Cheng Lingsu debated the direction, rode his horse and galloped all the way for more than an hour, before he heard the faint neighing of horses, the unfurling of flags, and the sound of shouting and killing in the wind in his ears, and the oncoming wind, sand and dust also Gradually thickened. She reined in the horse, wiped the dust off her face, and looked around. I saw a small dirt hill in the northwest, which was much higher than the flat ground. I turned my horse's head and rushed up the hill in one breath.
It was dusk at this time, and there was still a very thin glow in the distance where the sky and the earth meet, red like blood and bright like fire. Cheng Lingsu looked far away from the top of the hill, but saw countless lit fires and torches, dotted with stars, with great momentum, like stars in the sky, lighting up the whole grassland.
Although she lived one life longer than ordinary people, she was only a girl under eighteen in that life. Even though she lived and died once, she had never seen the confrontation between the two armies. At this moment, seeing so many soldiers and horses all at once, no matter how indifferent she was, she couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.
Looking further, I saw that the place surrounded by thousands of armies seemed to be a hill similar to where she was now. There were crowds of people on the hill, and a huge white-haired banner fluttered violently in the wind, unfolding the path of piercing through the sky. The sound seemed to be able to penetrate the clamor and shouts of the ten thousand armies, echoing over the entire grassland.
Temujin's banner!
It's just that that place is too far away from here, even if Cheng Lingsu has enough eyesight, he can't see the faces of the people on that mountain clearly. From several familiar figures flashing back and forth, Yi Xi could only make out that they seemed to be the Six Monsters of the South of the Yangtze River and Guo Jing, with occasional flashes of swords and soldiers, they should be fighting with people.
Temujin only thought it was Sangkun who wanted to discuss the marriage of his children with him, and he only brought hundreds of people with him when he went out. Under the confrontation between the two armies, the difference in the number of people was too great. How easy is it to protect him in the midst of thousands of troops? What's more, the Jiangnan Six Monsters are not the pinnacle of martial arts masters, but they also have the idea of being wise and safe. Once Sang Kun and Jamuhe blow the horn of charge, they will be hard to resist.
Cheng Lingsu looked at it for a while, and couldn't help but secretly anxious. He turned his head and looked in the direction of Temujin's camp—a small mountain, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack by virtue of its wide field of view when the sky was bright, but when it was dark... If you don't come, it will be too late...
At this moment, under the last ray of sunlight in the distance, the dust suddenly rose up, and it seemed that tens of thousands of people rushed forward, and the team of Sang Kun, who was closest to that place, immediately loosened its position.
Seeing the big banner dragging thunder at the front of the team, Cheng Lingsu felt relieved, only to realize that the palms of his hands holding the reins and whips were full of sweat.
Although she usually has a very mild temper, she is the one who values friendship the most. Although it was purely because he didn't want to lose Temujin's barrier on the desert, and he knew Temujin's intention of marrying her to Dushi, but in the past ten years, he clearly felt the favor Temujin gave her daughter. . Although there will be a bit of guilt for her marriage in this doting, but if you really want to talk about it, how can Cheng Lingsu really not care about the safety of this person she has called "Daddy" for ten years?
Seeing that Sang Kun's cavalry gradually became chaotic, Cheng Lingsu let out a long breath, stopped looking carefully, turned his horse's head, went down the mountain to the other side, and headed back to the camp.
After this battle, it gave Temujin an excuse to send troops to Wang Khan. Not only did he win more with less, he broke through the coalition forces of Wang Han and Za Muhe. If Wanyan Honglie and several martial arts masters hadn't fought hard to break through, even the most famous sixth prince in Dajin would have to confess in the desert Read the latest chapter of the Almighty Guard.
When Tuo Lei told her the news, Cheng Lingsu suddenly thought of Ouyang Ke who was leisurely drunk in the fragrance of flowers, and couldn't help smiling.
With his martial arts, the medicinal power of "Daigoxiang" won't last long, so naturally there won't be any danger to his life in this battle, but if he knows that letting Tuo Lei go will cause such a big disaster, he doesn't know what to do. How would you feel
Seeing her happy, Tuo Lei himself beamed with joy: "There is something more happy. Not only do you no longer have to marry that bad boy Du Shi, but I also brought you a gift." Carry over the big wooden box placed in front of Cheng Lingsu's tent.
Cheng Lingsu saw that he seemed to have hunted some rare prey to offer treasures, so he couldn't help laughing: "I'm missing something, I just go to you and Daddy and ask for it, what gifts are needed..." And when Tuo Lei took the wooden box When she opened it, the word "thing" of her last "gift" was stuck in her throat.
Inside the wooden box was not a rare prey, but a big living person. It was someone Cheng Lingsu knew.
"Toshi?"
The grandson of Wang Han, who used to be pampered and flamboyant in the past, is now curled up in the wooden box, covered in yellow sand and dust, what clothes he was wearing on his body can no longer be seen, and his face is covered with blood. Seeing the wooden box suddenly opened, this always arrogant little overlord trembled all over his body, and squeezed desperately to the corner of the wooden box, with a vague cry in his mouth.
"Yes, Du Shi." Tuo Lei said proudly, "I saw this bad boy in the rebel army when I followed my father to clear up Sangkun's old army the day before yesterday. If you are wronged, just bring him here, let him be killed or beaten, let you deal with it, and let you vent your anger."
"Wronged?" Cheng Lingsu didn't think Du Shi could give her any grievances. The marriage was decided by Temujin and Wang Han, not to mention that Sangkun and Jamuka had a sudden disagreement, even if there was no such incident, she would never just obey the arrangement and get married... This is all history, say Come to think of it, except for the time when she followed the messenger and was taught a lesson by her, it didn't affect her at all...
"Then... such a person, can I do whatever I want?"
"Of course."
"Okay," Cheng Lingsu stretched out his hand to him, "Lend me the knife."
Tuo Lei took off the saber on his waist and handed it to her.
Du Shi froze all over suddenly, and stared at Cheng Lingsu fiercely, like a wild wolf driven to a desperate situation in the depths of the grassland. His trembling body just miraculously calmed down, leaving only his chest heaving violently.
Cheng Lingsu didn't care, and with a flick of his wrist, he skillfully pulled half of the saber flower.
The sharp wind of the golden blade pierced through the air, but Du Shi held his eyelids tightly, and refused to even blink.
The bright knife light was only for a moment, but it seemed to take a long time to fall... The thick rope tied tightly around the wrist snapped.
Du Shi obviously didn't understand what was going on, and he didn't know how many injuries he had on his body, but he could clearly feel that Cheng Lingsu's knife didn't even scrape off a layer of his oily skin.
"Hua Zheng! What are you doing?" Tuo Lei's face changed slightly, he grabbed the single sword from Cheng Lingsu's hand, swished it, and threw it across Du Shi's neck.
As if Du Shi didn't realize it, he was still huddled in the wooden box, the rope in his hand was broken, but he still stared at Cheng Lingsu motionlessly, but his eyes became a little dazed and dazed.
Cheng Lingsu let Tuo Lei snatch the knife from his hand, but held his wrist lightly with his backhand: "You said you can do it with me..."
"That's not to let you let him go..." Tuo Lei held the knife tightly in his hand, and looked at Du Shi with murderous intent in his eyes, "If you catch a wolf and don't kill it, but let it go back, the one who suffers will be killed." The sheep of the house."
"He can't be regarded as the latest chapter of the wolf's perfect peach luck." Cheng Lingsu naturally knew the reason for letting the tiger go back to the mountain, but Wang Han's power belongs to Temujin, and the desert grassland will be Temujin's pasture within a year. A mere capital history, even if he is really a wolf, what kind of waves can he make by himself
"Brother Tuo Lei," Cheng Lingsu saw that Tuo Lei's expression softened, and continued, "If he hadn't clamored to withdraw from the marriage this time, we would not have discovered the plot of Sang Kun and Jamuhe in time. We might as well treat it as..."
"But, where is daddy..." Tuolei had always been obedient to this girl, but now he was a little embarrassed.
Cheng Lingsu is so smart, he immediately understands his expression.
Du Shi is the grandson of Wang Han, without Temujin's approval or acquiescence, even if Tuo Lei had the intention, how could he send such an important prisoner to her for "disposition"
"I'll go talk to daddy."
"Forget it." Tuolei pulled Cheng Lingsu back, hesitated for a moment, and then patted his chest, "You can do whatever you want, daddy, leave it to me."
Although these words are simple, Tuo Lei respects Temujin like a god and never disobeys his orders. Now that he can say these words... Cheng Lingsu couldn't help feeling warm in his heart. I have never experienced such wholehearted protection.
She has long been used to having to deal with everything on her own, even if she once had a "big brother"...
For the first time, Cheng Lingsu stretched out his arms and hugged Tuolei, imitating the real sons and daughters of the desert.
He has always known that although his sister misses him in her heart, she is rarely willing to be so close to others, Tuo Lei was a little flattered all of a sudden, and after a moment of stunned, he stretched out his arms and hugged her tightly.
After all, Cheng Lingsu was a woman of the Han family at heart, and after only a moment of revealing her true feelings, she felt embarrassed, let go of her hand embarrassingly, took two steps back, her face was slightly red.
Tuo Lei laughed out loud.
"By the way, I almost forgot. Daddy asked me to tell you something." Tuo Lei turned his head and directed his soldiers to send Du Shi far away, to a place where even Temujin couldn't see him, and then turned around and patted Patted her on the shoulder, "Daddy said, in the bright daytime, you should be as deep and careful as a wolf; in the dark night, you should be as strong and patient as a crow."
Cheng Lingsu's heart trembled: "Dad specifically asked you to tell me this?"
"Yes," Tuo Lei nodded, "Dad wanted to marry you to Du Shi at that time because Wang Han was powerful, and we had to be patient. He said, it would be nice if you could understand this truth."
Cheng Lingsu was silent. Temujin would not say nothing, he must be patient when encountering difficulties, this is not bad. But what does "deep and careful" refer to
In the past ten years, she has been keeping a low profile in the world, and she has taken secret actions several times, whether it is saving people or defending, she has avoided Temujin's eyes and ears. After all the calculations, it was the time when Du Shi visited...
And this time, Du Shi fell into Temujin's hands first...
Cheng Lingsu lowered his eyes and made a secret decision in his heart.
The author has something to say: The original words of Temujin's famous saying: Be as deep and careful as a male wolf in the bright day! In the dark night, be like a crow, have strong endurance!
I'm about to bid farewell to the desert~
Ouyang Ke: Hey hey hey! This young master is so graceful and suave... He didn't even give me a shot!
