Chapter 27 Fengguanxiapei, is the heart safe?(1/2)
Yun Chuan stayed up all night.
Thinking back to the snow lotus in Wei Xu's room, it seems that a few petals are missing from the flower. If you compare the petals picked by Yang Qingyun, you can tell. Huang Bei may have used this method to hide the truth, but it is no longer important.
, the most important thing now is to find the real century-old snow lotus.
Yunchuan took out a black pearl from her waist. This black pearl had a deep luster and was rare in the world. She had just discovered it accidentally under the carpet in Wei Xu's yurt. She took a closer look at Mingcheng's outfit. Although she later changed
Wear simple clothes, but one earring is clearly
The missing black pearl was most likely the one she dropped when she was alone with Wei Xu tonight. The story about Huayue that was overheard made Yunchuan feel depressed. If she hadn't heard it with her own ears, she wouldn't have been able to
I believe this is sister Mingcheng who grew up with her.
Mingcheng is the daughter of former Xiayi general Bai Heng, and grew up together with Shengze and Yunchuan. Although she is only three years older than them, Mingcheng is precocious by nature. At the age of 12, she followed her father Bai Heng to the battlefield and went on various missions.
The tribe gives orders and has long been able to stand alone in complex ethnic conflicts. In addition, she has a very charming appearance and is also famous on the grassland as an "Iron Lady" who will not be inferior to women.
During the time when they grew up together, Mingcheng was the big sister in Yunchuan's heart. She was sensible, generous and decent. Every time Mingcheng came back from a mission, he would always bring interesting things and novel stories to them; when he and Shengze
Mingcheng could always protect himself when there was a quarrel. But all of this suddenly changed after Bai Heng's rebellion a year ago.
A year ago, Bai Heng was stripped of his official position, deprived of his palm seal, and given thirty beatings with a cane by the Hada Khan due to his poor handling of a tribal civil strife. After receiving the punishment, Bai Heng, who had not recovered yet, secretly took Ming Cheng to Huangbei.
A month later, I heard that Bai Heng had become the commander-in-chief of Huang Bei, and that Ming Cheng would marry Shangdu Khan, who was over sixty years old, and become the only princess.
Yun Chuan was sure that Mingcheng was not someone who was greedy for power, but must have been forced by Bo Heng to marry an old Khan who was more than forty years older than her. Moreover, she had known that Mingcheng's feelings for Shengze were not as simple as brother and sister.
Shengze is always out having sex with women
Mingcheng is often secretly angry about this and feels uncomfortable alone. Although it is not known whether Shengze has affection for Mingcheng as a child, the friendship between childhood sweethearts is very real. The night before Mingcheng's wedding, Shengze and Yunchuan sneaked into Huangbei to prepare
Rescue Mingcheng.
When she saw Mingcheng that night, she was crying in front of the candle, with a pair of phoenix tears streaming down her face. When she saw the two people coming out of the blue, her eyes were full of surprise and excitement, and she couldn't help but choke as she held their hands.
That night Yunchuan and Shengze learned that Hada Khan and Bai Heng had long had a quarrel, and the quelling the civil strife this time was just an excuse to get rid of Bo Heng. Shangdu Khan had long admired Bai Heng's talents and had a good impression of Mingcheng.
In order to gain a foothold in Huangbei, Bai Heng took the initiative to offer his daughter, whom he had always been proud of.
This undoubtedly aroused greater anger among Yunchuan and Shengze. If Mingcheng hadn't held them back, they would have rushed out to seek an explanation from Monk Bai Heng.
Yunchuan still vividly remembers what happened that night.
Yunchuan said angrily: "I will go back and ask my father to raise an army to attack Huang Bei and ask them to hand over sister Mingcheng. This Shangdu Khan is so shameless. Don't you know how old he is?!"
Mingcheng covered Yunchuan's mouth in panic and said: "Yunchuan, please lower your voice. This is Huang Bei. If you want them to know that you are insulting their Khan behind your back, they will do anything."
Yun Chuan sneered: "Sister, don't be afraid! Follow me back to Tusang, we Tusang can protect you!"
Mingcheng wiped his tears and sighed: "In the current situation, my father has betrayed Xia Yi. How can Tusang tolerate me due to the relationship between Tusang and Xia Yi?"
Yun Chuan looked stubborn: "What does Uncle Bai Heng's matter have to do with you? Don't worry, I will go talk to my father."
Mingcheng stroked Yunchuan's hand and said: "With my current status, I am afraid that few people in the grassland are willing to take me in. Who would make an enemy of the entire Huangbei for an insignificant person?"
Yun Chuan looked at the distressed Shengze beside him and said anxiously: "Shengze, think about it, is there any other good solution?"
Mingcheng raised his eyes and looked at Shengze, with mixed feelings in his heart. He stopped talking and lowered his eyebrows. Shengze said slowly: "Sister Mingcheng, is it true that Uncle Bai Heng can't look back?"
Mingcheng Shengze smoothed his hair from his temples and said: "The tribes that rebelled this time have surrendered to the Wei Dynasty. Not only did my father fail to quell the civil strife, he also suffered heavy losses. Hada Khan removed my father's official position and demoted him to
He was appointed as the chief bodyguard, and was ordered not to lead troops for life. Although my father made mistakes, how could it be that my father did not buy back most of the country in Xiayi with his blood? How can my father turn back after being humiliated like this? "
Shengze thought for a moment and asked, "What if my brother can take back his will?"
Mingcheng sneered: "Do you think it's possible? Will your brother let go of this military power? Besides, your brother has long felt that my father is respected by others because he once saved the old Khan. My father's temper is also a bit unreasonable.
Man, it's only a matter of time before your brother takes action." Mingcheng sighed and continued.
Then he said: "Your brother is ten years older than me. Although he belongs to the same generation in terms of seniority, I never dare to regard him as my brother. The king is the king, and there is no respect for affection. I can't be by your side in the future. You
You must put away your royal temperament, stay away from the royal power, and keep yourself safe throughout your life, which is more important than anything else."
Yun Chuan pounded the table and said, "What should we do? We can't go back to Xiayi, and we can't go to Tusang. My sister has long been famous in the grassland, where else can we go?"
Mingcheng looked at Yunchuan and Shengze who had anxious faces, but comforted them and said: "Everyone has his own destiny. You don't have to worry about your sister. I won't be able to take care of you all the time in the future, so you must not make me worry.
.”
"Sister, let me take you to Weichao. No one will know you when you arrive in Dawei." In helplessness, Shengze's abrupt words broke the silence. Mingcheng and Yunchuan looked at Shengze and Yunchuan in surprise.
After thinking for a moment, he clapped his hands and applauded: "Shengze is right, sister, just go to Dawei. I heard that it is a good place with vast land, rich resources and pleasant climate."
"Dawei?" Mingcheng raised his head, the tears in his eyes shone with crystal light, his cheeks twitched a little, and he muttered these two words in a low voice. Mingcheng thought for a moment, shook his head, pursed his lips and lowered his head again, whispering: "
My father will definitely not go. There is no difference between me leaving my hometown alone and marrying someone I don't like. After all, I will end up alone."
"Sister, how can you think so? Even if Uncle Bai Heng doesn't go with you, he won't blame you. Besides, the marriage he arranged for you didn't have your consent. When you arrive in Dawei, you can stay anonymous and settle down.
Well, I will send you money, and you can find someone you like, and you will definitely live a happy life..." Yun Chuan took a step closer and took Mingcheng's hands to comfort him.
"If parents all over the world were equally loving, there wouldn't be so many distant marriages, don't you think?" Mingcheng interrupted Yun Chuan, looked at Sheng Ze, and said, "Yunchuan, with my status, I will
You can't help yourself. From now on, hey, I hope you can control your own happiness."
"Sister, I know that we are in the home of princes, generals and ministers, and we have too many missions on our shoulders. You used to often say to us, 'The king raised his army, repaired my armor, and went with me.' If it is to protect the family,
We agree to sacrifice our own happiness, but we force you to marry an old Khan in his sixties. Which family and country are you doing this for?" Yunchuan said indignantly.
"I..." Mingcheng stopped talking and turned his back, "You go away, just think that I am a vain woman. It is not a bad thing to become Huang Bei's princess, and I can still save my life."
I and my father will live a prosperous life..."
"Sister!" Yunchuan shouted, knowing full well that this was not his intention.
"Sister, let's go to the Wei Dynasty together, and let's travel around the world incognito!" Shengze stood behind Yunchuan and Mingcheng, looking at their backs and said.
Yunchuan and Mingcheng turned around in shock and looked at Shengze, who had a calm expression. Mingcheng's originally troubled heart was beating hard, and tears filled his eyes again. He was happy and uncomfortable in his heart: it turned out that he had always been in his heart.
I understand, but do I really want to abandon the gift of childbearing?
Yun Chuan looked at the expressions of the two of them and felt a little confused. The relationship between Mingcheng and Shengze had always been complicated and confusing. Although he often made fun of them, they had never admitted their feelings for each other directly. Especially especially
Sheng Ze is not very old, but he has a rich love history, and many women come to him to settle affairs with him. If Sheng Ze really has this intention for Ming Cheng, Yun Chuan only hopes that Sheng Ze will never let Ming Cheng down in the future.
"Shengze, what did you say?" Mingcheng still couldn't believe his ears.
"Sister, I said I would go with you. I, Shengze, can do it. You hurry up and pack your things. Let's set off now. I have long wanted to leave the world behind and wander around the world." Shengze finished calmly.
, couldn't help but glance at Yun Chuan from the corner of his eye.
Yun Chuan looked at Shengze's calm face and thought, "This might not be a good ending." Then he pulled Mingcheng to the couch and urged her to pack her things quickly and set off now. He also told Shengze: "
"After you get there and settle down, you must give me news and I will go see you."
"Okay." Shengze replied calmly.
Mingcheng looked back at Shengze, hesitating in his heart, hesitating to speak, and couldn't help but slow down to pack his clothes. "Sister, what are you still hesitating about? We have to leave quickly before dawn." Yunchuan urged again, "Yes.
Come on, don’t bring these clothes, just bring some money. Tell me what you need after you settle down, and I will send it to you later. Fortunately, we have learned to read Chinese characters since we were young, so it comes in handy."
"Oh, then, don't take all these clothes with you?" Mingcheng looked at Shengze and remembered what he just said "let's go together", his heart started to beat, and he suddenly felt the shyness of a little girl, a little bit
At a loss, he asked with concern, "Shengze, what should I do with your luggage?"
"I don't want luggage. With this pearl on my head, I can buy a big yard in the Central Plains." Shengze said freely and freely.
"Okay, then..." Mingcheng felt infinite sweetness and longing for having a big courtyard with him. Isn't this the scene that often appears in her dreams? She didn't expect that it would really come true! Wandering around the world incognito,
There will be no more Nagu in this world from now on
Si. Mingcheng, filial piety and protecting the family have nothing to do with her. But at this time, why is there still a faint pain in her heart? Mingcheng secretly said to himself: Can you be selfish, be brave once, and pursue yourself?
Happiness is coming soon!
"We're done packing, let's go." Yun Chuan picked up the package, blew out the candlelight, and without Ming Cheng's hesitation, he pulled the two of them out of the yurt. The three of them came to the stables, stole three fast horses, and ran south. There was no one on the road.
People were talking and there was only the sound of horse hoofbeats. The three of them passed by Tusang, and Yunchuan separated from them.
Shengze whispered to Yunchuan: "Yunchuan, you have to take care of yourself in the future." Shengze's usually unruly eyes turned indifferent and melancholy.
"I know, you are too." Yun Chuan felt extremely reluctant to leave. Overnight, he and his two close friends were separated from each other by the world. He never knew where or when they would see each other again in this life. Yun Chuan lowered his head and replied, "You guys
After settling in, you must find a way to notify me. And Shengze, you can no longer follow your own temper, you have to take good care of sister Mingcheng and don't make her angry again."
"Well, don't worry, I will take good care of myself and Shengze." Mingcheng looked at Shengze. Shengze's eyes were filled with tears. He raised his head slightly and looked at the night sky, pursed his lips and remained silent.
Mingcheng thought that Shengze might be reluctant to leave this grassland, but she didn't want to delve into it. She would be able to grow old hand in hand with Shengze soon, and it might never be possible to miss this opportunity again.
In the two days after the three separated, Yunchuan kept trying to find out the news about Huang Bei and Xia Yi. He heard that Huang Bei sent many troops to chase Mingcheng after dawn, but there was no movement from Xia Yi. But this is not surprising, Shengze
I have always liked to travel and enjoy the mountains and rivers. I would leave as soon as I asked. I was very upset when I disappeared for ten days and a half.
Normal. For the past two days, Yunchuan has been on tenterhooks, praying to the Immortal God to bless Shengze and Mingcheng to reach Dawei safely. As long as they enter the Central Plains in disguise and remain anonymous, unless Huang Bei asks Dawei to help search, they can only rely on their own
It is basically difficult to find people in the Central Plains.
However, on the third day, Shengze and Mingcheng were still captured.
By the time Yunchuan got the news, Shengze had already been sent back to Xiayi. Yunchuan rushed to Xiayi, and Shengze was being scolded by Hada Khan, who bluntly said that Shengze's actions had made the entire Xiayi lose face on the grassland.
Yunchuan walked up to Hada Khan and said: "Khan, we just want to save Mingcheng's sister. Her father betrayed Xia Yi, but she was not wrong. You have watched us grow up, and I think you don't want Mingcheng either.
Sister, let the sheep fall into the tiger's mouth."
