Seeing that Lu Heng looked like a weak scholar, and he was the cousin of their future princess of Xiyue, he didn't dare to neglect him, so he smiled and said, "Today is not a festival, there should be something good, right?"
good thing
What else could that be good for
Lu Heng's heart was on fire, but a surprised smile appeared on his face, "Could it be that my cousin and the king of the county got married?"
The soldiers looked at each other in dismay.
Looking at the happy appearance of this person, I think he also hopes that his cousin will marry the king of the county, right
In the future, this one will be the uncle of the king of the county.
The soldiers thought so, and the swords in their hands moved down, and the atmosphere was no longer so tense.
"Aren't they all clansmen in the future?" a soldier said with a smile.
Lu Heng also nodded happily, "Yes, yes. I have a lot to do, everyone, who would go and see the situation. If the marriage between my cousin and the county king really happens, I can prepare a dowry!"
dowry
The soldiers could not help but craned their necks to look at the baggage in the distance.
With so much seed and grain they lack, who wouldn't want
Maybe they have done the errand, and they still hope to get some rewards!
The leading general immediately sent a small soldier to inquire.
After a while, the soldier came back and said with a grin: "Oh, it's really a big happy event. The king of the county is going to marry Miss Pang at noon today, and the square is full of excitement."
Lu Heng's hand hidden in his sleeve clenched tightly at once, and he didn't feel any pain when he pinched the palm of his hand to bleed.
It really is. Qin Yining still sacrificed himself for the Minuo tribe.
Once this is confirmed, Lu Heng can even guess how Qin Yining arranged it.
- That silly girl, probably won't survive tonight.
Lu Heng was like a thousand arrows piercing his heart for a moment.
At this time, he really wished that he could have unparalleled martial arts, so he rushed out of the siege to kidnap Qin Yining and escaped with her!
But it is surrounded by desert. After entering, I couldn't tell the direction back to Da Zhou. And God will not be merciful to give him a good martial arts.
Their group is destined to die in a foreign land.
However, Qin Yining chose such a most tragic and decisive way to sacrifice himself and save his clan.
Lu Heng only felt a severe pain in his heart, his throat was salty and sweet, and a violent cough came up. He couldn't help coughing violently, and he vomited a mouthful of blood on the spot.
"Oh! What's the matter, son?"
The clansmen of the Mino tribe also rushed up to help Lu Heng.
Harbala asked anxiously in Tatar: "What's the matter with you? Let's find that royal doctor!"
However, Lu Heng waved his hand, his pale face was calm, he pulled out a handkerchief from his sleeve, calmly wiped the blood from his lips, smiled at the general, and said, "It's alright, it's an old problem."
The general looked at Lu Heng suspiciously, but he couldn't tell from the look on Lu Heng's face. Although he didn't dare to anger the future princess' cousin, he didn't dare to relax his vigilance, and he didn't talk to Lu Heng anymore.
Lu Heng looked in the direction of the square, his expression was dead silence.
—
Qin Yining was surrounded by the maids and walked out of the large gate of the palace. When he stepped onto the square step by step, the Xiyue people onlookers burst into a wave of cheers.
"Goddess! Princess! Goddess! Princess!"
Standing on the high platform, Zhou Meng, the king of Xiyue County, dressed in red and wearing a golden crown, said with high spirits: "We Xiyue are sheltered by the heavens and favored by the goddess, and this king is the king chosen by the heavens! In addition, our people are simple and kind, After a hundred years of sincere prayers, the goddess finally came to the land of Xiyue with food, and now she has to become the king's concubine!"
"well!"
The people cheered loudly.
There are also many people in the front row watching the woman with the red hijab supported by the maid and whispering:
"Have you seen the goddess? I have seen the goddess!"
"It's really beautiful! It's as beautiful as I imagined, even more beautiful than what the holy book says!"
…
Zhou Meng couldn't hold back his joy, he smiled and turned to look at Qin Yining.
Xiyue's officials were also lined up on both sides, smiling as they looked at Qin Yining who was walking towards the high platform step by step.
At this time, the cheers of the people had reached a limit.
Qin Yining's eardrums were shaken by such a strong cheer, but her heart was calm and cold.
When she married Pang Xiao, she was dressed in red makeup and very grand, but now she wants to marry someone else
No, she would not allow herself to serve two men.
The bright red lips pursed tightly.
Qin Yining's eyes were covered by a red hijab, which was a bright red, so her hearing was exceptionally keen. She suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves amid the huge cheers.
The sound came suddenly and seemed to be getting closer.
Is it a hallucination
Because I think of Pang Xiao, I can't help but think of Pang Xiao's army.
Qin Yining smiled bitterly and was about to step up the steps with the help of the maid.
At this moment, a mutation is happening!
Qin Yining suddenly heard a burst of exclamations and shouts from the people, but before she could react, a slender arm grabbed her arm and threw her out.
Qin Yining's body was hanging in the air, as if someone had thrown a bag into the air, her red hijab was falling, and her red dress was flying. Her eyes didn't immediately adapt to the bright and dazzling sunlight, and she vaguely saw a familiar shadow sitting upright. A black horse stretched out its arms towards her.
Qin Yining was a little dazed, and the time for his body to fall became extraordinarily long, as if he was about to fall into the abyss.
However, she fell into a warm embrace, that embrace was strong and strong, and her breath was filled with the familiar refreshing breath.
"Sister Yi, I finally found you!" Warm lips fell on her forehead, and then she was wrapped around her waist by strong arms and tightly wrapped in her arms.
"You..." Qin Yining sat sideways in front of Pang Xiao, grabbed his upper arm with one hand, and looked up at him.
He has lost a lot of weight, and his facial features are more three-dimensional and profound. The phoenix eyes under the flying sword eyebrows are bloodshot, and the chin is also full of stubble, obviously very tired.
But his eyes were particularly bright, and her figure was reflected in his dark pupils.
Eyes facing each other, Qin Yining's eyes were blurred by tears.
It's really him!
He actually found it in the desert!
Cao Yuqing was lurking in the crowd just now, snatched Qin Yining out and threw it to Pang Xiao. At this time, he had already drawn out his soft sword, and led Liao Zhibing and Jinghu Guards towards Zhou Meng and his ministers.
Zhou Meng was born on the land of Xiyue. He has never experienced any suffering or war in his life. Where have he seen such sturdy cavalry, each of these people is like a tiger going down the mountain, waving the blade and whistling, like a A beast that chooses and devours people.
Zhou Meng was so frightened that his gallbladder was torn apart, he stepped back in a panic, and fell off the stage in one fell swoop.
Fortunately, there were quite a few of his guards in the audience, who hurriedly reached out to catch him, dragging him back in a panic towards the open palace gate.
"Protect the king, protect the king!"
The guards, who had never experienced actual combat, pulled Zhou Meng and the ministers to flee.
The people watching the evening moon also scattered, hula and ran away without a shadow, many people fell, were trampled, and many people lost their shoes...
Cao Yuqing sat on the horse, looked at the closed palace gate in a panic, and then looked at the people of Xiyue who were scattered with birds and beasts, and could not help but sneer and put away the soft sword.
"What kind of hero wants to forcefully marry my sister Yi, what a waste!"
"That's right! I want to take the princess's idea and take a picture of myself without urinating!" A young man beside Cao Yuqing pulled off the hooded black turban and shook the dust on it. It was a tiger.
Qin Yining sat sideways in front of Pang Xiao, still a little unable to return to his senses.
Pang Xiao came to save her
He crossed the desert of no man's land to save her
Pang Xiao put one arm around her, and cherished another kiss on her forehead, the skin on her forehead tickled by the stubble.
"Sister Yi, I'm here."
Qin Yining finally regained his senses, leaning on his shoulder tiredly, like a tired traveler finally returning to the embrace of his family, and like a small animal that was bullied outside and found its owner.
Qin Yining slowly raised his hand, grabbed the clothes on Pang Xiao's shoulder, buried his face in his chest, and finally cried out with a whimper.
Pang Xiao hugged her tightly, listening to her venting cry like a small beast, his eyes also flushed, he hurriedly buried his face on her shoulder, and patted her back with a big hand: "Okay, no Crying, it's my fault, I shouldn't have lost you, don't cry, you see that you've lost so much weight, you must have suffered a lot outside, it's all my fault..."
When there is no one to rely on, Qin Yining can be stronger than anyone else, and even in the face of death, he will not flinch at all.
Because she knows what she should do, when it comes to which step she should take, even if she is heading towards the abyss, she will make a rational choice and walk towards the path she should take.
But now this man is in front of her, she has relatives and support, she no longer has to support and carry everything alone, Qin Yining felt that the tense heartstring suddenly loosened, and the exhaustion all over her body was like a spring sun It was like buds sprout from the ground, so she took off her strength all at once, so she could only hold onto his clothes tightly, bury herself in his arms and cry to vent her grievances.
It seems that all the hardships she has experienced in the past few days are just to wait for such a hug that can make her cry at ease.
The fifty-odd men of Jinghuwei were all covered in dust and sand, and their mouths were dry, but at this time, they were all sitting on their horses that had lost a lot of weight, and looked at their respected prince with a smile, hugging him tightly and crying. the princess.
There were tears in Huzi's eyes, and he was busy rubbing them off with his sleeves.
Cao Yuqing was also very pleased, and said to Liao Zhibing with a light smile: "Brother Liao, thank you very much this time. If it wasn't for your tracking Gu, I still don't know what to do."
Liao Zhibing waved his hand with a smile, and said, "It's good to be able to help the leader of the alliance. But it's not advisable to stay here for a long time. Those people on the tower are watching us. Should we find a place where we can station?"
