Ten days passed quickly.
After a two-month long journey, the Qin diplomatic mission finally arrived in Chang 'an.
There was a reason why the diplomatic corps was so slow.
Qin was located at the border, and the road was far away. There were many people in the diplomatic group, and they had brought hundreds of carts of gifts, so they moved very slowly.
However, they finally arrived.
Is this Chang 'an Fortress?"
In the long line of diplomatic corps, the curtain of a carriage was lifted, revealing the face of a young man with a scholarly air.
It was Fu Su!
He looked at the majestic city that was like a giant beast lying dormant not far away and was extremely shocked.
The city in front of him was more than ten times more majestic than Xianyang.
"Chang 'an is known as the world's most powerful city. Although it is a bit self-deprecating, it is indeed not something that even the King of Qin can compare to.”
A warm voice sounded.
The middle-aged man sitting opposite Fu Su stroked his beard and smiled, as if he had seen through Fu Su's thoughts.
"The Prime Minister has been to Chang 'an?" Fu Su asked.”
The middle-aged man whom he addressed as Prime Minister was the representative of the diplomatic mission to the Tang Empire, the Right Prime Minister of Qin-Zhang Yi!
Yuan Fusu and Zhang Yi had a good relationship.
After two months of interaction, Fu Su had gotten familiar with this important official who was deeply trusted by Ying Zheng and managed the entire Qin Country in an orderly manner.
Zhang Yi had a gentle and easy-going personality. He was the easiest to get along with among the civil and military officials in the court. What was even rarer was that he was a person with great wisdom.
The longer he talked with him, the more Fu Su could feel the wisdom of this Left Minister, and at the same time, he benefited a lot.
"I came to Chang 'an to study when I was young.”
Zhang Yi nodded his head slightly as a look of reminiscence flashed in his eyes.
"Chang 'an is the capital of literature that all the scholars in the world yearn for. A spring breeze, a galloping horse, a day to see all the flowers of Chang 'an, how romantic and wanton was that!”
"I wonder when our Great Qin will be as talented as the Great Tang.”
Hearing this, Fu Su smiled and said,""Prime Minister, you don't have to be envious. As long as we work hard and unite as one, Great Qin will surpass the Great Tang.”
"At that time, all the talents in the world will join our Great Qin Empire!”
His tone was calm and firm.
Zhang Yi was stunned when he heard this. He immediately cupped his hands and said seriously,"If Young Master has such ambition, why would Great Qin not prosper?”
Ever since Fu Su woke up from his coma, he felt that Fu Su seemed to have changed into a different person. He was less indecisive, and more like the King of Qin, Ying Zheng, who would say shocking words from time to time.
However, in his opinion, this was a good thing.
Now that it was a time of great strife, with the rise of various countries and the eventual chaos of the world, leniency and kindness were of little use.
The State of Qin needed more kings like Ying Zheng to lead the State of Qin to new heights!
While the two were talking, the long entourage of the Qin diplomatic mission arrived outside Chang 'an City.
Outside Chang 'an City, a black-armored general had been waiting for a long time with thousands of cavalry.
After seeing the Qin diplomatic mission, the black-armored general immediately dismounted and cupped his hands towards the black horse carriage.
"The Black Armored Army has received His Majesty's orders to welcome Young Master Qin into the city.”
"However, there is a ban in the city that forbids large numbers of people from bringing weapons and armor into the city.”
"Thus, apart from the members of the diplomatic mission, you can allow at most a hundred guards to enter the city. The rest of the guards, please stay here temporarily.”
" What?!"
One of the guards was furious.
Apart from the members of the diplomatic mission, only about a hundred guards were allowed to enter the city?
This was clearly a show of strength!
As soon as he moved, the cavalry behind the black-armored commander followed suit. The sound of metal clashing rang out, and the aura was extremely solemn!
The most elite army of the Tang Empire, the Tang Empire's Black Armor Army!
This was an elite heavy cavalry force supported by the entire Tang Empire. There were only 30,000 of them.
However, their equipment and the quality of their soldiers were all top-notch. It could be said that they were elites to the extreme!
Compared to the well-equipped Black Armor Army, the guards accompanying the Qin diplomatic mission appeared very shabby. Their equipment was simply incomparable.
In an instant, his aura was suppressed.
"What do you want?"
Meng Yi suddenly snorted and fearlessly took a step forward, staring straight at the black-armored commander.
All the soldiers in the guards put their hands on the swords at their waists and looked at the black-armored soldiers coldly, without any fear in their eyes.
There was only a raging battle intent!
The people of Qin were warlike and good at fighting. No matter how strong the enemy was, they would only fight to the end and never retreat!
"This group of Qin people!"
The black-armored commander was slightly shocked, because he could sense an extremely dangerous feeling from the Qin soldiers in front of him.
He directly told him that if they started the war now, even if they could wipe out the other party, they would have to pay a painful price.
But how was this possible?
Their equipment had clearly completely crushed the other party!
Just as the atmosphere was tense, a gentle voice suddenly sounded.
"Since it's a ban, we should naturally obey it.”
"However, our Qin and Tang Kingdoms are about to establish diplomatic relations. Whether it is the members of the diplomatic mission or the guards of the diplomatic mission, they are all citizens of Great Qin and have come to visit the kingdom with good intentions.”
"As the saying goes, a visitor is a guest. Is this how the Great Tang treats its guests?”
These words evaded the issue of the ban and returned the etiquette of receiving guests to the Great Tang.
"This…"
The black-armored commander was drenched in sweat. He did not dare to respond to these words, or else he would be confirming the Great Tang's reputation for rudeness.
Moreover, it might even affect the alliance between the two countries!
After some hesitation, he finally did not dare to take the risk. He cupped his fists and bowed to the black carriage, saying apologetically,"I was rude."
With that, he made a hand gesture and the black-armored soldiers went forward to open the way for the diplomatic mission.
Only then did the diplomatic mission of the State of Qin continue to head toward Chang 'an.
........
Inside the carriage.
"Young Master really surprised me. I thought Young Master would compromise.”
Zhang Yi looked at Fu Su deeply.
Just now, Fu Su had easily resolved the Great Tang's dilemma. This was a brilliant move.
Fu Su smiled faintly and said," Great Qin and the Great Tang are equals. Why should we be weaker than them?"”
"It's better to put away some unnecessary arrogance.”
His tone was calm and confident.
Zhang Yi agreed with Fu Su's words, but he shook his head slightly and said,""Looks like the alliance this time won't go so smoothly.”
Tang wanted to form an alliance with Qin.
But the pride of the Tang was hard to accept.
This might also be the key to affecting the alliance.
Hearing this, Fu Su could not deny it. He looked at the scenery outside the carriage that was constantly moving backward.
Chang 'an was the most magnificent city in the world, and it was not a lie.
Just the city walls alone were over a hundred feet tall, piercing into the clouds, and extremely wide.
The closer he got to the city wall, the more oppressive the feeling became.
The towering city walls stood tall. Standing below the city walls and looking up, one could not help but feel a sense of inferiority.
There were six tall city gates on the city wall, but only one of them allowed pedestrians to enter and exit.
The rest were used for carriages and trucks.
Chang 'an was the most prosperous place in the world. Merchants from all over the world would come here to trade.
After passing through the deep and serene city gate, what greeted his eyes was an extremely wide street.
It was wide enough for ten carriages to run side by side, and the streets were crowded with people. The shops on both sides were lined up, and the sound of shouting and peddling was endless. It was very prosperous.
Only by coming here could he truly understand the weight of the word 'Imperial City'!
The news of the marriage between the Qin and Tang countries had long spread.
Therefore, the arrival of the Qin diplomatic mission in Chang 'an attracted the attention of many people.
Many people wanted to see what Young Master Qin, who was about to marry the number one beauty of the Great Tang, looked like.
However, with the black-armored soldiers leading the way and protecting them, no one could get close to the Qin diplomatic mission.
The convoy slowly drove towards the palace.
