Before the banquet started, the king of Yu Li Kingdom kept wanting to let Chang'an express his admiration and admiration for Dajing Kingdom, wishing that he could go to Yan Li as a guard.
Rong Chang'an said: "If the king can temporarily put aside the state affairs one day and go to Dajing country for a visit, my emperor would like to be brothers with the king."
It is a great honor to be commensurate with the emperor brothers of a great country.
The king laughed and raised his wine glass: "Your concubine, it's rare for the emperor of the Great Jing Kingdom to think highly of the monarch of my small country, so I'll do it first as a respect!"
Drink the wine in one gulp.
The king kept praising Dajing Kingdom, and the special envoy was very upset that there was nothing like Tianchi Kingdom.
Yu Li Country is much smaller than Tianchi Country, so it should also come to compliment Tianchi Country's special envoy, but the king's eyes never seemed to look this way, and the envoy was so angry that he kept drinking.
After drinking for three rounds, the ministers of Yu Li Kingdom came up to respect the others from Dajing Kingdom and Tianchi Kingdom. Rong Changan took the opportunity to say to the king: "Xue Er has something to ask His Majesty the King."
The king quickly raised his hand and said, "I don't dare to ask for advice, you are the noble concubine."
Rong Chang'an asked: "In your country, is there a particularly rich member who specializes in soft hedgehog business?"
The king stroked his well-maintained beard and thought for a while: "As far as I know, in our country, military supplies such as soft hedgehog armor are all supervised by the imperial court, so no one should dare to produce them on a large scale. Soft hedgehog. Besides, our country is very small, and I can count all the rich people in the whole country, and there is no one who is particularly rich.——The imperial concubine, why do you ask this matter?"
Rong Changan coughed twice, and said with a smile: "I just heard on the way here that there was a rich businessman who made soft hedgehog armor. He was as rich as a country, so I asked the king. Since the king said no, it must be there is none left."
The king said solemnly: "If anyone dared to produce this kind of military supplies privately, he would have been arrested and interrogated in the government."
Rong Chang settled down, and then asked: "I have one more thing to ask His Majesty the King."
The king took the trouble and laughed, as if he wished Chang An could ask a few more questions.
Rong Chang'an thought for a while and said, "Have you ever had trouble with bandits in Yu Li Country?"
The king was taken aback: "Bandits? I have grown up so much, I have never heard of bandits in Yu Li State. I am not boasting, my concubine, but it is a fact. We in Yu Li State have never said that there are bandits robbing business travelers, rich people, etc. household."
The king's face darkened, "Your concubine, when you ask this question, does someone say that there are bandits in our Yu Li country? You call him out, and I will confront him face to face."
Seeing that the king was very serious, Rong Changan said, "It's not that someone said it, but we really encountered bandits on our way here!"
This sentence completely enraged the king: "There are citizens of Yu Li Kingdom who are bandits and rob the imperial concubine? What a great shame to the country, empress imperial concubine. Where did you say it was robbed? I will send troops to investigate immediately. The unruly people are so lawless."
Rong Changan gave the address of the distress, and the king immediately called the personal eunuch, the father-in-law who went to the post house to ask Rong Changan to come to the palace today:
"Immediately pass on my order to let Marshal Bingma lead a thousand soldiers to suppress the bandits!"
The father-in-law had never seen the king so angry, and he promised: "Observe the order!"
The father-in-law went in a hurry.
The king said to Rong Chang'an: "My concubine, I'm sorry, I was negligent. I thought our country never closed its doors at night, and business trips were out in the wild, but I never thought that such a scandal would happen! It's a great shame for the country! I will definitely arrest those people. , Apologize to the noble concubine!"
Rong Chang'an didn't expect the king to be so angry, and he really regretted that he shouldn't say this: "King, please calm down, maybe these people are not from your Yu Li country, but thieves from other countries came here to occupy the mountain and become king."
The king toasted to apologize: "Whether it is from our Yu Li country or not, we will know tomorrow."
On the second day, Rong Chang'an had changed his official document and was about to leave for Tianchi country. But I heard the beating of gongs and drums outside the post house. The scene was very grand, and Chuntao hurried in from outside:
"The king is coming, the king is coming!"
Even though Rong Changan was a noble concubine of the Shang Kingdom, she still wanted to go out to greet the king when she saw her, so she adjusted her clothes and headgear, took Chuntao and a few servants, walked out of the gate of the post house, and saluted the king of Yu Li Kingdom.
"The noble concubine Xue'er of the Great Jing Kingdom has saluted the king of the Yu Li Kingdom!"
The king hurriedly got off the yellow sedan chair, helped Rong Changan up, and said guiltily: "Last night, I thought the words of the noble concubine were not true. After the Marshal of Soldiers and Horses searched that place, he found their hiding place in the mountain. Concubine, yes We made a mistake and caused the noble concubine to be in danger, I am very sorry."
Although this Yu Li Country is small, its efficiency is quite high!
Rong Changan had no choice but to look at the king with admiration: "Have you found out the identities of those people?"
The king frowned: "It has never been found out. They don't seem to be citizens of our country."
Rong Changan: "They didn't say where they came from?"
The king shook his head: "They can't say anymore."
Rong Changan: "Why?"
King: "Because they are all dead!"
"What? You put them..."
The king hurriedly said: "It's not us! When the marshal led his troops into the stronghold, they were all dead. They died in a massacre."
"Have you found out who did it?"
King: "Not yet. But don't worry, noble concubine, I will give you and the Emperor Dajing an explanation."
The mission encountered an attack in another country. If it is not handled properly, it may damage the friendship between the two countries, so the king attaches great importance to this matter.
Those bandits must have been killed by the special envoy. Rong Chang'an looked at the special envoy standing beside him, and said to the king meaningfully: "If the king wants to investigate the person who killed the bandit, maybe you can ask the special envoy of Tianchi Kingdom, and you will get the answer."
The special envoy blushed, his ear muscles twitched, and he glared at Rong Changan angrily: "Concubine Xue, don't talk nonsense! Ask me? Can you ask me? I have nothing to do with this matter."
The king also asked Rong Changan: "Yes, why do you ask the special envoy of Tianchi Kingdom?"
Rong Chang'an faced the special envoy's glaring with an indifferent smile: "I mean, the special envoy has a flexible mind and a sharp mind. He can definitely help the king analyze the whole matter and figure out the ins and outs of the future. Special envoy, you are so angry, what are you thinking?" went?"
The special envoy couldn't refute it, snorted, and turned his face to the side: "Thanks for the compliment from the noble concubine."
The king was overjoyed: "Master Special Envoy, can you really help me find the murderer who killed the bandit? If possible, I would like to build a century-old friendship with Tianchi Kingdom."
The implication is to conclude a marriage with Tianchi country. The king has five daughters, none of whom are married yet, so it is not impossible to marry one of them to the Tianchi Kingdom.
The special envoy responded coldly: "Let me think about this matter for you after I return to China."
Rong Changan beat the side drum: "King, as long as the special envoy thinks about it slowly, he will definitely be able to find the murderer for you."
The special envoy was suspicious, why did Xueer say that, did she already know that the bandit was killed by him? Do you also know about his collusion with Kong Damu
The king brought Rong Chang'an, the special envoy, Jin Renxin and others to the palace, and held a farewell banquet. After eating for a while, the king sent Rong Chang'an and others out of the gate of the capital. Rong Chang'an went far away, and the king was still watching from behind.
