Going to the evil country to investigate is not a good job.
With Li Guang's urging, the new emperor had no choice but to find ways to open up.
Thoroughly exploring the hostile country and building possible allies to attack from both sides is a hastily launched plan.
As long as a neighboring country can attack and suppress the evil country, the Han Dynasty will have the confidence to fight back or even take the initiative.
External affairs have always been a matter of endless debate in the court, but the new emperor's current arrangement is very neutral. It does not involve external expeditions but appeases the radical factions in the court.
This made Li Guang and others willing to wait, and also allowed Zhi Buning and others from the conservative faction not to object. As for the faction advocating peace talks, they also believed that the conditions for such a thing to be reached were too difficult and would not have a big impact at the moment.
There was an extremely tacit balance in the court.
But everyone gave moral support to the new emperor's proposal, and if anyone was asked to take the initiative to accept the task, no one would do it.
The matter ultimately fell on the excluded 'dissidents', such as Gongsun Hong and others who were excluded by Confucianism.
Another man, Zhang Qian, took the initiative to invite him.
Gongsun Hong really didn't want to do such a thing, but Zhang Qian was full of ideas and motivation.
"Let me tell you, when I come back after a year of wandering, we two brothers will want to eat popular and spicy food." Zhang Qian said with excitement: "If I am made a marquis for this, it will be a step to the sky."
"You're right," Zhang Xuezhou said flatteringly.
"Cousin, is it really that good outside Guanwai?" Rong Tianding asked in a low voice.
"I don't want to go anyway!"
Zhang Xuezhou whispered back, which made Rong Tianding understand immediately.
Good words can't persuade a damned person. Zhang Qian is obviously like a bull that can't be turned back. Zhang Xuezhou can only try his best to help him within his ability.
Wuchao will definitely be a qualified helper.
Wuchao didn't want to return to the Western religion, and he was wanted in the evil country. He had a family and couldn't return, and he couldn't borrow the power of the royal family. He was in trouble and was alone.
In this case, a force that can be close to him is definitely the best choice for Wuchao.
Although it is not said how much benefit the Han Dynasty can bring, at least within the territory of the Han Dynasty, it is possible for Wuchao to get rid of Brother Tathagata and gain some freedom.
As for Wu Chao leading the way for Zhang Qian, it is easier to say. Wu Chao just cannot borrow the power of the royal family of the Fierce Country. It does not mean that Wu Chao cannot go to the Fierce Country. As long as Wu Chao uses the face-changing technique, Wu Chao can easily go to the Fierce Country.
As for some of the arrangements, it depends on how Zhang Qian and Wu Chao respond.
"Then I congratulate you on leaving early and returning early, and may you be promoted and make a fortune when you come back," Zhang Xuezhou congratulated.
"Don't worry Manqian, I will never forget you after I become successful!"
The news was revealed by Zhang Xuezhou, who also recommended a suitable candidate to lead the way. Zhang Qian felt that this was his best friend. If he was promoted and made rich in the future, he would definitely support his friend vigorously.
After receiving the news about Zhang Xuezhou, Zhang Qian couldn't help but act in a hurry. After thanking him repeatedly, he went out to find someone for help.
"Then outside the customs..."
"Without gold and silver all over the place, and no medicine everywhere, if the evil country was so good, why would they come to the Han Dynasty to rob it!"
"Isn't this Mr. Zhang going to be unlucky in the future?"
"He can't suffer much!"
As long as Zhang Qian finds Wuchao, Zhang Xuezhou feels that everything will be safe.
With insiders like Wuchao leading the way, it will not be difficult to get some benefits and let Zhang Qian smoothly make the deal.
Zhang Xuezhou and Rong Tianding went out and saw the sound of Zhang Qian hurried away. They also heard Gongsun Hong in the far house saying loudly, "Qiang, please forgive me for judging others. Let's do our best." Jealousy's endowment.
Zhang Xuezhou must say that people do not understand each other's joys and sorrows.
Although they were doing the same thing, Gongsun Hong and Zhang Qian had completely different mentality.
Zhang Xuezhou could recommend a guide to Zhang Qian, but he could not recommend one to Gongsun Hong.
Firstly, he knew Wu Chao, a person who could lead the way. Secondly, he had overheard the conversation between Gongsun Hong and Shen Peigong, and he had some grudges in his heart. He felt that the other person was a veteran in the workplace and might be capricious.
People like Gongsun Hong can have shallow friendships but not deep friendships, and they also need to offend less, so as not to be easily led into a pit by the other party.
After turning a corner in the alley, Zhang Xuezhou and Rong Tianding left.
He walked two streets and was about to walk back to the West Market through this area when he saw an old man with silver hair and Confucian robes appearing in front of him on crutches.
Zhang Xuezhou glanced at him and was about to continue on his way when he heard the other party whisper.
"Master's nephew!"
When a familiar voice came, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"Come on, come on," the old man waved.
"What is your identity?" Zhang Xuezhou asked as he approached.
"I just changed my appearance to temporarily replace the old Confucian Yuan Gu," the old man waved his hand.
"Yuan Gu?"
"The great Confucian scholar is just a little too old, otherwise he would still be very capable of doing things," the old man hissed.
"Just do it!"
Hearing the old man mentioning something to do, Zhang Xuezhou felt that nothing good was going to happen.
He waved his hand, indicating that the other party could do whatever they wanted without involving him.
"It can't be done." The old man shook his head and said, "I originally wanted to take away a bottle of dragon blood collected by the palace, but I didn't expect that the Han Dynasty Palace would really lose that treasure!"
"What are you doing with dragon blood?"
Zhang Xuezhou originally wanted to escape as soon as possible, but when he heard this cheap uncle mentioned the blood of the ancestral dragon, his heart trembled, and then he added.
"We have a top master there. His body can evade soul-stirring spells and magic weapons, but he can't evade normal spells. He just wants to use dragon blood to make up for it." The old man smiled and said: "Who would have thought that this blood would be used in circles? The people got there first!"
"That's a pity!" Zhang Xuezhou sighed.
"It's not a pity!"
The old man replied to Zhang Xuezhou, and then his eyes shifted to Rong Tianding, his sharp eyes scanning up and down constantly.
"It's really effortless to get it without trying to find anywhere." The old man whispered: "I didn't expect that you little brat swallowed that blood!"
"What are you going to do?"
The old man reached out and grabbed Rong Tianding, which made Rong Tianding scream, and Zhang Xuezhou raised his hand to block him.
A light-colored brilliance swept across Rong Tianding's body and then disappeared without a trace.
"As expected!"
The old man's spells were swept away.
He looked at Rong Tianding who was hiding behind Zhang Xuezhou, and then at Zhang Xuezhou who was about to shout, and quickly stretched out his hand.
"Don't cause trouble for me here," the old man said, "I'm just giving it a try!"
"What happens next?" Zhang Xuezhou asked warily.
"Then I thought we could make a deal!"
The old man did not use reason or the power behind it to overwhelm people, he just stated a very simple truth.
"You are not capable of using this dragon's blood. Even if you pursue it for a lifetime, you will most likely not be able to improve the armor of annihilation it brings," the old man said.
"This is our business," Zhang Xuezhou frowned.
"But you can cooperate with us. If we take this blood, we will definitely give you corresponding rewards." The old man said: "This kind of exchange is better than others coming to capture your cousin, and then use it to bleed to refine the blood essence!"
"As long as you don't tell me, who can capture my cousin and bleed him?"
"I can control my own mouth and not talk about this, but I can't control the other three people who do this." The old man said: "I can find out the clues. Your cousin is also likely to be discovered after being bumped into by them. At this time Maybe one year, two years, maybe three to five years, are you willing to bet?"
The old man's words made Zhang Xuezhou and Rong Tianding very nervous.
Regardless of whether the old man's words were true or false, they really couldn't bet.
