Chapter 211: Uthru
Qin Xiao stuffed the leather bag into Haniz's arms, the weight of this hundred gold coins was not light, heavy, Haniz did not have much strength, and almost fell, Qin Xiao hurriedly helped put it on the table, and said with a smile: "Just go back and let the horses carry it." โ
"Little ..... Little brother, how can I collect these gold coins? Haniz was a little anxious: "It's too valuable." โ
Haniz was sold into slavery for only ten gold coins, but it was because Haniz was outstanding, and the price was already very expensive.
These 100 gold coins are enough to buy ten young and beautiful girls like Haniz.
Of course, Haniz knew the value of these hundred gold coins, but Qin Xiao was generous, but Haniz was startled.
"What I sent out, naturally I can't take it back." Qin Xiao was carrying a silver ticket of 300,000 taels of silver in his arms, and these hundred gold coins were naturally unsightly: "And I promise to help you restore your sister's freedom, a manly man, and naturally do it." โ
Haniz lowered his head, and only raised his head after a moment, the corners of his eyes were slightly red, and said softly: "Little brother, you treat me so well." There are too many bad people in this world, their smiles sometimes seem kind, but their hearts are vicious, only you are the real good person. โ
Qin Xiao laughed, thought for a while, and then said, "You just stay here for two days, don't leave in a hurry." We should leave in two days, and then we should go to Fort Zephyr to meet up with the others, and you and we will go back to Fort Zephyr with us, and there will be a response on the way. โ
Yuwen Chengchao came to White Wolf City, naturally to talk to the White Wolf Khan King about future cooperation, the White Wolf Khan King has just returned to the White Wolf City, to deal with the problems left by the beggar Fushan, when these problems are solved, he will naturally discuss with Yuwen Chengchao in detail.
Once the two negotiated, Yuwen Chengchao would naturally not continue to stay here.
Dapeng took people to the West Wind Castle, and Tian Dou's two shopkeepers were still there, and Yuwen Chengchao naturally had to go there to rendezvous.
Haniz, a young girl, is already very risky to come to White Wolf City alone on this trip, and then return to Zephyr Fort alone with a bag of gold coins, it is even more dangerous, once she is targeted, it will be unimaginable, Qin Xiao naturally does not want Haniz to be in any danger.
Haniz nodded and smiled, "I'm with you." โ
"By the way, I'm going to a banquet in the evening." Qin Xiao said: "If you are hungry here and want to eat something, tell the people outside directly, and they will arrange it for you." โ
Haniz's lips moved slightly, and she stopped talking, Qin Xiao knew that she had something to say, and asked, "What do you want to say?" โ
"We're separated in a few days." Haniz thought for a while, and finally said, "I came to White Wolf City in the hope that I can serve you well in the past few days." In the evening you go to the feast, I ..... Can I serve by your side? โ
Qin Xiao thought to himself that there were many slaves and maids in the Khan's palace, and they would naturally serve them very well, and there was no need for others around him, but he saw Haniz with anticipation in his eyes, and wanted to hold a banquet for the White Wolf Khan King tonight.
If you bring Haniz, there will be one more person, and the White Wolf King shouldn't mind.
Moreover, Haniz is now a free body, not a slave, and will not look humble when he enters the palace of the Khan.
"If you want, let's go and see it in the evening." Qin Xiao smiled: "If you follow me, no one will stop you." โ
When Haniz heard this, he was even more happy and excited, and he actually hugged Qin Xiao and kissed him on the cheek.
Qin Xiao was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Haniz to be so active, looking at Haniz's delicate face, he thought that the girl from the Western Regions was more generous, and the woman from the Central Plains was still reserved after all.
In the evening, people came from the Khan's palace and invited Yuwen Chengchao and others to the Khan's palace for a banquet.
The white shopkeeper and Tang Rong took advantage of the car, and Qin Xiao was going to go on horseback, but Haniz went with him, so he took the car instead, and Yuwen Chengchao and the others rode over.
Yuwen Chengchao already knew that Haniz was coming, and Qin Xiao mentioned to Yuwen Chengchao in advance that he wanted to take Haniz to the Khan's palace, but Yuwen Chengchao readily agreed.
When everyone went out, Qin Xiao didn't get close to Tang Rong, and Tang Rong didn't look at Qin Xiao.
When the group arrived at the Khan Palace, the sky had already darkened, and there were two rows of wolf guards standing outside the Khan Palace, wearing scimitars at their waists, and their spirits were high.
Just as he was about to go in, he heard the sound of horses' hooves, Qin Xiao and the others followed the sound, and only saw a few flying horses coming, the first person was dressed in leather, but he was bareheaded, there was no grass on his head, two big earrings on his ears, his face was full of meat, and his appearance was very fierce.
Yuwen Chengchao looked at it a few times, and the bald eyes also happened to look at Yuwen Chengchao, turned over and dismounted, someone had already led the horse to retreat, and the wolf guards guarding outside the palace gate all saluted the bald cross-arm.
The bald head looked Yuwen Chengchao up and down, "You are the eldest son of the Xiling Yuwen family?" โ
Yuwen Chengchao bowed his hand, his bald head was a little arrogant, and said: "Doesn't your Tang Kingdom have a saying, called to follow the customs of the country?" In the Khanate, it is natural to perform the rites of the Khanate, why do you still have to perform the rites of the Tang State? โ
When Qin Xiao heard this, he immediately frowned.
This bald head is obviously stirring up trouble.
"Your Excellency?"
The bald head didn't speak, and an attendant behind him had already said: "This is the Great Leaf Protector of the Tooth Bone Mountain Tower, the head of the Four Leaf Protectors of my White Wolf Tribe, and also the Usilu of my White Wolf Tribe!" โ
"What do you mean by Uthru?" Qin Xiao couldn't help but ask.
The attendant said proudly, "Uthru means the first warrior. The Khan King holds a contest every year, and the participants are all brave warriors from my White Wolf Department, and the lowest is a centurion, and the last winner is Uthru, and Ye Hu has been a Uthru for three consecutive years. โ
Qin Xiao saw that the Tooth Bone Mountain Tower had strong muscles and dark skin, and knew that it was not a good stubble, and he thought that the lowest person to participate in the competition was the centurion, but this Tooth Bone Mountain Tower was Ye Hu, and his status was second only to the King of Khan.
"I heard that you have made a contribution this time." Yagushan Tower said: "The Khan King also ordered you to give you a sword salute, which has not happened for many years. โ
Since Yuwen Chengchao knew that he was one of the four great Ye Protectors, and his status in the White Wolf Department was not low, he didn't want to have any contradictions with him, so he said with a smile: "King Khan, we can't afford it." โ
Yagu Mountain Tower's gaze swept away, and suddenly fell on Haniz behind Qin Xiao, the corners of his lips smiled, and he raised his hand to Haniz and said, "How many gold coins does this woman have?" โ
Yuwen Chengchao and the others were stunned, frowned, and looked at Qin Xiao, but seeing that Qin Xiao was not angry, he smiled back, and asked, "How many gold coins does Ye Hu have?" โ
"She is a woman from the Western Regions, and the most beautiful woman will not exceed a hundred gold coins." Yagushan Tower looked directly at Haniz: "You are her master?" I will give you two hundred gold coins, and the man will be mine. โ
It's not that the Tooth Bone Mountain Tower is condescending.
The girl who came out of the Western Regions, no matter what
Whether it is in the Tang Dynasty or in Wuda, almost all of them are slaves, a young and beautiful bearded girl like Hanizi, almost no one can get a free body, and when she saw Haniz in the Yagu Mountain Tower, she immediately concluded that she must be a slave.
Slaves were in the eyes of these nobles, and there was no doubt about livestock goods.
This is like someone who takes a fancy to someone else's horse and bids to buy it, which is commonplace, and the Yagushan Tower takes a fancy to Haniz, and also treats Haniz as a horse.
Haniz had already shown his fright, and hid behind Qin Xiao.
"Two hundred gold coins?" Qin Xiao said with a smile: "Tooth Bone Ye Hu, to tell you the truth, two hundred gold coins, even a single hair of her can't be bought." โ
Yagu Mountain Tower frowned, Qin Xiao said slowly: "I can't count how much hair she has, if you want, I will sell you a hair for five hundred gold coins, and sell it for a hundred, you take fifty thousand gold coins here, and I will give you a tuft of hair, what do you think?" โ
Yagushan Tower's face changed suddenly, and he said sharply: "Are you ridiculing me? โ
"There's no ridicule." Qin Xiao spread his hands: "If you want to buy, I will make a price, whether you buy it or not, whether you sell it or not is in me, if you can't afford it, you can say it directly, you don't need to be so angry." โ
The Tooth Bone Mountain Tower frowned and sneered, "The Khan King gave you a sword salute, do you think you can be unscrupulous in the Wuda?" He clenched his fists and said, "Don't forget that this is the Uda, and the land under your feet belongs to our Uda, and there is no room for you to be arrogant in our land." โ
"The eldest prince, the Khan King is already waiting." A voice came from inside, and I saw Xue Qi smiling on the road, hurrying over, first saluting Yuwen Chengchao, and then turning to the Yagu Mountain Tower, bending his cross-arm: "Big Ye Protection!" โ
The Tooth Bone Mountain Tower glanced at Qin Xiao, snorted coldly, didn't say much, and walked towards the palace.
Xue Qilu glanced back at the back of the Yagu Mountain Tower, frowned slightly, but didn't say much, stepped forward and raised his hand and said, "Eldest son, everyone please come in!" โ
The eldest prince patted Qin Xiao on the shoulder, didn't say much, turned around and went to the palace, the fat fish was carrying the white shopkeeper on his back, Tang Rong followed closely to the side, Ning Zhifeng approached Qin Xiao's side, and said in a low voice: "That kind of person doesn't need to be as knowledgeable as him, his limbs are developed, and his mind is simple, don't pay attention to him." โ
Qin Xiao smiled slightly, turned around and saw Haniz's face a little frightened, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, by my side, no one dares to do anything to you." โ
Haniz nodded and smiled.
Entering the palace hall, there are already people playing music under the corridor, there are golden tables on the left and right sides of the hall, there are melons and fruits stacked on them, and most of the positions on the left are vacant, naturally reserved for Yuwen Chengchao and his party, and there are more than a dozen Wutuo officials sitting on the right, Qin Xiao knows that the Wutuo officials who can come in to participate in the banquet should be those Ye Hu, special services and Tong Jin, the bald head and the Tooth Bone Mountain Tower sit on the right chief, but it also proves that his status in the White Wolf Department is indeed not low.
The position on the left near the main seat is empty, but there are two people sitting at the last seat, the dress and face outline are completely different from the Vedas, dressed in black sรจ robes, one is about thirty years old, the other is an old man over fifty years old, although the two are roughly the same attire, but the young man still has a golden sรจ belt wrapped around his head, and sits on the head of the old man, like an old monk in meditation, sitting upright.
"They're from the Western Nights." Seeing that Qin Xiao glanced at the two of them, as if he was a little puzzled, Haniz leaned closer and whispered, "The head is wrapped in a gold belt, that's the prince of the Western Night." โ
