Chapter Ninety-Three: Exempt from His Brother
Xiao Ming joked with Ami, he wanted to get closer to Ami, he knew that Ami was the princess of the Wuhuai Department, and the Wuhuai Department was a Khitan recognized horse breeding professional, Xiao Ming wanted to carry out large-scale horse trading with the Liao State, and it was the inevitable choice of businessmen to form a good alliance with the Wuhuai Department from the inside.
Of course, Xiao Ming felt that Ami was a girl who had a good impression of him, and it was also the reason why Xiao Ming felt a little funny when he saw Ami's puffing appearance, he bent down and picked up Ami's scimitar and returned it to Ami. He whispered, "Are you looking for me just to see if I can really kill a bear?" ”
Ami showed his little tiger teeth and laughed: "I know, the big stupid bear must have been stunned by your spinning around, so he was killed by you!" ”
Xiao Ming smiled: "Yes, I turned behind the big stupid bear and blew into her ear, and she was so scared that she didn't dare to move......
Ami said angrily: "Okay! How dare you joke that people are stupid bears! I ......" raised the scimitar, and then thought that he might not be able to beat Xiao Ming, so he stomped his foot angrily, turned around and left.
Xiao Ming shouted, "Don't go! You promised me to teach me Khitan dialect! ”
Ami turned around and said, "If you want to learn Khitan dialect, follow me!" "Say it, turn around and leave.
Xiao Ming thought about it was quite fun, so he followed, and the two walked to the top of the hill one after the other, Ami stood on the top of the windswept hillside, watching the bright moon from a distance and not speaking! Xiao Ming walked behind her and just wanted to speak, but felt that it was not good to speak in this atmosphere now, so he also stood quietly with Ami.
After half a ring, Ami sighed faintly: "I want to go home!" ”
Xiao Mingqi said: "Isn't Patriarch Zhechun going to send you back?" ”
"The patriarch said that the west of the Xing'an League and the east of Wuhuai Ridge have all been occupied by the Jin State, and the Jin State has captured Shangjing with fierce soldiers and horses, if I want to go home, I must wait, the patriarch said that he would gather enough 1,000 warriors to escort me"
Ami shook her head and said, "But I can't wait...... I'll have to go back right away."
Xiao Ming said: "Why? ”
"Because, because something big is happening in the clan, I have to go back immediately."
Xiao Ming said: "This is easy to do!" I'll send you back."
"What!" Ami suddenly asked loudly.
"I said I'll send you back?"
Ami smiled and said, "Ha! I knew you were a good person and would definitely help me."
Xiao Ming had a black line in his head, and he realized that he had already fallen into the Tao, although Ami seemed to be very simple, but she was as scheming as secondary, when she came to find Xiao Ming today, she had the purpose of letting this good man who killed the bear send him home, but she didn't say it, and finally let Xiao Ming say it himself.
Xiao Ming was not impulsive when he said this, he had already planned to befriend the Wuhuai Department, just now he saw the pitiful appearance of the little girl who was homesick, and couldn't help but rush out to send her home, whether it was subconsciously made him say this, he himself didn't know.
"But if you want to teach me Khitan dialect, you can't go back!" Xiao Ming hurriedly added some more requirements.
"Hee-hee! Brother Xiao is a good person, saved my life, and sent me home, I will definitely let Abba reward you well! ”
Xiao Ming said: "Why did you choose me?" Am I more powerful than a thousand Khitan warriors alone? ”
Ami said: "I don't know, but as a woman, I have special abilities in some aspects, I think you will bring me safety, and you will send me home, although I am not sure, but I trust my instincts"
Xiao Ming laughed, "It's still a woman!" I see you like a little girl! ”
Ami said angrily: "Don't laugh, I'm eighteen years old!" And already a female warrior! An adult female warrior is a woman! ”
According to the algorithm of the Khitans, the age is one year less, that is to say, Ami is now exactly nineteen years old, the age of flowers, a freshman girl! Xiao Ming shook his head and got rid of his recently lost youth!
"So you're a good warrior? I see that you shoot arrows very accurately, but you use knives very loosely, have you not practiced swordsmanship? ”
"My archery skills were learned from a famous archer master, as for the knife skills, it was taught to me by my eldest brother, but unfortunately my eldest brother died early, and I didn't learn from him for a few years" Ami seemed to be in some sadness, but she quickly recovered, and said to Xiao Ming with a smile: "From the beginning I saw you, I felt like you were like a ...... alone!" ”
"Who am I like? It can't be like your big brother, right? ”
"Hehe, you can guess it, it's like my eldest brother, my brother is the most outstanding warrior of the tribe, who in the grasslands around Wuhuai Ridge doesn't know the name of my eldest brother Dabuye! You...... You really look like him......"
Xiao Ming asked, "Then how did your brother die?" ”
Ami said: "That's a plague ...... grassland!" Speaking of this sad thing that may have touched her, Xiao Ming quickly changed the topic, "You say that I look like your eldest brother, is it because I look like you?" ”
Ami said: "You look like a thin monkey, where do you look like my eldest brother, but your eyes are very similar!"
Xiao Ming: "......"
Ami smiled: "Just kidding, don't be angry!" Why don't you be my brother? ”
Xiao Ming said: "Don't! ”
Ami said angrily: "Why do you know what will happen if someone rejects me like this? ”
Xiao Ming said: "I don't want to know, I just know that it is a very disadvantageous thing to have an extra sister for no reason, and I have to take care of her, and I have to give her gifts, when she gets married, I will be very sad, so I don't want any sister" When he said this, Xiao Ming couldn't help but think of the scene when he pestered his mother to ask for a sister when he was a child.
Ami stared at Xiao Ming stupidly at the tenderness in his eyes when he recalled the past, and muttered in his mouth: "It's too similar......!" couldn't help but tears rolled down his eyes, and suddenly ran a few steps towards Xiao Ming, shouting in his mouth: "Brother, ......!" He stood there in tears.
Xiao Ming knows that when a girl misses her dead brother, she is the most vulnerable, and people say that a woman will have three lovers in her life: her father counts one, her brother counts one, her husband counts one, and if she has no brothers, she will count her children as one, which is a primitive and pure feeling, and Xiao Ming himself can't help but be moved.
He stretched out his arm to Ami, Ami quickly threw herself into his arms, and cried, Xiao Ming was helpless, gently comforting her, and Ami's emotions calmed down after a long time.
Xiao Ming said: "Okay, it seems that we are destined for fate, I will recognize you as a sister, but there is no gift!" ”
Ami burst into tears and laughed: "I know, you are a poor brother!" Huh"
Having said that, Xiao Ming still gave Ami a gift, that is, the folding marble crossbow for his self-defense, he put the marble crossbow on the lead bullet, hit it to the burst position, aimed at a big tree a hundred meters away, and buckled the hanging knife, "Whoosh!" Three black rays of light shot out and hit the tree, and the big tree trembled.
Ami ran to the tree in surprise, and with the effort of a scimitar, she dug out three projectiles, revealing three black holes in a zigzag shape on the tree, and the projectiles had been deformed.
"Wow! That's the weapon you used to kill that Jurchen sticker, right? It's amazing! Was this for me? "Playing with that marble, I suddenly fell in love with it!
"The crossbow that shot that Jurchen warrior was bigger than this, and it used a crossbow arrow, and I aimed it at his forehead, but I didn't expect it to shoot it through my left eye, alas! He's also very hard, so he can't die chasing and killing my sister," said Xiao Ming, handing the leather bag containing the projectile to Ami and teaching her how to use it.
Ah Mi agreed: "That is, if you hunt down your sister, you should kill him, hehe!" ”
Although crossbows and bows are both shooting weapons, but the use of the method is indeed different, the use of bows and arrows is basically to use the technique of projectile, that is, to estimate the trajectory and advance of the arrow only in the air, unless you use a strong bow and a hard bow, it is impossible to use the same crossbow with mechanical force in terms of strength, and the crossbow is a three-point and one-line shooting method, the strong mechanical force can say that the arrow is sent out quickly, and it can be shot like a modern rifle.
"Haha, good thing, thank you brother!" Ami is unstoppable.
Xiao Ming smiled and said to Ami, "Why don't you tell me about your tribe?" ”
The two sat on the grass pile on the hillside, and Ami told Xiao Ming about his tribe, in fact, among the eight earliest Khitan tribes, the Xiwandan tribe, the He Dahe tribe, the Fufuyu tribe, the Yuling tribe, the Rilian tribe, the Pisu tribe, the Li tribe, the Tuliu Yu tribe and the Yugu Hou tribe, and later due to the war and merger, the current final Khitan eight tribes were formed.
After the establishment of the Liao State, especially after the Liao Taizong Yelu Deguang, a large amount of land was annexed and incorporated into countless small countries, and the state structure of the Liao State and the mode of people's life have also changed.
The emperor was very obsessed with Sinology, and there were several such emperors, the previous emperor Yelu Hongji was like this, after annexing the Bohai State and getting a large number of Han people in the north, the Liao people gradually became a combination of agriculture and animal husbandry mode of survival.
The Wuhuai Department has been reluctant to adopt the agricultural production method, but they have the largest horse herd in the whole Liao State, and pay tribute to hundreds of thousands of good horses for the Liao State every year, and the emperor personally gave the tribal leader as: "Dongjun Pastoral Envoy" high-ranking officials, and selected from the tribe to marry several queens and imperial concubines, and the Wuhuai Department became the uncle of the Liao royal family.
The current tribal leader, that is, Ami's father, is called Xiao Biyang, has two sons and a daughter, the eldest son died of the plague, and the younger son is still young, this is Ami's younger brother, Xiao Ming then knew that he not only had to recognize a sister. And with a younger brother.
Xiao Ming asked why those Jurchen stickers wanted to chase and kill her, and Ami said, "I don't know. "These Jurchens of the Jin Kingdom were very greedy, at the beginning of this year, they occupied the pastures of the horses, and asked for tribute to them horses, which was rejected by the old leader Xiao Biyang, and the Jurchens were afraid that there were tens of thousands of warriors who could fight well in the Wuhuai Department, and did not take action, but they also made enemies with each other, and there were often battles between the two sides, and the Khitans often suffered losses.
…… The two chatted for a long time, and gradually it was the second half of the night, Xiao Ming finally persuaded Ami to go back to rest, and agreed, the next day to go to the old leader of the Meiguxi tribe Zhechun to resign, and Xiao Ming protected Ami to go home, and Ami reluctantly left.
Early the next morning, Xiao Ming came to Zhechun's big account as promised, and happened to meet Ami who was also there, Ami smiled brightly at him, didn't speak, and then saluted the old leader and told the two of them their plans.
"How's that going to work! No, it's too dangerous! The old leader flatly refused.
