Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 192 Snow Top Silver Shuttle
"The merchant Wu Shiluo came to see the Xiongnu Chanyu and offered him a hundred pieces of silk in exchange for a hundred pieces of gold!"

Wu Zhiluo stepped into the tent slowly, with a faint smile on his face, and said in a calm tone.

Mao Dun was sitting in the center of the tent, with the envoys on his left and right facing Mao Dun from afar. In Mo Dun's arms lay a delicate and unruly woman.

Seeing Wu Shiluo entering the camp, Mao Dun waved his hands slightly, reluctantly letting go of the delicate woman, with a wicked smile on his mouth.

Chen Ping looked dignified.

A woman will lower a man's wisdom. In the past, this spoiled wife was always by his side in the transaction, and today she was suddenly sent away. Isn't it a sign of the seriousness of the situation?
After watching the woman leave, Mao Dun's smile instantly subsided, replaced by his solemn eyes and a stiff expression.

The quiet tent was eerie.

Mao Dun caught a glimpse of Chen Ping's frowning, and asked about his identity, Wu Shiluo said slowly: "The elder Wu Shixiang is critically ill and cannot drag his old body to meet Shan Yu, so he sent his son Wu Shiping here .”

After meditating for a long time, Mao Dun ignored Chen Ping, opened his mouth slowly, and said with a smile: "Come here, how can you neglect the Daqin caravan? Hurry up and give me a seat!"

Several attendants bowed their knees and nodded, pulled the three of them to sit down, and fell onto the snow-covered silver shuttle of the Hu tribe in the north.

The aroma of tea is overflowing, and everyone in the room is immersed in the joy of tea fragrance.

Taking a sip, the hot and spicy taste kept stimulating Chen Ping's tongue.

Chen Ping couldn't figure out Maodun's routine for a while, the three of them looked at each other in blank dismay, and could only cooperate with Shan Yu to sit down and drink tea.

"This is the famous Xueding Yinsuo tea that is abundant in the grassland!" Mao Dun said politely, and then he tasted it, the tea reverberated in the corner of his mouth.

After Ling's translation, Wu Shiluo and Chen Ping slightly cupped their hands and saluted Mao Dun to express their gratitude.

Immediately, Mao Dun put down the wine glass slowly, and said solemnly: "This tea is originally produced in the Central Plains, and it was introduced to the Hetao Grassland by Prince Yan, so the Xiongnu had the opportunity to taste it!"

"As soon as it was promoted, the Snow-topped Silver Shuttle became very popular among the Xiongnu people, and the people talked about it for a while."

"Unfortunately, a few years ago, the Xiongnu moved north, and tea was no longer suitable for the Helan Mountain grasslands. It gradually faded into the secular world and became the most precious famous tea!"

Immediately, Mao Dun's face darkened, his face was gloomy and cute, he wished to smash the wine glass with his fist, and said viciously: "The extinction of famous tea is all thanks to Da Qin!"

After hearing what Mao Dun said, Wu Shiluo and Ling's expressions became tense.

After the translation was completed, Chen Ping felt a chill down his spine.

A few years ago, Meng Tian personally led an army of 30 tigers and wolves to conquer the Huns in the north, and defeated the Huns for [-] rains, so that the Hu people did not dare to go south to herd horses.

At that time, Touman wanted to regain the lost territory for several days, but he was so angry that he could not fight against the capable Qin soldiers throughout his life.

Now that I am bringing up old things again, I must want to advance into the Central Plains, and I will guide you.

Chen Ping was sitting on pins and needles, and Wu Shiluo said slowly: "Mao Dun should not misunderstand, everything boils down to the fact that the Xiongnu harassed the Central Plains time and time again, and His Majesty had to send elite soldiers to fight against it!"

Wu Shiluo's words hit the point, if the Xiongnu hadn't offended the online, how could Daqin have taken the initiative to invade?

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period for more than [-] years, the vassal states of the Central Plains were intertwined. They fought each other for land, people, and money.
After Qin Wangzheng unified the world, he was freed to deal with the Xiongnu.

Just when Ling was about to translate, he was suddenly interrupted by Chen Ping. Chen Ping coughed lightly and said slowly: "Snow-top Silver Shuttle is also a famous tea in the Central Plains!"

"If Shan Yu likes it, we can bring it from the Central Plains and dedicate it to Shan Yu!"

After finishing the translation, he snorted coldly, his eyes were about to burst, and his eyes were bloodshot.

This contempt was to tell Chen Ping again that I want the Hetao Grassland, not the tea from the Central Plains.

But he couldn't speak directly to his face, so he could only slowly say: "Central Plains tea is bitter, how do you drink this kind of tea?"

After all, the corners of the battalion commander's subordinates gradually became unrestrained, gradually laughed, and rolled their eyes at Chen Ping and others.

Chen Ping could probably infer the meaning from the words, and without waiting for zero translation, Chen Ping continued: "Tea was originally produced in a remote corner of Bashu in the Central Plains. His Majesty discovered the value, and it was able to spread throughout the country and benefit the people!"

"Although the tea leaves are bitter, there is a hint of sweetness that reverberates on the tip of the tongue after the entrance."

"Therefore, tea in the Central Plains has the meaning of suffering and reward, but the tea that is abundant in the Xiongnu has lost the original flavor of tea!"

As soon as he heard "suffering and suffering come", Modu became interested. This is the first time he has heard of this kind of saying.

But Chen Ping was still relentless, and added: "When all hardships come, the sweetness comes after the bitterness. The Touman Chongniyan family intends to abandon the elders and establish the younger ones, so you have to bear the humiliation and bear the burden, and suffer from the suffering of the world."

"One year later, Mingdi killed his father and was able to succeed to the throne as the new Shanyu. Isn't this the end of all hardships?"

Ling was too frightened to translate, and if he sprinkled salt on Maodu's wound, wouldn't it anger Maodu even more?
But Chen Ping is very clear that only ignorance and incompetence can cause fury.

Of course Mo Dun is not that kind of person.

Zero could only endure the fear in his heart and translate the words tactfully.

Sure enough, Mao Dun was not furious because of this, and arrested them ruthlessly.

But from the cold expressions of the surrounding soldiers, one could tell that these words touched Mao Dun's tense nerves.

Immediately, Mao Dun looked contemptuous and slowly said: "The King of Qin poisoned Zhong's father and framed his own brother. He also meant that all the hardships would be rewarded!"

Using his own way to treat his own body, this is Mao Dun's performance.

Chen Ping chuckled lightly and explained: "My father, Lu Buwei, has great achievements, and my brother Cheng Jiao is spying on the throne. If we don't kill them, how can we show His Majesty's majesty?"

"On the contrary, Touman's kindness to you is as great as a mountain. He handed over [-] cavalry to you, and asked you to lead the cavalry to fight in the north and south. Why did you kill him?"

Zero was so frightened that his legs became weak, and he almost knelt on the ground. When this sentence was translated, it was really a dead end.

But Chen Ping still ignored Wu Shiluo's objection and insisted on letting Ling translate.

After the translation, Mao Dun sneered coldly: "Isn't it the heinous crime he committed to exile me as a proton, intending to abolish the elders and establish the younger ones? I killed her to vent my revenge."

Mao Dun said this without any hesitation, as if killing his father was just a trivial matter to him, it made the people around him horrified, even the wise kings left and right were shocked by it.

Chen Ping wanted to speak, but Wu Shiluo stepped forward to break the deadlock and said slowly: "Modun, don't be angry. Chen Ping is just arguing for His Majesty and has no intention of provoking. At the moment, we still discuss the deal. Bar!"

"Deal?" Mao Dun slapped the wooden case, his eyes burst into murderous intent, and he said coldly: "You came to the Huns' territory to spy on the military situation, and you go back and report the news to the government, do you think I will let you go?"

Immediately, Mao Dun stood up suddenly, with cold eyes, he reprimanded sharply: "Come here! Capture them all!"

In an instant, more than a dozen Huns soldiers with tiger heads and leopard faces poured in outside the battalion commander. Their faces were ferocious, as if they were cannibals.
