"Your Majesty, we have entered the border of Western Turkestan. The Right Sage King of Western Turkestan, Zemir, is waiting for us ahead."
During the march in the past few days, Niu Jinda learned that King Qi Li You bribed his soldiers, and this guy didn't want to meet him at all, so he asked his soldiers to come and inform him if there was anything. At the beginning, we respected you as a prince, but who knew that you were making trouble behind your back, so don't blame us for disrespecting you.
But now they have arrived at the border of Western Turkestan, and there is a welcoming team from Western Turkestan ahead. Niu Jinda didn't want others to say that he didn't know the rules, so he rode his horse to Li You's carriage. The curtain of this carriage was always drawn, and some messy noises came out from inside. If there was nothing serious, Niu Jinda would let his soldiers stay away and let the palace guards escort him.
Anyway, you have all been stopped all the way from Chang'an to here, and you have all developed your own immunity. But we are different. We still have to stay in the northwest to continue fighting. How can we be affected by such voices?
In fact, the palace guards were also unwilling to listen to this. They were all hot-blooded men, but they had no choice. The soldiers in the northwest could choose to stay away, but they had to ensure Li You's safety, so they had to stay nearby. They had dark circles under their eyes from listening to this these days.
"I know, I know. Let them wait a moment."
It is obvious that King Qi Li You is busy now. If this guy gets a new beautiful woman, he will just pull down the curtain and start working in his carriage no matter where she is. The only thing he is grateful to Li Xiang for is this carriage. The area inside is large enough so that several people can sit in it without feeling crowded.
In addition, there are some ice cubes inside, which can make the temperature inside very low, so he enjoyed the whole journey. As for the thoughts of the surrounding soldiers, this guy didn't consider it at all. This is also one of the reasons why he couldn't bribe them. You don't respect the soldiers under your command at all, so why should you let them travel with you?
Although Li Xiang also brought his wife to the northwest, he was very careful. Normally, if he was marching outside, he would not lie in the carriage and do things with his wife. He was just like the soldiers, marching outside under the scorching sun. Just for this reason, the soldiers were willing to work for him.
"I am the Right Sage King of Western Turkic Khaganate, honored to meet His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi of the Tang Dynasty."
Although Prince Li You of Qi requested to wait a while, the convoy still passed at the original speed. There was no trouble at this moment because of kneeling. After all, he had already knelt on one knee earlier, and there was nothing to say now. The Right Wise King was ranked among the top three people in the Western Turkic Khaganate, so he also knelt down his right leg obediently at this moment.
However, Niu Jinda could see that everyone present was clenching their fists, which meant they were all unhappy. Of course, Niu Jinda didn't dwell on this. If you ask people to bend their knees, can't you allow them to feel unhappy?
In this situation, King Qi Li You could only tidy up a little and then get off the carriage. Looking at the people kneeling in front of him, Li You did not have much interest. Since the moment he left the border, countless people had knelt here. He could be said to be the first person to enjoy these etiquette, even earlier than Li Shimin and Li Xiang.
Of course, this was also something he fought for. If he hadn't made such a strong request at that time, then none of this would have happened.
"Everyone, get up. In consideration of your filial piety, I will not say anything else to you. Go to a nearby place to rest."
Prince Qi Li You said nonchalantly, and this attitude made everyone present feel uncomfortable, but Niu Jinda was very happy next to him. If other princes were sent over, those people would have to take the dignity of the Tang Dynasty into consideration and would have to exchange a few words with these people. But Prince Qi Li You did not have such an idea. He just wanted to live his life as he pleased. It would be really difficult for him to make him greet people in such a sunny day.
"We have prepared a resting place for His Royal Highness. It is not far ahead. Please move forward."
The Right Wise King was the best at chatting within the Western Turkic Khaganate. He pointed to a huge tent in the distance. The scale of this tent was the same as that of the Khan of the Western Turkic Khaganate. In order to set up this tent, they spent a lot of manpower and material resources, and this was also because they did not want Li You to cause trouble.
When they made way, something they didn't expect happened. It was only a few hundred meters away, but Li You didn't even think about going with them. He actually returned to his carriage and asked the coachman to drive the carriage over.
Looking at the red carpet that had been laid out on the ground, it was very expensive, but the coachman didn't even look at it and just walked forward.
The people present were instantly enraged. When they tried to argue, the people around them held them back. These carpets are expensive, but then again, how can they compare to the value of our entire country? "Haven't you read General Kang Ying's letter? The border region is already fraught with danger. We're no match for them. If there's an exchange of fire, our entire country could be destroyed."
The Right Wise King was famous for his good temper, otherwise, General Kangying would not have specifically asked him to come for the reception. The Western Turkic Khan listened to General Kangying more, so he sent him over, but even he couldn't stand it at the moment.
However, this guy took a deep breath and adjusted his temper. Now he had no other choice but to follow the carriage. But when these people were about to go up, several of Li You's palace guards squeezed in first.
"How dare he?"
Several important officials of the Western Turkic Khaganate could no longer bear it, but when these words came out, Niu Jinda looked back and these people's mouths were immediately shut. If they made the Tang Dynasty general unhappy, they would be subject to the same supervision.
The Right Wise King waved his hand and ordered his men to pull these important ministers away. They must not be allowed to continue following. If they were allowed to continue following, this matter would definitely cause a commotion. Since they had already decided to bow their heads, they should not show their dignity in the process, because the price of showing dignity was too high, and it could be the destruction of the entire country.
