In February, Tuoba sent a message, instructing Tuoba Yabu to inherit the name of the head of the Tuoba family. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 On the surface, this move is just an overlap of real power within the Tuoba family, and its deep meaning is a step on the road to Tuoba Yabu's path to the prince of the Nan Kingdom, as well as a tentative signal to the ministries.

The wedding of Qiang Nan Wang Shan Yugong is imminent, and the top and bottom of Nanzhai are busy with the wedding arrangement, and the haze of the previous battle against the Qiang North tribe has been swept away, and everyone's face is full of joyful smiles.

The protagonists of the wedding, Xi Tao and Xiao Rao, who were married on this day, dressed up in the boudoir.

Chan'er methodically guided all the links before the wedding, ensuring that everything was arranged properly, and then walked into the stone watchroom where Xi Tao was, took the hair comb from the maid's hand, and personally combed Xi Tao's hair in a bun.

"Princess, how can I bother you to comb your slave's hair......" Xitao showed a hint of panic in her expression.

"From childhood to adulthood, you and Xiaorao have taken care of me, and today I will dress you up beautifully. You can be a bride with peace of mind. Chan'er smiled, held Xitao's shoulder, waited for her to sit firmly, and carefully selected the hair ornament worn by the bride.

"Thank you, princess. The princess treats the slave and the little lady like a mountain, and the slave and the maid are very grateful for today's wedding. Xi Tao looked at Chan'er in the mirror, her eyes slightly red.

"Nanzhai is no better than Gudu, there is only a limit to what I can do, so I can only send a letter back to the palace and let Qihong hurriedly buy your dowry and escort it over. You and Xiaorao grew up with me, and now that you are married, of course I can't let you be wronged. ”

"But...... Nanzhai is so far away from Prince Gong's mansion, and the slave and maid will not be able to serve the princess in the future. ”

"Fool, if you marry Brother Shan Yu, you will be the princess of Qiangnan. As a princess, what else do you talk about serving others? Also, you're going to change your name, you know?"

"The princess will always be the princess of the peach. ”

"But from today onwards, your focus has to be on the other person. Brother Shan Yu has a straightforward personality and can't hide his love for you, I believe that he will spoil you and protect you in this life. ”

"I am full of admiration for the prince, we have not known each other for a long time, and I can get the prince to marry with the double etiquette of the Qiangnan tribe and the lonely country, I only feel that I am too happy. ”

"You don't need my advice on your temperament, you will definitely be a particularly virtuous princess. Chan'er and Xi Tao in the mirror looked at each other and smiled, and said, "But Xiaorao is still a little reckless, but fortunately, she and Tie Yin have a deep relationship, and they just snuggle up and support each other." ”

After the tea time, Chan'er walked out of the peach house, turned around and came to Xiaorao's boudoir, and saw that Xiaorao was touching up her makeup, so she also stepped forward to take over. Xiaorao also blocked it, and then sat down again, looking at Chan'er who was busy beside her, and her eyes were wet with tears.

"How can a bride shed tears on a happy day? Chan'er tried her best to hide the sadness in her heart and said with a smile to Xiaorao.

"The slave is reluctant to give up the princess. In the past few days, the princess and the princess have worked hard for the marriage, and the slave has never had the opportunity to say thank you to the princess. ”

"Actually, you and Xitao are a few months older than me, they are my sisters, you have delayed your marriage for me for a long time, and now is the right time to marry your lover. ”

For the sake of the slave maid, the princess specially invited the princess Tuoba to be a lobbyist, so that the slave and maid would marry Xi Tao on the same day. The slave maid is stained with the light of the prince and the peach marriage. ”

"You and Xitao have always been inseparable, and now that you are married at the same time, I am also a lot more relieved. Tie Yin is a person from Yinchen Xuan, if you want to stay in Nanzhai or return to Yinchen Xuan after you get married, decide for yourself. ”

"The slave and maid went back to the palace to wait for the princess. Xiao Rao said without thinking.

"You, with a husband, you can't be willful anymore. Chan'er shook her head and said, "The place where Tie Yin is is your home." ”

When Xiao Rao heard this, the tears she had just collected were about to burst again. Chan'er hurriedly diverted Xiaorao's attention and said:

"By the way, Qihong is very heartfelt, and brought a lot of small belongings from his daughter's family from Lonely, and you will count them slowly after the wedding. ”

"Hmm......" Xiao Rao choked up.

At this time, bursts of firecrackers sounded outside the house, and Chan'er listened for a while and said:

"Firecrackers were also bought by a lonely country. Soon it will be an auspicious time, don't cry anymore, let's quickly make up for your makeup, Tieyin is waiting for you outside. ”

Xiao Rao nodded, trying her best to laugh, it was indeed a very happy thing for her to be able to stay with Tie Yin for a lifetime. Thinking like this, Xiao Rao's mood gradually calmed down as usual.

Xu is the two couples of the marriage ceremony held together, coupled with Tuoba Yabu and Chan'er personally organized, the grand wedding is self-evident, related trivial matters are naturally numerous, Tuoba Yabu this day is also not idle, close to the auspicious time, only to come to the side of Shan Yugong.

"Congratulations to my brother-in-law, who got married today. Tuoba Ya Brown said in a loud voice.

"I also want to thank my brother for pulling the strings in the middle. If you hadn't brought Sister Chan'er to me, I don't know how many years I would have to. Shan Yugong responded with a smile to Tuoba Yabu.

"It's easy to get acquainted, and you really promise three lives, but you fight for it yourself. Tuoba Yabu thought for a moment and smiled indifferently.

"The righteous brother is already the head of the Tuoba family, and a good wife must be added to the family. When you meet the girl you admire, don't miss it. ”

"Of course. The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention, Tuoba Yabu said this, but his heart couldn't help but churn.

Chan'er is a good girl who is hard to find in her life, but she is a woman who is happy with her brother and sister. Tuoba Yabu is unwilling to take away his brother's love, and Chan'er is not allowed to pursue in front of him, and the bitterness in his heart is indescribable.

The marriage ceremony is a combination of north and south, with the Qiangnan customs of throwing pots and archery, as well as the traditional ritual music and dance of the lonely country.

The bonfire dinner at dusk is the final part of the wedding ceremony. Accompanied by festive music, Tuoba Yabu held a wine bag in his hand, raised his head and drank the self-brewed liquor in Nanzhai, with a smile on his lips, but he couldn't hide the loneliness in his eyes.

Laughing in the spring breeze, dancing in Luo Yi, you will return home if you are not drunk today?

Chan'er, who was standing on the opposite side of the bonfire, watched Xitao and Xiaorao follow her sweetheart into the marriage room, and her mind couldn't help relaxing, and her beautiful face became more and more charming against the background of the bonfire. Tuoba Yabu stared at Chan'er quietly, just as Chan'er silently watched the bonfire jumping, her thoughts in a trance. Time passed little by little, and both of them unconsciously watched it stupid......

At this moment, there are two people who are as melancholy as Tuoba Yabu. One is Liao Wu, who pursued Helian Jialu in the Nandu but couldn't, and the other is Guan Shu, who heard that Helian Jialu was in love in the Moge, and was saddened by it.

The three of them, under the moon, and at the same time in different places, were depressed and unhappy, and borrowed wine to kill their sorrows.

"Princess Jialu has been in and out of the teahouse with a Chinese painter for one night many times, talking and laughing, the two seem to have a very tacit understanding, and they are also a little close to each other......" After the person in charge of investigating the daily situation of Nanguo brought back this information, Guan Shu's mind kept echoing this sentence. With his understanding of Helian Jialu, the weight of this painter in Jialu's heart is definitely different from Liao Wu, even himself, and he is no longer an irreplaceable person.

The sparks of the prairie reflect the flowers, but the love is unspeakable.

Guan Shu was a little drunk, splashed ink and wrote two lines, and then looked up at the bright moon in the sky, no matter how much sorrow he swallowed with the wine.

Get drunk and forget about it.

On the third day after the wedding, Shan Yugong invited Tuoba Yabu and Chan'er to meet each other, Xue Feng and Huang Feng stayed by Chan'er's side as usual, and went to Shan Yugong's residence together. After meeting, several people learned that there was new news from the Qiangbei side.

"Brother Yi lived in Nanzhai to help retreat from the enemy, and now he has taken over the position of the head of the family, which makes my Qiangnan tribe very strong, and I think that Taka has been sleeping and eating for many days. In order to expand his power, he actually came up with a marriage strategy and tried to win over the Wuhuan family. Shan Yugong said.

"Oh, I remember that King Wuhuan only had one daughter of marriageable age. Could it be that Fei Taka heard that you are marrying, and you are also going to marry the county lord of the Wuhuan clan?" said Tuoba Yabu.

"Just as the righteous brother said. The relationship between the Qiangbei and the Uyghur was at a stalemate, and the eldest princess of Tingyu had not given birth to an heir for two years, so he sent an envoy to Wuhuan to ask for marriage, intending to marry another princess to strengthen his position. ”

"The Wuhuan tribe has never been involved in the dispute between the northern and southern Qiangs, and now the Qiangnan tribe is gaining momentum. Xue Feng said.

"yes. Chan'er nodded, looked at Tuoba Yabu and said, "If I were the king of Wuhuan, I would marry my daughter to Brother Tuoba and get closer to the country." ”

Tuoba Yabu and Chan'er looked at each other, shook their heads with a smile, and did not answer. Shan Yugong then said:

"Sister Chan'er, you don't know anything. The Wuhuan people are located in the northeast, although they are bordered by the northern and southern Qiang peoples, but the south is a vast sand sea. We are separated from the Wuhuan people by the desert and do not have much contact, but the Qiangbei tribe and the Wuhuan people drink the melting snow water of the Qiangwu Snow Mountain, but they share weal and woe. ”

"In this way, the Qiangbei and Wuhuan clans could have reached an agreement a long time ago, so why wait until today. Chan'er said.

"The land of Wuhuan is an oasis in the desert, although the sand sea in the south is vast, and there are also deserts in the west and the junction of the Qiangbei people, all of which are inaccessible. Therefore, the Wuhuan tribe only guards the clan boundary all the year round, and it is impossible to talk about which side it has become a reinforcement. Tuoba Yabu added.

"In that case, even if the two sides form an alliance because of drinking water, how much combat power can the Wuhuan clan provide?" Xue Feng asked.

"If only the military horses are counted, the strength of Wuhuan will not affect the overall situation. But according to rumors, the Wuhuan people know wolf language and know how to control wolves. Once the wolves join and cross the sand sea to attack Nanzhai, the consequences will be unpredictable. Shan Yugong said with a serious expression.

"Is there a way for Brother Shan Yu to form an alliance with the Wuhuan clan before the Qiangbei tribe?" asked Chan'er.

"I know that this news is late, and at this moment, the envoy of the Qiangbei tribe is only afraid that he has arrived at the Wuhuan tribe realm. ”

"If you can't form an alliance with them, you might as well try to break the marriage between the two clans, and if the marriage fails, the alliance will naturally collapse. Xue Feng said.

"That's exactly what I mean. Shan Yugong said, "If you set off from Nanzhai tomorrow, go to the desert into Wuhuan, and intercept the envoys of the Qiangbei tribe on their way back, it should be too late." ”

"Are there people in Nanzhai who are familiar with the desert?" Tuoba Yabu asked.

"Yes. The two winners of the 'Clusterless Hunting' the year before last were both good at knowing the desert sand sea. ”

Hearing this, Tuoba Yabu nodded, remembered something in an instant, and said:

"If the Qiangbei tribe sent an envoy to return with only the promise of King Wuhuan, this method would naturally be feasible. But what if there is also a family send-off team from the Wuhuan County Lord who returns to the Qiangbei clan?"

"What my brother said was that I had ignored it. There was a lot of delay between Qiangbei and Wuhuan, and with Taka's personality, this trip must always be effective. Shan Yugong said, pondering for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Sister Fang Caichan'er's words are good." ”

"Hmm?" Chan'er didn't react for a while, what did Shan Yugong mean.

"You said that the Wuhuan tribe and the Qiangbei tribe are married, it is far better to choose a righteous brother. Shan Yugong's gaze turned to Tuoba Yabu, and he said with a wink, "If the righteous brother thinks that the Wuhuan clan is worth reining in, why not marry this Wuhuan county lord and kill two birds with one stone." ”

"Brother-in-law is not allowed to joke. I don't have that in mind. As Tuoba Yabu spoke, he glanced at Chan'er, intentionally or unintentionally.

Chan'er saw Tuoba Yabu looking over, naturally she didn't know what she was thinking, she just thought that he was going to help solve the siege by herself, so she said:

"Let the Wuhuan County Lord find another good son-in-law, this can be a try. However, Tuoba's brother had no intention of marrying...... So, what does the eldest brother think?"

Xue Feng was shocked at Shang Chan'er's gaze, and immediately shook his head and said:

"I have often wandered in the rivers and lakes, and I have never thought about such a marriage. ”

As Xue Feng's words fell, the eyes of several people couldn't help but look at Huang Feng, who had not spoken for a long time. Huang Feng only felt nervous and inexplicable, and said in a panic:

"Princess, this ...... The subordinates don't understand the ......"

Chan'er looked at Huang Feng, her eyes were full of smiles, she nodded and said:

"Okay Huang Feng, don't shirk it. I have confidence in you, and you can reap the heart of the county lord. ”

Xue Feng seemed to be worried that Huang Feng would shirk it and things would fall on him, so he nodded extra hard and patted Huang Feng's shoulder with an expression of "you must be able".

"Well, so be it. Tuoba Yabu then said, in a word, he would not give Huang Feng a chance to regret it.

Seeing this, Shan Yugong couldn't help laughing, and laughed out loud.
