119 The King's Hospitality

Chen Ba first listened to Wang Yangming's description, but he didn't want it. Wang Yangming www.biquge.info knew that Hideyoshi was wise, so he told Hideyoshi about Yu Xuanji's focus on him, and the caliber was still consistent with what he said to Wang Panpan.

Hideyoshi thought for a while and said, "Listen to what you said, Yu Xuanji has internal injuries in his body, and as long as he runs Jiuyang Divine Skill with all his strength, he will have an attack." She tried with you before, presumably she had used all her strength, maybe it caused the injury in her body, and she was busy healing, so she didn't have time to trouble you. ”

Wang Yangming felt that Hideyoshi's analysis was very reasonable, but based on his speculation, he was afraid that Yu Xuanji's injuries would soon heal, and she would be ready to attack at any time. But there is no better way at the moment, so I can only be vigilant with twelve points.

Everyone stayed overnight all the way, and finally left the realm of Yanqi and entered Qiuzi. Before he had gone far from the border of Qiuzi, he saw the sound of drums in front of him, and it seemed that a large group of people were beating gongs and drums in his direction. Wang Yangming was on guard, and hurriedly asked everyone to do a good job of defense, but saw that the team was not an army, but a band in brocade robes and jade clothes, there were about a hundred of these people, and they stopped when they walked in front of Wang Yangming and others, and did not have the slightest intention of attacking, but instead walked out of the crowd A civil official came out of the crowd and shouted in fluent Chinese: "Ahead is the delegation of the Great Xia Kingdom?" Below is the second member of the Qiuzi Kingdom, Wailang Mueller, who came to greet the **** envoy, and hoped that you would enter Beijing with me to meet the king. ”

Zhang Qian heard the man's shout on the horse, turned around and called Wang Yangming over, and said: "We came all the way, there are many swords and soldiers who meet each other, and few who treat each other with courtesy. These people in front of us are obviously very enthusiastic about us, but I don't know how they learned about our whereabouts, and why they welcomed us into Beijing with great fanfare?"

Wang Yangming didn't know why, so he had to step forward and ask, "How did Mr. Wailang know about our arrival?"

The foreign man said respectfully: "The king of my dynasty has admired the culture of the Xia Dynasty for a long time, but the two countries are too far apart and have never seen each other. The king had already received news that the Marquis of your country Zhang Qian had traveled through the countries of the Western Regions with a delegation of more than 100 people, so he was looking forward to it day and night, and sent 10,000 border guards to inspect everywhere, hoping that you would come as soon as possible. Today, the border guards reported that more than 100 people wore Xia Dynasty costumes and entered our country, and His Majesty expected that it must be Marquis Zhang who arrived, so he sent his subordinates to greet him, and hoped that Marquis Zhang would go to Beijing to talk to our king!"

Wang Yangming told Zhang Qian the words of this foreigner, Zhang Qian said: "Whether this king is true or false, since he has put up such a big battle to invite us, if we don't go, we will inevitably look rude, and we can't say it, so we will go to Beijing with him, but everything is careful, and we must not repeat the mistakes of Yuli again." ”

Wang Yangming responded, and immediately let the foreign man lead the way in front, and he led the Yingyang Army and his party to escort the people of the mission to follow.

When the foreigner saw that Zhang Qian had agreed to his request, he was overjoyed, and ordered the members of the band to beat the gongs and drums even harder, and his enthusiasm was so great that the delegation felt flattered.

After walking for three hours, they finally arrived in the capital, and saw that although the capital was far less prosperous than Chang'an, it also had everything. Everyone followed the band all the way to the State Guesthouse, and listened to the outsider say: "The delegation must be tired from a long journey, so I invite everyone to rest at the State Guesthouse tonight." My king has an order, tonight in the palace to set up a banquet, invite Zhang Hou Ye and his party, Hou Ye can decide who to send to follow, but the number of people is not too much, the king set up a private banquet, not too many seats. ”

Zhang Qian said in his heart that this time he must not be the same as last time, following the other party's way. He saw that since the Wailang said that he could choose his entourage at will, he called Wang Zhen, Wang Yangming, Chen Baxian, Lu Fengxian, Wang Panpan, Shen Qingdai, Xiuji, Su Mu, Biluo, Ye Qingmei and others to him, and said to the Wailang: "Ben Hou will take these ten people there, what does the Wailang think?" The ten people he called, except for Biluo and Ye Qingmei, the other eight are already the strongest martial arts in the Yingyang Army, and each of these people is experienced in a hundred battles, and it is expected that even if they encounter an ambush, they will be able to protect themselves and break out of the encirclement.

The wailang smiled: "Look at what Master Hou said." Although our Qiuzi country is small, it can't be compared with the **** kingdom of Great Xia, and it's no problem to entertain more than a dozen people. Let's ask Master Hou and these young ladies to set off immediately, right?"

Zhang Qian saw that the foreigner agreed very happily, but he hesitated a little. He secretly said to Wang Yangming: "Could it be that this king really admires the culture of my Xia Kingdom and sincerely invites us to the banquet?

Wang Yangming whispered: "Master Hou just have to go with confidence." With the protection of ten of us, we can break into the Longtan Tiger's Den. ”

Zhang Qian saw that Wang Yangming was full of confidence, and his doubts were all gone, so he changed into court clothes in the state guesthouse and took Wang Yangming and others to the palace. Wang Yangming ordered Gu Xifeng to temporarily take the position of commander of the Yingyang Army, and he must be careful, so he followed Zhang Qian.

Everyone walked to the palace, and in a short time they had reached the palace gate. The guards had already received the news, and hurriedly lowered the city gate, Zhang Qian, led by the foreign man Mueller, walked all the way to the depths of the palace, and saw a palace towering majestically, thinking that this was the palace where the banquet was held tonight. A eunuch had already gone in to report that the **** had arrived, only to see an old man in luxurious clothes happily greet him, holding Zhang Qian's hand, and said in a somewhat stiff Chinese: "Marquis Zhang, this king has been looking forward to you for a long time, please come in." "This old man is the king of Qiuzi, it seems that he really admires the culture of the Xia Dynasty very much, and he actually learned Chinese himself.

Zhang Qian saw that although the king was over sixty years old, his face was red and refreshed, and he seemed to be well-maintained, and the foreigner was respectful to the king, and his expression was reverence from the bottom of his heart, and he should be a gentleman of the way. He thought that although Qiuzi was not big, it choked the east, west, north, south and north roads of the sixteen countries of the Western Regions, and it was really a battleground for soldiers. If this king really has the heart to reconcile with Great Xia, it will also be a good thing that will be greatly beneficial to Great Xia.

The king took Zhang Qian's hand, all the way to the hall, there were already civil and military officials standing up to greet him, the king introduced several important ministers in the court to Zhang Qian one by one, and then led him to the position of the head, and the guest and host sat down. The king first said it in Qiuzi language, and then said in Chinese: "The widow has admired the culture of the Xia Dynasty since he was a child, and he regrets that he couldn't be born in the **** kingdom." I heard that there were envoys of the Xia Dynasty who traveled around the Western Regions, and the widows looked forward to it day and night, and finally looked forward to everyone. The widow was fortunate to see the **** envoy, and he was very happy in his heart, let's enjoy our joy today, Jin Wu couldn't help it!" he raised his glass and invited Zhang Qian to drink.
