"That's really blessed!" the fat man laughed and said to Ulcon cheerfully, "Hearing you say this, all the fatigue in my body is gone, and a beautiful woman like Miss Felinscottina, who is famous in Aire, if a small merchant like me can be lucky enough to meet her, even if she dies!"
"Yes, Your Excellency is really joking!" Ulcondo sneered at the corner of his mouth, his keen eyes glanced at the fat man and the thirty or so caravan guards behind him, and said, "If even a person like Your Excellency is a small person, then there are no big people in this area!"
"The carriage behind us is full of supplies needed here, if you don't believe it, you can check it out for yourself," the fat man's face was stunned
"No, the steppe people never believe in what they see with their eyes, we only trust our intuition, if I guess correctly, your destination should not be my Tongheji, but the garrison of the Falcon Army thirty miles away from here" Ulcondo pursed the corners of his mouth with disdain, and said with a slightly cold face
"Oh, why do you think that?" The smile on the fat man's face faded away, and his jet-black eyes looked at Ulcondo in front of him with some interest,
A hint of pride flashed on Urcondo's face, and he said, "The so-called caravan guards behind you should be famous warriors in the army, their clothes and appearance can be changed, and their weapons can be hidden, but the blood on their bodies, and the smell that only belongs to the battlefield, can be smelled from a mile away! Don't you see the wolves along the way running far away? The sensitivity of the steppe wolf is the most famous."
"Haha, there's something like that, that's so interesting!"
The fat man smiled heartily, shrugged his shoulders, and spread his hand, "Urcondo Patriarch's gaze is vicious, okay, I admit that we are army people, and the destination we want is indeed the Falcon army camp in front! We have no ill will towards Tongheji, we are just passing by, rest here for one night, we will leave early tomorrow morning, and ask the patriarch to give us a convenience!"
"As long as it's not an enemy, we're all welcome!" Seeing that the fat man was also an honest person, a smile appeared on Urcondo's somewhat swarthy face,
With the unique boldness of the prairie people, he said, "Tong Heji only talks about hungry wolves shutting out the door, and never closes the door to guests! Although I don't know who you are, I can see that you are a figure who has seen the world, and in the eyes of a character like you, Tong Heji is just a slightly luxuriant bazaar!"
"The patriarch is indeed a frank man!" the fat man sighed, leaned over on his horse, and began to talk with the Urcondo patriarch,
"I heard that the patriarch went to the three northern counties some time ago, which used to be the territory of the Rui Erdian people, and now it is completely subsumed into the Falcon Dynasty, which is somewhat similar to the current situation of the Eastern Court, with the eyes of the patriarch, I don't know what he thinks of the situation after the Eastern Court is subsumed into the Falcon Dynasty?"
Talking about his own experience, the bold Ulcondo said excitedly, "Although I am only a small patriarch, I have also been to the distant north and south, and I can say without hesitation that these two places together are not as good as one-tenth of the three northern counties.
I have never seen so many wagons, caravans, ships, shops selling everything, ships like hills, full of goods sailing on the vast river, I am not uninformed, I have been in Motu for a year, and I would never believe it if I had not seen it with my own eyes!
"Oh, you've been to the distant Northlands?" The fat man's face flickered, he was about to start a war with the Northlands, but he was blank for the frozen plateau in the north, otherwise, he didn't need to let the Dongting people test the water first...,
"That's all an act of excitement when I was young," Ulcondo's voice stopped, as if he didn't want to talk about it, and looked at the market lights that were getting closer and closer in front of him, and said with a distant expression, "Do you know how much of the leather goods I brought with me this time were sold? 10,000! That's 10,000 gold coins, this is the whole of your tribe for five years without eating or drinking, and it is possible to accumulate such wealth! Now I am a little envious of those tribes who have migrated south,
Although they have left the hereditary water meadows and seem to have abandoned the traditional herding life, they have won a golden opportunity for their tribe to develop.
Being close to the densely populated center of the continent and enjoying the favorable terms of trade, in less than ten years, they will be able to realize the dream of building their own city like the Sikugit!
While the two were talking, the Tonghe Ji in front of them had quietly arrived, the gate of the market hung with red torches was wide open, and the joyful shouts from the roadside tavern could be faintly heard inside, there were rough and noisy male voices, and there were also debauched and seductive female voices, which looked particularly charming and moving in this dark night with flashing lights, and there were still human figures on the concentrated streets
Seeing that his Tongheji was about to arrive, Urcondo in front of him began to get excited,
He raised the whip in his hand, pointed in the direction of the distant voice, and turned back to his subordinates behind him with a loud laugh and curse
"Who would bet on me that Lettinis must have hooked up with someone this time? Listen to this bear-like voice, it is definitely Ninado of the Razor Division, I heard that he has coveted my sister for a long time!"
"Haha, my lord, you are wrong, I dare to pay 5 silver coins, bet on this voice, it is definitely Don't let Sko of the Scuta Ministry" said a man of your with a horse and whip, "Who doesn't know that he is one of Miss Lettinis's most ardent and most seekers, and it is said that they are going to start a duel to the death for the sake of Miss"
"If both of them die, it would be better if we were all dead, and we would be able to take possession of the entire ranch!" Urcondo did not shy away from talking about his sister's reputation,
Gao raised his horsewhip and said with a smile, "But before that, what we need most now is to go home immediately, and then let our wives wash it herself! Because only a hot bucket of water can wash the dust off our bodies, and only by applying spices can we go to the pro-Japanese festival, right?"
"Haha" everyone was happy,
The horse's hooves were flying, and he heard a strange laughter behind him, and the fat man rode a horse to follow him, and he had to sigh secretly, this Ulcondo is also a capable guy, a relaxed joke, so that the fatigue of his subordinates' long-distance travel seems to have dissipated invisibly,
"What is the pro-Japanese festival?" asked the fat man, with some curiosity
Ulcondo explained to the fat man: "The pro-Japanese festival is the festival of our own tribe, although the tribe is now moving south, but for the three small tribes left, it is still very important to this festival, in this festival, all men, both young and old, can give gifts to the woman they like, or try their best to show their strength, if they can touch the hearts of women, it is not impossible to spend a night together!"
"Is there such a thing? Would your wives agree?"
The fat man's face was slightly surprised, but it was only surprised, compared with the hundreds of thousands of West Kugit people who saw the national carnival in the holy city of Tulga in West Kugit, this pro-Japanese festival can be regarded as a small thing.
For the first time, the fat man felt that in fact, as a man of Kujit, it was a very happy thing, and the deformed frequent wars had created the customs and habits of this nation that were different from ordinary people, but it was this kind of vibrant festival that allowed this tribe to survive and continue in the long river of history
Urcondo replied excitedly, "In our prairie, there are only two things that can best prove the value of men, one is to tame the peerless horse, and the other is to conquer the most beautiful woman...,
Even our own wives have no power to stop us from doing so, and in the hearts of our tribal women, they will be proud of their husbands for being polygamous!
You know, my fifth wife became my wife last year on the day of the Japanese Festival
She was the most beautiful girl they had ever had, and hundreds of men pursued her, and I defeated them all and became my woman."
"By the way, a big man like you should have more than five wives, right? I have heard that in the interior you seem to prefer lovers rather than marry them back as wives, what a strange custom, don't you think this is an irresponsible practice? If you were in the prairie, you would definitely be sentenced to death by the tribes!"
Urcondo stopped his words and looked at the fat man with a narrow face, this question, even with the fat man's thick skin comparable to the city wall, couldn't help but blush,
He coughed with an embarrassed face before he said, "No, it's not like you said, although I don't know how others are, but I will never do that, I have 10 wives!"
"Mutual wives!"
Urcondo let out a sound of astonishment, obviously frightened, even among the polygamous Kujits, there are not many people who can have such a number of wives, in the Kugit tribal code, the average tribal leader can only marry five wives, unless it is a big man like the Khan, who is qualified to marry seven wives, and the scale of 10 wives is said to be possible only by the absurd monarchs of the interior
"You wouldn't start at the age of fifteen and then marry for 5 years in a row, 2 a year?!"
Ulcondo looked at the fat man with a strange face, and asked uncertainly, the age of the fat man looks no more than 20 years old, to say that there are 10 wives is outrageous, if it weren't for the fat man's appearance is so natural, there is no far-fetched expression at all, Ulcondo will not hesitate to think that the other party is lying
"No, I married seven at once! and then I married three again," the fat man replied calmly.
"Marry 7 at once, and then marry 3 again!" Ulcondo's eyes were bulging, staring at the fat man's expression like a fan had seen a super idol he had admired for a long time, and the last few asked unwillingly, "Do you really have 10 wives?"
"Don't I even know how many wives I have?"
The fat man glared at him viciously, thinking of the queen of the East Court who was attached to the East Court, and the two East Court princesses, he couldn't help but hate a little, it's been three months, and he hasn't really gone to the bed of the East Court Chief Princess Rui Tang Tingna, of course, it's still okay to touch the little hands or something,
But I accidentally saw that Urcondo's face was a little strange, like a defeated rooster
Could it be that this guy has such a penchant? The fat man, who was thinking about how to drag this guy who had been to the Northland onto his chariot, moved his mind, raised a stinky face, and said half-truthfully, "Why? I'm scared! I'm seven times a night, and all of them are peerless beauties."
"Indeed, there is no way to compare with a freak like you" Ulcondo, a straightforward Kugit man, drooped his head, and the fat man's expression had to make this Kugit man who was proud of having 5 wives just now deeply shocked,
"It's my house in front, and the wives at home have already boiled hot water for me, so I won't continue to accompany you!" Ulcondo wanted to slip away, casually pointing to a dilapidated little thatched hut in front of him, and talking nonsense
"Yes, you have five wives in a house like this, so you must not look good!" The fat man's eyes blinked, since he wanted to trap this guy, naturally he couldn't let him escape
"Nonsense, my wives are all as beautiful as the moon in the sky!If you don't believe me, you can ask my brothers behind me," Ulcondo shouted in an argument with a flushed face and a look of impatience...,
The thatched hut in front of the "squeak" suddenly opened, and under the eyes of everyone, a hobbled old woman came out of it, wearing a fully mended leather jacket and carrying a basket with a broken gap
"This is probably my sister-in-law, I didn't expect the patriarch's wife to look so beautiful and moving, and the little brother Jiuyang is here to ......!" the fat man stopped the war horse with a reverent face, turned over from the war horse, and went to greet the old woman who was already standing there
"Poof" Whether it's the guards or Urcondo's subordinates, they can no longer hide the smile on their lips...
Urcondo's face blushed, this dead fat man is so hateful, he knows that it is nonsense, and he still has to put on a serious look!
He gritted his teeth and pointed to the center of the market a hundred meters away, where there was a rather imposing villa, "Ahem, I was wrong, my house is actually the most central one!"
"Tsk. **// It's really magnificent!" The fat man touched his chin, looked at the villa in the distance, and looked at more and more people on the street, and said, "I guess what kind of pro-Japanese festival tonight will make the hotels on the market full, right?"
"It's natural, such an important festival, as long as the sentient man and woman will choose a place to spend the night together!" Ulcondo said casually
The fat man looked at him with a gloomy face and said, "Then what should we do, we can't sleep on the street at night, why don't we stay at the Urcondo patriarch's house tonight, we can pay enough for the accommodation"
"One gold coin per person!" Ulcondo pouted with great disdain, such a price was enough to scare away many people, of course, the fat man with deep pockets was not among them...
Two boring men who compared the number of wives with each other, one looked around with his head held high, and the other drooped his head, and slowly entered the gate of the villa in the center of Tongheji.
Of course, in the history of the Falcon Dynasty in later generations, it is recorded like this,
On May 19, the 2nd year of the imperial calendar, the Falcon Majesty, who was thinking hard about this route to the north, met Urcondo, who was known as the Wolf Guard of the North by later generations, in Tongheji.
The two had a great conversation, and Urcondo was impressed by the majesty of His Majesty the Falcon, and it was admired that this famous general, who was about to shine in the Battle of the Far North, remained loyal to His Majesty the Falcon for the rest of his life under all circumstances.
After settling down in Ulcondo's house, the fat man began to run restlessly towards the central hall where Ulcondo was,
"If I'm not mistaken, you said you've been to the Northland, you see that the moon is so beautiful tonight, it's still a pro-Japanese festival, as the host, how can you also meet some of the guests' requests?"
The fat man held his face in his hand, crossed one leg, and looked at the dignified Ulcondo who had just taken a shower but was blocked at the door.
"I don't know anything about the Northland, and I don't want to know! If you want to know about the Northland, you should ask the merchants in the bazaar, many of them have been to the Northland, and I am going out now, who stops me, I cut whom"
Ulcondo's eyes flashed with flaming anger, and the fat man's mention of the pro-Japanese festival made the Urcondo patriarch have the urge to kill, today is the pro-Japanese festival! Such a beautiful night, everyone else went to meet their little lover, but he was blocked at home by a lewd fat man, it was too embarrassing
"Tsk, why is Urcondo Patriarch so anxious" The fat man stood up from the door a little helplessly, looked up at the moon above his head, and said, "Tonight when the full moon is in the sky, it is the time to have a private meeting with the beautiful woman, originally, I also wanted to invite Urcondo Patriarch to enjoy Miss Firinskotina's most famous Philip Moon Wheel Dance with me, but I didn't expect Urcondo Patriarch to give Miss Firinsktina so little face, it would be a pity, I can only enjoy such a wonderful dance alone!"
"What are you talking about? Can you please Miss Firinskotina to dance the Philip Moon Wheel Dance under the full moon tonight?" Ulcondo stopped in mid-air with one foot that was about to step out of the door, and then retracted it, looking at the fat man in disbelief with his eyes, and hesitated for a moment,
He said disdainfully, "I was almost deceived by you again, Miss Firinskotina has stopped dancing the Feiyue Wheel Dance since she was placed under the flower soul of Messi Jielin with the Feiyue Wheel Dance and changed her name to Aifina, how can you reopen this ban because of your words?"
What's more, Miss Firinscottina has always lived in the center of the Langham, and has never gone out to perform, even with the respect of my patriarch, it is impossible to invite you, not to mention that you, an outsider, still need a reliable excuse next time you want to deceive people!"
"If you don't believe me, I can't help it!But I can guarantee that if you go out today, you will definitely regret hitting the wall" The fat man shrugged his shoulders slightly,
At this time, a servant of Ulcondo ran from the door in a panic and whispered almost a sentence in Ulcondo's ear, Ulcondo's face changed, and he asked, "What you said is true?"
"Yes, the whole Tonghe Ji is in chaos," the servant replied with a happy and worried face, "I don't know what the reason is, Miss Linscottina, who has never been out of Langham, suddenly announced in front of countless admirers that she was going to reopen the Crimson Moon Wheel Dance in public, and she was dancing in your mansion!"
Hearing the servant's affirmative answer, Ulcondo gasped, turned his head, stared at the fat man, and asked, "You did it? You must tell me how I did it! Otherwise, even if you did invite Miss Linscottina, I would not talk about what you wanted to know, because I don't want Miss Linskotina to do anything against my own decision!"
"There's nothing against herself, Miss Linscottina is willing to reopen the Scarlet Moon Wheel Dance, it's completely voluntary!" The fat man turned around with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, "I'm just telling her that I can give her a chance to challenge Messi Jielin, for a dancer who has failed, is there a greater temptation than this" I'm helping her, or, you just want her to stay forever in Tongheji!"
"No, I didn't think about it!" Ulcondo's face finally became flustered, from just now outside, the fat man had already noticed that this Miss Linscottina should be Ulcondo's death hole,
