This is a very brightly dressed team. There are more than a dozen men and women, each with a tall pure white horse. They are all dressed in brocade and have jade belts. The saddles and stirrups are also gilded.
The young woman among them was wearing a gorgeous bright silver knight's armor. She was sitting on a horse with orange bouquets on her back and front. Behind her were two maids, each holding a sunshade. There were two rows of male guards of the same height on the left and right.
One of the leading guards shouted loudly, "Commander Helian, the special envoy of the State of Meng, has arrived!"
A group of city defense troops came from behind and drove pedestrians away from the group.
"It turns out to be Your Excellency the female general God! What a grand occasion." Ding Kui smiled and held his hand over He Lian Yu.
"Hey! That big guy in front, get out of the way!" A maid scolded Hengzhu.
Hengzhu turned around and glared, but had to get out of the way.
Now everyone in the DPRK with some discernment can see that our country wants to negotiate peace with Meng, and the key figure in it is He Lianyu.
He Lianyu came to Shouyang City to discuss peace talks with his country on the pretext of congratulating Shaodianrong on his birthday, so he arrived at Shouyang City in advance, a few days earlier than Ding Kui.
She swaggers around the city with the title of special envoy and gives face to everyone she meets. Even Jinan will greet her with a smile. Although Hengzhu is the master knight, he must be able to avoid her when he sees her.
"Hey! Isn't this the consort of Shaodian Kingdom?" He Lianyu looked surprised, as if he met an acquaintance whom he hadn't seen for many years while wandering the street.
"Ah! Well, Your Excellency the Special Envoy, my wife, Princess Shaodian, and the Supervisor are also here. I will introduce you to you."
Seriously speaking, this is the first time Ding Kui and He Lianyu have met in a formal setting. They could not tell anyone about their previous meetings, and no one might believe them if they told them.
In everyone's mind, the only chance for Ding Kui and He Lianyu to meet was during the battle outside Nanqiu County. It's hard to say whether they exchanged letters after that, because one was in Jiangdong and the other in Jiangxi, and they were not heard of privately.
It crosses the Tongyuan River, so there is no possibility of meeting.
"I'm so happy! I heard that Princess Luan is the most beautiful woman in Shaodian Kingdom. I have long wanted to see her." He Lianyu urged his horse to follow Ding Kui and walked towards the carriage.
Feng Run hurriedly came forward and said, "Your Majesty the Special Envoy, Her Royal Highness the Princess's carriage and horses are stuck. It is not appropriate to get off the car to meet her here. Please get on the carriage and have a chat."
He couldn't let Shaodian Luan get out of the car and show his face before entering Shouyang City. This was not in line with etiquette.
"The princess invites me, how dare I not respond?" No matter how awesome the Siren Emperor was, he was one point shorter than Shao Dianluan at this time, so he could only call himself "I".
"Consort Ding, do you want us together?" She smiled brightly at Ding Kui.
Ding Kui felt a sudden shock in his heart and quickly shook his head and said, "Excuse me, sir. The carriage is small, so I won't get in."
"Keke, don't leave. Come and sit with me together. I want to use my country's place to entertain you and your wife." He Lianyu smiled and got on the carriage.
The white horse guard ran towards Feng Run and said loudly, "The special envoy is returning to his station! Sir, please clear the way!"
"This..." Feng Run hesitated.
He is the welcoming envoy, and his task is to welcome Shaodian Luan and Ding Kui. He has no responsibility to send the Meng envoy. However, as an official of the Protocol Department of the Senate, he cannot refuse the request of the Meng envoy.
Shaodian Luan's voice came from the car, "I'm going to sit with Sister Helian for a while."
"Yes! I obey my order." Feng Run felt relieved.
The carriage set off again, with He Lianyu's guards guarding both sides, and Ding Kui and Feng Run leading the way in front of the carriage.
"Ding Kui, are you scared?" Heng Zhu pointed at Ding Kui on the roadside.
"The special envoy of the State of Meng has been invited. I won't play with you now. I will teach you a lesson next time." Ding Kui didn't even look at Heng Zhu.
"Insolent! If you dare to delay the distinguished guest's schedule again, I will take you down immediately and send you to the senate prison."
Now Feng Run doesn't want to give Heng Zhu any face. There are distinguished guests from both countries on the carriage, and the Senate Elder has to listen to him here.
"You!" Hengzhu clenched his fingers into fists, but his reason reminded him that if he bumped into the greeter in front of Shouyang City Gate, someone would really come to arrest him, and it would be normal for him to be imprisoned in the senate prison for three to five days.
He watched the carriage drive into the city gate, and his attendant ran over and said, "The villain has informed Prince Man, and I believe he will be here soon."
"It's useless." Hengzhu shook his head gently, "The special envoy of the Meng Kingdom is here, and I have to give you face when the empress comes."
Special times create special people. Before the peace talks were finalized, He Lianyu was the nemesis of all the arrogant and domineering people in Shouyang City.
The facts turned out to be just as Hengzhu expected. Jiman rushed to East Street in a hurry, blocked the way of the carriage, and proposed to take Shao Dianluan into the palace to meet the queen. However, Helianyu stuck his head out of the car window and only asked, "
Are you sure you want to steal my guest?"
Jiman hesitated for a long time, not daring to answer directly.
"Your Highness, are we not allowed to return to our base?" Then He Lianyu's guards came forward to negotiate.
Ji Man didn't stop Shao Dian Luan and Ding Kui even though they were in trouble.
Feng Run did not leave after sending the people to the Mengguo Posthouse. He said that he had to wait for Ding Kui and his wife to come out and send them to the Shaodian State Posthouse before completing the task. A guard secretly told him, "Come back tomorrow morning. Today
They won’t leave until later.”
He Lian Yu didn't know what kind of magic she cast, but she actually made Shao Dian Luan laugh again and again. He would hug her arm and call her "Sister Yu" to act like a baby.
Arriving at the inner courtyard, Ding Kui finally couldn't help but ask, "When did you become good sisters?"
"You need to take care of it!" He Lianyu grabbed Shao Dianluan's hand, "This is a little secret between us, don't tell him."
"Of course! Can't Sister Yu be a good sister to me?" Shao Dian Luan asked Ding Kui.
Ding Kui opened his mouth wide and was speechless. After a while, he said, "Well, ha, Sir Helian," almost shouting out the word "Hai", "How did you know we entered the east gate at that time?"
"Oh? The girl you talked about yesterday is Sister Yu?" Shao Dian Luan suddenly remembered what Ding Kui said.
"Kekeke, does the consort have an exquisite heart with seven orifices?" He Lianyu patted her left chest and heart, "You can actually guess that I came to pick you up specially."
This hint couldn't be more obvious. She planted a love in Ding Kui's heart. Although she couldn't monitor what Ding Kui was thinking in real time, she could have a premonition of Ding Kui's location.
"The Helian family is an alliance with us, and Sister Yu is our only friend in Shouyang City. With your intelligence and the recent rumors, how could you not guess that I am in trouble? You can still see through my double vision.
That's it." Ding Kui explained to the two women at once.
"It turns out that Sister Yu has been secretly helping us in Meng Guo all these years!" Shao Dianluan suddenly realized.
"It's not help, just mutual use." He Lianyu took Ding Kui and his wife to their room. "It's very safe here. I dare say that even the magicians of our country cannot eavesdrop on our conversation."
"So powerful!" Shao Dian Luan looked around the room, "I don't see anything special. By the way, when did you form an alliance?"
He Lianyu looked at Ding Kui, meaning you should explain.
"Oh, this, I still don't know anything about it. I once captured a Meng country spy, who happened to be a member of the Helian family. I admired Commander Helian's ability very much, so I let the spy go and gave him to Helian.
Commander, take charge..." Ding Kui made up a story on the spur of the moment.
You must not tell Shaodian Luan about the Siren Emperor, otherwise their lives will be in danger.
Shaodian Luan listened and walked slowly to the bed, "You?" Ding Kui looked at He Lianyu.
He Lianyu raised her index finger to her lips, "Shh!" to signal Ding Kui not to say more.
Shaodian Luan sat on the bed and then fell down.
Ding Kui quickly stepped forward to check and asked, "Is she asleep?"
"She is in a fantasy world, listening to your stories on a loop."
"Is it necessary to do this?" Ding Kui was dissatisfied.
He Lianyu said nonchalantly, "Unless you want to make up more stories, this is easy, isn't it?"
"Hey, it's all my fault."
"It's understandable. I know a lot of people's secrets. It feels very uncomfortable to have secrets in my heart but not be able to tell them."
"You are born to lie, and I don't have your talent. Why are you here this time? Just for peace talks between the two countries?" Ding Kui suspected that He Lianyu had other motives.
"Do you know black crystal iron?" He Lianyu actually gave him a wink.
Ding Kui quickly avoided her eyes and asked, "What is that?"
He Lianyu briefly explained, "Qi State has built black crystal armor and has used it in actual combat. The effect is amazing. I originally wanted to sneak into Diyan Lake secretly, but there are powerful guards there, so I can't get close."
"No wonder, no wonder there are people in Qi State smuggling weapons and equipment in large quantities. It seems that the black crystal iron ore reserves in Diyan Lake are amazing, and Qi State wants to eliminate conventional weapons and equipment." Ding Kui immediately connected several pieces of news.
"So, now that I'm here, I have to ensure that you leave your country with dignity."
"This is a lot of information! Why do I feel like a chess piece?" Ding Kui was alert.
He Lianyu’s trip is not an easy one!
The black crystal iron produced by the Qi State is at most related to the Cao State, and at most it is related to the Meng State and the Ancient Yuan Empire. What does it have to do with the Ji State and the Shaodian State?
"If the matter at Diyan Lake is not properly resolved, the Southern Continent will fall into a large-scale war. It is very likely that the Northern Empire will break through the barrier of the Hengduan Mountains in one fell swoop and extend its hand into the Southern Continent. Do you want to be a chess piece or a puppet?"
"How powerful is black crystal armor?" Ding Kui realized how important this special mineral was.
"It can withstand attacks of level five combat power. Whether it's fighting spirit or magic, ordinary soldiers can use it. Even your crossbow can't penetrate it at close range."
Ding Kui was silent.
This is equipment that can change the situation on the mainland. No country wants to see other countries possess it alone.
After a while, he asked, "Are there any defects?"
"Yes! After the energy is exhausted, the defense against fighting spirit and magic will be weakened, and it is only slightly stronger than fine armor." There is black crystal iron in the memory bank of the Siren Emperor.
"It still depends on storage capacity and production."
"That's right." He Lianyu admired Ding Kui's reaction, "I guess Qi State can use it to wipe out the Southern Continent."
"The premise is that Qi State can conceal us for long enough, and I will participate in the layout!" Ding Kui vaguely guessed He Lianyu's true purpose.
