Chapter 184 Lord Chu relieves his worries

Cai Ting looked at Yuan Guimi, who was pretending to be a man, and said, "This is the envoy of the Han Dynasty, and Your Highness is Prince Yuan Guimi?"

"I am Yuan Guimi!"

Yuan Guimi agreed in Chinese, and after carefully looking at Cai Ting and others, a smile appeared on his face.

"I also ask the Han envoy to follow me. Your Excellency (mother) is already waiting at the Hot Spring Palace."

Yuan Guimi was about to lead Cai Ting and others away.

At this time, a dissatisfied voice sounded.

"Don't be that Han envoy, why don't you come to see me?"

It was Wujiutu who spoke.

Cai Ting had naturally guessed the child's name, but he pretended not to know, "Child, do you know what this means?"

Cai Ting proudly raised the Han Festival in her hand.

Without waiting for Wujiitu to answer, Cai Ting had already asked and answered his own question.

"This is the Han Festival, which represents the Han Dynasty...The Han Dynasty leads all nations, and everyone submits to them wherever they go..."

Wujiutu was not convinced, "The Huns are the great nation of hundreds of barbarians..."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Cai Ting looked up to the sky and laughed. He said to Wujiutu, "Go and ask the Xiongnu Chanyu if he dares to join the Han Dynasty to hunt Yinshan..."

After all, Wujiitu was young and didn't know what to say. He just said angrily, "My mother said that the Huns are the most powerful country in the world..."

After saying that, he led the people to the north in a panic.

Cai Ting shook his head and did not continue talking.

At this time, Yuan Guimi came over again on horseback.

Yuan Guimi apologized first, and then said: "Kunmo and others are hunting in the north, but my mother just arrived yesterday and is already in the hot spring palace."

Cai Ting said with a smile, "Your Highness, please lead the way..."

Under the leadership of Yuan Guimi and Zhao Feng, Cai Ting and his party headed east.

Soon a small valley appeared in front of everyone.

Entering the valley, everyone felt obviously much warmer. Many flowers in the valley were already blooming and looked very beautiful.

Cai Ting nodded in his mind, "I think the Hot Spring Palace should be right in front!"

Sure enough, after turning a corner, a row of Chinese-style buildings appeared in front of us.

This should be the so-called "hot spring palace".

Cai Ting guessed in her mind that it was called a "palace", but in fact it was just larger than an ordinary house in Guanzhong.

This hot spring palace is far inferior to Zhang Yue's Hou Mansion in Chang'an.

The group soon arrived in front of the Hot Spring Palace. Although the Hot Spring Palace was not big, it made Cai Ting and his party feel more friendly.

Outside the house, there is actually a circle of land with all kinds of vegetables grown in it, some of which I recognize, and some of which I don't.

"Han envoy, please come with your servant." At this time, a woman in her thirties came forward.

"This should be the Mrs. Feng mentioned in the intelligence!" Cai Ting guessed in her heart.

"But Mrs. Feng in person?" Cai Ting asked

The woman smiled and said, "My family name is Feng, but I don't dare to call my wife in front of the envoy..."

Cai Ting left her followers outside the house and followed Mrs. Feng along the plank road to the largest wooden house.

There was no complicated etiquette here as Cai Ting imagined when meeting a princess. When she arrived at the door, she could only hear some chirping sounds inside.

"The messenger will wait a moment!"

Mrs. Feng confessed and entered the room first.

At this time, the sounds in the room stopped, and then a servant came out.

"The Han envoy please come in."

Cai Ting straightened her clothes and walked into the wooden house. When she entered the wooden house, she first saw a loom. It turned out that the sound just now was the loom?

In front of the loom, a woman had just put down her belongings. Mrs. Feng, who had entered the room first, was standing next to her respectfully.

It seems that the woman must be the famous Princess Jieyou.

Different from Cai Ting's imagination of beautiful appearance and extraordinary bearing, Princess Jieyou is not dazzling at all, but rather thin.

Cai Ting did not dare to neglect, and quickly stepped forward and bowed: "Cai Ting, the envoy of the Han Dynasty, has met the princess!"

"It's been three years. I haven't seen the Han envoy for three years. This Bachi Han Festival is really nostalgic."

Princess Jieyou looked at the Hanjie in Cai Ting's hand with a look of joy on her face.

"Where did the Han envoys come from?" Princess Jieyou then asked.

Cai Ting was stunned and did not hide anything, "Your Highness, I am here on the orders of Zhang Gong, the commander of the camp in the Western Regions..."

Princess Jieyou nodded, "It turns out they are the subordinates of Marquis Yunyang!"

"What is the purpose of the Han envoy coming here?"

Princess Jieyou continued to ask

Cai Ting did not hide anything and told Princess Jieyou the purpose of her trip.

After hearing this, Princess Jieyou frowned and said, "I'm afraid it won't be easy to deal with the stallion and the Huns..."

Cai Ting smiled and said, "No problem!"

…

After receiving the news of the arrival of the Han envoys, Weng Guimi took the various Xihous in Wusun back to the place where they were stationed in the pasture.

That night in the luxurious tent of Wusun Kunmon, Weng Guimi held a grand banquet for the Han envoys.

When Cai Ting saw Weng Guimi, he immediately understood the origin of his title of Fat King.

Fortunately, Zhang Yue was not here, otherwise Weng Guimi might have been mistaken for An Lushan.

Weng Guimi looks fat, but he is not slow.

At the banquet, in accordance with Wusun custom, Cai Ting was invited to dance with him.

At the banquet, Cai Ting also met the Hun princess who was the wife of Wusun Kunmozuo.

and Nimi, his son from his predecessor Kunmo.

At the banquet, Nanimi took the initiative to drink and talk with Cai Ting's entourage for some unknown reason.

Cai Ting secretly guessed his purpose, but he still didn't know it.

Although the banquet was lively, it was not a suitable time to talk about other things.

On the third day, Weng Guimi invited Cai Ting to another felt tent alone.

Although this tent is smaller than the tent used for banquets, it is more gorgeous.

The floor is covered with rugs from Persia

Hanging on the wall are various decorations produced by Dahan and Shendu.

The utensils used were also more exquisite. Cai Ting looked carefully and found that all the pottery was produced in Yanqi.

The antlers that Yuan Guimi had hunted with so much effort a few days ago have also been hung up.

The most special thing is a gold-plated human head drinking vessel.

Cai Ting guessed that this drinking vessel should be made from the head of the beheaded Yuezhi King, and it is also a symbol of Wusun Kunmo's power today.

Princess Jieyou and Weng Guimi were sitting on the blanket at this time. Different from the previous time, Princess Jieyou was dressed up like Mrs. Wu Sunyou this time.

Cai Ting walked forward and bowed to Weng Guimi.

"The envoy of the Han Dynasty, Luntai Chief Shi Caiting, met Wusun Kunmo."

Weng Guimi also stood up and returned the salute, then said, "Han envoy, please sit down!"

Because the strength of each country is different, when the vassal states of the Han Dynasty formulated etiquette, they also divided the etiquette for Han envoys to meet the kings and leaders of each country into three classes.

At the lowest level, such as Shanshan, Jingjue, etc., the Han envoys would not only not be able to pay homage, but also needed the king to pay homage first.

The intermediate-level Wusun, Kangju, Yueshi and other large countries with a population of hundreds of thousands worshiped each other.

As for the highest level, now there is only the Xiongnu Chanyu.

"What's the matter with the Han envoy?"

After Cai Ting sat down, Weng Guimi took the initiative to ask
