fluttering night wind

The two rode out of the city gate, and happened to meet a convoy, Xiao Rongyue couldn't avoid it, so she bit the bullet and went forward immediately, to the side of a huge carriage.The carriage is covered with a double canopy, with four gold chains dangling from it, golden bells hanging from the chain feet, and moon-raising orbs embedded in the roof of the carriage. When a boy servant opens the carriage door, the fragrant wind blows.

Xiao Rongyue held her breath and looked inside, Hejian King Murongbo was sitting inside, dressed in elegant quilts, just like Nan Xia.In Beidi, their Murong family has a nickname called "Bailu". Most of them have yellow hair and blue eyes, long heads and high cheekbones, and the blood of the Hu people is stronger.The king of Hejian has been stationed in the pass all year round, and his diet and daily life are no different from those of the Han people.At this time, he smiled and said: "Sister Rongyue, I haven't seen you for many years, how have you been?"

"Thank you, my lord, for your concern. It's very good," Xiao Rongyue clasped her fists gracefully.

Murong Bo laughed and said: "I heard that the princess' sister was startled by the thieves when she was passing by Jinyang, this is because Bo failed to get rid of the thieves, and the princess was harmed."

Xiao Rongyue said in disbelief: "Some small thieves, with Mr. here, are enough to kill them. How dare you work on the cavalry under King Hejian's command? Wouldn't it be like killing a chicken with a sledgehammer."

Murong Bo looked around and said, "Which one is Mr. Dong?"

Mr. Dong also had to rely on his horse to greet him. Murong Bo couldn't see his smile, and looked him up and down, almost poking a hole in him: "Is this Mr. Dong? Sure enough, he is a high-ranking man who doesn't show his face. Mr. Gu Wang has read the commentary, every word is worth a thousand dollars, Mr. Zhi sees it today and cares about it."

Mr. Dong thought to himself, how can a master be so worthless.Then he bowed immediately and said: "Dong lives in Xiao's mansion and seeks to eat your country. How dare he lose the hope of the Yan Dynasty and the virtue of the king of Hejian."

Murong Bo was very helpful, and said to Xiao Rongyue: "It's still half a day to get to Junfu's place, it's freezing outside, princess sister, come and sit in the car."

Xiao Rongyue smiled and said: "Thank you for your kindness, Lord Rong, Rong Yue is not used to riding in a carriage and finds it airtight, so riding a horse is more comfortable."

After following the chariot and horse of King Hejian, the two meandered north and turned into the desert.When the sun rose in the morning of the second day, Mr. Dong saw countless tents sprinkled on the vast desert, bathed in golden sunlight.In the middle is a huge tent with a nine-fold umbrella, topped with jewels, hanging with a net of wreaths, and a pure gold faucet at the four corners.

Xiao Rongyue went in to salute, but Mr. Dong could not approach.Outside the Jianzhang Camp, he saw Xianbei cavalrymen wearing pointed felt hats, knee-length short jackets, swords in one hand, shields in the other, and scimitars hanging from their belts, galloping back and forth outside the camp.

He waited for quite a while, but Xiao Rongyue did not come out, but a girl's silver bell-like laughter came from the big tent, Mr. Dong listened for a while, and Xiao Yuanzao's voice was also inside.The father and daughter got together and expected nothing to happen, so he turned and left.

Riding a horse and walking alone on the grassland, the ice and snow have not yet melted, and the sun is still early. It is the barren desert where birds do not fly, and thousands of moraine and thousands of mountains are still dreaming.

Mr. Dong faced the southwest direction and looked at each other from a distance.Tuoba has not been accepted, and the king of Hejian has been waiting for him, how long has the minister's festival been?But I don't know that there are strong neighbors on the side, and Heluo's territory can be firmly guarded.Mencius You, the King of Shu, raised troops for three years. Once he left the army, he would easily conquer in one battle.The sky is never tired of chaos, the family and the country are changing, and the momentum of breaking the establishment depends on whose hand?

He was thinking about it, when he suddenly heard the low sound of horns from the north, and Emperor Yan's team was out hunting.He was about to rein in his horse and go back to the camp, there was a clatter of hooves on the northwest corner, accompanied by the cry of a woman.Two horses riding in the snow drove a woman towards him.

The woman collapsed to the ground a hundred meters away from him. She was a Han woman. What made Mr. Dong even more horrified was that her abdomen was so high that she was obviously pregnant for a long time.

The two riders galloped closer, and immediately there were two young barbarian men with braided hair on the left lapels. Judging from their clothes and accessories, they should be the children of nobles. At this time, their faces were filled with cruel and bloody smiles, and they surrounded the woman and whipped vigorously.The woman cried and screamed in pain on the ground, struggling to protect her stomach.

One of the barbarians suddenly stopped the whip in his hand, looked at the woman maliciously, and said to the other: "I came up with a good idea. I lost to you in Shuanglu yesterday, do you dare to bet with me again?"

"What are you gambling?"

"Bet that Nanman is pregnant with a man or a woman."

The other person was curious: "I just bet on a man and a woman, and she won't be able to give birth for a while. When will I be able to verify my victory?"

The young barbarian smiled grimly and pulled out the scimitar from his waist, saying: "What's so difficult? After we place a bet, we will cut open her stomach immediately, and we will know the winner."

The other person had never heard of such an idea, and immediately clapped his hands and said, "Then I bet it's a man."

"Then I'll try to recognize a woman." He stuck out his tongue, with a gold ring on the tip of his tongue, licked his lips, a look of sternness appeared in his eyes, and he bent down and drew his knife to slash.

"Wait a minute", Mr. Dong whipped the white horse desperately, and rushed in front of the three of them: "You two young masters, bet you will bring me as well."

The two men saw a Han man in Hu clothes, handsome in appearance and calm in manner, and the white horse on which he was riding looked like a well-known colt.Thinking that in the past few years, the Southern Dynasty has been chaotic and the people have been dispersed, and the various lords' houses have taken in many capable people from the Xia Dynasty, so they also gave him some face, and raised their whips one by one: "Which lord's house are you?" Up?"

"I'm going to Mr. Dong Zhu in the lower Xiao Zhuguo's mansion."

The two men looked at each other, apparently they had never heard of his name, one of them squeezed his knuckles contemptuously, and said: "Both men and women have been recognized by our brothers, what are you betting on, and what is the lottery?"

Dong Zhujun glanced at the ground, and said: "I bet, there are two sons, one male and one female, the male lives and the female dies."

The two barbarians were shocked when they heard this.Could it be that this man has a good eye.After another moment, both of them raised their heads and laughed, this Han Chinese is talking in his sleep.

"If I win, you will spare this pair of mother and son. If I lose..." Dong Zhujun untied a very small curved bow from behind and handed it over, his hand was heavy, one of them was quite knowledgeable, and said in astonishment: "Could it be the little heavenly bow that Xiao Zhuguo always wore as a reward from the Supreme Being in the past?" Seeing Dong Zhujun nodding, he had to look at this man differently, swallowed, and greedily said: "Okay, then the gamble."

The other person raised his knife to chop, Dong Zhujun swung his whip to hold his hand, and the faces of the two changed immediately: "It's too late for you to repent now. Xiao Tiangong must stay."

"No, no." Dong Zhujun shook his head with a smile and said, "I'm betting on death and life. If you cut them down like this, and kill both of them, then I won't accept it."

The man squinted at him: "What can you do?"

"There is a way, it depends on whether you can wait."

Both of them snorted coldly: "Young master has plenty of time."

Dong Zhujun got off his horse to check on the woman. The woman was over 30 years old, and her face was pale and pale from fright.Dong Zhujun held her hand, feeling her pulse and comfortingly said: "Relax, I will use gold needles to induce labor for you." As he spoke, he took out a needle pouch from his purse, and when he opened it, he saw a dense row of needles inside. Seeing the golden needles of different sizes and lengths, the two Huren disciples felt their eyes widened and looked at him with great interest.

He took three main acupoints Hegu, Sanyinjiao and Zusanli, supplemented by Zhibian, Qugu, Henggu, Taichong, Yinlingquan, Zhongwan, Ciliao and other acupoints, and injected seventeen or eight needles in one go. With one hand, he twirled the small bag on the golden needle, and with the other hand, he probed into the woman's abdomen to check.After only a quarter of an hour, I felt that the uterus contracted stronger, so I increased the force of the golden needle, and said in the woman's ear: "Sister-in-law, for the sake of the child, use a little more strength." The woman's hair was wet with sweat, and she mourned Screaming endlessly.

After another meal, there was a neighing sound from the grassland, and a baby fell from between the woman's thighs, neither crying nor screaming, a barbarian stepped forward and took a look, "It really is a baby girl."

Dong Zhujun was sweating all over his body, and at this moment he was concentrating on identifying the acupoints and getting the needles, but the two barbarians became more and more impatient as they waited, and urged: "Hey, the surname is Dong, is it okay? I advise you to accept the bet and admit defeat."

Before the words fell, there was a loud and powerful cry, and a living baby boy fell to the grass.Dong Zhujun bit off the umbilical cord, took off his coat, and wrapped up the baby boy, the woman breathed a sigh of relief.There was a glaring pool of blood on the snow.

Dong Zhujun stood up with his swaddled baby in his arms, and the faces of the two barbarians changed drastically. They gritted their teeth and pointed at him with a whip: "You can't use magic tricks, tricks don't count."

Dong Zhujun raised his eyebrows and said with a sneer, "I've never seen this woman before, how can she be deceitful. Don't afford to lose, both of you."

One of them flew into a rage, drew his knife out of its sheath, and urged the horse to chop him.Dong Zhujun held the baby in his arms, unable to free his hands to receive the move, he dodged left and right.There was only three sounds of "嗖嗖", the cold arrows flew past the barbarian's scalp, the sound of horses stepping on the snow was heard in the distance, and dozens of Emperor Yan's iron horses galloped close to the ground.The leader is a woman, graceful and luxurious, and even more dignified, which makes people awe-inspiring and dare not stare at them.

After ming Di to warn them, the two men knew the severity and did not dare to move.

Xiao Rongyue came closer to look carefully, and sneered for a while: "Who do I think it is? It turns out that it is the prince of Bohai and the prince of Ruyang. The Supreme One just asked why he didn't see the two princes. It turned out that he wandered here. This is also true. No wonder why shooting those ignorant brutes is so much more fun than killing people."

Since Murong De proclaimed himself emperor, he wanted to be conquered by virtue, and he never liked killing indiscriminately.The faces of the two changed color, and one of them reluctantly said: "Thank you, Princess, for coming to sue." He was about to pat the horse and leave, but Dong Zhujun shouted "Wait", threw the small sky bow to the two, and said: " Thank you son for your noble hand, how can you enter Baoshan and return empty-handed."

The two dared not stay here after they got the treasure, and ran wildly all the way.

Dong Zhujun briefly explained what had happened, and Xiao Rongyue said bitterly: "These two little bastards are not willing to sit at home for a day, and they won't come out to harm people."

The guards had already helped the woman on the ground, and Mr. Dong Zhu wanted to give her the swaddle, but she avoided it in shock, and said with tears streaming down her face, "This child is the offspring of a barbarian, I can't have it, sir, please show mercy." , adopt him."

There is no such crime in the world as having children but not raising them, let alone belittle a heavy man in front of Xiao Rongyue, so ignorant of flattery.She was immediately displeased, raised her eyebrows, and was about to lose her temper, but Dong Zhujun stopped her and said softly, "You conceived this child after being raped, didn't you?"

The woman just sobbed.

The love of husband and wife is the beginning of human relations, the kindness of parents to their children, and the filial piety of children to their parents all start from this.Dong Zhujun's eyes overflowed with compassion, and he said: "Although this child was not born for love, he can live for love. Have you really thought about it, do you want to abandon him?"

The woman shook her head again and again.

Even the guards surrounding Xiao Rongyue were full of dissatisfaction and accusations, but Dong Zhujun packed up the dead baby's body, and without saying a word, he just ordered the woman to be sent back to her original residence.The mother left without looking at the child again.

Dong Zhujun and Xiao Rongyue returned immediately.On the way, Xiao Rongyue thought on the spur of the moment: "Sir, you saved his life, let's give him a name."

Dong Zhujun squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then said: "He was born strangely, so let's use one word for another, Xiao Shu, how do you think?"
