When the servant came to report the news of the Silk Country's envoy's visit, Baibasbahn touched the mustache on his lips and smiled eerily.

He didn't find it strange at all about the visit of the Silk Country. According to his information, as early as two months ago, a delegation of envoys sent by Tibet went to the capital of Pas. Although Tibet and Paz were not without contact, the snow-capped wilderness had neither goods worth bartering nor strategic value. Paz would not be stupid enough to attack such a worthless wilderness, and the Tibetans did not have the ability to cross the mountains to attack Paz. Therefore, peace between the two countries can be said to be an inevitable result, and it has always belonged to the situation of never getting along. This time the emissary was suddenly sent, and it was difficult to discern the purpose of the envoy from any point of analysis, so Baibasbahn paid special attention to this team.

Now that he had attracted the attention of Baibasbahn, the actions of this team of emissaries were naturally within his control. In fact, the leading role in this envoy group is the envoy sent by the Silk Country, the three envoys led by Wu Sicheng tried to reach an alliance with Paz and jointly crusade against the Tuqi State, while the Tubo concluded an alliance as a third party, in order to avoid the ears and eyes of the Tuqi people, they disguised themselves as the envoys of Tubo.

The result of the meeting with King Paz was quite smooth, and the reason why it was said to be smooth was because in fact, the whole court of Paz was basically willing to reach an alliance with the Silk Country, because the hostile relationship between Tuqi and the Silk Country led to the severance of the trade routes on the road, which caused huge losses to the trade tariffs of Pass, so it was expected to restore the smooth flow of this trade route. However, His Majesty was reluctant to agree to this covenant immediately, and the fundamental reason was that the Duke of Babasbarn, the lord of Bataana, had privately entered into an alliance with the Great Khan of Turg, Abicheril, to destroy and divide the Western Turgir. This pact has not been broken to this day, and Basbahn has been able to fight against Paz since his great strength, and has since been semi-autonomous, if this pact turns Batana against Paz. That's more than worth the cost. For this reason, the king's promise was that if the lord of Badana could get his approval, the covenant would automatically come into effect. Therefore, it is expected that the envoy of the Silk Country will visit him, to be precise, Bai Basbahn has been waiting for the arrival of the other party for the past few days.

Emotionally speaking, Basbahn admired Abiciel, and his territory was greatly expanded thanks to the cooperation with Abichilir, but the interruption of trade on the road was definitely not beneficial to Batain's territory. Besides, after all, he is still a subordinate of the Paz Empire, and His Majesty the King has already agreed to marry Princess Midir, who is known as the most beautiful flower in the Paz Palace, to marry him, and as a son-in-law, he can't embarrass His Majesty the King too much. From the standpoint of Babbasbahn, it would be a good thing for the Silk Country and Tuchi to break the blood, but ideally, the trade route would be intermittent, so that he could use it as an excuse to regularly send troops to protect the oasis countries on the trade routes, so as to strengthen his dominance there, and more importantly, he could take the opportunity to hoard Juqi and make a fortune. Let both the Silk Country and the Tuqi be caught in the whirlpool of war, then Badana can have a relatively safe East, if the Tibetans are also involved. Then it will be easier for them to form a chaotic situation in which the three kingdoms compete for power. Since the envoy of the Silk Country came to negotiate, and now he has the initiative to grasp this meeting, it is crucial to grasp the scale and strive to maximize the benefits. Thinking of this, Bai Basbahn ordered them to be arranged in the inn so that they could be entertained.

In order to receive the envoy of the Silk Country, Baibasbahn of course had to reassemble, and gathered his civil and military generals to wait in the main hall. After everything was ready, he sent someone to the post house to invite the envoys.

The envoy of the Silk Country is much shorter than he imagined, and he can't be called dignified, and he can't see any outstanding martial arts. But the shimmering eyes impressed Babbard. When Bai Basbarn's gaze swept over the two deputy envoys of the Silk Country, his heart couldn't help but tighten: the middle-aged man who looked elegant was an extraordinary figure. I felt a chill rise from my heart.

"Ah, Lord Wu Sicheng, the envoy of the Silk Country, is really a distinguished guest. You may be seated. Babbasbahn said with a smile, but there was not much enthusiasm in his tone.

Wu Sicheng clasped his hands into fists and saluted the Silk Country: "Lord Duke is too polite to be received by Lord Bai Basbarn, the greatest warrior of the prestigious Paz Empire. It's a great honor to be here. ”

"Where, where, it's just a worthless name, the Paz Empire is full of talents, and I really don't dare to accept this kind of title without shame." Bai Basbar deliberately digressed the subject.

Wu Sicheng smiled slightly, and arched his hand: "Lord Duke." I have come all the way to your country this time, just to be able to form an alliance with your country and deal with our common enemy. ”

Babas Bahn pretended to be shocked and said, "Oh? Is this what your envoy is for? But what is the reason why the envoy thinks that Paz will turn his back on his allies and become enemies of his allies? ”

Wu Sicheng said with a smile: "What the Duke said is not right, and I don't think that the cooperation agreement that you have reached with Abicilir in private, Lord of Badana, can be used as a symbol of the alliance between the Paz Empire and the Turks. At best, this is just an expedient measure by you, Lord Duke, to burn and kill the plundering Turquoise for the safety of the Paz Empire and the Badana Territory, and you would not use such a verbal agreement as a guarantee of your own security, let alone a proof of long-term peace with a tiger and wolf country like Turth. ”

Bai Basbahn tilted the corners of his mouth slightly, the other party's rhetoric and intelligence had already shown his strength, so he smiled and said: "Your envoy understands my country's distress very well, and I am afraid that I have to agree with this point." However, since your envoy is going to conclude an alliance with our country, why don't you go directly to His Majesty the King, is it possible that you need to be introduced on your behalf? ”

Wu Sicheng replied: "It seems that the Duke still does not know, but in fact, he has already met with His Majesty the King of your country. Your kingdom is very much in favor of this matter, but His Majesty the King thinks that His Majesty has made an appointment with the Turquoise in advance, and if you agree immediately, I am afraid that your position will be a little embarrassing, Your Majesty, so I have specially entrusted you to report to you, hoping that you can proceed from the fundamental interests of your country, abandon your personal likes and dislikes, and conform to His Majesty's wishes. ”

This guy is really difficult to deal with, obviously he came to ask him to conclude an alliance, but he turned the request into a request to convey the wishes of His Majesty the King by pretending to be confused, so that it would take a lot of trouble for him to refuse.

Bai Basbahn looked at this unattractive little man, and secretly began to worry about Abicheril in his heart. (To be continued.) )
