Chu Nan threw the stunned master and servant there, grabbed the cold coat and ran out, squinted his eyes and walked out against the cold wind outside, out of the gate of the Chu family, just in time to see the thin and small Ou Xiaohua walking around in front of the Chu Mansion, from time to time stomping his feet to keep warm, as far as Ou Xiaohua's identity is concerned, if no one leads it inside, he is not qualified to enter the gate of the Chu family.

Ou Xiaohua was pushed to Chu Nan's side to help, although they were all responsible for some errands of serving tea and water, but after all, it was a face-showing errand, although this Lord Chu seemed a little unreliable, but it was still very easy to speak, so Ou Xiaohua was still very attentive, and when she saw Chu Nan coming out, she hurriedly stepped forward and said: "My lord." ”

Chu Nan raised his collar to block the cold wind, frowned and scolded a few times This ghost weather, in this case, it is obviously impossible to walk, fortunately, Chu Nan's identity is not low, and the Ministry of Rites also specially patted a carriage to follow, but it also saved him from the wind and cold, nodded at Ou Xiaohua and said: "Let's go, get in the carriage and talk about it, this ghost weather." ”

Ou Xiaohua hurriedly followed, laboriously climbed into the carriage and stood on Chu Nan's side, and whispered: "My lord, the envoy from Montenegro has arrived, and it is a heavyweight prince who has come, and Lord Sun said that you must go to receive it in person." ”

Chu Nan got into the warm and comfortable carriage, frowned and motioned for Ou Xiaohua to sit down and said, snorting coldly: "Montenegro? Do you really think he is still the same Montenegro as before? The shelf is not small, Lao Tzu is in a bad mood, but he is guilty of being in my hands, Vasai can't be guilty, and it's not bad to take a declining nobleman to open a knife." ”

Montenegro, speaking of the northwest is also famous, because there is a black mountain range rich in the best iron ore in the capital of the country, the weapons cast by the Montenegro country are known as the world's unparalleled, once really swept the world, but also relied on the tough and sharp weapons to accumulate countless wealth.

But that was before, now the recognized boss of the northwest is Jiang Muxue's Vasai, Montenegro has long been in decline, the original Montenegro's world-famous casting technology has also been surpassed by the beam, and it has become not worth mentioning, and the fundamental Montenegrin iron ore for the founding of the country has not much left, but, after all, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the heritage of Montenegro is there, and it is used to being the first country in the northwest, and it is now a force that cannot be ignored.

Ou Xiaohua smiled bitterly, fortunately, in the past few days, Lord Chu has done his best to receive envoys from all ethnic groups, and he has never made a big mistake, and he also knows that this is just an angry thing that Lord Chu said, it can't be taken seriously, and those who should be seriously received still have to make a full gesture, seeing that Chu Nan did not mean to let go, he breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and listened to the cold wind outside and said with a bitter face: "It seems that this year's winter is extraordinarily cold, and it is a crime to come to pay tribute at this time." ”

Chu Nan nodded slightly, thought about it for a while, and said with a smile: "Xiaohua, I'll test you now, why did you say that Your Majesty didn't let the hundred clans come to pay tribute at this time? Isn't it more suitable to wait for the spring of the next year, or in the summer? There are many reasons, look at what you say." ”

Ou Xiaohua has also been eye-opening recently, and when she heard that Chu Nan was taking the school entrance examination, she didn't want Chu Nan to underestimate herself, she frowned and thought for a while, and said tentatively: "This tribute seems to have been proposed by Queen Vasai on her own initiative, in order to congratulate Your Majesty on the victory of the Northern Expedition." Since the Queen of Vasai is here, those wall grasses naturally dare not come. ”

Chu Nan nodded, looked at Ou Xiaohua and said with a smile, "Go on." ”

Ou Xiaohua was greatly encouraged, and said seriously: "The Northern Expedition has won a great victory, which is naturally a great joy, if there is another hundred tribes to come to the court, it will naturally be happy and happy, whether it is delayed until the spring of the next year or in the summer, it will inevitably have some fly in the ointment at that time, and it will not be able to achieve the current effect." ”

Chu Nan sighed with his hands in his sleeves and said: "Yes, everyone knows this truth, and they know that this is not the best time to pay tribute, and they can't help but encourage those small countries to participate." But in fact, that's what happened, Your Majesty may not really care about this tribute in your heart, it's just that everyone thinks it's so good, and Your Majesty has to look happy and look forward to paying attention to it. ”

Ou Xiaohua was a little dazed, and said deliciously: "Your Majesty can use this to leave a name in history, how can you not pay attention to it?"

Chu Nan smiled disdainfully and said lightly: "What's so difficult to understand about this." If you are serious, Daliang has never taken these small countries in the northwest in his eyes, after all, they are all scattered sand, and they will open up to each other without waiting for Daliang to fight. The one that can make His Majesty a little interested is Vasai, and Montenegro can barely count half of it. And the real enemy of Daliang is in Mobei, and the place that he wants to recover most is Yingzhou. Now, the two most important enemies have not sent anyone, and this time the hundred tribes come to the court, which sounds good, but in fact, it is a chicken rib, and it is a pity to abandon it if it is tasteless. ”

Ou Xiaohua opened her mouth wide, swallowed hard and thought for a while before nodding and muttering, "It seems to be the same thing." ”

Chu Nan slapped Ou Xiaohua's head hard, and said with a smile: "What is it like?" So, for the current errand, there is no need to take it too seriously, even if something really goes wrong, as long as it is not out of control, Your Majesty will not blame it, do you understand?"

Ou Xiaohua looked at Chu Nan in a daze, and only after a long time did she smile bitterly and said euphemistically: "Although it sounds reasonable, but, my lord, let's be serious, Lord Sun has to call me over several times every day in the past few days, and warn me to be cautious." ”

Chu Nan waved his hand, didn't want to say more, leaned on the carriage and thought silently, now the treasury of Daliang is empty, Emperor Liang for the sake of face, in order to make the Northern Expedition win, people have nothing to say, in vain spent a lot of military and financial resources, at this time, the northwest countries came to pay tribute, which naturally reduced the possibility of Daliang being robbed by the northwest.

Speaking of which, the cumulative strength of the countries in the northwest is definitely not weaker than that of the Hu people, if the Hu people who have worked hard to fight in the Liang have no temper, but they are bullied by several reckless small countries in the northwest and can't fight back, it is really a shame.

.................................................................................................................................... The capital of Montenegro is built according to the Montenegro Mountains, which is extremely majestic and strong, and is one of the most important fortresses in the world, and the Montenegrin royal family has mastered the iron ore of the Montenegro Mountains, which is firmly grasped by the foundation of Montenegro, whether it is wealth or pomp is the first in the northwest, even if it is the newly rising Queen Jiang, it cannot be compared.

Just look at the team of envoys who came to pay tribute to Montenegro this time, I am afraid that there are thousands of people in the miscellaneous entourage, none of those guards are wearing black armor, even the weapons are black and bright, all of them are cast with rare Black Mountain iron ore, just this set of weapons and armor under the body, it is not less valuable than a sweat and blood horse.

Montenegro is not like those other small countries, coveting the return gift of the big beam, there are dozens of carriages that come with the envoys, every light is extremely luxurious, even the carriages made by those entourages are many times more gorgeous than the one of Chu Nan, as for the envoy of Montenegro this time, that is, the younger brother of the king of Montenegro, the carriage of the prince of Montenegro is not as gorgeous as Queen Jiang's carriage, but the axles of the carriage he is sitting in are shining golden!

Ou Xiaohua gasped, looked at the swaggering carriage in a daze, and said with bared teeth: "No............ Is this carriage made of gold??

Chu Nan rolled his eyes, got out of the carriage and stepped forward, arched his hand with a smile and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince has come from afar, and the journey is tiring, I have sealed the order of His Majesty Daliang, and asked His Royal Highness the Prince to go to the Sifang Pavilion to rest." ”

The carriage, which appeared to be made of gold, came to a slow stop, and several women's laughter could be heard inside, and then the curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing the inside of the carriage.

The decoration in the carriage is also gorgeous, there are several huge pearls hanging on the roof, the carriage is wrapped in a thick layer of cold fur, it looks like that, but I don't know what kind of rare fur, there is a small table in the center of the carriage, there are some drinks and food on it, and the shadows of some foreign women can be vaguely seen on both sides, there is a big black man sitting behind the table, who is sitting there with a shy stomach, without the slightest intention of getting up to greet him, his eyes are also faintly looking upward, just looking at Chu Nan and Ou Xiaohua with the afterglow of his eyes, he frowned and said: "Why are they two hairy boys? Why don't General Yang or Prince Heng come?"

Chu Nan laughed, this Prince of Montenegro really thinks he is a character, fortunately, he has been used to seeing all kinds of top envoys in the past few days, and he didn't even have an angry **, and said with a smile: "General Yang has just arrived in the capital and is discussing state affairs with His Majesty, and General Yang is not responsible for these things, if His Royal Highness has time, he can visit in private." His Royal Highness Prince Heng went to Queen Vasai today, and he will be able to see His Royal Highness when he arrives at the Sifang Pavilion. ”

The Prince of Montenegro was a little dissatisfied, but he was helpless, because Chu Nan's words had already blocked all the excuses that could be angry, whether it was His Majesty Emperor Liang or Queen Vasaijiang, he could not afford to provoke him, this Prince of Montenegro was still very self-aware, but at this time, the prince's shelf could not be lost, and he looked at the carriage parked behind Chu Nan and the others, full of undisguised disdain, and said with a straight face: "This is not the first time that this king has come to Daliang, and General Yang, Prince Heng is a close friend, he knows where to go, you two are not worthy of talking to this king, and you don't retreat to the side!"

After speaking, the Prince of Montenegro didn't care about Chu Nan and Ou Xiaohua's reactions, waved his hand and ordered someone to lower the curtain, and then, the woman's wheezing and screaming in pain came from inside the car, as well as the undisguised arrogant laughter of the Prince of Montenegro.

Chu Nan's face was gloomy, he had a heart attack but was dragged by Ou Xiaohua, and after a long time, he sighed helplessly, stepped aside and let the carriage pass.
