The King of Skull Mountain is also the original King of Thousand Mud People. The construction of Thousand Mud City can be traced back to three hundred years ago. When Da Qin was still a vassal of the Zhou Dynasty, Thousand Mud People lived here. Luo Luohe, with abundant water
It nourished the earth and fed the Thousand Clay People for more than three hundred years, until a horse thief suddenly appeared, breaking the source of the Thousand Clay People's anger and sending the Thousand Clay People into hell.
The rule of the people in the Western Regions basically starts with horse thieves. When the horse thieves grow stronger, they will rule a city and then become the city lord. When the city lord of a city can control a land with a radius of hundreds of miles, he will naturally become the king. Of course,
As a horse thief, it is easy to conquer the world, but it is not so easy to dominate the world. Therefore, the countries in the Western Regions are always like those sand dunes, constantly appearing and disappearing. After so many years of back and forth, no country can grow stronger.
Development. The countries in the Western Regions derived from this never thought about how to govern internally. They always liked to exploit a group of people and then move to another place to continue their exploits.
The leader of the Thousand Clay People turned out to be a woman, and she was also a very beautiful woman. Although she wore a veil on her face, it could not hide his stunning face and exquisite figure. Genoa looked greedily at Su Ren and the people around him.
Extremely angry, his hand was already on the handle of the knife, but the queen did not give orders, so he could only vent his anger with anger.
Su Ren swallowed his saliva. For people like him, no matter how beautiful a woman is, he has seen it. Although he has never had such close contact, she is still much better than the two fools behind him. He lowered his head and poured a cup of tea for the Queen.
, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation: "Please try it. This is the best drink for us big men. Compared with milk tea, butter tea is very different. I hope Her Majesty the Queen will like it."
Drinking tea with a veil is always in the way. The Queen naturally has to lift the veil to expose her chin and small mouth. Such a small gesture has already made many people suffocate. After taking a sip, the Queen was like a silver bell.
The voice said: "It turns out that you Han people drink tea this way, and it does have a different flavor! However, I am here to discuss important matters. No matter how good the taste of this tea is, it will only taste like this when I drink it! Genoa said, General Su
Are you ready to help us restore our country?"
Su Ren looked at the queen and nodded: "Exactly, is the queen willing?"
"Tell me about your conditions? As long as we can accept it, let's continue talking!"
Su Ren smiled: "She is indeed the queen. In this case, I will make it clear that Yumen City was seen by this general for the purpose of facilitating trade between the Western Regions and Han merchants. Now that Yumen has been completed, whether it is the Qiang people or the Huns
, even you people from the Western Regions can't break it, but we Han people have a saying that let others sleep soundly on the side of the bed, so I hope that Her Majesty the Queen can make peace with me, the Han Dynasty, after the restoration of the country. Isn't this too much?"
The Queen thought for a while and nodded slightly: "It's not too much!"
"The establishment of Yumen City is also good for you Qianni people. Because of the Shanshan Kingdom, Qianni people cannot leave Skull Mountain, otherwise they will be killed. No matter who is in my general's Yumen City, as long as they have no malicious intent, they can
After entering, you can also exchange items with the merchants inside, including you Qianni people, which is definitely good news for you now."
Genoa's eyes had already heated up, and he had already completely forgotten about the guys in front of him who were drooling over the Queen. He was only interested in what Su Ren said. He knew very well the life of the Thousand Clay People, and the output of Skull Mountain could not feed the whole family.
Many people from the ethnic group risked their lives and walked out of Skull Mountain, but unfortunately too few people went back. If they could get replenishment from Yumen City, all it would take to restore the country would be time.
Su Ren saw Genoa's reaction and continued: "Since we are helping you regain your country, we will naturally pay something. Of course, it is just items, not including soldiers. If you need anything, you can ask for it. I will definitely give it on credit at my discretion."
You guys, what you use to return it is a matter for you and the merchants to discuss. Such terms are already very generous, is Her Majesty the Queen willing?"
The queen remained silent and sat quietly, listening to Su Ren's words completely. Suddenly the queen smiled: "I also know the name and ability of General Su, whether he is a Shanshan person or a former Han, or even
The Huns and Qiang people are being manipulated by the general. I am a little worried. Once we leave Skull Mountain, I am afraid that we will become the path opener for the general to attack Shanshan. By then, we will both lose. General Su only needs to send three to five hundred
People can catch Shanshan in their hands, I wonder if what I said is right?"
Su Ren smiled and did not refute: "What Her Royal Highness the Queen said makes sense, but there is one thing she said wrong. There is no need to wait for Her Royal Highness the Queen and Shanshan Kingdom to fight to the death. My five hundred men can already control Shanshan Kingdom. This is the Queen's point.
Your Highness should know better."
"In that case, why is the general looking for us?"
Su Rendao: "The affairs of the Western Regions still have to be handled by the people of the Western Regions. No matter how we control Shanshan, it is not a long-term solution. As long as the queen promises to make peace with the Han Dynasty for generations, even if my Han army comes to the Western Regions in the future, your Qianni Kingdom will definitely be safe and sound.
This is my general’s promise and the prerequisite for our cooperation! If Her Royal Highness the Queen is not willing, my general will never force it. It won’t take too long. Han soldiers will definitely appear here in three to five years. By then, no matter who is Shanshan,
You are still Qian Mu. As long as you don't surrender, you are an enemy. Even if you break into the desert, don't even think about coming out again."
"You..." Genoa choked and drew out his scimitar and pointed it at Su Ren: "How brave are you to threaten the queen? Believe it or not, I can kill you all right now!"
Su Ren smiled: "You can try! Today is not that day. I guarantee that you will be the first to die before your scimitar reaches me!"
With a roar, thirty or fifty archers carrying crossbows appeared around the Tushan where they were speaking. All the crossbows were strung up, and they were all aimed at Genoa and their queen. As long as Genoa made any move, they would immediately turn into hedgehogs.
Such a close distance, so many arrows, no matter how powerful Genoa's force is, they can't escape.
The Queen waved Genoa back and looked at Su Ren: "If I don't agree, will I be unable to leave here?"
Su Ren laughed: "I am a man of courtesy and will never do anything to kill people. As long as your subordinate does not act recklessly, I guarantee with my head that I will never embarrass you. I have finished what I said just now. No answer.
I promise you, Your Highness, don't worry, it's still early, you two can stay and try my big man's food, it will definitely be better than the food of you people from the Western Regions."
The atmosphere suddenly solidified. Genoa stood vigilantly beside the queen with a scimitar in hand. His confidence had been completely shattered. If Su Ren really wanted to kill them, it would be effortless. Now he just asked the lunatic opposite him not to act recklessly and wait for him.
If you escort the queen back, you will definitely find a way to kill this guy.
Su Ren's tea-making skills are not good, and he is not as quick as Man Niu. But now Man Niu and Huang Shisan are also on guard, fearing that Genoa will come, and Su Ren will have to do the tea cooking himself. According to the tea classics, a cup
The process required to make good tea is not the least complicated. Su Ren's three or two were not up to the standard at all, but in the eyes of the queen, she was dazzled.
"General Su's method of cooking tea is very special. Is this how you Han people drink tea?"
Su Ren shook his head: "This is an exclusive property, but now more and more big men are drinking tea, and they all imitate me. Hey! If you don't pay me, you are really a bunch of thieves!"
The queen giggled, her voice was clear, and she rolled her eyes and looked at Su Ren: "Are there many big men like General Su? This place in the Western Regions is bitterly cold, and your emperor actually sent a talented person like the general here. It's really unbelievable.
It should be true that if I keep the general by my side and help me govern the place, our Qianni Kingdom will definitely become the most prosperous and prosperous country in the Western Region before long."
Su Rengong cupped his hands: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. Let's not mention Su's talents! There are so many talented people in the Han Dynasty. Su is just a moment among the stars in the sky. If he hadn't come to the Western Regions, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be a county magistrate. It's really not possible.
I dare to describe him as a great talent."
"Hey!" The Queen sighed, and after a while she said: "The matter of restoring the country will be as General Su said, but I have one more request. I hope Mr. Su can convey it to your Majesty the Emperor after he returns to Han Dynasty."
"Your Highness, please speak!"
"When the general comes with his army next time, I will abdicate. I hope the general can take me to Chang'an. Can you?"
"Why is this? The king does not do anything good, but he wants to abdicate?"
The queen smiled and did not answer Su Ren's words: "Please ask General Su to do this for you, thank you!" The queen stood up and even imitated the behavior of a Han woman and saluted Su Ren.
Su Ren didn't react for a while. When the Queen walked away with Genoa, Su Ren scratched his head and asked Han Qing: "What does this woman mean?"
Han Qing chuckled: "Looking at it from below, this queen might be attracted to you!"
"What? Nonsense!"
Old Wang shook his head and sighed. He looked at Han Qing and said nothing. Since the Qianni people agreed to fight against the Shanshan Kingdom, they could withdraw Wang Hui and Gou Tianming who stayed in Shanshan. The Qianni people were pestering the Shanshan Kingdom and the Shanshan Kingdom
There was absolutely no ability to pose a threat to Yumen. Su Ren wrote two letters on the spot, one was sent to Yumen and handed over to Zhang Qian, and the other was sent to Chang'an.
Things in the Western Region have only been completely resolved at this point, and no one can pose a threat to Yumen. The big forces have already taken care of it, and the small forces naturally have ways to deal with it. Su Ren did not go to Thousand Mud City, and waited for Wang Hui at Skull Mountain
After that, the large group of people turned around and headed east, preparing to return to Chang'an. Calculating the time, it has been two years since leaving the road. Since arriving in Dahan, they have been running around all day long, and the time spent with their relatives does not add up to that long. This is
I don't know how long I can rest once I go back, and I might be robbed on the way.
Thinking of this, Su Ren sat on his horse and sighed. (To be continued)
