Chapter 1923 Where is the Emperor?
"Early this morning, before daybreak, I saw a group of people coming outside the Lotus Heart Hall. From a distance, they looked like people from the Western Regions."
"oh?"
When Xue Yun heard this, he was surprised.
Mr. Huang said he wanted to come here to do something important. Does that mean he wants to meet people from the Western Regions?
They are people from the Yan Kingdom court, and they are meeting with people from the Western Regions. Could it be that there was a rumor a few days ago that the Emperor of Yan Kingdom was going to reopen the northwest gate and restart the road to the Western Regions?
Although they were far outside the Great Wall and did not belong to Yan or Neng, due to the special location of Bailong City, they had close relations with the merchants coming and going, and the policies of the courts on both sides had a great influence on them. This was the first time in recent decades that Yan had opened its doors.
I have heard from my elders before that the emperor of Yan State is a ruler with great potential.
Now it seems that this statement is true.
Xue Yun thought about it and leaned out of the window. Sure enough, he saw the shadows of bamboos swaying outside and many people busy coming and going. There were many soldiers standing inside and outside the courtyard where Master Huang and the others were.
She asked, “Where are those people?”
"Looks like he's drinking tea in front."
"Where's Mr. Huang?"
"I haven't seen it yet. But they have tight security over there and don't allow anyone else to go there. Even the people working in the guild hall can't get close."
“…”
"Sir, should we go take a look?"
"don't want!"
Upon hearing this, Xue Yun immediately waved his hand and said, "Young Master Huang already told us yesterday that we should follow them and not create any unnecessary complications along the way, so as not to ruin their plans."
Yun thought, "Young Master is truly a scoundrel. He takes Young Master Huang's words as an imperial decree."
Xue Yun smiled.
Then he said, "We are now living under someone else's roof. Don't cause trouble, okay?"
Yun thought, "I know."
After saying that, he walked out holding the clothes.
Xue Yun stood by the window, looking at the jade-like river flowing outside. Illuminated by the sunlight, it reflected countless waves, just like her throbbing heart.
She murmured, "I take your words as the imperial decree. But what about you?"
"Who are you, anyway?"

At this moment, inside the open pavilion.
The air was filled with the rich aroma of spices, which even the cool breeze in the open pavilion could not blow away. Gu Yiyou was already very familiar with this fragrance. After all, he had smelled a lot of such smells during his travels to various countries in the Western Regions.
I have seen many people, including the one in front of me.
The people in front of him were the special envoys sent by the Parthian Empire.
Sitting in the leading position was the envoy himself. He was a tall man with a full beard. His golden hair and golden beard almost swallowed his face. The only thing exposed was his deep sunken eyes, which were glassy and bright. His nose was also very straight.
The people around him called him Nadab.
Gu Yiyou vaguely remembered that in the language of the Parthian Empire, Nadab meant "loyalty". Obviously, this special envoy was the confidant of the Parthian king, which was why he was sent here.
A young man sat next to him.
This man was about the same age as Gu Yiyou, also with curly blond hair, deep eyes, a high nose, and a little beard on his chin. He had a very handsome face.
From the moment the Parthian envoy arrived here, all the words were conveyed by him.
He is fluent in Chinese.
The people around him called him Omri. The word Omri means scholar in the Parthian language. Perhaps it was because he was proficient in Chinese that he followed the special envoys here.
Gu Yiyou looked at Anli a few more times.
Coincidentally, Anli also raised his head, and the two looked at each other. The other stood up and walked over with a smile.
"Mr. Gu."
"Lord Omri."
"Since Master Gu is also well versed in our Parthian nation, you should know that I am not an elder, but just an ordinary person. Master Gu does not need to be so polite."
"You are here with the special envoy, so you are also honored guests to us."
"Your country is indeed a country of etiquette."
Although he still had a strange accent, he spoke very fluently, even more fluently than Gu Yiyou spoke Parthia Mandarin.
This is definitely not something that can be achieved by traveling like he and Tong Sinian did.
Gu Yiyou said with a smile, "Master Anli speaks our language very fluently."
Anli said, "Mr. Gu, you are very familiar with our language."
"I once lived in Parthia for a period of time."
"Oh? This isn't close to where we can rest."
"Yes, the road ahead was not ordinary. My brothers and I took a year to walk on it."
"It took such a long time and such an arduous journey. I wonder why Master Gu came to our Parthian Kingdom?"
Gu Yiyou glanced at him, then smiled and said, "Just traveling."
"oh."
Omri smiled and was about to say something, but at this time, the special envoy Nadab became a little impatient, and the several deputy envoys sitting next to him also showed impatience. He put the teacup in his hand on the table and said something.
Omri turned quickly around.
The two exchanged a few words, and Gu Yiyou probably understood what he heard. An Li turned to him and said, "Why hasn't the lord from your country arrived yet?"
"Well--"
Gu Yiyou was about to say something when a servant came over.
He said to them, "Dear guests, please come in."
It seems to be ready.
So Nadab, along with a few of his lieutenants and Omri, stood up and followed the attendant forward. Soon they arrived at the main hall in front.
This main hall is very large and should be the largest building in the entire Lianxin Guild Hall. It is tall and spacious, with a thick carpet in the middle. Looking at the patterns on it, you can tell that it comes from the Western Regions.
Directly in front of the lobby is a tall screen, behind which is a door leading to another room. In front of the screen is a low table, and on both sides there are several low tables.
This is obviously a way to entertain guests.
However, Zhu Feng and his men had not appeared yet, and Ying Shao and his men were standing on both sides of the hall.
Gu Yiyou also felt a little strange.
Although this time, the person coming was a special envoy, and as the emperor he came to meet him, he was already condescending and should have put on some airs, but why hadn't he shown up yet?
Normally, Zhu Feng is not a person who pays attention to red tape.
Thinking of this, he also looked behind the screen.
At this time, Nadab and his several lieutenants had already sat down, and Omri also stood behind Nadab. The two of them said something, and Omri asked again: "Master Gu, your -"
Before he could finish his words, footsteps were heard from the front.
Everyone looked up and saw a man coming out from behind the screen.
Gu Yiyou was about to step forward and salute, but when the man came out, he was stunned and the words he was about to say were stuck in his throat.
Because the person in front of him was not Zhu Feng.
Instead, it was Ye Zheng, who was wearing official uniform and looked solemn and serious.
He - he came to meet the special envoy?
What about the emperor?
