Chapter 9 Chapter 8 The rule of the kingdom of heaven is never to tell lies

Thinking of this, Pei Siqing felt an inexplicable excitement. Although the heroine of the kingdom of heaven is the lord of a country, because she is a woman, Pei Siqing has never seen an unconquerable woman in his life, especially in a place where there are very few men. He, an extremely strong One can imagine what kind of status a man will have. Of course, Pei Siqing could also have expected that this country with many women, many difficulties, and few people could not be a big country. Duozhong was just a castle, relying on the desert as a barrier to prevent it from being conquered by other tribes. Not very well known.

But a country is a country after all, if he is the lord of a country, it is of course very different from the female lead of the country, maybe as the lord of a country, when he returns to Chang'an, even the emperor of the Tang Dynasty will Treat each other with courtesy. (When the cursive script is translated to this point, the term "Emperor of the Tang Dynasty" appears, which shows that the story happened in the Tang Dynasty. But in which year, I don't know.) Pei Siqing felt an inexplicable excitement. The dwarf was very good at distinguishing colors by appearance. Although Pei Siqing couldn't move his whole body, his eyes and expression showed his excitement. The dwarf nodded: "Yes, Mr. Pei, you will be The hostess' husband."

Of course Pei Siqing would not express any objection, because he was very happy to have such an adventure again after a narrow escape. It was not too different from reaching the sky in one step. It made him feel that he was extremely lucky, and he must have been in this life, or in the previous life. A lot of good things have been done, so there will be such a result. He smiled naturally, and the dwarf joined in and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Pei, but there are still a few things that must be done." Pei Siqing was in a good mood, so his answer was very relaxed: "I can't move now, what can I do?"

The dwarf said: "You don't have to do it, as long as you say it..." Pei Siqing was a little confused, at this moment, a group of eight people wearing white robes and covering their faces with white cloth came in.Although they couldn't see their faces clearly, judging from their bodies, these eight were all women. The eight people in this group held a roll of sheepskin in their right hands, and a square box in their left hand. They sat cross-legged when they reached the side of the jade trough, spread out the sheepskin, and opened the box. Pei Siqing was just when they came in.Since he was lying naked in the jade trough, even though the water in the trough was quite dark, he was still very embarrassed. He was relieved until the eight women sat down—the jade trough was quite high. , people sitting on the ground, can not see him.

He squinted and saw that after the box was opened, half of the box was covered with cinnabar mud, and the other half contained a few very special-looking pens. Pei Siqing didn't know what they were going to do, but the leading woman spoke, her voice was high and sharp, with a kind of incomparable majesty, after hearing this, a big man like Pei Siqing couldn't help but feel a sudden shock in his heart. The woman said: "Mistress, please tell me the origin of your dagger first." Pei Siqing was taken aback for a moment, but didn't answer right away. The woman raised her voice again, making it even more uncomfortable to hear: "One of the rules of the kingdom of heaven is that you must never tell a lie!"

Pei Siqing was stunned for a moment, and then, he really wanted to laugh out loud—absolutely don't lie!Such a rule sounds very authoritative, but in fact, it is useless at all. If you tell a lie, where can you go to seek proof.Moreover, it is impossible for people not to lie. However, of course Pei Siqing didn't laugh out loud, instead showing a very sincere expression. The Chinese spoken by the woman was very blunt, but she also had a Chang'an accent.At this time, the dwarf said from the side: "I teach all the people who can speak Chinese here. Uncle Pei, I advise you to abide by the rules of the kingdom of heaven. Really, it's better not to lie."

Pei Siqing frowned, expressing his impatience, the dwarf didn't say anything, Pei Siqing said: "It was given by a... woman." The woman snorted, "What is this? You have to explain it in detail, without missing a single bit." Pei Siqing was very angry and wanted to scold the other party.But first of all, he couldn't move at that time, and if someone turned his back on him, he had no room to resist at all.Second, the temptation to become the lord of a country is very strong-although in fact he will only become the "husband of the lord of a country", but he almost doesn't even have to think about it, he regards himself as the lord of a country.

Three things, the way he got the dagger often appeared in his memory, and it was an experience that he was very proud of, so he was also willing to tell others. With these three reasons, even though the woman's tone was not very respectful, he still told the story in detail. From the very beginning of what he said, one of the eight women started writing, quickly dipped the pen in cinnabar, and wrote on the sheepskin.Pei Siqing glanced sideways, and he didn't recognize any of those curvy characters. When a woman filled a piece of sheepskin, another one continued to write on it.Although he couldn't read, he could also know that those women were recording what he said.

Pei Siqing didn't know how long he had been talking, but it probably took at least one day and one night—it was exactly as the dwarf said, he didn't know how the time passed, he was immersed in the green water of the jade trough, soaking the ground, It was very comfortable, and every once in a while, the dwarf fed him a few sips of the flowery wine, and he didn't feel hungry. He really spoke in great detail, but shortly after the narration began, there was a rather strange phenomenon. For the first few times, he thought it was accidental, but the more times, it made him frightened. , no longer dare to have any reservations.

The strange phenomenon is that whenever he mentions something he doesn’t want to say, and wants to skip it, those eight women will definitely have unusual actions—the most common is that the woman who is recording will suddenly stop. When the pen was not writing, the rest of the people stood up and looked down at him. Although those women covered their faces, their eyes were so sharp that no one dared to stare at them. Moreover, Pei Siqing was lying naked on his back, and he couldn't move at all. Under such circumstances, the power of Chang'an Dahao was gone, so he had no choice but to tell the story of how he wanted to skip it.

In the end, he was completely astonished, and he didn't understand how those eight women would know where his narration was not true! The first sentence that Pei Siqing began to narrate was still the same sentence: "This dagger was given to me by a woman. This woman has a strange name, Jin Yue. I don't know where she is from. Of course she is not from Middle Earth. She has She has honey-colored hair, is as tall as me, and when she stands up, with a pair of legs, she is taller than a middle-earth woman, with big eyes and a high nose, and a tangy fragrance all over her body, she is the only beauty I have ever seen in my life." He used such a beginning to describe his experience, which was naturally the reason why he was so impressed by this woman. Indeed it is. That was Pei Siqing's first time leading a camel caravan to the west. The first time, it was always a new and exciting event. Pei Siqing was thoughtful and well-prepared. The guides were all the most experienced—including the old guide who died in the desert at the end. In addition, it can also be seen from this that in many cases, experience is really not very useful. All the way to the west, everything was safe and sound, there are often robbers in the desert, there are robbers of all ethnic groups, so Pei Siqing's camel caravan included a dozen or so martial arts masters. On the seventeenth day westward, shortly after entering the desert, he encountered a group of robbers led by a Hun. The camel, like a whirlwind, was involved in the camel team. With the scimitar in his hand, he cut off seven camel frames at once. The precious cargo on the camel's back fell on the desert, and his men immediately rode and scraped. When they arrived, they waved a knife in one hand and held a scratching pole in the other—a long pole with an iron hook on one end, and hooked it to the side of the fallen cargo. Camel teams employ bodyguards, and they seldom get lost because they move so fast. This team of bandits led by the Xiongnu bandits is known as the "whirlwind". They didn't just snatch the goods once. The camel caravan of eighty camels, snatching them all, is hard to guard against. When Pei Siqing set off, he already knew that there was such a gang of bandits, so he prepared for himself a very fast camel, one in a thousand.As soon as the Xiongnu bandits appeared and swept past, Pei Siqing didn't start - and it was really too late to do so. When seven or eight packages of goods on the camel racks rolled down onto the sand, Pei Siqing let out a long howl and chased after the Hun bandit. At that time, the camel that the Hun bandit was riding was already 80 meters away, and the camel let go. With four hooves, the rolled up yellow dust is rolling, just like a yellow dragon rolling on the ground. But Pei Siqing did catch up, he urged the camel vigorously, shouting loudly. As soon as he started to move, the camel team immediately reacted and formed a circle to prevent the Huns' men from approaching. The dozen or so martial arts masters also held their weapons and stood at the back. A dozen different soldiers Under the sunlight, the blade shone brightly, its aura already frightening. There were also nearly twenty members of the bandit team, and the whirlwind seemed to be swept in. When they saw such a battle, they were already stunned.The reason that made them rein in the twisting rope was that they saw a scene they had never seen before: two galloping camels brought up two streams of yellow sand on the desert, rolling forward! The camel in front is their leader, the robbers naturally know it, but who is the rider of the other one?Who has the guts to chase the Whirlwind Bandit in the desert? As soon as the bandit team reined in the camel, they lost the will to sprint, and when they were in doubt, the dozen or so martial arts masters.With a shout, they charged straight up, the bandits fought in a panic, and suffered a loss as soon as they came up, and a few were injured, blood spurted out, green blood and yellow sand, once the vigor was lost, the sign of defeat has been achieved, where is it? He also seemed to be grabbing something, and quickly retreated from the original path, and those martial arts masters did not chase after him. The bandits withdrew for more than a mile, and then stopped moving. They could see everything in the desert without any barriers.After the camel team saw the robbers stop, they, like some people in the camel team, also looked at the Xiongnu robber and Pei Siqing who were driving farther and farther. Pei Siqing kept "biting" behind the Xiongnu robbers, and the distance gradually approached. After driving five or six miles, the distance was only ten feet away! Pei Siqing yelled loudly, and the Hun bandit turned his head again and again—once he turned his head, he couldn't move forward, because he saw his bandits and the camel team all looking at them. As a big thief, if under such circumstances, he just runs blindly, how can he be the leader of the gang in the future? Therefore, the Xiongnu bandit ran sideways, seeing the situation, Pei Siqing also slowed down, the Xiongnu bandit made a circle in the desert, and rushed towards Pei Siqing head-on. Pei Siqing flicked the reins, and went up to him. The Xiongnu bandit held a gleaming scimitar, and Pei Siqing used a ghost-headed knife with a curved back and a thin blade. The blade was blue, heavy and sharp. The two camels quickly met head-on, and when the two camels raised their necks and were about to bump into each other, the knives of the Xiongnu robber and Pei Siqing had already clashed with each other. After the Xiongnu bandit slashed out with a single knife, he didn't know if there was anything else to kill, because Pei Siqing's movements were too fast, and as soon as the swords clashed, Pei Siqing's body had already rolled over from the camel. In mid-air, the second knife had already been cut with a backhand. The Hun bandit probably didn't even see where the knife was coming from, the Ghost Head Knife had already hit him in the back - when Pei Siqing slashed that knife with his backhand, his back was facing the Hun bandit, from the feeling, he knew that he had succeeded, He continued to roll forward, and after landing, he rolled on the ground and jumped up. When he stood still, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment. It turned out that at that moment, the Hun bandit who had been stabbed by him fell on the camel with his arms tightly around the camel's neck. Many feet away. It seems that after the Xiongnu robber was stabbed, he immediately leaned forward and hugged the camel's neck. The camel immediately galloped forward and escaped with the Xiongnu robber on its back. The sun was dazzling, and Pei Siqing couldn't see clearly how the Hun thief was injured for a while - he must have been injured, but it would be a pity if he was injured and escaped, if it could be done for the merchants in the desert , That was a great feat that became famous in Xijiang. So Pei Siqing jumped up and landed on the camel's back. The side of the blade hit the camel's body. The camel rushed forward, rolling the yellow sand, chasing the Hun bandit and kept chasing it. This chase was even quicker, the bandits clearly saw that the leader was injured, they uttered a cry, and backed away on the way back and forth. It seemed that they had no loyalty and no longer cared about their leader. The behavior of the bandits has certain rules: when they are in a strong position, they are extremely fierce, but when they are in a disadvantaged position, they will definitely run away with their heads in their hands. It was Pei Siqing's first time to set foot in the desert. The so-called newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. He didn't know that the desert was full of death traps, so he chased after him without thinking. Later, when he became familiar with the desert, he still couldn't help but feel a chill when he recalled his brave act. Looking forward, the Hun bandit didn't move on the camel, and he didn't ride it. Naturally, Pei Siqing gradually chased him up. At this moment, a cliff suddenly appeared in front of him, like a screen, blocking the way, and he looked to both sides. , couldn't see the end of the cliff, and the camels in front were still galloping forward, until Pei Siqing saw that the Hun bandit even rode with a man, from a crack in the mountain that could only be seen close by. squeezed in. Pei Siqing stopped the camel when he reached the crevice. The crevice was only a few feet wide, only enough for a camel to enter. The situation inside the seam. Pei Siqing couldn't help hesitating, this mountain crevice is so hidden, it seems to be the secret lair of the Xiongnu robbers, even other bandits may not know, is he chasing after him?Is there an ambush inside? He remembered the words "The poor should not chase after him", and decided not to chase into the crevice. He reined in the rein and stopped outside the crevice for a moment. It was as if there were thousands of troops fighting out, so he didn't dare to stay for a long time, so he turned back and galloped back to the camel caravan. (Pei Siqing's experience was naturally told to the dwarf and the eight white-clothed women when he was soaking in the bathtub.) (When the eight women were listening to Pei Siqing's story, they seldom asked questions and just took notes. But when he said this, a woman in white asked, "Do you remember the correct location of this cliff?") (Pei Siqing remembered that he told the location of the cliff, but the woman in white didn't ask further.) Before Pei Siqing arrived at the place where the camel caravan met the robbers, several people came up to greet him. Pei Siqing met them and explained the situation, but everyone disapproved of him going in. Anyway, this battle has already gained the upper hand. The Xiongnu robber Regardless of whether his injury was mild or severe, he didn't dare to make trouble again. That night, they camped in the desert. Pei Siqing's camp was naturally extravagant, and there was even a comfortable bamboo couch for him to lie on. After riding a camel for a day, even a tough man would feel tired. Pei Siqing drank After drinking some wine, the biggest regret he felt was not having a woman by his side, which made him a little restless, so he took another sip of wine. Then, when he was about to close his eyes, he froze suddenly. The tent was opened, and a woman walked in with her head bowed. The first thing he saw was a long curly hair that was as shiny as honey. Pei Siqing met many orchids from the West in Chang'an, and knew that Western women's hair can be of any color, even fiery red.That beautiful hair didn't shock him, what surprised him was that he was longing for a woman, but a woman actually entered his camp, which made him wonder if what he saw was not fact. So, he just stared at the woman without making a sound. The woman came in with her head down, straightened up as soon as she came in, she was extremely tall - at least Pei Siqing had never seen such a tall woman in his life, and there were often women from the West in the four courtyards of Chang'an There are also tall prostitutes, but they are not as good as the one in front of me. This woman seemed to be very young, with big eyes and a high nose. As soon as she came in, a tangy fragrance was entangled in the screen. Her clothes are also very strange, in fact they are not considered clothes, but just a piece of cloth covering her body, with a pair of long and slender thighs, almost half of them exposed. Pei Siqing didn't know what happened at all, he took another sip of wine, but saw the woman came to the bamboo couch, knelt down, her big eyes flickered, she fixed Pei Siqing's gaze. Pei Siqing only felt that under her gaze, his whole body seemed to have fallen into a furnace. There was a "boom" sound, which started from his brain and spread throughout his body. He didn't even care whether this woman was a human or a demon, a spirit or a monster. As soon as he leaned back, he pulled the woman and rolled down on the bamboo couch together, pressing down on the bamboo couch of Concubine Xiang, and it rattled. However, at that moment, Pei Siqing felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and his whole body felt cold. The woman was also held in his arms and pressed under him, Pei Siqing could already feel that her body was so soft and full of elasticity, it would definitely bring great joy. But all of these were no match for the fear brought about by the gleaming dagger in front of him. Pei Siqing didn't even know when she made the move, but in a flash, the tip of the dagger was already on the center of his eyebrows.Although it is difficult to see the true face of this dagger at such a close distance, he has a wealth of experience with weapons, and the chill and murderous aura emanating from the edge of the dagger makes him absolutely sure that the person holding the dagger does not have to With any force, the dagger can be completely inserted into his head. It was not very bright in the tent, but the flash of the dagger reflected the woman's face, you could even see the fine hair on her forehead, her eyes reflected the cold light on the dagger, it looked extremely weird.Pei Siqing didn't dare to move, and he didn't dare to open his mouth, because the woman had completely gained the upper hand, and he became a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.He was also sure that the woman was staring at him, with her sparkling eyes, staring at him without even blinking. Pei Siqing was facing death, but he was a martial artist after all, so he was still very calm. Although his body was cold, he didn't look frightened. He stared at the woman instead. I don't know how long it took, neither of them moved, the tip of the dagger was still pressed between Pei Siqing's eyebrows, and then, suddenly.The situation changed and the woman closed her eyes. Because the woman's eyes looked so bright under the reflection of the dagger's light, when she closed her eyes, Pei Siqing only felt that his eyes went dark.At that moment, Pei Siqing cried out in his heart: "It's over." He thought she was going to kill someone. But after a while, he suddenly felt a warm, fragrant air spraying on his face. He saw the woman let out a long breath, her hands dropped outwards, and the dagger in her hand fell to the ground. Pei Siqing escaped from death, the excitement in his heart was really indescribable, but instead of grabbing the dagger first, he took a deep breath and kissed the woman's lips fiercely. What happened next, Pei Siqing clearly remembered, but when he thought about it, he was like riding a cloud. He drank a lot of wine, and the woman drank a lot of wine, she drank strong wine like pouring water.She could speak Chinese and told him that her name was Jin Yue and she was the wife of a Hun bandit.He killed the Hun robbers, she wanted revenge, but she couldn't do it, so she had to surrender and became his woman instead.However, she belonged to the desert and could not go to Middle-earth with him.The dagger was snatched by the Huns during a robbery. It is said that it was used by the King of Persia. Pei Siqing couldn't put it down, so naturally he took it. This was a dreamlike adventure. During this trip, the woman named Jin Yue appeared in Pei Siqing's camp every night and left in the morning. No one knew about it. Pei Siqing asked her several times: "Where have you been during the day?" Jin Yue replied: "I belong to the desert. It's too easy to follow your camel caravan in the desert without being noticed!" Pei Siqing tried it. During the day, he was walking around, looking around all the time. There is actually no place to hide in the desert for thousands of miles, but he just couldn't see where the golden moon was. And every night, shortly after the tent was set up, she would sneak in like a ghost, avoiding everyone's eyes. She didn't bid farewell to Pei Siqing until the day before leaving the desert, and when Pei Siqing returned with a full load, on the return journey, it was the first night in the desert, and the golden moon broke through again! Therefore, this trip to the west, for Pei Siqing, was like entering a fairyland. On the day before the return trip to leave the desert, Jin Yue wanted to leave again, Pei Siqing tried his best to ask her to go to Chang'an together, but Jin Yue just refused. When it was almost dawn, the golden moon came back out of the tent and told Pei Siqing: "This dagger was said to belong to the king of Persia - it was given to the king of Persia by the real god. When the real god gave it, he said This dagger represents the power of the true god, and it is infinitely powerful. However, the Persian king was defeated by the Romans shortly after he got the dagger." (When we were translating this part of the record on the sheepskin, Bai Su suddenly asked: The Romans defeated Persia. What year did this happen?) (My answer: "The Romans and the Persians have been at war, winning and losing, countless times!") (Wen Baoyu quickly took down a historical book from the shelf, flipped through it, and said: "Persia was destroyed by the cannibals in AD 641, um, AD 627 In the first year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, Rome defeated Persia.") (Bai Su sighed deeply: "Probably in those years, alas, it's not too long, less than fourteen hundred years!") (One thousand and four hundred years is really not a long time, but from the Tang Dynasty to the present, I don’t know how many ups and downs I have experienced!) Before leaving, Jin Yue continued to talk about the dagger to Pei Siqing: "The king of Persia thought that the true god would not lie to him, and the dagger must have great power, but he didn't know how to use it, so he summoned many wise men to study it together. , but could not find any research, so the King of Persia sent a special envoy to send the dagger to Middle-earth to see if there were any intelligent people in Middle-earth who could understand the will of the true God. But the dagger failed to reach Middle-earth, It fell into the hands of the Xiongnu robbers." Jin Yue said goodbye to Yiyi: "This dagger must be a treasure, so it's best not to be seen by others." Pei Siqing was helpless, watching Jin Yue leave, the dagger naturally became his most precious object, no one would let him see it, not even Rou Niang had seen it. In the second year, Pei Siqing hurriedly prepared to go west for the second time, but after entering the desert, the golden moon did not appear again.Pei Siqing was naturally extremely disappointed - the golden moon became the most beautiful part in his memory. After Pei Siqing finished telling the story of how he got the dagger, another very strange thing happened, Pei Siqing remembered this incident in detail. In the cursive script on the sheepskin, Pei Siqing wrote many comments on the lingering relationship between him and Jin Yue, but most of these comments were "not suitable for children", so they were all omitted.
