Chapter 133 Crossing the River Reconnaissance (4)

A bonfire is lit on the shores of the lake, and the aroma of roasted game fills the nose. Su Meiduo and the maids were evenly spreading the condiments given by God on the hares and pheasants, slowly turning to roast the game, while Tianci and Niu Zhong were standing in the shallow water with their harpoons to catch fish. The rivers and lakes of the Far East are rich in fish species, and there are many large ones. Rongbu's eating habits make them not very good at cooking fish, most of them are boiled or grilled, and they don't use condiments, at most they just a handful of salt. However, this also maintains the freshness of the wild fish, but Rongbu does not know how to remove the fishy line, so the fish always tastes fishy.

Of course, Niu Tianci knew how to make the fish more delicious, Tianci and Niu Zhong caught more than a dozen large and small fish after a while, and cleaned up the fish with the help of the lake, and Tianci picked wild onions, wild celery and other wild vegetables from the grass, set up a large pot to make stewed fish, and smeared those small fish with condiments and roasted them on the branches.

Su Meiduo had never seen a man who could cook like Tianci, she watched Tianci skillfully busy, and pointed out Niu Zhong and those maids from time to time. Su Meiduo couldn't control her desire to get close to Niu Tianci, and Su Meiduo, who had never done housework, leaned on Tianci's side and asked Tianci to teach herself how to grill fish. God's gentle words and careful care made Su Meiduo feel different in her heart. This feeling is so intoxicating, so reluctant to give up.

A team of golden wolves rode in the distance, and a deep voice came.

"Mei Duo, what are you doing delicious, it's delicious. My brother is hungry, can I try these delicious foods from you? ”

"Brother, you're here, is the ceremony over? Come and eat, these are all made by Cui Ci. Come and taste it, and the high priest will taste it. ”

Surhu and Mullen turned over and dismounted and sat down in front of Sumedo's small tent, waiting for Sumeduo to bring them delicious food. Su Meiduo was very happy now, and brought the roasted hare and pheasant over as if offering treasure, and also made a large pot of fish soup, and served it to Su Erhu and Mu Lun with his own hands. You can bring delicious food made by yourself to your loved ones. Su Meiduo liked it from the bottom of her heart, she looked at the gobbling up Su Erhu and Mu Lun, and then looked at Niu Tianci who was still busy on the side, and suddenly felt that this was really like a family dinner.

"Oh, it's delicious, I didn't expect my sister's craftsmanship to be so good, I will often make such delicious food for my brother in the future."

"Brother, this is all done by Cui Ci, I just learned it."

"Oops. There is no reason to let guests cook, we don't have such hospitality in Dongrong. Cui Ci, come and eat together. ”

Niu Tianci walked over and sat down with a smile, facing the two rulers of Dongrong, the Great Khan and the High Priest, Niu Tianci looked neither humble nor arrogant, calm and calm.

"Great Khan, High Priest, Cui Ci brought fine wine, please ask the Great Khan and the High Priest to taste it."

"Hahaha. Well, they all say that Dayan's wine is good. The Great Khan and I really haven't drunk much. Cui Shaodong, thank you for the wine. ”

Mullen took the bowl and took a deep breath, the mellow fragrance of apricot blossoms rushing into his nostrils.

"Good wine, really good wine, more mellow than our spirits. Great Khan, come and taste it. ”

Surhu also did the same as Mullen. He took the wine bowl and said to Niu Tianci: "Cui Ci, we Dongrong are never stingy with true friends, and we also like people who are straightforward and happy. Your goods are what we need, and Ben Da Khan will definitely give you a suitable price. Come, let's make this bowl of wine together. ”

Tianci smiled slightly and said, "The two are noble. It should be Cui Ci who respects the two first, and Cui Ci who does it first. ”

A large bowl of wine was poured into Tianci's mouth, and Tianci turned the wine bowl upside down for Su Erhu and Mu Lun to see, and there was no wine left in the bowl.

The ten-year-old apricot blossom spring is already mellow, and the big bowl is as much as half a catty, Niu Tianci does not change the color of dry noodles in one sip, even if this style is known for being able to drink spirits, Su Erhu and Mu Lun, they can't help but secretly admire.

Su Erhu and Mu Lun also drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp, and as soon as the wine was in their stomachs, a fierce fire rushed up down the esophagus, and Su Erhu and Mu Lun hiccuped together.

Hahahaha, the three of them laughed together, and Su Meiduo naturally knelt beside Tianci and poured wine for the three of them. Su Erhu looked at Su Meiduo, who was made side by side with Tianci, and secretly admired in his heart, it was really a natural pair.

"Cui Ci, come to eat meat and drink wine, you're welcome, you can drink at first glance, let's have a good drink today." By the way, Cui Ci, why didn't you go to the army if you were so good at martial arts, but started a business instead. Could it be that you Dayan are even masters of business? ”

Su Erhu and Tianci touched the wine bowl, and the two of them drank half of the bowl in one gulp.

"Great Khan, my family says that it is our own business, and what our Cui family does is a business that cannot be put on the table. Those who do our job will inevitably make enemies and encounter robbers or something, so having a good martial arts can at least save their lives. If you lose your money, you can earn it again, but if your life is gone, you will have nothing. Since I was a child, I have been looking for famous teachers to learn martial arts, and I came to Dongrong to see if there was any big business to do. Great Khan, our Cui family and Dongrong have always been close, and we will ask the Great Khan to support him in the future. ”

"Hahaha, that's nature. But it's a pity that your martial arts are just a businessman, I don't know if you are interested in coming to my Dongrong to be an official, you are an official in Dongrong, you can not only achieve meritorious deeds, but also take care of your family business, isn't it the best of both worlds? ”

"The Great Khan forgives Cui for saying bluntly, I came to Dongrong this time, in addition to the fact that the steward of Hailizi was more enthusiastic about me, everywhere Cui went, the soldiers and civilians of the Rong Department all looked at each other coldly, Cui was very entangled in his heart, I think it is better to forget it about being an official in Dongrong."

"Oh? If so? The high priest should investigate carefully, and in the future, we must treat friends like Brother Xuanxian as our own brothers. The subordinates have resentment towards Dayan, but they can't distinguish between good and bad, which hurts the hearts of their friends. ”

"What the Great Khan said is that when I go back, I will issue a decree that my subordinates must treat friends like Cui Shaodong's family with courtesy."

Mu Lun agreed with a smile, Niu Tianci laughed and didn't say anything more. The words of Su Erhu and Mu Lun are for Tianci, as for whether to do it or not, I don't know. Not to mention Niu Tianci, even if the real Cui family is in the minds of the top leaders of Dongrong, it may not be important enough to make the entire Rong Department respectful.

Surhu and Muren glanced at each other. The evaluation of Niu Tianci in the hearts of the two has reached a new level. Although this Cui Ci is young, he is sophisticated and calm, and he can't be moved by a few heart-warming words, it seems that this person is quite deep. Su Erhu drank the wine in the bowl with Tianci again, and he put down the bowl and looked at Tianci.

"Brother Xian, I don't know if you have heard of Niu Tianci?"

"I've heard that the Great Khan was defeated at his hands, didn't he?"

As soon as the words came out. The golden wolf riders beside Su Erhu couldn't help but widen their eyes angrily, and they all put their hands on the handle of the knife.

"What are you going to do, this is my guest, don't be presumptuous, let me stay away."

Su Meiduo pinched her waist and crossed her eyebrows to ride at the golden wolf, but when she turned her face, she smiled gently at the godsend.

"Don't be afraid, these are my guards."

Su Erhu and Mu Lun glanced at each other, and with a wave of his hand, ordered the Golden Wolf Riders to retreat.

"Brother Xuanxian, my guards are all rough people. You don't care. Can you tell me about the cow godsend? ”

"Yes. Presumably, the Great Khan also knows something about Niu Tianci, this person became famous as a young man, and he has both civil and military skills. He also won the trust of His Majesty the Great Yan Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, which is why he dared to mobilize the Zhenbei Army. It's just that when a young man becomes famous, and he is in power, he will inevitably be arrogant, and after a long time, he will inevitably be stubborn and can't listen to others, and the Great Khan can do something at this point. ”

"Oh? Will the plan be settled? ”

"We Dayan have a saying: hold high and fall hard. The meaning of this sentence is to hold a person high and make him fluttering. Full of confidence. Then see the opportunity to fall down hard, so that the person will never be able to turn over. That's what you call for killing. ”

"Clever plan, how do you do that?"

"The Great Khan thinks about what he is most worried about his subordinates, and he knows what to do."

Su Erhu lowered his head and thought carefully, but Mu Lun stroked his beard and nodded and smiled, his eyes were full of appreciation when he looked at Niu Tianci.

"Brother Xian, I really can't think of it for my brother. Please also ask the virtuous brother to solve his doubts. ”

After a long time, Su Erhu raised his head and humbly asked the heavens for advice. Niu Tianci laughed and said eight words.

"The merit is high and the master is shocked, and the tail is not lost."

Su Erhu immediately understood what Niu Tianci meant, and he and Mu Lun slapped on the side.

"Haha, what the young owner said is right. It was precisely because Emperor Dayan was suspicious that he refused to use Yan Chengyu. This is a bad thing for Dayan, but it is indeed an opportunity for me Dongrong. The soldiers of Dayan are indeed loyal and brave, and they obey the emperor's words, which is pitiful and pathetic. ”

Mu Lun proudly stated his opinion, and Su Erhu nodded in agreement. He took Tianci's hand and said: "Cui Ci, you stay in Dongrong, as long as you stay in Dongrong, I will worship you as the governor of Dongrong, which is equivalent to the military department of your Dayan." Dongrong's army is mobilized with you, and the battle plan against Dayan is up to you, and it is not impossible to crown you king in the future. ”

In the face of the temptation of such a high-ranking official, Tianci still has a calm face. Su Meiduo was very anxious in her heart, she couldn't care about being reserved, shaking her arm, expecting that Tianci would quickly agree.

"The Great Khan's love Cui Ci comprehends, Cui wants to ask the Great Khan, Cui is a Yan native who controls the military and political power of Dongrong, is the Great Khan not worried at all?"

"Hehe, this great khan is unsuspicious, I treat you with sincerity, will you betray me?"

"Then Cui has another question, how big is the Great Khan's plan?"

"I want to restore the glory of the Rong tribe, and I want to lead my people back to the birthplace of our ancestors, to the sacred mountain and sacred lake. I want to reproduce the glory of Dabeirong and become the lord of a strong country on an equal footing with Dayan. ”

"The Great Khan's ambition is admirable, but the difficulties he faces are also unimaginable, and the Great Khan now occupies only half of the Far East, which is far from the Great Khan's ideals. Since the Great Khan can tell his ambitions, he must have relied on it, I wonder if the Great Khan can tell the truth? ”

"Haha, it's not time yet, if Brother Xian can come to Dongrong as an official and make contributions to my Dongrong, then he will naturally tell the truth."

"What the Great Khan said is that Cui Ci understood. Since the Great Khan took a fancy to Cui Ci, then Cui Ci also let the Great Khan see Cui Ci's ability. Cui Ci is willing to give the Great Khan what he wants, such as ballistas and thunderbolts, I wonder if the Great Khan is interested? ”

Su Erhu and Mu Lun's expressions were surprised and suspicious, you must know that the best ballistae that Dongrong has are all from Dayan, and this line has never been known to outsiders. But even then the number was very small, and the ballistas and thunderbolts used in the First World War in the Far East were nearly a decade's reserve, and more than half of them were lost in this battle, and they needed to be replenished urgently. Now Cui Ci opened his mouth and said that he could send ballistas and thunderbolts to Dongrong, which was undoubtedly a relief in the snow, how could this not make Su Erhu and Mu Lun happy and suspicious.

"What the young owner said is true?"

Mullen asked.

"Isn't it true that you won't know when the time comes? The Great Khan of Fang Cai said that as long as I make contributions to Dongrong, I will tell the truth. Cui has always believed that it doesn't matter how he says, the key is to see if he can do it. Cui also understands that if you want to convince the public, you must show real skills, so let this matter be the beginning of our cooperation. ”

"Cui Ci, from now on, what you and I say between you and me is not a wine talk, our Dongrong's rules must be practiced when we say it, otherwise we will have to fight with our lives. Can you really do it? What are you going to do? ”

"Great Khan, now is not the time. After the goods arrive and the Great Khan passes the inspection, can we talk about this matter in detail? ”

Hahahaha, Su Erhu laughed and high-fived Niu Tianci three times, which is considered to be an agreement.

"Cui Ci, you are my most honored guest, tonight the Great Khan wants to invite you to live in the Dongrong Great Khan Palace, and we will talk about the specific matters of cooperation. Cui Ci, I will keep the governor of Dongrong's army, as long as you do this well, you will be the governor of Dongrong. ”

"Cui Ci, as long as you do this well, I will, I will, I will marry you."

After Su Meiduo said this, he covered his face and ran into the tent and never came out, Niu Tianci looked at Su Erhu and Mu Lun embarrassed and didn't know what to say, but Su Erhu and Mu Lun smiled and leaned back.

"Young owners don't have to care, our Dongrong women are all cheerful and generous, and they will say it directly if they like it, and they won't hide it. You can refuse Princess Meadow's affection, but are you willing? Hahahaha. ”

Mu Lun smiled like an old fox, Su Erhu looked at Tianci with admiration on his face, Su Erhu thought that if this Cui Ci could really do this, it would be okay to marry his sister to him. As for Jebeli, it is less important than the future of Dongjung. Besides, if Cui Ci can go to Dongrong as an official, he and Jebeli will only be good for Dongrong if they compete with each other, so why not do it.

"Someone, please return to the Great Khan Palace. Sister, we're leaving, are you staying outside the city tonight or going back to the palace with your brother? ”

"Wait for me, I'll go back to the palace too."

Su Meiduo ran out of the tent and hurriedly prepared his belongings. Su Erhu looked at his sister who was in a hurry, shook his head again and again, and said in his heart that this girl had finally opened her mind. (To be continued.) )
