Chapter Forty-Three: The Old Treacherous and Cunning
The sky was nearly twilight, and the distant sky was a pink glow, reflecting the small half of the sky.
On the square of the Haoyue tribe, a large number of bonfires have been lit, and the blazing firelight reflects the sunset on the horizon.
The prairie people are good at singing and dancing, and at this time there are already a large number of young men and women singing and dancing around the campfire. From afar, you can feel the enthusiasm that comes to your face.
A joyful atmosphere!
With the arrival of Princess Pauline and Princess Nayi, the atmosphere here has also reached a climax.
A large number of young men and women, singing and dancing, surrounded Princess Pauline's group.
Princess Pauline and Princess Nayi all had happy smiles on their faces, and they couldn't help but writhe their feet along with the musical instruments.
Pang Zhongyuan walked up to Chu Mo and said softly: "Follow along to enliven the atmosphere, don't be seen as abnormal." ”
Chu Mo smiled bitterly in his heart, singing and dancing, where would he do it!
However, at this time, he could only writhe a few times with the crowd. After all, I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and the rhythm and softness of my posture are no problem, and after a few twists, I look decent.
After dancing for a while, everyone stopped, and everyone's faces were red and smiling.
Even Princess Pauline and Nayi had a little excitement on their faces.
Chu Mo was secretly vigilant in his heart, Elder Haoyue, it was really powerful!
If it weren't for Princess Baolian getting the news in advance, if he hadn't seen those secretly arranged manpower with his own eyes, I'm afraid he would have been infected by the atmosphere at this moment. Think of it like a grand prairie dinner.
Later, the person who presided over the banquet announced that the open-air banquet began.
The people of the Haoyue tribe began to move the tables and chairs and arrange them in an orderly manner. Then, another person came up with food and drinks.
All of them are the special delicacies of this grassland, roasted whole sheep, beef and mutton cooked for a long time in a large iron pot, and the aroma is overflowing.
Even Chu Mo couldn't help but move his index finger a little.
Everyone quickly found their place and sat down, and Elder Haoyue, who was at the top of the house, picked up the big bowl and said with a hearty smile: "Today's banquet, in order to welcome my niece Princess Nayi, my nephew Prince Liege!
"Dry this bowl of wine!"
With Elder Haoyue's voice, everyone present shouted in unison, "!"
Chu Mo took a sip of the wine in the bowl, and a spicy feeling came. Although Princess Baolian had said before that Elder Haoyue would not use his hands and feet on wine and food, it was better to be careful. I used jade to identify these wines and dishes, and came to the conclusion that they are non-toxic.
As the banquet began, a young and beautiful girl from the Haoyue tribe began to dance around the bonfire.
These girls are moving, dancing, young and lively, or charming and moving.
Watching these beautiful girls dance is really a pleasure, even if you don't drink, you can get drunk after watching it for a while. Chu Mo peeked at it, and even Pang Zhongyuan couldn't help but smile and look over there a few more times.
Soon, most people drank three bowls of wine. Although Chu Mo didn't drink so quickly, he also had a bowl of belly.
At this time, Elder Haoyue stood up again and asked loudly, "Are these girls beautiful?"
"Beautiful!" replied the drunken crowd, accompanied by the whistles and applause of some of them.
Elder Haoyue laughed and said, "Do you like it or not?"
"Like!" the roar of the crowd was like the howl of a pack of wolves.
Elder Haoyue said: "The men and girls on our grassland are all so direct and refreshing! Not like those Central Plains people, they are secretive, twisted and pinched, and they are tiresome!"
"Hahahaha!" everyone burst into laughter, and the atmosphere of the whole banquet was extremely warm.
"That'...... Do you young people want to confess to your sweetheart today?" Elder Haoyue asked loudly again.
Chu Moxin said: It's coming!
Sure enough, as soon as Elder Haoyue's words fell, a young voice sounded over there: "Yes!"
Elder Haoyue looked back and saw his third son, Haoyue Geshui, looking at him excitedly.
"You stinky boy...... Why have I never seen any of your sweethearts, who are you going to confess to?" Elder Haoyue asked with a smile.
Princess Baolian and Princess Nayi over there, although they already knew what was about to happen, at this moment, the smiles on their faces still became a little stiff.
Haoyue Geshui suddenly turned his head, looked at Nayi affectionately, and said loudly: "I...... Haoyue Geshui, a good boy on the grassland......! I must like the brightest pearl on this grassland! So, although the other girls are beautiful, in my heart Haoyue Geshui, I only like Nayi!"
"Whoa!"
At the banquet scene in the open air, those people of the Haoyue tribe suddenly let out a wolf-like howl.
"The third son is the most handsome!"
"The third prince is the most courageous!"
"Only our third son is worthy of the most moving pearl on the grassland!"
Haoyue Gemu, who was sitting next to Haoyue Geshui, also had a smile on his face, but in that smile, there was a little gloomy.
The most handsome, the bravest?
Haoyue Gemu glanced at the excited third brother, and the father who seemed to be happy, but in fact had calm eyes, his heart suddenly calmed down, and said secretly: Wait for the day I take over the throne, and then talk!
At this time, the warriors of the Haoyue tribe in the field had already begun to coax, and shouted in unison in the direction of Nayi: "Princess agree!"
"The princess promises!"
"The princess promises!"
The sound shook the sky and reverberated in the four fields.
Nayi sat there, the smile on her face somewhat stiff, and she took a deep breath at the sound of these calls, and then gently ...... Raised his hand.
The sound stopped abruptly!
Chu Mo saw that Elder Haoyue's face had a slightly stiff expression, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"I'll say a word. Na Yi got up slowly, stood there generously, looked around, and when her gaze swept over Chu Mo, she paused slightly, but it passed quickly.
"First of all, I would like to thank Brother Geshui for his love for Nayi. ”
"Sister Nayi, I'm infatuated with you......" Haoyue Geshui said loudly with a red face with the strength of wine.
There was another roar of applause all around.
Nayi raised her hand lightly again and pressed it down: "Everyone listen to me first." ”
Princess Wangting, Yu Wei is still there, even if the royal court suffers a big change, even if Nayi is now slandered and wanted by Brother Jin and Brother Yin, her status in the minds of the grassland people is still incomparable. Even if it is in the tribe of Elder Haoyue, it is the same!
The whole scene was quiet again.
Over there, Haoyue Geshui showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, but his eyes were still full of excitement. In his opinion, the most bright and moving pearl on the grassland must be his Haoyue Geshui ...... No one can take it away!
"Here, I would like to clarify one thing first. Nayi said softly: "There has been a sudden change in the royal court, I think you have all heard that today's happy and lively scene, Nayi should not have said this to disappoint everyone's fun." ”
"But, since Brother Geshui confessed to me, then, there are a few words, I have to say it first. ”
The muscles on Elder Haoyue's face twitched slightly, and his eyes flickered, but it didn't stop Nayi. Just looked at Princess Pauline, who was sitting there, and her gaze became cold.
Obviously, he didn't think that Nayi, who was so young, could have this wisdom.
Princess Baolian was looking at her niece gently, as if she didn't feel Elder Haoyue's gaze at all, and she didn't even look at him.
"First, Nayi is not wanted!"
With tears in her eyes, Princess Nayi said loudly: "Nayi's parents, your most beloved king and queen, were drugged by the two disobedient beasts of Brother Jin and Brother Yin, and their bodies were highly poisoned, and they were beheaded by Brother Yin's own hands!"
"Therefore, Brother Jin and Brother Yin are the real murderers who killed the king and queen!"
"Second, Nayi wants to ask her uncle to send troops to help Nayi and go to crusade against the two traitors of Brother Jin and Brother Yin!"
Nayi looked at Elder Haoyue, and her tears did not fall.
Haoyue Ge drank the water a little high, and with excitement, he said without thinking: "Sister Nayi, don't worry, as long as you become my wife, I will definitely send troops ......"
Haoyue Gemu on the side secretly kicked Haoyue Geshui's calf below, kicking Haoyue Geshui, who was already a little unstable, to the ground, and then looked calm, looked at the people who were a little surprised, and said with a smile: "The third brother has drunk too much, and he can't stand steadily, so he knows nonsense!"
"I ...... I didn't ......" Haoyue Geshui, who got up from the ground, wanted to continue the topic just now, but suddenly saw his father's gloomy and cold face, trembled all over at the moment, and hurriedly said, "Hey...... Me, I drank too much...... I'm sorry I'm ashamed...... Sister Nayi, you ...... You go on to say. ”
Princess Nayi didn't seem to see this scene at all, she looked directly into Elder Haoyue's eyes, and said: "Nayi's father and mother have just passed away now, even if Nayi has a heart, it is really not suitable to talk about marriage at such a time, I hope my uncle can understand!"
"At the same time, Nayi once again asked her uncle to send troops to help the grassland royal court, exterminate the chaotic Jin Ge and Yin Ge, return the grassland to a clean environment, and give everyone justice!"
"Nayi believes that my uncle understands righteousness and will definitely help Nayi!
As she spoke, Nayi bowed deeply to Elder Haoyue.
The whole scene was quiet, and even the most dull people could feel that the atmosphere in the air became tense.
Everyone's eyes fell on Elder Haoyue.
Elder Haoyue suddenly smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to help Princess Nayi, and said, "You have such filial piety, it is commendable!
"So, did my uncle agree to Nayi's request?" asked Nayi directly.
A cold light flashed in Elder Haoyue's eyes, and then he smiled, "This matter is too complicated, and it really shouldn't be something that a child like you should be involved in. But don't worry, both your parents are dead, and I ...... With your aunt, who is your only relative, she will definitely make decisions for you!"
Chu Mo's eyes narrowed slightly, and he secretly said in his heart: What a powerful old guy, he actually began to suppress Nayi with family affection and seniority.
Sure enough, Elder Haoyue continued: "You are my junior, and you are my favorite child! I will definitely take care of your parents' affairs! Brother Jin and Brother Yin are rebellious, kill their fathers and mothers, and subvert the royal court, I will definitely send troops!"
Elder Haoyue's words were categorical.
In all directions, there was a burst of applause.
Chu Mo's eyes were cold, and he sneered in his heart: I will definitely send troops?
"As for marriage, you still need to keep filial piety for your parents now, and it is indeed not appropriate to get married. Elder Haoyue sighed.
Haoyue Geshui's eyes widened suddenly, and he was about to speak, but he was glared at fiercely by Haoyue Gemu beside him.
At this time, Elder Haoyue's words changed: "However, Haoyue Geshui is infatuated with you, and I think you will definitely not refuse his infatuation, princess." There is no hurry to get married, but this marriage is ...... But it can be decided first!"
When Nayi heard this, her face suddenly turned pale.
