Feng Yan learned that the new envoy was personally recommended by Li Yannian, and thought that even if he was trying to reconcile Li Yannian's friendship with Princess Wu, this envoy should not refuse to send troops to support. It's just that people's hearts are unpredictable, and if this person has other intentions, or is instructed by someone with ulterior motives, it is difficult to say.

Before coming to Dawan to ask to see the envoy, Feng Yan deliberately found several Han officials who were more familiar with him and tested what kind of person the envoy was in their minds.

These Han officials have all followed Lord Wei, and they are also very familiar with the process of Princess Xie Wu to quell the civil strife in Dawan, and they feel very cordial when they see Feng Yan, and immediately invite her to the mansion for dinner.

"This new envoy sent by the imperial court, don't look at his young age, how capable he is! He just came to Dawan, he won the trust of the king, entered the palace several times, and most of the royal family are familiar with it, to say that he is not righteous enough, he is simply more than Lord Wei has the means, no wonder the court sent him! An elderly Han official gave a thumbs up.

"Knowing how to figure out the holy will has always been the greatest ability in officialdom, and people can mix in the position of envoys at such a young age, so it is conceivable that they must have outstanding strengths over others. However, his ability as a person is not only that, he can also get along with his subordinates quickly and make people obey him, I think this is his greatest ability. Another middle-aged Han official with hanging eyes said.

"It is also said that some time ago, the border of Dawan was harassed by the horse bandits of the Huns, and the people were miserable. He felt that if he launched a national army to deal with a few horse bandits, he would inevitably seem to be timid and afraid of things and not enough of the king's courage. So His Majesty came to discuss with the envoy, hoping that he could come up with a way to get the best of both worlds, which could not only maintain the face of the Dawan royal family, but also rescue the people. Another young Han official raised his glass to Feng Yan, and his words were full of admiration for the envoy.

"Guess what, the envoy, immediately led a small group of men and horses to the border, disguised as a passing caravan, and arranged the carriage and retinue brightly, looking like a rich man, leading those horse bandits to rob. As expected, the horse bandits are all brave and unscrupulous guys, and they can't take care of a lot when they see that there is oil and water to fish, and they don't want to think about it, all the caravans doing business in the Western Regions, who don't know that there are horse bandits who are making trouble, who dares to brag about how much money they have, and only if their wealth is not exposed, can they live for a long time! ”

"The horse bandits were fooled, and the envoy gave an order, and those well-trained Dawan masters cleaned up those guys with three strokes and five divisions. Dead dead, wounded wounded, that's really relieving! However, one of the seriously injured bandits took advantage of the chaos to escape, and the envoy lost his temper and blamed his subordinates for not doing well, so he sent a report to various places to arrest the fleeing bandits, as long as they were caught and killed. But it's strange to say, this guy seems to have disappeared out of thin air, no matter how you look for it, you can't find it, it stands to reason that you can't escape far if you are seriously injured, and there are still a lot of knife wounds on your body, how can ordinary people see the reason not to report the case. ”

Feng Yan knew what happened to Liu Ye and others in the Xiongnu realm, and he had also heard of the horse bandit who escaped by luck and then ran rampant, and with a little association, it could be explained.

"The envoy should not leave a calamity, if this person can be eradicated in the first place, maybe no one will die in vain in the future."

The young Han official heard what was in the words, and hurriedly said, "Could it be that this guy has fled to Wusun?" Even continue to plague innocent people on the ground? ”

Feng Yan hurriedly changed the topic: "I just think that if this person is not dead, he may not be able to reform himself, and I am afraid that he will still endanger the people." ”

"Oh, we also have this kind of worry, but there is no way, everyone has fled, and Dawan has sent people from all over the country to search for him, but he can't be found. I think it's more likely that the body will be exposed to the wilderness if he is seriously injured! In this way, the envoy will not blame himself. ”

"It seems that this envoy is very strict with himself, and he must be a very responsible person." Feng Yan said tentatively, "The imperial court sent him not only to consolidate the power of the Great Han in Dawan, but also to take into account the safety of the entire Western Regions!" ”

The elder Han official nodded: "We have all heard that the Xiongnu harassed the Wusun border, and King Weng Guimi personally led the troops to fight, which shows that the battle situation is indeed urgent enough." and General Chang is also dealing with the enemy day and night, and he is extremely tired. The princess must be worried, that's why she sent you to the envoy! ”

"Exactly, the princess wrote a letter asking for help to the envoy a few days ago, but she has not received a reply for a long time." Speaking of which, Feng Yan didn't plan to beat around the bush, "I don't know what the envoy really thinks, so I have to ask you for advice." ”

"Maybe it's taking into account Dawan's aspect, Mrs. Chang, you also know that King Dawan is not the material for governing the country at all, there are more people in the royal family who want to oppose him, and even the general who holds the military power is only willing to give the envoy a little face. If the envoy sends troops to support at such a time, lest Dawan will set off civil strife again, and when the time comes, it will be more than worth the loss to keep Wusun and lose Dawan. ”

"You can't say that." The middle-aged Han official retorted, "Although Dawan's country is not peaceful, there are always people who question the king's ability, but Dawan is now ruled by the Han Dynasty, and whoever dares to have a different heart is an enemy of the Han Dynasty." Even if the envoy sent troops to denounce the Xiongnu at this time, he would not have any worries. What do you think, the Xiongnu were defeated by Wusun and the Han Dynasty, and the entire Western Regions is in the Han's bag, compared to the national strength of Wusun and Dawan, Wusun is several times stronger, if there is civil strife in Dawan, Wusun will definitely come to help the Han crusade, these royal families are not convinced, but they are not fools, and no one wants to do the business of risking their lives. ”

The young Han official agreed: "Yes, I'm not worried that Dawan will have civil strife, the envoy has not heard back for a long time, he should be thinking about a crusade plan, since he has decided to send troops, he must win in one fell swoop, otherwise for Dahan and Wusun, it will really be endless troubles." As far as I know, the envoy is thoughtful, once he makes a decision, he must do his best, he did not reply to the princess, but he has not thought of the best way to control the enemy, you don't have to worry, as a Han envoy, how can you not help the princess. ”

"yes, yes, we're really worried." The elder Han official reassured Feng Yan, "Mrs. Chang, you can rest assured, we are also Han Chinese, of course we will help our own people, we will go to report to the envoy and arrange for you to meet and discuss the plan to defeat the enemy." ”

The middle-aged Han official nodded, and then reminded: "By the way, the envoy has outstanding ability, but there is an unspeakable secret, he has suffered from eye disease for a long time and wears a pair of eye patches all day long, don't be too surprised when you see him, so as not to violate his taboo." But don't think that he doesn't have a good eye in this way, but sees things more thoroughly than others. Otherwise, how could he get the trust and support of Lord Li and take on the heavy responsibility of the envoy of the Western Regions. ”

"Eye disease? Hum! The elder Han Guan suddenly sneered, "Do you really think he has an eye disease?" In my opinion, that's just a trick. You just think too simply, and you always think that I think too much, after all, I am much older than you, and I have walked more bridges than you have walked! ”

Feng Yan sensed that something was wrong and asked, "What do you mean by this?" The envoy has an eye disease, so why does he wear an eye patch all day long? ”

"Because he doesn't want people to see his appearance clearly, especially the ...... eyes," the elder Han official pointed to his eyes and gestured, "Wearing a blindfold, you can't see what kind of eyes he has, and you can cover half of his face, and some people believe that he is Han." I've lived in the Western Regions for many years, and I know that he's a native of the Western Regions by looking at his frame......"

The young Han official shook his head and interrupted him impatiently: "Here you go again, why do you always doubt the identity of the envoy?" If he was not a Han Chinese, how could he hold an important position to envoy to the Western Regions? Could it be that the Han court will send a spy? ”

The middle-aged Han official smiled calmly and persuaded: "Okay, you don't need to argue, it doesn't matter whether the envoy is a Han or a native of the Western Regions, the important thing is whether he is qualified to sit in this position." What about the people of the Western Regions? The people of the Western Regions with outstanding abilities are more suitable for this identity than the Han people, they know the situation in the Western Regions well, and they are willing to serve the Han Dynasty, and the court can't ask for it! ”

"Actually, even if he is from the Western Regions, it is nothing, as long as he has the ability to do a good job as an envoy, but the biggest hidden danger in the Western Regions is the Huns, what if he is a Huns?" The old man spread his hands and sighed worriedly.

"You're still afraid that he is a spy of the Huns! Hehe, you're really worried, do you think Master Li can be easily deceived by him? Impossible, over the years, there have been countless tribes wiped out by the Xiongnu, and these people in the Western Regions regard the Xiongnu as enemies, and they can't wait for the Xiongnu to perish as soon as possible, and it is reasonable to be willing to be loyal to the Han. ”

"Then why does he wear an eye patch all day long, for fear that others will recognize him as a native of the Western Regions?" The old Han official was still a little unconvinced.

"As you said, it's just a trick, we mixed officialdom naturally understand the intention of the saint, but it is difficult for ordinary soldiers and ordinary people to understand. They think that only Han people are qualified to be Han officials, and if they are replaced by people from the Western Regions, they can't figure it out. ”

The young Han official looked at the older Han official and smiled meaningfully: "It's hard for even people in the officialdom to figure it out, let alone ordinary people!" ”

Everyone was silent, Feng Yan already had a rough idea in his heart, and said: "Then please report it for me, and ask the special envoy to give a reply as soon as possible." ”

"Okay, we're on it." Several Han officials hurriedly responded.

An hour later, they brought the latest news, and it should be good news to see that their expressions are more relaxed.

"In order to show his sincerity, the envoy has decided to go back to Wusun with you to see the princess." The young Han official breathed a sigh of relief, "What's the matter, I'll just say that the envoy won't embarrass you." ”

"Then he agreed to send troops?" Feng Yan was also infected with his pleasure and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Obviously, wouldn't it be better for them to consult in person!" The young Han official said with a smile.

The middle-aged Han official also said: "Mrs. Chang, the envoy has prepared the carriage and is waiting at the city gate." ”

"So fast?" Feng Yan looked up at the sky, "It's late now, and it's probably late at night when I rush back to Wusun." ”

"It's a while to be early, presumably the princess will be able to sleep peacefully when she sees the envoy." The elder Han official still had reservations, "We will wait for the instructions of the envoy to mobilize the Han army and be ready to set off at any time." I hope this envoy can help the princess. ”

"Yes, definitely." The young Han official was very optimistic, "I believe that this time the envoy will be able to help the princess, fight a beautiful battle for Wusun, and beat the Xiongnu to the point that they can no longer turn over." ”

Feng Yan thanked the Han officials, hurried to the city gate to meet the envoy, and saw the convoy of the Han from a distance, but did not see the figure of the envoy. I saw that the guard of a famous man greeted her, ran to the carriage and replied, and the convoy slowly drove towards Wusun.

The whereabouts of this envoy are really secret, but his identity is really not fake, whether he is from the Han or the Western Regions, he is an envoy appointed by the Han court. Although he refused to meet her, as long as he was willing to meet the princess, he could feel at ease. Perhaps, as several Han officials said, he always had some scruples that he was from the Western Regions, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble, so he avoided meeting with unimportant people, so as not to cause unnecessary speculation.

It was late at night when she arrived at the Wusun Grassland, Feng Yan went to ask to see Liu Ye, but when she saw that she had fallen asleep on the desk, she put on a cotton coat for her, blew out the light, and told the two guards outside the tent to be on duty all night, and when the queen woke up, she would inform the Han envoy to ask for a meeting.

Feng Yan knew that Liu Ye had not rested for several days and nights, and she was worried that her body would not be able to stand it if she continued like this, and seeing that she was extremely tired and fell asleep, she couldn't bear to wake her up again. I had to tell the envoy to arrange a meeting between them later.

"Your Excellency, the princess has already rested, is it okay to wait for her to wake up and discuss it?" Feng Yan came to the front of the carriage and respectfully asked for his opinion.

"Absolutely." The Chinese voice from the car sounded fluent, and it was impossible to suspect that he might be from the Western Regions.

Feng Yan put her mind at ease: "Please ask the envoy to get out of the car and rest!" ”

Wusun's guards and maids stood on both sides of the carriage and waited, and when the curtain was lifted, Feng Yan finally saw the mysterious envoy. He wears a big Han official hat, a huge eye patch on his face, a fair complexion and outstanding outline, and then looks at his tall and strong figure, wearing a loose Han-style gown, which looks particularly chic and handsome.

Feng Yan could see that he was still very young, and he could be regarded as a beautiful man just by revealing half of his face, but she could also tell that he was not Han, but a real from the Western Regions. However, whether it is a Han person or a person from the Western Regions, as long as he is an envoy who can help Liu Ye.

In order not to make him feel uncomfortable, Feng Yan glanced at it and then lowered his head, waiting for him to return to the yurt to rest before leaving. The envoy walked past her, his steps were very light, like a person who had practiced martial arts, and when he walked by, Feng Yan raised his eyes and looked at his back, and suddenly felt a little strange, as if he was familiar.

Feng Yan shook her head, thinking that she must be overly worried, thinking that he would have bad intentions if he was from the Western Regions, in fact, even if he is also from the Western Regions, he may not be united with one heart, Weng Guimi, Tu Qitang and Qing Ling are all from the Western Regions, but they are very good to Liu Ye, and she can't be prejudiced against the people of the Western Regions.

The envoy walked away with his entourage, Feng Yan turned around and walked towards his residence, glanced at the carriage, and couldn't help but want to see what was going on, so he talked to the coachman and looked at the car carefully. When the coachman lifted the curtain to clean, Feng Yan smelled a faint fragrance, and when she got closer, the smell became clearer, it was the smell of herbs mixed with flowers.

Qingling likes to fiddle with things like sachets, Feng Yan is no stranger to this, she also knows that medicinal gourds and poisonous scorpions are very good at these flowers and plants, those are poisonous, those are beneficial, they can be clearly distinguished, usually the more beautiful and fragrant flowers and plants are more toxic, so people have to guard against them.

Feng Yan looked back, feeling a little uneasy in her heart, was the envoy of the Great Han she brought back, a savior or a disaster?

The next day, Feng Yan went to see Liu Ye, searched everywhere but couldn't find her, and near noon, she received a letter from her. The letter wrote that she had met with the envoys of the Han Dynasty, reached a consensus to go to the Xiongnu together, rushed to the border overnight, and entrusted the old sage king to take charge of the national seal and manage the government on her behalf.

The person who came to deliver the letter was the guard next to the envoy of the Han Dynasty, and he also sent the Wusun national seal that Liu Ye was carrying.

"The princess handed over the national seal, let you send me this letter, there is nothing else to explain?" Feng Yan didn't believe that Liu Ye left so suddenly, and grabbed the guards and didn't let go.

"yes, that's it." The guards looked at Feng Yan inexplicably, trying to break free of her hand, "The envoy and the princess are not worried that King Wusun is fighting on the border, of course they have to go to support." ”

"What about them?" Feng Yan is not dead yet.

"Let's go, I left early in the morning, and the princess came to look for us last night, so we decided to go together." The guard slapped Feng Yan's hand away vigorously, and shook the official document in the other hand, "Didn't you understand it in the princess's letter, you asked me what I was doing, I still have to go back to Dawan and inform them to send troops!" ”

Feng Yan hurriedly let go, snatched the official document ordering the troops to send troops, read it again and again, and returned the official document to him while breathing a sigh of relief: "Okay, you can go quickly!" ”

The guard gave her a blank look, ran to the convoy with the official document, and set off in the direction of Dawan.

Feng Yan's mind was in a mess, and when she handed over the national seal to the old sage king, she passed by Liu Ye's yurt, saw the two guards chatting, and stepped forward to ask, "Did the queen go to see the envoy of the Han Dynasty last night?" Or did he come to see the queen? ”

The two guards looked at each other and scratched their heads in embarrassment: "Mrs. Chang, I'm really sorry, I think we all fell asleep, I was so tired last night that I couldn't remember anything, and when I woke up, I found that I was still standing......"

Feng Yan couldn't ask why, opened Liu Ye's special scroll, and looked at it from left to right, from bottom to top, turning it over and over. If Liu Ye left at night and had other secrets, would he tell her through letters!
