lnmao.org, the fastest update of the latest chapters of the East Palace!
The noisy voices of the children made me uneasy, but Aweng’s voice came straight through the crowd: "We are all warriors, whether they are Turkic or not." Everyone gave up for the big deal. One way, Aweng walked out slowly. He glanced at the wolf corpse on the ground, nodded, and then nodded to Gu Xiaowu, saying: "Okay!"
If you want a big compliment, it's harder than letting the snow on the top of Tiangen Mountain melt away. But Gu Xiaowu killed the White-eyed Wolf King. Da Shanyu personally promised that whoever could kill the White-eyed Wolf King would marry me.
I didn't expect this person to be Gu Xiaowu. I followed him and kept asking him **** the White-eyed Wolf King.
He said lightly: "I took people to sell tea and passed by. I happened to encounter a pack of wolves and killed the wolf."
I opened my mouth slightly, not believing it. It is said that King Yue brought 30,000 horses into Tiangen Mountain, and did not find a single hair of the White-eyed Wolf King. But if Gu Xiaowu’s tea leaves passed by, could he kill the White-eyed Wolf King?
I don't believe it when killed!
However, what Da Shanyu said must count. Many people in Turks are starting to talk about it. Seeing this tea vendor in the Central Plains, it is really about to marry the princess of Xiliang. Gu Xiaowu was regarded as a hero. I still think he was bluffing, but that day he got drunk and quarreled with him, and the two of them had a match.
Their competition is very boring. It's better than shooting bats on the grassland in the dark. Whoever shoots more will win.
Only those who have shot a bat know how difficult it is to shoot.
Although the Turkic people felt that the defeat was set, they still made a bet. I also think that Heshi is set to win. Although the bones of his right hand are not good, even if Heshi uses his left hand, no one in the entire Turkic can match his magic arrow.
This competition took less than half a day, and it spread to everyone. Everyone else said that he wanted to marry me. After all, he was the most powerful samurai under the tent, and he might still be the most powerful general under the tent. And I, although the princess of Xiliang, everyone knows that Da Shanyu likes me the most. If I marry me, Da Shanyu will definitely trust him more.
But I don't think He lost will have these strange ideas. I think maybe Adu told him that I don't want to marry Gu Xiaowu.
Although I feel vaguely, Gu Xiaowu is not an ordinary tea dealer. But I still hope that I will not marry so early.
The Turkic priests sang hymns, drained the blood of the sheep into the wine bowl, and then handed the wine bowl to the two heroes who were about to compete. Both of them drank in one breath. The two of them are going to a showdown tonight. He Shi is a famous hero among the Turkic tribe, and Gu Xiaowu, because of the White-eyed Wolf King, is regarded as a hero by many Turkic people, and the competition between these two people makes everyone feel excited. And I feel very embarrassed, I don't know what I hope the result will be.
If Gu Xiaowu wins, do I really have to marry him?
What if he wins? Am I going to marry He lost?
I was taken aback by this thought. Hermit was just teaching Gu Xiaowu on my behalf to make him less arrogant, just like Hermit was teaching the kids who sang outside Adu’s tent, if they made trouble If it is too powerful, He will try to calm them down.
I think it's the same. Gu Xiaowu killed the White-eyed Wolf King, and no one was convinced.
He still didn't care, and openly said to Aon that he wanted to marry me.
That's why Heshi wanted to teach him a lesson.
In this competition, even Da Shanyu had heard of it. He was very interested and wanted to see it in person. I was anxious, and following Aweng, along with the crowd watching the crowd, rushed out and walked to the river. The warrior with a big bill in front of the tent took the arrows and piled the arrows on the feet of the two. He lost his own bow. Seeing that Gu Xiaowu was empty-handed, he said to Gu Xiaowu: "Lend you my bow."
Gu Xiaowu nodded, but Da Shanyu smiled and said, "Can't you find a bow in our Turkic camp?"
Da Shanyu gave Gu Xiaowu an iron bow. I can make trouble for Gu Xiaowu. This iron bow is heavier than ordinary bows. With his weak writing appearance, I am afraid that I have to open the bow. difficult. He lost I was afraid that this was also thought of. He did not want to take advantage of Gu Xiaowu, and said to Da Shanyu: "Let him use my bow. Da Shanyu will give me this bow."
Da Shanyu shook his head and said, "I can't even pull a bow, do you still want to marry my granddaughter?"
The onlookers all laughed. Many Turks did not believe that the White-eyed Wolf King was really killed by Gu Xiaowu, so they still had a trace of contempt. Gu Xiaowu held the bow, as if playing a piano, plucking the bowstring with his fingers. The bowstring rattled, and the laughter of the onlookers grew louder. He was born pure and gentle, like the Central Plains musicians bought from the Turkic noble tents. Now he strums the bowstring like this, which makes Turkic people look down upon.
The sky was getting dark, and the sky by the river was full of bats. Da Shanyu nodded and said, "Let's get started."
He Shi and Gu Xiaowu are surrounded by a hundred arrows. Whoever shoots a hundred bats first wins. He Shi opened his bow first. Although he used his left hand, his arrows were all dazzling, but in the blink of an eye, bats fell from the sky. But Gu Xiaowu here was slow to draw five arrows and slowly hit the bowstring.
I called out "Gu Xiaowu." Although I don't know if he can shoot arrows, he should know that the arrows are shot one after another. Gu Xiaowu turned his head, smiled at me, and pulled out the bow.
To be honest, I didn't expect it at all. He pulled the bow easily. Not only did he pull the bow, but the five arrows were fired in a row, as fast as a shooting star, almost connecting end to end, and the people next to him couldn't help but exclaim.
"Lenzhu Arrow! Lianzhu Arrow!" Several Turkic aristocrats were shouting in shock, and even Da Shanyu nodded uncontrollably. The former general, the good commander Lianzhu Arrow, used this Lianzhu Arrow technique to shoot and kill the Turkic King Zuo Tuqi. But that is a legend after all. Decades have passed and the nobles of the Turkic have never seen Lianzhu arrows. And Gu Xiaowu did it in one go, firing five arrows every time. Although the bats flew randomly, he couldn't help firing arrows and arrows, and the black bats fell on his feet, like a messy torrential rain. Although He lost shot fast, he was not as fast as he did. In a short while, Gu Xiaowu shot the hundred arrows. The slaves picked up the bats and became a black mass on the bank of the river. A hundred bats are like a hundred weird black flowers, stacked together to become huge black hills.
Although He lost a hundred bats, he shot slower than Gu Xiaowu.
He lost his face calmly and said: "I lost."
Gu Xiaowu said: "I can only send arrows with a strong bow. If you change your bow, I will be slower than you. Moreover, your right hand is inconvenient, and you rely on your left hand to force you. If you want to say that I won you , That is my victory. Neither of us loses. You are a true warrior. If your hand is not injured, I must be no better than you."
Gu Xiaowu's arrow skills have shocked everyone. Seeing him so frankly speaking, the crowd couldn't help but cried out. Turkic people have an easy-going temperament, and they like to act happily. People like Gu Xiaowu can greatly oppose the Turkic temper. Da Shanyu smiled happily: "Yes, we Turkic warriors did not lose." He looked at Gu Xiaowu and said, "Central Plains, come on, what kind of reward do you want?"
"Da Shanyu, you have given me the most precious things." Gu Xiaowu seemed to be smiling, "In this world, what is more precious than your little princess?"
Da Shanyu laughed loudly, and the other Turkic aristocrats were also happy, and this marriage was really settled like this.
The priest chose the auspicious season and took advantage of the good autumn weather to hold a wedding for us. I hesitated very much and asked Adu quietly, "Do you think it is better for me to marry this person or not to marry this person?"
Adu looked at me with her dark eyes, her eyes are always calm and serene. I couldn't make up my mind myself, and finally I got bold enough and asked Gu Xiaowu to meet by the river.
I don't know what to say to him, but if I marry him in such a silly way, I always feel a little uneasy.
In the autumn evening, the night breeze is already quite cool. I wrapped my leather robe and wandered by the river, listening to the river "swooshing" and the sound of wild geese calling in the distance, I lifted Start looking around. A bright star has risen to the west, and the sky is deep purple, like grape jelly.
The wind made the rustle of Achnatherum splendens, and Gu Xiaowu stepped on the Achnatherum splendens and walked towards me.
I suddenly felt a panic in my heart. He wore a Turkic robe, like all Turks, with a machete stuck in his waist. These days, Gu Xiaowu is very fond of Da Shanyu. Not only is he unique in arrow skills, but he also speaks Turkic dialect. Although he is a native of the Central Plains, Da Shanyu trusts him more and more. The bow was given to him.
And since the competition that night, He lost almost became brothers with him. Gu Xiaowu taught Heshi how to make Lianzhu Arrow, and Heshi also taught him some things on the grassland. Every time Da Shan Yu sees them two, he can't help but nod in relief. He lost even exchanged knives with Gu Xiaowu-the Turkic exchanged knives, in fact, they were righteous and killed the enemy. Righteous brothers were even more intimate than their own brothers, and they were willing to die for each other. So Gu Xiaowu’s belt actually had Heshi's scimitar inserted. As soon as I saw the knife, I remembered that Heshi once handed it to my hand and urged me to go first.
Gu Xiaowu also saw me, he smiled at me from a distance, and I smiled at him. Seeing his smile, I suddenly calmed down. Although I did not speak, he did not speak, but he must understand why I asked him here. Sure enough, he said to me: "I brought you something."
My heart is pounding, isn't it a belt? If he wants to give me his belt, how should I answer? According to the customs of Turks and Xiliang, men don’t give out their belts until they sing...Neither did he sing to me. I felt embarrassed in my heart, and a heart was beating fast and fast, but I heard him say in my ears: "You haven't eaten enough tonight? I brought you a large piece of grilled lamb chops!"
I was so angry that I couldn't even speak, my cheeks bulged, and it took a long time to say: "You are not full!"
Gu Xiaowu's face was inexplicable: "Of course I am full... I think you didn't eat anything at night, so I brought you a lamb chop."
I was muffled and angry, listening to unknown birds singing in the distance. The river was "screaming", and a fish in the water jumped up and splashed with water. Gu Xiaowu put the big piece of fragrant lamb chops in front of me. I really didn't eat anything at night, because I was thinking about dating Gu Xiaowu by the river, so I didn't know how to eat at night. Now I see this fragrant lamb chop, my stomach is rumbling. He laughed and handed the knife to me and said, "Eat!"
The lamb chops are so delicious! I ate with oily mouth and asked him happily: "How do you know that I love lamb chops?"
Gu Xiaowu said something in the Central Plains, but I didn't understand it. He said it to me again in Turkic. It turned out to be: "There is nothing difficult in the world, I am afraid that there are people with a heart."
I've never heard of such a sentence, but I don't know why it moved in my heart.
A person with a heart, what kind of talent is a person with a heart? Although Gu Xiaowu and I have not known each other for a long time, I always feel that I have known him for a long time. Maybe it's because we have experienced so many things between us, every time he helps me and protects me. Although he always makes me angry every time he says, but these words make me not angry. The two of us sat silently by the river, and from a distance came the singing of Turkic people. It was a subtle love song. Turkic warriors would always sing outside the tent of their beloved girl and sing to her all the words of their hearts. listen.
I have never felt that singing is so beautiful, misty like fairy music. The fireflies flying in the grass by the river are like misty meteors, and like a handful of golden sand scattered by someone. I even think that those shining little bugs are the messengers of the gods. They carry delicate lanterns and shimmer in the cool night. The camp on the other side of the river was also littered with fires, and the laughter and joy seemed to have passed through the sky. I suddenly realized that if the gods looked down on the world from the clouds of the Nine Heavens, would it feel the same way? So misty, so illusory, so distant and fuzzy.
I finally asked Gu Xiaowu: "Are you willing to marry me?"
Gu Xiaowu seemed a little surprised. He glanced at me and said, "Of course I do."
"But I have a bad temper, and you are from the Central Plains, I am from Xiliang, you like to eat millet rice, I like to eat mutton. You speak Central Plains, I don’t understand, and I do I don't understand. If you are asked to stay in Xiliang, it is thousands of miles away from the Central Plains, you will definitely miss home. If you are asked not to stay in Xiliang and go back to the Central Plains, where it is thousands of miles away from Xiliang, I will definitely miss home. Although you killed the White-eyed Wolf King, you may not be because of me. You also said that you just passed by while selling tea...Although I am young, I also know that this kind of thing is reluctant..."
I kept talking a lot. From the time we first met until now, I have talked about all the inconveniences, and it was dry. Gu Xiaowu didn't interrupt me, until he watched me put down the lamb chops to drink water, he asked: "I said so much, but it's actually something outside of the body. I only ask you whether you want to marry. Give it to me?"
The water in my mouth almost squirted out. I stared at him for a long while, and suddenly his face became hot: "Will you...well..."
"Say it!" He urged me, "Do you want it or not?"
My heart is very confused, the scenes these days have been like phantoms and dreams. There are so many things and so fast. I really never thought about marrying so quickly before, but Gu Xiaowu, I thought he was quite annoying at first, but now I can't. I don’t know how to answer it. Looking at the little autumn fireflies flying all over the sky, I suddenly lost my heart and said: "Then you catch me a hundred fireflies, and I will promise you."
As soon as this sentence was uttered, he stood up abruptly. I stared at him in a daze, but he was like a urchin, and even raised his hand and turned a big somersault. I saw him as if he was soaring into the sky, like a star-no no, meteors wouldn't be like this, he was almost falling into the riverbank. Suddenly he waved his hand. I saw that he grabbed several fireflies. Those elves shone lightly between his fingers. I lifted the hem of my robe and said anxiously: "Quick! Quick! "He put those fireflies into my pocket made of clothes, and I watched him jump up again. The martial arts of Central Plains is like a painting, a poem, and freehand brushwork. His every move is like dancing, but there is no such heroic dance in the world. He spins at an incredible angle in mid-air, chasing those misty fireflies. His sleeves brought a breeze, and I pointed him in the direction: "Left! There are better on the left!" "Oh!" "Run! Over there! Oh, there are better there!"
……
The laughter of the two of us floated far away from the river bank. There were more and more fireflies in my clothes, and they glowed together, like a bright moon, held by me. In the arms. All the fireflies by the river were gone, they were all caught by Gu Xiaowu and put into my arms.
"There are a hundred, right?" He approached me, with his head next to my head, and opened a corner of my dress with his long fingers, "Would you like to count?"
