Chapter 747: The Envoy Is a Woman

"If the Persians in Arda are in a hurry to enter the capital, then arrange two boats for them, and let them go first. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info" Li Xiu also immediately said when he heard Zhang Shiyi's words, after all, the sky and the earth are big, and his daughter is the biggest, whether it is her or Yuechan, it is not suitable for a long journey now.

However, after saying the above words, Li Xiu looked at Zhang Shiyi with interest and said with a smile: "I am very interested in the news you have heard, I heard that you have been running to Arda every day these days, are you going to ask him for a few Persian Hu girls to be concubines?" ā€

"Also a Persian concubine? Qu Yi's temper is not unknown to you, I don't even dare to move the Silla maid I bought at home, otherwise she would really dare to use a knife with me, and I don't know where she got such a big jealousy? Zhang Shiyi complained very helplessly at this time, the status of women in Quyi's city-state is higher, for example, as a woman, she can also inherit her father's position as the city lord, so she is also more strict with Zhang Shiyi, and Li Xiu often makes fun of him about this.

Li Xiu couldn't help but laugh when he heard Zhang Shiyi's words, and then asked him about the news he had heard. It turned out that Zhang Shiyi also often walked around Alda in the past few days, and even took them around Suzhou City, causing these Persians who had never been to the Tang Dynasty to make a fuss, which made Zhang Shiyi secretly disdain these Persians, but he couldn't stand these Persians with money, after all, most of the officials in the mission were nobles, and they were very generous, Zhang Shiyi also deliberately brought them to his own industry, and he made a lot of money from these Persians in just a few days.

Of course, for Zhang Shiyi, making money is actually only secondary, the most important thing is that he wants to hear more news from Alda, especially when he first arrived in Suzhou that day, the mysterious woman who appeared in Alda's team seems to have a higher status than Alda, you must know that Alda is the deputy envoy of the mission, so in this way, could that woman be the envoy of the mission? But the dignified Persian Empire actually sent a woman to envoy, which is so interesting.

It was with the above idea that Zhang Shiyi had been deliberately befriending Alda, but yesterday he drank with Alda, and after he was half-drunk, he really found out a little bit of news, that mysterious woman was indeed the head of the mission, and Alda was just her deputy.

"Is there no one in Persia for a woman to be the head of the mission?" Although there had been some speculations before, when he heard Zhang Shiyi's words, Li Xiu was still very surprised, after all, in the era of the Tang Dynasty, the envoys to other countries had never heard of being served by women.

"I also asked Alda this question, but he was also vague, and finally said that their Persian women's status in the country is not lower than that of men, and even Persia has produced many queens, since women can be kings, then they can naturally be envoys, but I always feel that he is not telling the truth!" Zhang Shiyi spoke again at the moment.

"It is true that a woman of Persia can be king, I have heard of it, but I have never heard of sending a woman as an envoy, and we all saw that woman that day, although she wore a veil, but she looked very young, and such a young woman could hold such an important position as an envoy, I am afraid her origin is not simple, right?" When Li Xiu said the end, he couldn't help but show a contemplative expression.

"It's definitely not simple, but Alda's mouth is very tight, no matter how much I knock on the side, he won't reveal half of the identity of that woman, it seems that this woman is not only the head of the mission, but also definitely much higher than Alda!" Zhang Shiyi affirmed again.

"In this way, this Persian mission is really interesting, it actually sent a young woman of noble birth to send an envoy, could it be that the Persian emperor intends to make peace with our Tang Dynasty?" When Li Xiu said to the end, he couldn't help but show a narrow smile and said, this is also the only possibility he can think of to explain this matter.

"Not to mention, judging from what I have heard from Alda in the past few days, the crisis facing Persia is far greater than we imagined, and Alda even asked me if the Persians could settle in Datang, and it seems that he is also looking for a way out for himself." Zhang Shiyi spoke again, Alda can be sent as a deputy envoy at this time, which is enough to show his status in Persia, but even he has to find a way out for himself, and the crisis facing Persia can be imagined.

said that Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrived, just as Zhang Shiyi's words fell, he saw a subordinate running to report that Alda came to visit, which made Li Xiu and Zhang Shiyi also look at each other in surprise, and then stood up and went out to greet each other, and invited the other party to the living room for tea.

"Li Embarrassment, #Ā„%Ā„#Ā„@......" Alda immediately said after coming in, he also worked hard to learn Chinese after coming to the Tang Dynasty, and followed the local customs, and also called Li Xiu "Brother Li", but his Chinese pronunciation is really bad, brother and embarrassment are indistinguishable, and now he has only learned a title, and communication still needs someone to translate.

"Brother Li, Alda is here to discuss with you about going to Chang'an, it seems that he doesn't know about your family." Zhang Shiyi translated at the moment.

"Tell him about my family, but I'll arrange two boats to take them to Chang'an!" Li Xiu nodded immediately and said, Alda and these people don't understand the language, and if it weren't for Zhang Shiyi and them, they wouldn't even be able to get out.

"Actually, I think it's better to hand them over to the local government in Suzhou, as long as their identities are verified, the government will also send someone to send them to Beijing." At this time, Zhang Shiyi opened his mouth to propose that the Tang Dynasty is now strong and powerful, and it is relatively welcome to the envoys of these countries, such as the envoys of the Japanese State that Li Xiu saw last time, which were sent to Chang'an by the local government.

"You also know the situation of the local government, although they will send people to send the mission to Beijing, but they are definitely not willing to spend money, in the end Alda and these people will definitely have to take the land route, and when they arrive in Chang'an, maybe it will be next year, since we have saved these people in Alda, then good people will do it to the end, send two boats to send them directly to Chang'an, anyway, it won't cost a few dollars." Li Xiu shook his head when he heard Zhang Shiyi's words.

Of course, in addition to this reason, Li Xiu also wanted to know what the purpose of this rather mysterious Persian mission was? So why don't you send them to Chang'an early.

Hearing Li Xiu say this, Zhang Shiyi had to nod, and then said a lot to Alda, probably explaining Li Xiu's kindness, which made Alda very grateful to Li Xiu in the end, and also blessed Li Xiu's newborn daughter, which made Li Xiu also have a good impression of him.

But in the end, Alda said a few more words to Zhang Shiyi, but Zhang Shiyi's face also became a little strange, and after a while, he spoke: "Brother Li, Alda said that their envoy wants to entertain us to show his gratitude to us!" ā€
