Chapter Seventy-Six: The Ball
Look at the churning beef in the iron pot and smell the aroma of steaming. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Captain Zuo didn't have the slightest desire to eat, but the enthusiastic Fan Zeng frequently raised his glass, so he had to cheer up and deal with it. Although Captain Zuo is an old fox, he is only the discovery of the old fox's experience. Fan Zeng on the other side is a fucking vixen, and the two sides are very unequal in terms of level.
"Captain Zuo drank this cup, Fan Zeng had been bothering the Huns for many days, and he was going back to Pingliang. Here, thank you for your hospitality. I hope that next year, the Great Huns and I will still be able to live in harmony. Do business together and make a fortune! Fan Zeng raised his wine glass, drank it all without waiting for Captain Zuo to speak, and lit up the bottom of two glasses to indicate that he had drunk it all.
Lieutenant Zuo was immediately in good spirits, this was the best news he had heard today. Although the last two sentences surprised him with some puns, the news of the Donghu people has not yet come back. Captain Zuo thought that Fan Zeng could not know. Even if the two Qin kings sent him confessed before he died, it was impossible to know. Because they didn't know that the Xiongnu sent people to contact Donghu.
"Hahaha! Make a fortune in business! Captain Zuo drank the steamed wine in his cup in one gulp. The people of the prairie just love this spicy, steamed wine taste in the mouth. I am in a good mood and I am refreshed when I drink.
All along, the side hustle of the Huns was robbery. Some tribes have even turned their main business into robbery, robbing the Qin people, robbing the Wei people, robbing the Han people, and robbing the Zhao people. Even they robbed, Donghu, who was also a robber, and the Yueshi and Qiang people, who were weaker than them, and other people from the Western Regions. Anyway, except for Pingliang, there is nothing on the whole earth that they dare not grab.
But robbery is not a good way to do it once and for all, such as having no food at home. But he snatched back a few pieces of cloth and silver that he couldn't eat. There is no trading hall on the grassland, so I have no choice but to go to Pingliang to exchange it for silver money, and then exchange it for grain. Many Xiongnu tribes used to barter, but now they are beginning to know how to save money. In particular, the copper coins of the Qin State were the most popular. The copper coins of other vassal states depreciated greatly because they could not be circulated in Pingliang.
There are even many robbers, to the point that the territory of other vassal states basically does not rob money. Of course, the gold and silver coins circulating in the countries of the Western Regions are still relatively popular. Because of this thing, it can be exchanged at the same price when it comes to Pingliang. The exchange rate is that one gold coin is equal to one hundred coins, and one silver coin is equal to ten coins. While the Huns praised the reasonable price, Han Feizheng scolded Li Si for blackening his heart.
Watching the Huns go to Pingliang happily one by one, the hearts of Zuo Dadu Lieutenant and Da Shan Yu were dripping blood. The things that I desperately grabbed were all taken away by the black-hearted Pingliang people. I finally saved some surplus money, and I was also exchanged for wine and Yun family food by those damn guys.
People on the grasslands have never had the concept of saving money, as long as they get enough food for their wives and children. The rest, it's wine. Some guys even ignored their hungry wives and children, and simply exchanged the looted things for wine.
Da Dan Yu and Zuo Da Du Wei sadly discovered, despite the efforts of the Xiongnu to rob. But apart from the large number of drunkards on the grassland, it seems that the wealth of cattle and sheep has not increased much. If you say more, it seems that there are only more iron pots that were originally very valuable. Now this thing is no longer a must-have for marrying a girl, and there is a tendency for iron pots to flood across the grassland.
"Why didn't the envoy stay a few more days? Let the old decay do the best of the friendship of the landlord! Lieutenant Zuo said very insincerely.
"Oh! Fan Zeng also wants to ...... for a few more days! Fan Zeng immediately responded.
Captain Zuo really wants to give himself a mouthful!
"No, Hou Ye will return to Pingliang from Xianyang. Pingliang still has a lot of official affairs to deal with, and he can only live up to the kindness of Captain Zuo. Fan Zeng looked at Captain Zuo's extremely rich expression and almost laughed out loud. The poor old fox was completely pinched in the palm of his hand by this middle-aged fox who had become a fine spirit.
"Oh, that's it! Lao Yu also received the order of Da Shan Yu to go to Pingliang to congratulate Yunhou on the joy of giving birth to Lin'er. How about we go together? Captain Zuo immediately climbed down the pole, for fear that Fan Zeng would regret staying in the royal court again. Next, the royal court will frequently shuttle between the envoys of the Donghu people and the Huaxia people, and Fan Zeng is really not suitable to stay here anymore.
If it was an ordinary person's envoy, the Huns would have sent them off a long time ago. Even if you stay here, it doesn't seem to matter. I want to fight the fox, but I don't want to make a fuss, this is not the character of the Huns. But against Pingliang, the Huns completely exposed their nature of bullying the weak and fearing the hard. Several times against Pingliang, the Huns were really scared by the Pingliang people.
It is precisely because of this that Pingliang has become a thorn in the side of the Huns. It must be pulled out quickly, whether it is Zuo Dadu Lieutenant or Da Danyu, they do not want a force on the grassland that can resist the Huns. This time, they are going to take advantage of the Donghu people. Then go and pick the ripe peach by yourself!
This time, it was Fan Zeng's turn to be stunned, and he didn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. Captain Zuo went to Pingliang, it was purely a weasel who gave the chicken a New Year's greeting and did not have a good heart. Even if the news on the grassland is blocked, it will not be closed to this extent. But it is really inconvenient for me to go back to Pingliang with Captain Zuo now, so what excuse do I have to find to not let Captain Zuo suspect it?
"Honorable envoy......! Honorable envoys? Captain Zuo called Fan Zeng twice, and Fan Zeng came back to his senses.
"It's naturally very enjoyable to be able to walk with Captain Zuo, we can sit around the fireplace. In the carriage, drinking and talking. Come on, come on! Cheers to this one! ”
"Uh......!" Captain Zuo's face suddenly turned ugly, although he was a good wine. But after all, I am old, and I have to walk for more than half a month on the way. Drink it every day, who can stand it. I'm afraid that if I can't reach Pingliang, this Mr. Fan Zeng will be able to drink himself to death halfway.
"Captain Zuo...... Captain Zuo! This time, it was Fan Zeng's turn to call Captain Zuo twice in a row.
"Oh, I still have to discuss the matter of departure with Da Shan Yu. Pinglianghou has an eldest son, and this gift must also be prepared well. If we can't catch up in time, we'll go our separate ways. Captain Zuo weighed it and decided that it was more important to live old.
"That's a shame! Come on, do it! Fan Zeng smiled evilly and picked up his wine glass again.
The smoky Captain Zuo was sent out of the tent by Fan Zeng, and the carriage and horses had just left the camp gate. Fan Zeng rushed back to his tent, lifted the blanket on the ground, and hid the two wooden boxes under the blanket.
Opening the wooden box, Fan Chang let out a long breath.
PS: Everyone misunderstood, I said yesterday that yesterday's monthly pass exceeded 100,000 and more than 100,000...... But since the fault lies in the Dragon King, in recent days, there have been many code words. Strive to explode more than 100,000 in a few days, and remember to vote for the old dragon if you have a monthly ticket.
