Lanling covered the moon

Chapter 69 The Book of War

In order to see off her neighbor and princess who married far away from the Northern Qi Dynasty, the snow-covered Rouran Khan Court held an unprecedented Naadam meeting.The melodious sound of the horse head qin, the Rouran girls singing and dancing, the witches prayed to the sky to sprinkle nectar, and chanted spells that Zimo could not understand.

Horse racing, archery riding, wrestling, horse lathering, the four seasons are reversed on this cold winter prairie because of the joy and enthusiasm of the Naadam Conference.

The soldiers of the Northern Qi Dynasty were very excited to see all kinds of games and sports competitions, so they also geared up to compete with the local Rouran people.

Zimo is a foodie, and he is very happy to see that he can encounter fresh and unique Rouran food just by walking a few steps.

She doesn't touch kumiss, other cheeses, beef and mutton dried meat, milk tofu, dried milk, yogurt, all are willing to come, holding bags of snacks in her hand, dangling happily.

It's too restrained in Yecheng, everyone here is crazy, and there is a lot of people's voices, who would notice how Xiao Zimo is so happy that she can't even think about it?Very good. . . . . .Zimo suddenly felt that her second uncle didn't treat her too badly. The ancient country Rouran is really a country full of mystery and charm. It is also a profit to come here.

Ah. . . . . .Murong Chong looked at Zi Mo Yichen not far away, but he really felt that Gao Changgong had two different appearances in front of him and behind him, no, it should be said that there were two people.In front of people, he behaves in a manner and is mature and prudent, and he is not offended by anyone who is not arrogant or domineering, but behind him, he shows his original shape, the sky is high and the earth is wide and free, and he looks like a fairy like a wandering cloud and a wild crane.

"Lord Gao, do you like this dried meat?" Murong Chong handed over a large bag of dried meat, and Xiao Zimo, who was concentrating on destroying snacks, was so frightened that he almost swallowed his breath.

"Cough cough cough...Mu...Young Master Murong...you...cough cough cough cough, what, why are you here?" Xiao Zimo covered his mouth, unable to even finish his sentence.In the Nadam meeting, Uncle Jiu was dragged by the neighbor and the princess to play together early in the morning. Just now, I saw Fu Jian Khan brought his attendants to watch the wrestling match with them. Why did Murong Chong appear here?

"Master Gao, eat slowly. How can you ruin your image just for a few packets of dried meat, a fairy-like person who doesn't eat fireworks?" Murong Chong sneered, and wiped the corners of Mo's mouth with his flamboyant finger .

Pa, Zimo jumped up while sitting on the ground, and the snacks stacked on his knees fell to the ground.

"Murong... Mr. Murong, I think I'm full, I'd better go and watch other people's games." Zi Mo wiped off his greasy lips, but it looked more like wiping. The traces of Murong Chong's fingers.

"Well, I'll go with you. Master Gao is not familiar with this place, what do you want to see, I'll take you there." Murong Chong followed Zimo.

. . . . . .Hey, as Gao Changgong, the minister of welcoming relatives in the Northern Qi Dynasty, Xiao Zimo thinks that it is unreasonable and unhelpful for the diplomatic relationship between the two countries to be too far away from people here, but. . . . . .Looking at Murong Chong's face, she felt uncomfortable all over.Probably because the number one beauty in the Northern Dynasties was too charming after drinking last night, Zimo was hopeless.

"Then, thank you, Mr. Murong..." Zi Mo clasped his fists and bowed in gratitude.That respectful look made Murong Chong raise his eyebrows: "Lord Gao is really a different person, it's really surprising."

Murong Chong put his hands behind his back and bluntly walked forward, Zi Mo was taken aback when he heard that, and asked, "What?"

"It's nothing, Mr. Gao, do you want more jerky?" Murong Chong hooked the jerky with his fingers, and shook it in front of Zi Mo's eyes, making her drool again.

Both Rouran and Turks are horseback ethnic groups, and they have maintained the tradition of raising and taming horses to breed excellent war horses all the year round.

In the center of the conference venue, a horn sounded.

Then crowds poured in from all directions, all rushing towards that place.

"What's the matter?" Zi Mo was puzzled.

"Heh, the wonderful event is about to begin, come here quickly, the horse harness competition is the most exciting event in Naadam!" Murong Chong said, then grabbed Zimo's hand and led her to run forward.

. . . . . .Zi Mo tried hard, but he couldn't pull it out, and Murong Chong retaliated and tightened it even more.

Zimo put his mind on the wrist wrestling with Murong Chong, suddenly gave a sharp bone whistle, and when he looked up, he was shocked by the scene of thousands of horses galloping from far to near.The strong sweaters on horseback, shirtless in the ice and snow, with ribbons tied around their waists, waving nooses in their hands, shouted and rushed towards the horses.After being driven away, the wild horses spread their hooves and galloped like the wind in the circular field surrounded by the fence.The warriors want to trap the untamed horses in the competition, and the horses don't want to surrender under the reins of humans at all. Therefore, the battle between man and horse is hearty and very enjoyable.

A warrior with a red turban on his head has already won the battle and captured seven fierce horses first.As soon as the sturdy horses with shiny fur were caught by him, they seemed to feel the man's mighty strength and mighty aura, so they obeyed obediently and were pulled into the stable by him one by one. became his trophy.People around cheered and applauded loudly, and the warrior was even more energetic, driving his horse around the field full of ambition.

"This man is so powerful." Xiao Zimo couldn't help saying.He has seen other people harness horses in Beimo, horses are spiritual animals, if they refuse to obey you, even the whip and iron claws may not necessarily obey.

"Well, this is Duolun, a famous warrior of the Rouran tribe, who wins the first place in the Naadam Conference every year." Murong Chong explained to Zimo, while giving the dark guards who were slowly approaching all around him a stern look.

Looking through the dark crowd, it turned out that Fu Jian was also watching the horse racing competition from a high position in the arena.

Duo Lun made a victory gesture and patrolled the audience. He was even more happy when he saw Khan and the princess watching his game, waving his arms and showing a bright smile.

Duo Lun's eyes suddenly stopped on the face of the strange man that the princess held tightly with both hands, that was King Changguang of the Northern Qi Dynasty. . . . . .This is Lin He's future husband-in-law? !

The warrior suddenly turned his horse around and swung the noose vigorously and fiercely. His eyes were like flames, and what was beating inside was resentful anger.

The long rope flew far away like a snake, and this time Duo Lun's goal was a horse with a pale gold body.The color of the horse's coat is even more extraordinary on a silver snow field, it is faint, like the light of a warm day.

"Come on Duolun warriors! This yellow rabbit has come out today, you must tame it~~~~~~~~~~~" Someone beside Zimo shouted towards the center of the field, very excited.

Seeing that Duo Lun found the pale gold horse, the other contestants also galloped towards the horse.This yellow horse has a face like a rabbit, hence the name.It is a wild horse among the horse herd, and I don't know where it came from. It arrived near the Khan Court two years ago, and then lived with the horses that have been multiplying here for generations.The wild horses in the Khan Court are all black and chestnut horses, and this light gold horse is very eye-catching when it comes. People have set up traps to catch it several times, but this animal is very smart. I missed it.At the Naadam Conference in previous years, the golden horse was hiding somewhere, and did not eat the bait sprinkled by people.Now that the grassland was covered by heavy snow, the horse was probably hungry, so he ate dry food with the horses and was lured into the competition arena.

All the warriors on the field took this pale gold horse as their prey, and chased it desperately together. The scene was extremely thrilling.The yellow rabbit runs extremely fast and has great stamina. Even if it is driven in turns to avoid the noose, it does not show signs of fatigue at all.Xiao Zimo couldn't take his eyes off it, sweating for the pale gold horse, he even forgot to wrestle with Murong Chong underneath, his palms were covered with sweat.

The edge of the arena where the horses are drawn is surrounded by a fence more than ten feet high with wooden stakes. Generally, horses will only lean against the fence and neigh when they are cornered, raising their hooves to resist, but that yellow rabbit is really different. Seeing About to be caught by Duolun's noose, he suddenly stepped on the snowy frozen soil and stepped on a wooden stake to soar into the air, as if a fish leaped over a dragon's gate, and the golden horse jumped sharply and landed firmly to escape from the enclosure!

The onlookers fled in all directions, and the pale gold horse ran wild like a madman, as if retaliating for the humiliation it suffered just now, and the dense crowd suddenly panicked.

"Ah~~~~~~~~~~Danger~~~~~~~" Zimo heard a scream, and she found that there were many children by the fence, and several of them fell down in the chaos, and they all cried stupidly Lying on the ground, he watched the wild horse pounced towards him like a flame.

"Ah~~~~~~~~~~~~" There was already someone screaming in horror while covering their eyes tightly.In the blink of an eye, Xiao Zimo tapped his toes to the ground, and jumped onto the back of the yellow rabbit horse like a sudden storm. The horse had never been ridden before, and it became even more crazy. It seemed that he wanted to knock the person on his back upside down.Zimo hugged the horse's neck tightly, and with both hands, he pulled up the front of the horse a little when the light gold horse was about to step on the children. The yellow rabbit was really spiritual, and it didn't step on the ground at all. The little child, with a kick on his hind feet, soared into the air, long enough to leap over the place where someone fell.

Zimo hugged the horse and galloped for tens of meters before slowing down a little. The horse growled and ran more and more steadily, but it was not as restless as before.

When Zimo stopped while driving the light golden horse, Rouran soldiers with spears rushed up all around. Zimo stroked the horse's mane and comforted it so that it would not be afraid.

"Chang Gong! Chang Gong, are you okay!!" Uncle Jiu rode over and chased after him. He saw Zi Mo jump on the back of the fierce horse, and couldn't wait for Fu Jian to send troops to help, so he drove a horse alone. Chase over.

"Uncle Jiu, I'm fine." Zi Mo got off his horse and stroked the yellow rabbit's head.

When Linhe Princess, Fu Jian, Duan Shen and Duan Yi came, what they saw was Gao Zhan holding Zimo's arm tightly, looking back and forth, his eyes were as tense as if a little force would make him lose his grip. It will be broken.And the pale golden horse stayed aside docilely, gnawing on the grass buds on the ground, completely different from the violent one just now.

The neighbor and the princess bowed their heads silently. She was a little displeased with the situation.

"Lord Gao, has this horse been tamed?" Murong Chong rode the horse for a leisurely walk in the court, and came slowly.

"Ah? Well... probably, it seems to understand what I say, so it's not aggressive with me." Zimo patted the yellow rabbit's back and said with a smile.

"Haha, Mr. Gao is really a strange person, this makes this beast so wild!" Fu Jian said.

"Da Khan, this horse is related to my nephew Chang Gong. Gao Zhan begged Da Khan to give this BMW to my nephew Chang Gong. Is it possible?" Uncle Jiu said.

"This..." Fu Jian glanced at the pale gold horse, and ran all the way, the mane of the horse's neck had already secreted a layer of blood-like sweat, this is an out-and-out Pegasus horse , extremely precious. . . . . .

"Khan, absolutely not! This yellow rabbit is my Rouran's BMW, how can I give it to others so easily!" It was the warrior Duo Lun who came on horseback who spoke, and he watched the yellow rabbit obediently standing beside Zimo. He was already displeased, but when he heard that Gao Zhan was begging Fu Jian for the horse, he became even more annoyed.Is the prince of Northern Qi really great?Why did Rouran present all the precious things like this, the most beautiful neighbor and princess of the Khan court are leaving, is it even taking away the BMW? !Duo Lun looked at the bewildered eyes of his neighbor and the princess, and refused to give up even more.

"The treasures of our Rouran are all godsends. How can they be handed over to foreigners for no reason. His Highness Changguang Wang, I think His Highness, as the husband-in-law of our neighbor and the princess, is a nobleman of the Northern Qi Dynasty. The best in riding and archery must also be a master in riding and archery. If King Changguang really wants this BMW, then it is better than this. I, Duolun, challenge His Royal Highness Changguang. If His Royal Highness can compete with me for three rounds, And if you win against me, then I, Duolun, will be happy to surrender, and I, Rouran, a warrior, will also be convinced, and voluntarily give this day-bestowed BMW as a gift. "

"Duo Lun!" Fu Jian yelled, he naturally understood Duo Lun's thoughts, the marriage between the princess and the princess broke the heart of the iron-blooded man of the Rouran tribe, and now he is taking the opportunity to marry Gao Zhan It was only after a fair comparison that he was willing to swallow this breath.

"Duo Lun, what are you doing! What are you competing with? You are just a horse. Will His Highness Chang Guang fight with you for this?!" The neighbor and the princess were very angry. A future husband-in-law.And her attitude pierced Duo Lun's spine even more, and the man glared at Gao Zhan angrily, full of murderous aura.

Duo Lun was the son of an elder of the Rouran tribe, and his status in the tribe was very noble. Although Fu Jian was a profuse khan, if he leaned too much towards the Northern Qi side, he would be a bit of a fool.Besides, [-] war horses have been prepared. This astronomical number of horses is Rouran's greatest sincerity in paying tribute to Northern Qi. It would be a bit of a disadvantage if they even let them take the yellow rabbit back.Fu Jian thought about it, and hesitated for a while how to calm down the situation.

Gao Zhan's face was very ugly, and his eyes were sullen.Being provoked this time, if he fought timidly, he would have humiliated Daqi.Pulling a horse under Gao Shen, King Changguang was about to jump on the horse, when suddenly, the reins were snatched away.

"Khan, this warrior, my ninth uncle and the princess's wedding is coming soon, if there is any difference in this fight, it will be disadvantageous for both Yu Daqi and Rouran. Although my riding and archery skills are not as good as my ninth uncle's ten thousand One part of it, but I have also assumed the responsibility of the minister of welcoming the bride, so I have to share the worries of my ninth uncle, the groom." Zimo shook the horse's rope with one hand, and jumped on the horse like a fly, "Northern Qi Gao Changgong, I wish King Dai Changguang accepts the war letter from the Duolun warriors, how to compare and where to compare, it is up to you!"

Xiao Zimo clasped his fists in salute, and received Duo Lun's declaration of war.
