Chapter 23: Younger Brother

A notice has been posted outside that the city is going to be moved, but this is just to prepare the people, even if they are on the grassland, they have to prepare for a few days, and it is not easy to pack up their cattle and sheep.

Qin Xuan sat at home, looking at the building canine teeth busy coming and going, "Do you have to go along?" ”

In Qin Xuan's opinion, it is all a matter of the top, and it has nothing to do with her. Even if there are a lot of people leaving, it is impossible to empty the entire city, not to mention that there is a Qingshan Tuhe River near the Great Thorn City, and the grassland near the river is abundant, which is very suitable for grazing. How could such a good place be for all the herders to leave?

"Da Shan Yu has given an order, where can't he follow." The canine put one leg on his knees, collected what was in his hand, and did not lift his head.

The older generation of people are all called by the big single Yu, and the building canine simply learned this habit, and he didn't remember to change it when he spoke.

"Then you don't have to go together, and the notice doesn't say that everyone has to go, not to mention that it takes a lot of thought to eat, live, and travel when you get there." Qin Xuan said and frowned, this year's migration is a tiring thing, unless it is necessary, otherwise he really won't do it.

I don't know what Liaodong Gong thinks.

"Hey, you don't understand that." Gailou Cane heard from Qin Xuan's words that she didn't understand the customs of the grassland, and she was immediately happy, and it was rare to encounter something that Qin Xuan didn't know a few times.

"I heard Grandma say that when I was on the grassland before, I followed the tribe, and Da Danyu said whatever it was, especially when the cattle and sheep ate up the water and grass and couldn't stay any longer, if the people didn't follow Shan Yu to migrate, the cattle and sheep would not be able to survive at that time, and when other tribes came, the cattle and sheep would be robbed, and even their own families would be reduced to slavery."

The grassland has never been a place that pays attention to etiquette, righteousness and shame, and whoever is strong will listen to whomever is strong. One tribesman has no way to confront the rest of the entire tribe, and in order to protect himself, it is natural that the herdsmen will go wherever the tribe is.

"But it's not on the prairie either." Qin Xuan knew that Xianbei had its own rules, but she still couldn't figure it out, of course, there were many Xianbei herdsmen near Great Thorn City, but it wasn't rolling on the grassland after all. Even the rules have to be flexible, right?

"That's why you don't understand." The canine tooth of the building was triumphant, "It's still the same, although there are a lot more Han people nearby." When the Xianbei people arrived here, they didn't come from the grassland. You see those Han people who came to the Great Thorn City, which one is the same as the Xianbei people. ”

"Am I not?" Qin Xuan blinked and said this.

Qin Xuan is no different from Xianbei people when she arrives in this place, except for her hairstyle. Even Xianbei speaks more smoothly than Chinese.

"You're different!" The canine face of the building was about to turn red, "Anyway, Grandma said it, let's go together this time." Besides, you haven't been here for a long time, and you don't know that the Qingshan Tuhe River outside the city looks very good, but after the heavy rain in summer, the river rises, and maybe it will be flooded. ”

Qin Xuan sighed when she heard this, she really didn't want to move around. Moving everywhere made her feel adrift and insecure.

"Don't you think that when you get somewhere else, maybe something good will happen?" Gailou canine smiled, "By the way, you should think more about what Grandma said, the old people in the family will never harm you, and Grandma also thinks about you." I think you can make a difference in the future. ”

"Actually, I don't quite know what you think." Gailou said as he bent down and continued to pack his things, "You can find a good man for Ah Rui in the future." ”

"Hey." Qin Xuan was immediately unhappy when she heard the words "find a good man", Qin Rui's age was still just a child in her opinion, even if she knew in her heart that she would reach the so-called age of marriage in a few years, but when she heard someone mention it, she was still unhappy.

"Alright, alright. Really, or you will teach her to ride and shoot, after so long, her body is almost nourished. When the time comes, she will be wronged, and she will be able to clean up by herself if she has the ability. The canine knew that Qin Xuan felt sorry for Qin Rui, so he simply gave Qin Xuan an idea.

Usually Xianbei girls live like men, and they can basically do what men can do. Sometimes it's better than a man, so I really don't think it's a good thing that Qin Rui is so delicate.

"Hmm." Qin Xuan thought about it and nodded.

Recently, I have been busy moving the city, according to the rules, the Duke of Liaodong will go first, and then the other tribesmen will follow, of course, someone will go to Longcheng first to prepare, at least to settle down the family of the Duke of Liaodong, is it possible that everyone will live in a tent together at that time?

It is not the first time for the Murong Department to migrate, and those Xianbei herdsmen are also quite experienced, and it has only been more than ten years since they migrated to the Qingshan Tuhe River, which is rich in water and grass, and people who are a little old still have an impression. So when I gave the order, I didn't see any chickens and dogs jumping in the city.

Qin Xuan thought about it for two days, said a word to the Heba clan, and then took Xiao Hei out and let Qin Rui learn to ride a horse. The canines are right, women must still have some skills on their own. These days, the brain is not smart enough, and there must be some force.

Qin Rui was put on the back of a horse by Qin Xuan and looked at her with a blank eye, Qin Xuan looked at her sister's delicate face and sighed in her heart. Qin Rui's appearance is also relatively beautiful, she couldn't see it when she was young before, but this will be well raised, and the appearance of the beauty embryo has been fully displayed.

In this troubled world, it is really not a blessing that a woman is beautiful.

"Learn to ride a horse today, okay?" Qin Xuan took the reins of the horse and turned back to her sister and said.

"Well, good!" Qin Rui nodded, she remembered what her grandmother had said to her in the past two days, her mouth pursed, and when she had passed a while, Qin Rui thought for a while, "Brother, you go to the army." ”

"Huh?" When Qin Xuan heard Qin Rui's words, she thought for a moment that she had misheard, "Did Grandma ask you to say it?" ”

If it had been Hobat, it would have been possible.

"No, Grandma told me, but...... That's what I thought, too. Qin Rui looked at Qin Xuan's gaze, a little uneasy, she lowered her head, "Actually, in my heart, a brother is a brother." ”

The grandmother's face has long been blurred, and she can't even remember what the grandmother looks like. Over the years, whether it is at her uncle's house or now, her sister has taken care of her. In her opinion, Qin Xuan is already a brother, a brother who can protect her and bring her a peaceful life.

Sometimes Qin Rui thinks that it would be nice if her sister was really a brother. can protect her, no longer have to be bullied by others, and now, for the safety of the two sisters, Qin Xuan simply pretends to be a man. Qin Rui regarded her as a brother in her heart.

is so tall and reliable, he can protect her from the slightest beating.

"......" Qin Xuan frowned, she didn't go to the army, as a woman, some things are more troublesome, one is willing, the other is that there is a young sister at home, she can not care about her own life or death, but Qin Rui is her responsibility. No matter what, she wants Qin Rui to live peacefully.

"Only if Brother has a future, can we live a good life, right? Then there will be no one to bully us. Qin Rui thought of her uncle's family and those fierce clansmen, even though she knew that it was impossible for these people to catch her anymore, but when she said it, her body couldn't help but tremble.

"I don't want to be bullied anymore......" Qin Rui said and already cried, which attracted the sideways glances of passers-by next to her. She is young and good-looking, others can't help but take a few more looks, looking at such a little lady and crying, some people look at Qin Xuan's eyes a little weird.

Qin Xuan had to stop to comfort her sister, "With me, no one can bully you." ”

Seeing her sister's eyes red from crying, she sighed, this battle is not the same as ordinary hunting. She had never been on the battlefield, but when she was a child, she had heard Father Qin say a little about charging into battle.

Basically, there is only one, and the faster the first one dies. It's really not something that can be done by relying on so-called bravery.

She never felt that gender would be an obstacle for her, and in the past ten years, she also understands that regardless of men and women, only if they have enough strength can they survive well.

Back then, Surves was an inspiration to her, how was it in this era? When those clansmen were like wolves and tigers, didn't they clean up those clansmen with a whip?

Compared with playing tricks, it's really not as efficient as an old fist.

It's just that it's not who can fight better on the battlefield.

These words, even if they were said to Qin Rui, Qin Rui would not understand. She had to touch her sister's head and sigh in her heart.

Qin Rui cried for a while, and after the love calmed down, she stopped crying. Qin Xuan took her sister out of the city and arrived near the Qingshan Tuhe River not far from the city. At that time, Murong Minist chose this place because there were several rivers running through it, and the water and grass were abundant. It is not only suitable for learning the Han people to cultivate farmland, but also suitable for Xianbei herdsmen to graze.

It's going to be cold, but it's not cold yet, and there's still a little bit of green on the ground.

Qin Xuan told her sister a few key points of horseback riding, and after demonstrating it in person, she let Qin Rui explore it by herself. She really couldn't say much about horseback riding, she had been mixed with the Xianbei people in the neighborhood since she was a child. The Xianbei people were originally herding people, and when they were with them, they didn't need to be taught at all, and they got on the horse when they were old.

Qin Rui was a little clumsy and a little scared. Xin Qi Xiaohei is very familiar with her, standing there and tossing by her, sometimes seeing that she is not tall, she really can't come up, so she simply kneels down with her two front legs.

Qin Xuan's eyes were on her sister, but she never relaxed her guard around. This is all a habit developed on the road, those homeless people always seize all kinds of opportunities to rob, so they must be on high alert, even when they arrive in the Great Thorn City, they have developed a habit and can't change it.

When a slight cry of a horse appeared behind her, she looked back almost immediately.

She saw a white horse, tall and evenly fleshed, and she looked a little familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere. And when the white horse saw her, his big beautiful eyes immediately looked elsewhere.

It's just that the white horse wanted to turn the horse's head and hold his butt to Qin Xuan, but failed. The man on horseback held on the reins and did not let the white horse turn back.

Murong Hyun sat on the horse, and he still had a curved bow on his back. This time, he did not wear a Xianbei people's step crown on his head, but a Xianbei hat with a dome and a draped sheet.

The round-necked robe fits snugly, making it easy for him to move. At first glance, you can tell that you are running out to play.

Qin Xuan saw that it was Murong Hyun, pulled the reins of the horse, and was about to take her sister to another place.

But Xiao Hei was very excited when he saw the white horse over there, and he wanted to rush over there with his hoof. Qin Rui on horseback was almost knocked down.

Qin Xuan grabbed Xiao Hei and whispered in his ear, "Have you never seen a mare in your eight lives?" It doesn't look down on you! ”

She was holding Xiao Hei's lesson here, and Murong Hyun had already driven the horse over there. He got off the horse and led the horse in his hand, "Qin Lang, see you again." ”

The words were like a clear spring, and Qin Rui couldn't help but poke her head out.

Qin Xuan looked at his peach blossom face, and was powerless for a while, she had a way to deal with those fierce gods and evils, but the person in front of her was smiling, and his speech was soft and polite.

Unless you are unreasonable and arrogant to the extreme, I am afraid that you will speak ill of the person in front of you.

So Qin Xuan could only stare at him with a pair of dead fish eyes. It's not that she hasn't thought about what the man in front of her wants her, and she is not stupid, so she can't notice that he is deliberately approaching. But what is the intention behind this, it really makes people wonder, she doesn't think that she can have anything for the people in front of her to seek.

"Murong Langjun." When she heard that Murong Hyun had already called her "Qin Lang", she couldn't help but sore her teeth, which sounded a little numb.

"I didn't expect you to hunt here." Murong Hyun's eyes lit up as he looked at her, and he threw the reins of the horse to the family members who followed him as he spoke.

"What a coincidence, I met you again." Qin Xuan tugged at the corners of her mouth, a little lazy to even pretend.

"Lang Jun said last time that there was something in the city, is this time?" Qin Xuan remembered what Murong Hyun said last time and asked.

"Qin Lang thinks what it is." Murong Hyun smiled and didn't explain, he slowed down, "I have a single name, and I am the third in the family." ”

"......" Qin Xuan really wants to support her forehead now, if it is just a meeting in Pingshui, then it is enough to know what the other party's surname is, but this exchange of names and the like has a bit of deep friendship.

Poor see, she didn't mean this at all!

Looking at the young man in front of him looking at him with incomparable anticipation, Qin Xuan only felt that his mouth was pantothenic. This person is inexplicable, so inexplicable!

Xiao Hei was held by Qin Xuan because of the reins, so she could only look at the white horse grazing leisurely, Qin Rui touched Xiao Hei's mane, and glanced at Murong Hyun over there, she was about to speak, but she heard Qin Xuan speak, "I am the eldest in the family, and my single name is Xuan." ”

"The daylily of the daylily?" Murong Hyun blinked, and the smile on his face became even stronger.

"Exactly." Qin Xuan nodded.

Murong Hyun was about to speak, when a young man's immature call came from a distance beside him, "Third brotherβ€”β€”! ”

Turning his head, who is Murong Ming? Murong Ming is Murong Kui's favorite youngest son, and he even pampers Cheng DΓΉ more than his eldest son Murong Xu, and Murong Ming is still innocent and lively at this point, and he is also very sticky to his brothers.

Qin Xuan saw that there was another person coming, and judging from the title, it was a member of the Murong family, she thought about whether to let the nearby Xianbei witch give her a divination after she went back, whether it was not good for her to travel recently.

Murong Ming jumped off the horse and strode in front of Murong Hyun and Qin Xuan, the young man was very good-looking, with snow-white skin and beautiful eyebrows, he looked at Qin Xuan with a little curiosity.

"Fourth brother, have you forgotten all the lessons taught by the master?" Murong Hyun looked at Murong Ming with a pair of eyes looking at Qin Xuan, and couldn't help but remind.

The Murong family is not an ordinary Xianbei noble, since they arrived in the Great Thorn City, their children have to learn the books and etiquette of the Han people. Murong Kui's sons are naturally the same.

"It's not a good courtesy...... Murong Ming was a little unconvinced by what Murong Ming said.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Bear! Qin Xuan just wanted to roll her eyes. The pair in front of them are both Xianbei nobles, how is it different? Are they still brothers?

Murong Ming looked down at her hand, he raised his eyes, with a little innocence and liveliness unique to young people, "You know how to shoot arrows?" ”

"The villain was originally an Orion, so naturally he will." Qin Xuan replied.

"Orion?" Murong Ming looked at her again, as if he didn't believe her words, he leaned closer and looked at Qin Xuan, "You don't look like a hunter, but like a person with blood on your hands." ”

Murong Ming is not very old, but his father dotes on him, and he also meets many Xianbei generals, none of those generals have blood on their hands. Over time, he could naturally tell.

"......" Qin Xuan lowered her eyes and said nothing.

"Shiro!" Murong Hyun's words carried a hint of sternness, "Don't be rude, she is your ......"

"Huh? What is mine? Murong Ming looked at his brother with curiosity on his face, his eyes were like a newborn deer.
