Chapter 10 The Royal Court(2/2)
Let me try my best, just like the old man is still alive." The young man's appearance of a Huns aroused Wang Ao's suspicion.
"My mother was a Huns, and she has passed away! My heart is for the Qin State, and my father always taught me this during his lifetime!" Li Deyang said so excitedly that his hair was trembling.
Wang Ao thought to himself that coming to the Huns this time was a narrow escape, so he should take a risk.
"Please get up quickly, please get up, Li Deyang, I won't hide it from you, I am Wang Ao, the Taiwei of Qin State. This time I came to the Xiongnu in person to discuss important matters with your father."
Li Deyang said sternly: "I don't need to tell you this, my father has already explained it clearly to me - I just want to do something -"
This was another shout coming from outside the tent.
Li Deyang raised his thick eyebrows: "Sir, where did these two Yuezhi people come from?"
Wang Ao said: "I bought it from the market." Then he told the story.
Li Deyang was moved: "I understand the language of the Da Yueshi. From their tone, they don't sound like ordinary people. They seem to be nobles of the Da Yueshi. Sir, why don't you call them and ask them, so as not to cause trouble for Da Qin."
Qin Ao brought the two of them in. The old man kept shouting at the top of his lungs and used his body to protect the girl. The girl's eyes were as sharp as a murderous knife, and her whole person was full of the wildness of a barbarian.
Li Deyang listened for a while, pointed at the old man, and shouted a few words sharply, but of course Wang Ao still couldn't understand.
The old man's stern reply was even more tyrannical than Li Deyang!
Wang Ao felt strange that they should be grateful to him for saving them, but why did he seem to want to eat people?
If I had known earlier I wouldn’t have saved you? Who are you?
Li Deyang looked solemn after hearing the old man's words. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then slowly uttered a few words. The old man answered one by one, but his attitude softened a lot.
The two of them chatted about the stick of incense. Li Deyang nodded and said to Wang Ao: "Sir, there is some trouble. This old man said that he is an envoy of the Dayue clan and is here to meet with the Xiongnu Chanyu. He is on the way.
She was robbed by bandits from Qiuci and ended up in the hands of merchants from the Western Regions. That girl - he said she was the daughter of the Great Yueshi King 'Essebaijia', who was also the princess of the Great Yueshi!!" That's shocking!
of!
"Why did the princess come to the Xiongnu? Even if it is an envoy, it is impossible to bring the princess with him. It must be a lie." Before Wang Ao could say anything, Qin Ao had already rushed to speak.
Li Deyang said: "This is not necessarily the case. The customs of the Dayue clan are very different from those in the Central Plains, and they are also different from those of the Xiongnu. Women there can ride horses to fight, and after achieving military exploits, they can also become generals, so it is very convenient for the princess to go on an envoy.
It’s possible!”
Qin Ai shouted: "That's not right. A country's envoys are always escorted by thousands of soldiers and horses. How could they be robbed by bandits?"
Li Deyang smiled bitterly and said: "The general doesn't know. The 'sand bandits' roaming the deserts of the Western Regions are very powerful. They gather tens of thousands of people and raid all the countries in the Western Regions. They have strong combat capabilities and are accustomed to traveling in the desert. These people come from all over the world."
The nations are all desperadoes, and the countries in the Western Regions have nothing to do with them. The regular armies of some countries are not as large as these bandits. Only the Dayue clan are strong enough to deal with them. These people often ambush the Dayue clan and send them out in order to retaliate.
It is not the first time that the Yueshi have suffered losses for their caravans and envoys. They sent troops to encircle and suppress them, but these people just dived into the desert, and Aesabaika had no way of doing anything."
Wang Ao looked deeply at the old man, whose hands were tied by Qin Aiao. There was a kind of nobility that was difficult to hide in his frightened eyes, and he suddenly said: "Quickly, loosen the ties."
What a strange item!
The big pie falling from the sky almost blinded Wang Ao.
We must get these two people to Da Qin——
"I can send you back to your country, and I can serve your princess like a princess, but now is not the time. You have to wait for a while -"
Wang Ao and Li Deyang planned it all night. They admired the ability and decisiveness of this mixed-race young man and were filled with admiration. The next day they split up and acted according to the plan.
Wang Ao took two pairs of flawless white jade and ten thousand gold to see Huyan Dulan, the left general of the Xiongnu, in the name of a Chinese businessman. Li Deyang told him that this was the most greedy and cruel official of the Xiongnu.
Huyan Dulan was reluctant to see him at first, but after seeing Wang Ao's gift, he immediately put on a smile and went out to welcome Wang Ao into the tent in person, as if he were a good friend reunited after a long absence.
Wang Ao explained his purpose of coming: "I just want to meet the Que family of Da Chanyu and offer some special products of Da Qin to facilitate future trade." Du Lan was moved in his heart and lowered his face: "What special products did you bring!" What can Wang Ao do?
Not knowing what he was thinking, he quickly said: "There are some gold and jade jewelry - I heard that the general also has several beautiful ladies in his family, so I have also prepared some -"
"Haha - easy to say, easy to say, I will take you to see Mr. Que tomorrow!" The Huns did not have such complicated etiquette as the Han people, otherwise Wang Ao would have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse.
The next day, he was introduced by Dulan to meet Maodun's stepmother, Touman's Que family, the yellow-haired beauty Amani who came from the ice and snow of the Chechen tribe in the North Sea (Lake Baikal).
Russian.
Dulan had already said four or five good things to Amani the day before, and praised Wang Ao for being so rich. The clothes he wore were all made of gold, and he wore fifty sapphire rings on his ten fingers.
Of course Amani knew that he was exaggerating. But she was a vain woman who loved gold most in her life. Of course she would not let go of the opportunity to make a fortune, so she happily met Wang Ao.
Wang Ao first presented her with 50,000 kilograms of jewels and five pairs of jade. Amani's green eyes glowed golden and she smiled from ear to ear.
"Oh, this is so embarrassing. If you have any requests, just ask."
Wang Ao said: "I don't have any requirements. I just saw and heard on the way to Longcheng that the Huns army captured more than forty cities of the Qin State with overwhelming force. Even the queen of the King of Qin was captured. The Emperor of Qin has already asked the prince.
Mao Dun presented the letter of surrender, thinking that the Qin State was about to be destroyed and the Huns would invade the Central Plains one day, so I wanted to find an official position to do it."
These words were like a basin of cold water pouring down from Amani's head. The golden fork in his hand was thrown out with a clang, and he asked coldly: "You said that the Emperor of Qin surrendered to Maodun!" Wang Ao stood up hurriedly: "That's right.
, I have a fellow countryman named Shu Sun Tong who is the prime minister of the Emperor of Qin. He told me personally that he was still in the prince's camp, which is absolutely unmistakable. He also said that the prince is preparing to make Guanzhong the capital, which is really gratifying and congratulatory -
—”
Wang Ao pretended to be stupid and congratulated him, which made Amani almost go into shock: "This bastard, Moton, finally showed his fox tail. It seems that he has made up his mind to become an enemy of his father. So, then
Don’t blame me for being rude. Businessman——”
"Here -" Wang Ao said respectfully.
"If you tell the Great Chanyu what you just said to me, I guarantee that you will always be the honored guest of our Huns." Amani smiled in a good-natured way.
Wang Ao said: "Of course, I am here just to congratulate the Great Chanyu."
Dao Xi? Is this a stab in the heart of Shanyu?
