Chapter 769: Arrogance
As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw several people coming, and at the head was a tall, burly and sturdy man, with a swarthy face, the top of his head was shaved, and his hair was combed into pigtails around him, hanging down on his shoulders, a tiger skin, tied diagonally, the right arm* was exposed, and the sleeves were tied around his waist, and he carried a scimitar, and the scabbard was inlaid with precious pearls. Agate and gemstones, a pair of meniscus boots under his feet, golden yellow, also inlaid with gems, walking on the ground, it looks very extraordinary, a pair of eyes are like copper bells, seeing Yang Xianmao, can't help but be more round, eyes full of doubts.
Ye Duo hurriedly stepped forward, clasped his fists and bowed deeply, "Meet Prince Zasang." ”
The man who came was none other than the prince of Ma Erkang, Zasang.
Zha Sang just nodded at him slightly, but his eyes were staring at Yang Xianmao, because in Zha Sang's eyes, he saw Yang Xianmao's momentum that people could only perceive with their senses. This momentum is like an eagle flying in the clouds, which only a discerning hunter can see through the clouds.
Ye Duo hurriedly introduced Yang Xianmao: "This is Prince Zasang. ”
Yang Xianmao was originally going to step forward and give up his fist, but when he saw Prince Zasang's aggressive posture and the lack of friendliness on his face, the hand he was about to raise only moved slightly, and he still stood casually on the spot, looking at the other party.
Zha Sang wanted to wait for Yang Xianmao to greet him, and then ask him who it was, but Yang Xianmao didn't do this, and didn't introduce himself, which made him even more annoyed, and he couldn't help snorting from his nostrils with a gloomy face, and turned his head to look at Ye Duo next to him very dissatisfied: "Who is this person? Why did you trespass into the palace." ”
Ye Duo hurriedly explained with a smile: "His Royal Highness the prince is angry, this is not an outsider trespassing, he is the king's guest of honor, he is a disciple of Venerable Ling Xiao, he came to discuss with the king about buying horses, his name is Yang Xianmao, he is a Taoist, and he has a Taoist name." ”
Hearing this, Prince Zasang couldn't help but gasp, because the name of Venerable Ling Xiao was too loud, it was the only cultivator on the continent who really stepped into the immortal realm with half a foot, although it was already a figure that existed hundreds of years ago, and now that Xiuzhen no longer exists, but Yu Wei is still there, so Prince Zasang's face, the tense and gloomy face gradually eased, nodded and said: " It turns out that this is the case, but even if you are a disciple of the Venerable, you should kneel down and kowtow when you see this king, after all, this is our horse daring, not your Great Song. ”
In fact, in the Great Song Dynasty, etiquette is far less perverted than in the Ming and Qing dynasties, let alone seeing a prince, even if it is to see the king and emperor, as long as it is not a formal ceremony, celebration or festival, there is generally no need for a formal kowtow, just need to hug your fists and bow your hands, so not to mention the tribal kingdom of Tubo that is located in a remote area and has no strict etiquette at all, so this request of Prince Zasang is obviously very excessive, Yang Xianmao is not like he heard what he said, and walked straight past him.
At this moment, Zasang's face suddenly became gloomy again, and he was about to explode in anger, he turned around, and said sharply: "Stop, you stop for me, do you hear? I'm telling you to stop, hey, are you deaf?"
Yang Xianmao really seemed to be deaf, as if the scenery outside had tempted him, and he looked around carelessly, and stepped out of the palace, not putting the thunderous words of Zha Sang in his ears at all.
Zha Sang was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, but he knew that since the other party was a disciple of Venerable Ling Xiao, that skill was not a joke, but he was used to being arrogant and domineering in the past, as long as he calmed down, it would be fine. Now that people are leaving, he has no choice, he feels that his face is lost, so he has to spit a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground, and Ye Duo, who persuaded him on the side, pushed him violently, and a few stumbles almost fell, snorted, and ignored him, and walked straight into the palace.
Ye Duo finally stood firm, watched them enter, the smile on his face disappeared, and he scolded secretly: "Your grandmother is a bear." ”
Then he was afraid of being heard by others, so he quickly covered his mouth with his hands, looked left and right, and then turned his head and slipped out of the palace like a little mouse, chasing Yang Xianmao.
Prince Zasang entered the palace and went straight to his father's Jinluan Palace, King Ma Er Dang had already gotten up and was about to go to the palace, when he heard him talking to Ye Duo and Yang Xianmao at the door, he stood there and watched, so he also saw the scene just now, and when Prince Zasang came to his palace, he said with a gloomy face: "How can you talk to the disciple of Venerable Ling Xiao like this, Venerable Ling Xiao is an immortal cultivator who has stepped into the immortal realm with half a foot! If you anger his disciple, I am afraid that it will bring ruin to our kingdom." ”
"Hahahaha. Zhasang looked up to the sky and laughed, and suddenly burst into laughter for a moment, and said with a gloomy face: "Let me tell you, Father, the older you are, the less courageous you are, if Venerable Ling Xiao is still here, we can respect him for three points, but he was finished more than a hundred years ago, why should we respect him." ”
"That's not right, this Yang Gongzi said that his master is actually not dead, and is still cultivating on the coast of the East China Sea, if this news is true, then we still have to be extremely careful. ”
"That's all bluffing, if he says that his master is dead, who will be afraid of him? Only an old fool like you, father, would believe his words, and if it were me, I would have exposed his nonsense to my face. ”
"I also have some doubts about the authenticity of his words, but this kind of thing is better to believe it, after all, people are not here to find trouble, and they are still here to spend a lot of money, so there is no need to turn against others. ”
Zasang waved his hand and said, "It's buying a horse again." - Father, I have told you many times, horses are fate for us, whoever you sell horses to may be our enemies in the future, we can only buy horses from others to strengthen our army, it is possible to dominate Tibet in the future, you just don't listen to me, you have to sell horses to others, you are really getting older and more confused. ”
"How could my father not know this, okay, after all, he is a disciple of Venerable Ling Xiao, and he has been cooperating with us for so many years, besides, the number of horses he bought is not much, only three hundred, but just now I have promised to double it for him, six hundred. ”
"Father, are you really old and confused? not only sell the horse to him, but also double it, do you really want to dare our horse to die?"
Looking at his son, who was full of lust, King Ma Er dared to be a little fierce, so he could only patiently explain with a gloomy face: "Don't worry, six hundred horses, it's really a drop in the bucket for the 100,000 horses on our war horses, it's not worth being in such a hurry, you can also use this to stabilize him and prevent him from making trouble." ”
Prince Zasang interrupted his father with a vigorous wave of his hand, saying, "All right! But father, I still say the same thing, you should hand over the throne to me as soon as possible, and see how I unify Tibet. ”
The king's face immediately became gloomy, and he said in a cold voice: "There is no need to say this, my father is not dizzy now, the country is sitting firmly, you don't need your help, you can do your thing." ”
Prince Zasang spat on the ground in hatred and said, "Okay, then let's not talk about this topic. Father, I came to you today, and I want to talk about courtship, and the king of Tami is looking for the world's heroes to compete for his princess, and I want to marry him. However, the princess said that her husband was a hero in the world, so she asked her father to set up a ring to compete in martial arts, in fact, we all know that this is nothing more than to satisfy his princess's vanity. The king will ambush the master, and if the person who is really dissatisfied with the king is finally selected, the master will come out and defeat him, and then the person who is really satisfied with the king will come to power and defeat the master here, and he will be able to become a fast son-in-law of the dragon in the name. - That's what I heard through an insider. In fact, without this, I can completely sweep the world's heroes and marry her into the door, hahahaha. ”
As soon as the king heard this, the gloom on his face suddenly vanished, and he sat back on the dragon chair with a smile, patted the back of the chair, and said to the prince next to him: "My son sits down and talks, you can have this idea, it is really a great comfort to my father." ”
Prince Zasang sat down on the stool, put his hands on his knees, stared at his father with eyes like brass bells, and said, "I said that I have great talents, and you don't believe it, marrying this princess is a good and harmless thing, although I don't know what this princess looks like." However, no matter how ugly she looks, she is still a princess, and it is difficult to see where she goes. Besides, for the sake of our horses, it doesn't matter if we marry her and throw her aside, as long as the horses dare to marry Domi, our power will be strong enough, and it will be easy to annex the northern kingdom of Doma in the future. ”
There are three main tribal kingdoms in Tubo bordering the Great Song Dynasty, from north to south, they are Doma, Domi and Maerkang, among which the middle kingdom of Domi is the largest, the most populous, and the most powerful army.
Among the three kingdoms, the Tammy Kingdom often sent troops to fight with the Doma in the north and the horses in the south, and the three parties fought without saying a word, and the war was won and lost, and after fighting for a few days, they made peace, so they maintained a balance between war and peace, and maintained a relative stability for more than a hundred years, but if the three parties had any two-party marriage, the third party would face a joint attack by both parties, and the situation would be in crisis.
Therefore, the king of the Tami Kingdom should also see this, and finally made up his mind to use his daughter as bait, so that Doma and Ma'er dare to marry them, and after forming an alliance with one of them, they will eat the other side first.
