When General Tsing Yi rode his horse to the Shuodi camp, he saw the shadow of a young man standing under the moon in the distance. In his hand, he was still holding the slender Mo Dao that shone with a black and golden cold light, and he was posing with a face.
The enemy's posture remained motionless, like a stone statue.
The boy's upper body armor had been torn to pieces in the fight, revealing his muscular back and broad shoulders. His whole body was covered with large and small stab wounds, as if he was an evil spirit emerging from a bloody battle from hell.
He was like a ghost. But even though he was seriously injured, he was not defeated by the Shuodi warriors' siege.
Du Lie's men fought with Jiang Yan for three sticks of incense before Princess Tuya was able to stop the revengeful warriors and finally saved the life of Jiang Yan, who was exhausted. However, Du Lie's body had long since been
It became cold and there was no possibility of resurrection. The black-eyed boy still refused to let go of his guard and did not accept the medical treatment provided by the other party. He just stubbornly stood on the spot with the sword drawn and let the blood gather at his feet.
into a river.
In a daze, the bruised Jiang Yan suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves behind him, and turned around with difficulty to take a look. His vision had long been blurred, but he still saw a cluster of red hair as bright as flames in the darkness.
"Yue'er...why...are you here?"
Seeing his companions, the last strength in the young man's body was completely exhausted. He could not stand steadily at all. The Mo Dao in his hand fell to the ground with a bang. He fell straight down like a felled tree.
On the ground, no longer unconscious.
Amidst Ning Yue's sad cries, Xiang Baili took her and Jiang Yan, who was seriously injured and unconscious, to leave the Di camp and rushed into the best medical center in the city.
Although Jiang Yan had hundreds of large and small wounds on his body, fortunately most of them failed to harm his vitals. But after all, there were too many wounds, the muscles under the torn skin were exposed, and the blood was like a fountain. There was no time to suture carefully. The doctor in the hall did not have time to suture.
Seeing this, he had no choice but to take an iron drill and burn it on the fire until it turned red, and then pressed it directly on the wound to stop the bleeding.
A sizzling sound immediately sounded in the medical center, and then a strange smell of burnt flesh wafted into the air. Ning Yue couldn't bear to watch any more, so she covered her mouth with nausea and ran away.
.
However, as soon as she opened the curtain hanging in front of the medical clinic, she saw a rather cramped young girl standing outside. She looked about the same age as herself, with a wheat-colored face with some baby fat and rosy lips.
The hair was glossy and silky, but the black eyes were dodging left and right, not daring to look at him.
The other party's forehead and nose were covered with fine beads of sweat. He also held a white jade lion horse in his hand. He stood naked on the stone road with his feet and only wore a thin white undershirt. Although his shoulders were wrapped
He wore a crimson cloak, but he was still shivering in the early spring night wind.
Ning Yue suddenly realized that the person standing in front of her was the barbarian princess she had seen during the day. However, she did not expect that she would dare to ride alone and follow Xiang Baili into the city. She immediately became furious and scolded her.
:
"What are you doing here?!" Then she took another step forward and pushed her hand hard towards him.
Princess Tuya immediately fell to the ground and was scratched by the bluestone on her palms and the tips of her elbows. Although she stared in horror, she did not immediately get up to run, but asked softly like a swift:
"That boy—how is it now?"
"How dare you come to ask how little Stutterer is doing! With so many people hitting him, how can it be better?" Ning Yue raised her hand angrily, and as she spoke, she wanted to hit him in the face. "I don't care what kind of princess you are, and I don't care if others are in awe of you. If I stutter today, he - he - I swear I will teach you to pay with blood!"
"I'm sorry, this happened all because of me. It would have been better if I hadn't agreed to let Du Lie escort me south..."
Princess Tuya's eyes were lowered, and two large drops of crystal tears actually fell from her eyes. Ning Yue was suddenly startled, but she gently took back her hand raised in the air. She didn't know that the girl in front of her was the same as that one. What was the relationship between the dead Shuodi warriors, but she could clearly read from the other party's sad expression that there was no winner in tonight's bloody life-and-death battle.
The red-haired girl couldn't help but regret the provocation she launched against Du Lie in the afternoon. She suddenly felt that perhaps it was because of her recklessness that the seemingly aloof and arrogant Shuodi man died tragically under the sword. If he had not made rash inferences before figuring out the whole story, Qi Ziyin might not have impulsively left Jia Yunzhai, and Jiang Yan might not have been so seriously injured!
It wasn't until a series of hurried footsteps sounded in the darkness that Ning Yue, who was stunned on the spot, came back to her senses. However, before she could see the appearance of the person clearly, she received a firm slap on the face:
"Xiao Nizi is so bold, she dares to be violent to our Gu Enji!"
The attacker was the princess's personal wife. She was thick-shouldered and round-waisted, with two blushes on her face that were unique to the prairie people. Normally, she would have been a kind-hearted and simple woman. However, when she saw the princess falling to the ground injured, I also lost my mind for a while.
"Grandma Wuren, stop it! It's none of this girl's business. I ran out barefoot and accidentally slipped."
Tuya immediately stretched out her hand and grabbed the hem of the other party's skirt, but she took all the responsibility on herself. The mother-in-law turned around and took the princess from the ground to sit on the stone door in front of the hospital, sat down, and took out the I brought the shoes, socks and fur cloak with me and patiently put them on one by one:
"My Gu Enji, next time you must not run around alone. These southerners just killed Du Lie, God knows if they will do anything offensive to you."
"Grandma, don't worry too much. I'm fine. These people are also good people. If they want to harm me, there's no need to wait until now." The princess stood up again, holding the other person's arm, and looked at Ning Yue with concern. Asked, "Does your face still hurt?"
"There's no need for you to pretend to be a good person!"
The red-haired girl was still furious and turned away angrily. The woman beside her wanted to say something, but when she saw the princess shaking her head at her, she had to hold back her words.
What followed was a long silence. Finally, Princess Di Ren spoke first, breaking the deathly silence:
"I'm sorry, grandma just did it to protect me. She is the nanny who has taken care of me since I was a child, so she naturally cares more about me."
"Gu Enji! What's the explanation for being from the same south! You are a princess, there is no need to apologize!"
"Grandma, you are wrong. It is human nature for this girl to be angry. After all, the warriors under my account did not follow the rules of the competition and injured the boy first. I will bear the consequences now. .”
"You don't have to speak for me!"
Ning Yue turned around and gave him a fierce look. But the Di girl opposite had only a hint of sadness in her eyebrows, and still did not show any sullenness. It was completely inconsistent with what she had heard about the Shuodi people's bravery and toughness. stereotype.
"You - you think I'm weird, right? Although my mother is the wife of my father, she is from the Yubei Kingdom. So, I actually have half southern blood..."
For some reason, Princess Tuya actually took the initiative to talk to Ning Yue about her life experience. No matter how much Wu Ren tried to dissuade her, she just kept talking. When she spoke, she kept her eyes lowered and could only see her long face. The long eyelashes trembled slightly:
"My mother was deeply loved by my father, so even though she was living in the grasslands, she always insisted on teaching me the etiquette and poetry of the southern countries. No one in the family dared to say a word. But perhaps it is for this reason that I I will be the only candidate to go south to get married this time. Even if I have already made a marriage contract with a young warrior from the same clan, even if that person is Du Lie..."
Only then did Ning Yue finally understand why the Shuodi warrior named Dulie would get angry whenever he mentioned the princess' marriage. She couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for the Di girl in front of her, and the anger in her heart was also caused by this. Most of it disappeared, and then he followed the other person's words and asked:
"Since you are already engaged, how could your father be so cruel to send you south? And why didn't your mother step in to stop it?"
"Fuhan failed to survive last year's winter and has gone to the eternal heaven blessed by the gods. And Eda, my blood-related brother, succeeded to the throne and became the new Hehan. Xinhan once served as In the presence of the elders of the clan, I made a solemn oath in front of my father Han's spirit to restore the Muyun tribe. Therefore, the first order he issued after he succeeded to the throne was to order me to go south and get married."
Speaking of this, Tuya paused involuntarily: "As for my mother - Shuobei is suffering from the cold and it is not easy to survive. The Shuodi people have never raised an idle person in the tribe. Qina was not born to her mother, so naturally She couldn't help her speak. And her mother could neither do heavy work nor marry other men in the clan to have children, so after Erda succeeded to the throne, she was sent to Lanzhou together with her father's body. He was buried in Cangshan Mountain..."
"How could this be possible..." The red-haired girl's eyes widened, unable to imagine what a dark and helpless time the girl opposite had experienced.
"Eda has always cared about the opinions of his tribe, and he cannot tolerate criticism from others. Now he is shouldering the mission of revitalizing the entire Muyun tribe. And as an impure person who has brought shame to the Bakwuqin family, Eda Blood, the only reason why he is still alive in the world at this moment is that he is not yet married and has children. He can be used as a bargaining chip in exchange for interests, using his own body to give Muyunbu a chance to make a comeback..."
Princess Di Ren still explained unhurriedly. When she talked about these things, her tone did not show too much bitterness and helplessness, as if she was telling someone else's story. There was a strong relationship between the two girls. The intense hostility seemed to subside unknowingly as the conversation progressed.
"So...are you just accepting your fate like this? Why are the children of concubines always unable to escape the fate of being chess pieces..."
Ning Yue suddenly felt depressed. She suddenly thought of Qi Ziyin again, and desperately wanted to say some words of comfort as if she felt the same. But before she could speak, the other party seemed to have seen through her thoughts and gently shook her head. head:
"Girl, you don't have to worry about a barbarian like me. Tonight I will order the camp to break up and leave Mulu City. Let's just pretend this farce never happened."
"But Gu Enji, the fact that you went south to get married this time has been known to the whole world for a long time. If you go back like this, Xinhan will never let you go easily! Maybe you will be sentenced to death for humiliating the family's face. !”
When Grandma Wuren heard that her master wanted to give up, she immediately changed her face and tried to persuade her. However, Princess Tuya did not respond. Instead, she held up the snow-white jade lion and turned towards the distance. That's it.
"I don't know your name yet."
When Princess Di Ren passed by her, Ning Yue suddenly heard the other party asking in a low voice. She was stunned for a moment and stood there blankly, watching the delicate figure go away, and then she shouted to her. shouted:
"My name is Ning Yue! Wait a minute, I have something else to ask!"
But Tuya never looked back. Surrounded by a group of warriors and followers, she completely disappeared into the dark night.
