Chapter 182: Estrangement
Seeing Shu'er in a men's shirt, the expression of the man next to him changed, and he vaguely thought of the intention of his titular mother-in-law, and he didn't dare to lose his politeness in front of Qiu Liju. He bowed to his wife, "Mother is well." ”
Madame snorted lightly, didn't pay attention to it, but said directly to Qiu Liju, "The concubine is here to sue today." ”
"Sue?" Qiu Liju's sword eyebrows were provoked, and Qiu Liju was very respectful to his mother's wife who had a little influence in the Wuhuan tribe, although he was very dissatisfied with the behavior of gradually leaving and pushing the door in, but he did not reproach out loud, and he felt very strange when he heard the complaint of gradual departure. In the Wuhuan tribe, besides himself, who else dares to be rude to gradually leave? "Madame, please."
Gradually, Shu'er, whose face was a little red, pulled him in front of him, and told Qiu Liju what had just happened. Looking at Shu'er's torn clothes that he hadn't had time to change out of, and his pitiful appearance, Qiu Liju had already believed in the words that were gradually leaving.
Seeing that the matter could no longer be contained, he took the initiative to admit his mistake and said it quite sincerely.
In Qiu Liju's heart, Bandun was much more important than Shu'er, and he reprimanded Badun in a stern tone, but it was only a thunderstorm and a small rain, just a verbal reprimand, but there was no punishment for Badun. In the end, let Badun apologize to Shu'er.
Qiu Liju said next to him, "Although Badun is reckless, he may really like Shu'er. Our Wuhuan tribe has the custom of robbing relatives, but the behavior is a little extreme, please don't blame Mrs. If Shu'er wants to preserve her innocence, I can let Ban Dun marry Shu'er. Is this arrangement satisfactory to Madame? ”
Hearing Qiu Liju's words, the corners of his mouth with his head lowered showed joy, but Shu'er was discolored, and looked at Gradually Leaving nervously, for fear that Gradually Leaving agreed to Qiu Liju.
The reason why Shu'er wants to hide this matter is because of this reason, no matter how much Mrs. values her, she is just a servant, although Badun is Qiu Liju's righteous son, but also Shu'er's master, for a humble maidservant, Qiu Liju naturally will not blame Badun.
Shu Er, who had long guessed that this would be the current situation, was very nervous, for fear that she would gradually leave and agree to Qiu Liju's conditions. Although Shu'er has not had much contact with Bunton, it can be seen from today's events that he only has feelings for himself, but has no feelings. If Shu'er marries Badun, she may be able to get Badun's favor when she is young and beautiful, but if she enters middle age, how can she like it again when she is old and decrepit, and Shu'er can only stay alone in the empty room at that time.
Qiu Liju also wanted to calm things down, after all, it was not good for this matter to spread out. It will not only affect the reputation of Bunton, but also the fame of Qiu Liju. Although Qiu Liju was dissatisfied with Badun's behavior, after all, Badun was carried by Qiu Liju, and it was not only Badun's face that was lost by doing this kind of thing, but also Qiu Liju's. But if Shu'er marries Badun, the matter will be over, and wouldn't everyone be happy if they turn a bad thing into a good thing.
Although the Wuhuan tribe is not Han Chinese, the girl is somewhat free, but she is not completely free. For example, some political marriages will not take into account the feelings of the girl. If it weren't for Qiu Liju being the leader of the tribe, he would not have married Qiu Liju as his wife. The meaning of Qiu Liju's words gradually separated and it was very clear that Qiu Liju wanted to calm things down, as long as he gave Shu'er a name, then there was no such thing as rape. It's really calculating.
"Since the prince has apologized, the concubine will naturally not pursue anything, I just hope that the husband will be able to restrain some in the future, fortunately this time it is Shu'er, if it is another Wuhuan girl. I'm afraid things are not so easy to solve. Gradually, he didn't agree with Qiu Liju's approach, and after saying this, he ignored it and pulled Shu'er out of here.
After gradually leaving, Qiu Liju's face slowly became gloomy, and his dissatisfaction with Badun in his heart increased. When he gambled with Zhao Yi in the military tent of Nanlou that day, Qiu Liju was a little dissatisfied with Badun, and he was more cautious but less courageous. Although he was dissatisfied with Badun's performance at that time, he didn't say anything, and it was human nature to be afraid of death. But today, seeing Badun's behavior, the crack in his heart deepened. The instinct of human nature can still be understood, but after Shu'er's incident, Qiu Liju saw a terrible flaw in Badun, that is, his reason was not able to control his emotions, and when his emotions broke through his reason, he would act unscrupulously, completely ignoring the possible consequences of such actions.
originally thought that after experiencing Zhao Yi's gambling incident, Badun would be able to change. Two months have passed, and there has been no change in the slightest, which makes Qiu Liju very disappointed.
He is not afraid of making mistakes, young people have little experience, do wrong things and go the wrong way, this is very normal, it is not terrible for a person to take the wrong road, what he is afraid of is that person knows that it is wrong to do this, but he still does it.
And as a tribal general, if he acts like this, it is simply going to his death step by step. Let Qiu Liju dare to put the heavy responsibility in the hands of Badun.
Although Qiu Liju did not speak, this silent environment made Bun Dun feel even more stressed. If Qiu Liju scolded him harshly, or hit him twice, he would feel a little better in his heart. Because as long as Qiu Liju beats and scolds, it means that Qiu Liju has vented his anger. Holding it in his heart so silently made Bun Dun feel uneasy, not that he was worried that Qiu Liju was angry, but that he was worried about himself, Qiu Liju didn't say it, he didn't know what Qiu Liju was thinking about at all, and he didn't know what Qiu Liju would do with himself.
After a long time, Qiu Liju slowly opened his mouth and did not reprimand Bunton, but asked Bunton about the specific process of this matter.
Badun swallowed his saliva, this matter has been said again just now, Patun didn't know that Qiu Liju asked what was going on again, he didn't dare to hide it, and told the matter and told it, from the time he drank and left, until he was subdued by Gao Shun. He didn't dare to hide the situation in between. As he spoke, he kept looking up at Qiu Liju's expression, and when he saw Qiu Liju's face deepening and sinking, his heart was about to jump to his throat.
Qiu Liju stroked his beard, his eyes flashed, "The one who saved Shu'er is a Han man." At this time, it was already night, and the Han people did not rest in the courtyard, what did they run out for? ”
"That person knows the child, it is the captain of the guard of Zhou Ping's caravan." Seeing that Qiu Liju had focused on Gao Shun's body, he hurriedly told Gao Shun's identity, and Qiu Liju's words made Qiu Liju a little strange.
That's right, after dark, the Han people don't sleep in the courtyard, what is the matter with such a remote alley? Is there a secret to be hidden?
It is not the first time that Qiu Liju, the name of Zhou Ping, has been heard of for the richest businessman in Youzhou, and the pure dew business has been popular in Youzhou for just a year, and has become a sought-after item for the noblewomen of the Shi clan, and even the girls in their own tribe have a soft spot for this pure dew.
Let Zhou Ping come to the Wuhuan tribe, naturally with Qiu Liju's consent, he really wants to get to know this famous gentleman in Youzhou. Originally, he wanted to see Zhou Ping last night, but because of the visit of distinguished guests, there were many things in the tribe, so he was delayed. But from Gao Shun's behavior, Qiu Liju felt that the purpose of Zhou Ping's caravan coming to the Wuhuan tribe seemed to be more than just doing business.
"You will call Zhou Ping over tomorrow." Qiu Liju commanded, "Besides, you can interrogate the captain of the guard to see what flaws there are." After saying that, Qiu Liju didn't say anything more, but waved his hand to let Badun leave here.
Qiu Liju's cold waving expression made Badun sigh secretly, he already felt the estrangement between the two sides, and when he closed the door, Badun leaned against the door and sighed deeply and left here. Even if he found out that Gao Shun had a different purpose for going to the Wuhuan tribe, his previous style of acting had already left a bad impression in Qiu Liju's heart, and it depended on how much meritorious work he had done to make up for it?
Thinking of this, he slapped himself hard, why didn't he hold back it at the beginning.
Qiu Liju, Gradually Leaving and Bandun didn't fall asleep until late at night because of this incident.
In the early morning of the second day, when the first rays of sunlight shone on the Wuhuan tribe, there was a sound of chiseling wood in the courtyard where Zhou Ping lived.
"General Gao, it looks like we're going to stay in the Wuhuan tribe for a day." Zhou Ping stroked his beard and said, the Wuhuan tribe did not have a conflict with him yesterday, which made Zhou Ping's originally worried expression gradually stabilized. Although today's words are quite helpless, there is less panic in the tone.
Gao Shun didn't worry, the original depressed mood was swept away because of last night's incident. This can be regarded as the first step of success, and returning to Youzhou can be regarded as an explanation for Zhao Yi. Therefore, he did not panic, and indifferently watched the soldiers work, "Sir, don't worry, since they didn't do it yesterday, they won't do it today." Saying that, Gao Shun gave Zhou Ping a reassuring pill again, and said in Zhou Ping's ear, "Mr. Hugh should be alarmed, Lord Zhao has already passed down a secret order, and the army led by the county guard of Liaoxi will ambush the Wuhuan tribe ten miles away, if something happens to us, the county guard will personally lead the elite cavalry to help." ”
"Really?" Zhou Ping's eyes lit up, and the distance of ten miles only took a quarter of an hour for a cavalry, which made Zhou Ping feel at ease, and secretly said that it was really pleasant to cooperate with Zhao Yi.
What Gao Shun said is true, but the Liaoxi County Guard is Chen Bing ten miles away from the Wuhuan tribe, but it is not to respond to Zhou Ping, but to monitor the actions of the Wuhuan tribe.
Zhou Ping had confidence in his heart when he heard this, and waved his hand to stop the working soldiers, "Brothers, I have worked hard all day, and today I invite you to eat a whole sheep banquet, which can be regarded as a reward for everyone." ”
Zhou Ping's words made the corners of these soldiers' mouths show joy, and their mouths were even more ridiculous. The previous dissatisfaction with Zhou Ping was swept away because of this whole sheep banquet, and he said "Thank you, sir." ”
It's too easy to make a whole sheep feast in the Wuhuan tribe, and in less than half an hour, the mutton is on the stove. The soldier stared at the mutton, his eyes lit up, and he spoke happily.
Gao Shun and Zhou Ping were also chatting, suddenly Gao Shun had a smile on his face, turned his head to look out of the door, Zhou Ping felt a little strange, turned his head and looked outside the door, and saw a team of heavily armed Wuhuan soldiers walking in.
This situation startled Zhou Ping, and the mutton in his hand fell to the ground, what are these Wuhuan soldiers doing here?
