Gaogouli was quite happy when he heard that Daqin had sent envoys.

Thinking that Daqin didn't go to other places, but came to Gaogouli, it must be because they are very strong, Daqin had to come to make friends!

So Gaoguli randomly sent a few people to the border to wait.

Liu Yaoqing and the others rode in a carriage, while Shen Congwu led people on foot. They approached in a dense manner, especially the men behind Shen Congwu.

"..." The waiting people looked back at themselves, suddenly speechless.

Not to mention the horse-drawn carriage, it was an ox cart, the most common one in Gaogouli, and it was completely inferior to the horse-drawn carriage from Daqin.

The few of them look good, but they are small, and the clothes they wear are very complicated, but they are not gorgeous. They seem to be a head shorter than the people from Daqin.

When Liu Yaoqing got off the carriage, several people looked at Liu Yaoqing, then at brother Zhezi, and then at the imposing Shen Congwu.

"Let's go." Liu Yaoqing took the initiative to glance at a few people.

Those few people had nothing to say, they just followed Liu Yaoqing and the others, and they were turned away.

It took several days to walk from the border to the city.

When resting on the road, the men all took out strong and airtight tents, and Liu Yaoqing lived in a better, improvised wooden house made of planks.

Li Bao and the others slept on the bullock cart. When it was time to eat, they all brought dry food, coarse flour pancakes mixed with a little sugar, and if they chewed slowly, they could taste the sweet aroma.

But Liu Yaoqing lit a bonfire, set up an iron pot, opened a can of braised pork, opened a can of potatoes, and boiled broth.

Seeing the pitiful people sitting on the ox cart, Liu Yaoqing smiled and said, "Come here and finish the meat porridge."

"Hey!" Li Bao had been drooling greedily for a long time, and hurried over when he heard Liu Yaoqing say that.

He was able to receive the envoys from Great Qin. Although he was sent here casually, his status was not low. He was also related to the lord of the country, and he was considered a big family in the city.

It's not that he has never eaten refined rice noodles, even every day. Li Bao thought he was knowledgeable enough, but now it seems that he doesn't know anything.

The meat porridge contains pork, almost all lean meat, which melts in the mouth and tastes delicious.

"My lord, this is..." Li Bao asked while staring at the unopened can.

Liu Yaoqing glanced at Brother Zhezi without any trace, and said with a smile: "This is canned food, a very common thing, if you want, I can give you some at the discretion."

"Really?" Li Bao was suddenly moved.

He has eaten all kinds of meat, but he has never eaten such meat that melts in the mouth and is fat but not greasy. Seeing that Liu Yaoqing is willing to give it, he thinks this brother is really good at talking, so he took several cans on the spot.

Waiting for the night to rest, several people leaned on the bullock cart, talking in low voices.

"Li Bao, have you forgotten that we are not much worse than them!"

"I know, I know." Li Bao whispered, "But you haven't seen this thing before, have you? We have to take it back and have a look."

"Hmph, it's better like this, don't think about following them!"

These few people are all proud, thinking that Gaogouli is extremely powerful, even if they didn't go to fight Daqin, Daqin would definitely be impatient.This time when the envoys of Daqin came, they were prepared to show off their authority.

Although it is different from what I imagined, there are a lot of people from Daqin, and they have never seen the things they brought out, but my thoughts will never change!This is pride!

After walking on the road for a few days, mainly to take care of Li Bao's ox cart, they finally arrived at the largest main city of Koguryo.

Lifting the curtain of the carriage and looking at the city wall, Liu Yaoqing turned her head and said in a low voice: "The city wall is quite high. Let's go find that Taoist priest when we go back this time. I remember that the reason why he blew up the furnace was because he burned something else."

"En." Brother Zhezi nodded.

Liu Yaoqing's thoughts are sometimes very special. He insists on lowering the price of food, and he once "pointed at a deer as a horse", but he just heard that there is a Taoist alchemy fryer, and when he went to see it, he found cement. , the cement can be used in a serious way.

So usually when he speaks, Brother Zhezi will not refute.

From the outside, the city wall is tall and easy to defend but difficult to attack, but it is easy to find the difference when entering the inside.

Nowadays, big and small cities in Daqin, even towns, and even some villages pay special attention to cleanliness.At the beginning, it was on the mountain of Shanggu Village. Liu Yaoqing really couldn't bear the fact that some people just found a convenient place, and some livestock were even more convenient. If they were not cleaned up at the time, they would be shoveled away by special excrement pickers after a few days.

That smell, the impact is extremely powerful.

Liu Yaoqing built a public latrine on the mountain, which was built with square stones and was cleaned every day. Although there was still a smell, it was not all over the mountain.

There are special sheds for livestock, and if there are occasional ones outside, Liu Yaoqing will ask someone to clean them up, and there will be wages.

At first, Mrs. Li didn't understand, and felt that the wages were wasted, but when she got used to the clean mountains, and then went to the village, she couldn't help frowning when she occasionally saw cow dung and so on.

At that time, Liu Yaoqing also said, "We can enjoy a cleaner environment, why not enjoy it? We don't need that little money."

This word got out later, and the villagers thought about it, it was such a rationale.

Everyone is not short of that bit of money, and those who go to the mountain workshops have to pass through Shanggu Village. If the village is clean and there is no livestock manure, then the reputation will be good.

At that time, Uncle Liu Wu took the lead and asked some idle old people in the village to clean up specially, and everyone pooled some money to give them starting wages.

Some old people have worked hard all their lives, their children have already married, and they don’t care about it at all. If they can earn some money, they can live a good life.

Later, Liang Songzi and others came and went back to the capital to have a look. They thought it was fairly clean, but some towns were not particular about it, so they wrote an article.

A scholar's pen is sharper than the sharpest knife. Some county towns don't pay attention to it, and the county magistrate is almost scolded to death by a scholar.

This has formed an ethos, and every place is clean.

Gaogouli is not so particular about it.

Some bullock carts on the road were pulled while walking, and no one cared at all. Soon someone didn't pay attention, and stepped on the whole foot, which was still warm.

Those who stepped on cow dung only felt that they were unlucky, but they didn't think about cleaning it up.

Seeing this, Liu Yaoqing frowned immediately, and said in a low voice, "The Cuju team going to Daqin here, why do you think they are so strong?"

"I don't know." Brother Zhezi thought for a while and whispered, "Probably because they think they can eat enough, so they think everyone can eat enough."

"Sitting in the well and looking at the sky, I thought the sky was just that big." Liu Yaoqing said bluntly.

When they arrived at the resting place, Liu Yaoqing got out of the carriage and took a look, the place was really too small, Shen Congwu and others couldn't arrange it all, they still had to live in tents.

When they first entered the city, Shen Congwu and others were too numerous, and Li Bao didn't want them to enter.

It stands to reason that there would not be many people accompanying the envoys, but this time there were a lot of people from Daqin, including some envoys, but it was Shen Congwu who kept his word.

Liu Yaoqing has no official identity, and brother Zhezi has not disclosed his identity, but they just appeared like this.

Li Bao used to inquire about it round and round, but everyone else kept it secret, and he had no other way.

At that time Li Bao didn't want Shen Congwu and others to enter the city, which was in accordance with the rules, but Liu Yaoqing also said, "It's fine if they don't enter the city, then we don't enter, just turn around and leave."

Daqin soldiers are strong and horses are strong, there is nothing to be afraid of, and this meeting can still catch the handle.

What else can Li Bao say?Although he is very proud and thinks that Gaogouli is not bad, but if they really turn against each other, if Daqin sends troops to fight, Gaogouli may be destroyed.

But at this time, the residence they arranged was so small, and the houses inside were not as good as the wooden house where Liu Yaoqing temporarily lived. Li Bao and the others felt that they had lost face, and they still wanted to give Da Qin a blow.

Immediately, she didn't care about Liu Yaoqing's own arrangements, and hurried into the palace to report.

The king was having fun with the beauty in his arms, he didn't pay attention to Liu Yaoqing and others at all, he listened to Li Bao and others coming to report, he thought for a long time before reacting.

"Canned braised pork? Canned potatoes? What is that? Is it better than delicacies from mountains and seas? Qin...is bigger than our Koguryo place?"

"According to the news from the Cuju team..."

Li Bao and the others told the news from the Cuju team in detail, and the king immediately became interested when he heard it.

"In that case, detain them and declare war." The king immediately made a decision, full of ambitions.

Since Daqin has so many good things, he just snatched them and turned them into Gaoguli.

In the impression of the king, Daqin was about the same size as Gaogouli, with similar food, supplies, and clothing. Gaoguli was no worse than Daqin, and if they really fought, they might not necessarily be at a disadvantage.

On the same day, a group of people came and surrounded the small yard.

After Liu Yaoqing heard about it, she was not nervous, instead she said with a smile: "Look, this is looking at the sky from a well, thinking that the sky above your head is just that big. Let's not be nervous, let's kill a few people first, and wait for the king to change his mind."

"Kill everyone?" Shen Congwu said calmly.

"If you have a bad attitude, kill him." Liu Yaoqing thought for a while and said.

They represented Daqin's face, and they brought the national certificate, but Gao Gouli turned his face when he said it, so they couldn't be too polite.

When Liu Yaoqing wanted to come to Gaogouli, he specially asked Shen Congwu to bring someone to prevent this.

The envoys who followed were surprised at this moment: "Don't they know that the whole Gaogouli is not as big as ours?"

"I'm afraid they really don't know." Liu Yaoqing said, "I guess, they should think that our Daqin is just a tiny place, and Daqin can disappear without a trace with a flick of a finger."

When he said this, the people around couldn't help laughing, they really didn't understand that there were such muddle-headed people in the world.

But such absurd thing really made Liu Yaoqing hit the mark.

Except for a few who were relatively sober, the rest of them had their nostrils upturned. They felt that Liu Yaoqing and others dared to come, it was really too courageous.

"They are all out of their minds." Liu Yaoqing said helplessly.

But it was the people with brains that surrounded them confidently.

After one group was killed, another group came soon, and then they were killed again.

The king, who was still enjoying the beauty in his arms, was a little puzzled and asked, "Why didn't the people you sent come back?"

"Your Majesty, please think twice." No one stepped forward, so finally Li Bao could only stand up and say, "Daqin is not the same as it used to be. It has long been different from before. Those men are all very strong in martial arts. One can defeat a hundred."

If you can't even beat so many people, so many people have died without arrest, how can you beat Daqin?

"Then let them go." The king thought for a while and said.

Except for Li Bao who felt something was wrong, the other ministers thought it was normal.

The people outside all retreated, Liu Yaoqing thought she had heard wrong after hearing Li Bao finished speaking.

The king didn't see them at all, and if he found out that he couldn't beat them, he would let them go. He didn't want any face?If the emperor of Daqin is like this, I am afraid that the ministers below will go crazy, especially those from the Ministry of Rites, and I am afraid that they will have to die to apologize.

"Let's just leave?" Liu Yaoqing thought for a while and said, "Let's not leave, write a letter and call more people to come!"
