Chapter 281: Grassland Shock
The voice was low and soulful, echoing in the night sky.
The Kupang people mainly use grassland odes and love songs, and they have never heard such tunes, and they are all moved by them. Di Linaza looked at her with adoring eyes, as if she felt that this song was sung for him. Gulreba savored the lyrics with a thoughtful expression.
"Haha!" Marge said with a smile, "What kind of nonsense, you Central Plains people sing this kind of beautiful sound?"
After singing the song, Xiao Jinyan threw his hand at everyone, ignored Marge's provocation, and walked over to Ali, which made Marge very embarrassed.
A snow piano sounded, and everyone began to sing and dance again, drink wine and eat meat. It was nearly the middle of the night, when the full moon rose into the night sky, and the sound of the piano and drums suddenly stopped.
A dozen Kupangs jumped around the campfire, shirtless, with blades in hand and trumpets in their mouths. This is an ancient war dance of the Kupang people, and it is also used in grand festivals. Surrounded by the crowd, Marge joins in.
More than a dozen people jumped and walked towards Di Linazha.
"Fountain of the Crescent Moon, I, Marge, the first warrior of the steppe, the favored of the Immortal Heaven, the one-handed horse grabber, the son of the dragon, the guardian of the Lingding Sea, the future leader of the Kubang, propose to you!"
The people applauded.
Someone raised a torch and sprayed wine on top of the torch, causing a burst of flames, which made the atmosphere very warm.
After nineteen drums.
Marge stuck her long knife into the ground and said, "If there is anyone among the people who disagrees, you can fight!"
If it had been before, Dilinaza would have been very happy, but Margo's performance in the past few days has been disgusting, and she is at a loss.
"Ahh
"Ahh
The clansmen cheered up one after another, instigating some people who had a crush on the Crescent Moon Spring to challenge him, although he knew that it was only a formality, but if there was no challenger, it would be extremely boring.
At this time, Xiao Jinyan suddenly said, "I don't agree!"
This sentence was directly ignored by Marge, and he said loudly, "Since everyone is not opposed, then, Crescent Spring, please accept my love!"
Someone stepped forward and sang, "A pair of platinum bracelets, a pair of jade Ruyi, a thousand horses, and a thousand cattle......"
Marg is the son of the elders of the Kubang clan, and their clan is second only to the Gule clan in power among the Kupangs, so the marriage between the two families and the bride price will not be too shabby.
Xiao Jinyan raised his voice and said, "I don't agree!" This sentence used internal force, which directly overwhelmed the cheers of everyone, and the whole scene instantly calmed down.
Margo looked at him, "Why?"
"You don't deserve it!"
"Ahh
Marge couldn't wipe her face, so she ripped off the wolf tooth headdress from her forehead and threw it in front of Xiao Jinyan, which was a signal for the Kupang clan to start a duel.
The crowd shouted louder.
Marge said, "Pull out your sword, Central Plains, I want to duel with you!"
Xiao Jinyan shook his head and said, "I don't agree. ”
"Why?"
"It's still those three words, you don't deserve it!"
This sentence made Marg angry, "If I don't cut off your head tonight, I won't be called Marg." ”
Xiao Jinyan spread his hands, he didn't agree to propose to Di Linazha, since she didn't want to marry him, then simply destroy it, seeing that the purpose of this matter had been achieved, he turned around and walked towards the periphery.
Marge was furious, pulled out the knife on the ground, and slashed at Xiao Jinyan's back.
"Shh
"Sneak attack!"
The Kupangs are aggressive, but if they fight duels, they pay attention to fairness and integrity, and their behavior of sneaking up from behind will be despised by the clan. However, Marge was ignored by Xiao Jinyan repeatedly, and she had already lost her mind, and she was bent on killing him, and she didn't care about her image.
If this knife hits, Xiao Jinyan is afraid that his head will move.
Xiao Jinyan didn't pay any attention to it and walked straight forward. Di Lina's heart was pierced and she shouted, "Be careful!"
In the blink of an eye, the knife was half a foot behind him.
Brush!
Everyone's eyes widened, and this knife actually split into the air!
Although Xiao Jinyan's martial arts are only in the realm of smelling, the realm of smelling is not his real strength. With his senses, even if a master of the Elephant slashes out, he can sense it, not to mention that Marge is just a martial artist?
Before the long knife slashed, Xiao Jinyan had already had a sense, stepped out, came to his unvainous position, and handed out a punch to Marge.
Bang!
Marge was punched in the back, and with a knife, she fell to the ground and gnawed on a mouthful of mud. Making a fool of herself in front of her clan made Marg completely insane, "I'm going to kill you." ”
slashed out dozens of knives in a row, Xiao Jinyan didn't accept the move, just used no vain steps, and let his move fail, the more so, the more unconvinced Marg became, hundreds of knives down, Marge sat on the ground panting.
"No more fighting!"
Xiao Jinyan smiled, "What's wrong?"
"I don't have the strength. Mag couldn't help Xiao Jinyan, so she had to focus on the Patriarch of Gule and said, "Patriarch, is the marriage contract between our two families still counted?"
Patriarch Gule's face was very ugly, and he himself was in a state of conflict. On the one hand, he wanted to use the marriage between Dilinaza and Marge to consolidate his position in the clan, and on the other hand, he was worried that his youngest daughter would be wronged.
He knew best what Marge was. This man is arrogant, rude, and extremely selfish, as can be seen from the fact that he left the crescent moon fountain and fled for his life alone, and if he marries his little daughter, he may not be happy. He is not a fool, judging from the reaction of the Crescent Spring in the past few days, she is obviously very interested in this Han person, but the Han people are Han people after all, and their hearts will be different if they are not of my race, although he has helped the Kubang people a lot, Gule still rejects Xiao Jinyan from the bottom of his heart.
Guli Reba guessed her father's thoughts, she leaned over and said in a low voice, "Father, let my sister go, the Kupang clan has me!"
This sentence suddenly woke up Gule.
When he decided to marry the Heart of the Sun to King Chengxian, she was also very resistant, but after only one night, she agreed. The Kubang people are in decline, and for the sake of the people, the heart of the sun has made sacrifices, and he, who is a father, is very guilty of her, but he is helpless.
The phrase "Heart of the Sun" is like a reassuring pill. As long as she can join the royal family of the Great Chu State, then his position in the Kubang clan will definitely not be shaken, and it is only a matter of time before the Kubang clan rises on the grassland, thinking of this, he made a decision.
"The Crescent Moon Fountain is my favorite daughter, and it is up to her to decide who she wants to marry or not. ”
Everyone looked at Dilinazha.
Marge also came up to her and said, "Fountain of the Crescent Moon, will you be my wife?"
If it had been before, the Crescent Moon Fountain would have agreed, but now, she had changed her mind, she stood up and said slowly, "No. ”
One word, one sentence, to the point.
Those who didn't understand the inside story expressed their surprise.
But the Marg clan knew the reason, and Marge was about to open his mouth to save it, but he heard his father, who was an elder, say coldly, "Marge, come back." ”
Marge glanced at Xiao Jinyan unwillingly and returned to her father's side. The elder said, "Patriarch Gule, if it weren't for our warriors over the years, I'm afraid we would have been wiped out by the Huole people, right?"
Gule said, "Elder Marth, this is a bit out of sight. ”
The elder sneered, "Since our clan is not blessed to marry the Crescent Spring, there is no need for it to exist in the clan. Let's go!"
With that, he turned and walked away.
Three hundred men got up and went out. The Margs are second only to the Gul clan in the clan, and if they break away from the Kupang, they may suffer greatly in power.
"Wait, we are all people of the Immortal Heaven, Elder Matai, where are you going to take your clansmen?"
"Don't ask, it's none of your business!"
I never expected that the Moon Festival, which was originally celebrated by the Kubang tribe to celebrate the harvest, would develop to such a point, and Elder Gule was thinking of a way, when suddenly someone said loudly, "Oh no, the Huo Le people have been killed!"
In the distance, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard.
Today is the Kupang Moon Festival, most of the people in the clan are celebrating the festival in the camp, they didn't expect the Huo Le people to take the opportunity to sneak attack, dozens of people patrolling the grassland have been secretly shot by the Huo Le people, so they didn't wake up until the Huo Le people killed in front of them.
The Gul patriarch commanded, "Women and children, enter the camp, and the rest of the men mount their horses and prepare to meet the enemy!"
Before he could finish speaking, hundreds of bows and arrows shot down in this direction.
The Kupang camp was built by the water, the terrain was low-lying, and this wave of arrow rain came suddenly, and countless people were hit by arrows in an instant.
The Kupang people were in a mess, and the screams of countless women, the cries of children, and the wails of the Zhongjian people resounded through the grassland.
Seeing this, the Crescent Moon Spring also asked for the blade, but was stopped by Xiao Jinyan, "Let go of me! ”
The Heart of the Sun, pale, grabbed her sister and shook her head.
The drums sounded.
When the Kupang warriors heard the sound of the drums, they picked up their blades and turned on their horses, and lined up according to the sound of the drums, ready to fight.
After three rounds of arrow rain, the Hole people gave an order, and hundreds of horsemen charged towards the camp, and the drums suddenly changed, and the Kupangs shot arrows head-on, but the terrain was low-lying and bows and arrows did not have an advantage.
Kill!
The Hole people shouted, and the horses passed through the camp, or rode and slashed, or lit the camp with torches, and the whole Kupang camp was ablaze, and the number of dead and wounded was more than hundred.
The horn of the Hole people sounded, and all the cavalry stopped attacking. The soldiers and horses of the two sides, thirty zhang away, stood facing each other.
Different from the Central Plains War, the grassland tribes were sparsely populated, although they also killed people, but rarely exterminated, and the defeated side was mostly captured by the victorious side and became slaves, and their women, children and property also became the trophies of the other side.
"Kubangs, surrender!"
Patriarch Gule was expressionless, "We Kubang people would rather fight to the death of a soldier than surrender." ”
"I have five hundred cavalry, and you are no match for me. ”
"We also have 500 cavalry, and it is not known who will kill the deer. ”
At this time, he saw Elder Matai give an order, and nearly 100 horsemen were listed from the lineup and came to the camp of the Huo Le people.
The crowd was furious, "Shameless!"
"Traitor!"
The leader of Huo Le laughed, "You count again?"
