Xue Yantuo's envoy was startled by the formation in front of him, and looked at the students and special combat team members on both sides of the column, needless to say, those special combat team members, as soon as they stood there, the killing momentum on their bodies burst out, although their faces were expressionless, but they made people feel a chill for no reason. And those cadets of the military academy are also standing in a military posture, with a majestic and awe-inspiring appearance.

"Salute to the foreign guests and play the Tang Dynasty military song!" Suddenly, a loud shout fell, and as the words fell, the members of the military band immediately began to beat their drums, and the special combat team members and cadets on both sides of the concrete road sang in unison: "If the motherland is invaded......

The momentum shook the sky, and a heroic blood rose to the sky in the majestic singing. In Xue Yantuo's mission, the members of the special combat team who escorted Xue Yantuo's envoys to the Tang Dynasty also sang loudly, and the warriors in Xue Yantuo's envoy group were also infected, and they couldn't help but be inexplicably excited.

After singing a song, Duan Zan led Xue Yantuo's envoy group past the soldiers on both sides of the line, and saw Xia Hongsheng and the others standing at the end.

When Xue Yantuo's envoys walked in some more, Xia Hongsheng took a step forward and greeted everyone from Honglu Temple.

"This Hou is Hou Xia Hongsheng of Jingyang County, Datang, at the behest of His Majesty, on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I came to greet you and welcome you to Datang!" Xia Hongsheng said with a smile to the Xue Yantuo envoy.

Xue Yantuo's envoy obviously had never seen such a battle, and he didn't know whether he was frightened, or he was impressed by the fierceness of the Tang Dynasty soldiers, he was a little stunned at this moment, and when he heard Xia Hongsheng ask, he was suddenly surprised. Hurriedly bowed and saluted. said: "Xue Yantuo envoy Zagu. Meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and meet the Marquis of the Tang Dynasty! ”

While he bowed and saluted, Xia Hongsheng was already observing him, he was not young, and he didn't look as strong as the Turks, although his face could be seen to be from the Turkic side, but if he looked closely, he was somewhat similar to the Han people.

"Zagutler doesn't need to be polite, His Majesty has already decreed. Xue Yantuo is a friend of the Tang Dynasty, and he teaches Hou Haosheng to receive him, so don't slack off for half a point. Xia Hongsheng smiled and grabbed Zagu with both hands, helped him up, and said: "Zagutler came from afar, all the way to the car and horses, dusty and dusty, arrived in Chang'an today, presumably already physically and mentally exhausted. Let's go, Ben Hou and take Zagutl to rest. ”

"That's right. There is Lao Houye! Envoy Xue Yantuo saluted again and said.

The crowd stood still. Duan Zan shouted: "Close!" ”

I saw that the soldiers on both sides of the road turned around in unison, quickly approached each other, and gathered in pairs.

"Run-walk!" At the sound of an order, everyone ran away, and the whole process was smooth and neat, without even a trace of other sounds, and the sound of running was even more chaotic.

"Huh! It's really the best in the world! Orders and prohibitions are uniform. Hundreds of people, acting like one person! Zagu exclaimed.

Xia Hongsheng smiled and said, "This, hehe, I'm not afraid of Zagutler's jokes, where are these people elite, not even a real warrior." They are just cadets of the military academy, they have not yet graduated, and they cannot bring them to the standard of a real Tang warrior. But for the time being, it can't compare to the warriors on the grassland. ”

"This ......" Zha Gu listened to Xia Hongsheng's words, his eyes flickered, he looked at the Tang soldiers who ran away, and said: "The Tang warriors are really worthy of their reputation, and they only know when they see it today!" My grandmother was Han Chinese, and since she was a child, she often heard her bring glory to Chang'an, so she admired her and often admired her. I have the opportunity to come to Datang this time, and I am excited. When I saw the scene of Chang'an for the first time today, I was surprised! Hehe, this ground ...... How can it be so smooth and hard, even if the horse's hooves are stepped on, it will not break. ”

Xia Hongsheng smiled and said: "This road is paved with cement, flat as a mirror, hard as a rock, exposed to water but not cracked, trampled on the heavy but not scattered. ”

Hearing Xia Hongsheng say this, an official from Honglu Temple next to him frowned, opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but finally didn't say it. Xia Hongsheng saw it, and put aside it for the time being, invited Xue Yantuo's envoys to enter the city together, led everyone to the Sifang Pavilion, and placed them down.

It is indispensable to have a staggered meal, eating a Xia Mansion banquet and drinking royal wine, how could Xue Yantuo's people have ever eaten such a delicacy, and it was Xia Hongsheng who deliberately took into account their eating habits, and arranged the big fish and meat, not to mention anything else, just the taste of a roasted whole sheep made them almost bite off their tongues. They could buy liquor, but because the price was not cheap when they got there, only the nobles had the opportunity to buy it and taste it. Now Xia Hongsheng has taken out the best wine, and it is enough, so after a banquet, it will all be crooked. It's not that they forgot their duties, it's just that Xia Hongsheng deliberately chose someone who could drink in the Sifang Pavilion and Honglu Temple to accompany him, and you and I toasted a cup of toast, and I was drunk by myself.

Putting them all down and carrying them back to the room, Xia Hongsheng let out a long breath and sat up.

"Xiahou?" An official from Honglu Temple next to him saw Xia Hongsheng, who was originally lying at the table, sitting up again, so he asked.

Xia Hongsheng waved his hand: "I didn't expect these Xue Yantuo people to really be able to drink, so I still have to pretend to be drunk." ”

"Uh......" The man was stunned when he saw Xia Hongsheng pretending to be drunk.

"Don't be stunned, I tell you, from the moment they got out of the carriage, the contest between us began." Xia Hongsheng said to the people of Honglu Temple.

"This, Xiahou, I have a question for Xiahou." An official from the Honglu Temple said.

Xia Hongsheng looked at him and said with a smile: "I just saw you outside the city that you wanted to speak, and asked what was the matter?" ”

"The military academy is the foundation of my Tang army, and cement is also unique to the Tang Dynasty, why should Xiahou be exposed to Xue Yantuo today?" The man asked.

Xia Hongsheng smiled and asked rhetorically: "Lord Gao, let me ask you, you see cement every day, **** walk from the cement road, can you make cement?" ”

"Naturally, you can't." The man shook his head and said.

Xia Hongsheng clapped his hands: "That's it, so why should you worry about Xue Yantuo?" They want it too, but when they can't do it themselves, it's best to sell something! ”

The man was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly surprised: "Xiahou wants to sell cement to Xue Yantuo?!" ”

Xia Hongsheng grinned: "I can't help but sell cement to Xue Yantuo, I also have to help Xue Yantuo repair the cement road, it is best to go up from Datang all the way to the grassland!" (To be continued.) )
