 "..."

The Turkic girl couldn't help but remain silent. Ye Hu's status in the Turks was second only to the Khan. It was hereditary and was held by the Khan's children or the strong men in the clan.

Zhang Yuaneng, as a foreigner, serves as a Yehu in Turks, even if he is not a Yehu who is assigned to the tribe,

It can fully prove his merit...

The Turkic girl listened countless times to her parents, uncles, and other tribesmen talking about their past lives.

At that time, a blizzard could take away the lives of a tribe of ten thousand people.

A plague can kill tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, plunging tribes into desperate hunger.

It was Zhang Yuan's appearance that changed everything.

It was also he who approved the mission's entry into Chang'an.

"Then what are we doing here?"

The Turkic girl gritted her teeth and said: "Isn't it enough now to surrender to the State of Yu and send our brothers and sisters as hostages every year?

Are we going to surrender completely and let Yu State occupy our land?"

"Observe, listen, and learn."

The young man said calmly: "Just like a wolf on the prairie, they will not pounce on their prey as soon as they meet. Instead, they will hide in the dark, follow the target, observe quietly, and wait for the other party to relax and become tired.

The national power of the Turks is already weaker than that of the Yu State. This is the consensus of Khan and Mr. Zhang Yuan.

But we are the future of Turks, and we still have time.

Before the Sui Dynasty, the Sui Kingdom was even larger in area, and its military strength was even more disparate than that of neighboring countries. The final result was that the emperor was assassinated, and the entire huge country fell apart in an instant, and even the Academy could not save it.
p>

According to Mr. Zhang Yuan, the Central Plains countries have a cyclical pattern.

Their land is too big and their population is too large, so once the country gets sick, it will turn into a serious disease that cannot be suppressed.

Any opportunity may be a turning point for the Central Plains dynasty to turn from prosperity to decline.

All we can do now is study and wait.

Waiting for the moment of weakness of the Yu Kingdom to come."

Accompanied by the young man's words, the carriage team moved forward slowly.

And from the front, there was also a passionate call in Turkic language.

The third-year student from the academy, Astide Tumon, rode on a horse, passed through the Mingde City Gate, and drove towards the carriage procession.

The young man pushed open the wooden door of the carriage, greeted Asted Tumen with a bright smile, and gave the cousin he had known since childhood a big hug.

Asted Tumen patted the young man on the shoulder and said in skillful Turkic language: "Brother Que Teqin, you are taller than before."

A young man named Ashina Que Teqin also said enthusiastically: "Brother Tumen, you are also stronger than before. It seems that the food in Chang'an is good."

"Haha, it should be said that the food in the academy is good."

Astide Tumen said with a smile: "Let's go, I will take you to visit Chang'an."

West of Chang'an City, Jinguangmen.

Different from the noisy and messy area in the south of the city, the Jinguang Gate is orderly.

The envoys from the Haotian Dao Sect looked solemn and solemn, stepping on the red carpet that had been laid out and walking towards the Golden Light Sect.

On both sides of the road, Haotian believers from Chang'an City were crowded. They held flowers in their hands and watched the Taihao Mountain envoy devoutly and respectfully.

‘This is Chang’an.’

Yu Feiyu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked up at the majestic city wall.

Compared with childhood memories, the height of the Chang'an City Wall seems to have not changed, it is still towering into the clouds.

The arrow towers, soldiers, and flags on the city wall are shrouded in the rays of the morning sun, as if they are integrated with the sunshine, overlooking the countless living beings under the city wall as small as ants.

The most majestic city in the world...

Officials from Honglu Temple and priests from Yuguodao Gate welcomed the delegation into the city with a respectful and gentle attitude.

After all, Taihao Mountain is the center of Haotian Dao Sect, and the people of Yu State are still the people of Haotian.

Regardless of whether it is out of belief or interest, the officials of Honglu Temple have always maintained a respectful attitude towards the Taihao Mountain Mission.

"According to the previous agreement, you can stay at the Haotian Temple in the east of Chang'an City for meditation, or you can stay at the Haotian Audience in Daningfang.

These are thirty Chang'an city gate tokens with special symbols. Holding this token, you can pass through each city gate.

Our Honglu Temple will also send people to accompany you in the temple. If you need to visit Chang'an, you can find them as your tour guide..."

The young minister of Honglu Temple named Dou gently explained to the visitors from Taihao Mountain.

There is a whole set of tedious and complicated procedures for the envoys to come to Chang'an. They must first rest, take a bath, and then go to the Daming Palace in the evening to meet with Emperor Yu.

Cardinal Xinxiu, who led the team, nodded and said calmly: "I'm sorry to trouble Dou Shaoqing."

"Don't dare."

Facing one of the four cardinals of Taihao Mountain, the young minister of Honglu Temple unconsciously softened his body and hurriedly bowed and resigned.

After the young minister of Honglu Temple left, Cardinal Xinxiu called Yu Feiyu, "Feiyu, please divide these tokens. I want to rest."

"Yes."

Yu Feiyu nodded, took the token, and distributed it to the older students.

These tokens are in limited quantity and have special symbols on them. When using tokens to pass through the city gate, the city gate guards will definitely notice and register them.

This design is obviously to prevent the token from being lost or stolen by criminals and used for other purposes.

Maybe I will take it back after the exchange is over.

Yu Feiyu couldn't help laughing in his heart, not knowing how to evaluate Yu Ren's shrewdness and meticulousness.

The Taihao Mountain Mission passed through Jing State, Zhou State and other places. Every time they arrived in each country, they enjoyed the most noble courtesy. Only in Yu State, they were guarded like thieves.

Really...

"Heh."

Yu Feiyu shook his head, stepped out of Haotian Temple, and found an official from Honglu Temple, "Excuse me, where can I buy the latest issue of the Academy Journal?"

"There's one right across the street. The messenger will wait a moment, and I'll go buy it as soon as I get off."

The official of Honglu Temple was obviously a devout Haotian believer. When he saw Yu Feiyu talking to him, he ran across the street excitedly, bought dozens of Neo-Confucian journals from the bookstore opposite, and declined the money given by Yu Feiyu.
Yu Feiyu didn't insist, and flipped through the publications, frowning slightly.

In the new issue of the journal, in addition to introducing various new discoveries brought about by microscopy, there is a missing familiar name, "Leon, why haven't you published an article recently?"

"Is the messenger talking about Mr. Li Xiaolang from the Academy?"

The official of Honglu Temple replied: "I heard that Mr. Li Xiaolang is concentrating on developing a new drug and does not care about worldly affairs."

Yu Feiyu raised his eyebrows, "New medicine?"

The official nodded and said: "Well, it is said to be a drug that is as good as allicin. What is it called... what is Omein?

I heard about it from a friend when I went downstairs, and I only know about this name.

Allicin was extracted from garlic by Li Xiaolangjun.

Qingmeisu is probably also extracted from green plums, right?

But it is also possible that Mr. Li Xiaolang chose the name in memory of his childhood sweetheart."
