Chapter 5 Deer Hunting (Part 8) That night, the people of Su Chuo tribe entertained Ashina Choyu and his entourage with the courtesy of welcoming distinguished guests. They held a party and had a great party. The bonfire was lit from the central tent to the banquet outside the camp.
Chufuli repeatedly asked Li Xu to return the war horse to the guest, but Ashina Choyu refused on the grounds that he was willing to admit defeat. While they were drinking heavily, Elder Etuo asked about the guest's purpose, and Ashina Choyu did not hide it.
State the mission of this trip one by one
It turned out that more than a dozen families of Suotou Xi tribe herdsmen fled to the Turkic royal court and cried to Qimin Khan about the pain of being exterminated by the Suchu tribe. Qimin Khan was "merciful" and did not want to see his people free themselves.
They were killing each other, so Ashina Choyu was specially sent to the east to understand the whole story of the war.
"Who knows the whole story of the war? They are obviously asking for benefits. If they want to mediate, what were the Turks busy with last winter?" Tao Kuotosi took advantage of the time of pouring the wine and leaned over and said in Li Xu's ear.
"The Turks are powerful, let's see how Elder Etuo responds first!" Li Xu responded in a low voice in Chinese that the two of them were very affectionate. After saying a few words, he moved the topic elsewhere. As for how Elder Etuo complained to the Turkic envoy about his arrest.
Nine out of ten sentences about Suotou Xi's suffering from tribal raids and plunder were not heard.
"If it weren't for Fu Li, Aslan and the others were so alert, it would be our Suchu tribe who would be crying out to the Great Khan this year!" Elder Etuo told the story with great emotion after the Suotou Xi tribe invaded the pastures and plundered cattle and sheep.
Killing shepherds and other crimes finally turned the topic to the cause of the war
"At that time, there were only six people attached to them. Suotou Xi actually sent twenty-eight scouts to hunt them down. In order not to leak the news, he could kill all the descendants of the White Swan in one fell swoop that night!" Elder Nami, the must-know minister!
Ye was adding fuel to the fire. Now, all the tribes of the Xi clan on the bank of Yueya Lake have joined forces and are gradually becoming one. They are helping the Su Chui tribe to deal with the current troubles. After the tribes are merged in the future, considering today's achievements, he is an elder who will naturally be indispensable.

"Yes, yes..." Several elders of the big tribes agreed one after another, telling vividly how six young men from the Shang tribe resisted twenty-eight well-trained scouts, and how they fought against each other for several times in the ice and snow.
At this time, it was finally ensured that the news was sent back to the tribe in time. Let’s talk about the heroic deeds of the tribes, how they rushed to fight, how they risked their lives to protect their old, weak, women and children, and defeated thousands of the opponent’s cavalry with more than a thousand herdsmen... Talking about the helplessness, a
in tears
"You mean, it was the scout leader who was attached to the enemy one hundred and fifty steps away and shot him?" Ashina Queyu asked in a low voice after listening carefully to every word the elders said.
The so-called understanding of the beginning and end of the war is just a formality. The Turkic royal court has always implemented a policy of restraining the tribes such as Lin, Xi, Khitan, Shiwei and so on. No matter who defeated whom, as long as the victor remained loyal to the Turks, they would not send a large army to conquer them.
The rise of the Suchu tribe is no longer something that happened in a day or two. What the Ashina family now needs to decide is whether to support Su Chuixir to replace the original leader of the Xi tribe, or to suppress Su Chuixir.
Continue to uphold the authority of Zhu Shiba. As for the cries of a few taunting people, just draw them a small piece of grassland that is enough for twenty families to make a living, and their ears will be clear.
"It was Fuli who disrupted the opponent's deployment by firing arrows. Xu Xian made a plan to lure the scouts to divide their troops. Then the six of them defeated the majority with a small number and killed half of the opponent's troops..." Brother Shetosha admired the two Han teenagers very much and challenged them.
Report to Ashina Choyu with thumbs up
"At that time, Fu Li had just started learning martial arts and couldn't even use a scimitar! If it weren't for the Holy Wolf protecting us..." Elder Miye added at the side
"Good arrow skills and good strategies. You have such a brave man in Su Chuo's tribe. No wonder Suo Tou Xi Ren lost!" After listening to Elder Sha Ge's story, Ashina Choyu slapped the table in admiration. Judging by his expression, he had completely stood up to Su Chuo.
On the Ministry's side, I no longer want to seek justice for Suotou Xibu.
"Thanks to the Great Khan, each of our young men in Su Chuo's tribe is getting stronger and stronger!" Su Chuo Fuli responded with a smile as he was determined to please the Turks.
"Why, is there anyone in your Su Chuan tribe who is better at shooting than Fu Li?" Ashina Choyu continued to ask.
The principle of respecting the strong is respected on the grassland. Hiding one's strength in front of Ashina Queyu at this time will only bring greater disaster to the Zhuxin Alliance. Chief Su Chuixil nodded, acquiescing to the guest's question and then called
He asked his younger brother Su Chu to attach himself to the campfire and ordered him to go to the open space not far from the bonfire and set up a row of torches.
After a while, Su Chuofuli came back and ordered the leader of the Xier tribe to get a bow and fifteen arrows. He stood up and asked the warriors drinking in front of another fire, "There are thirteen torches a hundred steps away. Is there someone there?"
Can you kill them all with fifteen arrows?"
"Why use fifteen arrows!" Without waiting for the other warriors to agree, Su Chuofuli rushed to stand next to his brother and responded, reaching out to grab the bow. He jumped on the horse and ran forward for more than ten steps, turning the horse's head sideways, "Whoosh!"
! Whoosh! Whoosh!" Several arrows were fired in succession. Each arrow must have a torch that was extinguished for a moment. Darkness fell in the distance, and the sound of horse hooves could be heard in the distance. Su Chuaffili jumped off the horse and took the remaining two arrows and the horn bow.
Hold it in front of my brother
"What a skill in riding and shooting, Queyu is willing to share a bowl with a strong man!" Ashina Queyu picked up the copper bowl in front of him and praised loudly that he had been drinking with Li Xu in the evening. He was already half drunk and his body was shaking.
He is swaying, but his words and deeds are bold and heroic.
"Su Chufuli respects our distinguished guest!" Fuli, the eldest brother of the Xier clan, held the copper bowl high in high spirits.
As soon as he finished speaking, someone beside another bonfire shouted, "Wait for me, let's drink together!" Following the shout, a strong man nearly nine feet tall stood up, who was the hero of the Shetuo tribe.
Gosanna saw him pull out a burning stick from the bonfire, mount his horse and in the blink of an eye, he lit up the thirteen torches that were extinguished, then rode his horse back, dropped the stick, bent his bow and nocked an arrow, and the men and horses
Wandering around quickly, he easily completed the same action as Su Chuiping.
"We should drink together, we should drink together!" Ashina Queyu was secretly surprised, but the smile on his face became thicker and thicker. A small tribal alliance with less than ten thousand people actually produced three sharp archers.
The true strength cannot be measured by the number of people. Suotou Xiren dared to take the initiative to provoke others on the pasture. It seems that he really deserves to die.
"Come on, come on, wait a minute, I will meet Hou Quli!" Another strong man jumped up from the fire and rode his horse to light the torch. In a blink of an eye, the torch went out again. Hou Quli dropped his horn bow and walked towards Ashi swayingly.
Naqueyu
Shooting out the dancing flames in the dark is far more difficult than hitting the target in broad daylight. The heaviest hero on the prairie watched three magical shots in succession. The atmosphere of the banquet was suddenly pushed to a climax. Ashina Queyu took the lead in cheering and raised his voice.
He picked up the wine bowl and drank with the strong man. Before his lips touched the edge of the bowl, he heard someone shouting, "Please, please wait a moment, Su Chuu Asilan hasn't performed yet!"
"Aslan! Aslan" Countless girls clapped and shouted Su Chu Aslan flew on his horse, assumed a cavalry assault posture, and ran through the dark night carrying a burning stick. Fire dragons rose and fell in the dark night.
Wow, more than ten stars in the distance were immediately lit up
"Those are thirteen torches!" Aslan turned his horse around and shouted to everyone with a hint of drunkenness. He took off the quiver from the saddle, counted out twelve feather arrows, and let everyone see clearly with the light of the fire, and then
All the rest of the feather arrows fell to the ground.
"Twelve arrows, he will use twelve arrows to shoot thirteen torches!" Several girls clapped their hands and shouted. While shouting, they looked enviously at Padai, who was sitting by the campfire to relax. Padai, Aslan's wife, responded with happiness.
smile, as if she has long been accustomed to her husband being admired by others.
Aslan turned the horse's head and shot the first arrow at the moment the war horse started. "Whoosh!" A torch in the distance went out in response, leaving only twelve torches shivering in the dark night.
"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" Aslan rushed in front of the war horse, turned sideways, ran sideways, walked diagonally for a few moments, and shot out the arrows one by one. No matter how the war horse moved, his movements never stopped.
This is already more than one person higher than everyone else. To shoot an arrow immediately, the movement of the person and the pace of the horse must be in perfect harmony. Ordinary people can shoot arrows. They would never dare to loosen the string when the horse changes direction. The cheers were suddenly suppressed, and everyone held their breath.
Breathe and watch the torches in the distance fall into the darkness one by one
"There are two more, there is an arrow in Aslan's hand!" A girl screamed worriedly
For a moment, everything was silent, except for the sound of horses' hooves, which was as fine as a drum, coming from near and far away. Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly stopped, and then, the farthest torch tilted sideways, extinguishing a few cold stars at the moment the torch was extinguished.
It shot out and hit the center of the other torch.
"Bang!" The last torch was shot to pieces by the hot arrow tip, a few sparks jumped up like meteors, and slowly disappeared into the darkness.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!" Several songs of autumn insects came from afar, a rhyme specially added to the falling meteor.
"Okay!" There was a roar of applause like a landslide, and the hosts, guests, and warriors of different nationalities slapped their hands desperately, giving the highest praise to the performers who came back on horseback without hesitation.
"Dry this bowl for such a wonderful shot!" Ashina Queyu loudly suggested and everyone responded in unison, raising the wine bowl and drinking it all in one gulp. Ashina Queyu poured himself another bowl of wine and raised it to
In front of Aslan, he said loudly: "Strong man, my subordinates shocked your wife today, I will apologize to you with this wine!"
"I don't dare, I don't dare. You are a distinguished guest of the Su Chuan Department. Besides, Pada, Pada wasn't hurt at all!" Aslan dared to dodge sideways and refused to accept the guest's apology.
"Your subordinates don't know that Pade is pregnant. Besides, hasn't the eagle been shot down by Fu Li?" Su Chufu Li smiled and smoothed things over for both parties. It is not easy to train a black eagle that can be used in marching combat.
, the foreigner Fuli shot someone's treasure to death, which has greatly offended the Turkic royal court. Now that they are no longer pursuing the case, Su Chubu should know that he is grateful. If he continues to think about the black eagle frightening Pade, he will be a little confused.
"In this case, even if we expose it, no one is allowed to remember it in the future!" Ashina Queyu smiled and said
"It's revealed, it's revealed, it's just a misunderstanding." Brother Shetsha rolled his eyes and agreed with a smile. The moment he raised the bowl, he saw Li Xu and Tao Kuo, who were in love with each other, out of the corner of his eye, and he couldn't help but
He let out a sigh, and a faint cloud appeared in the corner of his eyes.
"Is your wife about to give birth to a boy or a girl?" Ashina Choyu took a sip of wine and asked casually.
"It should be someone who can draw a bow and go into battle. Elder Etuo has specially shown it to me!" Asilan answered very happily. Lin Ren speculated that the fetus would be male or female.
When looking at the male and female fetuses, one can guess eight or nine out of ten. This child was conceived on the day when the holy wolf came. He will definitely receive some blessing from the holy wolf when he is born in the future.
"My wife is also pregnant, and she will probably give birth to a daughter for me!" Ashina Queyu said, somewhat drunkenly, holding Aslan's shoulder.
"Congratulations to Mr. Queyu!" The elders stood up together and raised their bowls to congratulate the guests.
Ashina Choyu moved the wine bowl in a symbolic circle, smiled, and refused to drink first but continued to say to Aslan: "If I give birth to a daughter, how about marrying your son?"
The wine bowl in Aslan's hand shook, and his drunkenness disappeared. He married a Turkic royal family. In the past hundred years, no family in the Xi tribe has been so blessed. He looked at the wisest elder Etuo in the tribe for help.
But he saw Elder Etuo's hands trembling and half a bowl of wine dripping down his brocade robe.
"Why, can't Queyu and you be good brothers?" Queyu asked pretending to be angry when Aslan didn't answer for a while.
"Of course, of course it's just, but A'silan is a little, a little..." A'silan searched hard for the right words. He was considered an upper-class figure in the Su Chuan tribe, but he was far less noble than the bloodline of Patriarch Xier.
Ashina Queyu is married, in the future...
Ashina Queyu is such an experienced person. After pondering for a while, he already knew the key to the problem. He patted Aslan on the shoulder and said with a smile: "My name is Queyu, and your name is Aslan. You are a hero. You will definitely be able to protect your son in the future."
Well, my daughter, my wife is a famous flower among the Turks, and the daughter she gives birth to will not disgrace your son. The marriage between our two families has nothing to do with the Ashina family and the Suchu tribe!"
"So, thank you brother Queyu for your love!" Aslan smiled and raised the wine bowl, hitting it heavily against the wine bowl in Queyu's hand.
"Do it!" Queyu shouted passionately, raised his neck, and drank down the kumiss in the bowl.
