Chapter 534 The Pearl of Longevity
At the foot of Yinshan Mountain, in the middle of the yurt that can't be seen at first glance is a huge grassland with a radius of more than ten miles. This grassland is obviously specially vacant.
Every year, the Mongolian Khan worships the immortal world, which is the most important prosperous era for all Mongolian tribes. No matter how far apart, as long as the whole tribe is not dead, the tribes on the grassland will travel thousands of miles and thousands of miles to participate, and they will not be able to come. They will also send people to come, just to get a good omen this year.
Faith, sometimes, is a bit inexplicable, but it is so heavy.
Countless tribes on the grassland came to Yinshan to participate in the sacrifice of the immortality of the heaven. Of course, it is impossible for all tribes to be close to Yinshan, and it is even more impossible for all tribes to camp near the Khan Golden Tent in Ogedei. Only the most powerful tribes on the grassland and the tribes of several Mongolian princes can have a place on Yinshan.
The other tribes of all sizes surrounded the huge grassland that was deliberately empty and set up camp tents at one time according to the strength of the tribe. The stronger the tribe, the more string control men, the better they can occupy.
The deliberately vacant pasture is not only used to sacrifice to the heaven of immortality. Spring is the season when all things are born. Cattle and sheep are in love, and naturally it is also the time when countless young men and women on the grassland show their charm and figures. This year is a bit different. After sacrifice to the heaven of immortality, it will be the "Great Huli Getai" conference of all the Mongolians in the entire grassland.
"Great Huli Getai" was the first in Genghis Khan. It was previously started in July and August every year. This year, due to some special reasons, Ogedei issued an edict last year that all tribes on the grassland sacrifices to the "Eternal Life" and "Great Huli Getai" will be held at the same time.
"The Great Huli Resurgence" is the Nadam Conference in later generations.
On the "Great Huli Grid Platform", all tribes will send the most brave and warriors to hold activities such as riding, archery, wrestling, bonfire conferences. There is no need to consider archery and wrestling, but it is naturally to show the strength of each tribe. Occasionally, warriors from small tribes are extremely outstanding. If they can show their talents on the "Great Huli Grid Platform", they will be favored by those big tribes and even the Khans, and even the small tribes behind him, they may all rise to the sky in one step.
The bonfire conference was to give Mongolian warriors and Mongolian girls who had accumulated a winter to openly vent their excess energy.
At this moment, the Mongols can give birth to a child, no matter which tribe is born, the more young and strong the tribe will be. The more men can wear armor and control strings, the more tribes can seize more fertile grasslands to feed more cattle and sheep and feed more people. In this virtuous cycle, the strength of the tribe will naturally flourish.
There are not so many men and women on the prairie, and there are too many things that can be seen as the sky, the tent and the ground, and the bed.
Therefore, after every sacrifice to the Heaven of Eternal Life, each tribe will welcome a wave of crying babies and children after October. The patriarchs and elders of each tribe, even the Mongolian Khan, were happy to see it.
At this moment, on the wide grassland, more than ten riders were riding horses, making various dazzling movements on the horse's back from time to time, sometimes rolling, sometimes suddenly hiding on the horse's back, and even more, relying on their superb riding skills to jump and change horses in the gallop. In this dazzling movement, sharp arrows were occasionally shot from the more than ten riders toward the target standing on the grassland.
At least nine out of the ten were the bull's eye, but a sharp arrow had never escaped from the target. Whenever the red heart was in the center, it would cause countless herdsmen of various tribes to cheer loudly.
Among the more than ten riders, the middle is a petite woman wearing silver leather armor. Compared with the more than ten majestic Mongolian men around her, this woman is particularly eye-catching. If you look closely, you will find that no matter where the woman is running, there will be several riders around her, not surround her, but more like a guard.
This woman has a slim figure and her riding skills are not inferior to those of the Mongolian men around her. Among the more than ten riders, this woman has been racing in the front and has never fallen from the top three. She has very few moves, and occasionally she travels through the horse's belly and comes out from the other side. Whenever this woman moves, she will always welcome the cheers of countless tribes like thunderous cheers.
"Princess Jade! Princess Jade!"
"The Pearl of Eternal Life!"
...
Princess Jade is not only skilled in riding, but also has never stopped the long bow in her hand while galloping. Every sharp arrow hits the bull's eye. Every time she shoots, it will cause countless cheers in the crowd around her.
More than ten riders soon arrived at the end of the grassland. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the two riders who were still in front of Princess Jade slowed down at the same time. Princess Jade, who was still ranked third, was already the first place after reaching the finish line. Seeing Princess Jade suppressing a group of herders who were said to be the most brave and warlike men in various tribes on the grassland, they even shouted and cheered desperately.
Princess Yu turned over and dismounted, and more than ten knights standing around her surrounded her, gathering around her. Looking at her face, who was not Nalan Yu that Jia Sidao had seen before?
The warriors who are famous among more than ten large tribes and are good at shooting and riding seem to have no psychological barriers to losing to Nalan Yu. His proud look is more like he has received some kind of reward. In addition, everyone's eyes looked at Nalan Yu, and the heat in his eyes seemed to melt the snow on Yinshan Mountain.
Nalan Yu's pretty face was tense. Perhaps she had just moved around and had a few blush on her face. She had a little more delicateness and looked even more beautiful.
A dozen knights surrounded her, and a few of them saw Nalan Yu's appearance, and they all swallowed quietly.
At this moment, Nalan Yu was obviously in a bad mood. She didn't pay attention to the knights around her. She shook the golden wire horse whip in her hand, made a crisp sound, and went straight to the outside of the grassland without looking back. The servants waiting around the grassland hurriedly took the cloak to put on Nalan Yu.
Nalan Yu is not stupid, so he naturally knows that he can win the first place in the riding and shooting competition with more than a dozen most famous warriors in various tribes. These big and thick warriors were too rough. Except for the simple-minded shepherds around the grassland watching the fun, who didn't realize that these people were deliberately giving her face to the princess and deliberately giving her?
Nalan Yu is competitive, but she is extremely disdainful of these people. Not to mention that these people are so attentive, she is even more clear about what they want to do.
