Compared with Huyeshibili, Salanna is much smarter. She did not take Li Chengzhong's words, but asked another question to clarify the key point: "What if even your decision-making is wrong? To
What should I do then?”
Li Chengzhong tilted his head and thought for a while, looked into the distance, and said slowly: "I believe in myself, and I believe in my own vision even more. Since I led the twenty-three people to raise troops, there may have been some mistakes in small links, but in the general direction
but never made a mistake."
Huye Sibili couldn't help it anymore. He forgot Salanna's instructions to him and said angrily: "You just believe in yourself so much? Are you too conceited? Why?"
"Just because I can see further than everyone else" In this era, if there is anyone in the world who is qualified to say this, it must be Li Chengzhong. However, it is undeniable that this sentence is indeed a bit unreasonable.
This unreasonable sentence came out of Li Chengzhong's mouth, but he seemed so confident that he immediately choked up and was speechless on the spot.
Although these words were unreasonable, when Salanna heard them, her eyes lit up, and her eyes suddenly changed when she looked at Li Chengzhong. The words conveyed a sense of extreme self-confidence to the point of arrogance.
, and the courage to bear all the burdens contained in it, made Salanna, who had been burdened with tribal pressure and was a little breathless under this pressure, suddenly want to take it off and hand it over.
The feelings entrusted to the other person.
As the royal princess who is truly in charge of the fate of the Kumoxi family, Salanna resisted the strong urge to agree on the spot. She still needed to discuss it with Huyeshibili. After all, Kumoxi and Xi Khitan are now
Fighting side by side, many things require advancing and retreating together.
That night, Li Chengzhong served wine in the camp to entertain Salanna and Huyeshibili. The banquet in the wilderness outside the pass was more like an open-air bonfire party. The host and guests sitting around the bonfire greeted each other and cut out the leaves from the fire.
mutton, took out the flour cake, chewed it with big mouthfuls, and drank from the big bowl. Although Wu Yunsu couldn't come in when Li Chengzhong was training, how could she miss this kind of banquet. She brought deer, rabbits and other prey that she had brought,
Then they chatted non-stop around Salanna, asking about the experience of fighting the Khitan people, and asking for advice on spear and archery skills. Not long after, he and a few female companions went to an unknown place with wine bags in their hands.
It’s a game.
Without Li Chengzhong's instructions, the astute Li Naimo had already arranged for a group of military generals to surround Huyesubili, and soon he had him knocked down. Huyesubili kept shouting "One more time."
Bowl", but couldn't even sit still. He was immediately pulled aside by the generals, creating an opportunity for Governor Li to spend time with Salanna alone.
The bonfire reflected Salanna's face flushed. Salanna looked at Wu Yunsu who was leaving happily with several female companions, and couldn't help but drink a few more bowls. She said sourly to Li Chengzhong: "Wushi girls are beautiful."
"Um."
"I heard that Lady Wanzhi is also very beautiful."
"Well..." Li Chengzhong was very embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.
Li Chengzhong's vague answer was both expected by Salanna, but not within her acceptance. After a long silence, she drank up the milk wine in the bowl. The pride of a prairie daughter suddenly emerged. She raised her head and stared at Li Chengzhong, directly
Question: "The governor thinks they are more beautiful, or Salana?"
Li Chengzhong was speechless. If he was a prodigal in love, he would definitely answer without hesitation: "Of course you are beautiful." Maybe he would also add some flattery words to make the other person happy, and then find a way to kiss her. But he
No, he was not willing to use the method of belittling his own woman to please other women. After a long time, he said: "They are all beautiful."
Salanna was disappointed. She grabbed a wine bag next to her and poured wine into her bowl. Her hands were shaking, and the milk wine spilled out. It splashed on the side of Li Chengzhong's legs. Li Chengzhong suddenly stretched out his hand to grab the arm that was pouring the wine. Salanna
Na struggled hard, but Li Chengzhong couldn't hold on.
Salanna struggled for a moment, but could not shake off Li Chengzhong's hand. Suddenly her eyes turned red. She let the other person grab her arm and choked: "Let go... I want to drink, I just want to drink... I spilled it on you.
Sorry..."
Li Chengzhong grabbed the wine bag, filled a bowl for himself, took a sip, and suddenly said: "I can't help you. I married two women..."
Salanna lowered his head and murmured: "Don't be sorry, it has nothing to do with me..." When he said this, there was a pain in his heart.
Li Chengzhong said: "You three are all beautiful. Wanzhi dances very well, and she is kind-hearted. When I was just a little girl, she was willing to go to the border with me. In Liucheng, she also
She worked hard to learn medical skills and helped me take care of the wounded soldiers. Yunsu was also very good. She advised me not to get too close to women and to put national affairs first. Although she was a rich girl, she didn't care if she didn't get any commitment from me.
As a result, she followed me. If I didn't marry her at that time, I really don't know what she would do next... And she is also very ambitious and wants to lead the army to fight. Of course, she may be a little childish, but I like this kind of ambition very much.
Ambitious girls. They are both very sensible and have their own ideas. You know, I don’t like Xing Biyu who hides in the boudoir all day long..."
Salana listened and raised her head, waiting for Li Chengzhong's next words.
"And you led the people to resist in order to prevent them from being slaves to the Khitans. This kind of magnanimity makes me admire you even more. Your beauty lies in your perseverance. There is a kind of power in your body. This kind of power makes me
Touched and surprised... To be honest, although I have only seen you twice, I often think of you. When I think of you carrying such a heavy burden, I can't help but want to help you. Saran
Na, even if you don’t join my Huaiyue Alliance, if you need it, just tell me and I will do everything in my power to protect you.”
Salanna listened intently. When Li Chengzhong finished speaking, he bit his lip and suddenly said: "If you are in danger, I will come to you. Even if I can't help much, I am willing to stand with you."
, share it together.”
The two looked at each other for a long time, and Li Chengzhong took a deep breath and said: "Sa Lanna, you know, I married two women, and they are both concubines..."
Salanna felt nervous and stared at Li Chengzhong, waiting expectantly.
"But even though we are concubines, in my heart, they are just like wives, there is no difference... Moreover, I don't want to have a main wife and concubines in my family..."
Sarana's heart sank.
"I know that you have a noble status. Your King Xi clan is different from other clans on the grassland, so I have no shame in proposing marriage."
Salanna looked at Li Chengzhong and shook her head desperately.
Li Chengzhong scratched his head and asked cautiously: "I don't know if you are willing to marry me. Well, I just said that there is no big or small family." When he said this, he felt guilty.
Salanna's tears immediately flowed out. She was crying and smiling at the same time. Suddenly she raised her fist and punched Li Chengzhong's leg. She took a breath and said, "You can try it."
Li Chengzhong was overjoyed. Looking at Salanna who was crying and laughing at the same time, he took out the square silk from his arms and handed it over: "Look at the trouble you made, your face is covered with snot and tears."
Salanna took the square silk, turned her back and carefully wiped her tears, and said angrily: "I blame you."
Just such a simple action made us feel closer to each other.
Looking at the dancing bonfire in front of her and the crowds of people running around and drinking with each other, Salanna said quietly: "My father is gone, and we have to wait until next year for the last inquiry."
The death of old King Kumoxi and the succession of the new king was a major event that shook the grassland. Li Chengzhong certainly knew that the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics was gradually getting on the right track, and it seemed that such a major event must be reported to Li Chengzhong. He clicked
He nodded and said: "Lao Wang is gone, don't be too sad, Xi Ren still needs to rely on you... Of course, you can also rely on me now..."
Salanna rolled her eyes at him: "Who wants to rely on you?"
Li Chengzhong laughed and said: "Next winter, when the last snow comes, I will marry you. Also, I will help you avenge Lao Wang."
Huye Sibili didn't know that one night when he was drunk by Li Suimo and others, the lover of his dreams who had been waiting for many years flew into the arms of someone else. When he woke up the next day,
Lanna had been waiting outside the tent where he lived for a long time.
"Sister Asa, don't blame me. I drank too much from them last night. I got up late and my head still hurts a little now." He apologized to Salanna while rubbing his headache.
Salanna was in a good mood at the moment and said to himself, "Well done." Instead of scolding him for being drunk as usual, he said, "I have agreed with Governor Li to join the Waiyang coalition. Kumoxi and Xi Khitan each got a Yu."
Waiting for a seat.”
Huye Sibili opened his mouth wide, and said for a long time: "There are three eight alliances, and our family only has one. This is not fair."
Salanna ignored him and continued: "Captain Li is still training troops now. He said he would wait a little longer. Another news for you is that Abaoji and Brother Hua are vying for power in the Die La tribe. This
That's why they have been quiet during this period. Yingzhou is planning to send a few 'observers' to our two departments this time for the purpose of liaison."
Huye Sibili suddenly realized: "So that's the case. No wonder they haven't taken any action in the past few months. Instead, they keep sending people to persuade them to surrender..." He then said anxiously: "Sister Asa, what did you mean by 'observer' just now?
What do you mean? Is Li planning to send someone to tell us what to do? There is also the Yu Hou department. There is really one seat missing, so we can’t agree easily..."
Salanna shook his head and said: "The observers are here to understand the situation. They will draw up a list of supplies for support based on the situation of our two units. Weapons and armor are all included in this support, and yes, food is also included.
If you don’t want to, forget it, Governor Li said, don’t force it. By the way, if you Western Khitans don’t want to join the Huaiyue and Yuhou Joint Headquarters, your seats will be for me, Kumo.”
