The Queen of the Prairie and I

When I lie on the hillside and observe the Ronghua Army cavalry who are entering the camp in the distance, I always have an indescribable itching on my neck.When I tried to scratch it, it seemed that there was something, but I took a look and found that it was a centipede.

"Don't get bitten." The veteran lying on the side gently snatched the struggling little thing from my hand and threw it aside.

"This is already the third post station they have passed, and we will not have enough food further west." I said softly. "I suspect they're going to White Mountain."

"Why?" asked the veteran.

"Baishan has the tribes and pastures of the original Baishan tribe and Bode tribe. It is a ready-made army gathering place. The second brother said that the Ronghua army has been repairing after returning from the western expedition. If it is not returning to the west of Liaoning, it should be repairing in Baishan. Because Zhuonatia In Danning Mansion, they can be ordered to enter the front line through Dingxi Pass at any time."

"Girl, you know better than I do, you are ashamed of me who has been fighting all the time." The veteran laughed.

"I've stayed with Dronatia for a while, and I've been to these places when I was a child when I was robbed back and forth, so I'm familiar with them. Don't forget that when I was a child, the Bode tribe drove from this road to Shan The Ning Mansion took me away."

"It really makes no sense to forget."

"Girl just watch carefully, I'll go pick something to eat." The veteran said, "They are recuperating, so we can't go hungry."

"We've got to wait a little longer, or we won't be able to make a fire, and sooner or later we'll get dysentery or something."

"You understand all this?"

"It's not the first time I've been taken into hiding." It's true that I can't tell how many times it is. "Anyway, there are so many of them, they can't lose them no matter what."

"I'll do more, because further west is a wasteland."

"Fortunately, there are sand onions to eat when we arrive in the wasteland"

"Sand onion?"

"Yeah, it tastes good, the more barren the land the more." I said. "The wasteland can't support too many people, but it's enough to support the two of us."

"Who the two of us are protecting whom?" The veteran bowed his body and entered the forest behind him, while I continued to observe the barracks below as he said.

*******************

In western Liaoning, Li Weiyi took the letter and brought Wen Liangyu and others to join the Ronghua Army.

"You are Li Weiyi? The iron hook lord of the Guijier clan?" the female officer asked, and Li Weiyi just nodded.

"The general said he still wants Granny Pig, where is she?" the officer continued to ask.

"I brought it."

"Where?"

asked the officer, looking around.The people present were all leaders in armor, and they really couldn't see the appearance of people who fit the description of Granny Pig.The sound of dismounting and footsteps came from behind, like the voice of a man in heavy armor, and every step was accompanied by the sound of armor.He turned his head, only to see a man seven feet tall, covered in armor, covering his mouth and nose with an iron mask, he seemed to be unable to find a gap to prick a needle, holding an eight-foot simple knife, not to mention a heroic general, It can also be regarded as a statue of a warrior Yasha.

"Who are you, why are you hiding your face—"

"I'm the one you're looking for." She said, only hearing the hoarse voice, she knew it was a female general.

"We have people from the old battalion, but we can recognize her. Don't try to trick me." The officer said, winking for a young man to come forward.

"Recognize it carefully, but the pig mother-in-law raised by the general?"

The man was born five big and three thick, with fat head and big ears. He specialized in doing rough and tiring work in the military camp, and was also responsible for "feeding" and "care" the pig mother-in-law.

He looked up and down like a jumping god, and after observing Wen Liangyu for a while, he showed a mouthful of rotten teeth and smiled: "I moved the pig mother out of the pigsty, sprinkled water, fed them, pulled out the unbroken fingers and teeth, Even if it is covered so tightly, I can still recognize that the pig mother-in-law is the pig mother-in-law. We get along day and night, tortured every day, and are inseparable like husband and wife. I will never admit my mistake—”

His words made people unhappy, because this person is also a person who specializes in dirty work under Feng Ronghua, and if he doesn't talk about it, he will be himself, and he can't hide his picky appearance when he talks about it.But before he finished speaking, he received a stick on the face.Wen Liangyu beat the iron ring with a plain knife, and half of his teeth were scattered, his face turned red and he fell down.

The surrounding sergeants drew their swords one after another, but they were stopped by the female officer.

"Your general wants to catch me alive, right?" Wen Liangyu said, the hoarse voice came from inside the iron mask, it was extremely frightening. "That's convenient. When one of you has a laborer who ate too much and choked to death in the barracks." As she spoke, she stepped forward to the rogue, bowed her head and said, "Thanks to my care for the past two years, this I'll send you to get paid." As soon as he stepped on it, his boots turned red, and his head didn't look like a human head.The sergeants made a commotion again, but were stopped by the officer again and again.

"Get on your horse?" he said.He knew that Wen Liangyu's words were true, and he also knew that his wealth and life depended on her, because Wen Liangyu knew Fengronghua's manners well, so he dared to do so.When he got to Fengronghua's place, seeing that she dared to be so arrogant, he could only think so and endured all this.

"You are missing so many fingers on both hands, will this simple sword be forced?" Li Weiyi asked Wen Liangyu who was on the horse's back.

"I, Erniang Wen, put Pu Dao at ease." Wen Liangyu said.

"General Wen, I think your right hand is fine. It's inconvenient to use the simple knife with one hand. Why don't you use my lancet?" He asked, pulling the sheath of the lancet from his belt.

"You make my simple knife? Can you make it?"

"Sooner or later." Li Weiyi said with a smile.

"Well, it's up to you."

The two threw each other, changed their sabers, and then rode their horses and headed west together with the female straight soldiers.

***********************

Baishan, Ronghua army camp.

The soldiers carried a coffin into the big tent and went out directly.There were holes in the coffin, but they were not nailed.It didn't take long for the coffin lid to be pushed open with a weak force, only to see a pair of slender hands resting on the side of the coffin, and the girl in green robe struggled to crawl out of the coffin.

Fengronghua got up from her seat, and walked to the coffin.

"I'm sorry, that's how we prevent spies. You suffered all the way in the coffin except for food and drink." She said, and the girl who came out of the coffin was Fuko.

"You are..." Fukou was a little confused, she looked at the velvet flower for a while before she recognized it: "...Rellow flower? Is it you?"

"It's me, Sister Fuko, it's me." Feng Ronghua nodded, but she didn't have the same smile or gloom as before.

"It's really you? I just kept hearing that the queen called you back from Liaodong, and I never knew what happened to you all these years. I didn't expect that your appearance hasn't changed much." Excited, and then realized something was wrong.

"You...you ordered the attack on our camp?"

"Sorry, I delivered the letter, but none of my messengers came back." Feng Ronghua said, "I can only see you in this way. Don't worry, except for some people who resist, I have ordered you not to kill indiscriminately." , they are all captives now, and I will let them go later.”

"We thought those people were the Queen's spies... My... God, Ronghua, I really miss you." Fuko said so, and finally couldn't help the tears in her eyes.

"Sister Fukou, I miss you too." Feng Ronghua stepped forward and hugged Fukou together.

"How many years has it been since that parting?"

"More than ten years, I have missed you for more than ten years." Fuko separated from her, wiping her tears with her sleeve, "I heard that you came back from Liaodong, and I wanted to see you. I thought we would never see each other again in this life."

"Sister Fuko hasn't changed either."

"You said that when you grow up, you will become a tall and beautiful girl as tall as a dancer, but you haven't grown much now." Fuko wanted to laugh, but she was still crying.

"I think so too. It's just that it's not long, and people will always be regarded as childish." Feng Ronghua smiled wryly. "After that farewell, I have been writing to the Queen. She must not have told you, because I have also written a lot to you."

"The queen...has never told me."

"I heard you changed your last name"

"Yes," Fengronghua nodded, "Now I am called Fengronghua."

**********************

The word "ronghua" of Fengronghua was not given by Li Yisheng, but was given this original name since childhood.Her full name is Ai Xinronghua, she is the daughter of the Ai Xin family of the Entai clan, and a collateral branch of the Bugude White Eagle family.Because she is the same age as Sugi Sakura and a few months younger, she is regarded as the distant sister of Donatia and Sugi Sakura.She also likes to call them sister.

The Entai clan and Guijier clan are blood relatives, and Fengronghua and Fukou are the eldest daughters of their respective families, and because they play together since they are sensible, they are also young.Until one day when Fuko was six years old, her father had to separate them.Because the Guijier clan has a tradition of family slaves for generations, Fuko must be sent to the White Eagle family's family to serve as a maid for Kehan's heirs.The young Fengronghua cried for several days and nights, and almost lost her eyesight.Her parents were moved from the stalemate to the end, so they sent Fengronghua to the White Eagle Family's home as a "playmate". She was accepted by Kehan ​​at the time, and was also accepted by Dronatia.

Sugi Sakura didn't like Fengronghua since she was a child, because Fengronghua and Zhuonatia got along better, which made the princess jealous.The Entai clan is also a tribe closely related to Liaodong. Fengronghua has mastered Nuzhiyu and Central Plains dialect since she was a child, which made her get along very well with Li Yisheng, the private school teacher of the Baiying family at that time, and made Shanying even more jealous.Since she was six years old, Sugi Sakura always hit her for no reason, because she was just a playmate from a collateral family, and no one would uphold justice.But she felt nothing.Because she and Fuko are not separated, and she has a sister who cares about her, she feels very happy.

One day at that time, Fengronghua was 11 years old.

She rode with Fuko and found a solitary tree full of green apricots.Fuko wanted to go up to pick some, but Fengronghua asked her to wait, climbed up to pick and dropped it, Fuko picked them up one by one, wiped and put them away, the two were talking and laughing.

Not far away, Shan Ying came on horseback, saw Fu Kou, and went up with a smile to ask if there was any fun, and also saw Kazuki Qing Xing'er.Then when she saw Fengronghua, her eyes changed.

"I don't want to eat the apricots she picked." She said so, despite Fuko's persuasion, she insisted on climbing up that tree by herself, Fengronghua also panicked, and repeatedly begged her not to climb up, or she would fall and hurt herself.But as soon as she said it, Shan Ying became more motivated to climb up.She hadn't climbed many trees before, so she wasn't familiar with that feeling.Finally, he cut off the dead branch with one foot and hung it there.Fukou cried, Fengronghua hurriedly climbed over, pulling Shan Ying to let her step on the strong branch.

"I want you to be troublesome!" Shan Ying was frightened, and seeing that it was Fengronghua who saved her, she pushed her.Fengronghua's feet were unsteady, she fell to the ground, Qing Xing'er in the skirt of her clothes also fell to the ground, and there was no movement.

That should be the happiest time in Fengronghua's life so far, until that time when she was pushed off by Shan Ying from the tree.

She lay down for a long time because she hurt her back.It stands to reason that children are rarely injured when they fall from a high place. Maybe she should have died because she was light and just lay down for a long time.

Shanying's attitude has changed since then, she no longer speaks harshly to each other, and will come to see her in the yurt every day.Although he didn't talk much, he never apologized, and he always pulled his face.But Fengronghua knew that Shanying had apologized, so she was very satisfied.She doesn't blame anyone for this incident, the only regret is that she couldn't see the frowning smile of Qing Xing'er when she brought Qing Xing'er back and ate sour Xing'er together.

But not long after she was finally able to stand up and ride with them, things changed.

It is said that when Zhuonatia was 14 years old, she usurped the throne and killed her father, and then wiped out many old lords in the Bugude tribe who did not want to recognize her in western Liaoning, including the Entai clan.

In the First Battle of Liaoxi, the Entai clan was completely wiped out by the Bugude army led by Zhuonatia, and the remaining old and weak women and children were reduced to slaves and sold.The Guigil clan did not help any party, but it also lost its previous influence, and could no longer bring Fuko back to get rid of her maidservant status.

Only two of the Entai clan survived, that is, Fengronghua, and her father who was preparing to pick her up with his entourage in the old camp of Bugude.The father and daughter were immediately arrested and brought under control.

Feng Ronghua didn't know what mistake she had made at the time.What does what the Entai clan did have anything to do with her?Until Zhuonatia personally ordered the two of them to be exiled to the deep mountains, old forests and snowy seas in western Liaoning, she couldn't figure out what crime she was guilty of.Before she was taken away by the sergeant, she cried and asked Dronatia what crime she was guilty of, but Dronatia ignored her as if she had never known her.That indifferent look deeply hurt Fengronghua's heart.

************************

"It turns out that Mr. Yisheng died just like that." Feng Ronghua and Fukou sat together, talking about the past. "Who told you this?"

"The queen said it herself, but I know it's definitely not the case. Mr. Yisheng has something to hide. The queen has to bear the reputation of killing her, so we don't know the truth." Fukou said.

"What is the relationship between Li Ningsheng and Li Yisheng?" She continued to ask.

"Did you see Li Ningsheng?" Fu Kou was a little surprised, "I heard that she died, and I heard her brother rescued her from you. I couldn't tell which was true, so I asked her brother to put the 'Li Ningsheng 'send over."

"Her brother—is that Li Weiyi?" Feng Ronghua's face seemed to be gloomy for a moment, but then quickly recovered, "Her brother is not lying, I have indeed been holding Li Ningsheng all the time."

"Why did you do this?" Fuko was a little surprised, "She...is not a bad person, and the Queen likes her very much."

"I don't think she's a good person, that's all."

"Before Princess Shanying rescued us, she also wanted to save us. Before Princess Shanying dedicated herself to saving the queen, it is said that she also came from her hometown in the Central Plains to serve the captured queen. I think this is enough to explain her intentions. " Fuko said, "Also, I always think...she is a good girl."

"We still think that Mr. Yisheng is a good person, but do you know that Mr. Yisheng's father, Mr. Li Fu, is a well-known rebel from Dalu's political strategist?"

"Sleep told you this again?" Fuko asked suspiciously, "This is the first time I've heard about sister Yisheng's family."

"Li Fu went north specifically to challenge Kaiyuanwei, that is, Bugude. I knew that afterwards, I felt that Mr. Yisheng was robbed and killed by the Hutan Ministry. It was all a bureau, in order to force the queen to seize the throne and rebel. " Feng Ronghua said, "This is what my godfather, Dalu's Liaodong General Feng Yuliang told me."

"How do you know about her family?"

"Li Fu's rebellion was caused by the queen's rebellion, and the Li family in Danning Mansion was ransacked and beheaded. It was a big event that everyone knew in Dalu back then. Except for their second son who joined the frontier army—wait," Feng Ronghua suddenly realized. "So that's it. Li Weiyi is Li Ningsheng's elder brother. I said what's wrong, and I said what's wrong. Li Ningsheng is from the Li family. The survivor of the Li family is not only Li Weiyi, but also her. No wonder she is so similar to Mr. Yisheng, no wonder The queen likes her."

"What's the matter? Fluffy flower?" Seeing her excited look, Fuko was a little worried.

"Li Ningsheng and Li Yisheng are a family, they are sisters! I said that Li Ningsheng is not a good person. It turns out that he is taking over her sister's work and continuing to set up a trap for the Queen." Feng Ronghua said.

"But... Li Ningsheng was taken away by the Bode people at the age of eight, and she was a slave for more than ten years. When she met us, she didn't even know who the queen was, and she was still with the An people. It is unlikely that she would be kidnapped at such a young age. Does the church do those things?"

"..." Fengronghua also realized this. During the two years of imprisoning Li Ningsheng, she also asked about her past.Indeed, this makes no sense at all.

"Strange, is it just a coincidence that Li Ningsheng came to Bugude?" Feng Ronghua frowned, really couldn't believe this conclusion.

****************************

After Feng Ronghua and her father were exiled to Liaodong, they lived a life worse than pigs and dogs in Bugude's post.It wasn't until their outpost was ransacked by Nvzhi's Yetai tribe, and the two became prisoners again, that life turned around.

In order to save his life, Fengronghua's father wanted to give Fengronghua to the leader of the Yetai tribe as a concubine on the grounds that he was a cuckold nobleman in exchange for a little position.Fengronghua was 13 years old that year, and she couldn't believe her ears no matter what.

"It's your first time here, and having children is not a problem." Her father said this, but Feng Ronghua couldn't believe that her father would become so ugly after going through these lives.

Ugly, because he knows the Central Plains dialect and has read a lot of Central Plains books.In her eyes, the father who has become submissive and begging for mercy is the ugly kind in the world.

"Father, we can go back, don't do this!"

No matter how much she begged, Feng Ronghua felt the collapse of the world for the first time.She picked up the knife, but her father laughed.

"You want to kill your father too? You want to imitate that bastard Dronatia?" he said.His face was contorted and his eyes were bloodshot. "As long as you bear with it, you will have the power and power, and your father will be able to have soldiers and power. Only in this way can you return to the grassland and settle accounts with them! The Entai clan will not perish!"

Obviously Fengronghua was holding the knife, but was forced back step by step by her mad father.She finally touched the wall of the yurt, and there was no way to retreat.

"It's not that I'm a matchmaker, we're still soaking in the rain in the woods! Sacrifice it, sacrifice it for the great cause!"

"Father……"

Feng Ronghua lowered her hand holding the knife, her father smiled and did not force her anymore.

At this moment, Feng Ronghua suddenly raised the knife again, and turned the tip of the knife to face herself.His father's eyes widened immediately, and he reached out to grab the knife, fearing that she would commit suicide.

But Fengronghua did not aim at his chest, but aimed at his lower abdomen, and then stabbed down.

There was a scream, but it was not from Fengronghua, but from his father.He knelt on the ground, as if he had been wounded by a knife, as if the pain was unspeakable.Fengronghua didn't stop, and cut again horizontally, before throwing the red-stained dagger on the ground, which also stained the carpet.A bright red spread continuously on the robe on her abdomen, and his father stretched his hands towards her lower abdomen, as if he wanted to hold something up, as if some treasure had been destroyed.

"What did you do!" He continued to scream, Feng Ronghua clutched her wound, and fell to the ground leaning against the wall.She pointed at her father and laughed.Laughed terribly, until the sound broke.Laughing until the female guards who didn't attract her father's screams broke into the yurt, they were stunned.

Feng Ronghua's father seemed to wake up from a dream. Before the guards could do anything, he picked up the dagger on the ground and wiped his neck.Fengronghua's father died, and the female straight soldiers sent the seriously injured Fengronghua to the doctor.They applied herbal remedies, used a branding iron and incense ash to stop the bleeding, and sewed up the wound with rough twine.She didn't know if it was therapy or if it was punishment for what she had done.She was so painful that she passed out and woke up again, said all the words to beg for mercy, and cried until her throat was silent.

Fengronghua survived, but no more trouble.She became the tent slave of Chief Ye Tai, but she still couldn't avoid the fate she wanted to avoid.But her days did not last long, because the Yetai tribe did not follow the rules Feng Yuliang set for the female straight tribes. In the fourth month after Feng Ronghua was captured, Feng Yuliang led [-] Liaodong cavalry and Thousands of female direct signing troops besieged the village of the Yetai tribe.

The leader of the Yetai tribe always lived in his own wooden house, and sent orders in letters written by women, or sent maids and tent slaves to his wooden house.He doesn't trust anyone.

Feng Yuliang's army besieged the stockade, and the leader of Yetai, Chuanzhi, withdrew the army to the mountain, and met the enemy with heavy steps, long bamboo spears, bows and arrows.After resisting Feng Yuliang's attack for several days, Feng Yuliang exchanged steps for cavalry to attack, and the leader Ye Tai ordered to use huge stones as roadblocks to block the road up the mountain, and to attack and kill climbing soldiers with bows and arrows.Feng Yuliang was also blocked from attacking for several days, and nearly hundreds of soldiers fell from the mountain and were shot to death during the fierce battle.Feng Yuliang became furious and called craftsmen from Liaodong Bingzhen to take wooden crossbows and catapults to attack with oil bombs.However, because of the rainy season, the rain continued, and everything was wet and cold, so it was still unable to cause a fire.

There was also a constant stench in the leader's wooden house, and finally the guards opened the door after interrogation to no avail, only to find that the leader had been dead for a long time, and died of being wiped off by porcelain crumbs.There was no one else in the house, only Fengronghua who was sent as a tent slave.Although they couldn't believe that Fengronghua was in charge of the battle for several days, they still tied her up and sent her down the mountain, and surrendered Feng Yuliang at the same time, and the fierce battle was over.

No matter what, Feng Yuliang felt that Feng Ronghua, a young child, had directed the resistance for the past few days, which was unbelievable.But after a little inquiry, I found that Fengronghua was completely familiar with the details of the battles in the past few days, and she was not afraid of Feng Yuliang at all, so she could talk calmly and unhurriedly.Feng Yuliang felt that she must not be the daughter of an ordinary family. After asking, he learned of her extraordinary background and what happened to her.

As if he had found a treasure, he knew that this child was a genius, so he said that he intended to recognize her as his daughter.Feng Ronghua agreed, and immediately worshiped Feng Yuliang as her father, and abandoned the surname Ai Xin, and changed her name to Fengronghua from then on.

"Whatever daughter wants, tell daddy." Feng Yuliang said, he decided to train her to be a general from now on, treating her as his own, it will be of great use.Fengronghua shook her head at all kinds of questions, and just said: "The remaining 1000 people captured by the Yetai tribe, can they all be tied to the trees in the forest?"

"Why is that so?" Feng Yuliang asked puzzled.

"Father ordered people to bind all the traitors, and my daughter killed them one by one." Feng Ronghua said calmly, as if he was talking about something very ordinary.Feng Yuliang was greatly shocked, but he saw the scar on Fengronghua's lower abdomen, and thought that if she didn't agree, she might kill herself directly. Wouldn't it be a big loss to lose a wizard in this way, so he agreed .

He originally wanted to establish benevolence by recovering Yetai tribe's forgiveness, but now at Feng Ronghua's request, he had to change to Liwei. More than 1000 men and women veterans were all tied to the trees in the forest, and Fengronghua entered with guards, holding daggers.

Not many people saw what it was like in the forest that day, and no one knew what the people who were killed said.But it is said that Feng Ronghua killed for three days while resting, discarded several daggers, and laughed non-stop, while the guards vomited non-stop and were in a daze for several days.

Since then, no one is not afraid of Fengronghua.

************************************

"You have suffered...but...the rumors are all true..." Fuko stroked her lower abdomen, where the scar was.He covered his mouth in surprise. "Why do you come back, do you want to avenge her?"

"No, no, sister Fuko, don't be afraid of me, I will do what I have to do." She said, "I never hated her, I don't hate sister Dronatia, I don't hate Shanying either, I have plenty I don't have the chance to kill them, isn't that enough?" Fengronghua said, holding her hand, but Fukou withdrew it.

"You've changed...Ronghua, you've changed." She stood up, "What exactly do you want to do when you come back? What do you want to do when you come to me?"

"Sister Fuko, I really have no other intentions. I don't want to hurt any of you. I already feel that enough is enough, enough damage and blood." She said, and suddenly bowed her waist, "I can't practice Fighting, because I have an old disease on my waist, and maybe I can’t grow tall because of my old disease. Sister Zhuonatia is still very indifferent to me now, so is Sister Shanying, and Sister Fuko, even you want to abandon me? I think Going back to the past, I want to beg any of you to give me back my past life, but I don’t know who to ask, who took it away?!” She straightened up again, “You don’t have any, Even a little bit, do you feel sorry for me?!" Her words were filled with tears, and her trembling voice came from the bottom of her heart.

"Ronghua... I didn't mean that." Hearing her words, Fuko blamed herself, "Everyone has experienced too much these years, I know, I shouldn't blame anyone, because it's helpless." She As she spoke, she walked forward, and Feng Ronghua hugged her.

"I let Sister Shan Ying go, she will go to her Anzu friends, and maybe come to trouble me." Feng Ronghua said, hugging Fukou tightly.

"I can go to persuade the eldest princess, she will listen to me, and we won't have to fight each other, never again."

"I really wish it could be like that. I would go to war even to see you. I thought that no one would listen to me anymore. Thank you, Sister Fuko, you let me know that at least I am not alone now."

"I will persuade Princess Shanying to go back." Fuko said.

"You will, you will deliver the message, you will be the message."

Fukou opened her eyes wide, Feng Ronghua still hugged her tightly, blood continued to spread on Fukou's green robe, her eyes were still wide open, there was only air out of her mouth, no air in.

"Shh, it's almost over, it's almost over." Feng Ronghua patted her shoulder comfortingly.Fukou slowly lost her support and strength, and collapsed to the ground, collapsed in Fengronghua's arms.

She tossed her saber aside, blood splattering the carpet red.Fengronghua trembled after closing the eyes that were still puzzled and heartbroken.

She was laughing, a horrifying, stern laugh, a heart-piercing laugh.
