Chapter 245: Absolutely Beautiful
Song Liangchen was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and his eyes gradually flashed with a little green starlight, and he snorted and said: "Then it's a fucking pleasure! It's like going to a kiln and getting into any girl's bed, and you don't even have to give money when it's over." I'm going to be born in the country of Dongnu, and I'm sure I'll have a good time with twenty women in one night!"
Xiao Yunhe was amused by Song Liangchen: "That place is very evil by outsiders. It is said that it is the legendary 'man's paradise'. In fact, where is there such a cheap thing. In the eyes of those women, men are at most just playthings, or rather, tools for inheritance. To put it mildly, it's no different from foot pigs and stallions. ”
Song Liangchen was stunned for a moment, and took a sip of hatred: "Foot pigs, stallions?!—— it's better to be born in Daqi." ”
In the early morning of the second day, Xiao Yunhe called Song Liangchen and led a team of entourage to the nine gates of the national capital to inspect the city defense. After the bloody battle of Xuanwu Gate, there were only twenty-eight people around Xiao Yunhe, and only eleven people remained. plus Song Liangchen and Gao Gu, these people are the thirteen closest confidants around Xiao Yunhe. Xiao Yunhe always took them with him and kept them intimate, calling them 'Iron Blood Thirteen'.
A group of ten people rode horses and walked on the streets of the national capital in the early morning. Xiao Yunhe's golden armor and red robe are particularly eye-catching. The people of the national capital saw it from afar, and they all bowed their hands and greeted them from afar. Xiao Yunhe rode his horse and returned the salute with them one by one.
He enjoyed the feeling. But it's not because of how stylish and magnificent, this feeling of being recognized and appreciated by others is very useful. It must have been notorious for a general in the capital at the beginning. Now, Tong Guò's own efforts have finally changed that. This gave Xiao Yunhe a little comfort.
Li Sheng commanded the Shence Army, responsible for the deployment of men and horses to defend the nine gates of the national capital, and all the work was well organized, which made Xiao Yunhe very satisfied. The defense of the Nine Gates was orderly, and the opening and closing times of the city gates were very precise and not ambiguous at all. The soldiers defending the city and the people in the past also respected each other, which was not at all the arrogance that Zhu Jun had when he was in power. The people also have a good impression of this royal teacher, and they get along very well with each other.
This qiē is a good phenomenon. When the country's army is recognized and supported by the people, then the army will inevitably be invincible and invincible. Xiao Yunhe secretly felt a little happy in his heart.
After inspecting the nine gates of the national capital. The sun was already shining, and it was almost noon. Originally, I planned to go out of the city to the military camp outside the city to inspect the Shuofang military land, but I didn't expect that it would take a lot of time to inspect the Jiumen. Xiao Yunhe calculated the time, and temporarily decided that he had to go to the military camp outside the city tomorrow to inspect. Because there is still an important thing to do today - yesterday I also promised the envoy of the East Woman Kingdom to go to Honglu Temple to meet the little queen of the East Woman Country!
For Honglu Temple, Xiao Yunhe can be said to know everything about it. This is a special yamen opened by Daqi to receive foreign guests. From the time of Zhenguan. Daqi adheres to the national policy of openness and inclusiveness, and has attracted countless foreign envoys to come to pay respects. Many foreign envoys brought scholars, family members, and servants, including some members of the royal family themselves, who were reluctant to leave when they arrived in Daqi, so they lived in Honglu Temple. In the past 100 years, Honglu Temple has a permanent population of more than 4,000 people. It was all foreign envoys, superiors, and so on. The annual expenditure of the imperial court on food and clothing for these people is already a lot of money. Especially in recent years, the Great Qi River has become financially constrained, and the residents of Honglu Temple are no longer as leisurely as before. Some time ago, Zhu Zhu rebelled, and the people in Honglu Temple were even more panicked. Although Zhu Jun did not embarrass these foreign envoys much, he did not give them any care. Come to think of it, these people have lived a hard life for a long time.
The little queen of the East Female Kingdom has lived in Honglu Temple for almost a year. What kind of life will it be? Xiao Yunhe thought to himself secretly for a while, and thought with a wry smile and helplessness: The country's fortune is not good, and the envoys from foreign countries. There is definitely no enjoyment and treatment when Zhenguan came to the court. Whether you can eat a full meal or not is probably a problem. This is really a thing that is detrimental to the national dignity and national body......
Xiao Yunhe and his entourage entered the Vermilion Bird Gate of the Imperial City. Honglu Temple is located on the east side of Chengtianmen Street, not far from Suzaku Gate. The officials in Honglu Temple, Zhu Zhu did not replace. I don't seem to care much about this place. The guards were the soldiers of the Shence Army, and when they saw Xiao Yunhe, they naturally didn't even save the interrogation, and they all stood straight and shouted in unison: "Big handsome!"
As soon as Xiao Yunhe stepped into Honglu Temple, the officials of all sizes greeted him and saluted in unison. Xiao Yunhe comforted them a little bit, and asked one of them, "Is there an envoy from the Dongnu Kingdom who lives here?"
"Back to my lord, there is. "Honglu Siqing, a member of the four-rank courtiers. A fifty-year-old man replied, "I live in the Honglu Inn." If you want to summon you. and he went and called the messenger to come. ”
"No need. Xiao Yunhe said, "You lead the way, and I will go and meet you in person." Although the Dongnu Kingdom is a small barbarian country, it is not far away, and the envoys who come to the place are also the princes of a country. I am a country of Chinese etiquette, and we can't abolish the number of etiquette. ”
"Your Excellency is right. Please ...... here" Honglu Siqing led the way in front and took Xiao Yunhe towards the Honglu Inn. Xiao Yunhe and the others followed him into a courtyard facing east, and saw a large number of houses in the forest, which was the Honglu Guest House for the envoys of various countries to live. From Zhenguan to Kaiyuan and Tianbao, the national strength of Daqi is getting stronger and stronger, and the envoys of the countries who come to Daqi are increasing day by day. In order to highlight the atmosphere of the Celestial Empire, the Great Qi Dynasty built many gorgeous and spacious houses for these people to live in, and the clothes and food were even more luxurious. It's no wonder that many people don't want to go back when they come. But now it seems that the houses in the Honglu Inn are a little old, and some weeds still grow in many places, which look a little messy and dilapidated. Wearing various colors of clothing and different hair colors and skins, the foreign Hu people wandered around sporadically, their expressions were no longer so leisurely, and they were a little more lonely and bored.
The group walked for about a stick of incense before arriving in front of a row of large pavilion tile houses with arches and cornices. This is the residence of the envoys of the Eastern Female Kingdom. There are at least twenty or thirty rooms in this row of large tiled houses, plus some ear rooms and side halls for people to live, which is enough to accommodate more than 100 people.
Xiao Yunhe asked his entourage to wait outside the room, and took Song Liangchen and Honglu Siqing into the courtyard. happened to meet two small officials coming out with food boxes, and it seemed that they had just finished delivering lunch to the envoys of the Eastern Women's Kingdom. Xiao Yunhe stopped a few people, opened the food box and took a look, there were still some leftover brown rice, steamed buns and vegetable leaves on the plate, it seems that the people of Dongnu Country live in Honglu Pavilion, and the food is not very good, just able to wrap their stomachs.
"Is that all they eat?" Xiao Yunhe asked Honglu Siqing.
Honglu Temple Qing bowed his head and bowed his hand with some embarrassment: "My lord, at the moment, the finances in Honglu Temple are insufficient, and it is already done to be able to provide white rice and white noodles." The officials of Daqi who served here could only barely eat some dry noodles and steamed buns to satisfy their hunger. In comparison, the treatment of the envoys of various countries is already good. ”
"Hmm......" Xiao Yunhe replied sullenly, suppressed the depression in his heart, and walked into the courtyard with his feet raised.
In front of the lobby of the main hall, several tall and rough-looking men were standing there on duty. All of them had a fur dress straddling it, revealing half of it
The firm chest comes. The fur skirt fell to the ground about an inch above the knee, and the feet were bare. At the waist of each person, there is a long sword with a strange shape. There is an aura of fierceness and savagery all over the body.
It seems that these people are the samurai guards of the Eastern Woman Country.
Xiao Yunhe and the others approached, and one of the warriors stepped forward to block them, staring at Xiao Yunhe and the others with very vigilant eyes, and said something they didn't understand.
Song Liangchen stared at the man like a monster for a while, and said with a smile: "What kind of bird language does this barbarian say?"
The Honglu Siqing hurriedly said: "The general doesn't know that Dongnuguo uses Tianzhu's writing and language. The guard spoke Sanskrit. My lord, this is the captain of the guard of the East Woman Country. He was asking who we were. ”
Xiao Yunhe looked at the man and smiled slightly, and said to Honglu Siqing: "Sue him: King Han of Great Qi, specially came to meet the little queen of the East Female Kingdom." ”
Honglu Siqing was about to speak, but the door of the main hall was opened, and a string of silver bell-like voices came from inside: "Welcome to Lord Han Wang!" Then they heard a string of Sanskrit words, and those warriors also stepped aside in some surprise, kowtowed to Xiao Yunhe and the others, and shouted some words in their mouths, probably meaning welcome and salute.
Immediately afterwards, a hot woman appeared at the door of the room, bending down to Xiao Yunhe with her hands folded. As soon as Song Liangchen saw this woman. couldn't help but smirk, and said in a low voice: "My lord, it's the little goblin from yesterday!"
"Shut ......up," Xiao Yunhe scolded him, took a few steps forward and arched his hand to the woman, "There is a noble envoy to greet you." Today, the king came to meet the little queen. ”
The woman glanced up at Xiao Yunhe, couldn't hide her excitement and excitement, and said with a coquettish smile: "The little queen was originally going to come out to greet her in person. But I heard that the adults deigned to come, and they were changing their clothes to greet them. I'm afraid you've been waiting outside the door for a long time. So he sent his subordinates out to greet him. Lord Han, please don't blame it!"
"It doesn't matter. Xiao Yunhe smiled generously, "Your envoy, please lead the way, this king will go in to meet the little queen." ”
"Your Excellency, please wait. The woman hurriedly dodged into the room first, and took out a bamboo basket containing a pile of white and elegant flower petals. She reached out and grabbed a handful of petals. sprinkled a piece in front of Xiao Yunhe's feet, and then said, "Your Excellency, please move your steps, and the lower official will lead the way." ”
"Yo?" Xiao Yunhe couldn't help but feel a little fresh. The custom of welcoming guests in this eastern female country is really a little weird. Sprinkle the petals of the flowers on the ground and let the guests step on them and walk. Since it's a custom, it's casual. Xiao Yunhe stepped on it with his feet and followed the woman towards the inner hall.
Honglu Siqing, who stopped outside the door, was a little surprised, and muttered to himself: "Dongnu Kingdom actually welcomes the King of Han with such a grand ceremony......
Song Liangchen also stayed outside the door. I couldn't help but feel a little annoyed that I couldn't go in and see the mysterious queen. Hear the words of Honglu Siqing. He said in a rough voice: "What's the big deal, isn't it just stepping on a few flowers? It's just lying on the ground where a naked woman sleeps and lets the adults step on it." It's not necessarily a big deal!"
Honglu Siqing's face trembled for a while, and he turned his face away to ignore this rough guy, and secretly scolded in his heart: Rough man!
Xiao Yunhe walked all the way, and the woman sprinkled flower petals on the ground all the way, leading him to the round door of the inner hall. A curtain of pink tulle hangs from the round arch, and a string of chimes hangs from it. Facing the autumn breeze flowing in at the door of the room, the tulle and wind chimes dance gently together, quite a bit of leisure and elegance.
Behind the tulle. I vaguely saw a person standing there slimly, bending down to Xiao Yunhe through the tulle. He whispered softly: "It is not late autumn, but there is a southeast wind. Sure enough, it was a noble person from the Northwest. Dongnu Kingdom's 'Xiao Bin', I have seen the King of the Han Dynasty of Daqi. If you miss the distance, please forgive me!"
In this speech, the words are like pearls falling on a silver plate, and they are said crisply and tactfully, and the words are correct and round. It's actually a very authentic official dialect of Daqi Guanzhong. Between the words and conversations, there is an air of elegance and nobility like a poem.
Xiao Yunhe then remembered that the queen of the Eastern Women's Kingdom called herself 'Bin', which is generally used on more formal occasions. Xiao Yunhe was also a little curious about this 'little guest' behind the tulle, listening to her words, as if he still knew and was familiar with the culture of the Han people, and his words and gestures were neither humble nor arrogant, but he was thoughtful in etiquette. It is not easy for a Hu woman like her, who lives in the wilderness, to be able to speak Chinese like a famous lady in Daqi.
Xiao Yunhe also bowed back, and Lang Lang said, "You don't have to be polite. This king takes the liberty to disturb, and if he invites guests, he will not be responsible. ”
"Your Excellency's words are serious. Xiao Bin is looking forward to the treasure of the adult, like the thirst for the plum and the rain, how can you talk about presumptuousness?" The little queen stood up, raised her hand lightly at the leading female officer beside Xiao Yunhe, and said softly: "Tang Naba, please come into the inner room of Lord Hanwang." Xiao Bin has to talk to the adults in detail. ”
Naha, that is, the name of the only female official in the East Female Country. Tang's Naha shows that this little goblin who led Xiao Yunhe is surnamed 'Tang'. Xiao Yunhe couldn't help but remember that there was a record in the annals of history that someone from the Tang family of the Eastern Female Kingdom had been a queen, which could be regarded as a big surname in this country.
Tang Shi responded very respectfully, took a jade staff to lift the tulle door curtain, and bent down to Xiao Yunhe and raised his hand to guide: "Lord Hanwang, please." ”
The little queen behind the tulle was also completely revealed in front of Xiao Yunhe at this time. On her face, there was a smile like a spring breeze. That kind of laughter, in the eyes of a man like Xiao Yunhe, who has read countless women, seems to have some intoxicating magic.
What's more, the woman in front of him is really too perfect! If Song Liangchen, a reckless person, saw the little queen of the East Girl Country in front of him, he might have a nosebleed and fell to the ground on the spot, and he wouldn't even glance at the Tang 'little goblin'.
Xiao Yunhe arched his hand and smiled lightly at the little queen: "Then the king is rude!" After that, he walked into the little queen's boudoir with a proud step.
Xiao Yunhe had to marvel a little in his heart, the little guest in front of him did have a fascinating charm. If the female officer Tang Shi I saw before was a very pure wild beauty that seduced and sinned, then the woman in front of her was a perfect blend of elegance and wildness.
Her immaculate face alone is enough to make most men's hearts beat faster and fall into obsession. Her face is not as round as a goose egg like a common woman in the Central Plains, but has some sharp edges and corners, but it does not look abrupt and rough, and her facial lines are very soft. The complexion is as white as mutton fat pearl, faintly revealing some red glow. The most eye-catching thing is the typical pair of bright phoenix eyes. The eyelids are coated with a layer of light blue light and shadow, and at the corners of the eyes are obliquely flowing towards the clouds and temples, and there are some shallow and uniform golden strips in the light blue. This makes him look like he has a lot of charming, but her eyes have always been very calm, confident and dignified, revealing a lot of wisdom and kindness. At first glance, a pair of starry eyes shone brightly, just like smoke waves. And her pupils also have some light blue that is unique to the Hu people, like a clear Hong that attracts people's thoughts. The bridge of her nose is a little tall compared to the women in the Central Plains, the tip of her nose is delicate, and there seems to be a flame jumping between her smooth red lips, which makes people always have the urge to kiss it. on the ears. It is a strange earring made of extremely long gold silk green beads, which almost falls on the pink and white tender skin of the fragrant shoulder.
Xiao Yunhe has seen more than 10 million beauties. But he searched for dry intestines, and he didn't seem to think of a face that could compare to the woman in front of him. There is an indescribable holiness on that face, but there is a mature beauty with wild desire. And this woman seems to be very good at dressing, outlining her curvy and hot figure just right. Xiao Yunhe knew. The woman in front of her is a typical queen of the East Female Kingdom. On his head, there is a crown of gold and jade with mille-feuille petals, and a few colorful peacock feathers are inserted. The blue sleeveless leather robe, the edge of the garment is decorated with fiery red fur edges, revealing the smooth and plump fragrant shoulders. He was dressed in a long and ground-length blue brocade robe, and his lower body was a pair of green culottes tightly wrapped around round jade legs. It had just reached above the knees, revealing the tinks that were as smooth as ivory. The snow-white and unblemished ankles, round and full, each wore a thin gold chain with small emerald green gems. On his feet, he wore a pair of delicate bamboo shoes decorated with silver silk, each with a pale pink petal, which seemed to be carved from agate or some other gemstone.
Xiao Yunhe smiled secretly in his heart and thought: Fortunately, Song Liangchen was not allowed to come in. Otherwise, seeing such a beauty, wouldn't you be stupid and ashamed?
Because this woman, if she is only extremely beautiful and has a delicate figure, it will be fine. But her cyan leather robe was on the chest, and there was a heart-shaped neckline. Half of the full and white chest is exposed. With deep cleavage and breasts that are about to come out, I don't know how many men's ambitions to bury. Besides. She was actually dressed quite tightly, but there was a wild and sexy appeal coming out of her body. It can make people want to move.
The little goblin offered each of them a cup of tea, and then bowed out.
The little queen waved her hands lightly, smiled and said, "My lord, please use tea." We have lived in a remote place in the southwest for a long time, and we do not have the broad and profound civilization and education of the Central Plains. If there is any offense to the etiquette and customs, please also ask the adults to be thousands of people. ”
"Bing is too serious, but we don't have to worry about too much red tape. Daqi has also always advocated Hanyi blind dates, and we should get along like a family. Besides, the king didn't feel anything wrong. It's too polite to be a guest. Xiao Yunhe picked up the teacup and took a sip, but found that there were no tea leaves in the teacup. Rather, it's something like a flower petal. Drink it with a fragrant fragrance that makes people feel refreshed.
"This is our flower tea. The smile on the little queen's face was as light as a lotus, and she lightly opened her red lips and said leisurely, "Although it is not as famous as Daqi's famous tea, it also has a clear and chic taste." I hope you enjoy it. ”
"Not bad. Xiao Yunhe smiled, put down the teacup and said, "Bin came to Daqi thousands of miles away, but unfortunately he stayed here for as long as a year, and the matter was not done. I am deeply sorry and ask for your understanding. ”
The little queen smiled at the corners of her mouth, revealing a pair of shallow dimples and white pearl-like teeth, and said slowly: "Actually, before I came, I knew that it was unlikely that this trip would be successful. My lord is the first great husband I have seen since I came to the Central Plains, and he is also a person who understands practical things, so I will not tell the truth under false pretenses. The territory lost by Daqi in the Tuyuhun area, judging from the current situation of Daqi, it will take some time to recover. It's just that the Tubo war is bullying, which is really unbearable for our people, and life is even more difficult to the extreme, and we almost have to move our clan to avoid disaster. So I came to Daqi knowing that I couldn't do anything to see if I could find a glimmer of hope. I didn't expect it, but it happened to be the chaos of the Great Qi Emperor, and I was about to despair at that time. Fortunately, a few days ago, I heard that the Great Qi raised the royal division to recover the imperial capital, and it was gratifying to fight all the way, so I regained hope and waited until the adults defeated the rebel party to recover the Beijing division. Recently, I heard that the one who led the royal division to break through the national capital and eradicate the rebels overnight was actually the young prince of Daqi - that is, you, my lord, who lived in the Sinong Temple not far from the Honglu Temple in the imperial city, and I was even more ecstatic. So he immediately sent the Tang clan Naha to ask for a letter of state. If there is any presumptuousness, please do not blame it. ”
"Don't be so polite. Xiao Yunhe waved his hand, smiled and said, "Since the Eastern Women's Kingdom is a friendly and neighborly country of Daqi, I really should draw a sword to help." It's just that Bin just said that with the current situation of Daqi, if you want to defeat Tubo in a short period of time and recover the territory of Tuyuhun and the southwest, I am afraid that it will be a little difficult for a while. The main purpose of my visit today is to give Bin a clear answer: in a short period of time, Daqi may not raise troops to the southwest. ”
Although the little queen knew that this was an inevitable result, her eyes also showed some disappointment that she couldn't hide, and she sighed lightly and said, "This is also expected." However, the Lord is indeed a sincere and honest person, unlike the other Great Qi eunuchs I have seen. In fact, a long time ago, the monarch of Daqi did not receive us, so we went to visit some ministers of the current dynasty in private. They are always slick and clever and don't talk about the topic, and they prevaricate with clever words. The fact that adults can speak so bluntly also shows that they are frank and honest. ”
Xiao Yunhe also showed some shame: "I'm sorry. Bin waited
, but to get such an answer. Although I am now the commander of the national capital and have 100,000 horses, I cannot lightly make any decisions that affect the national fortunes and national policies. However, Daqi will definitely prosper day by day, and it is not impossible to recover the territory. When the time comes, it is natural that troops will be raised to seek justice for the Dongnu Kingdom. ”
"That's it. The little queen smiled faintly and said, "Although there are some disappointments and regrets, I believe that Daqi has such pillars as adults, and the majesty of the world is just around the corner." Before that, I had to let my people endure for the time being, waiting for the righteous king of Daqi to save us from the sea of suffering. In fact, Tibet has been bullying us for more than 100 years. Before, it was just to ask for some treasured specialties or cloth, cattle and sheep. The place where we live is already located in a remote and barren land, and the people are even poorer, and their self-sufficiency is still insufficient, but they have no choice but to bear it silently. In recent years, Tubo not only wants us to pay tribute, but also wants us to offer beautiful women...... The adults are erudite and talented, and they must know that our Dongnu country is dominated by women. If the women were to be dedicated to Tibet, our entire country would be completely lost. ”
"Hmm...... Tibet is now becoming more and more powerful, and it seems that it not only covets the rich Central Plains, but also the small barren states. Xiao Yunhe sighed a little indignantly, and shook his head helplessly, "But for now, to be honest...... Even the Great Qi was not enough to compete with it in an all-out war. This is also the brutal truth before us. "Xiao Yunhe knows the legend about this place in the East Female Country. It's been a lot. Although it is located in a remote area, it may be the kind of unique scenery and beautiful mountains and rivers, and the women born are all as beautiful as fairies. It is said that it is extremely difficult to pick out an ugly girl there. Although the rumors are not enough to believe it all, it also seems that this place is indeed rich in beautiful women. Tubo is located in the extremely cold land of the plateau, and the women mainly eat meat and drink milk, and they are not good at dressing up. Generally rough or ugly. Every time the Tubo people invade Daqi, robbing the women of the Central Plains is also one of the things that must be done, and it is not difficult to imagine that they will force the Eastern Women's Kingdom to offer beautiful women.
The little queen sighed lightly, lowered her head slightly, and whispered with a slight smile: "Then I...... I can only wait. Waiting until that day, the Great Qi raised the king to go to conquer Tibet and regain the lost territory. I have the face to go back to my people. Your Excellency, you may not know something. Rudely Tubo actually wanted me to ...... I, the little guest of the Eastern Female Country, went to their Zampu as a concubine. I have heard that the Tibetans are brutal, domineering, strong and terrifying, and they like to share a wife with several brothers at the same time...... Although our Eastern Women's Country is not as good as the Central Plains Etiquette State that advocates mutual respect between husband and wife and behavior inspection, we have always respected the feelings of both parties and do not do things that are difficult for us. There are many people who have only one Jiayi in their lives, or only marry one girl's family. So. All of us are sworn to death. Our queen Tang Lixi even asked her daughter Tang Zidi, the Tang Naha that adults had seen, to accompany me. Escaped overnight and came to Daqi to ask for assistance. If you can't bring back the king master of Daqi. I had to end up alone in the Central Plains......"
"So that's ......" Xiao Yunhe's brows furrowed, and he couldn't help but feel a little pity for the woman in front of him. The little queen, who was extremely dignified and sexy just now, also looks very pitiful when it comes to sad things at this moment. There was some resentment and helplessness between the eyebrows, and there seemed to be some tears in the eyes.
Xiao Yunhe thought in his heart: It seems that this little queen came to Daqi not only to ask for help, but also to flee. The Tibetan people don't know how they caught a glimpse of such a big beauty. Naming her by name to take her to the plateau to enjoy...... In fact, the matter between the two countries, if it is just a woman, can be temporarily calmed down. It can't be said that it is not cost-effective. But this woman is the little queen of the East Female Kingdom, which means a different thing to them. This is like asking the prince of Daqi to go to Tubo as a hostage and be humiliated. How can such a thing be done? It is no wonder that the East Women's Congress is opposed by the whole family. Since she has arrived in Daqi, there is no reason for me to let her suffer any more grievances, even if she can't raise troops to help, she should at least settle her well, and then see the situation later.
As for whether Tubo will use this as an excuse to provoke Daqi? Xiao Yunhe sneered in his heart: If they want to come, they will come. In fact, Tubo and Daqi have been fighting for so many years, and they never need any real excuse to fight and make peace. If such a big country as Daqi can't even protect a woman who comes to ask for help, it will be even more humiliating than losing the country!
Thinking of this, Xiao Yunhe said to the little queen: "Bin doesn't have to worry about it. You can live in peace in the capital first. In time, if Daqi can really raise troops to ask Tubo for sin, this king will definitely personally take charge of your affairs. Until then, I will guarantee your absolute safety. ”
In fact, Xiao Yunhe did this not out of anger and manhood to the little queen or the East Female Kingdom. Daqi wants to revive and recover the territory, which is his greatest wish at Xiao Yunhe's moment. At that time, if you really want to go to war with the Tubo Xingjun, Dongnu Kingdom can be a good ally or an excuse and opportunity to go to war. Keeping her will definitely be beneficial when the time comes. This is also for the sake of profit. In his mind, he was always inseparable from the theme of Daqi's military strategy and the overall situation of the country. said that he was fascinated by the little queen in front of him and patted his chest in a daze, which was not his Xiao Yunhe's habit.
"Then thank you, Lord Han. Great kindness, there is really no way to repay!" The little queen suddenly became happy, and the smile on her face became brighter and brighter. She stood up gracefully, walked to the side and personally picked up a pot of flowers, brought it to Xiao Yunhe, and said, "My lord, this is a unique camellia in our Dongnu country, and it is also a gift we give to our most distinguished guests. The name of this flower is 'Heart Moon Fairy', and it is crowned with the name of the Twenty-Eight Heart Moon Fox, symbolizing auspiciousness and well-being. I give her to adults, and I hope they will like it. ”
Xiao Yunhe stood up and took the pot of chic and elegant flowers, and said with a smile: "Thank you, the king will be ashamed." ”
"Adults, don't call 'Bin' one by one, it will sound like a life, and you Han people will definitely feel a little awkward and awkward when you call it. The little queen smiled shallowly, looked at Xiao Yunhe with bright eyes, and said in a low voice: "You can call me 'Moyi'." That's my name. Actually, I've always liked to be called by my first name. Especially, friends. ”
The queen personally sent Xiao Yunhe to the door, and then took everyone around her with her hands folded in front of her chest, bent down to salute and say goodbye. Dongnu Kingdom is deeply influenced by the Buddhist culture of Tianzhu, and the salutes and greetings are all like this. Especially when women wear costumes to salute people, they always give people a sense of dignity and holiness. Occasionally, I will bow down, but I just came to the Central Plains to follow the customs.
Xiao Yunhe handed over the pot of 'Heart Moon Fairy' to Song Liangchen to hold, and the group walked out of the Honglu Inn. The Honglu Siqing chattered beside Xiao Yunhe and said, "My lord, I have a good understanding of the customs and etiquette of the Dongnu Kingdom. Their guests never show their true faces to outsiders, and often wear pink veils and talk to people behind the scenes. Only when the most distinguished or close guests are received are they invited to the queen's boudoir. Also, when the adults entered, they sprinkled flowers to guide the way, which is also the grandest etiquette, which is equivalent to the whole of our Daqi kneeling to welcome the grand ceremony. This kind of camellia is the national flower of the East Female Country, and it has always been given only to close friends, relatives and friends. This is enough to see that the little guest of the East Female Kingdom has great respect and admiration for Lord Han!"
Song Liangchen stretched out his nose and sniffed the fragrance of flowers, and grinned: "My lord, since the queen likes you so much, you can go to her house tonight to get married and be a Jiayi." Ha, haha, sir, isn't the queen pretty?"
Xiao Yunhe smiled angrily: "Legend has it that the Eastern Women's Country is rich in beauties, can their queen not be beautiful?"
"Then, is that enough?" Song Liangchen was almost drooling.
Xiao Yunhe raised his fist and punched him in the chest: "You have no mouth, you should fight!" Song Liangchen laughed for a while, and followed Xiao Yunhe with the pot of flowers in his arms.
The group returned to the main hall of Honglu Temple, and Xiao Yunhe said to the Honglu Temple: "Liu Honglu, the major events in the capital city have been decided, and there can be no chaos in Honglu Temple, and the guards must be strengthened." I'll send some more people over. Also, try to improve their food. I think many of them are foreign envoys who have come to do business, but they must not miss the affairs of the state. If you have any financial problems, you can write a statistical budget and give it to me, and I will see if I can help you solve it. ”
Liu Honglu suddenly smiled happily and said happily: "Thank you, my lord! ”
Xiao Yunhe nodded, and was about to leave, but the guard standing at the door ran in and bowed to Xiao Yunhe: "Handsome, there is a guest asking to see!"
"Oh, did you come to Honglu Temple to see me?" Xiao Yunhe was slightly surprised, "What kind of person?" did he say something urgent?"
"There's a famous post here. The pawn handed over a small fold and said, "The villain didn't dare to ask about the name." ”
Xiao Yunhe took the name card and looked at it, and said to Liu Hongyu: "Duan Wang Fu - Wu Zhongru." Is Liu Honglu familiar with this person?"
Liu Honglu said with a look of surprise on his face: "Why, adults are not familiar with this person?"
Xiao Yunhe frowned: "I'm asking you questions." ”
"Oh, yes, yes......" Liu Honglu was shocked and bowed his hand, "Wu Zhongru is the son-in-law of Guo Ziyi and Guo Lao Linggong." Although this person is only a small position in the official residence, he has always been very famous. First, the Guo family's reputation in my Daqi is attached, and secondly, it is ...... This person is very good at managing money, and his family is extremely rich, and he can be called the richest man in the national capital. Even the emperor repeatedly asked him for help. Before Zhu Zhu's rebellion, he had invested tens of thousands of dollars to recruit Ding Zhuang to fill the Shence army in the Gyeonggi area, and also asked his descendants to bring a large number of domestic slaves and bring their own horses and weapons into the army. Therefore, this person is extremely favored by His Majesty the current emperor, and his reputation in the whole country is not weak. After Zhu Zhu occupied the national capital, he didn't dare to touch him in the slightest. ”
"Oh, it's such a character...... Xiao Yunhe muttered to himself, thinking: Guo Ziyi's merits are high in the world, but he is a supreme minister but does not shock the lord. Later, most of his descendants received the grace of God and became officials. At present, the Guo family is above the Great Qi court, and its influence cannot be underestimated. As the son-in-law of the Guo family, Wu Zhongru is naturally prominent...... Well, it's worth seeing.
"Please!" Xiao Yunhe sat down in the main hall of Honglu Temple and asked the pawn to go out to greet the guests.
After a short time, an old man in his fifties walked in quickly with broken steps, and bowed down head-on at Xiao Yunhe's feet: "Humble Wu Zhongru, meet Lord Han Wang, Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose!"
"Oh, Lord Wu doesn't need to be polite, get up. Xiao Yunhe's voice was very plain, and he pointed to a low table at the bottom and said, "Please sit, you don't have to be formal." ”
Wu Zhongru's body was a little fat, wearing a bloated green official robe, and he walked to the low side and knelt down a little clumsily. Seeing that his face was full of red light, it seemed that he was indeed pampered and had a good life.
Wu Zhongru's face was so fat that he was about to droop down, smiled at Xiao Yunhe, and arched his hand and said: "Lord Han, a young hero, is really a genius in the world!
