The accommodation arranged by Honglu Temple for various countries is exquisite, but it is not first-come, first-served, nor is it based on the distance of relations, but is strictly distributed according to the strength of each country.

The largest of these countries was the Western Turks, but he was not the strongest, the strongest was Goguryeo. It's not because Goguryeo is really stronger than the Western Turks, it's because Goguryeo fought with the Tang Dynasty head-on, and even the former Sui three expeditions to Goguryeo didn't win, and in terms of reputation, Goguryeo is a big country that can sit on an equal footing with the Tang Dynasty.

But why did Goguryeo Da whisper so much to Lu Yuan Gai Suwen in front of the emperor? Self-proclaimed subordinates? Is it because of humility and politeness?

Of course not, in one word - shameless! Crying children have milk to eat, and lowering their posture can be exchanged for more benefits.

Goguryeo was followed by the Western Turks, then not Gochang or Baekje, but Tubo in the southwest, then Ghochang, and finally Baekje.

After each of them stayed at the pavilion arranged by Honglu Temple, Baekje was responsible for running errands for Goguryeo, contacting various countries to get together and discuss, everyone was here to marry the princess and relatives, but not to stand up, it was best to help each other, and each of them married a princess back.

But when I walked to the Western Turkic side, I found that people were transporting things to the country, car by car, how did it look like moving?

"What? This is going back? The deputy envoy of Baekje grabbed one of the Western Turks and asked.

"Go back? No, no, no, our Great Khan is going to Chang'an to visit friends, and this is a gift. ”

Gift?

The eyes of the people of Baekje are wide open, this, so much?

"You don't look like you're visiting friends, it's more like you're giving gifts to the emperor."

"No, no, the one given to the Tang Emperor has been directly pulled away by the Honglu Temple, as much as this, this is for the Tang Dynasty Champion Hou."

Who? Champion Hou? How? Do you know each other?

"Hehe, everyone knows the champion Hou of the Tang Dynasty, but it's not easy to imagine him, you guys are so fanfare, will you run in vain?" The people of Baekje are also well-intentioned.

The man glanced at the other party, "What country is Your Excellency from?" ”

"Deputy Envoy in Lower Baekje."

"Hehe, no wonder, you are in the middle of nowhere, and it's normal to not know." The Nasi Turks chatted with each other while directing the carrying of gifts.

The people of Baekje became even more curious, "Please give me advice." ”

The Western Turks said proudly: "As early as when the Tang Dynasty Champion Hou was not the Champion Hou, my Khan knew him, who in the world does not know that our Western Turkic Khan is the life and death friend of the Champion Hou?" ”

Forehead......

The life and death of the champion Hou? Will it be the Western Turks? Did the Tang Emperor know?

Looking at the departing gift-giving procession of the Western Turks, the people of Baekje didn't know whether to envy or question for a while, and they couldn't even bother to send the letter, so they hurried back to find the prince to report the news.

The people of the Western Turks still did the work, knowing that the champion Hou Xiaorui lived in Xiaojiazhuang outside the city all the year round, and now he was grounded again, so they went straight to Xiaojiazhuang outside the city.

It's a pity that they were targeted when they walked twenty miles away, and they were stopped ten miles away, a heavily armed hundred-man cavalry team startled them.

Mo Helu personally drove forward, "Ladies and gentlemen, I am the Western Turkic Khan, and I went to visit the Tang Dynasty Champion Hou, not a villain." Dare I ask you? ”

The centurion of the cavalry on the opposite side walked out and arched his hand: "It turned out to be Mo He Da Khan, disrespectful!" We are the guards responsible for protecting the champion Hou, this Xiaojiazhuang is the private territory of the Hou Ye within a radius of ten miles, and you can't go forward when you get here. If you want to visit the Hou Ye, you can send someone to send a visit three days in advance. ”

This???

"Great Khan, it's not easy for us to come out, we can't wait another three days, right?" The deputy whispered.

Mo Helu's heart was even more respectful, the secret path champion Hou is really extraordinary, he is too honored and favored in the Tang Dynasty, a territory within a radius of ten miles next to Chang'an? And there are also private cavalry guards? Gee......

"This general, my Khan has been a personal friend with your marquis for many years, and please report it, and say that the Western Turk Mohelu Khan wants to see him. Hou Ye will definitely see you. The deputy envoy spoke.

The other party shook his head and said: "This is impossible, my Hou Ye has always been clean and self-conscious, and it is impossible to have personal relations with foreign countries, please go back, it will be bad for our Hou Ye's reputation to spread it." ”

Mo He explained with a smile: "The general is a member of the army, so he should have heard about the incident of the champion Hou Wanli's attack on the grassland that year, and it was we who met in the Western Turks that year, this is not a lie. General Lao drove to report it, and if we can't see it, we'll wait here. ”

As he spoke, he gave his subordinates a look, and his subordinates understood, and hurriedly gave a gift.

The other party was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, everyone, please wait on the spot, we will send someone to report." ”

"There is no need for gifts, Hou Ye's soldiers are all backbone, and they dare not embarrass Hou Ye."

As soon as these words came out, the Turkic people were in awe, and Mo Helu was even more satisfied.

In Xiaojiazhuang, Xiao Rui was reading a book, and he quickly smiled after receiving Li Junxian's report, "I was still thinking about when to look for him, but he took the initiative to come to the door, it seems that this Mo Helu is sensible." ”

Li Junxian nodded and said: "After the unification of the Western Turks, after the development of the past few years, the strength has been very strong, and it is inevitable that ordinary people will be arrogant. ”

Xiao Rui put down the book in his hand, got up and said, "Let's go, fifth brother, go and meet this Western Turk Khan for a while." ”

Not long after, Li Junxian came with a team of people quickly, "Which one is Mo Hedu Khan?" ”

The cavalry centurion who blocked the way saluted, and then led the way to introduce, this is it.

"The Great Khan has been waiting for a long time, and my lord is invited."

"The general is?"

"Under Li Junxian, the deputy general of the Xuanjia Army, he is the personal guard of the Hou Ye, and is in charge of all the defense of Xiaojiazhuang."

Xuanjia Army? The famous Xuanjia Army? The strongest army in the world?

"And they? It's all the Xuanjia Army? ”

Li Junxian smiled and said, "With the grace of Your Majesty, the Xuanjia Army is now responsible for protecting the Hou Ye. Great Khan, please come down. ”

"Come on, let the brethren of the Western Turks rest for a while, and you will take over the cart."

Xiao Rui stood politely at the entrance of the village, saw Mo Helu's horse team from a distance, and slowly walked over.

"That's? Hou Ye? Mo He panicked, turned over and dismounted, and ran up in three steps and two steps.

"Hahahaha, Lao Mo, I haven't seen you for many years, but I miss death."

"Hou Ye, Hou Ye! I've seen you. ”

The two hugged each other tightly like a pair of old friends.

Xiao Rui directly took Mo Helu's hand, "Let's go, talk at home, you are a big sweater, I'm afraid it's not easy to go out, it's rare for you to come and stay at home for a few more days, I've already arranged it." ”

"No, no, no, it's too annoying, Honglu Temple has already arranged a place to stay......"

"What are you afraid of? In the grassland, you arranged it for me, and when I arrived in Chang'an, of course, I arranged it, not polite. ”

Walking to the entrance of the village, Mo Helu sighed: "Master Hou, you have beautiful mountains and rivers here, you are really a fairy residence, envy others!" Hey? The old man fishing over there, is it Ling Zun? Then I have to pay a visit, you and my brother, Ling Zun is my old Mo's uncle......"

Forehead...... That's not my father, but you really should pay a visit.

Xiao Rui led the way over.
