"It's coming, it's coming!" The commotion at the city gate caused everyone on the roof to cry, and the conversation between Qin Ke and Zhang Mingqi was forced to be interrupted. Qin Ke looked away and whispered to himself, "Calm down...... Let's not be angry with this kind of person. ”

As for how much such a mental hint can do, only God knows. But when he set his sights on the city gates, he did quickly forget about the trouble.

In order to welcome the envoys of the two countries, Wuyangmen has closed the door a few hours ago and no one is allowed to enter or leave, although the people are inevitably complaining, but after all, it is Jing Wu's face to greet the two countries' missions, if it is time for the two countries' missions to arrive, what awaits them is crowded, chaotic, and with the smell of pig feces and the smell of people's stinky feet, I am afraid that the envoys of these two countries will suspect that Jing Wu is deliberately neglecting.

At that time, I am afraid that there will be a lot of trouble.

"The door is open!" Abu exclaimed at the same time, cautiously squinted at Qin Ke's expression, and found that he didn't have anything unusual because of the quarrel, so he laughed, "I heard that the people on the other side of the sea and the Great Wall have the blood of the ancient barbarians in the north on their bodies, and they are five big and three thick, and they will draw their totems on their faces when they fight, and I don't know if it's true." ”

Qin Ke recalled the books left by his master, unlike Jing Wu, who was still short of the founding of the country and did not have much information, although Canghai was also a new country, after all, it had been entrenched in the north for a long time, and naturally there were some classics about them.

Speaking of the customs of Canghai, it is said that in the early years, there were eighteen tribes divided due to the fall of the Ji Dynasty, and these eighteen tribes fought with each other for the land with the most abundant water and grass.

Although he didn't know how Cao Meng, the lord of the Canghai Kingdom, managed to bring such a divided eighteen tribes under his command, compared to the scholars who had room for negotiation in the Wu Kingdom back then, the people over there believed in the sword more, and it was definitely not as simple as a few words to condense this power.

The officials of Honglu Temple have been waiting at the gate, unlike the people in this city, they are tasked with receiving the missions of the two countries, and the two missions of the Canghai Great Wall enter the city at the same time, which can be said to be a rare thing in Jingwu diplomacy.

According to the ancient rites, Honglu Temple not only has to arrange all the matters for the mission to enter the city, but also the "entry ceremony" when the mission enters the city is the most important. The ancient holy king greeted the barbarian tribe in the national capital Kaesong, and used 3,000 musicians and 5,000 dancing girls of the imperial dynasty, the world was shaken, and the barbarians were moved by the friendship of the holy king, and finally the holy king was named "Heavenly Khan", and since then the barbarians who disturbed the border have also become the good people of the imperial dynasty.

And this time, Jianye City welcomed the two countries' missions, and Honglu Temple spent months preparing, and many officials of Honglu Temple even "passed through the door without entering" for a whole month, and finally integrated the entire song and dance troupe, just waiting to show Jing Wu's sincerity to peace between the two countries at a critical moment.

Qin Ke looked carefully, there was an old man with crane hair standing in the center of the officials, meticulously dressed, with a solemn face, not angry and arrogant, showing the majesty of Honglu Temple's "neither humble nor silent".

It was Huang Hansheng who asked him not long ago about "shooting".

"What are you nervous about?" Looking at the officials of Honglu Temple beside him, there was some panic in their expressions, Huang Hansheng shouted in a low voice, "I, Jingwu, receive the envoys of the two countries, although I can't be lazy, but I can't weaken my momentum. Let people know that Jing Wu is a country of etiquette, and it is the sincerity of our country to treat each other with courtesy, but sincerity is not groveling. ”

Hearing Huang Hansheng's slightly majestic voice, the officials of Honglu Temple suddenly calmed down, as if they had found the backbone, and everyone looked at the front with their eyes, respectful but graceful, and straightened their backs against the horse team.

"Come in!" Xiao Qian pointed to the gate and said excitedly, even the little guy who was crying and trying to move a table to the roof turned his head to look over.

Qin Ke's lips were tightly closed, but the rapid beating of his heart revealed the shock in his heart. The horse team outside the city gate finally marched slowly, carrying large flags with the words "Canghai" and "Wood" at the forefront, held high side by side by two riders with calm expressions.

The breeze blows the flag, and the patterns on it also shine brightly in the sun, as if it wants to burst out of the flag.

Behind the words Canghai was a cyan tiger, and when he stared at it carefully, Qin Ke even felt that the tiger was opening its bloody mouth and roaring at the mountains and forests. Behind the wooden characters is a shield, which, although it does not look very inconspicuous, has a fierce aura of its own.

"It's the family crest of the Cao family and the Mu family. Abu exclaimed, "After Cao Meng founded the country in Canghai, he set the family crest as a bronze tiger, which is a metaphor for the almost invincible tiger and leopard rider under his command who swept the world. ”

"What's the matter with the Mu Clan?" Qin Ke asked, "Isn't it the Great Wall Mission?"

"The Great Wall is just the name of our people, in fact, the Great Wall has never been declared king, so naturally there is no country name. Abu pointed and said, "Compared with the bronze tiger family crest of the Cao family, the emblem of the Mu family is even more remarkable, it is said that this emblem originated before the death of the ancient holy king, in order to commend the Mu family for resisting fierce beasts on the Great Wall and the sacrifice of peace in the world, so he gave the shield used when he was young to conquer the world, meaning to praise them as the shield of the people." The ancestors of the Mu family took this as their family crest, and it has been passed down to this day for thousands of years. ”

Although the clothes in the armor of the cavalry holding the flag had already been wet with sweat in such a hot weather, and there were countless fine beads of sweat on their foreheads, they did not complain, and even seemed to feel no physical discomfort, and rode forward.

Their skin has turned as brown as wheat in the sun for many years, and they are sturdy and broad-boned, each of them nearly seven feet (about 1.9 meters) tall. Compared with the southerners in Jianye City, who are only about six feet tall and only five feet tall on average, they walk side by side as if they were two pagodas.

And the horses under their crotch were even fatter and stronger, compared to the horses Qin Ke had seen, they could be a head taller or even more, breathing heavily, and the horseshoe collided with the masonry floor, as if they were about to rub out sparks.

Once such a horse charges on the battlefield, it is almost a torrent of flesh and blood, no matter what kind of phalanx it is, I am afraid that it will be crushed under their bodies, right?

"It's horrible. Qin Ke sighed lowly, "This is the horse breed of Canghai and the Great Wall?"

Abu nodded: "It is precisely because of such a horse breed that Canghai can have such an integrated heavy armored cavalry 'Tiger and Leopard Cavalry'." ”

Speaking of this, his face showed a little embarrassment, "My Jingwu's Qingzhou ghost cavalry and the Mo family's black cavalry are tied with them to become the three major cavalry armies in the world, but in the final analysis, it is because after Canghai was founded, the tiger and leopard cavalry has not left the territory of Canghai for many years, and few people know the true combat power of the tiger and leopard cavalry. But as early as a few years ago, Canghai attacked the Mo family's 50,000 warrior phalanx with 10,000 tigers and leopards, not only won a complete victory, but also killed the corpses of the warriors all over the field and fled in a hurry, and that battle was enough to shake the world. ”

"One-on-five, and a big victory?" Qin Ke said in surprise.

"You have never seen the heavy cavalry charge in the frontal battle, for for them, even arrows are of little use, the formation of the infantry is simply vulnerable in front of them, and when they run over the formation, all they are left with dry bones. Abu's eyes showed a bit of fascination, but he quickly blushed again, "Oh, actually, I haven't seen it either, this was told to me by Brother Changgong." A few years ago, he also thought about forming heavy cavalry, but in the end he didn't do it. Although the south is rich, it may not be impossible to polish the armor, but a suit of armor is at least a few dozen catties, plus horse armor, ordinary horses can't run at all, even those good horses, running for a few miles are already panting. ”

Qin Ke nodded, but between the flickering of his eyes, the blood in his heart slowly became cold.

For the battlefield, he did not yearn for the battlefield as Abu, he still remembered the scene when he fled the famine, the army swept all the places like a frenzy, the hungry people who fled the famine fell in rows like straw in the rain of arrows, and his father picked him up and ran for his life as fast as he could.

If it weren't for his parents who had fallen into a trench to defend themselves against the horses while running, he would have died at that time. When the shouting finally stopped to the sound of horses' hooves, the family crawled out of the trench full of dead bodies, and the crows landed on the flagpole where they stood on their own, and the corpses were piled up like a mountain to form a great wall of flesh and blood.

The ultimate silence is like death everywhere.

Qin Ke shook his head, didn't think about it, and continued to look at the city gate.
