Huo Qubing said "ah": "The Shanyu of the Huns?" I nodded, and after Huo Qubing was silent for a moment, he burst out laughing, "Today is really fun, I actually defeated the Shanyu of the Xiongnu, but now I can only run away." While observing the surrounding terrain, I rode my horse and galloped: "Here are all grasslands that can be seen at a glance, and it is not easy to avoid. As long as we enter the Qilian Mountains, I will have a way to get rid of them. With the help of wolves, the grassland stretches for nearly a thousand miles." No one is more familiar with the Qilian Mountains than me."

Huo Qubing responded with a smile. The horse that Yizhi sent us was indeed a good one among ten thousand. After several hours of galloping, although he was already tired, he still tried his best to run at full speed.But the pursuers in the back have been getting closer to us because they have horses to replace them. If they don't release the arrows, we still have hope, but if they release the arrows... As I was thinking, Huo Qubing suddenly stretched out his hand to drag me onto his horse, and wanted me to sit in front of him and share a ride with him. Ji. I waved my hand to fend him off, and said angrily: "Two people and two horses run faster, or two people run faster on one horse? Who do you think I am? When you were still practicing archery in the shooting range, I was already in this area. I ran for my life on the ground. I don't need you to block my arrows with your back, I want us all to live."

Huo Qubing was stunned for a moment, then nodded sharply: "Okay! But you can't let them hurt you." Qilian Mountain was already in the distance, Huo Qubing and I got refreshed, and arrows flew behind us, but it was our horse. It seemed that Yi Zhixie didn't want to kill Huo Qubing as a last resort, but wanted to capture him alive. Huo Qubing rode the horse with one hand, and swung his whip to deflect feather arrows with the other. I also lightly danced the silk belt to deflect the horse's flying arrows.He smiled and said: "Yu'er, help me block the arrow." He picked up the bow hanging by the saddle, held three arrows in one hand, and shot them like shooting stars. The horses of the three people in the front hissed and collapsed. on the ground.

I waved the silk ribbon to roll away the flying arrows, and praised with a smile: "Good arrow technique, what's rare is that all the arrows hit the horse's forehead." Huo Qubing blinked triumphantly: "Thank you Madam for your compliment!" I snorted coldly, and suddenly retracted the silk belt, and he immediately frantically swung his whip and arrows. Seeing his embarrassment, I couldn't help smiling again on my stiff face. Before the smile fell, an arrow shot straight at my back. I bent down to avoid it, but unexpectedly, the arrow was more urgent than the other The arrows shot straight at my vitals, and I dare not be careless, the silk belt danced airtightly, and I tried my best to block the arrows.

Huo Qubing still just shot at the horse, he roared angrily: "You guys are going to shoot at me!" Seeing Mu Daduo pointing his bow straight to my throat, I couldn't believe it, and my gesture froze, an arrow passed through the gap in the silk belt, and flew to my chest, Huo Qubing didn't care to block the arrow for his horse, so he flicked his whip Open it for me, the horse has already been hit by an arrow, but fortunately the injury is not serious, but it stimulates the horse to go faster in a short time. "Yu'er!" he yelled angrily. I looked at him blankly, saw his expression, and immediately realized: "I'm sorry, there will be no more."

Mu Daduo still shot at him with arrows, and I blocked them all at once.Her face is calm and unwavering, and her arrows are precise. I am also calm and sober, and my movements are quick.It's just, just... I don't understand, where did the person who called my sister behind me go?Is there only betrayal on this grassland? Mu Daduo gave instructions to the people around him, who hesitated for a moment, but finally obeyed, and stopped shooting my horse, but started shooting me. Yi Zhixie's figure appeared in the crowd: "Duo'er, what are you doing?" Mu Daduo's hands trembled, he didn't dare to look back at Yi Zhixie, he just called out: "Shanyu, we captured Huo Qubing alive, it can deter the Han army and boost the morale of the Huns, but this woman is useless, it can disturb Huo Qubing's mind , increasing our chances of catching him alive."

Yi Zhixie didn't speak, Zhao Xin shouted: "Shanyu cherishes talents and wants to persuade Huo Qubing to surrender, but Huo Qubing's character will never submit to us. If Shanyu wants to capture Huo Qubing alive, the princess's words are very reasonable." Yi Zhi looked sideways at Huo Qubing, thought for a moment, and nodded in agreement. Huo Qubing saw my complexion changed, and asked anxiously, "What are they talking about?" I looked at Qilian Mountain, which was close in front of me, and forced a smile: "I'm going to take a gamble, if I guess right, we might get a chance."

Huo Qubing nodded his head: "But don't do stupid things, I won't accept it, you have to live together and die together." "Know!" I danced the silk belt with one hand, and slowly unbuttoned the veil with the other. My eyes were fixed on Mudado. Finally, Mudado's expression was no longer calm, and a look of panic flashed across his face. His gestures became faster and faster, and the arrows were like shooting stars. come as usual.Judging by her reaction, my guess should be very likely to be correct. The veil was loosened and fluttered in the wind. I smiled and looked at Yi Zhixie. His complexion suddenly changed, and he shouted: "Stop!" The bow and arrow stopped immediately, and a few arrows that were too late to stop also missed their aim and fell limply on the ground.

I smiled at Yizhi and made a grimace, stuck out my tongue, and secretly stabbed the horse's ass with an arrow.He was dazed and dazed.My horse has already galloped towards Qilian Mountain like flying, Huo Qubing is close by. Yi Zhi squinted at Mu Da Duo: "Duo'er, did you see it? Then... is that Yu Jin?" A team of hundreds of people chased after us, but no one shot an arrow. Mu Daduo shouted: "No... I don't know, but it shouldn't be. Shanyu, Yujin is dead. If it is Yujin, she won't It will." Yi Zhixie nodded blankly: "She should hate me, she wouldn't smile at me." Suddenly she yelled at me, "Yu Jin, is that you? Is it you?"

I giggled, turned my head and asked coquettishly, "What do you think?" Xin Zhao bowed obliquely to Yi Zhi immediately, and said respectfully, "I don't know who this girl is, but that doesn't matter. Shan Yu, what we want to catch is Huo Qubing." Yi Zhixie was startled in horror, her face straightened, and she regained clarity in an instant.I stared at Xin Zhao with resentment, if we really have something to do, we must have you buried with us. Yi Zhi glanced sideways at Qilian Mountain, with a chill in his eyes, and ordered: "Whoever kills Huo Qubing will be rewarded with ten thousand gold. Don't hurt that woman."

The hatred in Mudado's eyes burst out instantly, burning like a raging fire, which sent chills down my spine. "Qubing!" Huo Qubing and I had no time to talk on the line of life and death. We exchanged glances. Both of us turned over and stuck to the horse's belly. Arrows flew towards Huo Qubing densely like rain.I tried my best to block him with the silk belt, but in an instant, his horse was shot like a hedgehog, and it wailed and fell limp to the ground. The moment the horse fell to the ground, Huo Qubing grabbed my white silk and took advantage of my horsepower to charge forward again. As soon as he entered the valley, he immediately flew into the bushes, drew his bow and set up an arrow, and fired three more arrows in succession. The three horses rolled to the ground.At this time, the mountain was going up and the path was getting narrower. The horse that fell suddenly made the team chasing me confused. I hit the horse again to speed it up, but I jumped sideways and quickly hid in the forest.Seeing Yizhi tilting her bow and nodding her arrow, she turned her head to look at Huo Qubing in horror. In the dense shade of trees, Yizhi could not see Huo Qubing at all, but she locked onto Huo Qubing just based on the direction of Huo Qubing's feathered arrow. He shot three arrows in a row, each taking three vital points. Huo Qubing tried his best to dodge, but still got hit by one arrow. I bit my lip tightly, not daring to make a sound, I just quickly stepped forward and grabbed Huo Qubing's arm, he smiled and shook his head, signaling that he could go.I nodded and flew through the forest with the help of the silk belt, Huo Qubing followed closely behind me.While I was running, I whistled twice. When other wolves howled in the forest, I finally let go of my heart halfway. I turned around and looked at Huo Qubing carefully. His robe was already covered in a large patch of bright red blood. The howling of wolves in the forest was getting louder and louder, and the whole mountain was echoing with howls of wolves. Huo Qubing followed me and turned left and right. Pulling out the arrow, he said, "Wait a minute." As he spoke, he waded across the stream until he reached the other side, ran quickly for a while, covered his wound and carefully returned along the original path, and jumped into the stream: "Now you can draw the arrow. gone." I first tied his arm tightly with a silk cloth, gritted my teeth, and quickly pulled out the arrow.The blood splashed out, fell into the stream, and soon disappeared with the current.Huo Qubing talked and laughed as usual, and instructed me how to bandage the wound to stop the bleeding as much as possible without affecting the movement. I'm also a person who sees blood often, but seeing his blood flying down like this, I feel dizzy in my head and weak in my hands.I don't want him to comfort me in this situation, so I can only bandage his wound with a calm face and steady gestures without saying a word. In order to hide the scent of the two of us, we waded in the stream and went upstream. Because Yi Zhixie had a lot of strength and the wound was deep, after bandaging, although the bleeding slowed down, it still didn't stop. Although Huo Qubing looked calm, his face became paler and paler.I looked at the surrounding terrain: "It's getting dark, let's find a place to rest first!" He nodded. A black shadow suddenly appeared, I was so startled that I immediately blocked in front of Huo Qubing, and Huo Qubing also dodged to protect me, both of them were in the same mind, fearing that the other would be hurt. When I saw clearly that it was Brother Wolf, I let out a soft cry and jumped forward with joy. Brother Wolf led us another way, and when we came to a small waterfall, he turned his head and screamed softly, jumped into the waterfall and disappeared. I took Huo Qubing and jumped into the waterfall. I didn't expect that there would be a cave behind a curtain of water. Although the cave was very humid, it was indeed a good place to hide.It is hard for ordinary people to think that there is such a hidden hole behind the waterfall, and the water cuts off the smell, even if there are hunting dogs, they are not afraid. I picked a high place, let Huo Qubing sit down, looked at his arm carefully for a while, then turned around and wanted to leave: "There should be herbs to stop bleeding near here, I'll go find it." He immediately pulled me back: "I can still bear this injury. Yi Zhixie is determined to win me. Although there are wolves to scare and stop them for you, animals are no match for well-trained soldiers. We haven't given up yet. take them off..." I covered his mouth: "It's because we haven't got rid of them, so we have to stop your bleeding. If it continues like this, do you want me to run for your life behind your back? Don't generals care about priorities? Don’t you know?” He stared at me without saying a word, I smiled and said, “I’ll take Brother Wolf with me, it’ll be fine.” He handed me the bow and arrow: "Can you shoot?" I wanted to refuse, but in order to reassure him, I reached out and took it: "It will work." The breeze is bright and the moon is bright, the stream is gurgling, and the insects are singing.A beautiful and peaceful summer evening when nothing seems to be in danger. Brother Wolf walked swiftly among the rocks and vegetation, and I jumped up and down after him, picking edible fruits at random. In the end, Brother Wolf's eyesight was better than mine, and he was the first to discover the healing tree growing between the cliffs. Grass.In fact, I don't know what the name of this grass is, because the wolf will always find it to heal himself when he is injured, so I casually named it Healing Grass. While biting the fruit, I ran back in a hurry. Before I reached the waterfall, brother wolf gave a low cry and stood in front of me. Several big black dogs confronted brother wolf. Yi Zhixie and Mu Daduo walked out of the bushes one after the other.We stared at each other through Black Dog and Brother Wolf, my eyes purposely looking first behind and then around, as if to make sure how many of them there were, but really just to make sure they hadn't noticed the waterfall. Yi Zhi looked at me sideways and said nothing, Mu Da Duo asked, "Where's Huo Qubing?" I threw the finished fruit into the bushes: "In order to disturb your attention, we left separately" Mu Daduo looked at Yi Zhixie, Yi Zhi stared at my eyes sideways, Mu Daduo's face gradually paled, and Yi Zhixie's voice was soft, as if afraid that a loud voice would scare me away: "You are Yu Care?" After so many years, he seems to have changed little, he is still the most handsome man in the Huns, but I am no longer the girl who stares at him with all eyes.I was silent for a while, then shook my head: "I am not." Mu Daduo seemed to be relieved, Yizhi wanted to step forward, brother wolf neighed warningly, other wolves howled in the valley, and although the dogs were very scared, they barked tenaciously. Annoyed, I kicked Brother Wolf angrily, and also howled, and the howling of wolves in the valley quickly subsided again.Originally, through the sound of the waterfall, Huo Qubing might not have known what was going on outside, but Big Stupid Wolf, Huo Qubing must have heard you when you called out like that. Yi Zhixie walked towards me in small steps, and I was speaking to Huo Qubing, but she yelled at Yi Zhixie: "Don't come over, if you want to come over, I will immediately...immediately ..." I casually drew an arrow and pointed it at my heart: "Don't live anymore." Yi Zhi hurriedly stepped back a few steps, and said slightly joyfully, "You are Yu Jin." I glanced at Daduo and asked, "Yi Zhixie, is it important whether I am Yujin? I am Yujin, so what can you do?" He was a little dazed, and murmured: "You are still alive, you are really alive." He stared at me for a while, as if reconfirming that I was really alive: "But you don't hate me?" I laughed and said, "I've already said that I'm not Yujin. Yujin is dead. The me now has nothing to do with you. What you want to catch is Huo Qubing. If you are still the arrogant King Zuoguli, then Please don't embarrass me a woman, let me go!" Yi Zhixie spoke the Xiongnu dialect, but I kept answering him only in Chinese, so that Huo Qubing could understand that I was trying to escape, so don't act rashly. Yizhi tilted her head slightly, staring at the half crescent moon in the sky, Mu Daduo looked at him obsessively, her eyes were full of tears, but she bit her lip, trying not to let the tears fall. Yi Zhi's slanted robe sleeves fluttered gently in the breeze, and Xiao Suo fell all the way down.He smiled and said to the moon: "Yujin, I'd rather you beat and kill me as soon as you see me, rather you look at me full of hatred, at least it proves that I've always been in your heart, and you never forget me, but... ...But I never thought that you would look at me as if you were looking at a stranger." He looked down into my eyes: "No matter what the occasion is, whether it is the Shanyu, the king of the Hun Empire, or the future king and prince, when everyone else only pays attention to them, your eyes are only on me, full of tears. Admiration, full of trust, although you are young, but your eyes seem to understand everything, my sadness, my forbearance, my anxiety, all fall in your eyes, you will be happy for me, and you will also be happy for me I'm worried, is there nothing now?" I subconsciously touched my eyes and looked at Mu Daduo: "Maybe Yujin used to look at you like this, but now there is only one other person looking at you like that. The things in her eyes are different from Yujin back then , but she is also full of only one you." Yizhi looked sideways at Mu Dado, but Mu Dado couldn't hold back anymore, tears were streaming down her face, and she hurriedly wiped her tears with her head down.Yizhi was stunned for a moment, with complex expressions on her face, and took out a silk handkerchief and stuffed it into Mu Daduo's hand. Yi Zhi said suddenly, "Yu Jin, since you don't hate me anymore, come back with me." I smiled and said in the Hun dialect: "Unless I die, if you want to bring a corpse back, please do so!" Then I said in Chinese: "Yi Zhixie, my father is Han, and he wanted me to be a pure You should know that he has always wanted to take me back to the Han Dynasty, and I am living a good life in the Han Dynasty now, so don’t force me, if you really feel a little guilty.” Yi Zhi asked obliquely: "Did Huo Qubing leave you just like that? You... did you marry him? Forget it, it's not important, the Huns don't care about it." I was angry and said angrily: "He has abandoned me, he has been hit by your arrow, his movement is already inconvenient, he doesn't want to burden me, he lied to me that he couldn't walk, and asked me to find something for him to eat, But when I turned around, he was gone." Biting my lip, with tears in my eyes, I forced a smile on my face and said, "Don't let me find him, or I will stab him again." These words are half-truth and half-false, which seems to be in line with Huo Qubing and my temperament. Yi Zhixie obviously believed it. He was silent for a while, and walked towards me step by step, ignoring Brother Wolf's warning at all: "Yu Jin, follow me!" I'm going back." His eyes were unwavering, and I was in a state of confusion for a moment, so I raised an arrow at him hastily: "Don't come over, I will never go back with you." He smiled and shook his head, and asked softly: "Yujin, do you want to shoot me with the archery I taught you? Remember when you were young, you sat in front of my horse, and I held your hand and taught you archery ..." As he spoke, he walked towards me without slowing down, ignoring the arrows in my hand. A few dogs surrounded Brother Wolf. My hands were shaking, and I shouted in Hun language: "Stop, I won't I'll go back with you, I won't..." Hearing Brother Wolf's call, telling me that Huo Qubing was approaching us, I felt anxious, and before I could think clearly, the arrow flew out. I looked at the flying arrow in horror, Yizhi's squinting eyes were full of sadness and disbelief. Mu Da Duo flew forward, screamed softly, and fell softly on the ground, the feather arrow nailed her chest, and her chest was already red in an instant.My hands were shaking, and I knelt down on the ground limply. Yizhi was stunned for a moment, as if she really understood what happened, she took a few steps forward and hugged Mu Daduo. I moved to their side step by step: "I'm sorry, Mudado, I..." My voice trembled and I couldn't continue, how could we kill each other?Suddenly he stretched out his hand and hit Yi Zhixie hard. With his skill, he didn't avoid me, and let my fist and palm land on him: "It's all you, why do you always do such things? Always force him to We can't live well? Why can't we let my father go? Why can't we let me go? Now because of you, Mudado and my sister are against each other..." Yi Zhixie didn't listen to my words, she lowered her head just to check Mu Da Duo's wound. Mu Daduo took a few breaths, looked at me and said: "Sister, I'm sorry, I shouldn't hate you, it's none of your business, I even hired people from the Western Regions to go to Chang'an City..." I shook my head again and again: "It's not your fault, any mistakes are all Yi Zhixie's fault." Mu Daduo's teardrops were like disconnected pearls, falling one after another: "I don't blame him, it's me. He dotes on me only because my temperament is like yours, and he is full of guilt for you, but I am not reconciled. My fault……" Yi Zhixie gently covered Mu Daduo's mouth: "Stop talking, Yu Jin is right, I was wrong." After whistling a few times, he picked up Mu Daduo and left: "Duo'er, you You won't die, I will definitely let you live, didn't you always want to go to Suiye Lake with just the two of us? We will go immediately when you are well." When Yizhi turned sideways, she looked at me, as if she had a thousand words left unsaid.Mu Daduo held his arm and coughed: "Really...? My body is so cold, so cold... Shanyu, don't force my sister..." Yizhi lowered her head and looked at Mu Daduo: "Really, I'll take you to the doctor right away, you'll be fine..." He hugged Mudado and walked away, before hiding in the jungle, he looked back at me again, but only heard Mudado coughed suddenly, and the blood seemed to flow more, he didn't dare to hesitate anymore, quickened his pace, and in an instant, People have disappeared into the lush woods. Under the cold moon and bleak wind, I was the only one staring blankly at the place where they disappeared. Huo Qubing embraced me from behind: "As long as the treatment is timely, she will definitely survive. Although she bled a lot, the arrow didn't hit the vital point. Besides, you didn't have killing intent in your heart when you shot the arrow, and your gestures were unstable. She The arrow won't go too deep." bleed?I woke up immediately, looked around, hurriedly dragged him back to the cave, handed him the fruit in my arms, and then helped him apply the medicine. Huo Qubing said: "Tear off a piece of your clothes, tie a wolf to it, and let it run from the place you just stood. Yizhi is inclined to care about that woman's emotions, and ignores you for the time being. But he will definitely order people to turn back and chase you immediately. We simply stand still and hide here for another two or three days, and we will leave after they have searched all of this area." I was busy doing what he said. The healing grass lived up to expectations. Seeing that he was no longer bleeding, I felt a little relieved, and remembered what happened just now: "Is Mu Dadu really all right?" Huo Qubing hugged me with a smile: "Could it be that Shanyu of the mighty Xiongnu Empire can't save a woman? It's definitely fine. If you care about it, you will be confused. If you think about the situation just now, don't you think that woman's behavior is interesting? How could such a human being die so easily if he took advantage of the situation in just a short moment and used bitter tricks?" After being silent for a long while, I leaned into his arms: "I'm sorry, we should leave after paying homage to my father. I shouldn't have caused so much trouble by getting playful on a whim." Huo Qubing caressed my cheek, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm the one to play. Madam wanted to play, but I didn't protect the car, and instead frightened Madam. When I drive the Huns out of Monan and turn Monan into big men In this world, no matter how you like to play in the future, no one will disturb you." I grabbed his hand violently and bit down hard. He bared his teeth and cried out in pain. I resentfully said: "You are not allowed to call me madam again." He thought for a while and said, "Then call me a lady?" Unbroken, tears flowed down. He didn't say a word, just smoothed my hair gently. I murmured: "Qubing, you should know who Yu Dan is, right? My father is his husband. I am not my father's biological daughter. I was picked up by him from the wolves. I was not happy at that time." ...the first time I met Yi Zhixie, he..." When I told my past for the first time, when I was happy, I would still smile silly, and when I was sad, the tears would not stop flowing. Ever since I first heard the news of my father's death, I cried a lot, but I haven't shed tears for the past.I am always afraid that I am not strong enough, afraid that when the tears fall, all the courage I have finally gathered will disappear, and I will pretend that I am not sad anymore.Today, I am no longer afraid, laughing and crying without scruple, just because I know that with him, all the pain is in the past, no matter what happens, he will be by my side. Amid Xu Xu's narration, she didn't know exactly when she fell asleep.
