A gust of south wind whistled by, and the large bamboo leaf standing on the grassland rustled.
Taiji from the Wu Le tribe, and Asir, the proton of Noyan who was sent to Shengguo, used their hands that were not white but not rough to rein in the horse's reins.
When Asier was eight years old, he was sent to the capital of the Sheng Kingdom and became a hostage. He thought that he would never have the chance to return to the grassland in his life. He thought that he would gradually forget about his hometown.
everything……
But as he glanced at Wu Le's large scroll embroidered with cloud patterns, all the dust-laden memories resurfaced like weeds growing wildly, and he also felt an indescribable sense of excitement that he would be able to stay in the clouds for a long time.
Above the paper.
"Young master." A group of cavalry came from the opposite side of Asier, galloping like flying, and finally stopped in front of the dusty Asier. The middle-aged man leading it was wearing a cloak embroidered with clouds and a snow-white cap.
wearing a felt hat, he respectfully called young Asir.
Asier looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and felt that he was very friendly and familiar. However, after so many years, he did not dare to recognize him: "Are you...Uncle Xingge?"
Brother Xing's name may not necessarily have these two Chinese characters, and his seniority is indeed worthy of Asier's uncle, but this is how his name is pronounced.
Brother Xing was startled, obviously he did not expect that Asier could recognize him, but this result made him overjoyed. He nodded, his tone was kind but respectful and joyful: "Yes, it was me that year.
Responsible for escorting you to the capital of Sheng Kingdom."
Xingge is one of the strongest warriors of the Ule tribe. Because of his superb riding and archery skills and unshakable loyalty, he was appointed by Noyan of the Ule tribe as his guard captain and given a white cloud cloak. He was responsible for escorting Asi back then.
The person who arrived safely in the capital was also Brother Xing.
In fact, it is reasonable for Asier to recognize the captain of the guard. After all, as an adult, Brother Xing has increased his age by fourteen years, but his appearance has not changed much. At best, it is only on the skin.
Many years have gone by. On the contrary, it is Asir - he was only eight years old when he left the Ule tribe, and his figure was relatively thin. But in the past few years, not only has he grown fat and strong, but his temperament has also changed.
He has made a big change. If he replaces his current Hu tribe attire with a Shengguo cloth robe and a crown, he will be said to be a Shengguo person.
While leading Asier's "returning regiment" to integrate into his own cavalry guard, Brother Xing chatted: "You have to pay attention to the beginning and end of things. I was the one who sent you to Shengguo, and I should have been the one to pick you back up."
, but unfortunately Lord Noyan personally fought against the Gaole tribe on the battlefield of Yinma River a few days ago, and I was unable to do anything else."
Although the Hu tribe language rarely has the concept of "idioms", the Wule tribe is the tribe with the largest area bordering the Sheng Kingdom.
Let’s talk about a similar concept.
Azir nodded, but his eyebrows were still knitted together: "My father sent a message saying that he is ill...is it related to the war?"
Speaking of this, Brother Xing suddenly became gloomy and said in a sad tone: "It seems that it was our guard's dereliction of duty. We failed to protect Lord Noyan, which resulted in him being shot in the thigh by an arrow. He is still recovering to this day.
.”
Some people may be confused about this. Wei Kui was stabbed in the stomach and only rested for ten days. His skin injuries were bandaged and he drank heavily on the same day. Why was Nuoyan from the Hu Department just shot by an arrow?
How many months does it take to recuperate from mid-thigh?
First of all, this thing has to do with the difference in personal physique. Wei Kui's physique is already extremely strong, and his self-healing ability is far beyond ordinary people, not to mention that he is already proficient in all kinds of external skills, and considering his age, his physical fitness is still at a low level.
During the peak period, the sum of these many factors is of course like copper cast iron; and Wu Lenuoyan is already old, sixty years old is already considered a long life, the glory is long gone, and it is not surprising that he has been recuperating for several months.
Already.
In fact, if timely treatment is not provided, even an arrow shot in the butt may easily kill someone.
Although his father is still bedridden, Asier breathed a sigh of relief after learning that at least his life was safe, and his mood was not so low. He also enlightened Brother Xing, who took all the responsibility on himself.
Now that we have seen the banner symbolizing the Ule tribe, it means that we are not far from the golden tent of Ule. Although he has been away from Ule for many years, Asier is not surprised by this unfamiliar scenery - Hu tribe
The lifestyle is similar to that of the Haebi. They are both nomadic and hunting peoples. According to the season and climate, they usually migrate in the spring and autumn of the year in search of a more livable geographical location. Of course Asir will not forget it.
The tradition of nomadic people is not surprising.
If you look down at the location of Wule's Golden Tent from the sky, you can see hundreds of Hu tent camps surrounding Noyan's Golden Tent in the center, and spreading outward are groups of pastures and pastures.
, spreading from the plains to the low mountains, and from the ridges across the river, like a snow-white muntjac deer lying on the fertile soil of this grassland.
Nuoyan's golden tent was the most massive and conspicuous one, at least five times the size of an ordinary tent. After seeing the royal flag on the top of the golden tent, the group dismounted their horses and unsaddled their saddles, approaching on foot.
It’s not that the Hu people have anything special to say about this, it’s just that they don’t want the busy sound of horse hooves to disturb Nuo Yan’s rest, and they use walking to prove that they are not hostile - after all, only enemies will rush towards them on fast horses.
tent.
"Do you think...that could be Asier?" Hearing the roar of people outside the tent, two men with noble clothes and extraordinary martial prowess opened the golden tent and walked out. When they saw Brother Xing carrying two or three more
After the team with twice the number of people returned, the older ones asked the younger ones.
The young man did not respond immediately, but after a moment of silence he said meaningfully: "Aren't you even willing to call me brother?" After that, he strode forward to greet his brother without waiting for his reply.
These two are Asir's two half-brothers, Delhei and Ta Lai, who correspond to Asir, who represents the "sky". The meanings of their names are "Earth" and "Ocean" respectively.
”.
The three brothers of sea, land and air were not born from the same mother, so while inheriting their father's appearance, they also inherited some characteristics of their respective mothers. Delhei is obviously the tallest and strongest of the three brothers, and his appearance is also very resolute, except for his eyebrows.
He has a somewhat arrogant look, and he is also the one with the strongest military aura among the three brothers. He wears inner armor strung with tough cowhide rope, and carries a scimitar inlaid with gems on his waist.
The second brother Ta Lai is actually a bit more beautiful than the other two brothers. This may also be related to the fact that his mother is the most beautiful woman in the Ule tribe. Her skin is fair and does not look like a nomadic man who has experienced daily wind and rain.
, on the contrary, he is a bit more southern. But this does not mean that his character is weak. On the battlefield, his bravery and courage are not inferior to the resolute Delhei, and he can be regarded as a representative that people should not be judged by their appearance.
It is worth mentioning that Delhei is about ten years older than the other two brothers and already has two children. Ta Lai and Asier are about the same age, but Asier has different skin color and appearance.
The reason is that he seems to be more mature than his second brother.
"Big brother! Second brother!" When he saw the two people walking out of the golden tent, Brother Xing had already explained to Asier the two brothers he had not seen for many years, and Asier also knelt down on one knee and bowed to the two men.
bye.
"Is this etiquette you learned from the Southern Kingdom?" Dalai laughed loudly, but it was not a mockery, but a hint of curiosity in the surprise. He stretched out his hand to pull up Asier who was kneeling on the ground, and used his shoulders to pull Asier up.
He bumped the latter's chest to show intimacy. "When you return to Wule, you have to remember the etiquette of Wule! The Southland style won't work here - but you can teach me if you have a chance. I feel very fond of the Southland.
Interested!"
Nanguo is what many Hu people call Shengguo in private. It has nothing to do with praise or criticism. It’s just that the pronunciation of Shengguo in the Hu language is a bit awkward, so they habitually refer to it by its geographical location.
"Brother, welcome back." Delhei, who had been "reminded" by Da Lai, also walked up quickly and stretched out his strong arms towards Asier. The arrogance on his face was silent at this time.
He stopped breathing and showed his white teeth.
Before returning, Azir heard from people in the mission that Noyan wanted to take this opportunity to establish an heir. Although he was not very interested in the position of the heir, he did not want to see the bloody ending of the brothers' fight, so in his heart
I have always been very fearful, and I am also very uneasy about the possible appearance of my two brothers.
It wasn't until the two brothers showed their kindness to him that Asier's somewhat anxious heart calmed down a little. After the three brothers exchanged pleasantries, Asier offered to visit his father first, and then they walked into the golden hall together.
account.
But what he never expected, and what was shocking to him, was that circles of wooden square tables had been arranged along the circular tent in the golden tent, and the long table in the center was arched by the stars.
, and sitting at the table were his father, Noyan Suhe, and his mother, Naren.
"Father! Mother!" Asier crossed the desks and crowds and knelt down in front of his parents. At this time, he didn't care at all that this etiquette belonged to Sheng Guo or Hu Bu. He just wanted to take a close look at the ten-year separation.
Parents of five years.
Strictly speaking, Na Ren is not Su He's official wife. But in today's scene where mother and son are reunited, there is nothing wrong with her sitting in the main seat. However, she has always been steady and dignified, but at this time she has lost some of her role as a hostess.
There is a certain demeanor, just like all mothers in the world when seeing their children returning from travels, she threw herself on Asier with tears of joy and hugged her children tightly.
When Asier left, he was not half as tall as his mother, but at this time he had grown into an upright man. Naren didn't know how to describe her feelings when she saw her only son again, but it made all the men and women present feel happy.
Everyone has a feeling of empathy.
Even Ulenoyen, who lives up to his name and is always as tough as an axe, couldn't help but shed tears. The injury on his leg has not yet healed, but as a father who should be a role model for his children, he still insists on walking at a steady pace.
Arriving at Asier's side.
In order to prepare for this banquet to welcome his son back, Su He summoned almost all the generals of the Ule tribe to come back and let all the soldiers and herdsmen cheer for it. The mountains of cattle, sheep and fine wine were the most conspicuous among them.
A kind of evidence, but at this time, everyone felt that they were out of place in this square tent. This pure land only belonged to a family that was safe and sound.
