Chapter 5 Deer Hunting (20)

That night, everyone in Su Chuo's tribe entertained Ashina Choyu and his entourage with the courtesy of welcoming distinguished guests. They held a carnival and the bonfire was lit from the central tent to the outside of the camp. During the dinner, Su Chuofuli repeatedly asked Li Xu to general

The war horses were returned to the guests, but Ashina Queyu 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 Queyu did not hide anything about the mission of the trip.

out.

It turned out that more than a dozen families of Suotouxi herdsmen fled to the Turkic royal court and cried to the Khan about the pain of being exterminated by the Suchu tribe. The Khan was "merciful" and did not want to see his people killing each other.

Therefore, Ashina Choyu was specially sent to the east to understand the whole story of the war.

"If you know the whole story of the war, you are obviously here to ask for benefits. If you want to mediate, what were the Turks busy with last winter?" Tao Kuotosi leaned over and said in Li Xu's ear while he was pouring wine.

"The Turks are powerful, let's see how Elder Etuo responds first!" Li Xu responded in a low voice in Chinese. The two of us had a strong affection for each other, and after saying a few words, they moved the topic elsewhere. As for how Elder Etuo would respond to the Turkic envoys

When he complained about being attacked and plundered by the Suotouxi tribe, nine out of ten sentences 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 the shepherd 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 tribe on the bank of Yueya Lake have become one and the same, and are gradually becoming one. He has helped the Su Chuan tribe deal with the current troubles. After the tribes are merged in the future, thinking about today's achievements, he will naturally be indispensable.

The elder's seat.

"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, the heroic deeds of finally ensuring that the warning message was sent back to the tribe in time. Let's talk about how the tribes rushed to fight, how they risked their lives to protect their own old, weak, women and children, and defeated thousands of the opponent's cavalry with more than a thousand herdsmen... Speaking of helplessness.

Every one of them burst into 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 out large armies.

Conquest. The rise of the Su Chuan 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 Chuanxi to replace the original eldest brother of the Xi tribe, or to suppress Su Chuanxi.

You, continue to uphold the authority of Zhui Sheba. As for the cries of a few taunting people, just draw a small piece of grassland for them, which is enough for twenty families to make a living, and it will clear their ears.

"It was Fuli who disrupted the opponent's deployment by firing arrows, and Xu Xian made a plan to lure the scouts to divide their troops. Then the six of them killed half of the opponent's troops with a small number and a large number..." Brother Shetosha admired the two Han teenagers very much.

He raised his thumb and reported to Ashina Choyu.

"At that time, Fuli 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 archery skills and good strategies. You have such a brave man in the Su Chuan tribe. No wonder Suotou Xi Ren lost!" After listening to Elder Sha Ge's story, Ashina Queyu clapped his hands in admiration. Looking at his expression, he had completely stood up to Su's side.

Chuobu, on the other hand, no longer wants to seek justice for Suotou Xibu.

"Thanks to the Great Khan, each of our young men in Su Chuo's tribe is stronger than the last!" Su Chufuli 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.

On the grassland, the principle of respecting the strong is respected. 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.

Then he called his younger brother Su Chufuli 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 Chufuli came back to resume his life. The leader of the Xier clan ordered someone to get a bow and fifteen arrows, stood up and asked the warriors drinking in front of another fire, "There are thirteen torches a hundred steps away.

Can anyone kill them all with fifteen arrows?"

"Why use fifteen arrows!" Without waiting for the other warriors to agree, Su Chuofuli stood beside his brother and responded. He reached out to grab the bow and flew onto the horse. He ran forward for more than ten steps and turned the horse's head sideways, "

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" Several arrows were fired in succession, and each arrow must be extinguished by a torch. For a moment, the distance fell into darkness, and the sound of horse hooves could be heard in the distance. Su Chufuli jumped off the horse and took the remaining two arrows with them.

He held the horn bow in front of his 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. In the evening, he was drinking with Li Xu, and he was already half drunk. At this time, he was half drunk.

His body was swaying, but his words and deeds were full of arrogance.

"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, he heard someone shouting by another bonfire, "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.

Gosana saw him pulling out a burning stick from the bonfire, flying onto his horse. In the blink of an eye, he replaced the thirteen extinguished torches. Then he rode his horse back, dropped the stick, bent his bow and set an arrow,

The centaur and the horse walked around quickly and easily completed the same action as Su Chuipei.

"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 magic archers. This one

The true strength of men and horses cannot be measured by the number of people. The Suotou Xi people dared to take the initiative to provoke others on the pasture. It seems that they really deserved to die.

"Slow down, slow down, 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 the blink of an eye, the torch went out again, Hou Quli dropped his horn bow and swayed towards Ah

Shi Nachoyu.

It is far more difficult to extinguish the beating flames in the dark than to hit the target in broad daylight. The most important hero on the grassland watched the magical shooting three times in succession, and the atmosphere of the banquet was suddenly pushed to *. Ashina Queyu took the lead in cheering

, raised 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 Aslan hasn't performed yet!"

"Aslan! Aslan" countless girls clapped their hands and shouted. Suchu Aslan flew on his horse, assumed a cavalry assault posture, and ran through the dark night carrying a burning stick. The fire dragon was in the dark night

Ups and downs, more than ten stars were immediately lit up in the distance.

"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 back of the saddle and counted out twelve feather arrows, letting everyone see clearly with the light of the fire.

Then he dumped the rest of the arrows on the ground.

"Twelve arrows, he wants to shoot thirteen torches with twelve arrows!" Several girls clapped their hands and shouted, while shouting, they looked enviously at Pade, who was sitting by the campfire to relax. Aslan's wife Pade responded.

A happy 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 human's movements and the horse's pace must be in perfect harmony. Ordinary people would never dare to loosen the string when the horse changes direction when shooting an arrow. The cheers were suddenly suppressed, and everyone

Hold your breath 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 sounded like drums from near to far. Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly stopped, and then, the torch in the farthest corner tilted sideways and went out. A little cold star was on the torch when it was extinguished.

It shot out in an instant and hit the center of the other torch.

"Bang!" The last torch was shot to pieces by the hot arrow tip, and a few sparks jumped up like meteors, slowly disappearing into the darkness.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!" Several songs of autumn insects came from the distance, 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 clapped their hands desperately and gave the highest praise to the performers who came back on horseback without hesitation.

"Dry this bowl for such a wonderful shot!" Ashina Choyu suggested loudly. Everyone responded in unison, raised the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp. After drinking, Ashina Choyu poured himself another bowl of wine.

He raised it in front of Aslan and 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 Su Chuo's department. Besides, Pada, Pada wasn't hurt at all!" Aslan quickly sidestepped 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 Chu Fu Li smiled and smoothed things over for both parties. Training a black eagle that can be used in marching combat is quite effective.

It's not easy. The foreign Fu Li shot someone's treasure to death, which has greatly offended the Turkic royal court. Now that they are no longer pursuing the case, Su Chuobu should know how to be grateful. If he still thinks about the black eagle frightening Pade, he will be a little ignorant.

Anyway.

"In this case, even if we expose it, no one is allowed to remember it in the future!" Ashina Queyu said with a smile.

"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.

He couldn't help but let out a sigh in his heart, and a faint cloud appeared in the corner of his eyes.

"Is your wife going to give you a boy or a girl soon?" 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!" Aslan replied very happily. Linren speculated that there was a way to determine whether the fetus was male or female. Elder Etuo treated people ten times and five times they died.

If you look at the male and female fetuses for others, you can spot 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 Choyu 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. Instead, he 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 all the drunkenness in his body disappeared. No one in the Xi tribe has been so lucky in the past hundred years by marrying into the Turkic royal family. He looked for help at the forehead of the wisest man in the tribe.

Elder, he saw Elder Etuo's hands trembling and half a bowl of wine dripping down on 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 I can do it. It's just, it's just that A'Silan has some, some..." A'Silan searched hard for the right words. He is considered an upper-class figure in the Su Chuan tribe, but he is far less noble than the blood of Patriarch Xi'er.

.If you marry Ashina Choyu, in the future...

Ashina Queyu is such an experienced person. He pondered for a moment and 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, and your son will definitely be in the future."

You can protect my daughter well. My wife is a famous flower among the Turks, and the daughter she gives birth to will not humiliate 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 the kumiss in the bowl. (To be continued)
