Chapter 214 Jiaoli Chen Ping's Mission to the Xiongnu

Noticing Jiao Li's actions, Chen Ping smiled and said, "Don't worry, Ambassador. I won't do anything rash or ruin everything!"

After hearing what Chen Ping said, Jiao Li breathed a sigh of relief. This man was handsome and looked quite upright, but sometimes the words he said were quite scary.

Jiao Li knew that this man, like his brother Liu, was also specially invited by His Majesty to Xianyang to watch the ceremony before the emperor's coronation ceremony, and this time he was accompanying him on the mission to the Xiongnu.

Along the way, this person didn't talk much, but what he said was always shocking, and he could often get straight to the point, which shows his talent.

In fact, when sending an envoy to the Xiongnu, the first thing Ying Zheng thought of was to use Liu Ji as the envoy. Liu Ji's unique ability to communicate with people made him a great envoy, which might bring back great benefits to the Qin Dynasty.

But Ying Zheng thought again, "Be prepared for the worst." Liu Ji was his top-notch mascot, the only one in the world. If he were to be killed by the Huns, where could he find another one?
This is the one and only Emperor Gaozu of Han in the world. Even though it is an unfinished version, it is the only one in the entire server and must not be lost.

After some thought, Ying Zheng was still reluctant to let Liu Ji take risks, so he chose to go to Pei County before the ceremony to invite Liu Ji's Jiao Li.

In order to ensure the smooth implementation of Jiao Li's mission, Ying Zheng specially assigned Chen Ping to the mission.

Because according to the historical materials he got from Li Nian, Chen Ping was a very intelligent person in the founding group of the Han Dynasty. Having him accompany the delegation would not only allow him to give advice when the delegation encountered problems, but also train Chen Ping's abilities.

Today, the founding team of the Han Dynasty no longer belongs to Pei Gong, but to Ying Zheng. Even Pei Gong has to work for him.

Therefore, under Ying Zheng's special arrangement, Chen Ping and Jiao Li appeared here.

While chatting with Jiao Li, Chen Ping was thinking about what happened in the past few months.

Looking back a few months ago, he was still a villager, but now he has participated in the Qin Emperor's enthronement ceremony, been summoned by the Qin Emperor, and today he was appointed by the Qin Emperor as the deputy envoy to the Xiongnu.

He can be said to be a model of "being a farmer in the morning and entering the emperor's palace in the evening". He has a bright future. If nothing unexpected happens, he will become an important official of the Qin Dynasty in the future.

Chen Ping had imagined a day when he would be very successful, but he never thought it would happen so suddenly. Everything happened so fast that it felt like a dream to him.

At this moment, a group of Huns came over, causing Chen Ping to focus his thoughts and look over.

I saw a dozen Huns riding horses, escorted by a team of Hun cavalry. Most of them were middle-aged and should be the core rulers of this generation of Huns.

When these people saw the Qin envoys, they all smiled. Even the man in the front who was suspected to be the Huns' Chanyu had a heroic smile on his face.

This made Chen Ping further deepen his judgment of the Huns in his heart. This generation of Huns had their backbone broken by General Li Mu, and they could not be called a wolf pack on the grassland at all.

How can the wolf pack be so fierce when even the wolf king is a dog?

At this time, Chen Ping thought of a rumor that was widely known in Xianyang one day: Master Li Nian killed Maodun in anger for Princess Shunying.

He had long thought that there was another hidden story, and now he was finally sure: Prince Li Nian might have killed Maodun for the sake of Princess Shunying, but he probably also wanted to get rid of the next generation of the Xiongnu king in advance.

Master Li Nian may think that Maodun is a great figure. If he is allowed to become the Khan of the Xiongnu, he will reshape the backbone of the Xiongnu and lead them from dogs to wolves, which will be detrimental to the Qin Dynasty.

"But what Master Li Nian planned was correct. If Ping were in Master Li Nian's position, he would do the same."

A pack of dogs is definitely easier to deal with than a pack of wolves. If possible, try to make the Huns a group of dogs that are harmless to the Qin Dynasty forever.

This was exactly the purpose of their mission this time, not only to obtain something useful for Daqin from the Xiongnu, but also to help these Xiongnu dogs consolidate their position and not be overthrown by the young Xiongnu wolves below. Seeing the flattering smiles that the Xiongnu leaders had to squeeze out of their faces, as if they were born out of fear, Chen Ping was even more satisfied.

When Jiao Li and Chen Ping were looking at this group of Huns, Touman and a group of Hun leaders also saw them.

When they saw the Qin cavalry escorting the delegation, Touman and others seemed to have returned to the battlefield of that year and saw the terrifying Zhao army led by Li Mu.

No, the Qin army was probably even more terrifying, because they defeated the Zhao that had Li Mu and incorporated Zhao's territory into their territory.

There were only a hundred or so Qin soldiers on horseback, but they looked as if they were made of iron, lined up in neat rows like an unshakable mountain.

Only such an army can defeat the State of Zhao. The Xiongnu cavalry are simply no match for them.

They must not go to war with the Qin Dynasty. If they do, they will only be defeated, and their defeat will be even more miserable than decades ago.

Touman and the other leaders thought secretly in their hearts, and the smiles on their faces became more "sincere".

When he got closer, Touman saluted Jiaoli and Chen Ping, and said in an awkward and elegant tone: "Touman greets the envoys of the Great Qin!"

Subsequent Xiongnu leaders followed suit.

Looking at the clumsy and unfamiliar appearance of the Huns, it is obvious that they have just learned this skill not long ago, and it is learned specifically to welcome them. From this, it can be seen that the current Huns are indeed no good.

Of course, he couldn't show it on his face, so Jiao Li and Chen Ping returned the greeting: "Jiao Li (Chen Ping) of the Great Qin was sent as an envoy to your tribe by the order of the Emperor of Qin. I am honored to meet the Chanyu and you all."

When saying this, Jiao Li and Chen Ping both felt a special sense of honor and pride. They came from a powerful country, and even the Xiongnu Khan would have to salute them respectfully when he saw them!
This was probably what the Han Dynasty envoys were thinking. I have the support of the Han Dynasty. You are just a small country. If you have the guts, come and kill me?
But I have to say that it is indeed a comfortable feeling to be a VIP and a superior person in a foreign country.

After Jiao Li and Chen Ping returned the greetings, Tou Man smiled and invited, "Messengers, I have prepared a banquet in the city, please come in."

Through the translation, Jiao Li and Chen Ping understood Touman's meaning, nodded, and followed Touman into the city.

As they walked, Touman introduced Touman City to Jiaoli, Chen Ping and others: "Speaking of which, the reason I built this city was because I saw the majestic and magnificent cities in the south..."

It can be seen that although this city is different from the cities of Daqin and other countries, many aspects have been obviously borrowed from them.

After entering the city, the streets had already been cleared by Touman's men. There were only Hun soldiers standing on both sides of the street, but no Hun civilians.

However, Jiao Li and Chen Ping could still feel gazes coming from the houses on both sides of the street.

Chen Ping followed his feeling and saw that the crack of a door was quickly closed, but he had already seen the owner of that gaze.

It was a young Hun boy hiding behind the door. There was curiosity and fear, as well as anger, dissatisfaction, and an eagerness to try in his eyes.

Chen Ping thought to himself "Interesting!" A Hun leader beside him noticed his change and hurriedly asked him.

After the translation, Chen Ping smiled and replied: "Tell him I just thought of something interesting."
