Gao Heng had just escaped Princess Yuanxi's merciless whip, and when she heard her brother Yuan Peng's provocative words, she knew in her heart that the brother and sister in front of her were prepared. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

If he refuses to shirk the words of the battle, or lets the soldiers of the Zhou State next to him participate in it, he will inevitably be said to be timid and afraid, looking forward and backward, and not even daring to compete in the face of a female streamer.

Placed in front of everyone, it means that the Great Zhou is showing weakness to the Chu people, implying that the Zhou State is defeated by Southern Chu, and he is a defeated general.

Therefore, this matter is not a personal grudge, but a matter of national honor and disgrace, and no matter what, it cannot be lost in public.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Yuan Peng walking forward with a smile and bowing to Gao Heng and saying, "I've seen His Royal Highness King Yan." ”

This prince of Southern Chu is dressed in Chu clothes, tall and tall, with sparse eyebrows, although his body bones appear a little thin, but he does not lose his momentum and courage in his gestures, and his age seems to be similar to Gao Heng, but the corners of his eyebrows are a little more mature and steady, and he is even more frivolous.

"His Royal Highness King Heng is polite, His Royal Highness has traveled thousands of miles to escort the princess into the land of my Great Zhou, and the brother and sister are deeply affectionate, which is enviable. ”

Gao Heng replied with an indifferent expression, although the etiquette was in place, but there was an obvious sense of coldness between the words.

In the face of Gao Heng's unenthusiastic attitude, Yuan Peng's mouth still had a smile on his lips, and he took a step closer and raised his eyebrows: "It is said that His Royal Highness King Yan is brave and good at fighting, both civil and military, and he has admired his name for a long time, and he is really extraordinary when he sees it today." ”

Yuan Peng said with a smile, and suddenly pretended to be sorry and said: Alas, it seems that it is really a pity to not be able to compete with His Royal Highness King Yan on the battlefield, if there is a chance, ......

"It's better not to have such an opportunity. ”

Before Yuan Peng could finish speaking, Gao Heng interrupted him unceremoniously, met his provocative gaze and said solemnly: "If there is a smoke of gunfire on one side, naturally the people will suffer, and the lives will be ruined, and everyone will not be able to live in peace." The monarchs of all dynasties have hoped that the world will be peaceful, there will never be wars, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment, but it seems that His Royal Highness King Heng does not think so. ”

"His Royal Highness King Yan is too worried. King Heng smiled loudly, his eyebrows moved slightly, "If it weren't for the peace of the world, how could my father be willing to let my sister stoop here and come thousands of miles to make peace?"

He looked pretended to be sincere, and suddenly changed color as if he had suddenly said the wrong thing: "Oh no, this is not what my father meant, but His Royal Highness's father." I think that when the monarch of your Zhou State sent envoys to our Chu State to talk badly and beg bitterly, it was really a cry, two troubles and three hangings. My father cares about the peace of the world, and he can't bear the misery of the people, so I let my beloved sister marry here, otherwise at this time, let alone you and I will see you on the battlefield, maybe, I have already entered the city. ”

Yuan Peng's tone was very exaggerated, and his words were full of irony, especially the last sentence, which clearly said that if the two sides went to war, the army of Southern Chu would inevitably be overwhelmed, capture the capital, and replace the land and power of the Great Zhou.

For a while, everyone present except for the Chu people was stunned and angry.

In Cheng Jinzhi's words: "I really want to go up and beat him up." ”

Seeing that Yuan Peng was arrogant and deliberately found fault in front of Gao Heng, anyway, she was a woman disguised as a man at the moment, so she couldn't help but take two steps forward and pretend to be confused: "Your Royal Highness, what you said doesn't seem right?"

Seeing Cheng Jinzhi suddenly walk up violently, Yuan Peng's eyes turned pale, his eyes fell on her and looked at her, and he said curiously: "This son with red lips and white teeth is ......?"

Seeing Cheng Jinzhi suddenly get involved, Gao Heng frowned slightly with some concern, and just wanted to speak, he heard Cheng Jinzhi take it lightly.

"Your Royal Highness King Heng doesn't care who I am, it's just that this is a well-known fact that since ancient times, the two countries have always been friendly and friendly, and the winning side has always sent the princess to marry the stronger side, in order to seek peace between the two countries. Why did these words reach the mouth of His Royal Highness King Heng, but they are reversed?"

If this rebuttal is told by Gao Heng, who is the prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it will not only appear petty, but also hurt the harmony between the two countries.

But let Cheng Jinzhi, who has an inconspicuous identity, not only suppress Nan Chu's arrogance in a timely manner, but also save some face, but he will not be really held accountable and blamed by Yuan Peng.

After all, he is also the prince of Southern Chu, with a noble status and a smart person, if he is laughed at because he is talking about a small minister from another country in his eyes, and he is honest, in the end, he will lose face.

However, Jin Zhi's words did touch Yuan Peng's heart, and I saw that he pursed his lips with some displeasure, put away the smile on his lips, and looked at Gao Heng with a slightly unfriendly gaze.

"His Royal Highness King Yan, is this the hospitality of your Zhou Kingdom?" he said and glanced at Cheng Jinzhi with disdain, "How can an unidentified kid be disrespectful in front of distinguished guests? Is this your Royal Highness, you alone have not disciplined well, or is it that all of you Zhou people do not understand etiquette and neglect discipline?"

Yuan Peng's eyes sank as he spoke, tightening the muscles in his cheeks, and then increasing the intensity of his bite.

"You must know that this is not something you just talk about, just deceive yourself. Since you think so, when I go back, I will tell my father and the king exactly what I say, and by the way, I will mention your hospitality. ”

"What's the use of saying so much, if you really fight, maybe you are hiding in a thatched hut to avoid the limelight? I am so arrogant in other people's territory, and you want me to be so polite to you?"

Cheng Jinzhi rolled his eyes coldly, and when his eyes loosened, he caught a glimpse of Princess Yuan Xi standing behind Yuan Peng.

I was about to take a good look, but I saw that she was staring at a certain place, with a soft light in her eyes, and everywhere she looked, it turned out to be Gao Heng beside her.

"Hizz~ This princess has not left "His Royal Highness King Yan" in three sentences since just now, and now she looks like this, like the person who is going to marry is ......"

She thought about it, so she stared at Yuan Peng and threw out a sentence unhurriedly: "His Royal Highness King Heng, the princess used force and whip when she first came to the imperial capital, but she frightened people, is your hospitality to fight and be rude, shouting and killing?"

Being provoked by Cheng Jinzhi like this, Yuan Peng, who was already angry in his heart, tightened his eyebrows, and was about to have a seizure, but saw Princess Yuan Xi, who was holding a long whip, come forward, and compared with Fang Cai, she already showed a strong posture.

"Brother, who is strong and which is weak, why do you have to meet each other on the battlefield to see at first sight? You and I have just arrived, so it's better not to hurt the harmony. ”

She shook her hand very heroically as she spoke, and quickly faded the outermost layer of the red coat on her body, and was firmly caught by the maid behind her, and then clasped the handle of the long whip with two fingers, and made a fist salute towards Gao Heng.

"Please also ask His Royal Highness King Yan to give advice. ”
