Spicy rivers and lakes!
Chapter 22: Stepping on the snow and looking for plums
The two were silent for a while, he opened the curtain, looked out, and saw the endless mountains, endless.
Wang Sumin was driving a horse outside, when he heard the sound, he turned around and said, "Are you awake?"
When Li Dongqing saw him, he subconsciously touched his blindfold, but found that it was gone. He asked, "Why are you here?"
"After I left, the more I thought about it, the more something went wrong," Wang Sumin said, "I think you are lying to me."
Li Dongqing: "Then your reaction is not too slow."
Wang Sumin: "But at that time you were already dead, and someone wanted to arrest you, so I followed."
Li Dongqing asked: "What about the people who arrested us?"
"Look carefully," Wang Sumin felt that he was really blind, and said, "Look up."
Li Dongqing's head was still a little confused, and he turned his head to see, oh, there were four people standing lightly on the roof of the car, with a long, white motorcade behind him.Li Dongqing immediately stretched her head back.
Wang Sumin shouted from outside the car door: "Did you see it?"
"Have you seen a Taoist priest?" Li Dongqing began to slowly regain consciousness and asked, "A very powerful Taoist priest."
Wang Sumin: "No, when I went, it was only you, Ning and Chen."
Li Dongqing felt weird, he didn't know who that man was and what he came for.When I first entered the rivers and lakes, I have already met many masters. These people have their own plans in their hearts, and they look very mysterious.Li Dongqing said to himself: "Anyway, they didn't come to kill me."
Ning Hechen asked, "What did you say? What Taoist?"
"You may not remember, I can't beat so many people by myself, there is a person who helped me, but I don't know him," Li Dongqing confessed, "Oh, let's start from the beginning, I was in a restaurant in Yanmen As a handyman, the shop was contracted by the government to cook porridge for the common people. The officials in the county were unwilling to do the work of giving, so they returned it to us to do it. When I was giving out, I met a Taoist priest from the south. Seeing that he was very cold, I gave him a padded jacket that was distributed to the common people. I thought he was an ordinary Taoist priest sent by the emperor to comfort people, but I didn’t expect him to help me a lot later, he is a master.”
Li Dongqing babbled a lot, Ning Hechen listened patiently, thought for a while, and said: "The Taoist priests in the south, could it be that they came down from Mount Heng?"
"Guo Xie said the same thing!" Li Dongqing said happily.
Ning Hechen smiled, and said: "That's [-] percent, you can make friends, the five mountains, Mount Heng, are like a cloud of masters."
Seeing Ning Hechen this time, Li Dongqing always felt a little strange.Ning Hechen stopped being angry with himself, instead he always smiled at him.Recalling that before, when Ning Hechen was very kind to him, it was because he was going to be unlucky, Li Dongqing felt a little nervous.
Knowing what situation he was in now, of course he wanted to run away. Li Dongqing gave him a wink, implying whether he could beat it, but Ning Hechen held his hand, opened it, and showed him the thin, chain.Li Dongqing had rough skin and thick flesh, so she didn't even feel the chain.Ning Hechen said: "The refined iron used by the people outside the Great Wall has its own forging process. The swords of the Han people will break when they touch the scimitars of the Huns. We are mortals."
Li Dongqing took a look, and it turned out that Ning Hechen also had them.The chain passed through the seat and went nowhere.Ning Hechen patted him and comforted him, "Since you're here, you'll be safe."
This didn't seem like what Ning Hechen would say, Li Dongqing smiled and said, "I thought you were in a hurry."
"I have nothing to worry about." Ning Hechen said.
Li Dongqing wanted to ask, but she didn't want to, so she remained silent.Instead, Ning Hechen asked first, "Why did you go to Yanmen?"
"I'll just go for a walk," Li Dongqing said, "I've escaped this crisis, and I still want to go back to my own life. How about you?"
Ning Hechen smiled and shook his head.
Li Dongqing thought that he was in trouble, and didn't want to say it, but in fact, he could guess it, so he hurriedly said: "If you don't want to count it, it's okay, it's okay."
"I heard from the Yangtze River that when you came out of Liaodong, you thought you were going to Shanggu Yuyang." Ning Hechen said slowly, "I happened to be fine, so I just walked around and I might meet you. In fact, I just passed Yanmen. "
Li Dongqing: "..."
Li Dongqing asked bluntly, "Are you looking for me?"
"You can say that." Ning Hechen thought it was funny.
Li Dongqing was instantly happy. He always thought that he was not Ning Hechen's friend, but now it seems that he is not!
Ning Hechen said casually: "When I arrived at Yanmen, I wanted to drop by and go home. I saw my mother, my cousin, and the old housekeeper. The house is just like yesterday, and life is pretty good. My mother cooked a lot of dishes. I also handed over a bowl of water and wine, although I had some premonitions in my heart, I took it and drank it in one gulp."
This is not much different from what Li Dongqing thought.Your biological mother wanted your life, and if it was Li Dongqing, he would have given it too.
Ning Hechen said: "It's not that I live for them. Think about it carefully, my father is such a staunch person who is dedicated to protecting the Lord. If he knows what I have done today, I am afraid that he will not tolerate me."
Li Dongqing didn't know where to start to persuade her, but for a long time, she said, "But you didn't do anything big and evil. Your mother didn't want to kill you because of what you did, but because you were punished by the court." It's just coercion."
"They're all the same." Ning and Chen said, "Aren't they all the same?"
Li Dongqing wanted to say, is this different?But he also understood that in Ning Hechen's eyes, his biological mother had already abandoned him, killed him, beheaded him, and drained his blood.His flesh and blood is gone.Li Dongqing is someone who would be grateful if others gave him a little light, but Ning Hechen had to treat him wholeheartedly and risk his life for him in order to take this person to heart.
Think about it carefully, didn't Huo Huanghe, Ye Amei, and Li Dongqing all risk their lives for Ning Hechen?
Now, Ning and Chen didn't have anything to worry about, he looked the same as when they parted that day, but his face was a bit ugly, both of them looked bitter.Li Dongqing said: "Are you tired? Why don't you take a nap."
Ning Hechen shook his head, leaned against the wall of the car, and didn't speak, but felt relieved.
The two of them have been separated for so long, and after talking about this topic, they have nothing to say.Want to ask what have you experienced?There is nothing good to say.When he and Ning Hechen got along with each other before, they didn't talk very much, but staying here today, Ning Hechen sat quietly beside him gave Li Dongqing a feeling that he would not leave.Li Dongqing's rare peace of mind, but also some joy.
"Oh!" Li Dongqing suddenly remembered something, he suddenly opened the curtain of the car, and was about to introduce Wang Sumin, but the big singer thought he was going to run away, so she landed on the door of the car and asked, "What's the matter?"
Li Dongqing was startled, not knowing that she was there the whole time, and said, "It's nothing."
The big singer said, "It's coming soon."
Wang Sumin greeted Ning Hechen by himself, and said to Li Dongqing: "This hero didn't say a word to me all the way. If I hadn't heard him speak Hun language in Wang's tent, I really thought he couldn't speak at all."
Li Dongqing said with a smile: "This is Wang Sumin, who used to lead troops under Yi Zhixie's subordinates."
Ning Hechen shook his head wearily, rubbed his eyes and said, "Got it."
Li Dongqing said to Wang Sumin: "Since you two already know each other, I won't say much."
"Oh," Li Dongqing glanced at the big singer and asked, "What's the matter?"
Big singer: "..."
Ning and Chen leaned against the window frame, smiled lazily, then turned their heads and said, "The big singer is waiting for you to ask her where and what you are going to do."
Only then did Li Dongqing think of this incident, not to say that he didn't care, but because he knew that nothing good would happen, so he didn't report any expectations, and planned to talk about it when the disaster was imminent.When Ning Hechen said it at this time, he asked, "What on earth did Little Yueshi want me for? I have nothing to do with you."
The big singer sat across from the two of them, raised her wrist, and her sleeves were neatly draped on her lap: "It really has nothing to do with the Central Plains. It is your life, which has already been bought by us. When you are 16 years old, someone I will pick you up, you just turned sixteen this year, although there were some twists and turns, the result is still the same."
Ning Hechen reacted greatly, and immediately asked, "By whom?"
"Our queen," said the big singer, "bought [-] people with ten thousand gold, set off from Daijun, Dongou, Yanmen, Liaodong, and Langya, with a small amount of luggage, pretending to be disaster victims, Traveling long distances, wandering around Linjiang, and living here, Qilao Village was formed. One year later, you were born."
Ning Hechen changed his expression and looked at Li Dongqing, but Li Dongqing didn't respond.
Da Ge's goddess still asked indifferently: "Do you know why your name is Li Dongqing?"
Ning Hechen said: "The fortune teller took it, what's the matter, it's also related to your Yue family?"
"There is a kind of eagle in this world, which flies the fastest and highest in the world." The singer raised her chin slightly, unconsciously showing some solemnity, "Only one eagle can be born out of a hundred thousand. It can travel thousands of miles alone, and it can endure hunger for 20 days after eating once. The emperor can't ask for money, and he is called the "God of Eagles."
The big singer said: "The most handsome one who carved Liaodong is called Haidongqing."
Ning Hechen had obviously heard of this legend, but Li Dongqing had also heard of it. The great wilderness and nine phoenixes billowed from the sky, frightening the sky and suppressing the clouds. It turned out that Yuezhi also believed in this.
Li Dongqing said: "It's not that I don't believe it, but shouldn't you show some evidence now?"
"What proof do you want?" the big song girl said, "My sons and daughters of the Yue family have not been afraid of severe cold since birth. Let me ask you, have you ever been afraid of extreme cold since you were young?"
"Five years ago, the Queen Wang Zhi wanted to kill you, but she killed your parents by mistake and left you alone. Do you really still think that she was merciful and spared your life? You lived to be 15 years old safely, do you know?" For these 15 years, how many people died for you?"
Li Dongqing's head was empty, and she understood a lot.The Yuezhi people didn't intend to kill him in Qilao Village, but when he arrived in the Xiongnu grassland, he seemed crazy when he was in Yizhixie's king's tent.At that time, if he really surrendered to Yi Zhixie, the Yue family would have to take his life. Sometimes the position of a person is more valuable than this person. Li Dongqing can die, but even if he dies, he cannot be loyal to the grassland .
The big song girl said: "Your mother is the daughter of Queen Yuezhi. The head of King Yuezhi that Lie Jiaomi cut off was not the head of anyone who had nothing to do with you, but your grandfather. The princess of our clan will stay in Chang'an forever. , marrying Liu Rong is just to hope that Liu Rong will ascend the throne in the future and can lend a helping hand to the Yue family, but who would have thought that he would die so quickly? Do you think that an abolished former prince and Linjiang king can shade you? It's been so long? It's just hateful. That year, our country fell apart. One line went north from Dunhuang, crossed Dawan, and moved to Lake Issyk-Kul. The rest of us, from Qilian Mountains, went south to Dongou Kingdom Gou An. There is no way to recover, so I can only leave you in the Central Plains."
In winter, migratory birds fly south to avoid the cold winter, but in March, the birds will eventually return to their homeland.Li Dongqing thought that his lead wire was broken, it was a kite floating randomly, and he had persuaded himself to recognize the world as his hometown, but the other end of the string was suddenly caught again, dividing home into yours and mine and his.He wasn't happy at all.
Ning Hechen said, "What do you want Li Dongqing to do? You forgot, he also has a name, Liu Zhuo."
"Lie Jiaomi is a descendant of the Kun people, and he is still loyal to the Huns. Whoever raises him should live for him." The big song girl felt that Ning and Chen were just a rock with no human feelings at all, and said, "I am a The three sons and daughters of Queen Shi died on the battlefield, under the horseshoes of the Huns, and they killed tens of thousands of enemies, leaving only Li Dongqing as a descendant."
Ning Hechen laughed mockingly, and the singer said quietly, "Is it ridiculous?"
Ning Hechen said, "It's ridiculous."
The big show girl didn't speak anymore, she was offended by Ning Hechen and also hurt by his words.Ning Hechen's mouth is too powerful, Li Dongqing has already experienced it, so he doesn't care if you have any pain points.It's just that his position has changed now, and Ning Hechen is not talking about him, but Li Dongqing still feels a little worried.
"Okay." Ning Hechen was still leaning on his body. He might be really tired, but that didn't prevent him from being quick-witted and knowing how to poke people's pain. "What do you think the world is like today?"
The singer was silent.
"Then do you think, can you win the grassland from the hands of the Huns, or the Central Plains from the hands of Emperor Wu? Li Dongqing is a mortal, no matter how brave he is, he can defeat tens of thousands of elite soldiers? You have made it clear , I just want him to accompany you to die."
"A heavy soldier dies with shame," said the big song girl. "The family and the country have not been restored. Whose family son didn't survive like this? The son used [-] elite soldiers to avenge his father. It doesn't seem like someone who doesn't understand."
Ning Hechen laughed: "Haha!"
Seeing the tense atmosphere between the two, Li Dongqing took Ning Hechen with one hand, put it on his hand, and comforted him, "Forget it."
Ning Hechen grabbed it with his back, pulled him behind, and said, "Huo Xunli, don't think I'm afraid of you."
Huo Xunli said, "Ning Hechen, I'm not afraid of you either."
But Li Dongqing was afraid, and he must not fight, not because of emotion, not because of reason.So he said: "Don't... don't be angry, brother, she saved our life, so it should be treated as a favor."
Ning Hechen said angrily, "Do you still deserve this favor?"
Li Dongqing had nothing to say.
Ning Hechen let him go and said, "If you want to pay it back, what am I going to do to stop you!"
Why did it start again?Li Dongqing hadn't enjoyed his good face for a moment, and he angered people again. He had no choice but to say: "Then, what should we do?"
Huo Xunli said: "Ning Hechen, I didn't expect you to repay your kindness, but my family saved your life, you should remember."
"Your prince remembers it very well," Ning Hechen said with a sarcasm, "You just need to remind him, can I still let him go?"
Li Dongqing looked bitter, feeling helpless.Of course he knew that Ning Hechen was doing it for his own good, but how could he, Ning Hechen himself, be able to choose and not take it to heart?Li Dongqing felt in a dilemma, but he also vaguely felt that Ning Hechen would not abandon him.
Huo Xunli stood up and confessed to Li Dongqing: "This is not a matter for you to decide on your own. You can only go back to Dong'ou Kingdom with us. If you don't, you will give your life back to Yuezhi."
Ning Hechen frowned fiercely, and Li Dongqing quickly said, "Okay! I got it, and I'll send you the singing girl!"
Huo Xunli glanced at the two of them again, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, turned around, opened the curtain and left.Li Dongqing thought that she should be his disappointment.What sincere courtier would wish that the prince was a coward?Li Dongqing was too indecisive, and he obviously cared more about Ning Hechen's thoughts than Yuezhi's.
Li Dongqing thought that Ning Hechen would be angry for a long time, but Ning Hechen lifted the curtain and looked at the snowy scene outside. Ning Hechen's eyelashes seemed not very dense, but long, and the roots were distinct when he lowered his eyes. Very delicate.Li Dongqing looked at it and thought: "Those who praised Wei Zifu's beauty, have they seen Ning Hechen?"
Li Dongqing's knowledge about beauties is really poor. He only heard that Wei Zifu is a great beauty, so he always compares her with her. Before he knew it, he thought that Emperor Wu took a fancy to Wei Zifu because he had a crush on Wei Zifu from a dozen women. she.But Ning Hechen is outstanding even if there are hundreds or thousands of people. If he is a girl, it will be really amazing.
Ning Hechen didn't know what he was thinking, but he was still telling him: "What people are most afraid of is affection. Breaking up and leaving is the biggest rule in the world. If you put too much emphasis on affection, you will not go far."
Li Dongqing understood what he meant, but didn't know what to say.He wanted to say: "You know it clearly, don't you always suffer from this?"
Who doesn't understand the truth?But not everyone can do it.But he couldn't say that Ning Hechen wanted Li Dongqing to stop suffering like this after he suffered such a loss, but there was really no way, people had to suffer by themselves.Saying it hurts Ning and Chen's heart.
Li Dongqing was silent for a moment, Ning Hechen glanced at him, and stopped talking.
"You look so tired," Li Dongqing asked, "Have you not slept these days?"
Wang Sumin drove the horse outside the car and said, "Three days."
"Go back to bed later," Wang Sumin said again, "We will be there soon. Liu Zhuo, you said you wanted to be friends with me, how do you settle this account?"
Li Dongqing had no choice but to settle the matter first, and said, "I said to be friends, so are we friends?"
"We Xianbei people must make it clear," Wang Sumin said, "I did as you said, and you have to respect my rules. You lied to me, let the past go."
Li Dongqing lifted the curtain and glanced at him, Wang Sumin turned his head and asked displeasedly: "What's wrong?"
Li Dongqing stretched out his hand to him, Wang Sumin froze for a moment, and made a fist with him, Li Dongqing squeezed his fist hard, and said, "Okay."
Wang Sumin seemed to be naive, a little speechless, turned around and drove the horse.
Li Dongqing sat back in the carriage, seeing Ning Hechen resting his eyes with his eyes closed, he leaned closer and then closer.Ning Hechen opened his eyes, glanced at him, and asked again with his eyes: "What's wrong?"
Li Dongqing patted himself on the shoulder: "It's comfortable to rely on me."
Ning Hechen glanced at his thin bones, sneered, and ignored him.
Li Dongqing leaned over meanly: "Are you worried about me?"
"I have insomnia," Ning Hechen said, "Go away."
Li Dongqing said: "It's fine if you lay your pillow on me. During the two nights on the grassland, I lay on your lap and slept soundly."
Ning Hechen said, "When did you not sleep soundly? When the sky falls, you will be covered by a quilt."
Li Dongqing smirked twice, Ning Hechen leaned on the side with folded arms, and closed his eyes slightly to take a nap. It was a peaceful moment, only the sound of horseshoes, and Li Dongqing didn't bother him anymore. After a while, Ning Hechen asked: "What happened to the wound on the face?"
Li Dongqing touched it and said, "I was stabbed by an arrow and left a scar, but my eyes are fine."
Ning Hechen stretched out his hand and touched the scar. After the blood scab fell off, it left a white mark on his face. Li Dongqing still knew how to take medicine, and there was a bigger scar on his back, which was so ugly. Very, the face is already considered good.
Ning Hechen's hands were a little cold, they put them down and retracted them into their sleeves, and asked casually, "Who hurt it?"
Li Dongqing thought for a while, and then said, "That man is already dead."
Ning Hechen glanced at him, and said after a while, "Oh."
Wang Sumin said from outside: "Oh what? He has already killed someone, and he wants me to avenge him."
Ning Hechen didn't bother to answer, and didn't say anything, Wang Sumin asked Li Dongqing again: "Brother, can't he hear me?"
Li Dongqing: "..."
How good-tempered Ning Hechen is!Really offend people everywhere.
The further south the carriage went, the less snow there was.In the afternoon, there was no snow on the road, but the weather was wet and cold, which made people uncomfortable.Li Dongqing didn't know why, but he always felt that since the snow was still falling, he seemed to be still in Saibei, or at least part of his soul was left in Saibei.The snow was still falling on him, and he couldn't shake it off.
The city gate of Dongou Kingdom was wide open, and he got off the carriage, and saw nearly a hundred people standing on the city wall, all wearing light gauze and thin clothes, with good looks and deep eyes.It seemed that it was because they were on Yueshi's territory, the big singer untied the iron chains from his and Ning Hechen's hands, and looked up.
Li Dongqing lost his mind, as if he saw a familiar face, the man dodged for a while, Li Dongqing caught up with her eyes, and saw clearly that it was Huang Yatou.Much more beautiful.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly felt that many things were boring.He just turned 16 this year and has been cheated for 15 years.Although he was calm and calm in front of Huo Xunli, as if nothing happened, even he himself felt that it was nothing.But when he saw his childhood playmate standing on the city wall, wearing Xiao Yueshi's beautiful clothes, he suddenly felt a sting.
One deception after another uncovered one layer after another, and it turned out that freedom never existed.
The carriage slowly entered the city. Li Dongqing had just come back from the border crossing, and saw that the people in the city looked at ease and walked on the road without any haste.For a while, I felt a little unaccustomed, as if in a dream.
The battle at the border was tense, and the Huns invaded many times. They didn't know when they would rush into the city, hacking and killing with machetes. Therefore, there were no vendors on the streets of the border, and thick gates and walls were installed in wine shops and pawnshops. It can be closed tightly.
Although it is in the same world, there is such a big difference.
A man came out to welcome him, wearing white clothes and a silver bracelet, and said respectfully, "The big song girl."
Huo Xunli said, "Unload the things in the convoy."
The man smiled at Li Dongqing and the others, but Wang Sumin turned away with his arms around his shoulders and looked like he didn't care about me.Ning Hechen also looked indifferent.Li Dongqing smiled back, and the man said, "You don't remember me!"
Li Dongqing: "?"
The man said: "I used to play with you when I was a child. We flew kites together on the hill in front of the village. But then my mother missed me so much that she took me back."
"..." Li Dongqing looked at this face, and seemed to have a little impression, and asked tentatively, "You...were eaten by a tiger?"
"That's right!" the man said happily, "This story is a bit long, but it's actually like this. I happened to be going home at the time, but you were always running up the mountain at that time, and your parents at that time were still ours. , just let them scare you."
Li Dongqing: "..."
The man said: "My name is Huoxun Changming. I used to be called Ah Fu."
Li Dongqing said: "Ah Fu, no, Huoxun Changming, it's good that you are still alive, long time no see."
Huo Xunli came over and said: "The Yuezhi people in your village are almost all women and children. One is for you, and the other is to survive. Lie Jiaomi did not let us go, and there will still be wars to this day. , Those people were unable to protect themselves, so they all went to beggar villages. At first your parents did too, but they died at the hands of Wang Zhi, and then Lin Xueniang stepped in and adopted you. We don't want you to live Knowing the truth earlier, she kept silent and let you live under her hands."
Li Dongqing actually didn't really want to know these things, so he insisted, "So that's how it is."
Ning Hechen said: "What do you eat? Where do you live? Your prince hasn't eaten anything for three days, and you want me to remind you?"
Huo Xun Changming remembered it now, and hurriedly said: "Come on, come on, it's already been prepared, let's go directly to the table!"
The Eastern Ou Kingdom is not the territory of the Yuezhi, in fact, it belongs to the Han Dynasty, but it is far away from Chang'an, a small country with few people, and the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so it has its own set of rules.It has been almost ten years since the king took in Xiaoyue's lineage, and the country has been prosperous and the people have been peaceful, without causing any disturbances.There are always things between people to continue, whether it is blood or favor. Nearly a hundred members of the Xiaoyue clan have also been on the Golden Stage. They are martial arts masters and have also defended Dongou against the invasion of many small neighboring countries.It was only after arriving here that Li Dongqing realized that the 32 people living in Qilao Village last time were actually a serious blow to them.
The king of the Eastern Ou Kingdom was also called the King of the Eastern Sea, and his name was Ouyang Yao. He invited everyone to a banquet, sat on the top seat, raised his wine cup high, and said, "Congratulations to your family for finally getting your wish!"
Huo Xunli smiled slightly, raised the wine cup with both hands, drank it all, and said: "My lord, the Yue clan is today because of your kindness. I don't thank you for your kindness. I, the Yue clan, never talk empty words. , the kindness of the newspaper is kept in my heart."
The king was over fifty years old, with a benevolent complexion, slightly fat, and the areas of his face without wrinkles were as smooth as freshly baked steamed buns. He waved his hands and said, "Don't mention this today!"
He looked at Li Dongqing, felt happy, and said, "Oh, what a small doll. I often hear Li Li talking about you. At the beginning of the year, Li Li said that you are 15 years old and you are going home."
"It's already a new year!" Huoxun Li Rou said, "He's already 16 years old."
Ouyang shook his forehead, smiled and said: "I always forget! Alas, I am almost 70 years old! Time flies really fast. Baby, let me tell you, I seem to remember when I was a boy like you, Let's attack Qin together with Chen Sheng and Wu Guang!"
Li Dongqing was startled by his words, he forgot to drink the wine when he picked it up, Huo Xun Changming looked at him in surprise, and said: "The King of Donghai is an old minister, and Gao Zu also contributed a lot when he ascended the throne. A true young hero. "
Li Dongqing is ashamed of herself, ashamed of herself.
Ouyang Yao said with a smile: "It's all over, time flies, the past Qianfan seems to be in front of my eyes, but in a blink of an eye, I have reached the twilight years, and the loess has been buried to the root of my neck. When I saw this doll today, I remembered Myself. Oh, I'm disgusting!"
Li Dongqing said: "I heard from my mother that life was the happiest when I was a teenager, but people are always dissatisfied and want to live a better life. They work hard, and when they turn around, they are no longer young."
"That's right." Ouyang Yao tasted it with a slight smile, and then asked, "Which mother of yours said that?"
Li Dongqing: "..."
After finishing speaking, Ouyang Yao was stunned for a moment, laughed again, punished himself with a glass, and said, "I'm being rude again, I'm old and I can't speak anymore!"
But Li Dongqing smiled slightly, and even Ning and Chen found it interesting.Although the king of Eastern Europe is 70 years old, he looks open-minded and straightforward. He doesn't look like a king, but a knight-errant.
"I think you have been taught very well," Ouyang Yao drank a pot of wine and sighed again, "Li Lihe should be relieved. She always stands on the city wall looking north, looking at her hometown, and also looking at the exile A wanderer outside."
Huo Xunli said, "There is no such thing."
Ouyang Yao laughed again: "Okay, okay! If you say no, then there won't be. Being an old man is just blind!"
Li Dongqing was complicated in her heart, but she still smiled and said: "I also offer a toast to King Donghai, thank you for taking care of me!"
Huo Xunli really laughed in his heart now.
The singer was playing the piano in the hall, the dancer was dancing, and Qu Bi came down again to pour wine for everyone. Ning Hechen didn't like to drink, so Li Dongqing took the glass in front of him and drank it for him. A girl walked over with a jug in her arms. He Chen covered the wine cup with one hand to prevent her from pouring it, and his eyes signaled to wait for others.
The girl blushed instantly, panicked, turned around hastily, Li Dongqing walked her down the steps, and said, "Refill it for me, thank you."
Ning Hechen showed no expression, Li Dongqing smiled and leaned over to talk to him: "The mutton here is delicious, you can try it."
"It's fishy." Ning Hechen said.
"It's okay," Li Dongqing said, "You can try it again."
Ning Hechen was very stubborn and didn't want to eat any more.Li Dongqing always felt that Ning Hechen was a picky eater and ate less, but he couldn't force him to coax Ning Hechen into eating. , It's not that I'm unhappy, but I'm a little sad.
Ning Hechen listened and glanced at him.
The singing girl filled up the wine, bowed and stepped back, Li Dongqing said casually, "Oh thank you."
The singer nodded lightly, the drums and the piano sounded, and she returned to the front of the hall, and the singing and dancing started again.
The rules of Eastern Ou Kingdom are not strict, and the ritual and music system is not so strict. At the banquet, everyone is free to move around. Many Yuezhi people toasted Li Dongqing, so Li Dongqing had to avoid the banquet. I'm overwhelmed with alcohol, I haven't had a few drinks since I was a child, and I feel dizzy.Ouyang Yao decided that singing and dancing was a little annoying, so he said, "Stop dancing."
There was a singing girl sitting beside Wang Sumin, and she was about to lean into his arms when she leaned closer. Wang Sumin hid outside, but the singing girl fell to the ground and sat down.He sat impatiently, looked at Li Dongqing's face several times, and wanted to leave the seat, the Huns never liked this kind of thing, they just got to drink and eat meat, but they couldn't get up from this seat once they sat down.He became more and more impatient, Li Dongqing had to pretend not to see.
In front of Li Dongqing, Ning Hechen put a chopstick of mutton into his mouth, and said, "It's fishy."
Li Dongqing: "..."
Ouyang Yao walked down, stood in front of Li Dongqing, and said, "Let me take a good look at you."
Li Dongqing hurriedly stood up, actually already a little drunk, Ouyang Yao pointed to his right eye, where Li Dongqing was injured, and said: "Men are all injured."
Li Dongqing nodded, swayed her feet, was supported by Ning Hechen, and sat back.Li Dongqing said: "I'm really sorry..."
"Hahaha," Ouyang Yao said, "You are still far behind!"
Li Dongqing shook her head and said, "Oh, there is no way."
He leaned on Ning Hechen, Ning Hechen changed the wine into tea, Ouyang Yao looked at him, and asked with a smile: "You are Mr. Xueman, right?"
Ning Hechen handed the tea to Li Dongqing's mouth, and Li Dongqing took two sips with his hand, and sat up straight again.Ning Hechen said, "King of the East China Sea."
Ouyang Yao sat in front of them and said: "Meeting is fate, I will play the piano for you."
After finishing speaking, before everyone could speak, he asked someone to bring the qin. He sat cross-legged on the ground, some old hands rested on the qin, and played two notes. Then, some old voices chanted in a low voice: The clouds are flying—Vega is home and home, and the hometown is—and the warriors are guarding the four directions."
Li Dongqing was slightly lost in thought. He had memorized this poem for many years, and today, in the mouth of the King of the East China Sea, he thought of Yueshi's fate for decades, and finally felt a little touched.Perhaps Gaozu's heart, he still doesn't understand.
After Ouyang Yao sang, everyone stood up and praised. Ouyang Yao said to Li Dongqing: "Chang'an City is full of warriors, and the Emperor Wu and the Empress Dowager are like stars supporting the moon. Chang'an City does not lack you, but there are places that desperately need you .”
Li Dongqing understood what he meant, but still couldn't nod his head.Ning Hechen said, "He's drunk."
Ouyang shook his head with a smile.
The winter in the south is not so dry and cold, but it is still not warm. When Li Dongqing came here for the first time, he still felt uncomfortable, feeling cold and humid.
Ning Hechen was wearing a wolf fur cloak, standing on the city wall, with his hands on the bricks, as if he was thinking about something.Li Dongqing supported the wall and walked up the stairs. Ning Hechen didn't turn his head. Li Dongqing still felt dizzy. Standing beside him, the wind blew over and he felt a little more awake.
After a while, Li Dongqing still couldn't hold back, and asked directly: "Are you going?"
"What about you?" Ning Hechen asked back, "Are you leaving?"
Li Dongqing smiled wryly and said, "Where can I go?"
He always felt in his heart that Ning and Chen were unattainable and could not catch up.Ning Hechen couldn't figure out what he wanted, and Li Dongqing didn't know what he wanted.
Ning Hechen said, "You've lost a lot of weight."
"It's dark too." Li Dongqing smiled and her teeth became whiter.
The two were silent for a moment, Li Dongqing looked towards the north and said, "Where do you think your home is?"
Ning Hechen glanced at him, "Huh?"
Li Dongqing said: "When I wanted a hometown, I didn't have one. Later I accepted that I don't have a hometown, but someone told me that I still have a home."
Ning Hechen laughed and said, "I can't tell you for nothing."
"Then what do you want?"
Ning Hechen turned around, looked at him and said, "And I can stay too."
Li Dongqing: "!"
"You worship me as your teacher," Ning Hechen said, "I will teach you martial arts and protect you until you reach adulthood. I will give you whatever you want."
Li Dongqing grabbed his wrist and said, "Really?"
Ning Hechen looked at him with a smile.Li Dongqing immediately knelt down and said, "From now on, you must stay by my side until I grow up and don't leave."
"Kowtow," Ning Hechen said, "do you know how to ask for a teacher? There are no rules."
Li Dongqing kowtowed and looked up at him again.Ning and Chen came to the point and pulled him to stand up.Li Dongqing didn't grow taller this year, she was still a section shorter than him
Wang Sumin was driving a horse outside, when he heard the sound, he turned around and said, "Are you awake?"
When Li Dongqing saw him, he subconsciously touched his blindfold, but found that it was gone. He asked, "Why are you here?"
"After I left, the more I thought about it, the more something went wrong," Wang Sumin said, "I think you are lying to me."
Li Dongqing: "Then your reaction is not too slow."
Wang Sumin: "But at that time you were already dead, and someone wanted to arrest you, so I followed."
Li Dongqing asked: "What about the people who arrested us?"
"Look carefully," Wang Sumin felt that he was really blind, and said, "Look up."
Li Dongqing's head was still a little confused, and he turned his head to see, oh, there were four people standing lightly on the roof of the car, with a long, white motorcade behind him.Li Dongqing immediately stretched her head back.
Wang Sumin shouted from outside the car door: "Did you see it?"
"Have you seen a Taoist priest?" Li Dongqing began to slowly regain consciousness and asked, "A very powerful Taoist priest."
Wang Sumin: "No, when I went, it was only you, Ning and Chen."
Li Dongqing felt weird, he didn't know who that man was and what he came for.When I first entered the rivers and lakes, I have already met many masters. These people have their own plans in their hearts, and they look very mysterious.Li Dongqing said to himself: "Anyway, they didn't come to kill me."
Ning Hechen asked, "What did you say? What Taoist?"
"You may not remember, I can't beat so many people by myself, there is a person who helped me, but I don't know him," Li Dongqing confessed, "Oh, let's start from the beginning, I was in a restaurant in Yanmen As a handyman, the shop was contracted by the government to cook porridge for the common people. The officials in the county were unwilling to do the work of giving, so they returned it to us to do it. When I was giving out, I met a Taoist priest from the south. Seeing that he was very cold, I gave him a padded jacket that was distributed to the common people. I thought he was an ordinary Taoist priest sent by the emperor to comfort people, but I didn’t expect him to help me a lot later, he is a master.”
Li Dongqing babbled a lot, Ning Hechen listened patiently, thought for a while, and said: "The Taoist priests in the south, could it be that they came down from Mount Heng?"
"Guo Xie said the same thing!" Li Dongqing said happily.
Ning Hechen smiled, and said: "That's [-] percent, you can make friends, the five mountains, Mount Heng, are like a cloud of masters."
Seeing Ning Hechen this time, Li Dongqing always felt a little strange.Ning Hechen stopped being angry with himself, instead he always smiled at him.Recalling that before, when Ning Hechen was very kind to him, it was because he was going to be unlucky, Li Dongqing felt a little nervous.
Knowing what situation he was in now, of course he wanted to run away. Li Dongqing gave him a wink, implying whether he could beat it, but Ning Hechen held his hand, opened it, and showed him the thin, chain.Li Dongqing had rough skin and thick flesh, so she didn't even feel the chain.Ning Hechen said: "The refined iron used by the people outside the Great Wall has its own forging process. The swords of the Han people will break when they touch the scimitars of the Huns. We are mortals."
Li Dongqing took a look, and it turned out that Ning Hechen also had them.The chain passed through the seat and went nowhere.Ning Hechen patted him and comforted him, "Since you're here, you'll be safe."
This didn't seem like what Ning Hechen would say, Li Dongqing smiled and said, "I thought you were in a hurry."
"I have nothing to worry about." Ning Hechen said.
Li Dongqing wanted to ask, but she didn't want to, so she remained silent.Instead, Ning Hechen asked first, "Why did you go to Yanmen?"
"I'll just go for a walk," Li Dongqing said, "I've escaped this crisis, and I still want to go back to my own life. How about you?"
Ning Hechen smiled and shook his head.
Li Dongqing thought that he was in trouble, and didn't want to say it, but in fact, he could guess it, so he hurriedly said: "If you don't want to count it, it's okay, it's okay."
"I heard from the Yangtze River that when you came out of Liaodong, you thought you were going to Shanggu Yuyang." Ning Hechen said slowly, "I happened to be fine, so I just walked around and I might meet you. In fact, I just passed Yanmen. "
Li Dongqing: "..."
Li Dongqing asked bluntly, "Are you looking for me?"
"You can say that." Ning Hechen thought it was funny.
Li Dongqing was instantly happy. He always thought that he was not Ning Hechen's friend, but now it seems that he is not!
Ning Hechen said casually: "When I arrived at Yanmen, I wanted to drop by and go home. I saw my mother, my cousin, and the old housekeeper. The house is just like yesterday, and life is pretty good. My mother cooked a lot of dishes. I also handed over a bowl of water and wine, although I had some premonitions in my heart, I took it and drank it in one gulp."
This is not much different from what Li Dongqing thought.Your biological mother wanted your life, and if it was Li Dongqing, he would have given it too.
Ning Hechen said: "It's not that I live for them. Think about it carefully, my father is such a staunch person who is dedicated to protecting the Lord. If he knows what I have done today, I am afraid that he will not tolerate me."
Li Dongqing didn't know where to start to persuade her, but for a long time, she said, "But you didn't do anything big and evil. Your mother didn't want to kill you because of what you did, but because you were punished by the court." It's just coercion."
"They're all the same." Ning and Chen said, "Aren't they all the same?"
Li Dongqing wanted to say, is this different?But he also understood that in Ning Hechen's eyes, his biological mother had already abandoned him, killed him, beheaded him, and drained his blood.His flesh and blood is gone.Li Dongqing is someone who would be grateful if others gave him a little light, but Ning Hechen had to treat him wholeheartedly and risk his life for him in order to take this person to heart.
Think about it carefully, didn't Huo Huanghe, Ye Amei, and Li Dongqing all risk their lives for Ning Hechen?
Now, Ning and Chen didn't have anything to worry about, he looked the same as when they parted that day, but his face was a bit ugly, both of them looked bitter.Li Dongqing said: "Are you tired? Why don't you take a nap."
Ning Hechen shook his head, leaned against the wall of the car, and didn't speak, but felt relieved.
The two of them have been separated for so long, and after talking about this topic, they have nothing to say.Want to ask what have you experienced?There is nothing good to say.When he and Ning Hechen got along with each other before, they didn't talk very much, but staying here today, Ning Hechen sat quietly beside him gave Li Dongqing a feeling that he would not leave.Li Dongqing's rare peace of mind, but also some joy.
"Oh!" Li Dongqing suddenly remembered something, he suddenly opened the curtain of the car, and was about to introduce Wang Sumin, but the big singer thought he was going to run away, so she landed on the door of the car and asked, "What's the matter?"
Li Dongqing was startled, not knowing that she was there the whole time, and said, "It's nothing."
The big singer said, "It's coming soon."
Wang Sumin greeted Ning Hechen by himself, and said to Li Dongqing: "This hero didn't say a word to me all the way. If I hadn't heard him speak Hun language in Wang's tent, I really thought he couldn't speak at all."
Li Dongqing said with a smile: "This is Wang Sumin, who used to lead troops under Yi Zhixie's subordinates."
Ning Hechen shook his head wearily, rubbed his eyes and said, "Got it."
Li Dongqing said to Wang Sumin: "Since you two already know each other, I won't say much."
"Oh," Li Dongqing glanced at the big singer and asked, "What's the matter?"
Big singer: "..."
Ning and Chen leaned against the window frame, smiled lazily, then turned their heads and said, "The big singer is waiting for you to ask her where and what you are going to do."
Only then did Li Dongqing think of this incident, not to say that he didn't care, but because he knew that nothing good would happen, so he didn't report any expectations, and planned to talk about it when the disaster was imminent.When Ning Hechen said it at this time, he asked, "What on earth did Little Yueshi want me for? I have nothing to do with you."
The big singer sat across from the two of them, raised her wrist, and her sleeves were neatly draped on her lap: "It really has nothing to do with the Central Plains. It is your life, which has already been bought by us. When you are 16 years old, someone I will pick you up, you just turned sixteen this year, although there were some twists and turns, the result is still the same."
Ning Hechen reacted greatly, and immediately asked, "By whom?"
"Our queen," said the big singer, "bought [-] people with ten thousand gold, set off from Daijun, Dongou, Yanmen, Liaodong, and Langya, with a small amount of luggage, pretending to be disaster victims, Traveling long distances, wandering around Linjiang, and living here, Qilao Village was formed. One year later, you were born."
Ning Hechen changed his expression and looked at Li Dongqing, but Li Dongqing didn't respond.
Da Ge's goddess still asked indifferently: "Do you know why your name is Li Dongqing?"
Ning Hechen said: "The fortune teller took it, what's the matter, it's also related to your Yue family?"
"There is a kind of eagle in this world, which flies the fastest and highest in the world." The singer raised her chin slightly, unconsciously showing some solemnity, "Only one eagle can be born out of a hundred thousand. It can travel thousands of miles alone, and it can endure hunger for 20 days after eating once. The emperor can't ask for money, and he is called the "God of Eagles."
The big singer said: "The most handsome one who carved Liaodong is called Haidongqing."
Ning Hechen had obviously heard of this legend, but Li Dongqing had also heard of it. The great wilderness and nine phoenixes billowed from the sky, frightening the sky and suppressing the clouds. It turned out that Yuezhi also believed in this.
Li Dongqing said: "It's not that I don't believe it, but shouldn't you show some evidence now?"
"What proof do you want?" the big song girl said, "My sons and daughters of the Yue family have not been afraid of severe cold since birth. Let me ask you, have you ever been afraid of extreme cold since you were young?"
"Five years ago, the Queen Wang Zhi wanted to kill you, but she killed your parents by mistake and left you alone. Do you really still think that she was merciful and spared your life? You lived to be 15 years old safely, do you know?" For these 15 years, how many people died for you?"
Li Dongqing's head was empty, and she understood a lot.The Yuezhi people didn't intend to kill him in Qilao Village, but when he arrived in the Xiongnu grassland, he seemed crazy when he was in Yizhixie's king's tent.At that time, if he really surrendered to Yi Zhixie, the Yue family would have to take his life. Sometimes the position of a person is more valuable than this person. Li Dongqing can die, but even if he dies, he cannot be loyal to the grassland .
The big song girl said: "Your mother is the daughter of Queen Yuezhi. The head of King Yuezhi that Lie Jiaomi cut off was not the head of anyone who had nothing to do with you, but your grandfather. The princess of our clan will stay in Chang'an forever. , marrying Liu Rong is just to hope that Liu Rong will ascend the throne in the future and can lend a helping hand to the Yue family, but who would have thought that he would die so quickly? Do you think that an abolished former prince and Linjiang king can shade you? It's been so long? It's just hateful. That year, our country fell apart. One line went north from Dunhuang, crossed Dawan, and moved to Lake Issyk-Kul. The rest of us, from Qilian Mountains, went south to Dongou Kingdom Gou An. There is no way to recover, so I can only leave you in the Central Plains."
In winter, migratory birds fly south to avoid the cold winter, but in March, the birds will eventually return to their homeland.Li Dongqing thought that his lead wire was broken, it was a kite floating randomly, and he had persuaded himself to recognize the world as his hometown, but the other end of the string was suddenly caught again, dividing home into yours and mine and his.He wasn't happy at all.
Ning Hechen said, "What do you want Li Dongqing to do? You forgot, he also has a name, Liu Zhuo."
"Lie Jiaomi is a descendant of the Kun people, and he is still loyal to the Huns. Whoever raises him should live for him." The big song girl felt that Ning and Chen were just a rock with no human feelings at all, and said, "I am a The three sons and daughters of Queen Shi died on the battlefield, under the horseshoes of the Huns, and they killed tens of thousands of enemies, leaving only Li Dongqing as a descendant."
Ning Hechen laughed mockingly, and the singer said quietly, "Is it ridiculous?"
Ning Hechen said, "It's ridiculous."
The big show girl didn't speak anymore, she was offended by Ning Hechen and also hurt by his words.Ning Hechen's mouth is too powerful, Li Dongqing has already experienced it, so he doesn't care if you have any pain points.It's just that his position has changed now, and Ning Hechen is not talking about him, but Li Dongqing still feels a little worried.
"Okay." Ning Hechen was still leaning on his body. He might be really tired, but that didn't prevent him from being quick-witted and knowing how to poke people's pain. "What do you think the world is like today?"
The singer was silent.
"Then do you think, can you win the grassland from the hands of the Huns, or the Central Plains from the hands of Emperor Wu? Li Dongqing is a mortal, no matter how brave he is, he can defeat tens of thousands of elite soldiers? You have made it clear , I just want him to accompany you to die."
"A heavy soldier dies with shame," said the big song girl. "The family and the country have not been restored. Whose family son didn't survive like this? The son used [-] elite soldiers to avenge his father. It doesn't seem like someone who doesn't understand."
Ning Hechen laughed: "Haha!"
Seeing the tense atmosphere between the two, Li Dongqing took Ning Hechen with one hand, put it on his hand, and comforted him, "Forget it."
Ning Hechen grabbed it with his back, pulled him behind, and said, "Huo Xunli, don't think I'm afraid of you."
Huo Xunli said, "Ning Hechen, I'm not afraid of you either."
But Li Dongqing was afraid, and he must not fight, not because of emotion, not because of reason.So he said: "Don't... don't be angry, brother, she saved our life, so it should be treated as a favor."
Ning Hechen said angrily, "Do you still deserve this favor?"
Li Dongqing had nothing to say.
Ning Hechen let him go and said, "If you want to pay it back, what am I going to do to stop you!"
Why did it start again?Li Dongqing hadn't enjoyed his good face for a moment, and he angered people again. He had no choice but to say: "Then, what should we do?"
Huo Xunli said: "Ning Hechen, I didn't expect you to repay your kindness, but my family saved your life, you should remember."
"Your prince remembers it very well," Ning Hechen said with a sarcasm, "You just need to remind him, can I still let him go?"
Li Dongqing looked bitter, feeling helpless.Of course he knew that Ning Hechen was doing it for his own good, but how could he, Ning Hechen himself, be able to choose and not take it to heart?Li Dongqing felt in a dilemma, but he also vaguely felt that Ning Hechen would not abandon him.
Huo Xunli stood up and confessed to Li Dongqing: "This is not a matter for you to decide on your own. You can only go back to Dong'ou Kingdom with us. If you don't, you will give your life back to Yuezhi."
Ning Hechen frowned fiercely, and Li Dongqing quickly said, "Okay! I got it, and I'll send you the singing girl!"
Huo Xunli glanced at the two of them again, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, turned around, opened the curtain and left.Li Dongqing thought that she should be his disappointment.What sincere courtier would wish that the prince was a coward?Li Dongqing was too indecisive, and he obviously cared more about Ning Hechen's thoughts than Yuezhi's.
Li Dongqing thought that Ning Hechen would be angry for a long time, but Ning Hechen lifted the curtain and looked at the snowy scene outside. Ning Hechen's eyelashes seemed not very dense, but long, and the roots were distinct when he lowered his eyes. Very delicate.Li Dongqing looked at it and thought: "Those who praised Wei Zifu's beauty, have they seen Ning Hechen?"
Li Dongqing's knowledge about beauties is really poor. He only heard that Wei Zifu is a great beauty, so he always compares her with her. Before he knew it, he thought that Emperor Wu took a fancy to Wei Zifu because he had a crush on Wei Zifu from a dozen women. she.But Ning Hechen is outstanding even if there are hundreds or thousands of people. If he is a girl, it will be really amazing.
Ning Hechen didn't know what he was thinking, but he was still telling him: "What people are most afraid of is affection. Breaking up and leaving is the biggest rule in the world. If you put too much emphasis on affection, you will not go far."
Li Dongqing understood what he meant, but didn't know what to say.He wanted to say: "You know it clearly, don't you always suffer from this?"
Who doesn't understand the truth?But not everyone can do it.But he couldn't say that Ning Hechen wanted Li Dongqing to stop suffering like this after he suffered such a loss, but there was really no way, people had to suffer by themselves.Saying it hurts Ning and Chen's heart.
Li Dongqing was silent for a moment, Ning Hechen glanced at him, and stopped talking.
"You look so tired," Li Dongqing asked, "Have you not slept these days?"
Wang Sumin drove the horse outside the car and said, "Three days."
"Go back to bed later," Wang Sumin said again, "We will be there soon. Liu Zhuo, you said you wanted to be friends with me, how do you settle this account?"
Li Dongqing had no choice but to settle the matter first, and said, "I said to be friends, so are we friends?"
"We Xianbei people must make it clear," Wang Sumin said, "I did as you said, and you have to respect my rules. You lied to me, let the past go."
Li Dongqing lifted the curtain and glanced at him, Wang Sumin turned his head and asked displeasedly: "What's wrong?"
Li Dongqing stretched out his hand to him, Wang Sumin froze for a moment, and made a fist with him, Li Dongqing squeezed his fist hard, and said, "Okay."
Wang Sumin seemed to be naive, a little speechless, turned around and drove the horse.
Li Dongqing sat back in the carriage, seeing Ning Hechen resting his eyes with his eyes closed, he leaned closer and then closer.Ning Hechen opened his eyes, glanced at him, and asked again with his eyes: "What's wrong?"
Li Dongqing patted himself on the shoulder: "It's comfortable to rely on me."
Ning Hechen glanced at his thin bones, sneered, and ignored him.
Li Dongqing leaned over meanly: "Are you worried about me?"
"I have insomnia," Ning Hechen said, "Go away."
Li Dongqing said: "It's fine if you lay your pillow on me. During the two nights on the grassland, I lay on your lap and slept soundly."
Ning Hechen said, "When did you not sleep soundly? When the sky falls, you will be covered by a quilt."
Li Dongqing smirked twice, Ning Hechen leaned on the side with folded arms, and closed his eyes slightly to take a nap. It was a peaceful moment, only the sound of horseshoes, and Li Dongqing didn't bother him anymore. After a while, Ning Hechen asked: "What happened to the wound on the face?"
Li Dongqing touched it and said, "I was stabbed by an arrow and left a scar, but my eyes are fine."
Ning Hechen stretched out his hand and touched the scar. After the blood scab fell off, it left a white mark on his face. Li Dongqing still knew how to take medicine, and there was a bigger scar on his back, which was so ugly. Very, the face is already considered good.
Ning Hechen's hands were a little cold, they put them down and retracted them into their sleeves, and asked casually, "Who hurt it?"
Li Dongqing thought for a while, and then said, "That man is already dead."
Ning Hechen glanced at him, and said after a while, "Oh."
Wang Sumin said from outside: "Oh what? He has already killed someone, and he wants me to avenge him."
Ning Hechen didn't bother to answer, and didn't say anything, Wang Sumin asked Li Dongqing again: "Brother, can't he hear me?"
Li Dongqing: "..."
How good-tempered Ning Hechen is!Really offend people everywhere.
The further south the carriage went, the less snow there was.In the afternoon, there was no snow on the road, but the weather was wet and cold, which made people uncomfortable.Li Dongqing didn't know why, but he always felt that since the snow was still falling, he seemed to be still in Saibei, or at least part of his soul was left in Saibei.The snow was still falling on him, and he couldn't shake it off.
The city gate of Dongou Kingdom was wide open, and he got off the carriage, and saw nearly a hundred people standing on the city wall, all wearing light gauze and thin clothes, with good looks and deep eyes.It seemed that it was because they were on Yueshi's territory, the big singer untied the iron chains from his and Ning Hechen's hands, and looked up.
Li Dongqing lost his mind, as if he saw a familiar face, the man dodged for a while, Li Dongqing caught up with her eyes, and saw clearly that it was Huang Yatou.Much more beautiful.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly felt that many things were boring.He just turned 16 this year and has been cheated for 15 years.Although he was calm and calm in front of Huo Xunli, as if nothing happened, even he himself felt that it was nothing.But when he saw his childhood playmate standing on the city wall, wearing Xiao Yueshi's beautiful clothes, he suddenly felt a sting.
One deception after another uncovered one layer after another, and it turned out that freedom never existed.
The carriage slowly entered the city. Li Dongqing had just come back from the border crossing, and saw that the people in the city looked at ease and walked on the road without any haste.For a while, I felt a little unaccustomed, as if in a dream.
The battle at the border was tense, and the Huns invaded many times. They didn't know when they would rush into the city, hacking and killing with machetes. Therefore, there were no vendors on the streets of the border, and thick gates and walls were installed in wine shops and pawnshops. It can be closed tightly.
Although it is in the same world, there is such a big difference.
A man came out to welcome him, wearing white clothes and a silver bracelet, and said respectfully, "The big song girl."
Huo Xunli said, "Unload the things in the convoy."
The man smiled at Li Dongqing and the others, but Wang Sumin turned away with his arms around his shoulders and looked like he didn't care about me.Ning Hechen also looked indifferent.Li Dongqing smiled back, and the man said, "You don't remember me!"
Li Dongqing: "?"
The man said: "I used to play with you when I was a child. We flew kites together on the hill in front of the village. But then my mother missed me so much that she took me back."
"..." Li Dongqing looked at this face, and seemed to have a little impression, and asked tentatively, "You...were eaten by a tiger?"
"That's right!" the man said happily, "This story is a bit long, but it's actually like this. I happened to be going home at the time, but you were always running up the mountain at that time, and your parents at that time were still ours. , just let them scare you."
Li Dongqing: "..."
The man said: "My name is Huoxun Changming. I used to be called Ah Fu."
Li Dongqing said: "Ah Fu, no, Huoxun Changming, it's good that you are still alive, long time no see."
Huo Xunli came over and said: "The Yuezhi people in your village are almost all women and children. One is for you, and the other is to survive. Lie Jiaomi did not let us go, and there will still be wars to this day. , Those people were unable to protect themselves, so they all went to beggar villages. At first your parents did too, but they died at the hands of Wang Zhi, and then Lin Xueniang stepped in and adopted you. We don't want you to live Knowing the truth earlier, she kept silent and let you live under her hands."
Li Dongqing actually didn't really want to know these things, so he insisted, "So that's how it is."
Ning Hechen said: "What do you eat? Where do you live? Your prince hasn't eaten anything for three days, and you want me to remind you?"
Huo Xun Changming remembered it now, and hurriedly said: "Come on, come on, it's already been prepared, let's go directly to the table!"
The Eastern Ou Kingdom is not the territory of the Yuezhi, in fact, it belongs to the Han Dynasty, but it is far away from Chang'an, a small country with few people, and the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so it has its own set of rules.It has been almost ten years since the king took in Xiaoyue's lineage, and the country has been prosperous and the people have been peaceful, without causing any disturbances.There are always things between people to continue, whether it is blood or favor. Nearly a hundred members of the Xiaoyue clan have also been on the Golden Stage. They are martial arts masters and have also defended Dongou against the invasion of many small neighboring countries.It was only after arriving here that Li Dongqing realized that the 32 people living in Qilao Village last time were actually a serious blow to them.
The king of the Eastern Ou Kingdom was also called the King of the Eastern Sea, and his name was Ouyang Yao. He invited everyone to a banquet, sat on the top seat, raised his wine cup high, and said, "Congratulations to your family for finally getting your wish!"
Huo Xunli smiled slightly, raised the wine cup with both hands, drank it all, and said: "My lord, the Yue clan is today because of your kindness. I don't thank you for your kindness. I, the Yue clan, never talk empty words. , the kindness of the newspaper is kept in my heart."
The king was over fifty years old, with a benevolent complexion, slightly fat, and the areas of his face without wrinkles were as smooth as freshly baked steamed buns. He waved his hands and said, "Don't mention this today!"
He looked at Li Dongqing, felt happy, and said, "Oh, what a small doll. I often hear Li Li talking about you. At the beginning of the year, Li Li said that you are 15 years old and you are going home."
"It's already a new year!" Huoxun Li Rou said, "He's already 16 years old."
Ouyang shook his forehead, smiled and said: "I always forget! Alas, I am almost 70 years old! Time flies really fast. Baby, let me tell you, I seem to remember when I was a boy like you, Let's attack Qin together with Chen Sheng and Wu Guang!"
Li Dongqing was startled by his words, he forgot to drink the wine when he picked it up, Huo Xun Changming looked at him in surprise, and said: "The King of Donghai is an old minister, and Gao Zu also contributed a lot when he ascended the throne. A true young hero. "
Li Dongqing is ashamed of herself, ashamed of herself.
Ouyang Yao said with a smile: "It's all over, time flies, the past Qianfan seems to be in front of my eyes, but in a blink of an eye, I have reached the twilight years, and the loess has been buried to the root of my neck. When I saw this doll today, I remembered Myself. Oh, I'm disgusting!"
Li Dongqing said: "I heard from my mother that life was the happiest when I was a teenager, but people are always dissatisfied and want to live a better life. They work hard, and when they turn around, they are no longer young."
"That's right." Ouyang Yao tasted it with a slight smile, and then asked, "Which mother of yours said that?"
Li Dongqing: "..."
After finishing speaking, Ouyang Yao was stunned for a moment, laughed again, punished himself with a glass, and said, "I'm being rude again, I'm old and I can't speak anymore!"
But Li Dongqing smiled slightly, and even Ning and Chen found it interesting.Although the king of Eastern Europe is 70 years old, he looks open-minded and straightforward. He doesn't look like a king, but a knight-errant.
"I think you have been taught very well," Ouyang Yao drank a pot of wine and sighed again, "Li Lihe should be relieved. She always stands on the city wall looking north, looking at her hometown, and also looking at the exile A wanderer outside."
Huo Xunli said, "There is no such thing."
Ouyang Yao laughed again: "Okay, okay! If you say no, then there won't be. Being an old man is just blind!"
Li Dongqing was complicated in her heart, but she still smiled and said: "I also offer a toast to King Donghai, thank you for taking care of me!"
Huo Xunli really laughed in his heart now.
The singer was playing the piano in the hall, the dancer was dancing, and Qu Bi came down again to pour wine for everyone. Ning Hechen didn't like to drink, so Li Dongqing took the glass in front of him and drank it for him. A girl walked over with a jug in her arms. He Chen covered the wine cup with one hand to prevent her from pouring it, and his eyes signaled to wait for others.
The girl blushed instantly, panicked, turned around hastily, Li Dongqing walked her down the steps, and said, "Refill it for me, thank you."
Ning Hechen showed no expression, Li Dongqing smiled and leaned over to talk to him: "The mutton here is delicious, you can try it."
"It's fishy." Ning Hechen said.
"It's okay," Li Dongqing said, "You can try it again."
Ning Hechen was very stubborn and didn't want to eat any more.Li Dongqing always felt that Ning Hechen was a picky eater and ate less, but he couldn't force him to coax Ning Hechen into eating. , It's not that I'm unhappy, but I'm a little sad.
Ning Hechen listened and glanced at him.
The singing girl filled up the wine, bowed and stepped back, Li Dongqing said casually, "Oh thank you."
The singer nodded lightly, the drums and the piano sounded, and she returned to the front of the hall, and the singing and dancing started again.
The rules of Eastern Ou Kingdom are not strict, and the ritual and music system is not so strict. At the banquet, everyone is free to move around. Many Yuezhi people toasted Li Dongqing, so Li Dongqing had to avoid the banquet. I'm overwhelmed with alcohol, I haven't had a few drinks since I was a child, and I feel dizzy.Ouyang Yao decided that singing and dancing was a little annoying, so he said, "Stop dancing."
There was a singing girl sitting beside Wang Sumin, and she was about to lean into his arms when she leaned closer. Wang Sumin hid outside, but the singing girl fell to the ground and sat down.He sat impatiently, looked at Li Dongqing's face several times, and wanted to leave the seat, the Huns never liked this kind of thing, they just got to drink and eat meat, but they couldn't get up from this seat once they sat down.He became more and more impatient, Li Dongqing had to pretend not to see.
In front of Li Dongqing, Ning Hechen put a chopstick of mutton into his mouth, and said, "It's fishy."
Li Dongqing: "..."
Ouyang Yao walked down, stood in front of Li Dongqing, and said, "Let me take a good look at you."
Li Dongqing hurriedly stood up, actually already a little drunk, Ouyang Yao pointed to his right eye, where Li Dongqing was injured, and said: "Men are all injured."
Li Dongqing nodded, swayed her feet, was supported by Ning Hechen, and sat back.Li Dongqing said: "I'm really sorry..."
"Hahaha," Ouyang Yao said, "You are still far behind!"
Li Dongqing shook her head and said, "Oh, there is no way."
He leaned on Ning Hechen, Ning Hechen changed the wine into tea, Ouyang Yao looked at him, and asked with a smile: "You are Mr. Xueman, right?"
Ning Hechen handed the tea to Li Dongqing's mouth, and Li Dongqing took two sips with his hand, and sat up straight again.Ning Hechen said, "King of the East China Sea."
Ouyang Yao sat in front of them and said: "Meeting is fate, I will play the piano for you."
After finishing speaking, before everyone could speak, he asked someone to bring the qin. He sat cross-legged on the ground, some old hands rested on the qin, and played two notes. Then, some old voices chanted in a low voice: The clouds are flying—Vega is home and home, and the hometown is—and the warriors are guarding the four directions."
Li Dongqing was slightly lost in thought. He had memorized this poem for many years, and today, in the mouth of the King of the East China Sea, he thought of Yueshi's fate for decades, and finally felt a little touched.Perhaps Gaozu's heart, he still doesn't understand.
After Ouyang Yao sang, everyone stood up and praised. Ouyang Yao said to Li Dongqing: "Chang'an City is full of warriors, and the Emperor Wu and the Empress Dowager are like stars supporting the moon. Chang'an City does not lack you, but there are places that desperately need you .”
Li Dongqing understood what he meant, but still couldn't nod his head.Ning Hechen said, "He's drunk."
Ouyang shook his head with a smile.
The winter in the south is not so dry and cold, but it is still not warm. When Li Dongqing came here for the first time, he still felt uncomfortable, feeling cold and humid.
Ning Hechen was wearing a wolf fur cloak, standing on the city wall, with his hands on the bricks, as if he was thinking about something.Li Dongqing supported the wall and walked up the stairs. Ning Hechen didn't turn his head. Li Dongqing still felt dizzy. Standing beside him, the wind blew over and he felt a little more awake.
After a while, Li Dongqing still couldn't hold back, and asked directly: "Are you going?"
"What about you?" Ning Hechen asked back, "Are you leaving?"
Li Dongqing smiled wryly and said, "Where can I go?"
He always felt in his heart that Ning and Chen were unattainable and could not catch up.Ning Hechen couldn't figure out what he wanted, and Li Dongqing didn't know what he wanted.
Ning Hechen said, "You've lost a lot of weight."
"It's dark too." Li Dongqing smiled and her teeth became whiter.
The two were silent for a moment, Li Dongqing looked towards the north and said, "Where do you think your home is?"
Ning Hechen glanced at him, "Huh?"
Li Dongqing said: "When I wanted a hometown, I didn't have one. Later I accepted that I don't have a hometown, but someone told me that I still have a home."
Ning Hechen laughed and said, "I can't tell you for nothing."
"Then what do you want?"
Ning Hechen turned around, looked at him and said, "And I can stay too."
Li Dongqing: "!"
"You worship me as your teacher," Ning Hechen said, "I will teach you martial arts and protect you until you reach adulthood. I will give you whatever you want."
Li Dongqing grabbed his wrist and said, "Really?"
Ning Hechen looked at him with a smile.Li Dongqing immediately knelt down and said, "From now on, you must stay by my side until I grow up and don't leave."
"Kowtow," Ning Hechen said, "do you know how to ask for a teacher? There are no rules."
Li Dongqing kowtowed and looked up at him again.Ning and Chen came to the point and pulled him to stand up.Li Dongqing didn't grow taller this year, she was still a section shorter than him
