Chapter 46: The Pony Fish
The Han Dynasty brought fish to the royal city of the Beigong Kingdom, the city wall was made of mud, only more than four meters high, compared with the huge stone city wall of the Central Plains, the city wall of the Beigong seemed stingy and child's play. Perhaps the northern wings were nomadic and did not need to live here for a long time, so the city did not need to be built firmly and strongly.
There are no roads in the city, so it can be said that where the feet are treaded, there is the road. The houses of the inhabitants are made of planks and tents, and in today's case they are portable houses, with the occasional small vendor hawking in the open lot, and the cattle and sheep with markings on their bodies roaming around more than people.
If you let the fish use words to describe this city, two words - cold; Three words - unenlightened; Four words - birds don't poop...
Youyu didn't dislike the northern people, but this place was really poor.
But the people of the north are authentic and simple, and the pedestrians on the road see a fish on their faces, and a smile appears on their faces, as if a fish is a relative who has run away from home since he was a child and returned to his hometown, and everyone welcomes him back, and the fish feels very cordial.
Not far away was a castle, which the great men said was their royal palace. Well, it's finally a bit of Qiao's compound. Seeing that the big men led themselves to the palace, Youyu paused hesitantly, "I, can I go in?" β
"Of course." A big man deliberately imitated the tone of Youyu's speech, looking yin and yang, "You are the messenger of the Central Plains, and the king will definitely treat you well." β
Youyu explained: "No, no, you have lifted me, I am just an ordinary person in the Central Plains." β
Another big man said: "Oh, so you are a businessman, welcome." β
Youyu shook his head and struggled to explain: "I'm not a merchant, uh, I'm a fugitive." β
"Ah, hero! The king admires you most of all for being a hero of the following crimes, please. β
"......" Youyu began to doubt the values of the Beiban people.
An old man came from the house with something in his hand, stuffed the thing into Youyu's hand, and said with a smile: "It is really rare for foreigners to come to our country, I hope you don't dislike it, this is my family's herbal medicine, see that your hands are frozen and swollen, you boil these herbs, and then use it to soak your hands, and your hands will be fine in two days." β
Youyu was a little caught off guard, and hurriedly touched his body, and finally took out a copper coin that was not worth much: "Thank you, auntie, is this money enough?" β
"Ouch," the eldest lady refused, "young man, you misunderstood me, I gave it to you, you don't have to give me money." β
A big man with braided hair looked at Youyu with disgust, and sneered at Youyu along the way. He is the leader of the Han Dynasty, and it is said that he is a general of the Northern Wing State, who has been to the Central Plains and is called Mu Lang.
Youyu can understand that Mu Lang's deep malice is not dislike himself, but dislike the Central Plains, but fortunately, he does not hide his true temperament.
Mu Lang: "Don't think that our Beiban people are as stingy as you Central Plains people, everything is calculated, in exchange for it, it is natural for one party to be in trouble and support from all sides, you will accept the medicine if the aunt gives you the medicine, don't be unappreciative." Feelings: You Central Plains people have money, all of them are cut out, right? β
"I... That was not what I meant. How did Youyu know that the Beiban people were so generous, and defended, "I mean that the courtesy is still exchanged, and the eldest lady is so good to me, I don't know what to give in return." β
The eldest lady sincerely opened her arms and said with a smile: "Come, hug, just as your return gift." β
The eldest mother is kind and kind, and the simple smile ingests the heart of Youyu, and Youyu suddenly seems to see his deceased grandmother, and is moved to hug the eldest mother tightly.
"What a good boy," said the eldest lady, patting Youyu on the shoulder, "Go, the king must like you very much." β
"Hmm." Youyu said goodbye to the eldest lady and entered the palace with the big men.
As expected, the royal palace of the northern wing was the same as that of the people of the northern wingβrustic. said that it is like the Qiao family's compound, but it is not as magnificent as the Lin Mansion. But the palace maids here are different, they are enthusiastic and cheerful, unrestrained, unlike the palace maids in the imperial capital, who are trembling and timid.
Mu Lang said that the people of the northern wing were very loyal to the king, and the king loved the people like sons. In their eyes, royal power is not power, but responsibility, and if anyone usurps the throne, the people will surely crusade against him.
When the group arrived at the main hall, they did not see the king of the north, and when they heard the maid say that the king was in the palace of the princess, they went there. Youyu couldn't help but sigh, how could he let the king of the north be treated by his little person, the people of the north are really hospitable.
Mu Lang walked, his face fell, and he sighed and said: "Hey, our princess Niansha is seriously ill and has been bedridden for half a year, and the doctors who have asked the whole country have not been able to heal well, and the doctor said that Niansha may not live long, and the king goes to visit Niansha every day, hey, what should I do." β
The others also looked sad when they heard this, and a big man sighed with emotion: "The poor princess is young and not yet married..."
Mu Lang's eyes suddenly flashed with hope, and he held Youyu's wrist: "You are a well-informed person from the Central Plains, if you look at Niansha, you may know what the disease is." β
He finally spit out a word of praise for the people of the Central Plains.
Although Youyu doesn't understand medical science, the Beiban people are so sincere that Youyu is willing to give it a try. "Well, I'll go see if it's a disease I've seen, and if I've seen it, I'll do my best."
Mu Lang entered the princess's hall with the fish, and on a large bed lay a dying girl, with a white towel wrapped around her head, her face was pale, and she spoke weakly to the man beside the bed. The man beside the bed wore a "crown" like a mantra on his head, and a gold bracelet carved with a sheep's head on his wrist, which was the first gold item that a fish had seen in the northern wing, and he must have been the king of the northern wing.
The princes of the Central Plains like to take dragons, eagles, and tigers as the totems of their nation, and they are full of murderous spirit. And the northern wing country actually admires sheep without intimidating power, and I think that the northern wing is not a aggressive nation. It is very safe to live in such a country, and it is no wonder that the people are warm and easy-going.
Mu Lang asked: "King, this is a visitor from the Central Plains, I specially brought him to see you, and by the way, let him take a look at Niansha's illness." β
Youyu stepped forward respectfully and said, "I've seen the king." β
The king of the north got up and looked at Youyu, and after looking up and down, he bowed to Youyu with the etiquette of the north wing, showing respect. "Welcome to Mr. Bei, Mr. Please."
The king of the north does not have the posture of the lord of a country at all, but is as polite as a palace person, and Youyu feels uncomfortable. Youyu timidly walked to the side of the bed and took a closer look at Princess Niansha, the princess was not amazing, her appearance was mediocre but it was comfortable to look at. Some fish looked at it for a while and couldn't see what the disease was, and shook their heads in frustration.
But Princess Niansha was excited when she saw Youyu, panting sharply, and her face showed joy: "Brother... Brother, it turns out that the people of the Central Plains look like this, brother... I heard that there are many legends in the Central Plains, can you let my husband stay and tell me? β
The princess is seventeen years old, and if she is in good health, she must be a lively and mischievous girl who is full of longing for love. At the age of the flower season, she must have wanted to hear the legendary love story of the Central Plains.
The king of the north held Niansha's hand and affirmed: "Okay, as long as Niansha likes it, I will recruit him to be your colt and let him tell you stories every day." β
"Good!" Niansha nodded again and again, squinting happily at the fish.
Mu Lang's face became more and more gloomy, and he glared at Youyu angrily, as if Youyu had offended him.
Youyu hurriedly excused himself and said, "The king can't, I already have a knot..."
The king of the north immediately waved his hand to signal Youyu not to speak, and then took Youyu out of the princess's palace. The king of the north stood with his hands in his hands, looking at the scenery in front of him, and his figure looked extremely haggard and lonely. He said earnestly: "Sir, you don't know that my sister yearns for the Central Plains wholeheartedly, and she has hoped to marry to the Central Plains since she was a child, but unfortunately she will not die long," a tear slipped from the corner of the Beigong Wang's eyes, and he lowered his head and sighed, "I hope that Mr. will fulfill Niansha's last wish and let her go satisfied." β
Youyu was stunned for a moment and sympathized: "The princess is really pitiful, if I can meet the princess's wishes, I am willing to make a play." β
"What is a play?" The king of the north turned his head sharply to stare at Youyu, and his tone became very displeased, "Princess, she longs for a marriage, not a play!" Isn't she worthy to be your wife? β
Youyu was anxious: "No... I didn't mean that, I was afraid that I would treat the princess badly. β
The king of the north said angrily: "You don't have to worry about any disadvantage, you just need to answer whether this king is willing to marry Niansha and accompany her through the last days." β
Youyu is even more sure that the northern wing is a strange people, either accept or reject, in short, there is no room for hypocrisy. Youyu thought quickly, and he knew that what he was facing was not a question of love or not, but a question of whether or not to fulfill a girl's dream.
