one's door

Chapter 375
Zhou Cang came to Baimashi in full armor and waited early. Behind him was a battalion of elite generals. Almost all of these soldiers had survived from the dead in the previous military battle. It can be called an "elite", even if it is not as good as those of the forbidden army, it is not far behind.

In addition, Zhou Cang had originally fifty cavalry in his hand, plus the other fifty cavalry newly assigned to him the day before yesterday, a total of one hundred, all brought here.

The big flag behind him was one more than usual, it was the ceremony flag of Nanyuan Kingdom.At the same time, there were several officials from the Ministry of Officials who came here four days in advance and said they were cooperating.

Everyone in the Western Army hated the Yaozu, including Zhou Cang who had not joined the Western Army for a long time.So even though there was an order from above, when he received the task of participating in the defense of the demon envoys, although he didn't say anything, he was reluctant in his heart.

The agreed time is coming, and the sound of wheels can be heard in the distance opposite the White Horse Stone.The outpost had already scouted around Baimashi, and came back soon to report that the other party was coming.

"Huh? A tiger-headed monster? It seems to be very old." Zhou Cang has seen many strange-looking monsters, including the tiger-headed monster many times.But this is the first time he has seen such an old Yaozu.

The lifespan of the monster race fluctuates greatly, unlike the human race, which is almost at the same level.According to different ethnic groups, some of them have an average life span of only about 30 years, some of them are 70 to [-] years, and some of them are hundreds of years old.

And based on Zhou Cang's current understanding, he could tell from the robe on the tiger-headed old man that this monster clan was not only an envoy this time, but also a high priest under the tent of the king of Haoyue Monster Kingdom!

According to the analogy of titles, the High Priest of Haoyue Yao Country is equivalent to the chief official of the Yamen Department in Nanyuan Country, which is an extremely high title.

In addition, there is a guard team of up to 300 people in the Yaozu who are traveling with them, which are all powerful monster soldiers and generals who have fought against Zhou Cang before.The aura of many of them can overwhelm Zhou Cang.There are no weak ones.

If they were replaced by other soldiers at this time, they would probably be bluffed by the barbed aura of the Yaozu.But instead of being afraid, the soldiers behind Zhou stared provocatively at the opposite side.It's not that they haven't been stained with the blood of the monster race, so who is afraid of whom?
"White Horse Shijun Tunpian General Zhou Cang has been waiting here for a long time, and please come across to show your identity, don't cross the line at will!"

Although it was said that he was here to "defend", Zhou Cang's face was still guarded.The soldiers behind him also unsheathed their swords and leaned forward with their guns.This has almost become their instinctive reaction when they see the monster race.No, you don't need to see it, it will be like this when you smell the smell of Yaozu.

The tiger-headed old man waved his hand, and a subordinate who was also wearing a tiger's head came over with a document, on which was the national seal of the Haoyue Yao Kingdom, and an endorsement of his identity.

"Zakharon?"

"Hehe, this General Zhou, although your pronunciation is ridiculous, but I am the envoy of Haoyue Kingdom on the document."

He turned his head and glanced at the officials of the Ministry of Rites beside him. The latter understood, and accompanied by several soldiers, he walked up to Zaharon and began to make positive contacts.

After almost a stick of incense, the contact was completed, and Nanyuan Kingdom took the initiative to open the border to the Yaozu for the first time, and welcomed the other party's envoys.

In order to avoid accidents caused by more contact between the army and the Yaozu, the whole process of communication was done by two officials from the Ministry of Rites.Along the way, there were several cavalry squadrons under the banner of patrolling, but actually came and threatened the demon missions.In the end, the mission of the Yaozu finally arrived at the foot of Baishi City, accompanied by the malice of the Western Army all the way.

And the news that the envoys of the monster clan came was sent back to Yuanding Imperial City first.

Yang Sheng had just finished his birthday banquet this year, and at the same time he was happily purging those white-eyed wolves in Nanyuan Kingdom.Before all those white-eyed wolves were escorted back to the imperial city, the news of the entry of the Xiyuan county monster race came.

There was Guoxin before.Yang Sheng's attitude is that although there is no precedent, there are still some guesses, so let's let it in and listen to the other party's plan.

However, it was supposed to be a month's journey, but it took a full month and a half to reach Yuanding because of the Yaozu.A group of 300 people were uniformly arranged to live in a manor in Yuanding City.Surrounded by three full battalions of forbidden troops, there are patrols day and night.It is said to be protection, but it is actually surveillance.There may be white-eyed wolves in Nanyuan Kingdom who fawn on foreigners, but those fawning on definitely do not include the monster race.For the monster race, the human race is hostile from top to bottom.

This is the first time Yang Sheng has seen Yaozu.The tall body is more than a foot taller than him. It has the shape of a human but has a tail, and the head is the shape of a beast. The whole body has fur.As depicted in the book, it is a beast walking upright.

In addition, Nazhaharon belongs to the Tiger Clan, the second largest clan in Haoyue Demon Kingdom.And the Tiger Clan also enjoys a very high status in the Haoyue Demon Kingdom, and the position of the High Priest is also at the top with real power.The Yaozu in this position personally acted as envoys, which also made Yang Sheng ponder for a long time.Looking at it this way, Yaozu also attaches great importance to this mission.

Yang Sheng didn't intend to entertain these monsters with good food and comfortable living.The food is all rough tea and light rice, with very little oil and meat.On the night of arriving in the imperial city, the three chief and adjutant officers of the Yamen of the Ministry of War met with Zaharon in the Yamen and had the first round of negotiations.It was also from the other party's mouth that the main purpose of Yaozu's visit this time was learned.

As guessed by Nanyuan Kingdom, the Yaozu really came for Xiyuan County.It's just that the appetite is a little more than expected.

In Yang Sheng's hand was the copper bar that the head of the Yamen of the Ministry of War had just sent over. The first sentence on it read: Yaozu hopes to gain control of the entire Xiyuan County.

If you really can't grab it, then use other methods.Now he came directly to the door.

However, if they asked for it empty-handedly, the Yamen of the Ministry of War would not send the note to Yang Sheng, and they would directly order these shameless monsters to be driven back.If it can be sent to Yang Sheng, it means that the matter is not simple, and the Yamen of the Ministry of War cannot make up its mind, so Yang Sheng needs to make a decision himself.

There was no expression on Yang Sheng's face, but the way he paced around in the study was enough to show that he was not at peace.The copper bar in his hand was pulled tightly by him, and he would unfold it to take a look from time to time.

Yaozu can also be regarded as clear about the chariots and horses.What they want is the land in Xiyuan County.But not for nothing.Promises can be exchanged in two ways.Either it can be replaced by land of the same size in Haoyue Yao Kingdom opposite Yubei Mountain.Or they can also help Nanyuan Kingdom take over the land of Beiwu Kingdom, which also borders them, in exchange.And you can swear in the name of their demon gods that no matter what kind of exchange, Haoyue Demon Kingdom will never initiate war against Nanyuan Kingdom again.

Replacement is not considered by Nanyuan Nation.Xiyuan County is doing well, why should it be replaced with Yaozu?My brain is not flooded again.What really made Yang Sheng difficult was the second choice: taking Beiwu Kingdom in exchange.
