At this time, Wei Yingcai was listening to the report of the intelligence officers with the director of the Yangcheng Police Department. It turned out that Wei Yingcai did not trust An Wenjin and the others, so when An Wenjin and the others left, Wei Yingcai secretly sent people to follow them, just to monitor whether there was any change behind these envoys of the Xia Kingdom. Because of this, Wei Ying knew clearly about An Wenjin's meeting with She Dahai.

Listening to the report on the dynamics of An Wenjin and other envoys of the Xia Kingdom, Wei Yingcai's face became more and more gloomy, and finally the corners of his mouth raised coldly, and he said dissatisfiedly: "These Xia people are really not at all restless. ”

"Sir, do you want to arrest them?" asked the chief of the Yangcheng Police Department.

"Not yet. Continue to stare at them, and if you have the opportunity, grab what She Dahai gave him from An Wenjin's hands. Wei Yingcai shook his head at the chief of the police department and said.

It is indeed impossible to arrest An Wenjin and She Dahai now. After all, first, Wei Yingcai had just finished negotiations with An Wenjin and other Xia envoys, and if he arrested them the next moment, it would only make Wei Yingcai's actions an excuse for Xia Guoxing's troops to make trouble;

But no matter what, it has become an established fact that An Wenjin, the envoy of the Xia Kingdom, colluded with the old department of the Xia Kingdom in Yangcheng with bad intentions.

"Yes, sir. The chief of police saluted, withdrew from the castle guard's mansion, and sent someone to investigate.

An Wenjin returned to Youjia Inn, and the people who had been waiting for a long time immediately gathered around, wanting to know the results of An Wenjin's negotiations with the Xinghua Empire.

An Wenjin originally planned to let everyone discuss and decide on this last quota by themselves, so naturally he didn't hide everyone's thoughts, waved his hand, and the deputy envoy who followed was no longer silent, and informed everyone of some things that should be announced.

There is only one place, and it is indeed not possible to determine the answer at once. However, before anyone could put forward this agenda, Su Wenshu, who was born in a rich family, made a public attack first.

I only heard Su Wenshu roar angrily: "Bastard, these Xinghua people dare to exclude me!"

It turned out that when Su Wenshu conveyed Wei Yingcai's meaning to the deputy envoy, it was specifically mentioned that he did not accept Su Wenshu as an envoy of the Xia State.

This highly targeted remark, Su Wenshu naturally can't stand it!

If you want to say that the Xinghua people limit the number of Xia envoys to meet their emperor, Su Wenshu can accept it; if you want to say that the Xinghua people limit the list of candidates for the envoys, Su Wenshu doesn't have any special feelings, anyway, he doesn't have a good impression of the people of the Xinghua Empire, and it doesn't matter to him whether he goes to meet their emperor or not; but the problem is that now the Xinghua Empire people directly name and exclude him alone, which is not so simple!

This is undoubtedly insulting him! Su Wenshu's heart swelled with intense anger! Doesn't it mean that he has no diplomatic etiquette and is not qualified to meet Emperor Xinghua?

Thinking that he is a child of a dignified family, how could he have been insulted like this since he was a child!

However, Su Wenshu's anger, no one present gave him "justice", on the contrary, many envoys even felt that the people of the Xinghua Empire had done a good thing.

For example, An Wenjin. An Wenjin heard Su Wenshu's roar, and there was no reaction on the surface, but in fact, he was secretly applauding in his heart.

In An Wenjin's eyes, Su Wenshu is really an unstable factor, and it is easy to cause extraneous branches. If it weren't for Su Wenshu's strong family background, how could he have the opportunity to join the envoys, and how could anyone have endured his arrogance all the time? In fact, it was all for his family's sake. Without Su Wenshu, maybe the envoys would not have gone wrong when they met Emperor Xinghua, and it would have been easier.

An Wenjin ignored Su Wenshu's dissatisfaction, and besides, he was still thinking about other things in his heart, and he didn't want to look at what would happen next, so he just turned around and said to the envoys present: "The remaining quota for meeting the Emperor of the Xinghua Empire, I don't make the decision, you negotiate with each other, and after picking out the qualified people, you can inform me of the candidates." If we can't decide, we, the legations, will hold a long-awaited vote, and whoever has the highest number of votes will be given a seat. ”

An Wenjin said that, without saying anything else, he walked back to his room by himself.

The so-called "what will happen next" is the remaining quota he said, and he can foresee that the people of the envoy group will definitely fight for this quota.

An Wenjin returned to his room to write a memo and report the progress of the envoys to the imperial court, which was the practice of envoys. After all, the envoy is a subordinate of the envoy to other countries on behalf of the court, and what he says and deeds naturally needs to be reported to His Majesty the Emperor, so as long as it is not too far away, every once in a while, An Wenjin will report to the monarch and ministers of the Xia State.

According to the regular content of the finished recital, An Wenjin is not in a hurry to send it, he has to wait for the group of envoys outside the room to determine the second quota, and then write the most important content to be played this time - the meaning expressed by Wei Yingcai of the Xinghua Empire, especially the matter of Wei Yingcai's stipulation of the quota for meeting His Majesty the Emperor of the Xinghua Empire, together with the attribution of him and the other places to be determined, into the memo and report to the Emperor of Xia.

It seems that the outside has not yet been determined, otherwise, someone would have come in and reported to him. An Wenjin waited for a while, and when he saw that there was still no movement outside, the corners of his mouth raised, and he naturally understood what was going on. But even if he understood, he didn't intend to open his mouth to urge, but just instructed the servant next to him to brew a cup of tea and come in, and continued to wait while drinking tea.

But until An Wenjin drank all the tea, he still didn't wait for the news he wanted. It seems that the desire for power is really lost in the hearts of the people, and after so much time, the people outside have not yet discussed the truth, and it seems that it is not possible to solve it through consultation. Seeing this, An Wenjin sighed helplessly, this is what he had expected just now, so he left this invisible battlefield with hidden gunsmoke as soon as he came, but he didn't expect that An Wenjin's little bit of trust in them still didn't work, and he gave them the opportunity to solve it on their own, but it really couldn't be solved.

After thinking about it, An Wenjin knew that it would not be a matter to drag it out any longer, so he decided to turn passive into active, get up and walk out of the house, and go to see what the situation was outside.

When he walked to the hall of the inner courtyard where the envoys were meeting, sure enough, he found that the atmosphere was a little solemn.

"Haven't you decided yet?" asked An Wenjin.

"Lord An, whether you are the head of the envoy corps or it is up to you to decide. The military attache of the mission said, his face looking a little tired.

"Well, who wants to go? Come out on your own, if there are many people, I'll propose a fairer way. An Wenjin said.

In the hall, three people walked out and walked in front of An Wenjin.

"The three of you, do you want to follow me to meet Emperor Xinghua?" An Wenjin asked. He had to ask carefully once to avoid misunderstandings.

"Yes, sir. The three of them replied together.

Of the three people who stood up, one was a deputy envoy, one was the only military attache in the regiment, and one was an envoy and civil official.

An Wenjin was a little embarrassed when he saw this, and in his opinion, the three of them were very useful. One person can assist him in his work, one person can protect his safety, and the last person belongs to the recorder, who records what the ambassador of Xia Guo saw and heard, he knows etiquette better, and will judge whether Xia Guo attaches importance to the relationship with Xia Guo from the aspect of etiquette.

From the bottom of his heart, An Wenjin needed all three of them to meet Emperor Xinghua with him.

"Lieutenant Envoy withdraw, military attache and recorder, let everyone vote to decide who will follow me. An Wenjin said.

On the third day, An Wenjin and the military attache of the mission came to the Yangcheng City Guard's Mansion together, and they were followed by many members of the Xia State Envoy Delegation. In fact, An Wenjin didn't expect that the military attache would win and get the quota. Later, An Wenjin thought carefully and understood one thing. That is, the military attaché and the civilian official are two systems, and the other members of the legation do not want their positions to be taken over. If a civil official has made meritorious service and is promoted, it is inevitable that someone will return without merit. Therefore, most civilian officials would rather benefit from military attachés than other civilian officials to get this opportunity, and they can't see their colleagues being promoted and raised, and to put it bluntly, they are still jealous.

"I'll give you a chance, but don't think too much about it. An Wenjin couldn't even remember how many times he had promised other colleagues. Sometimes, some people are always unwilling to settle for something. Although An Wenjin is an ambassador, he is also old. Now that you have won your own interests, you can no longer offend your colleagues in other matters.

"My lord, we're just sending you off. The envoys said.

An Wenjin's face twitched, how did these people talk to make him feel unfriendly, as if he wanted him to die. An Wenjin smiled reluctantly and no longer paid attention to the people behind him.

An Wenjin did not go directly to Tai'an City, but waited at the city guard's mansion, and the Xinghua convoy in Yangcheng sent them to Tai'an City.

After waiting for more than an hour, Wei Yingcai came out of the city guard's mansion.

"Lord Wei, I have a request. An Wenjin took the initiative to walk in front of Wei Yingcai and said.

"What request?" Wei Yingcai asked, in a good mood.

"I think there are still a few people in the Xia envoy group, can you add a few more. This time, An Wenjin deliberately appeared in front of everyone, and his voice was not small, which indirectly proved that he had indeed asked the officials of Xinghua State. Of course, An Wenjin hoped that Wei Yingcai would refuse on the spot, even if he had an excuse to explain.

Wei Yingcai's next words once again dispelled An Wenjin's expectations.

"It is decreed that there shall be two persons, but you may bring two more men as members of the legation to take care of your living and food. They can't enter the main hall, but they can stay in the capital and see the good places in the capital of our empire. Wei Yingcai said with a smile. Today, he was in a good mood. The Emperor awarded Wei Yingcai a Endeavor Medal as a reward for his work in Yangcheng, Jiangzhou.

If it weren't for his busy work, Wei Yingcai would even want to go to the capital to express his gratitude to the emperor.

Wei Yingcai greeted a Xinghua soldier with his hand, and the Xinghua soldier drove out three levitating carriages.

"Get in the car. Wei Yingcai didn't talk nonsense, and he didn't wait for An Wenjin's meaning, he waved his hand and said.

An Wenjin quickly picked out two members of the envoy and got into a hovering carriage together. This suspended carriage was specially left by Wei Yingcai for An Wenjin and them, which could carry gifts for the Xinghua Emperor.

An hour later, Wei Ying took An Wenjin and them to Tai'an City.

At this time, a levitating train was parked at the gate of the city, and a large number of Xinghua soldiers were carrying military supplies down.

Leon appeared at the gates of Tai'an City, inspecting the Xinghua Empire to inspect the latest military supplies.

Wei Yingcai took the initiative to walk up to Leon and salute Leon. Leon returned the salute to Wei Yingcai.

"Why are you here again?" asked Leon.

"I sent the Xia envoy to Tai'an City, took the train, and went to the capital. Wei Yingcai said.

Leon smiled and asked, "It's that simple?"

Wei Yingcai laughed and said, "Of course it's not that simple, I ordered a few bottles of good wine." ”

"Give me a bottle. He replied.

No problem, Wei Yingcai agreed and ordered his subordinates to unload the goods.

After a while, Leon asked, "They're important, why do you want to escort them personally?" ”

"They have a request, two more envoys. Wei Yingcai said.

"What do you think?" asked Leon.

"Anyway, it's just for them to squeeze into the carriage, and it takes up a lot of space. Moreover, when they arrive in the capital of the empire, it will be arranged by the cabinet, and it has nothing to do with us who they can and who they don't. Wei Yingcai said with a smile.

Leon nodded and responded, "I'll immediately send someone to check their muscles and bones, whether they are combat professionals." ”

Wei Yingcai is a pass, in charge of the primary election. Lyon is a double vote. Finally, before going to the DPRK, the cabinet should send someone to check it.

"Hello, General Leon, can the four of us meet His Majesty the Emperor of your country together?" An Wenjin took the initiative to ask Leon again.

Leon did not avoid An Wenjin, but when he saw him coming to ask, he said, "The number of you will be present is decided by the emperor and the cabinet. We have been given the task of testing your qualifications. Those who do not meet the qualifications will be excluded directly, so please cooperate. Leon paused and continued: "These two additional personnel you have added are not audience members, they are your subordinates who can help you carry gifts. Now, the train to the capital stops there, and the gifts are carried on the carriage under the command of the relevant staff. The train will depart on time. ”

Then, without explaining anything, Leon ordered the Xinghua soldiers to inspect the four An Wenjin and the belongings they were carrying. After the inspection, no dangerous items were found, and they were ordered to carry them into the carriage.
