Chapter 826: The Messenger Descends

An old man in a cloth robe beside the king of the Yue clan slowly walked out, and finally came to a distance less than ten zhang away from the Qin army, respectfully bowed his hand to Li Shun on the carriage and said in a very fluent Central Plains dialect: "I am a subordinate of the Yue Clan's account, Wen Bupo, but after the Gao Yang Clan, the Yue Clan King wants to ask why you suddenly came to my Yue Clan's royal court?" ”

"Master Li, how do I answer?" The interpreter turned his head to look at Li Shun tremblingly.

Just now, he was about to lead the standard-bearer out to negotiate with the Yue's people, but before he could go out, the Yue's people attacked, so he was quickly protected by the forbidden army again, and at this time, he was still playing one after another on his horse.

After being an official in the Pawn Administration for more than ten years, he has never been on the battlefield, nor has he ever seen so many enemies savagely rushing and killing, and he has never seen the ferocity of the Great Qin generals with his own eyes.

The scene was very bloody, but it was their own people who won.

The body's response is half nausea, half excited and agitated.

"Since he can speak the Central Plains, this official will go to negotiate with him in person!"

Li Shun tidied up his clothes and tiara, then let the groom drive out, stopped less than two zhang away from Wen Bupo, and said in a condescending voice: "This official is an envoy appointed by the Emperor of Great Qin himself, and he specially came to the Yue Clan to negotiate one matter, your Yue Clan has nothing to do with my Great Qin, and His Majesty has never sent troops to crusade against your Yue Clan, why are you Yue Clan so hostile to my Great Qin envoy, do you think that my Great Qin can be bullied!" ”

Wen Bupo opened his mouth wide for a long time, and his psychology was abnormally bitter.

Obviously, you bullied us, okay, you killed hundreds of us in a moment, but this matter was obviously the first move of the Yue people, so they could only swallow their teeth, so they had to bow their hands again and said: "I didn't know that you were the envoy of the Great Qin Emperor, and today I didn't want to attack the envoy's honor guard, but I was going to attack the tribe of the Qiang people today, and the tribe that attacked the envoy didn't know the reason for the chaos, and the king has now restrained the tribe from attacking again, and appointed me to communicate with the envoy about the reason, Since you were sent by Emperor Daqin, I will go back to the King to ask for instructions!" ”

"Well, go quickly, we have encountered the attack of the Yue tribe along the way, and the loss is not small, if the king of the Yue clan does not give this envoy a satisfactory answer, this envoy will inevitably be presented to the emperor after returning to Beijing, and if the army is pressed by the border, your Yue clan will be crushed into powder in an instant." Li Shun nodded while not forgetting Chen Xu's orders, and threatened him shamelessly.

After Wen Bupo retreated to the Yue clan's camp, he soon saw that the Yue clan people began to withdraw and retreat, while the Yue clan king slowly greeted him with hundreds of people holding banners with Daxu and more than a dozen different totem marks, and soon the two sides were only ten zhang apart.

And the Qin army had also put away bows, arrows, knives and guns under Li Shun's order at this time.

"King Yue, the envoy was ordered by Emperor Daqin to send an envoy to the Yue Clan, but you had no other intentions, but you showed the intention of attacking us and others, could it be that this is the hospitality of your Yue Clan?"

Li Shun sat in the luxurious four-wheeled carriage and looked coldly at the Yue Clan King and a group of tribal leaders in different costumes around him.

He had followed Jiang Hu to raid the Xiongnu royal court, and just through these different banners and costumes, he knew that the identity of these people should be the nobles of the Yue clan.

Because whether it is the Yueshi people, the Xiongnu or the Donghu, the basic living habits of these nomads on horseback are almost the same, because they can't grow hemp and weave cloth, so they wear all kinds of leather, even if there is cloth, it is transported back from the Central Plains by merchants thousands of miles, which is very valuable, and only the nobles can enjoy it, as for silk, these barbarians have never seen it.

Among this group of people, most of them are also wearing gorgeous robes, and there are also a few scribes and staff-like characters wearing cloth clothes, and their appearance, clothes, and hair accessories are very similar to those of the Central Plains, which should be the descendants of the Central Plains who have been exiled to the Yue Clan.

In the face of Li Shun's rebuke, many people around the Yue Clan King couldn't help but hold down the weapons on their waists, but they were stopped by the Yue Clan King raising his hand.

"Please also ask the envoy to forgive the sin, this king has already heard the ministers tell the truth, this king has absolutely no intention of attacking the envoy, it is just a misunderstanding!" When the king of the Yue clan spoke, he turned out to be speaking the Central Plains dialect with a Yan Zhao accent, although it was not particularly neat, but everyone listened to it softly.

"It turns out that the king of the Yue clan can speak my original language, that's good, it seems that this trip to the Yue clan will be much smoother, haha, since it is a misunderstanding, then the envoy will rest assured!" Li Shun stood up from his seat and laughed.

The old man of the Yue Clan also showed a smile on his face, "It is indeed a misunderstanding, the envoy is a guest from afar, please go to the king's tent with this king to rest and entertain, and at the same time, I can know the purpose of the envoy sent by the Great Qin Emperor!" ”

"That's nature, King Yue, please~"

"Messenger please~"

The hundreds of guards of the Yue Clan King spread out on both sides, and Li Shun slowly walked into the passage of the line with three hundred forbidden troops.

These hundreds of people of the Yue clan were all young and strong men with tigers on their backs, all of them carrying rough longbows and quivers, their hands pressed the hilt of the sword at their waists, and they looked angrily at the Qin soldiers who were coming slowly, both unwilling and frightened.

And all the Qin soldiers were covered in pitch black armor, holding a forest of Changge and banners, escorting Li Shun's messenger and accompanying officials on both sides, among which hundreds of people were covered in blood and looked hideous and terrifying, with cold eyes, and the horses that did not squint walked through the middle without any timidity.

A one-sided massacre set up a majestic style, although the war was very short, but what was left to the thousands of Yue clan army was a complete fear, so when the Yue Clan's team entered the camp of the Yue Clan's royal court, there were all the Yue clan people hiding in terror, many of them were still unconvinced and wanted to rush up to provoke, but after watching this neat forbidden army approach step by step, they all began to slowly retreat.

Soon before the procession came to the king's tent, everyone dismounted and got out of the car, Li Shun held a scroll of the emperor's edict, and followed the king of the Yue clan and a group of tribal leaders into the king's tent with only an interpreter.

The king of the Yue clan sat on the main seat, and more than ten clan leaders also sat down on both sides again, and the cooked large pieces of beef and mutton, horn cups and mare's milk wine were still placed on the table, and the king's tent was filled with a strong suffocating smell, which was the smell of leather all year round, although the Yue people were used to this taste, but the smoked Li Shun almost spit it out.

However, with the task in his body, Li Shun didn't dare to be too public, standing in the center of the tent, his brows frowned slightly, and he raised the edict and said: "King Yue, Emperor Daqin's edict, please stand up and welcome the holy decree!" ”

The interpreter standing next to Li Shun translated Li Shun's words loudly, Wen Bupo stood next to the king of the Yue clan and also translated Li Shun's words, and there was an uproar in the king's tent, among which seven or eight tribal leaders stood up directly and drew their swords and glared, and some people began to roar loudly, although Li Shun didn't understand, but he must have known that he was swearing.

The king of the Yue clan did not make any move, still sitting quietly in his position, watching a group of tribal leaders become more and more excited, and after a while, he raised his hand and said coldly: "My Yue clan is not the princes of the Central Plains, and this king is not a vassal of Great Qin, the envoy should read out the edict of Emperor Great Qin, don't make extraneous branches!" ”

"Yes, the envoy should explain his intention directly, although Daqin is strong, my Yue clan is not a lamb!" King Zuoping, who was sitting under the King of the Yue Clan, also spoke slowly.

Listening to the translator translate the words of King Zuo Ping, Li Shun's expression on his face remained unchanged, these are all expected things, but as a messenger, you still have to pretend to be good when you should pretend, this is Chen Xu's order when leaving, after all, if this sentence plays a role, the king of the Yue clan timidly stood up and took the edict, and this matter will inevitably have an unparalleled impact on the entire Yue clan, and the people's morale and morale of the Yue clan will be greatly suppressed.

However, the king of the Yue clan didn't accept the offer, and Li Shun didn't care.

Pretending to be forced is also a matter of people, the Yue clan is a neighbor of Daqin, and has a vast territory, and the warriors of all tribes add up to more than 100,000, not a lamb to be ravaged and slaughtered, you can touch it a few times, if you really want to fight, you will definitely knock your teeth, and the most important thing is that this is the core territory of the Yue people, thousands of miles away from the border of Daqin, since the Yue people have been soft now, continuing to be aggressive will only cause unpredictable consequences.

"Haha, the king of the Yue clan is really bold, and the envoy's approach is just to carry out the emperor's orders, since the king of the Yue clan insists on this, when the emperor asks about the envoy and reports the truth, but the king of the Yue clan can rest assured, and the emperor will not blame him......"

Li Shun smiled and unfolded the edict.

"The edict of the first emperor of the Great Qin: Yueshi and Great Qin are neighbors of each other, and have been living in peace for nearly a hundred years, this time the envoy was sent to come only for one thing, the Huns attacked my Central Plains border for hundreds of years, and last year has been destroyed by my Great Qin, only the Xiongnu prince Mao Dun pledged in your Yueshi, please Yueshi will hand over Mao Dun to the envoy to bring back to Daqin to accept punishment, in order to show gratitude, special reward tea, porcelain, silk, wine, glass a car ......"

Li Shun read a sentence, the interpreter of the Pawn Office and Wen Bupo each translated a sentence, and when Li Shun finished reading, the entire big tent was quiet for a while, and even the few clan leaders who drew their swords to cut Li Shun looked at the Yue Clan King in confusion.

"King, who is Maudun?" King Nantu, who had black hair and a long robe and a gloomy face, saluted to the king of the Yue clan and said.

"Yes, Great King, what is the Xiongnu Prince Maodun that the Great Qin Emperor said, how can it be pledged in my Yue's clan?" Several other tribal leaders asked.

The calm face of the king of the Yue clan changed slightly, and he looked at Li Shun with a slight sigh and said: "The king doesn't know about the matter of Maodun yet, the envoy has come from afar, please go to wash and rest for a while, and after the king finds out, he will give the envoy a satisfactory answer!" ”

"Thank you, this envoy is waiting for the news of the Yue Clan King, retire!"

Li Shun didn't say much, and took the interpreter to exit the Yueshi King's big tent under the leadership of the Yueshi girl, and then went to a nearby big tent to wash and rest.
