Chapter 256 National Concerns
The yellow warbler stamped her feet and said coquettishly, "Mother, what are you talking about? He is just my bodyguard, not..." Speaking of this, he found that he seemed to speak a little more and quickly closed his mouth.
Princess Jade's loving white Ying smiled and said, "What are you nervous about? The mother didn't say much. All right, don't stand here, let's go in. I have sent someone to inform your father, and he will be very happy to know that you will come back.
Huang Ying and Huangfu Yuran followed the Jade Princess into the Ciyu Palace. Huang Ying said behind, "My father has known that I'm back. Yuran's leadership position was personally canonized by my father."
Princess Jade shook her body and continued to walk forward and said, "Oh, I don't care. If you have just come back, he can't wear armor. Your Majesty is really messing around with you.
Huang Ying smiled reluctantly and said coquettishly, "Mother, they didn't say anything, so don't keep talking about it! Oh, by the way, my father said he would come over for dinner later.
Princess Jade knew that Huang Ying wanted to change the topic, or ordered with a smile, "Little plum, do you hear me? Your Majesty is coming to eat. Why don't you go and let the imperial chef prepare it?"
The little eunuch who followed him hurriedly bowed and left. Princess Yu said with a smile, "It doesn't matter whether your majesty comes or not. Today, we will also prepare a feast for the emperor!"
"Thank you, Queen Mother." Huang Ying's face was full of smiles, which was the feeling of home.
After entering the main hall, everyone sat down. Some of them didn't talk about their family affairs, mainly Huang Ying and Princess Yu. This mother and daughter have not seen each other for many years. Naturally, they have a lot to say. For a moment, Huangfu Yuran was left alone. However, Huangfu Yuran is used to being quiet alone, so he doesn't care much.
In a blink of an eye, the sky has gradually faded, and the Jade Princess is telling Huang Ying something about the king. The king's voice came from outside the door: "What's wrong with the beloved concubine saying? Because some political affairs have been delayed, it has not been vacant until now. Is it too late?"
The three immediately stood up and bowed to meet the king. The Jade Princess said softly, "Your Majesty is busy with political affairs. It doesn't matter if we just wait for a moment. Your Majesty came just right, and the dinner was just ready.
The king nodded and said with a smile, "Well, let's eat and say, let's go."
Several people were led by a small eunuch to another hall. When they entered the door, they saw a large round table full of cups and plates, all covered with masks.
The king greeted them to sit down. The Jade Princess sat next to the king, and Huang Ying sat opposite the two. As for Huangfu Yuran, he now holds his own identity and stands behind Huang Ying.
The king looked up at Huangfu Yuran and asked with a smile, "Why doesn't Huangfu take a seat?" Do you dislike the lonely hospitality?"
Huangfu Yuran quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, the king misunderstood. Yuran is just a leader. How can he drink with the king at the same table?" Besides, this is the king's family banquet. Yuran is an outsider, and it is really inconvenient to sit down.
The king was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile, "It doesn't matter. Once you are a friend of the emperor, you have come all the way to my Cangyun Empire. This banquet is also a reception for you. Secondly, you also said that you are the commander of the Forbidden Army, that is, your subordinates. Now that you sit down alone, you have nothing to say, right?"
Huangfu Yuran looked down at the yellow warbler and found that the yellow warbler nodded to him, so he hugged his fist and said, "Then it's better to obey. Thank you." With that, he sat down next to Huang Ying.
The Jade Princess waved and more than a dozen maids of honor came to take the cover of the dishes on the table. For a moment, the delicious food on the table was presented to everyone, and the room was full of wine and vegetables.
There are no less than 50 dishes on the table, each of which is a delicacy, and people can't help drooling. The king invited everyone to taste, and he was used to these delicacies as emperors.
Throughout the banquet, everyone talked and laughed. The king also asked about Huangfu Yuran's family, but Huangfu Yuran didn't want to mention the sad things, so he prevaried it for other reasons. The king has read countless people in his life, and he saw at a glance that Huangfu Yuran had an unspeakable secret, so he did not continue to ask questions.
The dishes were tasteless, and after three rounds of wine, Huangfu Yuran was also a little drunk, so he let go of what he said. No one here blames Huangfu Yuran. After all, Huangfu Yuran's words are very measured.
Raising his eyes and seeing that the king was frowning at this time, Huangfu Yuran put down his glass and asked, "Your Majesty, are you worried about state affairs? Such a sad frown worries the princess and the princess. If there is anything, you might as well talk about it.
Huang Ying pulled Huangfu Yuran's sleeves and whispered, "Political affairs are state secrets. How can they be easily said? Don't be so reckless in the future.
Before Huang Ying finished her words, the king waved his hand and interrupted Huang Ying's words and said, "Your Majesty, you don't need to pay attention to this moment. He is right. If there is anything, you might as well talk about it and discuss it together, but who in the world is willing to share some for loneliness?" Speaking of this, the king shook his head and continued, "Don't say that, Mr. Huangfu, what do you think of the current situation in the world?"
Huangfu Yuran didn't expect him to ask this, and he was really stunned for a moment. Then he realized that the king wanted to hear his views on the situation in the world. Huangfu knew that what the king asked was definitely not a matter of the cultivation world. He was the emperor of the world. The matter of cultivation of the truth was of little value to him. Naturally, what he wanted to know was the relationship between the major empires and so on.
Huangfu Yuran lowered his head and thought about it, remembering that Chen Yu had evaluated the situation in the world at the time of Tianzhu Peak, so he said according to Chen Yu's words, "Your Majesty is asking about the relationship between the major empires in the world today?" Seeing the king nodding, he continued to say, "Today, there are five empires in the world, of which the most powerful is the Daqin Empire sitting in the middle, which is also a friendly state with the Cangyun Empire. Secondly, there is the Lingfeng Empire in the west. Lingfeng Empire is brave and good at fighting, but Fortunately, there is not much entanglement with other empires. Next to the Lingfeng Empire is the Mingxiao Empire in the north. The Mingxiao Empire is very ambitious and wants to go south to the Central Plains to unify the world, so it is a military meeting with the Qin Empire. The last one is the Longxiao Empire in the south. Although the name of this country is very domineering, it is actually a country dominated by the people. Therefore, the military power of the Longxiao Empire is also the weakest of the five empires, and compared with other empires, the surrounding small countries are still unable to compare with the Longxiao Empire. The Longxiao Empire has always advocated peace, so there has been no war. The most worrying thing now is the struggle between Daqin and Mingxiao. There must be a injury between the two tigers. Is your majesty worried about this? He looked at the king with a straight face.
After listening to Huangfu Yuran's analysis, the king couldn't help nodding and praising: "Well said, I didn't expect you to know so much about the mortal world in detail. You're right. Gu was worried at this time. Before he came, he was also discussing this matter with his loyal ministers, but they didn't have any good advice, so he was so worried. Alas..."
"What on earth makes my father so worried?" Huang Ying frowned and asked gently.
The king picked up his glass and took a sip and sighed, "I received a secret letter from the Emperor of Qin during the day, saying that the strength of the Mingxiao Empire suddenly increased greatly, and the army of the Qin Dynasty was a little invincible. I hope that the Cangyun Empire will send troops to support."
Huang Ying asked puzzledly, "What's so sad about this? Daqin is our friend. Since the emperor of Daqin asked for help, we will send troops.
The king smiled and looked at Huang Ying and said, "Huang, you know too little about the war. The two countries are equal in strength. At this time, the strength of one side suddenly increased greatly, and there must be a reason. And the great increase in the strength of the Mingxiao Empire is due to the practitioners.
Huangfu Yuran was a little surprised to hear this and said in disbelief, "Your Majesty means that... the practitioners intervened in the war?"
The king nodded to admit what Huangfu Yuran said. Huang Ying exclaimed, "Isn't there a rule in the world of cultivation that practitioners cannot intervene in mortal wars? How dare they violate the rules of the world of cultivation?
Huangfu Yuran said lightly, "The world of cultivation is also a mess at this time. Since Master and Ouyang's predecessor have soared, no one can blackmail these practitioners. As for the so-called Xiuzhen regulation, no one seems to care about it at all. Don't say that he intervened in the war. Even if the practitioners destroyed an empire, it was not a strange thing.
The king nodded and said, "Well, that's right, countless soldiers will die between the practitioners. If you send troops, you will send the soldiers to your thoughts, but if you don't send troops, you can't give Daqin an explanation. It's really embarrassing on both sides!"
Huangfu Yuran thought for a moment or asked, "Your Majesty, I don't know what Daqin said?"
The king thought for a moment and said, "Daqin will send envoys to the Cangyun Empire for talks. At this time, a prince will come on behalf of the Daqin royal family. I will arrive in a month. I really don't know how to deal with it.
Huangfu Yuran breathed a sigh of relief and said, "In this way, your majesty doesn't have to worry too much. The meeting in a month will be decided according to the situation. Maybe Yuran can help with the affairs of the true practitioners.
When the king heard Huangfu Yuran's words, his eyes flashed. Before Huang Ying said anything, he had said first, "Yuran, are you crazy? If you leave the palace, you will send yourself into the mouth of the tiger. They are worried about where to find you. What's the difference between going out and dying like this? Huang Ying faintly felt that it was the conspiracy of those people of the devil, and the purpose was only to attract Huangfu Yuran to come out.
