The diplomatic envoys continued to move forward under the escort of the welcoming team and soon arrived at the first city in Tianyue Kingdom.
The scale of the city here does not seem to be much different from that of the Tang Kingdom, but Ye Li can see obvious signs of time on the city walls. It can be seen that the city walls here have gone through countless years of trials and tribulations.
The direction of the capital of Tianyue Kingdom is still quite far, and it will take at least two days to get there, so they will need accommodation along the way.
Because of the guidance of the welcoming team, Ye Li and his companions no longer had to camp outside. Instead, they had a special post station to rest, and the conditions were much better.
After dinner on the first night, Ye Li, Li Rushan and others gathered together to chat casually, and inadvertently mentioned the matter of the longbow.
Hearing Ye Li's doubts, Li Rushan smiled softly and said, "Ye Li, it seems that you don't know that Tianyue Country has always been called the Country of the Divine Bow."
Ye Li was stunned when he heard this and said, "Ah
The Kingdom of the Divine Bow!? "
Li Rushan nodded and said, "Yes, it is the Kingdom of the Divine Bow.
The Tianyue Kingdom itself has always been praised on the continent for its strong bows and arrows. A good bow forged by the Tianyue Kingdom is more expensive than an ordinary spiritual weapon of the same level.
This type of longbow spiritual weapon is extremely powerful. When equipped with a special bow and arrow, it has enormous lethality and can launch attacks from a long distance, which is very handy.
However, good longbow spiritual weapons require some special techniques when casting. These are the secrets of the Tianyue Kingdom and ordinary people have no way of knowing them.
The fact that Tianyue Nation was able to become the most powerful nation in the world back then was closely related to their bow-making skills."
After hearing what Li Rushan said, Ye Li immediately understood. No wonder the longbows of the welcoming team looked so special.
Starting from the time they entered Tianyue Kingdom, it took Ye Li and his delegation another three days before they finally arrived at the capital of Tianyue Kingdom - Yuehuang City.
When Ye Li saw the city of Yuehuang City from the carriage, a hint of surprise appeared on his face, because he found that the city walls of this city were actually moon-white in color.
This was the first time Ye Li had seen a city wall of this color. It had a unique kind of beauty.
Most of the welcoming team had no intention of following the delegation into the city, but stopped outside the city gate. Only Yue Yingxian and a small number of a dozen members of the welcoming team accompanied the delegation's convoy into Yuehuang City.
Ye Li casually compared Yuehuang City and Tangjing City. He found that Yuehuang City was actually more majestic than Tangjing City in terms of scale and urban layout. Yuehuang City even seemed to have a more profound feeling that came from the accumulation of time.
When the convoy entered the city, the people in the city stopped and gathered on the roadside to watch. In their opinion, the Tang convoy was also a foreign country and was a rare sight.
Following the leadership of Yue Yingxian, after entering the city, the convoy headed straight to the inner city area of Yuehuang City, which is where the imperial palace is located.
They had no intention of going directly to see Emperor Shenyue, but were first taken to the palace, to the guest area specially used to entertain foreign guests.
There are already quite a few guests from other countries living here, so it seems quite lively.
Only those in the core area of the delegation of about 100 people lived in the guest area of the palace. After Li Rushan gave some instructions, most of the rest were taken to live elsewhere.
“Your Highness Prince Rushan, this is our guest area, and this is where you will rest.
There are many guests from other countries living here, and I hope you can get along well with them.
A servant will come in a moment, arrange rooms for you, and take you there for some rest.
Father has been busy with government affairs these past two days, and may not have time to meet with you individually before the birthday celebration. Please forgive me."
Yue Yingxian said to Li Rushan.
Li Rushan waved his hands and said, "Your Highness Yingxian, it's alright!
His Majesty Shen Yue is very busy with government affairs, so it's not a big deal that he doesn't have time to meet us alone, and we don't mind.
Anyway, the birthday is in two days, and it would be in accordance with etiquette to visit His Majesty at the birthday banquet."
Yue Yingxian nodded when he heard this. After arranging Li Rushan and others to the reception area, he was about to leave. Just as he turned around, he seemed to remember something and turned back to say, "By the way, Your Highness Rushan, there is one more thing I want to tell you. We will have a Full Moon Hunt in two days, which is a hunting event that all the younger generations of the royal family will participate in.
If Your Highness Rushan has no objection, you can also arrange for some people to participate. We have also invited envoys from other countries. I believe this Full Moon Hunting event will be particularly lively."
When Li Rushan heard Yue Yingxian's invitation, he smiled and said, "I have heard that the Full Moon Hunt in Tianyue Country is one of the oldest hunting activities, and its heritage can be traced back to ancient times.
If I remember correctly, in addition to hunting monsters, there is also a Moon Mountain Trial at the end of this activity, which is something people really want to see."
Yue Yingxian was delighted when she heard this and said, "So, His Highness Rushan has agreed to send someone to participate in this Full Moon Hunt?"
Li Rushan nodded and said, "Yes, Your Highness Yingxian, we are willing to participate in this Full Moon Hunt."
"Okay, great. Someone will come to tell you about the precautions for the Full Moon Hunt later. I won't disturb you any longer.
If you need anything, you can tell the servants here directly, and they will do their best to meet your needs. "
Yue Yingxian gave some final instructions before turning around and leaving the reception area with a smile on her face.
Ye Li looked at Yue Yingxian's back and said, "His Highness Yingxian seems to be a very nice person, very friendly."
Li Rushan nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, this prince is indeed famous for his good temper, and it is easy for people to like him at first sight.
I think this is probably the reason why Emperor Shenyue sent him to serve as the welcoming ambassador."
As they were talking, the servants in the reception area came over, led Ye Li and his group into the reception area, and arranged accommodation for everyone.
The brothers Ye Li and Liu Zhanqing both live next to Li Rushan, one to protect him and the other to facilitate communication.
After settling down, several people gathered together to discuss some follow-up matters. After finishing the business, Ye Li was curious and asked about the Full Moon Hunt.
"Your Highness, what kind of activity is this Full Moon Hunt!?"
Ye Li asked with curiosity on his face.
Li Rushan was stunned when he heard this, and then he explained: "This Full Moon Hunt is a hunting activity initiated when the moon is full.
This is an activity unique to Tianyue Country. Legend has it that it was originally a challenge launched by spiritual warriors to prove their strength to the monsters, and later it evolved into an activity for humans to compete through hunting. "
