[4200-word chapter] Chapter 145 Princess Yicheng also likes to enter the tent in the middle of the n
The return of the dancing horse to the cemetery means that there is only one way left for him - to agree to marry Qingxia.
In the second half of the funeral, Khan asked the shaman to dance and recite a mantra, and calculated the auspicious day for Wu Ma and Qingxia to get married, and set it in seven days. The Turks are really particular about the number seven.
Because it was a gift to his newly promoted father-in-law, Shibi Khan agreed to make an alliance with Li Yuan. The conditions were what Li Yuan had previously stated in his letter: Li Yuan would fight all the way south, and all the money and treasures would return to Shibi Khan, and the territory would belong to Li Yuan.
.
In this way, even if Wu Ma has lived up to his mission, as for how humiliating the so-called covenant is and how negative the impact will be if it spreads, it is not within the scope of Wu Ma's consideration. After all, this is the covenant between Li Yuan and Shibi Khan in history.
.Of course, there must be a confidentiality agreement.
After setting the wedding date, Shibi Khan called Dancing Horse aside and solemnly said: "You have to thank Tengger, thank Solchuk, thank my daughter, thank you for being chased by hunting dogs.
If you lose it at any point, you will become minced meat in the wolf's belly."
"hound?"
"Don't tell me, my temperament is quite similar to yours."
Wu Ma thought, at least it was certain that Qingxia really saved Shi Bi's life.
Regarding this funeral, the dancing horse always feels a little trance-like, which is very unreal. There are two things that impressed me deeply - the first one is that Princess Yicheng is really beautiful. When she got closer and looked at it, she was particularly impressed.
pretty.
There is always a burning and restrained aura in her eyes, like a beautiful monster in a cage.
But Wu Ma is also very sure that very few people will have the same feeling as him. When most men see Princess Yicheng, they will only think of the cage and the best things that the kings will snatch away as inheritance.
A woman cannot see the monster trapped inside, nor can she see the dangerous look in the monster's eyes. As for the vast majority of women, they will only cast jealous glances at her.
When Wu Ma realizes this and his unique insight and sensitivity, he can be sure that he seems to have some confidence in countering Princess Yicheng's appearance without affecting Qingxia's revenge plan.
Dancing Horse does not need to thank Tengger. What he wants to thank is himself, who has experienced the end of the world and experienced the whipping of vicious women in the end of the world.
The second deep impression was the conversation between him and Sunong Dalai. After Shibi Khan announced that Wu Ma and Qingxia were going to get married, Sunong Dalai was madly trying to rush up and grab Shibi Khan's throat.
.
Of course, he didn't succeed. The strong and powerful soldiers picked him up like a chicken. They waved his arms, legs and feet vigorously, but they tied him up.
The Turkic ministers proposed to put him in prison and teach him a lesson, but at the beginning Khan said: "For the sake of his grandfather who just passed away, let him go. Sunong Yunyan is so heroic, why are his descendants so useless?"
"After saying this, the faces of all the Turks wearing mourning clothes turned dark.
It was just a funeral. Sunong Dalai found the dancing horse and pulled his collar to the limit. "Have you forgotten your oath? You Han people talk like farts?"
"My oath?"
"Yes, it's the oath you swore to heaven when I came to see you last time."
"Oh... I'm a little impressed..." This kind of words was all because he disliked Sunung Dalai because he had so many things, and was used to fool him. Of course, Wu Ma never thought that one day he might actually have to fight with Qing
Xia is getting married. Well, there are still seven days left, and there is still a turning point, so it won't really come to the point of getting married.
Wu Ma thought for a while and replied: "Your Excellency, you still remember what I said in the oath I made that day."
"certainly."
"My memory is not very good. Please tell me and don't miss a word."
"You dishonest Han people, listen, what you said that day is - I, Wu Ma, swear to God, I have no personal feelings for Ashinayan, and I don't have any love between men and women... Even if
Even if the sky falls, I will not be with her!
Why, you haven’t remembered it yet? I brought over the phonograph stone that recorded this sentence that day. Do you want to listen to it again with you?"
Wu Ma said: "I remember you said at that time that you wanted to show this stone to Ashinayan. Did she listen?"
Sunung Dalai's throat moved, and he replied after a while: "Can you take care of it?"
Looking at his appearance, Wu Ma guessed that it was most likely that Qingxia had heard of it, but Qingxia still chose to pull herself out to block the gun, which is enough to prove how unhappy Sunong Dalai was with Qingxia.
See you soon.
"We won't talk about anything else today," said Sunong Dalai, "but let's talk about how you dare to break your oath to heaven. How can the Khan trust you? If the special envoy is like this, what can your master Tang Gong do? I'm afraid that
The man surnamed Li is also a treacherous villain. He does not guard against being double-dealing in the future and plots against the Khan secretly. Why should I, the Turk, cooperate with you? I will report it to the Khan..."
"Then let the sky fall." Wu Ma said.
"Um?"
"I made a promise: Even if the sky falls, I will not be with Ashinayan - then, let the sky fall."
Sunung Dalai was stunned.
In the end, he probably had no choice but to go to Shibi Khan to seek justice. Unfortunately, no one dared to put him into the Khan's tent because of his sudden behavior. He was disappointed.
He turned around to see Qingxia again, but he didn't see her either.
Later, Wu Ma heard from Qingxia that Sunong Dalai said outside her tent: "Ayan, I know why you want to marry Wu Ma - it's not that you don't want to marry me, but you just can't marry into my family.
.But have you ever thought about how unfair this is to me? As for my birth, how could I choose?
I know what you are worried about. Don’t worry, I can do what a dancing horse can do. But don’t forget, when I was a kid, I was the number one person on the racecourse. Please give me a moment.
Be patient, and soon, maybe tonight, I will prove it to you."
Listening to Sunung Dalai's tone, it seemed that he was about to do something earth-shattering. After hearing this, even the dancing horse felt a little numb.
…
At night, Wu Ma lay in a quilt that smelled of cheese. Thinking back on what happened today, he always felt that everything was a trap designed by Qingxia, forcing him to fall into it. But, okay, he was just about to fall into it.
He wanted to see what was hidden in the sheath, whether it was a knife or poison. He wanted to have a good look.
The tent suddenly became dark for a moment. Perhaps there was no darkness at all, just the illusion of the dancing horse. Or, in other words, it was his perception of the atmosphere in the tent. It seemed that just in the moment that passed, his tent was different from before.
Are not the same.
He quickly became alert, straightened up slowly, and said in a calm voice that he had not expected: "Since Her Royal Highness Princess Yicheng is here, why not show up to see her. After all... we are all Han people."
After saying that, a dark light flashed on the top of the tent, and a graceful figure fell down from above, "How did you know it was me?"
"Oh, I'm just talking nonsense, I just gave it a try."
To be honest, the dancing horse was basically covered. It's just that the atmosphere in the tent was really weird, and from this weird atmosphere, he smelled a little bit of the hot and restrained atmosphere he noticed during the funeral. However, the funeral
At that time, restraint was stronger than the scorching heat, but at this moment, the scorching heat began to backfire on the restraint.
"You are funny and smart."
Princess Yicheng was wearing a black night gown, with a piece of black cloth covering her face. Wu Ma could not clearly see the expression on her face, but it was obvious that the other party was not irritated by his obviously joking answer, and she got straight to the point.
: "Wuma, you should know the purpose of my visit."
"Logically speaking, you should be planning to kill me without anyone noticing - this is the lowest cost."
"Why didn't I take action?"
"I probably made some rational considerations. Judging from my performance just now, you feel that I am not easy to deal with. Especially in this narrow tent, it is difficult to kill in a short time. Or, you can kill me.
Drop me, but the movement will not be too small, and it is likely to attract onlookers - murdering Tang Gong's special envoy is a serious crime, and although you are favored, I am afraid you still don't want to bear this crime."
Hearing this, Princess Yicheng chuckled and took off her mask, revealing her face.
At this moment, a bright moon rose in this narrow and dark tent, and Princess Yicheng's smile was the moonlight shed by the moon.
As for Wu Ma, a moment ago he thought he had the upper hand both verbally and psychologically, but at this moment, just because of a small piece of black cloth (about the same size as the piece of black cloth that covered his lower body in the secret room)
) retreated, and I felt like I was completely suppressed by the opponent's momentum.
Moreover, he also clearly felt that the slender and seemingly weak woman in front of him actually contained a very terrifying aura in her small body. Qingxia was right, Princess Yicheng should indeed be an awakened disciple.
Maybe, he is also a martial arts master.
"Wu Langjun," Princess Yicheng said with a smile: "You and I have no grievances, so why should I kill you?"
"Isn't the answer very clear? I just made an engagement with Ashinayan, and you will come tonight."
"Ashinayan told you a lot about me and her."
Dancing Horse nodded.
"You believe it?"
“Authentic and trustworthy.”
"It doesn't matter," Princess Yicheng shook her head, "Actually, I don't care about her at all. I came to you today with only one thing - please give up the peace talks and leave the grassland."
"But...the peace talks have been concluded and the covenant has been established."
"The news has not been sent back to Jinyang, everything is just a cloud. Even if it is sent back to Jinyang, it may not be certain. I know the temper of the Turks, and I also know what kind of person Shibi Khan is. Even if an alliance is made, it will be broken again.
What can be done?”
Princess Yicheng was probably right about this point. Wu Ma still remembered the Weishui Alliance a few years later. The Turks tore up the alliance and rushed to the Weishui River, approaching Chang'an City, forcing Li Shimin to sign the Weishui Alliance. No wonder.
Li Shimin's evaluation of the Turks is: "When you see a benefit, you move forward; when you see a difficulty, you leave; winning is seeking wealth, losing is not ashamed".
However, at this moment, things are not as simple as Princess Yicheng said. Otherwise, why would she bother to look for the dancing horse in the middle of the night?
The Turks can break the contract, but they must think carefully and be motivated by enough interests. Shibi Khan's plan is not only Jinyang, nor the northern frontier of the Sui Dynasty, he wants to win over more heroic warlords
, if the reputation of breaking the contract without authorization spreads, no one will dare to come to invest in the future.
After thinking about this clearly, Wu Ma smiled and said: "In that case, the princess should go to the Khan instead of breaking into a Han man's tent in the middle of the night."
Princess Yicheng said: "Wuma, I don't have time to talk in circles with you. I only want one result - either you leave the Turks and disappear from the eyes of the world. Or, you completely disappear from this world."
"As long as I do this, can I ruin the peace talks between Turks and Tang Gong?"
"You don't have to worry about this."
"Just curious," Wu Ma said with a smile, "By the way, I have always had a doubt..."
This doubt is by no means an excuse to delay the time or change the subject. It is a real doubt from his heart. It is a question that he has never been able to understand when he studied the history of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It is incredible to say that today he actually
It’s time to have a direct conversation with the protagonist of this question and get the answer:
"Your Highness Princess, I have never understood. In fact, you are not the daughter of the current Saint King, nor the real princess of the Sui Dynasty. You are just a clan girl, but why are you so loyal to the Saint King and the Sui Dynasty, and even -
—”
"Even," Princess Yicheng said: "You risked your life to falsely convey the news of the war to Khan Shibi, and tricked him into returning to the Khan Court from Yanmen Pass, so that he would let the Holy Lord go?"
"Exactly." This question is probably an unsolvable riddle in history. Wu Ma has read a lot of official history, unofficial history, historical analysis, and biographies of characters. Everyone only said that Princess Yicheng was loyal to the Sui Dynasty, but no one knew
I don't understand where this loyalty comes from.
After hearing this, Princess Yicheng looked up at the top of the tent. She was silent for a long time, with a little tenderness in her eyes.
Suddenly, her eyes were sharp, all her tenderness disappeared, and all her previous restraint was gone, leaving only a scorching hot and cruel fire, "Wuma, I'll give you seven days to think about it - between you and
Before Ashinayan gets married, you can choose to leave. But if you two really go that far, I will personally send you to Quele."
After saying that, a black light flashed in the tent, and the person disappeared.
After she left, Wu Ma continued to think about what had happened in the past few days, but for some reason, she became unusually sleepy.
This was a situation that had never happened before in the world outside of God's will since time travel. He tried hard to stay awake, but still fell into a daze that seemed to be half awake. Soon, he actually had a dream, and the dream was full of meaning.
As a princess, he dreamed that she touched his bed in the middle of the night, took off his clothes with a smile, peeked under, and asked him if he was a honey trap, but the dream stopped abruptly here.
Then I had several more dreams, the protagonists were all Princess Yicheng, and the plot of the dreams was roughly the same, but the place and pattern were changed, sometimes on the grassland, sometimes in the desert, sometimes in the dense forest...
Occasionally, next to Shibi Khan's bed, Shibi Khan's snoring could be heard. Princess Yicheng became bolder and asked him if it was exciting and if he wanted to have a more violent one. However, these are powerful.
Dreams always stop at the critical moment, and none of them are complete.
When I woke up the next morning, the dancing horse was really stiff and I was thinking about how to relieve it.
The translator stumbled in and said, "Su, Sunong Dalai committed suicide!"
