Concubine all over the world

Chapter 45 The Princess of the World
Hua Man'er was wounded and escaped that night, but he stumbled and couldn't walk very far, so he was a little physically exhausted.

Fortunately, she brought enough silver taels, and it was almost dawn, so she stopped a carriage on the official road, paid enough silver taels, and was dragged to the nearest county town, where she stayed in a small inn to heal her injuries.

Hua Man'er thought, the great hermit lives in the city.

If Li Muhan found out that she was running away, he would definitely think that she was fleeing to a small remote village or a wild suburb, a ruined temple, or a high mountain, and he would never think that he would sleep in an inn blatantly.

But in order to prevent problems before they happen, Hua Man'er still gave enough money to the shopkeeper, and confessed that if anyone asked her about her appearance, she would only say that she had never seen her.

Then, just to be on the safe side, she asked the shopkeeper to buy a cyan Taoist robe for her like Shen Hanxiao. Putting on the Taoist robe and hat, Hua Man'er still looked too handsome, so she asked the shopkeeper to go I bought a handful of hu and glued it on, and I just settled down to heal my injuries.

Maybe some of Li Muhan's people came to visit this small inn, but they were all fooled by the shopkeeper and the waiter.

Hua Man'er lived in this inn for half a month, and after recovering from her injuries, she began to think about what to do next.

The original plan was to stay out of the world and wander alone in the rivers and lakes, fighting for justice.

But when she recovered from her injuries, she would often come out and sit in the lobby to eat when she was wearing a Taoist robe to hide people's eyes and ears.

Then here, she heard a lot of gossip, and almost changed her mind.

It turned out that in order to cooperate with Li Muhan's rescue, Xia Zikai, king of Chuxiang, used a trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain, and tricked Li Xuqing into the west tower, saying that there would be a vision on Qixia Mountain where Li Muhan and Hua Man'er had stayed, that there would be a real dragon flying into the sky.

Acting in a full set, Xia Zikai really made people fiddle with a real dragon on Qixia Mountain to fly into the air.

Li Xuqing looked at it and was taken aback.

He was originally afraid of Li Muhan, but now that this kind of vision occurs, no matter whether it really exists or not, he will destroy it.

Just as he was about to give the order, he suddenly found a distress signal from Li Zhenao, so he hurried to help.

Unexpectedly, Murong Jiao passed away, and Li Xuqing was even more annoyed. Once Murong Jiao's funeral was over, he vented all his anger on the real dragon. will die.

So, not long after, Li Xuqing ordered the massacre of all the villages near Qixia Mountain.

This is the beginning of the massacre of the village.

Blood flowed like a river near Qixia Mountain.

The bright seven-colored clouds that used to be the source of Qixia Mountain's name, seem to be even more red and gorgeous because of this bloody killing|slaughter.

The common people talked a lot, some said that 2 people were killed, some said more than that, and some people who talked about the real dragon were also killed, so there should be [-] people.

With 2 people, the blood is flowing, and it is time to merge into a small river.

Hua Man'er, who had always been stubborn, couldn't help the tears in her eyes when she heard this.No matter what, the perpetrator was her own father, the emperor, and everything happened because of her mother, Empress Murong Jiao.

So, listening to it, Hua Man'er was ashamed, and felt that she was inseparable from this tragedy.

After Li Xuqing unified the world, his brutal nature seemed to be revealed.

The Qixia Mountain Dragon Slaying Incident was just the beginning.

Immediately afterwards, in order to prepare food and conscription for the war against Li Muhan, Li Xuqing began to levy harshly, and the people complained.

No, in order to unify the world, it took a lot of soldiers, horses, horses, horses, food and grass to attack the barbarians and Xuanyue country. How long did it take? Before they can recuperate, they have to fight again. The common people can bear it once, twice, and the third time. I couldn't bear it anymore, and I couldn't help but complain.

However, instead of comforting the people, Li Xuqing violently suppressed them and arrested those who complained.All of a sudden, there was a lot of turmoil, and the grass and trees were full of soldiers.

Hua Man'er could still hear these discussions because it was far from the capital.Even so, the people who whispered were still cautious and did not dare to make too much noise.Hua Man'er had to prick up her ears to hear clearly.

Once she heard it clearly, she hesitated in her heart.

Not long after, she heard that Li Xuqing massacred barbarians wantonly, especially on the official roads leading to Li Muhan's border capital, whenever he saw a strong and young barbarian, he would kill them.Needless to say, this was to prevent barbarian youths from being thrown into Li Muhan's military camp.

The barbarians are now like rats crossing the street, and their treatment is worse than that of the Xuanyue people.

The more Hua Man'er heard these news along the way, the more unable to calm down.She suddenly felt a heavy burden on her body.

After leaving the inn and on the road, a barbarian was killed by chance, and Hua Man'er was so shocked that she had to take action, but she still couldn't stop the killing.

After that, she changed her mind.

Involuntarily, I began to miss my master Hua Bao and my younger brother Hua Zehao.

I don't know if they are doing well, will they be hunted down?

The crusade has been posted for so long, why is there no news?If he was still alive, it was impossible for someone as elf as Huabao not to know that they were looking for him.unless……

Do not!Will not!
Hua Man'er quickly shook her head to dispel the ominous thoughts in her mind.

She became more and more restless, if she wanted to let go, she had to know about Hua Zehao's situation.The age difference between this younger brother and him is large, and he was almost raised by him since he was a child.Said to be a younger brother, but emotionally, he is more like a son.

Besides, it was my father, Emperor Li Xuqing, who displaced countless barbarians, and I absolutely had the obligation to house them.

Driven by guilt, Hua Man'er began to think about finding a place to live for the homeless and self-reliant barbarians.

After much deliberation, she felt that Qixia Mountain was the most suitable.

The precipitous mountain range where the blood flowed into a river just now, with a radius of [-] miles, is extinct, isn't it the most suitable place to hide?Li Xuqing must have hated this place so much that he didn't even bother to look at it.

Besides, the geographical environment there, the mountainous landform, easy to defend but difficult to attack, isn't it the best place to garrison troops?

After Hua Man'er made up her mind, she started to head towards Qixia Mountain.

Along the way, whether she was in a carriage or staying in an inn, whenever she was free, she would take out her piccolo and play it leisurely.

This is not to express emotions for the sake of leisure. The barbarians are good at playing the flute. They not only use the sound of the flute to express their feelings, but also use the sound of the flute to communicate with each other.When attacking Hetai City that day, Hua Man'er used the sound of the flute to call the barbarians to enter the city.

Therefore, Hua Man'er is not aimless.

The meaning in her flute sound is: "I am Hua Man'er, if you still want to believe in me, follow me. I will take you to settle down. Although we are defeated, we must be reunited to have strength. We can no longer be like Let others bully you like a loose sand..."

This is what she repeatedly blows along the way.

As a result, some barbarians with the appearance of tramps appeared one after another and approached.

Although they all wore Dazhao's costumes to survive, Hua Man'er could tell the rough and unrestrained temperament without self-introduction.

Seeing someone approaching, Hua Man'er played the flute again: "Don't talk, just follow me silently."

More and more homeless men gathered behind Hua Man'er, their disheveled expressions suddenly showed hope.However, all of them walked with their heads down, and there was not much communication.The brutal reality taught them to keep a low profile.At this very moment, the less conspicuous the better.

During the day, they silently followed Hua Man'er's carriage. At night, they stayed in a ruined temple in the suburbs, and Hua Man'er stayed in a county inn.

One day, while staying in an inn in a certain county, someone knocked on the door suddenly.

"Who?" Hua Man'er was very vigilant. For so long, no one came directly to knock on the door, and everyone consciously kept a certain distance.Besides, it's already Zishi, so it's impossible to be the waiter of the shop.

There was silence outside the door for a while, then suddenly the sound of the flute sounded, Hua Man'er immediately jumped up from the bed when she heard it.

She ran to open the door excitedly.

There were two people standing outside the door, one big and one small, one tall and one low, all wearing black robes and hats covering their faces, so they couldn't see clearly.

However, Hua Man'er was already trembling with excitement, and with this familiar and intimate feeling, she could already know who it was.

Sure enough, they took off their hats, revealing two thin faces.

"Master—"

"Zehao—"

Hua Man'er cried and rushed up to hug Xiao Zehao.

Hua Bao hurriedly motioned Hua Man'er to carry Xiao Zehao in, and closed the door with his backhand.

"Sister—" Hua Zehao immediately threw himself into Huaman'er's arms, and couldn't help crying, "Zehao misses my sister so much!"

"My sister really misses Zehao, come, let my sister have a look!" Hua Man'er slightly pushed Huazehao, looked up and down carefully, and found that Huazehao had really grown a lot taller after not seeing him for a year.

"You've grown taller, Zehao, you're a little man now." Hua Man'er rubbed Hua Zehao's hair in relief.

Hua Zehao was a little shy, pushed Huamaner's hand, and said, "Sister, why didn't you come to Zehao?"

"Hey, my sister is involuntary, can I find it or not?" Hua Man'er hugged Hua Zehao in her arms, raised her eyes and asked Hua Leopard, "Master, the crusade has been called for so long, is it true?" Didn’t you see? One after another, barbarian people went to the border to seek refuge. But why are few soldiers willing to go to the capital of the border? Is it because you still remember Li Muhan?”

Huabao let out a long sigh: "It's fate. After reading the document, you and Li Muhan's identities are also known. We also know that you and Li Xuqing are separated from father and daughter. Because you did your best for us barbarians before, so, Even if we know your life experience, we can reluctantly accept it. It's just a pity that such a brave and wise princess is not the real princess of our barbarians. But we don't have any hostility towards you."

"However, I didn't expect that Li Muhan would be our barbarian's great prince. For a while, we didn't know how to face him? On the battlefield, fighting directly, brothers in the army must feel more, so there is no way to adjust it. We want to forgive him very much, and we are willing to have such a capable commander to lead the barbarian army, but this hatred needs time to resolve."

"Besides, it's hard to tell the truth from the fake just by this paper. If it's just a trap and I show up with the little prince, wouldn't it be self-inflicted? So, we decided to observe secretly before making a decision. After all, the little prince's safety , more than anything else."

Hua Man'er nodded: "You are very worried. What happened later? How did you appear here? Are you two alone together? During this time, where did you go to hide?"

Huabao continued: "Princess, listen to me. Later, Li Muhan went to the capital to rescue the empress, and fought with Li Xuqing outside the city. Li Zhenao died because of this. Only when the news got out did we believe it." The truth stated in the proclamation confirms that Li Muhan is indeed the emperor's own flesh and blood."

"We thought that since Li Xuqing and Li Muhan fought like this, they must really not be their biological father and son. So, we decided to go to the border capital. Besides, there is you in the border capital. The princess we trust!"

"Thank you! Master, how many people do you have? Where are you now?" Hua Man'er asked urgently.

Hua Leopard said: "During this time, Huaqiu, Hualuofu and I gathered 3 horses and hid in my barbarian hometown, my hometown. After all, it's better to be in the territory of the barbarians, and the geography is familiar. If you are found, you can still fight. Even if you die, you can return to your roots on the spot, isn't it a good deal!"

Leopard laughed at himself.

"It makes sense," Hua Man'er was overjoyed, "I didn't expect you to have so many people, are Hua Qiu and Hua Luofu also here? Great?"

Huaqiu and Hualuofu are well-known brave generals in the barbarians, each of them has one person in charge, and there is no way for anyone to show their courage.

"Exactly, the barbarians can't stand defeat anymore. Therefore, when the enemy is strong and we are weak, we have to hold back our edge temporarily and completely hide ourselves. Now, we are rushing to the border capital. But we are only halfway there. Another thing happened that made us hesitate again."

"What's the matter?" Hua Man'er asked.

"That's you, princess, why did you escape from the border capital? That Li Muhan is crazy. He put up notices and looked for you everywhere. I once hid in the dark and saw him riding a horse with a black mask. looking for you everywhere."

"Originally, we thought it was common for husband and wife to quarrel and run away from home. However, when he came to you and cursed fiercely, I felt that things were not so simple. In addition, the little prince was not happy, so we had to first Let’s talk about it after finding my sister, so I didn’t go to the border capital.”

"Coincidentally, when we heard the flute sound on the road and saw the increasingly large team you attracted, we guessed that it must be you. You left the border capital, and the people will definitely gather around you. As expected! It's great to see the princess again!"

The leopard finally finished talking, and he can express his excitement.

Hua Man'er also pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Yes. It's great to see you again. Seeing you is like returning home. It's ridiculous, but I, Princess Jokhang, can only be with you , to be truly happy.”

"Princess, what happened? You and Li Muhan..." Huabao asked hesitantly.

Hua Man'er sneered: "When I went to the capital to rescue my mother, I accidentally found that his sweetheart Shi Yirou was still alive, so I rescued her by the way. Li Muhan has already accepted her as his concubine. From now on, Shi Yirou will be your princess .I wanted to die and gave them laxatives, so I was beaten by him, and ran out in a fit of anger."

"Pfft—" Hua Bao and Hua Zehao couldn't help laughing.

"I didn't expect the princess's stubborn temper to remain unchanged, no wonder his face is so ugly." Hua Bao laughed.

"That's not true, there must be a reason for my sister to do this. Although my sister is naughty, every time I teased someone in the past, it must be because that person has something to die for. Isn't that right, sister!" Hua Zehao put his arms around Hua Man'er. The waist is small, and it is tightly protected.

"Yes!" Hua Man'er also hugged Hua Zehao, "That's how it is. It's better to be a younger brother. He is my sister's confidant."

Huabao smiled and said: "The little prince and the princess are really siblings. During these days, I really missed my sister every day, arguing to find her, which gave me a headache. By the way, what is the princess going to do in the future? With Where are these barbarians going?"

Hua Man'er said seriously: "This is exactly what I want to discuss with Master. Master, I will draw Qixia Mountain for you to see."

Hua Man'er asked her master and younger brother to sit at the table together, took a pen and paper, and drew the topographic map of Mount Qixia based on her actual memory and the impression she saw in "Local Chronicles".

"Here, from now on will be the base of our barbarian army!" Hua Man'er continued to tell about Qixia Mountain, her relationship with Li Muhan, and Li Xuqing's hatred of this place.

Hua Leopard nodded: "This place is hidden, easy to defend and difficult to attack! And relying on mountains to eat, there is water and fruit, it seems that there is no need to worry about food and grass."

"Exactly!" Hua Man'er nodded, "The most important thing is that this place is very close to the capital!"

"Oh?"

"Master, think about it. When Li Muhan leads the army to fight all the way from the east, Li Xuqing will definitely concentrate his troops and fight with him. At that time, if we can send a surprise army from here to attack the capital, wouldn't it be more effective?" Man'er's beautiful eyes are burning, and she is still very confident in the way of using troops.

Hua Leopard clapped her hands and praised: "Indeed! This plan is brilliant! Our princess is really smart!"

Hua Man'er was stunned for a moment, and then smiled wryly: "Your princess? I don't know whose princess it is now? Dazhao's, or Barbarian's? Master, I only thank you, thank you for still being willing to believe in me and accept me. Instead of being like Li Muhan, because I am Li Xuqing's daughter, he regards me as an enemy."

"He...is that so?" Hua Zehao suddenly raised his bright and clear eyes, stared at Hua Man'er, and said through gritted teeth, "I hate him, I hate Li Muhan, he is not good to my sister, and he is not good to me. , They all said that he is my real brother, but I don't want him, I hate him!"

Hua Man'er was startled suddenly, hugged Hua Zehao, and explained: "Don't say that, Zehao, it's because he doesn't know. He is just like me, he can't help himself. He may hurt you, but that At that time, he didn't know that you were his younger brother. Zehao, can we forgive him?"

"No, I don't want to forgive him!" Hua Zehao pursed his lips, probably thinking of the pain he had suffered in the past, so tears burst out of his eyes.

"What about you? Princess, after Li Muhan hurt you so much, why are you still willing to help him?" Huabao asked.

Hua Man'er said seriously: "One thing is one thing. Li Muhan is a person who can live up to the world, but only me. I believe that he will be better than Li Xuqing when he becomes emperor. Besides, because he is a barbarian, we can only wait until he becomes the emperor." For the sake of the emperor, the barbarians will not be mutilated or killed. For the sake of the barbarians and the people of the world, I must help Li Muhan."

Hua Leopard was touched, and said seriously: "Then, I can also answer your question just now. You are not a barbarian princess, nor a Jokhang princess, but the princess of the world. Princess, you are the good one in the hearts of all the people in the world. Princess!"
