On the plain outside the county town, there is a simple mansion with simple decoration, which is the seat of the mission of the Pure Water Province stationed here.

The officials of Dayan and the diplomatic envoy in the mission were waiting for the arrival of the mission at the gate of the mansion.

Around the mansion, dozens of Dayan border soldiers wearing iron armor and carrying long knives at their waists were also on strict guard, showing the majesty of their ** team.

As the first carriage slowly stopped at the door of the mansion, Yan Lie and Guo Huaiyong also rode their horses to stop.

Ye Fan had already gotten out of the carriage, followed by Qiao Sandao, the little fox's injuries had not fully recovered, and it was not suitable to move around, so he stayed in the car.

Guo Huaiyong strode to the door, said hello to the Dayan officials who came to greet him, and then looked back at the carriages behind him slowly stopping one after another, with a smile on his face.

As if seeing the worry between Guo Huaiyong's eyebrows, the Dayan official surnamed Chen hurriedly explained: "My lord, these soldiers are just to protect the safety of the mansion, and there is no threat to the adults. ”

Guo Huaiyong nodded, knowing that between the two countries, everything is based on strength, and there is no need for him to be too enthusiastic about this Dayan official.

Ye Fan raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and did not pay attention to the conversation between Guo Huaiyong and the officials, his mind was mainly on the convoy of the mission, if Luo Tingnan really wanted to take Pei Qiancheng back, then today's mansion was her last chance.

As the proud daughter of the Luo family in Jiulongling, she must be responsible for the reputation of her sect and the safety of the people of Dayan, so she will never be able to do anything in the territory of Dayan.

Suddenly, Ye Fan's mind moved slightly, and he slowly turned around, there was a green grove on the east side of the mansion, with lush vegetation, a quiet breeze, and a pleasant scenery.

A young girl in a white shirt, clasping her right hand, watched as one carriage after another passed by at the entrance of the mansion.

The breeze blew through the woods, blowing her untied black hair, revealing her sweet face and cool and bright eyes.

Ye Fan smiled and looked at the innocent girl named Luo Tingnan, bowing his head slightly, expressing his gratitude.

He knew that after he went to Jiulongling or Dayan Capital, he would inevitably deal with her again.

Although Luo Tingnan came to arrest Pei Qiancheng this time, and should have thought about killing Ye Fan, Ye Fan admired her very much. On the one hand, I appreciate this girl's strong strength and profundity, and on the other hand, because in the grassland outside the dense forest, this girl was moved to cry because of Ye Fan's story full of loopholes, which really made Ye Fan love it very much.

Even in Taoyuan, such a pure and immaculate heart is rare, let alone in this cultivation world full of disputes.

After handing over the formalities with the officials, the mission moved forward again, and the carriage stopped beside Ye Fan, who lifted the curtain and entered, without looking at the woods again.

Walking out of the county town and passing through a small plain and meadow, the convoy of the mission came to the official road under the protection of the regular army of Dayan.

Ye Fan lifted the curtain and looked at the green trees next to the official road, feeling a little weird in his heart.

came to the Dayan Dynasty, which I admired most in my hometown, why didn't I feel it at all?

The formation on the official road is somewhat amazing, with two teams lined up along the left and right sides, one of which is full of accompanying officials, and the official positions are of different sizes.

Another column

The team was full of soldiers, dressed in silver iron armor, wearing a long knife at his waist, holding a spear, and his body was full of murderous aura.

At least two-thirds of the people in the mission were the descendants of the fierce people in the north of the Pure Water Country, and as soon as the convoy went to the official road, as soon as they saw the team of elite horsemen wearing iron armor and extraordinary momentum, a strong hostile mood rose in an instant, and everyone subconsciously clenched the spears in their hands.

In the past 20 years, the two sides have fought each other openly and secretly, and the battlefield is always so cruel and ruthless, and both sides have already stained each other's blood on their hands.

Today, when we suddenly met on the official road, a strong smell of gunpowder gradually appeared.

Dayan's officials hurriedly came up to explain a few words to Guo Huaiyong, but he didn't care, and waved his hand to let these people under his hands relax.

didn't even have time to rest, Guo Huaiyong immediately asked his subordinates to start arranging the handover ceremony with the other party.

Yan Lie was a little puzzled, and asked in a low voice, "Why don't you continue to let us take Pei Qiancheng with you?" Maybe on the way to Jiulongling, we can ask something." ”

Guo Huaiyong shook his head and said: "That's it, how can it be so smooth to move forward with these Dayan's soldiers and spies along the way?" It's better to throw people over, we can also worry less, if something goes wrong with Pei Qiancheng on the way, it will naturally be responsible for Dayan, do they dare not hand over Pei Qiancheng to Jiulongling?"

Ye Fan looked coldly at the middle-aged man with a pale face, and was helped out of the carriage.

On the other side, two figures, one black and one white, looked at each other quietly, and after a while, Qiao Sandao said softly: "After entering Dayan, the girl should take care." ”

Song Yanqiu bowed slightly, his expression became much calmer, and he said softly: "I've worked hard for you all the way." ”

Qiao Sandao looked at her soft face, tilted his head slightly, as if he wanted to say something, and finally kept his mouth shut helplessly and turned around to leave here.

Song Yanqiu's slender jade hands are lightly suspended outside the sleeves, and her plump curves are just right presented by the simple clothes, her black hair is lightly pulled, and her eyes are full of anticipation, like a generation of Xuannu, peerless and independent.

No man can refuse such a woman.

Ye Fan glanced at Qiao Sandao, as if he wanted to see a hint of strangeness on his face, after all, as soon as Song Yanqiu went this time, he would be admitted to the Wind Thunder Pavilion, but he was afraid that the opportunity for the two to meet in the future would be very rare.

It's a pity that Qiao Sandao's expression didn't show any joy or sorrow, and his body was still straight, like a green pine standing beside Ye Fan, standing speechless.

Lang has the intention of having a concubine, but these two people are like two enemies, and there has been no movement for a long time, between himself and Qingqing at that time, it seems that they are honest with each other directly to the point, and they are not so shy.

Ye Fan shook his head, as if he wanted to ease the atmosphere, looked into the distance, and asked: "After walking for such a long time, and all the way to the official road, the speed is extremely fast, it should have exceeded the distance from the border to Kyoto, the territory of this Dayan seems to be a little too large......."

As soon as the words fell, Yan Lie, who was standing on the side, smiled and said: "Ye Fan Shaoxia is right, in recent years, Dayan has been crazy about expanding its territory, and it is the only orthodox dynasty in Zilai Prefecture, and the population of the territory is naturally proud of all countries. ”

Ye Fan nodded slightly, thinking that if Dayan was not a gentleman

The lord is seriously ill and has no time to take care of the border passes, but he is afraid that the water purification country bordering a large area with it will be really troublesome.

Just thinking about it, he heard Yan Lie continue on the side: "However, Your Majesty is wise and martial, the National Teacher is already the strongest in the Ten Realms, even if the Great Yan National Power is strong, but if I give the Pure Water Country a few decades of time to recuperate, it may not be too weak than the Great Yan." ”

Ye Fan couldn't help laughing, thinking that the generals and officials of this Pure Water Country, under the pressure of Dayan's perennial step-by-step, suddenly saw the sun, and actually cultivated an extremely terrifying self-confidence.

After chatting with Yan Lie, Ye Fan also had a rough understanding of why the scale of the Pure Water Country's mission to Dayan this time was so large.

In addition to escorting Pei Qiancheng to Jiulongling, Guo Huaiyong also had the heavy responsibility of buying and selling the northern territory of the Pure Water Country.

The southern border of Dayan is a hundred miles in circumference, and it has been attacked little by little from the territory of the Pure Water Country in the past few decades.

If this matter can be negotiated, Guo Huaiyong's credit book will inevitably add a strong stroke, and even the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites can almost be said to be a sure thing.

Along the way, the missions stayed in various post stations, and Dayan did not live up to the name of the dynasty, and after receiving it, even Guo Huaiyong, who wanted to pick a bone in the egg, could not find any fault.

Along the way, although most of them stopped like dragonflies and water, Ye Fan already had a general understanding of Dayan's customs and customs.

The prosperity of the economy, the vastness of the territory, and the boiling of people's voices are really not comparable to the Red Leaf Country and the Water Purification Country.

But after walking for a few days, Ye Fan said a question that he had been curious about for a long time one day: "Why do these people of Dayan always look at us with contempt and contempt in their eyes, just like looking at wild people?"

Guo Huaiyong explained with a smile: "In the eyes of the people of Dayan, even high-ranking officials and literati from other countries are all native buns from the countryside, and they are all the kind of people who have little knowledge. ”

Yan Lie then explained: "And the war between the Pure Water Country and Dayan is also more than one win or loser, although under the leadership of the Great Shuai, we have fought several beautiful battles, but we still look down on us in our bones. ”

"After all, Dayan is the only dynasty in Zilai Prefecture, so he naturally looks down on the country next to him. It is normal for the people to be arrogant. ”

"Also, there is an important point. Guo Huaiyong thought for a moment and continued to say in a deep voice: "The headquarters of the Zilai Prefecture Temple, the Zilai School Palace stands in the Great Yan Capital City, so the scholars in this world basically regard the Great Yan as orthodox. Every year in the spring, Dayan's imperial examination is much more lively than ours. Not only the famous talents of Dayan County will gather in Beijing, but even the scholars of Pure Water, Yutang, and even Hongye Country will travel thousands of miles to Jicheng. ”

Yan Lie interjected on the side: "I know this, even the National Teacher went to participate in Dayan's imperial examination many years ago, and won the championship in one fell swoop, which made our Water Purification Country have a good momentum." ”

Ye Fan was a little surprised, and asked with a smile: "Really, could it be that Dayan's court can still let other people wear black gauze hats?"

Guo Huaiyong explained: "This is naturally impossible. It's just that everyone in Zilai Prefecture seems to recognize a little bit, as long as they can enter the top three talents in Dayan Chunfu, no matter which country they are in Zilai State, they can be regarded as having a stepping stone to enter the official career. ”
