Chapter 153: The Wedding Night
Seeing that Zhong Wuregret was a little impatient, Xiang San had no choice but to say, "Miss Qin Xiang was imprisoned by them." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Miss Qin Xiang is Xiangsan's fiancΓ©e, and his hesitation is because he is afraid that his private affairs will affect Zhong Wuregret's major affairs for the Chu State.
"What's going on?" Zhong Wuregret asked.
"After Miss Qin Xiang sent us away, she stayed in the cave for some time, and when we were all right, she returned to her tribe. However, today, the leader of the barbarian soldiers brought people to Qin Xiang's tribe to forcibly marry her. Xiang San said resentfully.
"They didn't resist?" Zhong Wuregret asked.
"At the beginning, some people resisted, but none of them were the opponents of the barbarian leader, and Miss Qin Xiang didn't want the people of the tribe to die in vain for her business. She told the tribesmen to stop, and she promised the brute leader. The people of the tribe said that the barbarian leader wanted Qin Xiang to marry him tomorrow, and the dowry had been sent to the chief. Xiang San said, his eyes looking at Zhong Wuregret, full of pleading.
However, he also knew the importance of this envoy to the Qin State, he didn't dare to ask Zhong Wuregret to save Qin Xiang for the sake of Qin Xiang's affairs, he just wanted Zhong Wuregret to let him stay, and go to the barbarian leader alone to fight hard, even if he died in the hands of the barbarian leader, he was willing, he wanted to let Miss Qin Xiang know that although he said goodbye to her temporarily, he never had the idea of abandoning her, and for her, he would use his life to protect her.
"Where is Miss Qin Xiang now?" Zhong Wuregret asked.
Xiangsan told him that he was still in Qin Xiang's own tribe, but he was already under the strict guard of the barbarian leader
"Where is the brute leader going to marry?" Zhong Wuregret thought for a moment and asked.
"In Miss Qin Xiang's tribe, it is said that the leader of the barbarian soldiers is still in a hurry and will not return to his tribe for the time being. He said that after Miss Qin Xiang became his mother-in-law, he would be responsible for the safety of the tribe. In the future, no matter who dares to bully the people of this tribe, he will stand up for this tribe and send troops to attack the other party. Therefore, there are still many people in the tribe who approve of this marriage.
The leader of the barbarians had ordered his barbarians to go hunting all day by day, and to light bonfires and celebrate with great food and drink in the evening. "The more Xiang San talks, the more angry he becomes.
Zhong Wuregret said: "It's not impossible for us to get Miss Qin Xiang out quietly, but in this way, our captured guards may not be able to save their lives, and Miss Qin Xiang's tribe may also be brutally retaliated." β
Xiangsan said frustratedly: "I know, so I just want to ask the lord to be gracious and let me go alone to find the leader of the barbarian soldiers to fight hard." β
When Xiang San said this, an inspiration suddenly appeared in Zhong Wuxian's mind, and he thought for a while and said, "Tomorrow, we will all go to Miss Qin Xiang's tribe." β
"All going?" Xiang San was taken aback, and said movingly: "In case of a fight, the casualties are too great, and it will affect the major affairs of the Chu State, and I am afraid that I will not be able to bear it." β
"I didn't say fighting."
"Then the adult is going to ......" Xiangsan was a little puzzled.
"Marriage robbery! I duel with the brute leader to rob the marriage! Zhong Wuregret said categorically.
As soon as night fell, Qin Xiang's tribe began to make noise.
In the open space of the tribe, dozens of blazing bonfires are lit, on which wild boars, pheasants, roe deer and other prey hunted during the day are roasted, and each bonfire is surrounded by people.
Next to the campfire in the far south, there are several original tables made of trees. On the table was a drink made by the tribe itself. The chiefs of the tribes and the leaders of the barbarians sat at the desks.
The smell of barbecued meat began to waft out, and the leader of the barbarians asked someone to bring Qin Xiang to sit on the same table with them. Qin Xiang frowned and didn't eat or drink on the side, which was in stark contrast to the leader of the barbarian soldiers who ate and drank. The leader of the barbarian soldiers accepted the toast with a smile, after the wine and meat carnival tonight, he will take Qin Xiang away early tomorrow morning.
At this time, Qin Xiang was very conflicted. She was looking forward to the arrival of Xiangsan, but she was also afraid of his arrival. If Sozo can come in time, what can he do in front of the brave brute leader? If he uses force, he is definitely not the opponent of the barbarian leader, and he can only spill his blood in vain.
Qin Xiang's tribe does not have strong warriors, therefore, often bullied by other tribes, now, with a strong martial arts brute leader to guard, Qin Xiang's tribe will have a much better life in the future, therefore, many people in the tribe do not pay attention to the pain in Qin Xiang's heart, but think that the barbarian leader can marry Qin Xiang is a blessing for them, therefore, on the night of the wedding, many people released their inner carnival.
Due to the extremely low social productivity at that time, there were few people and many animals, and the people were outnumbered by animals, insects and snakes. People lack the ability to resist all kinds of changes and disasters in nature. Fertility has become an important means for people to pass on their ancestry to resist external aggression, people are the whole of the productive forces, the size of the population, the strength of the physique determines the rise and fall of the clan or tribe, so the custom of fertility worship was widespread at that time.
In the many tribes of the Southern Barbarian Land, every time there is a major sacrifice or activity, including hunting, funeral and other activities, a large number of young men and women, after taking a fancy to the person they like on the spot, will find a secluded place in pairs. There is no such thing as etiquette and chastity.
Qin Xiang is also like them, although she has taken a fancy to two or three young people, she always can't produce the passion of love, but after joining them wildly, she will lose it. However, since she saw Xiang San, it has been different, she is not only infatuated with Xiang San's **, but also obsessed with the happiness of lying in his arms.
After breaking up with Xiang, Qin Xiang understood the taste of missing and the feeling of concern, and even in her dreams, she often thought about Xiangsan. She didn't know what was going on, but when she thought of Xiangsan, she felt a sweet feeling in her heart, sweeter than the wild honey she had eaten in the mountains.
This time, the leader of the barbarians wanted to forcibly marry her, and she had a heart-rending feeling for the first time in her life. When she didn't want to see the people of her tribe die at the hands of the barbarian leader because of her, and took the initiative to agree to marry the barbarian leader, she felt like her heart was torn to pieces.
When she thought of the dawn, she was about to leave her tribe with this barbarian leader, and she thought about death, but, as the daughter of the chief, she was burdened with the fate of the tribe, and she did not even have the right to die. Although Qin Xiang's eyes were swollen from crying, she still followed the leader of the barbarian soldiers to the scene of celebration silently at night.
She had a strong feeling that if Sozo came back, she would definitely be able to see him again.
The leader of the barbarians laughed heartily, carrying a jug of wine, a bonfire, a bonfire one by one, and his rough laughter could be heard everywhere in the field.
Next to the campfire, some of the brutes began to howl, and then the tiger button was sounded (a bronze musical instrument, tied with a rope, hung from a stand, and struck to make it sound). The sound was clear for a long time, and the sound was like thunder.
Many barbarians are ****, dancing in front of the army, and the powerful rhythm and wild and uninhibited style make the carnival atmosphere reach the first.
In the drunken eyes of everyone, I don't know who found that on the edge of the clearing, a row of murderous cavalry suddenly appeared, these cavalry were all wearing black armor, if it wasn't for the light of the fire, it would be difficult to see them clearly, this is the Qin army escort who escorted Princess Shaohua to the Chu State.
Because King Qin felt ashamed of his daughter, he sent many elite horsemen to escort Princess Shaohua to Chu State.
Seeing these murderous cavalry, everyone had a sense of foreboding, and the carnival venue suddenly fell silent.
"Hello, Chief!" At this moment, a voice broke the silence. I saw Zhong Wuregret walking towards the leader of the barbarians with his bare hands.
"You, what are you doing here?" The leader of the barbarian soldiers looked at Zhong Wuregret in surprise.
"I know you want to arrest us, but, now, I'm not here to settle accounts with you, I'm here to discuss two things, one is a state affair and the other is a private matter." Zhong Wuregret said, slowly approaching the leader of the barbarians.
When the leader of the barbarians heard this, he was relieved, he had been on the battlefield for a long time, and he didn't know that Zhong Wuregret wanted to kill, and now was a good opportunity for a surprise attack. His brutes were afraid that they would be shot before they even touched the handles of their swords.
The tall and thin barbarian said a few words in the ear of the barbarian leader, and the barbarian leader immediately stood up and said to Zhong Wuregret: "Today, you are just in time for the good day of my wife, come and drink a few bowls of joyful bar." β
"Don't be busy, don't be busy, get things done first." Zhong Wuregret said unhurriedly.
At this time, Qin Xiang looked at Zhong Wuregret, with a look in her eyes, and then slowly searched through the crowd, wanting to see Xiangsan's figure.
"The first is a state affair!" Zhong Wuregret said: "I advise you not to follow the idea of Yongguo to fight Chu this time, and follow Yongguo to make profits, I might as well tell you that this time Chu will work with Qin and Ba to completely defeat Yongguo, don't lose all your belongings in this life." β
The leader of the barbarians was taken aback: "What you said is all true? β
"Whether it's true or not, Pakistan will know in two days when it issues an order to attack Yongguo." Zhong Wuregret said: "Because there was no distinction between friend and foe before, I don't care about the people you captured me, but now that you know, it's time to return my people to me, right?" β
The brute leader smiled awkwardly: "That's, that's." With that, he immediately ordered the two brutes to bring the captured guards.
After a while, the brute soldiers sent Zhong Wuregret's escort over.
As soon as Zhong Wuregret saw him, he immediately asked, "Are you okay?" Did they torture you? β
Hearing this greeting, the guard was moved to tears, knelt down in front of Zhong Wuregret and said, "No, the work is much better than when I was a slave. My subordinates were incompetent, and I failed to be loyal, so I was captured, and I asked my lord to punish me. β
Zhong Wuregret learned about what happened at that time. He had only been told to stab the horse in the bridle, but the guard, fearing that the horse would not run far, kept following the horse, and when he felt that he was almost walking back, he was caught up by the brutes. He was indeed no match for the Barbarian Leader, and within a few rounds, he was captured alive by the Barbarian Leader.
After being captured, the brute leader only gave him some of their drudgery, but did not dare to torture him.
After Zhong Wuregret learned about these circumstances, he helped the guards up and said: "You have done your duty, very good, for the martyrs who have the courage to die and die with the enemy, I naturally have great reverence, but you are not fighting with the real enemy, you are frightened after being captured, or punished, or threatened with death, even if you have no combat achievements, you have already suffered a lot, what is the crime?" β
In Zhong Wuregret's concept, as long as his soldiers are not greedy for life and afraid of death, fleeing from the battle, or betraying the lord for glory, fighting back, and deliberately betraying, even if he is captured, he will treat him well.
He believes that it is not advisable to defeat the battle, to be attacked on all sides, to go to heaven and to enter the earth, and to still fight to the death; since ancient times, the ruling class has emphasized loyalty and righteousness, and to find an excuse for people to be loyal to the emperor or interest groups, and the country is the emperor's, and the country is not the emperor.
Zhong Wuregret was very disgusted with the fact that those soldiers who fought for the country and were forced to become prisoners in the end, and were still persecuted by their own country. (To be continued.) )
