Because he was going to participate in the field hunt at 3 o'clock the next day, Tuoba Shen did not leave the museum again for a whole day. In the morning, after going to the front hall to see Li Biao and others, Tuoba Shen went back to bed, reading books and sorting out documents by the window. Even the matter that originally promised him to visit the Xie family with him could only be postponed first.

Before sunset in the afternoon, the museum received a document from the Shangshu Province of the Southern Dynasty as a certificate of participation in the martial arts.

On the second day (1 a.m.), when the moon was in the middle of the day, the Gyeonguikan started a busy day earlier than usual.

Lu Guang and Liu Teng got up early, went to the vestibule to the slaves and maids, and ordered the slaves and maids to prepare breakfast and tea, and took the slaves and maids to light lamps and candles in the corridors inside and outside the hall, between the doors and walls, and returned to the back bed after a quarter of an hour in the hall.

Lu and Liu entered Tuoba Shen's room, but saw Tuoba Shen standing in front of the couch, and Mrs. Chen was serving and dressing with the maidservant.

"Can Li Gong and the others get up?" Tuoba asked cautiously after Mrs. Chen helped her tie the belt. It's just that there is still some bed air between words.

"It's already up. Yu Shilang asked that Jiankang City is under martial law inside and outside at the moment, and the Southern Dynasty Praetorian Guards and Taiwan troops are guarding and patrolling everywhere, so I would like to ask Your Highness, do you want to bring more guards to be prepared? ”

Tuoba thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Good! ”

The Southern Dynasty issued martial law after nightfall yesterday, and before sunrise, all non-duty officials and generals who could not participate in military lectures and ministries were not allowed to go outside. There must be a lot of sergeants outside outside to inspect the city. Those who are blind in the dark light are not familiar with the place, and they are more courageous and stronger, and their safety is more secure.

After taking care of it, I went to the front hall to meet with Li Biao, Jiang Shaoyou, Yu Zhong and others, and had some breakfast. Because I didn't know how much time it would take to talk about martial arts, I didn't dare to use more liquid food, so I just ate something hastily and left the museum.

When I walked outside the gate, I saw two carriages parked outside the door, and there were several lanterns hanging on the carriages. The accompanying guards were also divided into two groups, each standing in front of and behind the carriage with his sword.

In the moonlight that reaches the middle of the sky, you can still see people coming and going on the road. Tuoba cautiously guessed that these might be foreign envoys from each country to the Southern Dynasties, and from a distance, their clothes were not the same as those of the Southern Dynasties. Among these people, there are those who are near Linyi (Vietnam), Gao (Ju) Li, and the envoys of Baekje, and those who are far away are the Wa Kingdom, and even those who are Qiuzi and Persia. These countries were all frequent visitors to the Southern Dynasties at this time. It's just that these people are very mixed, not to mention Goguryeo and Baekje, these relatively close countries, the identity of their envoys is generally trustworthy, as for the Wa Kingdom, Persia, these distant countries, many times are fraudulently claimed by private businessmen, but the Southern Dynasty is in the way, and will not really investigate it, after all, it is also a slap in the face if it is exposed!

Tuoba Shen looked up at the moon and thought to himself: Maybe I can meet the Rouran envoy later!

Rouran and the Southern Dynasties have maintained contacts since the Liu Song period, the former Shizu Emperor unified Hebei and crusaded against Rouran during the period, Liu Song and Rouran many times privately exchanged envoys, or land or water communication, but because they were too far apart, and secondly, the two sides did not trust each other, so they did not form a de facto flanking trend against this dynasty.

"Knock...... "Knock ......" came from the direction of Jiankang Palace, at first it seemed a little farther away, and in the next few breaths, four or five bells followed.

Li Biao looked at Jiankang Palace and said: "Your Highness, this is the martial law drum of the Southern Dynasty. ”

"Let's go!" Now it is a drum, five drums and five quarters, almost half an hour, fortunately, the Qingyi Pavilion is not far from Jiankang Palace, and the car shop is enough to reach Guangmomen in two or three quarters.

After getting into the car, the group went to Guangmomen in the north of Jiankang Palace.

Just out of the museum did not feel that there were many people, and when they arrived at the official road outside the Jiankang Palace, there were more and more people, or cars or feet rushed to the direction of Guangmomen, and there were patrols on both sides of the official road from time to time to patrol the city to verify the official documents. By the time they reached the vicinity of the northwest corner tower of Miyagi, Tuoba Shen's group had already been inspected five times, because many of them were armed with knives, and dozens of men had been assigned by a military lord to follow.

Looking at the dozens of candles blazing in the square in front of Guangmo Gate a few hundred steps away, Tuoba Shen reflected the light of the fire and ordered to stop the car. After getting out of the car with Li Biao and Jiang Shaoyou, he said to Zhong in Xianbei language: "Yu Qing and go with Lonely, right?" Qingjiu was in the army in Jingyi, and the Southern Dynasty also came for the first time. In recent years, although there have been occasional conflicts with the Southern Dynasties, there have been no major wars, and Qing Zheng can take this opportunity to observe the military ranks of the Southern Dynasties. Today, since the Southern Dynasty is intimidating us with force, all the armies it sees will be exhausted with their elite. Gu and Li Biao and others know very little about the army, so they are not as clear as Yu Qing. ”

After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for Yu Zhong to reply, glanced at the Southern Dynasty soldiers who were confused because he said Xianbei language, and said in Luoyang dialect: "Qing and go to the sword first, and the army can go back to the hall first." ”

Now that they have arrived at the place, it is not good to let the accompanying sergeants come down again, they are carrying weapons, and the sergeants of the Southern Dynasty who followed them will naturally not leave out of their duties, and there will definitely be relevant departments of the Southern Dynasty coming to find trouble later, so it is better to send them back to the museum as soon as possible.

Yu Zhong was born in a military family, although he has been a military attache in Pingcheng all these years, and he has no chance to go to Liuzhen and Guanzhong Qin and Liang, but rushing to kill the territory is a deep preference of Xianbei men in the bloodline, and it is naturally no exception for him. Although his main task on this trip to the south was to protect Tuoba Shen, he also wanted to see the Taiwanese army of the Southern Dynasty in his heart. Now after listening to Tuoba Shen's words, he stepped forward and agreed, and ordered Yu Lin to take the sergeants back to the Qingyi Pavilion, leaving only the carriage and two sergeants who could drive.

At this time, the martial law drum had already sounded three times, and two more drums were about to come out. Time is rare, Tuoba Shen didn't talk nonsense anymore, and after sending the accompanying Taiwanese soldiers of the Southern Dynasty, he walked to Guangmomen with Li Biao and the other three.

The square in front of Guangmo Gate was already full of court officials wearing red clothes, wearing beams and crowns, or holding them in their hands, with wat boards, official seal ribbons and wooden swords inserted in the leather belt in their waists.

Tuoba Shen, Li Biao and the others did not run into the crowd, most of these people were officials from various departments who were on duty to send Xiao Zhen away, and the team was lined up, just waiting for the emperor to come out, wouldn't it be a lot of attention to rush in. So a few people had to wander around the periphery, looking left and right, looking for a while, only to see a large group of people in strange costumes in the northwest corner of the square, knowing that these were foreign envoys who came to visit the Southern Dynasty to talk about martial arts, so several people walked forward.

Here, these people who are not from Nanqi have the same identity, and they are a little together, consciously or unconsciously. Except, of course, that the two parties are in a hostile relationship.

Li Biao is well-informed, and because most of the countries like Goryeo and the Wa Kingdom are in contact with Wei and Qi at the same time, Li Biao is no stranger to these people, so according to the difference in clothing and clothing, he whispered to Tuoba Shen to explain, and by the way, he knew some stories about these exotic stories.

In his previous life, Tuoba Shen had seen the "Tribute Map" painted by Emperor Xiao Yi of Liang Yuan, but in this life, he did not have many opportunities to get close to these foreign people who were far away from China, so he listened to Li Biao's explanation very seriously.

As he was listening, he saw two strong men in tight single clothes, blonde hair and blue eyes, white faces, high nose bridges and hanging braids, walking over, and talking loudly.

Tuoba Shen and Li Biao were smoked by these two guys who exuded a sheep's breath and took a few steps back, and they had the intention to raise their hands and fan the wind with their sleeves, but many people were looking at this side and forcibly made their moves.

"Li Qing, who are they?" Tuoba Shen asked subconsciously

"Worm ear"

Rouran people! Are they really here?

Tuoba Shen was originally just blindly tortured, but he didn't expect that now Rouran people really appeared.

Tuoba Shen looked at the two soft and strong men. I saw these two people with blond hair and blue eyes, with a high nose bridge and sunken eye sockets, and the whole image of a Westerner.

Speaking of which, there were many people in the old days of this dynasty who had this remarkable Western gene, but after hundreds of years of interaction with the Han people, there are few remaining traces of the West.

At least Tuoba Shen did not see in himself any characteristics that were obviously different from those of the Han people, after all, most of the four or five generations of this dynasty since Emperor Shizu were born to Han women, except for Emperor Wencheng's mother, who was a Rouran girl. Not to mention himself, let's just say that the Han blood in the current emperor accounts for eighty percent.

"Does Li Qing know what he said?"

Li Biao's face was strange, and he was embarrassed: "Xiaguan has never known how to creep"

Li Biao usually has to work with the Xianbei people, and he will also say some simple Xianbei words, he knows the Rouran people, but he doesn't understand the Rouran words.

The two Rouran people chirped a few more words at Tuoba Shen and the others, but seeing that Tuoba Shen and the others couldn't understand what they said, they turned around and strode away after shouting a few more times, turning back and shouting a few words as they walked.

"Since Dou Lun became the master of the worms, he has brutalized Zhongliang internally, and gradually eliminated his dynasty externally. Several attempts to commit crimes. It is only because of the bending power that the power of the country has doubts about this, so it must not succeed in its treacherous intentions. This time, Doulun sent people here, but I am afraid that it is ill-intentioned. ”

The Worm and the Southern Dynasty are separated by a distance of one or two thousand miles from the current dynasty, so the communication is through Tuyuhun and the Western Regions, and it takes two or three years to go back and forth, and it is not easy to send an envoy abroad. The appearance of these two Rouran people here can't help but alert them.

Tuoba Shen listened to what Li Biao said, and suddenly remembered that the emperor in history had sent troops to attack Rouran the year before he moved the capital to Luoyang, that is, next year. Now it seems that the reason may not only be to sweep away a hidden danger before moving the capital, but also to learn that Rouran has the intention to invade, right?
