Chapter 18: Unexpected Encounters, Unpleasant Conversations
In the early morning of the erection day, Huangli woke up, got dressed, left the house, got on the horse and left.
Before the envoys of the two countries arrived, she could go back to the barracks to have a look. I didn't take care of anything yesterday, and I don't know if anything difficult happened.
Although such cases are rare, it is not ruled out that they will happen, so it is better to take a trip.
According to the spies, the envoys of the two countries will not be able to arrive in Yuancheng until early afternoon at the earliest, and it is still early.
At this time, the envoys of the two countries had already "met unexpectedly", and two pairs of chariots and horses were advancing at the same time, one red and one black, the red side was from Qiyang and the black side was from Nanyuan.
The carriages carrying the envoys of the two countries were only about a meter apart, and the curtain of the carriage was not opened by the owner.
"Your Excellency is Yan Qihan, the crown prince of Nanyuan Kingdom. I have admired the name for a long time!"
"Don't dare. You must be Yan Linyang, the crown prince of Qiyang Kingdom! You are the only one in Qiyang Kingdom who has such momentum. ”
The curtain didn't open at all, so to put it bluntly, this polite remark is really "polite".
It is said that he has admired the name for a long time, but in fact there is no intersection at all, and there are no outstanding achievements that can be worshipped.
It is said that the momentum is extraordinary, and no one has even seen it, how can you see it.
To put it bluntly, it is the official version of "opening your eyes and talking nonsense", and to put it culturally, it is a low-profile version of "commercial mutual blowing".
But the two didn't take this to heart, they had heard this kind of thing countless times, they had long been numb, and when they heard it again, they had no feelings.
Yan Linyang: "Cooperation, how?"
Yan Qihan: "What to cooperate with?"
Yan Linyang: "You know, Twilight Kingdom. ”
Yan Qihan: "I don't know. ”
Yan Linyang: "Do you want to go back?!Quitting halfway? Even if you quit now, it won't change the fact that you are already on the opposite side of the Abyss Kingdom!"
Yan Qihan: "No." ”
Yan Linyang: "Heh! How could it not! Since you dare to agree to change this year's location to the Abyss Kingdom, you should know what the consequences will be." They are all on the same boat, do you want to jump into the river?! And isn't the purpose of our trip to explore the real strength of the Abyss Country, do you dare to say that if the Abyss Kingdom is really strong in the outside world, you will not have the slightest idea?"
Yan Qihan: "I don't dare to speculate on my father's decision. ”
Yan Linyang: "So which side are you on in the south of the country, or do you want to remain neutral and sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight?"
Yan Qihan: "No. Nanyuan has always disliked war, and he made money in harmony. ”
Yan Linyang: "You'd better do what you say!"
The exchange ended, and the carriages continued to run side by side, but neither of them spoke again.
Until lunchtime, the two got out of the carriage at the same time, and there was no communication, whether it was in words or eyes.
Both teams of chariots and horses stopped to rest, and were under the trees on both sides of the official road, not interfering with each other, but always on the alert of each other.
Although there has never been a case of two emissaries meeting on the way to a certain country and assassinating a killer, everything has a first time, and it is always good to be careful.
After resting, Qiyang Guo's first set off, and Nanyuan Guo waited for a while before continuing to move forward unhurriedly.
This distance, and there is no communication.
In the carriage that Yan Linyang of Qiyang Country was riding, there were two people sitting at this time, one was Yan Linyang, and the other was Xie Zhi, the best and most trusted advisor under Yan Linyang.
Although Yan Linyang's biological mother is the queen, and she was named the crown prince of Qiyang Kingdom at birth, it also means that he must be careful and vigilant at all times, because there are not a few people who want to pull him down from that position.
The reason why he has been able to occupy the position of the crown prince until now is largely because of the strength of his mother's mother family in Qiyang Kingdom, which is unshakable, coupled with his mother's good calculation and planning step by step, he can still sit firmly on the throne of the queen without the emperor's favor, and also ensure that his crown prince is not threatened by other princes.
Xie Zhi was a 10th birthday gift from the Empress of Qiyang to her son Yan Linyang. Xie Zhi can be said to be a great help to the Empress of Qiyang Kingdom, and he has made many suggestions on the way to help her sit firmly on the throne of the queen, and the effect is excellent every time.
When Xie Zhi was given to Yan Linyang, she told Yan Linyang: "You must learn and be able to protect your own things, there will always be times when the queen mother can't take care of you, and she can't be with you forever." ”
Since that day, Yan Linyang has been forced to grow up. He didn't understand why the queen mother no longer spoke softly to him, no longer cared about his studies, and no longer ......
Later, he really grew up, became sensible, and understood that the queen mother did everything for his good.
This mission to the country is a test given to him by the queen mother, and he must not let the queen mother down!
"Teacher, what are we going to do? ”
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this is beyond them. There are no regrets, he has already entered the game, and if he wants to get out, he has to ask the layout person if he agrees. With the old man here, he will definitely let His Highness return with a full load!"
"Hmm. If you do a good job this time, you can get the approval of the queen mother when you go back, and this prince will definitely be rewarded! Teacher, what do you want, I will prepare it for you in advance. ”
"The old man has nothing to want, and he lacks nothing. As long as you can give all the old man's lifelong learning to His Royal Highness, the old man will die without regrets!"
"Teacher, this trip is so long, and I have to bother you to come with me, I am really ashamed of you! It's just that this time it is really important to me, and I can't trust other people, so I have to let you always accompany me to bump around. ”
"No problem. It is an honor for the old man to be able to serve His Royal Highness. Before leaving, the queen specially summoned the old man and asked the old man to mention you more. ”
There was silence......
Yan Linyang looked at the gray-haired old man in front of him, and his heart ached.
"Teacher, when the queen mother gave you to me, were you reluctant? ”
"Nope. The queen is kind to the old man, she handed over Her Royal Highness to the old man to teach, and the old man was too late to be grateful, how could he be dissatisfied. The old man shook his head and smiled.
Who would have thought that the seemingly amiable old man was actually ruthless and full of scheming.
The cars and horses of the Nanyuan country behind are advancing slowly, neither fast nor slow.
Inside the carriage, Yan Qihan sat quietly with his eyes closed, his face a little pale. Yan Qihan, who is only nineteen years old, has been weak since he was a child and soaked in a medicine jar.
Originally, it was not him who was the messenger this time, but if he didn't go, the elderly prime minister would have to go.
Now the prime minister is old and can't stand the toss. So Yan Qihan begged his father to let him go.
The emperor of Nanyuan Kingdom is such a son, how can he be willing to do it, not to mention that Yan Qihan's body is weak, and he can't bear such a long journey. But Yan Qihan's attitude was firm, and the emperor of Nanyuan had no choice but to agree.
However, in order to ensure the safety of his son's life, there were five or six imperial doctors accompanying him, and they were still the few that Yan Qihan tried his best to fight.
