Chapter 360 [The old friend who can't finish talking about the wine in the inexhaustible bag]
The weather in the grassland is difficult to predict. It may be sunny and beautiful in the morning, but in the afternoon, there will be drizzle, followed by violent storms and rain, and the sky will be dark. People who are not from the grassland not only do not understand the moodiness of this kind of weather, but also are more concerned about it.
This weather seems to be angry with God and makes me feel a little panicked.
As the owners of the grassland, the Barhut tribe had a premonition of the coming of a violent storm from the hazy sky at noon. This is not a bad thing for them. After the baptism of heavy rain, the air in the grassland will be calmer.
, the grass will grow faster, and most importantly, they can receive a lot of clean rainwater. Whether they are people, cattle, sheep, or horses, they can drink the sweet rainwater for several days, and even women can take a good bath.
A rain shower.
Xue Poye saw herdsmen driving their cattle and sheep into the pasture fence one after another. Many herdsmen even reinforced their tents. He didn't understand the key for a while. Several warriors behind him were like mutes and didn't speak. They followed him on the grassland.
Wandering up and down.
Xue Poye was determined to deal with these guys. After Xiao Shitou was called away by Xiang Ziye, he wandered around, going further and further away, ignoring the few warriors. The few warriors could only follow Xue Poye, and gradually came to
To the north of the Barhut tribe, there are fewer and fewer camps and fewer people. Some scattered herdsmen are driving their cattle and sheep to the large pastures.
Several warriors saw that a heavy rain was coming, but their distinguished guests were doing nothing and walking further and further away from the camp. They could no longer bear it. One warrior finally said in blunt Chu language: "Guest... guest... rain...
…Heavy rain…go back…!”
Xue Poye saw that he had reached an open grassland, several miles away from the center of the camp. He looked at the sky, and it turned out to be gloomy. There were even thin wisps of rain falling. He stopped and looked around, but
Seeing a lonely tent next to it, I couldn't help but ask: "Why is there a tent here?"
The warrior explained: "This is the eagle tent of the grassland. These kinds of eagle tents are set up in remote places. They also remind guests who are not familiar with the grassland that there are tribal tents nearby."
"There is another saying." Xue Poye touched his nose and smiled: "I have learned a lot."
There was a sudden "click" and a loud thunder. In the blink of an eye, huge raindrops fell from the sky in dense numbers, and the grassland was instantly filled with torrential rain.
Xue Poye really didn't expect the rain to come at such an instant. The big raindrops hit his head, which was really uncomfortable. The surroundings were empty, and only the "Eagle Tent" could shelter him from the rain. He quickly ran into the Eagle Tent.
among.
Several warriors had no choice but to follow him into the eagle tent.
The tent was very simple, with nothing else except a pile of hay that could still be slept in. It was empty inside, as if no one had entered it for a long time, and green grass actually grew on the ground.
There were thunders and heavy rains. Xue Poye stood at the tent door and looked at the gray grassland in the heavy rain. He felt quite ethereal at this time.
"Why are the clouds floating and why are the heavy rains pouring?" Xue Poye murmured to himself: "Why was I born? Why did I travel? Is it that I am always moving forward step by step amid intrigues? I can see the clouds in the sky, but
You can't catch it. In this world, don't expect anything to be mine. I may always be just a passerby."
He muttered, but the warriors behind him didn't hear what he said clearly. It was raining heavily outside, and Xue Poye was under their noses again. The warriors didn't have to worry too much about Xue Poye's sudden departure and sat on the grass.
He took off his wineskin and drank.
The Beihu people have a habit. Regardless of their superiority or inferiority, they almost always have a wine bag on their body. Whenever they have free time, they take it out and take a few sips. The Beihu people are indeed a very good wine nation, but they have a bad understanding of the way of wine.
Research, compared to the great Chu, is really a world of difference.
Xue Poye stretched out his hand and let the rain drip on his palm, feeling indescribably comfortable.
Just when the heavy rain was getting heavier, there was suddenly a sound of horse hoofs in the gray heavy rain. Listening to the sound of horse hoofs, it seemed that there were four or five people riding on them. Xue Poye couldn't help but frown. He could clearly hear the sound of horse hoofs.
Just coming towards the Eagle Tent.
However, these horses obviously did not come from Barhut Camp. Barhut Camp was in the south, but these horses came from the north.
Vaguely, I saw several voices gradually appearing in the heavy rain. Those voices were getting closer and closer. Although the appearance of the person in front was quite blurry, he was tall and strong. Xue Poye was very familiar with it, and his mind turned slightly.
, but this time it was extremely clear that the man looked very much like his good brother Ulachi.
Xue Poye suddenly became excited. After too many intrigues and deceptions, he was used to fighting with each other in both shopping malls and official circles. He still cherished the sincere and congenial feelings between himself and Ulachi.
As the people and horses approached, the tall Beihu man, wearing gray fur clothes and a silver hoop on his head, pointed to the Eagle Tent and shouted something, as if he was ordering the people behind him to take shelter from the rain in the Eagle Tent.
, in the misty heavy rain, he had not yet seen Xue Poye standing in front of the tent.
Listening to his bold and powerful voice, Xue Poye was even more sure that this was his good friend Wu Lachi. He could no longer hold back and did not bother to hide his identity, so he shouted loudly: "Brother Wu, is it Brother Wu?"
The hearing of the man with the silver hoop turned out to be extremely sharp. He actually heard the cry clearly in the thunderstorm. His face that was already covered with rain suddenly became extremely surprised. He looked around and found no one.
Xue Poye shouted loudly: "My good friend, is this my good friend Xue Poye? My good friend, is it you who is calling Ulachi?"
He stopped his horse and looked around in the heavy wind and rain. He suddenly saw Xue Poye standing in the rain. He was stunned for a moment, then with a face full of surprise, he flew off the horse and shouted: "Good friend, it's me, I'm
Wu Lachi, I am Wu Lachi, haha...!" He opened his arms and walked towards Xue Poye. The cavalry behind him were all surprised. They didn't know why the usually serious Wu Lachi was acting like this at this time.
Emotional.
Xue Poye was also very happy. One of the most important reasons for coming to Beihu this time was to meet this good brother and fulfill the brotherhood.
On the grassland in the heavy rain, Xue Poye and Wu Lachi hugged each other at the same time. Both of them were indescribably happy. They just hugged each other tightly and let the wind blow and the rain beat.
"Good friend, my brother...!" Wu Lachi was obviously deeply moved, patting Xue Poye on the back: "You and I finally meet again, Chang Shengtian treats me well!"
"Brother Wu!" Xue Poye's voice was slightly choked with excitement: "God has mercy on you and I finally meet each other, haha... It's great, it's great...!"
Letting go of his hand, Wu Lachi patted Xue Poye's shoulder heavily and laughed and said: "Good brother, after we parted, I have been thinking about you, haha... Sons, come here quickly, this is my friend,
My best brother, you all come and see."
Although Xue Poye was in disguise, Wu Lachi was very familiar with Xue Poye and was not surprised. However, several cavalrymen who came with Wu Lachi were very surprised as to how this ugly guy could be Wu Lachi.
Good friends and brothers?
The warriors in the tent also came out. When they saw Ulachi, they all saluted and spoke nonsense that Xue Poye couldn't understand. They all looked extremely humble. When they saw Ulachi, their faces were full of joy and they tightened their arms.
Holding Xue Poye's hand, the warriors looked at each other, not knowing the mystery behind it.
Wu Lachi took Xue Poye's hand and entered the eagle tent while laughing loudly. All his warriors also tied up their horses and went into the tent to take shelter from the rain.
"Good friend, why do you look like this?" Wu Lachi took Xue Poye's hand and sat down, smiling: "You are the most beautiful man in the Central Plains, haha... Come on, this is a fierce fire, drink!
"
Xue Poye took the wine bag, took a big gulp of it without hesitation, handed it back to Wu Lachi, and laughed loudly: "Brother Wu, this fierce fire can't stop me now, I don't drink like before.
Just take two bites and pour."
Wu Lachiyang took a big sip and said with a smile: "You are a friend of the Beihu people. With the bravery and boldness of the Beihu people, this wine will not be difficult for you." He waved and said: "Take all your wine bags.
Take it here, I want to get drunk with my good brother."
The Beihu warriors took off their wine bags one after another and placed them in front of Wu Lachi and Xue Poye. Then they dispersed and leaned against the tent, not daring to come and disturb them.
Xue Poye looked at the dozen wine bags in front of him and was startled. Could it be that he was drinking the strong wine as plain water?
"Come!" Wu Lachi opened a wine bag and handed it to Xue Poye: "Good brother, we can see each other again. Wu Lachi is very happy, very happy, very happy. It is raining heavily outside. That is the instructions from the Changsheng Heaven to you and me here.
When we meet, the enthusiasm of the prairie people is put in the wine."
Xue Poye was happy in his heart. Although he was a little confused after seeing so many wine bags, seeing that Ula Chihao was so angry that he couldn't care about anything else. He took the wine bag and said loudly: "Okay, Brother Wu, there is a saying in Zhongyuan,
A thousand glasses of wine are too few to drink with a close friend. You and I are the best of confidants, and a thousand glasses of wine are too few. Let alone these glasses of wine, Xue Poye will sacrifice his life today to accompany the gentleman."
Wu Lachi laughed and was very happy. Each of them carried a wine bag and drank from the opposite side.
"Good friend, I have met many people in the Central Plains, but you are the only person that I respect." Wu Lachi sighed with emotion: "You value love and justice, you don't mind that I am a barbarian, and you treat me as a brother."
As a friend, Wulachi is grateful to you. This time you came to the grassland to see me again, which shows that you are a good man who values love and justice, even better than us grassland people. Wulachi respects you!"
Xue Poye waved his hand and said: "What did Brother Wu say? We are all brothers in the four seas. Brother Wu looked up to me and trusted me. That was my blessing."
The two drank heavily and recalled every detail of their time in Hangzhou. When they talked about "Flowers and Butterflies", they looked at each other and laughed.
I don't know how long it took, but the two of them had drank three bags of wine each. Not only did Xue Poye feel dizzy, but also Wu Lachi, blushing and having a thick neck.
'Wu...Brother Wu...thank you...thank you...your horse...I...I won't feel at ease if I don't thank you personally...!" Xue Poye said drunkenly.
Wu Lachi patted Xue Poye on the shoulder: "Good... good brother... don't say this... these words... you and I... you and I are brothers... brothers... we can't say this... we can't say it...
!”
The two of them were talking to each other, and at first they could still make out what they were saying, but later on, both of them were slurring their words and no longer knew what the other was saying. Amidst the sound of wind and rain, the two of them were actually standing in this eagle tent.
fell into a deep sleep.
…
The wind and rain subsided, and when he opened his eyes, Xue Poye was already in his tent, and Xiao Shitou was sitting aside, studying the fan captured from Thirteenth Su's hand very carefully.
Xue Poye sat up and felt dizzy. The drunkenness had not subsided yet.
"Master, you're awake!" Xiao Shitou hurriedly brought a bowl of soup from the table: "This is the ginger soup sent by Sumayu. It's already cold. You can drink some to sober up."
Xue Poye took it and took a few sips before saying, "Who sent me back?"
"Those warriors from Barhut's department." Xiao Shitou blinked, put the bowl back on the table, and asked: "Master, you drank a lot of wine? When you came back, you smelled of alcohol all over your body.
You also vomited all over yourself. If Sister Sumayu hadn’t helped you take a bath and change your clothes, I would have been smoked to death, ugh...!"
Xue Poye broke into a cold sweat and sat up suddenly: "You... what did you say? Who... who gave me a bath, who... who changed my clothes?" He opened the quilt and saw that he was fully clothed.
The authentic Beihu costume and the oil and linen clothes have long disappeared.
"Sister Sumayu." Xiao Shitou said with a smile.
Xue Poye couldn't help but cover the baby bump on his lower body, his old face turned slightly red: "No."
Xiao Shitou chuckled and said: "Master, don't worry, Sister Sumayu didn't see the most important part of you. I washed that place. Sister Sumayu just scrubbed your body and washed your feet. I gave you the underwear."
The coat I changed into was changed by Sister Sumayu."
"Oh!" Xue Poye touched his nose and was a little disappointed. If Sumayu really changed his clothes, it would be very exciting. Suddenly he thought of his makeup and touched it. It was still the same, still ugly
face.
Thinking about it carefully, I was really shocked. If my face with make-up was restored, Sumayu might be so angry that he could drop his treasure when he saw it.
"What about brother Wula Chiwu?" Xue Poye asked.
"Brother Wu?" Little Shitou asked curiously: "What brother Wu?"
Xue Poye sighed and said: "He is a tall Beihu man with a silver hoop on his head."
Xiao Shitou shook his head and said: "The Beihu people did see it. Two tall Beihu people carried you back, but they didn't see the round hoops on their heads." He whispered: "Master, those Beihu warriors guarding outside
They were all removed, not a single one was left.”
Xue Poye stood up. Although his head still hurt a little, after drinking a bowl of ginger soup, he became more awake. He looked outside and saw that it was already dark. Although the Barhut camp was very lively, the people in front of the door were still very busy.
Several warriors were missing.
"It seems that Brother Wu asked them to leave." Xue Poye said to himself, and suddenly realized a problem. When he saw Ulachi at that time, the Barhut warriors were all respectful to Ulachi. It seems that
, Ulachi is still a quite powerful figure in the Barhut tribe, but I don’t know if he is a prince of Beihu.
"Master." Xiao Shitou came closer and whispered: "Xiang Yezi came to me again later. It seems that someone was really telling her a story."
Xue Poye immediately became cautious, pulled Xiao Shitou to sit down, and whispered: "How do you say this? Do you see any problem?"
Xiao Shitou nodded and said: "Xiang Ziye said that those uncles from Dachu told her that there are no dogs with three tails and four ears in the Central Plains, and they said that I was lying to her. I said those uncles from Dachu were talking nonsense, maybe those Dachu
The uncles are not from the Central Plains. They are talking nonsense. Xiangye said no. She said those were all Da Chu people, otherwise they would not have been arrested. Master, you heard that those Da Chu uncles were arrested.
of."
Xue Poye frowned in thought, nodded slowly and said: "It seems that those great uncles of Chu mentioned by Xiang Ziye are probably the spies who were arrested at Yanmen Pass."
Xiao Shitou continued: "I asked her to take me to confront those Da Chu uncles. She was very embarrassed and said that the place where Da Chu uncles were imprisoned was very strict and I couldn't get in. I asked her why she could
Going in, she said that she always excused herself to give them food, but she is the granddaughter of the clan leader, so most people would not stop her."
"Xiao Shitou, you...you really make the master admire you." Xue Poye touched Xiao Shitou's little head: "You are so good at using this beauty trick. A girl as cute as Xiang Yezi was coaxed into turning around by you.
"
Xiao Shitou sighed and said: "Master, if it weren't for rescuing those spies, I...I didn't want to deceive Xiangye Ye. Xiangye Ye is a very nice person, very innocent, and doesn't have any thoughts. I...I lied to her,
My heart... I'm panicking...!"
Xue Poye patted his shoulder gently.
The lights flickered, and after a long time, Xue Poye said softly: "Those who were imprisoned seem to be almost spies. Xiao Shitou, if you have a chance, you can find out the specific location where those spies were imprisoned... Well...
, this is a bit difficult... If it really doesn't work, I... I'll explore slowly."
Xiao Shitou said softly: "Master, actually I also understand that the two of us here are outsiders in their eyes. They will always be wary of us. If it weren't for Xiang Ye, I'm afraid we wouldn't get any useful information. Even if you want to
Inquiry, but these are all their people, how to investigate? If they find you sneaking around... Master, don't blame me for using this word... If they find out you are sneaking around to find out information, it will be even worse for us. Still.
I slowly asked about it from the fragrant leaves."
At this moment, I heard a voice outside the tent saying respectfully: "Guest from afar, Commander Yingtu has invited you to a banquet!"
"Going to the banquet? Marshal Yingtu?" Xue Poye's expression tightened and he couldn't help but touch the cold blade on his waist.
"Commander Yingtu is hosting a banquet in the golden tent to entertain guests from far away. Please come with me, distinguished guests." The voice outside was still extremely respectful.
Xue Poye and Xiao Shitou looked at each other, and they didn't expect that Commander Yingtu had rushed back from the royal court. Although it might be beneficial to the assassination, it would be more difficult to rescue the spies.
Xue Poye put his hands behind his back, came outside the tent, and asked: "Is Commander Yingtu back?"
The man responded: "Yes, please come with me to the banquet."
It’s a blessing, not a curse, but you can’t avoid it. Now that you’re here, you will eventually meet the Eagle Commander of the Prairie Eagle. Xue Poye nodded and said, “Okay, please lead the way!” He led Xiao Shitou and followed him.
Behind that person, go to the banquet.
As the saying goes, there is no such thing as a good banquet. Is this the Hongmen Banquet? dd
