Chapter 149: The first time I saw a boy with curly hair, I was just curious
Tuoba only sat in the lower seat, and the people around him sat in the back row.
The boy sitting at the back lowered his head.
Chu Ling noticed the eye-catching red at first sight, and a teasing flashed in his eyes, "Tuoba Zhi, this is a serious place. Are you bringing some slutty bitch here to seduce our soldiers?"
"Hahaha, General Chu, you are joking. He is my youngest brother, who just turned sixteen and is not married yet. If you like him, you can take him home and let him be a bed warmer."
Tuoba only smiled flatteringly, with a relaxed tone containing contempt, which was a disdain for his own brother. He treated him completely as an object, keeping him if he liked him and throwing him away if he didn't.
The face of the enchanting young man in red gauze was pale under the veil.
Chu Ling smiled wryly as he carefully sized up the young man, looking at his stiff sitting posture, his charming eyes filled with water, and his timid gaze at the food on the table, not daring to look up.
In a country where women are respected, men have a low status. Among the barbarians, men's status is even lower, and their only value is reproduction.
This young man is like an object held out by a shop owner for people to admire. If someone likes him, they can buy him.
Chu Ling would not accept him. He was a seductive and evil person, and keeping him around would show that he had bad intentions.
She would not feel sorry for the man's life or death.
What's more, these are people from the Changshi tribe. The Changshi tribe has killed countless people from the Xiyan Kingdom in the past two years.
Chu Ling's eyes flashed with disgust, and he pretended to joke: "It just so happens that we are still in need of a military prostitute..."
Tuoba Zhi's face changed. This was simply a naked insult, trampling on their face!
"He, he is my younger brother, and the little prince of the Changshi tribe..."
Before Tuoba Zhi could finish his words, Chu Ling interrupted him, her tone impatient: "Tsk! You are the defeated party, what qualifications do you have to bargain with me?"
"Our original intention is to marry the most distinguished man in our tribe to you. If you give us protection, we will pay tribute of 200,000 sheep and 90 million taels of gold to Xiyan Kingdom every year."
Tuoba Zhi personally went over with a piece of parchment.
Chu Ling took a look and put the paper on the table.
Huangfu Yuesheng lowered his eyes, reached out to take it, looked at it carefully, and gave Chu Ling a look.
Chu Ling understood, lowered her head and leaned forward, she said in a voice that both of them could hear: "Don't listen to them, just follow what I said in the contract I gave you, there is a loophole in their paper."
Chu Ling nodded.
Tuoba Zhi's gaze shifted from Chu Ling to the girl in a white dress. This person should be the second princess of Xiyan Kingdom, Huangfu Yuesheng.
She was indeed as cold and beautiful as the rumors said, with a natural aura of nobility in her bones. She glanced at me nonchalantly with a cold look, with the arrogance of a superior.
It was this man who came up with the idea for their Changshi tribe to be defeated this time, and it was also this man who killed her mother!
Tuoba hides murderous intent beneath his humble and dignified appearance!
As long as she gets rid of this man, Chu Ling will be her culprit!
Chu Ling asked someone to bring a stack of books to Tuoba Zhi, "I have sent a letter to the Queen. Your Changshi tribe is now a vassal state of Xiyan State. You must abide by the rules of Xiyan State in the future. If you don't, you will die. We will open the cities in Beimo for you to do business and live. In short, you now belong to Xiyan State, and all your actions must abide by the national regulations of Xiyan State."
Tuoba just flipped open the thick booklet, his face uglier than his own mother's death, "We have all begged for mercy, why should we listen to your control? The Changshi tribe does not want to be attached to any country. My people do not agree, and neither do I!"
"There's a saying that goes, 'The winner is the king, the loser is the bandit.'" Chu Ling said in a serious tone, "I am negotiating with you in a friendly manner now. If you don't comply, no one is allowed to leave here today."
The Changshi tribe is now severely damaged and has no energy to fight a second war.
Tuoba's face turned pale and blue.
Chu Ling saw her confidant talking to her for a while.
"Okay, I'll sign it!" Tuoba said.
Chu Ling took out two more copies of the booklet and said, "These two copies are the same as the one you have in your hand. Just sign and stamp your fingerprints on them."
Tuoba just sneered in his heart, hypocritical Xiyan people!
Seeing that the matter was settled, Huangfu Yuesheng's cold brows relaxed. He picked up the cooled tea on the table and took a sip.
Chu Ling turned sideways and spoke to her, "Thanks to your advice, I mentioned your name in the letter to the Queen. It won't be long before we can return to the capital together."
"Really?" Huangfu Yuesheng seemed unconvinced.
"Really, you will definitely be able to return to the capital!"
"The Queen Mother doesn't like me. I don't think she will let me go back. After all, there is a national teacher here."
Chu Ling sneered and said, "I don't believe the nonsense of that useless Imperial Master. He can fool the Empress, but I won't be fooled. If you are not a disaster, how can you destroy the fate of the country?! Huangfu Yuesheng, you are a good omen, a purple star from heaven! Do you know that?"
The woman's eyes were as black as obsidian, sparkling and her eyes were sincere and pure.
Huangfu Yuesheng smiled, his red lips curled into a slight curve, like a spring breeze.
Chu Ling's eyes were dull for a moment, but he quickly reacted and picked up the wine glass on the table, "Come on, clink glasses!"
Huangfu Yuesheng also picked up his teacup and said, "Let's drink tea instead of wine. Cheers!"
Chu Ling clinked glasses with her, then smiled and said to the people of the Changshi tribe below: "Cheers!"
Tuoba just smiled, which was uglier than crying. He raised the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Mudd!
It’s so frustrating!
Even after being ripped off, you still have to smile!
Tuoba only winked at the boy sitting behind him, and then said to Chu Ling: "My brother, Prince Qingya, has prepared a dance for General Chu and the Second Princess. I hope you two like it."
It was then that Huangfu Yuesheng noticed the charming young man in strange red clothes. He had black curly hair braided into many thin braids and many golden bells hung in his hair, which shone brilliantly under the sunlight.
Chu Ling noticed that she was looking at the alien boy, and lowered his voice and asked, "Do you like it?"
"It's the first time I see a boy with curly hair, and I'm just curious." Huangfu Yuesheng looked away.
"I thought you were interested in him. If you like him, you can take him home to be a bed warmer. You don't have many men around you anyway..."
"No blessing to endure."
Huangfu Yuesheng looked up at the cloudless sky. The weather was pretty good today, suitable for going out.
The young man who was named by Tuoba stood up quickly and confidently and walked to the open space in the middle. People on both sides could see him clearly.
Tuoba Xian raised his charming eyes and looked at the two women in the main seat. His gaze fell on the girl in white. He stayed there for just a moment and quickly looked away.
