Chapter 253: Catching the Wind and Washing the Dust
Fu Lin also understood the situation in front of him.
King Qiang's royal tent also appeared in front of him, and as soon as Liu Xin saw the royal tent, he immediately said happily: "Brother, my father's royal tent has arrived." Liu Xin swept away the haze and said happily, she has regained the lively and cheerful, frank and lovely Qiang princess.
Fu Lin looked up after hearing Xin'er's words, and saw that this was actually a tribe, all of which were composed of tents, just like a yurt in harmony with future generations, because the Xiqiang people still don't know how to build houses and farm land, and this is the clan area of Xian Lingqiang, and in the middle is the residence of the general and patriarch of Xian Lingqiang, and the largest of them is the patriarch of Xian Lingqiang, and it is also the location of the king of Xiqiang and Qiang.
Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo!
At this time, Fu Lin saw that two rows of honor guards were lined up on the left and right sides of the king's tent, which was the ceremony for the king of Qiang to greet the distinguished guests, among whom there were warriors, maidservants, and some Qiang soldiers who blew the horn.
Fu Lin naturally understood what King Qiang meant, of course, Fu Lin believed that there was also Jia Xu's credit in this, and Fu Lin felt that he had made the right choice to keep Jia Xu. As for the specifications of the ceremony for King Xiqiang to welcome him, Fu Lin didn't know what level it was.
"Brother, my father actually greeted you with the gift of welcoming the prince." Liu Xin said happily.
"The general of the big Han horse Zhengxi has arrived, and he has lost his welcome! This king is rude! Just as Fu Lin was observing left and right, and Liu Xin was whispering to Fu Lin, the old Qiang King of Xiqiang led the crowd over and said.
"It turned out that the old Qiang king greeted him, and he didn't dare to be it! Courteous! Fu Lin said with a smile.
At this time, King Qiang suddenly saw his daughter and Fu Lin's affectionate appearance, he was stunned at first, and then smiled happily, outsiders didn't know, and thought that Fu Lin and Liu Xin were really old acquaintances.
In this way, it was originally a ceremony to welcome Fu Lin, but now it has become a ceremony to welcome Fu Lin and Liu Xin, Fu Lin walked in front, Lao Qiang Wang accompanied him on the left, and behind them were their respective guards, and their subordinates, just like Dian Wei, Zhou Cang and two hundred Fu Lin's personal guards, as well as Lao Qiang's subordinates and guards.
However, there is also a beautiful woman of the Qiang tribe on Fu Lin's right, holding Fu Lin's right arm, and walking towards the royal tent with Fu Lin, everyone sees that this is not the princess of their own clan? It is also the goddess of all the men of their Xiqiang.
"General, please be seated." King Qiang said, and then said: "Girl, don't go back to your seat yet, what kind of system!" After the old Qiang king greeted Fu Lin, he saw that his daughter was still holding Fu Lin's arm and following Fu Lin's side, so he said.
"Daddy, I don't, I'm going to follow my brother." Liu Xin didn't care what Lao Qiang said, she still followed Fu Lin's side.
At this time, if Fu Lin doesn't say anything, he won't take Lao Qiang King in his eyes, which will not be beneficial to Fu Lin's future plans. So Fu Lin turned around, patted Xin'er's jade hand with his hand and said, "Xin'er, you go back and sit down first, we will have time to be together in the future." ”
"I don't, I'm going to be with my brother." Liu Xin said stubbornly. Fu Lin looks at what kind of person he is, he will have advantages if he has shortcomings, although this Qiang woman is really cute, but this stubborn temper is powerful enough.
So Fu Lin rolled his eyes, and said gently: "Xin'er, you are obedient, you go back now, we will come for a long time, and in front of everyone, we still have to save some face for your father." We must first resolve the crisis among your people, as for our affairs. It's going to be solved. Believe me. ”
Although Liu Xin didn't know what Fu Lin meant, she just identified Fu Lin, so she felt that Fu Lin was right to do anything, but at this time Liu Xin said very shyly: "Then, I listen to Brother, but what you promised me, you must do it." ”
"Don't worry!" Fu Lin said, at this time, everyone was seated, Lao Qiang King looked at his words, his daughter didn't listen, but Fu Lin's few words, he made his daughter obedient, he was both happy and jealous, and he was also jealous of men, especially the father loves to eat his daughter's vinegar.
But King Xiqiang thought about it, is this still good for himself, and besides, it is good to have a man who can control his daughter.
Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!
"Wine and meat!" The old king clapped his hands first, and the trumpet outside the door stopped at that time, and then he ordered the servant girl to serve wine and meat.
In the king tent of the king of Xiqiang, Fu Lin sat first on the right hand, and the king of Qiang sat on the first place on the left hand, but the main seat was empty, although the first Fu Lin was not the king, but his status and strength were not worse than the king of Xiqiang, and the second king of Xiqiang had something to ask for to deal with Lin. He naturally had to give Fu Lin some face.
Fu Lin also saw what King Xiqiang meant, so Fu Lin didn't say anything, it is not right to be polite or arrogant here, it is better to be silent and not mention this matter, Fu Lin's next head is Jia Xu, and Fu Lin's personal guards are outside the king's tent, Zhou Cang stood behind Jia Xu, Dian Wei stood behind Fu Lin, and outside the king's tent is Wang Thirteen's commander, and Wang Thirteen also followed Fu Lin this time.
And the head of the Xiqiang King is the elders and generals of several of his tribes, and there is a seat behind the King of Qiang, which is the position of his daughter Liu Xin, the princess of Xiqiang.
Yes, Liu Xin's position is very special, if it is an informal occasion, she can still sit next to her father, but on this occasion she can only sit, behind the king of Qiang, in the end, women in the Eastern Han Dynasty at this time, or low status, although the status of women in Xiqiang is much better than that of women in the Han Dynasty, but it has not reached the status of harmonious women in later generations.
"General Fu, the people of Xiqiang, welcome to our clan, please!" King Qiang took the lead in picking up the wine glass and said, and after he finished speaking, he drank it all.
"King Qiang is polite, please!" Fu Lin said, also politely.
Everyone began, you and I drank wine and ate meat, and from time to time politely to each other, the two sides learned about the customs and interesting things of the other people. Fu Lin also asked the king of Qiang about the Qiang people. King Qiang also asked Fu Lin from time to time to teach the culture of the Han people. Fu Lin's eloquence is not to be said, Fu Lin teased the old Qiang King with laughter!
Wine over three cycles of dishes over five flavors, in fact, there are not so many dishes, that is, the knife cuts the mutton, and Fu Lin has to cut it himself, this is a unique custom of Xiqiang in that era, basically the barbarians of the Eastern Han Dynasty are like this, but Fu Lin occasionally eats a good meal, that is, the seasoning level of mutton is average.
Everyone chatted, Fu Lin talked to King Qiang for a while, bowed his head for a while, sliced a piece of mutton, and took a sip of wine, not to mention that it tasted good, Fu Lin did not mention some sensitive topics, and King Xiqiang was also very interested and did not ask, because Fu Lin had this mind and knew that there were some things that could not be said in public, and King Xiqiang also asked Jia Xu to specially instruct.
However, Fu Lin and King Xiqiang did not talk about the key issue of Xian Lingqiang at all, which made Princess Liu Xin anxious, but here she was not good at interjecting.
Just when everyone was chatting happily, someone reported from outside: "King Qiqi, the patriarchs of various tribes ask to see." ”
"What? Who's coming? King Xiqiang asked.
"Qi Qi my king, the patriarch of my ten major tribes in Xiqiang, except for the king of Qiang, the other nine elders are here." The Qiang King's guard said.
