Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 238
It's just that... the envoys from the Liang State came to the Chen State to personally escort the tributes every year, which repeatedly caused difficulties for the Chen State.

Mainly because the Liang envoy was too arrogant and domineering!

But yes, you, the Chen Kingdom, are so humble that you have to pay tribute to others, and people are a bit arrogant. You think you are the master of the heaven, and you don’t take the people of the Chen Kingdom seriously... so it becomes inevitable!
Therefore, receiving the envoys from Liang State has become a "long-standing difficulty" that Chen State must go through every year.

Whoever receives the Liang envoy will be humiliated!

After being humiliated, there was nowhere to complain, so I had to bear it for the rest of my life.

There was a big commotion in history. A certain Chen State receptionist was too tough and couldn't stand what the Liang State envoy did in Chen State. He argued with him and was killed on the spot by the Liang State envoy...

Even if the receptionist from his country died, the Liang envoy escaped unscathed in the end!
Since then, almost everyone has avoided the responsibility of receiving Liang's envoys.

If anyone is unlucky enough to accept this mission by accident, he will serve the envoy of Liang State cautiously and cautiously, not daring to disobey any request of the envoy of Liang State...

It’s not a human being’s reputation to end up inside and outside!
Therefore, those who receive envoys from the Liang Kingdom have to take great risks, and it is easy for them to be strangers inside and outside... This job is really not done by humans!

Therefore, when Liu Wencai heard that Zhu Xiuyuan was going to receive the Liang State envoy, he was so frightened that he turned around and ran to the dock, hoping to escape by boat and leave this place of right and wrong.

In the back hall of the Nazhou Yamen, the unusual reactions of the bureaucrats explained why they all shied away.

Because this matter is really difficult to handle!

In addition, Zhu Xiuyuan also understood Liu Wencai's expression of "self-sacrifice and then self-movation". Dare to love Liu Wencai for really risking his life to accompany a gentleman!

However, Zhu Xiuyuan has already taken over the responsibility of receiving the envoys from the Liang Kingdom, so there is nothing he can do but bite the bullet and go!

They only stayed here for one night, and they would be over with a little patience.

……

……

Time soon came when the Liang envoy arrived.

This morning.

Jiangzhou Wharf.

Jiangzhou Inspector Dong Cheng, along with Jiangzhou Governor Li Linzhou, Jiangzhou Sima Zhu Xiuyuan, as well as officials of all sizes, such as Recorder Joining the Army and Liucao Joining the Army, were waiting here early.

Of course, Liu Wencai, who clamored to "sacrifice his life to accompany a gentleman," is also indispensable.

Although Zhu Xiuyuan was the one who received the Liang State envoy, when the Liang State envoy first arrived in Jiangzhou, all local officials had to go to the dock to greet him.

This is the etiquette established by the Ministry of Etiquette of the imperial court.

After all the officials had finished welcoming him, Zhu Xiuyuan received him alone.

On the huge pier, as far as the eye can see, there are a lot of round collar official robes.According to different ranks, there are purple robes, scarlet robes, and green robes.

Other than that, no one else was waiting.

The berths of the pier were empty as there were no ships moored there.

As a result, the entire pier seemed relatively quiet.

Zhu Xiuyuan, Liu Wencai, and Li Linzhou stood behind Dong Cheng, listening to the chatter of officials behind them, such as joining the army and joining the military.

He, Liu Wencai and Li Linzhou chatted from time to time, and looked at the broad river surface from time to time.

"It's coming, it's coming, the ship of Liang's envoy is coming..."

A sudden shout attracted the attention of all the officials on the dock.

Including Zhu Xiuyuan, they all looked towards the distance on the river.I saw a number of ships appearing far away on the river.

Because they were too far away, the flags on the ships could not be seen clearly, so it was impossible to tell whether these ships were from the Liang Kingdom.

However, when the Liang State envoy visited, the river in Chen State had already been cleared, and no ships could launch...

Then it is obvious that the ship that appears in the distance must be the ship of the Liang State envoy!

"Everyone be quiet!"

Dong Cheng took a careful look at the ships on the river, then turned around and scanned the officials again, "The envoy from Liang is about to arrive, let's be prepared, don't lose the face of me, Chen!"

"Yes, sir!" All the officials agreed, then kept silent, straightened their clothes, and stood in neat rows.

The big ship on the river is getting closer and closer.

Zhu Xiuyuan looked up and felt slightly shocked.

It turned out that the Liang State envoy brought an entire fleet, and the entire fleet consisted of more than 30 large sailing ships!
Zhu Xiuyuan took a closer look and found that among the more than 30 large ships, 27 or [-] were "troop transport ships", with rows of tiger and wolf soldiers neatly lined up on them...

Zhu Xiu looked at these tiger and wolf soldiers from afar and shook his head secretly.

Sure enough, just by looking at their standing posture, it can be seen that these Liang soldiers are far beyond what Chen Guozhi's soldiers can match, it's too obvious!
Even people like Zhu Xiuyuan who don't understand ancient military can see it at a glance...

After looking at those "troop ships", Zhu Xiuyuan's eyes returned to the first large ship.

The largest ship in the fleet, it has three levels and looks like a cruise ship.

As the fleet got closer, Zhu Xiuyuan could already see the crowd standing on the deck of the big ship very clearly.

Zhu Xiuyuan and other Jiangzhou officials all looked at Liang's ships, and the people on the decks of Liang's ships also looked over.

As they got closer, Liang's ships got closer again. They began to slow down and prepare to dock.

In just a few breaths, the ship of Liang Guo's envoy docked!
While all the boatmen were busy fixing the ship's cables to the bollards of the pier, Zhu Xiuyuan looked at the person at the front of the deck.

Among them, the most eye-catching ones are two young people, a man and a woman.

The man was about eighteen or nineteen years old. He was tall and handsome, with a face like a crown jewel. He was very well-dressed. You could tell at a glance that he was a well-educated and wealthy young man.

It's just that this young man is a little thinner and looks a bit frail.

The woman was close to the young man, about sixteen or seventeen years old.

She has a face like the full moon, almond-shaped eyes and peach cheeks, fair eyebrows and picturesque eyebrows, and bright and beautiful clothes. She is a rare beauty.

This woman is not only beautiful, but her face is also kind, gentle and sunny, with a faint smile that always blooms on her face and never dissipates.

Her eyes were full of curiosity. She was next to the young master and looking around. She was like a newborn baby, full of curiosity about everything.

Except for this man and one woman, the others were all middle-aged people wearing official robes, all with beards and strong bodies. Although they looked like civilian officials, they looked a bit tough as military generals.

Soon, the Liang Guo envoy disembarked.

The man and woman walked in the front.

Zhu Xiuyuan knew in his heart that this man and woman were probably the most noble in the entire Liang Guo envoy group.

Because the two of them not only wore casual clothes very casually, but also walked at the front.
