After all, the envoy was greeted by the officials of the Honglu Temple, entered Yanjing City, along the way the honor guard of honor appeared very grand, when passing through the street, people looked at the small convoy that greeted them, and they were a little puzzled for a while.

Honglu Temple dispatched such a large array of ceremonial honor guards, which is not common in Yanjing City, but the people in Beijing also know more or less that Honglu Temple is of course waiting for foreign envoys to act like this.

It's just that many people looked at the shabby-looking convoy in the team, and they were a little puzzled, and they didn't know for a while which country's envoy came, looking at the scale, it looked like a small country with a south wind, but the dress of this group of envoys was definitely not the appearance of the people of the wind country.

Blowing and blowing along the way, the sound of ceremonial music, Honglu Temple according to the meaning of the earlier imperial court, gave enough face to this Qingguo mission, but the deputy envoy of Qingguo who led the horse, his head was bandaged, and the solemn Qingguo mission was very incongruous, and the people on the street saw it, they were also extremely puzzled, and most people couldn't figure out why the Qingguo mission still had a wounded.

The Qingguo mission went all the way, stopped in front of the Sitong Pavilion, and the military department had already transferred the Royal Forest Army to guard, after all, it was Qingguo to envoy, and it was not allowed to be sloppy, and it was necessary to protect the safety of this group of people, so the Royal Forest Army also sent heavy guards.

Sitong Hall is an annex under the jurisdiction of Honglu Temple, specially used to receive foreign envoys, not far from the palace, although the area is not huge, but the layout of the whole Sitong Hall is beautiful, it is very elegant, all kinds of utensils and utensils are also extremely exquisite, highlighting the bearing of Yan Kingdom.

Moreover, the Yanjing Mansion is not far from the Sitong Pavilion, and as soon as there is a situation here, the officials of the Yanjing Mansion will be able to arrive quickly.

Su Xianshi has already seen the national letter, and after introduction, he also knows that the Qingguo envoy this time is the prince of Qingguo Xihe, and there are two deputy envoys, one is An Yuqing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites of Qingguo, and the other is not identified, only called Yun Canglan.

The prince of Xihe got down from the carriage, and Su Xianshi, the secretary of Honglu Temple, had already stepped forward and arched his hand: "Prince, you rest here first, this matter has been made clear, as long as the palace sends a will to approach the prince, the official will come to inform!" ”

The prince of Xihe yawned, looked quite tired, and nodded: "Lord Su, everything is tiring, and I ask the emperor of your country to meet earlier, it will be beneficial and harmless to you and me!" ”

Su Xianshi smiled and said yes.

At this moment, the curtain of the latter carriage was finally opened, revealing a very handsome face, with a slender face and bright eyes, which looked to be only twenty-three or fourteen years old, but his temperament seemed to be very mature.

The most distinctive thing is that there is a little red in the eyebrows of this person, just like a Taoist boy.

He got out of the carriage, with a slender figure, wearing a sky blue brocade robe, with an elegant temperament, with his hands behind his back, he glanced at the plaque of the annex, and whispered: "Sitong Pavilion...... All over the world, but there is momentum! ”

Su Xianshi over there saw it and frowned slightly, and the prince of Xihe had already summoned: "Canglan, I haven't come to see Master Su yet!" ”

The handsome young man showed a smile on his face, stepped forward, saluted respectfully, and said in a gentle voice: "Boy Yun Canglan, I have seen Master Su, this time I entered Yanjing, and Lord Lao Su greeted me!" ”

When he spoke, he had a smile on his face, he was polite, he looked extremely cultivated, and that innate elegance was revealed all the time.

When Su Xianshi saw this person, he immediately knew that this person was another deputy envoy of Qingguo, Yun Canglan.

He looked at Yun Canglan and saw that this young man was not only handsome and delicate, but also his eyes were extremely deep, just looking at those bright eyes, Su Xianshi felt that this young man must be an extremely smart junior.

He bowed his hand and said with a smile: "You have traveled a long way, all the way has been hard, please enter the museum to rest first, if you have any needs, you can always ask the official!" ”

Everyone didn't say much, and moved all the luggage into the annex, Su Xianshi saw that they didn't have many items with them, so he frowned slightly, after all, this time the two countries were negotiating, and Qingguo was going to offer a large number of financial gifts, but these salutes in front of him seemed to be far from each other.

After Su Xianshi settled the Qing envoy, he led the officials of the Honglu Temple to say goodbye and left, and ordered the guards to protect the Qingguo Mission, which was within the scope of his duties.

……

As soon as the officials of the Yan Kingdom left, Yun Canglan immediately gathered the more than twenty knights and ordered: "Around the residence of the prince, immediately set up a mechanism...... Ten people are divided into two shifts to strictly protect the safety of the prince! At this time, there was no longer a smile on the young man's face, although his demeanor was still elegant and calm, but the bright eyes were extremely sharp.

"Yes!"

Yun Canglan glanced at everyone and said calmly: "You are all the best warriors in my Daqing, and now that you are in Yan Kingdom, you must be even more cautious, and you must open your eyes for me to sleep when you sleep...... We are bound to protect the safety of the prince with our lives! ”

This group of Qingguo warriors all showed a determined color, and said in unison: "Swear to protect the safety of the prince to the death!" ”

Yun Canglan waved his hand, and everyone immediately took out their tools and began to arrange mechanisms around the residence of the prince of Xihe.

The prince of Xihe was sitting on the big chair in the inner room at this time, and waited for Yun Canglan to come in before he said: "Canglan, now that you have arrived in Yanjing, there is no need to make such a fuss, let everyone rest when they should rest......!" ”

An Yuqing, the secretary of the Qingguo Rite Department who was beaten by Xiao Mingtang, also said: "Lord Yun, our safety is in danger, and the people of Yan are more worried than us...... It's just that the group of guys who beat the officials at the city gate must be found out by the Yan people, and they will all be executed ......! ”

Yun Canglan behaved elegantly, closed the door gently, and entered, only then did he shake his head with a grim expression: "Lord Wang, Lord An, the truth is the opposite, we are on the way, after disguise, not many people know our traces, it is much safer, but now that we have entered Yanjing, it has become more dangerous!" ”

The prince of Xihe frowned and said, "Canglan, where do you start with this?" ”

"Lord Yun, are you worried that the Wei people will come back to assassinate us?" An Yuqing also asked.

Yun Canglan said slowly: "Lord Wang, Lord An, if you say that you are from the Wei Kingdom, you should not be afraid. We have set up an agency here, and there are more than 20 Hu Yong, and Wei Guoxiao's junior is definitely unable to hurt the prince and Lord An in the slightest! ”

The prince of Xihe said curiously: "If you are not afraid of the Wei people, then what are you worried about?" ”

Yun Canglan's Qingjun face was very calm, and he said softly: "I am not afraid of the people of the Wei Kingdom, but I have to guard against the ...... of the Yan people!" ”

An Yuqing and the prince of Xihe glanced at each other, and their eyes showed surprise.

"Lord Wang, Lord An, the situation in Yan Kingdom is by no means as simple as ordinary people think!" Yun Canglan said calmly: "Yan Kingdom is not their emperor's final say, their several great families are extremely powerful, and these major families are fighting openly and secretly, not every family has a good impression of our Qingguo!" ”

The prince of Xihe stroked his beard and said, "More than ten years ago, we in Daqing also dealt with them...... That time the two sides quickly reached an agreement, and there was no new wave, right? ”

Yun Canglan smiled faintly and said, "That time, the people of the Wei State thought that they were strong and strong, and they alone could capture my Qingguo, so they did not collude with the Yan people...... But this time the Wei people have the lesson of the last defeat, so they must make full preparations, and joining forces with the Yan people is also part of their plan......! After a pause, he said: "It is precisely because the people of Wei did not negotiate with the people of Yan back then, and we gave a generous financial gift in Daqing at that time, so the people of Yan did not have many choices at that time, so they could only reach a non-aggression agreement with my Qingguo...... But this time, the Wei people intervened, and the thoughts of the Yan people would not be the same as back then! ”

An Yuqing sneered: "Could it be that he, Yan Kingdom, still dares to be an enemy of our Daqing?" ”

Yun Canglan glanced at An Yuqing and said calmly: "The Wei State has not moved, and the Yan State does not dare to be the enemy of my Qingguo, but now that the Wei State is on the frontier of Chen Bing, whether the people of the Yan State have the heart to take advantage of the fire to rob is unpredictable!" ”

Hearing Yun Canglan say this, the room was quiet for a while.

The prince of Xihe looked calm, but An Yuqing's face already showed a bit of fear.

An Yuqing always thought that when he arrived in Yanjing City, it would be equivalent to a safe place, but after Yun Canglan's analysis, he suddenly understood that this Yanjing City may not be a tiger's mouth for the Qingguo Mission.

The prince of Xihe is not a stupid person, he just pondered for a while, and then understood the key to it, and said slowly: "Canglan, what do you mean...... Is it possible that the Yan family secretly murdered this king? ”

Yun Canglan just said very calmly: "Lord Wang, what is the plan of the Yan Kingdom, we still don't know...... In this situation, anything can happen. ”

"Hmm!" The prince of Xihe nodded slightly.

Although some words were not said directly, the prince of Xihe was not uncounted.

He also knew in his heart that the Yan family was fighting, whether to unite Qing or Wei, the major families must have different opinions, and the Yan court must also have a clear and secret fight on this matter.

And those families who want to unite the Wei State, the most direct way to prevent the Yan State from reaching an agreement with the Qing State is to let the envoys of the Qing State die in the Yan State, as long as such a result occurs, it will definitely make the families who support the United Qing State fall into passivity, and the death of the Qing envoy in the Yan State will definitely anger the Qing State side.

On the Qingguo side, not all the forces are willing to unite with the Yan State, in the Qingguo mainland, there is also an open and secret fight, once the Qing envoy is killed, the forces within the Qing State that oppose joining forces with the Yan State will definitely jump out, and then the two countries of Yan and Qing want to negotiate and cooperate, it will inevitably become extremely difficult.

Therefore, the prerequisite for Yan Qing to reach an agreement must ensure that the Qing envoy will never have any accidents.

What seems to be a negotiation is actually a struggle between various forces behind the scenes.

The prince of Xihe pondered for a moment, and finally asked, "Canglan, in your opinion, what should we do next?" ”

Yun Canglan smiled and said: "The prince has worked hard all the way, so let's rest for the time being." Now that we come to Yan Kingdom, we always have to go to meet Princess Huaqing, as for what happens next, Canglan knows in his heart! ”

The prince of Xihe looked at the delicate face with firm confidence, and his originally troubled heart eased a little, and said with a smile: "Okay, you go and see her first, this king really wants to take a break!" ”

An Yuqing hurriedly said: "Lord Yun, this official is going with you?" ”

Yun Canglan shook his head and smiled: "Lord An is also working hard all the way, let's rest first." Later, we still have a lot of things to do, take advantage of this time, and recharge our energy for the time being! ”

Sincere thanks to every good friend who supports the desert!
