Han Liu'er said: "This place is called Wuzhi, and the head man here has sent someone to keep it, and he has promised to go to the head man's big tent for lunch." The envoy said that it was okay to stay here, but not to live in the big tent of the headman. General Long: They are setting up a village. ”

Chen Lu nodded, rubbed his eyes and got out of the car, stretched his waist, and moved. Xizi came over and said, "Lord Chen, our lord is invited." Chen Lu walked over.

Nalan was riding on a horse, saw Chen Lu passing over, and nodded politely.

Li Da was also active there, and Chen Lu hurried to salute. Li Da said: "Long Gang is camped on the hillside over there, and it looks like he won't be able to leave tomorrow. The leader is both invited and respected, and it is not yet known what they are going to do. Let's walk to the camp and move our bodies. ”

Chen Lu asked, "What's the name of the leader here?"

Li Da said: "The translator translated him into Chinese and called Kuda. Mongol. ”

Master Chen couldn't think of why, and he was confused. The two had just walked a few dozen steps, and a group of people came, all dressed as Mongolians, and one of them shouted: "Lord Lieutenant," speaking in Chinese.

Li Da and the two stopped and waited, and they sent a cart of mutton and some local wine, and the leader said: "Lord Angel, our head man said, let's go now." ”

Li Da said: "Okay, I also want to meet the leader earlier, so our soldiers will not go and set up a village here." ”

The man said, "Our lord said that the generals should be present, and there will be nothing wrong here, and we have our own soldiers who will patrol the vicinity to protect the mission." We sent a servant to cook for the soldiers here. ”

Li Da said: "That's not necessary, we just do it ourselves, you go back first, and we'll get there." ”

When Li Da said this, he suddenly remembered that Chen Lu didn't know who he was, and introduced: "Lord Chen, this is the butler of the headman, similar to the internal history of the Celestial Dynasty's Prince's Mansion, Zhao Wen, Lord Zhao." This is our Deputy Envoy, Master Chen. ”

The two saluted, Zhao Wen left a few guides, and with the sound of horses' hooves, they withdrew.

Li Da and Chen Lu are very cautious, this is not the Celestial Empire, and if they don't get it right, it will be a diplomatic turmoil. The two planned carefully for a while, listed some possibilities, and made a plan.

The two of them took their own soldiers and a few generals to Kuda's big tent, and after seeing the ceremony, Kuda reported to his family, and it turned out to be the Tianhuang nobles of the previous dynasty, and Brother Su, they are their own family, but he doesn't look like a Mongolian, more like a person from the Western Regions.

But the habit of watching and eating is still Mongolian, and Zhao Wen is the translator. He spoke Mongolian, which Li Da could almost understand, while Kuda could not speak Chinese, but he could understand it. Li Da and the others called him Wang Ye, one by one, and he was a little embarrassed at first, but he got used to it after calling a few times, and accepted it happily.

Everyone drank and was hot, and after eating, they went to the hall inside the screen to serve tea, and everyone ate tea. Kuda said: "I have long heard that the envoys of the Celestial Empire have crossed the river, and I am looking forward to it day and night, like a great drought and looking forward to the rain. Although we are in a foreign land, the Celestial Empire is my country. ”

Although this sounds a bit nonsense, in fact, if you think about it, it does make sense, their ancestors are all in China. But Li Da knew that he was going to get down to business.

Kuda continued: "Although we are Mongolians, we have lived here for more than ten generations, and it has been nearly two hundred years since we came here, and we have become one with this place. However, now the people here cannot tolerate us, and they shout every day to expel the Mongols and Han Chinese. We have a large area of grassland, which has been left by our ancestors for generations, and they have taken possession of it. ”

Li Da glanced at Chen Lu, and looked at Chen Lu's calm face, indicating that he was not very surprised. But the two didn't expect this when they made a plan.

Li Da asked, "What about the attitude of the royal court?"

Kuda said: "The problem is here, the king's attitude is very clear, they are all nationals of the Sahr country, and they should be treated without discrimination. But the officials are different. They have been preaching about the ferocity and cruelty of our ancestors, and how the Mongols slaughtered cities. How to kill people and set fires. The magistrates and the people were troubled at every turn. ”

Li Da said: "It's been a matter of several lifetimes, is it interesting to turn over these? The change of dynasties is accompanied by bloody storms and rains, and it has nothing to do with which ethnic group, don't these officials and villagers understand this truth?"

Kuda said: "The Chinese envoy said it well, the officials are not ignorant of this truth, but they are deliberately confusing right and wrong, so as to rob the grassland, cattle and sheep. And the villagers are very easy to be fooled, and often help them play Taipingquan. ”

When Li Da heard this, he already understood what he meant, and said, "The envoy has already understood, can I do something for you?"

When Kuda heard Li Da ask like this, he was in the middle of it, and hurriedly said, "There is one thing that needs to be fulfilled by angels." ”

Li Da said: "Please prince, but you can say that it is okay." ”

Kuda said: "I ask the Celestial Empire delegation to say a few kind words for us when they come to the Governor's Mansion and the Royal Palace, and give an order to the Wuzhi Garrison Mansion not to embarrass our clan again." I have a letter here, and I ask you to pass it on to the king. ”

It's nothing, it's just a normal messenger. If you want to see the commanders everywhere, for them, the leaders, it is more difficult than climbing to the sky, let alone meeting the king. Li Da accepted it without thinking.

Kuda was overjoyed and said, "There is an angel of labor, and we have nothing to reciprocate." I've heard that the last thing your mission lacks is gold and silver, and we're embarrassed to give you that again. I just hope that you will spend a few more days here, and let us also take a little bit of the friendship of the landlords. ”

Li Da immediately said: "We have understood the kindness of the prince, we are in a hurry to see your king, the errand of the court does not dare to delay, we must leave tomorrow morning." ”

At this time, Zhao Wen stood up and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the case, although we are in the Saer Kingdom here, we are still close to the people of the Celestial Empire, such as Xiaguan, who is a Han and a descendant of Emperor Dezong of the Great Liao Kingdom. When you come here, you are our mother's family, and we would like to talk more about our hometown. Also, we see that the costumes of the soldiers of the mission are somewhat shabby. I also want to make two sets of military uniforms for each person as soon as possible. ”

This is indeed a good thing, but you Li Da just rejected people, and as soon as he heard that there were clothes, he immediately said okay, which seems to be too urbanistic.

Chen Lu was thinking, things are not so simple, there is a story in this, promise him first, and then talk about it. Thinking of this, he glanced at Li Da. The two of them are very tacit in everything they do now.

Of course, Li Da understood what he meant, and said: "In this way, it is disrespectful, but the military uniform is exempt." We have already made a few sets in the Yilie Guard, so we won't bother the prince. ”

Kuda laughed and said, "Two angels, if you stay for two days, I can see that you really don't think of us as foreigners." However, the clothes must be made, the materials have been prepared, and the battalion of your mission is measuring the size, and you will also have people to measure the size in a while. We've got all the tailors from the land, and we're done in two days. ”
