Luo Xuan, the Minister of Rites, is in his sixties this year. He is very plump and has a tire around his waist. He can't see his toes when he lowers his head. He is always smiling, resembling a "smiling tiger".

After Chen Youniao talked with him, he found that Luo Shilang had a smooth temperament and a typical officialdom veteran. It was perfect for him to serve as the envoy of the envoy this time.

When the dynasty sent an envoy, more than a dozen carriages formed a guard of honor, plus 300 divine armored soldiers to guard it. The general leading the army was called "Qiu Zhengxi". He was a fourth-rank Xuanwu captain, and his rank was not low.

.In addition to leading the military escort, he also served as deputy envoy.

A third-rank minister, a fourth-rank captain, and a seventh-rank Hanlin editor were the three members of the envoy group. This standard was sufficient for a return visit to the two major vassal states.

The envoys from Zhongshan and Fumeng had already left Beijing yesterday, which was equivalent to one day in advance. Their trip was not satisfactory. They did not even see Emperor Zhengming. They only had one round of talks with the old chief minister and did not implement any specific terms.

but.

Not only that, the envoys were also attacked in the capital. Di Linyi was stabbed in the lower abdomen and almost died on the spot.

The murderers fled without a trace, and Mao was not caught.

Because the opponent's soul is hidden and he does not use Taoist techniques, the inhuman martial arts he performs are quite strange, and there is no way to detect his origins. This is what makes him most angry.

The envoys from the vassal state left in anger. When they returned, they didn't know what kind of report they would make to their king, and how they would entertain the envoys from the dynasty.

This is exactly what Chen Youniao has to worry about. He doesn't know what Luo Xuan and Qiu Zhengxi think, but he himself always has a cautious habit of thinking before acting before doing something.

Seeing his taciturn appearance, Luo Xuan took the initiative to ask if it was because of this errand that he could not return home in glory, thus suppressing his resentment in his heart.

Of course Chen Youniao replied no.

Not really.

For most scholars, being named on the gold medal list and returning home in fine clothes are extremely honorable things for their ancestors.

But Chen Youniao is not included. He is a foreigner and does not have a high sense of belonging to the local clan. After practicing Taoism, he has become even more indifferent to worldliness.

Luo Xuan asked again: "Are you worried that you will be in danger when you go to the feudal lord as an envoy?"

"I heard that there are many demons in the vassal country, and they are ferocious and bloodthirsty."

Luo Xuan chuckled: "Whether it's fierce or not, whether it's fierce or not depends on the person. For ordinary people, the servants of the yamen are also fierce and cruel."

Chen Youniao understood what he meant. There was a relative relationship between people. To put it bluntly, the vassal country did not dare to be rude to the dynasty envoys unless they wanted to break their faces and start a war directly.

This is the worst situation, but it is also the most unlikely situation. If there is a fight, why do you need to send an envoy and I send an envoy?

However, Chen Youniao has seen many changes in the situation, and always thinks of the worst and always be cautious.

Luo Xuan added: "Actually, I was sent as an envoy to Fu Meng Kingdom ten years ago."

Chen Youniao suddenly became energetic: "Master Luo, what is the Fumeng Kingdom like?"

"In my opinion, it's pretty good. Although the etiquette is a bit worse than that of the Central Plains, it's decent, and the food and drink are good. Especially the beef and mutton are extremely delicious. The cooking method is unique and you can't eat it anywhere else."

Chen Youniao: "..."

I realized that my question was in vain. This Minister Luo had been to the feudal country once, and the impression he left behind was all about eating, drinking, having fun, and the passionate women of the feudal country...

It is not surprising that when the dynasty sent an envoy, the vassal country naturally entertained them warmly and sent them all the food, drinks and fun.

As for the true appearance of the vassal state, who cares?

No wonder Luo Xuan had a relaxed look on his face, Ganqing went there with the goal of "reliving old dreams".

In contrast, Qiu Zhengxi is much more serious. He is a military commander, tall and powerful.

Anyone who can become the captain of the Divine Armor Army must have extraordinary martial arts. In his body, Chen Youniao noticed the rich energy and blood, like steaming clouds. From a distance, it looked like a blazing fire.

The burning flames have a certain amount of backlash damage to the soul of the soul.

Chen Youniao could clearly see that the other party had entered an inhuman realm of martial arts.

As the ruling force of the dynasty, the Divine Armor Army has extraordinary combat power. In addition to possessing a variety of hugely lethal instruments, it is also skilled in formations.

In addition, individual generals themselves are very powerful masters. However, due to strict military discipline, their reputation rarely spreads to the world.

Chen Youniao had seen the power of the Divine Armor Army twice with his own eyes. The first time was in Haidai County, when the Divine Armor Army was dispatched and killed several monsters; the second time was in Luyun County, where they also dealt with the vassal vassal.

National demon.

But he didn't expect that this time he would have the opportunity to work with the high-ranking generals of the Divine Armor Army.

However, Qiu Zhengxi is serious and unsmiling, like a rock, with a typical military style. It is quite difficult to get something out of his mouth.

After Chen Youniao tried to talk twice, he gave up. He couldn't ask for any useful information, and if he asked too many questions, he would attract suspicion.

Then just quietly be your deputy, walking, reading, and practicing at the same time, which is not much different from the previous days.

The carriage was the one sent by Hu Ning, and the driver was Lao Qin. As for Guo Yuanming and others, they were with the other entourage.

The mission was well guarded, had strong soldiers and horses, and made great fanfare. Wherever it went, it was received with a high standard by the local officials. It went smoothly without any obstacles.

…

Haidai County, Chen family.

Since Governor Cao suffered a stroke and abdicated, the Chen family has risen strongly and replaced them, becoming the largest family in the area.

However, the Chen family's heritage has always been lacking, so a lot of hopes have been pinned on Chen Youniao.

After the New Year and March, good news came, Chen Youniao was named on the gold medal list, and the whole family was excited.

In the past, Taoism and Taoism accounted for most of Chen Youniao's significance to the clan, but when he passed the Jinshi examination, the weight of the imperial examination title was completely different and more influential. After all, secular people have little contact with Taoism and Taoism practice.

It's so rare that many people don't even know it exists.

The imperial examination fame is different. As long as you talk about it, it is nothing like being honored.

Immediately afterwards, even greater good news came. Chen Youniao's palace examination broke out, he passed the first class, and was directly selected as the Tanhualang.

Such a ranking is among the top in the entire history of Haidai County's imperial examinations. With such a figure in the clan, it can only be said that the ancestral graves are filled with smoke.

This is a good sign for success!

Everyone in the Chen family cheered and started organizing a grand banquet.

However, the latest news came that Chen Youniao had received the imperial edict and was going on a mission to the vassal state, and was temporarily unable to return home.

Everyone was inevitably disappointed, but then they thought about it. It was rare for Chen Youniao to receive holy grace as a newly promoted Jinshi, which was enough to show that the future was bright and promising.

At this time, the patriarch Chen Sangong did not forget about a certain "unworthy disciple" and quickly sent out manpower to see if he could find Chen Mudao...

…

Yunshan Temple is prosperous. With the secret support of the Taoist Governor's Office, the Taoist Temple has developed and grown, becoming the number one temple in Haidai County.

Chen Youniao no longer serves as the temple master, and the deputy temple master Cangsong Taoist takes over.

This was his dream position, but after actually sitting on it, Cangsong Taoist was not very happy, but felt weak. He didn't know exactly what happened, but in his mind, the master of Yunshan Temple
Chapter completed!
