Chapter 4 The Secret Recipe

Zhang Qian knew that what he said just now was very heavy and touched the most painful past of the Yuezhi people. He did not want to irritate the Great Yuezhi Queen in this way.

Zhang Qian hurriedly said, "Queen, I'm sorry, I'm just..."

The Queen of the Great Yuezhi turned around and said, "I know what the nobles mean, but I can't make decisions about such major issues as war. I need to discuss with the elders before I can decide."

Alas, this is clearly a perfunctory sentence, it is just a way out for Zhang Qian.

Anuti was also a little helpless. Although his heart was the heart of the Han family, he was unfortunately unable to help himself... His own people were slight and wanted to speak, but they didn't know why.

"His Highness." Zhang Qian stepped forward: "How much did the Emperor of the Han Dynasty hope to form an alliance with your country. The emperor hoped that after we defeated the Huns, your country could return to Qilian and become friendly neighbors with the Han Dynasty for generations."

Anuti looked at the queen, and saw that the queen behind the gauze looked calm and said lightly: "Thank you for your sincerity. I just said that major events like attacking the Huns and exerting the power of the entire clan are related to the future and destiny of the Yuezhi Kingdom. I must discuss with the princes and elders."

"I also want to be neighbors with the Han Dynasty for generations and live together. Qin's prosperity and wealth are still unforgettable. I hope that the princes and elders can be the same as I thought, but they live in Hemo City, Shuangmi City, Bo Yu City and Gaofu City respectively."

This is the capital where Wuxihou is located.

The Great Yuezhi Kingdom gradually evolved from slavery to the front. To use a later generation to describe the current situation of the Great Yuezhi, it was a relatively loose federal system.

The Queen of the Great Yuezhi is the supreme commander of the country, but she is also influenced by the Wuxihou and other elders and nobles.

"It takes one month for us to hold a state meeting every time. I will hold a state meeting in a month. If it is convenient for you, please come and attend the audience."

"Zhang Qian is honored." Zhang Qian said: "I hope the queen will talk to all the princes and elders before the meeting."

"They will speak their opinions at the meeting!" said the Queen: "But they are ashamed of changing their opinions."

On the outside, the Queen of the Great Yuezhi appeared to be enthusiastic, but she had already become biased. He was unwilling to slash his sword, which was in line with human nature. Anuti thought that he was sitting in that position, and probably had a similar attitude.

But for Zhang Qian, the result was a bit bad.

He was born in poverty and wanted to shine his family and make a name for himself. So when Emperor Wu of Han summoned his envoy to the Western Regions, he signed up without hesitation.

For the Han Dynasty, whether there are any people in the Western Regions is an unsolved mystery. No one has ever explored the west place before.

So, no one competes with Zhang Qian...

During the ten years of the Huns, during the Han Festival every day, Zhang Qian always looked silently at the southwest corner, which was his destination.

Unfortunately, this ending happened.

Anuti looked at Zhang Qian. Zhang Qian was calm and calm, without losing or despair. Instead, he raised his hands and said, "Since that's the case, there is still one month left, Queen! Zhang Qian still has something to ask for."

"Please say it!"

Zhang Qian took out a small bag from his arms and opened it and said, "This is the additive material I got from the Huns for making fine steel. I want to invite the queen..."

Anuti's eyes lit up. Zhang Qian went on a mission to the Western Regions and brought back many things from the Western Regions. There was one thing that greatly improved the steel craftsmanship of the Han Dynasty.

Is it the thing in front of you?

The knife Anuti usually uses is also good, but it is not clear how it is forged. When the TV series "The Emperor Wu of Han" started, it caused controversy.

Some people say that the black additive in the TV is a catalyst or penetrant, which can greatly improve the forging of steel and strengthen the decarbonization of steel ingots.

Some people also argue that the black additive is Jinsi Fan. Jinsi Fan is not a black additive for the Vajra refining technology. According to ancient documents, it does not have the function of "making steel with it, which can produce cold light."

It is a kind of thing used to distinguish whether it is iron or not.

"If the iron comes out of Xifan, there are spiral snails on the surface, and there are sesame and snowflakes. If the sword is polished, use gold silk and alum, the flowers will be seen. The price is even more than silver. The ancient saying is 'Knowing iron is as strong as knowing gold'. The counterfeiter is black flowers, so it should be carefully examined."

No matter which aspect of the argument, one thing can be explained, the Western Regions sword is better than the big Han sword.

Anuti remembers that the famous Damascus knife in the future seems to be steel from Persia and India.

That means India's iron is of good quality?

Anuti thought in detail that it would be better to let them go, and it would be better to put them in their arms one day.

"The nobles are so thoughtful! I will ask the craftsmen to tell you the secret recipe."

"Thank you Queen." Zhang Qian said happily.

One of the tasks to the Western Regions is also to find a treasure sword.

That year, Daxing ordered Wang Hui to present a Hun scimitar to Emperor Wu of Han. It was extremely sharp and worth too much gold and silver.

However, such a treasure sword was not available in the Han Dynasty and the Huns, but was introduced into the Huns from the Western Regions.

As long as he brings this secret recipe back, he will fulfill his mission.

With this secret recipe, the weapons of the Han Dynasty will rise to a higher level and their lethality will greatly increase. In an exaggerated sentence, it is described: "It is important to look at the national destiny of the Han Empire, and it is even related to the future and destiny of the entire Han nation."

"Anuti." The queen turned her head and said.

Anuti immediately clasped his fists and said, "I am here."

"Since it is the Han envoy you brought here, you will receive the noble Han envoy for me in the next time, and you must not neglect it."

"Yes, Queen."

This is exactly what Anuti wants, and he also wants to establish a relationship with Zhang Qian and make a big return on investment soon.

Although he is not licked by his identity, he must be welcomed by his own Chinese character.

Furthermore, the Western Regions will sooner or later become a great man, and this friendship will be great by then.

"The southern bank of Guishui is richer, and people from all over the world meet there, strange and unparalleled products. If you want to go and see it when you are expensive, you can ask Anuti to take you there." The Queen of the Great Yuezhi said: "Anuti is one of my Great Yuezhi warriors. With his protection, I believe you will not have any problems here."

Anuti turned her head and glanced at the Queen of the Great Yuezhi. Since Zhang Qian could go to the south, she must protect her entourage. In this way, wouldn’t she be quite free from the hostage identity?

Well~ I will quickly take them to the south, and Zhang Qian is his great lucky star.

Zhang Qian met Anuti's hot gaze and had goose bumps on his body. He had seen many Hu people who love male style. Could it be?
