Chapter 2 Wu Gou (second blow) For a time, both of them lost interest in talking. They just sat on the ground dully, drinking bowls of wine. They were no longer the teenagers who fled outside the Great Wall many years ago.
Wearing a thick bearskin robe, she was wearing the regular uniform of a fourth-grade military general, but they were still as powerless as they were many years ago about their own country, watching her rotten like a ripe peach bit by bit. In addition to heartache, they thought
There is no way to rejuvenate it
Drinking these boring drinks is simply a kind of torture. The more you drink, the deeper the depression in your heart becomes. "Alas!" After a long while, Pan Zhanyang sighed longly and spoke again, "I'm here to see you this time..."
"The benefits outside the Great Wall are to be stored in your tribe for now and maybe one day I will pick them up in person!" Li Xu waved his hand and interrupted the other party's words. The war was in chaos, and he could not guarantee that he could still spare the energy to protect those things outside his body. Yi County
There is no shortage of food and clothing there, and there are also Erya and housekeepers in Licheng to take care of it. Instead of transporting a large amount of wealth back to the center to attract the prying eyes of rogue bandits, it is better to temporarily store it outside the Great Wall, where at least it can guarantee a moment of peace.
"I also think it's better to put it on the edge of the feather first, but the princess insisted on asking me to find you and explain it to you." Pan Zhanyang was a little drunk and accidentally spilled half a bowl of wine on the leather robe. He looked at the rolling wine with regret.
He filled himself up with wine, and complained in a voice that was almost muttering, "She has been thinking about your kindness, so if I don't find you, I'm not allowed to go back to take orders! You wouldn't have admitted her into your room back then, right?"
Now, you are her master, no one can say anything if you do these things!"
"Don't talk nonsense, be careful because your khan cut out your tongue. I didn't have time to escape, so I couldn't even think about finding a woman!" Xuzi was so angry that he threw down the wine bowl and drank.
In terms of his fondness for talking nonsense, Pan Zhanyang has not changed at all and is even bolder now. He even dares to guess the privacy of his own princess.
"The customs of each tribe are different. The Khitan people don't pay much attention to what happened before getting married. Even after getting married, it is not uncommon for someone to snatch their wife and even the child in her belly. They believe that fighting is a man's business.
A man cannot protect his woman, and the responsibility cannot be shouldered by a woman!" Pan Zhanyang curled his lips and answered.
"Then don't hurt anyone's reputation by talking nonsense. After all, she is a princess now, and she can easily be jealous of others."
"Jealous, others have to be jealous!" Pan Zhanyang rolled his eyes and retorted, "If you only have the relationship of master and servant, why does she keep thinking about you? In fact, except for being stubborn, you have no other benefits at all!"
"Everyone has persistence, and you may not be an exception!" Xu Zi was so angry that Pan Zhanyang couldn't help but laugh bitterly. He answered loudly. The feeling of someone caring about him made him feel very comfortable, but in addition to being comfortable, it also brought back the memories in his memory.
Many past events "Did you hear anything else on the grassland? For example, things like the Turks and the Suchu tribe?"
He was looking forward to a detailed message, but Pan Zhanyang obviously didn't understand what he wanted to ask, so he simply picked out the most critical information he knew and provided "The current Khan is the son of Qimin Khan, named Duji.
It is said that the Shibi Khan was very magnanimous, and almost the entire grassland was prostrate under his orders. He had long been suspicious of him during the Sui Dynasty. However, in recent years, there had been heavy snowfall, and the Turkic headquarters had insufficient supplies of food, grass, and war horses.
, so the war is delayed again and again!"
"Alas!" Xuzi sighed in frustration again, feeling even more disappointed that the information was of no use to him. If he forcibly wrote a memorial, it would only serve as an excuse for colluding with foreigners, and would not have any effect in reminding the court to take precautions. "But
Where is Yu, is he still alive? Didn't he go crazy looking for you on the grassland later?"
"Queyu, this old guy, is so clever that he is misled by his cleverness. He originally wanted to take advantage of the beginning of the Khan's establishment and the instability of the Khan's position to make some meritorious deeds in order to successfully seize the throne. Who would have expected that hundreds of thousands of stones and grains would be lost to me while I waited?
After the fire was completely burned, he couldn't keep his face, so he made excuses saying that you had colluded with many horse thieves at that time, and even broke through his pursuit and interception several times. But the more he said this, the more he showed his lack of strength. As a result, in the second year of my arrival in Khitan,
I heard that he lost his power and now he is just a Burke, following around Shibi Khan and listening to his orders!"
"I'm afraid he is telling the truth!" Xuzi raised the wine bowl and smiled bitterly, "It is true that many people broke through his blockade with me, but those people were not colluded with me. In fact, we were not the only ones who set fire that night.
three people!"
Those who participated in the arson back then were Liu Hongji, Zhang Liang, Niu Jinda, and Wu Heita. Now, except Liu Hongji, everyone else stood on his opposite side. In the afternoon of that day, everyone was preparing for a life-and-death showdown in front of the formation. With these words, Xu Zi was very surprised.
I want to talk to someone, but Pan Zhanyang is obviously not a suitable candidate.
"It seems that this person can't tell the truth anywhere!" Hearing Xu Zi say that there were indeed others who set fire that night, Pan Zhanyang was stunned for a moment, and then quickly concluded, "Let me tell you, how could the three of us set off such a big fire?"
It turns out that there were people secretly helping to set the fire, but it doesn't matter. The purpose of Khan was to find fault and annex his tribe. So whether the fire was set by three people or three hundred people, it is actually the same. Even if there was no fire at the time,
It is estimated that Shibi Khan can also grasp Queyu's other shortcomings and want to deal with him anyway. If he is wrong, it is just an excuse!"
"Queyu's tribe was annexed by Shibi!" Xuzi's hand shook and he poured half a bowl of wine on himself. Regardless of his embarrassing appearance, he wiped it with his sleeve and asked in a trembling voice, "Then, then
Where is Gutuolu, the nephew of Qimin Khan, the one who has a close relationship with Queyu?"
"You are talking about Ashina Gutuolu. He is so proud now. Queyu was forced to hand over power. All the original territory belongs to Gutuolu. He is now known as Gutuolu Khan, and his status is only lower than that of Shibihan."
My younger brother Du Bi is almost his Ke Dun. It is said that he comes from the Su Chuan tribe and is a close friend of our princess. Every summer he comes to live in the tribe for a few days. With her support, our princess’s status in the Yu Ling tribe is unbreakable.
Several women sent from other departments were so jealous that their eyes were green, but they couldn't get enough of her to spoil her!" Pan Zhanyang shook his head, feeling proud, and didn't even notice that Xu Zi's eyes suddenly turned from bright to dim.
"That's it!" Li Xu smiled and said lightly that all his youthful dreams were over. Tao Kuo took off his silk and married Gu Tuolu, thereby winning wealth and peace for his tribe and Ayun. There was nothing wrong with her choice back then.
What she wants is the eagle on the grassland that she cannot give. Only by competing with the eagle on the grassland can she be happy.
A trickle of water flowed in Xuzi's heart. He knew that he was a little drunk, but he still hoped that he could be more drunk. Over the years, the figure of the little girl who regarded "the dewy couple" as a poetic image has been lingering in his heart.
Dancing, every time I think of it, I feel a deep sense of drunkenness
"I've also seen your wolf, his name is Gan Luo, right?" Pan Zhanyang asked, seeing Xu Zi getting drunk in a blink of an eye, leaning over with the wine bowl in his hand, and touching it with the wine bowl in his hand.
"It's called Ganluo. Is he happy now?" Xuzi drained the wine in the bowl and showed the other party a pottery bottom neatly.
"It's not a human, how can I tell if it's happy or not!" Pan Zhanyang also drank a bowl of wine and laughed loudly, "Otherwise I'd say you're stupid for actually caring about a wolf's mood, but don't worry.
, its status is very high now, and wherever it goes, it is treated like a god. If ordinary people offend it and don't use its power, they will be beaten to death by the tribesmen!"
"Then what's the color of her coat? Is it silvery? Besides your princess, who else can get close to her?" Xuzi stopped touching the bowl with the guests and began to taste it slowly alone like a stingy drunkard.
, carefully tasting every drop of flavor in the bowl
Tao Kuo Tuosi must have Gan Luo by her side, and her status will be very high. This was the only thing I could do for her back then. It is indeed gratifying and gratifying to get the results I have today.
In the reflection, Li Xu saw his curly beard, "I'm afraid Gan Luo won't recognize me now when he sees me!" He grinned, asking and answering himself, "Probably not, it should remember
My taste!”
"You smell like blood now! It's nothing like before!" Pan Zhanyang hit him at an inappropriate time, then added with a smile, "But I'm not much better, my whole body smells like mutton."
"Really?" Xuzi lowered his head and sniffed his chest. He only smelled the strong aroma of wine, and could not distinguish other smells at all.
"Stop smelling it. You kill people every day and you are used to it. Just like when I see you frowning, I know you think I have a strong smell, but I can't smell anything!"
"We are no longer what we were before!" Xuzi thought for a while and slowly concluded
"Of course we are no longer what we were back then, hiding everywhere for fear of being caught by the government to fill ditches!" Pan Zhanyang echoed loudly, but the meaning he expressed was completely different from Xu Zi. He did not leave anything behind.
It's a pity, so I enjoy today's life more. "But Ganluo may not forget you. This thing is extremely spiritual. In the entire grassland, except for my princess and Ke Dun of Gutuolu, no one else can get close to it." He struggled with his hands in the air.
He gestured as if he was introducing a grassland boy, "So tall, like a pony. The hair is still silver and shiny, without any adulteration."
"Run like a bolt of lightning!" Asahi chuckled and concluded.
"Yes, it's like a bolt of lightning! You describe it so aptly!"
‘Actually, it’s more like a shooting star!’ Xuzi smiled and thought to herself.
On the grassland back then, there were shooting stars like rain
Drunkard's note: Good night, midnight. I've been watching Westerners perform their fraternity these past few days, and I suddenly thought of the story of the wolf and the lamb. No matter what the truth is, all it needs is an excuse to seek fairness, unless the lamb
