Novoland: Eagle Flag Chapter 5: Three wolves

"He...he's a pig!" The old man jumped and shouted.

"Teacher! Teacher! What are you talking about?" Amochi wanted to go up and cover his mouth anxiously, but he couldn't reach it, so he jumped up anxiously.

"I'm saying that Guo Leer is just a pig with no brains!" ? How could a ten-year-old child walk so far? That is Asule, his body died before reaching Xiatang! Which father would send his son to death with his own hands? Only the one who doesn’t use his brain The pig king! Why didn't I see that he was a pig!"

Amochi said with a bitter face: "The majesty has already issued an order, and now even if he rides a fast horse, he will not be able to recover this order. The nobles all agreed with this decision. After several Khan kings got the news, a large I have already entered the tent to pay my respects, and I am going to arrange the etiquette for going south."

"Yes! That's right!" The old man breathed out his mouth full of alcohol, "Guoler is not the only one who is a pig. You still have a brain!"

He hurried around in the tent, finally took out the thick horse stick from under the bed, and opened the curtain of the tent to rush out.

"Teacher!" Amochi grabbed his back tightly, "Where do you want to go?"

The old man stood there blankly, not saying a word for a long time. The horse stick fell from his hand and hit Amochi's feet. When Amochi was jumping and hugging his feet, the old man turned back sadly and returned to the sitting bed.

He tilted his neck and took a sip of wine, and suddenly seemed to be much older: "Yeah, where am I going?"

In the tent not far away, Mu Li took a deep breath. He could still hear Dahesa's drunken cursing from outside, he didn't expect this old man who always hides from trouble to be so angry.

"My son, the majesty ordered this morning that, at the request of General Tuoba Shanyue, as the representative of our ministry, I asked my son to be a special envoy to the Tang Dynasty, escorted by the Nine Kings, and Mu Li is ready to go Muli will always send you to the seaside. This is a great thing for us in Qingyang for a hundred years, the majesty said, please don't miss your family."

The child nodded calmly: "I see, I listen to Abba and General Muli, when will it come out."

"Four days later."

"Four days...I want to visit my grandma, can I?"

"Of course, the majesty said, I don't know when I will come back from this long journey. These days, my son is having a good time in Beidu."

The child lowered his head and thought for a while, then looked at the silent girl beside him: "Can I take Suma?"

"The majesty said no. Those who accompany the son on the road will be accompanied by two companions of the son. Suma is a person who has committed a crime and cannot be taken away."

"I see." The child whispered.

He got up silently and walked towards the outside of the tent. After walking a few steps, he turned around and came back to hold his little maid's hand. Mu Li watched the two children walking away silently together, and shook his head gently.

The afternoon sun hangs like a sharp sword overhead.

Asule stood at the end of the mountain stream, silently looking at the mouth of the spring, the gurgling clear stream flowing out of the dark hole.

"Grandpa...I'm leaving! I can't go back to see you!" He yelled towards the entrance of the cave. He really wanted to see the exit of the black hole again. . He couldn't see the sun, he only knew that he had eaten all the naan and drank all the water, during which he crawled through countless forks.

He didn't know what kind of will led him out, maybe it was the old man's eyes, the sadness like a lion.

A shadow falls on him.

"Suma? Just wait for me over there." He turned around.

Suma was not there. The person standing at the entrance of the cave looked at him silently, with an iron-clad epee and eyebrows like sharp blades.

"Are you here to say goodbye to him?" Maharaja asked in a low voice.

Asule hesitated for a moment, knowing that he could no longer hide it, he nodded.

"Why didn't you tell Dad? You said you couldn't remember, and you deliberately wanted to hide it for him?"

"He said that if Dad knew that I had seen him, he would definitely not let him go."

"You trust him?"

Asule hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"You trust him..." Maharaja laughed silently, full of bitterness, "You trust him, you will come to say goodbye to him...Is it because he treats you well, but Dad treats you not well? "

Azule did not speak.

The majesty sighed: "He really treats you very well, he taught you the Dapi sword... In this world, except him, who else can teach you the Dapi sword."

He gently stroked the top of Asule's head: "Okay, since you want to say goodbye to him, Abba will grant your wish. As the heir of Lu's Pasur family, you should meet him of."

He lit the torch he had prepared, took Asu Le's hand, and approached the deep cave.

The cave was full of the sound of running water, but no one could see where the water was flowing.

The maharaja took his son's hand, walked for an unknown amount of time, and finally stopped.

"Majesty." A voice suddenly came from the side.

Asule was taken aback, and wanted to shrink behind his father. He saw the old man who suddenly appeared beside him. He didn't see it underground. This old man was also pale and thin. He glanced at it. His head was covered with moss. It seemed that he hadn't left here for a long time. Melt together.

"Have you seen him?" Maharaja pointed to Asule.

The old man nodded.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"It's too late."

The Maharaja took out a bronze key and handed it to him: "Open the door."

The old man did not answer, and untied a heavy bronze key from his belt. He merged the key with the key handed over by the Maharaja, and Asule could tell that it was two halves of a key, with weird tooth marks interlaced like wolf teeth.

The majesty nodded, took Asule's hand and took a few steps back. The old man forcefully inserted the key into the mechanism of the copper door. As he turned it with all his strength, the rusted gears and chains started to run again. When it fell down, Asule looked around anxiously, it seemed that the mechanism was not activated by the bronze door.

The door did not open, but the old man backed out.

The roof of the cave seemed to have completely collapsed, accompanied by countless dust, and suddenly a giant tree came rushing down from the darkness. Its copper-covered head hit the copper door heavily, and the door frame, which was soaked in copper juice, tore and bent, and the copper door burst open. The old man stepped aside and stepped aside to open the entrance.

Back to this familiar place again, the fluorescent light of the fish was still changing vaguely on the bluestone cave roof, Asule trembled all over his body, his father held his hand tightly, and stepped on the cold and wet ground.

The endless sound of water, other than that there is only silence.

An old voice came from the distant darkness: "Goler, my son, you are so kind, have you come to see your aging father again?"

"His Royal Highness King Chindahan," the maharaja's voice was chillingly calm, "I haven't seen you for ten years, and you are still alive, my father." He said every word.

King Chindahan... son... father... Asule felt as if his head was split open in an instant, and a light illuminated those blurred things. He trembled and wanted to back away, but the Maharaja firmly grabbed his hand, preventing him from running away.

The majesty lowered the torch and shone it on Asule's face: "Look who I brought here? This is your grandson Asule, I brought him to visit you and say goodbye to you."

"Asule..." The voice in the darkness suddenly became fierce and violent, "Guoler! What did you say to him? You... why did you bring him here? Take him away! Take him away Go! I don't want to see anyone!"

"I didn't tell him anything, what can I say? But now, he probably heard it all. I didn't want to bring him, but he is going on a long journey. I don't know if you will see each other again in your lifetime. See him. The son knows that you like this grandson, so let you take another look at him."

"Travel...far?" The voice in the darkness became anxious again, and Asule heard the sound of chains tinkling, "Where are you going to send him? He doesn't know anything , he's just a kid, he's just a kid!"

"I haven't killed my own child's viciousness yet. Your Highness Father, we have decided to make an alliance with the Lower Tang, and the East Six people that my father defeated. So Asule is our distinguished guest sent to the Lower Tang. Once I go, I don’t know how many years it will take.”

"VIP? What VIP? I'm not confused yet. Are you trying to imitate King Xun's trick of giving Guangmu to his adoptive father? Take Asule as a hostage, he is a hostage!"

The majesty did not answer him, but turned his head and gently stroked the top of his son's head: "Asule, you heard me right. Take a closer look at him, this is your grandfather, Lugo Nagor Hongga Pa Sur, the well-known King Chindahan on the grassland, some people say that he is the only real hero on the grassland after King Xun, and he led the Iron Buddha cavalry to defeat the Fengyan Iron Brigade of the Donglu people. "

"Abba." Asule raised his head.

His tears flowed down suddenly, he didn't know why he was crying, but he felt a frightening sadness from those words. The Maharaja's hand on his head was trembling slightly, and his calm face seemed to be covered with a mask.

"My son, are you laughing at me?" The voice in the darkness laughed so desolately.

"You are indeed a great warrior. Even if you are crazy, in the hearts of the people on the grassland, you are still their savior." The Maharaja's voice became severe, "But why don't you rest in peace? Keep you My myths are praised by others, what more do you want?"

"What do I want? I want to be free, my son Goleer, are you willing to give it to me?"

"Freedom? You are really crazy!" The Maharaja sneered, "Why did you teach Asule the Dabi Sword? Does my father hope that he will be like you in the future? Is this my father's revenge against me?"

There was silence in the darkness for a while: "He is the last little leopard of our Pasur family that bleeds bronze blood. Except for him, no one can learn the Dabi knife. I don't want the courage of my ancestors to end in my generation Now, the blood of bronze was passed down by your ancestor Lu Qingyang Imad..."

"The courage of the ancestors?" the Maharaja interrupted him, "You should have died a long time ago, with your Dabi Sword and your bronze blood."

"You have already imprisoned your father, do you still want to destroy the blood of your ancestors?" The man in the darkness growled.

"We can't let people know that our Pasuer family of the Lu family is a family of lunatics. The most noble bronze family on the grassland, the bronze-colored blood, is just a mad blood. No, there is absolutely no such thing! The majesty also drank, "Emad, Gulal, and Nagor Hongga, these are the heroes of our Pasur family. They are brave and strong, and they are the people who were given to us by the Pantar God to save the grassland." There is absolutely no doubt about it! But I don't want to produce any crazy heroes!"

"What lunatic? The war on the prairie is like this. If you are not crazy, you will die on the battlefield! You want to protect your family and relatives. If you are not crazy, just watch them be taken away as slaves, look at you His wife and sisters were raped! You are such a cowardly son, I should not pass on the position of Maharaja to you!"

The majesty actually laughed, and the smile was so ugly: "Protect your family and relatives? Everyone knows that the Da Yan clan of the Zhenyan Department, my sister Su Damar died of a cold disease. But Father, do you still remember that she came to Beidu to intercede for me. You strangled her to death with a horsewhip!"

The voice in the darkness suddenly stopped, leaving only the Maharaja's heavy breathing.

"Call him Grandpa." The Maharaja took a deep breath and took his son's hand.

Asule trembled.

"Call him!" the Maharaja roared.

"Grandpa!..." There was a long silence in the darkness.

"Asule...I am your grandfather, I am your grandfather..." The familiar voice came in a low voice, "Listen to your father, don't tell this secret, grandpa is here , very good."

Asule's tears fell suddenly, he was afraid of that calm and soft voice, he only felt that the weight inside would crush him.

"Well, farewell, father," the Maharaja whispered, "we will not see each other again."

"Wait, can I ask one more thing?"

The majesty was silent.

"When Aqin Motu died, what was it like? What did she say? Did she hate me? She could..."

"That's enough! What else do you want to know? She followed you to the grassland from East China. She left her relatives. She often told me about Tianqi City, but she never went back, because she Said she wanted to be with you...but what did you do to her? You doubted her chastity, you whipped her in public, you made her clean up horse manure like a slave, you drove her out of the North and made her die for a jar of mare's milk Ruin! You are a lunatic!" The Maharaja seemed to grit the words coldly between his teeth, "Madman!"

The man in the dark did not speak for a long time.

"Goler, I'm about to die, Pantar God will send my soul to hell, I just want to..."

After a long silence, Maharaja looked at the dripping water on the top of the cave and took a deep breath.

"I just remember that it was a sunny morning, my eyes were swollen, and I was lying in the tent. My mother sat beside me and sang, the sun shone on her face from the gap in the tent, the light The shadow is swaying. She is smiling, her face is red, she is singing to me, the Dong Lu song you have heard. Grandma said that Dong Lu's mother put the child in a small basket and shook it, Singing that song to lull their children to sleep so they could watch her fall asleep and wake up in the morning to see her in bed again. She never came back... no, she didn't die, when she went, she Like a goddess. When I was a child, I always believed that as long as I can climb the snow mountain, I can still see her."

"You already know, my father." Maharaja suddenly turned his head, this is the only time in Asule's life, seeing his tearful father, "Yes, I imprisoned you, I put You are locked in a dark place. I am cruel. But you have destroyed everything I have, and I cannot let you destroy my Qingyang again!"

He yanked Asule's hand out of the cave.

The copper door closed silently, Asule turned his head, wondering whether the man in the darkness was as tearful as his father.

"Majesty, I'm going to die, I can't guard this place for a long time." The old man knelt down behind the Maharaja.

The majesty was silent for a moment: "I have worked hard for you these years, it's time to change people, you should prepare, if new people come, you should leave here. I will seal you a thousand herdsmen, and you will take them with you." Go to the pastures in the south to graze, and never come back."

The old man whispered: "I don't want to leave here, I just want to ask the majesty to burn me here after I die. My sons died on the battlefield, and my woman died too. The reward is right I'm useless."

"You fought with him for more than ten years, do you still want to stay with him after you die?" The Maharaja didn't look back, "Yes."

He took Asule's hand and walked towards the place with light outside the cave. Asule turned his head and saw the old man bowing his head respectfully to the ground in the receding darkness.

Father and son finally bathed in the sunshine outside the cave, Asule felt the exhaustion rising from the deepest part of his heart, he covered his face, and slowly knelt down.

"Among your brothers, you are the only one who has seen your grandfather. He is equally relieved to see you. Abba wants you to keep this secret. Also, forget the Dabi knife forever. When you have never heard of it."

"That knife is Gu Xuan's Yin spirit. It can **** away people's souls and turn people into lunatics. It is a devil parasitic in the blood of our Lu family's Pasur family. It has chosen you for this generation. Asule, in front of the wolves, you saved Abba..."

Asule looked up at his father and saw the strong and sharp line drawn from the corner of his mouth.

"I will save my son from the hand of the devil!" said the Maharaja.
