On May 15th, just after the You hour, the sky was still bright. The little king from the Anxi countries and the tribal leaders entered the Kucha Palace in turn under the escort of the Anxi soldiers.

The Anxi Grand Duke has four towns under its jurisdiction. In addition to the four major countries, Kucha, Khotan, Shule and Yanqi, there are many small countries such as Jubin, Jimo, Yuli, Qianchijian, Zhu Jue, and Khanmi. In addition to these small countries, there are also tribes from the former Western Turkic areas such as Tuqishi, Gelulu, and Bahanna who sent princes and envoys to come.

Chen Guang stood on the wall of the Kucha Royal Palace, looking at the kings and envoys in the costumes of Tang Dynasty, and couldn't help but ask Feng Changqing beside him, "I thought they came to the banquet and were all wearing their own clothes, why did they wear my Tang Dynasty..."

"The Protector invited the various countries and ministries to the banquet. They came over to express their obedience to the Tang Dynasty. How dare they wear strange clothes?"

Listening to Feng Changqing's words, Chen Guang looked at the kings of the vassal states, the princes and envoys who attended the banquet, all wearing round necklines and long sleeves, and they couldn't help but think of the dazzling national costumes of later generations.

"They are all coming soon, let's go!"

Feng Changqing looked at Chen Guang who was inexplicably moved and said, "The territory under Anxi rule is vast. Although all small countries and tribes cannot come to the banquet, none of the more than 20 small countries near Bolu came here, and this is seeking death. The King of Xiaobolu really thought that if he married the Tubo princess, Tubo would be able to protect Xiaobolu, which was ridiculous.

Chen Guang didn't know that Feng Changqing brought him here to watch the kings of the countries and tribes. The envoys entered the palace not only to give him a greater understanding, but also to use Gao Xianzhi to see which kings are more respectful and who are more rebellious among the kings.

After they fully grasp the Anxi Protectorate, sooner or later they will be pacified or intimidated one by one, and even a change of kings to those small countries may be possible.

Entering the main hall of the Kucha Royal Palace, Chen Guang followed Feng Changqing to the seats of the two. Although the Tang Dynasty was already popular at this time, such important banquets representing the Tang Dynasty still knelt as etiquette. Even if the kings and tribal chiefs of small countries were not used to it, they had to learn to get used to it, otherwise they would despise the Han etiquette and provoke the majesty of the Tang Dynasty.

As the Anxi soldiers wearing armor and carrying swords shouted loudly, the kings and envoys of tribes of small countries entered the hall one by one, bowed to Gao Xianzhi, who was sitting on the main seat, and Gao Xianzhi also returned the salutes one by one.

This banquet was originally intended to show off the powerful force of the Tang Dynasty, so the hall was completely protected by soldiers from the Anxi Army. Even the people who were responsible for pouring wine were all soldiers in the Anxi Army with big arms and round waists.

If this was placed in the pass, it would definitely not happen. Moreover, Gao Xianzhi's behavior would probably be ridiculed and vulgar and ungrateful. However, Chen Guang looked at the trembling and respectful kings and envoys, and thought of the expressions of many people inside in front of the palace gate, and couldn't help but think of two words: arrogance at first and respectful at the latter, and the barbarians feared power but did not have virtue.

Only in this way can these small countries and tribes fear the Tang Dynasty from the bottom of their hearts that powerful force that completely declares the invincible Anxi Army can make these small countries and tribes fight!

Compared with those small countries, the kings of the four major countries, Kucha, Khotan, Shule and Yanqi, just leaned over and saluted Gao Xianzhi in between their seats. They sat on Gao Xianzhi's left hand side in turn, and on the right hand side were those famous generals with strong and powerful appearances and majestic figures in Cheng Qianli and the Protectorate's Mansion.

"The one next to Protector Cheng is called Tian Zhen, and the other next to Protector Cheng is called Li Siye. These two are the most brave generals in my Anxi Army. Tian Zhen is Cheng's Protector Cheng's Protector, and General Li is the Protector's favorite general. However, he went to the Yanqi Guardian to rectify the military affairs for Protector, and he rushed back yesterday."

Feng Changqing introduced the famous generals and rising stars in the Protectorate's Mansion to Chen Guang, and Chen Guang's eyes were always on Li Siye, who was still half a head taller than the people beside him after sitting down. This powerful general brother who was famous in later generations, said, "Those who are the heirs will be broken!" I don't know how many people fascinated me.

"Everyone, this cup is for the saint, and I wish the saint a lifetime."

Just when Shen Guang was in a daze, Gao Xianzhi's loud shout made him come to his senses, and then he quickly raised his glass to Chang'an and shouted with everyone, "Congratulations to the saint, may the saint live forever."

"This cup is for the Tang Dynasty, and I wish the Tang Dynasty a prosperous era forever."

After a drink, Gao Xianzhi raised his glass and said loudly, and everyone followed each other and shouted, "I wish the Tang Dynasty a prosperous era will last forever."

After two drinks, Gao Xianzhi started the banquet with a loud voice. The soldiers around poured wine and handed over the dishes, and the banquet became lively.

The single cage of golden milk pastry, mando-like cakes, Jusheng Nu, and Guifei Hong. As soon as these four pastries from Weishi’s roasted tail banquet food list were brought up, they called the kings of small countries who had never seen such exquisite food to make a big fist. Don’t look at them as a king, but the food and clothing cost may not be as good as those rich Hu merchants in Yancheng.

Speaking of the exquisite and delicious food, there was no comparison with the Tang Dynasty in this era. The Wei family’s fried food list was famous all over the world, and even the nobles in Chang'an City could not get a glimpse of the whole picture, let alone the Anxi area.

Although the fried food list that Gao Xianzhi spent a lot of money to get was only half a dish, it was enough to make the kings, princes and envoys at the banquet eat like starving ghosts. Only Bai Xiaojie and the other kings could still maintain their elegance. If it weren't for the Tang Dynasty, these small countries would have been annexed by their four countries. At least they had been to Chang'an, had paid homage to the saints, and had seen the world.

Chen Guang also maintained the so-called Fengyi in the eyes of others, mainly because he was really unable to eat these sweet and greasy pastries. Feng Changqing next to him was not surprised, but he didn't eat much, but was waiting for the dishes behind him.

When the main dishes came up, the hall looked happy. From time to time, the kings of small countries stood up to toast Gao Xianzhi. Of course, Gao Xianzhi just took a sip and was considered returning the gift.

Even Cheng Qianli, who originally planned to trouble Gao Xianzhi, focused on those exquisite dishes at this time. After all, he had never even heard of them such as Tonghua Soft Cow, Xianren's Fruit, and Bailong Chow!

While drinking, everyone quickly ate half-suffered. At this time, Gao Xianzhi also asked the soldiers to stop delivering the dishes, then took a silver chopstick and knocked on the jink in their hands until everyone calmed down and said, "Everyone, how can you not have a banquet? I'm the only one who's the only one who's the only one who's the only one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one who's the one or two of them."

Looking at Gao Xianzhi who was full of energy, Cheng Qianli was envious and jealous. The expenses for this banquet tonight were all Gao Xianzhi paid for it himself, and it was useless to use half a copper coin for the Protectorate's Mansion. And this Gao Liu, who was covered in copper smell, could have a talent like Chen Lang to serve. It was really unfair God.
