The Empress traveled through time and space, and she fought for supremacy in the troubled times

Chapter 272 Return

The banquet was to be held in the evening, and it was not yet noon, so Tang Qiuwan, Cai Qin and others returned to the inn.

After returning, Cai Qin told everyone in detail the specific content of today's conversation.

Upon hearing that the Queen of the Turan Empire agreed to establish diplomatic relations and had found sweet potatoes, everyone's faces showed joy and their excitement was beyond words.

Tang Qiuwan said excitedly: "That's great. The mission assigned to us by His Majesty has been successfully completed."

After she finished speaking, she patted Cai Qin's shoulder and said, "Master Cai, you have made great contributions this time. Just wait to receive the reward when you return."

Other ministers also echoed.

"Yes, this trip went so smoothly, all thanks to Master Cai. He is indeed the top scholar, and he is amazing."

"If it weren't for Mr. Cai, it would be a big problem for us to communicate with them."

"Yeah yeah."

Cai Qin appeared calm on the surface in response to their compliments, but in fact, he was already extremely excited inside.

How could I not be happy? I'm going to be promoted soon.

But now we still have to be humble.

"This is the result of everyone's joint efforts. If it weren't for the concerted efforts of all of you, this mission wouldn't have been so successful."

As soon as Cai Qin finished speaking, a minister said, "Master Cai is too modest. Your contributions are obvious to all."

As they were talking, the topic suddenly turned to returning home.

"It's been over seven months since we left home, and we all want to go home."

"It's almost there. We were afraid of accidents before, so the ship moved slowly. Now that we know the route, it will be much faster to get back."

"No matter how fast we hurry, we won't be able to get back before New Year's Eve."

"Oh, Lord Yan, don't think like that. Now we have successfully completed the task assigned by His Majesty. After we go back, you can celebrate as many New Year's Eves as you want." A minister comforted.

"Indeed, there are many more New Year's Eves to come. This trip has broadened my horizons. I'm already looking forward to the grand spectacle of all nations coming to pay tribute, as Lord Tang has described."

Speaking of this, a smile appeared on Lord Yan's face.

As everyone was talking, there was a sudden noise outside the inn.

Cai Qin frowned and was about to send someone out to check when a guard walked in.

"My Lords, we have shipped a batch of the sweet potatoes you requested. Would you like to take a look and see if they are what you want?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone stood up excitedly, their eyes all fixed on Tang Qiuwan.

Tang Qiuwan straightened the wrinkled corners of her clothes and said, "Let's go and take a look."

After saying that, she quickly walked out of the room and into the yard, and everyone followed her out one after another.

I saw several big men in the yard carrying baskets of sweet potatoes into the yard.

She walked to a basket, squatted down, picked up a sweet potato and looked at it carefully.

After a while, under the gaze of everyone, he broke off a small piece and took a bite.

"Lord Tang, is this the sweet potato you were talking about?" Cai Qin said in a slow voice, so nervous that he forgot to breathe.

Tang Qiuwan stood up with the sweet potato he had bitten off, nodded at everyone's expectant eyes, and said affirmatively: "Yes, this is the sweet potato we are looking for!"

Everyone cheered immediately, their faces filled with joy and satisfaction.

With this, their people will have plenty to fill their stomachs again, which is great.

Cai Qin breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Great! With these sweet potatoes, we can return to give His Majesty a satisfactory answer."

"Yeah." Tang Qiuwan looked down at the teeth marks he had bitten, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more obvious.

She was also eager to return home.

Bring these home, plant them in the spring to grow vines and take cuttings, and you can harvest them in the fall.

Their country is getting better and better.

After Tang Qiuwan confirmed that this was what they wanted, the Turan Empire began to send it in large quantities.

As the sun sets and night falls, the envoys from Anguo attend a banquet.

At the banquet, the food was very delicious for the Turan Empire, but to be honest, the envoys from the An Kingdom were not used to it.

But the upbringing ingrained in the An people is that when they visit someone else's home, they have to eat something even if the food is not tasty, and they have to pretend that it tastes good.

At this moment, they wanted to return home even more.

After three rounds of drinks, the Queen raised her glass and said, "May the friendship between our two countries last forever!"

Everyone raised their glasses in response.

The queen took a sip and put down her wine glass. "After listening to Lord Cai's description of Anguo today, my ministers and I are very much looking forward to it. I wonder if we could send some people to accompany you back to the country to visit your Anguo and buy some of your local specialties?"

Cai Qin was slightly stunned, then looked at Tang Qiuwan. Seeing her nod slightly, he stood up and replied, "Your Majesty, this is of course very good. Our An Kingdom welcomes people from your country at any time."

The queen's smile grew wider. "That's very good."

After the banquet, the Anguo envoys returned to the posthouse.

Next, the Turan Empire continued to send red potatoes, and later there were so many that they could not take them back.

As a result, the Queen didn't care much and said that they had to go anyway, so they could just put them on the boat when the time came.

In the remaining days, Tang Qiuwan and others took a tour around the area.

The hygiene here is indeed not very good, but the people here are really warm and welcoming.

Unlike the reserved An people, they are passionate and unrestrained.

In a blink of an eye, they had been here for five days and it was time to go back.

Before leaving, the queen gave away a lot of specialties from their empire.

The people who would go to Anguo were also decided, led by their prince, and more than a dozen ministers were going.

Their eyes were full of anticipation for this trip to Anguo.

I want to go and see if it is as prosperous as Cai Qin described, and if there is so much food.

On October 10, Anguo's ship set sail, followed by five smaller ships that were smaller than Anguo's ship, and sailed towards Anguo in the east.
