"Borrow a cannon? Alright! " Sir Lin said in high spirits, "I have two on me, a large one and a small one. Which one do you want?!"
"Carry with you?!" Lu Dongzan and Ashe Lei looked at each other in dismay. Cannons could be carried around? Then just how advanced was China's technology?!
"Daren, can I borrow the cannon you carry with you for a look?!" Lu Dongzan looked Lin Wanrong up and down, carefully asking.
"A small cannon? That's it. You two can see it." Lin Daren waved the gun in his hand. "This is called a hand-held cannon. It's the latest product developed by China and the West. I reckon that in a few years, it will be equipped with our cavalry and infantry."
Lu Dongzan and Ashe Lei had interacted with Lin Daren several times. His words were like clouds floating in the sky, and they couldn't tell which was true and which was false. However, the structure of the gun was exquisite and the workmanship was exquisite. With a single glance, they could tell that it wasn't an ordinary product. Could it really be as Lin Daren said, that China had already developed the latest hand-held firearm?
"Lin Daren, then what about the other cannon? Is it with you?!" Ashe Lei hurriedly asked.
Lin Daren chuckled. "The other one is called a big cannon. Of course it's with me. This cannon is a natural divine weapon. It has a grand appearance and boundless power. It once shot twelve virgins in one night without losing its firepower. How about it, isn't it amazing? " Lin Daren lecherously swept his eyes over the bodies of the Hu women who were wearing revealing clothes and stroking their hair coquettishly. He nodded and said, "But you Turkic women have large bodies, and you grew up riding horses. This lord's cannon might have some difficulty dealing with twelve of them, but it shouldn't be a problem for it to take down ten."
The more the two listened, the more confused they became. Lin Daren's cannon was going to shoot virgins one moment and then shoot Hu women the next. Just what kind of amazing thing was this?
Seeing the two people's confused gazes, Lin Wanrong laughed heartily and gave the two a dirty look. "Brother Ah, Brother Lu, speaking of this cannon, you two actually have one on you as well. It's just a small one. I have an enlarged caliber on me, causing all the women in the world to tremble in fear upon hearing my name. I am invincible. "
Only now did the two Turks understand what Lord Lin meant by Big Cannon. He was a cultured scum, even worse than a beast. If such a person could become the Deputy Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Personnel of China, one could see how far China had fallen.
The two of them were both happy and worried at the same time. Ashe Lei laughed heartily and said, "Daren's thoughts are indeed wondrous. We are truly impressed. However, what I want to borrow is the cannon that was displayed on the training field that day. The kind with great power and a light structure. "
Lord Lin turned his face away and said nothing. Ashe Le immediately continued, "Milord is young and full of vigor, his firepower fierce. These Turkic beauties of mine are perfect for Milord to relieve his heat. You guys … "He pointed at the dancing Hu women in the middle of the field, and a burst of foreign language came out, making Lin Daren's head feel like it was going to explode. Fuck, what kind of stupid language was this? English was not like English, and French was not like French.
Lu Dongzan knew that he couldn't understand, so he automatically translated, "Ashe Le said to have them serve Lord Lin well. Once Lord Lin is satisfied, he will report to Khan Pijia when he returns to the country and promote their parents and brothers. "
As soon as he finished speaking, the effect was immediately apparent. The Hu women stuck to him like sticky candy. They moved closer to Lord Lin and twisted their waists, rubbing their full breasts and round buttocks against his body. Ashe Le and Lu Dongzan secretly swallowed their saliva as they watched. In an instant, the tent was extremely hot, and the temperature rose by several degrees.
Turkic women really had good figures. If they could do a chest push, tsk tsk, this daddy would be extremely satisfied. Sir Lin's hands vigorously groped around the Hu woman's body, following the smooth satin down into the gown, grabbing her snow-white thigh and forcefully squeezing it. The Hu woman released a snort, as if she was a Persian cat that didn't have enough sleep.
Seeing Lord Lin so bold and unrestrained, Ashe Le and Lu Dongzan both sighed. Ashe Le gulped. "Lord, we just mentioned to you about borrowing cannons, do you think …"
Lord Lin's eyes narrowed. He rubbed the chest of a Hu woman and said with a smile, "Brother, I'm afraid you've found the wrong person for this matter. I'm just a deputy assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel who hasn't even taken up my post yet. I'm just a sesame seed or a mung bean, and I'm just a figurehead. For something like borrowing cannons, you should go to the barracks. Do you not know this person? How about this, I'll introduce you to a person, China's Great General Li Tai. Do you know him?! He's in charge of the army at the borders, and he has many of the Red Barbarian Cannons you want. You can find him directly. Give him a few ferghana horses and some beauties, and you'll have a way. "
Ashe Le smiled awkwardly. "Lord Lin, you must be joking. Old General Li Tai has been at war with us Turks for many years, so how could we not know each other? If we could go through with him, we wouldn't have come looking for you. "
Lin Wanrong harrumphed in his heart. These Turks weren't fools. They knew that China's greatest threat to them was the Red Barbarian Cannons. In the past, the Red Barbarian Cannons were bulky and cumbersome, making it extremely inconvenient to move around. However, things were different now. Under Lin Wanrong's guidance, Xu Wei had sent men to the French ironclad warships to learn how to use cannons. Furthermore, with Xu Zhiqing's miraculous improvements, not only were the cannons able to shoot further and more accurately, the cannons were also much more powerful. Even the size of the cannons had shrunk significantly, allowing them to be easily dragged away by two warhorses. The Turks were knowledgeable, and they knew that cannons posed the greatest threat to them. Thus, they tried to obtain one to study. However, there weren't many of the newly improved cannons, and Li Tai was personally in charge of it, preventing it from being leaked to the outside world. As such, they had never been able to obtain one.
"Brother, what do you need a cannon for? Didn't you Turks conquer the world on horseback? That cannon is so heavy that even two horses can't pull it, so there's no use for you to bring it back! "Lin Wanrong chuckled.
Lu Dongzan's eyes flashed and he nodded. "Lord Lin is right. We Turks are a people who ride on horseback, so these cannons aren't very useful to us. However, we've been strolling around the capital these past few days with nothing to do. It just so happened that Ashe Le told me that Lord Lin had invited him to watch a demonstration of cannons. Us brothers are rather interested, so we wanted to obtain a cannon to play with. Besides, there are many rabbits and wolves on this mountain, so it's perfect for us to hunt a few for fun. Just as Lord Lin said, the cannon is extremely heavy, and even two horses can't pull it, so you don't need to worry about us dragging it away. After we've played with it for a few days, we'll return it to you. In order to express our sincerity, Ashe has prepared four Turkic beauties to offer to Lord. "
What kind of person was Lin Wanrong? He was an ancestor of schemes and schemes. Seeing the twinkle in Ashe Le's eyes, Lin Wanrong knew that the latter had other plans. Lord Lin laughed heartily. "So the two of you want to borrow the cannons to hunt. As I said earlier, my words carry little weight, so there's nothing I can do about it! "
Lu Dongzan shook his head. "Lord is too modest. When you led the army to exterminate the White Lotus Sect in Shandong, the cannons made a great contribution and have great prestige in the army. As long as you say the word, there's nothing that can't be done. "
Damn it, the Hu are truly scheming. They've even investigated such matters. Seeing the eagerness in Ashe Le and Lu Dongzan's eyes, it was easy to imagine how excited they were to obtain the cannons. Lin Wanrong sighed awkwardly. "Brothers, you might not know this, but although I have quite a few close friends in the army, the cannons of the Godly Machine Battalion are all under Li Tai's control. However, Li Tai is now in charge of the Divine Strategy Battalion's cannons. You know this old man as well. He is very careful and cautious. Every day, he personally counts the number of cannons before he is willing to sleep. Even if I wanted to help, I could not.
Ashe Le and Lu Dongzan looked at each other. They hadn't expected that this Lord Lin, who looked greedy and lecherous on the outside, would suddenly become principled at a critical moment. It seemed that they still hadn't put in enough effort. The two looked at each other. Ashe Le gritted his teeth and took out a small cloth bag from his bosom. "Lord Lin, I'd like to show you something."
The small bag wasn't big, and it was also very light. It was impossible to tell what was inside. Ashe, on the other hand, treated it like a treasure. He carefully took it out and showed it to Lin Wanrong.
A faint, pungent smell wafted over. There was a strange fragrance amidst the bitterness, making one excited. Lin Wanrong closed her eyes and sniffed hard. The smell was familiar, but also strange at the same time.
"Lord, this is something good." Ashe Le licked his lips, a greedy light flashing in his eyes. It was as if he was holding a handful of shiny gold in his hands. Even the calm Lu Dongzan's eyes lit up, staring fixedly at the small bag without moving.
Ashe Le took out a small pot without water and slowly poured the contents of the small bag into it. Lin Wanrong could clearly see that it was a handful of withered yellow leaves that had been cut into thin strips. The faint, pungent smell grew stronger and stronger.
Without waiting for Lin Wanrong to take a closer look, Ashe Le closed the lid of the pot and smiled mysteriously at Lin Wanrong. He took a spark from the torch beside him and burned a piece of dried grass. He quickly threw it into the pot. After a while, a faint smoke slowly came out of the narrow mouth of the pot, and a familiar smell wafted over.
What, what was this thing? Lord Lin took a deep sniff, his face gradually turning solemn.
When Ashe Le and Lu Dongzan saw the smoke rising, they immediately became happy and pressed their noses to the mouth of the pot. After taking a deep sniff, they raised their heads and let out a long breath. Their expressions were carefree and unfettered, as if they had become immortals in the heavens.
"Lord Lin Wanrong, quickly take a sniff," Ashe Le eagerly said as he handed the small pot to Lin Wanrong.
Lin Wanrong took the small pot, his face darkening. He gripped the pot so tightly that he couldn't even feel the burning pain in his hand. Strange things happened every year, but this year, there were especially many. How could something that didn't even exist in China appear in the hands of the Turks?
He took a deep sniff from the mouth of the pot. The burning sensation made his nose sour and he couldn't help but cough a few times. Ashe Le and Lu Dongzan roared with laughter. Glancing at him, they proudly said, "Lord Lin, what do you think?"
Lin Wanrong gripped the small pot. After a moment of silence, he solemnly said, "Brother A, Brother Lu, where did this thing come from?!"
The two of them saw that he didn't ask for the name of the thing, but instead asked for its origin. They were shocked. Could it be that this mysterious Vice Assistant Minister had seen this thing before? That would be too miraculous!
The two of them looked at each other and Lu Dongzan praised, "Lord Lin, have you seen this Spicy Nose Grass before?"
"What grass?!!" Lord Lin's eyes widened as he loudly asked.
"Spicy Nose Grass!" Seeing Lord Lin's expression, Lu Dongzan smiled and said, "Oh, the name Spicy Nose Grass, I'm sure Lord has never heard of it before. This is our Turkic language, and your China definitely doesn't have this kind of Spicy Nose Grass. This Spicy Nose Grass grows in the south of our Turkic Khaganate, on the edge of the desert near China. It grows naturally, but its quantity is very small. It can only grow a few catties in a year. When our warriors and warhorses are injured or sick, sometimes so sick that they can't even walk properly, we blow the smoke of the Spicy Nose Grass into their nostrils, and their illness will be cured. Over time, everyone gets addicted to it, and they like the smell of the Spicy Nose Grass more and more. It's just that this Spicy Nose Grass is not easy to grow, and in the entire Turkic Khaganate, we can only find two to three catties a year. It's not wrong to say that it's priceless. These are the spoils of war that the Great Khan gave me five years ago when we exterminated Tiele, and I've kept them until now. Lord Lin, try it again, I guarantee that you will definitely like the Spicy Nose Grass. "
"Spicy Nose Grass, Spicy Nose Grass," Lin Wanrong muttered the name, and suddenly laughed, "Good, good, what a good Spicy Nose Grass. Your Turkic Khaganate is truly rich in resources. But remember, in the future, you can only call it Spicy Nose Grass, not tobacco, and even more so, tobacco. Otherwise, I won't let you off. "
"Lord, what does tobacco mean?" Lu Dongzan asked doubtfully.
"Tobacco is grass that gives off smoke. It doesn't sound as good as your Spicy Nose Grass." Lin Wanrong chuckled, "Brother, I say, you're too stingy. Just this little Spicy Nose Grass will be finished in two or three mouthfuls. Give me some more, I'll bring it back for my first wife, second wife, father-in-law, and mother-in-law to try it."
Seeing that Lord Lin was even more excited than touching a woman's thigh, the two of them immediately felt that something was amiss. Ashe Lei clenched his teeth and took out another handful of Spicy Nose Grass from the bag. Just as he was about to put it away, he saw Lord Lin stretch out his hand. Snatching the bag away, he smiled. "There's no need to be so polite, just give it to me together. I'll go back and find a few people to handle a small matter like dividing the bags. "
He had seen shameless people, but he had never seen someone this shameless. China must have produced a miracle to have found such a person to be an official. Seeing Lord Lin unceremoniously put the Spicy Nose Grass into his bag, Ashe Lei's heart was bleeding. His face twitched a few times, but he had no choice but to put on a smile and say, "Although this Spicy Nose Grass is incomparably precious, since Lord likes it, Ashe Lei will naturally give it to you. But the matter of borrowing cannons … "
Sir Lin accepted the gift, patting his chest with dang dang sounds. He laughed loudly and said, "No problem! Forget about cannons, even if it's a plane, I can get it for you. Brother Lu, this little brother still has something to ask. "
Seeing Lord Lin agree so readily, the two of them were overjoyed. Lu Dongzan hurriedly said, "Lord Lin, please speak. Lu Dongzan will definitely tell you everything I know."
Lord Lin chuckled. "Brother Lu, you're very knowledgeable, you must know how to write."
"Of course." Lu Dongzan smiled. "There's no need for me to speak the Turkic language, I can even write quite a bit in Chinese."
"Wow, I didn't expect Brother Lu to be so capable, you can even write our Chinese characters!" Lord Lin clapped his hands and smiled. "Then can Brother Lu draw the border between our two countries? Ai, I've been reading too much recently, I've even forgotten where the border is. I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed! "
Damn it, does this person still have any sense of shame?! Ashe Le's Spicy Nose Grass was snatched away by Lord Lin, it was like cutting off half a jin of flesh from his body.
"That's easy!" Lu Dongzan said with a smile. He took out a piece of charcoal and started drawing on the carpet in the tent.
"Lord, please take a look. This is Ulan Ude, this is Irkutsk, and between them is Lake Baikal. This place originally belonged to the Tie Lei and Khitan tribes. Later on, these two tribes were destroyed by my people, so this area is now ours. To the south is the Selange River and Chekere Lege, which we obtained after destroying Huihe. Running along the Golden Mountain (Altai Mountains) from east to west, north to Ustykut, these are all Turkic territories. If there's a border between our two countries, then it's here for the time being. We call it Balikun, and you call it Yiwu. " Lu Dongzan was indeed worthy of being the state teacher of the Turkic Empire. He drew a map and in just a few minutes, he had marked out the territories of the Turkic Empire and China.
Hearing this, Lord Lin felt a headache coming on. He shook his head and said: "What pervert, what carriage, and what pants, these names are really good. Brother Lu, you Turkic people are really cultured. "
Lu Dongzan nodded and said with a smile: "Of course. Our Turkic land straddles the two extremes of the desert and the steppe, and there are many nomadic tribes. Just the Tie Lei and Khitan tribes were originally stronger than us. If we Turkic people don't have some real ability, how could we occupy such a large area and make all the tribes submit? "
Submit? Submit my ass, who are you trying to fool? Ethnic issues are the most difficult to deal with. When the time comes, they will rebel, and you will suffer. Lord Lin nodded and praised: "You have ability, you really do have ability. Brother Lu, is this the Golden Mountain you spoke of? "
"Not the Golden Mountain, it's the Golden Mountain." Lu Dongzan corrected.
"Brother Lu is really knowledgeable. If I remember correctly, this Golden Mountain belongs to my China." Lord Lin said with a smile. This is what you get for trying to fool me, this daddy has been singing 'On the Golden Mountain of Beijing' since I was young, when did it become your Turkic people's turn to occupy the Golden Mountain?
Lu Dongzan saw that Lord Lin's understanding of the geography of China and the Turkic Khaganate was a complete mess. He had thought that Lord Lin was clueless about the geography of the Turkic Khaganate and scoffed at him. When he heard that the Golden Mountain belonged to China, his heart couldn't help but shiver. The Turkic Khaganate and China had been at war for many years, with the Golden Mountain as the border. It was only in recent years that the Turkic Khaganate destroyed the other powers in the north, that they broke through the Golden Mountain and invaded the Yiwu and Ejina frontlines. This brat was able to say that the Golden Mountain belonged to China, it seemed like he wasn't someone without common sense.
"This, it's normal for two countries to have dealings with each other." Lu Dongzan praised.
"Dealings with each other?!" Lord Lin chuckled: "Oh, that's right, Brother Lu, where does your Spicy Nose Grass grow?"
"Between Kebudo and Altaic, it's this position!" Lu Dongzan pointed at the map and asked curiously: "Lord Lin, why are you asking this?"
"Oh, it's nothing. Perhaps one day, I'll also come to Kebudo and have dealings with you. "Lord Lin chuckled and said in an unserious manner.
"Welcome, welcome, welcome Lord Lin to my Kebudo as a guest." Ashe clenched his teeth and smiled: "Lord Lin, about that cannon — —"
"Well, leave it to me. I'll let you know once it's done. Sage Li and the others also need some time to research it — — "Lord Lin muttered to himself.
"Lord, what research?" Ashe asked in confusion.
"Oh, I'm talking about getting the newest cannon for you so that you can hunt to your heart's content. As long as you don't fire it at our Imperial Palace, it's fine." Lord Lin's smile didn't reach his eyes, but his words made the two Turkic envoys feel a chill.
Ashe and Lu Dongzan both had a strange feeling. This Lord Lin had entered the Turkic tent as if he was at home, eating what he wanted, touching what he wanted, and taking what he wanted without the slightest bit of politeness. He had taken all the benefits, but as for what he had promised, neither of them could be sure. Just who was playing who? The two of them were confused.
As the sun set in the west, Lord Lin burped, groping the chest of a charming Hu woman, and then gripping the 'Spicy Nose Grass' that Ashe regarded as his life, he galloped away.
"Shameless! Shameless! Filthy rabbit shit! " Seeing Lord Lin's confident back, Ashe could no longer suppress his anger. With a clatter, he pulled out his saber and roared: "Lu Dongzan, I really want to chop him down!"
Lu Dongzan sternly said: "Ashe, don't be impulsive. Did he reject the women you gave him? "
Ashe snorted. "He didn't want them, but he kissed and touched them, taking all the advantages. These are all concubines in my tent!"
"This person isn't simple!! Ashe, I hope that you and I didn't make an error in judgment! "Lu Dongzan softly said.
"Not simple my ass. If I ever go to the battlefield, I'll definitely cut down this brat first." Ashe snorted, and then said: "Lu Dongzan, should we continue to interact with the other side?"
"Yes! And we have to hurry! We have to hurry! " Gazing at Lin Wanrong's departing back, Lu Dongzan lightly sighed: "I have a bad premonition. This Lin San will be a big problem for us!"
