第111章 No.14幕 笼鸟池鱼 四

The blizzard has been going on for several days, but there is still no sign of stopping.Under the darkness of night, the Tie Chongshan who marched in a column on the snow field also took off their helmets one after another, and covered their mouths and noses with thick linen cloth.After all, in such bitter cold, even if you accidentally touch the iron helmet's face shield while speaking, your tongue or lips will be firmly stuck in an instant, and a layer of skin will be torn off if it is light, or it may even be crippled if it is severe. .

On the horseback, Tuya wrapped the sheepskin blanket around her body a little more tightly, but this move could not resist the bone-piercing cold on the Shuobei tundra.She looked back at the cage full of prisoners that was still exposed to the wind and snow and was dragged forward by two old horses.Half of the Yimu people in the cage had been frozen to death, and the other half had long since ignored the corpses lying at their feet.Every time there is a new death, they will scramble for the clothes, shoes and hats of the dead like wild beasts.

Tuya couldn't bear to watch this cruel scene any longer, and buried her head deeper in the blanket.She clearly knew that the only person she could save with her own strength was Jiang Yan who was sitting on the other horse beside her.

Finally, sporadic fires appeared on the distant horizon.Then a group of sturdy cavalry passed through the snow and fog, and greeted the already exhausted Tie Chongshan. It turned out that they had already reached the border of Yanluoyuan.

From a distance, Tuya saw that what the visitor held high in the wind and snow was a white deer flag representing the conservative forces in the clan.The leader of the team was wearing a white iron armor, and he looked out of place among a group of fur-clad prairie cavalry. He was Yuan Ti who had been separated from him in the dense forest a few days ago.

When the other party saw the princess, he immediately couldn't hold back the old tears in his eyes, and jumped off the horse to greet her quickly.Tuya also hugged his neck affectionately and comforted him softly:
"Old general, don't be sad, look at me, I'm fine!"

As long as he can remember, Yuan Ti has been following this hard-working mother and daughter like a shadow.In the girl's heart, he has already replaced the role of grandfather, becoming one of the few people in the world who she can get close to without defense.

Yuan Ti shook his head and knelt down on one knee in front of the princess with difficulty.Seeing this, nearly a thousand cavalrymen behind him also knelt down on the snow field, which was in stark contrast to Tie Chongshan's rude attitude before.Immediately, Tuya's heart was filled with emotion, and she reached out to help her, but suddenly found that the fabric around her waist had been stained red by the oozing blood.

"Where did the old general get hurt? Did Erda punish you?" Princess Di Ren even guessed the reason, and asked distressedly.

"It's just a little flesh wound, it's not a problem. As long as you return safely, the princess, the old minister won't feel the pain."

Yuan Ti just shook his head, trying hard to force a smile on his face.The soldier holding the flag beside him couldn't help but interjected: "Because he lost the princess, Hehan gave the old general five hundred lashes in a fit of anger. Right now, his back is torn and fleshy, and there is no intact place." Already!"

When Tuya heard this, her nose turned sour and two lines of tears shed, but her teeth were clenched tightly: "What's the reason for this! It was clearly Tie Chongshan sent by Erda who drove the two of us into the wild without any explanation. If you want to punish, you should punish yourself, what kind of prestige is it to vent your anger on others!"

"Princess, you must never say this again! If it reaches Xinhan's ears, your future life will be even more difficult."

Yuan Ti stands up again with the support of the girl, and hastily persuades her not to lose her words because of herself.Tuya still snorted heavily in her nose:
"No matter how difficult it is, how can it be so difficult? When Eda decided to send me to Ye Kingdom as a gift, did he ever think about me being his younger sister? If he hadn't been partial to his favor, how could these iron mountains be like that?" So rude, you don't even believe what I say?"

Yuan Ti also knew that what the girl said was correct.Because even though there was such a big misunderstanding this time, and even almost killed the princess, Chinnaghhan did not order those Iron Mountains to be punished, but just reprimanded them lightly.

However, the old man did not intend to, and absolutely could not, tell the girl opposite these desperate things.He just sighed, and took all the responsibility on himself as before:

"No matter what, the old officials shouldn't have led the crowd to leave the camp that night. If some old officials stayed with the princess, you wouldn't have encountered so many troubles these days."

When Tuya heard him say this, half of the resentment in her heart disappeared immediately, and she continued to ask with red eyes:

"Why did the old general excuse Erda like this. But then again, what happened to you that night? Why didn't you come back?"

Yuan Ti continued to explain: "That night, it was the first time for the old minister to see Tie Chongshan in a place other than Yanluoyuan. However, the other party received the order to shoot or kill, so we started fighting without any explanation. We were tired of fighting, fighting I lost my way when I hit it. Fortunately, the old minister always carried the token given by Hehan on his body, which finally persuaded the red-eyed warriors to stop. After re-recognizing the way back to the camp, he finally turned back At that time, the princess was no longer found."

"So, it was because of the old general that Tie Chongshan later believed that I was the princess of the Muyun Department?"

"The old minister searched hard all night but couldn't find it in the wild snowfield, so he had to lead all the horses back to Yanluoyuan to plead guilty, and persuaded Hehan to send an order to Tie Chongshan, be sure to pay attention to the person who claims to be the princess. Fortunately, Mo Ya delivered the letter in time , these little bastards didn't hurt the princess' golden body. If something really happened to you, even if the old minister apologizes with death, he won't be able to face Mrs. Kezun in the sky."

The two continued to exchange some pleasantries, and Tuya and her party finally marched slowly towards the hinterland of Yanluoyuan surrounded by the white deer banner.

It wasn't until he heard that Yuan Ti had escorted his younger sister to the tent, that Qin Nagahan led the leaders of the big and small clans to welcome him in a procession.The young Hehan was wearing a dark fur robe embroidered with gold thread and trimmed with fox fur, and a belt made of the white tail of a snow leopard was tied around his waist, making him stand out from the crowd.

However, the first time he saw Tuya, he said coldly:
"I thought that your return this time would bring some surprises for the king. I didn't expect that I would need to mobilize many warriors to rescue you from the wilderness at the risk of being engulfed by the snowstorm!"

The girl has long been used to this kind of treatment, and did not explain further to herself.However, before she had a chance to mention the galloping wolf, Qin Na gave a loud order to reward the soldiers of the Iron Mountain:
"This time you went east to kill the enemy and made a great contribution. 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 owner of the Bakwuqin family, and immediately knelt down to thank him.After the centurion leading the team got up, he pointed to the cage dragged behind the team and asked:
"I would also like to ask Kahan to clarify how to deal with the captured Yimubu prisoners?"

There was a hint of displeasure on Qin Na's face: "Didn't you ask you to kill them all? These filthy things from Yimubu are not worthy of being slaves, so kill them quickly and use them as fertilizer for the grassland. Do you need to ask me!"

Seeing that the master was angry, the centurion immediately pointed to the thin Tuya in the crowd: "It was the princess who ordered the subordinates not to do anything to these Yimu dogs."

"So you listened? She is a woman with half of the blood of the southerners. What right does she have to give orders to Tie Chongshan of my Bakwuqin family!"

After asking and answering, the already grumpy Qinna became even more angry, pointing at Tuya and yelling at him.

"As Hehan, how could he be so eccentric! He despises his own sister even more than a few prisoners!"

Standing beside Tuya, Jiang Yan secretly cursed in his heart.On the way northward, he had already learned some Shodi language, but at this time the other party spoke it harshly, and he immediately lost his temper.However, the young man also understood that he must not cause trouble easily, otherwise it would only bring more troubles to Tuya and Yuan Ti, so he had to try his best to suppress the anger in his heart.

However, Princess Sodi did not show the slightest displeasure because of this.After the elder brother had finished reprimanding him, he saluted again, and then raised his voice a little higher:

"Hehan, my sister returned this time, and I really have something important to tell you, can you—"

The girl knew that the matter of galloping the wolf was very important, and she couldn't talk in front of so many people. She wanted to take a step to speak, but Qin Na didn't give her a chance to finish her sentence:
"What else is there to say! Do you know that you have helped the enemy by rescuing these Yimu dogs? I don't have a chance for you, a lowly southerner, to speak in my Muyun Department!"

This time, Jiang Yan couldn't take it anymore, he stood under the banner of Bailu and drank loudly:

"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 I haven't heard you say sorry yet!"

As soon as the young man spoke, Dang even caused an uproar from the surrounding crowd, as if they didn't know that Tie Chongshan almost killed Tuya.

Qin Na also knew in his heart that his father loved his younger sister very much during his lifetime, and several important conservative ministers in the clan, headed by Yuan Ti, had been secretly helping her.At this time, he couldn't continue to embarrass the girl in front of him, so he poured all the anger in his heart on Jiang Yan, rushed over and slapped him hard:

"Create something out of nothing, full of nonsense! When I first heard that Du Lie was defeated by a southerner, I was surprised. Looking at it now, it must be some trick you, a cunning boy!"

The black-eyed boy spat out the blood oozing from between his lips and teeth, but instead he straightened his waist, stood on the spot without fear, and stared fiercely at Hehan in front of him.

"It's said that people from the south are well-educated and reasonable. Now that you see me, why don't you kneel down quickly!"

Qin Na suddenly felt that if he couldn't subdue such a little devil now, he would not be able to subdue everyone in the future.In a fit of rage, he stretched out his hand and pressed hard on the wound on Jiang Yan's shoulder that was wrapped in white cloth!

The excruciating pain made the boy's legs go weak and his eyes turn black.But he still held his breath and stood firmly on the spot without giving in.However, the other party didn't intend to stop there, and took off the horsewhip around his waist and lashed Jiang Yan's face fiercely, shouting hoarsely:

"Take off all his clothes, as well as the prisoners of Yakibu, and throw them in the snow to freeze to death! Next spring, they will be the best fertilizer on the grassland!"

When Tie Chongshan got the order, he immediately wanted to step forward to arrest him.Unexpectedly, Tuya suddenly stepped in front of the black-eyed boy:
"Unless you really think that father and he can't see what's happening on the grassland in Changshengtian, no one should even try to make a fuss today!"

The girl's voice was clear and clear, and these few words were even more resolute, and she actually shouted back Tie Chongshan who had already rushed forward.

"You put so much effort into speaking for a southerner, yet you still have the nerve to mention Father Han in Changsheng Tianli?"

"Since Jiang Yan defeated Du Lie, he is my fiancé according to the rules of the ancestors. If you still recognize me as my younger sister and the Hehan I admire, then return him to me and hold a wedding in a few days, so that my two Get married!"

"Don't you think I'm not ashamed enough? This king sent you to make peace with the princes and nobles of Ye Kingdom, and didn't want you to find a wild man to come back! Now, you dare to negotiate terms with this king?!"

Qin Na's face became extremely ugly.But Tuya seemed to want to anger him on purpose, she gently lifted Jiang Yan up, and kissed the young man on the face with all her might:
"Who says he doesn't have a title? You all have to keep your eyes open and look carefully. The one standing here is Beizi who was conferred by the Lord Ye personally, and there is a letter of credence and a seal to prove it! Our Muyun Department has always Promises must be followed by deeds, and Tuya will not marry unless she is this person in this life, and I hope that it will be fulfilled!"

"Qi and Yin are both dead, so there is still a bird for Beizi he canonized?!"

The girl's words pushed Chenna into a dilemma.The young Hehan was furious, and seeing Yuan Ti leading a group of conservative veterans also came forward, he was afraid that if he spoke more, it would be convenient for him to speak up to support the princess.

He also knew very well in his heart that his current position in the clan was not stable, and he might need to rely more on the help of these veterans in the future, so he could not tear himself apart with them, so he had to leave angrily.But before leaving, he still whispered a harsh word to Tuya:
"It's something that repays your kindness! Don't think that this king has nothing to do, and don't ask me to catch the two of you in the future!"

Watching the back of her elder brother leaving in a hurry, the girl glanced at the trembling Yaki clan in the cage from a distance, and couldn't help feeling sad:

"Speaking of repaying kindness and revenge, this is the specialty of my Muyun Department..."

But right now, she doesn't have that much time to think about it.With Yuan Ti's help, Tuya helped Jiang Yan back to a brand new yurt that had just been built for the two of them.After taking a bath and changing clothes, he even changed the wound medicine for the boy himself.

The words that Di Ren girl said earlier, as well as the warm feeling of her lips on her cheeks, were like a stone, which stirred up waves in Jiangyan's heart.After nightfall, he was still tossing and turning alone on the couch, and it was dawn in the blink of an eye.

Outside the tent at this time, the blizzard that had been falling for several days finally stopped.The north wind is passing through, there is no cloud in the sky, under the purple sky before sunrise, the Milky Way is like a sky, covered with snow.Without lighting a torch, you can have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery between heaven and earth.

The young man looked out through the gap in the curtain of the yurt, and saw a white awn of ten thousand ren standing far away in the sky, as towering as a pillar of the sky.The ten-thousand-year-old snow on the top of the mountain, reflecting the golden light that appeared in the east, suddenly reminded him of the ever-lasting lights on the Jie Pagoda outside Mulu City.

This was the first time that Jiang Yan became interested, recalling those dreamlike times in the past.In his mind, the appearance of the white-clothed boy and the red-haired girl who climbed up to the Jie Tower in the middle of the night together with him and laughed loudly at the sea—he suddenly wanted to know, where were the two companions at this moment? Where and what are you doing?I would like to ask the other party if he will also miss himself who has been separated by thousands of miles?
