Chapter 460: Prince of Dali, why don’t you pay your respects?

Ishihara Castle.

This is the northwest border city of Dali Kingdom, and it is also an important military town. As the general of Shiyuan City, he naturally has a large number of troops and his prestige is growing day by day.

"Report!"

"General, the envoy of Dayu is asking for an audience outside the city."

A defender hurried to the general's mansion, saluted the middle-aged general sitting at the top, and said in a deep voice: "Can you let them enter the city?"

"Envoy of Dayu?"

Liao Sicheng frowned slightly and said softly: "Why didn't I receive any news from Yu's envoy?"

"Have you ever submitted your credentials?"

"Never!"

After hearing what the soldier said, Liao Sicheng fell into deep thought and said after a long time: "Wait until they come to see me."

"promise!"

After the soldiers left, a middle-aged man in a white plain robe strode in, slightly arching his hands.

"My Lord, I heard that an envoy from Yu the Great is visiting?"

"Um!"

"Is it a coincidence that I entered the city at this moment?"

Liao Sicheng also frowned and said in a deep voice: "Whether it is a coincidence or not, we cannot let them stay in Shiyuan City. Let them enter the customs directly and send people all the way to the capital."

"My lord, the one in the court who suppresses dissidents is now gaining more and more prestige in the court. During this period, he has begun to reach out to other places. Perhaps this is an opportunity for us."

"you mean?"

"If these people are real, then my lord might as well make contact with them."

"Empress Da Li can't tolerate us. It's sunset in the Southern Barbarians, but Dayu is different!"

There was a gleam in Shuofang's eyes, and he took a deep look at Liao Sicheng: "Now that Dayu's army is getting stronger and stronger, the country is rich and the people are strong, sooner or later they will send troops to Dali. If we can establish a relationship with it... "

"It's also to find an escape route for yourself!"

"What you say makes sense."

Liao Sicheng fell into a brief thought and said calmly: "But let's finalize this deal with Manzi first."

"These barbarians are extremely rich. Gold and jewelry are like dung on the grassland. Now I sell these old grains to them and make money with my eyes closed."

"No matter who you are, you can't cut off this general's financial path."

Liao Sicheng's words were sonorous and powerful. As the footsteps sounded, a soldier bowed respectfully and whispered: "General, the envoy of Dayu has arrived."

"Let them in."

"promise!"

Not long after, several figures were seen striding into the hall. Liao Sicheng also stood up slowly, his eyes falling on the heroic young man at the head.

"Why don't you bow to the general when you see him?"

When the soldier saw Ning Fan standing there quietly without saluting, he couldn't help but scolded him.

"presumptuous!"

Dian Wei's eyes widened and he shouted angrily: "If you continue to scold me, grandpa, I'll chop your head off."

"Keng!"

There was the sound of swords being unsheathed, and all the soldiers in the general's mansion drew their swords and aimed them at Ning Fan and his party, as if they were ready to rush up and kill them at any time.

"Is this the way Dali treats guests?"

"Haha, aren't you being too rude, Your Excellency?"

Liao Sicheng had a faint smile on his lips and looked at Ning Fan calmly: "I heard that you are the envoy of Dayu?"

"No!"

Ning Fan shook his head, took out a token from his sleeve with a smile, and said playfully: "I am the King of Peace conferred by Empress Dali!"

Seeing the token in Ning Fan's hand, Liao Sicheng and all the soldiers were shocked and froze on the spot.

"Why, you are still not polite when you see Prince Dali?"

Dian Wei took advantage of the situation and shouted loudly. All the soldiers around him looked shocked. They all put down their weapons and knelt down on one knee respectfully: "Greetings to His Highness King Heishi."

People around him knelt down sparsely, but Liao Sicheng and Shuofang were stunned on the spot.

"Why, is it possible that the general doesn't even recognize the token given by the empress?"

"In other words, you have never taken me, Prince Da Li, into consideration?"

Ning Fan had a joking look on his face, but Liao Sicheng took a deep look at the command talisman in his hand, stepped forward and asked, "You are the envoy of Dayu, why do you have the command of King Da Li?"

"Nonsense, my lord is the Queen of Dali and has been crowned the king of the opposite sex!"

"Isn't it normal to have a royal order?"

Dian Wei didn't take the labor guard at all, looking arrogant and domineering, while Li Bai looked around as if he was watching a show.

"Why don't you meet me yet?"

Seeing Dian Wei's aggressive look, Liao Sicheng's eyes flashed with coldness, and he reluctantly stepped forward and held his hands: "Greetings to His Highness King Pingshi."

"No gifts!"

Ning Fan smiled and waved his hand, and said calmly: "Prepare a house. I have been traveling all the way and need to rest for two days."

"You...your highness, are you an envoy of Dayu?"

"good!"

"How can this be?"

"How could a person from Dayu become the prince of Dayu?"

"Don't believe me?" Ning Fan raised his eyebrows: "How about you write to Empress Dali to see if this king is a fake?"

"Humph, I will write a letter on my own."

"Go and prepare a house for King Heishi to stay."

"promise!"

The tense atmosphere in the hall instantly calmed down, and Ning Fan, led by several soldiers, arrived at a house near the General's Mansion.

"Has the news gotten out?"

"Um!"

…

"hateful!"

"Have I ever been so humiliated?"

"Somebody come!"

After Ning Fan and others left, Liao Sicheng sat in the main hall with a livid face. With a low drink, several soldiers rushed in instantly.

"Send someone to closely monitor every move of King Pingshi. Even if he eats, drinks, or defecates, he will be reported every time."

"promise!"

After everyone left, Shuofang took a deep look at Liao Sicheng and said softly: "My lord, the identity of this king of peace should not be fake."

"My subordinates also heard that last year on the grassland, King Yuyong saved the empress' life, and the empress rewarded him as king!"

"What!"

Liao Sicheng's expression changed slightly, he looked at Shuofang suddenly, and whispered: "You mean, that young man just now is the second prince of Dayu, Prince Yong?"

"You can't go wrong thinking about it."

"Why did he come to Dali?" Liao Sicheng frowned and said in a deep voice: "Even if Dayu is sending an envoy to Dali, the credentials should be handed over by the Ministry of Rites, and then spread throughout the world, and officials from the Ministry of Rites will be sent as envoys."

"But now, there has been no movement, but a group of Yu's envoys and even Prince Yu personally appeared."

"Is there a conspiracy?"

Shuofang shook his head and said solemnly: "My lord, don't forget that King Yong's fiefdom borders my Shiyuan City!"

"Could it be that this time King Yong came to visit privately, and the Yu court did not know about it?"

"If that's true, that would be interesting."

Liao Sicheng's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he said in a deep voice: "Send people to spread the news about King Yong's mission to Dali. No matter what his intentions are, our top priority is the deal with Manzi tomorrow night. !”
