Ning Kai said, letting go of his figure.

Xiao Ting looked at the general, and sure enough, an official sedan chair was parked not far behind him.

Xiao Ting said helplessly: "Thank you King Chu for your love." It doesn't have to be so troublesome......"

Ning Kai said with a straight face: "My lord is now the envoy of my Chu State, and he should be personally escorted by guards until the Imperial City of Yan Kingdom. This is related to the ceremonial face of my Chu State, and it must not be sloppy at all! ”

When Xiao Ting heard this, he didn't say much, and thought about it: "General Ning, I don't like to sit in the official sedan chair, why don't I let my sister sit in this official sedan chair, I'm the same as the general, how about riding a horse?"

Ning Kai thought for a while and said, "Then listen to the adults, Ling Mei sits in a sedan chair, and you ride a horse!" However, when the time comes for Yan Guo to enter the imperial city, he still has to trouble the adults to be wronged, and he must take a sedan chair! ”

Xiao Ting sighed, this Chu country is worthy of being a state of etiquette. So he agreed: "Just listen to General Ning."

Ning Kai clenched his fists and said, "Thank you, my lord!"

After that, let the adjutant pick out a good horse as Xiao Ting's mount, and ordered someone to send Xing'er to the official sedan chair, and the group began to set off.

Xiao Ting and Ning Kai rode side by side and said, "General Ning, you are the deputy general guarding the imperial city, how could the King of Chu send you out?"

Ning Kai said with a smile: "My lord, there are three deputy generals of the Imperial City Army, so if I am missing, I will not delay the guarding work of the Imperial City."

Xiao Ting nodded and said, "General Ning, you don't want adults to call me." It's better to call me Tingxiao, and I'll call you Brother Ning, how about it? ”

Ning Kai hugged his fists and said, "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate."

Xiao Ting smiled and said, "I don't know if Brother Ning is here, what other instructions does the King of Chu have?"

Ning Kai replied: "The King of Chu sent the last general to accompany the Ting brothers to the Yan Kingdom this time, firstly, to ensure the safety of the Ting brothers, and secondly, there is a treasure that I want to give to the King of Yan to show the sincerity of our Chu State Alliance."

Xiao Ting asked curiously, "What kind of treasure is it?"

Ning Kai shook his head and said, "I don't know either. The king of Chu told him that he must open it in front of the king of Yan. ”

When Xiao Ting heard this, he didn't ask too much. So he chatted with Ning Kai again: "I heard that Yan State and Chu State have always had good relations, do Brother Ning know what the character of this Yan King is?"

Ning Kai thought for a while and said, "The last general hasn't seen King Yan either. However, the relationship between the two countries is really good. It is said that King Yan is the second highest lord of the kingdom in addition to Jiang Taixu, the lord of the Jiang Kingdom. ”

Xiao Ting nodded when he heard this, secretly thinking about himself in his heart.

Ning Kai said: "Brother Ting, according to our current travel speed, it is expected that it will take more than ten days to reach the Imperial City of Yan Kingdom. According to the etiquette system, we need to send fast horses to send a message to Yan Guo first, so that we can go all the way unimpeded, without going through the interrogation of the guards guarding the city, and go directly to the imperial city of Yan State. And Yan Guo will also follow the etiquette and send officials out of the city to greet him. ”

When Xiao Ting heard this, he suddenly said, "Then everything will be arranged by Brother Ning."

Ning Kai smiled, and with a wave of his hand, his adjutant got the order, rode on a fast horse, and went first.

With the escort of Ning Kai's team, the next trip became much smoother and faster.

Six days later, Xiao Ting and his entourage had already walked out of the border of Chu State. And the Yan State is directly south of the Cangjie, and the territory adjacent to the Chu State is not large, so if you want to reach the imperial city of the Yan Kingdom, it will take five or six days to travel.

Yan State is worthy of being the country with the best diplomatic relations with Chu State, after receiving the news of Xiao Ting and others' envoys, King Yan immediately ordered that according to the route of Xiao Ting and his party, post stations were designed along the roads, and the city lords of each city were out of the city to greet them, and arranged all aspects of Xiao Ting's and his party's food, clothing, housing and transportation.

This made Xiao Ting a little flattered, but it also made him more confident in this mission, and it seems that the alliance between the two countries should be nine out of ten.

In this way, it was another five days, and finally thirteen days after Xiao Ting left the imperial city of Chu State, he rushed to the imperial city of Yan State.

There were still three or four miles away from the imperial city of Yan Kingdom, and Xiao Ting could already see the honor guard greeted by Yan Kingdom.

Waiting in front of the gate of the imperial city, Xiao Ting walked down from the official sedan chair, holding the king's scepter and knot, walking in the center of the procession, and walked towards the welcoming procession of Yan Kingdom.

On the opposite side, a young man in a golden python robe stood in the center.

The yellow robe on the man's body is embroidered with nine pythons, and the robe is open left and right. The crown on the top of the head is inlaid with thirteen eastern pearls. Around the waist is a belt of gold and jade inlaid with eastern pearls.

Xiao Ting's heart was shocked. Isn't this the crown prince's outfit?

Xiao Ting hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "The envoy of the Chu State, Tingxiao, has seen His Royal Highness the Prince!"

After that, he raised his head and looked at the prince of Yan Kingdom.

I saw that the man's face was like a crown of jade, and his air was magnificent. At the age of about twenty-three or fourteen, he is smiling at the moment, giving people a feeling of spring breeze.

This person is the current prince of Yan Kingdom: Yan Xun.

Yan Xun smiled and said, "Ambassador Tingxiao doesn't have to be polite. My father specially ordered me to go out of the city to meet the envoy of Chu. Ambassador Tingxiao has been in the dust all the way, come and follow me into the city. My father has prepared a temporary residence for the guards, so please rest for your first rest. In the evening, my father will personally set up a banquet to entertain the most noble guests of the Yan Kingdom! ”

Hearing this, Ting Xiao hurriedly said, "Thank you, King Yan!"

After a long journey, Xiao Ting was fine, but Xing'er was tired, and as soon as he arrived at the house prepared for him by Yan Guo, he lay on the soft bed and fell asleep.

Xiao Ting thought about it, if he wanted to meet King Yan at night, he didn't have to bring Xing'er, so let her rest well.

In the evening, King Yan held a banquet in the palace to entertain Xiao Ting and his party.

Xiao Ting only brought Ning Kai and an entourage to the banquet.

On the banquet, the staggered planning can be described as the joy of the guests and the hosts.

At the banquet, Xiao Ting peeked at the throne and saw that King Yan on the main throne was about fifty years old, and his face was six points similar to that of the crown prince Yan Xun who accompanied him. However, it has more calmness and imperial spirit, and his gestures show the demeanor of heaven.

Judging from the faint hint of breath revealed by King Yan, King Yan's cultivation is above King Chu Sheng, and after Suo Suo's affirmative answer, Xiao Ting is also sure: King Yan's cultivation is already in the late stage of the Emperor's Extreme Realm. It is worthy of being the second strongest among the lords of the country except Jiang Taixu.

After three rounds of drinking, Xiao Ting personally handed over the letter of King Chu Sheng and expressed the intention of the alliance of Chu State.

King Yan took the letter handed by the maid, opened it and read it himself, nodding from time to time.

At this time, Ning Kai on the side gestured to Xiao Ting.

Xiao Ting immediately understood, and arched his hand: "King Yan, in order to show his sincerity, my lord King Chu has brought a treasure, and he specially explained that he wants to present it in person in front of King Yan."

"Oh? The king of Chu has a heart! King Yan put away the letter and said with a smile.

Ning Kai got up, took out a rosewood box from his arms, held it in both hands, walked up to King Yan and said, "King Yan, please look!"

At this moment, not only King Yan, but even the crown prince Yan Xun and His Royal Highness Xiao Ting on the side were all interested, wanting to see what this so-called "treasure" was.

And just when everyone's attention was focused on the wooden box in Ning Kai's hand, Ning Kai had a hideous look in his eyes, took out a blue dagger from his arms, and stabbed at the prince Yan Xun on the side!

Everyone, including King Yan, suddenly changed their faces!
