Turbulent Times Chapter 47: Bonfire party

Maraduz was hesitating, and the Boduo Fawang who had been silent all this time snorted coldly, and Maraduz was shocked, so he gritted his teeth, raised his head and drank the wine with a look of death on his face.

Everyone in the tent was staring at Maladuz, and Maladuz's heart had already risen to his throat, and his face was already covered with sweat. Heaving a sigh of relief, he looked at Zhou Hu viciously, gritted his teeth and said, "The wine poured by the poisonous general is indeed good wine."

As soon as the words fell, Maladuz saluted Khan Tong Yehu, and then returned to his seat and sat down to drink. He was ashamed today, and he took a risk in vain. Khan's joy, Po Duo Fawang is probably not satisfied with his performance.

Changsun Wuji winked at Zhou Hu, meaning "it's almost enough, don't go too far." Then he returned to his seat.

Actually, all Turkic people knew that unless the poison general Wang Junlin was crazy, he would dare to poison the Turkic Khan and Chief Wan in public, but it was a matter of life and death, and no one dared to take such a risk.

Next, as he said before, Zhou Hu also poured wine for King Bo Duo, who drank the wine in one gulp without changing his face.

Tong Yehu Khan laughed at this time and said: "The two Sui envoys traveled thousands of miles to represent the emperor of the Sui Dynasty and came to our Turkic court. Sui envoys, we will hold a grand bonfire dinner tonight by the Chaiwopu Lake to welcome the two Sui envoys."

Changsun Sheng said, "Where is Princess Xinyi?"

Tong Yehu Khan said: "Don't worry, my grandson, Princess Xinyi will be my Ketun. According to our Turkic customs, I, Ana, and the others will accompany Princess Xinyi tonight, so I won't be left out in the cold." .”

Changsun Sheng knew that the Ana that Tongyehu Khan said was referring to Tongyehu Khan's mother.

…

…

Eight hundred paces to the left of the sixteen white king's tents, there are hundreds of ordinary tents, which are used to house two thousand Sui cavalry. At this time, in one of the tents, Wang Junlin, Jiang Mulang, Su Changqing and other low-ranking officers were also sitting cross-legged behind the table, which was filled with all kinds of meat and drinks.

Su Changqing patted open the mud seal of a jar of wine, sniffed it, couldn't help smiling, and said: "The Turkic people's reputation for hospitality is not false, at least the wine they sent is good wine, come here, everyone fill up !” As he spoke, he picked up the wine jar and poured a bowl for Wang Junlin first.

At this time, the two women joined forces to carry a whole roasted lamb into the big tent, and the smell of the meat wafted into their nostrils. Everyone was already hungry after a long day's journey, and their eyes lit up immediately.

Two Western Turkic women in sheepskin robes put the roasted whole lamb on a wooden rack, cut it neatly with a knife, put the steaming, fat, tender and delicious roasted lamb on a plate, and served it to everyone On the table, he smiled and motioned to them, telling them to eat with the salt in the small dish.

The whole lamb roasted by the Turkic people is not seasoned during the grilling process. It is full of the original taste of the lamb. Fortunately, the meat of the Turkic sheep is tender and fat. Although it has a strong fishy smell after being cooked, the taste is much lighter after being roasted.

When the plate was handed to Wang Junlin, Wang Junlin nodded kindly to the old woman, took a look at the woman, and found that the woman had a gloomy expression and sad eyes.

Tong Yehu Khan and Bo Duo Fa Wang wanted to stabilize the Sui Dynasty by means of marriage, but the Sui Emperor sent Wang Junlin and Changsun Sheng such a strong lineup not just to make peace with the Western Turks, but to make them challenge as much as possible. Initiating a Turkic civil war, it is best to split the powerful Turkic Empire into two Turkic Khanates in the east and west, so that the Western Turks have also become torn apart and have been busy with civil wars and internal frictions.

In the territory of the Turkic people, it is extremely difficult to complete this task. In fact, the Sui Emperor did not have much confidence in Changsun Sheng and Wang Junlin.

Although Wang Junlin made a lot of preparations when he was in Gaotai City, he was not completely sure after all. In Wang Junlin's view, some things were absolutely impossible to do without the help of the local people.

With the help of the local Turkic people, it is nothing more than insinuating, eavesdropping, buying, threatening, using and other means. It's just that there are too few such opportunities, and Wang Junlin needs to find them himself, so as long as there is a little possibility or opportunity, Wang Junlin will not let it go.

The sad and gloomy expression of the Turkic woman at the moment, in Wang Junlin's view, is an opportunity, so he smiled and nodded as a temptation.

Sure enough, when the old woman saw Wang Junlin's attitude and attitude, she boldly asked tentatively: "My lord, is there a doctor among the people you came?"

It is not surprising that the Turkic people can speak Chinese. Although the language is not very standard, but Wang Junlin traveled all over the world in his later generations and learned all kinds of dialects. Now he can barely understand it.

Wang Junlin was overjoyed, and immediately asked, "Is there a relative who is sick?"

The old woman's eyes turned red immediately, and two tears appeared on her wrinkled face, and she said: "My son is sick, and I am just such a son. Your doctor sees my son..."

Wang Junlin said: "Old lady, why don't you tell us about your son's symptoms. I'll ask our doctor and ask him to prescribe the medicine. Next time you give us food, I'll give you the prescription." .”

When the old woman heard this, she was overjoyed. She quickly knelt down and said, "My lord, you are a good person. Good people will be rewarded."

At first, she only tried it because she really had no choice. She had almost no hope that the Sui people would help her, but the result surprised her.

After listening to the old Turkic woman's description, Wang Junlin knew that the old woman's son was suffering from cold and fever, the most common disease in the grasslands. Diseases caused by hygiene can be easily cured in any small outpatient clinic in future generations. But in this era, especially among the Turkic people with poor living conditions and poor living material conditions, there is no other way but to wait for death.

In later generations, Wang Junlin took on tasks in the field and stayed too long, sometimes suffering from this disease, so Wang Junlin happened to know several medicines that could cure this disease, but naturally he couldn't directly treat it at this time. Tell the old Turkic woman the method.

After the old woman knelt down to Wang Junlin and saluted Wang Junlin again, she was about to say something more, when a Western Turkic soldier wandering around the door found that they were chatting, and immediately walked into the tent, coughing and saying: "It's over." Let's go! When you're done, go to the lake, and we'll have a bonfire later, so there's a lot to do!"

"Oh! I'll be there right away!"

The old woman agreed, and said to Wang Junlin: "My lord, don't forget, I'm going to go first!"

After the old woman left the big tent and walked a few steps to the side, the Western Turkic soldier suddenly lowered his face and shouted: "Didn't I tell you, you are not allowed to talk more with the Sui people."

The old woman said: "My son is sick, and the witch doctor in the family does not treat my son. I just want to ask the Han people if there is any way to cure my son."

Before she finished speaking, the soldier slapped her across the face, causing her to fall to the ground, bleeding from the corner of her mouth. The soldier scolded: "You still have a lot of reasons. I have told you a long time ago. Don't talk too much to the Sui people. How dare you not listen! The witch doctor didn't treat your son, it was because of the patriarch of your small tribe." Stupid, dare to collude with Ashina dog thief, if you don't listen to Khan, you deserve sickness and death."

As she spoke, she raised her leather boots and kicked them hard. The woman lay on the ground clutching her stomach, and kicked him several times. , is something our patriarch himself did, you can't implicate my son."

The soldier wanted to beat her, but a Turkic centurion saw it from a distance and shouted, "Don't make a fool of yourself there, let her go away quickly?"

The soldier agreed, and hurriedly said: "Hurry up and go to work by the lake."

Although the Turkic soldier and the old woman lowered their voices intentionally, their conversation still reached Wang Junlin's ears. Wang Junlin's eyes flickered, and he had a feasible plan in his heart.

…

…

When Wang Junlin was in later generations, he participated in the bonfire parties on the Mongolian and Tibetan grasslands, but the scene at that time was similar to the bonfire party he saw before him.

There are piles of firewood burning, and there are short tables on all sides, with felt blankets behind the low tables. Singing and dancing around the bonfire with neatly dressed boys.

The difference is that when I was alive, I was a tourist and participated in a tour group, which was a bonfire party that I spent money on. But now he is participating in the bonfire party as the deputy envoy of the Sui Dynasty, and he is only thinking about how to harm the master.

So, sitting here now, his feelings are completely different from those in later generations.

At this moment, Wang Junlin raised his head, and what he saw was a sky full of stars, far and near, bright and dark, like the Milky Way hanging upside down, forming a deep and vast starry sky. Under this vast starry sky, including the emperor Inside, all people, all things are so small.

Looking back, the rivers, mountains, and continuous grasslands are all submerged in the boundless darkness, and there are faint howls of wolves coming with the wind. , even now there are so many people, there are bonfires and singing.

But for some reason, Wang Junlin still felt that the excitement of these people was far away from him. At this moment, he actually had a strange feeling of watching a movie.
