Something big had happened in the capital of the Chen Nation recently.
It was a top priority for the upper echelons and aristocrats of the Chen Nation.
The princess of Dayao was sent to the Chen Nation as an envoy.
Women in this world didn't have much status. Apart from marriage, it was unheard of for a princess to go on a diplomatic mission. However, with the presence of the empress and the fact that the empress only had one son, even though it was strange for a princess to go on a diplomatic mission, it wasn't unacceptable.
Furthermore, it wasn't a secret that the princess was one of the top experts in the world.
She was born with the strength of an Earth Wheel expert. She was only 17 years old, but she was already a Cardinal Heaven expert, which was equivalent to a Spirit Wheel expert.
She would be one of the top experts in any country and could even meet the king.
Coupled with her status as a princess and the strength of Dayao, it went without saying that the Chen Nation attached great importance to this.
The commoners probably didn't have much to do with it, and most of them didn't even care. All they thought about every day was how to fill their stomachs. Most people didn't leave a radius of 150 kilometers from birth to death, so they naturally didn't know anything about Dayao.
Of course, it wasn't that they didn't know anything. At least, the various utensils that Dayao sold were very expensive, such as mirrors, glass, porcelain, spices, clocks, and cars …
Although it was rare, cars could still be seen in the capital of the Chen Nation.
Nothing represented the status of the rich and the aristocrats better than these things.
Unlike the ordinary people in Dayao who could drive tractors everywhere, the high cost of sending caravans to buy diesel and transport it back made it difficult for anyone except the truly rich to afford it.
However, it was precisely because of this that cars were more sought after.
The rarer something was, the better it was. Only the rarest and most expensive cars were the best.
Moreover, a trip with these things would at least attract a lot of attention.
As a result, Dayao, which originally gave people the impression of being barren and poor, was now synonymous with mystery and power in the eyes of many.
This was especially true for the upper echelons of the Chen Nation, who really understood the situation abroad.
In addition to envy and awe of Dayao's power, there were all kinds of indescribable feelings in their hearts.
Twenty years ago, Dayao was indeed poor. They didn't have sharp weapons, exquisite silk, or anything beautiful. They only relied on a group of unruly people who committed murder, arson, and robbery, which made the Chen Nation, the Yun Nation, and Great Xia look down on them.
However, with the emergence of one person, the development of Dayao over the past 20 years had been advancing in a tyrannical manner.
All kinds of exquisite items, all kinds of wonderful products that people couldn't stop praising, came out of the desert of that civilization.
Telephones that could communicate thousands of miles away, lifelike street projections, ironclad warships on the water, and even giant steel eagles that could fly in the sky.
Today, the Yun Nation had perished and was turned into the Yun Residence by Dayao.
Great Xia was split into two and could no longer take care of Dayao.
The State of Chen shrank in a corner, burying its head in the soil. On the surface, it was singing and dancing to celebrate peace, but behind the scenes, it was unknown how many knowledgeable people were unable to sleep.
…
On this day, the white-haired Prime Minister of the State of Chen went five kilometers outside the city to welcome them.
Although in the eyes of many people, this was destroying their prestige, this proposal was opposed by many people as soon as it was put forward.
This was especially true for the arrogant Chen nobles who indulged in pleasure.
Mu Wu shook his head and sighed inwardly as he recalled the words of those people in the hall.
Some people hadn't opened their eyes to take a good look at the world for a long time.
At this point, they could already see the troops coming from afar.
The people of the Yun Nation were at the front and back, and the Jianlong Army was at the northwest to avoid colliding with them.
In the middle was the group of envoys, which included 500 guards and some attendants.
Although there were only 500 of them, they were the most powerful force under the empress, the winged cavalry.
Every one of them was at the Earth Wheel level. Even though there were only 500 of them, they could contend with 5,000 people or even more. No one dared to underestimate them.
The troops stopped in front of them, and the Jianlong Army in front of them spread out and entered the city from the sides.
The middle army slowly stopped, and Mu Wu sent someone to report their identity in a very humble manner.
After a while, they saw a young lady sitting on a horse, trying her best to look dignified and serious.
Although Honeysuckle tried her best to look dignified and serious, her eyes were wandering and unconsciously looking at everything that she found interesting, except for the group of people in front of her and the old man.
"Why did I come here? What does this have to do with me? "Honeysuckle couldn't help but think of this question.
She had no interest in the affairs of the imperial court at all.
She just loved to play.
She relied on her fists to recruit sons everywhere.
She recruited monks, Taoist nuns, experts with bad connections, and murderers to form a band.
She was even preparing to shoot a movie.
However, as soon as she brought up this idea, her father (doubtfully) kicked her to this barren country that had no sense of existence.
Honeysuckle was daydreaming and simply didn't pay attention to what the old man in front of her said.
She continued until someone coughed heavily behind her.
"Eh? Ah? What? "
"I'm Mu Wu. Greetings, Princess of Dayao." Mu Wu repeated as if nothing had happened, and then introduced the officials around him.
"Princess, you must have had a long journey. Why don't you follow me into the city and rest for a day?"
In fact, Mu Wu came to see who the main envoy was. He wanted to invite the other party into the carriage for a chat and sound out the other party's intentions.
However, at this moment, the others were behind this princess. It seemed that this princess was the one in charge, so it wasn't appropriate to rashly invite her.
He wasn't afraid of an old man inviting a young lady into the carriage for a chat. It seemed that it was easier to get information out of that person, but he was afraid that the 500 winged cavalry warriors would chop him up.
Don't think that they couldn't do it.
The barbarians of Dayao were famous for not playing their cards according to common sense and for turning hostile and chopping people up at any time.
More than ten years ago, being sent to Dayao as an envoy every year was almost a matter of life and death.
It was only because the empress lived in seclusion and cultivated her character that the number of envoys killed over the past ten years didn't exceed three.
…
Mu Wu came out of the city to welcome the princess and the Jianlong army entered the city.
Everyone naturally knew that the princess had arrived.
Many people in the city waited anxiously by the roadside and got what they wished for. They saw the naive and unaffected princess of Dayao sitting on the back of a horse and looking around curiously.
There were also hundreds of ferocious-looking bald men who were covered in blood looking around with threatening gazes.
Honeysuckle was a little disappointed along the way into the city.
The capital of the Chen Nation looked lackluster. In terms of extravagance, it was much worse than Wangjing. In terms of grandeur, it was far inferior to the imperial capital.
However, when they arrived at the Ministry of Rites, Honeysuckle was still full of energy and wanted to go out for a stroll. However, he was stopped by someone. After all, he was on a diplomatic mission and couldn't go out and cause trouble the moment he landed.
Fortunately, he could look forward to the state banquet that night.
"Chen Zi 'ang from the Chen family of Jiangnan pays his respects to the princess of Dayao." Just as he arrived at the entrance of the palace, he "unexpectedly met" a nobleman with a powdered face who thought he was good.
Honeysuckle blinked his eyes and looked at Chen Zi 'ang, who was gorgeously dressed like a peacock spreading its tail.
"Oh!"
"Bright and clear like the light clouds covering the moon, fluttering like the flowing snow in the returning wind. This poem is most suitable to describe Your Highness," Chen Zi 'ang recited leisurely.
He then shook his head and recited, "Round and round, glossy and jade-like. Full of words, breath like orchids. Gorgeous and graceful, makes me forget to eat. "
One had to know that the husband of the empress wasn't a citizen of Dayao and was weak and powerless.
With this precedent, it was unknown how many noblemen wanted to win the princess's smile.
The first to appear was naturally the strongest.
Honeysuckle continued to blink his eyes and looked at the peacock in front of him while reciting the poem and hitting his palm with his fan. After pondering for a long time and being influenced by various books and movies on Earth, he finally understood one thing.
This guy wants to flirt with me?
Honeysuckle, who realized the other party's intention, widened his eyes.
Should he follow the usual practice and beat him up or scold him before beating him up?
"Damn it, shameless." Many people who were watching from afar cursed in their hearts.
Chen Zi 'ang saw that Honeysuckle's expression had a reaction and was delighted. He thought to himself that this guy was indeed from the Barbarian Lands. Just reciting a few lines of poetry was enough to make the other party lose control.
Then, everything went black.
As if he was hit by a hammer, his head swung back heavily and his entire body flew out.
