At the place where the black shadow was infested, Tian Yuan squatted for several nights in a row, finding nothing, not even seeing a shadow. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info He was a little angry, and ran to the riding shooting range to shoot arrows for an afternoon, and his arm was numb from shooting, so he could vent a little, and his heart was not so stuffy.

Tianyue smiled and went to the riding range to look for him.

"The shadow didn't catch it?"

Tian Yuan wiped the sweat from his face and looked down at the proud Tianyue on the horse.

"You're here to see my jokes? Tell you, it's the dark shadow that hasn't appeared, it's not that I haven't been caught, and I'm not losing. He said angrily.

Tianyue squinted, "I didn't say you would lose now." ”

"That's what you mean, your eyes betray you. ”

"My eyes. ”

"Your left and right eyes are saying that I lost. ”

Tianyue deliberately opened her eyes, "I'm not here to say you lost. I have come to tell you that tomorrow the envoy of the Shang Kingdom will leave. Big brother asked me to inform you that you remember to attend the farewell banquet for them. ”

"Got it. Tian Yuan jumped off his horse, "Tell the eldest brother, I will go." …… What about Zi Mo?" I heard from the next person that during this time, Zi Mo never left the house, nor did he let his subordinates in. I don't know what tricks this sister is playing again.

"The eldest brother greeted her, and she said that the messenger has been sent every year, and it is boring to go. ”

Tian Yuan wiped his sweat and laughed, "This seems to be what Zi Mo said." So, I don't have to go. …… Just kidding. He looked at Tianyue and listened to his words, his face sank, and he said in a vague manner.

The farewell banquet held for the envoys of various countries was similar to that of previous years, with delicious wine and food, and various performances. Not much has changed because the people who have come this year are different. Their position at the banquet was the same as at King Xin's birthday banquet, and Bo Gong and Qing Ran of the Shang Kingdom were still sitting in front. King Xin was accompanied by Concubine Ai - without Princess Yu Zimo, he sat symbolically for a while and then went back to rest, so that the envoy could not be restrained and have fun.

The expressions of the envoys were very friendly, and on the surface they were all elated, drinking and laughing, but in fact they had their own hearts.

This time he came to Xin, Bo Gong's main purpose was to win the favor of King Xin and the princess of Xin in order to win marriage and political advantage. But both the king and his princess were stingy to see each other—the princess only showed up twice two days before they came, and never reappeared. Only let Cong Hua and others circulate outside. But he was not disappointed, because he believed that every move he and Qingran made would be reported to them. Whether he is looking or learning martial arts, he is rare and unmatched, and Qingran's clumsiness makes him ashamed. Chang Yu said that only a fool would choose Qingran. King Xin and Princess Yu Zimo, the first impression of Bo Gong is that he is not stupid.

The purpose of his trip has reached eight or nine, Bo Gong's heart is stable, and he drinks a lot more happily. Chang Yu sat next to his eldest brother. He has seen everything in the past few days, and he feels that his eldest brother is almost in control, and this wine is naturally refreshing.

As for Qingran, he still looked indifferent and irrelevant before, and he didn't drink, but looked at and sandwiched the dishes on the table slowly and methodically. His apparent indifference, in the eyes of others, is a cold. There are so many embarrassments, don't say it on your lips, don't write it on your face, can you not think about it in your heart?

Others are looking at Bo Gong and Qing Ran, and they are also looking at King Xin. With such two people with very different identities and talents, who will King Xin choose to be his son-in-law?

King Xin's expression was two from beginning to end, happy and tired, making it impossible to see what he was thinking. However, almost everyone felt that King Xin was in a dilemma. Because even if he is scheming, he can't change the fact that the throne of Shang has changed.

……

After sending off the envoy of the Shang Kingdom, Tianyue was idle. His health was not good, and Cong Hua didn't arrange too many things for him to do.

Tianyue read books in her study for a few days, and when she was a little tired, she left the study to find Tianyuan. For him, seeing Tianyuan's face was resting.

When he arrived at Tian Yuan's residence, Tian Yuan was sitting in his room sulking. It turned out that the black shadow he wanted to catch never appeared again, which made him angry and discouraged, and when he saw Tianyue coming to him, he said angrily, "I haven't found it yet, I haven't lost." "This bet, Tianyue wants the sake he has treasured for many years, and he will not give it to him easily.

"You mean, if he doesn't show up, you won't lose, right?"

"Of course. ”

"What if he doesn't show up?"

"Then I didn't lose. Tian Yuan put on a straightforward appearance, but he was a little less confident in speaking.

"You said you wanted to arrest him, but you didn't say you wanted to see him. ”

"I didn't see it, how to catch it. ”

"When you usually arrest criminals, criminals are not committing crimes. "Tianyue deliberately teased Tianyuan.

Tian Yuan was said by Tianyue to be exhausted, and he was stunned for a long time, so he simply lied, "Anyway, I didn't lose." Otherwise, let's make another bet, and if you lose, we'll settle the matter. ”

"Looks like you can't bear your sake. Tianyue said, "Okay, I'll let you go back, who made me my brother." What else do you think you want to bet on?"

Tian Yuan was dissatisfied with the fact that Tianyue was older than himself, and he didn't have a verbal dispute with him - if Tianyue didn't regress when he turned back, it would be troublesome, and in order to keep his sake, he endured it. "Who will the gambling merchant king propose to Zi Mo for, is it Bo Gong or Qing Ran. ”

Tianyue heard the content of Tian Yuan's bet, and her eyebrows moved slightly, "This is interesting, the marriage between Shang and Xin is inevitable, so who are you betting on?"

"I'm betting on Bogong. Even if Qingran was the son of the Shang King, he would not be stupid enough to joke with the fate of the Shang Kingdom. "Qingran came to Xin Kingdom, all the performances were in his eyes, he could only be described as ridiculous once, in the end, he was a rough man in the mountains and fields, and no matter how much he decorated, he couldn't take the table. If he is the king of Shang, if he wants to give the country to such a son, he is making fun of the entire Shang country, and the country is in danger.

"Then I'll bet on it. Bet that fathers value their sons more seriously. Tianyue didn't argue, and said easily. It's not that he is optimistic about Qingran, it's that he has nothing to lose regardless of whether he wins or loses. Besides, the things of life are changing rapidly, and who can guarantee that fate will be immutable? This Qingran changed from an unknown mountain man to a prince overnight, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not become a king overnight. Who could have predicted the fateful thing. You still have a chance to win.

"It's decided. Tian Yuan emphasized, as if he was sure of this bet.

"It's decided. Tianyue nodded.

Tian Yuan was very happy, "Do you want to tell Zi Mo about this matter, she was a witness to the previous bet." ”

"Are you afraid that I will deny it?" Tianyue heard Tianyuan's careful thoughts. In a word, it is broken.

Tian Yuan's face turned red and he said, "I just think I should let her know." ”

"Whatever you want, if you're not afraid of her getting angry. Tianyue said with a smile.

Tianyue's smile reminded Tian Yuan that the bet he made with Tianyue before, strictly speaking, had nothing to do with Zimo, so he could find her as a witness. But this time, they bet on who is her future husband, which is equivalent to betting on her marriage, and she is afraid that she will be angry when she hears it. If Zi Mo didn't allow him to make this bet with Tianyue, his thoughts about keeping sake would be in vain. When he figured out what it was like, he immediately rejected his proposal. There must always be a witness to the matter of betting, big brother? Tianyuan thought for a while, and shook his head again, eldest brother is serious, and he has never liked to mess around with Tianyue, not to mention Zi Mo's matter, he will definitely not testify to himself. Others...... Tian Yuan couldn't think of it for a while, so he simply asked the entourage around him.

After listening to this, the attendant shook his head like a rattle. The second prince and the third prince want to bet on the princess and let themselves testify, if the princess knows about it, the two princes will be fine, but he will not be able to eat and walk around. Who doesn't know the princess's temper? Who dares to provoke it? Don't want to live anymore?

Tian Yuan looked at his entourage as if he was unwilling to die, and waved his hand angrily, "Forget it, go down, useless things." ”

As if they had been granted amnesty, the attendants hurriedly withdrew.

Tian Yuan had no choice, and repeatedly asked Tianyue to assure. Tianyue reluctantly made a gesture of reassurance.

Tian Yuan was relieved, he took a sip of water, and then asked Tianyue, "When will the letter of state for the marriage of the Shang King arrive." ”

"At the end of the year. Tianyue said.

"Oh. Tian Yuan nodded.
