Purple Eyes - King of the World
Chapter 1 Eyes Like Amethyst
Pi's fingers caressed my cheek.
Where those fingers passed, I shuddered.
"Father," I felt my voice tremble a little.
"Huan'er, come to my side, get closer." His voice was very old, and the illness had tortured him beyond recognition.
I leaned down and got very close to his face. His arms wrapped around my neck, and he pressed a kiss on my lips. It was so desperate, it was a light peck, but I already felt the warmth of that light kiss. deep affection.
There were bloodshot eyes in his slightly cloudy eyes, and I was stunned by the crystal flickering. My father actually cried. I wiped the tears on his cheeks and the corners of his eyes with trembling hands.
"Father...what's the matter with you?" I stuttered and couldn't even finish my sentence. Maybe it was his desperate and sad appearance that made me panic.
"I also want to hug you in my dream. My father is old, and I don't even have the strength to hug you."
After listening to him, I was even more at a loss.
The old man in front of me, although he has done many things to hurt me and my mother before, at this moment, I still can't bear to see him so desperate and sad, maybe my heart is too soft to hurt me for such a person people are sad.
I hate my soft heart, I have thousands of opportunities to kill him, but I can't do it, I really hate myself for being so weak.
I lost my mind and walked down the luxurious and gorgeous road of the palace, even forgetting my way back. Suddenly, a man with an anxious look stopped my way and grabbed my hand suddenly.
Second brother!At this time, he is the only one who will worry about me.
"Juanhuan!" He hugged me eagerly and caringly, stroking my messy long hair with his fingers, I couldn't bear to look at the worry and heartache in his eyes, he pushed me away a little, and tidied up my hair Still slightly disheveled, his fingers stayed on my slender neck that had been bitten black and black for a while, then slid onto my somewhat red, swollen and bleeding lips, tapped lightly with the ball of his finger, and placed it on his own lips, he The ambiguous movements made me lose my mind.
"It must be that damned old guy." The look of his voice turned into an abnormal frenzy in an instant: "The scourge of the old immortal should have died long ago, and came to kill me." His knuckles were clacking Straight ring.
I was stunned by his sudden change. Even though my father was wrong in every way, he couldn't slander him like this.I was about to turn against him, but his expression suddenly changed back in an instant: "Jehuan is fine, go back and rest."
"Your Highness, are you alright?" After stumbling back to Luoyun Palace, Xiaoyan worriedly supported my precarious body.
"It's okay, I'm just sleepy." I fell on the bed, leaned on the quilt, closed my eyes,
"Go and prepare some warm water, bring it in, I want to take a bath." I said to Xiaoxiao.
The water came and was placed in the Luoyun Temple. Xiaoxiao waited on me, helped me take off my clothes, and helped me lie in the hot water. I closed my eyes, and the pleasant water temperature relieved my discomfort.
Suddenly hearing a low sobbing sound, I opened my eyes, and was a little surprised to see the way Xiaoxiao was weeping while suppressing her voice.
"What's the matter?" I asked her softly while holding her little oval face.
"It's been so long, but I still feel sad. Why should such a good person, His Highness, suffer like this?"
This silly boy was actually worried about me.
"It's nothing, don't think too much, I'm fine, really." She was obviously the one who was hurt, but she still wanted to persuade her.
"Also said it's okay." She turned her face suddenly, her tearful eyes were full of pity.
"It's okay, don't worry." I comforted her softly.
"He said it's okay!" Her eyes turned red, and she lowered her head.
Xiaoxiao suddenly stood up, turned around, and took off the clothes on her body one by one, revealing her smooth and delicate snowy back in front of me.
"Your Highness." She turned around with tears in her eyes.
"What are you doing?!" I hurriedly got up to help her put on her clothes, and held her tightly in my arms, her thin body was still shaking.
"Why are you so stupid!" I sighed for a long time, there is someone who is willing to follow me like this, willing to care about everything for me, no one will not be touched.
That night, I suddenly felt a little irritable and didn't want to sleep, so I wanted to take advantage of the moonlight to breathe in the imperial garden by myself.
Just sitting down under a big locust tree, I suddenly heard someone talking in a low voice. I hid behind the tree and put my ear to it, carefully listening to what they said.
"It's all done, this time the amount is enough for that old ghost to die ten times." A low hoarse and feminine male voice sounded.
I was startled, I recognized this voice, it was the eunuch in charge of the imperial dining room.
"It's done well, it's done, and it will definitely benefit you if I sit on the throne."
That voice was all too familiar.
It's Brother Two!
Suddenly, my head was blurred, as if I had been blasted by thunder, I stood there blankly and almost fell.
I stood in the rain with a pale face, unable to say a word.
***
It was a thunderstorm day again, the clouds were overcast, followed by heavy rain, and lightning exploded in front of my eyes with the roar of thunder.The sky was brightly illuminated by the lightning bolts in an instant, and then darkened in an instant.
I took a paper umbrella and stood in the rain, and before I knew it, I went to the back garden again.
Standing alone in the rain, the rain is flowing down his hair and face, Brother Er Huang, the last person I want to see.I turned around and was about to leave when he grabbed my sleeve.
"Extreme joy!" His voice was filled with unbearable sadness. "Why?"
He is still asking me why, I should be the one to ask this sentence, I don’t want to say anything, maybe I’m too weak, I’d rather forgive all those who hurt me than learn to hate, I don’t know what to believe Who made me lose Fengxiang, this is the only thing I have to worry about.
"Let go of me!" I said to him coldly.
"Juanhuan~" He pulled my clothes and pulled me in front of him: "Why don't you see me, you know..." His fingers stroked my cheek, I think of you every day, even if When discussing matters in the court, your face is always shaking in your mind. "
I snorted coldly, those people kept saying they love me, what do they love about me?
If it's just this different appearance from ordinary people, how can it be called love? While saying that you love me, but at the same time hurting me, can this also be called love?
"You know, don't you?" His voice suddenly became sharp.
"You know what you have done yourself." I turned around and said to him coldly.
"I did all this for you!" His voice became even more hysterical.
for me? !This is a big joke!For me, I threw my head back and laughed.
"Since you were a child, looking at me with big watery eyes, as if you were about to cry at any time, I swore to protect you, from childhood to adulthood, so no one who bullies you can live, Even if it's Prince Yao, Prince Jing, my own younger brother, I can't let them go."
"Prince Yao and Prince Jing were indeed killed by you!" I said coldly.
"Not bad!"
"Father..."
"It's me too." He said in a deep voice, the sudden lightning illuminated his face strangely, like a demon at night.
"You...why do you do this? It's a beast! No! Ru!"
He laughed loudly, his pale face made even more hideous by the light of the lightning.
"Beasts are worse, do you know what real beasts are?" The ghostly voice made it hard to imagine that this was my gentle and gentle second brother: "That old ghost treated you like that, and you still defend him like this!"
I stood in the rain with a pale face, unable to say a word.
"Huan'er, do you know?" The second elder brother's pale face was covered with rain, and his thin and cold fingers were tightly grasping my clothes. I was so close, and I saw the expression in his usually calm amber eyes. The burning flame of madness: "Do you know? Huan'er, do you know how painful I am? Because I love you! Because I love you!"
The second brother pressed me against the cold wall of the imperial garden, and kissed my lips deeply.The desperate pain seemed to burst out of my chest,
"There will be no one else anymore. I want to get rid of that old guy. You are mine now, Huan'er. They should stop trying to touch you. From now on, Huan'er, you belong to me alone."
He bit my lip like a crazy little beast, biting hotly.
Crazy, all crazy!This palace is full of lunatics!
All crazy, I must get out of here, or I will go crazy myself.
I pushed my second brother away and ran out in the heavy rain...
…………
It's a crazy world, I feel like they're all crazy, and I'm on the verge of madness, my father, my brothers' faces are like beasts in my head, and they It's like I'm pounced on, trying to tear me apart, I can't breathe, it's like a nightmare...
I ran back to my bedroom in the rain, closed the door, leaned against the door and panted, a person's face dangled in front of my eyes, making me sad, Feng Xiang, I misunderstood him, he may be an extraordinary person, But it didn't harm my relatives. In this cruel and responsible court, our hearts can't judge at all. Those who look the most kind are the most terrifying. This deep court is like a big net, covering me In it, I can't break free, and I seem to find an outlet to breathe the fresh air outside...
I closed myself in a shell and pretended to be very decadent and depraved every day. I wanted to forget this terrible palace, this hypocritical and dark place where there was no light. I wanted to let go of everything and not think about anything. I was drunk every day. In Huajie, intoxicated by alcohol, I always pretended to be drunk when my father asked me to see him, and I always avoided seeing my second brother when he came to see me, but I still felt suffocated. Want to leave here, leave forever!
In the 32nd year of Tiande, the powerful northern neighbor Beiwu kept harassing Maolin, Fengye and other border towns. The national treasury is empty, just after several cities were captured by powerful enemies, the people in the government and the people are panicked, everyone is terrified, and the peaceful court has been corrupted over the years. There are no generals who can fight, and the soldiers are all like ruffians. Among the government and the opposition, there is almost no voice of the main battle. There are only a few old generals who encourage the war, but those who seek peace, cede land, pay tribute, and even have the idea of marriage. Unfortunately, I only have two older sisters. He was already married, and the young ones were all princes, and those ministers even complained that there was no princess to marry at this critical time.
"Your Majesty." It was Doctor Guanglu who came forward to offer his words: "Why don't you use the prince as a pledge to show my sincerity in seeking peace in Xiling?"
At this time, all the civil and military officials in the court looked at me.
I have always stood in the most inconspicuous corner, with my head down, and I don't want anyone to notice me, because I understand that this is my way of survival. If I want to survive in this dark palace, I must hide myself edge.
I saw those ironic smiling faces, those longings, those reliefs, and there were too many emotions hidden in those faces. Maybe they all thought that I, a cowardly, incompetent, decadent and drunk prince, could finally be useful, maybe This is 'waste utilization', waste like me can save their lives, isn't it very cost-effective!
But when I heard this proposal, my heart skipped a beat. Maybe this is what I have been longing for for a long time. This opportunity is finally coming. Although the road to Beiwu is full of hardships and dangers, it is already decadent for me. My life is nothing, and this is my only chance to escape!free!The free sky I long for seems so close to me!
The ministers were all looking at each other, and at this moment I seemed to be their life-saving straw.
I saw the expression on the father's face suddenly changed on the golden chair. He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything in the end.
Seeing his attitude, the ministers would not give up this good opportunity to say: "Doctor Guanglu is right! Now that the country is in crisis, it is time for His Royal Highness to contribute to our Xiling Kingdom. Beiwu Kingdom sees me Xiling is so sincere and willing to sacrifice a country's prince as a hostage, it will definitely stop the invasion of the north..."
"Okay, that's it, you can discuss the offerings to Beiwu." Father stood up and walked out of the hall.
No matter what, in his heart, life is more important than anything else, and everything else can be sacrificed, including me. I stand there, with mixed feelings in my heart...
The rain in Lingdu has never stopped. I stood in the rain with an umbrella and looked at the street market in the rain.
Soon I will go to Beiwu Kingdom to be the hostage for peace. After all, I am still just a pawn in their hands. I long for that free life. The rain has been silting up in my heart like smoke that cannot be dispersed, for a long time...
"Do you just want to run away like that? Do you just want to leave me like that?" I heard a deep and hoarse voice, and I knew it was the second brother standing behind me without turning around: "Let's rebel, I don't want to see that The old guy just pushed you into the fire pit."
"But why do I feel like I'm in a fire pit right now." I turned my head to look at him, but saw that his outstretched hand stopped, and his eyes were full of hurt.
"But we can work together to change the dynasty!" He grabbed me, and after a long hesitation, his steel-like arms wrapped around my waist.
"That's just what you think, I'm not interested at all." It took me a lot of effort to push him away: "What I want most now is to go to Beiwu to be my proton."
"Juanhuan, come back!"
I've been far away and still hear him calling me from behind:
"Don't you feel my heart at all? Do you really want to leave so much? Or are you just willing to be his pawn?!"
"Maybe they are all." I turned my head and smiled: "No matter what, I am just a chess piece that you can use in your eyes, am I not?!"
"No, never, in my heart you have never been a pawn!"
"I'm so tired, really, so tired. I just want to go to Saibei and see Qinghai Lake in my dream."
I turned and walked in that rain and never looked back.
……
The tributes were ready soon, and I took the tributes on the road. The sky in Saibei was very blue and the wind was strong, which is what I longed for, and I also saw the Saibei in my dream, on the plateau in my dream The emerald of Qinghai Lake.
Surrounded by four majestic mountains, Qinghai Lake is like a huge emerald plate embedded between the mountains and grasslands...
Beyond the Great Wall
The tributes were ready soon, and I took the tributes on the road. The sky in Saibei was very blue and the wind was strong, which is what I longed for, and I also saw the Saibei in my dream, on the plateau in my dream The emerald of Qinghai Lake.
Surrounded by four majestic mountains, Qinghai Lake is like a huge emerald jade plate embedded between the mountains and grasslands... forming a magnificent and beautiful scenery where mountains, lakes and grasslands complement each other; in summer and autumn, Qinghai The mountains and rivers beside the lake are beautiful, and the vast undulating grassland is like a thick green carpet. Countless cattle, sheep, and horses are like colorful mottled pearls scattered all over the grassland, and there is a large area of neat and picturesque farmland by the lake. Toss and the cauliflower pans golden.When the cold winter comes, Qinghai Lake is covered with ice and jade, and covered with silver, like a huge mirror, shining brightly in the sun.
……
Sitting in the sedan chair, the outside is full of wind and sand. The vast wilderness in the north is full of loess and gray sand. Even the few mountain peaks that I pass by by chance are bare, with dry and cracked rocks exposed.I have been sitting on a sedan chair and walking on the road to Beidi for a month, and the destination is still indefinitely far away. Even though I have a good temper, I still feel a little bored, but I understand that as a delivery person It is better for the proton of the enemy country to avoid trouble under the eyes of others.
The changes in the palace are really unpredictable. The father is still seriously ill, and he is worried about the situation of thousands of wolves and tigers in the palace. Internal worries are not enough, and now foreign troubles are added. The Peace Faction has gained the upper hand, and wants to offer generous gifts to the Beiwu Kingdom. The Beiwu Kingdom wants to use the crown prince as a hostage and not violate the border for the time being. .
Although the servile attitude of those people is annoying, but for me, a puppet prince, it doesn't matter where I stay. Instead of waiting for them to be slaughtered in the middle of the court, I might as well go to the outside of the Great Wall to steal the wind. Anyway, this luxurious Xijing I Already tired of it.
After walking for a long time, the closer he was to the outside of the Great Wall, the more desolate he looked.I wondered in my heart why such a barren land in the North has become such a powerful country, and the Central Plains is rich in fishing and rice, but it has ended in a state of withering talents and being slaughtered by others.
Suddenly there was a jolt, and there was a commotion outside the sedan chair.
Lifting up the sedan chair curtain, one can see dozens of galloping horses galloping in the yellow sand. The strong men on the horses are all unusually tall, holding a machete, and the clothes on their bodies look like barbarians. Come, go on a rampage, among hundreds of so-called Xibai elite soldiers, it's like entering a no-man's land.
They rolled up the boxes thrown on the ground by the soldiers who fled in a hurry. These are all the tributes from our Xibai Kingdom to Beiwu Kingdom. There are hundreds of pearls, hundreds of silks and satins, gold, silver and other treasures. Xibaizhili was thinking in his heart that these gangsters are really lucky, and they can get such a lot of treasure without any effort.
Suddenly I felt a little uncomfortable, and a sharp gaze in the crowd was staring at me.
Looking up, that man seems to be the leader of this group of gangsters, a man who has never seen such a tall man, his eyes are blue like jewels, and his hair is dark brown and long, draped over his shoulders He has wavy hair, a jewel-encrusted forehead on his forehead, and his swollen right arm is exposed by the slanted skirt. His blue eyes are staring at me like a raging fire.It makes me feel that the sharp edge is stabbing, and the whole person feels like being burned.
"Are you from the West?" the barbarian asked me in a strange tone that was not fluent.
"Yes, I'm from the West." I replied frankly, thinking that these people were able to find our tracks. It seems that they are not so simple bandits, and they should have premeditated.
"Then why don't you run away?" the barbarian then asked.
"Why should I run away?" I was a little puzzled.
"They all escaped, won't you escape?"
Sad to say, hundreds of soldiers known as Xibai's elite abandoned their helmets and armor in a moment, and fled without a trace, and this Xibai prince had to explain to these barbarians why he did not flee.Speaking of it, I really want to thank my father's general for training such a team.
"If they have all escaped, do I have to escape?" I didn't know that these Hu people were tough, but I didn't feel any fear at all. Compared with them, the conspiracy hidden in the hearts of those gentle Western white people in the capital was a hundred times more terrifying.
In fact, it's ridiculous. I don't run away not because of other things, but because I am lazy. I was carried by those people. It is really difficult for me to walk back after such a thousand miles. It was not easy to get to the nearest town, and besides, I had no silver with me, and I was afraid I couldn't buy horses, and I might as well live in an inn, provided I didn't starve to death.
"You are a Western white, aren't you afraid that we will kill you?"
I really want the leader of the robbers to stop talking, because his tone of voice is really uncomfortable, and it takes more effort than not to say it.
And those barbarian strong men around him have already raised their scimitars, as if they were about to slash at me in an instant.
"If you wanted to kill, you would have killed it long ago, so why wait until now." I smiled and said to him.
The Hu man also smiled, his sapphire-like eyes shining brightly under the sun.
"This Western white man is interesting, take him back!"
-------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------
"Chilechuan, under the Yin Mountain. The sky is like a dome, covering the four fields. The sky is blue, the fields are vast, and the wind blows the grass and the cattle and sheep can be seen."
—— "Chile Song"
The morning sun is slightly dew, and the smoke from the kitchen drives away the slightest chill.
In front of the circular yurt, there is a burst of fragrance of kumiss.
On the prairie, rolling, green grass, flat and open forest grassland, the hillside riverside is full of pearl-like flocks, flocks of sheep only move slowly, the smoke from the yurts curls up, and the sound of camels echoes in the valley And the singing of the shepherd, the melodious idyll echoed for a long time.
There was a sound of hoofbeats, a pair of knights galloped on the grassland, and the wolf totem flag on the horses fluttered in the wind.
The leading knight has a vigorous physique, swaying rebelliously, his dark brown curly hair is facing the wind, and the sweaty horse under him is also extremely jubilant.
This vast green grassland stretches to the horizon like a boundless one. If I had never left the capital, I would never know that the sky outside is so blue, and there are so many different ethnic groups, customs, and lives under the sky.
In the evening, around the bonfire, everyone drank kumiss, ate hand-caught mutton, and sang and danced.I also sat down on the grass with everyone calmly and ate it with big mouthfuls.I sat and watched everyone singing and dancing, when a barbarian woman with a cheek as red as an apple took my hand and invited me to dance together.
"My name is Jijina, what about you?" the Hu woman asked me, blinking her eyes shyly.
"Nakeze" I remembered the Hu name given to me by the leader of the Hu people.
Ashinajie, the Da Yueshi Khan of the Turkic tribe, a robber leader actually has such a background. Now a tribe outside the Great Wall that is active on the border of the Beiwu Kingdom is also fierce and abnormal, but they suffer from the Beiwu Kingdom just like the people in the Central Plains. Due to the threat of the threat, the Beiwu Kingdom is ambitious and wants to unify the countries. It goes to the east to fight the Dongqing Kingdom, and to the west to drive the West Bai Kingdom to become a vassal.Like expelling the Turkic Da Yuezhi, Dawan, Kangju, and Wusun countries to the north.
Ashinajie hijacked the tributes and hostages from Xibai Kingdom to Beiwu Kingdom. I am afraid his intention is not simple. If Beiwu Kingdom goes to war with Dongqing Kingdom and Xibai Kingdom at the same time, then Da Yuezhi can join Dawan and Wusun Waiting for the country to compete with Beiwu country in Mobei together, this is a good plan.
"Are you really from West Baiguo?" Ji Jina asked me, her long curly hair was scattered to her waist, shining golden light in the firelight.
"Yeah, what? Don't I look like it?"
"The outline is slender and beautiful, but the eyes and hair color are different from the Western white people I have ever seen."
"Is it weird?" I asked a little self-consciously. If I cleared my appearance, I might be regarded as a monster wherever I go.
"No, we Turkic people have many blue eyes, green eyes, golden eyes, and blond, black, brown, and red hair. It's just that the western whites I've seen all have black eyes and black hair."
Turkic people have so many strange looks, I can't help but wonder if I also have foreign blood. I heard them say that my mother and concubine are from Nanzhu, but are there some strange ones?
"Juanhuan!" I heard a familiar voice calling me, turned my head to look, but saw Ashinajie sitting by the campfire drinking and waving to me.
"Gigina, the headman called me, I'll go there first, and I'll find you another day."
"Yeah." Gigina stuffed a beautiful totem ornament into my hand, lowered her head and ran away shyly.
Walking to Ashinajie, sat down beside him, picked up the kumiss and took a sip.
"Brother Juan Huan, are you still used to living here?"
"It's very good here! I'm used to it." While drinking, I grabbed the meat and stuffed it into my mouth, and gave him a silly smile.
"Brother Ke Ze adapted quite quickly, and I will take you to the snow mountain for hunting in a few days." He glanced at me again: "Look at your body, you are too thin, it's time to practice, our Da Yueshi The men here are strong and brave, and you can show off when the Naadam is held in a few months.
"Nadam?"
"It's the Jockey Club. The Jockey Club is our traditional festival. Every July and August, we choose to hold a grand "Nadam" meeting on a flat, open grassland surrounded by mountains and rivers. Excellent riding and shooting. People who are good at horse training, horse racing, archery and wrestling are respected by the people. Horse racing is the main activity of the Naadam Festival. During the horse racing, hundreds of people from all directions gather at the racecourse to watch the game. Drums and flags are beating, cheering and cheering. Riders ride their well-fed and well-groomed horses to compete fiercely with their opponents. The atmosphere on the field is extremely enthusiastic. After the competition, the winners will be rewarded. "
I looked at his face in the firelight, he spoke happily, and I could see his pride in his own nation from his expression.The Turkic people have a very genuine temperament, and it is very easy to get along with them, because most of them are straight-hearted, loyal and hard-working men.Huoguang found his face, the tall and straight outline appeared more handsome, and the blue eyes were also exceptionally bright.
"If you want to participate in the Naadam competition, you have to train the horse first. Get up early tomorrow, and I will take you to see it."
"Horse training?" It sounds dangerous and exciting.
"Horse training is a unique skill. In Da Yuezhi, only a brave and quick-witted rider can do it. Most of the horses tamed are raw horses, and it is difficult for ordinary people to subdue them. Raw horses that have never been ridden have violent personalities. See People kick and bite and cannot get close to it. It needs a skilled and brave rider to tame it. This kind of thrilling horse training can only be done by the bravest rider, so we have regarded it as the glory and honor of riders throughout the ages. pride."
"Where did this come from?" Ashinajie suddenly saw the other beautiful totem ornament on my waist, which was just given to me by Ji Gina. It seemed very special, but I didn't understand its meaning.
"A girl gave it to me during the dance."
"who?"
"A girl called Gigina."
Ashinajie suddenly looked at me with an ambiguous look.
"You're not a bad boy. A girl showed her love to you when you first came here. Gigina is a well-known beautiful girl here. Do you know how many boys chased her but didn't agree?"
"Big brother must have misunderstood. I think she may not mean that."
Ashinajie picked up the totem ornament and said to me: "In our Da Yuezhi, this kind of ornament engraved with the family totem is not given away casually. Young girls and boys give it to their sweethearts." As a token of love."
"No way?" I suddenly regretted that I accepted such a precious thing so easily. It is impossible for a person like me to give people happiness, so why bother them.
"At the night of the bonfire, when a girl gives the ornament to the man she likes, it means that she will wait for the man in her tent at night to spend the spring night together." Ashinajie continued.
My eyes were wide open, no way, I was surprised that a barbarian woman could be so open.
"We're just meeting for the first time, so it's impossible." I didn't expect that I would also have this kind of awkwardness, and even stuttered when I spoke.
Ashinajie looked at me and laughed loudly: "Our Da Yuezhi women are very bold and brave. When they see someone they like, even if it is the first time they meet, they will speak up without hesitation. Don't let me down." Oh, the kindness of people!"
I sat there blankly, staring at the fire in a daze, this time I was destined to let her down.
***
In the early morning, the sky has just dawned. On the vast prairie, the sky is magnificent and beautiful. The banks of the Gele River, cattle, sheep, and horses form a beautiful picture.
A wild horse galloped happily in the morning sun, and I was fascinated by watching it from afar.It is so beautiful, its pure black hair is as beautiful as silk and satin, it is natural, the wild horse raised its head to the sky and let out a long neigh, and its long black mane fluttered in the morning wind of the grassland.It is so beautiful that it makes people's heart beat.
I rode over, and the black wild horse immediately became nervous and shot out like an arrow.
Suddenly, there seemed to be an innate wildness that boiled in my blood like a flame, and I threw the rope in my hand, and the rope was floating in the air, with a sound of wind.The moment the wild horse passed by me, I jumped suddenly, and when I got behind it, it retreated sharply, jumping and scurrying, trying to pass me.The moment it turned around, a reverse cut edge of the noose landed on the little black horse's head. I shook it hard, and the noose jumped and slid into its neck.The beautiful wild horse stood upright and neighed.
The wild horse jumped wildly, shaking vigorously, trying to shake off the rope.I pulled the rope violently, and jumped onto the horse’s back. It rolled and galloped forward, and the wind whizzed by my ears. Several times I was almost thrown off the horse’s back by it. I never knew With my own talent and strength, I clenched my teeth and held on to it, seeing how it leaped wildly until it slowed down exhausted, and slowly humped me to the Gele River to drink water.
"Juanhuan!" When I heard the shout on the grassland, I was already riding the newly tamed black horse back.
I saw Ashinajie riding his fiery red horse waving to me,
He rode a horse and stood against the wind on the grassland.
"This horse?!" His eyes were as amazed as when I first saw it.
"Just caught." I said to him with a smile.
"You really are the most talented rider I've ever met."
The festive atmosphere in the tribe is getting stronger and stronger, because the biggest annual "Nadamousai" will be held in a few days
The Naadam Conference is very grand. "Nadam" means "entertainment, game", and is used to express the joy of harvest.Naadam is an annual traditional event on the grassland. The main competitions are horse riding, archery and wrestling, which are collectively referred to as the "three arts of men".
Whenever the Grassland Naadam Conference is held, herdsmen with a radius of one or two hundred miles will wear festive costumes, take care of the old and the young, bring oboos and daily necessities, and come to the meeting by car and horse from all directions.Trade vendors from far and near also came to set up shops, selling daily necessities and purchasing livestock products.
The wrestling competition is the most eye-catching item of the Naadam Conference.Wrestler, called "Bu Heqin".Most of them are burly boys.Bu Heqin wears "Zhuo Duoge" inlaid with copper nails on his upper body, fat wrestling pants on his lower body, traditional Burial boots on his feet, and a red, blue, and yellow turban on his head.Wearing this kind of wrestling suit, no matter how fierce your feet are, you will not hurt people or damage your clothes even if you tear, grab, grab, hook, or trip.
blue eagle first encounter
At the beginning of the competition, several prestigious elders led the wrestlers to hold an entrance ceremony.At this moment, vigorous and majestic wrestling songs began to be sung on the field, cheering for Bu He who was about to fight.At this time, Bu Heqin imitated the movements of an eagle, danced the eagle dance, straightened his waist and chest, and swung his arms up and down, making the posture of an eagle spreading its wings, symbolizing the mighty eagle, and leaping into the arena.
When the two Bukhins met, they slowly approached each other like bulls released to fight, bent forward, squinted, and shot frightening eyes. They turned around the wrestling field, looking very vigilantly Waiting for the opportunity, they eagerly clasped their hands together, sometimes attacking forward, sometimes dodging aside, waiting for the opportunity, and suddenly wrestled.As long as one move is successful, this wrestling will end in an instant.However, there are also differences.The two Bu Heqin twisted and wrestled each other, and the tall and powerful one grabbed the short and light belt, swung it up and spun it non-stop, trying to make the other party lose its balance and control, and then slammed the other side down.Unexpectedly, no matter how you spin this short and light person, how you raise your head and turn, when you fall to the ground, he will immediately take root and stand firmly, and even when the opponent is exhausted from spinning, he will use it lightly. stumbling, just
Where those fingers passed, I shuddered.
"Father," I felt my voice tremble a little.
"Huan'er, come to my side, get closer." His voice was very old, and the illness had tortured him beyond recognition.
I leaned down and got very close to his face. His arms wrapped around my neck, and he pressed a kiss on my lips. It was so desperate, it was a light peck, but I already felt the warmth of that light kiss. deep affection.
There were bloodshot eyes in his slightly cloudy eyes, and I was stunned by the crystal flickering. My father actually cried. I wiped the tears on his cheeks and the corners of his eyes with trembling hands.
"Father...what's the matter with you?" I stuttered and couldn't even finish my sentence. Maybe it was his desperate and sad appearance that made me panic.
"I also want to hug you in my dream. My father is old, and I don't even have the strength to hug you."
After listening to him, I was even more at a loss.
The old man in front of me, although he has done many things to hurt me and my mother before, at this moment, I still can't bear to see him so desperate and sad, maybe my heart is too soft to hurt me for such a person people are sad.
I hate my soft heart, I have thousands of opportunities to kill him, but I can't do it, I really hate myself for being so weak.
I lost my mind and walked down the luxurious and gorgeous road of the palace, even forgetting my way back. Suddenly, a man with an anxious look stopped my way and grabbed my hand suddenly.
Second brother!At this time, he is the only one who will worry about me.
"Juanhuan!" He hugged me eagerly and caringly, stroking my messy long hair with his fingers, I couldn't bear to look at the worry and heartache in his eyes, he pushed me away a little, and tidied up my hair Still slightly disheveled, his fingers stayed on my slender neck that had been bitten black and black for a while, then slid onto my somewhat red, swollen and bleeding lips, tapped lightly with the ball of his finger, and placed it on his own lips, he The ambiguous movements made me lose my mind.
"It must be that damned old guy." The look of his voice turned into an abnormal frenzy in an instant: "The scourge of the old immortal should have died long ago, and came to kill me." His knuckles were clacking Straight ring.
I was stunned by his sudden change. Even though my father was wrong in every way, he couldn't slander him like this.I was about to turn against him, but his expression suddenly changed back in an instant: "Jehuan is fine, go back and rest."
"Your Highness, are you alright?" After stumbling back to Luoyun Palace, Xiaoyan worriedly supported my precarious body.
"It's okay, I'm just sleepy." I fell on the bed, leaned on the quilt, closed my eyes,
"Go and prepare some warm water, bring it in, I want to take a bath." I said to Xiaoxiao.
The water came and was placed in the Luoyun Temple. Xiaoxiao waited on me, helped me take off my clothes, and helped me lie in the hot water. I closed my eyes, and the pleasant water temperature relieved my discomfort.
Suddenly hearing a low sobbing sound, I opened my eyes, and was a little surprised to see the way Xiaoxiao was weeping while suppressing her voice.
"What's the matter?" I asked her softly while holding her little oval face.
"It's been so long, but I still feel sad. Why should such a good person, His Highness, suffer like this?"
This silly boy was actually worried about me.
"It's nothing, don't think too much, I'm fine, really." She was obviously the one who was hurt, but she still wanted to persuade her.
"Also said it's okay." She turned her face suddenly, her tearful eyes were full of pity.
"It's okay, don't worry." I comforted her softly.
"He said it's okay!" Her eyes turned red, and she lowered her head.
Xiaoxiao suddenly stood up, turned around, and took off the clothes on her body one by one, revealing her smooth and delicate snowy back in front of me.
"Your Highness." She turned around with tears in her eyes.
"What are you doing?!" I hurriedly got up to help her put on her clothes, and held her tightly in my arms, her thin body was still shaking.
"Why are you so stupid!" I sighed for a long time, there is someone who is willing to follow me like this, willing to care about everything for me, no one will not be touched.
That night, I suddenly felt a little irritable and didn't want to sleep, so I wanted to take advantage of the moonlight to breathe in the imperial garden by myself.
Just sitting down under a big locust tree, I suddenly heard someone talking in a low voice. I hid behind the tree and put my ear to it, carefully listening to what they said.
"It's all done, this time the amount is enough for that old ghost to die ten times." A low hoarse and feminine male voice sounded.
I was startled, I recognized this voice, it was the eunuch in charge of the imperial dining room.
"It's done well, it's done, and it will definitely benefit you if I sit on the throne."
That voice was all too familiar.
It's Brother Two!
Suddenly, my head was blurred, as if I had been blasted by thunder, I stood there blankly and almost fell.
I stood in the rain with a pale face, unable to say a word.
***
It was a thunderstorm day again, the clouds were overcast, followed by heavy rain, and lightning exploded in front of my eyes with the roar of thunder.The sky was brightly illuminated by the lightning bolts in an instant, and then darkened in an instant.
I took a paper umbrella and stood in the rain, and before I knew it, I went to the back garden again.
Standing alone in the rain, the rain is flowing down his hair and face, Brother Er Huang, the last person I want to see.I turned around and was about to leave when he grabbed my sleeve.
"Extreme joy!" His voice was filled with unbearable sadness. "Why?"
He is still asking me why, I should be the one to ask this sentence, I don’t want to say anything, maybe I’m too weak, I’d rather forgive all those who hurt me than learn to hate, I don’t know what to believe Who made me lose Fengxiang, this is the only thing I have to worry about.
"Let go of me!" I said to him coldly.
"Juanhuan~" He pulled my clothes and pulled me in front of him: "Why don't you see me, you know..." His fingers stroked my cheek, I think of you every day, even if When discussing matters in the court, your face is always shaking in your mind. "
I snorted coldly, those people kept saying they love me, what do they love about me?
If it's just this different appearance from ordinary people, how can it be called love? While saying that you love me, but at the same time hurting me, can this also be called love?
"You know, don't you?" His voice suddenly became sharp.
"You know what you have done yourself." I turned around and said to him coldly.
"I did all this for you!" His voice became even more hysterical.
for me? !This is a big joke!For me, I threw my head back and laughed.
"Since you were a child, looking at me with big watery eyes, as if you were about to cry at any time, I swore to protect you, from childhood to adulthood, so no one who bullies you can live, Even if it's Prince Yao, Prince Jing, my own younger brother, I can't let them go."
"Prince Yao and Prince Jing were indeed killed by you!" I said coldly.
"Not bad!"
"Father..."
"It's me too." He said in a deep voice, the sudden lightning illuminated his face strangely, like a demon at night.
"You...why do you do this? It's a beast! No! Ru!"
He laughed loudly, his pale face made even more hideous by the light of the lightning.
"Beasts are worse, do you know what real beasts are?" The ghostly voice made it hard to imagine that this was my gentle and gentle second brother: "That old ghost treated you like that, and you still defend him like this!"
I stood in the rain with a pale face, unable to say a word.
"Huan'er, do you know?" The second elder brother's pale face was covered with rain, and his thin and cold fingers were tightly grasping my clothes. I was so close, and I saw the expression in his usually calm amber eyes. The burning flame of madness: "Do you know? Huan'er, do you know how painful I am? Because I love you! Because I love you!"
The second brother pressed me against the cold wall of the imperial garden, and kissed my lips deeply.The desperate pain seemed to burst out of my chest,
"There will be no one else anymore. I want to get rid of that old guy. You are mine now, Huan'er. They should stop trying to touch you. From now on, Huan'er, you belong to me alone."
He bit my lip like a crazy little beast, biting hotly.
Crazy, all crazy!This palace is full of lunatics!
All crazy, I must get out of here, or I will go crazy myself.
I pushed my second brother away and ran out in the heavy rain...
…………
It's a crazy world, I feel like they're all crazy, and I'm on the verge of madness, my father, my brothers' faces are like beasts in my head, and they It's like I'm pounced on, trying to tear me apart, I can't breathe, it's like a nightmare...
I ran back to my bedroom in the rain, closed the door, leaned against the door and panted, a person's face dangled in front of my eyes, making me sad, Feng Xiang, I misunderstood him, he may be an extraordinary person, But it didn't harm my relatives. In this cruel and responsible court, our hearts can't judge at all. Those who look the most kind are the most terrifying. This deep court is like a big net, covering me In it, I can't break free, and I seem to find an outlet to breathe the fresh air outside...
I closed myself in a shell and pretended to be very decadent and depraved every day. I wanted to forget this terrible palace, this hypocritical and dark place where there was no light. I wanted to let go of everything and not think about anything. I was drunk every day. In Huajie, intoxicated by alcohol, I always pretended to be drunk when my father asked me to see him, and I always avoided seeing my second brother when he came to see me, but I still felt suffocated. Want to leave here, leave forever!
In the 32nd year of Tiande, the powerful northern neighbor Beiwu kept harassing Maolin, Fengye and other border towns. The national treasury is empty, just after several cities were captured by powerful enemies, the people in the government and the people are panicked, everyone is terrified, and the peaceful court has been corrupted over the years. There are no generals who can fight, and the soldiers are all like ruffians. Among the government and the opposition, there is almost no voice of the main battle. There are only a few old generals who encourage the war, but those who seek peace, cede land, pay tribute, and even have the idea of marriage. Unfortunately, I only have two older sisters. He was already married, and the young ones were all princes, and those ministers even complained that there was no princess to marry at this critical time.
"Your Majesty." It was Doctor Guanglu who came forward to offer his words: "Why don't you use the prince as a pledge to show my sincerity in seeking peace in Xiling?"
At this time, all the civil and military officials in the court looked at me.
I have always stood in the most inconspicuous corner, with my head down, and I don't want anyone to notice me, because I understand that this is my way of survival. If I want to survive in this dark palace, I must hide myself edge.
I saw those ironic smiling faces, those longings, those reliefs, and there were too many emotions hidden in those faces. Maybe they all thought that I, a cowardly, incompetent, decadent and drunk prince, could finally be useful, maybe This is 'waste utilization', waste like me can save their lives, isn't it very cost-effective!
But when I heard this proposal, my heart skipped a beat. Maybe this is what I have been longing for for a long time. This opportunity is finally coming. Although the road to Beiwu is full of hardships and dangers, it is already decadent for me. My life is nothing, and this is my only chance to escape!free!The free sky I long for seems so close to me!
The ministers were all looking at each other, and at this moment I seemed to be their life-saving straw.
I saw the expression on the father's face suddenly changed on the golden chair. He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything in the end.
Seeing his attitude, the ministers would not give up this good opportunity to say: "Doctor Guanglu is right! Now that the country is in crisis, it is time for His Royal Highness to contribute to our Xiling Kingdom. Beiwu Kingdom sees me Xiling is so sincere and willing to sacrifice a country's prince as a hostage, it will definitely stop the invasion of the north..."
"Okay, that's it, you can discuss the offerings to Beiwu." Father stood up and walked out of the hall.
No matter what, in his heart, life is more important than anything else, and everything else can be sacrificed, including me. I stand there, with mixed feelings in my heart...
The rain in Lingdu has never stopped. I stood in the rain with an umbrella and looked at the street market in the rain.
Soon I will go to Beiwu Kingdom to be the hostage for peace. After all, I am still just a pawn in their hands. I long for that free life. The rain has been silting up in my heart like smoke that cannot be dispersed, for a long time...
"Do you just want to run away like that? Do you just want to leave me like that?" I heard a deep and hoarse voice, and I knew it was the second brother standing behind me without turning around: "Let's rebel, I don't want to see that The old guy just pushed you into the fire pit."
"But why do I feel like I'm in a fire pit right now." I turned my head to look at him, but saw that his outstretched hand stopped, and his eyes were full of hurt.
"But we can work together to change the dynasty!" He grabbed me, and after a long hesitation, his steel-like arms wrapped around my waist.
"That's just what you think, I'm not interested at all." It took me a lot of effort to push him away: "What I want most now is to go to Beiwu to be my proton."
"Juanhuan, come back!"
I've been far away and still hear him calling me from behind:
"Don't you feel my heart at all? Do you really want to leave so much? Or are you just willing to be his pawn?!"
"Maybe they are all." I turned my head and smiled: "No matter what, I am just a chess piece that you can use in your eyes, am I not?!"
"No, never, in my heart you have never been a pawn!"
"I'm so tired, really, so tired. I just want to go to Saibei and see Qinghai Lake in my dream."
I turned and walked in that rain and never looked back.
……
The tributes were ready soon, and I took the tributes on the road. The sky in Saibei was very blue and the wind was strong, which is what I longed for, and I also saw the Saibei in my dream, on the plateau in my dream The emerald of Qinghai Lake.
Surrounded by four majestic mountains, Qinghai Lake is like a huge emerald plate embedded between the mountains and grasslands...
Beyond the Great Wall
The tributes were ready soon, and I took the tributes on the road. The sky in Saibei was very blue and the wind was strong, which is what I longed for, and I also saw the Saibei in my dream, on the plateau in my dream The emerald of Qinghai Lake.
Surrounded by four majestic mountains, Qinghai Lake is like a huge emerald jade plate embedded between the mountains and grasslands... forming a magnificent and beautiful scenery where mountains, lakes and grasslands complement each other; in summer and autumn, Qinghai The mountains and rivers beside the lake are beautiful, and the vast undulating grassland is like a thick green carpet. Countless cattle, sheep, and horses are like colorful mottled pearls scattered all over the grassland, and there is a large area of neat and picturesque farmland by the lake. Toss and the cauliflower pans golden.When the cold winter comes, Qinghai Lake is covered with ice and jade, and covered with silver, like a huge mirror, shining brightly in the sun.
……
Sitting in the sedan chair, the outside is full of wind and sand. The vast wilderness in the north is full of loess and gray sand. Even the few mountain peaks that I pass by by chance are bare, with dry and cracked rocks exposed.I have been sitting on a sedan chair and walking on the road to Beidi for a month, and the destination is still indefinitely far away. Even though I have a good temper, I still feel a little bored, but I understand that as a delivery person It is better for the proton of the enemy country to avoid trouble under the eyes of others.
The changes in the palace are really unpredictable. The father is still seriously ill, and he is worried about the situation of thousands of wolves and tigers in the palace. Internal worries are not enough, and now foreign troubles are added. The Peace Faction has gained the upper hand, and wants to offer generous gifts to the Beiwu Kingdom. The Beiwu Kingdom wants to use the crown prince as a hostage and not violate the border for the time being. .
Although the servile attitude of those people is annoying, but for me, a puppet prince, it doesn't matter where I stay. Instead of waiting for them to be slaughtered in the middle of the court, I might as well go to the outside of the Great Wall to steal the wind. Anyway, this luxurious Xijing I Already tired of it.
After walking for a long time, the closer he was to the outside of the Great Wall, the more desolate he looked.I wondered in my heart why such a barren land in the North has become such a powerful country, and the Central Plains is rich in fishing and rice, but it has ended in a state of withering talents and being slaughtered by others.
Suddenly there was a jolt, and there was a commotion outside the sedan chair.
Lifting up the sedan chair curtain, one can see dozens of galloping horses galloping in the yellow sand. The strong men on the horses are all unusually tall, holding a machete, and the clothes on their bodies look like barbarians. Come, go on a rampage, among hundreds of so-called Xibai elite soldiers, it's like entering a no-man's land.
They rolled up the boxes thrown on the ground by the soldiers who fled in a hurry. These are all the tributes from our Xibai Kingdom to Beiwu Kingdom. There are hundreds of pearls, hundreds of silks and satins, gold, silver and other treasures. Xibaizhili was thinking in his heart that these gangsters are really lucky, and they can get such a lot of treasure without any effort.
Suddenly I felt a little uncomfortable, and a sharp gaze in the crowd was staring at me.
Looking up, that man seems to be the leader of this group of gangsters, a man who has never seen such a tall man, his eyes are blue like jewels, and his hair is dark brown and long, draped over his shoulders He has wavy hair, a jewel-encrusted forehead on his forehead, and his swollen right arm is exposed by the slanted skirt. His blue eyes are staring at me like a raging fire.It makes me feel that the sharp edge is stabbing, and the whole person feels like being burned.
"Are you from the West?" the barbarian asked me in a strange tone that was not fluent.
"Yes, I'm from the West." I replied frankly, thinking that these people were able to find our tracks. It seems that they are not so simple bandits, and they should have premeditated.
"Then why don't you run away?" the barbarian then asked.
"Why should I run away?" I was a little puzzled.
"They all escaped, won't you escape?"
Sad to say, hundreds of soldiers known as Xibai's elite abandoned their helmets and armor in a moment, and fled without a trace, and this Xibai prince had to explain to these barbarians why he did not flee.Speaking of it, I really want to thank my father's general for training such a team.
"If they have all escaped, do I have to escape?" I didn't know that these Hu people were tough, but I didn't feel any fear at all. Compared with them, the conspiracy hidden in the hearts of those gentle Western white people in the capital was a hundred times more terrifying.
In fact, it's ridiculous. I don't run away not because of other things, but because I am lazy. I was carried by those people. It is really difficult for me to walk back after such a thousand miles. It was not easy to get to the nearest town, and besides, I had no silver with me, and I was afraid I couldn't buy horses, and I might as well live in an inn, provided I didn't starve to death.
"You are a Western white, aren't you afraid that we will kill you?"
I really want the leader of the robbers to stop talking, because his tone of voice is really uncomfortable, and it takes more effort than not to say it.
And those barbarian strong men around him have already raised their scimitars, as if they were about to slash at me in an instant.
"If you wanted to kill, you would have killed it long ago, so why wait until now." I smiled and said to him.
The Hu man also smiled, his sapphire-like eyes shining brightly under the sun.
"This Western white man is interesting, take him back!"
-------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------
"Chilechuan, under the Yin Mountain. The sky is like a dome, covering the four fields. The sky is blue, the fields are vast, and the wind blows the grass and the cattle and sheep can be seen."
—— "Chile Song"
The morning sun is slightly dew, and the smoke from the kitchen drives away the slightest chill.
In front of the circular yurt, there is a burst of fragrance of kumiss.
On the prairie, rolling, green grass, flat and open forest grassland, the hillside riverside is full of pearl-like flocks, flocks of sheep only move slowly, the smoke from the yurts curls up, and the sound of camels echoes in the valley And the singing of the shepherd, the melodious idyll echoed for a long time.
There was a sound of hoofbeats, a pair of knights galloped on the grassland, and the wolf totem flag on the horses fluttered in the wind.
The leading knight has a vigorous physique, swaying rebelliously, his dark brown curly hair is facing the wind, and the sweaty horse under him is also extremely jubilant.
This vast green grassland stretches to the horizon like a boundless one. If I had never left the capital, I would never know that the sky outside is so blue, and there are so many different ethnic groups, customs, and lives under the sky.
In the evening, around the bonfire, everyone drank kumiss, ate hand-caught mutton, and sang and danced.I also sat down on the grass with everyone calmly and ate it with big mouthfuls.I sat and watched everyone singing and dancing, when a barbarian woman with a cheek as red as an apple took my hand and invited me to dance together.
"My name is Jijina, what about you?" the Hu woman asked me, blinking her eyes shyly.
"Nakeze" I remembered the Hu name given to me by the leader of the Hu people.
Ashinajie, the Da Yueshi Khan of the Turkic tribe, a robber leader actually has such a background. Now a tribe outside the Great Wall that is active on the border of the Beiwu Kingdom is also fierce and abnormal, but they suffer from the Beiwu Kingdom just like the people in the Central Plains. Due to the threat of the threat, the Beiwu Kingdom is ambitious and wants to unify the countries. It goes to the east to fight the Dongqing Kingdom, and to the west to drive the West Bai Kingdom to become a vassal.Like expelling the Turkic Da Yuezhi, Dawan, Kangju, and Wusun countries to the north.
Ashinajie hijacked the tributes and hostages from Xibai Kingdom to Beiwu Kingdom. I am afraid his intention is not simple. If Beiwu Kingdom goes to war with Dongqing Kingdom and Xibai Kingdom at the same time, then Da Yuezhi can join Dawan and Wusun Waiting for the country to compete with Beiwu country in Mobei together, this is a good plan.
"Are you really from West Baiguo?" Ji Jina asked me, her long curly hair was scattered to her waist, shining golden light in the firelight.
"Yeah, what? Don't I look like it?"
"The outline is slender and beautiful, but the eyes and hair color are different from the Western white people I have ever seen."
"Is it weird?" I asked a little self-consciously. If I cleared my appearance, I might be regarded as a monster wherever I go.
"No, we Turkic people have many blue eyes, green eyes, golden eyes, and blond, black, brown, and red hair. It's just that the western whites I've seen all have black eyes and black hair."
Turkic people have so many strange looks, I can't help but wonder if I also have foreign blood. I heard them say that my mother and concubine are from Nanzhu, but are there some strange ones?
"Juanhuan!" I heard a familiar voice calling me, turned my head to look, but saw Ashinajie sitting by the campfire drinking and waving to me.
"Gigina, the headman called me, I'll go there first, and I'll find you another day."
"Yeah." Gigina stuffed a beautiful totem ornament into my hand, lowered her head and ran away shyly.
Walking to Ashinajie, sat down beside him, picked up the kumiss and took a sip.
"Brother Juan Huan, are you still used to living here?"
"It's very good here! I'm used to it." While drinking, I grabbed the meat and stuffed it into my mouth, and gave him a silly smile.
"Brother Ke Ze adapted quite quickly, and I will take you to the snow mountain for hunting in a few days." He glanced at me again: "Look at your body, you are too thin, it's time to practice, our Da Yueshi The men here are strong and brave, and you can show off when the Naadam is held in a few months.
"Nadam?"
"It's the Jockey Club. The Jockey Club is our traditional festival. Every July and August, we choose to hold a grand "Nadam" meeting on a flat, open grassland surrounded by mountains and rivers. Excellent riding and shooting. People who are good at horse training, horse racing, archery and wrestling are respected by the people. Horse racing is the main activity of the Naadam Festival. During the horse racing, hundreds of people from all directions gather at the racecourse to watch the game. Drums and flags are beating, cheering and cheering. Riders ride their well-fed and well-groomed horses to compete fiercely with their opponents. The atmosphere on the field is extremely enthusiastic. After the competition, the winners will be rewarded. "
I looked at his face in the firelight, he spoke happily, and I could see his pride in his own nation from his expression.The Turkic people have a very genuine temperament, and it is very easy to get along with them, because most of them are straight-hearted, loyal and hard-working men.Huoguang found his face, the tall and straight outline appeared more handsome, and the blue eyes were also exceptionally bright.
"If you want to participate in the Naadam competition, you have to train the horse first. Get up early tomorrow, and I will take you to see it."
"Horse training?" It sounds dangerous and exciting.
"Horse training is a unique skill. In Da Yuezhi, only a brave and quick-witted rider can do it. Most of the horses tamed are raw horses, and it is difficult for ordinary people to subdue them. Raw horses that have never been ridden have violent personalities. See People kick and bite and cannot get close to it. It needs a skilled and brave rider to tame it. This kind of thrilling horse training can only be done by the bravest rider, so we have regarded it as the glory and honor of riders throughout the ages. pride."
"Where did this come from?" Ashinajie suddenly saw the other beautiful totem ornament on my waist, which was just given to me by Ji Gina. It seemed very special, but I didn't understand its meaning.
"A girl gave it to me during the dance."
"who?"
"A girl called Gigina."
Ashinajie suddenly looked at me with an ambiguous look.
"You're not a bad boy. A girl showed her love to you when you first came here. Gigina is a well-known beautiful girl here. Do you know how many boys chased her but didn't agree?"
"Big brother must have misunderstood. I think she may not mean that."
Ashinajie picked up the totem ornament and said to me: "In our Da Yuezhi, this kind of ornament engraved with the family totem is not given away casually. Young girls and boys give it to their sweethearts." As a token of love."
"No way?" I suddenly regretted that I accepted such a precious thing so easily. It is impossible for a person like me to give people happiness, so why bother them.
"At the night of the bonfire, when a girl gives the ornament to the man she likes, it means that she will wait for the man in her tent at night to spend the spring night together." Ashinajie continued.
My eyes were wide open, no way, I was surprised that a barbarian woman could be so open.
"We're just meeting for the first time, so it's impossible." I didn't expect that I would also have this kind of awkwardness, and even stuttered when I spoke.
Ashinajie looked at me and laughed loudly: "Our Da Yuezhi women are very bold and brave. When they see someone they like, even if it is the first time they meet, they will speak up without hesitation. Don't let me down." Oh, the kindness of people!"
I sat there blankly, staring at the fire in a daze, this time I was destined to let her down.
***
In the early morning, the sky has just dawned. On the vast prairie, the sky is magnificent and beautiful. The banks of the Gele River, cattle, sheep, and horses form a beautiful picture.
A wild horse galloped happily in the morning sun, and I was fascinated by watching it from afar.It is so beautiful, its pure black hair is as beautiful as silk and satin, it is natural, the wild horse raised its head to the sky and let out a long neigh, and its long black mane fluttered in the morning wind of the grassland.It is so beautiful that it makes people's heart beat.
I rode over, and the black wild horse immediately became nervous and shot out like an arrow.
Suddenly, there seemed to be an innate wildness that boiled in my blood like a flame, and I threw the rope in my hand, and the rope was floating in the air, with a sound of wind.The moment the wild horse passed by me, I jumped suddenly, and when I got behind it, it retreated sharply, jumping and scurrying, trying to pass me.The moment it turned around, a reverse cut edge of the noose landed on the little black horse's head. I shook it hard, and the noose jumped and slid into its neck.The beautiful wild horse stood upright and neighed.
The wild horse jumped wildly, shaking vigorously, trying to shake off the rope.I pulled the rope violently, and jumped onto the horse’s back. It rolled and galloped forward, and the wind whizzed by my ears. Several times I was almost thrown off the horse’s back by it. I never knew With my own talent and strength, I clenched my teeth and held on to it, seeing how it leaped wildly until it slowed down exhausted, and slowly humped me to the Gele River to drink water.
"Juanhuan!" When I heard the shout on the grassland, I was already riding the newly tamed black horse back.
I saw Ashinajie riding his fiery red horse waving to me,
He rode a horse and stood against the wind on the grassland.
"This horse?!" His eyes were as amazed as when I first saw it.
"Just caught." I said to him with a smile.
"You really are the most talented rider I've ever met."
The festive atmosphere in the tribe is getting stronger and stronger, because the biggest annual "Nadamousai" will be held in a few days
