Legendary star: Signed to the Palace at the beginning

Chapter 144 Negotiations
Dugu Luo, as a representative of the Ministry of Rites of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and Xiao Chuan, as an accompanying official, received Chief Manchu in the newly built residence outside the customs, and the host and guest had a friendly conversation.

The chief is about 40 years old, with a burly body and thick knuckles. Due to years of fishing and hunting, his skin is very rough. Half of the hair on his head is shaved off, revealing his thin scalp, and he wears a shiny braid.

A muscular young man of eighteen or nineteen followed behind the chief.

Chief Manchu introduced: "My lord Dugu, my lord, this is the Batulu Tudiji from the end of our Mohesu, and he is the deputy envoy."

Tu Diji knelt down on one knee and said, "Tu Diji has met Lord Dugu, Sir."

Dugu Luo said with a smile: "Warriors please."

Xiao Chuan also smiled and stretched out his hand to help him. Unexpectedly, Tu Diji grabbed Xiao Chuan's hand and stood up.

"Young man, do you want to give me a kick first?"

Feeling a burst of force from his hands, Xiao Chuan immediately activated his evil physique.

"Ah!" Tudiji, who was complacent, suddenly felt that his tender hand had turned into a vice, and a burst of severe pain came.

"Sorry, too much force!"

Xiao Chuan saw the sudden pain profusely sweating, and let go of his palm.

"My lord has great strength!"

Tu Diji praised while rubbing his red and deformed hands.

Chief Mochu hurriedly apologized: "Tudiji is young and unreasonable, and I hope the Lord will forgive me."

Xiao Chuan smiled and said, "It's a good thing for young people to be competitive, and it's fine."

The four drank in the newly built house.

In the same wine jar, Duguluo and Xiao Chuan were presented with fermented glutinous rice wine, while Chief Haochu and Tudiji were presented with spirits mixed with alcohol.

Without knowing the details, he poured a full bowl of alcohol and drank it with his neck raised.

"Cough cough cough."

Manchu was choked up and coughed repeatedly, his face was red and his neck was thick.

Dugu Luo and Xiao Chuan looked at each other, they smiled knowingly, and said, "Chief Manchu, are you alright?"

Xiao Chuan also said: "Chief, this wine is called Mendaolu. If you are not used to drinking it, you can change it to fermented glutinous rice."

Man Chu coughed for a while, then he said: "Good wine, I have never drunk such a strong wine, how can I replace the sour water! Come, come, let's have another bowl."

After finishing speaking, he poured another bowl of alcohol, clinked glasses with Dugu Luo and Xiao Chuan, and drank it all down in one gulp.

This time I was mentally prepared and didn't get choked.

Xiao Chuan thought to himself: "Old boy, can alcohol be less strong if you mix it with a little water?"

Drinking strong wine and eating stewed mutton, I just feel dizzy, sweat profusely and feel comfortable all over.

Manchu said with emotion: "My lord Dugu, my lord, the Central Plains is really full of delicious food and wine."

Dugu Luo said: "Chief Tanchu, if you feel comfortable here, you can stay here for a few more days."

Concubine said: "Comfortable is comfortable, but the climate is too hot. We are cold in the north and cannot tolerate the heat. Now I am so hot that I can hardly breathe."

Can it not be hot? Drinking alcohol and stewing meat, Xiao Chuan ordered his subordinates to secretly burn the earth dragon fire wall of the house. In the scorching summer, even the gods can't bear it!

Dugu Luo said: "If Chief Manchu likes good wine, I'll give you some when you leave."

The chief said: "My lord, can you sell us some more spirits to keep out the cold?"

Without waiting for Dugu Luo to answer, Xiao Chuan said: "Yes, we can trade with Mohe in Dazhou. Not only can we sell your spirits, but we can also sell your silk, cloth, and various daily necessities."

Chief Manchu's eyes lit up, and he said, "Can you sell us the iron pot and iron pot?"

Xiao Chuan smiled and said, "Iron pots are not good, but I can sell you aluminum pots, aluminum pots, lead pots and ceramics."

Hearing this, Dugu Luo hurriedly kicked Xiao Chuan with his feet. Xiao Chuan waved his hand to Dugu Luo, meaning it was okay. Dugu Luo didn't understand, but he no longer objected.

Chief Manchu was overjoyed, he laughed and said: "Hahaha, the Sir is indeed a capable minister of His Majesty the Great Zhou Taishang, this trip is worthwhile for this chief."

Xiao Chuan said: "If the Mohe Sumobu is willing to treat me as the suzerain country, my Dazhou will not only allow trade with the Mohe Sumobu, but also send craftsmen to help build houses, so that every family in your tribe will have a house to live in, and the chieftain will also be allowed to trade with each other. Live in a palace bigger than this house."

The chief did not expect that this mission would go so smoothly. The good news came one after another. It seems that this handsome lord is really the youngest among the best and the worst. A lot of bastards, if you have advantages, don’t take advantage of the bastards. What kind of suzerain country is a subsidiary country?
Thinking of this, Chief Manchu raised his wine bowl and said, "Da Zhou is so benevolent to us, Mohe Sumobu. Manchu is very moved. From today, Mohesumobu is willing to regard Dazhou as the suzerain, and only Dazhou will follow suit."

Dugu Luo and Xiao Chuan also raised their wine bowls and said, "Da Zhou and Mo He Su Mo Bu have formed an alliance from now on, and they are each other's horns, drink and win!"

"Drink wins!"

The alliance was initially decided, and everyone was happy. The four of them mingled with each other and drank happily.

Xiao Chuan changed the topic and said, "Chief, I heard that Su Mobu presented two pairs of sea dongqings to His Majesty the emperor this time. I wonder if we can send a few to Lord Dugu?"

Chief Manchu smiled wryly and said: "Your Majesty, I don't know. Costin is an extremely rare eagle. There is only one Costin out of [-] eagles. Adult Costin weighs six kilograms and is about one meter tall. With wings spread over two meters long, it can fly extremely high and is an important helper in hunting, capable of attacking swans, chickens and rabbits."

Xiao Chuan said: "What kinds of Costin are there?"

Chief Manchu said: "Haitongqing can be divided into autumn yellow, wave yellow, three-year dragon, and jade claws. Pure white, sky blue, brilliant gold, pure black, and jade claws are the top grades. Among them, pure white jade claws are the most precious. Swans eat pearls and mussels, and hide the pearls in crops after eating mussels. We Mohe people train Haidongqing to catch swans and get pearls."

Chief Mochu took a sip of wine, and then said: "Haitongqing eats a lot, and has a strong ability to withstand hunger. Once you are full, you can go without food for 20 days. Because Haidongqing is too fierce and intelligent, he has the 'War of Eagles'. The title of "God" is the messenger of Abu Kahehe, the mother of the highest god of our Sushen culture, the existence closest to God, and the people chosen by God. The highest totem of our Mohe is a burning huge light, fire and heat, waving The image of the eagle god Hai Dongqing with huge wings, never resting, and always flying in anger."

Dugu Luo became interested when he heard this, and said, "It's hard to catch Haidongqing, isn't it?"

Chief Mochu said: "His Royal Highness King Jin is right. When Hai Dongqing was captured, the Mohe people first built a '∏'-shaped bracket with three stones on the sunny side of the hillside, which symbolized the Golden Tower Temple in the Nine Heavens of the Eagle God. , put a rock in it, which represents the holy mountain where the eagle god lives. Then grass is planted for incense, and after offering sacrifices with wine, a net is set up to catch eagles. The net is 3 meters long and 1 meter wide, and a pigeon or dead chicken is tied on the net as bait , Eagle catchers hide in shacks camouflaged with branches, waiting for the arrival of eagles. Sometimes, eagle catchers have to squat for dozens of days, which is called "squatting eagle". The eagle circles down from a high altitude, catches the bait, and catches the net Captured, the eagle catcher wants to thank the eagle god Gege."
