Chapter 43: King Turi
Outside the royal tent of King Tuli, the leader of the six tribes of the Dongyue clan, Mu Sheng took a few guards to prepare gifts, and waited for King Tuli's summons with some trepidation.
After a while, a knight of the Dongyue clan came out of the king's tent and reported, "Qi Changpingjun, the king invites you to enter the account to discuss matters." ”
Mu Sheng followed behind the guards, walked into the largest camp tent in the middle, and after entering the big tent, he saw a burly middle-aged man sitting in the center of the big tent, with a deep nose and high eyes, and a traditional Hun dress, this person was the leader of the six tribes of the Dongyue clan, Ruimu Qiu, the king of Tuli.
Mu Sheng settled his mind, stepped forward and bowed and saluted, "Mu Sheng, see King Tuli." ”
Rui Muqiu saw that Mu Sheng had entered the account, and stretched out his hand with a smile to invite, "Changpingjun is exempt, please take a seat, how can Changpingjun have the kung fu to come to this king?" ”
Mu Sheng knew that Rui Muqiu was asking knowingly, or said with a smiling face, "King Qiyu, since the younger generation saw your demeanor and bearing at the conference, the younger generation also yearns for it, so I came here to visit and make friends with you, the king." ”
Mu Sheng clapped his hands, and the guards outside the tent brought two large boxes of gifts to offer, "Prepare a small gift, and ask the king to smile." ”
Rui Muqiu smiled and said, "Changpingjun is polite, he will come, why bother to spend so much." ”
"Someone! Serve the wine. ”
Several maids took the wine and barbecued meat on the table and retreated, Mu Sheng looked at the white and sticky wine in the glass, and smelled that there seemed to be a hint of milk in it.
Rui Muqiu raised his glass and invited, "Changpingjun, this is our unique mare's milk wine of the grassland people, please taste Changpingjun." ”
Mu Sheng took a sip of the wine glass, his brows were slightly loose, and he couldn't help but praise, "Good wine, smooth in the mouth, moderate taste, this wine is different from ordinary mare's milk wine, it seems that there are a lot of spices mixed in it, almost removing the milky smell, which not only retains the mellow aroma of mare's milk wine, but also retains the viscous taste of mare's milk, which is indeed a good product!" ”
Rui Muqiu said with a smile, "Changping Jun knows the goods, this wine has a lot of precious spices transported from the Western Regions, and our Dongyue clan will only serve this wine when entertaining distinguished guests." ”
When Mu Sheng heard this, he hugged his fists and saluted, "The king raises love, and the younger generation is flattered." ”
At this time, a young man came from outside the tent, Mu Sheng looked up, and saw that this person looked like Rui Muqiu, and he knew in his heart that it should be the heir of King Tuli!
Sure enough, the man stepped forward and saluted, "Father, did you call me?" ”
Rui Mu Qiu pointed to the man and introduced to Mu Sheng, "Changping Jun, he is Rui Muhe, the son of this king. ”
"He'er has come to see Changping-kun."
Rui Muhe stepped forward and bowed and said, "I have seen Changpingjun, Changpingjun won the first place in the riding and archery competition that day, and I wanted to make friends with you, but I didn't expect you to come here to visit." ”
Mu Sheng got up and saluted back, "The prince has been raised, and the skill of the micro end is not enough to worry about." ”
Mu Sheng raised his glass and toasted to them, "The king and the prince were both heroes at that time, and it is a blessing for this monarch to be a guest on the throne here, and I drink this cup to the full." ”
Rui Muqiu smiled: "Changping-kun is polite. ”
After five flavors of food and three rounds of wine, the three of them chatted for a while, and the prince Ruimuhe proposed to go out hunting, and a few people happened to drink to the head, so they went out of the camp tent and rode their horses to the hunting ground.
The three of them turned over and got on their horses, and each of them followed hundreds of guards to hunt, this grassland man is so casual, Mu Sheng naturally did not dare to slack off in order to make friends with the king of Tuli.
After everyone went to the hunting ground, they hunted freely, and Mu Sheng rode his horse and shot an arrow and shot a wild boar, and the guards behind him suddenly cheered.
The father and son of the king of Tuli also hunted a lot of wild animals, and the three teams of hunting horses galloped in the hunting grounds, and the hooves of the horses were bursting, and the cheers of everyone after hunting the booty were endless.
At this moment, a flock of southbound geese flew in the sky.
Shizi Ruimu Heze came to Mu Sheng's side, pointed to the group of geese and said, "Changping Jun, I heard that you are a rare marksman among the Jin people, why don't we compare whether we can shoot down the geese in the sky." ”
"Good! That's exactly what I mean. ”
Mu Sheng raised his head and looked at the geese in the sky, estimated the distance in his heart, and reluctantly raised the bow and arrow in his hand, and said, "Shizi, my bow is only a hunting bow of about six stones, and if you want to shoot the geese in the sky, you must at least use a hard bow of more than ten stones to be able to get the geese." ”
Hearing this, Shizi looked at it, and said with a smile, "It's me who has neglected, what Changping Jun said is that there is no sharp weapon in our hands at such a distance, but there is nothing to be done......"
At this time, the king of Tuli, Rui Mu Qiu, turned his head and explained a few words to the guards around him, and the guards turned around and left, and with a stick of incense, the Hun guards went and returned, holding a bow in their hands and coming to Rui Mu Qiu, and carefully handed it to him.
Rui Mu Qiu said, "Changping Jun, this king happens to have an ancestral treasure bow of twelve stones in his hand, is it enough to shoot geese?" ”
Mu Sheng looked at the longbow in his hand, nodded again and again, and said, "King, it's enough, this is definitely enough." ”
Seeing this, the prince Ruimuhe took the big bow and said, "Father, why don't I come first." ”
Rui Muhe pulled out the arrow, stretched out the bow and set the arrow, for a long time, the corners of his forehead sweated, he didn't expect that the bow of the twelve stones would be so laborious, aiming at the wild goose for a long time, and then put the bow in his hand.
Shizi shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Father, this twelve-stone bow is too laborious, and you can't do it if you want to keep it stable." ”
Rui Muqiu said in a serious tone, "That's for sure, this bow requires at least five thousand catties of arm strength to be able to control it steadily, you kid is still far behind, let you practice weekdays, you don't care, now it's embarrassing, right?" ”
After Rui Muqiu reprimanded the prince, he took the big bow, opened his bow and aimed at the geese in the sky, and loosened the bowstring cleanly, only to hear a loud sound, a wild goose in the sky fell in response, and the guards of the Dongyue clan shouted Long live the king!
Seeing this, Mu Sheng clapped his hands and cheered, "The king has good skills!" The younger generation also wants to borrow your bow from the king. ”
Rui Muqiu smiled and said, "Okay, this king is going to see Changpingjun's skills." ”
After that, Rui Muqiu directly threw the big bow to Mu Sheng.
Mu Sheng took the bow, only to see that the big bow was wrapped with precious animal skin, this bow is heavier than the general bow, the bow wall is white, the two corners of the bow head are inlaid with gold animal heads, the beast mouth is biting the bowstring, the bow is actually made of monster beast bones, this bowstring is also made of an excellent material, it can be called a work of art.
Mu Sheng couldn't help but admire, "A good bow, it's really a good bow." ”
With this artifact in hand, he looked up at the wild geese in the sky, and directly pulled out two feather arrows from the quiver and put them on the bowstring.
King Tuli's father and son were also slightly shocked when they saw it, could it be that this son wanted to kill two birds with one stone?
Mu Sheng put his bow on the arrow, at this time he had entered a state of self-forgetfulness, only the geese in the sky in his eyes, a few moments, only heard a sound, the two geese in the sky actually fell at the same time, such a miraculous archery skills surprised everyone.
The people of the Dongyue clan shouted and cheered when they saw Gongzi Sheng so good at shooting, and couldn't help but cheer for him, the grassland men respected the warriors very much, and whether they could win their respect depended on whether the strength was strong.
Rui Muqiu also praised, "Changping Jun is indeed a dragon and phoenix among people, such a magic skill, rare in the world!" ”
Mu Sheng was a little embarrassed to be praised, and said with a smile, "The king has won the award, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, or the king, your bow is easy to use, and the younger generations can use this bow to show their skills and sacrifice their ugliness." ”
Rui Muqiu smiled, "Since ancient times, young people have been heroes, you are very good." ”
When the hunt was over, they turned back to the camp and drank for fun.
In a few days, as long as Mu Sheng had time, he ran to King Tuli's side, and gradually became very familiar with their father and son.
Today, Mu Sheng couldn't move to the camp of King Tuli and invited their father and son to go hunting.
At this time, there was only Rui Muqiu, the king of Tuli, in the tent, but he did not see the prince, Mu Sheng knew in his heart, and he was afraid that the king of Tuli had something to talk about alone.
Rui Mu Qiu said, "Changping-kun, please take a seat." ”
After Mu Sheng took his seat.
Rui Muqiu raised his glass and said with a smile: "This king has been familiar with Changping Jun at first sight in the past few days, no wonder His Majesty wants to canonize you as a feudal king, there is indeed something extraordinary." ”
Mu Sheng smiled and said, "The king praises falsely, the younger generation can drink and talk with the king, it is the king that you look up to the younger generation, and the younger generation is deeply honored." ”
The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.
The two of them drank about the same, Rui Muqiu raised his eyebrows, and said, "Changpingjun, you have come to make friends with this king these days, I'm afraid you have another purpose, right?" ”
When Mu Sheng heard this, since the words were clear, he got up and came to Rui Muqiu, bowed down and said, "King Mingjian, the younger generation has something to ask the king to fulfill." ”
Rui Muqiu saw Mu Sheng bowing and worshipping, and he knew why he was like this.
Rui Muqiu got up and helped Mu Sheng up, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "This king naturally understands what you are doing, a few days ago, you had a private tryst with the little girl, this king is clear, Yi'er She has been making trouble to see you, Changping Jun, alas! It's really a big woman. ”
Mu Sheng was overjoyed when he heard this, it seems that there is a door!
Unexpectedly, Rui Muqiu changed his words and said, "It stands to reason that with your character like Changpingjun, this king really shouldn't stop the good things of the two of you, it's a pity!" This king only has this one daughter, and she is regarded as a pearl in her palm on weekdays, and she is really reluctant to marry her. ”
Mu Sheng's heart moved, and he hurriedly said, "Your old man, please rest assured, if Princess Yi is willing to marry me, I swear that I will be obedient to her, and I will never fail her in this life." ”
At this time, Mu Sheng almost wanted to call King Tuli's father-in-law.
Rui Muqiu looked at Mu Sheng, paused in his tone, and said, "Changpingjun, you are a good son, and this king only has this one daughter, if I have two daughters, I will definitely marry Yi'er Xu to you." ”
Mu Sheng smiled bitterly in his heart, in fact, he was also prepared in his heart, but when the answer was really revealed, the bitterness in his heart still flowed to the bottom of his heart for no reason.
Mu Sheng bowed and saluted, "King, I understand, don't leave it today, and I won't disturb you, the King." ”
King Tuli bowed slightly, and said, "Changpingjun, please." ”
After Mu Sheng left, a person came to the back account, and it was Rui Muhe, the son of King Tuli.
Rui Mu He said, "Father, these days of getting along, I think Changping Jun is very good, in terms of character and appearance is also the best choice, the third sister loves him, he is also His Majesty's own Changping Jun, and the identity is not an insult to our Ruimu family, our Ruimu family has always been married to the royal family, why is my father unwilling to fulfill them?" ”
Rui Muqiu sighed, "He's a good boy, it's a pity! He is not the crown prince, the women of our Ruimu family can only marry the Son of Heaven of the Great Jin Dynasty, or the prince, or the prince of various departments, Changping Jun is just a small feudal monarch, not qualified enough, if he is the prince, this king will beat the gong and drum and paste the bride price to send his daughter to his house in person, do you understand? ”
Rui Muhe said, "Erchen understands, it's just that the third sister has been making a lot of trouble these days. ”
Rui Muqiu didn't want to be entangled on this issue, he said to the prince, "Yi'er, this girl is really a headache for me, originally let her find a chance to get closer to the prince, but she is good, mixed with this Changping Jun, now she is going to die or live, you go back and persuade your third sister to take the overall situation first, don't play with the child's temper anymore." ”
Rui Muhe also knew the severity when he heard this, and sighed in his heart that this pair of hard-working mandarin ducks had to go to Rui Muyi's camp to patiently enlighten the third sister.
