Chapter 17 Chapter Seventeen

Yushu, who came back from collecting medicine, heard the conversation between the two about herself outside the cave. She had different emotions for the two of them. She admired General Meng for his uprightness, but she could never forget Xiao Chuan. He, this man occupies almost all the space in her heart, and sometimes she fantasizes about what kind of life it would be if she wandered the world with Xiao Chuan! Just when Yu Shu was in a daze, Meng Tian's voice suddenly came from inside the cave: "Whether the princess is going or staying, we will have a duel here, and the winner will take the princess away!"

"It's a deal!" The person who said this was Xiao Chuan. Hearing this, Yu Shu couldn't help but said angrily: "Why should you decide whether I will stay or not? Am I a slave of your trade, a bargaining chip for gambling?" Yu Shu stretched out his hand to push them away. On the ground, Yushu was angry and funny, "You guys still want to fight! If I knew this, why should I work so hard to gather herbs, let you die sooner!" In a fit of anger, Yushu threw the medicine bag on the ground, went to the campfire and cried. Seeing Yushu crying, the two big men were ashamed, Xiao Chuan said: "Yushu, you are right, whether to go or stay depends on your decision, I respect your choice."

"The last general was confused for a while and offended the princess. I hope the princess will forgive me. This matter concerns the relationship between Daqin and Tu'an. Please think twice!" Meng Tian said. "You bastard, why are you putting pressure on Yu Shu!" Xiao Chuan immediately said to Yu Shu when he heard that Meng Tian's words had a sense of persecution, "Yu Shu think about yourself, think about what you said to me!" Yushu didn't speak, she watched the burning bonfire silently, the flickering bonfire reflected Yushu's beautiful face, tears were shining in her eyes, she closed her eyes, thinking for a long time.

All night, the three of them did not speak.The next day, when the morning light shone into the cave, Yu Shu put on her gown silently. She walked up to Xiao Chuan and Meng Tian and said, "I have already decided, I will go to Xianyang." Although Xiao Chuan had already made preparations in his heart, when he actually heard Yu Shu's words, his heart still hurt. He anxiously said to Yu Shu: "Yu Shu, you have to think carefully, don't make a hasty decision!" Yushu looked at Xiao Chuan with full eyes and said, "I can't forget my responsibility because of my desire. On the top of Tu'an mountain, you gave up the chance to escape alone for the lives of dozens of people. Now, my There are hundreds of thousands of people behind me, if you were me, how would you choose?"

Xiao Chuan looked at Yu Shu blankly, he didn't know what to say, his heart seemed to be torn apart, how much he wanted to hug Yu Shu at this moment, take her away, and stay away from this catastrophe. Yu Shu had already shed tears: "You said that you would respect my decision, please don't persuade me any more, and don't shake my resolution after suffering." Ogawa was speechless for a long time. Yu Shu took a deep breath: "I have one more request, on the way to Xianyang, please accompany me on the way, and give me all the joy you can give me." Xiao Chuan said bitterly: "I will never - never let you down."

Yu Shu turned her head and looked away, two lines of tears slowly flowed from her eyes, she nodded silently.Tears slid down her face and fell on the stones of the cave bit by bit, breaking her body to pieces. Mengtian and Xiaochuan guarded Yushu and set off. Along the way, the field survival skills acquired by Xiaochuan for many years in the field brought them a lot of convenience. What kind of food can be eaten, what kind of water can be drunk, and how to check the weather have long been difficult for Xiaochuan. Overripe in the chest. Meng Tian was very pleasantly surprised. He felt more and more that his "brother" was a rare military talent, and he tried his best to persuade Xiao Chuan to join the Meng family army.However, Ogawa is kind by nature and hates war and killing the most, so he resolutely refused.Although Meng Tian was somewhat disappointed, he did not give up.

The long journey back made the distance between the three of them getting closer and closer.They take care of each other, cross mountains and mountains together, hunt together, and share food together.Xiao Chuan keeps secretly recording the happy time with his mobile phone. When the two of them fall asleep, he often secretly looks at the happy time recorded during the day, often with tears in his eyes. On this day, the three of them finally came to the Great Wall.Meng Tian looked at the Great Wall that he supervised to build, and immediately became energetic. He said to Yu Shu: "Princess, please look, this is the Great Wall, and this is the great river and mountain of Daqin."

It was the first time Yu Shu saw such a magnificent building, and his excitement was indescribable. "I've heard about its majesty, but it's even bigger than I thought! Standing on it makes me want to fly... I really want to dance!" Xiao Chuan said: "If you want to dance, just dance, I will accompany you!" Xiao Chuan picked up two branches, snatched Meng Tian's helmet, and beat drums on it. Yu Shu danced unrestrainedly to the sound of the drums. Her white arms shone charmingly in the sun, and her sweet smile Beauty is beyond measure.Both Meng Tian and Xiao Chuan were obsessed with watching, Meng Tian's eyes seemed to melt, his eyes were a little moist, he knew that he had unknowingly moved his true feelings towards Yu Shu, but the way of loyalty rooted in his heart It made him feel guilty again.

Yushu danced and twirled, letting her sleeves dance lightly, letting her troubles go away with the wind... Beautiful flowers can't last long, and happy days are always short and short. Finally, Xianyang City is in sight. The three of them stopped at the same time, and decided to stay for the last night before entering Xianyang City tomorrow. It was night, Xiao Chuan and Yu Shu sat side by side by the campfire, neither of them spoke.Xiao Chuan suddenly reached out and grabbed Yu Shu's hand, Yu Shu trembled, the two stared at each other, Xiao Chuan said affectionately: "We can't leave together, don't care about the right and wrong?"

"Please don't ask me this question again. Every time you ask me, I will be shaken a little, and the pain in my heart will be doubled." "I won't leave you. No matter where you go, I will be by your side. Do you know, Yushu, I love you. It's the first time I've grown up and loved someone so much!" "You still don't understand? I can only leave you, please leave me too! After tonight, when I see you again, my pain will increase! How happy I was, how struggling I am now, and how much I will struggle in the future. How painful it would be—it was you who brought me all this, and it was all because a man named Yi Xiaochuan appeared in front of me!" Yushu began to cry as he spoke.

Xiao Chuan gently wiped the tears from Yu Shu's face with his hands, and Yu Shu slowly leaned on Xiao Chuan's shoulder. In the distance, Meng Tian looked at the two silently, Wei An's body trembled unexpectedly... Finally, Yushu and Xiaochuan saw Xianyang Palace for the first time, but what this magnificent palace brought them was not shock and surprise, but regret and sorrow. Meng Tian and Xiao Chuan accompanied Yu Shu to the gate of Xianyang Palace, the guards stepped forward to stop Xiao Chuan, Meng Tian nodded to Xiao Chuan, took a deep breath, suppressed the feelings in his heart, and accompanied Yu Shu into the palace gate. Xiao Chuan could only stay, looking at Yu Shu who was drifting away from the gap between the guards and the gate, feeling as if a knife was piercing his heart.At this moment, he really wanted to let go of his dignity as a man and cry bitterly. At this moment, Yu Shu turned his head and looked at him quietly, his eyes met. For a short moment, there was an endless parting intention. I can't meet again... On the main hall, hundreds of officials stand sideways, and the Qin Emperor, who is over forty years old but still ambitious and energetic, sits on the throne, which makes people feel awe at a glance. Meng Tian accompanied Yu Shu who was wearing a formal dress into the main hall, and after the ceremony, Meng Tian reported what happened on the way. After Qin Huang comforted him a few words, he began to look at Yu Shu. With a smile: "Princess flattened, raised her head, let me have a glimpse of her beauty." Yu Shu slowly raised his head, Qin Huang saw that Long Yan was delighted, he was really shocked by Yu Shu's astonishing beauty, he only felt that the woman in front of him was as clean as Tianshan snow lotus, and she looked extraordinary and refined.The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty also secretly praised Yushu's beauty. Qin Huang said: "The princess is like a beautiful jade that is extraordinary and refined - I will call you a jade beauty." Meng Tian saw that Yu Shu was appreciated by Emperor Qin when he first met, and he was relieved a lot, but at the same time, he also felt an indescribable bitterness in his heart. Prime Minister Li Si looked at Yu Shu for a long time but frowned, and went out to play and said: "Your Highness, everyone knows that Tu'an is a small country far away from the Central Plains, and cannot be educated by the rituals and music of the Central Plains. Ask for some village songs and wild dances, so as to compare whether Daqin's rituals and music are better, or Tu'an Xiaobang's is better!" Qin Huang heard that Li Si's words meant to ridicule Yu Shu, and he was quite defensive, saying: "Yu Mei is exhausted from the journey, and she was frightened again, let her rest and rest." Yu Shu was originally a smart person, so she couldn't understand the sarcasm in what Li Si said just now.It's fine to bully her, but it's absolutely impossible to bully Tu'an!She bowed to Emperor Qin Yingying, and said with a smile: "What your lord said just now is not unreasonable. Tu'an is indeed a remote and small country. I am also a talented and stupid person in Tu'an. I just know a little about the culture of the Central Plains. If Your Majesty If you don't dislike it with all the adults, Yushu will make a fool of himself!" Qin Huang's interest increased greatly, and he smiled happily: "Okay, then there will be a beauty!" According to Yushu's instructions, the four maids stretched out a piece of white cloth, and the music played, and Yushu danced along with the music. At the climax of the dance, she dipped her sleeves and shoes in ink and splashed ink on the white cloth while dancing. When painting, it can be said that people are swimming in the painting.Yushu's dancing posture is already outstanding, coupled with the unique skills of dancing and painting here, people can appreciate the beauty of the combination of people and paintings at the same time. All the ministers in the hall applauded and applauded, even Li Si couldn't help admiring, Qin Huang couldn't help nodding his head and laughing. After a dance, the Yushu Pavilion stood, and the four maids held up the white cloth, and a freehand painting of the Great Wall suddenly appeared on it.All the courtiers were amazed that the Great Wall in this painting was majestic and strange, like a giant dragon lying on the land of China. Qin Huang was stunned. Such a beautiful woman is really rare in the world. He couldn't help admiring: "Beauties are really three things: peerless beauty, peerless dancing posture, and peerless painting." Seeing the emperor's return, Li Si took the lead in congratulating and said: "Today, the ministers have opened their eyes. Your Majesty's acquisition of the jade beauty is really like a treasure. Congratulations!" I have won my heart so much, I specially named her Concubine Li!" "Your Majesty, congratulations to Concubine Li!" The voices of congratulations from all the ministers came. Yu Shu forced a smile on her face, bowed down to Xie En, and when she bowed her head, she said softly: "Xiao Chuan, farewell..." It is widely rumored in Xianyang City that the concubine Yushu from Tu'an has a beautiful appearance.Although Xiao Chuan knew that there was nothing he could do, he still couldn't bear the fact that his sweetheart had become Emperor Qin's concubine, and spent all day drinking to soothe his sorrows, looking like a drunkard. When he was drunk, Xiao Chuan often talked nonsense with drinkers: "Let me tell you, our bars there don't sell your kind of jar wine at all, and cocktails are popular! Cocktails, you know?" The drinkers saw that Xiao Chuan spoke strangely, and they all started joking and laughing, and those with good intentions took the opportunity to add fuel to the flames: "Cocktails, that's a bar made with chicken PP!" "That's not all bad taste!" Everyone roared with laughter, but Xiao Chuan interjected, "It's...it's possible, everyone is a little bored after drinking." Everyone was chatting and laughing when suddenly an iron sword was thrown on the table, and the laughter of the crowd stopped abruptly. They looked up and saw Meng Tian, ​​who had a strong figure and an angry face, walked in. How could everyone dare to wait any longer? coax away.Xiao Chuan glanced at Meng Tian, ​​and said dissatisfied: "Why did you drive away my audience, then who should I tell?" Meng Tian sighed and said: "You get drunk here every day, if someone knows your identity, wouldn't it be embarrassing for our Meng family!" "I've never been from your Meng family. I don't climb high branches of your family. If I want to lose it, I will lose my Face!" Meng Tian couldn't stand it anymore, grabbed Xiao Chuan's clothes, wanted to pull him away, and said angrily: "It's nonsense, if you say it's not right? Go home with me quickly, don't wander outside, look at what you are doing now What does it look like!" Xiao Chuan flung his arm away and said, "Can you control what I look like? You can send Yushu to the palace with your own hands, why can't I get drunk in this wine? Which one is more excessive? Tell me! Don't Say I am not your brother, even if I am your brother, I will never recognize you as a brother again!" Meng Tian wanted to say something else, but when Xiao Chuan mentioned Yu Shu, he felt conflicted in his heart, alas, why didn't he want to get drunk like Xiao Chuan, but as a general of a country, how could he indulge What about yourself?He was only fifty steps laughing at a hundred steps, Meng Tian turned and left the wine helplessly. Not long after Meng Tian left, there was another commotion at the entrance of the hotel. A thin and thin slave was kicked to the ground. While beating him with a whip, his master scolded: "I let you eat, let you eat!" !" The slave was covered in blood and kept whining.Xiao Chuan didn't want to be nosy at first, but he couldn't sleep because of the noise, and he couldn't stand it any longer. With the help of alcohol, he rushed out the door and grabbed the tip of the whip, pulling it out. The master of the slave was staggered, and after standing still, Xiao Chuan suddenly took out a bag of money and put it in front of him just as he was about to yell. Xiao Chuan said: "I bought him, you can go." When the man saw the money in Xiao Chuan's hand, it would be enough to buy three slaves, he immediately laughed and snatched the money from Xiao Chuan, fearing that Xiao Chuan would repent, and ran away.Xiao Chuan didn't care, and said to the thin slave: "You are free, let's go!" After finishing speaking, Xiao Chuan turned around and sat back at the table to drink wine. He picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp. As soon as he put down the bowl, he held the wine jar with both hands and filled it up for him. Xiao Chuan looked up and saw that it was the slave.Xiao Chuan saw that although the slave in front of him was skinny, his eyes were shrewd with shrewdness, so he asked, "What's your name?" "The little one is called Three Treasures," said the slave. "Three treasures? Ginseng, mink fur, Ula grass? Hehe, interesting... Oh, why don't you go, you are a free man!" "Master bought a small one, and the small one is your slave!" "I don't want slaves, I firmly oppose slavery, you go!" "But... the little one doesn't know where to go, so I beg the master to take me in." Xiao Chuan saw that this person was attached to him, so he simply didn’t say any more. In a long life, having an entourage to accompany him can relieve the boredom. Xiao Chuan told Three Treasures: “If you get it, you can be my assistant. My number one The first principle is, don't call me master! My name is Yi Xiaochuan. Do you understand? "Master! . . . No, master! . . . Oh no, sir!" Xiao Chuan also smiled: "Go get me a pot of good wine!" Xiaochuan threw a bunch of money to Sanbao, and Sanbao took the money and went away.This Three Treasures is a loyal person, and he is also a bit smart, but he has a little problem, often petty theft, and he was starved since he was a child, and he couldn't walk when he was hungry, so he was beaten by the evil old master.When he walked past the counter, he suddenly smelled a strange aroma of wine. After searching for it, he found that the aroma came from the wine gourd of a drunk man with disheveled hair in the corner. He wanted to take this wine to the owner. , the master must be happy. After making sure that the drunk was asleep after several tests, Sanbao slowly pulled out the wine gourd. Holding the gourd, Sanbao was secretly delighted, and was walking back on tiptoe, when suddenly someone pushed him down from behind. He looked back, It was the drunk man who was pressing him down.Poor Sambo is too thin, his bones hit hard against the floor tiles, he was crushed so loudly that he couldn't get out no matter how hard he struggled. Xiao Chuan was annoyed by the noise again. When he came over to see, San Bao was being bullied again. He grabbed the drunk man angrily. He was about to reason, but suddenly he became happy because he saw the drunk man's face...
