Chapter 64

Officials from Xiliang came to welcome Chu Huan's carriage, which was very grand and showed respect for Chu Huan. When Chu Huan entered the court this time, he did not let Langwaizi follow him, but instead let Langwaizi stay in the palace of the North Courtyard. All the guards left in the palace were dispatched by Langwaizi.

Although there has been no news about Dade Temple in the past two days, Chu Huan has not relaxed his vigilance against Dade Temple. When he entered the court this time, he was also worried that the people of Dade Temple would take advantage of the situation.

The Western Regions twins are still in the royal palace. In addition, there is the Gusa Concubine who is like a time bomb. It would be fine if the twins were found out that Gusa Concubine was hiding in the Northern Court Palace by the people of Xiliang, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Chu Huan was relieved to have a wolf boy in charge, at least he could guarantee that no one could enter his yard.

He changed into the official uniforms of the Qin officials and paired them with a blood-drinking knife. Qiluo helped him carefully organize it. After all, Mahazang was the regent of the Western Liang Empire. However, this time he had to be cautious and treated with the state courtesy.

After finishing the work, Qiluo sent Chu Huan out of the palace gate. After receiving the order, Qiluo was already restless. She had traveled around Qingluo City with Chu Huan these days, and she was even more loving at night. It can be said that it was the happiest time in Qiluo's life. However, today Chu Huan came to see her, Qiluo felt a pity that she had never felt before.

Even with swords and guns, Qiluo had never felt this way. When she was tidying up Chu Huan's clothes, she was meticulous and very careful. When she sent Chu Huan out of the mansion, Qiluo only felt that every step she took was very heavy, and she seemed to send Chu Huan to the mansion gate, and she would never see her again since then.

She hoped that this road would never end, but the mansion was right in front of her. She was in a heavy mood. She felt that her hands were warm, but Chu Huan had already held her hands. Seeing that Chu Huan was looking at her gently, Qi Luo forced a smile and said softly: "I will accompany you to the court..."

Chu Huan shook his head and smiled, "You are waiting for me in the mansion, and I will be back soon."

Qi Luo stared at Chu Huan, as if she wanted to deeply imprint this face in her heart. After a moment, she said: "Brother Huan, do you... want to return to Qin after meeting the Regent?"

Chu Huan did not answer this question. In fact, this was also a question he had always wanted to discuss with Qi Luo, but he could not find a suitable opportunity to speak. For the two of them, this was a very sensitive and heavy topic after all, but had to be discussed.

But the newlyweds were just a few days ago. Chu Huan wanted to make Qi Luo happy, but did not mention this matter. At this moment, Qi Luo took the initiative to mention it. Chu Huan's expression suddenly became slightly serious, and he pondered slightly, and finally asked: "Qi Luo, if I want to return to Qin, will you... go with me?"

He knew that this problem was actually cruel.

For Qiluo, no matter what the answer is, it is an extremely difficult choice.

If she was willing to follow Chu Huan to return to Qin, she would stay away from her hometown, her relatives, her tribe, and enter a completely unfamiliar environment.

But if she chooses to stay, she must be separated from the man she loves, and perhaps she will never meet from now on.

There was a hint of trance between Qiluo's eyebrows, but Chu Huan's clear eyes looked at her. Finally, Qiluo seemed to have made a decision, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "You are my husband. Wherever you go, I will naturally follow you wherever you go."

Chu Huan's mood was not relieved when he heard Qiluo's answer. Under Qiluo's sweet smile, how heavy the heart was. He did not be afraid of everyone beside him. He took Qiluo into his arms and kissed her on the forehead, and his tone was firm: "Qiluo, don't worry, I won't let you suffer grievances, wait for me to come back!"

...

...

The imperial palace of Xiliang is naturally not as majestic as the imperial city of Qin, but it can be regarded as magnificent and magnificent. It does not have the so-called palace walls of the Qin Palace, but there are heavy troops guarding it within ten miles of the palace.

The Xiliang Imperial Palace is also called the Sun Palace. The main palace of the Imperial Palace is the most magnificent and magnificent building in the entire Xiliang Kingdom. Although many buildings in Qingluo City imitate the architectural style of the Qin Kingdom, and even the imperial palace has many palaces imitating the architectural design of the Central Plains, the Sun Palace is completely different from the architectural style of the Central Plains. It is square on all sides, but the top cover is semicircular, which seems to be a huge pot lid. Moreover, the round top is golden in color. Under the sunlight, it will be golden and dazzling.

The Sun Palace was the place where the King of Xiliang went to court to handle political affairs. The interior was also very grand, with carved beams and painted roads, magnificent, and the four walls were all carved with exquisite murals.

Unlike when the Qin Dynasty went to court, the emperor sat alone on the dragon throne, while the ministers stood in the court. When the Western Liang Dynasty went to court, the King of Xiliang was indeed sitting on the throne, but the officials of the Western Liang Dynasty who went to court all sat on the ground. There was an exquisite blanket under their butts. Depending on the level of the official position, the patterns in the discussion were also very different.

Mahazang was sitting on the throne at this time. The throne was a chair made of pure gold. It was a rare white tiger skin. The tiger skin extended down from the top of the seat. In front of the foot, there was a fake tiger head. The tiger skin was real tiger skin, but the tiger head was a fake tiger head. However, the tiger head was made very realistic, with round eyes and round fangs on the chair. Mahazang sat on the chair and seemed to be stepping on a ferocious tiger, showing the aura of the king.

At this moment, he was wearing a golden dress, with a golden crown on his head, his body leaned forward slightly, and his eyes were bright. In the court, there were a large number of officials sitting cross-legged on both sides of the branch, with hundreds of people.

Although many of these officials were senior officials from Xiliang, more were the clan leaders of all ethnic groups who came from various tribes in the Western Liang these past two days. In addition, there were also many garrison officials from the Western Regions countries who were stationed in Qingluo City.

Xiliang is the most powerful country in the Western Regions. Although its territory is far inferior to that of Qin, for dozens of small countries in the Western Regions, Xiliang is a giant entrenched by his side.

In the eyes of small countries in the Western Regions, the Western Liang was vast, with vast land, abundant resources, and strong soldiers and horses. It was a powerful empire that could not be offended. Therefore, a long time ago, the Western Regions had already surrendered to the prestige of the Western Liang, and the King of Western Liang was respected as the Sun King in their mouths.

Most of the countries in the Western Regions were vassal states of the Western Liang. Whether it was true surrender or because they wanted to trade with the Western Liang, the countries in the Western Regions were very friendly to the Western Liang. Many countries even set up stations in Qingluo City to communicate with the Western Liang at any time on behalf of their own country.

For these countries, they did not care who the King of Xiliang was. They were just concerned about whether the friendly relations with Xiliang could continue. They were well-informed and knew that the power of Xiliang had fallen into the hands of Mahazang. When they learned that the Regent was going to hold a court meeting today, the envoys of various countries immediately negotiated with the Grand Litai of Xiliang and received the permission of the Regent to come to the court to pay homage.

Soon they knew that the purpose of the Regent's court meeting today was to approach the envoys of Qin, and these envoys in the Western Regions were immediately very interested.

Of course they knew that in the far east, there was an empire larger than the Xiliang. A long time ago, their ancestors even went to the far east empire to worship the once extremely powerful Central Plains Empire. They even remember that at that time, the trade between the Western Regions and the Central Plains Empire was very frequent, and the two sides had formed excellent relationships.

However, after the rise of the Western Liang Empire, the trade path with the East was cut off. If the countries in the Western Regions wanted to obtain the exquisite goods from the Central Plains, they could only trade with the merchants of the Western Liang.

The people of Xiliang traded to the west with the countries in the Western Regions, and to the east, they traded between the people and the Qin State. The goods from both sides were repeatedly traded in the hands of the people of Xiliang, and they gained violence from it, resulting in the goods from the Central Plains being even sky-high in the Western Regions, while the goods from the Western Regions were also expensive in Central Turkey.

The people of the Western Regions were also full of yearning for the Eastern Empire deep in their hearts. What kind of scene was the Eastern Empire that produced these precious goods?

So today in the Temple of the Sun, they were looking forward to seeing the arrival of the envoys of the Eastern Empire. They also wanted to see what their characters looked like in the kingdom where their ancestors had arrived in thousands of mountains and rivers.

The Xiliang court was silent. After a while, a palace guard rushed over and entered the palace and said, "Reported to the Regent, the Qin envoy has arrived, but he has not entered the court!"

"Don't you enter the court?" Mahazang narrowed his eyes and touched his whisper, "Why don't they enter the court?"

"They are all equipped with weapons." The guard replied: "We want them to dismantle the weapons, but they refuse to dismantle them, and they claim that the weapons are one with them. If they want to dismantle the weapons, they will not go to court."

Mahazang immediately remembered the scene when he was in Qin. He went to visit the Emperor of Qin and insisted on bringing a knife into the hall. He didn't expect that Chu Huan would come with him today, so he laughed without being angry, "So what about bringing a knife?" He waved his hand and said, "Let them bring a knife into the hall!"

The ministers of Western Liang looked at each other, and even the envoys of the Western Regions were quite surprised. In this temple of sun, except for those sitting on the golden throne, they had never seen anyone dare to bring a knife into the hall.

Not long after, he heard a loud shout outside the hall: "Envoy of the Great Qin, come to the hall to meet you!"

Everyone turned their eyes to the outside of the hall. Without waiting for too long, they saw a group of people entering the hall. There were five people coming. One of them was Xue Huaian, a Qin envoy in a new robe. Xue Huaian had been in the officialdom for a long time and had seen all kinds of scenes. Although the Xiliang Dynasty was overwhelming, he seemed very calm, and when he walked, he was still ashamed of official airs.

In the bones of the Qin people, Xiliang was just a small country, and the status of the King of Xiliang was nothing more than the governors of various Qin dynasties. Xue Huaian did not think that the people on the golden throne were very noble.

Behind Xue Huaian, left and right, Chu Huan, wearing an official robe, on the right, Xuanyuan Shengcai, wearing armored armor, and two guard warriors behind, holding things in their hands.

Not to mention Xuanyuan Sheng was wearing exquisite armor, just talking about the official robe made of first-class brocade yarn on Xue Huaian and Chu Huan, it was already praised by the envoys of the Western Regions. They were all nobles of the Western Regions. Of course, they knew the price of silk, and they could also see the quality of silk. The soft silk of these two Central Plains officials was obviously a first-class material. Such a suit was expensive in the Western Regions, and ordinary nobles could not enjoy it. Only members of the royal family in the Western Regions could use it.

It should be noted that even if it is the Western Liang Dynasty, the trade with Qin State is not very frequent. The silk from the Qin State is insufficient to supply the Western Liang nobles. The silk from the Western Regions was even rarer. Even if the high-quality silk comes from the Qin State, it must be preferred by the Western Liang nobles. The silk in the Western Regions is originally small, and the materials are generally average. Like the clothes of Chu Huan and Xue Huaian, it is rare in the Western Regions.

More importantly, after Xue Huaian, Chu Huan and others entered the hall, unlike the envoys from the Western Regions who bowed three points when they entered the hall. Xue Huaian, Chu Huan and others all raised their heads and chests without any rudeness. In the eyes of the Western Regions, they all felt that the figures of the great power were indeed extraordinary, with a striking style and extraordinary talent.
