I stared at him blankly, Adu jumped up and pulled out her knife. The surroundings suddenly brightened, and countless people came in with lanterns and torches. I knew the person who was in the lead. I knew that he was the envoy sent by the Central Plains to Xiliang to beg for marriage. Now he is alive, like a victorious rooster. , Walked in Fang step. He didn't kneel down and salute when he saw A-daddy, but arrogantly said: "King Xiliang, now that the princess has returned, the marriage contract between the two countries must be fulfilled. Now you have no excuses to excuse. ."

These people are really annoying. I pulled A-da’s sleeves and asked him persistently: "Where is A-niang?"

Daddy burst into tears. I have never seen Daddy cry. My body shook suddenly. Daddy suddenly pulled out his waist knife and pointed at the people from the Central Plains. His voice was low and dull. He said: "These people from the Central Plains, children, look at these people from the Central Plains. It is they who forced you to die. They are forcing us to Xiliang and want me to hand over your mother. Your mother is unwilling to suffer humiliation. Zhonghengdao committed suicide. They... They also broke into the palace, and they had to see your mother's body with their own eyes to reconcile... These people are murderers! They are the murderers who killed your mother..."

My father’s voice seemed to be a muttering curse, echoing in the palace "buzzing", my whole figure seemed to have received a heavy blow, and I took a step backwards. My father cut his cheek. With blood on his face, he raised his knife and rushed towards the envoy of the Central Plains. His momentum was extremely fierce, like a lion. The Central Plains people hurriedly scattered around, only to hear a muffled sound, the head of the Central Plains envoy had been cut off by his father. The father wielded a knife and panted heavily, but the surrounding soldiers from the Central Plains approached again. Someone shouted: "King Xiliang, you kill the envoy of the Central Plains, is it because you want to rebel!"

Aniang! My mother! I came back after all the hardships, but never saw my mother-in-law...

I was trembling all over, pointing at those people and screaming: "Where is Li Chengyin? Where is he? Where is he hiding?"

No one answered me. Someone from the crowd came out, looking at the costume as a general of the Central Plains. He looked at me and said: "Princess, the King of Xiliang is unconscious and killed the envoy of the Central Plains by mistake. When he meets with His Highness, the minister will clarify this matter to him. I hope that the princess will be calm and serene and not hurt the decentness of both countries."

I recognized this general, who had caught up with Adu and me on the grassland, snatched Adu's sword, and brought me to the camp of the Central Plains Army. His martial arts must be very good, and I am definitely not his opponent. Last time I could escape from the Central Plains camp because of the master, this time the master is no longer there, who else can save me?

I said: "I want to see Li Chengyin."

The general of the Central Plains said: "The King of Xiliang has agreed to marry the princess to His Royal Highness, and the two countries will be married. His Royal Highness also has sincerity and personally came to the Western Regions to marry the princess. The princess will see His Royal Highness one day, why bother In a rush again?"

I watched those people rushing up, Dad swung a knife and hacked, but was finally overpowered by them. There was such a big movement in the palace, but no guards came to take a look. Obviously, this palace was controlled by the Central Plains inside and outside. Dad was pushed to the ground by those people and cursed himself. I felt like a pot of boiling oil in my heart, all my internal organs were tormented, and I wanted to rush forward, but those people put their swords in Dad's neck. If I move rashly, maybe they will kill. These Central Plains people always say that we are barbarians, but they kill people more cruel and barbarous than us. I was in tears, and the general of the Central Plains was still saying: "Princess, persuade the king, don’t let him hurt yourself." All my voices choked in my throat. Someone was holding my arm, it was Adu. Her fingers were cool and gave me the last support. I looked at her, her dark eyes looked at me, eyes full of anxiety. I know that as long as I say a word, she will rush up to work hard for me without hesitation. But why bother? Why bother to Adu again? The Turks were dead, and Xiliang fell into the hands of the Central Plains again. I said: "You don't want to kill my dad, I just go with you."

Daddy is really dizzy. Since A-niang died, it is said that he has been like this, sober and confused for a while. When you are awake, you will kill those Central Plains people. When you are confused, it seems that nothing has happened. I would rather he be confused forever, when A-niang dies, father's heart is also dead. The brothers were all put under house arrest by the Central Plains people. The women in the palace were panicked and very scared, but I was still calm.

Without revenge, how could I easily die?

I accepted the edict from Central Plains and decided to marry Li Chengyin. The Central Plains had just put down the Turks, and they urgently needed to support new forces in the Western Regions to prevent Yueshi from becoming a big one. Although the Turks died, the various tribes of the Western Regions became even more chaotic. The emperor of the Central Plains issued an edict to confer my father king Dingxi Khan, which is an extremely noble title. For this reason, Yueshi was very unhappy. They and the Central Plains coalition forces defeated the Turks. They originally wanted to swallow a large area of ​​the Turkic territory in one fell swoop. Up.

I put on the flaming red wedding gown from the Central Plains, and under the **** of the Central Plains army, I slowly moved eastward.

When I walked all the way to the foot of Tiangen Mountain, I saw Li Chengyin. Originally, according to the rules of the Central Plains, unmarried couples were not allowed to meet before marriage, but in fact, we have known each other a long time ago, and now we are on the march, and everything is simple, so under my repeated requests, Li Chengyin finally came to me Of the camp. The servant had already been rejected, and there were only two of us in the tent.

I sat on the felt blanket and didn't speak for a long time. Until he turned and walked away, I said to him: "If you do one thing with me, I will marry you with all my heart."

He didn't turn around at all, just asked: "What's the matter?"

"I want you to catch a hundred fireflies for me."

His back stiffened, and finally turned slowly to look at me. I even smiled at him: "Gu Xiaowu, are you willing to agree?"

His eyes still looked like they were on the riverbank that night, but there was no warmth anymore. In the past, all kinds of illusions were illusory, and I knew it well. And he? If you keep doing the show like this, you will be tired.

"It's winter now, there are no fireflies." He finally said, his tone calm as if nothing had ever happened, "Central Plains is very good, there are fireflies, beautiful birds, beautiful flowers, and delicate House, you will like Central Plains."

I stared at him, but he avoided my eyes.

I asked: "Have you really liked me? Even a little bit sincere?"

He didn't speak any more, opened the curtain and walked out of the tent.

The wind outside rolled up flimsy snowflakes and kept blowing in. There was a brazier in the tent. The dim flame was blown by the snow wind, shook it, and then went out again. It's really cold, this kind of winter.

Adu and I escaped in the middle of the night. Li Chengyin personally led three thousand Qingqi to chase us. We fled into the mountains, but they kept chasing them.

At dawn, Adu and I climbed up a cliff.

When hiding in the mountains, we often meet wolves. Since the White-eyed Wolf King was shot and killed, the wolves have no owner and have fought fiercely. Every time I see a pack of wolves, they are always biting at each other and no longer provoke humans at all. I think this is how the Central Plains dealt with the Western Regions. They annihilated the Turks as if they had killed the Wolf King, and then the remaining tribes competed, killed, and civil war...No more tribes would look at the Central Plains, just like those wolves, they only cared about killing their companions and fighting for the Wolf King. Location, it won't hurt people anymore.

The wind on the cliff made my clothes hunt and hunt. I was standing on the edge of the cliff, and the frosty wind blew me almost unable to open my eyes. If you jump, all these worries will disappear.

Li Chengyin chased up and I took a step back. The general who led the Central Plains was worried that I would really jump down. I heard him say loudly: "Your Highness, let the minister go and persuade the princess."

Along the way, I have a little understanding of the Central Plains dialect, and I also know that the general surnamed Pei of the Central Plains is Li Chengyin's favorite general. But now General Pei couldn't persuade Li Chengyin. I saw Li Chengyin throw off the rein and get off his horse, climbing straight up the cliff.

I didn't stop him, and watched him climb the cliff quietly. The mountain breeze is like a swallow, and the clouds are lingering under the cliff, I don't know how deep it is. He stood on the edge of the cliff, panting slightly because he was walking too quickly. I pointed to the cliff and asked him: "Do you know what's under it?"

Perhaps the snow wind was too strong, his face looked very pale, and the strong wind rolled up the snow hail and hit it on his face, making it painful. I wiped the snow from my face with my hand. He probably didn't know what to say to me, so he just kept silent. I told him: "That is Wangchuan."

"The water of forgetting river lies in forgetting emotion... In our Western Regions there is such a legend, perhaps you have never heard of it: as long as you jump into the forget river, you will forget all the troubles in the world, reborn, and re-behave. . It’s amazing, but the gods have such power. Shenshui can make people forget the pain, and the gods can also make people forget the troubles, but no one has ever been able to live back from Wangchuan. The god’s favor, sometimes also Cruel...You threatened me with my father and brother, and I can’t help but promise to marry you.” I even smiled at him, “However, it’s up to me to decide whether to live or die.”

He stared at my face, but said: "If you dare to act rashly, I will let the whole Xiliang be buried for you."

"His Royal Highness will not." I said calmly. This is the first time I call him His Royal Highness, and perhaps the last time, "His Royal Highness has the ambition to pacify the Western Regions and rule the world. Nothing can compare to His Highness. The great cause of the Qianqiu. The Turks are just fixed, and the Yueshi is strong. His Royal Highness needs Xiliang to contain Yueshi, and Xiliang to show His Highness’s mind to the countries. His Highness put down the Turks by means of thunderbolt, and His Highness appeased Xiliang, but used It is the heart of the Bodhisattva. With the respect of the prince of the heavenly prince, but the noble prince came to marry my Xiliang barbarian woman as a concubine, all the countries of the Western Regions will be grateful for His Royal Highness." I looked at him mockingly, "If Your Highness is in Xiliang again The murder is not only a small Xiliang, but everything you have worked so hard to manage."

Li Chengyin's face changed slightly when he heard me say this, and finally couldn't help taking a step forward, but I took a step back. My heels are already suspended, and the wind under the cliff makes me almost unsteady. It sways as if I will fall at any time. The wind blows my clothes and hunts, and my sleeves are like a thin blade, constantly Slapped my arm. He didn't dare to come forward and persecute him. I said to him: "I saw you by mistake at the beginning, and now the country is ruined and my family is ruined. It is the gods who punished me to suffer this ordeal." Forget you forever!"

Li Chengyin was shocked and rushed to grab me, but he only grabbed my sleeve. I raised my left hand, and the sharp blade in my hand cut open the sleeves with a "chicking" sound. Half of my body was already volleyed. He strained extremely quickly. He pulled out his belt and whipped up like a whip, engulfing me alive, and dragging me in the air. . That belt turned out to be the one that I wore for him that day. The wedding bride’s belt was adorned with coral and jewels... I was eager to grow old together. I used to think that the earth would last forever. The person I am nostalgic for...I used to tie him personally before he left the wedding. With infinite love and admiration, I hope he will return safely and can tie his belt around my waist... At that time, we They officially became the couple approved by the gods... I waved the short knife in my hand, and cut the belt, the mountain wind was violent, and the jewels were like a rain splash... I finally saw the look on his face, it turned out to be painful Extremely...

I just leaned back slightly, and the whole person has fallen. Countless people were screaming, and General Pei of the Central Plains, his voice was even more horrified: "His Royal Highness..."

Everything on the cliff disappeared for a moment, only the clear sky...like the wind, holding the clouds, but I kept falling from those clouds. My whole body was rolling, my face turned downward, and the sky was no longer visible, and the endless wind stabbed me to open my eyes.

Adu told me that this is Wangchuan, but what would Wangchuan look like? Is it a pool of green water? It is still the abyss that can swallow people forever... Void despair surged in an instant, I thought of A-niang, and it might be really good to go to see her like this. I have lost my thoughts, only A-niang loves me the most in this world...

Someone grabbed my hand, and the whirring wind passed by the ear, and the man grabbed me, and we fell rapidly in the wind... He held me and whirled in the wind... He kept on Earth wanted to catch the rocks on the mountain wall, but we fell too fast, and the chaotic gravel fell with us, like the stars in the sky falling like raindrops...It was like being on the riverbank that night, countless Fireflies flew from between our sleeves, like a brilliant star shower, illuminating my face and his face...Only he is staring into my eyes in the world...

Only me...

I never dreamed that he would jump down and grab me. I always thought that he had never been true to me.

He said: "Xiao Feng!" The wind ran away from his lips, so thin that I could barely hear it. I think I must have heard it wrong, or all of this is an illusion. He would never jump down, because he was Li Chengyin, not my Gu Xiaowu, my Gu Xiaowu was already dead, he died on the night when the Turks fought the Central Plains.

He said a Zhongyuan dialect, but I didn't understand it.

That was the last sentence in my memory, and maybe he followed me and fell like this, just to say to me, what it is, I have no intention of knowing...I feel relieved and press it. I knew that at the last moment, I was not alone...I was slammed into the water with a heavy body, surrounded by the blue water, like countless cold knives, cutting my skin. But I gave up struggling peacefully, letting myself sink into the water, like a baby returning to its mother's body, like a flower falling into the earth, that is the most peaceful destination, I already knew it all.
