"You... um..." Chen Yuanshu struggled hard and tried to push Jiang Xuan away, and then her hands were pressed against the tree by Jiang Xuan. With Chen Yuanshu's innate realm and strength, she could actually kill Jiang Xuan directly if neither of them had a knife in their hands, as long as she wanted to, but she seemed to "forget" that she had a realm. She struggled and seemed to be trying her best, but she only used the brute force of her body.
After she "reluctantly" and "fought desperately", she finally "forced" to respond to Jiang Xuan.
Her arms hooked around Jiang Xuan's neck.
The harder she resisted, the more passionate her kiss was in response.
It was even difficult to judge who tore whose clothes first.
During this process, Jiang Xuan once thought that Chen Yuanshu's excessive initiative on that night in Black Pool Mountain was not necessarily all the effect of poisoning, but also had something to do with herself. She was such a wild woman in her bones.
The two quickly entered the state.
Again and again.
…
At night, in the open space of the Jiang clan's Tucheng martial arts training ground.
The bonfire was burning, and people were singing and dancing. This bonfire dinner was held in the name of Jiang Xuan's celebration of his comprehension of the Jiejing sword technique. In fact, Jiang Xuan was not notified of the dinner, and there was no need to disturb Jiang Xuan's retreat.
The celebration was real, and it was also real to find a gimmick to make money.
A large number of Feixue City geniuses led by Chen Yuanzhou and their guards were still in Tucheng. They were told that there would be a bonfire party in the evening. If they wanted to participate, it would need to be bigger, and they would have to pay some money...Of course, the "young masters" from the big city would not miss this opportunity to experience tribal customs and activities. They were very active and took the initiative, and they didn't even blink their eyes when they were paid.
So this bonfire party was extremely grand, and the servants mobilized from the lower tribes kept shuttling among the crowd, delivering drinks and food.
Some black armor guards also participated in this bonfire party, but the tribe did not ask them for money.
Jiang Xuan didn't care about the management of the tribe.
Women are responsible for everything, such as tribal business, tribal patrols and defense, catching traitors, festival activities, criminal investigations and trials within the tribe, etc.
The men who had fled the tribe and returned, due to the previous experience of "Jiang Bao", could not obtain the right to manage any tribal affairs before the end of the life-and-death battle.
This was Jiang Xuan's order.
As the night deepened, the campfire was still noisy.
"Hey, Master Yuanzhou, why are you blushing? Did you drink too much? You just drank a few jars?" Jiang Cuiyun put one hand around Chen Yuanzhou's neck and teased drunkenly.
"Yes... I drank too much..." Chen Yuanzhou really couldn't stand it.
He and his wife had a deep relationship since childhood.
Jiang Cuiyun had been teasing him all night, and Chen Yuanzhou also knew that Jiang Cuiyun was making fun of him and would not really want to do anything to him, and he would not betray his wife, but he couldn't get angry. Jiang Cuiyun was more than ten years older than him. Although her strength was far inferior to his, she was more open than him.
More importantly... she is Jiang Xuan's Aunt Cuiyun, an elder whom Jiang Xuan respects very much.
Jiang Xuan killed the first Xiantian guest of the Shen family just this afternoon for Jiang Cuiyun! He even wanted to kill Shen Taiping... If you want to make a list of "the most untouchable people in the Jiang clan", Jiang Xuan is the first, Grandma Jinhua is the second, and the third one may be Jiang Cuiyun!
But then again, Chen Yuanzhou is not at a disadvantage in this matter. The Jiang clan is full of beauties, and the 36-year-old Jiang Cuiyun is no exception.
"Coward! Are you afraid that I will force you to drink? Have men ever admitted that they drank too much?"
"Aunt Cuiyun, please forgive me!"
"What did you call me?" Jiang Cuiyun glared, "I am only thirteen years older than you, what do you call me?"
"I am on equal terms with the Jiang clan leader, I can't call you elder sister, wouldn't the Jiang clan leader be at a disadvantage?" Chen Yuanzhou said helplessly.
"That's right..." Jiang Cuiyun nodded, holding the wine jar in her other hand, raised it again, and drank a sip, looking up like a man.
Chen Yuanzhou held his fan with both hands, looking like a bullied scholar.
Lin Bin and others gathered in the distance. Facing Chen Yuanzhou's eyes for help, they could only spread their hands to show that they were powerless.
"Sister Cuiyun." A man's voice suddenly sounded behind her.
Drunk Jiang Cuiyun glanced back and saw a tall, handsome black-armored guard named "Di Kaisheng", 35 years old, perfect innate and realized the unity of man and sword!
"You're back." Jiang Cuiyun didn't want to pay attention to his tone.
"Well, just came back from the mountains." Di Kaisheng nodded, and then said: "I heard that in the afternoon..."
"It's okay." Jiang Cuiyun interrupted him, and then turned back, looking like he was ending the conversation.
Chen Yuanzhou could see that there must be something going on between the two of them, and they were in conflict. He hurriedly said, "Aunt Cuiyun, I'll go first, you guys talk." As he said that, he broke free from Jiang Cuiyun's arm that was hooked around his neck and walked away, walking faster and faster.
"I think..." Di Kaisheng walked to Jiang Cuiyun's side.
"There's nothing to say." Jiang Cuiyun suddenly became indifferent, as if she was not drunk at all. "I warned you, don't mention that matter again! I can't leave the Jiang clan! Not now, not in the future, even if the life-and-death battle is over, I won't! I've lost three husbands, I don't care if I have a fourth husband! Get out! If you harass me again, I will tell Lord Lei Hong that you are disturbing the tribesmen."
Jiang Cuiyun said, turned around and left.
"I can join the Jiang clan." The man's voice came.
Jiang Cuiyun stopped suddenly, not believing her ears. She turned around and looked at Di Kaisheng. She walked closer and asked with wide eyes, "What did you say? Say it again!"
"I can surrender... change my nationality and join the Jiang clan!" Di Kaisheng looked into Jiang Cuiyun's eyes, "I've figured it out. I was born in poverty and my parents died early. I have nothing to worry about. I can retire from the Black Armor Army! Join your tribe and I'll marry you!"
Jiang Cuiyun was really shocked.
Although most of the Black Armor Guards under Lei Hong have families, there are still some who are widows.
Almost all the Jiang clan members are widows!
There is a shortage of men!
Young ones are okay, and old ones are okay too. The key is that some of them are as fierce as wolves in their thirties and forties...The Black Armor Guards are all innate strongmen, with an average age of less than 40 years old and extremely high quality. After being in contact for more than half a year, something will always happen between single men and widows.
And it is hard to say who uses whom to relieve loneliness.
Jiang Xuan knew about this.
Lei Hong also knew about it.
The two even talked about it privately once. The result of the discussion was that if it was found that the Black Armor Guards with families had improper intentions, Lei Hong would deal with it. However, if it was a single Black Armor Guard and a widow of the Jiang clan... there was nothing to say if it was consensual.
Jiang Xuan also told Grandma Jinhua later to pay more attention to certain women in the clan, so that they would not be lonely for a long time and their eyes would light up when they saw other strong men. They should not have too much contact with those Black Armor Guards with families, otherwise it would be bad if they caused trouble.
About four months ago.
Jiang Cuiyun pretended to be drunk and took down the tallest and most handsome single man in the Black Armor Guards!
Di Kaisheng is not only the most handsome, but also extremely talented! At the age of 35, he has the opportunity to comprehend the "power of heaven and man" in the future! His talent is even comparable to Jiang Hanfeng!
Jiang Cuiyun didn't think much about what happened with him at the time, just to relieve her loneliness.
To put it bluntly, it was just playing with men!
Jiang Cuiyun never thought that in just four months, Di Kaisheng would be willing to join the Jiang clan just to marry her? ! !
…
Beside the fence far from the bonfire, Liu Feihu and Zhang Xiu were both holding a bowl in one hand and a wine jar in the other, drinking and chatting, occasionally clinking their bowls.
"Hiss! It's over!" Zhang Xiu suddenly took a breath.
"What's wrong?" Liu Feihu asked, and then followed Zhang Xiu's gaze, but the bonfire was noisy and there were too many people, so he had to ask again, "What are you looking at?"
"Old Di and Jiang Cuiyun!" Zhang Xiu said.
"They... aren't they that kind of relationship?" Liu Feihu saw it and smiled, "You know what, they look quite good together. Old Di has become a wooden man since his childhood sweetheart died. It's been so many years... Hey! I thought he would never get close to women in his life! I didn't expect that the women in the tribe are so powerful that they can melt stones for you!" "Half a month ago, before Old Di left, he told me that he had a quarrel with Jiang Cuiyun." Zhang Xiu said solemnly. "Fight? Why?" Liu Feihu asked. "He said he wanted to marry Jiang Cuiyun, take Jiang Cuiyun away from the Jiang clan, and change to the imperial clan. Jiang Cuiyun didn't agree and scolded him." Zhang Xiu said. "Isn't he asking for trouble?" Liu Feihu said immediately, "At this time, asking to marry someone is no different from asking them to betray the tribe. Besides, if you think about it, you will know that Jiang Cuiyun will never leave the tribe. She is a die-hard!"
"Yes... Actually, Lao Di also knows that. He is just trying to fight for it."
"It's over. Don't expect Jiang Cuiyun to treat him well in the future."
"No... Lao Di said something else!" Zhang Xiu's face became more and more wrong.
"What did you say? Don't keep me in suspense." Liu Feihu asked, and took a sip of wine.
"He said... this time he went into the mountains, he would seriously consider joining the Jiang clan." Zhang Xiu said.
"Puff——" Liu Feihu spurted out a mouthful of wine, his eyes widened like copper bells, his face full of disbelief, and he said after a while: "I guess it was just a casual mention..."
"Look!" Zhang Xiu gestured, "Look, does it look like a casual mention?"
Liu Feihu looked over again. The distance was too far and the surroundings were noisy. He couldn't hear what Di Kaisheng was saying to Jiang Cuiyun, but he saw that the two had hugged each other, and Jiang Cuiyun was moved!
Pah!
Liu Feihu didn't even hold the bowl in his hand, and it fell to the ground and broke. He seemed to be unaware, raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the two people, and screamed like a ghost: "He, he, he, he, has he decided? He wants to lower his nationality and join the Jiang clan? He wants to give up the noble status of the Black Armor Guard? Give up the house in Feixue City? Give up the imperial nationality? Give up the right to be protected by the imperial law? Lower his status and join a tribe?!!"
"Just for a woman?!!"
If it weren't so noisy, Liu Feihu's exaggerated screams would definitely attract the attention of many people.
He lost his composure!
Because this matter is simply unbelievable! It is outrageous to the extreme!
Changing from a city dweller to a tribesman is a self-degradation. You must know that city dwellers are protected and regulated by the laws of the dynasty, and once you become a tribesman, you will only be regulated by the laws of the dynasty, but not protected!
Because the tribe is autonomous!
The tribal leader has the power of life and death over the tribesmen!
He can kill you when he is in a bad mood!
Tribal people are considered barbaric and inferior. In some aspects of the law, this is also true. For example, tribal people cannot purchase property in big cities. They can rent it for any length of time, but they cannot buy it! And if a city dweller becomes a tribesman, he must sell the property in the city!
Even if it is just the most ordinary citizen of the dynasty, he is down and out, and even begs for food on the street! If you ask him to join the tribe, he is unwilling and even shows contempt!
Be a beggar, but also a beggar of the dynasty.
Can't be a beggar of the barbarians!
Wei Baiyun's marriage to Jiang Hanfeng, which caused a sensation back then, was a change from imperial nationality to tribal nationality, so the wording was "marrying down"! Even though Wei Baiyun was not a royal relative.
It's easy to be demoted! It's extremely difficult to be promoted back!
Therefore, it can be said that it is extremely exaggerated for city people to take the initiative to join the tribe.
Also! Di Kaisheng is a Black Armor Guard! The treatment enjoyed by the strongest innate soldiers of this dynasty is unimaginable for the tribesmen, but he wants to give it up!
"There are two ways to join the tribe. Directly joining requires changing the surname, and marrying a wife to join... You don't need to change your surname, but your descendants need to be surnamed Jiang, which is the same as marrying into the family!" Zhang Xiu said.
"If the Black Armor Guard marries into the tribe, if this gets out..." Liu Feihu subconsciously raised his hand and grabbed his hair, pulling out a handful of it.
Everyone was stunned.
"The Jiang clan is very short of men."
Zhang Xiulian said, "According to past experience, if too many men die in a life-and-death battle, after victory, they will offer generous conditions to attract men from other clans to marry into the clan and ensure the reproduction of the clan...Intermarriage between clans is the norm, but intermarriage between city dwellers and clans is extremely rare, not to mention the special nature of the Black Armor Guards. Once he joins the clan, he will teach the children of the clan the most advanced training methods in the imperial army... then..."
The entire clan will undergo a qualitative change in one or two generations!
"Old Di realized the unity of man and sword at the age of 29, right? His talent is higher than both of us!" Liu Feihu subconsciously grabbed a handful of hair again, "With his identity, appearance, and talent! Even in Feixue City, how many legitimate daughters of middle-class families are willing to marry him! Jiang Cuiyun has lost three husbands..."
Liu Feihu has no problem with Jiang Cuiyun.
He is even a close friend of Zhang Xiu and Jiang Xuan!
But friendship is friendship! It still can't change the shock that the black-armored guards will marry into the Jiang clan! This shock is too great!
******
Dozens of miles away from the Jiang clan's earthen city.
Under the moonlight, horses and beasts are running wildly. Shen Tuyu's face is solemn. From time to time, he turns his head to look back, as if he is worried that there will be pursuers catching up.
"Damn it! I will come back! I will kill you all!" Shen Tuyu gritted her teeth and cursed. She left in a hurry this time, with only a small bag on her shoulder.
Huh!
Lei Hong appeared out of thin air on a nearby cliff, looking at the departing Shen Tuyu from a distance, and just looked at him expressionlessly, then disappeared again and rushed to the Jiang clan's earthen city.
A moment later.
Jiang clan's earthen city, exquisite courtyard.
"Come here." Lei Hong appeared out of thin air and ordered outside the door.
"Sir." The black-armored guard standing guard outside the door came in.
"What's going on?" Lei Hong sat down at the stone table and asked the black-armored guard, "Is there a bonfire party over at the martial arts training ground? What are they celebrating?"
With Lei Hong's perception ability, he knew the general situation in Tucheng without even looking.
"Sir, this afternoon..." The black-armored guard told everything that happened in the afternoon in an extremely passionate tone. Lei Hong was stunned after listening to it.
Sixteen years old! Late Xiantian! Comprehended the swordsmanship of the robbery realm? ! !
What kind of monster is this? ! !
"I know." Lei Hong said, thinking about it, he disappeared in the yard out of thin air.
This was the first time in more than half a year that he took the initiative to go to the back mountain to find Jiang Xuan.
