Liu Ziqiu and Xiang Li Qingtian are having a lot of fun together these days, and sometimes they inadvertently do some intimate actions, such as scratching her hair, or even riding together. Xiang Li Qingtian is just a ten-year-old boy.
In Liu Ziqiu's eyes, the one-year-old girl really regarded her as a younger sister.
Now, Liu Ziqiu suddenly realized that he was wrong. In the Qiang village, it is common for people to get married at the age of eleven or twelve. Even Gao Xiuer, a Han, already felt that she was an older girl when she was only fourteen. And the Qiang people
His character is more open-minded, and it is really possible that Xiang Liqing has fallen in love with him innocently.
Wang Li Qingtian saw that Liu Ziqiu suddenly stopped talking in the middle of the sentence, and became nervous instead, asking: "Brother Ziqiu, am I not good-looking?"
"No, you are very beautiful." Because he always regarded Xiang Li Qingtian as a child, Liu Ziqiu really didn't pay close attention to her in the past. Now when he took a look, he realized that she was really a little beauty, but it was a pity that she was too young and not Liu Ziqiu.
dishes.
But Qingli Qingtian asked reluctantly: "Then why don't you want to be my elder brother?"
Liu Ziqiu shook his head helplessly and said, "Because I already have a sister at home."
Gao Xiuer and he lived life and death together. No matter what, he could not do anything to regret Gao Xiuer. Not to mention that Xiang Li Qingtian was just a little beauty. Even if a stunning beauty stood in front of him, he believed that he had enough determination.
.
Unexpectedly, Li Qingtian burst into laughter and said, "No one is forcing you to have only one sister. I can..."
Before she could finish her words, a horse came galloping in the distance, and the man immediately shouted loudly: "Qingtian, your brother is back and tells you to go back to the village quickly!"
Liu Ziqiu glanced at the man. Although he couldn't name him, he recognized him as a villager from the Xiangli tribe's village. The sudden appearance of the villagers relieved Liu Ziqiu. He pulled Xiangli Qingtian up and said loudly: "Let's go quickly.
Don't keep your brother waiting."
Although the daughter of the Qiang family is open-minded and courageous, she took the initiative to confess her love to Liu Ziqiu in Qingtian, which also took great courage. Seeing that she was about to reach the last moment, she was ruined by the villager's shout, causing her success to fall short.
Qingtian was somewhat reluctant and whipped the horse whip fiercely. The fiery red horse was in pain and flew forward, leaving Liu Ziqiu far behind.
Liu Ziqiu shook his head and rode in hot pursuit. After all, his riding skills were not as good as those of others, and he was always one horse behind. Suddenly, several horses came out from a distance. The person sitting on the first horse was also a Qiang girl. Liu Ziqiu vaguely felt that there was something wrong with him.
Saw it somewhere.
The horses came very quickly, and they were close in a blink of an eye. The girl on the horse shouted something in Qiang language, which Liu Ziqiu couldn't understand. But Li Qingtian suddenly reined in the horse and jumped down. If
Liu Ziqiu's riding skills had improved by leaps and bounds in the past few days, so he quickly stopped the reins and almost hit her.
The girl also jumped off the horse, ran over, took Li Qingtian's hand, sang and danced, and spun around happily, as if she was an old friend reunited after being separated for many years. Suddenly, the girl saw Liu Ziqiu, and her face showed surprise.
Ran color.
"It's you!"
Liu Ziqiu also recognized the girl, and the two of them exclaimed almost at the same time.
Xiang Li Qingtian glanced at Liu Ziqiu suspiciously, then at the girl, frowned and asked: "Sister Qianyu, do you know her?"
These words were spoken in Chinese, obviously for Liu Ziqiu to hear, and there was clearly a hint of vigilance in her tone. The girl's eyes when looking at Liu Ziqiu were indeed a bit fiery. She was Tuoba Mumi's daughter, Princess Dangxiang.
Tuoba Qianyu.
Tuoba Qianyu "Gege" smiled and said: "I know him even if I say he knows me, and I don't know him even if I don't know him. I've seen him before, but I don't know his name. By the way, why are you with him?"
Xiang Li Qingtian secretly breathed a sigh of relief and refused to tell the truth. He hesitated and said: "He came to see my brother. My brother went to your village. I can't disrespect the guest and accompany him around. Let's go,
Let’s go back quickly.”
When Liu Ziqiu heard about it, he knew that the later girl was from a noble family of the Tuoba tribe, but he didn't know why Xiangli Qingtian was friends with her, because in Liu Ziqiu's impression, the Tuoba tribe and the Wangli tribe were not close.
In fact, what Liu Ziqiu didn't know was that although there were often overt and covert fights among the various departments of the party, they were also often married to each other, especially girls who moved around frequently. Tuoba Qianyu was only two years older than Li Qingtian, and since
We often play together when we are young, and our relationship is as good as best friends.
The pair of best friends were walking in front of Liu Ziqiu at this time, laughing and joking. The two of them looked back at Liu Ziqiu from time to time. Tuoba Qianyu's eyes were still as fiery, but towards Li Qingtian, the corners of his mouth were raised, with a look on his face.
Proud. But Liu Ziqiu didn't know that these two best friends, who were as good as one person, were secretly competing for him and jealous. Xiang Li Qingtian felt that he had the upper hand, but Tuoba Qianyu seemed to be confident.
Because the best friends walked too slowly, it was completely dark when they returned to the village. A large number of bonfires were lit in the village, and many young men and women sang and danced around the bonfire. Liu Ziqiu had lived in the village for a few days and knew that there had been no news recently.
There is no grand Qiang festival, which only means that there is a guest in the village, and the guest's status is very noble. Although Liu Ziqiu is admired and respected by the villagers, he is not qualified to enjoy this treatment.
Sure enough, two Qiang men were greeted from the village, followed by a large group of people. Liu Ziqiu knew these two Qiang men. One was Xiang Liduoyun who had been his prisoner, and the other was Li Ji Mutton.
I met him in the shop.
"Brother," the two girls let go of their hands and each threw themselves into the arms of a Qiang man. However, they turned around and said, "Look, who is here!"
Liu Ziqiu was tall and had an obvious goal. In fact, Tuoba Yuanju and Xiang Liduoyun had seen it a long time ago, but they were discussing some important matter and could not pay attention to it for the moment. Now that the two girls had pointed it out, they had to stop talking.
.
Xiang Li Duoyun cupped his hands and said, "Liu Ziqiu, you are indeed a man of faith!"
Tuoba Yuanju also clasped his fists and said with a smile: "So your name is Liu Ziqiu. It's a pleasure to meet you. It seems that we are really destined. Haha, haha..."
The hand-over ceremony is not a Qiang etiquette, but Xiang Liduoyun and Tuoba Yuanju did it at the same time, obviously out of respect for Liu Ziqiu, but that's it, they had more important things to do.
Xiangli Duoyun pulled his sister, pointed at Tuoba Yuanju and said: "Qingtian, come and see the second prince."
Before Xiang Li Qingtian had time to salute, Tuoba Yuanju was already smiling: "Sister Qingtian, I haven't seen you for a few years and you have grown so tall, and you are getting more and more beautiful."
Tuoba Qianyu smiled sweetly and said: "Sister Qingtian, you don't know yet. In a few days, I will change my name to you sister-in-law."
Xiang Li Qingtian was shocked and said, "No! I have a sweetheart."
Tuoba Yuanju clenched his fists tightly, veins popped out on his forehead, and said angrily: "Who is it! I want to fight him!"
The alliance of eight Dangxiang ministries held by Tuoba Mumi was not successful. Although the title of Dangxiang King was recognized by Yang Guang, it did not mean that it could be recognized by the other seven ministries. Unless others said it, Xifeng Yelilan did not come at all.
, not even an envoy was sent. The strength of the Fine Feng Tribe is not comparable to that of the Tuoba Tribe, so how could they be willing to succumb to others? In fact, even the Fangdangs are quite superior to these two tribes who have always been on good terms with Tuoba Tribe.
The attitude in the alliance was also very ambiguous.
Without the support of the other seven tribes, Tuoba Mumi's party king will always have an empty title. Tuoba Mumi knows that haste makes waste, and he has decided that in this alliance,
No matter what, we must win over the support of at least one group. Among the seven groups, Tuoba Muya is the only one who has his eye on the powerful group.
The Goli tribe is the weakest among the eight tribes. Not only does it have to endure the oppression of the Xianbei people, but it is also often ostracized within the party. After all, their living environment is too harsh, and they will fight to the death for even a small amount of space.
Since the Goli tribe is the weakest, it is the easiest to be won over, and the conditions offered by Tuoba Mumi are generous enough, which is to let Tuoba Yuanju marry Goli Qingtian, and the two tribes will become married.
Although Tuoba Yuanju is only the second prince, the eldest prince is frail and sick, and he doesn't know when he will not be able to hold on any longer. Therefore, Tuoba Yuanju has become the de facto successor, and Tuoba Mumi has been pushing him in this direction.
Cultivate. If Xiang Li Qingtian marries Tuoba Yuanju, she will be the future Queen of Dangxiang.
It is true that Qingli Qingtian is beautiful, but with Tuoba Yuanju's status, it is not difficult to choose a few more beautiful Qiang women. But the importance of this marriage lies in that it affects whether the Qiang tribe can succeed.
Firmly support the Tuoba Tribe. Once you have the support of the Guili Tribunal and have always been on good terms with the Tuoba Tribe, the Pochao Second Tribunal will most likely no longer waver, and it will be just around the corner to win over the other Tribunals.
The importance of this marriage made Tuoba Yuanju not hesitate to fight. It didn't matter whether he had a sweetheart in Li Qingtian or not. The Qiang people, like many other grassland tribes, still have the popular custom of kidnapping marriages. The outcome of a kidnapping marriage is for the loser.
For example, the consequences are not only the loss of the beautiful bride, but also absolutely fatal. Now, Tuoba Yuanju has come up with the idea of robbing the bride.
Liu Ziqiu didn't know what they were talking about. Because during this conversation, Tuoba Yuanju and Xiangli Duoyun spoke Qiang, while Tuoba Qianyu and Xiangli Qingtian spoke Chinese. They were obviously talking to Liu Ziqiu, which made it even more complicated.
Liu Ziqiu was a little confused.
Just when Liu Ziqiu was full of doubts, he saw Li Qingtian pointing his little hand this way and said calmly: "He is right there, do you dare to fight him!"
