Chapter 484: The Festival of Lights

Although the grassland is vast, it is difficult to deploy the fortifications on the grassland, firstly, because those herdsmen rarely care about where the grassland boundaries of their own nationality are when grazing, and secondly, the grassland people have always been straight to the past, if there is an additional barrier, I am afraid that it will be a lot of trouble.

Therefore, Ning Xiyue asked people to build a simple fortification on the grassland, and planted some trees on the territory of his own nation to show the boundary, and of course, to protect the water and soil.

In addition, there is not much territory, but there are many herders who need to be fed, so that those nearby hillsides can be reclaimed, although the herders have always lived a nomadic life, but there are also some elderly herders who need to be resettled, so as to protect the elderly and prevent the elderly from being affected by the migration of their homes.

Then, after a few days of investigation, Ning Xiyue was surprised to find that although this was a grassland, all she saw in front of her were grasslands, but there were still some low slopes not far away, which provided a guarantee for the reclamation of wasteland she proposed.

For a while, those things were done in an orderly manner, of course, Ning Xiyue was also welcomed by the Baha, no matter where she went, she was treated as a guest, and she also fully appreciated the customs of the Baha.

After a few more days like this, Ning Xiyue became more and more pleased by the Baha'i people, even if Batu was discussing the affairs of the clan with those group people, he would take her with him.

"You've been tired of the past few days, tonight is the Lantern Festival in our clan, and that place is not far away, I'll take you there later." Batu looked at Ning Xiyue, who was dressed in Baha makeup, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

Ning Xiyue didn't speak, and let Ah Zhu comb the headdress of a Baha woman behind her, these days in the Baha tribe, those Fuchen's clothes are very conspicuous, it is really too maverick, yes, generally only in her own tent will she change into Fuchen's clothes.

"Miss, you are so beautiful, even in our grassland, you are the most beautiful girl." Ah Zhu pressed Ning Xiyue's shoulder, and a thick smile hung on the corner of his mouth.

She squinted at Batu on the side, and her clear eyes were filled with meaningful joy.

After the makeup was done, Ning Xiyue was helped up by Ah Zhu, who was very respectful, as if she was really supporting a bride.

"It's just a good skin, but it has also caused me a lot of trouble, by the way, tonight, I don't need you to accompany me, you can go to your lover." Ning Xiyue glanced at Ah Zhu with a little meaning, and tapped it on his forehead mischievously.

Ah Zhu blushed with shame, quickly turned around and ran out, not caring at all about Ning Xiyue behind her and laughing at her.

"Laughing at others, we should go out too." Batu looked at Ning Xiyue with a smile on her face, her heart was full of joy, and the corners of her mouth grinned unconcealably.

Ning Xiyue had long been accustomed to the laughter of Batu's steppe people, so she shook her head slightly and walked directly outside, but after opening the curtain of the tent, she glanced back at Batu, who was scratching his head, "Didn't you say that it was time to go out?" Why hasn't it come out yet? ”

Although the relationship between the two is good, at first Ning Xiyue was worried that there would be any rumors, but the strange thing is that those things seem to be unpublicized in the Baha, and no one has talked about them so far.

It's just that what she doesn't know is that those rumors have been suppressed by Batu a long time ago, and basically the Baha people know that Ning Xiyue is a married person.

Of course, there are also some people who are talking behind their backs, but those people were all warned after being discovered by Batu, or Batu directly came up with evidence, in order to let others not misunderstand Ning Xiyue, Batu also found a woman for himself.

Ning Xiyue didn't know about these, and if there were no rumors, she would be idle.

The two soon arrived at the place where the festival was held, where candles were arranged in various shapes, some of which were animals, some of which were plants, and which made people dazzled by the sight but not aesthetically fatigued.

In the middle of the candles and the national aisle, let those who watch the lanterns pass, of course, these aisles are relatively narrow, so that very few people will pass from where, those people know that one person must pass two people, if they all pass from there, this lantern will not have to be held.

Ning Xiyue looked at the various candle shapes on the venue, swept away the haze in her heart for many days, and watched around in the aisle like a reception, which was very lively.

"Batu, it turns out that your Lantern Festival is to take out the candles and burn them!" Ning Xiyue looked at it again and again, and found that those candles had been specially treated, and some of the light emitted by candles would have different colors.

In fact, the Baha'i Lantern Festival is similar to the Lantern Festival in Fuchen, but those lanterns are lanterns, and here the candles are directly taken out to burn.

After some observation, Ning Xiyue found that next to the shape of each candle, there was a small bag, and sometimes when the candles in the shape were burned, those herdsmen who knew this would take out an identical candle from the bag and replace it.

"Don't you think it's funny? Different shapes, different lights, such beauty is not something that can be found on ordinary days. Batu glanced at the candles, a smile on his lips.

The two are now friends, but they didn't let each other call their honorific titles, which made them even more cordial.

Ning Xiyue was slightly stunned, her dark eyes turned around in her sockets, and then she nodded slightly, looking at a group of people not far away, she went over to take a look.

But I saw a woman dressed as a Baha'i dancing on a shelf with holes, and some colorful fires came out of the holes and jumped.

The woman danced on the shelf to the music played by the musical instrument master next to her, and it was clear that there was fire under her, but the fire did not seem to hurt her.

"Batu, that's amazing, how did she do it?" Ning Xiyue pointed to the woman dancing on the fire.

The shelf was made of iron, and it was bound to burn under the candle flame, but the woman danced on top of it as if it were not a fire but a green meadow.

Batu glanced at it, "This! In fact, it's very simple, that girl has long been accustomed to this kind of temperature, she has been practicing this since she was a child, so she will be fine. ”

Ning Xiyue nodded ignorantly, not speaking, after all, she was a guest, and she would have to leave sooner or later from the Baha tribe, and whether those people had refined anything or not had nothing to do with her.

The two walked around a few more times, and it wasn't until Ning Xiyue was tired that Batu pulled her back.

Inside the palace of Prince Mugoe.

Nalan Shu had a calm face, and he couldn't wait to drive away all the guards who were kneeling on the ground, and his always excellent self-control was vulnerable when he encountered Ning Xiyue's matter.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, his subordinates have searched all the surrounding areas, but there is still no whereabouts of Miss Ning."
