Chapter 172 Liuli Tanlang
When Bater walked in front of Shi Er Niang, Jin Sui was really scared.
Because Bater looked at Twelve Niang defiantly, Twelve Niang would not tolerate him at all, and immediately glared back at him with her arms folded and her chin raised.
The two of them were like two childish elementary school students vying for a moment's pride, playing the staring game. Jinsui was afraid that Bater would say something like asking Shi Er Niang to be his woman.
Twelve Niang belongs to my Han Xing, she cannot be snatched away by you, the prince of the neighboring country!
As a result, Bater was defeated. He rubbed his dry eyes and said to Princess Toya: "This Han woman is so fierce. This prince doesn't like her."
Princess Toya scolded directly: "Who told you to like her? This is Master Yan's biological sister, our honored guest. Be more respectful!"
Jinsui felt a little sympathy for Princess Toya. This younger brother was too difficult to take care of and was even less reliable than Yan Shiyi.
Now let's get down to business. Princess Toya spread out a map and pointed in the direction of the royal court:
"In seven days, the Zuo Xian Wang will hold his wedding ceremony. He will definitely take the opportunity to declare his succession to the throne in front of the dignitaries. We don't have much time left."
Before they could reply, Bater said disdainfully: "When the time comes, as soon as this prince shows up, I will prove his crime of treason in front of all the important officials and dignitaries."
This is what he has always thought, and he doesn't even understand why his sister wants to cooperate with the Han people? Jin Sui slapped her forehead speechlessly and looked at Gu Changxiao. They were both princes, but their IQs were too different! She asked Bater directly: "Now the royal court is controlled by Zuo Xian Wang. As soon as you show up, he can kill you. After you die, it will be more legitimate for him to inherit the throne."
Bater stared at Jin Sui in a daze, thinking that he was unconvinced, but he was stunned for a long while before saying, "As expected of a Taoist nun serving the gods, you are quite smart."
Jinsui: ...
What if the partner is too stupid? Toya glared at him and said, "Just listen quietly!"
"Yan Jiu, what do you think we should do?"
Yan Jiu asked softly, "Is there anyone else in the royal court who can be used?"
Bater interrupted: "There are several horse slaves who are the crown prince's confidants. I can let them scare the horses at the banquet and cause chaos."
Seeing that everyone was speechless, Yan Jiu continued gently:
"This is indeed useful. Are there other people who can be used besides the horse slaves? I mean, generals, important ministers, and vassal kings who command a large number of troops?"
Bater knew without being reminded how ridiculous it was for him to say that he was a confidant of a slave, but his pride made him not want to admit his mistake to the Han people, so he looked at Toya and said, "Sister, is there anything?"
Princess Toya nodded: "Before my father left, he gave me a token that can command 5,000 soldiers in the royal court."
This means that the other foreign aid is gone, probably because they have all been won over by King Zuo Xian.
Next, everyone decided how to use these 5,000 soldiers to cooperate inside and outside, enter the royal court and seize power. No matter how they discussed it, the conclusion was that as long as Zuo Xian Wang was alive, it would be useless even if they could temporarily take back power.
The Northern Frontier is not like Daxia. The prince in Chang'an has no military power, while the powerful people in the Northern Frontier have pastures, and the herdsmen can become soldiers as long as they ride on horses.
As long as King Zuoxian escapes from the royal court and returns to his tribe, he can lead his army to fight back.
Only if he dies in the royal court can the prince's throne be secure.
To be honest, if it were any other time, Jin Sui would have wanted the Crown Prince and Zuo Xian Wang to fight to the death, causing Northern Xinjiang to fall into a long-term civil war and dragging down Northern Xinjiang's national strength.
But it won't work now! Prince Zuo Xian is in collusion with the Queen. If he is alive, Prince Yu will have a strong helper. He will also harass the border town. It is better for him to be dead.
And looking at Bater's IQ, even if Zuo Xian Wang died, it would take him many years to completely take power. By that time, our border town would have grown up and would no longer be afraid of the northern border.
Jin Sui gave up the dangerous idea of sowing discord and trying to take advantage of the situation, and firmly supported the killing of Zuo Xian Wang.
After a long discussion, the core issue was that they had to be able to sneak into the royal court and face the Zuo Xian King directly. Someone outside the city led the troops to support them, and they could command the 5,000 soldiers inside the city.
The final decision was that Princess Toya would enter the city, and she strongly requested Liuyun to protect her closely.
Bater and Yan Jiu led their troops to ambush outside the city, and when they received the signal, they joined forces to retake the royal court.
Then, Gu Changxiao also had to enter the city. Jin Sui originally disagreed with this. Zuo Xianwang wanted to kill Gu Changxiao, and we had just wiped out a small team of Zuo Xianwang. Wouldn't it be suicide if we joined in at this time? But Gu Changxiao agreed, the reason was simple. Zuo Xianwang was not stupid, and he couldn't catch this giant crocodile without putting out a heavy bait. If Princess Toya entered the city alone, she would be discovered soon.
If Gu Changxiao brings the delegation into the city, it will attract attention and at the same time allow him to get reasonably close to King Zuo Xian.
He comforted Jin Sui: "Even though Zuo Xian Wang can have his soldiers disguised as bandits to attack the envoys, if I enter the city openly and he dares to kill the Han envoys, it will provoke a war between the two countries.
He is going to inherit the throne, and he won’t touch me at this critical time.”
He whispered to Jin Sui: "If Zuo Xian Wang is not dead, none of us will be able to return to Daxia alive.
Don't worry, I have faced many dangerous situations, this is nothing."
The two people's gossip attracted the attention of everyone at the table. Jin Sui only felt the heat from his voice in her ear making half of her face feel hot.
She clenched her fists under the table and said, "Then I'll go with you."
As a result, everyone opposed this point. Princess Toya said that King Zuo Xian was very lustful, especially liked beautiful Han women. If she appeared in the delegation, she would definitely be abducted as a gift to him.
Yan Jiu and Gu Changxiao surprisingly agreed this time and both disagreed with Jinsui entering the city.
Jinsui decided not to discuss this matter at the meeting for the time being. After all, there were still a few days left, and she would definitely be able to convince Gu Changxiao.
But when she heard that Zuo Xian Wang was lustful, she suggested: "Since Zuo Xian Wang likes Han women, can I pretend to be a beauty and assassinate him?"
Yan Jiu and Gu Changxiao said in unison: "No!"
Even Toya did not support it: “Your drama in the Central Plains is too exaggerated, and you really believe that the assassination by a beauty will succeed.
Prince Zuo Xian has practiced martial arts since he was young, and his riding, archery and internal strength are extremely strong. Unless your kung fu is as powerful as Master Liuyun, you can't get close to him."
Jin Sui didn't believe it, no matter how powerful he was, he couldn't beat an injection of anesthesia. But this plan was indeed too immature, even Toya felt it was like something out of a play.
She added: "Then can we let Liuyun disguise herself as a beauty to assassinate him?"
Liuyun's face turned pale immediately, and he took two steps behind Tuoya with fear in his eyes: "I will protect the princess."
Tuoya smiled gratefully at Jinsui. She thought Jinsui said that on purpose to make Liuyun get close to her.
Who knew Jinsui really had this idea, but looking at Liuyun's height, it was indeed a bit difficult for him to dress up as a woman.
Tuoya also said that Zuo Xian Wang was extremely greedy for money, especially for precious gifts from the Central Plains. He once lived in Chang'an for several years, and after returning to the northern border, he collected treasures from the Central Plains.
If there are treasures in the team, the chances of seeing him will be greater.
Gu Changxiao felt a little embarrassed when he heard the word "treasure". His delegation was just in name only. The border town was so poor that even the New Year gifts they sent were salted fish and seaweed, and they were despised by all the dignitaries in Chang'an.
Where can I find treasures as tribute? Of course, the swords of the Black Feather Camp soldiers can be regarded as treasures in the Northern Frontier, but no one is willing to give them away as gifts.
Giving a precious sword to the enemy will only make you die faster!
Tuoya asked directly: "Don't your Daxia envoys bring any gifts? When we from Northern Xinjiang go to Daxia, we always bring a lot of cattle and sheep."
Jin Sui answered for Gu Chang Xiao: "Of course I brought it! It's a gift that Zuo Xian Wang will definitely like!"
She pretended to go to the carriage to get it, and Liuyun followed quietly.
Soon she came back with a box and opened it in front of everyone: "This is it!"
A lifelike glass vessel appeared in front of everyone. It was a wolf nearly two feet tall, with domineering and powerful eyes and a nimble and strong body.
The whole body is crystal clear, as if it is not from this mortal world but a gift from the gods.
"The Glazed Greedy Wolf is the human incarnation of the Greedy Wolf Constellation and the totem incarnation of the Grassland Wolf King. There is only one of its kind in the world. If you possess it, you will have the courage and ability of the Wolf King.
How is it? Can it arouse the interest of Zuo Xian Wang?"
Not only did it arouse the interest of Zuo Xian Wang, but it also made the eyes of several people at the table shine.
Yan Jiu was being reserved. If Yan Shiyi were in his place, he would have jumped up and asked, "How much silver? I'll buy it!"
Gu Changxiao kept winking at Jin Sui, wanting to ask where she came from? Jin Sui quietly hooked his finger under the table, signaling him to stay calm and keep in line with her words. This is the specialty of our border town! "The specialty of the Li King's fiefdom, there is only this one in the world."
Gu Changxiao said confidently: "Yes! This is the gift I brought from the border town to the King of Northern Frontier."
He didn't say who it was intended for. He was going to give it to the King of Northern Frontier, but now it can only be used on the King of Zuo Xian as planned.
Princess Toya was so excited that she almost cried: "If my father were still alive and saw this, he would definitely think it was a reward from the gods."
At this time, Bater suddenly shouted: "You can't give it to the Zuo Xian King! This is a reward from the gods to this prince!"
The reason why Bater didn't speak in the discussion just now was not because he really listened to his sister.
But this guy actually fell asleep like a poor student listening to his teacher in class!
It was his personal guards who saw the glazed Tan Lang bottle and woke him up in excitement.
Bater actually jumped up and reached out to snatch Liuli Tanlang away. Fortunately, Jinsui had experience in coaxing rebellious teenagers.
He smiled and said, "Your Highness, we are only pretending to present it to the Zuo Xian King to confuse him. When the time comes, you can enter the royal court and take it back!"
"This was originally meant for you. If you don't believe me, ask the princess."
Although Toya was reluctant to give up this treasure, she was worried about what would happen if it was bumped in the melee. But her brother was such a naughty kid, she couldn't cooperate with him even if she became his supporter.
The final word was: "Bater, don't be rude! Miss Ji is right. This is the treasure that King Li brought for you. It is only borrowed temporarily to confuse King Zuoxian."
Bater listened to the advice and said, "Okay! By the way, have you finished your discussion? What is this prince going to do?"
Jinsui: ...
I am looking forward to you becoming the King of Northern Frontier more than anyone else! After all, no one wants the king of a neighboring country to be smart and capable.
Princess Toya seemed to have gotten used to her brother's personality and said directly:
"You and Master Yan will take the Batu tribe's troops and meet them outside the royal court. I will go into the royal court with His Royal Highness the King Li."
Bater stood up and was about to leave: "Okay, call me when you are ready to leave."
Toya wouldn't let him go: "You want to go riding, right? No! I've told you a thousand times that you can't go too far away from the tribe, or you'll attract assassins!"
Bater didn't want to quarrel with his sister in front of the Han people, so he was so angry that his face turned red, like an energetic wolf king who was locked in a cage.
Jin Sui pushed the Glazed Greedy Wolf in front of him and said, "How about you enjoy this?"
Then Jin Sui and the others quietly left the yurt, leaving the two siblings to talk. As soon as they left the yurt, Yan Jiu said to Jin Sui:
"I have asked someone to clean up Miss Ji's yurt, but there are still some of your personal belongings in my car. Let's go pack them up!"
Jin Sui's mind was full of thoughts, how much money he could make by selling those colored glassware to the people of Northern Frontier! Seeing how much the Tuoya siblings liked the colored glass Tan Lang, they would probably buy it even if it was priced at a thousand gold.
Hey, let's make one of that style, because it's already said to be 'one of a kind in the world'.
But other styles of wolves, of different sizes and shapes, we can make them at will! When the time comes, I will sell them exclusively to the leaders of the tribes in the northern border, in exchange for cattle, sheep and horses, and I guarantee that I can gather an army of tens of thousands of cavalry for the border town! She was thinking beautifully, and when she heard Yan Jiu's words, she said casually: "Okay! Thank you, master."
Yan Jiu chuckled: "You still call me the master? Just call me Jiu Lang like in the past."
Jin Sui had only followed him for two steps when someone suddenly grabbed her wrist. She turned around and saw Gu Changxiao with a look of hidden anger on his face: "Sui Sui still wants to talk to me about the affairs of the royal court, and has no time to go with Patriarch Yan to pack up the things. These are just some old things that have been used. Patriarch Yan can just send someone to deliver them."
Yan Jiu was not angry at all, and his voice was still gentle: "Miss Ji's things are very precious, Yan Jiu just doesn't want to let others do it, so he waited for Miss Ji to come back to pack.
In that case, I will pack it up myself and send it to Miss Ji."
Gu Changxiao choked and suddenly pulled Jin Sui over: "Where is the carriage? I'll go get it for you!"
Jin Sui pointed at Yan Jiu's luxurious carriage speechlessly, and then saw Gu Changxiao stride over to the carriage, rummaging through the drawers, and carrying a bunch of things down with Liuyun.
Jin Sui said to Yan Jiu apologetically, "I'm so sorry, Your Majesty was too impatient, please don't blame me, Master Yan."
Yan Jiu didn't even look at Gu Changxiao, and stared directly at Jin Sui: "Miss Ji, are you still unwilling to call me Jiu Lang?"
Jinsui wanted to say, why do you care about this kind of thing? We only have seven days to prepare, can you two focus on the big things?
She bowed to Yan Jiu, turned around and took Gu Changxiao to her felt tent.
But his face was completely dark, and Gu Changxiao and Liuyun who were following behind him were so scared that they didn't dare to say a word. After entering the felt tent, Liuyun piled everything in his arms on the table.
He said as if he was escaping: "I'll take my leave!"
Gu Changxiao was still pretending nothing had happened. While helping Jinsui organize the daily necessities, he said exaggeratedly: "Suisui is amazing! He actually made the glassware on the road.
Didn’t you see the look on the faces of those people from Northern Frontier when you opened the box? They looked as if they had seen some magical treasure.”
