Volume 1 The Rise of Dingxi Chapter 145 I Can't Bear to Laugh [2]
The Grassland Court.
Moon-swallowing department.
Most of the Gong Yurong was feasting guests in his main tent.
The other party to the banquet was not from the Prairie Royal Court.
Rather, it was an ordinary caravan.
A caravan from the Earthquake North Domain.
Since the king of Dingxi beheaded He Youjian and put wine in Jiying Town.
The trade route between the Dingxi royal domain and the grassland royal court was interrupted.
But the ironware, gold, jade, and even beauties of the Central Plains.
But they are all cherished and urgently needed by these nobles of the grassland royal court.
As the majority of the Moon-Swallowing Division.
This main tent is also extremely luxurious.
It is said that the people of the grassland royal court have not yet liked the text.
Not really.
As a low-level grassland dweller, this sentence is true.
But like Yurong, who was born in an aristocracy, has received a good education since he was a child.
First of all, of course, is the history of the grassland royal court, as well as the culture of the people.
Although I don't like the text.
But the grassland royal court still has a cultural inheritance that it can take charge of.
Yurong is very good at painting.
It's just that his paintings are different from the Five Great Kings at first glance.
It strongly reflects the nomadic and hunting life of the people of the grassland royal court.
There are few people and many animals on these paintings.
It is mainly based on fighting scenes.
It shows the bloody and bestial nature of the grassland royal court.
In Yurong's main tent, a large carpet was laid on the ground.
From the tent doorway, it spread all the way to the back of his seat.
The base color of the carpet is dark brown.
It looks no different from dirt.
But on the edge of the carpet, a three-finger-wide welt is embroidered with red, red, green and green silk threads.
Along the welt, there are four more small squares at the corners.
Each small square has seven trees on it.
Originally, there were nine of them.
Because the wolf king who took office in the grassland royal court likes the number 'nine'.
And this wolf king likes the number 'seven'.
Because of his personal preference, Yurong ordered two trees to be erased from the four corners of the carpet in his main tent.
The prestige of this wolf king Mingyao in the grassland can be imagined.
Between the trees, there are also pairs of beasts chasing and frolicking each other.
It is dominated by deer and tigers.
Stretching along the four corners to the center, there are various interlaced patterns.
These patterns are all crimson.
It makes this carpet with a deep background a touch of brightness.
In the middle of the carpet is a cloud made of colorful brocade alone.
This colored brocade is not a product of the grassland.
It must be from the Five Great Domains.
Through the hands of these caravans, it spread to the grassland region.
Originally, in the center of this carpet, there was a hero who bent his bow and shot the eagle.
The prototype of the hero is the last minister of the Moon Swallowing Department.
That is, Yurong's father.
In the previous Dabu Gong, after being cut off by Tang Ming in the war and seriously injured, Yurong succeeded to the throne.
He was not the eldest son of the previous minister.
Even she's not a man.
However, the grassland royal court has always been virtuous and not long-standing, which is much more enlightened than the five major royal domains.
But even if it's open-minded.
It is far from the point where a woman can succeed him.
And in addition to the wolf king Mingyao, in the entire grassland royal court, only the three Gong Sifeng of the Moon Swallowing Department knew about it.
Because they are sisters and brothers.
Or a mother's sibling.
Therefore, Yurong has always been dressed as a man.
In addition, even if you are a woman, the grassland people are all big shoulders and round waists, and they are extremely strong.
After looking at it for a long time, it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity.
After all, after that war, there are not many people who know that Yurong is a daughter.
The few remaining old men are all diehards of their fathers.
I won't come out of the way to tear it down.
What's more, Si Feng didn't want his sister and brother to fight, so he voluntarily backed down.
Willing to only be a three-part duke, to assist my sister.
As for the two Gongzhi texts, they are the descendants of the wolf king Mingyao.
He can't be counted as a person who swallows the moon.
Although the Prairie Royal Court seems to be centralized, it is under the seat of the wolf king Mingyao.
In fact, each one is extremely exclusive.
Everyone knows where Zhiwen came from.
It's nothing more than a wedge inserted by the wolf king Mingyao in the moon swallowing department.
Although deep down, he was excluded by the vast number of people in the Moon Swallowing Department.
But on the face, you still have to be careful to serve.
At least when Si Feng entered the account, Yurong would never get up.
And when this Zhiwen arrived, Yurong would open the tent to greet him.
"Most of the princess!"
Zhiwen said with a fist after entering the tent.
"You're welcome!"
Yurong returned the salute with a fist, and his right hand was falsely drawn.
Motioned for Zhiwen to take a seat.
This fist salute was originally a habit that the grassland did not have.
I learned it from the people of the Five Great Realms.
The temperament of the grassland people is much more passionate and fierce than that of the people of the Five Great Domains.
Even if it is a person in Jiying Town, it can't be beaten.
It has always been a way to greet each other by hugging veneers.
But Yurong is a daughter.
After all, there are many inconveniences in this etiquette.
Fortunately, although the grassland and the five kings have been conquering for many years, they can be regarded as fused with each other.
I don't know when this fist hug salute spread.
Yurong will not refuse this.
It can even be said to be a person who fuels the troubles.
Even when she went to another department, the other party had already opened his arms to show a hug.
Yurong didn't move, his hands raised into a fist.
The other party had no choice but to withdraw his already open arms and return with a fist.
Then the guests and hosts enjoy themselves.
After Zhiwen sat down, he looked around the tent and found that there was still a vacant seat.
"Si Feng still has some things to deal with, and he will be late. The second minister doesn't bother. β
Yurong said.
That vacant seat is naturally reserved for the three Gong Sifeng.
"Isn't it calm at the moment?"
Zhiwen asked.
Yurong's eyelids lifted slightly.
And he didn't make a sound.
Although the two seem to be intimate and polite.
In fact, there are confrontations everywhere.
But at the moment, it is indeed calm, which is true of what Zhiwen said.
She really didn't expect that Zhiwen would be in trouble at this moment.
Facing the caravan of the Zhenbei King Domain sitting in the tent, Yurong felt a little embarrassed in his heart.
But she didn't move.
One is because he doesn't know how to deal with it yet.
The main reason is that he always has to be a bit of a big man. The answer was too fast, and it was inevitable that these people of the royal domain would see themselves clearly.
It's as if most of his ministers are just a faΓ§ade, but the real power is in the hands of these two public Zhiwen.
These people of the royal realm are shrewd to death.
I'm afraid there are more eyes than the grate.
One of the things he is best at is seeing the wind and making the rudder.
As long as Yurong shows a little clue, they will take advantage of the situation and bypass themselves. Privately and that. Zhiwen contact.
Let's not talk about the secrets of what I do.
Just the benefits of filial piety for the sake of trade with the steppe by these caravans can all be handed over.
Yurong thought to herself that although she could delay with words, in the final analysis, she still had to come as soon as possible.
To be honest, he really doesn't know what he and his brother have been doing lately.
Si Feng rarely stayed in the ministry.
Even more time is not in the steppe.
There are only two words in his heart, revenge.
Revenge for his dead father, who took office as the prince.
This can be said to be the meaning of his life.
Although Yurong knew that it would be wrong to go on like this.
But because of his love for his younger brother and the longing for his father who died in battle, he had to go.
The last time the siblings were in contact was after Iwako left.
The message from Si Feng was also very short.
Just say that everything is in order.
The wolf king Mingyao didn't know about the rocks.
But in order to convince the public and mobilize the resources of the ministry, Si Feng had to pretend to be the secret decree of the wolf king.
But after seeing Yanzi's thrilling evil arts, Si Feng also regretted it a little.
It is already a big sin to pretend to be the secret decree of the wolf king.
But at least you have to ventilate with your sister, most of the Gongyurong.
Now the Yanzi people have disappeared since they left.
I have been carefully planning for so long, and I didn't even participate in the moon festival.
If this rock is in breach of contract, it will be treacherous.
In the end, isn't the bamboo basket for water?
Every time I thought of this, it made Si Feng really have a headache.
In just a few days, the head wind was replaced.
As soon as you leave the tent, you must use a thick blanket to cover your head tightly.
As long as there is a slight gap, let the wind of the grassland blow.
He had a splitting headache and almost fainted.
Yurong asked him to come to the meeting, and he had already received it.
But it's really because the head wind is unbearable, and I stop and go along the way.
But it has been grinding for seven or eight days, and it has not yet arrived.
"Stop!"
If you talk about the past.
Sifeng has never been able to take a car.
In his eyes, riding in a car is the behavior of the weak.
Only those who are powerless in the Five Kingdoms like to ride in the car.
He has his own wolf ride.
As a warrior of the steppe.
The three males of the Swallowing Moon Department.
Naturally, it should be sitting on the wolf horse with his head held high.
But at such a gallop, how can he not commit a head wind?
For the sake of the great cause, I had no choice but to take the car.
There is a carport on the top of the wharf, and there are carriages on all sides.
It can block the cold wind and cold in the gallop.
"Where?"
Si Feng opened the car door and asked.
"It is still fifty miles away from the main account of the majority of the princes. β
Si Feng smiled bitterly when he heard this.
Fifty miles.
Replace it with the previous one.
The wolf under his crotch rode in less than a stick of incense before he could arrive.
But now the carriage is swaying, and it will take half a day to walk to say the least.
He took out the message from his sister Yurong from his arms.
Word by word, I read it again.
The moment I opened the door, the cold wind rushed to my head.
But it made him feel unbearable pain again.
He clenched his fists and dug his nails into his flesh.
Allow yourself to force your concentration.
Although it was slow to read, it was finally finished.
Si Feng took a long breath.
"Smack!"
He gritted his teeth and pushed the door open again.
Jumped off the car and stood in the wind.
Although the headache is cracking.
But his face was as usual.
"Sanbu Gong!Your body is ......"
The accompanying Moon-Swallowing Sergeant hurriedly wanted to step forward to help.
But he was pushed away by Si Feng.
"You, drive Xu Xing. Sit you down and let me ride the wolf. β
Si Feng casually pointed to someone and said.
The man was slightly stunned.
Because Si Feng hadn't been on a wolf ride for a while.
They serve as guards.
Waiting for the day and night.
I know this all too well.
But they didn't dare to disobey Si Feng's order in the slightest.
When even got off the wolf's back, let Si Feng go.
When Si Feng rode up, he saw the difficulty of his master.
But after all, he didn't reach out to help.
Because he knew Si Feng's temper.
He will never show his weak and cowardly side in front of others.
Not even your own guards.
The first few times, I fainted because of a head wind.
Being carried back to the camp by everyone has made him feel deeply embarrassed.
Three days.
Si Feng was furious in the tent.
A cup and plate were smashed and smashed.
He didn't eat a grain of rice, but drank a lot of wine.
"My sister's words in the message were urgent. I can't afford to delay any longer......"
Si Feng rode on the wolf ride.
And he began to gallop.
The guards in the rear did not even react.
In the blink of an eye, he was left behind a long distance.
ββββββββ
"Although it is peaceful, there is an idiom in the Five Great Princes, which is called being prepared for danger in times of peace. β
Yurong took a sip of the wine glass.
Then he said unhurriedly.
His gaze looked straight at the tent door without the slightest deviation.
This word is also known in the downfall. It's not just about being prepared for danger in times of peace, it's also about taking precautions. β
Zhiwen said.
"It seems that the second prince also knows a lot about the cultural customs of these five royal domains!"
Yurong said.
Turning his head to look at Zhiwen, he smiled slightly.
"Don't dare to be, since I don't know much about most of the princes! Most of the princes have inherited the words and deeds of the old ministers of the Swallowing Moon Department since childhood, and the words and deeds of the great heroes of the royal court must be much more than the following. β
Zhiwen bowed his head slightly and said humbly.
Yurong breathed a sigh of relief.
If Zhiwen continues to be as tough as before.
When this banquet is over, they will have to be laughed off by these people of the royal caravan.
However, the jade is a fine product. Immediately sensed the sharpness in Zhiwen's words.
On the surface, he praised himself for his noble generation and deep roots.
But in fact, isn't he saying that he is too close to the Five Great Domains?
The hat of the collaborator is buttoned down little by little.
Today you know an idiom in the royal domain, know a caravan the day after tomorrow.
But the benefits are always mutual.
No one can blindly take without giving anything in return.
What is the reward that Yurong can give?
Nature is the variety of the grassland royal court.
In Zhiwen's eyes.
It's nothing more than betraying the interests of the grassland royal court.
At least it's also the interests of the Moon Swallowing Division.
Wolf King Mingyao specially explained before sending Zhiwen to the Moon Swallowing Department.
He told Zhiwen.
This Swallowing Moon Department is subordinate to General Zuo Lu.
And the old minister who had just died in battle was a proud brother.
The human nature of the grassland is like a fire, and righteousness is the head.
The new death of his sworn brother must be to give the Moon-Swallowing Department extraordinary care.
What's more, the Moon Swallowing Department is the most powerful one in Zuo Lu, Angran's subordinates.
Even in that big war, his vitality was greatly damaged.
But the hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff.
Mingyao has always felt that there is a secret in the Moon Swallowing Department.
But because of his arrogant feelings, he has never been able to explore the details.
So he asked Zhiwen to come here for only one purpose.
Listen more, watch more, think more.
These three words look vague.
But in reality, it covers everything.
What does it mean to listen more?
Just listen to talk.
Especially between most of this Gong Yurong and the three Gong Sifeng.
What is multi-seeing?
Just look at the changes and faces of this public.
As for thinking more.
Zhiwen hasn't figured out anything yet.
But the wolf king Mingyao is indeed a Ming Monarch Holy Lord.
At least Zhiwen is not wrong.
I have to say that Zhiwen's sense of smell is too keen.
How long has it been since you came to the Moon Swallowing Division?
He aimed all his focus and spearhead at these three Gong Sifeng.
Yurong seems to be the majority of the dukes.
But when deliberating, they often obey the words of these three public thoughts.
Even if the two are the same father, it shouldn't be.
This was the beginning of Zhiwen's suspicions
After all, this Zuo Lu Angran and Right Lu Angxiong are still twins.
It's not that all day long, for a load of grain and grass, you can make a lot of trouble.
"But even so, these three ministers shouldn't be so lazy! When they received the letter from most of the ministers, they were not in the ministry. But it's a starry night, trying not to be too late. One is too disrespectful to most of you, and the other is not the hospitality of our grassland!"
Zhiwen picked up his wine glass and said after saluting the people of the royal domain caravan.
Yurong pursed her lips.
I thought the matter had been revealed.
Unexpectedly, this Zhiwen changed direction and made trouble again.
Neglect.
It's really a guy's way of playing.
It makes sense of common sense.
Si Feng was indeed slacking off today.
Although the steppe people are not as respectful and inferior as the five great royal domains.
But there is still a minimum rule to follow.
This Si Feng has been at the banquet for nearly half an hour and hasn't shown up, isn't it just slacking?
But the second half of Zhiwen's sentence is even more sinister.
Hearing Yurong's ears, it can be described as a bead of heart.
Hospitality.
As soon as these four words came out, those people from the royal domain caravan were obviously shocked and had a plan.
She was already able to think of it.
After this banquet is over.
The caravan leader would definitely go to Zhiwen's tent to pay a quiet visit.
"The second public statement is biased. Although I also admit that Si Feng is a little sluggish. But he can't make a mistake when it comes to hospitality. β
Yurong said.
He didn't have an idea at the moment.
can only avoid the important and light, and talk about it in a hurry.
"Oh? Could it be that the majority of the ministers have other arrangements for this?"
Zhiwen asked in surprise.
Yurong smiled lightly again.
It's very mysterious.
"Then I'll wait for the surprise of most of the princesses!"
Zhiwen said.
This sentence sealed Yurong's retreat again.
If Si Feng came, he didn't have the slightest preparation.
How can this be?
What's more, Zhiwen has already broken the word 'surprise'.
Even ordinary preparation is not enough to call it a surprise.
But that's it.
It's not good to think too much.
Yurong picked up the wine glass and said a few absent-minded polite words.
It can be regarded as making up for the slackness between Fang Cai and Zhiwen's words towards the people of this royal domain caravan.
Just as her glass fell back on the table.
The tent was lifted.
"It's late!"
Si Feng held on to the pillars of the tents.
Settle down.
The pain of the head wind had brought him to the brink of collapse.
But he knew he had to hold on.
Even if you want to faint, you have to wait until the guests and hosts have enjoyed themselves.
These words came out of his teeth.
But as long as he said it, it was smooth and his tone was steady.
Then he stepped into the tent.
First of all, he gave a fist salute to Yurong.
Then he turned around and said the same hello to Zhiwen.
Then he sat down in his place.
It's just that when he sat down, Yurong saw that his younger brother's body was trembling slightly.
"The second prince is busy!"
Zhiwen really took the lead again.
"Peace is like this, what is the matter? I just received the order of the majority of the princes to make some special preparations for these friends who came from afar from the royal domain. Unexpectedly, it was delayed for a long time. β
Si Feng said.
With that, he got up and drank three glasses of himself.
Said that it was a punishment for being late.
In fact, I wanted to use this wine to suppress my headache.
"I see! I said that the second prince would not be so ignorant of etiquette, but it was a little arbitrary!"
Zhiwen stood up, bowed slightly and said.
Yurong's eyes narrowed.
She felt that she still underestimated this Zhiwen a little.
Obviously, it has always been his language that has prevailed before.
But when he sees his own side running, he can generously admit this unwarranted mistake.
With such a heart, he must have a big plan one day.
Yurong and Si Feng looked at each other.
The sister and brother already have a tacit understanding in their hearts.
Even if this person cannot be removed, he will be more fortified than before!
