After sending away the Ninth Legion of Duoyin, the new Xiongnu royal court ushered in a delegation sent by the Eastern Roman Empire, this time the Eastern Roman Empire sent a mission mainly to congratulate the Xiongnu Empire on having a new Dadanyu, but also to congratulate Qin Dong on becoming the regent of the Xiongnu Empire, Qin Dong and Leo I originally had a secret covenant, and it was common sense for Leo I to send a delegation to congratulate, after all, Leo I had just ascended the throne of the Eastern Roman Empire, and the throne was not very stable, and Qin Dong was needed for such a foreign aid.

The mission sent by the Eastern Roman Empire had a total of more than 100 people, and there was also a wing of cavalry as an escort, carrying a large number of congratulatory gifts, the main person in charge of the mission was Priests, Priests was a historian of the Eastern Roman Empire, and now he was the mayor of Constantinople, and he had previously followed the mission to meet Attila at the court of the Huns in Panronia, and the famous "Records of the Hun King's Court" was written by him based on what he saw and heard.

Priests was an observant person, and he had carefully studied the situation of the Xiongnu Empire before he came, and he had also carefully studied Qin Dong as a person, so he knew that Qin Dong was the master of the new Xiongnu court, and Enek was just a puppet, so the first person he met after he brought the delegation to Saidika was Qin Dong.

After seeing Qin Dong, Priests found that Qin Dong was really young, but although he was young, the heroism on his face diluted Qin Dong's age, Qin Dong sat on the chair and stared at Priests without speaking, and an invisible momentum forced Priests over.

Priests felt it instantly, and beads of sweat immediately oozed from his forehead and vest. He felt the momentum emanating from Qin Dong's body, this momentum was the momentum of the superior person, very similar to the momentum he felt when he met Attila many years ago. But there is a big difference.

Attila's momentum is mixed with ferocity, cunning, and tyranny, while the momentum exuded by Qin Dong is mixed with might, bravery, wisdom, and incomparability.

Priests immediately bowed and saluted: "Priests, the chief envoy of the Eastern Roman Empire and the mayor of Constantinople, pays a visit to His Royal Highness the regent of the Hun Empire!" ”

Qin Dong stared at Priests without speaking, but his eyes as if they were about to penetrate people's hearts continued to focus on him, at this time it was the most testing time for a person's mental quality, but Priests didn't last long before he trembled. It was only then that Qin Dong spoke: "This king remembers that many years ago, the Eastern Roman Empire once sent an envoy to Panronia, and there was a scholar in charge of recording history in the mission, named Priests. That Priests can't be Your Excellency, right? ”

Priests had already hunched his body and hadn't gotten up yet, but now when he heard Qin Dong ask, he could only lower his body again and answer: "Your Royal Highness, Honorable Lord Regent, it's hard for you to remember, that's the minister!" ”

"That's good. Lord Priests. You are a learned and well-mannered person, I say so, you have no opinion, right? ”

"Huh?" Priests was stunned, and quickly reacted: "Your Royal Highness, the Lord Regent, you praise it, the subordinates dare not say that they are knowledgeable, but they still know some etiquette!" ”

Qin Dong nodded, but at this moment, his face suddenly changed and said, "Since Your Excellency knows some etiquette. Then this king is going to talk to you well, as far as this king knows. It seems that there is a clause in the etiquette of your country that when foreign envoys meet the emperor of your country, they should bow down when they meet the emperor, why do you only bow down when you meet this king, and is this king not worthy of your kneeling and prostration? Well? ”

The last word came out of the nostrils and seemed so heavy that the armor soldiers standing around the main hall thought that Qin Dong was angry, and collectively took a step forward, making a loud noise, and at the same time collectively pulled out the saber on his waist, as long as Priests answered to Qin Dong's dissatisfaction, they might rush over and chop Priests into meat sauce.

The aura of slaughter instantly filled the entire hall, and Priests saw those armor soldiers, and secretly looked at Qin Dong again, only then did he feel that Qin Dong's momentum had changed again, this was the momentum brought by power.

Priests's whole body trembled like a sieve, feeling a huge pressure squeezing him, and he was a little speechless, and finally stabilized his body, not letting himself kneel down because of his weakness, and barely squeezed out a few words: "Respect, respect, Your Royal Highness the Regent, you are right, the foreign envoys to see our emperor are to kneel and bow, if the ministers meet your country's Dashan Yu, they will also kneel and bow, but His Royal Highness the Regent is not your country's Dashan Yu after all, so please forgive the ministers can only bow down!" ”

After saying this, Priests secretly looked at Qin Dong and observed his expression, he also knew that it would be useless to do so, but he just wanted to see what Qin Dong's reaction was, angry? Fly into a rage? Draw a knife and cut it on the spot?

No, Qin Dong neither thundered nor drew a knife to cut over, but immediately changed his face, laughed and said: "Haha, Your Excellency Priests, this king was joking with you just now, I hope you don't mind, in fact, I am a very easy-going person, and I often like to joke with my subordinates to reconcile the atmosphere!" ”

I'm rubbing, are you kidding that? I was almost scared to death, even when I saw Attila, I wasn't so thrilling, Priests scolded in his heart, but soon thought that this Qin Dong was really moody, his personality was erratic, elusive, and more difficult to deal with than Attila.

He muttered in his heart, but his mouth was not idle: "Where, where, it turns out that His Royal Highness the Prince Regent likes to joke with his subordinates, this is a strange thing!" ”

Qin Dong smiled and nodded, suddenly thought of something, and then said: "Your Excellency Priests, I heard that you have a book that is based on what you saw and heard when you were on a previous mission to Panronia, what is the title of the book "The Records of the Envoy to the Court of the Huns"? I wonder if there is such a thing? ”

Qin Dong's question startled Priests, thinking that I only started writing this book recently, and I haven't finished it yet, how can Qin Dong know? Don't.......? Thinking of this, Priests only felt a chill up and down his body, from the top of his head to the soles of his feet, and his mind was in a trance for a while.

Seeing that Priests hadn't spoken for so long, Qin Dong coughed twice and asked, "What, Your Excellency Priests, isn't that the case?" Could it be that the king's message is wrong? ”

Priests woke up in shock, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "Yes, I didn't expect His Royal Highness the Regent to be so well-informed, this book was only written last month, and now it has only written tens of thousands of words, I don't know how His Highness knows about this?" ”

"Haha!" Qin Dong snorted, he didn't expect that Priests had only started writing this book recently, and he hadn't finished it yet, he felt a little embarrassed when he asked, but he immediately lied to himself: "Don't you know that you are not only famous in Constantinople, but also in our Hun Empire?" This king listened to the merchants from Constantinople, and I didn't expect that they were just hearsay, and the news they got was not true, haha! I remember that after this book is finished, I must send a book to the king to study and study. By the way, I don't know why Your Excellency led the delegation this time? ”

Priests saw that Qin Dong had changed the topic, so he didn't continue to ask, it was obviously unwise to continue to ask, so he could only follow Qin Dong's thinking, and when he saw Qin Dong asking, he hurriedly said: "Your Royal Highness, the ministers came this time with a delegation on the order of our Emperor Leo I to congratulate His Highness on the throne of the regent of the Hun Empire, and to congratulate the new Great Shan Yu of your country. You led a delegation to Saidika this time to greet His Royal Highness the regent of the Xiongnu Empire on my behalf, and to congratulate His Royal Highness and Da Shan Yu, this is the first thing, the second thing, the ministers on behalf of our Emperor Xià and His Royal Highness to discuss the business and trade between the two countries, our Emperor Xià intends to increase the volume of trade between your two countries, your country is short of food, iron and pottery, etc., and our country is short of leather, horses and wool and other goods, our country for your country's demand for beer is increasing day by day, so I want Your Highness to agree to increase the volume of trade transactions, after all, it's something that's good for both of us! ”

Qin Dong thought for a while and nodded: "Well, the opinion of His Majesty the Emperor of your country, this king will consider it, Your Excellency should stay in Saidika for a while, and during this time, this king will give you an answer, no matter what, I will definitely not let Your Excellency come in vain!" ”

Priests hurriedly said, "Then thank you, Your Highness!" ”

Qin Dong said again: "Since Your Excellency has finished what you are going to say, then this king will propose to your Excellency a proposal, you and I will each set up embassies in each other's capitals, and send envoys to the embassy respectively, so that the two sides can communicate and coordinate many matters with each other, and the land occupied by the embassy will be purchased by the other party, and the sovereignty will belong to the other side after purchase, and no one in the country where the embassy is located shall enter without the permission of the embassy, otherwise it will be regarded as aggression!" Countries can send a small number of troops to their embassies abroad to maintain the security and order of their embassies, and the countries where embassies are located are obliged to sell the daily necessities and supplies needed by embassies. ”

Priests was embarrassed: "This, Your Highness, this matter is very important, I am afraid that the subordinate will not be able to answer you, and only after the subordinate returns to China and makes it clear to His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress, can he give a clear answer to His Highness!" ”

Qin Dong said with a smile: "Of course, this is a big deal, and this king also knows that you can't decide, so please make it clear to the emperor and empress of your country after you return to your country, this king believes that they will not let this king wait too long!" (To be continued......)
