Bu Yan and Ha Razhang and a group of officials took Bao Yuanqian's team into the city from the south gate and went straight to the Helin Palace in the city.

When Bao Yuanqian entered the city, he found that this was as wide as Lin City, no less than the scale of any ancient city ruins that he had visited in later generations.

It is also divided into an outer city, an inner city and a palace city. As soon as Bao Yuanqian entered the outer city, he could look at the top of the Helin Palace in the distance, faintly and magnificently.

The city is extremely developed in commerce, camels, horses carry the people, commerce and cultural exchanges of all ethnic groups. The whole market was noisy, Bao Yuanqian smelled the strong smell of feces, and said in his heart that this is good with Lin, but this smell is too strong.

In the sea of people, he saw the Semu people of all ethnic groups, the Mongols and even some Han people who took refuge, and simply had the armor of Buyan to open the way in front, otherwise... It's really hard to squeeze a way.

The Ming army all widened their eyes, stretched their necks to look left and right.

Although a group of people have been at the border for a long time, it is also the first time they have "gone abroad". It is the first time to see such a busy market, which is more dazzling than the market in Suzhou, which makes people hesitate.

This is the central city of Saibei, where there are good things from Han and Mongolia, as well as various ethnic groups, and even Central and Western Asia and even European gadgets are piled up on the stalls, which are eye-catching.

Bao Butong looked at the small toolbox on the stall and wanted to stop, he had never seen such a delicate iron tool.

Bao Yuanqian grabbed him, "Do the right thing first, and talk about the rest later." "He'd seen it all a while ago, but it's just European gadgets.

These things were not uncommon to him in later generations, and the tools of later generations were more elaborate and perfect than this, and these so-called so-called exquisiteness became rough in his eyes, and they were not worthy of attention.

Seeing his younger brother pouting in disappointment, he looked at Zhang Shanduan, who was chatting happily with Bu Yan in front of him, and said in his heart that this Zhang Shanduan met Bu Yan who could speak Chinese, so he actively played the demeanor of the leader of the team, as if he regarded himself as a person who talked about the envoy on this trip.

He shook his head, looking at the slowly moving carriage beside him, and he thought of Sarenya, who had just sobbed, and with a thought, he stepped on the stirrup and jumped onto the carriage frame.

He lifted the curtain and entered, and Tuohuan looked back from time to time in front of him, and happened to see that he was a little confused, and was about to turn the horse but was pulled by Wuyan'er to hold the reins, and after the two exchanged glances, Tuohuan snorted angrily and had to give up.

"Condolences." Bao Yuan got into the carriage, he looked at Sa Renya, whose eyes were a little red and swollen, and said with some distress, "Some things are unavoidable, the dead are gone, and the living should be encouraged." ”

Sarenya lowered her knees and said to herself, "I have no relatives anymore..."

Enke and Kun Timur died in political struggles one after another, and she was the only one left in the descendants of Sudil, and Bao Yuanqian could understand her lonely heart.

Bao Yuanqian stepped forward and pressed her fragrant shoulder, "No, you still have your people, don't you?" As you said, they have repeatedly risked their lives to save you, are they not your relatives? ”

"I promised you that I would never break my word, you lost your brother, but you still have me." Bao Yuanqian gently held the tears on her cheeks with his fingers, "I am also your relative." ”

Sa Renya was suddenly stunned, she looked at the deep bite scar on Bao Yuanqian's finger, and remembered the days when she lived in the Bao family, and her pseudonym was Bao Yuanqian's sister, Bao Ya.

But only she knows, but in fact, she secretly substituted her identity into his....

As for why she was tempted by a petty official of the Ming Kingdom, she didn't know.

Maybe it's because she has a natural timidity and wariness of men in high positions. Perhaps it was because he survived and saved himself from danger several times. Maybe it's because he was born interesting, and he can always make him inexplicably happy.

Maybe it's because of the word emotion, there is no need for a reason at all. To like is to like, and to love is to love.

Now that she heard Bao Yuanqian say that he was also her relative, she suddenly agreed with it in her heart.

"Hmm..."

She let out a sad sigh, got up and crashed into Bao Yuanqian's arms, just like Naadam crying wantonly in his chest day and night, Bao Yuanqian hugged her tightly, stroked her back and comforted, he looked at the corner of the car with blazing eyes and said: "It's good that Tuhuan didn't come to attack me today, but he couldn't hold his breath but came, which confirms what you told me, this jade seal is very likely to be as you said." ”

"Now that you have entered this peace forest, it is a place you are familiar with, and the joy and shame seem to obey you. You are the key winner in all of these things. ”

Sarenya seemed to understand what he meant, stopped crying, nodded in her arms, and sobbed, "I understand."

Bao Yuanqian rubbed her shoulders and said softly, "Don't be afraid, I will always be there." Presumably, Lao Jiang is already on the way to the Kerebu at this time, and he has brought reinforcements here, as long as we achieve our goal, I will take you out and stay away from this place. ”

Sarenya looked up at Bao Yuanqian, her jewel-like eyes were even more transparent with mist, and she nodded vigorously and said, "Batu, I believe in you." ”

Women are always emotional in the face of feelings, and her temperament is hot and hot, straightforward and unreserved.

When she meets her beloved, she can believe it desperately, and she will ask herself from time to time, what if she is deceived again? But she dispelled this idea again and again, and she chose to believe in Bao Yuanqian desperately.

The rather huge procession finally entered the palace, and everyone dismounted and walked in, while Sarenya followed closely behind the Bao Yuanqian brothers.

She returned to this place that had made her tremble since she was a child, and she wanted to step forward and hold Bao Yuanqian's hand and snuggle him.

But reason told her no, here is He Lin, who is controlled by Tuhuan's father and son, although she is noble but has no real power, and Bao Yuanqian is an envoy of the Ming Kingdom, and any action that is too close to him will put Bao Yuanqian in unknown danger.

Countless armor soldiers on both sides of the palace gate stood on both sides with honor guard blades, and Bao Yuanqian looked at them with dazzling eyes and saw that these people were burly, just like the Han general of Jinyi Wei, they were all specially selected honor guard armorers.

Harazhang and Buyan led them through the palace gate and inward.

"Huo, it's amazing, it's amazing!"

"Mom, it's so majestic... It's much more magnificent than our Suzhou Wei's yamen! Damn, even the floor tiles are paved with jade! It's generous! ”

"Nonsense, can this be compared? This is the home of the Great Khan of Mongolia, just... It's like our emperor's home! ”

The Ming army is an honest military household, although the skills are good, but the knowledge is too much, the first time I entered this and Lin palace group, I was shocked by the various palaces in front of me, row upon row, and variety.

The ancients were like this, the biggest building they had ever seen in their lives was probably the Suzhou Wei Yamen, and they had never even seen the Ganzhou Xingdu Si Yamen, let alone the imperial palace of Yingtianfu.

Now that they jumped directly from the tenth level of the Acropolis Yamen and directly jumped into the palace of the Mongolian Great Khan, how could they not be shocked. A group of rough men, just like Grandma Liu in the Dream of Red Mansions entering the Grand View Garden, are full of foreign appearances.

"Look at this, look at that temple, where is this house, have you never seen it?" Zhao Bao pointed to an Eastern European Gothic building and exclaimed.

"Ah, this must be something... So what... Persian house bar. His brother Zhao Biao looked like he didn't understand.

Bao Yuanqian looked funny, he was a modern person, although it was the first time he had seen this and Lin Palace, but he was naturally not particularly surprised if he had seen the Forbidden City.

However, along the way, this and Lin have a dome-style Mongolian palace, a Western Gothic palace dominated by brick and stone, and more of a Han-style beam and wood structure of the main hall.

He thought in his heart, it seems that this Mongolia has destroyed hundreds of countries, absorbed the essence of various countries, absorbed the characteristics of Asian and European palace architecture, and built his capital palace into a situation where China and the West coexist, which is in line with the Mongolian pragmatism and pragmatic first code of conduct.

At that time, Mongolia's science and technology military was almost a blank slate, but through the conquest of advanced civilizations, the Xia, Song, and Jin continued to absorb the advanced technology of the East Asian monster house, armed themselves to the teeth, conquered everything, and directly filled the technology tree.

Mongolia became the world's most powerful military and technologically advanced country in the 13th century, which was completely different from the barbaric conquest civilization that later generations thought, on the contrary, the Mongol conquest of four grams was precisely the inevitability of civilization to conquer barbarism, and the barbaric Europe of the Middle Ages was complacent, and failure was inevitable for the Mongols who absorbed and learned from East Asia.

Moreover, Mongolia had a terrible concept at that time, that is, it abandoned the concept of all ethnic groups, as long as the talents who are useful to the country, who can do it, no matter where you are born, as long as you have the ability, you can be respected.

This is evidenced by the skilled craftsmen of Mongolia, whose status is very high, because of their role in science and technology and military, and enjoys unimaginable respect and status in other countries, and this pragmatism is also the key to Mongolia's rapid growth from barbarian tribes to unify the world.

When Bao Yuanqian thought of this, he couldn't help but sum up in his heart, if a country wants to be strong and forge ahead, it must open up to the outside world, absorb and learn from the essence of other countries, and must not be introverted and self-contained, and arrogant.

Han Zhiqiang is to boldly appoint the strength of the people of Han, Qiang, Huns, Xianbei and other ethnic groups in its territory, and even the minister of Tuogu, Jin Riyan, is a Huns, so that he can influence thousands of miles and clarify Yuyu.

The Tang Dynasty was also open and inclusive, boldly appointing people of all ethnic groups to join high-ranking officials and military generals, wantonly forging ahead to expand the territory and becoming a great unification.

On the other hand, the Song and Ming dynasties in later generations, the trust in foreigners is obviously far less than that of the Han and Tang dynasties, although there are attached "dignitaries" but the real power is impossible to fall into the hands of people outside the Han nationality, so whether it is the Song or the Ming Dynasty, it has never been able to actually control the Western Regions and the Northeast, let alone the north.

It is rare to see a Yi Zaifu like Jin Riyan in the Song and Ming dynasties, and the openness and inclusiveness of a dynasty determine the vastness of its territory, which is inevitable.

In the early Qing Dynasty, the territory was expanded, relying on the fact that the people of Manchu, Mongolian, Han and Tibetan ethnic groups were twisted into a rope for the first time in thousands of years, and had the same interests and ideals, so that they could not be afraid of sacrifice and go forward to lay down a magnificent territory under actual control.

"Hey, why aren't you surprised at all? What do you meditate on? Sa Renya secretly approached, interrupting Bao Yuanqian's thoughts.

Bao Yuanqian was stunned and said, "Why are you surprised? ”

Sa Renya was curious, she thought that Bao Yuanqian was just a pawn of Suzhou Weiyi, and she had never had the opportunity to see such a magnificent palace, but now it seems that this Bao Yuanqian doesn't seem to be thinking about the surroundings at all, in stark contrast to the companions around him, but complements the same calm wind on the side.

After hearing this, Sa Renya glanced at Bao Yuanqian a few times, with a surprised look on her face, Bao Yuanqian shrugged and said, "What are these, is there a special Buddha in the Forbidden City?" ”

"The Forbidden City? Spurtford? What is it again? ”

Bao Butong suddenly leaned over and said: "My brother is like this, there are always some strange words in his mouth, just get used to it." ”

After he finished speaking, he pointed to a temple in the distance and said, "Sister Sa, Luke! ”

"Luke?"

In such a bustling city, the group passed through the many palaces in the Helin Palace, turned to the right and slipped out of the palace city, and was taken by Harazhang to a group of buildings.

Hara Zhang said: "This is the embassy of Helin, your country is the envoy of the Celestial Empire, this place can be used for you to rest, but the north is not like the Central Plains, please forgive me for the bitter cold." ”

Bao Yuanqian looked around, this envoy pavilion was similar to the Gothic white row of three-story brick and stone buildings, not as magnificent as the central hall of the Fangcai Palace, but it was quite accommodating people and horses to rest.

He thought in his heart that it was just right, and he was still thinking that if he entered the palace, it would not be easy to come out, and now that he arrived at the embassy hall outside the palace, although it was slightly isolated from the downtown area, it was better than being restrained within the high walls.

In order to keep a low profile, these people did not hesitate to take a shortcut from the palace to place their group in the embassy hall, bypassing the downtown on the southeast side.

"As for Her Royal Highness the Princess, we have arranged for a maid to come here, is this suspicious?"

Zhang Shanduan glanced at Bao Yuanqian, the two exchanged glances, and he said, "It's just right, we are all big men, and it is naturally better for someone to serve the princess." ”

As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen maids dressed in brocade came.

Tuohuan walked over, before he arrived in front of Sarenya, Bao Butong and the Zhao brothers stopped in front of him, and gritted his teeth angrily, he was the prince of the Ross Department, but because the other party was an envoy of the Ming Dynasty, his father intended to make friends with the Ming Kingdom and had to endure this breath.

"Sarenya, stay here, and soon you will be free." He looked at Sarenya behind the three strong men, snorted coldly and led the people away.

After talking to Zhang Shanduan and giving him a few tokens for entering and leaving, Zhang Shanduan walked up to Bao Yuanqian and said, "Then Bu Yan just told me that later today, the Taishi Mahamu will summon our envoys. ”

Bao Yuanqian frowned and said, "Summoning us?" ”

Zhang Shanduan nodded and said: "I think about it, since this envoy of the Ming Kingdom wants to pretend to be indispensable, you will be my deputy envoy, let's take the holy decree of the two brocade guards to earn him." ”

Bao Yuanqian pondered for a long time, and then said, "It's feasible." ”
