Conquer all worlds starting from the mythical Three Kingdoms
Chapter 609: Qingting’s Strength
After finishing their work, the group continued to move towards Luoyang at a leisurely pace, estimating that they would arrive in Luoyang in a few days.
However, halfway through the journey, a stern army of more than 500 soldiers escorted several carriages and slowly moved towards the envoys' defense line.
"alert!"
When Liu Jin, the commander of the Sky Patrol Guard, saw such a convoy from afar, he became alert. After all, the murderous aura from the other side was too terrifying.
Even within the Ming Dynasty, he rarely saw an army with such momentum.
What's more, among the other group of people, it seemed that several of them had their internal energy leaving their bodies.
Although he knew that his family was a member of the envoy group, Liu Jin still took precautions at the first moment.
While Liu Jin was on guard, the convoy was also on guard against Liu Jin and his team. After all, normally, the equipment standards of Xinghan were unified, and it was obvious that those on guard on the opposite side were not their people.
Although they could vaguely see the figures of their own people, when the other party was on guard, they immediately became alert as well.
"General Liu, what happened?"
Li Shi, who was sitting in the frame, opened his eyes and asked when he heard the sound of dense armor colliding.
"A convoy appeared behind us, and I just ordered the soldiers to be on alert." Liu Jin answered Li Shi's question calmly.
"General Liu, don't be so alert. We are an envoy group. It's just a convoy that makes you so alert."
Li Shi said with a smile, then opened the car window and looked back. In an instant, he no longer felt that there was anything wrong with Liu Jin's vigilance.
Although Li Shi's strength is not that great, he also understands military affairs, and the army behind him gives people a really terrifying feeling.
It’s like seeing a ferocious beast. Even if you know it’s impossible for it to rush over and bite you, you will still unconsciously become nervous when you see it. This is because of the sense of crisis of life itself.
"General Zhou, what happened?" Dong Bai asked curiously.
Throughout the journey, no one dared to intercept her carriage. After all, her guards were too tough. There were at least ten adult dragons with internal energy separated from their bodies, plus five hundred emperor guards who had reached the third level of talent. It was impossible for any individual to dare to intercept her carriage.
As for those who are capable of intercepting her, the mere sight of the chariot symbolizing the Emperor is enough for them to retreat.
"Don't worry, Queen. We'll fix it right away!"
As Dong Bai's dragon guards, ten adult dragons immediately displayed their strength and pressed towards Liu Jin fiercely.
Dong Bai, who was crowned as the Queen of Dragon Clan for solving the problem of dragon reproduction and breeding, had just returned from an inspection in the Kushan Himalayas. She came to see the impact of the new environment on the dragon clan after their move.
As Xinghan’s only air combat corps at present, Mu Yi attaches great importance to it, so he specially sent someone to take Dong Bai to deal with it.
This time, not only Liu Jin was uneasy, but also Li Shi who was riding in the car, and even Xi Zhicai who was resting with his eyes closed. This kind of momentum... ten internal energies leaving the body?
"Make a bigger noise, don't lose face for the Ming Dynasty!"
Li Shi frowned, not sure if this was a show of strength from Xinghan, but as envoys from the Ming Dynasty, they represented the dignity of the Ming Dynasty.
After hearing this, Liu Jin immediately unfolded his legion talent, and even the momentum of his internal energy breaking through the realms bloomed. The momentum of the guards beside him also condensed together and rose a lot.
"Oops!"
After feeling Liu Jin's aura, Zhou Tai, who was Dong Bai's bodyguard, frowned and burst out with his own aura. The emperor's guards beside him also burst out with aura, which instantly suppressed the aura of Liu Jin and others.
"One world-breaking expert, ten people with inner energy leaving their bodies, and five hundred and three talented elites. Who are they escorting?"
Li Shi instantly realized that they might have hit a wall. Within the Ming Empire, even the monarchs and princes of the Ming Dynasty might not have guards of this scale.
Feeling the momentum bursting out from both sides, Xi Zhicai hurriedly walked out of the carriage, glanced at the carriage of the guards on the opposite side, and immediately turned his head and said to Li Shi.
"Ming Envoy, please stop immediately and do not hit the royal carriage!"
"Stop the car! I want to see whose car frame it is that dares to block my car frame!" Dong Bai on the other side felt the momentum from the opposite side and immediately walked out of the car frame.
Zhou Tai hesitated a little, but still stopped the carriage. All the soldiers quickly formed a formation to guard the carriage in the center, and then stared at the carriage of Li Shi and others. As long as there was any unusual movement on the opposite side, they would immediately take action.
While Xi Zhicai was explaining to Li Shi, he suddenly felt something was wrong. The feeling of being targeted was like a thorn in the back.
Both sides surrounded their own car frames, and then the others stared at each other solemnly without taking any action. However, since Dong Bai stopped the car, the tension between the two sides was no joke.
"And who dares to block my carriage?"
Dong Bai walked out of the carriage and asked coldly. As the queen of the dragon clan for many days, she had a royal aura, which, combined with the might of the surrounding giant dragons, made people awe-inspiring.
After this question, Liu Jin and Li Shi suddenly felt something was wrong. The identity of the other party did not seem simple. Logically speaking, they were the ones who were impolite first.
Upon hearing this, Xi Zhicai hurriedly walked out from the guards and bowed respectfully in the direction of Dong Bai.
"Former governor of Jizhou, counselor under the command of Cao Cao, King of Wei, Xi Zhicai has met Lady Dong Bai!"
Dong Bai frowned when she heard this. She didn't know Xi Zhicai, but she knew Cao Cao. She had heard of Cao Cao's reputation when she was at Hulao Pass.
"Cao Mengde's men? Why are they blocking my carriage?"
Dong Bai also knew the news that Cao Cao was named King of Wei, but she didn't understand why Xi Zhicai brought people to block her carriage, and questioned him in a rather unfriendly tone.
"Your Majesty, I am under the order of King Wei to escort a delegation of Ming envoys to Luoyang to meet the Emperor! The delegation did not know it was Your Majesty's carriage and bumped into Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will forgive them!" Xi Zhicai said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"The envoys?" Dong Bai frowned.
"That's true." Xi Zhicai said.
"In that case, make way!"
Dong Bai glanced in the direction of the envoys and then returned to his carriage.
Seeing this, Li Shi hurriedly ordered to lower their guard and make way. Zhou Tai and his group were no longer on guard and moved forward again at a leisurely pace.
"The carriage of the royal family's queen? It's so impressive, and with such strong guards, this Xinghan is really not simple!"
Li Shi looked at the car frame passing by them and thought silently in his heart.
Liu Jin stared at Zhou Tai with his whole body tense. He didn't notice him because he was far away just now, but when he got closer, he found that Zhou Tai was an advanced cultivator. At such a close distance, he might be able to kill him with three punches.
"This is just a glimpse of the whole thing, this Xinghan is really extraordinary!"
Li Shi and Liu Jin looked at each other at the same time, conveying the same message. They both realized that they might have a big harvest this time.
They are not afraid that Xinghan is strong, they are afraid that Xinghan is not strong enough.
To be honest, their delegation also included craftsmen such as Master Gongshu in order to judge Xinghan's strength as comprehensively as possible, and to find out what Xinghan lacks as a bargaining chip for a mutually beneficial alliance.
After all, they needed Xinghan to contain the Qing court's harassment of the Mongols, and it would be impossible to do so without bleeding, so they specially sent a group of envoys to assess Xinghan's power.
Now, even before arriving at the capital of Xinghan, they can already be sure that the Xinghan Empire is at least not weaker than the Qing court.
On the other side, Mu Yi withdrew his gaze. What was happening near Luoyang could not be hidden from his perception.
As soon as Dong Bai started to show his momentum, he sensed something and cast his gaze, witnessing the entire process of the confrontation.
"The Ming Dynasty envoys!" Mu Yi tapped the table in front of him.
"Since Daming wants to see it, let them see it more realistically!"
After a brief thought, Mu Yi decided to let the Ming Dynasty envoys take a detailed tour.
Only when you know yourself and the enemy can you fight without danger.
The Ming Dynasty and the Mongols were too vague for them. Too many parts of Wang Baobao's memory had been erased. Perhaps this time they could get this information from the Ming Dynasty.
"Send a message to Jia Wenhe, have him go and accompany him in person!"
"Also, in seven days, you will publicly receive the Ming envoys in the court!"
Following Mu Yi's order, Jia Xu personally accompanied the delegation to observe in Luoyang City for a few days.
"Can we have an audience with him in three days?"
Li Shi bowed respectfully to Jia Xu in front of him. After a few days of contact, he was deeply impressed by the wisdom of this wise man.
Moreover, the other party held a very high official position. With his company, they saw the prosperity of Luoyang, a prosperity that was different from that of the Ming Dynasty.
Compared with the Ming Dynasty, which seemed to have no room for repairs, many things here are under construction, exuding vitality.
"If you have any other needs, please feel free to ask. I will do my best to solve them!" Jia Xu bowed and said. During this trip, he obtained a lot of information, which was very valuable to Xinghan.
We also had a deeper understanding of the situations of the Mongols, the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, and understood more about the demands of the Ming Dynasty. Both sides were very satisfied.
Three days passed quickly. The Ming Dynasty's envoys learned the etiquette and taboos of Xinghan.
Then, as the morning bell rang, the Ming envoy finally finished everything and came to meet Mu Yi with gifts.
Of course, some common treasures have already been delivered to the treasury, and those that can be presented in court are rare treasures.
For example, there are ribbons that can float on the water, and gems that can promote the cultivation of internal energy. In short, as an empire spanning several realms, the Ming Dynasty has treasures of very high quality.
The moment Li Shi and Liu Jin walked into the court, they felt a strong pressure. It was not the pressure emitted by the military generals, but the instinctive suppression of outsiders by the imperial will and the world will.
The feeling, as deep as the ocean, as if he was meeting his own emperor, instantly made Li Shi dispel many of his little thoughts.
The court meeting briefly reported on the recent situation, which was also the fixed procedure of the court meeting. Li Shi lowered his head and silently recorded this information. Although it was only a few words, maybe they could use it in the future.
At least these days, he has determined one thing from just a few words and rumors among the people, that is, Xinghan has just completed the unification of the entire world.
Combined with what they knew about Cao Wei and Sun Wu, they could be sure of one thing: Xinghan was an empire that actively expanded outward, which was very important for the Ming Dynasty.
There are basically no major problems on the government affairs side, it's basically just going through the procedures. Everyone knows that the highlight of today is the Ming Dynasty's envoys.
After the long gift list was read out, everyone focused their attention on Li Shi.
Although he felt a lot of pressure, Li Shi still took a step forward and spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.
"Li Shi, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, greets His Majesty the Emperor!"
"What is the matter with the Ming envoy coming here?"
Mu Yi's voice sounded like the mighty power of heaven to Li Shi's ears, and he felt extremely nervous.
"I have come here specially to present the letter of credence. May the Ming Dynasty and Xinghan be friends forever!" Li Shi stepped forward and said respectfully.
"Present the credentials!"
Mu Yi nodded, prepared to leave the letter of credence behind, and then draft a new letter for the other party to take back and sign.
This kind of letter of credence is basically just a formality. It is signed to show that both parties have established diplomatic relations, but it actually has no substantive content.
However, even if the process is useless, you still have to go through it.
After submitting the letter of credence, Li Shi took a deep breath. The process was completed, and the next step was the big one.
"Your Majesty, our emperor asked us to come to Xinghan. In addition to submitting the letter of credence and contacting Xinghan, he also hopes to form a military alliance with Xinghan to fight against the Mongol Empire and the Qing Empire together!"
Li Shi spoke word by word, afraid of saying a wrong word.
"The Mongol Empire has our Great Ming to fight against, and your country only needs to fight against the Qing Empire. I heard that the Qing Empire had a war with Xinghan, and I think Xinghan must hate the Qing Empire very much. Our country is willing to hand over all the intelligence at hand to your country. I sincerely ask the emperor to agree to this proposal!"
Li Shi put forward the proposal directly, which was also his biggest mission here this time.
"Tell me about the strength of the Qing court!"
Jia Xu immediately stood up and said that he wanted to hear some practical information first. Although he had learned a lot from working with the delegation these days, he had not obtained any intelligence about the Qing court at all.
Li Shi then briefly described the Ming intelligence investigation into the Qing court.
"There are nine military soul legions, twelve three-talent legions? And hundreds of thousands of Royal Guard legions? The population exceeds 700 million, and the number of troops exceeds 10 million?"
When this number came out, everyone including Jia Xu felt it was a bit absurd and caused an uproar. This strength sounded a bit bad.
"No, what I mean is that at least, we have not clearly explored the other side's specific military strength. What is certain is that the Qing Dynasty was also a huge empire that unified the world." Li Shi emphasized.
