But seeing the cavalry rushing closer and closer, they came violently, as if they hadn't seen the flag at all. The golden light of the setting sun shone on their iron armor, reflecting a clear iron color, and I suddenly took a breath.

This is Yueshi’s cavalry, light armor, saddles, helmets... Although there is no flag, I can still tell that this is Yueshi’s cavalry. Although I have not been to the Yueshi, I have been to Anxi Duhufu, where I have seen Yueshi drills. Their horses are all good horses, with clear armor, quick bows and arrows, and the knights are brave and good at fighting. Hefei recognized it. He looked back at me and said to me: "Princess, you go east first, bypass the Binli River, and the king of Da Shanyu is in Hedong."

I said loudly: "If you want to fight, you will fight. I don't want to run away alone."

Nodded in admiration, and handed me his own saber. I took the machete, but a layer of sweat formed in my palm. I know how powerful the Yue cavalry is. What's more, there are so many people on the other side, and they are pressing down like a black and rocky mountain. Although we are a master archer, there are only a few dozen people in our side. Can't hold each other.

Seeing the cavalry getting closer and closer, I can't even hold the knife. Although I felt that I would never lose to my brothers since I was young, to be honest, it was the first time I went to battle to kill an enemy.

The white banner is right behind us, "hulala", at the end of the grassland, the sun sets down one by one, and countless grass awns are blown up and down by the wind, like sand dunes in the desert. It was tumbling. The world suddenly became cold, and I blinked my eyes, because a sweat just dripped into the corner of my eye, and the spicy sting made me feel sad.

The cavalry saw the white banner, and the momentum finally slowed down. They opened their positions and gradually approached. He said loudly: "The Turk’s lost here, your horse has set foot on the Turkic grassland, do you want to fight without declaration?"

Heshi is a legendary archer who has moved thousands of miles away. He lost in Turkic language, which means arrow originally. Legend has it that if he wanted to shoot the left eyeball of the wild goose in the sky, he would never shoot the right eyeball of the wild goose, so Da Shanyu was very fond of him. Sure enough, those people couldn't help shaking when they heard the terrible name, and one of them came out and said a lot of things. I don’t understand the words of Yueshi at all, and they just translated it to me fascinatingly. It turned out that these people said that they had lost a slave, so they came after them. As for whether this place is in the Turkic boundary, because it happened to be in the sky. The foot of Genshan Mountain is actually the border between Yueshi, Turks and Xiliang. It has always been a place that doesn't care about anything. If you insist on saying that it is Turkic territory, it is a bit reluctant.

"Lost slave?" I couldn't help but repeat it somehow. The general Yueshi who led the soldiers raised his whip and pointed at me, and said something gesticulating. He lost seemed very angry, and said loudly: "Princess, he actually said that you are their lost slave."

I couldn't help being angry, and pulled out the knife and said: "Nonsense!"

He lost his head and nodded: "This is just their excuse."

The general Yueshi began to whisper again, and I asked He lost: "What did he say?"

"He said that if we don't hand you over, he will lead the troops to kill them. The Turks hid the slaves of the Yue people. If the two countries are at war because of this, it is also unreasonable for the Turks."

I was very angry, but laughed: "He is so unreasonable now, so he dare to say that we have no reason."

He said in a deep voice: "The little princess said that, but the other party is crowded, and it is for the little princess..." He said to me: "Little princess, go east to find the king's account Bring reinforcements here. Yue is arrogant and rude. If we can’t stop them, we must report to Da Shan Yu to know, and don’t let them do it."

Speaking of which, He lost still wanted to tell me to retreat. Although I was afraid in my heart, I still stood out and said loudly: "You send someone to report the letter, I will not leave!"

He lost quietly and said: "The little princess is here, He lost no one to protect her."

I thought about it, what he said is very clear, if I am here, I am afraid it will really drag them down. Although I am good at shooting arrows, I have never fought, and the others here are all Turkic warriors who have experienced many battles.

"Okay." I gripped the handle of the knife and said, "I'll report it!"

He lost his head nodded, untied the water sac beside his saddle, and said to me, "Go straight east for three hundred miles. If you can't find the king's account of Dadanyu, you can turn to the north, Zuo Guli The king’s men should not be far away, but a hundred miles away."

"I care about it."

Hefu hit my horse hard with the back of the knife and shouted: "Duh!"

The little red horse jumped out, and Yueshi's cavalry became noisy. However, the little red horse went away very quickly, like a flash of lightning, and rushed out of Richu in an instant. I kept looking back and saw that the Yue cavalry came up on the ground, like ants moving before it rained, and dozens of Turkic cavalry were surrounded by them, like being surrounded by black ants. Millet grains. In addition, the Yue cavalry tried to chase me, but they could not chase ten horses, and they were shot one after another. Although He lost was surrounded, every arrow would be hit. No one of the Yue cavalry could escape him. Arrow, the men and horses kept falling and rolling to the ground, and no one could catch up in a hurry. The little red horse ran faster and faster, except for the white banner, everything else gradually faded in the last ray of twilight, the sky was gloomy, and the night enveloped everything.

I rode a horse on the prairie, starless and moonless, so bored as to drip water. I have never seen this kind of weather, I'm afraid it will rain heavily. It was a terrible thing to meet heavy rain on the grassland. I looked up at the sky. The sky was dark, like an upside-down iron pot. Without stars and moons, the direction was difficult to recognize. I was really worried that I was taking the wrong path.

There is actually no road on the prairie, just rushing around. I rode a horse in the dark for half a night, but fortunately those Yueshi did not catch up. But they did not break through. I was worried about the safety of the loss and worried that I was running in the wrong direction. I was anxious and angry, but I didn't cry. At this moment, only a "click" was heard, and a long purple electric light pierced the dark night, illuminating the eyes instantaneously, and then the thunder rang out.

It is really going to rain, so I have to find a way to avoid it. Lightning bolts were like stiff snakes, running around on the dark cloud and low-hanging sky. I saw the chaotic rocks in the distance through the flashes of lightning. It turned out that I had been running along Tiangen Mountain. I ran at the foot of Tiangen Mountain most of the night.

Find a boulder and avoid it, it's better than being caught in the rain. I urged the horse to move forward, and the little red horse dexterously stepped over the rocks. I was afraid that the rubble would hurt the horse's hoof, so I turned over and got off the horse, leading the horse to the mountains to search. The heavy rain had already "rushed" underground, and the thick white tendon rain pumped on people, causing pain and pain. The rain poured through my clothes and flowed down my forehead into my eyes. I could hardly even open my eyes. I wiped the water off my face, and finally saw a big rock hanging out abruptly under the big rock. It's a good place to shelter from the rain.

I took the little red horse and climbed under the boulder. There was one person, one horse and one horse. The rain was rumbling outside. The rain was violent and violent. I thought of the loss, and I couldn't express the worry in my heart. The little red horse half-kneeled under the stone, seeming to understand that I was anxious, sticking out his tongue from time to time, licking the palm of my hand. I hugged the little red horse by the neck and murmured: "I don't know what happened to them..." The rain outside was very fast, and the water flowing from the mountain rushed into a white curtain of water in front of the stone, misty The mist splashed into the rock, and it rose like a light rain.

I don't know how long the rain lasted until it finally stopped. There was still water dripping outside the rocks, like a small stream, "crushing". But when the wind blew, the dark clouds in the sky moved away, revealing a bright moon.

I couldn't help but sneezed, my clothes soaked and stuck to my body, and then let the wind blow, it was really cold. But the tinder I was carrying had been soaked by the rain, there was no dry wood, and there was no way to start a fire.

The sound of the water outside gradually lowered, and the little red horse approached affectionately, with a warm tongue licking my face. I thought that since the rain stopped, I should hurry down and continue to find my way.

When I reached the bottom of the mountain, the moon was about to set, just in time for me to figure out the direction. The little red horse was suffocated under the rocks for half a night, and then ran vigorously towards the east with white light. The sun will soon rise, otherwise why is my body so hot?

I thought in a daze, the horse rein in my hand was gradually loosening, the horse buckled and buckled like a cradle, and it rocked comfortably. I couldn’t sleep all night, and now I’m almost falling asleep. Up.

I don't know how long I was confused, maybe it was a short time, maybe a long time, and finally the horse wandered into a river, and I was poured on the body by the ice-cold water splashed by the horse's hoof, and suddenly I woke up. There is no one in the wilderness, Tiangen Mountain has long been left behind, and the huge mountain range behind it looks like a giant standing on top of the earth. The top of the giant's head is a white snow cap, which is covered with ice and snow that will not melt all the year round. This river is also formed by the collection of snow water on Tiangen Mountain, so the river is bitingly cold.

I feel soft all over, remembering that I have not eaten, no wonder I have no strength at all. But the dry food is tied behind the saddle, my mouth is thirsty and tasteless, and I have no appetite at all. I was thinking about whether to get off the horse to drink, and suddenly I saw the dark shadow shaking not far away, as if there was a horse running straight. I was afraid that it was the Cavalry of the Yue family again, but I could only see the vague shadow, coming. It was extremely fast, but fortunately there was only one rider.

It would be great if it were King Zuo Guli's sentry...I tried my best to pull out the scimitar behind me. If I encounter an enemy, I will fight to the end.

This was my last thought, and then my eyes went dark and I planted my horse.

The people of Xiliang have learned to ride and shoot since they were young. Both men and women can walk and ride horses. I grew up on horseback. The nine princesses of Xiliang were planted from horseback. If it were to be passed to the Xiliang King City, I was afraid to laugh at everyone's big teeth.

When I woke up, I was still holding the scimitar tightly in my hand, and I blinked my eyes. The sky was bright blue, and the white clouds were so low as to be within reach. It turned out that I was lying on a gentle slope. The grassy slopes covered most of the hot sunlight. The refreshing wind in the autumn was blowing over. Not far away came the familiar neigh of the little red horse, which made me feel relieved.

"Wake up?"

The voice is also very familiar. I got up dizzy and blinked, still feeling unbelievable.

It turned out to be Gu Xiaowu, the Zhongyuan tea vendor. He sat lazily on the grass slope, gnawing on a piece of dried beef.

I was shocked: "Why are you here?"

He said: "I pass by occasionally."

I don't believe it!

My stomach was gurgling with hunger, and when I remembered that the little red horse was still carrying dry food, I whistled. The little red horse trot all the way, and I looked intently, and the horse was bare on the back, and even the saddle was gone. I took a closer look, that Gu Xiaowu was sitting on my saddle, and the beef he was eating was not the dry food I brought?

"Hello!" I was very angry and asked loudly, "Where is my dry food?"

His mouth is full of meat, and he vaguely raised the half-pulled beef in his hand to me: "There is one last piece..."

The last piece is obviously the last bite.

I watched him put the last bit of dried beef into his mouth and yelled, "You have eaten it all? What am I eating?"

"Hungry." He took a sip of water and said lightly, "You just got a fever, you can't eat this kind of food at this time."

What fever, I jumped up: "Why did you come here? Also, you have finished my dry food! Give it to me! Give it to me!"

He smiled: "I have eaten everything, but I have to pay."

I was furious and frustrated, looking everywhere for the saber that He lost to me.

He saw me turning around like ants on a hot pot, and finally said slowly: "If you follow me back to the city, I will pay you a cow."

I rolled my eyes at him: "Why should I go back to the city with you?"

"Your father posted a reward notice, saying that anyone who can find you and bring you back to the city will reward you with a hundred ingots of gold." He looked at me very seriously, "A hundred ingots of gold! How many cows do you have to buy!"

I'm really angry. It's not that I'm angry about anything else, but I'm angry about the one hundred ingots of gold: "Father did you really post such a notice?"

"Is there a fake?" he said, "It is true!"

"Am I worth a hundred ingots of gold?" I was so disappointed, "I thought it was worth at least a ten thousand gold ring! In addition, I should give it to the prince, and also, I should give countless cattle and sheep slaves..."

My father also said that I was his most beloved little princess, and he only offered a reward of 100 gold ingots. stingy! How stingy!

Gu Xiaowu laughed "poof" and didn't know what he was laughing at. I hate his smile, especially when he looks at me with a smile, as if looking at a hundred ingots of gold.

I said loudly: "Don't dream, I won't go back with you!"

Gu Xiaowu said: "Then where do you want to go? Since you left, the emissary of King Yueshi was angry, saying that your father had deliberately let you go, and Yueshi sent out the brigade. I'm looking for you. If you walk around on the grassland and meet the people of the Yue family, that would be a mess."

I also think it's bad, because I've already met the Yueshi people. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but let out a "Oh!" I almost forgot about it. I had to go to Aweng to report the letter!

Gu Xiaowu probably saw my face changed, so he asked me: "What's wrong?"

I didn't want to tell him, but in the vast grassland, he is the only one by my side now, and the master's swordsmanship is so brilliant and capable, maybe this Gu Xiaowu swordsmanship is also good.

Sure enough, after Gu Xiaowu heard that I had told him about the Yueshi chasing soldiers, he said: "According to you, the Turkic is in the king's account. There are at least three hundred miles away?"

I nodded.

"The King Zuo Guli is also a hundred miles away?"

I nodded again.

"But the Turks are nomadic, how can you find it?"

"No need to think about it, anyway, I want to save the lost."

Gu Xiaowu frowned slightly and said: "The distant water can't save the nearby fire. The Anxi Protectorate is close at hand. Why don't you borrow troops from them to fight back Yueshi?"

I was stunned. To be honest, although the Central Plains has a mighty military force, the Anxi Duhu Mansion guards the Western Regions and is respected by all countries, but even if there are constant wars among countries, no one has ever used the Central Plains' military strength. Because in the eyes of us in the Western Regions, fighting is our own business in the Western Regions. Although the Central Plains is a heavenly kingdom and has troops stationed here, the disputes between the Western Regions will not involve them. It's like fighting with one's own brothers, in any case, will not go to outsiders to help.

I said: "Although Anzai Metropolitan Government is near, you can't tell them about this kind of thing."

Gu Xiaowu raised his eyebrows: "Why?"

I can’t tell the truth. Anyway, all countries are observing such taboos. I said: "Anyway, we fight, it’s not about the emperor of the Central Plains."

"Under the whole world, could it be the king's earth. The shore of the earth, could it be the king's minister." Gu Xiaowu said, "As long as it is a matter of the world, it has something to do with the emperor of the Central Plains, not to mention the establishment of the Anxi Protectorate in Central Plains. In order to maintain the stability of the Western Regions, Yue's rudeness, just to teach them a lesson."

He speaks very literally, and I don't understand it either. He brought both horses over and said: "From here to the south, it takes only half a day to the Anxi Duhu Mansion. I will accompany you to borrow troops."

I hesitate: "This...isn't it good?"

"You don't want to save the lost?"

"Of course I do!"

He helped me get on the horse, and said, "So what are you still dangling!"

I have been riding my horse for a long distance, and I remembered one thing: "How did you find me?"

The sun was blazing at noon, and his face was illuminated by the sun, making it more white as a beautiful jade from Khotan. He grinned, showing a mouthful of white teeth: "Try your luck!"
