Chapter 204 Hosting a Banquet
Seeing that Bator had already run forward, Dan Qier sighed secretly, got up and walked to Bator, and said to Wang Xiang with a smile, "I never expected to see the famous Marquis Jiayuan once we arrived in Datang, my brother and I I have heard many legends about Marquis Jiayuan in Turkic."

Since the little prince Bator is called his younger brother, she must be Princess Danqier. Wang Xiang bent down and bowed to the two of them. He looked up at Princess Danqier in surprise and said, "Am I famous? Even in the distant Turkic world, there are people talking about me." legend."

Dan Qier said with a smile: "The Great Tang Chamber of Commerce established by the Marquis of Jiayuan is spread all over the countries in the Western Regions, and the Chinatown is even more bustling, and I heard that the Marquis of Jiayuan also performed the immortal method of saving lives in Xizhou. Many people in the Western Regions Marquis Jiayuan has become a godlike figure."

Wang Xiang rubbed his nose in embarrassment: "So I'm so famous..." He was surprised and pleasantly surprised that the Datang Chamber of Commerce has spread all over the Western Regions. It seems that Zhang Kuishan and Ma Wenxin still have real talents.

Everyone felt that the surprise in Wang Xiang's words was speechless for a while, he was really not humble at all.

Bator was obviously more interested in Tie Dan, who was about the same size as Tulu. He pointed to Tie Dan and asked, "I heard that you had a guard who defeated our number one Turkic warrior. Is it this guard?"

Wang Xiang saw Tulu behind Barto with a depressed face and a smile in his heart, smiled and said: "This... is pure luck, pure luck." He was really afraid that Tulu would not be able to suppress the anger in his heart, That's not what he wants to see, and making money with harmony is the business.

"Hmph, I think so too." Bator tilted his head triumphantly and wanted to say something more, but was held back by Princess Danqier next to him, and Princess Danqier glared at him, so Bator reluctantly closed his eyes. mouth.

Wang Xiang naturally saw their small movements. Although the Princess Danqier in front of her was not as gentle and gentle as the Central Plains woman, she had delicate eyebrows, protruding and curling back, and a hint of wildness in her words and deeds. amorous feelings.

"The Marquis of Jiayuan said just now that he was busy with the Dachaohui and the Wanguo Academy these few days. I don't know what the Wanguo Academy is. Could it be the same grand ceremony as the Dachaohui?"

Wang Xiang smiled apologetically and said casually: "The Academy of All Nations is not a grand ceremony, but a school specially set up by the Tang Dynasty for foreigners. In recent days, too many envoys from foreign countries are applying for admission to the Academy of All Nations. I was too busy, so I neglected the little prince and Princess Danqier."

Hearing that many envoys from foreign countries are vying to apply for admission to the Wan Guo Academy, Dan Qier's eyes flashed strangely, and she felt that there must be a reason for it. When she was about to ask more questions, Wang Xiang spoke first: "Everyone came from a long way. Lawton, why don't you go to the fairy tower with me first, let's chat while eating."

Bator had long been thinking about the delicious food of Tang Dynasty, so naturally he had no objection, but not everyone in the Turkic Mission was qualified to attend the feast at the Immortal Tower, except the little prince Bator and Princess Danqier, Tulu and the other two Envoys with high status went to Dengxian Tower with them.

Degui was notified by Wang Xiang earlier that he had prepared a private room. Turkic has been in conflict with Datang, but there is not much contact, so except for Tulu, everyone else came to Datang for the first time, even Tulu The previous time, he was escorted to Chang'an as a prisoner. Naturally, he had no chance or mood to see the prosperity of Chang'an.

The layout and dishes of Dengxian Tower are so luxurious and rich that the common people who have lived in Chang'an for a long time will feel that it is extraordinary, let alone these Turkic people who have hardly seen other food except flatbread and barbecue in their lives.

Although the few people who came to climb the fairy tower were people with status and status in Turkic, their usual food was a little better than other Turkic people, but it was also tedious. The flatbread and jerky were dry and boring, Qiqi couldn't help but take a deep breath when he smelled the strong aroma of hot pot, which made Degui snicker.

"Everyone, please follow me to the private room on the second floor."

After hearing Degui's words, they moved their feet and followed Degui upstairs. Bator frequently turned his head to look at the steaming hot pot in the lobby on the first floor.

After sitting down in the private room on the second floor, everyone swallowed their saliva in unison in front of a table full of delicious dishes.

Wang Xiang stood up and cupped his fists and said: "The time is too short to make more preparations, so I hope you will bear with me."

This is too late to prepare, so what is more preparation...

Wang Xiang greeted, several Turkic aristocrats including Dan Qier all gobbled it up, the Turkic people are tough and not like the Han people who care about all kinds of etiquette, they are naturally not polite when facing a table of delicious food.

The spicy soup seems to be very suitable for the taste of the Turkic people. They eat it very happily, because the Turkic people wear fur clothes in winter, and everyone sweats profusely after eating it.

After enjoying such a delicious meal, most of the resentment caused by the cold treatment outside Yanping Gate disappeared.

Until most of the dishes on the table were wiped out, the momentum of the wind and clouds finally slowed down a little. Only Tie Dan and Tulu were still eating barbecue with big mouthfuls, as if they were going to compete in terms of food intake.

"In the past, I only heard about the delicacies of the Tang Dynasty, but today I know what real delicacies are."

Hearing Danqier's sincere praise, Wang Xiang smiled and said, "Princess Danqier and little prince Barto are satisfied with their meals."

With a large piece of boiled mutton stuffed in his mouth, Barto nodded and said, "Satisfied, the food here is very good."

Dan Qier recalled Wang Xiang's mention of Wan Guo Xue Tang and asked: "I don't know what Jiayuan Hou said about Wan Guo Xue Tang earlier, our mission encountered a little trouble on the way, so I didn't hear about it because it was late. About the school of all nations."

Seeing that Dan Qier took the initiative to ask about the Wan Guo Academy, Wang Xiang was secretly delighted, pretending to be casual and said: "Actually, a foreign envoy proposed to learn the advanced culture and technology of the Tang Dynasty, so His Majesty agreed to set up the Wan Guo Academy exclusively for foreigners to send people." Go in and study."

Dan Qier's eyes lit up when she heard the words, she came to Chang'an this time to find out the details of Datang, and also to find out the news about Tianleizi, Wan Guo Academy seems to be a very good opportunity.

"I wonder if we Turks can send people to study in the Wan Guo Academy?"

Wang Xiang hesitated and said, "This...in principle, it is possible, but the number of places in the Wan Guo Academy is limited, and many envoys from foreign countries have already applied."

"I don't know how to apply for the admission quota of Wan Guo Academy?"

The person who asked the question was a Turkic man who looked a bit old and weak. Wang Xiang had already learned that he was the teacher of the little prince Bator and Princess Danqier when he was in Honglu Temple. His name was Takatayan. Wang Xiang saw His first feeling was that this Turkic old man was not simple.Wang Xiang felt an aura similar to Changsun Wuji's in him.
