Chapter 364 Actually, I'm here to destroy you

This night in Loulan was the most stable night that Liu Yu had ever slept since he left the war. After taking a shower, he changed into clean clothes, had a hurry to have some dinner, and slept with a soft pillow in the high bed and soft pillow, and he slept from the night before the sun was at half past the next day.

When he woke up, he stretched his waist and looked at the beautiful scenery of Loulan City outside in the sunny sun. Liu Yu felt as if he was in heaven. He even thought that if his family moved here to spend the rest of his life in the future, he would be happy. Thinking of his beautiful wife and concubine in the Central Plains, Liu Yu sighed that he had lost the interest in viewing the scenery.

After rushing to eat some pasta and snacks sent by the Loulan people, Liu Yu wanted to follow Che into the palace to attend the welcome banquet there.

Liu Yu thought that when he wanted to meet the Queen and his wife in Loulan next, he would always be generous and decent, so he wanted to ask Chetu for a few words about the greetings from Loulan people. Chetu said, "Her Majesty the Queen will not attend the banquet today, so you don't have to worry."

Liu Yuxin said that this Queen Loulan is quite arrogant. Could it be that she is pretending to be sick like the King of Yuezhi, and is actually preparing for political struggle? After Liu Yu asked in detail, in order to prevent Liu Yu from thinking that their Loulan State was not well received, he finally stammered: "Her Majesty the Queen has just given birth to the Fourth Princess, so it is not convenient to meet people."

"oh."

Liu Yu suddenly understood that the relationship was that Queen Loulan was in confinement. After all, women were not like men. They had the responsibility to pass on the next generation in their families. When they were engaged in politics, they would occasionally be unable to take into account state affairs like taking maternity leave.

"What about your husband? He can't attend?" Liu Yu was also very interested in the man behind the queen.

He did not understand Liu Yu's purpose and said the truth: "Your Highness Wang Fu wants to take care of Her Majesty the Queen, so he will naturally not attend."

When Liu Yu heard this, he didn't naturally think of the national treasure couple, Su Bi and Chai Jin, who were far away in Chang'an City. He thought that if Su Bi became the queen, he would take maternity leave or something, and Chai Hulu would definitely take care of him like a housewife.

Liu Yu entered the Loulan Palace with a little regret. Because of the many trees and influenced by the Central Plains culture, the welcome banquets were made of tables and chairs instead of couches. The tables and chairs were arranged one by one, just like the wealthy families in Chang'an City invited a banquet. The Loulan State officials attended the ceremony were not as many as Liu Yu saw yesterday, and most of the people attending the meeting today were men.

Could it be that if you don’t have enough official rank, you can’t attend today?

Brukhan still served as the queen to entertain Liu Yu, but because of the return of the national teacher, Brukhan's status at today's banquet was significantly reduced, but he still introduced Liu Yu again as the host to the Loulan Kingdom participants. Afterwards, he explained: "Everyone here today will speak the language of the Cong Dynasty, so the envoys do not have to be restrained, just treat it as returning to their own country."

Only then did Liu Yu understand why few people come today, and his feelings were restricted in "proficient in foreign languages". Liu Yu saw some sitting behind him with a look of confusion, basically belonging to the kind of "simple and fill in the numbers". He thought that although there were a few people in Loulan Kingdom who knew Chinese, there were not too many. Liu Yu didn't expose it, as if he was pretending to be confused.

The seats of Loulan people are not distributed according to their official ranks, and Liu Yu did not sit in the first place. There was a clue next to Liu Yu. Most of the seats on Liu Yu are young, and the opposite is old ministers. Brukhan is still standing like yesterday, holding a wine pot and a wine glass. It seems that he is not going to sit down and is preparing to stand to host the banquet.

"Encuse me, we received good news last night." Brukhan said with a smile, "There is a Shun Dynasty army fighting against the Tubo people. We have already found a way to contact them. I believe that it will not take long before the soldiers of our two countries can fight side by side."

Is there a Shunchao army coming to the Western Regions?

Liu Yu was a little stunned. In his opinion, this matter was a bit strange. After all, the main force of Shunchao is now preparing to wipe out the Turks in one fell swoop. Liu Yu left the battlefield for only more than a month. Even if the front line withdraws troops, there is no reason to attack Tubo immediately. After all, it will take some time to recuperate when the war ends. If the military power is taken back by Min Shaoqing, he will also need time to suppress the dissidents and control the entire army.

Liu Yu asked: "Can Brutianzuo know which army is from Shunchao?"

"I don't know for the time being, but there will be news soon."

Seeing Brukhan's sure appearance, Liu Yu felt that this little face didn't seem to be lying, which means that he was about to meet his own army in a foreign country. Liu Yu hoped that it was Qi Fang and the others, but when he thought that it was Min Shaoqing and Ma Feng's people were more likely. Only Min Shaoqing and Ma Feng would be so ignorant of the importance of sending troops to fight Tubo. Liu Yu felt a bit dangerous in his expectation, after all, Min Shaoqing had harmed him once.

Because the banquet was not attended by the Queen of Loulan, it was relatively not so restrained. First, it was toasted, and Bluhan was also very considerate that Liu Yu might be "unable to drink". He also used fruit wine and mixed it with water. He would not get drunk after drinking the light-flavored juice that only makes people want to go to the toilet. After a round of toasts, Liu Yu felt the urge to go to the toilet. At this time, Bluhan brought up a topic at the right time, which was the profound culture of the Central Plains.

"The Central Plains has a long culture, and we Loulan people also yearn for it very much. We are proficient in poetry, songs, and essays." Bluhan asked at Liu Yu.

Liu Yu really wanted to say nothing, which saved the trouble, but saying it would make these Loulan people feel that the Central Plains people were just like this, which would damage the national prestige. Liu Yu had to humbly say, "I only know a little bit."

"Oh? How much is a little bit?" Brukhan continued to ask.

Liu Yuxin said that if you give you three points of color, you will open a dyeing workshop. Could it be that you still have to find someone to take the school? Liu Yu still smiled on his face and said, "I probably remember some famous poems and songs, so it is difficult to get into the elegant hall if you write them yourself."

Seeing that Liu Yu seemed to be in a difficult situation, Bluhan stopped asking questions at the right time, but instead recited a poem describing the Central Plains himself. Some of the others also recited a few poems. Some of them had heard of Liu Yu, and some had not heard of him, but Liu Yu knew that these people had been prepared. It was very likely that they had just crammed the Buddha's feet.

Finally, Bluhan said with a little disappointment: "It's a pity that I can't find the poems describing our Loulan in the poems in the Central Plains."

"Who said no, I have heard one."

Liu Yu said this, all the Loulan people present were very interested. Before today, they rushed to find the collection of poems in the Central Plains, and many people mentioned "Loulan" and "Lan", but they did not mention "Loulan" at all. Bruhan proudly said to the people present: "This shows that the people in the Central Plains also have some understanding of us. Envoys, you might as well speak this poem in public and let us take a look."

"The long clouds in Qinghai are dark in the snow-capped mountains, and the lonely city looks at Yumen Pass from afar. The yellow sand is wearing golden armor for hundreds of battles, and will never return until Loulan is destroyed."

Liu Yu chanted Wang Changling's poem with great enthusiasm. The Loulan people present seemed to have eaten yellow lotus, and anyone who could understand them looked at Liu Yu with extremely surprised eyes.

Liu Yu smiled awkwardly and said, "I remembered the last sentence wrongly. Actually, it is, but Loulan will not return it." (To be continued...)
