twin moon

Chapter 143 No.18 The Deer and the Wolf [-]

The grass is in vogue, the moon shines thousands of miles away, and the wedding celebration on the Yanluoyuan that lasted for a whole day has gradually come to an end.The smell of wine and meat still lingers in the air.Some people who refused to sleep sat by the fire humming melodious and unknown old tunes while they were drunk.

Jiang Yan wandered alone.Although it was a big wedding, the noise around him didn't seem to have anything to do with him.The slightly drunk young man deliberately avoided the crowd, and unknowingly walked back to his tent again.

He looked up at the twin moons in the sky, and seemed to see Ning Yue's smiling face again in a daze.The black-eyed boy knew in his heart that from now on, he would be doomed to lose other things forever in order to gain some things, so he couldn't help but sigh.

Unexpectedly, a loud female voice suddenly came to mind behind him:

"The boy from the south is cunning. It's easy to find if you teach someone! You have already married our Gu Enji, so why did you leave her alone in the tent and slipped away without a word? You can marry Tuya, but this How many men on this piece of grassland dare not even dream about things, but you still sigh here reluctantly. I really don’t understand what is Gu Enji’s fancy about you? "

Jiang Yan was taken aback, and quickly turned his head to look. Seeing that the speaker was Yu Tuya's grandma Wu Ren, who was serving sleeping, eating and daily living, he immediately argued:

"I—I just wanted to get some air outside—"

"Why are you so angry, did you feel wronged by marrying our Gu Enji? What time is it, are you planning to hang her in the tent all night? They are waiting for you, why don't you hurry up and follow me! "

After Wu Ren finished speaking, he couldn't help but grab the young man's wrist and dragged him back towards the big tent.

"Wait for me? What am I waiting for?"

"What did you say you were going to do! You are both husband and wife now, do you still have to share the bill?!"

Hearing Jiang Yan's question, Wu Ren immediately turned around and gave him a hard look.It was not easy for the young man to use brute force to break free, so he had to bow his head obediently and follow the other party all the way, and soon came to Tuya's bed tent.

In front of the open tent door, the white deer flag fluttering in the wind has already gathered many unfamiliar faces, all of whom are big and small family leaders who support Tuya.Everyone had drunken smiles on their faces. When they saw Jiang Yan approaching from a distance, they all rushed forward with a whoosh, and surrounded him three layers inside and outside three layers.

The black-eyed boy was a little overwhelmed by so many people, and suddenly saw a familiar face among them, he quickly twisted his body and squeezed in front of the other person and asked in a low voice:

"Old general, why are there so many people gathered here?"

Yuan Ti's face was also full of smiles, as if he was as happy as marrying a daughter: "Don't panic, son-in-law. These families are the most trusted old clans of King Tieqin. There is an unwritten rule in the Muyun clan that the new son-in-law On the night of getting married, parents and relatives must send him into the tent and wait outside the tent all night, hoping that the two of them can successfully leave a torch for the family and continue the bloodline."

As Yuan Ti said, he knocked the cigarette bag in his hand on the sole of his shoe a few times, raised his hand and pushed Yan Yan's back vigorously, and said in a joking manner:

"Princess, she has been waiting for a long time, you should go in with Wu Ren as soon as possible, don't think about slipping away this time!"

Amidst the laughter of the crowd, the black-eyed boy was led into Tuya's tent by Wu Ren in embarrassment.The air is filled with dense water vapor, and a touch of sandalwood is also lit.The tent was dark, only a few dim candles were lit, Jiang Yan took a few steps forward tentatively, and just now saw a figure sitting upright beside the couch covered with a light gauze tent.

"Gu Enji, why haven't you bathed and changed your clothes yet? The water in the tub is already cold! I'll order someone to burn some more, so that you can hurry up and enter the bridal chamber!"

Wu Ren took a few quick steps, reached into the bathtub on the side of the tent a few times, and immediately turned his head and gave Jiang Yan a look, "It's all because of you, kid. Gu Enji refused to say a word. She is angry, hurry up and coax her!"

"Oh……"

The black-eyed boy responded, and walked slowly five steps away from Tuya, but he didn't know what to say or what to say.

"Oh, isn't the boy from the South a fool? In the face of such a delicate bride, can't he even reach out and hug her? What are you doing standing there stupidly? Do you even want me to teach you this?"

Wu Ren watched anxiously, urged again, and stretched out his hand to push forward.But before she could take her foot forward, the girl sitting on the couch suddenly said:
"Grandma, it doesn't matter."

"Gu Enji, don't be too condescending to this southern boy. Now he is the benevolent son-in-law of my Muyun Department, so he can't do things so carelessly!"

"Grandma is not in a hurry, I'm going to fire him—it's just that I'm a little shy. I want to whisper a few words to him first, and you can go and boil the water for me, and you don't have to wait here all the time."

Tuya waved her hand lightly, but signaled the other party to leave.Seeing that the princess persisted, Wu Ren didn't say anything more, he called the maids in the tent to carry out the bathtub together, and then put down the thick curtain in front of the tent.

"Come and sit next to me, it's tiring standing there."

Tuya raised her finger and pointed to her side, softly beckoning the young man to come over.Jiang Yan hesitated for a moment, but walked over obediently.After sitting down, there was a buzzing sound in his head, his face couldn't help feeling a little hot, his heartbeat quickly became rapid, and he exhausted all his strength to finally suppress his heavy breathing:

"What do you—want to tell me?"

"Tomorrow, I will announce to my followers that you will be Xin Hehan of my Muyun tribe."

Although he knew that Tuya married him, the main reason was to stabilize the position of Bakwuqin's family.But the black-eyed boy never thought that the burden of inheriting the position of Hehan would be so easily handed over to him, and he felt uneasy, and his previous shyness was immediately thrown into the sky:

"That's why Mu Hyuk said at the ceremony today that he would never surrender to a southerner? He already guessed that you would do this, right?"

Tuya didn't directly answer the other party's question: "The scouts sent by the old general Yuanti just sent back the news that Muhe has already made some moves after returning to Caobo. It seems that a big battle between the deer and wolf factions probably won't last long." It is inevitable. And all we can do now is to prepare early."

"But why me? Can't you do Hehan yourself?"

"Are you worried that the words Mu He said before will make the tens of thousands of people outside and the large number of families refuse to obey your orders? Don't worry, today's marriage between you and me is determined by Changshengtian, and Heroic spirits of the ancestors of the past generations of the Heavenly Muyun Department will testify, and they will never object again."

The girl guessed what the other party was thinking, and tried her best to persuade her, "This vast grassland in Shuobei is a place that only believes in the law of the jungle. After all, you are a southerner, so you can't understand that for a woman, if you want to live on this grassland How difficult it is to get the surrender of everyone. Just treat it as a favor for me, okay?"

After Tuya finished speaking, the young man didn't answer immediately, but just stared at the other person's eyes, without blinking.Suddenly, his throat twitched, and then he nodded solemnly as if he was sinking his boat:
"But how do we need to prepare? What do you want me to do for you?"

Seeing the other party's agreement, the girl's tense facial features finally relaxed, and her eyes seemed to be filled with hope because of the other party's answer:

"You have learned martial arts, so you should know some art of war, right? Today's Iron Heavy Mountain has only a few thousand cavalry, and it's really hard to reuse it in a real battle. I need you to build an iron cavalry that can sweep the entire grassland as soon as possible! No, not only I need you, but the entire Muyun Department needs you! We must win this battle with Muhyuk!"

Princess Di Ren's expression was solemn and determined.Seeing that Jiang Yan fell silent again, she hurriedly stretched out her hand again, stroking the back of the boy's hand:
"Why, what do you think is wrong?"

At this time, the black-eyed boy felt a little remorse, regretting that he hadn't followed Xiang Baili to learn the art of war hard.Nowadays, when the book is used, I have little hatred, but suddenly I feel a little stretched.

He understands that if there is a war with Muhe one day, although the two sides are still evenly matched at first glance, for the deer faction full of old and weak women and children, it will be a near-death dilemma.If he wins, he will be saved from a desperate situation, so there is no need to say much.But if he lost, not only would it be impossible for him to leave this grassland alive, but he might even drag down the tens of thousands of Muyun tribe outside, and Tuya in front of him would be buried with him!
However, right now there is no other way to choose.The young man drove out all the chaotic thoughts from his mind, turned his palms around and held Tuya's hand tightly.At this time, what he needs is not endless worries, but an indomitable courage to move forward:
"No matter what, if we want to survive, the next few months are the last chance before us, and there is no way out. You are right, if we have to fight this battle, we can only win, not lose!"

Just at this time, there was another commotion outside the tent, and it was Wu Ren and the maids who carried the heavy tub back into the tent.Seeing this, the two people sitting on the couch immediately let go of their clenched hands, as if they had been hit by someone for doing something bad.

"Gu Enji, the water has been reheated. You should hurry up and take a bath, so that you can get down to business later."

Seeing the distressed appearance of the boys and girls, Wu Ren and the maids covered their mouths and laughed.Jiang Yan looked sideways, and saw the hot air rolling in the tub not far away, and a few medicinal flower petals could be seen on the water surface, which made people feel hot all over, and burned even more on the face.

"You two go on, don't be in a bad mood because of us."

Wu Ren's eyes were already narrowed into narrow slits with a smile.But after she finished speaking, she just stood by the barrel and looked at the two, showing no intention of leaving.

"Grandma, you...you look at us like this, it's kind of weird..." the girl Shuodi finally couldn't help but said.

"Gu Enji, don't you need me to wait here?"

The grandma on the opposite side seemed a little surprised—after all, she brought up this princess with her own hands since she was a child, and it has become a habit to take care of every detail like this.

"No, no. We—we'll do it ourselves."

Although she was a master and servant, Ke Tuya's voice suddenly became as gentle as a house cat.Even though the lights in the tent were dim, Jiang Yan didn't need to look closely at all to see the shy blush that had spread to the neck of the other party.

Wu Ren, who was a little slow, finally came to his senses, hurriedly urging the maids to retreat from the tent.The curtain became quiet again, only the boy and the girl were left looking at each other.

After some tossing, the sky has gradually dawned.Inside the originally pitch-black tent, a thin layer of light glowed faintly at this moment.

Jiang Yan suddenly gave a jolt, jumped up from the side of the couch, and started to walk out of the tent:

"It's almost dawn, you should rest well."

However, before he took a few steps, he felt that the belt was suddenly pulled by a force, and then Tuya's shy voice came from his ears:

"You can't leave. Now everyone in Yanluo Plain knows that you, General Yan, are the benefactor of my Muyun Department. Besides, there are so many people guarding outside the tent, and you will be blocked before you can go out." .”

The boy turned around again, nodded hesitantly:

"Then—then you go to sleep, I'll make do with my clothes on the ground for a night—"

Before she finished speaking, Princess Di Ren continued in a soft mosquito moaning voice:

"If you and I fail to have sex on the wedding night, how should I announce that you will succeed Da Hehan tomorrow? If people's hearts are not stable, how many people will be lost from the remaining tribe? If it really comes to that point , we don’t even have a chance of winning.”

Jiang Yan wanted to say something more, but he could only hear humming in his ears, and something seemed to be stuck in his throat, and he couldn't even utter a word, so he could only let the girl's breath blow on his face .Suddenly, he felt the opponent's hand touch his waist, and instinctively shrank back, but there was nowhere to retreat.

In a daze, the black-eyed boy watched the girl who had become his married wife get closer and closer, and buried his whole body in his arms.

The girl clung to Jiang Yan's chest, but her whole body was trembling slightly.However, he closed his eyes tightly and clenched his teeth in pain.What appeared in his mind again was the appearance of the somewhat willful and savage red-haired girl whom he could never forget...
