Chapter 322: It's a sacrificial ceremony
After about half an hour, the carriage stopped at the junction of the Qiyan tribe and the Heshuo tribe in the north.
"Who?"
The garrison tribal soldiers shouted sharply.
The coachman was about to answer, but Qiyan Zhen'er had already lifted the curtain and said, "It's me." ”
The questioner was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly bent down and saluted.
"Princess!"
"Inside the car are the quasi-princesses and Hunan concubines of the Northwest Palace, as well as their personal maids, there is no one else, let them go."
"Yes!"
The soldier responded with a sonorous voice, and then the nearly three-meter-high, wooden gate was opened.
Only then did Qiyan Zhen'er lower the curtain of the carriage.
The groom outside raised his whip and let out a low shout, and the wheels rolled again.
Inside the carriage, Lin Yingxiang lifted the carriage curtain on her side and looked out.
Although the view from the outside is still wide, it is no longer a white expanse, there are more large tents and huts built by nomads on the back.
"The scenery in the Northland is really different."
She sighed with emotion, because the cold wind blowing in from outside was too cold, she quickly lowered the curtain and put her hand on the soup woman again to warm up.
The carriage was silent, and no one seemed to remember to pick her up.
Lin Yingxiang Xiuya's face stiffened, and she couldn't help but feel embarrassed, looked at Lin Yingxue, and asked with a smile, "What do you think of Yingxue?"
Lin Yingxue was stunned at first, and then immediately cooperated: "The terrain of the north is open, and it is a different feeling to see the scenery."
Lin Yingxiang asked again: "But in this season, when the outside is covered with ice and snow, how to hunt?" There shouldn't be any prey, right? ”
Lin Yingxue knew something about the annual "Hunting and Riding Conference" in the Northland, so she explained: "The 'Hunting and Riding Conference' held by the Qiyan tribe and the Heshuo tribe together is different from our 'hunting'. They set up a large circle with a fence, put the domesticated prey into it, and each sent the strongest warrior from the two tribes to ride and shoot, and compete, and whoever shot down the most prey won the victory, and the winner could win the lottery. ”
After Lin Yingxiang listened, he let out an "ah" and subconsciously said, "Then what's the point?" ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Qiyan Zhen'er's angry gaze shot towards her, and Lin Yingxiang suddenly realized that she had said the wrong thing.
Lin Yingxue helped to relieve the siege and said: "The 'Hunting and Riding Conference' held by the Qiyan tribe and the Heshuo tribe is actually a sacrificial ceremony. The warrior who won the jackpot represented the two tribes and prayed to the heavens for good weather and a safe life for the people of the tribe in the coming year. ”
Lin Yingxiang looked at Lin Yingxue, who was calmly and talking, and involuntarily clenched her palms, feeling a little hot on her face.
In such a comparison, she became more and more lonely.
Thinking of this, Lin Yingxiang suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Sure enough, she didn't like Lin Yingxue, the fifth sister, at all. Therefore, it is better for Lin Yingxue to die early.
Lin Yingxiang's eyes swelled with hatred.
"If you don't know about the affairs of our two tribes, don't speak, lest you expose the things that you have seen shortly."
At this moment, the cold voice of Qiyan Zhen'er sounded in the carriage.
Lin Yingxiang's eyelids jumped, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Qiyan Zhen'er looking at her indifferently, and she suddenly felt annoyed and angry in her heart.
It's just a princess of a barbarian tribe, why do you always step on her head and yell at her?
The more Lin Yingxiang thought about it, the more unhappy she became, and she couldn't take care of it for a while, so she sneered at each other with a cold face: "Then the princess knows a lot about the affairs of our dynasty?" Let's hear it. ”
When Qiyan Zhen'er heard this, she showed a sneering look on her face, and said coldly: "It is Meng Yi who is now enthroned as the emperor." ”
As soon as these words came out, not only Lin Yingxiang's face stiffened, but even Lin Yingxue's face changed.
Lin Yingxue glanced at Qiyan Zhen'er, who had a normal face, and couldn't help but secretly think that this princess of the Qiyan tribe was too dare to say a little.
The atmosphere in the carriage froze for a while, and the two maids, Miaoqin and Dewdrop, did not dare to breathe.
After Lin Yingxiang came back to his senses, he secretly gasped and was about to speak, but he heard the sound of a coachman outside.
"Mother, it's here."
Lin Yingxiang frowned, and saw that Qiyan Zhen'er had already lifted the curtain, so he had no choice but to suppress the words that came to his mouth.
Several people got out of the car in turn, and this place was surrounded by large and small tents, and there were soldiers from the Qiyan tribe and the Heshuo tribe guarding them.
"Is the prince still talking to Daddy?"
Qiyan Zhen'er looked at the soldiers on duty on the side and asked.
"Back to the princess, the king of the northwest is indeed still talking to the chief, and the leader of the Heshuo tribe and the prince of Yuen Long are also here."
Qiyan Zhen'er nodded and said, "I know, I'll take the two of them over here." ”
"Princess, please." The soldier bent slightly.
"Let's go."
Qiyan Zhen'er turned her head, didn't look at Lin Yingxiang, and only said to Lin Yingxue.
Lin Yingxue nodded, "There is Princess Lao." ”
After she finished speaking, she looked at Lin Yingxiang, who didn't look very good, and smiled warmly: "Second sister, you go ahead of me."
The reason why Lin Yingxue said this was also to relieve Lin Yingxiang.
Sure enough, Lin Yingxiang's face softened, and his heart felt a lot more comfortable.
She also showed a smile on her face, and said to Lin Yingxue in a soft voice: "The second sister is the county lord, how can I go in front of the second sister, let's go together." "Just isolate that self-righteous beggar Zhen'er.
A dark glint flashed in Lin Yingxiang's eyes.
Qiyan Zhen'er looked at Lin Yingxiang's smiling appearance, and only the word "hypocrisy" came to mind.
She snorted, then turned her head away and strode ahead.
"Pretend!" Seeing that Qiyan Zhen'er left, Lin Yingxiang couldn't help but mutter, with disdain in his tone.
Lin Yingxue's eyes flashed, but she didn't say anything, patted Lin Yingxiang's hand, and signaled to her that they had to follow quickly.
Lin Yingxiang took a step forward.
didn't take a few steps, still couldn't hold back, lowered his voice and asked in Lin Yingxue's ear: "Yingxue, you won't really treat her as your own because she saved you, right?" ”
Lin Yingxue was stunned, glanced at her sideways, and there was just the right amount of doubt in her eyes, as if she didn't understand the meaning of her words.
Lin Yingxiang was so anxious that she said "oops" and said, "Yingxue, don't stand on her side." As you saw in the carriage just now, her mouth is not ordinary, and I can't say anything about her at all. You think, she is not dead set on the prince, if she uses tricks to enter the palace, then I will suffer. ”
"So, Yingxue, you must help your second sister. Although the second sister does not fight or rob in the palace, she does not want to die one day in vain. ”
Lin Yingxiang wanted to make Lin Yingxue feel sorry for her through these words, even if Lin Yingxue would be killed by Rondell sooner or later, she would use Lin Yingxue first.
If Lin Yingxue is more stupid, it would be better if she could be used as a gun to deal with Qiyan Zhen'er.
It's a pity that Lin Yingxue is not stupid at all.
Thinking of this, Lin Yingxiang felt sorry in her heart, she put down her thoughts and looked at Lin Yingxue with real eyes.
Lin Yingxue didn't answer her words, but just reassured her helplessly, and said, "Second sister, you are serious, although Princess Zhen'er has a heart for the prince, she will not take anyone's life casually." What's more, the prince said that he wouldn't let her enter the door. ”
When Lin Yingxiang heard this, a look of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes, but he sighed with a serious sigh on his face.
"I hope so."
Lin Yingxue smiled faintly and didn't speak again.
At this time, Qiyan Zhen'er, who was walking in front, stopped in front of a big tent and called a soldier to go in and report.
Lin Yingxue and Lin Yingxiang also walked over.
As soon as he walked to the tent, someone came out of it, a man with a large body and an extraordinary face.
He didn't look at them and the group, and went straight to Qiyan Zhen'er, laughing loudly: "Zhen'er, I can see you again." ”
Obviously, it was Pegatron Yuen Long.
In the face of his enthusiasm, Qiyan Zhen'er just raised her eyelids and said lightly: "I remember that the two of us have only met for a short time. ”
Heshuo Yuen Long was not annoyed by her saying this, but said: "Doesn't the Han people have a saying, 'If you don't see each other for a day, you will be separated by three autumns'? Haha, that's what I mean. ”
Qiyan Zhen'er: "......"
She pressed the corner of her forehead with a little headache, distanced herself from Heshuo Yuen Long, and said, "I brought someone over, let's go in first." ”
Only then did Heshuo Yuen Long see that there were still people behind her.
Glancing at Lin Yingxiang and Lin Yingxue with proud eyes, the look on his face immediately changed, and he said in a disdainful tone: "I heard your father say that you went to pick up the two of them on purpose?" ”
When the words fell, without waiting for Qiyan Zhen'er to answer, he snorted and said dissatisfiedly: "Just let them come by themselves?!" Why do you bother to run more? ”
Qiyan Zhen'er explained as usual: "It will be more reassuring for me to accompany them in person." ”
"What does your concern about the safety of both of them?" Pegatron Yuen Long became more and more displeased.
Qiyan Zhen'er's eyebrows were twisted, his eyes were fixed on him, and he said impatiently: "I am following the king of the northwest now."
Just one sentence made Heshuo Yuenlang's face change, his expression seemed to be a little hurt, and he wanted to say something, but in the end he just said: "Forget it, go in and say."
The conversation between the two ended.
Lin Yingxiang looked at the backs of the two, and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.
If these two can be made into a pair, then Qiyan Zhen'er will no longer covet the prince.
It's just that Lin Yingxiang has the figure of Rundil in his mind.
But she has already cooperated with Longier, once Longier brings down Murong Jun, then she doesn't have to bother with Qiyan Zhen'er at all......
However...... If she really wanted her to let go of Murong Jun and help Longdil kill him, she still couldn't bear it......
"Second sister, why are you in a daze?"
Lin Yingxue gently pushed her at this time.
Lin Yingxiang was startled and hurriedly withdrew from his chaotic thoughts.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Yingxue noticed that her expression was different, but at this time, she obviously didn't have time to think about it, and reminded: "Princess Zhen'er has entered, and we should also enter."
