First emperor of the human race

Chapter 132 Strange tacit understanding
"Yuanba, let the emissary enter the city."

Sima Yi shouted.

"Open the city gate!"

Li Yuanba gave a loud shout.

"Squeak."

The gate of the city was wide open, and soldiers came out with swords and guns everywhere, shouting in unison: "Envoys, please enter the city."

"go in."

Li Yuanba glanced at the First Prince and the others, and shouted, but the orc envoys did not dare to move.

Li Yuanba stood at the gate of the city with a pair of hammers in his hand. Who would dare to walk over?

Don't dare!

If there is something wrong with this lunatic, and he hits it with a hammer, he will die!
Li Yuanba also knew that these people were afraid of him, so he couldn't help but sneered, turned and walked into the city.

It wasn't until Li Yuanba disappeared that the orc envoys dared to enter the city.

Sima Yi personally walked down the tower to greet him, smiled and cupped his hands to the orc prince, and said, "I've heard for a long time that His Majesty is very handsome and promising at a young age. When I saw him today, he really is extraordinary."

"Are all humans so hypocritical?"

The orc prince said coldly: "You and I have never met each other, and I haven't shown up at this moment. How do you know that I am handsome? I am young and promising?"

Obviously, the orc prince still held his breath in his heart. He had come from a long way, and he had lost most of the members of the peace-seeking team before he met Emperor Daxia.

This is so frustrating.

Even if the first orc prince is well-bred, he can't swallow this breath.

"Your Majesty is right."

Sima Yi smiled, he didn't take it seriously, cupped his hands, and changed the subject: "Your Highness must be tired from coming all the way, I have already arranged for people to prepare accommodation and meals, please Your Highness come with me. "

"The body of Gu's entourage is still lying outside the city. How can you let Gu eat it? How can you sleep peacefully?"

The orc first prince's voice was hoarse and full of anger.

Sima Yi smiled and said: "It's okay, I know the rules of the tribe, and I will send someone to collect the corpse and send it back to the Beastman Empire."

Sima Yi has always been kind and friendly. As the saying goes, no matter how angry the orc prince is, it is not easy to display his anger. After all, this is his territory.

"Let's avoid the meal and accommodation first, Gu has come, let your emperor come to see Gu."

The orc prince took a deep breath and said, "The matter of seeking peace is related to the border between the two countries. It is extremely important and cannot be neglected."

The entourage and soldiers behind Sima Yi couldn't help frowning when they heard what the orc prince said.

What you said made me feel so uncomfortable.

You are a foreign prince seeking peace, what qualifications do you have to ask the emperor to come to see you?It should be you who went to see our emperor!
Sima Yi's eyes flickered with gloom, and then he smiled and said, "Your Highness, you don't know. The emperor has been working on government affairs during the day, and now he has gone to bed. As a subject, it is better to wait patiently. The matter of seeking peace can be postponed."

Sima Yi's words, inside and out, were implying that the orc prince was listed as the emperor's courtier alongside himself.

The orc prince is considered as the emperor's subject, so isn't the orc empire also a vassal of the Great Xia?
The soldiers and entourage shouted in their hearts.

You can taunt with words, but our Minister of the Military Machine Pavilion is not a vegetarian either.

"Hmph, what a sharp-tongued person."

The orc prince snorted coldly, and said, "Lead the way ahead."

"good."

Sima Yi nodded and led the way ahead.

A group of people have their own thoughts, talking cautiously and testing each other along the way.

"Please Your Highness, stay here tonight."

Sima Yi brought the orc prince to an old house in the city.

"You let our Highness live in this kind of place?"

The orc guard couldn't help but spoke, his face was full of anger: "You are too presumptuous!"

Is this where people live?

The dilapidated mud house has only one yard and three "wings" with thatched roofs, but there are still dozens of people in the peace envoy.

How can I live here?
And the conditions here, no matter how you look at it, it is not a place for princes and nobles to live.

"There are no other vacant houses in the city, so we can only place His Highness here."

Sima Yi cupped his hands apologetically, "His Royal Highness please forgive me."

"Ah."

The orc prince nodded, but he could bear it. He led the people into the courtyard without saying a word, and ordered the guards to clean the small courtyard full of dust and cobwebs.

Sima Yi watched the orc prince enter the courtyard, waited for a while, and then left.

A few groups of people who climbed to the rooftop quietly approached the courtyard, and a group of Great Xia Tiejun firmly guarded the courtyard.

It is both protection and supervision.

Half an hour later, the imperial palace, the imperial study room.

"Can you see the orc envoy for peace?"

"If you go back to Dijun, I see you."

"What do you think of this man?"

Su Chen took a sip of the tea, and asked Sima Yi with a smile.

Sima Yi pondered slightly, and replied: "It's hard to say, this orc prince has a withdrawn personality, with a hood covering his face, and his ministers tried every means, and he didn't mention anything related to the peace."

"He repeatedly emphasized that we must wait to see the emperor before we can discuss matters related to peace."

Sima Yi smiled wryly, and after saluting respectfully, he asked, "Dijun, what should we do next?"

The envoy for peace has already entered the city, and a mysterious eldest prince has arrived. No one can see through this guy, even Sima Yi's temptations are unsuccessful.

Take tonight's dismounting as an example, if it were an ordinary envoy for peace, he would already be so angry that he couldn't restrain it, but the orc prince could continue to endure.

Whether it was Sima Yi's soft treatment or Li Yuanba's strong suppression, he did not reveal the slightest flaw, nor did he lose his balance.

Su Chen smiled, and said lightly: "No matter what his purpose in coming to Daxia is, it's all under the banner of seeking peace."

"Since you are asking for peace, you have to put your identity in order."

Su Chen took a deep look at Sima Yi: "I don't want to see this orc prince these few days, so you can make arrangements yourself."

"Here."

Sima Yi saluted deeply, and then took his leave.

The emperor wanted to hang out with the orc prince for a few days to see what kind of strategy this guy had. After all, it was too abnormal for the beast king to send the orc prince as a peace envoy.

Early the next morning, the news that the peace envoy of the orc empire had entered the imperial capital spread throughout the entire imperial capital.

Regardless of whether it was civil or military officials, the powerful families already knew the news, and they sent their subordinates to inquire.

Last night, the Great Xia Tiejun dismounted, the appearance of the Lion Guard Chief, Li Yuanba's threat, Sima Yi's cold arrangement... One after another, last night's events were dug up and known to everyone.

Some people were shocked by the strength of Chief Lion Guard and Li Yuanba, and some further guessed the emperor's attitude towards the orc prince based on Sima Yi's arrangement for the orc peace envoy.

For a while, the public opinion and enthusiasm after the establishment of the imperial capital Taixue subsided, and everyone's eyes fell on the orc prince.

Compared with the founding of the Imperial Academy, the fact that the ever-powerful Orc Empire sent peace envoys is even more exciting, and it deserves the attention of any class in the Great Xia Dynasty.

The emperor in the palace did not order to summon the orc prince, which made the people who had been waiting for the final result itchy.

The orc prince who was at the center of the national public opinion was not in a hurry, except for the occasional time when he sent people to the Military Machine Pavilion to inquire about Sima Yi and meet the emperor, he always lived in seclusion.

I just heard people say that the orc prince often stands under the city wall of the imperial capital, with a hood covering his face, staring up at the city wall, no one knows what he is doing.

It's just a city wall. Although it is taller and thicker, what's so good about it?

Such a weird orc prince is hard to fathom.

Not only was the orc prince elusive, but the overall atmosphere in the imperial capital was also elusive.

It is obvious that the peace envoy has already entered the imperial capital, but the situation has not seen the next development for a long time.

It was as if there was an unspoken understanding between the emperor and the orc prince.

I don't summon you, and you don't rush to do things.

I will be my emperor and handle my government affairs.

You are your envoy, traveling around the imperial capital.

On the contrary, Sima Yi was very diligent and often visited or invited the orc prince to be a guest in the mansion.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Sima Yi wants to get some words out of the orc prince's mouth, and try his best to find out the orc prince's intentions and cards before the orc prince formally meets the emperor.

It's just a pity that the civil and military officials in the emperor and the aristocratic family members did not find any valuable news and intelligence.

Such a strange atmosphere of tacit understanding has been continuously brewing.

Until half a month later, an imperial decree came from the palace.
