Chapter Eighty-Seven: Wei Makes Wei Wuji
Just when Wei Kai was worried that the grassland tribe next to Luoshui would evacuate, Gan Lu Tan, the patriarch of the Bairong clan in the Luoshui camp, also had an anxious look on his face at this time, and he sighed with a sad face in his big tent.
"Patriarch, what should we do now?" , A burly man in the camp looked at Ganlu Tan, who was silent after returning from the camp in front of him, and said cautiously after a long time.
When Ganlu Tan heard this, he looked back at the two or three centurions in leather armor in the camp, and sighed even more in his heart, alas, he was not as good as others.
It turned out that just now, in the gathering of the leaders of the camp, King Yiqu asked Ganlu Tan about the Wei envoy again, but where could Ganlu Tan contact the Wei envoy at this time.
After all, although Wei had trade contacts with the Bairong people, it had always been Wei people who went to the Bairong people to trade, and the Bairong people actually did not have a direct channel to contact Wei.
Thinking of this, the patriarch of the Bairong clan, Gan Lu Tan, also regretted it in his heart, after all, when the Wei State came to unite the Seven Kingdoms of the Grassland, he took the initiative to lead the Wei State with his desire for profit, if it weren't for this, he would not have ended up in such a miserable situation now.
Moreover, when the camp was gathered before, Yiqu Wang Fa seemed to care for the Bairong tribe and scolded Ji Zhe, who was making a lot of nonsense, but in fact, he completely cut off the retreat of the Bairong tribe in the hearts of the other seven countries of the grassland, and completely tied the consequences of Wei's failure to go to the appointment on time with the Bairong tribe.
After all, in the camp, the patriarch of the Bairong clan, Gan Lu Tan, in front of the patriarchs of the other clans, personally promised that he would contact the Wei people as soon as possible.
Of course, this is not to blame Ganlu Tan, you must know that if the Bai Rong clan refused at that time, wouldn't it be a disguised recognition that the Bai Rong clan had other intentions in contacting other countries before?
"Well, what can be done? The old man can only go and beg the king of Yiqu", the patriarch of the Bairong clan, Ganlu Tan, said in a daze, of course, if the king of Yiqu is willing to help the Bairong clan this time, the Bairong clan is afraid that they will have to cut the bones and cut the flesh, but if they don't go, at that time, the grassland countries will attack it en masse, and I am afraid that the people will die and the clan will be wiped out.
Thinking of this now, Gan Lu Tan, the patriarch of the Bairong clan, even thinks that Ji Zhe's attack that day is probably premeditated by someone for a long time, after all, Ji Zhe is a violent character.
Thinking that at the beginning, the Bairong warriors stopped Ji Zhe from going out of the camp to loot, Ji Zhe did not get angry on the spot, and even did not say a cruel word, so he retreated to the camp in disgrace.
But no matter what, it is useless now, if it is wrong, it is that the Bairong clan has Baoyu, but does not have the strength of Baoyu, and the Baoyu that the Bairong clan has is excellent iron-making skills.
Of course, it does not mean that the iron-making craftsmen of the Bairong nationality are more skilled than the craftsmen of the Central Plains, but on the grassland, the ironware produced by the Bairong nationality is well-known and can be called an extraordinary treasure.
And with treasures in hand, there are naturally some greedy pretenders, but although the Bairong tribe is not good at fighting, after all, it is one of the eight countries of the grassland, and it is not a soft persimmon that can be easily handled, and this is not counting the other tribes that have formed an offensive and defensive alliance with the Bairong tribe on weekdays, but this time it is the Yiqu Wang Fa who wants the treasure of the Bairong tribe.
"You all go down", after Ganlu Tan finished saying and asked King Yiqu for help, his heart was like ashes. After a moment of silence, he said with a little anger to the centurions in the camp who were looking at each other.
After the centurion retreated, there was a sparse sound behind the tent, and after a while, a beautiful woman walked out slowly, and said to Tan Crisp, who was sulking, "Daddy."
After Gan Lu Tan heard this, he immediately changed the painful expression on his face, then changed his smile to the woman, and replied to the woman: "Bai Yu'er, you are here."
I saw that the woman was wearing a white dress, although it was a little ordinary, but under the background of the delicate facial features, small nose, and willow-like eyebrows, she looked fresh and refined, coupled with a slender figure, a weak waist, and a cute appearance, far from the rough appearance of Ganlu Tan.
"Daddy, what's going on?" Bai Yu'er looked at her father in front of her with a smile, but her eyes revealed anxiety and self-blame all the time, so she took her father's hand and raised her head and asked.
"No, no, my Bai Yu'er, as soon as Lao Gan Lu Tan saw my Bai Yu'er, he instantly had no worries", Lao Gan Lu Tan heard his daughter's question, instantly laughed, and then pretended to be relaxed and said.
"Daddy, deceit, Bai Yu'er heard it just now", hearing her father's words, Bai Yu'er, who was still a little coquettish just now, instantly threw away her father's hand, and then pretended to be angry.
When Ganlu Tan heard this, he knew that the matter could not be hidden from the daughter in front of him, so he comforted: "Bai Yu'er, there are indeed some things in the clan, but with the presence of a man like Daddy, it can be solved immediately."
"Really...", Bai Yu'er heard this, looked at Daddy who was patting her chest in front of her, and then said uncertainly. After all, I heard my father's helplessness in the back account just now, but my father has never deceived himself since he was a child.
"It's true, Bai Yu'er, your father is a hero of the Bai Rong clan", Gan Lu Tan saw that his daughter had believed his words, so he hurriedly said.
"That's good, then Bai Yu'er went to go to Bang to play", Bai Yu'er saw her father's repeated assurances, and the doubts in her heart suddenly disappeared, and then said with a smile on her face.
"Go, Bai Yu'er, you have to take care of your younger brother Qibang", Ganlu Tan looked at Bai Yu'er who was leaving happily, and then shouted from afar.
As Bai Yu'er's silver bell-like laughter faded away, Ganlu Tan's face was instantly covered with haze again. Alas, the hateful Yiqu Wang Fa not only asked for the secret recipe of the Bairong clan, but also the pearl of the Bairong clan, this is where Lao Ganlu Tan is anxious.
It's not that Yiqu Wang Fa is a wicked person with an ugly face and a lot of crimes, on the contrary, Yiqu Wang Fa is just as his ancestors expected, he is a king with great ambitions and a virtuous king like Ji Fa, the martial king of the Zhou Dynasty, but Yiqu Wang Fa's motive for wanting to take Bai Yu'er is not pure.
You must know that the grassland tribe is sparsely populated, and in order for the tribe to continue, women have the same tribal inheritance rights as men. That is to say, if the king of Yiqu marries Bai Yu'er, the descendants born will have the same inheritance rights to the Bai Rong clan as Bai Yu'er's younger brother Zheng Bang.
At that time, Yiqu Wang Fa had a reasonable excuse to intervene in the Bairong clan, and now he only knows how to be his opponent if he is greedy for fun and looks like a gentleman.
And Yiqu Wangfa wants to ask for Bai Yu'er, I'm afraid he doesn't really love her, after all, Yiqu Wangfa has been asked to marry four or five times like this, and he has annexed many tribes because of this, and those pearls that have lost the tribe's reliance have finally become Yiqu Wangfa's arbitrary toying items, and they will even be played with by the generals of Yiqu Kingdom.
Just as Lao Ganlu Tan sighed, there was a sudden shout of the Bairong cavalry outside the camp, and then I saw a Bairong cavalry wearing a sheepskin hat and a steppe man outfit broke into the camp, and then knelt down to Ganlu Tan and said: "Patriarch Qiyu, Sahan Centurion has found the envoy of Wei on the other side of Luoshui."
"What, is it really an envoy of the Wei State? Can you verify your identity? Ganlu Tan, who was originally irritable and ready to fight to the death, heard that the team he sent out had really discovered the envoy of Wei, and he was immediately full of joy.
"Patriarch, Centurion Sahan has confirmed the identity of the Wei envoy, and is now coming to the camp with the Wei envoy."
"Okay, okay, now you go and send someone to report to the chiefs of the various clans in the camp, no..... Bring the envoy to our camp first", hearing that Sahan had confirmed the identity of the Wei envoy, Lao Ganlu Tan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Now that the Wei envoy came to the camp, it was obvious that he was planning a good plan for the alliance with the Seven Kingdoms of the Grassland, and he was going to spread the news to all the clans in the camp, so he immediately called out to the cavalry who went to report the news.
After a long time, Wei Kai, who pretended to be an envoy of Wei, came to the Bairong tribe with the centurion of the Bairong tribe, Sahan, but he was also accompanied by the people of the state who were originally playing around in the camp.
"How did you pull that fiery horse just now?" , The fat little boy of about ten years old, riding his own little horse, surrounded Wei Kai, who was riding a war horse next to him, and kept talking.
"But Bang, Lord Wei is here to discuss with Daddy, don't make trouble on the side", Bai Yu'er on the side pulled his younger brother Qi Bang, who was chattering around Wei Kai, and said, but those charming eyes were not immediately gentle and elegant on Wei Kai's body, and the little ears that were erected also showed his doubts.
But when he heard his sister's words, he didn't mean to give up, and just as he was about to continue, he was picked up by Wei Kai from his own horse and carried to Wei Kai's war horse, and then he heard Wei Kai say: "That's how it was done."
As soon as Wei Kai's voice fell, Zai Bang, who was riding on Wei Kai's horse, suddenly waved his hands happily, and said with a happy face: "Wow, I have long wanted to ride a war horse like the wind like an adult, instead of that docile little mare", and a laugh suddenly sounded next to him.
It turned out that just now, the robber made a bet with the friends in the camp, and in order to prove that he was a man, he went to ride the high war horse in the stable in the camp without permission.
However, the horse is human, and will not let strangers easily climb on the back of their horse, so the brave robber was led by the frightened war horse to gallop around, which made Bai Yu'er, who had just arrived, suddenly at a loss, and hurriedly asked the soldiers around to rescue her brother.
But the frightened horse, it was so easy to stop, and suddenly several soldiers who wanted to step forward were knocked over, and they were faintly running in the direction of Da Yu'er, the situation was very urgent, but fortunately, Wei Kai happened to pass by, and his natural divine power instantly held down the crazy war horse and saved Bai Yu'er's sister and brother.
"Are you a fierce horse? I see you stopped the crazy horse in an instant, are you the Hercules of the sky? ....", the robber who was sitting on the horse was not honest, and raised his head to ask Wei Kai all kinds of questions, which made Wei Xingxing, who held him on his horse on a whim just now, depressed.
But fortunately, the patriarch of the Bairong clan in the distance, Gan Lu Tan, had already left the camp to wait, and Wei Kai also dismounted and avoided the robbery that was still asking questions.
"Patriarch, this is Lord Wei Wuji", Sa Khan immediately said to Tan Qiqi after dismounting.
When Ganlu Tan heard this, he immediately smiled and saluted Wei Kai cordially: "Lord Wei envoy, welcome to my Bairong clan."
"Wei Wuji, I've seen the Patriarch Tan of the Trunk Road", Wei Kai hurriedly saluted.
Looking at Wei Kai, who was humble and polite and aristocratic in front of him, and then heard Sahan's reply just now, saying that the Wei envoy was holding the token of the Wei Xiangguo Gongsun in his hand, he suddenly no longer doubted the sudden appearance of the Wei envoy.
After all, the Qin people, who had been fighting against the grassland people in the land of Xizhui all the year round, would not have nourished such a humble and aristocratic gentleman, and then Ganlu Tan took Wei Kai to his camp, and Bai Yu'er and the others returned to their tents in the camp.
At this point, Wei Kai successfully entered the enemy camp.
