Gaoque City is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations today and is full of joy.
Festive red replaced the depressing black and became the main color.
The wedding of a newlywed couple diluted the long-standing tense atmosphere and made this late autumn, which should have been bleak and sad, joyful.
And when the fact spread that the new couple was the battalion commander of the Qin army and the woman was the daughter of a Xiongnu tribe leader, the originally antagonistic atmosphere between the Qin people and the Huns was greatly alleviated.
In order to congratulate the newlyweds, General Ying Chengyu, the leader of the Taotie Army who recognized the woman as his adopted sister, bought 15,000 sheep and slaughtered them all, ensuring that every ten people would have one sheep.
Tuteng tribe.
The bonfire was set up, the boiling water in the cauldron was scalding, the mutton was rising and falling in it, and the aroma was overflowing.
On the grill, the lamb legs and mutton are roasted from red and white to golden brown, the fat is crackling and falling off, and when you take a bite, it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
In addition to the main dish of lamb, there are cheese, kumiss, hare, wild vegetables and other foods on the ground.
This kind of scene is more lively than the big gathering held by the Huns once a year in the first month of the year.
The Hun women danced, but the dance was not graceful, but more powerful. The Hun men held weapons in their hands, and the scimitars and hammers collided to make different sounds, accompanied by jingling sounds.
Their dance evolved from fighting and herding movements.
They have no unique musical instruments, weapons are their best instruments.
The difficult living environment prevented them from developing a civilization as brilliant as the Central Plains.
They are barbaric because they want to survive.
They are rude because they want to live.
This is the culture and customs of the Xiongnu.
The Xiongnu, whose lives were not guaranteed and whose living environment was extremely harsh, had no soil for arrogance and extravagance.
The Tuteng tribe is the epitome of Gaoque City. In the land of Gaoque City, every tribe is as happy as Tuteng.
The leader of the Tuteng tribe looked at the joyful tribesmen with a heartfelt smile on his face. He also smiled happily when he listened to the language that sounded very vulgar to the people in the Central Plains.
Living in Gaoque City is much better than living in the desert...
"What a pity, it would be great if the battalion commander entered the dome of my Tuteng tribe woman..."
He muttered to himself with some regret.
The battalion commander of the Taotie Army is in charge of five hundred people. He is a big shot.
In addition to the Qin army's chief general, deputy generals, and five partial generals, the next one is the battalion commander. The leader of the Tuteng tribe is extremely eager to have a Taotie army battalion commander as his backing.
And, most importantly, the leader of the Taotie Army recognized that woman as his adopted sister and rose to the top. How could this make the leader of the Tuteng tribe not jealous?
The leader, who had spent some time with Ying Chengyu, felt that he had not taken advantage of the opportunity. He wanted to slap himself hard, sighed deeply again, and kept mumbling.
"It's a pity, it's a pity..."
Reluctantly, he looked around and started looking for Yan who was walking closest to Ying Chengyu, but he didn't see Yan's figure.
There was no surprise on his face, and he headed straight in one direction, as if he knew where Yan was.
"Yan, come and eat the sheep."
The leader opened the dome built by Ying Chengyu.
Ever since he told Yan Qiao to leave, Yan Zai always liked to stay in this simple dome house after finishing his work. This was already known to everyone in the Tuteng tribe.
Most people in the Tuteng tribe were very reluctant to leave Qiao, and they were also worried about this warrior. Yan's performance was the most obvious.
However, there was no one in the Qionglu.
The leader immediately became alert and hurriedly went to find out where Yan had gone.
Soon, he learned the news from a person, and Yan was taken away by a Qin army...
A wedding, to be precise, should be a wedding ceremony, which means a ceremony at dusk.
The reason why we should get married at dusk is because dusk is the time when day and night alternate, and it is also the best time to harmonize the yin and yang.
Men are yang and women are yin. If men and women combine at this time with the help of the right time and place, they will be happy and happy in the future.
It's getting dusk, and the newlyweds are entering the house.
Wusu wears a circle headdress on his head, with many small bone ornaments hanging on it, such as scimitars, cows, sheep and other objects, which are very common in the life of the Xiongnu.
All these ornaments were hanging down, swaying as Wusu moved around, and they collided from time to time, making an extremely subtle "harsh" sound.
This is an accessory that Xiongnu women must wear when they get married, and its meaning is similar to the red hijab worn by brides in the Central Plains.
Wang Twenty wears a mainly white robe, which has a very obvious Xiongnu style. Anyone can tell at a glance that it is Hufu.
Wang Twenty was actually very dissatisfied with this suit of clothes, but there was nothing he could do about it. The general said that for this wedding, the clothes should be worn according to the rules of the Huns.
Who makes him unable to control his own birds?
The two stepped into the large dome house that had been built overnight. In the innermost part of the dome house were Wusu's father and mother.
Both sides were filled with guests.
The deputy general of the Taotie Army, Wang Yan, and the five partial generals, Dunwei, waited for a senior general, Wang Twenty, who regarded him as his nephew's veteran.
Wearing Hu clothes and looking no different from those around him, Ying Chengyu stood next to Wusu's father and mother.
He is the officiant of this wedding.
"Worship heaven and earth!"
Wang 20 and Wu Su bowed down and worshiped the heaven and the earth.
"Two thanks to Gaotang!"
Wang 20, Wusu, kneel down to worship Wusu’s father and mother.
"Couple greetings!"
Wang Twenty and Wu Su stood facing each other, bending down together.
Ying Chengyu looked at the man and woman standing in front of him with complicated eyes.
Things have developed to this point. Although it was not what he originally expected and it was temporarily out of control, the end has been reached.
only……
"Wusu."
He simply called the woman's name.
"General."
Wusu responded slightly respectfully.
Ying Chengyu frowned, and then realized that there should be no negative emotions on this happy day. He raised his hand to rub his eyebrows and said with a wry smile:
"Why are you called so unfamiliar? You don't recognize me as your brother?"
Wusu was slightly dazed. The scene in front of him was very different from yesterday.
Yesterday, there were only four people in Wusu Qionglu.
If Ying Chengyu didn't recognize her when he went out, there wouldn't be any problem and no one would know.
But so, Wusu was satisfied.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This smart leader's daughter never expected to be worthy of being the brother and sister Ying Chengyu in public, the status gap is too big.
Therefore, at this time and place, all the important figures in Gaoque City are gathered in the Qionglu, calling themselves generals.
Because if he recognized her as his sister at this time, it would no longer be a matter of name.
But now, the general she thought was just showing off seemed to really want to be her brother...
"elder brother?"
Wusu was afraid that he might get the wrong idea and bring disaster to the tribe, so he cautiously called out in a low voice and watched Ying Chengyu's application for change with his eyes.
Ying Chengyu's wry smile remained unchanged.
"So wronged? Is it so difficult to hear you call me brother?"
Wusu's eyes suddenly brightened and he shouted crisply:
"elder brother!"
"Well, that's pretty much it."
Ying Chengyu responded, smiled bitterly, and nodded with satisfaction.
In an instant, Wu Su felt the pressure on his body suddenly increase!
The eyes of almost all the guests in the venue fell on her, making it difficult for her to breathe.
She glanced quietly from the corner of her eye and saw the big men whose names she couldn't name, but knew that they were all capable of killing her tribe.
There are many emotions on his face, including envy, doubt, attention...
She, Wu Su, seems to have truly reached the sky in one step.
Chang'an Jun's sister...is really lucky. This woman has no idea what this means.
Most people think this way.
Is the leader of the Taotie Army a piece of shit?
The Chang'an Lord of the desert is not the same as the Chang'an Lord of Qin.
"Yan, come here."
Yan, who had been shrinking and standing very uncomfortable, heard Ying Chengyu shouting and ran to Ying Chengyu with his head lowered, not daring to raise his head.
She has a very low self-esteem, and even her most confident beauty has been completely destroyed.
She stood with Wu Su, but she just didn't look as good-looking as Wu Su.
She has been busy surviving since childhood. No matter how long she grows, as long as she is not separated from the environment, she will never be as beautiful as Wusu, the daughter of the tribal leader.
There are no ugly women among nobles and nobles, and it is difficult to find beauties among the people even though they are thousands of miles away.
At this time, Yan had long forgotten the idea of sleeping with Ying Chengyu, nor did she remember her disbelief when she first heard about Ying Chengyu's identity. She just wanted to escape.
Ying Chengyu pulled Yan Yan over and made this humble Hun woman stand side by side with him.
"According to the etiquette of the Central Plains, it is not appropriate to see blood in Japan today, but this is a desert, so I will be more liberal."
Ying Chengyu said loudly, and with a wave of his hand, someone had already brought the three prepared wine bowls to him.
Ying Chengyu wiped the belly of his thumb with the Qin sword, and blood dripped into the three wine bowls.
Wusu's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't hide the excitement on his face.
After taking the Qin sword from Ying Chengyu, he cut his finger and dripped blood into the bowl.
"Yan, it's your turn."
Ying Chengyu handed Qin Jian to the overwhelmed woman with low self-esteem. The woman was stunned and didn't know how to react.
"Have you ever heard of making an alliance through blood?"
Yan shook her head blankly. In addition to the blue sky and the desert, her world consisted of sheep and shepherd dogs.
The Central Plains is too far away from her.
"Bear with me."
Ying Chengyu had no choice but to take action himself, cutting Yan's finger and dripping blood on three wine bowls.
Then he took the lead in picking up a wine bowl and drank it all.
Wusu took the initiative to pick up a wine bowl, his hands trembling slightly, and couldn't wait to drink up the bowl of wine.
Under the guidance of Ying Chengxuan, Yan picked up the last wine bowl and drank it dry.
Seeing this scene, all the guests in the hall sighed deeply in their hearts.
What two lucky women...
"I am the eldest brother. How can I be older than Wusu? How can I be the second sister? Wusu is the youngest sister."
After Ying Chengqian asked the two girls their ages, he carefully arranged their seniority.
After finishing the arrangement, he gave Wu Su one last complicated look and said loudly:
"It's done!"
The banquet was laid out, but Wang Twenty, who was getting married, had no smile on his face at all. When he was toasting at the table, the wine was drained from the bottle, and he looked like he was going to get drunk.
Inside Wusu Qionglu, Wusu lived there, waiting for the return of Wang Twenty, who was welcoming guests.
Just when Wusu was looking forward to it, a person suddenly entered.
Wusu raised his eyes and looked in disbelief, and blurted out:
"elder brother?"
Ying Chengyu snorted.
"After some time, maybe in March, I will ask you and Wang Twenty to get together and separate. During this period of time, you have been wronged, and you have to make a show with Wang Twenty in front of others. Don't worry, this guy will never dare to treat you lightly.
If he does anything untoward, just come to me and I will castrate him."
After saying this, Ying Chengyu was about to leave.
The route of integration between the Qin State and the Xiongnu cannot be changed. This is a major event and a general direction, which will benefit future generations.
But for such a big event, does a woman's lifelong happiness have to be sacrificed? Ying Chengyu doesn't think so.
Those who achieve great things should also stick to small details.
Ying Chengyu stepped out of the Qionglu, feeling that the matter was successfully resolved, his heart dropped to the ground, and he let out a sigh of relief.
He was about to leave, but with his keen hearing, he heard a faint cry, coming from the Wusu Qionglu behind him!
He entered it again without thinking, and saw Wusu covering her mouth and crying hard.
"Yomei, why are you crying?"
The sound of "yaomei" made Wusu pour out all the words he didn't dare to say.
she cried and shouted.
"You keep saying that you are my brother. I thought you were very different from those Qin people. I was wrong! How can the temperament of a wolf in a pack be different!"
Ying Chengyu opened Wu Su's hand. Although he was confused, he still said seriously:
"Although I like to talk empty words, I know that no matter how much I say right now, I won't be able to win your trust. If you have any grievances, just tell me. I sincerely regard you as my sister and I will definitely solve it for you."
Wusu sobbed again and again.
"Then why do you want Wang Nian and I to separate? Are you so precious to him?"
"..."
Ying Chengyu felt as if his brain was shut down, and the first thing that came to his mind was Stockholm.
"...Well, do you like him?"
Wusu sobbed and nodded.
"Like it."
Ying Chengyu has a headache. This is a disease and it needs to be cured!
"This, you don't really like me, you were bullied by him, you know, you"
"Brother, I really like him."
The smart Wusu immediately realized that the problem lay in the cognitive differences between her and Ying Chengyu.
"The desert is different from you in the Central Plains. You can't use the etiquette of the Central Plains to ask me. I really want to marry Wang Twenty. If you are really good for me, don't stop me."
Ying Chengyu was silent for a while.
"Don't worry if you don't marry Wang Twenty, I won't care about you. Regardless of whether you marry or not, you are still my younger sister Ying Chengyu. No one dares to bully you."
The victim marries the perpetrator. In Ying Chengxuan's impression, only the third brother would be so abstract.
"Brother! That's not the case!"
Wusu was anxious to death.
"How can I tell you? Xiongnu and Qin are really different!
"When our Huns' father dies, the son who inherits his property must marry all his father's wives and concubines. But if the elder brother dies, the younger brother must marry all his brothers' wives and concubines as his own.
"This is absolutely not allowed in your Central Plains, right?
"Wang Twenty is a real warrior. I, Wu Su, want to marry a real warrior. Don't care whether Wang Twenty entered my Qionglu the day before yesterday.
"From the moment I knew he was a true warrior, I wanted to marry him."
"..."
Looking at Wu Su with expectant, eager and unreasonable eyes, Ying Chengyu felt that he needed to be alone to relax his mood.
He had always liked having fun, but after hearing Wu Su's words, he felt that he couldn't stand the fun anymore.
"I understand...you are waiting for the wedding."
"Um."
Wusu let out a long breath and nodded in agreement.
