The founding ceremony is imminent, but Mao Wenlong ushered in a friend who surprised him. This person is King Xianbei, according to Hong Chengchou's explanation, King Xianbei will come because he sent the news early in the morning.

Friendly countries came to visit, Mao Wenlong naturally could not slack off, coinciding with the founding ceremony is imminent, the arrival of King Xianbei is undoubtedly a recognition of the establishment of Mao Wenlong's new dynasty. Yu public and private, Mao Wenlong had no reason to snub King Xianbei.

Before the Xianbei kings arrived outside the city of Xi'an, Mao Wenlong led the courtiers of Xi'an to meet them outside the city gate. Outside the east city gate, the flag fluttering, the big flag with the word Mao fluttering in the wind, looking at the rising sun, there is a group of cavalry in armor in front of them.

The cavalry was sent by Mao Wenlong to escort King Xianbei along the road, and by the way, he showed King Xianbei that he attached importance to him, and the friendly atmosphere laid a good foundation for the upcoming meeting between the two.

After the cavalry arrived, a luxury carriage heavily protected by soldiers stopped more than ten meters away from Mao Wenlong and them. Soon after, King Xianbei and several ministers who accompanied him got out of the carriage and walked quickly to the place where Mao Wenlong stood.

"Hahaha, don't come unharmed, this time the king came without telling me, I hope it didn't make you unhappy." King Xianbei was very polite, and he humbly confessed his guilt first.

"The king is serious, you can come at this time, you can afford me Mao Wenlong, it's too late to welcome, where will there be unhappiness." Mao Wenlong greeted him with a smile, and took a step forward to give each other a gentle hug to King Xianbei.

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and Mao Wenlong invited King Xianbei to get into his carriage, under the escort of many Dongjiang troops. Mighty marched into the east gate of Xi'an, along the lively main street, slowly towards the imperial city.

Soon after entering the city, King Xianbei saw the lively people along the street, he saw the clean streets, as well as the people who lived and worked in peace and contentment, and their faces were full of happiness, and he sighed sincerely: "This Xi'an really deserves its name, and it is very prosperous." ”

Obviously, this prosperous scene in front of him made King Xianbei quite appreciated, and it was appreciated from the heart, not out of jealousy at all.

Xianbei has always been a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty before, but because the Ming Dynasty has been weak for a long time, Chongzhen has been too busy to take care of himself, and he can no longer control Xianbei's affairs. After a long time, the two began to drift apart, and King Xianbei had never set foot in the Ming Dynasty since he inherited the throne.

This led to King Xianbei's understanding of the Ming Dynasty only from a variety of legends, which will see the prosperity of Xi'an with his own eyes, and sigh from the heart!

In fact, under the vigorous development of Mao Wenlong in Xi'an in recent years, it has been comparable to the Tang Dynasty, and even in many aspects, Mao Wenlong has realized that he has done far more than the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. For example, the streets and alleys in Xi'an have all been poured with cement roads, and the clean and tidy cement roads give people a refreshing visual impact.

And now Xi'an City has become an out-and-out gathering place for merchants, which is not unrelated to Mao Wenlong's policy of vigorously developing commercial trade. It can be said that the people and merchants living in the entire city of Xi'an are divided in half.

All of the above reasons made Mao Wenlong's praise for King Xianbei take it for granted.

The carriage soon arrived at the imperial city, and after entering the palace gate, it went directly along Suzaku Street to the outside of the Taiji Palace. King Xianbei and others were invited to get out of the carriage, and everyone entered the Taiji Hall under the support of a group of guards.

The renovated Taiji Palace, there is still a slight smell of paint at the moment, and after everyone sat down separately, Mao Wenlong took the lead in speaking: "The king came this time, and the place where the greeting was not well received was also looking at Haihan." ”

When King Xianbei heard this, he immediately stood up, clenched his fists and said with a smile: "The chief soldier is serious. ”

The two of them were naturally polite again, although Mao Wenlong hated such red tape very much, but Hong Chengchou kept staring at him, reminding him at any time that he must be polite and thoughtful.

After some politeness, King Xianbei presented some 'local specialties' that he brought to congratulate Mao Wenlong. Under his order, nearly a hundred guards were stunned to move back and forth twice, and a mouthful of wooden boxes were piled up in the center of the hall into a small mountain.

Coral, agate, jewelry, gold and silver are all included, judging from this quantity, it is obvious that this time King Xianbei is very generous, and he does not pick the door at all.

Mao Wenlong's mouth was cracked, although most of these gifts in front of him were mundane things, but many of them were really rare treasures. I didn't expect King Xianbei to be so generous, and Mao Wenlong was still quite useful in this regard.

After a little delay, Mao Wenlong accepted it all unceremoniously, and then entered the banquet with King Xianbei, during the banquet, Mao Wenlong asked with a smile: "Has the king had any news of Huang Taiji recently?" ”

King Xianbei shook his head: "General Chen has never stopped searching for Huang Taiji, but unfortunately he seems to have evaporated from the world, and he has never obtained any clues. ”

King Xianbei paused for a moment and asked rhetorically: "The general soldier is still obsessed with Huang Taiji, and in the eyes of this king, it is not necessary. After all, now that the entire grassland is under the control of the Dongjiang Army, even if Huang Taiji doesn't die, he can't make any waves. ”

Mao Wenlong disagreed: "Huang Taiji is by no means an idle person, if he does not die for a day, there will never be a day of peace on the grassland." It is obviously inappropriate to prevent thieves for a thousand days, and only by killing Huang Taiji as soon as possible will the general soldier feel at ease. ”

King Xianbei hesitated for a moment, opened his mouth to speak, but changed his words when the words came to his mouth: "What the chief soldier said is reasonable. ”

For Huang Taiji's understanding, King Xianbei is obviously much deeper than Mao Wenlong. And Xianbei is separated from the grassland, and it is an out-and-out neighbor. Once Huang Taiji makes a comeback, the first to be attacked will inevitably be Xianbei.

It is precisely because of the safety of Xianbei that King Xianbei attaches so much importance to the relationship between him and Mao Wenlong. This time, he did not hesitate to hemorrhage and sent heavy gifts to Mao Wenlong, and his purpose was also obvious, that is, he hoped to continue friendly exchanges with the Dongjiang Army.

Not to mention, after King Xianbei saw the prosperity of Xi'an, he already had an idea in his heart, hoping that this trip could promote trade between Xianbei and Xinming.

After chatting for a while, King Xianbei finally couldn't hold back the matter in his heart, and after a few hesitations, he took a deep breath and made up his mind: "General soldier, this king has something to ask for, I hope you can think about it carefully." ”

Mao Wenlong smiled and squinted at Hong Chengchou, who nodded at him. Mao Wenlong said at this time: "Although the king has something to say, as long as it can be done by the general army, it will definitely not be postponed." ”

King Xianbei was immediately overjoyed, and immediately said: "This king has thanked the general soldiers first. In fact, this matter was informed to Lord Hong early in the morning, and at that time, Lord Hong said that he needed the approval of the general army himself, so it was stranded until now. ”
