Han Khan

Chapter 153

Zhang Sheng suddenly remembered the Dongbula "Black Horse Racing" that he learned from an old herdsman in his previous life. He felt that it was so appropriate at this moment, with the crowds of people and horses neighing.

His eyes became deep, as if he had traveled through time and space back to the days on the grassland. He decided to play this song to let people feel the charm of the grassland.

He immediately called a soldier and asked him to find a huqin that he could hold in his arms and play. The soldier left quickly, leaving Zhang Sheng waiting quietly.

Not long after, Boniek came running over with a rough-looking huqin in his hand. He handed it to Zhang Sheng with expectation in his eyes.

Zhang Sheng took the huqin and examined it carefully. It looked very different from the dombra, and it was not played by strings, but by bows.

But this did not bother Zhang Sheng, because he also knew another very popular song "Border"

Under everyone's gaze, Zhang Sheng picked up the huqin and began to tune the strings. As his fingers plucked the strings, the melodious sound of the huqin gradually rang out. The beautiful melody was like the sound of nature, intoxicating people.

Zhang Sheng closed his eyes and immersed himself in the music. His thoughts drifted far away, as if he saw the vast grassland and felt the freedom and tranquility there. His fingers danced flexibly on the strings, and every time he plucked the strings, he was filled with deep emotion.

Everyone was attracted by the moving music, they listened quietly and felt the beauty in the music. At this moment, time seemed to stop flowing, and the whole world was enveloped by this wonderful music.

Zhang Sheng lowered his head and pulled the bowstring in his hand, but the beautiful music never stopped. Everyone around the campfire looked at him quietly.

At this moment, Zhang Sheng seemed to have become a lonely performer, immersed in his own world. His eyes were focused and determined, as if he had poured all his emotions into the bowstring.

The Hu people looked at their leader in surprise. They didn't expect that he could play such beautiful music with the horse-head fiddle.

They had never heard this song before, but they were deeply moved. They felt a kind of power and emotion from the depths of the grassland, as if they saw the vast grassland, the galloping horses and the heroic herdsmen.

The Jin Han people, who were born in the Tang Dynasty, feel the beauty of music more from the music itself. Although they cannot fully understand the deep meaning of the music, it does not affect their appreciation of music. They are intoxicated by the melodious melody, and their thoughts drift with the notes, as if they are in a peaceful and beautiful world.

The most dazzling person in the crowd is undoubtedly Sarah, who has a pretty and tall figure. She is wearing a red long skirt with many different patterns. The hem of her skirt flutters in the wind, showing a unique charm.

Originally, she was looking at Zhang Sheng with surprise, with a gleam in her eyes and a faint smile on her lips.

However, at this moment, Zhang Sheng suddenly raised his head and his eyes met Sarah's. He smiled and nodded to Sarah, as if inviting her to join the feast.

Sarah's cheeks flushed instantly, and she responded to Zhang Sheng's gaze shyly but happily.

As Zhang Sheng's fingers danced lightly on the piano keys, melodious melody flowed out like a clear spring, surrounding the entire camp.

Sarah danced lightly, like a graceful swan, circling, leaping and dancing gracefully.

Her dancing is agile and graceful, and every movement is full of rhythm and tempo.

Many women and children were attracted by Sarah's dance. They gathered around and admired the beautiful scene intently.

Some children excitedly followed Sarah's rhythm, dancing and enjoying the happy moment.

At this moment, the whole camp was immersed in a sea of ​​joy. People forgot all their worries and indulged in the world of music and dance.

Zhang Sheng's piano music accompanied by Sarah's dancing became the most moving scenery of the night.

At this time, Sarah jumped to Zhang Sheng's side, holding up her skirt with one hand, dancing lightly like a beautiful butterfly.

Her dancing posture was graceful and agile, and every movement was full of rhythm and rhythm. Her slender fingers gently brushed the hem of her skirt, as if playing a silent piece of music.

Sarah looked at Zhang Sheng shyly but firmly. Her eyes were like bright stars, sparkling with gentle light.

Her smile is sweet and charming, like a flower blooming in spring, exuding charming fragrance.

Zhang Sheng smiled, stood up, and danced with Sarah. His body was flexible and agile, and he kept changing his dance steps to the rhythm of the music.

His hands skillfully plucked the strings, producing clear and pleasant sounds. His eyes were focused and affectionate, as if they were the only two people in the world.

Their cooperation was in perfect harmony, as if they had rehearsed it countless times.

Sarah's dance and Zhang Sheng's piano music echoed each other, interweaving into a beautiful picture.

Their movements were coordinated and every detail was handled just right.

At this time, the surrounding Jinhan people held hands, formed a huge circle, and jumped and turned back and forth.

Both the Hu people and the Tang people were infected by Zhang Sheng's music and Sarah's graceful dance, and were immersed in this wonderful atmosphere.

On this night, Zhang Sheng broke the boundaries of race and culture with his music, allowing everyone to feel the charm and power of music. This night will become an indelible memory in everyone's heart.

When it was very late in the evening, all the soldiers, led by their commanders of tens and hundreds of households, dispersed like a tide. They could not wait to mount their horses and gallop towards their felt tents.

Those soldiers who had families were extremely anxious and wanted to return home as soon as possible to reunite with their loved ones.

And those bachelors who have not yet started a family are looking forward to meeting the girl of their dreams as soon as possible.

Even if they don't have a sweetheart yet, it doesn't matter, because they know that tomorrow their lord, the emperor, will reward them with tents, women, slaves and livestock in recognition of their merits.

At this time, Sarah, the girl from Karakhan, had already held Zhang Sheng's hand tightly, as if she was afraid that he would run away.

Zhang Zhongxian and Zhang Xibao in the crowd looked at each other and smiled when they saw this scene.

Zhang Xibao turned to look at Zhang Zhongxian and said softly:
"Brother, Your Highness should have a wife of his own. This girl from the Karakhanid Khanate looks exactly like me, a Tang person. She is indeed a good candidate!"

Zhang Zhongxian nodded slightly, a smile flashed in his eyes, and responded:
"Hahaha, it's because we, the Zhang family of Qinghe, don't have a suitable daughter, otherwise why would it be the turn of this Hu girl.

However, this person does look exactly like a Tang person, and she is also a princess from the Seven Rivers Grassland in the west, so she is worthy of Your Highness.

I was thinking, can I use this to seize the Karakhanid Khanate? At the very least, I can bring those Tang people known to the Karakhanids into my Jinhan! "

Zhang Xibao raised the corner of his mouth slightly and nodded gently to show his agreement.

He was well aware of Zhang Zhongxian's intentions and knew that his brother could always find opportunities in various situations to gain maximum benefits.

The two smiled at each other, knowing each other's thoughts. They began to secretly plan how to take advantage of this new situation to gain more power and resources for the Qinghe Zhang family.

In their view, this was not just a marriage, but also a political marriage. They could use this opportunity to strengthen the Jinhan tribe, and in this way, more Tang people would return to the embrace of Jinhan.

However, achieving this goal is not easy. They need careful planning and clever use of strategies to ensure that everything goes smoothly according to plan.

At the same time, they must also be wary of interference and sabotage from other forces in order to protect their own interests.

There were young and beautiful Tang women in the Jinhan tribe, but the gap in status between them and the prince was too great.

What the prince needs is a partner who can lead the tribesmen and has both civil and military skills. More precisely, he needs a wife who is as strong as an ally. Only in this way can she help His Highness, manage the household affairs and maintain balance.

In addition, Zhang Xibao and Zhang Zhongxian did not want other Tang people to rise to become nobles in the Jinhan tribe through marriage.

This situation will pose a threat to the Qinghe Zhang family, who are now known as the royal family and are highly trusted. Once such a situation occurs, the status of the Qinghe Zhang family will inevitably be affected.

This is something that Zhang Zhongxian, Zhang Xibao and other people who hold high positions in Jinhan do not want to see.
