Chapter 262...The expectations of the archer Aliang.
The Western Tatar Kingdom came to the Dayu Dynasty to pay tribute, bringing with them more than a thousand cattle and sheep, as well as gems unique to the grassland, such as aquamarine and beeswax.
The new emperor Qilianbai sent the ceremonial officer Zhu Han to take the second prince of the Western Tatar Kingdom, Namtso, and the sixth princess, Daili, who came to marry, to stay in the inn in the western suburbs.
The spoiled Deli's true colors were revealed after she arrived at her residence. Her face was no longer the delicate and gentle one she pretended to be. There was a sinister and fierce light in Deli's beautiful eyes.
The maids filled the dining table with a sumptuous feast of fancy wooden platters of roasted meats and roasted suckling pig... kumis, crystal grapes, and large wine bowls.
Deli held a large piece of roast suckling pig's ribs in her hand, and she bit the translucent crispy bones with a "crunch, crunch" sound in her mouth. The crispy bone crumbs turned over in Deli's mouth and were swallowed by her before she could chew them.
Deli drank half a bowl of kumis in boredom. She didn't want to come here to propose marriage. Deli, who already had someone in her heart, liked her eldest cousin Tuo Lin. He was tall and handsome, and looked as brave, cool and handsome as a god who had descended to earth.
Deli had long heard in Western Tartar that the weak Dayu people could not even ride a horse, and they enjoyed a life of male dominance with three wives and four concubines.
In Deli's heart, she prefers the treatment of women being superior, but in the Western Tartar Kingdom, the king can generally have several concubines. If she, a princess, marries a prince consort, she can have several male servants in private.
Now that Deli has been sent to Dayu Dynasty by the king, it means that she will no longer have servants.
A quarter of an hour later, Deli threw away the knife she was using to cut meat. She was already eight-tenths full. The alcohol in Deli's stomach slowly rose, her cheeks flushed, and her eyes were blurred with drunkenness.
The tent door curtain rang, and a burly man came in. He was Deli's bodyguard named Kulun. Kulun, who was wearing a hero scarf on his head, had short curly black hair, rough facial features and wheat-colored skin.
"Princess, you are drunk, please stop drinking."
Cullen snatched the wine bowl that Deli was about to pour into her mouth, his heart full of heartache.
"Give me some wine..."
Deli yelled at Cullen with an angry face, her bloodshot eyes like a wounded little animal.
The corners of Cullen's lips twitched. He took the wine jug with one hand with an expressionless face. With the other hand, Cullen supported Adeli who was about to fall. He suddenly picked up Adeli and walked towards the bed.
Deli in Cullen's arms kicked and hit him non-stop, "Hiss..." The princess scratched a big cut on Cullen's face, and blood dripped down. The scar on Cullen's already rough face made him look even more wild and unruly.
In the yard not far next door, the second prince Namtso sat on a chair, drinking tea while listening to the secret guard's report on the investigation of the Dayu Dynasty. He squinted his eyes and looked at the bright crabapple tree opposite. The intricate and overlapping branches were intertwined and beautiful. Namtso suddenly thought of the bunny-like maid in the Western Tatar Palace. Her face was as beautiful as the crabapple flower in front of him.
Namtso, dressed in a luxurious blue and purple robe, looks graceful and domineering. The characters of grassland men are all like eagles soaring in the sky, loving freedom and being unruly.
Namtso's facial features are rather feminine, and his cold, pale face always looks indifferent and distant.
The attendant Aliang knew the second prince very well. He stood outside the house and looked around silently. Aliang was a famous archer in the tribe. He had heard in Western Tartar that many men in Dayu were not good at riding and shooting and only liked to sleep with women. Although a few generals had military courage, most of them were just empty talk.
The only god of war, Gu Yiheng, was killed by Dayu's dog emperor a few years ago. Aliang did not investigate Dayu's generals in detail, and he did not know that there was also Deputy General Chu who assisted the victory in Beihuang and Feng Yuan who became famous in a battle.
The warlike Aliang is thinking about tomorrow's palace competition. The Western Tatars intend to establish their power in Dayu. Their second prince will propose to the new emperor Qilian Bai tomorrow that the warriors of the two countries have a friendly exchange in front of the palace.
