Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 624: Another Visit to the Jurchen Tribe

After hearing what Zhao Mu said, Wan Yansheng, who was ignorant of his own danger, quickly took advantage of the situation and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your magnanimity. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your magnanimity."

Zhao Mu looked at Wanyan Sheng and Bao Bu Tong who were kneeling on the ground and said, "Okay, everyone, get up. I came here this time because I have something important to discuss with Master Murong and Aguda. I don't have much time. If I go back too late, I will inevitably be discovered. So this time, Mr. Wanyan should deal with the goods in your hands as soon as possible. Let's go to the Jurchen tribe as soon as possible to discuss serious matters."

"Yes!" Wanyan Sheng then left the tent immediately. He informed his Jurchen followers that they didn't need to worry about the gains and losses this time. As long as the other party offered a similar price, they would sell it to them directly. They also emptied the carriages and horses as soon as possible, and then purchased the supplies needed by other Jurchen tribes.

Inside the tent, Bao Bu Tong asked, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for saying so much. Your Majesty came here this time, but why didn't you see Miss Wang and Miss A-Bi? They should not miss this opportunity to meet my master."

Zhao Mu replied: "Yuyan, Abi and the others are all pregnant now. It is inconvenient for them to travel far."

Hearing what Zhao Mu said, Bao Bu Tong also said: "Is that so? Good, good too."

Afterwards, Bao Bu Tong, who was always talkative, stopped talking and walked out of the tent, asking his men to deal with the goods as soon as possible.

If there is anyone among Murong Fu and his group who truly cares about Wang Yuyan, A-Bi and A-Zhu, it is only the foul-mouthed Mr. Bao San.

Although Bao Bu Tong usually talks a lot and speaks harshly, which easily offends people, he is a man of affection and righteousness. He really treats Wang Yuyan, A Bi, A Zhu and others as sisters.

When Murong Fu sold Wang Yuyan and A Bi to Zhao Mu in exchange for hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, Bao Bu Tong was the saddest. The two of them are different from A Zhu.

When Ah Zhu was planning to marry Zhao Mu, he was happy for her from the bottom of his heart. After all, marrying a royal relative, even if she was a concubine, was still a step up. It was better than being a maid in the Murong family. Moreover, Ah Zhu really loved Zhao Mu, so as an older brother, he naturally blessed her.

But he also knew that A-Bi and Wang Yuyan were both fans of Murong Fu. They had never liked Zhao Mu. Even if they became his queen, they probably wouldn't be too happy. That's why Bao Bu Tong asked this question.

Bao Bu Tong saw the beauty of Queen Wang and others, and thought that Wang Yuyan and others were just playthings around Zhao Mu. He wanted to spend a few more words to persuade Zhao Mu to send Wang Yuyan and others back, or wait until the Great Yan Kingdom was restored and then redeem them with a large sum of money.

But when Bao Bu Tong heard that Wang Yuyan and A Bi were both pregnant with Zhao Mu's child, he had to swallow back the words that were on his lips. When he thought about how their Great Yan Kingdom was revived by relying on women's connections, he felt a little bit cowardly.

Because of Zhao Mu's order, Bao Bu Tong and Wan Yan Sheng no longer coveted a small profit. Because of the clearance sale, their goods should have been sold for five or six days, but this time they were completely sold out in one day.

After selling all the goods, the two groups bought the goods they needed from other merchants at high prices. After loading the car, they took Zhao Mu and his party to the Jurchen tribe.

The whole journey was full of muddy and rugged mountain roads. And because they were going deep into Liao territory, they needed to conceal their whereabouts. Queen Wang and the others could not wear anything too flashy, and they even lost their previous luxury cars.

On some routes, not only were there no luxury cars, but they had to get off the cars and walk. How could these women who had been kept in seclusion for years have ever suffered such a hardship?

Such treatment made these spoiled women very dissatisfied. The people who had been outing like tourists before were now all upset.

Because of Zhao Mu's majesty, although they looked unhappy, they did not dare to say anything more.

Fortunately, after only a few days' journey, they arrived at the Jurchen tribe after a long absence. After Zhao Mu entered the Jurchen tribe, he looked around and found that the current Jurchen tribe was completely different from before. Both the area and the mental outlook of the people had changed a lot.

The Jurchen tribe used to be only a few miles in size, but now it is like a small city.

The planning and layout of the city is also very methodical. Previously, the men of the Jurchen tribe basically wore jungle fur clothing, which was in line with the appearance of mountain hunters.

But when Zhao Mu came in, he saw that they were all wearing fur armor. Moreover, they were walking in groups of three or five in a row, which was quite orderly. It was a bit like a regular army.

Zhao Mu said, "Haha, it's true that one should look at others with new eyes after three days of absence. After not seeing them for a long time, the Jurchen tribe has become so presentable."

Wanyan Sheng, who was beside Zhao Mu, explained, "It's like this. Since Mr. Murong arrived, he has also started to help our Jurchen tribe train soldiers. My eldest brother also appointed officials and awarded titles to everyone according to the military and official systems of the Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty. Everyone also has a military position and a title, which naturally makes the situation different."

Zhao Mu said, "That's good. Only an army like this can be deployed to fight the Liao people. If we just keep the hunter-like appearance, how can we defeat the Liao people?"

When Wanyan Sheng heard Zhao Mu's comments, he did not argue with him, but just nodded repeatedly.

After all, what appeared before Zhao Mu was just a second-rate garrison left by the Jurchen tribe. Wanyan Sheng had already sent someone to inform Aguda that the real elite troops had been transferred away.

For example, there was the heavy cavalry unit modeled after the Iron Pagoda of Qi State, and there were also the Crooked Horses that Wanyan Zongbing came up with to cooperate with this unit in combat.

Wanyan Sheng did this because he did not want Zhao Mu to know the true strength of the Jurchen tribe.

Recently, the Jurchen tribe used money and women to dig up many frustrated but powerful people from the Liao Kingdom. One of the Han Chinese fortune tellers told them the truth of "do not use a latent dragon". Now their careers are on the rise. They should not expose their strength too early, even if this person is their "master".

Of course, the Jurchens never intended to be "slaves" of the Han people.

Therefore, they not only guarded against the Liao Kingdom, but also against the Song Dynasty behind Zhao Mu.

After all, if the Liao Kingdom fell, the only threat to the Jurchens would be the huge Song Dynasty. It was difficult for them to guarantee that the Song Dynasty would not swallow them up in one gulp in the future.

After crossing several streets, they arrived at a large wooden house.

This wooden house is located in the middle of the city. Zhao Mu knew that this was where Aguda lived. Zhao Mu stood there and watched. Although this wooden house was still not very good, at least compared to the tent-like house before, these Jurchens at least had a decent house.

Wanyan Sheng took a few steps ahead and shouted loudly: "His Majesty the Emperor Zhong of the Great Song Dynasty has arrived!"

Hearing this, Aguda and Murong Fu, who were chatting in the house, hurried out to greet them.
