    ps: (Thanks to our glorious charter friends for the reward! The second update is delivered today!)

    "Your Majesty, we have spotted a tribal wedding convoy ahead. They seem to have encountered a group of bride snatchers. Your Majesty will decide whether we should intervene or not!" the scout reported.

    "What? We met a bride-stealer again? These Mongolians are really barbaric and cruel!" Yue Yun couldn't help but sigh.

    To be honest, after going deep into the desert, Yue Yun finally understood the sufferings of the desert herdsmen.  The life of these herdsmen was indeed difficult, so it was no wonder that when Genghis Khan later said that he would take them to attack the relatively wealthy Jin Kingdom and steal money, food and women, they all rushed forward.

    But the most miserable people on the grassland are the women here.  Needless to say, those who were reduced to female slaves because their tribes were defeated in the war. They ate the worst food, slept the least, lived in the dirtiest tents, wore the thinnest clothes, and had to be beaten by the men of the defeated tribes.  To ravage them casually is to live a life worse than death.

    And even for free women, the situation is not much better.  It was okay when they were young. Due to the nature of fathers and daughters, there are few fathers who do not love their daughters. But when they get a little older, they will start to work for the tribe.  After getting married, you have to shoulder the burden of supporting the family.  Such as mending clothes, milking cows, shearing sheep, brewing wine, making leather, moving tents, etc., these tiring and tedious tasks are all done by them.

    There are only three things that men on the grassland need to do: herding cattle and sheep, hunting and fighting Well, if xxoo is also counted, that is four things.  so.  Almost all men on the grassland are lazy.

    And since there are no laws and enforcers on the grassland, it¡¯s just about who has the biggest fist.  Whoever has the final say has the final say, and fights and wars between tribes are commonplace.  For a man on the grassland, as long as he can fulfill his responsibility of protecting the family, he is considered a competent husband on the grassland.

    So, strictly speaking, if in a Han Chinese place, men support women.  On the grassland, it is reversed.  On the contrary, it is more often the case that women support men.  (This tradition continues to this day. Friends who have been to Outer Mongolia will know that most of the men in Outer Mongolia only fight and drink alcohol, and rely on their wives to support the family)

    ??????????????????????????????????????? It would be fine, but the "custom" of "robbing a bride" is still prevalent on the grassland. Even a married woman, as long as someone else has the ability to snatch her away.  She became that man's wife.

    In the past year, Yue Yun encountered at least three "bride snatching cases". Later, he resolved the bride-robbing incidents by asking the woman who was robbed to see which party she would like to go with.

    "Go and have a look! We should follow the old rules and respect the robbed woman's choice. We cannot allow this custom to continue to develop!" Yue Yun said solemnly.

    Xin Qiji nodded, then waved his hand, and together with Yang Xing, each led 500 cavalry to surround them in two groups.

    In a moment, all the people rushing to get married and welcoming the bride were surrounded.  Both sides saw the sudden appearance of the Imperial Cavalry.  They were all terrified. After all, the current Imperial Army was known for its bloodthirsty nature on the grasslands.  All Mongols resisted slightly.  Just kill them all.  However, their muskets were much more accurate and faster than the Mongolian knights' bows and arrows.  As soon as the gunshot was fired, a Mongol warrior died.  This gave them great fear.

    Yue Yun looked at the situation in front of him and saw that there were about sixty or seventy people in the welcoming team, including men, women, old and young.  The bride was still sitting in the carriage and had not come out. Several herdsmen who were surrounding the carriage and drawing their swords at her were holding long knives, but their hands were shaking with fear.

    There were far more people snatching the bride, about a hundred or so, all of them big and thick men.  They rode on horses and surrounded the carriage. Those standing nearby were holding sabers, and those in the distance were holding bows and arrows. They looked at the imperial cavalry coming from all directions with vigilant faces.

    "General! We are subjects who have surrendered to the Chinese Empire. Today we are just following the customs of our grassland to snatch the bride. Please forgive me!" At this time, a very powerful and tall knight came to him on horseback.  Yue Yun bowed.

    He naturally saw that Yue Yun was the leader of this large group of imperial cavalry.  And he also knew that the emperor's soldiers naturally abhorred the custom of bride snatching.

    "You have surrendered to our empire? Which tribe are you from?" Yue Yun asked in a deep voice.

    "We are a small tribe belonging to the Kelie tribe" The big man said the name of a tribe that Yue Yun had never heard of. It was expected that it was an unknown small tribe, with most likely only a few dozen households.

    "Oh. Which tribe are you from?" Yue Yun asked, pointing to the wedding team.

    Seeing this, an old man hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and said: "Come back to the general, we are from the Hongji La tribe. The girl wanted to marry to the Mi'erqi tribe, but unexpectedly she was stopped by this group of people!"??

    "Then ask the girl to come out! I'll ask her which way she wants to go. If she doesn't want to marry to the Mi'erqi tribe and is willing to follow this warrior, I won't interfere in the marriage robbery!" Yue  At this moment, Yun glanced at the big man who was snatching the bride and said, "But if this girl is willing to marry to the Mierqi tribe, then you are not allowed to snatch her from her!"

    After hearing this, the big man's eyes immediately showed a look of resentment, but when he saw that there were many soldiers around Yue Yun, and they were all musketeers and cavalry, he knew that he was outmatched.  So he had no choice but to reply: "Since the general has spoken, Tabutai will obey!"

    By this time, the woman who had been robbed had already walked out of the carriage.  As soon as she stepped out of the carriage, the eyes of all the men present lit up.

    What was seen in front of everyone was a stunning girl who was only twenty-eight years old. She was wearing a pink skirt, with black hair hanging on her chest. Under the red dress on her chest, there was a slight graceful curve, full of  It feels clean, youthful and handsome.

    And what she presented to everyone was a face that was extremely beautiful and exquisite. Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her nose was like grease, her lips were like flowers, her charming eyes were like a pair of shining black gems, and her fair and delicate skin  , elastic youthful vitality.

    The scene was quiet, and even Yue Yun felt a little moved.  The skin of this prairie girl is quite white and tender, and it looks like water will flow out when pinched. She does not look like a woman who grew up on the prairie at all, but looks a bit like a beauty from the south of the Yangtze River.

    As we all know, herdsmen on the grasslands generally develop the habit of not bathing very often due to lack of water. Some tribesmen even only bathe twice a year. The dirty smell on their bodies can be imagined. In addition, the grassland is adjacent to the desert.  The terrain is very flat, and windy and sandy weather is naturally common. Therefore, even the women here generally have rough skin. It is rare to see such fair and delicate skin like this girl.
