Chapter 663: The Mysterious Guest
Naturally, the news channels of other tribes were not as smooth as those of King Alta, so King Changhe did not know where he was. The king of Altan had long known that the Warat tribe had promised the Jade Princess to besides, and the Uliangha tribe had married the most beautiful nine princesses in the clan, and he also knew that this matter had to be approved by the Ming Emperor before it could take effect.
King Changhe was ridiculing and couldn't wait, and deliberately left behind and privately entered the cave room with the Jade Princess, which is also in line with human feelings, but besides, he is not a greedy person, and he does not have the courage to ignore the emperor's authority.
Cao Delin They don't have the ability to do anything, they don't understand a word of Mongolian, and this King of Changhe doesn't understand a word of Chinese, and the two of them are all translated by an interpreter, and after saying kind words for a while, they all feel that they have nothing to say, and they are very tired.
The king of Alta was very well prepared, and had already set up a reception banquet for the Ming officials outside the city of Bansheng. The wine and meat are rich and the flowers are blooming, but Cao Delin and they are not used to drinking the wine outside the Saiwai, so they still let people bring their own wine, but the Mongolian-style roast whole sheep makes them admire, and they feel that compared with what their chef makes, it has a different flavor.
After the reception, everyone was welcomed into the concierge hotel in the city, and everyone was arranged to be in charge of hospitality by their side, so as not to have any inconvenience for them.
Sun Hu arranged for 300 guards to follow these officials as personal guards, and he took 1,000 guards to follow Zuo Ling, Li Xiangjun and Zhang Whale, led by the three ladies to the clan, did not participate in the banquet here, and when they arrived at the clan of the three ladies, they naturally had to eat and drink.
The rest of the guards stood by on the spot, and a general sent by the king of Altan led them to entertain them, saying that they would be resettled together after the arrival of the ministers, and now they could only be resigned to camp outside the city.
Over the next few days, the officials first made up for their sleep, and then began to go shopping, and they walked around the entire city of Bansheng accompanied by a special person, and bought what they wanted, and at a very low price. Although the herdsmen on the grassland are bold, these merchants are not herdsmen, and there are many treacherous people, but seeing their momentum, no one dares to cheat them on the price.
On the evening of the third day, a guest came to Cao Delin and Gavin Hu's room, the chief of a large tribe.
The chief closed the door with Cao and Gai and talked privately for an hour before leaving.
After Cao Delin sent the guests away, he frowned and said with a wry smile: "It's too bad, what kind of errand is this given above, it's much more difficult than negotiation." ”
Gavin Tiger smiled: "It's because it's difficult to do it, so the two of us have to come out, otherwise just send one person." ”
"But this thing can't be done, if it is known, our brother will be beheaded."
"It's not so serious, those big families and those people above, aren't they*this, do you see who has been beheaded?"
"These are two different things, everyone has a background, what do our brothers have?" Cao Delin still hesitated.
"Background? Isn't that our background, our backer? If something happens to us, they won't be able to run. Gavin Tiger said with a blank face.
"However, if Lord Qincha knows, it is estimated that we will not be able to go back to the mainland at all, and we will be beheaded directly here." Cao Delin was still worried.
"How will he know, don't worry, no one knows about this." Gavin Tiger said.
"Do you say that Lao Cui and Lao Xu are also like us, coming here with a secret mission?" Cao Delin suddenly looked out.
"Of course, among the people who came this time, who didn't see any shady deeds?"
"Does Chincha-sama have it?"
"You don't need to ask, of course he has, but the backers are the emperor and the two prime ministers, which we can't compare." Gavin Tiger sighed.
In fact, no one wants to do this kind of shady deed, but there is no way, people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, and officialdom is not a high-sounding place, if you want to mix up and be famous, or even want to get ahead, you have to break your teeth and swallow it in your stomach, and obey the unspoken rules in a word.
Both of them are third-grade officials, and the officials are big enough, but they themselves know that compared with the real bigwigs, they are nothing.
"You said that our Lord Qincha wouldn't really recruit relatives in the back, right?" Gavin Tiger suddenly asked with a smile.
In the past two days, they also learned about the transactions between Warat and Uliangha and the imperial court, they married the princess, and the imperial court supplied materials at the cost that they would no longer participate in the war against the Ming Dynasty.
For this transaction, these officials also felt that it was worth it, the materials were abundant in the interior, the imperial court lacked silver instead of materials, and the various tribes outside the Seychelles had a large amount of silver in their hands, as for the withdrawal of Wara and Uliangha from the war, it was worth the cost, I really don't know what these two tribes thought, the asking price was not too high, and they also matched their own daughters. Could it be that Lord Chincha really has such great charm that these two families can't wait to marry their daughters?
These officials also chatted about this matter during dinner, as a joke and gossip, but they were all envious in their hearts, and they were even more jealous and hateful in their hearts, why wasn't it me who was recruited.
After marrying two princesses, he has two territories and two princes outside the Saiwai, what a great inheritance.
"Lord Qincha will not be so confused, how can he recruit relatives in private, without the emperor's approval, he is tantamount to treason if he does so." Cao Delin shook his head.
He still understands the situation better, and feels that although he is young, he is steady and old-fashioned, and he will never make such a low-level mistake, not to mention that there is no shortage of women around talented people.
However, he has already formed an Anda with the future successors of Tatar and Uliangha, which in Cao Delin's view, is more important than marrying two princesses.
What about marrying a princess? If you can't fit into other people's clans, you're just a son-in-law, and you don't have any right to speak at all. Two territories, two princes, are equivalent to empty checks floating in the sky.
I don't know if the court has approved the formation of Anda with the princes of the two clans, and if not, the trouble will not be small.
For several days, almost all of the officials had mysterious guests who had a secret visit, and the guests had a closed door with the officials before quietly leaving.
The guards of the Sun Hu faction kept in mind the time of these people's visits and the time of conversation, what the Jinyi guards were doing, that is, to monitor the behavior of officials, and these officials also knew about it, but now they can't take care of this, after all, they are on a mission, and it is impossible to get rid of these guards and contact the guests outside the Saiwai alone, but fortunately, no one knows the content of their conversations, so they can't catch their handles.
Moreover, he didn't come to Bansheng City until the seventh day, and he didn't come alone, but with a large group of people.
After Zhao Quan and the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus Sect followed him to Bansheng City, they went straight back, and now beside him are the Khans of Wara and Uliangha, as well as the princes and princesses, both clans have brought three thousand Praetorian Guards, and the rest of the Praetorian Guards have returned to their respective clans, and the Dharma kings have also followed, they are here to protect the Khan, the prince and the princess, although they also understand that now everyone is in danger and cannot protect themselves.
But they followed, and nothing happened along the way.
Chaos still devours a large number of people every four or five days, most of them are herdsmen on the grassland, and none of the people around him dare to start, thinking that this is all the food they bring with them.
Every time chaos devours a person, there is an additional layer of shadow in the hearts of these Dharma kings, and now the size of the shadow area in their hearts has long been impossible to calculate, it can be said that it is a cloud of black, and it can't be called a shadow at all, it's almost the same as a black hole.
The king of Altan personally went out of the city to meet the Ming Qin and his attachés, set up all the honor guards, and the 40,000 forbidden troops lined up in a phalanx, and the king of Altan came with his personal entourage to see the situation.
After the two meet, the protocol staff of both sides arrange the etiquette, how to greet each other, and even how to move, etc., without going into details.
"His Royal Highness Qincha is young and promising, but this king has been admired for a long time." King Alta laughed.
"The prince is powerful, and the court has been admired for a long time, and Ben Qin sent his order to this place, just to discuss with the prince how to live in harmony, so that the mainland and the outside of the country can be the same family." Besides, he smiled generously.
"Very good, very good, this is exactly what this king wants." King Alta laughed.
At this time, Sanniangzi and Zuo Ling also went outside the city to greet them, not to mention those officials. After the past few days, the officials have some evil intentions, for fear of being seen through.
At this time, he was wearing a python robe and jade belt, wearing a scarf, and he was indescribably rich and elegant, so that he didn't look like the head of Jinyiwei, but really like a prince.
"Tsk, tsk, even His Royal Highness's dignified appearance is worthy of your princess, you don't suffer." King Tushun watched from the sidelines, and smiled and said to King Sali and King Tuquitan.
"Of course, it's not that our daughter can't get married, except for young heroes like a virtuous son-in-law, who else is worthy? We've got the right person this time! Ha ha. King Sully said shamelessly.
"I say, if you really want to withdraw from the war, I am afraid that he will not agree." King Tushun pointed at the king of Alta and smiled.
"My own family is in charge of our own affairs, why should we ask him to take care of our affairs." King Tukitan looked at King Altan and sneered.
"Well, I'm glad you guys think so, to be honest, the last thing I want to see is another war, all the good men die on the battlefield, what can I get except some property? I really don't know what you guys in charge think. King Tushun sighed.
King Tushun knew that King Da was determined to attack the Ming Dynasty, and he couldn't stop it, but whenever the war was about to start, he thought of the tragic death of his brother on the Great Wall, and his heart ached like a knife.
After the last war, their clan received a lot of goods and slaves, but in the eyes of King Tushun, even if he gave him all the goods in the world, he would not be able to compensate for the death of his brother.
It seemed to King Tushun that he would wage war only for the sake of looting and plundering the laborers, because what he gave and what he received was far from comparable, let alone the soldiers and civilians who died in vain on the battlefield.
