It was dusk, night and day merged, making it difficult to see clearly.
Suddenly, countless torches lit up all around, lighting up the originally dark night.
In the firelight, Xiao Chengyi saw the man's face clearly, and Feng Changling and others naturally saw it too, but they were all very calm and stood still without moving.
Lan Du walked towards them and said in a calm voice: "I heard that you are envoys from the Central Plains. Is there anything that can prove your identity?"
Xiao Chengyi chuckled: "Don't you know our identity, Imperial Master?"
Lan Du raised his eyes: "I don't understand what you are talking about."
Ye Xiuchen was stunned. He stared at Lan Du and asked excitedly, "What's wrong with you? You don't recognize us anymore?"
The man in front of them was none other than Beichen's national master, Xuan Du.
A few days ago, he led troops to meet the enemy but suddenly disappeared. Xiao Chengyi suspected that he had come to the royal court, but as expected, he was here.
But he acted very strange, which was really strange.
Lan Du said: "I have never seen you."
Ye Xiuchen was shocked and wanted to say something. But Xiao Chengyi stopped him, smiled and saluted Lan Du: "I'm sorry, it's too dark and we recognized the wrong person. I don't know what to call the young master?"
Lan Du said: "Prince of Mobei, Lan Du."
Xiao Chengyi raised his eyebrows: "It turns out that the young master is the prince recognized by King Mobei. He is indeed very handsome."
Lan Du said: "I don't dare to take it seriously."
Xiao Chengyi took out a document from his arms and handed it to Lan Du: "This is the letter of credence from our Majesty to King Mobei. I hope Prince Landu will read it."
Lan Du took the letter of credence and opened it. After glancing at it, he said: "It turns out he is the regent. I am disrespectful. Please come in."
He invited people in.
The road to the king's tent was a bit long. As he walked on the road, Xiao Chengyi asked, "I wonder if the people from the Huyan tribe are here?"
Lan Du asked him: "What are you asking about the Huyan tribe?"
Xiao Chengyi said: "The three princesses of the Huyan tribe took away my princess, and our Princess Jiahe from Beichen. I heard that they were brought to the royal court."
Lan Du paused when he heard this. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Xiao Chengyi: "Who are you talking about?"
Xiao Chengyi said: "My princess, and Princess Jiahe."
When Lan Du heard Princess Jiahe's name, his expression suddenly changed, and there was a moment of panic in his eyes.
But he quickly regained his composure and said in a deep voice: "I will ask someone to inquire about their whereabouts."
Xiao Chengyi nodded, and the others continued to walk forward, but said nothing more.
Lan Du took them outside the royal court tent and went in first to report.
King Mobei was in his fifties, with gray hair on his temples and a sickly look on his face. Seeing Lan Du come in, he happily called out: "Son."
Lan Du said expressionlessly: "Just now the guards came to report that Beichen's envoys were coming. I went to see them and confirmed that they were all right, so I brought them here. Now they are outside. Do you want to see me?"
The King of Mobei was stunned: "Messengers from Beichen? Why did they come to Mobei? I didn't hear a trace of it before. Could this be a scam?"
Lan Du said: "I have read their credentials, and they are not fake. Mobei and Beichen have been at war with each other for a year. I believe they are here to negotiate peace."
King Mobei thought for a while and asked, "Who is coming?"
Lan Du said: "He is the regent of Nanyue."
King Mobei's expression changed when he heard this name. He had heard the name of Nanyue Regent Xiao Chengyi for a long time, but he didn't expect that he would come to Mobei.
