Chapter 594: Two Difficult Things
readx;
If it doesn't rain, the groundwater level drops, and naturally it doesn't spray water, which is normal, but the ancients didn't know this and didn't understand these simple groundwater knowledge, so it was attributed to the fact that the dragon below was angry and didn't spray water. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info to deal with this problem is actually very simple, just pour water into the ground, the water level and water pressure have reached, and it will naturally spray water outward. However, it is necessary to find the source of the underground water flow of this fountain so that it can be filled.
In ancient times, there were many phenomena of nature that could not be explained scientifically, including fountains. During the Tang Dynasty, the Bon religion of the Western Regions believed that the fountain was the dragon water sprayed by the dragon living underground, and it was a kind of holy water, which could prevent diseases and strengthen the body when drunk, and even ascended to heaven like a dragon when drunk for a long time. Bon also believes that the creatures in the water, such as fish and shrimp, are all underground gods, not only can not be eaten, but also treat them well, otherwise, if you offend these fish and shrimp gods, you will be condemned, and the light ones will have all kinds of skin diseases, and the heavy ones will whine and mourn. In the past, the Tibetan people did not eat fish, which is the origin of this.
There is such a fountain in the chief's earthen fort, and this year suddenly no more water is sprayed, the chief is in a hurry, so he asked the mage to do the work, but the three mages are not working, and now he has met Zuo Shaoyang, the elephant male Guxin, and has revealed a hand to subdue the "spell" of the mad monster, so the chief's confidence has increased greatly, and he does not hesitate to sacrifice the youngest and most beautiful concubine to sleep, and he must also get this matter done.
For the chief, women are really like clothes, and the holy spring is the most important thing, which is related to the rise and fall of the entire tribe.
In ancient times, this kind of thinking was not surprising, and in ancient times, men often sacrificed women for the sake of their careers. For example, Liu An in the Three Kingdoms "killed his wife to feed Liu", when Liu Bei was in trouble, he met Liu An, Liu An killed his wife in order to please this Uncle Liu, cut off the meat on his wife's arm to cook for Liu Bei to eat, Liu Bei was very moved afterwards, and told Cao Ying, Cao Ying also praised Liu An, and sent someone to Liu An to send a hundred taels of gold.
After Tang Taizong Li Shimin married Princess Wencheng to Songtsen Gampo, when discussing how to deal with ethnic relations, there was a famous statement: "I am the parents of the common people, and I am harsh, how can I cherish a daughter?" In the eyes of the emperor, for the sake of peace, don't say that marrying a clan girl far away, that is, your own daughter or even your wife's mother, if the "common people" need it, you have to sacrifice it, this is the so-called political surname.
Although the chief of the Misang tribe cannot compare with Li Shimin, as far as his tribe is concerned, it is worth sacrificing his concubine for the peace of the tribe.
Zuo Shaoyang listened to the second thing that the little concubine said, thought about it, and said, "I can help take a look at this, but I may not be able to do it if the three mages haven't done it, so I'll try it first." ”
The little concubine was overjoyed, knelt in the quilt and kowtowed: "Great, thank you, the King agreed, at least I don't have to be whipped, thank you." ”
Zuo Shaoyang saw her naked body, and quickly turned his head: "You lie down, don't do this." Beware of colds! ”
"Thank you for your concern!" The little concubine hurriedly got into the quilt, only one head popped out, and looked at Zuo Shaoyang happily.
"I promised yes, but it hasn't been done yet, so I don't need to be happy."
"As long as His Holiness agrees, even if it can't be done, I don't have to be whipped."
"Are you so powerful?"
"Actually, it's not, it's just that he's fierce to disobedient people, and he's usually good to his servants and people."
"Well, you say there are two things, so what is the other one?"
"The lord said, the king will go further, he will go to Tami, who has relied on the strength of his army, and often asks us for all kinds of tributes, and if he neglects the slightest neglect, he sends troops to levy, and has already seized many of our places. The lord wants to ask the Dharma King Lu Tami to help persuade the King of Tami to form an alliance with us, and not to send troops to attack us again, the lord is willing to respect the Dharma King as a brother, and dedicate to the Dharma King Jinsha Baidou, a hundred beauties! ”
Zuo Shaoyang doesn't know much about the history of the Western Regions, this is the first time he has heard of this Duomi Kingdom, although he is the King of the Law, but what "mana" can convince people to do this and that? However, he said no at once, and it was also a joke, so he dragged out his voice and said: "This ......, things are very difficult to do......"
The little concubine was very clever, and when she heard that Zuo Shaoyang's words seemed to be loose, she said happily: "If the Dharma King is too little, the master said that it can be discussed!" ”
"It's not about the money, it's ......"
The concubine grinned, and suddenly reached over and shook Zuo Shaoyang's hand: "If the Dharma King can persuade Tami to form an alliance with our Misang, the lord said that in addition to Jinsha and beauties, I can also serve the Dharma King for the rest of my life!" ”
Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly retracted his hand: "That's not what you mean, you misunderstood, you are the chief's wife, I can't offend." If I do this, and you chiefs respect me as a brother, then we are brothers, and you are my brother and daughter-in-law, so you can't do that kind of thing! ”
"His Holiness!" The concubine twisted her body coquettishly and leaned on him: "If the Dharma King does this, and the master gives me to the Dharma King, I will be the Dharma King's person in the future, and I will not be your brother and daughter-in-law......
"No, no, no! Break no! Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly retreated, he had already retreated to the wall, there was nowhere to retreat, and he said urgently: "Stop!" If you want to go any further, I won't say anything! ”
The little concubine immediately stopped, and even shrank back: "Okay, I won't move, if I don't move, the Dharma King agreed?" ”
"Promised what?"
"Help our master convince Tami to form an alliance with us?"
"This can be considered, but you are the chief's woman, and I will never ask for it. This must be made clear. ”
The concubine's expression darkened: "I know, the king dislikes me......"
"I didn't mean that...... so don't mix these two things together?"
The main purpose of that concubine is to serve the two things of the chief of Zuo Shaoyang's gang, but she doesn't really want to follow Zuo Shaoyang, the king. Hearing Zuo Shaoyang's categorical refusal, he no longer insisted on it, and said with a smile: "Okay, the Dharma King has agreed to both things, it's really good!" ”
"You must be rewarded for doing these two things, right?" Zuo Shaoyang teased.
"That's ......" As soon as she said this, the concubine felt that it was inappropriate, so she hurriedly changed her words, and sighed and said: "What reward can there be, do things for the master, everything should be." I owe it to the Dharma King for your understanding of me, otherwise, if you don't agree, I won't be able to live. ”
Zuo Shaoyang said: "Promise to agree, but I may not be able to do these two things, I only promise to try, and I can't help it." ”
"That's nature." The concubine hurriedly laughed, fumbled in the quilt and touched a pair of soft wattles to him.
"Stop!" Zuo Shaoyang blocked her hand, "I have already agreed, your task is complete, you can go!" ”
"Then how can it be done, if I don't serve the good Dharma King, the master will punish me as well. Don't worry, Your Holiness, my life is very good, and I will surely satisfy you. ”
"Don't pay for it!" Zuo Shaoyang blocked her snake-like body, "I have agreed to everything, if you do this again, I will regret it!" ”
This sentence worked very well, the concubine immediately stopped her hand, and Nuo Nuo said: "But, if I don't serve the good master, I will really be punished, won't the Dharma King pity me?" ”
"Okay, your task has been completed, your lord will not punish you, if you are afraid of your lord's punishment, you can sleep under the bed and wait until dawn before leaving. I'll tell you, sir, that you're doing a good job. ”
"However, there is no quilt under the bed, what should I do if it is cold at night?"
"This ......" Zuo Shaoyang also felt inappropriate, and said: "Okay, you can sleep in bed, you have to wear a dress, I also wear a middle coat, let's sleep with clothes, or you can sleep under the bed, you choose!" ”
"Me, I'm dressed." The concubine learned that Suosuo put on her dress, and brought Zuo Shaoyang's middle coat and served him to put it on, and the two of them lay down in their clothes.
The concubine suddenly laughed. Zuo Shaoyang said: "What are you laughing at in the middle of the night?" Weird and scary. ”
"Hee-hee, His Holiness is such a weirdo."
"What's wrong with me?"
"I don't eat any fat to my mouth. Hee-hee. Others aren't like you. ”
"Who?" Zuo Shaoyang asked curiously, "Listening to you, have you accompanied a lot of your master's guests?" ”
"Not really!" The concubine snorted and said delicately, "I am our lord's sweetheart, and my lord is reluctant to let me accompany others, unless I am a special and distinguished guest like the Dharma King." I have been with the master for three years, and in the past three years, with the addition of His Holiness, I have only accompanied three distinguished guests in total. ”
"Oh, who are the other two?"
"One is the king of Bailan Kingdom, he came to the earth fort, took a fancy to me, and asked me to accompany him by name, but the lord couldn't do it, so he agreed. And the other is the prince of Taya Province, who is about to arrive in front of you. Our lord always wanted to unite them against Tibet, so I stayed with the prince for one night, and his name was Na Nanlisi. The man is very handsome, but unfortunately, there is a red birthmark under his navel near the man's thing, which is as long as a snake, and it looks very scary. ”
"What's the birthmark, it's born."
"So scary."
"Then have you convinced the prince of Tami to form an alliance with you?"
"Of course not, Prince Na Nanglisi said that his father is in charge of major national affairs, and he also wants to ally with us to fight against Tubo together, but his father has a good relationship with Tubo, and he also married the daughter of Tubo Zampu as a princess. I told the lord about this, and he said that the prince couldn't speak, and there was no way to do it, so he didn't punish me. Later, King Natami came to our tribe once. The lord said that the king was very lustful, and that he had to sleep with at least three women every night. After coming, our lord didn't think he would agree to an alliance, so he didn't let me accompany him. Sure enough, there was no promise of an alliance. Fortunately, the lord didn't let me go, and I later learned that the six women who the lord gave the old king to sleep with were injured by him! One of them suffered too much of a lower body injury and later died. ”
