Chapter 42 Chapter 42: Refuge in a Desolate Village, Idle Sword and Horse, Buried Names in Exotic Lands, Unbreakable Lovesickness

Yu Jiaolong never expected that she had only been in Wusu for more than a day, and she had already been found out by so many people.She couldn't help feeling a burst of horror on the horse!The sudden and unexpected behavior of Xiaotong made her feel even more unpredictable and sinister, and she was also aware of the dangers lurking around her.She must leave Wusu quickly!But who was waiting in the woods ahead?Is the boy stopping the horse and telling each other to guide the maze, or to set a trap?Yu Jiaolong suddenly seemed to be in a desperate situation, but also seemed to be trapped in a tight siege. A sense of facing the enemy cheered her up, and she rode forward, as if she was galloping on the Youyan Road back then, and she rode her horse forward, staring at the people in front of her. everything.

The gate of the city gate has been closed, and there are two patrolmen at each station inside and outside the wooden gate to check pedestrians. This west city gate is the main road leading to the Jinghe River. Usually, there are many tourists coming and going from morning to night, which adds a lot of excitement to Wusu; but now it has become deserted, as if the whole city of Wusu was suddenly infected Pestilence in general.At this time, inside and outside the wooden fence, several passers-by were also stopped there, enduring difficulties and interrogation by the patrolmen.Among them, there was a young shepherdess girl who was being harassed by two watchmen and turned pale with panic, feeling ashamed and angry, feeling ashamed.A passer-by couldn't bear to watch, and pleaded on her behalf: "A girl's family will never be a murderer. Why do you make things difficult for her!"

The patrolman who was pestering the passer-by glared at the passer-by, and said, "How dare you say that she is not the murderer?! The two brothers we were killed before were done by a young pregnant woman. Today I am Touch her belly to see if she is pregnant and if she is the murderer!" After speaking, he went to pull the girl again, stretched his hands into her arms and pinched her, and the girl was frightened. Crying and screaming, struggling desperately.A few watchmen laughed happily beside them. Yu Jiaolong had seen all these scenes in her eyes, she suppressed her anger, and rode her horse to the wooden gate.The four watchmen were stunned, looked at her, then looked at the big black horse and the tall Bactrian camel behind it, and glanced at each other with surprise in their eyes.Yu Jiaolong sat upright on the horse, staring at the guard who was pulling the girl with piercing eyes, and said sharply: "Let her go!"

The patrolman was startled, and immediately let go of the girl's hand. Yu Jiaolong jumped off the horse, walked up to the girl, helped her arrange the messy clothes, and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." The four patrolmen exchanged glances with each other again, and a patrolman who looked like a small boss came forward, looked at Yu Jiaolong and asked, "Where are you from?" Yu Jiaolong: "Mongolia." "Where to go?" "Lake Abbey." The little boss Xun Ding glanced at the child in Yu Jiaolong's arms, and asked again: "Are you going back to your husband's house or your mother's house?"

Yu Jiaolong: "This has nothing to do with you." The little boss Xun Ding looked at her again, and asked strangely: "Are you alone all the way?" Yu Jiaolong: "So what if I'm single!" The little leader patrol gradually became more courageous: "It's inconvenient to travel alone, and you are so young and beautiful, so you are not afraid of encountering clouds for a long time?" Yu Jiaolong's heart beat suddenly, her face couldn't help but flushed, and she said angrily, "So what if you meet the clouds for a long time?" The two watchmen standing on the other side of the wooden fence also hurriedly pushed open the fence and came over to join in the fun.

One of them rushed forward, looked sideways at Yu Jiaolong and said, "Ban Tianyun is a hungry pervert, if you meet her, she will strip you naked." Another watchman hurriedly came up and said, "I will also raise a pony thief for him before releasing you." Yu Jiaolong was ashamed and angry, she raised her eyebrows unconsciously, and shouted with a few guards: "How dare you be rude!" As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately punched the guard in front of him. The patrolman didn't pay attention to it yet, he just stretched out his hand to pick it up with a playful face.Yu Jiaolong suddenly turned his fist into a palm, and slashed towards his right arm, only to see the patrol screamed, and immediately squatted down on the ground.

The other three patrolmen were stunned for a moment, and then came forward again with their arms around them.Yu Jiaolong didn't wait for them to put up a stance, and immediately sent out another palm, and then flew another kick, and saw two more patrolmen fell to the side two feet away, lying on the ground, unable to move , the remaining little leader Xun Ding saw that the situation was not right, he quickly pulled out his waist knife, pointed at Yu Jiaolong and shouted: "Where did you come from, a thief woman, how dare you be violent here?" Yu Jiaolong didn't think much of him, she just stood there proudly, stared at him coldly, and didn't answer.

The little boss was overwhelmed by Yu Jiaolong's calm and composed expression, and shouted sternly: "I think you must be a spy sent by Ban Tianyun, you don't want to escape from the city today!" , carefully approaching Yu Jiaolong. Yu Jiaolong was still standing there motionless, watching him.When he was only two steps away, she suddenly straightened her body and met the blade that was slashing at him.The little boss Xun Ding was taken aback, and couldn't help shrinking his hands back. In the blink of an eye, Yu Jiaolong waved his hand like lightning, and the waist knife in the little boss's hand fell into Yu Jiaolong's hand .

He was so frightened that he just stood there blankly.Yu Jiaolong held the saber in his hand and didn't hurt him, just in front of him, folded the saber with both hands, and heard a "crack", the saber broke in two immediately.Yu Jiaolong threw it on the ground casually, and said: "Such a useless knife wants to use it to hurt people! Listen: I am the Mongolian camel bell princess, and this is the first time I pass by here. If you continue to bully others with power, once you fall into my hands , when such a knife." Yu Jiaolong mounted the horse calmly, led the camel, walked out of the gate, and headed west slowly.A string of melodious camel bells were left on the ancient road.Yu Jiaolong's angry mood gradually calmed down again.She reined in her horse and looked back, the ancient city that once made her deeply attached to it, but now it looked like a ghost land full of ghosts.She looked up, and there was a forest in the distance, which made her feel both mysterious and full of doubts: Who are the two people waiting in the forest after asking Xiaotong to pass a message to her?Although she also felt a little hesitant due to the accident of misfortune and fortune, her willful, brave and curious nature made her rush the horse's hooves unknowingly.As she rode her horse toward the woods, she took the sword from her bag and hung it beside the saddle.As long as she has a sword by her side, she feels safe and calm.

It was a pine forest, on the right side of the ancient road, and on the left side were hills, like a barrier. As soon as Yu Jiaolong got there, she immediately became more vigilant when she entered the place.She has already seen from the current terrain that this is definitely not a place for one man to guard the gate, it is just a place that is conducive to military strategists setting up ambushes and strongmen cutting paths.She was suspicious when she wanted to enter, and unwilling to retreat, she was hesitating when she reined in her horse, when she suddenly saw a man turning out from the forest path ahead, with a load of honeydew melons on his shoulders, wearing a straw hat on his head, walking with his head buried come over.Yu Jiaolong reined in the horse and watched him closely.The man came in front of her, only two steps away from the horse's head, and suddenly raised his head, revealing a heroic and slightly childish face under the straw hat, Yu Jiaolong unconsciously exclaimed: "Ah, It's Harimu!"

Harimu grinned happily.He pointed to the forest path and said, "Go along that path, Uncle Liang is waiting for you in the forest. I'll call someone to watch out, and I'll come later." After finishing speaking, he still carried the melon load. . Yu Jiaolong walked through the woods along the path, and after walking not far, she came to a slope, where Liang Chaofu was already waiting.She hurriedly dismounted to meet.As soon as Liang Chaofu met, he said with emotion: "You have gone through hardships, and it is not easy to come here. Xianggu is already looking forward to it." Yu Jiaolong was in this deserted forest in a foreign city, when she heard Liang Chao's father's words, she suddenly felt sour in her heart, and tears welled up in her eyes, but she tried her best not to let it roll out, and hurriedly recited While tying the horse, he only said lightly: "It's been a long time, Mr. Liang!" Father Liang Chao waited for her to tie the horse, took her to sit down under a tree, and then said: "We knew you had arrived in Western Xinjiang a month ago, and sent people to visit everywhere, but there was no trace. I only found out yesterday that you have arrived in Wusu, and it is inconvenient for me to meet you in the city, so we have to wait here in the forest." Yu Jiaolong couldn't help being extremely surprised, and said: "Since I left the capital, I have been hiding all the way, and I will never be recognized by anyone. How does Mr. Liang know that I have arrived in the western border?" Liang Chao's father smiled and said: "The geese pass by and take pictures, let alone people!" Yu Jiaolong pondered for a moment, then suddenly revealed an angry look, bit her lip, and said coldly: "It must be the sound of the horse on Jiayuguan!" When Liang Chaofu saw Yu Jiaolong saying this, a stern light flashed in his eyes, which made him feel a chill, and he said calmly, "Ma Qiang always has feelings of gratitude for Master Yu, and he did secretly entrust her to you. Someone told Xianggu to ask Brother Harimu to take good care of you. The misery of the city, the prestige shown in the city of Suzhou, the angry punishment of Chen Biao in front of Jiayuguan, and the righteous protection of traders on the grasslands, these have been legends among the exiles and traders in Changji and Wusu. Xianggu and I heard about what you did, but you must have done it, so it can be seen that, as the saying goes, people always have to take pictures when they pass by." After hearing these words, Yu Jiaolong's anger gradually calmed down.She was silent for a while, then asked again: "I just arrived in Wusu yesterday, how did you know?" Liang Chaofu: "Xianggu expected you to come to Wusu. She has ventured into the city many times to search for you. Harimu often sent people to check at the four gates. When you entered the city the evening before yesterday, you were spotted by a few shepherd boys. , They are the eyes and ears of Harimu, and they informed me that night, but they mistook you for a princess from Mongolia. I asked them carefully about your situation, and I heard that you were riding a horse The big black horse, who was alone again, was suspicious. Yesterday I went to the street to look around. At noon, I met you on the East Street riding back to the shop. I recognized you at a glance. I was waiting to meet you when I suddenly saw Jin Xun The inspector walked towards you with a look of surprise on his face. I saw that the situation was not good, so I hurriedly avoided it and hid in a tavern opposite to observe the movement. I went to the store, and I was worrying about you, when I suddenly felt that someone beside the seat secretly pulled me with his hand, and whispered in my ear: "Mr. Liang, don't meddle in this business! ’ I was taken aback. I didn’t expect someone here to call out my real name! I turned around to look, but it turned out to be the lame old man who came to me a few days ago to ask for divination. I was extremely surprised and felt that this person He was a little mysterious, and he didn't know what his intentions were when he said these words, so he left the tavern in a hurry and went to a home of a stranger in the west street. Brother, in case of emergency, I can take care of it. Early this morning, I heard the news that Jin Xunjian was killed last night. I suspected that it was you. I thought you would leave Wusu, so I hurried out of the city early and came here to meet you. The young man who stopped the horse at the entrance of the alley to tell you was originally a shepherd boy who saw you entering the city at Dongguan the evening before yesterday, and I also sent him." Yu Jiaolong has been listening quietly.Father Liang Chao's narration made her feel so subtle and bizarre about what happened recently, which made her see the bottom line clearly, but disturbed some thoughts.Yu Jiaolong was eager to get rid of the doubts in his heart, so he smiled faintly and asked: "Why did the shepherd boy mistake me for a Mongolian princess? Could it be because of the camel I brought with me and the camel bells on it?" Father Liang Chao was amazed and said, "It's because of those camel bells. I heard that the Mongolian princess liked to hear the camel bells since she was a child, and she often hung camel bells on her camel's neck, so people called her the camel bell princess. I don't know... " Yu Jiaolong didn't wait for Father Liang Chao to finish his sentence, he hurriedly stopped him and asked, "Since she is a Mongolian princess, why do these shepherd boys far away in Wusu pay attention to her?" Liang Chaofu: "It's a long story: because Luo Xiaohu returned to Hebei, he rescued a Mongolian horse dealer in Baxian County, named Laqin. Later, when Laqin was in charge of the prince's horse in the residence of Prince Tiebeile, He also saved Luo Xiaohu. Nalaqin was originally the horseman of the princess’s uncle, the prince of Mongolia. Fifteen years ago, during the civil strife in Mongolia, the princess’ father and uncle both died in the chaos. The princess had a younger sister, the daughter of her uncle. At that time, she was still young, and she was called Princess Tuoling. She was rescued in the chaos and fled far away without knowing her whereabouts. Laqin followed some tribes to the western border, and after settling down in Lake Aibi in Wusu, she searched for Princess Tuoling everywhere. Whereabouts, I didn’t know she was in Hazhu until not long ago. Lachen was ordered by the princess to rush back to Wusu, and sent someone to Hazhu to pick up the princess and live with her in Lake Aibi. The taxi should have arrived in the next few days .Because Laqin and Luo Xiaohu have a very close friendship, and they also had acquaintance with Harimu and me in Wangzhuang once, and they came to ask for care, we should do our best to ensure that she reaches Lake Aibi safely." Yu Jiaolong just listened quietly.After Liang Chao's father finished talking, she only said lightly: "Ah, that's how it is!" Then she turned the conversation around and asked curiously: "Mr. Liang, what about the mysterious lame old man?" Let’s talk about it and listen.” Liang Chaofu: "I was testing Chinese characters and selling divination in the city that day, and suddenly a lame old man came to me and begged for divination. It is common to ask for divination, but he is different from others. Second, I didn’t ask about my own luck, but I only asked about Xiao Guerrilla’s gains and losses. I was both surprised and amazed at the time, so I asked him why Xiao Guerrilla sent troops. He didn’t mind saying that it was to hunt down Ban Tianyun. I secretly thought to myself Surprised, he calculated the time of day and time when he would send troops, and he also told the truth frankly, and said that he had just arrived from the Changji barracks, and the date and time were also reliable. I immediately made up a few random sentences to deal with it. He immediately informed Harimu of the news." Yu Jiaolong interjected: "Halimu sent someone to report to Luo Xiaohu again, right?" Liang Chao's father couldn't help being shocked: "You already know it?!" Yu Jiaolong didn't answer, but suddenly asked again: "Has Xianggu been to Wusu half a month ago?" Liang Chao's father: "I have been there, under the guise of buying medicine, it is actually to visit you and that princess." Yu Jiaolong: "Who killed those two patrolmen who followed her into the Xicheng alley?" Liang Chao's father opened his eyes wide, and exclaimed unconsciously: "You know everything, it's really unpredictable!" Yu Jiaolong didn't answer, and asked again: "But Halimu did it?" Father Liang Chao nodded, and said: "Harry Mu didn't intend to kill them, he just stepped forward to meet Xianggu, but he was recognized by the two of them, and Harry Mubo had another branch, so he took the initiative to kill." At this moment, Harim also came back to the forest.He walked up to Yu Jiaolong energetically, and said enthusiastically but a little bit shyly: "Sister, we finally have you here. Xianggu misses you every day, and even goes to the temple to burn incense and pray for you." Miles!" After finishing speaking, he grinned innocently. Yu Jiaolong was also moved by his sincerity and kindness.I thought: This looks like a horse thief! Harimu said eagerly again: "Sister, you can stay at Xianggu's place temporarily, and when Brother Luo sets up the camp, he will come to welcome you." When Yu Jiaolong heard Harimu repeatedly calling her sister, she felt kind but also uncomfortable. She avoided his topic and asked, "How is Xianggu? I often miss her too." Harimu: "Everything is satisfactory. She gave birth to a daughter the day before yesterday, and we have already settled her in a reliable family." Yu Jiaolong: "Then who else is in Uncle Li's family? Does he know the details of Xianggu's time in the capital?" Harimu was surprised: "How does my sister know that she lives in Uncle Li's house?" Yu Jiaolong: "I met Amir in the desert, he told me." Harimu: "You must have seen Brother Luo too?!" Yu Jiaolong: "I also met your sister Damei and your grandfather Budawang." Harimu suddenly heard from Yu Jiaolong that so many relatives he missed day and night, blushed with joy.There are too many things he wants to know.For a while, I didn't know where to ask, and I stuttered when I spoke. Yu Jiaolong couldn't help feeling sorry for the young horse thief who seemed to be underage, and simply told him, "Your sister encountered an annoying thing a few days ago: Bage took a fancy to her, and brought dozens of riding warriors Wanting to marry her away by force, I got angry and fought with them. Your brother Luo rushed out halfway, killed Bagh, and took your sister to another place; your grandfather also led those The herdsmen made the transition safely; after receiving Emil's report, you brother Luo immediately threw himself into Ulungu Lake." Harimu heard that Bagh had been killed by Banluo Xiaohu, and couldn't help applauding. After a burst of joy, he suddenly asked doubtfully, "Why didn't my sister go to Ulungu Lake too?" Yu Jiaolong: "Why should I go? You and Brother Luo and I really have a hard time going the same way." Harimu felt that the words were not speculative, so he fell silent. Liang Chaofu said from the side: "Western Xinjiang has not been conquered by the king, powerful and powerful are everywhere, and wolves are everywhere. How can you gain a foothold as a lonely woman?" Yu Jiaolong was pondering, and Hali Mu hurriedly interjected: "Uncle Liang is very right. My sister has worked hard all the way, and she has a child by her side. Let's go to Uncle Li's house to stay with Xianggu, and then we can discuss it." Yu Jiaolong: "How far is Uncle Li's house from here, and what's the situation there?" Liang Chaofu: "It's only five miles away from here, and it's a village inhabited by exiles. Those exiles are deeply kind to Luo Xiaohu, and they will give their lives for him. Go there, you can be safe." Yu Jiaolong frowned slightly, and an idea flashed in her mind, to let those exiles see her as a thief, she felt an unbearable humiliation.The exiles in her heart are all traitors and criminals who have been exiled from the pass to the army, or desperadoes who have been dispatched here. They are fierce and stupid, and they know no shame and etiquette. How can I be with them? !What's more, the miscellaneous places are prone to troubles, if they see through the secrets, they will regret it.Yu Jiaolong pondered for a moment, then said: "I don't want to live with others, and I don't need anyone to protect me; since I dare to come from far away alone, I have my own place, so I don't need you to worry about it." Harimu was in a hurry: "Sister, you can't do this! Big brother Luo led more than a hundred brothers, and it is still difficult to gain a foothold. Although you are skilled in swords and horses, after all, you are riding alone. Where can you go!" Yu Jiaolong smiled, and suddenly restrained his face and said: "I was determined to go alone and show you, so that you can understand Brother Luo and convince Udunai. You pay tribute to Xianggu for me. She is good at taking care of herself, and when I find a place to stay, I will come to pick her up and reunite." After she finished speaking, she stood up and prepared to leave, no matter how hard Harimu and Liang Chaofu tried to persuade her to stay, Yu Jiaolong just didn't listen.Harimu had no choice but to send her out of the woods. Before parting, he reluctantly asked: "Where is my sister going?" Yu Jiaolong: "Wherever you can live in peace, you will go there." After saying that, he swung his whip, and there was a series of hoof marks on the ancient road, and there was a ringing of bells in the forest... Jade Jiaolong walks desolately, across the desert, over the barren hills, walking all the way, the more people are sparse, the more he walks, the more desolate he feels. She walked for two days until noon on the third day, when she rode her horse up a hill, a strange scene suddenly appeared in front of her eyes: under the hill was a green grassland, the grassland was connected with a lush forest, Through the forest tops, you can see a bay of lake water. The lake water is blue and clear, as clean as a precious mirror. It reflects the nearby woods and opposite green hills in the water, showing a pleasant tranquility.Yu Jiaolong knew that this was Lake Aibi she was going to flee to.Unconsciously, she was refreshed, and hurriedly raised her eyes to look around again, and suddenly saw a village and some tents that looked like chess pieces at the northern end of the grassland, far away from the valley. place.She had already thought about what was going to happen here, and she had a plan in her mind. She only breathed a sigh of relief, straightened her hair, and then laid off her horse, crossed the grass, passed through the woods, and galloped straight to the lake.She came to the lake to dismount, let the horses and camels graze freely, sat down in a comfortable place, drank a few cups of clear lake water, washed off the dust and dust on her face, and passed milk in a snow bottle. Slowly close your eyes, let yourself get a moment of peace and rest from the tiredness and mental fatigue of many days. Yu Jiaolong was in a daze when she suddenly heard the sound of water and laughter in the distance. She quickly opened her eyes and saw a few women washing clothes by the lake at the foot of the mountain in front of her, and two men drinking horses were surprised walked towards her along the edge of the lake.Yu Jiaolong hurriedly sat up straight, watching the two boys approaching, saw the boy walking in front, about twelve or thirteen years old, holding a riding whip in his hand, and a short knife on his waist; The one in the back didn't look ten years old, and she was also bouncing around when she walked. The two boys stood up ten steps away from her, with two pairs of surprised eyes flashing, they kept walking around her. He went, and moved his eyes to the big black horse and the two-humped camel from time to time. The boy standing in front with a short knife suddenly found the sword hanging beside the big black saddle, and immediately showed a look of vigilance on his face. , asked: "Where are you from?" Yu Jiaolong: "Mongolia." The kid with the knife was stunned, glanced at the camel again, and asked doubtfully, "What are you doing here?" Yu Jiaolong looked at him and asked back, "What's your name?" The boy with the knife said: "My name is A Lun." Pointing to the boy next to him, he said, "His name is Qingwu." Yu Jiaolong asked again: "Do you have a guy named Laqin here?" Allen immediately smiled: "Are you looking for Uncle Lachin?!" Yu Jiaolong nodded. Qingwu rushed forward and said timidly, "Uncle Lachin has gone out, and he won't be back until a few days later." At this time, several women who were washing clothes over there also came over.They all stared at Yu Jiaolong with envious expressions in their eyes.They were very surprised when they heard that this strange and beautiful woman from afar had come to look for Lachin. Among them, a chubby woman looked at her and asked, "What do you want to do with Lachin?" Yu Jiaolong: "I didn't look for him, he looked for me, and he sent someone to invite me." Another younger woman, with a look of astonishment on her face, hurriedly asked, "Who are you? Where are you from?" Yu Jiaolong: "I come from Hazhu. People there call me Tuoling Princess." The women were taken aback, and each of them stood in awe, and their expressions immediately became awkward and respectful.The young woman hurriedly looked around the forest, as if searching for something, she couldn't help asking in surprise, "You didn't bring anyone?? Yu Jiaolong: "There were servants who came here with me, but I met thieves in the desert, and they were all killed." The young woman's face turned pale, her lips trembled, and she made a hoarse voice, and asked hurriedly, "Where is Kuru, how is he?! He is the one sent to pick you up!" Seeing her like that, Yu Jiaolong immediately understood in her heart, knowing that the Kuru she asked must be her relatives, Yu Jiaolong couldn't help feeling heavy, she buried her head sadly, and said in a low voice: "Kuru also died in the desert." The young woman uttered an exclamation, and immediately burst into tears of grief. Allen held the handle of the knife tightly with his hands, his face was full of bruises, and his eyes gleamed with hatred. He stepped forward to support the young woman, and said, "Sister-in-law is holding back her grief for now, and she will cry when she returns home. This is not the place." After speaking, he supported her and left the crowd. The few remaining women surrounded Yujiaolong together, walked out of the woods, and walked towards the village at the other end of the grassland. Along the way, Yu Jiaolong inquired about the situation here from several women: there were more than 30 families living here, about 160 to 70 people, men, women and children, all of whom came here in exile from far away.Among them, the Mongols are the most, and there are also a small number of Hui and Han people. Some of these people are forced by the tyranny of the government, some are forced to be exploited by the landlords, some are to avoid hatred, and some to escape suffering. Trek long distances.After going through all kinds of bitterness and torture, I settled down here.Therefore, each other can be related to each other and live in harmony. Fortunately, here is a remote place with few people, and those Burkes are out of reach, so they don't come to ask, but make this remote place.Temporarily become a peaceful paradise.It's just that recently a group of horse thieves suddenly appeared in the vicinity, so some Burkes and Bayi were also attracted, leading a group of soldiers to break into the village several times. They took away many cattle and sheep in the village, making this paradise, which can be called a paradise, start to turmoil again. Yu Jiaolong also learned from the mouths of those women: the young woman just now was called Tai Nu, and she was Kuru's wife; A Lun, who was wearing the sword, was Kuru's brother.Kuru is a hunter, and he relies on the furs he obtained from hunting to sell to Wusu to support his wife and younger brother. Surrounded by several women, Yu Jiaolong talked and walked, and came to the village where they live together.It's called a village, but it's actually just a place on the edge of the meadow near the valley. A large fence is surrounded by wooden piles, and houses of different sizes and shapes are built inside the fence.It's just that the wooden stakes used for the fence are all thick tree trunks, and they are also very solidly built. It looks like a camp, but it also looks majestic.Looking at the row of gates, Yu Jiaolong couldn't help smiling appreciatively.A thought suddenly came to her mind: This really looks like a cottage!Luo Xiaohu has been rampant in the western border for many years, but he has yet to find such a foothold! Yu Jiaolong also came to the gate, and the people inside had received Qingwu's flying report and came out of the gate.When some older Mongolians saw Yu Jiaolong, they knelt down and called them princesses, and some of them couldn't help but shed tears. Yu Jiaolong walked up to them with a graceful demeanor and a solemn expression, and invited them to stand up one by one, and said to them: "Thank you for your kindness, you have accepted me to live here, I will treat you as a family member, and treat you with me We share sorrows and joys, share weal and woe.” Everyone saw the princess's gentle speech, dignified demeanor and beautiful appearance. They all thought she was a natural nobleman, and they all secretly admired her. Immediately, several women flocked to her, vying to welcome her to live in their own homes.Yu Jiaolong politely declined all of them.When everyone was in trouble for her place of residence, she said calmly and sincerely: "I want to be a guest at Tainu's house, and I would like to live with her." Immediately, there was a whisper among the women. They all realized her intentions and felt her kindness, and they also added a bit of respect and love to her. Yu Jiaolong's wish is simply the will in the hearts of everyone, everyone has to obey, and no one can have the slightest objection.So, everyone surrounded her and walked to Tainu's house. Tainu's house is located in the deepest part of the village. It is a row of three huts made of chaotic stones, located on a slope next to the valley.Standing in front of the door, one can overlook the entire village and the grassland in front of the village; behind it is a forest, directly reaching the foot of the mountain, which may seem remote to others, but to Yujiaolong, she loves its quietness, which she feels is a gift from God . The Taiwanese slave who was mourning and crying in the house heard the news that the princess had arrived, and hurriedly endured grief to welcome him out.Yu Jiaolong stepped forward and grabbed her, and said cordially and sincerely: "I come to live with you, and we will be a family from now on. I will decide everything for you, and I will treat you as a relative, and you will also Don't be too sad." Tai Nu burst into tears, choked up and said, "And my brother Alun?" Yu Jiaolong: "Of course we live together, everything is the same as before." Tai Nu cried even more sadly.The people who accompanied Yu Jiaolong also shed tears uncontrollably. Yu Jiaolong stayed at Tainu's house.The quiet environment, the simple folks, and the beautiful scenery made her temporarily forget the bitterness and humiliation she suffered in the past, and she also temporarily put aside her longing for her father, nostalgia for her lost son, and nostalgia for Luo Xiaohu.Her overworked body and mind needed peace and rest. After only a few days of rest, Yu Jiaolong became radiant again, showing a heroic appearance. Over the past few days, under the consolation of Yu Jiaolong, Tai Nu has gradually alleviated her grief, helping Yu Jiaolong to take care of Xue Ping from time to time, and gradually loving Xue Ping in every possible way. She even only wants Xue Ping to hug her. Then I feel sad and lost, and my troubles disappear. Alan loves horses, and he is absolutely envious of the extraordinary beauty of the princess, the big black horse.He often stood beside the big black horse in a daze, and always had a question in his mind: "How can such a beautiful and quiet princess control such a violent horse! But he clearly saw that the big black horse was in front of the princess. In front of her is such a bowing head and a close ear, such a tame and docile! It is precisely because of this that this rebellious boy is full of respect for the princess.One morning, A Lun added fodder to the big black horse and was fascinated by watching it again, when Yu Jiaolong came.He looked at Yu Jiaolong, then at the horse, and asked: "Princess, how can you subdue such a fierce horse?" Yu Jiaolong smiled and said, "I have subdued even stronger horses before." Alan's puzzled eyes were full of respect. Yu Jiaolong: "Do you want to have a good horse?" Allen: "I want it, I want it so much! But I don't have the money to buy it." Yu Jiaolong: "I'll give you one. You choose it yourself. As long as you can subdue it, it doesn't matter how expensive it is." Allen was overjoyed.Before long, he really had a fine horse.From then on, he not only respected the princess, but for her, he even risked his life. The Bactrian camel, which is full of bells, is led by Alan to graze next to the house every morning, allowing it to gnaw the green grass on the ground freely.That burst of crisp bells rippling in the air and scattered to the surrounding fields, adding to the tranquility of this wilderness. Gradually, Wang Jiaolong also fell in love with the ringtone. She felt refreshed and free from the melodious ringtone. One day near noon, Allen came to report, "Uncle Lachin has returned to the village and is coming to see the princess." After hearing this, Yu Jiaolong hurriedly told Allen: "When Laqin comes, you should wait in front of the steps." After speaking, she went into the room to change clothes. Rachin stood in front of the steps as ordered, and couldn't help walking up and down there because of his anxiety. After a while, Yu Jiaolong stepped out of the door with full makeup and stood there motionless.I saw that her eyes were like autumn water, covered with cold smoke, her face was like a hibiscus, slightly stained with frost and dew; she was neither stunned nor smiling, and she had a special dignity; she was dignified and elegant, with a natural posture.Laqin stood down the steps, staring up at her blankly, his eyes were first surprised, then surprised, then doubted, and then surprised again, Yizhi became respectful and full of piety. Yu Jiaolong stared at Laqin for a moment, then asked, "Are you Laqin?" Rachin quickly replied: "Yes." Yu Jiaolong also stopped talking, and slowly took out the small wooden box containing the ring from his bosom, and handed it to him. Lachin hurriedly took the wooden box with both hands, opened it, and saw a pair of identical gemstone rings side by side in the box.He closed the wooden box, held the box over his head with both hands, and raised his head to pray to the sky: "Thank you Buddha, the princess has indeed arrived here safely!" Yu Jiaolong had sensed the implication from his words, and asked slowly: "You probably already know about my being robbed in the desert!" Rachin: "I went to the desert to meet the princess, and accidentally found eight dead bodies; although they had been buried in the sky, I still recognized them as my brothers from the wreckage and rags, but I didn't see the princess, so I began to wonder. It was robbed by someone, and I went to search for it. When I arrived in Wusu, I heard that the whole city was arguing about the princess. The princess is fine." Yu Jiaolong: "What did Wusu tell me?" Laqin: "It is said that the princess learned the magic of immortality, and punished those rude patrolmen at the west city pass." Yu Jiaolong smiled: "You don't want to listen to those nonsense! If I really have immortal skills, how could I be robbed in the desert, and how could my eight followers be killed! I only escaped by luck. She looked at Raqin and saw that there was a puzzled look in his eyes, and said, "However, I also learned some chopping and punching skills in Hazhu, so I can defend myself in emergencies." Then Lachin said in relief: "So that's the case. It's strange that the lame old man's words are true, and he even boasted about the princess, so he must have a unique skill." Yu Jiaolong was startled secretly, and asked, "How did you meet that lame old man? What else did he say?" Rachin: "That day I heard people's rumors about the princess, and I was full of suspicion. A lame old man came to me suddenly, saying that he used to be a servant in the capital, and said that he had seen me in front of the Yufu gate, talking to each other. A few words, and then become familiar. I told him about my visit to the princess, talked about the rumors in the city, and expressed my doubts.The old man said that he had seen the princess in the inn, and that he also saw it with his own eyes when the princess punished the guards angrily, so he asserted that it must be the princess I was looking for.I said that I had never heard of the princess practicing martial arts, but the lame old man said that the princess is not only capable of martial arts, but also has unique skills.Seeing that I was still in doubt, he said: "What's so strange about this? The princess is proficient in riding and has also learned archery."When he mentioned the eldest princess, I suddenly understood, listened to his advice, and rushed back to have a look. “玉娇龙凝立不动，静静地听着。沈班头在她心里时隐时现，有时如隐立云端的护法尊神，有时似暗伏潭边的伺人魑魅，有时又像荡游暗隅的摄魄幽灵。尽管他潜伏乌苏的所行所为，明知其处心积虑都是为着自己，但她一想到他，就不由想到蛇豸，心里顿感厌恶万分。 玉娇龙不愿再提起沈班头之事，忙把话题转开，向拉钦问起王妃近况。他从拉钦口里得知：关于骆驼公主的下落，王妃原是托德秀峰打听得来。王爷为防有人借此挑起衅端，便佯作不知，只由王妃暗遣拉钦回疆，派人去哈珠将公主迎至艾比湖来，为公主谋个安身之地，免遭仇杀，也就尽了心意。 玉娇龙已从拉钦口里将一切内情探悉清楚，又见拉钦毫未看出破绽，这才放下心宋，和他商量长注久安之计。拉钦对玉娇龙既然深信不疑，已把她视为自己苦苦寻访多年的驼铃公主，对她当然就只能言听计从了。 玉娇龙见谋事已成，大计已定，不禁暗暗自得，满怀高兴。 她随即拿出一部分随身所带的银两，嘱拉钦拿去分赏众人，以便他们谋个好的生路。 另又取出大部金银和一些珍贵的珠饰，交给拉钦，要他广置牛群马匹，她将使这荒僻的村落，富甲西疆各部。 在玉娇龙的运筹课督下，不过一年光景，这艾比湖的一角荒村，果然兴旺起来：到处牛羊成群，举目驼肥马壮；玉娇龙原和台奴同住的那排小屋，已建成重堂大院，墙固门深，居高临下，更显得别有一番气概。 玉娇龙平时深居简出，除逗逗雪瓶，教她呀呀学语外，便常常支颐独坐，凝神沉思。 好多个深夜，她吹熄了灯，久久站立窗前，泪水虽已湿透了她的衣衫，她却从不让自己发出半点声息。 台奴也常常发现她的双眼突然变得红肿，却从未见过她脸上流有泪痕。 玉娇龙在这荒村里所享有的尊荣，远远赛过她当年住过的帅府侯门，她在这里是唯我独尊，人们对她是唯命是听。她在这里一百多人的心中，是尊贵贤慈的公主，是美丽超凡的仙女，是温柔宽厚的主人。孩子们把她比为星星月亮，妇女们把她比为凤鸟虹霓，男人们把她比为幽兰野菊；偏是拉钦比得独特，把她比做艾比湖水。他说：公主的情性像湖水那样清澄，却又深不见底，像湖水那样轻柔，却又令人生畏。 拉钦这话被阿伦听得，又由阿伦传到玉娇龙耳里。她只笑了笑，毫未露出半点愠意。 一天，玉娇龙正在院里闷坐，阿伦骑着大黑马遛放回来，连鞍都未下就跑到玉娇龙面前，急匆匆没头没脑地问道：“公主，你这大黑马是哪来的？” 玉娇龙不觉一怔，心也猛然剧跳起来。她对着阿伦注视片刻，才徐徐问道：“怎么！ 是谁问起你来？ " 阿伦还是语无伦次地说道：“一个大哥，说他认得这马，说决不是公主的坐骑，还逼着要我说出这马的来历。” 玉娇龙不觉站起身来，忙问道：“那人是个什么模样？” 阿伦：“长得很俊，身板壮得吓人。” 玉娇龙不禁在心里低低呼了声，“啊，是小虎？”木然站在那儿，也辨不出是惊是喜。
