Wu Song

Chapter 36

There was a moment of silence inside and outside the hall, and the courtiers were heard shouting loudly from a distance: "By the order of the king, Shang Clan Tang will meet you."

Xiahou stared intently at the end of the steps, watching a strong man walk up slowly with his hands folded in front of his chest under the guidance of a courtier.This big man has yellowish skin, is only a fist shorter than Xiahou in stature, has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a mass of righteousness on his face, which is pleasing to the eye no matter how you look at it.Especially in Xiahou's place, he looked at this man with almost admiration, Yao Shunyu Tang, the Chinese people know this term, but who can see a real person with his own eyes, except Xiahou?

Shang Tang's surname is Zi, and his first name is Lu. Tang is his own name, also known as Wu Tang and Cheng Tang.This is not historical and archaeological data, so he is called Shang Tang, who is familiar to everyone in the world.

Shang Tang had something on his mind, and walked up with a frown, but felt that someone in the surrounding crowd was staring at him almost madly, and couldn't help but be very surprised.Turning his head to look, he saw a majestic burly man staring at him firmly. Judging by his description and attire, he was a member of the wild tribe in the south, but he didn't know his origin.But seeing that there was no malice in the big man's eyes, Shang Tang immediately nodded towards him, showing a generous smile.

Xiahou also smiled, raised the copper jue and poured wine into his mouth, but only three or five drops of the remaining juice poured out, he couldn't help being startled.Looking at the Jiu Jue in his hand that was crushed by himself, Xia Hou shook his head, casually threw the copper cake under the table, grabbed the wine urn, and while gulping down the good wine, he looked at Da Shangtang without turning his eyes. He entered the hall step by step, and knelt down in front of King Xia's seat.

"Shang Tang, a subject of the Shang family, has met the king."

King Xia laughed hahaha for a long time, then squinted his eyes and looked Shang Tang up and down for a while, and said kindly: "Forget it, it's hard work from afar. Take a seat."

A sapphire case floated up beside Xing Tian'e and other important officials, and several inner courtiers served wine, meat and delicacies, and Shang Tang knelt down behind the case.

King Xia raised his wine bar, glanced at everyone present from left to right, and said in a loud voice, "Come on, everyone toast a glass of Shang soup. But, I don't know what's the matter with you this time?"

Shang Tang drank the juju wine very calmly, stood up, saluted and said: "Your Majesty, there is something that you want to be the master of."

King Xia was in a good mood, very good, just now Xiahou helped him to teach Hairen a hard lesson, showing a big face.Therefore, he said generously: "Make the decision? Well, this king will make the decision for you. Tell me what's the matter. Hehe, could it be that you were scolded by your father for marrying a foreign woman?"

The important ministers in the hall laughed.Shang Tang's face remained motionless, and after another deep salute, he said lightly: "My lord, this time it's about the Dongyi people. In the past few months, the Dongyi people have aggressively invaded our Shang clan's territory, and have seized several of our fat The pasture. The father of the subject asked the king to be the master of our Shang clan. The barbarians are so powerful that our Shang clan can't resist."

Xiang Liuhui's eyeballs flickered for a while, Xing Tian'e just drank nonchalantly, but in the end it was Shen Gongli, the patriarch of Shen Gong's family, who jumped up: "My lord, the Dongyi people bully my Daxia kingdom like this, it's really disgusting to the extreme, I have to go Teach them a lesson."

Xing Tian'e raised his head and shouted: "We are about to fight the Hairen, and now we are fighting with the Dongyi people. What should we do with the army's food and grass?"

Xiang Liuhui said quietly: "If Daxia's army goes to deal with the Dongyi people, the royal court will naturally ask the royal court to distribute the army's food and grass. However, the closest to the Shang clan is the family land of Duke Shen, right?"

King Xia blinked his eyes, pondered for a while, and said vaguely: "The battle with the sea is imminent. Jiuli in the south and Hujie in the north will also keep the army staring at them. Don't you need to make a big fuss to deal with the Dongyi people?" Let's raise troops to crusade." Xiahou could see from King Xia's face that he seemed reluctant to give out the military salary and food for nothing to fight the Dongyi people, so he was obviously stingy.

Shang Tang sat down again, put the wine baron firmly on the table, and said in a deep voice: "At the junction of our clan and Dongyi people, within our territory, a new jade mine has been obtained, and the quality is excellent. The subject's father said, whoever Wu family raises troops to repel Dongyi for our Shang family, this jade mine is offered with both hands!"

King Xia, Xiang Liuzhen, Xing Tian'e, Shen Gongli and even Fang Fengxi shot out their eyes at the same time, and asked in unison, "How about the reserves?"

Shang Tang bowed his body and said: "The monthly production of high-grade raw jade is more than a thousand square meters."

Before the four could open their mouths, King Xia had already shouted: "Wonderful, the merchants belong to our country, and Dongyi dared to invade, but they didn't pay attention to my Great Xia? Send orders to wait for the weather, and lead the king's court to ride bears." , Biaoqi, Huqi, Pengqi, dispatch troops immediately, and teach those bastards of Dongyi a good lesson."

Xing Tian'e spread his hands, his face full of helplessness.This king is too quick to strike.

Shen Gongli was unwilling to let the benefits slip away for nothing.He heard him yelling loudly: "Your Majesty, the clan of the minister is close to the Shang clan. If the nine princes send troops, it will take a long time. It is better to let the clan of the minister to attack nearby."

King Xia refused, and shook his head again and again: "The Prime Minister's words are wrong. The army of the royal court will not be out for a long time, and it will not be reused in the future. This is just a good time to hone, how can you let your clan do it for you? Especially the Shang clan is our vassal state of Daxia. If my Royal Court of Great Xia doesn’t respond, and your Shen Gong family sends troops to conquer instead, wouldn’t it make the Dongyi people laugh at you?”

Shen Gongli's face was full of displeasure, and King Xia seemed to think that eating alone was a bit too much. He blinked his eyes, pondered for a moment, and reluctantly said: "Forget it, what Cheng Gong said makes sense. The king's army was dispatched from Anyi. The days are long, but it's too late. The prime minister and the four princes sent out an army each, and first wiped out the Dongyi people in the Shang clan's territory, and waited for the Wangting's army to arrive, and then joined forces to teach the Dongyi people a lesson. It doesn't matter to the barbarians."

The four old men of Xing Tian'e immediately showed a smile. It's easy to say that when the army arrives at the jade mine, they will dig to their heart's content first, and then hand it over to Hun Tianhou. Isn't that hurtful?

Xia Hou only felt it was funny, why did the emperors and ministers of Daxia send troops to fight, it was as if the gangsters were splitting the loot.Look at Shang Tang sitting there motionless, expressionless, the flash of light in his eyes, is it disdain?

Shang Tang stood up again, and flattered King Xia and the Prime Minister Sigong for a while, thanking them for their kindness to the vassal state.Afterwards, Shang Tang changed the topic and sighed: "My lord, our Shang clan has been invaded wantonly by the Dongyi people this time, but we suffer from insufficient armaments. Therefore, my father confessed to my subordinates. If the king is willing, the clan is willing to pay a lot of money. I want to obtain a batch of high-quality armor and weapons. In addition, in order to show our clan's respect to the king, there are hundreds of virgins from various clans collected to accompany me this time, please accept it with a smile."

There was a flash of red light on King Xia's face, and he said excitedly: "The hundred virgins, you can hand them over to Chief Hei Ming. Well, do you want arms? There are various mineral deposits in your merchant territory, and there are many craftsmen. Ask Anyi to buy armaments?"

Shang Tang bowed his head: "Your Majesty, how can the craftsmen in the subject clan compare with the master wizards in Anyi?"

King Xia blinked and looked at Shen Gongli.Shen Gongli immediately stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, there is a batch of high-quality armor and weapons in the military warehouse recently, ready to replace the troops and horses of the various ministries of the Royal Court. If the merchants really need it urgently, they can also discuss it." , give them a share for the time being. It’s just that it takes time and effort to build this ordnance.”

Shang Tang said in harmony: "The Dongyi people deceive people too much. This family is willing to increase the price by [-]% to get the batch of weapons, so as to teach the Dongyi people a lesson."

Hearing that Shang Tang took the initiative to raise the price, King Xia was overjoyed and said with a smile, "It's so good, it's so good. I wonder how many sets of armor and weapons the Shang clan needs?"

Shang Tang said something very lively: "Well, it depends on whether the red gold brought this time is enough. If it is enough, naturally the more the better. The ministers should also ask the king to replace the shield with the army of the king's court. , give us a batch too."

To deal with Dongyi people who are good at shooting, shields are indeed the best thing.King Xia nodded: "Okay, Chenggong is in charge of this matter. Those shields can be considered as gifts. However, the price of those armored weapons must not be missing a lot of money. Although my Great Xia is powerful, this family is rich. It’s also the accumulation of big money and big money.”

Shang Tang fell on the ground and thanked him again and again.

Sitting in his seat, Xiahou felt uncomfortable all over, his body writhing desperately.Shang Tang gave him the feeling that it was like a deep pool, unfathomable, which made him feel chills in his heart.An instinct was constantly reminding Xiahou, never to go against this person.This feeling was very bad, and it made the back of Xiahou's neck feel chilly, and even the ups and downs of his mood when he met Shang Tang just now, he immediately calmed down.

Looking back at Bai, this bad Pixiu has already fallen to the ground with white eyes, and the strong smell of alcohol is coming out of his mouth, it seems that he has passed out again.Inside and outside the main hall, the monarchs, ministers and people of Great Xia were cheering loudly, holding up their wine cups and tasting the fine wine.More dancing girls poured out from the back of the hall, singing and dancing in the hall, and the sound of jade chime bells drifted far away.

After drinking a few more sips of wine, seeing Xiang Liurou and his group of flamboyant children rushing into the hall to watch the dancing girls, Xiahou couldn't help but feel bored. He patted Xing Tian Dafeng on the shoulder and asked in a low voice: "Is there anything in the palace?" , can people freely watch it?"

Xing Tian Dafeng was also a little drunk, looked back at Xiahou, waved his hand and said, "It's okay to go for a walk. As long as you can enter the gate of the palace, you can play freely in the 99 halls and many gardens in the front palace. The back palace is the king's daily life. You can't enter the place, but there are great witches from the witch palace guarding it, so you don't have to worry about going to the wrong place. If you want to see something new, go as you like."

After a pause, Xing Tian Dafeng took out a piece of his body the size of a slap, and carved a red gold token with the pattern of a black sheep with flames all over his body, and stuffed it to Xiahou: "Walk as you please, as long as you don't tear down the pillars of the palace hall , no one will care what you do in the palace." Shaking his head, Xing Tian Dafeng turned around again, forcibly pulled a familiar friend beside him, and poured wine into his mouth.

Xiahou nodded, and stuffed Bai under the case to prevent him from being stepped on.It was really not interesting to look around at a group of drunken people, so I took Xing Tian Gale's token, got off the nine-level platform of the main hall, and walked to a green garden on the left.He originally wanted to go to the place where the Kyushu Ding is located to see if he could really absorb more energy through the Kyushu Ding, but think about it, since the Kyushu Ding is the artifact of the Great Xia Township, someone will naturally be watching secretly, and he alone It was too abrupt for a person to run around and touch the Kyushu tripod, so he could only suppress this touching thought.

Xinma reined in and walked at random, Xia Hou felt a burst of confusion in his heart.Would you like to join the Black Army's war against the Hairen and slaughter the soldiers and people of the Hairen?

He has no motivation to do so.Because he didn't have any sense of identity with this big summer.Although various signs have proved that this place should be the lost link in history.However, he couldn't explain why there was no moon in the sky, but there was a big star between Mars and Jupiter in the astrology.Especially the land under the feet, the area is really ridiculously large.

Everything is like a dream, Xiahou doesn't want to go all out and kill people for an almost illusory country.He was a warrior, not a butcher who slaughtered for the will of some king.

The body passed through a restriction, and the scenery in front of him changed, and it had become a huge garden.There are several small peaks rising from the ground in the distance, and there are dense forests nearby.There is a small lake with a radius of more than ten miles in the middle of the garden. The water is sparkling, and it is the most beautiful season in early autumn.Xiahou secretly admired the magical spell restriction in the Great Xia Palace. From the outside, the Great Xia Palace is just an ordinary large courtyard, but he doesn’t know how many layers of space have been compressed inside. Layers of lakes and mountains, palaces and pavilions , It is simply the mansion of the gods.

Standing in the woods, looking towards the lake for a long time, the cool wind blows, the water on the lake is rippling, countless leaves fly from the colorful leaf forest on the shore, and sprinkle into the lake one after another, you can see the whole crystal-like lake, The spots are spotty, and the color suddenly becomes richer.

The cool wind blew on his body, Xiahou's body shivered a few times, he looked around in a cunning manner, hid behind a very tall tree, untied his belt, and had a hearty urinate.While washing the weeds with small purple flowers by the root of the tree with water jets, Xia Hou hummed happily: "Wonderful, the cool breeze blows cool and the scenery is pleasant, but this open-air public toilet is very good. I don't know In this court, apart from me, how many people dare to urinate here?"

Suddenly there was a light cough from behind, Xiahou was so frightened that his whole body trembled, he quickly tied up his belt, and looked back in embarrassment.

A dozen or so feet behind, stood a young man with a large wooden barrel in his hand.Just look at him with broad shoulders, powerful eyes, red face, a pair of ring eyes faintly shining, and he is full of energy.When Xia Hou looked at it, he couldn't help being shocked. This young man clearly has all the meridians, and there is a natural flow of fresh air in his body, and his inner strength is not weak.But looking at the green cloth jacket on his body, it can be seen that his status in the palace is very humble.

Xiahou laughed dryly: "This brother, haha, this autumn is so refreshing."

The young lady laughed a few times, squinted her eyes and said with a smile: "This lord is very interested. This is the first time in this Dragon Garden that someone has a pee here." He looked at the water mark under his subordinate intentionally or not. After a few glances, his face was covered with a weird smile that made Xiahou blush.

Smiling, the young man paid no attention to Xia Hou, and walked towards the lake with the big wooden barrel that was half a person tall and two feet in diameter, step by step.Xiahou quickly caught up with a few steps, snatched the wooden barrel shyly, and said with a dry smile: "Forget it, I will carry a certain distance for you. Alas, it is inevitable for people to eat and drink. I was in a hurry, but I didn't know the palace Where is the clean room in the house, I can only solve it anywhere." Xiahou is so embarrassed, how embarrassed is he to be caught in this kind of thing?

The young man shrugged his shoulders and led Xiahou to a grassy field by the lake, shaking his hands.As he walked, he smiled and said, "Is this your first time entering the palace? But it's no wonder that many people get lost here every year. There are restrictions everywhere, and the place is terrifyingly large. Many places have been deserted for many years. It's a matter of urgency. I'm also a big man. It's nothing if I see this kind of thing. If the king's woman sees it, you will be in big trouble."

Xiahou secretly scolded nonsense in his heart, he would urinate everywhere in the palace, if the concubine of King Xia saw him, he would have to take Bai out of Anyi immediately, and he might not be able to escape.

He laughed and said, "Didn't I meet you, brother? This is also my luck. I am Chihu Tyrannosaurus, and now I am eating rice under Xingtian Dafeng of Xingtian's family. Brother, you are carrying a big bucket of meat and What are the fresh fruits doing by the lake?"

The young man looked at Xia Hou in surprise, nodded and said, "Oh, you are that barbarian who won a big victory in the school field last month and made a big splash? Your tone of voice is not like those rude and uneducated I am a dragon slave in the palace. I don’t have a name. The supervisors call me Huang Yi, so you can call me that.” He pointed to the big wooden barrel and smiled: “What are you doing with the wooden barrel? Of course It's to feed the dragon."

Xiahou stayed for a long time
