Gaduo nodded to Sang Duo with palpitations, and exclaimed: "The leader is eloquent and strategic, and he uses soldiers like a god!" ”

Sang Duo smiled proudly, and suddenly there was no smile at all, and asked, "Over there is no problem over there in Old Crow Mountain, right?" ”

Gado hurriedly replied: "Back to the leader's words, everything is ready, just wait for them to send it to the door!" ”

Sandor nodded, took a deep breath, looked ahead with a stern expression, and said faintly: "Tonight, everything will be settled!" ”

With that, he strode away. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

When night fell, in the golden-roofed tent, the 10,000 and 1,000 households of the Qiang people had already arrived. Lady Rouge sits in the center facing north and south, while Sang Duo naturally sits on the head to the right of Mrs. Rouge.

As soon as the banquet began, the atmosphere was a little weird, everyone sat in their seats, without saying a word, and some even lowered their heads, never facing Mrs. Rouge.

"It's a little strange today, are you worried that the wine and meat are not delicious, or are you all sick? Why are so many people present, but there is no movement at all? Mrs. Rouge asked calmly.

The crowd bowed their heads and looked at each other, but no one spoke.

Sang Duo laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, don't care about them first, I have something to ask." ”

"Oh? What's the matter? Mrs. Rouge flicked her sleeves and asked unhurriedly.

"We Qiang people, wine and meat are used to entertain friends, and sabers are used to call enemies. Since my sister-in-law is hosting a banquet to entertain us today, I take the liberty of asking, why do you drink this wine? ”

Madame Rouge frowned slightly, and Sandor's opening to the point was obviously something she hadn't expected.

"As the wife of the chief, I don't need any reason to invite all of our families to drink a bowl of wine, right?" Mrs. Rouge replied.

"Sister-in-law, if my eldest brother is still here, it is logical for you, the chief's wife, to be called, and now ......"

"Isn't your eldest brother already on his way back?" Mrs. Rouge pretended not to know and asked deliberately.

"As we all know, my eldest brother was captured and cut out his tongue, even if he comes back, let a dumb person be the leader of our Qiang tribe, I'm afraid I will be ridiculed, right?"

"What do you mean?"

"Sister-in-law, you don't have to be picky, right? You and I know very well, and if you say it too bluntly, I'm afraid it's not appropriate. ”

Mrs. Rouge smiled and said, "If you do something absolutely perfectly, then you will be fine!" ”

Sang Duo frowned slightly, Mrs. Rouge's words were obviously mocking him.

"Come, everyone! Let's toast the chief's wife together! Sandor raised his glass and said to the thousands of households who had not said a word.

Everyone hesitated, but under Sandor's intimidation, they raised their glasses.

"Since my sister-in-law has the intention to arrange today's banquet, while everyone is here, let's also give some things down." Sandor put down the glass in his hand and said to everyone.

"Oh? I would like to know what it is. Madame Rouge said as she looked at Sandor.

At this time, a Wanhu sitting next to Sang Duo said, "Let me tell you!" ”

"Saruwanhu, you talk about it, I'll listen." Mrs. Rouge said.

Saru said: "Mrs. Rouge, with all due respect, since Mudu became the leader of the Qiang tribe, our Qiang tribe has not grown at all in these years. We, the 10,000 households, have never increased the number of cattle and sheep in our hands, nor have we increased the number of slaves, and the number of soldiers has even declined. Our once powerful Qiang people have been reduced to the point where we have to look at the faces of the Huns. ”

"Saruwanhu, you are the chief's uncle, you have something to say, you don't have to beat around the bush." Mrs. Rouge said.

Saru looked at Mrs. Rouge and then at Sang Duo, paused, and said calmly: "Mudu is no longer worthy to be the leader of our Qiang people!" ”

Mrs. Rouge was not surprised at all, scanned everyone, and said: "If you have any ideas, put them forward, don't hide them, although I am a woman, I also know that the interests of the Qiang people are the most important!" ”

At this time, a person sitting opposite Salu got up and said: "In the spring of this year, the leader of Mudu led more than 10,000 people to the Central Plains with the Huns, and there has been no life left so far!" Dare to ask Madame, how to explain this matter to the subordinates? ”

Mrs. Rouge asked rhetorically, "Confess?" What do you want to account? As a thousand-household, it is your duty to pacify the people, and you actually asked your leader to explain! What's the use of your thousand households! ”

The Qianhu official was very embarrassed by Mrs. Rouge's words, and sat back in his seat with a dissatisfied face.

"I can see it! You want to take advantage of the leader's absence to plot a rebellion! Mrs. Rouge said unhurriedly.

"Madam, that's a mistake!" Salu said with an old face and expressionless: "The position of leader has always been occupied by those who are capable, and what we Qiang people want is a leader who can lead the people to live a good life!" We want to survive! Not perdition! ”

"Uncle Saru, you are still alive and well, you can eat meat and drink wine, can't you live a good life?" Mrs. Rouge asked rhetorically.

"More than 10,000 Qiang men, just gone! Those are all the children of our Qiang people! Mudu is to blame! Saru scolded.

Mrs. Rouge still sat calmly in her seat and said, "There will inevitably be casualties in the war......

"Madame, have you ever fought?" Another person stepped forward and directly interrupted Mrs. Rouge's words.

The muscles on Mrs. Rouge's face twitched slightly, but she didn't respond.

"There are dead and wounded in war, indeed! But the whole army is annihilated, that is the incompetence of the commander-in-chief! The man said unceremoniously: "Our Qiang people are born to be in the company of fierce beasts, and can ride and shoot well. ”

"So what?" Mrs. Rouge asked impatiently.

"So we should choose a new leader! A leader who can make our Qiang people strong! ”

"In your opinion, who is more appropriate?" Mrs. Rouge asked.

The man looked at Saru and said, "Salu Wanhu is the elder of Mudu, and he is also our elder, and the candidate for the new leader is more suitable for Saru Wanhu!" ”

Saru straightened up slightly, but he didn't shirk at all, and said: "When the first leader was here, he once said that among the sons, the most courageous and resourceful is Sang Duo! So I think it's best to put Sandora as the new leader! ”

As soon as Saru finished speaking, Sang Duo immediately said: "Uncle Saru has awarded the little nephew, how can the little nephew be the leader instead of my eldest brother?" ”

Mrs. Rouge nodded and said, "Although I am the lady of Mudu, in the final analysis, I am also from our Qiang tribe. Today, since everyone is here, and there is a lot of controversy about the position of the leader of Mudu, it is better to do this, let's elect it, if most people think that Sang Duo is more suitable to be the leader of our Qiang tribe, then I have no opinion, how about it? ”

Sang Duo pretended to push back: "Sister-in-law, this seems to be a little inappropriate, right?" ”

At this time, Saru said, "I don't think there's anything wrong with it! That's it! According to the rules of our Qiang people, one person takes a black bean and a red bean, and those who support Sang Duo throw the black beans into this pocket of mine, and those who support Mudu throw red beans! ”

Mrs. Rouge smiled and nodded, and instructed the maid beside her, "Go and prepare red beans and black beans!" ”

"Yes!"

Sandor looked at Mrs. Rouge with a smile on his face, in his opinion, this woman no longer posed any threat to him, because the so-called election was actually just a trick for everyone to deceive themselves, and everyone knew this.

After a while, Mrs. Rouge's maid walked in with red beans and black beans, and then handed each one a red bean and a black bean in turn.

"That's it! Got it all, right? Let's get started! Saru took out a bag from his waist and put it on the table, then he took the lead in pinching the black bean, held it high, and put the black bean in front of everyone.

Seeing this, the others also got up one after another and walked towards Saru. Some people deliberately showed others that they had black beans in their hands before throwing them in, while others also held them tightly in their palms and stuffed them directly into their pockets, without showing off.

Sang Duo on the side looked at the situation in front of him, and his heart was naturally happy, what he didn't notice was that Mrs. Rouge's eyes were staring at those who threw beans one by one.
