Chapter 183: The King
Men, women, and children, all bowed down in front of a group of a dozen or so people on horses. In front of the head, two very burly samurai wearing black iron armor were guarded by one on the left and one on the right. A middle-aged man riding a big black horse, forty-seven or eight, walked towards a group of yurts that was already approaching with a grim face.
In addition to the middle-aged man's burlap clothes, he was dressed in a wolf's skin. His long black hair was half-bald, and he had several braids tied with fine twine. Under the white skin and high nose, there is a thick beard. On the beard at his jaw, several mouse tail braids were also tied. A buckle cowhide strap with a black iron wolf head was tied around the waist of the middle-aged man. The handle of the black iron long knife was slightly exposed outside the wolf's skin. The white silver chain was wrapped around his neck, and it circled around his neck several times. On the white silver chain, there are also beads with the heads of several little wolves.
Behind him were eight or nine samurai, also dressed in black iron armor. When he came to the yurt house at the foot of the mountain, escorted by a dozen warriors, he saw a number of wooden fences enclosing the yurt house.
A number of samurai, also dressed in black iron armor and armed with black iron spears, patrolled inside and outside the wooden fence and yurt complex. When the middle-aged man and his party appeared outside the yurt group, the samurai who were cruising did the same, bowing down and waiting for the middle-aged man to ride by. Then he straightened up again and continued to wander among the wooden fences and yurts.
In the end, the middle-aged man and his entourage stopped in the center of the yurt group at the foot of the high mountain, in front of a very large yurt. This huge yurt is really big! It is actually the one on the high mountain, and from a distance, you can only see a small huge yurt echoing in the distance. However, within a few tens of meters of the vicinity of the yurt house, there were no other yurts. Instead, there were some long, tall sticks. On each long stick hangs a long wolf tail that moves with the wind. Some colorful linen stripes are also mixed in.
In addition, at the top of the center of the huge yurt, there is a seated silver wolf statue the size of an adult real wolf. The wolf statue is facing the wide curtain of the entrance and exit of the huge yurt. Some intact wolf skins are adorned around the perimeter of the huge yurt.
"Huh? But it was for him to come first. ”
When the middle-aged man saw a big black horse that had already been tied next to the wooden fence where the horse was tethered, he muttered to himself while getting off the horse. As he spoke, he threw the reins of the horse to the young manu who had been waiting by the horse pen for a long time. Then, without looking back, he walked towards the huge yurt.
The dozen or so warriors who came with the middle-aged man also got off their horses one after another, each leading their own horses, and waited on the side.
The heavy and wide curtain was lifted by the middle-aged man. As soon as he walked into the huge yurt, he smelled a strong smell of flesh with a fishy smell. The large round yurt was covered with soft leather. Five long wooden tables are on the left, three on the right, on either side. In the center of the wooden table on the left and right sides, there is also a huge black iron pot. In the stone enclosure under the large iron pot, a small fire was lit. White smoke was rising from the big iron pot of soup that was boiling in the "goo". A number of iron rods were inserted into large iron pots.
And the most conspicuous thing in this huge yurt room is the wolf's head chair made of silver at the head of the five wooden tables on both sides. I saw that on the wide seat that could sit two people at the same time, there were also a lot of brightly colored wolf skins. A leather with a wolf's head hung from the back of a wide chair.
A number of old spears and iron knives hung on the walls of the yurt. And under these spears and iron knives, there is also a black iron lamp with a wolf's head. Under the illumination of these black iron lamps, the large round yurt room was also illuminated as bright as the outside of the house.
"Luerheji, you're here."
A man who had been waiting in the yurt room for a long time, sitting cross-legged at the second table on the right. When he saw the man who had walked into the yurt, he said with a smile.
While talking, this man who had been waiting in the yurt for a long time. From time to time, he used the black iron short knife in his hand to pick at the steaming mutton bones and tender meat on the silver plate on the wooden table.
This man was a few years older than the one who came into the house. I guess I'm fifty-three or four-year-old. The long blonde hair was tied into a number of braids, and there were silver braids between the long hair. He looked a little lazy and casual, and after looking at the middle-aged man who walked into the house with his light blue eyes, he didn't look at the man who walked into the house anymore. Instead, after saying hello to the man, he continued to hold the short knife in his hand, picking out the mutton bones and tender meat on the silver plate on the wooden table.
He was dressed in a good suit. It looks like a fabric that can only be woven in the Kannai. The silver chain hanging around Bo's neck is much finer than the man who came into the house. But there is no bead statue of the little wolf's head, but it is replaced by an east pearl carved with a wolf pattern. On the thumb of the broad palm holding the short knife, there is also an emerald green jade wrench. In addition, on the three fingers of the other palm, there are also three silver rings with very fine workmanship.
A long black iron knife was placed on the wooden table, next to the silver platter containing the tender meat of the mutton bones, and was not carried on the cowhide strap of his black iron buckle. And the black iron long knife he placed on the table, the curvature of the scabbard blade was larger than that of ordinary knives. The wolf skin that was retreated was thrown by this man beside him very casually. There is also a wolfskin soft hat on the big one. The soft hat is made of the skin of a wolf's head. In the hollow wolf skin eye sockets, there are also Dongzhu eyes.
The middle-aged man who was sitting cross-legged at the table, picking a silver plate of mutton bones and tender meat, called Luerheji. He slowly walked to the black iron cauldron in the center of the yurt. Reaching out and holding one, the iron rod inserted in the large pot stirred a few times. I saw that with his stirring, the meat and bones of the soup at the bottom of the pot also turned up.
"You came early, O Gu Ye. Know your old man is here? ”
As he spoke, he pulled out the black-bodied stick that he held in his hand and stuck it in the pot. I saw that the black-faced stick was stuck under the soup water, and it was a two-pointed fork. On the fork head, there is also a piece of boiled and whitened mutton bone.
When he looked at the lamb bones on the fork of the black body that came closer, he looked at it. Gu Yefu, who was still picking the tender meat of the lamb bones on the silver plate, stuffed the half-cooked tender meat into his mouth and said with a smile: "Hehe, this king's deliberation is a major matter for all tribes. Of course, my husband is indispensable. Anyway, he's also the oldest king in our tribes, don't you say? King Antartu? ”
Lu Erheji nodded indispensably, and then easily inserted the black-body fork in his hand back into the big iron pot. Then he picked it up from the big iron pot, and another black-body fork came, looked at the steaming mutton bones on the fork and said, "What King Zataili said is that King Wutai Wuyan is naturally the oldest king of our tribes."
In the middle of the words, Lu Erheji deliberately emphasized the tone of the word "oldest". But it also pointed out the point of what he said. And Gu Yefu, who was sitting cross-legged at the table and picking the tender meat of the mutton bones, only laughed a few more "hehe" after listening to Lu Erheji's "intentional" words. Then he picked up his table very attentively, and the tender meat of the mutton bones on the silver plate was silent.
Luerheji, the king of Antatu, is the son of the titular father of Wolf Ran Dadan in the past, the son of the king of Antatu, Chabatay, and the princess Amudomin. Princess Amudomin is the granddaughter of the old patriarch of the Heheyan clan of the Antartu tribe. After the king of Antatu, Chabatatai, killed the princess of Huqin and became at odds with the Hou Amo tribe of the headquarters. She married Amu Duomin of the Heheyan clan of the headquarters as the princess and gave birth to two sons and a daughter.
Urheji was the second son of Princess Amudomin. After the elder brother and his father fought against the current Dadanyu, he was killed in battle to protect the throne. Surprisingly, the new Shan Yu Sherchi did not have hatred for his former titular father, King Chabatay of Antatu. And the relatives who killed him. On the contrary, after succeeding to the position of Da Shan Yu, he also protected him in his relatives. Among them was Urheji, the man who sat on the throne of the Antartu king with the support of Da Shan Yu.
Although his father and brother died at the hands of Da Shan Yu. But for this enemy who killed his father and brother, for Lu Erheji, he is also his benefactor, if it were not for the protection and support of Dadan Yu Sherchi, this father's throne now should also be his brothers, or uncles born to his father's other concubines. Therefore, although he is very conflicted and complicated in his heart for Da Shan Yu. But he was also subdued by Da Dan Yu's vast mind like the vast heaven and earth, and he became a supporter of Da Dan Yu among the kings. It was also called "brother" by Da Danyu. He had already sworn to Namula and renounced his hatred for Da Danyu.
The king of Zathaili, Guye Servant, was the son of the late old king of Zataili. His half-sister Ya was the eldest of Dadan Yu Sherchi. And his princess is the daughter of Pu Liehu, the old king of Wutai Wuyan. Therefore, he had a close relationship with Dadan Yu Sherchi and Pu Liehu, the king of Utai Wuyan. But most of the time, he coincided with his wife's old father, Pu Liehu, the king of Utai Wuyan. He was already among the kings, but he often stood on the side of Pu Liehu, the king of Utai Wuyan.
Even if he disagrees with Dadan Yu Sherchi, he still has a close relationship with Dadan Yu Sherchi. This also starts from the time when he was in Da Dan Yu Sherchi, and when he competed with his uncle Tie Dan Yu for the position of Shan Yu. When he was the king of Zhatare, he sent an army to conquer Sherchi. However, he chose not to move, and later took the lead in acknowledging the identity of Sher Chi Danyu. As a result, after Sherchi seized the position of Shan Yu, he became a close person with Da Shan Yu Sherchi. But he often has the same opinion as Pu Liehu, the king of Utai Wuyan, but he is also the one who gives him a headache when Dashan Yu Sherchi is discussing the kings.
