Chi Danmei acted suspiciously, but Qining couldn't figure out the reason, but he knew very well that if he was impulsive and really agreed to Chi Danmei, there would be endless troubles.
When he first arrived in Dong Qi, he had very limited knowledge of the domestic affairs of Dong Qi. For him, the most important thing was to complete the mission assigned by the young emperor, and then return to Chu safely with the envoy. As for other things, if not everything, Don't get involved easily if you have no choice but to get involved.
Early the next morning, the prince's troops and horses were already in full order. There were scouts in front of them, and a large group of people and horses were guarding the prince Duan Shao. The envoy was also packed up and headed towards King Lu's city with the prince's team.
Situ Mingyue suddenly left midway. However, he was ordered by the prince to go to Xuzhou City temporarily to settle his subsequent affairs.
Although Taishan King's rebellion was quickly put down, it would have a considerable impact after all. Moreover, both Taishan King and Xuzhou Governor Fang Xingzhai were killed. Xuzhou was leaderless. The prince assigned Situ Mingyue to stay in Xuzhou temporarily to prevent other incidents. Meng Jiaozhou was detained on Monday as a pedestrian. After the rebellion of King Taishan was suppressed, Meng Jiaozhou's followers were all sneaked back. Meng Jiaozhou was escorted to the capital as an accomplice of King Taishan.
Meng Jiaozhou originally thought that he would have a bright future by climbing the big tree of King Taishan, but he never expected that King Taishan would suddenly rebel. When he found out, he was frightened and terrified all day long.
After traveling like this for several days, they arrived at King Delu's city. Before they entered the city, officials had already gotten the news and came out of the city to greet him.
After setting off from Xuzhou, although Qi Ning and his party received very good care, they talked much less with the prince. The prince seemed to intentionally distance himself.
King Lu's city is located in Linzi, Qingzhou. Although the Eastern Qi Dynasty established itself as a country, it was still a small country with a sparse population and could not be compared with the other two countries. Even the capital of Lu, the city of Lu, was far inferior in terms of momentum and scale compared to Chu's Jianye capital. Far far away, not even as close as Chengdu Fucheng.
However, after entering the city, the city was busy with traffic, people were coming and going on the streets, and there were many shops, which was very lively.
Qining knew that the news of King Taishan's rebellion should have been blocked and not publicized, otherwise Lucheng would not be so prosperous.
The prince came over and talked to Qi Ning. He just asked Qi Ning to lead the envoy to take a break. He would summon the king of Eastern Qi as soon as possible. He also assigned officials to take the Chu envoy to the post house. The official who received the envoy was It was Tao Qian, the Minister of Rites of the Eastern Qi Dynasty. He was over fifty years old, but he was still in good spirits. Among the officials who came out of the city to greet the prince, he was the leader.
Qi Ning knew that Dong Qi's capital must have received news of the Chu State's envoy, so he specially sent people from the Ministry of Rites.
Tao Gan seemed to be a kind-hearted person, and his words and deeds were also very polite. He personally led the delegation to the post house. When he arrived at the post house, before he entered, he saw a group of people coming out of the post house. One of them looked like he was only in his early twenties. He is young, dressed in fine clothes, and has an upright appearance. He is followed by about ten people, all of whom are wearing weapons. Two of them are the most conspicuous. One of them is dressed in aqua blue clothes, with a aqua blue belt wrapped around his head. , in his early thirties, the other one was dressed in fiery red clothes, tall, with a beard, and a red ribbon on his head. He was around fifty years old. The two people were dressed in special clothes, one on the left Yiyi followed behind the young man, very conspicuous.
After the group of people went out, they saw the envoy brought by Chu Huan. They were startled for a moment, and then their eyes showed coldness. They stopped and stared coldly at Qining. Qining was wondering when he saw Tao Gan He had already stepped forward and cupped his hands: "Prince Feng, are you going out?"
Qi Ning heard clearly and thought to himself that this was a prince, but he immediately thought that there were only three princes in Dong Qi. King Linzi and King Taishan were dead, and only the prince Duan Shao was left. There was no prince Feng. What was this? Where did the prince appear from
Prince Feng ignored Tao Qian and walked towards Qining with his hands behind his back. He glanced at Qining and saw that Qining's clothes were different from others, so he asked Qining: "You are the envoy of Chu State." ?”
Qi Ning was puzzled, but he still held up his hands and said with a smile: "This is Qi Ning, the envoy of the State of Chu. What do you call me?"
Prince Feng smiled coldly and said, "I am Beitang Feng, have you ever heard of my name?"
Qining was surprised. "Beitang" was the surname of the Northern Han Dynasty. He was wondering who this Prince Feng was. When he told him about his family name, he realized that this person turned out to be the Prince of the Northern Han Dynasty.
Southern Chu and Northern Han were incompatible with each other. Qi Ning had no good impression of Northern Han in the first place. Seeing Beitang Feng's arrogant and rude words, he smiled lightly and said, "It turns out he is the Prince of Beitang." He thought what happened to this Prince of Northern Han. Will it appear in Dongqi
Tao Qian had already stepped forward and explained: "Jin Yi Hou, Prince Feng also just arrived in Kyoto the day before yesterday, and he also led a delegation to come to repair the good relationship between the two countries." Xiang Beitang Feng said: "Prince Feng, this is The Chu Kingdom's Jin Yihou led the envoys to come."
"Jin Yi Hou?" Beitang Feng sneered, "So you are from the Qi family."
Qi Ning smiled and said: "I didn't expect that the Qi family's reputation is so famous that even Prince Feng in the North Kingdom has heard of it. This is a great honor."
Qi Feng and others had cold expressions on their faces, pressed their hands on the handles of their sabers, and stared at Beitang Feng.
The Jinyi Qi family guarded the front line and fought with the Northern Han people on the battlefield for many years. The Northern Han people certainly hated the Qi family, and Qi Feng and others also hated the Northern Han Dynasty.
Beitang Feng rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "I know the purpose of your coming to Dong Qi, but I advise you to give up this idea. With me here, how can I let you succeed? You should get out early. It’s better to go back to Nanchu to avoid humiliating yourself when the time comes.”
Qi Ning smiled and said: "Prince Feng is so confident, it really makes me a little scared. If there is anything scary, why don't Prince Feng say it once and for all, so that I can be scared out of my mind."
Beitang Feng naturally heard Qi Ning's sarcastic words and sneered. At this moment, he heard the sound of footsteps. Everyone looked at the sound and saw only five or six people in red robes walking towards them in a hurry. These people were dressed in strange clothes. They wore strange hats with tassels on their heads and two long belts hanging from their shoulders. Qining only glanced at it, his color changed slightly, and he recognized the clothes of these people at a glance. He is a lama of Tibetan Buddhism.
The strange hat on his head is called Banxia, which is the hat worn by Tibetan lamas. If Qining was a little surprised when he saw Beitangfeng and his party, he was shocked when he saw these lamas.
This is a parallel time and space world, which is different from the time and space that Qi Ning is familiar with, so it is difficult for him to determine whether many things exist in this world. At this time, seeing these lamas, he was really surprised, thinking Tibetan Buddhism indeed existed in this era, but these lamas should be practicing in Qinghai. Qinghai is far away from Dongqi Mountains and is thousands of miles away. Qining has never seen any lamas in Chu State, and he never expected that in Dongqi See.
This group of lamas walked in a hurry. Looking at their formation, there were several people protecting one person in the middle. The person in the middle was holding a package in his hand and lowered his head, looking extremely cautious.
Several lamas ignored what was happening nearby and went straight to the post house. Beitang Feng stared at the lamas and suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute!"
Those lamas didn't seem to hear them, and kept walking. Beitang Feng said in a deep voice: "Stop them!"
But he saw the figure of the man in blue beside him flashing like an ape, with agile movements, rising and falling, and landed in front of the lama, blocking the way. The lamas were a little surprised to be stopped, and stopped. As he stepped forward, he tightly protected the person in the middle, while the two people in front took up stances and were on guard.
When Tao Qian saw this, he hurriedly shouted: "Don't hurt your harmony, they are all my distinguished guests from Daqi."
But Beitang Feng left Qi Ning behind, walked over quickly, and asked the group of lamas: "What is in that package? What are you sneaking up on?"
Several lamas looked at Beitang Feng with angry expressions. The man in the middle said solemnly: "It has nothing to do with you, don't block the way!" His voice was a bit stiff, but at least his meaning could be understood.
"You also live in the post house and brought something here. Who can guarantee that it is not poison?" Beitang Feng said proudly: "You foreign monks are so sneaky. If you bring poison into the post house and harm others, how can you do it?" It has nothing to do with us? Open the package and let me see what it is, otherwise you will not be allowed to enter the post house."
Qi Ning sneered inwardly, thinking to himself that this Northern Han man was really arrogant and would mess with anyone, but this matter had nothing to do with him and he didn't get involved, just watching the fun.
Tao Qian smiled apologetically and said: "Prince Feng, these masters have no ill intentions. I guarantee that there is no poison in their packages. They will leave for home tomorrow. They will only stay here for one night and nothing will happen to them."
Beitangfeng obviously didn't take Tao Qian seriously and sneered: "You promise? If something happens, what can you promise? I only believe my own eyes and don't believe other people's mouths? I will give you face." , you let them open the package, otherwise they will leave here and sleep on the street, which is not my prince's business."
The lama in the middle looked angry and said: "You're bullying people... You're bullying people too much. Even if you don't open it, if you want to beat me... I'm not afraid of you...!"
Beitangfeng said with a smile: "You want to fight? Very good, come here, take the package from his hand. I want to see what these foreign monks can do."
He gave the order, and a dozen of his followers rushed over immediately. The man in red frowned slightly and said, "Your Highness, let's not cause trouble. This is Dong Qi after all. We...!"
Beitangfeng's face darkened and he sneered: "Vulcan Lord, who is the master? Do you listen to you or do you listen to me?"
The man in red immediately knelt down on one knee and said, "I don't dare. I made a mistake. Your Highness, please punish me!"
When Qi Ning heard the words "Vulcan Lord", his heart trembled, thinking to himself that this person turned out to be the Fire God Lord. He knew that Jiutian Tower of the Northern Han Dynasty and Shenhou Mansion of the Southern Chu State were the two most powerful dark yamen in the world. Jiutian There is a Five Elements Divine Lord in the building. Mu Shenjun died in his own hands. He also got the Liuhe Divine Art from Mu Shenjun. At this time, he knew that the man in red was one of the Five Elements Divine Lords in Jiutian Tower. If he guessed correctly, , the man in blue is obviously one of the Five Elements Divine Lords.
