Chapter 672: Prisoner of the Lang Clan
This is the voice of the rock boy!
It's been three days, and the rock boy hasn't heard any news, and Harueda is so anxious that she can't do it. But in front of Pan Ya and Lizi, she couldn't show it too obviously, so as not to ruin her daughter's marriage.
She originally planned to wait for Pan Ya and Beiming Hou to finish saluting, so she hurriedly called someone to inquire about the news. As a result, I didn't expect that before the wedding started, the rock boy had already returned?
I'm afraid this kid has been going back and forth on the road these days, and he hasn't rested at all, right? Chunzhi was faintly distressed.
Now, the rock boy's shout quickly attracted the attention of everyone present.
Everyone turned their heads to look, and saw that the rock boy was wearing a military uniform, his face was black and gray, his eyes were bruised, and his face was still a little tired, but his eyes were shining, and his waist was straight and straight, and he was in good spirits.
"Brother!"
Seeing this, the two little guys immediately cheered and ran over.
Yan Xiaozi drove the horse to the front, he turned over and dismounted, and bowed to the Marquis of Beiming, who was still sitting on horseback: "Master, the apprentice went to the border to suppress bandits this time and captured a group of Lang prisoners. On the occasion of your wedding to my sister, I sent all these captives over, and they were my gift to my sister. β
As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers behind him drove over with one or twenty Lang captives.
The Marquis of Beiming has Lang blood. Now that the foreign Wang clan has been completely wiped out, only the Lang clan is left with his relatives. So now that he is getting married, there are many people from the Lang tribe.
Now they are also present.
Now, seeing that Yan Xiaozi brought a string of Lang captives over, and kept saying that it was for Pan Yatou to make a dowry, their faces were blue.
Haruka took this scene into her eyes, and the corners of her lips lifted slightly.
"It's kind of interesting." She muttered to herself.
The boy also rode a horse and followed Harue's carriage. Hearing Chunzhi's voice, he asked in a low voice, "Mother, what's going on?" Second brother, he turned out to go to the border to suppress bandits? And this matter, why is it related to the Lang clan again? β
"Didn't you tell me earlier? The Lang people do not have the spirit of contract, so naturally they will do whatever is beneficial to them. So now, now that they have taken advantage of the Celestial Empire, they have begun to show their original form, revealing the big tail behind their buttocks. Harue chuckled.
The boy understood.
He smiled coldly again. "The grasshopper shakes the tree, it's ridiculous."
Chunzhi also smiled faintly, and continued to look at the rock boy in front of him and the Marquis of Beiming.
The Marquis of Bei Ming only looked at the string of captives, and his face remained unchanged: "You gave this gift very well." β
Then he turned back and commanded, "Bring the men in!" β
This group of captives was regarded as the last dowry of Pan Ya, and was sent to the Beiming Marquis Mansion before she got off the sedan chair and entered the door.
Seeing this, the faces of the Lang guests gradually turned from blue to black.
But who cares?
At least the rock boy has added a bit of festive effect to this marriage. The people of Liangzhou who came to see the excitement, as well as the wedding team, were all in a sensation.
After all, foreign slaves are not rare now, but those of the Lang tribe are still very rare. Pan girl got twenty Lang slaves at once, and this treatment is definitely the first in Liangzhou. I'm afraid, even the emperor of the capital can't compare!
Therefore, before the wedding began, the atmosphere of the scene was lively. Next, the newcomers enter the door and salute, which is naturally more lively.
When the worship of heaven and earth was over, the bride was sent into the cave room, and Chunzhi saw that Pan Yatou was taken away, and her figure gradually disappeared from her eyes, and she couldn't help but have a sour eye, and almost shed tears again.
"Mother." Li Xiaozi hurriedly put a hand on her shoulder, "Don't be too sad. My sister grows up, and sooner or later she will have such a day. And now, since she is married under your nose, it is definitely better than marrying elsewhere. Even if it is for the sake of your face, Bei Minghou will definitely not dare to bully her. β
Harukeda couldn't help but laugh. "What do you say? Beiming Hou, he is not that kind of person. β
"I know!" The boy smiled slightly.
Harueda immediately smiled as well.
This kid, his way of comforting people is the same as his father's, it's so unexpected.
However, looking back at Bei Minghou shuttling through the crowd with joy on his face, he kept toasting and drinking with the guests, and Chunzhi pursed his lips again.
"He should like Pan Girl in his heart, right? Otherwise, he wouldn't marry her willingly, would he? β
"Yes." The standing boy nodded.
Haruka breathed lightly.
But just as the mother and son were leaning together and whispering, the prince of the Lang clan came to the table of Chunzhi with a wine glass.
"Princess of the North, this prince is here to toast you!"
He didn't know how much wine he had drunk, and now his face was red and his ears were red, and he still smelled of wine.
Chunzhi's eyebrows twisted. "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you have drunk too much."
"Yes, Prince Ben has drunk too much. If you don't drink too much, where will Prince Ben have the courage to talk to you? The prince of the Lang clan laughed, "I have to say, you are really a powerful person, princess of the northern kingdom!" Look at the group of children you raised, the eldest son Yushu Linfeng, whose reputation in the capital is as loud as his father's, the eldest daughter married the Marquis of Beiming, and the second son was able to capture prisoners of war at a young age! Compared with him, I realized that the warriors of my Lang clan can no longer be regarded as warriors. You Celestial Empire people are much more cunning and insidious than us! β
He's really starting to borrow alcohol and pretend to be crazy!
Harueda smiled lightly: "If you want to talk about cunning and insidiousness, then you should first find out who started the dispute at the border, right?" Anyway, I believe that the people of the Celestial Empire are all dedicated to goodness, and they just want to do business well, and they don't want to stir up trouble. β
"However, in the end, it was you who relied on your strength to subdue us by force, and captured so many people from my Lang clan as prisoners!" The prince of the Lang clan shouted.
"So what? Your army is useless, you can't protect your own people, you should reflect on whether you are too incompetent. Harueda said slowly.
The prince of the Lang clan choked.
"You talk nonsense! It's clear that you are too insidious and cunning, and we have all fallen for you! β
Chunzhi's eyebrows twisted, and King Liang couldn't stand it anymore.
He said coolly: "That's good! If you think that we Celestial Empire people are insidious and cunning, and have been planning to deceive you, then this border market will be closed now! Everyone parted ways, you take your sunny road, I cross my single-plank bridge, everyone will be safe in the future, okay? β
The prince of the Lang clan was speechless.
From October last year to March this year, almost half a year was the harsh winter period of the Lang people. In the past, at this time, their people always froze to death and starved to death, and cattle, sheep and horses were also killed and injured. But since the border was opened last year, a steady stream of rice and cloth from the Celestial Empire has been sent to the Lang people, which has solved their urgent need. One winter, they barely suffered any casualties.
It's just that there is only a small piece of grain in Liangzhou, and this grain is not enough for the people of Liangzhou to eat by themselves! There are also cotton and silk cloths, which were originally in short supply in the Celestial Empire, and now Chunzhi specially asked people to divide a part of it and sell it in the border market, which is all pulled out of the mouths of the people!
Since it is cut out, it is natural to give a certain amount of compensation. For example...... Raise the price a little higher.
However, there is no silver mountain and copper mountain in the territory of the Lang people, and in the face of these urgently needed life-saving materials, they can only obey the requirements of the border officials and exchange them for cattle, sheep and horses, as well as their agate, amber and other collections.
It can be said that in the past six months, they have lost a lot of money.
At that time, they didn't feel it when they changed things. But when the time came, and now the grass grew on the grass again, and the people were able to eat enough by their own ability, their hearts began to be unbalanced againβthey felt that they had lost a lot!
Therefore, the prince of the Lang clan will take the opportunity to stir up trouble.
However, he just wanted to take the opportunity to force Chunzhi and them to take two steps back and give them some more discounts. Shut down the border market directly? That's not going to work! In three months, it will be a cold winter, and they will have to rely on the rice grain of the Celestial Empire to save their lives!
Therefore, under the cold gaze of Chunzhi and King Liang, the prince of the Lang clan shook his figure, and the wine in the cup spilled out.
"Oops, it seems that Prince Ben really drank too much. Why is my head so dizzy? No, I'll have to find a place to lie down for a while, I'll go first! He spoke to himself, turning and running.
Seeing him run away without a trace, the corners of Liang Wangcai's mouth twitched. "I now have a strong suspicion that the prince was responsible for what happened at the border. People like them, treachery is the norm, and they always only care about how much benefit they have gained. It seems that we will have to be more cautious in dealing with them in the future. β
