When he was in a good mood or when he was not in a good mood, he might ask the civil and military officials to come over for a meal and make fun of them. But tonight's banquet was very formal, and the reason was because of the small country that came over from the northwest.

Since the founding of the Great Yan Dynasty, it had been more than three hundred years. There were Northern Desert, and there were no other countries outside of the Southwest territory, but there were tens or even hundreds of different tribes and tribes. The East was near the sea, a natural barrier, and the Northwest was desolate, an endless desert.

The Northwest's desert was different from Mo Bei's. Mo Bei not only had the desert, but also a large area of oases. It was because of these oases that the Northern Reaches could recuperate and recharge their strength. As for the Northwest Great Desert, it was said that more than a thousand miles out, it was filled with yellow sand that filled the sky, causing no one to be able to see it. Thus, Nangong Kai Ran was also very curious. This small country that called itself the Sunlight Nation, just how did it survive in the desert?

Qin Xiao went to the entrance of the imperial palace to announce his identity, and a young eunuch who had been waiting for a long time led the way in. The palace at night was very different from the day. There were colorful lanterns hanging everywhere, giving the entire palace a feeling of being decorated with lanterns and decorations. However, although there were many people in the palace, very few people spoke up, so it was very depressing to watch the liveliness.

Since there was an emissary visiting, the banquet was set up in the east side. If the emperor was the one treating, then there would be a banquet in the west side garden. The garden on the east side was simple and grand, and to the west was the jade of the small house. Although it was said that everyone was invited to the banquet, the truth was that most of the officials were only seated in the outer garden and were unable to see the emperor. Only a few important officials, royal relatives, and the emissaries of the Sunshine Kingdom could enter the palace to dine with the emperor. Actually, Qin Xiao felt that the officials sitting outside were the most worthwhile. They came to the palace to have a free feast and chat with each other, and the most tiring ones were the few heavyweights sitting inside.

The young eunuch led Qin Xiao into the inner garden, which surprised her a little. However, when she saw that Xu Ling and the other two examinees were also there, Qin Xiao calmed down. No matter what the Emperor was planning, she had already made sure that the Emperor would pay attention to her. With Nangong KaiRan's personality, it was highly unlikely that he would be able to become the top scorer in this banquet.

Today, Nangong Kai did not bring his concubine to the stage, and only Third Princess Nangong Miao and Crown Prince Nangong Hong participated in the banquet. Today, Nangong Kai did not bring his concubine to the stage, and only Third Princess Nangong Miao and Crown Prince Nangong Hong participated in the banquet, and both of them sat to Nangong Kai Ran's left. On the right of Nangong KaiRan sat the emissary of the Sunshine Kingdom. Ha Ye took up a table by himself. He looked to be around forty years old, with a white face and no beard. He had a pair of long and thin eyes, a high nose bridge and thin lips. The two assistant envoys were a pair of twins. They didn't look that old, but they had baby faces and their speech and movements were extremely synchronized. They looked like they were having a lot of fun. The other two generals were dressed like martial artists as they sat at the same table with a pair of octagonal steel hammers hanging from their waists. Seeing this, Qin Xiaoliu felt extremely worried for them. The people sitting at the back were all wearing the uniform of the imperial guards. They were all sitting opposite of the examinees sitting at the back. In addition, Qin Xiao noticed that the guard his majesty was serving tonight was not Mo Qingfeng, but another youth wearing a red official's uniform with a saber at his waist.

Not long after Qin Xiaoliu sat down, the banquet started. The dishes were placed on the table one by one, accompanied by the sound of silk bamboo curling. In the middle, there was a large open space with a dancer dancing. The palace maids serving at the side served the wine to Qin Xiao, who sniffed it under his nose and instantly cupped his face with wine!

The ones in front would clash with the ones in the front, while the ones in the back would talk less. They should just do their job well and eat more, and talk less. The examinee sitting at the same table as her had a look of disgust as he moved to the side. Qin Xiao couldn't be bothered with him, he had to hurry up and eat when he could, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to eat even if he wanted to.

Although the Sunshine messenger, Ha Ye, had been ordered to surrender, his attitude made the officials feel slightly unhappy. This person was somewhat arrogant and unruly. If you were to describe him as hard to listen to, it would be the type to always look at others with your nostrils. On the other hand, Nangong Kai Ran was beaming with smiles and did not seem offended.

From what Haji had said, they had a general idea of the state of Sunshine. Simply put, they all lived in an ancient castle in the desert, isolated from the rest of the world. Their ancestors had been admonishing them not to enter the Central Plains, but after the death of their old leader, the new leader was unwilling to suffer in the desert all the time, hoping to establish a friendly relationship with the Central Plains.

"What's the point of having something to exchange with each other? Wouldn't it be better if you all directly moved into the Central Plains?" Although Nangong Kai Ran did not have the intention to establish a new territory, it was still worth it to directly annex all the friendly countries. The ancestors had said that we, the Sunshine people, must live in the place where the sun rises and must not move. Although the old chief has passed away and we have no choice but to obey the new leader's orders, we cannot disobey the teachings of our ancestors to leave our homeland. "

The officials looked at each other, feeling unhappy. Nangong Miao was the first to make a move, "Emissary Ha Ye, what you mean is that you do not wish to surrender, but are you forced by the leader's orders?" Ha Ye definitely did not say anything. The third princess cannot maliciously slander our sincerity. " Ha Ye smiled and lightly clapped his hands, and a guard below gave him a square chest, "This time, Ha Ye came to bring a great gift from my king, I hope that Your Majesty will accept it."

The officials looked curiously at the chest, and when the guard opened the lid a dark-skinned woman stood up. Her hair was very long at the ankles, braided into many little braids, tied up with a red ribbon, and she was wearing a white cotton dress that did not cover her in more places than it covered.

"This is my Sunshine Kingdom's number one beauty, Lothaya. Give your majesty a song and dance. Please enjoy it, Your Majesty." Ha Ye laughed as he took out a clay xun and started playing it on his lips.

Qin Xiao was gnawing on a chicken claw as he watched the performance. He was very curious as to how such a small box could fit into a person's body. With the beauty of the people in the Central Plains, Losia was not considered very beautiful. Her skin was too dark, her nose was too small, and her lips were too thick.

Those from the Sunshine Kingdom did not have any abnormal reactions. On the other hand, the people on his side, including His Majesty, were all red-faced, while Li Hui and Mo Jinglei were still able to control them. This was probably due to the lack of desire they had for many years in the army. However, the civil officials and examinees were obviously unable to control their brains, and in that moment, they looked as if they were about to fall into a hundred of unpleasantness.

Nan Gong Miao was not affected by it, but he saw that everyone was not in a normal state, he slapped the table and stood up, pointing at Ha Ye and scolded: "You are boasting such a lecherous song, stop now."

Ha Ye was busy blowing a tune and ignored her, but one of the assistant envoys beside him laughed: "Princess, don't say such things, this is just a normal dance song from my hometown, we all heard it since we were young, no one has ever said that it was some kind of lustful song, please take note of the words Princess had said, although we are here to surrender, we can't let you slander us."

"How dare you lie with your eyes open!" Nan Gong Miao stared angrily, his hand took out a whip from his waist and threw it towards the envoy, but the tip of the whip was caught by the assistant envoy, and with a little force, he grabbed onto the envoy's hand.

As Ha Ye was feeling pleased with himself, a thin whistle suddenly sounded out. His eyes swept across the arena and saw a young scholar cover his mouth at the end of the hall. That thin whistle was coming from him.

The whistling sound was ethereal and soft. At first glance, it reminded people of the sound of flowing orchid stream in a desolate valley. However, as the whistling sound became sharper, it was like a gust of cold wind coming from an extremely cold land. The sharpness seemed to have no end as it continued to rise higher and higher. It became sharper and sharper like a needle piercing through everyone's heart.

With a "pa" sound, the clay xun in Ha Ye's hand suddenly shattered, and the whistle followed him to the end. The officials of the Great Yan Dynasty felt as if they had awakened from a dream. Some of them even felt a headache coming on, making them feel nauseous. However, the party from the Sunlight Kingdom could no longer hear anything.
