Even though he knew that Crescent Moon could not recognize him, he could not help but lower his head and hold his breath, not daring to breathe too loudly.
The Great Khan nodded softly. Its gaze swept past everyone without pausing at all. She smiled and waved at her people. The Turks cheered and bowed in worship, their behavior bordering on madness.
Being so close, Lin Wanrong could even feel Crescent Moon's calm and natural heartbeat, like a lake in the depths of the plains, unruffled.
So close, yet worlds apart! The feeling was indescribable.
It was only when the Great Khan's figure gradually disappeared into the crowd that he breathed a long sigh of relief. Gao Qiu shook his head in confusion. "Strange, did Crescent Moon really forget about us? That's strange! "
"What's strange? Isn't it good to forget? "Lin Wanrong smiled." Or are you going to ask her to bring troops to capture us?! "
Yu Jia led the Little Khan forward slowly, stopping for a moment whenever they encountered a tribe to speak with them. Although the Sheep-Picking Gathering had stopped, the enthusiastic atmosphere only increased. Tu Suozo followed behind the two dutifully, guarding them along the way.
It was only when Yu Jia led the Little Khan up the long canopy that the excited atmosphere on the plains calmed down. The Turks whispered excitedly, the focus of their discussion was none other than the amiable Khans. With the support of the people, Yu Jia almost effortlessly resolved the Right Prince's attempt to force the Khan to abdicate.
Looking at the Turk people who were excited to be received by the Khan, it was evident how important Yu Jia and his brother were in the hearts of the Turks. After repeated setbacks, Tu Suozo's expression was rather ugly.
He was silent for a long time, before he finally stepped out and stepped into the center of the plains. With one hand on his chest, he said loudly, "Reporting to the Great Khan, can the Sheep-Picking Gathering continue?!"
His voice was as loud as a bell. It reached the ears of everyone on the plains. The Turks held their breaths and listened to the Khan.
Hu Bugui chuckled and lowered his voice. "Tu Suozo was tricked by Yu Jia. Now he's honest and won't force her to participate in the marriage selection. "
"Not necessarily!" Lin Wanrong shook her head in a deep voice. "For people like Tusozzo, when he barks, Instead, it was safe. When he really fell silent, it meant that danger was approaching. I don't think Yu Jia didn't notice. "
Silence reigned behind the golden gauze curtain. After some time, just as everyone was getting impatient, Little Khan's crisp and young voice was suddenly heard. "Please wait, Right Prince."
Wait a moment? Wait for what? Tusozo was not the only one who was puzzled. This was also what everyone was confused about.
Beneath the canopy, countless well-dressed Turkic girls suddenly rushed out. They worked together to lift a huge red carpet. Slowly moving forward, the carpet was covered with golden satin. No one knew what was hidden underneath.
Lin Wanrong was puzzled. But the Turkic girls had already stopped.
"Woo —" A short horn sounded. The middle of the yellow satin suddenly protruded slightly. Then, a "dong" sound was heard. The trembling of the sheepskin drum was like a spring thunder that struck everyone's heart. In the middle of the grassland, a huge wooden platform slowly rose up. It was right in the middle of the platform. An exquisite and luxurious scimitar was placed on it. Under the sunlight, it shone with a dazzling golden radiance.
"It's Yujia's golden saber!" Gao Qiu was shocked.
Before he finished speaking, the middle of the yellow satin was slowly pulled open. The first to be revealed. It was a jade-like arm that was raised high up. The slender fingers were either placed together or standing up, constantly changing. Like a proud peacock dancing in the sky, the golden fingernails glinting under the sunlight.
The drums suddenly sounded, and the yellow satin was pulled open. The ground was covered in red and gold. A woman leaped up, her alluring body drawing a beautiful "da" character in the air, as if she was Chang 'e flying in the sky. That beautiful figure was soft and graceful. As she leaped and moved, she sometimes turned into a proud peacock, and sometimes into a blooming kapok, fully displaying the charm and passion of the grassland girls. Countless Turkic girls surrounded her and danced, singing loudly. Their sonorous love songs instantly spread across the grassland.
Everyone was dumbfounded. Be it the Turks or the Chinese. Old Gao's saliva dripped to the ground.
This was the first time he had seen Yujia dance, and it was on such an occasion. The heavens really knew how to play a joke! Lin Wanrong shook his head speechlessly.
Amidst the thunderous beating of the drums, Yueya 'er suddenly stopped her beautiful figure. Her beautiful eyes flashed with a cold light. She gripped the golden saber on the wooden platform and exerted some strength. The huge platform slowly rose, and the golden scimitar instantly became the focus of the entire crowd.
"Huuu —" The Turks seemed to have awoken from a dream and burst into thunderous cheers. They waved their sabers high up, their faces flushed with excitement. Even the silent Right Prince was joyfully cheering, and the hostility on his face had long been swept away.
The Turkic Great Khan was going to pick a husband!
The golden saber hanging high up in the center of the grassland was proof of everything.
Lin Wanrong gave a long sigh, but his heart was filled with boundless praise. This was a truly intelligent and intelligent girl. Her performance in front of the Turks today could be said to have vividly displayed her ability to play both sides.
Unyielding and disdainful in front of the Right Prince, noble and gentle in front of the people. No Turkic who saw this scene would ever forget her. The so-called Right Prince and Left Prince had both been outshone at this moment.
Most surprising of all was that she had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. At the end, she had hung a golden saber high up in the air to pick a husband.
Even Tusozo, who had suffered a heavy blow, had not expected this move. It was clear that the Turkic Great Khan was well aware of the situation around him. At a time when he could not offend Tusozo, she had used a stick and a carrot. Not only had she won an enormous reputation in the eyes of her people, she had also instantly dispelled the resentment of the Right Prince.
After a long silence, Old Hu cautiously glanced at General Lin and whispered, "Even the golden saber has been brought out. Yujia is going to pick a husband!!!"
Old Gao shook his head in disappointment. "What's wrong with Yujia? He still couldn't stand up to Tusozo's intimidation! This time, that Turkic pretty boy has benefited. "
Lin Wanrong patted Old Gao on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Although I don't know what Yujia is up to. But I'm sure that Tusozo will not easily succeed. In terms of intelligence, he and Yue Ya 'er are worlds apart. "
Gao Qiu said seriously, "Actually, I've always felt that. Yueya and Brother Lin are the best match. Not only their status and intelligence, even their acting skills and manner of speaking — look, look, the way you stare at me is exactly the same as how Yujia stares at you! Why don't Brother Lin consider my suggestion. Use your charm to sow the seeds and peacefully unify the steppe! “
Go to hell. Yueya looking at me and I looking at you, how can that be the same kind of look? This guy was always thinking about that despicable idea. Lin Wanrong smiled and could not help shaking his head.
Hu Bugui sighed deeply. "Old Gao's methods may be a little dirty, but, General. Forgive me for speaking bluntly. In these two days. I've never seen you smile like this! “
"Really?!" Lin Wanrong's eyes widened. He nodded. "That might be because I smiled too much in the past few days. My face is cramping, I'll be fine after two days. "
Old Gao secretly spat. Even if the Great Wall falls, your face will not cramp!
On the other side, Tusozo was overjoyed when he saw that Yujia had taken out the golden knife and was clearly going to participate in the marriage selection. He hurriedly knelt down on one knee and took out the silver knife, holding it above his head and presenting it to the Great Khan.
This was the custom of the Turks. Presenting the silver knife meant that the Silver Knife Right Prince was participating in the marriage selection for the Golden Knife Great Khan. Even if the other girls had their eyes on the Right Prince, they had to make a detour. It expressed Tusozo's loyalty.
Yujia smiled and nodded, indicating that he accepted the Right Prince as his suitor. There were already Turkic girls who accepted Tusozo's silver knife. Although the Right Prince's status was high, he was still far behind the Golden Knife.
The silver knife was placed on the wooden table next to him.
With Tusozo's example, several other brave tribes also swarmed over to express their admiration for the Great Khan and vowed to become her suitors. The Great Khan accepted them one by one.
The Right Prince was very confident in his own strength, so he looked up and smiled without saying a word.
Old Gao widened his eyes. "As expected of a fair lady, a gentleman's match, not to mention such a beautiful female Khan. Old Hu, should we also express our sincerity?! "
"There's no need for that." Hu Bugui glanced at Lin Wanrong and said with a smile, "If we show our sincerity, it means that other than the Golden Knife Great Khan, no other tribes can ally with them by marriage. However, they still have to compete with us. Besides, the Great Khan might not like the warriors of these big tribes. Who knows, they might win first place this time. They're just a small tribe. "
Lin Wanrong said in a low voice, "Brother Hu, Brother Gao. Remember my words, the goal is to enter the city, not to win first place!! The higher the ranking, the more people will have their eyes on us, and the higher the possibility of being exposed. We only need to win three matches and qualify to enter the city. We won't fight one more match! "
"Okay!" Both of them answered at the same time.
As they spoke, Tusozo had already retreated to change his clothes. The Turks masked their faces to hunt sheep for the sake of fairness. The Right Prince covered his face and looked no different from an ordinary person, so no one knew where he was hiding.
This time, it was Lin Wanrong who was worried. There were masks all over the ground, so who would know where Tusozo was? Who knew when he would appear? Only when he was on the sheep hunting battlefield could he be recognized. However, by the time he was recognized, it might be too late. This was a mixed battle and elimination match. If they lost one match, all their efforts would be wasted.
After thinking for a long time, he suddenly gritted his teeth. "Brother Hu, go and draw lots. We'll fight again, immediately, immediately!"
Old Hu was shocked. "General, why don't you wait until after Tusozo appears? We can avoid him that way! "
Lin Wanrong shook his head solemnly and pointed at the thousands of masked warriors on the field. "Brother Hu, I can say with certainty that everyone here has the same idea as you. Everyone is waiting for Tusozo to appear so that they can avoid him. What do you think will happen then? "
Hu Buhui thought for a moment and suddenly realized something. Everyone wanted to avoid the Right King. At that time, it would be like hundreds of tribes squeezing onto a single log bridge. They would not stop until everyone was in a mess and the bayonets were red. That would be the most dangerous.
"Tusozo is not a reckless person. He started fighting at the age of thirteen and has fought countless battles. When the Great Khan of the Turks is participating in the sheep hunting competition and everyone is excited, I think he will not rush into battle. At the very least, he will observe the match. Therefore, striking first is the least risky. Brother Hu, go quickly! "
At such a crucial moment, there must not be any hesitation. Old Hu flew away and returned with a lot in a moment. This time, it was not the duck group. The name was very nice, it was Eliza.
Eliza? Wasn't that a rose? Lin Wanrong found it funny and suddenly remembered what Yueya 'er had said that night. This was the season for the Eliza of the grasslands to bloom. As the Great Khan, it should be easy for her to gather ten thousand roses and obtain happiness.
Standing at the starting line, Wang Chong pulled down his visor and inadvertently glanced over. At the Turkic Khagan's side was a massive cluster of dazzling red Elizas, incomparably beautiful.
He froze for a second, but when he saw the person standing next to Yu Jia, he couldn't help but laugh. Even with a mask, he could still tell at a glance that it was the Turkic Right Prince, Tusozo. I was wondering why I couldn't find him. It turns out that he went to offer flowers to Yujia. Now I can rest easy.
"The sheep hunting competition continues. Little Khan, please cut the rope." The Turkic priest's voice came from afar.
Sarmu stood up and was about to walk to the high platform when Yueya 'er pushed away the Right Prince's flowers and pulled Sarmu back, whispering a few words into his ear.
The Little Khan hurriedly stopped and nodded. He took a golden bow. The bow was not big and almost covered his entire body.
Following his sister's instructions, the golden arrow was hung on the string. Sarmu may be young, but he had great strength. He pulled the string to its fullest and with a swoosh, the golden arrow flew through the air with a sharp whistle.
"Squeak." It hit the center of the rope and the dripping sheep body fell instantly.
The Hu on the mountain were at first dazed, and then they began to cheer to the heavens. The cheers were so great that even the Heavenly Court was about to be flipped upside down.
Yujia, oh Yujia, who can be smarter than you?!
He did not even have the time to sigh. The horse beneath him charged forward like an arrow!
