Spicy rivers and lakes!

When Li Dongqing woke up, he was covered with two quilts. He woke up dry, his throat was on fire, and his head was still dizzy when he sat up. He heard the sound of horses running and shouting outside. There was half the bottom of the bowl of water, and he drank it in one gulp. It had a mixed taste, and his thirst was not quenched by three points.From the tent, he saw the faint light of the fire outside. He felt that it was night, and someone might come to deliver food later. He closed his eyes and fell asleep again.

This time I didn't sleep very peacefully, I kept dreaming, dreaming that Lin Xueniang held his cheek with her hands, and said: "It's hard for my son."

Li Dongqing sat up anxiously, climbed onto her lap, and said, "Mother, I want to go back to Qilao Village."

"Is it not good outside?" Lin Xueniang asked.

"Golden nest and silver nest are not as good as your own doghouse," Li Dongqing said, "People outside look down on me, and I don't want to stay here anymore."

Lin Xueniang said confusedly: "Where is the old village where is your home?"

Li Dongqing cried: "Then where else can I go? I don't have a home?"

Lin Xueniang said: "You are from the royal family. Which emperor have you met who called his Weiyang Palace home? My son, the royal family has no home. God gave you the world."

Li Dongqing: "The world is not mine either."

Lin Xueniang took his hand and said: "Son, you are different from others. You don't have what other people are born with. From today onwards, you have to fight for it by yourself, and you have to work hard to grab it, so that you can be with others." Live the same life, son, don't cry, from today on, you can't cry anymore."

Li Dongqing shook her head repeatedly, desperately said: "I don't want to, I don't want to!"

"If you don't want to, think about it," Lin Xueniang said, "I don't want to see you as a slave! You sit up and recite that poem for mother again."

Li Dongqing didn't want to recite it, Lin Xueniang urged him repeatedly, pushed him away from her, Su Rong said: "Recite it again."

Li Dongqing had no choice but to sit upright on her knees, with a crying voice, and said in a loud voice: "When the strong wind rises, the clouds fly——Vega and the sea, and return to the hometown——Andy warriors, guard the four directions."

Lin Xueniang happily embraced him again and said, "My son."

Li Dongqing could only choke up.

Lin Xueniang's chest was cold, and her hair was like withered grass, she said: "You are a descendant of Gaozu, and God will protect you, son, I am not your mother, but my heart for you can be learned from heaven and earth, I have no children, Treating you as your own child, even if you are your own mother, how much can you do? Mother doesn’t want you to be safe and successful, but this is beyond my wish! Mother also wants you to live a happy life in Qilao Village , but we think, some people don't want to, you have no way out!"

Li Dongqing felt that she was slowly disappearing, and eagerly grabbed her hand: "Mother!"

Lin Xueniang said: "Mother will bless you and curse all those who hurt you. Mother will always watch over you!"

Li Dongqing burst into tears, and Lin Xueniang also said eagerly: "I have to wake up—this sleep, I can't sleep anymore!"

"Son!" Lin Xueniang said, "Mother loves you!"

After saying this, Lin Xueniang disappeared like the wind, and Li Dongqing couldn't find her everywhere, so she buried her head on the ground and burst into tears.

But there was another wind blowing from the surrounding area. Li Dongqing raised his head and saw green grass all around him. He was on the plain with a pony behind him.

Uncle Huang asked him, "Have your parents settled down?"

As soon as Li Dongqing opened his mouth, he realized that his voice was immature, and said, "Oh, yes."

Uncle Huang said: "Life is a matter of life and death, so don't be too sad."

Li Dongqing didn't remember this day anymore. When his parents died, the grief was so intense that he couldn't remember anything later, and he didn't dare to recall, so what happened during that time was actually vague.

Uncle Huang sat on the grass, patted the side, motioned him to sit down, and said, "Everyone is going to die."

Li Dongqing stared at the village below the mountain bewilderedly, tears flowed down again, and wiped it with his sleeve. Uncle Huang said, "Oh, don't cry."

"I'm sorry for you," Li Dongqing said, "Uncle Huang, are you still alive?"

Uncle Huang asked inexplicably, "What?"

Li Dongqing said: "Don't smuggle any more, people will die."

Uncle Huang scolded him in the language of the Huns. Li Dongqing smiled through his tears. Uncle Huang said: "The Huns have had a hard time these two days. Emperor Jing sent a real princess to marry him. The son born by the princess was named Yu Dan. The relationship with Da Shanyu's other son Yi Zhixie is not very good, Da Shanyu seems to like Yu Shan more and let him be the heir apparent."

Li Dongqing suddenly turned to look at him, Uncle Huang said: "What are you doing? Why are you looking at me?"

Li Dongqing said dully, "Uncle Huang, you..."

"?" Uncle Huang said, "What's the matter?"

But Li Dongqing understood what Uncle Huang was wandering between Daijun and the Xiongnu all the year round for several months.Is that why?

Before he left Qilao Village, Uncle Huang had suggested several times that he wanted to take him out together, and he might have other ideas.Li Dongqing couldn't help being at a loss, looking at the man, feeling guilty and ashamed.

Uncle Huang said: "Why don't you understand? Everyone is going to die! You and I have to die, it's just a matter of dying sooner or later! Don't cry!"

"Oh," Li Dongqing said, "Got it."

Uncle Huang said irritably, "Counseling my son!"

Li Dongqing thought: "But why do you still put your mind on me, a coward?"

"Wake up." Uncle Huang suddenly said this sentence without thinking.

Li Dongqing looked up, and Uncle Huang said, "Is it hard to guess what Ning Hechen is thinking! Think about the situation between Yi Zhixie and you! Don't you understand?"

Li Dongqing was about to speak, but Uncle Huang grabbed his shoulder and shook him vigorously: "Wake up!"

He suddenly opened his eyes, and the voices around him were heard in an instant. When he slowly woke up, he saw Yi Zhixie standing on top of him, looking down at him, and King Loufan and several captains beside him.But Ning and Chen were not seen.

Li Dongqing sat up slowly, his hands and feet were still tied, which was not convenient, and said, "What are you doing?"

Yi Zhixie said, "Can you still sleep?"

Li Dongqing understood this sentence in Chinese, and he said, "Because I'm sick."

Yi Zhixie sneered, maybe mocking his fragility, Li Dongqing was used to seeing their aloofness, and thought: "Say the same thing every day, isn't it boring?"

Yi Zhixie said: "A prince of the Han Dynasty, is this the only kind of virtue? He developed a high fever in just one night."

Li Dongqing: "..."

Yi Zhixie said: "Speak!"

"I am not the prince of the Han Dynasty," Li Dongqing said. "You know, the prince of the Han Dynasty can only be made by the emperor's son. Now the son of Emperor Wu is in Wei Zifu's belly and has not yet been born. I am the emperor. Nephew! It's useless if you catch me."

Yi Zhixie: "I know."

Li Dongqing asked suspiciously, "Then what are you doing?"

Yi Zhixie sat down, let the people around him go down, and said to him, "Because Liu Che's emperor has not been long."

"Oh." Li Dongqing thought, "Another lunatic."

Yi Zhixie said: "He is promoting a new coup, and he has angered the old lady in the East Palace. The old lady is already looking for a new crown prince. The whole world is looking for you, but you are in my hands. Haha!"

Li Dongqing wanted to speak, but suddenly, suddenly!He understood Uncle Huang's words that Yi Zhixie was Shan Yu's heir apparent, he was ambitious, and naturally wanted to make peace with Yu Shan, that's why he was so thirsty for talent, he wanted Ning Hechen and Li Dongqing.Since Yi Zhixie came here today, it must be because he didn't intend to assign him, but wanted to use him to control the Central Plains.But now Li Dongqing has been forced to be in the center of the vortex, with countless interests hanging over him, he is no longer something he can easily take away!This is clearly Ning Hechen's plan. Ning Hechen wants to let the two forces that robbed Li Dongqing kill each other, and let the soldiers and horses of the Central Plains go deep into Heshuo. Neither the Central Plains nor the Xiongnu Grassland could sit idly by, and Ning and Chen would just sit back and reap the benefits.

Li Dongqing suddenly understood everything.Of course Ning Hechen can't go to Yanmen, now going to Yanmen, there is only one dead end!People all over the world are waiting to encircle them there.

Yi Zhixie said, "What do you think?"

On the one hand, Li Dongqing didn't pay attention, on the other hand, he couldn't understand what he was saying, so he asked, "What? What are you talking about?"

Yi Zhixie said bluntly, "Fuck with me!"

"I..." Of course Li Dongqing could only agree, "Okay, aren't you going to assign me to herd sheep?"

Yi Zhixie said, "Who are you with?"

Li Dongqing was a little dazed again: "Ah? What is it with who, isn't it with you?"

At this moment, King Lou Fan's voice suddenly sounded outside the tent, saying, "Ning and Chen are here."

Yi Zhixie's expression moved, just this slight movement made Li Dongqing finally understand this sentence, he wanted to ask, Ning Hechen and me, who are you with.

Yi Zhixie is so smart.He already knew that this piece of fat was hot, so he wanted to break the situation between Ning and Chen.If Li Dongqing is directly brought under his command, what if the Central Plains soldiers and horses come over?Who can take away a heart that wants to stay in the grassland?

Yi Zhixie glanced at Li Dongqing, implying a warning, and then said in Hun language: "Let him in."

Ning Hechen turned over the account and entered it, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the prince is here too."

"Oh," Yi Zhixie said, "I'm about to leave. I heard that the prisoner has a fever. Let me see if he is dead."

Ning Hechen also took a look at Li Dongqing, and said, "It seems that he is still alive and well."

Yi Zhixie: "Are you coming...?"

"Let's see if he's dead." Ning Hechen said casually.

The two spoke the Hun language, but Li Dongqing couldn't intervene, so she fell silent after hearing a few words from the two, and sat side by side in front of him, the three of them looked at each other, Li Dongqing: "?"

He seems to have subsided the high fever, and now he feels sore and weak in his limbs, his eyelids are swollen high, and his eyes are extremely sore. After staring at them for a while, he felt that he might not be able to fight his body, so he found a pillow and leaned on the short bed. table, and leaned his head on it.

Yi Zhixie said: "This king is gone." But he didn't intend to stand up.

Ning Hechen probably scolded Yi Zhixie countless times in his heart, so he stood up in a good temper and said, "I suddenly remembered that I still have something to do, so let's take a step first."

Yi Zhixie immediately said: "No more."

Li Dongqing thought it was funny, Ning Hechen gave him a blank look when he left, turned around and left.

Yi Zhixie was finally able to get to the point, and said solemnly: "The Huns and the Han people both come from one family, and they are both survivors of the Xia Dynasty. After the Great Xia, the war tore the earth apart and separated the flesh and blood. It must be painful, too."

This sentence was spoken so smoothly and beautifully that Li Dongqing reasonably suspected that he had memorized it in advance.

Yi Zhixie said again: "Over the past [-] years of war, my son of the Huns died of shame due to heavy soldiers. Countless sons died at the hands of the Han people, and your father also died at the hands of the Han people. We have the same Fate and enemies."

Li Dongqing knew that at this time, there was nothing she could do except nod her head in agreement.

"You and I, the Xiongnu and the Han," Yi Zhixie said, "there is no enmity. But the Xiongnu royal family and the Han Dynasty royal family have a bloody enmity. If one day, the enmity between the royal family is resolved, the Huns and Han people can also share a peaceful and prosperous age. "

Li Dongqing said: "You mean that you want to rule the world, and Hu and Han are interlinked."

Yi Zhixie: "That's exactly what I mean."

Li Dongqing praised: "Good."

Yi Zhixie laughed, and that aura of righteousness and evil emerged again, and said, "Would you like to be with me?"

Li Dongqing didn't dare to agree too easily, so she said: "I don't have any skills, I'm afraid it will delay your plan, let me think about it again."

After Yi Zhixie persuaded her a few more words, Li Dongqing's attitude relaxed a bit, and she still said, "I'll give you an answer tomorrow."

Yi Zhixie said: "Seventy years ago, the great ancestor Liu Bang couldn't shake our army and asked a woman to beg for peace. In the eyes of my Huns, the court of the Han Dynasty had already knelt on the ground and could not get up. Why is there such a dynasty? ?!"

"Yesterday, Xueman said that 'a good bird chooses a tree to live in'," he said earnestly, "you should also think about it."

Li Dongqing moved and said, "That's right."

He was surprised that Yi Zhixie was young, but his imperial skills were really good, but he just couldn't figure out why Da Shanyu didn't love him, but wanted to stand alone in Shanyu?

Yi Zhixie felt good and satisfied, so she finally left.This sitting is two hours!It was already dark outside, and this was Li Dongqing's third night in the court of the Huns.

Li Dongqing was so hungry that his stomach was empty, and Yi Zhixie sat for so long, no one dared to come in to disturb him, so no one brought food. Li Dongqing was just recovering from a serious illness, hungry and thirsty, and was about to faint from hunger!

A black figure flashed past outside Wang's tent, the tent door was opened a small crack, Ning and Chen turned in silently, and threw him a pancake.

Li Dongqing took it, quickly stuffed it into his mouth, and asked, "Water?"

Ning Hechen took out a small pot from his arms and threw it to him again.Li Dongqing said, "Why are you angry? I didn't ask you to wait outside."

Ning Hechen turned around and was about to leave, but Li Dongqing hurried to pull him back, and coaxed: "Thank you very much! Thank you very much, without you I would starve to death, brother worked so hard for waiting for me for so long."

Only then did Ning Hechen reluctantly sit down again.

Li Dongqing said: "The past three days have been like a dream for me."

"What did he tell you?" Ning Hechen asked casually.

Li Dongqing: "Ask me if I want to hang out with him."

"Oh." Ning Hechen probably guessed what he was going to say, and sneered.He didn't even ask Li Dongqing what he said.

"I didn't dare to refuse." Li Dongqing gobbled it up and took another sip of water. The water was placed on Ning Hechen's chest and it was still warm. This was the first warm thing he ate since he came here. "Say wait wait."

Ning Hechen said, "You can do whatever you want."

Li Dongqing suddenly laughed, Ning Hechen frowned and said, "What are you laughing at?"

Li Dongqing said: "Laugh at you."

"You clearly know that I won't agree, but you are just delaying the time," Li Dongqing said, "and you said you want me to do whatever you want."

Ning Hechen said, "I just want you to do whatever you want."

Li Dongqing: "?"

"No one is forcing you to do whatever you want. If you really want to be a slave, it's okay," Ning Hechen said, "It's fine to stay in the grassland."

Li Dongqing was a little stunned, Ning Hechen said: "After this, you will be free, I don't care about you, just do whatever you want."

Li Dongqing was still staring blankly at Ning and Chen, and what came before joy was daze.He remembered Lin Xueniang's earnest expectations for him in the dream, and remembered the song "Great Wind Song".Free, is it free?

Ning Hechen said, "Eat."

"Ning Hechen," Li Dongqing said, "you never tell me what's on your mind, so do you know what's on my mind?"

Ning Hechen said, "Who told you to call me by my first name?"

"What's that called?" Li Dongqing asked.

Ning Hechen said, "What do you call people my age in your village?"

"Brother." Li Dongqing said.

"Yes." Ning Hechen said dispensable.

"People in this world are so boring," Ning Hechen answered his question again, "So I don't think about anything at night. You should sleep too."
