We just counted a dozen of them. Gu Xiaowu has a faint cool scent on his body, which is not found on Turkic and Xiliang people. I think this faint scent makes me uncomfortable. He also seemed to have a fever on his face, he was really too close to me. Suddenly a gust of wind blew, and his hair brushed on my face, soft, soft and itchy, and my hand holding the hem of my clothes could not help but loosen, the fireflies flew up eagerly, the bright moon spread out and turned into countless fine meteors. , For a while, Gu Xiaowu and I were surrounded by these meteors, and their gleaming light illuminated each other's faces. I saw his dark eyes, looking at me. I thought of the people who sang outside Adu's tent. That's how they looked at Adu. Their scorching eyes were like fire, and they looked weak. However, Gu Xiaowu's eyes were warmer, and my shadow was reflected in his eyes. I suddenly felt that something softened quietly in my heart, which made me feel uncomfortable and good. He suddenly became embarrassed when he saw me watching him. He turned away to look at the fireflies in the sky and said, "All gone!"

I can't help but say: "Like a meteor!"

He also laughed: "Meteor!"

Countless fireflies flew into the sky, like thousands of meteors passing by our fingertips. When the gods released the meteors, it was like this. This situation is like a dream. I think I will never forget this night by the river. Thousands of fireflies surrounded us. They flew by lightly and scattered in all directions, like the golden light of meteors breaking through the night. I think of singing in the song, the gods and the people he loves standing in the galaxy, just as gorgeous as this.

Da Shanyu sent a messenger to tell his father that he had chosen a husband-in-law for me, Gu Xiaowu. Father Wang was in a dilemma between Yueshi and Zhongyuan, so he immediately wrote a reply letter asking Aweng to be the master for me and preside over the marriage. When the father's reply arrived, the wedding had already begun.

The wedding customs of the Turks are grand and simple. Shililian Camp slaughtered countless fat sheep, and the wine fragrant everywhere. In these days, Gu Xiaowu has become friends with the Turkic nobles. The Turkic atmosphere most respects the hero. He first shot and killed the White-eyed Wolf King, and then he lost in the competition. In the eyes of Turkic people, he is already young. A promising hero. The priest sang beaming hymns, and we stepped on the red felt and slowly walked towards the high platform where the gods were worshipped. At this moment, when he heard the rush of horses' hoofs, the scout crawled to the seat of Dadanyu.

Across the lively crowd, I saw Da Shanyu's eyebrows frown, and regardless of the priest's tune and singing hymns, I turned back and ran to Da Shanyu: "Aweng!"

Da Shanyu touched my hair, smiled and said to me: "It's okay, King Yue sent some people to scold me, so I will send soldiers to send them."

Gu Xiaowu had walked behind me at some point. He bowed his shoulders to Da Shanyu in accordance with Turkic etiquette: "Da Shanyu, let me go."

"You?" Da Shanyu raised his eyes and took a look at him. "The Yueshi King has fifty thousand people." Moreover, the Yueshi King is a battle-tested veteran. Although Gu Xiaowu has an exquisite arrow technique, In the face of thousands of enemies, I am afraid that no matter how subtle the arrow is, it is useless.

"Then Da Shan Yu waits for work, send 30,000 cavalry to meet the enemy." Gu Xiaowu said, "If Da Shan Yu is not at ease, please send a general to go, I will be the general for the general, if you can shoot the cold arrow Shi’s position is also considered to be a small work."

Da Shanyu was still hesitating, but He lost said: "The Central Plains' art of war is good. On the way, they led people to defeat the Yues."

Da Shanyu finally nodded, and said to Gu Xiaowu: "Go, bring back to the head of General Yueshi as your wedding sacrifice to the gods."

Gu Xiaowu knelt in accordance with the etiquette of the Central Plains and said: "May God bless you!" When he stood up, he glanced at me and said, "I will go back."

I was very worried. Seeing him turn around and walk outside, I hurriedly followed up a few steps, and tied my belt around his waist.

According to the wedding ceremony, the couple exchanges belts, which is already a ceremony. The two officially became husband and wife under the witness of the gods. I originally wanted him to untie his belt and fasten it for me, but the slave has brought his horse over. I didn’t have time to talk to him. While he recognized the stirrups and mounted the horse, he said to me: "I'll be back when I go."

I pulled his sleeves, reluctant to give up. I think of many things, think of waiting three days and three nights on the sand dunes, just to wait for this person; think of me being planted right away and he saved me; think of the story he told me that night; think of him killing his eyes The wolf king, also won a terrible loss; I think of the fireflies by the river, from that time, I have made up my mind to never be separated from him... But now he is going to fight to kill the enemy, I can't help but worry very much.

He probably saw the look in my eyes, so he smiled and leaned over to touch my face. His fingers were slightly warm, not like father-king's hands, and even less like Aon's hands, but like A-niang's hands. I think if he has such a delicate arrow, why doesn't he leave a cocoon on his hand?

I always think of these trivial things when I am inexplicable. He has retracted his hand, and the formation of 30,000 people has been completed. The general who led the army by Da Shanyu is my eldest cousin, who is also Da Shanyu's grandson Imoyen. Imoyen smiled and said to me: "Sister, don't worry, I will take care of him." Turkic people are accustomed to fighting and treat war as simple as eating. I like Imoyen very much, because he used to hunt with me when he was young, and he loved me like his own sister. I said loudly: "Who wants you to take care of him? Just take care of yourself. I'm still waiting for you to come back for a drink!" Everyone laughed and said: "Little princess, don't worry, wait until the roast lamb is cooked. , We are back with the head of the Yueshi people."

Gu Xiaowu followed Imoyen’s big bow. He also put on a Turkic leather armor. The helmet covered most of his face. Seeing me looking for his face in the crowd, he turned towards I smiled again, then raised my hand and waved at me. I saw the belt tied around his waist. My belt was folded on his belt. I just tied a knot in a hurry. I couldn’t help but worry about whether the belt would fall apart later. If the belt fell apart, That’s too unlucky... but I don’t want to think about it anymore. The hooves of thousands of horses rumbled, the earth sooted up, the army opened up, gushing out of the company camp like a tide, rushing towards the grassland, for a while, He ran to the end of the horizon, and at first he could see a long black shadow from a distance. At the end, he turned the gentle **** and finally saw nothing.

Adu saw me standing there with a look of sorrow, and couldn't help making a gesture to me.

I know what she meant, she was comforting me, and they came back in a while. I nodded. Although there are 50,000 Yue Kings, they are all tired soldiers from afar. Turkic elite soldiers can resist ten, thirty thousand are enough to meet the enemy. Moreover, if Wang Zhang is stationed here, there are 100,000 horses, and he can immediately help.

The roast lamb rang "sizzling" on the fire, and the slaves offered mare's milk and wine, and laughter everywhere. Everyone knows, but there will be news of victory in a while, and then the Turkic children will return. I remembered the event of Shicai's farewell, and my face couldn't help but feel a fever. When Imoyan came back, he didn't know how he would laugh at me! He will definitely say that I am reluctant to take care of Xiaowu, and when he comes back, he will take the lead in making fun of me. The young aristocrats of the Turkic faintly headed by Imoyen, and those people could have mocked at the Song Contest tonight. I was worried for a while, thinking that Gu Xiaowu can't sing. After he comes back, I must tell him so as not to make a fool of himself in the song.

I don't know, they will never come back.

Many, many years later, I read about this day in the history books of Central Plains. A few words, almost dull: "In July, the prince Cheng Yin entered the Western Regions and joined the Yue clan countries and attacked the Turks with an army of 400,000. The Turkic Tirgheda died of the rebellious army because of its fierceness. More than 200,000 people were killed and the clan was destroyed."

About that day, I don't remember anything, I just remember Heshi was still holding his bow tightly before he died. He suffered numerous stab wounds between his chest and abdomen, blood was flowing, and he couldn't survive. He tried his best to send Adu and I to a horse. The last sentence was: "Adu, take care of the princess!"

I watched the black and crushed feather arrows shoot over, like a dense rain of locusts, and like thousands of meteors. If the gods let go, all the stars in his palms will fall down. Let's do it like this... Adu rode the horse desperately, leading me to run. There was fire on all sides, blood on all sides, and hacking sounds on all sides. The hundreds of thousands of troops of the Central Plains and Yueshi seemed to have emerged from the ground. Although the Turkic people resisted stubbornly, they couldn't beat such a storm... Countless people fell behind us, and countless bloodstains splashed on us. If there is no loss, we have no way to escape from the encirclement of hundreds of thousands of troops, but in the end the loss still died. Adu and I escaped on the grassland for six days and six nights before being overtaken by the chasing soldiers.

I was injured on my leg, and A'du also had several minor injuries on her body, but she still drew the knife and protected me behind her. The hatred in my heart seemed to be a raging fire, which made my whole mouth dry. I thought in my heart: these people, these people killed A Weng; these people, these people killed Gu Xiaowu; these People, these people killed all Turkic people. Although I am not from Turkic, I have half of Turkic blood in my blood.

Now I and Adu are left. Even if I shed the last drop of blood, I will not shame Aon or the Turks.

At this moment, one of the Central Plains horses and horses escaped, and Adu swung his knife and rushed over, but the man just gently and skillfully reached out his hand, and Adu's knife fell to the ground with a bang. I stared at that person dumbfounded. This person must know how to do magic, right? Otherwise, how could the spell take away Adu's knife and make her unable to move there?

Adu glared at the man. Adu rarely got angry, but I knew she was really angry. I picked up Adu's knife and slashed at the man. I have red eyes, no matter who it is, no matter who it is, I will kill him!

The man just stretched out his hand and touched me lightly. My eyes went dark and suddenly I didn't know anything.

When I woke up, I was carried face down on the horseback, like a bag of millet, and the mud splashed by the horses' hoof kept hitting my face, but I couldn't move. There are horseshoes on all sides, countless horse legs one after another, just like countless splendens being blown by the wind, I was dazzled and had to close my eyes. I don’t know how long it took, the horse finally stopped, and I was lifted from the horse’s back, but the acupuncture point on my leg was sealed for too long, and I couldn’t stand firmly, and suddenly fell to the ground.

The ground is covered with thick felt. This must be the camp of the General of the Central Plains. Is it the Master Protector? I looked up, but saw Gu Xiaowu. Countless Turkic warriors have died in battle, especially the 30,000 Turkic soldiers who met the enemy beforehand. None of them came back alive. But Gu Xiaowu, he was alive and well. .

Not only was he alive, but he changed the clothes of Central Plains. Although he didn't wear armor, he was as gentle as a scholar from Central Plains, but I knew that such a tent would never be for scholars. There are many guards around him, and the Central Plains general who caught us, kneeled down to salute Gu Xiaowu as soon as he came in. The armor of the Central Plains general made a crisp sound. This is the highest etiquette in Central Plains. It is said that the Central Plains only has Seeing the most distinguished person will do such a ceremony. I suddenly came to understand, Gu Xiaowu, Gu Xiaowu turned out to be Zhongyuan’s internal response! It was him, it was he who caused the enemy's surprise attack. I don’t know where the strength came from, I tried my best to scream at him: "Spirit!"

The guards on the left and right yelled loudly. Someone kicked my leg, and my leg softened and fell to the ground again. I saw Master Duhu, and he also bowed and saluted Gu Xiaowu. They all spoke the Central Plains dialect, and I couldn't understand a word. Gu Xiaowu didn't look at me. Master Duhu said a lot to Gu Xiaowu. I watched Gu Xiaowu calmly, and finally everyone exited the tent. Gu Xiaowu took a dagger and walked towards me.

I thought he would kill me, but he picked off the tendon that tied my hand and said to me, "I'm wronged you."

I tilted my head and looked at him, my tone as calm as possible: "Gu Xiaowu, one day I will kill you and avenge Aweng."

"You traitor, spy." I couldn't say anything worse, so I had to scold him over and over again. He didn't get angry at all, but smiled at me: "If you feel angry, then scold again. The last few sentences are fine."

I looked at him like a stranger. This man walked away from our wedding and led thirty thousand Turkic children to meet the enemy. But I didn't expect to cooperate with the Yue clan inside and outside, not only the 30,000 elite of Turks were wiped out clean, but the army of the Central Plains and the Yue clan rushed into the king's account. Aweng was caught off guard, and killed by them, the Turks were really dead! Two hundred thousand people... what kind of massacre was that? Adu and I almost escaped from the Xiuluo field. Two hundred thousand people's blood poured over the entire grassland, and the people who presided over the massacre were muddled. Stand here without incident.

I finally got tired of cursing and curled up there just wondering what kind of stone his heart is. I looked at him exhaustedly and said, "You have lied to me for so long, why don't you kill me with a single blow now?"

He looked at me. He didn't speak for a long time. After a long time, he suddenly turned his face and looked at the sunlight coming through the curtain. The door curtain was originally a snow-white cloth, but now it has been dyed black and gray by the dust, but the early autumn sunshine is wonderful, shining brightly on the ground, reflecting our shadows. He suddenly reached out and clasped my wrist. My wrist was weak, and the small scimitar that I had just pulled out fell on the ground. That was his knife. He originally changed his sword to Hefei, but he finally gave it to me. Adu and I were very embarrassed along the way. I hid the knife and wanted to use it to stab myself to death at the last moment, so as not to be humiliated by the enemy. When I got to the account, I finally changed my mind. I thought I should use it to stab the person in front of me, but he noticed it. How can I avenge Aon?

I fell to the ground, panting.

He looked at me with heavy eyes and said, "Don't do such a stupid thing."

Stupid? I almost want to laugh out loud, who else in this world would be stupid than me? I trusted a person and almost married him. This person was a spy sent by Zhongyuan. I thought he died in the battle with Yueshi, and I wanted to avenge him.

At this moment, someone suddenly walked in and said something of Central Plains to Gu Xiaowu.

Gu Xiaowu's expression changed. He grabbed the small scimitar, left me and walked out of the tent. I was exhausted and lay there motionless. I don’t know how long it took, someone gently pulled my clothes and called my name: "Xiao Feng!"

I looked back and found that it was the master. I was overjoyed. I grabbed his hand and asked: "Why are you here?"

The master said to me: "This is not a place to talk, I will take you away first."

He drew his sword and cut the tent, and we slipped out from behind the tent. There were several horses tied there. We both got on the horses and were about to rush out of the camp. I suddenly remembered: "Adu! There is also Adu!"

"What Adu?"

I said: "My lost sister Adu, she has been protecting me and rushing out, I can't leave her behind."

Master had no choice but to take me back to find Adu. We found Adu in the camp where the prisoners were held, but the guards were alarmed. Although the master of swordsmanship was brilliant, he was trapped in a ten-mile company. The fight was entangled and it was difficult to get out.
