The convoy of Liang envoys who entered the Central Plains from the northwest and passed through Meizhou and Fengzhou has entered the boundary of Yangzhou, where Luyang is located.

In the summer sun, the dew drops from the early morning and the tips of the leaves moisten the soil, the grain in the fields sways in the morning breeze, and the farmers walk on the ridges and wave the coarse cloth on the long poles to drive away the birds.

On the official road in the distance, the envoys of the Liang State drove all the way in the sight of the field.

“…… Last winter, the Xia King quietly attacked the grassland, has become the general trend of the unification of the north, earlier I had advised Your Majesty, consolidate the north, and form an alliance with Xirong, Your Majesty did not listen, now the Xirong people often go south, obstructing the trade route, those tribes in the country have resentment in their hearts......"

The small potholes pressed by the wheels, creaking and turning, the carriage swayed and undulated with the uneven road surface, and the envoy of Liang State who sat in the car, named Ye Ci Farewell, was about sixty years old, with white beards hanging down his chest, and his body was a little rickety, and there were two people sitting opposite him, one of whom was burly and strong, and his eyes were closed, as if he was pretending to sleep, and as if he was listening to the words of the old man.

He is a master of Liang Guofeng Juntang, named Xiangli Shanba, the realm is comparable to a product, is one of the famous warriors under the command of Emperor Tuoba Kui, in the past few years, he has been trained in the army, and his strength has long exceeded a product, but he still can't become a great master, maybe the realm is not enough, maybe it's other reasons, it's hard to get an inch in here for a year or two.

At this time, as an envoy's entourage, it was specially instructed by Emperor Daliang to come over and have other important things to do.

And another envoy next to him accompanied him, named Xifeng Renxiao, he was the brother of the general of Liang State outside Guangfu City, who was in his forties, and he looked the youngest among the three, as if he was in his early thirties, without any martial arts, but he practiced a thaumaturgy.

"I originally wanted to dissuade Your Majesty, befriend the Xia Kingdom, reopen the trade route, and then make friends with Wu Yue, and even make an ally, send troops to the Western Regions, occupy the southern part of the Western Regions, expand the depth, and then connect with the Qi State, so that you can fight against the Xia Kingdom together, but Your Majesty is young and vigorous, and it is really unwise to vow to compete with the monarch of the Xia State who is a few years younger than him."

The old man named Yeci Lang Bei put down the curtain, he looked at the acres of fields outside, his mood was complicated, the Central Plains was vast, the fields were lush and lush, it was really a granary, inexhaustible, inexhaustible.

He retracted his gaze and looked at the warriors of the Liang Kingdom opposite to Lishanba: "...... When I say this, the two of you may not listen to it, but I hope that the two of you can think carefully and think about the people of Liang and the people of the tribe completely. ”

Xiang Lishanba closed his eyes and did not speak, and the fine seal Renxiao on the side slowly opened his eyes, interrupting the words of this envoy, as the surname of Liang Guo's fine seal, he was a guest of the emperor with thaumaturgy, and he had his pride.

There was displeasure on his face when he said goodbye.

"Your Majesty has the world in mind and is trying to reform the shortcomings of the Great Liang for a hundred years, this is the capital of the hero, how can you comment wantonly, and although the emperor of the Xia Kingdom is strong, he only had 800 people in his early years, and he took the opportunity to make trouble, which is really a thief.

Attacking the Central Plains, destroying other people's countries, and taking Xirong, using butcher knives to show off their own force, but they are only short-sighted, and what is even more ridiculous is that they vainly try to abolish the Yan State and Wei State text books, is the next step to destroy my Liang? Do you want to abolish my Liang script too? This kind of person, you are still showing weakness everywhere, but you know that the more humble you are, the more the other party looks down on you, and the weak have never been treated well since ancient times! ”

"Fine-sealed Renxiao, what you said is a bit excessive." At this time, Xiang Lishanba suddenly spoke, and his eyes were sharp: "There is nothing wrong with the old minister seeking the country, not the weakness in your mouth. ”

The fine seal snorted and turned his head away.

Xiang Lishanpa's face was grim, he raised his hand to press on his knees, and his voice was low and majestic: "This time I came here is His Majesty's order, what you and I have to do, I know in my heart, put arrogance on the surface, it is better to stay where it should be used." ”

Hehe!

Xi Feng Renxiao grinned slightly and sneered twice, and then stopped talking. The wild words on the other side sighed, closed his eyes, and his body shook with the body, all the way to Luyang.

Soon, the sound of galloping horses' hooves sounded outside the car, and after saying a few words outside, he galloped away, and opened the corner of the curtain with wild words: "What happened just now?" ”

A Liang cavalry approached: "Lord Qiyu Yeci, he is the cavalry of the Xia Kingdom, and he ordered us to go directly to Luyang Dongwu Gate." ”

"I really don't know how to be hospitable, so I let us go directly outside the city!" After listening to Liang Qi's reply outside, after waiting for someone to leave, he snorted again: "It's really a barbarian from the North." ”

He glanced at Lishampa and Ye Ci to say goodbye, and saw that the two of them were expressionless, and put his hands in his sleeves stupidly.

After that, the envoy team sailed straight to Xuanchun Gate, where they met with the envoy team of Qi State, the queen mother and the queen were sisters on both sides, although there was friction between the two countries in private, but on the surface they still greeted politely.

The sun rose, almost noon, and the sky gradually became warm, because the new emperor was going to perform martial arts in the Central Plains, and people from all counties in Yangzhou and even other states came to watch the ceremony, and even many people in the north gathered in Luyang.

The envoys of the two countries bypassed the Xuanchun Gate, and on the official roads that extended in all directions, there were convoys from various prefectures, counties, and counties, and after more than ten miles, the roads were even more crowded, and there were bustling crowds everywhere, and the rich families drove ox carts or horse-drawn carriages to travel with their families, but no matter how crowded the road was, no one got down and passed through the fields.

If they are discovered, they will be thrown into the government prison.

During this period of time, many young and strong people were hired by officials to tamp and flatten the fields outside the east gate, and even thick wooden frames and rammed earth. The seven-zhang high platform built by the rock has been completed, and there are as many as eight of them, of which the four-zhang high is the viewing platform, which is for the ministers of civil and military affairs and the envoys of the four countries to sit.

It was not yet time for them to actually reach the outskirts of the southern part of the city.

The three of them opened the curtain and came out of the carriage one after another, and at a glance, the entire place called Longqiao was full of all kinds of tents, all of which were from the children of the big families who watched the martial arts, and there was still a road for the envoys.

From time to time, his eyes swept over the beacon towers, as well as the huge table in the distance, like a ring of martial arts.

"Deliberately making such a play, wouldn't that Emperor of the Xia Kingdom just make it for us to see the Four Kingdoms?" Xi Feng Renxiao walked between the two, his hands behind his back, his Liang country's unique leather jacket and cloth sewn robe, with some carvings hanging on it.

He muttered while following the Xia soldiers who led the way in front of him, and when he arrived at the foot of the Dongwu Gate, soldiers and horses came out of the city gate, and the soldiers who led the way asked the envoys to stop.

And they saw a general, passing before them with his patrolling horses and soldiers.

The cavalry that went ahead ran in front and shouted loudly to the people and families who came to watch the ceremony: "The three armies will exercise martial arts tomorrow, and you will have the honor to watch the ceremony, but you must not go beyond the signs, and you must not make a disturbance, otherwise you should be killed for the crime of causing chaos." ”

Xiang Lishanba in the envoy team here looked directly at the generals patrolling out of the city, the other party was relatively short, which was not surprising, but there was an iron mask on his waist, which made him feel that this would be a little not simple.

Xi Feng Renxiao is not a military general, nor is he a person with superb martial arts, he looked at the generals of the Xia Kingdom on horseback, and couldn't help sneering, and whispered to his companions beside him: "The generals of the Xia Kingdom are so short? ”

He said this quietly in the crowd, and he said goodbye and heard it in Lishanba, and soon the patrol general's team passed, and the soldiers who led the way turned back: "Envoys, please follow!" ”

After speaking, under the guidance of the other party, he led the envoys of the four countries into the Tobu Gate, and came to the post house not far from the city gate, where they were received by the interpreter sent by the Honglu Temple.

After a short rest, the three of them recuperated their appearance, took a scepter with a small number of followers, and the envoys of the other three countries were summoned by Su Chen to go to the imperial city together.

Since entering the imperial city, the security checkpoints along the palace road are almost ten steps and one post, and the search is also very strict, and when they reach the main hall, the weapons to Lishanba are also searched.

"This is the imperial palace of the Wei State, but it was occupied by the barbarians of the Northland, tsk...... I don't know if the concubines of the Emperor of Wei have been divided and forcibly occupied. ”

The fine seal of Renxiao sighed twice, and Xiang Lishanba, who was stolen from his weapon, whispered to him with a side face: "If you talk nonsense again, just go back for me!" ”

At this time, a warrior named Wu Zixun came over and invited the envoys of the four countries to enter the palace.

At this moment, a mighty and sturdy figure hurried in from behind them, and rubbed with Xiang Lishanba, who felt a pain in his shoulder, and staggered forward a few steps, almost knocking down the fine seal Renxiao.

Xifeng Renxiao originally wanted to scold a few words, but when he saw a solemn look on Xiang Lishanba's face, he followed the other party's line of sight, and the tall and mighty figure that hurriedly came in just now was arching his hand towards the top of the imperial steps, and then walked into the queue, his face was a little rough, and his eyes were full of fierceness.

The mouth opened by the fine seal Renxiao suddenly closed, and he moved a small step, often shrinking from the side of Lishanba.

"This person's name is Li Xuanba, and he is one of the fierce generals under the command of Emperor Xia." The wild words in front whispered to the two.

"Hmph, it's just a martial artist."

Fine Feng Renxiao muttered, and in a moment, they and the envoys of the other three countries stepped forward to salute the figure sitting on the dragon chair, and Xiao Feng Renxiao lowered his gaze, and his afterglow kept looking around, as well as the Emperor of Xia above.

I suddenly had an idea in my heart.

Since His Majesty sent him over to have something important to do, it is a good time to fall into the prestige of the Xia Kingdom in front of the envoys of the other three countries.

By the way, I vented the anger of the tired car all the way.

Thinking about it, he listened to the envoys of the three kingdoms of Wu Yue and Qi in front of him one by one, and glanced at the surrounding golden palace carvings, and gradually made up his mind in his heart.
