After Qin Mu returned to the post house, he summoned the people who went to Jiankang together.

"Pack your things immediately and prepare to return to Yecheng."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

An entourage said inexplicably: "My lord, but what went wrong in the negotiation with the monarchs and ministers of the Jin State?" ”

Qin Mu shook his head and said, "There is no shortage of people of insight in the court of the Jin Kingdom. Now the ruling minister of the Jin State is Yu Bing, this person hates my Zhao State deeply, and knows the pros and cons of making peace with my Great Zhao, so it is absolutely impossible for him to agree to sign any covenant with us. And I can already be sure that Yu Bing will never let us leave after understanding my Zhao Guo's intentions. ”

"Your Excellency is saying that Yu Bing will send someone to arrest us?"

"Gotta get out right away!"

Qin Mu guessed right, after they disguised themselves and sneaked away, the soldiers and horses sent by Yu Bing rushed into the post house and searched everywhere for the traces of their group, but unfortunately they turned upside down, but they didn't even see a figure!

Qin Mu and his entourage, who survived the catastrophe, changed their waterways in order to quickly go north and return to Yecheng.

At the same time, Xun Ji, who was in charge of the envoy to Longcheng (present-day Chaoyang City, Liaoning Province), led the mission all the way north.

Xun Ji's mission took the land route, and after the group trekked through mountains and rivers, crossed mountains and mountains, finally crossed Youzhou, arrived in Liaoxi, submitted customs clearance documents in Lingzhi, and then entered the territory of Yan State.

The land of this Yan country is still very barren and desolate, and all the way, the sky is vast and wild, and the wind blows the grass and sees the appearance of cattle and sheep.

"Boom! ......"In the desolate grassland, a huge torrent of iron horses rushed in.

The knights on horseback were all large-shouldered and round-waisted, wearing large felt hats, gray leather armor, animal skins, stirrups on their feet, and brute boots on their feet, all exuding a fierce aura on their bodies.

And the leader of this iron cavalry is a young man who rushed to the front of the team.

"Phew—"

Suddenly encountered this iron cavalry on this vast and boundless prairie, and more than 200 people from Xun Ji's delegation couldn't help but be heartbroken, and formed a formation one after another, in preparation for the unexpected.

There are horse bandits raging on the grassland, and various tribes are constantly killing each other, although the Murong clan has become the overlord of the northeast grassland, but there are many people who disobey, and the Xianbei people are nomadic people, who does not obey the king, and is unruly, who knows if they will do something to kill the messenger?

Xun Ji was indeed startled when he suddenly saw this iron horse, but his expression quickly calmed down.

Although the other party's iron cavalry was menacing and exuding bursts of evil aura, from Xun Ji's point of view, these hundreds of iron cavalry were well-armored and well-equipped, far superior to ordinary grassland tribes. And in this grassland, it is estimated that the only one who can build such an iron cavalry force is the Murong family.

As for whether the comer is an enemy or a friend, this Xun Ji is not easy to judge, after all, the Xianbei people are ambitious, and it is difficult to say whether they will take the opportunity to intercept and kill them.

And in order to protect Xun Ji and his party, Shi Min also sent two hundred elite Longteng guards, even if they can't completely annihilate this cavalry, at least Xun Ji can protect them, or break through.

Soon, this Xianbei cavalry surrounded Xun Ji and his party.

Xun Ji waved his hand calmly and said, "Put up my knots." ”

The young man who commanded this Xianbei wolf rode saw Xun Ji's calm appearance, and he couldn't help but have a look of admiration in his heart.

"I don't know who the master is? Why is it in the way here? Xun Ji stood up without humility or arrogance.

"In the Xia Yan Kingdom, Murong Ke, is the envoy from Yecheng?"

"You are Murong Ke? Yes, it is Xun Ji, the envoy of Zhao State, who has long heard the name of General Murong, but he didn't expect to see it today. ”

Xun Ji had indeed heard of Murong Ke's reputation a long time ago.

Murong Ke was "young and cautious, Shen Shen was generous", he led the army at the age of fifteen, fought in the south and the north, and made many military exploits.

First, he led the army to defeat the more than 200,000 troops of the Zhao State in Changli, and then broke the Zhao army at the Sanzangkou, attacked Goguryeo, and defeated the army of the Yuwen tribe.

Not long ago, it is said that Murong Hao personally led his troops to attack Yuwen Yidougui, with Jianwei's general Murong Han (who returned to Yan in the sixth year of Xiankang) as the forward general and Liu Pei as the deputy general; Ordered Murong Ke and Murong Jun, Murong Ba and Zhichong General Mu Yugen to lead their troops to advance in three ways. In the end, the Yuwen army was defeated, and the Yan army pursued the victory and conquered the capital of the Yuwen clan, Zimengchuan (now northwest of Chaoyang, Liaoning).

Yuwen Yidou was defeated and fled and died in Mobei.

For this young celebrity, a famous general of Yan State who is as famous as Shi Min, it is really difficult for Xun Ji not to admire!

"Lord Xun is polite." Murong Ke's heroic face was full of smiles, and he said, "Regarding the matter of Zhao Guo's envoy, your country has already sent a note to my father. Now the situation in Liangliao is chaotic, the situation is turbulent, and there are many short-sighted tribes on the grassland, so my father sent me to lead the army to the border, so that I could escort my adult and his party to Longcheng. ”

"In this way, there is General Law."

"Lord Xun, please!"

Xun Ji didn't hesitate, so he followed Murong Ke and them on the road.

After observing this Xianbei Iron Cavalry for so long, Xun Ji could conclude that it would not be difficult for Murong Ke to keep him here if he really wanted to.

It takes two days to go from the border of Yan Kingdom to Dragon City, which still needs to be fast.

Along the way, Xun Ji has experienced the customs and customs of western Liaoning, the mountains and rivers and the land, and the chill is getting stronger. The people who live in this land can endure this kind of bad weather, you can imagine how strong their physical fitness must be!

As the saying goes, poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people!

It is this kind of environment that can raise unruly Xianbei people.

It wasn't until the third day that Xun Ji and his entourage arrived in Longcheng.

When entering the gate of Dragon City, Murong Ke said again: "Lord Xun, Dragon City is not as good as Ye City. My Yan country is a bitter cold land, the land is barren, and there are many unruly people. Looking at my Dragon City, you can see it. Lord Xun, my father intends to enter into a treaty of friendship and mutual benefit with your Zhao State to establish trade relations, but there is no shortage of people in my Yan Kingdom who oppose this matter, and I hope that when the time comes, I will ask your Excellency to speak skillfully at the court meeting and refute the opponents. ”

"It's nature."

There is no shortage of people of insight in Yan Country.

Murong Hao, the king of Yan, is a discerning guy, and the trade between Yan and Zhao is undoubtedly a good thing for Yan Guo.

The Yan country was poor, lacking salt, iron, wealth, cloth and silk, but all precious things and some necessities of life were lacking in the Xianbei people, which is why they would go south to graze horses every time autumn and winter turned.

I can't live anymore, so I can only loot to get the necessities of life.
