Ashinachoyu's cavalry stayed in Suchuobu for two days, and the carnival in the tribe also lasted for two days. This mission from the Turkic royal court was so timely, and it was like sending help to Suchuobu in a timely manner.
The most needed support. With the Ashina family as a big backer, Su Chuoxir could justifiably propose to Zhishibada Aijin to take over the crown left by the ancestors of the Xi people. The aggressive Khitan people on the side would also temper their aggressiveness.
For the sake of the marriage between the Suchu tribe and the Ashina family, give up their unreasonable demands.
"It's the Changshengtian and the Holy Wolf who are protecting Su Chuobu!" All the shepherds said so. Until Ashina Choyu left, the excitement in people's hearts had not passed.
"The white swan doesn't want to soar into the blue sky on its own, but instead imitates the crow and follows the wolves to pick up broken bones to eat. Alas, Wan Qing has been teaching Syl for so long, hasn't she taught him to take a longer view?" Coppersmith
Master loves to go against others, banging the chopping board and complaining to Li Xu.
"Patriarch, the patriarch may have his own decision!" Li Xu replied absently, looking at the fire.
The blue dancing in the furnace was licking a large piece of star iron. Tao Kuo took off the silk and fished out the star iron from the Crescent Lake and made a weapon for Li Xu. There was still a lot left. Little A Si
Lan was about to be born, and Li Xu just used the remaining materials to make two scimitars.
One for little Aslan's self-defense, and the other? Li Xu smiled foolishly, intoxicated by the dream of happiness.
"Idiot, do you think women from the Ashina family are so easy to marry?" The coppersmith stretched out his hand and hit a blast on the disciple's forehead. With this disciple's current qualifications, it is best to find a deserted mountain.
He lived in seclusion. But God pushed him into a whirlpool, and he himself stepped into the center of the whirlpool without realizing any danger.
"Brother Queyu said that his marriage to Aslan will not involve the families of both parties!" Li Xu took out the red-hot iron with a pair of tongs, hammered it hard a few times, and wiped the sweat from his face.
answer.
Ashina Queyu's affinity is unparalleled, and the enthusiasm and generosity shown in every gesture have won the favor of the entire Su Chui tribe. Li Xu did not want to let unfounded suspicions ruin the entire tribe's happiness, although he and the coppersmith
Like the master, he was also vaguely aware that there might be a huge conspiracy behind this excessive enthusiasm. But what the conspiracy was, he couldn't see clearly like seeing flowers in the smoke.
"If Brother Xu were here, he would definitely be able to guess what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of Ashina Queyu. Unfortunately, Brother Xu is still on the Xinkai River, leading his troops to guard against the Khitan's sneak attack!" Li Xu shook his head and tried his best to tell the truth.
The chaotic thoughts in his mind were left behind. Making weapons required concentration, and he did not want any of the two scimitars to be born to be defective.
"You kid, you are still kind-hearted after all!" The coppersmith sighed and stopped talking. What should come will eventually come. Wings that have not experienced wind and rain will never grow big. Some truths can only be understood after suffering losses.
He looked lovingly at Li Xu who was swinging the sledgehammer so hard that he felt like he was seeing himself more than twenty years ago.
The big hammer and the small hammer made noisy noises, playing a pastoral song. In the sound of the pastoral song, time was gradually forgotten. The first black and blue knife blank with soft and smooth lines gradually took shape, and golden flames flowed between the blades, sometimes erupting.
Give out a dazzling light.
Both the master and the apprentice stopped talking. The forging work has reached the most critical moment. The coppersmith's profound experience and Li Xu's long physical strength greatly speeded up the completion. After the blade and the excessive parts of the blade are smoothed, another fine product will be born.
.
"You actually have the heart to strike iron here!" The door of the workshop was kicked open, and a figure wrapped in the cold wind burst in angrily.
"Eru! Dang!" Li Xu was distracted, and the sledgehammer deviated from the target, denting the blade. The natural pattern formed by forging the star iron was shattered, and the entire blade no longer looked like it.
Naturally. He put down the hammer in annoyance and looked at Eru.
"Come on, follow me to the central tent!" Eru's eyes were red, and she pulled the corners of Li Xu's clothes like crazy. The fool in front of her was so brainless that his wife was about to be robbed, but he still cared.
Help others with the knife.
"What, what's going on!" Li Xu pulled Eru a little unhappily and asked in a low voice. All his efforts today were in vain because of Eru's recklessness. If he wanted to restore the pattern on the blade surface, the entire blade would have to be used.
Reheat.
"Beat, I'll beat you to death!" Eru, who has always been gentle and considerate, shouted with tears in her eyes, "They want Tao Kuo to marry off to the Turks, but you actually have the heart to strike iron here!"
"What?" Li Xu was stunned and didn't react for a moment. Tao Kuo was going to marry a Turk. Didn't he say that a Turk's daughter was going to marry Aslan? Why, just a few days later, all the arrangements were made
Everything has changed?
"Go ahead and do your best!" The coppersmith pushed Li Xu on the shoulder and advised him in a low voice.
"Oh!" Li Xu agreed, and stumbled out of the workshop with E Ru. As soon as the autumn wind blew, his mind immediately cleared up. Tao Kuo wanted to marry a Turk, but Tao Kuo had already had an affair with him.
Chief’s appointment? Chief Xier approved this matter! Elder Etuo blessed this matter! The entire Suchu tribe and the entire grassland once blessed himself and Tao Kuo Tuosi!
He jumped on his horse and rushed madly to the central tent. No wonder he always felt that Queyu's drunken smile was so mysterious. This man was not drunk at all that day, but he got the entire Su Chuan tribe drunk!
'Aslan is just a tribal nobleman. If his son marries Ashina Choyu's daughter, it will inevitably break the balance of power within the Suchu tribe!' As he was galloping, Li Xu felt that he had turned into Xu Dayan, and his eyes instantly
Breaking through the dark fog. 'In order to maintain the authority of the Xier family in the Suchu tribe, someone in the patriarch's family must marry someone with a higher status in the Ashina family.'
Prairie people are upright, but that doesn't mean they don't know how to trade. Li Xu knew that he was really stupid. He was stupid enough to believe Ashina Choyu's generosity so easily. He was stupid enough to believe that everyone around him was like Uncle Jiu.
Sincere and kind, he was so stupid that he thought he was a member of the Su Chuan tribe...
The black wind that he won from Que Yu was worthy of being a BMW. After a few leaps and bounds, it rushed behind the central tent where the tribe held meetings. Li Xu jumped off the horse and rushed towards the front door of the central tent with a scimitar in hand.
, the moment his body brushed against the round tent wall, he heard a choking voice...
"Fu Li is not showing off, no, Fu Li is gambling with Que Yu for the glory of the tribe. The wolf rider is so fierce, he doesn't want our shepherd to lose his spirit!"
"It's Tao Kuo Tuosi, she's speaking for me!" Li Xu's footsteps stagnated, and his heart was immediately filled with a mixture of happiness and sorrow.
"She is speaking for me, she has not abandoned me!" The young man's back straightened. He straightened his clothes and walked slowly towards the front door of the tent. No matter how many winds and rains were waiting ahead, he must use reason instead of recklessness.
to resolve.
"Chief Xier, can women be allowed to speak freely in the meeting of ministers and elders?" A sinister voice interrupted Tao Kuo's crying. It was Elder Miye, and Li Xu knew that he was too familiar with this voice.
It was this shameless old guy who hesitated and flinched when faced with a strong enemy, but now he had the evil idea of sacrificing Tao Kuotosi to gain favor from the Turks.
"This is my own marriage. Of course I can speak for myself!" Tao Kuo looked at everyone with tears in his eyes and answered with a hint of determination. These people are crazy, they have no conscience. Fu Li has done this for the tribe.
There were so many things going on that they chose to betray without any ceremony.
"This is not your own marriage. This is a major matter that affects the lives and deaths of tens of thousands of people!" Elder Ertuo stood up, his voice without any emotion, "The Turks proposed marriage to the nephew of the Khan, and we have no power to refuse."
"When have the descendants of the White Swan ever relied on others?" Duer's old father Gabler stood up and said. Among the elders, he has always been known for being stingy and reticent. Today, for a foreign boy, he actually refuted it in person.
The most prestigious Elder Etuo.
Several elders Su Chui, who usually don't like to take care of things, were whispering to each other below, turning the tent into a mess. Today's affairs are indeed very difficult. The daughter of the Xier family marries Qimin Khan's nephew. This is simply a matter of longevity.
The grace given to the Su Chuan tribe. For hundreds of years, the Xi tribe has not married such a powerful ally. However, Fu Li is the bodyguard of the Holy Wolf. Anyone with eyes should not choose whatever he has done since he came to the tribe.
forget!
"If we reject the Ashina family's proposal, we will have no power to resist the anger of the Turkic royal court. We only have a few thousand warriors, but the Turks have 200,000 wolf riders!" Su Chuali stood up and tried his best to keep his strength.
The tone sounded calm. He had finally waited for this opportunity. If the person who took away his name and honor was not removed, there was no telling whose head the White Swan's crown would fall in the future.
Outside the big tent, Li Xu's steps became slower and slower. He could clearly go around the side of the big tent and rush to the entrance of the tent as long as he turned around. But his body was as heavy as lead, preventing him from taking that crucial step. Su
Chu Fuli was absolutely right. He had already provided all he could for Su Chuo's tribe, but the Turkic Royal Court had two hundred thousand wolf riders!
Two hundred thousand wolf riders, thinking about the massacre when they attacked Suotou Xibu that day, there was only a bloody light left in front of Li Xu's eyes.
"Fuli can fight side by side with us and resist foreign humiliation!" Tao Kuo Tuosi shouted at the top of his lungs. When Su Chufuli was talking, she saw many elders nodding frequently. Even Shetusha, who was the best to herself and Fuli,
Brother Elder also leaned on the ground and lowered her head. A feeling of despair enveloped her whole body, but she could not accept this fate, never!
"That Han won't fight alongside us, he is a deserter!" Su Chufuli sneered, turning his gaze to everyone present, "I have privately approached several traders and asked about the origin of that Han boy. Emperor of the Sui Dynasty
When they wanted to attack Goguryeo, those Han boys didn't dare to go, so they fled to our tribe on the pretext of doing business. Think about it, will a coward who is unwilling to fight for his own tribe shed blood for someone else's tribe?
"
"Fu Li is not a coward, Fu Li is not..." Tao Kuo Tuosi burst into tears in despair. She wanted to defend her sweetheart, but she couldn't deny that what her uncle said was true. Li Xu had nothing to hide from her, why he came to the Ministry of Finance
, she knew the reason why she didn’t rush home.
"Will a coward who is unwilling to fight for his own tribe bleed for someone else's tribe?" Li Xu stood blankly beside the felt tent, his face pale, and his body shrank like a withered grass in the wind. Eru had already chased him.
, holding his hand and walking towards the felt door, but he couldn't move.
In despair, he saw Tao Kuo Tuosi crying and rushing out of the felt tent. He saw Eru crying and chasing after Tao Kuo Tuosi. He saw the Su Chuu warrior in front of the felt tent door staring at him with full eyes.
