Chapter 66: A Sale

(Thank you for the bloody reward at dusk, and thank you to the students who voted for me during my leave, you are so disciplined.) The 4,000-word chapter is regarded as making up for one chapter of arrears, and one chapter is still owed. )

In the northwest of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there are Teng, Gan, Liang, and four military states, and the four states of Beidi Jian, You, Ji, and Qing are called in the world, plus Yunzhou, which is close to the Western Regions and nominally includes 100,000 mountains of barbarians, which are collectively called the North Nine Sides.

The north of Liangzhou is the place under the jurisdiction of the so-called King Tent of the Golden Court of the Rong people, and the Golden Bill is the undisputed owner of this land of abundant water and grass.

On the vast grassland in the hinterland of the Jinting King's tent, a thousand-strong team of Rong people was marching along the river.

In the distance of their journey, there were endless pastures, endless white felt tents, and faint melodious pastoral songs and the neighing of horses.

Although at this time, a major battle on the southern border of the royal tent was about to break out, and the skirmishes between the Bairong warriors and the Zhou border army rangers were more frequent, but they certainly did not affect here.

In this strict and well-organized ranks, the ranks of the soldiers were very relaxed, and even filled with a certain joyful mood.

"Shan Yu Yiduo, how much price do you say Jin Bills will pay to buy you, the princess of the West Horde?"

The person who was questioned was a white young man on a horse, with a wide forehead, light eyebrows, and a slender and vigorous body.

He wore a white linen robe, and instead of a Rong felt hat, he wore a wooden crown to tie his hair, which was the usual dress of the Zhou people.

But he was obviously not a serious scholar, because there were two dark green hand axes pinned to his waist.

The blades of the axe are elegantly half-moon-shaped, extremely long and thin, shining with cold light, intertwined with each other, and forming a strangely shaped axe shield while introverting and hiding the edge.

Two dark green unicorns are carved on the axe, and the scales and claws are flying and lifelike, which adds a luxurious and mysterious charm to this axe and shield.

"I really misjudged you! Brother Shu Donghuang, you heartless demon is destined to be devoured by the poisonous fire of greed!"

Beside Geshu Donghuang, a young woman who was also riding a horse and wrapped in a black cloak replied, her tone full of indescribable resentment and disappointment, as well as a striking stubbornness.

The woman is slender, her complexion is fair among the prairie women, with a healthy flush, which complements the forehead made of rubies on her forehead, and a small white skirt appears under the black robe cloak that wraps her body, which is a typical white aristocratic woman's dress.

"Bai Rong is known as the seven surnames, in fact, there are three families in it with the surname Shan Yu, known as the king's tent, and they are qualified to compete for the throne of Da Shan Yu. ”

The two of them spoke in the Zhou language, not afraid of being heard by the Rong warriors who surrounded them.

Ge Shu Donghuang smiled coldly, his tone was gentle, and he snapped his fingers and calculated: "Your foolish father doesn't know what is crazy, but he dares to proclaim himself Da Danyu." The power of the Golden Account is far inferior to that of your Western Horde, and I am afraid that this heart has already been up and down. Even if Ganzhou was beaten into a sea of corpses and blood, they still did not dare to send troops to invade the south. ”

"So what? As I said, no matter how beautiful the pearl is, it is just a dead thing that cannot be eaten or clothed, and even if I fall into the hands of the King of Jinting, my father will not have any worries about throwing a mouse, let alone give up the precious pasture to redeem me. ”

Instead of being annoyed and angry as Yu Duoduo imagined, Geshu Donghuang smiled faintly, as if he had already made up his mind: "In addition to being a hostage of the King of the Golden Court, you can also be the Yan clan of the Golden Bill! The pasture of the West Tent cannot be used as a ransom, but it can be used as a dowry!"

"What?" Shan Yiduo was taken aback.

"This has been the rule of the steppe for thousands of years, and I am afraid that the most savage and warlike lords and generals under your father will not object, because they must have the same idea in their hearts. After all, you're just the favorite daughter of the West Bill, but you're not the only one. ”

Shan Yu Yiduo finally suddenly realized, and there was a hint of imperceptible sadness in his tone: "In addition to forcible seizure, as you said, it is also the rule on the grassland to obtain grassland and tribes by marriage and inheritance. If you want this, continue to marry me under the mask of hypocrisy, and you must know very well that it is possible with your talents and my affection for you. So, Brother Shu Donghuang, what exactly do you want?"

Geshu Donghuang was silent for a moment, and then replied: "The Rong people naively believe that the reason why the seven surnames of Bai Rong have not fallen into civil strife is because of the suppression of the patriarchs, but I can tell you that the thoughts of those patriarchs are fundamentally different from those of us mortals, otherwise the Yu clan alone would not have split into three, resulting in a great reduction in power, thus allowing the Zhou and Di people to take advantage of the situation." ”

His gaze suddenly became gentle, and he turned his head to look at Shan Yu Yiduo and chuckled: "Yiduoer, you are a good girl, but you are not enough to tie my heart." As compensation, I will make you a veritable Bai Rong Da Yan, you know, I have this ability, all I lack is a chance. ”

Shan Yu Yiduo finally couldn't control his emotions, with tears in his eyes, he squinted at Geshu Donghuang and sneered: "A veritable Da Yan clan? Then there must be a veritable Da Dan Yu first, even if you can really do it, do you know how many Rong people will die because of this? What good will this do to you?"

She didn't expect an answer, wiped away the tears flowing down her face with the back of her hand, gritted her teeth and said: "Okay, it is my fate to marry a certain noble person on the grassland, I will be this big clan, and when that day comes, you will definitely regret it!"

Rong women dare to love and hate so much, and there is no pretentiousness of Zhou women, and they want to die and live.

Hearing the angry threat in Shan Yu Yiduo's words, Ge Shu Donghuang did not doubt the determination of this strong woman at all, and the little emotion before was gone at this moment.

He raised his eyebrows, and there was a cruel hint of pleasure in his smile.

"At that time, Bai Rong Da Danyu's power is probably not as big as any of the current kings' tents, to ensure that you don't have to worry about food and clothing, and the rest, don't have any delusions. ”

As he spoke, the procession approached the core camp of the Golden Court King's Tent, and the grand welcoming procession began to assemble, and a figure in a golden brocade robe appeared in front of the door of the largest felt tent.

Shan Yu Yiduo stopped talking, and the horsewhip hit the horse's buttocks a few times, and soon rushed to the front of the team, leaving Geshu Donghuang behind.

The figure in front of the felt tent gradually became clear, the golden bill was over forty years old, still in the prime of life, tall and strong, very royal majesty.

Shan Yu Yiduo never got off the horse, and rode straight in front of Jin Shan Yu, looking at each other with undisguised scrutiny.

A princess of the Western Horde dared to be so disrespectful to Shan Yu of the Golden Horde, and the tribal leaders and leaders who accompanied Shan Yu were angry.

The golden account showed a smile on his face, waved his hand to stop the guards who were about to come forward to stop the horse, and said happily: "Beautiful Princess Yiduo, your arrival makes the golden horde shine." ”

He walked up to Shan Yuyiduo's horse, stretched out his hand and took the reins, and turned around and led the horse towards the Golden Horde.

The nobles who were qualified to stand beside Shan Yu in the Golden Court King Tent showed shocked expressions, and when Shan Yu, who was leading the horse for the Princess of the West Horde, approached, someone finally reacted, bent down respectfully, and greeted: "Welcome, noble princess, your arrival makes the Golden Horde shine." ”

Shan Yu Yiduo nodded slightly on the horse, still not saying a word, but carefully looked at the golden tent that he had heard of since he was a child but had never seen it.

This golden horde was as big as a hill, and it was more of a palace than a felt tent.

The inside of the tent is made of bricks and wood, and then the roof and the perimeter are covered with beautiful furs and golden satins, and many areas are divided by ornate screens of different styles, and precious stones and fine porcelain can be found everywhere.

Shan Yiduo glanced at the patterns carved in gold on the huge towering pillars, and only felt that they were extremely gorgeous and dazzling.

In the center of the main hall is a huge throne, made of pure gold, with a high back, shaped like a peacock opening the screen.

The steps in front of the throne were covered with a gorgeous carpet of red and yellow colors, and a snow-white leopard lay on the steps, raising his head and staring vigilantly at Shan Yu Yiduo on the horse, and then glanced at Shan Yu who was leading the horse suspiciously, and then bowed his head again.

Jin Billy Yu was obviously very satisfied with the beauty of Princess Xihor, and carefully helped Shan Yu Yiduo off the horse.

Holding the whip and stirrup can be regarded as diligent.

He took Shan Yuyiduo's hand, walked up to the throne together, and sat down.

The nobles originally had some resentment, the princess of the West Horde came alone, to put it bluntly, she was coerced by someone to come, but when she arrived at the Golden Horde, she saw Shan Yu, not only was her attitude arrogant, not to mention the dowry, and I don't know if the West Bill Yu would send the pasture or tens of thousands of troops?

However, at this moment, seeing Shan Yuyiduo's down-and-out and generous temperament, these people suddenly remembered the bloodline of this fallen princess and her more noble identity in the future.

In the family alone, it is indeed the king of the Rong people.

Shan Yu Yiduo glanced at Ge Shu Donghuang, who was standing at the door of the Golden Horde, turned his head and smiled at the Golden Bill: "Shan Yu, it was this Zhou warrior who helped me get rid of the pursuit of the Gongxi people, and escorted me all the way to the Golden Horde. ”

"Then give him a thousand sheep, two hundred horses, a hundred taels of gold, and fifty slaves. ”

Such a generous gift immediately aroused the exclamation and jealous gaze of the nobles in the tent.

In essence, the princess of the Western Horde, who had been taken captive, smiled and nodded, expressing her gratitude to the Shan Yu in front of her, who had a distant blood relationship with her and was ready to marry her.

Geshu Donghuang took a step forward and stepped on the edge of the golden tent just right, and the guards at the entrance of the tent hesitated for a moment, but did not stop him.

"Dear Shan Yu, Geshu Donghuang thank you for your reward, but I don't need goods. I beg you, I implore you to listen to my little request alone. ”

"Bold!" said a noble man in the tent.

Jin Billbill waved his hand to stop the commotion in the tent.

He turned his head to glance at Shan Yu Yiduo, who nodded to him: "You can listen to it one last time, and I believe that he will not have any disrespect for the most noble person on the grassland." ”

Shan Yu Yiduo stood up and looked at Geshu Donghuang and said, "Shan Yu, I have traveled a long way and need to rest." ”

Jin Billyu nodded, and the anticlimactic welcome ceremony ended, and then the Zhou warrior was given the opportunity to be summoned alone.

Soon there were only two people left in the golden tent, at least on the surface.

did not show the slightest hesitation and suspicion, and did not even order Geshu Donghuang to hand over his weapon, after retreating left and right, Jin Billyu put away his smile and stared at Geshu Donghuang, his eyes that were still full of tenderness just now were full of gloom.

"In the words of the Zhou people, you are a grandmaster, and you will be a master wherever you put it, but you are willing to protect the princess of an enemy country. Anyway, why are you here? You should understand that if your answer doesn't satisfy me, you're going to die at once!"

Geshu Donghuang bowed slightly: "I'm here to make a deal with Shan Yu, and what I am selling is the throne of Da Shan Yu." ”

"What a joke, what kind of thing are you, the throne of Da Shan Yu can be bought and sold at will? I have to say, you are very bold and vicious enough! Even if I marry her, there will only be a few years of peace at most, and what kind of throne can I talk about?"

Geshu Donghuang smiled: "That will be a few years later, the West Tent is powerful, but now that it is at war with the Gongxi Clan, I must not want to provoke such a well-known enemy like Shan Yu." ”

He took a few steps forward to meet the gaze of Jin Shan Yu, and then said, "If you don't want to turn your face with the West Tent immediately, Shan Yu must pluck this thorny flower." Not only can you harvest beautiful women and rich dowries, but also avoid the worries of expanding to the east, and after a few years, the Golden Horde may not be weaker than the Western Horde. Why not do such a good thing?"

Jin Billyu stood up and stood on the throne platform high above the ground, intending to put more pressure on Geshu Donghuang through condescending scrutiny.

"To the east, the east is the territory of my distant relative, Dong Shan Yu, and it is also the foundation of the Shan Yu family, you want to provoke Bai Rong's civil strife? Zhou people, you should die!"

Geshu Donghuang laughed: "Zhou people have a saying, it is called opening the skylight and speaking brightly. Shan Yu, the east tent borders the Zhou and Di people, and has been fighting for many years, although the soldiers are elite, the overall power is the weakest of the three. If you don't seize the opportunity to help, the East Tent will inevitably perish, and this is also for the sake of the family's inheritance. ”

Jin Billy Yu's face softened, and he said: "It's a good one to open the skylight and say bright words, the Rong people are really not as cunning as the Zhou people, and they can find such a high-sounding reason for robbing other people's inheritance." ”

He glanced at Ge Shu Donghuang deeply: "Anyway, what reward do you want?"

Geshu Donghuang did not hesitate to open his mouth: "One thousand fine horses, three thousand good horses!"

He didn't wait for the gold bill to express his position, and continued: "I have offended your future Yan clan, cattle, sheep, goods and even the grassland people cannot be kept for a long time, please give me 1,000 men and 3,000 horses, I will take them to the border of Bingzhou and Jianzhou to plunder, provoke a war between the Zhou people, the Di people and the Eastern Bill, and pave the way for you to unify the two royal tents." ”

Jin Billy Yu smiled: "I hope you won't lose money on this deal." ”

Geshu Donghuang bowed his head slightly: "Thank you Shan Yu." ”
