826. Chapter 826 The man in gray is Tang's enterprise
After waiting for a while, those people finally approached.
Someone said:
"We need to speed up..."
"Chief, you haven't told us the mission of this trip yet. What are you going to do by digging us up in the middle of the night?"
Some people complained.
"Run to Jiangcheng Snow Mountain to pick the thousand-year-old 'snow lotus' that has grown on the snow mountain..."
"What? Picking snow lotus?" the shrill man shouted.
"This is the task assigned to us by His Highness King Xuan."
Huangfu Xuan was the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty.
He is also the person responsible for sending the princess of Tang Dynasty to get married this time.
The Tang State and the Snowy Country have always been relatively friendly, so when Huangfu Xuan comes to the Snowy Country, it can be said that it is very safe and he will be treated politely.
Huangfu Xuan was even more determined to promote the marriage between Tang and Xirong, so he stepped up and sent the Tang princess to Xirong.
It's just that Tang State is far away from Xuerong, and we didn't expect that Xiliang would come out halfway.
He even wanted to send the princess to get married.
Originally, the marriage between the Edelweiss Kingdom and the Tang Kingdom was very clear.
It's very subtle to suddenly come out of Xiliang and take Tianding as a dowry.
Fortunately, Tianding is no longer in Xiliang's hands.
However, the Tang State also had to give enough dowry to the Edelweiss State to show its sincerity.
Snow lotus is a very good dowry.
Although the snow lotus grows on the territory of the Edelweiss Kingdom, it was presented to King Edelweiss as a flower to pay homage to the Buddha.
However, snow lotus is very difficult to pick. Even top-notch experts have a hard time reaching the top of the snow-capped mountains.
"Chief, why would His Highness King Xuan give us such a task? Everyone knows that snow lotus is very difficult to pick..." More people complained. There were about seven or eight men in gray clothes in the group.
"Hmph, you idiots. You are eating the king's salary and worrying about the king. Since His Highness King Xuan gave the order, we only have to do it."
"We didn't say we wouldn't do it...but it's really difficult to pick snow lotus..."
"No matter how difficult it is, we must collect snow lotus. Only in this way can we, the Tang State, hope to successfully reconcile with the Xuerong Kingdom. You must know that although the Xiliang Kingdom does not have the Tianding, who knows what means the Xiliang Kingdom will use to promote the marriage.
.His Royal Highness Prince Xuan has made it clear that if we cannot collect snow lotus during this trip, none of us will come back."
