38. Chapter XXXVIII
The messengers who were responsible for sending the invitations returned one by one, and the envoys of various countries gradually gathered in the central main city, how the aggressive expansion of the Huang Empire made the countries nervous and vigilant, how complete the envoys who responded to the invitation, how high the status of the people who attended as envoys in their own countries, and how to entertain such a large-scale meeting of representatives of various countries before, how to entertain them.
As the leader of the Northern Alliance, in order to show his attention to them and perform his ceremonial functions, he held a banquet every day to catch the wind and wash the dust, and invited all the envoys who arrived that day to participate, saving the trouble of receiving them one by one, and it was also convenient for the arriving envoys to adjust first. There is a feud, the envoys with sharp contradictions between countries must not be arranged together, isolated arrangements, try to avoid meetings, arrange tour guides to take them around, as a group purchase tour group, show the characteristics of the alliance, promote the desire to buy, and warm up for the subsequent trade cooperation negotiations.
Before the people of the Huang Empire were brought into the alliance, the messenger who returned from Sindelia brought special guests, and other countries sent others as envoys, and Sinbad, the king of Sinbad, came in person, with only two people with him, and as soon as he came, he said that he wanted to meet the leader of the alliance.
In fact, the envoys of various countries have expressed this will to some extent, and they want to meet the alliance leader in private before the peace talks meeting, but they are all refused, saying that there will be a reception banquet to entertain them that night, and there is no need to rush for a while, the alliance leader is busy with every day, and if the precedent is broken, the envoys will ask to see the alliance leader in private one by one, and it will be difficult to refuse at that time.
Sinbad is different from ordinary emissaries, he is the king of Sindelia, as the king actually came as an emissary, he can't be more sincere, agreeing to meet in private is not a precedent, even he refused, it seems that the alliance is not close to people.
After asking the messenger in charge of delivering the invitation to Sindelia, An Le agreed.
When they met, Secretary-General Mu Yanran was present, in case she couldn't cope with Sinbad, she hurried to save the scene, which seemed to be a bit of a fuss, Mu Yanran was very happy, saying that it would not hinder her daily work at all, and it was an honor to be able to share worries and solve problems for the alliance leader.
Although she made up her mind to be a qualified alliance leader and study hard, she has done a decent job of receiving envoys from various countries in the past few days, and there has been no mistake, of course, not because they are interested, according to the messenger's feedback, there are obviously a lot of things she wants to ask, in order to receive the wind and feast, she released the coercion belonging to the monks to tell them to shut up and stop talking, as long as no one has the brains to pull out the moth, the scene will pass.
It doesn't seem good to see the king of Sindelia alone, it is rumored that he has conquered seven labyrinths, and has become a great hero who is widely spread in the world and praised by everyone from a civilian boy, and has established his own kingdom, full of legends, this is a living protagonist template.
Sinbad is a mature and handsome man, hearty and generous, informal, easy to make people feel good, and he is obviously stunned when he sees An Le. The leader of the Northern Alliance looks too immature and young, he does not discriminate against women as kings, there are countries where women are kings in the Seven Seas Alliance, if the immature appearance shown by the alliance leader matches his real age, and he dominates the entire alliance at this age, the Huang Empire has changed his style and signed a peaceful coexistence agreement with the alliance, which makes him even more curious.
"When I came, I always wondered what kind of person the leader of the Northern Alliance was, I didn't expect it to be such a cute girl, I was so surprised!" Sinbad praised sincerely, "This time I decided to come in person, and it was right." I visited the alliance leader in a hurry, and I didn't have a good taste of the alliance first, I think, under the governance of the alliance leader, it must be a beautiful place!"
His eyes swept over Mu Yanran, revealing a puzzled look, "I don't know who this beautiful lady is?"
"She is Mu Yanran, the secretary general of the alliance, this seat is still young, there are many shortcomings, I can see the legendary Sinbad with my own eyes, I am worried that there is rudeness, I need someone to guide her, and I also ask King Sindelia to bear with me. An Le nodded at him, a formulaic smile.
"It's really wrong for me to embarrass the lovely girl, but please forgive me, the Huang Empire actually agreed to sign a peaceful coexistence agreement, which surprised me so much, if I couldn't personally confirm it from the alliance leader, I couldn't sleep. Sinbad looked apologetic.
"It doesn't matter, the envoys who have come to the alliance recently have also expressed their surprise to this seat, presumably they are confused about the actions of the Huang Empire, and they are also half-convinced of the authenticity of the peace talks. Why did the Huang Empire, which had already annexed many countries, suddenly change its normal state and choose to sign a peaceful coexistence pact with the Northern Alliance, which had only developed for a few years, whether there were ulterior internal affairs, or whether it was simply that the alliance was attached to the Huang Empire and acted together, and there were all kinds of speculations. β
There was no superfluous expression on An Le's face, but compared to the formulaic smile at the beginning, it was a little more relaxed, and King Sindeliya had a kind attitude, and she was willing to be more sincere.
"Please rest assured, the peaceful coexistence agreement between the Northern Alliance and the Huang Empire is definitely not based on any ulterior conspiracy, the alliance sincerely wants to live peacefully with the Huang Empire and any friendly country. I am amazed that King Sindelia is here in person, and I sincerely hope that your stay in the Union will be pleasant. β
Sinbad pondered for a moment, "Since the alliance leader said so, I am naturally relieved, I believe in the sincerity of the alliance, but the Huang Empire has suddenly changed its style, and I really can't take them lightly, it may be a bit rude to ask like this, I wonder if the content of the peaceful coexistence agreement to be signed between the alliance and the Huang Empire will be made public?"
"Of course, many countries have been invited to send envoys to participate, how can the content of the agreement be concealed, there is nothing ulterior about the agreement between the Northern Alliance and the Huang Empire, if it can be made public, why not, I hope this agreement can help those who also pursue peace and maintain peace. β
"I sincerely hope that one day, when there are contradictions between countries, it will no longer be a direct war and bloodshed, but a calm down, sit down at the negotiating table, communicate and mediate to resolve it, and make concessions and take a step back in order to maintain peace. β
Sinbad was stunned for a moment, this time he was really stunned, as if he had suddenly been inspired by something, his smile was much more sincere, and he admired from the bottom of his heart, "The alliance leader really understands the righteousness, and when it comes to this, I am embarrassed to ask extra questions, I believe that the alliance leader must have an idea in his heart." Looking forward to the surprise brought by the alliance leader on the day of the peace talks. β
"King Sindelia is so understanding, and I am also pleased. β
"I'm rude to visit in a hurry. Sinbad apologized, vaguely saying goodbye.
"Tonight's reception feast, looking forward to the arrival of King Sindria. "Happiness and goodness are like sending off guests.
"Of course, when the time comes, I will definitely taste the food and wine of the Alliance. Sinbad smiled heartily and generously.
Seeing King Sindelia leave, An Le's straight back suddenly relaxed, leaned back softly, and exhaled, I must thank the news network, thank the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the official statement, and the personal demonstration of the celebrity public relations department, otherwise she wouldn't say these formulaic words, the table should be okay, after all, the other party is the king, or a founding king, and his identity is different from that of ordinary messengers, King Sindelia is also the head of the Seven Seas Alliance, although he only brought two people to the alliance, and the other countries of the Seven Seas Alliance have also sent envoys overγ
Listening to his tone, she should have been fooled, although they are all diplomatic official words, she is telling the truth, and there is no falsehood.
Next, there is also tonight's reception banquet, and the people of the Huang Empire and the envoys of the Seven Seas Alliance happen to be the same batch, tsk.
Sinbad left the City Lord's Mansion and went to the accommodation arranged for him by the Alliance.
As soon as he sat on the soft sofa, he raised his eyes and saw his two good subordinates, Jafar and Masrul looked at him with strange eyes, and they couldn't help but feel furious.
"What's wrong?"
"Cute girl...... Jafar said quietly.
"Nanami's groping pork knuckles. Masrul said these six words calmly, and looked away from Sinbad.
Sinbad shook a little, and quickly clarified, "I didn't do anything, just a few formulaic greetings, aren't you guys also there!"
"As long as it's a woman, you must not be careless, the alliance leader looks still young, you shouldn't be ...... to such a young girl" Jafar's eyes were full of suspicion, full of distrust.
"Absolutely not!" Sinbad swore that he was not a beast, "I just praised and admired the beauty of the alliance leader, and he will definitely be a great beauty when he grows up!"
Jafar's eyes were even stranger, and Masrul turned his head back to look at him with the same look.
"There will definitely be wine at the reception banquet, be optimistic about him, you must not let him get drunk and make rude, now that the envoys of the alliance countries have gathered, if you lose face, you will lose it to the whole world. Jafar turned to Masrul and said that he seemed to have completely distrusted Sinbad and was self-reliant.
"Well, if anything, knock him out and pretend to be drunk. Masrul nodded, his tone still calm and composed, but obviously very much in agreement.
"Hey!" Sinbad was depressed, was his reputation so bad?
"Drunk Xin, completely untrustworthy. Jafar turned his head and looked at Sinbad with empty eyes, completely hopeless, and put his hands in his sleeves and said categorically.
"Nanami's groping pork knuckles. Masrul spat out the six words again in agreement.
"......" Sinbad withered, because of his drunken bad character and his penchant for flirting with his sister, he had long been completely discredited in the eyes of the minister, and he was not less discredited.
There is no basic trust between people.
"How credible is what the Alliance Leader said?" Jafar disliked and got to business.
"At present, the specific situation is not clear, but the alliance leader does not seem to be invading other countries, if he is not deceived by the Huang Empire, then he has another inside story, and he has to meet the people sent by the Huang Empire to sign the agreement. Sinbad pondered and said.
Then, I saw it that night, and they were all heavyweights.
When the time came for the reception feast, everyone was seated.
The leader of the alliance sat on the main seat, condescendingly, on one side was the envoys of the Seven Seas Alliance led by Sinbad, the king of Sinbad, on the other hand, the people of the Huang Empire led by Lian Hongyan, and then the envoys of other countries sat in order, and the aura of the banquet was quite strange.
The Huang Empire and the Seven Seas Alliance stared at each other, and the smell of gunpowder was strong with each other, although it was not the kind of needle-to-needle that would be tense against Mai Mang, and a fight would start if they gave a signal, but the atmosphere was really bad, and no one was convinced, and they wanted some kind of feeling of being competent, and the envoys of other countries were frightened, trembling, and shrunk their necks and did not dare to speak.
An Le looked at it for a while, and found that both sides didn't seem to have any intention of stopping, so he intervened decisively, releasing the powerful coercion of the Jindan period monks, and overwhelmingly poured down, and the powerful third-party momentum broke the rivalry between the two sides, making them all come back to their senses, and the entire hall where the reception banquet was held was faintly trembling, and the envoys of other countries didn't dare to take a breath. Everyone was suppressed, and the image of the alliance leader who was as immobile as a mountain suddenly became taller, and no one was despised because of her immature face.
An Le put away his momentum, raised a wine glass, and motioned to the envoy, "Welcome to the Northern Alliance. β
The dead hall suddenly reopened, and the messengers raised their glasses in response.
I drank the Hundred Flowers Brew in the wine glass in one gulp, and when I looked up, the atmosphere that had been stiffened by the undercurrent wind between the Huang Empire and the Seven Seas Alliance had completely changed.
The wine of the envoy was mixed with a little spiritual wine, and drinking it was very beneficial to the body, and after taking a sip, the body was refreshed, and the turbidity in the body was released, and the whole person felt different, and felt relaxed, and the mood was naturally happy. It's not that they are stingy and refuse to give them to drink spiritual wine directly, with the physique of ordinary people, they will not be replenished if they drink too much. The food carefully prepared by the chef is also very delicious, and the crystallization of the wisdom of the big foodie empire is simply a taste of pleasure, which will definitely make them have an endless aftertaste.
In addition to food and wine, the reception banquet is naturally indispensable for after-entertainment programs, and singing and dancing are visual and auditory enjoyment.
"It's really scary, the leader of the alliance turned out to be her. Jodar leaned crookedly back in his chair, "Isn't it an ordinary aristocratic girl, it's actually the leader of the alliance." β
Lian Hongba didn't speak, staring at An Le on the main seat, his expression was obscure.
"The strength is also terrifying, and I was also suppressed just now, and I broke the confrontation between us and the Seven Seas Alliance with my momentum alone. Jodar grabbed a fruit from the table and stuffed it into his mouth, his voice was a little slurred, "I don't know what she went to Luochang to do on purpose, the Alliance Army came so fast, could it be that she took the opportunity to set up a large teleportation array or something?"
Lian Hongyan's expression was indifferent, as if it was just an ordinary banquet, Lian Hongming didn't speak, and after the banquet atmosphere was warm, he ...... I fell asleep with my eyes open, and my saliva was about to come out.
Only Lian Hongba kept staring at the main position.
"Hey, you don't think about her anymore, do you? Jodar raised his hand and waved in front of him, "If you really want to get married, depending on the situation, you are more likely to be thrown into the alliance and relatives, that old man...... His Majesty the Emperor even wrote such a letter, maybe he would be happy to sacrifice a prince to hug the thigh of the alliance. The Northern Alliance is no longer composed of just barbarians, and it has only developed into a small force that has not been known for a few years, and I think that after the peace talks, the letters requesting marriage will fly like snowflakes on the table of the alliance leader. β
Lian Hongba was choked for a moment, and immediately retorted, "It's not this question!
"What's that?" Jodall asked, curious.
"......" Lian Hongba didn't speak, retracted his gaze, drank the wine in the wine glass in one gulp, and then poured it again.
Jodar shrugged his shoulders and said no, wasn't it a drink to kill his sorrows.
With no one to pay attention to him, Jodar had to concentrate on the dance in front of him and appreciate the beauty of art.
The Huang Empire was quiet here.
The Seven Seas Alliance also quietly discussed it.
"I didn't expect the Huang Empire to send three princes, all of whom are princes with real power, and Lian Hongyan is recognized as the next emperor, it seems that the Huang Empire does attach great importance to these treaties. Jafar frowned, unable to figure out what the Huang Empire meant, and couldn't help but turn his gaze to Sinbad.
Sinbad was raising his glass to toast An Le with a smile on his face, and when he heard Jafar's words, he quietly took a sip of wine and withdrew his gaze. "It's useless to think about it now, I can only wait until the day of the peace meeting, the alliance leader personally said that the content of the agreement will be made public, and I will know it then, but ......" He thoughtfully swept Lian Hongba, he looked at the appearance of losing his soul just now, looked at the alliance leader, and then looked at Lian Hongba, as if he understood something at once.
"But what?" Jafar asked.
"No, maybe I'm too careful. Sinbad turned her head again and raised her glass to An Le, looking very happy, completely immersed in the atmosphere of the banquet, and happy.
Seeing that bruises appeared on Jafar's forehead, he lowered his voice, "Are you planning to get the alliance leader drunk and do something, Xin!"
Sinbad suddenly felt a thrill, the wine glass in his hand almost turned over, and he turned back in confusion and said: "You have to have a little confidence in your king, so small, at least a little bigger......"
Jafar and Masrul's eyes told him, no matter how dare he wave, he immediately knocked out and pretended that he was drunk, and Sindria's face must not be thrown to the world because he was drunk and drunk and flirted with his sister, and it was as widely circulated in the world as Sinbad's adventures.
Sinbad sweated, so he had to drink depressedly and didn't dare to wave anymore. Although she is a little younger, she is also a cute girl, and this position is not convenient for talking, what's wrong with a toast. The wine mixed with the spirit wine tasted very unusual, and relieved his depression, but Jafar and Maslur stared at him, and he was not allowed to drink more, so he had to stare at the dancing girl, who was also very cute and danced beautifully. Sinbad felt that it would be perfect if he could gulp down.
Because An Le was off the horse at the beginning, he thought that a banquet would be very smooth and turbulent, and the Seven Seas Alliance and the Huang Empire were very peaceful, and they began to withdraw from the banquet until the end of the banquet.
Lian Hongba got up from his seat and strode towards An Le, "Wait!"
Baihua Brew is a spirit wine, which is different from ordinary wine, drinking it to nourish qi and beauty, drinking it in peace will only be good for the body, and the taste is also very good, so she did not deliberately avoid drinking at the banquet, after drinking a few glasses, her face was a little red, her eyes were blurred, and when she heard Lian Hongba's voice, she stopped and looked at him standing in front of her suspiciously.
Lian Hongba met her misty eyes, was silent for a while, and said slowly: "You promised me the red kodan ......"
"It's a little thing like this, it's good for people to talk about it, why bother to come here in person. An Le felt a little dizzy.
"You promised to pay me, you don't want to wait. Lian Hongba frowned, there was a faint smell of wine in his nose, mixed with a sweet floral fragrance, "You drank a lot of wine, I saw that King Sindelia has been toasting you, that guy is simply ill-intentioned, like a strange man." β
"Hmm...... Indeed, among all the envoys, he was the only one who toasted, which was a bit strange, probably because he was too excited to drink, and he seemed to be persuaded by his subordinates, and he didn't drink much, and focused on enjoying the song and dance. Don't say this, you... Come with me, I'll make a new Kodan, all kinds of red, pick your favorite. β
Lian Hongba and An Le withdrew and left together, attracting the attention of many envoys who had not yet left, and their eyes revealed deep meaning, and they quietly examined the people of the Huang Empire who had not yet retreated, and retracted their gaze, and Sinbad also paid special attention.
Don't really say it, just looking at the appearance, among the people present, Lian Hongba is the best match for An Le, and the others are adults.
Walking in the long aisle, An Le suddenly said, "So satisfied?"
ββ¦β¦ Now that you know, do you still agree?" Lian Hongba looked at An Le, and his tone was inexplicable, "Brother Yan will definitely not give up like this, even if you sign a peaceful coexistence agreement now as you wish, it is actually just a blank piece of paper, and you want to tear it up, and some are excuses." β
"Of course I know that the so-called treaty is just a blank slate, and if you don't want to abide by it, it's useless, and you still have to fight in the end. An Le replied indifferently, not surprised, and looked at him with his eyes, "It's you, deliberately making this illusion, to lure others to misunderstand the reason why the alliance signed an agreement with the Huang Empire?
"That kind of ridiculous talk of being forced, it's okay to deceive the ministers of the Huang Empire, anyway, they won't believe any other answer if they say anything now, and spread it to the world, forget it, I'd rather be misunderstood that the alliance wants to marry the Huang Empire. Lian Hongba pouted, a letter from my father is ironclad evidence, the queen has no arguments, and they are also speechless, and the final word is final.
"It's really perfunctory, for the sake of the face of the Huang Empire, you sacrificed a lot, even if you actually have nothing, you are still ......misunderstood" An Le yawned, his eyes were hazy with tears, and he rubbed his eyes, "Thank you for your advice, I know that Lian Hongyan will not give up lightly, but soon, he will be willing." β
"You don't care about people who want honor like this, what do I have to care about. Lian Hongba snorted, obviously referring to the reason why An Le interfered in the internal strife of the Huang Empire before, claiming to fight for his reputation, and as a result, he brushed everyone.
"Just when I drink too much, I'm too lazy to care......" An Le said casually, I really don't want to think about this kind of small thing, let her brain take a break, "Children, don't be so careful, just eat, drink, and play, the sky is falling and there is a tall man on top." β
Lian Hongba suddenly stopped, raised his hand and pressed An Le's shoulder, his expression was stern and serious, and he emphasized word by word, "I am 17 years old this year, not a child!"
An Le was stunned, speaking of which, Lian Bailong seems to be the fourth prince, looking at it should be 16 or 17 years old, Lian Hongba is the third prince, how can it be smaller than Lian Bailong, the simple information of the royal family of the Huang Empire is still relatively easy to find if you have a heart, but she is too lazy to look at it, anyway, she has seen it in real people, and only picked an important part to browse.
"If you grow taller, I won't call you a child, otherwise I won't be able to hold it back. An Le said sincerely.
This is a world of faces.,As a tall and strong person who has dominated the last row of desks in the classroom since childhood.,It's really impossible to understand why someone of the same age can be so short.,I can't understand it.,Why is a teenager who is about to become an adult so deceptive.,It's a painting style with this Lori shell she carefully pinched.γ The water in the palace is so deep, and the prince is malnourished and stunted to the point that he can't grow tall?
"Call me a little friend again, and I'll kiss you. Lian Hongba's simple and crude threat turned red with anger.
An Le was full of excitement, and couldn't believe it, "Don't you just call a few children, as for ......?"
Lian Hongba pressed An Le's shoulder, and came to a wall with a sturdy knot, opened his mouth and gnawed on it, and his body was told to her, the self-esteem of the teenager was untouchable, just like the weight of a girl, otherwise, he would do what he said. Since he was confused by his height and couldn't match his age, then tell her with action, no matter how young a man is, he is aggressive!
At this time, should I have a French kiss to fight back, kissing each other so that their feet are soft and their eyes are blurred and drunk in their arms?
The female man's heart is about to move, and she is still a little excited when she thinks about it, but ......
no!
And then......
Then Lian Hongba was drunk by the residual breath of the spirit wine, and An Le drank a lot, a mouthful of the taste of the spirit wine.
Holding Lian Hongba, whose feet were soft and his eyes were blurred and his face was red, An Le stared at it for a while, shamefully bewildered by beauty, opened his mouth and gnawed on his lips, leaving a tooth mark, the drunken Lian Hongba was not to be outdone, and bit back, and the two were inseparable from each other in order to fight for sovereignty.
An Le came back to his senses and found that he was actually a beast, but in addition to this, Mu felt shy, and wanted to bite again, such as crying him, so that he could lie weakly in his arms and gasp......
Probably really drunk high, the beast in the bottom of the heart is roaring or something.
Tut!
