Chapter 219
His eyes had been closed for a while, but he felt himself being pushed.Xue Ling opened his eyes and saw that Er Zhushuo was half-kneeling and put his head above his face, looking at him expectantly.She was so scared that she hurriedly rolled to the side and said, "What are you doing?"
Er Zhushuo didn't know why she had such a big reaction, so he leaned back and sat back and said, "I asked you if you were going, what are you doing with such a big reaction."
Xue Ling put away the half of Pingyi that had slipped out, and said, "I fell asleep just now, where are you going?"
"It's not too late. Why did you go to sleep? You might see the eyes of wild wolves later. They are green. You must have never seen them. Brother asked you if you would go to the festival."Er Zhuqian accosted from the side.
"What holiday?"
Er Zhushuo said: "I don't know what your Han people call this festival. In fact, every year, wild horses are brought in, and then the horse's buttocks are branded with your own brand, and then taken back for training. After a month, see which one has the most wild horses in the end. Whoever is better will win."
There are wild horses on the grassland all year round, but they are more common in summer.Although wild horses are fierce, they are tall and strong, with good endurance.Matching with your own horses can produce better breeds.Therefore, it has become a major event for Xianbei to set wild horses every year. It starts in early June and lasts for almost a month.First send people to find out the location of the wild horse herd, and then several big families will go together. It is not enough to be caught, it will be counted after training.In the end, the winner has a lot of jackpots.
Xue Ling vaguely remembered that he had seen this thing, but he didn't have much impression, so he asked, "Can Han people go too?"
"It's unlikely to be on the field. Although your horse is good at riding, wild horses are also very dangerous. Besides, that group of people have been fighting this matter all year round, and they always choose the braver members of their own family. We only drink at the banquet. It's for tea. You don't want to make some dignitaries, this is a good opportunity."
Xue Ling asked suspiciously, "Us?"
Er Zhushuo felt a little embarrassed for a moment. He hadn't set up wild horses a few times.It is said to be a festival, but those old Westerners value their annual wins and losses more than their lives.In addition, the effect of Mustang on the family is indeed great.Since he doesn't have the ability, he is naturally a tea drinker.
Er Zhuqian came over to make a rescue and said: "The wild horse has a strong temper. If you don't have several years of experience in handling horses, you will be punished. If it is serious, you will be trampled by a horse. What do you Han people know?"
Xue Ling smiled, she really didn't mean that just now.If the festival is not a festival, I really have no interest in it. I just vaguely remember that this event is very grand in the eyes of the Xianbei nobles, and the King of Xianbei will also be there, a bit like the Liang Guochun hunting and autumn hunting.Since Tuoba Mian will be there, he doesn't have to go back and rack his brains to find a solution.
But she was not sure, so she asked one more question: "Will your king also be there?"
"Yes, he has to preside over the start. At the end, he has to count the numbers and declare which one wins."
Xue Ling lay comfortably on the ground again, and said casually, "When does the festival start?"In fact, it doesn't matter when it started. Knowing that there is such a thing, she can afford to wait a few more days.After all, Huo Yunwan is the only undecided matter in Beijing.As for Huo Yunsheng, let him and Wei Lang get along with each other for a while first.If you stretch out your hands too much, it's easy to reveal your flaws.
Er Zhushuo discussed this matter with Xue Ling enthusiastically, saying that although the time is not fixed every year, his father said a few days ago that preparations will be made again this year, and it is estimated that it will start in no more than three to five days.Xue Ling snapped his fingers, the time card was just right, I have to say that this trip was very lucky.In the remaining few days, you can still eat, drink and have fun, even if there is nothing delicious, you can still run around with Er Zhushuo.
It was windy and rainless that night, and the eyes of the wild wolf that Er Zhuqian mentioned did not appear, but the three of them slept soundly.Let the morning dew wake me up in the morning, and I will go back after washing with the water left over from last night.All the way Erzhu Shuo was still talking, if Uncle Xue Ling had something good, he might as well not sell it to others.It's not that he didn't want to give the money, but Xue Ling didn't want it.Back at the inn, the boss never expected Xue Ling to be related to the Erzhu family, he took care of him more attentively, and his life was more leisurely than the previous few days.
There is a pen and paper specially bought yesterday on the table. This thing is surprisingly expensive here, and it is hard to find.It took a lot of effort.The pen moved back and forth with the wrist, and the three characters Tuoba Mian were written very beautifully.When the ink was a little dry, Xue Ling picked it up, lay down on the bed and held it up to read.What she wanted to talk to Tuoba Mian was not limited to the Huo family. Xianbei had obviously been besieged for several days, but suddenly retreated completely. Why this is is also worth discussing.Conventional means may not tell the truth.
After thinking for a while, she stretched out her hand and took out two exquisite porcelain vases from under the pillow.Mane-throwing Festival, if she remembers correctly, it should be called this.Anyone with a reputation in Xianbei will be there, and there must be many guards.The hard ones have no hope at all, and the soft ones.... She has never seen when she asked others, they would agree.
But it seems that only the peace in the sleeves can bring a little confidence to people.
Er Zhushuo came a few more times, nothing more than leading Xue Ling to run around the city, and the people who followed him also changed a few times.After two or three days, it really satisfied Xue Ling's request to make friends with powerful people.Under the circumstances of trying to please, everyone was about the same age, and in the end no one mentioned the Hu people and the Han people.Xue Ling was still in a daze, why did he fight?
As Er Zhushuo said, the mane-throwing festival kicked off three days later. Er Zhushuo did not forget to send a set of Xianbei clothes the night before, saying that the festival was a festive one, and the Han costumes were too eye-catching, so she remembered change.
Xue Ling looked at it, and it was obvious that it was based on his own size, so he couldn't help but feel a little touched.Even if he is an out-and-out prodigal, but everyone has a heart, and there is always some friendship.Changing clothes does not prevent her from being a Han Chinese. The difference in appearance between the two sides is too far, which can be seen at a glance, so Xue Ling does not suspect that Er Zhushuo has other intentions.
When the day came, it was rare for her to wake up early to wait for Er Zhushuo.Naturally, it was impossible for the horses to be set in the royal palace, and the Liang people did not even have a special royal hunting ground.It was all spies who went to find where the horses were, and first tried to find a way to prevent them from migrating, and then sent someone back to inform King Tuoba, and brought several big families to the past.So when does it start every year, it also depends on when the first group of wild horses can be found.Just like grass roots, there has to be room.A herd of horses cannot be driven to extinction, so if the herd of wild horses is very small that year, it may not be necessary to run to several places throughout the festival.
Er Zhushuo picked up Xue Ling, quickly caught up with his family, and drove to the wild horse herd together.Xue Ling saw that there were quite a few female relatives in Erzhu's team, and they did not hide their identities at all, and rode in front of them heroically, which was quite different from the Han people.I can't help feeling a little envious, if... Liang is like this, maybe I don't have to explain why I am Xue Ling to others over and over again.On the contrary, it was Er Zhushuo who thought that this kid must have a high status in the family, but he didn't expect to walk around and found that he was just very favored, a bit like Xue Li.
In the crowd, Er Zhuqian, who was side by side with Xue Ling, had seen it before, and the others didn't know who was who. It was probably because Er Zhushuo had greeted him. Seeing that Xue Ling was a Han, nothing unpleasant happened. .A few young horsemen came over to watch what Xue Ling and Erzhushuo brothers were saying in Xianbei.
Xue Ling wanted to guess what they were talking about based on their expressions before, but after listening to a few more sentences, he found that he couldn't help it, so he just didn't bother to care about it, anyway, these people would not affect him much.On the contrary, after Erzhu's family caught up with other Wang families, hundreds of riders ran across the field at the same time, which really made people feel heroic.She was caught in the crowd and walked with the flow for a while, listening to the people around her waving ribbons and cheering, it was inevitable that she would also be infected, she temporarily forgot those thoughts, and comforted herself as if she had come to play.
When they arrived at the place, they found that the tents had been set up, and the ceremony officials, who were similar to Liang people presiding over sacrifices, were already singing and dancing on a high platform, waving torches.Fearing that Xue Ling would get lost, Er Zhushuo got off the horse and watched her closely, and took him all the way to his tent, saying that there would be a feast when King Xianbei came. Take the people who participated in the wild horses from various families to go to the horse herd, and the rest of them are having fun by themselves.After that, he took out the silver pot from his clothes, handed it to Xue Ling and said, "Look at me, if I ask you what you sell later, you can use it to play tricks. But it will definitely not belong to me after playing. Remember to bring me a few more next time."
What he said was sincere, Xue Ling hesitated for a moment, but still took the pot.With such a thing, she may approach Tuoba Mian through multiple reasons.But Er Zhushuo... She bit her lip and said: "Okay, if this trip goes well, I will come again soon."When putting the pot on the table, I don't know if it was not smooth, but for the first time in the sleeve, Pingyi broke his hand.
Er Zhuqian also raised the curtains, brought a lot of people in, first patted Xue Ling on the shoulder and said, "It's him, he brought those things."
Xue Ling saw that there was a young man holding the sword she had given Er Zhushuo in his hand, and he realized that this group of people were all the younger generation of the Xianbei royal family.
Like the Liang people, most of the richer families have more knowledge, so most of these people can also speak Chinese, except for the occasional habitual muttering, they don't shy away from Xue Ling, and stay with her in the tent The conversation was very exciting.Occasionally, there were differences in attitudes towards Liang people and Xianbei people, and they blushed a few times.
When the guards said that the banquet had already started, a group of people led Xue Ling out.Although the ground is still turf, it has been surrounded by cloth to isolate a large yard.Campfire grill table and chairs are all available.Many people are already seated.Presumably Erzhu's status in Xianbei was not low, Xue Ling followed Erzhushuo all the way forward, and didn't stop until he was very close to the main seat.It's just that the chairs that can sit are nothing to them juniors, so Xue Ling had to stand behind.
The servants were already putting all kinds of melons and fruits on the table, and some people began to play and sing in the middle of the venue, and a dozen bearded girls were singing lightly, making it very lively.So people are pretty much the same, and festivals everywhere are all about eating, drinking and having fun.Until the crowd suddenly quieted down and spread out to both sides.Xue Ling dropped his lazy thoughts and stared at that place.Sure enough, several people surrounded Tuoba Mian and walked this way.
Xianbei's etiquette is simple, no one shouts long live, and there is no need to kneel, Xue Ling imitated Er Zhushuo and gestured his fist to his chest, and didn't put it down until Tuoba Mian walked up to everyone.The distance between the two was no more than a battle.She has written this name countless times, but this is the first time she has seen it.The youngest Xianbei king, it is said that he came to the throne in his twenties, and then he defeated the Liang Kingdom, and he was ashamed of the battle between Liang and Hu more than ten years ago.Although the old King Xianbei is still there, he does not hide his prestige at all.
She looked carefully, but Tuoba Mian didn't notice Xue Ling.Naturally, his eyes could not be separated from the few old officials who could sit, and he had no time to care about who was standing behind.Seeing that everyone was here, he raised his wine bowl and called everyone to drink together, then shouted something and waved his hand.Even if the mane-throwing festival has officially started, all the good men from all races led their horses and stood in the middle of the field. Then the leader flicked his whip, and the group of people left in a hurry.
The rest of the people just come to eat, drink and have fun.The old people sat there joking with Tuoba Mian, and Er Zhushuo asked Xue Ling if he wanted to find a place with a lot of people to play, there were all official performances and competitions, it would be boring not to participate.Xue Ling came here for Tuoba, so naturally it was impossible to leave, so he said that he had never seen it.Want to stay here and have a look.
Er Zhushuo was embarrassed for a while, he was not willing to wait here.There are many people coming during the festival, so it is fun to be in the tents of each family, but I am not at ease to leave Xue Ling here alone, so I hesitated and did not leave.
Xue Ling was very casual. After standing for a while, he felt tired.Simply sit on the ground and watch the kaleidoscope-like change of people in the middle of the venue, dancing for a while and juggling for a while, like a great dancer on the street on New Year's Eve in Beijing.It's a bit funny to think about it. After all, they are barbarians. In the Daliang Palace, there will definitely not be such a shameless thing.After watching for a long time, a group of guards suddenly came.Er Zhushuo pulled Xue Ling back and said, "It's time for a horse race, we have to clear the field."
Xue Ling stood up with the pot in his hand, watched a group of people busy there, then planted some flags as a signal, and managed to clear up five or six roads.Several maids came out with trays and put them on the table in front of Tuoba Mian.It was covered with cloth, and she didn't know what it was for.Until four or five people rode horses and stood on the track, Tuoba Mian reached out and uncovered a tray, picked up the things and showed them to everyone.Only then did Xue Ling realize that it should be a lottery, and anyone who wins can get it.
This competition is a voluntary participation, and the risk is not too great. It can be compared for several rounds, and the lottery in each round is different. Er Zhushuo is also eager to try, and said to Xue Ling: "It's a pity that you are a Han, otherwise you can go up and try. I think your riding skills are not much worse than the one above."He pointed to one of several men who were already preparing to run.It is said that this generation is very powerful, and has won the most prizes this year. If the elders didn't think it was too young and unsafe, they would probably be able to go to the Mustang.
Xue Ling didn't know who was who anyway, and it was a pity that she didn't bring Jixiang here, at least she could ask what Tuoba Mian was talking about, it was all in Xianbei, and she couldn't understand a word, but Not fun Er Zhushuo.After hearing that he wanted to play for a while, he came back to his senses and said, "Then how many prizes have you won?"
Er Zhushuo was quite embarrassed, everyone in Xianbei could ride a horse, so apart from good horses and good riding skills, it still takes a little bit of luck to win, and he didn't win it a few times.It's just that when Xue Ling asked, he couldn't help boasting: "There are some every year."
Xue Ling smiled and said nothing more, pretending to be very interested, watching the horse races taking turns on the field.Whenever someone wins, the older generation who are sitting are also laughing.It wasn't until the lottery was almost paid out that someone came to call Er Zhushuo.He told Xue Ling, "Don't wander around, I'll find you when I come back from the competition" and followed.
Er Zhuqian didn't know where she had gone for a long time, and now she was the only one left. Although there were a few people around her who had talked in the tent, they were not as familiar with Er Zhushuo after all.Xue Ling squeezed his wrist, and took out a small gold marble from his purse. This thing was originally prepared to please people.This will come in handy, although it is still a bit big, but the sun is strong at noon, and it is estimated that the reflection is so strong that few people can see it.Falling into the turf is even more impossible to find.
Xue Ling took a few steps forward, getting very close to the person sitting.It is clearer to see the runway in the middle of the field. .When Er Zhushuo led the horse out, he was standing two tracks away from her.I estimated it, that is to say, there will be two people riding horses in the middle.Then I can only pray that when Dai Hui runs back, the few people will be far away from each other so that they won't block him.
It was still a wave of the colored flag, and several horses ran away in an instant.The runway was not too long, and after a while, someone started to run back.Xue Ling covered his forehead with his hand to block the sunlight, squinted his eyes and looked over, it seemed that Er Zhushuo was running at the forefront, but the rest of them were not far behind.Immediately, he had already started to concentrate on looking at Er Zhushuo alone.
It was getting closer and closer, and it seemed that it was about to reach the end in the middle of the field. Er Zhushuo had already started to rein in, and Xue Ling's golden marble flew out, hitting the horse's front legs and knees.She is familiar with the body of war horses, even if a good horse is hit here, it will bend its knees in an instant.Before Er Zhushuo fell down, he jumped up, stepped on the table in front of him, and almost kicked the plate of melons and fruits into the face of a certain prince.Using his strength, he straddled two horses, grabbed Er Zhushuo, lifted the horse and jumped to the side, and the horse knelt down on the ground.
Er Zhushuo called out "Xue Ling", and his gratitude was beyond words.He already sensed that his horse was not on the right track. If Xue Ling hadn't brought it up, he would have fallen off before he could react, and he would have lost face.
The horse was not hurt, it was just a nervous reflex. After kneeling down, it slowly stood up and exhaled there.According to whoever arrives first, the referee would have prepared medicine to announce that Er Zhushuo had won, but he didn't expect this to happen.Moreover, the boy who pulled him was a Han Chinese.It is estimated that many people have not noticed that there are Han Chinese in this scene.
Er Zhushuo said something in Xianbei, and the referee looked at Tuoba Mian in embarrassment.But Tuoba Mian's eyes were all on Xue Ling, he didn't see the golden marble, and he didn't even pay attention to who won.Those who are really capable all go to the wild horses, which is the excitement in Figure [-].But he saw it the moment Xue Ling stepped on the table.
Tuoba Mian not only learned Han culture, but also learned a lot of martial arts.As soon as he saw Xue Ling's movements, he knew that she was not bad at skills, and he didn't notice it after being here for so long.I don't know what it is for.After asking Er Zhushuo a few words in Xianbei, he stood up, walked closer to Xue Ling, and said, "Are you a businessman from a Han people?"
Xue Ling met his gaze, gave a Xianbei salute and said, "Yes."
"What are you selling?"
"I sell everything, but all the goods I came this time have been sold out. It is because of this that I got to know the little prince Erzhu, and he brought me here to open my eyes."Xue Ling looked at Er Zhushuo beside him and said.
Tuoba Mian smiled meaningfully and said, "You are quite skilled."Looking at Er Zhushuo next to him, he asked, "What did you buy?"
Er Zhushuo touched the sword in his hand, then said to Xue Ling: "Where's the pot?"
Xue Ling glanced at him, cupped his fists at Tuoba Mian, and picked up the pot from where he was standing.Er Zhushuo picked it up and spoke so happily that he even forgot that he was about to fall off his horse just now.Those who raced together also came over to see what was new.
Tuoba Mian's knowledge is far from Er Zhushuo's, and he is not so playful, he said: "It is a rare thing, since Er Zhushuo has already obtained the treasure, this time the prize will be passed on to others."
Er Zhushuo didn't expect that the pot was back in his hands, and he was very happy.No matter how valuable Xianbei's things were, he was not in short supply, so he thanked him immediately and pulled Xue Ling to leave.At this time, there were seven or eight steps away from Tuoba Mian, Xue Ling moved his right hand slightly, and finally retreated with Er Zhushuo.There is no absolute chance of winning, she is going to die here, she is really not good at taking risks.
There were still a few rounds in the arena, but Er Zhushuo didn't watch anymore. He didn't care about winning or losing anyway. Instead, he filled the arena with the jug, and Xue Ling followed behind him all the time.Until the two rushed to Tuoba Mian.
After such a round, Tuoba Mian had no doubts about Xue Ling, and he couldn't do without the people of Kuang Erzhu's family.The concept of hierarchy between Xianbei monarchs and ministers is not so important. Er Zhushuo said that if he asked him to take a gamble, what would be poured out.Tuoba Mian didn't refuse either.Xue Ling followed behind, smiling all over his face, like a businessman who has made a lot of money.She really couldn't bear to tell Er Zhushuo that the pot actually had a mechanism, and she could pour out whatever she wanted.
But Er Zhushuo will probably never know about this matter for the rest of his life.As soon as he bent down, Pingyi slid out, skipped half a foot above Er Zhushuo's back, and crossed in front of Tuoba Mian.
Tuoba Mian also reacted quickly, lifted the table with a hook of his foot, and directly knocked Er Zhushuo into the air, the pot was not held firmly, fell under the table, and was hit hard by the table again.Then it was Er Zhushuo who leaned over and pressed on him.Although it was not broken, the silver was soft and had been crushed into a ball, and all the mechanisms inside were destroyed.
Xue Ling didn't even bother to look back to see how Er Zhushuo was doing, Tuoba Mian also drew out his knife to block while shouting.But the two were too close, Xue Ling couldn't stop him, and before anyone rushed over, he had already scratched Tuoba Mian's arm by a coincidence, the injury was not serious, it was just bleeding.On the contrary, she herself was completely unguarded, and some of her blood turned upwards after being shocked by Tuoba Mian's knife.
It's a bet that won.If she loses, that knife will definitely cut her in half. After all, it is unrealistic to defeat Tuoba Mian in a flash. She just wanted to die.
However, after thinking about it, Tuoba would not be willing to let himself die, so he was alive.No one else came, and she was the only survivor.Sure enough, at the last moment, Tuoba Mian still changed the direction, and it was the back of the knife that came up.Fortunately, the knife he carried with him was no better than the one used on the battlefield, otherwise even the back of the knife would be enough.
The goal has been achieved, so he simply fell to the ground, throwing away all his composure.Er Zhushuo had already got up, rushed forward and said, "What's going on."
Tuoba Mian waved his hand, waited for several people to set up Xue Ling, and said, "Put it in my tent first."
A few people were about to leave when Xue Ling yelled, "Hey, hey, my sword, take some for me."She was a little breathless, but she looked confident.It made Tuoba Mian take a second look.An assassin, caught.When death is imminent, he pays attention to his own sword.
He took two steps forward and picked up Ping Yi, and poked the tip of the sword in front of Xue Ling's eyes and said, "Your sword?"
It's a pity that Xue Ling's eyes were opened very normally, even the frequency of blinking did not change, and he said calmly: "Yes, my sword, you can save it for me, and I will use it when I leave in a few days."If he wanted to scare her, then Tuoba Mian would think too highly of himself.
Tuoba Mian didn't get the reaction he wanted, instead he laughed a few times, yelled at the crowd again, and then walked forward, letting several people support Xue Ling to follow.After entering the tent and Tuoba Mian sat down, someone took a rope to bind Xue Ling's hands and feet, and began to search for anything hidden on his body.
After this search, some things cannot be hidden.The searcher first gave Xue Ling a strange look, then ran up to Tuoba Mian and whispered in a low voice.Before he could finish speaking, Xue Ling shouted impatiently: "What are you doing in such a low voice, it's not that I'm a woman can't be made public."
Tuoba Mian turned his gaze over and raised his feet slightly.It's not good enough to come to assassinate alone, but it's still a woman who came to assassinate, and she didn't care at all after the assassination.He had seen a lot of Han people, and he couldn't figure out what Xue Ling was planning.After thinking about it for a while, he still asked the question "Who are you sent to assassinate this king?"
Sure enough, Xue Ling ignored it completely, and directly asked another question in a girl's voice, "I don't know if King Tuoba has ever heard of Qi Ri Xian, if not, let me go first, so I can give it to you." You speak."
Tuoba Mian turned the Pingyi he just picked up in his hand a few times and said: "Actually, blind people can also talk, but just outside. In the words of your Han people, it's festive, and it's not easy to see blood."
"You don't know how to use a sword, don't spoil my things, Tuoba Mian."Xue Ling was tied up and thrown on the ground, but now he stood up, looked at Tuoba and said.Threatening to gouge out one's own eyes is a little too cruel, and the dog might be able to do it.
Xue Ling said: "Blind people can talk, but dead people can't."
Tuoba Mian first heard her call his name directly, he was angry at first, but after hearing the next sentence, he thought he was subdued, so he walked over slowly with peace of mind and said: "Don't worry, you won't die without eyes Yes. Most people in Xianbei have their eyes gouged out for crimes, and they can come back alive after being thrown deep into the grassland."
Xue Ling sighed for a long time, looked at the stool next to him, and walked by himself: "I'm not saying I'm going to die, I'm saying, you're going to die. You won't talk anymore when you die, so I hope you will die when you're alive. , Tell them, don't spoil my sword, I can still use it when I go back."He found a comfortable position and sat down.
Tuoba Mian stared at Xue Ling with his sword in his hand, suddenly he didn't want to torture this person any more, since he had nothing to lose anyway, so it didn't matter if he got it or not.
Xue Ling saw that the fierceness in his eyes was getting stronger, so he smiled and said: "Let me tell you something interesting, it's called seven-day freshness. The color changes in one day, the taste loses in two days, it solidifies like fat in three days, and it's thick in four and five days." It can still be saved, six days in the hands of the gods, and seven days in the hands of the King of Hades. King Tuoba is proficient in Chinese, so it's not like he can't understand what it means."
Tuoba Mian quickly reacted, took a look around himself, rushed over, put the sword on Xue Ling's chest and said, "You said I was poisoned?"
Xue Linghun didn't care, and said coquettishly: "Yes, don't you know, otherwise why would I have to slash you when I was desperate."Seeing that Tuoba Mian was about to speak, he hurriedly said: "But don't worry, this is only the first day, and nothing will happen. But you heard, it will take seven full days for the King of Hades to keep someone."
The normal force was a bit stronger, the outer coat was torn, and the thick corset inside was pierced.Tuoba said: "I don't know if seven days is enough for me to get the antidote from you."Although on the grassland at this time, there are no more tricks than in the palace, but it is easy to torture a person.Tuoba Mian didn't quite understand why such a chronic poison was used at this moment.Most Xianbei people use knives, but he knows that the Central Plains has all kinds of strange poisons, so many that they can kill people with one blow.
"Of course it's not enough, let alone...".Xue Ling raised his bound hands together, quickly stroked his face, and the ground was paralyzed with blood in an instant.But she didn't feel any pain, she looked at Tuoba and said, "Look, I'm only six days old, should you let me go first, let's talk about things, or watch me die first, and then you Come with me, let's chat in the underworld."
The so-called freshness in seven days means that the color changes in one day, which means that the blood turns into black, loses its fishy smell on the second day, and congeals like grease on the third day. There is still time to find the medicine in four or five days. The gods reached out to save them.If it is delayed until the seventh day, it is really going to compete with Hades for guests.Tao Hongzhi thought it was very elegant, and he was very proud when he recommended it to Xue Ling.
Tuoba Mian had already seen that the blood that Xue Ling dripped on the ground was all black, and looking at his arm that had just been injured, the line had already started to turn gray, obviously what the assassin said was true.She thought she was desperately trying to get her name, but she didn't expect poisoning to be the first calculation.
He walked back and forth in the room a few times with Ping Yi in his hand, plotting against other people all his life, and most of them were very angry when he was plotted against, especially when he was plotted against and then threatened.But Tuoba Mian really didn't think about what to do with Xue Ling at this moment, it's not about pity and pity.He wanted to chop twice, but he was afraid that this person would die faster.Before you get the antidote, you have to save your life no matter what.
Xue Ling watched him turn around several times without stopping, and urged: "I just came to talk to you about something, and I will give you the antidote after the talk."
"You have an antidote"?Tuoba Mian came over, stared at Xue Ling and said.As long as there is an antidote on this person, he will not have to worry about digging it out.
"Yes, it's a pity you don't expect to find it, it's not on you."
Tuoba Mian started to walk back and forth in the room again, feeling very irritable.After walking around for a few times, I saw that Xue Ling was still indifferent, and remembered some things that the Han people liked, and said: "I heard that women in the Central Plains are very famous, and whoever sleeps with her will be her god for the rest of their lives."
Xue Ling heard the meaning in the words, she had never experienced such a thing, but she saw a lot of baskets, not to mention that Tuoba Mian was purely scaring, even if it really happened, she would not use this to seek death.But this meeting just looked at Tuoba and said: "I heard that the Hu people's throne will be inherited by the brother and the son of the woman. I don't know if I will be buried with you or be your brother's concubine."
Tuoba Mian couldn't control his irritability any longer, so he picked up the table decoration and smashed Xue Ling. Seeing her faint, he confessed to the subordinates and brought her back to the capital first.
He concluded that Xue Ling must have the medicine, because Xue Ling himself was poisoned, so people can't play themselves to death.This medicine is not in the body, but in the residence, or where it is kept.But as long as the medicine is in the capital, three or four days is enough to find him out.
When Xue Ling woke up again, he was already in the dark prison. He didn't know how many days had passed, but it probably wouldn't be too long. She didn't believe that Tuoba Mian spared his life.As for where the antidote is, this makes people want to laugh.
Having grown up so big, he has never been in a prison cell, only the time at the Jiang family. Compared with this place, he found that this place is more comfortable, and there is a thick layer of hay under his feet.I'm just a little hungry, and I don't know how long I haven't eaten.The place where the top of the head was hit was slightly painful.It can be seen from this that Tuoba Mian is not only sinister, but also ruthless.Xue Ling yelled twice, but no one paid any attention.Simply shut your mouth and save yourself some saliva.She wasn't in a hurry anyway.There are only so many days, if you don't come, everyone will die together.
The mane threshing festival is still going on, but the king was assassinated and someone was found to preside over it.Tuoba Mian returned to the capital first.There was a reason why Xue Ling couldn't call out anyone.The innkeeper watched as Young Master Erzhu rushed over with a team of people, asked about Xue Ling's room, and then went up and turned it upside down.He has been investigated and there are no suspects.Because he stayed with Xue Ling for a long time, he was instead appointed by Tuoba Mian to find out who Xue Ling had been in contact with.
When the torches were lit in the cell, the servants brought in a chair, and Tuoba Mian sat in front of Xue Ling first.
Before he could open his mouth, Xue Ling said: "If you hadn't knocked me out, maybe the two of us would be having a good time now. Doing business with someone is not just doing business. I can give you what Huo Zhun can give you."
It was too late, Tuoba Mian paused when he heard Huo Zhun's name.But he didn't want to talk to Xue Ling anymore, even if he mentioned Huo Zhun, it was probably a matter between the Liang faction.Compared with this Han man, he likes Huo Zhun more.
Tuoba Mian beckoned, and several people dragged a woman in. Xue Ling took a closer look, and it was Pearl.Er Zhushuo also walked in slowly after him, stood beside Tuoba and stared at Xue Ling without saying a word.
Tuoba Mian said: "It's her? You colluded with her to get acquainted with Er Zhushuo, and then came to assassinate me. Is that so? The plan is perfect."
Xue Ling glanced at Pearl, obviously she had already been beaten.At least four or five days had passed since the day she gave the money, and she didn't know why Pearl didn't redeem herself.And Tuoba Mian is really, such a person can suspect that he has something to do with him.What she didn't know was that even Jixiang had been investigated.But Jixiang is a child and from Xianbei, and the shop owner also helped to speak, so he was not brought here.
Pearl already recognized Xue Ling, but she was pinned down by several people and unable to get up, she cried and said, "Master, tell them, tell them, we really don't know each other."
Xue Ling turned her face away and didn't bother to look at it. She knew that Tuoba Mian would probably kill others to make an example of others, but it seemed that she really didn't have the ability to save others
Sure enough, Tuoba Mian walked up to them with a knife in hand, put the tip of the knife against Pearl's back and said: "I heard that the Han people value loyalty the most."
Xue Ling didn't look back, but said without changing his usual tone: "It seems that what you heard is not quite right."
There was only a slight gasp, and the next moment Pearl's screams filled the entire cell, and it continued and became more and more horrific.
Xue Ling couldn't help turning his face back, only to see that Tuoba Mian didn't kill people directly, but cut through the flesh and blood on Pearl's back one after another, and then pushed it away with the blade, exposing the white ribs.
Xue Ling thought about Ding Yi for a moment, and then thought about the man killed in Princess Yongle's mansion.In fact, she had already killed many people, and it seemed that Shentu Yi also said that she had more than a dozen lives in preparation.Also, on the way to be hunted down, he didn't even know who he killed.There are those who look dead, and there are those who don't.But she didn't know that a person could make such a miserable cry.It seems that no one shouted when Wei Yi and Wei Zhong died.What's more, isn't Pearl still dead? Why can the shouting be so penetrating.
It's a little penetrating, but just a little bit.
But after listening to this for a long time, it still makes people's internal organs knotted. Moreover, she discovered that there are so many ribs in a human being, and she had never counted them before.Not to mention, there are still left and right.Seeing the blade of Tuoba milling all the way down, finally reaching the waist, he thought he had finished scratching, but he took it up again and pressed it on the right side.
Ordinarily, it didn't take long, but Pearl's voice was already hoarse, her limbs were firmly restrained from the root, and she couldn't even twist her body, leaving only her head to move.After screaming for a while, she begged Xue Ling for help. After her voice became hoarse, she could only shake her head up and down, hitting the floor with a "bang bang" sound through a layer of straw, and her face was covered in blood in an instant. , I can't see the slightest bit of beauty that I used to have.It turned out that she was the most beautiful among the five Han girls that night, so Xue Ling pointed at her.
Tuoba Mian was quite patient, still holding the handle of the knife, like a Han polishing a work of art.Three ribs are already visible on the right.If a person shows some bones, especially the bones on the back, he will not be able to die for a while.Because there are fewer blood vessels on the back, there will not be much bleeding.So what if he died?
Several people were quite close to the frame where Xue Ling was tied, and she could clearly see the skin and flesh on Pearl's back, and the "bang bang" sound of kowtowing became weaker and weaker.That little temper of doing whatever she wanted was finally put back a little bit, and said: "You give her a sharp knife, otherwise, you will never get the antidote. We will die together"
Tuoba Mian listened to her, paused for a moment, stretched the bloody knife point in front of Xue Ling, imitated Xue Ling's smile that day, and said: "You won't, you are like me. Why? Will she die? Her life is worthless. No matter how she dies, after she dies, you won’t be willing to accompany her to die. Don’t say that she is dead, even if you are missing an arm or a leg, you may not be so cruel. Die by yourself. However, you are here to discuss business, let's talk about it, and if the antidote is brought out, I will give her a knife. As for the matter between us, we will settle it slowly."
"Then you continue. If I can't watch it anymore, I won't watch it for so long. On the contrary, I just want to use this to tell you, what's the point of spending so much effort?" Xue Ling sneered and turned his face away.She really didn't lie, although she couldn't bear to make Tuoba Mian happy, but after a few more glances, she really wanted to let Tuoba Mian understand that it was a waste of effort.It is better to spend these efforts on others than on yourself.What's more, Tuoba Mian was right, if he lacked arms and legs, he might not be able to be ruthless and die, it would be a waste of money.
There are too many unbearable things, most of them are endured in the end, and not many people really can't bear it.
Tuoba Mian watched Xue Ling for a while, then turned around and directly inserted the knife into Lu Zhu'er's body, the faint sound finally completely disappeared.He wasn't threatened by Xue Ling, but he could see that Xue Ling really didn't care about it at all.If one thing doesn't work, do more
Xue Ling didn't even look at Pearl's body, and said coldly, "I don't want to talk here."
It was Er Zhushuo who untied the rope himself.Tuoba Mian has already walked away.He still hasn't thought about what to do with Xue Ling.Liang Ren's stuff, anyone can ask for it, it's not bad.
Xue Ling followed behind, all the way to Tuoba Mian's room.It's rare that it's as good as the Han people, but the painting style is a little rougher, anyway, it's a million times better than the tent.What is placed on the table is Pingyi, and some food.Obviously, Tuoba Mian was ready for Xue Ling to come out.
The screams just now had completely disappeared, Tuoba Mian waved his hand, and together with Er Zhushuo, everyone retreated completely.
Er Zhushuo knew that this matter was over for him.He didn't know how to develop to this point at all, and he couldn't tell what he felt in his heart.I'm glad that Xue Ling hasn't suffered any injuries yet, but I also look forward to the fact that the Han kid is missing an arm and a leg.
Xue Ling looked at the top of the sky, took a snack and ate it in his hand and asked, "What day is it today?"
"the next day"
"Then you acted fast, and you caught people here."What Xue Ling was talking about was not Pearl, but an object.With a little exclamation, he could still hear a trace of sincere praise for Tuoba Mian.
It's a dead person, it's just a dead person.She couldn't accept Wei Yi's death, after all, she had been together for several months.What was that just now, I'm afraid I didn't even speak ten sentences.I probably didn't say much that night, and I don't know if her 500 taels of silver were spent.It's not a small amount of money, so it's not a pity to buy something with it.It really hurts to waste it.
Seeing that Xue Ling didn't seem to be pretending, Tuoba felt that what she said was really true.The rumors I have heard about the Han people seem to be inconsistent with the people in front of me.But a person is calculated too hard, without enough temptation, most of them will not let go of their previous suspicions.He really couldn't think that Xue Ling had anything to make him swallow this breath, so he didn't want to talk to Xue Ling at all, he just wanted to get the antidote,
Tuoba Xian said: "I don't want to discuss any business with you, and I don't care whether you have any grievances with Huo Zhun. Hand over the antidote, and I will let you leave Xianbei safely, and I will never break my promise."
Xue Ling ate some snacks and drank a bowl of mare's milk. He didn't care what Tuoba Mian was saying, and said, "My name is Xue Ling."
Tuoba Mian felt that his dislike for the person in front of him deepened, not because he didn't understand Xue Ling, but because he knew Xue Ling too well.Knowing that she is arrogant, knowing that she is confident, knowing that she dares not be presumptuous.These things were originally what he left after Tuoba had played with others, but now it is even more unacceptable for someone to play with him.
However, he knew that he had to accept it, so he could only keep silent and listen to Xue Ling continue talking.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Xue Ling knew that he could at least start talking, and the matter should be more than half done.After Tuoba, this person has no morals to speak of at all, so he will not stick to Huo Zhun.Although what I did was a bit cruel, but as he said, most people who lose an arm will not be able to cut themselves cruelly, after all, the temptation to live is too great.
As long as the benefits are big enough, what's the point of being ruthless?
Xue Ling moved a chair, sat in front of Tuoba Mian, and said, "I want you to help me kill Huo Zhun."
Tuoba Mian had already guessed that what Xue Ling was going to say was related to Huo Zhun, so he was not surprised to hear her say that, and said, "Huo Zhun and I are fine."
"It's a pity he's dying."
"Since you have tried everything possible to find me, it means that if I don't reach out, he will probably be able to live."
"That's not true. I came to you just because I wanted him to die sooner."
"I do hope that he will live longer. According to what you Han people say, he will live a long life."
"It's a pity that most Han people don't live to that age, and quite a few die young."
"If he lives for a day, can't he give me something for a day?"
"I can give more."
"It seems that women can't be officials. Even if they can, I really can't think of anything that can be given more than a prime minister, Wei Lang?"
"I'll give you Wei Lang together."
Tuoba Mian finally had some snacks, looked at Xue Ling, and said, "Then when will you get it?"
"soon."
(End of this chapter)
His eyes had been closed for a while, but he felt himself being pushed.Xue Ling opened his eyes and saw that Er Zhushuo was half-kneeling and put his head above his face, looking at him expectantly.She was so scared that she hurriedly rolled to the side and said, "What are you doing?"
Er Zhushuo didn't know why she had such a big reaction, so he leaned back and sat back and said, "I asked you if you were going, what are you doing with such a big reaction."
Xue Ling put away the half of Pingyi that had slipped out, and said, "I fell asleep just now, where are you going?"
"It's not too late. Why did you go to sleep? You might see the eyes of wild wolves later. They are green. You must have never seen them. Brother asked you if you would go to the festival."Er Zhuqian accosted from the side.
"What holiday?"
Er Zhushuo said: "I don't know what your Han people call this festival. In fact, every year, wild horses are brought in, and then the horse's buttocks are branded with your own brand, and then taken back for training. After a month, see which one has the most wild horses in the end. Whoever is better will win."
There are wild horses on the grassland all year round, but they are more common in summer.Although wild horses are fierce, they are tall and strong, with good endurance.Matching with your own horses can produce better breeds.Therefore, it has become a major event for Xianbei to set wild horses every year. It starts in early June and lasts for almost a month.First send people to find out the location of the wild horse herd, and then several big families will go together. It is not enough to be caught, it will be counted after training.In the end, the winner has a lot of jackpots.
Xue Ling vaguely remembered that he had seen this thing, but he didn't have much impression, so he asked, "Can Han people go too?"
"It's unlikely to be on the field. Although your horse is good at riding, wild horses are also very dangerous. Besides, that group of people have been fighting this matter all year round, and they always choose the braver members of their own family. We only drink at the banquet. It's for tea. You don't want to make some dignitaries, this is a good opportunity."
Xue Ling asked suspiciously, "Us?"
Er Zhushuo felt a little embarrassed for a moment. He hadn't set up wild horses a few times.It is said to be a festival, but those old Westerners value their annual wins and losses more than their lives.In addition, the effect of Mustang on the family is indeed great.Since he doesn't have the ability, he is naturally a tea drinker.
Er Zhuqian came over to make a rescue and said: "The wild horse has a strong temper. If you don't have several years of experience in handling horses, you will be punished. If it is serious, you will be trampled by a horse. What do you Han people know?"
Xue Ling smiled, she really didn't mean that just now.If the festival is not a festival, I really have no interest in it. I just vaguely remember that this event is very grand in the eyes of the Xianbei nobles, and the King of Xianbei will also be there, a bit like the Liang Guochun hunting and autumn hunting.Since Tuoba Mian will be there, he doesn't have to go back and rack his brains to find a solution.
But she was not sure, so she asked one more question: "Will your king also be there?"
"Yes, he has to preside over the start. At the end, he has to count the numbers and declare which one wins."
Xue Ling lay comfortably on the ground again, and said casually, "When does the festival start?"In fact, it doesn't matter when it started. Knowing that there is such a thing, she can afford to wait a few more days.After all, Huo Yunwan is the only undecided matter in Beijing.As for Huo Yunsheng, let him and Wei Lang get along with each other for a while first.If you stretch out your hands too much, it's easy to reveal your flaws.
Er Zhushuo discussed this matter with Xue Ling enthusiastically, saying that although the time is not fixed every year, his father said a few days ago that preparations will be made again this year, and it is estimated that it will start in no more than three to five days.Xue Ling snapped his fingers, the time card was just right, I have to say that this trip was very lucky.In the remaining few days, you can still eat, drink and have fun, even if there is nothing delicious, you can still run around with Er Zhushuo.
It was windy and rainless that night, and the eyes of the wild wolf that Er Zhuqian mentioned did not appear, but the three of them slept soundly.Let the morning dew wake me up in the morning, and I will go back after washing with the water left over from last night.All the way Erzhu Shuo was still talking, if Uncle Xue Ling had something good, he might as well not sell it to others.It's not that he didn't want to give the money, but Xue Ling didn't want it.Back at the inn, the boss never expected Xue Ling to be related to the Erzhu family, he took care of him more attentively, and his life was more leisurely than the previous few days.
There is a pen and paper specially bought yesterday on the table. This thing is surprisingly expensive here, and it is hard to find.It took a lot of effort.The pen moved back and forth with the wrist, and the three characters Tuoba Mian were written very beautifully.When the ink was a little dry, Xue Ling picked it up, lay down on the bed and held it up to read.What she wanted to talk to Tuoba Mian was not limited to the Huo family. Xianbei had obviously been besieged for several days, but suddenly retreated completely. Why this is is also worth discussing.Conventional means may not tell the truth.
After thinking for a while, she stretched out her hand and took out two exquisite porcelain vases from under the pillow.Mane-throwing Festival, if she remembers correctly, it should be called this.Anyone with a reputation in Xianbei will be there, and there must be many guards.The hard ones have no hope at all, and the soft ones.... She has never seen when she asked others, they would agree.
But it seems that only the peace in the sleeves can bring a little confidence to people.
Er Zhushuo came a few more times, nothing more than leading Xue Ling to run around the city, and the people who followed him also changed a few times.After two or three days, it really satisfied Xue Ling's request to make friends with powerful people.Under the circumstances of trying to please, everyone was about the same age, and in the end no one mentioned the Hu people and the Han people.Xue Ling was still in a daze, why did he fight?
As Er Zhushuo said, the mane-throwing festival kicked off three days later. Er Zhushuo did not forget to send a set of Xianbei clothes the night before, saying that the festival was a festive one, and the Han costumes were too eye-catching, so she remembered change.
Xue Ling looked at it, and it was obvious that it was based on his own size, so he couldn't help but feel a little touched.Even if he is an out-and-out prodigal, but everyone has a heart, and there is always some friendship.Changing clothes does not prevent her from being a Han Chinese. The difference in appearance between the two sides is too far, which can be seen at a glance, so Xue Ling does not suspect that Er Zhushuo has other intentions.
When the day came, it was rare for her to wake up early to wait for Er Zhushuo.Naturally, it was impossible for the horses to be set in the royal palace, and the Liang people did not even have a special royal hunting ground.It was all spies who went to find where the horses were, and first tried to find a way to prevent them from migrating, and then sent someone back to inform King Tuoba, and brought several big families to the past.So when does it start every year, it also depends on when the first group of wild horses can be found.Just like grass roots, there has to be room.A herd of horses cannot be driven to extinction, so if the herd of wild horses is very small that year, it may not be necessary to run to several places throughout the festival.
Er Zhushuo picked up Xue Ling, quickly caught up with his family, and drove to the wild horse herd together.Xue Ling saw that there were quite a few female relatives in Erzhu's team, and they did not hide their identities at all, and rode in front of them heroically, which was quite different from the Han people.I can't help feeling a little envious, if... Liang is like this, maybe I don't have to explain why I am Xue Ling to others over and over again.On the contrary, it was Er Zhushuo who thought that this kid must have a high status in the family, but he didn't expect to walk around and found that he was just very favored, a bit like Xue Li.
In the crowd, Er Zhuqian, who was side by side with Xue Ling, had seen it before, and the others didn't know who was who. It was probably because Er Zhushuo had greeted him. Seeing that Xue Ling was a Han, nothing unpleasant happened. .A few young horsemen came over to watch what Xue Ling and Erzhushuo brothers were saying in Xianbei.
Xue Ling wanted to guess what they were talking about based on their expressions before, but after listening to a few more sentences, he found that he couldn't help it, so he just didn't bother to care about it, anyway, these people would not affect him much.On the contrary, after Erzhu's family caught up with other Wang families, hundreds of riders ran across the field at the same time, which really made people feel heroic.She was caught in the crowd and walked with the flow for a while, listening to the people around her waving ribbons and cheering, it was inevitable that she would also be infected, she temporarily forgot those thoughts, and comforted herself as if she had come to play.
When they arrived at the place, they found that the tents had been set up, and the ceremony officials, who were similar to Liang people presiding over sacrifices, were already singing and dancing on a high platform, waving torches.Fearing that Xue Ling would get lost, Er Zhushuo got off the horse and watched her closely, and took him all the way to his tent, saying that there would be a feast when King Xianbei came. Take the people who participated in the wild horses from various families to go to the horse herd, and the rest of them are having fun by themselves.After that, he took out the silver pot from his clothes, handed it to Xue Ling and said, "Look at me, if I ask you what you sell later, you can use it to play tricks. But it will definitely not belong to me after playing. Remember to bring me a few more next time."
What he said was sincere, Xue Ling hesitated for a moment, but still took the pot.With such a thing, she may approach Tuoba Mian through multiple reasons.But Er Zhushuo... She bit her lip and said: "Okay, if this trip goes well, I will come again soon."When putting the pot on the table, I don't know if it was not smooth, but for the first time in the sleeve, Pingyi broke his hand.
Er Zhuqian also raised the curtains, brought a lot of people in, first patted Xue Ling on the shoulder and said, "It's him, he brought those things."
Xue Ling saw that there was a young man holding the sword she had given Er Zhushuo in his hand, and he realized that this group of people were all the younger generation of the Xianbei royal family.
Like the Liang people, most of the richer families have more knowledge, so most of these people can also speak Chinese, except for the occasional habitual muttering, they don't shy away from Xue Ling, and stay with her in the tent The conversation was very exciting.Occasionally, there were differences in attitudes towards Liang people and Xianbei people, and they blushed a few times.
When the guards said that the banquet had already started, a group of people led Xue Ling out.Although the ground is still turf, it has been surrounded by cloth to isolate a large yard.Campfire grill table and chairs are all available.Many people are already seated.Presumably Erzhu's status in Xianbei was not low, Xue Ling followed Erzhushuo all the way forward, and didn't stop until he was very close to the main seat.It's just that the chairs that can sit are nothing to them juniors, so Xue Ling had to stand behind.
The servants were already putting all kinds of melons and fruits on the table, and some people began to play and sing in the middle of the venue, and a dozen bearded girls were singing lightly, making it very lively.So people are pretty much the same, and festivals everywhere are all about eating, drinking and having fun.Until the crowd suddenly quieted down and spread out to both sides.Xue Ling dropped his lazy thoughts and stared at that place.Sure enough, several people surrounded Tuoba Mian and walked this way.
Xianbei's etiquette is simple, no one shouts long live, and there is no need to kneel, Xue Ling imitated Er Zhushuo and gestured his fist to his chest, and didn't put it down until Tuoba Mian walked up to everyone.The distance between the two was no more than a battle.She has written this name countless times, but this is the first time she has seen it.The youngest Xianbei king, it is said that he came to the throne in his twenties, and then he defeated the Liang Kingdom, and he was ashamed of the battle between Liang and Hu more than ten years ago.Although the old King Xianbei is still there, he does not hide his prestige at all.
She looked carefully, but Tuoba Mian didn't notice Xue Ling.Naturally, his eyes could not be separated from the few old officials who could sit, and he had no time to care about who was standing behind.Seeing that everyone was here, he raised his wine bowl and called everyone to drink together, then shouted something and waved his hand.Even if the mane-throwing festival has officially started, all the good men from all races led their horses and stood in the middle of the field. Then the leader flicked his whip, and the group of people left in a hurry.
The rest of the people just come to eat, drink and have fun.The old people sat there joking with Tuoba Mian, and Er Zhushuo asked Xue Ling if he wanted to find a place with a lot of people to play, there were all official performances and competitions, it would be boring not to participate.Xue Ling came here for Tuoba, so naturally it was impossible to leave, so he said that he had never seen it.Want to stay here and have a look.
Er Zhushuo was embarrassed for a while, he was not willing to wait here.There are many people coming during the festival, so it is fun to be in the tents of each family, but I am not at ease to leave Xue Ling here alone, so I hesitated and did not leave.
Xue Ling was very casual. After standing for a while, he felt tired.Simply sit on the ground and watch the kaleidoscope-like change of people in the middle of the venue, dancing for a while and juggling for a while, like a great dancer on the street on New Year's Eve in Beijing.It's a bit funny to think about it. After all, they are barbarians. In the Daliang Palace, there will definitely not be such a shameless thing.After watching for a long time, a group of guards suddenly came.Er Zhushuo pulled Xue Ling back and said, "It's time for a horse race, we have to clear the field."
Xue Ling stood up with the pot in his hand, watched a group of people busy there, then planted some flags as a signal, and managed to clear up five or six roads.Several maids came out with trays and put them on the table in front of Tuoba Mian.It was covered with cloth, and she didn't know what it was for.Until four or five people rode horses and stood on the track, Tuoba Mian reached out and uncovered a tray, picked up the things and showed them to everyone.Only then did Xue Ling realize that it should be a lottery, and anyone who wins can get it.
This competition is a voluntary participation, and the risk is not too great. It can be compared for several rounds, and the lottery in each round is different. Er Zhushuo is also eager to try, and said to Xue Ling: "It's a pity that you are a Han, otherwise you can go up and try. I think your riding skills are not much worse than the one above."He pointed to one of several men who were already preparing to run.It is said that this generation is very powerful, and has won the most prizes this year. If the elders didn't think it was too young and unsafe, they would probably be able to go to the Mustang.
Xue Ling didn't know who was who anyway, and it was a pity that she didn't bring Jixiang here, at least she could ask what Tuoba Mian was talking about, it was all in Xianbei, and she couldn't understand a word, but Not fun Er Zhushuo.After hearing that he wanted to play for a while, he came back to his senses and said, "Then how many prizes have you won?"
Er Zhushuo was quite embarrassed, everyone in Xianbei could ride a horse, so apart from good horses and good riding skills, it still takes a little bit of luck to win, and he didn't win it a few times.It's just that when Xue Ling asked, he couldn't help boasting: "There are some every year."
Xue Ling smiled and said nothing more, pretending to be very interested, watching the horse races taking turns on the field.Whenever someone wins, the older generation who are sitting are also laughing.It wasn't until the lottery was almost paid out that someone came to call Er Zhushuo.He told Xue Ling, "Don't wander around, I'll find you when I come back from the competition" and followed.
Er Zhuqian didn't know where she had gone for a long time, and now she was the only one left. Although there were a few people around her who had talked in the tent, they were not as familiar with Er Zhushuo after all.Xue Ling squeezed his wrist, and took out a small gold marble from his purse. This thing was originally prepared to please people.This will come in handy, although it is still a bit big, but the sun is strong at noon, and it is estimated that the reflection is so strong that few people can see it.Falling into the turf is even more impossible to find.
Xue Ling took a few steps forward, getting very close to the person sitting.It is clearer to see the runway in the middle of the field. .When Er Zhushuo led the horse out, he was standing two tracks away from her.I estimated it, that is to say, there will be two people riding horses in the middle.Then I can only pray that when Dai Hui runs back, the few people will be far away from each other so that they won't block him.
It was still a wave of the colored flag, and several horses ran away in an instant.The runway was not too long, and after a while, someone started to run back.Xue Ling covered his forehead with his hand to block the sunlight, squinted his eyes and looked over, it seemed that Er Zhushuo was running at the forefront, but the rest of them were not far behind.Immediately, he had already started to concentrate on looking at Er Zhushuo alone.
It was getting closer and closer, and it seemed that it was about to reach the end in the middle of the field. Er Zhushuo had already started to rein in, and Xue Ling's golden marble flew out, hitting the horse's front legs and knees.She is familiar with the body of war horses, even if a good horse is hit here, it will bend its knees in an instant.Before Er Zhushuo fell down, he jumped up, stepped on the table in front of him, and almost kicked the plate of melons and fruits into the face of a certain prince.Using his strength, he straddled two horses, grabbed Er Zhushuo, lifted the horse and jumped to the side, and the horse knelt down on the ground.
Er Zhushuo called out "Xue Ling", and his gratitude was beyond words.He already sensed that his horse was not on the right track. If Xue Ling hadn't brought it up, he would have fallen off before he could react, and he would have lost face.
The horse was not hurt, it was just a nervous reflex. After kneeling down, it slowly stood up and exhaled there.According to whoever arrives first, the referee would have prepared medicine to announce that Er Zhushuo had won, but he didn't expect this to happen.Moreover, the boy who pulled him was a Han Chinese.It is estimated that many people have not noticed that there are Han Chinese in this scene.
Er Zhushuo said something in Xianbei, and the referee looked at Tuoba Mian in embarrassment.But Tuoba Mian's eyes were all on Xue Ling, he didn't see the golden marble, and he didn't even pay attention to who won.Those who are really capable all go to the wild horses, which is the excitement in Figure [-].But he saw it the moment Xue Ling stepped on the table.
Tuoba Mian not only learned Han culture, but also learned a lot of martial arts.As soon as he saw Xue Ling's movements, he knew that she was not bad at skills, and he didn't notice it after being here for so long.I don't know what it is for.After asking Er Zhushuo a few words in Xianbei, he stood up, walked closer to Xue Ling, and said, "Are you a businessman from a Han people?"
Xue Ling met his gaze, gave a Xianbei salute and said, "Yes."
"What are you selling?"
"I sell everything, but all the goods I came this time have been sold out. It is because of this that I got to know the little prince Erzhu, and he brought me here to open my eyes."Xue Ling looked at Er Zhushuo beside him and said.
Tuoba Mian smiled meaningfully and said, "You are quite skilled."Looking at Er Zhushuo next to him, he asked, "What did you buy?"
Er Zhushuo touched the sword in his hand, then said to Xue Ling: "Where's the pot?"
Xue Ling glanced at him, cupped his fists at Tuoba Mian, and picked up the pot from where he was standing.Er Zhushuo picked it up and spoke so happily that he even forgot that he was about to fall off his horse just now.Those who raced together also came over to see what was new.
Tuoba Mian's knowledge is far from Er Zhushuo's, and he is not so playful, he said: "It is a rare thing, since Er Zhushuo has already obtained the treasure, this time the prize will be passed on to others."
Er Zhushuo didn't expect that the pot was back in his hands, and he was very happy.No matter how valuable Xianbei's things were, he was not in short supply, so he thanked him immediately and pulled Xue Ling to leave.At this time, there were seven or eight steps away from Tuoba Mian, Xue Ling moved his right hand slightly, and finally retreated with Er Zhushuo.There is no absolute chance of winning, she is going to die here, she is really not good at taking risks.
There were still a few rounds in the arena, but Er Zhushuo didn't watch anymore. He didn't care about winning or losing anyway. Instead, he filled the arena with the jug, and Xue Ling followed behind him all the time.Until the two rushed to Tuoba Mian.
After such a round, Tuoba Mian had no doubts about Xue Ling, and he couldn't do without the people of Kuang Erzhu's family.The concept of hierarchy between Xianbei monarchs and ministers is not so important. Er Zhushuo said that if he asked him to take a gamble, what would be poured out.Tuoba Mian didn't refuse either.Xue Ling followed behind, smiling all over his face, like a businessman who has made a lot of money.She really couldn't bear to tell Er Zhushuo that the pot actually had a mechanism, and she could pour out whatever she wanted.
But Er Zhushuo will probably never know about this matter for the rest of his life.As soon as he bent down, Pingyi slid out, skipped half a foot above Er Zhushuo's back, and crossed in front of Tuoba Mian.
Tuoba Mian also reacted quickly, lifted the table with a hook of his foot, and directly knocked Er Zhushuo into the air, the pot was not held firmly, fell under the table, and was hit hard by the table again.Then it was Er Zhushuo who leaned over and pressed on him.Although it was not broken, the silver was soft and had been crushed into a ball, and all the mechanisms inside were destroyed.
Xue Ling didn't even bother to look back to see how Er Zhushuo was doing, Tuoba Mian also drew out his knife to block while shouting.But the two were too close, Xue Ling couldn't stop him, and before anyone rushed over, he had already scratched Tuoba Mian's arm by a coincidence, the injury was not serious, it was just bleeding.On the contrary, she herself was completely unguarded, and some of her blood turned upwards after being shocked by Tuoba Mian's knife.
It's a bet that won.If she loses, that knife will definitely cut her in half. After all, it is unrealistic to defeat Tuoba Mian in a flash. She just wanted to die.
However, after thinking about it, Tuoba would not be willing to let himself die, so he was alive.No one else came, and she was the only survivor.Sure enough, at the last moment, Tuoba Mian still changed the direction, and it was the back of the knife that came up.Fortunately, the knife he carried with him was no better than the one used on the battlefield, otherwise even the back of the knife would be enough.
The goal has been achieved, so he simply fell to the ground, throwing away all his composure.Er Zhushuo had already got up, rushed forward and said, "What's going on."
Tuoba Mian waved his hand, waited for several people to set up Xue Ling, and said, "Put it in my tent first."
A few people were about to leave when Xue Ling yelled, "Hey, hey, my sword, take some for me."She was a little breathless, but she looked confident.It made Tuoba Mian take a second look.An assassin, caught.When death is imminent, he pays attention to his own sword.
He took two steps forward and picked up Ping Yi, and poked the tip of the sword in front of Xue Ling's eyes and said, "Your sword?"
It's a pity that Xue Ling's eyes were opened very normally, even the frequency of blinking did not change, and he said calmly: "Yes, my sword, you can save it for me, and I will use it when I leave in a few days."If he wanted to scare her, then Tuoba Mian would think too highly of himself.
Tuoba Mian didn't get the reaction he wanted, instead he laughed a few times, yelled at the crowd again, and then walked forward, letting several people support Xue Ling to follow.After entering the tent and Tuoba Mian sat down, someone took a rope to bind Xue Ling's hands and feet, and began to search for anything hidden on his body.
After this search, some things cannot be hidden.The searcher first gave Xue Ling a strange look, then ran up to Tuoba Mian and whispered in a low voice.Before he could finish speaking, Xue Ling shouted impatiently: "What are you doing in such a low voice, it's not that I'm a woman can't be made public."
Tuoba Mian turned his gaze over and raised his feet slightly.It's not good enough to come to assassinate alone, but it's still a woman who came to assassinate, and she didn't care at all after the assassination.He had seen a lot of Han people, and he couldn't figure out what Xue Ling was planning.After thinking about it for a while, he still asked the question "Who are you sent to assassinate this king?"
Sure enough, Xue Ling ignored it completely, and directly asked another question in a girl's voice, "I don't know if King Tuoba has ever heard of Qi Ri Xian, if not, let me go first, so I can give it to you." You speak."
Tuoba Mian turned the Pingyi he just picked up in his hand a few times and said: "Actually, blind people can also talk, but just outside. In the words of your Han people, it's festive, and it's not easy to see blood."
"You don't know how to use a sword, don't spoil my things, Tuoba Mian."Xue Ling was tied up and thrown on the ground, but now he stood up, looked at Tuoba and said.Threatening to gouge out one's own eyes is a little too cruel, and the dog might be able to do it.
Xue Ling said: "Blind people can talk, but dead people can't."
Tuoba Mian first heard her call his name directly, he was angry at first, but after hearing the next sentence, he thought he was subdued, so he walked over slowly with peace of mind and said: "Don't worry, you won't die without eyes Yes. Most people in Xianbei have their eyes gouged out for crimes, and they can come back alive after being thrown deep into the grassland."
Xue Ling sighed for a long time, looked at the stool next to him, and walked by himself: "I'm not saying I'm going to die, I'm saying, you're going to die. You won't talk anymore when you die, so I hope you will die when you're alive. , Tell them, don't spoil my sword, I can still use it when I go back."He found a comfortable position and sat down.
Tuoba Mian stared at Xue Ling with his sword in his hand, suddenly he didn't want to torture this person any more, since he had nothing to lose anyway, so it didn't matter if he got it or not.
Xue Ling saw that the fierceness in his eyes was getting stronger, so he smiled and said: "Let me tell you something interesting, it's called seven-day freshness. The color changes in one day, the taste loses in two days, it solidifies like fat in three days, and it's thick in four and five days." It can still be saved, six days in the hands of the gods, and seven days in the hands of the King of Hades. King Tuoba is proficient in Chinese, so it's not like he can't understand what it means."
Tuoba Mian quickly reacted, took a look around himself, rushed over, put the sword on Xue Ling's chest and said, "You said I was poisoned?"
Xue Linghun didn't care, and said coquettishly: "Yes, don't you know, otherwise why would I have to slash you when I was desperate."Seeing that Tuoba Mian was about to speak, he hurriedly said: "But don't worry, this is only the first day, and nothing will happen. But you heard, it will take seven full days for the King of Hades to keep someone."
The normal force was a bit stronger, the outer coat was torn, and the thick corset inside was pierced.Tuoba said: "I don't know if seven days is enough for me to get the antidote from you."Although on the grassland at this time, there are no more tricks than in the palace, but it is easy to torture a person.Tuoba Mian didn't quite understand why such a chronic poison was used at this moment.Most Xianbei people use knives, but he knows that the Central Plains has all kinds of strange poisons, so many that they can kill people with one blow.
"Of course it's not enough, let alone...".Xue Ling raised his bound hands together, quickly stroked his face, and the ground was paralyzed with blood in an instant.But she didn't feel any pain, she looked at Tuoba and said, "Look, I'm only six days old, should you let me go first, let's talk about things, or watch me die first, and then you Come with me, let's chat in the underworld."
The so-called freshness in seven days means that the color changes in one day, which means that the blood turns into black, loses its fishy smell on the second day, and congeals like grease on the third day. There is still time to find the medicine in four or five days. The gods reached out to save them.If it is delayed until the seventh day, it is really going to compete with Hades for guests.Tao Hongzhi thought it was very elegant, and he was very proud when he recommended it to Xue Ling.
Tuoba Mian had already seen that the blood that Xue Ling dripped on the ground was all black, and looking at his arm that had just been injured, the line had already started to turn gray, obviously what the assassin said was true.She thought she was desperately trying to get her name, but she didn't expect poisoning to be the first calculation.
He walked back and forth in the room a few times with Ping Yi in his hand, plotting against other people all his life, and most of them were very angry when he was plotted against, especially when he was plotted against and then threatened.But Tuoba Mian really didn't think about what to do with Xue Ling at this moment, it's not about pity and pity.He wanted to chop twice, but he was afraid that this person would die faster.Before you get the antidote, you have to save your life no matter what.
Xue Ling watched him turn around several times without stopping, and urged: "I just came to talk to you about something, and I will give you the antidote after the talk."
"You have an antidote"?Tuoba Mian came over, stared at Xue Ling and said.As long as there is an antidote on this person, he will not have to worry about digging it out.
"Yes, it's a pity you don't expect to find it, it's not on you."
Tuoba Mian started to walk back and forth in the room again, feeling very irritable.After walking around for a few times, I saw that Xue Ling was still indifferent, and remembered some things that the Han people liked, and said: "I heard that women in the Central Plains are very famous, and whoever sleeps with her will be her god for the rest of their lives."
Xue Ling heard the meaning in the words, she had never experienced such a thing, but she saw a lot of baskets, not to mention that Tuoba Mian was purely scaring, even if it really happened, she would not use this to seek death.But this meeting just looked at Tuoba and said: "I heard that the Hu people's throne will be inherited by the brother and the son of the woman. I don't know if I will be buried with you or be your brother's concubine."
Tuoba Mian couldn't control his irritability any longer, so he picked up the table decoration and smashed Xue Ling. Seeing her faint, he confessed to the subordinates and brought her back to the capital first.
He concluded that Xue Ling must have the medicine, because Xue Ling himself was poisoned, so people can't play themselves to death.This medicine is not in the body, but in the residence, or where it is kept.But as long as the medicine is in the capital, three or four days is enough to find him out.
When Xue Ling woke up again, he was already in the dark prison. He didn't know how many days had passed, but it probably wouldn't be too long. She didn't believe that Tuoba Mian spared his life.As for where the antidote is, this makes people want to laugh.
Having grown up so big, he has never been in a prison cell, only the time at the Jiang family. Compared with this place, he found that this place is more comfortable, and there is a thick layer of hay under his feet.I'm just a little hungry, and I don't know how long I haven't eaten.The place where the top of the head was hit was slightly painful.It can be seen from this that Tuoba Mian is not only sinister, but also ruthless.Xue Ling yelled twice, but no one paid any attention.Simply shut your mouth and save yourself some saliva.She wasn't in a hurry anyway.There are only so many days, if you don't come, everyone will die together.
The mane threshing festival is still going on, but the king was assassinated and someone was found to preside over it.Tuoba Mian returned to the capital first.There was a reason why Xue Ling couldn't call out anyone.The innkeeper watched as Young Master Erzhu rushed over with a team of people, asked about Xue Ling's room, and then went up and turned it upside down.He has been investigated and there are no suspects.Because he stayed with Xue Ling for a long time, he was instead appointed by Tuoba Mian to find out who Xue Ling had been in contact with.
When the torches were lit in the cell, the servants brought in a chair, and Tuoba Mian sat in front of Xue Ling first.
Before he could open his mouth, Xue Ling said: "If you hadn't knocked me out, maybe the two of us would be having a good time now. Doing business with someone is not just doing business. I can give you what Huo Zhun can give you."
It was too late, Tuoba Mian paused when he heard Huo Zhun's name.But he didn't want to talk to Xue Ling anymore, even if he mentioned Huo Zhun, it was probably a matter between the Liang faction.Compared with this Han man, he likes Huo Zhun more.
Tuoba Mian beckoned, and several people dragged a woman in. Xue Ling took a closer look, and it was Pearl.Er Zhushuo also walked in slowly after him, stood beside Tuoba and stared at Xue Ling without saying a word.
Tuoba Mian said: "It's her? You colluded with her to get acquainted with Er Zhushuo, and then came to assassinate me. Is that so? The plan is perfect."
Xue Ling glanced at Pearl, obviously she had already been beaten.At least four or five days had passed since the day she gave the money, and she didn't know why Pearl didn't redeem herself.And Tuoba Mian is really, such a person can suspect that he has something to do with him.What she didn't know was that even Jixiang had been investigated.But Jixiang is a child and from Xianbei, and the shop owner also helped to speak, so he was not brought here.
Pearl already recognized Xue Ling, but she was pinned down by several people and unable to get up, she cried and said, "Master, tell them, tell them, we really don't know each other."
Xue Ling turned her face away and didn't bother to look at it. She knew that Tuoba Mian would probably kill others to make an example of others, but it seemed that she really didn't have the ability to save others
Sure enough, Tuoba Mian walked up to them with a knife in hand, put the tip of the knife against Pearl's back and said: "I heard that the Han people value loyalty the most."
Xue Ling didn't look back, but said without changing his usual tone: "It seems that what you heard is not quite right."
There was only a slight gasp, and the next moment Pearl's screams filled the entire cell, and it continued and became more and more horrific.
Xue Ling couldn't help turning his face back, only to see that Tuoba Mian didn't kill people directly, but cut through the flesh and blood on Pearl's back one after another, and then pushed it away with the blade, exposing the white ribs.
Xue Ling thought about Ding Yi for a moment, and then thought about the man killed in Princess Yongle's mansion.In fact, she had already killed many people, and it seemed that Shentu Yi also said that she had more than a dozen lives in preparation.Also, on the way to be hunted down, he didn't even know who he killed.There are those who look dead, and there are those who don't.But she didn't know that a person could make such a miserable cry.It seems that no one shouted when Wei Yi and Wei Zhong died.What's more, isn't Pearl still dead? Why can the shouting be so penetrating.
It's a little penetrating, but just a little bit.
But after listening to this for a long time, it still makes people's internal organs knotted. Moreover, she discovered that there are so many ribs in a human being, and she had never counted them before.Not to mention, there are still left and right.Seeing the blade of Tuoba milling all the way down, finally reaching the waist, he thought he had finished scratching, but he took it up again and pressed it on the right side.
Ordinarily, it didn't take long, but Pearl's voice was already hoarse, her limbs were firmly restrained from the root, and she couldn't even twist her body, leaving only her head to move.After screaming for a while, she begged Xue Ling for help. After her voice became hoarse, she could only shake her head up and down, hitting the floor with a "bang bang" sound through a layer of straw, and her face was covered in blood in an instant. , I can't see the slightest bit of beauty that I used to have.It turned out that she was the most beautiful among the five Han girls that night, so Xue Ling pointed at her.
Tuoba Mian was quite patient, still holding the handle of the knife, like a Han polishing a work of art.Three ribs are already visible on the right.If a person shows some bones, especially the bones on the back, he will not be able to die for a while.Because there are fewer blood vessels on the back, there will not be much bleeding.So what if he died?
Several people were quite close to the frame where Xue Ling was tied, and she could clearly see the skin and flesh on Pearl's back, and the "bang bang" sound of kowtowing became weaker and weaker.That little temper of doing whatever she wanted was finally put back a little bit, and said: "You give her a sharp knife, otherwise, you will never get the antidote. We will die together"
Tuoba Mian listened to her, paused for a moment, stretched the bloody knife point in front of Xue Ling, imitated Xue Ling's smile that day, and said: "You won't, you are like me. Why? Will she die? Her life is worthless. No matter how she dies, after she dies, you won’t be willing to accompany her to die. Don’t say that she is dead, even if you are missing an arm or a leg, you may not be so cruel. Die by yourself. However, you are here to discuss business, let's talk about it, and if the antidote is brought out, I will give her a knife. As for the matter between us, we will settle it slowly."
"Then you continue. If I can't watch it anymore, I won't watch it for so long. On the contrary, I just want to use this to tell you, what's the point of spending so much effort?" Xue Ling sneered and turned his face away.She really didn't lie, although she couldn't bear to make Tuoba Mian happy, but after a few more glances, she really wanted to let Tuoba Mian understand that it was a waste of effort.It is better to spend these efforts on others than on yourself.What's more, Tuoba Mian was right, if he lacked arms and legs, he might not be able to be ruthless and die, it would be a waste of money.
There are too many unbearable things, most of them are endured in the end, and not many people really can't bear it.
Tuoba Mian watched Xue Ling for a while, then turned around and directly inserted the knife into Lu Zhu'er's body, the faint sound finally completely disappeared.He wasn't threatened by Xue Ling, but he could see that Xue Ling really didn't care about it at all.If one thing doesn't work, do more
Xue Ling didn't even look at Pearl's body, and said coldly, "I don't want to talk here."
It was Er Zhushuo who untied the rope himself.Tuoba Mian has already walked away.He still hasn't thought about what to do with Xue Ling.Liang Ren's stuff, anyone can ask for it, it's not bad.
Xue Ling followed behind, all the way to Tuoba Mian's room.It's rare that it's as good as the Han people, but the painting style is a little rougher, anyway, it's a million times better than the tent.What is placed on the table is Pingyi, and some food.Obviously, Tuoba Mian was ready for Xue Ling to come out.
The screams just now had completely disappeared, Tuoba Mian waved his hand, and together with Er Zhushuo, everyone retreated completely.
Er Zhushuo knew that this matter was over for him.He didn't know how to develop to this point at all, and he couldn't tell what he felt in his heart.I'm glad that Xue Ling hasn't suffered any injuries yet, but I also look forward to the fact that the Han kid is missing an arm and a leg.
Xue Ling looked at the top of the sky, took a snack and ate it in his hand and asked, "What day is it today?"
"the next day"
"Then you acted fast, and you caught people here."What Xue Ling was talking about was not Pearl, but an object.With a little exclamation, he could still hear a trace of sincere praise for Tuoba Mian.
It's a dead person, it's just a dead person.She couldn't accept Wei Yi's death, after all, she had been together for several months.What was that just now, I'm afraid I didn't even speak ten sentences.I probably didn't say much that night, and I don't know if her 500 taels of silver were spent.It's not a small amount of money, so it's not a pity to buy something with it.It really hurts to waste it.
Seeing that Xue Ling didn't seem to be pretending, Tuoba felt that what she said was really true.The rumors I have heard about the Han people seem to be inconsistent with the people in front of me.But a person is calculated too hard, without enough temptation, most of them will not let go of their previous suspicions.He really couldn't think that Xue Ling had anything to make him swallow this breath, so he didn't want to talk to Xue Ling at all, he just wanted to get the antidote,
Tuoba Xian said: "I don't want to discuss any business with you, and I don't care whether you have any grievances with Huo Zhun. Hand over the antidote, and I will let you leave Xianbei safely, and I will never break my promise."
Xue Ling ate some snacks and drank a bowl of mare's milk. He didn't care what Tuoba Mian was saying, and said, "My name is Xue Ling."
Tuoba Mian felt that his dislike for the person in front of him deepened, not because he didn't understand Xue Ling, but because he knew Xue Ling too well.Knowing that she is arrogant, knowing that she is confident, knowing that she dares not be presumptuous.These things were originally what he left after Tuoba had played with others, but now it is even more unacceptable for someone to play with him.
However, he knew that he had to accept it, so he could only keep silent and listen to Xue Ling continue talking.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Xue Ling knew that he could at least start talking, and the matter should be more than half done.After Tuoba, this person has no morals to speak of at all, so he will not stick to Huo Zhun.Although what I did was a bit cruel, but as he said, most people who lose an arm will not be able to cut themselves cruelly, after all, the temptation to live is too great.
As long as the benefits are big enough, what's the point of being ruthless?
Xue Ling moved a chair, sat in front of Tuoba Mian, and said, "I want you to help me kill Huo Zhun."
Tuoba Mian had already guessed that what Xue Ling was going to say was related to Huo Zhun, so he was not surprised to hear her say that, and said, "Huo Zhun and I are fine."
"It's a pity he's dying."
"Since you have tried everything possible to find me, it means that if I don't reach out, he will probably be able to live."
"That's not true. I came to you just because I wanted him to die sooner."
"I do hope that he will live longer. According to what you Han people say, he will live a long life."
"It's a pity that most Han people don't live to that age, and quite a few die young."
"If he lives for a day, can't he give me something for a day?"
"I can give more."
"It seems that women can't be officials. Even if they can, I really can't think of anything that can be given more than a prime minister, Wei Lang?"
"I'll give you Wei Lang together."
Tuoba Mian finally had some snacks, looked at Xue Ling, and said, "Then when will you get it?"
"soon."
