Chu Huan's welcoming procession passed along the way, and the people of Qingluo City were already watching on both sides of the street, and the gongs and drums were noisy along the way, blowing and beating, but they really arrived at their destination at noon.

Here I heard the sound of blowing and blowing in front of the house, led by Suohabu Yuanzhen and others, they had already rushed to the outside of the courtyard, Xue Huai'an got off the horse and took the lead in meeting him.

Xiliang customs, when greeting relatives, the greeting team does not enter the courtyard, shoots three arrows, the woman will send the bride out of the door, but it is not like the original sedan chair, but riding on a very beautiful horse that has been dressed, and then the woman will have a group of relatives to send relatives, all the way to the man's house, to participate in the wedding banquet.

Chu Huan was already holding a flower bow in his hand, and the quiver box had three flower arrows.

These three arrows should be shot at the place designated by the woman's family, and the woman's family has a special "Three Arrows", which means that he will guide the place where the arrows are shot.

These three arrows, according to the Great Rite Official Gusa Heiyun, are the tradition of Xiliang marrying, no matter whether they are high or low, they must shoot three arrows when marrying.

The meaning of the three arrows is also different.

One arrow is to show his archery skills and show everyone that he is a qualified warrior who can ride and shoot, the second arrow is to represent bravery and have the ability to defend his wife, and the third arrow is to take a bride and leave an arrow, indicating that from now on, he will live and die with the woman's group.

The choice of the Three Arrows is usually to choose the elderly, so that the elderly can grasp the proportions.

Although most of the Xiliang people are good at riding and archery, but the ability is naturally high, of course, not everyone is a sharpshooter, if the groom in the bride when he can show superb archery, both men and women, it is a very face-saving thing, so the woman hopes that the groom will show the archery skills as smart as possible, but it is also necessary to do what he can, if the proposed standard is too high, the man can not shoot, it is a big shame thing.

Therefore, before marrying, the woman will try her best to understand the man's archery skills, if the archery skills are mediocre, then arrange it casually, so as not to make a fool of herself in public.

It's just that after three arrows, the bride needs to go out immediately, so when to shoot arrows, there is also a special arrangement.

However, according to the customs of Xiliang, noon is the brightest time, and it is also the time of the day when the yang energy is at its highest, so the procession usually arrives at noon, and after arriving, it will shoot arrows immediately, and after three arrows, the bride will leave.

When he went out today, Xue Huai'an repeatedly told Chu Huan about some customs of Xiliang, and Chu Huan also remembered it, so when he came to the house, he immediately took a flower bow specially used to shoot flower arrows in his hand, and waited for the woman Sanjian Lang to come out, because Xue Huai'an said very clearly before setting off that after arriving, Sanjian Lang would appear soon.

Xue Huai'an and several officials of the Qin State who were good at fighting scenes all stepped forward to greet the patriarchs and officials of Gulaqin, and between the greetings between the two sides, Chu Huan also nodded to everyone with a smile, but his eyes swept over one by one, thinking about which one was the Three Arrows.

After greeting for a while, Xue Huai'an felt that something was wrong, Gusa Heiyun said that after the arrival of the welcoming team, the Three Arrows Lang would appear soon, but after greeting for a long time, everyone was polite and polite, and the three arrows still did not appear, and he couldn't help but wonder a little, faintly feeling that the expressions of these people in Gulaqin were a little strange, and he was not familiar with these people, almost all of them were the first time to meet, and he didn't have much to say, pretending to cough twice, which was to remind the other party to let the three arrows come out quickly.

The eyes of several major Gulaqin patriarchs and officials who came out to greet him were shining, Zhuo Yanlun and Suohabu Yuanzhen glanced at each other, and then smiled and said to Xue Huai'an: "Your Excellency, today's weather is really good, it's a good day!" ”

"yes!" Xue Huai'an secretly thought that there was no need to talk such nonsense, but he kept a smile and said: "A few people can have a few more drinks in the evening, it's lively." ”

Chu Huan actually noticed something strange, but his face did not change, and he was calm.

Xue Huai'an told him before that only after three arrows did the bride be carried out of the gate by his family, and the groom could get off the horse and come forward to pick up the bride, and before that, his feet would not get dirty.

The atmosphere outside the house was quite awkward for a while, and the team that came with it was not lively, but it had also calmed down at this time.

The white blind man urged him to come immediately, came to Chu Huan's side, and said in a low voice: "My lord, is there something wrong here?" I see that there is something wrong with the looks of these people. ”

"Rest easy." Chu Huan said softly: "Wait and see what happens." Looking over at Xue Huai'an, he looked at Xue Huai'an, Xue Huai'an bowed slightly, coughed, and saw Zhuo Yanlun beside him dressed beautifully, and he was over half a hundred years old, and he looked like a person with some status, and asked with a smile: "This lord, this official heard that your country welcomes relatives, and there are three arrows, but I don't know what the situation is?" ”

He asked knowingly, it was nothing more than to let Sanjilang come out earlier.

Zhuo Yanlun was a little embarrassed, turned around and glanced at the house, laughed dryly, suddenly heard a sound of footsteps, an old man had hurried over, Gu Laqin and a cadre saw the old man, only then he was relieved, after the old man came out, Zhuo Yanlun had already smiled and said: "This is our three arrows!" ”

The three arrows saluted to Xue Huai'an and Chu Huan and others, and then beckoned, someone came forward from behind, the three arrows pointed to a big tree in the distance, a servant stepped forward, his hands and feet were neat on the tree, and he tied a thing to the tree, but it was a fruit tied with a thin rope, half a fist size, and then moved to another branch, tying three fruits in a row, and the three arrows smiled at this time: "Qiluo Talange is not willing to embarrass the groom official, the groom official, today three arrows are simple, you shoot three arrows, you can shoot three marriage fruits." , Kira Talange will go out! ”

Chu Huan looked over, the big tree was fifty or sixty steps away, it was not far away, it was not close to it, but those few marriage fruits were hanging high on the tree, with branches and leaves beside them, and it was not easy to shoot.

The three arrowmen were already cross-armed to their chests at this time, "The groom, please shoot arrows!" ”

Gu Laqin and the others all looked at Chu Huan, and a few people showed disdain in their eyes, everyone present, and no one had seen Chu Huan's archery, although it was said that Chu Huan had made great contributions to the pacification of the Mahala war this time, but some people had inquired, although Chu Huan participated in the formulation of the strategy, but it is said that he did not show much courage on the battlefield, and he did not think that Chu Huan was really good at archery.

The marriage of every golden talange in Xiliang is based on political interests first, as much as possible to bring great benefits to the tribe, and many people have even felt that Qiluo Talange is very likely to represent the Gulaqin grassland into the palace and become the concubine of the eighth palace, bringing great benefits to the Gulaqin grassland.

Even if you don't enter the palace and become a concubine of the Eight Palaces, you should marry any of the five silver tribes of Gulaqin.

It's just that unexpectedly, Kira Talange finally wants to marry a primordial, which has made many patriarchs of the Gulaqin tribe quite dissatisfied, but this family affair has a husband first, and the eldest prince and Na Popguli are very much in agreement, so everyone does not dare to show opposition on the surface, but the dissatisfaction of the heart is self-evident.

At this time, seeing that the three arrows Lang asked Chu Huan to shoot the fruit on the tree with three arrows, many people were already gloating, and they needed to know the archery technique of piercing the poplar in a hundred steps, which can only be done by top archers, ordinary archers can shoot the target within fifty steps, which is already very good, and the big tree is definitely more than fifty steps away from Chu Huan, and it is still hanging on the tree, the fruit is only half the size of a fist, and the target is very small, this is a big problem, even the excellent archers on the grassland, I am afraid it is difficult to shoot.

Chu Huan stared at the fruit on the tree, estimating the distance, but he was calm, Xuanyuan Shengcai had already ridden closer, he and Chu Huan had compared archery skills in the Iron Blood Garden, and naturally knew that Chu Huan's archery skills were extraordinary, although the target on the tree was a little difficult, he estimated it next to Chu Huan at this time, but his heart was very confident in Chu Huan, and he felt that to shoot three arrows, it must not be too difficult for Chu Huan.

Everyone stared at Chu Huan, Chu Huan focused on the three fruits, no one noticed, at a corner at the end of the street, a head sneaked out from behind the root of the wall, staring at Chu Huan from a distance, this person was wearing a hat on his head, his clothes were ordinary, seeing that Chu Huan had begun to bend his bow and arrows, this person didn't seem to be interested in Chu Huan's archery, but retracted his head, quickly walked through the alley, and turned onto another street.

On the side of the street, a carriage was parked, and this man quickly got to the side of the carriage, leaned over the window, and said respectfully: "Venerable, there can be no mistake, it is the horse!" ”

"He's the one who escaped from the temple?"

"There's no way to go wrong." The man said solemnly: "We saw clearly that day, it was this horse, like flames, this man was wearing a mask when he rushed out of the temple that day, but we could see clearly on his back, it was him, he also had a strange knife, and killed several of us." ”

A hoarse voice came from the carriage: "His identity, have you found out?" ”

"The deputy envoy of the Qin State is called Chu Huan."

"Then can you find out why he went to that temple?" The voice in the carriage was hoarse and low: "What does he know?" Since he was in the temple at the time, Naga must have been with him before he died, did he get anything from Naga Buzun? ”

The hatsman said softly, "These ...... These have not yet been identified! ”

"This person is useful...... The voice carried a cold meaning, "The Venerable Retreat, these things are presided over by the deity, you take your people now, and immediately come up with a method, I want to know the secret of his heart!" ”
