Chapter 166: The Evil Wind Strikes
Everyone entered the woods, Yelu Ruan pondered all the way, thinking that his brother and sister would eventually eliminate the estrangement, so he said to Tuoba Jiyu: "Brother Tuoba Brother, I haven't seen my little sister for many years, and there are some things to talk about. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Why don't you go first and wait for me at the camp in Mozhou. However, this king has something to ask for, and I hope that Brother Tuoba will see the emperor, and he must not tell us about the reunion of our brother and sister. ā
Tuoba Jiyu was a wise man, and he knew the weight of this matter, and he formed an alliance with Yelu Ruan, how could he break the agreement between the two. He immediately agreed, promising that no clues would be revealed, and then he led his men to gallop north on fast horses.
Cha Muhe and Xiao Yejin glanced at each other, guessed the concerns in Yelu Ruan's heart, and said in unison: "Lord Wang, the county lord is just angry for a while, but it won't be long before she will recognize you." ā
Yelu Ruan replied abruptly: "How can it be so easy? This king and the little sister have been separated for fifteen years, and today they met by chance, not only did they not give her love, but they wanted to harm her. If it weren't for Mu He's timely discovery and stopping, this king would have almost made a big mistake!"
Cha Muhe sighed and said: "Lord Wang, you don't have to blame yourself, it's all my fault for this matter, if you don't think that the county lord is a red face and a troubled ......" He said this, and suddenly felt that his words were reckless, and he hurriedly patted his mouth and said: "Look at my mouth, I always cause trouble, in the words of the Han people, it is the dog's mouth that can't spit out ivory." ā
After Yelu Ruan and Xiao Yejin heard this, they were amused by him.
Xiao Yejin stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and said jokingly: "Brother Cha, you are really capable, and even this sentence makes you think of it." Cha Muhe glared at him and said: "Lord Wang, the county lord is the national color and Tianxiang, and she is the first beauty in the world, but it is a pity that she has been in the Central Plains for a long time, and we Khitan men can't feast our eyes." ā
Yelu Ruan smiled after hearing this, and said with a smile: "Although the little sister is beautiful and handsome, she doesn't dare to call herself the number one beauty in the world. ā
Xiao Yejin said: "Lord Wang, you are too modest. Even if it is compared with Princess Ying, I am afraid that the county lord is even better. ā
When Yelu Ruan heard Yelu Zhongying's name, she remembered all the snubbing of her before, and felt a little guilty in her heart. Seeing Yelu Ruan bowing his head and being silent, Cha Muhe touched Xiao Yejin's arm, and said loudly: "Yejin, the county lord and the princess are the granddaughters of the same grandfather, and they are both daughters, so they can't be compared casually. ā
Xiao Yejin glanced at Cha Muhe and felt that he was reasonable, so he said, "That's it, let's go find the county lord first." ā
Yelu Ruan nodded and said, "Two brothers, this matter is quite urgent. If the little sister makes all the mistakes, I, the elder brother, will be to blame after all. ā
The three of them looked into the depths of the woods, but did not see Xiao Cuixin's figure, but found a line of shallow footprints in the woods. Jeruruan followed the footprints, and within a few miles, the footprints disappeared in front of a dense vine.
Yelu Ruan's face was full of doubts, and he looked around, not letting go of any hidden woods, and did not see anything unusual.
Cha Muhe and Xiao Yejin hurriedly pulled out their knives and cut down all the wooden vines that spread to the road. It took a lot of effort for the three of them to remove all the wooden vines that stood in front of them.
Just as the three of them were about to walk forward, they suddenly heard a strong wind blowing in the mountains and forests, and the leaves mixed with mud and sand swept towards Yelu Ruan and the others. Yelu Ruan covered her eyes with her sleeve and quickly lay down on the ground. Cha Muhe and Xiao Yejin also prostrate on the ground, burying their faces in the grass that smelled of earth.
After the strong wind blew, the branches of several large trees were already broken to the ground. Yelu Ruan looked at the mess in front of him and asked, "Yejin, do you know what happened?"
Although Xiao Yejin is the general of the Khitan military camp, he is quite interested in astronomy and geography, and usually asks the Han teacher in Shangjing to teach a lot of divination and celestial phenomena.
Xiao Yejin said: "Lord Wang, in my opinion, it was an evil wind just now. Yelu Ruan didn't know anything about this, and asked curiously, "What is the evil wind?" Xiao Yejin replied solemnly: "The so-called evil wind is the yin and soft humidity that gathers between the mountains and forests. It's the middle of winter, and the night is so cold that the moisture doesn't come out for a long time, so they look for weak spots and escape from there. ā
Yelu Ruan was confused when he heard this, and so was Chamuhe. Seeing this, Xiao Yejin said: "Lord Wang, fortunately, we dodged in time, if we are attacked by this evil wind, I am afraid that we will lose our lives." ā
Cha Muhe's eyes widened, and he said suspiciously: "Brother Xiao, is it so serious?"
Xiao Yejin nodded and said, "This evil wind only appears once around the winter solstice, and mortals avoid it. But it only comes up once a year, so we don't have to worry about it anymore. ā
Xiao Yejin was saying, and suddenly found a white figure not far away, he was taken aback, and hurriedly ran forward. Yelu Ruan found that the person seemed familiar, walked over to take a look, and found that it was the little sister Xiao Cuixin. He remembered what Xiao Yejin had said, and when he saw that she was asleep, he immediately took off a layer of clothes and gently covered her body.
Yelu Ruan motioned to Cha Muhe and Xiao Yejin not to make a sound, so he silently stood by Xiao Cuixin's voice.
It turned out that after Xiao Cuixin left Yelu Ruan and his party, she walked alone in the woods. As she walked, she recalled the scene in Luoyang when she was a child, and unconsciously walked into a small gate made of tree vines.
Xiao Cuixin walked a few steps, and suddenly heard a squeak behind him, he hurriedly glanced back behind him, and found that there were trees behind him, and there was no way back. Xiao Cuixin suddenly felt scared, and thought: "I'm really useless, I can't find Brother Le, and I can't detoxify Brother Bai, and now I'm trapped here, when can I go out." ā
When she thought of this, tears flowed out of her eyes, as if she saw the kind faces of her parents, she didn't know that this was an illusion after extreme sleepiness, and finally couldn't help the longing in her heart, and shouted: "Dad, mother!"
At this time, it was the dead of night, the moonlight in the sky was dim and gloomy, and as soon as Xiao Cuixin's words fell, a few birds resting in the trees were startled. The birds flapped their wings and flew off into the distance, like ghosts in the dark.
Xiao Cui's heart was nervous for a while, and she hurriedly took a few steps back, just touching the big tree behind her. She turned around and glanced at the tree, and thought, "If it's too late today to tell the difference between east and west, north and south, it's better to stay here until dawn, and then find a way out." ā
She sat under the tree, curled up in a ball, and slowly closed her eyes. She had walked several miles during the night, and by this time she was exhausted, but in a moment she fell asleep. (To be continued.) )
