The royal family responsible for receiving Kang Langda's brief stay in Beijing was none other than Prince Ning Yi, His Royal Highness Gu You.

This is the first errand that Gu You has volunteered for over 20 years. Although he doesn't know what his seventh brother and Grand Tutor Han are busy with every day, when it comes to things like eating, drinking, pleasure, luxury and lust, Looking at the rich and powerful families in Beijing, no one can match him.

In order to be able to do a good job for Gu Xiu as a host who can stand up in front of foreigners, Gu You specially refurbished the garden of his own palace, even the most inconspicuous whitewashed walls were painted with gold paint.

After leaving Xuanzheng Hall, Ge Kanglangda lived in the post house of Honglu Temple for another day.

At noon the next day, the carriage in Prince Ning's Mansion stopped in front of the post house of Honglu Temple, and he brought Kang Langda and his party into Prince Ning Yi's mansion which was well prepared.

The day before yesterday, Gel Kang Langda had seen the densely-built palaces of the Dazhou court, and he was already unconsciously intimidated by the aura of swallowing mountains and rivers.

Today, when he came to Gu You's Prince's Mansion again, he found it even more amazing than those majestic palace walls.

Gu You's Prince's Mansion is located in a prosperous place, as soon as you enter the main entrance, you can see every step of the way, with painted pillars and carved beams.

The scenery changed too quickly, like the flowers blooming gradually, fascinated Kang Langda's eyes.

From the front door, there are more than a dozen winding corridors.

Finally, under the leadership of a few attendants, the three master and servant of Ge Kang Langda came to the small garden where Gu You was.

The vermilion wooden lacquered door opened, and a wave of warmth rushed over.

The scene in front of him almost made Ge Kang Langda's eyes pop out.

It was mid-winter, and there were hundreds of flowers in full bloom in that garden, colorful butterflies flying, small green bridges, and gurgling water.

In their barren land like Nanzhao, many people have never even seen flowers.

And in Dazhou, in any prince's mansion, you can still see greenery in the deep winter.

In the best position in the garden, King Ning Gu You was wearing a refreshing snow blue T-shirt, stroking a soft-haired curly poodle with a focused expression, the jade wrench on his thumb revealed a rare purple, and he looked handsome. There was a peaceful and comfortable smile on the baby's face, as if all the turmoil in the Great Zhou Dynasty had nothing to do with him.

The attendant who brought Kang Langda inside motioned him to wait for a while, ran all the way to Gu You to salute, leaned over and whispered something in Gu You's ear.

Gu You, who has been concentrating on stroking the poodle in his arms, finally raised his head, glanced at the three aliens of different heights in front of him, and finally locked his eyes on Kang Langda in the middle: "You are Lord Gekang?"

"Yes, it's my lord." Gee Kang Langda lowered his brows and raised his head in front of Gu You: "I've seen His Highness King Ning."

"My lord, please sit down." Gu You rubbed the chin of the puppy in his arms, and handed the puppy to the attendant beside him: "The guests have arrived, order to pass the meal."

"Yes." The attendant ordered, and turned around to greet the long-awaited maids to present the meal.

"His Royal Highness Ning, your garden is so well built that people can't tell whether it's winter or spring." Gee Kang Langda greeted him, but his tone was obviously not good.

"My concubine was born in Suzhou, so since I got married, I have built such a garden. I just want her to live more comfortably in winter." Da looked at each other: "If Lord Gekang has never seen it before, I would like to learn more today."

All the meals were served on a table, and each dish was exquisite, and most of them were something that Gel Kang Langda had never seen before.Facing this luxurious banquet table, Ge Kang Langda couldn't help sneering: "I originally thought that the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was a good emperor who loved the people like a son. I didn't want to know that all the rumors were not true after meeting His Royal Highness King Ning today. The common people are in dire straits, and your royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty is enjoying themselves here."

"Master Gekang, what you said makes this king very unhappy." Gu You rested his chin with one hand, and there was little majesty and city government on that immature baby face: "This king is this king, and your majesty is the king." Your Majesty, what do you think of this king, why do you think of me as the Son of Heaven? Thanks to my kindness, the Son of Heaven, I allowed you to stay in Beijing for a while, and I asked this king to receive you in person. If this king is really the emperor, I would have killed you Hang your head on the tower for public display."

"My lord is here for peace talks, why did you emperor of the Great Zhou avoid seeing you?" Ge Kang Langda narrowed his eyes and said coldly.

"The lord came here to provoke, and besides, I, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was not someone from other races to meet whenever he wanted to." Gu You didn't intend to be a good company, and only drank two sips of tea before hugging the curly-haired poodle again. Returning to his arms: "You said that the king is addicted to pleasure, don't you also eat at the same table with the king now? You Nanzhao people can't even eat enough. If you really have the backbone, you should starve to death in front of me. In Da Zhou territory, don’t eat even a grain of millet.”

Gel Kang Langda seemed to have suffered a lot, and didn't know how to refute, so he could only take a shallow sip of the tea cup in his hand.

He was surprised to find that the teacup contained red Dian tea from Nanzhao.

Gu You glanced at him sideways, and slowly shook the teacup in his hand: "Your Nanzhao's rich red Yunnan tea is pretty good, with a ruddy tea soup and a strong aroma. Do you know how many of this red Yunnan tea are sold to the territory of Dazhou every year? "

"According to the local taxation, it's about [-] catties." Gel Kang Langda said, "What's the matter? Does His Highness Prince Ning want me to send you some high-quality tea?"

"Speaking of which, I love tea from the royal family to the common people in Dazhou. My king's Yue family is the largest tea merchant in the Jiangnan area of ​​Dazhou. Of the [-] catties of red Dian tea, [-] catties were produced by this king. All the tea farmers in Nanzhao rely on him." Gu You scratched the puppy's belly and teased him: "If the Lord Gekang continues to slander my Great Zhou Emperor, this king will let you all come this spring." All the produced Hongdian tea rotted in the ground.”

"You!" Ge Kang Langda pursed his lips angrily, betting in his heart in a breath.

In the next few days, Gu You still led Kang Langda around the capital regardless of past suspicions.

Sometimes I go to this Xungui's house to listen to a little song, and sometimes I go to the suburbs of Beijing to relax and see how the farmers living away from the city in Dazhou live and work in peace and contentment.Sometimes they would even take him to Da Zhou's military camp to show him the destructive heavy weapons and well-trained troops.

Ge Kanglangda also had to admit that the strength gap between Nanzhao and Dazhou was indeed too great. If it weren't for the epidemic in southern Xinjiang caused by him, Nanzhao really had no chance of winning.

***

Late at night, in the upper room of the post house of Honglu Temple.

Ge Kanglangda and Maochi Yuechi lowered their voices and discussed the next countermeasures in Nanzhao language.

Ge Kang Langda is not a fool, and he naturally thought about the way out if the peace talks failed.So he hid the 5000 elite soldiers in the mountains less than a hundred miles outside the city of Bianjing. The hiding places of the [-] people were extremely scattered, and two or three people formed a small team, and they never showed their whereabouts on weekdays. , As long as he gives an order, they can quickly assemble.

He carefully calculated the military deployment in Bianjing City of the Great Zhou Dynasty. There are many prosperous people in the capital, and the emperor's relatives are everywhere. The army of the king's army must be timid when fighting, and most of the troops are in the southern border.

If he attacked at this time, it would not be completely ignoring the occupation of the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

When the few people hadn't figured it out, the conversation was interrupted by a police officer from Honglu Temple who was on duty outside the door.

The two messengers knocked on the door of the room very politely: "Master Ge Kang, there is a man who claims to be your general and has come from afar to ask to see you. May I ask you to see him?"

Ge Kang Langda was puzzled, he only brought Mao Chi Yue Chi and a small team of guards with him to Beijing, who would come to him at this hour?

Ge Kang Langda dubiously ordered Mao Chi to open the door. As expected, two messengers outside the door helped a young man in ragged clothes with a very bad face.

Mao Chi recognized the man at a glance as Xing Chi, his and Yue Chi's younger brother.

When Xing Chi saw his elder brother's face, he knelt on his knees with a plop, walked all the way to Gel Kang Langda, and cried loudly in Nanzhao language: "Master! Gone! They're all gone!"

Ge Kang Langda panicked, and immediately raised his hand to signal the two messengers to leave, then lowered his head to help Xing Chi who was kneeling on the ground, and asked, "Tell me clearly, who is gone?"

"They! The army we brought! They are gone!" Xing Chi narrated in tears.

They were originally stationed scattered in the mountains, and they ate the glutinous rice dumplings they brought with them. When they were thirsty, they ate the snow water in the mountains.

But for some reason, the people around them always died one after another, and the death conditions were extremely tragic.

They all have black lips and protruding eyes, as if they were strangled by life.

I don't know if it was plague or poisoning.

The original army of more than [-] people was reduced to less than [-] in just a few days.

Because there were so many dead, all the bodies had to be buried hastily.

Those improperly buried corpses attracted a large number of wolves and beasts, and when they saw them, they snapped wildly, and they were not afraid of the fire.

Now their only survivors were hiding in the cave, and he was the only one who ran out to report.

Ge Kang Langda suddenly felt dizzy when he heard the words. He felt incredible, and felt that he had missed something.

While he was wandering around the capital with Gu You, his people and his army all died strangely one by one.

Just now, he was still thinking about how to occupy Bianjing Imperial City.

His general Xing Chi came to tell him that he had already failed before he could make a move.

Ge Kang Langda clutched his undulating chest and vomited out a large mess of blood clots. Seeing this, Maochi Yuechi hurried forward to help him: "Master! Are you okay, Master!"

Ge Kang Langda waved his hand feebly, and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth: "I'm fine, whoever of you is going to send a message to Honglu Temple Minister, I want to see Taifu Han tomorrow."
