In the depths of the Xixiao Mountain, the village of the Yue people is holding a grand welcome ceremony.

A black-robed man led three people wearing Central Plains costumes to walk in front, followed by black-robed people carrying more than a dozen large wooden boxes.

The three people dressed in Central Plains costumes were the envoys of King Cheng's visit to the Yue clan this time, and the black-robed man who led the way in front was an elder of the Yue clan.

The men and the dozen or so wooden boxes went to the council chamber in the stockade.

In the hall, except for the Yue Clan's Great Tusi, all the Yue Clan elders who represent the Yue Clan's supreme power gathered, which shows the importance attached to the envoy of the Cheng Wang.

After greeting each other, the two sides sat down, looking at the empty main seat, although the envoy of the king was dissatisfied in his heart, his face was still full of smiles.

The envoy of King Cheng at the head took his eyes off the main seat, and then looked at these Yue clan elders one by one. But because the faces of these elders were obscured, he couldn't see their expressions clearly.

Every year, the Great Wei court sent envoys to get along with the Yue clan, and the Yue clan Datusi would let the young master bring the elders to receive them. This time, the envoy of the king, the Great Tusi, also asked the young master to be in charge of the reception, but at this time, the young master did not know where to go.

For the envoy sent by King Cheng, the Yue clan is naturally not afraid of being rude or offended, but the person in charge is not there, and the atmosphere is inevitably a little embarrassing.

"Master Ji, my young master has something to do when he goes down the mountain today, and he should have rushed back before you according to the time, but now he hasn't come back, I'm afraid that something has happened, and the rude thing is still looking at Haihan. Elder Yue, who was sitting opposite King Cheng's envoy, said.

"Where, where, we were too fast, and we arrived early. The envoy of King Cheng, who was called Lord Ji, said with a smile.

This Lord Ji is the second assistant of the cabinet, Ji Min, and one of King Cheng's henchmen.

Elder Yue said: "The envoy of the imperial court has already come once this year, I don't know why His Royal Highness King Cheng sent Lord Ji to come this time?"

Ji Min smiled and said, "His Royal Highness King Cheng is ......"

"The young master has arrived!"

Before Ji Min finished speaking, a sudden report was heard outside the door.

With this announcement, all the Yue Clan elders sitting in the hall stood up, and Ji Min and the three of them also stood up when they saw this.

After all the people were standing, a black-robed man walked in from outside the hall.

The black-robed man strode in, but a crack in his black robe closed one by one with his steps, attracting everyone to stare at him.

The black-robed man walked straight to the main seat and sat down, and then those Yue Clan Elders, Ji Min and the others also sat down again.

The elder of the Yue clan who spoke just now was already at the bottom left of the main seat, and at this time, he leaned over and approached the black-robed man sitting on the main seat and whispered, "The young master knows that there is something going on today, why did he only return at this time?"

The black-robed man on the main seat is the one who fought with Ding Muxi in the mountains, he is the third son of the Yue family's great toast, and he is also the next great toast selected by the Yue family's great toast.

The young master of the Yue clan did not shy away from it, and laughed loudly: "Fifth Uncle wants to take care of me?"

Elder Yue frowned and said, "Fifth Uncle just wants to remind the young master to pay attention to etiquette. ”

The young master of the Yue clan looked at Ji Min and the three of them, and said, "Let me talk to them about etiquette?"

Elder Yue said: "The three of Master Ji are the envoys of King Cheng, so naturally they should treat each other with courtesy. ”

The young master of the Yue clan looked at the elder of the Yue clan, and then at Ji Min, and asked with a smile, "King Cheng, is it the crown prince?"

Ji Min replied: "Although His Royal Highness King Cheng is not the crown prince, he has participated in court politics for many years and is a prince who the emperor has focused on cultivating......"

The young master of the Yue clan said: "If you are not the prince, you dare to call him the prince? What if the crown prince appointed by the emperor in the future is not him?"

"This ......" Ji Min was speechless for a while, and his face became ugly, "Your Highness is not the crown prince now, but sooner or later he will be made the crown prince." ”

The young master of the Yue clan said: "Our Yue clan controls the entire western slope, and we recognize him as the emperor of the Great Wei, not to mention that he is just a prince now, that is, he is a prince, and before he ascends the throne, he is nothing in the eyes of our Yue clan." ”

When Ji Min heard this, his face became even more ugly.

Seeing this, the elder of the Yue clan said to the young master of the Yue clan: "His Royal Highness King Cheng sent someone to make friends, and the young master should not treat people like this." ”

The young master of the Yue clan ignored the elder of the Yue clan, but asked Ji Min, "He sent someone to make friends with us at this time, I'm afraid he has a plan, right?"

Ji Min hurriedly said: "There is no scheme, just friendship." His Royal Highness King Cheng has always wanted to walk around this magical place in the west slope and pay a visit to the big toast, but the state affairs are busy and there is no time, so he sent the next official to come here on his behalf. ”

After speaking, Ji Min got up and walked to the dozen or so large wooden boxes, opened the wooden boxes one by one, and then said to the young master of the Yue clan: "These are a little thoughts of His Highness." ”

These dozen large wooden boxes were filled with gold, silver, jewelry, and all kinds of porcelain and silk satin.

Although the Yue clan was rich and rivaled the country, in the face of such a generous gift, the Yue clan elders present still had their eyes shining.

The young master of the Yue clan just glanced at the dozen or so big wooden boxes, then looked at Ji Min and said, "King Cheng is so bloody, just to befriend us, there is really no plan?"

Ji Min said with a smile: "Your Highness just said that His Highness has no plans, please rest assured that the young master has no plan." ”

The young master of the Yue clan said: "Okay, it's good if there is no plan." I am also afraid that if I take the things of the king and do things for him, or he proposes to make our Yue clan loyal to him, it will be troublesome. Since Master Ji said that there was no plan, I was relieved. Then we'll take these things, and you can go back to your life. ”

"This ......" Ji Min smiled awkwardly, looking at the young master of the Yue clan, and then at the elder of the Yue clan who had been talking just now.

The elder of the Yue clan said to the young master of the Yue clan: "Lord Ji and the three of them have traveled thousands of miles to get here, so let them go, I'm afraid it will be too rude, and it will damage the reputation of our Yue clan." It's better to let them stay here for a few days, and prepare a return gift for them to bring back to King Cheng, so that outsiders will not think that our Yue people are not polite. ”

The young master of the Yue clan gave a thumbs up to the elder of the Yue clan and praised: "It's still the fifth uncle's thoughtfulness." The fifth uncle was already in charge of the contact between the mountains and the outside world, and these things were handed over to the fifth uncle. ”

Elder Yue said: "The young master commanded, naturally he didn't dare to slack off, but this gift ......"

The young master of the Yue clan thought for a while and said: "His Royal Highness King Cheng is a dragon son, his body is delicate, he is pampered all the year round, and his body bones should be worse than ordinary people, so bring him a box of Ten Perfect Tonic Pills." ”

Elder Yue frowned and said, "This ...... Isn't it going to be a little out of place?"

The young master of the Yue clan said: "Why is it not suitable? A person's body is the most important, if you don't have a good body, you will become an emperor like this after becoming His Royal Highness, isn't it...... That ..... Aki-sama?"

Ji Min said: "The Great Wei royal family has always been martial, so His Royal Highness King Cheng knows some martial arts, and there is no problem with his body and bones, but since it is a gift from the young master, I think His Royal Highness will like it." ”

The young master of the Yue clan nodded, and then said to the elder of the Yue clan: "You see, Lord Ji said that King Cheng will like it, and the fifth uncle will prepare according to what I said." ”

"This ...... All right. Elder Yue said helplessly, "Is there only one box of Ten Perfect Tonic Pill......s?"

The young master of the Yue clan said: "A box...... It's too little, prepare ten boxes for His Royal Highness King Cheng. By the way, prepare a few boxes for the three of them. You see that the three of them have traveled thousands of miles, and it is really hard, so I just prepared some for them so that they can make up for it. ”

Ji Min and the three of them bowed down and thanked, "Thank you, young master." ”

"I ......"

"Master Ji," the Yue Clan Elder was interrupted by the Yue Clan's Young Master as soon as he spoke, "The Ten Perfection Great Tonic Pill made by our Yue Clan is different from your Central Plains people's recipe, it is made from the unique nourishing herbs in the Xislanting Mountain. You Central Plains people, especially those of you who are officials, rich Central Plains people, who don't have three wives and four concubines, this pill is especially useful to you. ”

At the end, the young master of the Yue clan couldn't help laughing, although he couldn't see his face, but through his laughter, you could know his current expression.

The young master laughed, and Ji Min had to laugh along, but the smile was a little unnatural.

Seeing the young master speak like this, the Yue clan elders present all frowned.

The elder of the Yue clan, who was called the fifth uncle by the young master, said to the young master: "Since the young master agrees that the three of them will live in the village, I will take them to the residence to rest now. ”

The young master of the Yue clan said: "Go, go." ”
