Murong paper on the snow mountain

The neighbor has a slender, agile cat who always likes to go to the balcony of his bamboo building to bask in the sun, and is not afraid of people, especially cute.Every time Murongzhi greeted it, it was always willing to come over, its squinting eyes enjoying happiness and the sinister curve of its mouth, inexplicably resembled someone who was by its side before.

Sometimes when holding it, watching it wriggling in his hands and meowing coquettishly, Murong Zhi can't help but secretly think, you...could it be that you cheated too much and were punished to be reincarnated as a cat? up?

If you can really reincarnate into a cat, you will have fewer worries than humans.

The balcony is downstairs, and the neighbors Uncle and his daughter are drying the millet.The girl sighed, the young master is going to come back late again in the past few days, Miss Huamiao has been missing for so long and still can't be found, the young master is busy looking for the Huamiao patriarch in the mountains and valleys every day, but he is very tired Woolen cloth.

Uncle shook his head and replied, the young master is originally from the Miao nationality, if he can become Huamiao's husband, he can regain control of the Miao family surname, if there is something wrong with the young lady at this juncture, it would be a pity.

The cat's paw gently scratched Murong Zhi's wrist.In the midst of the gloom under the eaves of the bamboo building, others suddenly shivered in a trance.

Ye Pu swore that the girl would never come again, so she... just disappeared?

Is it just a coincidence...?

Or……

Murong Zhi shook his head.It is impossible for a gentle child like Ye Pu to intentionally harm a girl who is only a little wayward.

Ye Pu didn't come back until midnight that night.He was covered in scars scratched by small branches and grass leaves in the jungle, and passed out from exhaustion as soon as he entered the village.

Murong Zhi dipped in clean water and wiped the wound on his body carefully, comforting himself that he must have thought too much.Ye Pu must also be very worried about the girl, that's why he helped the Hua Miao tribe to find her. Seeing that he has sunburned a lot in the past few days, and there is a deep crease between his eyebrows.

He is only seventeen or eighteen years old.Why are you so worried about things outside?

The body is also, recently lost too much weight.

I should... think about how to help him share his worries, how can I be cared for by him all day long, and still have doubts about him?

……

Thinking of this, Murongzhi began to ask the little girl downstairs about the cooking skills of the Tu nationality. He failed to fatten Ye Pu, but the leftovers successfully fattened the originally slender greedy cat.

"You should eat more. You've lost a lot of weight, what can you do?"

"It's okay, but there are too many things outside recently, and I'm really tired of coping, just get through this for a while." Ye Pu sat on the floor of the main building next to Murong Zhi, looking at the circle of trees above the seedlings. Yinyue closed her eyes and said with a slight smile, "I'm fine. When I think of returning home and having you by my side, I feel that all the hard work is worth it."

"Ye Pu is so busy every day, what are you busy with? I heard..." Murong Zhi's voice was slow, but he finally couldn't help asking him: "I heard people say that you want to unify southern Xinjiang?"

But only heard Ye Pu chuckle twice: "I just want to protect everyone."

"Does Master know? Throughout the southwestern states, all the princes are now fighting fiercely. Some people even say that the fourth prince, King Ying, has been set up to kill him. It is ridiculous that at this point, the emperor is still watching from the sidelines in the capital, saying what he wants." Using the southwest as a chess piece sand table, let the four princes compete for the world with their strengths, it is absurd, and indulge them to fight to the death and the victor will be the king."

"And the southern border where my Tumiaoshui and other tribes have lived for generations is the most fertile land in the southwest of Great Xia."

"Not to mention the flames of war are now on the sidelines, and several princes are eyeing this place. It is a peaceful and prosperous age, and Great Xia has always coveted this place. If I can't get all the tribes in southern Xinjiang to gather together and unanimously attack the outside world, how would the Southeast Vietnam land fall? Due to the hand of Daxia, how the people of Yuelu were exiled and became slaves of Daxia's lowly nationality for generations, and all ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang must follow suit."

"Master, I want to keep our village safe and peaceful like it is now. I want to keep you worry-free for the rest of my life and don't care about world affairs. That's why I have to think about unifying southern Xinjiang."

"Weak and small tribes can only be bullied if they don't unite. They are trampled, burned and killed by Daxia's iron hooves, but others can't even hear its cries. I will never allow the home we live in today to change. Be like that. Master, I must protect you and everyone."

"You just let me guard you. Trust me, rely on me, don't worry about me, okay?"

……

Murong Zhi nodded in a daze.

That night, he fell asleep with a peaceful heart.During so many nights in Miaojiang, it was the first time that I did not see the person who should not be remembered in my dream.

But that night was destined not to be a peaceful night.He was woken up by someone. He had seen the man next to the bed. He was one of the Tu warriors beside Ye Pu.But he had never spoken to this person in the past, let alone why he would sneak up by his bedside in the middle of the night.

"Palace Master Murong, Young Envoy Tang has an invitation, please follow me quickly!"

I have never heard him speak Daxia dialect so well.

"Who are you?" Murong Zhi was puzzled, secretly holding the "Snow Blade" under the pillow.The man didn't guard against him, but said in a low voice: "Young envoy Tang—Young Master Tang Ji, please call you over. He is now in the village, please follow me quickly, Palace Master Murong!"

"Tang Ji?" The long-lost name suddenly rang in Murong Zhi's ears, and under the dark moon, he looked puzzled, looking at the warrior in front of him in bewilderment.

"Young Envoy Tang said that if Palace Master Murong is suspicious, he can tell you that he once gave you a copy of "Dan Zhi Fang". This matter is rarely known, so as to prove his integrity. Palace Master Murong, this matter is very important. It's important, don't make a noise to let others hear it, just follow me quickly!"

The moon is dark and the wind is high.Murong Zhi followed the man on a night walk, passed by the small building where Ye Pu lived next door, and secretly glanced up, feeling mixed feelings in his heart.

The warrior took him to the deepest part of the village, the cage that Ye Pu said was used to keep some hunting livestock and beasts. The guards outside the gate looked like they were drunk.Murong Zhi followed the man into the dungeon covered by fire on the wall, but was surprised to see that there were no so-called beasts in the prison, but some ragged prisoners.

Going further in, it turned out that Tang Ji was sitting in the cage with disheveled hair. When he saw Murong Zhi approaching, he hurriedly made a silent gesture, and the warrior behind him turned around and went out to watch the wind, leaving Murong Zhi with a stunned expression on his face. Holding the railing of Tang Ji's cage, he half knelt down.

"Master, why are you here? Are you locked up here?"

Busily looking around Tang Ji's body, he saw deep scars on his shoulders, with hideous flesh and blood.

"Your injury...you can't let it go like this!"

"Murong! I don't care, but you—"

"Who locked you here, was it Ye Pu? Ye Pu did it, right? He should know you, but he didn't tell me about such a big thing? He, he—"

"Murong! You have to be very careful about that apprentice of yours." Tang Ji held the cage pole and leaned over Murongzhi's ear, his voice was low, but his words were clear.

"He is the man who became the king. According to my investigation, the death of General Xie may also be related to him. I heard that he brought you back to southern Xinjiang, so I came here to find you because I was very worried. Don't be fooled by him!"

Murong Zhi only felt a loud bang in his ear, and immediately shook his head completely.

"Nonsense, Ye Pu, how could he be the king of Cheng? Ye Pu, he... he is my apprentice, people have been listening to the Snow Palace, where can I recognize the king of Cheng?"

"Oh, Ah Li has been listening to the Snow Palace longer than him, so he is also a member of King Ning? If Ye Puruo has nothing to do with King Cheng, why do I hear that the Palace of Cheng Prince has promised to make him the King of Southern Border in the future? Order him to instigate all the tribes in southern Xinjiang to surrender and become king?"

Murong Zhi's face was blank, he was in a daze and didn't know what to say, but Tang Ji pressed his hand, looked into his eyes and said earnestly: "Murong, you need to know that Ye Pu is from the Heimiao Yeze tribe. It’s not the Tu people! It’s just because my eldest sister is the wife of the head of the Tu people that she can gain a foothold here. You can ask any villager and they will tell you the truth.”

Speaking of this, seeing that Murong Zhi didn't seem to understand, Tang Ji said anxiously: "The Yeze tribe of the black Miao! It is the Yeze tribe that was exterminated by the general of Zhenyuan Xie Lu under the order of King Ning to search for secret treasures! "

"...!"

"Since there is such blood and deep hatred, how could he not hate General Xie? The death of General Xie must have something to do with him! Murong, you have to think clearly—!"

"Oh, I hate that man. You're right."

The faint human voice came slowly from the end of the corridor accompanied by heavy footsteps, which suddenly startled the two of them in a cold sweat.

In the firelight on the wall, Ye Pu's amber eyes were reflected blood-red, but his face was still as usual, showing no joy or worry.Murongzhi was so frightened by Ye Pu's appearance that he couldn't move for a while, and was picked up from behind by him and held in his arms.

"But even if you hate that person, you still know that that person is only following orders! What is really abominable is that the Daxia royal family has no way to govern the country and is short of treasury, so they have to think about finding the secret treasure of the previous dynasty to make up for it; the really abominable is the so-called The 'intelligence officer' couldn't find treasure, so he had to fabricate false news, causing the massacre of my whole family!"

"Am I right? Huh? The lackey of Prince Ning's Mansion - Southwest intelligence officer Tang Shaoshi? You were the one who falsely said that the fragments of the secret treasure were in my Chonghuaze, which led to the killing of my whole family, didn't you?!"

"..." Murong Zhi's mind was completely messed up.

He stared blankly at Tang Ji, only to see that Tang Ji was ashamed, but more anxious than before.

"Murong, Maple Leaf Villa is indeed under King Ning's command, and I am also a member of Prince Ning's mansion. I have no intention of lying to you about this! But this person, this person colluded with King Cheng, and is suspected of killing General Xie. It is absolutely unbelievable. !Murong, I have traveled thousands of miles into Miaojiang just to bring you this sentence, Murong, don't trust people by mistake—”

"Master, I thought this person was your old friend, so even though he was the chief culprit who destroyed my home back then, I didn't have the heart to touch him, but unexpectedly he turned black and white here! It's ridiculous!"
