Clear and Muddy Loss of Love

Grassland wandering soul night raid

Some kind of decision made by people subconsciously is the closest to the true inner thoughts.

Maybe Qi Yan didn't realize it herself: unconsciously, her heart had gradually turned to Nangong Jingnv.The paradox is: she never thought of ending revenge, but faced with a sudden crisis, she couldn't help but miss the enemy's daughter.

Qi Yan: "So, tomorrow the Japanese officials will lead the guard of honor and set off for Ulan City..."

Anukin: "No, you can only go alone."

Qi Yan and Anukin looked at each other, and the other party explained again: "Go by yourself, or continue to wait."

Qi Yan smiled gently, no trace of dissatisfaction or doubt could be seen from the expression alone: ​​"Okay, I understand."

Qi Yan came out from Anujin's place and went directly to Ding You's place.

Ding You: "How is it? What did Anukin say?"

Qi Yan: "Tomorrow I will ask Qian Tong to look for you. If you come to my room and stay for a few days, you will say that I have a seasonal illness and need to rest and refuse to see guests."

Ding You: "What's going on?"

Qi Yan: "Just do as I say, and I'll talk about the rest when I come back. Remember not to let anyone know that I'm not in Yanran's mansion, whether it's life or death depends on this one time."

Ding You: "...What is the important matter? Can't even I say it?"

Qi Yan: "It's not to guard against you, but it's a long story, and it can't be explained clearly in a few words. If I don't believe you, I won't entrust life and death to you. I have other things to deal with. I'm leaving."

Ding You sent Qi Yan to the door: "Then what disease do I claim you have?"

Qi Yan: "Follow you."

……

Ding You chased to the door and watched Qi Yan leave without looking back.

Qi Yan went to Qian Tong's place again, and the other party reacted violently after hearing Qi Yan's plan.

Qian Tong: "No, it's too dangerous, the villain has to go with me!"

This is the first time that Qian Tong has spoken to Qi Yan so loudly since he followed Qi Yan. Seeing Qi Yan's slightly frowned eyebrows, he immediately knelt down: "This villain is not familiar with the place, I am really worried, please take me with you. Come on me."

Qi Yan helped Qian Tong up, and sighed softly: "If you leave with me, who will stay here to deal with it? Ding You alone is not enough, I must have someone to take care of me when I am sick and bedridden? Knowing that you are my close entourage, what will others think if I am sick but can't see you? Besides, Ding You alone may not be able to stop it."

Qian Tong: "But..."

Qi Yan: "I've made up my mind, you don't need to persuade me anymore."

Qian Tong: "Yes..."

Qi Yan turned around to leave, but Qian Tong stopped Qi Yan, took out a dagger from his arms and held it in both hands: "Master, take this with you, the villain can feel more at ease."

Qi Yan took the dagger, seeing that the boy's eyes were red, he couldn't bear it: "Go and prepare some dry food and water for me, and secretly send them to my room. It's enough for three days."

Qian Tong: "Yes."

Qi Yan returned to the room, sat at the table and fell into deep thought, her heart was extremely chaotic.

Why does Ji Ya want to see herself alone?Did Tuba collude with the masked man?

Is it Anukin who wants to rebel, or Nangongwang who wants to rebel?

This time, only two trustworthy people, Ding You and Qian Tong, were around me. How should I pass the news to Nangong Jingnv?

Regardless of Anukin's rebellion or not, and regardless of the outcome of this trip, it is always necessary for her to take precautions.

Qi Yan was obsessed with thinking about how to send news to Nangong Jingnv, and not let Anukin find out that he even forgot to plan his own affairs.

It wasn't until the knock on the door sounded again that Qi Yan regained consciousness.

Qi Yan: "Who?!"

Qian Tong: "Master, it's the young one."

Qi Yan: "Come in."

Qian Tong pushed the door open and walked in, with an astonishingly bulging bundle hanging on his arm.

Qian Tong put the burden on the table and untied it, and the things inside lost the shackles of the fabric, covering the table.

Qian Tong's expression was extremely serious, and he picked up a few porcelain bottles: "The green bottle is for repelling snakes and insects. If you want to sleep outdoors, please ask the master to sprinkle some on your body and on the ground. The white bottle is an external medicine for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Powder... just in case, the villain means just in case, the owner is injured. Use this. The yellow porcelain bottle is oral medicine for clearing away heat and detoxification. This piece of animal skin is bought by the villain. It can be spread on the ground. Clean clothes are worn on the body at night, these three oil-paper bags contain well-soaked mutton, this small cloth bag contains three days’ rations, a total of [-] sesame seed cakes, and here are a few firefoils, here are scattered pieces of meat. Silver and copper coins, don’t reveal your wealth when you are away from home! Also, the kettle is also installed..."

Qi Yan looked at the young man in front of him who was not as weak as an old lady begging him, and there was a feeling of family affection in his heart.

In this world, besides Xiaodie, Jingnv, and Ding You, there are people who really care about themselves and worry about their own safety.

Qi Yan didn't reject Qian Tong's kindness, and listened quietly to the other party's instructions before saying: "But there are too many of these things, and I'm afraid it will affect the itinerary if I bring them all. How about this, I will pick out a few necessary ones and bring them with me later." .”

Qian Tong opened his mouth: "The villain can send the master to the destination, and then come back day and night, it will definitely not affect the master's deployment."

Qi Yan had a flash of inspiration, Qian Tong's words reminded her!

Qi Yan: "Let me ask you, where is our nearest industry?"

Qian Tong thought for a while and replied, "There will be one after passing Luochuan."

Qi Yan: "Very good!"

……

That night, Qi Yan rode Jinhuanwu out of Yanran Mansion and headed north.

Early the next morning, Qian Tong also set off on his horse, heading south.

At noon, news that the imperial envoy fell ill spread throughout the entire entourage, and many people who came to visit Qi Yan were blocked by Ding You.

Soon everyone knew that the imperial envoy had contracted a serious disease, and the condition was very serious.

Some people say that Luobei is crude and lacks some life-saving medicinal materials. Master Qi's personal entourage has already rushed to Luonan overnight to get the medicine.

Qian Tong stayed by Qi Yan's side every step of the way, and the accompanying Wei people believed half of Qian Tong when they saw him, and when they saw the accompanying imperial doctor Ding You found a piece of white gauze to cover half of his face, and Qi Yan The courtyard where I stayed occasionally smelled of smoked vinegar, so I believed it all.

Moreover, Qi Yan's condition became more and more evil. Some people said that Qi Yan had smallpox, and others said that Qi Yan had acne...

As soon as this news came out, people who came to visit Qi Yan were completely extinct.

Poor Ding You sits withered in Qi Yan's room all day long, guarding the dummy under the quilt... not only has to cover his face with a thick cloth, but also endures the sour smell of vinegar in the air all the time.

This was the idea Qi Yan came up with after being reminded by Qian Tong. Qi Yan wrote a secret letter to Nangong Jingnv, and asked Qian Tong to memorize it word by word in front of her. Burned.

Qi Yan asked Qian Tong to go to the contact point in Luonan in the name of taking the medicine, to find a reliable person to send this letter together with his personal jade pendant to Princess Zhuohua's Mansion in the capital, and ask Nangong Shunv to deliver the letter to the palace. middle.

……

The night on the prairie is more gloomy than the one in the south, and there is a pale moon in the sky.One can vaguely see one person and one rider galloping wildly across the endless grassland in the darkness of night. The horseshoes stepping on the grass makes a unique sound, almost as if just hearing the sound, the figure has already flashed past.

Qi Yan fixed the package on the saddle, holding the rein with one hand and holding a wooden bow in the other. He was carrying a quiver on his back with more than a dozen arrows stuck in it. The arrows hit the bamboo tube and made a crisp sound. .

Qiyan Suhebalu once told the young Agula: the grassland night is very dangerous in this season, the more north you go, the more so.

The wolves on the grasslands are in the breeding season, and a large number of wolves will gather at night to look for food.

……

Suddenly, Jinhuanwu let out an uneasy neigh, and Qi Yan patted the horse's neck to comfort it.The Golden-eyed Crow told Qi Yan: It smelled a strange smell, which made it afraid.

The four-year-old Golden Ring Crow had never seen a pack of wolves before. It was afraid of disappointing its owner and resisted the fear in its heart. It had traveled several miles until the smell was so strong that it could not be ignored, then it neighed to remind Qi Yan.

In the silent night, the neighing of the horse could be heard far away, and the Golden Ring Crow raised its front hooves. This smell made it very uneasy.

Qi Yan pulled the rein and looked around.

A huge black shadow can be seen on their left side, it should be a certain city, a detour may alarm the soldiers on the city gate...

And the source of Jinhuanwu's uneasiness is their northeast direction, which is also the only way to Wulan City.

Qi Yan stood on the horseback and looked into the dark distance, tightened the bow in his hand, and took a deep breath: "Jinhuanwu, have you seen wolves?"

Jinhuanwu: "No."

Qi Yan: "Then do you dare to follow me?"

The Jinhuanwu immediately neighed, expressing its willingness.Qi Yan patted it on the neck: "Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, you'll go at full speed in this direction, no matter what happens, don't stop, I will protect you.」

Hearing this, Jin Huanwu raised his front hoof, and rushed towards the northeast like an arrow leaving the string.

Qi Yan let go of the rein, took out an arrow from the quiver behind his back with his free hand, clamped the saddle with his legs, and hooked his feet on the stirrups. The strength stabilized the figure.

With such riding skills, even if Nangong Jingnv practiced hard for ten years, she would be far behind.

Qi Yan has not ridden a horse for many years, so she is very unfamiliar with equestrian skills, but she has firmly remembered the essentials of horse riding taught to her by her father, and has the innate advantage of communicating with horses, so she can easily achieve the unity of horse and horse.

Just like what the High Priest of the Grassland said back then: Prince Agula has a gift from the gods and is destined to live on horseback all his life.

Therefore, many Pili people believed that their Prince Agula would inherit the throne of the Great Khan and lead the Plow tribe to dominate the grassland.Even though Agula was half of Southern blood, he had not been actually excluded.

Her mother cried a lot because of this, Furong thought: this kind of fate is not good for women, who would marry a man who spends all day with horses?

Suhebaru was both distressed and amused when he heard it. He hugged his crying wife and comforted him softly: "Don't worry, sister, this is the grassland, not the south. I can guarantee that our Agula will not worry about this matter." After Suhebaru finished speaking, he winked at Agula. At that time, Agula didn't understand what her parents were talking about. She also wanted to laugh with her father, but she didn't dare to see her mother crying.

Fu Rong wiped away her tears, and murmured in a low voice: "This time she must be pregnant with a son..."

Scenes of the past flashed through Qi Yan's mind, she hadn't recalled these things for many years, maybe it was a revisit to the old place, or it was rare to be alone, these days she even dreamed about the old things.

It's a pity that the grassland is gone, and everything is gone.

Agula failed to see the birth of his younger brother whom he had been looking forward to for many years, did not watch Xiaodie grow up, did not fulfill the promise he made with Bayin when he was married to Anda, and did not fulfill his father's will... nor did he fulfill the promise he made to Liuhuo.

Everything is gone... The current Agula is like a wandering soul with nowhere to turn, running alone at night on the grassland under the identity of a Wei countryman.

There was a sarcastic smile on his face: Now it seems that the high priest's prophecy is not accurate, so how can he spend his life as a soldier like this?

In the distance, there was a long wolf howl.
