As soon as he returned to the study room of the conference hall, Lin Yi, who had been by his side, said worriedly: "Dashuai, Dayi Ningguo's attitude towards us is extraordinary, and this invitation is undoubtedly a 'Hongmen Banquet'!" Do you really want to go there yourself? ”

Li Yi sighed slightly, and said helplessly: "Alas! The words have been spoken, how can you break your word and gain weight? Besides, we have received favors from others, and sooner or later we will have to repay them. ”

"If I don't go and say thank you in person, I'm afraid they will still be pestering and even doubting our sincerity. This trip to the country of righteousness will be carried out no matter what, so it is better to take this opportunity for me to go there and find out, and maybe I can also learn more about them. It may be of great help to us in dealing with them in the future! ”

"However, the only thing I'm worried about right now is the sea side, and I don't know how they will react. Brother Lin, what do you think about this matter? ”

Lin Yi smiled slightly and said: "There is nothing wrong with this trip to the Great Righteous Ning Kingdom, they are now in an embattled situation, it is the time to win over and borrow from us, although our strength is limited, but after all, we are also a prince, and it should not be a problem to support them at a critical moment." ”

"It's also the best opportunity for us to go to them and learn about each other's strengths."

"However, Tonghai has a lot of eyeliner with us, and he must know everything about it. I don't think there's anything wrong with their wary or even hostile reaction to us. ”

"The current situation is so delicate, the Great Yi Ning Kingdom and Tonghai are evenly matched, and no one can help anyone,"

"If we step in from it, the situation could change, and the losing side will not want to see it."

"Therefore, I think that before you leave, it is better for you to write a letter to Tonghai in person, not only to express your gratitude to them for their selfless assistance to Yunnan, but also to euphemistically explain the hardships of having to go to Dayi Ningguo and show that your position has always been neutral, which is what we need to do most at present."

"To be honest, we don't show that we are afraid of Tonghai, in fact, we have no obligation to inform the other party where we want to visit."

"But the so-called 'don't say things clearly', since we have made it clear, they will not be overly nervous, and we can effectively avoid contradictions and estrangement. What do you think? ”

Li Yi nodded convincingly: "Okay! I will write this letter, you prepare for today's luncheon, and call Lord Zheng, Lord Qian, General Jian, and General He over to accompany the wine. ”

"At the moment of the crisis of the Great Righteous Ning Kingdom, Yang Huaiying, the prince of the Great Righteous Ning Kingdom, invited me so eagerly, of course, the purpose is not only to drink for fun and contact feelings, but I am afraid that it will also talk about substantive issues. Then we'll ask Xun Zaro again, and maybe we'll get something! ”

Lin Yi agreed to go out, while Li Yi spread out the letterhead and wrote a letter to Duan Siping.

The general content of the letter is that first of all, he expressed his selfless support for Yunnan from Tonghai, was full of confidence in the development of the relationship between the Han and Tonghai, and hoped to meet with Duan Siping when necessary to increase the understanding of mutual friendship.

Secondly, because Dayi Ningguo also extended a helping hand to Yunnan, under the strong invitation of the other party, Li Yi had no choice but to go to Dayi Ningguo to pay a return visit and thank you.

After the letter was written, Li Yi immediately sealed it, asked Jiang Hua to come over, and gave him a detailed instruction, asking him to take only two personal soldiers who were familiar with the road conditions and immediately go to Tonghai.

If you can meet Duan Siping face to face, you must truly express Yunnan's gratitude for Tonghai's selfless assistance, but you must also show neither humility nor arrogance, let alone show weakness for no reason, making people feel that Yunnan is easy to bully.

This trip to the sea must be carried out quietly, and no information can be revealed to anyone.

Jiang Hua was secretly sent away, and the time for the luncheon was almost up.

Under Lin Yi's careful and meticulous arrangement, the banquet to welcome the envoy of Dayi Ningguo officially began.

This welcome banquet was attended by all our senior officials in Yunnan, which gave Xun Zaromo a big surprise.

All government departments in the country have two sets of teams, one each in the capital city and the Tokyo Shanfu government.

Xun Zaluo himself is just the Cishuang of the Shanxian Mansion in Tokyo, the Great Yi Ningguo, and the grade is one level lower than the Cishuang of the capital Yangbaa, but he can receive such a great courtesy in Yunnan, and it can be seen that he is a little flattered.

After introducing the people who participated in the banquet, Li Yi personally took Xun Zaluo's hand, enthusiastically sent him to the seat of the guest of honor, and said with great interest: "Lord Cishuang, your presence is an incomparable honor for us in Yunnan, and it also makes everyone here see the bright future of the Han Dynasty and the Great Yi Ning Kingdom, and the two countries will work together to create a new situation." Thank you again for stopping by. ”

This Xun Zaro had never seen this kind of opening statement, and it immediately made the corners of his eyes and eyebrows crawl with a smile, as if every pore was open.

He said happily: "I am just a nobody in the Great Yi Ning Kingdom, but I didn't expect to be received so ceremoniously by you. This can only show that you have never regarded our Dayi Ningguo as an outsider, which is not only my honor, but the embodiment of the status of the entire Dayi Ningguo in your mind. ”

"At this moment of mixed feelings, as the envoy of the Great Righteous Ningguo, I can only express our supreme respect to you. Thank you, Mr. Li, and thank you. ”

Listening to Xun Zaluo's high-sounding speech, Li Yi couldn't help but secretly praise, and he also narrowed the distance with him in his heart.

This guy deserves to be a high-ranking official in charge of the Ministry of Rites of the Great Yi Ning State!

Looking at his very tense and thoughtful thanks, it can be seen that he is a veteran who has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and he can't compare with him these two times.

After drinking the opening wine, Li Yi asked casually while giving him the vegetables with his own hands: "Lord Cishuang is in charge of etiquette and music, and he is highly educated, and he can see that he has a legacy of the Han and Tang Dynasties!" ”

When Xun Zaluo heard this, he couldn't help but say quite proudly: "Li Dashuai praised it falsely!" In front of the champion of the Han Dynasty, how dare the lower officials get an axe! ”

"Huh! I've only been studying in Datang's Taixue for a few years, how dare I say that I have any profound knowledge! Alas! More than 30 years have passed, and that study tour experience is still vivid! ”

"Oh!" Li Yi couldn't help but be slightly surprised, it seems that this unattractive Xun Zaluo in front of him has experienced an extraordinary experience!

The people who can travel and study in Datang are all local talents and outstanding people, no wonder Dayi Ningguo sends him to visit every time, and he is also a master of Sinology!
