Datang: My father is the head bodyguard

Chapter 703 Two-Nation Consultation

Since then, Zhao Nanqing has lived in the Duke of E's Mansion. Every time Li Lizhi and Princess Chengyang went out to play, the two children sat in the safety seats in the back seat, and Zhao Nanqing acted as an aunt and babysitter, looking after the two little ones.

Yuchi Baoqi had nothing to do every day. He wandered around the Engineering Department, the Civil Affairs Branch, the Imperial Palace, the Royal Academy, etc. Everything was going on as planned.

It was not until a month later that the Sogdian envoy and the Sogdian king came to find Yuchi Baoqi with seven or eight attendants, looking panicked.

"Your Majesty! Michelle...Michelle's king has arrived."

Yuchi Baoqi hugged the two men's shoulders and said, "Why are you so anxious and panicked? What are you afraid of? At the critical moment of life and death, you can still send troops to help our Tang Dynasty defend the border. There is no need to explain the friendship here."

"As the saying goes, everyone can add icing on the cake, but helping someone in need is the real deal. Don't worry."

"Come on, follow me to meet him."

In this way, King Michel, who had just got off the train, was notified and immediately went to the meeting room of the Hongluguan to discuss the conflict between Michel and Sogdia.

-----------------------

Yuchi Baoqi and Li Shimin sat in the middle of the conference room, with Michelle and Sogdiana sitting in front of them.

Yuchi Baoqi extended his hand and said, "Please ask the Sogdian side to introduce the Sogdian participants."

The Sogdian envoy stood up and saluted Li Shimin and Yuchi Baoqi: "Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness, the Sogdians attending this meeting are: I am Hassan, the Sogdian envoy, and our Sogdian king, Mahdi."

The Sogdian king stood up and placed his right hand on his chest: "May God bless your Majesty and His Royal Highness the King of England with peace and health forever."

Yuchi Baoqi and Li Shimin nodded in greeting. Yuchi Baoqi then extended his hand towards Michelle Fang's table and said, "Next, please ask Michelle Fang to introduce the Michelle members who will be attending the meeting."

Michelle's envoys were obviously not as polite as the Sogdian envoys, and they spoke Chinese haltingly. Li Shimin was already beginning to feel angry.

"Greetings to the King of England...Greetings to His Majesty, His Royal Highness, this...This time the members of the Michelle Yuhui Pavilion are: I am the Michelle's direct representative, Jihad Mustafa. Our Michelle's king, Osiris III. And our national teacher, Naphtali."

Yuchi Baoqi noticed the name of a Taiwanese and said with a sharp look: "Envoy Mishier, please confirm whether all the participants from Mishier are citizens and kings of Mishier."

The envoy of Michel looked at the national teacher Naphtali. The king of Michel, Osiris III, did not understand Chinese and looked at his envoy with some confusion and bewilderment.

After the translation, the face of the national teacher Naphtali looked obviously unhappy. Osiris III felt a little embarrassed. This was Yuchi Baoqi humiliating him, but facing the Tang Dynasty, he had no choice but to accept the humiliation.

Yuchi Baoqi wanted this effect, to humiliate and hit him: "Since Osiris III is willing to allow a non-national citizen and noble to participate in national affairs, I won't say much."

"The development of a country's science and technology, economy, health care, population and education all depend on the most important factor, which is peace and stability."

"In order to maintain peace and stability in the countries and regions surrounding Datang, this Su-Mi consultation meeting has officially begun."

"Please both sides state the direct causes and reasons for the war between the two sides."

The Sogdian envoy slowly stood up and said, "Sogdia has always been peace-loving. Our royal family and ministers are also committed to the development of the country and to solving the food and water problems in Sogdia."

"Ten years ago, our border patrol troops were shot and killed by Michelle's troops. We still tried to solve the problem through dialogue and political means."

"On the fifth day after the Sogdians sent out the envoy, we received the news that the envoy had been killed, and Michelle's army was heading to the Sogdian border."

"From then on, the war continued until the Celestial Empire proposed to resolve the Su-Mi issue and asked the envoys of the two countries to come to the Tang Dynasty for a meeting."

"The reason for our war is that Michelle violated the border without reason and brutally killed our envoy. The reason for our war is... to live! To live with dignity!"

Yuchi Baoqi looked at Mi Xier Fang and said, "It's your turn to speak. Do you have anything to add to what the Sogdian envoy said?"

Michel's envoys began to translate with the imperial teacher and Osiris III, and there was a lot of slander and abuse against the Sogdian envoys. The imperial teacher even called the Sogdians lowly beasts.

Yuchi Baoqi simply picked up the teacup on the table and threw it over, and the entire conference room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

"The participants and countries invited to this meeting include not only you, Michelle, but also Sogdia. I hope you can show at least some respect to the invited participants and countries. This is the usual practice of the Tang Dynasty when hosting consultations, and it is also a rule that everyone should abide by. I remind you to pay attention to it."

After listening to the envoy's translation again, the national teacher Naphtali and King Osiris III of Michel calmed down. The envoy sorted out the content that needed to be supplemented and stood up to speak.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Your Majesty, some of the information provided by the Sogdians is not true. The place where we had a conflict was a trading settlement on the border between the two countries. Their troops have no right to patrol or guard the border there."

"As for the killing of the Sogdian envoy, I, Michelle, feel deeply sorry. It may be because the Sogdian envoy did not know some of our country's etiquette and customs, and made offensive actions, which led to his death."

From the corner of his eye, Yuchi Baoqi saw that the Sogdian envoy and Sogdian King Mahdi clenched their fists, their eyes seemed to be spewing flames, and they were ready to tear all the participants from Michelle's side into pieces at any time.

"Nonsense! That is the border city of our Sogdia. We opened the border so that merchants from your country can come here to trade and exchange what they have."

"Our troops have never troubled you, the Mish'er people, there. We only carried out protection operations, patrolling and guarding the entire border!"

"You keep talking about both sides' areas. Where do you mean both sides' areas? That's the Sogdian city! It's our city!"

"Our once beautiful city has now fallen, but I am not afraid. The flower of freedom will surely bloom on the land of Sogdia, and you! Will fail in the end!"

Yuchi Baoqi crossed his hands and placed them under his chin. After a brief thought, he said something without any context.

"When did your national teacher, uh... Naphtali, come to your Michel?"
