twin moon

Chapter 65, Scene [-]
When General Tsing Yi rode his horse to Shuo Di's camp, he saw the shadow of a young man standing under the moon from afar.He was still holding the long and slender Mo Dao with black-gold cold light in his hand, posing a posture of facing the enemy, standing still, like a stone statue.

The armor on the boy's upper body had been ripped apart during the fight, exposing his muscular back and broad shoulders.His whole body was covered with large and small knife wounds, as if he had come out of hell from a bloody battle.But even with such a serious injury, he was not defeated in the siege of Shodi's warriors.

Du Lie's subordinates fought with General Yan for three sticks of kung fu, and Princess Tuya was able to stop the vengeful warriors, and finally saved the exhausted General Yan's life.However, Du Lie's body had already become icy cold, and there was no possibility of resurrection.The black-eyed boy was still unwilling to let go of his vigilance, and refused to accept the treatment offered by the other party. He just stubbornly stood where he was, letting the blood pool at his feet to form a river.

In a daze, Jiang Yan, who was covered in bruises, suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes behind him, and turned his head to take a look with difficulty.His vision had long since become blurred, but he still saw the cluster of bright red hair like flames in the darkness.

"Yue'er... why are you here?"

Seeing his companion, the last energy held in the young man's body was completely vented, he couldn't stand upright at all, and the Mo knife in his hand fell to the ground with a choke, and the whole person fell straight like a felled tree. On the ground, no longer unconscious.

Amidst Ning Yue's mournful cries, Xiang Baili left Di Ren's camp with her and Jiang Yan, who was seriously injured and unconscious, and rushed into the best medical center in the city.

Although there were no less than a hundred large and small wounds on Jiang Yan's body, fortunately most of them failed to hurt his vitals.But after all, there were too many wounds, the muscles under the torn skin were exposed, and the blood seemed to flow like a spring, so there was no time for fine sutures.Seeing this, the doctor in the museum had no choice but to take an iron braze, burn it on the fire until it was red, and press it directly on the wound to stop the bleeding.

The sound of sizzling and sizzling suddenly sounded in the medical hall, and then there was a strange smell of burnt flesh in the air.Ning Yue couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so she suppressed the nausea in her stomach and covered her mouth to escape.

However, as soon as she opened the curtain hanging in front of the medical hall, she saw a rather cramped young girl standing outside.The other party looked to be about the same age as him, with some baby fat on his wheat-colored face, rosy lips, black silk like silk, but his black eyes dodged left and right, not daring to look at him.

The other party's forehead and nose were covered with fine beads of sweat, and he was holding a white jade-like lion horse in his hand. He stood naked on the stone road with a pair of feet like this, and he was only wearing a thin white undershirt.Although a crimson cloak was wrapped around his shoulders, he was still shivering in the early spring night wind.

Ning Yue suddenly realized that standing in front of her eyes was the barbarian princess she had seen during the day.It's just that she didn't expect that the other party would dare to follow Xiang Baili into the city alone on horseback, and she immediately became furious and reprimanded:

"What are you doing here?!" Immediately afterwards, she took another step forward, stretching out her hand to push the other person hard.

Princess Tuya fell to the ground immediately, and her palms and elbows were scratched by the bluestone board.Although she stared in horror, she didn't immediately get up to run, but asked softly like a swift:

"The boy—how is it now?"

"It's a shame that you dare to come and ask how Xiaoba is doing! So many people beat him, how can he get better?!" Ning Yue raised a hand furiously, and as she spoke, she wanted to slap him in the face. "I don't care what kind of princess you are, and I don't care if other people are in awe of you. If I stutter him today—he—I swear that I will teach you to pay with blood!"

"I'm sorry, this matter is all because of me. If I didn't agree to let Du Lie escort me south, it would be fine..."

Princess Tuya lowered her eyes, and there were actually two crystal clear tears falling from her eyes.Ning Yue was startled suddenly, but gently retracted the hand raised in mid-air.She didn't know the relationship between the girl in front of her and the dead warrior Shodi, but she could clearly read from the mournful expression on the other side's face that there was no winner in this bloody battle tonight.

The red-haired girl couldn't help regretting the provocation she made to Du Lie in the afternoon.She suddenly felt that perhaps it was because of her own recklessness that the seemingly lonely and domineering Shuodi man died tragically under Jiang Yan's knife.And if he hadn't extrapolated before finding out what happened, Qi Ziyin might not have left Jiayunzhai impulsively, and Jiang Yan might not have been seriously injured because of this!
It wasn't until a series of hurried footsteps sounded in the darkness that Ning Yue, who was stunned in place, came back to her senses.However, before she could see the appearance of the person coming, she slapped him firmly on the face:

"Xiao Nizi is so bold, she dared to be rough on us, Gu Enji!"

The assailant was the princess's close wife.She has thick shoulders and a round waist, with two blushes on her face that are unique to prairie people.In normal times, she should also be a kind-hearted and simple woman.However, seeing the princess lying on the ground and being injured at this time, she also lost her mind for a while.

"Grandma Wuren, stop! It's none of this girl's business, I ran out barefoot and accidentally slipped."

Tuya immediately reached out and grabbed the other party's skirt, but took all the responsibility on herself.Only then did the woman turn around, carried the princess from the ground to the stone gate in front of the hospital and sat down, then took out the shoes, socks and fur cloak she brought with her, 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 something offensive to you."

"Grandma, don't worry too much. I'm fine. These people are also good people. If they want to harm me, they don't have to wait until now." The princess stood up again holding the other's arm, and looked at Ning Yue with concern. He asked, "Does your face still hurt?"

"You don't need to pretend to be a good person!"

The red-haired girl was still furious, she turned her face away angrily.The woman on the side wanted to say something, but seeing the princess shaking her head at her, she had to hold back her words.

What followed was a long silence.In the end, it was still Princess Di Ren who spoke first, breaking the deathly silence:

"I'm sorry, Grandma just did it to protect me. She is the nanny who has been taking care of me since I was a child, so she will naturally care more in her heart."

"Gu Enji! The same Nanren has nothing to explain! You are a princess, there is no need to apologize!"

"Grandma, you are wrong. It is natural for this girl to be angry. After all, the warriors under my account did not follow the rules of martial arts competitions and hurt 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 hard look.But there was only a hint of sadness on the brows of the girl from the Di people, and she still didn't show the slightest bit of sullenness, which completely didn't fit the stereotype of the brave and sturdy Shodi people she had heard.

"You—you also think I'm weird, don't you? Although my mother is the father's wife, she is from the Yubei Kingdom. So I actually have half of the Southern blood on me..."

For some reason, Princess Tuya took the initiative to talk about her life experience with Ning Yue, no matter how much Wu Ren beside her tried to dissuade her, she just continued talking on her own.When she spoke, she always lowered her eyes, and could only see her long eyelashes trembling slightly:

"My mother is deeply loved by my father, so even though I live in the grassland, she has always insisted on teaching me the etiquette and poetry of the southern countries, and no one in the family dares to say a word. But maybe it is for this reason that I I will be the only candidate for this trip to the south. Even if I have already made a marriage contract with a young warrior of the same clan, even if that person is Du Lie..."

It wasn't until this time that Ning Yue finally understood why the Shuo Di warrior named Du Lie would get furious whenever he mentioned the princess' marriage.She couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for the Diren girl in front of her, and most of the anger in her heart disappeared because of this, and then she followed the other person's words and asked:

"Since you have a marriage contract, how could your father send you south so cruelly? Why didn't your mother come forward to stop you?"

"Father Han failed to survive the winter of last year, and has already gone to the Heaven of Longevity blessed by the gods. And Erda, my elder brother who is connected by blood, succeeded to the throne and became the new Hehan. Xinhan used to be In front of the elders of the clan, he swore a solemn oath to restore the Muyun tribe before the spirit of his father Han. Therefore, the first edict he issued after he succeeded to the throne was to order me to go south to make a marriage."

Speaking of this, Tuya involuntarily paused: "As for my mother—Shuobei is bitter and cold, and it is not easy to survive. The people of Shodi will never raise an idler among the tribe. Chinna was not born by her mother at all. She will not help her speak. And the mother can neither do heavy work nor marry other men in the family to have children, so after Erda succeeded to the throne, she was sent to the palace together with her father's body. I was buried in Cangshan..."

"How could this be..." The red-haired girl's eyes widened, and she couldn't imagine what a dark and helpless time the girl opposite had experienced.

"Erda has always cared about the eyes of his clansmen, and he can't tolerate the accusations of others. Now he is shouldering the mission of revitalizing the entire Muyun tribe. As an impure person who has brought shame to the Bakwuqin family Blood, the only reason why he can still live in this 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 benefits, and he can use his body to give Mu Yunbu a chance to make a comeback..."

Princess Di Ren continued to explain in a leisurely manner.When talking about these things, her tone did not reveal too much bitterness and helplessness, as if she was telling someone else's story.And the strong hostility between the two girls seemed to dissolve unconsciously as the conversation deepened.

"So... are you just accepting your fate like this? Why can't a child born of a concubine always be able to escape the fate of being a pawn..."

Ning Yue suddenly felt bored in her heart.She suddenly thought of Qi Ziyin again, and she wanted to say something comforting as if she felt the same way.But before he could open his mouth, the other party seemed to have seen through her thoughts, and shook his head gently:
"Girl, you don't need to bother about a savage like me. Tonight I will order the camp to leave Mulu City. And this farce, just pretend it never happened."

"But Gu Enji, the fact that you went south to get married this time has long been known to the world. If you go back like this, Xinhan will never let you go easily! Maybe you will be sentenced to death for humiliating the face of the family. !"

Wu Ren's grandma heard that her master actually wanted to withdraw, she immediately changed her expression and persuaded him from the sidelines.But Princess Tuya didn't reply, but took the snow-white jade lion, turned around and walked away.

"I don't know your name yet."

When Princess Di Ren passed by her side, Ning Yue suddenly heard the other party asking in a low voice.She was stunned for a moment, then stood there blankly, watching the slender figure drift away, and then shouted loudly at him:
"My name is Ning Yue! Wait a minute, I still have something to ask!"

But Tuya never looked back, but surrounded by a group of warriors and followers, she completely disappeared into the dark night.
