Chapter 426: Nightfall
Mu Lingyu and Su Ji went to the Yiqu tribe together.
Thinking that King Dog Rong was not asking about Mu Lingyu's marriage, Su Ji was full of joy and asked, "Miss Mu, Yiqu has always been in love with you. Later, when you arrive at the Yiqu tribe, what are you going to do? You helped me withdraw the marriage contract before, and now it's your turn to make decisions for yourself. ”
Mu Lingyu felt that there seemed to be a hint of schadenfreude in his words, and said lightly: "I am sorry for him for this matter, and I will make amends to him." However, I will not marry him anyway, it is a big deal to die in front of him. ”
Su Ji hurriedly said: "Miss Mu, don't be impulsive! If you die, what will I do?"
Mu Lingyu glanced at him and asked, "I'm dead, and you don't want to live?"
Su Ji smiled: "No." I mean, if you die, I'm going to be in pain. In the following thousands of years, in order to alleviate the pain, I could only try to try to forget you, and reluctantly married three wives and four concubines. I'm afraid that my body won't be able to bear it by then, and I won't be able to live my life. ”
Mu Lingyu raised her eyebrows and said coldly: "Don't worry. Before I die, I will help you cut off your children and grandchildren, so that you will not suffer. ”
The two of them walked and chatted, walked into the Yiqu tribe together, and came directly to the main tent.
After the guards made a report, a rugged face like a hunter poked out of the tent, and a middle-aged man in a black tiger skin walked out. Under the reflection of the sun, the tiger skin on the middle-aged man's body glowed gray-blue, and it was like the fur that had been peeled alive from a huge black tiger.
Mu Lingyu recognized at a glance that this middle-aged man in tiger skin was the son of King Yiqu, who once intercepted Yiqu, one of the four major priests.
Yiqu's eyes were half-squinted, looking like he had just woken up. The sharp light in his eyes was inadvertently revealed between opening and closing, and his expression was like that of a dozing tiger. It wasn't until he saw the faces of the two visitors clearly that Yiqu suddenly opened his eyes wide, hurriedly greeted him, and said enthusiastically: "It turned out to be you, come on, come on, please come inside!"
As he spoke, Yiqu picked up Su Ji with one hand, Mu Lingyu with the other, and strode towards the tent.
"Xiao Mu, Brother Su, it's really a few times I haven't seen you!" After saying this, Yiqu let go of the hands of the two people.
Mu Lingyu was slightly stunned, in the past impression, Yiqu never dared to hold his hand casually. This natural and casual action, as well as his calm attitude when he saw himself and Su Ji together, made Mu Lingyu feel extremely unfamiliar with the Yiqu in front of him.
“...... Long time no see. Mu Lingyu said in a low voice, feeling a little uncomfortable in the face of Yiqu's kind attitude.
At this time, Su Ji took out a black and shiny sheep's horn dagger and asked, "Brother Yiqu, do you remember this dagger?" When I was trapped in Shenhou Mansion and my life was dying, you lent me the sheep's horn dagger you carried with me for self-defense, and said that if I can return it to the Yiqu tribe alive, I am qualified to drink two cups with you. ”
Looking at the sharp blade that was as sharp as autumn frost, Yiqu showed a nostalgic expression and sighed: "Remember, of course you remember! Then do you remember the first thing you said when you got this dagger?"
Su Ji rolled his eyes and replied with a smile: "I said at the time: Look at your red face and red ears, the amount of alcohol must not be good!"
Yiqu laughed heartily and said heartily: "Hahahaha, okay! Then I'll let you see how much I drink today, are you willing to accompany me?"
Su Ji responded happily: "Accompany you to the end!"
In a few moments, a few soldiers from Yiqu brought the best wine jar into the tent.
Su Ji directly picked up the big altar of wine and drank it all. Yiqu kept toasting him, wanting to compete with him for the amount of alcohol. Su Ji raised his glass frequently, until he was defeated and was convinced.
The two of them drank happily, and drank so much that they didn't know how many jars of fine wine they had drunk.
While the two were drinking, Mu Lingyu was waiting impatiently beside him, since he had made up his mind to withdraw from the marriage, he was not ready to think about more time, turned his head to look at Yiqu, and said straight to the point: "I came this time to talk to you about ......"
Before she could finish speaking, Yiqu suddenly remembered something and interrupted: "Xiao Mu, I have something in my heart that I have always wanted to say to you. If I don't say it, I always feel uncomfortable in my heart. ”
Mu Lingyu didn't speak, and his face sank suddenly.
Yiqu put his hand into his arms, took out a sheepskin roll and handed it to Mu Lingyu, explaining: "Xiao Mu, this is the marriage contract that your mother and my mother made for us. Now, I have a place in my heart and am ready to marry my sweetheart one day. ”
Mu Lingyu was stunned suddenly, recalling that King Dog Rong said that Yiqu had not married a wife for thirty years, and he didn't expect that he suddenly had a heart.
Yiqu lowered his head, showing a guilty expression, and said ashamedly: "Xiao Mu, I didn't inform you of this matter in advance, and I quit this family business without authorization." Are you going to be mad at me?"
Where to get angry?
Su Ji and Mu Lingyu glanced at each other, almost didn't laugh out loud on the spot, and a big stone fell to the ground in their hearts.
Seeing Mu Lingyu shaking his head, Yiqu smiled with relief.
Su Ji hugged his fists and said, "Brother Yiqu, congratulations!"
Yiqu grinned and asked, "Then again, you two came together, don't you just want to catch up with me, do you?" Xiao Mu, what did you want to talk to me about just now?"
Now, Mu Lingyu didn't want to say that he wanted to withdraw from the marriage, so he gave Su Ji a look.
Su Ji comprehended and said with a smile: "Brother Yiqu, the purpose of my visit this time is to borrow troops from you, hoping to unite all the tribes of the Rong clan and crusade against the faint king." ”
"I've heard a little about it. Yiqu pondered for a moment, and said in a firm tone: "The crusade against the Dusk King has been the common wish of the five tribes of Xirong for many years, and the Yiqu tribe must respond with all their might, and it is incumbent on them!"
Su Ji and Mu Lingyu exchanged a look. The Yiqu tribe was the last Rong tribe to unite, and the result was unusually smooth, so smooth that the two of them felt incredible. Since the covenant was temporarily reached, Su Ji didn't want to stay longer.
Before dark, Yiqu personally sent the two out of the camp.
Looking at the backs of the two people walking away together, Yiqu's expression darkened.
As night fell, the moonlight illuminated his rocky eyebrows, his beastly eyes, and the sharp corners of his two tiger teeth hooked his lower lip, revealing an extremely dangerous aura.
Yiqu returned to the camp alone, but instead of returning to his tent, he walked outside another tent with lights on. Taking a deep breath, he asked in a low voice:
"It's getting dark, I can come in. ”
There was no response in the tent, Yiqu carefully opened the curtain and slowly walked into the tent, and was greeted by a green-shirted woman with white eyes.
“...... What a heavy smell of wine. The woman in the green shirt covered her nose slightly.
Yiqu looked vigilant, as if he was facing a great enemy. The expression on his face became rigid and cold, a heavy hand quietly stretched out the tiger skin cloak, and five thick fingers clenched the horn dagger at his waist one by one, as if he was ready to strike at any moment.
"Demon girl, don't deceive people too much! I have agreed to form an alliance with Su Ji, when will I send my father back?"
"There's no hurry. The woman in the green shirt slowly took off the blindfolded white silk, revealing a pair of bewitching fox eyes, and said with a smile: "This is just the first step, I still have a lot of things that you need to do." ”
