Chapter 206: Envoy Kun Visits Yuhuatian
Xu Ke looked at the other guard and said with a smile,
"Are you a Kun?"
The guard nodded, then shook his head and said
"Now I am a Yan person."
"I don't mean to blame you. I just want to ask you, how do the Yan people treat you? Are they good to you?"
Xu Ke had a warm smile on his face.
The guard hesitated for a moment and said,
“The Yan people treated us very well, treating us completely as their own people. They were also very kind to the Marshal, allowing him to freely increase the number of guards and rewarding him with a large house.
Our commander-in-chief doesn't need to attend court, nor does he need to engage in intrigue with civil and military officials. He only needs to train his troops and not worry about anything else."
Perhaps because he was meeting someone from his hometown, the guard felt a little familiar and started talking more.
However, Xu Ke could still hear his resentment towards the Kun Kingdom court from his words.
Yes, if it weren’t for the intrigue and the criticism from the court officials, how could Yuhuatian surrender?
Xu Ke sighed and said,
"It's the country that has let you down. You've done nothing wrong. As long as you're alive, there's hope."
On the other side, after hearing the news that the envoy from Kun Kingdom was coming to visit, Yu Huatian immediately narrowed his eyes and called all the shadow guards in.
He asked two shadow guards to dress up as bodyguards and protect him, while the other eight shadow guards lurked in the dark.
He did this, firstly to ensure his personal safety, and secondly to avoid suspicion.
After all, he is a Kun person. It is not long since he defected to the State of Yan, and it is really unreasonable and will arouse suspicion for him to meet with the envoy of Kun State.
But if he didn't show up, it would be even more criticized. People would only say that he had no thoughts of his hometown, no conscience, was unfaithful to his hometown, and even more so to Dayan. After all, he was persecuted by Emperor Kun and had to surrender to the State of Yan, not that he surrendered to the enemy for the sake of wealth and glory.
Some people even say that he looks so tough on the surface, is he just showing it to others, or is he planning to meet secretly?
After comprehensive consideration, Yuhuatian decided to meet them. After all, no matter how the nine countries fought, they were still countries of etiquette and should treat guests with hospitality.
A moment later, Xu Ke walked in without a single guard.
"Your humble servant, Xu Ke, the Chief Censor, pays homage to the Marquis of Yongjun."
Xu Ke bowed deeply to Yuhuatian.
Yu Huatian looked at the other party with cold eyes and said,
"Your Excellency, I think you have come to the wrong door. There is no such thing as Yong Jun Hou here, only Yu Hua Tian."
"My Lord, you are joking. In my heart, you will always be the brave marquis of Dakun, invincible in battle and unstoppable in attack."
"If you are here to sow discord, please return. Neither I nor Prince Lanling are easily fooled. This will only expose your evil intentions."
"The lower officials don't dare, the lower officials don't dare."
"Come here, serve some tea."
Xu Ke sat on a chair beside him, took the tea, thanked him, and looked at Yuhua Tiandao with a smile.
"General Yu, I've missed you terribly since we parted in Shengjing. I never thought that when I wanted to see you again, you'd already be in a foreign country."
"Why haven't I met you, Lord Xu? Isn't the Chief Censor Lord Li Qian?"
"Lord Li is recuperating due to illness. I was originally a minor official in the Censorate, but because of my meritorious service in government, I was promoted and sent as an envoy to the State of Yan."
"is it?"
Yu Huatian smiled leisurely and said,
"In my opinion, other officials see Dayan as a dangerous place and are afraid to come. So they just picked a nobody, promoted him temporarily, gave him a title, and sent him on the mission, right?"
"General Yu is wrong. Da Kun still attaches great importance to this mission to Dayan and brings full sincerity."
"That has nothing to do with me. It's something you and His Majesty should discuss. I only know how to fight wars, not diplomacy or politics."
Xu Ke laughed awkwardly and said,
"General Yu, I am here to visit you on the orders of His Majesty. His Majesty said that you have been weak and sickly since childhood, and Yan State is often cold. Now that autumn is approaching, I hope you will take good care of yourself.
He is far away in Shengjing, and there is really not much he can do to help."
"hehe."
Yuhuatian sneered.
"By the way, Commander Yu, His Majesty asked me to ask you if you have any plans to return home. His Majesty has always been very concerned about you.
His Majesty said that as long as you are willing to go back, His Majesty is willing to negotiate peace with the State of Yan. Whether it is ceding land or paying compensation, it is worth it as long as he can get you back and these 150,000 Kun Army soldiers back.
A thousand gold pieces are easy to come by, but a general is hard to find. The value of General Yu is far more important than a few cities."
After saying that, Xu Ke stared at Yu Huatian without blinking.
"Oh? I didn't expect that I am so important in the eyes of Emperor Kun."
"After all, people only learn to cherish after they have lost something. Your Majesty, it is too late for you to regret. Now I just want to make up for it and do my best to win you back."
Yu Huatian looked up to the sky and sighed deeply, and asked,
"How is Emperor Kun doing now? I remember that he was fond of wine and women, and his body was bloated and getting worse day by day."
Hearing this, Xu Ke was delighted and said quickly,
"Your Majesty was already in poor health, and since General Yu was defeated and captured, he has become even more anxious and depressed. He has become ill and can't get over it. He misses General Yu far away in the north every day."
"Emperor Kun...you still need to take good care of your health."
Yu Huatian sighed,
"He can't die. I'm still waiting to conquer Shengjing one day so I can chop off his head with my own hands. If he dies, I won't be able to avenge my brothers and me. That will be a lifelong regret."
Hearing this, Xu Ke's expression froze for a moment. It was so exciting.
After a moment, he smiled awkwardly and knew that he could no longer persuade Yu Huatian about this matter.
Whether it was because walls have ears or because he was sincere, Yuhuatian would never say that he wanted to go back to Kun Kingdom.
Xu Ke stopped talking and said,
"General Yu, tomorrow I will be going to court to meet the Emperor of Dayan. After all, you are also a Kun person. I would like to ask for your guidance. What are the personalities of the Queen of Dayan and Prince Shen? Is there anything I should be aware of? I will not accidentally offend them."
Yu Huatian thought about it and thought that since they were from the same hometown, he could help as much as he could, so he said,
"Emperor Yan and Prince Shen are both very young and married. They are very kind to their own people and are magnanimous. They will not be punished for their words. Even if they have different opinions, they can express them and even argue about them. There is no problem.
As for temper, Emperor Yan has a very good temper, but Prince Shen has a bad one. This is what Prince Shen said himself, and I am not gossiping behind his back.
Prince Shen said it himself that he was a vengeful person.
If you scold him, he will scold you; if you hit him, he will hit you. In short, you can provoke him, but he will retaliate in the same way.
