Chapter 167: Eternal Interests

Even though Lu Bing has all kinds of ideas, killing two birds with one stone, etc., etc., etc., but he also gives Xiliang enough face. There has never been a precedent for a powerful monarch to personally go to a neighboring country, not because of the security problems of going deep into the tiger's den, but because it represents the face of the country, which is quite a suspicion of condescension.

Xiliang naturally also attaches great importance to Lu Bing's visit, and takes Lu Bing's demonstration for granted, after all, it is a powerful country, and its strength is better than that of Xiliang. Therefore, the demonstration after the show of weakness can be regarded as a way of balance, and it should be shared.

Xia Dade took the queen Xiangyun and the civil and military officials out of the city to greet him, although it was a long distance from the border of Xinguo and Xiliang to the capital Samarkand, and Lu Bingyao was not in a hurry or slow, so the news of the blue race and the hot air balloon in the sky had been transmitted to Samarkand four days ago. But when these things came to the front of them, they still greatly shocked the government and the opposition in the central part of Xiliang.

Lu Bing ordered people to raise flags and tell them to wait outside Samarkand, not to block the sun of Samarkand, but these castles floating in the palace are enough to see the scene inside Samarkand, and the residents of the city can also see these hot air balloons. People came out of the house and looked at something in the sky, and some even knelt down, thinking that the gods had descended.

Most of the people in Xiliang are tall and stout, but Lu Bing is no less than them, and his waist is even more symmetrical, and he is also majestic and masculine. Not to mention the Lan people, whose height is inversely proportional to the intensity of the light, but the Lan people are an exception. Because they live on top of snow-capped mountains, they continue to be sunny and warm, and they are naturally tall. It seems that this difference is a small difference but a thousand miles away, which is the natural principle of natural selection for the survival of the fittest. In nature, such changes lead to survival and perdition, and no matter how advanced human science and technology are, they cannot escape such natural laws.

The Blue are a mysterious race, they have a super ability to heal themselves, a strong physique, a quick movement, and a tall but very athletic person. And that's not all, their blood can be disinfected and detoxified. External clothing has an effect, and the effect of using them for their own mobility is extraordinary. At first, Lu Bing was worried that they were used to living at high altitudes. It was a little uncomfortable to come to the low altitude, but later it turned out that it was simply unfounded, not only did they tolerate cold but also high temperatures, and there was nothing wrong with low altitudes and high altitudes. Even in the water, they can hold their breath for long periods of time. It is estimated that it is related to the usual life in a hypoxic environment, and even the new generation has inherited such skills. Although the environment can change species, it is by no means something that can be done in one or two generations.

There are many strong things about the blue people, such as coming to Xiliang now, the weather is hot, the climate is changing rapidly, they are not hot at all when they wear armor, and they don't feel cold at night. You can sleep in a casual bed, and you don't even need to build a tent to shelter from the wind and rain. Such a blue race. Standing in front of the tall warriors of Xiliang, he was like a giant, and his well-developed muscles made the warriors of Xiliang tremble when they saw it.

Lu Bing turned over and dismounted, walked quickly to Xia Dade and hugged his fists and said, "Second brother." ”

"Third brother." Xia Dade also greeted Lu Bing. People have an inherent love for each other, not to mention brothers with deep affection, it is easy to say how to kill people in the air and strategize to win thousands of miles, and all kinds of insidious things are not cruel. But as soon as the two meet, any power and interests will be left behind, and all that remains is a strong brotherhood of life and death.

The two hugged each other regardless of their physique, and held each other's backs for a long time before parting. Xia Dade put his arm on Lu Bing's shoulder and said, "Third brother, you have become much older in the past year, damn, your hair is gray, it seems that you are very tired of state affairs." ”

"The second brother looks very good." Lu Bing looked at Xia Dade with a smile and said.

Xia Dade put it in Lu Bing's ear and said: "Xiliang is barbaric, as long as the force is there, it can be managed, and the power is in the hands of the poor and tyrannical, which is naturally comfortable." In contrast, there are too many smart people in the Han people, and if I want to take care of them, I will cut them all. I heard that you are still engaged in literacy and intelligent citizen policies, and you think that you have suffered from them and made yourself like this. ”

"The national conditions are different, and I don't think there's anything wrong with them." Lu Bing also said in a low voice, the two looked at each other and laughed, laughing, the laughing ministers were inexplicable, and they could only laugh with them from the side, but they didn't know why.

Lu Bing said: "My eldest brother has not accompanied me into the city, I just saw the extraordinary momentum of the ancient city of Samarkand from outside the city, such a strong city wall and magnificent buildings, it is really something my brother has never seen before." This turned out to be the architecture of West Asia, and it was really exotic. ”

"What Sia? Is there anything else you haven't seen before? I thought you'd seen everything. Xia Dade smiled and pulled Lu Bing onto the chariot, the emperors and queens of the two countries got on the wheel, and the four of them followed by the escort towards the Xiliang Palace.

Along the way, both sides were full of soldiers and onlookers who maintained the situation, and everyone admired the demeanor of the new monarch Lu Bing, and felt that it was no wonder that he could achieve such a great cause. Wulianghai can have eight worships. Today, when I saw it, it was really a talent, and at first glance it was handsome and extraordinary, with both the elegance of the Han people, and the masculinity advocated by the people of Xiliang, the white hair on the temples not only did not show old, but also filled in a different charm.

Lu Bing and Xia Dade waved at everyone again and again, and Xia Dade laughed and said: "Third brother, they are used to seeing vulgar people like me, and now when they see a handsome person like you, they are only afraid that their aesthetics will change, and I am afraid that I will no longer be a heartthrob when the time comes." Tut-tut, the eyes of the big girl and the little daughter-in-law are straight, our beauties in the Western Regions are sexy and enchanting, do you want to enrich your harem. ”

Lu Bing looked back at Xiangyun, who was talking and laughing with Meng Xueqing, and asked "How much did you take?" ”

"What kind of person are you, second brother, clean and self-conscious, how can you mess around. Ahem, well, I'll admit I'm guilty, but it's love, not really fear. Xia Dade said.

Lu Bing pouted: "Come on, you used to beat you like this." You don't dare to do it yourself, you still let me store it, three women in one play, I have three now, don't make trouble for me. ”

"Hey, yes. Third brother, what the hell is that group of blue people behind you? Xia Dade asked.

Lu Bing said: "The blue people in the Himalayas are a strong people. One enemy is not a problem. Even if we talk so loudly now, so far apart, they can still hear it, believe it or not? ”

"I'll make up, why did you say it earlier, I said something from others, this is not very good." Xia Dade stammered. Lu Bing laughed and said: "Although they can hear it, they can't understand it, and now there are only two people in the world who can understand their words." One is me and the other is a living Buddha in the snowy region of Wusi-Tibet. They are loyal to me and regard me as a god, and I can trust my life to them. ”

"You kid is so full of adventures, you are really a strange person." Xia Dade said.

Lu Bing and his entourage came to the magnificent Samarkand Palace. This palace is no worse than the Forbidden City in Beijing. But the exotic style has a different style. Whenever Lu Bing went to a strange place, he would take a closer look and be amazed, praising the miracle of the Creator and the different wonders created by cultural differences.

Xia Dade put on a feast, three days and three nights without stopping, and gave an exceptional welcome to Lu Bing's arrival, which was extremely grand and could be called the first prosperous era in the history of Xiliang in a hundred years, and only one hundred and twenty years later, when a faint monarch married the queen, the grand state can be compared. In short, there are lights everywhere, and the voices are boiling, showing the strong national strength of Xiliang and the state of singing and dancing.

Lu Bing had a discussion with Xia Dade. In front of the chief minister of Xiliang, he first explained the reasons why Xiliang's request was rejected. And said that this is just the younger brother's explanation to the elder brother, and the country is not allowed between countries, there is not so much why. This shows Lu Bing's tough side, even if he comes to the land of Xiliang, he is still so tough, this is not only Lu Bing's character, but also a symbol of the strong national strength of the new country, and it is such a strong national strength that is supporting Lu Bing. Of course, Lu Bing would not be so stupid as to say that Xiliang would encircle the new country, that the new country might be in danger, or that there would be any interest in selling weapons, but only that there were commercial code and moral reasons.

At the same time, Xiliang and Xinguo are on good terms, and the alliance of life and death must help each other, and the monarchs of the two countries have more sense of righteousness. Therefore, Lu Bing was willing to give Xiliang several relatively advanced siege guns and field artillery to show his sincerity to help Xiliang increase his military might. Although these weapons are not as good as the elite of the Lu Jiajun, they are also the standard equipment nowadays, and they are infinitely powerful. But Lu Bing hoped that Xiliang would stop there and stop attacking Tatar, which was just a request, not a request.

Xia Dade didn't make a statement, and the ministers didn't say anything, but Lu Bing smiled slightly after leaving, he naturally understood that Xia Dade would not be willing, because with such advanced weapons, the battle situation was naturally more inclined to Xiliang, how could he give up.

Xia Dade was extremely happy during the trip to Xiliang, and declared that he would also go to Xinguo to move around more in the future, and the two sides had Lu Bing's personal envoy this time, so that the more tense situation could be eased. They saw the strength and advanced weapons of the new country, but they did not bully the weak, but came to visit them in person. Xiliang's face was satisfied, the people were also pacified, and the relationship between the two parties was not bad, but went further and became very close. The people yearn for the mysterious and developed new country of the East, and the non-governmental trade teams come and go endlessly, but they are more frequent.

This time, while Lu Bing showed his strength, he also received arms orders from many countries, not only from Xiliang, but also from several small countries in the west of Xiliang, and the business went further. The prestige of the new country spread all over the world, and the people of Xiliang were like gods, handsome but not weak, strong and mighty King Lu Bing of the new country, became the idol of many people, and the girl Huaichun wanted to marry Lu Bing, leaving a good reputation as the king of a generation, and it is also said that his guards were blue-skinned giants.

Lu Bing did not hide his next trip, he told Xia Dade that he wanted to exchange courtesies, since Tatar also sent a letter, asking for rescue, he might as well go to Tatar on the way back, regardless of whether the two sides carry it out, he must give an answer. It's just that Tatar is just a country outside of foreign culture, not stronger than Xiliang, and there is no friendship between the lords of the country, so although Xiliang is far away, he must come to Xiliang first. Xia Dade is very happy and satisfied, Lu Bing is particular about doing things, even if things are unfavorable, it is also comfortable.

Ten days later, Lu Bing began to return, Xiangyun pear blossoms brought rain, crying goodbye to his sister Meng Xueqing, Meng Xueqing is still so beautiful, although she is not as radiant as before, but she is still beautiful and moving, and she has an elegant and atmospheric temperament. This not only made the subjects of Xiliang see the charm of oriental beauties, but Meng Xueqing's generous and extraordinary manners made the ministers of Xiliang ashamed, even the queen was so virtuous, let alone Emperor Lu Bing.

However, Xiangyun was already as fat as a coarse bucket, and Lu Bing originally thought it was caused by eating too much goat's milk cheese, but after seeing Xia Dade's ten children, he suddenly understood. This is almost a rhythm of the year, and it is strange that the body is not out of shape.

Lu Bing and Xia Dade waved goodbye, Xia Dade sent more than 100 miles in a row, and Lu Bing made an appointment to meet again after several persuasions before returning. Lu Bing did not delay this time, according to Xiliang intelligence, Lu Bing started from the place of departure, and it only took two days to get out of Xiliang, and all the ministers were frightened, and they were all amazed by the speed of Lu Bing's rapid march, and at the same time understood that those floating hot air balloons in the sky could not only move slowly, but also move quickly. In other words, if Lu Bing is willing to send troops, whether by land or from the sky, he can come to Samarkand within three days. Even if Lu Bing left, he also made a deterrent, and Xia Dade had to sigh secretly, his third brother was really not easy to get along with. (To be continued......)
