Chapter 277 The Heart of the Sun
Xiao Jinyan smiled awkwardly. He just tied his belt halfway and ran over to watch the fun, which led to this scene.
"Sorry, it wasn't intentional."
Dilinaza said "pah", thinking of the angry words she had previously fought with Margaret, Xiao Jinyan heard them and asked, "What did you hear?"
Xiao Jinyan waved his hand, "I'm drunk and my ears are not working."
"You are still tactful!" Dilinaza snorted coldly and left here. Not far away, Ali's voice came, "Brother Xiao, where are you? Don't run away, this wine has just begun."
A gust of wind blew, and Xiao Jinyan became even more dizzy. He said "Here", and fell to the ground with a thump.
When he woke up, it was already early the next morning. He was lying in Ali's camp, and Little Manu sat beside him, staring at him in a daze.
"Master, are you awake? Let's continue to teach me how to practice swords today."
Xiao Jinyan hurriedly ate breakfast, milk tea and mutton. When he first ate it, it had a slight smell of mutton, but after a few bites, he felt that the taste was pretty good. In the morning, Ali went out to do business. He taught Manu's nameless sword technique in front of the camp. Manu had a good understanding. After Xiao Jinyan demonstrated each move several times, he learned it well. Xiao Jinyan really got in mind and did not hide his own personal information when teaching the sword technique.
At noon, Xiao Jinyan was about to go to the river to fetch water. When she saw Dilinaza sitting by the river, looking at the river water with a pity. Today, she was wearing a plain dress and looking at the grassland in the distance, looking thoughtful.
Xiao Jinyan thought of her teasing him yesterday, so he picked up a stone and threw it at the riverside. With a thud, water splashed all over her.
"You?" The other party turned around and saw Xiao Jinyan, with a look of displeasure in his eyes, "Who are you? Do I know you?"
Seeing her pretending to be confused, Xiao Jinyan clapped her hands and said, "What's wrong? Are you angry?"
The other party suddenly said, "I heard from the Crescent Spring that there was a Han man in the clan. Are you Xiao Jinyan?"
Xiao Jinyan said, "Aren't you Dilinaza?"
The woman said, "I am her sister, Gulireba, Gubang is the heart of the sun."
Xiao Jinyan looked carefully and found that the woman and Dilinaza were almost carved from the same mold, but her face was quiet, not as arrogant and stingy as Dilinaza. She thought to herself that one of them was called Crescent Fountain and the other was the Heart of the Sun. In comparison, the sister was gentler and more like Crescent Fountain.
He scratched his head, "Sorry, Dilinaza, Gulireba, I recognized the wrong person."
The woman said, "It doesn't matter, we look very similar. Not to mention you, even the tribe members can't tell the difference."
"Ha ha!"
Xiao Jinyan had to smile to relieve the embarrassment. Sun's heart said, "My sister said a lot of bad things about you yesterday. You have to be careful of her. You have a good prank."
The woman slowly stood up, and only then did Xiao Jinyan notice that she was not wearing shoes, she was dragged on the ground in plain clothes, like a daffodil, and a faint fragrance came from her body. The woman nodded slightly to him and left the riverside.
Xiao Jinyan was stunned. Manu saw it and smiled, "Do you also like Sister Sun Heart?"
Xiao Jinyan squinted his face, "Is there anyone talking to the master like this?"
Manu hehe, "Compared with Crescent Fountain, I also like Sister Sun Heart. She treats people well, unlike Crescent Fountain, who always bullies me."
Xiao Jinyan could see that although the twin sisters looked the same, the differences in their personalities led to a very different temperament of both sides.
"It's a pity that after Moon Festival, my sister is going to Xijing."
Xiao Jinyan was curious
, Ask, "Why?"
"She is the eldest daughter of the clan. Last year, someone introduced her to a marriage in the capital. She was the nephew of our Emperor of Great Chu. After Moon Festival, she turned 18 years old. According to the customs of the clan, she was going to the capital to get married."
There were several nomadic peoples in the territory of Great Chu. In order to improve their strength, many tribes had to marry the nobles in the capital. In exchange, the royal court of Great Chu was also responsible for protecting these tribes. This kind of marriage with a remedial color has been passed down in the State of Chu for many years.
Even in the Central Plains, in order to win over some foreign countries, the royal family would let some royal princesses go to marry, so as to become emperors, it is to give birth to children hard.
Of course, this was the past. Today's emperor Zhu Liye has always ruled the world with martial arts. Those who have evil intentions in foreign countries and have directed troops to conquer.
However, this kind of political marriage is full of too many uncertainties. Gulireba was given this mission since she was a child, so her life was already destined, and her sister was more lively.
Buda ran over panting and said, "The big thing is wrong."
Seeing that he was sweating, Xiao Jinyan asked, "Brother Buda, say it slowly."
Buda said, "This morning, Crescent Spring and Margo went out to hunt, fell into the trap of the Huole people and was captured by the Huole people. They sent the jade bracelets of the Crescent Spring, and let us ancient people exchange the fire kirin. The patriarch is convening people for meetings."
Xiao Jinyan and Manu followed Buda to the tent of the clan leader. Seeing that the clan leader Gule was at a loss, the woman in plain clothes was by his side to comfort her father. And Dilinaza's fiancé Marg, with a bruised nose and a swollen face, sat aside, silent.
Dilinaza was arrested, and the Gubang tribe was in chaos. The clan had different opinions on the Huole people's request and they were divided into two factions.
One faction believes that the Huole people crossed the line and captured the Crescent Spring was a provocation to the Gubang tribe. If they followed them this time, they would definitely gain a better position. What's more, the Fire Kirin can pay for one year's taxes and allow more tribes to survive in the cold winter.
Another faction insists that the Crescent Spring is the stars on the grassland and is a gift given to the ancient bandits by God. The Fire Kirin is small, and the Crescent Spring's life is more important.
The patriarch was in a dilemma. One was his beloved little daughter, and the other was related to the interests of the tribe members. He was stuck in the middle and could not make any choice.
Xiao Jinyan is a foreigner, so he can't speak here, not to mention that he can't understand Gubang's language and don't know what they are talking about.
Ali said, "We might as well ask Margo about this matter. He is the number one warrior in our clan and the fiancé of Crescent Fountain."
Marge's face turned pale and he remained silent. Today, on the grassland, he was severely humiliated by the Huole people. If he hadn't run fast, he would have fallen into their hands.
Ali urged, "You said something."
At this time, a clan member rushed in with a box. When everyone opened the box, it turned out to be a bloody ear. "Class leader, Huo Le sent this just now, and said, before dark, if the Fire Kirin is not delivered, then wait... and wait to collect the corpse for the Crescent Spring!"
In the camp, the clan members were indignant.
Buda shouted, "It's too much!" He said to the patriarch, "Give me a hundred warriors, I'll save the Crescent Spring."
Someone said, "How to save me? Huo Le is cunning and acts cruelly. If he angers them, it will probably be counterproductive."
Margo looked at Xiao Jinyan and said in Chinese, "This incident happened because of him. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have caught the Fire Qilin, nor would we cause no trouble!"
Someone echoed, "Not bad!"
Xiao Jinyan
I was angry, what kind of bullshit logic is this? When I helped you catch the Fire Kirin, you were all happy like the New Year. Now I blamed me again?
Buda had long been dissatisfied with Margo, and spat on the ground, saying, "Magg, you are still our Gubang warrior. I look down on you when you say such words at this time."
Buda is the guard of Crescent Fountain. Crescent Fountain was captured. He was full of self-blame in his heart. He had always been disagreeable with Margo, looked down on Margo's arrogant and arrogant behavior, and in the end he shirked responsibility, and couldn't help but accuse him.
"I'll go!"
A quiet voice sounded in the camp. Gulireba stood up and said to her father, "The Crescent Spring is my sister, I am willing to save her. Even if they don't agree, I am willing to exchange my life for another."
Sun Heart has gentle words, but her eyes are firm and full of power. She has a gentle personality, but her position is very firm when it comes to family affection.
"No!"
An elder said, "It took us a lot of effort to help you make a marriage in the capital. Since Tianjian Liuyun passed away, our clan has never received the protection of nobles in the capital. We must not let you take risks for the Crescent Spring!"
Tianjian Liuyun is the sister of the patriarch Löw, and also the aunt of the Crescent Spring and the Heart of the Sun. Twenty years ago, she married the second prince Chu Hao, the Crazy Knife Chu Ritian. Later, it was reported that she had an affair with the Golden Knife Li Qiuyi. After Chu Ritian went crazy, he killed him.
Since then, the Gubang tribe lost its protection and became a third-rate tribe. The Huole tribe took the opportunity to rise and replaced the Gubang tribe's position on the sea of Lingding.
Last year, Chu Bieli returned to Beijing, launched a palace coup to kill Chu Qiu, and ascended the throne. His previous relatives also ascended the sky. The Gubang tribe used his relationship in the imperial city to say that Gulireba and the royal relative were married.
Chu Bieli is nearly fifty years old and has no children. This nephew is very likely to become the heir to the Great Chu royal family in a hundred years. Compared with the Fire Kirin, the Heart of the Sun is even more of a treasure in the clan. So when she proposed to save the Crescent Spring, everyone opposed it in unison.
Gulireba did not answer the elder, but walked to Xiao Jinyan and asked in Chinese, "Xiao Daxiao, what do you think?"
Manu had translated the arguments of the people present to Xiao Jinyan. Xiao Jinyan thought for a moment and said, "Compared with a horse, it is of course more important to be a human. We cannot attack the Huole people, we should take the lead by wisdom."
"Cunning Han people!" said Mag, "We Gubang people have always spoken with fists and knives, and we can't learn your kind!"
"Then take the knife and go and save your sweetheart. I believe that before you rush to them, the Crescent Spring will be dismembered by them."
The Heart of the Sun knelt in front of Xiao Jinyan and said softly, "Xiao Daxiao, you saved my sister twice. Please take action again. We Gubang people will always remember your kindness!"
Xiao Jinyan was a little hesitant.
Ali knew that Xiao Jinyan was very skilled in martial arts, and even Malakis was not his opponent, so he said, "Brother Xiao, for the sake of our friendship, please save her. We Gubang people will always praise your story!"
Manu said in a naive voice, "Isn't it just like using the Fire Kirin to exchange it? Why are you still quarreling?"
The elder said, "The Huole people are full of tricks. Even if they get the Fire Kirin, they may not be able to release them."
Xiao Jinyan didn't want to care about this kind of thing at first, and Crescent Spring was not friendly to him, but when he saw the long eyelashes of Sun Heart, there was tears in his eyes. No one could refuse such a woman's request, he softened his heart.
