Today, the Horqin Royal Court prepared a grand welcome ceremony for Wang Qi and the entire delegation.

The entire tent of the royal court has been replaced with colorful hata, blue, white, yellow, green, and red silk fluttering, and the ground has also been covered with a red carpet, extending from the big tent where Wang Qi is located to the location of the royal court.

On the high hillside behind the royal court, it is a cone-shaped high platform built with huge white stones, there is a pagoda made of golden green tiles, surrounded by more than 100 monks, wearing robes and robes, broad-sleeved red robes, wearing a flat-topped square hat, closing eyes and chanting, the whole scene is solemn and solemn, above the stupa is the colorful flag fluttering, looking from afar, like the holy land of gods and Buddhas, under the sun, brilliant light.

For Horqin, leading the most distinguished guests to visit the glazed pagoda is the highest etiquette for entertaining guests.

"Distinguished guests from Daming, please!"

The four-member political group led by Yue Shan led Wang Qi through the royal tent, and behind him were the Ming delegation and the noble leaders of the Horqin tribes.

Not long after, on the hillside, Yue Shan and Wang Qi stood side by side, facing the golden glazed pagoda together.

Wang Qi walked all the way, and within twelve hours of arriving at the royal court, no less than one hundred and fifty Jianzhou Jurchens had died at his hands...... even took the life of the Great Khan of Korqin, which is really ironic.

Hey, squinting his eyes, Wang Qi looked at the glittering glazed pagoda in the distance, revealing a smile that was incomprehensible: "I really can't help but want to pay homage to this colorful golden Buddha." ”

"The world is complicated, how can there be so many things that are as good as they should be?" Yue Shan didn't care about Wang Qi's words, he raised his head and smiled: "Now we are still standing here, aren't we?" ”

"I hope that the friendship between Daming and Horqin will last forever!" Yue Shan stretched out his palm and took a bowl of poured wine from the guard beside him.

Wang Qi nodded and agreed: It is true that there is eternal interest, and there will be eternal friendship.

The long wind blows, the chanting sound surrounds, and the light of the stupa shines on the hillside, sprinkled on Yue Shan and Wang Qi's body, like bathing in golden Buddha light.

"I'll drink this bowl of wine with my lords!" Yue Shan picked up the wine bowl and held it flat in front of Wang Qi.

"Of course!" Wang Qi was solemn.

Taking the steel dagger, the two of them slashed their palms and dripped blood into the bowl.

Blood dripped into the drink, creating a circle of ripples.

In a short time, the whole bowl of wine had turned bright red.

Yue Shan made the first move, raised his head to drink and entered, the Adam's apple rolled, and half a bowl of blood water had already entered the throat and intestines.

"Please!" The corners of Yue Shan's mouth were stained with bright red water.

Taking the wine bowl, Wang Qi did not hesitate: "Please!" ”

The wine enters the throat and is drunk in one go.

"Good brother!" Yue Shan laughed and reached out to pat Wang Qi on the shoulder, the chief minister of parliament was in a particularly happy mood.

Drinking a bowl of blood wine together, from now on they are brothers in the same robe, and it is difficult to give up.

Wang Qi turned the wine bowl upside down, and the corners of his mouth were also smiling.

"I, Yue Shan, as the Minister of Horqin, swear to the Lord of the Glazed Buddha," Yue Shan turned around and faced the pagoda: "From now on, the Ming Dynasty and Horqin are brothers' allies and will not invade each other!" ”

"I, Wang Qi, as the envoy of the Ming Emperor, swear to the Lord of the Buddha," Wang Qi also said to the Buddha Pagoda that shimmered with brilliant golden light: "From now on, Daming and Horqin should be brothers and allies, watching and helping each other!" ”

After that, in front of the glazed pagoda, the monks stepped forward, lit huge incense candles, recited Buddhist scriptures, and almost instantly, the beautiful Sanskrit sound filled the entire royal court.

Whether it is Horqin or Chahar in Mongolia, or the Jianzhou Jurchen in Liaodong, Haixi Jurchen and other ethnic groups, there are devout people who worship Buddha, which is more than 500 years of inheritance.

Therefore, in all the Horqin royal court, most of the people have some respect for the Buddha.

However, Wang Qi is naturally not among them, in his past and present lives, he has always only believed in himself, even if he is a cow, a ghost, a snake and a god, he has always bullied the soft and feared the hard.

Standing in front of the pagoda, Wang Qi looked up at the glazed pagoda that shimmered with golden light, and inside was the place where the relics of the Living Buddha were enshrined: "There is a true Buddha in the world, but it is never in the red dust, what is the use?" There are many sufferings in the world, and the only one who can rely on yourself is yourself. ”

Nearly an hour later, the tedious ritual finally ended.

Next, it's time to have a drink.

Whether it is the Ming Dynasty or the founding of the state, the same is true of the Horqin grassland, no matter where you are, eating and drinking and talking about things is the most appropriate for the situation.

In the royal court's big tent, a banquet and a whole sheep have already been prepared, waiting for the guests to enter the table.

"Please! Brothers can taste the cattle and sheep of my Horqin grassland, how delicious the roasted meat is, and what a taste of mare's milk wine! ”

After the blood alliance, Yue Shan's attitude towards Wang Qi has obviously changed greatly, and even the title has changed from Lord Wang to little brother.

In addition, Wang Qi even felt that Hai Lanzhu's entry and pillow last night was not only her personal will, but also as a political victim and transaction, and was given to Wang Qi.

Wang Qi believes that if it was Jianzhou Huang Taiji who won the final victory last night, then Hai Lanzhu's body would be enjoyed by Huang Taiji.

For the victor, this is Hai Lanzhu, and it is also the fate that all the noble women of the feudal empire cannot escape!

"Brother Wang, please!"

"Your Excellency, please!"

Yue Shan and Wang Qi were divided into the positions of the top and left, and under the table were the representatives of the Ming mission, and the nobles of the Horqin tribe, including the other three council kings, and the leaders of the various tribes.

The banquet in Horqin is different from that in the country.

There are side dishes, seasonings and wine cups in front of everyone's table, and the real main ingredient is the huge roasted whole lamb in the middle of the big tent.

"To welcome guests from afar!" Yue Shan took the lead in raising his glass: "Cheers!" ”

Picking up the wine cup, Wang Qi drank it all.

The alcohol mixed with the animal's milk gave the mare's milk a strong fishy smell in the mouth, which ran down the throat and into the abdomen, and a boiling sensation came up.

It's hard to describe the taste.

"Hahaha, Brother Wang, mare's milk wine must be eaten with roasted and tender mutton to offset the fishy taste!" Yue Shan saw Wang Qi's somewhat sad expression, and immediately laughed.

At this moment, a maid stepped forward to buy a burnt leg of lamb for Wang Qi, and at the same time sprinkled it with seasoning sauce.

Almost instantly, the smell of meat rushed to the nose with a slight smell of burnt beard, which made people feel appetizing.

Wang Qi reached out and grabbed the leg of mutton and tore it directly into his mouth.

The tender mutton is slightly charred by charcoal fire, and the entrance has a slight smell of charcoal fire, which enters the abdomen through the throat and intestines, and instantly suppresses the tumbling in the stomach and intestines.

At this time, when I go back to the aftertaste, the fishy flesh between the lips and teeth also becomes faint, leaving only the umami of mare's milk and the aroma of mutton.

Smack...... General Du Wei licked his lips: mare's milk wine is not so unacceptable.
