In the distance, a huge team was slowly moving forward, with a total of 5,000 people. It was a team of completely composed of various ferocious beasts, and the huge beast roar came from the distance.

And each ferocious beast was tied with a red silk stick, and as the spring breeze blew, there were constant noises.

In the middle of the team, a huge ferocious beast three feet tall was slowly walking forward, covered with thick white scales, huge long noses, and snow-white fangs. It was the overlord of the ferocious beasts, a white jade elephant.

Above the white jade statue, there was a silver sedan chair, with a woman in a long animal skin robe sitting upright, with wheat-colored skin, black eyes, and long hair like a waterfall.

A small crown inlaid with five gems was worn on top of her head, with three colorful feathers inserted on it.

It is the current King of the Southern Region, Shan Yu!

"That's the King of the Southern Region, he's so beautiful!"

"What a beautiful exotic picture. It's worth dying to see this scene."

"How can they control so many ferocious beasts? Are you not afraid of the ferocious beasts being disobedient and suddenly rioting?"

"What are you thinking? The southern region is a mountainous area, and these ferocious beasts are raised by many small people, so how can they be rioted?"

People all sighed as they looked at the getting closer and closer Southern Region teams.

As the team continued to approach, when the team in the southern region reached the city gate, the eyes of the people also flashed and became extremely boiling.

Because, they all felt the domineering aura of those ferocious beasts.

"roar!"

The roar of the beast shook off.

It made the people subconsciously take a step back, and they all felt scared. After all, it was indeed the first time for many ordinary people to watch the ferocious beast at such a close distance.

At this moment, a middle-aged man in black court uniform walked out of the city gate and quickly walked to the white jade elephant.

"Qin Yuan, Minister of Rites, welcome the King of Southern Region!" Qin Yuan, Minister of Rites, gave a deep salute, and then waved to the soldiers behind him.

Suddenly, all the soldiers gave in.

According to the etiquette of the Great Xia Dynasty, the Supreme Lord Lin Mubai personally led all civil and military officials to wait at the main entrance of the palace. Then, the welcome at the city gate naturally fell on him.

"Woo!" The horn of the southern region slowly sounded.

The team moved forward again, passing through the East Gate of Yanjing City. Under the leadership of Qin Yuan, the Minister of Rites, he accepted the ceremony of the people on both sides of the streets while walking towards the palace.

...

The gate of Pingyang Mansion.

Wen Dabao's complexion is very good today, with a proud look on his face. He always sways when walking, which is completely different from the usual nodding and bowing.

In fact, since he left today, more than a dozen young men from aristocratic families were waiting outside the gate of Wen Mansion, some invited Wen Dabao to appreciate flowers, some invited Wen Dabao to taste wine, and some invited Wen Dabao to visit Qixingfang...

For all this.

Wen Dabao refused.

The reason is very simple. His father told him a supreme truth. Only by learning to refuse can you get more.

Wen Dabao didn't understand this truth two days ago, but now he understands it very well, because, two days ago and two days later, the things in the hands of the young masters of the aristocratic families had already been replaced.

From the original gadgets to the current antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and even silver notes...

"Reject, you must refuse again. Only by constantly rejecting can you get more!" Wen Dabao endured the temptation of these materials in front of him and rejected all the "good intentions" of the young masters of the aristocratic family.

Then, he was rejected.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wen, Your Highness, has an order, and I will refuse to see guests today." The guards guarding Pingyang Mansion directly stopped Wen Dabao who was about to walk in.

"Brother Li, don't know me anymore? I am Dabao? Your Highness, the princess, can't even disappear from me, right?" Wen Dabao is still very familiar with Pingyang Mansion these days.

The guards guarding the gate also took his money.

This also made him unobstructed when entering and leaving Pingyang Mansion during this period, and he never thought that he would be stopped outside the door.

"Your Highness the Princess has an order, no one will see you!"

"Uh..." Wen Dabao looked at the merciless guard and finally sighed helplessly. Will there be retribution?

When you are rejecting others, you are also rejected by others?

But……

Why did Pingyang and Fang Zhengzhi not see him?

No!

When I was the Minister of the Secretariat, I could enter Pingyang Mansion at any time, but now I have become the Minister of Shangshu, why have I disappeared?

Wen Dabao couldn't figure it out, but the bright spear in the hands of the guards at the door made him understand that he wanted to break into Pingyang Mansion unless he was tired of living.

Shaking his head, Wen Dabao didn't think much about it, so he turned around and walked towards the palace.

After all, today is the day when the King of Southern Regions enters Beijing.

It would be a pity if you don't watch such a lively atmosphere.

Pingyang Mansion is right next to the palace and is closest to it. Wen Dabao originally wanted to find a high place in Pingyang Mansion to enjoy the magnificent scenery.

But now it seems...

But I could only go outside the palace to squeeze in.

Although he was a little unwilling to give up, he still speeded up and rushed towards the direction of the palace.

Soon, we arrived at the main entrance of the palace. At this moment, the main entrance of the palace had been surrounded by water. Two rows of imperial guards holding spears and wearing golden armor stopped a group of people watching the fun outside. Inside the main entrance, the head of the Supreme Lord Lin Mubai stood civil and military officials.

Wen Dabao's eyes soon saw Pingyang standing beside the side of the Saint Lin Mubai, wearing a golden silk red dress and a proud face. He was slightly stunned, and then he was relieved.

"So Your Highness the Princess has arrived long ago?" Wen Dabao seemed to understand why he was dying in front of Pingyang Mansion. However, what he didn't understand was why Pingyang clearly arrived at the palace but the guards didn't say it?

besides……

Where did Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu go?

"Woo!"

At this moment, the melodious horn also came from a distance, interrupting Wen Dabao's thinking. Then, the vast southern region team also appeared in the sight of the people.

The roar of the ferocious beast and the fierce aura immediately made the people on both sides of the street retreat.

"Wow, the white jade elephant, that is the overlord of the ferocious beasts, and the Silver Horned Wolf Rider. Is that the Silver Horned Wolf Rider? The most elite army in the Southern Region!" Wen Dabao quickly put down his questions, squeezed into the crowd, tiptoed, stretched his neck, and looked at the southern region team getting closer and closer, full of excitement.

As the Southern Region team continued to approach, the people who were originally stalking the palace gate also retreated one after another, giving way to a wider avenue.

The emperor Lin Mubai looked equally good today.

A golden dragon robe was blowing gently in the spring breeze, and behind him, four palace maids were carefully holding a large golden umbrella that blocked the sun.

In addition, there are princes and princesses, and they are listed on both sides of the Saint Lin Mubai. Among them, they are naturally led by Prince Lin Tianrong, Duan Wang Lin Xinjue and Pingyang.

The ninth prince Lin Yun also arrived at the gate of the palace today, but he stood very far.

The civil and military officials, led by Xing Yuanguo of Zhenguo and Chi Hong of Shenhoufu, were quietly waiting behind the saint Lin Mubai and the princes. Each of them had a faint smile on their faces, showing the kindness of the Great Xia Dynasty.

"King of the Southern Region, here!" The voice of Qin Yuan, the Minister of Rites, rang out at this time. The sound was loud enough for all the people at the gate of the palace to hear it clearly.

As the voice of Qin Yuan, the Minister of Rites, the vast southern territory team finally stopped, and ferocious beasts made low roars.

"Music!"

"Journey!"

“…”

One by one, one sound comes one after another.

As the sound rang out, the melodious ritual music also sounded, and bright red satin flew in the air. Nearly a hundred women in bright red long skirts fell from the sky, and finally fell on the red carpet laid at the entrance of the palace.

Every woman holds a bright long sword in her hands.

"Swish!"

As the tip of the sword broke through the air, nearly a hundred women in red long skirts also began to dance.

The Great Xia Dynasty governed the country with courtesy, loyalty, benevolence and filial piety.

The sword dance has always been one of the etiquettes for the Great Xia Dynasty to welcome the most important guests. In addition, there are poetry, calligraphy and painting, which will be displayed at the same time as the sword dance is performed.

After the sword dance and poetry, calligraphy and painting are completed, we welcome the King of the Southern Region to the palace, and then all civil and military officials feast together, the whole country celebrates together, and cultural exchanges between the country and the country.

It is obvious that today is a peaceful and lively day.

However……

This peace did not seem to last, because the women in red dresses who were dancing suddenly stopped, and the reason for them to stop was because of a young man.

A young man walked out of the crowd.

He didn't walk fast, on the contrary, was still very slow, but when he walked out, all the women in the red dress holding the long sword were focused on him.

Not only them, but also the Imperial Guards guarding in front of the crowd were also surprised, because they had not noticed that anyone had bypassed them.

By the time they realized it, the young man had already walked among nearly a hundred women wearing red long skirts and holding long swords.

He did not look at the prince Lin Mubai, nor did he look at the prince, prince Duan, Pingyang and other princesses and civil and military officials standing behind the prince Lin Mubai. He just quietly looked at the tall white jade elephant in front of him and the woman sitting on the white jade elephant.
