When Jiang Chen heard that the person in front of him was Zhou Wenchang, the Prime Minister of the Northern Kingdom. He seemed to have been opened up to the two channels of Ren and Du, and he was very happy.

Regarding Fan Yao's affairs, he was still racking his brains to think about how to get close to the prime minister of the Northern Kingdom and ask him to tell the emperor about Fan Yao's current situation.

Unexpectedly, this opportunity came just like this, and the person he was looking for was right in front of him.

He suppressed his inner joy without showing it, and then said to him:

"It turns out that the Prime Minister is disrespectful and disrespectful. Jiang Chen is polite here."

Zhou Wenchang laughed loudly and said:

"Do you think we are destined to be together? I originally wanted to visit you in the post house, but by chance, we met here. I thought that you, the deputy envoy of the Xuanwu Dynasty mission, must be in your forties. People over the age of 18. I didn’t expect you to be such a talented young man with both civil and military skills. It really surprises me.”

Jiang Chen knew that the opportunity was too good to miss. This was the best opportunity. He really needed an opportunity to talk to him alone now.

Just when he was thinking about what to say to him, Zhou Wenchang said to him:

"Deputy Ambassador Jiang, I wonder if I have the honor to have dinner with you?"

His warm invitation played right into Jiang Chen's mind. Just when he was about to agree, a voice sounded from beside him:

"Deputy Ambassador Jiang, who is this gentleman? Why don't you introduce him to me?"

Jiang Chen looked back and saw King Wei appearing in front of him with a few followers.

Zhou Wenchang looked at Wei Yu who appeared in front of him, then looked at Jiang Chen and asked:

"Deputy Ambassador Jiang, this young master is..."

Jiang Chen took a step forward and introduced him:

"Prime Minister Zhou, let me introduce to you. This is His Royal Highness the King of Wei of our Xuanwu Dynasty, and he is also the chief envoy of our mission."

When Zhou Wenchang heard that the man in front of him was King Wei of the Xuanwu Dynasty, he immediately strode forward and greeted the King of Wei:

"It turns out to be His Highness the King of Wei. I'm sorry. It's such a coincidence that we met him in this way. We also met two envoys, the first and the second. It's really a blessing."

King Wei looked at Zhou Wenchang in front of him with confusion, and then looked at Jiang Chen, waiting for him to introduce him:

Jiang Chen quickly told him;

"His Royal Highness King Wei, this is Prime Minister Zhou. I just found out about it."

Just when Jiang Chen turned around suddenly and the horse was frightened, King Wei had already seen Jiang Chen.

He saw the whole process clearly. The reason why he showed up at this time was because he was sure that Jiang Chen might have seen him too.

In order to avoid any estrangement from him, he simply followed him. When he heard that the person in front of him was Zhou Wenchang, the Prime Minister of the Northern Kingdom, he quickly raised his hands in greeting and said:

"It turned out to be the Prime Minister. What a coincidence. I didn't expect that we would meet on the street in this way. We have already made arrangements to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to formally visit you tomorrow."

When the prime minister heard what he said, he laughed and said:

"His Royal Highness the King of Wei, you are welcome to lead your team to come to our court. We will hold a banquet at Honglu Temple tonight to entertain distinguished guests from your country. We hope that His Highness the King of Wei will lead the delegation to attend on time."

The King of Wei thanked him with his hand, and after a few pleasantries, the Prime Minister gave up on inviting Jiang Chen, and then excused himself and left.

At this time, Jiang Feng and Hu Peng had also walked over. They had no intention of meeting Jiang Chen.

Now that he has seen everything, there is no point in hiding anymore. He might as well come over and meet, so that he won't have to hide in the future.

Jiang Chen pretended to be surprised and looked at the two people in front of him and said:

"Brother, Mr. Hu, when did you arrive? How could I not know at all?"

Jiang Feng quickly said to Jiang Chen:

"Hu Peng has never been to this cold place in the north. When he knew that King Wei was bringing a group, he invited me to come with him. Now I happen to meet you again. It really is true to the saying, meet old friends in a foreign land. Look. When it comes to you, we don’t know how happy we are.”

Jiang Chen responded and said:

"Now that you're here, let's have a good time. Even though this is an extremely cold place in the north, compared to our North Korea, it has an exotic scene."

After Jiang Chen finished speaking, he said to King Wei:

"Your Highness, you guys are busy first. I have to go back to the post house. I was just hanging out for a while, but I didn't know that I wasted so much time at once. I have to go back first.

King Wei waved to him and said:

"Jiang Chen, I'll go back with you. Uncle Guo and Jiang Feng, you can have some fun on your own first. If anything happens, just come to us directly at the post house."

After saying that, he went back with Jiang Chen.

In the evening, they indeed held a banquet in Honglu Temple to entertain them.

When King Wei led a group of envoys and others, they appeared at the banquet to welcome them. As soon as they entered the door, they saw the officials responsible for receiving them. Not only was Prime Minister Zhou, whom they had met on the street during the day, sitting at the head.

There was another character that he had expected, and that was Yeluhan among them.

The Honglu Temple official in charge of the welcome banquet introduced them one by one according to the names of the registered missions:

"We welcome the envoys from the Xuanwu Dynasty to take their seats. This is the envoy, His Highness the King of Wei. Welcome to take your seats."

After King Wei greeted everyone, he sat at the guest of honor table.

The second one read Jiang Chen’s name:

"Welcome Jiang Chen, the deputy envoy of the Xuanwu Dynasty, this year's new top scholar, and the current editor of the Hanlin Academy, to take his seat."

Just when Jiang Chen was about to sit in the seat assigned to him, he heard Yeluhan, who was sitting in the top position on the left, suddenly say:

"Hold on, send someone to move that position next to me. I want to have a good talk with this old friend."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes shifted from Jiang Chen to Yeluhan.

This is something unique in the history of hospitality in the past.

This move of his not only caught Jiang Chen by surprise, but also made King Wei open his mouth in shock.

King Wei did not expect that Yeluhan, whom he wanted to be close to, would actually be good friends with Jiang Chen. This was something he never expected.

He scratched his heart for a moment and felt very uncomfortable. He raised his eyes to look at Jiang Chen and saw Jiang Chen calmly walked up to Yeluhan, then sat down and said:

"Thank you Marshal Yelu for your support. Jiang Chen feels very honored."

Yeluhan looked at Jiang Chen in front of him and jokingly said to him:

"Should I call you Li Chen now, or should I call you Jiang Chen. I treated each other sincerely as a friend, but you used a false name to fool me. You can tell me whether I should punish you with a drink."

Jiang Chen picked up the wine glass in front of him, raised it to Yeluhan, and then said to him:

"Marshal Yelu, you can't say that. Although I didn't tell you that my name was Jiang Chen, I have used the name Li Chen for a long time. Because Li is my mother's surname, I said my name is Li Chen. It’s not like I’m cheating on you.”
