Thousands of years ago, the wild people were the owner of the northern grasslands of the mainland, so until today, this grassland is still called the wilderness. There are eagles on the grassland, so the wild people are good at raising eagles. Even if they were defeated by the Tang Kingdom, they were forced to move north to the extreme north.
In the cold realm, the deserted people still did not give up raising eagles.
Xiahou is a deserted man, and Tang is also a deserted man, so they are all familiar with raising eagles.
Looking at Tang, who was dressed in a torn and dirty dress like a beggar in the distance, Xiahou suddenly remembered his experience of a child as an eagle, and remembered that the young eagle was not old and was shaking on the iron rack, but never
The picture of being willing to lower one's stubbornness and raising one's head.
From the depths of the wasteland, he fought each other thousands of miles away. He was always confident, thinking that he was suffering like an eagle. He used the other party's anger and hatred to keep the other party unable to close his eyes and consume all his energy.
In the boring battle day after day.
Xiahou originally thought he was about to succeed, but he watched with his own eyes the true energy in Tang's body gradually fade away and his spirit gradually become tired. His body as hard as gold and stone became ordinary, could be injured and started to bleed. He thought Tang's blood would flow during the long journey.
After that, I fell down like the young eagle back then.
However, he did not expect that Tang did not fall down, but instead felt unprecedented fatigue, weakness, and even a touch of fatigue in the deepest part of his body.
Could it be that I am the eagle that was being suffocated?
Xiahou kept coughing, and blood kept overflowing from the fist blocking his lips, but the expression on his face was still cold and calm, and his deep eyes were as cold as ice.
Old age is not scary.
Whether in the grassland or on the rock walls on the banks of the Ate Sea, only the eagles are real eagles.
He put down his fist, took out a towel to wipe the blood stains on the corner of his lips, looked at Tang in the distance with no expression, and said, "Your perseverance surprised me a little, but after all, you are not your teacher,
You can never threaten me until you pass that threshold."
Tang looked down at the grass under his feet that was lit by his blood.
The continuous battles caused him seriously. The seemingly inconspicuous Tang cavalry brought him a lot of trouble under the powerful military discipline and tactical organization. As the true energy in his body gradually dried up, his seemingly indestructible body also
Finally bleeding under those swords and arrows.
The Demon Sect has already withered. He, the Demon Sect, is more like a lonely man. Not to mention that compared with countless Taoist priests in the Xiling Temple, even compared with the traitor Xiahou, he seems so weak.
In a sense, the Demon Sect in the world is him.
He is the Demon Sect.
He is the last spirit and pride of the Demon Sect, so he cannot fall down.
So even though he was seriously injured and could not see any hope, he still fought with Xiahou and thousands of Tang cavalry in silence until this moment, and fought at the city of Tuyang.
Tang raised his head and looked at Xiahou who was guarding countless cavalrymen, and said, "Look at your body that seems powerful but is actually like a rotten wood. Ask your heart that seems powerful and actually like a mud, if I really
If you can't threaten you, how could you turn around and say these words to me at this time?"
Xiahou was silent for a long time, and then said, "You can't follow me back to Chang'an. The Central Plains is the world covered by the divine light of the heavens. Even the sky cannot tolerate you, so what can you do?"
As the last and most powerful remnant of the Demon Sect, Tang could live freely on the wasteland and confront Ye Su Gefeng, but he knew very well that if he really went to the Central Plains, he would inevitably face the powerful people of the Xiling Temple.
Our endless pursuit is a dead end.
"I really can't enter the Central Plains."
Tang looked at Tuyang City not far away and said, "I don't even dare to enter that city, but I have hurt you, I make you weak and nervous, then I know you are destined to die."
Xiahou said: "Why say these meaningless words?"
"I can't do things that have no meaning, and I can't say things that have no meaning. I'm definitely not the only one in the world who wants to kill you. When you leave the barracks and return to Chang'an City, or when you return to old age, those steamed people
The unjust souls in the trunk and the little ghosts on the vain death will come to you and ask for your life. Those unjust souls will be grateful for me for chasing you all the way, and I will also be grateful for those unjust souls who chase you until they die."
Tang finally nodded to Xiahou and said, "I wish you a happy return to old age and a wonderful death."
After saying this, he turned around and left the meadow and disappeared into the forest.
Xiahou looked silently at the meadow where there was no trace, and at the forest gently blown by the summer wind, without saying anything, and gently lifted the reins of the horse and drove towards Tuyang City.
The wind blowing from the wasteland blew the forest, the deep grass, the military flag at the top of the Tuyang city, and the hair exposed on the edge of his helmet, and the gray hair.
Since ancient times, famous generals are like beauty, and they are not allowed to see white hair on earth, but their heads are already white. (《》)

...
The newly renovated house by Yanming Lake welcomed the first batch of guests.
His Highness Li Yu, her stepson, and Situ Yilan.
Ning Que welcomed Situ Yilan's arrival very much. He had no objection to the poor little barbarian prince, but he couldn't help but feel a little troublesome about the visit of His Royal Highness the Tang Dynasty Princess.
He had a good relationship with Li Yu, but he knew very well that she would definitely cause trouble for him.
Sure enough, when only he and Li Yu were left in the quiet study, trouble came.
Outside the carved window of the study, there are several ancient trees, the shade of the summer, and the breeze is pleasant, even the cicadas in the woods are not annoying.
Li Yu held a bowl of herbal tea, looked at the lake view faintly visible outside the window, and said with a smile: "Cicadas are noisy in the forest, the house is really good, no wonder you are a stingy man who is willing to spend so much money."
Ning Que sighed and thought to himself that he was going to start talking from here?
He walked to Li Yu's side and said, "Thank you for the big trees you sent by Your Highness."
The ancient trees in the house by Yanming Lake all come from Li Yu's royal fiefdom. These trees are of great value. The cost of transporting them out of the mountain and returning to Chang'an City is a terrible number. The most important thing is that there are many rare ancient trees.
, even if you have money, you can't buy it.
Ning Que is indeed a very high-ranking person now, but Li Yu is the dignified Princess of the Tang Dynasty. He doesn’t need to please him at all. Such a heavy gift naturally requires rewards.
"After all, it's some mountainous things, not much."
Li Yu walked to the exhibition shelf in the study room, looked at the antiques on the shelf, his expression changed slightly, and said with a chuckle: "I asked my father for this pen when I was a child, but he said he gave it to her, so it was hard to come back.
, I didn’t expect that I could see it in your study now.”
Ning Que looked at the square stone-like black jade brush and said, "If you like it, take it."
Li Yu laughed and said, "Why should I want what she gave you?"
The only one who dares to call the Queen of the Concubine for her in Chang'an City was Li Yu and his brother.
Of course, this can only be a private title.
It is obvious that Li Yu didn't care that Ning Que could see his true attitude towards the queen.
Ning Que did not answer the conversation.
Li Yu looked at him and said with a smile: "I heard that you have been in the palace recently, so I guess you are very familiar with her?"
Ning Que said: "It's indeed much more familiar than before."
Li Yu asked, "What kind of person do you think she is?"
Ning Que replied directly: "I don't know."
After a while, Li Yu thought to himself and said with a self-deprecating smile: "I have been right with her for so many years, but I still can't see clearly what she is thinking, let alone you."
Ning Que shook his head and said, "Why think so much?"
Li Yu drank the herbal tea in the cup, frowned slightly, but smiled and said, "It's very delicious. Is this mulberry tea made by Sangsang? I heard her say it several times, but this is the first time I have drunk it.
”
Listening to Your Highness’s story about family matters, Ning Que suddenly felt much more relaxed. He was ready to explain the method of making mulberry tea and emphasized that it was his invention.
However, he did not expect that Li Yu's next sentence came very quickly.
The atmosphere turns sharply, or goes up.
"My idea is simple, you know."
Li Yu looked at Ning Que's eyes calmly and persistently.
Ning Que did not avoid her gaze and said, "I told you my thoughts too."
Li Yu said: "I know there are some problems between you and the Emperor's side now."
Ning Que said: "I admit, but the problem is always solved, and I don't need to care about them."
"I don't think that after you kill Huang Xing and Yu Shuizhu, you can still talk to Xiahou very happily, and make the respected veteran generals in the military think you are kind and harmless."
Li Yu said: "These problems cannot be solved. Maybe you really don't need to care about them, but if you want to continue doing something, you have to care."
Ning Que said: "I will naturally not admit what Your Highness said. As for the little friction between me and General Xiahou, I believe it will not last for too long."
"Everyone knows that Xiahou is the Empress."
Li Yu said: "The Empress is constantly winning over you now, so naturally she doesn't want the dispute between Xiahou and the academy to continue to expand, but are you willing?"
Ning Que thought I knew that the Empress was Xiahou's real sister.
The eldest brother had already made an explanation, and of course he would not reveal this big secret in front of Li Yu.
Li Yu said: "If the hatred between you and Xiahou is just the conflicts on the wasteland, since the Grand Master has set the tone, I hope you will be willing to do so."
Ning Que frowned slightly, wondering why she chose to stand on the same position as the queen.
Li Yu whispered: "There are only some young generals in the army who are willing to be loyal to me. Hua Shanyue is led by Hebei County soldiers. The military achievements are too difficult. With his current qualifications, he has no way to take over Xiahou's position as the Northeast Frontier Army.
However, since Xiahou is willing to retire and return to his old age, it is always a good thing for me, so I don’t want anything else to interfere with the process.”
This explanation is very **, so it is very sincere, even Ning Que was slightly stunned.
After a moment he sighed and said, "This kind of thing is really boring."
Li Yu said slightly, "I am worthy of being a student of the Master, but I even feel bored in the throne of the Tang Empire."
Ning Que said: "I have told you before, don't pay too much attention to the attitude of me, a person who is a worldly academy. I have teachers, senior brothers and sisters, His Majesty the Emperor in the palace, National Master in the temple, and National Master in the temple.
Box Yang, there are old generals of Xu Shi in the army. Whether the dragon throne was passed to your younger brother or the prince born to the Queen, it was the opinion of these people after all."
Li Yu looked at him quietly and suddenly spoke, "But have you ever thought about whether it is the father, the master, or the old generals in the army, they will always leave?"
"Why do the academy have to join the world? Why does the father value you so much? Why is Xu Shi so vigilant about you? In fact, it is all based on the same reason."
"No one can resist the life wheel of Haotian. As time goes by, the Tang Dynasty will eventually lose them. Some people are worried that you will become an evil eagle without hunters' suppression and harm the world after they die. The Master and the Father are silent.
Without saying a word, I protect you and torture you and polish you, wanting you to turn from a young eagle to an eagle, and protect the Tang Dynasty without them."
