Two days later, outside the Qiang camp. A horse galloped over briskly. On the horse sat a tall and mighty young man, holding a beauty from the Western Regions in his arms.
"Mu Zheng, come and meet me. Your sister is back!”A loud roar suddenly sounded. The rolling sound waves scattered towards the Qiang people's tents and were pushed far away. Like a thunderclap, the long roars were endless, shaking the ears of the Qiang people. It was difficult not to hear them.
" De-de-de…" A series of hurried horse hooves sounded. A young Qiang man, handsome and wearing a bucket hat, about twenty-five years old, rode his horse and led the way. Behind him were a hundred Qiang people, each of them tall and strong, following closely behind.
"Who are you?" The young Qiang asked. His voice was dignified, making it impossible for anyone to resist. However, all of this was useless against the metal lump in front of him.
"I'm Qiao Feng! Remember this. Today, I'm here to save you, or I might be here to kill you!”Qiao Feng sat on the horse, his left hand holding Mu Yiyi and his right hand holding a large knife. He answered calmly. Under the instructions of the beauty, he already knew that the person who came was Mu Zheng.
"Brother, don't use force! Master Jiumo Yong was killed by him. Moreover, the Great Song soldiers are surrounding us from all sides and will come at any moment…You are no match for them!”Mu Yiyi hurriedly called out in the Qiang language, her beautiful face filled with anxiety.
"May I ask if you are Qiao Feng, the one who killed Jiumo Yong?”After hearing his sister's words, Mu Zheng's handsome face was filled with fear. He gave up the idea of making a move and cupped his hands towards Qiao Feng.
"It's me!"
"I wonder if you have any way to save me?”
"Very simple, surrender! I guarantee that none of you will die after you surrender. Moreover, you will still be the leader of the Qiang people, but you will have to listen to the orders of the Great Song…You are not allowed to rebel!”Qiao Feng said one by one. All the conditions were like a pie falling from the sky for the Qiang people's current situation. It was unbelievable.
"Why are you helping us?" Mu Zheng asked. He didn't trust the Han people, and the few envoys sent by Wang Shao were all rejected by him.
"Because your sister, the most delicate flower in the Qiang tribe, will become my woman!”Qiao Feng looked at the beauty in his arms with an indescribable tenderness in his eyes. The beauty raised her head and smiled sweetly. Her eyes were filled with spring and waves.
"Men, open the camp and welcome the distinguished guests!”Mu Zheng looked at his sister and the warrior on the horse opposite him. They were both affectionate and no longer doubted him. He waved his hand and called out to his subordinate.
" Wuwu…" Ritual music sounded. Two rows of Qiang warriors came out of the camp and stood on both sides of the camp, raising their weapons and shouting.
"Cen Ya Ke Xi Mu Si Zi (Hello)! Warriors from the Great Song, please!" The leader of the Qiang people, Mu Zheng, crossed his arms in front of his chest and bowed to Qiao Feng as he spoke loudly. He turned his horse around and rode side by side with Qiao Feng.
……
In the royal tent, the host and guest sat cross-legged.
The beautiful and passionate Qiang girl offered fragrant tea and left while stroking her knees. Qiao Feng quickly stood up and took it with both hands. These Qiang people had a lot of etiquette. Along the way, Mu Yiyi constantly taught him how to interact with the Qiang people.
"Ya Ke Xi Mu Si Zi (Hello)!”They greeted each other and did not make a fool of themselves.
"Salam! Wooden collar, I don't like to drink tea, do you have any good wine?”After the girl left, Qiao Feng cupped his hands and said to Mu Zheng with a displeased expression.
"Haha, what a good man! Men, offer wine to the warriors!" Mu Zheng laughed loudly. He had a much better impression of this tall Han man. The warriors of the Western Regions all judged a person by their alcohol tolerance. The more a man could drink, the less likely he was to be a bad person.
The girls carried jars of wine up and bowed to Qiao Feng. Mu Yiyi took the wine and personally poured it into Qiao Feng's bowl.
As they toasted and drank, the atmosphere became more and more harmonious!
The Qiang clansmen held wine in their hands and toasted them one by one. Qiao Feng didn't understand what they were talking about. He drank a bowl of wine and laughed heartily. After a round, the fragrance of wine permeated the entire tent.
"Haha, brave warrior, you really have a huge amount! Men, sing and dance!" Mu Zheng's face was red as he stood up shakily and called out. The other Qiang people were even worse off. Some were already drunk and were dragged away by the servants. Seeing that Qiao Feng drank more than them, the wine in the big bowl was emptied again and again without stopping. There was actually no trace of surprise on his face, and everyone was filled with admiration.
"Okay!" A group of beautiful dancers with roses of different colors on their chests walked over. They were all dressed in light muslin, revealing their bellies and arms, making them look as white as snow. Everyone's face was as beautiful as a flower, and their eyes were filled with charm as they bowed towards Qiao Feng. When the band came in, they played a passionate tune and started dancing.
"Beauty, go and dance too!" Qiao Feng looked at Mu Yiyi, who was pouring wine for her, and said to her excitedly.
"Bad guy, I'm coming!" The beauty called out softly, stroking her knees and retreating.
"Come and drink, Wood Collar!" Qiao Feng repeatedly raised a big bowl to Mu Zheng. After watching Mu Yiyi's dance, he really couldn't get excited about this group of dancers. It was very boring. It would be better to drink a few more glasses of wine!
" Okay, okay…" Mu Zheng's alcohol tolerance was no match for Qiao Feng, a water buffalo. He drank without taking it seriously and drank faster than others. His eyes were half-closed from the drunkenness and his tongue rolled up as he replied vaguely.
"Plop!" With a loud sound, Mu Zheng fell off the table. The maid beside him immediately came over to help him up. Not long after, Qiao Feng was the only man left in the large king's tent, drinking and dancing. He slowly became bored.
At this moment, a beauty in a fiery red dance dress flew into the crowd of dancers like a ball of fire. Her long golden hair was tied into many small braids, and it swayed with the dance steps. Her entire body was covered in gold, silver, and jade ornaments, shining with a mesmerizing luster.
The beauty's mesmerizing figure, beautiful dance, and fiery movements…were like the bright moon in the sky, causing the stars to lose their color. They immediately outshone the other women. If it wasn't the number one beauty of the Qiang people, Mu Yiyi, who else could it be?
Qiao Feng gulped down the wine, his tiger eyes staring at Mu Yiyi. The beauty's graceful body was half-covered by the red veil, faintly revealing her charming snow-white skin. Her chest was bigger than the Han Family's women, and it was more upright. It swayed gently with the violent dance steps. Her eyes were like a pair of green gems, lively and lively, constantly sending out charming looks.
Qiao Feng seemed to be drunk. He got up and left his seat, pulling Mu Yiyi's hand, unwilling to put it down. With his other hand on the chest of another dancer, he casually picked up a white rose and gently put it on Mu Yiyi's head.
" Ah…" The beauty's face immediately flushed red as she cried out in alarm. She hadn't taught Qiao Feng this before. The action he had unintentionally made was actually a flower that the Western Regionals offered when they were courting each other to express their love. However, no one had ever plucked flowers from other girls to offer. Qiao Feng could be considered to have come up with something new and created a new way of offering flowers.
"You stay, the others can leave!”Mu Yiyi stopped dancing and said to the dancer whose rose had been plucked, then ordered the other dancers to retreat. Instantly, all the dancers looked at the girl whose flowers were plucked with envy and retreated with their hands on their knees.
"Bad guy, she's yours too!" Mu Yiyi pulled the girl who didn't know what to do and said to Qiao Feng.
"Why?" Qiao Feng was confused.
"Pfft! Who told you to pick flowers!"
……
The next day, Mu Zheng warmly welcomed Qiao Feng and personally accompanied him to introduce the beautiful scenery of River Prefecture.
"Wood Leader, why did you start a war with Great Song?”Qiao Feng asked in confusion.
"Respected warrior, it's not that we want to fight, but the Han people are constantly destroying the land we live in. "They cut down the forest and hunted endlessly…What's even more despicable is that they ignored our customs and ridiculed the Qiang Tribe's etiquette. This is a challenge to us…" Mu Zheng said hatefully.
"If I ask the Han to respect your customs and stop destroying the environment here, are you willing to surrender to the Song?”Qiao Feng pondered for a moment and said to Mu Zheng.
"Of course I'm willing! We've always wanted the knowledge and technology of Great Song. However, the Han are despicable, not including you, Warrior. They have repeatedly deceived us and often changed their minds. That's why we've been resisting!”Mu Zheng's eyes were filled with hatred as he said angrily.
"I will convey your intentions to General Wang Shao. Believe me, the Qiang and Han tribes will live happily together!”Qiao Feng said firmly.
"Thank you, Qiao Feng! Whether you succeed or not, you are still a friend of the Qiang people!”Mu Zheng crossed his hands in front of his chest and bowed.
On the third day, the envoy sent by Wang Shao arrived. Under Qiao Feng's persuasion, the two sides had a very friendly negotiation. Mu Zheng was still the leader of the Qiang people, leading the tribes to live in the beautiful land of River Prefecture. However, the north and south were guarded by the Song soldiers. Mu Zheng sent troops to coordinate defense and jointly resist the invasion of Tubo and Xixia.
From then on, the Xi River Six Prefectures were like a sharp knife that was deeply inserted into the main road to the west of the Northern Song Dynasty. Regardless of whether it was Tubo or Xixia, the Great Song could form a pincer attack.
Qiao Feng solemnly requested the messenger that the Song soldiers, merchants, and commoners who came here must learn the etiquette of the Qiang people. Those who did not pass were not allowed to enter Hezhou.
By the time both sides reached a satisfactory agreement, more than ten days had passed. Qiao Feng missed Luoyang very much. He missed the little beauty Wang Ruoshui and Quan Qingqing…He was no longer willing to stay.
That night, Mu Zheng held a grand party. Mu Yiyi was like a happy peacock, pulling Qiao Feng to dance together, offering milk tea and countless kisses...
The next day, outside Xi City.
"Akyolukbaosong (I wish you a safe journey)!”Mu Zheng led his clansmen and rode on horses with Wang Shao and the other Song generals. He bowed to Qiao Feng loudly. Qiao Feng cupped his hands and returned the greetings. He carried Mu Yiyi and mounted his horse. Behind them were the two maids of Beauty Mu and the girl whose flower was plucked. They mounted their horses and followed.
"Wooden Leader, General Wang! I hope that when we meet again, the Han and Qiang tribes can live happily together!”Qiao Feng turned around and shouted at them.
"We will work hard!"
"Hero Qiao, have a safe journey!" Wang Shao was very reluctant to part with this valiant man. He waved his hands with tears and shouted at Qiao Feng.
" Giddy-up…" The man and four women were eager to return home. They whipped their horses and briskly headed east.
