Chapter 656: Aid 6
>,!
In the main hall of the feudal lord's mansion, the burning earth dragon and the *strip-shaped fire niche are exuding smoky heat and warmth.
On the polished and polished precious wood floor, all kinds of maids and slaves wearing the same colored skirts are reflected in the figures of various maids and slaves holding utensils over their heads and wearing skirts of the same color.
On the four walls of the wooden reliefs decorated with colorful gauze tents and curtains, there are lampstands filled with whale oil and beeswax, which slowly release a faint fragrance in the bright blooming lights.
Compared with the diet of ordinary soldiers in the barracks outside the city, the dishes and drinks served here are undoubtedly richer and more exquisite, such as steamed sea abalone crab claws and large green shrimp wakata conpoy soup charcoal-grilled bamboo chicken stir-fried monkey head, and a whole roasted roe deer brushed golden with honey.
They are all the places where the Jin clan lives, and the delicacies of the mountains and seas that are purchased are quite good just by looking good.
Not to mention that even the ordinary utensils and furnishings are gilded and silver-plated with exquisite ornamentation, and have a unique style.
It can be said that although the Silla Domain is really not very good in the rumors of the outside world, as the princes of the Silla Domain, they are actually not lagging behind other places in terms of daily enjoyment and extravagance.
The guest and host are divided into left and right sides, but the atmosphere and mood on both sides form a subtle and obvious contrast.
As the master's side, the main ones sitting on the left were the important members of the Jin family, as well as the representatives of several other princes who were taking refuge in the city, they were somewhat depressed and depressed, but they had to force a smile, and they had nothing to say to say and kept complimenting each other, carefully tempting and currying favor with the other side.
The reinforcement generals in the right column were unceremoniously feasting on the case, and regarded the compliments and Ah Feng on the opposite side as some kind of noise to accompany the wine.
At this banquet to entertain those who came from afar, the host, Jin Zhe, who was in a rough mood and was unwilling to eat, tried a little nervously to control his face, so that he could not hold back a certain chaotic emotion, which could not be directly reflected on his face.
It's really indescribable, his mood at the moment, obviously the result of accidental salvation, but it can't make him feel the joy and joy of the rest of his life......
He even wanted to blame someone, someone who was kind but obviously did something wrong, but he couldn't express it, for fear that it would be self-defeating and cause greater right and wrong and accidents.
After all, his prior arrangement was somewhat selfish and tending to his interests.
But I never thought that as some kind of tinder and retreat, the group of people who escaped from Rajin Port. Because of the wind and waves, the ship deviated from the course, and then ran aground on the shore and sunk, and fell into the hands of the nearby Huaidong regime, and then asked for help on its own.
The other party really led the troops to kill without delay. Therefore, from beginning to end, a certain feeling of unusually absurdity has always lingered in the bottom of his heart,
Because of geography, these Silla princes, who were thousands of miles away, also paid tribute to Guangfu, but they never really expected that the Southern Liang would be able to do anything else for themselves except the canonization and reward of routine titles, as well as the convenience of corresponding maritime trade.
However, it is obvious that this habit and cognition have been easily broken because of the existence of Huaidong Town.
Of course, in fact, with the successive victories of the Southern and Northern Expeditions earlier, the princes of these Silla domains were not unmoved to stabilize and lose money for generations.
Compared with Anton's strong feudal clans, they are cramped in a corner of the peninsula, although they do not have the ability and capital to leverage the current situation, but it is not a problem to add icing on the cake to the victor who dominates the world.
This also contributed to the opportunity for Jin Zhe to flee in disguise, under the dangerous situation that the dynasty may fall at any time, who can manage it, and the son of a remote border domain left his post without permission.
It's a pity that the princes of the Northern Sai Dynasty entered the customs with countless fans, so that the Southern Dynasty saw that the great cause of entering the Central Plains had fallen short, and the Northern Dynasty, which had only half a breath left in Luodu City, regained its life and relieved itself.
As a result, the situation in the world has become confusing and contentious again, and the only change is that there is an additional Huaidong Town between Huanghuai and Huai, which takes advantage of the geographical advantage to replace the former Dengzhou Town, and does business with the East China Sea domains, which is even more enjoyable.
Now, this Huaidong Town, which has always behaved on the sea route and is only interested in business, has finally made a difference and acted after several years of dormancy.
Compared with those princes and vassal families who were contemptuously called the rich people of the soil and the turtles and mud legs of the inner 6, although they also had the same surname as Jin, the Haiyang Jin clan did not intend to belong to a more civilized type in the profit-making and disguised exchanges of foreign trade.
Compared with other local clans who have lived in their own family for too long, their news and vision are still a little closed and sluggish, so that they only regard the other party who crosses the sea as a local clan that can easily be treated and dealt with by surprise assistance and indirect foreign alliances;
As the family's candidate for foreign affairs, he has been paying attention to the changes in the situation in the Northland, so he was even a little frightened.
That was the Great War between the North and the South, which entered the city of Luodu, and single-handedly fought out of the tide of those Northern Saifanhu, and finally occupied the eastern part of Huaibei Province.
It's like the smell of blood from a pack of wolves, but it attracts a giant crocodile ashore.
According to the tone of the other party, at present, there are only tens of thousands of horses and horses, what are you kidding, the "invincible" that those generals of the Northern Dynasty passed on by word of mouth, how can they be so easy to get along with.
Not to mention the combined size of the Jin clan in the heyday, in front of the prestigious other party, it is not worth mentioning at all, even if it is the Mengshan thief who ravaged the land of the two realms and ten counties, it seems that it is not enough for the other party to see.
If you are not cautious and careful, it may be difficult to say in other places, and the Jin family, which is close at hand, may be the end of being destroyed overnight and being enslaved overseas.
Therefore, he is more willing to believe that if the other party crosses the sea with great fanfare, it is naturally a great plan, and it is really not allowed to be slack.
But he must also pretend not to know and try to cooperate with all the requirements of the other party, without letting the other party notice the slightest abnormality or feel a little dissatisfied and negligent.
Since it is impossible to resist in a short period of time, the only way to do this is to make a gesture of obedience with all your heart, which is also a little helpless for the families of the Silla Domain, but it is a consistent way of survival.
But from the perspective of this full cooperation, since the other party is prepared and has a long-term plan, the plan and focus will certainly not be just a corner of the Kim family, maybe this is the turnaround and luck that the Kim family needs.
At least there is only one Haiyang City left, and even the Jin Clan, which is still in the hands of the other party and other key points such as the city defense treasury, has nothing more to lose. Not to mention, the remnants of the other families who fled.
Thinking of this, Jin Zhe couldn't help but squint his eyes, looking at the delegates in attendance, hovering over their flushed or smiling faces, mixed with all kinds of anxiety and urgent anticipation and complex feelings.
They already have nothing, so it must be easier for them to make up their minds than they do for themselves.
But at least, his side still has the convenience and first hand of the nominal master.
As for the former head of the family whose whereabouts are unknown, at this moment, he seems to have forgotten this question for the time being......
The public welcome feast is followed by a more intimate time for a private private meeting.
"Vassal Jin Zhe visits Luo Dashuai......"
The other party's posture and figure are very low, and he looks like a more pragmatic person.
"This is a reward for your ministry's Chen Tiao, and please take a look at the marshal......"
Then there was naturally a young man next to him, and he read it out on the spot.
"Three thousand taels of gold, 20,000 taels of silver, three hundred pieces of east pearls, and a bucket of variegated pearls,......"
"The red fox and the black fox are each two hundred collars...... Three hundred minks"
"Fifty old ginseng, one hundred catties of dried ginseng......" ......
It seems that he has tried every means to collect his private pockets and dedicate himself to the front. It seems that these princes of Silla, although they have a reputation for being poor and barren, have a very rich family, I secretly thought to myself.
"Huaizhen rushed to the rescue, and the family tried their best to repay the ...... at that time"
He continued.
"It's just that the Jin family is narrow and poor, and can only rely on a little sea trade ......"
"It's limited for a while, and I ask the marshal to ......forgive me."
"Your clan has a heart......
I nodded.
"In addition, Catalpa."
He waved his hand again, and the curtain outside the door was lifted, revealing several well-dressed women, the lights of the room shining on their grease-painted faces, cowering with a certain forced smile.
Not only did I secretly sigh, but I couldn't help but think of a legend about the openness or erosion of relations among the princes of the Northlands, such as the fashion of letting concubines other than the main wife entertain important guests.
Of course, if the guest is satisfied, the person who sleeps with the bed will be wrapped up in clothes and accessories as one of the gifts for the guest to appreciate.
Moreover, if the guest is strong and important enough, even if it is a wife, it is not impossible to consider taking it out to entertain guests, but this is another style of painting and plot exhibition.
"It's cold, and I admire it...... This is my Kim daughter. A little bit of loneliness"
He was still explaining in fits and starts. It's really hard for him, as the head of the family, to come out and pimp his relatives and sisters in person. "Enough ......"
I finally opened my mouth and said,
"Am I the kind of insatiable people who are greedy...... Let them all go down."
Well, in fact, this kind of online photo that seems to have been over-photographed in later generations, and even the makeup style can't recognize the original look, and the dress that is wide like a hood and can't see the difference between waist and chest at all, is really unappetizing.
In addition, I don't know why just now, I feel a strange sense of disobedience behind me, like Mang staring at me on his back. In the dark, I only felt that if I was hungry and smiled, there would be something dangerous and terrible, and it was not until I scolded and refused that this sense of disobedience disappeared completely as if relieved.
Then there was no one else in the left and near, and I didn't speak anymore, but I just looked at Jin Zhe with a blank face, until the fine sweat on his head slowly soaked his sideburns, and then he said word by word.
"The sons have found an exit to a secret passage on the outskirts of the city,"
"This ......"
He was a little overwhelmed
"To prevent any spies from getting into ......"
I'm understated
"I'm going to let you bring someone to block it......"
"What do you think......"
His face changed drastically, but he was squeaky and speechless.
"Forget it......"
I waved my hand in a deliberate manner.
"I'll leave the rest of the hand to you at will."
After the thoughtful other party withdrew.
"Three, ah......"
I thought about it for a moment, then turned around, and said earnestly behind the curtain,
"Warming the bed is also one of the skills necessary for a personal maid......"
"Can you do that...... Otherwise, I'll have to find someone else."
The next day, I still saw the former lord and the current head of the clan who were depressed but came to thank him, but the acting head of the family, Kim Chol, was gone.
He really didn't have the ruthlessness and determination, otherwise he would be the only one in charge of the family.
