"Jinbai, you are so mean. Why didn't you invite us to such a fun event?" Yi Han said dissatisfiedly.
"I was in a hurry, so I traveled at night. Who knew I would run into her? In fact, even if I didn't take action at that time, that lady could handle it. I didn't expect a woman to have such good skills."
"Really? Better than your kung fu?" The two were a little unconvinced.
"Hey, stop saying that. What's so great about my skills? They're just fancy moves that look good but are useless." Jin Bai said with a smile.
Kunmo was a few years older than them and had a calmer temperament. He immediately asked, "Jinbai, are you really going to give in to them this hunt?"
Jin Bai looked around and saw no one else, so he said, "What else can I do? Have you forgotten how much trouble I caused by beating Suha in a duel? If I show off in the hunting grounds again, will I still want to go home?"
Yi Han disagreed. "What good would going home bring? Back then, Mobei asked my father for a hostage, and my brothers' mothers and concubines all went to him to plead for mercy, but in the end, I, a motherless person, was thrown out. Over the years, no one in Loulan has ever asked if I'm alive or dead, and my father has long forgotten me. I was sad at first, but I've finally come to terms with it."
Kunmo's situation was similar. He was sent as a hostage because of his outstanding ability, which aroused the jealousy of his brothers. He slandered the old king and was sent as a hostage.
Jinbai looked at their disapproving expressions and knew that they couldn't understand, and he couldn't tell them the truth.
He just smiled and said, "I have been in Mobei for more than five years. I want to go home, but I don't want to cause any trouble at this time."
"What are you going to do when you go back?" Kunmo asked.
"Well, I want to spend some time with my mother. I really miss her after not seeing her for so many years."
After hearing this, Kunmo and Yihan fell silent. Yes, who wouldn't miss their mother?
After a long journey, Xie Wanyun's caravan finally arrived at the Mobei royal court.
After all, the convoy's baggage moved slowly, and she was a whole day behind Jin Bai.
It was early morning when her convoy arrived at the royal court.
The sun had risen, its crimson glow piercing the mist, illuminating half the sky. Shrouded in a faint morning haze, the royal court gradually dissipated, revealing a hazy golden hue under the glow of the morning glow.
The capital was divided into two distinct parts: the north and south. The north was the residential area, with countless low-rise houses appearing and disappearing in the morning mist. The streets were winding, narrow, and chaotic, with large areas of open space interspersed.
The imperial city in the south is quite different. The outlines of the city walls, corner towers and barbican are vaguely visible, and the imperial palace and government offices are surrounded by these buildings.
Xie Wanyun brought the documents for customs clearance and business trip to meet the officials of Mobei and explained her purpose.
The official smiled and said, "I've also heard of Madam Xie's great name. It's great that you're coming to the royal court now. Mobei is poor and lacks everything. Madam Xie will definitely bring prosperity to commerce. Don't worry, I will do my best to make things easier for you. It's just that the royal court can't compare to Shangjing, and the conditions are not as good."
Xie Wanyun smiled and said, "If I were only interested in pleasure, I wouldn't have come to Mobei. Therefore, I am here only to promote trade between the two sides, which is also mutually beneficial."
The official laughed heartily. "As you Central Plains people would say, Madam is truly a heroine. On behalf of the people of Mobei, I welcome you. However, according to our country's regulations, all merchants doing business in Mobei must obtain approval from His Excellency the Ilhan Prince. His Excellency is not at home right now. Madam, please find an inn and wait patiently. I'll inform you as soon as His Excellency the Prince's approval arrives."
Xie Wanyun smiled slightly, "Of course, sir, just follow the rules. But I still want to give you a gift."
Dong Cheng and his men had already brought the bandits' carriage. The carriage had been modified, its doors nailed shut, and the bandits were packed like sardines inside. After a day and night without food or water, their fierceness had long since faded, and they were practically dying.
