The golden tent is not made of gold.

The shape of the so-called golden tent is no different from other tents on the prairie, except that it is much bigger. However, the surrounding area of ​​his roof is sewn with golden cloth. On the prairie, it can be regarded as a luxurious atmosphere. , the top of the golden tent with a huge capacity is a pole inserted into the sky. A felt flag is hung on the pole. On the flag is a picture of an eagle about to fly, with an iron beak and a golden hook, fierce and domineering, It is so lifelike that it seems to fly out of the flag.

Around the golden tent, there are mostly tents where tribal princes live, and most of them are luxurious and luxurious. Whenever and wherever, as long as there are people, there will be honor and inferiority. Where there are honor and inferiority, there will be material differences. .Of course, the Beihu Grassland cannot escape this law. Compared with the residences of ordinary herdsmen, the tents here are large and gorgeous, and the warriors guarding them are strong and alert.

Beihu is divided into more than 30 tribes, each tribe has a patriarch, who is the highest leader of the tribe, but each tribe has many surnames, just like the Balhut tribe, the main one is Murba Picture, Qilian Heshe, Jinba Mangwute, Mudu, Qifanchalitai, the five major surnames in the sea, and the leader of each surname is the prince on the grassland.

The throne of the grassland is handed down from generation to generation, the master line will always be the master, and the slave will always be the slave.

Beihu elects the four major commanders every five years. The candidates are selected from various tribes. There may be only one way to change from a slave to an aristocrat.

The selection of the four major commanders is first selected through force within each tribe, just like the Balhout Ministry, each of the five major surnames sends the most powerful warriors to fight internally, regardless of high or low. After the battle between the warriors, the most powerful warriors were selected to go to the royal court to participate in the competition. More than 30 tribes also selected more than 30 strongest warriors to compete for the three commanders, because the position of Baotu commander has been directly from the Ke There is no need for re-competition for internal elections.

Once you become a Marshal, there is no doubt that no matter what your origin is, you will enter the ranks of nobles.

There are five princes in the current Balhut tribe, and Hubahai, the patriarch, belongs to the Qilian Heshe family. As for one of the current four generals, the Yingtu commander, he is from the Murbatu family.

Xue Poye followed the samurai on the green grass and came to this tent camp that he had never been in contact with. Looking at the golden tent in front of him, he was still a little nervous, but this kind of nervousness was surprisingly expressed on his face. calm.

In addition to nervousness, there may be some expectations.

Yingtushuai, quelling the turmoil of Leopard Tushuai, carrying out reforms, an ambitious prairie man, a rare unrivaled hero in the Beihu grassland!

No matter who it is, they want to see what is different about such a man.

Approaching the golden tent, a long blanket is spread on the floor, leading directly to the tent door of the golden tent. On both sides of this luxurious road, there are iron lamp stands, and the two columns add up to more than 20 lamp stands. A raging fire was burning, illuminating this road as bright as day.

As soon as he got to the tent door, he heard a warrior guarding the door shout loudly in Hu language, and another Balhout warrior opened the gorgeous tent door.

The inside of the tent was radiant, as bright as day, bursts of aroma of wine, meat, and milk came out of the tent, and even heard the melodious sound of the Matouqin. What Xue Poye saw at a glance was in the center of the tent, the exquisite Persian On the carpet, five or six beautiful and plump orchids were dancing lightly in not many sexy clothes.

"Good friend!" Wu Lachi's resounding voice had already sounded, and Xue Poye saw a tall figure crossing the carpet, and greeted him: "Are you sober? Can you still drink?"

Xue Poye smiled wryly and said, "Brother Wu, I... I don't know the autumn when I'm drunk."

Wu Lachi laughed loudly, took Xue Poye's hand, walked into the tent, and said: "Good friend, I'm here to make you more friends, they are all Wu Lachi's friends, that is, your friends .”

Xue Poye quickly glanced at the guests sitting around in the tent, most of them were Beihu people wearing fur clothes, which were much more gorgeous than ordinary Beihu people's clothes.And most of them are wearing gemstones and pearls, presumably they are the princes of Beihu, and the patriarch Hu Bahai is also on the list, looking at him with a smile.

In addition, Sumayou and Xiangzi sat on the left and right of Hubahai, but what shocked Xue Poye the most was that the mysterious masked businessman was also present, sitting on the west side, calmly Watching orchids dance.

But Xue Poye's eyes are extremely sharp, but the eyes of the masked businessman pass through two eye holes, sweeping across his body coldly, and the eyes of the two even meet, seeing the cold With eyes, Xue Poye is even more sure that this person must be an old acquaintance.

Su Mayou was very surprised to see Wu Lachi being so enthusiastic about Xue Poye, she didn't know the reason, and if she knew that this "Brother Ugly Stone" was Xue Poye, she didn't know how she would feel.

"Little Shitou, come here!" Xiang Zizi waved with a smile.

Little Shitou blushed, looked left and right, and said in his heart: "Xiang Yezi really doesn't pay attention to the occasion, how can... hey...!" Seeing Xiang Yezi's smiling face like a flower, he couldn't bear to refuse, so he could only be cheeky. Walked over and sat down beside the desk beside Xiang Yezi.

The table around the tent is full of wine, meat and fresh milk. The wine is fragrant, the milk is fragrant and the meat is fragrant. Coupled with the meat smell from the orchids, the whole tent is full of lust.

But for the Hu people who are bold in nature, this is their real luxury life.

"This is Hubahailing, the patriarch of our Balhout tribe!"

"This is Prince Tullite of the Jinba Mangwut clan...!"

"This is Lord Fengska Dedan of the Mudu Clan, the most important in the sea...!"

"This is the prince of the ancient capital of Mu'er in Qifanchalitai...!"

……

Wu Lachi led Xue Poye to introduce the people present one by one, and every prince who was introduced got up very respectfully and gave a very humble salute, which made Xue Poye feel more and more strange Look, these people are so respectful to themselves, not because of themselves, but because of Wu Rachi's face, but why do the majestic Beihu princes treat Wu Rachi so humbly?

Xue Poye thought of an almost impossible possibility!

Xue Poye's palms couldn't help sweating. He looked at Wu Lachi beside him. He was tall and mighty, like a god of war descending from the earth, and his awe-inspiring power was shocking. Today's Wu Lachi was dressed in wolf fur, revealing his strong and dark arms. , that resolute and sharp-edged face has an aura of calmness and prestige.

"Good friend!" Wu Lachi finally led Xue Poye to the case of the masked businessman, and said loudly, "This is Mr. Ghost!"

The masked businessman, Mr. Ghost, stood up slowly, saluted lightly, but did not speak, but the eyes under the mask shot directly at Xue Poye's face, as if he wanted to see through Xue Poye, but Xue Poye was not afraid, His eyes were also fixed on the mask of Mr. Ghost, the masked businessman, trying to see clues from it.

"Mr. Ghost?" Xue Poye cupped his hands, his voice hoarse: "Have I seen it?"

Mr. Ghost's body shook, but he still didn't speak, maybe he was afraid that his voice would be heard by Xue Poye, so he just let out a strange laugh and sat down calmly.

Wu Lachi laughed, took Xue Poye's hand, walked to the big table in the middle and sat down, and said loudly: "Everyone, we have a few guests today, that is the glory of our Balhu Special Department, and it is also Glory of the Grassland, come, let's have a toast!" Holding up a cup like Beihu's, he drank it in one gulp.

Xue Poye secretly sighed in his heart: "Brother Wu's drinking capacity is really strong. He drank so much in the afternoon and was so drunk that he was unconscious. He recovered so quickly and can still drink. I have to take it."

Seeing that everyone drank up their glasses, even Xiao Shitou took a big sip in a dignified manner. In desperation, he had no choice but to drink up the wine in his glass.

"Good friend, when Wu Rachi went to Hangzhou, you took care of him and forged a brotherly relationship. Wu Rachi will never forget this friendship in his life." Wu Rachi said with emotion.

Xue Poye was startled when he heard the words, isn't this a reminder to Su Mayou?What he is most afraid of now is that Su Mayou will know his true identity. In that case, the hatred for stroking Su Mayou's big snow-white buttocks at that time will be reported face to face.

Looking at Su Mayo anxiously, he saw that Su Mayo frowned and looked at him with doubts on his face. A countermeasure to expose on the spot.

"Handsome Yingtu, do you know Big Brother Choushi?" Su Mayou said shockingly.

As soon as the word "Yingtushuai" entered Xue Poye's ears, every pore in Xue Poye's body swelled up, and his eyes looked at Su Mayo like lightning, wanting to confirm whether Su Mayo was talking to Su Mayo. who speaks.

Sumayou's eyes were fixed on Urachi!

Xue Poye thought about many possibilities. When he was in Hangzhou, Wu Lachi blurted out that "Khan also likes your poems and books from the Central Plains." preferences.

Wu Lachi gifted hundreds of horses, Xue Poye was overjoyed, but also thought about it, knowing that Wu Lachi must have a very special status on the grassland, otherwise he would not have the ability to sell hundreds of top-quality horses Huma, ordinary Beihu people must not have such skills.

But he never thought of Wu Rachi as "handsome eagle".

The look in Sumayou's eyes has already convinced him that Wulachi is the great hero who gallops across the grassland, the eagle of the grassland soaring in the sky of the grassland—Yingtushuai!

Xue Poye only felt that his whole body was icy cold.

Could it be that the handsome Yingtu that he wanted to assassinate was this Wu Lachi who had a sincere friendship with him?He was stunned for a moment, his eyes dull, and he just stared blankly at Wu Lachi beside him.

Wu Lachi laughed and said: "Yes, Aunt Sumayou, this good friend of mine is Xue Poye, my best friend in the Central Plains. As for the name Choushi, I think my good friend doesn't want it. Swagger, haha..., Aunt Sumayou, I remember I often told you about him!"

Not only did Su Mayou's expression change drastically, even Mr. Gui's body shook, his eyes looked at Xue Poye, and the chill in his pupils became more intense.

The princes obviously focused all their attention on the seductive orchids, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong with the atmosphere. Patriarch Hubahai stroked the white beard under his chin, his expression was calm, and he still had a kind smile on his face.

Su Mayou finally couldn't bear it and stood up abruptly, pointing at Xue Poye and said, "You... are you really...really Xue Poye?"

Xue Poye saw that the situation was like this, and there was no possibility of concealing it at all. If he had known that Wu Lachi was the famous Yingtu commander in the world, he should have concealed it from Wu Lachi, and said with a wry smile: "Su Mayo, I am Xue Poye!" At this time, he no longer choked his voice and resumed his usual crisp voice.

When Su Mayou heard Xue Poye's voice, his face turned red, angry, and even more ashamed. With a "choke", he pulled out the saber from his waist, pointed the blade at Xue Poye, and gritted his teeth: "You...you ...!" With complicated emotions, I really don't know what to say.

Everyone present didn't understand why, even Urachi wondered, "Aunt Sumayou, why is this so?"

Su Mayou bit her lip, stomped her feet, and threw the machete on the ground, and rushed out of the golden tent like the wind. Except for Xue Poye, no one understood the reason.

"Good friend, what happened?" Wu Rachi asked in confusion, and immediately frowned: "Aunt Sumayou is really rude, patriarch, you have to talk about her carefully later."

Although Kubahai is the patriarch, he is very respectful to Wu Lachi, nodded and said: "Yes!"

Wu Lachi patted Xue Poye on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Good friend, don't spoil the fun, come here, look at these women, they are all the most beautiful women among us Hu people, and their dancing is not worse than yours in the Central Plains, haha Haha...!" Leaning close to Xue Poye's ear, he said in a low voice: "If there is someone you like, tell Wu Rachi, and Wu Rachi will arrange it for you."

Wu Lachi is lustful, Xue Poye knows this, when Hua Dielian was successfully refined, Wu Lachi took Hua Dielian to the kiln, so Xue Poye didn't find it strange that he said this.

He felt that his body was getting a little cold, and asked softly, "Wu... Brother Wu, are you really... really handsome Yingtu?"

Wu Lachi put away his smile, and said seriously: "My good brother, I have acquaintance with you, and I am just an ordinary Beihu man. No matter what official position, it has nothing to do with our affection."At the beginning, Wu Rachi didn't intend to hide it, but just wanted to befriend his brothers as an ordinary person. You... understand what I mean? "

Xue Poye touched his nose and smiled wryly: "Brother Wu, I... hey...!" Picking up the wine glass, he said, "Brother Wu, I respect you!"

Wu Lachi laughed loudly, immediately picked up the wine glass, and drank it down with Xue Poye.

"Brother Wu is handsome Yingtu, this... hey, what should I do?" Xue Poye only sighed in his heart, is it really necessary to assassinate Wu Lachi?This idea flashed and was immediately extinguished. In any case, even if he was tortured, it was impossible to kill Wu Lachi.

He turned his eyes around, and suddenly saw Mr. Ghost over there pouring himself a drink, feeling unspeakably peaceful, his heart moved, and he said loudly: "Mr. Ghost, you seem to be from the Central Plains as well!"

Mr. Gui's eyes were sharp, and he glanced at Xue Poye's face, but he didn't answer, but just gave a faint "hmm".

"Mr. Ghost's name is very interesting. I'm so humble, I've never heard of it." Xue Poye said with a faint smile: "But I don't know where the fairyland is, sir? I'm also from the Central Plains, maybe you know One or two."

Mr. Ghost snorted lightly, but still didn't answer, just drinking.

"It seems that Mr. Ghost has some opinions on this subordinate." Xue Poye said with a smile: "Why are you not even interested in talking to this subordinate? The so-called whether you are close to people in your hometown, whether you are sweet or not, what does your Excellency have to Chu people?" Hate?" His words were puns, very cryptic, although those princes were surprised by Su Mayo's departure, they didn't know much about Chu language and they were not interested in listening to Xue Poye's words. The barbeque milk wine on the table and the seductive orchid in front of him are much more attractive than Xue Poye, so no one is interested in participating in the confrontation between Xue Poye and Mr. Ghost.

Mr. Ghost coughed twice, Wu Lachi finally took Xue Poye's hand and said with a smile: "Good brother, Mr. Ghost calls himself a ghost, but he likes to hide his head and show his tail, and he doesn't like to talk to others. Don't blame him, come on. I apologize to you on behalf of Mr. Ghost, let's have a toast!"

Xue Poye smiled lightly, and said calmly: "Brother Wu said that in this world, some people would rather be ghosts than human beings. Hehe, Mr. Ghost, do you think so?"

He was full of resentment towards this collaborator and traitor, and he couldn't help but sneer while speaking.

But Mr. Ghost stood up slowly, saluted Wu Lachi, seemed unable to bear Xue Poye's ridicule, turned around with his hands behind his back, and walked out of the golden tent slowly.

It was even more strange for the princes to see Mr. Ghost going out, why did Su Mayou and Mr. Ghost go out one after another when Xue Poye came in?But everyone didn't think about the reason.

Wu Rachi stared at the back of Mr. Ghost, a strange look flashed across his eyes, but this look flashed past, and Xue Poye from the shore didn't see it clearly, so he returned to his smile and said: "Good brother, don't care about them, let's drink Ours."

Xue Poye sighed, and said: "Brother Wu, Su Mayo may have misunderstood me, I think... hehe, I should explain."

Wu Rachi didn't ask any misunderstanding, patted Xue Poye on the shoulder, and laughed loudly: "Aunt Sumayou is a straightforward woman, don't blame her." He came closer and whispered; "Good brother, Aunt Sumayou is the most beautiful flower on the grassland, but it is a flower with thorns, no one can pick it, can you?"

Xue Poye was stunned, and quickly smiled wryly, "Brother Wu, I'm afraid I'm going to be pricked by the thorns on the flowers." Looking at Xiaoshi, he saw that he and Xiangzizi were studying the fan. With a profound appearance, he pretends to answer many difficult questions for Kazuko.

Immediately bid farewell to Wu Lachi, the head of the Hubahai clan, and the princes, and then quickly stepped out of the golden tent, went out to ask, and found out that Sumayou had gone to the west.

Looking to the west, there is a pasture, and immediately chased there.
