……

Suddenly, the night passed in a blink of an eye, and as soon as the next day dawned, a team of hundreds of Yue clan warriors rode out of the royal court camp and headed northwest.

And Li Shun, who had been tossing for half the night with the two-month girl in his arms, was also woken up by a banging knock on the door, opened his eyes in a daze, and found that the two-month girl was still naked like two little sheep curled up beside him.

"What?" Li Shun rubbed his eyes and sat up lazily, the two girls were awakened, and quickly got up to help Li Shun get dressed.

"My lord, a noble person is coming to visit!" Outside the door, there was a report from the forbidden army.

"Don't let people ......live so early"

Li Shun muttered as he stood up and tidied up his clothes, put on his tiara, and opened the door sleepily, and then saw the two tribal leaders who had attended the dinner yesterday standing outside the door of the yurt, neatly dressed with a flattering smile on their faces, and the slaves behind him were holding some soft leather goods and jade in their hands.

"I'm sorry, I'm tired from the journey, I've overslept, please inside!"

Li Shun hurriedly bowed and welcomed the leader into the yurt with a look of feces on his face, while the two girls hurriedly put on their clothes and helped boil water to serve.

"I am the leader of the Ladan tribe, Rashda......"

Listening to the leader's self-introduction, Li Shun was full of confusion and ordered the forbidden army outside to hurry up and call the interpreter, and after more than ten minutes, the interpreter hurriedly ran in while sorting out his clothes and hair, with eye feces and two dark circles under his eyes, obviously he hadn't slept well for a long time last night.

With the help of the interpreter, Li Shun heard the other party's name clearly this time, and then twitched a few times with his cheek.

...... And it's big.

Your father is definitely not from the Central Plains, otherwise he wouldn't have given you such a stamped name.

The two sides exchanged pleasantries, and as the leader of the Yue tribe who ruled tens of thousands of people, Li Shun still warmly made tea and entertained this ...... Rashi replied, a cup of fragrant hot and refreshing tea, Rashi answered and instantly became more respectful to Li Shun, the two sides talked back and forth for a few minutes, and several other officials also came in with sleepy eyes and dark circles.

Yue's fair-skinned, red-blond curly-haired, long-legged little ladies are certainly beautiful and charming, full of exotic customs, but as the envoy of the Great Qin Emperor, they still have to do the right thing, otherwise when the time comes, if something goes wrong, they will definitely be chopped into meat sauce and made into croquettes by the emperor.

"Most of our Yue clan is in the land of wind, sand and bitter cold, and there are not many products, only these sand fox skins and beautiful jade are sent to the envoy, and please don't dislike the envoy!" Rash said, pointing to some of the objects that lay on the ground.

"King Ladan is too polite, our Central Plains saying is that courtesy is light and affectionate, this sand fox fur is soft and very gorgeous, very good, these pieces of beautiful jade are also warm and delicate, thank you very much, I will bring these back to His Majesty the Great Qin Emperor, convey the good intentions of King Ladan!"

"No, no, these gifts are all from me to the messenger!" King Latan hurriedly waved his hand.

Because of the presence of an interpreter, there was no problem for the two to communicate.

"Give it to me?" Li Shun pointed to his nose in surprise.

"Yes, yes, for you, I drank wine at the king's dinner yesterday, I was not in the mood to sleep all night, I don't know if the messenger can reward me with a bottle ......of wine, these gifts should be regarded as an exchange, if it is too little, I will arrange for someone to rush back to the tribe today to bring some other gifts," Rash replied and quickly explained.

"Hehe, King Ladan is too polite, His Majesty arranged for me to wait for the envoy to the Yue Clan, naturally I have already prepared gifts for the leaders and nobles of the Yue Clan, come here, prepare the gifts for King Ladan!"

"Yes, sir!" An official next to him hurried to fetch a bottle of wine, a piece of silk, a tube of tea leaves, and a set of teapots and cups for making tea, and handed them to Raschda in a handbag.

"This ...... It's too precious! King Ladan took the handbag, looked at a set of fine porcelain and silk tea inside, and his tongue was a little knotted with excitement.

"You're welcome, but the wine for last night's banquet was given to your king by His Majesty the Emperor, and today I have to change to another one to give to King Ladan, except for the porcelain vase, the taste is actually similar, but because we are not familiar with the journey and too far away, we don't carry many gifts, so we can only express a little heart, if King Ladan can support the Yue clan and Daqin to trade, then King Ladan may be able to buy my Daqin's grape wine and silk porcelain in the tribal camp!"

"Yes, yes, I have always admired the wealth of the Central Plains, but it is inconvenient to come and go, if the porcelain and wine of the Central Plains are transported to the Yueshi, they will definitely be very popular, I will definitely persuade the king and the Great Qin to make friends and protect the caravans between the two sides!" Rash nodded repeatedly.

"Haha, that's good, this is also the biggest purpose of His Majesty the Great Qin Emperor to arrange for me to come to the Yue Clan, and it is also the common wish of the Yue Clan and the people of Great Qin!" Li Shun was overjoyed, and after chatting with Rashida again, the forbidden army outside the door reported again, and another noble person came, so Rashida hurriedly left with a bag of gifts.

For the next whole day, Li Shun basically didn't go out much.

From morning to evening, in addition to eating, drinking, and peeing, the group of tribal leaders and some royal personnel who were constantly meeting the Huns, in addition to sending out dozens of bags of gifts, also harvested a large number of various exquisite leather goods and jade, and even several bags of dried fruits, spices and two cans of red rouge, which made Li Shun the most excited, there was even half a bag of pepper.

Although pepper has only appeared in Daqin for less than a year, it has almost become a household name, and everyone knows that it is an exotic spice comparable to gold and other values, and many people have paid a lot of money to buy one or two in Xianyang but cannot get it.

Black pepper steak Li Shun has never eaten, only seen the pepper planted in the manor of Qinghe Hou, but I heard that the folk crazy description is that it is a rare delicacy in the sky and the world, as long as you eat a bite, you will never forget it.

Several other dried fruits and spices are also specialties that are not available in the Central Plains, and there are two that have been tasted at the banquet yesterday, these things are not attractive to Li Shun, but he knows that Hou Ye's favorite is these exotic plant fruits and seeds, so he specially told the attendants to put them away.

As for rouge, it is a wild plant that grows on the edge of the desert mountain, picking flowers in spring and summer and pounding them into red pigments to smear the cheeks, this thing is not available in the Central Plains, but the Central Plains have seen it, the Xiongnu Donghu are produced, very valuable, and can be sold at a good price when transported to the Central Plains, because the quantity is scarce and it is not easy to pick and make, and it must be a valuable gift for the Yueshi people like pepper.

And the word rouge actually originated from the Hu people, which is the transliteration of Yanzhi, which originated from Yanzhi Mountain, that is, the remaining vein of Qilian Mountain at the junction of Yueshi and Xiongnu.

On the way to the Yue Clan's royal court, Li Shun and the others had already inquired very cordially about the Yue clan and even customs and habits with the Yue tribes along the way, and the process of inquiring was very bloody and brutal, but the result was very good, and basically all the people who should have been inquired about were inquired.

"Master Li, there are too many of these things, I'm afraid I won't be able to get them back then!" Several officials looked at the various gifts that almost half of the yurt were piled up and were very worried.

"It's okay, when the time comes, ask the king of the Yue clan to help, let him arrange some camel teams to help transport, and when they arrive in Xianyang, maybe the emperor will reward them with some things to bring back, and the king of the Yue clan will naturally not let go of this opportunity to make a fortune!"

"It's still Lord Li's thoughtfulness!" Several officials began to pat on the back without discipline.

Although Li Shun is the youngest, he has the highest title, and he is also the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, and he is also the most famous reporter in the country, and his reputation is almost known to the world, not to mention that Li Shun has a very good relationship with the Marquis of Qinghe, and the Marquis of Qinghe pulled it up, and this identity alone is enough for countless people to curry favor with Ba Tie, as a few unknown middle and low-level officials, there is no chance to tie up Li Shun on weekdays.

Therefore, this time the envoy returned smoothly, and several people will inevitably have a good relationship with Li Shun, and they will be able to be promoted and make a fortune together in the future.

In the evening, the king of the Yue clan once again held a banquet in the king's tent to entertain Li Shun and a group of envoys.

After a day of exchanging gifts and exchanges, this dinner will be much more harmonious and lively, although the language barrier, but Li Shun and several officials were scattered and accompanied by some tribal leaders and royal families, drinking wine and eating meat to watch beautiful women dance, the atmosphere is very harmonious.

At the dinner, the Yueshi people taught Li Shun and others some of the Yue's customs of eating and drinking, and Li Shun also taught the Yue's people some dice throwing pots, rowing fists, wine orders and other games in the Central Plains, and also took out the dice he carried with him to gather people to gamble on the spot, and after a lively time, he began to introduce the customs and customs of Daqin today, including newspapers, cement, buses, Dongfang Road, cement bridges, waterwheel mills, four-wheeled carriages, etc., with a special focus on the Qinghe Hou and the Shenlei fireworks he invented.

When the interpreter translated these things out of the blue, everyone who listened was stunned.

"Sir, have you ever heard of these things in the Central Plains?" The king of the Yue clan secretly asked Wen Bupo.

"Great King, my subordinates returned to the Yue Clan more than ten years ago, and I haven't heard of these things, but these things shouldn't be fake, just arrange some people to follow the envoy to Daqin!" Wen Bupo whispered.

"Yes, it seems that this matter should be arranged in advance, prepare some gifts to send to Emperor Daqin, and by the way, also inquire about the situation of Daqin!" The Moon King nodded.

"King Nantu, have you ever heard of these things?" A tribal leader beside King Nantu asked in a low voice with an ugly face.

"This king has indeed heard occasionally, there is a very peculiar young man in the Central Plains, only ten years old, who knows strange immortal spells, has a huge reputation, and was named the Marquis of Qinghe by Emperor Daqin, and also married his daughter to him as his wife!"

King Nantu said with a gloomy face as he drank.

"That'...... Then if we had a conflict with Great Qin, wouldn't we have no chance of winning? Another tribal leader said in horror.

"Hmph, so what, my Yueshi and Daqin have always been well water and do not violate river water, Daqin's force is indeed strong, but my Yueshi is not a group of lambs, tigers and wolves compete to see who can hold on for a long time, if you want to gain Daqin's respect and live peacefully, blindly forbearance will only allow others to bully, if the king can't see through this, my Yueshi will inevitably become a vassal of Daqin, and in the future, I will only listen to the command of the Emperor of Daqin like a dog, and the women's treasures will be scavenged by Daqin, and you will still have today's status when that day?" The strong will only respect the strong, and will never be gracious to the wagging tail and begging for mercy, just like the Qiang people, only they will obey when they cry wolf and howl! ”

"What King Nantu said makes sense, even if we can't win, we can't blindly back down, we must teach them a lesson to get equal status!" A clan leader nodded.

"I want to see if the king can't hand over Mao Dun after ten days, the atmosphere will be so harmonious, compromising with Daqin is tantamount to seeking skin with the tiger, but unfortunately many people can't see through it, after you go back this time, you will step up the production of saddles and stirrups, build bows and arrows to train soldiers, and we will definitely have a fierce battle with Daqin!"

"King Nantu, don't worry, we will start preparing when we go back tomorrow!"

Several of the leaders of the blood-soaked clan nodded in unison.
