Chapter 135: The Identity of a Gentile Woman
After some deliberation by Uncle and Sun Tongtong, they really couldn't find a more suitable candidate than Chen Ping, coupled with Chen Ping's painstaking persuasion, Uncle Sun Tong and the three of them could only reluctantly accept Chen Ping's self-recommendation, and agreed to let Chen Ping go to the Mobei Xiongnu Court to secretly contact Hu Yange.
Three days later, Chen Ping embarked on a journey north to Mobei under the escort of a group of Great Qin soldiers disguised as merchants.
On the day after Chen Ping left Ganzhou City, the group of foreign men and horses that Chen Ping saw at the gate of Ganzhou City handed a greeting note to Shusun Tong, it turned out that they were the envoys of the Mauryan Dynasty, and they were sent to Daqin on the order of the king Relic Yijia.
Speaking of the relics to send a mission, it is also thanks to the two ancient books "Mahabharata" and "Ramayana", in which an ancient oriental kingdom called Cīna is recorded, and there are various rumors about Cīna in the Peacock Kingdom, the most amazing thing is that there is a miracle medicine in the ancient country of Cīna, and people can live for 500 years if they eat it. Out of the diligent pursuit of longevity, Sheli Shengjia sent a large number of missions around the Peacock Kingdom in an attempt to find the ancient kingdom called Cīna, including this treasure hunting mission that had entered the city of Ganzhou in the territory of Great Qin.
Searching northwest along the Himalayas, the mission successfully bypassed the Himalayas, then traveled south along the Chipchap River, and finally plunged headlong into the land west of the Great Qin. In fact, the Great Qin mission led by Han Chuan to make the Peacock King Chao took the same path, but it was the opposite of the path taken by the Peacock Kingdom mission.
Out of diplomatic etiquette, Shusun Tong met with the leader of the Peacock Kingdom mission in the lobby of the Duhu Mansion, and then Shusun Tong hosted a banquet in the Duhu Mansion to entertain all the personnel of the mission, and it was strange that Chen Ping did not see the stunning woman that Chen Ping saw at the gate of Ganzhou that day.
On the day after Shusun Tong's banquet, this Peacock Kingdom delegation took the customs declaration documents forwarded by Shusun Tong and headed towards the hinterland of Great Qin.
……
After the mission had left the city of Ganzhou some distance, a handsome young man jumped off his horse and got into the carriage that accompanied him.
This person was actually the stunning woman Chen Ping saw at the city gate that day, and she only disguised herself as a man after entering Ganzhou City. The reason why this woman wanted to dress as a man was also a last resort, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble.
It turned out that this delegation came all the way from the Peacock Kingdom, traveled nearly 10,000 miles, and passed through more than a dozen countries, large and small, among which there were many prodigal princes and sons of various countries who coveted this woman's beauty, and of course, it also caused some unnecessary trouble. After seeing a lot, this woman was a little unbearable, so she started to dress as a man.
When the woman sat back in the car, one of the guards on the side of the car said, "Princess, this shouldn't be the ancient country of Cīna, right?" In the past few days I have been looking around in this great city, and I have not seen anyone who has lived to be 500 years old. ”
"Alas, how can there be a person in this world who can live to be 500 years old, it is not what Brother Wang imagined, you have to remember that there is no longevity medicine in this world at all. In fact, I have one more thing to prove on this trip, that is, whether the Peacock Kingdom is the largest country in the world. Princess Sonam Bye, who was sitting in the car, said with a determined gaze.
"Princess, if you want me to say that you shouldn't run out secretly, I don't know how many people will be punished by the king because of your escape." The guard sighed helplessly.
