What does it mean to lose both the wife and the army? What does it mean to lose both your dignity and face?
I am talking about the current Shiji clan and Muyan clan.
Instead of having a proper competition, you guys are playing tricks, right?
Now not only did they lose, but they lost so badly that they couldn't afford to lose, which made it seem like a villain was at work.
In fact, according to normal results, if it weren't for the father and son Song Sheng, and the woman Yang Jingyun who knew about water sources and plants, the Tianxiang Kingdom would most likely have lost.
This team is a pure surprise.
Even so, the Shiyi clan and the Muyan clan are firmly in second and third place, which is actually enough for them to show off.
Unexpectedly, they were not satisfied and still did these little things.
And those ministers hold meetings every day, but it's not just a formality and the meeting is over.
The ministers have always been dissatisfied with the behavior of these foreign races. Not only Su Wan is on guard against them stealing food from Tianxiang Kingdom, but the ministers are also on guard against these small actions.
Look, marking the arrow tip is indeed the right thing to do.
Catch the package directly on the spot.
Some people even said directly: "These are all cheated, so are the other scores also cheated?"
"Yes, who knows what method was used."
"It's not shameful."
As arrogant as the leader of the Yi clan was just now, his face looked as ugly as his now.
The rest of the people in Tianxiang Country were filled with joy.
Xie Pei did not say much, but only praised the Tianxiang Kingdom's team for their strength, and rewarded everyone in the team, especially Song Sheng and his son and Yang Jingyun.
Their team of fifteen people has become heroes in the hearts of everyone present.
If it weren’t for them, those two would have won this time!
In five days, forty-seven prey, big and small, were hunted. This number is really exaggerated. Although the majority of them are small animals, even a rabbit is not something that can be caught easily.
Thanks to the rich experience of Song Sheng and his son, they are very good at finding animal traces. The woman Yang Jingyun is also amazing. She can identify the direction just by looking at the feces left by the animals and the traces left by the fruits of the trees after being bitten. She can also use the flowers and plants in the forest to make herbal medicine.
Anyway, two words to describe it: awesome!
Really amazing!
In addition to these three, there are several outstanding ones who stand out. You can tell without them saying it that these people have a bright future.
The future seemed bright for them, but the faces of the three foreigners were terribly gloomy.
No, the Northern Alliance is fine. Their data is not falsified, and they came back early. It is obvious that they came to join in the fun, not to cause trouble.
Tianxiang Kingdom also discovered this, so they treated them better than the other two.
The Mu Yan tribe is hiding under the Shi Yi tribe, which is actually not that shameful. This time, the Shi Yi tribe will probably throw people onto the grassland, and it will take a year or two before they can clear their reputation.
By the time we got here, all the tricks we used to find trouble had failed.
So the evening celebrations were even more lively.
The celebration started with a big banquet in the afternoon and lasted until late at night.
Many people were drunk and just felt that this was a great experience.
Only a few sober people in the court knew that this was just a narrow victory. No matter which event it was, winning was never so easy.
In the minds of the Tianxiang Kingdom, as well as many previous dynasties in the Central Plains, if the victory was not beautiful enough, it was equivalent to not winning at all.
Be prepared for danger in times of peace, it should almost be engraved in our bones.
If you do not remember these words, you will soon be destroyed.
This time it really serves as a reminder to everyone that there are people out there who are eyeing them covetously. If they don't develop, they will be overtaken sooner or later.
In the past, Tianxiang State would not have given this face. You are late? Then please leave and don't come in.
But you can't say that now, the reason is very simple, who made you not as strong as before, not enough to crush them, and even lose?
So during the carnival, there were a few people who remained sober and restrained, and this was what the outsiders feared the most.
Especially the Northern Army Alliance, which has always been reluctant to take the lead.
They may have come here with the intention of testing others, otherwise they could have come or not, but their testing was more gentle.
Now I can see it.
It would be fine if these tribes on the grassland could unite, but if not, they will have to develop further before they can compete with the Tianxiang Kingdom.
Just when the Northern Army Alliance had this idea, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue who was in charge of the land in the country came to them and said with a smile: "I heard that the prince of your country is very interested in the tomatoes of Tianxiang Country. If you want to discuss it in detail, we can discuss a time later."
tomato?
The Minister of Agriculture continued, "Tomatoes are easy to grow. As long as there is soil, they will grow. In summer, one tomato seedling is enough for two or three people to eat. They taste great and are cheap."
Easy to grow, high yield, good taste and cheap.
Not to mention the son of the leader of the Northern Army Alliance, a prince, who is very interested in farming.
The Northern Army leader himself also showed great interest.
But if we talk to Tianxiang Kingdom in detail, it means that the alliance that has not yet been formed on the grassland is missing a piece, and the idea of forming alliances is directly cut off.
At most, if the two tribes unite, the pressure on Tianxiang Kingdom will be greatly reduced.
But after all, it is just an ingredient, not even a staple food.
Unexpectedly, the Minister of Revenue took out a booklet and said, "This is how to eat tomatoes and corn. You can take a look."
After saying this, the Minister of Revenue left immediately.
The instructions for consumption were written in both the Tianxiang Kingdom and the Northern Army Alliance languages, so they had absolutely no pressure reading them.
After reading this booklet, I realized how many ways there are to eat tomatoes and corn. The former has many ways of cooking, but the latter is more important. It can be used as a staple food, and the husks can also be used to feed livestock, making it an excellent concentrated feed.
Even though they have grasslands to graze, it doesn't mean they don't need feed.
It can be said that this booklet completely touched their hearts, and the corn is even more resistant to cold and flooding.
I was excited just now, but now I am crazy excited. I can't wait to get the seeds and planting methods of these two ingredients.
They both knew that this matter was not that simple and that they would have to pay a price.
There is also a price to pay when negotiating with the Shiyi clan, but in comparison, even the tribes on the grassland feel that the Tianxiang Kingdom is more reasonable.
At least they have some dignity and will not change their minds easily or deliberately fool others.
Having said that, the father and son of the Northern Army Alliance still need to discuss it first.
But at least now we will definitely not collude with the Ujiyoshi clan.
To suppress the Northern Army Alliance, only the Mu Yan clan and the Shi Yi clan were left.
The former is a coward and the most cunning, while the latter relies on his strong strength and is somewhat unscrupulous.
Fortunately, now that the autumn hunting is over, they can behave themselves for a while.
The autumn hunting officially ended on August 24th, which took almost ten days, making this Mid-Autumn Festival banquet different.
When the autumn hunting is over, the three tribes will leave one after another.
He came here with great momentum, but now he is going back in disgrace, which is really a joke.
Just when Su Wan was secretly negotiating with the Ministry of Revenue and the Grand Secretary of Dongge about tomato and corn seedlings with the Northern Army Alliance, the Shiyi clan, which had finally been quiet for a few days, suddenly made another request.
This request made Su Wan frown.
The Shiyi clan said that the Tianxiang Kingdom and the Shiyi clan had not had close contacts over the years, which led to various misunderstandings. In order to make the two sides more like one family.
The leader of the Shiyi clan wanted to marry the princess of Tianxiang Kingdom.
It is commonly known as marriage alliance.
As long as the two families get along, there will be peace and harmony in the world.
When Su Wan closed her eyes, she knew that the Shiyi clan would not let it go.
Having lost so much face in the Autumn Hunt, he has to rush here to surrender, but it is difficult to explain to the ministers on the grassland. Therefore, he asks to marry the princess of Tianxiang Kingdom, which can not be considered a "gain".
After all, marrying a princess is a matter of honor.
It's a way to save face.
From the perspective of the Shigeyoshi clan, marrying off a princess would ensure peace on the border, and they should be happy to see it happen.
What Tianxiang Kingdom wants most now is development, and marriage is the best way to stabilize the situation now.
Having lost face in the autumn hunting field, he had to marry the princess to save face.
Su Wan had never had a good impression of the Shiyi tribe before. They were able to bully other tribes on the grassland and send people from other tribes to their deaths. This time they were repeatedly provoking. Those who love war will eventually perish. This is them.
As soon as the request for marriage was made, there was a lot of discussion in the court.
If I must say, marriage through a foreign alliance is now the most time-saving and trouble-free method.
But sacrificing the princess for stability?
How is this possible?
Some people also think that the whole world supports the princess, and when the time comes for the princess to marry for the country, they cannot back down.
After hearing the latter words, Su Wan looked up at the person who spoke, her eyes slightly drooping, obviously not very happy.
But there were many people at the small meeting, so she didn't speak for the time being.
Xie Pei watched everyone talking, seemingly wanting to hear the outcome of their argument, but in fact he was already secretly naming them in his heart.
Some look down on women, and some value one’s family background.
He was not considering the princess, but felt that these people were here and would definitely be the main force to stop Su Wan in the future.
What should I do? It’s a bit annoying now.
There is no conclusion to the debate on this matter yet, but a decision must be made as soon as possible. It is now August 24th, and we must leave for Beijing on the 27th.
The three foreign tribes also have to return to the northwest, so a result must be known within three days.
If the marriage is peaceful, the two sides will live in peace. The Shiyi clan will both lose face and save face, so they will not act rashly for the time being.
The lack of marriage alliance, the autumn hunt and the refusal to marry the princess, these two embarrassing things together will inevitably lead to frequent unrest on the border in the future. Now is the time for the autumn harvest.
These tribes on the grassland like to come and grab food during the harvest time.
Su Wan originally wanted to stay, but when Xie Pei looked at her, it was obvious that the two of them were chatting privately and would not come to a conclusion for the time being. Seeing this, Su Wan felt relieved to leave.
If Xie Pei did something as cowardly as marrying a foreign prince, she would definitely be disappointed.
But Su Wan didn't expect that she would be stopped by the person in front of her on the way back to her residence.
The palace maid Wenqin subconsciously wanted to stop them, but when she looked at the two princesses in front of her, she was a little confused.
There were very few people in this place, and even fewer palace servants coming and going. The eight-year-old Princess Zhi had an anxious look in her eyes. She tightly pulled at the sleeve of her third sister, Princess An, and said to Su Wan, "Sister Su Wan, please, save Sister An, please."
Not to mention Princess An was stunned, Wenqin didn't expect that the fourth princess, Princess Zhi, would open her mouth with these words.
Princess An, with red and swollen eyes and a hoarse voice, subconsciously said, "Little sister, what nonsense are you talking about? Who is she? How can she be saved?"
"She can definitely be saved. If she can't be saved, then no one can." Princess Zhi said firmly, and the look in her eyes as she looked at Su Wan was obviously pleading.
Su Wan looked at the two princesses, and finally fixed her gaze on Princess Zhi, and finally said, "Don't worry, the marriage will never happen."
"Tianxiang Kingdom will never marry into the alliance."
