Chapter 685: Entering the Cottage
"Okay, you can come in!"
After deliberation, the voice of the leader rang out from the tower: "But you must put down your weapons!" ”
"Put down your weapons? No problem. Li Tai smiled faintly.
"Your Highness, no!" Li Zhong hurriedly stood up and said, "Your Highness, not at this time!" ”
"Your Highness, this matter must not be allowed!"
"Your Highness, this is the Longtan Tiger's Den ahead, if they don't have a weapon for self-defense, what can they do if they start to make it difficult?"
"If there are no weapons, how can we protect Your Highness?"
“……”
The people next to him hurriedly said.
Although everyone looks down on ethnic groups other than the Han Chinese, they are not arrogant enough to enter the barbarian cottage without weapons.
As soon as you look at the people in the walled city, you know that these people are not easy to mess with.
"Do you think that if they have bad intentions towards us, even if we enter their cottage with weapons, we will be able to get out of the way?" Li Tai smiled faintly and said, "Although the ants are small, they can bite the elephant to death if they have more." ”
"What's more, these people have fought against enemies and beasts in the mountains, even if we really hold extremely sharp blades, they swarm up, and we will not escape death."
"Unless, we can all have a Gatling." Li Tai said lightly, looking like he had put life and death out of the way.
It makes people feel that this is a bold hero, which is admirable.
In fact, Li Tai understands that these people don't dare to treat themselves well, but will treat themselves with delicious food and drink.
After all, the one standing behind him is the entire Datang, and no matter how stupid a person is, it is best not to provoke Datang at this time.
The strength of Datang can make the country more stable.
"Lay down your arms." Li Tai said lightly.
"Yes!"
"Whoa!"
“……”
Although everyone was very unwilling, they still put the weapons in their hands on the ground.
"Let the army of Datang take a hundred steps back!"
Another shout came from the castle tower.
"A hundred steps back." Li Tai said.
Then, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty retreated like a tide.
The people on the city tower looked at Datang's side and sighed secretly.
With such a strong soldier, why worry about the Tang Dynasty!
"Squeak squeak squeak......"
The door of the walled city slowly opened, and Li Tai rode a donkey and took Li Zhong and others into the walled city.
The people on the city tower held the bows and arrows in their hands tightly, if the Tang army took the opportunity to attack the stockade, then let the arrows stop it.
Walking into the city gate, a piece of stilted buildings of different heights and wooden institutions appear in sight, the stilted buildings are scattered, and a road made of bluestone slabs extends into the distance, it can be seen that there are many shops on both sides of the road.
Obviously, this is a prosperous small city in Xiangxi.
There is a rustic smell in the air.
"Good...... There are a lot of houses, all over the mountains, all houses, this ...... This has to be a small town, right? Li Zhong couldn't help but say.
I've seen a lot of towns, but it's the first time I've seen such a big Zhuangzi.
"This is a big cottage of Wuxi, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a small city." Li Tai said lightly.
At this time, the clan leaders of those Wuxi people walked over, with a hint of gloom on their faces, obviously not having much good impression of the Tang people.
But also, the army of the Tang Dynasty is overwhelmed, so it's strange to have a good impression.
"Tai has met all of you." Li Tai smiled slightly and took a step forward.
These people are older than Li Tai, and some of them are already seventy or eighty years old, and Datang is a country that respects the old and loves the young.
If you can pull in, then pull in.
If you really can't win over, then fight.
In the future, everyone is a family, so if you can not fight, then you will not fight.
Li Tai is still very friendly to many Chinese ethnic groups living in this land, and there is no regional discrimination from ancient people, because everyone is a family.
Moreover, most of these people are descendants of Jiuli, and Chi You was the one who competed with Emperor Yan and Huang for the world, maybe there was still a small part of Jiuli blood in his blood.
What's more, every time the Tang Dynasty fights abroad, it has to kill cattle and sacrifice Chiyou.
Chiyou is the lord of the world's soldiers, sacrificing Chiyou and praying for victory.
"I don't know what you call them?" Li Tai asked kindly.
"Long Mengjiang!" Said the man at the head.
"Yang Tianci!"
"Shang Dutian."
"White-blue!"
“……”
Dozens of people spoke one after another.
The Wuxi people also have their own tribal names, and after the increase in contact and exchanges with the Han people, most of them have a Chinese name, and they have been pseudonyms since the Eastern Han Dynasty.
For example, Long Mengjiang, whose Miao name is Mengjiang.
Of course, not everyone has a Han surname, after all, some people have never had contact with the outside world in their lives, especially some tribes in the deep mountains and old forests, who have never left the scope of their tribe for generations.
However, those who can be leaders will have a Han name, because generally the big village will have a connection with the merchants of the Central Plains and the local government, and it is much more convenient to have a Han name.
"Guys, I've already come in, why don't you let me go and see my brother first, and we'll talk about the rest in the evening?" Li Tai said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
This suddenly increased a lot of goodwill.
"Yes." Long Mengjiang nodded, and then asked one of his attendants to take Li Tai towards the courtyard where the Tang people lived.
"What do you think of this prince of the Tang Dynasty?" Long Mengjiang stared at Li Tai's tall back and asked everyone around him.
"Is he really the prince of the Tang Dynasty?" Bai Lan looked at Li Tai's back, and there was a hint of doubt in his eyes.
"What do you mean by this, could it be that he is a fake?" Yang Tianci asked, his brows furrowed tightly, could it be that this Tang Dynasty sent a fake prince to fool everyone?
If so, what attention did the Tang Dynasty pay attention to?
"No, it shouldn't, the Tang people pay a lot of attention to identity, and the prince who pretends to be the prince of the Tang Dynasty is going to cut off his head." Bai Lan smiled and said, "I think he doesn't look like a prince, let alone a Tang man." ”
"The Tang Dynasty has a lot of dealings with us, they have always regarded themselves very highly, and they never look at us properly, such as the little white-faced prince, since he entered the cottage, he is all arrogant and arrogant in the world, and he really thinks he is the master of the world?"
"Looking at this prince, we don't see a little pride in him, humility, peace, and no trace of looking down on us." Bai Lan's brows furrowed slightly: "In short, he is different from the Tang people we met. ”
"Well, it's not the same."
"He is much more courageous than ordinary Tang people."
"He didn't underestimate us."
"It's very different."
“……”
The people next to him also spoke.
"You mean, he's pretending?" Yang Tianci's brows furrowed even tighter.
"Hmph, whether it's pretending to be or not, I'll understand if I try it tonight." General Long Meng said with a cold smile.
