Chapter 265 Arrival
"Although I don't care about this position. But the imperial court just sends someone to replace me. Even if I'm ready, I don't feel comfortable.

At first I wanted to play with them, but now it seems that even for Xing Tai's sake, I don't want to be too difficult for them. "

"It seems that the court has put a lot of effort into selecting candidates." Changsun Ji said with a sneer.

"However, if I don't give them face, I don't want to look at Xing Tai, but I want to see if they know what to do." Changsun Ji muttered to himself.

Then, as if thinking of something, Changsun Ji turned to Wang Gang and asked, "Where is Mr. Guo?"

"Mr. Guo has been away for thirteen days. He only brought a dozen bodyguards with him and traveled lightly. His journey must be much faster than that of the envoys.

If it is faster, it is estimated that more than half of the distance has been traveled, and if it is slower, it is estimated that half of the distance has already been traveled. "Wang Gang thought for a while, stretched out his fingers and calculated briefly.

"So fast, Mr. Guo has been gone for almost half a month?" Changsun Ji murmured.

Because Guo Yu didn't have the official position of Dayan, so it was convenient to move and there would be no restrictions, so he had already left more than ten days ago.

The purpose is to pave the road before Changsun Ji goes back.In order to avoid being attacked by bad public opinion or other things that are not conducive to Changsun Ji, with Guo Yu around, he can find out in advance.

…………

Time flies, two days passed in a blink of an eye, because the envoys stayed in Puyang for one day, so it was one day later than Changsun Ji and the others expected.

The route and time of the envoy's group will be reported by scouts at regular intervals.

Changsun Ji ordered people to start preparing the welcome ceremony yesterday. After all, no matter who is in the envoy group or what their status was before, their current status is the emperor's envoy.

If he didn't prepare for the welcome ceremony at all, when the news spread back to the capital, the reputation of being disrespectful would be more or less stained on him.

Although there was a welcome ceremony, Changsun Ji specially instructed that everything should be kept simple and no extravagance should be allowed.

Although the other party's identity is the emperor's envoy, he is not an ordinary person, so naturally there is no need to try to curry favor with them.

Moreover, he didn't know whether the people in the envoy group were enemies or friends, so from the beginning he had to try not to leave any faults for the other party.

The welcome ceremony, as long as the etiquette is done, even if some supplies are not very rich, even if the other party is a little dissatisfied, they can't say anything. After all, in this year of natural disasters and man-made disasters, it is better to be frugal than luxurious and luxurious. .

Of course, although the supplies are not very rich, it will definitely not be too bad, but it is similar to his usual food. After all, if it is too bad, it will definitely be regarded by others as deliberately targeting the envoys.

Changsun Ji put on his clothes, because his job is military, so he also specially put on a suit of armor.

After everything was tidied up, Changsun Ji summoned Wang Gang and asked, "Where are the envoys now?"

"Young Master, the envoys are only [-] miles away from Yangping City, and they will arrive in Yangping soon." Hearing Changsun Ji's question, Wang Gang opened his mouth and replied.

"Okay, then let's make preparations first, go out of the city to meet him, and don't let others say that we are rude." Changsun Ji said softly.

"Young master, I'll arrange it now."

"Well, let's go." Changsun Ji straightened the red cherry on the helmet in front of the mirror, and said casually.

After Wang Gang left, Changsun Ji tidied up his things again, and he didn't get up until some soldiers came to report to Changsun Ji that the envoys had arrived only ten miles away from Yangping City.

Riding on the horse, waving the whip, soon, Changsun Ji arrived at the gate of the city.

At this time, Wang Liangbin, He Zheng, Xue Zhongchang, and Guo Dingxin were all waiting at the gate of the city.

Originally, Guo Dingxin asked Changsun Ji for leave from the very beginning. He was not very cold about this so-called envoy group from the capital.

He is just newly married now, like glue like honey, there is no big fight to fight, and he is simply lazy to deal with such official favors.

However, Changsun Ji refused and forced him to go.After all, he knew that he would return to Beijing soon.In the future, people in the envoy group will have Guo Dingxin's immediate boss. If Guo Dingxin is missed by others because of the reception, others will set him up because of this matter. With Guo Dingxin's personality, he will definitely fall into it. .

If he was still in Yanzhou, with his care, naturally everything would be fine.

But at that time, he was probably already far away in the capital, and he could not fight the fire, so in order to prevent this kind of thing from happening, Changsun Ji directly issued a military order to Guo Dingxin that he had to come to the gate of the city.Otherwise, he was really afraid that this idiot Guo Dingxin would make a fool of himself.

However, I don't know if it's because of going to jail or because of marrying a wife, Guo Dingxin has recently made Changsun Ji feel a lot more mature.

Just like this time, although he finally issued the military order to Guo Dingxin, he saved a lot of words.

Because it was stuck in time, Changsun Ji didn't wait long.But just after greeting a few generals, they saw the front troops of the envoy group slowly approaching from a distance.

Then, getting closer and closer, the entire envoy group gradually appeared in front of everyone with the distance.

There were only about 500 people in total, and there were more than a dozen carriages in the middle.

If it wasn't for the flag and the previous scouts sending someone to let Changsun Ji know that this is the convoy of the envoys, Changsunji would have thought it was the son of the big family who had come back from a trip.

Seeing the long convoy, Changsun Ji knew why the envoys were so slow.

There is only one envoy in the envoy group, and even if the deputy envoys are added, there are only three people, but these three people only travel together with more than a dozen vehicles and entourages.

As for other food and housing, not to mention the wasted food, but the time wasted, Changsun Ji can also deduce it from the time they took when they came.

Although he hasn't seen the envoys in these envoy groups yet, Changsun Ji already has bad guesses about the character of the envoys.

No matter what he thought in his heart, after watching the convoy slowly stop under the city, Changsun Ji still put on a smile on his face, and then rode forward to prepare to salute.

Changsun Ji rode his horse to the front of the envoy's carriage, then bowed his hands to the most luxuriously decorated carriage in the convoy and said, "General Pingbo, Changsun Ji, has been waiting for the envoy here for a long time."
