Power and Empire Chapter 1797: The Ambition of the People of Central Biya (9)
Following the two burly black-armored warriors, their eyes swept across the golden sunflowers in the summer in the courtyard next to the corridor. In front of the door,
"There is a meeting inside, please wait outside the door!" Two elevated young officers stood outside the door. The black guards handed Xu Dongli to the two imperial staff members and then turned and left. Xu Dong I looked around and looked nervous and excited
He thought he would be imprisoned in a dark dungeon for the rest of his life, rotting and disappearing silently. Apart from his parents, no one remembers the name Xu Dongli in this world. Suddenly, news came from the people of desperation that the barbaric nobleman who imprisoned him was finally willing to see him,
Think about the other person's seemingly stupid face, Xu Dongli knows he can't die, and fat people are generally the best fools among stupid people! After tidying up the sackcloth on his body to make his appearance look more noble, Xu Dongli feels that he is ready to fight for himself and prepare for the battle between China and Bahrain.
I could faintly hear some voices in the room. Xu Dongli lowered his head. In fact, he gathered all his energy and held his breath, just to be able to hear the words inside, but it is a pity No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t understand a single sentence, because China Biya is borderline with Gaul, and it is the most well-known European country. Gaul is also taught in China, especially for foreign affairs. The envoys must undergo assault training for one month.
This is not Gaul! This can be judged from the other party’s jumping pronunciation which is completely different from Gaul
Xu Dongli was shocked in his heart. He always thought that the Gauls were the Obaro people, and the Gaul language family was naturally the main language of Obara. But now I find that I have fallen into the hands of non-Gaulian barbarians, and the preparations I just made show signs of collapse.
What should I do now? Sweat climbed on his forehead,
He knows that he is nominally the mission of the China-Biyadh Empire. In fact, the empire did not take this mission seriously, even if all of them died outside, there would be no reaction in the empire! In the Gaul Empire, the Gauls will not directly kill themselves, but now in countries that are not in the Gaul system, no one can guarantee what will happen
Xu Dongli still remembers when he set off. In the snowy outskirts of the imperial capital, the face hit by the blizzard was so painful, the entire imperial capital came out to send his own people, except for his father-in-law, the imperial chief of internal affairs, Li Chang, no one else,
"The military has already spoken out. Whoever dares to send you off is to be right with the military, so you don't have to wait! No one will come except me"
The white-haired Li Chang handed him the festival that represented the identity of the messenger group, and looked at Xu Dongli with a calm face with twinkling eyes, thinking that this outstanding young man was about to leave his homeland to the enemy's country to seek for the empire. Resources, and the ministers in the empire are hiding like a plague one by one. The eyes of this empire veteran are full of bloodshot eyes!
"Teacher. Among those on behalf of the empire, am I the one who has seen the most miserable number of people to see off in the past!" Xu Dongli, who was determined to take over the battle, was joking with his heart, but looked at with disdain. The imperial capital city wall, which has turned into a dark shadow in the wind and snow, said nonchalantly, "It’s okay if there is no one to send it. Those civil servants who are afraid of generals, even if they come, cringe and look bitter and miserable, they are nothing but I just added a bit of joke that made the generals laugh. It's better not to come!"
"Dongli, I have watched you grow up since I was a child, knowing that you always have to stick to everything until the end, and refuse to give up or compromise. Such a character will hurt you one day! This time on mission Without the support of the military at all, there will be no protection beyond the border. The military does not think that it is possible to easily obtain iron ore resources from the Gauls only by relying on the envoys!" Li Chang took a deep breath and sprayed from his nose. Xu Dongli, who came out of the white mist, glanced at the leaping horse and the whip, turned to the west, and said in a more serious tone
"Remember, if it doesn’t work, come back right away. Hong'er is still waiting for you at home. For young people, it’s not terrible to lose face. The terrible thing is that even their lives are lost, and the future of the empire is not like that. As embarrassing as the report, although most of the iron ore resources in the north have fallen, the surplus of the national treasury can still support more than half a year
"Sending you to Gaul is just an alternate strategy, so don't be too stubborn." Li Chang's voice stopped for a moment. His short white hair stood up like a steel pin, and his aggressive face looked a bit angry." Deeper In the southern mountainous area, the military found new iron ore on the land of the barbarians, but it took more manpower and material resources. After the barbarians in these areas were calmed down, the iron ore would fall into the hands of the empire. The military sent The army of 50,000 square meters from the South. Already on the way to the deep mountains in the south"
"The empire’s civil servants and military attachés quickly became disagreeable. Faced with the issue of iron deficiency, the military chose to take tough measures to **** the land of the southern barbarians, while the civil servants chose the messenger regiment as a flag. Others refused to go. Only you, a stupid idiot, slammed into it. The Chinese Empire and the Gaul Empire have fought for a hundred years, and the short peace is only a strategic compromise. The new emperor of Gaul needs time to survive. After the period of power consolidation, China and Bahia also need a peaceful border, and the surplus forces will be deployed to support the Dongting Empire, which is rising in the north. This is something that both countries know well, and they can keep each other's hands. That’s pretty good. How could it be possible to support the other party, and only someone like you who is full of enthusiasm will believe that this method can be useful"
"How do you know if you don't try it!" Xu Dongli laughed, holding a horse in his hand and riding a horse to the west. The situation in Gaul proved how correct the veteran Li Chang's prediction was.
The Gauls do not welcome the envoys of the Chinese and Byanians. This is obvious. There is no welcome on the street, no flowers, no greetings, but some ignorant children smashed several stones on their bodies and came to receive them. Behind the officials of the mission group were hundreds of murderous Gaul soldiers. They submitted documents requesting iron ore support. There was no information. After learning that the mission group sent there were no major figures from the Chinese Empire, the chief envoy. It was just a figure of the level of a master craftsman, and the enthusiasm of Gaul's reception of officials disappeared like melting ice in midsummer. The standards for the treatment of the messenger group have also been reduced from high to the most inferior.
Previously, I was able to eat a uniquely flavored Gaul meal every three days. Now for half a month, I will give away some dry and cracked bread and bad drinks that I want to vomit. The entourage has a light mouth. He could only go hunting in the suburbs by himself, and ended up breaking into a hunting garden of a wealthy family. The prey was not hit, and the lives of seven entourages were lost. On the land of the enemy country, the lives of the Zhongbian people were worthless, and they died when they died, and there was not even a place to cry. Xu Dongli went to the Emperor of Gaul to sue in grief, but was blocked by the Gaul Guards. He couldn't even enter the palace. Xu Dongli cried loudly and was beaten by several guards.
Wandering outside the Gaul Palace, the look of an embarrassed Sino-Byanese envoy with a disheveled look. Quickly became the laughing stock of the rich and powerful people of Gaul and Kyoto
The Gaul people like to see the centuries-old enemy, Zhongbia, make a fool of himself. First, the nobles watched, and then the Gauls who developed to the general rule also came to watch. If it weren’t for the entourage desperately rescued him, Xu Dongli might become The first Chinese envoy to be killed in Gaul, Xu Dongli received a letter of reprimand from China, saying that his behavior in Gaul Kyoto had lost the face of China. He was asked to return to China immediately to accept punishment. The deep-seated hatred between the two countries still exists. Xu Dongli, who has realized this, decided to abandon his perseverance to stay in Gaul.
He didn't return to his country, but stubbornly chose to continue to the west. He believed that there must be a way to get iron ore. During his time in Gaul, he already knew that there was another powerful country to the west of Gaul. , Falcon Empire. He decided to try his luck.
The meeting broke up when Xu Dongli felt desperate. The three-meter-high gate was pushed open by two tall and strong guards.
Several empire generals filed out from inside, and a strong man with a blindfolded one-eyed dragon looked curiously at Xu Dongli, who was standing outside the door, and appeared interested in his black hair and black eyes. The muddy and white one-eyed, "Oh, it's really black hair and black eyes!" sighed, and there was a terrible feeling that Xu Dongli felt his scalp exploded. He felt that he was in front of this one-eyed brawny man. It's like a little frog nailed to death by a poisonous snake. This feeling is only once in his memory.
That was the night before the departure, the important military minister who came to visit suddenly, the General Longyang, who was in charge of the entire western theater of the empire, gave him the feeling that he had three terrible scars on his face and fought against the Gauls. The 15-year-old General Longyang handed himself a note with a very solemn expression.
Only three words are written on the note, Li Yuehua,
"I hope you can try your best to find this woman, she should be in Gaul Kyoto! After finding it, we only need to send the news back, and we will do the rest!" Facing countless powerful enemies, the military ministers who have never been inferior Clank and iron bones, for the first time he bowed heavily in front of him, "This is my request on behalf of the 70,000 dead empire warriors on the Western Front! As a condition, I can guarantee that, regardless of success or failure, the Gauls dare not go on this mission. How are you doing to you!" General Long Yang's broken face, gritted his teeth, looked like a ghost crawling out of **** under the candlelight.
"You can go in!"
The reminder of the attendant at the door made Xu Dongli awaken from the memory, sweat on his forehead, I don’t know if it’s hot or scared,
Xu Dongli walked into the room pale, and raised his head carefully, trying to find the focus of his eyes. The room in front of him was not as dark as expected, nor was it the ignorant luxury of the barbarians, but a bright light. ,
The sun shines from the huge colorful glass windows that are several meters high. The room is transparent and bright. There are colorful light spots on the ground. On the left is a huge map that occupies half of the wall, and the one on the right. A good-looking woman was collecting papers on the table, her long black hair fell on her waist like a waterfall, she couldn't see her face, but she was definitely a beautiful woman. A young fat man with a simple face and black hair was at the other end. Examining a document on the long desk,
Sure enough, a wretched fellow!
Xu Dongli despised it in his heart. He used to do this before, letting the beautiful female deputy pick up things on the opposite side, and sit in the back and want to see what to see! There is no psychological burden for pleasing the eyes! This guy's appearance of an old **** is too ridiculous, but the maid chose too punctually. The waist is as thin as a willow, and it seems to be able to hold it with one palm. The proportions of the figure are as good as the upper and lower sides. Calabash, I don't know where I got it from. Look at that fat man, look at the file, and see that the corners of his mouth are almost dripping onto it. It's a violent thing!
His eyes flickered, Xu Dongli's raised eyebrows suddenly stopped, and his pupils contracted unconsciously, his eyes fixed on the document in the hands of the fat man who was in a trance. The writing materials used in that document immediately made Xu Dongli feel a little dizzy,
As a craftsman in charge of various skills in the Central and Biyadh Empire, how could he not recognize that the paper is unique to Central and Biya, soft and thin, although the color is not as white as the best loose paper in Central and Biyah? Such as Yuxia. There is still a faint yellow on it, which should be caused by the stems of the grass that have not been completely left by the suppression and filtration, but it is indeed paper. A paper of very sophisticated craftsmanship in China. The paper is officially produced in China. Those with unified manufacturing rights are very particular about the manufacture of paper.
A good piece of paper is absolutely valuable, and the manufacturing process of the paper is kept secret in China and Biya.
Even the Gauls do not use paper, but still use rough leather paper. This is the pride of the people of Central and Biyadh, but it appears here now, that kind of weird feeling. It almost made Xu Dongli think that he was still in China and Biya, not a foreign country thousands of miles away!
"This is the righteous ambassador of the Sino-Byanyan Mission?"
The fat man pretended to drink water, wiped off the saliva from the corner of his mouth in a panic, put down the file, and looked up and down Xu Dongli, who looked a little tranced. He wanted to know how sad he was before he could be beaten. The demi-ren sent to this country thousands of miles away, it is simply to kill someone with a knife!
He made a gesture to Li Yuehua, who had already turned on the other side, and said, "Ask, as a Chinese citizen. Your question is clearer than my question. You ask him if he came to the Falcon Empire. What do you want to do? And you tell him, if he lied to me, I immediately chopped him to feed the dog!"
"Your Majesty" Li Yuehua glanced at the fat man bitterly. Explained, "Because some messengers will regard death as the highest honor to themselves, and their names will be recorded in the annals of history. Unless you want to keep him famous forever, don’t say such things. In Zhongbia, use death. Threatening a diplomatic envoy is very stupid!"
"Good pull, okay, leave it to you! I just want to know the answer." The fat man felt that he was very ignorant, and he almost forgot that the customs of the Chinese and Byanese people are really unusual, as long as they died in the hands of foreigners Diplomats are considered national heroes!
With the authorization of the fat man, Li Yuehua sorted out her uniform with satisfaction, and sat down in a lower position. She was wearing a black adjutant uniform. The beauty and aura of a woman from China and Bahia were matched with a black body. The straight and gilded adjutant uniforms with a gilt edge reveal a cold and proud beauty, just like a rose blooming in the dark, plus her figure is good, with long legs and thin waist, she is simply a model-like superb figure, the fat man took it out A document pretends to see it, but in fact, the eyes are floating and floating, and the Harazi is out. This woman is really a monster. She is used to seeing the beauty of Western women's sculptures, and looking at the soft beauty of Eastern women is quite **
Looking out a folder from the table like magic, Li Yuehua gently opened it indifferently, and glanced at Xu Dongli, who was standing restlessly, since the envoy from China and Bahia came to Gaul last winter. She has already noticed that she may know the details of the other party better than the other party herself. She was planning to get rid of this guy halfway, but Philep stopped the assassination because the Gaul military and the Chinese military Secretly reached an agreement that the Gaul military must ensure the safety of Xu Dongli, the head of the mission, otherwise it would be a joke that Xu Dongli wants to leave Gaul safely!
"Xu Dongli! The craftsman of the Central-Byanian Empire, 31 years old, the closed disciple and son-in-law of Li Chang, the internal affairs officer of the Central-Byanian Empire!" The corner of Li Yuehua's mouth rose slightly, and her voice vibrated in the quiet hall. Seeing Xu Dongli's wicked look~IndoMTL.com~She felt a refreshing smile in her heart,
What I like most is this feeling of controlling the fate of others in secret. It is like a god-like feeling. The desire to control is also a disease. It is this kind of hobby that makes her kick away without regret. The Gaul intelligence agency, which is dwindling to the west, joined the secret spy agency of the Falcon Empire. It gently opened the file in the hand like a professional habit, and the voice was as clear as the morning yellow oriole, saying word by word, "I was ordered to go to Gaul last winter. Gaul refused to negotiate iron ore matters. He appealed to the Gaul Palace because his subordinates were killed. He was beaten by the Gaul Guards. After being rejected, he was ordered to repatriate! My whereabouts are unknown, I don’t know if I’m right!"
"You..."
Xu Dongli felt like he had been stabbed and stabbed a few times. The boss saw blood from the knife, his eyes were open, and he looked at Li Yuehua in amazement. With every word Li Yuehua read, his face turned It's getting paler and paler,
The body trembled slightly, it seemed that the strength and courage of the whole body had been taken away and looked out. I don't know why, he felt that the Chinese woman in front of him seemed to see through himself completely! I am naked, not even a fig leaf!
"Let's talk about it, what are you doing in Falcon Empire!" Li Yuehua's voice turned cold, and the bright eyes under her pretty eyebrows were scary.
