Chapter 195: Chu Yiming (II)
After contacting several tribes, Liu Heng realized that there were many differences between Beihu and what he imagined. This nomadic country does not have its own city, it is inhabited by large or small tribes, constantly migrating, and will not live in one place for a long time, only those who have been in the north for a long time can roughly grasp some of the laws of the migration of these tribes.
In normal times, as merchants, they rarely saw the fierce side of the Beihu people, and every tribe they went to would receive the most warm hospitality. Selling their possessions until late at night, the tribe would light bonfires, slaughter sheep and cattle, serve spirits and smiles, and entertain them with unrestrained and enthusiastic dancing.
The girls who are like flowers and jade will be sought after by the tribal boys, directly expressing their admiration, so that the ignorant girls are at a loss and frightened, but their hearts are like deer, and they can't calm down.
Men are also invited to dance, drink and have fun, and at night they invite their favorite men to their tents to spend the night together.
Here, it seems that secular morality, the defense of men and women does not exist, everyone is sincere and natural, living a life that ordinary people find incredible, and doing whatever they want.
To like is to like, to dislike is to dislike, to be happy is to be happy, to be sad is to be sad, and it comes and goes as fast as it comes. But there is no intrigue, shrewd calculation, and at first glance it is so beautiful.
Liu Heng, as the youngest teenager in the merchant team, although his appearance is not outstanding, he has been studying and practicing martial arts for a long time, and he has a unique temperament that is indescribable. In addition, they are strangers, so they are even more attractive to the girls of the tribe, curious and mysterious, and everyone wants to approach.
In the face of these enthusiastic girls, Liu Heng was helpless, but he would always refuse their invitations. Because of his long-term study of books and rituals, he can't adapt to this kind of thing at all. didn't get along for a long time, didn't have the flowers in his dreams, and the emotions were brewing, just for the most primitive reproduction and **, he couldn't accept it.
The girls' disappointed or disdainful eyes. He was poised. Seeing the merchants burrowing into a certain tent with red faces, the girls in the same group reluctantly said goodbye to their dance partners under Ling Zhuqi's scolding, Liu Heng returned to his tent alone, and replaced sleep with a cultivation spirit.
This is the third tribe encountered along the way, there is calm after the bustle in the early morning, the girls who stare at the dark circles reluctantly get into the cart, and the merchants with red faces and excellent spirits drive the carriage on the road, leaving this nostalgic place.
Liu Heng knew that the people of Beihu had not always been so hospitable. They have another face.
These tribes compete for cattle and sheep, herdsmen, water sources, and forage, and often fight each other inextricably, as if they were feuds.
They fought in a real way, and the whole tribe, men and women, young and old, would join the battle, and the scene was extremely violent, and the little girl she saw for the first time was so frightened that her little face turned pale and she couldn't speak.
And the defeated tribes. will be swallowed up by the victors, let go of all hatred and continue to live together. It may even form a new family with the enemy who killed his father. This kind of thing really makes Liu Heng feel incomprehensible and unacceptable, but it is a common thing in Beihu and has become a custom since ancient times.
This kind of integration also made Liu Heng more silent.
No one cares about the fighting between tribes, and the entire Beihu has multiplied from ancient times to the present day in this state. On the contrary, it has always maintained this bloody nature and vigorous national strength. Once there is a war with a certain country, almost the whole country is full of soldiers, and they are all the most elite armies.
Weird and terrifying country!
Compared with Beihu, Daxia is indeed too gentle, like a lamb being watched by a wolf. It is in a weak position, but it can continue to last for more than 700 years without being destroyed. All made Liu Heng feel surprised, and he admired his ancestors in his heart.
Far away from the hustle and bustle, looking at the unchanged grassland, I felt even more monotonous and boring, this vast procession suddenly fell silent, and few people spoke silently and hurried, each with their own thoughts.
But who knew that as soon as he left the tribe for more than ten miles on this day, he felt a slight vibration on the ground, and it was obvious that a horse team was galloping, and everyone's face changed.
The middle-aged merchant stopped the procession, let the carts form a circle, and the women and children without force hid in the circle, lying on the ground in the silence of the crowd and listening carefully, and only after a moment did they solemnly report it.
"There are hundreds of horses, and they are coming very fast!" he said quickly, and he wondered, "There is such a large-scale force in this vicinity, and it should be the only one who has recently become famous. But there are still dozens of miles from the original territory of the Bรกb thieves, right, could it be that they are expanding their territory?"
Generally speaking, it is not easy for the newly ascended forces to keep the territory of the original forces, but the Chu thieves are obviously not satisfied. It has only been three or five months since he ascended to the throne, and he has expanded so much outside the territory in a short period of time, and his strength has moved middle-aged businessmen.
"It's rampant!"
Compared with the merchants who looked nervous and frightened, Ling Zhuqi was in good spirits, "It's finally here." โ
The girls who had been bored for a long time were also very excited, wiping their swords, and they were all eagerly looking forward to the self-casting of the mission goal.
"Yo he!"
"Sarutu!"
"Ahh
A high-pitched sound of horses cheering came from far and near, and a small group of black spots appeared at the end of the grassland, galloping towards the merchant procession. As they approached, the tension in the ranks grew stronger, until the group rushed closer and began to circle around the caravan, the merchants rolling their throats and almost suffocating.
"Master, they came so quickly, and they were able to find them so accurately in the vast grasslands, and they knew that we did not plant their flags, which shows that the tribes where we had settled before were hiding their spies and had been tipping off them. โ
The middle-aged merchant whispered in Ling Zhuqi's ear with a solemn expression, "The speed at which their power is expanding is faster than we imagined, and they already have the momentum to annex the entire Mutu Grassland." โ
"This can only show that the traitors cultivated by our Butterfly Flower Sect are still quite capable and have not embarrassed our sect too much. Ling Zhuqi pursed her lips, not thinking it was serious.
This group of thieves had two or three hundred horses, but there were not many people, but seventy or eighty people, each of whom had two or three horses to spare, which was enough to ensure that they came and went like the wind.
And the thieves on the horse, all of them are strong and unruly, flamboyant and ruthless, and there are even bloody heads on the back of the horse, as if they have just committed a crime and hurried here, which shows their viciousness and hideousness.
They kept circling around the horse team, like a hungry wolf surrounding a flock of sheep watching their prey, and also looking for opportunities and flaws to break into the formation.
The girls hiding in the cart opened the curtains curiously and looked around, and the beautiful and young faces aroused the thieves' **, the voices of shouting and ridiculing were even higher, and their eyes were naked, hot, and lewd, as if they were going to eat them. Rao is that they are all martial arts, and they also panicked when they encountered such a gaze, and hurriedly shrank back, not knowing what they were afraid of.
"You are the Mutur caravan. โ
Yiqi was the first to stop, looking down at the middle-aged merchant with indifferent eyes, and his voice was hoarse and harsh, "Why didn't you hang the recognition flag?"
As soon as he spoke, the rest of the thieves immediately fell silent and slowly stopped behind him. Seeing this, everyone immediately understood that this should be Chu Yiming, the leader of the Chu thieves.
The goal of this mission, the miscellaneous traitor of the Butterfly Flower Sect!
Countless people's eyes converged on her, and everyone wanted to see what this person looked like. Before the middle-aged merchant could speak, she suddenly stiffened, as if she saw something wrong, and suddenly shouted: "No, retreat......!
