs of King Rong who recently accepted a new concubine, and the trivial matter of whipping a few slaves to death. Although she wandered the rivers and lakes, after all, she was from an extraordinary background, familiar with the scriptures and history, and the emperor of the Han people valued privacy the most, although the courtiers colluded with the inner servants to speculate about the sacred heart, but the punishment of the subordinates with the banning and the banning language is endless. This samurai is unscrupulous, as if he only has a national teacher in his eyes, and there is no king, which is really incredible.

Thinking of this, Qingping's heart moved, and she looked at the warrior carefully, although she was not the top of her martial arts, she could barely be regarded as a first-class skill, if she did not hesitate to protect herself, she could even fight with masters such as Yan Zishuang and Olgrad, and her eyesight was extraordinary. At a glance, I felt that although this warrior had a calm bearing and a solid foundation, he practiced foreign kung fu, and it was by no means the same as the Qingtian Palace, just an ordinary Rong warrior, listening to his self-proclaimed when he bowed down, as if he was just a ten-captain, such a low-level warrior, although his status was humble, but it was the fundamental strength of the Rong people's soldiers and horses, and he saw that the small team of Rong warriors he led were respectful, without any surprise, obviously regarded this move as usual, if it was the lowest level of the Rong people's generals, they would all regard He Lou Qi as a god, placed above the Rong Wang Gui chieftain, this is no longer something that can be described by the master of high merit.

Understand this, Qingping's heart turned a thousand times, thoughts like a tide, suddenly felt that He Louqi did this, it was the end of the disaster, even if the martial arts are peerless, the first in the world, it is inevitable that he will suffer in the future, this time he came to seek medical treatment, He Louqi is not embarrassed, whether to point out its benefits, but also a little to repay the kindness, suddenly feel that He Louqi is what kind of person, you are the grandmaster, how can you not even understand such a truth, most of the reason is because of the body poison, no time to take care of these side matters, he is kind to persuade each other, but it is just in vain, and suddenly I thought that if it were not for the Han princess Liao Shuiqing to contain He Louqi with poison, such a majestic and heroic figure, I'm afraid that I would have already unified the Hu Rong and the two clans, waving troops to the south, even if I have an indissoluble enmity with Li Huanyu, even for the sake of Liao Shuiqing's face, I should also be a little tolerant, but in a flash, I thought of Li Huanyu's hideous face that poisoned him in the past, and I only felt happy and enmity, how could I tolerate the adulterer, the more I thought about it, the more I felt upset, and suddenly I only felt dizzy, the characters in front of me seemed to blend into layers of light and shadow, and I couldn't see it clearly, Qingping's heart was cold, knowing that I was not suitable for disturbing my mind when I was tired for a long time, and the lovesickness was absolutely poisonous at this time, this work was even more different from the past, as if the tide was bursting, out of control, she wanted to call out, but her tongue was numb, and she couldn't make a sound, and in an instant he lost consciousness.

Fortunately, Yang Ning had been paying attention to Qingping's situation from beginning to end, and suddenly felt that his lover's body was hot and cold, and trembling from time to time, and hurriedly looked down, only to see Qingping's teeth clenched, her cheeks were red like grenades, and she was shocked, and she didn't care that Helian Xingzheng was talking to the Narong warrior, so he stepped forward and said hurriedly: "Senior, Qingping's poison, what can I do?"

He Louqi was originally listening to the warrior's report, when he heard the words, he turned his head to look, his eyes swept over Qingping's face, and a little worry flashed in his heart, it seems that this little girl's poisonous wounds are much heavier than his own, he has always made a quick decision, and said without hesitation at the moment: " Can't delay any longer, you will give the rest of the Sauvignon Blanc to this girl, and then go back to the palace with me, as long as you get to the palace, as long as this girl still has a breath, I will keep her safe, Helian, you stay in the royal court, first give the marriage to the king, and then take Lan Jun back to the palace, we will go first. ”

When He Louqi instructed He Lianxing, Yang Ning had already trembled and took out the crystal clear gourd medicine bottle from his arms, that day in the Dishen Mountain, although he did not dare to blame after learning that Qingping had hidden the medicine, he forcibly snatched the medicine bottle, for fear that Qingping would do something to quench his thirst with a donkey, and he didn't expect that today he would have to feed the medicine himself, although he didn't know much about medical science, but he also understood that this move could be described as a death and a life. Poured out the three pills and put them on Qingping's lips, but Qingping was already unconscious, and her teeth were clenched, and she couldn't swallow at all, Yang Ning was heartbroken, but she had to pinch Qingping's cheek points on both sides, and slowly exert her strength, and finally let Qingping open her mouth and swallow the medicine, fortunately, the pill melted in her mouth, otherwise Qingping's throat was stiff, and she was afraid that the pill would not be able to swallow at all, even so, Yang Ning still gently helped Qingping massage her throat muscles, until she was sure that the medicine had been taken, and then she was slightly relieved.

At this time, He Lou Qiye had finished his explanation, floated off the horse, and said awe-inspiringly: "I'm afraid it's too late to ride a horse, we can only walk, you have lost too much in the past few days, can you still hold on?"

Yang Ning had already thought of this, jumped off the horse with Qingping in his arms, and said resolutely: "Senior, rest assured, although the disciple's skills are shallow, it is still okay to run for a few days and nights." ”

He Louqi nodded slightly, and did not speak, his figure flashed, and it had turned into a faint light smoke, and in an instant, it was already a hundred zhang away, Yang Ning followed closely without hesitation, they were already out of the same school, and they performed the same kind of light skill "A Thousand Miles of Lines" , Everyone only felt that the three of them had disappeared from the field of vision, and the others were also just amazed, but Helian Xing was pupils shrunk, for so many years, he had been serving in front of the master's seat, but he had never seen the master perform such a wonderful light skill, and it was similar to the original boy, his heart turned back and forth, and he only felt that many doubts suddenly had answers, looking at the direction of the Heavenly Palace, Helian Xing was silent.
