The two days passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was time to welcome the foreign envoys into Beijing. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xiaohuan woke up Liu Fan early in the morning, saying that Liu Qiaode, the secretary of the military department, and Chu Yi, the general of the Xiao Cavalry Army, were waiting for him in the front hall of the mansion.

After Liu Fan hurriedly washed up, he rushed to the front hall, and saw that Liu Qiaode and Chu Yi were chatting without a word, Chu Yi was a person who didn't talk much, and Liu Qiaode was also a little taciturn, and the two sat together and had nothing to say to each other.

Liu Fan strode into the front hall and said with a smile: "Two adults, I'm really embarrassed, last night Ben Hou stayed up all night to prepare some matters about negotiations, and he came one step late, sorry, sorry." ”

Chu Yi nodded expressionlessly.

Liu Qiaode, the old man, was a little stubborn, and when he heard that Liu Fan had stayed up all night, he really came close to Liu Fan and stared at him for a while. I found that the Lord Hou in front of me was full of energy and energy, this appearance was clearly that he had slept for five hours, where did he stay up all night?

After Liu Qiaode saw Liu Fan's appearance clearly, he couldn't help but pout with disdain, and without saying much, he walked straight out.

Liu Fan and Chu Yi looked at each other and smiled, and walked out of the Hou Mansion after Liu Qiaode.

As soon as he walked out of the gate, Liu Fan was startled, and saw two teams of freshly dressed and brightly armored sergeants lined up at the door, holding spears and knives of one color, and there were more than 3,000 people, standing quietly outside the door.

Liu Fan smacked his lips and said with a smile: "Old cousin, so many people are holding swords and guns to greet the Turkic envoys, will they scare those Turkic cubs into going back the same way?" ”

Chu Yi shook his head: "With the character of the Turks, they will not take this point of people and horses seriously, and they advocate force and are arrogant, as if there is nothing they are afraid of in the world." Xuanyu, this nation is bloodthirsty and ferocious by nature, you have to be cautious. ”

Liu Fan frowned, the Turks are not so evil, right? It's all two shoulders and a head, who is afraid of whom?

Liu Qiaode is the secretary of the military department, and the official residence is secondary, but now the chief envoy appointed by Xiang Jingwu is Liu Fan, and Liu Qiaode and Chu Yi are both deputy envoys, so the two of them took a step back together, holding Liu Fan in the middle, and the group drove out of the city.

When the passers-by on the road saw this team of brightly armored and energetic sergeants, they pointed their fingers and talked about it. Liu Fan walked in the front, and couldn't help but feel a burst of pride, if these 3,000 people were my little brother, how good would it be, in the future, I would take them to engage in more entertainment activities such as group fights and molesting women from good families in this huge Luoyang City, I'm afraid no one would dare to object, right?

When he arrived at the Weiwu Gate in the north of Luoyang City, Liu Fan looked up at the sky, it was almost noon.

After looking at it for a while in the shape of a pergola, and finding that the so-called Turkic envoys were nowhere to be found, Liu Fan couldn't help but mutter: "These foreign barbarians, they have no concept of time at all, and their quality is really poor......

Regardless of the brand-new court clothes on his body, Liu Fan sat on a bluestone slab on the side of the road.

Liu Qiaode and Chu Yi, as well as the three thousand sergeants who followed out of the city, stood motionless, even their waists were straight.

Seeing this, Liu Fan greeted enthusiastically: "Hey, why are you standing so straight?" The brute cubs can't see it, so they all find a sheltered place to sit down and rest......"

Liu Qiaode smiled slightly: "Master Hou is at his own convenience, it doesn't hurt for me to stand for a while." ”

Old man Liu was already in his old age and still standing under the scorching sun, Liu Fan, a young man, must be embarrassed to sit down anymore, muttered "dead eyes" in his heart, and reluctantly stood up, accompanied by the big guys to greet the foreign envoys.

At this time, the officials sent by the Ministry of Rites also came one after another, everyone met for a while, and some of the officials wanted to rest on the side of the road for a while like Liu Fan, so it can be seen that the three adults in charge were standing under the scorching sun, and the officials were embarrassed to avoid the shade. Liu Fan's lips moved, wanting to say something, looking at Liu Qiaode's flat face, he finally couldn't help but not speak.

Among the officials of the Ministry of Rites, a middle-aged man in his thirties walked out, smiled at Liu Fan, and said: "Master Hou, the lower official Lu Dingwen, appointed by His Majesty, is the interpreter of the reception of the Turkic envoys this time, and I also ask Lord Hou to take care of it." ”

Liu Fan said with a smile: "Lord Lu's words are wrong, it should be Lu Tongyi who takes care of Ben Hou, we have to cooperate well, what the Turks say, you can translate it to me word for word, if I swear, you tell the Turks that I am greeting their beautiful female relatives, and wish the female relatives of his family good health, and the climax continues, haha." ”

Lu Dingwen's eyes widened, and he looked at Liu Fan in a daze, he had never seen Youxungui so straightforward and vulgar, Lu Dingwen didn't know how to respond to Liu Fan's words for a while.

After waiting for more than two hours, the scorching sun in the afternoon had already made Liu Fan's head dizzy, and just when his patience was completely exhausted, a burst of dust rose from the distant hills, from small to large, from far to near.

Chu Yi said expressionlessly: "They are here." ”

Liu Fan nodded, turned around and shouted at the three thousand sergeants, "Brothers! The waist board is straighter! Don't embarrass our Chu Dynasty! Let the barbarians see, the military power of our Chu Dynasty is not weaker than them! ”

The three thousand sergeants stood solemnly and replied in a loud voice: "Whoa! ”

From a distance, I could already see the ranks of the Turks, and I saw that they were about 200 people, all of them on horseback, even if they were running wildly, they also maintained a fairly neat distance in the queue, and at a glance they were battle-hardened veterans.

As he spoke, the Turkic procession was approaching. The horse's hooves raised dust flying in the sky, like a sudden heavy rain from the sky, which covered Liu Fan and the officials' faces, and the officials covered their faces with their sleeves, or looked around for places to cover the dust. The originally neat team was a little messy by this burst of dust.

The closer they got to the front, the more frightened the officials became, and the low sound of horses' hooves made the ground tremble slightly, as if it was beating on their hearts, which was terrifying, and the officials didn't care about any dignity at this time, and they scattered and retreated, only Liu Fan, Liu Qiaode and Chu Yi were still standing motionless in the front.

Liu Fan stood in the first position, in fact, he Liu Marquis was also a little scared, felt that the situation was not quite right, took a closer look, and found that the barbarian envoys were almost in front of him, but the speed of the horses had not decreased at all, and their queue had become a cone-shaped formation only used when attacking, the barbarian man who ran in the front of the horse was dressed in a sheepskin robe and a woolen felt hat, Liu Fan could even clearly see his facial features, only to see that his eyes were deep-set, his eyes were blue, his nose was pointed, and the side of his face was full of beards, is the same as the Turkic people in Liu Fan's imagination, his face is full of unruliness.

The barbarian's horse did not slow down when it arrived, and the officials and onlookers had already avoided it from a distance, and several officials with a good conscience waved and shouted in the distance: "Three adults, quickly get away!" ”

Why didn't Liu Fan want to avoid it? To tell the truth, he was the first person who wanted to run: Ben Hou Ye was young, and he hadn't enjoyed the comfort of his good days, and many beauties were still waiting for Ben Hou to soak in ...... Rescue, if you are trampled to death by the barbarian's horse outside the city today, what hatred, what resentment?! It's aggrieved to think about!

But he can't run, there are Liu Qiaode and Chu Yi standing behind him, as well as three thousand soldiers, countless onlookers, as the envoy who received the barbarian envoys, if he runs away, how will Old Man Liu look at him? What will Chu Yi think of him? What will the officials, soldiers, and people behind him think of him?

Looking at the horse team galloping in front of him, cold sweat flowed down Liu Fan's forehead, and he involuntarily began to tremble, he could even feel the hot air spurting out of the horse's nostrils, at this moment, he clearly felt that death was so close to him.

Gritting his teeth, Liu Fan suddenly raised his right hand high and shouted to the barbarian horse team: "Stop...... Stop the horses! ”

Chu Yi sneered, pressed the handle of the knife with his hand, and took a step forward.

The barbarians collectively screamed, and as soon as they pulled the reins, two hundred or so horses raised their front hooves, stopped running, and stopped, and the dust behind them spread like a plague.

Liu Fan's hand was still raised in mid-air, covered with dust, and from a distance, it looked like a terracotta warrior that had just been dug out of the soil.

Liu Qiaode, Chu Yi and the three thousand sergeants behind them were no better, they were all disgraced and embarrassed.

Liu Fan stared, staring at the horse ridden by the first barbarian, the distance between him and the horse was only half a foot, Liu Fan could even see the thick mockery in the horse's eyes, - it was indeed a brute raised by a barbarian, and even his temperament was the same as that of a barbarian.

The barbarian envoy did not dismount, but instead sat on the horse and raised his head and laughed, making strange noises from time to time, pointing at Liu Fan and the officials and people behind him who were misbehaving, talking and laughing, and his attitude was extremely arrogant.

Lu Dingwen ran over from the crowd of dodging with a confused face, and leaned in front of Liu Fan and said, "Master Hou......"

Liu Fan snorted a few times, spit out the dust in his mouth, wiped his face fiercely, and asked with a calm face: "Just talk nonsense, Ben Hou doesn't blame you, you just need to tell Ben Hou, what are these bastards talking about?" ”

Lu Dingwen had a difficult look on his face, and Liu Fan said impatiently: "Translate word for word to Benhou, don't forget what the emperor sent you for." ”

Before Lu Dingwen could speak, Chu Yi said coldly on the side: "The barbarians said that the Chu Dynasty sent a hairy boy who had not dried up to negotiate, which is simply a big joke, and they also said that the people of the Chu Dynasty are cowardly and timid by nature, and even if they Turks only send a few galloping horses, they can conquer the entire Chu Dynasty." ”

Liu Fan finally couldn't help it when he heard this, and suddenly he was furious! Damn it! This group of bastards came to the Chu Dynasty to form an alliance for a truce, and they dared to be so arrogant, and if they didn't give them some color, how could they talk about the next negotiations?

Liu Fan turned to Chu Yi and said, "Did the emperor say that you want to listen to me?" ”

Chu Yi nodded, as if he had a premonition that Liu Fan was going to say something, his expression began to be excited, his eyes shone brightly, and his left hand was tightly pressed on the hilt of the knife.

Liu Fan said again: "Does it include the transfer of troops?" ”

Chu Yi nodded fiercely and said, "Your Majesty said that everything is up to you, and you can do whatever you say." ”

Liu Fan smiled and said, "Okay!" Very good......" Saying that, his face changed, and he roared loudly: "Fence up these bastards for Lao Tzu, there are reckless movers, kill!" ”
