The lame attendant respectfully held the brand thrown by Zhao Qin'er, and there was a sense of warmth in his hand, and when he looked down, there was a trace of brilliance circulating in the brand, and the phoenix was bordered, and the middle was engraved with the words "Feng Laiyi", and then looked at the back of the same phoenix border, engraved with the three big characters of "eldest princess", and there were some small words written in small seals next to it, indicating who this token belonged to, the appearance characteristics of the holder, when it was awarded, and so on. After the attendant saw this, his eyes were frightened, his hands trembled like a stroke patient, he held the sign hard, and then pulled out a handkerchief to wrap the token tightly, so as not to show the people around him.

He also asked those Hu Cong, who were not seriously injured, to carry Bai Jufei, who was vomiting blood and unconscious, and Hu Cong, who was unconscious for some reason, to return to the Prime Minister's Mansion in embarrassment, and Bai Xiangye was still eating a banquet in the palace, but there were people who saw everyone returning in embarrassment, and then looking at Bai Jufei was even more miserable, his head was swollen like a pig's head, there was blood left at the corners of his mouth, and the black gold thread trimmed Chinese clothes were even more dirty and messy, lying on a wooden board carried by Hu Cong and unconscious, and hurriedly went to report to Mrs. Xiangye.

After a while, there was a colorful and luxurious woman, dressed in luxury women, even crying and shouting to run to the main courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, seeing the white Jufei like this, holding in his arms is a mouthful of "heart and liver baby" screaming, seeing those who are standing next to the injured servants, regardless of the jump up and crazy punches and kicks to those servants, and scolding in their mouths, "You group of waste, all die, even Fei'er can't protect it, what do you want you to do, all die." Those servants were helpless, and let the woman scratch her face and beat her chest to vent, and the woman finally sat on the ground weakly, hugged Bai Jufei and cried and scolded, and called someone to let Bai Xiangye come back immediately, crying: "He still cares about this family? His son was beaten to death, and he didn't come back?" A servant hurriedly went out of the palace gate and ran to the gate of the imperial city to wait for his own Xiangye to leave the palace.

The lame attendant had been waiting by the side, tightly guarding the token in his arms, and at first he wanted to show it to the woman, and seeing her like this, he really did not dare to give it to her, for fear that she would break it. This token is not an ordinary thing at first glance, and he already knows the identity of the woman who is the leader, so he really doesn't dare to make a mistake, and this servant really remembers what Zhao Qin'er said at the end, this token is now equivalent to his life, so he can only wait for Xiang Ye to come back and show it to Xiang Ye.

The lamp mountain is densely spread in Genyue Square like the sea, the shape is strange, there are huge monster shapes, there are flowers and plants Ganoderma lucidum shapes, there are also some character shapes, but the most conspicuous thing is a lamp mountain standing in the middle of the square, there are thousands of feet high, like a shrine, there is only a ball of holy light that is like fire and not fire beating in it, even the light of the moon in the sky can not hide its light, only to see the people of the lantern festival passing by this shrine style lanterns all bow to the ground, the look is extremely pious, and there is a person wearing a simple white robe, the chest position is embroidered with a closed sunflower, when everyone gets up, with the palm to stroke its top, there is some slight light oozing out between the palms, is an ordinary celestial attendant cleric of the Heavenly Apocalypse Temple, representing Emperor Hao to bless all beings.

After Zhao Qin'er and the others arrived at Genyue Square, they played for a while, Lu Xiangning proposed to take the child to receive Di Hao's blessing, Zhao Qin'er hesitated, and finally took Jiang Chen with everyone, she didn't want to be too different, arousing suspicion, and carefully inspected the cultivation of the heavenly servant, but the cultivation of the Spirit Realm, it should not be possible to find the seal engraved by the level of the Divine Array Master in Jiang Chen's body. Seeing that Lu Xiangning and the two had already passed, they immediately walked over with Jiang Chen.

There was nothing abnormal in the whole process, and the blessing ceremony was completed quietly and naturally, and Jiang Chen himself did not have any special reaction. But when Zhao Qin'er and the others were about to leave, they were stopped. Zhao Qin'er was shocked in her heart, and instantly returned to her senses, and asked, "I don't know what happened to Lord Heavenly Servant?" The person who was called Heavenly Servant said with a smile on his face: "Look at a few people who are destined, there are a few things here that have been blessed by Lord Shaman himself, and I will give them to a few." Zhao Qin'er looked at the appearance of this heavenly servant, already understood its meaning, took the knot, and said, "The father of Di Hao is above" and took out a piece of exquisite and abnormal paper from his arms, and handed it to the heavenly servant, the paper was written with the words "10,000 taels of secret silver", the heavenly servant did not have any excuses, and took the silver ticket of the Di Hao continent with a smile, put it in his arms, walked back to his original position, and continued his duties.

Zhao Qin'er distributed the seven knots of the same style to everyone in her hand, and then wandered around for a while, until she saw the lanterns densely scattered in the square, and everyone walked out of the square. The moon is east, everyone finally embarked on the return journey, all the way back to the Shenjiang Mansion, a few people chatted for a while, seeing a few children are a little sleepy, Zhao Qin'er asked Xiangming to get ready to drive, ready to return to the palace.

Although the entire Feng'an City is in a carnival, and although the lights are bright and brilliant near the Imperial City, it is extremely quiet, only a team of forbidden troops are silently patrolling back and forth to defend until the Suzaku Gate of the Imperial City suddenly becomes lively at three o'clock, and there are officials who stumble side by side and are full of drunken faces from the Suzaku Gate, sometimes whispering, sometimes laughing loudly. YUE Qianming, Qin Kongyu and Chen Qiyuan walked together, several people were more drunk than others, many people came to toast tonight, the three of them couldn't shirk at all, they could only do a glass of wine, they all drank a lot, the one who walked at the back was a little drunk, more sober than others, wearing a big purple official uniform, gold thread trim, with an Arowana bag around his waist, the whole outfit was simple and generous, his demeanor was not angry and arrogant, the beard on the upper jaw was trimmed neatly, the long beard under the jaw was elegant and natural, the face was square, elegant with a hard temperament, and he walked without hurry。

At this time, the man looked up and saw Yue Qianming and the others a few steps away in front of him, walked a few steps quickly, and rushed to Yue Qianming's side. After Qin Kongyu and Chen Qiyuan heard this, they also hurriedly bowed their hands and congratulated them. The man arched his hand and replied: "Three god generals, happy Yuan Xi!" The man looked at Qin Kongyu and Chen Qiyuan again, Qin Kongyu and Chen Qiyuan saw that the situation had already understood that the prime minister of the dynasty had something to say to Yue Qianming, and the two of them arched their hands again and left first.

Yue Qianming looked at Bai Zhi suspiciously, not understanding why the prime minister needed to avoid Kong Yu and Qiyuan when he was looking for him, he stopped and stopped, waiting for Bai Zhi to explain his intention first, and Bai Zhi still said unhurriedly: "First He Qianming God will raise the prestige of our country abroad, and then make immortal miracles." Without waiting for Yue Qianming to open his mouth modestly, he said: "But Qianming, you intercepted and killed the left king of the Xia Geng clan in the territory of the Xia Geng clan, have you ever thought about the consequences?" Yue Qianming was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and said: "It is indeed a little tricky to deal with the tail of the hand, but if you don't intercept and kill Li Deming, let him return to Xia Jing, how can Zhao Degong fight for Li Deming, he will inevitably fight for the throne with an absolute advantage, and it will not be of any benefit to my Zhao Xin clan, and there will be no peace in the north, then Li Deming is a man of great talent, and his ability is several times higher than that of Li Deming, who took the opportunity to usurp the throne." Rather than that, I'd rather nip the threat in the cradle first. ”

Bai Zhi looked at Yue Qianming, who looked resolute, and shook his head helplessly, there is nothing wrong with a military general going into battle to kill the enemy, but the friendship between the two countries is never a simple battlefield fight, unless you can kill the other party with one punch, otherwise the follow-up diplomatic problems are troublesome, although this time Yue Qianming indirectly helped the right king Li Degong to ascend the throne, but Xia Geng's country lost face, and it will be recovered no matter what, thinking about these Bai Zhi took out a fold from his cuff and handed it to Yue Qianming.

Yue Qianming took it and saw that it was a hand-copied copy of the report of the Northern Military Division, and he didn't know what it meant, Bai Zhi should not have shown himself the excerpt of this report, although he was a general in the north of the town, but only the function of dealing with military affairs, generally this type of government affairs would not be sent to his own case, and only in wartime he had the authority to control the government affairs in the north, but now Bai Zhi showed it to himself, believing that he had his own considerations, Yue Qianming unfolded it according to his wishes and first looked at the date, it was a report sent by the Northern Military Division at three o'clock today, which read"There is an envoy from the Xia Geng clan who entered the country, the official history is Zang Lijue, and the deputy envoy is Li Chengji, a total of 36 people. Bai Zhi saw that after he finished reading it, he said again: "Then Xia Geng's national letter has been sent to Jun Shang's case together with this report this evening, and Jun Shang has already allowed him to enter the country, and he will arrive in Kyoto in about half a month. ”

Yue Qianming first looked up at the sky, it was already very late, although there were still officials who went out of the palace in twos and threes, thinking that the palace would be banned soon, Yue Qianming said: "Xiangye, let's talk while walking, otherwise the gate of the imperial city will be closed." Bai Zhi nodded, and walked side by side with Yue Qianming, wanting to hear what Yue Qianming had a good plan, only to hear Yue Qianming say: "Xiangye, let me first talk about the intention of this Xia Geng's country, the right king Li Degong first ascended to the position, and he was not in the right position, and now he is more anxious to establish his own prestige, and the only Red Flame Wolf Cavalry in the Xia Geng clan that can fight against the Electric Ox Legion in my north has also been disabled by our army, thinking that he is unable to fight with my country again, and wants to bargain for some bargains through diplomatic means, so as to appease those generals and soldiers in the army, so as to fully control his own army." Bai Zhi couldn't help but nod while listening, and motioned for Yue Qianming to continue, Yue Qianming saw that Bai Zhi agreed with his opinion and said: " That is making Zang Lijue is the uncle of Zang E, the prime minister of the Xia Geng clan, who enjoys a high prestige in the Xia Geng clan, and the deputy envoy Li Chengji is Li Degong's favorite second prince, I heard that although Li Chengji is less than eighteen years old, but in this Li Degong usurped the throne conspiracy rebellion in the great contribution, Li Degong intended to support, he was set up as a deputy envoy, and I thought that there was also a reason for him to make meritorious achievements, so that he could live in the East Palace smoothly. ”

Bai Zhi asked: "Qianming, then what kind of strategy should our country adopt in this negotiation?" Yue Qianming thought for a while and replied: "Xiangye, I think that the word 'drag' is enough to deal with Xia Geng's mission this time, you can't win on the battlefield, and if you want to take advantage of the negotiation table, how can there be such a good thing." ”

Bai Zhi smiled and said: "Qianming! You also said that Zang Lijue has some prestige in Xia Geng's country, and you kid use the word 'drag', so you are not afraid that Zang Lijue will be annoyed and angry, and return to China to publicize that my Zhao Xin clan has neglected him, deliberately humiliated him, aroused public anger, and under the deduction of public opinion, then Li Degong has to go to war even if he doesn't want to, and then the north will not be peaceful again." ”

Yue Qianming replied: " Give them enough courtesy, first reduce the other party's sharpness when they first came, they can't figure out our way, and if they don't know the bottom of their hearts, they will definitely adjust the negotiation deployment again, and then go to the negotiation table, some rude requirements they are not good to mention again, the province is on the table, I will also let the northern soldiers adjust the deployment, make a gesture of feigned attack, and tell them that I Zhao Xin's country is not afraid of fighting again, originally this border provoke was provoked by them, and now they are still negotiating, but it's okay, just take this opportunity to let them send back my northern soldiers who were captured many years ago, this negotiation will add this article, if they agree, in exchange, we can also return the captured Xia Geng's soldiers. ”

That Bai Zhi nodded and agreed with Yue Qianming's opinion, in fact, Bai Zhi didn't know the deeper thoughts in Yue Qianming's heart, there must be many people in Xia Geng's country who were not convinced by Li Degong, if the negotiation mission sent by Li Degong failed again this time, then someone in Xia Geng's country would definitely not be able to sit still and take the opportunity to suppress Li Degong, at that time, the government of Xia Geng's country would be unstable, and the more chaotic Xia Geng's country was, the more beneficial it would definitely be to Zhao Lingyun's deployment. Ten years from now, the chances of success in the battle for reunification will certainly increase considerably. But these can't be said to Bai Zhi, although Bai Zhigui is the prime minister, his ability is undoubted, Zhao Lingyun also believes in his character, but the stakes are very high, the less one knows, the less the risk of leakage, and Yue Qianming also does not know Zhao Lingyun's overall planning, I don't know how many hole cards in his hand, and thinking that the dark Xuan Army is only the tip of the iceberg of the overall layout.

The two of them said while walking, unconsciously out of the Suzaku Gate, suddenly a black shadow rushed to Bai Zhi, Yue Qianming reacted quickly, blocked in front of Bai Zhi, and was about to take down the person who was coming, but was stopped by Bai Zhi, but it was a small person dressed up, with the waist card of the Prime Minister's Mansion hanging on his waist, Yue Qianming moved away a little, but he still looked at the little guy vigilantly, in case this person suddenly made a difficulty, and stabbed the prime minister of the dynasty to death in front of him, Bai Zhi said: "What kind of system is it to be in a panic like this at the edge of the imperial city, and I will go to receive the punishment after returning to the house." After a pause, he asked, "What is the matter with me?"

The little guy hurriedly said that Bai Jufei was seriously injured, and told Bai Zhi in detail, and then saw that Bai Zhi's face was already iron-blue, Yue Qianming heard that it was Bai Zhi's family matter, and it was inconvenient to interject, so he comforted him and said goodbye first, Bai Zhi waited until Yue Qianming left, and then asked the little guy: "Do you know who did it?" The little guy lowered his head and hurriedly replied: "I only heard that the servant who returned to the house said that it was three women, but I don't know who they were." Bai Zhi asked again: "Do you know why?" The little guy didn't dare to say more this time, for fear that Bai Jufei would retaliate afterwards. Yue Qianming heard that it was Bai Zhi's family matter, so he had already retreated, and after saying goodbye to Bai Zhi, he went to his house alone.

Bai Zhi looked at the little guy's demeanor, and he already understood in his heart, his face became even more iron-blue, and he was so frightened that the little guy didn't dare to come out, only to hear his own Xiangye scolding in a low voice: "Son, son, this time I finally kicked the iron plate." ”
