Chapter Ninety-Seven: Tribute

Murong Wild Waves' personality was very unpleasant, especially when he deliberately stepped on the calf of the ink wolf when he kicked open the wooden box.

The ink wolf who was kneeling on the ground snorted and frowned subconsciously, but he didn't move.

Qiu He got up, quietly took out a bronze vessel with golden light and gorgeous patterns carved from the wooden box, and presented it to Murong Quan, "Prince, please see, this is a gadget that my king got from Yandi a few years ago, and it is a vessel for eating." ”

Looking at this exquisite bronze vessel, Murong exhausted his eyes, took it and looked at it, let go of the calf of the ink wolf, and after a while, he smiled, "The metallurgical technique of the Central Plains is indeed exquisite, if you eat and drink with such utensils, it will definitely have a different flavor." ”

"The name of this thing is 甗 (yan) is divided into two parts, the upper part is used to hold food, called retort, and the bottom of the retort is a perforated grate to facilitate the passage of steam; The lower part is the mustache, which is used to boil water, and the high feet can be heated by a fire, and the cooking is so delicious that the prince can try it. Qiu He introduced with a smile.

Murong exhausted his hand and looked at it, and was finally attracted by the strange patterns on the vessel, "It is said that the patterns of the Central Plains utensils are very particular, what does this mean?" ”

Qiu He blinked, "This pattern should be a cloud and thunder pattern, the Son of Heaven swallows clouds when he drinks, and swallows thunder when he eats." ”

"The people of the Central Plains are really interesting." Murong smiled even more arrogantly, and threw it to the bearded man, "Take it and cook some meat to taste." ”

Qiu He smiled and watched the bearded man leave with the ring, in fact, he didn't know what the pattern on it was, so he made one up casually.

In fact, the pattern on it is the trace of the defects during smelting, but Wang Xu is really bored to engrave three simplified characters on it.

Dog food bowls.

Because this thing itself is for Xiaobai to pack dog food.

Qiu He took out a long knife with a unique shape from another box.

Murong subconsciously retreated, then let out a surprise sound, snatched the long knife, flicked it lightly on the back of the knife, and his face was overjoyed after hearing the dull echo, "Good knife!" ”

"This is also the first batch of divine soldiers smelted under the wise leadership of my king, these are all divine weapons selected by my king, and they were originally going to be paid tribute to King Donghu, but since the prince is here, it is better to give them to you first." Qiu He said with a smile.

Murong Duan touched the knife with joy on his face, and didn't seem to listen to what Qiu He was saying.

Qiu He didn't say much more, waiting for Murong to finish appreciating it.

"Uncle Wang is really too hearty, and he feels guilty about being a junior." Murong Qian smiled and put the long knife back into the wooden box, "This gift is too expensive, don't dare to accept it." ”

Qiu He smiled: "Then how about the prince bring it to King Donghu?" ”

Murong Qian looked at Qiu He deeply and did not speak.

"This is the wine of our king's treasure." Qiu He opened the third box and took out a bronze container from it, and after opening it, the aroma of wine overflowed, causing a sound of swallowing saliva.

"Fruit wine?" Murong Qian raised his eyebrows slightly, and tasted it unceremoniously, "The best fruit wine, good things!" ”

Qiu He smiled and said nothing.

After Murong exhausted two more sips, he put down the wine jar, looked at the other wine jars in the wooden box and sighed, "Lin Hubu is already rich enough to brew so much fruit wine?" ”

"My king doesn't have any other hobbies, just this hobby, as a subordinate naturally has to be satisfied, but Lin Hu is not rich, but there is no problem with worrying about food and clothing." Qiu He smiled.

"Uncle Wang has subordinates like you, it is indeed worry-free, no wonder he didn't receive the Donghu order, and he dared to raise the strength of the clan to go to Yandi." Murong Qian looked at Qiu He deeply.

Qiu He smiled, and brought up the gifts from behind, a pair of wooden and iron armor, and some delicately carved gems.

After accepting the gift unceremoniously, Murong was in a good mood, and enthusiastically stayed in the city for a few more days, and after letting the Bai Di Sang clan entertain them well, he took the group of beautiful girls back to the harem on the grounds of fatigue.

Qiu He followed his father as a messenger at a very young age, and followed him to deal with Lin Hu and Bai Di, the advantage of being young and precocious is that it is easy to please the elders, and in addition to Qiu's appearance and special status in Lin Hu Ministry, it is the main target of Sang's wooing.

Therefore, these Sang royal families can basically be regarded as Qiu He's elders.

Naturally, there is no sense of strangeness when greetings.

After some formulaic greetings, Qiu He was pulled aside by an old man with gray temples.

The old man's name is Zhou Kuan, and he is the current great witch of the Bai Di Department.

When the Sang family usurped the throne, the Zhou family could be said to have strongly supported it, so after the Sang family usurped the throne and became the king, the position of the great witch fell to the Zhou family.

Zhou is the descendant of the princess of Zhou Tianzi who married to the Fei family, and served as a great witch when he was in Zhongshan Kingdom, and later with the Yan land where Xianyu Baidi fled, after being divided into the city, he has been condescending to the Sang family.

However, the Zhou family inherited the most orthodox etiquette of the Zhou Dynasty, so it was very prestigious in the Bai Di Department and was deeply valued by the Bai Di king.

"Qiu Hexian's nephew has not heard from him for a few months, but he is in a hurry for your sister Hong'er, what's the matter? Don't want to join my Zhou's family? Zhou Kuan pulled Qiu He and said with a smile, looking like an old treacherous and cunning man who was ready to sell his daughter.

The corners of Qiu He's mouth twitched, and he felt sick to his stomach when he thought of Zhou Kuan's daughter who looked exactly like him and was as fat as a pig, but he couldn't refute Zhou Kuan's face, otherwise even if he had King Lin Hu as a gold medal, it would be difficult to move an inch in Qiancheng" Lord Wu Zhu laughed again, how could a boy and a slave be worthy of Miss Hong'er. ”

Zhou Kuan didn't frown, "You and I are of Chinese Miao descent, if it weren't for bad luck, how could you condescend to this group of barbarians, are you already willing to fall, boy?" Forgot the teachings of your ancestors? ”

Qiu He sighed lightly, "Lord Wu Zhu also knows that luck is not good." ”

Zhou Kuan also sighed, "The men of the Zhou family's lineage all died early, and there is only one girl in Hong'er, if you don't recruit a reliable husband, how dare the old man turn a blind eye?" ”

"Lord Wu Zhu is physically strong, so don't say these unlucky words." Qiu He smiled, "This prince Jie, how is it?" ”

"Wine bags and rice bags, I only know how to drink and have fun every day, and I have the audacity to occupy several beautiful concubines in Queen Baidi's palace." Zhou Kuan had a yin and yang smile on his face.

Qiu He looked at the other important ministers of the Sang clan and raised his eyebrows slightly, "They have no opinion?" ”

"Don't talk about them, even if King Bai Di comes back, he can't have an opinion, just a few women." Zhou Kuan sneered and shook his head, "For these barbarians, this kind of thing is not an insult, and it is not a princess anyway." ”

Qiu He shook his head, "It's too messy, isn't he afraid of causing King Bai Di to be dissatisfied?" ”

"But he's still quite measured, and he basically doesn't leave the palace." Zhou Kuan raised his eyebrows, "I heard that he is the favorite son of King Donghu, but because there is no power on the maternal side, he will be sent out as a nobleman." ”

"You can see that it's really different." Qiu He nodded thoughtfully: "It seems that the defenders of the city are not from the Sang clan?" ”

"It was taken over by Murong Quan's people, but there was no way, King Bai Di took away more than 16,000 soldiers in the clan, leaving some veterans, as well as a thousand regular garrisons, and this prince of Jie, directly brought more than 1,500 tigers and wolves." Zhou Kuan sneered: "If the Sang clan doesn't hand over power, it can't do it. ”

Qiu He narrowed his eyes, his eyes flashed with a different color, and he said respectfully, "My king has seized some interesting things before, I wonder if Lord Wuzhu is interested in taking a look?" ”

Zhou Kuan raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile, "It's just right, go to my house, let Hong'er meet you, and the province pesters me every day to inquire about your news." ”

Qiu He's smile froze, and he smiled and beckoned Mo Wolf and the others to leave the hall with him.

After Zhou Yu left with Qiu He, the rest of the Sang clan slowly dispersed.

A pair of eyes hiding behind the screen watched them leave one by one, then turned and walked through the courtyard to the more palatial harem.

In the palace covered with a solid carpet, there was a spring color, and those naked girls were entangled with Murong Exhaust, and the beautiful voices and the girl's coquettish laughter were woven into a song that was the envy of all men, except for a few wooden boxes in the center that were a bit of an eyesore.

The bearded man pushed the door open, causing an exclamation from inside.

Murong Quan, who looked dissatisfied, kicked away the entangled girl on his body, and said coldly, "Get out." ”

The girls didn't have time to get dressed, so they ran out of the room.

Murong Jian watched the bearded man close the door, the expression on his face instantly became submissive, and he stood up and moved out of the way.

The bearded man didn't look at him, but took out the knife in the wooden box, waved it lightly, and without making any sound, a corner of the wooden box was cut off, and he whispered, "Hundred Refinements!" ”

"If what Qiu He said is true, Lin Hu has already mastered the iron smelting technology, then it is not a good thing for us Donghu." Murong Qian said softly, as if he was admonishing.

"Go and check, the relationship between this Qiu He and Bai Dibu, I, Uncle Wang, really don't make people worry." The bearded man squinted, chuckled and muttered.
