Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

"Disciple dare not! What I mean is... since you can marry a wife and take concubines... this disciple wants to introduce you to a good marriage, and express my gratitude to you for saving our tribe."

"Good marriage?"

"That's right, let's make it clear. This person refers to my younger sister. In terms of beauty, she ranks second, and no one on the grassland dares to recognize her number one! Marrying you is definitely a match made in heaven!"

To be honest, Guo Ye really has no interest in this so-called "Pearl of the Grassland".Not to mention the three chapters of the agreement, but just talking about the quality of this Khitan's number one beauty, he was greatly suspicious.

Silla is rich in beauties, and Princess Shanhua is the best among them. She is so beautiful that it is absolutely certain.

But when it comes to Khitan... the beauties here don't have much reputation.On the contrary, as far as the Khitan women Guo Ye has seen so far, it can even be said that the beauties here are far below the standard.

Another key problem is that the population of Khitan is too small.The whole clan, men, women and children together, is only 20 people.The number one beauty in this population base is at best the number one beauty in a certain township in later generations. What gold content can there be?

So, he waved his hand and said: "Mr. Guo has accepted the kindness of the strong man Yelu. As for the matter of marriage... Mr. Guo is now under the royal order, so he dare not talk about his children's affair, let's forget it." .”

"So...you don't like it?"

"Uh... It's not that I don't want to, it's just that time is urgent. You can see that I just stayed in your tribe for seven or eight days, and I wasted a lot of time..."

Yelu Ashin rolled his eyes and said: "I said Qin Guogong, you are the incarnation of the Buddha, you can't lie. You think my sister is so beautiful no matter how beautiful she is, she doesn't deserve you? Let me tell you, you think so But it's completely wrong!"

Without waiting for Guo Ye to answer, he continued: "Do you know why my sister is not in our tribe?"

"Guo doesn't know."

"Then let's start with the history of our tribe..."

It turned out that the tribe of Yelu Ashin had 700 people, and it was a branch of the Finn tribe among the eight Khitan tribes.

The old patriarch of this tribe, that is, the father of Yelu Ashin, admired the culture of the Han people very much, and specially invited a monk who could speak Bianwen to come to the tribe to teach the people in the tribe to speak Chinese and learn Chinese characters.

This Bianwen monk came from Chang'an City, and was ordered to return to vulgarity because he violated the temple regulations.But he can do nothing but be a monk.

Chang'an City couldn't stay any longer, so in desperation, he left Yingzhou.Finally, he was recruited here by the old chief who admired the Han system.

It is precisely because of this that Yelu Ashin can communicate smoothly with Guo Ye, and even knows Guo Ye's past.

However, he just likes to listen to Bianwen, he just speaks Chinese well.The one who is really good at learning Chinese literature must be said to be his sister.

This woman is not only beautiful, but also because she is familiar with poetry and books, she has a scholarly air in her body.Among the vulgar and illiterate Khitan people, he stands out from the crowd.

The title of the most beautiful woman in Khitan soon fell on her head.

Of course, along with fame, there are also countless mad bees and butterflies.The unmarried nobles in Khitan all wanted to include her in their yurts.Even the married high-ranking people wanted to take her as a concubine.

The power of these people is enormous, with the strength of Yelu Axin's tribe, how can they withstand it?

In desperation, she could only be sent to a secret place and hid.It was precisely because of this that she was not implicated in this deadly plague.

However, the practice of hiding the person offended those nobles. They spent the whole day trying to find out who their tribe was, and wanted to take this opportunity to find out the whereabouts of this woman.

In order to avoid trouble, Yelu Axin's tribe had to go far away, live alone, and no longer have direct contact with the Finn Ministry.

The dilapidated house was even worse, Lian Yeyu, not long after they left the Ministry of Finance, they were targeted by the devil in hell, and people continued to be infected with ghost sores and died.

Thanks to meeting Guo Ye, they avoided the fate of being exterminated.

In the end, Yelu Ashin said: "Mr. Qin, our tribe is in this situation because of ghost face scars on the one hand, and my sister's beauty on the other hand. You said that the woman who can make the whole Khitan crazy and almost exterminate our clan, Can that appearance be simple?"

Guo Ye looked at Yelu Axin's big black face, and thought to himself, looking at you like this, how can your sister look good?What a joke.In my opinion, this is entirely because you Khitan people have never seen anything in the world, and you are just watching the sky from a well.

However, even though he thought so in his heart, he would not say it out loud and hurt Yelu Axin's self-esteem.

Out of politeness, Guo Ye said against his will: "Thinking about it this way, Lingmei's appearance must be beautiful and extraordinary. But I don't know her name?"

"My little sister's name is Xiao Dan!"

puff~

Guo Ye took a sip of tea and said, "Could it be that Lingmei and you are half-brothers?"

Chapter 1882 Cooked Khitan

"Qin Guogong, you have to keep your word, how can we be half fathers? My younger sister and I are definitely the same father and the same mother!"

Guo Ye asked suspiciously: "Since you have the same father and the same mother, why do you two have completely different surnames, one is Yelu and the other is Xiao?"

"Uh... You ask this, actually we Khitan people have different customs from your Han people, we have a name but no surname. As for Xiao Dan and I having a surname, it was influenced by your Han people. I take the surname of Han Gaozu as the Surname, in our Khitan language, Yelu means Liu."

"Then Lingmei's surname is Xiao also in Khitan language?"

"No, she just took the surname of Xiao He, the number one hero of the Han Dynasty, without translating it into Khitan."

"So that's it. Guo has been educated. However, I still have a question. Just now you said that Lingmei has many suitors, which caused your tribe to be so embarrassed. Girls always want to marry, so you find someone for her Wouldn't the problem be solved after getting married?"

"That's impossible." Yelua said: "My sister is only one person, who is better to marry? Marrying one person will offend everyone else? The effect is still the same."

"Of course I don't know the specific candidate. But among your sister's suitors, there is no one who can protect your tribe from the wind and rain? Wouldn't it be enough to marry her to that person?"

Guo Ye paused for a moment, then continued: "Could it be that Lingmei already has a sweetheart and doesn't like that person?"

"Of course my sister doesn't have a sweetheart. The reason why we didn't marry her off is because...there is no one who can protect our tribe from wind and rain!"

"No...doesn't exist? Could it be that your Khitan Eight Clans have no leader? Or is it that he is not among your sister's suitors?"

"There is a leader, and he also wants to marry my sister. But... well, the leader of our Khitan is completely different from your Tang Dynasty. Your emperor of the Tang Dynasty acts on behalf of the heavens and has unlimited authority. But the leader of our Khitan is not that big. power."

"Not even capable of sheltering a small tribe?"

"That's really not true. Everyone knows that our Khitan Eight Clans are a tribal alliance, but do you know that our alliance leader was born?"

"Isn't it the father who dies and the son inherits it, and the hereditary does not replace it?"

"It's really not. In fact, our alliance leader was elected..."

"Election?" Guo Ye had an unbelievable expression on his face, as if he saw a primitive man with a machine gun, and said, "So advanced?"

"Advanced? Qin Guogong, don't hurt us. If we can be regarded as advanced, then what is your Tang Dynasty? In fact, looking at all countries, our system is the most backward. The leader of the alliance has no What kind of power, the internal affairs of the clan are not unified, and it is difficult to compete with other countries."

"Okay, let's not talk about whether your system is advanced, can you tell me how your alliance leader is selected?"

"sure……"

It turned out that the Khitan was formed by an alliance of the eight so-called Khitan tribes.These eight divisions are Daji, Hebian, Duhuo, Fenwen, Tubian, Ruixi, Zhuijin and Fubu.

The eight tribes are strong and weak, the most powerful is the Hebian tribe, and the Fenwen tribe to which Yelu Axin belongs is the weakest.

The leader of the eight divisions is called "adult".
