Chapter Fourteen First Arrival to the Territory (Part 2)
At this time, Chen Min could clearly see that the military advisor really didn't like this, so he wisely canceled some of the following rituals. To deal with Xiao Xiao, He Ran could only use deception. If he couldn't deceive him, there was nothing he could do.
He knew Xiao's temperament, and no matter how unwilling he was, he had no choice but to take her with him.
After resting for one night in Muhu City, He Ran crossed the Axuduan Gorge the next day. Because there were still many days before the founding of the Xiang Kingdom, Xiao Xiao did not accompany her. She felt relieved, knowing that He Ran did not dare to do so.
Leave her behind.
The Fuduan Gorge is nearly a hundred miles long. After passing the gorge, you have to climb two less steep mountains to cross the mountains that span the north and south. At that time, people did not have the habit of naming the mountains. It was a pioneering work.
The mountain range of Shun Kingdom was named Shunge Mountain Range. Of course, this name only appeared on his geographical map.
This mountain range stretching for thousands of miles has greatly affected the climate on both sides. In Muhu City, you only need to wear single clothes, but when you get here, you have to wear thicker clothes. The wind is like a knife, and although there is no ice or snow yet, the temperature is comparable to that of Yi.
It’s winter in our country.
There is only a mountain range between them. Apart from the climate, the differences between the two sides are amazing. The people on this side wear more furs and furs, and their skin is slightly rough. Their speech and behavior are also much rougher and bolder than those on the other side. The people's houses are all similar.
It is a brick house. It is rare to see the wooden houses and bamboo houses in the Yi State. Of course, the poor people's houses are thatched huts, which is the same on both sides. The vegetation is also very different. There is less bamboo and more green grass.
Pines, green cypresses, even the appearance of livestock, birds and animals are quite different.
This was not surprising to He Ran. He understood that it was caused by the high mountains blocking the movement of warm and cold air. However, it was very strange and puzzling to the soldiers of the Yi State who came here for the first time. Everything they looked at felt strange and strange.
Cleared the horizon.
The military advisor of the State of Yi came to watch the ceremony in person, which was beyond Chen Min's expectation. Everyone knew that military advisor He was lazy by nature, and not just anyone could invite him. He felt that his face was bright and at the same time he was also very nervous.
You are an important minister with great power in the country of Yi. The king of Yi regards him as a sibling, and all the ministers look up to him. It is said that you can bring swords and guards when entering and leaving the palace. It can be said that he is the one who supports and supports the entire country of Yi.
He even planned the establishment of his own country. Faced with such an important person, if he fails to serve him well, he might not even need to establish his own country.
Chen Min put a lot of thought into how to welcome the military advisor of the State of Yi. He had to show his extraordinary respect for the military advisor while not exceeding the etiquette standards for welcoming the King of Yi in the future. He prepared almost every utensil for every ceremony.
He wanted to personally intervene. According to his original intention, he wanted to welcome him out of the city for hundreds of miles to show his respect. However, the official advised him that this was too polite and that the most he could do was to go out of the royal city. Chen Min felt that this was not enough. After repeated consideration, he decided to go out of the city for thirty years.
Welcome inside.
When approaching Chen Minding's royal city Andu, He Ran heard that Chen Min had gone out of the city for thirty miles to greet him. He felt a little funny and felt a great sense of accomplishment. He was doing really well now. A few years ago, he had to nod and bow when meeting people.
The little clerk with a smiling face is now greeted by the king of a country with fear and fear. The gap is really huge.
Unintentionally thinking about his past, he couldn't help but sigh softly. In addition to missing his relatives and friends, this sigh was more about the relief and joy of escaping from the sea of suffering. Compared with the life he lived before, it was not a human life.
This is not to say that as a high-ranking official, he lives like a human being. On the contrary, he feels that the people in Zangxian Valley are much more comfortable than him. That is how a human being lives, without any oppression or injustice, and without being too busy.
People around you love each other and help each other. You don’t have to worry about someone trying to harm you. You can speak and do things openly. As long as you don’t feel disgusted, you never have to worry.
As a strategist, he has all kinds of helplessness and hard work. Although he is not as comfortable as the valley people, he is much better than his previous self. At least he no longer has to go against his will in everything, and his self-esteem no longer has to be repeatedly destroyed. Living without dignity is also a problem.
It's no longer interesting.
Seeing the army of military advisors from a distance, Chen Min hurriedly ordered to play music, while he led his officials to greet them.
After getting closer, Chen Min was surprised and sighed when he looked at this magical strategist who looked like a slut. What surprised him was that the image and demeanor of this world-famous strategist was far from what he had imagined, especially his flashy face.
His smile didn't look like a high-ranking official. What he sighed was that the country of Yi was really a place where young talents gathered. Previously, a young Shi Lang led his troops to sweep thousands of miles, which opened everyone's eyes. This Bi Shi Lang
The magical strategist who is more famous and more popular seems to be younger than Tokiro. What is more enviable than being successful at a young age? His life is limited, but he can enjoy many more good days than others.
After meeting, Chen Min insisted on observing the etiquette of colleagues, and He Ran did not force it. He met him and looked at him carefully. He saw that Chen Min was in his fifties, with a yellow face and a yellow beard. The most surprising facial features were his mouth and big mouth.
He has thick lips and messy teeth, and is slightly taller than himself. His smile seems a little over-enthusiastic but full of sincerity and reverence. His crimson attire wraps up his already fat body, giving him a sense of grace and wealth. After all, before
As the Duke of the country, you still have that magnanimity, and although your behavior is a little nervous, everything is decent.
After some pleasantries, Chen Min led He Ran to the brocade tent specially built to welcome him. After drinking the dust-washing wine, he once again expressed his gratitude and welcome to He Ran. He was also very polite to the accompanying little princess.
From now on, he will be neighbors with Fanbang, so maintaining good relations between the two countries is naturally a top priority.
He Ran was most tired of socializing in this kind of situation. At this time, he smiled and waved his hands and said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to be too polite. I am used to being casual. I feel uncomfortable with too many etiquettes. Haha, if He Ran is rude in the future,
Prince Chu, please don’t blame me.”
"Where did the military advisor come from? Haha, I've long heard that the military advisor is a very affectionate person. No matter how casual you are, it's really a pleasure to get along with a person like the military advisor. If Chen Min has not treated him well, I hope the military advisor will not offend him.
"
"Your Majesty, please keep everything simple. The most important thing I want to do here is to congratulate you on your founding of the country and your enthronement. Apart from that, there are some small things to discuss with your Majesty. Let's go to the city and talk in detail."
Chen Min said yes repeatedly, and after leaving the tent, he chose to ride a horse instead of boarding the luxurious carriage specially prepared for him. This was a habit he had developed in the past few years. The first thing he thought of when he arrived in a new place was
Observe the surrounding terrain, typical occupational diseases.
Chen Min walked side by side with him, answering enthusiastically and carefully the various topics raised by He Ran about the local customs and customs. Although He Ran said that everything should be kept simple, he still received a grand and complicated welcome ceremony when entering the city.
, he knew that this was carefully prepared by Chen Min, and the people were kind-hearted and did not want to embarrass him. It was not until he entered the palace that he breathed a sigh of relief and said to Chen Min: "Don't do this again in the future. I feel tired after all the trouble."
Already."
