"Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from General Zhao Chao and General Gongsun!" Yan Yan could not rest when he returned to the palace. Mo Ya sent an urgent report from the border as soon as he returned.

Yan Yan received the secret message. This urgent report was of a very high level. Not even Mo Ya had the authority to check the translation.

"Go down!" Yan Yan waved his hand to Mo Ya to leave, and he arranged the translation of the emergency report.

"What does Mao Dun want to do?" Yan Yan looked at the translated emergency report.

Zhao Chao and Gongsun Nu sent a secret report that Mao Dun secretly left the Xiongnu court with fifty soldiers and came towards the Beiye royal court.

By the time Zhao Chao and Gongsun Nu found out, Mao Dun should have entered the hinterland of Bingzhou, and might even have arrived around Beiye Royal Court.

Because Mao Dun led too few men, and they were all elite cavalry, Zhao Chao and Gongsun Nu were unable to stop them, let alone catch up with them.

Yan Yan did not have any doubts about Mo Dun's ability to escape from the surveillance of the army's scouts and the spies of the Jinyi Guards. After all, Mo Dun was a ruthless man who was able to escape from the Great Yuezhi Royal Court.

As for counter-reconnaissance, Mao Dun has rich experience.

There are only a few people with him, so it is not difficult to avoid Bingzhou's eyes and ears.

But what Yan Yan was confused about was, what was Mao Dun doing in Bingzhou?
If they wanted to attack Bingzhou by surprise, then Mao Dun would bring too few people, and according to the intelligence from Zhao Chao and Gongsun Nu, the Xiongnu army did not move abnormally.

"Mo Crow!" Yan Yan thought for a moment and called Mo Crow in again.

"The Great Chanyu of the Xiongnu has arrived in Bingzhou. Go and find out where he has been and who he has come into contact with. This is their information." Yan Yan sent the secret report back to Zhao Chao and Gongsun Nu about the whereabouts of Mao Dun. Handed it to Mo Crow.

Mo Ya was shocked that Mao Dun actually entered Bingzhou. As the commander of the Jin Yiwei, he didn't get any information beforehand. This was a serious dereliction of duty.

But seeing that Yan Yan didn't pursue the matter, Mo Ya breathed a sigh of relief.

Yan Yan never thought of punishing Mo Ya. Bingzhou was vast and sparsely populated, and Mao Dun had Mingdi Guards with him. There was no need to enter an inhabited town, and Bingzhou was not like a place with developed postal communication like the Central Plains. There were strangers there. When people enter and want to pass on information, there will be a lag of about three to five days.

By the time Jin Yiwei found out, Mao Dun had already arrived at the Beiye Royal Court.

This also reminded Yan Yan that Bingzhou's relay system should be improved as soon as possible, but in this way, the integration of villages and villages became a big deal.

"Here!" Mo Ya took the secret message and left directly. Although Yan Yan didn't say anything, this kind of thing cannot be done again, otherwise the king will definitely doubt his ability.

Bingzhou doesn't support idle people. If he can't do it, there are plenty of people who can do it.

An intelligence agency like Jinyiwei is different from other government agencies in that people here are not allowed in or out.

Because they know too much, it is very difficult to leave alive.

In the early morning of the next day, Mo Ya stood guard outside the palace door and glared at the living officer.

"You don't need to sleep?" Mo Ya is most confused about how there are so many living staff, why does he meet this guy every time he is on duty, and he doesn't need to sleep?

"You have been beaten by your Majesty!" the living officer said expressionlessly.

Mo Ya is speechless, can you say something else? It’s the same sentence every time!
"Your Majesty invites you." Nong Yu opened the door of the palace and invited Mo Ya in.

The living officers also followed in. As living officers, they could come and go around the king at will, and no one dared to stop him. "You came here early in the morning. What did you find?" Yan Yan frowned when he saw Mo Ya.

"Mo Dun is here!" Mo Ya said directly. It wasn't that they found out, but that Mo Dun didn't hide his whereabouts at all. After he got the task, before he left the city to check, he saw Mao Dun calling at the gate. Pause a line.

Because he was a great chanyu of the Huns, the gatekeeper generals did not dare to open the door, but Mao Dun did not lead many people, so he did not attack them. However, he still took Mao Dun and his party to the military camp for custody, waiting for the ceremony to make a decision.

Dianqing also immediately reported it to him. He didn't know why it came from Modu, but he didn't dare to let Modu run around, so Dianqing personally took care of Modu and had someone report to the palace.

Moreover, Mao Dun did not come empty-handed. He also brought exquisite gold and jade products, saying that they were intended as gifts for Yan Yan's wedding.

"He's not afraid of death?" Yan Yan was surprised.

Mao Dun and he wanted to kill each other, and both knew it well. Now Mao Dun actually dared to come alone, and still came to Bingzhou's lair.

"Then let's meet him and see what he wants to do!" Yan Yan decided to meet Mao Dun.

Mo Ya left again and went to the military camp in person. Together with Dianqing, he brought Mo Dun to the Bingzhou Palace, but Mo Dun was the only one there.

"In just a few years, I didn't expect Bingzhou to have developed to this point!" Moton was shocked in his heart.

He had also been to the Beiye Royal Court. When he came here, it was still deserted, but he did not expect that in just a few years, such a majestic city would be built here.

This made Modu somewhat restless. It was the same development, but he didn't expect the same start. The other party's development had already left him dozens of blocks behind.

Asking himself, Mao Dun was thinking that even if there was no obstruction in the two years before Bingzhou, given the same time and the same starting from scratch, would he be able to achieve this point?
the answer is negative.

Mao Dun even had the desire to no longer compete with Bingzhou.

"Please Shanyu wash up first, and then meet with the last general!" Jianqing asked the eunuch to take Maodun to wash up.

Washing up was just an excuse, the real purpose was to thoroughly check whether Mo Dun had any weapons on him that could threaten Yan Yan's safety.

Of course, Mao Dun's body was also pickled, so it was not suitable for him to meet their lord.

Although they were built on the grassland, they were still in China, and their etiquette was very important. Naturally, they would not tolerate such a breach of etiquette before the emperor.

After changing the water three times, Mao Dun finally put on the clothes prepared for him.

"As expected of the Central Plains!" Mao Dun looked at the gorgeous brocade clothes and was reluctant to change them. He had no intention of changing them again, so he bought a royal uniform for free.

"On the sixth day of the first lunar month of the first year of Beiye, the king saw the Xiongnu chanyu Maodun in the school administration hall." The living officer waited until Maodun came to see him and then decisively recorded it. This was a big event. The two kings met.

However, adhering to the historian's philosophy, the living officer made modifications.

"On the sixth day of the first lunar month of the first year, the Xiongnu Chanyu Maodun paid an audience to the king in the school administration hall." There is just one more word, which reverses the word order, but the meaning is completely different.

If two kings meet, then the word "meet" is enough, but the word "mei" is different. Who is "mei"? It was an audience used by courtiers who asked to see the king and were received by the king.

This also means that even the living officials have their own love and hatred. By default, the Huns also belong to Bingzhou, and the status of Maodun, the Shanyu, is lower than that of Yan Yan.
