"Lord Zeng? Which Zeng? How did these ordinary people find the inn when they were looking for officials? ”

Randy was puzzled when a young man walked out of the inn, not wearing an official uniform, a suit and leather shoes, with black gauze wrapped around his arms, and a straight waist, looking like a young talent.

The two attendants behind him were dressed in uniform and carried waist knives and hilt knives, looking nervously at the people kneeling on the ground, for fear that there would be a mob hidden in them.

Randy unexpectedly gets to know this trendy official, this is Zeng Jiayi, the great-grandson of the imperial court's ambassador to the Elven Kingdom, New Frank, and Zeng Shanchang.

Zeng Jiayi was not dissatisfied with the sudden disturbance of the people, and looked concerned, "What is the matter with the villagers looking for Zeng?" ”

An old man walked two steps on his knees and walked out of the crowd, "Lord Zeng, I heard that you are going to negotiate with the Orc Country, please be sure to let the Orc Country hand over Bai Yanhu who has absconded there." ”

Zeng Jiayi's face was embarrassed, "This time I went to negotiate with Lucia, mainly to resolve the territorial dispute between the two sides, and Ili is still in the hands of others."

There is a sea threat from the orcs in the east of my Great Xia, and if I fight with Lucia again in the west, and the enemy is on both sides, the national strength will definitely not be able to hold on. If Lucia must not hand over Bai Yanhu, I, as a diplomat, have no bargaining chips in my hand. ”

"My lord, Xiaomin doesn't understand national affairs, he only knows that Bai Yanhu does all kinds of evil and kills countless people. We are all poor people whose villages have been slaughtered and our relatives and friends have been lost, and our lords must avenge us. ”

And they all kowtowed together, and pleaded with one voice, but they refused to get up.

Zeng Jiayi was young after all, and he was excited by everyone's emotions, and gritted his teeth, "Folks, Zeng must add this condition to the negotiation and fight for it."

I can't guarantee success, if I have the trust of my father, Zeng Mou will not want this official hat, resign and return to his hometown, in order to thank the world. ”

Seeing that Ambassador Zeng promised to do his best, everyone kowtowed together to thank him, "Lord Zeng is a good official, just do your best." ”

Seeing everyone stand up and gradually disperse, Zeng Jiayi turned around and suddenly saw Randy here. took two steps and bowed to the ground, "Zeng Jiayi has seen Uncle Shizu." ”

Randy hurriedly helped Ambassador Zeng up, "Lord Zeng, we are the same age, we can't be counted like this. How can you give me a salute to this grass people? ”

"Then I'll trespass and call you Brother Lan, why is it so coincidental? Coming to Chang'an? ”

Randy was about to explain, Zeng Jiayi took Randy's hand, "We brothers haven't seen each other for two years, let's go, go in and talk." ”

Sanmao didn't go in with him. He went to the inn and opened a double room, then ran out, found the butcher's shop, thought about it, bought a few more yellow sheep, threw them into the storage belt, and went to the grocery store and bought a bunch of blue and red medicines.

When Sanmao returned to the inn, he saw Zeng Jiayi sending Randy out, the two clasped hands, Zeng Jiayi looked grateful, "Then it's troublesome brother, let's see you tomorrow morning." ”

The next morning, Henry finally didn't drop the chain, and returned as promised, still humming in his mouth, "The forehead is the forehead, the forehead is the white Henry, the forehead is the white Henry", I don't know which girl I learned from.

The three of them gathered, but Randy didn't give the order to go. After a while, five or six assistants, attachés, and other petty officers arrived from the post station, followed by more than twenty officers and soldiers, leading their horses and waiting at the door of the inn.

An attaché led three horses, "This is a gift from the ambassador to the three, thank them for their care." ”

After waiting for a while, Zeng Jiayi cleaned up and led the two entourages out of the room, and when he passed by Sanmao, Sanmao smelled a smell of sandalwood.

Zeng Jiayi waved his hand, "Let's go." ”

Randy, Henry, and Sanmao led the way in front of the horse, and Zeng Jiayi hugged and followed behind.

Sanmao is very proud. The old acquaintance of the boss is now a high-ranking official with an envoy, and the minister of the imperial court in Lucia, and he can also ride a horse on the street by borrowing light, which is really an unprecedented treatment.

Randy smiled bitterly and shook his head, this mountain chief's great-grandchild is like a son-in-law, and he thinks that the conditions of the post station are not good, so he willfully goes to the guest house. Zeng Shanchang said that there are no outstanding talents in the younger generations, probably because they can't get used to this.

Arriving at the camp in Bianjia Village, Randy explained to Long Wu that there was an official accompanying him, and Long Wu readily agreed. glanced at Zeng Jiayi, and didn't look at this court official at all.

All the way to the west, Xiaoxing stayed overnight, the weather gradually warmed up, and the barren mountains on both sides of the post road began to bring light green.

In the territory of Gansu and Shaanxi, the rebellion was quelled relatively early, but there were no bandits. Along the way, there were ten rooms and nine emptiness, there was no rooster crowing for thousands of miles, the white bones were exposed in the wild, and those who could be bandits were all killed.

From time to time, there were traces of demon wolves on both sides, and Ah Hua was scared away as soon as she roared. Customers and officials are in a hurry, and Randy is embarrassed to make money and delay the trip.

However, the demon wolf has a very tenacious personality, and it is not easy to see these foods, which have been dotted farther behind, and more and more gathered. Among the people, only Long Wu found out, but he just smiled contemptuously.

The time has come to May 20th, and after Yiwu, Gaochang is not far ahead, and everyone is used to monotonous travel.

Zeng Jiayi was yawning on his horse, his suit was covered with dust, and he was drowsy, when the sound of a horse bell suddenly appeared in front of him, and a tall Arabian horse flew over.

Immediately, a knight, wearing a turban and a white veil, kept looking back, and then a group of men in black rode in hot pursuit.

The horses of the men in white are relatively much better, but there are more chasing soldiers and horses behind than people, so they can be transferred, and they are about to catch up after a long-distance pursuit.

The man in white saw that he couldn't escape, and suddenly dismounted, and a golden staff appeared in his hand, chanting a spell in his mouth, and a series of fireballs hit the pursuers, who was a mage.

The pursuers had already prepared, dismounted together, gathered together, and a small round shield appeared in each hand, forming a shield array.

The slow fireball hit the shield array, and a layer of white light glowed on the surface of the round shield. The fireball shattered, the white light was only dimmed, and the man in black behind the shield was unharmed.

The round shield in the hands of the man in black disappeared neatly, and a crossbow appeared in each person's hand, and more than a dozen crossbow arrows shot at the man in white.

The man in white just blocked the speed of the pursuers, and after sending a fireball, he didn't even look at it, and immediately jumped on his horse, and a wind shield immediately appeared behind him, lying on his horse, and came straight to the camel caravan.

More than a dozen crossbow arrows flew past his ears, and two of them were also deflected by the Wind Shield.

When the man in black saw his target fleeing, he mounted his horse and chased after him relentlessly.

The man in white ran to the front of the camel caravan, jumped off the horse with a roll, and knelt down towards Zeng Jiayi, "My lord, my lord, help." ”

Long Wu clasped his arms to his chest, not planning to care about this matter, and Randy couldn't figure out what kind of doorway this was, and looked at Ambassador Zeng.

Zeng Jiayi waved his hand, "Bold, kill people on the official road, take it down for me." ”

Twenty officers and soldiers bypassed the man in white, drew their waist swords, and stopped the pursuers.

Seeing that it was an official army, the pursuers did not dare to act rashly, and one of the leaders came out, stood upright, and saluted Zeng Jiayi, "This sir, we are chasing the fugitives of our country, please don't stop it." ”

Zeng Jiayi smiled, "Which country's soldiers dare to come to the territory of Great Xia to arrest people?" ”

"Report, we are the guards of Major Mustafa of the Ottoman Empire invited by the Governor of Zuo."

Ottoman's? Zeng Jiayi hesitated. This is a temporary ally brought in by Governor Zuo in order to contain Lucia, and it is an important weight for him to negotiate with Lucia this time.

The man in white saw that this Great Xia official had the possibility of selling himself, and immediately became anxious, "My lord, I am not a fugitive, Mustafa is an Ottoman careerist, I discovered their conspiracy, and I was wronged."

Ottoman IV, the sixth in line to the throne of the Ottoman Sultan, requested political asylum in Bactria ”
