Chapter 133: A Strange Tacit Understanding

"Yuanba, let the messenger enter the city. ”

Sima Yi shouted.

"Open the gates!"

Li Yuanba shouted.

"Squeak. ”

The gates of the city were wide open, and soldiers came out of the ranks, swords and guns, shouting in unison: "Messengers, please enter the city." ”

"Let's go inside. ”

Li Yuanba glanced at the eldest prince and the others, and shouted, but the orc envoys did not dare to make a move.

Li Yuanba stood at the gate of the city with a pair of hammers, who dared to walk over?

Don't dare!

If this madman has something wrong and smashes it down with a hammer, it will be a life!

Li Yuanba also knew that this group of people was afraid of him, so he couldn't help but sneer, turned around and walked into the city.

It wasn't until Li Yuanba disappeared that the orc envoys dared to enter the city.

Sima Yi personally walked down the city tower to greet him, and smiled at the orc prince: "I have heard for a long time that His Royal Highness is heroic and promising, and when I see it today, it is really extraordinary." ”

"Are all human beings so hypocritical?"

The Great Prince of the Orc said coldly: "You and I have never met, and I have not shown up at the moment, how do you know that I am heroic?"

Obviously, the Orc Great Prince was still holding his breath in his heart, he came from afar, and before he saw the Great Xia Emperor, he lost most of the members of the peace team.

It's so humiliating.

Even if the orc prince has a good cultivation, he can't swallow this breath.

"Your Highness is very right. ”

Sima Yi smiled, he didn't care, arched his hand, and changed the topic: "Your Highness came all the way, you must be tired, the official has already arranged for someone to prepare accommodation and meals, please come with your highness." ”

"The corpse of Lone's entourage is still lying outside the city, how can you let Lone eat, how can you sleep peacefully?"

The orc prince's voice was hoarse and full of anger.

Sima Yi smiled and said, "Don't get in the way, this official knows the rules of the tribe, and he will send someone to collect the body and send it back to the orc empire." ”

Sima Yi has always been kind, as the saying goes, if you don't hit a smiling person, no matter how angry the orc prince is, it is not easy to show it, after all, this is someone's territory.

"Meals and accommodation are free of charge, Lone has already come, let your emperor come to see Lone." ”

The Great Prince of Orcs took a deep breath and said, "The matter of suing for peace is related to the border between the two countries, and it is extremely important, so it should not be neglected. ”

The entourage and soldiers behind Sima Yi couldn't help frowning when they heard the words of the orc prince.

What you said, why is it so uncomfortable?

You are a prince of a foreign race who is asking for peace, what qualifications do you have to ask the emperor to come to see you? It should be you who go to see our emperor!

Sima Yi's eyes flickered with a hint of gloom, and then he smiled and said: "Your Highness doesn't know, the emperor has been working hard and doing government affairs during the day, and now he is asleep, as a courtier, it is better to wait patiently, and the matter of seeking peace can be postponed." ”

Sima Yi's words were all hinting at the orc prince and listing him as the emperor's courtiers alongside himself.

The orc prince is counted as the emperor's courtier, so isn't the orc empire also a vassal of Great Xia?

The soldiers and their retinue shouted with joy in their hearts.

You can be sarcastic, but our military cabinet minister is not a vegetarian.

"Hmph, what a sharp-tongued man. ”

The Great Prince of Orcs snorted coldly and said, "Lead the way ahead." ”

"Good. ”

Sima Yi nodded and led the way ahead.

The group had their own thoughts, and they had cautious conversations and tests with each other along the way.

"Your Highness, stay here tonight. ”

Sima Yi took the orc prince to an old mansion in the city.

"You let our Royal Highness live in this kind of place?"

The orc guard couldn't help but speak, his face full of anger: "You are too presumptuous!"

Is this where people live?

There is only one courtyard and three thatched-roof "wing houses" in a dilapidated mud house, but there are still dozens of people who are seeking peace.

How can this live?

And the conditions here, no matter how you look at it, are not a place for princes and nobles to live.

"There are no other vacant mansions in the city, so His Highness can only be arranged here. ”

Sima Yi bowed his hand apologetically: "Please Your Highness Haihan." ”

"Hmm. ”

The Great Prince of Orcs nodded, but he could bear it, and without saying a word, he led the people into the courtyard, and ordered the guards to clean the small courtyard full of dust and cobwebs.

Sima Yi watched the orc prince walk into the courtyard, waited for a while, and then left.

Several teams of ascending platforms should be quietly close to the left and right of the courtyard, and a team of Great Xia Iron Army was firmly guarding around the courtyard.

It is both protection and supervision.

......

Half an hour later, the Imperial Palace, the Imperial Study.

"See the orc peace messenger?"

"Back to the emperor's words, I saw it. ”

"What do you think of this person?"

Su Chen took a sip of fragrant tea lightly and asked Sima Yi with a smile.

Sima Yi groaned slightly, and replied: "It's hard to say, this orc prince has a withdrawn personality, his hood covers his face, and his ministers are tempting in every way, but he doesn't mention anything related to peace. ”

He repeatedly stressed that he could not talk about peace until he met the emperor. ”

Sima Yi smiled bitterly, and after saluting respectfully, he asked, "Emperor, what should we do next?"

The envoy of peace has already entered the city, and a mysterious prince has come, no one can see through this guy, and even Sima Yi's temptation has not succeeded.

Take tonight's dismount as an example, if you are an ordinary peace envoy, you are already angry and can't be suppressed, but the orc prince can continue to endure.

Whether it was Sima Yi's soft knife treatment or Li Yuanba's strong suppression, he did not show the slightest flaw, nor did he mess up.

Su Chen smiled and said lightly: "No matter what the purpose of his coming to Great Xia is, it is all under the banner of seeking peace. ”

"Since it is a peace, then you have to set up your own identity. ”

Su Chen glanced at Sima Yi deeply: "In the past few days, I don't want to see this orc prince, you can look at the arrangements yourself." ”

"Wow. ”

Sima Yi bowed deeply, and then retired.

The emperor wanted to dry the orc prince for a few days to see what kind of path this guy was, after all, the beast king's move of sending the orc prince as a peace envoy was too abnormal.

......

Early the next morning, the news that the orc empire's peace envoy had entered the imperial capital spread throughout the imperial capital.

Whether it is a civil and military official, the family gate lords already know the news, and they have sent their subordinates to investigate.

Last night's Great Xia Iron Army dismounted, the appearance of the Shiwei Chieftain, Li Yuanba's deterrence, and Sima Yi's snub arrangement...... One after another, last night's events were dug up and known to everyone.

Some people were shocked by the strength of the Lion Guard Chief and Li Yuanba, and some people further speculated about the emperor's attitude towards the orc prince in the arrangement of Sima Yi's envoy for peace with the orcs.

For a while, public opinion and heat subsided after the establishment of the imperial capital Taixue, and everyone's eyes fell on the orc prince.

Compared with the establishment of the Imperial Taixue, the fact that the orc empire, which has always been strong, sent a peace envoy is more exciting, and it is more worthy of the attention of any class level of the Great Xia Dynasty.

The emperor in the palace did not issue an order to summon the orc prince, which made the people who had been waiting for the final result itching.

The orc prince who is in the center of national public opinion is not in a hurry, except for occasionally sending people to the Military Machine Pavilion to ask Sima Yi and meet the emperor, he has always lived in seclusion.

It's just that I heard that the orc prince often stands under the walls of the imperial capital, with his hood covering his face, looking up at the city wall, not knowing what he is doing.

Such a strange situation is incomprehensible.

It's as if there is a tacit understanding between the emperor and the orc prince, I don't summon you, and you are not in a hurry to do something.

You are your emperor and handle your government affairs.

I am my messenger and travel inside and outside the imperial capital.

It wasn't until half a month later that a holy decree came from the palace.
