The low trumpet sounded in the rustling autumn wind, and teams of fierce Khitan knights came from the Khan court on the Tuhuzhen River in all directions. Although the Khitan Khan did not command troops and had low authority, his status was respectful and he was the co-lord of the twenty alliances. Disputes arise between tribes, Khan must convene Yilijin of each tribe to discuss and resolve them.

Half a month ago, the Khitan Khan issued the Silver Wolf Arrow and sent a messenger to the twenty divisions with the Silver Wolf Banner, summoning Yilijin from various divisions to come.

The Khitan Khan mobilized such a large army, of course, was not because of the arrival of the Central Plains caravan.

The tribes were summoned to kill Yelu Yundeshi. Although this was originally a family matter of the Diela tribe, Yilijin, the Dadielifu of Diela tribe, was also Yilijin of the entire Khitan alliance. Therefore, summoning the tribes to come to choose the new Yilijin. However, now Yelu Junde has reached an agreement with Diela and other tribes. Therefore, the new Yilijin has long confirmed that it is Yelu Junde. However, according to the rules of the Khitan, each tribe must still elect together and then hold the Chai Ce ceremony publicly. In this way, Yelu Junde is the new Yilijin.

All the troops came by orders, and the caravans in the Central Plains also arrived at this time. There was still such a huge caravan. Bala Khan was in a very good mood now.

The caravan that camped not far from the Khan Court was also invited to attend the banquets that the various departments came to today.

After taking a bath, Manager Cui changed into gorgeous and warm furs, and rushed to the Khan Court with a team of brave guards selected from the team.

The low trumpet sounded again, and a huge team of cavalry appeared, and the banner embroidered with a silver wolf flying in the wind. Bala Khan came.

The leaders of the twenty divisions, their officers and guards stopped fighting horses and lined up on both sides. Manager Cui led the caravans to urge him to go forward and lined up to the end of the queue.

Bala Khan was wearing a silver wolf-skin robe, with a silver wolf-headed sword on one side of his waist, and a dazzling Qianli Mile Mile. He stepped forward and laughed and chatted with the leaders of the tribes who came to join. After seeing the leaders of the tribes, he laughed and said from afar: "How was the honorable grassland guest resting here last night?"

Manager Cui turned over and got off the horse, bowed forward and bowed, "We were treated very well last night, thank you very much. This time, I came here, and was entrusted by the Great Protector of Andong, the Great Town of the Tang Dynasty, the Datong Army, the Lu Long Army, the Jiedushi of the Four Towns, Situ, the Zhongshu Ling, and the Pingzhangshi of the Zhongshu Menxia, ​​the Shangzhu Kingdom, the General of the Auxiliary State, the General of the Zuo Guard, and the Duke of Qi Li Jing, the Grand Marshal Li, and the Grand Marshal Li of Marshal Li, on behalf of him, he expressed his sincere respect and greetings to Khan."

As he said that, he waved his hand and the four guards carefully raised a large red sandalwood box.

The leaders of the Khitan were shocked when they heard Li Jing's long list of official names. Now they were even more shocked to see that the gift boxes given by Li Jing were all made of such precious red sandalwood.

Everyone was eager to know what kind of gift Li Jing, who was famous in the Khitan, would give him to the Khitan Khan.

The box was lifted to Khan, and Manager Cui opened it. There was also an activity mechanism for the red sandalwood box. Pressing the motive mechanism, the four sides of the box spread out, and the gifts in the box were presented directly.

Seeing the gift in the box, everyone took a long breath, and even Bala Khan's eyes became hot.

It was a "wolf" bigger than an ordinary wolf. It was so crystal clear and dazzling, stunning. It seemed to be standing on the top of the mountain, roaring at the moon.

"This is a glass roaring wolf, made completely according to the silver wolf Xiaoyue raised by Mariser Li." said Manager Cui.

This glass roaring wolf is seven feet long, with a shoulder height of four feet, and weighs at least two or three hundred kilograms. Such a huge wolf is almost the same size as a mare. I was shocked to see this glass roaring wolf, but I heard that Li Jing also had a silver wolf of such a size, which really shocked the Khitans.

Yelu Hende, the son of Bala Khan, looked at the wolf and was completely shocked. After a long time, he still pointed at the wolf in a daze and shouted excitedly: "This is a glass wolf, so beautiful and vivid, it is simply a god. How much does such a large glass treasure cost? A tall glass treasure mirror in Dengzhou sold for one million yuan."

Manager Cui interrupted at the right time: "There were once the Khalils and the Tatars who wanted to buy this glass-roaring wolf. The envoy of the Khan of the Khalils was willing to pay 10,000 horses and 100,000 cattle for exchange. The Tatars were also willing to exchange all the treasures and a large number of cattle and horse slaves for such treasures. However, the general did not agree, saying that this was a priceless treasure."

"This is indeed a priceless treasure, it is a treasure given by the gods. No matter how many sheep there are, they cannot get such a treasure. This wolf is the totem of our Khitan!"

Seeing the Khitans so lost, Shopkeeper Cui smiled in his heart. As the Grand Marshal said, the Khitans would be so crazy when they saw this wolf. This wolf is indeed precious, but no matter how precious it is, it is just a glass wolf. No one is willing to exchange for ten thousand horses and ten thousand cattle. What he said just now was just talking nonsense. However, if this wolf really wants to sell it, it is not impossible for it to sell it for millions of coins, or even two or three million coins. After all, there are so many rich people in the world, especially for all races like the grassland, they almost worship wolves. Such a wolf has more meaning.

"This glassy roaring sky wolf is a gift given to Da Khan by Da Khan by Da Khan. I hope Da Khan can cherish this thing in the future and further promote the relationship between Da Khan by Da Khan."

Bala Khan nodded, then knelt in front of Liulilang with a solemn expression, "From now on, this Liuli Xiaotianlang is my Khitan totem, passed down from generation to generation! The Khitan warriors should love him more than life!"

The leaders of various Khitan tribes and warriors knelt down towards the Liuli Wolf. The sun shone on the Liuli Wolf, emitting a dazzling luster and dazzling. Countless Khitans cheered and sighed that this was a gift from God to the Khitan.

After Bala Khan stood up, he asked him to carefully send Liulilang to the Khan Palace and build a special palace to accommodate the treasures of this tribe. After sending away the treasures, he held the hand of the shopkeeper Cui and said with a smile: "I have accepted the gift from Mr. Li. This gift is really expensive. I will immediately send someone to choose 10,000 cattle, horses and 200,000 sheep as a return gift to Mr. Li. I know that these are not as good as the treasures given by Mr. Li, but the gift is light and the feelings are heavy. Please accept it. When I go back, my descendants Ben Khan convey his gratitude to Mr. Li."

This time the gift is quite heavy. Although cattle, horses and sheep on the grassland are cheap and not as expensive as the Central Plains, with such a large number, even if the horses are not war horses, they can still be worth millions together.

"It must be!" Manager Cui was very happy to receive such a large gift, even if it was just a gift on behalf of Dashuai Li.

The leaders of the tribes came to join the alliance. As soon as Bala received a rare treasure, he was extremely happy and excited, so he ordered a banquet to host a banquet in the palace to entertain the leaders of various tribes and merchants of the Tang Kingdom.

At the Khan's banquet, the merchants from the Central Plains and the leaders of the twenty Khitan tribes attended the banquet, expressing their views on Bala Khan's heart that these Tang Dynasty merchants had a very high position in his heart.

The palace of Khan in Bala is luxuriously decorated with carpets from Persia. Silk and porcelain from the Tang Dynasty can be seen everywhere, and various tableware and gold and silver utensils transported from the vast country of Dashi. The golden light is dazzling, making the palace magnificent. But today, these gold and silver utensils are a bit bleak, because the Bala Khan used a set of extremely precious full set of glassware. Glass wine bottles, glass goblets, glass drag trays, glass teapots, wine pots and tea cups...

Looking at these glassware, the leaders of various tribes blinded their eyes. Who doesn’t know that these glassware is now more expensive than gold.

In the luxurious hall, the Bala Khan family gathered with leaders of various tribes and merchants from the Tang Dynasty. The table was filled with various fine wines transported from Dengzhou, as well as the most delicious barbecue on the grassland.

The guests and hosts all enjoyed each other, and the banquet was very successful.

After the wine and meat were full, the Bala Khan told the waiter to withdraw the banquet and serve tea and fruits to everyone.

Manager Cui was surprised to find that what was on Bala Khan was neither milk tea nor the sencha that was commonly consumed by the Tang Dynasty. Instead, it was brewed tea that had just emerged in the upper class of the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, the tea was brewed very well, and even the tea leaves were newly fried this year's famous tea Mengdingshihua.

Yelu Yande, who was about to take office in the Diela tribe and Yilijin of Khitan, picked up the tea and took a sip. The bitter taste made him frown secretly, but when he saw that the other people were drinking it, he forced himself to quit and asked Manager Cui with a smile: "This year, the merchants from the Central Plains have not seen many people coming. The clans of various tribes are now full of cattle and sheep, and the skins are piled up in the warehouse, but they are in urgent need of salt, tea, silk, and porcelain from the Central Plains. The caravan that came this time is so big that it has not been in previous years. I just don't know how many good things I brought. I will first agree that I must give me some glass. This thing is much brighter and dazzling than porcelain."

The tribes on the grassland will start slaughtering cattle and sheep every winter to survive the winter. Because in winter, if there is insufficient grass, the cattle and sheep will fall off. Moreover, if there is too much grass, it will be difficult for cattle and sheep to survive the winter and will freeze to death. Therefore, the custom of the grassland people is to start slaughtering cattle and killing large quantities after the winter begins to save dried meat, and the remaining cattle and sheep can also have enough grass to survive the winter.

However, such a tradition is a huge loss for the grassland people. After slaughtering cattle and sheep, all they get is a few pieces of dried meat and a piece of skin, which is impossible to sell with a living person.

"This time we came, more than 30 caravans joined forces. We brought a lot of goods, including more than 800 stone tea leaves, a total of 100,000 kilograms. Most of them were Fuliang tea cakes and coarse tea. The high-quality Mengding stone flower tea is a freshly fried tea, with only more than 4,000 kilograms. I wonder, do you like it?"

The tea from the Tang Dynasty has always been the most important commodity for trading outside the border. At present, the entire Tang Dynasty produces tea at 800,000 stones every year, reaching 96 million jin. There are eight tea producing areas in the entire Tang Dynasty, with a total of 65 states producing tea. Generally, tea is divided into three types: coarse tea, cake tea, and loose tea. Coarse tea is a kind of tea that can be easily picked and made by picking coarse old scriptures, and the cheapest. Scall tea refers to fried green tea. The amount of coarse tea and loose tea is small, and the most common one is tea cake. When used, one piece of the petal is crushed and fried.

People on the grassland need tea more than the Central Plains. The Khitans eat more meat. Drinking tea can not only remove greasy, but also prevent several common diseases of grassland people and supplement the missing elements. However, grassland people do not produce tea, so grassland people have always used horses and Central Plains to exchange tea.

One hundred thousand kilograms of tea is only more than 800 stones, and this little tea cannot meet the needs of the Khitans at all.

"Give me the tea!" Yelu Hende, son of Balakhan, immediately stood up, "I don't want all these teas, but I want all four thousand kilograms of Mengdingshi flower tea, I will exchange it for war horses."

"Hende, you are too greedy. So many of us are here. You can't leave all of you alone." Hende's brother-in-law Fengde immediately stopped doing it. Although he had not officially become Yi Lijin, his every move and speaking, he had already regarded himself as Yi Lijin, who was below one person and above ten thousand people.

Tea is neither porcelain nor silk. This is a consumable. A herder gets at least a dozen kilograms of tea a year. The Khitan now has twenty tribes, which together have more than two million tribes, as well as many slaves, prisoners of war, etc. 100,000 kilograms of tea, even a tribe cannot satisfy it.

Among these teas, only 4,000 kilograms of the best famous teas are only about 4,000 kilograms. Which of the leaders who are used to drinking good teas is willing to drink those rough teas?

The leaders of various Khitan tribes and chiefs of large and small tribes who were still in harmony immediately started to challenge each other for the 100,000 kilograms of tea. Especially the sons of the brothers of Yelu Yundeshi of the Diela tribe, the sons of the brothers of Yelu Tela tribe, immediately started arguing with the sons of Yelu Yande. The two tribes had just experienced a mutual revenge, but now they directly triggered conflicts because of tea, shouted and scolded each other, and even rolled up their sleeves and were about to fight.

But Yelu Tiela and Yelu Guzhi brothers seemed to ignore them, just casually savoring the tea leaves. Yelu rude was the same, and he watched his sons fight with the children of the Yelu Tiela brothers with joy.

The more he saw the more he was making trouble, the more disgusting he was, all kinds of erratic words came out, but no one in the other tribes in the palace came out to persuade him to make peace. Yelu Bala felt that his old face was a little uneasy, especially in front of the merchants of the Tang Dynasty.

"Shut up! If you quarrel, get out of your way!" Although Bala had no real power, his prestige was still very high. When he shouted, the others stopped talking immediately. Several young people sat back with their robes, but the hatred gazes were well known to everyone and were undoubtedly revealed.

Especially Yelu Tiela's eldest son Yelu Puguzhi, pressing his hand on the hilt of the knife, his eyes coldly looking at Yelu Fengde sitting opposite him.
