A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he took a closer look at the arrow in his hand: Damn girl, if you want to know the news about your son, come and ask me in person! Suddenly and angrily, she has been searching and chasing this girl all her life. Why does she think that she should unconditionally listen to her and help her take care of her son for the rest of her life
Yelu Longxu asked loudly: "Your Majesty, are we going to withdraw our troops like this?"
King Qin glared: "The big snake has been prepared for a long time. If you are brave, you can catch up."
Yelu Longxu was shocked by Hua Rong's two shootings and lost his courage. He could only resist and said: "But, we have set fire to burn out all their snake venom..."
"See for yourself."
Yelulongxu followed King Qin's finger and saw that the fire in front of him was already weak. The plants were dense in summer and it rained again, so it was not completely dry. Even though pine oil was added, it could not burn very far. In addition, the wild people's After putting out the fire, the fire only spread a few feet across the Shuihua River and then became weak. It could not get close to the range of the snake flower and snake venom.
He was dejected: "Are we going to let the Orochi tribe go like this?"
King Qin put the arrow in the quiver behind him and waved his hand: "This tribe does no harm to us. We don't have to attack with force and lose our troops. I have my own way to deal with them."
Yelu Longxu did not dare to say anything anymore and could only retreat.
In the spacious field, the torches lit up as brightly as day.
The big snake knelt on the ground, holding a crutch engraved with a golden snake head toward the sky, and prayed loudly: "Thanks to the great snake god, we have defeated the enemy again."
He turned around and placed the snake staff in front of Hua Rong reverently: "Chief, thank you for your alertness and bravery in driving away the enemy."
Hua Rong smiled slightly, took the snake staff, and worshiped the sky three times like him. In fact, he knew in his heart that King Qin must have seen the arrow he shot and recognized him. Otherwise, I don’t know how he would be killed or injured tonight. heavy.
The big snake asked again: "Chief, will the enemy come again?"
She pondered for a moment: "Not for the time being. In the past few days, you can go step by step and don't panic."
The big snake was very happy and ordered the tribe to disperse and rest.
Zhahe stood aside, waiting to say something, but he didn't say anything.
It was the darkest time before dawn, and the grass on both sides of the river was undulating in the breeze, and there were still traces of scorch.
Slowly, there is a glimmer of light, and you can see the wild flowers that have fallen on the ground, with the smell of burnt and earthy smells, mixed into the nose. The flowers melt and rein in, quietly standing in a clump of deep grass. Black moonlight There were pieces of wood in his mouth, and he held his head high, unable to neigh.
There was a sound of dede from the opposite side, and a horse was approaching.
Hua Rong's heart skipped a beat. King Qin was indeed here. How should he face him? Or did you just turn around and leave after inquiring about the little tiger head? Or congratulate him on getting married and having a baby? She suddenly became nervous. When King Qin got married, she didn't even give him a gift. Due to emotions and reasons, she should give him a generous gift, but what could she give him
"Mrs. Yue..."
Her heartbeat almost stopped. She opened her eyes wide and looked at the man in military uniform on the other side. It was An Zhigang.
It's not King Qin. King Qin didn't come.
I felt sad for a while, King Qin, he didn't come.
An Zhigang jumped off his horse and said very politely: "Mrs. Yue, I came to negotiate on the order of the king."
Negotiate, negotiate for what
"I'm sorry, we never knew that you were the leader of the Orochi Tribe before. It really destroyed the Dragon King Temple. The King said that as long as you pay tribute of 50 wild donkeys and 100 cattle and sheep every year, we will no longer attack the Orochi Tribe."
50 wild donkeys and 100 cattle and sheep are not too much if they can buy peace.
But, where is the little tiger head? Where is the little tiger head
Hua Rong forced himself to calm down: "An Zhigang, where is Xiao Hutou? How are he?"
An Zhigang was waiting for her to agree to the condition of "surrender", but when he heard her change the topic, he was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Little Hutou is on Changlin Island, he is very good."
Hua Rong closed his eyes slightly and held the bow and arrow in his hand tightly. Changlin Island is where Li Tinglan lives. King Qin, didn't he promise to let Little Hutou stay on Luoxia Island? Why was it sent to Changlin Island
"Mrs. Yue, please rest assured. Little Tiger Head is being taken care of by Uncle Yang and his wife on Changlin Island."
"Madam" is Li Tinglan. King Qin, he actually trusted the little tiger head to be taken care of by Li Tinglan and came to the Liao Kingdom to be the king himself!
She nodded with great difficulty, her voice dry: "Please tell King Qin for me, thank him very much."
"Mrs. Yue..."
She waved her hand and said, "I agree to your terms. I will donate 50 wild donkeys and 100 cattle and sheep every year. Don't worry, these things will be sent across the Flower Watering River in three days."
An Zhigang was overjoyed and held up his hands: "Take care, Mrs. Yue. The king is very busy these days and has no time to meet with you. As you know, he has to deal with many leaders of the savage tribes and appease them. When he has time in the future, he... "
She interrupted him: "No, tell him I'm fine."
An Zhigang bowed again and said goodbye.
The morning sun has risen, and the wildflowers on both sides of the watering river are undulating with the breeze. One by one, the flowers are facing the sun, colorful and brilliant.
"The king said that he is old and will never look for you across the world like before. If you don't go back, he will marry another woman."
The words are still in my ears, and the green necklace on his wrist is also in front of my eyes. King Qin, he has indeed achieved happiness.
Hei Yueguang had taken off the piece of hair in his mouth and let out a neighing sound. The long dark mane shook with dew and was dripping wet. A drop of dew fell from his hair, and Hua Rong realized that his hair had also been soaked by the morning dew. It was wet with dew and felt cold all over.
… … …
After a long time, she pulled the reins of the horse and walked back slowly. Her mind was empty and she couldn't think of anything.
It wasn't until her back completely disappeared that a figure came out from behind the big tree across the watering river. After staring for so long, her heart was no longer excited or beating wildly. As expected, the damn girl only asked the little tiger head. Without even asking yourself! King Qin punched the tree hard, causing birds to fly.
An Zhigang stepped out quietly and lowered his voice: "Your Majesty, Madam seems very sad."
sad? Will she feel bad for herself? Or sad for her son? They leave without saying goodbye every time. For more than ten years, the two have been playing hide and seek. He is tired of this situation. Damn girl, do you think she is the girl who was young? I don't even care about my own son, so I feel relieved.
"Did she say anything else?"
"No, madam only said that the tribute will be delivered on time."
There is a heart knot between the two of them, and for her, if she can never untie the knot, she will never have peace. Even if she reunites with her again, even if we can be together, she will always be worried about her at any time. This time, we must find out clearly and cut off the knot in her heart.
King Qin looked at the vibrant grassland opposite, the patches of wild flowers, and the dense jungle beyond. He felt relieved for some reason. What he was most afraid of was that she had no choice but to defect to Jin Wushu, but now he saw Come on, the dead girl did not disappoint me. She was extremely happy. This was Hua Rong. She had been thinking about Hua Rong for half her life. Just like the first time she met her again, the frail girl turned out to be a sharp archer; now, The woman who survived the catastrophe became the leader of the savage tribe again. It was a unique kind of pride. She was proud of her own woman. She never fell to the bottom at any time. How wonderful!
He looked in the direction of Lin'an and said to himself: Yue Pengju, if you have a spirit in heaven, you should be proud of your wife. Girl, all the things she has done and experienced are all because of you!
He took the unplugged arrowhead, looked at it in his hand, put it back in his arms, and then told An Zhigang: "You must not reveal the whereabouts of my wife to anyone."
"yes."
Dashe and Zhahe, who had been waiting for a long time, saw Hua Rong return. Their hearts were relieved and they immediately came over to greet them. Hua Rong told them King Qin's request, and the two were delighted. 50 wild donkeys, 100 wild donkeys A cow and a sheep, this number is very insignificant to the tribe. The big snake couldn't believe it: "Chief, is this really all you need? If you want these, you don't need time to prepare, we can send them to you tomorrow."
Hua Rong shook his head: "Let's just follow the agreement and send it off in three days."
Zhahe was overjoyed: "It must be the king. No one except the king would treat us like this."
Hua Rong whispered: "Since he doesn't want to meet us, he has his reasons. You don't need to mention him."
"Yes, little brother, I know."
Hua Rong had mixed feelings and didn't know what to say. He excused himself from having a headache and went back to the room in the tree to lie down. Honey syrup and roasted wild ass meat were prepared on the table, which was delicious. Hua Rong didn't have any appetite, either. I couldn't eat it, so I just took one look at it and fell asleep.
The fourth prince's tent.
Almost everyone discovered that the arrogant woman had not shown up for several days. Especially Wang Junhua and Yelu Guanyin, they had no idea what Hua Rong had planned. Has she left or gone somewhere else? Both of them had the same idea, wishing that Hua Rong had left or was driven away by the fourth prince. Only in this way would the two of them get what they need and win their own spring.
dusk.
A person stands on the edge of a mangrove forest. In front is the deep jungle, behind is the green grassland, and a small river ditch less than three feet separates the two. The boundary is clear.
The setting sun cast his shadow on the grass. He looked around for a long time, hoping to hear the sound of horse hooves or see a human figure in the mangrove forest - that would mean Hua Rong was back. However, he had been waiting for a long time. It was day and there was no sign of anyone. The pain of parting came from the fact that we had been together day and night. I was used to someone's presence, but she suddenly disappeared. This was the first time in my life that I had experienced that anxious and longing mood.
However, every night, there is disappointment, strong disappointment.
Lu Wenlong ran over with both guns raised and shouted loudly: "Dad, mom is not back yet?"
He shook his head.
Lu Wenlong was also very disappointed. He ran to him, sat on the grass, and wiped the sweat from his head: "Dad, I am so used to it these days. The food cooked by my mother is so delicious. The food cooked by the cook is better than what my mother cooked." tasty."
Jin Wushu laughed and sat down next to his son. He looked at the singlet he was wearing with tiger skin and gold trim. It was an improved clothing that combined Hu clothing and Han clothing. It was convenient and beautiful, and the stitching was even. Dense, although there is no exquisite embroidery, the details reflect the sewing worker's attentiveness and patience.
