Origin Chapter 567: Tigers and leopards
According to Wu Zhongyuan's idea, the tiger dragon **** was sent and left, but the barbarians were so hospitable, how could they be willing to let them go? Let go, and drag the two into the city by force.
There is a big difference between the folk customs in different places. Zhu Qianwei is from Kuaicheng, which is equivalent to modern Fujianese. The folk customs there are more reserved and their feelings are not too exposed. The Yi people are the ancestors of later generations of Shandong people. Brilliant, Zhu Qianwei has never seen this kind of situation where the guest does not enter the door, and the host pulls it hard, and when he sees the woman in the city greet him with a smile, the autumn wave is secret, lest he accidentally step on some strange marriage customs, After entering the city, it is inevitable to tremble, like walking on thin ice.
When the distinguished guests come to the door, hospitality is essential. The barbarians do everything they can, all parties gather, and the feasts are opened when you are in season. Chickens, ducks, fish, fruits and vegetables are sent up like flowing water.
Wu Zhongyuan had experienced the sturdy wine style of the Yi people before, and he didn't want to drink with them, but the Yi people came up to toast one by one because of their kindness. The Yi people are a big tribe composed of many small tribes, not only Yu Qing Du, Huang Youyun, Lu Juntian, the three patriarchs, and some old guys, these old people are not good at fighting, they drink a lot, and the most powerful thing is to find excuses, that is, toasts, three reasons for drinking, one is to congratulate him on his accession to the throne Proclaimed emperor, unified the Central Plains, the second is to thank him for rewarding psychic soldiers. The third is to thank him for his generosity and generosity, for inspecting the blood of the barbarians by making an exception, and presenting them with Qi-xinfa and martial arts.
For the same reason, all the patriarchs have to pay respects. The three reasons come down to dozens of bowls. Wu Zhongyuan drank half of it, and Zhu Qianwei helped him drink half of it, and he finally survived.
The barbarians like to discuss matters at banquets. Four things were said during the banquet. First, who were the psychic soldiers for? Wu Zhongyuan didn't say it clearly, but only said that it was for the Yi people. As for who would use it, it was up to the Yi people to find a way to distribute it.
Second, the 100 young men and women sent to Youxiong are already on their way, and will soon arrive in Youxiong. The Yi people's patriarchs hope that they can strictly demand and criticize these outstanding young men and women. The real meaning is to hope that they can help and support these barbarian descendants.
The first two things were proposed by the barbarians, and the last two were proposed by Wu Zhongyuan. One was the three-year tax reduction for the barbarians. Before that, the barbarians had to pay tribute to the bird tribe every year. The bird race is also under his rule, and he has the power to increase or decrease taxes. The main purpose of doing this is to thank the barbarians for their help in the past. The barbarians' warehouses are already empty, and no surplus food means no savings, and there is no sense of security.
The second thing is that Huicheng will be relocated soon. He hopes that the Yi people can provide assistance to everyone in Huicheng. After all, the Yi and Huicheng are both offshore tribes, and their ways of making a living are similar. For Wu Zhongyuan's request, Yu Qingdu and others agreed with all their might, only talking about the offshore fishing and hunting waters, and half of all the tidal flats and salt fields would be given to Kuicheng.
At the third watch, the two left slightly drunk. After they set off on the road, I wished Qianwei Chong Wu Zhongyuan a solemn thanks. He knew very well that Wu Zhongyuan's proper placement of Huicheng was for his own sake.
Wu Zhongyuan didn't say much, just raised his hand, indicating that it was not worth mentioning.
Before this, Zhu Qianwei only admired Wu Zhongyuan's character and cultivation. After this incident, he knew that he underestimated Wu Zhongyuan. Wu Zhongyuan was not only thoughtful, but also very good at dealing with randomness. When using it, he immediately gave it to the barbarians, not only repaying the barbarians for their help, but at the same time making them willing to split half of the fishing grounds and salt fields, and properly arrange the people in Weicheng. Everything is covered.
Seeing Wu Zhongyuan frowning and pondering, Zhu Qianwei only thought he was thinking about important military affairs. If it was the other way around, he would not ask questions, but after drinking before, he was less restrained. "What is the Holy One worried about?"
"Huh?" Wu Zhongyuan tilted his head and smiled, "You can guess."
"The Holy Master is in charge of the overall situation and is in charge of Jingwei. How can you guess what you think about the humble position." Zhu Qianwei said.
"Haha, I'm wondering what the outcome of going to Yanshan will be," Wu Zhongyuan laughed, "According to Jiang Ci, the city's master of Yanshan, the two alien beasts are the head of a leopard with a lin body and a head of a dragon with claws and a tiger. , and Qiong Qi is born with tiger head and leopard tail, dragon claws and Lin body, so I think if the two exotic beasts are one female and one male, they may give birth to Qiong Qi after cooperation, whether it is male or female, Qiong Qi can have one Companion."
"The House of Lords has a kind heart, even a beast will not betray you." Zhu Qianwei's heart is the same.
Wu Zhongyuan said with a smile, "But this kind of possibility is very small. Qiongqi has a tiger's head and a leopard's tail and a dragon's claws and a lin-body. The offspring have many variables in their body and appearance, and the chance of giving birth to Qiongqi is very small."
I wish Qianwei relieved, "This is an accident if it comes, the saint is benevolent, compassionate and concerned, but this is not something we can control, we can only do our best and obey the destiny."
Wu Zhongyuan nodded.
"Your Majesty, there is something that has been bothering me for a long time. It's rude to usurp, and I don't say that I feel uneasy." Zhu Qianwei said.
"What? It's so serious." Wu Zhongyuan asked with a smile.
Zhu Qianwei hesitated for a long time and then said, "The nobles are taciturn, and their words and deeds are very unusual. They don't look like Chinese people. I don't know where they came from?"
Wu Zhongyuan tilted his head and glanced at Zhu Qianwei, "She came from 5,000 years later, and that's where I lived before I returned. Why did you suddenly ask this? That's not your style."
Zhu Qianwei didn't quite understand what Wu Zhongyuan said about 5,000 years later, but it was not convenient for him to ask, "Your Majesty, do you know that noble people are gifted?"
"Huh?" Wu Zhongyuan tilted his head in confusion.
"I have accidentally discovered that your noble body has a different art, you can eat smoke and fire, and swallow clouds and smoke." Zhu Qianwei said.
Wu Zhongyuan was stunned for a moment, then he laughed loudly after thinking about it. What kind of talent and what kind of magic is Zhu Qianwei's euphemism, it should be that Wang Xinran was smoking secretly and was discovered by Zhu Qianwei. He understands this strange behavior too much, and regards Wang Xinran as a monster, so he hesitates and hesitates.
"Is she like this?" Wu Zhongyuan pointed to his lips and made a smoking gesture.
I wish Qianwei a serious nod.
"I know, she was smoking the smoke emitted by a plant, which was very common in the era we lived in." Wu Zhongyuan explained casually.
"The fire is so hot that if it enters the lungs, won't it burn the five internal organs?" Zhu Qianwei wondered.
"That's not the case. If you have a chance, you can ask her to try one. Don't worry, she's not a monster." Wu Zhongyuan smiled.
Although Zhu Qianwei still doesn't quite understand, he is no longer worried and no longer speaks after nodding his head.
The flying speed of the blue-eyed golden eagle is much faster than that of ordinary manned birds. Even the young eagle flying at that time was also very fast, but it was still much slower than the blue dragon armor. The two are currently on the coast of the East China Sea. Yanshan is in the southwest of the Niu Clan, and the journey is very long. They left at the third watch, and the two of them arrived at the Yanshan City where Jiang Ci was located at the fifth watch.
Nowadays, all the Yuancheng of the three clans belong to the territory of the Central Plains, and there is no need to inform them when they go to their own jurisdiction.
At this time, it was the time for the morning meeting in Yuancheng. Seeing Wu Zhongyuan coming, Jiang Ci was shocked and immediately led the crowd to greet him. The arrival of Wu Zhongyuan and Zhu Qianwei surprised everyone in Yanshan, and they didn't know it. Why did the two come here suddenly.
Yanshan is also an important border town. There are three masters of purple qi, dozens of blue qi warriors, and more than 100 red qi warriors. The morning meeting hall is very spacious. Go down into the morning meeting hall and take the master seat.
After Wu Zhongyuan sat down, he raised his hand to Jiang Ci, "You continue."
Jiang Ci is in his 40s this year, and Dong Yuan has a cultivation base. As the saying goes, the upper beam is not upright and the lower beam is crooked. This person obviously takes Jiang Zheng as an example, and his style of doing things is similar to Jiang Zheng. Jiang Zheng was so deep and thoughtful, thoughtful.
Jiang Ci was eager to know what Wu Zhongyuan and Zhu Qianwei came to do, but Wu Zhongyuan did not explain, so he had to be full of doubts, rushed to his subordinates and explained today's errands, then looked at Wu Zhongyuan anxiously, and waited. He showed it.
"Go away, you stay." Wu Zhongyuan waved his hand.
Jiang Ci didn't know why, so he dismissed the crowd tremblingly.
After everyone left, Wu Zhongyuan turned to look at Jiang Ci.
Jiang Ci was guilty of being a thief and did not attack himself, "Sacred Shang Rongqi, last year, the rain was too little, the pasture was not abundant, and there were few cattle and sheep. Earlier, he had a misunderstanding and confrontation with the neighbors. Prince Jiang sent cattle and sheep from Yanshan Mountain again. Thousands of heads replenish the rations, so..."
"I'm not here to collect debts." Wu Zhongyuan interrupted Jiang Ci's words, and then took out the memorial he had submitted before and handed it over from his sleeve.
Jiang Ci took it in panic and spread it out to read.
"Is there a lie?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.
"It's true, it's true," Jiang Ci nodded again and again, "such auspicious visions of national prosperity and peace, how can my subordinates dare to lie and deceive the king."
"Can you still find them?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.
"Yes," Jiang Ci pointed to the west, "Tiger Dragon Beast and Leopard Lin Beast live next to each other, in the two mountains of Tiger and Leopard, only four hundred miles away."
"The two mountains are named after tigers and leopards. They have lived here and there for many years?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.
"This, as far as I know, it seems..." Jiang Ci faltered, this guy deliberately told the two alien beasts to appear in the sky in order to flatter him before, but in fact he lied, the two alien beasts had already disappeared many years ago. here.
"But I've been dormant before, and there have been many changes recently?" Wu Zhongyuan built a ladder for Jiang Ci to step down. It's definitely wrong to lie, but as a leader and parent, there's no need to tell those who made mistakes. Subordinates and children are under too much pressure and too strict and can only force them to lie.
"Yes yes yes, Sheng Shang Mingrui." Jiang Ci got off the donkey.
"I'm very interested in those two alien beasts, but the memorial is not very detailed, so I came here in person," Wu Zhongyuan said, seeing Jiang Ci was too nervous and sweating on his forehead, he said casually, "I If you are thirsty, go get some tea."
Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan was still thinking about drinking tea, Jiang Ci secretly breathed a sigh of relief, pleaded guilty and left, and went down to summon tea.
"These two alien beasts have been adjacent to each other for many years but have never given birth to offspring. I'm afraid they are not male and female." Wu Zhongyuan shook his head.
"Not necessarily," Zhu Qianwei reassured, "Has the sage ever thought that if they were the same male and female, how could they live next to each other and not kill each other?"
"It doesn't make sense." Wu Zhongyuan nodded slowly. As the saying goes, opposites attract each other and same-sex repel each other. If they are both male or female, they will definitely fight.
Not long after, Jiang Ci returned, brought tea in person, and poured tea and water for the two of them attentively.
"Okay, don't be too busy, sit down and tell me about the two alien beasts..."
