Chapter 8 The Foreigners Seek to See Each Other
Just as the two were talking, an attendant outside the door reported: "Your Highness, General Xiao Pojun of Snow Mountain City asked someone to send three strange foreigners, who have something important to follow you and want to see you." ”
Charles was stunned at first when he heard this, this Xiao Pojun naturally knew about it, and he was one of the best generals in the Zhenyuan army. Xu Heming was also surprised, this Xiao Pojun was a general he personally raised, he was very loyal, and he had an almost crazy worship for Emperor Longwu. It's just that this person is very low-key on weekdays, and he rarely does other things related to military affairs.
Seeing Xu Heming nodding, Charles smiled slightly, and then said to the attendants outside the door: "Let them wait in the hall, and the king will arrive later." The words fell, and when the attendants left, Charles's eyes fell on Xu Heming's body again, and he changed his words and asked: "Don't hide it from you, General, the place outside that huge snow-capped mountain is very unfamiliar to me." Foreign tribes talk about it, and the general thinks it will be other races after the snow mountain? If anything, shouldn't it be now? ”
Xu Heming smiled slightly when he heard this: "The prince doesn't need to worry too much, and foreigners have nothing to fear." Have you forgotten? At that time, Bing Ao Guo was also a foreign race in the eyes of the Great Qian Empire, and in turn, Da Qian was also a foreign race to the people of Bing Ao Country. It doesn't matter if it's a foreigner or not, if it has no malice towards Daqian, then everything is fine, if it is malicious, kill it. ”
Listening to Xu Heming's words, Charles smiled and nodded, although his level was one level higher than the military general in front of him, but Charles knew very well that this military general had followed Li Yunqing for many years and was Li Yunqing's very important subordinate, so he would not treat Xu Heming as a subordinate, but more as his colleague, and discuss things together.
The two came to the palace hall together, and Wang Wei had been waiting for a long time with Kun You and the martial arts brothers. When he saw the tall and fearful figures of Kunyou and the others, Xu Heming's eyes couldn't help narrowing, and Charles was also surprised. To tell the truth, the people of Bingao Old Land are a little tall compared to the people of Daqian, but now that he has seen the three of Kunyou, he knows what it means to be tall.
Wang Wei didn't expect Xu Heming to be here, his body couldn't help but shake, and he quickly knelt down on one knee and said respectfully: "The last general Wang Wei has seen the general and the king of Zhenyuan. "Xu Heming's prestige in the Zhenyuan army is very high, and everyone knows that he is a general trained by the emperor himself.
Charles's eyes fell on Wang Wei's body, and he asked lightly: "King Gu asked you, what are these three people doing here?" ”
Wang Wei hurriedly said respectfully: "Back to the prince's words, they actually arrived in Snow Mountain City a few months ago. Due to the language barrier at that time, General Xiao asked them to learn our Daqian culture, and only knew the other party's intention two months ago. In the end, the generals are bold, let them do the details by themselves, and you will definitely understand their intentions. ”
Charles nodded when he heard this, only to see Kun You take a step forward and bow to Charles, and said, "Your Excellency Prince Zhenyuan, I am from the Boulder Empire on the Beiming Continent, and I accidentally discovered the existence of this continent. With a sense of adventure, we went through many difficulties and finally arrived at the Great Qian Empire, which is said to be the most powerful and almost the only empire on the continent. "If you count those vassals of Daqian into the territory of Daqian, Daqian is indeed the only empire on this continent.
Seeing that the other party was quite kind, Charles showed a smile on his face, and then asked: "My Great Qian Emperor and my Great Qian Empire are tolerant of all rivers, and we naturally welcome foreign friends. What the Lone King wants to know now is what is the purpose of your coming to Daqian? Is it just curiosity to come to this unknown place, or is there something more important? ”
Hearing this, Kun You bowed to Charles again, and said with a little respect: "I am the grandson of the king of the Great Stone Empire, and this time I came with my grandfather's permission. Grandpa also believed that there were continents other than the Beiming Continent, so he would agree to let me take the risk, and Grandpa told me that if I really found other continents or countries on the continent, I must establish friendly relations between countries. For example, trade between our two continents can be carried out, which I believe will be of great benefit to both of our countries. ”
When Charles heard this, his eyes flashed, and he smiled slightly: "It turns out that His Royal Highness the Prince has arrived, and that is really the honor of this king." His Royal Highness's affairs may sound like a great benefit to both countries, but as you said, our two countries are not on the same continent, which is a great obstacle to the flow of trade. What's more, this matter is very important, and this king cannot make the decision, so this king needs to report this matter to His Majesty Emperor Daqian. Due to the long distance, it takes more than a month to come and go, I wonder if His Royal Highness the Prince is willing to wait so long? Charles's smile was somewhat playful, and he was not very optimistic about Kun You's visit this time, especially the purpose of his coming to Daqian, which was not easy to achieve in Charles's opinion.
Although Charles has not been with Li Yunqing for a long time, he thinks he still has some understanding of Li Yunqing. As an emperor, ambition thinks that it is a necessary thing, but if an emperor's ambition has been greatly satisfied, he is not willing to do things that he is not sure of in a short period of time, and he believes that Li Yunqing is like this now. Li Yunqing, as the third emperor of the Great Qian Empire, can have developed the empire to an unprecedented and powerful point, and now the Great Qian can be the product of the combination of the three great empires, the territory is unprecedentedly strong, and the national strength is unprecedentedly strong.
Charles thought that he would hesitate and even dismiss the idea of trade between the two countries. But what I didn't expect was that Kun You, who was silent for a moment, said to Charles: "Your Royal Highness, Dear Prince, if I can ask to go to the imperial capital of Daqian and meet the emperor of your country in person, even if I can't complete the task assigned by my grandfather, I also want to see the demeanor of Emperor Daqian!" ”
Charles really didn't expect Kun You to make such a request, and he was silent for a moment and glanced at Xu Heming. Xu Heming smiled slightly and said, "The prince agreed to them, I don't think these three are evildoers." Besides, the imperial capital is a city of sons, even if these three are different in size, they can't set off any big waves. Didn't you just quit too? I am still afraid of three foreign people? "Xu Heming attaches great importance to the glory of Daqian.
Charles nodded after listening to Xu Heming's words, turned to Kun You and said, "Okay, since you want to see my eldest son, this king will let someone send you there." There is no limit to what you want to do on the way, and all expenses will be counted on the king's head. "The only prince of this great cadre, he is also a rich master, and Li Yunqing, who is thirty percent of the taxes paid in the old land of Bingao, allows him to stay, and it will be the same for twenty years, in order to lay a good foundation for Bingao, and then there can be better development.
