Chapter 267 (1/2)
In the evening, hamuye sat in the tent, thinking about the day's negotiations, and he was more and more uncertain about the tulip Duke. Originally, he was deeply afraid of this guy, but now it seems that it is not too difficult to deal with.
War horses, cattle, sheep and other things are most abundant on the grassland. It took some cost to do so, which was the reason why the envoys had been psychologically prepared before this time. He is the uncle of the king of grassland and a figure in the core circle of Wangting. Naturally, he understood the royal court's strategy towards the Roland empire. In the long run, sooner or later, grassland will fight against this huge empire. The war more than 20 years ago, let grassland people flow too much blood. Such hatred can't be wiped out with time.
Although this huge empire seems to be powerful, the grassland people are gratified that this behemoth seems to be powerful. In fact, after careful study, it is not difficult to see that it is strong outside but strong in the middle. Although the Roland Empire claimed to support two million soldiers, several main battle legions of the Empire, one million local garrison troops, and a powerful naval fleet. At the same time, those noble lords in the Empire also had private army.
However, for more than ten years, hamuye, who has devoted himself to the study of the Roland people, has also seen the weaknesses of the Roland people very thoroughly. The emperor of the empire is becoming more and more fatigued. Under the great success of Augustine VI, he has wasted the last vitality of the Empire on Nanyang. The huge army also brought huge military expenditure. The ridiculous South Ocean Expedition, instead of bringing benefits to the Empire, became a huge black hole that swallowed up the Empire's finance. The fatuous emperor, the greedy aristocratic group, and the corrupt bureaucratic system make this giant. It's like a withered tree... Push it down, just need patience!
In fact, the northwest army and the central part of the Empire, as well as the aristocratic lords who seemed to be stable but were actually ready to move, had become similar to the existence of the local emperor. Such a large empire, seemingly powerful, actually has many internal troubles.
As for that huge and awe inspiring naval fleet... Hum, no matter how powerful the navy is. Can it drive to land! Can you drive to the grassland? Joke!
Today's peace talks have paid a lot. But if we can get a temporary peace with the Empire. It doesn't need to be too old. It lasts for five years at most, or at least three years. When the young Dilang on the grassland grow up, when the wolf cubs can open their teeth and claw, it's time to push down the big tree!
Compared with this purpose, we should send some horses, cattle and sheep for the time being. What is it?
This tulip Duke... Well, it seems that's all. Originally thought he was very clever, but he turned out to be a greedy man, with 10000 pieces of cowhide and thousands of slaves. I bought him off.
However, to ask the grassland people to take the initiative to seek peace, this condition, hamuye still bite, did not let go. Although he understood. The Empire needs this ”face”. After all, it would be a shame for a great empire to take the initiative to seek peace from the little grassland people. However, hamuye still wants to bite this condition to test the bottom line of Roland people.
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard his bodyguard's cry: ”who is it?”
Then I heard a dull hum!
Although he was not good at martial arts, he was also used to seeing bodhidi people on the grassland. As soon as he heard it, he judged that someone was sneaking in at night, and his bodyguard gave out a short, stuffy hum, which was mostly knocked down.
He was shocked, and the first thought in his mind was: is this tulip Duke going to kill me? Is Roland going to turn over?
The idea was just a flash of time. The curtain of the tent had been lifted, and two shadows stood outside the tent. Hamuye looked at them. I can't help but change my face!
In the moonlight. Outside the tent stood two figures, one high and one low, not far away. You can see that it's like a man and a woman, and the dress of these two people is the reason that makes hamuye change color!
The two bodyguards who had been guarding outside the tent had fallen to the ground. They heard the movement around them, and there had been the grassland warriors who had been guarding for a long time. However, these warriors all gaped at the two men. Some of them had already pulled out half of their machetes, but they honestly took them back and stood around quietly, neither entering nor retreating.
Only because, these two visitors, one of the women, whispered in the language of the grassland: ”people from Daxueshan are forbidden to speak!”
For people on the grassland, the status of Daxueshan in their hearts is so lofty. On the snowy mountain, witches walk on the grassland, bringing benefits to countless people. Everyone knows how to dress up.
In front of him was a man and a woman. She was dressed in a gray robe, obviously dressed as a wizard in the snow mountain. On the grassland, few people wore robes. For the convenience of daily work, herdsmen in the grassland wore narrow clothes and sleeves. This kind of loose robe is very eye-catching.
In particular, the sorceress's robe is clearly rusted with several marks. At first glance, it is clear that it is the mark of Daxueshan!
There are also women on the snow mountain, but there are not many down the mountain.
What's more surprising to these people is that standing half a step behind the female wizard, this person is also dressed as a wizard, and actually
White robe!
The white robed wizard is a noble man on the snow mountain. Everyone knows the status of the white robed wizard on the grassland! Seeing such a white wizard come here quietly in the middle of the night, who dares to make noise? There have been people who dare not give up the atmosphere and stand upright with their hands in the most honest manner, and even dare not look at the two witches. And the one who drew the sword just now regretted his rude behavior just now, hoping not to offend these two noble wizard adults.
”No sound.”
This female wizard whispered a word, let everyone heart a shock. As soon as his face changed, he was surprised and looked around. Then he bowed respectfully and said in a low voice, ”it's the venerable guest on the snow mountain! Dear wizard, may I ask... ”
”Talk in the tent, don't let the wind out.”
Although AILU's voice was a little immature. It made him wonder why the witch sounded so young. Moreover, AI Lu's face was covered with veil, and she couldn't see clearly. But it's also a custom on the grassland. It's very popular to cover the face with gauze.
And the white wizard in the back is absolutely an important person he dare not neglect! White robed wizard, even when he comes to the king's court, the king of grassland will be polite to him!
Dewey's face was masked, too. He only showed a pair of eyes. He was afraid that hamuye would see the flaw. He also made a trick to change the contour of his face and eyes with dough and dye. In this way, he couldn't see it after wearing the mask. Especially in the evening, the other side dare not look at themselves impertinently and want to get by. It shouldn't be difficult.
In the middle of the night, there was a wizard coming mysteriously. He only said that there must be something on the snow mountain. He didn't dare to neglect it. He quickly ordered other grassland warriors to guard around carefully. Then he quickly bowed and led them into the tent.
”Don't sit down.” In the tent, as soon as hamuya was about to serve tea, Ali had interrupted him: ”Prince hamuya, please accept the decree of the wizard king.”
As expected, hamuye changed color. He looked awe inspiring and honestly knelt down on one knee with the most noble etiquette on the grassland.
”The Witch King said: things are not going to drag on for a long time, and the Duke of tulip's conditions can be met as much as possible if he can promise. Don't offend him! Do you understand? ”
Huh?
After hearing this sentence, hamuye could not help but be stunned. Several thoughts suddenly turned in his mind. The decree of the wizard king was rarely issued, but this time it was such an inexplicable will, which was hard to understand. There was some doubt in his heart, but after all, the status of Daxueshan was too lofty. He didn't doubt that the two witches were fake for a moment.
”Lord wizard... The meaning of the wizard King's edict...” hamuye did not dare to get up and raised his head to test.
AILU was silent for a moment, and then whispered, ”that's what the Witch King said. other. Do it yourself. ”
All of a sudden, he became more and more confused. At last, there was a faint idea in my mind. Although I didn't dare to doubt it, I tried to say: ”excuse me, the names of the two witches...”
”My name is elulina, you should have never heard of my name. But you should have heard of it. ”
Hamuye's heart trembled! What's the planning room? Of course, he knows that the preparatory room is a special one on the snowy mountain. It's the first of the three rooms. It's true that this female wizard can tell this!
”The Witch King is my teacher. This time I was ordered to come down the mountain just to do something with the Roland people. Well
”After a pause, ALU said, ”the teacher is worried that the magician in Roland is difficult to deal with. I'm afraid I can't deal with it alone, so I asked the white robed magician to escort me all the way.”
A disciple of the Witch King?
Hamuye felt a cold sweat on his forehead! Fortunately, I didn't say anything disrespectful just now. Otherwise, I would offend the disciples of the king of witchcraft. In case the other party blames him, even the king of grassland can't protect himself!
He didn't dare to look at the sorceress. He only felt that it would be disrespectful to look at the sorceress King's disciples carefully. He turned to Du Wei and said, ”I don't know who the white wizard is...”
Fortunately, Du Wei had been prepared for a long time and asked AI Lu to recite her lines. When AI Lu heard the words, she immediately said, ”Wu ya, the white robed master, died in giliat city. The wizard king is very dissatisfied. This is the younger martial brother of Wu Ya wizard. He is also a senior member of the preparatory room. He has great power. This time I came to the northwest, I relied on his help all the way. ”
”Yes, yes! It's the elder of the preparatory office! ” Hamuye nodded, but did not dare to ask Duwei's name again.
Dewey stood with his hands down and looked away with his face raised. He can't speak the language on the grassland. He can only pretend to be dumb all the time and make a proud appearance, but there is no flaw.
Then hamuye pondered for a while, and said: ”I don't know the decree of the Witch King, I can't offend the tulip Duke... Then...”
”Hum!” AI Lu deliberately made a fool of herself and said angrily, ”Han moye, do you dare to doubt my teacher's decree?”
”Dare not, dare not!” Hamuye hung his head like a chicken pecking rice. Just a face of bitterness: ”Loran people's conditions are very harsh...”
”Hamuye.” AI Lu said in a deep voice: ”you know, my teacher lost a very important pet before the decree of the Witch King came down! The pet is of great importance. Now it has been confirmed that it is in the hands of Roland people, mostly in the hands of the tulip Duke! That pet is related to my teacher's mana cultivation. It's very important! If the tulip Duke gets angry, he will kill the pet in a rage... Hum. My teacher's pet, heaven and earth, is just like this one. If it's gone, are you responsible for finding another one for me? ”
Hamuye was even more afraid!
Good boy! White River, the king of witchcraft, worries about the magic power and the spirit, which is his position on the grassland! Close to the existence of gods! It's related to the mana cultivation of the grassland God. No wonder the wizard king was angry and issued a decree!
