Section 349 New suitors
"Yes." Hirohiro did not deny: "I can't take out enough supplies to pay for the horses, but I have to get those war horses."
Tianhao felt it was incredible. He stared at Ying Guanghai for three seconds: "You'd better give me a sufficient reason."
Subtext: Otherwise I will throw you out of this room!
"I am in a critical period of competing for the throne." Ying Guanghai did not hide it: "The Tiger people have always refused to trade war horses, and five hundred stallions is a huge fortune. With this, I can rely on my two brothers who have been in the front, gain the support of most people, and become the only heir to the throne designated by my father."
Tianhao quickly replayed various information about the Eagle clan in his mind, and Pingjun collected the news about this. Ying Guanghai's arrival was indeed very sudden. His appetite and attitude towards power surprised Tianhao. He could not be said to be unreasonable, nor could he be said to be a rogue. He did have the capital to rely on.
"Five hundred horses... formed an alliance..." Tianhao returned to his calmness. He gently held the left knuckle with his right hand: "You gave me a very complicated multiple-choice question."
Ying Guanghai spoke very quickly: "If the two previous proposals bother you, then I think you'd better listen to my third request first and then make a decision."
Tianhao ignored this: "You really surprised me. Actually, I regret it. If I refused to see you at the beginning, there wouldn't be so many complicated problems now... Well, let's talk about your third request, it's best to bring me some surprises."
"I want to marry your sister." Ying Guanghai said bluntly: "I know she is already an adult and is familiar with her situation. With this marriage as the basis, you should no longer have doubts about me. We can cooperate well and help each other."
Marry?
Tianhao's sister Tianshuang appeared in his mind.
Even he himself found it funny. The black and thin little girl in the past has now become the partner of many men who are rushing to marry. Moreover, these guys have better backgrounds and more famous names than the other.
His eyes turned back to Ying Guanghai again, and Tian Hao said calmly: "You are indeed very scheming. The three requirements are connected together and connected."
Ying Hirohiro's smile was very sure: "We can be friends, the kind of close relationships."
Tianhao was particularly sensitive to the word "friend". He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and raised his head: "I can't give you an answer now, let me think about it for a few days."
It’s not that Tianhao has a good impression of Ying Guanghai, but that he thinks this person can be used. There are very few people who take the initiative to come to make such requests, and they are also princes of the big clan.
The last similar "collaborator" was Lu Qingxi. His identity at that time was much lower than Ying Guanghai, but the prince of the Mudharth tribe had nothing to do with the royal family of the Lu clan.
Things began to become interesting, and Tianshuang had another prince in her suitor. In fact, Tianhao was very optimistic about Niu Weifang, but one more competitor would definitely cause some variables in things. Moreover, Tianhao did not restrict the love between men and women, nor did he have secular ideas.
The concern for the sister should be based on the actual situation. If the purpose of controlling the Eagle clan can be achieved through marriage, Tianhao feels that he can try to let Tianshuang accept Ying Guanghai.
After all, Niu Weifang's identity is not very suitable for Tianhao. The three tribes of Crazy Niu, Wild Bison, and Lei Niu, plus the national master Wu Peng, he can win steadily at the New King's election ceremony a few months later. If everything goes well, Tianhao can become the Regent.
If Tianshuang really falls in love with Niu Weifang, the situation will become more difficult. With the increasingly powerful strength of the Niu Department, Tianhao will definitely undermine Niu Fang. With Tianshuang's personality, she will definitely not object, but she will definitely not be happy in the future.
In short, nothing is determined now, and Tianhao will support him no matter what choice Tianshuang makes.
Ying Guanghai was very open-minded: "It's understandable. Anyway, I have nothing to do during this period, so I'll visit Leijiao City and wait for your news."
...
In fact, whether it is alliance or rejection, it doesn't seem important to Tianhao.
The Eagle tribe is a large tribe with the same status as the Deer tribe, with a total population of about 1.5 million. They do not have exclusive technology, but they have the most powerful archer legion in the north.
Many years ago, the Eagle clan hired a large number of pig people, and used a combination of heavy infantry and archers to defeat the Lion clan step by step. If the Lion King had not obtained support from the Tiger clan by ceding the territory and crushed the Eagle clan's archers with high cavalry power, it was hard to say which one was stronger or who was weaker.
The Pig Clan has always been the barrier of the Eagle Clan, and this balance was broken by the appearance of Tianhao. What's even more excessive is that Tianhao actually swallowed up the entire Pig Clan, making it impossible for the Eagle Clan to replicate the previous tactics.
Tianhao could not judge the true intention of Ying Guanghai. Is it the intention of the Eagle King himself? Or is it really just for the sake of alliance and then gain help and gain an advantage in the battle for the throne?
If the instruction comes from the Eagle King, Tianhao must give a higher increase.
If he was a mere prince, although he was also interested in stabbing it, there would not be so many chips on the table for viewing.
More importantly, Ying Guanghai and Lu Qingxi are very different. This is a guy who is very confident and has a strong control and awareness of most problems. He is very smart, not as unsightly as Lu Qingxi and is difficult to control. He cannot be oppressed by just one or two sentences and forced to submit.
Making him stronger is very likely to create an enemy in advance.
Tianhao issued an emergency order to Pingjun, and he needed more information from the Eagle clan for his own judgment.
...
The day's course ended, Tianshuang left the classroom and walked towards the special residence arranged in Lei Point City.
A tall and thin middle-aged man blocked his way.
"Hello." He smiled, but did not hide his arrogance on the surface: "My name is Ying Guanghai, and I am the prince of the Eagle clan."
Tianshuang stood still. She subconsciously looked around and found that the guard arranged by Tianhao was standing on the side. She immediately calmed down and asked in confusion: "Is there anything you have to do?"
"I am the prince of the Eagle clan." Eagle Hirokai repeated what he said before and continued: "I want to invite you to dinner."
Tianshuang frowned and asked, "Did my brother arrange it?"
She has an unparalleled admiration for Tianhao, and she had previously had examples from Niu Weifang, so it is not surprising that she has similar ideas about Ying Guanghai.
Tianshuang is not against having dinner with strangers, after all, this is Leijiao City and it is very safe.
"Yes." Hirokai didn't think there was anything wrong with lying to a young girl. He smiled and turned sideways and made a "please" posture: "This is my honor."
Under Tianhao's management, a strong commercial atmosphere appeared in Leijiao City. The new monetary system was fully implemented, making stores sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. Among them, the largest store was Tianhao's investment behind it, which can be understood as a "state-owned enterprise" in the civilized era. At this stage, it is necessary to guide, and only by allowing more people to participate can a business environment that is more conducive to competition be formed.
Ying Guanghai was not very clear about the changes in Leijiao City. He ordered a few randomly according to the menu, but his concept and style of these dishes were blurred. It was not until he was served that he was really surprised and shocked.
The sliced fish is mixed with sauerkraut, and the peppers and enough oil is added to the rich aroma. Pick up a piece of fish with chopsticks and stuff it into your mouth. The smooth and tender taste spreads on the tip of the tongue, without any fishy smell. The deliciousness and strong fragrance spread in the mouth, and at the same time it jumps into the nostrils and rushes into the brain, stimulating the central nervous system to taste the strong temptation from the deliciousness.
The method of marinated venison is different from other places. The chef cuts the meat into thick slices, adds spices and dried peppers to the pot and stir-fry. When served, the temperature is just right and it won’t be hot in the mouth. The thick meat slices are moderately soft and hard, and it is very exciting to chew, which is better than the traditional roast or dry roasting method.
In the ancient civilization era, the Chinese learned to ferment meat sauce and fish sauce very early to obtain a special sour taste (such as fish sauce) that is very different from fruit acid flavors. However, meat proteins will produce a lot of miscellaneous calculations during the decomposition process, including amino acids, lactic acid, acetic acid, etc., which will make the sour taste and acidity stability impossible to be guaranteed.
The sour seasoning technology made from fermented grain crusts is simple. In fact, it is an inevitable choice for the crust process in order not to waste bran materials. Fresh fish and flour make buns, plus a little vinegar can turn simple food into delicious food, apply it between boring monochromes, enrich the gradient, and become a magical effect of a beautiful picture scroll.
Fried rice is a new way to eat under the guidance of Tianhao. It’s not that barbarians don’t know how to stir-fry rice, but they rarely used to make them back into the pan and stir-fry them. Just fill their stomachs. Soaking the cold rice in hot water and sprinkling a little salt is a delicious thing for hungry people... They never thought about adding fat and eggs to stir-fry over high heat, plus chopped shrimp, green tender green onions, fresh chili or tomatoes, and when they are about to be out of the pot, they will simmer until concentrated fish soup or broth. The rice grains on the plate are crystal clear, wrapped in golden egg liquid, and they are chewy in their mouths and fragrant.
Ying Guanghai does not have much desire for food, and his request is very simple, just eat enough.
A visionary and outstanding man will never be bound by the tiny details, nor will he be trapped in material temptations. Because of this, Ying Guanghai doesn't care much about Tianshuang's appearance. Before coming to Leijiao City, he learned about this girl in detail, and knew that she was ugly and her thin waist was difficult to raise at a glance. Although her breasts and buttocks were quite perky, they did not have the beauty recognized by the northern barbarians.
Having dinner together is just a way to enhance relationships with each other. It is not so much a pursuit, but Ying Guanghai never expected that the food served in the Leijiao City restaurant would be so delicious, no matter fish, meat, vegetables, and staple food... it was beyond imagination, and it was far from as monotonous as he thought.
It's so delicious!
He quickly chewed on a piece of fish that had just been stuffed into his mouth. Before he could swallow it, he picked up a piece of meat. The fat mixed with the food in his mouth, and it was full of happiness.
"These dishes are really good... well...you eat more." He found that he was a little out of control and hurriedly greeted Tianshuang. His hurrying movements looked a little confused. The girl felt very funny in her eyes, so she couldn't help but raise her hand to cover her mouth and smiled "eat" with her.
The dining table blocked Tianshuang's body, and only the part above her elbows were visible. The weather was very hot, and she was wearing a light cotton short-sleeved shirt with a light collar open, revealing a bright red fabric, and a string tied from both sides of her shoulders to the back of her neck.
Ying Guanghai knew that the clothes worn inside were called "belly bands", and there seemed to be another name called "cover". The tribal characteristics of the northern barbarians who have been passed down for thousands of years have determined that men and women have a great difference, especially in front of men, women are almost impossible for women to have any secrets, including clothing.
Regarding underwear, the barbarians of this era will not have many taboos for men and women like in the civilized era. Especially for women who have been married or have such relationships with men, they do not mind the eyes of the opposite sex when taking a bath, changing clothes, and undressing. Tianhao has always wanted to change this situation, but unfortunately the effect is very little. He can only smile bitterly at it and wait silently for time and civilization to change these barbaric guys.
The bellyband and "What kind of cover" are new clothes for Lei Niu. The Eagle tribe and the Cow tribe are bordered by caravans, and there are caravans between the two tribes. Ying Guanghai saw this kind of clothes worn in it half a year ago. He could tell the difference between the two and knew that the former was a whole piece of cloth and a few fine cloth ropes. The biggest feature of the latter was that cotton cloth was wrapped in round hard materials, such as dry bamboo shoot shells, the inner bark of black needle pine, or shells that were too large to be controlled by their hands... In short, this thing is exclusive to women, but there are many fools in their territory who think that men can also wear it. They are very stubborn and think that this is a beautiful dress specially designed for men, which can make thin men look burly and highlight the expanded and strong chest muscles to the greatest extent.
Ying Guanghai was also confused about this, but he soon discovered that it was a joke. The answer to the real exploration of underwear was of course from the Niu people, especially after coming to Leijiao City, he saw with his own eyes that only women wear bellybands and "what covers".
Tianshuang was well developed, and the dining table blocked her slender waist. Ying Guanghai could only see a strange thinking on the upper part of her amazing body. He suddenly felt that she was not as ugly as she looked on the surface, at least her face was beautiful, and her breasts were also in line with the popular aesthetic.
