I prepared until midnight and regained my energy.
Yang Ying walked into the school field prepared by Li Tongguang with her head held high.
What hits your face is the aroma of roasted lamb.
Li Tongguang cooked the food himself, and the tender lambs were tumbling over the bonfire. The crackling sound of fat mixed with the aroma reached the noses of the envoys.
Swallowing, Yang Ying subconsciously turned back to look at Jingting behind her.
"His Royal Highness Prince Li has arrived, and I am waiting to greet him from afar."
Before Jingting could answer, Li Tongguang had already come out to greet him with a smile on his face: "The envoy has worked hard all the way, and I will prepare a small amount of wine to welcome His Highness."
"Marquis Changqing is interested."
Although it was different from what he expected before coming, Yang Ying still handled it well.
After everyone was polite for a while, Li Tongguang led everyone to the table. The lamb, which was grilled to perfection, was served in front of everyone like running water. The clear mountain spring wine exuded a strong aroma. Hexian County is not a wealthy place. This is what Li Tongguang can do. The limit of what you can do.
Ning Yuanzhou moved his fingers slightly, signaling Sun Lang to pay attention to the surrounding environment, and then looked at Qian Zhao, who shook his head, indicating that it was not poisonous.
Looking at Jingting who was sitting with Ren Ruyi, the Taoist had already drank, picked up the mutton on the plate and fed it to Ren Ruyi's mouth.
Resisting to look away, Li Tongguang waved his hand, and several strong men were brought up to perform wrestling and hitting skills, which attracted cheers from everyone.
"Your Highness, look, there are An people from central Sha, as well as An people from eastern Sha and northern Sha. The one here looks like he is from Beipan."
Yuan Lu explained to Yang Ying not far away from Yang Ying: "This Changqing Marquis has indeed fought countless battles, including prisoners in Beipan."
"Not bad."
Yang Ying nodded. She was not interested in the brutality in front of her, but it was also a scenery she had never seen before.
"Come, Your Highness, everyone from the envoy, please drink this cup. After today, I will return to Andu first. My duty of introducing envoys has not yet been completed, and I am waiting for the envoy in Andu."
After drinking for three rounds, Li Tongguang stood up and greeted everyone in the delegation with a wine glass in his hand.
"Marquis Changqing is so polite. On behalf of the whole delegation, I would like to thank Marquis Changqing for hosting the banquet."
Yang Ying picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
"I have another gift to give to His Highness."
A smile appeared on Li Tongguang's face and he waved to his adjutant: "Bring them up."
The adjutant left the banquet, and in a blink of an eye, he brought a group of prisoners with him. These prisoners were not handcuffed, and their clothes were not tattered. They just had obvious signs of torture. They lowered their heads and did not dare to look at the people in the mission.
"Tao Jian!"
Seeing the prisoner standing in front, Ning Yuanzhou stood up.
"Master Ning, Tao Jian is incompetent. I'm sorry to Liu Daotang and I'm sorry to you for not being able to protect Chai Ming."
Tao Jian burst into tears when he saw Ning Yuanzhou.
"Where is Mr. Chai Ming, where is he buried?"
Speaking of Chai Ming, Qian Zhao rushed down from the banquet excitedly.
"In the river beside Guide Garden..." Tao Jian lowered his head, his face full of grief.
"General Yuan."
Yang Ying also stood up. Under Yuan Lu's prompting, he recognized the old man who was the leader of the prisoners.
"Your Highness..."
General Yuan had never seen Yang Ying, but when he saw Yang Ying's princely clothes and the jade on her head and the golden bowl in front of her case, she also understood the identity of the person in front of her. He knelt down and said, "I am incompetent, and the battle will be unfavorable. If His Majesty is captured, he will be punished with death."
"Old General, please get up quickly."
Yang Ying stepped down and helped the old man up with her own hands: "The old general has served the country so far and is already a hero. How can he kneel down to me, the pampered king of ceremony in the deep palace?"
"His Royal Highness Prince Li is able to live thousands of miles away because he cares about the world. Of course he can bear the bow of the guilty minister." General Yuan was helped to stand up, with tears in his eyes.
"Well, you are worthy of King Dawuli. I admire you."
Li Tongguang stood up and walked slowly to the front of the stage: "I have made the decision today. Let His Royal Highness Prince Li take these Tianmen Pass prisoners of war back."
Before Li Tongguang finished speaking, Ren Ruyi looked at Jingting beside him, with a trace of pride flashing in his eyes.
"So, thank you so much, Marquis Changqing. I, Dawu, will remember this kindness."
There was no way to refuse this gift, Yang Ying could only nod in agreement, and Ning Yuanzhou waved to Sun Lang and Du Changshi to handle the handover.
The banquet continued, but at this time, the tense atmosphere in the venue was no longer as tense as it was at the beginning.
Li Tongguang raised his glass frequently and looked at Yang Ying but hesitated to speak.
"If Marquis Changqing has something to say, you might as well say it directly."
Yang Ying spoke calmly.
"It's inconvenient to have so many people talking here. Your Highness, I would like to invite you to follow me into the quiet room for a chat."
Li Tongguang smiled slightly and stood up.
"Your Highness."
Yuan Lu always pays attention to Yang Ying's movements.
"Don't worry, I believe that Marquis Changqing won't do anything to me, right?"
Yang Ying also stood up. The little girl glanced at Jingting not far away. The Taoist's eyes stopped on her and gave her a reassuring look.
"please."
Yang Ying followed Li Tongguang into the quiet room.
Click, click, clang~ clang~ clang~
As soon as he entered the quiet room and sat down, Li Tongguang took out a mechanism that had been prepared. The mechanism made bursts of noise to prevent the conversation between the two from reaching the ears of a third person.
"Marquis Changqing is hosting a banquet and delivering prisoners. You can tell me what you want now."
Slowly exhaling, Yang Ying calmed down and said, "The things you did today are enough to surprise me."
"I am also surprised that Dawu's Prince Li is actually a woman."
Li Tongguang's next words stunned Yang Ying: "Your Highness will not think that I am staying at the mission for the past two days just to recuperate from my injuries, nor will you underestimate my master, I am her only apprentice! "
"How did you find out?"
"This is all thanks to the little Liudaotang guard who follows you every day. Yesterday morning, he passed by my window with a lot of fruits in his arms and muttered: These are all sweet. Although your highness is a courtesy, Wang Dan is also a girl, so she will definitely like it."
Li Tongguang looked directly into Yang Ying's eyes: "I can swear to conceal your identity! Not to reveal it to anyone!"
"What do you want?!"
"Aren't you going to welcome back your imperial brother? I can help you! After I returned, I immediately advised Emperor An that if necessary, I could also use my concubine in the palace. I promise that as long as the envoy Step into the gate of Andu City, and there will be news within a month!"
"what do you want?"
"I want you to help me! Let Master, come back to me!" Li Tongguang's eyes were red.
"impossible!"
"Then don't blame me for being ruthless! Before you came, I had asked Wu Qian, the defender of Hexian County, to clean up the military camp. As soon as the envoys were seated, they immediately surrounded this place. That smelly Taoist priest has great martial arts and can lead you away. , but the rest of your mission are not so lucky.
If your identity is exposed, you will no longer be able to continue your mission to Anguo. Now the safety of everyone in the mission and the thousands of people in Dawu are all in your hands! "
Li Tongguang took out a bronze mirror from somewhere and placed it in front of Yang Ying:
"Look at your eyes! Your Highness Prince Li, these are the same eyes as mine, you are the same as me! You like your master! You like that stinky Taoist priest!
Work with me! You returned to Wu State with the peace between the two countries and that Taoist priest, and I... I only want my master to come back to me! "
