Chapter IX: Reception

"Let's go down first. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Lu Bu waved his hand, and Yang Fu bowed and retreated.

Lu Bu sat in his seat, closed his eyes and meditated, in the past five years, with the continuous growth of people's livelihood, the influence of his side on the Silk Road has been expanding, and the influence can even spread to Rome, Guishan is naturally among them, but although Guishan is not as far away from Chang'an as Rome, it is not to mention thousands of miles away, there are always thousands of miles.

With today's traffic, it costs too much to fight in the past, not to mention the gains, not to mention, and even if it is beaten, the communication can't keep up, although Lu Bu has vigorously supported the cultivation of carrier pigeons and war eagles in the past five years, but the news has not spread so far, rather than spending time and effort to conquest, it is better to plunder their resources through economic means, influence and control them from the economic aspect, and wait for the technology to really reach that step, and then consider whether there is a value in attacking.

"Nighthawk!" After a long time, Lu Bu suddenly opened his eyes and spoke softly.

"Nighthawk sees master." In the shadows of the hall, a figure quietly appeared, and a woman dressed in gray clothes quietly appeared in front of Lu Bu, kneeling on one knee.

"Back then, I ordered the Night Owl to lurk in the Western Regions and expand the Night Owl Battalion, and the soldiers divided the Night Owl Battalion into three parts: Phoenix, Eagle, and Ying, responsible for supervising the world, how has the power of the Guishan Kingdom developed in the past five years?" Lu Bu's indifferent gaze swept over Nighthawk's tall body and said indifferently.

"Back to the master, the night owl camp mainly establishes an intelligence network in the land of the princes of the Central Plains, and Rome and Guishan are too far away, although there are also intelligence liaison stations, but they have not invested too much energy." Nighthawk bowed.

"But why is there no news from the Kushan envoy?" Lu Bu frowned.

"Back to the master, the Guishan Kingdom experienced a coup d'Γ©tat a year ago, and the country is very chaotic, and the so-called envoy is probably not sent by the imperial court." Nighthawk bowed.

"Coup d'Γ©tat?" Lu Bujian frowned, and said with interest: "What is the specific situation?" ”

"I don't know the specific situation, but the previous emperor of the Kushan Kingdom died of illness, but the designated heir was questioned by the nobles of the Kushan country that the bloodline was not pure, and there was a coup d'Γ©tat, and the late emperor's designated heir was driven out of the royal family, and a group of people were re-established in a place called Bactria to re-establish a new court to confront the court controlled by the nobles of the Kushan State." Nighthawk said, bowing down.

"It seems that this old lover came this time, and the purpose is not simple!" Lu Bu sneered, waved his hand, and Nighthawk bowed and disappeared into the darkness again.

Early the next morning, Lu Bu summoned the important ministers of Chang'an civil and military affairs in the Chang'an Palace, and summoned Guishuang and Jiangdong envoys in the Zhaode Palace, not only Xiong Kuohai, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Pang De, and Beigong Li, these five generals gathered, but also such as Jia Xu, Chen Gong, Xu Shu, Fu Zhu, Pang Tong and others were also recruited, and even the leaders of the great Confucian Zheng Xuan, the Legalist Fa Yan, the Taoist Zuo Ci and the leaders of other schools were also admitted to the palace.

After all, this is a time to show the prestige of the country, and it is also a sign of the importance of the envoys of these two sides.

The emperor's seat is vacant, and Lu Bu stands on the right side of the emperor's seat as a hussar general, which is a kind of respect for the Han family, although the emperor is not here, but this important occasion to meet foreign envoys, in terms of etiquette, Lu Bu can be regarded as inviting the Han Emperor.

In front of the Zhaode Palace, eight hundred hussar guards are arranged on both sides, each hussar guard, is the latest standard of armor, not only beautiful, but also sturdy, all the same color halberd, sword, of course, these are the honor guard weapons on this formal occasion, if it is really on the battlefield, the equipment of the hussar guard can definitely be the ordinary elite to death.

Under Lu Bu, Xiong Kuohai, Ma Chao, Zhao Yun, Pang De, Beigong Li, Han De and other military generals who stayed in Chang'an were lined up in turn, and on the opposite side were Chen Gong, Jia Xu, Fu Zhu, Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Yang Fu and other civil officials, Zheng Xuan was very old, and he sat opposite Lu Bu, which could be regarded as an expression of respect for Zheng Xuan's status and himself.

"The lord, the Kushan envoy and the Jiangdong envoy have arrived outside the south gate." A hussar battalion all came in and bowed to Lu Bu.

"Biography!"

With Lu Bu's order, the solemn trumpet sounded, the Nangong Gate opened with the sound of the trumpet, and the Jiangdong envoys led by Lu Xun and Gu Shao and the envoys of the representatives of the Guishan State entered the palace gate under the leadership of the hussar guards with the sound of the trumpet, and entered the Zhaode Hall all the way.

"Gu Shao (Lu Xun) of Wu County, meet the hussar general." Gu Shao and Lu Xun took a step forward and bowed to Lu Bu, no matter what the relationship between the two parties is, people are receiving them with national courtesies, what kind of stand to put up at this time, it is not to make Lu Bu ugly, it is to embarrass himself.

"No courtesy." Lu Bu solemnly stretched out his hand to help them, motioned for the two of them to get up, and said with a smile: "In the past, although Brother Wentai and I had political disagreements, we have been friends with the Jiangdong Tigers for a long time, and it is a pity that we have a good relationship, but it is also a pleasure to meet the two Jiangdong Junjie today. ”

"The general is false." Lu Xun and Gu Shao hurriedly thanked him, now that Lu Bu has lived in Chang'an for several years, holding tens of millions of Li people's livelihood, even if he no longer deliberately urges his own momentum, he has the prestige of a superior in his gestures, plus he is the number one fierce general in the world, when the two faced Lu Bu for the first time, they unconsciously felt an indescribable sense of tension in their hearts.

"It's not a bad compliment, the two of you can afford it." Lu Bu waved his hand, his eyes looked at the Guishan envoy group on the other side, and he just swept lightly over the others, and finally his eyes fell on Lan Zhan, who was surrounded by the stars and the moon, although he hadn't seen him for several years, but after all, he was a woman who had in-depth communication with him, even if the other party's face was covered with a light veil, Lu Bu still recognized her at a glance.

"I wonder what to call this one?" Lu Bu's gaze fell on Lan Zhan's face and smiled.

"This is my Majesty the Queen of Kushan Country." A rugged man with colored eyes walked out, crossed in front of Lu Bu, and said coldly.

I'm really a queen!

Lu Bu shook his head: "As far as General Ben knows, not long after the new emperor of the Guishan Kingdom succeeded to the throne, he was driven out of the royal court by the Guishan nobles due to impure blood. ”

Lan Zhan'e raised her eyebrows slightly, although in the Guishan Kingdom, this is not a new thing, but how did Lu Bu know about the Han land thousands of miles away?

"Why did those rebellious ministers and thieves nominate a new king? Our queen is the mother of the heir appointed by the emperor! It's just that His Majesty is still young, and as a last resort, the queen is temporarily in charge of the government. The man said coldly.

"Presumptuous!" Ma Chao saw that this man with colored eyes actually spoke directly to Lu Bu, and his tone was disrespectful, so he immediately snorted coldly and looked at the colored man: "Who are you?" Dare to be presumptuous before my Lord! ”

The man said, "Don't you Han people have an emperor?" He's just a general, and I'm a general! Why don't you dare? ”

Lu Xun and Gu Shao watched this scene with great interest, they didn't feel anything, the generals didn't look very friendly, they looked like they wanted to make trouble, and they were also happy to watch the excitement.

"Although my Han Emperor is not here, but my lord has vacated the throne, in terms of etiquette, my Han Dynasty is to treat your state with national etiquette, but now Chang'an City, with my lord as the respect, since the queen of your state came to see in person, my lord personally greeted him, there is nothing wrong, he is a general, but he should not go beyond his bounds and talk directly to my lord." Yang Fu snorted coldly, stood up, and looked at the color of humanity.

"Moreover, since your country is now unable to determine the royal family, and you have been expelled from the royal court, in legal theory, you do not have the orthodox status, and the position of the queen is up for debate, don't say that it is you, even the queen of your family, and may not be qualified enough to talk to my lord, my lord is magnanimous, and receives you with national courtesy, but your words are disrespectful, and the etiquette is not respectful, such a bearing, not the image of a king!"

"You ......" The color-eyed general glared at Yang Fu angrily, but Yang Fu didn't let in the slightest, and looked at the other party proudly.

"Hmph, it is said that the Han people are treacherous and good at clever words, when I see you today, in your words, it should be better to be famous than to meet!" The color-eyed general sneered, ignored the angry eyes of the courtiers around him, and proudly raised his head to look at Lu Bu: "Since you are a general, and I am also a general, how about we use the way of a soldier to prove right and wrong?" ”

When the civil and military forces in the court heard this, they couldn't help but be silent, and then suddenly burst into laughter, and even Lu Bu couldn't help but laugh and shook his head.

"What? Smack? The color-eyed general looked at everyone puzzled.

"There should be a limit to ignorance." Ma Chao sneered: "Haven't you heard of the title of God of War on the Silk Road?" ”

"God of War? He? The semu general glanced at Lu Bu, shook his head disdainfully, and said: "Everyone is just touting, I just ask you, do you dare to fight with me?" ”

Ma Chao was about to step forward, but Xiong Kuohai had already stepped forward first, looked at the sesame general and said, "With you, you also want to challenge my lord?" I'll talk about winning first. ”

"You?" The color-eyed general glanced up and down at Xiong Kuohai, nodded and said, "It's okay, let you Han people know what real martial arts are, and bring me weapons!" ”

Seeing the two Guishan soldiers carrying a heavy weapon, Xiong Kuohai stretched out his hand, and someone handed over his cooked copper stick to Xiong Kuohai and was injured.

"Old male." Lu Bu stopped Xiong Kuohai and said indifferently: "I hate this person." ”

Xiong Kuohai was stunned for a moment, and then nodded and said: "Don't worry, my lord, this kind of goods can't use Sanhe!" ”

After speaking, he directly picked up the cooked copper stick and walked to the outside of the Zhaode Palace, and after the man with the colored eyes glanced at Lan Zhan hesitantly, he walked straight to the outside of the Zhaode Palace.

Lu Bu didn't go out, the result was already doomed from the beginning, he was not interested in watching this kind of battle, and walked straight to Lan Zhan.

"Han general, please stop, don't offend Her Majesty!" When several Guishan guards saw Lu Bu coming over, their faces couldn't help but change greatly, and they wanted to step forward, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Pang De, and Beigong took a step forward from Qi Qi, and the fierce momentum was pressed down, and a group of Guishan Kingdom guards were suddenly overwhelmed, and they saw Lu Bu walking in front of Lan Zhan and reaching out to unveil the other party.

A group of courtiers frowned a little, this move was inevitably too light, but when Lu Bu unveiled the other party, a group of people were dumbfounded. (To be continued.) )
