Gyeonggi-do is located in the northern part of China, so winter always comes earlier than in the south. The bustling scene in the market has also become cold due to the cold north wind. However, there are several post houses on the Royal Road in Gyeonggi-do.

The surrounding area was bustling with activity. Both sides of the Royal Avenue were lined with soldiers from the defense camp. Their red cloaks fluttering in the wind, their solemn black armors, their unsmiling rough faces, and their lack of anger and self-respect made the common people intimidated.

It seemed that the Chu envoy who was driving slowly on the Royal Road and should have attracted much attention did not exist.

The two carriages of the Chu State's envoys marched one after another. The honor guards on both sides were mixed and orderly, and followed closely behind were a hundred white horses and white armored guards. Even the scabbards of their swords were white. The neat pace made the onlookers of the Chinese State admire Chu.

The strictness of military management.

The man in white at the head of the carriage saw the envious and longing faces of the Chinese people and couldn't help but smile: "My great Chu, the Baimu Army is the elite among the elite. I'm afraid the Emperor of China will inevitably feel ashamed when he sees it."

Bar!"

Another old man in rich clothes in the carriage smiled and said: "Your Highness, it is better to speak less. You can say such words freely in the territory of Dachu, but it is better to be cautious when entering the territory of China."

The man looked slightly displeased and said coldly: "What are you afraid of? Could it be that Zhu Chengyuan can kill me? I am the second prince of Da Chu."

The old man in splendid clothes reminded: "Your Highness, please don't forget that when you enter China this time, your identity is our envoy of the Great Chu. No one knows that you are the second prince of my Wang Xinai. In the future, you will be my crown prince of the Great Chu. It is better to be cautious."

OK."

After being reminded by the old man in colorful clothes, the man nodded and said: "The teacher is teaching the student a lesson for being reckless."

The old man in rich clothes nodded with satisfaction. The man in front of him was named Heng Shuili. He was the second prince of the Chu State and a strong contender for the position of the Chu State's crown prince. Although various countries have always followed the principle of establishing a crown prince, not the young, but the elder.

However, the old man in colorful clothes still felt that the second prince in front of him could compete with him. Not to mention his decades of foundation in the Chu Kingdom, the fact that the second prince's mother and concubine were deeply favored by the King of Chu was more than the current eldest prince.

Advantages, the influence of the Emperor's family should not be underestimated. Coupled with his careful teaching over the years, he believed that the young man in front of him had the strength to compete for that position.

On the street, a Chinese captain riding a horse shouted loudly: "Brother

Let us welcome our friends from Chu State in our own way."

I don’t know if the captain was dissatisfied with the momentum of the White Dusk Army or if he really wanted to welcome the Chu delegation. As soon as he finished speaking, thousands of defense battalion soldiers on both sides of the Royal Avenue suddenly raised their spears and struck them hard.

On the ground, along with the sound of "bang bang", "huha" sounded one after another. The white horse under the Bai Mu Army's crotch seemed to be frightened. The horses collided with each other from time to time, causing a commotion in the rear.

When the old man in white heard the shouts of the Chinese soldiers, he quickly lifted the curtain of the carriage and asked, "What's going on behind the scenes?"

A guard reported: "The horses of the White Dusk Army behind were frightened by the shouts and became a little panicked."

The old man's face instantly darkened, and he threw down the curtain angrily and said, "You are trying to show off your power to us before we even enter the palace. Do you really think that our Chu army is easy to bully!"

On the contrary, the second prince Heng Shuili, who was completely different from him just now, calmed down a lot and said with a smile: "Teacher, don't be angry. This is just a competition between soldiers' momentum. I think Zhu Chengyuan has not fallen enough to use this method to humiliate him."

Us. Besides, at this time, who doesn’t know that the border between Hua and Anli is turbulent, and if they are not careful, they will fight each other. He will not be stupid enough to offend us at this time."

The old man nodded happily. The second prince was his greatest hope in his life. He spent countless days and nights putting in a lot of effort to gradually carve a strong-blooded and arrogant prince that no one expected into what he is now. In his heart

, rather than saying that he is the second prince, it is better to say that he is a piece of art that he uses to climb to the top.

The fourth-rank general of the defense battalion who led the way rode up to the Hua captain and scolded in a low voice: "Wang Dazhu, what the hell are you doing? Can you afford to take care of the problem when the Chu delegation has a problem?"

"General, look at how arrogant they all are in the Baimu Army. I wish I could tear off their heads and use them as balls to kick." Wang Dazhu, the captain of the school, muttered.

The fourth-grade general laughed and scolded: "It's only as good as your kid, be honest."

Wang Dazhu approached the fourth-rank general with a flattering look and said with a smile: "General, I heard that there will be civil and military struggles after the mission's visit to China. Can you tell the general that I will be the one to fight with martial arts?

?”

The fourth-grade general said angrily: "I know

You kid didn't hold anything back!"

The Chu State envoy was the first to enter China and Beijing, so relatively speaking, it was taken seriously by the officials in the Ministry of Rites, and at least they had done enough to save face.

Yin Wenfei, the head of the Ministry of Rites, and two of his capable men were waiting at the entrance of the post house early. Seeing the carriage of the Chu State Mission approaching, he took several officials to the side of the official road and raised his hand to indicate that the rituals and music should be played together.

to show welcome.

The second prince of the Chu State, Heng Shuili, helped his teacher Dugu Li to step out of the carriage slowly. When the old man saw Yin Wenfei, the head of the Ministry of Etiquette, he immediately greeted him with a smile and walked forward quickly: "Dugu Li, the envoy of the Chu State, would you please greet me personally?"

, feel honored.”

The old man ignored the second prince standing respectfully behind him, because this time he was on a mission to China, the second prince Heng Shuili was just a minor official in the mission, and the Chu State did not list his true identity on the mission list.

in the list.

Yin Wenfei returned the favor and said with a smile: "I am Yin Wenfei, the head of the Ministry of Rites. In the name of His Majesty, the Emperor of our country, I am here to welcome your delegation."

"Please take me to express my gratitude to His Majesty the Emperor of your country." Dugu Li said politely, and the second prince Heng Shuili behind him also followed suit, without any airs of a prince.

In the Qingyuan Hall, Lai Si, the chief minister of the cabinet, leaned over and said: "Your Majesty, the envoy of the State of Chu, Dugu Li, has arrived at the post house. Except for a man with a crown, the others are all officials registered with the Inspectorate."

Emperor Zhu Chengyuan nodded and said: "Huangfu Leng is not here, go and ask Inspector Li Wei to investigate this unknown petty official. The person who can travel with the mission should not be an unknown petty official. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle."

When diplomatic missions from various countries come to visit us, we must not lose any face.”

"Yes, Your Majesty," Lai Si replied.

"Also, where are the envoys from other countries?" Zhu Chengyuan asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, there is no news yet from the border troops greeting Di Rong and Anli. Qingqiu and Hungary should be able to arrive at the post house within five days. The envoys from Dongyingying and Nieyang have just entered Huaishan Road. In addition,

, Li'er Kingdom and Shijiu Kingdom will be able to enter Liaodong Road in two days." Lai Si replied.
