They walked for many days until they finally reached King Jerod's tent. It is surrounded by hundreds of tents, and the middle tent is the most magnificent and majestic, which is no different from the palace of the Han people.

And Ningxia Qing is also the first time to see so many northerners. Hundreds of people cheered in front of the tent and solemnly welcomed Ah Zheng back. The appearance of the banner being blown by the strong wind of the hunting grassland is as if there is a god descending from the earth.

Since Ningxia Qing stepped on the grassland, she has rarely seen people, so she has always felt that the Northland is vast and sparsely populated, but now she knows that in fact, it is only because the Northland people are used to gathering and living, so there are so few people in the non-gathering area.

After so many days, she finally took a comfortable bath, changed into clean clothes, and the smell that surrounded her for so many days finally disappeared.

Ning Xia Qing pinched Cuiyu's face and helped Cuiyu look at the wound on her face.

In the past few days when Ah Zheng came to the Yelu tribe, they have eaten better than before, and they have lived better than before, and compared with the time when they were rescued by Ah Zheng, they are less haggard and more ruddy.

Ning Xia Qing said with relief: "Okay, it's almost better, although I left a shallow scar, but I remember that you are not easy to leave a scar, it is estimated that it will disappear in a short time, if it can't be eliminated, we can still go to the doctor, after all, it will not delay you to see Dong Zizhen." ”

Cuiyu pouted and said, "Girl, I see, even King Yelu has come to greet Ah Zheng in person, Ah Zheng must be very powerful here, it seems that what we ask him to do this time will definitely be done!" ”

"Perhaps." Ning Xia Qing replied in a calm tone as much as possible.

At this time, someone came from outside the tent and said that King Yelu had prepared a feast to entertain the guests who had come all the way from the Central Plains. Ningxia Qing and Cuiyu glanced at each other, and Cuiyu said happily: "The girl can discuss the transaction with King Yelu now, with Ah Zheng, it will definitely be done!" ”

Ning Xia Qing glanced at Cuiyu and did not speak.

Ning Xia Qing walked out of the tent with Cuiyu and saw Ning San, and heard from Ning San's mouth that the people of the Yelu tribe had inquired that Xiao Jingyuan and others had been in the Mongolian tribe for several days, and the Yelu tribe was now discussing what to do with King Nalesh, maybe King Lesh could go to the Mongolian tribe to talk about conditions.

Ning Ningqing was a little apprehensive in her heart, not knowing what the final outcome of this matter would be.

Ningxia Qing and others were taken to the tent of King Yelu, and a group of people sat around it, with a feast and a few pieces of wine and meat. Unlike what Ningxia Qing feared, it was not all wine and meat here, but half of the Chinese food mixed with the dishes during the banquet.

I don't know if it can be arranged like this to entertain them, or because of many years of trade, Beidi has long had the habit of eating Han food.

Ning Xia Qing sat there, Cuiyu sat next to her, and Ning Ningqing suddenly noticed that Cuiyu seemed to be a little stiff.

She glanced at Jade, followed Jade's gaze, and saw a Northland woman sitting next to Ah Zheng.

Even when she was sitting, she could see that the woman was very tall, at least a head taller than Ning Ningqing, and she must have been long and jade when she stood up, and her posture was heroic. The woman had big sword eyebrows and big eyes, her face was full of heroism, and her goose-egg-like face was like mutton fat, and she was a very beautiful girl. She sat next to Ah Zheng and looked at Ah Zheng, her eyes were like water, and her cheeks were red.

Although Ningxia Qing didn't know the customs of the Northland, he could also see that the woman's clothes and ornaments were far more luxurious than ordinary herdsmen, and it seemed that she must have been from an extraordinary background.

Ning Xia Qing turned his gaze back, no longer looked at Ah Zheng's side, and tried to keep his expression calm, but there was already a burst of sadness in his heart.

Master Ning San happened to be sitting next to Ning Xia Qing, Master Ning San turned around and asked the translator behind him a few words, and then leaned over to Ning Xia Qing and whispered, "That is King Yelu's favorite youngest daughter Min Min." ”

Ning Xia Qing glanced over and knew that Master Ning San was talking about the beautiful woman sitting next to Ah Zheng.

But the woman was the daughter of King Jerod...... She knew that the Yelu tribe wanted Ah Zheng to marry a woman from her tribe, but she didn't expect King Yelu to want Ah Zheng to marry his favorite little daughter.

Now, things are going to be even trickier.

Ah Zheng has been frowning and talking to the people next to him, as if he is discussing some serious matter, plus this is the king's tent, Ah Zheng has relaxed his vigilance all over, so he didn't notice that the people around him have changed from Yelu Wushu to Min Min, and when he turned around, he suddenly found that Min Min was sitting next to him, and Ah Zheng was also startled.

Ah Zheng hurriedly glanced at Ning Xia Qing, but Ning Xia Qing no longer looked at him. Ah Zheng got up and walked to Ning Ningqing's side without thinking about it, and sat down with her on a small table.

The room was stunned, and Min Min frowned even more displeasurefully.

Ah Zheng arched his hand to King Yelu and said, "They have come from afar, they don't know the customs here, and they can't speak here, so I should take care of them by their side." ”

King Yelu glanced at Ningxia Qing, Xu was unwilling to let everyone in the tent hear, so he also said in a Chinese dialect that few people here understand: "Since someone will take care of them by their side, why bother you to do such a trivial matter yourself?" Why don't you hurry up and get back to Minmin. ”

Most of the people in the tent couldn't understand what King Yelu and Ah were saying, but they vaguely knew that they were talking Chinese, so they only spoke Han because they were worried about the presence of Ningxia Qing and others, so that Ningxia Qing and others would not feel isolated. Therefore, he did not notice that there was already some displeasure in King Yerod's tone.

But Ning Xia Qing could understand it, and he could also hear the majesty and displeasure in King Yelu's tone. She couldn't help but glance at Ah Zheng worriedly, but Ah Zheng only gave her a look that told her not to worry.

Ah Zheng raised his wine glass to make a toast, but said calmly to King Yelu in Chinese: "The king, I have already replied to the matter of Minmin, and I ask the king to take back his fate." ”

King Yelu looked at Ah Zheng and didn't say anything more, but the look in his eyes was obviously full of displeasure.

Min Min stood up, glanced at this side in annoyance, and ran out in displeasure.

After the banquet, Ah Zheng took Ningxia Qing out to walk around between the tents.

Ning Ningqing was very confused and didn't know how to face the person in front of him. At the banquet just now, King Yelu's attitude and Minmin's attitude, Ningxia Qingdu saw it in his eyes, and he understood it all. After Ah Zheng sat down beside him and Min Min ran out, the eyes of the people of the Yelu tribe during the banquet looked at her, and she also saw it.

"What do you think?" Ah Zheng looked at her and asked with concern.

"Nothing." She pulled out a smile, suddenly remembered something, pulled out the somewhat awkward wolf tooth from the neckline, and said to him: "You have never told me in detail about your life experience, you only said that your life experience is very complicated, and you can't explain it clearly, and you will tell me later, but I want to hear it now." ”

"My background?" Ah Zheng paused slightly, and said patiently: "My father is a wolf, and he sent me to a place not far from the Yelu tribe. ”

"As for the wolf fang." Ah Zheng looked at the necklace she was carrying in her hand and said, "This is both a relic left to me by my adoptive father and a thing left to me by my father. My father was very old when he sent me here, so he left me one of his teeth as a mark. ”

Ning Xia Qing was stunned when he heard it.

Ah Zheng added: "But most of these stories were told to me by my adoptive father, and I am not sure how many of them are true and how many are the imagination of the people here." ”

Ning Xia Qing sighed and said with some melancholy: "But you are good at fighting by nature, you have won countless battles, and you have a high prestige in the Northland, these are all true. Even because of this, it is possible for people to add a few strange backgrounds to you. However, you are so special, maybe those legends are true. ”

"It doesn't really matter if it's true or not, in my mind, it doesn't really matter." Ah Zheng said calmly: "For me, the important thing is the immediate thing. I can tell what is true and what is false. ”

Ning Xia Qing couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart. Ah Zheng can distinguish clearly, but it does not mean that others are willing to let him distinguish clearly. Ah Zheng doesn't want to be named those bizarre stories, he just wants to be Ah Zheng, but others may not allow him to be willful.

The next day, as soon as Ningxia Qing got up, someone came to her tent to spread the word, saying that King Yelu had invited her over.

Ning Xia Qing was more or less apprehensive in his heart. She could guess in her heart what King Jerod was going to tell her, but she was still uneasy. The other party is the Yelu King who is the most powerful on the grassland, and she also saw the other party's demeanor with her own eyes yesterday, and at this moment the other party summoned her alone, so she couldn't help but be worried.

King Yelu is in his thirties, with a very burly figure, a brocade dress, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a high nose and a wide mouth, and a square face.

The deal that King Jerod negotiated with her was exactly as she expected, but it also made her heart completely cold.

According to King Yelu, there are many craftsmen engaged in cloth weaving in the Yelu tribe, and in the north, the production of horses by the Yelu tribe is considered to be the top, and even the Mongolian tribes will buy a large number of horses produced by the Yelu tribe from the Yelu tribe. The Yelu tribe was also very discerning, and began to send caravans to the Central Plains frequently early in the morning to buy horses.

Therefore, in the Northlands, the Yelu tribe had a monopoly on almost all the trade in horses. Now, if the Yelu tribe had asked the Mongol tribe for a sale, the Mongols might have agreed.

And since Ningxia Qing is willing to cooperate with the people of Beidi, then, for the sake of Ah Zheng's face, the Yelu tribe is very willing to cooperate with Ningxia Qing and the Meigong County Chamber of Commerce.

However, Ningxia Qing can only get orders from the Yelu tribe, but not from here.

Ah Zheng is the child raised by the Yelu tribe, and now he has such a reputation, the Yelu tribe needs to leave Ah Zheng to revitalize himself, and it is impossible to allow Ah Zheng to leave with Ningxia Qing.

If Ningxia Qing is willing to stay here, the Yelu tribe can accept Ningxia Qing as Ah Zheng's side room. But King Yelu also knew that Ningxia Qing would not stay, just as King Yelu was unwilling to let Ah Zheng leave.

Sure enough, as she expected, the people of the Yelu tribe would not let Ah Zheng leave. What's more, now, even she herself is shaken by her and Ah Zheng's affairs.

Coming out of the king's tent, she stood slightly for a while, and chose to go to see Master Ning San.

As soon as Master Ning San saw her, he was angry: "Rare guest, why did you come to me?" ”

She glanced at Master Ning San unceremoniously, sat down, and said solemnly: "Things have changed, and now it's not just the competition between the Chamber of Commerce and the Public Office. ”

Master Ning San was puzzled: "What do you mean?" ”

Ning Xia Qing groaned for a moment and said, "This piece of fat is not only targeted by the Chamber of Commerce and the Public Office, but even King Yelu. Now it's a three-way game, so it's said that things have changed. ”

Ningxia Qing is not stupid, she can see that King Yelu originally wanted to snatch this line of horses from the Mongolian tribes.

So far, let's not talk about whether the Yelu tribe is an enemy or a friend to Ningxia Qing. But she knew that for Xiao Jingyuan, the Yelu tribe that came from the sky to steal business must be an enemy!

Maybe King Yelu can go and fight Xiao Jingyuan first. Although Xiao Jingyuan is the wife and brother of General Qishou, he is not General Qishou himself after all. And King Yelu's prestige in the north is not small, at least, King Yelu came forward to speak, and the odds of winning are greater than Xiao Jingyuan's coming forward.

As long as the Yelu tribe can snatch the order from Xiao Jingyuan, she will be considered half of the success.

As for the other half, I have to go back to the question of whether the Yelu tribe is friend or foe to her. King Yelu had almost said bluntly that as long as she was separated from Ah Zheng, King Yelu would be more than happy to cooperate with her, but if she did not separate from Ah Zheng, King Yelu would regard her as an enemy of the Jelu tribe.

Master Ning San stared at her for a while, and suddenly asked, "Is it that as long as you let that kid stay here, King Yelu will go to ask the Mongolian Great Khan for an order, and he will give you the order." ”

Ning Xia Qing looked at Master Ning San, not knowing what Master Ning San meant. Could it be that Master Ning San understood the situation in front of him, so he wanted to persuade her to give up Ah Zheng? Or did Master Ning San just ask curiously.

She raised her eyebrows as if she didn't care, stood up without speaking, and walked out of Ning San's tent without hesitation in the sound of Ning San's guests.

And when she walked out, Ah Zheng was standing at the door waiting for her, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

He just looked at him, calmly but as if assured, and asked, "I thought you were strange yesterday, what are you thinking?" I heard that the king called you over to speak, what did he say to you? Is there any embarrassment for you? ”

She looked at Ah Zheng, and she didn't know whether she was happy or sad.
