Chapter 325 The Choice of the Muzhen Tribe
Chapter 325 The Choice of the Muzhen Tribe
The cheerful prairie man was not polite.
Mu Zhen Tianhao simply took the tea bowl and patted Gu Xiang's shoulder happily.
Although Mu Zhen Tianhao is not older than Gu Xiang, he is almost as tall as Gu Xiang, so patting his shoulders is not difficult at all.
"Good brothers, then you guys just take a good rest. I'll go back first, and we'll ride together tomorrow." Mu Zhen Tianhao said.
"Okay, go ahead, go back and rest quickly." Gu Xiang said.
The two parties said goodbye.
At the Gu family's side, after washing up, several people went back to their tents to rest.
After the people finished drinking the tea, the secret guards were responsible for cleaning up the tea sets.
Muzhen Tianhao personally carried the tea bowl and walked carefully back to the Muzhen tribe's tent, going directly to the tents of the king and queen.
The king, queen and two princes of the Muzhen tribe were still awake and waiting for him in the tent.
Mu Zhen Tianhao walked into the tent with a bright smile on his face and carefully placed the tea bowl on the low table next to his father.
Then he bowed to his father, mother and two brothers.
Seeing that his son treasured the jar so much, King Muzhen smiled and waited until his son finished paying his respects before asking, "What good things did you bring back?"
"My father, this is the milk tea that my new friend asked me to bring back. I brought it for my father, mother and brothers to taste." Mu Zhen Tianhao said.
"Oh, your friend is thoughtful, but what is milk tea?" King Muzhen asked curiously.
The queen and the other two princes also looked at Muzhen Tianhao in confusion.
Mu Zhen Tianhao explained to everyone what milk tea is.
When the family learned that this milk tea was made with their milk and a kind of leaf, they became curious and waited for Mu Zhen Tianhao to give it to them to taste.
They usually prepare wooden bowls for drinking water, and they are available in the tent.
Then someone quick-eyed and quick-handed took the wooden bowl.
Muzhen Tianhao scooped out milk tea from the tea bowl and handed it to his father, mother, and brothers.
After they took it, they looked at the dark liquid inside and glanced at each other, all a little hesitant.
It was the queen who sniffed the fragrance in the bowl and couldn't help but take a sip.
Then his eyes suddenly lit up and he praised, "What Hao brought back is really delicious!
This thing called milk tea only retains the aroma of milk and has no fishy smell at all.
It smells really good and even has a light salty taste. Did they put salt in it?" the queen asked in surprise.
Upon hearing this, King Muzhen also took a sip and found that it indeed had a light salty taste.
They all looked at Mu Zhen Tianhao expectantly.
Mu Zhen Tianhao thought about it and seemed to see his friend add some white stuff into it, which seemed to be salt.
He nodded and said, "I saw him take something from the stove and add it in. But I'm not sure if it was salt, because it was too white and too fine. But I can ask my friend tomorrow."
Salt is an extremely scarce and extremely important commodity for them.
When King Muzhen heard him say this, he immediately instructed: “Good prince, then you should go and ask them tomorrow.
If it is really salt, you can ask them how much they have and whether they can exchange some for us.
Our furs, cattle, horses, sheep, women, and slaves... they can choose whatever they want."
"Okay, father. But I also received an important news today." Mu Zhen Tianhao said.
"What news?" Wang asked curiously.
Mu Zhen Tianhao told his family all the news about the rebellious army that he had heard today.
When the queen heard about the cruelty of the rebellious army, she was so frightened that her hands began to tremble. She held the king's arm tightly, with tears in her eyes and biting her lips.
The queen thought of her good sister again. The tribe her sister married into was a large tribe and was unwilling to submit to outsiders, thus offending the villain who came to lobby.
The villain plotted against her and told the rebel army how beautiful her friend was, which led the rebel army to kill most of the tribe members, and then took her friend away and tortured her. In the end, she was thrown behind a horse and dragged to death.
King Muzhen patted the queen’s hand soothingly and said angrily, “It seems that our choice was correct.
They really are beasts who can't even treat their own people well.
Looks like we need to find a more secluded place.”
“Father, I think hiding all the time is not a solution.
The grassland is so small, they will find us one day.
Our sheep and horses need fertile grasslands, and we can’t stay in one place forever. Sooner or later, we will run into them. What should I do then?” said the eldest prince.
"My son also thinks that we should unite with the surrounding tribes. When we are strong enough, we will be able to compete with them." The second prince also said.
"My son also agrees with the opinions of my elder and second brothers? If we just hide in a remote place, there will definitely not be enough water and grass for a long time. By then, our horses will definitely be weak. If those foreigners find us and oppress us at that time, we will have no ability to resist." Mu Zhen Tianhao said.
King Muzhen thought for a moment and said, "What you said makes sense, so let's find a place to stay first.
Then send someone to contact your uncle and aunt's tribe to see what they think.
If you are willing to cooperate with us, our three tribes will unite and become a large tribe, and we will be able to fight against foreigners."
"Father is the Lord of Wisdom!" The three princes stood up and saluted.
The look the queen gave King Muzhen was also full of admiration and affection.
After the family discussed the matter and made a plan, they went to rest.
However, Muzhen's family, who tried milk tea for the first time, all went to bed late that night.
Early the next morning, the people of the Muzhen tribe got up early and began their busy day.
When Gu Fu and his companions walked out of the tent, they saw people from the Muzhen tribe. Some of them were busy checking the conditions of cattle, sheep, horses, etc., counting their numbers, and checking to see if any of them were lost, injured, or sick.
Some watched the lambs drinking goat's milk.
Some people let the horses go by the river, letting the horses that had been tied up all night eat grass and drink water.
There were also women milking and boiling milk.
There were also some women barbecuing, probably preparing breakfast for their families.
Looking at these busy people with such a lively atmosphere, Gu Fu felt the beautiful, quiet and peaceful atmosphere.
If possible, who doesn’t want the world to be peaceful forever and people to be happy forever?
Several people hope that this peace and happiness can cover every corner under this sky.
Gu Fu couldn't help but exclaimed: "How beautiful!"
Song Renjing echoed from the side: "It is indeed beautiful!"
