Mu He was still wearing the pure black wolf-skin cloak, and his gray beard and hair were as clear as steel needles. Although he looked fat and bloated, he still had the chin of a swallow and the neck of a tiger, and his eyes were like copper bells.
He is even burlier than the Shuodi warriors on both sides, and looks like a black bear patrolling in the mountains. He must have been famous as a fierce general when he was young, and he walked with a high and mighty stride.
Bo Lewu is the second largest surname in the Muyun tribe after Bakwuqin. The core of its power is located in a small sea called Caobo in the southwest of Yanluo Plain. More than a hundred years ago, Tianhe Hanxumu
After Yan Yi unified the grassland, the two families intermarried several times. Calculating this, Tuya and the old man may still have some blood relationship.
Because of this, even though she knew in her heart that the other party was here to disrupt the situation, Tuya could not ignore Mu He's question in front of everyone, so she had to signal Wu Zhu Shelikan to suspend the ceremony, took Jiang Yan's hand and took a few steps forward.
Asked loudly:
"Unknown Uncle Muhe is here today, please bear with me. It's just that today I am getting married to Ye Guo Beizi. I had already sent a fast horse to deliver the invitation to Caobo ten days ago. Tuya also specifically told me that he must send it to Caobo.
Hand it to you. I don’t know why it still caused today’s blame, saying that no one asked for your opinion?”
Tuya's words were neither condescending nor arrogant, and she immediately clarified to everyone present that she had not deliberately snubbed the Bleu family. But she was a girl after all, and facing an old and cunning opponent, she still couldn't help but feel a little scared.
The hand holding Jiang Yan also trembled slightly.
"By saying this, the princess is accusing the old minister of lying?"
Muhe was obviously well prepared, stroking his beard with his stubby fingers and answering questions. It seemed that he did not pay attention to the girl opposite him at all. In his opinion, the Bakwuqin family was already in ruins, and those who followed Xu
There is no need to conscientiously abide by the etiquette between emperors and ministers that was established during Mu Yanhan's time. Before, he was just pretending to be in front of Qina due to the relationship with Tie Zhongshan. Now that the young Hehan is dead, he is even
All this effort can be saved.
But he completely did not expect that the seemingly weak princess in front of him did not lose his composure, nor did his face show the slightest bit of cowardice. Instead, she took advantage of every move and argued with reason:
"Please don't think too much about it. Even if the invitation has not been delivered, you have come here after hearing the news. Why not wait until after the wedding to investigate further? If it is true that the messenger failed in his duty, I guarantee that I will give you the same message as all the Bleu family members."
Give the person a satisfactory explanation.”
After all, Mu He came prepared. After hearing this, he did not pause for a moment, and sneered again, but the contempt and teasing on his face were wiped away:
"What do you mean, wait until after the wedding? There is no way the Buluo family will agree to your marriage to this southern boy!"
"Jiang Yan is the Beizi whom I invited back from Ye State all the way under the orders of my predecessor Dahehan. The marriage between the two of us was already decided when brother Qinna was in power. You
The Boulu family did not raise any objection at that time, so why did they suddenly change their minds now?"
"The princess has thought carefully. Now that Dahehan has passed away, she should marry this southern boy as soon as possible so that the Bakwuqin family will have a successor. At least, it would be great to be able to temporarily hold Dahehan's position in her own hands.
It’s a deal, isn’t it?”
"How can you spray blood with blood! Now the Muyun tribe is leaderless and surrounded by powerful enemies. If we don't work together internally, I am afraid that even the last homeland of Yanluoyuan may not be preserved. How can it be said that it is for one's own benefit?
profit!"
Tuya was finally forced to panic by the other party and couldn't help but raise her tone. She knew that Mu He who was standing in front of her now had all his claws exposed, and she also knew that the other party's words had great weight in the Muyun Department. If he clearly disagreed with this matter
As for marriage, even if I could force the marriage now, I would lose the hearts of the people.
However, the girl's retaliation failed to scare Mu He away, but made him even more arrogant:
"What a leaderless group of dragons! Since our Muyun Department is a group of real dragons, why do we have to follow the wild dog named Bakwuqin? The princess moved out of Qinnahehan several times to suppress me. Have you told the leaders of the department?
For such a small family, their predecessor He Han actually died at the hands of the southerner who was about to become their benefactor?!"
The things that Tuya tried so hard to downplay these days were suddenly exposed to the sun on the spot. The girl felt a tightness in her chest, but it was hard to break out. Because she knew in her heart that even if no one in the clan
He dared to discuss the rights and wrongs of Jiang Yan face to face, but there were always people who were quite concerned about the beheading of Jiang Qina.
However, there were so many things that needed to be explained that it was difficult to figure out where to start. A sentence stuck in his throat and he could not say it out. But the other party seized this opportunity and continued to attack crazily:
"Jiangyan and Tuya acted recklessly and conspired to assassinate their predecessor Dahehan, causing harm to the Muyun tribe and to the Yanluo Plain that the grassland people have cherished for generations! Today, I, the Bolewu family, are going to eliminate the traitor for Muyun! Come on,
Get these two people off the stage!"
This time, Muhe had no intention of giving this yellow-haired girl any chance to explain, and was about to take action in full view of everyone. At that moment, several tall Shuodi warriors rushed onto the stage and surrounded the newlyweds.
Xiao Tianmo did not have Jiang Yan with him at the moment, so he had to spread his arms to stop the girl behind him. Only then did he realize that what Tuya said to him three days ago was not exaggerated in the slightest. This person named
Mu He's old man is really the biggest hidden danger of Muyun Department!
"Let me see which of you dares to touch the princess!"
Suddenly, an old but tough voice suddenly burst out, and then Yuan Ti, who was wearing white iron armor, led more than a hundred cavalrymen to appear at the sea of flowers. In the blink of an eye, he had already galloped to the foot of the high platform. The soldiers captured him.
Holding a spear, the white deer flag tied to the tip of the spear fluttered in the wind, and the saber had already been unsheathed, immediately frightening away the warriors sent by Mu He to fetch people on the stage.
"Why, it doesn't make sense in theory. Are you planning to take action now? Do you really think that the members of the Bolewu family will be afraid of Tiechong Mountain?!"
A trace of murderous intent flashed across Mu He's eyes, and he suddenly raised his clenched fisted left hand above his head. No one expected that among the more than a thousand tribesmen closest to the high platform, more than half of them were armored warriors who had already been deployed to lurk. The warriors
Wearing ordinary cloth over their armor, they all tore off their coats one after another, and were about to confront the charging Tie Zhongshan with their weapons. A tense and bloody battle seemed inevitable!
Seeing this situation, Tuya, who was standing on the high platform, could only shout with all her strength:
"Stop it, I have something to say!"
"What? Did the princess change her mind and not get married?"
The corners of Mu He's mouth curled up unnoticeably. In fact, he didn't want to do anything too extreme. If he could make the other party surrender without a single blow, why not do it?
However, what Tuya said next was not about surrendering:
"I want to say that Brother Qinna and Jiang Yan agreed to a duel in Durel a few days ago. He died after being defeated. This should be regarded as a scandal that cannot be publicized in our Bakwuqin family. Since Xu Muyanhan
Since then, the Muyun tribe has never killed each other again, but now some people blame Jiang Yan for all this, and want to use this to build a large-scale military force. This move is no different from rebellion!"
"There is no basis for what you say! Does the princess think that she can use it to exonerate this southern brat by just citing a reason for killing someone?"
"I can testify! It was indeed Qinahehan who responded to the durel proposed by his concubine that day, and broke the rules and injured people with a concealed weapon during the competition, which is why he finally lost his life!"
As Mu He asked sharply, a muscular man suddenly stepped forward from the crowd. The man was naked and covered with intricate tattoos. He was Qina's personal bodyguard.
Wute, a warrior known as the Blue and White Beast. Wute's grandmother was from Yimube and was already extremely dissatisfied with Qinna's attack on Yimube. At this time, he suddenly appeared as a witness, catching Muhe off guard.
"Don't listen to him, Dahehan's personal bodyguard has already been bribed!"
"Great God Pangu, if Wu Te tells a lie today, I will not be able to enter the Immortal Heaven after my death!"
Facing Mu He's accusation, the warrior who stepped forward did not flinch. As he spoke, he walked through the crowd and stood tall under the white deer flag held high by the Tiezhong Mountain team.
"Don't listen to their nonsense, take action immediately and capture them all before we talk!"
Mu He immediately became angry from embarrassment, waved his fisted hand forward, and ordered loudly. However, he never thought that many of the warriors around him looked suspicious, and some even put down their weapons directly. After all, Changsheng
The sky is the destination that grassland people value most. The oath based on it, even in the entire Shuobei, not many people would dare to question it easily.
"Okay! You would rather believe their lies than even listen to my orders, right? Don't forget that the princess is marrying a southerner now! When will the man under my Cang Lang banner be married?
Kneel down and surrender to these damn southerners? This has never happened before, and it will never happen in the future!"
Mu He continued to rebuke angrily, but he knew in his heart that the situation had already changed. The more he continued to deal with it, the more disadvantageous it would be to him. He had no choice but to say a few harsh words and lead his subordinates who were still hesitant.
The warriors turned and left without even looking back.
Until this moment, Tuya finally breathed a sigh of relief. Because of the extreme tension and anger, her always tight legs could no longer stand firm. She supported Jiang Yan's body and knelt down on the high platform, all over her body.
Trembling constantly.
Yuan Ti rushed to the girl in three steps and caressed her back with concern:
"Old minister, I was almost late. Please forgive me, princess."
"Old General, you have arrived just in time. I saw that you have been absent from your position before, and I felt a little strange. It turns out that you have transferred troops."
Tuya tried hard to control her somewhat stiff face and forced a smile on her face.
"Muhe actually came today, which surprised the old minister. Seeing his eyes twinkling and his expression ferocious, he guessed that nothing good was going to happen. Thanks to King Tieqin, these iron mountains left by King Tieqin were only loyal to the Bakwuqin family. Now,
They are already one of the few forces we can rely on."
Yuan Ti said, still looking at the wolf flag that was gradually moving away from the crowd with lingering fear. No one could have imagined that Mu He would bring so many warriors today. If the two sides really started to fight,
Just having more than a hundred people riding heavy mountains is really a drop in the bucket, and the situation will definitely become out of control.
"Although there are only a few, the people who are still willing to stay here and stay by my side can be relied on and trusted. It can be regarded as a blessing in disguise."
Tuya stood up with the support of the old man and Jiang Yan, and glanced at the waiting people under the high platform. Her eyes were filled with tears, but she smiled with joy:
"The Muyun tribe has been weak for a long time. The reason why brother Qinna was arrogant and domineering before was partly due to the Bolewu family! Now Muhe's move has given the tribe the strength to stay with me.
Reason. The hearts of Muyun’s hundreds of thousands of children are still intact! Pass on my words and slaughter more cattle and sheep, and bring more salha! Today’s wedding ceremony will still go on!”
There was an expression of surprise on Yuan Ti's face. He didn't expect that this girl, whom he had watched grow up since he was a child, seemed to have changed overnight, and she said these words as bold as a man's.
.
The sun in the sky was still shining with golden light. Under the gaze of tens of thousands of Muyun tribesmen, Jiangyan and Tuya successfully completed the entire process of the ceremony and drank each other's cups. Then Wu Zhu Shelikan smeared the cow's blood on the two
On a person's forehead and lips, it is announced that they are officially married.
However, at this moment, the black-eyed boy had mixed feelings in his heart. He didn't know if he could breathe a sigh of relief that he had finally taken this step. He only knew that from this moment on, he would never be able to look back.
His past in Ye Kingdom will become a past that can only be kept in his memory, secretly taken out in the dead of night and talked about for comfort.
But he soon noticed Tuya's solemn expression beside him, which was completely different from the shy look at the ceremony. He walked to the girl's side and looked at her increasingly tense face:
"You got what you wanted - but are you still unhappy?"
Tuya nodded slightly:
"Although I have known for a long time that the day when Bakwuqin and Bo Lewu will confront each other will eventually come, but I did not expect that it will come so quickly - the next time I see Canglangqi, it will most likely be Mu
The beginning of Yunbu's return to war."
"How many people do Mu He have under his command?"
"The Bolewu family controls nearly 40% of the population of the Muyun tribe. They occupy the most fertile pastures around Caobo, and they also have contacts with the Onma tribe in the west and the Choluo tribe in the south. From now on, the time left to us will
It will only become less and less——”
Tuya pondered, but turned her head and looked back at the young man's eyes with the same dark eyes, "Although you shouldn't ask this, I still hope, Jiang Yan, that the person standing in front of you now is not
What kind of princess? I am my wife who needs you more than ever. You——won’t abandon me, right?"
The hair on the girl's face shone golden in the sun, and she suddenly felt breathtakingly beautiful.
"Since I have promised you, I will fight with you until the end!"
Jiang Yan squeezed out an ugly smile on his face that he would only show in front of Ning Yue. He didn't know why he reacted like this, but at this moment, he felt from the bottom of his heart towards this girl who didn't like him very much. , gave birth to an indescribable feeling. It was not an ordinary love between a man and a woman, but a feeling of sympathy for each other and sharing weal and woe.
Unknowingly, the hands of the newlyweds held each other tightly. After all, there is still a long way to go for them who want to survive on this grassland. And the future arranged for them by fate , is destined to be filled with blood and fire, the test of life and death.
