A few days later, my father-in-law, King Fanhan, captured a large number of strangers in the south and sent them to Western Qin for his daughter and son-in-law to play with.
Zhang Xiaowu was surprised when he saw the aliens, because they were all deformed people. Some even had two heads, some had four hands, some had tails, and a woman with gray skin had three heads.
A piece of paper...
Zhang Xiaowu inquired further and learned that south of the Shengfan Kingdom is the legendary Cursed Land. It is said that those who enter the Cursed Land will not live long. In the past, many people did not believe this legend and ran into the Cursed Land, but they were born
Almost all of their descendants are deformed. Because of their physical deformities, the Shengfan people call them devils. The Shengfan people cower in the face of enemies, but they are extremely brave when facing deformed people. They say that deformed people are devils, and they can
Surrendering to other human races, but unable to retreat in the face of the devil. The deformed people are afraid that they will be killed once they leave the cursed earth, so they dare not leave the cursed earth even more.
But the Shengfan people did not exterminate the deformed people. They even trapped the deformed people and called them "foreign people" as gifts for exhibitions in other countries. Over time, the alien people became a profitable business for the Shengfan people. Even in the life of the people
In the capital of Fanwang, there is also a strange brothel for entertainment.
As the relationship between Shengfan Kingdom and Western Qin Kingdom became better and better, and there were more and more transactions, Zhang Xiaowu decided to take Alina to visit Shengfan Kingdom.
For the Shengfan Kingdom, Zhang Xiaowu, the commander-in-chief of the Western Qin Dynasty, was the first foreign monarch to visit. Although he did not profess his sweat, the Shengfan Kingdom still showed the highest etiquette.
Zhang Xiaowu brought unique gifts to the Western Qin Dynasty, a hundred hand crossbows and several pairs of jade mahjong. The hand crossbows were made by Han craftsmen. Although not as sophisticated as the Central Plains, they are still unique in the Western Regions. After all, they are small weapons that can be fired with one hand.
Crossbows are very rare.
Large pieces of jade often appear in the many Gobi deserts of the Western Qin Dynasty, which created the unique jade carving technology of the Western Qin State. Zhang Xiaowu had people make jade mahjong tiles.
Mahjong was originally a casual game in the auspicious palace, but as the land of Western Qin became more stable, the game spread to other generals' homes, and then became popular all over the Western Qin Dynasty. Ordinary people naturally couldn't afford jade mahjong, so they carved ordinary mahjong out of hardwood
, you are not afraid of bumps and bumps when playing, and actually have more fun than the rich.
King Shengfan Khan first entertained the Western Qin envoys with singing and dancing, and then took them to visit his Wanqi Garden, which contained many strange and strange people, just like animals in a zoo. In the evening, Shengfan Khan
King Fanhan also sent a strange woman to his bed. This woman was beautiful, but she was one of yin and yang. Zhang Xiaowu really didn't like this, so he sent the strange woman back, thinking that this father-in-law was really unreliable.
Later, Zhang Xiaowu saw the family banquet of King Shengfan Khan. Except for the six wives who had passed away, forty-five wives and their unmarried children attended the family banquet. In fact, as the king of Shengfan Khan,
A daughter is far happier than being his son, because his sons will leave the palace after they are fourteen years old, and many of them will go to remote places to be local officials.
Other countries use officials to rule the country, but it would be better for a country to directly use many children to rule the country.
Alina became the most promising princess among the many children of King Shengfan Khan. She held out her belly and accepted the blessings of all her sisters. Some princesses who were not married outside even asked through connections whether they could marry Zhang Xiaowu as their second wife.
In Shengfan Kingdom, the first wife to be married is called the upper wife, and the other wives are called lower wives. The upper wife is responsible for managing all the lower wives. The other princesses are willing to be taken care of by Alina, the little princess. They feel that it is better than waiting in the palace of Shengfan King.
I don’t know who gave it to him - in the eyes of the people of Shengfan, Zhang Xiaowu, who was tall, strong, powerful and with a beard, was extremely handsome.
Zhang Xiaowu was very interested in Cursed Earth, so King Shengfan took him to the Holy Wall on the southern border. Almost half of the soldiers of Shengfan were stationed at the Holy Wall. This was a tall wall that the Shengfan people had built over a thousand years. Zhang Xiaowu watched
When I saw the almost twenty-meter city wall, I was so surprised that I couldn’t open my mouth from ear to ear. It turned out that people from other countries did not participate in the struggle for world hegemony and were building the “Great Wall” here.
He climbed the holy wall with King Suisheng and saw the endless colorful forest in the distance to the south. Occasionally, the sounds of wild beasts could be heard, and even smoke rising from cooking fires in the distance.
King Shengfan said: "That's some strangers lighting a fire."
"How did the stranger appear?"
"The foreigners are criminals and defeated enemies of our country," said King Shengfan. "There are also explorers who take the initiative to enter the cursed land. After they enter, they never come out again. A hundred years ago, a city launched a rebellion and put it down.
After the rebellion, my ancestors drove all the 100,000 people in this city into the Cursed Land. The aliens could not speak, lost the ability to speak, and even lost their humanity, and became beasts and devils."
The two were having a conversation when suddenly a stranger with a head as big as his body rushed towards the holy wall. The soldiers on the wall shouted loudly, but the big-headed stranger was unmoved and bumped his head against the holy wall. Holy Wall
Without moving at all, the big-headed stranger shook his body, stood up again, and turned around to leave.
Zhang Xiaowu thought he would go far, but after the big-headed stranger walked more than twenty steps, he turned around and continued running and hit the wall. After hitting the wall fifteen times in a row, he finally killed himself.
"These devils still want to break through the holy wall and enter the human world. They are simply stupid." King Shengfan laughed loudly.
Zhang Xiaowu knew that these so-called aliens were deformed people, and their deformities changed even more. There were many causes of deformities. They could be called boundless forests that cursed the earth. He speculated whether there were powerful radioactive substances in them, or whether they cursed the earth.
It was originally the remaining land after the explosion of radioactive materials.
"Could it be the remnants of nuclear weapons?" Zhang Xiaowu was surprised. He was immediately shocked by his speculation. Although nuclear weapons would cause radioactive contamination, the impact of nuclear weapons explosions would last for hundreds of years at most, while Sanfan people built holy walls for thousands of years.
In other words, the nuclear weapons in the Cursed Earth will affect it for thousands of years? Could it be said that there are still nuclear weapons in the Cursed Earth that are releasing radiation, and they will last for thousands or even ten thousand years?
"What kind of place is there? Is my speculation just my imagination?" Zhang Xiaowu looked at the strange place in the distance, full of curiosity and exploration.
After the trip to the country of Shengfan, the friendship between Xi Qin and Shengfan became deeper. Although Zhang Xiaowu refused to marry King Shengfan to marry his daughter to him, he successfully married the other three daughters who could speak Chinese to Zhang Xiaowu's
Other subordinates have brought the relationship between the two countries closer.
Others cried when they married their daughters. King Shengfan danced with joy when he married his daughter. He was afraid that others would reject him and even gave him a lot of dowries. However, everyone was also dumbfounded. King Shengfan’s foreign policy was really hard to learn.
Who has the ability to shoot more than 200 arrows? Even if he can hit one out of ten arrows, he needs to shoot at least more than 2,000 arrows. Excluding the rest time, this guy will be singing almost every night.
Ma Changge became Zhang Xiaowu's brother-in-law this time. In terms of sister relationship, Ma Changge was still his brother-in-law. He rode his horse forward and said with a smile: "Commander, if you work hard, you will have ten or eight children in the future. Learn from your father-in-law."
grown ups."
Zhang Xiaowu said: "I can't do it. I'm old and you're still young. You should learn from him."
Ma Changge said: "I have enough heart but not enough strength."
Zhang Xiaowu laughed and asked, "Has the trip to Yesha City been arranged?"
Ma Changge said seriously: "Everything has been arranged. This time I have mobilized 8,000 herdsmen from the Amitabha, Luosha, and Wuhuan tribes."
