Chapter 125: Being Too Clever, but Making Things Worse

A sneeze——

Ah sneeze!

While the army was marching, Chen Huaian, the king of Jin, who was riding on horseback, sneezed several times in succession, which puzzled him.

He thought to himself: I have neither a cold nor a cold, so why am I sneezing all over the place?

Could it be that someone is talking about me behind my back?

"Reporting to His Highness the King of Jin—"

The words of Ahmet, the Uighur envoy, brought Chen Huaian's thoughts back to reality.

I saw the latter saying respectfully: "Your Highness, we have now entered the Orkhon River Basin of the Uighur Khanate. Less than a hundred miles further to the west, we will arrive at the territory of the capital of Uighur, Harabalegas."

"The minister has sent messengers to Harabalegas to report to the Yingwu Khan, so that the princes, nobles, and military subjects in Harabalegas City can be prepared to welcome His Highness the King of Jin and the Dragon City army to enter the city."

With that said, Ahmet continued with a somewhat pleading tone: "I boldly request Your Highness to lead the army to rest and recuperate near the Orkhon River, and then go to the city of Harabalegas in three days!"

"because--"

"Because, our Yingwu Khan said that His Royal Highness the King of Jin came all the way with the Dragon City army and is the most distinguished guest of our Uighur Khanate. The Yingwu Khan and the soldiers and civilians in Harabalegas City should treat him with the grandest and most solemn ceremony. Ceremony to welcome His Royal Highness the King of Jin and the officers and soldiers of the Dragon City Army into the city!"

"Yes, it will take a little time to prepare for the relevant welcome ceremony. I hope His Highness King Jin will give me permission!"

After saying that, Ahmet knelt down and worshiped Chen Huaian.

Out of the corner of his eye, he was peeking at Chen Huaian's reaction.

Obviously, Ahmat's excuse that it would take three days to prepare for the welcome ceremony was clearly a pretense.

In fact, this was a long-awaited attempt by the Yingwu Khan to buy 500 beautiful young men in the city of Harabalegas and present them to His Highness the King of Jin to buy time.

How could Chen Huaian know, being kept in the dark?

He just said a joke about resisting the marriage with Princess Bijia, but under the secret speculation of Ahmet, the Uighur envoy, it turned out that the king of Jin was like Longyang?

It was even more so that Yingwu Khan took the time to believe the rumors, and even took practical actions to do what he wanted.

As a result, this unprovoked incident has developed to the point where the Huihe Khanate is now using all its strength just to please His Highness the King of Jin.

At this time, Chen Huaian, who was riding on horseback, finally agreed to Ahmet's request.

"Ahmat, this king is sure!"

Then, he ordered: "Xiao Po, pass the order and the army will rest where it is for three days!"

"The general will get the order!"

In this way, Jin King Chen Huaian personally led a hundred thousand Dragon City army, camped in the Orkhon River area less than a hundred miles away from the Uighur Khanate, and settled down to rest.

Two days later.

The other Dragon City army, which marched along the Kherulun River and conquered more than 20 cities of the Uighur Khanate, was also stationed less than a hundred miles away from the Uighur capital under the leadership of General Lan Yu.

Lan Yu took hundreds of soldiers and went straight to the Orkhon River area to meet Jin Wang Chen Huaian in the Chinese army's tent.

That night.

Jin King Chen Huaian held a banquet in the Chinese army's tent to reward the generals of the Dragon City army.

The Uighur envoy Ahemati accompanied him, which was considered as a sign of the landlord's friendship.

The banquet follows the local customs, eating hand-caught mutton and drinking mare's milk liquor.

During the banquet, General Lan Yu, who was very drunk and blushing, insisted on using the power of alcohol to perform a wrestling dance for all the generals, saying that he learned it from a wrestling king of the Uighur Khanate.

Chen Huaian, who was sitting in the center of the tent, was happy to see his generals gathering together happily.

With a wave of his hand, Lan Yu's request was granted.

Moreover, the brave general Pang Xianchu, who had accompanied the late king Chen Polu on two expeditions to the Western Regions and knew a thing or two about drums and bowls, the musical instrument of the Western Regions, was asked to personally play drums and accompany Lan Yu.

Boom, boom!

Along with the cheerful drum beat, Lan Yu, who was drunk, began to sing and dance in the big tent.

It should be said that Lan Yu has a burly image of a rough man, and dances a rough and heroic wrestling dance. Every move is quite similar, and it seems like that.

However, his solo dance seemed a bit lacking in momentum.

This scene immediately made the accompanying Uighur envoy Ahmat realize that the time was ripe.

Then, he stood up and came to the side of Jin Wang Chen Huaian, and said respectfully: "Your Highness, Jin Wang, I have a few Uighurs who are good at singing, dancing, and proficient in musical instruments."

"Do you want them to sing and dance to entertain His Highness and the generals?"

Um?

Hearing this, Chen Huaian raised his eyebrows, and for no reason, the scene of an exotic beauty wearing a gauze, twisting her neck and belly dancing appeared in his mind.

Then, he nodded reservedly and said, "This is a very good move!"

"The generals under my command have been fighting all the way here. They have been fighting for such a long time. It's time for them to relax and enjoy themselves!"

"Ahmat, go make arrangements!"

"I obey my orders!"

Soon, a burst of cheerful musical instruments sounded, which immediately attracted a group of Dragon City generals who were drinking and having fun in the big tent. They stopped their movements and looked outside the big tent.

In particular, Pang Xianchu, a brave general who had two expeditions to the Western Regions, pricked up his ears and listened to the sound of musical instruments, and knew that it was time for the beauties from the Western Regions to come on stage to dance.

Because of the alcohol, even Pang Xianchu, who was always serious and rigid, was looking forward to the next song and dance session.

Chen Huaian was fine. After all, short videos had already become popular all over the world before he traveled through time. With the blessing of a series of special effects, he had seen all kinds of beauties.

After traveling through the Great Xin Dynasty, as a prince, his experience was far beyond the rough men and generals under his command.

The only thing that could arouse his interest was to compare the belly dance of the Western Regions a thousand years ago with the belly dance of a thousand years later.

After a while, the "dancer" appeared.

However, the "dancer" who walked into the central army tent with a cheerful pace and danced gracefully surprised the Dragon City generals present.

Especially the general Lan Yu, who almost stood up and shouted: What kind of shitty Western Region beauty is this, the enchanting dancer?

Because the people who appeared in the tent singing and dancing were all young Huihe men.

They all looked pretty and handsome, and they danced very hard.

But——

This room is full of rough men, and they are drunk and drunk. You let them watch a group of male dancers dancing?

The effect is no less than letting eunuchs go to a brothel.

If it weren't for the fact that Jin Wang Chen Huaian was also sitting in the tent, the drunken General Lan Yu would have overturned the table long ago, and even cut off Ahmaiti's pig head to use as a chamber pot.

Pang Xianchu, Fan Wuji and others no longer had the interest to appreciate the dance, and they drank alone.

Chen Huaian was also very puzzled. How could this be completely different from the exotic dance that this king had imagined?

However, in order to maintain the demeanor and aura of a superior, Chen Huaian naturally could not say anything in front of his subordinates.

Instead, he held a wine glass and found Lan Yu, Pang Xianchu and others to clink glasses and drink, and chat and gossip.

After that, he never looked at the Huihe male dancers who were singing and dancing in the big tent.

Suddenly, the noise of drinking and playing finger-guessing games in the big tent, as well as the accompaniment of the Huihe males singing and dancing, were clearly separated and out of tune in the huge tent.

Only Ahamaiti, who was a Huihe envoy and had presumptuously speculated that Jin Wang Chen Huaian had a preference for men, was alone in the big tent.

He muttered in his heart with a confused look on his face: "What's going on? Doesn't His Royal Highness Jin Wang like young male dancers?"

"Could it be that he likes older warriors?"

Fortunately, Chen Huaian couldn't hear Ahamaiti's voice.

Otherwise, Ahamaiti, who was so smart, would definitely not see the rising sun tomorrow!
