In the southern part of the Saibei grassland, the Wuhuan royal court. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, it is spring, coinciding with the Wuhuan tribal assembly, according to custom, Wuhuan people should wear gorgeous clothes and make fun together.
Wuhuan, also known as "Karasuma", "Ancient Pill", "Wuyan", etc., is one of the ancient ethnic groups of the Donghu system. The language is the same as Xianbei, which belongs to the branch of Donghu language, without writing, and carved wood for letters.
When Donghu was in his prime, he was an important member of Xianbei at the same time.
In Wuhuan customs, the vaults are all facing east, and the heaven and earth, the sun and the moon, and the mountains and rivers are placed. The sun is almost red, which can give people light and warmth, which is very important for Wuhuan who lives in the cold regions of the north.
Wuhuan was originally a nomadic tribe, and the common people liked to ride and shoot, and hunt birds and beasts. Grazing with aquatic grasses, living in an impermanent place. Take the dome as the house, and open to the sun in the east. Eat meat and drink cheese, and use wool as clothing.
Animal husbandry is quite developed, horses, cattle, sheep are very numerous, therefore, not only the source of food and clothing, at the same time, the marriage is also to horses, cattle, sheep as the "money", the death of the deceased will take the deceased before the death of the horse burned to the burial, if the vendetta kills, can also out of the horse, cattle, sheep to redeem the death. And use cattle and sheep to sacrifice to ghosts and gods, heaven and earth, sun, moon and stars, mountains and rivers, and those who have a healthy name for the ancestors, and burn them all.
During the Qin and Han dynasties, Wuhuan was active in the area of Rao Leshui. It is adjacent to Rulou, Fuyu, Goguryeo, etc. in the east, the Xiongnu in the west, and the Great Wall of China in the south.
Wuhuan is one of the tribes of the Donghu tribe, living in the Wuliao Mountain for generations, the upper reaches of the Liaoshui River, the Wuhuan people gradually grew up, grew and migrated southward on this land, and had close exchanges with the feudal regime built in the Central Plains in all aspects of politics, economy, military and culture.
As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Wuhuan had trade and diplomatic contacts with Yan and Zhao south of the Great Wall.
Until the Great Qin unified the Central Plains, strengthened the Great Wall, and Weijia Hainei and Siyi Binfu, Wuhuan had no choice but to move and gradually settle in this land full of water and grass.
Now, several years have passed.
Wuhuan is different from the Central Plains, the building materials are scarce, and there are no skilled craftsmen, according to local conditions, the houses built are roughly the same as the Xiongnu, called the dome.
However, unlike the Xiongnu, the royal palace in the Wuhuan royal court was built at the foot of the Red Mountain, which was most admired by the Wuhuan people.
Chishan, located in the north of the Great Wall, deep in the hinterland of the grassland, has been the sacred mountain of the Wuhuan tribe since ancient times.
The construction of the royal palace here is also the trend of the times.
At the foot of the majestic and majestic Red Mountain, the ancestors of Wuhuan dug holes ~ holes, laid ladders, and exerted their ingenuity to build a solid cave palace for the Wuhuan royal family to live in for generations.
In a relatively backward nomadic civilization, this is really valuable.
Behind the palace is a holy mountain with lush vegetation all year round, and in front of it is a trickling ~ trickling river, with mountains and rivers at its back, and hidden dragons gathering qi.
The royal court, which stands all year round, seems to be a symbol of Wuhuan's strength, and has a very special status in the hearts of the Wuhuan people.
The holy mountain is in the center, surrounded by the dome and felt tent of various Wuhuan small towns, as well as the sacrificial altar and other sacrificial facilities such as the altar and the tribal altar.
It has been recorded in the history books that when Wuhuan was strong, there were more than 100,000 people who sat north of the Great Wall and commanded the strings, and hundreds of thousands of tribal people, which can be seen.
It's just early spring, when everything recovers and aquatic plants grow.
The annual tribal meeting, as well as the sister of King Wuhuan, the princess of Chuhan and the princess of the pearl in the palm of the hand, will be a ~ human gift, and the whole country will celebrate. It has pushed the atmosphere of the whole spring to a high ~ tide.
Just like the traditional Chinese Chinese New Year's Eve, Wuhuan is happy and the whole tribe is immersed in a joyful and festive atmosphere.
Wuhuan Palace, grotto hall.
"Hahahaha, today is really joyful, the widow chased the dead all the way to the north, almost reached the border wall of the Great Qin Great Wall, enjoyable! Enjoyable! ”
Wuhuan King Changgu was excited at this time, holding a bow and arrows in his hand, and strode in from the door of the main hall.
Walking to the center of the hall, he called the attendants on the left and right to untie the bow and arrows, and said loudly while turning back to a girl about seventeen or eighteen years old sitting next to the main hall.
The girl has a delicate face, no powder, long hair shawl, a little cinnabar mole between her eyebrows, and her demeanor is pleasant, which looks quite lovely.
Hao's toothed moth eyebrows, quite the color of the country and the city, with buds to be released, it is the time of spring ~ heart germination.
In that charming and charming, there is a group of books and delicate atmosphere, both the national color and natural fragrance, but Bin Bin is elegant.
One is affectionate, if you think about it, you can't, like the Rong Ye of Xi Shi, and the glory of the red Luo.
Dark clouds and sideburns, apricot face and peach cheeks, light spring mountain, delicate willow waist, really like a begonia drunk sun, pear blossoms with rain.
It turned out that she was the first beauty of Wuhuan, the pearl of King Wuhuan, Princess Chuhan.
In China, there are etiquette regulations, and women are called adults when they are fifteen years old.
The gift of the Wuhuan royal family is that the girl is eighteen years old before she is married, and she is a ~ human ceremony.
When King Wuhuan came in, Princess Chuhan was carefully making a female red and sewing ~ a human dress for herself.
Although Wuhuan is located in a barbarian area, the etiquette is still grand, and there must be no slackness.
Especially the princess's ~ human gift, Wuhuan is a matriarchal clan society, so she represents not only herself, but also the entire Wuhuan royal family, therefore, since the beginning of the year, Chu Han personally took over the sewing of his own adult ~ human dress.
Seeing King Wuhuan come in, Chu Han smiled, got up and came to King Wuhuan's side, and saluted:
"Chu Han to meet Brother Wang."
"No courtesy, no courtesy!" Changgu hurriedly picked up the beauty in front of him, just like treating the most precious treasure in the world, and did not dare to have the slightest blasphemy.
King Wuhuan's doting on his own sister can be seen from this.
"Brother Wang came out early today, I don't know what's going on?"
Chu Han got up, tilted his head and spit out the lilac small ~ tongue, and asked playfully.
"Hahahaha!"
Changgu gently scraped his sister's Yao nose, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but up~, and he said quite smugly:
"It's okay, just led the royal court guards out hunting, and by the way, I practiced my archery skills!"
"Winter has passed, everything has recovered, my big Wuhuan man can't be slack, he is full of pride sealed by the cold of winter, and this time he went out to let them get familiar with their enemies, so that when they face the enemy in the future, they will not have the slightest cowardice."
"Enemy ???" Hearing her brother say this, Princess Chuhan faintly felt a hint of foreboding in her heart.
"Brother, today, but you are taking those innocent captives as live targets? Let the so-called Wuhuan warriors train their marksmanship. ”
"Or else?"
Changgu didn't notice the change in the expression on his sister's face at all, but said more and more vigorously.
"The Qin people and our tribe have a common enmity with the sky, and it is understandable to use their captives as targets to train the art of riding and archery!"
"Brother............... Alas!!! ”
Chu Han Qiao~ The face brush suddenly became very pale.
"Sister! Younger sister! What happened to you? Isn't it uncomfortable? Or is it a physical illness? Do you want to summon the Great Witch and the Healer? ”
Seeing that Chu Han's face was wrong, Chang Gu couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly grabbed his sister's arm~ and asked eagerly.
"Brother...... Chu Han is not feeling well today, so he will go down to rest first......"
Chu Han's face was displeased, and he was helpless against his brother's murderous tyranny, so he had to struggle to break free of the other party's hands, take a few steps back and salute gently, and then returned the money.
"Alas......"
Looking at Chu Han's delicate and delicate back, Chang Gu's face was gloomy, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he shouted loudly:
"Where's the waiter?"
"What does the king command?"
As soon as the words fell, two close guards strode in from outside the main hall.
King Wuhuan looked hideous, gritted his teeth and said:
"Hold the captives of the Qin army who brought them back, and wait until the day of the princess and the princess, and all of them will be killed to make an example!"
"No! King. ”
King Wuhuan's order, the attendants did not dare to disobey, hurriedly saluted, and retreated in small steps.
In the main hall, King Wuhuan, who succeeded in his treacherous scheme, sneered.
