Chapter 107: Kedun's Adultery
Dulan Khan choked so much that he had nothing to say, and Changsun Sheng's words were soft and rigid, in fact, he was telling him that the Great Sui could support the Datou Khan and the Apo Khan to oppose his father Sha Bolu Khan, and with his father's strength, he could only bow down to the Great Sui and become a vassal of the Sui Dynasty.
It is even more unlikely that he, the new khan who has just ascended the throne, will openly oppose the Great Sui at such a time. Otherwise, as long as the Sui Dynasty continues to support Datou to compete with him for the overlord of the grassland, it is difficult to say whether he can continue to be this khan.
He glanced at his subordinates around him, resisted the urge to give an order to dissect the body of the damned eldest grandson in front of him, and laughed: "What the eldest grandson ambassador said is extremely true, the son-in-law should kneel down and worship the old man." ”
So Dulan Khan gritted his teeth, pushed the golden mountain and poured the jade pillar, knelt down on his knees, and respectfully bowed to the emperor's envoy in the hands of Changsun Sheng.
Wang Huaqiang looked at this qiē coldly outside the camp gate, today's wind is very strong, Changsun Sheng's voice is also full of energy, drifting along the wind from afar, let him listen to eight or nine without leaving ten, he sighed Changsun Sheng's wit and decisiveness on the one hand, on the other hand, he has been pinching a handful of sweat, Dulan Khan's heart is like a tiger wolf, and he has given birth to a different heart, and he can't answer a word well, maybe he will really kill the army, and then his little life will be explained here.
It wasn't until Dulan Khan finally relented that Wang Huaqiang's heart was put down. He looked at the Turkic cavalry on both sides, his face was full of anger and helplessness, his eyes were about to burst out of his sockets, and his face was swollen red, but he had nothing to say.
Wang Huaqiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, only to hear the eldest grandson Sheng began to read out the edict, the content was very boring, it was nothing more than Yang Jian, the son of the Great Sui, recognized Yongyu Lu's grassland hegemony, canonized him as Dulan Khan, rewarded the righteous princess with 10,000 silk silks, and asked him to make a good northern screen for the empire, and he must not give birth to dissent.
Dulan Khan listened to the entire edict with a blank face, and only the words of rewarding 10,000 horses of silk silk made his face look a little better. After listening to the edict, Dulan Khan bowed again, stood up, and smiled at Changsun Sheng: "Ambassador, Ben Khan looks at the silk silk you brought this time, it seems that there are more than 10,000 horses." ”
Changsun Sheng laughed, pointed to the convoy in the distance, and said: "Dear Dulan Khan, last year, there were many events on the grassland, the position of the Khan was uncertain, the various tribes attacked and killed each other, and the border trade with our Great Sui was also suspended for more than half a year, and our Great Emperor Xià heard that there was a shortage of silk and silk on your grassland, so he specially asked me to bring 100,000 horses of high-grade silk this time.
10,000 of them were given to Kedun as a make-up for Kedun this year, and the other 90,000 were to be traded in your tribe, and His Majesty the Great Emperor said that these silk silks were to be sold to the Dulan Khan headquarters, not to be cheaper than the other tribes. ”
Dulan Khan suddenly smiled on his face, took Changsun Sheng's hand, and said excitedly: "I know that His Majesty the Great Emperor has always been generous, come, Ambassador Changsun, let's go in and have a drink!" ”
Changsun Sheng smiled and entered side by side with Dulan Khan.
The official envoys of the mission all followed into the tent, while the guards dismounted, except for some handymen who left behind to watch the car, Wang Huaqiang and the others were dragged by the Turks to a nearby open-air pasture, where hundreds of barbecue grills had been set up early, and the smell of roasting whole sheep filled the air.
Every four or five guards were drawn together by an equal number of Turks and sat in a circle around a barbecue grill, while Turkic girls in leather skirts and miras sang and danced and offered flowers and wine to the Han soldiers.
Wang Huaqiang has seen several such welcome banquets, and he doesn't feel strange today, he is drinking mare's milk wine, while stuffing mutton strips into his mouth, but thinking about the next action in his heart, how to avoid everyone's eyes and ears, and connect with the An Sui family here, this is a problem.
Before Wang Huaqiang came out, Changsun Sheng had given him a bag and told him to open it only after coming to the Turkic headquarters, which explained the way to connect with the An Sui family, as well as the countermeasures in case of a critical situation, and now it is time to open it.
Wang Huaqiang thought of this, and said in Turkic dialect: "Everyone drink first, brother, I am a little anxious, go to the thatched house, where is the thatched house of your department?" ”
A black-faced Turkic man laughed: "I didn't expect this brother to speak our Turkic dialect, where is there a thatched house on the steppe, just find a place where no one is around, just squat in the grass!" ”
A rosacea-nosed and small-eyed Turkic on the side also coaxed: "That is, our prairie is the wind blowing grass and seeing cattle and sheep, don't say and pee, just get along with a girl, untie the trouser belt, and drill into the grass to finish." ”
In the midst of everyone's laughter, Wang Huaqiang stood up and said to a few Han family companions around him who looked dazed: "Brother is in a hurry, this time it will be convenient first, and you will come when you go." ”
The black-faced and long-legged Mai Tie Staff also followed Wang Huaqiang in Daizhou this time, and was stuffed among the ten sergeants to envoy to the Turks together, he drank wine and said with a smile: "Wang Xiaoshu, I found the thatched house and told the brothers, everyone is good to line up." ”
Wang Huaqiang's voice came from his fading back along the wind: "The Turks said that there is no thatched house here, just find a place with long grass and squat down to solve it." ”
The laughter behind him and the sound of the wine order were gradually inaudible, Wang Huaqiang found a secluded and uninhabited place, which was overgrown with waist-high weeds, he squatted down and quietly took out the brocade bag in his arms, these days he has kept this thing and the jade pendant close to the meat, because he knows that this thing is related to his life and determines the success or failure of this trip.
I opened the bag with a knife I carried, and a letter written on silk cloth inside jumped into my eyes: "Hua Qiang, after the top-secret information I have inquired in many ways, Princess Dayi and the Na An Sui family have an adulterous affair, this time to the Turks, I hope you can make good use of this point to make an article, if you can break the relationship between the two and make their affairs public to the Turks, then the big thing can be decided."
Although Turkic customs are open and there are no major taboos between men and women before marriage, adultery after marriage is a major crime in Turks, and the husband can execute the wife who steals and the adulterer without paying for his life.
In addition, the person sent by the An Sui family to connect with you is in the camel city market area of the Khan's headquarters, and the owner of a silk shop called Hartler is the person he sent to connect with you.
You don't have too much time, we will only stay here for fifteen days as planned, and the iron ore sample will be one hundred catties, and it will be placed on the car with the golden screen that the emperor gave to the princess of righteousness, and I will arrange for you to present this screen, and you can also take the opportunity to mention the matter of the pig iron transaction to them. ”
After Wang Huaqiang read it, he sighed secretly in his heart, and secretly said that this eldest Sun Sheng is really powerful, and he can even grasp the affairs of the Turkic Kedun and An Sui families, but he didn't say it before leaving, but he informed himself in the form of this kind of trick, obviously wanting to keep a distance from himself and make the relationship clear, in case he messed up here, he couldn't even affect the mission and miss the military affairs.
Wang Huaqiang took out the flint from his arms, lit the fire, and burned the silk book, and a puff of smoke rose from the grass where he was.
A few shrill Turkic voices sounded, and there was a sound in the grass outside, and it seemed that a Turkic man touched it, and the sound of the bow and arrow entered Wang Huaqiang's ears along with the words: "What person! If you don't come out, you will release the arrows! ”
Wang Huaqiang hurriedly stood up, he didn't even have time to lift his pants, he had eaten too many mutton skewers just now, and was excited by the cold mare's milk wine, his stomach was really a little uncomfortable, just now he was reading the silk book while straining, but he was not completely pretending.
It's just that he knows that the Turks are well guarded at this time, as if they are facing a great enemy, if he gets up slowly, he may really shoot an arrow, and he can't even bother to wipe his buttocks, so he gets up directly, raises his hands high, and says in Turkic dialect: "Don't get me wrong, I'm a ...... of the Great Sui."
As soon as Wang Huaqiang stood up, he was dumbfounded, only to see a Turkic girl with a bow and arrow in her hand and a garland on her head, wearing a good leather skirt, with a fox skin on her shoulders, and at a glance she saw the bunch of grapes on his lower body, and his face was immediately flushed, and he turned his face away all of a sudden.
