Thousand Miles of Bright Moonlight

The north wind howled, the sky was cold and the ground was freezing.

The boundless wilderness is covered by half a foot of snow. As far as you can see, there is a bleak white snow. There are towering mountains in the sky. The peaks are snow-capped, the sun rises, and the mountains are magnificent.

When Yaoying saw the huge white eagle flying above her head for the third time, she sighed and wrapped her felt tightly.

"Aling Haidu is here."

Xie Qing raised her head and saw a snow-white great falcon following her sight.

The sky is high and the clouds are pale, and the eagle falcon stretches out its vigorous posture in the clouds, its wings seem to be plated with a light golden light, fierce and majestic.

"Is that the eagle raised by Beirong people?"

Yaoying nodded, her voice hoarse: "I saw it five days ago, it appeared again yesterday, and it has been following us today... It is reporting to Haidu Aling."

Soon after leaving the Yelu tribe, they were hunted and killed by the men of Haidualing, which was ambushing nearby. As expected, Helong had been secretly occupied by Beirong, and the road to the Central Plains had been completely cut off. The front was Haidualing. Behind them were the Beirong people. They could not enter or retreat, they could only hide their tracks carefully.

I don't know how long wandering in the deserted snowfield, the eagle falcon suddenly appeared.

Yaoying coughed a few times and signaled Xie Qing and the other soldiers to find a shelter to rest.

"I heard from the businessmen in the West Market that in the cold winter season, the journey from Liangzhou to Guazhou is difficult. The caravan will not choose to set off at this time. Haidu Aling must have blocked all the highways in Helong. We are the only one who keeps going east. This eagle only needs to patrol a few times, go back and report the letter, and Haidu Aling will know which direction we are in."

The soldiers looked at each other and were helpless.

Unlike the complex terrain of the Central Plains, here is the endless Gobi, and they can't find a hiding place. There may be caves on the mountain for hiding, but the weather is cold, they have eaten up their food, and they are not familiar with the terrain, and there are always Beirong chasing soldiers behind them. The tribes occasionally met know that they are Han people. provide help.

They must break through the blockade as soon as possible and return to the Central Plains, otherwise, no matter where they hide, they will be found by Haidu Aling sooner or later.

A man put his hand on his forehead and stared at the eagle falcon, and said, "Maybe it is just an ordinary eagle."

Yaoying shook her head: "This eagle has followed us for several days, every time it appears at dawn and disappears in the evening. It never goes hunting and follows us all the time."

"Princess, I will try to see if I can knock it down!"

Lu Heng, who is the most skilled in archery among the soldiers, yelled out loud, bending his bow and shooting arrows, shooting a few arrows in a row.

The eagle falcon in the high air let out a few arrogantly clear hums, and suddenly dived, a gloomy black shadow under the huge double wings, revealing a kind of arrogance of watching all things.

Lu Heng cursed a few times and took out a few remaining gunpowder-filled quiveres: "These things can scare Ye Lu people to kneel, can they scare the eagle away?"

Yaoying shook his hand toward the soldiers.

Ye Lu had little knowledge and had never seen fireworks. She deliberately cursed the prince with nonsense at the old Khan’s funeral. Ye Lu, who believed in the **** of fire, would be scared to death.

The eagle will not be scared away.

Haidu Aling climbed to the top of the mountain when he was eleven years old, killed a mighty female eagle, found a chick from the nest, raised it by hand, and tamed it.

The eagle later followed him from east to west, from north to south. The people of Beirong called it Abu and regarded it as the **** of ten thousand eagles.

Haidu Aling once proudly declared that Abu was the fastest and highest flying bird in the world, and except for his master, he could not kill Abu.

Many people tried to kill the condor but failed.

This condor finally died in the hands of its owner, Haidu Aling, only because it had lost a competition and was no longer the fastest flying eagle in the world.

Yaoying drank the remaining water in the water sac and looked to the east: "The eagle has found us. Haidu Aling only needs to send people to explore in different directions, and he will soon be able to catch up."

When she saw the white falcon time and time again, she was sure that Haidu Aling had returned.

This shows that he failed to launch a full-scale sneak attack as he wished, and failed to provoke the war between Dawei and Xishu and Nanchu, otherwise he would not come back so quickly.

Yaoying's heart is heavy.

This also shows that the defeated Haidu Aling will come to hunt her with his horrible anger and all his pro-active forces in the Eastern Expedition.

Xie Qing found a dry place and spread a felt blanket: "Princess, let's rest for a while."

With a cry, Yaoying sat down cross-legged, leaned on Xie Qing's shoulder, and went to sleep with her eyes closed.

After running for days, she has become accustomed to taking a nap with her eyes closed in the ice and snow anytime and anywhere.

They rested for only a quarter of an hour, trembling and taking a nap in the cold wind, climbed on their horses, and continued eastward.

Even if he knew that Haidu Aling would chase him right away, he still wanted to flee.

Get closer and hope more.

Maybe they can escape?

On that day, the White Falcon still followed them all day, and disappeared again in the evening.

In order to get rid of the white falcon, they rushed all night, the snowy road at night was rugged and difficult, and several horses fell to the ground after exhaustion, and some of them were suddenly frightened and threw their soldiers off their horses.

The soldier said: "We are not familiar with the terrain, so we can't take the risk of walking at night!"

Xie Qing had no choice but to stop everyone to repair.

The soldiers hadn't eaten for several days, so they grabbed a handful of snow and stuffed them into their mouths, fearing that Yaoying would see them, one by one turned around and turned their backs to her.

Yaoying touched the animal skin bag around her waist, and Xie Qing hadn't eaten anything these days, and all the dry food that could satisfy her stomach was given to her.

People are starving and freezing, and so are horses. They have been trekking for days. Several horses have died in the past few days. The soldiers had to ride together.

Her beloved horse Wusunma was almost unable to hold it.

That was the horse Li Zhongqian gave her.

Yaoying untied the animal skin bag and handed it to Xie Qing, "Take it to them."

Xie Qing refused to take it.

Yao's English became more angry, and said: "They have been working hard for days, so they have to eat something to maintain their strength. I left some bait cakes. Qing, if something goes wrong with you, I can't go far alone."

Xie Qing took the animal skin bag and distributed it to other soldiers.

The soldiers said no, they could bear it.

Xie Qing said expressionlessly, "Eat it. If you don't eat it, the princess won't eat it either."

The soldiers had to take it.

Xie Qing went back to Yaoying's side with his hands empty.

Yaoying leaned on his shoulder and handed him a piece of dry and hard bait cake: "A Qing, I keep it for you."

Xie Qing did not speak, took the bait cake, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed in silence.

Yaoying looked at the dark night sky above her head and asked softly: "Aqing, do you think Xie Liang are alive?"

Xie Liang was one of the first soldiers sent out to deliver the letter.

Xie Qing said solemnly: "Judging from the chasing soldiers of these Tianbei Rong people, they are more fierce than good."

The corner of Yaoying's mouth curled up: "You really can't comfort people."

Xie Liang and the others have probably been killed by the Beirong people. They came to Yelu's tribe thousands of miles away to protect her, and ventured through layers of blockades in order to carry out her orders. They were only her personal soldiers before death. , The people of the Central Plains would not know their deeds.

Yaoying shivered from the cold and curled up into a ball.

Xie Qing bowed his head to close the felt blanket for her, and looked at her with pitch-black eyes: "Princess, even if Xie Liang and them die, they will die for loyalty. They die without regret."

Yaoying recalled that when Xie Liang first came to her, she was an honest young man. She blushed when she looked up, and she didn't know where to put her hands and feet.

Xie Liang accepted the instructions without asking a question when Ye Lu's department set up an escape plan.

Yaoying asked him if he was afraid of death.

He scratched his head: "Scared."

Then why do you still obey my orders?

Xie Liang continued to scratch his head: "Because you are the seventh princess! When the little one was selected by King Qin, he made an oath to the ancestors of heaven and earth!"

He didn't fully understand the righteousness of his family and country, he only knew that he had to protect the princess, heed the princess's orders, and the father asked him to do a right thing, then he should work hard to complete the instructions.

No matter how dangerous this instruction is.

His loyalty is so simple and so heavy.

Yaoying was cold and hungry. She was stiff and sore. The bones of her whole body had been run over again and then put together at random. There was pain in her bones.

She wanted to live, to return to the Central Plains, and to take these soldiers who shared her ups and downs with her.

Yaoying clenched her fingers tightly and fell into a deep sleep in the intense desire for business.

When she woke up, the sky was already bright. It may still be a sunny day. The red sun has not yet reached out to her head, and the violent wind has swept away all the floating clouds and the sky is blue.

Someone exclaimed in surprise, "The eagle didn't chase it!"

Everyone was excited, Xie Qing picked Yaoying up and put her on horseback.

Yaoying breathed a sigh of relief. After running not far, she looked back at the soldier behind her and found that Lu Heng had disappeared.

She stopped her horse and counted the number of people.

Not only was Lu Heng missing, but four people were missing.

Yaoying looked at Xie Qing.

Xie Qing pulled the reins and slowed down, "Princess, this is the only way."

Yaoying was silent for a while, and closed her eyes.

In order to get rid of the chaser and the eagle's tracking, it is indeed the best way to divide the troops to attract attention. The eagle can quickly find their tracks, but the eagle cannot distinguish their identities.

Lu Heng may not be able to really distract the White Falcon, but he can buy her some time.

Just for this little time, they have no hesitation.

Yaoying closed her eyes, tolerated the tears that were about to come out of her eyes, and urged her horse to continue galloping with her whip.

She couldn't let Lu Heng and the others sacrifice in vain.

They continued to run eastward.

Suddenly, Wu Sunma let out a high-pitched horse hiss, and his front hoof fell softly and crashed into the snow.

"Princess!"

Xie Qing and the soldiers were shocked, stopped, and flew forward.

Yaoying fell to the ground and rolled several laps. Fortunately, Wusunma tried to support her for a while before she finally fell. The snow on the ground was thick. There was no injury on her body, only some skin was scratched.

Xie Qing helped her stand up. She was dizzy and shook for several times before standing still.

Wu Sunma was still struggling fiercely, constantly uttering desperate wailing.

The soldiers stood in front of Yaoying: "This horse is frightened!"

Yaoying's eyes were flushed, she pushed her guard away, choked up and said, "No, it's too tired."

She knelt in front of Wusunma and stretched out her hand trembling.

This is the horse that my brother gave her. It is a love horse who has accompanied her for many years. It is gentle and tough, very human. He likes to eat sweet Pingguo the most, and has never lost his temper to her.

Seeing his master, Wu Sunma gradually calmed down, looking at her with slick and moist eyes, panting, and raising his head hard, rubbing her palms as if acting like a baby when asking her for food.

Yaoying tremblingly searched for animal skin bags, Wusunma likes to eat sweet fruits, she likes to eat sweet fruits!

The animal skin bag was empty.

Wu Sunma stared at Yaoying motionlessly, not waiting for the fruit he loved, his eyes were still gentle, and he wagged his tail at her for the last time and lost his breath.

Yaoying had endured many days of tears and shedding tears.

Sorry, I'm not a good host, I couldn't let you eat your favorite fruit.

Xie Qing hugged Yaoying in silence and rode with her.

In the afternoon, they lost two more horses.

Horse meat can be eaten up, but the soldiers did not slaughter their foal. When the last horse fell, they could only walk through the wasteland.

Yaoying was hungry and weakened day by day. Xie Qing handed the long knife to others and carried her forward.

A few days later, they finally saw the familiar mountain range lying across the river in the sky.

The soldiers rushed up the hillside, "As long as you see those mountains that look like buns, it means that you are approaching Liangzhou! We can climb over that mountain in just one day! We escaped!"

Yaoying leaned on Xie Qing's back and raised her head in a daze.

Can she go home?

Can you be reunited with brother?

She trembled all over, before she had time to say anything, there were several sharp howlings from the clouds, and a huge white falcon swooped down from the clouds.

Yaoying's face was pale.

As the white falcon's wings dashed through the air, the ground under their feet suddenly trembled, and the sound of horseshoes stomped behind them.

Yaoying turned her head.

Dust was rolled up on the boundless wilderness. In the sky, a red sun slowly fell, and the sky was as scarlet as blood. Hundreds of strong knights in black armor rode horses and gallops, like a black torrent, carrying The mighty aura that swallowed everything, rushed towards Yaoying and his party.

The soldiers were dumbfounded.

The team of hundreds of people swiftly rushed towards them.

The man at the forefront of the team has thick, tall and sturdy arms, wearing a wide felt hat, a black gold brocade robe, and holding a huge long bow. His pale golden eyes gleamed like a beast in the twilight.

He stopped not far from Yaoying, with the corners of his lips slanted.

"Princess Seven, I didn't expect you to survive so many days."

Yaoying closed her eyes and shuddered slightly.

She remembered the legend of the Beirong people that the way they tamed eagles was to boil them.

Haidu Aling is a master at boiling eagles.

He had found her a long time ago, and he has been following her, watching her go hungry, watching her tortured, and then appear at the moment when she thinks she can return to her hometown, ruthlessly stifling her hope of returning home. .

Seeing hope the moment before, and falling into the darkest despair in the next moment, how could she not collapse?

Haidu Aling is taming her.

She has nowhere to escape.

Xie Qing put down Yaoying, took her saber, drew the knife out of its sheath, and stood in front of Yaoying.

The other soldiers also drew their sabers silently.

There was a playful smile at the corner of Haidu Aling's mouth. He didn't move, and he didn't seem to put Xie Qing in his eyes at all.

Xie Qing stood in front of Yaoying, holding his own knife in his hand, looking calm.

It seemed that he was not facing an invincible army.

There are only a few of them, they are exhausted and dizzy with hunger.

The opponent is strong and energetic.

They hit the stone with the pebbles, and they will definitely die.

But what about it?

Xie Qing read out the original vow word by word: "I would like to follow Qiniang, protect her comprehensively, and never die."

Not the seventh princess of the Li family, not the little sister of Jingnan.

It's just his little Qiniang.

He looked back at Yaoying.

"Qiniang, do you recognize me?"

With tears in her eyes, Yaoying smiled faintly: "A Qing, I recognized it a long time ago."

Xie Qing nodded, still expressionless: "A scholar died for a confidant. Although I Xie Qingniang is a woman, I can inherit the aspirations of our ancestors and die to protect Qiniang. Xie Qingniang died without regret."

No regrets.

Facing the aggressive Bei Rong army, she raised her long knife.

The other soldiers stayed there for a while, and then all showed expressions of "it really is." They looked at each other and laughed: "In ancient times there was Mulan, and now there is Xie Qingniang. We can fight side by side with you, and we can fight with you when we die. Brothers brag and brag."

"It's a pity, I didn't take the opportunity to take advantage of you before..."

"Do you dare to do anything with her? Her physique can slap you to death!"

They panted weakly, held a sigh of breath, and stood in front of Li Yaoying, never going back.

In the twilight, their tall back figures are firm and stalwart, just like the rolling mountains behind Yaoying.

These ordinary people, only because of a promise, guarded her to this day.

They regarded her as an object of allegiance and gave up their lives for her.

She also wanted to return their loyalty.

Yaoying stood behind Xie Qing and the others, and wiped the corners of her eyes with a smile.

Haidu A Ling squinted his eyes, raised the huge longbow, extended his arms, and the longbow was full of strength.

Yaoying knew that this battle was over at the beginning.

They didn't even have a chance to struggle.

She wiped away her tears and put her pale hands on Xie Qing's shoulders.

Xie Qing looked back.

"A Qing, we want to live, live well."

She looked at Haidu Aling on horseback in the distance, her eyes firm.

"As long as we can survive, we must have the day when we return to the Central Plains."

Xie Qing realized what Yaoying was going to do, grabbed her hand, and shouted, "No!"

Yaoying looked at the others: "Stop her."

The soldiers looked at each other.

Yaoying broke away from Xie Qing's hand and brushed her hair on her temples: "I am your princess. Now I order you to stop Xie Qing. Do you have to resist?"

The faces of the soldiers shook, and they struggled for a while, tears burst into their eyes, and they clasped their fists in response.

Xie Qinggai split his eyes, and roared forward: "No! Qiniang, you come back!"

The soldiers stood in front of her, holding her tightly.

Xie Qing drew his sword and slashed wildly. The soldiers had no choice but to take the knife from her hand and threw her to the ground, pressing her arms and legs to prevent her from moving.

Yaoying smiled slightly at Xie Qing, with a soft tone: "A Qing, I'm fine."

The current Haidu Aling is still young, not the emperor who will conquer countless countries in the future. He has his weaknesses and enemies that he fears.

She always finds an opportunity to escape.

Stay with the green hills, without worrying about not having firewood.

Yaoying slowly walked out from behind the guards, standing in front of everyone, facing Haidu Aling.

"I'll go with you."

The cold wind blows on her messy dress and long hair. Even though she has been running around for days and looks haggard, she is still noble and beautiful, like the flowers blooming in the snow on the top of the mountain.

Haidu Aling raised his eyebrows and raised his arms. The white falcon landed on his arm and grabbed his finger.

The corners of his mouth twitched.

The process of taming this Han princess is so easy, even more so than the original sense of conquering the eagle.

…

Yaoying became the trophy of Haidu Aling.

Seemingly satisfied with her obedience, he promised to keep Xie Qing's lives.

Before being sent to the carriage, Yaoying glanced back at the mountains standing in the twilight. The layers of rocks were stacked and the mountains and rivers were magnificent.

She will come back, she will climb over the majestic mountains and return to her hometown.

…

Although he had just attacked the Wei Dynasty and made a feud with the Wei Dynasty, Haidu Aling was still not afraid of the Wei Dynasty. After catching Yaoying from a place only one day away from Liangzhou, he took the men and horses back without a hassle. .

Yaoying was locked in a wagon with a steel frame and guarded by Haidu Aling's soldiers.

She finally had fresh food.

In the afternoon, Bei Rongbing sent a maidservant Hu to Yaoying's side.

Yaoying looked at each other in surprise: "Why are you here?"

Tali wiped the corners of her eyes: "The slave remembered the princess's instructions. After you left, the slave also took advantage of the chaos and escaped. Soon the Yelu tribe was annexed by Bei Rong, and the prince and clan elder were all dead... The slave just found a place to live. , The men in the tribe were killed by the Bei Rong people, and we women became their slaves."

Helong has been occupied by Beirong, and all tribes are forced to surrender. Men are killed and women become slaves.

Tali lowered her voice and said, "Princess, the slave listened to them. Beirong Khan attacked the royal court in the Western Regions. After losing the battle, he summoned Prince Aling back. Prince Aling is going to take us back to the Western Regions."

Yaoying sighed slightly.

Not long ago, she and Tali talked about Liusha River and Tali's homeland. At that time, she thought she would never go to that remote place in her life.

It turned out that the desolate Yelu tribe is not far away from the homeland, but the Western Regions thousands of miles away are truly far away.

That night, Yaoying was taken to a tent in Haidu Aling.

"How can the Seventh Princess see my identity?"

The man who grew up among wolves was sturdy, standing beside a long case like a majestic mountain, holding a knife in his hand, slowly cutting open a wild deer that hadn't died.

The smell of blood came out.

Yaoying stood in front of the long case and said flatly: "I heard my brother mentioned Prince Beirong."

"Oh?" Haidu Aling didn't raise his head, and the long knife neatly peeled off the skin of the wild deer. "I did fight against Li Zhongqian, he is very brave."

He turned around, "However, Li Zhongqian was seriously injured and has been unconscious. The person guarding Liangzhou is your prince. As far as I know, there is an enmity between you and the prince. If it were not designed by the East Palace, you would not fall into it. Today’s situation."

Haidu Aling raised her head, her pale yellow eyes like a pair of crystal glass in the candlelight.

"Your father exchanged Yeluhazhu's loyalty with you, and the prince asked you to marry his beloved woman. The minister was not saved when your brother was injured. Why do you want to confuse them?"

Yaoying still said indifferently, "Because I am a big Wei person."

Haidu Aling raised her eyebrows: "I can avenge the seventh princess, and when I kill the prince, I can support Li Zhongqian to ascend the throne."

Yaoying sneered, "Worry about the prince."

After marrying on behalf of her, all the grievances between her and Li De and Li Xuanzhen were the grievances between her and Li De and Li Xuanzhen. After she gets away, she will clear up the entanglement with Li De and his son.

She would never cooperate with a wolf and ambitious like Haidu Aling.

Haidu Aling was perfidy, cold-blooded and cruel. When he was a child, he killed the she-wolf who fed him and grew up, just to use the wolf skin to obtain the qualifications to be taken in by the tribe. Wakhan Khan treated him as his own, let his younger brother adopt him, and gave him a noble background, but he thought his adoptive father was weak and useless. He is still as close to Wakhan as a father and son, but in the future he will slaughter Wakhan's sons and grandsons, kill all Wakhan's heirs, and then become the new leader of Beirong.

How could such a cruel person really help her get revenge?

If she agrees, not only Wei Jiangshan, but the entire Central Plains will eventually fall into the hands of Haidu Aling, and she and her brother will be ruthlessly killed by Haidu Aling.

Haidu Aling laughed: "Does the seventh princess not believe in my sincerity?"

Yaoying looked directly at Haidu Aling: "If the prince said to help me get revenge on the bones of tens of thousands of innocent people, we have nothing to talk about."

Haidu Aling slowly opened the belly of the wild deer, "Ye Lu Hazhu only glanced at you, and dreamt about marrying you... Seventh princess, you have disrupted my plan. The person who should be married is Princess Fukang."

Princess Fukang got married. First, he could take the opportunity to kill the prince and disturb Dawei. Second, use the identity of Zhu's daughter to disturb people's hearts. In addition to the hidden stakes buried in Nanchu and Shu, the Central Plains must be When chaos occurs, Bei Rong will be able to destroy the Wei Dynasty without any effort.

It's a pity that Haidu Aling is counted, but Yelu Hazhu became lustful and fell in love with a charming Han princess. In order to marry the princess, he even took out Liangzhou as a bargaining chip.

He was puzzled. It wasn't until that night that he saw the seven princesses who were dressed up at the palace banquet, that he understood why Yelu Hazhu was tempted.

Such stunning beauty should belong to him.

It was her incomparable beauty that made him lose his vigilance and despise this woman.

Haidu Aling snorted a few times: "I only sent a few letters to promise Princess Fukang to help her regain the country, and she would marry Ye Lubu, and her aunt... the eldest princess Yiqing who was pro-Turkic. , I promised to restore the country for her, and she helped me to make suggestions and send loyal servants to the Central Plains to contact the former officials loyal to the Zhu family, telling Xishu and Nanchu to attack you Dawei..."

Yaoying slowly opened her eyes.

Haidu Aling smiled: "Princess Seven, Princess Fukang is a princess, Princess Yiqing is a princess, you are also a princess, why are you different from them?"

Yaoying didn't say a word, her hands in her sleeves trembled slightly.

I see! I see!

Haidu Aling shouldn't have led troops to attack the Central Plains so early, and Zhu Luyun shouldn't have been inexplicably linked with Hu Ren at the beginning. She has never understood why many things have changed. It turned out that the beginning of the change was the princess Yiqing!

No wonder Haidu Aling has such a thorough understanding of the countries of the Central Plains. It is no wonder that others are in the north but can always be aware of the movements of Southern Chu. Together, all of this is Haidu Aling's conspiracy!

The eldest princess Yiqing united with him and sent me to the Central Plains. While spying on the military situation, while looking for helpers for her, while disturbing the courts of various countries, the loyal servant who appeared next to Zhu Luyun and encouraged her to marry Yelu's tribe was just one of them. !

The princess who was pro-Turkish many years ago wanted to rejuvenate the Zhu family, but he formed an alliance with Haidu Aling and almost made the Beirong people drive straight in.

Yaoying shook her body, almost a little unstable.

She didn't know that there was a Princess Yiqing behind, but in the letter she reminded Li Xuanzhen and Du Sinan to beware of Nanchu, and wondered if they could find out Princess Yiqing's work.

Haidu Aling chuckled: "Seven princesses, look, if it wasn't for your Han princesses' help, how could I successfully plunder the Central Plains and get such a stunning beauty as the princess?"

Yaoying calmed her thoughts and raised her eyes, "Han people are humans, and you Beirong people are also humans. People are good or bad. I am not the eldest princess of Yiqing, and I will not cooperate with the prince."

She paused and straightened her back.

"Not everyone will be coerced by Wang Zili, there are many people like me."

"This time when the prince attacked Dawei, Nanchu, who was supposed to send troops at the same time and was separated from the Dawei with a sea of ​​blood and vengeance, was different from the army, because they knew that the prince's ambition was not just a gate, with cold lips and cold teeth. Although the people with lofty ideals in Xishu were deceived by the prince for a while, they will never make peace with someone like the prince when they learn the truth!"

"The Central Plains have been unified, and the Great Wei will soon put down the war. Southern Chu and Western Shu will all surrender to the Great Wei, the mountains and rivers are unified, the monarchs and ministers are united, the Northern Rong is strong, and the Great Wei is not without strong generals!"

Haidu Aling's slender eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of her lips twitched, "This king admires the princess's mind."

Yaoying said coldly: "I also admire the prince's mind."

Haidu Aling was stunned for a moment: "The princess admires this king?"

The corner of Yaoying's mouth curled up slightly: "The prince is not Wakhan Khan's own person. In order to repay the Khan's nurturing grace, he took the lead and fought **** battles. How much land has the prince won for the Khan this time?"

Haidu Aling's face was slightly stiff.

Yaoying sensed his anger, and said inwardly: Sure enough, Haidu Aling was very taboo about his identity, after all, he was not Wakhan's parent and child.

Haidu Aling seemed speechless, stopped the gestures in her hand and signaled Yaoying could leave.

Yaoying turned around and walked away.

Haidu Aling looked gloomy, called a counselor, grabbed a cloth towel and wiped the deer blood on the knife, "Did you hear what the seventh princess said just now?"

The counselor nodded.

"She is a delicate woman with such a mind. Is it true that everyone in the Central Plains is like this? Isn't it really a good time to attack the Central Plains now?"

The counselor considered for a moment and tried his best to use a sentence that Haidu Aling could understand: "Although the State of Wei was established not long ago, it has won the hearts of the people. It has long been rotten. It is not Wei’s opponent. Looking at the Central Plains, there is no other force that can prevent Wei from reunifying the North and the South."

Haidu Aling frowned and thought.

He is not Wakhan's own son. What can he gain from all his hard-earned combat exploits?

If he continues to stay and attack the Central Plains, even if he wins Guanzhong, Wahan will not entrust him to Guanzhong, and only his own son is in his heart.

He must first gain a foothold inside Beirong.

Sooner or later Zhongyuan belongs to him, so there is no need to rush for it.

The prince did not seem to care about the seventh princess like the legend, the second prince and the seventh princess depended on each other for life, he kept the seventh princess, and he would be useful in the future.

Haidu Aling made up his mind and ordered his counselor: "From tomorrow, I will order all ministries to throw away their luggage and join my uncle as soon as possible. You stay to manage the river and don't let the people sent by other princes rob me of the results of my battle!"

The counselor should.

…

On the second day, the speed of the marching team suddenly increased.

In order to hurry, the team directly abandoned the cart, Yaoying was taken on horseback by a few strong and well-equipped Hu women, and followed the team to gallop towards the west.

They passed through Ganzhou, Suzhou, Guazhou, Shazhou, through the vast wilderness at the foot of the Qilian Mountains, and arrived in front of the 800-mile quicksand.

Moheyan moraine, according to the book, is eight hundred li long, with the ancient name of a sand river, without birds, no beasts, and no plants. At night, the demon raises the fire, shining like stars; in the day, the wind embraces the sand, scattered like rain.

Yaoying is taken care of by Hu Nv every day, and she didn't suffer much on the way through the desert, only Xie Qing and the others will suffer.

They were locked up with other prisoners and marched at the back of the line.

Whenever the team stopped to rest, Yaoying looked for opportunities to talk to the captives, and wanted to ask them to help bring Xie Qing, but a few Hu women were guarded too strictly, and the captives couldn’t speak Chinese. She tried several times. It was all in vain all the time.

Crossing the Babailisha River, and further north, is Yizhou.

In the previous dynasty, there was chaos, and Yizhou was occupied by a mixed bag. It used to be attached to different forces such as the Western Turks and Tubo. Now Yizhou is under the rule of Bei Rong, and Bei Rong Ya Tent is now located in Yizhou.

The closer I got to Yizhou, there were letters from the North Rong sentry sent by Wakhan Khan constantly on the road. Haidu Aling was busy dealing with Wakhan Khan, and disappeared every day.

Tali told Yaoying that Wakhan Khan had been besieging the royal court for the past six months. Not long ago, he was once again defeated by the hands of Buddha. He was so angry that he suddenly fell ill and had to retreat to Tucheng. Will rush back to Yizhou.

Yaoying quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

…

The western region is vast and the climate is harsh, with large or small oasis scattered in the middle, and the population supported by each oasis is limited.

Such a geographical environment made it difficult for the Western Regions to produce a strong and powerful dynasty. They simply couldn't support a large number of soldiers and horses. Therefore, when the Northern Army attacked, the various tribes were like scattered sand, unable to resist.

Back then, the Northern Rong conquered the Western Regions, and the Northern Rong Khan believed that he could level the entire Western Regions in just a few months.

The Northern Rong was invincible, and wherever the cavalry went, city-states, large and small, and tribes all surrendered.

Wakhan Khan was full of ambition and decided to take advantage of the situation to take down the legendary holy city and let the Buddha become his prisoner.

Everyone believed that Wakhan Khan would successfully conquer the holy city and capture the Buddha.

However, in that battle, Wakhan Khan, who had a powerful cavalry, lost.

Thirty thousand against the two thousand of the Buddha, not only returned in a big defeat, but also lost their armor and armor. The invincible Wakhan Khan fell off his horse and was almost trampled to death by his mount.

That battle that defeated more with less made the thirteen-year-old Buddha Tamara Gya famous in the Western Regions, with unprecedented prestige.

At the same time, it left a deep mark on Wakhan Khan's heart.

This proud Khan was eager to get out of the shadow of failure and regain his morale, but he didn’t know what was going on. Since that defeat, the Bei Rong army only had to fight the royal army, especially the Chinese army loyal to the Buddha. Enemy, there will always be some mistakes.

After being defeated by Tamaraga's army again, Wakhan Khan began to wonder if Tamaraga was really capable of magical spells.

This has become a heart disease of Wakhan Khan, since then, he has always subconsciously avoided confronting the royal court.

As a result, the North Western Region was peaceful for ten years.

In those two battles, Haidu Aling followed Wakhan Khan closely.

Wakhan Khan’s heart disease is also the heart disease of Haidu Aling.

Both generations of khans were defeated by Tamaragarh, and they both murmured at the holy city, and did not dare to attack the holy city easily.

When Tamaragarh was alive, neither Wakhan Khan nor Haidu Aling was able to break through the holy city.

Until Tam Moroga died of illness, Haidu Aling laughed several times, and said to his subordinates: "Without the Buddha, is the holy city still holy city?"

Immediately count the people and lead troops to encircle and suppress the holy city.

Soon, the royal court fell.

…

Yaoying recalled the battle between Bei Rong and the royal court, and she was sure that both Wakhan Khan and Haidu Aling were afraid of Tamaraga.

This time Wakhan Khan mustered up the courage and sent the tribe attached to him to harass the royal court. He only encircled and suppressed the holy city. Not only did he fail to conquer the holy city as he wished, but he was also directly angry. The news came out that the northern cavalry would only Believe the rumor even more: Whoever dares to attack the holy city will be condemned by heaven.

Haidu Aling was as taboo about Tamaraga as his uncle, and Beirong was defeated. He was busy with military affairs and couldn't remember her for the time being. She could just look for a chance to escape.

However, before Yaoying found the opportunity, a few Hu women suddenly escorted her to the tent in Haidu Aling on this day.

A long pole was erected in the open space in front of the tent, and a scarred person was tied to the long pole. The blood dripped down the corners of the robe, and there was a pool of dirty blood on the sand.

Yaoying's gaze fell on that person's face, her whole body trembled.

Haidu Aling raised the curtain and walked out with a knife in his hand. There was a wound on his right cheek. The blood hadn't stopped yet, and half of his face was covered with blood.

He looked gloomy and strode towards Xie Qing.

Yaoying quickly rushed forward, and a few Hu women swarmed up, hugged her firmly, not letting her go forward.

Haidu Aling looked back at Yaoying, wiped the wound, hissed, and raised the long knife: "Princess Seven, it's not that I didn't keep the promise. Your people dare to assassinate me, so don't blame me for being cruel."

Seeing that he was about to chop off Xie Qing's head with a single knife, Yaoying's brain was sparkling, and a thought quickly turned.

"I know Tamaraga!"

The long knife just hit Xie Qing's neck and suddenly stopped abruptly.

Yaoying was overjoyed: Haidu Aling was really afraid of Tamaraga!

Haidu Aling's pale yellow eyes passed the different colors, turned his head, and stared at Yaoying.

No one knows the fame of Tamaraga in the Western Regions, but they usually call him a Buddha or a master or a mage. Ordinary people only know Tamaraga's surname Tanma, and he doesn't know the name Luoga. He is also by chance. Only then did I know the full name of Tamara Ka.

The Seventh Princess, a Chinese girl, how did she know the full name of Tamaraga?

Yaoying calmed down, facing the suspicious sight of Haidu Aling, calmly said: "Has the prince ever thought about how the royal caravan appeared near Liangzhou?"

Haidu Aling frowned slightly.

When he learned that the prince had killed the caravan of Tamaraga, he had indeed thought about this question: Why did the people of Tamaraga cross the Liusha River and appear in Liangzhou?

The Buddha was noble and holy. He never took a step out of the Buddhist temple except for a few times to lead the army. He thought for a long time and couldn't think of the reason. He was always thinking about it.

Now when Yaoying mentioned it, Haidu Aling immediately thought of it.

Haidu Aling pretended to be light-hearted and said: "Could it be for you?"

Yaoying nodded: "Yes, it's for me. I just married Yelu, and the caravan of Tamaraga appeared nearby. Is this a coincidence?"

Haidu Aling's brows became tighter.

Yaoying did not tremble, and continued to open her eyes and talk nonsense: "I not only know Tamaraga, but also have a lot of friendship with him. The reason why I was willing to do business with Li Xuanzhen at the beginning was because I knew Tamaraga would send someone. Save me. You released my guard and sent me to Tamaraga, and I can persuade him to form an alliance with you."

Haidu Aling smiled: "Why should I reach an alliance with Buddha?"

Yaoying calmly said: "Wahan Khan will soon set up a covenant with Tamaragara not to break the river. When the Khan returns to the tooth tent, how can the prince, who does not have the blood of Wahhan Khan, compete with other princes? Are you willing to surrender to other princes?"

Haidu Aling put a smile away, and the exposed aura slowly receded, as if he was condensing anger, but a gloomy killing intent flashed in his eyes.

Gloomy and cold.

He is the most dangerous at this moment.

Yaoying was sweating coldly, and she glanced at Xie Qing from the corner of her eyes, and continued: "You let me go, and I persuade Tamaragarh to form an alliance with you. If Wakhan Khan dies, you will definitely be killed by other princes, why not Leave yourself a way out?"

Haidu A Ling didn't say a word, the long knife in his hand changed its direction and cut it down at Yaoying.

This woman guessed what he was thinking and couldn't stay!

The Hu women screamed in fright, and immediately hugged their heads to avoid them.

The icy cold light shrouded, Yaoying's whole body was soft, her fingers were deeply pinched into her palms, and she forced herself to face Haidu Aling: "Are you not afraid of Tamaraga's revenge for me?"

Haidu Aling's hand movement stopped.

At this moment, the horses' hoofs rattled, and several Beirong soldiers turned over and got off their horses, and hurriedly ran to the tent: "My lord, Khan wants to make a covenant with the Buddha!"

Haidu Aling was startled.

The soldier ran to the front, took out the letter, clasped his fists and said, "Khan has already set off for Shacheng, please go with the king."

Haidu Aling put away the long knife, took the letter, and found that it was the same as what Yaoying had just said.

Wakhan Khan was seriously ill. The witch doctor of the clan said that he was probably cursed by the Buddha. The army was panic. Wakhan Khan was helpless and decided to make peace with Tamaraga first. Bei Rong and Wang Tingjing did not offend the river. .

Of course, this is just a stopgap measure. If Bei Rong wants to conquer the Western Regions, he must conquer the holy city.

But how could Princess Wei know the prophet, knowing that the two countries will enter into an alliance?

Haidu Aling was shocked, but her face was not showing, she put the letter away, and glanced at Yaoying coldly: "Take her down."

No matter what weird the princess is, he must be very useful to keep her.

It would be better if she really knew Tamaraga.

Haidu Aling hurriedly left with the letter.

Before Hu Nu approached, Yaoying finally couldn't support her and fell to the ground softly.
