On this vast grassland, it was very common for nomadic tribes to fight against each other. Even though civilization had been cut off due to the cataclysm, it was difficult to change the ethnic nature of this land.
Large tribes set up royal courts, conferred the title of Left and Right Virtuous Kings, and then conferred some minor kings to complete their control over the grassland.
However, the grassland was so big that from time to time, a real hero would be born and overthrow the original fortress of power.
Hassan felt that he was witnessing all of this. When he heard the howling of the wolves, he was no longer afraid. Instead, he felt a little excited.
The power displayed by his master had surpassed the level of all the other lords on the grassland. That was the power of a god.
After the wolves were dispersed by Yan Liuyuan, the remaining horses and cows on the battlefield were dragged back to the tribe by Hassan and the others. The mutated horses were the main means of transportation on the grassland, while the cows were used to transport supplies.
When the wolves attacked this group of people, they even specifically did not hurt the horses and cows under Yan Liuyuan's instructions. This was like a miracle in Hassan's eyes.
After all, wolves had to eat meat. Who else could make a wolf give up its prey except for a god?
On the way back, Yan Liuyuan kept silent. It was not until they were about to reach the tribe that Sister Xiaoyu suddenly said, "I shouldn't have refuted your orders in front of others."
Sister Xiaoyu looked a little sad. She had followed Yan Liuyuan to the grassland and knew very well what Yan Liuyuan wanted to do. Unifying the grassland was just the first step.
She could not stop Yan Liuyuan from doing this, nor did she have any intention to stop him, nor did she have any reason to stop him.
She simply watched all this silently behind Yan Liuyuan.
Sister Xiaoyu knew very well that the young man beside her might not be her younger brother Liuyuan anymore, but the chief of a tribe. In the future, he would be the chief of many tribes, and eventually set up his own royal court to control the entire grassland.
Therefore, she might not be able to casually say anything to Yan Liuyuan like she used to.
It was just that... she did not want to see this innocent young man fall into the abyss.
However, after she finished speaking, Yan Liuyuan suddenly smiled and said, "Sister Xiaoyu, it's all thanks to you."
A strong gust of wind blew again, causing Yan Liuyuan and his Sister Xiaoyu's robes to flutter. In the wind, Yan Liuyuan continued, "Actually, sometimes, I really wish that my brother was still here. If it were him, it would be easier for him to unify the plains. But I know he doesn't have such thoughts. He has never been an ambitious person. He just wants to protect the people around him. "
Sister Xiaoyu listened quietly.
"Whether my brother admits it or not, he's always a good person in my heart. Actually, Sister Xiaoyu, you were right to stop me today. I was just thinking that if my brother was still alive, he would definitely hate this tyrannical me." Yan Liuyuan sighed.
"He won't." Sister Xiaoyu shook her head and said softly, "You're the most important person to Xiaosu. Even if you fall into the abyss, he will pull you out."
"Mmm."
Sister Xiaoyu was very important to Yan Liuyuan. Only when Sister Xiaoyu was by his side could he continue to stay sober.
That day, Yan Liuyuan stood on a grassy hill and looked south from dusk to night, and from night to dawn.
Hassan came out of the tent several times and looked at his master's back from afar. He always felt that his master was a little lonely.
In the morning, when Yan Liuyuan returned to the tent, he was surprised to see a young girl kneeling in his tent.
Yan Liuyuan wondered, "Are you Hassan's daughter?"
The girl said timidly, "Dad asked me to serve you."
Yan Liuyuan smiled helplessly. "Go out. I have hands and feet, so I don't need anyone to serve me. By the way, what's your name?"
"Tsetseg." The little girl replied timidly, "It means flower."
"How old are you?" Yan Liuyuan asked again.
"Thirteen years old. I'll be fourteen in three months," Tsetseg replied.
Yan Liuyuan nodded. "Okay, I'll remember it. Now go and find your mother."
But just as Yan Liuyuan was about to lie down and rest, Tsetseg ran out and brought in a basin of hot water and a piece of coarse cotton cloth.
She soaked the coarse cotton cloth in hot water and wanted to wipe Yan Liuyuan's face. Yan Liuyuan asked curiously, "Aren't you afraid of me?"
"Dad said that you're the guardian god of the tribe, so there's no need to be afraid," Tsetseg said.
Yan Liuyuan was stunned for a moment, not because Hassan said he was a god, but because of the word "guardian."
He softened his tone. "I'm not a god, just an ordinary person, just like you."
"But you can command the wolves and the eagles in the sky." Tsetseg said, "And the girls in the tribe … all say that you're very good-looking …"
Tsetseg's voice became softer and softer as she said the second half of her sentence.
Yan Liuyuan was indeed different from the men here. He did not have the rough skin that had been exposed to ultraviolet rays for a long time, and his appearance was more "exquisite."
So many girls in the tribe said that only a god could look so good.
Sister Xiaoyu had also told Yan Liuyuan about this. Yan Liuyuan wondered how long it had been since these people from the steppe had seen someone from the Central Plains …
When Tsetseg saw that Yan Liuyuan did not speak for a long time, she got a little anxious. "I can comb your hair, wash your clothes, and cook for you. Dad asked me to live in your tent from now on. He said … he said that I'm yours from now on. If you kick me out, I'll be very embarrassed."
Yan Liuyuan was stunned for a long time. What kind of custom was this?!
He could not help but laugh. "Then you can comb my hair, but you don't have to stay in my tent every day. Bring some hot water over in the morning, and then go back to your mother's side."
"Don't you have to come over at night …" Tsetseg asked in a low voice. To be honest, she was not ready.
"You don't have to come over," Yan Liuyuan said with a smile.
At this moment, Tsetseg sat behind Yan Liuyuan and wiped his hair with a hot, wet towel. She was careful and meticulous.
After a moment of silence, she could not help but speak again. "You're not as dangerous as you think. Yesterday, they all said that you commanded the wolves to kill a lot of people, more enemies than our tribe. But Sister Xiaoyu said that you're a very good person and told us not to be afraid of you. "
Before this, Tsetseg had lied. When Hassan asked her to come to Yan Liuyuan's tent, she was indeed a little afraid.
But now, she was really not afraid anymore.
Yan Liuyuan did not respond to Tsetseg, but Tsetseg continued to chatter. "If I only have to come over every morning to comb your hair, then I can still go gather with the others during the day."
Yan Liuyuan asked in puzzlement, "Gather?"
"I just have to go out and gather some edible mushrooms," Tsetseg explained. "Otherwise, I can only drink milk or starve. Dad said that many cows and sheep died in the snowstorm, so we can't eat them anymore. We have to wait until they give birth next year."
