(Thank you every day, Zhao Wuxiu 2014)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Just ten miles southeast of Hu Su City, on the banks of Tang Jushui, Ma Han saw Su Puyan and Datou father and son surrounded by the cavalry...

As soon as they met, Su Puyan laughed and came down from the horse's back and opened his arms to Ma Han: "After farewell by Rao Le, he will be one year old in the blink of an eye. It's great to see Ma Jun again!"

"I am also very happy to see King Qiao, and I am even more grateful that King Qiao did not have the Xianbei people with wings. This is how we meet today." Ma Han also dismounted and smiled and bowed to Su Puyan.

Su Puyan's open arms froze for a moment, then laughed loudly, stepped forward to hold Ma Han's shoulders, slapped and laughed, so enthusiastic that he was unremarkable. If he didn't know, he thought they were old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years, but in fact, the two of them had only met one time, and they had never said a few words in total, and it was a whole year later.

At the shore of Raole River, Ke Bieneng gathered the Xianbei and 4,000 Wuwan cavalry to chase and kill Ma Han. A considerable number of forces did not participate, such as Lou Ban and Su Puyan, the strongest among the three counties of Wuwan. Lou Ban had a good impression of Ma Han, while Su Puyan felt that killing more than a dozen people was too unchallenging, and there was no benefit. In addition, he was not in the way of dealing with Wu Yan, and Lou Ban opposed it, so he did not send troops to help in the end.

Originally, I thought it was a matter of pinching a snail with ten fingers - but I never expected that the final result of the incident was Ke Bi Neng's defeat, and he suffered heavy damage from himself to the entire tribe, which directly led to the decline of a powerful tribe. This incident completely overturned Su Puyan's common sense of experience and made him secretly glad that he made the right decision.

However, Su Puyan scoffed at the "myth" of Ma Han who was rumored to be alone in Mobei, and one enemy was 4,000. He believed that the most likely was that there was an ambush hidden on Baizhang Gorge, because according to his investigation from many sources, all the soldiers who participated in the battle of the canyon and survived. The enemy's arrows were fast and fierce, and they did not seem to be shot by one person and one bow. Judging by experience, at least a dozen strong archers fired together, which would have such an effect.

Although Su Puyan did not believe that Ma Han's bravery was as terrible as it was circulated by the outside world, he absolutely recognized Ma Han's combat effectiveness with his subordinates. No matter how many ambushers were hidden in Baizhang Gorge, whether they were fifty or one hundred, they could defeat dozens of times the enemy, this strength was enough to win the respect of any tribe.

It is this respect for strength that Su Puyan did not bring any weapons and only brought a follower to greet Ma Han, who still came out in person and held a banquet at the royal tent.

When the king's tent was held, ordinary entourages were of course not qualified to take the seat, but Ma Han immediately pointed out his entourage's identity. This was Zhou Cang, the military marquis under his command, and was equivalent to the thousand-year-old of the tent of the Wuhuan army, and he was indeed qualified to take the account.

After taking the seat, the first group of Karasuma girls sang and danced to welcome the guests. Among them, there was a girl with round face and breasts, who, intentionally or unintentionally, danced by the Mahan case, and the two large waves on her chest were staring at Zhou Cang.

Su Puyan has always paid great attention to Ma Han's expression, but unfortunately no matter how he looks, he can't see any fluctuations in Ma Han's face or eyes, which makes Su Puyan feel very disappointed.

After singing and dancing, respecting the mud, cleaning hands, and sharing a series of VIP-level high-standard greetings, the guests and hosts took their seats.

Su Puyan first gave a bowl of butterfly juice, then smacked his lips after raising his neck, shook his head and said, "We are here with Yujiu delicacies, but more than a hundred of Ma Jun's subordinates are outside to fill their hunger with dry food. If they spread it, they will be teased by other tribes. I think Su Puyan doesn't understand the way of treating guests... Ma Jun, can you ask your subordinate to come together and enter my tent and treat them with butterfly juice, beef and sheep."

Ma Han smiled and declined: "There are many carriages accompanying you, all of which are gifts to the Liaodong prefect. In order to prevent any mistakes, the guards must not leave their posts without permission. King Qiao Mei was grateful."

When Su Puyan heard this, his face suddenly looked ugly. He paused heavily on the short-term case, and he was displeased: "This radius of three hundred miles is all in my territory. No one who has the courage to rob here will dare not rob. Does Ma Jun think that I, Su Puyan, is not trustworthy?"

Ma Han bowed and said, "It's really not to be hiding. I met an old friend just now, and described it as a very embarrassing person. The master and property he guarded were all plundered by robbers, and he was even chased and almost lost his life. Therefore, I have to be careful and hope that King Qiao would understand."

When he heard this, the answer, who was sitting opposite Ma Han, changed his color: "The warriors in my tent are indeed killed by you! Ma Jinglong, who is so arrogant in my corps, is he guilty of his life long?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Cang finally stopped cutting meat since he entered the account, and shook the flesh-cutting knife in his hand. His big mouth was still chewing, his eyes wide open, and he stared at Da's head provocatively.

How could the head withstand such teasing? He grabbed the flesh-cutting knife and wanted to stand up.

"Bang!" Su Puyan hit the case hard and was furious, "Oh, what are you going to do? If you say rudely, get out of me."

As soon as there was a fuss inside the tent, a group of big-shouldered and round-waisted swords and axemen rushed into the outside, staring at Ma Han and Zhou Cang in a fierce light, making a move to attack.

"Get out! Get out of here! I'll be disturbing the distinguished guests, I'll peel your skin!" Su Puyan slapped the desk so loudly that the group of swords and axes hurriedly lowered the swords and axes in his hands, bent down and retreated.

After scolding his son and drinking the sword-removing axe, Su Puyan turned around and apologized to Ma Han repeatedly, but found that the two distinguished guests were evaluating the food on the case.

"This meat is good, tender and delicious, with bloodshot in the meat, and at most it is only five minutes cooked. It's a good lamb chop."

"It's good, but the smell is a little bit louder... Uh, Chengshou, what is 'sheep chop'?"

"Oh, that's a delicacy for the Westerners."

"Qixi? Is it the Great Qin? Before I came, I heard the little girl of the Ma family boasted that her Ma family had military soldiers from the Great Qin people in the Great Western country."

"Well, she is talking about Rome... Well, it seems that there is a saying in later generations that there are Roman descendants in the Ma family army. Could it be that this is true..."

"What did Chengshou say? It's too noisy here, I didn't hear it clearly."

"Ah, it's okay, it's a little quarrel..."

While the king's tent was playing a knife and axe scene, the topics of Ma Han and Zhou Cang had already talked about it from food, geography, history, in terms of depth and breadth. Until the king's tent calmed down again, Ma Han apologized to Su Puyan: "I just discussed it very happily with my subordinates. If there is any rudeness, please don't blame King Qiao."

Su Puyan was speechless. After a long time, he made a burst of hilariousness, and the voice buzzed in the tent of nearly 100 square meters: "Hahahaha! This king was rude. Who is Ma Jinglong? Thousands of troops and horses were as easy as they were, how could he take a mere knife and axe hand seriously? This Zhou Junhou is also very good, and he is indeed a real hero."

Su Puyan saw that he could neither lure the White Wolf Cavalry into his enclosure nor shock the horses with his swords and axes. For such a guy who is not good at using soft and hard, it is the best choice to open the skylight and say something bright.

"Rabbits cannot escape the eyes of eagles, and flocks cannot escape the nose of hunting dogs. The horse-wrangler cannot rub the sand. When Ma Jun is traveling, is he sending his marriage to Zhen's property?"

Ma Han said bluntly: "Being a human being, also coming for the makeup."

Answer's hair laughed proudly: "You are late, you will be the one who will take the kiss quickly."

"Snatch the bride?" Ma Han was stunned for a moment. Didn't he say robbery? Why did it turn into robbery?

"That's right, it's just robbing the bride." The proud look in his head's eyes became stronger. "Ma Jun once built a tent and village on the shore of Rushui on the foot of Baitan Mountain. He is also half a grassland man. I guess he wouldn't have no idea about the old customs of this grassland?"

Zhou Cang was confused and even forgot to chew, but Ma Han understood. He really knew about this kiss before he had become a half-prairie man. This was thanks to the famous Genghis Khan.

As long as you understand the early experience of this genius in the grassland, it is easy to know that Temujin's mother Hoelun was stolen by his father on his way from the Marqiti tribe to send his marriage. Similarly, Temujin Yuanpe Borte was later snatched away by Meliki, and when he was taken back, his belly was getting bigger. Therefore, there is a saying that Temujin's eldest son, Jochi, was not his biological child.

The marriage robbery system was once popular in Mongolians. Of course, this is not unique to the Mongolians, but has a long history. The emergence of this system is naturally related to the grasslands in the northern desert. Mainly because the nomadic areas of Mongolia are vast and the Mongolians implement the extra-parent marriage system. Men often have to go to clans hundreds or even thousands of miles away to find them, which is very difficult. Therefore, if women of appropriate age are found during the nomadic process, they often take action to grab them directly in accordance with the principle of "it would rather kill the wrong ones than let go". They gave this behavior a warm name - "grabbing the bride".

Since this behavior is caused by regional rather than ethnicity, it is enough to show that all ethnic groups living on this grassland will inevitably have such behavior, but these ethnic groups have disappeared one after another, so their marriage customs are mostly unknown to later generations.

Whether it is the Wuhuan people or the Xianbei people, there is a custom of robbing relatives to varying degrees. The Wuhuan people are a little better. Since they have attached themselves to the Han Dynasty, they have moved to various counties in Youzhou. The tribes are much closer to each other, and intermarriage is much easier. The custom of robbing relatives has gradually faded - this is a typical need to determine the need. Only the Xianbei people are still lingering in the endless grassland, and their robbing relatives are much more serious.

When Ma Han established the Hange Village, he heard Hannu mention this custom. Many female slaves in other clans were victims of this behavior. Unexpectedly, he could see it once today.

Of course, Ma Han would not really think that the robbery needs. The robbery actually meets the needs of inheriting the family line. As the son of King Ku, the robbery needs no woman, and it is necessary to rob it? Needless to say, this must be a smoke screen to cover up the trouble. Not to mention, this reason really makes Gongsun Du angry and have nowhere to vent, unless he really wants to get into a traitor for this matter, but the possibility is not high, and he probably will eventually take advantage of the straitor to accept Su Puyan's apology.

But what should Zhen do if this happens? Where can the face of this Zhongshan clan be put? Especially the person involved, Zhen Qin, the victim of the incident, bears such a humiliating reputation, can she have a better idea in Liaodong?

Ma Han thought of it and had already made some mistakes. He stood up slowly and said, "Snatch the bride, right? Very good. I don't mind I'll participate in one too, right? It is said that the person who meets it has a share."

He replied in a sneer: "Do you want to take the bride on behalf of that Gongsun Prince? Yes, go to Xiangping first to obtain the consent of the Gongsun family."
