Beginning to become the second ancestor

Chapter 618 Chapter 616 Disparity in Identity
The Western Xia Mission lives in the reception house of Honglu Temple, which is also the place to receive foreign guests. This time they have been here for more than ten days, but they have not received a positive reply from Yuan Hyuk. Naturally, Some impatient.

The reception hall of Honglu Temple was very large and elegantly furnished. Song Yuanxuan's carriage stopped, Luo Yan raised the curtain, and he got out of the carriage slowly.

In fact, he already had some understanding of the Xixia mission in his heart. This time, there were five people in total, and the leader was Chu Yin, who was also a member of the royal family and was named king. He was regarded as Chu Qingshan's distant uncle.

In addition to the five people, they also brought with them [-] Xixia warriors, all of whom were powerful, and they were all placed in the guest house of Honglu Temple.

In the courtyard of Nuo Da, a large group of officials stood there, and the white snow among the surrounding treetops had not yet melted. Against the background, the scenery was picturesque.

"I have seen the prince!" All the officials of Honglu Temple, big and small, saluted at the same time.

The five people in the middle also quickly saluted. The leading one was about 60 years old, with beard and hair all stretched out, extremely sturdy, wearing a black robe, and stretched his body, he looked like Kong Wuli.

"Chu Yin, the envoy of the next kingdom, has met King Wen Yi." The old man raised his voice, full of air.

Song Yuanxuan returned a salute: "There is no need to be too polite. This time, the Xixia mission is respected by the prince of Chu. The emperor has basically agreed to the terms of the peace negotiation. It is good to let Su Shangshu come to sign the agreement later."

"Thank you, my lord!" Chu Yin was overjoyed, and after paying a big gift, he changed the subject: "My lord, I don't know Princess Yourong..."

"Princess Yourong is currently a guest in this king's territory, so I won't be able to go back in a short time. When she has lived enough, this king will take her to Xixia to have a look."

Song Yuanxuan's face was calm, but Chu Yin frowned. As the princess of Xixia, Chu Yourong represented the face of a country. If she didn't go back, it would be inappropriate after all.

"My lord, we are willing to exchange 200 million taels of silver for the princess. The princess has a high prestige in our Xixia, so the people in the country miss her very much, and I hope the lord will make it happen."

Chu Yin raised her voice, staring at Song Yuanxuan with burning eyes, with a bit of longing in her eyes.

Song Yuanxuan was not moved, shrugged his shoulders, and said calmly: "My lord, Princess Yourong lives very comfortably in Li County, if you are worried, you can go to Li County to have a look.

Apart from that, she has nothing uncomfortable, and we will find time to go back to Xixia in the coming year, and I also want to see the Lord of Chu. "

Chu Yin was silent for a moment, then nodded and said: "In this case, then everything will be arranged by the prince. I will not go to Li County. This is not in line with etiquette. I wonder if I can see you?"

"I'll let her come to the capital once in these two days, the lord just wait a few days." Song Yuanxuan replied, Chu Yin didn't seem to give up if he didn't see Chu Yourong, so he still had to let her come once.

Everyone in the Xixia mission breathed a sigh of relief. The war with Dazhou can be ended through peace talks, which is the best situation at present.

Even if Xixia suffers some losses because of this, it is better than being destroyed. Being able to maintain the previous state is a face-to-face meeting for Xixia.

"My lord, we have prepared a feast here, and the beef and mutton brought by the lord Chu from Xixia, why don't you go back after having a meal with us?" an official of Honglu Temple said softly.

Song Yuanxuan took a look at the official uniform on him, it was dark red, this person was the minister of Honglu Temple, he looked very familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.

"Who are you, have we met before?" Song Yuanxuan asked.

The official gritted his teeth, and then said softly: "My subordinate, Xue Sanyou, used to be the Minister of Dali Temple."

Song Yuanxuan was startled, and then he remembered that this person seemed to have a son-in-law named Ling Yunchang, who had been the young minister of Dali Temple, but was expelled by Xie Yun later, and also went to Honglu Temple to serve as a young minister.

"It turned out to be Lord Xue, so Ling Yunchang is here too?" Song Yuanxuan glanced around a few times, with a bit of playfulness.

Xue Sanyou hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Yun Chang is not here. He has been entertaining distinguished guests from Western Xia these few days. He has no manners. The officials are afraid that they will offend the distinguished guests, so let him rest at home."

Song Yuanxuan nodded, this can be regarded as his former opponent, but now he can only bow his head in front of him, without any thought of resistance, this is only because of the huge difference in status.

"I'll leave the matter of entertaining Prince Chu to you. I won't be eating here. Su Shangshu should come over to sign the letter of credence in person in the afternoon. This matter is considered complete."

Song Yuanxuan said softly, without looking at Xue Sanyou, then saluted Chu Yin who was on the side, and slowly turned and left.

Chu Yin chased after him for a few steps, and when he was in front of him, he lowered his voice and said, "Thank you, my lord, for this peace negotiation. I happened to bring some special products from Xixia, and I will deliver them to the lord's mansion in a while. Take it."

"Then thank you, Prince Chu!" Song Yuanxuan arched his hands, with a slight smile in his eyes.

After leaving Honglu Temple, Song Yuanxuan went to Yuanxuan Village, but this time he came back, he has not been to Zhuangzi yet.

The village is very busy, almost all the customers have come back, Zhao Ziluo is arranging for people to dry the peppers, when he saw Song Yuanxuan, he saluted quickly: "I have seen the master!"

"The master is back!" "It's been a long time since I saw the master!" "I heard that the young master has also been born. This is a great joy for our palace."

A famous farmer said loudly, Song Yuanxuan smiled lightly, and then raised his voice: "Everyone has worked hard during this time, Shushan will not come back for the time being, and will live in Li County.

When the Chinese New Year comes, Ziluo will give everyone an extra five taels of silver, and everyone will continue to plant some crops in the coming year, just keep the farm with peace of mind. "

Everyone responded at the same time, Song Yuanxuan clasped his fists, and then walked into the main hall, followed by Zhao Ziluo, and said softly: "Master, there is news from the Shibo Division, that there happened to be a ship coming from overseas recently. The merchant ship seems to be carrying the kind of crop that the master wants, some kind of sweet potato."

Song Yuanxuan was stunned, and then said happily: "There are really sweet potatoes? That's great, you can have someone bring them back later to have a look."

"Master, the things have been brought over by the people from the Shibo Department. They are in the front hall. I haven't looked at them yet." Zhao Ziluo responded.

Song Yuanxuan hurriedly said: "Let's go, let's go and have a look together."

There were three big bags in the front hall, Zhao Ziluo opened them and took a look, inside were long strips, not too big, but Song Yuanxuan was overjoyed, they were indeed sweet potatoes.

Moreover, this kind of sweet potato is red-fleshed and very sweet. Song Yuanxuan nodded and said: "It is indeed what I want. I keep one bag here, and the other two bags will be sent to Li County in the next two days."

While talking, he talked to Zhao Ziluo about the planting skills of sweet potatoes, which need to be sprouted first, and then the sweet potato seedlings that grow out will be planted.

Having said that, Zhao Ziluo immediately understood that since this stuff grows in the ground, it is a little troublesome to put it away, but its advantage is that it has a large yield, it is easy to satisfy hunger, and it can also resist hunger. It can be said to be an excellent dry food.

What's more, this stuff is dried sweet potato after drying, which is very sweet, and it doesn't taste as hard to swallow as ordinary dry food. This can be regarded as solving a big problem.
