Chapter 68: Seeking Gifts

Ekuru was glad that he hadn't put forward that condition in front of Zhang Yu before, otherwise if the people of the Eastern Court thought that this idea was very good, then he would have to find a way to refuse it now.

At this time, he changed his mind, avoided Yu Yuyang, pulled Zhanuicha aside alone, and said, "If you don't marry the sister of the king of the Eastern Court, what other way can you become the king of the Eastern Court?

Zanuitza thought hard and said, "Great Chief, the Antuko people should have learned the language of the Tianxia people. ”

Aikulong was slightly puzzled, and said, "The language of the Tianxia people, does this have anything to do with the throne?"

"It is said that it is the script and language used by countless gods in the Tianxia region, and it is the Antuco people who first learned these and mastered the knowledge and power contained in the language and writing, so that they were able to become the kings of the Eastern Court. ”

When he said this, he was also excited, and said: "The big chief, the weapons of the Dongting people, the buildings of the Dongting people, and the clothes of the Dongting people are much better than ours, and the most important thing is their way of governing, which is enough to rule the population of ten or hundred strong-claw tribes, as long as we learn the language and writing of the Tianxia people and know how to read their books, then we can learn these things." ”

Hearing this, Ekuru was intrigued, and he asked, "Is Tianxia's language difficult to learn?"

Zanuitza nodded vigorously and said, "It's hard to learn, the people of the Eastern Court have specially established a place to teach these languages, and the one who negotiated with the Great Chief Tianxia Divine Descendant is the person who is specifically responsible for teaching." ”

Ekuru has a very simple understanding, the more difficult it is to learn, the more precious it is to obtain, and in his mind, Zhang Yu's successors also include the sister of the king of Dongting, so what he teaches must be good things.

He couldn't help but have some thoughts, and then asked, "How did the people of Antuco learn that before?"

"I've heard of this, it is said that after the Dongting people came from the sea, they exchanged a large piece of land with the Antuko people with a lot of valuable things, and also used food and cloth to let the Antuko people work for them, so they are willing to teach the Antu people the language and writing." ”

When Ekuru heard this, he felt that it seemed to be a little familiar, and said, "Then the request made by the Tianxia Divine Descendant today is the request made by the people of Antuco at the beginning?"

Zanuitza thought for a moment and said, "It's very similar, maybe that's how they treat foreign tribes?"

Ekuru did not rush to make a decision immediately, waved Zanuitza away, and called for the Kamo priest, who came to him with the sweat on his head, and said, "Great chief, the altar is ready, and if necessary, we can always welcome the arrival of 'Toloti'." ”

Ekuru said, "Very well, Kamo Priest, I have one thing to ask you, what do you think we should do if we learn the Tianxia script and language?"

Kamo priest subconsciously replied: "If you learn the language and writing of the Tianxia people, then it will be difficult to preserve many ancient inheritances of our tribe......" But he immediately remembered that what Ekuru hated the most was those old things, and immediately changed his words: "Of course, the will of the Great Chief is the most correct. ”

When Ekuru heard that the old things would be erased, his eyes lit up, and he felt that it was even more necessary to learn them.

As for what the future will become, and what the impact will be, although he has some wisdom, just like many people suddenly come into contact with a new and strange thing, he can only refer to the past examples, and the most ready-made examples today are the people of Antuco.

At least in his opinion, the Antuco were successful, because the king of the Eastern Court was also half Antuco.

Ekuru glanced at the army in the distance, as well as the people who were following Yang Ying, and quickly made up his mind, and walked towards Zhang Yu again, until he stood still in front of him, and said, "Tianxia Divine Descendant, I have already thought about it, I want to talk to you again." ”

Yang Ying glanced at Ekuru curiously, she learned from An Chu'er that this person was the great chief of the Strongclaw Tribe, and it was the first time she had seen such a barbarian, who looked as strong as a bear.

Akuru twitched his cheeks when he saw her looking, avoiding her gaze.

Zhang Yu thought about it for a moment and said, "Yes, I'll come later." ”

Seeing that he agreed, Ekuru hurried away.

An Chu'er suddenly said softly: "Yang Ying, he is afraid of you." ”

Yang Ying snorted twice, triumphant, and waved the horsewhip brush in her hand twice, making a cross, in her mind, this barbarian was obviously afraid of the army he brought.

Zhang Yu took a few words of care to his students, and then took Wu Shijiao and others back to the shack, his attitude this time was still the same as before, and there was no change because of the arrival of the army.

Ekuru could clearly feel this, which made him have more respect for Zhang Yu.

After both sides sat down, he said solemnly: "Tianxia Divine Descendant, after consideration, we think that we can agree to your conditions, but we also have a condition, I hope you can agree." ”

Zhang Yudao: "As long as it is a reasonable condition, then it can be discussed." ”

Akuru stared at him and said, "You need to send someone to teach us the language and writing of Tianxia. ”

Zhang Yu's expression did not change, but Wu Shijiao and the others looked at each other, a little surprised.

They didn't expect a barbarian to take the initiative to make such a request, which had not been seen before. I don't know if he is a visionary or a conceited person, but on the surface, it seems to be a good thing?

Ekuru sensed the emotions of Wu Shijiao and the others, which seemed to contain a little disdain, which made him very angry, and said in an aggravated tone: "This is our most important condition, we can't back down!"

Zhang Yu thought for a moment and said, "If we send people to the Strongclaw Tribe, can you guarantee their safety?"

When Ekuru heard this, his heart was overjoyed, and he affirmed, "I can guarantee it!" he changed his mind, "If you don't feel at ease, we can send someone to study in your place with the people of the Eastern Court." ”

Zhang Yu nodded and said: "This is also a method, but the number of people you want to send is what you need to report, which needs to be reported in advance, and with the consent of the capital hall, you can enter my Tianxia territory." ”

Ekuru didn't think of this at all, and said dissatisfiedly, "So troublesome?"

Zhang Yu said lightly: "I said it, Tianxia has the rules of Tianxia, if you want to enter our territory, then you must abide by it." ”

Ekuru instinctively thought that this was a deliberate obstacle to their ability to learn the language and script of Tianxia. But the more this happened, the more he strengthened his thoughts.

He said: "Then it's better to do this first, Tianxia Divine Descendant, I think your few successors are good, they understand our language, it is better to let them start teaching my people some simple languages first, and we can talk about the rest later." ”

At this time, the Kamo priest came up and whispered something in his ear.

"By the way, if we want those beautiful clothes and armor that your people wear, we can let some of the warriors of your clan work for you first, in exchange for these things!"

This is a strong request from his sacrifice, for those gorgeous banners and majestic military uniforms and armor, although he can't describe the way, but the basic aesthetic is still there, and the armor can also be used to protect the warriors of his clan, so he also thinks this is a good suggestion.

Zhang Yu thought about it, among the few students who came back, Yu Yuyang and the other two male students were more suitable to do this, but this matter mainly depends on themselves, and he will not force it.

As for the armor and military uniforms, it's nothing, it's okay to order a batch specifically for the Claw Tribe, after all, the general armor is to block cold weapons, and it can't block fire guns.

He discussed with Yu Yuyang and the other two students, and all three of them expressed their willingness to stay. They all knew that this was a rare qualification, and that they could even reside in the Strongclaw Tribe in the future and be in charge of their communication with the Protectorate.

But there is one more thing to do before formal terms can be drawn up.

Zhang Yudao: "Great Chief Ekuru, we had a team of people who came to your ministry to be in charge of communication before, I don't know where they are now?"

Zhan Zhi and that group of people are still imprisoned in the Jianclaw tribe, personal contradictions aside, as an envoy, since the other party is a Tianxia person, then he must be questioned.

Ekuru spread his hands and said, "I didn't embarrass them, I kept them in custody before, just to protect them, you can take people away at any time." ”

Zhang Yu was not interested in listening to his self-beautifying remarks, as long as he was still sound, he stretched out his hand, took the pre-prepared contract from Wu Shijiao's hand, and then spread it out on the flat stump, and said: "Then let's hurry up, I have completed this treaty, and I have more things to do." ”
