Chapter 22: Huddle together for warmth

In the Northwest Wilderness in March, the day is already quite warm, but after nightfall, it is still cold and windy, and the thick ice on the surface of Xihai Lake has not yet melted, shining strangely under the bright moonlight, like a pearl on the wasteland. On the shore of the lake, two horsemen galloped by, and from time to time a few terrible wolf howls were heard in the distance, breaking the quiet night sky.

Under the moonlight, the variegated spots on the body of a horse in front of him were faintly visible, it was the dragon horse snow leopard, and Liu Ziqiu, who was riding on horseback, dragged the Mo knife upside down, with a solemn face. The horse behind him had reached the limit of his speed, but he was still half a horse behind the snow leopard. The knight on the horse was carrying a lance, and it was Wen Hao, who was bent on competing with Liu Ziqiu.

Whether Zhang Shou was detained by Yuwenjing, or the generals were deceited into Weiding City, it was all a matter between the upper echelons, and it was not for them to ask these little people, Liu Yuben did not agree with Liu Ziqiu to go to Weiding City. However, the news brought back by Liu Ziqiu and the information provided by Wen Hao quickly spread among the army, making the people of the three armed forces panic, and everyone was eager to know what had happened.

The answer is in Weiding City, but now Weiding City is no less than Longtan Tiger's Den, although Gui Haiqiu and a group of old brothers are clamoring to go with Liu Ziqiu, but Liu Ziqiu knows that they are mediocre, and it is not as easy as breaking alone. Only Wen Hao relied on his martial arts and insisted on going together.

The military camp was on the eastern shore of Xihai Lake, and although there was still ice on Xihai Lake, it was already March, and the ice began to thin in some places, and it was very dangerous to ride horses on it at night, so you could only walk around the lake.

A gust of cold wind blew, Liu Ziqiu gradually calmed down, suddenly pulled the reins, and turned his horse to the southwest. Wen Hao, who was following closely behind, was stunned for a moment, and immediately chased after him, shouting: "Liu Lushuai, you are wrong!" ”

Liu Ziqiu replied without looking back: "That's right, follow me to a place first!" ”

In the middle of the night, Wen Hao didn't understand where Liu Ziqiu was going, but he didn't ask much, just rode his horse with him.

……

It's late at night, but the camp in Tumulu is still bustling. The entire camp has been nearly twenty times larger than the original, and new tents can be seen everywhere. In a large open space near the camp, hundreds of young men and women from thirteen different tribes are singing and dancing around a campfire. Every gathering between tribes is a good opportunity for them to find a partner and talk about love. Although this time, their tribe is facing a huge crisis, but they are still unwilling to give up such a rare opportunity.

While the young men and women sang to their heart's content, the leaders of the thirteen tribes gathered in the tent of Tumlu. It is said to be a big tent, but in fact it is no different from the tent of ordinary herdsmen, and the thirteen tribal leaders and their guards are lined up on both sides, crowding a small tent to the brim. Sitting on the top is none other than the princess Tuoba Qianyu.

Tuoba Qianyu gently stroked the two golden leopard cubs in her arms, glanced at the leaders casually, and said lightly: "This is the case, hug it or not, you can make up your own mind." ”

There are far more than these thirteen small tribes that have been blackmailed by Yuwen Jing, but time is in a hurry, and Tumulu can only contact these thirteen families. Today was the day when Yuwenjing agreed to "receive", and early in the morning, the leaders of the tribes were waiting for the people sent by Yuwenjing in the camp, but they waited for the messenger of Tumulu. Tumulu's letter is very simple, only saying that he has received help from nobles, and there is no need to be afraid of Yu Wenjing anymore, if you don't want to be oppressed by Yu Wenjing, you will all move to his camp to discuss the plan! Yu Wenjing had indeed asked for too much, which had already made it unbearable for these tribes, and since Tumulu had a way to get out of the predicament, everyone naturally wanted to try their luck as well.

When they arrived, they learned that the brigade commander, guide, and more than thirty soldiers sent by Yuwen Jing had become ghosts under the arrows, and the beautiful girl sitting in the center of the big tent turned out to be one of the nobles mentioned by Tumulu.

The solution proposed by Tuoba Qianyu was taught to her by Liu Ziqiu when she was leaving, which was called huddle for warmth, and in line with the principle of voluntariness, these small tribes were united to form a new tribe. Among the thirteen tribes, the most is no more than two hundred, and the few are only a few dozen, and in this world of the jungle, there is only anyone to slaughter. However, once these thirteen tribes are united, they will immediately exceed the size of a medium tribe, and they will no longer be soft persimmons to be manipulated.

The other leaders were still talking about each other, and Tumulu had already stood up first, and said loudly: "The Sui people in Fu Qi City have bullied me too much! My tribe swears to fight them to the end, but the girl's life is obeyed! ”

The city is the city of Weiding, and the locals still like to use its old name. However, Tumulu did not regard all Sui people as enemies, at least Liu Ziqiu, a Sui man, was sent by God to help them. Since killing Jiang Da and the more than 30 Sui soldiers, Tumulu has no way to retreat, and only a few more people can go into the water to keep the people safe, so he firmly stood up to support Tuoba Qianyu.

Different tribes have different totems, and eight of the thirteen tribes actually use the leopard as a totem, and they all heard Tumulu say that Liu Ziqiu and Tuoba Qianyu are the incarnation of the leopard god, although there are still some doubts, but they are not very resistant to forming a large tribe.

The other five tribes used the wolf as a totem, and they didn't have much reverence for Tuoba Qianyu, and they were even wary, worried that she was uniting with Tumulu and wanted to annex their own tribe. But Tuoba Qianyu's proposal was indeed the most effective way to fight against Yu Wenjing, and it made them a little moved.

All the people had gains and losses, but they kept their faces straight and did not speak.

After a short silence, a man as strong as an ox suddenly stood up and said in a thunderous voice: "It's not impossible for the tribes to merge, but after the merger, who will be the leader of this new tribe?" Is it you Tumuru or that female doll? ”

This man's name is Jiaoriyan, and he is also the leader of an unnamed tribe. His tribe uses wolves as totems, and there are more than 160 herdsmen in the tribe, almost twice the number of the Tumulu tribe. Jiaoli Yan's strength is infinite, brave and aggressive, even Murong Fuyun has heard of his name, summoned him into the army, and has just returned from Che I Zhenshan.

It is precisely because he has seen the military might of the Great Sui that he is jealous, otherwise he will refuse to be blackmailed by Yu Wenjing with Jiao Liyan's fiery temper. He did not object to the method proposed by Tuoba Qianyu, but asked him to serve the elderly Tumulu and even the young female doll as the leader, but he never refused.

In fact, Jiaoliyan's question was also the most concerned by the leaders of the other tribes, and everyone's eyes stayed on Tumulu and Tuoba Qianyu. As he grew older, Tumlu had long since lost his ambition, and it was impossible for him to compete for the position of new tribe leader with his strength. But subconsciously, he still looked at Tuoba Qianyu, as if he wanted to ask Tuoba Qianyu's opinion.

Although Tuoba Qianyu is not very old, she has experienced all kinds of intrigues within the party, and she did not panic at all in the face of the situation in front of her, but just smiled faintly and asked rhetorically: "So, according to your meaning, who is more suitable to be this leader?" ”

Jiao Liyan waved his fist and sneered: "Since ancient times, Li has become the king!" ”

Tuoba Qianyu laughed and said, "The bison has the greatest strength, but hasn't it become the food in the mouths of tigers, leopards, wolves and insects?" ”

"You!" Jiao Liyan was angry for a while, gritted his teeth, and said for a while, "Anyway, if you want to merge into one tribe, you can, but you can only let the person with the highest martial arts be the leader of the new tribe!" ”

Kaoriyan was full of confidence in his martial arts, and he said this because he wanted to be the leader of a new tribe. Moreover, the strength of his tribe is also one of the best among these people, and he feels that he has the strength to be the leader of a new tribe.

As soon as these words came out, the other four tribal leaders who used wolves as totems also echoed them, but Tumulu and the others had a worried face. In terms of the total number of herdsmen, the tribes with leopards as their totems are the majority, but Jiaoli Yanwei is famous, and I am afraid that none of the eight tribes is his opponent. If Jiaoliyan becomes the leader of a new tribe, he will definitely use the wolf as the totem of the new tribe, which is unacceptable to them.

Tuoba Qianyu raised her eyebrows lightly, waved her hand slightly, and said, "Okay, just do it, I have no opinion!" ”

Tumulu jumped up and said in a loud voice: "Never! ”

"Why not?"

"This, this, who will win ......"

Without waiting for Tumulu to finish speaking, Tuoba Qianyu had already laughed, and his eyes were full of fascination: "Naturally, it's my elder brother." ”

"Really? Whoever wins can be your brother! Jiao Liyan didn't hear the meaning of Tuoba Qianyu's words, and his heart was ecstatic. In fact, he has long coveted the beauty of Tuoba Qianyu, and he can not only be the leader of a new tribe, but also be able to hold a beauty, and such a good thing cannot be found with a lantern.

"Huh, it's up to you? Dream! Tuoba Qianyu pursed her lips disdainfully and said, "Three days later, wait for my brother to come over......"

Jiao Liyan knew that he would be wrong, and when he saw the mocking glances of the other leaders, his face was a little unbearable, and he said angrily: "No! The revenge of the Sui people is imminent, and whoever is the leader of the new tribe must be determined before dawn! There is one from each tribe, and now you have to compete! ”

At the beginning, Tumulu suggested that it was enough to gather only those tribes with leopards as totems, but Tuoba Qianyu kept Liu Ziqiu's explanation in mind and wanted to unite those tribes blackmailed by Yuwenjing as much as possible. Tuoba Qianyu believes in Liu Ziqiu's skills, but to find Liu Ziqiu, it will take a day and a night at the earliest. Now that such a situation has occurred, she can't help but secretly regret it.

Suddenly, the pair of golden leopard cubs in Tuoba Qianyu's arms seemed to sense something, and their eyes that had always been closed were actually opened, and there was a soft cry of "woo" in their throats.
