Chapter 170 Messenger from the Western Regions

"Your Majesty, the guard said that a strangely dressed man came outside. He said that he was from the Western Regions and had something to discuss with the emperor. I don't know if the emperor wants to see him?" The father-in-law said with a smile on his face.

"Just send it away." Cheng Zun doesn't want to see anyone from the Western Regions.

I didn't expect that my father-in-law raised this matter again a few days later. Cheng Zun is a little upset.

"What's the matter? Is the emperor of Dacheng what he wants to see? Get rid of him."

Fath-in-law obeyed.

The next day, the man from the Western Regions came again, and his father-in-law personally drove him away. If he doesn't leave, his father-in-law gave him some broken silver, but he didn't want it.

"Since the emperor refuses to see me, please give this to the emperor." He took out a jade pendant from his arms and handed it to his father-in-law. The father-in-law didn't understand jade, so he hurriedly accepted it. Because there were many things in the palace, he suddenly forgot about the jade pendant, and it took him two or three days to hand over the jade pendant to Cheng Zun.

"It's the jade pendant of the Western Regions, which is said to be for the emperor. The strange slave is stupid. It was supposed to be a few days ago, but now I remember it.

"It's a piece of jade. Send someone to have a look. If that person is still nearby, please come back. Maybe he has more treasures." Cheng Zun said with a smile.

In the evening, Cheng Zun handed the jade to Ji Liunian and told him where it came from.

"I don't know who it is and what I'm looking for you for, so it's better to be careful. Be careful to borrow this piece of jade to approach you and kill you when you are unprepared. Ji Liunian laughed loudly.

"You think it's so easy to kill me! Why don't you come to the imperial study tomorrow afternoon? I'll meet him in the imperial study.

"I happen to be idle, so let's see what kind of person he is."

The next day, my father-in-law found the man, asked him to wait outside, and led him into the imperial study in the afternoon. Seeing Cheng Zun in a dragon robe, he hurriedly knelt down.

"It came so fast. How did you get this jade?" Cheng Zun took out the jade pendant.

"Your Majesty, in fact, is the messenger of a small country near the Western Regions. He knows that Dacheng is powerful and will not receive me, a foreign messenger, so he has made this strategy. This jade is abundant in our country. If the emperor likes it, it won't be a big problem to ship a box to you next time.

"I know that there is a small country near the Western Regions. I don't know if it's your side?"

"The emperor is worthy of being well-informed, that is, a small country. In recent years, small countries have suffered a series of disasters, and they can't continue, so the king asked me to go out to seek assistance. I don't know if the emperor is willing to accept us? We are willing to accept the jurisdiction of Dacheng, as long as the people of small countries can survive. The man knelt down with tears in his eyes, looking very pitiful.

Cheng Zun thought about it.

How many people are there in small countries? What is the area? ......”

Men answer one by one.

"You live here first. I'll think about it for a day or two before I reply to you."

Cheng Zun saw that Ji Liunian hadn't come yet, so he was a little anxious. He simply let him stay first and find Ji Liunian by himself.

Ji Liunian was shocked to meet Cheng Zun on his way here.

"Aren't you in the imperial study? Why did you come here? I was about to find you."

"Come here, I thought you weren't coming. This man..." Cheng Zun told Ji Liunian about the situation just now.

"Is there such a good thing? This is a good meat sent to your door. If you don't eat it, you won't eat it for free. Ji Liunian said with a smile.

"You think it's good meat. I'm most afraid that I will become a piece of chicken ribs in the future. I'm unwilling to eat it. It's a pity to abandon it." Cheng Zun felt that the small country must have come to find a backer because he didn't think it would continue. Judging from the attitude of this messenger, he has no other way.

"No matter what, we are also a big country, and it is impossible for us to not even manage a country smaller than our county? Don't think so much, come here quickly. Solve the problems slowly in the future, otherwise we will regret eating this piece of meat for others.

Hearing Ji Liunian's words, Cheng Zun also felt that it was reasonable. After returning, he immediately agreed to the messenger. The messenger was very happy and eager to go back to report the situation.

After hearing the situation, Ji Liunian immediately ran over.

"If it's convenient, take me with you and I'll go on an on-site inspection." Ji Liunian hasn't been out in the palace for a long time, and his heart is itchy.

"This..." The messenger looked at Cheng Zun with a smile.

"This is the queen of Dacheng. She knows martial arts and is in good health. What do you think about letting her go there first?" Cheng Zun wanted Ji Liunian to play the striker first. There is no treaty yet, and it's too late to regret it.

"That's great. It's just that I'm waiting for a small country. The queen may laugh at us when she sees it. We can't afford to receive it." The messenger's face was red. He didn't expect that the queen of Dacheng Kingdom would give him so much face that he would go there in person. He waved Ji Liunian three times. Ji Liunian didn't understand and knew that it was his own etiquette, so he did not stop him.

"You're welcome, no matter how small the country is, there is something to admire. I'm just going to relax. Please don't have so much psychological pressure.

The messenger laughed. Ji Liunian felt that this man's smile was a little funny, and such a burly person actually laughed like a little girl, which was a little embarrassing.

Because Ji Liunian also wanted to follow, the messenger postponed the trip. Ji Liunian packed up some things and went to bed early. The next day, he rode his own fast horse and followed the messenger. Cheng Zun was not at ease, so he sent two bodyguards to follow him. Ji Liunian didn't know it at all.

It took five days and five nights to arrive in a small country. The environment is getting worse and worse, and Ji Liunian feels more and more unable to adapt.

"Hey, why do I feel dizzy?" I don't know that this is a plateau reaction.

"Queen, if you can't get used to it, let's live first, and there will be a small country in front of us. I'll ask the people in front of me to see if there is goat's milk. The messenger took Ji Liunian down, carried him on his back, and walked forward. Both horses stood still.

Ji Liunian was a little embarrassed at first. Seeing that the messenger was straightforward and didn't care about anything, she was also generous.

Entering the room, the messenger took out a gold medal, and the owner of the room quickly knelt down.

"I don't mean to intimidate you, but I want you to be kind to our nobles. This is the queen who the king ordered me to invite from Dacheng Kingdom. She is our distinguished guest. Please bring out the best thing.

The couple hurriedly knelt down to Ji Liunian. Ji Liunian was a little embarrassed and quickly let them get up.

"Get up, get up. Although they are from two countries, our ancestors are still the same. You are welcome, and you don't have to be restrained."

The two saw that Ji Liunian was kind, so they chatted with her, and the woman took out the best food from it. After eating it, Ji Liunian really felt much better.

Seeing that Ji Liunian was thinly dressed, the woman took out a sheepskin coat when they said goodbye.

"No need... the front is..." Before Ji Liunian finished speaking, the woman put her clothes on her. Ji Liunian took out a gold ingot from the bag and stuffed it into the woman's hand. The woman quickly stuffed it back.

"Take it, take it. I have a lot of things on me. I ate so many of you for nothing..." Ji Liunian stuffed the golden ingot back into the woman's hand. The woman looked at her gratefully.

Ji Liunian galloped away on a fast horse.

Soon they came to the national capital, and the messenger took the gold medal and brought Ji Liunian in smoothly all the way. When the king heard the news, he quickly met Ji Liunian.

Ji Liunian couldn't help laughing when he saw the same burly king. Everyone didn't know, looking at Ji Liunian.

"I'm sorry, I'm a little uncomfortable to see you all burly and bearded." Ji Liunian covered his mouth and smiled again.

"Let the queen laugh. The people of the small country are in the cold zone. If they are not burly, I'm afraid they can't resist the severe cold here. Your country has a good environment and climate, so it's better for you to be elegant. The king laughed.

Ji Liunian felt more funny when he saw his smile like a messenger, with a faint shyness.

"If the two countries have a competition, I'm afraid that the people of Dacheng can't beat the people of your country. They have the advantages of being burly and burly. Do you eat raw meat? Ji Liunian asked curiously.

The king and the minister laughed.

"Although we are burly, is it the result of eating raw meat? We have flocks of cattle and sheep here. We drink sheep's milk and eat mutton and beef, which is why we are so strong. Now we are a little thinner than before. Our ancestors are more than two meters tall.
