Chapter 86: The Old Man (1)

Today, a distinguished guest came to Donghu, not so much a distinguished guest, but the master of the king of Donghu who did not want to bow his head but could not help but bow his head - Helian City. Helian City is now the de facto ruler of the Xiongnu, in the past five years, Tata's power has become the strongest of the Xiongnu tribes, and Helian City painstakingly managed, to the tribes to adopt different policies or alliances or strikes, although the strength of Donghu is not weak, but when everyone else is subjugated to Helian City, he can only be with them to Helian City to show goodwill, otherwise, the first tribe of the Xiongnu to disappear is he Donghu.

Today, Helian City came to Donghu to discuss the unification of the troops, and the king of Donghu still had to entertain Helian City on the face, so he prepared a grand bonfire party to welcome the new lord of the Huns. Chu Xiangwan was preparing a meal in the tent at this moment, King Donghu was a person with a good face, it was because he hated Helian City very much in his heart that he wanted to put on a score in front of Helian City, so he wanted to have the most exquisite and delicious food of the Huns tonight.

Chu Xiangwan has been completely given up by the king of Donghu since the "smallpox" disfigured her appearance three years ago, so that she will no longer be tortured by the women of the king of Donghu, although she will still be looked down upon by people in Donghu, but without the covetousness of the king of Donghu and the protection of the Zimiao clan in the open and secret, her life has been much better than when she first came. She doesn't think too much during the day, because there is too much work to do, just like at this time, she is busy sweating in the tent, and she has no time to take care of him, only in the dead of night will she think of her child who is far away in Da Zhou, but she has now figured it out, with Huangfu Jingwen's feelings for her, even if the child is in Fu Qingwu's hands, Fu Qingwu will only protect the child in order to compete for favor, and will not harm the child, as long as she has the opportunity to return to Da Zhou, then she and the child will have a day of recognition.

The bonfire party has begun, and Helian City's seat is arranged to the left of King Donghu to show respect, King Donghu raised the cup in his hand and said with a smile: "It is my honor for the Great Khan to come to my Donghu, I will first toast the Great Khan, and we must not get drunk tonight." Since the Xiongnu tribes surrendered to Helian City, in order to show their loyalty, they all called Helian City "Great Khan". Although King Donghu was unwilling, he had to adapt to the situation.

Helian Cheng raised the wine glass in his hand, drank the wine in the cup with a smile, put down the wine glass, and said politely: "King Donghu is very grateful. ”

Many Donghu beauties on the field have danced a warm and unrestrained dance, these beauties are carefully selected by the king of Donghu, he is ready to dedicate these beauties to Helian City, hoping to use this to plant nails by Helian Cheng's side, so that he can always grasp Helian Cheng's movements, but Helian Cheng's expression is not much addicted, so he doesn't know if this method will work. So he turned his head and asked, "Great Khan, how are these beauties?" If the Great Khan has a favorite, it is better to bring a few back and enjoy them. ”

The corners of Helian Cheng's mouth raised slightly, and instead of answering his question, he said: "King Donghu, there are more and more beauties around you, but why do I look at this woman next to you who doesn't look like our Huns?" ”

Helian Cheng refers to Jin'er, there are a lot of women who accompany him tonight, but they all sit below, only Zimiao Yan and Jin'er sit on the side of King Donghu, Zi Miao Yan Clan needless to say, Jin'er is now the most favored by King Donghu, just for this, the other women are angry, and said, "Why do you want to let this Da Zhou woman sit on the seat when you receive distinguished guests, the king has been dizzy by this fox spirit." ”

King Donghu took the opportunity to pinch Jin'er's chin and said proudly: "Da Khan is really good eyesight, she is from the Great Zhou, how is it, does she look gorgeous?" ”

"It's a blessing to let those wives and concubines of yours live in harmony with a Zhou woman."

"The slave and maid only know that they must serve the king well in order to repay the king's kindness, and the slave and maid are now very good in the Huns, and they will not go back, so the slave and the maid are the Huns and not the Great Zhou." Jin'er said very humbly, coupled with a little tender eyes, King Donghu was very happy to be coaxed by her.

"What a clever woman." Helian Cheng said with a smile, unable to tell whether it was praise or something else in his tone, but the women below all showed disdain when they heard her words.

"Great Khan, you still haven't answered my question." King Donghu refers to the matter of sending beautiful women.

Helian Cheng waved his hand, looking very helpless: "Ben Khan has just been married for three years, and Princess Alan has a temperament······ Forget it. Helian Cheng pretended to be embarrassed, as if it was because Uroran was fierce and jealous of him that he did not dare to bring the beauty back. In fact, he knew the intentions of King Donghu, so he said this, but from the outsider's point of view, Helian Cheng seemed to be really afraid of his wife, and he and Uloran had not accepted a side concubine for three years of marriage, it must be because of the Tata forces behind Uloran that he didn't dare to offend Uroran.

"Hehe, I didn't expect the concubine to be so strong, even so, it's a pity." King Donghu smiled disdainfully, sure enough, the power obtained by women is unstable.

"This dish is—" Helian Cheng pointed to the plate of lamb stew in front of him.

"What's wrong? Big man doesn't like the taste? Zimiao Yan tasted the stewed mutton in front of her, and her face changed, the one in front of her should be presented to Helian City, and the next person made a mistake when serving the food. Because of the relationship between Princess Mingli, the food of the Zimiao clan since childhood has also joined the cooking method of the Zhou people, in fact, it is also added to the mutton with some green onion and ginger to remove the smell, but the Huns love this smell, and things like green onion and ginger are rare here, and it is difficult for ordinary people to buy them, so the stewed mutton that normal people eat is the original taste, only the stew of the Zimiao clan is added to the green onion and ginger, which is also specially prepared by Chu Xiangwan for her. Helian Cheng estimated that she couldn't get used to this taste, so she was very nervous, for fear that the king would punish Chu Xiangwan for this.

"King Donghu misunderstood, Ben Khan thought it tasted very good, and wanted to reward this cook." Helian explained.

"It's easy, come on, bring the cook who makes this dish." King Donghu commanded below.

Someone went to the tent to find Chu Xiangwan and shouted: "Evening slave, the Great Khan said that your dishes are well done, let you go to the front to receive the reward." Here, Chu Xiangwan is just a female slave without a surname, but Jin'er is a side concubine who hugs her back and forth, which is really different.

When Chu Xiangwan heard this, he waved his hand and said, "I'm covered in dirt, and my face is ······ It will make Donghu rude, you better find someone else to receive the reward. "Chu Xiangwan stayed in the Xiongnu for five years, how can he not know that the current Xiongnu Khan is the Helian City who kidnapped her that day, although her appearance has changed, but she can't take risks, besides, if Helian City uses her as a threat again, let the emperor Jingyao obey, then what should be good. Therefore, she must not show her face.
