A crow in the desert

Hearing this, their blood boiled with excitement, and they struck their shields with swords one after another, swearing allegiance.

Amidst the shouts, Li Su left with his horse, and the three fast horses galloped along the official road.

He was destined to be the heir to the throne when he was born, and he had to bear the high expectations of King Loulan and the people. In such an atmosphere, his words and deeds have always been strict and restrained, never daring to overstep.When he grew up, his personality became a little extreme, sometimes calm and introverted, sometimes moody.Therefore, he fell out of favor with his father.And Li Yue, who has been free from restraint since he was a child, is very talented and sharp, and he is very popular.The differences between the brothers also arose from this.

The three horses galloped for more than 100 miles, and the sandy road under the moonlight was like silver and water.Two hours later, Li Su suddenly saw a small mound of dirt beside the road, and there seemed to be someone in the mound, hurriedly reining in the reins. The horse neighed, fell to the ground, and spit foam profusely.

He jumped off the horse and turned back, carefully looked at the sleeping person in the mound, and said with a smile, "It really is you, my feeling is unmistakable." He stretched out his hand to push the crow.

Crow was dreaming that he was walking in the heavy snow, feeling cold, sleepy and hungry, when suddenly he was patted twice on the cheek, he opened his eyes, and saw a young man under the moonlight, with a handsome appearance and a delicate spirit.

The crow hurriedly got up, patted the dirt on his body, was stunned for a while, and then bowed: "Where did you come from, brother? Why are you here late at night?"

Li Su smiled slightly and didn't answer, just looked at him.

The crow was a bit puzzled by him, although the man came suddenly, but the crow actually had a good impression of him: "Do I recognize you?"

"My surname is Li, Muzi Li." Li Su changed his voice, speaking in a hoarse and cowardly voice like a dog, and then said with a smile: "I am Li Su."

It took the crow a while to react, and took a few steps back, sighing again and again: "Are you two playing some role-playing game?"

Li Su smiled wryly: "The game of Shuanglong seizing the heir."

Crow thought about the situation of the past few days, and suddenly felt depressed: "I was deceived by you so hard."

"No matter how much you take care of me, I came here late at night today to take Your Excellency to a place." Li Su said, two attendants came on horseback, got off their horses and saluted.Li Su's horse was exhausted and died, but the horses of the two attendants could still hold on.

Seeing him coming in such a hurry, the crow was also very curious about the place he said, so he got on the horse with him, and the two walked side by side in the bridle.The attendants behind him buried the horses and followed from a distance.

Li Su just came up on the spur of the moment and wanted to take the crow to see the legendary desert flower sea. Now that he saw the crow, he was not in a hurry to go back.Although the flowers will wither in the early morning, he would rather the road be endless.

At the beginning, Crow was still mouth shut, brooding over the fact that he had been deceived, but he couldn't hold back Li Su's soft words, he was not a stingy person himself, and the two quickly chatted and laughed happily.Li Su asked him where he planned to go.Crow hesitated: "I want to go back to find my master, and I also want to visit Jinling."

Li Su smiled slyly: "Look at your sweetheart?"

The crow was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly became angry and annoyed. He grabbed the horsewhip indiscriminately, waved it at Li Su, and cursed: "You bastard tartar, if you talk nonsense again, I will tear your mouth off." Then he said bitterly: "I'm blind!" It’s only with eyes that you can speak from your heart.”

Li Su couldn't help secretly regretting that he shouldn't have joked about his sadness, so he changed the conversation again and talked about the customs and various delicacies of the Western Regions.He is usually silent, but when he really wants to speak, he is witty and humorous.

Crow listened attentively at first, but after a while he became suspicious, turned to look at him, and said, "Hey, are you really a dog?"

Li Su poked his face over and told him to look carefully, and explained: "When changing my appearance, I deliberately widened the nose, filled the cheekbones, and shaved off the eyebrows, but the eyes will not change. Yes, look." With a pair of deep eyes open, they almost approached the crow's face.

Crow lowered his head: "You either don't look at people, or do you just look at people like this?"

Li Su had no choice but to apologize again, although he had never apologized to anyone since he was so old.

"When I was Ah Gou, I didn't make eye contact with people because I was afraid that people would find my eyes."

Crow nodded: "A person with such a pair of eyes is indeed very eye-catching." He thought again, no wonder when he saw Li Yue before, he felt a little familiar.Both brothers have the same beautiful eyes.

The two of them talked and walked away, but they didn't realize that the east was turning white. Li Su repeatedly sighed, and the crow asked why, Li Su explained: "I want to take you to see the sea of ​​flowers, but when the sun shines, those flowers will wither. Fearing that the crow would not believe it, he raised his hand and swore that he really saw the flowers blooming in the desert.

The crow smiled and said, "You drove thousands of miles to find me in the middle of the night, I believe you. Since you have seen it, tell me about it, and it will be as if I have seen it."

After hearing this, Li Su quickly restrained his expression, organized his words solemnly, and spoke softly and eloquently.

The crow smiled and listened quietly, only feeling very surprised in his heart, why this man of foreign race was so gentle to him.I heard earlier that his brothers and the pack of wolves were called the Three Evils of the Northwest.The pack of wolves didn't see it, Li Yue was indeed very fierce, but this Li Su was extremely refined and gentle, not like what the outside world said.

Thinking of this, the crow shook his head slightly.Li Su asked, "Is what I said wrong?"

"No," Crow said hurriedly, "I just feel that you are different from the legend."

Li Su was silent for a while, and then said: "Outsiders say that I am fierce, cruel, and moody. This is true, and my father also said that about me."

Hearing his strange tone, the crow quickly turned to look at him.In the twilight of the morning, his face turned pale slightly, his lips were tightly pressed together, as if trying to suppress his emotions.

The crow said softly: "The words of others may not be accurate. I say that you are a man who is sincere, compassionate and righteous."

Li Su showed a smile: "You don't flatter people, but what you say makes people feel very comfortable." After speaking, he twisted a long arrow from the quiver on the saddle, took off the long bow, drew it fully, and shot it with a swish.

The crow just talked to him, but suddenly he came here and was taken aback. Looking around, he saw chaos in front of him.

A young man was riding a black horse, holding the arrow with one hand, looking at the two of them from a distance, smiling.

Tenderness wrong pay

Li Yue rode up to the two of them, a foot away from each other.At the same time, dozens of soldiers surrounded Li Su and Wu Ya with their bows and arrows. As long as Li Yue gave an order, they shot them into hedgehogs.

Li Yue first looked at Li Su triumphantly, then glanced at the crow, and said displeasedly: "Why are you here, what good does my elder brother promise you?"

The crow glanced at Li Su.Li Su didn't look at him, but looked straight at Li Yue: "The matter between the two of us has nothing to do with him."

Li Yue snorted.

Li Su looked around and saw that most of his soldiers were killed in battle, their bodies exposed in the wilderness, and a few vultures were circling around, ready to land at any time.

"Brother, your cooking is good, but you can't lead the army to fight. The grandson who has been pretending for so long in Sanwu finally sent troops to fight back. I wiped them all out before walking a few kilometers. How do you feel now?" Li said. Laugh more playfully.

Li Su bowed his head and said nothing, loosened his wrist, and dropped his saber. He smiled wryly: "I'm not as good as you, so there's nothing to say." He glanced at the crow and said softly, "Go."

The crow was enveloped by his gentle and sad eyes, and was startled for a moment.He was a master who would take the soft but not the hard, and he would not give in if someone put a steel knife on his neck. If he showed a pitiful look, he would be aroused to be chivalrous.

The crow pointed at Li Su, and said to Li Yue, "You have already killed your elder brother's soldier, and now he is alone and poses no threat to you. Let him go."

Li Yue said coldly: "What do you know? He is a prince. With this name alone, he can gather half of the citizens in Loulan. His life is the biggest threat to me."

Li Su listened and stared at Li Yue.Li Yue avoided his gaze and looked away.

The two are five points similar in appearance, Li Su is calm and elegant, with a personable demeanor.Li Yue is beautiful and childish, smart and lively.There is not much difference in age between the two of them, and they played and played mischievously together when they were young, but as they grew up, they had more and more differences, and finally became strangers.

The crow looked at this, then at that, and felt that the two of them had entered a deadlock.The crow said: "You two princes, I passed by your land by chance and have no intention of meddling in your country's disputes. May I leave first?"

Li Yue raised his chin and smiled: "You are a man of current affairs, let's go." He mobilized the horse's head, and the soldiers behind him also pushed away a few steps to make way for him.

The crow nodded politely to Li Su, put his legs between the horse's belly, and left leisurely.When he passed Li Yue by mistake, his figure suddenly jumped up, and he jumped into the air. With an extra dagger in his hand, he tightly strangled Li Yue's neck with one hand, landed on the horse's back, and shouted loudly: "Stand back!"

Li Yue's neck was red from being strangled, his eyes were turned up, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Don't back down, kill him!"

Li Su pulled out the treasured knife in his sleeve very quickly, walked up and pointed the tip of the knife at Li Yue's heart, with a little force, a splash of blood wetted the skirt of his clothes, and he said lightly: "You don't dare to kill a crow, I will kill you!" But dare."

Li Yue naturally knew how hot his brother's thoughts were, and his face turned pale immediately. Although he was not reconciled, he could only say in hatred: "Back up! Damn, back up quickly, your master's life is about to die."

Those soldiers stretched their bows and arrows tightly, but they could only retreat to make way.

Li Su walked in front, and the crow held Li Yue hostage. After the break, Li Yue's back
