Chapter 380 Talking about Marriage
Except for the two spy leaders who privately went to their superiors to report the situation along the way, the rest of the spies took the packages they received and went back to share them with their families.
As soon as they returned home and saw their relatives whom they hadn't seen for a few days, they couldn't help but excitedly began to share with their families what they had seen and heard along the way.
The family members were all shocked and exclaimed from time to time. Then they started to share the food together.
The same scene was happening in more than a dozen families in the Tieshi tribe at the same time.
Because of the time difference, no one ordered everyone to keep their mouths shut, and those who came back thought it was just some everyday news and told their families about it.
After hearing the news brought back by their own family members, the families of these spies ran happily to show off to their best friends, old sisters, old brothers, playmates, etc.
With this operation, in just one day, everyone in the Tieshi tribe knew all the differences of the Muzhen tribe.
As a result, the entire Tieshi tribe was deeply shocked and full of curiosity and doubts about the Muzhen tribe.
The Muzhen tribe was like the center of a social opinion storm, quietly creating a hurricane within the Tieshi tribe.
Their invisible operation also helped Song Renjing achieve his goal.
This was Song Renjing's strategy to win over the enemy.
He wanted the people of the Tieshi tribe to see with their own eyes that the Muzhen tribe was living a good life.
As long as we plant a small seed in people's hearts, over time, this seed will break through the soil and grow branches.
Therefore, they moved so slowly along the way, just to wait for King Tieshi to send people to inquire about the news.
When people arrived, they acted extremely luxuriously, in order to leave a deep enough impression on them so that they would think of this scene involuntarily when they lived their lives in the future.
Every time I think of the gap between the tribe and the Muzhen tribe, I become more looking forward to and yearning for the Muzhen tribe.
In this way, when the day of the merger really comes, the people will be able to look forward to it.
However, the Muzhen envoy group represented by Song Renjing followed King Tieshi and his entourage into the royal tent.
At this time, the queen and the little princess were already waiting in the tent.
Mu Zhen Tianhao met the little princess again, and the resentment in the little princess's heart had disappeared at this moment.
With only the longing for each other left, the two looked at each other, unable to look away.
It was not until Queen Ironstone noticed her daughter's abnormality that she quietly pulled the little princess.
The little princess finally came back to her senses and quickly turned her eyes away, no longer looking at Mu Zhen Tianhao.
Muzhen's representative today is Song Renjing. After the two sides greeted each other, they sat down.
King Tieshi could not help but speak: “I received a letter from King Muzhen a few days ago, stating that he would send an envoy.
This king is looking forward to it day and night!
The result is that you all did not come. Considering the distance between you and me, you should have arrived seven days ago at the latest. I wonder if you had any accidents on the way?"
Upon hearing this, Song Renjing stood up, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, we did set out after we responded to your letter.
It’s just that we brought a lot of people with us on this trip, and there were many things to do along the way, so the journey was a bit slow. It’s really our fault that the king was worried. Please forgive me!”
At this time, the king of the Tieshi tribe still didn't know what kind of trivial matters they were talking about.
After hearing this, he just waved his hand and said, "Since nothing has changed for the better, I am not the kind of person who cares about it."
"Thank you, Your Majesty! I believe our king has already stated our purpose in the letter. We are here this time to discuss in detail with Your Majesty.
Our king and the third prince have specially prepared valuable gifts for King Tieshi and the little princess. Please accept them."
"Your King Muzhen is too polite. Be sure to convey my gratitude to your king when you return." King Tieshi said with a smile.
"Yes, King Tieshi, rest assured, I will bring it to you."
After Song Renjing finished speaking, he waved his sleeves, and a man from the envoy group came forward with a thick booklet and began to read the gift list.
"King Muzhen and his three princes presented King Tieshi with two boxes of refined salt, two boxes of tea, two hundred sets of fur suits, fifty sets of uniquely crafted jewelry, and two boxes of cliff honey..."
Following a series of chants, the people of the Tieshi tribe went from being shocked at first to being numb.
Although the quantity of each gift is not large, the varieties are diverse.
After hearing the latter part, apart from remembering that the first one was the important material refined salt, everyone only remembered the woolen sweater that they had never heard of before.
As for what it was, it was beyond their imagination.
As the ceremonial officer recited, the followers carried up the gift boxes that were recited one by one.
Only after the entire space in the tent was filled did the ceremonial officer let out a long sigh of relief and continued, "The gift list is complete. Please review it, King Tieshi."
After saying this, he bowed and presented the gift list.
King Tieshi's followers had been waiting for a long time. Upon hearing this, they quickly stepped forward, took the gift from the ceremonial officer, and presented it to King Tieshi.
King Tieshi took it and waved his hand happily to the ceremonial officer, saying, "Good! Thank you for your hard work. Please take a seat."
After the officer took his seat, his attendant immediately and considerately poured him a cup of warm tea at just the right temperature.
All their actions were carried out silently, and King Tieshi's attention at this moment was attracted by the thick gift list in his hand.
Although King Tieshi really wanted to see it, he knew that the occasion was not right, so he just scanned a few pages of the gift list and handed it back to his follower.
"Hahaha, King Muzhen is so polite! Thank you for your concern! You have prepared so many things. I am so grateful for your kindness." said the Iron-Stone King.
“King Tieshi is too polite. As the saying goes, one should look up to marry a daughter and look down to marry a good wife. These were personally selected and prepared by our king and prince, which fully demonstrates the sincerity of our Muzhen tribe.
Our king said that if it works out, the items on today's gift list will be doubled and added to the betrothal gift, and there will be others. I wonder if the marriage between the two can be settled?
Of course, if you have any other requests, you can also raise them." Song Renjing said.
By raising these questions, Song Renjing was already prepared to be rejected by King Tieshi.
But it doesn’t matter. We should always give them some time to discuss and respond.
They can also take this opportunity to stay in the Tieshi Tribe for a while and bring more influence to the Tieshi Tribe.
Sure enough, as soon as Song Renjing finished speaking, he was rejected by King Tieshi.
"The marriage of children affects their whole life, so it should not be taken lightly. I cannot agree to your request right away.
Besides, my little princess is still young, and I want to keep her for two more years, so there is no rush for this matter." King Tieshi said with a smile.
"King Tieshi, there is a saying that girls should not be kept when they grow up. Keeping them will only cause trouble. You only have a little princess, so you'd better make plans early." Song Renjing said.
