Chapter Ninety-Seven: Envoy to Wusun Country

In fact, Hu Li is not without reliance, every move of the other party is under the monitoring of the high-altitude golden eagle, and the place where General Kevin held the banquet is not far from the gate of the camp, and there are no soldiers arranged around, obviously to dispel Hu Li's doubts. Besides, there are three elephants in Hu Li's pet space, and if something is wrong, as long as the elephants block the camp entrance, Hu Li and the other six people can calmly return to their camp.

Princess Anne saw that Hu Li had only brought five guards, and her beautiful eyes flashed with an inexplicable look, and she obviously admired Hu Li's courage. After everyone was seated, General Kevin, who was sitting in the first place, clapped his hands and let people start to serve wine and food, singing and dancing. There is nothing special about the food and drink, after all, it is in the barracks, and everything will inevitably be a little simple.

Although Hu Li has been in the Western Regions for more than half a year, he has been busy, and he has never seen the singing and dancing of the Western Regions. Hu Li doesn't know much about singing and dancing, and he has been running around since he came to this world, and most of the people he comes into contact with are from military backgrounds, and the only time he has appreciated the singing and dancing of this era is when he was a guest at Zhen's house for a few days after saving Zhen Mi.

The songs and dances of the Han people and the songs and dances of the Western Regions are superior or inferior, but the special features of the songs and dances of the Western Regions are easy to see. These dancing girls who are performing are more daring to show, they wear fewer clothes than Han dancers, and it is much more tempting to twist their waists, and the pillar standing behind Hu Li can't help but swallow saliva, which makes Hu Li secretly sigh that the pillar has grown up, and it seems that he has to arrange family affairs for him.

The other four guards stood dutifully outside the tent before the banquet began, closely watching every move around them. These dancing girls are all Princess Anne's maids making cameos, and they all know that Princess Anne has a request from Juli, so they perform the dance very attentively, and they also come to Juli's side from time to time to help him pour wine.

As the princess's maids, the quality of these women is of course very high, and most of the perfumes in the Western Regions are now collected from some natural flowers, which smell very good. Hu Li was also teased by them, but Hu Li still remembered that he had something to do here, so he reluctantly restrained himself.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not much, Hu Li didn't want to suffer this kind of torture anymore, so he got up and raised a glass to General Kevin. General Kevin also knew that Hu Li had something to say, so he waved off the dancing girls, and then stood up and drank the wine as well.

After Hu Li finished drinking, he said to General Kevin: "We came to the Western Regions this time to open up trade routes and trade in silk and porcelain. ”

General Kevin replied: "The Silk Road, this name is very apt, this Silk Road can promote the prosperity of our Western Regions, and of course our Wusun Kingdom has no reason to refuse. However, I have a request, I hope that Your Excellency can go to my Wusun Kingdom as an envoy of the Heavenly Empire and express your support to the second prince of my Wusun Kingdom. Now our king has been dead for more than a year, but the throne of the king has been hanging in the balance. The second prince is famous, but the army in his hands is slightly weak, and the eldest prince is violent and unkind, but he has a strong army in his hands. If it weren't for the wait-and-see attitude of the national teacher, I'm afraid that my Wusun Kingdom would have been in chaos a long time ago, and now we have made an agreement with the national teacher, as long as Princess Anne is willing to marry the son of the national teacher, the national teacher will choose to support the second prince. Princess Anne and the second prince are siblings of the same mother, since the second prince and the eldest prince began to confront each other, for the sake of Princess Anne's safety, the second prince sent someone to secretly send Princess Anne to the West City. I came this time to take Princess Anne back to marry the son of the national teacher, but Princess Anne complained about it, so it was delayed for a month. Now that our second prince has the support of the national teacher, he has gained the upper hand against the eldest prince, and your support for our second prince as an envoy of the Celestial Empire will definitely make the power of the eldest prince collapse and save our Wusun country from the suffering of civil strife. ”

After speaking, General Kevin stood up and bowed deeply to Hu Li, who listened to General Kevin's words and thought about it seriously. If things are really as General Kevin said, then it is not impossible for him to go to Wusun Country, and he will have to negotiate the Silk Road with Wusun Kingdom sooner or later.

Besides, it will take more than half a month to go to Wusun Kingdom, and there will be more opportunities to start after a long time. Therefore, Hu Li replied very happily: "I agreed to the general's request, so shall we leave tomorrow?" As for Princess Anne wanting to know about our Han Dynasty, you can also talk while walking. ”

General Kevin was very pleased with Hu Li's cheerfulness, but Princess Anne was a little depressed, her original intention was to delay it for a little longer, she really didn't want to marry that barbarian. However, when she heard that she could still understand the affairs of the Han Dynasty, she felt a little better, and Princess Anne secretly made up her mind that she must find a way to delay her return to Wusun Kingdom on the way.

After the matter was settled, General Kevin summoned the dancing girl again, and then enjoyed the dancing and drinking with Hu Li. At the end of the drink, General Kevin fell drunk and collapsed in his seat, while Huli was helped back to camp by the pillar.

Early the next morning, Hu Li woke up from his sleep, and on the one hand, he ordered his subordinates to set off with the whole army, and on the other hand, he ordered Zhuzi to send Hu Li's letter to the Pishan stronghold.

Hu Li's letter was addressed to the current head of the Black Rose Merchant Group, who was the sworn brother of Black Rose's father, and Hu Li had to call him uncle. Hu Li said in the letter that he and the others had to go to Wusun Kingdom, and all the silk and porcelain in the Pishan stronghold would be sold by the Black Rose Merchant Group, so as to reach the territory of Dawan Kingdom before Hu Li and the others returned.

Hu Li asked them to leave the mark of the Black Rose Merchant Group on the ground in a remote place near the city after they arrived at a city, so that Hu Li could find their whereabouts through the golden eagle.

The Black Rose Merchant Group plus the newly recruited more than 200 guards, the number of guards has reached more than 800 people, even if more than 100 people are left in the Pishan stronghold to take care of women and children, the number of guards is still 700 people, plus strict training and sophisticated equipment, as well as two good horses, and the reconnaissance intelligence of eagles in the sky, the combat effectiveness of these 700 guards should not be underestimated.

Moreover, with a large amount of money and materials from selling porcelain and silk, plus some goods from the Western Regions sold between different cities, the strength of the Black Rose Merchant Group will only become stronger and stronger like a snowball, and it is definitely qualified to be Hu Li's spokesperson in the Western Regions.
