Chapter 296

"Really?" Qing Xia's eyes suddenly brightened, she couldn't help but pulled Chu Li's sleeve, and said excitedly: "How about the tax?"

"Thirty tax one."

Qing Xia frowned silently for a while, then raised her head and smiled and said, "Alright, let them taste the sweetness first, as long as we strictly control some important supplies, the Huns will have to rely more and more on the Central Plains. Hmph, eating barley, living Yurt tents, when they have the opportunity to eat white rice and live in tall houses, I see who would still be willing to roll around on the grassland."

Chu Li smiled and said, "This is your subtle plan to recover?"

Qing Xia said with a smile: "You must have the support of an enlightened monarch like you. Cross the ocean to grow tea, and put horses in the North Sea to rule the roost. Sooner or later, the flag of China will spread all over the world and across the ocean."

Chu Li held Qing Xia's hand slightly, his eyes were rare and gentle, he pulled Qing Xia's body, and kissed her forehead lightly, his voice was a little hoarse, like the waves at night, rustling: "You have to stay by my side and wait with me for that day."

Qing Xia leaned against Chu Li's arms, put her head on his shoulder, and took a deep breath. The night wind was very cold, but for some reason, she no longer felt the coldness of walking alone in the desert.The warm touch on the back of her hand was like a hot spring in a mountain stream, washing away all her fatigue and hard work.Thousands of sails have passed, and spring is coming again to thousands of trees. Looking back suddenly, the man is still behind the light and shadow of the dim lights, waiting and staring quietly, his eyes are clear, and he has traveled through thousands of rivers and mountains.

Nodding slightly, Chu Li laughed happily and said, "Qingxia, we will return to Shengdu tomorrow, and after we return, we will get married, okay?"

A snow-white bird flew over the sky suddenly. The snow-white feathers were warm and humid. It circled back and forth over the camp, and finally flapped its wings and landed on the tall mast. With a hint of loneliness and desolation, the eyes are far away, as if looking down on the entire desert, but when you look at it, it feels as if it is looking at you.

Qing Xia was slightly taken aback, looking at the bird with both eyes, a light figure suddenly echoed in front of her eyes, that handsome face, quiet eyes, gentle corners of her mouth, and the reassuring scent of Chuanbei all over her body, all of them Like a movie, the waves flowed through her heart.Once upon a time, a man said the same thing to her. On that sunny and warm morning, she was wearing a phoenix crown and xiapei, wearing a noble royal auspicious dress, with loose hair and a bright smile. She seemed to have been reborn.They looked at each other and made an appointment to meet at night. At that time, she would step into his house and become his wife. They would stay together for the rest of their lives and never leave.

But those accidents and disasters came like a raging flood, shattering all dreams and longings, leaving only those fleeting memories, still stubbornly entrenched in my heart, reminding that warm period all the time A happy but heartbreaking past.

Some people, even if they are no longer there, will still be entrenched in their hearts for a lifetime.Some people, even if they leave, will become the most beautiful scenery in their life.Some people, even if they can no longer reach out and grab them, they will always float in memory and become the warmest wind.

And some vows can never be broken.

"Qing Xia?"

Chu Li's voice was very low, with a hint of caution, even nervousness.Qing Xia raised her head to look at Chu Li, and suddenly a big smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She stretched out her hand to climb onto Chu Li's shoulder, and suddenly stood on tiptoe to gently kiss the man's thin lips, then smiled Said: "Okay!"

The light in Chu Li's eyes suddenly flashed, first he was shocked, then he couldn't believe it, and finally he was ecstatically overjoyed.He hugged Qing Xia's waist and spun around like a child, Qing Xia screamed in shock, it took a long time before he was put down.Chu Li, who was out of breath, buried his head in Qing Xia's beautiful hair, his voice even choked up, and he couldn't help saying softly: "Qing Xia, thank you, thank you."

Qing Xia's tears suddenly fell, hit the desolate desert, and was submerged in the dry sand in an instant, she could only hug the man's body tightly, and then bit her lips tightly, restraining the man who was about to spit out A trace of moved weeping.

"Qingxia, there is one more interesting thing." Chu Li let go of Qingxia's shoulders, seemingly at a loss for what to do with happiness, and said without words: "The nobles of the Huns heard that I agreed to trade with them, but they insisted on Give me a title, and guess what it is?"

With crooked eyes and a gentle smile, Qing Xia jokingly said, "It's not about Genghis Khan, is it?"

Chu Li frowned, and asked suspiciously: "What is Genghis Khan?" But he continued in an instant: "It's funny to say, they said that Da Chu was willing to trade with the Xiongnu in the North, and he gave the great gift of the North, living people Numerous, so I want to call me Beicitian Khan, I think it's okay, and I will discuss it with the ministers when I return to Shengdu."

"Bei Ci?" Qing Xia laughed dumbly, and said: "You have killed so many Huns, yet you can still be worthy of this word of kindness. These Xiongnu nobles really can think of any tricks to survive."

Chu Li asked: "Do you feel bad?"

"It's nothing bad," Qing Xia said with a smile, "The Xiongnu have been fighting for years, the people have been displaced, and more people died in disaster years. Although we killed many Huns this time, once the Huns are merged into the Central Plains , teach them how to farm and merchants, teach them silk and sericulture, and send officials to manage them seriously, so you know that this is not a good deed that will benefit the future generations of the Northland. Therefore, in detail, you still deserve the word "benevolence."

Chu Li smiled brightly, with a chic posture and an unrestrained expression, and said: "You are the reason anyway, well, it is late at night, you should rest early, we will set off to enter the customs tomorrow."

Qing Xia nodded, held Chu Li's hand, and said: "You also go to bed early, tomorrow morning you will eat the rice cooked by Le Song, I feel chills down my spine just thinking about it."

Chu Li smiled and let go of Qing Xia's hand, pushing her into the big tent, Qing Xia turned her head, just about to enter the tent, Chu Li suddenly called Qing Xia's name loudly, Qing Xia turned her head in doubt Go, before seeing Li's face clearly, the lips are covered, gently rolling, ruthlessly lingering.

The moonlight was full and the stars were few and far between. After a long time, Chu Li let go of Yixi Yichen's woman, laughed, turned around and walked towards his big tent.

Standing in front of the big tent, Qing Xia watched Chu Li's figure gradually disappear in the dense night, her eyes seemed to freeze, she was staring at the front persistently, as if she was looking at something, but also seemed to be not seeing anything.The white bird parked on the mast flapped its wings, and some white feathers fell down with the wind, swaying, and fell into the dust.

"Let's go." Qing Xia raised her head, looked at the white bird, and said softly: "There is a lot of wind and sand in the desert, I can't match you, let's find a good place."

The white bird looked far away, suddenly screamed, flapped its wings and flew away.

Qing Xia smiled lightly, turned around and entered the big tent, the pain in her lower abdomen became more and more intense, rushing into her internal organs like a heart-piercing lung, as if sharp insects were pecking at her heart, she just endured it for a while, The clothes on the back were all soaked.Leaning on the table with her hands, she took a deep breath, and leaned back on the chair, her breathing became heavier and heavier.

The road ahead is full of hardships, and her time is numbered.Zhiyan, please forgive me for not being able to look for you again, I am afraid that I will be desperate, and I am also afraid that finding you will be nothing but regrets, why not just leave quietly alone with the illusion that you are still living in a certain corner of the world, Do the last thing you can do before you die.

Bamboo forest in the green sea, clouds and mist drifting away, how much I love you, only the sun, moon and stars outside the gate can testify to me.However, how ridiculous, how much I love him, but also like you.

The yellow sand piled up one after another, and the desert was muddy. Fortunately, this ridiculous life of many obstacles and obstacles is coming to an end.

Qing Xia leaned back on the chair, exhaled slightly, and sighed slowly.The oil lamp in the corner was burning quietly, and a spark burst out from time to time. The wind outside the tent was strong, and a lot of yellow sand was blown up, hitting the large cowhide tent.

Everything is silent and desolate, only the wind outside and the eagles screaming from time to time can be heard.Qing Xia leans on the desk, seems to have fallen asleep just like that.In the corner where the lights couldn't illuminate, there was a slight sound of footsteps.

The plain-looking woman in a blue and white robe seemed to have lost her vigilance due to the pain. She lay there limply, motionless.

There was a soft breathing, the slight rubbing sound of boots stepping on the ground, the faint scent of sesame and grass, the ear pinna moved slightly, and even the sound of braids hitting the shoulders.The cold dagger reflected the firelight in the corner, it was always very quiet, very quiet, like a leopard approaching its prey, however, suddenly the dagger flashed coldly and came straight to the throat!

In the blink of an eye, the sleeping woman who was originally lying motionless on the desk suddenly burst into a rage. Hearing the sound, she shifted her position and made a precise move. A small grasping hand grabbed the visitor's wrist suddenly, and only heard a click, and the bones of her hand snapped. dislocated.Qingxia's brows were sharp, she snatched the opponent's dagger with her backhand, and hit the opponent's lower abdomen with her knee, the opponent let out a muffled grunt, and immediately bent down in pain.Qing Xia grabbed the other person's hair, pulled it hard, the dagger was instantly pressed against the person's throat, and shouted sharply: "Who is it?"

The lights flickered, the light and shadow drifted, and the person who came was wearing a green skirt, with thin braided hair, pretty face and big eyes, and it turned out to be Lie Yunji, the seven-tree demon girl who had been separated for more than a month!
"Why are you?" Qing Xia was shocked, quickly put down the dagger, supported Lie Yunji's shoulder, and asked in a deep voice: "What are you doing? What happened?"

Lie Yunji's eyes were slightly erratic, like someone who was drunk, the pain in her wrist made her a little clearer, she looked at Qing Xia suspiciously, as if she didn't know where she was.
