Chapter 34: The Burning of the Lamb (2)
When the Lamb Burning Festival was approaching, the barbarians in all parts of the grassland returned to the barbarian acropolis, whether it was the shepherds who went to open up new pastures or the barbarian warriors who plundered on the border of Zhongzhou, they all beat their horses and drove back, which reminded Bai Yan of the New Year Festival in Zhongzhou.
During the daytime on the day of the Lamb Roast Festival, the women of every household have already started to be busy, preparing all kinds of ingredients for the evening. And the men are rare to get together, because every day of the Lamb Festival, the younger generation of warriors will compete, the big leaders and the patriarchs of various tribes will personally come to watch the battle, the barbarians are a group that advocates force, the leaders and patriarchs are all warriors who can block a hundred, and the samurai compete with each other has always been the most important entertainment among the barbarians.
"Hey, brute, you're going to have a contest later, aren't you?" Bai Yan and Meteor Frost followed Hu Xie to the ring that had been built, and it was already full of people.
Hu Xie frowned, "Who is the barbarian, I am the son of the barbarian", Hu Xie was not angry and went to the first seat of the main throne, Bai Yan and Meteor Frost also wanted to come to see the excitement, so they sat behind Hu Xie.
After a while, the big leader and the leaders of the various tribes came over, and Bai Yan saw the big leader Hu Tatar for the first time, so he couldn't help but take a few more looks. When Hu Tar walked to the main seat, he first looked in the direction of Hu Xie, and saw that Hu Xie looked confident, and nodded slightly. Then Hu Tatar looked at Hu Xie's two companions, who made Hu Xie so respected, but when he saw the Chinese child, his eyes couldn't be taken away for a while, and he always felt that this face and this temperament had been seen somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while, so he had to give up first.
Hu Tatar first drank a glass of wine with everyone present, which was the unique wine of the barbarians who choked the white flames - soul-burning wine. The highest honor of a barbarian warrior is to carry the sharpest sword, ride the fastest horse, drink the strongest wine, and kill the fiercest enemy.
After a glass of wine, a samurai came to the stage to announce the start of the competition, there were not too many rules, anyone could go on stage, and if they hit their opponents, they would be respected by everyone.
The first to come to the stage was a relatively burly young man, about seventeen or eighteen years old, his opponent was not weak at all, both of them did not use weapons, and used the most primitive way of barbarians - gladiatorial fighting to decide the winner, and from time to time ushered in bursts of cheers from the audience.
"Hey brute, when are you going to go up?" Bai Yan tore a piece of mutton or beef, and asked while eating, taking a sip of soul-burning wine from time to time, sticking out his tongue spicily.
"Take a look, and you'll be on it in a minute." Hu Xie didn't bother to care what Bai Yan called him, he just replied lightly, but his eyes glanced at certain positions from time to time.
"Okay, then I'll watch it with Meteor Frost then, don't lose, right, Meteor Frost." Bai Yan turned his head to look at Meteor Frost and found that he was seriously watching the gladiatorial battle between the two on the stage, and only turned his face and nodded when he heard Bai Yan call him.
The next few matches were also full of brilliant young samurai duels, and there was a lot of cheering from the audience.
Another competition was over, and neither of them could beat anyone, but it was very exciting. Hu Xie turned his head to look at Hu Tar, who nodded and signaled that he could take the stage. But when Hu Xie was about to get up, someone had already jumped into the ring first.
"It is said that our Royal Highness is the bravest warrior of the younger generation, then I will challenge our prince now, I don't know if His Royal Highness will dare to take it!" The young man in the ring had eyes like lightning and was arrogant.
