Thousand Miles of Bright Moonlight

The fire was blazing and smoke billowed.

Judging from the fire, the entire post house had already burnt to a disastrous state. Someone yelled and screamed in the fire, sorrowful and hysterical.

Yaoying thought of Xie Qing and other soldiers who had stayed in the post, dizzy, and a layer of cold sweat oozes from her back.

When the night wind blew, her body shuddered slightly.

A voice rang in my ears: "The people in the post are out of the city. The fire is set to warn us that someone has attacked at night."

It was so cold that there was no trace of smoke, and there was a calmness that could soothe the heart.

Yaoying let out her heart suddenly and let out a sigh of relief slowly. She believed in Sultan Gu, he didn't talk much, if he said so, she must have seven or eight points of certainty.

There must be an agreement between him and the soldier.

Yaoying slowly returned to her senses, "Did the night attackers come toward us? Did Yuchi Dharma leak the news?"

Sultan Gu shook his head.

A bright electric light flashed in her mind, and Yaoying was shocked, "They are here for Jin Bo! Is it possible that Haidu Aling has come to Gaochang?"

Yuchi Bodhidharma only knew that they were messengers sent by Tamaraga, but he did not know their identities. He was sleek, flexible and capable. He delivered the letter of credence to the royal court year after year. He used the words to be humble and would not offend Tamara for no reason. Jia, at least he wouldn't kill them before the secret meeting. The people who attacked at night should have another leader.

Yaoying can only think of Haidu Aling.

The ancient sultan said: "It may not be him who did it himself."

Yaoying nodded, thinking of the few domineering guards around Jin Bo, a thought quickly rose, and said: "Maybe Haidu Aling has arranged a killer by his side when Jin Bo leaves, and waits for Jin Bo to arrive. After Gaochang, the killer acted immediately. The Haidu Aling people in Beirong can not only wash away the suspicion, but also put the blame on Yuchi Dharma."

Wakhan Khan values ​​the honor of the descendants of the wolf tribe, and is unwilling to hurt people behind his back. Haidu Aling does not have this taboo. Besides, Jin Bo and the others have set traps to murder his life several times. If he hadn't been brave enough, it would have been a long time ago. Died in the hands of a few brothers.

A trace of horror flashed across Yaoying's eyes, and she muttered: "If Haidu Aling arranges a killer next to each prince..."

The princes concealed the fact that Wakhan Khan used reinforcements to get rid of Haidu Aling, Haidu Aling will stay in Beirong, and secretly send killers to lurking beside the princes.

In this way, he not only got rid of the opponent without knowing it, but also forced people like Yuchi Dharma to join hands with him. When Wakhan Khan reacted, he was already unable to save it.

Yaoying felt more frightened the more she thought about it.

Haidu Aling is ambitious. Once he replaces Wakhan as the new Beirong Khan, he will surely bring his troops to the Central Plains. I hope Xie Qing remembered her instructions and saved Jin Bo. Although Jin Bo was stupid, it might be useful for him to be the parents of Wakhan.

Sultan Gu turned his horse's head and took Yaoying through the empty lanes. He was responsive and could always avoid the guards.

There was a huge burning sound in the direction of the post house. The flames illuminated half of the sky. The snow on the roof tiles covered a layer of red dim light. Yaoying seemed to be able to feel the flames burning in the distance, and her cheeks were roasted. Hot.

While worrying about Xie Qing's safety, she wondered if Haidu Aling would have other conspiracies and tricks. She was in a daze. She didn't know how long it took before the sound of horseshoes suddenly stopped.

They stopped in front of a secluded house with two lights on the porch.

The lights flickered, and a person stood in the shadow under the hood. Hearing the horseshoe tap, the person quickly greeted him. It was one of the soldiers who stayed behind the post.

The soldiers first saluted respectfully and whispered a few words in Sanskrit.

Sultan Gun grumbled and dismounted first.

Yaoying shared a horse with him. When he moved, her back was suddenly blank, her body shook, and her whole body fell down.

The soldiers opened their mouths wide.

Yaoying was dizzy and weak. She wanted to struggle to stabilize her figure. She had already fallen, and she wondered in a daze: The thick snow in this place shouldn’t hurt to fall down, right?

The arms suddenly tightened, and a pair of holstered hands held her shoulders tightly to stop her falling.

Yaoying felt Sultan Gu Qing's thin and strong fingers holding her shoulders, her chin resting on top of her head, and a cold medicine smell on him.

The next moment, she threw herself into his arms.

Sultan Gu thought her feet slipped again, and helped her stand firmly, and immediately retracted the arms that were on her shoulders. Following his movements, she fell forward again, her beautiful body leaning against his arms, struggling. Trying to get up, but limp, weak and boneless.

Sultan Gu frowned slightly, looked down at Yaoying, and met her red eyes.

Her cheeks are flushed, her eyes are dim, her shoulders tremble slightly, like a spring pear blossom with rain, I see pity.

The soldiers stared at Yaoying, stunned: "The Regent... Princess Wen Zhao..."

Sultan Guta hugged Yaoying horizontally, turned and walked into the courtyard.

"She is sick."

He thought it was another temptation.

After the soldiers stayed for a while, Sultan Gu was hurriedly admitted to the hospital with Yaoying in his arms. The soldiers awake hurriedly, led the horse to follow up on the porch, turned around and buttoned the door, followed up into the main house, thought for a while, did not follow up in the inner room, and stood outside the screen with hands down and waited.

Sultan Gu walked quickly into the inner room of the South Room, put Yaoying down, looked down, and gently opened the sleeve of her wrist, putting his fingers on the exposed Xue Baihao wrist.

Yaoying was hot and cold, shivering slightly.

Sultan Gu looked at the fine sweat pouring out of her forehead, retracted her fingers, got up, walked around the screen to the outside, and asked the soldiers: "Everyone is out of the city?"

The soldiers clasped their fists and replied: "Back to the regent, just in the post house, the guard and dancer of the little prince Jinbo suddenly assassinated the little prince. The centurion followed the general's instructions and protected the little prince and escaped. I'm afraid that there will be assassins in the city, so I went out first. Only his subordinates and Alanruo were ordered to wait for the regent here."

...

Before entering the city, Sultan Gu ordered that if things change, everyone should withdraw from the Gaochang King City first. If there is nowhere to go under the martial law in the city, they can meet here in the courtyard. Alanruo is the one who guards this courtyard.

After the Sudanese people left tonight, the dancers dancing in the post hall suddenly flicked their arms, slid a sharp dagger from their sleeves, and rushed towards the drunk Jin Bo. Jin Bo's guards reacted and drew their swords to greet them. Suddenly, blood was splattered and the scene was full of knives and swords. The foreign merchants watching the singing and dancing were so scared that they screamed, yelled, cursed, yelled, and became a mess.

Seeing that Jin Bo was about to die with Hu Ji's sword, Xie Qing immediately drew out his saber and rushed out to save Jin Bo. Xie Chong and other guards helped to subdue the few Hu Ji.

Jin Bo almost splattered blood on the spot, feeling lingering, but he didn't wake up from the wine, holding on to Xie Qing's hand, yelling, "Thank you, this strong man for helping!"

Xie Qing shook off Jin Bo with a calm face, and the guards next to him laughed.

At this moment, something happened again, and Jin Bo's guard slashed towards his master!

Everyone on the field was stunned, and then a few Bei Rong guards violently violently, taking advantage of everyone's daze, they raised their swords and killed the companions around them, and their heads were grunting.

Jin Bo was chopped, blood gushing out, this time he was completely awake, and he screamed in fright.

At this time, there was the sound of horseshoes from outside the post house, and the bowstring vibrated.

The Hu businessmen have long since scattered and fled.

Xie Qing and the others looked at each other, suspecting that the guards around Jin Bo might have betrayed him, and they also had helpers. The post was not a place to stay for a long time. Without hesitation, they grabbed Jin Bo and rushed out.

The soldiers stayed and reminded the people on the royal court that after they fled the city, they set fire to the post and warned the people of Sultan to prevent them from falling into the trap of their opponents when they came back.

...

Only one oil lamp was lit in the main house.

Sultan Gu listened to the soldiers to briefly explain what happened tonight, and asked: "Is there a maid in the courtyard?"

The soldier froze for a moment, shook his head, and said, "This yard has always been guarded by Alan Ruo. Apart from him, there are only a few horses and two camels. There are no others."

Sultan Gu was silent for a moment, "Bring some hot water."

After speaking, he turned around the screen and walked into the inner room.

The guards stayed, and reacted: Princess Wen Zhao is sick and needs someone to take care of her, but her people just fled the city during the chaos, so the regent asked if there was a maid.

He went to Alan Ruo for a pot of hot water and sent it to the main house.

"The regent... his subordinates just asked Alanruo. The fire in the post has been extinguished. I don't know what the situation is on the palace. Just now, the guards went from door to door to issue a warning. Now the city has issued a martial law, as long as someone goes out. If you walk around, you will be caught and locked up."

In other words, Li Yaoying must survive tonight, late at night, don't ask the doctor to find the maid, as long as the door lock rang, the guard may follow the sound.

Sultan Gun said, and took the copper kettle: "Go find another clean dress."

The soldier said: "The regent, there are clothes in the mansion, but they are all men."

Sultan Gu had already turned around and entered the inner room, and his hoarse voice came out through the screen: "Bring it."

The soldiers should have found some changes of clothes, clean quilt towels, burned a few large buckets of hot water, and carried them to the main house together with Alanruo, and carried them into the inner room.

Behind the screen, a star like a bean light shook gently.

Sultan Gu stood in front of the bed, his figure clear and tall. The bed tents were densely surrounded, and I couldn't see the situation of Princess Wenzhao on the couch, but I could vaguely see the slim and slender figure of the woman on the bed, and the delicate gasp came out intermittently.

Alan Ruo couldn't help but raised his head and glanced at the bed, then a cold gaze swept over.

Sultan Gu glanced at him.

As if a basin of snow water poured down, Alan Ruoton shuddered, and quickly buried his head and retreated with his soldiers.

The door closed from the outside.

In the room, Sultan Gu turned around, facing the bed, raised his hand and raised the bed net.

The dim light fell on the bed, Yaoying lay sideways on the pillow, clasped her arms, curled up into a small ball, her collar was scattered, revealing a trace of dried snow, and the innermost clothes had been soaked with sweat and leaked out. The skin is snowy, the temples are sweaty, and the hair sticks to the cheeks, shimmering.

She was dimly aware, felt the light, opened her eyes, her thick eyelashes trembled, and said weakly: "It is troublesome for General Su...I am guilty of an old problem and it is not in the way."

Even at this moment, her voice is still soft and peaceful, dignified and calm.

"Did the princess forget to take the medicine?"

Sultan Gu asked.

Yaoying shook her head on the pillow, "It's not the time yet...I counted..."

She was born with deficiencies and took Ninglu pills every month. She remembered the day when she took the last time. She was on the way to Gaochang, only ten days ago. Tonight she always felt dizzy, a little feverish, and thought she was a guilty conscience, but she did not expect to have committed an old illness.

Sultan Gu then asked: "Does the princess have pills on her body?"

Yaoying hugged her arms tightly, her body trembled slightly, and she didn't speak.

Sultan Gu leaned over and sat on the couch and said, "The princess has always been cautious, and she must be carrying pills on her body."

Yaoying didn't say a word.

Sultan Gu asked, "Is the princess afraid that no one will look after the powder medicine?"

Yaoying's heart trembled, raised her eyes and looked at Sultan Gu.

His eyes met, his eyes were deep and quiet, as if looking down at her from the clouds, as if he could see through all her thoughts.

A light smile appeared on Yaoying's pale face, and she whispered: "It's okay, I'll just sleep for a while... I'll be fine after tonight."

Sultan Gu looked down at her: "I know a little about medicine, the princess doesn't need to hide it."

Yaoying was startled.

Sultan Gu calmly said: "Although there are differences between men and women, to me, the princess is just a patient. I am a disciple of Shaman, and I can take care of the princess. The princess does not have to be embarrassed and takes medicine."

His tone was cold, and he spoke word by word, like a quiet spring flowing across the rocky beach, cold and cold.

There is a kind of coercion, gentle, and powerful, which makes people breathless.

Yaoying felt uncomfortable all over, her eyes were sore, she clenched her arms tightly, and gave a low mumble.

Sultan Gu asked: "Where is the pill?"

Yaoying released her hand, fumbled for a while on her body, and found a small jade bottle.

Sultan Gu passed the jade bottle through her fingers, poured out a pill, lifted her chin with her fingers, and fed her down.

After the pill entered her abdomen, Yaoying's body gradually became hot.

She was soaked, she had to change into dry clothes and struggled to get up: "General, please help me..."

Sultan Gu helped her to get up, held her to the barrel, let her lean against and stand still, turned and retreated.

After a few footsteps, he stopped and stood upright in front of the door with his back facing the screen.

Yaoying couldn't see outside, so she didn't care about being ashamed, took off her clothes, twisted her kerchief laboriously, and wiped her body.

There was a charcoal fire in the room, she was dizzy, top-heavy, and limp. Just a few strokes made her breathless. Now Xie Qing is not by her side, Sultan Gu is another man... She bit her tongue, forced herself to wake up, hurriedly changed into the clothes on the side screen, turned and walked back.

Taking a step forward, the feet are soft, and the whole person falls to the ground softly.

With a heavy and dull sound, Sultan Gu Huoran, who was standing by the door, turned around, and when he walked to the screen, he paused, "Princess?"

Yaoying fell to the ground, her whole body hurts, gritted her teeth, she wanted to stand up, her palm was just resting on the ground, she felt the sky spinning before her eyes, and she felt sick and helpless in her abdomen, so she agreed softly.

The footsteps sounded softly, the figure swayed in front of the screen, and a pair of soap leather boots approached her little by little.

Sultan Gu leaned over to pick up Yaoying and put it on the bed.

Yaoying was exhausted, her whole body sore, and she whispered a thank you, her head had just touched the pillow, her eyes had been closed, her eyelashes trembling lightly.

Sultan Gu put her down, glanced over her scattered plackets, pulled the bedding over her, took her hand, gently rolled up the sleeves, and pulsed with her fingers.

She took the medicine and her pulse became more stable, but she had to survive the powder medicine tonight.

People like her who have taken medicine for many years will be hot and cold when dispersing the medicine, and they must stay in bed and wait for the medicine to dissipate.

Sultan Gu let go of Yaoying's hand.

Her palms were hot and sweaty, but her fingers were cold, her knuckles were like green onions, soft and slender, and roots like jade.

Sultan Gu paused, took Yaoying's hand and sent it back under the quilt, pulled the brocade quilt and covered it, fearing that the wind would leak in, his fingers pressed the corner of the quilt again.

He got up and put down the bed net.

There were a few knocks on the door, and the soldiers sent two bowls of hot vegetarian soup cakes and said: "The regent, there are only some wound medicines in the mansion, no other medicinal materials."

He was talking and peering inward on tiptoe.

The screen is blocked, and nothing can be seen.

The soldier was silent for a while, annoyed: "The Regent...I never heard that the princess will get sick...none time..."

After Princess Wen Zhao came to the palace, he was responsible for guarding the princess. From the palace to the Buddhist temple, he followed the princess. The princess always looked so bright and beautiful. Only in these two days, he looked a little haggard. He was only tired of the princess. , I didn't expect that the princess was sick.

Sultan Gu took the vegetarian soup cake without saying a word.

Of course Wang Ting Guards wouldn't know about Li Yaoying's illness, even the soldiers next to her.

The only person who knows that she must take medication every month is probably Xie Qing.

Beauty and weakness can win love and affection, but they can't be exchanged for respect and awe.

In this extraterritorial place far away from the Central Plains, the name of Princess Wei is like a phantom mirage, which will eventually fade away from the glories of nothingness. If Li Yaoying is weak and cowardly, a small soldier can do without hesitation. Betray her.

So she didn't dare to be cowardly.

She must always be calm and rational, always firm-willed, and always clear-cut, so that she can truly subdue her subordinates and gain their loyalty.

Now, her soldiers, the newly established caravan, are all loyal to her Li Yaoying, not Princess Wei.

She walked step by step and went through hardships.
