Xue Huaian shook his head. At this time, there were people around him, and he couldn't explain it clearly for a while, so he just said, "Let's talk about this matter back."

Zhu Lingyue was so smart that he knew there was something hidden inside, so he didn't ask much, but Chu Huan had already asked: "Governor, our princess..."

Zhu Lingyue naturally knew Chu Huan's meaning and smiled and said, "The princess has arrived half a month ago and has been in the county town."

Chu Huan knew in his heart that the princess who came from Qin was naturally Princess Jingyun, but she thought in her heart that if it weren't for the incident in Xiliang and Mahazang had not sent the princess, the little princess would definitely be sent to Xiliang.

Now that Princess Xiliang is in the future, the princess of Daqin will naturally not marry to Xiliang, but she is also grateful for Princess Jingyun.

Zhu Lingyue arranged to greet the crowd at Xifenglou, so naturally not everyone would go to the banquet, mainly some officials of the mission. As for the soldiers of the mission and the twin sisters, Zhu Lingyue quickly made arrangements.

The news of the mission's return to China was already received here in advance, so Zhu Lingyue made arrangements early, and the soldiers had their own settlement. As for the sisters, although they would not have arranged with the soldiers, they also found another elegant place to settle for the time being.

Beiyuan County is not big, and it has been used as the front-line command base for resisting the Xiliang Army, so many of the people in the city have been evacuated and are not prosperous.

However, Xifenglou is indeed the largest restaurant in the county. When a group of people came to Xifenglou, Chu Huan had already seen dozens of gentry and officials in front of Xifenglou. The gentry were dressed in bright clothes and waiting, including civil officials and military generals. When Xue Huaian and his group came over, the group hurriedly came forward.

Xue Huaian turned over and got off the horse, and saw a tender and tender gentry among the waiting crowd, and bowed and smiled, "Governor, has the mission arrived?"

Zhu Lingyue introduced: "This is Xue's master, this is the deputy envoy, Chu Huanchu, and this is General Xuanyuan!" He smiled at Xue Huaian and said: "This is the master, this is Gao Yan, the gentleman of Qingzhou, and today's banquet is prepared by Mr. Gao."

When Chu Huan heard this name, it seemed familiar, and it seemed that he had heard it.

Gao Lian was already smiling and said, "Ga Lian, a vulgar man, has met the master of the ministry, the master Chu, and the general Xuanyuan!" He said his name, and bowed, looking quite humble.

Xue Huaian nodded with a smile. After all, he was a person who was a man of old accidents. He was very sensible in such occasions. Gao Lian claimed to be a vulgar and seemed to have no official status. However, Xue Huaian was a person with vision after all. He was a dignified Minister of Rites and a general envoy of the mission. Zhu Lingyue asked this gentleman to handle this reception banquet in detail. Gao Lian must not be a simple person.

Chu Huan looked calm, but his mind was flying. Soon he suddenly remembered that Gao Lian had heard of it.

I remember that before I was sent to the envoy, Dou Bo, the general under Yu Buqu was implicated in the matter of entering the pass. Yu Buqu cried and killed Dou Bo. Chu Huan still remembered this matter fresh.

That incident touched Chu Huan a lot.

Dou Bo was implicated because of the letter of entry into the customs, and the emergence of the letter of entry into the customs was due to the shortage of military food. Dou Bo used the letter of entry into the customs to obtain silver, so he used the money to buy grain to relieve the hunger of the soldiers.

It is understandable that Dou Bo violated the military law, but Yu Buqu governed the army strictly, and the factions in the Northwest Army were clearly distinguished. Dou Bo was Yu Buqu’s confidant general, which was precisely this reason. Yu Buqu had to strictly enforce the military rules.

Yu Buqu was in the northwest, and his soldiers were clearly divided into two major factions. One was the soldiers and horses brought by Yu Buqu. Most of these soldiers were dispatched by Yu Buqu’s troops from various places. Many of the generals were Yu Buqu’s old subordinates, while the other faction was the Northwest Army, which was originally stationed in the northwest under Feng Hanxiao.

Yu Buqu wants to order the orders to be like a mountain and let the Northwest Army obey the orders, so he naturally needs to reward and punish them clearly. Even if Dou Bo violated the military ritual for some reason, he was the stolen general after all, and this was a serious crime. According to the military law, he should naturally be killed. If Yu Buqu protects Dou Bo and is lightly deposed, the Northwest Army will naturally be unwilling to accept it, and Yu Buqu’s authority will also plummet.

Chu Huan remembered clearly that Dou Bo came up with the reason of entering the pass, and the reason was that this Qingzhou gentry named Gao Lian.

It is said that this man is a first-class wealthy man in Qingzhou, with thousands of fertile land and countless property. He also built granaries and hoarded grain. When the soldiers in the northwest were hungry, almost all the grain in Mr. Gao's granaries would rot. In order to transfer a large amount of his wealth to the inner city, he wanted to bribe Dou Bo's men under Yu Buqu's command, so that Yu Buqu could open aside and let him enter the pass.

Although Dou Bo refused Gao Lian's bribe, he also came up with the trick of entering the pass, and Dou Bo was eventually beheaded because Gao Lian.

Chu Huan even remembered that when the delegation went out of Xigu Pass and entered the Guanxi area, he happened to meet the Gao clan who entered the pass at Xigu Pass. Gao Lian's father, Old Master Gao, was blocked by him and was not allowed to enter the pass. In this way, he had a grudge against this Gao Lian and Mr. Gao.

However, Gao Lian seemed to have forgotten this time. When he saluted Chu Huan, he was still respectful and had a smile on his face.

However, the more this happened, Chu Huan felt that the more hypocritical this person was. He naturally had a spoiled appearance and lived an extremely luxurious life.

Everyone greeted each other and greeted each other, and Zhu Lingyue and others welcomed Xue Huaian and others into Xifeng Tower.

Of course, there are no other guests in Xifeng Tower today. Both upper and lower floors are already rounded. There is a patio between the first and second floors, and there is a circle of seats above, so that the upper and lower floors can be interconnected.

Dozens of banquets have been arranged in Xifeng Tower. Zhu Lingyue invited Xue Huaian, Chu Huan and Xuanyuan Shengcai to take the seats at the main seat, and other officials of the delegation also arranged seats.

Xifenglou obviously prepared for this reception banquet. In this small county town, this restaurant is also very elegantly decorated. Whether it is the decoration of tables and chairs, it is quite particular. Everyone sat down one after another. In addition to the civil servants and generals of the court, there were many gentry, and there were also many literati and poets who were very famous in the northwest.

Although Gao Lian had no official status, he obviously had a good status in the northwest. He was actually accompanied by the master and sat opposite Chu Huan. When Chu Huan saw him dressed in bright clothes, even wearing a gold bracelet on one hand, and an emerald ring on one finger, he knew that he had a strong financial resources when he looked at it.

Zhu Lingyue ordered the banquet and the banquet began. The wine and food were delivered to the table like flowing water. Chu Huan looked at the wine and food, chicken, duck, fish and meat, and there were many exquisite foods, regardless of the color and fragrance. The wine was poured into the wine glass and immediately exuded an intoxicating fragrance. Xue Huaian and others only drank the horse milk wine from the people of Xiliang for a long time, and were very uncomfortable. At this time, when they smelled this fragrant wine, they felt dry in their mouths.

Xue Huaian obviously didn't expect that today's welcoming banquet would have such a pomp. Although it was notified in advance, it was really not easy to prepare such a sumptuous welcoming banquet in a short time. He held the cup and stood up first. With him, hundreds of people from Xifeng Tower also stood up. Seeing that Xue Huaian had already picked up the wine glass, everyone also held the glasses, but he heard Xue Huaian say: "This time he was ordered by the Emperor to go on an envoy.

The Western Liang, who was grateful to the emperor, was also a perfect merit. The people of Xiliang retreated in a hurry, and from then on, our northwest of Qin entered peace. This was the wise and wise nature of the emperor. I suggested that we should respect the emperor together for the kindness of Tiantian!" Turning to the southeast direction where Luo'an's capital was, holding the cup with both hands and lifting it over the top. Everyone hurriedly turned to the southeast, and they all raised the cups high over the top. Seeing Xue Huaian drinking first, they all drank it all.

Gao Lian was very attentive to drink for Xue Huaian Zhen. Xue Huaian did not sit down and raised his glass again: "Genuine General Yu is not here today, so we cannot respect each other in person. The Western Liang cavalry invaded our Great Qin, and our Great Qin soldiers fought bravely, tragic and tragic. The Old General Yu, Governor Zhu and the soldiers and civilians in the northwest shared the same hatred of the enemy, and paid a huge price to drive the strange enemy out of their homes. In this cup, I respect the Old General Yu, Governor Zhu, and the soldiers and civilians in the northwest, and everyone here!"

Zhu Lingyue hurriedly said, "The master of the ministry has been too good. The old general Yu has made great contributions. The soldiers and soldiers in the northwest have used their lives. The gentry and people in the northwest are united. The subordinates just do what they should do, and there is no question of their contribution."

Gao Lian smiled and said, "Governor Zhu is too humble. Old General Yu naturally made an indelible contribution, but Governor Zhu stood up in times of crisis. If it weren't for Governor Zhu, the northwest would have fallen long ago. Governor Zhu's kindness to the northwest and the millions of people in the northwest would never dare to forget."

Xue Huaian took the lead in drinking it all, and everyone drank the wine in the glass.

"I would like to thank you for your hard work here to welcome the mission." Xue Huaian smiled and said, "I have been separated from my hometown for many months. The mission has been deeply concerned about my hometown. Today I am very happy to celebrate the victory of the Qin Dynasty with you." I smiled and said, "Mr. Gao spent money, but I am ashamed."

Gao Lian bowed and smiled, "Mr. Master, today's banquet is for many gentry to express their feelings in order to welcome the mission to celebrate the triumphant reunion. I hope Master. Don't laugh."

Chu Huan was already smiling. After entering the pass, he was depressed and hungry. The people he saw were shabby and thin, but there were big fish and meat, and the wine and food were piled up on the table. If this was considered vulgar and shabby, Chu Huan could hardly imagine what it would be like if it was not vulgar and shabby.

After three glasses of wine, everyone sat down. Zhu Lingyue smiled and said to Xue Huaian: "Mr. Gao is not an official, but he is not weak in worrying about the country and the people. When he came to Jiazhou this time, he brought many gentry from Beishan Road to the north. The purpose of their coming was not for anything else, but for the reconstruction of the northwest."

"Oh?" Xue Huaian smiled and said, "Mr. Gao did not forget to serve the country, which really made me feel relieved. In this northwest, the court still needs you to rely on your help to rebuild the peaceful home together."

Gao Lian smiled and said, "Although the Cao people have no talent or virtue, they are also citizens of the Qin Dynasty. If the country suffers such a disaster, how can we watch coldly? Everyone here thinks that the Qin country is rich and strong, and even more that the Northwest will get out of the suffering as soon as possible. Even if the Cao people are crushed to pieces, they will also give their own meager power to the reconstruction of the Northwest."
