Chapter 17: The Temptation
Ah Shina, who had been sitting cross-legged on the cushion, stared at Gu Xuan with his eyes after listening to the translation of the clansmen next to him, and snorted coldly with extreme dissatisfaction: "Hmph, it's really a big shelf, you dare to let us wait for you for so long!"
Although Gu Xuan couldn't understand the Rakshasa language, he could see Ashina's unkind face, and he also knew that what this fat man said was definitely not a good thing, but this time, since he wanted to meet the alliance to recruit the six major tribes, and then look forward to the layout of the entire sand sea, the stakes were very high, and there must be no loss, so it was up to this fat man to be arrogant for the time being, as long as he didn't take the initiative to destroy the alliance this time, he had to say something ugly, as long as the alliance was successful, there was a way to cure him.
After his own prince walked all the way from the corridor on the side, and sat on the main seat of the hall in a dignified manner, Lu Yi walked to the lower left of the chair and began to introduce everyone in orthodox Rakshasa language: "Everyone, everyone, this one is the king of Hedong County in my Daliang, and the person who has full authority to manage this alliance, and it is also my master, Lord Xuan!"
After hearing this, the leaders of the six major tribes below changed their expressions slightly, and their expressions were different, after all, this time they could negotiate on behalf of their respective tribes, except for Adagon, few of them were really fools, at least, they could also roughly understand the weight of the python-robed prince in front of them in the description of others.
The so-called "prince", in fact, is similar to the identity of some of the people here, they are all "relatives of the emperor", but the difference is that the prince in front of him is Da Liang, even if they are no longer immortal, they will not be so arrogant that they can't even see the huge gap between their tribe and Da Liang in the south, plus the other party's extraordinary temperament and domineering appearance, it is obviously very comparable, so his face immediately became much more serious.
If they come this time, they are just ordinary civil officials who are very cool, no matter how high the official position is, these barbarians will not understand, but they will not have a good face for them.
Gu Xuanduan sat on the mahogany chair carved with a big python, pressed the python heads on the armrests on both sides with both hands, first glanced at the people below with a smile, slightly forehead, and then waved his hand violently, and said loudly: "You have come from afar today to come here, this king, I am very grateful, the reason why I want to invite you to come here today and gather here is to conspire with great things, if there is any neglect, I hope you Haihan!"
Gu Xuan sat on the chair and said, and Lu Yi, who was standing on the left-hand side, opened his mouth to translate for the people below.
Although Lu Yi is definitely better at dealing with these Rakshasa clans whose habits and customs are completely different from Da Liang, but now that Gu Xuan is here, it is impossible for him to go beyond it, if he really does this, let alone what Gu Xuan thinks, even the Rakshasa clan's side, I am afraid that they will be dissatisfied, because they are definitely only willing to talk to the leaders here.
The so-called king to king, will to general, is so.
Ashina put his hands on his knees, sat cross-legged on the soft cushion, and the fat all over his body was piled up layer upon layer, because there were many people in the room, even if the place was big, it was not enough to stand, and he was already fat, and he had already begun to sweat at this time, after hearing the other party's words, there was a fire in his heart, pouting, a big hand like a fan in his ear fan, fanning the wind and shouting: "I don't have time to listen to these polite words of your human race, if you have something to say, if you have a fart, let it go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the people from the Goshawk tribe shouted at Gu Xuan in broken Liangguo dialect after translating.
The atmosphere in the entire hall suddenly froze, and everyone looked at Gu Xuan and Ashina, wanting to see how they dealt with it.
Gu Xuan looked at the fat man below, he didn't seem to be angry, he still smiled kindly, but he was slightly cold in his heart, and pretended not to know and asked Lu Yi next to him: "Who is this?"
The translator from the Goshawk Tribe on the opposite side stood beside Ashina, and at this time, he stretched out his hand and said proudly towards Gu Xuan: "This is the second prince of our Goshawk Tribe, King Ashina!"
Gu Xuan nodded clearly, and then arched his hand casually and said, "Disrespectful and disrespectful, since King Ashina has said so, then King Ben will also say it directly." ”
He stood up, put his hands behind his back, and smiled at the people below: "This king respectfully obeys the order of my Great Liang Majesty, and summons you here today in order to establish a new order in Brahmana with you, forever cultivating the friendship between the two clans!"
The fat on Ashina's face trembled, and he said coldly: "You said it lightly, how to repair?"
Gu Xuan showed a sad look, and sighed: "Alas, for so many years, our Da Liang and you from Borona have been fighting each other, this is really a matter of pain for relatives and happiness for enemies, since we live next to each other, we should have become a pair of good neighbors, I Da Liang, I have always liked peace the most, I like to make friends with people, we should help each other, trade with each other, develop each other, and 。。。。。。 in Braona ”
Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by someone from the Dire Lizard Tribe.
This person is the eldest prince of the dinosaur tribe, and he is also the next chieftain, equal to the original status of Adagon, his hair is shaved, and he has a small braid on the top, but he is obviously different from the Yanzhou people, with a nose ring, his face is well-defined, and he is highly recognizable, and he does not wear other clothes on his upper body, only a white wool shoulder, and the front starts from the neck to the abdomen, and is tattooed with a hideous monitor lizard pattern.
He sat next to Adagon, clasped his hands to his chest, raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Xuan and frowned and asked.
"Let's be honest, King of Liang Kingdom, how are you going to deal with those three tribes?"
He is also a very traditional Rakshasa tribe, so he asks very bluntly, these people are the laziest to listen to foreigners for a long time to say polite words, there is an extreme shortage of water in the desert, where can you waste your tongue to talk about irrelevant things for half a day.
Although these people claim to be six medium-sized tribes, they have actually always succumbed to the obscenity of the three major tribes, even the most powerful of them is no exception, but the goshawk tribe can rely on its strong strength, and dare to send people to negotiate and reduce the offerings they need to hand over every year, like several other tribes, including the second-ranked Viper tribe, they have to send almost half of everything every year to keep safe.
It is precisely because they can't stand the exploitation of them by the three major tribes for many years that they will try their best to resist, but if they resisted before, in terms of the strength of the two sides, it would really be hitting a stone with an egg, and they are not stupid, so they can only endure it silently.
Not only did the three tribes see them as their own flock, but even they understood it.
Now that Da Liang has contacted them in private, and has also signed an alliance with them, doesn't this mean that an outsider came to help the sheep he raised escape from prison?
This is the most fundamental interests of the three major tribes, and it is impossible for the other party to turn a blind eye, as long as they learn the news, they will inevitably be furious, and if the other party sends troops to them, what should they do?
This is the most direct and fundamental problem.
"The three major tribes have acted perversely and oppressed their fellow tribes for many years, and even we can't see it even if we are so evil. Gu Xuan raised his hand and encouraged the people below, "Why should you worry about this, in the future, you will have my Great Liang as your backing, what are the three major tribes afraid of?
The old man of the Rat Tribe, who had been hanging his head and did not speak, suddenly spoke: "I believe in your sincerity, the king of the Liang Kingdom, but can you guarantee that the Great Liang will send troops for us?"
The old man has been living for so long, and seeing things has always been the most straightforward, and now it makes no sense to say that they are allied or not, the most important thing is whether the other party will help them resist the attack of the three major tribes, otherwise the army of the three major tribes will besiege the city and slaughter them all, so what else is there to talk about.
Of course, if it weren't for the fact that the three major tribes were too harsh on their kind, and they had to find a reason to cut their hair once a year, they wouldn't have come over today to talk about cooperation with the cunning foreigners.
No matter what race they are, their own interests are always paramount, and they are no exception.
Adagon suddenly said: "Listen to me, the three major tribes are indeed too much, have you forgotten how many things we have to hand over to them every year?
The corners of Lu Yi's eyes twitched slightly when he heard this, and he was speechless, he really regretted that he had subdued such a fool.
I thought that this kid wanted to make meritorious contributions in front of the prince, so he made a statement to incite others, but he didn't have the ability.
Sure enough, after he said this, everyone else looked at him with a foolish look, and even Adagon himself felt a little inexplicable, touching his head and not knowing why.
Ashina did not even shy away from expressing his contempt for Adagon.
"What a fool, deserving of sea buckthorn for the rest of his life. ”
Adagon looked at the other party with a puzzled look on his face and said, "What do you mean by that?"
Isn't it our tradition to eat sea buckthorn, what's wrong with that?
The mixed-race woman at the head of the Blood Bat Tribe looked at this scene and shook her head slightly, too lazy to look at him anymore.
"Bang Bang!"
Gu Xuan clapped his hands suddenly, attracting everyone's attention again, and said, "As long as the six major tribes can be twisted into a rope, they won't dare to come to those three, right?"
This is half a truth, the three tribes are actually only tens of thousands of warriors who can be used in their respective clans, if the six parties below can converge together and cooperate sincerely, in order to avoid rash attacks and excessive losses, the three major tribes will never dare to act rashly, but then again, twisted into a rope, what is said is good, but they were originally chieftains, and they said the same thing in their own clan, so after the merger, who should they respect? Is it difficult for them to serve others as kings?
From the highest status chieftain to suddenly become an ordinary clansman with no real power, only a fool will be willing.
It turned out that at most, the whole tribe had a hard time, but now they have to give away all the rights, and the difference is too great.
The woman of the Blood Bat Tribe also spoke at this time, she is a hybrid of the two races, and her appearance is very good even according to the aesthetics of the Liangguo people, especially the rich exotic style, which is even more seductive, and she doesn't need to translate, and what she says is also orthodox Youzhou dialect: "Dare to ask the prince, according to your meaning, after the merger of our six parties, where should everyone go?
If you want all six tribes to be twisted into a rope to resist foreign enemies, it must be merged, otherwise the six major tribes are scattered all over the world, and as long as they are divided and broken, it will be an easy thing.
When Gu Xuan heard this, he didn't answer these questions directly, but just waved his hand and deliberately avoided talking about it first: "Hey, it's too early to talk about these questions now, I see that you have just arrived, and you still have some past prejudices about us, and it is inevitable that you will be biased when looking at the problem, I think it is better to show you the sincerity of our Da Liang first." ”
After speaking, he nodded lightly towards Lu Yi, who understood, and immediately clapped his hands, and the subordinates of the county government outside began to move things into the hall together after getting the code.
Silky Jiangzhou silk, high-quality Yongzhou new tea, exquisite porcelain, pearls from Haizhou, and other cherished Daliang specialties were all packed in boxes and moved up one by one.
