When Fang Xuanling, Zhang Liang, Liu Bowen and Guo Jia received the news that Emperor Chu had returned to the palace, they all drove into the palace to meet him. By this time, they had all arrived at the imperial study.
There was a sound of pushing the door open, and the four of them turned to look at the door, only to see Emperor Chu striding forward with a proud and kingly air.
All the ministers bowed and saluted, and Emperor Chu gently waved his hand to signal them to stand back and asked.
"Xuanling, where is the Mongol Empire's peace mission?"
"Your Majesty, the minister originally arranged for the envoys of the Mongolian Empire to stay in the royal post, but the Mongolian princess disliked the poor environment of the post and the whole group lived in the Tianxia Tower."
"However, Wei Chen has ordered the soldiers of the city defense battalion to defend around Tianxia Tower to protect their comfort in the imperial capital."
Fang Xuanling's deep voice sounded, he looked up at Emperor Chu and asked: "Is the Emperor ready to summon them?"
"Don't worry, the Mongolian envoys are arrogant. Since they are willing to stay at Tianxialou, let them stay for a few more days."
Emperor Chu was in a hurry to return to the imperial city. Originally, he wanted to summon the Mongolian envoys as soon as possible, but on the way to the imperial study, he changed his mind and felt that there was no need to pay attention.
If you summon them just after returning to the imperial capital, as if to show that they are important, the subsequent confrontation will appear weak in terms of momentum alone.
He would never allow such a thing to happen. Since they settled in Tianxialou, it was just right for him to go to Tianxialou to explore their true and falsehoods first, so that he could know himself and the enemy, and he would never be in danger in a hundred battles.
On the way back to Huxiao City, Emperor Chu ordered Di Renjie to pass a secret order to Ying Lin, the defender of Leling City, asking him to lead his Hanlin army to Huangsha City. In addition, he ordered Shentu Sheng, the defender of Wancheng City, to assemble an army and go there.
Beihan King City and Danli meet up.
Now three days have passed, I believe they will arrive soon. Huangsha City has Liu Bei, Zhang Xiu, Li Jue, Guo Si, Pang De, plus Lu Bu, Ran Min, Guan Yu. Emperor Chu is not worried about the Mongolian army.
They can be defeated easily.
By then, in the Northern Han King's City, there were only a few strong generals under Shan Li's command. Even if Shentu Sheng went there, he would not be completely sure. The generals in the imperial city could be dispatched, but they would not be able to escape the eyes and ears of the Mongolian Empire.
"Zifang, could you please go to the residences of General Huo, General Shangguan, and General Yue, and ask them to leave the city secretly and rush to the Northern Han King's City. They must not reveal their presence and let the eyes and ears of the Mongolian Empire notice."
"Xuanling, inform the Ministry of Household Affairs that the Ministry of War will start preparing food, grass and baggage for the battle from now on."
The Mongol army was ready to move, but Temujin did not launch a war without warning, but hoped that Chu would surrender and become his vassal. This was enough to show that he was very confident that he could defeat Chu.
The Emperor of Chu decided to deal with the Mongolian envoys first, and when all the generals arrived at Huangsha City and Beihan Palace, the initiative would be in his hands.
War?
He has never been afraid. The Chu State grew stronger step by step in the flames of war, but the empire became stronger and stronger after hundreds of battles, sweeping all directions, annexing Liuhe, and swallowing up eight wastelands.
Think about this.
Emperor Chu said loudly: "Everyone, go down and prepare. I will go to the Tianxia Tower first to take a look!"
Afternoon.
On the bustling Huangdu Street, Chu Feifan and Luo Shixin walked towards Tianxialou.
Arriving at Tianxia Tower, Emperor Chu looked up at the three characters on the plaque that criticized Fang Qiong, stood up and walked inside.
Tianxialou is indeed the most luxurious restaurant in the imperial capital. The hall on the first floor is a place for tea and wine tasting. It is already overcrowded. The storyteller on the high platform is talking endlessly about the heroic deeds of Emperor Chu.
The second floor is the restaurant, the third floor is the private rooms, and the fourth floor is the guest rooms. When the waiter at the door saw Emperor Chu and Luo Shixin entering, he stepped forward quickly, and a respectful voice rang out.
"Sir, should you drink tea or eat?"
Emperor Chu's eyes swept across the people in the hall on the first floor, and he chuckled: "Drink tea!"
The reason why I chose the first floor is because Emperor Chu found three envoys from the Mongolian Empire drinking tea and heard that Mr. Shu was talking loudly.
"This way, you two!"
Under the leadership of the waiter, the two came to a table not far from the Mongolian envoy. Emperor Chu and Luo Shixin sat down, ordered a pot of tea, and the waiter turned around and left in a hurry.
Emperor Chu glanced at the three envoys, then looked back at the high platform. The storyteller was telling the story of the Chu army breaking the Mongolian cavalry outside Leling City.
"You can't be so responsive!"
Emperor Chu smiled bitterly. This storyteller really didn't mean it. The relationship between the Mingzhi Mongol Empire and the Chu State was tense. The Mongolian envoys were still in the Tianxia Tower. He didn't mean to arouse their anger.
"boom!"
A loud noise spread, melon and fruit residues flew wildly, water splashed everywhere, and the wooden table next to the three Mongolian envoys was torn into pieces, and the three figures rose up, striding forward with fierce looks.
The sudden loud noise shocked everyone. Seeing three strong men walking towards the storyteller, everyone stepped back.
The storyteller was an old man. He was frightened when he saw three strong men who were as tall as towers, hiding in a corner of the high platform, with panic in his eyes.
Emperor Chu glanced at Luo Shixin, gave him a wink, and saw his figure rising up, striding towards the three strong men.
"Old guy, what nonsense are you talking about? The Mongol Empire's iron cavalry dominates the world and is invincible. How can it be as vulnerable as you say?"
A strong man's furious voice sounded. He was about to unsheath the scimitar in his hand, but his wrist was caught by a huge force, and the silver light that had been unsheathed was returned to its sheath again.
The strong man looked sideways, looked up, and found that Luo Shixin standing next to him was half a meter taller than him. The anger on his face disappeared, replaced by a look of shock.
"What do you mean, you want to meddle in other people's business?"
"have a finger in the pie?"
"This is a place for listening to music and storytelling. If you want to use force, I will accompany you!"
The fat on Luo Shixin's face trembled, and he showed a ferocious smile. With a deep voice, he let go of the man's wrist and stepped forward to help the old man up.
"Your Excellency, are you a little arrogant? Do you know who we are?"
"Don't talk about teaching a lesson to the old guy who talks nonsense. Even if the Tianxia Tower is demolished and things get serious, your emperor will still be courteous to us."
The strong man glanced at Luo Shixin with disdain, his voice sounded contemptuous, and he looked completely arrogant.
"Who wants to tear down my world?"
The sound was loud and powerful, reaching the ears of everyone in the hall clearly. Everyone followed the sound and saw a shrewd-looking man walking over.
"Shen Wansan!"
"I didn't expect that the world's number one building would be his property. This guy is really good at it!"
Emperor Chu muttered to himself, and saw Shen Wansan striding forward with a sly smile on his face, waving for the storyteller to leave, and his eyes rested on the three Mongolian envoys.
"Are you going to tear down my world building?" (To be continued)
