Walking along the long street, there were soldiers leading the way. Although the civil strife had just ended, there was still no murderous look in the city. Chu Huan wanted to see the construction of Qingluo City, but looked around.

Compared with the prosperous cities in the Central Plains, although the restaurants, tea shops, shops and workshops in Qingluo City are also complete, they are much more crude and simple.

Chu Huan followed on the left of Maha Zang, and on the right was the Lord Youzai. This Lord Youzai seemed to be quite interested in Chu Huan. After entering the city, he turned his head several times to look at Chu Huan.

Chu Huan is a person who watches all directions and listens to all directions. Chu Huan naturally knows if Youzai is looking at him. He felt that Mr. Youzai was a little weird, but when Youzai looked over again, he saw Chu Huan was also looking at him, his eyes met, Youzai was a little embarrassed, but Chu Huan nodded and smiled.

Mahazang saw him from the side, and introduced him, "You Zai, this is my sworn brother, his name is Chu Huan!"

"Chu Huan?" You Zai showed surprise, "Are you really Chu Huan?"

Seeing his expression, Chu Huan was rather curious. Before he could speak, Maha Zang asked, "Master Youzai knows Chu Huan?"

You Zai shook his head and said: "It's not that the old minister knows him, but the old minister has indeed heard of the name." He asked, "Eldest prince, this brother Chu, is the deputy envoy of the Great Qin Kingdom?"

"That's right." Maha Zang nodded and said, "You Zai already knows?"

Youzai sighed, and said, "Vice Envoy Chu, you are finally here. Your mission has taken great pains to find you!"

When Chu Huan heard this, he immediately said happily, "Master Youzai, do you know where they are?" He had been looking for Xue Huai'an and Xuanyuan Shengcai, but since they separated in the desert, there had been no news, and he wanted to turn around and let Mo He Zang sent people to help search, but he didn't expect what the Lord You Zai said, that he seemed to know the whereabouts of Xue Huai'an and his party.

Youzai had already stroked his beard and smiled and said, "Vice Envoy Chu, don't worry. They are doing well now, and they are placed in the Bafang Pavilion in Qingluo City. Your mission will send people to look for me almost every day, asking about the whereabouts of Deputy Envoy Chu. I dare not go to see them, but luckily the deputy envoy Chu has arrived, now I can be regarded as safe and sound."

"Bafang Hall?" Chu Huan heard that Xue Huai'an and others were in the city, and he didn't know where Maha Zang was going at this time, so why not go to meet Xue Huai'an now, and immediately said to Maha Zang: "Prince, the rebellion is just flat, You and Lord Youzai still have a lot of important matters to deal with, I wonder if you can send someone to take me to the Bafang Pavilion first?"

Maha Zang escaped because of Princess Gusa, but his heart was not as high-spirited as before. Although he and You Zai attacked at the same time inside and outside, almost wiped out Mahara's power, but there were still many things to do next, reorganizing the tower Rick, conferring meritorious service, conquering the black water, searching for the concubine, appeasing the tribes, many things are also very urgent, so he nodded immediately and said: "Brother, you go to the Bafang Pavilion first, and I will hold a banquet for you in the palace later." Take the wind, you can take a good rest these two days!"

The Bafang Pavilion is a post that occupies a very large area, and its function is to receive envoys from various countries.

Compared with the Tongren Pavilion of the Qin State, the Bafang Pavilion received much more envoys. Dozens of countries in the Western Regions were afraid of Xiliang’s strength and proclaimed their vassals to Xiliang. Every year, they sent envoys to bring a large number of gifts to Xiliang. , and the Bafang Pavilion was also the busiest time at that time.

The Bafang Pavilion is composed of dozens of large courtyards, which are very grand and one of the buildings that Xiliang is proud of. In order to highlight the heritage of Xiliang, each courtyard is carefully designed, with pavilions, pavilions, and nine-turn corridors. Beautiful, this is a face project, and Xiliang also spent a lot of human and financial resources at the beginning.

Mahazang sent a small team to guard Chu Huan and Bai Xiazi to the Bafang Pavilion. There are four gates in the Bafang Temple, and among them is a well-arranged courtyard. Although the name of the museum is Guanyi, it looks like a workshop inside, with criss-crossing roads. When you come to a courtyard, you will see a group of Xiliang soldiers guarding outside the courtyard, armed with long spears and machetes at their waists. armed.

After getting off the horse in front of the door, the soldiers in front of the door immediately raised their spears, and the leader took the token to repel him. Chu Huan then handed the reins of the horse to the white blind man, and entered the door, only to see that the courtyard was also very spacious. Several houses formed a large courtyard, the courtyard was quiet, Chu Huan saw the main house, the door was ajar, went forward and gently opened it, and saw a person lying on a chair with his eyes closed, as if he had fallen asleep It is Xue Huai'an who is envoy of the State of Qin.

Seeing Xue Huai'an here, Chu Huan finally let go of his heart, and walked over lightly. Xue Huai'an didn't notice, tilted his head, and seemed to be sleeping soundly.

Chu Huan coughed twice, Xue Huai'an opened his eyes in a daze, glanced at Chu Huan, ignored him, twisted his body, continued to close his eyes to sleep, suddenly realized, slowly opened his eyes again, and squinted Seeing Chu Huan, he opened his mouth with astonishment on his face, seemed a little disbelieving, rubbed his eyes, saw Chu Huan was smiling and looking at him, suddenly got up, and said in a broken voice: "Chu...Deputy envoy Chu, really...really Is it you?" Wuzi couldn't believe it.

Chu Huan cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Chu Huan has met your lord, how has your lord been?"

Xue Huai'an grabbed Chu Huan's arm and said excitedly: "My God, Master Chu, are you still alive? Thank God, you are finally here...!" It was as if a drowning man was ecstatic when he saw a boat, and tore it away. Chu Huan sat down on that chair, and asked repeatedly: "Master Chu, where have you been? But we were in a hurry." Turning around, he shouted outside: "Where is everyone? Deputy envoy Chu has arrived... !"

Xue Huai'an was not very angry, but the courtyard was very quiet. He shouted at the top of his voice, which quickly alarmed the crowd. There was a sudden commotion in the courtyard, and soon a clear voice said: "My lord, there is Chu Did you hear from the deputy envoy? Where is he?" It was Xuanyuan Sheng who spoke, and soon saw Xuanyuan Sheng enter the room in military uniform, and saw Chu Huan sitting on the chair at first glance. He couldn't believe it, so he sized him up , happily said: "Lord Chu, is it really you?"

At this time, all the officials who were resting in the courtyard had come over one after another. When they entered the house, they were extremely happy to see Chu Huan.

It wasn't that they had much affection for Chu Huan, but that Chu Huan, who was far away in a foreign country and had been missing for a long time, suddenly appeared in front of everyone, and everyone was shocked.

Chu Huan met with everyone and asked about the whereabouts of other people. Xue Huai'an showed displeasure and explained: "We have been here for more than half a month. After entering Qingluo City, all of us have been settled here. The brothers under my command have other arrangements. It doesn’t matter if you come in, and to this day, we haven’t even stepped out of the courtyard gate.”

An official next to him said bitterly: "The Xiliang people are really rude. They are not treating guests here. This is house arrest. Master Chu, can you see that? The outside of this courtyard is guarded by Xiliang soldiers. Can't go out."

Xue Huai'an dissatisfied: "We negotiated with Xiliang officials, but they didn't intend to negotiate a peace at all. We asked them to send someone to look for you, and they agreed. Deputy envoy, did they find you?"

Chu Huan immediately gave a general account of what happened after the dispersal, without mentioning Mei Niang, only said that he lost his way in the desert, met Qi Luo, walked out of the desert, and went to Zhuo Yan's department, and then what happened I was forced to get involved in the civil strife in Xiliang. Now that Maha Zang defeated Mahara, I went to Beijing with Maha Zang.

He just picked up what he could say, but he didn't mention anything about Ruo Mei Niang and Ghost Master.

Hearing about the Black Mountain battle, all the officials showed excitement on their faces, and Xuanyuan Sheng said happily: "No wonder the Xiliang people took the initiative to ask for peace. It turns out that such a big incident happened here in the old nest. They are dog-eat-dog, which is of great benefit to me, Daqin. This time, their vitality was seriously injured and they were unable to look eastward, Xiao Tianwen couldn't hold on, so he must retreat."

Xue Huai'an also said happily: "This time, Xiliang's elites have suffered serious losses, internal chaos, and great damage to their vitality. They will never be able to use troops against my Daqin in a short period of time. My Daqin takes this opportunity to prepare well. In the future, Xiliang's iron cavalry wants to fight again. It is extremely difficult to set foot on the land of our Great Qin."

The originally deserted inn was bustling with Chu Huan because of Chu Huan's arrival. Everyone talked for a while, but the room was too crowded. Xue Huai'an pushed everyone away, leaving only Xuanyuan Shengcai. The three sat down, Xue Huai'an said: "Chu Huai'an Deputy envoy, with such a change in Xiliang, can the peace talks continue? What do the people of Xiliang mean if we are not allowed to leave the courtyard?"

"My lord, don't worry. There was an accident in Qingluo City just now. The whole city is under martial law. It is understandable that you are not allowed to go out." Chu Huan said with a smile: "Now that the major event has been decided, it will be fine if you think about it." He added: "If there is a peace negotiation, the matter is very important, so naturally we still need to talk about it."

Xue Huai'an said: "If we want peace talks, we have to marry their princess back, but our country's princess has to be sent to Xiliang too. There is internal turmoil in Xiliang, and we have too much time to take care of ourselves. Is it necessary for us to send the princess to Xiliang?"

Xuanyuan Shengcai said: "Everyone must keep their promises, let alone a country? Since the two countries have agreed to make peace, we can't break the promise and unilaterally break the contract."

Xue Huai'an nodded slightly, and said again: "Vice Envoy Chu, since you are acquainted with Maha Zang, it is better for you to come forward and let Xiliang send people over to negotiate earlier." He showed distress, "This Xiliang country, we I really can't stay here any longer. We are a dignified Daqin mission, but Xiliang people are very negligent. They don't even have a cook from the Central Plains here. They eat mutton with a fishy smell and drink nai with a sao. Liquor, we got things done earlier and left this place of right and wrong."

Chu Huan pondered for a while before saying: "Leaving is of course the way to go. It's just that the civil strife in Xiliang has just been resolved. Now the state affairs in Xiliang should be governed by Maha Zang. He is in a hurry to deal with domestic affairs. I'm afraid he won't be able to do so for a while. Discuss with us when you have time." He said softly: "The Holy Majesty also told you to understand the situation of Xiliang as much as possible. Later, we will negotiate with Xiliang, and you can walk around Qingluo City at will, and then you can have a good understanding of it. Qingluo City is gone."

"These Xiliang people, no matter they are men or women, all have a smell of mutton." Xue Huai'an sighed, "Vice Envoy Chu, have you heard that even this posthouse seems to have a smell of mutton everywhere, I have been here like a year. You see, I have only been here for more than half a month, and I have lost a lot of weight. When I saw their meals, not only did I lose my appetite, but I felt like vomiting."

Chu Huan knew that Xue Huai'an was well-clothed and well-fed in the state of Qin, and he had suffered a great crime this time as an envoy. After looking carefully, he really lost a lot of weight. He was about to speak when he heard a voice from outside: "Chu Huan Is your lord here? Gusa Heiyun, the great ceremony official in Xiliang, begs to see you!"

When Chu Huan and the others went out to look around, they saw a black-robed Xiliang official standing in the middle of the yard, and brought a group of people in. They were carrying several large boxes, which looked very heavy.

This Gusa Heiyun was an acquaintance with Mahazang when he was envoy to Qin State, Chu Huan cupped his hands, "Qin State Deputy Envoy Chu Huan, what advice does the Chief Ritual Officer have?" But he thought in his heart: "This person His name is Gusa Heiyun, he seems to be from the Gusa tribe, and he is of the same clan as Princess Gusa, why was he not arrested and imprisoned? Could it be that he is not of the same clan as Princess Gusa?"
