History of Yongwu

In the early morning of the next day, Qin Yu and Wang Meng went to Huyan Palace, met Huyantai at the gate of the palace, saluted each other, and entered the palace together.

In the main hall, King Huyan was not there. The people from Huyanjin and Gaitu had already sat down, and everyone was waiting in the hall. After a while, Huyandu and He Shu came in. Wang Meng and Qin Yu, who squinted at the side, snorted coldly. He sat down on the left with a bang.After about half a cup of tea, King Huyan arrived, and everyone hurriedly got up to salute.

"Sit down." King Huyan sat down and said.

As soon as everyone sat down, Wang Meng got up and came to the hall, cupping his hands and said, "The king asked us to come today, but he has already made a decision."

"yes"

King Huyan looked at Huyanjin and Huyandu in the hall. They were looking at Wang Meng and sneered. Only Huyantai was sitting on his seat looking at him with a calm face.

King Huyan nodded secretly, and said with a serious face, "This king has decided to stop fighting with Dayong and trade goods."

"what!"

"Father!"

He Shu got up and knelt down, "Your Majesty, this move will do harm but no benefit."

"My lord, how can Gai Tu be worthy of the Hu warriors?" Gai Tu also knelt down.

"What are you going to do? Is it up to you or me to decide on this Huyan City?" King Huyan stood up and looked coldly at the people kneeling on the throne, and said in a cold tone, "Stop fighting, Huren warriors will no longer sacrifice. , Which warrior refuses to accept, Gai Tu, you tell him to come to their king in person, unless they don't want to recognize me as the king. Trade goods, the Hu people have more food, money and goods, what harm is there? I think the harm is you"

King Huyan suddenly changed his mind and was so angry that everyone in the hall fell silent for a while.King Huyan looked at the crowd with satisfaction, pulled out the saber from his waist, and cut off the corner of the table with a wave.

"Dayong Huyan made a good relationship, and there are people who oppose it, just like this table"

Wang Meng was stunned for a moment, shocked, he didn't expect King Huyan to change so completely, so he quickly bowed to salute.

"Your Majesty is so sincere, I believe His Majesty and King Jin must be very moved. I will thank you for your lord here first, and I will return to Xuancheng immediately to tell you that the two countries have signed an alliance. Your Majesty is also welcome to send envoys to Xuancheng. My lord. Be sure to treat him like a guest”

King Huyan returned to his friendly demeanor, and said with a smile, "The envoy of Dayong is not in a hurry. I haven't seen the scenery of the king's city yet, so I will let Xiaosi entertain you on behalf of the king, and I am not in a hurry to return later."

"Thank you my lord" Wang Meng thanked

"Yes, father." Hu Yantai also saluted.

After leaving the palace, Qin Yu and Wang Meng went directly back to the post house. As soon as they entered the room, Wang Meng said excitedly, "My lord and the others actually agreed. That's great. How did the change happen so quickly?"

Qin Yu looked at him and smiled, "It should be that Hu Yantai made it clear to King Huyan, and King Huyan must have been stimulated by his son, so he was so decisive."

"My lord is still smart, so I knew we could succeed," Wang Meng said flatteringly.

Qin Yu squinted at him, "Didn't you say every day that this king is going to die here? The way you celebrate your success is really special!"

Wang Meng blushed, lowered his head and whispered, "I'm not worried about your safety?"

Qin Yu didn't bother to argue with him, waved his hand and said, "Okay, it's good, let's rest quickly, Huyantai will invite us to a dinner later."

At dinner time, Hu Yantai sent someone to pick them up to the mansion, they talked and laughed during the dinner, and the dinner went smoothly.In the next few days, Hu Yantai took them to see everything they could eat, play and see in Wangcheng. After a few days of tossing around, Qin Yu and the others finally wanted to go back.

The day before his departure, Qin Yu was sitting in his room reading a book. Wang Meng taught him a few days of nonsense, and he half-understood it.

"Report" the guard came in with an invitation in his hand, "Prince Huyan sent the invitation"

Wang Meng was packing his luggage. Hearing this, he got up and took it, opened it, glanced at it and said, "My lord, this is for you."

Qin Yu looked at him puzzled and asked, "What?"

"Look, you are only invited on the invitation card," Wang Meng said while handing over the invitation card.

: Farewell to the tavern in Xicheng, looking forward to your demeanor, specially prepared Bojiu to invite Brother Wen to hunt outside the city, I hope you will arrive as scheduled, Hu Yantai respectfully.

This is so strange, he is just an envoy and guard, Hu Yantai is a prince, why condescend to invite him, besides bypassing the envoy and directly sending invitations, it is not proper to invite a guard, this Hu Yantai is so familiar with Han etiquette, You shouldn't be ignorant of this.

"My lord, why did he only invite you? Are you familiar with Hu Yantai?" Wang Meng asked worriedly.

Qin Yu shook his head and said, "I'm not familiar with you, I just met once alone, and the rest are all together?"

"Then why did he invite the prince? He must have no good intentions. The prince still doesn't want to go." Wang Meng's cautious energy came back, and he quickly persuaded him.

"The two countries are talking about peace now. What can happen? I'm going back to Xuancheng tomorrow, so don't make any trouble." He asked the guard who delivered the letter, "Is the carriage downstairs?"

"Yes, my lord"

Qin Yu got up and changed his clothes, and said to Wang Meng, "I will come back as soon as I go. You should stay at the post house and don't make trouble." After finishing speaking, he went out and got on the carriage.

The carriage walked slowly towards the western suburbs, and stopped not far from the city. The servant driving the carriage lifted the door curtain, "Master Messenger, we have arrived."

Qin Yu got out of the carriage and looked from a distance, Hu Yantai was riding on the horse, looking towards him, seeing himself getting off the carriage, he rode over immediately.

"Brother Wen, don't come here without any problems. Once you leave the tavern, you promise to talk about it another day. Xiao Wang has been thinking about it all the time, and dare not break his promise." Hu Yantai said with a smile when he approached.

"It's a great honor for Your Highness to entertain you." Although Qin Yu felt strange, he still saluted politely. He didn't believe that Hu Yantai remembered such kind words.

Hu Yantai looked at Qin Yu's calm look, smiled, pulled him on the horse, and galloped to the hunting ground ahead.

The vastness of the grassland is different from other places. Riding a horse and looking far away will make people lose their way, and it can also make people feel proud, and they can't help but want to keep galloping.

Ahead, a stag, startled by the sound of horseshoes, fled at high speed. It ran over with its strong four hooves, and the grass clippings flew. to stop.

With a high-pitched neighing from the war horse, Qin Yu pulled the reins vigorously, twisted his body and drew the bow, the bowstring was fully stretched, and the arrow feathers flew across like shooting stars, piercing the deer's neck with puffs.

"Good arrow skills!" Hu Yantai also pulled the reins and stopped in place.

"If it weren't for this river, I'm afraid I would have lost my prey." Qin Yu smiled, turned around and said, "Your Highness is absurd."

"Landun River runs across Hudi, it seems that this water is the blessed land of Brother Wen," Hu Yantai joked.

Hehe Qin Yu smiled, and didn't say much, Huyantai glanced at him, and galloped away with his whip. The two of them galloped for a while before returning to the vicinity of Huyan City.

"Hush" Hu Yantai lightly pulled the reins, slowly slowed down, and said casually, "It's a pity that Brother Wen will go back tomorrow, otherwise we can have more discussions."

In the sky, the setting sun was setting, Qin Yu was fascinated by the sunset, and replied casually, "If you don't dislike it, your highness will come to Xuancheng in the future, and I will do my best as a landlord."

"Brother Wen means, I will definitely go to Xuancheng." Hu Yantai looked at Qin Yu and said.He is indeed going to Xuancheng, and today his father has told him that he is going to send him as an envoy to Dayong to discuss trade matters.

Qin Yu came back to his senses, and said indifferently, "The two countries are in business, I think His Highness will come to Xuancheng sometime." After finishing speaking, he pulled the reins and galloped away from the high platform in front of him.

Hu Yantai stared at Qin Yu's back for a long time. This person must be lying, and his tone was clearly determined. This Wen guard is definitely not an ordinary person. He invited him alone. The envoy was not surprised, and he did not send anyone to follow. Don't worry. Let him come alone, which shows his weight.

On the high platform, stood a stone pillar, engraved with Hu Wen, Qin Yu couldn't quite recognize it, his eyes turned upward, and above it was carved a majestic war horse with its front hooves raised, and immediately stood a general, dressed in traditional Hu people's clothes. Wearing a military uniform, holding a scimitar in his right hand, pointing forward, with a bold and unrestrained aura, Qin Yu can imagine how convinced the soldiers following him are.

"This is Huyanlie, the ancestor of the Huyan tribe." Huyantai suddenly stood aside and said.

"Huyanlie" Qin Yu muttered and looked away.

"800 years ago, he unified the Hu people, conquered from east to west and established the Huyan Kingdom with a vast territory. At that time, the Hu people did not fight each other, but gathered together to fight against the enemy under the banner of their ancestors." Hu Yantai took a step forward, pressing his palm on the pillar "It is said that under his rule, the Hu people had ample food and clothing, flocks of cattle and sheep, and every town in Hudi was as prosperous as Huyan City"

Qin Yu turned his head to look at him, Huyantai's eyes were full of nostalgia and longing for the glory of the past, for a moment he clearly saw Huyantai's ambition, but Huyantai's compassionate and warm heart made him admire again, Hu Yantai loves this land deeply.

If this person owns this piece of land, it will be the biggest disaster for Dayong!

"Your Highness, don't yearn too much for the past." Qin Yu's sharp eyes pierced people's hearts like a cold blade, "Isn't there only Hu Yanlie in His Highness's heart?"

Hu Yantai was stunned, and when he realized that Qin Yu was already behind him, he turned his horse's head sharply and looked at him fiercely. Most heroes are afraid of people spying on their intentions, and Hu Yantai is not surprised.

He almost subconsciously pulled out the arrow feathers behind him, whoosh!The arrow feathers whizzed out with the wind.

Riding the horse and walking slowly, Qin Yu still has respect in his heart. As a child of the royal family, he is naturally loyal to Dayong, but he himself is not like Hu Yantai, who loves Dayong deeply and dedicates his life.

call out!The arrow feathers passed by his temple, hitting a gray rabbit right in front of him. Qin Yu stared at the dead rabbit, his brows twitched fiercely, horrified in his heart, this rabbit came running from another direction, just hit the dead rabbit If the arrow hits, then this arrow should be himself.

Hu Yantai lowered his arm, and when the arrow shot across Qin Yu's side, he couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief. At that moment, he really wanted to kill Qin Yu, but he gave up at the last moment.

At the moment when his murderous intentions arose, Hu Yantai suddenly hesitated. After this person died, wouldn't there be no one in the world who knew him? As soon as his thoughts stopped, he unconsciously shifted his direction.

With the intention to kill, why let it go?Qin Yu restrained his thoughts, and slowly stepped forward to pick up the prey, "Your Highness is good with arrows." He rode his horse and walked up to Hu Yantai.

Hu Yantai looked at him, there was nothing strange about the other party, and he even smiled, "Brother Wen is also very courageous"

Qin Yu and Hu Yantai looked at each other and smiled, keeping everything in mind, and rode back to the camp. Hu Yantai said to him, "Brother Wen, come to my house for a drink."

After experiencing the arrow just now, Qin Yu simply let it go, saying, "Naturally, His Highness will not return if you are not drunk."

Huyantai Mansion

Putting down the wine glass, Qin Yu sat there and paused, exclaiming, "Good wine!"

"Haha" Hu Yantai laughed, looked at him and said, "This wine is very strong, it's rare that Brother Wen likes it"

"Spirited wine, BMW, who in the world doesn't like it?" Qin Yu leaned on the chair and looked at him with raised eyebrows.

"That's right, you can make great achievements immediately with a sword, and all the men in the world are crazy about it."

"Haha, Your Highness is a generalization." Qin Yu waved his hands and said, "Your Highness is so ambitious, I feel inferior to myself."

Picking up the wine glass again, Qin Yu enjoyed Hu Di's singing and dancing. Unlike the Han dancers, Hu Di's singing and dancing had a special flavor, and there was a bold and unrestrained spirit in the dancing.

Extravagance!Hu Yantai finally understood why he thought this guard was strange at the beginning, because he was different from the real guards, he had a natural nobleness.

"Your Highness seems to have a good understanding of Han culture, and this place seems to be different from most Hu people's residences," Qin Yu said, looking around.

"My mother died when I was young, and my youngest son's father didn't care about me, so I learned from a Han master, but the Hu people's riding and shooting are commonplace," Hu Yantai replied casually.

"Your Highness is too modest." Qin Yu respected him.

Hu Yantai rewarded Qin Yu with a glass of wine, and said with a smile, "Brother Wen is extraordinary in riding and shooting, he has extensive knowledge and records, and can be called an all-rounder in civil and military affairs."

Just as Qin Yu wanted to compliment him back, Hu Yantai looked at him and said, "Forgive Xiao Wang, Brother Wen is not like a guard."

After what happened in the hunting ground just now, Qin Yu understood that he must reveal something, put down his wine glass lightly, and looked at Hu Yantai with a smile, feeling a little emotional.

"My ancestors were also people who made marquises and ministers, but in my father's generation, my father passed away early, and my family was in decline. I was supported by my grandfather's colleagues in the old days, so I got a position in the northern border army. ashamed"

"So that's the case, no wonder Brother Wen is such a hero, so he is also from a famous family." Hu Yantai said, but he didn't believe it at all, but he didn't continue to ask.

After drinking a banquet until the moon was in the sky, it was true that he was not drunk and would not return. Qin Yu fell asleep on the bed when he returned to the posthouse.

city ​​gate

Just as Qin Yu and Wang Meng got into the carriage, there was a sound of horseshoes in the city. Hu Yantai jumped off the horse, stepped forward and said loudly, "Brother Wen, stay a step!"

Frowning slightly, Qin Yu got out of the car, stood in front of him and saluted "Your Highness"

"Hehe, Brother Wen left so quickly." Hu Yantai suddenly took his hand, and said very kindly, "Xiao Wang prepared a few jars of yesterday's wine and gave them to Brother Wen."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Qin Yu looked at the wine jar being carried into the car, and said apologetically, "Wen is not prepared to return the gift, I am ashamed."

"Brother Wen, you are too polite." Hu Yantai took his hand, sent him to stand beside the carriage and said, "You and I will meet in Xuancheng, and Brother Wen will invite me to have a drink together."

"Definitely, definitely." Qin Yu withdrew his hand, saluted him and said goodbye.

Hu Yantai stood where he was, and waved at the carriage, until he could no longer see the shadow of the carriage, then he calmed down, turned and left.

On the carriage, Wang Meng looked at His Royal Highness Prince Jin with strange eyes, "My lord, what did you do yesterday, when did he get so close to you?"

Qin Yu looked at Wang Meng's eyes, teasing with some indescribable meaning, kicked him angrily, and knocked his fan hard on the head.

"What kind of eyes do you have? He is clearly planning to frame this king, you idiot"

What look in my eyes?Afraid that you are a guilty conscience, Wang Meng rubbed his head, looked at King Jin and asked, "Design?"

"A barbarian prince treats me and a bodyguard so sympathetically, and makes him a confidant. When we return to Xuancheng and see King Jin, will someone report it? Will King Jin suspect me?" Qin Yu looked out of the window angrily. answer.

Wang Meng was probably stunned by the beating, and he replied indiscriminately, "But aren't you the King of Jin?"

Sure enough, Qin Yu kicked him with hatred and said, "He doesn't know, but luckily I am the King of Jin."

The carriage wobbled towards the south, Qin Yu looked at Huyan City that was gradually going away, and felt a little uneasy for a while, now that it was too late for Dayong to change people, he would not cause big trouble for Dayong.
