Chapter 178: Chinese New Year's Eve Banquet (Part I)

In the military village, there are red lanterns hanging, and occasionally there will be a burst of firecrackers, faintly having a bit of New Year's weather.

At the foot of the military village, the lanterns are hung high, and on both sides of the long table, the ghosts and barbarians gather, and the excitement is abnormal.

Lu Ning also did not expect that these ghost barbarian leaders would come to visit together on Chinese New Year's Eve, obviously negotiated, there are more than ten head people, including more than ten of the largest ghost barbarian tribes, with a population of more than a thousand households, including Jiarong and Toheu, who were the first to start a war with Herudun and finally defeated miserably, and the two or three big ghost masters who initially supported Herudun and finally failed.

Naturally, they still have many contradictions with each other, and even their hatred has deepened, but if they continue to fight, it will not be beneficial to anyone, so they will stop fighting.

For hundreds of years, these tribes have been doing this way.

Speaking of which, the entire Luoshi land accounts for about one-third of the area of Guizhou, and the population of large and small tribes together is only a hundred thousand, which should not exceed 200,000, and it is not even as good as the population of a large state capital in the Central Plains.

On behalf of the Jingu tribe is Asu, who is now in Jingulyeong, managing tribal affairs on behalf of Queen Jingu.

Nowadays, in the various tribes of the ghosts, most of the little nobles are called the queen of Jingu, which is naturally a manifestation of resistance that does not recognize the little nobles as the queen of the entire Luo Shidi.

However, at today's banquet, these more than ten big ghost lords naturally called Xiao Guiji with the title of Central Plains.

When Xiao Guiji appeared accompanied by Lan Chan, the ghost barbarians stood up together and chattered to congratulate Her Royal Highness Queen Luodian on a happy New Year.

Lu Ning rubbed his nose, he had just been soaking in the hot spring with these two little girls, and before he could figure out what to do with the two of them, the ghost barbarians came to visit together to celebrate the New Year in the Central Plains, and at the same time offered a lot of local products, and the Red Tiger Army's military rations for half a month were settled again.

"Honorable Lord Headquarters, I want to know what Herudun and his people want to do?"

After being enthusiastic for a while, Liu Boshi, a businessman beside Lu Ning, talked about the origin of the year, and told these ghost barbarians about their drowsiness, and Liu Boshi finally finished speaking, and the barbarian leaders applauded loudly, and Pugui drank a bowl full of wine and asked Lu Ning this question.

The leaders immediately quieted down and looked at Lu Ning in unison.

Obviously, this is the primary purpose of their coming today, to know the answer of the Central Plains people.

Lu Ning smiled and said, "Don't worry, since it's the New Year today, let's celebrate first, and we'll all be in the mood for the New Year." He said with a soft high-five.

The ghosts and barbarians were not knowing why, and in the small forest not far away, there was a sudden crackling sound and a flickering fire.

They were all taken aback, and they all stood up, and some of them even recklessly drew their scimitars.

Liu Boshi hurriedly stood up and said to them, meaning that everyone should not be afraid, this is the firecrackers of the Central Plains for the New Year.

In fact, Liu Boshi was also secretly shocked in his heart, the few firecrackers that sounded in the barracks were really just firecrackers, the crisp sound of empty bamboo tubes.

But today's firecrackers, is not the folk can see, I heard that it is used by the palace for the New Year, there are firecrackers, fireworks, etc., the queen mother of the border army hard work, in addition to the New Year's goods, and specially sent some fireworks to the four camps to celebrate the New Year, in the barbarian Red Tiger Army three battalions, also on the reward list.

These ghost barbarians listened to Liu Boshi's explanation, and then they all sat down slowly, but they couldn't help but look at each other.

"Bang", suddenly there was a loud bang, and the ground seemed to tremble.

Then two or three feet in the sky, there was another bang, and I saw the night sky, like countless meteors erupting, and like thousands of fire dragons spitting fire, gorgeous and indescribable.

The ghost barbarians all got up in shock, took a few steps back, and some of them changed color in shock, and almost everyone pulled out their scimitars.

Liu Boshi was also stunned, and forgot to explain to these ghosts.

Although the little queen and Lan Chan also changed color in shock, Lu Ning sat next to them, and the two of them were also well-informed during this time with Lu Ning, so they did not lose their temper like other ghost barbarians.

After the fireworks, the soldiers came to put some ground rats to help the fun, like the squeak of the rat's cry, several sparkling balls on the ground rolled around, this ground rat, but not the invention of the Qingzhou firecracker field, the folk has been roughly a little rudimentary, the firecracker factory to improve, so that it came out a few years earlier.

The ground rats were silent one by one, and these ghost and barbarian leaders sat down again under the beckoning of Liu Boshi.

Their faces were full of shock, and it was obvious that they were not a little frightened.

Liu Boshi explained to the ghosts and barbarians, saying that this is fireworks and firecrackers in the Central Plains, but they are just toys for celebrating the New Year.

In fact, when explaining, Liu Boshi also smiled bitterly in his heart, the toys in the palace are indeed too terrifying, and today, the old man, I can be regarded as a long insight.

"This, this, that aerial fire? Also a toy? Pu Gui's heart was still pounding, Rao He had always been shrewd and capable, and his mind was introverted, but at this moment, it was difficult to hide the horror in his eyes.

Lu Ning said with a smile: "It's my Central Plains New Year's toy, of course, it can also be changed to ordnance." ”

Liu Boshi's translation, after all, most of the ghost barbarians present here don't understand the Central Plains.

Lu Ning clapped his hands again, and after a while, two soldiers carried an ironclad man out and put it dozens of steps away, looking carefully, inside the ironclad was a scarecrow.

Lu Ning felt out the divine fire strike, and there was a loud "bang", and the ironclad man fell down in response, and the scarecrow inside burst into flames.

A few more ghost barbarian leaders got up, and the rest of the leaders were already a little numb, and they were not so sensitive, let alone pulled out their scimitars.

The scarecrow burned to ashes, the soldiers brought in the iron armor again, and the ghost barbarians were shocked to see the holes in the thick iron armor that were obviously newly knocked out.

At this time, Lu Ning had already taken the fire gun back into his waist, and the ghost barbarian didn't even see clearly what kind of artifact this Lord of the Central Plains General Academy used to have such power.

Can you shoot through such a thick iron armor, and can you still burn the people in the iron armor alive?

This, if it is against flesh and blood, against us savages clothed in blades of grass......

The ghost barbarians, the more they think about it, the more frightened they become.

Of course, Lu Ning did some tricks, and said with a smile at this time: "This thing is called Divine Fire Strike, there are long and short, the long one is more powerful, but the production is complicated, it is very rare, usually only the pro-army in front of the palace is distributed, against the most difficult enemy!" ”

"The pro-army in front of the palace of the Holy Son of Heaven, isn't it invincible in the world?!" It was Tohewu who spoke, the smartest warrior in the Jingu Tribe, and at this moment, his face was full of shock, and he was shocked to see a new world.

Lu Ning smiled and said nothing, which naturally means that what you said is very reasonable.

The little queen and Lan Chan glanced at each other, and they both had gloomy colors.

Lu Ning glimpsed it, and felt sorry in his heart, these two little girls must be pondering, if they set themselves up as kings here, angered the Central Plains Emperor Lao'er, and sent a team of muskets, how could they resist?

There are also a few ghost barbarian heads, with happy faces, such as the three big ghost lords who originally supported Herudun, but now they hope that the Central Plains people will have an incomparable deterrent power, so that the other tribes will abide by Queen Jingu's order to stop fighting with all departments, and they will have time to recover.
