Jin Chen sighed and said, "I originally thought that Yin Yue, who grew up with me since she was a child, would have the same thoughts as me. But when I came back this time, I suddenly realized-" Jin Chen smiled bitterly and did not continue to say anything.
Li Mu frowned slightly. He keenly discovered the loophole in Jin Chen's words and said, "Are you lying? I have heard people say that you Camel Valley is the head of women, your leader is a woman, and that high priest is also a woman. Why is Yinyue's father the patriarch the leader? Ha, let's reveal it!"
Jin Chen smiled and said, "Marty, our name here is different from that in the Central Plains. Our father is the mother called Zhongyuan."
"Oh." Li Mu asked jokingly, "Where is your 'mother'?"
"No."
"No?" Li Mu was angry and said, "You still expect me to help me with such perfunctory treatment?"
"It really isn't." Jin Chen explained, "We all have only 'father' and no mother. When our tribe is born at an appropriate age, we will go to the bonfire by the Shenquan at night. If we see the person we like," Jin Chen paused for a moment and continued, "...until we are pregnant, so we don't know who 'father' is."
Li Mu was shocked. This custom was so fierce! The so-called free love in later generations was not so free. He subconsciously asked, "Then you..."
Jin Chen stayed in Chang'an for so long, and naturally understood the differences between the customs of the Central Plains and the Yin clan. He could understand what Li Mu meant, and said shamelessly, "I didn't want to have children, why did I go to Shenquan at night, Marquis, are you ridiculing me?"
"I'm not that bored," Li Mu said with a lip voice.
Jin Chen looked down at him, and saw that he didn't say anything again, so he continued his topic, "Marty, you are not curious, why did I try every means to trick you?"
"No curious." Li Mu choked back and said, "I'll reiterate that you not only lied to me, but you kidnapped me again. Together, I won't forgive you, so no matter what you say to me, I won't care."
Jin Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, you hate me so much, how could you help me... But I still want to say, after listening to me, I will let you go."
"Really?" Li Mu said suspiciously, "Will you let me go? I am not a generous person. If you let me go, aren't you afraid of my revenge? Don't look at your place far away from the Tang Dynasty, but if I want to take revenge, it will not be difficult to call tens of thousands of troops to plow this place!"
Jin Chen sighed heavily, "I'm afraid that when the marquis mobilized troops to come, I'm already dead... Gaochang colluded with the Western Turks and wanted to be the vanguard of the Western Turks' eastward advance. Going to Chang'an to meet, it was actually to find out the truth. I brought you here. Your brother mistakenly thought that Gaochang sent us to kidnap you and mobilized Dingxiang's garrison to attack Gaochang City. The ruler of Gaochang State Ju Wentai thought that the matter was exposed and he was determined to completely turn to the Western Turks. The messenger to the Western Turks just passed yesterday. Calculated the schedule, at most, the vanguard of the Western Turks will come."
Li Mu widened his eyes and said, "You are serious about this? So, have you also turned to the Western Turks?"
Jin Chen shook his head and said, "No, at least we, Jin, will not. But it is undeniable that some people in the clan think this way. After all, we are closer to the Western Turks, but too far from Chang'an. The cavalry of the Western Turks is unparalleled in the Western Regions. Our tribesmen are all combined, with less than ten thousand people. How can we resist?"
"According to your opinion, you should be the one who is going to the Western Turks, why are you unwilling to do so?"
"The Turks live by nomadic people and are cruel by nature. Our tribe has few people, and most of them are women. When they are sent to the Western Turks, they have become slaves to the Western Turks? How can the tribe continue?"
Li Mu thought carefully that the Turks respected force, and women without status were like livestock in the Turkic world, and could be traded, and they would never allow a matriarchal tribe to exist among them.
But after thinking about it, it was still wrong, and said, "The Western Turks cannot tolerate you, but the Tang Dynasty can tolerate you? Not exactly, it is true that women are respected and families are not established, which is very different from the customs of the Central Plains!"
"But didn't the emperors of the Central Plains say, 'Since ancient times, they have always valued China and barbarians, and I love them as one'? We will not mess with others, we only seek a place to settle down. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is as broad as the sea, so he should be able to tolerate us, right?"
"—" Li Mu was stunned when he heard this. Now he understood what the saying "Women are made of water". The woman in front of him not only has her body made of water, but her brain is probably also made of water. This kind of words is obviously a scene. Li Shimin is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. How could he love the Turks like the Tang Dynasty? Can you believe it?
However, if it was the current Tang Dynasty, it seemed possible. After all, there were so many people who died in the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and the Central Plains urgently needed population filling. Although there were not many more than 10,000 people, they were also humans. However, no one could accept the rules of this matriarchal clan. But if they were willing to give up and live like people from the Central Plains, Li Shimin should accept them.
On the one hand, the Western Turks did not treat women as humans, and on the other hand, the Tang Dynasty regarded women as humans. Compared with the two, it seems that the Tang Dynasty was better.
Li Mu could understand Jin Chen's thoughts a little. She might not believe in the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. But after seeing the lives of the people in Chang'an City, she was just a move to take the minor rights and interests compared to the customs of the Western Turks.
"So you brought me here, do you want me to take your tribe members to the Tang Dynasty?"
Jin Chen nodded violently and said, "Mr. Marquis, is that okay? I know you are very rich. Our ancestors have managed here and saved a lot of gold, silver and treasures. It should be enough for us to spend money. If you buy a place for us to live, we will definitely not harass anyone and will not cause trouble for you. We are willing to pay any taxes. Is it OK?"
Li Mu secretly curled his lips, would I believe your evil? When I ask for help, I always say it nicely. But when it comes to the real seal, you kidnapped me? But now under the eaves, there is no way. In order to escape from the sky, I should agree first and leave this dungeon and then make a mistake.
Li Mu cleared his throat and said, "This matter needs to be carefully planned and studied. You can't decide it as soon as I say it. Let me go out first."
"Okay!" Jin Chen took out the key from his arms without a doubt, and wanted to open the lock of the skylight, put down the ladder and let Li Mu come out.
Li Mu looked up and waited, clenched his fists, and planned to wait for the ladder to be put down. The moment he climbed up, he punched Jin Chen and then took the opportunity to escape.
