Chapter 8: First Arrival in Sijon
Xijon is different from the Central Plains.
Xirong is bitter cold, and crops are difficult to grow. Most of the people live by grazing, but the horses, cows, and sheep are really slower, not to mention that they have to exchange these for money and buy some warm clothes and the like, which is even more than enough to make ends meet.
And so on and so forth, and the people of Xijon starved to death while guarding their flocks. The sheep raised by every household is also the property of every household, and it is something that every household is reluctant to eat.
If there is no food, even if you are willing to gnaw hay, then the sheep will never be killed.
Because the sheep is the most precious and valuable thing in the grassland.
Jun Juan doesn't understand this, because in the Central Plains, there is always enough grain, that is, if one party is in trouble, there is also enough grain in the treasury.
She is the pride of the sky, and starvation has nothing to do with her for a long time. Even the people in the difficult land are going to starve to death, and her life is still luxurious. Even when the wind and waves came, Emperor Ming Cheng and Jun Ye stood against her, and they couldn't blow her.
Zhehe knew this, so he was willing to slaughter a sheep for her, knowing that she would live a life of eating only dry food, and thinking of ways to improve her food.
But he couldn't watch her waste, and it was the same on his wedding night.
He was used to fighting for many years, and he knew that it was not easy to have food to eat. In the event of a big war, it is not uncommon not to eat or drink for three days.
As the king of Xirong, he knew that Xirong was poor, and he could only rely on the grain of the Central Plains to make the people no longer gnaw hay in winter. That bowl of rice is the food that countless Xijon children crave.
He was miserable all day long, and did not dare to eat more; She has always been extravagant, and she doesn't know that firewood, rice, oil, and salt are expensive. They are such two different people, but Cheolhyuk wants to get close to her desperately from the first time he sees her......
Listening to Zhehe's words, Jun Juan was a little ashamed: "I'm sorry... I... I do not know. "In our Central Plains, this thing is more or less necessary.
She didn't say the latter.
"That's it, just pay attention to it later." He knew that Jun Wan was delicate and noble, and he was reluctant to criticize her.
In the next two days, Jun Juan paid attention to it very much.
Of course, there is no such good food, so Jun Juan always gives up without eating two bites.
On the third day, Jun Juan was still asleep in the car, munching on a roast leg of lamb in her dream, when she heard Mama Pei beside her say to her: "Queen, you are about to arrive at the royal city of Xirong." Do you want to get up? ”
The royal city of Xijon? The roast leg of lamb in the dream flew. She smacked the saliva that was about to flow out of her dream and lifted the curtain.
I saw that the royal city appeared on the other side of the horizon, like the most dazzling pearl on the grassland.
The first thing that catches your eye is the battle flag of Nasijon. Battle flags flew one after another, the city gates were wide open, and there seemed to be many people standing at the city gates.
The carriage got deeper and deeper, and Jun Juan realized that those people seemed to be ordinary Xirong people.
Suddenly, the carriage stopped.
Then Zanha's voice sounded outside the carriage: "Queen, you are coming into the city." The king invites you to ride with you. ”
That's how it should be. Now that she is also the queen of Xirong, it is natural for her to return with the king, and this is naturally the best time for Zhehe to recognize her as the queen of Xirong.
She straightened her clothes, and found that her makeup was still eye-catching, so she got out of the carriage and walked towards the front of the line.
Zhehe, who was at the front of the team, rode on his tall black horse and stretched out his hand towards Jun Xuan: "Come up." ”
It's difficult: "I don't know how to ride a horse..."
"It's okay, you just hold me." After speaking, he couldn't help but pull Jun Juan on the horse.
Jun Juan was dizzy by this pull, and she was immediately tall, so frightened that she immediately grabbed Zhehyuk's clothes.
Who will hold him in front of so many people! He is not ashamed! He doesn't want to lose face, she still wants it! But right away it's really high... I'm still scared... Forget it, face is not as important as life. Then the spineless Jun Wan hugged Zhehyuk's waist.
The horse went straight to the city gate.
Soon she heard the people talking.
"That's the new queen whom the king married! Don't say it, this Central Plains girl is really good-looking. ”
"yes, yes! I can't complain that the king will go straight to the Central Plains. If I had known that the little lambs in the Central Plains had such good-looking girls, I would have beaten them! ”
"Huh! The relationship between this princess of the Central Plains and our king is really good! Look at that little hand, holding our king's arms, and not wanting to let go! ”
A burst of laughter followed.
Jun Wan's face was red with shame, but he still had to pretend that he hadn't heard anything.
Her face was pressed against Cheolhyuk's back, not wanting anyone to see her face again.
This Xijon is a barbarian! These people even laughed at the king's jokes, they really don't understand the rules! Just as she was thinking this, she suddenly heard a childish child's voice.
"King! My name is Arifu. My grandma said that you are a hero on our prairie. When I grow up in the future, I will also be like you, go to the battlefield to kill the enemy's head, and be a hero of the grassland. ”
The child who spoke was coarsely clothed in linen, and his face was dirty, but his eyes were bright and moving, and there was hope in his eyes.
Ariv, a good name, means victory.
Jun Juan's front was empty, and Zhehe turned over and dismounted. She tried to hold him, but it was too late.
At this time, she really felt that he was really brave and unscrupulous, and he didn't know that there might be someone hiding among these people who could take his life?
She had seen many murders, her father had been wounded by arrows many times, and she would never trust these seemingly good people, maybe that child was a little killer with a special skill! These are all the tricks that those killers use, taking advantage of people's defenselessness against weak children to counter-kill people.
However, Zhehyuk didn't care at all, he actually picked up the child. Jun Juan closed his eyes in fright, but the expected murder did not happen.
She heard Zhehyuk's voice: "Good! Good! It's worthy of my Xijon boy! My men in Xijon are all born for the battlefield! I, the Xijon boys, are all heroes of the grassland. ”
A cheer ensued.
An old woman in the crowd of half a hundred people squeezed in front of the crowd with a basket of naan cakes: "The old woman greets the king." If it weren't for the king, my two sons would have died in the north, thank you for saving my family, the king is our benefactor! ”
A basket of naan bread was often all the food for a family in Xijon for the winter, and the old woman took it all.
The rest of the people were impressed and rushed to hand over their things to Jehyuk.
"Thanks to the king, otherwise my husband would have died on the battlefield, thanks to the king's use of soldiers like a god! These are the freshly picked grapes in the morning, so don't be shabby. ”
"Thanks to the King! If it weren't for the king's efforts to find food and distribute it to us people every year, our family would have starved to death a long time ago! This is a little bit of the old man's own melon, and he asked the king to accept it. ”
"King, take my dates! This is what my grandma just got in the morning! ”
"The King..."
The people poured up, there were no precious things, but they were full of people's hearts.
