Hearing this, Lu Wan couldn't help but raise his hand and interrupt, "Did they not leave? It's only been a few days, how could they go back to Rouran and come back?"
Shen Yan and Lu Daxin both laughed when they heard this, so the truth might be like this, but why did it sound so funny coming from Lu Wan's mouth?
"We also guessed so, but after they left the capital, no one was sent to follow them, so we don't know what the situation is."
After this little episode was over, Lu Daxin continued to introduce the other three countries.
"These two countries are relatively large, so we should mainly guard against them. The other three countries are relatively obedient, and their national strength is also very average, so we don't need to be afraid of them."
Shen Yan also suddenly intervened, because these three countries were attacked by Shen Yan at that time, and later became three vassal states. Although they were still ruled by their own country, they still had to pay a lot of things to Dongxia every year.
"That being said, their three effects are only connected to us. If they were to unite, it would be enough to cause us trouble."
Lu Dashin said worriedly, what's more, this time there is also the country of Rouran and Nanman. These two countries have been eyeing the fat piece of Dongxia for a long time. A few years ago, when they saw Dongxia regain a few small pots, they must have been impatient, right?
When Lu Wan saw the names of the remaining three countries on the list, namely "Wan", "Li" and "Shu", he knew why Chen Yan didn't take them seriously.
Lu Wan had also read this part of history, but it was too complicated. However, the final result was still very obvious. The country "Wan" first annexed the other two small countries, and was finally recovered by Dongxia.
In short, the last three countries all collapsed, and Wan, which lasted the longest, only lasted about 200 years.
"But this time they didn't send a prince or princess, they just sent a few ministers. They probably didn't take it too seriously. They just discussed it with the other two countries, so they came together."
Lu Daxin looked at the names of the delegations they mentioned and basically recognized them, so he roughly knew who they were.
After understanding the general situation, Lu Dashin assigned a task to Lu Wan, asking him to go with the Minister of Rites to set up the banquet venue, while he would go with other officials to welcome them.
Chen Yan was bound to go out, so he couldn't be with Lu Wan, so he assigned two guards to Lu Wan to protect her safety.
"Foreign delegations entering Beijing are faced with many dangers. The two guards must not let them leave you too far away. Always pay attention to protecting your own safety. Safety comes first."
Shen Yan reminded him again and again, and Lu Wan had no choice but to nod, indicating that he already knew.
The standard of the state banquet was quite high, so Lu Wan and his friends started preparing for it early in the morning. Lu Wan always had the habit of staying in bed, so he climbed out of bed early because of Shi Qinghuayi.
The foreign delegations had indeed made quite a fuss, and the number of people who came was also very impressive. They were wearing a variety of uniforms, so one could tell at a glance what country they were from.
"Regent of Dongxia, long time no see." The Rouran prince seemed to be very familiar with Shen Yan. He walked to the front with a smile and hugged Shen Yan warmly.
Chen Yan snorted disdainfully when he heard his words, and then said unforgivingly: "It's been a long time since we last met, but the distance between Rouran and the capital is still quite far. It's hard for the Rouran prince to go back and forth within a month."
After hearing what Chen Yan said, the Rouran prince was not embarrassed and said with a smile: "Of course we have to do two different things twice, so that we can show how much we value you."
Seeing how close the two of them were, Yelu Changqi on the side became a little anxious, and he also walked forward, clenched his right fist, and touched it on the left shoulder. This was the etiquette of their Xiongnu side.
"Regent of Dongxia, we haven't seen each other for a long time. I wonder if you still remember me. I am the second prince of the Xiongnu, Yelu Changqi."
Chen Yan still had some good feelings towards him. They had met on the battlefield before, and the two of them had some sympathy for each other. However, this Yelu Changqi was still rather reckless.
For Shen Yan, his martial arts skills are indeed good, but his personality does not have an advantage in the royal family, so he has always been suppressed by his brother.
"Yelü Changqi, long time no see. Has your little red horse grown up?" Shen Yan said jokingly.
Hearing his words, Yelu Changqi's face suddenly turned red. When he and Shen Yan clashed swords on the battlefield before, he was still young, so he was defeated.
At that time he was still young and energetic, so he found an excuse for himself and refused to admit that it was because he was not as skilled as others.
"It's because my little red horse is still small and can't outrun your tall horse. When my little red horse grows up, it will definitely kill you."
Thinking of how young and ignorant she was back then, Yelu Changqi's face turned as red as a monkey's butt, but she was a carefree person and didn't take it seriously.
"The little red horse grew up, but the relationship between our two countries has become friendly, so there is no chance for us to compete again. This time I came to Dongxia just to compete with you again."
Yelu Changqi gestured at the armor he was wearing, then said with a smile.
A group of people burst into laughter, and then the other countries introduced themselves to each other. Basically, everyone saw each other every two or three years, and they were all the same people last time, so they were relatively familiar with each other.
