Chapter 54: The Banquet at the Palace

At ten o'clock in the evening, the king of Khan sent someone to pick up Yang Yun to the palace for a banquet, got on a gorgeous ox cart, and came to the palace gate in a short time.

The palace of the Khan King Tuoba Ye is also composed of tents surrounded by stone walls, and there is a huge statue in front of the palace gate, which is dozens of meters high.

This statue is very peculiar, with a horse body and a snake tail, and what is even more strange is that it actually has the heads of twelve animals, which happens to be the same as Yang Yun's previous world. , the zodiac signs are the same. Yang Yun had heard Qi Ye say that this strange animal was the ancient beast god that all the tribes of Liuyi believed in. Looking at the reverence of the Liuyi people coming and going at the gate of the palace, it can be seen that the status of the ancient beast gods in their hearts is extremely sacred.

The banquet was held in a huge tent, and when Yang Yun and the others arrived, there were already many people sitting inside. There was a high platform facing the door, and a huge chair was placed on the platform, and there was no one on it, so I guess this should be the position of the Khan King Tuoba Ye!

The Liuyi officials sitting inside saw a few big Fu people walking in, and of course they could guess their identities, but no one took the initiative to stand up and say hello. After a long while, Liang Yi, the left bone capital who had met in the afternoon, came over with a smile and welcomed Yang Yun and several Dafu officials to several positions and sat down. And introduce them to several important officials.

On the first seat at the bottom left of the high platform sat a thin old man, he was Yeda, the king of Liuyi Zuo, and when he heard that he was introduced, he smiled and nodded to Yang Yun. And when it came to the right king Kuban, who was the first one on the right side of the high platform, this fat man of fifty just snorted and did not make any other moves.

The attitude of the two was completely expected by Yang Yun, and he followed Liang Yi's introduction, while greeting the officials of Liuyi, and at the same time, taking advantage of the fact that the King of Khan had not yet arrived, he asked a few guards who came with him to hand out the leaflets they brought to the officials of Liuyi.

At this time, a shout was suddenly heard: "The Khan King has arrived!" The crowd immediately sat down in their places and looked at the door. After a while, a burly man in his forties walked in surrounded by a group of people, and sat down directly on the high platform. Yang Yun and the others knew that this person was Tuoba Ye, the Khan King of Liuyi.

"This must be the prince of Fuguo, he is really young and promising!" After Tuoba Ye sat down, he didn't wait for anyone to introduce him, and said in the direction where Yang Yun was.

Seeing this, Yang Yun immediately stood up, saluted Tuoba Ye respectfully, and said loudly: "Foreign Minister Yang Yun has seen the King of Khan, I wish the King Khan a long life and good health!" He led the mission in the next day, and hoped that our two countries would turn hostility into friendship forever. I specially brought the letter of the Great Fu Kingdom, and invited the King of Khan to read it. With that, he took out a scroll and handed it to a rogue eunuch.

The king of Khan took the scroll handed by the eunuch, but did not open it, put him aside, and then said in a loud voice: "There is no hurry in this matter, you have been tired all the way, and today you will taste our wine and enjoy our singing and dancing." ”

Since King Khan didn't want to talk about political affairs now, Yang Yun and the others had to calm down and enjoy everyone. And let the subordinate officials try to take the initiative as much as possible, and strive to establish friendship with some officials, so as to facilitate the next step.

At this time, someone brought a plate of fruit, Yang Yun couldn't help but be stunned, isn't this a grape? Yang Yun has always been able to make red wine in the Cheetah Department, but there are no grapes planted in Dafu, so he didn't expect to find it here.

Eating sweet grapes, watching the exotic dance danced by the Liuyi girl, and changing cups with Liuyi. Yang Yun found that this rogue official was also different. Some of them get along very well with the officials of Dafu, and some of them ignore the people of Dafu, and it is estimated that these two parts of the people belong to the forces of the left king Yeda and the right king Kuban!

Liuyi people are good at wine, and when guests come, they feel that the most warm way to receive them is to accompany them with wine. In this case, many of the Liuyi officials were so drunk that their faces were flushed, and the officials of Dafu were even more unbearable, and many of them were so drunk that they were lying on the table. Yang Yun was the object of everyone's attention, and after a while, he drank so much that he didn't know anything, and when he woke up, he found that he was already lying in the tent of the station.

The next day, he slept until three o'clock in the morning, still feeling pain, and seeing that the Khan King did not inform the two parties to hold a meeting, Yang Yun decided to go out for a walk. After walking a short distance with some guards, Qi Wei quietly told Yang Yun that there were Liuyi people quietly following behind.

Not knowing which force this stalker belonged to, Yang Yun listened to Ju Yuanguang's advice, deliberately pretended not to know, and continued to walk forward. After walking for several streets, these "tails" were still hanging far behind them, and when he saw a shop selling furs in front of him, Yang Yun thought about it and walked in with a dozen or so people.

When these Liuyi people who were following from afar saw Yang Yun and the others walking into the store, they were not in a hurry, but they just waited at the back from a distance, because they knew that this shop did not have a back door, and they would come out of it sooner or later.

After about a stick of incense, I saw Yang Yun and his party walking out of the shop and continuing to walk forward, and these Liuyi people hurriedly followed.

However, what they didn't know was that not long after they left, three people dressed in Liuyi costumes walked out.

The three people who walked out were Yang Yun, Yanqin and Liu Yue, who changed their clothes in the store, confusing the Liuyi people who were following them.

Yang Yun and the three of them went out of the store, took out a map, and followed the instructions on the map to a small courtyard. Walking into a tent in the courtyard, a young man who was busy inside saw them, pointed to the back, and walked to the gate of the courtyard and stood guard there.

Yang Yun and the three of them walked through the tent in front of them, came to a tent in the back, lifted the tarpaulin in front of the door, and walked in, only to see seven or eight people sitting inside waiting for them. Seeing them come in, all the people inside stood up and shouted softly, "Hello young master! "It turned out that this group of people was Yao Xia and some of the good men of the Cheetah Department who came here as business travelers in advance.

Everyone was very happy to meet their brothers and sisters in a different place. Yao Xia and the others told Yang Yun that during the days when they arrived in Yangting ahead of schedule, they mainly did three things according to the original plan. The first is to familiarize yourself with the terrain of Yangting and find a route that can be withdrawn at a critical moment; deliberately got acquainted with some Liuyi officials, and it is best to find out Liuyi's attitude towards this matter; Eventually, they found some way to buy a bunch of horses in Liuyi, which they kept on the farm in case they needed it.

Yao Xia and the others only arrived in Liuyi more than 20 days earlier than Yang Yun, and Yang Yun was still very happy to have done so many things. Next, Yang Yun assigned another task to Yao Xia and others, asking them to inquire which officials in the DPRK and China were inclined to ally with Dafu, and they could move around more at that time.

Everyone was very happy to see each other in a different place, and chatted for a long time unconsciously, in order not to attract the attention of the Liuyi people, after determining the contact location and contact person, Yang Yun and the three quietly left the small courtyard through the back door and returned to the station.

As if he had forgotten Yang Yun and his party, the Khan did not summon the delegation again for five days. Sent people to the palace to inquire about the news, but the guards outside the palace gate stopped them outside the palace on the grounds that the Khan was busy with affairs recently and was waiting for news. But from the news inquired by Yao Xia and others, King Khan has been in the palace for the past few days, and nothing major has happened, it seems that King Khan did it intentionally.

The current situation made Yang Yun feel very helpless, and he gathered everyone in the mission together to discuss how to deal with the current situation. After some discussion, everyone agreed that they could not wait passively like this, but had to take the initiative to promote the process of this matter.
