"Flame Crow?!"

When the two sergeants heard Yan Crow's words, their faces changed drastically, of course they knew that there was a tradition in the Southern Regions, and all the chiefs of the big tribes would be named after the tribe.

Unlike all dynasties, the lord of the world will be called the emperor.

The word Yan Crow, in addition to being a name, is also a kind of bloodline inheritance.

In the words of the Southern Regions, the names of Yan Crow, Shi Zun, and Thunder Lion, each of which represents a mysterious power, and the person who inherits this name is the messenger of this mysterious power in the world.

"It turned out to be the chief of the Yan Crow, but this prince couldn't see it at a glance, he was really ashamed, give him a seat!" Prince Lin Tianrong looked at the Yan Crow in front of him, and fine beads of sweat welled up on his forehead.

However, there was still a faint smile on his face.

The middle-aged man in front of him is Yan Crow, which also means that his life is held by Yan Crow, and at such a close distance, there is no hope of even running.

However, he really didn't expect that one of the chiefs of the six tribes in the Southern Regions would run to his tent alone to deliver the letter.

What is the purpose?

"No need, I'm only here today to deliver a letter, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will give me a reply after reading it, and I will naturally leave immediately. The crow waved his hand, motionless, and continued to hold the hide in his hand flat.

Prince Lin Tianrong smiled again.

He didn't speak, just glanced at the two sergeants.

The two sergeants reacted immediately, and one of the sergeants quickly took the animal skin from Yan Crow's hand, held it above his head with both hands, and handed it to the crown prince Lin Tianrong.

The other sergeant quickly withdrew from the camp.

Not long after, there was a loud sound outside the camp tent, and then, under the light of the fire, countless figures flashed outside the camp tent.

Yan Crow still stood motionless, as if he had not seen these things at all, his face was calm, and his breath was as steady as a mountain.

Prince Lin Tianrong also breathed a sigh of relief at this time, took the animal skin handed over by the sergeant, shook it gently, and spread it out.

Merely......

When Prince Lin Tian's gaze swept over the animal skin, his expression stiffened slightly, and then, a faint cold light flashed in some slender eyes.

"Call Master Su in, and besides, scatter all the people at the door. After looking at the animal skin, Prince Lin Tianrong looked at the Yan Crow in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and finally said to the sergeant.

"This ...... Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you are ...... alone."

"What are you talking about, can't you understand Prince Ben's orders?"

"Yes!" the sergeant nodded, and then quickly withdrew from the camp.

Almost in the blink of an eye after the sergeant withdrew from the camp tent, the curtain of the camp tent was lifted again, and Su Qing, who was wearing a black court uniform, also walked in.

"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I have seen the Chief of the Yan Crow, the acting envoy of the Xiaguan Great Xia Imperial Academy, Su Qing!" Su Qing bowed to the Prince Lin Tianrong very respectfully, and then put his fist on his chest and bowed slightly to the Yan Crow.

Yan Crow looked at Su Qing's salute, his expression was also slightly surprised, of course he could see that Su Qing used the etiquette of the Southern Regions, and moreover, it was also the etiquette of their Yan Crow tribe.

"Lord Su is polite, although I am the chief in the Southern Regions, however, the Southern Regions are a vassal state of Great Xia, and Lord Su does not need to be commensurate with the lower officials. Yan Yao nodded and returned a salute to Su Qing.

"Chief Yan Crow Guo Qian, although the Southern Regions are our Great Xia vassal states, but those who really understand know that Great Xia and the Southern Regions have always paid attention to the 'friendship of brothers', advancing and retreating together, so it is natural for me to be called a subordinate official. ”

"Huh...... Lord Su is polite!" Yan Crow nodded, but he didn't mean to continue to be polite, just waited quietly in place.

"Master Su, look at this letter. Prince Lin Tianrong also glanced at Su Qing at this time, and then pointed to the animal skin on the bookcase in front of him.

"Yes!" Su Qing nodded, respectfully walked to the bookcase, carefully held the animal skin with both hands, and after reading it carefully twice, he put it back on the bookcase, and then retreated to its original position.

"What is Lord Su's opinion?" Prince Lin Tianrong also asked out loud when he saw Su Qing retreat to his original position.

"The relationship between the Southern Regions and Great Xia has always been between fish and water, fish cannot leave the water, and the water cannot be without fish, so no matter what conditions the Southern Regions propose, we should try our best to meet them. Su Qing thought for a moment and replied.

"Hmm. Prince Lin Tianrong nodded, and then, his eyes also looked at Yan Crow: "The conditions of your Southern Regions, this prince agreed." ”

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince, the 50,000 Great Xia soldiers in Dingshan Pass are locked up in the two major tribes of Yan Yao and Shizun respectively, and they can be handed back to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at noon tomorrow. Yan Crow didn't seem to be too surprised by Prince Lin Tianrong's answer.

"No need, this prince will write an edict now, you give this edict to the deputy general of Dingshan Pass, and let them hurry to the Han Ape tribe to join this prince!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's soldiers are very fast, Yan Crow has thanked the prince and the prince on behalf of me!" Yan Crow heard this, and immediately bowed.

......

A moment later.

Yan Crow left the camp with the order, but Su Qing did not leave, and the crown prince Lin Tianrong also had no intention of letting Su Qing leave.

"How does Su Qing think this matter should be arranged?" Prince Lin Tianrong looked at Su Qing below.

"Judging from the letter from the prince of the Southern Regions, now that the prince and Princess Shanyu have joined up with Xinghou and Nangong Hao and others on the way to the Tieqiu tribe, and they should be almost about to reach the Tieqiu tribe now, then it also shows that what happened in the palace of the king of the holy mountain city mentioned in the letter of the prince should be true, in other words...... The peace talks between the Southern Regions and Great Xia are the credit of Fang Zhengzhi. Su Qing nodded and said.

"That's right, but what this prince didn't understand was that since the prince of the Southern Regions came to us for peace talks in Great Xia because of Fang Zhengzhi, why did he put forward the condition that Fang Zhengzhi would be punished, and then he would be handed over to the Southern Regions to deal with?"

"Actually, no matter what the prince of the Southern Regions is thinking, it may not be a bad thing for us. Su Qing did not directly answer Prince Lin Tianrong's words, but continued.

"How?"

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, you shouldn't have forgotten the messenger you sent to the Han Ape Tribe to pass on the Prince's order, right?"

"Well, this matter has been prepared in advance. ”

"That's right, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did leave a hand, even if he returned to the court, no one dared to really plant this matter on the head of His Royal Highness the Prince, but Fang Zhengzhi would not think so. ”

"Orthodox ...... Hehe, is this prince still afraid that a little Zheng Si who has no power and no responsibility will not succeed?" Prince Lin Tianrong smiled slightly, a little disdainful.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks that if Fang Zhengzhi returns to Yanjing City again, he will still be just a little Zhengsi Pin with no power or responsibility?" Su Qing asked softly.

"You mean to say?"

"The prince of the Southern Regions mentioned the word holy order in the hand of Fang Zhengzhi in the letter, if my guess is right, that holy order should be true, but the use is not related to the affairs of the Southern Regions, but to the Ministry of Rites, and now the Ministry of Rites Shangshu died at the hands of the prince of the Southern Regions, and Fang Zhengzhi has made great contributions to the intersection of countries and states, so ......"

"A small positive fourth grade, can you jump four levels in a row, and sit firmly in the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites in one step?" When the prince Lin Tianrong heard this, he probably knew what Su Qing meant, but he still didn't want to believe it.

"With the qualifications of Fang Zheng, it should be impossible to sit directly in the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, but it is not impossible for the official to be the third grade, jump two levels in a row, and then take charge of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites as a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and wait until a year later, and then find an excuse to be promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. ”

"So what?"

"Of course, a Ministry of Rites Shangshu is not a threat to the crown prince, but what if Fang Zhengzhi falls to King Duan because of his hatred for His Royal Highness the crown prince?"

"Fang Zhengzhi and the sixth brother have always been at odds, how can they fall to the sixth brother?"

"The world is impermanent, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is talking about the current situation, but as long as the situation is the situation, there will be variables, Fang Zhengcheng used to be an idler, but once he ascended to the court, took charge of the Ministry of Rites, and had real power, who would dare to say that he will not change, and besides, His Royal Highness the Prince, don't forget, Fang Zhengzhi is a villain, or a villain who is greedy for money!"

"Smack!"

With a crisp sound, the cup made of jade was directly slammed to the ground, bursting like a green flower suddenly shattered by frost.

"This prince will never allow this to happen, fake the holy order, just this one, this prince can punish him with death!" Prince Lin Tianrong's eyes were cold, and his fists were directly clenched.

"Estimated...... No way. Su Qing shook his head.

"Why not?"

"Although Fang Zhengzhi falsely passed on the holy decree, but because of this, he let the Southern Regions negotiate peace with Great Xia, no matter how you look at it, this is a great achievement, even if he wants to be punished, he will definitely not be guilty of death!"

"According to what you mean, this prince can't cure him of Fang Zheng's sin? Could it be that you still have to secretly send someone to tie up Fang Zhengzhi and give it to the prince of the Southern Regions?"

"That's not necessary, not many people know the truth about what happened in the palace of the Southern Regions King, in fact, we don't need to know the truth. ”

"You don't have to know the truth, what do you mean?"

"If, after we read the letter from the prince of the Southern Regions, our thoughts are...... The Ministry of Rites Shangshu had reached an intention to negotiate peace with the king of the Southern Regions, but Fang Zhengzhi suddenly broke in, deliberately falsely passed on the holy decree in order to win the credit, and killed the loyal Ministry of Rites Shangshu by the hand of the prince of the Southern Regions, and took the credit in his own name, and the result was ...... What will happen?"

"Hahaha...... Su Qing, Su Qing, fortunately, you are not the sixth brother's person, otherwise, just with your eloquence that reverses black and white, this prince should be on guard against you, a little fourth grade!" Hearing this, Prince Lin Tianrong's expression stiffened slightly, and then he also let out a burst of laughter.

"Hehe......" Su Qing's body trembled, as if he had thought of something, but soon, he also regained his calm, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Okay, just do as you say! I don't know how this Fang Zhengzhi offended the prince of the Southern Regions, but this prince punished him for this crime, and then handed him over to the southern regions, it is estimated that even if the father and emperor knew, he would not blame this prince, but would say that this prince was merciful and did not slaughter this guy on the spot!"

......

The Southern Regions, one mile from the Iron Hill Tribe.

Black shadows shuttled between the mountains and forests, and the routes they walked were extremely hidden, but the speed was extremely fast, like meteors.

At the front of the line, figures dressed in animal skins and rattan armor led the way, while at the back of the line, sergeants in bright armor followed closely.

Shan Ling's gaze was firmly fixed on the already looming black fortress in front of him, his fists clenched, and his expression looked a little eager.

And Princess Shanyu frowned slightly, her lips kept opening and closing, as if she had something on her mind to say, but she didn't know how to say it.

"My sister is still thinking about the condition that the third brother gave to Da Xia?" Shan Ling gestured with his hand to the several big tribal chiefs who were surrounding him, and then asked in a low voice.

When the chiefs of several large tribes saw Shan Ling's gesture, they immediately dispersed, and a slight aura lit up on everyone's body, blocking the surrounding space, as if forming a huge barrier.

"Although that guy is a little shameless, after all, he is also the fourth-grade court official of Great Xia, and he is also the top of the literary list of the palace examination and the top of the double list of the court examination......"

"This matter is not for reasons why Da Xia does not agree, the lives of 50,000 sergeants are exchanged for one person, does my sister think that Da Xia is not even willing to show this sincerity?"

"This ......"

"Sister rest assured, they will definitely agree, and when the time comes, Fang Zhengzhi will be handed over to you, although he slapped you, but if you can submit to my Southern Regions and do things for my Southern Regions, it is not completely unforgivable...... But if he doesn't want to, you must kill him with your own hands, so that he doesn't return to Great Xia. ”

"Kill him?"

"Of course, this Fang Zhengzhi is already in the realm of returning to the Light Realm at a young age, and with Fang Zhengzhi in Great Xia, I want to find another opportunity to be the emperor in the Southern Regions...... I'm afraid it's a bit troublesome, and, the most important thing is that I asked the Xing Yuanguo of the Zhenguo Mansion, and they don't have any agreement with Fang Zhengzhi at all, which shows that all these actions are guessed by Fang Zhengzhi, and with such a mind, I'm afraid I can't find a second one that can match it!"

"Third brother, aren't you dead set on the matter of being the emperor?" Princess Shanyu heard Shan Ling's words, her body trembled slightly, and her expression was obviously a little surprised.

"Sister, you don't have to worry about this matter, wait until the current siege is resolved, my Southern Regions can't really be a vassal state of Great Xia forever, right? I just ordered the release of the 50,000 defenders of Dingshan Pass, but Dingshan Pass is still in the hands of our Southern Regions!" Shan Ling said this, and there was a determined light in his eyes.

Princess Shanyu didn't speak again, but her fists tightened slightly, her brows furrowed, and she seemed to be extremely entangled. (To be continued.) )
