Chapter 292 Diplomatic Mission to Various Countries
Kucha.

"Your Majesty, this time, Lord Wushuang is leading an army of 20,000. With the sharpness of our Great Qin army and Lord Wushuang's bravery and skill in fighting, do you think that a tiny country like Kucha can really resist?"

A disciple of a famous master, who was said to be the descendant of Yin Wen, came to Qiuci on Tianxuan's orders and appeared before the King of Qiuci. This disciple of a famous master spoke eloquently, using the elegant voice of the Central Plains to introduce to the King of Qiuci the huge disparity in strength between the Western Regions and the Qin State.

The King of Kucha, like other Western Region nobles, was familiar with the elegant music of the Central Plains. Upon hearing this, the King of Kucha, who looked to be in his forties and had a large black mole on his left cheek, interrupted the disciple of the famous family coldly: "As you said, does this mean that I have no choice but to surrender to the Qin army?"

"No." Seeing that the King of Kucha's attitude had softened, the famous disciple of the famous master Yin Zhong said, "Your Majesty, you are not surrendering to the Qin Empire, but for mutual benefit! For many years, the grassland wolf tribe has frequently harassed the Western Regions and bullied you."

"As long as you are willing to cooperate with our Great Qin, abide by our Great Qin laws, and learn the culture of the Central Plains. With the protection of the Great Qin, you will never have to be bullied by the grassland wolf tribe again."

…………

Dayuan.

"Your Majesty, my master once said before I came here that among all the countries in the Western Regions, Dayuan's fine horses are the best. Seeing them today, it is indeed just as your master said."

The famous envoy who was sent to Dayuan met the King of Dayuan on a pasture covered with lush green grass.

The extremely fine horses were running at a very fast speed on the pasture covering several miles. This attracted the attention of the disciples of the Gongsun family, who were born in the Gongsun Linglong family. Their ancestor Gongsun Long was famous for his theory that "a white horse is not a horse". To this day, there is still a white horse named Taxue in the family that is regarded as a family heirloom. They couldn't help but praise it.

"Thanks for the compliment."

The King of Dayuan rode a scarlet horse for more than an hour. The horse was sweating all over. When the King of Dayuan dismounted, his clothes, which were very different from those in the Central Plains, were stained with scarlet liquid.

"this?"

Hearing the elegant voice of the King of Dayuan, who looked to be in his early thirties with eyes full of shrewdness, the farmer's disciple's expression moved. Just as he was about to speak, he was startled when he noticed the blood color on the King of Dayuan's body.

When the King of Dayuan saw the blood on his body and the shock on the envoy's face, he smiled slightly and said complacently: "Don't make such a fuss. What's on my body is not blood, but the sweat of this horse." As he spoke, the King of Dayuan patted the warhorse beside him, and a hint of red appeared on his palm.

"This horse comes from the far west. It originally had a strange name. After arriving in the Western Regions, the sweat it shed looked like blood. So, my ancestors in Dayuan gave it a nice name: Blood Horse!"

"Blood horse?" The disciple of the famous family was stunned, chewing on this strange name.

The King of Dayuan said proudly, "It is a Ferghana horse! Not only does this horse sweat like blood, but it can also travel a thousand miles a day. It is truly a first-class horse." At this point, the King of Dayuan said with regret, "If there is a shortcoming, it is that the production of Ferghana horses is not high."

"Your Majesty, what do you mean?" The envoy who was sent to Dayuan on the orders of Tianxuan was confused and had no idea what the King of Dayuan was up to.

The King of Dayuan looked at the Ferghana horses reluctantly and said, "I intend to present ten Ferghana horses and thirty fine horses to His Majesty the First Emperor. What do you think?"

"Are you serious, Your Majesty?" The envoy, who came from a prominent family, could never have imagined that the King of Dayuan would take the initiative to show goodwill before he could even express his true feelings.

The King of Dayuan said sternly, "How dare I tease His Majesty the First Emperor?"

…………

Khotan.

A man who came from a famous family, whose appearance and figure could be described as ordinary, the kind of man who would be lost forever in a crowd. He came to the border of the small country of Khotan in the Western Regions, riding a camel-drawn carriage, surrounded by dozens of Qin soldiers in front, behind, and on both sides.

When the Qin army specially found an interpreter to communicate with the people of the Western Regions, they informed the Yutian soldiers guarding the border of Yutian of their purpose. The Yutian soldiers, who were originally free and undisciplined, suddenly seemed to be injected with chicken blood, and pointed their weapons at the Qin army. The undisguised murderous aura attacked the Qin army like a strong wind.

"Is there something wrong with the people of Khotan?" The messenger sitting in the carriage couldn't help but say in the face of the murderous aura.

"Does this mean you don't intend to see us at all?"

"It seems that Yutian is planning to stand against our Great Qin!"

"A bumpkin seeking his own death."

……

Seeing this, the Qin army soldiers were unmoved and started to complain and scold. Everyone secretly made up their minds to report all this to Tianxuan with exaggeration when they returned.

………………

Gongsun Linglong followed Zheng Ge's order to go to Wushuang City with thirty elite disciples from famous schools. During this expedition, Tianxuan stuffed all the thirteen military school disciples brought by Zhang Han into his army, and appointed them as military marquises, centurions and other grassroots military positions. He also sent all the thirty famous school disciples brought by Gongsun Linglong to visit Dayuan, Xiaowan, Yutian, Qiuci and other Western Regions.

With the help of mechanical creations such as the sand boat, the thirty disciples of the famous families quickly returned to Gumo City and reported the mission to Tianxuan.

"Dayuan has taken the initiative to express its willingness to pay tribute with BMWs!"

"Kucha's attitude has softened. It seems they are planning to sit on the fence and wait and see!"

"Small countries like Khotan simply turned away envoys!"

……

Gumo, the royal palace.

It was a charming night. Looking up at the sky, it was like a calm sea. The deep blue sky seemed even more tranquil. The bright moon was dotted in the vast sky, so big and so bright. The afterglow of the moon sprinkled down, a silvery-white light, casting a mysterious veil over the earth.

The palace hall was brightly lit.

Thirty emissaries from famous families reported their missions to Tianxuan one by one. After everyone finished speaking, Liu Ji, Zhou Bo, Chen Ping and others looked happy and worried. Tianxuan, who was sitting on the throne, leaned his head completely on the backrest of the throne and murmured about the attitudes of many small countries in the Western Regions towards the envoys he sent.

For a moment, in the silent palace, only Tianxuan's ambiguous words echoed.

Liu Ji and others all looked at Tianxuan with ambiguous expressions in their eyes, not understanding what the monarch meant.

Suddenly, hurried footsteps were heard from outside.

"Your Majesty, General Zhang Han and Mr. Zheng Guo are back." Along with their footsteps, a Qin soldier rushed into the hall, knelt on one knee, and reported to Tianxuan.

"Please come in." Upon learning that Zhang Han and Zheng Guo had returned, Tianxuan showed genuine joy on his face and said in a deep voice.

"Greetings, my Lord."

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

Soon, Zhang Han and Zheng Guo appeared in front of Tian Xuan and bowed. However, they did not look very good.
