"My lord, Princess Xiao Yanyan is here!" Dian Wei suddenly walked up to Li Xiang and whispered.
"Okay, I've caught up, let her in!" Li Xiang said nonchalantly. He originally planned to go to the post house to meet the other party in the next few days, but he did not expect that the other party came to him first.
Coincidentally, Shunanda from Nanman arrived today, and Xiao Yanyan came here just in time to perform this dance. Shunanda had presided over dance performances during the Tang Dynasty. In this life, he confidently performed dances for the Han Dynasty. He must have a few brushes.
By the way, Sunanda had come out to perform the dance before balancing several times, but he didn't arrive until now. Moreover, we arrived in Chang'an instead of Luoyang. This efficiency is really touching!
Li Xiang himself complained crazily out of boredom, but he didn't know Shunanda's hardships!
Among the Southern Barbarians, there were pro-Han factions such as Duan Siping, Mu Wang, and Mu Zeng, but more of them were die-hard factions such as Jia Luana, Yu Shi, Wu Tu Gu, Meng Huo, Mrs. Zhu Rong, and King Mulu. Shunanda's journey was unavoidable from the assassinations of these die-hard elements.
Moreover, at this special time, Shunanda did not dare to go northward via Liu Che's territory, so he could only take a long detour through Jiaozhou and Jingzhou.
Originally, when they were about to set off to dance for the Emperor of Han Dynasty, they wanted to go to Yang Jian's place. However, after leaving the southern barbarians and arriving at the territory of the Han people, they got the news that Yang Jian had been destroyed by the Jin army.
However, this has little to do with them. Their purpose was just to perform dances for the Emperor of Han, express their surrender, and let the Emperor of Han, or the princes behind the Emperor of Han, intervene in the war of the Southern Barbarians.
As Shunanda and the others got closer to Li Xiang's territory, they encountered more and more assassins. Finally, when they arrived in Nanyang, Shunanda improvised and some of the guards pretended to march towards Luoyang, while the rest pretended to dress up and quietly headed towards Guanzhong. After arriving in Guanzhong, we headed towards Luoyang, Sizhou.
After all, how could those assassins have thought that they would take a long detour when they were about to enter Sizhou. This is very likely to temporarily get rid of the assassins. After they enter the territory of the Jin army, they can try to seek asylum from the Jin army.
Therefore, when Shunanda arrived at Wuguan, since Li Xiang happened to be in Chang'an at this time, the Wuguan guard sent them directly to Chang'an. Shunanda and the others didn't have any objections to this.
He knew very well that whether it was with Yang Jian or now with Li Xiang, the emperor was not the one who could call the shots. The goal of their dance this time was not so much the emperor of the Han Dynasty, but to control the emperor. princes.
"I've met the king!" Not long after, Xiao Yanyan walked in under the leadership of Dian Wei and performed the standard Han etiquette.
It has to be said that Xiao Yanyan is worthy of being called the Pearl of the Grassland. She is indeed a beauty with natural beauty. Her skin is smooth and moist, her lips are red, her teeth are bright, and her almond-shaped eyes are slightly slit, which makes her even more beautiful and beautiful. Especially her cheerful and bright personality makes people look very comfortable.
"Princess, there is no need to be polite. Please take your seat first!" Li Xiang pointed to a seat next to him.
"By the way, it's better for the princess to do as the locals do in the future!" Li Xiang reminded her in a nonchalant manner. Compared with the clothing of the grasslands, Li Xiang is more accustomed to and prefers to see the clothing of the Han people. The most important thing is that Li Xiang no longer needs to get used to others, but has to let others get used to him.
Xiao Yanyan promised softly and then sat down gracefully.
Xiao Yanyan actually did not object to this political marriage, and even if he resisted, it would be useless. Men conquer women by conquering the world, and women conquer men by conquering the world. As the first prince of the Han Dynasty, Li Xiang, as the most powerful man in the world, obviously Li Xiang meets Xiao Yanyan's standards in all aspects.
Moreover, as far as Xiao Yanyan knew, although Li Xiang had a house full of concubines, he had no favorites, which meant that Li Xiang had no one in his heart at this time. With her beauty and skills, after marrying her, she would sooner or later control the back room. power.
Of course, when Xiao Yanyan actually interacts with the people in Li Xiang's back room, she will know how unrealistic everything he had imagined was.
"Princess, I must have seen a lot of the scenery of the Han Dynasty along the way. I don't know how it compares to the grassland!" Li Xiang started to chat while picking up the wine that Xiao Yanyan had just poured for him.
"The grassland is vast and the big men are beautiful. They all have their own strengths. It's just that nowadays, the king is so uninterested in wine and beautiful women!" Xiao Yanyan replied a little sarcastically.
"Uh!" Li Xiang was slightly startled, and then he understood that the other party might have misunderstood something. The conscience of heaven and earth, what he said just now really had no other meaning in it, it was just casual chat.
"Interesting, I just don't know what kind of interest the princess wants?" After being startled, Li Xiang then lifted the other person's chin and leaned close to her, half-smiling but not smiling. The place where he started was so delicate that Li Xiang's heart swayed slightly.
This woman from the grassland was indeed very interesting, and she had already thought of teasing him the first time they met. Although there are three prairie women at home, those three are more like trophies and would not be so bold on weekdays.
As the bodies of the two parties came closer, a strong masculine aura came. Xiao Yanyan's face turned slightly red, but it returned to its original state the next moment.
"It depends on what kind of taste the king likes!" Xiao Yanyan said with charming eyes.
"The Nanman envoy has arrived!" A voice came from outside the lobby. Li Xiang reluctantly put down the hand that was holding the other party's chin and regained his serious expression. At the same time, I couldn't help but curse in my heart, I didn't come earlier, I didn't come late, but it happened to be here at this time.
At the same time, Xiao Yanyan beside her also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although people from the grasslands are more open-minded than people from the Central Plains, they are not open enough to take the initiative to tease a man. Fortunately, the Nanman mission arrived at this time, otherwise, if it continued to develop, she would not know how to proceed.
"Let's begin!" After a brief salute, Li Xiang went straight to the point.
To be honest, Li Xiang didn't pay much attention to this mission that came to perform the dance. Moreover, Li Xiang cannot do what the other party wants. Do you think that Liu Che would really listen to Li Xiang if he said a word to ask them to cease fighting?
Originally, Li Xiang had planned to use Nanman to see how he could provide conditions for him to move south to Bashu. However, as a piece of information came from the Floating Water Room that Nanman was defeated again, Li Xiang gave up this thought.
The reason why the Nanman were able to continue their stalemate with Liu Che was because of their geographical and natural advantages. However, geographical and natural advantages cannot stop Liu Che for a lifetime, just like they could not stop Zhuge Liang in the original Three Kingdoms.
Based on the current situation of the Southern Barbarians, by the time Li Xiang attacks Yizhou, the Southern Barbarians may have been conquered by Liu Che for a long time! The ability of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was not empty.
When that time comes, maybe when Li Xiang goes south to Yizhou, the enemies he will face include some of the Nanman!
