Chapter 186
Zhou Xian Yang meets with Rong, and together with Xiao Nan and Xiao Bei, they head to the all-important Sang Yan tribe.
The four of them disguise themselves as stray herdsmen, a couple with their younger siblings and a few poor sheep, and stop on the tribe’s migration route.
The Sangyan tribe was in a hurry to recruit young men and women for the uprising, and when they saw how homeless they were, they had no doubts and enlisted them in the army.
Zhou Xian Yang and Xiao Bei joined the archery team, while Xiang Xiang and Xiao Nan were in charge of cooking, so they were smoothly integrated into the army.
For the first few days, the four of them kept a low profile.
Although Xiangmian had been pampered for so many years, there was nothing technical about cooking food for hundreds of people, so he quickly followed the grandmother’s lead and got the hang of it.
One day when Xiangmian and Xiaonan finished packing their cooking utensils and were about to go look for Yang Zhou Xian, they were suddenly blocked by a few rough and dark men, who were talking dirty Bei Zhen language, such as robbing them back, sleeping with them, and so on…….
Xiaonan immediately clenched her fists, Rong Xiangxian held her down, smilingly said: “Want the two of us can also, in accordance with the rules of the grassland, and my husband and the martial arts duel. Whoever is the real warrior, we will follow him!”
Those few people, in the grasslands have never seen such a watery and pretty girl, so they have a thief’s heart. When they were stared at by Xiangmian’s charming eyes, they were even more excited to be warriors.
At this time, Zhou Xian Yang and Xiao Bei had just finished their archery training. A few days before, they pretended to know nothing and repeatedly missed their targets, but under General Hua Bin’s training, their archery skills had improved so much that the general who recruited them was extremely pleased and said that he wanted to recommend them to Sang Yan’s side as his guards in the future.
Of course, this is just talk.
While they were chatting happily, Zhou Xian Yang was dragged to the dueling arena.
The dueling ground was actually just a grassy field where a group of Northern real people sat around a sea at sunset. Zhou handed his bow and arrows to Xiao Bei and walked into the circle alone, where Aimi and Xiao Nan immediately jumped up and cheered him on.
The big man who had started to harass Xiangmian was called Kun Tai, and was as big as a tower. When he saw Zhou Xian Yang himself, he snorted and raised his thick eyebrows on his dark face at Xiangmian: “You’re mine now.”
Zhou Xian Yang had not yet understood the situation, but hearing this, handsome eyebrows knit, his body like electricity forced to Kun Tai near, Kun Tai raised his hand to grab Zhou Xian Yang’s shoulder, he immediately sunk his shoulders, lowered his body, passed through the armpits of Kun Tai, pulling his back, back waist force, a few hundred kilograms of strong man in the air and knocked him down.
“Ah! Makin! My hero!” Rong Xiangmian shouted Zhou Xianyang’s name, who had been mixed up in the Northern True Kingdom, and let out a loud cry. Zhou Xian Yang was used to seeing Xiangmian’s introverted and shy demeanor, and had never seen her confess in such a straightforward manner, so he couldn’t help but be amused.
At that moment, Kun Tai rose to his feet amidst the boos, and with a gloomy face, he once again pounced on Zhou Xian Yang. In order to avoid being exposed, Zhou Xian Yang was unable to use all the kung fu he had learned from the Rong Family Army.
Fortunately, as a child, he had learned traditional grassland wrestling techniques from the warriors of the Northern True Kingdom, and over the years, he had been in fierce battles that required close combat, so he knew the techniques by heart.
In the face of raging Kun Tai, Zhou Xian Yang does not fight with him, only grabbed him by the waistband, will be his center of gravity to bring the deviation of the feet of a trip, Kun Tai and heavy face down, smashed into the grass, smashed on the ground out of a “mask” to, and then the nosebleed straight.
Blood covered face, because of anger, even more horrible, Kun Tai hobbled up, roared, take out the life of the stance to fight back, the more this kind of head moment, the more only brute force only, Zhou Xian Yang easily avoided, do not bother to fight back.
Kun Tai was insulted and grabbed a long knife from one of the soldiers sitting around and slashed at Zhou Xian Yang, who turned back to take the bow and arrows thrown by Xiao Bei and instantly drew the bow to full capacity.
Bows and arrows are long-range attack weapons, and do not have an advantage in such close combat, but Zhou Xian Yang was extremely quick, and the arrow whistled towards Kun Tai, piercing straight into his left shoulder, and the long knife fell to the ground with a loud thud.
Zhou Xian Yang glanced at Kun Tai, who was wailing in pain, and asked in a loud voice: “Who else dares to look at Mu Ren’s wife? I’ll gouge out your eyeballs and eat them sizzling.”
After saying this, the crowd roared with laughter.
A few of Kun Tai’s friends immediately swarmed up to fight with Zhou Xian Yang.
They had seen this kind of scene too many times. Xiao Bei immediately jumped into the fray to protect Zhou Xian Yang. The two of them were outnumbered, but they didn’t lose.
Xiao Nan was even more unable to stand, and was dragged back by Rong Xiangmian, “Don’t go, he’ll be fine.”
After saying that, she raised her head and glanced at the opposite crowd.
Someone in the crowd immediately spoke up to stop her, and it was the general who had taught Zhou Xian Yang archery, and was also an important person under Sang Yan’s command – Hua Bin. His words carried a lot of weight.
Wrestling on the grassland, the convention is a time to determine the winner, Kun Tai lost the first hand, a repeat is considered to be justifiable, the subsequent messing around is unreasonable, the knife is no warrior demeanor.
“You again do not abide by the rules, Dr. Ji Fang will not give Kun Tai to pull out the arrow to treat the wound.” Hua Bin spoke, and Kun Tai’s people were immediately honest. If they were not treated in time, the wounds were likely to become infected, and if they were serious, they would die. The crowd followed suit, and Kun Tai’s accomplices lost their nerve and had to pull Kun Tai away resentfully.
Shortly after, another man came forward to challenge Zhou Xian Yang, not to get his wife, but simply because he had found out that there was such a man in the tribe and wanted to compete with him.
This exhausted Zhou Xian Yang, who took on a dozen or so opponents in succession until the sun had dropped to the horizon and it was time for dinner.
Once again, Hua Bin intervened to stop the match, saying that he would fight another day. Zhou Xian Yang gave him a grateful look and nodded his head in greeting before walking towards the crowd and in front of Rong Xiangmian.
Xiangmian’s face was illuminated by the setting sun, as gorgeous as the evening sun, becoming more and more like a woman in the grasslands. She raised her hand and wiped Zhou Xian Yang’s sweat: “Mu Ren is the greatest warrior in the grasslands.”
Zhou Xian Yang smiled somewhat sheepishly, and with a short stance carried Rong Xiangmian up, carrying her to sit on his right shoulder, and walked through the crowd, heading out amidst an uproar.
Rong Xiangmian was now sitting at the highest point of the grassland, and the sea of green was still boundless as far as the eye could see. Her hair was tousled by the grass-scented wind, and for a moment she forgot about her exhaustive efforts over the past few days, forgetting that she was the Yü Wangfei of the Central Plains, and was just an A Ruina on the grassland, going home with Mu Ren.
This unrestrained emotion only lasted for a moment.
“Alas, Aruna still has to build a fire and cook!”
“No cooking for them. Whoever dares to bully you in the future will starve them.”
“Stop it ……”
The two were tossing and turning when suddenly a group of people behind them shouted, “See the king, see the princess.”
Rong Xiangxian was startled and followed the crowd’s line of sight to see a tall, stout Northern True Man holding his petite and delicate wife, standing not far away.
“Put me down!” Xiang Xiang slapped Zhou Xian Yang’s face, and the two of them honestly bowed according to the rules of the Northern Real Men.
Sang Yan had indeed come.
He himself had relied on the two skills of dueling with bow and arrow and wrestling to sit as the tribe’s leader, so he particularly enjoyed spectating such occasions.
And Sang Yan’s wife, with her lively personality, pointed at them and said, “Look, when I look at them, I think of when I was young, when you also defeated several warriors who were courting me before carrying me back to Abba’s house to propose marriage.”
Remembering the youthful days of the past, Sang Yan had a winning face and waved this way. Zhou Xian Yang immediately led Rong Xiangmian over to salute.
Hua Bin also came up and strongly praised Zhou Xian Yang’s performance during this time. Learning that he was a member of the archery team, Sang Yan was excited and immediately wanted to compete with Zhou Xian Yang.
Rong Xiangmian was a bit worried, fearing that Zhou Xianyang, like herself, had left the confines of the Jinling and had gotten a bit carried away on the grasslands, and was too sharp for his own good.
It turned out that she was overly worried.
Although Sang Yan had been in a high position for many years, her archery skills had not deteriorated at all, and each of her three arrows hit the bull’s eye. Zhou Xianyang lost to Sang Yan in each of the three arrows, but his arrows were only slightly off the center of the target.
She knew that Zhou Xian Yang had done this on purpose, and thought to herself, “You’re really good at kissing ass.
When Sang Yan saw this, he was really in a happy mood, and patted Zhou Xian Yang’s shoulder, saying, “Good boy, you will come to my side of the guard from now on, and when the king gives you some pointers, you will hopefully be able to compete with Hua Bin.”
For a moment, Zhou Xian Yang felt that this had come too easy, while Sang Yan’s royal consort then offered, “Mu Ren’s wife, when she is really beautiful, will come and serve by my side in the future.”
This was to keep Rong Xiangmian by her side as a hostage to ensure Zhou Xianyang’s loyalty.
This move, on the contrary, was exactly what she wanted, Rong Xiangmian immediately smiled and said, “This is my honor, it’s just that Mu Ren’s sister, can’t speak, I have to stay with her day in and day out to take care of her, so could Your Highness keep her as a rough servant girl. She is very diligent!”
Hearing this, Xiao Nan timidly hid behind Xiangmian, revealing a pair of big, ebony eyes from her shoulders, carefully sizing up the crown princess.
Are there still too many hostages? Princess Sang Yan immediately nodded her head in agreement, and Aimi smiled as she hurriedly taught Xiao Nan to salute.
The plan was initially reached, and both Xiangmian and Xian Yang breathed a sigh of relief.
At night, after the king and princess rested, the four of them finally had nothing else to do, and took advantage of the moonlight to run a horse to the Fairy Lake, which was far away from the tribal gathering place. This lake is the upper reaches of the Liangshui River flows through this place, encountered higher terrain formation, the lake water is clear, in the daytime in the sunshine, such as the famous glass seed emerald, clear and flawless.
Zhou Xian Yang and Xiao Bei two back to the lake, a left and a right guard sentry, Xiang Xiang and Xiao Nan immediately borrowed the grass cover, took off their clothes and jumped into the lake, painfully soaked a bath.
“Cold?”
“Not cold.”
The two of them comfortably washed away the dust and sweat of the day, and had just dried off and changed clothes to go ashore, when they saw Yang Zhou Xian make a wink and a gesture, “Someone is following us.”
“Huh?” Aizumi subconsciously tightened his collar.
“It’s fine, it’s far away, you’re in the lake, you can’t be seen from outside.”
Zhou Xian Yang smiled and got up, walking to the edge of the lake, waving his head at Rong Xiangmian, “No peeking.”
Rong Xiangshi rolled his eyes, “I won’t even look if you pay me.”
Xiao Nan covered her mouth and laughed, turning their backs together and starting to give them a lookout.
Zhou Xian Yang soaked in the lake water, letting out a sigh of enjoyment, and added, “Xiao Nan and Xiao Bei, go around later, quietly take their horses away, and take advantage of the opportunity to take those guys down.”
“Yes.”
When they had gone, Xiang Xiang sat on the lake shore and watched the lake water swirl with soft moonlight, striking bright and dusky shadows on Zhou Xian Yang’s naked body.
“Why don’t you get dressed and get up.”
Zhou Xian Yang let out a light laugh and moved closer to her, “To lure the enemy in.”
“Huh?” Xiang Xiang’s eyes suddenly widened, and she was suddenly wrapped in a wet body and fell into the lush grass.
Raising her eyes was the starry sky and the face with a smile.
