The horse's hooves were gouging on the bluestone-paved street, and the horse's paw collided with the bluestone to make a crisp sound, and the general of the Qianguo who led the troops glanced at the Persians and the Bada people, and shouted loudly with a long lance: "The general Zuo Jin Wuwei Zuo Yi Zhonglang will be Dugujin, who is responsible for the street inspection of Wannian County today, no matter who you are, now quickly put down your weapons, otherwise you will be killed!" ”

The six hundred soldiers who had brought with them stamped on the ground with their spears and shouted in unison: "Roar, roar, roar······"

The Persians and the Bada people didn't understand Dugujin's words, they only felt that this group of cadres was murderous and didn't seem to be easy to mess with, but the Persian prince Belus and the Hinda prince Wenhe didn't make a sound, and none of their men put down their weapons.

Dugu Jin saw that these barbarians didn't put down their weapons, if they didn't surrender their weapons today, there would be no place for his face to be put in the middle of the Zuojin Wuwei General, and he wouldn't be able to raise his head in front of his colleagues in the future.

"Crossbowmen ready!"

With a loud roar from Dugujin, two hundred crossbowmen quickly stepped forward from behind, squatted down, and aimed their crossbows at the Persians and Bada people respectively.

Wen He and Belus were a little flustered at this time, they didn't know how powerful this thing was, and they also understood that Dugu Jin wanted them to put down their weapons, so they immediately asked their subordinates to put down their weapons.

"Bang dang······ Bang dang ······" A spear and a scimitar were dropped on the ground with a crisp sound.

Dugu Jin breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, if this group of barbarians would rather die than put down their weapons, he really didn't know how to deal with it, and when the time came, he was afraid that he would only be forced to disarm.

"Come on, gather all the weapons on the ground!"

Some soldiers of the Jinwu Guards stepped forward to collect all the weapons on the ground, and then Dugujin sent someone to the relevant yamen to call an interpreter.

"General, the interpreter is here!" A sergeant led a middle-aged junior officer over and said.

The middle-aged official arched his hand to Dugujin and said, "This official is Bo Hanyue, the master of Honglu Temple!" ”

Dugu Jin hugged his fists: "Han Zhu Bo came just in time, presumably Han Zhu Bo is no stranger to these two groups of people, right?" They wanted to fight openly on the street, but they were stopped by Ben with his troops, but fortunately Ben led his troops in time, otherwise I really don't know what would have happened! You tell them that their weapons are temporarily kept by the general Zuo Jin Wuwei, and they will be returned to them when they leave Chang'an, and now you let them return to their residences, during this period in Chang'an, there can be no more conflicts, if they are bumped into by the general again, no matter who they are, they have to go to the Zuo Jin Wuwei Yamen to go through the hall and pass the court! ”

"Understood!" Han Yue agreed, turned to the Persian prince Belus and the prince of Bada Wenhe and said: "Two princes, I am Bo Han Yue, the master of Honglu Temple, no matter what grievances there are between you, you must not use force in my Daqian, whoever uses force first, I will sanction whoever first!" Your weapons will be kept by us for the time being, and we will return when you are gone!" Now, please depart with your escort and retinue, and there will be no further incidents!" ”

Belus and Wen He listened to Han Yue's words, glared at each other, each let out a cold snort, and waved his hand: "Let's go!" ”

In the blink of an eye, the two parties walked cleanly.

Dugujin looked at Han Yue and complained: "Master Han, our Jin Wuwei has been working very hard to manage the security of Chang'an City every day, and I bother you Honglu Temple to keep these two classes of uneasy guys in prison, don't make trouble for us Jin Wuwei, okay?" ”

Han Yue couldn't help but smile bitterly: "General Dugu, our Honglu Temple is not easy, the surrounding countries have envoys in Chang'an, our officials in Honglu Temple get up earlier than chickens every day and sleep later than dogs, do you think we don't want to take care of these guys, legs grow on them, and we can't tie them up!" ”

Dugujin was helpless and waved his hand: "Forget it, you go, I will take people to patrol the streets, and those uneasy Wuhou under him, as long as they don't stare at it, they can find a place to hide and sleep!" ”

But it was said that Belus and Wen He were not idle after they returned to their residences, they didn't really come to play, but they had a mission, and now they met the enemy in Chang'an, of course, they had to figure out what the other party was going to do in Chang'an, and only by figuring out the other party's purpose could they make targeted countermeasures.

So, Belus and Wenhe each sent someone out to inquire about the news.

"Shapur, send someone to inquire who the most powerful minister in the Qianguo is besides the emperor and empress!"

Shapur was about to agree, but he thought it was a turn of his mind, and said to Belus: "Your Highness, I don't know who the most powerful minister of the Qianguo is, but this person should be a scheming guy, Your Highness is afraid that it will be very difficult to get the news we want to know from his mouth, I think we might as well start with the prince of Qianguo, the emperor of Qianguo is not too old, his son is in his early twenties at most, Your Highness might as well make friends with the prince of Qianguo, you are all young people, you will definitely have the same hobbies and interests, and we can talk about it later. If Your Highness wants to inquire about the news, it is easiest to get it from the prince of Qian! ”

Belus's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he immediately said: "That's right, that's right, you immediately send someone to inquire about how many sons the Emperor of Qianguo has, who can get along best and can easily access the secrets of Qianguo!" ”

"Yes!"

It took Shapur only an afternoon to inquire about it, and he reported to Belus: "Your Highness, I have inquired! Emperor Qianguo had a total of five sons, but only the first and second sons were adults, and the other three sons were not yet adults! In addition, the crown prince of the Qianguo served in the army in the border fortress, and the specific location is unknown; The second son is called Zhao Ping, who was named the King of Shu, I heard that he served in a department called the Imperial City Division, and this King of Shu has a very easy-going temperament, he is eighteen years old this year, and he is two years younger than Your Royal Highness, so he should get along very well! ”

Belus immediately asked: "I'm afraid it's not easy for me to visit him, the palace is not easy to enter!" ”

Shapur said with a smile: "Your Highness, rest assured, the prince who has come of age in the Qianguo Kingdom is going to live in the palace, this King of Shu has his own mansion in the city, I have already inquired about the location of his palace, if His Highness wants to visit him, we can go tonight!" ”

Belus was overjoyed and said, "Great! Well, go and prepare a gift for me, and I'll take it with him!" ”

Shapur hesitated a little, "Your Highness, as the prince of the Qianguo, the King of Shu must not lack gold, silver and jewelry, and it is difficult for him to be moved by ordinary gifts!" ”

Belus thought that this was indeed the case, and he thought about it, and said to Shapur: "In this case, you go and feed my favorite horse with good bean cakes, let it be full, and take it with me to visit the king of Shu later!" ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Just after nightfall, Belus came to the door of the Shu King's Mansion under the protection of Shapur with a few guards to ask to see Zhao Ping, in order to facilitate communication, Belus also specially paid for Persia, who had been doing business in Chang'an for a long time, as a translator.

Zhao Ping was washing up and preparing for dinner, when he heard a report from the person in front of him that the Persian prince Belus had asked to see him, he quickly got up and said, "Quickly change the clothes of this king!" ”

Soon, Zhao Ping wore a royal robe and came to the gate of the mansion with a few family members, today he saw Belus in the court, and he bowed his hand to Belus: "His Royal Highness Prince Belus is here, which really makes the cold house shine, this king has lost his welcome, forgive his sins, forgive his sins!" ”

The Persian translator translated Zhao Ping's words, and Belus hurriedly said: "It was Belus who took the liberty to come to disturb His Royal Highness the King of Shu, please don't blame Your Highness!" As soon as Belus arrived in Chang'an, he heard about the virtuous name of His Royal Highness the King of Shu and admired him, so after meeting His Majesty the Emperor today, he couldn't wait to send someone to inquire about His Royal Highness's residence, so he rushed over! ”

Zhao Ping gave his hand again: "His Royal Highness Belus has praised it falsely!" ”

"I bring a gift to His Royal Highness the King of Shu, I hope His Royal Highness can like it, come here, and bring the black wind over!"

A Persian warrior brought over a tall, long, jet-black horse, which looked extremely miraculous, and Zhao Ping couldn't take his eyes off it after just looking at it.

Belus introduced: "It is called Black Wind, and it is the fastest and longest horse in our Persia, and it runs like a black wind, so I call it Black Wind, and its parents are also the most powerful horses in our Persia, and its blood is very pure!" ”

Zhao Ping loved this black wind very much, reached out and touched its head, but was thrown away by it, Zhao Ping was not only not annoyed, but more happy, but all horses with temper are good horses, this is almost an iron law.

"The gift of His Highness Belus is too valuable, this king has never seen such a tall horse! Come on, take the black wind to the stable and feed it with good beans! ”

"No!" A family member stepped forward and took the black wind away.

Zhao Ping bowed his hand to Belus: "Please invite Your Highness into the mansion for tea!" ”

"Please!"

The two marched into the palace side by side, and Zhao Ping entertained Belus to sit and drink tea in the front hall, and then ordered someone to prepare wine and meat, and sent someone to find a singer to help the fun.

It didn't take long for Zhao Ping and Belus to chat while eating and dancing amid singing and dancing.

After three rounds of drinking, Zhao Ping asked with a smile: "Your Highness shouldn't be here just for gifts, right?" I have always been a useless person, and if Your Highness needs the help of this king, as long as it does not violate the laws and regulations, this king will never shirk! ”

Belus put down the wine cup and said: "I think it's too boring for us to call each other His Highness, I call you Zhao Ping, you call me Belus, how about it?" ”

"Hahaha······ Okay, that's it! ”

Belus said: "Zhao Ping, I do have something to ask you to help with, this matter should not be difficult for you, and it does not violate your laws and regulations, I just want to know what the people are doing in Chang'an!" ”

Zhao Ping's chopsticks smiled froze, and the chopsticks stopped in the air, but he quickly reacted and said: "I really don't know about this matter, but don't worry, this matter is easy to hear, I will go into the palace tomorrow to ask, you wait for my news!" ”

Belus rejoiced, "I'm waiting for your news!" ”

Belus didn't stay long, only ate a few things and went back.

Zhao Ping drank by himself, but he was thinking about whether to go to the palace to report this matter, but it didn't take long for Menzi to report again: "Your Highness, Prince Wenhe asks to see you!" ”

"Hey, what's the matter today, a Persian prince just left, and here another prince is coming?"
