Chapter 409 Lan Tu
There are more bachelors than married people. Some ordinary herdsmen are too poor to afford wives, so several brothers share one wife.
Things like brothers sharing wives are common and common in small villages or tribes on the grassland.
So you can imagine that yesterday, Xia Zihan and the three women walked around the gathering, attracting the prying eyes of many herdsmen, and provoking many covetous people.
Even Prince Daklu, who had countless women flocking to him, was dazzled by Xia Zihan's beauty, otherwise, he would not be so eager to abduct Xia Zihan.
If it weren't for pig iron and food, Prince Dakru would be able to rob people directly now, and he would secretly kidnap people. The warriors on the grassland are all straightforward with women.
And choosing a wife is just the first honor of being the number one warrior.
There is another honor. In addition to being able to choose your own targets, the first warrior must also serve as a vanguard and lead elite troops to attack Shuimu City
The warriors who emerged from this battle will lead their troops to attack Shuimu City in mid-November, invade the Dasheng Dynasty's territory, and rob the people of their food.
Xia Zihan is concerned about this matter and wants to go deep inside the Tatars. Maybe she can find Chu Jingqi.
When Chu Jingqi comes to the grassland, she will definitely not miss this perfect opportunity.
After seeing off Prince Daklu, Ma Bao looked at Xia Zihan worriedly, "Princess, I think that boy has ill intentions towards you. Starting tonight, I will take turns guarding you with Fox and the others."< br>
This was his master's wife. He had to protect his little master, but he couldn't be coaxed away by others, especially the master's enemies, the Tatars.
"We will leave here this morning. As for the Warriors Tournament, we will go, but not with Prince Dakru." Xia Zihan said.
If she goes with him, will her virginity still survive?
I heard that the men and women on this grassland are very generous and there is no defense between men and women. As long as they fall in love with someone, they can get together without getting married.
She didn't want to get into trouble before she even found someone, and she couldn't do anything for the time being.
At this time, Zheng Wenting, who got the news, rushed in anxiously.
As soon as he entered the door, he heard Xia Zihan's words and was stunned, "Are you leaving today?"
"Well, I bothered you yesterday." Xia Zihan smiled gently and added, "You don't need to fulfill the deal between Prince Daklu and you. You have to remember that you are from the Dasheng Dynasty. The Zheng family can Exchange some items with the Tatars, but if you go too far, you will put the Zheng family into a sea of fire. I am not worthy of you. ”
It wasn't worth it for him to risk the entire Zheng family to save her.
The deal between Zheng Wenting and the Tatars, even if the documents were signed, if the Zheng family returned to Dasheng and did not want to fulfill it, the Tatars could not do anything about it. This deal was originally made by Prince Daklu and forced Zheng Wenting to agree. If he did not fulfill it, he would not be able to do it. That makes sense.
What's more, this is a treasonous deal, and it will bear the reputation of a traitor.
"Okay." Zheng Wenting smiled.
He had no intention of fulfilling this deal.
Agreeing now is just perfunctory to Prince Daklu.
When they returned to Dasheng, he didn't bother to pay attention to the Tatars. At worst, he would disband the caravan and never come to the grassland again.
With so many businesses and industries in his Zheng family, even if the caravan was disbanded, they would not lose anything, they would just make less money.
His Zheng family has already earned a lot of money, so it doesn't matter if he earns less.
If disbanding the caravan can save the entire Zheng family, then it's worth it.
Xia Zihan then said, "Prince Dakru invited me to visit the Prairie Warriors Tournament in half a month. I guess he may want to keep me as a hostage on the grassland and force you to fulfill this deal. When the time comes, he …”
When Zheng Wenting heard this, he became anxious and said, "Don't go. I will send someone to take you back to Dasheng right now. I will send someone to help you look for your cousin."
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and regardless of whether Xia Zihan objected or not, he decided hastily, "Chu Yu, I'm really worried about you. The Tatars are not easy to mess with. I'm worried about your fate." You will be bullied by him after falling into his hands. This time you have to listen to my arrangements. You can do it now. Come on, I will arrange people now. Is a hundred guards enough? No, the grassland is chaotic, and you are a girl. I'd better arrange two hundred guards to send you off. You go to Shuimu City to settle down first, and wait for me. When I’m done, I’ll go to Shuimu City to find you.”
After just a few meetings, Xia Zihan could do this for her. Xia Zihan was deeply moved, but she had to refuse him, "Listen to me first..."
"I came here to find my cousin. But don't worry, nothing will happen to me. I won't go with Prince Dakru. I will go to the Warriors Tournament. I want to go secretly and hide in the crowd. Here, I thought, the Warriors Game would be such a lively event , my cousin will definitely join in the fun. When the time comes, I might be able to find him. Don’t worry, I won’t let Prince Dakru discover me. Just believe me. You have forgotten that I am not a delicate person. Little girl.”
Zheng Wenting remembered the day when he first met Xia Zihan. At that time, she was so strong and proud to help him resist the girl from the Dai family.
Thinking of that day, his heart beat a little faster.
Finally, under Xia Zihan's determined eyes, he nodded, "Okay, then you have to be careful." "Well, remember, no matter what happens, you have to believe me, and you must not give anything to Dak. Prince Lu Grain and Pig Iron”
Xia Zihan was worried and couldn't help but give Zheng Wenting some instructions.
After having breakfast with Zheng Wenting, Xia Zihan and his group quietly left without disturbing anyone.
When Prince Daklu came to look for her again, he had long since disappeared. Zheng Wenting lied to him and told him that he had sent someone to send her back to Dasheng. Prince Daklu's face turned dark with anger.
With the hostages gone, Prince Dakru was worried that Zheng Wenting would not fulfill the deal with him, so he hatched another plan, which caused Zheng Wenting to suffer for a long time.
Of course, this is something for later, let’s not mention it for now.
Xia Zihan and his party quietly sneaked back into the cave where they had stayed for a few days, and all changed into a set of Tatar clothes.
These clothes were all brought from Zheng Wenting. In order to avoid trouble, the three girls Xia Zihan, Chu Cong, and Chu Lin also dressed up as men, and used a kind of tree oil to deliberately blacken the exposed skin.
When the tree oil dries, it will become like skin, and you won't be able to tell there is a layer of oil on it.
After everything was packed up, a group of people set off and followed the route provided by Ma Bao to the Kelanglin tribe.
On the way, they met many ordinary herdsmen who had exchanged their winter supplies for home from the rally. The herdsmen saw that they were well-dressed, and the hats they wore were inlaid with huge gems that symbolized their superior status. They sparkled from a distance. Even though it was bright, they didn't dare to provoke him and stayed away from him.
Seven days later, they had a smooth journey and finally met the Kranglin tribe.
The Kelanglin tribe is the third largest tribe on the grassland, and Lantu, the leader of the Kelanglin tribe, lives in the largest tent here.
Leader Lantu is also the youngest among the twelve major tribal leaders on the grassland. He was also the number one warrior in last year's warrior competition and is currently the most powerful person on the grassland.
However, Lantu has a useless younger brother Lankes.
Lankes spent his whole day riding horses, drinking, playing and teasing little girls. He had no intention of becoming a warrior. The girls in the tribe hated and despised him and were unwilling to marry him.
Moreover, girls on the grassland all like strong and tall men, believing that such men are powerful, powerful, and true warriors.
Lankes, on the other hand, was just the opposite. Not only did he have a thin body, but he also had an ugly appearance. What made the girls even more despised was that Lankes seemed to like pinching the girls' vaginas whenever they saw a beautiful one. Girl, he will catch me off guard. I will stretch out my claws and pinch her breasts.
Several times, because of this, he was beaten so hard that he was like mud, paralyzed on the ground and unable to get up.
If it weren't for the fact that he had a powerful brother, Lankes would have been killed long ago.
On the grassland, even if a waste like Lankes was killed, no one would say anything.
Here, there is no saying of killing for life, there is only a comparison between trash and warriors, and even if a worthless trash is killed, no one will pity or sympathize with him.
In order to prevent him from being killed, Lan Tu also tried his best.
When Lantu married three wives and Lankes was still single, his elder brother was also angry, so he sent two men to accompany his younger brother in wrestling and boxing every day.
Lankes couldn't beat him, and he was beaten all day long, until he was beaten like a pig's head. His life was as bleak as the moon.
No, in June he took advantage of Lan Tu to go to the gathering, and secretly went to the gathering to see the beauties without fear of death, and accidentally met Chu Jingqi.
Lankes is also a stupid person. With just a few words, Chu Jingqi tricked him out of his younger brother, the leader of Langtu of the Kelanglin tribe. Even the eighteenth generation of his family's ancestors were tricked by Chu Jingqi.
In the twelfth lunar month of last year, after Lan Tu became a pioneer, he had several fierce battles with Chu Jingqi, a young pioneer from Da Sheng, on the battlefield. The two could be said to be equally matched in martial arts.
However, Chu Jingqi is young, only thirteen years old, while Lan Tu is already twenty-five years old and in his prime. When Chu Jingqi reaches twenty-five years old, Lan Tu may not be able to beat him.
But now, Chu Jingqi has mixed into the Kelanglin tribe, is it to assassinate Lan Tu, or is there some other premeditated plan?
Xia Zihan didn't know, he only knew that Lantu was alive and well now. They were hiding in a forest far away from the Kelanglin tribe. From a distance, they saw Lantu riding a horse outside the tribe, with hundreds of people behind him. The Tartars chased him with crazy flying horses.
"It is indeed Lan Tu. Last year, when he was fighting fiercely with his master, I saw him once on the city wall. There is no mistaking him."
Ma Bao has a decisive approach.
