The imperial brother kneels and begs me to marry my daughter-in-law
Chapter 25 Negotiations
"Woo!" Running all the way, Helian Muzhen brought Lin Xiu back to the barbarian tent.The barbarians are a nomadic people.There is no fixed city, wherever you go, where your tents are stationed.This is a life that the Han people cannot accept.
"Come down." Helian Muzhen stretched out his hand to dismount Lin Xiu.
"Thank you." Lin Xiu really had to rely on Helian Muzhen's hand to do it.The horses of the barbarians are much taller than those of the Han people.Not a grade.
Lin Xiu followed Helian Muzhen into her tent.The tent is very spacious and the interior is quite luxurious. Lin Xiu guessed that Helian Muzhen should be a princess or princess or something, so she said: "Miss Helian, can you show me your Khan? I want to meet with you Talk to him."
Helian Muzhen hung his leather whip on the tent, and smiled sarcastically: "Did you not understand your identity? You are now a prisoner, my male favourite, what qualifications do you have if you want to see your father?" "
"I am Zhou Guo's son-in-law. We are going to get married soon, so I can't be your male favourite." Lin Xiu refused.
"I'm afraid it's not up to you." Helian Muzhen stretched out his hand to pick up Lin Xiu's chin with his index finger. Lin Xiu shrank back in resistance, forcing out her double chin.
"I can negotiate with you Khan on behalf of Zhou Guo. The emperor of Zhou Guo trusts me very much, and I can ask Zhou Guo to pay you tribute!" Lin Xiu avoided Helian Muzhen's hand.
"Hey, I thought you had a bit of backbone, why, you revealed your true colors so quickly?"
"It's called those who know the current affairs are heroes. The barbarians are stronger than Zhou Guo, and it's normal for Zhou Guo to pay tribute for peace." Lin Xiu argued.
"Men from the Central Plains are glib. You can't believe it." Helian Muzhen was not interested in listening to Lin Xiu's nonsense.
"Princess, Khan invites you to come over." The servant outside the account reported.
Helian Muzhen went out of the tent and told the guard at the door: "Watch out for the people inside, don't let him run away. Otherwise, you will be questioned."
"Yes!"
"Father, you are looking for me." Helian Muzhen entered the tent, and found that Helian Tao, whom she hated the most, was also there.
Helian Tao (tāo) and Helian Muzhen were not born by the same mother.Helian Muzhen's mother was Da Yan (yānzhī) of the Khan, which is what the Han people call the queen.And Helian Tao's mother was a lowly prisoner.It was captured by Khan from Zhou State, named Feng Qiao.Before that, she was just a peasant woman in Zhou State.
But Khan especially likes Feng Qiao, and she is currently the most favored Yan family.Before Lin Xiu made a plan to ask Zhao Guo to give Khan's Yan family a gift to blow the bedside wind, and it was for this Feng Qiao.At that time, the envoy of Zhao State said that if the emperor of Zhao State was captured, they would pay tribute to the barbarians.At that time, many beauties from the Central Plains will be sent, and her limelight is likely to be robbed at that time.
And if she persuaded Khan to release the Emperor Zhao, Zhao would give her a lot of gold, silver and jewels.Not only will her status not be threatened, but she can also get a lot of money, which can help her son compete for the position of crown prince.So Feng Qiao told Khan that the emperor of Zhao State was besieged, and they would spare no effort to rescue the emperor.There are already 30 troops on the way.
Khan was a little scared when he heard this.He also thought that even if he wins, he will not be able to occupy Zhao's city.Nomads can only attack but not manage cities.Migrating with grass and water is their habit.After thinking about it this way, Khan decided to withdraw his troops, and Emperor Zhao was relieved.
Helian Muzhen also has an older brother, Helianda.Before Feng Qiao gave birth to He Liandao, He Liandao was deeply favored by Khan, and he had a good hope of being established as the crown prince.But everything changed after Helian Tao was born.The mother and daughter have frequently resorted to tricks and constantly sow discord, which has caused Khan to be very dissatisfied with Helianda.
Even his only daughter, Helian Muzhen, he didn't love as much as before.Now in his eyes, there are only Feng Qiao and He Liantao.
"Mu Zhen, why do you have no rules as you grow up, why don't you say hello to your brother standing here?" Khan Helianding saw that Helian Muzhen didn't take Heliantao seriously at all, and was a little unhappy .
"Father, it's okay. I think Mu Zhen just didn't see me." Helianda seemed to be speaking for Mu Zhen, but such a poor excuse only added fuel to the fire.
Sure enough, Helian Ding became even more angry: "Can't see it? How can such a big living person not see it. I think you just have a problem with your brother!"
Helian Muzhen stood where he was, letting Helianda pretend to be a good person, or Helianding accusing her.indifferent.
Helian Ding was so angry that he didn't want to continue this topic, "I heard that you took someone to Taoxiang last night. Why did you die?" Helianda came to ask Helian Ding Muzhen early in the morning if he was back and if he was injured.He said that he heard from his servants that Mu Zhen led people to rob, but several people died.It seems that they care about Mu Zhen, but in fact they are just making small reports.
"A few foreigners came to Taoxiang, with high martial arts skills. My subordinates didn't take precautions, and a few were killed." Helian Muzhen replied.
"Do you know who it is?"
"do not know."
"I heard that Mu Zhen came back to kidnap a man. You should know if you ask. My subordinates said that a little girl was originally kidnapped, and he could come back to be A Jin's playmate. Later, Mu Zhen released the little girl and took him with him. Come back a handsome man."
He Lianjin is Mu Zhen's younger brother, seven years old.In addition to competing with He Lianda, He Liantao also had to compete with the little prince He Lianjin.So if there is a Han girl who can please the little prince, then they only need to control the little girl.
In the Manrong Kingdom, except for Helian Ding, no one wants to spend more time with Feng Qiao's mother and son.The barbarians look down on the Han people, and even less on villains like He Liantao.Therefore, it is very difficult for the mother and son to bribe the people from the Da Yan family.
"Is there such a thing?" Helian Ding asked unhappily.
"Yes. It's because the man said that he is Zhou Guo's son-in-law, that he can negotiate with the father on behalf of Zhou Guo, and that he can let Zhou Guo pay tribute to us Hu Guo (man Rong calls himself Hu), so I brought him back." In fact, Mu Zhen brought Lin Xiu back just to catch up.
At that time, she didn't think that Lin Xiu would dare to replace the hostages in person.So deliberately provoke him to want to see a joke.Unexpectedly, Lin Xiu did not hesitate.Then she couldn't count her words, so she brought Lin Xiu back.It's not all a joke to talk about being a male favorite.The barbarians are open and have weak ethical concepts. Having a male favorite is nothing to Mu Zhen.
But now in front of her father, especially with Helian Tao on the side to sow discord, she can't go too far.So he used what Lin Xiu told her as a shield.
"Consort Zhou?" He Lianding didn't understand how the Consort Zhou would go to Taoxiang.
"Why don't you bring me here and ask?" He Liantao suggested.He didn't believe that there would be any concubine of the state of Zhou appearing in Taoxiang. It was probably an excuse made by Mu Zhen, who wanted to expose Mu Zhen.
"Well, that's fine, go and bring that Han man here." Helian Ding ordered his subordinates.
Soon, Lin Xiu was brought.It was pushed in by the barbarians.She was so thin that she almost lost her footing and fell.Fortunately, Helian Muzhen gave her a hand to stabilize her.
"Hahaha, this is the man from the Central Plains! He has no strength to restrain a chicken, and is as delicate as a mother-in-law!" Seeing Lin Xiu's embarrassment, He Lianding laughed endlessly, "You say you are Zhou's son-in-law?" He Lian Certainly not able to speak Chinese, He Liantao was on the sidelines to translate for him simultaneously.
"Exactly."
"What evidence do you have?" Helian Tao asked himself.
"I have documents with me." Lin Xiu took out the documents that Xiao Shu'an had prepared for her.Her name and identity were written on the document, but her identity was naturally not written as a son-in-law, because she hadn't married Xiao Shu'an yet, but there was an identity certificate for her as an envoy.
"Lin Xiu?" When He Liantao saw this name, he thought of the Lin Xiu who offered advice on the siege of Mount Ai, but he didn't know if this Lin Xiu was the Lin Xiu he thought of.
Lin Xiu could see what he was thinking, and said affirmatively, "Exactly, Lin Xiu from Zhao State. It's just that I'm Zhou State's son-in-law now, and I'll get married next month."
He Liantao translated all this to He Lianding, but he didn't mention Lin Xiu's advice on the siege of the Ai Mountain.And Helian Ding didn't even know this happened.Man Rong is located in a remote place and has no communication with the Central Plains. He still doesn't know that he was deceived by Feng Qiao.
"But your document only says that you are an envoy, but it doesn't say that you are a son-in-law." He Liantao questioned.
"It's enough to be an envoy, my ability. Don't you know Mr. Helian? Now that I am assisting Zhou Guo, I can still get the paperwork to be an envoy. Do you think the emperor of Zhou Guo trusts me? To be honest, When I came to Taoxiang this time, I came to form an alliance with the Hu country. I just didn’t expect that I would be taken captive before I arrived.”
There were several threats in Lin Xiu's words.A sternness flashed in Helian Tao's eyes.Lin Xiu was implying to him that if he made things difficult for Lin Xiu here, Lin Xiu would expose their mother and son's lies.
Although Helian Tao is confident that he and his mother can still argue, nothing serious will happen.Lin Xiu is an outsider with nothing to prove, Helian Ding still trusts him and his mother more no matter what.But if the seeds of doubt are planted, then he is likely to bid farewell to the crown prince.Originally, he had one-half of Han blood.He dared not act rashly.
He Liantao turned around and whispered to He Lianding.
"Oh? So he is really Zhou Guo's son-in-law? Can he negotiate on behalf of Zhou Guo?"
"It should be possible. If the father is worried, you can send someone to send him back after the negotiation. If he dares to play tricks, kill him. He doesn't dare to play any tricks." He Liantao suggested.
"Well, what you said makes sense. Then let him talk about how and why Zhou Guo plans to pay us tribute?" Helian Ding sat comfortably on his throne, waiting to enjoy the benefits of being a Khan. Honor.
"Does Khan know that Zhao Guo is attacking Zhou Guo?" Lin Xiu asked.
"I know, why, your country of Zhou is about to perish? Are you here to ask for help? Hahahaha!" Helian must have thought that Lin Xiu came to ask him for help pitifully.
"It was true that the country was about to perish, and it was really possible to come to Khan to ask for help. However, Zheng Guochu was one step ahead and sent troops to aid Zhou."
"Has Zheng Chuzhou formed an alliance?" He Lianding was a little unconvinced.
"Exactly, Khan thinks about it. Without the support of Zheng and Chu, Zhou should have perished, but so far there has been no result. It's just because of Zheng Chu's alliance, Zhao didn't dare to fight." Lin Xiuman Slowly give Helian an analysis.
"Even if that's what you said, what does it have to do with our country Hu?"
"Khan still remembers that Zhao State attacked Hu State not long ago. It's a pity that Khan, you are brave and powerful, and besieged Emperor Zhao State in Mount Ai. In the end, you were magnanimous and let him go. But Zhao Cong didn't know how to be grateful. You He said that if he failed to attack Zhou State this time, would he attack Hu State again?" Lin Xiu said with emotion.
"Will he come to fight Hu Guo again? He failed last time, so I dare not come." Helian Ding replied confidently.
"I didn't dare to come at first. But Zhao Cong is old, and he has a very strong desire to expand his territory before he abdicates. As far as I know, Zhao Cong will not let it go. If he wins Zhou Guo this time, , then he will use the state of Zhou as a base and attack the state of Hu. If it is not successful, he will turn around and attack the state of Hu due to the Zheng Chuzhou alliance. The failure last time does not mean that he will fail this time. This time, he There will definitely be someone who will come prepared and make all the preparations. It’s really hard to say who will win and who will lose.” Lin Xiu looked very worried.
"Hmph! Come if you want to fight! How can I, Helian Ding, be afraid that he will fail! I am defeated!" Helian slapped the table angrily.
"I know Khan, you are not afraid. But are you willing to let Zhao Guo do whatever he wants? He can fight wherever he wants. There is no such reason in the world! Khan, you are not angry! I am angry for you!"
"Hmph! Then what do you think?" Helian Dingqi's beard was raised.
"If you want me to say it, it's better to form an alliance with Hu Guo and Zhou Guo!"
Before He Liantao translated the words, He Lianding burst out laughing.
"Alliance! Zhou Guo deserves to form an alliance with Hu Guo, you just want to use Hu Guo as a backer!"
"Khan, you really didn't give me face, and you exposed me right away. Indeed, we want to use you as a backer. This is not because Hu State is too powerful. Only Hu State can protect Zhou State. But if we form an alliance with Zhou State, we will not let Hu State The country suffers."
"Oh? How can I not suffer?"
"Hu State sends many troops to harass Zhou State's borders every year. They plunder food and products. Sometimes doing this may not yield much, and it takes time and effort. Why don't we take the initiative of Zhou State to save Hu State soldiers? What’s more, what we offer on our own initiative must be more than what the soldiers snatched, and there are more types. You must know that the frontiers of Zhou State are relatively poor, and there are many things in the interior that the soldiers can’t grab.” Lin Xiu offered conditions to lure Khan.
"Are you willing to pay tribute?" Khan asked.
"Khan, it's an alliance. It's just a gift from our alliance." Lin Xiu didn't want to admit that it was a tribute.
"Hey, you Han people know how to play word games. The essence is not paying tribute! It's so nice to say, giving gifts! It's hypocrisy!" Khan pointedly exposed Lin Xiu.
Lin Xiu didn't panic at all: "Khan, there's no way, Zhou Guo also wants to save face. Give us some dignity. As long as you get real benefits, you don't need to care about these, right?"
"Hmph." Khan looked dismissive, but in fact he was very excited.Unlike the Han people, the nomads do not have farming and basically eat meat as their staple food.Usually drink cow's milk.Although some people will grow a small amount of highland barley, it cannot be compared with the inland farming society.
And there is no fruit here either.Supplies are very scarce.They can only obtain food and other supplies by constantly plundering.If there is a country that is willing to offer it, that would be the best.
"What are you willing to give?"
"We can donate cotton, grain, wine, and silk!" Lin Xiu listed some special products of Zhou State.
"Then what are your conditions?"
After saying this, Lin Xiu knew that the matter was half done.Hurry back: "There is only one condition for our state of Zhou. I hope that the state of Hu can communicate peacefully with the state of Zhou, and we will never see each other. Soldiers of the state of Hu can no longer invade our border." Lin Xiu said the last few words very firmly.
"What if it's violated?" Helian Ding asked with a half-smile.
"Then our soldiers and people of the state of Zhou will fight until the last soldier. Although the state of Zhou is weak, its integrity is not short! At that time, all you will get are ruins and empty cities. There are no supplies. But with the habits of the people of Hu state, It may not be able to bear the settled life. But Zhao State is different. They captured Zhou State. There will be more land resources and product resources. They will multiply the population there and cultivate the land. They will become Stronger! At that time, no one is his opponent! Including Hu Guo!"
Lin Xiu finished speaking, accompanied by simultaneous translation by He Liantao.There was silence in the tent.He Lianding stared at Lin Xiu with neither angry nor arrogant eyes, and Lin Xiu did not show any weakness at all, and looked at each other neither humble nor overbearing.
a long time!
"Hahahahaha!" Helian Ding's angry laughter resounded throughout the tent.Lin Xiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.She thought that Helian was going to get angry and behead her.Fortunately, she held on.
"Good eloquence!" He Lianding praised: "I have to admit that what you said is somewhat reasonable. I agree to the conditions you said. From now on, I, Hu State, will not invade Zhou State again."
"Khan, I have another unfeeling favor." Lin Xiu looked a little embarrassed.
"Say it! Don't be a big man!" Helian Ding couldn't understand the red tape of the Central Plains people the most!
"Since it is an alliance, there must be exchanges. Otherwise, people in the world will laugh at me, Zhou Guo?"
"What do you want?" Helian Ding heard Lin Xiu's dissatisfaction, and his eyes gradually became sharper.
"Khan, don't get me wrong. It's like this. I heard that there are a lot of horses in Hu State. The grass on the grassland is often not enough to eat. In fact, we also have a lot of grasslands in Zhou State, and the grassland is rich. If we help you feed some horses, you How do you feel?" Lin Xiu asked tentatively.
"You help us feed the horses?"
"That's right. Just pretending to save face! You know, people from the Central Plains are very hypocritical! If I go back and let Zhou's ministers know that I signed such an embarrassing treaty, I will die. If Zhou can Help feed some horses, so that they can brag to other countries that Hu Guo gave us a gift. They may spare my life! But in fact, we just help feed the horses." Lin Xiu made a very flattering look.
"Hmph, how do I know if you guys will steal all my horses! What if you can't get them back!" He Lianding was not stupid.
"How dare we! The state of Zhou is about to perish, so how dare we provoke any country? Besides, we don't send horses far away. How about raising them in the pasture in Chongnan? It is very close to the border of the state of Hu. Hu Guo can get horses whenever he wants them. Besides, we don’t raise many horses, so we can just send a few hundred horses for us to show off. This way I can do business, right?”
Helian Ding didn't speak for a while.In fact, he felt that what Lin Xiu said was very reasonable.There are many horses, cattle and sheep in Hu country, the pastures are consumed very quickly, and they often have to move places to find water sources and new pastures.If someone could help with some horses, it would relieve their stress a little.
But Lin Xiu's plan was the genes of the barbarian horses.Manrong's horse is tall and big, and it runs fast.This difference is like the genes of black people and yellow people.Inherently there is a gap.The so-called bloody horses also came from barbarians.There are no such varieties in the Mainland.She had no intention of stealing the sent horse.She was thinking of breeding.Use barbarian horses to improve the genes of Zhou's horses.In the era of cold weapons, a good BMW can be said to win half of the hard power!
"Since Zhou Guo is willing to offer your special products, it's okay for us to send hundreds of horses for you to raise to save face. However, I have to send our people to instruct you to raise them. You Han people don't know how to raise horses. No way." Helian Ding said.
"Okay. Khan is very thoughtful. Then, this matter is settled?"
"Well, I will ask Mu Zhen to send you back to Ganzhou to sign the contract. I hope you Zhou will keep your promise."
"Don't worry, Khan, I will. Then can I start now? I'm going to marry Princess Zhou on the fifth day of next month, and I'm afraid I won't be able to make it too late." Lin Xiu didn't want to stay in Man Rong for a minute.
"Hahahaha! What's the hurry! Now that we have formed an alliance, you are my good friend. There is no reason to leave without eating when a friend comes. Mu Zhen, go and arrange it. Call the princes and ministers together. Let's have fun together, Huh? Hahahahaha!" He Lianding patted Lin Xiu's shoulder forcefully, forcing her to sit down and wait for the banquet to start, Lin Xiu could only helplessly laugh.
Kunshan.
Lin Zhong had already returned with Xiao Shuan and Rufeng.They were too embarrassed to stay longer when they sent Xiaowen back to the village chief's house.After all, they have caused a lot of trouble to others.Moreover, Lin Zhong wanted to send the two of them back to Ganzhou as soon as possible. This was something Lin Xiu asked him to do, and he would handle it well.
Then he prepared to return to Taoxiang and wait for Lin Xiu.If Lin Xiu doesn't show up before the fifth day of the next month, he will go to Manrong to ask for someone!
The atmosphere along the way was very dull.The atmosphere between Lin Zhong and Xiao Shu'an was very tense.In fact, it was just Xiao Shuan's unilateral cold war, and Lin Zhong didn't feel it.Except for Lin Xiu, he never cared about other people's opinions.And Xiao Shu'an was always angry with Lin Zhong for stopping him from letting Lin Xiu go.
In this way, several people returned to Ganzhou in a low voice.There were only three days before the big wedding, and there was no news of Lin Xiu at all.Xiao Shu'an couldn't tell what he felt in his heart.
The news has spread throughout the city.The princess is getting married, to an unknown boy!I heard that His Majesty directly made that kid a Ting Wei!It's really a step up to the sky!
But they are going to get married soon, and everyone has not seen the groom yet.The matchmaker didn't even know the size for wedding clothes, so Xiao Shu'an reported a size based on his own estimate.
Xiao Jingong was also running back and forth anxiously in Jingming Palace.Seeing that the day of getting married is coming, why go out to investigate and lose people, and now I don't know whether it is dead or alive!Wanting to ask Xiao Shu'an what was going on, looking at her murderous face, he swallowed the words again.
I can't ask anything.They didn't have any information channels in the barbarians, so they were all caught blind.All we can do now is wait.
Wait for the groom to come back as promised, or wait for the royal family of Zhou to make the biggest joke—the princess gets married without a groom!

"Lin Xiu?" When He Liantao saw this name, he thought of the Lin Xiu who offered advice on the siege of Mount Ai, but he didn't know if this Lin Xiu was the Lin Xiu he thought of.
Lin Xiu could see what he was thinking, and said affirmatively, "Exactly, Lin Xiu from Zhao State. It's just that I'm Zhou State's son-in-law now, and I'll get married next month."
He Liantao translated all this to He Lianding, but he didn't mention Lin Xiu's advice on the siege of the Ai Mountain.And Helian Ding didn't even know this happened.Man Rong is located in a remote place and has no communication with the Central Plains. He still doesn't know that he was deceived by Feng Qiao.
"But your document only says that you are an envoy, but it doesn't say that you are a son-in-law." He Liantao questioned.
"It's enough to be an envoy, my ability. Don't you know Mr. Helian? Now that I am assisting Zhou Guo, I can still get the paperwork to be an envoy. Do you think the emperor of Zhou Guo trusts me? To be honest, When I came to Taoxiang this time, I came to form an alliance with the Hu country. I just didn’t expect that I would be taken captive before I arrived.”
There were several threats in Lin Xiu's words.A sternness flashed in Helian Tao's eyes.Lin Xiu was implying to him that if he made things difficult for Lin Xiu here, Lin Xiu would expose their mother and son's lies.
Although Helian Tao is confident that he and his mother can still argue, nothing serious will happen.Lin Xiu is an outsider with nothing to prove, Helian Ding still trusts him and his mother more no matter what.But if the seeds of doubt are planted, then he is likely to bid farewell to the crown prince.Originally, he had one-half of Han blood.He dared not act rashly.
He Liantao turned around and whispered to He Lianding.
"Oh? So he is really Zhou Guo's son-in-law? Can he negotiate on behalf of Zhou Guo?"
"It should be possible. If the father is worried, you can send someone to send him back after the negotiation. If he dares to play tricks, kill him. He doesn't dare to play any tricks." He Liantao suggested.
"Well, what you said makes sense. Then let him talk about how and why Zhou Guo plans to pay us tribute?" Helian Ding sat comfortably on his throne, waiting to enjoy the benefits of being a Khan. Honor.
"Does Khan know that Zhao Guo is attacking Zhou Guo?" Lin Xiu asked.
"I know, why, your country of Zhou is about to perish? Are you here to ask for help? Hahahaha!" Helian must have thought that Lin Xiu came to ask him for help pitifully.
"It was true that the country was about to perish, and it was really possible to come to Khan to ask for help. However, Zheng Guochu was one step ahead and sent troops to aid Zhou."
"Has Zheng Chuzhou formed an alliance?" He Lianding was a little unconvinced.
"Exactly, Khan thinks about it. Without the support of Zheng and Chu, Zhou should have perished, but so far there has been no result. It's just because of Zheng Chu's alliance, Zhao didn't dare to fight." Lin Xiuman Slowly give Helian an analysis.
"Even if that's what you said, what does it have to do with our country Hu?"
"Khan still remembers that Zhao State attacked Hu State not long ago. It's a pity that Khan, you are brave and powerful, and besieged Emperor Zhao State in Mount Ai. In the end, you were magnanimous and let him go. But Zhao Cong didn't know how to be grateful. You He said that if he failed to attack Zhou State this time, would he attack Hu State again?" Lin Xiu said with emotion.
"Will he come to fight Hu Guo again? He failed last time, so I dare not come." Helian Ding replied confidently.
"I didn't dare to come at first. But Zhao Cong is old, and he has a very strong desire to expand his territory before he abdicates. As far as I know, Zhao Cong will not let it go. If he wins Zhou Guo this time, , then he will use the state of Zhou as a base and attack the state of Hu. If it is not successful, he will turn around and attack the state of Hu due to the Zheng Chuzhou alliance. The failure last time does not mean that he will fail this time. This time, he There will definitely be someone who will come prepared and make all the preparations. It’s really hard to say who will win and who will lose.” Lin Xiu looked very worried.
"Hmph! Come if you want to fight! How can I, Helian Ding, be afraid that he will fail! I am defeated!" Helian slapped the table angrily.
"I know Khan, you are not afraid. But are you willing to let Zhao Guo do whatever he wants? He can fight wherever he wants. There is no such reason in the world! Khan, you are not angry! I am angry for you!"
"Hmph! Then what do you think?" Helian Dingqi's beard was raised.
"If you want me to say it, it's better to form an alliance with Hu Guo and Zhou Guo!"
Before He Liantao translated the words, He Lianding burst out laughing.
"Alliance! Zhou Guo deserves to form an alliance with Hu Guo, you just want to use Hu Guo as a backer!"
"Khan, you really didn't give me face, and you exposed me right away. Indeed, we want to use you as a backer. This is not because Hu State is too powerful. Only Hu State can protect Zhou State. But if we form an alliance with Zhou State, we will not let Hu State The country suffers."
"Oh? How can I not suffer?"
"Hu State sends many troops to harass Zhou State's borders every year. They plunder food and products. Sometimes doing this may not yield much, and it takes time and effort. Why don't we take the initiative of Zhou State to save Hu State soldiers? What’s more, what we offer on our own initiative must be more than what the soldiers snatched, and there are more types. You must know that the frontiers of Zhou State are relatively poor, and there are many things in the interior that the soldiers can’t grab.” Lin Xiu offered conditions to lure Khan.
"Are you willing to pay tribute?" Khan asked.
"Khan, it's an alliance. It's just a gift from our alliance." Lin Xiu didn't want to admit that it was a tribute.
"Hey, you Han people know how to play word games. The essence is not paying tribute! It's so nice to say, giving gifts! It's hypocrisy!" Khan pointedly exposed Lin Xiu.
Lin Xiu didn't panic at all: "Khan, there's no way, Zhou Guo also wants to save face. Give us some dignity. As long as you get real benefits, you don't need to care about these, right?"
"Hmph." Khan looked dismissive, but in fact he was very excited.Unlike the Han people, the nomads do not have farming and basically eat meat as their staple food.Usually drink cow's milk.Although some people will grow a small amount of highland barley, it cannot be compared with the inland farming society.
And there is no fruit here either.Supplies are very scarce.They can only obtain food and other supplies by constantly plundering.If there is a country that is willing to offer it, that would be the best.
"What are you willing to give?"
"We can donate cotton, grain, wine, and silk!" Lin Xiu listed some special products of Zhou State.
"Then what are your conditions?"
After saying this, Lin Xiu knew that the matter was half done.Hurry back: "There is only one condition for our state of Zhou. I hope that the state of Hu can communicate peacefully with the state of Zhou, and we will never see each other. Soldiers of the state of Hu can no longer invade our border." Lin Xiu said the last few words very firmly.
"What if it's violated?" Helian Ding asked with a half-smile.
"Then our soldiers and people of the state of Zhou will fight until the last soldier. Although the state of Zhou is weak, its integrity is not short! At that time, all you will get are ruins and empty cities. There are no supplies. But with the habits of the people of Hu state, It may not be able to bear the settled life. But Zhao State is different. They captured Zhou State. There will be more land resources and product resources. They will multiply the population there and cultivate the land. They will become Stronger! At that time, no one is his opponent! Including Hu Guo!"
Lin Xiu finished speaking, accompanied by simultaneous translation by He Liantao.There was silence in the tent.He Lianding stared at Lin Xiu with neither angry nor arrogant eyes, and Lin Xiu did not show any weakness at all, and looked at each other neither humble nor overbearing.
a long time!
"Hahahahaha!" Helian Ding's angry laughter resounded throughout the tent.Lin Xiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.She thought that Helian was going to get angry and behead her.Fortunately, she held on.
"Good eloquence!" He Lianding praised: "I have to admit that what you said is somewhat reasonable. I agree to the conditions you said. From now on, I, Hu State, will not invade Zhou State again."
"Khan, I have another unfeeling favor." Lin Xiu looked a little embarrassed.
"Say it! Don't be a big man!" Helian Ding couldn't understand the red tape of the Central Plains people the most!
"Since it is an alliance, there must be exchanges. Otherwise, people in the world will laugh at me, Zhou Guo?"
"What do you want?" Helian Ding heard Lin Xiu's dissatisfaction, and his eyes gradually became sharper.
"Khan, don't get me wrong. It's like this. I heard that there are a lot of horses in Hu State. The grass on the grassland is often not enough to eat. In fact, we also have a lot of grasslands in Zhou State, and the grassland is rich. If we help you feed some horses, you How do you feel?" Lin Xiu asked tentatively.
"You help us feed the horses?"
"That's right. Just pretending to save face! You know, people from the Central Plains are very hypocritical! If I go back and let Zhou's ministers know that I signed such an embarrassing treaty, I will die. If Zhou can Help feed some horses, so that they can brag to other countries that Hu Guo gave us a gift. They may spare my life! But in fact, we just help feed the horses." Lin Xiu made a very flattering look.
"Hmph, how do I know if you guys will steal all my horses! What if you can't get them back!" He Lianding was not stupid.
"How dare we! The state of Zhou is about to perish, so how dare we provoke any country? Besides, we don't send horses far away. How about raising them in the pasture in Chongnan? It is very close to the border of the state of Hu. Hu Guo can get horses whenever he wants them. Besides, we don’t raise many horses, so we can just send a few hundred horses for us to show off. This way I can do business, right?”
Helian Ding didn't speak for a while.In fact, he felt that what Lin Xiu said was very reasonable.There are many horses, cattle and sheep in Hu country, the pastures are consumed very quickly, and they often have to move places to find water sources and new pastures.If someone could help with some horses, it would relieve their stress a little.
But Lin Xiu's plan was the genes of the barbarian horses.Manrong's horse is tall and big, and it runs fast.This difference is like the genes of black people and yellow people.Inherently there is a gap.The so-called bloody horses also came from barbarians.There are no such varieties in the Mainland.She had no intention of stealing the sent horse.She was thinking of breeding.Use barbarian horses to improve the genes of Zhou's horses.In the era of cold weapons, a good BMW can be said to win half of the hard power!
"Since Zhou Guo is willing to offer your special products, it's okay for us to send hundreds of horses for you to raise to save face. However, I have to send our people to instruct you to raise them. You Han people don't know how to raise horses. No way." Helian Ding said.
"Okay. Khan is very thoughtful. Then, this matter is settled?"
"Well, I will ask Mu Zhen to send you back to Ganzhou to sign the contract. I hope you Zhou will keep your promise."
"Don't worry, Khan, I will. Then can I start now? I'm going to marry Princess Zhou on the fifth day of next month, and I'm afraid I won't be able to make it too late." Lin Xiu didn't want to stay in Man Rong for a minute.
"Hahahaha! What's the hurry! Now that we have formed an alliance, you are my good friend. There is no reason to leave without eating when a friend comes. Mu Zhen, go and arrange it. Call the princes and ministers together. Let's have fun together, Huh? Hahahahaha!" He Lianding patted Lin Xiu's shoulder forcefully, forcing her to sit down and wait for the banquet to start, Lin Xiu could only helplessly laugh.
Kunshan.
Lin Zhong had already returned with Xiao Shuan and Rufeng.They were too embarrassed to stay longer when they sent Xiaowen back to the village chief's house.After all, they have caused a lot of trouble to others.Moreover, Lin Zhong wanted to send the two of them back to Ganzhou as soon as possible. This was something Lin Xiu asked him to do, and he would handle it well.
Then he prepared to return to Taoxiang and wait for Lin Xiu.If Lin Xiu doesn't show up before the fifth day of the next month, he will go to Manrong to ask for someone!
The atmosphere along the way was very dull.The atmosphere between Lin Zhong and Xiao Shu'an was very tense.In fact, it was just Xiao Shuan's unilateral cold war, and Lin Zhong didn't feel it.Except for Lin Xiu, he never cared about other people's opinions.And Xiao Shu'an was always angry with Lin Zhong for stopping him from letting Lin Xiu go.
In this way, several people returned to Ganzhou in a low voice.There were only three days before the big wedding, and there was no news of Lin Xiu at all.Xiao Shu'an couldn't tell what he felt in his heart.
The news has spread throughout the city.The princess is getting married, to an unknown boy!I heard that His Majesty directly made that kid a Ting Wei!It's really a step up to the sky!
But they are going to get married soon, and everyone has not seen the groom yet.The matchmaker didn't even know the size for wedding clothes, so Xiao Shu'an reported a size based on his own estimate.
Xiao Jingong was also running back and forth anxiously in Jingming Palace.Seeing that the day of getting married is coming, why go out to investigate and lose people, and now I don't know whether it is dead or alive!Wanting to ask Xiao Shu'an what was going on, looking at her murderous face, he swallowed the words again.
I can't ask anything.They didn't have any information channels in the barbarians, so they were all caught blind.All we can do now is wait.
Wait for the groom to come back as promised, or wait for the royal family of Zhou to make the biggest joke—the princess gets married without a groom!
