Rebirth of Tao Yao

The Hu man's eyes were only on the dazzling golden horse from the beginning to the end, but he didn't even look at the two people on the horse.In this way, even the people in Yan Wangfu who can't understand Hu language can probably guess what he meant.

The little princess felt a little pain in her face, and her legs were still weak when she turned over and jumped off the horse. Fortunately, the maid got off the horse first, and at this moment, she reached out and pulled her in time, and the little princess fell directly into her arms.Rou Jia felt weird for a moment, but she was born noble, and there was never a shortage of servants around her, and the maids were both women, so she didn't take this little thing too seriously.

In fact, the time of running away on horseback was not too long, but Rou Jia, who had never experienced such an experience, was still pale and her legs were weak, which was much worse than Wen Ziran on the other side who was also protected by Yan Li and ran all the way.Leaning on the maid at this moment, she didn't want to move anymore, so she asked directly: "What did this barbarian say, why does he keep staring at my horse?"

Not only the barbarians, in fact, everyone's eyes were on the golden horse at the moment.But the golden horse didn't care about it at all, it still stood with its head held high, under the gaze of everyone, its light golden tail swayed slightly, with a leisurely and innocent look.

Yan Li blinked his eyes, and after thinking about it, he said truthfully: "He said that your horse is a Pegasus."

Rou Jia was stunned when she heard the words, and her eyes subconsciously fell on the golden horse again.She likes this horse, and she also thinks that this horse is so beautiful that it is a "horse", but if someone is so persistent in calling this horse a Tianma, and even comes to chase her because of this, Rou Jia's mood is quite complicated .For a moment, she looked at the golden horse with a love-hate look.

With a young heart, everyone's attention was on the phrase "Tianma" for a moment, but they forgot the circumstances under which this sentence was spoken.But Yan Li remembered that unlike Rou Jia's love and hate, he was surprised and suspicious of the golden horse, after thinking about it, he swiped the dagger first and wiped the barbarian's neck.

The barbarian's screams woke everyone up. They all looked back and saw that Yan Li had already wiped the dagger on the barbarian's body, then raised his head and calmly said to everyone: "This place is not suitable to stay for long, we should go .”

The teenagers were stunned, although it is impossible not to be exposed to war in the border town, but today is the first time to really talk about killing people.The situation was critical before, and no one had time to think about the feeling of killing people. They just struggled desperately to find a way out for themselves and their companions.By this time, the dust had settled and everyone had regained their composure. Seeing Yan Li wipe the barbarian's neck casually, they felt different in an instant.

Someone subconsciously reached out and touched his neck, then secretly swallowed, looking at Yan Li with even more fear.

Yan Li seemed to be unaware, he put the dagger back into the sheath, thought for a while, then took out a handkerchief from his pocket, carefully wiped off the blood stained on his hand, and then stretched out his hand to pull Wen Ziran's hand aside. Hand: "Come on, let's go to the cliff to have a look."

No one refused, and several teenagers including Gao Dashan were quite obedient, but they just followed from a distance, not daring to get too close.In the end, I didn't know who it was, and murmured in a low voice: "Boss Yan is really cruel..."

The small voice was blown away by the mountain wind, and faintly entered Yan Li's ears.He didn't look back, but he didn't see a trembling hand when he wiped the neck before, but now he tightened unconsciously.The girl held by him was alarmed by this, but the next moment she held back with a stronger force, and the two held hands tighter, as if possessing some kind of soothing power.

****************************************************************************

The terrain on the west mountain was steep, and it was impossible to ride a horse at a gallop, so the group had to lead the horse and walk slowly.When they finally climbed to the cliff where they could see the city, the sun above them was already westward.

Going out early in the morning, was attacked at noon, and has been running and fleeing until now with almost no water in, and everyone is hungry when they are tired.

Yan Li turned his head to look at Wen Ziran beside him, the little girl looked extremely embarrassed.Although Yan Li was there to protect her along the way, she was still sweating profusely when she was driving in such weather, and her delicate cheeks were flushed from the sun. A few strands of hair were sticking to her cheeks messily. People feel a little distressed for no reason.

Finally, Yan Li, who had been leading the way all the time, raised his hand to wipe his sweat, and said, "Let's take a rest first, and we'll leave in a quarter of an hour. We all went to see if there was anything to eat. There was nothing on the cliff." .”

A few teenagers obeyed their advice, coupled with the fact that the teenagers were not worried, their eyes lit up and their tiredness disappeared after hearing the words. They cheered and tied their horses and rushed into the nearby mountain forest—there are so many treasures in the mountains. In this season, it is not difficult to find some wild fruits or even hunt some game in the mountains.No matter how bad it is, there is a mountain spring flowing nearby, so it would be good to fetch some water and drink it back.

Yan Li didn't follow them, he took Wen Ziran to find a rock and sat down, groped around for a while, and found a peach.It was picked in the peach grove in the morning, but Roujia happened to come back later and hadn't had time to eat it.But it's a pity that the dagger is now stained with blood, so it's useless, so after a little hesitation, I still plan to go to the mountain spring to wash the peaches.

Rou Jia's gaze was already glued to the peach in Yan Li's hand, she unconsciously licked her lips, but seeing Yan Li's back, she knew that she had no share of the peach.Only then did she think of the lost carriage on the way to escape, and she didn't know if the driver had escaped, but there was still a lot of food in that carriage...

Thinking of this, the little princess' stomach gurgled in response to the occasion.Rou Jia, who had never experienced such an experience, blushed immediately, and looked around involuntarily, fearing that the embarrassing belly groan would be heard.

Of course someone heard it, in fact, the few people who were still there heard it.Wen Ziran has excellent hearing ability but is very measured. He sat there obediently, with a calm expression on his face, just pretending that he didn't hear.The guard was also embarrassed to look over, so he looked away.Only the maid said without hesitation: "This servant is going to find some food for the Princess."

Rou Jia's face turned even redder, and the guard at the side hurriedly said: "I'll go, you guard the Princess."

The guards turned around and stepped into the forest. At the same time, Yan Li came back soon.He took the washed peaches and brought back two freshly cut bamboo tubes filled with water. Naturally, the peaches were given to Wen Ziran, but the water was given to Rou Jia.

Roujia drank water, looked at Wen Ziran and Yan Li who were about to share the peaches, and felt so sour that she couldn't care about her hunger.The white white teeth unconsciously bit the edge of the bamboo tube, and the little princess was thinking about something absently, but she heard the maid suddenly say in her ear: "Princess, this little general of the Yan family seems a little strange. "

This maid is naturally no ordinary maid.There is no shortage of people around Roujia to serve her, but as the eldest daughter of King Yan, she is loved by the emperor, and there are countless people who are jealous of her.After Roujia suffered a loss because of this, King Yan arranged many people around her to protect her.This maid is also one of them, she is weak and inconspicuous, but she has good martial arts, she is very alert and has helped Roujia a lot.

The little princess trusts this close person. Hearing this, he looked away at the maid, but still said casually: "What's so strange? Isn't that guy just like that, cold, but he likes to stick to Zi Ran's side. "

The maid lowered her voice a bit: "That barbarian from before. The little general Yan asked the other party why he invaded the border, but the man only said 'Tianma', and then the little general killed him without asking anything. He doesn't want to know how many barbarians have come, what's the situation in the border town now?"

Rou Jia was a little more serious when she heard the words, but when she thought of Yan Li's murderous appearance before, she still felt a little chilly.She thought about what had happened before, her gaze fell on the golden horse that was grazing leisurely, and said softly: "Are you saying that there is something wrong with the golden horse, or is it because of this horse that the barbarians went south?!" , but it is full of unbelievable.

The maid didn't say anything more, but Roujia was not stupid, so she couldn't help thinking about it—it was said that the horse was sold to Yan Li by a Hu merchant, and after her father visited the border, General Yan presented the horse to her father.According to Roujia's understanding of Yan Li these days, he must fight for what belongs to him, and there is no reason to give away the horse that has just been acquired.Unless there's something tricky about it...

Thinking in this way, when Rou Jia looked at Yan Li again, her gaze changed subtly.

For a perceptive person, other people's eyes can be felt when they are on the body, and Yan Li immediately noticed the change in Rou Jia's eyes.He was still holding half a peach that Wen Ziran insisted on giving him, and he looked back, looking at Roujia with a cold and intimidating gaze.

It was the first time that Roujia retreated because of Yan Li's gaze, but she heard Wen Ziran's gentle voice: "If the princess wants to ask anything, just ask directly, my brother and I will speak bluntly."

As soon as these words came out, it seemed that the people present were divided into two factions, and she and Yan Li were naturally on the same side.But compared to this, Roujia cares more about the deep meaning in Wen Ziran's words - this seemingly ordinary girl next door seems to know something, and from her tone, she seems to be able to make decisions for Yan Li... So from Was she the one who blindly intervened between the two from the beginning to the end?

The little princess's thoughts wandered for a while, and then she shifted her gaze to Yan Li.

Yan Li pursed his lips slightly and said nothing, because Wen Ziran had indeed told him the news about the Golden Horse in the first place.Now that Wen Ziran wanted to tell others the story, he naturally had no reason to stop him, and he also felt that Wen Ziran would not harm him.What's more, now the "story" seems to be coming true, some things Roujia and the others will know sooner or later.

Seeing that Yan Li did not object, Rou Jia's mood became more complicated. For the first time, she solemnly shifted her gaze to Wen Ziran, and asked, "About this golden horse, what secret is it hiding, and what do you know?"

Wen Ziran had expected that she would ask such a question, so he briefly told Rou Jia the story that he had told Yan Li that day, and finally said: "These are just rumors, whether it is true or not is unknown, and it is up to the princess to believe it or not." determination."

After hearing this, Rou Jia didn't think the legend was absurd. After all, she was born as a nobleman, and the way of thinking of the superior and the inferior is different.Yan Li and the others would question whether it was worth dying so many people for a horse, but the superiors only saw what they wanted, and as for the human life they paid for it, it was nothing more than ants to them.

But there is a limit to everything, if the Hu people really went to war with Liang Guo because of this horse, Rou Jia can only say one thing: Is the Hu people's Khan crazy? !

After speaking, Rou Jia did not believe that the war was started because of the Golden Horse.She didn't ask General Yan if he gave the horse to her father because he wanted to bring trouble to the east. After all, such a "pegasus horse" that the barbarians are fighting for endlessly, the little princess thinks it has some meaning, but Yan Wang's mansion is not. I can't afford it... At worst, the Palace of King Yan will dedicate the horse to the emperor.

Yan Li secretly heaved a sigh of relief at the little princess's indifference.General Yan didn't expect this to happen when he sent the horse, so Yan Li was worried that Yan Wangfu's small-minded would hold grudges, or that they had bad intentions in presenting the horse.

Wen Ziran had already guessed the result, and when she felt the tense person beside her relax, she pursed her lips and smiled lightly, then leaned lightly on that person's shoulder.
