Chapter 111 Scene Fourteen ? Caged Bird Pond Fish? Four
Chapter 111 Scene Fourteen Caged Bird Pond Fish Four
The blizzard has been falling for several days, but it still shows no sign of letting up. Under the night, the Tiezhongshan people who were marching in columns on the snowfield also took off their helmets and used thick linen cloth to cover their mouths and noses. After all, in this situation
In the bitter cold, even if you accidentally touch the iron shield while speaking, your tongue or lips will be firmly stuck in an instant. In the mild case, a layer of skin will be torn off, in the worst case, you may even be disabled.
Tuya on horseback wrapped the sheepskin blanket tighter around her body, but this move could not withstand even the slightest bit of bone-piercing cold on the Shuobei tundra. She looked back and was still exposed to the wind and snow.
The cage filled with prisoners was dragged forward by two old horses. Half of the Yimu tribesmen in the cage had been frozen to death, and the other half no longer cared about the bodies falling at their feet.
Every time a new death appears, they will fight for the clothes, shoes and hats of the deceased like wild beasts.
Tuya couldn't bear to watch this cruel scene anymore and buried her head deeper in the blanket. She knew clearly that the only person she could save with her own strength was the general sitting on the other horse next to her.
Yan is just one person.
Finally, a few sporadic lights appeared on the distant horizon. Then a group of sturdy cavalry passed through the snow and fog and came towards the exhausted Tiezhongshan people. It turned out that they had already reached the border of Yanluoyuan.
Tuya saw from a distance that the visitor was holding aloft a white deer flag in the wind and snow, representing the conservative forces of the clan. The leader was wearing white iron armor and looked out of place among a group of fur-clad prairie cavalry.
Yuan Ti got separated from him in the dense forest.
When the other party saw the princess, he couldn't hold back the tears in his eyes. He jumped off his horse and hurried towards her. Tuya also hugged his neck affectionately and comforted her softly:
"Don't be sad, old general. Look, I'm doing well!"
Ever since he could remember, Yuan Ti had been following the miserable mother and daughter like a shadow. In the girl's heart, he had already replaced her grandfather's role and became one of the few people in the world she could get close to without being defensive.
Yuan Ti shook his head and knelt down on one knee in front of the princess with great difficulty. Upon seeing this, nearly a thousand cavalrymen behind him also knelt down on the snowy field, which was in sharp contrast to the rude attitude of Tiezhongshan before. Tuya
Immediately there was a surge of emotion in my heart, and I reached out my hand to help him, but suddenly I found that the clothes around the other person's waist were stained red by the blood seeping out.
"Where was the old general injured? Did Eda punish you?" Princess Di Ren immediately guessed the reason and asked distressedly.
"It's just a little flesh wound, it's not a problem. As long as I can get you back safely, princess, I won't feel any pain."
Yuan Ti just shook his head and tried his best to put a smile on his face. The soldier holding the flag beside him couldn't help but interjected: "Because he lost the princess, He Han gave the old general five hundred lashes in anger.
.Now the skin on his back is torn and there is no intact place left!"
When Tuya heard this, her nose became sore and she shed two lines of hot tears, but she clenched her teeth tightly: "What's the truth! It was clearly Tie Zhongshan sent by Eda who drove the two of us into the death field without any explanation.
If he wants to be punished, he should be punished himself. How can he show his authority by venting his anger on others?"
"Princess, you must never say this again! If it reaches Xinhan's ears, your future life will probably be even more difficult."
Yuan Ti stood up again with the help of the girl, and quickly advised her not to make a mistake because of him. However, Tuya still snorted heavily in her nose:
"How can it be so difficult? When Eda decided to send me to Ye State as a gift, did he still think that I was his sister? If he hadn't been so protective and partial, how could these iron mountains be like that?
So rude, you don’t even believe what I said myself?”
Yuan Ti also knew that what the girl said was right. Because even though there was such a big misunderstanding this time, and even almost killed the princess, Qinahehan did not order the punishment of those in Tiezhongshan, but only lightly reprimanded them a few times.
.
However, the old man had no intention and could never tell the girl opposite these desperate things. He just sighed and took all the responsibilities on himself as before:
"In any case, the veteran should not have led everyone to leave the camp that night. If the veteran had stayed with the princess, you would not have encountered so many troubles these days."
When Tuya heard what he said, half of the resentment in her heart immediately disappeared, and she continued to ask with red eyes:
"Why should the old general excuse Eda like this? But having said that, what happened to you that night? Why haven't you come back yet?"
Yuan Ti continued to explain: "That night, it was the first time that I saw Tie Zhongshan outside Yanluoyuan. However, the order he received was to kill without mercy, so he took action without explanation. We were tired of parrying and fighting.
I lost my way while fighting. Fortunately, the old minister always carried He Hanci's token with him, and finally convinced those desperate warriors to stop. After he recognized the way back to the camp again, he finally turned back.
By that time, the princess could no longer be found."
"So, it was also because of the old general that these Tie Zhongshan believed that I was the princess of the Muyun tribe?"
"The old minister searched hard all night to no avail, and there was no way to find him in the vast snowfield, so he had no choice but to lead all the horses back to Yanluoyuan to plead guilty and persuade Hehan to send an order to Tiechung Mountain to pay attention to the person who claimed to be the princess. Fortunately, Mo Crow delivered the letter in time.
, these little beasts have not been able to harm the princess's body. If something really happened to you, even if I die to apologize, I will not be able to face Mrs. Kezun in heaven."
The two continued to chat for a few more words, and finally Tuya and his party, surrounded by the white deer flag, slowly headed towards the hinterland of Yanluo Plain.
It wasn't until he heard that Yuan Ti had escorted his sister to the tent that Qina Hehan led the leaders of the clan's large and small families to line up to greet him. The young Hehan wore a dark leather jacket embroidered with gold thread and trimmed with fox fur.
He wears a robe and wears a belt made of the white tail of a snow leopard around his waist, making him stand out among the crowd.
However, when he saw Tuya for the first time, he said coldly:
"I thought that when you returned this time, you would bring some surprises for me. Unexpectedly, I had to mobilize many warriors and risk being swallowed by the snowstorm to rescue you from the wilderness!"
The girl had long been accustomed to this kind of treatment and did not explain herself any more. However, before she had a chance to mention Chilang, Qinna had already given a loud order to reward the soldiers of Tiezhong Mountain:
"This time you all went east to kill the enemy and have accomplished great feats. Each of you will be rewarded with a hundred ewes, ten horses, and an ingot of pure gold!"
The heavy armored cavalry were also obviously loyal to the new master of the Buckwuqin family, and immediately knelt down to thank him. The centurion who led the expedition stood up, pointed to the cage dragged behind the team and asked:
"Please also ask Hehan to clarify what should be done with these captured Yimu prisoners?"
There was a faint hint of dissatisfaction on Qina's face: "Didn't I tell you to kill them all? These filthy people from the Yimu Department are not even worthy of being slaves. Just kill them quickly and make fertilizer for the grassland. What's more?
Do you need to ask me?"
Seeing that his master was angry, the centurion immediately pointed at the thin Tuya in the crowd: "The princess ordered her subordinates not to touch these Yimu dogs."
"So you just listened? How can she, a woman with half southern blood, have the right to give orders to the Tiechong Mountain of my Bakwuqin family!"
With each question and answer, Chinna, who was already grumpy, became even more angry, pointing at Tuya and scolding her loudly.
"As a Hehan, how can I be so partial! I despise my own sister more than I do several prisoners!"
Jiang Yan, who was standing next to Tuya, cursed secretly in his heart. He had already learned some Shuodi language on the way north. At this time, the other party spoke harshly, and he immediately became angry. However, the young man also understood,
He must not cause trouble easily, otherwise it will only bring more trouble to Tuya and Yuan Ti, so he had to work hard to suppress the anger in his heart.
However, Princess Shuodi did not show the slightest displeasure on her face. After her brother finished scolding her, she bowed again and raised her voice higher:
"Hehan, I really have something important to tell you when my sister comes back this time. Can you—"
The girl knew that Chilang's matter was of great importance, and she couldn't talk in front of so many people. She wanted to take a step to speak, but Qina didn't give her a chance to finish her sentence at all:
"What else is there to say! Do you know that by saving these Yimu dogs, you are helping the enemy? There is no chance for you, a southern bitch like you, to speak in our Muyun Department!"
This time Jiang Yan couldn't bear it any longer, so he shouted loudly under the banner of Bai Lu:
"Hehan, who is above ten thousand people, doesn't know when enough is enough! Tuya almost died at the hands of these cavalry you sent, but she still hasn't heard you say a word of apology!"
As soon as the young man spoke, the crowd around him immediately started to burst into uproar, as if they had no idea that Tie Zhongshan almost killed Tuya.
Qin Na also knew in his heart that Fu Han loved his sister very much during his lifetime, and several conservative ministers in the clan headed by Yuan Ti had been secretly helping her. At this time, he could not continue to embarrass the girl in front of him, so he turned to
And he poured all the anger in his heart on Jiang Yan, rushed over and gave him a hard slap in the face:
"Created out of nothing, full of nonsense! When I first heard that Du Lie was defeated by a southerner, I felt strange. Now that I look at it, it must be a trick like you, a cunning boy!"
The black-eyed boy spit out the blood that seeped out between his lips and teeth, but instead straightened his back, stood on the spot without fear, and glared fiercely at Hehan in front of him.
"It is said that people in the south are well-educated and sensible. Now that you have seen this king, why don't you kneel down quickly?"
Qina suddenly felt in her heart that if she couldn't subdue such a brat now, she would be unable to subdue everyone in the future. In anger, she actually stretched out her hand and pressed hard on the wound on Jiang Yan's shoulder that was wrapped in white cloth!
The heartbreaking pain made the young man's legs become weak and his eyes turned black. But he still held his breath and stood there without giving in. However, the other party did not intend to give up, and took off the riding crop from his waist again.
He slapped Jiang Yan hard on the face and ordered in a hoarse voice:
"He and the other captives from the Yimu tribe were all stripped naked and thrown into the snow to freeze to death! Next spring, they will be the best fertilizer on the grassland!"
After receiving the order, Tie Zhongshan immediately wanted to step forward to take the person. Unexpectedly, Tuya suddenly stepped in front of the black-eyed boy:
"Unless you really think that Father Han can't see everything that happens on the grassland in Changsheng Heaven, no one can even think of touching Jiang Yan again today!"
The girl's voice was clear, and these few words were even more categorical, and she actually pushed back Tie Zhongshan, who had already rushed forward.
"You put so much effort into speaking for a southerner, but you still have the nerve to mention Father Han in the Immortal Heaven?"
"Since Jiang Yan defeated Du Lie, he will be my fiancé according to the ancestral rules. If you still recognize my sister and I still admire Hehan, then return him to me and hold a wedding soon for me and my wife.
People get married!”
"Do you still think you are not embarrassed enough? I sent you to marry the princes and nobles of Ye Kingdom, and I didn't ask you to find a wild man to come back! Now, you actually dare to negotiate terms with me?!"
Qina's face became extremely ugly. But Tuya seemed to want to deliberately anger him. She gently supported Jiang Yan and kissed the young man's face hard:
"Who said he no longer has a title? You all should keep your eyes open and take a closer look. Standing here is Beizi, who was personally conferred by the leader of Ye State. He also has a certificate of credence and a seal as proof! Our Muyun Department has always been
A word must be followed and the result must be fulfilled. Tuya will not marry this person in this life, and I hope that the marriage will come true!"
"Qi and Yin are both dead, so the Beizi he canonized is still of no use?!"
The girl's words pushed Qinna into a dilemma. The young Hehan was furious, and when he saw Yuan Ti leading a group of conservative veterans also came forward, he was afraid that if he continued to say more, they would open his mouth and replace him.
The princess backed up.
He was also very clear in his heart that his position in the clan was not stable now, and he might need to rely more on the help of these veterans in the future. It was not convenient to break up with them, so he had to leave angrily. But before leaving, he still whispered
He said harsh words to Tuya:
"Repaying kindness with hatred! Don't think that I have nothing to do. Please don't ask me to catch you two in the future!"
Watching her brother leave in a hurry, the girl glanced at the trembling Yimu tribe members in the cage from a distance, and couldn't help but feel sad:
"Speaking of repaying kindness with hatred, this is the specialty of my Muyun Department..."
However, right now, there was not much time for her to think too much. With Yuan Ti's help, Tuya helped Jiang Yan return to a brand-new yurt that had just been built for the two of them. After bathing and changing clothes, he personally
He changed the young man's wound medicine.
The words that the Di Ren girl said before, and the warm feeling of her lips on his cheeks, were like a stone, arousing waves in Jiang Yan's heart. After nightfall, he was still lying on the couch alone, tossing and turning.
, it was early morning in the blink of an eye.
At this time, outside the tent, the blizzard that had been falling for several days finally stopped. The north wind passed by, and there were no clouds in the sky. Under the purple sky before sunrise, the Milky Way was as white as snow. You didn’t need to light a torch to make it.
You can have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery between heaven and earth.
The young man looked out from the gap in the curtain of the yurt and saw a white light as high as ten thousand feet standing on the horizon in the distance, as majestic as a pillar of heaven. The thousands of years of snow on the top of the mountain reflected the light appearing in the east.
That golden light suddenly reminded him of the eternal lights on the Jie Tower outside Mulu City.
This still made Yantou regain his interest, recalling those dream-like times in the past. In his mind, he clearly remembered the young man in white and the young man in white who climbed the Jie Pagoda with him in the middle of the night and laughed loudly at the sea.
The appearance of the red-haired girl - he was suddenly eager to know where the two companions were and what they were doing at the moment. He also wanted to ask the other party if they would miss him, who was already thousands of miles apart.
