Chapter 33: The Feast of the Ox's Head (1)

Yangzong led the delegation to the pavilion with Xing'er, Lin Shu and other envoys, but saw two rows of Tibetan warriors wearing felt hats, leather robes, and scimitars hanging from their waists standing in front of the pavilion.

Danba walked up to Yang Zong with a smile, bowed down and asked, "Lord Yang Zong has worked hard all the way, I don't know which one is His Royal Highness King Mu from Shangbang?" ”

Yang Zong looked at the two rows of majestic and mighty Tubo warriors behind him, and asked inexplicably: "What is the reason why the Danba butler is waiting in front of the pavilion with people?" ”

Danba was still smiling, and replied with a grin: "The general has prepared a banquet in the mansion, and he wants to wash the dust for the distinguished guests from Shangbang. We have been commanded here to await the arrival of the King of Peace. ”

Yang Zong was shocked when he heard this: Nasimo's news was really well-informed, and he already knew about it as soon as the mission entered the city. He was still hesitating and didn't know how to respond, Lin Shu stepped forward from behind him and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"I sent to General Nasimo to invite His Royal Highness King Mu to a banquet in the palace." Yang Zong had to answer truthfully in Chinese.

When Lin Shu heard this, he was also surprised, and he didn't know why Nasimo was in a hurry to meet King Mu. Although Lin Shu knew that Zhang Liang had defected to Tibet, he had listened to what Master Gongpot said, Na Si Mo was the first important minister in the Tubo court who held military power, and if the mission came and wiped his face, it would not be beautiful, so he said to Yang Zong: "Please tell this official that Lin is willing to accompany His Royal Highness King Mu to visit General Na Si Mo in the palace." ”

Who knows, when Yangzong relayed Lin Shu's meaning to Danba in Tubo, Danba shook his head again and again, and shouted at Yangzong in a hurried tone.

Yang Zong had no choice but to translate his words to Lin Shu truthfully, to the effect that the general only invited His Royal Highness King Mu to go. If the others go, he will not be able to go back to the general.

Lin Shu was furious, secretly thinking that this Nasimo faction was also a little bigger, and invited King Jingmu to the banquet not only did not come in person, but only allowed King Mu to go alone, could it be that he set up a Hongmen banquet?

He pointed to Qian Dashun and other Yulin sergeants beside Lai Xing'er. In a non-negotiable tone, he said to Yang Zong: "Lord Yang Zong might as well tell him that King Mu is a noble man of heaven and a consolation ambassador ordered by me on pilgrimage, and it is not appropriate to go to the banquet alone. ”

Seeing that the two sides were at a stalemate in front of the pavilion, the atmosphere suddenly became tense. At this time, Lai Xing'er in the mission team suddenly spoke: "My lord. The general warmly invited, and Xiao Wang went with them, so what's the matter. As the head of the mission, once he agreed to go to the banquet, Lin Shu wanted to stop him, and it was inconvenient to speak.

Shang Jing heard that Lai Xing'er was going to go to Nasimo Mansion alone for a banquet, and his eyes were red when he came, and he hurriedly stopped Lai Xing'er with his body. Screamed and said to Yang Zong: "You tell them, our family must follow my little prince to go together." Otherwise, even if the prince personally agrees, it won't work! ”

Danba listened to Yang Zong's translation, looked Shang Jing up and down with strange eyes, and saw that he was just a bad old man with no beard on his chin, so he nodded hesitantly.

Lin Shu was willing to let it go easily, and Shang and the two left with Danba. stopped in front of Lai Xing'er and insisted that Qian Dashun lead all the soldiers to go with Lai Xing'er. Danba was forced to be helpless, so he had to allow Qian Dashun to lead the sergeant to wait outside the gate of Nafu, and Lin Shu reluctantly agreed.

Where would Lin Shu have thought that the reason why Fang Lai Xing'er had to agree to go to Nafu for a banquet. He has his own idea that he is not known to others, that is, he wants to take this opportunity to find his mother.

The Tibetans were nomadic and had never had a fixed residence, so even the wealthy and noble families in the city of Luo were far from being able to compare with the mansions of the princes and ministers in Chang'an.

In the eyes of Lai Xing'er, the Great General's Mansion of Nasimo is just equivalent to the shape of a medium-sized family in Chang'an City. Lai Xing'er followed Danba through the door and entered the courtyard of Nafu, but there was a strong smell of livestock. Lai Xing'er subconsciously raised his hand to cover his nose, looked around, and saw that in the not very wide courtyard, there were more than a dozen yaks with long manes standing large and small, among which one of the most robust black bulls had a red cloth tied to his head, which was particularly eye-catching among the herd.

"Oh, little prince, you are a little late, but these cows are waiting anxiously!" A black-faced man in a dark brocade robe greeted him from the main room opposite, laughing and shouting at Lai Xing'er, to Lai Xing'er's surprise, although this person was rough and vicious, he could speak fluent Chinese, which was not inferior to Master Kampot in any way.

Shang Jing was annoyed that the person who came was speechless, walked a few steps, blocked in front of Lai Xing'er, and asked the person: "Who is the person who came, who dares to be rude to His Royal Highness King Mu!" ”

Danba saw the black-faced man come out of the room, already prostrate on the ground, Lai Xing'er had guessed the identity of the person from his actions and reactions, and without waiting for the other party to answer, he immediately hugged his fists and said: "General Meng is warmly invited, Xiao Wang is a step late, I hope the general will forgive me." ”

Nasimo couldn't help but say, stepped forward and pushed Shang Jing away, picked up Xing'er and walked in, and as he walked, he rushed to the room and ordered: "Take out the guys, and ask the little prince to hold a banquet for us." ”

Shang Jing was unexpectedly grabbed by him, and was about to step forward to snatch Lai Xing'er back from him, but he was hugged by Danba from behind, unable to move at all.

With Nasimo's words, two shirtless young warriors came out of the opposite room, one holding a bow and arrow, and the other holding a bright copper plate in both hands, with a glittering ox-eared knife and a crystal clear white jade bowl in both hands. The young samurai with a bow and arrow in his hand came straight to Laixing'er, knelt down on one knee, raised the bow and arrow above his head, and presented it to Laixing'er.

Lai Xing'er turned his head to look at the sturdy bull in the courtyard with a red cloth, vaguely guessed what Nasimo meant, stretched out his hand to take the bow and arrow, smiled silently, and waited for his master to give him instructions.

Nasimo saw that although Lai Xing'er was young, he was not surprised by the changes, and he had the style of a general, and he was secretly surprised in his heart. He tried his best to persuade Chide Zampu to put the actual interests that were about to be reached, and to make an alliance with the Great Yan Kingdom, which was in danger in the north, not to be deceived by the vanity brought by the reconciliation between the Emperor of Middle-earth and his relatives in Chang'an City, and to miss the great opportunity to open up the territory. But he never thought that at the small court meeting a few days ago, his idea was rarely refuted fiercely by many small arguments, which made him quite unwilling, so he wanted to take the opportunity of today's night banquet for the king of Mu to find out how the eldest son of the emperor of Middle-earth went, Wen Taowu, and finally prevented Chide Zampu from agreeing to this marriage at the big court meeting the day after tomorrow.
