To borrow a road from the Yue clan, you need to pay a borrowing fee according to the rules.
But one is the Dayu Kingdom and the other is the Assab Kingdom. The Yue clan does not dare to offend them at all, so how can they dare to ask for travel expenses.
Assab was short of food due to climate reasons, but he was not short of gold, so he gave him a hundred taels of gold as travel expenses with a wave of his hand.
The local officials of the Yue clan burst into tears of gratitude and even arranged a lunch.
Cheng Wanwan took the opportunity to inquire about the current war situation between Dayu and Laji.
The officials of the Yue clan spoke while the officials from Honglu Temple who were good at the language of the Yue clan were responsible for the translation.
"...The army of the Dayu Kingdom pressed on the border, and the Laji Kingdom crawled back to their island. We, the Yue Clan, also had a moment of respite... The ships on the sea are ready, and we are waiting for the autumn fog to dissipate to officially start the war... Listen Said, I, the king of the Yue clan, supported 10,000 soldiers to help the Dayu Kingdom fight against the Laji Kingdom... After destroying a Laji Kingdom, the Yue clan will only have to concentrate on fighting against the Xirong Kingdom..."
The local officials looked at Daewoo with gratitude in their eyes.
If Laji Country becomes the territory of Dayu Country, then from now on, they will no longer have to be harassed by Laji Country.
As for Xirong Kingdom, they dare to harass even the border areas of Dayu Kingdom, let alone their mere Yue clan...
I hope that Dayu Kingdom will finish defeating Laji Kingdom, then declare war with Xirong Kingdom, and defeat Xirong Kingdom...
The territory of the Yue clan is in the shape of a crescent, running from east to west. After walking from south to north for three days, they left the Yue clan and officially arrived at the gate of Assab.
Assab is the northernmost place, perhaps to let them experience the weather in Assab. On the first day they arrived here, it started to rain. The temperature also dropped a lot on windy and rainy days. The air was cool, giving people a sense of coolness. It feels like late autumn or early winter.
In fact, it is only August 20. When we were in Dahe Town, there was still the lingering heat of midsummer at the end of August, commonly known as autumn tiger, and it was extremely hot.
But when you get here, you have to wear more clothes when you get out of the carriage, otherwise you will easily catch a cold.
Cheng Wanwan kept raising the car curtain to look at the scenery outside.
The capital of Assab was chosen to be a large city with water in the south of the country. The style of the city walls has a very ancient European feel, with arched gates, high towers every ten meters, and many circular The fortresses and battlements look extremely majestic from a distance.
There are many big stones stacked at the city gate, and countless people are standing beside the big stones.
These ordinary people held flowers in their hands. After the royal motorcade came, they began to throw flowers, and countless petals fell from the sky.
The crowd retreated to both sides, and a man about forty years old walked out of the arched city gate.
He was dressed in golden armor, with a long scimitar hanging on his waist. His hair was golden, with green eyes and a hooked nose. He was very imposing.
He clasped his hands into fists and said loudly: "I will lead all the officials to welcome the king and queen back to the court!"
Behind him were all the court officials of Assab, who all shouted in unison to welcome the return of the king and queen.
"I lead all the officials to welcome the officials of the Qin Dynasty of Dayu to Assab!"
After he finished speaking, the civil and military officials repeated his words again, their voices extremely powerful.
King Assab got out of the royal carriage, and Cheng Wanwan followed the queen.
King Yali first saluted the king and queen of his country, and then looked at King Qin: "I have long heard that the king of Dayu is a suave man with a jade tree in the wind. When I saw it today, it was true. I, Asab, have prepared the best martyrdom. Come, wine, meat and beauties, please enter the city.”
Cheng Wanwan, as the translator, said these words again.
Only then did King Yali notice the woman Cheng Wanwan, with an interesting smile on his face: "This must be the famous Mrs. Sui from the Dayu Kingdom. I have never been out of the Assab Kingdom, and everyone knows Mrs. Sui." His famous name, I didn’t expect to see him.”
"The prince is so complimentary." Cheng Wanwan said with a faint smile, "I have also heard that the prince of Assab is brave and brave, and the rumors are indeed true."
Prince Yali laughed loudly: "Mrs. Sui speaks Assab very well. King Qin and I will discuss important matters. Please ask Mrs. Sui to be the intermediary to convey our intentions."
Cheng Wanwan followed the good advice and responded: "This is my duty."
Prince Yali didn't say anything more to Cheng Wanwan, but walked with King Qin at the front towards the city.
A county prince openly walked in the first place when both the king and the queen were present. This showed no concern for the royal family's face.
The king and queen seemed to have long been used to it. They were talking to the prince and princess who had also been ignored. The family was walking together, and the atmosphere was quite warm... Perhaps, this was the biggest reason why the king and queen suddenly decided to take back their military power.
After entering the city, take the royal sedan chair directly into the palace.
Everything has been prepared in the palace. Beef, mutton, and pork are placed on the table, and countless delicacies are piled on the plates. In the center of the hall, naked palace maids are dancing with their waists swaying, and there are many beauties playing and singing on the side. The atmosphere of the scene is Extremely lively.
The king and queen sat at the top, followed by King Yali, then King Qin, and then Cheng Wanwan. Sitting opposite were the other members of the royal family.
"This is the best liquor in Assab." King Yali raised his glass, "Come, let's drink one together."
King Qin raised his glass and touched it with him. He drank it and couldn't help but praise: "It is indeed a good wine."
The wine in Dayu Country is relatively mild. He has never drunk such a strong wine. Although it is spicy, it is very enjoyable to drink it.
Shen Dongming took a sip and his eyes lit up. This was indeed a spirit that was not available in Dayu. If he could figure out the brewing process, his trip would not be in vain. In addition to wine, he also tasted other foods. As long as you are interested, you will keep it in mind, and you can inquire about the growth habits of these foods in detail later...
At the banquet, Prince Yali kept asking King Qin to talk, and Cheng Wanwan's mouth was almost dry as a translator.
The king and queen were invisible from beginning to end, as if they didn't exist at all.
"I heard that King Qin is not married yet?" Prince Yali put down his wine glass and pointed to the opposite side, "That is my little daughter, Princess Liuli. In the words of your Dayu Dynasty, she is in her second year of life. What does King Qin think?"
Cheng Wanwan silently relayed these words to King Qin, and then added a sentence of his own: "On the way, I reminded the prince, and the prince still thought it was nonsense. How about it? Now you believe it." ?”
The wine in King Qin's mouth almost spurted out.
He knew that Prince Yali had only one unmarried daughter, who was only fourteen years old. He believed that no father would marry such a young daughter to an old man in his thirties... Well, let him Just be an old man.
Cheng Wanwan mentioned it to him before, but he didn't take it to heart at all. As a result, he was arranged on the first day he came to Assab.
Prince Yali waved his hand: "Liu Li, come here and have a few drinks with the prince of Dayu Kingdom."
Princess Liuli came over with a shy face, sat on the empty seat next to King Qin, picked up the jug and poured wine for King Qin, and then handed it to King Qin's lips herself.
