The Fall of the Golden Empire (Novel) (Volume 1) "Bloody Sunset" by Zhang Baotong
After seeing off the two messengers, Pizarro felt that a major event had been accomplished, and his mood immediately relaxed a lot. Then, facing Martin in front of him, he said mockingly, "Martin, what trick did you use to get the Inca King's beloved concubine into your bed?"
Martin blushed and said, "The Marquis should stop talking about such scandals." If he were a Spaniard, he might brag about himself endlessly, but the Indians' concepts in this regard are completely different from the Spaniards. Yes, no matter how capable you are, this kind of thing will be regarded as a very embarrassing scandal.
Pizarro said in a serious tone, "The Inca King is the king of your Indians and the son of the sun. How dare you have an affair with his concubine. How courageous you are!"
As soon as Martin heard what the Marquis said, he boldly said, "As long as the Marquis doesn't care, I'm not afraid of anyone." Then, in a disdainful tone, he said, "As for the idiot Atahualpa, I despise him the most. Look at his stupid and arrogant demeanor. You see, he has obviously become a prisoner of others, and is being imprisoned. He still poses as a supreme, noble, infinitely wise Inca king all day long. You think it is ridiculous. Laughing? If it were me, I would not be like him, leading an army of tens of thousands, only to be defeated miserably by more than a hundred Spaniards and captured alive. Do you think this man is stupider than Gray Goose? Do you think I can respect and admire the Inca king who is so stupid and imprisoned?"
Robert said aside, "You only dared to say such things when you saw Atahualpa imprisoned. If Atahualpa had not been caught and imprisoned by us, would you dare to say such contemptuous and abusive words to him?" ? Do you dare to seduce his concubine and have an affair with his concubine?"
The smart Martin shook his head and said, "I'm not the kind of fool who would let others chop my head off with a knife."
Pizarro listened to this, tapped Martin with his hand, and said, "You have to be more careful in what you do. Don't let that arrogant and stupid Inca king find out and sue me. By then, I won't be able to forgive you lightly." you."
Martin said disapprovingly, "It doesn't matter, so what if he finds out? Can he really hang us alive and bury us alive, and then kill the nine tribes and burn all the family property? Unless he can get out of here alive and become the Inca King again." "
After the three people talked for a while, the sky began to light up. Pizarro felt a little sleepy and returned to his dormitory. At this time, the Inca princess had gotten up and was sweeping the floor. Pizarro was sitting on the edge of the bed, taking off his clothes, while looking at the young princess's rather slender waist, swaying as she swept the floor, and felt that the posture was light, beautiful, and very alluring. So, he couldn't help but put on his slippers, unexpectedly hugged the woman's waist from behind, and carried her to the bed. The woman turned around and smiled lightly at him. Her expression was so solemn, serene, and extremely beautiful that the Marquis fell into a state of intoxication. He loved her so much that he put the woman in his arms and kissed her. He took off all his clothes, then hugged the woman and got into bed.
However, someone soon knocked on the door. When the Marquis heard the voice of the second lieutenant Petya who was guarding the Inca King, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed and asked loudly, "What's the matter, so arrogant?"
The person outside the door said, "The Inca King said he has something very important to tell you."
The Marquis said, "Wait until I get up and have dinner?"
But the second lieutenant on duty said, "The Inca king is making a big fuss and insists on seeing you right away."
The Marquis said, "Just say I will be there soon." After getting rid of the annoying ensign on duty, Pizarro continued to hug the Inca princess, because this was the most important thing for him right now.
After a while, he felt sleepy and fell asleep. After sleeping for a while, he felt someone crying. When he opened his eyes, he saw the princess looking at the ceiling and crying silently. He lay down in front of the princess, and while wiping the young princess's tears, he asked, "What's the matter with you?"
The princess just shook her head and did not answer. He kissed her on the face and said, "My poor princess, if you have any dissatisfaction or need, just tell me. Except for the sun in the sky and the moon in the night sky, I will satisfy you."
The princess shook her head tenderly and said, "I'm fine. I wonder what happened to the noble King Inca. Go and have a look."
When the Marquis saw that the princess was interceding for Atahualpa, he said in confusion, "Princess, Atahualpa almost killed your entire family. If you were not in Quito, but in Cuba." Sco, you will also die by his knife. Why don't you hate him for this, but think about him? "
But the kind princess said, "But he is our king after all, my brother. Apart from him, I have almost no other relatives." This princess named Malikayas is Wayna Capak The king's biological daughter can be said to be Huascar's biological sister, and of course Atahualpa's biological sister. She went to Quito to visit Princess Paria, who was seriously ill, and thus escaped the great purges and massacres by Quitos in Cusco. Because her mother died of illness, she was raised by Princess Palia for a long time when she was young, so she has a deep affection for Princess Palia. When Princess Paria died of illness, she came to Cajamarca from Quito. After meeting the king, the king told her what happened in Cusco and asked her not to return to Cusco, so she had to stay in Cajamar. Lived in Maka's palace. After the Inca king was captured by the Spaniards, the Spaniards searched for gold in the palace and captured her and everyone in the palace.
Pizarro was really sleepy, but in order to make the princess happy, he still got up, then called Robert and Martin up, and walked together towards the cell where the Inca King was held. The cell where Atahualpa was imprisoned was a sturdy stone house built by the Incas in the military camp. The house is made of very neat and smooth stones, because a kind of red clay is used between the stone seams, and no traces are exposed. Therefore, it makes people feel that these stones are built with high craftsmanship. , rather than being made of adhesive materials. There are three trapezoidal doors in front of the cell door, each door has an iron lock. Outside the door, there were six Spanish officers and soldiers with loaded guns and ammunition tightly guarding the door.
Arriving at the cell door, the Marquis asked the second lieutenant on duty, Petya, "What is going on?"
Petya quickly stood up and saluted, then pointed to the cell and said, "Before dawn, he asked me to call the Marquis and tell you that he had something important to say to you. I said no, the Marquis hasn't gotten up yet, but he doesn't do it. He was yelling like he was going crazy. I had no choice but to report it to you."
Pizarro nodded, and then looked in through the small hole in the wall, but what he saw was half of Atahualpa's eager and anxious face. He smiled and said, "Hi, old friend, we meet again." After saying that, he asked Peter to open the door.
The door opened, and Pizarro entered the house with Robert, Martin, and Petya. The stone house is about seven meters long, six meters wide and three meters high. The ground is also paved with neat and smooth stones. The room was empty, with only a wooden chair and a large bed. The light was dim and filled with a strong musty smell. Only the two small holes in the wall let in light, bringing a bright atmosphere to the room.
Seeing the Marquis leading people into the room, Atahualpa stood up from his chair and said, "Good afternoon, Marquis." Of course, he learned this sentence from the guards guarding him.
Pizarro seemed very happy to hear the Inca King greeting him in Spanish, and asked, "How are you doing, King?"
Atahualpa smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think the prisoner's life will be easy?"
Pizarro smiled perfunctorily and asked, "I wonder what important matter the king has for me?"
Atahualpa walked up to Pizarro and said bluntly, "I know that you have gone through hardships and traveled thousands of miles to come to us, not to spread any Christian teachings or religious beliefs."
Pizarro was stunned when he heard this and said, "Then why do you think we are here?"
Atahualpa said emphatically, "Gold." He said the word in Spanish, so Martin did not need to translate it.
Pizarro said "Oh", but he did not feel embarrassed at all, but was surprised by the Inca King's straightforward sense of humor, "Really?"
The Inca king asked, "What do you think?" Both of them laughed.
This was the first time Pizarro saw the Inca king laughing heartily and happily after he was captured, so he said without any subtlety, "Yes, we need gold."
The Inca king said, "Well, you need gold and I need freedom. I think we can make a deal."
Pizarro was a little confused and said, "What kind of deal can we do?" This also puzzled the others accompanying him, because one was the imprisoned king and the other had the power of life and death. Marquis, what kind of deal can there be between them?
The Inca King said, "Exchange gold for free transactions. In other words, I will give you enough gold, and you let me go." After saying that, he looked at the man in front of him who controlled his life with a look of special price. Kill powerful Spanish soldiers.
"Really?" Pizarro's eyes sparkled and he asked immediately, "How much gold can you give me?"
"Many, many," the Inca king said while pointing to the ground, "for example, enough gold to cover the entire floor of the house."
"With gold that can cover the entire floor?" The Marquis pointed to the house and said to Robert and Martin, "Did you hear it? He was talking about gold that could cover the entire floor of the house. Isn't he kidding us? ?" As he said that, Pizarro burst into laughter. "Yeah, I'm afraid he's not daydreaming."
Robert and Peter both laughed mockingly.
Being laughed at by everyone, Atahualpa looked very embarrassed and even a little overwhelmed, but he still tried to defend himself and said, "Really, this is actually nothing at all."
But Pizarro waved his hand and said in a non-negotiable tone, "Where can you get so much gold? Forget it, there is no need to talk about this impossible thing. You have other things to say. Tell me? Otherwise, I have to leave here."
