Chapter 5: Deer Hunting (25)

、、、、、、、

Outside the big tent, Li Xu's footsteps became slower and slower, and as soon as he turned around, he could bypass the side of the big tent and break into the door of the tent. But his body was as heavy as lead, and he couldn't take that crucial step. Su Si Fuli is not wrong at all, what he can provide for Su Si has been provided all, but the Turkic royal court has 200,000 wolf riders!

200,000 wolf riders, thinking about the slaughter when he broke through Suotou Xi that day, Li Xu only had a piece of blood left in front of him.

"Detachment can fight side by side with us to resist external humiliation!" Tao Kuo shouted hoarsely. As Su Si was talking, she saw many elders nodding frequently. Even Elder Shetshago, who was the best for himself and attached to him, couldn't help but hang his head. A feeling of despair enveloped her whole body, but she couldn't accept this fate, never!

"That Han man won't fight alongside us, he's a deserter!" Su Sili sneered and turned his gaze to everyone present, "I have privately found a few vendors and asked about the origin of that Han boy. The Great Sui Emperor wanted to attack Goguryeo, but those Han boys didn't dare to go, so they fled to our tribe under the pretext of doing business. Think about it, will a coward who is not willing to fight for his own people shed blood for the tribe of others? ”

"Detachment is not a coward, attachment is not ......" Tao Kuotuosi cried out in despair. She wanted to defend her sweetheart, but she couldn't deny that her uncle was telling the truth. Li Xu had nothing to hide from her, why she came to the Ministry of Mischief, and why she didn't go home in a hurry, she knew it clearly.

"Would a coward who is unwilling to fight for his own people shed blood for someone else's tribe?" Li Xu stood beside the felt tent, his face pale, and his body shrunk into withered grass in the wind. Eru had already chased after him, took his hand and walked towards the door of the felt tent, but she couldn't pull him still.

In desperation, he saw Tao Kuo Tuosi rushing out of the felt tent crying. He saw Eru crying and chasing after Tao Kuotuo, and he saw the Su Si warrior in front of the felt tent door glaring at him, his eyes full of disdain.

The boy told his men to be merciful to their enemies, and advised them to put down their swords and arrows and be friends with their enemies. Such a coward, why do you want the warriors of my tribe to ......" In the empty tent, Su Si's voice lingered back and forth.

The ministers and elders were silent, and everyone knew in their hearts that Su Si's words may not be true. No matter where that Han kid came from, what he has done in the Su Si Department in the past six months has nothing to do with the word "cowardice". But for the sake of an alien boy to offend the younger brother of the Sil patriarch, there is really no need for this head. Moreover, apart from sacrificing that Han family boy, the Zhufei Alliance Army has no second way to choose at the moment.

The benefits of marriage were obvious, and with the Turks as their great backers, the Syr patriarch could rightfully take over the crown left by his ancestors from the hands of the stubborn Da Ejin and reunite all the descendants of the white swans into one team. Countless small tribes around will surrender one by one to the hooves of the horses. In the eastern part of the desert, no one will dare to compete for the glory of the Xi clan for thousands of miles between the weak Luoshui and the Limoshui (Songhua River), and the time to recreate the glory of the ancestors is just around the corner.

More obvious than the benefits of marriage is the terrible outcome of rejecting the kindness of the Ashina family. A tribe with a population of millions and 200,000 wolf riders is no match for the Coalition of Horsemen with only a few thousand men. No matter how strong the power of the holy wolf is, no matter how deep the wisdom of the sage Xu is, when the wolf rider arrives, it will be the day when the grassland is stained red with blood. Even if the Turks did not send troops to conscript because of the refusal of the Susi tribe to marry, as long as the Ashina family clearly expressed their support for the Zhishi Bada Ejin, those small tribes who were in a wait-and-see state would definitely immediately join the Zhizhi Pull. What was left for Su Si was still a catastrophe.

Take 10,000 steps back to think about it, even if the Ashina family is so generous that they laugh at the humiliation of refusing to marry, there is a marriage contract between the Asilan family and the Qiyu family, and on the grassland where the strong are respected, where will the position of the Sil patriarch be placed?

Everyone didn't need to choose at all, and when the Turkic envoy proposed that the nephew of Qimin Khan, Ashina Gutuolu, marry Susibu, the outcome had already been written. There is a country behind the Ashina family, and the attached lord has nothing but himself.

"That Han boy tried to teach the wolf to eat grass, and his apparent kindness and hypocrisy have confused many herdsmen......" Su Si attached to the detachment and loudly counted Li Xu's "crimes", looking for a reason for the tribe's final decision. Judging by the elders' expressions, he knew he had won. The White Swan Crown belongs to the Su Si Ministry, and any outsider who threatens him must be completely eradicated before the signs are revealed.

Suddenly, Su's words were plugged into his throat. He saw two guards standing in the doorway knocked to the ground. Then, he saw an angry leopard slowly approaching him.

"Lord Su Si is attached to it, if you want to befriend the Ashina family, please don't insult me, and don't insult yourself!" Li Xu pressed the handle of the knife and walked to the center of the big tent step by step. Several tribal warriors in charge of the security of the big tent tried to rush over to stop them, but they were forced by his gaze and stopped with some shame.

"Attached, what are you going to do?" The elders of the Su Si Department shouted. In his current status, he has the absolute right to participate in the decisions of the clan. However, the Holy Wolf Guard was lazy by nature and rarely came to the central tent, so the elders were accustomed to ignoring his presence when they deliberated.

Today, no one invited, but he came out of nowhere. As soon as he entered the door, his body was full of murderous aura, as if everyone present was his enemy, as if he was ready to draw a knife and wash the big tent in blood.

Li Xu sneered, his angry gaze swept over the elders' faces one by one. Before entering the big tent, his heart was still full of words of inferiority and self-pity, and at this moment, all inferiority and self-pity have long been replaced by rebelliousness. He saw clearly the hypocrisy hidden behind the kindness, and saw clearly the tribe that needed him to fight as a "coward". Everyone who met his gaze involuntarily tilted their heads away. It was the descendants of the White Swan who had failed their friends, and no matter how good the reason for betrayal, everyone could not face the eyes of the Holy Wolf guards with confidence.

"According to the rules of the grassland, if a person is insulted, he can use the blood of the rumor-monger to shame himself. Su Si attached to the adult, after a pillar of incense, I will teach you archery skills in the open space outside the tent! Li Xu retracted his gaze and said steadily standing in the center of the big tent.

His voice was not high, but his words were clear. After learning Turkic for nearly a year, he was able to use every word appropriately. There are not so many laws among the wolves, and all disputes between each other can be resolved with teeth. If Su Si does not accept his challenge today, he will never be able to gain a foothold in the tribe from now on.

The big tent was in chaos, and no one expected that the plain and honest and somewhat pedantic detachment would use such an extreme way to settle the dispute. Some people were surprised, some people scolded, and some people secretly shook their heads in their hearts for Li Xu's reckless behavior. Su Si Fuli is a well-known warrior in the tribe, whether it is hunting or fighting between the two armies, he has never encountered an opponent.

Everyone was in a panic, and Li Xu's unusually calm voice sounded in their ears again: "Attach to the status of the adult, don't find someone else to accept the challenge of a Han boy for yourself!" ”

The four words of the Han family boy, Li Xu bit very hard, and deliberately brought the contemptuous tone of Su Si when he spoke.

"You!" Su Si was forced to panic by the murderous aura on Li Xu's body, and originally wanted to agree to the challenge without hesitation, but somehow, the words suddenly turned into another kind of rhetoric: "You are a junior in the clan, and you can't challenge the elders according to the rules!" ”

"Have you, each of you here, ever considered me your own today?" Li Xu heard his voice echoing in the tent, and in an instant, he felt that his mind was extremely clear.

The fierce gaze swept over each elder's face again, and still no one dared to look up at him. I'm a Han kid, and they don't treat me as their own family at all. A few sneers slowly appeared on Li Xu's face, and with a smile, he said to everyone: "I am not a warrior of the Su Si Tribe, and challenging the patriarch's brother is not disrespectful to the elders. After that, I won't be staying here either, and tomorrow morning, I'll leave after sunrise! ”

"What about the Holy Wolf?"

"How do you arrange the holy wolf?" blurted out a chaotic question. After asking, the person who spoke suddenly realized that he had asked stupidly, and his mouth was like an egg stuck, open and closed.

"Patriarch Syr, will you allow me to leave with Ganro?" Li Xu didn't answer everyone's words, and turned his gaze to Su Sixier, who was sitting on the iron chair and had not spoken. The clear gaze was as cold as electricity. Representing the authority of the patriarch, the once unattainable iron chair instantly shortened in his eyes.

For more than half a year, as long as he was in the tribal camp, Ganluo was inseparable from Tao Kuo. And when Tao Kuo ran out of the tent, Gan Luo was nowhere to be seen.

Su Sibu had already prepared for the worst, and Li Xu knew that no matter what he did today, Ganluo would not be able to follow him. There is only one Holy Wolf, but the Holy Wolf Guards can be changed frequently.

Wolves love their own population, but they are never stingy to show their teeth to creatures outside their group.

The development of the situation was completely out of Sir's control, and this was by no means the outcome he hoped to see. He also has one of his youngest daughters, named Aaron, who only needs to wait another three years before he can choose someone else's tent. Like all the young maidens in the tribe, Aaron was full of adoration when he spoke of the Holy Wolf Guard.
