"It turns out that I am as beautiful as a flower."
Ning Fang smiled and approached Hyun, leaned down and said in her ear:
"I'll take care of you when I get back."
While the two were talking, Helianda came over with Yu Wenjue.
He cupped his hand and said to Hyun:
"I've heard about General Zhuo's reputation for a long time, and I'm lucky enough to meet him today," he said to Ning Yu, "This must be the famous God of War of Kunyu Kingdom, His Highness King Yi."
Ning Yan returned the gift with a cupped hand:
"General Helianda's reputation is also as strong as thunder. I am really lucky today."
Several people were saying polite words, and suddenly they heard the eunuch roll call again:
"The envoy from Yinping Kingdom has arrived!"
Everyone in Kunyu Kingdom was stunned. They had never heard that Yinping Kingdom was coming.
Yang Taichi, the new emperor of Yinping Kingdom, after the civil strife in Nanliang, after careful consideration, he defected to the Western Wei Dynasty. In the past, he only went to the border towns. Why did he come to Beijing this time? And, is this considered a secret visit to Beijing?
Hyun looked at Ning Ming in confusion, and Ning Ming gave her a hint: don't be impatient and wait and see what happens.
The two of them observed the expressions of the envoys from Wei State and Wuxing State at the same time, but they also looked confused. They seemed to suspect that there was something fishy between Yinping State and Kunyu State. With some probing eyes, they fell on Kun. Yu Guo on all the officials present.
The envoy from Yinping Kingdom first saw Xuan's dark face, and then he saw Yuwenjue and Helianda. He stepped forward and saluted Yuwenjue:
"The prince is a thousand years old."
Yuwenjue waved his hand:
"Today we are all here to participate in the Mid-Autumn Festival feast of Kunyu Kingdom, so there is no need to be more polite. Get up."
Yu Wenjue said this, but the envoy still did it step by step:
"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince."
After getting up, he saluted Helianda, Ning Ming and Xun, and then said to Ning Ming:
"The Emperor decided at the last minute to come to your country's Mid-Autumn Festival feast, but it was too late to submit the documents in advance, so I brought him. Please don't be offended, King Yi."
He has such a good attitude, but no matter how dissatisfied he is, what else can he do?
Ning Fang smiled and said:
"The Mid-Autumn Festival is a festival of reunions. We hope that more people will come and celebrate the festival lively. How can we blame you? Everyone here is a guest, so you don't have to worry too much."
The messenger bowed and said:
"Your Highness has a kind heart. I would like to thank you in advance for your magnanimity."
Hyun was the last person to deal with these people. After a few perfunctory words, he passed the blame to Ning Yu and sat down in his seat. Jiang Wu, Ru Yuan, and Le Zhengqing came over, and the four of them chatted happily.
After the arrival of the Queen Mother Luo Ji, the Emperor Ning Sheng, the Queen Mother Lin Hua, the Emperor Ning Yan, the Queen Jiang Yu, the Crown Prince Ning Hui and the Crown Princess arrived, everyone took their seats and the banquet officially began.
The envoy from Yinping State presented the document and repeated the speech to Ning Yan. In this situation, even if Ning Yan was dissatisfied, he could not do anything to the envoy. Not only could he not do anything to the envoy, he could not even be dissatisfied at all. He showed it, said something casual, and asked to be seated.
There was nothing else to do after that, just watch the show and taste the delicious food. Some countries from the Western Regions brought dancers, and everyone enjoyed the exotic dances with great interest. In short, it was perfect.
After the banquet, everyone returned to the inn happily.
The next day, while Xuan and Ning Yu were still having breakfast, Yichou came to tell them that Tuyuhun Kualu had come to visit.
Both of them were stunned when they heard this.
This time, other countries sent envoys, at least a prince or a prince, but only Tuyuhun and the Khan came in person, so they did not believe that Tuyuhun's throne was so stable that Kua Lu dared to leave for so long.
Ning Fang glanced at Xun, then looked out the door:
"You came to us this time just to tell us the purpose of coming in person."
He quickly poured a bowl of porridge into his stomach and followed Yichou out.
Hyun thought for a while and didn't understand what Kua Lu was doing. She wanted to hear it, but it was inappropriate to appear in front of Kua Lu, either as Princess Yi or as the black-faced Lord Zhuo. She didn't want to think about it anymore and waited for Ning Yan to come back and tell her that now, she could eat in peace and contentment.
Let's talk about the front hall.
After Ning Fang appeared at the door of the living room, Kua Lu immediately stood up:
"I hope King Yi won't be offended by bothering you so early."
Ning Fang smiled and greeted Kua Lu:
"If so, the Khan came in person and I didn't have time to entertain him. How can I be surprised?"
After Ning Feng sat down, Kua Lu sat down again and said straightforwardly without beating around the bush:
"I came here this time because I want to cooperate with Kun Yuguo."
Ning Yan still said with a smile:
"If we want to talk about cooperation, shouldn't we approach the emperor? I am a prince, but I can only lead troops to fight."
Kua Lu smiled and said:
"King Yi is humbled. I came here just to discuss military cooperation with Kun Yu."
Ning Fang was stunned. Military cooperation between Kunyu Kingdom and Tuguhun? There were already vague speculations in several places.
He remained silent and asked with a smile:
"I wonder what Khan wants to talk about?"
Qualu said:
"The Wei State was strong before, but now the Wei State has become much weaker. After Gao Huan's death, the Eastern Wei Dynasty he commanded has now become the property of the Gao family. Although the Western Wei Dynasty still supports the Yuan family, in fact, It exists in name only, and in my opinion, it will officially become the Yuwen clan’s thing soon.”
Ning Yan took a sip of tea:
"I disagree with this. General Yuwen values love and justice, and is also very loyal to the Yuan family. After Gao Huan, if he can do something to usurp power, General Yuwen cannot do it."
Kua Lu noticed that there were two key points in what Ning Yu said: after Gao Huan, General Yuwen, that is to say, just because Yu Wentai couldn't do it, it didn't mean that the person who took his place couldn't do it.
Kua Lu smiled and did not criticize Ning Yu's words. He took a sip of tea and concluded the topic:
"The Western Wei Dynasty is not as strong as before, but it is still a force that cannot be underestimated. I want to join forces with the Kunyu Kingdom to attack the Liangzhou area of the Western Wei Dynasty. After that, we can divide Liangzhou equally."
After waiting for a while, seeing that Ning Feng didn't seem to be tempted, he said again:
"We divide the north and the south equally, so that both Kunyu and Tuyuhun can trade with the Western Regions."
Ning Yun's heart was really moved by the words of Kua Lu. Kunyu State also wanted to trade with the Western Regions, but either through Wei State or Tuyuhun, there was no direct passage and there were many restrictions. If it was really If the country can be divided equally between the north and the south, then the Kunyu Kingdom will have its own trade route to the Western Regions.
But, despite this, nothing has changed on the surface.
He seemed to think about it seriously and said to Qualu:
"The conditions proposed by Khan are indeed very tempting, but I still need to discuss this matter with the emperor and other ministers. I'm afraid I won't be able to reply to Khan today."
Kua Lu didn't expect that Kun Yuguo would agree in one day. If he proposed it, Kun Yuguo would agree, which would make Kua Lu feel uneasy.
