Early the next morning, Murong Ke sent someone to summon Ah Qing immediately.Zhao Wujing didn't dare to neglect, and presented it to Ah Qing himself.Seeing that Murong Ke dared to use the word "summoning", Ah Qing's subordinates all showed anger, but no one dared to say anything more.Ah Qing looked calm, and said: "I have one more thing, I want to tell my subordinates, please wait a moment." Zhao Wujiu smiled and said: "Princess, please don't let the last general be in trouble. Please, Princess." Ah Qing pulled Shi Fu aside, and said bluntly: "I have practiced for the past two days, and I only feel that there is another inner breath in my body, which is extremely thick, but it is not mine. Tell me honestly, who saved me when I was unconscious? I?"

Knowing that he couldn't hide it from her anymore, Shi Fu had no choice but to tell the story of Daozeng saving her, and finally said: "Master Dao was taken away by several eminent monks from the White Horse Temple. Talking about it with Miss is really a capital crime." After a while, Ah Qing said: "Xiao Jin...is he alright?" Shi Fu said: "He is fine. The villain asked about his itinerary, he said that he was going back to the south of the Yangtze River, and the villain has already sent someone to send a letter to Lao's family to take care of them." Ah Qing sighed quietly and said nothing more.She came out and ordered Fulidu to restrain her subordinates, and led the people to move forward slowly. She only brought two captains, and went to Julu with Zhao Wuzheng.

After driving for several hours, until the afternoon, under the blue sky and blue sun, dozens of clouds of smoke were seen rising from behind a mountain in the distance.Zhao Wujiu said: "That's where the general's headquarters is, and it's also where your people gather." Ah Qing smiled and said: "The orphans, widows, old, weak, sick and disabled of my family still need to trouble the general to supervise them personally, I am really ashamed." Zhao Wuzhen said embarrassingly: "The general's intention is to protect them nearby so that they will not be hurt by others again. Slaughter... Princess please, just climb up this hill."

When everyone rode up the mountain, Ah Qing heard a low humming sound, the louder the sound as they climbed up, it was like the sound of the wind, but it was more chaotic and fragmented.Ah Qing's heart skipped a beat for some reason following the sound.She originally took the lead, but now she slowly slowed down, allowing Zhao Wujing to rush to the front. She looked at the approaching top of the hill, and even her breathing became short of breath.The buzzing sound became louder and louder, and it seemed that tens of thousands of people were clamoring together, but they couldn't hear a word clearly.From time to time, the neighing of war horses is mixed in, and occasionally there is the sound of galloping horses on the top of the mountain.Ah Qing didn't know what was going to happen to her, she only knew that she had to face it.

Zhao Wujiu had already reached the top of the mountain, turned around and said: "Princess, please hurry up." A Qing gritted his teeth, flicked his horsewhip, and rushed straight to the top against the hunting mountain wind. Impressively cheerful. What she was on was a long, flat ridge winding from west to east, and a few miles away on the opposite side was another taller and longer mountain range, extending from west to north, with a long, thick cloud pressing down on the top of the mountain. bring.Where the two mountains meet in the west is a canyon less than three miles wide, while in the east is the wide Zhang River.Two mountains and one water tightly sandwich a narrow and flat basin in the middle.

Looking around, there are at least 50,000 people crowded in the basin, and it is they who made the buzzing sound.They are ragged fugitives, dragging their sons and daughters, and carrying simple and tattered luggage; they are scarred and incomplete soldiers, holding knives with missing edges, and sticking guns with broken ends; They are mothers and daughters who have lost their fathers, parents who have lost their children; they are people who have lost their homes, relatives, and dignity...the subjugated people who have lost everything. They had no tents, no food, no firewood, no cattle and horses, and no broken mats to lie on.They are in the dirty mud, in the grassland full of puddles, on the mounds infested by poisonous insects and snakes... They sit, squat or stand, looking up at the blue sky wearily and weakly, and those on the top of the mountain under the blue sky. Shaky gloss.

The luster flowed among the armors of the 30,000 Yan State cavalry on the ridge, flowed in the tips of countless spears and swords, and flowed in the eyes of 30,000 pairs of Yan State soldiers who were eager to kill. Ah Qing looked to the ridge to the left, and there were civet cat flags, fox flags, cloud beast flags, and 6,000 light cavalry soldiers in khaki uniforms; looking to the right, there were cloud flags, wind flags, rain flags, and moon flags, and 3,000 infantry soldiers lined up. Five rows, with five thousand crossbowmen behind them.Opposite her, on the mountainside, there is a dense mass of heavy cavalry, flying the flying bear flag, flying leopard flag, flying tiger flag, flying elephant flag... You don't need to guess, it is Murong Ke's main force.Behind these cavalry, there are seven tall flagpoles, which should be the main camp.

"You don't even need to show your position," Ah Qing sighed: "Infantry and crossbowmen don't even have cavalry to support and protect them. So you also know that what you are facing is the people who have no resistance." Zhao Wuchen looked embarrassed, and was about to say something when he saw a line of tears slowly streaming from the corner of Ah Qing's eyes.He thought that Ah Qing felt emotional when he saw the miserable situation of the tribe, and hurriedly said: "The army has marched south for several months, and the food, grass and supplies have been exhausted, and there is no way to take care of it in a hurry..."

Ah Qing raised his hand to stop him from continuing, and said with a smile: "You misunderstood. I'm glad—so many people are still alive, it's great, it's great..." Just as he was talking, he saw three white horses running up from the hillside, and the first one was holding a scepter and wearing a high crown.Zhao Wuqiu said: "The general's envoy is here." He hurriedly got off his horse to greet him.Ah Qing sat on the horse and did not move.The envoy ran close and said loudly: "Are you Shi Lan, the owner of the dead Zhao Qinghe County? The general has an order, why don't you get off your horse and obey the order?"

The two school captains behind Ah Qing shouted: "Bastard!" There was a sound of swords being drawn, and the three of them were surrounded by more than a dozen horsemen.Zhao Wujiu said with a distressed expression: "Princess, please dismount." Ah Qing took a deep breath, turned over and dismounted, and the two captains had no choice but to dismount.The envoy said: "Kneel down and listen to the order!" Zhao Wuchen saw the murderous look in Ah Qing's eyes, blood was bleeding from his lips, and hurriedly said: "My lord, although this person is a man of subjugation, after all, he has a noble blood, it seems don't have to..."

The envoy glanced at him, and said contemptuously: "Who are you? Do you have a place to speak here? You can retreat quickly!" Zhao Wujiu bowed and retreated.But the envoy no longer forced Ah Qing to kneel down, and said loudly: "General's order: Commander Shi Lan of the dead Zhao Qinghe County, come to the camp to see him!" After speaking, he pointed the scepter in his hand at Ah Qing, stopped talking, turned around and drove down the mountain.Zhao Wujiu hurriedly said: "Princess, please follow!" Ah Qing silently got on the horse, turned back to the two captains and said, "You don't have to follow me anymore, go and be with the clansmen." away. At the moment Zhao Wujiu is still leading the way, leading Ah Qing down the mountain through several closely guarded lines of defense.When they were about to arrive at the place where the Jie people gathered, they saw the three envoys galloping ahead on horseback, causing the people on the road to run away one after another, in a panic.Ah Qing suddenly reined in his horse, turned over and jumped off.Zhao Wujing was afraid that she would do something rebellious, so he grabbed the handle of the knife and said in surprise, "What are you doing?" Ah Qing said calmly: "My people are resting here, I can't ride a horse, I would like to walk over." Saying that, he let go of the horse and strode towards the crowd.Zhao Wujing had nothing to do.He had a duty to send Ah Qing to meet the general, but for some reason he did not dare to offend this seemingly weak woman, so he jumped off the horse and followed her. Zhao Wujiu walked among the Jie people, seeing their surprised and timid eyes, seeing all kinds of rotten wounds and broken limbs, smelling all kinds of stench and bloody smell, he felt dizzy in his head, deeply regretted that he took This hot job.But Ah Qing in front was walking fast and steadily, he didn't dare to fall, so he had to grit his teeth and keep up. After walking for a while, Ah Qing had already reached the center, when Ah Qing suddenly saw hundreds of people sitting together, weaving something with wild flowers and grass roots.She went up to look, and saw that all those people looked miserable, and many of them burst into tears, but they wove the wreaths that children liked the most.There was a sudden jump in her heart for no reason, and in an instant, Xiaoyu wearing a wreath, standing in the bright sunshine and smiling lightly... It took her a long time to summon up the courage to ask an old woman: " Old lady, you... what are you doing?" The old lady saw the soldiers of Yan Kingdom behind her, although she was afraid, but the girl in front of her was dressed in the noble costume of her clan, and said: "I... the little people are seeing Princess Liushu off." "what?" The old lady cried out, and said: "The news came yesterday that Princess Liushu was taken away by the Han people voluntarily in Juyeze to save her people. But she didn't want to be humiliated, so she begged the Longwei General Murong Chui of Yan Kingdom , when she was about to enter Dongping, she shot him dead with an arrow. I heard that the number one warrior of our clan, Fu Mo Lishu, was killed at the same time... Woo... Is our Great Zhao really dead? Even like this All of my good daughters are dead...we...we heard that the princess likes flower garlands, so here...he is here for her..." After she spoke, she couldn't make a sound, and everyone around her burst into tears together. Zhao Wujiu saw Ah Qing's body trembling uncontrollably from behind, as if he was about to collapse.He was taken aback. If he was really soft, he couldn't meet the general here. He couldn't bear the responsibility, so he hurriedly said: "Princess! Please mourn and respect yourself!" The old woman raised her head in surprise when she heard him say the word "princess master", and said, "You... who are you?" Ah Qing was trembling, covered his face and trembled, and suddenly opened his mouth, spitting out a mouthful of blood.At this moment, there was a commotion in the front, and the envoy rode back again, shouting: "What's the matter? Why don't you hurry up, do you want the general to wait?" The old woman and the Jie people beside her hurriedly retreated far away. of. The envoy shouted twice, but Ah Qing still bowed his head and did not answer.Zhao Wujiu said anxiously: "Princess, please mourn! Please meet the general immediately!" The envoy was annoyed, and galloped up to Ah Qing's side, slapped her on the head with his scepter, and shouted: "Bastard! How dare you disobey the general's order, do you want to die? Hey!" When he knocked down the stick again, suddenly his hand tightened, Ah Qing grabbed the stick, and said slowly: "I heard." The envoy tugged, but the scepter remained motionless as if pressed by a boulder. He became even more annoyed, and said loudly, "What did you say? You bastard..." Before the words finished, Ah Qing looked up to the sky and yelled word by word: "Da-Zhao-Qing-He-Jun-Master-Shi-Lan-I heard-see-it!" Like rolling thunder exploding beside his ears, there was a buzzing in Zhao Wujiu's ears, and the people around him covered their ears to avoid dodging.The horses of the two guards stood up in shock, threw the guards to the ground, and ran to the side frantically.This roar spread far away, and echoed between the two mountains. Even the horses on the ridge were startled and barked wildly. The envoy sat motionless on the horse. After a while, blood slowly flowed out from the ears first, then the eyes, the nose, and fell on the white horse's back drop by drop.The horse barely stood up, but finally its legs gave way, and it fell to the ground with the envoy. Ah Qing casually threw the scepter on the envoy's body, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said, "You heard me now." Zhao Wujiu was dizzy from the shock, but when he saw the envoy fell dead, he knew that today's affairs were not good, so he tried his best to get up.Before he could stand still, he only heard a rustling sound around him, and when he looked around, he saw that there was already darkness and kneeling around him.This movement quickly spread out like ripples. People in the distance, people in the distance... all turned to this side, knelt down and prostrated themselves on the ground.Suddenly, in this long and narrow basin, I and Ah Qing have become the only ones standing.In just a blink of an eye, tens of thousands of people were all buried in the mud and grass.Under the gaze of tens of thousands of foreign soldiers, none of them dared to say anything, but needless to say, Ah Qing had already heard the cry in their hearts.So she stood facing north, quietly watching a group of people rushing out of Murong Ke's base camp, running towards her as if flying. This time, five envoys came, holding five-flowered scepters, followed by eight captains, leading a black horse.This is a gift to welcome the Marquis. Ah Qing adjusted his clothes and wiped the hair from his forehead.A Jie man next to him risked his life to offer a long scarf from his tribe. She accepted it with a smile, wrapped it around her head, and then bowed her hands to salute the scepter. After the ceremony, she calmly mounted her horse.She looked around at the clansmen who were kneeling on the ground, pulled the reins, and followed the envoys to the mountain surrounded by the school captain. Zhao Wuzhen didn't heave a sigh of relief until he saw her drive into the camp gate, and sat down on the ground, wiping the sweat from his forehead.Suddenly startled, he jumped up again, seeing the gloomy eyes of the Jie people around him staring at him, he felt terrified, holding the handle of the knife, and ran back from the original road with deep kicks and shallow kicks.
Ah Qing entered the camp surrounded by five envoys and eight captains.This is a huge marching tent, more than ten feet long and wide, but the layout is very simple, except for weapons, bows and arrows, and two huge maps, there is no decoration.At this moment, apart from the guards and servants standing around the tent, and the two sitting in front of the table, there are no other generals.As soon as they entered the account, one person who was looking down at the mansion newspaper before the case quickly raised his head and said with a smile: "Princess Zhao Qinghe, you have such a great momentum." Ah Qing knew this person, Murong Ke, the prime minister of Yan Guo Wen Tao Wu Lue, the king of Taiyuan, and the general of Fu Guo.When he was seventeen years old and Murong Chui was thirteen years old when they defeated Goguryeo and came to the court to pay tribute, the young Ah Qing accompanied his father on behalf of the emperor to hunt and entertain in Zhanglin.The tent was bigger than this, and there were more military horses than outside... But at that time, I was sitting beside my father, high above me, watching Murong Ke bow down as a vassal.But now, the difference in status is more than thousands of miles... Murong Ke pushed away the mansion report on the case, and said to another person: "According to this first." The man took the order and was about to go out, Murong Ke said: "No need, you will deal with it here." Get up, move your hands, waved: "You all step back." The envoys and the school lieutenant saluted and retreated.Murong Ke said: "Princess, please sit down. I was rude just now, and I would like to thank the princess here." Ah Qing was furious just now because of Xiao Yu's death, now when he entered the camp and saw Murong Ke who was in charge of the army, he felt timid after all, and besides, he was carrying the lives of tens of thousands of people, so he didn't dare to be careless in the slightest, knelt down and bowed his head He said: "People who are subjugated, how dare you accept this? Just now I heard the news about Princess Liushu... I... my sister... I lost my composure and shocked the envoy to death. I did this alone. Please also The general condemned me, don't blame the clansmen." Murong Ke said: "Communications between countries are all about courtesy. An envoy who doesn't know etiquette should have been killed a long time ago. What crime is there for the princess to solve this person for the king? Please sit down. The suburbs of Zhanglin were farewell back then. It has been eight years. This king still remembers that when the princess was less than ten years old, he hunted three wolves and one bear, and he was crowned bravely on the spot. The demeanor is still there, and this king is very comforted." Ah Qing kowtowed and thanked him, moved to the desk beside him, still did not dare to sit, just knelt down, and said: "Yes. It is a pity that we only know how to hunt and have fun, and now we are the people who have lost the country. The general commanded the army, and went south to fight with him. The feudal lords of the world are competing for deer, and they are very energetic, so naturally they are not the same." Murong Ke seemed very satisfied with her answer, and said with a chuckle: "Jinglu? This king is not as imposing and open-minded as Emperor Wu Wu of Wei. We are both old friends and former monarchs and ministers, so we don't have to go around the bush. The princess knows that the king ordered someone to summon you Why are the clansmen?" Ah Qing said: "Does the general want to recruit my people?" Murong Ke habitually clenched his fists, then loosened them, nodded and said: "That's right. Although your Zhao country has been destroyed, there are still many clansmen scattered all over the place, and there are many generals and troops who have not yet surrendered. The situation is dangerous at this moment. Ran Min I still want to cut grass and roots, and the state of Jin... probably won’t be able to accommodate you. Although my state of Yan is a Xianbei tribe, when Emperor Ming, the ancestor of your country, was in a state of brothers, my brother Wang (at that time King Yan Murong Jun has not yet proclaimed himself emperor) and he has long wanted to accept it. This king knows that the princess has put in all his efforts for the safety of your people, why don't you take this opportunity to lead the people and meet the king brother with me?" Ah Qing lowered his head and remained silent.Murong Ke knew that she was thinking nervously in her heart, so she didn't urge her, and said: "The princess can think about it slowly. This king is drafting a document, and I ask the king to retain the title of princess, so as to control the clansmen." Serving tea, I went to discuss with that courtier again. The tea was boiling hot, and the rising mist moistened Ah Qing's eyes.She closed her eyes and didn't think about anything for a while.Because—strangely enough—she had heard the wind. The wind on the prairie. Hunting, fresh... the wind of freedom. Her hands trembled.She knew what she was thinking, but she tried desperately to push the thought away.This thought might kill her, and kill all the people in the clan... Yes, Shi Fu was right, until now, there is only one way to go.There is no other way out, nothing... What if I don't surrender?The road back to the west is too long and far away. Not only are there thousands of mountains and rivers in the middle, there are also countless princes and princes staring at each other...Maybe...Maybe there is no way to go back... Omg...she cried out in her heart...why am I making this decision, why?why why! Suddenly I heard Murong Ke say: "Princess Qinghe." Ah Qing was startled suddenly and jumped up in panic, but Murong Ke said with a smile: "Don't panic. Be careful with the tea." Only then did she realize that she had been trembling nervously While doing so, she actually overturned all the tea on the table, and she didn't even know that the hot tea had wet the corners of her skirt. Ah Qing hurriedly said: "I...I'm being rude." Murong Ke took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "The princess is too modest. Has the princess already thought of the answer, can I tell the king now?" submission.Ah Qing thought. Surrender, I want to live. She turned to Murong Ke, bent down deeply, and said loudly: "Yes. I beg the general to allow my people to return to their homeland." The expression on Murong Ke's face did not change at all, but his hand holding the tea stopped.The person beside him got up abruptly, and said loudly: "Absurd! A subjugated person still wants to beg to get out of his body? I ask the general to kill this person immediately and destroy his entire family!" Ah Qing's eyes darkened, and his head hit the ground heavily.Murong Ke hadn't spoken yet, but someone outside the tent shouted: "Report! Dongping guard Sun Jing begs to see the general!" When Ah Qing heard the word "Sun Jing", it was as if a thunderbolt rang in his ears, and even the fear of exterminating the family just now disappeared, and he couldn't move his body for a moment.Murong Ke hesitated for a while, then said: "Let's pass it on." The tent door was opened, and as soon as someone came in, he prostrated himself on the ground and said loudly: "Little man Sun Jing, pay homage to Taiyuan Wang Qiantui, Qiantui Qiantui!" The voice was high-pitched and thin, extremely unpleasant.Murong Ke said with a smile: "General Sun is very polite, please speak ahead." Sun Jing didn't get up, but walked over on his knees all the way, and when he climbed up to Ah Qing, he stopped, kowtowed and said: "A defeated general, dare not insult the King of Taiyuan with his low status. The villain has been wronged by the King of Taiyuan, and I accept Dongping County as the king of Taiyuan. The land of Yan Kingdom is full of fear and fear, and I only pay homage to the 300,000 people in Dongping to thank the Holy Grace!" Murong Ke stood up, pacing with his hands behind his back, and said: "Brother Wang is very happy that you can take the overall situation into consideration and lead the subjects of Dongping to surrender to my country of Yan. There will be a decree in the next two days, and it should be sealed." You Marquis of Dongping, you can rest assured." Sun Jing kowtowed a few times, and said with tears in his voice: "The king of Taiyuan's grace, even if the villain dies ten thousand times, it is not enough to repay one or two! The loyalty of the villain to the country of Yan can be shown to the sun and the moon! Even with the power of mere ants, we must do it for Yan!" The whole country is devastated, thank you..." "I ask the general to go to guard." Suddenly someone shouted: "I have something important to report to the general!" Sun Jing turned his head and saw that the person talking beside him turned out to be a beautiful woman, wearing the clothes of a Jieren, and was startled.Murong Ke said: "What did you say?" Ah Qing sat up straight, stared into Murong Ke's eyes for the first time, and said: "I ask the general to screen out all the guards, I have important confidential matters related to the world that I need to explain to the general." Murong Ke said without hesitation: "Okay. You all step down." The courtier next to him said anxiously: "No! This man is very skillful and has a heart of disobedience. How can the prince trust him easily? Yes Tell me any secrets quickly, if you dare to tease the general, you will be cut into pieces." Ah Qing didn't answer, just stared straight at Murong Ke.Murong Ke looked at her for a moment, then turned around and said with a smile: "Bai Moyu, you have been with this king for many years, and you still don't know his temper? How about this, you stay with the four confidant guards, and the rest will retire. If there is any movement, 50,000 Jie people will be buried with him below, and this king will be content." It seemed that Bai Moyu really knew Murong Ke's temper, so he stopped hesitating and hurriedly called all the guards and servants to leave the tent.Four personal guards came forward and stood behind Murong Ke, holding the hilt of their swords, ready at any time. Sun Jing quickly kowtowed three times and crawled backwards.Ah Qing suddenly sternly said: "This person can't go down, it's him who matters!" Sun Jing was taken aback, and raised his head to look at Ah Qing suspiciously.Ah Qing turned to him, and said coldly: "You probably don't know who I am yet, do you?" Sun Jing quickly shook his head. Ah Qing said: "But you should know. I am the Princess Qinghe of Dazhao, that is, the one who made a big fuss in Guangshan Camp. When I, King Yan of Zhao Guo, died in the camp, I was by his side. You captured Liu at all costs." Princess Shu, I was the one who rescued him back then..." She spoke slowly and word for word, her voice so calm that she was surprised.Sun Jing's eyes were blurred, and gradually he could not hear anything in his ears, only the loud sound of "Bang! Bang! Bang!", which was the violent beating of the heart.Fear and desperation gripped it, so it beat, beat! Murong Ke frowned slightly, and Bai Mo Yulang said: "Princess Qinghe, quickly report the important confidential matter you want to say!" Ah Qing turned around and said: "Yes. Does the general know why this person forcibly imprisoned my Zhao Guoyan family? It was because..." "King of Taiyuan!" Sun Jing rushed forward with all his might, hissing wildly, but before he could say anything, there was a louder "slap" sound, and Ah Qing slapped her backhand, hitting him hard. Sun Jing jumped up, flew two or three feet away, and slammed into a pillar of the main tent.When he fell to the ground, his face was covered in blood, and he lay limply on the ground, without any strength to move.His teeth and blood were scattered all over the floor. Bai Moyu shouted: "Protect the lord!" The four guards drew out their knives at the same time, and were about to jump forward and kill Ah Qing.Ah Qing sat with her neck up, unmoved, seeing that the four knives were about to hit her, Murong Ke shouted suddenly: "Stop! Get back!" The four guards stopped immediately and listened to what they said.Bai Moyu hurriedly said: "You can stop, come and protect the prince!" The four guards rushed to Murong Ke and stood in a row.Murong Ke said viciously: "Go away! Is this king a person who is afraid of death!" Bai Moyu resisted and said: "I have the responsibility of protecting the prince, I dare not forget it for a moment!" He actually walked up to Murong Ke and stood up. Murong Ke was stunned for a moment, chuckled, shook his head and said: "A subjugated woman dares to beat up a person who is about to be ennobled in front of this king, but this king can't even deal with his own subjects, haha, haha! Bai Moyu, you What a kind!" Bai Moyu looked calm, and said: "The minister will naturally come to receive the death penalty later, but at this moment, he can't obey the prince. Princess Qinghe, you beat the important minister of your country without authorization, which is already a crime of extermination. If you have anything to say, don't hesitate to say it!" Ah Qing calmly said: "This person tortured King Yan cruelly until his death, there is only one reason - he wanted to force King Yan to tell the whereabouts of Chuan Guo Yuxi." This time, for the first time, Bai Moyu showed a frightened look on his face, and said in a trembling voice, "You...do you know what you are talking about?" Ah Qing said: "The Jade Seal of Chuanguo is the evidence of the founding of the country handed down by the first emperor, the general will not know it? My emperor Gaozu Ming got it from Liu Yao of the Han Dynasty. From then on, he proclaimed himself emperor, and the world was in harmony. When Ran Min rebelled, we King Yan of Zhao State hid it in Zhaowu Palace in Yecheng. Even Ran Min didn’t know this secret. As long as the generals conquer Yecheng and obtain the jade seal, the king of your country can ascend the throne as emperor and become the lord of the world. Is this secret considered true? The biggest secret in the world?" Murong Ke nodded solemnly. Ah Qing said: "It's good that the general understands. The reason I'm telling you this is because Sun Jing and his subordinate Fu Shen already knew about this secret, so they desperately wanted to capture Princess Liushu and kill them to silence them." .Now that the general knows, what should I do?" Murong Ke pondered for a while, and said, "Bai Moyu, where is Fu Shen now?" Bai Moyu said: "Yes... in... I ordered all those who came from Dongping to rest in the left camp." Hearing Ah Qing's words, he already deeply regretted that he stubbornly did not go out just now, and his voice trembled uncontrollably. Murong Ke acted as if nothing had happened, sat down and took a sip of tea, and said: "I heard that Fu Shen is also a first-class warrior... Immediately hit the warrior in front of my tent, break his limbs, and drag him to death. cut." Bai Moyu bowed and said: "Yes, yes! Please show me, my lord, Sun Jing... how to deal with it?" "Buried." Murong Ke said without raising his head: "Destroy the Nine Clans. All Guangshan camp soldiers will follow the same example." At this time, Bai Moyu couldn't fly out of the tent, forced himself to kowtow calmly, stood up and walked out slowly.When he got to the tent door, he was already sweating profusely. He didn't want to trip and almost fell, so he hurriedly lifted the curtain and went out.He seemed to hear Murong Ke still giggling in his ears, he put down the tent door, and before he had time to catch his breath, he ran to summon the wrestlers.
Murong Ke was indeed smiling.He laughed for a while, frowned, and said: "Princess Qinghe, you are the most brave and fearless person I have ever seen. I never thought that when the Zhao Kingdom fell, the kings and ministers surrendered and fled. The woman stepped forward to save the clansmen, it’s amazing, it’s amazing. If you tell this secret, isn’t it afraid that this king will not want you to get involved again and kill you too?” Ah Qing sighed: "The general is just joking. My country of Zhao has such an incomparable talent as Emperor Gaozu Ming, and the country was only 23 years old before it was destroyed, and my people were massacred like never before. They are almost extinct. Extreme prosperity and extreme decline, how can the general understand the taste of it. I hate that jade seal now, but the general will not believe it. Unfortunately, this is really my mood... I only want to leave these old and weak Women and children can return to their homeland in the west, don't stay in this chaotic Central Plains, they will really die..." At the end, I finally couldn't help crying, fell on the ground and said: "I beg the great general, Sheng Enhouze, please forgive me. My clansman. I, Shi Lan, would like to rest here forever with the secret of Chuan Guo Yuxi, even if I die!" silence.silence. Murong Ke remained silent. Ah Qing lay on the icy ground, all thoughts were lost, she only thought in her heart: "Forget it, Xiao Yu, I can't save the clansman, at least I avenged you, so I'm here to be your companion." Suddenly someone opened the tent door, came in and said: "General, the general heard that Princess Qinghe is coming, she is... so here it is." It was Murong Chui's voice. Murong Ke hummed, recovered from his contemplation, took a sip of tea, felt cold, pushed it aside, and said, "Oh, it's you. I'm thinking about how to kill her." Surprised, Murong Chui hurriedly knelt down on one knee, cupped his hands and said, "General, my country of Yan used to be a vassal state of Zhao. Now that Zhao Xin is dead, it may be ominous to kill those who surrendered." Murong Ke turned his head away: "There is a reason to kill her." Murong Chui protested: "No matter what the reason is, it is not appropriate to treat the subjugated subjects like this. In the past, the overlord of Western Chu was criticized by the world for killing 200,000 soldiers, and finally Wujiang committed suicide..." Murong Ke said displeased: "General Longwei, pay attention to your words. Shi Lan, you step back first, restrain your clansmen, and wait for your punishment." Ah Qing kowtowed his head twice, stood up, and walked out backwards with his head down.When Murong Chui saw her go out, he said urgently: "Second Brother, are you really going to kill her? Stop joking with me!" Murong Ke said angrily: "General Longwei, watch your words!"
Ah Qing walked out with a deep kick and a shallow kick, feeling empty in her heart, happy and sad at the same time, unable to tell what it was like.She walked down the hill slowly and walked into the crowd of Jie people.When the Jie people saw her coming, they immediately became agitated, flocked to her, knelt down and saluted.She just stared blankly and went her own way.The Jie people in front gave way, but more and more people followed behind.From time to time someone knelt down and said loudly: "The last general, Shi Cheng, sees the princess!" "At the end of the day, the captain of the Tunqi school, Wei Chengding, will see the princess!" "The villain's servant who writes before the imperial court pays homage to His Royal Highness the princess!" "The last general will assist Zuo Shitian to kowtow to His Royal Highness the princess!" "Little man..." Ah Qing’s ears are full of names, official titles, titles... There are civil servants and military generals; Crossed the basin and walked down the hillside.Her two school captains rushed forward, and Ah Qing got on the horse, staring blankly at the countless pairs of eagerly looking eyes behind her. her people. She suddenly shouted: "Get out of the way, I want to see the children!" Those civil servants and military officials were startled, and then retreated to the side one after another, so Ah Qing saw more innocent and eagerly looking eyes.These eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky, and when they blinked, tears filled her eyes. She thought: "Just let me die alone, how good? There are so many children, how good it is." Thinking of this, Ah Qing yanked the horsewhip, causing the horseman to stand up, hiss long, and go up the hillside.Countless people behind us wept bitterly, shouting: "Princess, come back! Come back!" Ah Qing turned a deaf ear and ran straight up the mountain. Suddenly, there was a dull horn sound, which was dull and unpleasant, echoing like a ghost crying over the basin.This sound has not stopped yet, and there is another rush of drums, "Boom, boom, boom," and the drums rest after three drums. All is at peace again. All the Jie people felt unspeakable fear in their hearts, and looked up at the mountains on both sides. At first, there was no special movement.Not long after, there was a faint sound of military revolution.The sound became louder and more blatant, and the soldiers on the mountains on both sides started to move! The cavalry rode their mounts and began to pull out one by one, trotted in front of the formation, stopped and turned around suddenly, and pulled back in another group, crossing and changing positions, so that the horses were all active.Under the command of the corps leader, the infantry also advanced several tens of feet forward one row after another. With a cloud flag in place, the soldiers in the first row leveled their spears and established a collision position.A group of slaves shuttled between the bow and crossbow teams, busy putting the brazier in the designated position, lighting the carbon fire, and preparing for the rocket... In the direction of the main camp, three dragon flags and one flame flag quickly climbed to the top of the pole. After a while, A dragon flag was lowered, and a black flag was raised... The flying tiger flag with a black background and white border was raised, the flying dragon flag with a red background and a gold border was raised, and the cloud beast flag with a blue background and a yellow border was raised... The spear was raised, the long-handled sword was raised, and the snake-shaped long sword was raised. The spear was raised, and so was the heavy nine-ringed saber... Countless blades shone brightly in the setting sun... Some took off their heavy helmets and let loose their pigtails; some took off their blood-stained armor to reveal their solid and rough chests; scars... The blood of these soldiers who were born and died to conquer and slaughter boiled up. Hearing three cannon shots from the direction of the main battalion, a group of people rushed out from the shaft gate.This group of people hadn't reached the front of the heavy cavalry line, one of them suddenly jumped out from the crowd, and the white horse that dismounted was like a dragon, and quickly ran to a protruding cliff on the mountainside, raising the spear in its hand high.The sun shines on the tip of the gun, shining brightly. The soldiers of Yan State recognized that it was their invincible General Long Wei and King Murong Chui of Wu, they didn't understand why he did this in the midst of a great battle, so they all stopped. Murong Chui waited for all the soldiers to calm down. Fang put down his spear, bent down, took off his heavy armor, and took off his eagle-feather helmet. He waved it vigorously in the air, and said loudly: "I, Murong Chui, am Tiger of Liaodong! Now I will compete with Princess Zhao Qinghe, life or death is up to me! If I win, the subjects of Zhao Kingdom will all belong to my country of Yan. If Princess Qinghe wins, I will leave on my own! I am a good man in Liaodong, not a coward who bullies women and children !" As soon as these words came out, tens of thousands of soldiers raised their arms and shouted: "Contest! Contest! Contest determines life and death!" The momentum was so loud that the mountains trembled.A soldier rushed to Ah Qing, untied his knife and bow, and put his hands up.Ah Qing only took the bow and arrow, and took an arrow. Bai Moyu who was beside Murong Ke changed his face when he heard the words, and hurriedly shouted: "Samurai in front of you, take Murong Chui down quickly, and treat him with..." Murong Ke said indifferently: "Wait a minute. Pass on my order, and the whole army will cheer for General Longwei." Bai Moyu said anxiously: "My lord, at this critical moment, don't be merciless! Chuanguo..." He swallowed back the last two words with all his might, glanced at the surrounding soldiers, rode his horse and rushed to Murong Ke's side, Lowering his voice, he said: "...It is about the luck of my country Yan, and the foundation of the future. We must not let any of these Jie people go away!" 慕容恪回头看他一眼,眼中有一丝得意,也有一点嘲弄。他用马鞭遥指山岗上那个举盔高呼的人,笑道:“千秋基业,需要的是勇气与仁义。将来关乎我大燕命运的,就是那里,你难道见不到么?” “王爷!” 慕容恪不再看他,一拉缰绳,喝道:“传令,若龙威将军胜,荡平此地,一个不留!若落败,军法处置!”传令官应了,正要离开,慕容恪道:“慢着,给我大声地传下去!”说着策马冲下山坡。 他的黑骑亲卫队旋风般掠下山岗时,一名传令兵手持令旗,纵马奔驰在山脊之上。落日的余辉从山那边照过来,映得那令旗似一团跳动的火焰。传令兵一面疾驰,一面不停地喊道:“传——大将军令,若龙威将军胜,荡平此地,一个不留……一个不留……若落败,军法处置……军法处置……传——大将军令……” 于是数万将士又一起高呼:“大将军千岁!大将军千岁!” 山脚下的羯人们听到了呼喊,一起站了起来。年轻的扶着年迈的,年迈的拖着年幼的,健全的撑起受伤的,伤残的靠着待毙的。所有的眼睛都注视着山岗上静默不语的阿清。所有的心都提了起来,所有的手臂都缠绕在一起。 所有的希望都压在那单薄的背上。 有许多人泪流满面,许多人痛苦绝望,许多人喃喃祈祷。但是更多的人则紧咬着牙,握紧手中的刀,预备着那最后的一刻。 “拼了!”父亲向儿子说,丈夫向妻子说,兄弟向姐妹说。更多的人孑然一身,就向身旁的人说。 慕容垂哈哈一笑,纵马下山,笔直地冲向羯人。羯人们迅速分开一条道,让这位曾经救过他们,又射杀了琉殊郡主,现在又在救他们的武士通过。他迅速奔上了山岗,来到了阿清身边。 燕国的士兵们开始大声呐喊助威,无数的铁蹄践踏着大地,无数刀与盾牌砰砰相击,马刺和兵戈相互碰撞……仿佛从山顶滚落的闷雷,肆无忌惮地落在山下羯人的头上。 人群先是恐怖,慌乱,不知所措,麻木而近于默然。过了一会儿,在慕容氏军队雷鸣般的呼喊之中,响起了一首羯人家乡的小曲。一开始只是一个人颤抖的哼哼声,慢慢地,有几个人跟着唱了起来。歌声凄凉婉转,这是当年象风一样飞驰在草原上的羯人们思念故土的歌。 接着是十几个,几十个,成百上千个……一个接一个地,歌声仿佛涟漪荡漾开去,不到一刻,所有的人都痴痴地唱起了这首儿时起就会唱的歌谣: “巍巍雪山兮,赫赫天穹;大风猎猎兮,归我故土;故土遥遥兮,神鹰守顾……” 虽然和山坡上那雷鸣般的欢呼声比起来,这声音实在太过微小,不过凛冽的风从北面刮过来,掠过各色狰狞的旗帜,掠过密密麻麻的枪林刀丛,掠过山坡下赤裸的大地,掠过虽然战栗着,却仍站得笔直的羯人们,将它带得很远很远。于是阿清听见了。 她在马上回过头,摘下头巾,一任长发在风中尽情翻飞,向北望去。远远的黛色的山脉顶上,望不到边的厚厚的云层向下压来。山阻隔了北归的路途,云也挡住了阿清的视线。不过她依旧露出一丝淡淡的微笑。 这个笑容象一朵渐次绽放的花,越来越美丽,直至明艳到不可逼视。 慕容垂的马儿低嘶一声,惊恐地向后退了两步。慕容垂拉着缰绳,双腿使劲夹稳坐骑,同时自己也暗地里捏紧了拳头。 这是身经百战的战士的本能,感觉到了匪夷所思的杀气…… 眼前的少女怡然北望,在身后广漠的天穹映衬下,单薄一如兰草,慕容垂背心却是一阵阵的寒凉。什么也阻止不了她了,那一刻他已经明白,这个少女注定要飞向远方。
“你射杀了小钰,是么?” "yes." “我该杀了你。” "certainly." “她……她有遗言么?” “没有。当时在下沿着驿道旁边的山脊驰骋,亲眼见伏莫隶术拼死杀到琉殊郡主前,将她高高举起。琉殊郡主身着红巾,仰天大声喊道:'你答应了我的!你答应我的!'于是在下勒马拉弓,只一箭,正中她的背心。琉殊郡主便垂下了头,在伏莫隶术怀里寂然而去。在下赶在孙镜的士兵拿下伏莫隶术前,也射杀了他。” “我……我……我不知道该感谢你还是……还是……” 阿清拼命捂住嘴,眼泪却决堤似地往下坠。她在风中静静地哭着,慕容垂也静静地在一旁等候。过了一会儿,阿清抹去眼泪,抬起头道:“好了。” “嗖”的一声,阿清说出手就出手,发箭的速度快得几乎看不清楚,而慕容垂的反应更是匪夷所思,一夹手竟将箭夺了下来,扯过马驮着的铁胎弓,拉得浑圆,又将这一箭射向阿清。阿清射箭的同时已策马奔出几丈远,头也不回地反手一把抓住箭,并不迟疑,仍是一箭向慕容垂射去。 山上山下几万人就眼睁睁地看着阿清与慕容垂两人沿着山腰飞驰,一人将箭射过去,另一人就夹手夺过,又一箭射回去。两人对射了半天,居然一直都是那一支箭。好几次,箭去的速度异常迅猛,眼见阿清要被射到,羯人们都是一阵惊呼,却见阿清在马上纵越,不知怎么又将箭抓到了手。也有几次慕容垂眼见躲避不及,燕国士兵心都提到嗓子眼,慕容垂竟用牙齿咬住箭,仍然神色自若,继续追杀阿清。 两人追着射着,冲入一队弓弩队中,如入无人之境。弓弩手眼看着马蹄在面前飞舞,“嗖”“嗖”的箭破空之声不绝于耳,无不惊慌失措,纷纷躲避,阵形顿时大乱。几名百户长一面拼命呼喊,节制部下,一面也惊异无比,想不通一支箭给这两人射得好似数十人一起射箭一般热闹。 两人冲出了弓弩阵,又杀入长枪阵中。士兵们大为慌乱,相互推攘,长枪有些立着,有些又横倒。这一下拼杀更加凶险,两人须一面留神引导坐骑跃过横着的长枪,一面射击。那些士兵要跑开,慕容垂大吼道:“谁阵前逃跑,一律斩首!”士兵们只得退回本阵,无不暗自叫苦连天。 两人拼杀到此刻,自己一点事没有,坐骑践踏之下,倒有十几人受伤,有好几人都是因长枪横着,马匹被迫跳起时踢伤的。士兵们为了保持距离让两人经过,拼命将长枪举得老高,两个人的箭就在一排排长枪林的缝隙间往来穿梭。 慕容垂眼见前面有一块突起的地方,当即策马踢翻两人,冲到那上面。阿清正在两排长枪之外飞驰而来,他深吸一口气,再一次纵马跃起,居高临下一箭射去。这一箭力道、时机拿捏的分毫不差,眼见阿清避无可避,就算能避开,也不能再拿到箭,慕容垂心中突然升起一丝悔意。 阿清猱身向下,恰到好处地避开这一箭。就在箭离她远去的一瞬,阿清脚尖一挑,踢在箭羽上,那箭顿时打着旋地向上飞去。左近的士兵们都抬头向上看,眼见那箭越飞越高,忽然风声大作,阿清一手持弓,在马背上奋力一蹬,纵身高高跃起。 在场数万人都看到了阿清,她微微张开双臂,象展开的双翼一般,远远看去,她优雅地、缓慢地上升着,仿佛就要凭空飞升而去—— 一把抓住了羽箭! 数万人同时“哦”了一声,有的惊讶,有的惋惜,更多的是莫名的兴奋、激动,知道今日这一战,自己终身都难以忘怀了。 阿清抓住了箭,没有丝毫犹豫,就在空中拉圆了弓。慕容垂见她身体舒展得极开,知道这一箭必将是她今日最尽全力的一箭。他暗含一口气,也将自己的功力提升到最高境界,准备迎击。 但奇怪的是,阿清一直保持着弯弓的姿势往下坠,却一直没有发射。慕容垂眼睁睁看着她下落、下落,终于落到了竖立的枪林之后…… “嘣!”弓弦声急响! 慕容垂一怔,箭已经发出,他竟没有看到任何动静。只听一阵急雨般的嗒嗒嗒嗒声,当慕容垂刚明白到那是箭高速地在枪杆之间反弹的声音,胸前一紧,箭从身旁一杆长枪上急速反弹出来,射中了自己。 慕容垂心中一凉,却见那箭从自己衣服上弹开,落下地去。他惊疑地抬起头,隔着数排士兵和长枪,阿清坐得笔直,一手握在胸前,慢慢展开,露出折断的箭头。 两边的人都骤然静了下来。没有人相信这个结局,甚至好多人根本没看清发生了什么。一时间,天地间这块小小的盆地里寂然无声,连山峦上的云都停止了脚步。 停了半晌,一名燕军突然越众而出,大声喊道:“羯人输了!杀死他们!杀死他们!杀死……” 那军士狂暴的吼叫突然一顿,张大了嘴,一只手高高举起,象要抓住什么似的。身边的人看得清楚,有一支羽箭从他后颈窝射入,穿透了脖子,巨大的力道还没有止息,将他整个人向上提了一段距离,才陡然消失。 那人从马上翻落,在地上滚出老远,等到终于停下时,脖子处的鲜血才喷射而出。 所有人的眼光都落在骑着马悠然步近的慕容垂身上。他手里握着他那无人可拉圆的铁胎弓,傲然地道:“谁再往前跨一步试试。”
公元三百五十一年的春末,第一个真正纵横中原,称霸天下的草原民族,在历经了他们历史上空前的繁盛和更加空前的屠戮之后,终于踏上了返乡西归之路。 没有人知道他们最后的归宿在哪里。 他们离去的身后,更多的民族在曾经是大汉天下的中原腹地展开了更残酷激烈的争斗。 三百五十二年,慕容恪于常山包围冉闵,将其活捉,后杀之。慕容评攻陷邺城。这一年,前燕慕容俊称帝。 三百七十年,前燕灭亡。 三百八十四年,慕容垂的后燕建立。 三百九十六年,慕容垂病死,后燕分崩离析……
