Chapter 158: A Trip to the Kingdom of Wusun (1)
One hundred and fifty-eight, the trip to the country of Wusun (1)
After Nimi left, the leader of the shadow guard asked with some concern: "Lord, I'm afraid it's not good to let him shout like this, should we ......?"
The leader of the shadow guard made a throat-slitting motion, and Yuan Guimi smiled and continued to drink the milk tea in his hand.
"Don't bother with it, my father has his own conclusion!"
The reason why Yuan Guimi is so confident is naturally because these shadow guards were originally cultivated by Princess Xie Wei and placed them by his side, and Weng Guimi knew about this matter, so even if Nimi found Weng Guimi, he would not get any benefits.
Shadow Guard usually doesn't show up, unless Yuan Guimi's life is in danger, Shadow Guard will appear to protect him, and Ni Mi goes to Weng Guimi for such a reason, naturally he can't get benefits, and it will let Weng Guimi know that Ni Mi intends to kill Yuan Guimi, otherwise how could Ying Wei show up.
So Ni Mi not only didn't let Weng Guimi punish Yuan Guimi, but instead made Weng Guimi's face blacken, Ni Mi was not stupid, knowing that Weng Guimi was angry, so he didn't dare to say anything, so he withdrew from the tent in a gray manner.
Back to his inner tent, Ni Mi angrily smashed all the things in the tent and smashed, the subordinates stood outside the tent and didn't dare to approach, the shadow guard came back to report to Yuan Guimi that Ni Mi was deflated, Yuan Guimi just smiled lightly, and could only say that his mother was the one who was planning in the dark.
In the Han military camp, Wei Ling went to see Chang Hui, Huo Mei leaned on the soft couch and looked at the codex brought by Xiaohong, there are not many forces in the Moxiang Pavilion in Wusun, but judging from the codex, this big Han's princess is worry-free. But it's a character.
"The codex says that this princess has collusion with the Huns?" Seeing Xiaohong nodding, Huo Mei got up. Xiaohong hurriedly went over to support Huo Mei, although her stomach was not yet at its maximum, but these days Huo Mei has obviously felt tired, and she will have back pain after sitting for a long time, so she has to get up and move.
"That's what the secret guard of Wusun Kingdom said, because it seems that Princess Jian Wei often meets with several Hun spies, and she seems to be very interested in the situation of the Huns!" Home smiled. Walking to the door of the tent, he lifted the curtain and looked at the soldiers who were training not far away, and his eyes deepened.
"She is not in collusion with the Huns. Instead, I was looking for ways to eliminate the Xiongnu, such as provoking internal strife among the Xiongnu and sending people to assassinate me, but I wanted to hang these charges on the head of the Xiongnu! This qiΔ all shows that this princess relieves worries. It's not as simple as it seems. After so many years of playing with a Kunmi of Wusun Country, it is quite her grandfather's legacy! β
After walking a few laps, Huo Mei felt a little tired, Xiaohong helped her sit down to rest, and quickly put the tonic soup in her hand. "The general instructed me before leaving, I want to stare at you and drink this before you continue to read the Codex!"
Huo Mei looked at the tonic soup speechlessly, looking at Xiaohong's expression as an overseer, and was speechless. "Whose slave are you?"
Xiaohong scratched her head. Some embarrassed.
"Master, the general is also for your good. How thin have you been? Everyone has become fat when they are pregnant, but you are getting thinner and thinner, no wonder the general is worried. β
Of course, Huo Mei knew that everyone was actually very worried about their bodies, and touched their slightly bulging stomachs again, so they could only obediently drink the tonic soup.
There are calming herbs in the soup, so soon Huo Mei fell asleep, and when Wei Ling came back, he saw Huo Mei sleeping deeply, the corners of his mouth hooked, and he kissed her forehead gently, and began to raise the account.
Huo Mei was woken up by the sound of an argument, and Wei Ling was frowning at the sound of these arguing people, because he had already heard the sound of Huo Mei getting up.
"What kind of place are you supposed to be? The dignified lieutenant general is like a splash in the market, hasn't he let the outside people see enough jokes? β
Seeing that Wei Ling was angry, the two of them stopped arguing, and they both scratched their heads a little embarrassed, and when they saw Huo Mei coming out of the inner tent, the two of them were even more embarrassed, and quickly retreated from the big tent after finding a reason.
Huo Mei watched them run so fast, without the slightest appearance of blushing and thick necks just now, and was a little surprised.
"What's wrong with them?" Seeing Huo Mei come out, Wei Ling quickly got up to support her, watched her sit down, and took a cup of warm water to feed her.
"For the sake of the troubles between the salaries of several two soldiers, the Weijia Army has never deducted the soldiers' salaries, but this time the military salaries transported from Chang'an are only half of the usual, so the military camps are not very safe in these days."
Withholding military salaries? Huo Mei frowned when he heard this, this kind of thing doesn't seem to happen to the Han army, with the national strength of the Han Dynasty, it is only 150,000 troops, and the court can afford 500,000 troops in the past.
Soon someone brought dinner, and it was too late to ask anything, because Huo Mei was really hungry at the moment, because of pregnancy, her appetite was getting better and better, and she was eating more than usual, which undoubtedly made Wei Ling even happier.
"Why don't you eat it?" After eating half of it, Huo Mei realized that Wei Ling had been feeding her, but she hadn't eaten it.
"Feed you first, I'll eat!"
Huo Mei refused, and began to make trouble with Wei Ling, Wei Ling had no choice but to pick up the dishes and chopsticks on the side and eat with Huo Mei, dinner is actually very simple, beef soup with Wusun country's unique pancakes, if this is in Chang'an, it will not appear on the table of the General's Mansion at all, but after all, this is the Western Regions, and it is already rare to get these foods.
Just after eating Gongsun Shi came in, it seemed that he was looking for Wei Ling to have something, Huo Mei was helped by Xiaohong to walk in the tent, although Wei Ling was talking to Gongsun Shi, but the corner of his eye was always watching Huo Mei's movements.
"Xiaohong, it's okay! Help your master come over! Xiaohong helped Huo Mei to sit down next to Wei Ling, and saw Wei Ling first pick up a sweat towel to wipe the thin sweat on Huo Mei's forehead, and then wrap her in a cloak, and then looked at Gongsun Shi.
"You go and make arrangements, find a few people who can speak Wusun Chinese to follow, tomorrow I will go to the Wusun King's Court with Master!"
"I'm going too!" Wei Ling frowned, he naturally refused to take Huo Mei there, after all, Wusun Country was not a Han realm, in case there was something, he was afraid that Huo Mei would be in danger.
"Mer. This is not child's play, Master asked me to accompany him to the Wusun King's Court to discuss with Kunmi about attacking the Xiongnu, I am afraid it will be inconvenient for you to go! β
Home listened. The little face collapsed, and when he looked up at Wei Ling, his eyes were shining with tears, Wei Ling had already panicked when he saw it, what principles were there there.
"Okay, okay, I'll take you there, but you're not in good shape now. Don't run around when you go, you have to follow me! Huo Mei smiled, looking like he had succeeded in his plan. Hooked Wei Ling's neck and kissed him on the cheek, making Xiaohong and Gongsun Shi both turn around very consciously.
"Ah Ling, I'm not unreasonable, I have to go with you! I just got the message. I think that princess is suspicious. Remember the last time you were attacked by those dead soldiers in the General's Palace? I always think that those dead soldiers may really have something to do with the Wusun Kingdom! β
When Wei Ling heard this, her brows furrowed even tighter, and Gongsun Shi's expression was also touched, Xiaohong was quite calm, after all, she had discussed this issue with Huo Mei just now. If that incident is really related to Princess Relief, then the few people present will not give up.
After some preparations, Huo Mei followed Wei Ling to Wusun Country on the second day. On the road, Huo Mei still dressed up as a small servant, but the robe was loose. So I can't see my stomach for the time being.
Wusun Guo Kunmi naturally welcomed Chang Hui's arrival, and personally greeted him outside the royal court's big tent, Chang Hui greeted Weng Guimi with a smile, after all, this was not the first time they had met.
"The king looks refreshed and in good health!" An old man over sixty years old, what he likes to listen to most is naturally that others praise him for his good health, and this Chang Hui also has a deep understanding, so he chatted warmly with Weng Guimi as if he met an old friend.
Wei Ling is the entourage who protects Chang Hui, after Chang Hui sat down, he also sat aside, Huo Mei and Xiaohong and Gongsun Shi were dressed as subordinates, of course, they were not qualified to sit down, they could only stand behind Wei Ling and Chang Hui.
It's okay that the time is short, but after half an hour, Wei Ling couldn't sit still, turned his head to look at Huo Mei's face, his face was full of worry, and Chang Hui quietly commanded the back.
"Why don't you come and pour wine for General Ben?" Huo Mei looked at Chang Hui smartly, saw the smile on the corner of his mouth, and slowly moved to Chang Hui's approach. "Obey the general's orders!"
After saying that, Huo Mei knelt down and began to pour wine for Chang Hui from the copper kettle, although he was kneeling, it was still much better than standing, and Wei Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
After Huo Mei knelt down, he looked at Weng Guimi, who was sitting in the first place, and the legendary all-powerful princess who was worried about it.
Just as Princess Xie Wu was also looking at her, Huo Mei lowered her gaze and respectfully poured wine for Chang Hui, doing her duty as a slave.
"Lord Chang, this is my eldest son Yuan Guimi, that is the future prince of Wusun Kingdom, it is such an honor to welcome the envoys of the Han Dynasty today, this king knows that Lord Chang came with a festival to make friends with my Wusun Kingdom! This king is here to thank His Majesty of the Han Dynasty for his appreciation, and I will be the head of the Emperor for His Majesty! β
As soon as Weng Guimi finished speaking, Ni Mi's face changed, the wine bowl in his hand was broken, and he left angrily.
"Uncle Xiao is not feeling well, that's why he made such a reckless move, please don't blame Master Chang!" Yuan Guimi walked up to Chang Hui and bowed, putting down his figure as the prince of Wusun, which made Chang Hui a little impressed.
"His Royal Highness the Prince doesn't have to be so polite, we are already guests, even if His Royal Highness Nimi has any dissatisfaction, this is reasonable, and these will not affect the cooperation between my Han and Wusun!" Yuan Guimi's face was full of humility, so how did Huo Mei look fake.
Seeing that Yuan Guimi's age is not very old, but he can do it so well, it can be seen that he has been honed on weekdays, and when he looked up at Princess Guimei's eyes, he seemed to be quite satisfied with Yuan Guimi's approach, Huo Mei smiled slightly.
Princess Xie Wu is dressed in the traditional costume of Wusun Kingdom, with a red robe with gold embroidery, and a heavy crown on her head, which is made of pure gold, which shows that Weng Guimi attaches great importance to Princess Xie Wu.
There is not a trace of wrinkles on the face that complements each other, the white little face, the curved willow eyebrows, sitting with Weng Guimi, often showing the delicate state of the little daughter, seeing Weng Guimi's petting/doting look at her, you can see how deep this Kunmi's infatuation with the princess is to relieve worries.
"When Lord Chang first came to Wusun, if there is any inconvenience in food, clothing, housing and transportation, just report it to the internal officials." Princess Xie Wu's words were full of the tone of the hostess, Chang Hui just smiled at Princess Xie Wu, but did not say anything.
Seeing that Chang Hui was not ready to take care of herself, Princess Xie Wu focused on Wei Ling. "The lieutenant general next to Master Chang is dignified, I don't know who he is?
Princess Xie Wu has been away from the Han Dynasty for many years, and she doesn't know much about things in the court, and it is normal not to know Wei Ling, so Wei Ling got up and gave Weng Guimi a big gift to Princess Xie Wu.
"The last general, Wei Ling, has seen King Kunmi, and has seen Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
Wei Ling? These two sons were tumbling in the heart of Princess Xie Wu, and soon their expressions were shocked, as if they finally thought of Wei Ling's identity.
"It turned out to be the descendant of General Wei Qing, and the general Quanxia has knowledge, and he will be relieved to learn that there is such an outstanding descendant as General Wei!"
"Are you a descendant of General Wei Qing?" Weng Guimi also seemed to be interested in Wei Ling's identity, so he couldn't help but chat with Wei Ling, Huo Mei had been secretly observing Princess Xie Wu's expression, seeing her sometimes frowning and sometimes smiling at everyone's appearance, Huo Mei admired her acting skills a little.
Weng Guimi pulled Wei Ling and asked a few words, and Wei Ling returned to his seat, snatched the copper kettle from Huo Mei's hand, and changed it to Wei Ling pouring wine for Chang Hui.
Huo Mei was stunned for a moment, looking at the empty hand, not knowing what to do. Continue to kneel, it seems to be against etiquette, and she is afraid that she will expose her stomach when she gets up.
"You kneel, I'll pour a few glasses of wine for the adults, and you help the adults make vegetables!" Huo Mei nodded obediently, and responded: "The slave obeys the order!" β
picked up the knife in front of him, began to cut the roasted leg of lamb into small pieces, and put it on the plate in front of Chang Hui, with Wei Ling waiting to drink, and Huo Mei waiting to eat, Chang Hui really felt a little honored by his children at the moment, so the smile on his face deepened.
The corners of Gongsun Shi's mouth twitched, his master was really naΓ―ve.
"I don't know what the king of Kunmi has to deal with the Xiongnu?" After three rounds of drinking, things began to get on track, and the surrounding idlers were also sent out by Weng Guimi.
There are only a few cronies of Weng Guimi left in the big tent, as well as Princess Xie Wei and Yuan Guimi, such a battle has completely excluded Mu Mi, Huo Mei suddenly smiled, it seems that this Princess Xie Wei really did not disappoint her. (To be continued......)
