I felt like I had been caught in an evil spirit, and even my face started to get hot. Although I am young, I also know that his words contain a bit of frivolity. I regretted that a person slipped out of the city alone. There is no one here. If I do, I may not be able to beat him.

I said loudly: "Do you know who I am? I am the nine princesses of Xiliang, and my father is the lord of Xiliang, my mother Dana is a Turkic prince and daughter, my grandfather It is the most powerful Tierghada in the Western Regions. The vultures in the desert dare not fall down when they hear his name. If you dare to be rude to me, my father will tie you to a horse and drag you to death. "

He smiled slowly, and said, "A good girl, how can you scare people at every turn? Do you know who I am? I am Gu Wulang from Central Plains, and my father is the owner of the tea house. My mother is an ordinary housewife, and my grandfather is a tea farmer. Although they have no background, if you really drag me behind a horse, you will not have good tea to drink in Xiliang." /

I glared at him with a bulging mouth. Tea has only been introduced to Xiliang in the past few years. In the eyes of Xiliang people, it is simply the best thing in the world. Father Wang loves to drink the tea from the Central Plains. The whole area of ​​Xiliang likes to drink tea. No one can live without tea for a day. If what this guy said is true, it would be too annoying.

He just looked at me with a smile like that.

Just when I was upright angry, I suddenly heard a "poof" smile not far behind me.

I looked back and it turned out to be the master. I don't know where he popped up suddenly, looking at me and laughing.

I was angry and annoyed, and said to him, "You dare to come to see me! I waited for three days and three nights on the sand dunes for nothing! What about the most handsome and handsome man you found for me?"

The master pointed to the man riding the white horse and said, "It's him!"

The man riding the white horse still smiled narrowly and stretched out his hand again. I saw that there was not a jade pendant in his palm, but a pair of jade pendants. He held the jade pendant in one hand and looked like he was watching a good show.

I was completely stupid, and it took a long time to come back to my senses, I don’t want to marry this Central Plains person! Although he looks pretty handsome, he has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth. He is not willing to forgive others, and he is still playing tricks on me. I hate someone playing tricks on me the most!

I furiously beat the horse and walked back, not ignoring them. The master and Gu Wulang also rode behind me on horseback, and they started chatting without a word.

The master said: "I thought you wouldn't come."

Then Gu Wulang said: "I received a letter from the flying pigeon, can I not come?"

They talked enthusiastically, and I just learned that the master and him are old acquaintances, and the two seem to have endless words. The master is telling Gu Wulang about the customs and customs of Xiliang along the way. That Gu Wulang listened very attentively, and every sentence of their words came to my ears. I didn't listen to it. The two people gradually talked about the way of business and travel. I have never heard the master say so much. I was so boring to hear that I couldn't help but yawn. Not far away, the gray wheel of the royal city finally appeared, it was huge gravel bricks, the city walls and towers built one after another. The towering and magnificent city walls are like continuous mountains, and the high city walls cover most of the sky. The closer you go, the more you feel that the city walls are high, the Western Regions are desolate, and there is no such big city. The tribes of Xiliang originally lived by water and grass, until a hundred years ago, a Shanyu came out to traverse all the tribes of the Western Regions, and finally built this magnificent royal city, which was called Xiliang Kingdom. Then it has been married with Turks, Qiuci, and Yueshi through the ages, and has been awarded by the Central Plains. This royal city is on the main business route between the Central Plains and Dashi, and visitors must pass by, so it gradually becomes prosperous. With fierce soldiers and horses, the sons and men were brave and good at fighting, and Xiliang eventually became a powerful country in the Western Regions. Although the territory is not very large, it is the Central Plains, and now I dare not despise Xiliang. The majestic city wall is even more magnificent and magnificent against the black and purple sky. I saw the wind lantern at the top of the building, which flickered on a high place, like a huge star, and higher up, there was an endless starry sky. Stars shattered like frosting spread all over the sky, while Wangcheng is a thin naan under this frosting. Seeing it, I feel at ease and content-as if I was full.

I patted the little red horse, and it ran briskly. The luan bell tied under its neck made a crisp sound, and the sound of a camel bell in the distance, "咣啷咣咫" is very nice. There must be caravans on the road taking advantage of the cool night, so the gates of the royal city will not be closed overnight. I took the lead in running into the city gate, and the water sellers guarding the drinking well at the gate knew me, calling "Nine Princesses", and threw me a bunch of grapes from a distance. It was given to them by past business travelers, and every time they left me the sweetest and biggest string.

I smiled and caught the grapes, grabbed one into my mouth, and smashed the thin skin of the grapes. The cool and sweet juice burst in my tongue. It was delicious. I turned around and asked the master: "Hey! Do you want to eat?"

I never called the master to be a master. I was deceived by him when I worshipped him as a master. At that time, we just met. I didn’t know that he was excellent at swordsmanship. I was motivated by his words. I competed with him. Whoever loses will worship the other as a teacher. I can imagine how badly I lost, so I had to admit him. Master. However, although he is a master, he often does a lot of things that do not respect the master, so I refused to call him a master at all. Fortunately, he didn't think that he was disgusted, and let me feed all the time.

The master shook his head absent-mindedly, he was still talking sideways to the man in the white robe. Occasionally, the master also taught me the words in the books of the Central Plains, such as "I don't like to see a gentleman, Yunhu is not happy", or "A gentleman is modest and moist as jade." After all, I thought that all the gentlemen wear white robes, but the master also likes to wear white robes, but what kind of gentleman is the master?

Gu Xiaowu stayed in Xiliang City. He temporarily lived with the master. The place where the master lives is arranged like all the houses of the Central Plains, fresh and clean, and does not raise camels.

I often ran to the master to play with me as before. I came and went, and I became very familiar with Gu Xiaowu. I heard that he is the young master of the tea house, and most of the people with him are tea merchants in the Central Plains. In his house, there will always be good tea to drink, and there are also many delicious things, such as the cakes of the Central Plains, or other weird knick-knacks, which I can’t put down. But what is annoying is that every time he meets Gu Xiaowu, he always asks me: Nine Princesses, when will you marry me?

I became angry from shame. It was because the master was disrespectful of the master and caused such things. I always replied loudly: "I would rather marry the Prince of Central Plains than marry a rogue like you."

He laughed loudly.

Actually, in my heart, I don’t want to marry anyone. Xiliang is so good, why should I marry far to the Central Plains?

In spite of this, the envoys of the Central Plains began to urge the father, and Yueshi, north of Yanzhi Mountain, heard that the Central Plains sent envoys to propose marriage to the father, and sent envoys and brought many gifts. Arrived in Xiliang.

Yueshi is one of the largest countries in the Western Regions. It is brave and good at fighting, and the whole country controls the strings with one hundred thousand. His father did not dare to neglect, so he met the Yueshi envoys in the palace. I sent the maid to eavesdrop on their conversation, and the maid came back out of breath and quietly told me that this envoy of the Yue clan had also come to beg, and he was begging for marriage on behalf of the Yue clan. Yue’s Dadan was already fifty years old this year. His Dalan was originally a Turk’s prince and daughter, and was my mother’s sister, but the Dalan unfortunately died of illness the year before, and Yue’s Danyu There were a lot of people from the Lan family, who came from different tribes, and there were quarrels, and the place of the Da Lan family had to be there forever. Now Yueshi heard that the Central Plains sent an envoy to propose marriage, so he also sent an envoy to propose to his father, wanting to marry me as the Dana family.

Aniang is angry about this, and I am also angry. That Yue's Shan Yu was obviously my uncle, even his beard was white, and he wanted to marry me to be the Da-Fan, so I don't want to marry an old man. The father did not want to offend the Central Plains, nor did he want to offend Yuezhi, so he had to delay vaguely. But the two envoys lived in the royal city, and it was difficult to delay day by day. I made up my mind and decided to sneak to my grandfather.

Every fall, Turkic nobles hunt in the pastures at the end of Tiangen Mountain. The Central Plains is called "Autumn Hunter". My grandfather always sent people to pick me up while hunting, especially in the past two years because of his poor health, so he would take me to him every year.

He said: "Seeing you is like seeing your mother. It makes Aon very happy."

According to Turkic rules, a married daughter cannot be returned to Ning unless she is abandoned by her husband. So every time A Niang is happy to send me to see A Weng, to visit her relatives in Turk for her. I secretly told A-niang about this plan. She was not willing to marry me to the Central Plains, and she didn't want me to marry to Yueshi, so she prepared water and dry food for me without telling my father. Quietly sent me away.

I rode the little red horse and ran towards Tiangen Mountain.

The King City is surrounded by mountains on three sides, rolling up and down from west to north is Yanzhi Mountain. The towering mountains look like a winding dragon, and like a giant's outstretched arms. It embraces the King City, blocking the sand and cold, making the foothill The Royal City has become a warm oasis. To the east is Tiangen Mountain. It is a lonely high mountain, like a screen sold by merchants in the Central Plains. It is inserted high in the clouds for a long time, and the top of the mountain is covered with white snow. It is said that no one can climb it. . Bypassing it, it is the endless grassland with endless aquatic plants and the hometown of A Niang.

When I was out of town, I left a note for the master. The master has been very busy recently. Since that Gu Xiaowu came, I have never seen him. I think I will come back after the winter when I go to Turke, so I left a note for him, telling him not to forget to feed me Abba and Asya who are locked in his backyard. Abba and Axia are two small gerbils, I caught by chance. My father did not allow me to keep gerbils in my bed, so I put them in the master's place.

Taking advantage of the cool weather, I followed the caravan that went out of town at night to leave the city. The caravans were all going west, only I turned east.

The desert at night is so quiet, the black velvet sky seems to be low enough to reach out, and there are stars, one by one, low, big and bright, reminiscent of the dew on grape leaves. It's so cool. I crossed the large sand dunes and saw the sparse splendens, confirming that I was not on the wrong path. I follow this path almost every year, but at that time there were always cavalry sent by my grandfather. Today I am the only one. The little red horse ran briskly, towards the direction pointed by the Big Dipper. I began to calculate in my heart that when I saw my Aon this time, he must let the slaves catch me a bird that could sing.

I felt very sleepy when it was about to dawn. The red sun was about to come out. The sky in the east began to glow with a light purple glow. The stars were long gone. The sky was blue-gray with a kind of white, like It was the slaves who turned over the sheepskin that had just been peeled, and it was steaming half of the sky as if it were freshly cut into the heat. I know I have to find a place to rest. The sun can scorch people to death around noon, which is not a good time to go.

Walking across a shallow river, I found the shady hill, so I got off the horse and let the horse go to graze on its own, resting on its own dry food, and slept beautifully. I slept until the sun was slanting and my face was very uncomfortable before I woke up.

I took out the dry food from the package to eat, drank half a bag of water, filled the water bag again, and gave a whistle.

In a short while, I heard the hoof of the little red horse, and it rushed toward me happily, snapping its nose. After a while, he ran in front of me and licked my hand affectionately. I touched its mane: "Are you full?"

It's a pity that it can't speak, but it will look at me with its eyes, with light reflected in its large, gentle eyes, reflecting my own shadow. I patted its neck, and it suddenly neighed uncomfortably.

I think it’s a bit strange. The little red horse is constantly digging the grass with his front hoofs. It seems very restless. Is there a wolf nearby?

The wolves in the grassland are the most terrifying. They are in groups, daring to fight against the lions, and the lone shepherd will be dangerous if they encounter them. But it is autumn, when the water and grass are beautiful, there are yellow sheep and hares everywhere, and the wolves are full of food. They hide in the Tiangen Mountains and cannot easily come down. They should not haunt here.

But the little red horse is so irritable, there must be some reason. I turned on my horse and walked further to the foot of Tiangen Mountain. Turning the foot of the mountain is where the Turkic and Xiliang borders. A Niang sent someone to send a letter to A Weng, and someone would meet me there. It is safer to walk to a place with people.

Zongma just ran out of Lixu and suddenly heard the sound of horses' hoofs. I stood on horseback and looked into the distance. In the distance, I could see a faint line of black and gray, it seemed that there were many people and horses. Could it be that the father sent someone to chase me? We were too far apart to see the cavalry flag. I felt very uneasy and could only rush the horse towards Tiangen Mountain. If I rushed into the territory of Turkic and met Aweng's people, Daddy would have to take me back.

The pursuit of soldiers is getting closer and closer, and the little red horse is like an arrow from the string, running wildly on the vast grassland. But the world is unobstructed, although the little red horse is amazing, but sooner or later he will be caught up.

I kept looking back at the chasing soldiers, they were chasing very close, at least there were nearly a thousand horses. On the grassland, such a cavalry is really amazing. Even if it is Daddy, I am afraid that he will not easily mobilize such a large number of people. If he really came to chase me, it would be too fussy. While riding a horse, I was wondering in my heart, where did the cavalry come from?

It didn’t take long for the little red horse to rush to the foot of Tiangen Mountain. I saw a few small black spots all the way away. I heard a long voice in my ears. It was the tone of the Turkic pastoral, familiar and kind, I wanted to be sure Of course, it was the person Aon sent to meet me. So I clamped the horse's belly desperately and urged the little red horse to run faster, faster. The Turkic people also saw me, they got on horseback and waved to me desperately.

I also waved to them desperately. Behind me was the chaser of the cavalry. They must have seen it too. The horse ran faster and closer, and I saw the white banner of Turkic. Its long tail was blown out by the evening wind, like a fish floating in the air. I know the man who holds the flag, but he is the most favored archer in front of Aweng's tent.

He saw the dark cavalry on the horizon chasing up, immediately plunged the flag into the rocks, and then took off the bow on his back.

I saw it clearly on the back of a running horse, and hurriedly shouted, "I don't know who it is!" Although they have been chasing me, I still want to figure out who they are.

My horse has been rushing through the body of the lost horse for ten feet, and then slowly stopped. After He lost his body, dozens of arrow clusters in the hands of archers shone blue in the setting sun. They squinted their eyes and aimed at the cavalry who came up to them, and they rode horses to surround me in the middle, and greeted me with a hearty smile: "Little princess, hello."

Although I am not the prince and daughter of the Turks, because of my mother, the warriors of the Turks who grew up in front of the tent called me this way. I felt very relieved when I saw He lost, even the chasing soldiers behind Qianqi also forgot to the back of his head immediately, and said happily to him: "He lost, you are fine too!"

Those iron knights were no more than two arrows away from us, the earth shook, and the ears rumbling and rumbling were all hoofs. "Heh!" He Shi seemed to sigh, and his smile became more and more happy, "So many people, are they here to fight with us?" He Shi talked to me, opened his bow and shot the arrow. Fastened to the string, beside him, was the white banner of the Turkic, which was blown "Hula Hula" by the wind. On the grassland, any tribe who sees this banner will know that the warriors of Tiergheda are here. If anyone dares to use force against the Turkic warriors, the Turkic cavalry will surely trample their tents and kill them all. The tribesmen took their cattle and sheep captive. Outside of Yumen Pass, no one has dared to disrespect this white banner!
