Chapter Twenty-Three: The Four Kingdoms Tributary Dynasty of the Great Shang Dynasty

"Young Master, the missions of the other three countries have already set off. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" The woman in a strong suit in black indifferently reported the news that had just arrived.

One year is enough for an originally excellent girl to come out and fall better, Xingge's body has also lengthened, and she has practiced martial arts all year round, and there is no excess fat on her body, and the fifteen-year-old girl looks slim. It's just that her face is more indifferent than before, these days the wind and rain have come and gone, and she has climbed to her current position by stepping on the pile of dead people, so that this girl in the mood for love has learned to be cruel and indifferent to life and death.

The handsome and elegant young man sitting in the cloister raised his eyes and looked at the sky, his pink lips opened lightly, and the elegant tone of chanting sounded, "The wind is up, the thunderstorm is coming, and the flowers will be thanked." Raise your hand to catch the fluttering fallen leaves, "String song, let's go to Beijing!" Go to King Chung and infiltrate the mission. ”

"Yes, my subordinates are commanded." Xian Ge lowered his head slightly and retired silently.

There was a almost inaudible sound behind him, and the string song lowered his eyes, as if he had heard it wrong.

"Introducing the strings with your hands, singing lightly with your lips ......"

In addition to the Yan Kingdom, there are also the Chu Kingdom in the southeast, the Zhao State in the southwest, and the largest, strongest and richest Shang Dynasty.

The country of Chu has a lot of water, the national style is gentle and beautiful, and the folk customs are soft.

Zhao Guo is a lot of horses, martial arts, the people are fierce, and the soldiers are strong and strong.

The country of Yan is rich, and in recent years, it has also been strong, but it is adjacent to the nomads and keeps it from disturbing.

As for the Great Shang Dynasty, it was the king of the five crowns in this land, and all the countries headed by it, and paid tribute and worship every year.

The nomadic tribes in the West were formed by Wuqiang and Mojie, who had been subordinated to the Great Shang and Wuqiang were still independent.

South of the 100,000 Great Mountains, deep in the most mysterious jungle, there are also southern Xinjiang tribes who are good at using witchcraft and have nature worship, which is a dangerous area that no one has ever set foot in.

Lord Wu Qianming of Kyoto was valued by the emperor, and he was the envoy of the Great Shang this time, and the five princes accompanied him.

King Zhong is the emperor's favorite concubine Zhao Guifei, ranked fifth among the princes, at a young age has been trained in the court, by a lot of weapons, and gradually formed an opposition to the prince, perhaps this is also what the emperor is happy to see, the two tigers compete, the victory must be the strongest, the most strategic.

At the border of Yan Kingdom, I finally caught up with the mission that departed a few days ago.

"See the prince, the prince is safe, and the grass people are late."

King Zhong is twenty-six this year, which is the best age for men, and he has been in the court for many years, and he has developed the ability to be happy and angry. Dressed in dark blue clothes, two four-clawed golden dragons are embroidered on the left and right, and peacock ornaments are embroidered on the back. The waist is tied with a purple gold inlaid newspaper stone belt, the green silk is meticulously tied with a purple gold crown, and the crown is inlaid with five full and round East pearls on behalf of the status, and the whole person is also handsome and noble.

"It's someone sent by Mr. Maku!" The deep voice has a compelling momentum, worthy of being a member of the royal family.

"Yes, subordinate Xiange, come by order." I lowered my head and stopped looking at this man with the air of a superior person.

"Okay, pretend to be my personal guard, and go with you."

"Yes."

Kyoto -- The Kyoto of the Great Shang Dynasty is not without courage, and there are two words written on the high city wall - Kyoto. The only Kyoto in the world.

The gates of the city were wide open to welcome the envoys.

Each country did not want to be the first or the last, so it was customary for them to rest around Kyoto for a few days and enter the city together today.

The reliance of the mission is extremely gorgeous, although it is to go to Beijing to worship and pay tribute, but also to highlight the wealth and strength of their country to the greatest extent.

At the gate of the city, I happened to meet the envoy of the Chu State, and the frame of the Chu State looked very elegant from a distance, intertwined with azure and milky white. The carriages and horses are also beautiful and elegant, but just looking at the wheel, it is made of fine golden silk nanmu, and the curtains on the car are also all hard-to-find smoke and moon yarn, looking from the outside to the inside, you can't see the slightest inside, looking from the inside to the outside, as clear as if there is no cover. There is no need to count the others one by one, the reliance of this Chu State is also low-key and luxurious.

"It turned out to be Lord Wu, I haven't seen you for many years!" The envoys of the state of Chu greeted each other with fists.

"It turned out to be Lord Chi Yuanchi, I really haven't seen you for many years, how are you doing lately?" Lord Wu Qianming looked at the envoy of the Chu State and saluted back.

The two sides are exchanging pleasantries. I heard a burst of laughter in the distance, the woman's enchanting and charming voice is particularly clear here, and it is the envoy of Zhao State who is relying on it to come slowly, and the low-key of Chu State and the simplicity of Yan State are different, Zhao State's reliance is two words - arrogance.

The gorgeous gilt frame, the gorgeous car cover surrounded by auspicious clouds, the red curtain embroidered with the golden phoenix, and the fat and strong Zhao Guohan bloody horse...... All reflect the wealth and arrogance of Zhao Guo.

The bright red curtain was slightly blown by the wind, revealing the glamorous and obscene scene inside, and the beautiful woman in tulle leaned on the young and strong man like a boneless snake, smiling coquettishly.

That man was the regent of Zhao State, and the most brave and warlike general of Zhao State, and the uncle of the young Zhao Jun - Zhao Yuanfeng. At the age of fifteen, he went to the battlefield, at the age of eighteen, he commanded the Weihuwei, at the age of twenty-two, he commanded the three armies, the first emperor died at the age of twenty-six, the young new emperor ascended the throne, and Zhao Yuan became the regent, and the influence of the entire Zhao State can be seen, and it has been four years now.

"Who should I be, it turns out to be His Royal Highness the Loyal King of Yan Kingdom!" Zhao Yuanfeng pushed away the beauty on his body, and as a result, he wiped his hands carefully with the wet handkerchief handed over by the slave girl, "Lord Zhong is really handsome, since the last time I saw Yuzhou City, I have always been obsessed with it!" ”

Xian Ge only felt that the horse under his crotch was a little uncontrollable, and the cold air coming from the carriage on his side was really pressing, and it was rumored that this unpredictable regent was not taboo for men and women, and in front of the public, the prince suffered such an insult, no wonder it would be such a reaction!

Although His Royal Highness King Zhong looks elegant, he is definitely not feminine, this Zhao Yuan is obviously insulting!

"Really? It's rare for the regent to be worried, but this king really can't remember when he saw the regent, it's really rude! "The old and loyal prince is not a person who is easily angry, and these verbal battles are naturally not a problem.

"It's okay to do this, it's good to remember it now, and invite King Zhong to come to the house another day." Zhao Yuanfeng moved forward slightly, as if he was extremely interested in Prince Zhong.

"The regent invited me, I shouldn't have refused, but this time, everyone has official business, let's talk about it next time." Prince Zhong opened his mouth coldly, and his voice carried an unapproachable coldness, which was not rude.

When the two were in the midst of a confrontation, the courtiers who had come to greet the big merchant had already arrived.

Two men dressed in apricot-yellow python robes rode side by side, escorted by a group of soldiers, and stood out among the civil officials.

Both of them are apricot-colored princely dresses, luxurious but not cumbersome, and do not affect horseback riding at all. The one on the left is a little older, with a white face and a green beard, and his temperament is elegant and not abrupt, and he seems to be the second prince of Dashang, Huang Fuyi. The young man on the right couldn't stop the yin aura all over his body even if he was wearing a dress, and his face was cold and resolute, it was estimated that he was the Nine Emperor Emperor Fuqing.

"Everyone came from afar, my two brothers came to greet the emperor by order, in the lower emperor Fuyi, this is the younger brother Huangfuqing." He pointed to the man beside him and said, "Please also ask all the envoys to enter the city to rest first, the post house has been arranged." ”

The group introduced each other, and the mighty convoy relied on the direction of the post station, and when they arrived at the post station, everyone's identities were almost clear.

The envoy of Zhao was Lord Wei Ran, and the regent Zhao Yuan was ennobled.

The envoy of the Yan State was Lord Wu Qianming, and the loyal king Fang Chen was accompanied.

The envoy of the State of Chu was Lord Chi Yuanchi, and he was accompanied not by the princes and nobles of the court, but by the eldest princess of Anyang of the State of Chu, the sister of the King of Chu.

and Mo Jie's envoy who arrived later turned out to be Helian Qi, who had not been seen for many years.

"My father will hold a palace banquet in three days to receive the wind for the envoys of various countries, and I hope you will attend." The two Shang Dynasty princes left on their own after delivering their group to the post house, and as neighboring countries, such a move was not an ordinary faux pas.

The post house of the Great Shang Dynasty is really luxurious and spacious, and each country has its own separate arrangement, so naturally there is less opportunity to meet each other, which is naturally less troublesome if you don't meet, and the Great Shang as the host will naturally have a lot of peace of mind.

Who doesn't want the position of hegemon? Although the four countries do not have the ability or courage to directly target the big merchants, that high position is indeed something that everyone is worried about.

The three kingdoms of Yan, Zhao and Chu border each other, even if there is no direct outbreak of large-scale war, but the harassment of small groups is still constant, not to mention the heavy army of Zhao Guo and Mo Jie on horseback.

Except for Mo Jie, the three kingdoms stand together, contain each other, and move the whole body, and no one will act rashly if there is no absolute certainty that they can eat the rest of the two countries and will not be exploited by the nomads in the west.

Although the Great Shang did not participate in the wars of the other four countries, and longed for the four countries to consume each other, they would never allow one of them to dominate and threaten their own status.

Chu is located in the southeast, the location is remote, self-sufficient, elegant and beautiful, never participated in the war, not to mention that this time it was the eldest princess of Anyang, unlike the few people who came this time, they also stayed in the post house by themselves on weekdays, and it was surprisingly quiet.

Yan Guozhong's prince Fang Chen, Zhao Yuanfeng, the regent of Zhao State, and Mo Jiezuo's general Helian Qi, these are all old opponents who deal with each other on the battlefield all day long, and what they think about all day long is how to hack each other, and there is a lot of trouble in the post house.

Looking at the little black pigeon that flew into my hand, my heart was half relieved, the little black is the pigeon I raised, more flexible and intelligent than the average carrier pigeon, and inconspicuous. Before I came, I left Xiao Hei with the young master, which can be regarded as a good use.

After opening the letter on Little Black's feet, I was relieved that everything was fine at home.

Wrote down the situation in simple code, tied it to Little Black's feet, and threw him on it again.
