Chapter 13 The Pledge of Supporters
At dawn the next day, there was a flurry of gongs in the tribe, followed by a chaotic pace and a cacophony of human voices. Ye Bushu rubbed his eyes, put on the black coat that he had been with for an unknown amount of time, yawned and pushed the door and walked out.
The streets were full of young people who had risen early to be picked up by the elders, all in good spirits, and they were rushing to the square in front of the council chamber.
A large number of people had already gathered in the square. The night was not closed, and I saw the center of the square from afar, and Liu Chongzheng was discussing something with Liu Zhong and another elder. The elder man was taller than Liu Zhong, and his beard was all white, and he was slightly hunchbacked. Since he came to the square to pick someone, this person must be the Elder Kang who was temporarily hunting.
At night, Liu Chongzheng was discussing things with the two elders, and felt that it was not appropriate to disturb him at this moment, so he stood in place for the time being.
Suddenly, a pair of warm slender hands blindfolded him from behind, and there was no need to think that this must be Liu Qin'er.
"I knew you were indispensable in such a lively place, so let it go. Ye Bushu smiled and took her hand down.
"How do you know it's me?" Liu Qin'er smiled and turned to Ye Buhui.
"Of course, I have a heart. The corners of his mouth rose and looked at Liu Qin'er with a smile.
"I don't believe it. Liu Qin'er pursed her lips.
"Did you say that Elder Feng was killed by someone from the Shan Clan?" asked Ye Bu Zhengse.
"It must be, otherwise who else?" asked Liu Qin'er rhetorically.
"I think it's a little strange, but I can't figure it out for a while. ”
"Except for the Gushan clan, I don't think anyone else dares to have such courage!" Liu Qin'er said angrily.
"Okay, let's not talk about that, the elders are starting to pick people. Ye Bu pointed to the center of the square.
At this time, the young people who came to the square to pick up were neatly lined up in dozens of rows, Liu Zhong and Liu Kang each selected a hundred or so people who were satisfied with themselves, and the rest were dismissed by Liu Chong and left separately.
By the time the rest of the people in the square had dispersed, it was time for breakfast. The young people who were selected ate the breakfast and porridge sent by the aunts and ladies of the clan on the spot, and then followed the two elders on the road into the mountain. This is indispensable for the parents, wives and children to send each other.
"Here, let's eat some porridge. I don't know where Liu Qin'er brought a bowl of corn porridge and handed it to Ye Buhui.
"Don't you eat?" The autumn morning was a little cold, and he asked softly as he looked at Liu Qin'er's frozen apple-like face.
"I'm not hungry, eat quickly. Liu Qin'er said with a smile.
Looking at the morning porridge brought by his beloved woman herself, how could it be warmer than this, and I took it and ate it in a big gulp at night. Liu Qin'er stood aside and watched, with a happy smile leaking from the bottom of her heart.
The clan was busy, and Liu Chongzi didn't see the two of them at night. After Liu Zhong and Liu Kang took people away, he turned around and walked into the conference hall.
"Let's go, I'll take you somewhere. Seeing that the porridge was finished at night, Liu Qin'er spoke.
"Where are you going?" asked Ye Bu.
"You'll know when you go. Liu Qin'er sent the dishes and chopsticks to an aunt who was cleaning up in the square, and left without collecting them at night.
The two rode together on the Lieqi dragon horse and shuttled through the tribe, until they ran eastward.
I have to say that the Yulong clan is really big, and it has been traveling for twenty or thirty miles to reach the edge of the eastern part of the tribe, and like other tribes, the edge here is also surrounded by thick walls. However, there are no more houses here, but a small river is half-surrounded by a crescent moon, and there are all kinds of withered weeds on the side of the river, and a few children are scattering their own dragon horses in the meadow, saying that they are dragon horses, but they only have the blood of dragon horses, and there is no single horn on their heads, and I don't know how many generations have passed, but compared to ordinary horses, these horses are much taller and have stronger endurance.
Walking forward again, there was no one left, and Liu Qin'er pulled Ye Bushu to sit on a clean boulder.
"What are you bringing me here for?" asked Ye Bu, puzzled.
"I just want to be alone with you, there is no one here, no one can see it. Liu Qin'er smiled mischievously.
"Are you afraid that others will look at you?" Ye Bushu frowned, and a trace of displeasure flashed in his heart.
"After all, we don't have a marriage contract yet, so we're afraid of gossip. Liu Qin'er looked at Ye Bushu seriously and said.
Her eyes looked as clear and transparent as a pool of clear water, clean and flawless, coupled with her delicate face, which made Ye Bushu stunned.
"Hey, why don't you speak?" Seeing Ye Buhui looking at him stupidly, Liu Qin'er leaned closer to him, stretched out her right index finger and scratched the tip of his nose.
"Ahh......h
"What are you thinking?" Liu Qin'er leaned closer to him again, the refreshing and unique girlish fragrance made the heart like a deer crashing into the night even more distracted, the delicate red lips seemed to have all kinds of magic, making the night not to retract the heart ripple, and couldn't help but hold Liu Qin'er's soft hand.
The four eyes are facing each other, sympathizing with each other. Ye Bu Hui slowly stretched out her other arm to take Liu Qin'er into her arms, her soft delicate body seemed to melt Ye Bu Closing's whole heart, the red lips like fire exhaled a trace of freshness, like a cherry in May, making people obsessed, and couldn't help getting closer, and kissed it gently......
"Don't, don't ...... like this" Liu Qin'er instinctively tilted her head and whispered.
I can't take care of a lot at the moment, and I hugged her tightly, and I couldn't stop it.
The love is deep and strong, and Liu Qin'er finally kisses together with the night without tightening......
That indescribable feeling of happiness made the two nostalgic and unstoppable. It didn't occur to them that kissing their loved ones would be addictive.
"No, I'm out of breath......" Liu Qin'er slowly pushed Ye Bushu away and said softly.
"Say, when did you first like me?" said Ye Bu and laughed roughly.
"Then when did you fall in love with me?" Liu Qin'er didn't take a look at the night.
"If you don't say it, I'll do it again. "Saying that the night is not closed, he is about to come.
"Don't, I'm afraid of you, okay?" Liu Qin'er hurriedly stretched out her hands to block.
"Say, did you like me the first time you saw me? "Continuing to laugh at night, there is a bit of self-esteem, in today's words, a little narcissism.
"Go, you think beautifully!" Liu Qin'er pouted and said.
"Then why did you have to avenge me in the first place?" this is something that Ye Bushu has never been able to understand, and this is what he has always wanted to ask.
"Hmph, when my eldest brother was first promoted to the capital leader in the previous autumn, the Gushan clan robbed us of a few dragon horses and injured several people in our clan. At the beginning, the eldest brother suppressed the matter in order not to make a mess, although the backing mountain clan later returned Ryoma and apologized, but this matter has always been in my heart, and it is a hurdle that cannot be overcome. Do you understand?" Liu Qin'er said angrily, breaking free from the night and standing up.
"It's because I see that you keep your promises when you speak, and how you look and what you say in the past, so I will feel a little bit about you. I'm done talking, it's time for you to speak. Liu Qin'er twisted her waist and straightened her somewhat messy hair.
"Do you want to know?" asked Ye Bushu with a smile.
"Of course I think so, tell me quickly!"
"I'll tell you about it slowly in the future. "I didn't collect it at night, and I deliberately sold it for a pass, and I also stood up.
"You ......" Liu Qin'er didn't put her fingers away at night, and her face turned crimson with anger.
Ye Buhui took the opportunity to hug her again and pasted her again......
"Will you marry me?" Liu Qin'er asked affectionately with her hands around her neck.
"I swear to the gods of Tai Yi that I only like you in this life, and I will only marry you as my wife, but ......"
"Well, that's enough. Without waiting for Ye Bu to finish, Liu Qin'er interrupted him with a word, and quickly kissed Ye Bu Hui's face as she spoke, "Let's go, let's go back!"
Ye Bushu's mood was fluctuating at the moment, he wanted to tell her the idea of marrying Liu Qin'er after taking revenge, but the feeling of intimacy and happiness just now made it difficult for Ye Bushu to say for a while, and both of them were on the rise, and it was a little inappropriate to say it at this time.
It was close to noon when I returned to the conference hall, and I happened to meet Liu Chong and Liu Lihe walking out of the hall.
"Big brother, what are you doing here?" Liu Qin'er asked first. At the same time, Ye Bu also arched his hand to the two.
"Elder Li and Elder are going to go to Zhongnan Mountain to find the cultivation gate immediately, you and Bu Cheng will wait for me in the hall first, and I will send Elder Li and Elder Li. Liu Chong smiled and spoke to the two.
"Most of the consuls are busy, go back quickly, I can go on the road alone." Liu Lihe waved his hand to Liu Chongdao.
"How can that be done!" Liu Chong insisted.
"Don't be polite when you are here, go back!" Liu Lihe shook his head.
"Well, the elder will go through all kinds of hardships and dangers on this trip, please take care of yourself along the way!" At Liu Liji's insistence, Liu Chong had no choice but to give up his hand and resign.
"Most of the leaders, please rest assured, I will live up to my mission on this trip!" Liu Liji also bowed his hand to Liu Chong and turned around.
Sixty or seventy miles to the west, the mountains are undulating and the peaks are towering. If you look closely, the mountainside is densely packed with caves, either man-made or natural, and this is where the Gushan clan is located, who do not build houses and live in caves for generations.
On the top of an open mountain, there are figures all over, more than ten totem flags embroidered with various patterns are flying in the wind, one of them is embroidered with a golden flag holding a trident mountain god is the most eye-catching, and there is a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes and a beard on a high platform below the flag, this person is the leader of the mountain clan.
Dozens of people stood on the left and right under the high platform, and on the left were the eight elders of the Gushan clan headquarters and the leaders of each team. On the right are the twelve tribal leaders of the Clan of the Alliance. All around were people of all ethnic groups with weapons in their hands, and they all looked at the high platform with bated breath, waiting for the lecture of the capital leader.
"I have told you that if you want a tribe to be strong, you have to fight constantly, for their land, for their women, or for their possessions, and even for their strong men. If we make their things ours, we will naturally become stronger!" Shan Lie looked at everyone and said loudly to the audience.
"Okay, Dadu Ling said it well!" cheered below.
"In recent days, all the clans and commanders have done well, but the Xixi clan has been frustrated in the battle with the Qingyang clan, and one elder has died in the battle. Everyone said, should this revenge be avenged?" asked backer Shan Lie directly to the point.
"If you don't take revenge, my Xixi clan will never give up!"
"Destroy the Qingyang Clan, destroy the Qingyang Clan!" everyone echoed in unison.
"And the Imperial Dragon Clan! who dared to attack us while I and the elders were away, and killed our archwizard. At the beginning, I didn't dare to act rashly because I didn't have enough strength, but today I have everything, it's time to crusade against them, and I invite all the leaders to come over today, just for this matter!"
"Swear to follow the capital leader to the death and destroy the Imperial Dragon Clan!"
"Swear to follow the capital leader to the death and destroy the Imperial Dragon Clan!"
Again, the crowd agreed.
"Do you have any objections?" Seeing the excitement of the crowd, the backer asked a question to show his respect for everyone.
"In recent days, our clan has continued to fight, exterminating five clans, and 12 of them have defected to us, and our clan has suffered more than 1,700 casualties. If this continues for a long time, it will surely accumulate grievances in the world. How many of my people have lost their husbands or sons? Aren't the Metropolitan Leaders afraid that they will have resentment in their hearts? Aren't they afraid that people's hearts will turn away?" Among the tribesmen on the left, a long-bearded man in his fifties walked out.
"Backer Dehou, how dare you disturb the heart of our army?" Hearing this, the backer roared angrily.
"If we want our tribe to really be famous all over the world, it is absolutely impossible to rely on force alone, we must also cultivate virtue, so that they can come to the vote is superior, and most of the capital leaders now only rely on force to act, I am afraid that it is a fire to accumulate salaries, and it is in danger!"
"Elder Dehou, isn't the strength of the Jiuli clan out of the fight? Can't my backing clan be like the Jiuli clan? Do we want to be attached to the Jiuli Alliance forever? You don't need to say much, you have a high reputation, I don't care about you, go back and prepare quickly, and go out with me!" said in a deep voice.
"Metropolitan ......"
"Leaders, elders, bring your own tribesmen to go out with me, first destroy the Qingyang clan, and then attack the dragon, and set off!
For a while, the crowd was boiling, and more than 10,000 people of all ethnic groups rushed down and headed towards the location of the Qingyang clan.
