C1064 Gift

In 1868, the year of Wenchen Dragon. When the news of Xiao Letian holding a grand New Year banquet in the Ryukyu spread out, all the high officials under the Prime Minister's curtain stirred.

A telegram was sent out to all parts of Asia. It was only two months until the New Year, and there seemed to be plenty of traffic in the nineteenth century, but it was far behind schedule. Many of the Ryukyu officials working in the Midwest of Southwest, India, and Great Qing had to plan their return home in advance.

Xiao Letian's attitude towards this banquet was extremely clear. As long as all the people in charge were gathered, from 1865, when Xiao Letian was Prime Minister of Ryukyu, there had not been a gathering of all the higher-ups in the past three years. This New Year's Meet would immediately shake up the entire Ryukyu's forces.

Shang Tai had been drilling around the Shouli City warehouse like a mouse for the past three days. The Head Elder who was in charge of the warehouse knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I have already confessed, and I am greedy for twenty taels of gold! I'll return it tomorrow. For the sake of this old subject serving you all my life, please spare me. "Wuu!" With that, the head minister cried as hard as he could.

"Shut up! Shut up! What nonsense, I am looking for a New Year gift for Shang Fu's big banquet! "How did you get hooked up with checking accounts …"

The old official on his knees heard "Ah?" Your Majesty, are you looking for a gift? If I had told you earlier, you would have scared me to death … This old official is familiar with this work, there are no treasures in this treasury that I do not know about! "

After many twists and turns, the Head Elder brought Shang Tai to a corner and took out an object wrapped in bright yellow silk out of a black wood, which was inside a Shark's skin and horns box.

Looking at the faded silk, even the dry edges seemed to show signs of eroding. Opening the satin, a bright yellow jade ring was revealed, and on the concentric ring were carved two rain dragons.

"Your Majesty, this is one of the gifts bestowed by the Ryukyu to Emperor Hong Wu after he handed the letter to Emperor Da Ming. Our Ryukyu has been hoarding this jade for more than four hundred years, and it is said that this jade was originally a treasure from the Song Dynasty, it is extremely precious …"

"Look, there are six years' worth of names in the inner circle of the Jade Ring! There were still eight years of Hong Wu's moniker here … Such a treasure would definitely be worthy of the Prime Minister's credit! "

Shang Tai was overjoyed upon hearing this. "Good, good, good … This item is very good, without Shang Fu, there would be no Ryukyu. I am afraid we would have long been annihilated by the Japanese, as the significance of Shang Fu for the Ryukyu is equivalent to that of Emperor Hong Wu bestowing the Ryukyu. This item is the best gift to Shang Fu … "

Shang Tai walked out of the treasury while holding onto a jade ring. Just when the head minister let out a long breath and thought that he had succeeded in passing, he didn't expect Shang Tai to say this without even turning his head back.

"It's about time for this coffer room to be filled with gold. Remember to bring the gold weapons back later. Confess and defend, this is Shang Fu's teachings …"

"Huh?" The head minister's legs gave way and he sat on the doorframe.

He was not the only one who was preparing gifts like, all of the higher ups under Xiao Letian's command had started to move, even Dragon Lord who was in the dark of the mountain had left their hiding place and were preparing to return to Ryukyu to participate in this extremely important banquet.

In the midst of the goose feathers blizzard, more than three hundred soldiers in white camouflage clothes were lurking at the edge of the forest. Inside the Dragon Lord's telescope, a log town stood beside a frozen river.

old ginseng head laid down beside Dragon Lord and said in a low voice, "It's here, the wolf pens camp. There is a company of Russian stationed there. "Pfft, it's this dead chicken. It robbed my village in the summer, and the best ginseng I have kept was taken away by him …"

"Sir!" Let's pull out this nail, I want this dead chicken's head, you can bring it to the Ryukyu as a New Year gift for the Prime Minister! "When the time comes, our men on the other side of the pass will still have to show our filial piety …"

"Prime Minister, you brought us to get revenge, and even gave us so many Gun, we must have some good intentions too!"

Dragon Lord smiled, "I heard that your Ginseng King is a thousand years old, are you willing to part with it?"

"Hey …" Master, aren't you joking? That thousand-year-old ginseng had already become a spirit. How could I dig it up? "Actually, it's only about four hundred years old. However, in this white mountain and in this black water, four hundred years old Ginseng is definitely considered a ginseng king. It's not that I'm bragging, but you really can't find such a good appearance …"

"Alright, I'll take it. I won't be polite with you. With your kind intentions, in the future when you're smiling …" Everyone, stay in ambush. Eat some chocolate to replenish your energy.

It was impossible for you to experience just how cold it was in the Far East. During the day, it was around -20 degrees celsius, and at night, it was over -40 degrees celsius. Even the locals would not go out in such a harsh climate, so the s at the sentry post never expected that there would be a sneak attack at this time.

Bear skin, wolf skin, lamb skin, and boots were stuffed with Ural grass. He had a large quantity of high-calorie chocolates in his pockets and a bottle of liquor for each of them.

His face was covered by a thick dog fur hat, revealing only his eyes. Any exposed skin would be covered with raccoon oil to protect it from freezing, and at the end, it would be covered with a pure white camouflage cloak.

Despite the tight security, more than fifty soldiers were severely wounded by the cold. However, that was only after the battle. No one had any intention of retreating.

The Orenechun hunters and Narcissus warriors who followed were all stunned. They did not expect the Han Chinese from the south to be so tough. Didn't they say the southerners were weak? Why is it that all the men I see are pure men, true men!

After seven o'clock, the spies began to move. They slowly crawled towards the stronghold in order to prevent the snow from making any noise. Every step they took was a minute's time.

After climbing a few meters and stopping to make sure there was no danger, they continued to climb forward. It took them a whole hour to get close to the camp.

In such cold weather, even Russian knew how to be lazy. There were no sentries on the wall, only the lights of mining lamps on the watchful wooden pagoda. Russian Army who was on duty had drank an unknown amount of vodka and was napping with his rifle.

The snipers used their flying claws to climb up the logs, while a few nimble figures jumped into the wall like a leopard cat. When the dogs inside the camp started barking, it was already too late.

Two hours later, the battle ended. The three hundred volunteers quickly took care of the more than a hundred Russian Army s. The dead chicken who was disoriented while wearing pajamas was dragged into the snow, shivering.

old ginseng head cried as he pulled out a knife and slashed at his shoulder, "F * ck your mother, steal my food, steal my ginseng …" You ruined my daughter-in-law! Do you want to die? "Dream on …"

The Dragon Lord sighed and shook his head. He did not care about the old ginseng head, as the entire camp was filled with the screams of dead chickens. He did not know whether he had cut a hundred or two hundred blades, but the old ginseng head had tortured him for an hour and a half before he finally stopped.

At this time, Dragon Lord had already found the ginseng king. The red silk package was inside a beautiful wooden box, its long roots really did look like a longevity star's beard.

"Good, good, good. We can finally take out the New Year's gift for the Prime Minister! "The brothers swept the battlefield and set the camp on fire …"

"We will go count the military exploits. The ten brothers who have contributed the most will return with me to the Ryukyu and pay respects to the prime minister!"
