"Really? You Han people are really happy, ah, no, it's unfortunate."
Xuancheng said, "Why are you happy, why are you unhappy?"
"I heard that you all live in houses made of bricks and tiles, and you will not migrate because of the dryness of water and grass, but we have to live nomadically. How happy, but unfortunately, your emperor is incompetent and stupid. It is said that people from the Sima family were elected emperor without meritorious deeds, how sad it is to have such an emperor, and how unhappy you Han people are to follow the emperor to suffer."
Xuancheng listened quietly, his words were as beautiful as singing. Everyone said that the nomads in the grasslands were all born poets. Beautiful singing voice.
"What about you? How are you living here?"
There was a bright smile on Hexi A'er's face, "Compared to you, how lucky we are, our country has a very wise King Qin, since he ruled here, people in our tribe live more and more. Happier now."
"King Qin? What are you talking about..."
"Oh, maybe you don't know, it's Qin King Fu Jian."
Xuancheng was stunned. After Fu Jian destroyed Dai, Tuoba Shiyiqian was killed by his son, but his five-year-old grandson Tuobagui followed his mother Helan into exile during the war. In the tribe, Fu Jian was kind and did not continue to chase and kill. Instead, he listened to the words of Yanfeng, the former state, and fostered the five-year-old Tuoba tribe orphan in the Liukuren tribe of Dugu Xianbei, who returned to the Great Qin, and let him feel grateful for his kindness. , This left a bloodline for the Tuoba Xianbei tribe. The Hexi tribe is a branch of the Tuoba tribe. It is said that they should follow the exiled nobles of the Tuoba tribe, but they never thought that the people here would be against the people who destroyed the Dai Kingdom. Xuancheng was a little puzzled by Fu Jian's reverence. He knew that people from all the tribes in the grasslands always had clear grievances and grievances, and those who have revenge must revenge. Fu Jian destroyed Tuoba Xianbei, and the Hexi tribe as a branch of it should hate Fu Jian. firm.
He couldn't help asking, "Don't you hate King Qin? Don't you want to kill him? He destroyed your country and killed your acting king."
Hexi A'er sighed, and said, "You are Han people, and you may not know these old things on our grassland. Our Hexi tribe has a feud with the Tuoba tribe. Although the Tuoba tribe ruled this grassland later, We have established Dai Kingdom, but there is not a day when we don’t hate them. When Dai Wang was alive, other tribes only needed to send out 500 men a year, but our Hexi tribe had to send out 1,000 men. Now that the population of the Hexi tribe has dwindled, there are less than a thousand households. The king of Qin helped us destroy the Tuoba tribe, he is considered our benefactor, how could we hate the king of Qin?"
It turned out that this was the case, Xuancheng sighed in his heart, it seems that it is true that the prairie people must avenge their grievances, but the enemy of the Hexi tribe is not Fu Jian, but the Dai Kingdom established by the former Tuoba Xianbei tribe.
When the sun was setting, Hexi A'er said, "I'll take you to meet the leader of our tribe. According to the rules of our tribe, guests from afar must meet the leader of the tribe before staying overnight. Don't worry. , Our leader is very nice, he is the grassland hero in our hearts."
Xuan Cheng said, "Alright, please introduce me to us."
Hexi A'er then led them out of the felt bag, the setting sun in the sky was now only a small piece of crescent shape, and the children who were playing outside when they came had all returned to their own homes at this moment, and they walked for about a hundred years. At a distance of several meters, a large felt bag appeared in front of him, which was a bit larger than the other felt bags in this camp. Hexi A'er shouted from outside, "Dear leader Hexi Jilun, I will Guests from afar are here in front of you, please forgive my rashness, and I hope you can meet the guests once to show the friendship and love of our Hexi people."
"Hexi A'er, please bring the guests in." A voice came from inside.
Hexi A'er lifted the curtain in front of the felt bag, and made a gesture of invitation. Xuancheng, Lian Chengyi, and Murong Yong stepped into the felt bag one by one, and what caught his eyes was the same decoration as Hexi A'er's house. Inside the yurt, the only difference is that on the north wall of the yurt, there is a huge bow and a quiver. This bow is too big, and it seems to be the exclusive possession of the tribal leader. Standing in front of them was a middle-aged man, dressed similarly to Hexi Aer's, except that the single robe on his body was red, and the boots on his feet were not cloth boots, but leather boots, and his skin was not Hexi's. Arna's fair complexion, but healthy and sexy bronze skin, deep eyes with tan eyeballs, black and long eyelashes, high nose bridge, high cheekbones, pointed chin, taupe hair, chest He has two braids of hair, and a copper-yellow earring on his right ear. He is tall and strong, about the same height as Murong Yong.
Hexi A'er stood beside them and introduced, "This is the leader of our Hexi tribe, Hexi Jilun."
"I have met the leader of Hexi Jilun." The three bowed slightly to meet him.
Hexi Jilun said, "The three guests have come from afar, it's been hard work, I've heard what Hexi A'er said, I will invite the three of you to stay at Hexi A'er's house tonight, and tomorrow I will arrange a new room for the three of you." residence."
"Thank you for the kindness of the leader. The three of us got lost here from the south. We don't know where we are going. Thanks to the leader for not giving up. This gave the three of us a place to stay."
Hexi Jilun fixed his eyes on Xuancheng, "You don't know where you are going?"
Xuan Cheng could only say this, he wanted to stop on the grassland and take a look at the vast and vast grassland scenery.
"Since that's the case, the three of you can stay here with peace of mind. I'll take care of everything, don't worry."
I don't know why, maybe it's because his eyes are too deep, when his eyes are fixed on her, Xuancheng feels as hot as a bursting flame.
Hexi A'er led them away from Hexi Jilun's tent again, and said on the way back, "The leader of Hexi Jilun is the hero of our tribe, and we all call him Haidongqing."
"Haitongqing?" Xuancheng couldn't help admiring.
This is the highest totem among the grassland tribes. The grassland nomads have always had a strong personality cult. Only people who are as powerful as an eagle can be elected as the leader of the tribe, and they are called Haidongqing by the people in the tribe. , it can be seen that this Hexi Jilun is really capable.
Lian Chengyi said, "I was at the leader's house just now, but I didn't see his wife. He seems to be quite young."
"The leader of Hexi Jilun has always yearned for the Han people in the south. In the past, the leaders of the tribe were all intermarried with the Murong Xianbei tribe in the north. The women of the Murong Xianbei tribe were as wise as larks and as beautiful as cranes. Later, Tuoba Xianbei and Murong Xianbei Fighting endlessly, Murong Xianbei established Yan State, Tuoba Xianbei tribe established Dai State, Tuoba Xianbei ruled our Hexi tribe, and our marriage relationship with Murong Xianbei tribe was blocked. The leader of Hexi Jilun is now thirty-six He is still unmarried at this age, and he wants a beautiful Han woman as his wife."
"Do you also intermarry with Han people?"
Hexi A'er nodded, "Yes, the wife of the former leader was Han, but Hexi Jilun not only wanted to marry a Han woman, he also wanted a Han princess, so he didn't marry a wife until today."
"The princesses of the Han people have all traveled south to Stone City. When will your leader's wish come true?"
Hexi A'er shook his head, "I think you may have misunderstood, the Han princess I mentioned does not refer to the Han princess in Stone City, but also the princess in Chang'an City."
Lian Chengyi wondered, "The Fu family who ruled the north today is not Han, how could there be a Han princess in Chang'an?"
"The king of Qin was Sinicized for 22 years under the policy of the Han Prime Minister Wang Meng. Our leader Hexi Jilun said that in his opinion, marrying a princess from the Sima family who is far away by the sea is better than marrying a princess from the Fu family in Chang'an city. Princess."
After hearing this, Xuancheng couldn't help laughing secretly.
Hexi Jilun's wish was probably about to come to nothing.
Because King Qin no longer has a princess.
Hexi A'er sent them to his home, and it was completely dark outside at this time, he was going to live in Hexi Jilun's house, and left after instructing some trivial matters.
The three of them were silent in the tent. After a while, Xuancheng secretly laughed, and Lian Chengyi couldn't help asking, "What are you laughing at?"
"I laughed, the three of us really came to the grassland."
"What's so ridiculous about that?"
Xuancheng said, "I can't cook, oh no, I can cook, but I can't cook grassland people's food."
When he said this sentence in such a serious manner, even Cheng Yi and Murong Yong couldn't help laughing.
Lian Taiyi pointed to Murong Yong beside him, "Have you forgotten who he is?"
Having said that, Xuancheng patted himself on the forehead, "Ah, I really forgot, Murong Yong, then, you will be the one to cook for all of us during our days in the grassland."
This task is glorious and arduous, and Murong Yong will do his part.
