The next morning,

At the east gate of the capital, a group of officials from the Ministry of Rites led by Xiao Yao had already stood solemnly, quietly waiting for the arrival of the envoy from Western Xia.

The east gate has already been cleared, and Long Kui led one hundred and ten Jingming Divisions to wait for the battle, wearing brocade clothes, crescent hats, and unique long knives, majestic and majestic.

All around, there is Yulin Wei Zhonglang General Qing Baohua commanding a thousand forbidden troops, Jin Ge iron armor, cold light.

The archers of the forbidden army had already climbed the city wall, holding feathered short bows in their hands, and dozens of three-pronged arrows on their backs, like the sharp eyes of nighthawks, watching all possible sudden changes.

Of course, this configuration is to prevent the Red Lotus Cult and all other factors that may still remain in the city.

The rest of the melon-eating masses and onlookers were intercepted in the rear by the forbidden army and the officials of Jingzhao Mansion.

It's autumn and the temperature is suitable, even if the sun doesn't shine.

Time passed slowly, Xiao Yao lived like a year, feeling that his feet were numb, as if he was not his own, and he didn't listen to his own command at all.

Xiao Yao, who has always been pampered, when has he suffered this kind of crime, he has never been in the early dynasty, unless the emperor summons him, he will never be forced to hold his concubine and sleep in the warm bed.

Xiao Yao immediately glanced at Zeng Tai, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites who did not change his face and was calm, and pouted, this old guy's physical strength is really good.

Xiao Yao only felt that his legs were as if they were embedded in cement, he was unconscious, and just wanted to move and move, he heard Zeng Tai say slowly, "Lord Xiao, you can't break the etiquette." ”

"As the chief official of the reception of the envoys of Western Xia, you must set an example and take the lead."

''Otherwise, if I let the country see it, wouldn't it damage my prestige.'' “

Hearing this, Xiao Yao rolled his eyes, he was most annoyed to deal with this group of old guys in the Ministry of Rites, who chewed words, red tape, and stubbornly.

There are a lot of rules, and it's annoying to listen to.

The time quietly came to noon, and just when Xiao Yao was about to lose his support, dozens of luxury carriages were escorted by a group of Dongchang fans wearing brown brocade clothes, pointed hats, white leather boots, and scimitars.

A leading Dongchang fanzi, about thirty, this man is different from other fanzi is wearing a white brocade robe, with a tiger engraved on his chest, and holding a steel fan.

The man was born with picturesque eyebrows, an ancient white complexion, a beautiful face, and a pair of phoenix eyes.

This man is the famous Jinbai Tiger - Zheng Xun, who is known as one of the two tigers of the Ming Dynasty and Zhou with Shen Cangbai, nicknamed Zheng Sanbao, and is known as the Treasure Buddha.

There are four people behind him, three of whom are men, Kong Wu is powerful, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and he looks like a practitioner.

The other woman was dressed in red, dressed in a fluttering manner, bewitching and wanton, born beautifully, and her appearance was slightly inferior to that of nightshade.

These four people are all the four capable generals under Bao Buddha, namely the Demon Crane, the Demon Bear, the Demon Mink, and the Demon Demon. And known as the four magic generals of the East Factory.

Finally came, Xiao Yao seemed to have encountered a rescuer, and wanted to meet him, but was pulled by Zeng Tai, and said helplessly, "Lord Xiao, according to etiquette, you are not only the noble and abnormal king of Ming Zhou, but also the first official of this diplomacy." “

"This personal greeting has already given the Western Xia envoys a lot of face, and it should be that they get off the bus and come to meet them."

When Xiao Yao heard this, he had no choice but to give up.

In a moment, the carriage of the Western Xia envoy was escorted by Dongchang, less than a hundred steps away from Xiao Yao and the others.

"Stop!" Zheng Sanbao waved his hand to stop, immediately dismounted, and came to Xiao Yao, with a smile like a spring breeze, and waved slightly, "I've seen Lord Xiao, Lord Zeng." ”

"Lord Hou is serious, my emperor has already decreed."

"Except for my emperor, you can not worship it." Seeing this, Xiao Yao and Zeng Tai returned the salute.

Zheng Sanbao is also the current Emperor Xiao Wu's personal seal, Changle Hou, judging from the title, he is deeply loved by him.

Although Xiao Yao is the prince of the Ming Dynasty, his personality is dissolute, chic and free, and he does not like the political affairs of the DPRK, so he has no real power.

And Zheng Sanbao not only crowned the Hou Ye, but also served as the master of ceremonies and the palm seal, commanding the East Factory of the same institution as the Jingming Division, with a high position and power, belonging to the pyramid of today's political center.

Therefore, for Zheng Sanbao, although Xiao Yao didn't like it, he didn't dare to hold it up.

After a few simple greetings, Zheng Sanbao waved his hand and said indifferently to the Demon Lihe behind him, "Go and invite the envoy of Western Xia to meet the prince and Lord Zeng." ”

The Demon Crane received the order and turned around to ask the Western Xia envoy.

After a while, the Moli Crane led dozens of Western Xia envoys over, all wearing robes with round necks and narrow sleeves, which were very similar to the costumes of the Ming Dynasty, the only difference was that the clothes were bright and colorful.

The leader was an old man in his sixties, wearing a purple hat with gray sideburns under the hat.

"Liao Huaiying, the envoy of the lower country, has seen King Xiao Yao of the Celestial Dynasty, Lord Zeng!"

"Master Liao doesn't have to be polite!"

Seeing this, Xiao Yao hurriedly took a few steps forward, helped him a little, and said with concern, "Master Liao and his entourage have traveled thousands of miles, and they have worked tirelessly, and they have worked hard. ”

"The Holy One knows that he is wearing the stars and the moon, and he is in the dust, so he specially ordered me to come and greet him."

"The Holy Lord has led hundreds of officials to wait in the Jinluan Palace, and ordered the imperial chef to wash the dust for the noble envoys in the Honglu Temple tonight."

"Thanks to the divine grace of the Son of Heaven, I am afraid!" Hearing this, Liao Huaiying arched his hand towards the Jinluan Palace, grateful and flattered.

"Lord Xiao, Princess Yue'er, she has occasionally felt cold in the past two days, and she is not accustomed to the water and soil, and now she is resting in the carriage, so she has not come to meet the angels of the kingdom, and she hopes to atone for her sins!"

"It's okay!" Xiao Yao waved his hand and said with concern, "Do you need this king to send an imperial doctor to diagnose it?" ”

"Thank you Prince Xiao for your care, the doctor who has been found by Marquis Zheng on the road has been well conditioned, and there is no major problem now."

"That's good!" Hearing this, Xiao Yao breathed a sigh of relief and said a few more greetings.

Then Zeng Tai led a group of officials of the Ministry of Rites and began to recite the friendship between the two countries, the emperor's grace and so on.

I don't know how other people feel, anyway, Xiao Yao is drowsy when he hears it, if there is a pillow now, he can perform a trick of falling asleep in three seconds for everyone.

After about half an hour, the ceremony was finally completed.

Yulin Wei Zhonglang led his subordinates to lead his subordinates respectively, and cooperated with Dongchang to escort them into the city.

"General Qing has worked hard!"

Zheng Sanbao came to Zhonglang General Qing Baohua, like a friend for many years, and said with care.

"Master Hou is serious, it's all within the general's business!"

"But it was the Hou Ye who escorted the envoys of Western Xia all the way, the road was difficult, and the boats and cars were tiring, which was a hundred times more difficult than the last general."

"The last general is really ashamed!" For Zheng Sanbao, Qing Baohua has always had a fear, this person is a real smiling tiger, and he hides a knife in his smile.

Hearing this, Zheng Sanbao was noncommittal and smiled faintly. Immediately walked in front of the nightshade, as if the elders cared for the juniors, "I heard that the niece of the dragon cracked a little red a few days ago, and she is worthy of being a star in the future. ”

"Hou Ye Liao praised, the nightshade is stupid, and it can be delayed for a few days before it is solved, which is worthy of the grace of the saint and the people."

Hearing this, Nightshade respectfully returned the salute, treating people who could be compared with her father-in-law, and the two were still mortal enemies, she was cautious.

After Zheng Sanbao and everyone finished greetings, the Demon Rite Demon couldn't bear it, came to the opposite side of the nightshade, and said provocatively, "I heard that you have been famous and famous in the past few days, and you have cracked a little red case." ”

"However, Admiral Ben has returned to Beijing, you don't have such good luck, this time, let's have a good time!"

The Demon Rite Demon and Nightshade have never dealt with each other, and the two have been fighting openly and secretly for a long time. However, most of them are Demon Rite Demons who are pressed by Nightshade and are firmly at a disadvantage.

"Always with you!" Nightshade stretched, responded to her with only four words, and then left as if he was not interested.

"Nightshade, what do you have to be proud of, this time Admiral Ben must trample you under your feet!"

Seeing that the nightshade left indifferently, as if he didn't take her to heart, the demon stomped heavily and said angrily.
