Modinanga, the envoy of the Kushan Empire, said with a smile: "Our country has produced such a unique BMW in twenty years.
It's fine if the general likes it."
Liu Cheng smiled and patted Modinanga on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I like it, I like it very much."
Everyone returned to the palace to continue drinking and enjoying singing and dancing.
Liu Cheng asked: "Your Highness, you gave me these treasures.
What should I give when I go to see His Majesty?"
Modinanga smiled and said: "General, don't worry, I have prepared separate gifts for His Majesty the Emperor of your country.
They are lions and beautiful women.
Come, bring up the gifts prepared for the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, and open them to the General and the kings first."
Open your eyes" Several strong men carried a huge cage into the hall and placed it in the middle of the hall.
The cage was covered with black cloth, and then several warriors from the Kushan Empire escorted a veiled woman in gauze.
After entering, the woman bowed to Liu Cheng and the kings of various countries in the hall.
Modinanga raised his hand, and a warrior walked to the cage and took off the black cloth covering it.
He saw a ferocious lion in the cage.
When the lion saw the light and the people around him, he suddenly He opened his bloody mouth and let out a loud roar.
All the kings, warriors and guards in the hall were immediately frightened.
Two kings were so frightened that they became incontinent on the spot and made a fool of themselves in public.
After a while, everyone calmed down and knew that the lion would not pose a threat to them in the cage.
Modinanga raised his hand to the veiled woman in gauze again.
The woman in black stretched out her slender fingers and slowly took off the veil, revealing an exquisite and peerless face.
She was hung with a dazzling array of gold and silver jewelry.
Her appearance added a bit of beauty and mystery.
The men in the hall kept swallowing their saliva as they watched.
This is a beauty that is absolutely different from that of women from the Central Plains and women from various countries in the Western Regions.
There is a sense of exoticism and mystery in the peerless appearance.
It is no wonder that these pig brothers shed tears of shame one by one. of saliva.
I saw the woman slowly walking to the cage, putting a jade hand into the cage and stroking the mane on the lion's neck.
The lion looked like he was enjoying it.
This scene seemed to make everyone in the hall stare even more.
Big eyes.
Liu Cheng exclaimed: "Beauty and the Beast are really eye-opening.
These two gifts will definitely win the favor of His Majesty the Emperor of our country."
The beauty and the lion were finally taken down by the warriors, and it took a long time for everyone in the hall to come back to their senses.
At this time, the envoy of Xiu Xunguo stood up and said to Liu Cheng: "General, my country is small and has few people.
The land is barren.
The people make a living by grazing.
They have nothing valuable to offer to the general.
This time I brought a bird."
A young eagle that has not yet opened its eyes is called a snow eagle in our local area.
The first person it sees when it opens its eyes is its lifelong owner.
This kind of eagle grows to a huge size and can fight ligers and tigers.
It is extremely ferocious and is specially dedicated to general" Liu Cheng was very interested and immediately said: "Oh, where is it?
Let's take a look."

He carried a cage covered with black cloth, walked to the middle of the hall, took off the black cloth, and only saw the cage.
There was a snow-white bird inside, but the bird's head was covered with a piece of cloth, leaving only its beak exposed.
The birdcage was brought to Liu Cheng, and the messenger Xiu Xun introduced him: "General, I need you to personally untie the cloth that blindfolds it, and then feed it."
Liu Cheng immediately reached into the cage, took out the little bird and placed it on the table.
He untied the black cloth covering its eyes.
Its originally closed eyes slowly opened.
Its little head tilted and looked at Liu in front of it.
Cheng, opened his eagle mouth and called out to Liu Cheng twice.
The voice was very clear.
Who would have thought that this little guy would be able to tear apart a liger and a tiger when he grows up?
Liu Cheng immediately tore off a strip of meat from the lamb leg and handed it over.
The little Snow Eagle looked at the strip of meat, seemed to smell it again, and suddenly stretched out its eagle's beak to peck away the strip of meat.
It went into its stomach in two swallows, and then it He actually put his little head close to Liu Cheng's fingers and kept stroking it.
He even closed his eyes and looked like he was enjoying the tenderness.
"Hahaha, good, good, envoy of Xiu Xunguo, I like this gift very much.
Let's drink."
Liu Cheng laughed, picked up the wine cup and toasted to the envoy of Xiuxun.
At this time, the envoy from the Poison Donation Country also stood up and said: "General, I also have something to offer to the general.

Two followers of the poison donator brought in a black object the size of a basketball from outside the palace.
The poison donator introduced: "General, this is my people who broke through the cold ice several feet deep from the top of the Tianshan Mountains.
The cold iron mine dug out of the ice has been frozen on the Tianshan Mountains since the birth of the world.
The weapons made from it are extremely sharp and indestructible, and are even rarer than meteorite iron."
Liu Cheng was also very happy: "Okay, I also like this thing.
General, come, accept a few envoys and kings, let's have a drink together."

In addition, the Duhufu was allowed to recruit soldiers from the people of various countries in the Western Regions, with the number not exceeding 5,000.
The generals and officers were all appointed by the Han army, and military expenditures were shared among the countries in the Western Regions.
Before setting off, Liu Cheng summoned Shi Fu and Zhang Yan to the camp for a talk.
He said to Shi Fu: "Shi Duhu, I know that you have been in the Western Regions for many years and miss your hometown in the Central Plains.
However, there is really no one available for me now.
Even if you are not familiar with the situation in the Western Regions, or you have insufficient talents, I hope that you will serve as the Protector of the Western Regions for another five years.
I promise to transfer you back to Beijing after five years.
What do you think?"
Shi Fu took a deep breath, bowed to Liu Cheng and said: "Thank you, General, for understanding the veteran's homesickness.
In recent years, I have grown old and have been thinking about when I can return to my hometown.
Now I finally have hope."
Liu Cheng nodded and said to Zhang Yan: "Mr.
Zhang, do you want to stay in the Western Regions or return to the capital with me?"
There was infinite vicissitudes of life on Zhang Yan's face.
He raised his hands and said to Liu Cheng: "General, my mission in the Western Regions has been completed.
I persisted until the arrival of the general.
Now, all countries in the Western Regions are trembling under the general's reputation.
At least for twenty years.
Inside, they will never dare to act rashly.”
"In the past few years, I have always wanted to annotate the Han Dynasty, but due to the complex and changeable situation in the Western Regions, I have not been able to start it.
I hope to return to the Central Plains to find a secluded place to complete this matter.
Then I will have no regrets in my life. " Liu Chengdao: "Well, I will fulfill your wish.
This time you can follow me back to Beijing."
Early the next morning, the army set off after breakfast.
