200 Marriage (1)
This is the first time that Princess Anping has entered the grassland, in Xiangqiang, there are no pavilions, no small bridges and flowing water, only the vast wilderness, the clear blue sky, and the herds of horses...... Xu Yuan looked at this strange everything, and only felt that the world was quiet, the breeze blew gently, and the grass waves rose and fell with the wind, which seemed extremely comfortable. However, beneath the seemingly calm surface, there is actually an undercurrent.
It's a pity that Xu Yuan didn't catch up with the good time, now is not the most stable moment in the grassland, Xiang Qiang is divided, there are two khans, and the grassland is turbulent. As soon as Yereyi and the others entered the steppe, General Lise had been waiting here for a long time. They escorted Wei Wu Kedun, Shizi and Princess Anping to Danyang City together.
They were still several days away from Danyang City, and Ye Leyi was afraid that his mother and Xu Yuan would be tired of driving, so he was not in a hurry. She herself chatted with General Lisse, who came to greet her.
Yeleyi asked, "Is Father Khan good, but Chishui is good?" When I wasn't there, was there any movement in Tuoba Yan? β
General Lise smiled: "Second Miss, don't worry, everything is fine." I've been sending people to investigate over there, but I haven't found any action from them. β
"You didn't find it, but I did." Ye Leyi thought of Qin Luo and sighed secretly, "Tuoba Yan sent people into Chu, intending to destroy the peace relationship." β
After hearing this, General Lise laughed and said, "They must be afraid, afraid that we will attack them in alliance with Southern Chu." Fortunately, the second lady has an embankment, and the relatives were not damaged by them. β
"They tried to sow discord, but unfortunately it was too obvious and did not succeed." Ye Leyi said, "It's just that I have a faint hunch that this matter is not over yet." I'm afraid they'll have some tricks. β
"Why don't we let the prince and the princess of Nanchu marry as soon as possible." General Lisse thought, get married early, and have fewer accidents.
Ye Leyi nodded, "I think the same way, when I get to Danyang City, I will immediately hold a ceremony, she is a member of my Ye Le's family." Go and write a letter and ask Father Khan to prepare for the wedding. β
"Why bother so much, let the newcomer kneel and worship Abu Shenglan Mountain, even if you are married." General Lisse said disapprovingly.
"No, Princess Anping is a Chu person, and they have the most rules in Chu. I don't want her to think that we Xiang Qiang is so barbaric and doesn't respect the customs of her country. β
Ye Leyi remembered that even though Xu Yuan knew that she was going to marry Xiang Qiang and was Yele Kang'er's fiancΓ©e, she had never been close to Ye Le Kang'er along the way, and even deliberately avoided it, not wanting to meet.
When Ye Leyi found out, he thought that Xu Yuan didn't like his younger brother. But when she asked privately, she learned that the Chu people had rules, and the bride and groom were not allowed to meet before they got married.
"What kind of rule is this?" Yereyi was completely incomprehensible. Could it be that the women of Chu State don't even know whether their husbands are ugly or beautiful, so they are going to marry him?
"The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker." Xu Yuan explained weakly.
"The woman of the Chu State is really pitiful." Ye Leyi sighed, "Fortunately, you will be in Xiangqiang in the future, we don't have so many rules, you can live freely." β
"I envy your life, and I envy the second sister's unrestrained personality." Xu Yuan said, "But I was born as a Chu person, and I am destined to not be as chic as the second sister." β
Xu Yuan has the mission of Da Chu and Xiang Qiang to live in harmony. Although Yeleyi sympathizes with her, she also hopes that she can always be so sensible. If Xu Yuan really acted recklessly, Ye Leyi would probably have a headache.
After Xu Yuan entered Xiang Qiang, he changed into the service of Xiang Qiang women, lived in their tent, ate cattle and sheep on the grassland, and drank fragrant mare's milk tea. Ye Leyi was also worried that she was not used to it, so she was allowed to wear Chu people to serve, and she could even let the maids of Chu cook and eat.
But Xu Yuan knew that he would have to live on the grassland for the rest of his life, and he would have to get used to it sooner or later. Doing something special now will only make others feel that Princess Nanchu is squeamish. Therefore, he rejected Yereyi's kindness.
Yeleyi is very satisfied with Xu Yuan, whether she is her brother-in-law or a political ally.
However, on Qin Luo's side, because they were faster than Ye Leyi, they had already entered the hinterland of the grassland and were about to arrive at the Zhanlu steppe.
Although Lu Ziyu has also been to Xiangqiang several times, it is the first time to go to the Zhanlu Prairie. After several days of riding horses, he was already tired. He looked at the rolling hills and endless grasslands, and touched the sweat on his head, "How long do we have to go?" β
"It's coming, it's coming." Liu Changfeng pointed ahead, "Do you see the hill in front, after there, you will arrive." β
"Really?" Lu Ziyu looked at the hill in front of him, as if it was not far away, and suddenly lifted his spirits, raised his horsewhip and wanted to arrive soon.
But Qin Luo stopped him. Qin Luo said with a smile: "Wangshan ran a dead horse, don't listen to his nonsense." β
Liu Changfeng showed a sly smile, "Hahaha, you really believe it, at least there is more than a day to go." β
"The grasslands are so vast." Lu Ziyu suddenly felt hopeless in life, and didn't know what to say.
Qin Luo comforted: "What is this, not long ago I went to the White Sand Department with Tuoba Yan, it is full of deserts, and there is no water to drink in the hot weather, so it is torment." β
"There is also the northernmost part of Chishuibu, where it is said that the temperature is very low all year round, and there is snow everywhere." Liu Changfeng interjected, "Qin Luo has also been there, I don't believe you asked him." β
Lu Ziyu was stunned by what they said, and he suddenly looked at Qin Luo, "I didn't expect you to suffer so much, and the days in Xiang Qiang are very difficult." β
"It's nothing, and I've gained a lot of knowledge." Qin Luo smiled indifferently, "Now Tuoba Yan trusts me very much, everything is fine." β
Liu Changfeng smiled and didn't speak, what does it mean to "everything is fine"? Obviously, the second prince Tuoba Ling was watching from the side, and the Tuoba clan was full of malice towards him, and Tuoba Yan's trust in him didn't know how long it would last.
But Liu Changfeng understood that Qin Luo didn't want his friends to worry, so he didn't say anything.
On the day Qin Luo returned to the Qingyun Department, some people were happy and some were sad. For example, Tuoba Ling, the great master, stared at the soldiers who came to report the news, and he couldn't believe it, so he had to confirm again and again: "Who did you say came back?" β
"Qin Luo, it's Qin Luo. He also brought a Chu man and was about to go to see the Khan. Said the messenger.
Qin Luo did only show up with Lu Ziyu, and as for Liu Changfeng, when he entered the Zhanlu Prairie, he went to find the blacksmith Sun Fu.
"He's back, why is he coming back!" Tuoba Ling's face was full of pain and helplessness. He really didn't want to see Qin Luo at all, why did he want to come back.
On the other hand, it was Khan Tuobayan. When he heard that Qin Luo was returning, he excitedly ran out of the tent to greet him. From a distance, he saw Qin Luo and another person coming together, and he understood that Qin Luo had completed his mission.
Qin Luo's return also told everyone that he did not abandon Xiang Qiang, he came back.
