A day later, a team dressed in strange clothes entered Chang 'an Fortress.
The moment this troop entered the city, it attracted the attention of a large number of people.
This group of people was dressed strangely, and their bodies were extremely burly. They looked extremely fierce, and it was obvious that they were not from the Central Plains.
And after this group of people entered the city, they were extremely impudent!
"Hahaha! This city of the Central Plains was really f * cking magnificent!”
"That's right. It's more practical than our tribe's tents!”
"These will all be ours in the future!”
……
The group of people laughed loudly and rampaged through the city. They did not look at the passers-by at all. Even if they saw them, they pretended not to see them. Relying on their burly figures, they rammed into them!
These actions made many people unhappy!
"What are you looking at? If you keep looking, I'll dig out your eyeballs and feed them to the cows!”
"You dare to glare at your grandfather? Try staring at me again!"
……
However, everyone saw that this group of barbarians was tall and held large knives. They could tell at a glance that they were not good people. No matter how angry they were, they could only swallow their anger and leave quickly with their heads lowered.
However, this only fueled the barbarians 'arrogance.
There were even quite a few barbarians who directly attacked the ladies on the streets.
"Ah!"
"What are you doing!"
"Let go! Barbarians! If you dare to make a move again, I'll report it to the authorities!”
……
The girls screamed and fled in panic.
This group of barbarians was extremely happy and laughed endlessly.
"Haha! The women from the Central Plains were not bad!”
"They have soft skin and tender flesh. They're petite. I really want to carry a few back and play with them!”
……
At this moment, the leader of the group, a burly man, said indifferently,""Control yourself a little. After all, this is not our territory. After this transaction is successful, I will get the little emperor of Tianwu Kingdom to give you as many women as you want!”
"Envoy, you have to agree. I want 500! Haha!"
"Me too! I want it too!"
"Hahaha! We'll take care of the woman!"
……
Everyone laughed and laughed arrogantly all the way until they arrived outside a huge mansion.
On the plaque of the mansion, the words "He Mansion" were written!
Kacha--
From time to time, the gate of the mansion would open.
He Rong, the Minister of Rites, was running out with a flattering smile. He did not look like a second-grade official at all. He smiled and said,
"The Turkic envoy Zarhar has come to visit. This official has been unable to welcome you, so please take a seat. This official has already prepared a banquet to welcome the envoy and all of you!”
This group was none other than the Turkic envoy.
Zarha nodded his head lightly and did not say anything. He led everyone into the mansion with an arrogant expression.
In the main hall of the mansion, He Rong waved his hand and ordered a group of servants to carry seven or eight large chests in. When they opened them, they saw that they were filled with gold, silver, and jewelry.
"Lord Zarhar, please accept this small token of respect from me!”He Rong smiled.
Upon seeing this, Zarhar's lips curled into a faint smile and he said in broken Chinese,""You are very good at doing things!"
Hearing this, He Rong shook his head and laughed in spite of himself, and said,"Lord Zarhar must be joking. Please take a seat. This lowly official has only just learned of your visit.”
"This time, the Khagan has sent this envoy to visit. It's actually not a big matter.”Zarhar smiled faintly.
He Rong's eyes lit up, thinking that if he could get close to the Eastern Turks, the Tianwu Kingdom would at least have nothing to worry about in the north!
Thus, He Rong smiled and said,"Lord Zarhar, this is simply wonderful!"”
"However, there are conditions!”Zarha said as he took out a piece of paper and placed it on the table.
He Rong opened the paper and saw that it was actually a contract.
The terms were very clear. The Tianwu Kingdom was under the protection of the Eastern Turks, and they had to offer up the twelve prefectures on the border. They had to pay a million two year coins a year, ten thousand bolts of cloth a year, and marry the princess!
This was simply a traitorous treaty of national humiliation. As long as they signed it, wouldn't they be bowing down to the Eastern Turks?
"Emissary, I'm afraid it's difficult to fulfill these requests!”He Rong said with a troubled expression.
Zarhar laughed disapprovingly.""Don't you know how powerful our Turkic Khaganate is? We formed an alliance with you to protect you. Do you want us to pay tribute to you? You will definitely pay the price!”
"Also, don't forget that this is the Khaganate showing you goodwill. If you refuse, it will be a great disrespect to the Khaganate. Do you want to anger the Khagan? I think that even your young emperor wouldn't dare to refuse, right?”Zarhar said confidently.
" This..." He Rong was a little embarrassed and said,""I can't make the decision for such a big matter!”
"I understand. You are just a Minister of Rites, but the Ministry of Rites is in charge of foreign affairs. You only need to stamp your seal on the terms and conditions. After entering court tomorrow, you just need to speak up for me. Your little Emperor doesn't know the details. As long as he nods and agrees, there is no room for change.”
Zarhar laughed confidently.
"But, this is a great crime for me!”He Rong said with a troubled expression.
Zarha smiled, stood up, and pushed all the boxes He Rong had sent over back to him.""This is a small token of my appreciation. After this matter is completed, the Khaganate will naturally guarantee you wealth and glory. You can even be the king of the Central Plains, above millions of people!”
Clang!
He Rong's little heart suddenly trembled. He was a little tempted!
Countless riches and glory were placed in front of him. His loyalty to the imperial power was crazily wavering.
Seeing this, Zarhar smiled contemptuously and said,""I heard along the way that your young emperor was investigating and killing corrupt officials. I think your gold, silver, and jewelry didn't come from a proper source, right? If your little Tian Zi finds out about this…Tsk tsk…"
Hearing that, He Rong's face immediately turned pale. In the past few days, this was what he was afraid of!
He looked at the gold, silver, and jewelry in front of him, then looked at the traitorous treaty in front of him. He gritted his teeth, took out his seal, and stamped it!
"Haha! Smart man! Smart man!"
Zarhar laughed at the sky.
He Rong also let out a sigh of relief and began to laugh. In his opinion, it didn't matter even if the matter was exposed. With the Eastern Turks as his guarantor, he would be able to become a formidable figure!
However, the two of them did not know that a servant of the He Residence outside the room had heard everything. Then, he slipped out of the residence and headed straight for the Imperial Palace.
"Who are you?"
The royal guard berated in a deep voice.
"A secret agent from the East Chamber has an important secret report.”
The servant took out the brand of the East Hall from his bosom and said in a deep voice.
Da da da--
At the same time, a fast horse galloped over and was forced to stop at the entrance of the palace!
He saw a eunuch dressed in the West Hall uniform fall from his horse, covered in blood. He tore off the label on his waist and shouted,"
"An urgent report from the 800-mile border of the West Hall. They urgently need to enter the palace to meet the Factory Duke!”
For a moment, the originally peaceful Chang 'an City was in turmoil!
