Chapter 1342 - 1342: An Envoy from Another Country
Chapter 1342 - 1342: An Envoy from Another Country
This continent was mainly made up of Black Cloud Country, Dark Dragon
Country, Longyan Country, Shuizhou Country, Aduo Chai Country, Southern Border, and a dozen other small countries.
The Black Cloud Nation, Dark Dragon Nation, and Longyan Nation were the three strongest nations.
The most powerful was the Black Clouds Country, followed by the Dark Dragon Country, and finally, the Longyan Country.
Shuizhou Country was a country that was surrounded by large waters. There was very little land. The people here mainly caught things from the river for a living. They usually did not have rice for a few years and lived very poor.
The Aduo Chai Kingdom was a country that roamed the Great Prairie. They mainly raised sheep and horses for a living. Similarly, they were a nomadic tribe that fought the world on horseback. They could be considered a country with strong soldiers and horses.
However, they had no fixed residence and had few people and food. Otherwise, perhaps the entire world would be theirs.
Southern Border was a very mysterious country.
Although the population was sparse, the people of this country were very good at poison and witchcraft.
At the entrance of the capital
In order to ensure the personal safety of the foreign diplomatic missions that came to Longyan Kingdom, they had been on high alert since three days ago, from the courier station on the outskirts of the capital to the courier station in the imperial city.
When the people of the capital heard that there was a diplomatic mission from another country, they all rushed out excitedly and ran to the city gate to watch the show.
This time, the person who received the diplomatic corps was Crown Prince Yuwen Yan Yu.
Yuwen Yan Yu, as the crown prince, led the civil and military officials of the imperial court to stand at the gate of the city to welcome the guests.
The countries that came this time were Black Cloud Country, Dark Dragon Country, ShuiZhou Country, and Aduo Chai Country. Other than the southern border, there were four other countries.
The representative who came this time:
The Second Prince of the Black Clouds Kingdom, Xiao Jingrui, and the Sixth Princess, Xiao Jingyu;
Dark Dragon Kingdom’s Third Prince Xiao Hetian and Ninth Prince Xiao Heshui;
Prince Leng Qiyi and Princess Leng Qingxue of Shuizhou Kingdom;
The First Prince of Aduo Chai, Henara Azhe, and the High Priest, Liang Renhui.
Other than the High Priest of Aduo Chai Kingdom, the leaders of the diplomatic corps from other countries were all young and talented princes or princesses. Therefore, the purpose of their visit this time was very simple-marriage.
Crown Prince Yuwen Yanyu was wearing the apricot yellow robe that represented his identity as Crown Prince, which complemented his imposing manner and extraordinary handsomeness.
At this moment, he was standing at the city gate with a solemn and dignified expression, welcoming the arrival of the diplomatic mission.
Not long after, he heard the sound of horse hooves and footsteps.
The leading group was the Black Cloud Country, followed by Dark Dragon
Country, Aduo Chai Country, and Shui Zhou Country.
The Shui Zhou Country was the weakest, so it was at the back.
Upon seeing the envoys, Crown Prince Yuwen Yanyu cupped his fists and said to them,” Crown Prince Yuwen Yanyu of Longyan Country welcomes the envoys from all countries!”
“Hehe, I heard that the prince of Longyan Kingdom is gentle and elegant, and his temperament is extraordinary.”Her clear laughter echoed in the ears of the prince and all the ministers around him.
These words sounded like praise, but as the crown prince of a country, being praised as gentle and refined by the envoys of other countries was mocking the crown prince for not having any dignity and being weak.
He mocked the Crown Prince for being a weak Crown Prince, but in fact, he was hinting at the decline of the Longyan Kingdom.
Therefore, all the ministers of the Longyan Kingdom were livid when they
heard this.
However, Yuwen Yan Yu did not show any signs of anger. Instead, he said with a serious and polite smile,” Sixth Princess, you flatter me! Mother is from a scholarly family and has always been gentle and polite when dealing with people. This prince has been influenced by mother since young! This crown prince can’t learn 100% of mother’s manners, but this crown prince still understands 20 – 30% of them. This crown prince will still receive the guest with the best appearance!”
What he meant was that Longyan Country was a country of etiquette, which emphasized courtesy and etiquette.
In other words, she was impolite, and the Black Clouds Kingdom was impolite.
Xiao Jingyu, the sixth princess of the Black Cloud Kingdom, who was sitting in the carriage, smiled and said,” Prince Yuwen is indeed eloquent. He really lives up to his reputation!”
“Princess, you flatter me!” Yuwen Yan Yu smiled again, then sat down and said to everyone,” The Imperial City’s courier station has already arranged rooms for everyone. Everyone must be tired after traveling day and night. Please enter the city and rest at the courier station!”
The Imperial City’s courier station was a courier station that specialized in receiving diplomatic missions from other countries.
It was much safer than the rest of the official stations.
Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan stood on the city wall and watched the diplomatic corps from other countries enter the city.
Then, for some reason, she received a sharp gaze from the crowd.
Following his gaze, Lin Yuelan found that the man was the Second Prince of the Black Clouds Kingdom, Xiao Jingrui.
Lin Yuelan frowned slightly.
Jiang Zhennan saw Lin Yuelan’s expression and asked in confusion,” Yue ‘er, what’s wrong?”
Lin Yuelan said,” Xiao Jingrui looked at me just now.”
Jiang Zhennan immediately asked doubtfully,” Could it be that he knows you, Yue ‘er?”
Lin Yuelan shook her head and said,” I don’t know!” After some thought, she said,” I didn’t expect him to be one of the visitors to the Longyan Kingdom this time. Then, when did he arrive? When did Jiang Yunfeng collude with him?”
Jiang Zhennan looked at the team that had already entered the city. To be exact, his sharp eyes stared at Xiao Jingrui and said,
“I heard that the Second Prince of the Black Clouds Kingdom is a resourceful and ruthless person. Moreover, his temperament is unpredictable and difficult to predict! When we fought on the battlefield, we were evenly matched. If he hadn’t lost his military power, with his ability, it would be very difficult for me to drive the Black Clouds Kingdom’s army back! ”
When Lin Yuelan heard this, she smiled and said,” Brother Nan rarely praises someone. It seemed that this Xiao Jingrui was indeed a talent. Unfortunately…”
It was a pity that in the royal family, all his talents were buried in the palace walls of the royal family’s power struggle.
Jiang Zhennan replied,” Yes. He had ambitions, coupled with his resourcefulness and methods. If he were to inherit the throne, then the situation in the world might change drastically! Unfortunately, he still had an elder brother above him. This elder brother was the eldest son and the Crown Prince. He was doted on by the Emperor of Black Clouds Kingdom. Therefore, the Crown Prince’s position was unshakable. Although the Crown Prince was not very talented, he did not make any mistakes. If this Crown Prince did not do anything outrageous, then the position of the Emperor of the Black Clouds Country would be his!”
“So, if he wants to ascend to the throne, he had to kill his father and brother?” Lin Yuelan said with a smile.
Jiang Zhennan only nodded.
Lin Yuelan looked at the two women in the group.” These two princesses are obviously here for a marriage alliance. I wonder which prince will they will choose?”
However, Jiang Zhennan frowned slightly and then let go!
Then, he said,” 1 heard that Xiao Jingyu is also a ruthless woman!”
