Chapter 380: The Fierce Tribe (I)

The animals that can run and jump on the grassland are not only wolves, but the people of the grassland like to hunt, and the gathered tribes are more accustomed to hunting. In Liu Yu's view, hunting is to see whose archery is accurate, but on the grassland, hunting has a very strict formation, just like marching and fighting.

Liu Yu let out a cold sweat, these inexplicable Turks have always been unfriendly to the Central Plains, if it was the Dardo tribe, maybe they would be kind to him, after all, he was the benefactor who sent their Khan princess back, but if he ran into a tribe that came out of nowhere, he might die without a place to be buried.

Racial tensions cannot be resolved overnight.

Liu Yu urged Timur to get on his horse and flee, but Timur was obviously not afraid of these people, in her opinion, even if these were not people from the Dardo tribe, they were Turks, and Turks were of the same mind most of the time.

On the horse, it was too late for Liu Yue to escape, and the hunting cavalry team had trapped Liu Yu and Timur on the edge of the lake like a wild beast, and Liu Yue could only jump into the water and swim if he wanted to escape. However, he estimated that even if he was fast enough to swim, he could not match the bows and arrows of these Turks.

There were about seventy or eighty Turks who came up, dressed in leather uniforms, carrying bows and arrows with sabers, and the saddles from the shoulder belt to the saddle on the horse were all the rules of war horses.

Timur shouted, and then negotiated with the Turks, and then a respectable-looking middle-aged man rode out, and saw Timur first laugh and jump off his horse. He hugged Timur. Timur was also friendly to this man. The two sides first embraced. Then he high-fived again, and the middle-aged thin man glanced at Liu Yu with a very sharp gaze, jumped on the horse, and rode the horse but did not leave.

"Let's go, let's follow." Timur smiled and came back to greet Liu Yu.

Liu Yu was surprised and asked, "Didn't you say that they are not from the Dardo tribe, you know?" ”

"They belong to the Kuriqin tribe, and the Kuriqin tribe has been friendly with our Dardo tribe for generations, and both of our tribes speak the Western Gu.

Liu Yu understood a little. Although the Turkic tribes of the steppe speak an official language, in the tribal alliance they are roughly divided into several factions according to language, and several large factions are divided by region. In fact, even the Turks themselves do not know how many tribes there are in the steppe, many tribes are attached to the larger tribes, and the larger tribes are dependent on the larger tribes, only the large tribes are under the direct jurisdiction of the royal court, and as for the smaller tribes, they only need to be conscripted for each battle.

As for the Kuriqin tribe. It may be just a branch of the Middle Tribe, which has friendly relations with the Dardo tribe. At least their people knew Timur. The relationship is intimate. After all, the daughter of Dardo Khan is not known to everyone.

"Young guy, are you from the Central Plains?" The middle-aged man asked Liu Yu in Chinese.

Liu Yu mentioned a little vigilance, and the man said: "Don't be afraid, we didn't have a holiday with the people of the Central Plains, in order to avoid the war, we migrated to the north, you are a friend of Dardo Timur, that is, our friend of Huliqin." ”

Liu Yu was relieved at this time, and in order to show that she and Liu Yue were "friends", Timur led the horse over for Liu Yu and let Liu Yue get on the horse first, and then she jumped on her horse. Liu Yu was in a depressed mood, after all, he didn't plan to be a guest in a tribe he didn't know. However, the Huliqin tribe forced him to go back together, which was tantamount to adding to the military plan this time.

"He is the Khan of the Kuriqin tribe, you can call him Khuliqin Khan, but my father Khan and I used to call him Kumilda, in the steppe language, Kumilda is the cunning fox, he is very cunning, this time he fought with the Shun Dynasty, he ran away with his tribe very early."

Liu Yue had already seen that the eyes of this Huliqin Khan looking at people were very strange, revealing a taste of cunning, and after listening to Timur's explanation, he realized that he was not wrong to judge people by their appearance.

Rounding a hill, hundreds of horsemen rode into a low-lying river valley, and a little further on, they came across a grassland tribe of white tents. It was past dusk, the sky was dark, and the bonfires were shining, and the fences formed small areas one after another, and the livestock and other animals were kept in captivity. During the period of human exchange, there are people who make fires to make food, and more people are making bonfires, usually only among the tribes, will see such a spectacular scene, after all, the nomads who live alone on the grassland are a minority.

The horses returned with their riders and their prey, cheering all the way, the women and children greeted their triumphant husbands and fathers, and the riders threw their prey directly to those who received them, and in a tribe such as the steppe, property was shared, and the population of each tribe, old and young, was supported.

People also quickly discovered two "uninvited guests" who did not belong to their tribe, and the people of Kuliqin were not hostile to Timur dressed as Turkic, but seeing clearly that Liu Yue was a man and wearing Han clothes, many children had a provocative look, as if they were challenging Liu Yue.

Liu Yue consciously became the public enemy of the grassland tribe.

"The guy from the Central Plains, if you want to be respected by us, I'm afraid you will suffer a loss!" After Hu Liqin Khan finished speaking, Liu Yu didn't react, and a group of children pounced, a few grabbed his horse, and a few began to grab his legs. Liu Yu felt the danger at the moment, took out a musket and pointed it at these children, and the children did not let go. One by one, they tried to get him off their horses.

"Bang!"

Liu Yu fired a shot at the sky, the Turkic child was startled, Liu Yu took the opportunity to kick the horse, and the horse rushed out of the road. The children ran and chased after them. Liu Yue wanted to rush out of the door, but he didn't expect that a young rider from the tribe had already blocked the door. Liu Yu just went around the tribe in a few circles, and a group of children were tired of running, and people ended the chase with a big smile.

"Come down, boy. We have no ill will. ”

Liu Yuzheng was panicking and vigilant, and suddenly Qin Khan said with a smile, and the child had consciously dispersed at this time. Liu Yue knew that if he wanted to run, he couldn't run away, and he got off the horse. People came over to help him lead the horse in a friendly way, and Liu Yu still had some heart palpitations at this time.

"It's the Kuriqin people's way of welcoming guests, and if you're beaten by the kids, they'll be proud." Timur came over to explain to Liu Yu.

Liu Yu was still very annoyed, just now he really thought that these people were hiding knives in their laughter, and he was also ready to fight to the death. I'm glad in my heart that the muzzle of the gun didn't shoot at those children just now, otherwise it would really be dead now.

"These ten days are our harvest festival, if you want to drink good wine, eat the fattest meat, and get the favor of the most beautiful girl, you have to beat down from the ring." Suddenly, Qin Khan came over and looked at the short gun in Liu Yu's hand, and he didn't know what Lu Dao was, but he thought it was a machine that made a strange noise. (To be continued......)
