Chapter 270: Doing as the Locals Follow
Recommended reading: "Kuba, it's the eagle that can soar in the sky wherever it goes, I've chosen my man, you either bless me or become my enemy."
After listening to Kuba's words, Naren Toya bit her lip, glared at Kuba with a frosty mask and said, "I will protect my man with my life!" ”
"It's a big problem." Li Hongyu's face changed suddenly when he heard this, and he looked at Naren Toya in surprise, she never imagined that Naren Toya, who looked weak, would have such a strong temperament, which was obviously tantamount to solving the current little misunderstanding.
"If you're a man, come and duel with me, or you're a coward." Seeing Naren Toya protecting Li Hongyu, Kuba's emotions suddenly became more excited, and he pointed at Li Hongyu and shouted loudly.
"Come, take him down." At this time, Bahat, who was standing beside Narentoya, shouted at the Mongol soldiers on the side, if Kuba was allowed to make trouble any longer, the matter would not end well.
Hearing this, the soldiers swarmed up and pinned the desperately struggling Kuba to the ground, tied him with ropes, and stuffed rags in his mouth to prevent him from talking.
"Wait a minute." When the soldiers pulled up the heavily tied Kuba from the ground and wanted to take it away, Li Hongyu walked up to stop them, then glanced at Kuba, who was glaring at him viciously, and asked Bahat suspiciously, "What's going on?" He didn't seem to welcome me. ”
"That's right, he's a madman, he's just gone mad." Bahat smiled when he heard this, and said to Li Hongyu casually, "I'm really sorry for disturbing Li Qianhu's drinking." ”
"Crazy?" Li Hongyu already knew Kuba's intentions, so naturally it was impossible to treat him as a madman, so he groaned for a while and asked Man Gui, who was following him, "What did he just say?" ”
"Back to the Senhu Lord, he has taken a fancy to Miss Naren and wants to duel with the adults to fight for Miss Naren's marriage rights." Man Gui would definitely not hide the truth from Li Hongyu, and replied honestly when he heard this, "There are different clan rules among the Mongolian tribes, and the Uqiyat tribe may have the custom of robbing relatives, and the most beautiful bride on the grassland should marry the bravest warrior." ”
"The right to marry? What does this have to do with the officer? Li Hongyu asked in surprise when he heard this, as if he didn't know what was going on.
"Lord Qianhu, the Mongolian tribes often use knives as a token of love from women to men, and if men accept and give gifts in return, it means that men are also interested in women, and the two will become husband and wife."
Man Gui's face showed an embarrassed look, he bowed his hand to Li Hongyu, and said helplessly, "My lord, I thought you knew the rules here, so I didn't open my mouth to remind you, and I hope that your lord will forgive you." ”
"How so?" Li Hongyu pretended to be surprised, and after looking at Naren Toya and Kuba in amazement, he hurriedly said to Bahat, "Bahat Taiji, I think there must be a misunderstanding here, and the official thinks that this is a custom of your hospitality, and he doesn't know that it has anything to do with Miss Naren's marriage. ”
"This official already has a wife, and he can't marry Miss Naren anymore, and I hope Taiji will understand." As he spoke, Li Hongyu took out the silver-handled short knife hanging on his waist, held it in both hands and handed it to Naren Toya, and said solemnly, "Miss Naren, this official made Miss fall in love by mistake, and I hope that Miss can find a Ruyi Langjun who is suitable for Miss." ”
"Brother, is he going to quit?"
Seeing this, Naren Toya's face suddenly changed, although she couldn't understand Li Hongyu's words, but she knew the meaning of Li Hongyu's actions at this time, and couldn't help but ask Bahat in surprise, she never thought that Li Hongyu would withdraw from his family, did Li Hongyu think he was not beautiful? Or do you dislike her for being a Mongolian woman? Or was it threatened by Baku?
"Sister, Li Qianhu said that he already has a family, and if you marry him, you can only be a concubine, so he hopes that you can choose a husband again."
Hearing this, Bahat smiled bitterly, and said helplessly to Naren Toya that Li Hongyu was not their clan, so he could not use the rules of the clan to restrain Li Hongyu.
However, this does not mean that Li Hongyu can easily get out of this matter, because it can be seen from Naren Toya's reaction just now that Naren Toya is not the kind of woman who tolerates Li Hongyu's "regret of marriage".
"Why don't you want me?" Sure enough, when Naren Toya heard this, her eyebrows immediately rose, and she walked quickly in front of Li Hongyu, biting her lip, staring at her with a little ruddy eyes and asking, "Aren't you Han people three wives and four concubines?" ”
Being repented of by a man in public is a great shame for a woman from the Inner Khalkha tribe, who will not be able to raise her head on the grassland in the future, so Naren Toya now feels very aggrieved and uncomfortable in her heart: if Li Hongyu doesn't like her, why should he accept her silver-handled scimitar and give each other love tokens?
Li Hongyu suddenly felt helpless in his heart when he heard this, from Naren Toya's aggrieved look, he knew that this kind of thing seemed to be more serious than he imagined, and I am afraid it was difficult to explain it by misunderstanding.
"Miss Naren, this official really doesn't know your customs, and I hope that Miss will forgive me if I offend." Man Gui hurriedly translated Naren Toya's words to Li Hongyu in a low voice, Li Hongyu pondered for a while, and solemnly sent the silver-handled scimitar to Naren Toya.
"Okay, I accept." Without waiting for Man Gui to translate, Naren Toya bit her lip and reached out to take the silver-handled scimitar in Li Hongyu's hand, it was obvious that Li Hongyu's actions had expressed his remorse for marriage, Naren Toya couldn't force Li Hongyu to marry her.
Li Hongyu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, although he was a little sorry for Naren Toya, but this matter was finally resolved, and with Naren Toya's appearance and identity, he should find a better man.
But the next moment, a look of surprise and shock flashed on Li Hongyu's face, and he saw Naren Toya pull out the silver-handled scimitar in his hand and touch the sharp blade to his neck, looking like he wanted to kill himself.
"Miss Naren, by all means." Li Hongyu was startled when he saw this, and hurriedly reached out and grabbed Naren Toya's hand to prevent her from doing the stupid thing of committing suicide.
"You let go of me, let go of me, why do you care about my life and death since you don't want me? I don't have the face to live in this world anymore. ”
Seeing this, Naren Toya's emotions suddenly became excited, and she shouted loudly while pushing and grabbing the knife with Li Hongyu, tears involuntarily flowed down her cheeks, no matter what, she would never have thought that she would be rejected in public.
Li Hongyu originally thought that it would be easy to snatch the silver-handled scimitar from Naren Toya's hand, after all, Naren Toya was just a girl, and her strength was not as great as his.
But soon Li Hongyu realized that he was wrong, although Naren Toya was a woman, his strength was not small, he used his strength to fail to take the knife down, after all, the people on the grassland eat beef and mutton as the staple food and often work, so the bodies of both men and women are very strong.
Bahat, Man Gui and others couldn't help but look at each other when they saw this, and they didn't know how to make a move for a while, according to the tradition, the matter of repentance of marriage should be resolved by both parties, but Li Hongyu has different identities after all, which makes them feel quite conflicted in their hearts.
Just when everyone seemed a little overwhelmed about the aftermath, during the dispute, Naren Toya accidentally slashed Li Hongyu's left arm with the tip of the knife, the blade was sharp, and Li Hongyu's arm immediately flowed blood, quickly staining the sleeves around the wound.
"Are you alright?" Naren Toya was taken aback when she saw this, and hurriedly threw away the knife in her hand, and looked at the injury on Li Hongyu's arm with concern, Li Hongyu's arm was cut with a bloody cut three or four centimeters long, although the wound was not deep, but a lot of blood was shed.
"Quick, please come to the doctor." Bahat didn't expect this kind of accident to happen, and hurriedly asked the doctor to call the doctor to bandage Li Hongyu's wounds.
Li Hongyu's injury was not serious, the doctor just came to give him some medicine and bandaged it and left, during which Naren Toya was silently crying on the side, I didn't expect things to develop to this point.
"Li Qianhu, I'm really sorry to frighten you."
After the doctor left, Zhuo Li Ketuhong came to Li Hongyu and said apologetically, "You have a saying in the Ming Dynasty that 'those who don't know are not guilty', since Li Qianhu doesn't know our customs, then this marriage will be stopped, and Li Qianhu should not take it to heart." ”
Although he said it lightly, but Zhuolik Tuhong felt quite regretful about it in his heart, marriage was the most important way to form an alliance in ancient times, in order to ensure the interests of the Inner Khalkha Ministry he wanted Naren Toya to marry Li Hongyu, but unfortunately he didn't expect that things would be bloody, obviously he couldn't force Li Hongyu to go to Naren Toya anymore.
"No, Khalkha Khan, I will fulfill this marriage contract." Li Hongyu groaned for a moment when he heard this, glanced at Naren Toya, who was secretly sobbing there, and then said in a deep voice to Zhuolik Tuhong, "I am going to marry her when she is eighteen years old, I wonder if Miss Naren minds becoming a concubine?" ”
In Li Hongyu's opinion, Naren Toya seems to be sixteen or seventeen years old, and he can't marry an underage girl.
In fact, Naren Toya had just passed her fourteenth birthday, and because she was taller and had a bumpy body, she looked more mature than her peers in the Ming Dynasty.
Zhuo Li Ke Tuhong was slightly stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect Li Hongyu to agree to this family business, and then he was overjoyed, and quietly told Li Hongyu's meaning to Naren Toya, who was crying there.
Hearing this, Naren Toya looked at Li Hongyu in some surprise, and Li Hongyu smiled at her, as if he didn't mind the injury on his arm.
"Hmmm! I do! Then, Naren Toya came back to her senses, a happy smile bloomed on the corner of her mouth, wiped the tears on her cheeks, and nodded vigorously to Li Hongyu.
A helpless smile flashed at the corner of Li Hongyu's mouth, it was obvious that he agreed to this family affair completely out of necessity, Naren Toya was a fierce woman, and if she couldn't think of doing something stupid, it would obviously be detrimental to the cooperation with the Mongols.
Since he caused this trouble, of course Li Hongyu has to bear the corresponding consequences, he can't be looked down upon by the Mongols, and this is also a way to bring the two sides closer.
Besides, Naren Toya is pure and beautiful, and she is an out-and-out Mongolian beauty, if Li Hongyu doesn't like it, it must be a lie.
As for the criticism in the court, Li Hongyu doesn't care at all, he just accepts a concubine, so he is naturally not afraid that someone will make a fuss about it, could it be said that he colluded with the Mongols to betray the country? I am afraid that Hou Jin will do him a great favor at that time, and let the officials of the imperial court know the importance of forming an alliance with the Mongols.
"As the saying goes, follow the customs, since he wants to duel, then the official will accept his challenge, and the official's woman will protect him!"
Under the gaze of everyone, Li Hongyu groaned for a while, stretched out his hand and pointed at Kuba, who was tied up with five flowers, and announced loudly, how could he be a deserter in front of so many people? In that case, once it gets out, how can his dignified Liaodong governor have face?
