There was already an uproar in the camp, and more people came from all around. The master saw that the situation was not good, and he retreated from the fight, and retreated to the stables. He ignited the fire and threw it away. Into the forage.
The stables in the big camp were piled up with countless hay for fodder. At this point, the fire was suddenly raging. There was an uproar in the barracks. Everyone rushed to fight the fire. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the master finally took Adu and me out. The military discipline of the Central Plains is very strict, but in a short period of time, the uproar in the camp has gradually subsided. Some people rushed to fight the fire, while others mounted horses and chased us.
While fighting and retreating like this, I retreated to the foot of Tiangen Mountain, but more and more soldiers were chasing after him. I looked at those chasing soldiers under the banner of Xinghuang. I didn’t know the Zhongyuan characters on it, so I asked the master: "These people are from Anxi Duhu Mansion?" Zhongyuan has heavy soldiers in Anxi Duhu Mansion, but I didn't expect it. They fought so hard.
The master splashed a few drops of blood on his cheek. He was so neat and tidy. He waved his hand to wipe off the blood, but he sneered: "Where are there so many Qingqi in the Anxi Protectorate... These people are Yu Linwei from the Eastern Palace. It is the so-called Habayashi Lang in the Central Plains, who are all children of aristocratic families. This time he went out to gain fame and fortune. Look at them one by one fighting for the first place, they all want to make great contributions."
I asked: "What great credit?"
The master said: "Catch you alive is a great achievement."
I never thought that I would be so important. Those Yulin army chased us and kept yelling. Some people even learned the Western Liang dialect with a weird accent, saying that we would only clip our tails and run away. If it were normal, I would have been agitated to turn around and rush into the battle, but after a series of twists and turns, I finally knew that one person in the Host is like a drop in the ocean, like a blade of grass before the hurricane, no one can resist the army. Wanma's offensive. A Weng can’t do it, he can’t be frustrated, nor can a master.
We fled into the Tiangen Mountain when it was dark, and the army was inconvenient to go up the mountain, so we stayed at the foot of the mountain. We looked down from behind the rock. There was a little bonfire at the bottom of the mountain, and a fire dragon was winding not far away, but the camp was still rushing for help. I finally asked the master: "Who is Gu Xiaowu?"
"He doesn't have the surname Gu at all." The master's tone calmed down as usual, "He is Li Chengyin, the fifth son of the Emperor of Central Plains, and the current prince of the East Palace."
I only guessed that Gu Xiaowu was not a tea vendor. After the incident, I vaguely felt that he should be a general of the Central Plains court, but he was so young. There are many famous generals in the Central Plains court, and I have never heard of a general named Gu. It turned out that he didn't have the surname Gu at all, not only did he not have the surname Gu, but his identity was so prominent.
I don’t know if I want to cry or laugh.
I think of the envoys sent by Central Plains. At that time, the envoys came to beg for the Prince of Central Plains. But how could things become like this? At that time, although I didn't have a good impression of Zhongyuan, I would not hate it like I am now.
"Why does he say his last name is Gu?"
The master hesitated for a moment. I never thought he would hesitate, but in the end he told me the truth: "Because his mother's surname is Gu."
I looked at the master. I couldn't actually see anything in the dark. His voice was low and slow: "Yes, you already knew my surname is Gu. His mother Shufei was originally my aunt. So I am actually not a good person. His Majesty ordered him to leave Sixi, but he sent me to sneak into Xiliang quietly and act for him..."
There was a mess of porridge in my mind. After thinking for a long time, I finally remembered the name of the master. I quietly called out his name: "Gu Jian!" I asked him, "So, when are you going to kill me? , Or when will you take me to go on business with His Royal Highness?"
Gu Jian didn't answer, although in the dark, I seem to be able to see the sad smile on his lips. After a long time, he said: "You know I won't."
The hatred in my heart is like a blazing flame. The flame swallows my heart. I grabbed the sharp stone in my hand, and the fine and sharp edges and corners have been deep into my palm. My voice was still bitter: "You people from the Central Plains, what else would you do? You have been lying to me like this! Gu Xiaowu lied to me, and you lied to me again and again! You know me from the beginning, just fight Have you decided on such an idea? What else do you guys wouldn't do! You lied to me time and time again, in vain to trust you like my father! For vain, I call you master......"
I don't know what I'm talking about, I cursed him endlessly, cursing that all Central Plains people are liars. In fact, I knew in my heart that I only hate Gu Xiaowu, how can he treat me like this. I have never hated it so strongly. It would be great if Gu Xiaowuyijian killed me, and if the master didn't save me, it would be fine. Maybe I would be dead already... I cursed for a long time and finally got tired. I looked at Gu Jian and sneered: "You are here to save me this time, are you trying to catch me... In the future, I will go to the emperor of the Central Plains to receive a reward?"
The master looked at me, and after a while, he said, "Xiaofeng, I really knew you because I didn’t have any intentions. I used to lie to you, but...but every time I lie to you, I always feel so sad. You are still a kid at all. No matter how I lie to you, you always believe me. The more I lie to you, the more guilt in my heart. I sent a letter to Li Chengyin Fei Ge, in fact at that time , I really hope that he will never come... You are waiting on the sand dunes, I am actually looking at you not far away, watching you waiting there, waiting, waiting, waiting for three days and three nights... The moon’s light was on your face that night, and I looked at the expression on your face, like the little fox you sang in..." His voice slowly lowered, "I know I am. Demon... You are obviously a kid... But at that time, I really hope that Li Chengyin will never show up, so I might take you away... Take you to other places, Leaving Xiliang...but then he came, everything was done according to the plan in advance, so I had to avoid you temporarily...I don't know...I was hoping in case, thinking you might not I like him...but...when Li Chengyin was going to kill the White-eyed Wolf King, I knew that there was no room for recovery. I helped him kill the evil wolf, and his leg was bitten by the wolf. I said to him: Your Highness, why is this? In fact, I despise myself even more in my heart. All this, I do... I know he killed the Wolf King just to see you again. I will help him. , Actually pushing you into his arms..."
I don't know what he is talking about, his expression is sad, and in the end he just said: "Xiao Feng, I am sorry for you."
I didn't speak, no one in this world can't stand me, only I can't stand anyone else.
I can't stand A Weng, I led the wolf into the room and made A Weng trust Gu Xiaowu. As a result, the entire Turkic army was destroyed.
I can't help but lose, if it weren't for me, he wouldn't die.
I can't stand Adu, if it weren't for me, she wouldn't be hurt.
I am sorry for all the Turks, they are my relatives, but I have caused them to kill mercilessly.
There is no one in this world who can't stand me, except Gu Xiaowu...
But it doesn’t matter, I will kill him, I will always have a chance to kill him...
I look up to the sky and look at the stars on my head, and swear in the name of the gods that I will kill him one day.
At dawn I fell asleep for a while, but the sound of the Jiegu Yamashita awakened me. I opened my eyes and saw A Du jumping up. Gu Jian's face was calm, and he said to Adu: "Take the princess away."
"I'm not going." I said stubbornly, "To die, the three of us will die together."
"I'll lead the enemy away, and A'du will take you away." Gu Jian drew out the sword, his tone was calm, "Li Chengyin has a hard temper, do you still expect him to be sincere to you? If you fall into his hands Here, it’s just another bargaining chip for him to pacify Xiliang."
Xiliang!
I almost jumped up in surprise, Gu Jian looked at me, and I gaped, "He still wants to attack Xiliang?"
Gu Jian smiled and said, "For the king, when will the world come to an end?"
I couldn't say a word, the Jiegu "Tom Tom Tom" sounded three times, and the Central Plains people underneath had already begun to charge. Gu Jian said to me: "Let's go!"
Adu pulled me. Although she was slightly injured, she was still very flexible. She pulled me over the rocks. I turned back hastily and only saw Gu Jian standing on the top of the rocks. The morning sun is shining on him. The white robe on his body was originally splattered with blood, but after a night, it has long condensed into a black and purple blood scab. He stood in the middle of the morning light, like a god, holding a long sword in his hand, and the wind blew his clothes. I remembered the words he said to me last night, like a dream. I remembered when I first met him, when he rescued a child from under the scared horse, his white robe rolled down the yellow sand, covered with dust, but at that time he was so majestic, as if he could block this All the sky and the earth are falling apart. Things at that time were like dreams. All the things that have happened in so many days are like a nightmare to me.
Adu and I were walking around the mountains, day and night. Although the people of the Central Plains searched the mountains in large numbers, we were so dexterous that they could not find us for a while. We hid in the mountains for many days, drinking snow water when we were thirsty, and digging holes for gerbils when we were hungry, where there are always grass seeds and dried fruits to satisfy our hunger. We don't know whether Gu Jian is still alive, or how many days he has been hiding in the mountains.
It’s already August, because it’s starting to snow. As if overnight, Tiangen Mountain was shrouded in snow covering the sky, the pasture was withered and frost everywhere. Once in the snow-capped mountains, they can no longer hide, and even the antelopes no longer come out for food. At night, the mountain breeze can blow people to death. The army in the Central Plains should be withdrawn before it snows, because if the army is trapped in the snow, it will be very terrifying if the food and grass are cut off, and the leading general can't help thinking. Adu and I hid on the mountain for another two days, no longer saw any traces of searching the mountain, so we decided to venture down the mountain.
We were lucky. After going down the mountain and walking south for a whole day, we met a shepherd grazing. The shepherd boiled snow water to wash our hands and face, and cooked lamb for us to eat. Both Adu and I were embarrassed like savages. We hid in the mountains for too long and we couldn't get enough to eat. The mountains after the snow were even more difficult. Drinking goat's milk in the warm tent, Adu and I both returned to the world from hell. Although this shepherd is from the Yue family, he sympathizes with what happened to the Turks. He thought we were women who had escaped from the Turks, so he treated us well. He told us that the army in the Central Plains had withdrawn south, and thousands of Turkic people also fled, and they fled further west.
I can't even think about it. The warm goat's milk melted my determination to revenge. I knew that with me and Adu, there was no way to resist those Central Plains people, let alone revenge for Aon. I decided to take Adu back to Xiliang. I miss my father, and I miss Aniang even more.
I eagerly wanted to go back to the king city, tell my father what happened to Turk, and told him to be careful of the Central Plains. Aweng is dead, Aniang must be sad, I am anxious to see her and comfort her. Although A Weng is no longer there, A Niang still has me.
Along the way, I was distraught, lest I be too late, lest Xiliang would also be captured by Li Chengyin, just like they killed the Turks. We went through hardships on the road and finally rushed to the outside of Xiliang King City.
I can't help but breathe a sigh of relief when I see the huge King City safe and sound. The city gate was still open. Winter came and the caravans were missing. The guards who guarded the city slumped in the gate hole and slumbered in sheepskin robes. Adu and I sneaked into the royal city quietly.
The familiar palace looked very solemn and solemn in the cold night of late autumn. Instead of alarming the guards guarding the palace, we entered the palace directly through a small gate. Xiliang’s palace actually had only a few thousand guards stationed there, and it was very lax. After all, Xiliang didn’t have any enemies, and they were all business travelers. Said it is a royal palace, but it is actually not as tightly guarded as the Anzai Metropolitan Government. In the past, I used to sneak out of the palace through this small door, and after going out of the city to play, I sneaked back from here, and I was never found.
The whole palace seemed to be asleep. I took Adu back to my own house. It was quiet and there was no one. The weather was so cold, A Du's face was always pale from the cold. I took a leather robe and put it on A Du. Our boots were worn out and our toes were exposed. I found two new pairs of boots and put them on again. They are warm now.
I followed the corridor to the bedroom where A-niang lived. I trot all the way, just wanting to see A-niang earlier.
There was no light in the bedroom, but there was already a fire in the palace. There were several huge braziers on the carpet. I saw Dad sitting next to the brazier, as if his head was bowed.
I yelled softly: "Daddy."
Daddy's body trembled suddenly, he slowly turned around and saw that it was me, his eyes were red: "Child, where have you been?"
I've never seen Daddy like this before, and my eye sockets can't help but feel hot. It seems that all the grievances flowed from under my eyes. I pulled A-da’s sleeve and asked him: "Where is A-niang?"
Daddy's eyes are redder, and his voice seems to be coming from his nose. He said: "Child, run away, run away quickly."
