Chapter 10 Central Plains Xirong
Seeing that the girl came to Zanha and sat down, the two seemed to be very close.
Isn't Zanha not married yet? Jun Juan thought like this, and suddenly thought that there was no family in this hall, so who is this girl?
Although Jun Juan was a little confused, she didn't stay on this girl for too long.
Everything was ready, Zhehyuk clapped his hands, and the servants brought the grilled meat to the table.
At the same time, several Xijon dancers danced into the temple in their dancing costumes.
The folk style of Xijon is open, and the dancer wears only a bandeau top, and the fork of the lower skirt goes straight to the base of the thigh.
What an uncivilized bunch of barbarians. Jun Juan thought like this, how dare such a vulgar dance be danced in the hall? It's shameless.
She simply lowered her eyes and stopped looking at the dancing girls.
On the main hall, Hu Qiang is accompanied by a huqin, and the dancing girl is dancing happily, which is a flying dance. The dancing girl's clothes fluttered down, as if she had really arrived in the fairy world.
"Taste this." Cheolhyuk handed a golden wine glass to Jun Wan, who was burying his head.
Jun Juan raised her head, took the wine glass, didn't pay attention to the contents, the first thing she saw when she was soaking in gold and silver jewelry every day was the bird's egg-sized ruby on the wine glass.
You must know that such a large ruby is sought after by many people in the Central Plains, and her most precious set of heads is only set with such a few! And this Sijon actually thinks of it as a wine glass! It's a terrible thing!
When she looked up again, she was even more stunned, even the dancing girl had several jewels shining on her body. When she thought about it, it seemed that her head was falling, and the jewelry she was wearing around her neck was genuine.
It's not that Xijon is poor and can't even eat, how can he still have leisure and elegance to fiddle with jewelry? Could it be that the information is wrong?
She was puzzled, but finally asked Zhehe beside her, "How did you Xijon put such a precious jewel on the wine glass?" ”
Zhehyuk glanced at the wine glass in her hand: "Precious? This thing, Xijon is everywhere. ”
"But in the Central Plains, this is very precious."
"Do you like it? After a while, I will order someone to bring you a box. He didn't care.
"Didn't you say that there was no food in Xijon? Why don't you exchange these jewels for some food? ”
"Your father and emperor have controlled the border passes, and you Han people are not allowed to trade with Xirong. Sijon is full of mines, but this stone is not enough to eat. ”
I see.
Meiyu has been reduced to a stone-like existence, but it can't hold a few grains. The people of the Central Plains begged for jade, but the food on the table was thrown away one plate after another.
"That's why you think food is so precious, don't you?" She was referring to the fact that he had eaten her leftovers on the wedding night, and that he had eaten her leftover leg of lamb that night.
Zhehe didn't answer, but his eyes became deeper and deeper, and he suddenly said: "In the winter of eight years ago, the rebels in the north wanted to kill me and seize the throne. That year, I was seriously injured and was in a coma for half a month, and after half a month, I woke up and lay in bed unable to move. ”
"At that time, I had just sat on the throne, and few people were willing to support me, and the whole of Xijon was a mess. They were so focused on fighting for power that they forgot that there was not much food to survive the winter. ”
"That winter, the snow fell soon but very thickly. Lying on the snow were the people of Xijon who had either frozen to death or starved to death. The snow covered their corpses, and when the snow melted in the early spring, they realized that they were not under the snow at all, and the people of Xirong who were starving to death under the snow were all under the snow. ”
"I was just able to walk, and as soon as I got out of the palace gates, I saw piles of dead people being carried out of the city. I saw a two-year-old child lying in his grandmother's arms, his mouth full of blood, and I realized that the child survived by drinking her grandmother's blood..."
After speaking, Zhehyuk closed his eyes, his fists clenched tightly, and he kept shaking.
Jun Wan put on his trembling hands, and her heart was like a big stone pressed against him when she heard his words, and she couldn't breathe: "I'm sorry... I do not know... Thank you for your willingness to share your experience with me... It's just that I grew up and didn't know how I could help you... If I could, I would try to get my father to resume trade at the border..."
Resumption of trade? How is that possible?
Emperor Ming Cheng pointed to him in order to strangle Xirong under Huicheng. Once Zhehe dared to break through the Jiaxing Pass, Emperor Ming Cheng dared to cut off all the food given to Xirong, if Zhehe could not directly attack the imperial city within a few months, the Xirong people would starve to death in the grassland.
It's just that if this is the case, I am afraid that Zhehe Rabbit will bite people in a hurry, and he will capture the imperial city regardless of the life or death of the people of Xirong. It's a lose-lose tactic that will never be used lightly unless absolutely necessary.
Therefore, Emperor Ming Cheng would rather sacrifice a princess than use this method.
Zhehe didn't tell Junwan what happened, but only responded to her words.
Jun Juan wanted to say something more, but before he could speak, he suddenly heard a "pop" sound, which was not harsh between singing and dancing, and Jun Juan still heard it.
She looked and saw that it was the girl in the fiery red dress beside Zamha who made the noise.
The girl was staring at her with burning eyes, and she didn't hurry to pick up the cup when it fell off.
Seeing Jun Juan looking at her, he smiled at Jun Juan slightly.
It's just that this smile looks so oozing.
Jun Juan shuddered, and was so frightened that he quickly took a sip of the contents of the wine glass.
This Min made her astringent, and quickly looked at the wine glass, but saw that the contents of the wine glass were black.
It's definitely broken! Cheolhyuk actually gave her something that was broken!
She stared at Cheolhyuk with resentment.
Aware of this unkind gaze, Cheolhyuk remembered what he had just handed her.
"What? Can't get used to drinking? ”
Who do you think can drink something that is broken? She simply turned her face away and stopped paying attention to Zhehyuk.
But she didn't know that these small actions were all seen by Zanna, and she thought that Jun Wan had a princess temper and dared to throw her face at Zhehe, so angry that she glanced at Jun Wan fiercely.
The girl in red was none other than Zanna.
Jun Juan saw Zaanna slashing at her because she felt her hostility, but she became more and more curious about Zana, and waved her hand to let Shanduo get closer and asked, "Who is the girl next to General Zaha?" ”
Shanduo said respectfully: "That's Zana, the sister of General Zaha. ”
"Isn't there no family at the palace banquet? Why is she a woman here? ”
"She's also a general in Sijon. General Zaanna has been fighting with General Zahanha since she was a child, helping the king win many battles, and from the centurion to a military exploit by virtue of the identity of a woman. Many men in the army are not her opponents! ”
"It's true that I'm a heroine, but why do I always think that this General Zaanna is a little hostile to me?" Jun Wan was puzzled.
