Only then did King Weitou realize that the King Wusun who was tied up in front of him was most likely not a fake, but the real one.
The people of Zhao could ridicule him arbitrarily and even kidnap King Wusun, but King Weitou did not dare to do this.
Wusun is a nearby big country, and it can destroy Weitou with a snap of the finger, which is not something Weitou can offend.
However, Weitou also did not dare to offend Zhao State. It might take a lot of effort to destroy Wusun Zhao State. To destroy Weitou, only hundreds of people in front of him were enough.
"Sir..." King Wusun ignored King Weitou and looked at Mao Sui to please him.
"Let it go." Mao Sui waved his hand and said.
"Thank you sir, thank you sir." King Wusun leaned down and saluted repeatedly. Thanks to his martial arts skills, otherwise he would have been hungry for so long and would not have the energy to salute.
"Let him go, or else he should be killed. Who knows if he will lead an army to attack us after he returns." Lian An said unhappily.
"No, no. I promise not. I'm grateful to you all. How could I send troops to attack before it's too late?" King Wusun said quickly and was about to write a letter of guarantee.
Lord Weitou opened his mouth wide and stared at this scene in a daze.
It turned out that the King of Wusun whom he looked up to, the King of Wusun who was aloof, and the King of Wusun who looked down upon him was actually so humble in front of others.
"We Zhao people are loyal. Since we promised to release them, we must release them." Mao Sui looked at King Wusun and said coldly, "If King Wusun plans to lead an army to attack us after returning, huh, then
This time it’s not as simple as capturing a king.”
"Xiao Wang remembers it." King Wusun kept nodding.
"You go back." Mao Sui waved his hand and said.
"Thank you sir." King Wusun pulled off the rope on his body, looked at Mao Sui deeply, turned and left.
"Your Majesty." As soon as King Wusun left the city, Prime Minister Wusun and Dalu came to greet him from a distance. They knelt on the ground with a bang and said, "The incompetence of my ministers has made your Majesty suffer."
"It's not your fault, it's my incompetence!" King Wusun took one last look at Weitou City, and then slowly turned around.
A feeling of grief, anger, and humiliation instantly surged into my heart, filling my whole body.
This was the first time in so many years that he was so groveling in front of others. The other person was just the person in charge of a country's caravan, an insignificant person, but he could humiliate him like this.
There has never been a moment when King Wusun's desire for power reached this level.
If he has the wisdom of the Zhao people, if he has strong military force, if Wusun is a big country with a population of millions, if Wusun has tens of thousands of armored men, if Wusun can also have elite soldiers like Zhao
…
Is it someone else who is unwilling to suffer humiliation?
"This incident has taught me two things. The first is that you should never look down on anyone, even if the other party does not seem to be a threat. The second is that nothing is as important as strength, especially for a country.
." King Wusun looked at the people kneeling in front of him and said slowly.
"Your Majesty." Wusun Xiang suddenly felt that King Wusun in front of him seemed to be a little different.
"Go back to the country and start from tomorrow to suppress the bandits with all your strength. We will not allow any uncontrolled forces to appear in our Wusun territory." King Wusun got on his horse and ran towards the Wusun country in large strides.
"Your Majesty..." Lord Weitou looked at Mao Sui.
"Sorry to disturb the monarch. The monarch will prepare a place for us to live. We will leave tomorrow. If possible, prepare some food. Not too much. We will bring our own food. This is a small gift to the monarch." Mao Sui got out of the car.
He took off a piece of silk and handed it to Lord Weitou.
He didn't dare to let the Weitou Kingdom be responsible for everyone's food. The Weitou Kingdom only had a population of more than 2,000, and hundreds of Zhao people combined could eat Weitou in one meal and destroy the country.
Seeing the silk, King Weitou's eyes were instantly attracted. He wanted to reject it, but he couldn't bear it.
"Your Majesty, just accept it." Mao Sui could see the thoughts of Lord Weitou at a glance and said with a smile.
"Then it's better for me to be respectful than to obey my orders, little king." King Weitou said, his favorability towards Mao Sui greatly increased, "Come, please free up the west part of the city for the envoys to live, and prepare some food."
"How far is it from Dawan?" After settling in, Mao Sui called the guide over and asked.
"If we walk one day further, we will reach the territory of Dawan. However, it will take about a month and a half to reach Guishan City, the capital of Dawan," the guide said.
"Tell me about the situation in Dawan and what should be paid attention to," Mao Sui said.
"There are about 300,000 people in Dawan who live in pursuit of water and grass. They are good at raising horses. They have good horses that can travel thousands of miles, but they are not easy to give to others. In addition, everyone in Dawan is good at using grapes to make wine.
"Every household has a bottle of wine, which will last for decades," the guide said.
"Can you really travel a thousand miles in a day?" Mao Sui didn't believe it.
There are many horses in the Central Plains that are said to be capable of traveling thousands of miles a day, but this is an exaggeration. There are very few horses that can truly travel thousands of miles a day, and it can even be said that there are almost none.
"It's really good. The young one is from Dawan." The guide patted his chest and said with great confidence.
"It shouldn't be a problem in exchange for a small number of war horses," Mao Sui said.
"It should be possible. Last year, there was a group of businessmen from the East like you, who called themselves Qin people. Your Majesty gave them a pair of blood horses. If the boss wants it, the younger one can help buy some through connections, but the younger one is stronger.
It’s limited, the quantity won’t be too much,” the guide said.
"Qin people!" Mao Sui and Lian An looked at each other and saw the alertness in each other's eyes.
"That is our brother country of Zhao." Mao Sui laughed and said, "Are they still in Dayuan?"
"We left a long time ago," the guide said.
"Where's Kangju?"
"Kangju is further away. Kangju is in the northwest of Dawan," the guide said.
"Then let's go to Dawan first." Mao Sui said.
"If the owner wants to sell this batch of goods at a better price, I suggest selling them to the west of Dawan. The people there are good at doing business and the commerce is prosperous. It is completely different from the east of Dawan." The guide said.
"Okay, I listen to you. If I can sell it at a good price, your reward will be indispensable." Mao Sui said with a smile.
"Can you please choose a reward for me?" the Dawan guide leaned over and asked, with a flattering smile on his face.
"You said, as long as it's within a reasonable range," Mao Sui said.
"The young one wants to join the Zhao Kingdom." the guide said.
"Join the State of Zhao?" Mao Sui was a little surprised, but nodded, "You are very welcome to join the State of Zhao. We, the State of Zhao, need talents like you."
Mao Sui took out a household registration from the car and said, "This is the household registration of my Zhao country. Please tell me your name, age, and place of residence, and I will fill it in for you. From now on, you will be a native of Zhao."
"Name: Qian. Age. My parents died early and I have forgotten my age. Just fill in thirty-five years old. Place of residence, um, Dawan." Dawan guide said.
Soon, the household registration was filled out and Mao Sui handed it to Qian.
Qian solemnly placed it in her clothes, close to her chest.
