Chapter 44 Chapter Forty-Three

In the afternoon, the sky in the west was clear and cloudless.In the valley covered with raindrops, under the light of the god Andi, there are crystal clear little lights.The top of the mountain is also dyed with a gentle halo, covering it to the back of the sun.Skylarks and kestrels hopped up and down in the rushes that bordered the swamp, feeding on small insects. The women in the camp were already up to build fires for soup and tortillas. Atahualpa drank a lot of chicha at the last ceremony, and now only a few women are left with him.The chiefs of Cajamar and the princes from all over have left the inner courtyard where the maids work, and now the palace is silent.

Unfortunately, another messenger hastened to deliver the news, and he reported to Guyappa that a foreign officer had come with a cavalry to see the one and only king, Atahualpa.Sikanshara is also in the team. This time, Atahualpa left the spring cave where he was bathing, walked straight to the top of the hill in the large hot spring area, and looked in the direction of the city. It was a while before he saw them.Suddenly, he clicked the tip of his tongue and pointed to a row of small black spots on the mountain road at the edge of the swamp. He turned to Anna Maya. "Look," he said surprisingly softly, "like a row of thatched huts on the prairie."

He smiled peacefully and kindly.In an instant, the expression on his face was that of a happy father alone with his daughter. Then, turning to Guyappa, he said: "Brother Guyappa, call my personal bodyguard to the inner courtyard. Call all the princes and priests to come too. Tell everyone that the Son of the Sun does not want to hear a single scream." The Royal Mile is wide enough for five forwards to walk side by side.The road is straight and leads directly to the other side of the grassland, or through the swamp area to the vast tent area.Unlike before, they did not have to go near the tent fields, and in some places the Indians did not have to huddle along the roadside to see them pass.This time, they are no longer hiding.

Everyone's eyes were focused, their expressions were serious, and they looked indifferent and uninterested. Su Tuo turned to face Jia Boye, made a face at him, and directly revealed his thoughts: "Looks like they know more than we do, don't they?" Despite their nervousness, they continued to walk like a car, spears on the toes of their shoes, and slowed down with the ambassador.At such a speed, after walking for about half a kilometer, they suddenly found that the end of the road was stuck in a mud.There was only a path in the rushes next to it.Jia Boye wanted to ride his horse into the forest, but stopped immediately.

"The road is too muddy," he explained to Su Tuo, "I'm afraid the horses will get stuck in the mud and get covered in mud." "Or something like a broken leg..." Su Tuo immediately echoed. "Mr. Ambassador suggested that we take the path below instead," put in Filipino. Ambassador Sikanshara smiled at them, then pointed to a fordable boulder pile among the reeds. "That guy clearly wants to make us miserable!" Su Tuo roared angrily, ordering the army to follow him. "Now," Jia Boye thought, "he knows our weakness. If we have to retreat or they deliberately provoke our horses, then we will really fall into a bathtub of no return!"

He was at the bottom, walking slowly through the crystal-clear creek, and he could even see the shining light and shadow on the surface of the pebbles clearly. Su Tuo turned around and walked to his side.The two did not speak, but looked at each other. However, the thoughts in each other's hearts coincided with each other. Several ladies-in-waiting finished dressing up the only king. A group of soldiers squeezed into the inner courtyard and surrounded the hot spring bath. Broadcasts announcing the decree can be heard throughout the camp. The officers rushed to organize the soldiers into fighting armies, all standing side by side, with maces or slings in hand.Those soldiers stationed beside the Royal Road, on the banks of the fast-flowing river, or in the swamps, secretly looked north from time to time.They guessed that from behind the moving rush fences, there would emerge some foreigners with silver armor on their heads and hair on their faces, as big as foreigners riding straight on the reed grass...

The women hurriedly put down the work of making pancakes and cooking soup, yelling, beating or coaxing, and everyone picked up the children and hid back to the tent area to prevent them from running around in the street.The children were crying because they also wanted to see the true face of foreigners. Atahualpa ordered his men to hang the shirt presented by the foreign guest on a long pole, and then plant it on the wall of the square courtyard like a victory flag symbolizing the conquest of the opponent. Then, noticing that Anna Maya had been silent, he said: "Come over to me, Kamakenkeya, come and be my right and left hand, and help me see the faces of those gringos. Maybe they will retreat when they see the color of your eyes?"

Anna Maya guessed that he didn't mean to be joking when he said this, but it was full of exhaustion and loneliness. After crossing the second river, they were close enough to discern which building was the palace where the Inca lived.If the Indian tents looked like an endless white wall stretching across the grasslands inside Cajamar, the rest of the landscape was nothing but grotesque, looming cones. "Captain," cried a member of the team, "look! look at that flag over the Inca palace!" Jia Boye followed the crowd and looked in the direction he pointed out.On a long pole, barely lifted by the breeze, he saw the silk shirt that the governor had given to the Indian king.

Su Tuo couldn't help swearing.He raised his spear and told the crowd to stop.Afterwards, he called Filipino to him, and asked him to ask the Ambassador Sikansiala to go alone, and go to his master's palace to report to him that these foreign gentlemen had arrived. Philippilo looked embarrassed. "What's wrong, translator, idiot!" Su Tuo yelled loudly. As usual, Sikanshara listened to the translation, but kept her eyes fixed on the captain. After Filipino finished interpreting, Sikanshala laughed loudly, showing her white teeth.Without further ado, he raised his hand as a gesture of goodbye, and ordered the porters to set off.

After he walked a little farther, Su Tuo asked Philip Bilo: "Why is he smiling so happily?" The interpreter also showed the same smile: "Oh, because he considers it an honor to report your presence to the one and only King!" Su Tuo and Jia Boye exchanged glances again. "We will know right away, who is better at lying, us or him." Jia Boye said with a sigh. After crossing the threshold of the inner courtyard, Sikanshara bowed his hands immediately.With bowed head and back bent, he walked across the garden, around the baths, past soldiers and princes, towards Atahualpa, the sole king, seated on a three-legged chair in the promenade, to He knelt down to pay his respects.

His forehead almost touched the dust on the ground, and he felt that everyone's eyes were on him, and he trembled with pride. "Come here, Sikanshala," Atahualpa ordered, "who are those foreigners who come here?" "A lieutenant of a certain captain, with thirty soldiers," said Sikanshara calmly, "riding horses with spears in their hands and shields hanging from their saddles. They were evidently prepared. , the only king, which means they are afraid of you." "What the hell are they trying to do?" "Their captain who stayed in Cajamar wants to invite you to visit. They have sent an Indian who understands the other's language to report to you." Atahualpa no longer questioned.He was silent.His eyes seemed redder than usual tonight, stimulated by the sulfur vapors and the hot springs. Anna Maya guessed that the only king was a little uneasy, and the other princes were also infected.The sky above the inner courtyard was crimson, and so was his face.The time has come for the golden Andi to turn blood red. But, in fact, the only king, Atahualpa, was not afraid of worry, and the one who was really afraid of worry was herself.It was she who felt a chill down her back and cold in her chest; it was her body that shivered, as if the hailstorm this afternoon had hit her body and frozen it inside. why? what!If only the twin gods were here... Why did she become frightened on the eve of the arrival of those foreigners?They were just a few people. On the other hand, in the inner courtyard of the palace, there were at least hundreds of soldiers waiting in full force, and there were thousands of soldiers in the entire camp! Sikanshala asked in a polite but honored tone: "What do you mean, the only king?" "Let's listen to what they have to say, and then kill them tomorrow. Like this!" Atahualpa raised his hand, and after turning his palm in the air, he clenched his fist as if he had caught a flying insect. He loves the action.He did it all over again, with a smile on his face, more exaggerated than the previous time. "Like this!" he repeated. The first laughter came from the inner courtyard.Then, the second sound.Then again.Then there was laughter.The one and only king laughed, and of course the princes laughed too, shaking their golden earrings vigorously.All the soldiers, concubines, or servants present also laughed, their mouths closed from ear to ear, and they even leaned forward and backward, so that the laughter resounded through the sky that was dyed red, as red as sulfur and water vapor. Tears of laughter welled up in the red eyes, and the one and only King made that gesture again. "Like this!" he said. The road ahead suddenly stopped. I saw a bamboo bridge built on the river.The river water was very hot, and boiling bubbles could be seen everywhere. On the other side of the river, about ten steps further forward, is the entrance to the large white tent area.The Indians inside formed a matrix of fifty people. They were wearing battle robes and lined up neatly side by side. Their spears were placed in front of them and pointed to the ground, looking at them intently. As usual, their faces were expressionless; neither surprised nor, of course, frightened. Jia Boye lay on the horse's neck, broke off two pampas grass tips, and threw them into the smoking hot spring.After a while, the two grass stalks curled up and turned black, turned into a few small black foams, and sank to the bottom of the water. Su Tuo watched from the side and couldn't help gasping. A soldier in the team pointed to a wooden bridge made of mud and muttered: "It's impossible to pass over it. That thing can't bear the weight of the cavalry, and we will definitely be scalded to maturity by the hot spring!" At this moment, an elderly Indian prince, with large golden rings on his ears and on his neck, approached the opposite bank.Like other team members, Jia Boye couldn't help showing a surprised expression.In addition to some strange feathers on his head, the old gentleman's chest was covered with gold, his wrists were also gold, and his two hands, when he pointed in the downstream direction, were covered with gold. It's a gold ring! Filibilo interpreted his brief statement: "The great prince said that you can cross the river downstream. Everyone must dismount and walk across the river." Su Tuo gestured to Jia Boye and the other three knights: "Come with me! Others," he said to the rest of his companions, "don't get carried away by the gold. Watch out for the soldiers in front of the tent. If they make a move, yell and come with us at once. meet……" The one place where you can wade across is the confluence of the icy river and the hot springs.If the water here is not hot, it is actually smoking hot! On the opposite bank there are several large stone steps leading to the residence of the Inca kings.Two groups of square matrix soldiers guarded the entrance with strict discipline. Stimulated by the alternating hot and cold water and the strong smell of sulfur, the horses froze and kicked in the sand.Several Indian princes, like the previous one, all covered in gold, came forward and stared at them. Since Su Tuo insisted on pulling the horse across the river, his horse snorted, then jumped up and let out a frightened growl. Jia Boye stuck his spear in his boot, stretched out his hand to gently comfort the horse.He suddenly thought of Mr. Francesco: under such circumstances, the Governor would not hesitate to ride across the river.He only needs to sway the spurs three times, and he will be able to reach the other side smoothly. Just as he was about to do so, came a loud laugh from the other side, from the palace of the Indian king— An insulting laugh echoed in the air. So, after yelling at Philippilo, Jia Boye sat up straight and poked the spurs hard.Su Tuo had the same idea and rushed into the river.When other people saw this, they immediately followed suit.Once stepped into the scalding hot water, the horse hopped in the heat, as if jumping over a high wall.Although they kept twisting their waists and kicking their legs, they finally crossed the river.After they stepped out of the river, the horseshoes jingled the stone steps again, and at the same time emitted a dazzling flash. For the first time, Jia Boye saw the surprised expressions on the faces of several soldiers facing him. Their mouths were half open and their eyelids were blinking non-stop. He glanced at Su Tuo.The captain also noticed this phenomenon, and after nodding each other, they finally couldn't help laughing. They rode slowly into the inner courtyard of the Inca court. They leaned over the horse's mane so that they could pass over the lintels of the porch.However, as soon as they passed the beam, they immediately straightened their upper bodies, grasped the spear with their right hand, pulled the rein with their left hand, and pressed their long swords against the holsters of the spears on both sides of the saddle. As for the horses, as they passed through the gardens and passed the ranks of soldiers standing still, they seemed startled to participate in a ceremony.They pricked up their ears, bit the horse's bit, and rolled their eyes.Still angry, they marched along the edge of a smoking hot pool, blowing air with their nostrils wide open, and their horseshoes stomped hard on the stone floor, making people think they saw flying dragons from the sky. However, every Indian present remained unchanged. The Inca king is not difficult to recognize, since he is the only one seated, surrounded by at least ten standing ladies-in-waiting with downcast eyes.He wore a sleeveless gown sewn with small gold plates, and he also wore a ring of gold from the wrist to the elbow, but his face was very secretive. Two court ladies standing in front of him held a gauze-like long cloth embroidered with silver threads to cover his cheeks.People can't see his outline and eyes, but he can see each other clearly. From the turban tied on his head, Jia Boye can still see some clues.On his forehead was tied a thin red wool headband, from which hung a lock of gold thread, on which was inserted a strange feather, shaped like a diamond, short and wide, with rainbow-like hues. He was as motionless as a wax figure. Not even a slight shake.nothing.People can't help but wonder if he is dead or alive.But in his mouth, the veil can be found swinging back and forth with his breath. Other than that, nothing happened.At this time, all the horses stood staggered in front of him, and they opened their terrifying mouths, revealing their sharp teeth. Such quietness, on the contrary, produces a kind of detached dignity, a majesty that makes people's skin crawl.Jia Boye began to feel scared. In fact, he has successfully overcome his fear so far, but this time he was terrified. He sat upright again and looked at the facial expressions of everyone around the Inca king in turn, and he found that the eyes of Ambassador Sicanshala were full of arrogance.The one standing beside him, Jia Boye recognized was the confident young soldier who had thanked him for killing the mad dog Menger had raised. Jia Boye nodded his greetings to him, but the other party still just looked at him coldly, without even blinking his eyelids. Just as Su Tuo was about to take a step forward on horseback, Philip Bilo immediately uttered a voice to stop him. "Not so close!" he begged, "Not so close!" He knelt between the two horses, put his palms on the ground, bowed his head. Su Tuo glanced at Jia Boye.Although his face looked a little pale, but his tone was firm, he said: "I am a captain of the Governor General Francisco Pizarro, and I have been sent by God and King Charles V of Spain to explore the lands we pass through and to proclaim the faith of Jesus Christ." After he finished speaking, the scene was so quiet that even the sound of hot spring water boiling could be heard. Jia Boye, who was suffering from chest pain, couldn't bear it any longer, and hit Philippilo on the back with the handle of the spear, causing the latter to almost fall to the ground. "Flip! Flip, you idiot!" Lowering his voice, not daring to raise his head, Filipino began to interpret.Jia Boye couldn't help wondering if he translated it truthfully! However, Su Tuo has already regained his confidence.With a tug, he pulled the horse aside, and after a Spanish salute, he went on: "Tomorrow, our Lord Governor would like to invite you to have a meal together to enhance our friendship with each other, and is ready to lend a helping hand to you, because he knows that you want to expand our national strength..." I saw the shawl in front of the Inca king move. Afterwards, the atmosphere of silence was suffocating, and the old man who greeted them on the shore finally said a few words. "Very good," Filipino said. "What, 'very good'?" Su Tuo muttered. "The great prince who spoke for the only king said: 'Very well.'" So, after taking a quick glance at Jia Boye, Captain Su Tuo slowly took off the glove on his left hand with a natural noble charm.He took down a small ring on his ring finger, pinched it between the two fingertips of his right hand, then bent over to the Inca king, and handed it to him. This time, the veil trembled and a voice spoke.The old prince came out from behind the Inca king, and when he reached Su Tuo's hand, the latter immediately closed his palms. "No," he cried angrily, "not you. I want your master to take the ring himself." Filipino refused to interpret, he hunched his shoulders and hid himself.However, the captain's displeased tone has already revealed the meaning between the lines. Therefore, in the silence, Su Tuo rode his horse forward in front of the Inca king. The breath from the horse's nose not only lifted the veil, but even blew the hairband on the emperor's forehead.He stretched out his hand again, opened his palm, and handed over the ring. So, as if all movements should be slower than the other attendants around him, the Inca king finally moved. This time it was his turn to stretch out his arms and open his palms.After the ring fell into the palm of his hand, the Inca king withdrew his arm at the same slow speed, then turned his palm down and spread his five fingers wide. After bouncing a few times on the stone-paved ground, the ring continued to roll forward, making a slight noise. But Jia Boye could not hear any sound for a long time. Why does the only king want her to be his eyes? Because what she saw terrified him. Because what she saw made his eyes light up. They rode cautiously into the inner courtyard.The stretched-necked, misshapen horses, staring wide-eyed, stomped on the stone slabs with their hooves branded with wood and silver, as if hoping to crush the ground. As for them, their clothes covered their bodies so tightly that they looked naked from a distance.The feet and calves were covered with another skin, and the hands were also covered with another skin, but the pointed hips and slender waist were clearly visible, and the shoulders were wider than the Indians. As for their faces... Their faces are covered with beards, mostly black, sometimes with a few strands of white hair.One of them had hair as golden as the sun.Their lips are wider and each has its own characteristics.Under the silver helmet, there is a pair of flexible and shining eyes.They looked at everyone in turn, looking blatantly, even the only king; they also looked at women, especially the eyes of each other, as if they could see through everyone's psychology with just such a small movement. They are not ugly. No, they are not as ugly as Sikanshara and Guyappa describe them! Except they're all white. The man with the blond beard looked a little tender and vulnerable, he gasped in fright, his nostrils flaring and shrinking.His nose is small, his lips are red, wide and thin, and his complexion is very white, as white as alpaca's fresh milk. But these faces terrified Anna Maya. What you see is more terrifying than facing the front teeth of a puma. The features she saw in these people and on these faces reminded her of some memories from the past. She thought of Anna Maya as a child.Thinking of the tall Anna Maya when she was ten years old.Thinking of the Ana Maya that the Chiriguano girls in the rainforest villages used to make fun of for being tall and fair. The Ana Maya who gets teased for having a flat forehead and lips that are too thin and too wide. That, a few years later in Quito, Anna Maya who was spurned by the mothers and girls in the Temple of the Virgin because of her blue eyes. Just when the only king let go of the ring in his hand, and the jingling sound of the ring hitting the stone slab filled the silent inner courtyard, Anna Maya looked up at the foreigner with the golden beard, her eyes were as focused as if she had never Seems like someone. It dawned on her. When the ring presented by Su Tuo was discarded at will by the king, Jia Boye didn't even hear the clinking sound after it fell to the floor. He watched, dizzy in front of his eyes. A pair of blue eyes. A pair of impossibly blue eyes. Among all the Indian girls in golden cloaks, splendid costumes and multicolored robes, there is a taller girl in a white robe with only a simple red belt around her waist.Unlike the others, she doesn't have long hair parted in the middle.Her hair is relatively soft, slightly curly hanging on her shoulders, the locks of hair are tied with golden silk threads, and she wears a crown on her forehead with an emerald pinned to it and three short red, blue and yellow hair sticks. feather. She has blue eyes... And it looks beautiful. But the reason why Jia Boye's heart slammed like a deer was not because of her special beauty, but because of her appearance. It seemed that he had come all the way from Seville to this unknown valley just to meet her! It seems that whether it is fate or coincidence, God has set up many barriers on the road of his life for this purpose.It seems that his embarrassing illegitimate child status, the insulting trial he suffered in the religious court, and Mr. Francisco Pizarro's crazy behavior actually have no meaning, and everything is purely born for this moment!Want him to appear here at this moment, in front of this strange woman.Appearing in front of this woman born in another world with big blue eyes and lake-like glances. Because he was so dizzy, he grabbed hold of the horse's mane so as not to fall off the horse.He had to grit his teeth so he wouldn't shake like a frightened child. Everything around him now is like a transparent distance between him and her. Who prevented him from knowing this woman, and even winning her hopes and desires? He no longer hears any sound, sees no image.He only heard her heartbeat and the scenery in her eyes. If it is said that there is a face in the world that people can never forget, will anyone believe it? If just one look makes someone unable to breathe without looking at that face or kissing those lips, does anyone know why? He was cold all over.He felt compelled to touch her, otherwise he would not be able to regain his warmth. Then, as soon as the clinking of the rolling rings ceased, there was an uproar, shouting, and hooves.Enando Pizarro asked loudly and rudely: "What happened, Su Tuo?" "Their damned Inca king refuses to communicate with me. He only wants to talk to the governor! What about you? What are you doing here?" Jia Boye didn't look back.He can't and won't.The young girl kept her head down as Enando entered the inner courtyard.And he continued to stare at her mass of black hair and the tiny crown feathers, as if he could hold her head up if he persisted. "She knows, she knows! She should know, and so does she! That's it..." "I'm here to support you," Mr. Enando continued to mutter, "I'm worried that you will be in danger. If he doesn't want to communicate with you, maybe he will be willing to communicate with me..." Just after Jia Boye finished listening to these few words, Philip Bilo somehow translated some secrets into his ears.After that, there was silence.It was quiet and empty, because she still didn't look up. She looked despondent, and perhaps trembling, for her fingers twitched slightly and curled up convulsively, as if frightened. "No, she knows! She shouldn't be afraid! She shouldn't be afraid of me! She shouldn't be afraid of me like a child!" Jia Boye kept repeating in his heart. Just when he was about to act, or cry out, he happened to hear Mr. Anando sneer and say: "Tell that dog to raise its head and answer our questions!" There is no need for Filipino's interpretation at all, and there is no need for more interpretation of the meaning and tone of the words.Although the Inca king was not offended, the courtiers around him were full of blood under the other party's insults. They stared at the Spaniards as if they hated a group of ants who were about to massacre them. Jia Boye pulled the rein without thinking, turned the horse around, and rode to Mr. Ainanduo's side.The governor's elder brother held the hilt of his sword in his hand, blushed furiously, with a contemptuous sneer on his face, and muttered: "This is just a joke to tease you, you look terrified, schoolboy! . . . Let them see who's brave! Filipino, tell King Atahuallpa, I'm not An ordinary captain, but the brother of Mr. Governor Francisco Pizarro. Tell him that the Governor is willing to be his friend and wants to invite him to dinner. At the moment he is waiting for news from him in Cajamar and has decided Don't cheat. If you are willing to eat or die on the spot, just wait for his word." When Jia Boye turned to face the Inca king again, the girl just raised her head and looked at him again. Those blue eyes were frightened. No woman had ever looked at him like that.Not even Madame Francia, years ago, at Seville. She looked at him, and he wished to touch her forehead and touch her red lips. In fact, he could bend down, stretch out his arms, hug her onto the horse, hug her, and ride quickly across the boiling river... As if possessed, he felt his muscles suddenly stiffen, and his waist seemed to be pierced by a sharp knife of pain. Then a gentle wave surged into his chest. After a while, he had to temporarily close his eyes in order to get rid of the seductive desire that had taken hold of him. When he opened his eyes again, the two girls who were pulling the golden veil covering the Inca king's face from head to toe were carefully lowering their veils.Finally the face of the Inca king was revealed, extremely handsome, plump and mighty. His nose was something of a bird of prey, and his mouth curved down slightly haughtily, with a statuesque perfect lip line, but his eyes were glazed.There are two bloodshot black eyes hidden in the slender eyelids!The face of the Inca king looked like a beautiful mask of brutality and tenderness. Jia Boye thought that Ananduo and Su Tuo would also be surprised. However, the moment the Inca king spoke, his tone was slow and clear.The woman was gone. The Inca kings did not speak directly to foreigners.He first said it to an elder beside him, who then relayed it to the interpreter Filibilo.He said: "Wherever you go, you are always very rude to my officials. In every village, you dare to insult the chiefs, you tie them with iron chains, whip them at will, and have no respect for my son of the sun, ruling this land The only king of the land that is not yours. You entered and left the sanctuary with impunity and took the girls inside. You even plundered the gold and silver treasures in the temple. You trespassed in the house where my father Vanya Kapac lived The palace, stole the precious woven carpets from the palace. You came all the way from the sea, without our permission, you eat whatever you want, even your dog dares to kill our children to feed its own stomach..." The Inca king reprimanded many of these foreigners for their atrocities, and angrily said that these people were planning to come to destroy the peace of the Quartet Empire. But when he had finished, Mr. Hernando Pizarro replied that the allegations were completely unfounded, and his tone was full of pride. "The Governor is a devout Catholic, he never wants to hurt anyone, he only fights against those who oppose him. Whoever comes to make peace with us with a smile and a gift, we will return a smile and a gift. Conversely, when When we are attacked, then, of course, we will fight back and subdue any resistance with all our strength. We have always done this, and we will always do so when necessary. We never fear, because every knight among us , definitely have enough fighting spirit to defeat any corps here alone!" The Inca king laughed disdainfully.He said: "Get off your horse, rest and eat!" "We are fasting," replied Enando emphatically, "and we have sworn not to dismount until we have returned to our lodgings. It will be dark soon, and we must convey your answer to my brother the viceroy. Would you like to have dinner with him?" Even though they were bloodshot, the Inca king's eyes seemed to hold a mocking smile.He said: "Today, I am extremely grateful to Father Sun, Our Lady of Mama, and Irapa, the God of Thunder, for giving me the strength to defeat my brother Huascal who refused to obey his destiny. Today, I also fast because my warriors Flocks of people rushed to the battlefield. They obeyed me and made great achievements on the battlefields. Tomorrow, the fasting period will end, and I will go to Cajamar with a few big princes. Today In the evening, you can stay in the large wing rooms by the square, as for the one decorated with serpentine patterns, you are not allowed to use it, it is my exclusive room." The Inca paused for a moment, and after examining the horses curiously, continued: "Before you leave, you must drink some beer to worship the gods. That is my friendly expression to non-enemies." As soon as he finished speaking, the two young girls stepped forward, each holding a beautifully carved gold goblet.After the Inca king took a sip of each glass, a girl handed one of the glasses to Mr. Anando. It was the same next time, several silver wine glasses were prepared for Su Tuo. Just then, the blue-eyed girl walked up to the Inca king. This time it was her turn to hand the two golden goblets to the Inca king.The Inca king looked at her with a frown, and even all the elders around him showed surprised expressions.However, without further ado, the Inca picked up one of the cups.When the girl knelt down to answer the salute, he lightly sucked the sour white foam on the cup.After that, she turned and walked towards Jia Boye's horse, fixed her eyes on him, and handed him another golden wine glass. When she handed the gold wine glass to the foreigner, Anna Maya saw Anti Panla looking at them with disgust. She also saw Sikanshara's disdainful expression, while Guyappa was annoyed and hated, wishing to start a bloody war immediately.She guessed that the only king must be curious about such a tall animal, and would like to have several identical ones. She could hear Atahualpa's tone of anger, rudeness, and even contempt at the end.She could feel that the One King was trying to frighten the foreigners, how proud he was of his power, how proud he was of thousands of brave warriors looking up to him, and how proud the Father Sun was of how much he was loved. . However, Anna Maya knew they were all wrong. The reason was not the rude remarks of the foreign official who spoke.Because from the tone of his speech, it is not difficult to guess that it is completely nonsense, exaggerated and untrue. It was all down to the silence and the look in the eyes of the man with the blond beard.Blame it on the absolute confidence he showed when he put his hand on the hilt of his sword just when the foreign captain swears some swear words that even the interpreters dare not translate. When other foreigners looked blank, there was no fear on his face.He exudes an aura that even Atahualpa dare not look at him.He has the all-powerful power of an unknown world. He gave her the feeling that he was caressing her, that he was choking her throat, choking her breath, grabbing her and sitting on his strange beast. However, it seems that of all the people present, no one paid attention to this. Even the only king turned a blind eye to him! So, when she saw that none of the chicha glasses were reserved for him, she risked the anger of the Sole King by pouring out a glass of her own accord. So when she handed him the wine glass, she saw him startled. He took off the sheath on his hands and fingertips, revealing his long, white fingers, trembling.He bowed to her in thanks and almost fainted in her arms for a split second. They carefully try to avoid finger touching. How pale he was! Yes, even he himself thought that he would pass out in her arms at this moment. If Jia Boye hated the choking smell of beer at all, he was able to control himself without showing any traces.When he drank the beer, it felt like he was swallowing her eyes and soul, and he couldn't help looking at the blue-eyed Indian girl.In the end, he actually fell in love with the sour and sweet taste of this beer.She stood beside his horse, motionless and unafraid.Her breasts were exactly at the height of his knees, so he only needed to twist or deliberately move the horse out of the way to brush against her breasts. His heart almost burst out of his chest. Beer churned in his tangled belly.所有的目光全集中在他们两人的身上，贾伯晔甚至可以感觉得到印加王那双充血的眼眸的厉害。 他终于把酒喝光了。她高举手臂，把头往后仰，仿佛希望将自己的纯真一股脑儿全都献给他，希望他能够从她身上看到她的真洁无邪。 但是就在此时，从背后传来艾南多先生的声音： “我们现在要回去休息了，明天我们将恭候您的大驾光临。” 印加王点一点头，露出微笑： “希望你们当中有个人今晚愿意留在这里，他将是我的座上宾。”他回答说。 之后，他拿起手中的金斧头，指着贾伯晔。 “不行，”艾南多先生大胆地否决。“总督不会答应的！我们全队的人马都应该一起返回卡哈马尔，他正等候我们的回音。假如您执意留下我们当中某一个人的话，他恐将会大发雷霆！” 唯一的君王笑了。所有的大王子跟着笑了，连簇拥在内院里的士兵也笑了起来。 所有的人都感觉得出来那些外国人怕了。 他们的脸上带着嘲讽的表情，好像在说：“看那些伟大的战士，看他们惊吓的样子，和那些见到我们拔腿就跑的印第安猪没什么两样。” 然而，正当艾南多先生准备将马掉头时，苏拓上尉叫道： “等一等！我们是不是该谢谢这位印第安人的热情款待啊？我想他对我们的马一定感兴趣，所以，别让他以为我们都是些胆小鬼……” 之后，双脚一起夹紧马的腹部，他纵马绕着内院打转。他的马训练有术。用马刺和腕力，他先让马匹前进后退练习走了几步之后，才快步奔跑起来。马蹄在石铺的地板上踩得踢踏响。之后越跑越快，甚至原地绕起圈子，把一旁的仆从和侍卫吓得东躲西藏。马匹累得气喘吁吁，嘴边流满白色唾液。最后，苏拓大叫一声，将马立起，把几位印第安人吓得直往后退，跌坐在地上，其中更有几位，因惊吓过度，夺门而逃。 艾南多先生笑着将马骑出宫廷。贾伯晔最后一次回头望时，并没有看到那位印第安少女的蓝眼眸，只看到印加王狡黠的微笑。 唯一的君王火冒三丈，命令所有的妃子、仆从和侍卫马上离开内院。 席坎夏拉努力地想让君王恢复冷静，于是便说： “让我们把他们的人全都杀了，但留下马匹以及替马蹄装上那种走在石铺地板可以擦出火花的铁片的那个人。” “我们早就该将他们全部宰了，”古亚帕不悦地反驳，“包括他们的马。” 唯一的君王以眼示意，要他住嘴。他转身对安娜玛雅说： “为何你要请那位不爱说话的外国人喝这个黄金酒杯里的酒呢，柯卡玛肯柯雅？而且没有经过我的同意。” 安娜玛雅双膝着地，匍匐在他跟前。 “对不起，唯一的君王。” 阿塔瓦尔帕眉头深锁。 古亚帕似乎深感遗憾地说： “是他，唯一的君王，在华加佑克杀死那条咬死小孩的大狗的人就是他。” 席坎夏拉依然轻蔑地抿着双唇，但是阿塔瓦尔帕却轻轻地点一点头。 “我喜欢他们的马，”他慢条斯理地说，“可惜他们却是些不可理喻的人。” 之后，他站起来，故意冲着席坎夏拉，接下去说： “把那些害怕他们的马的人揪出来。把他们带到士兵面前，将他们斩首示众。在这里，我不容许任何人害怕外国人。”
