Ye Hen and Lin Jinfeng had never been to the desert. The impression given to them by the desert was that of desolation, deathly silence and vastness. However, standing on the loess, the desert gave them a sad feeling and infinite temptation.
This desert is composed of numerous sand mountains and lakes between the sands. The sand mountains are tall and majestic, and the lakes are crystal blue.
There are many lakes scattered among the tall sand mountains in the hinterland of the desert. People in Li call it Haizi. The lake water is crystal clear and glitters like pearls embedded in the desert. Most of them are saltwater lakes. Incredibly, there are freshwater springs in the saltwater lakes, which spurt out.
The water is very sweet and amazing. Surrounding Haizi are swamp meadows and halophytic meadows, which are also important pastures and residential areas in the desert.
As soon as Mo'er set foot on the desert land, she was like a living elf. Her soaring spirit and cheerful smile made people unbelievable. She was the woman who always spoke little in the palace and was gentle and quiet most of the time.
.
She led the way, explaining the customs and customs of the desert to Ye Hen and Lin Jinfeng with a smile.
The king and prince of Li Kingdom had already received the news and had already come out to greet him from a distance.
Mo'er happily threw herself into King Li's arms and said, "Father."
With tears in his eyes, King Li touched her hair and said, "Mo'er, I've made you suffer."
She felt sour in her heart, but she didn't want Ye Hen to see it, so she turned around and walked up to the eldest prince, bowing to the desert in a decent manner, "Brother."
The eldest prince Mo Yao's stern face finally broke into a smile. He stretched out his hand and tapped her forehead: "Crazy girl."
Ye Hen stood aside and watched her flying happily among the crowd like a bird. He recalled the scene when he saw her in the palace. The loneliness on her face that could not be concealed was like a flower at dusk. Although it was beautiful, it was useless.
brilliance.
It seems that the desert is her real home, a place where she can be happy.
The reception feast consisted of roasting a whole lamb and making rice wine. During the banquet, Mo Yao and Lin Jinfeng competed with each other with swords. A musician played drums next to them.
The king and the seventh prince witnessed it and became brothers through bloodshed.
While I was drinking, another maiko performed a desert sword dance, the wind blew on my sleeves, and my swords glowed with rainbow light.
Lin Jinfeng and Mo Yao were drinking and making time. They were both heroes in the world, and they seemed to regret meeting each other late.
Mo'er was laughing and watching them fistfight when she suddenly noticed that Ye Hen was missing from the table. She hurriedly looked for him and saw him sitting alone on the sand dune under the cold moonlight. A wolf moon in the sky reflected him alone.
.
She felt a lot of desolation and reluctance in her heart, so she walked over and sat down next to him and said, "You finally got your wish and saw the sunset in the desert."
He didn't say anything for a long time, still looking steadily at the sandbank in front of him.
"Mo'er, if one day I can marry you, I will take you to live in seclusion in this desert, watch the sunset over the long river every day, and see you smiling like a flower every day." He held her hand and said, "Badi treats you well.
Not bad, but I know you have me in your heart, and as long as you keep this sincerity for me, I will definitely live up to your love."
Mo'er raised her head and saw those dark eyes looking at her quietly, as if she had countless words to say.
Warmth surged in her heart, and she gently put her other hand on his and nodded: "I told you, I believe you."
Later, I thought many times that the most beautiful scenery in her life was probably the time she spent with him in the desert.
The sun in the desert is extremely harsh, and during the day, people basically stay indoors.
Only in the evening, soldiers were training and people were cooking, making a lot of noise and excitement.
Mo'er sat on the horse and said to Ye Hen with a smile: "I can't ride a horse, but I can ride a camel."
Seeing how proud she looked, Ye Hen chuckled and said, "You are quite capable. I have never ridden this thing before."
She giggled, as if she was mocking him, "It turns out that the Seventh Prince who is galloping on the battlefield is not good at something."
He ignored her ridicule, and took out a camel from the side, and then got on it. The camel was very cooperative and led him forward slowly. His back was straight and his expression was cheerful. There was nothing wrong with it.
meaning.
Mo'er chased me from behind, pouted and said, "You're lying."
He smiled tenderly at her: "I did just learn it."
She was extremely angry, knowing that although this camel was easy to ride, she had spent a lot of effort in the beginning and was often scolded by Mo Yao, but he was proficient in it just by looking at it with his eyes. How could she not
envy.
Ye Hen pushed the camel over to please him and said, "How can I stop being angry?"
She curled her lips angrily: "Unless you fall."
As soon as he finished speaking, he tilted his body and fell off the camel.
Mo'er was anxious and distressed, so she quickly jumped off the camel, ran over and said, "You are such a child with a bad temper. If I ask you to fall, you will fall."
He was lying on the ground smiling happily, suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms, and then rolled down the high sand dune with her in his arms.
The blue sky and white clouds, yellow sand and gravel crisscrossed in front of my eyes, and my body rolled over the hot sand dunes, which gave me a heart-warming warmth.
She often played like this when she was a child, and now she forgot to be afraid and giggled loudly.
The two of them were covered in yellow sand and finally landed next to the lake below.
Mo'er stretched out her hand to wipe off the sand on his forehead and said with a smile: "If you want to go away, go away yourself, but you still have to take me with you."
He didn't speak either, just stared at her quietly.
The loud slogans and neat footsteps of Li soldiers were heard in the distance, mixed with the sound of camel bells, and they gradually moved away.
At this moment, he suddenly forgot his identity, forgot that she was the emperor's concubine, and forgot that he had sworn in front of his father to help his seventh brother protect Chu Zhao.
He just wanted to hold her like this forever, buried in the sand and accumulated by the years, with only the two of them in his memory.
At night, the King of Li held a banquet, cooked cattle and slaughtered sheep, and everyone had a great time.
When the wine was getting thicker, Mo Yao knelt down in front of King Li with a cup in both hands and asked for his order, "I am willing to lead 200,000 elite troops to help Chu Zhaoguo quell the civil strife."
King Li responded with wine and solemnly said: "It's a great victory."
The compact and passionate sound of gongs and drums sounded in the tent, and everyone looked happy. Only Mo'er's heart was racing, and she seemed to be disturbed by the beating of the drums.
In the midst of the excitement, she got up and walked out of the tent, taking a breath of fresh air.
Ye Hen stood behind her and asked, "Are you feeling well?"
But she turned back with a smile, reached out and pulled out the sword from his waist, "You have never seen me dancing."
He nodded. Sword dance is a unique dance in the desert. It is astounding with its skill and elegance.
"Let me dance a song for you."
She said, holding a long sword and retreating to the hill.
The full moon is like a disk, and her figure seems to be reflected in the brightness. Her white skirt is flying, as if Chang'e has descended into the mortal world.
He looked at it infatuatedly, with an endless tender smile on his lips.
