The country from which this envoy came was called Mulan Kingdom, a small border country that even Murong Lin had never heard of even if he lived in a remote domain.

If you want to talk about small countries, such as the place north of the Wanjiang River in the eleventh city of Yanwu, there is a place to return to Xinjiang, which is a small country formed by the gathering of various nomadic peoples.

Although the people inside were brave and good at fighting, and they liked to make some intrigues to endanger the land in other places, because the crowd inside was so loose that they were like local bandits, trying to come down and rob the food and supplies.

Compared with the Murong Dynasty, which has a large land and a strong country, it is still too much worse.

However, because the people in the Huijiang region always have some strange things, and ornaments or treasures with their local colors, even if many people in the imperial territory avoid them like snakes and scorpions, but those who follow the way of merchants are eager to follow them.

As long as they have some special goods in their hands about the output of their return to Xinjiang, these merchants can get a lot of benefits, just like Gu Zeyuan, a friend of Murong Lin in Yanwu City in the past, he also likes to walk around these places from time to time.

But this is just the best country that has some dealings with the Murong Dynasty, and a small country like Mulan, which has almost never heard of a name and has no characteristics to attract others to the past, is a completely different reflection.

According to the practice of the court, whenever a delegation comes to visit, the people of the Ministry of Rites should arrange an address and live under the residence of the pawn, and in order to show the spirit of a great country, Murong Lin, who is the crown prince, needs to meet in person.

Murong Lin was analyzing the situation and human relations between the court and China together with Feng Xiaoyue, and suddenly received a holy decree from the palace to be responsible for receiving visiting missions.

"Mulan Country? How could a country be named after such a flower and plant, this pattern is too small, I have never heard of it. Murong Lin pulled out with disgust on his lips, and then handed over the next holy decree to Feng Xiaoyue.

"I've never heard of any dealings we have with their country, what do you want to do when you suddenly come to the capital this time?"

Feng Xiaoyue stared at Murong Lin for a while, but she didn't bother to instruct him not to underestimate other people's words too much, she only stared at the three words on the holy decree, as if she had some memory in her mind.

"In this country, when I was flipping through ancient books and tea classics before, I seemed to have read a little bit." Feng Xiaoyue said and returned the holy decree, and then led Murong Lin to his bedroom, and took out an ancient book that had been covered with thick dust from the bottom drawer of the bookcase on the side.

"This only says that this small country is particularly rich in flowers, birds, fish and insects, and there are also some different flavors of tea. But this is also the author who wrote this book, and he was lucky enough to taste it many years ago when he traveled there himself. ”

"However, this country does not seem to like to have any dealings with outsiders, so after politely entertaining the author, he told him to leave quickly."

Wiping the dust off the ancient books, Feng Xiaoyue flipped through the table of contents, and finally found the page.

But there are not many records in this book, Feng Xiaoyue's memory is good, and with her love for novelties, what she will tell is all the content.

"It's just that it's rude to go to their country and rush to invite people out." Murong Lin pursed his lips, always feeling that this situation was the same as being better and closing himself in a remote mountain village.

On weekdays, no one believes it, only relying on the habit of saving from their ancestors, they want to call their next generation, and continue to live like this, and whenever something different or unexpected happens, they attribute all the reasons to outsiders.

The author of this ancient book is also lucky, he didn't catch up with the Mulan country, otherwise he would have been even more tragic if he had to deal with him with the power of a country.

"But hasn't their country always disliked to be entangled with others, how could they take the initiative to come over without warning this time, this has nothing to do without going to the Three Treasures Palace, there must be some reason for it."

Feng Xiaoyue closed the ancient books, and when she usually read them, she was only very interested in the expressive tea leaves in their country, but the customs and customs of the country depicted on the paper were really not very pleasing.

"But what do you think will be the reason? Maybe after all this time, they plan to change their minds and come over to get close to us? ”

"I'm afraid they've come here a long time ago to get close, not to mention that they didn't even have a letter of worship before they arrived in the capital, do you think this means that they want to have a good relationship with us?"

Murong Lin shook his head, it wasn't that he deliberately thought about things in these aspects, he really didn't have a good impression. "I'm afraid that there is something wrong with their country, and they are in a hurry to come and find a big backer to help. It's like those poor relatives of big families, I'm afraid they didn't come to fight the autumn breeze. ”

"You, this ......" Feng Xiaoyue was speechless, although what he said was a little too mean, but it may not be the truth. Okay, regardless of whether our guess is the same as reality, it's time for you to go. ”

Saying that, Feng Xiaoyue asked Xiaoyun and Xiaoyu to put the ancient books away again, and then pulled Murong Lin to change into a decent reception and clothes for foreign guests.

"If you don't miscalculate the time, this mission should be going to the Diankeju soon, you go over to meet and come back first, no matter what, at least you can't lose the face of our great country in front of others."

"It's natural." Murong Lin raised his head and proudly agreed, and then took advantage of Feng Xiaoyue's unpreparedness, lightly stole incense on her face, and hurriedly went out with Siben.

Feng Xiaoyue didn't check for a while, and he couldn't punish him back, so he only blushed in place.

Then it didn't take long for Feng Xiaoyue to go to the courtyard with Xiao Yu to make tea, and by the way, she asked Xiao Yun to make some snacks, and then she saw Murong Lin, who had only been out for a long time, and walked over with a confused face.

Murong Lin waved his hand and called the four copies of his cloak to go back and hang up his clothes, and then sat on the stone bench in the courtyard. Feng Xiaoyue looked at it, and felt very puzzled in her heart, so she asked Xiaoyun to step back and get a cup, and handed him the cup of tea in her hand that she hadn't had time to drink.

"Didn't you go to receive the envoys of the Mulan Kingdom, why did you come back so soon? With this expression, is it possible that someone still dares to show you a face? ”

Murong Lin took the cup, looked at Feng Xiaoyue and couldn't help laughing, "You're just joking, a person of my temperament, if anyone really dares to throw me face, I'm afraid that I will quarrel with him on the spot, and I need to come back and sulk, I'm just a little uncomfortable." ”

"That's what I said," Feng Xiaoyue nodded as if she was very face-saving, and agreed as if jokingly, and then propped one hand on the stone table, "Then what is the reason for you now?" ”

Murong Lin held his breath in his heart, Feng Xiaoyue's joke just now didn't know if it had relieved him a little, he frowned and turned his head slightly.

"I just feel that the people of this country are very thoughtful when they talk to me on the surface, but that face and tone are really uncomfortable to listen to."

"That's the surface etiquette, in fact, I despise it in my heart, this is not a serious matter, there are more people like this in this world, you can't even stand this kind of person, right?"

Feng Xiaoyue sighed, and then looked at Murong Lin with a smile, Murong Lin gave her a little unbearable face, and snorted arrogantly.

"Am I such a small-bellied person, the mission of the key country is somewhat similar to what you said, but not exactly the same."

"I also want to treat them as yang and yin, but the way they treat them with such enthusiasm and eagerness makes me hesitate a little, I am only afraid that if I dislike their tone is not respectful enough, they will say that we have no tolerance."

Murong Lin reluctantly said what was in his heart, and then took a sip of the cup, but the tea in this cup was so hot that his mouth almost didn't burn red, and Murong Lin put the cup away in disgust.

"In that case, it is indeed a bit troublesome, it is impossible to speak in such a way that it is the tradition of their country." Feng Xiaoyue nodded.

I feel that they are using this way, I am afraid that they are able to keep their dignity, but this has already run in front of others, but they still have to force themselves to pretend to be unyielding, but they have no face.

"You have to bear with it for the time being, wait and see how they plan to talk tomorrow, if they can change something, forget it, if not, you have to think carefully about their requests."

"You've guessed they're asking us." Murong Lin smiled, Feng Xiaoyue said a pimple in her heart, it happened that Xiaoyun came over to deliver a new cup at this time, so she took this opportunity to glared at Murong Lin fiercely.

"Isn't this an obvious thing, otherwise, who would have come all the way to come here, even if this small country has nothing to ask for, in order to show the spirit of our country, it is impossible for others to go back empty-handed."

"That's just as well." Murong Lin responded, and when he was distracted, he unconsciously picked up the tea on the table again, and as a result, he took a sip, and it was scalded again, just like just now.

It turned out that he put the cup a little farther away just now, almost in front of Feng Xiaoyue, Xiaoyun sent a new cup up, thinking that he didn't have tea, so he put the new cup that had just been filled with hot tea in front of Murong Lin.

Feng Xiaoyue didn't have time to stop it, and after Murong Lin was scalded by the tea, he was still curious about how this cup of tea had cooled for so long, why it was still at such a high temperature.

Then, the next day, it was the time for Mulan Kingdom to enter the palace to face the saint.
