twilight endless

The continuous mountains act like barriers to block the snow in northern Xinjiang at the southernmost tip of Fengzhou. As long as you climb over the last mountain, you can see the earliest plum blossoms in the new spring.Seeing that the pass was getting closer and closer, Zhou Yu couldn't help clamping the horse's belly, and couldn't stop riding the horse.The horse's hooves were struggling to fly in the snow, and a large cloud of white air was exhaled from the horse's mouth. After a while, a layer of hoarfrost condensed on the horse's long eyelashes.

"Your Highness! Slow down!" Twilight finally caught up with Zhou Ji, pulling the reins to force Zhou Ji's horse to slow down, "The horse will not be able to bear it."

Zhou Yu was also out of breath after running for a long time. He tried his best to calm down and said anxiously, "The queen mother is waiting for me. I must hurry back to the imperial capital as soon as possible."

"I know, but there are no post stations around here. If the horse is tired, we won't be able to get out of the mountains." Twilight persuaded, "Your Highness, haste makes waste."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Zhou Ji couldn't stop the anxiety and uneasiness in his heart. He didn't know what to do for a while, so he simply listened to Twilight's arrangement and followed Twilight to walk among the snow-capped mountains that were completely silent. After a while, the four sergeants of the Seven Killing Army who followed behind arrived.

"Can we cross this mountain today?" Zhou Ji asked.

"It's hard to say." Twilight looked back at the cloudy sky in the north, and said worriedly, "If the wind and snow don't come, we can travel a little longer in the evening. If we hurry up, we can go out of the mountain before dark. If the wind and snow Here we have to find a place to shelter from the wind."

"Is it still possible to sleep in the open?"

"Yes." Twilight said apologetically, "I made His Highness suffer."

"It's okay." Zhou Ji shook his head, "It's good to be able to return to the imperial capital soon."

But Fengzhou didn't seem to want Zhou Yu to leave smoothly. Just after noon, the wind and snow began to fall.Zhou Ji and his party carried the wind and snow forward, while looking for a place where they could shelter from the wind and spend the night along the road.

The wind and snow were getting bigger and bigger, and the temperature was also dropping. Zhou Yu, who had been running around for a day, finally felt the biting cold. He couldn't stop licking his hands and rubbing his frozen face.Twilight also felt the cold, but she still tried her best to identify the direction in the wind and snow, looking for a place to camp.

"Your Highness!" Twilight said joyfully, pointing to a mountain pass, "The terrain over there is fine, let's go there."

Zhou Kai nodded, and rode his horse towards the mountain pass. Unexpectedly, just a few steps away, a big bird descended from the sky, swooped past Zhou Kai's head, and almost hit the tree next to him.The flash happened too fast, and when Twilight reached out to protect Zhou Ji, the big bird was already circling up the steep cliff.

"Why is there a bird suddenly?" Twilight asked in surprise.

"It seems to be..." Zhou Ji steadied himself, looked at the big bird flying higher and higher, and said, "The letter sculpture of the Seven Killing Army."

"Why did the letter sculpture of the Seven Killing Army attack His Highness?"

"Maybe I was lost by the wind and snow." Zhou Yu watched the letter eagle flying northward through the wind and snow, and suddenly his heart sank, "Isn't it flying from the imperial capital? Could it be that the queen mother..." Thinking of this verse, Zhou Yu didn't care about anything else, swung his whip and rode away, followed by Twilight and the sergeant.

Six riders drove together on the snowy road in the mountain pass, and the sound of horseshoes was uniform, causing the surroundings to vibrate together.A sergeant sensed something was wrong and was about to sound a warning when he heard a rumbling sound coming from the top of the mountain.

Twilight was startled, and lashed out at Zhou Ji's horse, leading it to gallop towards the pass.The horse seemed to know how to survive in an avalanche better, and sprinted forward with all its strength, but the rumbling sound was getting closer and closer.

Twilight resisted all the fear, fixed her eyes on the pass, and imagined [-] ways to save Zhou Ji from the dangerous situation in her mind.But he didn't know that Zhou Ji had the same thoughts in his mind.

The whistling snow waves finally caught up behind him, and Twilight took the last opportunity to grab Zhou Yu, who knew that he fell into Zhou Yu's arms first, and before Twilight could react, he had already been hugged and fell by Zhou Yu go out.

Fortunately in the misfortune, there are forks on both sides of the pass, and the fork roads are covered with spruces. It was too late to unload the force, Zhou Yu directly hit a spruce tree with his arms in his arms.Twilight felt a sudden stop, shouted "not good" in his heart, and heard Zhou Yu let out a muffled groan, and the side of his face suddenly became wet and cold.

"Your Highness!" Twilight looked at Zhou Ji, only to see Zhou Ji frowning in pain, stroking his chest and coughing up a few mouthfuls of blood, obviously suffering from internal injuries, Twilight's fear suddenly turned into anger, emotional It spewed out uncontrollably, and roared, "What can you do if your skills are not good?! Let me take you to avoid it! Can't ordinary people just let the half-demon protect them honestly?!"

"You..." Zhou Gai was angry and hurt, and looked at Twilight in disbelief, "You yell at me?! This king is... not..." Zhou Gae gasped three times, "Afraid...afraid of you... "

"Stop it!" Twilight stopped Zhou Yu decisively, stretched out his hand and tapped the Tanzhong acupoint on his chest, and recited Zhou Kai involuntarily, and walked deep into the spruce forest.Sure enough, I found a cave left by a honey picker on the mountain wall at the bottom of the forest.

Twilight placed Zhou Ji in the cave, but turned around and went out.Zhou Yu was shocked, and wanted to stretch out his hand to pull him, but when he exerted force, his chest and abdomen felt a pain, and he couldn't help shrinking his body and humming softly.When the pain passes, the twilight is gone.Zhou Yu couldn't help it, so he had to calm down his inner breath slowly. Before he could finish a meridian, he saw Twilight returning, dragging a large bundle of spruce branches behind him.

Zhou Yu sat on the ground, watching Twilight violently split and cut off the branches, and did not know what strange magic method was used, and even ignited the fire.The blazing fire illuminated Twilight's stern face, and also eased Zhou Yu's already frozen face. Zhou Ji asked curiously, "How did you make the fire?"

"Spiritual spells and sorcery." Twilight looked at the jumping flames and said, "It's all small tricks, and half-demons are born with it."

"Then how did you know about this cave?" Zhou Kai still asked curiously, "Is it also natural?"

"Rui'er taught me this." Twilight hesitated, but still said, "He told me about the battle they fought in Fengchuan."

"It turns out that elder brother is protecting me in the dark." Zhou Ji also looked at the jumping flames and smiled softly.

"Your Highness." In stark contrast to Zhou Yu's smiling face was Twilight's cannibalistic expression. He stared at Zhou Ji and said seriously, "Next time this happens, Your Highness, please don't be brave."

"This is not showing off." Zhou Ji smiled softly at Twilight, "This is instinct."

"This is the job that a half-demon should always do." Twilight avoided Zhou Ji's drowning gaze, and whispered, "I know His Highness is worried about me, if I get hurt, His Highness will...will... "

After "meeting" for a long time, Twilight didn't have the nerve to say it out, and Zhou Ji added the second half of the sentence for him in a considerate way: "I will feel distressed."

"Yes."

"That's why I..."

"So I will too." Twilight didn't seem to know how to express his thoughts, and began to give inexplicable examples, "It's like your highness being chased by flying eagles in the Forest of God, but you just can't beat flying eagles , you have to wait for me to save you, because I can beat Flying Eagle. It is only natural to let the stronger ones deal with the more dangerous ones, why did His Highness know this truth at that time, but not now?"

"I was only six years old at that time!" Zhou Kai didn't understand the connection at all, and said in surprise, "But I'm 27 years old now!"

"So what?" Twilight was very puzzled, "How old are you than I am?"

"You! Cough cough!" Zhou Yu was choked by the twilight, and he was choked up at the Tanzhong acupoint for a while, and couldn't help but spit out another mouthful of blood, cursing in his heart while wiping the blood from his mouth, "I'm so angry that I vomit blood, why should I?" Will you fall in love with such a heartless fool?! Do evil!"

Twilight couldn't hear Zhou Ga's slander, so she came up and rubbed Zhou Ga's acupoints to help him calm down, and even made up for him: "It's useless if Your Highness doesn't like to listen, what I'm telling is the truth."

"Yes." Zhou Yu was completely speechless, "What you said is the truth, so what do you want?"

"Let me protect His Highness next time." Twilight's expression was extremely serious, but his eyes were filled with real distress, "Otherwise, His Highness is like this, and I will feel worse than being hurt."

Twilight didn't know, he coaxed Zhou Gai back with just one sentence, and Zhou Gai's heart blossomed again, and he couldn't help but secretly boasted: "My little fool is fine with everything else except his mouth."

"Okay." Zhou Ji didn't realize his inconsistency at all, and happily said to Twilight, "I'll remember it, and wait for you to save me next time."

"Then Your Highness is waiting here obediently." Seeing that Zhou Ji did not refute, Twilight's inexplicable anger dissipated, and turned into that docile and obedient Twilight again, coaxing Zhou Ji, "I'll go out and see if I can catch a rabbit. .”

"Will there be rabbits in this cold weather?"

"Yes, there are really no gophers." Twilight looked confident, "Ruier told me how to find it."

Zhou Ji didn't know whether the sudden churning in his stomach was because he heard Rui'er from Twilight's mouth again or because he thought of eating mice. Seeing that Twilight was about to go out, he hurriedly shouted: "Forget about gophers, I'd rather be hungry." on."

"Then I'll catch the rabbit, and I will never let His Highness go hungry." After speaking resolutely, Twilight went out, disappearing into the wind and snow.Zhou Ji looked at his figure submerged in the darkness and let out a long sigh, but before he finished sighing, he saw the twilight coming in again wrapped in the cold wind.

"Caught it so soon?" Zhou Ji wondered.

"No, I picked up a Sparrowhawk." Twilight brought Sparrowhawk, who was dazed by the blizzard, to Zhou Ji, and asked, "This doesn't seem to belong to Ruier, so can I eat it?"

"No one else's." Zhou Ji hugged Sparrowhawk speechlessly, looked left and right for a long time, and guessed, "Could this be Uncle's Sparrowhawk? Did uncle have something to pass to me? "

Twilight hurriedly looked at Sparrowhawk, trying to feel the consonance, but unfortunately Sparrowhawk was too tired or frozen, his eyes were blurred and he couldn't communicate at all.Twilight had no choice but to bring the Sparrowhawk to the fire, and caressed it gently. After a while, the Sparrowhawk came back with a low whistle, met Twilight's eyes, and first let out a long howl.

This swan song of the eagle's howl was colder than the raging blizzard, and sang all the concerns here to the abyss.

In the 35th year of Wuxing, he died later.Countless letter eagles flew to all directions, spreading the national mourning throughout Kyushu.
