Chapter 10 Friends and Foes
Chapter 10 Enemy and Friends
In the brightly lit tent, Feng Wuhen sat on the ground, with Xiao Fangzi and Ming Jue standing behind him, and Lai Shan and his daughter opposite him. Xiao Yunchao had already returned to the tent to enjoy the good fortune, and even Yu Rongqi did not want to get involved in the private affairs of other people's tribes. What's more, the old man who had read all the world had already vaguely noticed Lai Shan's intentions. Didn't he just use this daughter to climb to the crown prince of the dynasty? He brought out so many names, but he didn't expect that the grassland man would have so many more colorful things now.
At this time, Yana had long lost the passion and unrestrainedness of her dancing. She sat behind her father without saying a word, but she looked up from time to time and looked at Feng Wuhen opposite her, not knowing what she was thinking. Feng Wuhen looked at the delicate braid on her head, and seemed to have returned to her childhood, and was a little stunned for a moment.
Lai Shan didn't care about his daughter's thoughts and said bluntly: "Since His Highness has asked, Xiao Wang dare not hide it. When he was ordered by his father to sweep away a group of horse thieves, Xiao Wang rested in a small tribe. Seeing that our clan was powerful and Xiao Wang was born with extraordinary appearance, he asked his daughter to serve me for a few days, which was Yana's mother. When she left, she was pregnant, so Xiao Wang gave her the token and told her that no matter whether she had a boy or a girl, she must report to Kurten's tribe. When she returned to victory in the end, the small tribe had already left the ranch, and since then, Xiao Wang never had any news about them."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yana looked up and continued, "My mother just hired another tribe. Although she thought about her father, she knew that it would be impossible for that small tribe to marry into the Kurten tribe, and she didn't want to be bullied, so she agreed to get married. However, she still remembered her father. When I was born, she sent someone to send a letter to her father, but she no longer contacted her again."
This complicated relationship made Feng Wuhen dizzy, but the girl looked extremely cute and he didn't feel bored. At this time, Lai Shan saw that the time was almost done, so he spoke: "Your Highness, although I have several sons, my daughter has already married far away, and there is only Yana left by my side. Although I still have time to give her a title, I guess the emperor will not refute my face, so she is a princess at least. I know that Your Highness may not be able to like her, but I still want to ask Your Highness to promise this marriage. In the future, my Kurten tribe will do my best to serve Your Highness!"
Feng Wuhen had already seen the clues from Lai Shan's words and deeds. It turned out that the prince wanted to marry Ling Yun again with this daughter. He was already the prince. After ascending the throne, this woman could be named a concubine due to her family background. In this way, the Kurten tribe could immediately use this relationship to overwhelm other tribes. However, from the perspective of gains and losses, this matter was beneficial but not only favorable, but also able to win over the golden tribe, but also fulfill the father's instructions. However, since the example of Yue Qiyan, Feng Wuhen has been somewhat wary of such pure interest marriages. Therefore, even though he knew that this matter was almost a foregone conclusion, he had to be in a dim way.
"The prince's kindness is recognized by his heart. However, this major event must be submitted to the emperor. Otherwise, if it is spread, it will not only ruin Princess Yana's reputation, but also be detrimental to the prince." Feng Wuhen tried to make his words more silence, "It would be better to let the prince accompany the princess wander around during the alliance, so as not to let her reluctantly do so, wouldn't it be a bad scenery?" He knew that the emperor would definitely promise this marriage, so he had to find ways to learn more about the girl and cultivate feelings by the way. Otherwise, if a person with unknown identity and personality stayed by his side, it would be boring.
Lai Shan was immediately overjoyed. Feng Wuhen's remarks were not so rude, but rather as saying that he had given him a clear path. He had already prepared a memorial for his daughter to be sealed, but fortunately, he had not delivered it yet. Now he only needs to add a request to give the marriage to the memorial. He stood up and bowed respectfully: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your attention. If your daughter has a home, Xiao Wang, the father, can be at ease."
Feng Wuhen hurriedly stood up and supported the most noble prince in Mongolia in Monan. "The prince is so serious. If the father agrees to marry, then you and I will be the father-in-law and son-in-law in the future. How can you perform this great gift? This alliance is of great importance, so it depends entirely on the prince's assistance." He glanced at Lai Shan deeply and pinched his hand meaningfully, obviously to remind the other party not to be careless.
Lai Shanchang smiled, his face full of solemn expressions, and his words were also a little murderous. "Don't worry, Your Highness, the prince, Xiao Wang has already known the two divisions of Sotu and Sak, and all the armored cavalry have been in place. If someone wants to take the opportunity to attack, he is afraid that he can come and cannot go back!" As soon as he said this, the daughter behind him shrank uneasyly, obviously a little scared.
After finally waiting for the father and daughter to retreat, Feng Wuhen sighed deeply. Looking at Princess Yana's appearance, she seemed to have no objection to her father's proposal. Coupled with the teasings she had in the table, she obviously had Lai Shan's approval, so he had no room for rejection. Her grandmother Empress Xiaoci was only awarded the title of concubine when she entered the palace. Finally, after the emperor ascended the throne, Fang promoted her to Empress Dowager Xiaoci, and she enjoyed several years of honor before she passed away. Now Lai Shan has the previous example, so he had this idea.
No one came to disturb him that night, Feng Wuhen slept peacefully for a good night. But when he met Xiao Yun at them the next morning, he found that the two of them were full of deep tiredness and couldn't help but smile. Even the relatives and nobles of all races yawned out of the camp, and it was obvious that they had experienced a big battle last night.
Since everyone focused their attention on the girls last night, they were the first time they met Lai Shan and his sons. Apart from the prince Kertai and his youngest son Bhutto, others did not attract much attention from Feng Wuhen. After all, the next prince should be among these two. However, judging from the face and behavior of the two, the prince Kertai was undoubtedly the best candidate to succeed the throne. Seeing his appropriate attitude towards people, he knew that his qualities were not ordinary, and he was obviously influenced by the Central Plains culture. The youngest son Bhutto was such a sinister and cunning person at first glance. No matter from which angle, Feng Wuhen could not find any reliable feeling.
The late-arriving envoy of Junggar also rushed over on this day. It was Tegu, the murderer who had previously washed away the Lunsu tribe and killed the former Lunsu prince Fuerda. Lu Yuanchang and Zhang Yunfeng had fought with him once before, of course they would not have any good face. Even the real power figures of other tribes all showed disdain and contempt. Tegu, however, had an unconscious look on his face, as if he had not felt cold at all.
Tegu was just a general under the Junggar Ketuceling's subordinate, so Lai Shan did not introduce Feng Wuhen for him, and Tegu had never mentioned it in a sensible way. Since the princes and princes of all tribes had not arrived, some of the people who came were purely small characters who were purely observing the style of the wind. For the sake of safety, Lai Shan never let Feng Wuhen show up again since that banquet. Lu Yuanchang and Zhang Yunfeng were naturally the happiest. Their military horses firmly protected Feng Wuhen's tent, and unexpected accidents happened.
Although he restricted his freedom, Feng Wuhen would never dare to act rashly again this time. Lai Shan's move was undoubtedly kind-hearted. Before the alliance, the dragon and snake were mixed together. If someone was targeted again, the matter would be out of control. Therefore, he only secretly met with several princes and princes in his tent, and the rest were introduced by Lai Shan. In addition, Lai Shan's daughter Yana often found various excuses to stay for a while, and occasionally pestered Feng Wuhen to talk about some interesting stories in the capital, so Feng Wuhen lived a comfortable life.
It was not until the tenth day after Feng Wuhen arrived that Junggar Khan Ketuceling led 500 personal guards to the Kurten tribe's khan tent. The princes who were still leisurely and contented just now changed their faces when they saw him, and several princes and princes of Moxi Mongolia showed hatred. Obviously, after the gradual recovery of Junggar over the years, their lives became more and more sad. However, Ketuceling seemed to have not noticed these different gazes, but walked directly to Lai Shan and bowed slightly.
"Thank you for the letter sent by the prince. I'm now obeying the order." Ketuceling said slowly with a calm expression, "However, the Kurten tribe is worthy of being the golden tribe on the grassland, and it's no problem to call a hundred promises!" This sentence showed naked hostility, and everyone looked sideways. Even Ming Jue, who was invisible, had a slightly moved face, obviously surprised by this unwise move.
Before Lai Shan could speak, Ketu glanced around and suddenly smiled at the sky for a long time. As soon as the laughter stopped, he said in a deep voice: "It is really regrettable that my Mongolian cavalry is famous all over the world, but now I have to listen to the advice of others. However, while all the princes admire the Central Plains, they only live in this corner, which is a disagreement. I heard that His Royal Highness of the Crown Prince has arrived. After this alliance, I want to ask him for favors and visit the Central Plains. This is the feat of a truly good man!"
