Chapter 595: Princess Cloud
The leader of the Songgan tribe refused the couple's proposal, and now he was injured in the wrist of his right hand and could not hold a weapon, so he took the couple back just in case.
The husband and wife took advantage of the leader's momentum and followed him back to the camp. Before they reached the gate of the camp, several soldiers flashed out from the side of the road, armed with bows, arrows, knives and spears to attack the leader.
When the husband and wife saw that things were not good, they wanted to escape, but the soldiers chased after them and cut the husband and wife to the ground. The leader was hit by an arrow and fell from his horse. The soldier stepped forward and slew the leader with a single sword, along with the husband and wife.
The pine tribe has changed hands. The soldier returned to the new leader, "Your Majesty, your subordinates have completed their mission. "The soldier handed the bag containing the head of the previous leader to the new leader.
The new chief repaired a letter and sent a messenger to send an envoy, "You go to the camp of the lord and the maid to deliver the prayer post." Let's just say that our Songgan tribe is willing to obey the king's orders. ”
The envoy rode on a horse all the way to Ganzhou, and Shang Wanwen led his subordinates to camp here. Shang Wanwen is a major force in Tibet. The military camp in Ganzhou has a tent where a young Tibetan aristocratic woman sits opposite a man.
The woman combed several small compilations to the back of her head, and her head was embellished with turquoise jewels. Dressed in a brocade skirt, his eyes were large and bright, but his cheeks were red, and many people living on the plateau had such a complexion.
The man opposite the woman was dressed in Tibetan robes and had a pair of deerskin boots on his feet. Her hair is braided, and her face is warm and handsome. "Princess, I am afraid that I will not act in the near future. The princess was sullen. ”
The man and the princess sat on their own feet, and did not kneel and speak like the other subordinates. "Shang Gongzi, you don't know, it's not a long-term solution for us to send people under the fence like this."
This man was Xue Shang, who had fled at the beginning, and he had defected to Princess Yunduo. Xue Shang comforted the princess and said: "Princess, the matter is man-made, the two of them have been fighting for many years, we can slowly accumulate strength in order to restore the last wish of the previous king." ”
The guards came in and reported, "General Shang has asked the princess to come and discuss the matter." ”
The princess took Xue Shang to Shang Wanwen's camp. Shang Wanwen's eyebrows and eyes are gentle, and her face is a kind elder.
"Princess, this is the messenger of the Songdry tribe. The Songshan tribe has always been our enemy, and the new leader has sent envoys to make friends with us. ”
Messenger: "Our former leader was coerced by a gang of thieves a few days ago, and was later killed by the thieves. The current leader is grateful for the prestige of the general and wants to be repaired by the general, so he specially ordered me to convey the leader's intentions. ”
The messenger presented the letterhead. Shang Wanwen read the letterhead and handed it to the princess, who read it carefully, "The general is gratifying, the Songgan tribe is a powerful tribe on the grassland. Submission to the general is also the desire of the people. ”
Shang Wanwen sighed: "I don't want to be an enemy of Shang Fear, but he is aggressive." I'm being forced to cope. ”
Xue Shang stood under the hall with a sword in his hand. The general said, "I would like to send the princess to the Songdry tribe to read my heart." Can the princess take a run? ”
Princess Cloud gladly agreed. She wants to establish prestige among the tribesmen, she is a member of the royal family, and now her half-brother sits on the throne with Shang Fearre, and is a puppet to put it bluntly.
The princess's husband was Yun Dan, the nephew of her father, King Kedun, who died at the hands of Shang Fearre, and their child also died at the hands of Shang Fearre. On the one hand, the princess wants to avenge her husband and son, and on the other hand, she has her own ambitions.
The general held a banquet for the envoys. The next day, the princess and Xue Shang went to the Songkai tribe with twenty guards and the envoys.
There are tens of thousands of tents in the camp tents of the Songgan tribe, spread out on the grassland, and people and animals thrive. Chocolate, who now takes over as tribal leader, is the right-hand man of the previous chief, and after he succeeds him, he uses thunderous means to establish his prestige in the tribe.
The princess and Xue Shang came to the tribe's base camp, where people gathered in an open field, and Chocolate led his guards to stand on a high place, speaking to the people.
"We are a powerful tribe on the steppe. We don't want to be controlled by others, we have to live with our chests up. The money we hand over to the above every year is saved by our people tightening their belts. We will not be exploited in the future. Chocolate's resounding words drifted in the wind.
A fire was set up in the clearing, and more than a dozen people were tied to flagpoles. "You don't care about the lives and deaths of the tribal people, you want to take refuge in others, you want to set yourself on fire, and you want to ask others to deal with your siblings, are you still doing personnel?" Chocolate shouted at the dozen or so people tied to the flagpole.
One of them retorted loudly with a cloak; "You murdered the chief, and usurped the position of the chief, and the prince's children are all alive, why don't you support the chief's heirs to ascend to the throne, but sit on the throne of the chief? Thou hast neglected the kindness of the chief to thee. ”
Before Chocolate could speak, his cronies had already whipped the man on the flagpole. The head-and-face whipping caused several people to faint.
The princess and Xue Shang slowed down their horses and stopped outside the courtyard gate. People are dealing with household affairs, and it is better for outsiders to interfere less in this matter. It was not uncommon for leaders to change hands.
Whoever has a hard fist has the initiative, and this is the law of survival on the grassland. So the princess didn't mind her exile. His own power is weak, wandering on the grassland, and taking refuge in Shang Wanwen, this is normal.
With a wave of the chocolate, a dozen people on the flagpole were cut ropes and thrown into the fire. More than a dozen people who had just passed out were burned by the flames and let out a miserable howl.
The tragic scene and the miserable howl made the open space seem to be purgatory on earth. The smell of burnt human flesh wafted in. The princess and Xue Shang both turned their backs. After Chocolate finished his housework, he came out to greet the group outside the gate.
"I'm a chocolate from the Songdry tribe. Distinguished guests are welcome. "Chocolate hands on the chest, salute.
The princess clenched her fists on her horse, "Chocolate chief, I am here on order, and the general appreciates your deep understanding of righteousness, and specially sent me to comfort your compatriots. ”
The princess spoke heartily and without the weakness and timidity of a woman, and Chocolate respectfully asked the princess to ride her horse and go ahead, and he dismounted and followed on foot.
When the people saw the princess coming, they didn't recognize it as the princess, and the dress and pomp she was traveling now were not the grade of the princess. Just the grade of a messenger.
Xue Shang introduced chocolate; "Princess Cloud, the daughter of Langdama Zampu."
Chocolate: "The princess arrived, and her subordinates didn't know Mount Tai, and I hope the princess will forgive me." This is the princess of the clouds, the golden phoenix of our grassland. ”
The people cheered in unison: "Princess of the Golden Phoenix Cloud on the Prairie." ”
The princess is smart and beautiful, and has the wisdom that is not lost to men, and has prestige in the hearts of the people of the steppe. So today, the princess appeared in person, and the beautiful princess of the clouds gained the love of the people.
