The Queen of the Prairie and I

Every evening, after dinner, Dronatia would go to listen to Mr. Yang's lectures.In the last few days she has started taking me with her.

"You can kill and conquer the world, but you cannot rule the world by killing and cutting. If you use power as a pattern and lose your heart to the people, it is inevitable that the nest will overturn and the great cause will be destroyed once."

Mr. Yang, named Yang Chucai.In his forties, he was a literati who defected to the Cuckoo Department from the Central Plains six or seven years ago.Since then, he has taught and raised children for the nobles of Cuckood, and he himself seems to hope to cultivate a king of benevolence and righteousness who can rule the world.Dronatia is his student, and she also likes listening to Mr. Yang's lectures very much.

But Mr. Yang is obviously not in a good mood these days.Because every time Dronatia listened to a lecture, there would be someone sitting next to her.That is me, the one who is inseparable from the Queen.

He seems to regard me as a troublesome woman, pestering Dronatia to corrupt her mind and fighting spirit.I can't explain it either, after all, only Dronatia in the barracks is willing to talk to me now.

"Brilliant clothes and jade food are things for health, but they can be beneficial to life if they don't ask too much every day. If the brain is full of fat and the stomach is full, and the two desires are demanding, it will be harmful to the body. Over time, it will be a serious problem. This is seeking longevity and not getting a short life. reason."

Although Mr. Yang is just a well-mannered old scholar, he seems to really want to train Dronatia into an ideal gentleman, so he really doesn't like me.But because Zhuonatia didn't dare to say it clearly, she could only slap on the sidelines.Today we talk about rich clothes and fine food, and tomorrow we talk about beauty and troubles. Anyway, I will use whatever can be used to refer to me.

There was a noise at the door, as if someone wanted to enter the yurt but was blocked by the guards.Dronatia originally wanted to ignore it, but Mr. Yang, who was too shy to argue, couldn't continue talking.

"Let the man in," said Donatia, and the guards let him in.

It's an orderly soldier with a few feathers on his head, which means hurry up.

"If you dare to stop the urgent military report, give the guards outside the door fifty lashes!" Zhuonatia shouted at the door.Immediately there was a noise outside the door, and the soldiers seemed to have dragged the guard away for disposal.

"Say" dealt with the disqualified guard, Donatia said to the orderly.He knelt down on one knee and began to report on the military situation.

I don't quite understand it, but I can roughly hear that it was the small army of the An people who wiped out all the [-] vanguard soldiers of General Hummer, and even beheaded General Hummer.

That Hummer general who was as tall as a yurt who could eat lamb leg with the skin and bones in a few bites, died so easily?I was very surprised, because in my understanding, that Hummer general was simply a monster, and even he died so easily, and those An people were really strong.

Donatia didn't answer, she waved her hand to let the messenger go out, but she didn't mean to continue to learn from Mr. Yang.The old scholar was also very good at observing words and expressions, so he was very witty and didn't speak.

Although it is said that she uses soldiers like a god, she has suffered many defeats since I came.

"If five thousand elite soldiers can be wiped out in one battle, is there any general from the An tribe from Aili Malai among those An tribes? Otherwise, how could it be possible to mobilize that kind of combat power?" She murmured, as if she was asking me, but she didn't.

"With such an urgent military situation, the generals should be summoned to discuss countermeasures immediately," Mr. Yang said.

Zhuonatia glared at him, it was really not angry and prestige, silently reminding Mr. Yang that he crossed the line and that he should not make decisions on behalf of the monarch.

"I have offended you." He quickly stood up and knelt down on one knee.As I've observed, he knows how to read words and emotions.

But well

"He is right, you should think about whether you will be seen through the art of war," I said to Dronatia.She glared at me again, but didn't startle me.

"Don't be greedy about these things," Dronatia said to me.

"But you're right, the Crane Wing Formation is no longer applicable, and the other party must have seen through this situation." She picked up the brush holder and started chewing habitually as she spoke.In the past few days, we have been in class together, and I haven't seen her writing, but only saw her chewing on the tip of her pen.

"Then we can't open the door wide, we have to form a circle—" before finishing speaking, there was another noise from outside the house.Donatia just wanted to call out the door for silence, but soon realized that the voice was unusual.Not to mention the noisy voices, mixed with the clash of weapons and swords, and screams.

"Your Highness, you've been attacked! Ah—!" The guard stuck his head in from the door, and fell to the ground as soon as he spoke, only to see a long arrow stuck in the back of his head.Donatia remained calm, turned around and picked up her saber from the table and tied it around her waist.I've seen this kind of "nest smashing" attack before, so it's not too scary.On the contrary, Mr. Yang seemed to be quite frightened, and got under the table.

The guards formed a circle around the yurt to protect us.Dronatia again put on a posture ready for a bloody battle at any time.This situation makes me feel very at ease.

But there was a strange noise outside the yurt, and before I realized what it was, something heavy fell on the eaves of the yurt, and suddenly a dagger appeared on the roof, cutting open the felt on the roof, and a black shadow kicked The kick broke a wooden beam and fell on the table.

The female warrior in black was like a human being in the night. She looked around quickly, and then stabbed Jonatia's neck with a knife, which was blocked by her.

The man in black jumped up and down like a monkey. Although he was holding a dagger in his backhand, he attacked continuously from the top and the bottom, which made Zhuonatia, who was holding a long knife, tired of coping.

"Get out!" she yelled at me, and I rushed out of the yurt without thinking.

As soon as I went out, I felt hurt, as if I had done something bad that was unacceptable.The night military camp was in chaos, and some yurts were on fire.In the darkness, the men in black can be seen everywhere but are hard to catch, harvesting the lives of the cuckolds everywhere.

"The maid's tent is on fire!" I don't know who shouted, and I felt my head buzzing.

Donatia is capable of martial arts, all the soldiers are protecting her.But what about Fuko?

As if I had just rushed out of the yurt, I rushed to the maid's tent without even thinking about it.Sure enough, the large tent and several yurts were lit, turning into extremely bright torches in the darkness.

The maids were staggering here and there, and among them were the corpses of the nuns who had no time to escape.

An arrow flew past my ear, and the sharp whistling sound hurt my eardrums and terrified me, so I quickly lay down on the ground and pretended to be dead.

After lying down, I found a white figure dancing beside the flames, as if he didn't care that his life might be lost at any time on this chaotic battlefield.

But after taking a closer look, I found that it was Shanying.Dressed in white like her sister, holding a long sword and fighting with several men in black.There was another figure sitting on the ground behind her, still in shock.That's Fuko.

There aren't many soldiers here, and the assassins recognize Sugi Sakura as a big shot again, so she's actually on the order.Although the confrontation with several men in black did not lose the wind, it was like a group of hunters shooting arrows around their prey, just being played and waiting to run out of energy.

Thinking that Donatia was not far from here, I broke my heart, got up and ran back.

At the door of the yurt where Dronatia was, she was standing among the soldiers, as if she had dealt with the assassin just now.

"Hurry up and save Shanying! She's on the order!"

I shouted as hard as I could.fell to the ground again.Simple things become more complicated when they are more important, even ordinary running can make people stumble.

Before I got up, I heard a piercing whistle not far away. It seemed to be some kind of special ventriloquist?As soon as the man in black heard the sound, he dropped the corpses of his own people on the ground and scattered like birds and beasts.

"Don't let go, the cavalry is chasing you!" Zonatia ordered the soldiers, and squatted down in front of me.

She was worried about my appearance, and seemed to want to laugh at my embarrassment.

"Are you okay?" she asked.Damn, I can see a little smile in her eyes.

"No, I didn't die, it's not very comfortable." I stood up and pointed in the direction of the maid's tent. "Don't you care about your sister's life?"

"She may have been beaten very hard, and she won't die so easily." Donatia seemed relieved, but it was not difficult to see that she was pretending not to be too worried.I don't know what good it does her to pretend to be like this in front of me.

"Who are these people?"

"An people, An people's assassin team, it's the first time to see so many An people's assassins appearing."

"An people?" The An people I met were all indomitable fighters, and this was the first time I saw such a sinister and vicious assassin.

I looked at Zhuonatia's white robe, which was already dirty a lot, and then asked, "Are you injured?"

"Just asking? If it's later, I'm afraid they will all die." She seemed dissatisfied.

"I think you can fight very well, and you won't die so easily." She learned what she said to her sister and sold it, and you can also see how angry Jonatia is.In fact, I did worry about her, but thinking that the entire barracks will protect her, it seems that I am not alone.

"It's good that I'm fine, ah, I'm scared to death."

"What are you talking about?" She suddenly said such a sentence for no reason, and put on a stupid look, which made me suddenly confused.

"Because you really can't say it, I will do it for myself." Zhuonatia said, sighed, turned around and went to command the soldiers again.

She is indeed very similar to her sister, although she hides it deeply, her nature is still the same.

It's really not funny, and like a child, she insists on others to tell her something clearly.
