On the wall of Yanming Pass, Prince Guo and Zhen Heng looked at the dark mass outside the city, and both knew that this was going to be a tough battle.

At this time, a Junggar envoy came from the city to ask for an audience. The man was fat and had big ears. He shouted loudly:

"Hello, I am Kalke, an envoy sent by Jungar Khan Mog. I heard that Prince Guo was coming, so I came to visit him with gifts! Open the city gate and let me in!"

The general guarding the city hesitated whether to open the gate. What if it was a trap? It would be a serious crime.

Prince Guo took out a telescope and looked below the city. Junggar had arranged a total of three envoys, behind which stood a handsome man, about thirty years old. It was obvious that this man had an extraordinary appearance and should be a prominent figure in Junggar.

Zhen Heng arranged swordsmen and axemen to go down from the city wall and guard both sides of the city gate.

Prince Guo asked someone to lower the rope, and he wanted to go down first to see what was going on.

Zhen Heng was worried about the prince's safety, so he arranged for the executioners and volunteered to go down with Prince Guo to find out what was going on.

"No, I am a prince. They dare not do anything to me. You and General Zhong and General Fu must guard the city well!" Prince Guo said, and asked the soldiers on the city to lower him down with a rope.

Soon, Prince Guo came down from the city wall and met with the Dzungar envoy Kharke.

When Prince Guo stood firm on his feet, he took a closer look and discovered that the person standing behind the messenger was none other than the man he and Zhen Huan rescued that day.

"Why is it you? When you were hiding in the capital, I thought you had a good-looking face. You are indeed a spy from the enemy country. I really regret not killing you!" Prince Guo bowed and said angrily.

"Haha, don't say those useless words. It's too late to regret now!" The man laughed, his voice full of contempt.

"Go back and tell the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty that as long as we give Junggar three million taels of silver and the corresponding amount of food every year, our Junggar army of 400,000 will return. If you don't agree, then we'll meet on the battlefield! Within three days, the Junggar army will surely annihilate Yanming Pass and march straight to the capital!"

The man spoke in a loud voice, but his eyes were very firm.

Prince Guo was not angry, but smiled and said:

“What a big tone! Since it’s the messenger’s words, I will naturally convey them.

Our Great Qing is a country of etiquette. It is not appropriate to come empty-handed when we meet for the first time. This is the Seven-tone Treasure Box given to your Khan by the Emperor of the Great Qing. It can produce pleasant and melodious songs with a touch of the hand, comparable to the sounds of nature."

As Prince Guo spoke, he gently pressed the switch of the speaker with his finger, and beautiful music came out.

This is the song "Moonlight over the Lotus Pond" by Phoenix Legend downloaded by Shen Meimei.

"I am like a fish, in your lotus pond, just waiting for you and the bright moonlight. After swimming through four seasons, the lotus flowers are still fragrant, waiting for you in the middle of the water!"

After the song was finished, the Junggar envoy exclaimed, "This is truly the sound of nature, even the most beautiful singing in the tribe cannot compare to it!"

Kalk took the speaker with both hands and thanked him:

"I never thought that the Qing Dynasty is so vast and rich in resources, with so many rare treasures. This envoy would like to thank the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty on behalf of the Khan!"

The conversation between the two sides went very smoothly. Prince Guo made a gesture of invitation and said:

"I am just curious. Isn't your Khan right in front of me? Is this your Khan Mog?"

Mog stopped pretending and took off his soldier's hat and said with a smile:

"You have good eyesight indeed. How did you know that I am Mog?"

Prince Guo said calmly:

"Looking at your posture and temperament, you don't fit in with the two in front! And this messenger uses his eyes to question every time he speaks, so I conclude that you are of a high status!"
