Yelu Hua Ge and Hua Gu's suspicion immediately attracted Zhu Li's attention.
You must know that the Khitans of this period had not yet invented their own writing system; and because they admired Chinese culture, it was not uncommon for them to communicate in Chinese even among the Khitans.
The conversation between Zhu Li and Yelu Huage was naturally conducted in Chinese.
Although it did not arouse the suspicion of the two at the beginning, Zhu Li knew very little about some of the inherent terms in the Khitan language.
If a person was a native Khitan, he would never feel unfamiliar with these traditional terms; and Zhu Li's doubts naturally aroused the suspicion of Yelu Huage and the other two.
Being aware of this, Zhu Li remained calm and composed, saying calmly, "Take me to see it."
"Uh, Sari is going to Nabo?" This suggestion surprised the two of them.
"Why, is it difficult?"
Zhu Li didn't understand the meaning of Nabo. Since it was a place where people were imprisoned, what exactly it was? Just go and take a look and you will know. It's a very simple thing.
But seeing the expressions of the two, Zhu Li's heart sank. Could it be that was an important place
"Sari, are you sure you want to go?" Yelu Huago looked a little unhappy when he heard that, but in order to get the non-existent antidote, he hesitated for a moment and couldn't help asking.
"Of course I will. Let's go now. You lead the way." Zhu Li had to find out the location where his sister was under house arrest no matter what. Since he had frightened Yelu Hua Ge and made him dare not disobey, he was not willing to let go of this opportunity.
Zhu Li insisted on going, and Yelu Huago thought about it for a moment before making up his mind. He immediately tidied up his appearance and stepped out of Hua Gu's tent first. Obviously, he wanted to show his performance by taking Zhu Li to that place.
On summer nights on the grassland, the sky seems even farther away, and the pitch-black sky appears infinitely deep.
The moon has no shadows and becomes brighter.
The scattered silver light makes people feel extremely comfortable, and they will be intoxicated by it unknowingly.
The lights in Yelu Shilu's yazhang community were dim, and most of the Khitans living here had already fallen asleep.
At this moment, it is midnight.
Yelu Huago took Zhu Li and walked around in circles until they headed straight for a separate camp. They thought that was their destination. As Yelu Shilu's son, with him leading the way, the two of them could travel unhindered.
Soon, a heavily guarded military camp appeared before the two.
There are also countless felt tents standing here. If viewed from the outside, it looks like a small tribe.
There were military tents, servants' tents, official tents, and even royal tents; the Khitans' "felt carts as camps and hard strongholds as palaces" were indeed not just talk; when Zhu Li saw this place, he immediately understood what the so-called "Nabo" meant.
If his guess was correct, Nabo refers to the camp; of course, it can also be called a temporary palace; the Khitan people's temporary palace is not like the temporary palace of the emperor in the Central Plains.
The palace of the emperor of the Central Plains was fixed at the place where it was built; but the palace of the Khitan people was movable. It was not surprising that there was a small palace next to the tent of King Yelu Shilu.
Although it was just a temporary palace, the defense here was no weaker than that of the King's Tent, and was even slightly stronger; because Zhu Li's sister was under house arrest in this palace.
Her identity absolutely determines the defensive force here; what's more, the firewood-collecting ceremony that Khitan is going to hold is held in her name. Yelu Shilu is counting on her name to come to power, so how could he relax the guard here
As soon as he arrived at the gate of the camp, he met two old acquaintances. Of course, they were Zhu Li's old acquaintances. One of them was Juqu Mengxun, whose arm had been cut off by Zhu Ya; as for the other one, he was obviously his old partner Tuoba Yi. These two were the reincarnations of rebellious heroic spirits.
As the master of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and influenced by it, Zhu Li would involuntarily feel a hint of murderous intent in his heart whenever he saw the reincarnation of a rebellious hero.
As the reincarnations of rebellious heroes, Juqu Mengxun and Tuoba Yi also had no good feelings towards Zhu Li when they saw him. They even felt as if they were seeing their natural enemy.
"Huagesali, who is this?" The natural aversion made Tuoba Yi and Juqu Mengxun, who were stationed here, instantly feel great hostility towards Zhu Li. They asked directly without caring about Yelu Huage's identity.
To be honest, when Yelu Huage saw these two people, he also felt uncomfortable and even a little nervous.
Tuoba Yi and Juqu Mengxun were both from the Khitan clan and were famous warriors. They were only loyal to Yelu Shilu and had no respect for Yelu Shilu's son.
Coupled with their murderous aura and eyes that could scare away ghosts and gods, it would be strange for the cowardly Yelu Huage to feel comfortable seeing them.
Faced with the questioning of the two, Yelu Huage became embarrassed because he didn't know who Zhu Li was.
But Zhu Li didn't let him feel embarrassed for too long, and immediately said calmly: "I am Mie Di, from the Bode tribe."
"The Bird Tribe?" Upon hearing the news, not only Yelu Huago was a little surprised, but even Tuoba Yi and Juqu Mengxun were also very surprised.
Among the eight Khitan tribes, the Bird tribe was not considered powerful, but it was of great significance to the lineage of Yelu Shilu.
In history, after Liao Taizu Yelü Abaoji founded the country and ascended the throne, the Bode tribe was still ranked as the first-level Zhasa and was under the jurisdiction of Yongxing Palace, which shows the strength of this tribe.
What's more, the Diela tribe is now ruled by Yelu Shilu, and the great benefactor of Yelu Shilu's lineage is Tayak of the Bird tribe.
Back then, Yelu Shilu's father, Yelu Junde, was murdered by the great nobleman Yelu Langde; Yelu Shilu's mother, Xiao Yueliduo, took her four sons and the newly born Yelu Abaoji and hid in the Tayak tribe who sympathized with their plight. They were taken care of and lived there for a long time.
Later, Puguzhi, who was also a noble, designed a plan to kill Yelu Langde, took back all the power of Yelu Shilu's lineage, and returned it to them. This led to the current Yelu Shilu who is in his prime.
Whether it is Tayak or Puguji, if you think about it carefully, they are both benefactors of their lineage.
Zhu Li admitted that he was from the Bird tribe, which made the three people who heard the news feel difficult to deal with him.
Zhu Li's current description, with shaved hair and open chest, and a golden wolf pattern on his chest, makes him a noble from the Bird tribe at first glance; if the noble children of the Benren tribe encounter such a playboy, if they fail to handle him properly, they will bring countless insults to Yelu Shilu.
If the other party has any relationship with Tayak, it would be even more unbearable; as a subject, one must not only cherish his own feathers, but also cherish the feathers of his master. This is why the three of them feel it is difficult.
"So you are Hu Si from the Bird tribe. I wonder what brings you here?" Since Zhu Li had explained his origins, although Tuoba Yi still disliked Zhu Li, his tone became more polite. (Hu Si: A warrior as brave as a tiger)
"What are you doing?" Zhu Li sneered and glanced at them indifferently. "The Diela tribe is going to hold a firewood gathering. Who among the eight tribes doesn't know about this?"
"The event will decide who will be the strongest, and he will also marry a Han Chinese girl. I, Yelu Miedi, as one of the participating warriors, am very curious about who this girl is who is worthy of being the first warrior, and how she can make so many warriors from the eight tribes fight for her."
"Today, I just want to come and see what this girl looks like. If she looks too shabby, then I don't think there is any need for me to participate in that crappy firewood-collecting event." Zhu Li looked at the three of them with a cynical expression.
Hearing what Zhu Li said, the three of them cursed each other as bastards in their hearts; they broke into Yu Yue's camp in the middle of the night just to confirm whether the Han girl was worthy of his participation in the event and whether this guy was too boring.
Tuoba Yi and Juqu Mengxun were fine, as they felt that Zhu Li was a little too energetic and didn't know the seriousness of the situation. He was simply a rude person. However, when Yelu Huago heard what Zhu Li said, he was so frustrated that he wanted to find a piece of tofu and kill himself.
Damn it, how unlucky he must be. Just because of this insignificant idea of the other party, he, Yelu Huage, was not only caught by the other party, but also poisoned. He only had seven days to live. How could he not feel wronged
He no longer even had the heart to curse Zhu Li. All he could do was wail silently and feel filled with grief and indignation.
"Do you know that this is Yu Yue Nabo?" Juqu Mengxun asked Zhu Li indignantly with a bad look on his face.
"What if I know, what if I don't know?"
"I just went in to take a look. It won't cost me a single piece of meat. Does that girl have no face to see anyone?"
"In other words, if you meet her in person, you will not be interested in fighting for her. The so-called sister of General Huaihua is just a nice gimmick?" Zhu Li spoke aggressively, as if questioning Yelu Shilu's intentions.
"You..." Upon hearing that Zhu Li dared to question Yelu Shilu, the irritable Juqu Mengxun almost went berserk and was about to rush up and beat Zhu Li up.
But at this moment, Tuoba Yi narrowed his eyes and immediately reached out to stop Juqu Mengxun's impulse, interrupting him and saying, "Since Di Shali has been destroyed, it is not impossible for us to meet Zhu Ning'er."
"However, we two brothers are only responsible for patrolling the perimeter. Even if we let you in, you may not see the lady."
"If you really want to meet that lady, you have to ask our Gao Dujian or our Gao Xiangyin." Tuoba Yi looked at Zhu Li with a forced smile and said provocatively.
"Yes, that's right."
"Hey, little tiger from the Bird tribe, I hope you don't pee your pants when you see our Gao Dujian, hahaha." Upon hearing Tuoba Yi asking Zhu Li to meet the so-called Gao Dujian, Juqu Mengxun's anger instantly turned into sarcasm, with an expression of gloating on his face.
The expressions of the two made Zhu Li immediately alert. Could it be that this Gao Dujian was a supernatural being
With the martial arts of Tuoba Yi and Juqu Mengxun, they would definitely be peerless generals in the army. What kind of powerful character would Gao Dujian be, whom even they respect and fear
