That being said, bear with it...... Tuyuhun's guards who were present at the time all clenched their fists.

"The Tubo people are too arrogant, and the last time they were just taking advantage of their large number of soldiers, if it was one-on-one, they might not be our opponents." Someone said unconvinced.

After drinking a few bowls, the rational ones persuaded: "The Tubo people are as fierce as our Qiang people, and they let the defeated or cowardly people hang fox tails on their heads as a sign of humiliation; became a deserter on the battlefield, and their children and grandchildren were looked down upon, so when they went to the battlefield, they only went forward and did not retreat...... We didn't lose that battle unjustly, not only because there were many people, but also because of the fierce spirit that was not afraid of death, we were one-on-one with them, and we were also half victorious and half defeated. ”

Someone pulled his clothes with red eyes, grabbed his neck and asked, "Marcy, are you from Tubo, or are you from Tuguhun from us, how can you help them talk?" ”

Marcy tore off his hand, shook it off and ran to the other side, and said angrily: "I'm telling the truth, one by one can only rush up with the courage of a horseman, and I don't know how to die." ”

"In any case, death in battle is better than humiliation!" The most angry was Moses Janah, who was serving wine and drinking with Tota, but he didn't expect Tota to turn his face in a blink of an eye and say such provocative words, which made him feel a sense of shame that I treat you as a brother and you treat me as a donkey dung, and at this time, after listening to what everyone said, he was even more indignant.

Marcy said: "I think it's better to report tonight's events, and just let everyone see if the princess of the Tang Dynasty is facing them or us." ”

Someone muttered, "Princess Wencheng is the future queen of Tubo, of course she will look towards them." ”

Marcy said: "But Princess Honghua, our queen of Tuyuhun, she should report this matter to us, if it is not handled well, the Khan will have a dislike with her, and she will be untenable if she is in our Tuyuhun." ”

One of the people who was adding "golden mushrooms" to the fire pit shook his head and said, "If this method doesn't work, if they discuss it, then Tota is talking drunk, apologize and apologize, should we accept it or not?" Even if the queen is biased towards us, there is nothing she can do. Besides, she always had to give that Princess Wencheng some face. ”

Moses Janah said hatefully: "A woman from a foreign tribe, how can a woman from our own tribe be good, but the Khan listens to her in everything, just like our Tuyuhun is really a princess, and even made a dowry with people and land, and now the right to autonomy is gone." ”

Hearing this, everyone fell silent, and they looked at Geldan, the head of a thousand households, who had not spoken.

Geldan's second sister, Mei Si, was one of the concubines of Nuo Haobo, and he was very affectionate with Nuo Haobo and Princess Honghua, and was very dissatisfied with his sister in the cold.

Geldan smiled and turned the fire more vigorously with tongs, "Let's invite the guests to drive the yaks, let the guests shoot them and make them into dishes, so that they will look noble, three days later, the Khan will hold a banquet to welcome Princess Wencheng and her party, if the brothers have any anger or resentment, use their skills in the yak herd." ”

Originally, letting the guests shoot the yak was just a formality, but if you move some hands and feet in the middle, it may hurt people, once someone is injured in Datang or Tubo, it will not only avenge the revenge of being despised tonight, but also a test of the feelings of Nuo Haobo and Princess Honghua.

If you really greet the guests, they tie the ox there and shoot an arrow casually, but it is clear that Geldan is going to design the latter, a real competition in the yak formation, a competition of life and death.

Everyone applauded in unison, and Moses Jana was the first to approve, "There is still a way for the head of a thousand households, this method is good, so that they can't speak." ”

"Then, what if something happens and makes Datang and Tubo unhappy?" Marcy thought about it, but only objected.

Geldan sneered: "Everyone tried their skills, and there was an accident in shooting the yak, is it possible that it will depend on us?" I can only blame them for their bad lives and poor skills. ”

Although it is a noble ritual to drive the yak and shoot the yak with your own hands on the plateau, sometimes the border vassal states also regard it as a wrestle with each other.

After all, to shoot a yak in the midst of a gallop of ten thousand oxen is not something that ordinary people can do, it takes extraordinary courage and extraordinary skill.

Winners can get applause and respect, and losers will inevitably lose their confidence and be discouraged.

When he learned the news, Li Yuntong was learning about the customs and folk customs of Tuyuhun and Tubo, the legends of the characters or the relatively large events in the past, and reserved more knowledge for his life in Tubo.

Since Li Danyao had only been here for more than a year and her knowledge was limited, the topic of this aspect was quickly finished, and the two of them rode around the grassland, while the guards and maidservants followed from a distance on horseback.

"It's fine under the snow this year, and the grass should grow well next year, right?" Looking at the snow everywhere, Li Yuntong asked with the knowledge he had just learned.

"Well, wait for two more snowfalls, and the snow will be enough. In the summer, the cattle and sheep gnaw less, the grass grows well can not reach the waist, and the year is good, and everyone's life can be better. Li Danyao sighed.

Hearing that his cousin, who used to never touch the sun and onion water with her index finger, actually cared about the people's livelihood, Li Yuntong couldn't help but smile and said: "It seems that the life of being a queen is not easy!" ”

Li Danyao let out a "hmm". After a while, she added: "Indeed, now every move, thought, and thought must take into account the interests of the Tuyuhun people, plan for them, and make them trust me...... I feel that I have a lot of responsibilities on my shoulders, and although I have a lot to worry about, this kind of life of freedom is still better than being subject to many constraints before. ”

"I don't know if I'll be as happy as my sister in the future!" Li Yuntong looked at the majestic snow-capped mountains in the distance and said.

Li Danyao heard a little envy and melancholy from her voice, she didn't answer for a while, and after a while, Fang said: "Yuntong, you are a smart person, I won't say much, life is lived by yourself, if you have Longwangshu, you will often fall short......"

"I believe that as long as you make up your mind, you will be able to live well," After a while, she seemed to be talking to herself, and like a warning to Li Yuntong, and said softly, "We all have to be good." ”

I didn't expect that my heart would be seen through, Li Yuntong was a little embarrassed, her voice was like a mosquito, "Sister can see it?" ”

Li Danyao nodded, "Your eyes can also hide from those careless men." I won't talk to you about shame, we have no choice in our current situation, you should dispel that thought as soon as possible, otherwise if others see it, your little life will be lost, and I am afraid it will affect your father and brother. If you like someone you shouldn't like, you just use lime to point your eyes and make yourself uncomfortable. ”

Li Yuntong smiled bitterly, "I also know this truth, it's just an emotional matter, where is controlled by yourself, you can accept it if you say it!" ”

Glancing at her, Li Danyao said: "My sister is two years older than you, so I will persuade you here, the stone hits ten thousand feet high, there is always a fall, instead of delaying and harming others and yourself, it is better to turn back early." When the interruption continues, but suffer from the chaos, in the past, you and Zhou Daowu had to get married, and if you didn't say that you would disperse, you would disperse...... It's not a shadow thing, what is planted in it? ”

Li Yuntong's eyes showed a blankness, "I don't know, maybe it's because I'm far away from home, I miss my mother and sisters, or maybe I'm going to a completely unfamiliar place, and I always feel like I'm looking for something to rely on and something to grasp...... And at the moment of life and death, he grabbed me, like Putuo who rescued the suffering, and suddenly shone brightly and made me surrender. ”

Li Danyao said with a straight face, "But have you thought about it, in the boudoir before, there were fathers and brothers outside, and there were mothers and sisters inside the door, you can rely on it if you want, and it is not a big deal to indulge in feelings." This is thousands of miles away from home, and a moment of weakness may kill you, remember, our women show weakness in order to get more, not really weak. ”

"Before you get into trouble, ask yourself, are men like this? The merit of the territory is to be meritorious, and the merit is not crooked, crying and begging, relying on, having to knock out teeth and swallowing blood, and working hard to get hands and defend it. Unless you want to be a woman who obeys men in the inner house and dies silently in Tibet, otherwise...... Li Yuntong, you can't be weak, and you can't think about who to rely on. ”

Li Yuntong was silent and said, "Thank you, sister." In fact, I also thought that even a good man like my father had many new people in the inner courtyard, and those old people were not pampered by him in the palm of his hand, but now he and my mother are respectful and respectful, and the two of them are together, but they can only talk about the topic of our children, and they are no longer the strong affection and sweetness of the past. That kind of respect can also be said to be the ice ...... of ice and snow."

"So what you have to do is to take advantage of the prosperity of your family and the time when Tibet has something to ask for you; While you are young and beautiful, and when his family is new to you, establish your own power and take root in Tibet, instead of just changing casually, you can take your life. At this time, you still have the heart to think about other things, what a girl, love is great! ”

She said a little sternly: "Don't just worry about those things that are gone, think about it, what have you done along the way?" In addition to learning a few words of Tibetan dialect, can you find out a little bit of news from the Tibetan people? Do you know who is in favor of the marriage between Tang and Fan, and who is against? You must know that the Tibetan minister, he can't protect you twelve hours a day, and when your father and brother are gone, do you have the ability to protect yourself? When you arrive in Tibet, are you sure to win the heart of Songtsen Gampo instead of letting him treat you as a beautiful ornament and gorgeously decorate you in the backyard......

She asked questions one after another, and Li Yuntong opened his mouth to stammer, and found that he couldn't answer any of them.

Yes, she always felt that it was not so bad to go to Tibet, she thought that she could live well in Tibet, but where did she get such confidence?

She didn't know.
