Chapter 370: Poison Ploy (Part II)
Similar to the two faces of the Japanese people, who are both brutal and humble, the Mongolian people also have two faces, warm and cruel.

The Chahar tribe followed this principle when it entertained the people of the Gai beggars who came to "give gifts". Even if the Gai Beggars are not comparable to the Chahar Tribe, they will be wholeheartedly hospitable, and of course, this may also be the intention of Heqisi to recruit them. Because they came to their tribe near evening, it was too late to prepare things for them on the first day, and it was not too late to wait for a bonfire feast the next day.
In this regard, Mutu was very grateful in front of Heqisi, and patted his chest several times and said that in the future, the Gai Beggars would definitely take the lead of the Chahar Ministry. At the same time, he was also very careful to ask whether the other party could be allowed to use the food he sent as the ingredients for this banquet, which could be regarded as a little affection from the Gai Beggars to the Chahar people.
For such a simple request, Heqisi agreed very generously. He felt that the things were his own when they were in his hands, and there was no problem in taking them out to entertain the original owner, not to mention that this was Mutu's own request. But he didn't know that he had stepped into a death trap.
If today is in the Central Plains, it must be a good day for families to be happy and reunited, because this is the annual Mid-Autumn Festival. But for the Mongolian people, there is no concept of Mid-Autumn Festival, but today is also a good day for them, after everyone is busy, wait until night falls, and the bonfire will burn brightly.
All the people of the Chahar tribe gathered around the fire, singing, dancing, and eating roast beef and mutton taken directly from the campfire. And some men also opened their bellies and poured mare's milk wine into their mouths, although this wine is not used to Han people like Yang Zhen, but for every Mongolian person, it is already an excellent enjoyment.
At the front of the bonfire, there is a large bonfire that is more than two people high, and on this side, the most important people of this gathering, Heqisi, Mutu and others, sit around the fire, eating and drinking, talking and laughing loudly, looking like a family.
He Qisi was swallowing a large piece of meat at this time, and then wiped the greasy from his mouth and said, "Mutu, do you think our Chahar Department is still thriving?" In this steppe, there are really not many tribes that can compete with us. ”
"The great influence of the Chahar tribe in the steppe is well known. In my opinion, the only one who can fight you is Altan Khan. However, he is old, and I am afraid that he will not live for a few years. Mu Tu hurriedly followed the other party's meaning.
"In that case, why don't you beggars join it?" He Qisi said, staring at Mu Tu with big eyes: "Don't worry, as long as you are willing to belong to our Chahar tribe, your power must be much greater than that of the patriarch of the Gaiqi tribe, and you don't have to worry about it all day long." In addition, your people will be able to live a better life. ”
Hearing what Heqisi said so well, Mu Tu sneered in his heart, because he knew very well that this was just a big word said by the other party in order to annex his Gaiqi tribe, if he really led the tribe to annex the Chahar tribe, he was afraid that the vast majority of the tribe might become the lowest herdsmen, or even be treated as slaves.
Seeing that he was silent, He Qisi smiled again: "And with Mutu's reputation on the grassland, you will definitely be able to find a good position in my department, maybe your brain hair will come back, and I will give you my current position." ”
The other party said this, of course, it was impossible for Mu Tu not to respond, so he smiled and said: "Actually, it is indeed difficult for me to survive in the Gai Beggars, if I can get the protection of the Chahar Ministry, it will be no better." As for my personal honor, it doesn't matter. As long as the Brain Hair Patriarch does not dislike him, and the friends of the Chahar Department are willing to accept it, our Gai Beg Department is willing to completely belong to the Chahar and become one of you. ”
"Haha, that's good, then we'll be a family from now on. Come, I'll give you another bowl. Hearing him say this, Heqisi was naturally overjoyed, smiled and picked up the golden wine glass, and said to Mutu.
Mu Tu's eyes fell on the cup that was shining in the firelight, but his heart was full of emotion. This Chahar tribe is indeed much stronger than its own Gaiqi tribe, and it is also too rich. I can only drink wine with a broken clay bowl, but the other party uses a wine glass made of pure gold, which is too stark.
But soon, he hid this little thought, smiled and raised the wine glass in his hand, touched it with the other party, and then drank the wine in the glass.
As the opinions of the people in charge of the two clans reached an agreement, the atmosphere of this banquet reached its peak, and the people of the two clans, as well as between the clansmen, pushed the cups and changed the lamps, and ate and drank heavily. There are also some enthusiastic and unrestrained, after drinking a certain amount of wine, they begin to get up, dance around the campfire, and vent their excitement to the fullest.
But none of the Chahar tribes were aware that although the people of the Gachar tribe were drinking wine and eating meat like them, none of them touched the mutton, which was roasted to a golden color and fragrant smell. Even if the Chahars politely put the mutton in front of them, they would pass the meat to the Chahars next to them without a trace, and only eat beef and other foods. And when they saw the Chahar people munching on the mutton, a strange smile appeared in the depths of their eyes.
A feast did not end until the middle of the moon, around the third watch.
Because the weather has gradually turned colder, and the grassland is colder than the central plains in the south, so even if everyone has a bonfire around them, and when there are tents to live in, most of them still go back to their respective tents to rest, and only those who are drunk because they have drunk too much will sleep around the campfire.
For a moment, the entire Chahar tribal camp was devoid of the previous noise, and only the occasional snoring reminded people that there had been such a feast before.
After a moment of silence, several figures appeared in front of the tent of Mutu, the patriarch of the Gaiqi tribe, and then several people entered the tent. When no one lit the fire, several people had already whispered very tacitly:
"It's almost time, isn't it?"
"The effect of the drug will not attack too quickly, but it should be effective in about four watches."
"Okay, then wait a little longer, let them live a little longer."
"Patriarch, I really want to ...... them all"
"Except for women, we don't have any left, otherwise it will only cause us big trouble. Also, those slaves may be of use to us, and we will see when the time comes. ”
"Yes!"
With the last sound, the tent suddenly fell silent, but the aura of solemnity became stronger.
Heqisi was very happy today, because he finally proved in front of his people that he was not much worse than his brother's brain. At least in this case of Mutu and his beggars, he felt that he was better than his brother.
Competing for power on the grassland sometimes depends not only on force, but also on the mind and mind. Genghis Khan was able to become the lord of the steppe, and it was not all due to his invincible iron horse. It is his personal charm that brings all the departments to their hearts, and allows talents like the Four Masters and the Four Dogs to gather under his account, so that he can unify the entire territory of Mongolia and then sweep the world.
In Heqisi's opinion, the most powerful in the steppe is much worse now. So as he grew old, his power quickly faded, and a large part of the Chahar tribe began to rise.
"If we want to become the strongest tribe in the steppe, we should learn from Genghis Khan and bring more talents and more tribes under our account. Today's Gai Qi tribe is just the beginning, as long as we get things done, more small tribes will definitely come to our account in the future. It's far better than beating them up and taking some food and supplies from them. As he thought, a smug smile appeared on his lips, as if his whole plan had been carried out.
This excited thought made it difficult for him to sleep for a while, and he even wanted to wake up the beautiful woman next to him and have a good "fight" with himself.
As soon as he thought about it, he felt that the blood flow in his body began to speed up, and this thought was even more difficult to stop. But just as he wanted to take action, he suddenly felt a dull pain in his lower abdomen.
"Could it be that you eat and drink too much at night and have gastrointestinal problems?" As soon as he came up with this explanation, he felt the pain rapidly increase, as if someone had taken a knife and stirred it in his abdomen. This pain made his face immediately turn iron-blue, and then beads of sweat the size of soybeans also appeared on his forehead, the pain was too violent, even an iron man like him couldn't bear it.
After a groan of pain, Heqis called out to the tent, "Someone! ”
A moment later, a soldier who was guarding outside lifted the curtain and walked in, and just wanted to ask him what he had to say, but found that Heqisi's face was covered with sweat, and the corners of his mouth were even oozing blood, and he immediately panicked: "This ......"
"Hurry up and call the doctor, my stomach hurts......" Heqisi used all his strength to express his meaning.
The man came to his senses and hurried out. But after running a few steps, his movements were also stiff, and the pain quickly developed in his lower abdomen, making it difficult for him to make the next move.
At the same time, the Chahar people who had fallen asleep were also woken up by the sudden abdominal pain, and their expressions were hideous......
