Chapter 253 What medicine is sold in the gourd?
On the day before Shangyuan, the Mobei delegation drove into Chongzhou City.
In fact, they had already arrived outside Chongzhou City last night, but there was a curfew in the city, so the delegation had to camp outside the city for one night.
Although they could not enter the city, Xie Yunshan still sent a hundred soldiers to guard the city and asked them to help the delegation set up tents and guard the camp for the Mobei delegation at night.
It can also be regarded as a complete status of a great power.
"Miss, wake up!"
Nianniang put the water for washing face, wet the towel, and gently wiped the little girl's face.
Jiang An was lying on the bed, wearing only his inner clothes, and he turned over with his arms and legs hugging his small quilt.
"Nianniao, is it daybreak yet?"
The little girl, with her eyes slightly opened, said, "It's too early!"
She pulled her head back into the quilt to avoid the sobering towel.
"An An doesn't have to go to school!"
Nianniang: "Today the Mobei delegation is entering the city. Miss said yesterday that she would go with the governor to welcome the delegation."
The little girl got up, with a head like a chicken coop and a wrinkled face, "Why are you here so early..."
"The delegation camped outside the city last night, so they will naturally enter the city earlier."
"General Xie is already waiting for you at the gate..."
"Good."
By the time she reached the gate of the mansion in a daze, swaying from side to side, Xie Yunshan, who was wearing armor on horseback, had a thin layer of snow on his shoulders.
The young general brushed away the snow without much care, and looked helplessly at Jiang An who was obviously not awake yet.
"If you were a little later, you could have asked the Mobei delegation to come and greet us."
The little girl climbed into the carriage, sat down obediently, and yawned, "It's really too early."
It was just dawn that day and An An hadn’t even seen the sun yet!
General Xie: "There is breakfast in the carriage, go and have it."
After he finished speaking to Jiang An, his handsome face turned stern when he turned around.
He just waved his arms and shouted, "Let's go!"
The horse's hooves moved forward, tapping on the bluestone bricks.
Behind him were Jiang An's two carriages, and behind them were two hundred city defenders and two hundred royal guards.
The eldest daughter of the Zhenguo Palace welcomed the delegation, and the scene was quite grand.
This is also the confidence that Jiang Jichen gave to his daughter, so that those blind people would think carefully: if they provoke Jiang An, can they really withstand the prince's wrath?
city gate,
The little girl came out of the carriage, propped up her chin with her hands, and stared at the delegation entering the city with her big eyes.
The first to come in were the city defenders who were leading the way on horseback, followed by a general from Mobei who was escorting the princess, and behind him were more than twenty of his subordinates who were also riding horses.
Behind these people came the princess' carriage. Standing on both sides of the carriage were Princess Mobei's favorite slaves. They were all handsome young men with muscular bodies.
Further behind the team were the carriages of Mobei officials and accompanying students.
The carriage stopped two meters away from Xie Yunshan and others.
The general in the front seemed to be considering whether to dismount...
Xie Yunshan was not in a hurry. The two sides were in a silent stalemate for a moment.
Finally, the burly general's gaze fell on the eye-catching two horse-drawn carriages among the crowd of people coming to welcome the envoys from Nan Shang.
The carriage was luxurious, and the horses pulling it were war horses from the National Protection Army.
Then this little girl should be the rumored eldest daughter of the Zhenguo Palace, Jiang An?
The general looked at Jiang An, and Jiang An was also looking at the general.
She approached Zhengyan, who was driving, and openly made up stories about him.
"Why is this general so stupid?"
"Cough cough cough..."
The governor coughed desperately, and while coughing, he secretly glanced at the expression of General Mobei opposite him.
Wen Shoushi: The wind is so strong, you probably can’t hear it.
General Mo Bei's eyebrows moved slightly.
Seeing that the Southern Merchants Governor's face had turned red from coughing, he waved his hand and gave an order. The deputy general behind him shouted, "Dismount!"
If only the governor and the young general came to greet the delegation, he would definitely sit still on his horse and would not move without the princess's order.
But this little ancestor was also here, in the stately palace of the King of Zheng State. As a general of a foreign country, he did not dare to provoke him casually.
All members of the Mobei delegation dismounted and stood to one side.
The general stepped forward and performed the Mobei salute, "Greetings, young lady."
Jiang An: "General, please get up..."
"Did the trip go well? How is the princess?"
"I haven't seen An An for a year. I miss him so much~"
Then I heard the little girl chattering away.
The general stood up with a frown on his face. He had never heard in Mobei that the princess was on good terms with this young lady.
The Princess of Mobei who was sitting in the carriage was also confused.
Although I don’t know what Jiang An is up to, I still have to make the scene look good.
The delegation has just entered the city and cannot leave any trace of arrogance!
Thinking of this, she raised her voice in the carriage and replied: "This princess is in very good health. Everything went well on this trip. Thank you Miss An An for your concern."
"This...this princess misses you very much too!"
Uh ~
She took advantage of the fact that no one could see into the carriage and rubbed the goose bumps on her arms in disgust.
Xie Yunshan glanced at the little girl who was grinning with her teeth bared, and the smile in his eyes could not be hidden.
He pulled the reins and looked at the general. "The delegation has come to the city after a long journey. I will take you to the post station."
The general returned the greeting, "Thank you very much, young general."
Xie Yunshan rested his hands on the horse, looking leisurely as if nothing mattered to him.
He said slowly: "You're welcome, General. Oh, by the way..."
"My surname is Xie, what is your surname?"
Although his tone was normal, the sharpness in his eyes could not be faked.
The meaning of Xie Yunshan's words was very clear. He wanted the general from Mobei to see his identity clearly. Who was he, Xie Yunshan, and who was he himself?
It's just a vassal state of Cangmo, yet it has the guts to play tricks on General Nanshang!
One person was standing there, and the other was sitting on the horse. It was easy to tell who was taller or shorter.
When the governor Wen Shoushi saw that General Mobei had a grim expression, he pretended not to notice it and was tidying up his official robe when he had nothing to do.
After all, all matters this time were handled by General Xie, and he was just an assistant.
The Mobei princess in the carriage lifted the veil and walked out.
She looked at Xie Yunshan, the girl's face still showing the pampering and nobility of a princess.
He said calmly: "General Xie, you don't know, Harumune is a martial arts fanatic..."
"Haru has long admired the general's heroic performance in the battle between Nan Zhao and the Shang Kingdom."
"He also told me that if I had the honor, I would definitely fight with the general!"
In just two or three sentences, the unpleasantness between the delegation and Nan Shang was transformed into something caused by Haru's own admiration for Xie Yunshan.
It not only gave Xie Yunshan enough face, but also showed that Haru, as a general, only cared about skills and force.
Although this princess is spoiled, she is still very smart.
Xie Yunshan was not interested in deliberately making things difficult for anyone, so he went down the stairs.
"I see. Thank you, Princess, for clearing up this confusion for me, General!"
He looked at the general, Haru, and said, "General Haru, is there any time for a competition?"
Haru replied: "I couldn't ask for more!"
