Chapter 17 Chapter Sixteen
The deserted city is still a desolate land.
Zhao Quan and Li Zixin did not break their promise. When Xiangsi went to borrow cattle, they rushed back to their original residence and brought five hundred and thirty-seven people.This is almost the population of a medium-sized village, forming a mighty team, bringing their belongings, supporting the old and the young, and came to the deserted city together.They brought all kinds of agricultural implements, spinning wheels, and utensils, which caused all the people in the deserted city to come and look at them, touch this, look at that, and be amazed.
Although Zhao Quan and Li Zixin have lived in Mongolia for many years, they still retain the habit of farming and studying.Once they settled down, each of them taught the people in the deserted city how to use various tools to prepare for reclamation and farming.
After Xiangsi led three thousand cows to the deserted city, she was warmly welcomed by the people of the deserted city.They threw themselves in front of Acacia excitedly, singing her praises endlessly.As long as she is there, there will be rice and cattle in the deserted city.Everything they want and need will be there.
She, their lotus goddess, will surely lead the barren city to prosperity and freedom.
No one noticed the faint sorrow in Xiangsi's brow.
In the sea of flowers, the blue figure that was gradually receding became a ray of bitterness in her heart.
That was the reunion she was looking forward to, but the moment they met, it shattered into an eternal farewell.
He gently pushed her away, the moment she choked up.
Why is she choking up?Why can't you tell the reason?
The pale god flashed in her mind, his jade-like eyes seemed to contain deep sorrow, always looking forward to the unknown.Kneeling in front of him, she felt his hands protecting her, and outside the light sleeves were waving weapons and dripping blood.
She knelt in the barracks where the war drums were resounding, looking at him, she was covered in blood, and gently dragged the bloody eagle feather.
She knelt in the gloomy underground palace, looked at him, dressed in a godly costume, and gently stroked her long hair.
She knelt in front of the altar where the jade steps hung down, looked at him, and pierced her chest with Brahma's trance-like compassion.
Acacia's heart couldn't help a burst of colic.She owed him too much, too much.Everything that happened on this grassland made him tortured.And all of this is rooted in her.
Now, he is still suffering, but she is powerless, even unable to ask the invincible Zhuo Wangsun to save him.
Why couldn't she say the request?
Although the catastrophe was terrible, she believed that Zhuo Wangsun would definitely win, and if Zhuo Wangsun made a move, he would definitely be able to rescue him.
Why couldn't she say the request?
Why?Why choked up at that moment?
Could it be...
She shook her head vigorously, refusing to think about it.She is the Lord of the First Quarter Moon, and she belongs to Huayin Pavilion for the rest of her life, and also belongs to him. That aqua-red shirt must not be stained with other colors.
That gaze on the Yanyu River, her life is doomed.That cyan figure is her lifelong belonging.
But why, the long-awaited reunion turned into parting?Why is she standing in the sky full of flying flowers, just watching the blue figure leave like this?
Just stay like this, staying in the boundless loneliness.That hazy sea of flowers is an ocean that he and she can no longer cross.
When he left her, he ignored the flowers blooming and withering.
Xiangsi sighed in disappointment, not knowing whether her choice was correct.
Should I stay?
She is used to staying by his side, looking up at his majesty and enjoying the protection he gives, but if she does so, this deserted city will be turned into ashes, and the white clothes that are as clear as the moon will also fall into eternal calamity.
He walked into the world of mortals for her, his white clothes were all dyed, and he did not hesitate to suffer the five declines of heaven and man, how could she leave him?
But what could she do?There is no martial arts, few plans and few plans, not good at all kinds of crafts, and can't distinguish the five grains.Months of struggle had almost exhausted her physically and mentally, and now, parting from him made her even more disturbed, and she felt that she could no longer make any effort for the deserted city.
Isn't it good to leave here?
Do you want to leave?
After chasing up to that cyan figure, she will never be harmed again.Maybe, she can confess all this to him and beg him to rescue Yang Yizhi.
He will, aren't they friends?
After all, nothing happened, he would forgive her and Yang Yizhi, wouldn't he?
So, what is she afraid of, what is hesitating about?
"All your doubts, I will destroy them for you." Thinking of the fleeting coldness in his eyes, Acacia's heart couldn't help but a sharp pain, and she lowered her head deeply.
A childish voice rang in my ear: "Sister, what are you thinking?"
Xiangsi raised her head suddenly, and Gerile smiled sweetly at her.
Gerile is the name of the girl who rode a donkey into the deserted city with her.She has settled down in the city, and she likes to stay by Xiangsi's side very much.Xiangsi didn't take her with her when she went to borrow rice, and made her cry for a while.
She blinked her big eyes and looked at Acacia.
Xiangsi hurriedly stood up, said with a smile, "No, I didn't think about anything. I'm just tired and want to rest for a while."
A trace of worry flashed across Gerile's innocent face: "Is my sister leaving us?"
Xiangsi was taken aback, and hurriedly defended: "Why? I won't leave you, no!"
Gerile heaved a sigh of relief, threw himself into Xiangsi's arms, and said, "If my sister leaves us, what should we do?"
Xiangsi gently stroked her hair, and the confusion in her heart slowly dissipated before the girl's attachment.
She remembered the oath she made in front of Daqing Mountain, and said softly: "I will not leave you, I promised to work with you to build this city into a rich and free city."
She closed her eyes gently, a tear flowed down, but immediately wiped it away quietly.
Yes, she can't leave. If she leaves, these common people who rose up and fought bloody battles for her will all become sacrifices.
She is the lotus goddess of the deserted city, and their only hope and belief.So she can't leave, she can only guard.
No matter how weak her shoulders are.
Zhao Quan and Li Zixin came over in a hurry, and when they saw Xiangsi, they clasped their fists and saluted, saying:
"It's really hard for the princess. With these three thousand cows, we will definitely win this bet!"
Lovesickness returned the gift, and sat down with the two.Gerile ran away sensible.
Zhao Quandao: "Right now, there are two important things that need to be known to the princess. Since we are short on time, we can start at the same time. One is to open up wasteland and farm, and the other is to go to Yuezhi Beach in the north to tame and catch wild horses. Our parents are in animal husbandry, So I went to catch horses, Brother Li was good at agriculture, so I went to reclaim wasteland. Hunting horses in the grassland is a lot of fun, the princess might as well come with our family to have a look and relax."
Lovesickness murmurs, and the matter of reclaiming wasteland and farming is really out of my hands.Then he smiled and said, "That's fine, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you, and I'll make a mistake instead."
Gerile rushed in: "Sister, I'm going too! I'm going too."
When she interrupted, Xiangsan's mood improved slightly, and she said with a smile: "You little naughty is indispensable everywhere."
So Zhao Quan gathered his men and horses, took his equipment, and led a group of people to the north.Except for Xiangsi and Gerile, the team is full of good players who have followed Zhao Quan for many years, all of them have good kung fu, and they are all seasoned hunters.Without Zhao Quan's instructions, they brought the things they needed, prepared dry food, clean water, hunting gear and other things for more than ten days, and carried them on horses.They asked Xiangsi and Gerile to sit on the horses, strode forward, and drove the horses forward.
Xiangsi feels a little bit sorry, but there are not so many horses in the deserted city.If you come down and walk, you may slow down the speed of the team.What's more, Zhao Quan would definitely refuse, so he had no choice but to ride on horseback.
The grassland is the most beautiful in May, the thick grass stretches to the end of the sky like a gorgeously woven woolen carpet.The horseshoes knocked on the grass, making a soft sound, like walking on soft strings.The weather is extremely clear and the wind is blowing from a distance, with a slight smell of green grass, which is refreshing.Colorful small flowers bloom in clusters on the grassland. When the wind blows through them, they undulate continuously, like a girl with soft waist and limbs, dancing on the brocade tent.The idyll came from afar, faintly matching the dancing posture, as if walking like this for a lifetime would never get tired.
The weather in the grassland was extremely clear, and the falcons were circling in the extremely high and far sky, making a long chirp from time to time.Zhao Quan was afraid that Acacia and Gerile would get bored, so he told some interesting stories about hunting along the way.He has lived in Mongolia for many years, and he is good at animal husbandry, hunting, catching and killing, and Geril is very interested in what he said.
After walking for more than five days, everyone felt that the humidity in the air was getting heavier.Turning around a small hillside, a lake appeared in front of my eyes.
It was a small lake, crescent-shaped, gently bending over the grassland.The long grass is long, like the blue sky, enveloping it in its arms.A not-so-big river pours water into the lake. Both the lake and the river are extremely quiet, like two young girls whispering to each other.
The place where the crescent moon bends is the most lush part of aquatic plants.A large group of wild horses are roaming freely inside.They ate the lush tender grass, ran to the lake to drink a few sips of water from time to time, and then snorted happily.They are all maroon, without a single hair, just like big red flowers blooming on the grassland.In groups of three or four, they live carefreely in this paradise, just like white clouds in the sky.
A trace of pity rose in Xiangsi's heart, was it right to catch them, bring them back to the deserted city, and leave their habitat forever?Will she be too selfish?
But the deserted city needs them.
Acacia shook her head lightly, driving away her troubled thoughts.
Zhao Quan said quietly: "These wild horses are extremely alert and good at running, even stronger than the best war horses. We must not disturb them."
He led the horse team back and they camped at the foot of the hillside. Zhao Quan distributed food and water to everyone. Everyone sat on the ground, eating and drinking in silence.
Gerile whispered: "Uncle Zhao, if you catch these horses, give me one."
Zhao Quan smiled and said, "Naturally."
They have been waiting for the sun to set, and the red glow in the sky dyes the grassland with a layer of tassels, and then slowly fades away, leaving only a piece of green floating in the air. Finally, everything returns to silence and the dark night comes.
A round of ice moon appeared from the eastern sky, illuminating the earth brightly.
The grassland under the moonlight is so sacred and empty. When the wind passes by, the green grass makes a dreamy sound, and the stars in the sky blink slightly, as if they are whispering to the gods in the sky.
Zhao Quan asked Xiangsi and Gerile to stand on the hillside and watch. He and the others unloaded the equipment from the horse.The most important thing is an extremely long and thick rope. Zhao Quan wrapped the horse's feet with felt cloth, and put a chew on the horse's mouth to prevent the horse from barking and kicking and disturbing the wild horses.He drove the horse, dragged the rope, and walked down the hillside.The rope was dragged by the horse, from one tip of Yuezhi Tan Crescent Moon to the other tip.
Those wild horses can't imagine that someone is counting them.As usual, after they had eaten and drank enough, they stood in the crescent of Yuezhi Beach and fell asleep quietly.
Zhao Quan quietly drove the horse, and connected the rope to the two crescent moons on Yuezhi Beach.Those wild horses were all locked in the encirclement formed by the rope and Yuezhi Beach.Zhao Quan and his men tied ropes to the horses, there was one not far away, then took out the oil bottle and poured oil on the ropes.Then tie a string of bells to the horse.After everything was ready, Zhao Quan gave an order, and everyone struck flints and threw them on the rope.Hearing a bang, the thick rope immediately burned into a gigantic fire dragon. The horses were frightened suddenly, immediately hissed sadly, and ran desperately towards Yuezhi Beach.
The bells hanging on them rang loudly, making a series of shrill sounds.The wild horses were startled immediately, and the fire in front of them covered the sky, as if a big fire dragon rushed towards them with a loud noise.These wild horses were greatly frightened, and instinctively galloped towards Yuezhitan Lake.
This quiet lake has a history of hundreds of years. The lake seeps into the ground and forms extremely deep silt. Once the horses sink into it, even if they have supernatural abilities, they will be unable to struggle anymore.This is Zhao Quan's plan to hunt horses.
At this time, seeing that the plan had succeeded, the frightened wild horses suddenly rushed to the lake.Zhao Quan was overjoyed, he called his men to prepare equipment, and began to hunt horses.
Suddenly, there was a high-pitched neighing of "Herod" by the lake, and the panicked wild horses immediately slowed down as if they had received an order.Zhao Quan was extremely surprised, seeing wild horses surging like a whirlwind, suddenly turning into a torrent and rushing towards him.
Zhao Quan was taken aback. The horse hunting plan he had planned so hard failed just before it was about to succeed.He was so enraged that he saw a carmine red wild horse rushing towards the fire dragon like a whirlwind.The horse let out Herod's long hiss again, and jumped up suddenly, like a crimson whirlwind, it jumped over the fire dragon and shot at Zhao Quan!
Behind it, a group of wild horses lined up neatly, following it and charging forward.Under the leadership of this horse, they are no longer afraid or flustered, no matter what is in front of them, they will rush past!
Zhao Quan let out a loud roar, pulled himself up suddenly, and rushed towards the carmine horse.
He must not let this horse ruin his big business!
It was Zhao Quan who gathered the troops, took the equipment, and led the group to the north.Except for Xiangsi and Gerile, the team is full of good players who have followed Zhao Quan for many years, all of them have good kung fu, and they are all seasoned hunters.Without Zhao Quan's instructions, they brought the things they needed, prepared dry food, clean water, hunting gear and other things for more than ten days, and carried them on horses.They asked Xiangsi and Gerile to sit on the horses, strode forward, and drove the horses forward.

Behind it, a group of wild horses lined up neatly, following it and charging forward.Under the leadership of this horse, they are no longer afraid or flustered, no matter what is in front of them, they will rush past!
Zhao Quan let out a loud roar, pulled himself up suddenly, and rushed towards the carmine horse.

Zhao Quan let out a loud roar, pulled himself up suddenly, and rushed towards the carmine horse.
He must not let this horse ruin his big business!
Unexpectedly, the horse ran like the wind, Zhao Quan grasped its mane with his fingers, the rouge horse let out a long neigh, accelerated suddenly, and left Zhao Quan behind.
After all, Zhao Quan's cultivation was deep, and as soon as his feet hit the ground, he immediately hooked his toes, and the rope that was going to catch the horse was immediately picked up by him, twitched in the air, and wrapped around the neck of the rouge horse. With a strong swing, his body swept away like an eagle. He got up and threw himself on the back of the rouge horse.
Unexpectedly, the horse was so handsome that it stopped suddenly.It actually stopped as soon as it said it, and while running rapidly, its body was nailed to the ground like a nail, motionless.Zhao Quan was caught off guard, and just as he sat firmly on the horse, he was thrown out and hit the ground firmly.With a long howl, the rouge horse leaped into the air and stomped hard towards Zhao Quan.
Zhao Quan didn't expect the horse to be so alert, so he hurriedly moved away and dodged it.At this instant, the rouge horse threw off the rope around its neck, turned into a red cloud, and ran forward angrily.In an instant, Zhao Quan has been thrown away by three or four feet!
Tens of thousands of horses are galloping behind, wild horses are chasing the trail of the rouge horses, and thousands of hooves step through the silence of the night, running wildly on the grassland like a torrent.
The sound was like thunder.
Zhao Quan straightened up like a carp, his body flew up, and landed on the front horse.The horse neighed angrily and swung vigorously, trying to throw him off.But it was not as swift as the Rouge Horse, after a few times of effort, it couldn't get rid of Zhao Quan, and the horses behind pushed forward.It no longer cared about Zhao Quan, and rushed forward with all its strength.
Seen from a distance, the wild horses are like an angry dragon, raising smoke and dust all over the sky, chasing a red bead rushing forward in a trance.
That rouge horse ran like a shooting star, running so fiercely that it didn't pick up any dust.Zhao Quan couldn't help admiring secretly.
He was thinking of a way to catch up with the rouge horse and subdue it, when he suddenly screamed involuntarily.
Where the rouge horse charged furiously, Xiangsi and Gerile stood impressively!
And after it, thousands of horses galloped, and they also rushed forward.These wild horses are extremely ferocious, if they rush over at this speed, they might trample the two of them into flesh!
Zhao Quan was shocked and shouted for the two to avoid.Xiangsi and Gerile were also shocked to find that the wild horse rushed in front of them, but the rouge horse was coming too fast, like a red lightning bolt, and it was only when they realized that it had already shot in front of Xiangsi!
Xiangsi didn't have time to think about it, her sleeves flew out and wrapped around the horse's neck.She has no martial arts, so she can only rely on her strength to fly up, holding Gerile with one hand, and landed on Rouge Ma.
Ma Yangtian hissed and stopped suddenly.
Xiangsi and Gerile were caught off guard, and immediately flung them away like a kite disconnected.Zhao Quan was already on guard against this move. With his feet strong, his body flew into the air, and the rope in his hand fell out like a poisonous snake, encircling Xiangsi and Gerile, and firmly fixed them on Rouge Ma.
The two of Acacia and Acacia just came to a complete shock, Yanzhima hissed again, and rushed out like lightning.This time Zhao Quan naturally wouldn't let it do whatever he wanted, another rope flew away, wrapped around its neck, and clamped its feet hard.The horse under his crotch neighed sadly, was restrained by his divine power, and its running slowed down.
The rouge horse is like a dragon, with two people on its back, it still runs to extinction, but the noose around its neck is tightly strangled by Zhao Quan, and it will not let it go forward, which is equivalent to the weight of him and one horse. , and all fell on the body of the rouge horse.Although the rouge horse was born with a different species, but with such a great strength, it finally became a little exhausted. After running for more than ten miles, it finally slowed down.
Zhao Quan shouted: "Princess! Rein in it, let it run back!"
Acacia lost all her internal strength and could hardly do anything.Fortunately, although this rouge horse ran swiftly, it didn't bump at all, and it didn't feel hard.At this time, Zhao Quan yelled, hugged the horse's neck with both hands, and pulled it aside vigorously.The Yanzhi horse was a little tired, so he couldn't help turning around, leading the rolling horses behind him, drew a huge circle, and ran back to Yuezhitan.
Those attendants were in a hurry, when they saw the horses rushing back, they immediately clapped loudly with joy.Acacia drove the rouge horse and rushed towards the lake.Seeing that the trick was successful, Zhao Quan shook his hand and let go of the rope.
The wild horses followed behind the rouge horse, and jumped into the water with a plop.The silt in the lake immediately trapped them all.The horse in front was stuck, but the horse behind did not hesitate at all, stopped, and still ran inside.After a while, all the horses were stuck in the mud and could not move.
The rouge horse, carrying Acacia and Gerile, stepped on the waves and floated across the lake like a red cloud.After losing Zhao Quan's restraint, its divine steed was once again brought into full play.
Afraid that it would run away again, Xiangsi hurriedly used both sleeves to strangle it.Rouge Ma Xu was tired, so he stopped and stopped on the shore of the lake.Drops of sweat fell into the lake water, like faint powder stains, really beautiful.
Gerile exclaimed, "Sister, it's hurt."
Xiangsi cherishes this horse very much, she was surprised when she heard this, and when she looked down, she said with a smile: "Silly boy, it's not an injury. It's its sweat. The ancients called it a blood-sweat horse, and it's a rare species that can't be seen in a thousand years. "
When the horse heard her praise, Herod let out another cry, as if he could understand her.Acacia smiled slightly, loving it very much.Looking back at the surface of the lake, there are some lake weeds and aquatic plants growing shallowly. With these things, this rouge horse can run across the lake with just a little relay, and I can't help being extremely surprised.
The moonlight was cold in the sky, Gerile suddenly shivered, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "Sister, let's go back."
A cold voice said: "Yes, princess, come back with me."
A cold voice said: "Yes, princess, come back with me."
Xiangsi was startled, and saw a person dressed in black floating not far away under the faint moonlight.When the breeze blew, his robe sleeves fluttered, as if hanging in the air.
Gerile couldn't help but let out an exclamation, and tightly grasped Xiangsi's skirt.
Xiangsiqing knew that he had met a master, suppressed the fear in his heart, and asked, "Who is your Excellency?"
The man sneered: "It doesn't matter who I am, the princess has been away from home for too long, it's time to go back."
He stretched out his right hand and grabbed Xiangsi.A gust of cold energy rushed towards his face, Xiangsi was startled suddenly, his martial arts were extremely powerful, his inner strength had already formed indistinctly, and under the dim moonlight, it turned into a purple mist, rushing towards Xiangsi.Acacia who has no martial arts, how can she resist?
Herod neighed, and the rouge horse suddenly jumped up, like a flash of red lightning, and jumped over the man's head.The man didn't seem to have expected that the Rouge Horse was such a steed, he grabbed the air with one claw, and the Rouge Horse shot straight out.That man's kung fu is really good, his body suddenly spun, flew up, and hit the rouge horse.
Unexpectedly, Yanzhima used her legs hard, and suddenly rushed to the side.This time the man in black expected it to be bigger, the claw had missed again, and the rouge horse had already used all its strength to gallop out.
The man smiled coldly, unfolded his lightness kung fu, and chased after him.He is extremely confident in his martial arts, how can he fail to catch up with a horse?
Unexpectedly, this horse is really extraordinary, the man drummed up his anger a few times, but got farther and farther away from the rouge horse.While chasing, there was a sudden thud, and the man disappeared without a trace.
It turned out that after the rouge horse ran for a while, it used its innate ability and ran to the lake.The man ran after him with all his strength, but he didn't expect that the horse would enter the water without sinking, so he stepped on the water and immediately fell into the lake with a thud.
With a roar, the man suddenly pulled himself up, his whole body dripping wet, and rushed towards the rouge horse.When did he suffer such a great humiliation?If you don't tear this evil horse into pieces, how can you get over your anger!
He stretched out his arms, two clouds of purple mist sprang out at the same time, intertwined in the air to form a purple dragon, heaving and blowing like lightning, roaring down towards Acacia!
No matter how handsome this horse is, it will never be able to stop his thunderous blow!
At this moment, suddenly, a long and long sigh drilled into his ears.
A flower suddenly appeared in front of him, a plum blossom.
The plum shadow was in a mess, floating down leisurely.
He was startled suddenly, and the power in his palm suddenly disappeared.He stared fixedly at the plum blossom, and for a moment forgot that he was supposed to fight for Acacia.
With a plop, he fell into the lake again.
Yan Zhima, with lovesickness, has crossed the lake and joined Zhao Quan and others.
The man in black surfaced again, looking at Acacia's receding figure, he suddenly smiled melancholy:
"So you're here too."
His sigh was so lonely in the night. "This place is no longer a place for me to compete for supremacy."
He waved his sleeves and disappeared in the moonlight.
Zhao Quan and others saw someone attacking across the lake. Although they were very anxious, they couldn't rescue them.
Rouge Ma was burdened with Acacia and Gerile, but she had no intention of running away.
Zhao Quan said with a smile: "Princess, it seems that it recognizes you as the master."
Gerile said: "Sister, it did a great job in saving you, you should make it a marquis."
Xiangsi stroked the horse's back, also very happy, and said with a smile: "What do you think should be sealed?"
Gerile said: "Look at it is covered in rouge, why not call it Marquis of Rouge, its nickname is Rouge."
Rouge Ma let out a long hiss, as if expressing deep agreement.
Everyone laughed together.
Everyone lit a bonfire and sat by the lake all night, and dawn came slowly.
The wild horses were tired after dancing in the mud all night, lying motionless in the lake water.Rouge hissed around Acacia, and they stopped struggling.Zhao Quan and the others pulled the rope, tied it around their necks, and pulled them out.They are almost motionless and at the mercy of man.At this point the ropes brought came in handy, and all the horses were tied together in one long file.These ropes are as thick as a child's arm, woven with felt wool, and are extremely strong.Although the wild horse is strong, it can't break free.After a busy day, all the horses were pulled out.After counting, there were a total of 532 horses, far exceeding the previous estimate.Everyone was beaming, and the unhappiness of last night was forgotten.After hastily eating some supper, he drove the horses on the road.
With so many horses traveling together, the journey was slower.After walking for eight or nine days, I finally saw the deserted city from afar.
Acacia couldn't help being surprised.
Huge changes have taken place in the deserted city.
Ruins remain ruins, and filth remains filth.
On the side of the deserted city, a new city has begun to take shape.The new city was almost the same size as the original deserted city, but it was located on the flatter part of Toyosu Beach.On both sides of the wide street, dozens of houses made of blue bricks were built, and more houses were being built. Not far away, several brick kilns were smoking, and hundreds of workers were digging up the bricks from the ground. The mud is made into adobes, which are dried in the sun and then sent to a brick kiln to be fired into solid and beautiful green bricks.These bricks were sent to the laid foundations one after another, and houses rose quickly one after another.
The houses were tall and spacious, simple but warm enough for a family to live together comfortably.It was a brighter and more comfortable home than a yurt, which surprised and delighted the residents of the grassland.They worked tirelessly and built more houses under the guidance of skilled craftsmen.They affectionately call them "ban sheng".
And outside the city, a large area of fertile land has been reclaimed, and the water from the Xiaohei River has been diverted to irrigate these virgin lands that have never been planted.The residents of the deserted city are clumsily pulling rice seedlings and planting them in the fields.They laughed at each other kindly, but actively learned from each other's strengths, improving their skills a little bit and a little bit more.
In a trance, Acacia seems to have returned to the water town in the south of the Yangtze River.On the mirror-like rice fields, farmers with reed hats are working, and egrets fly slowly by from time to time...
That was the longing that remained in her heart, always accompanied by that tinge of blue sorrow.
In a trance, she seemed to land here, and her eyes were blurred with tears.
She didn't know how she entered this new city, and the people in the city greeted her with cheers and tears, but she was no longer confused.
She knew that she could save them.
This city will definitely become a rich and free city.
People love her, not because she brings them rice, houses, cattle and sheep...but another thing that makes them feel grateful for life.
belief.
Only she has it.
Only she can do it.
Chapter 17 Sweeping away the dust and returning to the iron horse
What followed was a rare period of peace in the deserted city.
There is no hustle and bustle, no war, and the people in the deserted city are working hard under the guidance of Zhao Quan and Li Zixin.They drove the cattle, reclaimed one piece after another of wasteland, and planted rice; they grazed the horses and welcomed the first foal with joy; they built row after row with solid blue bricks. The plate rises...
Their homes gradually became rich and beautiful.Even the people in the surrounding villages couldn't help being attracted by them, learning everything about them clumsily.They taught them without hesitation, and warmly invited them to visit the deserted city.
"Desolate City" has become the common name of the new city and the old city, and they hope that this name will be passed down forever.
Because it is the legend of the lotus goddess, it is worth passing down from generation to generation.
After more than ten days, a total of 346 Bansheng buildings were built in the new city, and 11,742 mu of fertile land was reclaimed, and all of them were planted with rice.The green tiles in the city are sparkling, and the rice seedlings are scattered outside the city, just like a prosperous place in the Central Plains.而大批枣红马栖息在附近的牧场上，却是苍茫的草原风光。
多亏了相思借来的三千头耕牛，开垦才会如此顺利。草原广阔万里，拿犁垦开了晒晒，便是良田，丝毫不费功夫。
相思憔悴的脸上，终于浮起淡淡的笑容。
一封信摆在她面前。
信封上钤着一只眼眸的印记，苍白的，没有瞳仁的眼眸。
相思心一紧，她知道，这是蒙古国师、八白室宗主、非天之族最后的王裔——重劫的标记。
她轻轻将信拆开。
“荏苒岁月，忽忽欲满。三月之期，今过其一。白铁为城，当贮碧血。非天之国，今将重生。蒲鞭画地，未足为诫。烂坷观局，岂复为梦。炙酒山崖，待君子之来也。”
相思阅罢，久久不语。
已经过去一个月了么？
现在的荒城，究竟能不能胜过白银之天连城，她并没有十足的把握。重劫这封信，显然是要她去白银城观礼，目的无非是只有一个：羞辱她。
她静静地沉吟片刻，有了决断。她悄悄骑上胭脂，走出了荒城。
白银城离荒城并不算很远，就在祭台右侧，背倚着青山。这些日子相思一直在荒城中忙碌着，她对重劫始终怀有一份恐惧，下意识地避开了此处。此时胭脂越走越近，一座高大的城池出现在眼前。
那是一座洁白的城，全都由最纯色的大理石砌就，上面镶饰着白银花纹。巍峨，雄壮，圣洁，坚固。高达七丈的城墙连绵十余里，化成一个平整的圆弧，将整座城都笼在其中。城的北侧靠着峻兀的岩崖，另三面，则是引流而来的大黑河，形成宽阔的护城河。巨大的眼眸符号涂在城墙上，令它如上古卧伏的巨人，沉静、深邃。
城中林立的，是刚修好的重重高楼，也全都由纯白的巨石垒砌，镶嵌着蛇与眼眸的纹饰。那是充满着异国情调的建筑，都有着尖尖的顶、细长的楼体，像是一柄柄长刃，规则地插在白银城中。
城中心大空阔中，一座白色的高塔拔地而起，直冲云霄。洁白的塔身方圆几百丈，高耸几十丈，在最顶端收束成圆锥形的尖顶，支入了云幕中。不时有冲天的火光自高塔中冒出，化成浓重的黑云，结在高塔最顶端。
这座白玉高塔，就宛如联接魔天与凡境的通道，于沉沉漆黑之中，散发着秘魔般的妖异光芒。
遍城眼眸，宛如在此一刻醒来，冷冷凝视着相思。
相思忍不住打了个寒噤。胭脂低低啸叫了一声，停住了脚步。连它这等神物，似是也不敢靠近这座非天魔都。
城门缓缓打开。
一骑白马出现，上面坐着个苍白的人影。白色的斗篷垂下来，将人与马全都罩住，呈现出死寂的颜色。
他向着相思伸出了一只苍白的手。
那是恶魔的邀约。
相思默默无言，催促胭脂向前，在他带领下，进入城中。
这座城的宽广、宏伟，才真正地烙进她的内心。站在城门口，她甚至无法望到另一边的城墙。这座城的巨大，已经超出了她之想象，她骑在马上，站在这里，感觉自己是那么渺小。
震耳欲聋的声音充斥在城中，那是建造声、锻铸声、练兵声、喝叱声。这座城池已成了一座巨大的战争机器，正在以惊人的高速运转着。一件件精良的铠甲，一柄柄锐利的武器，一个个娴熟的士兵，被迅速地制造出来，运往他们该去的地方。这座城也在完善着，构筑起一道道严密的防御攻势。
它正在缓慢地变成一位披坚执锐的巨人，一位专为战争而生的巨人。
二十万名奴隶，在死亡的边缘上挣扎着，将他们的生命浇注在这座城上面。凶残的监工挥舞着铁鞭，催促着他们。不时有人倒在地上，再也无法爬起。他们是蒙古铁骑自征服之处掳掠来的俘虏，他们的一生，都将在这座城中短暂地度过。
他们的苦难，铸就这座城的辉煌。
相思默默地前行着，她的心揪得很紧。两人打马，慢慢地循着中央高塔的石阶而上。这座城渐渐化成一个剪影，深深烙在两人眼睛里。
白袍深处，是重劫闪耀的目光。他弥足骄傲，因为，他最终实现了非天之族的愿望，让三连城重新出现在大地上。
非天之族，将再不必忍受地底的黑暗，与北塞的苦寒，他们将乘着骏马，在神明与三连城的指引下，横扫整个大地，取回该属于他们的一切。
而相思就是第一个见证者。
亦是第一颗被征服的心。
他伸出手，仿佛要拥抱眼前的辉煌，苍凉而恢弘的白色包围着他，他就像是一位骄傲的国王，扬起了双手：“你看到了什么？”
相思默默不语。
重劫琉璃般通透的双目中闪着奇异的光彩：
“功勋、荣耀，城池、土地，丝缎、粮米，富足、自由……我能看到它们，当非天之铁骑踏过大地的时候，这一切，都将属于我的族人！”
他骤然低头，盯住相思：
“看到了么？这就是我族代代苦行乞求的、梵天的祝福！”
战争，是祝福么？
功勋、荣耀。
城池、土地。
丝缎、粮米。
富足、自由。
都将会由战争取得么？
为什么她看到的却是苦难？
战争，是祝福么？
功勋、荣耀。
城池、土地。
丝缎、粮米。
富足、自由。
都将会由战争取得么？
为什么她看到的却是苦难？
她眼前出现了一幕幻影，宏伟的城门打开，暴虐的蒙古骑兵狂涌而出，像是一道黑色的血流，流过整个大地。烽火、杀戮将染满整个铠甲，所到之处，掳掠烧杀，千里赤地。餍足的士兵拖着疲乏的身体归来，满载战利品。庆功会上，所有的人都欢欣鼓舞，按照功劳的大小，每个人都封赏牛马、珠宝、官爵、妇女。
但他们的功勋何来？那烽烟燃烧的地方，会富足么？free?
丝缎，粮米。城池，土地。功勋，荣耀。
荣耀而恢弘。
但那被掠夺的、厮杀的、分离的、凌辱的，会富足么？free?
No.It's not like this.
相思抬头，毫畏惧地望着重劫那残忍而愉悦的眸子，轻声道：
“那么，国师愿意移驾，去荒城看看么？”
重劫微微呆了呆，似乎没有料想到，相思会做这样的回答。
她不是应该恐惧，应该战栗，应该会跪下来为荒城百姓哀求么？有什么样的城，能够抵挡住这座三连城？
这个赌约已经有了结果，荒城无论成为怎样，都将不再有意义。
这座城池，将摧毁一切。
重劫眼中的那一丝惊讶，渐渐蜕变成揶揄。
"it is good."
两人信马由缰，从白银城往荒城行去。重劫骤然勒住马缰。
眼前的一切，让他震惊。
那连绵粼粼的青色瓦房，是什么？那已长到一尺多高、整齐的禾苗，是什么？那遍地成群的枣红色马群，是什么？
一个月来，他为了白银连城的修建费尽了心血，甚至连去地心之城跪拜神明的次数也减到了最少，更不用说来荒城看一看了。在他眼中，荒城不过是个笑话而已，能做到什么地步？
怎会变成这个样子？
这并没有什么。就算房屋再多，禾苗、马群再足，也不过是注定的战利品而已。让他震惊的，是行走在这一切中的，那一个个人，以及他们脸上的笑容。
那是多么满足、欢喜的笑容啊，他们在青色的板升旁劳作着，在稻田中、蹊头上耕种着，他们在马群中、牛圈里经营着，他们不吝惜每一分力气，他们面容上写满了疲倦、汗水不住从脸上落下来浸湿了衣服，但他们的面容却安宁无比，他们劳作着，只因为他们欢喜。
How is this possible?
这些人群，重劫并不陌生。他叫他们“贱民”。他们天生就是该劳作的，但只有鞭子，才能催促他们用尽力气。只要稍不注意，他们就会偷懒。他们习于疲倦，只懂得辱骂，肮脏、低俗，是财富的最廉价的象征。
他们怎么可能，如此幸福地劳作着呢？
他们脸上的表情，是重劫从未见到过的。那表情灼进他的眼中，让他感到深深的刺痛。
因为，那表情是如此熟悉。
仿佛，第一代的非天之王，在经历苦行后，获得祝福时的微笑。
仿佛，那执掌一切命运的梵天，在降临时的寂静面容。
仿佛，当宇宙崩坏时，跳着坦达罗舞的湿婆天眼中的那抹光辉。
那是该写成传说、刻成壁画、流传成史诗的光荣；那是将会诞育万物的莲花的浮晕；那是一切心灵最后的归宿。
那是如此庄严宁静的象征，怎么会出现在这些贱民脸上？
那是对神的僭越！
重劫紧紧咬住嘴唇，齿间溅开一缕腥咸。
相思望着荒城的百姓，脸上满是幸福：“难道他们不够富足、自由么？我们何必需要战争？”
“住口！”重劫骤然出手，一鞭重重抽在两人间的虚空中。破碎的声响贯空而下，胭脂竟不能避开，被一鞭抽中，仰天发出一声悲嘶。相思惊惶地勒紧缰绳，好不容易将它控住，就见重劫通透的眼眸宛如蛇一般狠狠盯住她。
“谁允许你给他们这些？”
“谁，允许的？”
他狂乱地挥舞着马鞭，将眼前的空气抽成无数碎片。
他肆意发泄着，像是个任性的孩子。蓦然，他的动作顿住，呼吸慢慢平复。所有的暴躁凝固在他脸上，化成一丝残忍的冷笑：
“将这一切，全都抹去，如何？”
他优雅地向相思鞠了一躬，淡灰色的眸子冷冷注视着她，看尽她的惊恐。
他知道，方才白银城一行，她已经见识到了足够的恐惧，若是这些恐惧全都对着荒城打开，没有一兵一卒的荒城，是无法抵挡的。
而他，就是要开启这一切。
他缓缓伸手，苍白的两指间夹着一张唐卡。
“来找你的那个男人，曾经玩过一个很有趣的游戏，我忍不住想学习一下。”
轻轻一抖，唐卡落在相思面前。
马。
一寸多长的唐卡上用银线绣着一匹马。绣工不算精细，寥寥几笔，勾勒出奔马那矫健的身姿。
相思的秀眉微微蹙起，这意味着什么？
重劫面容恢复了平静，向相思挥手致意，驱马离开。
苍白的身影消失在城外，相思执着那张唐卡，迟迟无法领悟究竟是什么意思。
她将唐卡拿给赵全等人看，他们也都是大惑不解。赵全生恐重劫要对付野马群，不敢再放牧，将马群圈在城内，割了些干草喂养。
接下几日，却是风平浪静，什么事都没有发生。
越是平静，相思就越是担心。因为，重劫绝不是个危言耸听的人。他说过要对荒城出手，就一定会出手。而且不达目标，就绝不会罢休！
一日正午，相思正在同百姓们一起劳作，突然听得城北一片喧哗，有人大叫道：
“铁骑兵！铁骑兵！”
她心中一阵紧张，急忙向城外奔去。远远地，就见赵全面容凝重，双目死死地盯着远方。
正午的阳光灿烂之极，照着那青青的地平线上，慢慢升起一杆旌旗。
国师重劫，亲手执着那杆旌旗，肃然不语，慢慢走过草原。他一直走到相思面前，无比敬畏地将旌旗插在草原大地上。
白色的旌旗，在风中微微飘扬，一枚巨大的眼眸在空中扯开。这是一只完整的眼眸，不再像原来那样，没有瞳仁。它就像是巨人怒睁的眼睛，向着天空无声吼啸着。
战鼓声响起。
众人只觉整座城都仿佛被振动了一般，仿佛什么庞然大物正在靠近。
慢慢地，一抹银色出现在众人面前。
银光才一出现，就与火烈的日光连绵成一片，耀得人眼都睁不开。那震地的轰鸣声，也越来越响。
那是一队骑兵，却是他们从来没见过的骑兵。
那是一队骑兵，却是他们从来没见过的骑兵。
纯白色的银铠覆在他们身上，那银铠厚重，宽大，密不透风，从头到脚，连整匹马都护住了，不留出一丝缝隙。就连眼睛也被透明的水晶块挡住。银铠在双掌处结成细链勾织的护手，一柄巨大而沉重的狼牙棒执在每位骑兵的手中。
马缓慢地前行着，每一步，都沉重无比，仿佛一座山在行走一般。荒城的百姓忍不住躁动起来。他们从未见过装备如此精良的骑兵，不由得一阵窒息。
重劫面容隐在白色风雾之下，欣赏着他们的惊惧。
他知道，这惊惧，至少有七成是由他带给他们的。他，作为蒙古国师，八白室宗主，早就成为神一般的存在。当他率领着铁骑兵出现在荒城，预示着一件事。
国师将与他们为敌。
他无比清晰地知道这一点，他很享受这一点。
他更知道，这队铁骑兵的战力有多强大。纵然是明朝最精锐的部队，也不堪一击，何况荒城的乌合之众。
他要她恐惧，要她跪拜在他面前，哀声恳求。
他握住旌旗，缓缓挥动。
一阵闷哑的声音闪过，铁骑兵催动跨下的马匹，向荒城冲了过来。
沉重的铁甲让马匹无法迅速跑动，但当它们跑起来之后，就绝无人能够挡住。一队跑动起来的铁骑兵，甚至连武器都不用，就足以将挡路的一切撞碎！
如何抵挡？
相思心中一片紊乱，手握着那张唐卡，她已明白唐卡上的马代表着什么含义。但她却想不出方法来对付这些铁骑兵。
恍惚之间，宛如日光下卷起一片雪暴，铁骑兵奔势越来越快，厉烈的杀戮之风刮起，浸满整座荒城！
赵全跟李自馨使了个眼色，两人大喝一声，双双跃起，向铁骑兵扑去。两人对自己的武功都有相当的自信，天下英雄能胜过他们的不过几人而已，这些铁骑兵虽然厉害，但真能抵挡住绝顶高手之一击么？
两人身子横空，宛如鹰翔豹舞，各各施展武当绝学，一人一招“星满长空”，另一人一招“天河怒迸”，引动全身功力，在日光下，各自曳出一条精光，向铁骑兵劈头斩去。
那些铁骑兵恍如不觉，催动战马，越来越快地向前冲去。叮叮两声响，赵全、李自馨的长剑斩在甲上，只斩得火星四迸，却无法损伤那厚厚的银铠。两人心中一凛，铁骑兵手中狼牙棒舞起，蓝光闪闪，如同春潮般向两人涌了过去。这一击携着战马怒冲之势，力量强横之极。两人身在半空中，无法抵挡，只好舞起长剑，向狼牙棒上招架而去。只听“咯咯”两声响，两人手中长剑全都断裂。
好在两人都是绝顶高手，断剑在狼牙棒上一按，齐齐飞身纵落。却不禁都是骇然变色。
这铁骑兵胜就胜在重铠厚极，将全身遮住。纵然高手之剑，也无法斩破。加上战马怒冲之势，威力难挡。
小小荒城，却经得起他们几次冲击？
两人都是咬牙不语，脸色铁青。
这座荒城中倾注了两人一个多月的心血，岂能容铁骑兵肆虐？何况两人半生颠沛流离，受人追杀，好不容易有了个容身之所，几乎将这里当成了家，一旦荒城遭遇危难，那可是感同身受，恨不得以身代之。
但面对这种浑身钢铁的庞然大物，纵然英雄如赵全、李自馨，却也不由得束手无策，同时虎吼一声，睚眦迸裂！
城最外端的藩篱丝毫无法阻挡铁骑兵的怒冲，被踏得粉碎。
新生的荒城，将迎接铁骑兵的屠戮。
粼粼青瓦，扶疏稻禾，无法挡得住这些铁蹄。富足、自由的希望，终究将沦入战火。
相思紧咬着嘴唇，几乎忍不住开口向重劫求恳。她不能眼睁睁地看着这座新生之城，毁于一旦。
杂乱的铁蹄声，随着狂野的嘶啸，踏碎了她紊乱的思绪。
突然，她脑海中猛然一动，忍不住脱口而出：
“野马！”
她想起了那一晚，他们捉拿野马的情景，顿时眼前一亮，高呼道：“淤泥！用淤泥困住他们！”
赵全李自馨双双神情一震，刹那间明白了相思的意思。
荒城这一月开垦极多，周围都是稻田，里面积满了水，淤泥极深。铁骑兵一旦陷身其中，就跟野马陷入湖泥一样，再大的威力也无法施展出来。两人大喜，双双跃起！
虽然无法格杀铁骑兵，但若只是令他们稍微拐个弯，还是能够的。两人掌势翻飞，齐齐击在马头处。战马一声悲嘶，被掌力带动，斜斜奔了出去。铁骑兵的劣势顿时显露无遗，无论骑兵怎么勒马，都无法阻止战马狂奔，斜斜向稻田里冲去。赵全李自馨掌势飞舞，几十匹铁马全都被带偏了方向，奔入稻田内。
稻田淤泥极深，马才踏入，立即便没至膝盖。战马奔跑之势不能止住，又奋力前行几步，终于陷在其中，无法再动分毫。马上的骑兵早就一头栽入了稻田中。他们身上的铠甲沉重之极，披甲几乎无法步行。此时陷入稻田，铁铠成了个极大的累赘，越是挣扎，便越是被带着向淤泥中深陷。顿时发出一阵惊慌的乱叫，狼狈不堪。
围观的荒城百姓禁不住发出一阵哄笑，但一接触到重劫那恼怒凌厉的眼神，他们不由得一阵恐惧，急忙住口。
在他们心底，重劫仍有着无比的威严。他们悄悄地帮忙，将铁骑兵连人带马从稻田里拖出来。可怜这些战场上百战百胜的骁勇之师，此时全身沾满了污泥，不再可怕，倒是可笑之极。
重劫看都不看他们一眼，只注目相思，微笑致意道：
“很感谢你呢，让我看到了铁骑兵的弱点……”
两指轻轻一抖，一张唐卡落下。
“你将怎样应对我第二张牌呢？我很感兴趣。”
他轻轻拔起地上的旌旗，率着铁骑兵退去。
溃败铁骑兵牵着战马，一瘸一拐地跟着他，向白银城走去，他们偷眼看着重劫那平静如常的脸，心中充满了恐惧。
那张唐卡上，绘着一只粉白可爱的小犬。
第十八章 原野暮云低欲雨
荒城的百姓并没有将这一战当回事，毕竟，铁骑兵败得很快，很狼狈。威严无比的八白室国师，也并没有怒发冲冠。这只是一件小插曲而已，过去也就算了。
但相思与赵全等人却并不这样想，他们愁眉紧锁。
显然，重劫仅仅只是试探，并没有出全力。白银天连城绝不只有这十几位铁骑兵。一旦几百、几千位铁骑兵一齐冲来，绝没有任何力量能影响他们。
那时，荒城会在瞬间成为废墟。
与其说是试探，不如说是戏弄。荒城本还有些收缴来的兵器，所以能组建一只军队，数次打败了俺达汗部下的进攻。但自那次被把汗那吉全部擒捉之后，一切兵器全被收走，再也无力形成军队。虽然赵全、李自馨等人带来了很多农具，但显然无法抵挡铁骑兵这样的攻势。
但，要应对重劫的进攻，荒城必须要组建起一定的军事来。现在开始修筑防御工事，不但来不及，还会影响畜牧、农业。最有效的办法是组建起一只小规
