Chapter 1008: The Invader
Yan Du tilted her head to stare at Sikong Mingyue, making sure she wasn't joking, and hurriedly moved outside.
"I have a daughter-in-law and three children."
Sikong Mingyue raised her eyebrows, "So what?" ”
Yan Du was speechless, this one can't understand people's words?
"That means I can't marry you!"
Sikong Mingyue snorted, "I saved you, you are mine, and you should be left to me." ”
"My life can be yours, but my people can't." Yan Du smiled.
"Where am I not as good as your daughter-in-law?"
"Uh......"
"Say!"
"Figure, appearance, literary ......"
"Shut up!" Sikong Mingyue gritted her teeth and interrupted Yan Dui, "Marry me, you are the leader of the twelve tribes in the southwest!" ”
"My daughter-in-law is the Queen Mother."
Sikong Mingyue was stunned for a moment, she forgot his identity for a while, and the position that everyone coveted, but it was not in his eyes at all. Thinking of this, Sikong Mingyue took a deep breath.
"If it weren't for someone else's intention to marry me, and I need a new leader in the southwest, I wouldn't have considered you."
"Why can't you be the new leader?" Yan Du asked amusedly.
Sikong Mingyue thought his words were even funnier, "I'm a woman!" ”
"What's wrong with women, women and men are equal."
"You actually think that women and men are equal?"
"Isn't it?"
"Heh, you are ......" Sikong Mingyue wanted to use one word to describe Yan Dui, but she couldn't think of it for a while, and finally came up with a sentence: "You are indeed not suitable to be the leader of our southwest, when I didn't say it before." ”
Yan Du nodded, "I shouldn't have heard." ”
After a short period of repair, the group continued to the southwest. After walking for another day, staying until midnight, I finally came to the southwest boundary, which is called Yanggu Town.
"Most of the people in Xiyue are Xianbei people, they are not local aborigines, and they have occupied this land by force, while the twelve tribes who originally lived here have been driven to the desert steppe in the southwest, a barren land."
They rest by the river, and tomorrow they will be on the road for another day, and they will be able to reach Momiji Castle when it gets dark.
Yan Dui asked about the origin of the Twelve Tribes, and Sikong Mingyue told him this.
At this time, Tuoba Siqi was pulled out of the carriage by Tuoba Fei'er and sat down by the fire. Hearing Sikong Mingyue's words, the two did not refute it, and lowered their heads in shame.
"That wasn't enough, they wanted to drive us out of the southwest, into the desert farther west. There was an oasis there, but it grew smaller and smaller as the wind and sand invaded, and it would disappear in a few decades, and it was where their Xianbei people had lived for generations. ”
Speaking of this, perhaps because she was too angry, Sikong Mingyue looked at Tuoba Fei'er brother and sister.
"Two, I didn't wronged you, did I?"
Tuoba Siqi lowered his head, and Tuoba Fei'er replied dryly: "That was fifty or sixty years ago......
"That's why you chose to forget, and then you were ashamed to say that this land was yours, and accused us of being invaders, right?" Sikong Mingyue said angrily.
Tuoba Fei'er hurriedly shook his head, "I know, we are the invaders, we have invaded your homeland. ”
Hearing this, Sikong Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief.
"Originally, I could have married the new monarch of Xiyue, if this new monarch was Tuoba Siqi, then the Xianbei people and our twelve tribes could coexist temporarily. But Tuoba Siqi didn't want the throne, and Tuoba Siling wanted to establish a Xiyue with only Xianbei people, and advocated driving out our twelve tribes. As a result, this is the situation we have today. ”
"Hmm......" Tuoba Siqi wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it.
Sikong Mingyue looked at Tuoba Siqi and sneered, "You, you deserve it!" ”
After listening to Sikong Mingyue's words, Yan Du continued to eat scones silently, and he didn't talk too much as an outsider.
At this time, one of Sikong Mingyue's subordinates suddenly only let them look in the southeast direction.
Yan Dusk looked over, but saw that the flames were soaring into the sky, dyeing half of the sky red.
"It looks like there's a fire." And the fire was very strong.
Seeing this, Sikong Mingyue got up suddenly, "Something must have happened." ”
As she spoke, she hurriedly asked her subordinates to bring her horses.
Soon the horse came, Sikong Mingyue turned over and got on the horse, thought of Tuoba Fei'er and them again, thought about it for a while, and said: "I'll go alone to see what happened, you stay to protect them, tomorrow morning, whether I come back or not, I will leave for Red Leaf City immediately." ”
The subordinate didn't feel at ease and wanted to go along, "I'm afraid that things are not small." ”
"Don't worry, I'm just going to take a look, and I won't act impulsively." After that, Sikong Mingyue had already galloped away on horseback.
Tuoba Fei'er was worried: "It's too dangerous for Sister Mingyue to go alone. ”
Yan Dui sighed, Sikong Mingyue said that she would not act impulsively, but in his opinion, she was not the one who could calm down.
"Well, I'll go with her."
Yan Du untied the reins of his horse, instructed Tuoba Fei'er, looked at Tuoba Siqi again, and then rode out on horseback. The fire point was not far from where they were sleeping, and when they were close, Yan Dui caught up with Sikong Mingyue.
Seeing that she was about to rush forward, Yan Dusk flew up and dragged her off the horse first.
"Who!"
Sikong Mingyue was furious, and when she looked back at Yan Dusk, her brows furrowed again, "Why did you chase after you?" ”
Yan Du was helpless, "Didn't you say that you just came to see and wouldn't act impulsively?" ”
"Let's see what's going on over there!" Sikong Mingyue said urgently.
Yan Dui first pulled Sikong Mingyue to hide behind a tree, and then looked into the distance, and saw a sea of fire, and the whole village was on fire. What is even more shocking is that a group of men, women and children are trapped hand and foot in a large ring of fire, and the fire is raging, illuminating the fear, pain and despair on their faces.
Outside the fire ring were Western Vietnamese soldiers in armor, about thirty people, laughing and making noise, as if they were having a carnival.
"Four-legged bugs!"
"Kill insects and eliminate pests!"
"Crackling, all burned into charcoal!"
Those people also pointed to the people in the ring of fire who were dressed in foreign costumes, and insulted them, as if they were noble.
Sikong Mingyue gritted her teeth, "They scolded us for being four-legged bedbugs and didn't treat us as human beings at all!" ”
"It's not too early, let's add firewood to it, burn them, and let's go back to the camp and sleep." A man with a stubble on his face said that this man should be the leader of the group.
Seeing the two soldiers holding firewood and stepping forward, Sikong Mingyue was excited to rush forward.
"Can you beat them?" Yan Twilight stopped her.
"Do you want me to watch my own people being killed?"
"But if you rush forward, not only will you not be able to save them, but you will also catch yourself."
"Don't worry about it!"
Sikong Mingyue still has to rush forward, and Yan Dusk will stop again.
"I've got a way!"
