Wang Xuance's words immediately made Zhou Zeng lower his head. But listen to this Chen Maocai said: "Since ancient times, although the two countries have intersected and not cut each other, we must be careful."

In view of what Chen Maocai said just now, Wang Xuance also followed his advice. So, the three of them muttered like this again......

When he returned to the inn, and explained to everyone that the king of Qiuzi was going to feast on them, he heard this little six say: "What about our things and horses? ”

Wang Xuance smiled tactfully, and asked Xiaoliu to invite Yicheng over. With this post running with a smile. But I heard Wang Xuance say to him: "Tonight, the king of your country wants to invite us to a banquet, and we have to go to the banquet as much as possible. After all, this is all the intention of His Majesty the Great Tang Heavenly Khan, and there can be no fault in the slightest! ”

The post man hurriedly replied: "This is a trivial matter, please let the envoy of the country put a hundred hearts." ”

Hearing such a hearty agreement, Wang Xuance casually took the list of materials handed over by Chen Maocai, and said to him: "Please check carefully, if there is no problem, please sign your name on it; Because this is a business matter, it is natural to do business affairs, and please forgive me. ”

Looking at this situation, this post has also seen a lot. Therefore, as soon as I checked it, I signed my name on it.

After a short rest, I felt that the time was almost up, and all the envoys also changed into clean and tidy Tang official uniforms. Immediately, under the guidance of King Qiuzi's attendants, they went to the luxurious palace of King Qiuci......

History is always such a coincidence, and it is such an accident, after the previous man has done a certain feat. As long as the environment, time, and opportunities that we are in are relatively consistent, we will follow the traces of history. This is the guidance of our predecessors to our descendants, and the admonition of those who come after us.

In the face of the powerful Han Dynasty, which once dominated the Western Regions for 200 years, it relied on this powerful motherland behind it. It's a pity that in the dynasties that fell apart in the future, with the passage of time, the decline of national strength, not to mention dominating the Western Regions, even the country is also a plate of scattered sand, how can the power control the Western Regions.

But today is different from the past, although it has only been 30 years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the entire Middle Earth has been unified for more than 60 years; The strength accumulated over the past 60 years is enough to be a strong backing. This is not only Wang Xuance's confidence, but also Datang's confidence......

After entering the palace of the king of Qiuzi, after this ceremonial greeting, a rather luxurious grand banquet was opened, which was the beginning of June in the twenty-first year of Zhenguan.

On the Tang side, it was naturally the envoys of these thirty-three people who participated in this banquet; But in this Qiuzi, in addition to the king Bai Su Hua Die, the state minister Na Li, Bai Su Hua Die's brother Bai Ha Li Bu lost Bi, the general Hunting and other important ministers of the country were also present.

Although this country of Qiuzi still believes in Buddhism, above this state banquet, there are all kinds of rare things that fly in the sky and walk on the ground; In addition, a few roasted whole sheep on the charcoal fire are also quite local customs of the Western Regions.

Although it is a unique banquet of pure meat, because of the dry climate of this country, the grapes are also delicious. However, this is not the season at this time, so the feast is served with raisins made by drying in the shade.

As the banquet progressed, this turtle music and dance was naturally indispensable. With the two clapping sounds of Bai Suhua's "pop". But I saw more than a dozen Qiuci court musicians, with graceful posture and exquisite dancing skills, showing the demeanor of Qiuci people.

The state banquet was always held in such a peaceful atmosphere, but at the end of the day. I saw an attendant, walking quickly towards Bai Su Hua Die, muttering a few times in his ear, but seeing Bai Su Hua Die's face, it instantly seemed to be a different person, giving people a serious feeling.

Look at the Prime Minister of the country, after he saw the squire walk in, a casual sneer. While cutting the mutton with a knife, he squinted at Wang Xuance and the others.

Although all this is fleeting, their abnormal scene is seen by Wang Xuance and Chen Maocai. After the attendant left, Bai Su Vadi still greeted them with a smile and beckoned them to eat and drink well. Although it was still very enthusiastic, the state banquet was shorter than the original time. With the end of the state banquet, Wang Xuance and the others returned to the post house with a few drunkenness......

"Oh, my God, you're back" I saw that the post man sighed, and then greeted him and said to Wang Xuance.

Seeing everyone come back, this post man also put down his hanging heart. It turned out that since they went to the banquet, there were several foreign people who came to check the horses and supplies of the Tang Dynasty mission in turn. After all, this Yicheng is also a person who has often been in contact with this matter, and he knows that this matter cannot be sloppy, so he hurriedly transferred some soldiers to strengthen the protection of these Datang materials. In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, this post man also personally brought a knife to guard here......

When Wang Xuance and others understood all this, their hearts trembled. Under Yicheng's repeated requests, after counting the materials, he found that he had not lost a penny, so he was also quite grateful, and thanked Yicheng again and again for his carefulness. At this time, I saw this Yicheng come to Wang Xuance's side, and whispered to him: "You need to be more careful, in addition to those few foreign people who came to investigate, there are also several Turkic merchants who have come to check on you four or five times while you are away, but fortunately, seeing that there are many of us, we have not let them approach." ”

After muttering, the post man didn't wait for his reply, and left with people behind his back as if nothing had happened.

When Wang Xuance pondered carefully, he felt that this Yicheng could say this to them, and it was also credible; It seems that this King of Qiuzi, Bai Suvadie, is really a lord who is left and right. So, in addition to instructing Xiaoliu to take his brothers to strengthen their vigilance; After muttering to Zhou Chen and the others, they went separately and prepared to go.

In fact, the fundamental reason for these things that happened was this Western Turk. It was such a coincidence, when Wang Xuance brought the Tang Dynasty delegation to the Qiuci royal city of Yilulu, the prime minister of the Qiuci State had already received a report from his subordinates, and the Western Turkic envoys would also arrive at the Yilulu City in the next two days.

It is precisely because of the leadership of Nari that this country of turtles is left and right. In addition, this Western Turk envoy often used gold, silver and jade silk to bribe Nali, so he was more inclined to the Western Turks when facing the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Turks. Therefore, when he got that the envoys of the Tang Dynasty had come to this Illulu City, a treacherous thought burst out of his heart.

Trivia: Bai Ha Libu lost his life and usurped the throne of Bai Suva. Later, it was destroyed by the Tang Army. In 649, after the death of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, he carved his stone statue in front of the Zhaoling Tomb. He was one of the kings of the Fourteen Kingdoms of Zhaoling. When Tang Gaozong reinstated, he was reinstated as the king of Qiuzi.
