Liu Wencai's generous and carefree expressions disappeared. His eyes were as big as a lantern, and his mouth widened, and a duck egg could be stuffed into it.

"Yes... well, little prince, are you?" Zhu Xiuyuan frowned slightly, and the strange feeling came again.

When he was in the back hall of the yamen yesterday, Zhu Xiuyuan was surprised by the performance of the officials, but for some reason, he had not yet figured out the reason.

But I never thought that even Liu Wencai heard about this...

Too weird!

Then the envoy of Liang State should be human, is that scary?

"Brother Zhu, I remember that I still have something to do in Huzhou, so I'll take the lead..."

After Liu Wencai was stunned for a moment, he ran towards the dock without saying a word.

Is this trying to run away?!

Zhu Xiuyuan grabbed Liu Wencai and asked, "Wait, little prince, what are you doing? Are you just the envoy of Liang State? What are you afraid of?"

"Or I want to receive the envoy of Liang State in Xunyang Tower, which makes you feel like it's a waste?" Zhu Xiuyuan said again.

Liu Wencai's body... is comparable to Zhu Xiuyuan's body.

Therefore, Zhu Xiuyuan's weakness actually grabbed Liu Wencai, making him unable to move.

Liu Wencai, who could not escape, was stunned when he heard Zhu Xiuyuan's words, turned to look at Zhu Xiuyuan, with a look of confusion on his face and asked, "Brother Zhu, you... don't you know?"

Zhu Xiuyuan was confused and guilty and asked back: "What do I know?"

"Empress of Liang State!"

"I know the envoy of Liang State. I am planning to welcome them."

Liu Wencai looked at Zhu Xiuyuan in a daze for a long time.

Zhu Xiuyuan felt guilty, but he thought, since he had to find someone to figure out this problem anyway, so he might as well ask Liu Wencai.

Although he felt relieved, he held back and never showed any abnormality. He looked back at Liu Wencai with great confidence.

"Hey!" Liu Wencai was defeated, "It seems that Brother Zhu, you really don't know... but that's right. The envoy of Liang State has never crossed Jiangzhou in the future. Brother Zhu, you don't know... too..."

"Little Prince, what's the problem with the envoy of Liang State?" Zhu Xiuyuan asked.

"Uh...Brother Zhu, are you... scared?"

Zhu Xiuyuan was slightly stunned. The performance of the officials in the back hall of the yamen and Liu Wencai's just now flashed through his mind... He thought for a while and replied, "I'm afraid, why aren't I afraid! But this matter fell on my father-in-law. As a son-in-law, I must share my father-in-law's worries!"

"By the way, aren't you still there? You are the prince? You are the prince. If you are here, I'm not that scared! Haha!"

Liu Wencai was shocked when he heard this.

He stared at Zhu Xiuyuan blankly, his eyes showing inexplicable expression.

Zhu Xiuyuan was stunned. What was going on? Did he say something wrong just now?

"Okay!" Liu Wencai screamed suddenly, his eyes becoming firm, "Brother Zhu, for my brother, I will give up now, I will sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman! No matter what, I am the prince, I... I am not afraid of the envoy of Liang State...Brother Zhu, I will protect you!"

Zhu Xiuyuan looked at Liu Wencai who was in a state of "self-sacrificing and then being moved by himself", and a hundred question marks popped up in his heart.

This...is too exaggerated!

Isn’t it just that I received the envoy of Liang State in Xunyang Tower? Why did it seem like...it was a life-and-death situation?

This made Zhu Xiuyuan even more curious about the "story" of the envoy of Liang Kingdom.

...

Through Liu Wencai's repeated narration, Zhu Xiuyuan finally understood.

What kind of creature is the envoy of Liang State that everyone fears!

This matter has to start with the relationship between Chen State, Liang State and Yan State...

To put it simply.

Chen State is located half of the Yangtze River south of the Yangtze River, and governs Jiangnan West Road, Jiangnan East Road, Lingnan Road, Wuzhong Road and other places.

The southern land is relatively wealthy, especially in Runzhou Prefecture, which is known as the most prosperous world.

But wealthy is rich, but the Chen Dynasty, from the kings to officials of all levels, to the people of Dawn, were fascinated by this rich and gentle land, and it was inevitable that it would be a little bit short of its ambition.

The consequences of this trend are serious, such as it directly leads to the weakness of Chen State's military.

Although there are many soldiers and generals in Chen State, except for some elite soldiers, most of them are a group of mobs!

The situation in Liang State is the opposite of that in Chen State.

The Liang Kingdom is located in the northwest, and is under the jurisdiction of Longyou Road, Guannei Road, Gyeonggi Road, Shannan East Road, Shannan West Road, Jiannan Road and other places.

The northwest is desolate, and except for the Jiannan Shuzhong, it is far less prosperous than the Jiangnan area.

The people of Liang State were simple and the customs of the people were naturally strong.

The most important point is that the grassland empire "Northern Yuan" was occupied in the north of Liang State, and the "Da Fan" on the plateau was eyeing it in the southwest.

In order to resist the coveting of the two empires of "Northern Yuan" and "Dafan", the Liang State united from top to bottom and focused on developing military forces.

This led to the Liang Kingdom's soldiers being many and wide, and there were still some brave generals and tiger and wolf soldiers.

The Liang State was strong. In addition to being able to strongly intimidate the "Northern Yuan" and "Dafan", the Liang State could also free up a hand to "help" Chen State to resist the threats from Yan State, Qianzhong, and western Lingnan Road.

Naturally, it is not free to "help" Chen to resist external threats.

Chen State needs to pay tribute to Liang State every year, and the tributes cover gold, silver, grain, cloth, ironware, salt, tea, porcelain, etc.

The tributes from Chen State are not only of a wide variety of products, but also of an astonishing number.

In previous years, the ships that transported tributes went upstream along the Yangtze River and passed through Jiangzhou, and that scene... tsk, the long fleet could not be completed in one day...

The reason why Chen State was willing to pay tribute obediently was mainly to resist the Yan State from the northeast.

Yan State has jurisdiction over Hebei Road, Hedong Road, Henan Road, Duji Road and other places.

Compared with Chen and Liang, Yan learns from their strengths and weaknesses, and the people's livelihood and military affairs are relatively balanced.

There are fewer threats from Yan State. The Liang State in the west is more than enough to defend against the "Northern Yuan" and "Dafan" and can also collect the "protection fees" of Chen State.

However, if you want to move Yan State, Liang State will be beyond your reach, so Liang State does not pose a threat to Yan State.

The biggest threat to Yan State is also the "Northern Yuan" Empire on the northern grasslands.

But Liang State restrained the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and relatively speaking, Yan State did not have much difficulty.

The Yan people were cunning and leisurely, so they often sent troops to bully the weak Chen State.

At this time, Liang State needs to come out to "uphold justice".

After all, so many tributes are collected every year, it is at this time that it works.

This pattern of getting along between Chen, Liang, Yan and the three countries has been maintained for decades.
