When Shen Bing appeared outside, he always wore the same rattan armor as his personal guards because of safety requirements.

This rattan armor has a mask, once the face is covered and mixed with the guards, basically no one can recognize it.

So until now, only Loulan and the nobles have seen Shen Bing's true face, and the rest of the people are just speculating and guessing.

Thinking of this, Shen Bing couldn't help joking:

"What if Shen Bing has met you before, and he's not a bad old man?"

"Has the princess agreed to marry?"

The worry-free princess replied:

"That also depends on whether he can get into the eyes of this princess!"

Shen Bing stood up and bowed to Princess Wuyou:

"I don't know if this subordinate can get into the eyes of the princess?"

Princess Wuyou said angrily:

"You still think you are a Shenbing soldier?"

"If you are that Shen Bing, it doesn't matter if this princess is married!"

Shen Bing said:

"The princess is serious?"

Princess Wuyou smiled and said:

"So what if it's true? So what if it's not true?"

"You'd better leave quickly, or father..."

Just as the door was kicked open with a "bang", King Qiuci appeared at the door angrily with a group of guards.

Chapter 448 I hate iron but not steel

Princess Wuyou stood up in shock and fear, and called out:

"Father..."

Although Shen Bing couldn't understand the Cypriot language of the Western Regions, he could guess from Princess Wuyou's expression that it was King Kucha.

In addition to the brocade clothes on King Kucha's body, the flat head looks strange.

Only later did Shen Bing know that this was a characteristic of the Kucha Kingdom... In order to show that the nobles were different from the common people, they used wooden shackles to flatten their heads when they were born.

Shen Bing was a little surprised, why Princess Wuyou was not restrained like this even though she was also a nobleman.

King Qiuci glanced at Shen Bing, then snorted coldly with a fierce look in his eyes, turned his head and said to Princess Wuyou:

"Although you have reasons for not marrying the Great General of the Qin State, it doesn't mean that you can continue to communicate with the soldiers of the Qin Army!"

"You are the princess of Qiuci but hang out with soldiers. If this is spread, what will I do in Qiuci?"

It turns out that the class consciousness in Kucha is very strong, and the nobles cannot intermarry with the common people. This is one of the reasons why the nobles want to shackle their heads.

Princess Wuyou replied:

"How does the father know that he is not a nobleman?"

"What's more, even if he is not a nobleman, how can he marry with the appearance of a daughter?"

What Princess Wuyou said was that her head has never been shackle... This is the object of ridicule among the nobles in Kucha.

But she is a princess and said that no one wants it, but it is false.

King Kucha snorted and retorted:

"General Zuo came to propose marriage several times, and Mr. Li Fu also proposed several times for his son. You don't like it, but you just like this soldier?"

"You said that this soldier is a nobleman, but he has no followers or horses, how can he be a nobleman?"

The father and daughter quarreled excruciatingly, and Shen Bing, who couldn't understand what they were saying, could only stand aside in embarrassment in a daze.

Finally, Princess Wuyou turned her head and asked Shen Bing:

"Are you a nobleman?"

Shen Bing originally wanted to show his identity, but after thinking about it, he felt that he couldn't be careless.

At this time, whether Qiuci is an enemy or a friend has not yet been decided. Although Qiuci intends to marry a daughter and marry the Qin army, it is also afraid of the Qin army's force and Shen Bing's strategy.

If King Qiuci knew that Shen Bing fell here alone, who knows what his reaction would be!

Maybe put Shen Bing under house arrest in the country of Qiuci to make the Qin army jealous, and maybe secretly kill Shen Bing so that the Qin army has no leader... Wouldn't Shen Bing lose a lot in this way?

After thinking up to this point, Shen Bing replied:

"Princess Qi, my subordinate is just a cavalry soldier, not a nobleman."

Princess Wuyou turned her head and said to King Qiuci:

"He said that he is a noble official in the Qin army, and he is undoubtedly a nobleman in the Qin country."

This is to deceive King Qiuci that he can't understand the Central Plains dialect.

King Qiuci also knew something about the Qin army's [-] military merit system. He knew that soldiers of the Qin army could be promoted to nobles with military merit, but he didn't doubt it, so the anger on his face eased a little.

In fact, as long as you ask any Qin person casually, you will know that it is basically impossible for ordinary soldiers to be promoted to officials.

Of course, except for Shen Bing.

At this time, Shen Bing has reached the rank of Zuo Shuzhang, four ranks higher than the officials.

Princess Wuyou asked Shen Bing again:

"How many people do you manage?"

Of course, Shen Bing couldn't tell the truth, so he replied:

"The subordinates are hundreds of generals of the Qin army, in charge of 100 people."

Princess Wuyou turned her head to King Kucha and said:

"He is the confidant of Shen Bing, the great general of the Qin State, commanding three thousand cavalry!"

"If the sons of General Zuo and Li Fujun can marry, why can't the nobles of Qin who command three thousand cavalry be married?"

"Father, don't you think that...the nobles of the Qin Kingdom are not as good as my Kucha nobles?"

King Kucha just snorted and asked:

"Is he really Shen Bing's confidant?"

Princess Wuyou babbled nonsense:

"Is that still fake?"

"When I met him, I knew that his status was not low, otherwise how could my daughter fall in love with him!"

"Father, don't worry, after my daughter marries Jia Ming, she will try to persuade Shen Bing..."

However, before Princess Wuyou finished speaking, King Qiuci waved his hand, and a Yueshi businessman stepped forward and said:

"My lord, what the princess said...is not the truth."

"This person is a hundred generals, commanding more than a hundred cavalry. He is neither a nobleman nor Shen Bing's confidant!"

King Kucha looked at Princess Wuyou coldly.

Princess Wuyou obviously didn't expect King Qiuci to have such a move, so she was speechless for a while.

Shen Bing saw that something was wrong with the atmosphere, so he stepped forward and said:

"Jia Ming, a hundred general of the Shenwu Army, has seen the king."

"The general ordered his subordinates to come here to meet the king to discuss the matter of forming an alliance to conquer the Huns."

"The road was blocked by a sandstorm and separated from my subordinates. Fortunately, the princess and his party rescued me so I came here."

"The presents brought by my subordinates were also lost in the sandstorm. Please forgive me for being impolite."

Shen Bing said that for a reason.

The advantage of pretending to be the envoy of the Qin Army is to let the King of Qiuci know that the Qin Army knows that he is in Qiuci. If the King of Qiuci still wants to kill people or harm him, then he must consider whether he can stop the Qin Army. Attacked.

Sure enough, when King Qiuci heard that Shen Bing was the envoy of the Qin army, he immediately became respectful and said:

"Oh, it turned out to be the envoy of Qin, but this king neglected the envoy."

"It's just... Qin Shize just returned to Gushi, why did he send another envoy?"

Shen Bing had already thought of the reason:

"Back to the king."

"The General, Naze is a businessman who doesn't understand the art of war, so he can't solve many problems for the King."

"Yes, this time I sent my subordinates to discuss with the king."

King Kucha said "Oh" and nodded slightly.

Things are indeed as Shen Bing said, although Ze is good at eloquence, he doesn't know anything about the art of war, which also makes many things feel like scratching the surface.

After hesitating for a while, King Kucha asked:

"You really met Princess Wuyou?"

Shen Bing had heard Princess Wuyou roughly explain the reason before, and secretly thought that it is impossible to dismantle Princess Wuyou's platform now.

So he nodded and said:

"To the king."

"The subordinate did know the princess, but... the subordinate didn't know it was the princess at the time."

"Please forgive me if you offend me, Your Majesty."

In fact, what Shen Bing said was not false. Shen Bing did not know that she was a princess at the time, but the time and place were different from Princess Wuyou's lie.

King Qiuci had hoped that this was Princess Wuyou's nonsense before, but hearing Shen Bing say the same, he frowned and said:

"It's getting late, this is the princess' boudoir, the envoy, please go back!"

"It's not too late to discuss the state affairs until tomorrow!"

Shen Bing hurriedly responded, and followed the guards down.

When Shen Bing left, there was another quarrel between Princess Wuyou and King Kucha from behind.

Shen Bing thought it was funny, the King of Kucha was the king of a country, he only needed to act like a king to restrain Princess Wuyou, but he didn't do that.

It can be seen from this that King Kucha played more of a father role than a king when facing Princess Wuyou.

In an instant, Shen Bing understood the meaning in the eyes of King Qiuci and Princess Wuyou when they were arguing... It was clearly a hatred of iron.

Chapter 449 Allied Forces

The next morning, Shen Bing was ordered to go to the imperial study to discuss matters with King Kucha.

To Shen Bing's surprise, Princess Wuyou was also there, as before, she still covered half of her face with a veil and only her eyes were exposed.

She proudly raised her eyebrows at Shen Bing and asked:

"Are you really the envoy of Qin?"

Shen Bing was about to answer, but was stopped by King Qiuci with a glare.

It was only later that Shen Bing found out that the King of Kucha had always been reluctant to contact Shen Bing with Princess Wuyou... The reason is just like what I said before, if the princess married a commoner, especially a soldier from the Qin Kingdom, wouldn't that mean that the Kucha Kingdom would surrender its status? ?

However, discussing the Qin army's alliance with Qiuci and even the Western Regions to conquer the Xiongnu... This should not be known to outsiders, especially Yuezhi businessmen.

So the King of Kucha, who could not understand the language, had to ask Princess Wuyou to do the translation.
