If the world is like an infinite net, then every once in a while, a knot will be tied and then expanded in a new direction. If this web is woven by many people and countless things, unknowingly, then specific people will always encounter specific things. These things can be called "ends", the end of the past; they can also be called "beginnings", the beginning of the future.
What happened in Lengshui Town on September 7, the fifth year of Daxing Tiande, was such a knot, it ended something. For Liu Dabiao, he got the end of his long-awaited heroism; for Ayu, he fulfilled his duty as a brother and swam away with the Lengshui River; for Tianmenguan, he lost something Brother, he ensured that this mission could be completed.
For Prince Jiuhong and the Second Prince, what did this day bring to them? The world only knows that the second prince Kasaba escorted the prince Yutiz to Shengjing, and then returned to Jiuhong with the generous gift from Emperor Shang. It seemed that this day did not cause any ripples in their lives. However, there are many things that not many people are destined to know
On the evening of September 14th, Jiuhong and his party arrived in Shengjing.
On September 15th, Prince Jiuhong and the second prince went to court to see the young emperor of Daxing. Emperor Shang granted Yutiz the unprecedented honor of living in the palace and studying under the Grand Master Min Cang, which caused a series of uproar among the officials.
On September 20, several days of fierce disputes ceased to exist after the second prince Kasaba confirmed that the contents of the letter of credence submitted previously were true. The Shang Emperor Longyan Dayue, with the support of the Prime Minister Min Cang, overcame all opinions and implemented the previous edict.
On September 21st, at You hour, the sun was setting in the west, and the lingering white clouds turned red in the cheeks. What Yutiz loved most was to stand at the door of the tent and stare blankly at the sunset on the horizon. Because there are lions, giant dragons, and galloping horses; because when the clouds dissipate, there will be cheese made by Eji and roasted lamb legs.
However, at this beautiful dusk, Yutiz refused to raise his head to look at the unfamiliar yet familiar sky. He just lowered his head and remained silent. His favorite and closest brother, Kasaba, is going back. For some reason, Yutiz was reluctant at first to have Kasaba protect him and come here, not wanting his brother to be in danger because of him; now, however, I am sad, and when it is time to leave, I can¡¯t bear to leave the person in front of me.
Eutiz¡¯s big eyes, which were originally full of starlight, were now much darker, just like the darkening sky. Kasaba could understand Yutiz's mood at this time, stretched out his hand, gently rubbed his brother's little head, and said gently: "My dearest brother, why don't you raise your head and look at your brother?"
If you don¡¯t see him, he will always be in your heart. Yutiz was still young, but he just felt that if he raised his head, he would have to watch his brother leave and go away; if he raised his head, he would look at the Daxing night sky, and he didn't know if Jiuhong's stars would appear there. Here; if he raised his head, he would be alone, and he didn't know when he would see his brother, Eji, and his father again.
Kasaba is a wise man in the grassland, so why can't he see what kind of thoughts are accumulated in his little brother's heart. Slowly squatting down, he stared quietly into his brother's clear eyes with eyes full of wisdom: "My dearest brother, Eutiz, do you still remember what I once said to you?"
"Remember", Yutiz nodded, wiped his eyes with his hands, and said: "Brother Kasaba said that there are stars in my eyes, so I must become a man with the sky in my chest from now on!"
Hearing this, Kasaba smiled softly, with indescribable tenderness on his face, and said, "In that case, are there any men on the grassland who keep their heads down?"
Raising his head and puffing out his small chest, Yutiz looked at Kasaba with his big eyes covered with moisture. Although his voice was childish, it contained incomparable determination: "Brother Kasaba, I understand, Yutiz I will never bow my head again!"
"Hahahaha! This is my good brother." Kasaba smiled happily, and then, with a straight face, he said seriously to Yutiz: "What I say next, no matter whether you can understand it now or not , you must keep them all firmly in mind, and you must always follow them, okay?¡±
Yutiz didn't know why his brother suddenly became so solemn, but what his brother did and said was always correct, so Yutiz didn't say anything and nodded hard to the brother he trusted and respected so much. nod. Seeing this, Kasaba stretched out his hand again and rubbed his brother's little head, and said softly: "Listen carefully, this is Daxing, a Daxing full of conspiracies and intrigues. There are no friends here! Don't trust anyone except yourself. Can you promise me this?"
"I believe in Brother Kasaba, I believe in Eji, and I believe in Abba. But this is not Jiuhong Grassland, so Yutiz believes in himself!" Yutiz said seriously.
Kasaba nodded with satisfaction and continued: "The little emperor of Daxing seems to like you very much.I gave you such generous treatment. But you have to remember that all this is just a dream. You have to make good use of it and work hard to become stronger and smarter. You want to become a man who is the best in the world. One day, you want to become the king of the grassland! Can you promise me this? "
Yutiz's biggest wish is to become the next generation of Atakam, and then marry an Iskam who is as kind as Erji. He has never thought about becoming "the most powerful man in the world", let alone his dearest love. Brother Kasaba, who is qualified to become the king of the grassland? However, since his brother said so, it was correct, so Yutiz nodded silently.
"After today, you will be alone. So, you have to be strong and take good care of yourself! One day, I will come here and take you back." Kasaba has secretly made up his mind in his heart, no matter what No matter what means, no matter what method is used, Jiu Hong's iron hoof must crush every inch of Daxing's rivers and mountains! Just to take back her brother, just to take back her only child! "When the time comes, what I hope to see is a healthy, strong, and smart Yutiz. Can you promise me this?"
Yutiz felt that it was difficult for his small heart to accommodate so many emotions and so many hopes, but he could not disappoint brother Kasaba. If his brother asked him to do it, he would do it no matter what! Nodding is still a silent nod, but for the man on the grassland, nodding is a promise, and his promise must be fulfilled!
"Swear in the name of the Earth Goddess!" Kasaba believed in Utiz, but still needed a guarantee.
Hearing this, Yutiz clasped his hands on his chest, leaned down, kissed the ground gently, and solemnly said: "I swear in the name of the Earth Goddess, I, Yutiz, will definitely remember Kasaba." What brother said. And I will always do what brother Kasaba said!"
At this time, Yutiz didn¡¯t know that the oath he swore would eventually force him to do many things he couldn¡¯t help himself. Of course, Kasaba didn¡¯t know either. The wise man on the grassland does not have the ability to predict the future. He just knows what to do now. Kasaba took something out of his arms and handed it to Yutiz, "You should keep this thing safe, maybe it will be of great use in the future!"
Yutiz took a closer look and found that the thing turned out to be a small square silver sign with strange animals engraved on it, as if they were chasing and playing in the forest; on the other side were engraved several trees with human faces. They seemed to be talking about something. How can this small brand with no apparent material or purpose be of great use? However, Kasaba was not wrong. Yutiz immediately put the sign close to his body and nodded to his brother.
Kasaba smiled with satisfaction, but there was indescribable loneliness, helplessness and guilt in this smile. Yutiz is too young, and there are some things that cannot be told to him now. Turning around, now that he was looking at Jiuhong, Daxing was behind him, but Yutiz was also behind him. However, Kasaba can't look back. He doesn't want his brother to know that he also has a fragile side; Kasaba must leave, because there are some things that only he can do!
Driving away, Kasaba stayed in the car without saying a word, and did not dare to look at Yutiz again. He will live a good life. Although he has no relatives around him, at least he left the "mud" to Yutiz, which can be regarded as a trace of his hometown. However, there was one more thing that was left to Yutiz. Kasaba whistled in the empty car. Then, there was a slight vibration on the roof of the car, and a shadow came in along the window, half-kneeling in front of Kasaba.
Black clothes, black shoes, black headband, everything is black, no face can be seen at all, and there is no way to guess who this mysterious figure is, not even the age of the man or woman. Kasaba didn't seem to be looking, he just stared far ahead and said faintly: "Yueying, I'll leave it to you, Yutiz!"
He nodded and left, disappearing as if he had never appeared before. Kasaba was alone in the car again. Maybe you can get a glimpse of what he is thinking from his deep eyes. Maybe that mysterious man is a very outstanding person, so Kasaba will give him the task of secretly protecting Yutiz. Maybe only by hiding a secret can Kasaba feel a little at ease?
Kasaba just heard him murmuring: "My dearest brother, take care of yourself!" In fact, Kasaba believed that there was still someone in Daxing who could help him. It's just that sometimes, believing in yourself is not a bad thing. Moreover, Kasaba was not sure whether the person far away in Cangzhou, who had been conducting tea-horse trade with him in tacit agreement, would still be willing to stand with him without any obvious benefit. .
Everything depends on oneself. This time when I go back to Jiuhong, some things must be solved! Kasaba looked bitterly in the direction of Jiu Hong, silently falling into new thoughts
