“The people of Rouran will forever be grateful for Pushe’s great kindness. All along, Rouran had tried to befriend Daliang and the previous dynasty. They had also made similar requests, but they were all rejected. No one helped them.
The envoy did not dare to pat his chest and guarantee success on this trip.
Anakui was also hugging…What if it worked?
He had given up his sister to Daliang and had previously sent troops to help Daliang. This was all that could be considered a bargaining chip. However, everyone knew that a deal was a deal. It was not as if he had not received any benefits.
However, it worked this time. The emperor had officially agreed to send craftsmen and doctors over. This was a clear signal that Daliang and Rouran had established an alliance.
In the future, even if they were to face East Wu and West Wu, they would be a
big bargaining chip.
The Rouran envoy understood that this powerful Xie Pushe could not possibly
not understand.
Xie Xian lowered his head and smiled faintly.” Envoy, you are too serious.”
The Rouran envoy couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air when he saw the most natural side of this gesture. In the past, Xie Xian was only a servant who had a high position and power and had to be fawned on. Just his appearance alone was truly stunning.
Even though he was a man, he couldn’t help but praise her beauty.
.. In his eyes, the Ninth Princess had swung around but failed to hit Xie Pushe. Then, they could not be afraid of Xiao Baoxin’s valiant reputation. After all, it was not that the ninth princess had never set her eyes on the prince consort of Daliang Country. It was just that she did not manage to snatch him away.
That’s purely because he’s blind.
Ever since he found out that Zhuge Fu, the good friend of the Rouran people, had secretly married their ninth princess as his second wife and then avoided meeting her, this Rouran envoy had never disliked someone so much.
The Xie family1 s ox-cart had always been the most luxurious. They had no intention of showing off their wealth. They just wanted to make it as comfortable as possible. It was not a problem for four people to sit in the spacious ox-cart. Tea and snacks were prepared, and the ox-cart was even fragrant.
To put it bluntly, the envoy of Rouran had never enjoyed it before.
Not to mention the luxurious life in Jiankang City, it was simply a paradise on earth. If someone extended an olive branch to him and asked him to stay in Jiankang City to serve Daliang, he would be more than happy to do so. Unfortunately, perhaps he wasn’t a very talented person, but no one showed such signs.
The poor are poor and have no way to survive.
“When we do things for others, we only want to have a clear conscience. Since they were officials, whether it was for the people or for their own ambitions, they naturally did their best. The envoy’s trip was also to consider the lives of the Rouran people in the future. Although Rouran people are not the common people of Daliang, everyone in the world knows that it is hard to raise the common people and it is also hard to lose the common people. The people inside and outside are suffering. If I can make more people live better lives within my ability, why not?”
“There are some words that don’t need to be said too much. Perhaps no one would believe it.”
“Since that’s the case, just make sure you have no regrets.”
The Rouran envoys repeatedly agreed. However, he was the only one who knew how much he believed.
“.. It was just that the Emperor was concerned about Princess Linhai. The princess married because of the friendship between Daliang and Rouran. Unexpectedly, Rouran was in chaos as soon as she married. Previously, the envoy had also handed in Princess Linhai’s letter and learned that the princess was well. However, the Emperor and the Princess were family after all. The Princess had married thousands of miles away, so it was inevitable that she would have to ask the Rouran King to take care of her. As long as there was a slight mistake, it would be good if Rouran King could be more tolerant.”
At this point, the envoy heard the sound.
Nothing else, she was consolidating the status of Princess Linhai. She was just a substitute princess. Who didn’t know that she was chosen from the palace maids? It was all fake, but they took it seriously.
Especially now that Princess Linhai was not just a princess by marriage, she was also a symbolic figure.
If the Rouran King wanted to be on good terms with Daliang for generations, he would have to support this person well, let alone make any mistakes.
As for Xie Xian’s treatment of Rouran, he knew everything that happened in Northern Wu like the back of his hand. The envoy of Rouran did not have any doubts about Princess Linhai.
He was usually in the Rouran King’s backyard, and he had a few maids and servants by his side. It was even more impossible for him to pass on the news. He did not have the conditions.
“Princess is now my Rouran Princess Consort. My king has always loved her dearly. Please rest assured about this, emperor. It’s just…” The envoy hesitated for a moment. He did not know if he should say it. Since he came to Jiankang, no one had cared about this problem.
“That… Before the county lord of Yiyang could enter Rouran, she had a miscarriage due to the long journey and died of massive bleeding.” “Back then, the matter was urgent, and my king did not dare to delay on the road. Even if he was heartbroken, he could only bury the county head in a foreign land.”As the Rouran envoy spoke, he looked at Xie Pushe’s expression.
He didn’t even blink.
So, was it within expectations, or was it just an unimportant matter?
The envoy did not know, but he still had to say it.
“This time, under the king’s orders, I will bring the county head’s coffin back to Rouran along with it. I will also be buried as a secondary consort to show my friendship with Daliang and the deep friendship I have with Yiyang County
Head.”
“The King of Rouran is a man of affection.”
He did not say anything else.
Accident?
Of course, he was not surprised. Princess Linhai had received Emperor Yong Ping1 s order to kill Yiyang County Lord on the way. He had received the news immediately.
Emperor Yong Ping only thought that this Princess Lin Hai was the most suitable palace maid selected from the layers, but these layers were all under Xie Xian’s control, and the ones chosen were naturally the ones he liked.
To kill his aunt, Xie Xian could only say that he was indeed a piece of material to be an Emperor.
He was vicious and merciless, without any hesitation.
Yiyang County Lord originally had a relationship with him. Emperor Yong Ping had personally issued a verbal order, so Xie Xian naturally watched from the sidelines and did not have the intention of appearing in front of the curtain. The mantis stalks the cicada, playing with the heartbeat.
Yiyang County Lord, the high and mighty Princess Anji, had walked all the way to the end of the road. It was all her doing step by step. She could not blame anyone. In fact, she should have known that this day would come when her scandal in Jiankang City spread and she took the risk to elope with Anakui to Rouran. How could the Emperor of Daliang tolerate the marriage of a county head who had tarnished the dignity of the royal family?
The Rouran envoy estimated that Xie Xian would have something to say after saying some irrelevant words. In the end, Xie Xian didn’t give him any extra instructions even after sending him back to the posthouse.
They were all asking about Roman’s customs and chatting about their daily lives.
He was stunned.
“In the future, I’m afraid it will be difficult to see Pushe again. What other instructions does Pushe have?”
Xie Xian pondered for a moment.” Whether it’s the doctors or the craftsmen who went to Rouran this time, it’s true that they offered a lot of money to lure them. They also shouldered the responsibility of conveying friendliness to Rouran. However, he was thousands of miles away from home after all, and it was very likely that he would never return in his life. He hoped that Rouran would treat him well. If there were people who missed their homeland, they hoped that the Rouran King would let them go after five years.”
