Chapter Ninety-Seven: Good Wine and Good Dance, Good Music

"Since the chiefs of the various tribes have used the salt and iron of Seoul, how can they not know that this salt and iron also have owners! Why did only a few chieftains come to reward Abaoji?"

In order not to make the chiefs suspicious, Yelu Abaoji finished speaking, soft and hard, and laughed!

Tarigu replied: "No, the chiefs of the tribes already know that the salt and iron also have masters, so they rushed to reward the city lord to express their gratitude." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Hey, Abaoji just made a little joke. Ladies and gentlemen, please wait a moment, and as soon as the rest of the adults arrive, we will immediately open our seats."

Outside the Hongyi Palace, the guards of the chiefs of the various departments were also very busy. Some people are busy setting up big tents, and some people are busy enclosing the cattle and sheep that are rewarding Abaoji.

Sarib and the other chieftains deliberately waited outside to observe the movement, but after waiting for a while, there was no movement. So, swaggered into Hongyi Palace.

Sarib, Wali, Nere, and the maidens went up to the temple one after another, and bowed to Jelu Abaoji.

"Meet the Lord".

"You don't have to be so polite, please take a seat." Yelu Abaoji stepped out of his seat and took the hands of several chiefs.

The four of them, Salib, Wali, Nere, and the woman, were anxious and sat down in fear.

I saw Tarigu elated. "Chiefs, the city lord will wait for you to arrive and start the banquet immediately!"

"Why is Chief Tarigu so open"? The chieftains of Sarib, Wali, Nere, and the Lady were puzzled.

"Wine man, open the table"! Abaoji commanded enthusiastically.

Salib, Wali, Nere, and the maiden were still alert, looking around to the left and right.

A few drunkards filled large plates of beef, venison, and steamed buns in front of the chiefs; whole pheasants, hares; Small dishes of green onions, garlic and vinegar; Fresh melons, fruits, and snacks.

"To put it mildly, Abaoji still thinks that you adults are unwilling to appreciate it."

"How can it? We've been friends with the lord for many years."

"Come, try it, these deer dumplings are made by my concubine herself, I don't know how they taste"?

Abaoji was the first to eat a bun.

"Well, it's delicious, but it's good." Everyone praised each other.

Sarib added, "We thought about it, unified our minds, and decided to come to Seoul."

"It seems that the lords still don't want to come and treat me"?

The drunkards with their hair stooped down and humbly poured wine for the chiefs.

"When I came to Seoul, I saw that the city lord was so enthusiastic about entertaining us, and this meeting was also grand, and our brothers didn't say anything."

Hanghao looked around and motioned for Sariben to stop talking.

Sariben took a small fish knife, cut a piece of venison and put it in his mouth, and said again.

"Such delicious venison, if we don't come, won't we waste the good intentions of the city lord?"

"Chiefs, please drink this cup to the fullest and clear up all misunderstandings between you." Yelu Abaoji said and picked up the wine bowl.

"Wait"! Tarigu stood up suddenly, and everyone was shocked.

"We are here to reward the city lord, how can we let the city lord break the bank again?"

Taligu waved his hand. "Bring in the red seal wine from the outside"!

Tarigu's guards quickly carried a dozen jars of wine with red seals into the main hall.

"Since the chieftains of the tribes have such good intentions, the lord of this city has no choice but to be respectful and obey his fate. Wine man, change the wine".

The wine-man with his hair combed exchanged the wine of the crowd for the red seal wine brought by the chiefs.

"The chiefs of the tribes, Abaoji sincerely invites all the chiefs to come to Seoul together, one is to reminisce about the past; Second, I also want you chiefs to know that this salt and iron also has an owner. In the future, if you have any needs, just say a word, but don't go outside."

The chiefs looked at each other.

"Hmm. The lord of this city also specially prepared some salt and iron for the tribes, and after the wine and food are full, the chiefs of the tribes must not be allowed to return empty-pocketed."

Hearing this, Tarigu smiled slightly.

"Since the chieftains of the tribes have arrived in Seoul, I have to say that since I came to Seoul, I have set up a horse market here for the tribes and merchants to exchange horses for salt and iron. The fast horses that you are riding now, the iron bones and scimitars in your hands, all of them have the hard work of my Abaoji."

"This chief is indeed indebted to the lord of the city, and a few days ago he took a fancy to some of the good horses of the lord of the city, and forgot to give the silver. In the future, Tarigu will be doubled."

Yelu Abaoji waved his hand again and again.

"Hey, Lord Taligu, you fell in love with the horses in Seoul and didn't give you any money, so you can afford to look down on the lord of the city. This little holiday, adults must not take it to heart. From now on, the accounts of the past will be written off, and no one will be allowed to mention them in the future."

Tarigu stood up embarrassedly, smiled slightly, and gave Yelu Abaoji a fist salute.

"Lord of the city, in the past, we had eyes but didn't know Mount Tai, but today we are served."

"Come, chiefs, there is wine today and drunk tomorrow. In order to thank the lords for coming to Seoul, I would like to ask my concubine Xiao to present a song and dance for the lords of the tribes to cheer up your swallow drinks, how about it?"

"Wait, accept the good intentions of the city lord, and we won't be suspicious in the future!"

"Yes! Why are people so tired when they are alive? Today, we drink and watch dances, talk about family life, and relax, relax."

Khitan music sounded, and Xiao Xin'er led the female soldiers belonging to the Shan army to appear one after another.

They wore feathers on their heads, wore left-sewing narrow-sleeved robes, wore small silver lings on their wrists, and danced lightly in the music.

Tari stared at Xiao Xin'er with an antique smile, as if he was thinking about something.

"The ancient land of Saibei has raised children, and the blood-stained songs on both sides of the water are neighing and the horses are neighing. Open your chest and stretch out the wings of the falcon, forever thinking about where to fly. The jade liquid burned with passion, and the girl danced in festive costumes. Wearing agate Yingluo singing melodious tunes, the fiery heart has already turned into jade liquid elixir."

The greedy eyes of the Seven Chiefs flickered, and they clapped incessantly.

Yelu Abaoji was cute and smiled.

"The city lord's good fortune is not shallow, these little goblins are all charming. Hahahaha"!

The winemaker with his hair carefully refills the agate bowl with horse's milk.

Yelu Abaoji took the lead in picking up the agate bowl.

"The chiefs have come from afar, and they are grateful, and they are especially grateful to you!"

The chieftains of the tribes also happily took up the small bowl of agate.

"Abaoji is enough for the righteous anger of the buddies, and the chiefs of all the tribes have seen it here. The lord of the city treated him with such high courtesy, and we blamed him for it.

After drinking the wine, Abaoji picked up a small fish knife and cut a piece of venison, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly.

When the seven chiefs saw it, they all chewed on steaks and lamb chops with confidence, and drank Hongfeng good wine.

Hanghu stood up and gave a cross-handed salute.

"Shame! Ashamed! In the past, I only knew that there was salt and iron, but I didn't know that salt and iron also had owners. Today, we will use the cow wine to meet the salt pool, in order to thank Abaoji for his hospitality, we will drink happily, not drunk and not returning."

"The wine is good, the music is good, and the dance is wonderful. It's breathtaking!" Tarigu's eyes narrowed into a slit. (To be continued.) )
