Chapter Eighty-Four: The Peace Mission
Tuqiao Village was slaughtered overnight, and all the survivors were forcibly moved to live in Fengzhou. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The entire Yun Kingdom was unanimously silent about it, and few people knew about it, and no one was willing to mention it.
With the rebellion of Yang Li, the special controller, to join the wolf barbarian tribe, the morale of the entire country fell to the bottom, and some plans that were originally implemented under the auspices of the Ministry of War were once again shelved indefinitely.
On the contrary, it was proposed by Shao Yehua, a member of the Ministry of Rites, and Lord Ding decided to send an envoy to the Blood-Devouring Tribe.
The purpose of the mission was twofold.
The first is to ask the tribal leader to let the barbarian king order Yang Li to be returned to the Yun Kingdom for disposal.
The second is to send a large amount of money and jade silk to propose the renewal of the agreement, so as to prolong the apparent state of peace between the two sides as much as possible.
And after Yang Li returned to the tribe, he also knew some basic information based on this period of inquiry.
There are a total of three barbarians in the blood-devouring tribe, named Wang Ba, Zhou Tian, and Niu Zhen, each of whom is in charge of the three areas around the territory, among which the one near the border of Cangzhou is Wang Ba.
The barbarian king's name is Devouring Dragon, and this time, in order to welcome the envoy from the Cloud Kingdom, he specially came out of the core area of the tribe and came to the territory of the king.
However, the devouring dragon did not go to the royal court, but took the personal guard army and built a temporary palace in a random place on the grassland. At the same time, he sent an order to Wang Ba, asking him to bring Yang Li to meet him in person.
"Brother Yang, the barbarian king asked you to come over by name, wouldn't he want to agree to the request of the Yunguo delegation and hand you over?"
Zhou Qingxue was also in the team at this time, and asked in a worried whisper.
In order to cooperate with Yang Li's statement and make outsiders feel the intimate relationship between the two, she has taken the initiative to change her title to Brother Yang.
"How is this possible, a weak country has no diplomacy, and this request of the Cloud Country, the Blood-Devouring Tribe will not pay attention to it at all. ”
Hearing Yang Li's answer, Zhou Qingxue nodded, feeling a little relieved.
In fact, she also guessed that this would be the result, but she just wanted to take this opportunity to express her concern for Yang Li, and second, to confirm her guess.
After a few moments, the procession, led by Wang Ba, came to a temporary palace.
Although the Dragon Eater was a barbarian king, the palace was very poorly built, and it only looked larger and wider than an ordinary felt tent.
There weren't so many red tape rules in the tribe, and after a little check that they didn't carry weapons, Yang Li and Wang Ba were allowed to enter the big tent in the middle, and then they were received by the barbarian king Devouring Dragon.
Because Zhou Qingxue is a female dependent, she is arranged to rest in other felt tents.
After entering, Yang Li hurriedly glanced at it and found that the entire body of the devouring dragon was gray-black, which looked extremely strong and powerful.
There were six or seven young men standing behind him, who looked somewhat similar to him, and each had a small single horn on his forehead, all of whom were supposed to be the sons of the barbarian generals.
"Yang Li, the last time you led the team to Cangzhou, this king has already heard a detailed report, and he is very satisfied with your performance. I just don't know what you have and plan to do next?"
"If I ask you to lead troops to attack the Cloud Kingdom, will you be able to do it again?"
Seeing Yang Li come in, the devouring dragon asked directly very boldly, and there was no mention of the killed devouring lie in his words.
"I thought that with what happened before, it was enough to show my sincerity, why is the king still so entangled?
"Yunguo and I have a deep hatred like the sea, I can't wait to kill them all, where can I not do it?"
Yang Li's tone was firm.
He knew that if he said that he sincerely defected to the Blooddevouring Tribe, it would sound very fake, so he insisted that it was for revenge, which made it easier for people to believe.
"Very good! Since you can think so, this king will not let you down, bring the Yunguo delegation in!"
The devouring dragon seemed to be very happy, and as soon as he beckoned, two wolf barbarian soldiers covered in armor hurriedly walked out, and they should have informed the envoys of the Cloud Kingdom who were waiting outside.
The materials of the wolf barbarian tribe are far less scarce than those of the human race, and those who can wear the armor are all high-status personal soldiers.
A moment later.
"Shao Yehua, a member of the Yun State Rite Department, has seen the barbarian king of the blood-devouring tribe, and at the same time, on behalf of the Yun Kingdom, I wish the two sides a long friendship and eternal peace. This time he sent an envoy to your tribe, and the contemptible people led the team to send some gifts, and asked the barbarian king to smile at a little heart. ”
After Shao Yehua finished speaking, he took two steps forward, holding a bright red and gilded gift book in both hands, and bent down to present it.
"Well, let the king see. ”
The dragon devouring did not let the entourage pick it up, but directly stretched out his right hand and grabbed it in the air.
This time, not only Shao Yehua, but even Yang Li's eyes widened, as if he had seen something incredible. Because of the act of devouring the dragon, it was like the "dragon capture skill" in a martial arts novel, and he directly grabbed the gift book in his hand out of thin air.
"Grabbing objects in the void and hurting people in the air, this is the ability of a strong man at the level of a handsome person?"
Yang Li thought that these were just exaggerated legends, but he didn't expect that today he would be able to see it and personally witness this seemingly illegal physical law happen.
Of course, now is not the time to dwell on this.
Since the elemental world can even exist such a mysterious thing as shadowlessness, it must be one of the undiscovered powers, and when you have time and energy in the future, you can study it again when you have the right opportunity.
"One thousand taels of gold, two hundred thousand taels of silver, one thousand swords of fine iron, and five hundred sets of armor. ”
The barbarian king glanced at the book of rites and read out the most important parts of it.
The tax that Cangzhou can collect in a year is only 70,000 or 80,000 taels of silver, and this time the mission will send 200,000 taels, which is really not a small amount. And it's just gold and silver treasures, and even weapons and armor are sent, isn't this a salary to fight fires?
Yang Li was very unimpressed in his heart, but on the surface, he was still calm, and it seemed that the things in front of him had nothing to do with him.
Shao Yehua was the official of the Ministry of Rites who presided over the review in Cangzhou University Hall last time, and after seeing Yang Li at this time, he immediately recognized it, and his face suddenly showed disdain, and he looked like he was gritting his teeth.
And just when he was thinking about how to persuade the barbarian king to get Yang Li in his hands, the other party directly threw the gift book to the ground, and then said quite dissatisfied: "You want to send us away with this little thing, thinking that the blood-devouring tribe is called Huazi?"
"The king's wrath!"
"If the king thinks that these gifts are less, I will return to Yunguo to report, and try to let the court send more next time!"
"It's just an agreement between the two parties, no matter what, please renew it for some time first......
In a hurry, Shao Yehua, a dignified five-grade official, actually knelt directly on the ground.
This time it was done, he had a real credit, and then the addition of an official to the knighthood was just around the corner, but if it failed, I am afraid that he would have to carry this black cauldron alone, and from then on he would have to live in the Qingshui Yamen for a lifetime.
