After another two days and two nights, the Yunnan team has approached Dali City. When there was still a distance of about thirty miles from the city, a team in front of them with flags waving their flags lined up and slowly moved towards this side.

Walking closer, Li Yi had already seen the figures of the leaders of several people. The first two people, one is Duan Siping's eldest son, that is, Duan Siying, the rightful son of Dali, and the other is Lin Yi, who arrived early. Behind him are colorful flags flying; The guard of honor with gongs and drums.

The two men rode side by side, and soon came to the front of the group.

After the two sides dismounted, Duan Siying, who was wearing a purple robe, walked a few steps, clasped his hands tightly with Li Yi, and said happily: "Li Dashuai is here, and the whole country of Dali is honored." My father specially ordered me to come to greet him, and asked Li Dashuai to forgive him for the sin of belatedness. ”

Seeing this kind of scene, Li Yi seemed to have a sense of time and space confusion. remembered that when I went to Shanxian Mansion to meet Yang Huaiying last year, it was similar to the scene in front of me. Things have changed, time flies, but it has only been a little more than a year, and this land has changed owners, which is really amazing!

However, Duan Siying still calls his father his father, it seems that this position has not been finalized, and he must not be reckless.

Li Yi hurriedly thanked him: "There is Lao Duan's son to greet him, Li Yi really doesn't dare to be it!" ”

Duan Siying smiled happily and said: "Why should Li Dashuai be too humble, if it weren't for the help of Yunnan and the thirty-seven Wuyi tribes, this great river and mountain would still be in the hands of the traitors, the country would have no peace, and the people would have no livelihood. Now that the chaos has been put in order, the people can live a happy and peaceful life, and my father and son are deeply grateful! ”

Li Yi felt and said: "Yes! Where there's a will there's a way. We never thought we would meet here. As the saying goes, 'those who win the hearts of the people win the world, and those who lose the hearts of the people lose the world', I see the current atmosphere of your country, and the scene of singing and dancing everywhere, living and working in peace and contentment, is really refreshing. This shows the backing of people's hearts! ”

Duan Siying also hurriedly humbled himself, and greeted the rest of the people one by one, and then guided the people in Yunnan, lined up a grand welcome queue, and headed towards Dali City.

Through the towering gate of Dali City and entering the wide and flat streets of Dali, Li Yi found that Dali City turned out to be a large-scale strong fortress.

The city wall of Dali city is more than two zhang thick, there are seven or eight zhang high, the grand city gate tower stands high, the heavy building flies the eaves, the momentum is magnificent. The west side is close to Diancang Mountain, and there are three streams in the north and south as natural barriers, and the surrounding moats are wide, stretching for nearly ten miles, arching and guarding this large-scale royal city.

And the streets in Dali City are much wider than Ningzhou, north and south across five, east and west longitudinal eight bluestone slab avenues, in a chessboard-like arrangement, all are can be side by side galloping eight carriages of thoroughfare, it seems to be orderly.

In addition, there are many streams running through the city, most of which extend along the wide streets, and the gurgling water tinkles, forming a poetic and picturesque scene, which makes people feel happy.

The residential shops on both sides of the street, its architectural style is said to imitate the style of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, most of them are Tang Dynasty buildings with wide eaves and slope roofs, and even the structure of the Li Fang is roughly the same, which makes people think at first glance that they have returned to the ancient capital of Chang'an.

The flowers and trees planted in the courtyard of each family extend to the outside of the courtyard wall, and the grass and trees are verdant, competing for beauty, and the fragrance of flowers permeates every street and alley.

Walking along the wide street, after passing through four or five horizontal streets one after another, a large group of majestic and magnificent palaces appeared on the left side of the front, with heavy buildings and high pavilions, one after another, showing that the grandeur was extraordinary.

Not far from the diagonal opposite side of this palace group, there are five buildings more than ten zhang high standing in the middle, all of which are raised at the bottom and raised at the top, and the upper part is a large cornice-like building.

The five buildings are arranged in the shape of a five-pointed star, and each building is tall and wide, and the view is truly breathtaking. Li Yi secretly thought to himself, if such a building can survive to future generations, what a valuable national heritage it should be.

After Duan Siying's introduction, Li Yi learned that these five tall and towering buildings, called 'Wuhua Tower', are also the state guesthouses specially used to receive envoys from various countries and local tribal chiefs since the Southern Zhao. In the next few days, I will stay here, and I will occupy one of the high-rise buildings, the 'Cuihua Building'.

Duan Siying settled Li Yi and his entourage behind the 'Cuihua Building', and specially instructed Li Yi that tonight, Duan Siping will have a special banquet for Li Yi and his entourage, and the location is in the 'Yinghua Building' at the front of the State Guesthouse.

At that time, Duan Siping's father and son, as well as Duan Siliang, Gao Fang, Dong Jialuo, Peng A and others all attended, and on the Yunnan side, as long as there are official personnel, they will be invited to participate, and other personal personnel will also have special personnel to give warm hospitality.

Li Yi felt strange that Dao Hongying herself was said to be in Dali City, she was not only Duan Siping's daughter, but also the main force of Tonghai to break through the Yangba City, and Duan Siping also knew his relationship with Dao Hongying very well, how could he not let her participate in this banquet to welcome her?

But this kind of occasion can only be arranged by others, and Li Yi is embarrassed to put forward his own opinions. Since Dao Hongying was not allowed to participate, there was a reason not to let her participate, and she could only follow the customs.

That night, under the guidance of the protocol officer, Li Yi, Lin Yi, Zhong Xu, Jiang Hua, Qiu Feng, Yue Wei, Lian Jun and others walked to the high platform of the 'Yinghua Building', and the front of the 'Yinghua Building' was already covered with canopies.

Under the entourage of a large group of civil and military officials, Duan Siping was already standing at the door of the hall of the building and waiting, which was really a bit surprising to Li Yi. You must know that Duan Siping is now the king of Dali, and he must have a set of court etiquette that fits his noble status. Therefore, there is no need for a foreign governor to personally welcome a visit.

But Li Yi also deeply believed that this was the case, because most of the founding emperors like Duan Siping were able to learn the lessons of the fall of the previous dynasty, and they were able to show sincere brotherhood especially to the forces that had helped them, which was also a manifestation of the policy of good-neighborliness and friendship, which was especially important for the newly established country.

Li Yi rushed forward and was about to bow down, but Duan Siping suddenly hugged him with a full embrace, laughed and said, "Why is Li Dashuai doing this!" We have been working together for more than a year, sharing life and death, and overthrowing the tyrannical Yang puppet country side by side, which can be said to be a friend of life and death, how can we still use so much courtesy? ”
