Chapter 1254 Two Camels in Front of the Palace
"Congratulations, big brother. Congratulations, big brother. This is such a great joyous event."
"There is even greater joy. The Dalang Kingdom has surrendered and asked for peace."
"Big brother is mighty."
"Hey, Dalang was able to surrender so quickly, and this credit is inseparable from my brother. I am anxious to have you come back this time not only to attend my elder brother's wedding ceremony, but more importantly, since I ascended the throne two years ago, there have been constant wars, and the civil and military officials have made great contributions. I want to take advantage of this national celebration to grant amnesty to the world and enthrone all civil and military officials. Your brother is the founding hero we begged for, how can we leave you out at this time."
"Brother, I failed this time. I only persuaded Lingyuan to send troops. The leader of Yatuo asked for a lot of weapons from Fengqi, and specifically asked for 10,000 of our bronze crossbows. I can consider swords, but we can't give away the crossbows. Not only is the bronze extremely expensive, but this weapon is unique to Fengqi. It has a long range and can be aimed accurately. We Fengqi rely on these crossbows to fight and guard the border."
"What I said is absolutely right. This bronze crossbow can only be used by our three armies. Others won't even be able to see it. It doesn't matter if we can't convince Yatuo, so I don't need to blame myself. Now our goal has been achieved. If either Lingyuan or Yatuo sends troops, they can contain Dalang. That's right, Dalang has already surrendered!" Wan Lianxing pulled Ge Dongqing to sit down.
"Brother, that makes sense. But according to my observation, Yatuo and Dalang have close ties and should be very close friends. Lingyuan and Yatuo are enemies. It is very likely that Yatuo will help Dalang attack Lingyuan. I am still not replying because I want to persuade Yatuo and disintegrate the relationship between Yatuo and Dalang."
Wan Lianxing patted Ge Dongqing on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, my dear brother. We beg you to take this opportunity to rest and recuperate. We won't be afraid if there is any unusual movement in Dalang again. By the way, my dear brother, did you see anything strange along the way?"
Ge Dongqing said mysteriously: "Brother, there are some rare sights. As soon as you enter Lingyuan, you will see an endless desert, golden and very rare."
Wan Lianxing was not so easily fooled at this time. He said slowly: "My dear brother, there is also a desert in Dalang Kingdom. It is also golden and hot during the day. Even an egg buried in the sand can be cooked."
Ge Dongqing was a little surprised, "Brother, you even know this?" He had traveled a lot in the past, read thousands of books, and traveled thousands of miles, so he was naturally knowledgeable. However, Wan Lianxing had only been to a limited number of places, and had not seen many mountains, rivers, and streams. It stands to reason that he definitely had no chance to see something like a desert with his own eyes.
"How could you not know, brother?" Wan Lianxing acted as if your brother will always be your brother.
Ge Dongqing chuckled when he heard this. He was sure that Wan Lianxing had no chance to see the desert. What Wan Lianxing said must have been hearsay. "Brother, the desert in Lingyuan is not all golden."
"Oh? Is there any other color of sand?"
"Brother, there really is sand of other colors. In Lingyuan there is a white beach, so silvery white that it's so bright that people can't open their eyes even in the daytime."
"White? How is that possible? No one has ever told me there is a white one! My dear brother, you are not making up a story for me because you think I have never seen a desert!"
"Brother, there really is a white desert. The locals call that kind of desert the salt desert. I tasted it with my mouth and the sand is salty. There is salt in it."
After hearing this, Wan Lianxing nodded repeatedly in amazement: "No wonder we sent the colored glass we begged for, but got salt in return. It turns out there is salt in people's sand. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!" If Ge Dongqing was able to persuade Ling Yuan to send troops to attack Dalang, the colored glass he brought played a certain role. If they didn't give him benefits, how could the two countries reach a consensus?
"Brother, Ling Yuan has another good thing that you definitely haven't seen."
"what?"
"A camel! Camels have big eyes and are furry. They are very pretty. I didn't go to Lingyuan this time. Otherwise, I would have brought back a camel for you. You will definitely like the camel if you see it."
After hearing this, Wan Lianxing took Ge Dongqing's hand and walked out, "My dear brother, I will show you something."
Wan Lianxing had already expected that Ge Dongqing would talk endlessly to him about camels, because according to common sense, Wan Lianxing would never have the opportunity to see a camel. As a result, after he followed Wan Lianxing out of the hall, there were two camels in front of the hall.
Ge Dongqing thought he was seeing things, but when he looked more closely, they were indeed camels. "I left the desert and returned to Fengying City. I saw two camels on top of the palace. I shook my head and stared at them intently. The sound of camel bells reappeared in my ears. Brother, where did you get these two camels?"
Ge Dongqing couldn't help but reach out and touch the camel's head. He didn't lie, the camel's big eyes were very special and had an indescribable cuteness.
Wan Lianxing laughed out loud: "Last year, you mentioned this thing to me in your letter, so I had people look for a pair. The one you touched is called Luo Luo, and the other one is Tuo Tuo. Luo Luo is mine!"
Ge Dongqing asked: "Whose camel is that?"
"Cheng Youning, this is because he is worried that they will be alone, so he keeps them together."
Ge Dongqing asked: "Are these a male and a female?"
Wan Lianxing said: "Of course not. If it's a male and a female, they can't be raised together! That would be incest!"
"Ah?" Ge Dongqing bent down and looked under the camel's belly. "Brother, they are all male."
Wan Lianxing said in annoyance: "Suiying sent people out to look for them, and they only brought back two males. He even said that these two camels look good. I think he is not doing his job well." For some reason, everyone said that these camels were good-looking, but Wan Lianxing alone could not appreciate them. He might be used to looking at horses, so he thought these camels were strange. Cheng Youning would ride one when he had nothing to do, but he had never thought of riding a camel except touching it.
Ge Dongqing laughed out loud when he heard this. "Brother, the appearance of these two camels is definitely outstanding, but their names are not outstanding enough."
"Cheng Youning named them. He said that camels are cute and deserve cute names. However, this name is not catchy enough. How about you give them new names for me? Marry one that sounds more heroic."
Ge Dongqing waved his hands repeatedly upon hearing this: "Forget it, forget it, don't change the name Cheng Youning gave you. That child despises me the most."
When this was mentioned, Wan Lianxing asked Ge Dongqing: "You have been away from home for a year. Can you write a letter to your family?"
"I have nothing to say to her!"
Upon hearing this, Wan Lianxing could only shake his head helplessly. He lamented that he had arranged such a marriage for Ge Dongqing at that time, and that the two of them were enemies.
