076 Reasons for visiting
It was almost afternoon when Han Dongwen woke up from his bedroom.
"You still can't do this. Sooner or later, people will be suspicious..."
He lay on the bed and yawned, then sat up quite tiredly.
Guo Jie Ke agreed to his two requests and originally wanted to introduce him to the inner gate immediately, but Han Dongwen still used various excuses to frustrate him.
Does he really believe in himself?
If it was true, Han Dongwen always felt a little strange, as if he was too relaxed.
But if not, the event reward in the game clearly states that he has not exposed his identity, what on earth is this...
"Your Highness, you are awake."
Han Dongwen came back from his thoughts. Xiao Hongdou had already prepared the clothes he was going to change into in the morning, and also presented a piece of paper. After waiting for him to change clothes, he took a few steps back.
"Your Highness, are you... going to visit West Asia?"
Han Dongwen sighed and looked at the note presented by Xiao Hongdou just now.
"It seems so."
Visiting West Asia with Concubine Chi?
Chi Hanqing, whom he had been hiding from for so long, finally couldn't hide anymore.
The only people who can order and arrange themselves in this way are Tantai and his son from the National Military Department. Now that they want to intervene in the harem, do they want to get rid of Jiang Keyin as a risky factor as soon as possible?
"Previously... Taishu Pavilion also sent a message, asking you to go to Xuanrimen as soon as possible. Master Tantai is waiting for you."
Han Dongwen pondered for a moment and then walked straight out of the dormitory.
Xiao Hongdou was stunned for a moment, and was about to follow him when she was stopped by Han Dongwen.
"You stay first and take off work today to see if there are any people on duty at Chiya Palace.

Starship.
The Star Boat is a huge ship, but it does not sail on the waterway, but hangs in the air.
This very large ship is made of ebony wood and gilded with gold, and eight or sixty-four fine wind gathering stones are dotted along the keel. It travels in the night sky like flying stars in the sky. This ship has no oars or sails and can accommodate hundreds of people.
There are warehouses, kitchens, and even the highest-standard cabin rooms. This palace in the sky of the King of Simeng is currently floating in the Hanging Sun Gate.
The deck can be said to be vast. Dozens of guards from the National Military Division, wearing uniform black armor, are guarding the edge of the deck. Standing in the middle are none other than Tantai Fu and Wen Yongxing.
"Your Highness, he has been busy recently and has come a little late. I hope the Chief Secretary can understand."
Wen Yongxing cupped his fists and bowed.
Tantai Fu said nothing, but looked at the deck of the starship at his feet: "Master Wen, in your opinion, why does His Highness need to visit the Principality of West Asia this time?"
Wen Yongxing did not raise his head to look at him, but still lowered his head and replied: "Winter has entered and the New Year is approaching. Could it be that the annual tribute with the Principality of West Asia has to be increased again?"
This is not good news. Simeng already has Taka as a big creditor. The cloth, rice, etc. currently shipped to the Principality of West Asia are also at extremely low prices. If more are added, I am afraid that the large and small sects of Simeng will suffer.
Complain.
Tantaifu looked at Wen Yongxing and did not answer whether what he said was correct or not. He just raised his head and said lightly: "It seems that His Highness has finally woken up."
"The Holy One is here——!"
Han Dongwen finally arrived.
This was the second time he saw Tantai Fu, but this time he finally felt a little more confident.
Not to mention that he can compete with the other party, but at least he understands some of the logic of the other party's actions and some of the other party's intentions.
He also knew that there was a small loophole in the long embankment of the army under the man in front of him, in that inconspicuous corner of Bailan Mountain.
"Your Highness."
This place was no different than the Taishu Pavilion where no one else was there last time. Tantai looked at Han Dongwen who was being helped up the stairs by a soldier, and slightly put his legs together and nodded slightly.
Han Dongwen quickly signaled his disapproval, carefully observed the star boat from front to back, and stepped forward with admiration in his heart.
"Master Tantai, Master Wen."
He greeted in a low voice that only the two people nearby could hear.
The emperor should only treat his ministers as ministers in front of others, but Tantai Fu would definitely not like him very much.
"Your Highness, I am requesting an audience this time because of Your Highness's visit to the Principality of West Asia."
Tantaifu signaled Han Dongwen to move to the side of the deck. From the height of the star boat, he could almost overlook the Huajie side.
"Lord Tantai, when...am I going to visit?"
Han Dongwen was a little embarrassed. Was this an arrangement that King Wen had made before, or was it an unexpected incident?
Should he know the time?
"Your Highness, His Highness Prince Gao hopes that you will leave in ten days at the latest." Tantaifu lowered his head slightly and replied in a deep voice.
Han Dongwen breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking about it, he shouldn't be able to remember these things clearly in the first place. They should go in the left ear and out the right ear.
But who is Prince Gao? Why does he command me?
Isn’t the head of state of the Principality of West Asia called the Grand Duke? Doesn’t the female Grand Duchess already have a child?
But the grand duke’s child shouldn’t be called prince, right?
This should not be too different from Han Dongwen's own memory. The Grand Duke of the Principality of West Asia also appeared in the promotional pv. It is impossible for such a big person to disappear out of thin air.
"How is the relationship between the Grand Duke and Prince Gao... lately?"
Han Dongwen considered the words and wanted to inquire about the possible relationship between mother and son, but saw Wen Yongxing looking at him up and down with a complicated expression: "His Royal Highness Prince Gao... must still be very fond of the Grand Duke. His Highness is very fond of the Grand Duke when he visits.
Don't think anything wrong and make Taka feel angry again."
I?
Do you think wrongly?
To whom, to the Grand Duke?
Han Dongwen suddenly remembered the promotional PV he had seen before. The Grand Duke of the Principality of West Asia blocked the wind and snow for the caravan in the ice and snow. Someone also responded to the post and called her the girl with white hair...
Prince Gao is not her son, but a prince from Taka who has great intentions for her or West Asia!
Yes, no wonder he had to listen to whatever Prince Gao said.
Whatever people say, that's what Taka says.
Simeng and Siya are tied together, and they are not enough to defeat Taka!
"No, no, these concubines are enough for now, then..."
Han Dongwen scratched his head awkwardly, and suddenly seemed to remember something: "So, is it Taka who wants me to go to West Asia this time?"
This is not a meeting between Simeng and West Asia, but a game between Simeng and West Asia under the supervision of Thakar?
What are you trying to win? To put it superficially, the prince likes the beautiful Grand Duchess, but he doesn't like Han Dongwen.
Isn't this just giving up benefits to the Principality of West Asia year after year under Taka's supervision?
Tantai glanced at him again: "Exactly, please make preparations as soon as possible, Your Highness."
His expression was a little solemn, and he stepped forward and gently grabbed Han Dongwen's wrist: "This time is related to the performance of Simeng and Xia in front of Taka. I hope that His Highness will be careful in his words and deeds and do his part."
Tantai Fu's voice was already very deep, and the words he just said were lowered and almost like a warning. Han Dongwen swallowed: "Master Tantai, I... what should I do?"
"We don't know yet."
Wen Yongxing on the side suddenly spoke.
"His Highness is the emperor of our country. His Highness should accept the deal on behalf of the people if we have studied it and accepted it. Only in this way can the foundation of Simeng be preserved."
