From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 484

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the wind stopped and the snow stopped.

The sun, which had not been seen for a long time, finally came out, and the scorching light illuminated the silvery white sky and earth, so that the whole world was bright.

Zhou Yuan walked out of the tent, narrowed his eyes slightly, couldn't help laughing, and said: "Virgin Mary sister, as expected, no matter how heavy the snow is, it will stop. It looks like this year is a good year."

Li Yu'an walked slowly behind him and whispered: "It seems that you are in a good mood, but the way you were drunk last night was really disgusting."

Zhou Yuan said seriously: "This can't be blamed on me. They drink too much. Besides, I have a good drinking habit. Even if I am drunk, I never act crazy."

Li Yu'an said: "They just thought I was Zhao Jianjia and took off my clothes."

Zhou Yuan touched the back of his head and said: "So I didn't get this bump, but you beat me."

Li Yu'an covered her mouth and smiled, saying: "Of course, I won't spoil you."

As soon as the voice fell, the sound of horse hooves came quickly.

Xingyao rode a maroon horse, came to the two of them, and drew the knife at her waist.

She seemed to be in a good mood. Facing the sun, she pointed her knife at Zhou Yuan and said, "How did you beat my horse last night? It is said that you are the military god of the Jin Dynasty. You defeated more than 300,000 people with 60,000 people. I want to learn your skills."

Zhou Yuan looked at the shining knife, stepped back a few steps, and said with a smile, "Miss Xingyao, it was not me who beat you last night, but the sister next to me. You should go to her for a fight."

Xingyao glanced at Li Yu'an and shook her head, "She is just a woman with no strength. What's the point of fighting with her? I don't believe she beat my horse."

"Aren't you the Marquis? Why don't you dare to fight me?"

Zhou Yuan said, "Why don't we change the battlefield? Change the way?"

"What way?"

Xingyao said proudly: "Just tell me how you want to fight. As long as it's fair, I dare to fight."

Li Yu'an said in a low voice: "Zhou Yuan, I advise you to speak honestly and don't offend anyone. If I really beat you, I'm embarrassed to protect you."

"Who are you looking down on? I can't beat her?"

Zhou Yuan waved his hand and said directly: "Come on! This Marquis will fight with you today."

"If I lose, I will give you this jade!"

Zhou Yuan took out a jade seal from his arms. It was only three fingers wide and as long as the palm of his hand. It was very small, but extremely delicate. It was emerald green and crystal clear. It was obviously a top-grade glass jadeite.

Just this thing is worth at least 100,000 taels of silver.

Li Yu'an couldn't help laughing. Isn't this bullying?

Sure enough, Xingyao was stunned, and touched her body for a long time, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "I don't have such a good thing to bet!"

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "Then there is no way to fight, you said, it must be fair."

He pulled the reins of Xingyao's horse, patted the horse's face, and said, "I still have to talk to your father about something, you go and do your own thing."

Xingyao didn't say anything, just looked at him in shock.

Zhou Yuan subconsciously let go of the reins and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Xingyao still didn't say anything, just rode away on the horse.

"It's inexplicable."

Zhou Yuan patted the dust on his body and said, "Let's go and eat."

The food on the grassland is also very simple. In the morning, they drink milk and eat big cakes. I don't know when this cake was made. Anyway, it is hard and unpalatable, and I can't bite it.

Li Yu'an rolled her eyes at him and whispered, "Fool, put it in milk and eat it."

"Ah? Such a strange custom?"

Zhou Yuan tore off a piece of cake and began to reach out to pull Li Yu'an's collar.

"Asshole!"

Li Yu'an slapped his hand away and said with a red face, "I told you to put it in goat's milk and eat it after it is softened. I didn't say to put it in mine..."

"Hahaha!"

Zhou Yuan laughed out loud and waved his hand, saying, "Don't be angry, it's just a joke."

After eating and drinking, the outside became lively, and the sound of horse hooves was very dense.

Then there was a noise and shouting, and finally someone outside was beating a drum and hitting the handle of a knife with a knife.

"What's going on?"

Zhou Yuan walked out and saw that there were people everywhere, more than a thousand of them.

Xingyao rode her horse and shouted: "People from the Central Plains, show us your skills! It's not that easy to conquer me, Yehenala Xingyao!"

Countless warriors around also roared.

Li Yu'an followed and whispered: "Lord Zhou, you seem to be in trouble."

"What are you doing!"

Buyanggu strode over and frowned: "Xingyao, what are you doing? Zhongwu Hou is our distinguished guest, you can't be rude!"

Xingyao gritted her teeth and said: "Father! He led my daughter's horse! And slapped the horse's face!"

Buyanggu turned around and looked atHe glared at Zhou Yuan and said, "Lord Zhongwu, I treat you as a friend, but you treat me as your father-in-law?"

"Ah?"

Zhou Yuan's expression was quite interesting. He took several steps back and shouted, "Buyanggu Beile, don't joke with me."

Buyanggu said, "Lord Zhongwu, it's not that I am not generous enough and can't bear to part with my daughter, but according to the rules of our Yehe tribe, you must first defeat Xingyao."

"But as far as I know, your kung fu seems to be very ordinary."

Nonsense, I can beat you even if it's very ordinary, but I can't do it on horseback.

Zhou Yuan quickly pulled him aside and said in a low voice: "Brother Buyanggu, I don't understand the rules of your Yehe tribe. I just pulled the reins casually. You can't take it too seriously for an outsider like me, right?"

Buyanggu smiled bitterly and said: "Master Zhou, every warrior in our Yehe tribe has his own warhorse, and women also have their own exclusive cattle and sheep."

"Generally speaking, there are many ways to court. The most common is to send flowers, but this method is often not the way of warriors."

"Warriors often send wolf teeth or wolf skins to show their bravery and express their strength, so wolves are often hunted by them personally."

Speaking of this, Buyanggu said: "There is also an extreme way, which is to directly lead the other party's cattle, sheep or warhorse, indicating direct conquest without room for negotiation."

"In this case, the woman can either agree to the courtship or directly accept the challenge. If she accepts the challenge, she can fight in person or find a favorite warrior to fight for her. "Bo Yang Gu sighed:" Zhongwu Hou, Xingyao is Ye He's best female warrior. She can win her. Anyway, I do n’t fight. To tell the truth, I really ca n’t beat her. ”“ Her one meter eight, that big machete, I ca n’t spin my head! " "" "At that time, they may not be willing to fight for you!" Zhou Yuan felt a headache and scratched his head hard, saying, "What if I go to the battle and win?"

Buyanggu said, "That means you have conquered Xingyao, she will be your woman, and you will be the most respected."

This is good, this is good! This rule is suitable for the strong!

Zhou Yuan said, "What if I lose?"

Buyanggu was a little embarrassed and said, "Xingyao has a strong temper. If you provoke her like this, she will definitely kill you."

This is not okay, this is not okay, you will lose your head.

"Zhongwu Hou, please make a decision. I was not joking when I said just now."

"If you want my Yehe tribe warriors to fight for you, you must first win their respect."

Zhou Yuan took off his hat and threw it on the ground, saying loudly, "Let's fight, come on, I am not afraid of a yellow-haired girl!"
