Chapter 117: Northern Barbarian Envoy
On September 10, just as Luo Li was recuperating from the wind and cold, in the post station at the junction of Huangzhou and Wangzhou, the Northern Barbarian envoys and their entourage were resting here.
In previous years, there was often friction between the two countries, and most of the people of Huangzhou did not want to see these royal families in the Northern Barbarians.
Domineering, tyrannical, and murderous are synonymous with them.
In the month that the Northern Barbarian envoys crossed Huangzhou, the assassins alone encountered four encounters, most of them hired murderers to take revenge and the like.
In the past, when the two countries fought, the border towns suffered heavy casualties, but now that the mission is going south, some villages and towns have raised funds to buy the murderers, but most of them are shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and they have not even touched the corners of Anuerle's clothes.
Hate grows over time.
Even if the Northern Barbarians took the initiative to sue for peace last year and signed the Tongshi Treaty, it would be difficult to extinguish the resentment in the hearts of the people in the north.
In addition to the second prince and the little princess, there were two nobles and two envoys, and the rest of the group of big men were escorting gifts.
The group has not entered the territory of Huangzhou for many years, the wind and rain in the Qi country for a hundred years, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the big city is very lively on the way.
The second prince, Anuerle, sat at the table, took a sip of Ma ** tea and sighed: "The Phoenix City we passed through a few days ago was so prosperous, I really don't know what the king of Kyushu will be like." ”
Anurzhen also picked up a bowl, took a sip, and echoed: "This time I came with the second brother to really have a long experience, Kyushu doesn't have cattle and sheep grasslands, but the downtown in this town is really interesting!"
"Sister, do you remember, when you enter the territory of Wangzhou, you are not allowed to whip people with your whip at will!"
Anuerle supported his forehead, his little sister, with a stubborn personality, has been pampered since she was a child, and when she came to Qi Country, she still regarded it as her own territory, and she picked up the whip when she saw something unpleasant.
Anur Zhen is not as tall as the Northern Barbarian woman, and her petite body is just past Anuerle's waist.
Her hair was tied high into a braid, the braid was dotted with white stars, she was sandwiched with silver ornaments, she was dressed in a bright red coat and a pair of black shiny leather boots, and a black leather whip pinned to her waist, which was majestic.
"Got it, second brother. "Anur Zhen Nunu mouth, and teach her like a child?
Shen Sheng, the palm of the Wangdu Rite Academy, took Lin Song and the interpreter to hurry to them, and several people had received a letter saying that the Beiban group would arrive tomorrow, but who knew that the other party had good horses, and the time was shortened by half a day.
"Second brother, a high-ranking official of the Qi State. Anurzhen pointed ahead and quickly ate the naan in his hand.
"Don't talk nonsense for a while, or let people look down. ”
Anur gave him a blank look and said nothing.
Shen Sheng handed over to the accompanying ceremonial officials in Huangzhou according to the number of etiquette, and arranged the residence of the Siyi branch library for several people, and the etiquette was comprehensive.
......
......
Luo Li's illness is not light, and he has been working hard for days and has been injured in the Hundred Demon Realm before, and this wind and cold has hooked up all the previous problems.
Li Zi, the housekeeper of Muwang's Mansion, was afraid that she would live in the calligraphy and painting courtyard and no one would take care of her, so she arranged a carriage to take her back to the house that day, and Luo Li had been asleep and didn't feel it at all.
Yuan Qin and Lou Xiaoyun took care of her day and night, and she was still asleep most of the time. The two thought that she had something else wrong, and quietly sent someone to invite Su Xian.
Su Xian has been busy with medicine refining and wedding matters these days, and knowing that Xiao Wu is sick, he still comes to the house every day to decoct medicine in person. After the diagnosis, he only said that she was overworked and told her not to disturb her.
On the fifteenth day of September, when Lori was able to get out of bed and walk around, she sat in the hall with her coat draped and drinking tea.
Yuan Qin saw that she hadn't eaten much in the past few days, and she lost a lot of weight and her waist was like a willow branch that was easy to break, which was really distressing, so she turned around and went out to order the kitchen to add vegetables.
In the past few days, Luo Li has closed his consciousness and rested well, and the previous fatigue has dissipated. She ate something and crawled back into bed to rest.
At this time, the Yanyang royal capital is very lively, Anuerle and his party enter the city from the main gate of the south gate, the four walls of Yanyang are built with a high atmosphere, and there is a towering trend into the clouds. The main city is equipped with four main city gates, and each city gate is equipped with nine golden gates, highlighting the image of the bell ringing and eating in the Qi Kingdom.
This scene gave this group of friends on the grassland a stunned sight.
After Anuer entered the Wangzhou area, he was amazed several times that the people of Wangzhou were thriving, the towns were next to the towns, the villages were next to the villages, and the official roads that were interconnected were also wide and flat.
Anourle's complexion gradually became more and more impenetrable as the surrounding scenery became more and more prosperous. He boasted that the north was quite rich, and the newly built main city was also magnificent and luxurious, and now it was like a frog at the bottom of a well.
Anurzhen rode a horse and followed alongside, she was young and had a high spirit, and it was obvious that she didn't know much, which also shocked this scene.
A middle-aged man on the right of the two was as gentle as jade, but he was calm.
There is Weng City inside, the main road paved with bluestone is wide and flat, several people pass by the main street of Nanfang, bustling, and the people are neatly dressed.
The roadside shops are dazzling, the small merchants selling on the roadside are shouting vigorously, and the restaurants in the alley are even more luxuriously decorated. Later, the group passed by the corner of Wenlin Street, where all kinds of antique calligraphy and painting shops were lively and crowded.
Anourle sighed in his heart: Antiques in prosperous times, gold in troubled times, he is right.
The next day, according to the etiquette of the audience, Anuer and his party entered the Taixuan Hall of the palace to meet them.
In the main hall, hundreds of civil and military officials are lined up on both sides, wearing crimson official uniforms and military official uniforms, and the styles of male and female officials are different.
Anuerle saw an old acquaintance standing at the forefront - Qi Jinghao, they fought several times last year, and when he saw his good swordsmanship, he was very impressed by this prince.
After Qi Jinghao took leave, it was the first time he went to the court, and he wanted to shirk it, but he asked the staff in the palace to stop it. But he still has a straight face, and he doesn't look interested.
Anourle withdrew his gaze and ordered the gift to be brought up, and the rest of the horses had been sent to the horse feeding division.
Emperor Qi sat on it, on the nine-step golden jade platform, resplendent in gold, showing the majesty of the Son of Heaven in Kyushu.
The first time Anur saw Emperor Qi, he knew since he was a child that Emperor Qi, who had fought in the field between the two countries, had a great achievement of one enemy against a hundred, and even his heavenly father (his father) praised this person in front of him.
Now it is middle-aged, showing a slight languid.
After that, the two said some polite words, most of which were innocuous official words about mutual trade, war and common prosperity.
In the evening, in the Deyang Hall of the Imperial Palace, hundreds of dancers danced in response, and red brocade flowers bloomed in the splendid palace.
Emperor Qi on the main seat was drinking, holding a chopstick in his left hand, beating the wine bottle with the rhythm of vocal music, but he was happy and happy. The queen beside her had a serious face and didn't like to smile.
On the second seat, the Northern Barbarian prince and the envoys placed Kyushu dishes and Northern Barbarian dishes, and after singing and dancing, he got up and walked to Taichung with the princess.
Anuerle Kyushu can barely speak, he said: "Respected Emperor Qi, today Anuer and his sister Anuerzhen in addition to offering gold, silver, jewelry, horses, horses, and horses, they also brought a royal painter of the Northern Barbarians. ”
When Emperor Qi heard the word "painter", he became interested, "I don't know which painter is traveling with you?"
