Straight man of steel

Chapter 133 Yelang Hou Duotong

Even though Huang Changshi said how rich the city of Fu County was before, Zhang Yuan was still surprised by such a temple-like city in front of Zhang Yuan.

The color inside and outside of this city is very similar to a game called Temple Run that Zhang Yuan played in his previous life.

Without walls, everyone lives in a valley.

The temple built with huge stones in the middle should be the palace of the Yelang Kingdom. It may be because of too long time that every corner has been covered with moss.

There should be a waterfall at the very back of the valley, covering the entire palace in water vapor.

People's faces were all filled with yearning for a better life. Since Tang Meng sent people to build roads, no one showed surprise at the sudden appearance of the Han people and continued to work on their own.

Looking at the stone pillars carved with statues of gods, Zhang Yuan has a sense of sight of Angkor Wat in China.

He has never seen the Great Wall, and the palaces in Chang'an City are more serious than art to him. Right now, he is relaxed in front of such a huge stone palace.

"It seems that the people in the barbarian land can't learn how to use wood to build palaces. This county town looks quite weird."

Ji Fu was sarcastic on the side, not shying away from his sense of superiority in his tone.

At this time, Zhang Yuan was thinking about how to protect such an artistic treasure-like building, and the Atlantis in the West was probably no different.

Zhang Yuan had already thought of the reason why there was no trace of the destruction of this city.It must be because of the desire for gold, the army of the big man turned this place upside down in order to find the gold.

"Sir, if you can't volley the house in this southwestern land and use wood as the main body to build the house, do you know what the consequences will be?"

Ji Fu looked confused. He had been despised by Zhang Yuan too many times along the way. There was nothing he could do about it. Everything here was new to him.As for why Zhang Yuan knew so much, he was very suspicious. This was not Zhang Yuan's first visit to Yelang.

"What are the consequences?"

Tang Meng said with a smile on the side.

"Mr. Jifu, if wood is used as the main body to build a house, the southwest is humid and rainy, and there are many strange insects that like to eat the wood core. It can take as short as a few months or as long as two years, it will be completely rotten and damaged.

The thatched houses we saw along the way are also because there is a lot of thatch here, and the common people can replace it in time. As for the nobles, they all live in stone houses. "

Ji Fu now disliked being suppressed by Zhang Yuan everywhere, so he stopped paying attention to these common sense questions and turned to ask Tang Meng.

"Why have you never seen the [-] elite soldiers of the Yelang Kingdom?"

The mission and the 1000-strong army have arrived at the entrance of the valley and are about to enter the living area of ​​the people of Yelang Kingdom. However, there are still no troops coming to stop them. In addition, there are no checkpoints along the way. The people of Yelang Kingdom The undefended attitude towards the Han army made Ji Fu believe in Zhang Yuan's rhetoric even more.

Tang Meng was very embarrassed when it came to bullying the emperor, coughed twice and said.

"There is no difference between the people of the Yelang Kingdom and the people of the Han Dynasty. They are naturally close to us, and this Yelang Kingdom is like the Huns. Everyone is a soldier. Once there is a battle, Yelang Hou Duotong can quickly gather together. An army of 10 men."

These years, Liu Che has heard too many lies and some illusory things.

Zhang Qian, who went to the west, is now busy creating human beings on the belly of which Hun woman, and the legendary Yueshi is still in the mist.

Now that Yelang Kingdom is like this again, how can it make people excited? Liu Che's strategy of engaging in distant relations and attacking closely has almost failed, but no one is willing to remind him.

"Okay, don't worry about it so much, Lieutenant General Lang, I came to Yelang as an envoy. The Marquis of Yelang hasn't sent anyone to meet him yet, so there won't be any clues."

If so many people hang out outside the city for half an hour like they did at Fuguan, then they will not slap Zhang Yuan in the face, but slap Da Han Guo. Liu Che will never tolerate such a thing .

Tang Meng bowed to Zhang Yuan and quickly explained.

"Honorable envoy, at the end of the day, I will send someone to inform Marquis Yelang to come out of the city to meet you. Please be patient and don't be impatient."

Immediately afterwards, Tang Meng made a few tricks, and several of his personal soldiers pulled the reins and ran towards the palace in the center of the county seat.At this moment, Tang Meng was extremely anxious deep in his heart. At least six or seven groups of soldiers were sent out to deliver the message to Duotong, but now it seems that they have no effect at all.

After a quarter of an hour, Tang Meng felt a sigh of relief when he saw a large group of people rushing towards him in the distance.

Yelang Hou Duotong was sitting on a bamboo sedan chair, all decorated with silver, gold and gemstones, and his clothes were very flamboyant.

Surrounded in front and behind were thousands of Yelang soldiers holding bronze weapons and wearing rattan armor. The closer they got to Zhang Yuan and others, the slower they moved.

When Duotong approached Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan could already feel his haughty eyes.

"The ancients never deceived me."

Zhang Yuan said these words slowly in an inaudible tone.

When Tang Meng saw that Duotong had finally arrived, he quickly stepped forward to introduce him.

"Honorable envoy, this is Yelang Hou Duotong, the ruler of Yelang Kingdom.

Marquis Yelang, this is Zhang Yuan, the envoy sent by my Emperor Han. "

Yelang Marquis was a title granted to Dutong by Liu Che after he agreed with Tang Meng to establish Jianwei County in Yelang Kingdom. Logically speaking, Duotong was just a minister of the Han Dynasty now. Even if he was a foreign minister, he was still a minister.

Zhang Yuan didn't speak, but sat steadily on the horse, waiting for Duotong to salute him.

There is no reason for an envoy from a superior country to salute the king of a subordinate country, at least that's what Zhang Yuan thought in his heart.

This time it was mainly for deterrence by force. There were thousands of soldiers and more than a hundred armored soldiers around them. Whether they entered the palace or blocked the entrance of the valley, the people of Yelang Kingdom in Fu County were like turtles in an urn.

Seeing that Zhang Yuan kept silent, and Huang Changshi and Tang Meng kept winking, Duo had no choice but to get off the sedan chair.

Arriving in front of Zhang Yuan, he bowed slightly and shouted.

"Master Yelang and his elders have met the envoys of Shang Kingdom."

Duo Tong seemed very dissatisfied that Liu Che only gave him a marquis, not a prince.

Zhang Yuan glanced at Duotong, opened his mouth and said to him.

"Lead the way ahead. Your Majesty has something to discuss with Marquis Yelang."

Dutong didn't know what he was thinking, he just nodded, then turned back to the sedan and headed towards the palace.
