All the way east.

As we gradually penetrated deeper into the interior of the Han Dynasty, we entered Guanzhong.

Members of the mission from the Western Regions experienced a completely different and exotic atmosphere.

The life here is very peaceful and quiet. People work step by step or chat with each other every day.

Their faces were filled with overflowing smiles, as if they had no worries at all.

What Quinto worried about didn't happen.

In the Western Regions and Wusun, no matter who goes out alone, they need to be careful.

Even if that place robs you, you may not be able to find anyone.

But it's completely different here, you don't have to worry about your safety at all.

Of course, this does not mean that there is no need to worry at all, but compared to the environment in the Western Region, people here can feel more at ease.

Every city they passed shocked them.

I have just finished marveling at the majesty and majesty of a city. If a city of this size were placed in the Western Regions, it could be used as a capital.

The city walls are taller and stronger than the walls of their capital city.

Moreover, various functions are relatively more complete, and it looks so good that no one can envy it.

However, when we arrived at the next city, we discovered that this was the normal behavior of the Han Dynasty.

The city they saw before was just the tip of the iceberg, and the city in front of them was bigger and more powerful.

Ten days later, the mission was no longer shocked.

Perhaps, they will be shocked when they see a dilapidated city.

As for hometown...

Think about it and forget it!

Most of the cities in the Western Regions have walls one foot high.

In the Han Dynasty, the lowest starting point is two battles. When encountering some large cities, the city walls are higher, and the starting point is three feet.

Facing such a tall and majestic city wall, this group of people still couldn't figure out how to attack to capture it?

Obviously, this issue is a century-old problem for them.

'Gudun...'

Quintu couldn't help but swallow a big mouthful of saliva.

Both feet were as heavy as lead, and the whole body seemed not to be his own.

"Lu... Ambassador Lu... this... this is Luoyang?" Kuntu asked in a rude voice, his whole body trembling slightly.

"Well, this is the capital of the Han Dynasty, Luoyang!" Lu Jia announced with pride on his face.

Although I was panicking in my heart, I must not lose face in front of foreign friends.

Is this the same little broken city of Luoyang that I remember?

It has only been less than four years. How many corvees did your Majesty recruit to build such a large city on flat land in less than four years?

What appears in front of us is Luoyang New City.

Wherever you look, there are city walls everywhere, and you can't see the edge at a glance. From this, we can see how big this city is?

On the road outside the city, you can vaguely see scattered groups of people walking in other directions.

Everyone knows that the mission is coming back today, so the city gate has been restricted from opening. If people want to enter and exit the city through here, they can only wait for the mission to enter, otherwise they can only go around other city gates.

"It's unimaginable... It's simply an unimaginable feat..." Quintu felt as if he had received a critical hit of 10,000 points.

I had been feeling emotional for so long along the way, but when I arrived in Luoyang, I realized that I was just a country bumpkin and had never seen anything.

If you don’t come to Luoyang once in your life, you won’t know how big the world is.

If you don't see for yourself how high the city wall of Luoyang is, life will not be a perfect life.

"Envoy Lu, can I go up and take a look?" Kuntu asked.

He has been to such a high place, but he has never been to such a high city wall.

Why do some people feel that the Great Wall is so spectacular when they see it? The moment they climb up, their mood is different.

Now Kuntu feels the same way. The Luoyang City in front of him is really too spectacular for him. If he can't climb up and take a look in person, I'm afraid he will lose sleep tonight.

"I'm afraid I can't make the decision. Let's discuss it later..." Lu Jia looked slightly embarrassed.

After all, I had boasted about my awesomeness before, but when I arrived in Luoyang, I didn't even have the authority to take them up to the city wall to observe.

It's a bit embarrassing to say it, but on this matter, he really went beyond his capabilities.

The position of envoy is indeed very powerful.

But that is after leaving the country. Abroad, an envoy has more power than any other person. He can even influence the destiny of a country.

But when they return to the country, the envoy's power is gone.

Take Lu Jia as an example. Apart from his title, he is at best the diplomatic director of the Ministry of Rites.

Therefore, even if he comes back, he will at most be in charge of diplomatic matters in the Ministry of Rites. Apart from those matters within the scope of his responsibilities, he will not be able to take care of anything else.

A horse jumped out from the city gate and ran towards the envoy quickly.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Jia suddenly glowed with glory again, his face full of pride.

"Old Prince, cheer up, His Majesty has come out of the city to pick us up in person!" Lu Jia smiled and glanced at Kuntu. Although he didn't let you climb the city wall, the emperor has come to pick me up. Do you think I have any respect for this?

have to?

However, Kuntu saw another meaning, his eyes sparkled, and he asked excitedly: "Lu Envoy, if I tell the Emperor of Han later that I want to take a look at the city wall, will he kill me?"

"

"Ahem..." Lu Jia coughed twice in embarrassment: "Eldest Prince, don't talk about such a happy day. If you want to take a look at the city wall, don't worry. After you settle down in the city, I will

Just go to the General of the Imperial Guard and tell him to take you up to take a look. Your Majesty is so busy every day, how can he have time to take you to climb the city wall?"

"It's okay. You don't need Emperor Han to take me up. It's the same for others to take me up. I told Nen that I was almost scared to death. I thought Emperor Han would kill me..."

"..."

The corners of Lu Jia's mouth twitched slightly, and two lines of tears instantly fell from his heart.

Lu Jia, Lu Jia!

Tell me about you...

Why……

If good people don't do anything, why bother teasing them when they have nothing to do?

It's okay now. If Kuntu opens his mouth or shuts up, he will either kill you or me. If the emperor says something he doesn't like to hear, he will be unhappy. He will twitch his head and say to the emperor, "I will kill you."

What to do?

That's right, if I kill you, it means I am unhappy. If I kill you, it means he is unhappy. This is what Lu Jia explained to Kuntu and the others.

At first I just thought it was fun, and since the journey was long, it was just for fun, but it turned out to be good.

…

On the other side, Wang Buxu was already waiting behind the city gate.

It's not for show, but the emperor's airs are here.

After all, he is an emperor, so he must have some character, right?

As a result, the ceremonial troops of the Forbidden Army formed two teams and walked towards the outside of the city with neat steps.

They had to line up outside the city first, and then the emperor would go out.

Before the envoys approached the city wall, the emperor had to stand outside the city gate.

This makes it appear that I am waiting for you, rather than coming out after you arrive.

Twenty days ago, Wang Buxu received news from Wuwei County that Lu Jia had returned with the envoy.

And some details were also reported, such as the fact that the blocking troops from Wusun and Qiuci mentioned by the guards who came back from earlier were actually missions sent by these two countries.

Because the mission learned the news in advance, they mistakenly believed that the two missions were blocking their troops, so they urgently released a group of guards to carry Bai Diezi back to the country through a detour.

The 3,000 soldiers sent by the Dawan Kingdom were destroyed by Wusun and Qiuci together, and more than 2,000 Dawan horses captured were all given to the Han Dynasty envoys.

By some strange combination of circumstances, Lu Jia still managed to obtain the Dawan horse.

Therefore, this trip to the Western Regions was very fruitful for the Han Dynasty.

Even if Lu Jia and the others could not come back, it would still be a huge gain for the Han Dynasty.

But the effect will ultimately have to be discounted.

Although Wang Buxu also felt a little pity for Zhang Qian, he would have nothing to do by emptying out the Western Region.
