Practicing martial arts is a very hard thing, but with long-legged sparring, it is not so boring.

Although Xiao Rui's injury is not yet healed, Zhuge Liuying takes an hour and a half every day to come to the Xianwang Mansion to accompany Xiao Rui to practice, and if the injury is not good, then practice the basics, such as where the attack will make the opponent's eyes dark, which acupoints are important acupoints, etc., all say that learning is cumbersome, and practicing martial arts is really rough? If you want to learn well, it is not necessarily easier than the Four Books and Five Classics.

And as Xiao Rui's injuries gradually healed, the intensity of his practice continued to increase, and he was already able to fight against Zhuge Liuying. Although not her opponent, she began to become familiar with her martial arts.

In this way, time passed day by day, and the envoys of the Great Yan Kingdom finally entered the land of Gyeonggi.

Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites began to be busy, preparing the post station annex for the envoys to rest, Xiao Rui could only suspend the martial arts practice, participate in it, be familiar with all the etiquette, and be familiar with the information of the envoys of the Great Yan Kingdom.

This time, the envoy of the Great Yan Kingdom is Princess Linglong, who has decision-making power on behalf of the Yan Emperor, and there are two deputy envoys, one named Lan Junbo, who is the left scattered cavalry attendant of the lower province of the Great Yan Kingdom.

The other person is the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites, Huang Qiusheng, a veteran of the two dynasties, loyal to Emperor Yan, and it is estimated that he came to suppress the battle.

The political system of the Great Yan Kingdom is different from that of the Great Xia Kingdom, it is a three-province and six-ministry system, unlike the Great Xia Kingdom, which is a six-ministry cabinet system, as for the good and bad systems of the two sides, it does not matter for the time being.

The accompanying Great Yan guards are all the forbidden army of Yan State, and the commander is Baiyun Mountain, and the information says that it is the realm of 100 people of Wupin, but it does not say who he is.

The Yan Emperor of the Great Yan Kingdom is dying, although the crown prince is established, but the prince is mediocre, so there are many voices hoping that Princess Linglong will inherit the unification, so the court of the Great Yan Kingdom is divided into three parts, supporting the prince, supporting Princess Linglong, and maintaining neutrality.

The Great Xia Kingdom has just begun to stand in line, and the Great Yan Kingdom is already fighting fiercely. Prince Yan and Princess Linglong are half-siblings, and the so-called blood kinship in front of the throne has no binding effect.

After being familiar with the information of the envoys of the Great Yan Kingdom, Father-in-law Wei of Dongchang has also collected a lot of valuable news after these days of investigation!

The Great Qi and the Great Zhao Kingdom respectively sent assassins, of which the Great Qi State sent about five people, all of whom were fourth-rank martial artists. And the Great Zhao State sent more than ten people, and the highest cultivation was the five-rank martial artist, and it was Cao Lu, the famous assassination king of the Great Zhao State.

After Dongchang first got the news, he was shocked, after all, this Cao Lu of the Wupin Realm was a famous assassination king, and there were countless powerful people who died in his hands, in case there was any trouble in the capital.

Therefore, all the East Factory went out to investigate the capital, but nothing was found.

After all, in such a large capital, it is indeed not easy to find more than a dozen masters who have the intention to hide.

Therefore, this time, not only do you have to face Dayan Shichen, but also the assassin master in the dark, and the slightest carelessness will lead to tragic consequences, and this fate is not something that Xiao Rui can bear now, and even before the position of the prince is contested, he will lose all the games.

Jia Xu, who was beside Xiao Rui, also knew the seriousness of the situation and was ready to follow left and right and participate in the whole process of the meeting.

At the same time, they pinned their hopes on Dongchang, hoping that they could catch the assassin before the Great Yan envoys arrived in the capital.

But it's a pity that Xiao Rui has extravagant hopes.

On this day, the envoy of Dayan had arrived fifteen miles away from the south of the city, and Xiao Rui changed into a three-clawed golden dragon prince suit, and behind him were the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, Langzhong of the Ministry of Rites and other officials, under the escort of the three hundred forbidden troops, and went out of the city to greet them to show respect.

The eldest prince Xiao Lie did not participate, after all, he was the deputy envoy, and he went to set off Xiao Rui, the main envoy, and he couldn't afford to lose this person.

The welcoming procession was mighty, and finally met with the envoy of Dayan.

According to the process, the Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple of the Great Xia Kingdom stepped forward immediately, stopped in front of the Great Yan envoy team, bowed his hand, and shouted: "This official is the Shaoqing An Beishan of the Honglu Temple of the Great Xia Kingdom, and on the order of the Emperor of Great Xia and His Royal Highness the Seventh King of Great Xia, I am here to welcome the Great Yan Mission!"

The voice is loud, neither humble nor arrogant, full of the majesty of a great power.

On the side of the Great Yan Kingdom, one person walked out of the carriage, came to the front of the team, bowed back to An Beishan, and then bowed to Xiao Rui's carriage, and said in a heroic voice: "This official is Lan Junbo, the left scattered cavalry squire of the lower province of the Great Yan Kingdom, and on the order of the Yan Emperor of the Great Yan Kingdom, I accompanied Princess Linglong to meet with your country on important matters." Today, there is a national letter presented, please read it in person by Emperor Xia. I wish the friendship between the two countries will last forever and go hand in hand. ”

An Beishan stepped forward, took the national letter handed over by Lan Junbo, and then returned to the team and presented it to Xiao Rui.

Xiao Rui sat in the carriage, and Jia Xu took the credentials for him.

Picking up this Huang Mingjuan shaft of the national letter, Xiao Rui got up and walked out of the carriage, and walked to the front, looked at the carriage of Princess Linglong in the team, and said with a smile: "This king is ordered by Emperor Xia to welcome Princess Linglong!" The princess has worked hard to come here, tired from the boat, and please go into the city to rest! ”

Xiao Rui personally came out to greet him, giving enough face, according to etiquette, Princess Linglong also came out after the female official lifted the curtain.

It's just that what Xiao Rui didn't expect was that Princess Linglong was dressed in men's clothes, and she was a beautiful man, so she must be a beauty when she changed into women's clothes.

However, Xiao Rui has been baptized by the beauty of Zhang Ruoxi, Zhuge Liuying and Li Ruoxue, so I don't think this Linglong princess is beautiful, at most ninety points, to be honest, she is not as beautiful as the female officials around her, Xiao Rui gave her ninety-eight points.

"The King of Troubled Xian personally greeted him, and he deeply felt the warmth of your country!" Princess Linglong replied.

Xiao Rui nodded and said, "Your Royal Highness the princess, the boat and car must be tired, please let this king take someone to escort the princess to the other courtyard to rest."

Princess Linglong nodded in agreement, and then returned to the carriage, while Xiao Rui also returned to the carriage, waved his hand gently, and the forbidden army dispersed on both sides and began to escort the Dayan delegation into Beijing.

Entered the capital, walked on the Suzaku Street more than ten zhang wide, the mighty and majestic posture, the pedestrian flow of people in the past was crowded, standing on both sides, pointing and talking about it.

In the carriage, Yan Linglong, who was dressed as a man, observed the prosperity of the capital of Daxia through the tulle, and couldn't help but praise: "It is worthy of being the capital of Daxia, full of flowers and prosperous people."

There was only the extremely beautiful female official beside her, and she only heard her say: "Great Xia is the strongest of the four eastern kingdoms in the land of China, and it can be seen now. Emperor Xia worked hard, if it weren't for the mediocrity of Emperor Xiaowen back then, which caused the change of throne to be unstable and chaotic for several years, with Emperor Xia's means, he would have destroyed Da Zhao long ago. It will even become one of the most powerful countries on this continent! ”

"Is Emperor Xia really that strong?" Princess Linglong couldn't help but ask.

The female official nodded: "Among the seven kingdoms of the Huaxia Continent, it is recognized that Great Qin is the strongest, but the current Qin Emperor has accepted Yu Ze, the master of the previous generations, and coupled with the intentions of the Qin Emperor, it has made Great Qin strong." But his methods are not as good as Emperor Xia! As for the Great Wei Kingdom and the Great Yuan Kingdom, which are not equal, it is said that it is slightly stronger than Great Xia, but it is just an illusion that the world is affected by the contrast between the backwardness of the Great Xia Kingdom thirty years ago and the prosperity of today. ”

Princess Linglong continued: "I heard that Emperor Xia has issued an order to start selecting the crown prince, and the nine princes all covet the position of the crown prince, once they compete for it, they will definitely fall into chaos!"

The female official shook her head and said, "No, I think this is the genius of Emperor Xia!"

"Why?" Princess Linglong wondered.

The female official said with a smile: "Emperor Xia knows very well that the prince's seizure of the throne will cause hundreds of civil and military officials to stand in line and compete with each other to make national affairs unstable, which is a big taboo!" Therefore, Emperor Xia strictly forbade the prince to win over hundreds of officials, ensuring that the government has been in power for more than ten years, such as the unanimous order prohibitions, upward and downward effects! Otherwise, how could Great Xia be so prosperous? And now, Emperor Xia has chosen the crown prince and let go of the constraints on the prince, one is to look at the performance of the prince, select the great talent to inherit the unification, and the other is to grasp the overall situation, so that the already ossified court will pour into the power. The third is to take the opportunity to clear the unstable factors in the imperial court, and maybe the fourth and fifth points, all in all, Emperor Xia's means are very clever! After all, looking at the Seven Kingdoms, which emperor can really prohibit the prince from forming a party for personal gain? ”

After hearing this, Princess Linglong agreed very much and said, "Emperor Xia is really unfathomable! I don't know if the nine sons below are also dragons among people? According to the information, this time the Great Xia is making the seventh prince Xianwang Xiao Rui, who used to be the weakest, but he didn't expect to soar into the sky in just a few months, and now he has won the throne, which is not easy to think about. ”

The female official said: "It's not simple, it's certain, this King Xian is very wise and eloquent, I heard that Emperor Xia also gave him the right to make direct decisions at the meeting between the two countries, and the success or failure of the next alliance depends on his attitude."

Princess Linglong nodded, and the two glanced at each other, and the carriage fell into peace.

Seeing that the team was about to arrive at the reception hospital, Xiao Rui, who was pretending to be asleep, was awakened by a sudden system prompt.
