Just half a day after the late autumn festival, trouble came, and a tense atmosphere spread in front of Xiang Shu and Che Luofeng. Chen Xing did not expect that the news of Tuoba Yan's arrival in Chilechuan would spread so quickly, perhaps the group of Rouran cavalry informed Che Luofeng when they returned.
Xiang Shu said solemnly: "The people have left, and all martial arts are forbidden in the Chuan. This is the rule of the ancient alliance for 400 years."
Che Luofeng refused to give in at all, and said loudly: "The Xianbei Tuoba clan prostituted me Rouran's wife and daughter, kidnapped me Rouran old and young! Even if it is your friend who is a genius doctor! The family feud is deadly! Offended!" soldiers to chase.
Xiang Shu roared, "Who dares to kill!"
That sound bloomed like a thunderstorm, Chen Xing's ears were sore, his eyes were black, and he almost fainted. Under Xiang Shu's anger, the Rouran cavalry suddenly became fearful and took a half step back in unison.
"Che Luofeng," Xiang Shu said coldly, "you can take revenge, if you kill Tuoba Yan, you will get out of the Yin Mountain with your clan, and you will not be allowed to step into the Chile River for the rest of your life. ."
Che Luofeng gasped in a daze, and was almost half awake after being yelled at. Chen Xing was about to speak to ease the atmosphere, but Xiang Shu raised his hand, stopped his words, and glanced at the cavalry with majesty in his eyes.
Daiguo was a separatist regime established by Tuoba Yan's grandfather Tuoba Shi Yijian and the Tuoba clan in the northeast many years ago, and was later destroyed by Fu Jian. Taking the risk of offending Da Chanyu and chasing after a descendant for revenge is obviously not worthwhile. After the cavalry sobered up, they winked at Che Luofeng, indicating that it was over.
"Shulukong, you...you..." Che Luofeng laughed angrily and said angrily, "You really think Rouran is afraid of you!"
"Go," Xiang said, "you won't stay until the sun rises tomorrow morning."
There are nearly 60,000 Rouran people in the Chile ancient alliance. Once they are expelled from the alliance, it will be of great significance. Hearing the quarrel, many people on the plain gathered around to watch, but Xiang Shu did not give in at all, raised his hand to point to the venue, and said, "This is your choice, I count three, or raise my troops to take revenge, or go back to celebrate the festival. ,three."
Che Luofeng threw the weapon on the ground ruthlessly and rushed out of the crowd. After a while, the Rouran cavalry withdrew cleanly.
Seeing that the direction Che Luofeng was leaving was north, Chen Xing was still apprehensive. I saw that after the crowd dispersed, Xiang Shu summoned another Tie Le man, and gave a low voice, Chen Xing understood in general, and asked a team of cavalry to catch up and escort Tuoba Yan until the other party entered the Great Wall, so as not to be caught by a car. Luo Feng chased after him for revenge.
Chen Xing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you."
Xiang Shu didn't speak, his face was gloomy, he turned around and left, the rest of Chen Xing stood for a while in a melancholy, and suddenly felt that there was a bit of emptiness and loneliness under the lively and prosperous scene in the late autumn festival, he dragged a heavy weight. his legs and returned to the tent.
Xiang Shu took the lead in entering the king's tent, and Chen Xing opened the curtain to enter. Suddenly, there was a lot of chaos in the tent. It was obvious that Che Luofeng had come and took away the things that had been in the tent for the past few days. Xiang Shu watched. This scene was clearly filled with anger.
Chen Xing didn't speak, so he bowed to clean up and said, "Tuoba Yan is my friend, I'm sorry to cause you trouble."
Xiang Shu said: "Che Luofeng has always been like this. After a few days, when he thinks about it clearly, he will come to apologize to you."
Chen Xing remembered what happened at the venue today, and said, "I bought a horse, and I will exchange some food with your clansmen tomorrow, bring some clothes to keep out the cold, and then set off for the north."
Xiang Shu was sitting in the tent, silent, Chen Xing had gradually realized that although Chi Le Chuan was beautiful, it was not his hometown after all. Although Xiangshu's clansmen are enthusiastic, they are not his clansmen after all. After living in Chilechuan for a month, he gradually began to realize that perhaps south of the Yangtze River, the world where the terraced fields are green and the birds are everywhere is the place he should go.
Xiang Shu glanced at Chen Xing, as if he could see through his heart.
Chen Xing simply tidied up the tent for Xiang Shu, and said, "I've stayed too long, I'm afraid it will make it difficult for you again, so I'm going to get out."
Item description: "… "
Chen Xing poured himself a cup of milk tea, sat down, thought about it, scratched his head, and said, "Forget about protecting the Dharma. You are a big danyu, and you have your own responsibilities, so you can't follow me around. Vagrant, so many people need you. I have always had good luck, so don't worry about me."
Xiang Shu remained silent. Chen Xing checked his own medicine bag, put away the dagger, found the map, and looked at it for a while. Based on the parchment that Xiang Shu had copied, as well as the topography of the mountains and rivers outside the Great Wall, he speculated on the location of the Broken Gorge and the Great Lake. , according to the map and the Big Dipper's instructions, go all the way north, maybe you will meet the Akler people, and you will learn a little Xiongnu dialect, and then ask them for directions. Although the future is difficult, there is still hope.
He couldn't afford to delay, and only hoped to find the legendary Dinghaizhu before the spring of next year. As soon as possible, I had a problem on my mind, so I could go back to the south and wait for my death.
It was late in the evening, cheers came from outside, Chen Xing went out to take a look, it was snowing!
"Xiang Shu! It's snowing." Chen Xing returned to the tent, pointed to the outside, and said to Xiang Shu.
Xiang Shu frowned and looked at Chen Xing with a very irritable expression.
The snow was getting heavier and heavier. The first snow after the fall of this year finally came. The north wind shouted, and the heavy snow rolled like goose feathers swept the Chile River. The bonfire would be moved to each tent. Chen Xing watched it for a while in front of the king tent alone. Someone brought dinner. After a brief meal, Xiang Shu just stared at the tent and went out. Chen Xing drank some wine and got used to it. Xiang Shu's attitude of not approaching strangers, he still lay on his couch, covered with a thin wool blanket and fell asleep.
"You can't walk anymore," Xiang Shu finally said. "When it snows, the road in the north will be closed, so we can only wait until the beginning of spring."
Chen Xing didn't hear it, the air kept leaking from under the tent, the blanket was thin, and the cold wave came overnight, and in the middle of the night, Xiang Shu felt that Xiang Shu had added two blankets to cover him.
When I woke up early the next morning, it was already covered in silver, and the unpleasantness of yesterday was instantly swept away.
"My God!" Chen Xing was shocked.
The mountains and rivers, the earth, and the grasslands are all covered with thick snow, just like the silver glittering sugar sprinkled between the heaven and the earth. The sun was shining brightly, shining brightly on the snow. The stream was frozen overnight by thin ice, and the Hu people who got up early were breaking the ice and drinking horses by the stream.
Chen Xing sneezed, his nose was a little blocked, but Xiang Shu didn't know where he went.
"It's so beautiful!" Chen Xing said to himself, washed quickly, saw breakfast on the table, wrapped in thick fur after eating, and walked out with one foot deep and one foot shallow, the whole of Chilechuan changed overnight. It looks like a fairyland.
"Xiang Shu!" Chen Xing stood on the hillside and shouted down.
Xiang Shu was wearing a knee-length tiger-fur coat with a straight waist and a foxtail hat. He was instructing a group of Tiele people, while the Tiele warriors were loading tents and supplies on the horse, as if they wanted to. Do business abroad. When he heard the shouting, Xiang Shu looked at Chen Xing, his lips were red in the sun, and Chen Xing's heart moved.
Xiang Shu made a gesture, indicating that Chen Xing was waiting at a high place and turned around.
"Take you skiing?" Xiang Shu said, "I didn't play during the festival yesterday."
After Chen Xing woke up, his mood was much better, and he said with a smile, "Okay."
He plans to leave tomorrow. Since it is the last day, he must leave some memories. So Xiang Shu carried a cavalry shield on his back, took Chen Xing to the slope, and stepped on the shield with one foot.
Chen Xing: "..."
Xiang Shu: "Come up and hug from behind."
Chen Xing: "How do you play this? Will you fall down! Not even a rope?! If you step on the air, you have to roll down!"
Xiang Shu said impatiently: "Trash! Quick!"
The cavalry shield was not big, Chen Xing tried to step on it, but Xiang Shu put his hands behind his back, locked his arms instantly, dragged him behind his back, and pulled him forcefully, making him hug him tightly. Step on the shield sideways and slide down!
"Ah ah-" Chen Xing was taken by Xiang Shu, and he swooped down from the cliff. A heart almost jumped out of his throat. Xiang Shu stepped on the tail of the shield, bounced, and flew him into the air, An Ran. landing.
Chen Xing: "..."
Xiang Shu: "Come back?"
Chen Xing had lingering fears, but felt that it was too exciting, the slope was steep, and it felt similar to jumping off a cliff.
"I just didn't open my eyes..." Chen Xing said.
"Counsel." Xiang Shu sneered, whistled, summoned the horses, turned over, and took Chen Xingfu up a higher steep slope. Chen Xing looked down, nearly three miles long, and suddenly felt a little weak.
"You're in front this time," Xiang Shu said, "open your eyes!"
Chen Xing exclaimed: "Wow ah ah-"
Then he couldn't help but be held by Xiang Shu again and flew down. But in the last short paragraph, Chen Xing turned his head and said to Xiang: "Xiangshu, I will..."
As soon as he turned his head, the two's lips almost met, Xiang Shu suddenly slipped, Chen Xing was unsteady, and was carried away by the shield, and fell into the snow.
"Hahaha-" Chen Xing got up with a face full of snow and laughed at Xiang Shu, "Did you blush just now!"
Xiang Shu got up quickly, with anger on his face, and said, "What are you doing!"
Chen Xing hurriedly waved his hand to apologize, thinking that a person like Xiang Shu seems very embarrassed to be close to others, and even blushed! When he was almost kissed by Che Luofeng that day, Xiang Shu's reaction was even more intense than that.
Chen Xing picked up the shield and said, "Do it again?"
Xiang Shu took it and walked towards the horse, but Che Luofeng came over from the side, alone, standing in the open space watching the two from a distance.
Xiang Shu gestured to Chen Xing, meaning "You see? Let me just say it?".
Che Luofeng: "A snowball fight?"
Xiang Shu looked at Che Luo Feng and asked, "Are you sober?"
"Alright! Alright!" Che Luofeng waved his hand and suddenly laughed again.
Xiang Shu asked Chen Xing to get on the horse, sat behind him, put his shield on his back, put his hands around Chen Xing's waist, shook the reins, went up the mountain, took a few steps, and looked back.
Only then did Che Luofeng come over angrily. At this time, the Tiele, Rouran, and Xiongnu people who were drunk last night also woke up. A successful ski battle. Thousands of people slide from the top of the mountain to the cliff, the scene is spectacular. Xiang Shu supported Chen Xing to slide in front, while Che Luofeng chased after him.
"Che Luofeng!" Chen Xing turned back, and Xiang Shu forcibly turned his head back and said, "Look ahead!"
Che Luofeng never answered, and played a few more times. There were more and more people, men and women all came, and tens of thousands of people started snowball fights at the foot of the mountain, shouting and shouting, and it was extremely lively.
Chen Xing got off Che Luofeng's snowball a few times in a row, and immediately sensed his hostility. When he looked at Che Luofeng, Che Luofeng smiled provocatively. The meaning was obvious: You stole my An answer.
"I'm going back first!" Chen Xing didn't say anything, and said to Xiang Xiang, "You guys play!"
Xiang Shu also felt it, holding the snowball in his hand, weighing it, Chen Xing turned to leave, Xiang Shu glanced at Chen Xing, then looked at Che Luo Feng and smiled slightly. Che Luofeng pulled away and smiled at Xiang Shu in the sunlight, like a big carefree boy.
Xiang Shu threw the snowball on the ground and turned away.
Chen Xing returned to the king's tent, full of dizziness, knowing that he must have caught a cold last night, so he developed a pill, boiled hot water, took it, and lay on the couch to rest.
Not long after, Xiang Shu brought over a bowl of sweets cooked by the Tiele people. It is the custom of Sichuan. He drank the black ginger brown sugar stewed cake in the first snow. He frowned and said, "Is it cold?"
"Well..." Chen Xing smelled the ginger and knew that it was food to keep out the cold, so he reluctantly got up to drink it, "It's good to sweat."
Xiang Shu said, "The doctor is still ill."
Chen Xing: "Of course the doctor will get sick, but it's not like you are immune to all poisons."
Sitting in the tent, Xiang Shu sneered, "You still have an exorcist? Where's the heart lamp?"
Chen Xing was helpless and said: "The heart lamp is just mana, and it doesn't mean that you will live forever without it protecting your body. Seriously, it is because of the mana of the heart lamp that my body is weak. I also want to be like you, okay? The Han people are not bad in force."
It is true that the Han people are not inferior in military force. Even after hundreds of years, the Hu tribes outside Guan are still very afraid of the strength of the army when Emperor Wu was in court. Chen Xing means that my physique is not good, but you can't equate me with all Han people. What's more, since he was a child, because of the heart lamp, he cast spells, and he had to exhaust his heart and muscles, so he was such a waste of fish.
Chen Xing explained a few words incoherently, then lay down to sleep again. After sweating, he should be fine tomorrow.
So Xiang Shu didn't go out either. He woke up very early today and lay down to sleep on his own. In the evening, it was cold and windy again under the dim sky, and a blizzard started to fall.
Che Luofeng braved the snow and said from outside the tent, "An Da, come out and talk."
Xiang Shu glanced at Chen Xing, got up and went out, for fear of waking him up.
Chen Xing fell asleep. For some reason, maybe God wanted him to hear this answer, and he suddenly woke up, and his mind was still very clear. The soft language that Che Luofeng said, Chen Xing lived in Chilechuan for a period of time and learned a little, and he could roughly infer from the tone of voice that Che Luofeng was a little dissatisfied with him.
"Go outside and say something." Xiang Shu turned to leave, "Or do you want to fight?"
"I'm talking in my own home, and I have to avoid the Han people?!" Che Luofeng said.
Item description: "… "
Xiang Shu's eyes began to show obvious anger, and Che Luofeng said again: "An A, how much instigation did you listen to the Han people?!"
Xiang Shu said angrily: "Shut up! Che Luofeng! He saved your life!"
Che Luofeng roared, "Take my life to threaten me? Can I give him my life back!" As he said that, he pulled out a dagger, drew a picture on his belly, and shouted, "Let him get out of Chilechuan for me! "
Chen Xing immediately sat up in the tent, thinking that he must go out and say something, otherwise, it would be boring to provoke Xiang Shu and Che Luofeng's relationship as an outsider.
Xiang Shu was about to step forward to grab the dagger in Luo Feng's hand, but stopped abruptly.
I saw that in the violent snowstorm, several Tiele knights led a Hu man into the valley.
"The Akle messenger asks to see Da Chanyu!" the leader shouted.
Chen Xing immediately opened the curtain, came out of the king's tent, and glanced at Xiang Shu.
"Come in," Xiang Shu said, "you're still ill."
Che Luofeng's face was obviously bad, Xiang Shu saw that Chen Xing was awake, and signaled everyone to come in.
Chapter 32 Benyuan ┃ Four seas and grasslands are all places of great loneliness, and all the people in the world are among the people of great loneliness
The messenger was trembling with the cold, and as soon as he entered the golden tent, he knelt down on one knee and said aloud in the Hun language:
"All the grasslands of the four seas are the land of Dadanyu, and all the people in the world are the people of Dadanyu. We, the Akle people, highly praise Dadanyu Wuwei, and ask the leader of the Chile League, the master outside the Great Wall, the first warrior, to face me. The clan extended a helping hand and saved my entire clan from the moment of life and death."
Saying that, the messenger respectfully presented a black wooden box, and in the box appeared neatly arranged four gemstone rings, blue, red, ochre, and radiant.
As soon as he saw it, Xiang Shu knew that he had something to ask for. He was wearing a fur robe, but he did not lose his demeanor as a king.
The messenger took a deep breath and said, "This is medical money, and it happened suddenly..."
Chen Xing first noticed the four rings, recalled the volumes he read in the division, and suddenly remembered a set of four-color seal rings, the description seemed to be the same as these four rings. It is rumored that this set of rings is sealed with the four powers of earth, fire, ice and wind. It was made by Sassan of Lite. It was brought back by Zhang Qian along the Silk Road in Han Dynasty, and then went to the people and disappeared... Now the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has been lost, and it is also Unable to verify.
"Have you heard?" Xiang Shu said.
Chen Xing regained his senses and said, "What?"
Xiang Shu translated the words. The wife of the Akle patriarch had a difficult childbirth and was on the way south to the Chile River. Although the Salawusu River was frozen, there was only a thin layer of ice, making it difficult to cross the river, and was even blocked by a blizzard. The family was trapped in the ice and snow.
And because the princess was pregnant with Liujia, it also slowed down the speed of the whole family to go south for the winter, which led to the delay in arriving at Chilechuan.
The Akle people are arrogant and sturdy. They have never been able to integrate into the ancient alliance of Chile. They come last every year after winter. They choose a place and rarely deal with such miscellaneous hus as Tiele, Xiongnu, and Rouran. As soon as he left, the people in the ancient alliance did not have much good impression on him. Moreover, three years ago, he and Rouran fought a war for the water plants, forging an unsolvable blood feud.
"Are you going?" Xiang Shu said, "Che Luofeng, this is the best chance for you to eliminate your blood feud."
Che Luofeng suddenly laughed in anger and let out a burst of crazy laughter.
"Am I right? Shulukong!" As expected, Che Luofeng said, "What did Akler do for the Gumeng? They were not seen when the war started! When the family is wiped out, it is God’s eyes that open the eyes, when things come to an end, if you bring such a box of broken jewelry, you want to give up all your old hatred!”
Xiang Shu had a sullen look on his face, and Chen Xing immediately rounded up and said, "I'll go with the messenger to see."
Che Luofeng contradicting Da Chanyu in public is a big taboo. Considering that the two are An Da, Xiang Shu quickly dispelled his anger and asked Chen Xing, "Are you able to deliver babies?"
Chen Xing naturally knew it, but he was afraid that he would provoke a quarrel between Che Luofeng and Xiang Shu, so he had to say, "I'll do my best, anyway, I have to ask someone from Akler to show me the way, right?"
Xiang Shu: "The order is to go down, gather all the ministries, free up the carriages and horses, and then set off to take Akle's troops across the river."
Chen Xing packed up the medicine box and was about to leave, but Che Luofeng stopped in front of the tent and said, "Whoever wants to help them is against me! The resentment between Rouran and Akler, unless Hulun Buir is dry, Helan Landslide, otherwise it will never be solved!"
Xiang Shu finally got up and walked forward slowly, Chen Xing said, "I'm a doctor, for me, only saving people, you can settle your grievances by yourself, it has nothing to do with me... Che Luofeng, you really Wanting revenge, why not challenge the Aklers? It's just a pregnant woman…”
"Make way." Xiang Shu calmly interrupted Chen Xing's words, and said solemnly to Che Luofeng.
"Shulukong," Che Luofeng said, "are you serious? You really want to protect this guy..."
Before finishing a sentence, Xiang Shu raised his hand, Chen Xing didn't even see him make a move, and Che Luofeng received a heavy slap on the face!
The slap was not crisp and loud, but a muffled sound. Xiang Shu used less than 10% of his strength, and Che Luofeng was hit with his head on the tent post, and everyone shouted at the same time!
Chen Xing: "..."
Chen Xing knew that Xiang Shu was really angry, and hurriedly said: "Don't get angry, there is something to say."
"Drag him out!" Xiang Shu shouted, "Rinse with cold water! Tie him to the post for two hours!"
Immediately, his subordinates escorted Che Luofeng out, and Chen Xing hurriedly motioned to the Ackler messenger: "Let's go, or the Rouran people will come over later and they will trouble you again."
The envoy got on his horse and mounted Chen Xing. He had just left the valley when he saw Xiang Shu also riding out.
"Xiang Shu!" Chen Xing turned back.
Xiang Shu rode his horse side by side with the messenger and said to the messenger, "Go and lead the convoy."
The messenger nodded, Chen Xing was full of doubts, Xiang Shu stretched out his hand to drag him, Chen Xing took advantage of his strength to jump, got on the back of Xiang Shu's horse, the two riders separated, Xiang Shu carried Chen Xing to rush the horse, and fell into the wind and snow.
"Is he alright!" Chen Xing couldn't help but look back.
"Let him calm down." Xiang Shu looked at Feng Xue and said.
Chen Xing hugged Xiang Shu's waist, galloped with him in the snow, and sneezed again.
Xiang Shu slowed down his horse, but Chen Xing said, "The disease is cured! It's just a little empty!"
"Are there many Han people like you?" Xiang Shu said suddenly.
Chen Xing said inexplicably: "What? I said it! Others are not as weak as me, haven't you seen many Han people?"
Xiang Shu replied, "I don't know many Han people."
Chen Xing: "???"
"I said, are the temperament of the Han people like yours?" Xiang Shu said, "It's not easy to be irritated if you are bullied by others?"
Chen Xing: "This is called knowledgeable and reasonable! Gentle and elegant! I'll fuck you! What does it mean to be bullied by others!"
Xiang Shu: "Is it cold? Sit in front?"
Chen Xing: "It's not even colder in front of you! You just want me to shield you from the wind!"
Xiang Shu asked Chen Xing to sit in front of him, opened his fur cloak, and wrapped him. Chen Xing leaned against Xiang Shu's chest, but it was no longer cold. Xiang Shu's body temperature was very hot, like a fire on a winter night, making him feel cold. He was drowsy, and his body was still mixed with the very faint smell of styrax from the Western Regions.
"Drive!" Xiang Shu urged the horses to speed up, as if speeding on the snow field, Chen Xing yawned, hugged Xiang Shu's waist, and fell asleep again. At this moment, he almost forgot that Xiang Shu was the big danyu of the Chi Le League. He was half asleep and half awake, but he only remembered that he was the protector of the law that he had been waiting for and looking for for a long time.
As if he had been waiting for Chen Xing all his life, born for him, they lit the heart lamp, illuminated the dark night in Saibei, and galloped to the end of the land of Shenzhou in the wind.
On the banks of the Salawusu River, in the vast snow and wind, Xiang Shu left his horse on the shore, woke Chen Xing, put down his shield, and let him step on it and wait.
Chen Xing looked dazed and sleepy, turned his head and asked, "What?"
"The horse can't get through, the ice is too thin!" Xiang Shu replied.
Chen Xing: "??"
I saw that Xiang Shu first walked away, then flew towards Chen Xing, jumped in the air, hugged him from behind, and took advantage of the momentum to slide him sideways.
"Crash", the two stepped on their shields and shot into the river. Chen Xing shouted in horror, Xiang Shu was galloping, and the force was just right. The directions were shattered, but the two were safe and sound. Sara Wusu ice water rose into the sky, and the wind blew through. At that moment, Chen Xing seemed to hear some kind of voice in his heart.
In the blink of an eye, Xiang Shu successfully stepped onto the river bank, Chen Xing looked back, and the rushing river water rushed in again, and the broken ice had been scattered.
"You're too bold!" Chen Xing said, "what if you fall?"
Xiang Shu casually put the shield on his back and pulled Chen Xing to walk away in the snow. Chen Xing came back to his senses, seeing that Xiang Shu relied on his own meritorious deeds, the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became.
"Why are you so long-winded?" Xiang Shu said impatiently.
A temporary group of tents appeared not far away, and the Akle people's camp arrived. When someone saw Xiang Shu, they immediately blew their trumpets. The clan king was waiting anxiously, and immediately led a group of warriors out to check. shout.
A quarter of an hour later, in King Akler's tent, Xiang Shu drank milk tea and talked to King Akler.
Chen Xing washed his hands with soju and prepared to go to another small tent to deliver the princess. King Ackler was a burly man of nearly fifty, with a ferocious expression, but he was very respectful to Xiang Shu.
Chen Xing glanced at the princess and found that the situation was a bit dangerous. After a day and a night, if the mother and child were not born again, they would not be able to keep the mother and child.
"In case it can't hold up," Chen Xing said, "I will protect the princess."
Xiang Shu said a few words to King Akler, and the two nodded together, and translated, "Keep the princess."
Xiang Shu put down the tea bowl and went to help, but Chen Xing asked him to stay, seeing that King Akler seemed to be indifferent, but his trembling hands betrayed him.
The princess' face was pale, and several clan women were helping. The production on the grassland was really a matter of fear, and it was more dangerous than the Han people in the south.
Chen Xing poured medicine on Princess Ackler and punctured it again. Seeing that her complexion had recovered a little, she stared at Chen Xing and said, "You... you are... "
"I'm a friend of Da Chanyu." Chen Xing took her hand and said, "How can you speak Chinese? Princess, try your best."
"Xiang... Xiang Yuyan's child, where...?" the princess asked tiredly, "Is he here too?"
"Xiang Shiyan?" Chen Xing regained his senses and realized that this statement was Xiang Shu's mother? ! Chinese? Sure enough, Xiang Shu looks like a Han Chinese!
"You two know each other?" Chen Xing asked in surprise.
"You... are also Han," the princess held Chen Xing's hand, "what's your name?"
Chen Xing was about to exchange a few words, but he regained his senses and hurriedly said: "Now is not the time to chat, concentrate on giving birth, and talk about it after giving birth... Princess, come on, work hard!"
The princess was disheveled, exerted her strength, and screamed: "Ah—"
"I'm sorry, Princess, I want to go overboard."
Having said that, Chen Xing sacrificed the heart lamp, pressed it on the princess's heart, and the white light lit up, protecting her heart, and took turns to apply the needles. Chen Xing used all the means available.
After half an hour, the clan women shouted with joy.
Chen Xing said, "Did it work? What did they say?"
"Head... the head is out." Xiang Shu translated from outside the account.
Chen Xing: "It's cold outside, you go back and drink tea. Princess, keep working hard! You are about to succeed!"
There was a large group of people outside, and the weather was dripping into ice. Chen Xing was sweating like rain. He changed the needle, gave the needle, and fed the princess with medicine, urging her last bit of will. Chen Xing was relieved until the baby cried loudly. Almost collapsed.
Another quarter of an hour later, Chen Xing poured more than half a pot of milk tea in Akler's tent, gasping for breath from exhaustion. King Ackler and the family members of the princess' mother and uncle came over in person and thanked Chen Xing. Chen Xing wanted to return the gift, but Xiang Shu waved his hand, indicating that you were not polite.
"If the things that the Huns gave away are returned, it will be regarded as a humiliation," Xiang said.
Chen Xing had no choice but to accept it, the snow outside was getting heavier and heavier, at least until tomorrow, before crossing the river back to Chilechuan. King Ackler cleared out a warm tent, set it up properly, set up a charcoal fire, and let the two sleep first. After one night, the outside had almost turned into a snowstorm, and the sky was dark and dark, and it was impossible to distinguish between day and night, so Xiang Shu took Chen Xing to the king's tent in Akle to drink tea and eat barbecued meat.
The Xiongnu language spoken by the Akle people is even older than that of the Chilechuan Hu people, and the syllables carry a large number of ancient sounds. Even Xiangshu sometimes cannot understand it. In Chen Xing's ears, it is more like a crow's cry. , dizzy.
The princess hugged the baby who had not opened her eyes and showed it to everyone. Chen Xing smiled happily, touched the baby's fist, and said, "It's a little prince."
King Ackler has been without an heir for many years since his eldest son died. Now the princess is nearly fifty, and she has given birth to another one. She was really overwhelmed with emotion and asked Xiang Shu to name the child. The name "Nadoluo" means "the sea under the mountain" in the ancient Xiongnu.
Chen Xing gestured with his eyes and wanted to ask King Ackler about the map, Xiang Shu nodded and took out the parchment.
"You actually carry it with you?" Chen Xing was a little moved, thinking that he was a little behind before going out, so he should have gone back to get the map.
Xiang Shu told King Akler a lot, and then asked him to look at the map. King Akler suspected it for a while, and then ordered his subordinates to find someone.
"He said he didn't know, but some old hunters in the clan might know." Xiang Shu explained.
Chen Xing was uneasy in his heart, and he could only pray for clues.
The only sound in the tent was the beeping sound of the burning fire. The princess handed the baby to the nurse and smiled, "Is Chen Xing from your mother's uncle's family?"
"What?" Xiang Shu was startled, then said, "No, he is a friend I met in the Central Plains..."
Chen Xing nodded and concentrated on drinking tea. The princess said, "Did you find anyone from your mother's family later?"
"No," Xiang Shu replied, "the army is in chaos, and I don't plan to look for it. My father has been searching for so many years and can't find it."
Chen Xing didn't dare to interrupt, but Xiang Shu seemed to know what he was thinking and said, "My mother is Han."
Chen Xing nodded, and the princess said again, "Twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye."
Xiang Shu heaved a sigh of relief and was a little ecstatic, and met Chen Xing's gaze in a blink of an eye. Chen Xing was puzzled and a little uneasy, and Xiang Shu said, "It doesn't matter, my mother is Han, and it's not a shameful thing."
The princess laughed and said, "He doesn't know? You can tell from the looks."
Chen Xing asked Xiang Shu, but was almost beaten, so he didn't dare to ask again. Xiang Shu only said lightly: "After my mother passed away, my father was too sad, and the clansmen avoided mentioning my mother. Over time, the ancient alliance thought I didn't like to mention it, so no one dared to say it."
"Shulukong's mother," the princess said, "was really beautiful back then, very beautiful."
Chen Xing said: "You can tell from the appearance of your son."
Xiang Shu said casually, "That's why my Chinese name follows my maiden name. I'll tell you now."
Chen Xing thought about it and said, "If there is a chance in the future, you can go to the south to find your mother's uncle's house. I remember that there is a big family of Han people with the surname Xiang..."
"Xiang Yu." Xiang Shu said casually.
Chen Xing nodded and said, "Yes, it's from Pengcheng. After the clothes went to the south, they moved to Kuaiji along with the scholars from the Central Plains. Maybe they can find out about it in Kuaiji."
Xiang Shu said lightly: "Let's talk about it."
The princess said: "Before Yuyan was alive, it was said that she had a Han friend. It was her righteous brother, but I forgot his name for a while. You can also follow this person to find out, maybe he is still alive?"
Item description: "?"
Xiang Shu was a little confused, and the princess said, "I remember that year, it was on the edge of Lake Balikun."
"When did she go to Lake Balikun?" Xiang said.
"Twenty-two years ago, it happened before you were born," the princess said. "The first time she saw her, she went all the way to the north, saying that she wanted to find someone, a man."
Xiang Shu said: "She came to Chilechuan 20 years ago, my father said so before his death."
The princess didn't argue, she smiled and said, "That should be my memory."
"Where is Balikun Lake?" Chen Xing was inexplicable.
The princess said: "More north than this, where we graze in summer."
Xiang Shu interrupted: "She had been outside the Great Wall two years before she gave birth to me?"
The princess tried her best to remember, but couldn't remember. Chen Xing said, "What's the matter? Is it different from your memory?"
Xiang Shu frowned and said, "My father said that in the year I met her, she was hunted down by a family of enemies and passed out in the grassland outside the Great Wall. When my father went hunting, he accidentally rescued her, and she settled in Chilechuan. It took me two years to give birth to me."
Chen Xing was a little curious about the enemy, but after all, it was Xiang Shu's past. He didn't mention it, and he couldn't get to the bottom of it, so he was quiet for a while in the king's tent, until King Ackler's men brought it in. The two old hunters first bowed to Xiang Shuxing, calling him Da Chanyu. After getting up, he spread out the parchment and said a few words.
The princess began to translate: "There is indeed such a place. They asked Da Shanyu how they knew about it."
The old accent is thick, Xiang Shu just saved the effort to distinguish, Chen Xing immediately exclaimed: "Where is it?"
So the two old hunters began to draw the route to the place on another piece of parchment, and the princess added: "They said that this is a cursed place, and there are mountain ghosts that frequently appear. Ten years ago, for hunting, I went in once…”
"Mountain ghost?" Chen Xing said in surprise, "What is a mountain ghost?"
Chen Xing had only heard of mandrills, and the term "mountain ghost" was never recorded in ancient books. The mandrill is a one-legged boy, and the spirits living in the deep mountains have been extinct for a long time.
"The dead," the princess said, "are buried in the mountains, and they will become mountain ghosts if they do not rot for years."
Chen Xing: "!!!"
Item description: "… "
Chen Xing and Xiang Shu looked at each other and thought, isn't that just a dick? !
"Continue." Xiang Shu ordered.
Seeing that the two had finished drawing the map and supplemented each other's past, the "Ka Luosha" in the legend of the Huns did have its place, but I don't know when it was handed down. The dragon fell to the north, turned into three broken mountains, and the flowing dragon blood formed a great lake.
It used to be the sacred mountain where the Huns buried their dead warriors, but as time goes by, the marsh gas produced by the decay of the dragon's corpse gradually revives these dead corpses, and those who inadvertently break into the mountain will never be allowed to leave.
Chen Xing thought to himself that there are many legends of all ethnic groups, and the more purpose is to prevent the cemetery of the clan from being disturbed by accidental hits and hits, so it spreads like a god. If you really want a scorpion, you shouldn’t be here. You run here to train a bunch of scorpions. Everything is frozen in the cold, and you can’t walk. It’s easy to be buried by avalanches. What is so troublesome for?
Xiang Shu said, "What do the mountain ghosts you see look like?"
The two old hunters described it vividly, but neither of them had seen the real appearance of the mountain ghost. Chen Xing breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly noticed that the princess exchanged glances with King Ackler, feeling a little strange. Xiang Shu nodded, thanked the two, and handed the map to Chen Xing.
"Tomorrow, when the Salawusu River is completely frozen, Tiele and the Huns will be able to cross the river and escort you to the Chile River." Xiang Shu said to King Akle, "The address has been chosen for you, and it is still the same as in previous years. camp."
King Ackler thanked him again, and Chen Xing suddenly said, "Do you know anything about mountain ghosts?"
Perhaps it was purely out of intuition. Chen Xing couldn't help but mention one more sentence. He always felt that there might be some things that both King Ackler and the princess were afraid of.
The princess shook her head, her expression a little blank.
King Akler changed the subject and said something to Xiang Shu. Xiang Shu also noticed, but he didn't ask more, just nodded.
That night, the whole clan began to pack up and prepare to wait for the river crossing tomorrow. When Chen Xing returned to the tent, it was too cold, and this was only the beginning of winter. If there was no Yinshan Mountain to block the wind, this group of people would not be able to survive the severe cold on the banks of the Salawusu River in two months.
Chen Xing shivered a little, Xiang Shu said, "You have to go to the north with your physique. The north is even colder."
Chen Xing said: "It's been too empty these days. It'll be good to wait for a little recovery."
Xiang Shu moved the quilt a little and said, "Come here and sleep."
Chen Xing couldn't ask for it, he went over trembling, folded the quilt on Xiang Shu's quilt, and got into his quilt, thinking to himself that you kicked out of your quilt when you got Che Luofeng, how could you be so good to me?
"Is the princess hiding something? Why do I feel that King Ackler seems to know this way too."
"Don't inquire about what others don't want to say."
Chen Xing replied: "You have calmed down a lot recently, and you are no longer aggressive to me."
Xiang Shu: "I'm not sick, why do I want to kill you if you speak well?"
As soon as they slept together, Chen Xing felt a lot warmer, and the whole person came alive again. The two were covered with the same quilt, but the space seemed very small, and their faces were about to stick together, but Chen Xing's face turned red first, and before he could turn his back, Xiang Shu had already turned around and lay down, so as not to get too close, In the end, he bent his knee again, and was slightly pressed against the blanket.
Chen Xing's heart suddenly jumped, and his heart was filled with a feeling of incomprehension and incomprehension. He remembered what he said to Tuoba Yan under the tree that day... I don't think I like Xiangshu a little. No no... Chen Xing forced the thought out of his mind.
Maybe it's because of the sense of dependence on the law? From the day Chen Xing knew that he would find a Dharma protector, he had been full of inexplicable expectations for this person who did not know his name or origin at the time. Every time he got closer to him, this expectation seemed to be fulfilled.
Chen Xing tossed and turned, unable to sleep peacefully. Out of the corner of his eyes, he suddenly noticed that Xiang Shu seemed to be looking at him, so he turned around and wanted to say something.
