Everyone entered the palace under the supervision of the forbidden army, and the soldiers were left in the side hall to wait, and only the members of the mission were allowed to enter, Biluo negotiated with the other party, and said that the necessary guards in the army must also follow and enter, and after some negotiations, finally Wang Yangming, Biluo, Gu Xifeng, Chen Baxian, Lu Fengxian and other five people accompanied the mission to enter the 30 people.

When everyone entered the palace, they saw that the civil and military officials on both sides were waiting, but the large seat at the top and the three small seats next to it were still empty. Wang Yangming looked at himself secretly, thinking that this big seat must be the king's, but these three small seats don't know what they do, could it be the prince's seat?

Everyone waited for half an hour, and when they saw that the king had not appeared for a long time, Wang Zhen had already been unable to hold it back, and he was about to have a seizure, Zhang Qian said lightly: "Don't worry. We are foreign missions, and it is understandable that this king wants to put on a show in front of us. ”

As soon as these words fell, a eunuch entered the hall, followed by an old man in his fifties, the old man was full of energy, red light, and had a majesty, Zhang Qian concluded in his heart that this person must be the king. The king was followed by three fairy-like figures, one of whom was fatter and the other two thinner. Sure enough, the king took his seat on the big seat in the middle, but the three men went and sat down on the three small chairs at the bottom. As soon as the king raised his hand, a person who looked like a Xia man came out, and this person said to the following delegation in Chinese: "The king has a decree, declare the Great Xia delegation to meet you." ”

Zhang Qian stepped forward, Biluo wanted to step forward to follow the interpreter, Zhang Qian waved his hand at her and said, "I don't need you to come." The guest is as the host is pleased, and the other party has an interpreter. He expected that the person who looked like the Xia people should be the Chinese interpreter used by the king, and presumably this person was also from the original from the Middle Plains, and he had been here for many years, and he had been with the king as an interpreter.

Zhang Qian walked to the three zhang in front of the emperor and stood still, and said steadily: "Emperor Hongwu of Great Xia, the special envoy of Sanpin Bowang Marquis Zhang Qian, is ordered by my lord to meet King Chechi. "Although he said that he would greet him, he did not kneel, but bowed deeply.

The king didn't pick his salute, but said a few words in Che Chi language, and listened to the translation: "My king has a life, and it is very hard for Marquis Zhang to come from afar, and my king is very happy to be able to meet the envoy of Xia Guo today." A pot of imperial wine and four dishes were specially given to the delegation to catch the wind. ”

Wang Yangming heard it clearly in the back, and muttered to Biluo: "This king is stingy, get a few dishes and send them to us." Wang Zhen heard his words and snorted lightly: "You kid, you have never seen the world. The lord of this country, how can he be stingy, it's just that he gives us something, we are not rare, I am rich in **** products, everything, and I have that little thing. So I had to give us some wine and food, which are all their local specialties, so that they are not ashamed, and we are not picky. ”

Wang Yangming's heart turned out to be so exquisite. Zhang Qian bowed again and thanked him, and said, "My lord, Emperor Hongwu, also has a gift for the king. At that moment, the music and dance students in their own mission stepped forward and put out a box, and Zhang Qian opened it, it was a jade Ruyi. When the king saw this, he was not surprised, and ordered the eunuch to take it. It turned out that the countries of the Western Regions were all big countries producing jade, and the jade of the Xia Dynasty was nothing unusual to them.

The king asked, "Marquis Zhang has come from thousands of miles away, and I don't know what state affairs are on my side?"

Zhang Qian wanted to contact Khorezm to attack the fifteen countries of the Western Regions together, how could I tell you. At the moment, he said: "My lord remembers that the customs and customs of the countries of the Western Regions are very kind, and his heart yearns for it, so he appoints me to lead an envoy through the countries and make friends with the kings of the countries. ”

The king nodded, and asked some more questions, and Zhang Qianju answered them fluently. Wang Yangming saw that Zhang Qian was calm and relaxed, and he dealt with him well, and his opinion of him couldn't help but be a little higher, and he said in his heart: Zhang Houye has always been known for his wisdom and eloquence, and he is a first-class figure in my Great Xia. It is really fitting that the emperor sent him to carry out this task.

When the king saw that everything that had to be said was said, he wanted to order the legation to withdraw. But suddenly the fat man under him stood up, went to the king's side, and said a few words. Wang Yangming has been secretly paying attention to these three people since they came in, and seeing their walking footwork, he has long concluded that they have martial arts, but the distance is too far for Tianyantong to see the clues, and he doesn't know how they cultivate.

The king nodded and asked, "I want to ask you, I heard that the Xia Dynasty practiced martial arts very well, and the great masters are also martial arts lovers, I wonder if there are any martial arts masters in the envoy's regiment?" He wants to see what the martial arts of the Xia Dynasty are like. ”

Zhang Qian wondered in his heart, he said in his heart that this fat man looked like he was only about thirty years old, and he didn't have any majesty, how could he feel that this emperor seemed to be obedient to this person. But since the emperor asked, he had to answer, so he had to say: "My Xia Dynasty has become a practice of martial arts, and there are many masters. This envoy was escorted by officers and soldiers in the army, and there were quite a few masters among them. ”

The king said, "Can you let them come forward and let the great master take a look?"

Zhang Qian turned around and beckoned to Wang Yangming and the others, and Wang Yangming walked forward with the others. Zhang Qian introduced: "This one is Wang Yangming, the captain of my Liupin Zhaowu Academy, and my security officer. This one is Wang Zhen, a close attendant of Emperor Hongwu of my dynasty, and his martial arts are strong. These three are soldiers under the command of Captain Wang, Gu Xifeng, Chen Baxian, and Lu Fengxian, all of whom are unworthy of courage. ”

The five of them saluted the king. Seeing that the other four of these five people were a little thinner, the other four were all tigers and wolves, and the king loved warriors, so he nodded and approved: "A few of them are indeed strong." It seems that the rumors are true, and there are many martial artists in Great Xia. ”

The great master said a few more words to the king, and then the two thin men on the two seats also stood up and walked to the king's side, and also said a few words, Wang Yangming asked Biluo, "What are they talking about?"

Bi Luo whispered: "I can't really hear it, I can understand the general meaning, these three people are the national teachers of the king's seal, the fat one is the national teacher, the other two are the second national division and the three national divisions, all three of them have martial arts, I heard that the king praised your martial arts, I seem to be unconvinced, I want to compete with you." ”

Sure enough, I heard the king say: "The three national teachers who are lonely are also people who practice martial arts, and I am a fierce national style, the so-called martial arts friends, the three national teachers want to compete with the three masters in the Xia Dynasty mission." I wonder if the envoy might agree?"

Zhang Qian has no bottom in his heart, he doesn't know the depth of the three national teachers, for fear that he won't be able to cope with it, and if he accidentally loses, it will be humiliating to the national body. But if you don't dare to fight, it will be even more cowardly. Wang Yangming saw that he was embarrassed, and stepped forward and whispered: "Master Hou agreed." We can't afford to lose face. ”
