Fan Xian looked at her, unable to utter a single word. He finally gradually understood a truth in the world, maybe everything is predestined, everything is predestined, Dodo's life experience seems bizarre, but when you think about it carefully , It was just an occasional thought of Master Ku He decades ago, but this thought fell indistinctly to later generations, fell in front of himself, and fell on the grassland in front of him.
There is no need to think about why Haitang was able to make the people of the northern tribes believe in her identity as a princess, and there is no need to think about how she did all this two years ago. Since Master Ku He threw out this variable before his death, of course He has already made preparations—Ku He managed to hide the truth from his elder brother and left a bloodline of the Karna royal court, so how could he not leave some tokens and the like.
The key is…
"Your parents...?" Fan Xian asked softly, looking at Haitang's bewildered face.
Haitang hugged her knees and didn't move, but felt the man's affection in her heart. He didn't ask about the matters on the grassland, didn't force him to ask, but he thought of the things he cared about the most immediately.
"I passed away when I was very young." The girl's face under the hat looked a little lonely.
Fan Xian didn't continue to ask this question. As for Haitang's parents, how did the last pair of Karna nobles leave this world? Zun is associated with that kind of role, but she must have some guesses in her heart.
"Master said these words to me before he died, and let me choose what to do." Haitang looked at the teal ducks on the lake, and gradually frowned. For some reason, those teal ducks were no longer in the twilight. Instead of playing in the water, he timidly hid in the few aquatic plants by the lake.
"Your choice is to follow his advice, return to the tribe, and then come to the grassland." Fan Xian lowered his head and thought, Songzhi is the surname of King Karna, but this tribe was defeated by Zhan Qingfeng decades ago. The marshal slaughtered it cleanly, so no one in the world thought of the relationship between the name Songzhi Xianling and the Hu people. A trace of pity flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Haitang and said, "If you want to avenge your mother clan, you should also go to the Northern Qi Dynasty." Retaliation, why target us at Daqing?"
"Revenge? I seldom think about things that happened decades ago." Haitang licked the hair protruding from the brim of her hat, glanced at Fan Xian, and said softly, "Just like you, we are very clear about hatred. This kind of thing can't be washed clean. I just went to see how people with the same roots as me live... Anzhi, Hu people are actually human beings, and they also have the right to survive. Moving south, I don’t know how many people died along the way, women and children in the tribe, shouldn’t they live?”
"As for Daqi..." She lowered her head and laughed at herself: "Although the master has pointed out my life experience, he gave me the sky. I am still the saint of Daqi. If I really want to harm Daqi, why should I Run to the prairie."
"I just want the people in these tribes to have a stable country to live in." Haitang stared into Fan Xian's eyes, "So I want to help Speeda unify the grassland, end the continuous strife in the grassland, and give This prairie brings peace."
"Peace?" Fan Xian's voice turned cold all of a sudden, "The unity and peace of the grassland will inevitably lead to an all-out war with Daqing in the future. Is this the future you expect?"
"I will check and balance Speedster." Haitang lowered her head.
"Childish." Fan Xian said softly. The taste in his words was very similar to the sarcasm of Li Hongcheng in Dingzhou City when he scolded him, "The king's ambition will never be able to be checked and balanced by you and me."
"Then what do you think I should do? Could it be that I just watched the Qing army gradually invade the west, occupying the entire prairie one day, and massacring all the people of the Hu tribe?" Haitang frowned, "Everyone has a life. Do you still think that Huren and Central Plains people have different fates?"
"Naturally there is a difference between high and low. The life of the person close to me is naturally precious." Fan Xian said without giving in, "You only think about how the barbarians survive, have you ever thought about my Qing Dynasty being on Xiliang Road? All the way to the west, I don’t know how many houses were burned, and women and children were killed.”
"If this is the peace you want, then I will destroy it all." Fan Xian narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at Haitang's face, "This is a thousand-year-old hatred, and there is no way for our generation to eliminate it...you From the standpoint of the royal court of the grassland, I naturally hope that the Qing Kingdom will back down, but from the standpoint of the Qing Kingdom, I naturally hope that the chaos on the grassland will continue."
Haitang stood up, looked up at Fan Xian slightly, and said, "You have been in the grassland for more than ten days, and you must have found out some things, so why don't you go back, and why are you still waiting for me here?"
"I want to confirm your role." Fan Xian said with a pale face, "Maybe you haven't thought about it yourself, but in fact, you have always regarded yourself as a citizen of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and you have never regarded yourself as a Karna In the name of the princess, it is called to find a living space for the grassland, but in fact... it is for the safety of the Northern Qi's rear, and to hold back the footsteps of my emperor Laozi for the Northern Qi."
Before Haitang could speak, Fan Xian raised his eyebrows and stopped her from speaking: "This is a subconscious behavior... Speaking of this, I have to admire Master Ku He."
He looked at Haitang with pity: "You are a saint, you are the most outstanding person in Tianyi after Kuhe, but your whole life, like mine, seems to be controlled by a superior person. Every step of the choice falls into his calculations, whether active or passive, Ku He is using you to preserve his Great Qi Dynasty."
Ku He has raised Hai Tang for nearly twenty years, and knows her female apprentice very well. She has already calculated Hai Tang's decision after knowing her life experience, and knows that no matter how Hai Tang chooses her own path, she will follow his arrangement and give Qing Guo A painful blow.
Haitang's complexion became more and more lonely. The past two years of assisting Shanyu Speed on the grassland had really consumed too much of her mind. Today at the lakeside, Fan Xian directly exposed her hidden thoughts under the leather robe. She was trying to avoid it, so she found out...
"None of us are saints. We simply cannot treat the people of the world on an equal footing. If I am insidious, you are actually selfish." Fan Xian said with a slight sneer: "You use Xihuzi people's Life, to delay the pace of my Daqing iron cavalry is beneficial to Northern Qi, but have you ever thought... do these people on the grassland really need a powerful royal court and march east?"
"Ku He is really powerful." Fan Xian closed his eyes and said slowly, "Although he was defeated by His Majesty in the end, even if he died, he brought me so much trouble in Daqing... I have to say , these two Zhan family brothers are really the top figures in the world."
Emperor Qing's life in the Southern Expedition and the Northern Expedition was seldom defeated. The only time he was completely defeated was when he was defeated by Zhan Qingfeng, the commander-in-chief of the Wei Dynasty.
Unexpectedly, decades after Zhan Qingfeng's death, before Ku He's death, another landmine was planted in the west of Qing Kingdom.
"You know I'm not such a person." Haitang didn't get angry, she stood beside Fan Xian quietly, and said, "It's just that among many choices, I chose the one that is the best for the grassland and Daqi." path of."
Of course Fan Xian knew that Hai Tang was not that kind of person, he just deliberately wanted to provoke her, his eyes gradually turned cold: "What about me?"
Haitang glanced back at him, and said: "You also said before that we are not saints, and it is impossible to consider the people of the whole world on an equal footing. Now it is you Nanqing sword pointing at the world, and the Northern Qi and Dongyi are all in turmoil. Zhong... If you expect me to consider Nan Qing's interests, isn't that absurd?"
"Absurd?" Fan Xian stared into Haitang's eyes, as if he wanted to see the girl's deepest heart, and said quietly: "A few years ago in a restaurant in Shangjing, I, as the chief inspector of the Qing Kingdom Supervisory Council, talked with you Isn't it ridiculous to make that agreement?"
He laughed self-deprecatingly: "That's right, I am a nobleman in Nanqing, but I want to lift my face and let you slap me in the face. Obviously, my Daqing cavalry will travel all over the world, but I want to form a relationship with a foreign saint." What agreement... Taiping? **** Taiping is indeed absurd, and it is absurd for me to exist in this world."
Farming, drinking and chatting have set this world for twenty years. I recall that when I went to the capital, two people swam with arms together, got drunk together in the building, and talked together under the melon stand in the garden. The young man has set a goal that is naive in the world, but in their eyes, it is extremely beautiful - no war in the world.
Such a naive agreement, but because of the two people who participated in this agreement, it seems close at hand, and it may become a reality at any time, because these two young people have great influence in their respective countries. If the situation does not change, The old man gradually retired, and the future of the country was originally under the control of these two young people.
But now a few years have passed quickly, and the general situation of the world has already undergone drastic changes because of the outbreak of the Dadongshan incident. The world is changing, and people are changing too. Twenty years are far away, and Fan Xian and Haitang seem to be unable to farm, drink and chat anymore.
"I'm not reconciled." Fan Xian's face turned pale, but his eyes became brighter and brighter, "I have been away from Danzhou for five years, and during these five years, no one knows what I want to do, only you know... you know me How much risk did you take for this agreement, how much loss did you suffer, how much did you help Northern Qi."
He stared into Haitang's eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "You know all of this clearly. I did not hesitate to risk being accused of being a traitor a thousand years later. Why... and you ran away without making a sound. , came to the grassland, and started stabbing me in the back."
"I'm not reconciled." Fan Xian's eyes gradually turned cold.
Haitang looked at Fan Xian's face and listened to his faint words. For some reason, her heart ached as if she had been stabbed, and her cheeks turned pale from the pain.
"I didn't think that this matter... would implicate you." Haitang stared at him blankly, feeling that the pain of the man in front of him seemed to fall on her body, "I don't know where those knives came from, After knowing this, I went to Qingzhou City, but someone stole another one."
Although Fan Xian had already guessed that it was Haitang who was a master as high as Ninth Grade who sneaked into Qingzhou to help him destroy the evidence, but at this moment, after hearing her confession, he felt a little better, but his face was still very ugly , Said: "You are still lying to me... The appearance of these knives is a very strange thing."
He grabbed Haitang's skirt, gritted his teeth and said, "You have never broken the connection with that little emperor of Beiqi... This time it is obvious that he is cheating on me. What do you want to cover up for him?"
Haitang put her hand on his, didn't use any force, looked into his eyes with pity and guilt, and said: "I really don't know about this matter, and I don't know what's wrong with Shangjing City, why is your Majesty would do something so stupid."
It's really stupid. The biggest supporter of Northern Qi in the Qing Dynasty is Fan Xian. Although Fan Xian has gradually cut off his relationship with Northern Qi after Dadongshan, if the Northern Qi emperor really wanted to have a future, he would leave Fan Xian. help will be very difficult.
But Fan Xian knew very well what the little Northern Qi emperor was thinking.
He leaned close to Haitang's slightly flushed face, and whispered into her ear: "It's not stupid at all, he wants to force me to rebel? That's impossible... Two years ago in the capital, he wanted to kill me with the help of the Eldest Princess. I helped the boss to take over, but I haven't settled the debt with him...how could I turn against him?"
There was a hint of sarcasm in his words, but Haitang's heart turned cold. It was the first time she knew that during the Qing Dynasty's capital change two years ago, there was actually a shadow of Bei Qi. Thinking about it this way, the context of this matter is It is very clear. The little emperor of Northern Qi knew that Fan Xian was a very vengeful person, so of course he didn't dare to put his hopes on him. In addition, Haitang had been on the grassland for the past two years, so he couldn't act as a bridge between the emperor of Northern Qi and Fan Xian. As they drifted away, for the sake of Northern Qi's safety, the Northern Qi emperor would inevitably choose to break the relationship between Fan Xian and Emperor Qing.
"Your Majesty, there is nothing you can do." At this time, Haitang and Fan Xian's posture was very ambiguous, but what the two said was so shocking, she said quietly: "In the past two years, you have helped Emperor Qing to rectify the government, govern Minsheng, take care of the internal treasury, seeing the imminent war, how dare he trust you?"
"I don't care if he believes me or not, I don't even need your trust now." Fan Xian shook his head, rubbing his cheek against Haitang's cool face, he took a deep breath, and said, "Would you give me your trust?" The little emperor of Northern Qi sent a message, saying that I, Fan Xian, would repay him an unforgettable lesson because of the two great gifts he bestowed on me."
Haitang's body trembled, and she looked at Fan Xian in surprise, not knowing what he would do. In this world, apart from the Grand Master, Fan Xian is probably the only one who dares to teach the king of a country to be so arrogant.
"Don't forget, you are from Qing, and you are the son of Emperor Qing." Haitang sighed and said, "Who would believe that you would consider things from the standpoint of Northern Qi or Dongyi? It's normal for Your Majesty not to believe you." things."
"I consider the issue from the standpoint of the Qing Kingdom, and I don't want the people of the Qing Kingdom to fall into endless bloody wars."
…
…
"You definitely won't tell me what exactly you arranged on the grassland." Haitang put her hands through Fan Xian's armpits naturally, and said, "But I will try my best to stop you."
"Except for my emperor Lao Tzu, no one in this world can stop me now, and neither can you." Fan Xian took off her hat and stroked her hair.
Fan Xian hugged Haitang tightly, but his eyes gradually calmed down. He held her in his arms and squinted his eyes slightly to look at the sky. A goshawk was flying in the twilight. Those water ducks in the lake were caught by this one. Frightened by the goshawk, it hid among the aquatic plants.
In fact, Haitang also noticed the goshawk, and knew why Fan Xian hugged her like this. She sighed in her heart, knowing that she and His Majesty were really sorry for the young man who hugged her, and extremely complicated thoughts arose in her mind. emotions, so he didn't try to break Fan Xian's little thoughts.
"Stay with me for three days." Fan Xian whispered in her ear.
…
…
On the grassland about ten miles away from this lake, hundreds of Xihu cavalry are guarding their king, the owner of this grassland, Shanyu Speeda looks indifferently into the distance, watching the goshawk flying in the sky over there. Scratched marks.
Songzhi Xianling left, and Shanyu was worried that she would not come back, so he followed with his cavalry. For some reason, Shanyu had this kind of worry in his heart, as if someone was about to take the most important thing in his life away. The woman is taken away.
This woman is not beautiful, and she is not as good as the beauties contributed by Geng tribe, but Shan Yu regards her more than anyone else, because this woman has brought him the loyalty of more than ten thousand cavalry, brought him Some strategies for governing the country that I have never thought of, brought a new atmosphere on the grassland, and more importantly... this woman brought peace to Shan Yu, a rare peace.
Whenever he was with the princess of Karna, Shanyu Speeda felt that it was the happiest moment in his life, even if he just sat and looked at each other, he was extremely happy.
He knew that she was the Holy Maiden of the Northern Qi Dynasty, the closed disciple of the great master Ku He, and the person who walked in the world of the mysterious immortal, but he also knew that Songzhi Xianling was a barbarian and his own clan.
If in the future we can sweep Liuhe, break into the grasslands, and sit beside the horses, if we can have her sitting beside us, this world will definitely be much more beautiful.
The goshawk gradually descended, and Shanyu Subida's eyes narrowed, like a falcon, shining with a frightening light.
The girl went after a man, who was that man.
Goshawk can't report to Shan Yu that that man is viciously belittling your treasure, so Shan Yu can still maintain his composure. In other words, Fan Xian's deliberate actions did not have the effect he imagined.
"Rush over and kill him." Looking at Shan Yu's cloudy face, Da Panghu said loudly, "Kill him!"
Su Bida didn't answer the words. When Songzhi Xianling left, he said that she would come back, so she would definitely come back. He respected this woman with a strange background, although he didn't mind using a sword to declare his strength, but He is unwilling to use this method to win a woman's heart.
"Follow them and don't disturb them." Shanyu Subida closed his eyes and said softly, but there was a palpitating chill hidden in his words.
There were so many masters in the royal court beside Shan Yu, if these hundreds of horsemen rushed past at this time, Fan Xian would have great abilities, and on this vast grassland, he might not escape death. But he was very curious, who was the person who could make Songzhi Xianling so moved? Could it be the rumored little boy of Nanqing a few years ago
The master of the prairie is holding the rein tighter, but his expression is still calm. He is destined to become the master of the world. Of course, he will not be messed up because of a powerful minister in Nanqing, but he will not let the young When people come to the grassland, they can go back alive.
Goshawk sent a message, and the Xihu cavalry near Wangting began to mobilize. As soon as Songzhi Xianling separated from the young man, they would start attacking.
However, this follow is three days.
…
…
In three days, Fan Xian and Haitang strolled on the grassland, bought two good horses from a certain tribe, galloped them to their heart's content, and went to a certain Haizi to catch two nets of small whitebait for roasting. After eating, on the last night, they stayed in a larger tribe, surrounded by a fire, eating beef and mutton with those Hu people, and drinking burning knife wine.
Haitang knew what these three days meant. After three days, maybe the two of them would be torn apart from the current complicated relationship and become sworn enemies, so these three days should be cherished.
Fan Xian also knew what these three days meant. Haitang's status as a princess did not resound throughout the grassland, but she could take her to move freely on the grassland. She wanted to use this vivid fact to tell herself that the barbarians and the Central Plains People can live in peace, and barbarians are not naturally barbaric and easy to kill.
Because of guilt, Haitang stayed with Fan Xian for three days without asking anything else, but never thought of Fan Xian's real purpose.
The firelight reflected on the faces of the two of them, they were flushed red, like two children playing in winter. Haitang handed Fan Xian two items and said, "For your child."
Fan Xian took it, and found that it was a string of ruby beads, and a small saber that Huren children like to play with, very cute.
"The beads for Xiao Hua'er, and the knife for Liang Zi?" He raised his brows and said, "Little Hua'er probably likes it, but Liang Zi is still young, so I'm afraid she won't like it... But... thank you, I'm interested."
"Master said before that Mrs. Fan's body is difficult to have a child. Now that Fan Liang is born, her wish has been fulfilled." Haitang smiled lightly and said, "You must have put in a lot of effort."
Three months ago, Lin Wan'er, who had had a hard pregnancy in October, finally gave birth to a Lin'er. Before the palace randomly gave her a name, Fan Xian hurriedly took a Fan Liang and added it to the family tree. This matter made Emperor Qing furious, but fortunately Fan Xian still left the emperor the right to pick up the characters, so he could be considered as a fool of this matter.
Hearing Haitang's words, Fan Xian gave a wry smile. In the past two years, apart from helping His Majesty handle state affairs, most of his energy was devoted to treating Wan'er's illness. Wan'er really paid a lot for having a child, and he In order to develop the medicine, he had to suffer a lot. Fortunately, Teacher Fei Jie had planned the right route in advance, and he managed to get Wan'er pregnant.
"Why did you name it Fan Liang?" Haitang asked curiously. She knew that it would be difficult for her to see this young man again after tonight, so she kept asking, wanting to know how the other party lived in the past two years. , What does the person next to him look like.
"Idle wife is a good mother." Fan Xian said with a smile, "It's interesting, isn't it?"
The people in the tribe gradually fell asleep, and only Fan Xian and Haitang were left by the fire. Both of them seemed to have sensed something, and neither of them felt sleepy at all, quietly waiting for the dawn to come.
"It will be dawn soon." Haitang leaned on Fan Xian's shoulder and said quietly, this woman finally revealed the feelings that a girl should have when it was time to say goodbye.
After a moment of silence, Fan Xian suddenly said, "After dawn, as soon as you leave, that sentimental Shan Yu will tear my body to pieces."
After three days, with the cultivation of the two of them, it was clear that not far behind, the owner of the grassland was forcibly suppressing his anger, waiting to deal Fan Xian the most fatal blow.
Haitang closed her eyes and lazily said: "Don't worry about these things, I'll take care of them."
"I'm a man, and I'm not used to letting women handle things." Fan Xian laughed, and the firelight reflected his smile, making him look extraordinarily friendly and confident, "You are strong, and that Shan Yu is also very strong, but I will Prove that I am stronger than you."
Haitang sat up straight and looked at him quietly, not knowing what he wanted to say.
Fan Xian looked at her calmly, and said, "I never liked stories about couples separated by ethnic groups, Dodo, you have been planning on the grassland for two years, and I have been preparing for four months, and I will completely defeat you." , and cut off all the thoughts that Ku He left behind. I like the peace and happiness on the grassland, but for the safety and happiness of the people of Qing Kingdom, for my safety, and for Shan Yu’s unhappiness, I must destroy all of this."
"If I keep you for three days, I want to keep you for a lifetime."
The young man from Qing Kingdom stood up, looked at the dark grassland before dawn, and said softly.
…
…
(The Mid-Autumn Festival is here, I wish you all a happy holiday and a happy holiday. I don’t want moon cakes, I want monthly tickets... huh.)
