Changhe Sunset Yen

Chapter 18 8

The words were divided into two parts, saying that Young Master Wu, who was captured by the Western Barbarians, lived a very comfortable life every day.

The king of Ximan treated him like a guest of honor, and he had four meals a day, all of which were full of meat. After a few days, he had fattened him up a lot.

It was cold and windy in the north, and the king of Ximan prepared the thickest tent for Wu Zhijing, just like a small greenhouse. The soft fragrance of the Central Plains was originally buried in some sachets imported from the Central Plains in the mattress.

This made Wu Zhijing live a heavenly life, and he was already a little bit reluctant to leave.

However, there was only one thing that made him very dissatisfied.

He also wants to go out to herd sheep, milk cows, and gallop on the prairie to enjoy the vast blue sky and green land.

however!

The daily range of activities, an airtight tent big enough to sleep 20 people, and the area surrounded by a fence outside the tent is his world.

At best, he could stand by the fence, look at the cattle and sheep dotted in the green in the distance, and look up at the blue sky very close to him, but the feeling of sitting in a well and looking at the sky is really uncomfortable.

What is a word called?

House arrest?

That's pretty much how he is.

So after five days of this kind of life, he got tired of it as soon as the initial novelty wore off.

What should I do if I get tired?

It's a good way to relieve boredom with those prairie men who deliver food and vegetables.

The men in the prairie are different from the Han people. They are rough and simple. Most of them are strong men who grew up on horseback and practiced martial arts and archery since they were young.

Our Young Master Wu likes this very much!

Although that face is different from Beauty Xiao's, but Beauty Xiao is the only one here, so don't be so greedy as a human being, you are happy to eat a little bit.

The man who was unfortunately caught by Wu Zhijing was often teased red-faced. In addition, Wu Zhijing was thin and had a delicate face. In the eyes of a rough prairie man, his delicacy was not much different from that of a woman. After gossiping with his wife and children for three generations, this person no longer dared to look up at Wu Zhijing.

Suddenly one day, when it was time for dinner, Wu Zhijing waited and waited for the guy to come, he clicked his tongue unhappily in his heart, saying that it's okay, he can play for another ten days with a different taste!

After waiting for lunch that day, when it was dinner time, someone finally came!Wu Zhijing was so hungry that he was dizzy, and when he heard something, he ran out of the tent in a hurry, and saw a strange man, wow!That's what it means to look like a man with sword eyebrows and star eyes!Beauty Xiao is exactly the same... Ahem, those are two kinds of beauty, incomparable, incomparable.

Seeing people wearing the most common cotton clothes, which can be seen everywhere on the grassland, Wu Zhijing was surprised, how could a Pu village be so aura?Is this the private visit of some high-ranking official?

The corner of Wu Zhijing's lips curled up, interestingly.

The visitor smiled at Wu Zhijing, which made his little heart skip a beat, wow, is this spring?That dead Xiao Yu made you look down on my young master!Xiaoye finds a better look, so you won't regret it to death!

As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped forward with a smile on his face.

The visitor said that the man on duty had something to do temporarily, so he came to wait for work today, and introduced himself as Wu Yun.

Wu Zhijing felt strange, this Western barbarian spoke Chinese quite fluently, so he couldn't help but praise him a few words.

Wu Yun laughed and said that he has been very interested in the Central Plains culture since he was a child. He secretly read a lot of books without telling his parents, and also asked a Han person to learn Chinese as a teacher.

Wu Zhijing changed his mind, this kid is really interesting.He is half teasing, maybe it's not a coincidence that you came here today, right?

The next moment, Wu Yun showed his embarrassment that had been exposed, and scratched his head and smiled innocently.

Wu Zhijing had an idea, since people wanted something from him, how could he waste this good opportunity?

He said to Wu Yun, how about we make a deal?I teach you things about the Central Plains, but you secretly let me out.I promise not to run away, if you are worried, you can follow me.

Wu Yun was a little embarrassed at first, but after thinking about it for a long time, he nodded his head emphatically, and told him that it is easy to get lost in the grassland, so you must not go too far.I'll put up a little yellow flag at the door, so if you get lost, look for it.

Wu Zhijing clapped his hands together and said happily, I just like a straightforward buddy like you!

Said that he was impatient and wanted to go out immediately.

After two months as a hostage, Wu Zhijing finally got his freedom.

Wu Yun would come to see him almost every day, sometimes he would go out with him, and sometimes he would only talk to him for a while before leaving in a hurry.

They talk a lot when they are together.Wu Zhijing would introduce him to the customs of the Central Plains, such as firecrackers and rice cakes during the Spring Festival, mooncakes and moon cakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the Zhongyuan Festival in the Central Plains, which is the day when evil spirits return to the world to seek their lives. , the eight-foot man kept hiding behind the table.

Wu Zhijing laughed and said, what are you afraid of?Did you do something wrong?

Wu Yun tried his best to conceal his fear, and said bravely, no, no, next one!

And Wu Yun will also ask Wu Zhijing about some temple matters. Although Wu Zhijing is not a member of the temple, he has been around Prime Minister Wu since he was a child. , at most it's just a superficial, but it has already made Wu Yun very useful.

As for the strength of the frontier defense, Wu Yun never asked, and Wu Zhijing naturally wouldn't say it either. This is a sensitive topic for both parties.

Wu Zhijing saw that this grassland man often listened to his words with a relaxed and fascinated expression, and couldn't help teasing him, why don't you go back to the Central Plains with me?Based on my father's status, it's easy to assign you a half-time official.

As soon as these words came out, Wu Yun's face darkened suddenly, making Wu Zhijing flustered.

Silence spread unexpectedly, and an ominous premonition grew bigger and bigger in Wu Zhijing's heart.He almost trembled and asked, what's wrong?

Wu Yun raised his head to look at him, his usually clear eyes were also covered with dark clouds at this time, he couldn't help biting his lower lip, and looked away, hesitating to speak.

There was a bang, Wu Zhijing lifted Wuyun and pressed it against the cabinet, followed by a loud roar, what happened? !

This eight-foot man is like a boneless body, allowing a person who is half shorter than him and several circles thinner to suppress him.

After a long time, he finally choked out a sentence, I heard that Prime Minister Wu died of illness.

With a bang, Wu Zhijing sat down on the ground, staring blankly at the man in front of him, unwilling to believe his ears.

He was hoarse, you nonsense!Will not!My father is the current prime minister!The best doctor in Central Plains, how could it be possible for him to die of illness?you're lying!right!It must have been a long way from the Central Plains, and the news was wrong, it must be true.My father is not dead, my father will not die!

Wu Zhijing's eyes lost focus, he was only absorbed in self-deceiving excuses, and the things around him had nothing to do with him.

A young general ran in outside the tent, walked up to Wu Yun, and whispered a few words to him.Wu Yun waved him to go outside and wait for orders.

Wu Yun stood in front of Wu Zhijing, looking down at him condescendingly, this was a posture the two had never had before when they got along.But at this moment, there was more pity in Wu Yun's eyes.

In a trance, Wu Zhijing heard a familiar voice say in an unfamiliar tone, Mr. Wu has lost power, the former prime minister and others have been punished by the little emperor of the Central Plains, the mother who cooks soup for you, the elder brother who teaches you how to use swords , the sister who embroidered your purse for you, the housekeeper Wu who watched you grow up, and Xiao Lu who played with you since childhood, they are all dead and fled, and you will never see them again in this life.

Wu Zhijing raised his head slowly, his eyes had been blurred by tears, and in his distorted vision was an expressionless face, not Xiao Yu's, more cold than that like an iceberg of ten thousand years.

That face suddenly softened, and the sharp eyes also turned into soft water, slowly leaned over, and said in a good voice, don't go back, stay here alone.Gu killed the little emperor for you, and took you back to the Central Plains, we ate dumplings, gnocchi, and flew kites together, as you and Gu said, climb Mount Tai to see all the small mountains, and see the Lushan waterfall falling from the nine heavens, There are also those people with small bridges and flowing water.Promise Gu, okay?

Although he had just received a shocking blow, Wu Zhijing had recovered from his trance, and his brain was spinning rapidly. Although he was still a little confused about the situation, the identity of the person in front of him had been clearly revealed.He couldn't help laughing at his slowness, shouldn't he have guessed it earlier?May I ask which ordinary person can be so domineering?Which little soldier dares to let him move freely?Who else has such insights into political culture?After working on it for a long time, it was another scene where I wanted to turn my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch.

That's all, how can things go according to your wishes now?Doesn't it look like I'm incompetent and at the mercy of others?What's more, you said that my father died when he died, why should I believe you?If you want me, Wu Zhijing, to be a treasonous sinner, there is no way!

Seeing Wu Zhijing standing up staggeringly, he opened the dark cloud that wanted to help him with his palm, and said bitterly, "You don't need your fake mercy!"I've treated you like a brother for so long, but in the end you're just using me!I won't be deceived again, Wu Zhijing can't do the thing of betraying the country and seeking glory.

That resolute expression made Wu Yun speechless. He respected him as a man, so he sent someone to take him out of the tent. This time, he was really going to live in a simple prison cell. After all, Wu Zhijing's value as a hostage was already high. Totally gone.
