Chapter 309: Hidden Marriage
Facing the foreign envoy in front of him, Ying Zheng was calm and relaxed, his face was calm, and he did not lose the posture of a king at all.
"King Qin, the envoy of Kukanqi has been waiting here for a few days, so that he can personally discuss with you about the matter of the bloody horse." And the king of the end made a match.
Ying Zheng understood that most of the conditions he proposed had already been accepted by Da Wan, otherwise he would not be in a hurry to see him, so he said: "The widow came to Jing Jue this time, but he didn't specifically buy sweat and blood horses, but since it is a trade, then you can also consider doing business with your Da Wan."
And the last king translated what Yingzheng said to Kukanqi.
Kukanchi said, "Honorable King Qin, you must know that in Dawan, sweat and blood horses are forbidden to be sold, and only the royal family is qualified to breed."
And after the last king finished translating this sentence, he echoed and said, "Yes, that sweat-and-blood horse is indeed not allowed to be sold, and will only be rewarded occasionally to meritorious officials."
"Hehe, since it's not for sale, then we don't have to negotiate." Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Let's see if there's anything else we can trade with, if not, then it's not bad to make friends."
And the last king smiled, did not translate this sentence, and said directly to Yingzheng: "This king has sold a lot of favors before he can talk about the king of Dawan, and this time they are still sincere."
"Then don't beat around the bush, just say it." Ying Zheng said, "Widows don't like to go around in circles."
And the last king muttered to Kukanchi, and did not know what to say.
Kukanchi said, "In that case, let's all be happy. King Dawan hopes that if King Qin buys a bloody BMW out of sincerity, he will increase the price more."
Ying Zheng shook his head and said, "No."
Kukanchi looked at King Jimo, and then said to Yingzheng: "Since the King of Qin insists on refusing to increase his chips, then only the foreign ministers return to Dawan to plead with our king, then ......
Ying Zheng smiled faintly and said, "The envoy really has a good appetite, he wants to invite merit and get some benefits, it's really a two-please."
Kukanchi: "......"
The calculations of the two of them were broken by Ying Zheng's words, and they couldn't help but be a little embarrassed.
And the last king smiled with a smile on his face and said, "For the sake of the king of Qin, it is natural to ask for some benefits."
"The chips made by the widow already contain the benefits of the two." Ying Zheng said indifferently, "As for how you explain to that Dawan King, that's your business."
"The meaning of the widow is already clear, so I guess I don't need to explain it anymore."
And the last king translated to Kukanchi, and the two of them didn't know what to say, and after nodding to each other, they seemed to have reached an agreement.
"King Qin." And the last king still smiled and said, "The envoy has agreed to return to Dawan to discuss with the king of Dawan, as for whether to sell or not, it is always the king of Dawan who says it, but I don't know how many horses you want to buy?"
"Why, it's cheaper to buy more, isn't it?" Ying Zheng quipped.
And the last king: "......"
"If King Dawan is sincere in selling horses, the amount is up to him." Ying Zheng took a sip of tea and said, "If the entire Dawan sweat and blood horses are migrated over, and the widows will also collect them, if the food in Daqin is not enough, then the widows can go and rob the six countries."
Ying Zheng's words are understated, but they reveal the emperor's prestige and self-confidence.
Kukanchi said, "In that case, then the foreign minister will set off on the same day, and if it is successful, I will come again with the letter of state, and ask the king of Qin to wait here for some time."
Ying Zheng thought to himself, he must need a month to go, if he comes back, but it will be more than two months, and it is good to stay in Jingjue during this time, and he can help Wuchan build the royal tomb.
"Okay." Ying Zheng nodded slightly, "The widow will wait for you here for two months, and when you arrive in Dawan, you must hand back the letter first."
"Okay
, this king followed him to Dawan." And the last king said.
"Okay, the widow will give you some goods, and you can bring them back to King Dawan to see." Ying Zheng said.
"That's great." And the last king smiled and poured a cup of hot tea for Yingzheng.
Kukanchi pointed to the tea in front of him and said, "Is this it?"
Ying Zheng nodded lightly and said, "Yes, but it's not just this tea."
Both Kukanchi and King Tsumoji smiled, and only they understood the meaning.
Coming out of the inn, Ying Zheng ordered Meng Yi to hand over the remaining goods in the camp to King Jimo, and then came to the palace alone.
Hearing that Dawan's envoy was in the essence, Wu Chan was really surprised and delighted.
Surprised, she didn't know anything about this, but happily, she was afraid that Maple Leaf would be lonely, and she had always wanted to find a companion for it, and now that she was finally about to achieve her wish, how could she not be happy.
"Brother, don't you lose money by exchanging grain for horses?" After Yingzheng proposed marriage, Wu Chan's private title for him also changed, after all, he was called King Qin Taishengfen, and it was not respectful enough to call him anything else.
"None of us have ever bought that bloody horse, so how do we know if we lose or not." Ying Zheng smiled at Wu Chan.
"I mean, wouldn't it be nice to trade something else, but food." Of course, Wuchan knows the importance of military rations.
"It doesn't matter." Ying Zheng said, "It just so happens that the widow wants to replace a batch of grain seeds, which is really the best of both worlds."
Wu Chan naturally didn't know about the original grain seed, and he didn't want to ask too much, seeing that Yingzheng was so confident, he would definitely not act rashly.
Thumb didn't care much about the matter of sweat and blood, so he changed the topic and asked, "King Qin, if there is nothing wrong with the plan of the royal tomb, let's choose a date and do a mountain opening ceremony."
"Okay." Ying Zheng responded.
"By the way, I've done your marriage to Uzen." Thumb said with a smile.
Ying Zheng: "......"
"Uncle Thumb!" Wu Chan snorted and turned his head away shyly.
The Great Elder also added fuel and vinegar to the side and said, "Yes, yes, strike while the iron is hot, if King Qin doesn't want to do it in Great Qin, he will do it in Jingjue."
Jingjue is not like Huaxia has so much red tape, what parents' orders, matchmakers' words and the like.
Seeing Ying Zheng's embarrassed face, Wu Chan's heart sank, and he hurriedly asked, "What, are you reluctant?"
"If so, it's too late for the widow to be happy." Ying Zheng hurriedly explained, "It's just that the widow thinks that this matter doesn't want to be publicized in Daqin, so it's better to keep a low profile in the essence."
"Hehe, it turns out that King Qin has scruples." The Great Elder said beside him, "Although it is said that the Exquisite Queen is about to get married, it can also be done simply according to King Qin's wishes."
Ying Zheng's face was embarrassed, and he said, "In this way, wouldn't you have wronged Wuchan?"
The Great Elder laughed and said, "Our Ghost Cave Clan, we don't have those rules of your Huaxia, and if we migrate in the future, who cares about these things."
Ying Zheng thought about it, so he looked at Wu Chan.
Wu Chan's cheeks were still rosy, and he glanced at Ying Zheng, randomly looked away, and then nodded slightly in agreement.
"Hehe, since the queen also agrees, then the old man will do it now." The Great Elder is straightforward and fast-talking, and he is also anxious.
"Let's go, leave the two of them behind, and talk alone." Thumb accompanied the Great Elder out of the temple gate, and before going out, he asked the maids at the door to retreat.
There are only two people left in the inner hall, Yingzheng and Wuchan, and the atmosphere is still slightly awkward.
Seeing that the Great Elder and Thumb were gone, Wu Chan's shyness was a little less, she came to Ying Zheng's side and said slowly, "Regarding etiquette, you don't have to worry about it, I don't care about that, as long as we can be together."
」
Hearing this, Ying Zheng was immediately relieved, but still doubted: "After that, I went back to Daqin, leaving you here by yourself, and I couldn't bear it."
Wu Chan didn't think that far ahead, and was silent for a while, and then said, "Even if there is less gathering and more separation, it doesn't matter, when I build the royal tomb, I will take my people to you."
Wu Chan was sincere, and Ying Zheng's heart was hot, and he walked two steps to Wu Chan's side, and reached out to hold her jade hand.
The temperature of each other is passed in the hands, and the intoxicating autumn waves are exchanged in the eyes, right
After looking at it for a while, Wu Chan fell into Ying Zheng's arms again, and Ying Zheng wrapped his arms and hugged Wu Chan tightly in his arms.
In the evening, the Great Elder returned.
"It's all arranged." The Great Elder grinned and said, "Early tomorrow morning, let's go to the Ghost Cave of the Fire Eye, and we will marry you according to the etiquette of my Ghost Cave Clan."
"So fast." Ying Zheng subconsciously muttered, but he was afraid that Wu Chan would think he was reluctant, so he turned around and asked, "I don't know what kind of etiquette the Ghost Cave Clan has."
The Great Elder sat down and explained the ghost cave etiquette system to Ying Zheng in more detail.
According to the ritual system of the ghost cave clan, when the royal family gets married, they must worship at the eye of the fire, and the husband and wife must wear special clothes to perform the worship dance, and then drink sheep blood wine together, and then wear clothes made of ice Gu silk to support the ice Gu, and then use the ghost cave as the place of the cave house, and finally put the sacrifice into the fire eye.
This was the earlier ritual of the Ghost Cave Clan, and the exquisite royal family itself had not used this ritual for a long time.
The reason why this ritual was chosen may also be because of the determination of the essence to leave and say a final goodbye to the ancestors.
However, the thought of using the ghost cave as the location of the cave house, Yingzheng's scalp couldn't help but tingle.
Looking at Ying Zheng's expression, Wu Chan was also a little inexplicably nervous, after all, she had only heard of this etiquette, but she had never seen it.
The Great Elder thought that Ying Zheng was stumped by the sacrificial dance of the Ghost Cave Clan, so he called Zhehuai, and the two of them personally demonstrated to Ying Zheng and handed them over hand in hand.
Early the next morning, the elders dressed the two of them in the costumes of the Ghost Cave Clan, and then rode on a tall horse and headed towards the location of the Eye of Fire.
The crowd deliberately bypassed the market and went out of the city through the side gate.
On Yingzheng's side, there are no cronies to follow.
And on Wuchan's side, except for the elders, there is only one Zhehuai.
Everyone came to the eye of the fire unhurriedly, and their thumbs were already there.
Yesterday, Thumb did not return to the Essence City, but stayed in the Eye of Fire to set up the scene, and now the ghost hands have prepared the necessary items, just waiting for the two newcomers to arrive together.
Everyone took their positions, and the Great Elder came out, muttered in a fine language, and then bowed down, and the worship ceremony began.
After some prayers, it was the turn of the two couples to dance together.
Ying Zheng was both novel and a little nervous, and according to what he learned yesterday, he danced with Wu Chan stiffly.
Looking at Ying Zheng's clumsy pace, the elders all snickered, and the atmosphere became lively.
After some tossing, the ghost hands killed the fat sheep prepared in advance, and took the blood of the sheep for Yingzheng and Wuchan to drink.
Ying Zheng had never drunk fresh sheep blood, but when he saw Wu Chan's encouraging eyes, he immediately picked up the bowl and drank it with Wu Chan.
Since it was still early, the Great Elder did not rush to let them enter the ghost cave, but held the ceremony of opening the mountain and repairing the tomb one after another.
This ritual is also quite different from Daqin's, and it has the flavor of tribal sacrifice.
After all the rituals were completed, the ghost hands put on the newly made ice Gu clothes for Yingzheng and Wuchan respectively.
Under the blessed gaze of everyone, Ying Zheng took Wuchan's leaf, lit the torch, and walked towards the hole of the fire eye.
