That night, Ulan Baz did not show up at his residence. During the meal, Altusha noticed Ulan Baz's absence and asked casually, but even his followers did not know where Ulan Baz had gone.
Dusha was a little unhappy, and asked someone to ask the Ming soldiers in front of the Yamen. The reply he got was that in the afternoon, Ulan Bage came back drunk. He didn't know what he went back to get something, and then left drunk.
Already.
After Altusha got the news, he didn't dare to ask any more questions. Ulan Bari was young and strong, but not older than him. Maybe he had sex after drinking and went to a brothel to have a good time. If he really asked,
It was a shame that he, the great prime minister of Timur's empire, had an ugly face. He didn't say anything at the moment, but was angry in his heart, hoping to wait for Ulan Bari to come back so that he could teach him a lesson.
Of course Ulan Baz was not there the next morning, but at noon, he still hadn't come back. Altusa began to feel that something was wrong. He immediately rushed to meet Xia Xun, explained the situation, and asked Xia Xun to help search. Xia Xun, of course
Full of agreement, he immediately summoned the Dezhou commander in front of him and ordered him to send troops to search the entire city.
For a time, a massive search was launched across the city for brothels, brothels and restaurants. Altusa was sitting angrily in the hall. Xia Xun comforted him with a smile. Suddenly, a follower of Altusa ran in and told him that the bookstore
The boss brought a cart of books to my door.
Because Dezhou is a military barracks, the only bookstore is not in good condition and has few books. When they went to the bookstore to wander around, they did not see any interesting books here, so they explained the general direction of their choice and asked the shopkeeper to urgently transport it from elsewhere.
A batch of books arrived, regardless of whether they were good or bad. They wanted them all. They even placed a deposit, and now they have them delivered to their doorsteps.
Altusa and Gesuyedin were not responsible for financial affairs. When they rushed from Samarkand to the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the gifts they brought to the Ming Emperor, they also brought many gold coins, which were exchanged for gold coins in Jinling City.
The Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes are all of the largest denominations. When stacked, they are about as thick as seven or eight books. They are all managed by Ulan Bari.
Altusha then asked someone to go to Ulanba's residence to collect money and pay. After a while, the entourage came hurriedly and whispered to him. Altusha was startled, then stood up and said to Xia Xun: "Ulanba
I have to trouble the Duke to search for the whereabouts of Sun. I have some things to do there, so I would like to say goodbye."
After the interpreter finished speaking, Xia Xun stood up with a smile and said: "Master Altusa, just go and do your business. The person was lost on our ground. Don't worry, I will find it even if I dig three feet into the ground!"
"
Altusa winked at Gesuyedin, and the two of them said goodbye and left, hurried back to the courtyard where they lived.
"Lord Altusa, look!"
Immediately, a follower presented a letter with both hands and said respectfully: "The villain found this under Ulan Bage's pillow when he was getting money!"
Altusha snatched it over and took out the letter. The letter was in Ulan Bazhi's handwriting, which was fluent in Japanese. Ulan Bazhi said in the letter that he went to the West because he wanted to post wood.
Er Khan had established great achievements under his command. Unexpectedly, when he came eastward, the prime ministers and generals around the Khan were afraid of the Ming Dynasty's military power and had no intention of marching eastward. This made him very disappointed.
He left his hometown, his tribe and relatives, but he did not expect that he would end up like this. He did not want to go back to the west anymore. He wanted to go back to the northern grasslands and return to his tribe. In the end, he even expressed his gratitude to Tamerlane.
He expressed his gratitude for the care and favor, and asked Altusa and Qasuyeddin to extend their high respect and cordial greetings to Timur Khan on his behalf.
Altusa cursed loudly: "This damn beast, I know that these traitors who betrayed the Great Khan of *** and fled to our Great Khan are not trustworthy at all!"
The attendant added: "Master Prime Minister, we didn't find a single coin in his room. All the money was taken away by him!"
When Gesuyedin heard this, he cursed loudly: "This despicable beast! How shameless!"
The attendant said dryly: "Prime Minister, General, that bookseller is still waiting at the Yamen Gate..."
Altusa's cheek twitched, and he gently touched his finger. He wore a ring on his finger. The ring was made of pure gold, wide and thick, shaped like a ring finger, and had a huge piece of gold on it.
Gemstones, beautiful green jade, crystal clear, priceless.
Altusa trembled and took off the ring from his finger, and said to the servant: "Go, give this ring to the businessman, and tell him to get out of here!"
Gesuyedin said angrily: "I'm going to find Yang Xu and ask him to look north. I must capture that bastard. I will drag his bones behind the horse's butt all the way back to Samarkand!"
"stop!"
Altusa shouted low, with a gloomy expression on his face: "Do you want people to see our joke? The envoys sent by our Timurid Empire actually absconded with money. Once this matter spreads, it will definitely
Become the laughing stock of the world and bring shame to our heroic and invincible Khan!"
After Gaisuyedin stopped drinking, Altusha pondered for a moment and said, "I'm going to see the prince."
In the front hall, Xia Xun was sternly reprimanding the commander of Dezhou City: "This is a military city, and you can't find anyone even if you want to find someone? You are so derelict in your duty! If you can't find this envoy from Timur's kingdom,
It would be very rude to come back, and I will impeach you to His Majesty the Emperor!"
"The Duke of the country forgives sins, the Lord of the country forgives sins, and the fate will be determined..."
As soon as the commander of Nadu said this, Chen Erdusha walked in from the outside, smiled brightly at Xia Xun and said: "Ah! My dear Duke, the matter in Ulan Baz is really too troublesome for you. This matter
Please don’t pursue the matter any further.”
After Xia Xun listened to the interpreter's translation, he said in astonishment: "What? Has the Ulan Bage envoy returned?"
Altusha's old face twitched twice more, forced a smile, and said: "We... saw a letter left by Ulan Baz and already know his whereabouts."
"oh?"
"That's right, well... Ulanba was not originally from our Timur Empire. His hometown is in the north of your Ming Dynasty. Because of some special reasons, he lived in the west and was treated by our Khan.
This time, the reason why he was allowed to join the envoy is actually just because... he is familiar with the route from the east. In fact, he is not a real envoy of our Timur Empire. Yes, that's it. He is just a guide.
"
"oh?"
"Now that the road has been reached, it is very close to his hometown. He felt homesick and wanted to go back to visit his father, mother and brothers, but he was worried that we would not allow it, so he left a letter quietly
He left. Hahaha... In fact, if he wanted to leave, why wouldn't we agree? He actually left without saying goodbye. Really, it made the Duke busy too. It's so rude, so rude..."
"oh!"
Aldu Shaheen said happily: "Having filial piety is a praiseworthy thing. If possible, who wouldn't want to live in his hometown? I think... we should all fulfill his wishes. He is just a guide."
, now that the mission has been completed, let him return to his hometown."
In the barracks, a cell.
Ulan Bari was lying upright on the bed, his body covered with Songjiang cotton bandages, as if he were a mummy. Only two eyes and one mouth were exposed on his face, and his nostrils were opened with chopsticks.
black hole.
The door opened, and a military doctor slowly walked out carrying a medicine box.
Afterwards, the door was closed tightly again, and outside the door, two guards carrying knives slowly walked to the corridor, stretched themselves, and bathed themselves in the bright sunshine.
One of the guards said: "This man dared to assassinate the Duke because of his courage. The nine tribes who should have captured him were the ones who captured him. Those envoys from the Temu'er Kingdom should not have been spared. Why did the Duke only take him?"
How can one be detained secretly and then have his injuries treated?"
Another guard said lazily: "Whatever you are asked to do, just do it. Things that use your brain are the business of adults. Can you guess it? Otherwise, why is he the Duke of the country?"
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Altusa and Gesuyedin returned to Jinling. The original itinerary originally included a stop in Beijing, but the detailed itinerary was not fully disclosed to them in advance, so after the military parade in Texas, this trip to the Ming Dynasty was considered a stop.
It's over. Altusa and Gesuyedin have no intention of visiting Beijing anymore. The purpose of their coming to the East is to examine the strength of the Ming Dynasty. Now, they have obtained the results.
The auxiliary Duke Yang Xu did not accompany them back to Jinling. It is said that his hometown is in Qingzhou and it is rare to come back. He wanted to go back to his hometown to see it, so he appointed the Shandong Chief Envoy to accompany the two foreign envoys back to Jinling. The two ambassadors
He expressed his full understanding of Xia Xun's "homesickness".
After returning to Jinling, Altusa and Gesuyedin had made up their minds that they would never have a military encounter with the Ming Dynasty. In their opinion, maintaining good relations with this powerful empire in the east was the only way for Tamerlane Khan to succeed.
The smartest choice.
In the Jinluan Hall, when Prime Minister Altusa and General Gesuyedin saw Emperor Yongle again, they solemnly knelt down and kowtowed, completely ignoring the previous reason that "our country does not have this custom." In fact, although kneeling down is also practiced in this country,
However, given their official positions, even when they met Tamerlane, they did not need to kneel down and bow.
Altusha not only knelt down and worshiped, but also gave a detailed explanation of the gifts they gave to the Ming Dynasty, such as a horse they donated. According to Altusha, this was the gift of their great Khan during his southern and northern campaigns.
The royal mount was given to the Ming Emperor in order to express their highest respect to the Ming Emperor.
Zhu Di was not a militaristic monarch. When he could use force to intimidate others, he did not want to start a war. Although sometimes this was just a good wish, he at least tried hard for it.
After Zhu Di happily accepted the gift from the Timur Empire and replied to Timur Khan with a letter hoping that the two countries would forever be friends, the two envoys were invited back to Honglu Temple, and Zhu Di happily returned
Jin went to the back of the palace, where the Shandong envoy was already waiting. When he saw the emperor arriving, he immediately handed over a secret memorandum that Xia Xun asked him to bring with him.
When Zhu Di unfolded Xia Xun's secret report and read the content, he couldn't help but laugh out loud: As long as this Yang Xu is asked to do something, he will always ask for people and power as soon as possible, and this time it is no different. Dare to follow
Looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, there is only Yang Xu among the officials that Zhu Di bargained with!
p: It’s Monday, book friends, hurry up and vote for recommendations! There is also ***, is there anyone who has voted for the guaranteed ***? Don’t leave it until the end of the month, there are always book friends, let you talk about it
, you have to save it for the end of the month, or you forget to vote that day, and it rots in your hands. Or you vote, and at that last moment, the effect is really far less than that at the beginning of the month. What people hate the most is that the votes that have been generated at the beginning of the month have to be saved until the end of the month.

"Night Walk in Brocade" was probably about one-third of the way through "Step by Step Lotus" when I began to have vague ideas, which I continued to refine and take shape in my mind. Now, I also have ideas for the next book.
I had a vague idea. The previous books, such as Hui Ming, The Great War, Bu Bu, and Jin Yi all unfolded on the magnificent stage of emperors and generals. The next book is currently planned to be set in the Tang Dynasty, and the character development will be
Change the angle and do it thoroughly! If you have any ideas or suggestions, please mention them. Sometimes your spark of wisdom is very helpful to me. Then I can create this book while perfecting the next idea.
