Let's say that on that day, Xiao Tang invited Guo Jianyi to come, and after bringing Huaizhen back, he still followed the team forward.

The mood at this moment is very different from after leaving the city before.

Recalling the hurried kiss just now, the teeth and cheeks were fragrant, and the faint sweetness lingered in the heart, but because of the difference at that moment, there was a slight bitterness on the tip of the tongue, quietly entangled in the sweetness, and it was difficult to separate.

Thinking about the last time he kissed, although he looked down on Princess Qingxian at first, but from the time she appeared to lure the enemy, he understood that she was by no means an idle woman, and she was different from the ladies in the boudoir he had seen before, and she had a sense of admiration. Xiao Tang consciously felt in his heart that such a woman and a foreign country, and the future was uncertain, just like a pearl cast into the dark, which made people sigh in their hearts.

However, although he had one thought, his mind was always firm: it was for the sake of good-neighborliness and friendship, so that the two countries would not have war, and Princess Qingxian's trip was a matter of course.

However, this time, when the envoy of Sha Luo mentioned that he wanted to be sincere, Xiao Tang's heart did not have the same plain and firm mood as before, and the words that Guo Jianyi said in the court were also like his heart.

Although he was a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, he had also welcomed many envoys from neighboring countries over the years, and understood that if direct war could be avoided between the two countries, he must not use force lightly, otherwise, not to mention the misery of the people, the dispatch of troops naturally requires military expenses, and military expenditures need the treasury, and where the treasury comes from, it is naturally from the people.

In addition, the country is not very peaceful this year, so Emperor Cheng's concerns, Xiao Tang also understands himself.

But Huaizhen can't.

-- This thought was firmly nailed to the depths of my heart like a wedge.

It's just that the people he is trying to protect, after all, will be pushed into the arms of other men, this half of his life has never understood what love is, at first glance, he was dizzy, as if he lost his whereabouts, so he took the initiative to ask to serve as a peace envoy to the country of Shaluo, just thinking about simply staying away from the capital, maybe after two or three years, full of heart only on state affairs, that heart will naturally fade.

Unexpectedly, by mistake, he actually got Huai Zhen's heart wrong, she would rather go to harmony than marry Ling Jue.

After understanding Huaizhen's thoughts, although there was a moment, Xiao Tang had an arrogant idea in his heart: it is better to simply take her all the way than to be separated from it from now on, as long as she is by his side, no matter the ends of the earth, he can go.

However, after all, it was not possible: just because he also knew in his heart that this time the envoy was not a simple friendship, and if he really mobilized the sword soldiers, how could he protect her? How to keep her away from those terrible situations of swords and swords, and flesh and blood?

Just watched Guo Jianyi take her away, at that moment, there was a premonition that he would never see each other again, which made him feel a little uneasy.

And his premonition came true like a nightmare, and before he entered the border of Sharo, an ambush suddenly appeared, and he was caught off guard and killed.

Although more than eighty percent of the team were well-trained soldiers, first, they had traveled long distances and had insufficient physical fitness, and secondly, the other side had taken advantage of the terrain, and the number of people who came to sneak attack was several times larger.

These people who came to attack bound up the remnants of the Shun people and took them to Sharo.

Later, Xiao Tang learned that half a month ago, there were constant disputes over the throne of Shaluo, after all, it was the uncle of Dong Shaluo who rebelled and cut down the new king who had just ascended the throne, and he was afraid that the Shun Dynasty would be unfavorable to him, so he specially arranged an ambush.

It was only because the distance between the two countries and the lag in news that this incident happened, so the informants of the country of Shaluo did not have time to spread the news.

When Xiao Tang woke up, he was in the palace of Sharo, and the person next to him was Princess Qingxian, who had not seen him for several years, but his face was the same as yesterday, and his eyes were a little more shrewd and capable.

Seeing him wake up, Princess Qingxian smiled and said, "I've finally woken up, otherwise I really don't know what to do." ”

Xiao Tang wanted to get up, but a sharp pain came from his chest, Princess Qingxian hurriedly pressed his shoulder gently, and said, "You don't have to move, your injury is in your chest, and you almost hit the heart of the heart, and you need to recuperate." ”

Xiao Tang looked around and said, "What about ......the others?" How long have you been in a coma?"

Princess Qingxian sighed and said: "All the people who are still alive are imprisoned in their cells, because I interceded and told the king some stakes, so I left you here, you have been in a coma for three days, and the doctor said that as long as you wake up early, you will not have to worry about your life." ”

Xiao Tang thought for a while, and then asked, "Is General Yang Lie still alive?" He only remembered the last scene, when he swung his knife and cut off an arrow aimed at Li Huo, but in an instant, his chest was cold, as if he had been stabbed by an ice pick.

Princess Qingxian said: "Still alive, General Meng scolds in the dungeon every day, I quietly sent someone to tell him to be quiet, so as not to suffer from flesh and skin, but his temperament is as hot as fire...... I suffered a lot of torture. ”

Xiao Tang's eyebrows furrowed, suppressed that anger, and asked Qingxian Princess Shaluo about the current situation.

Princess Qingxian explained one by one, and when she saw that there was no one left and right, she said: "The new king's name is the King of the Great Day, he is suspicious and suspicious, and his temperament is cruel, but after all, he is a little jealous of my dynasty, so he has never hurt my life......" Speaking of this, she whispered: "But according to my opinion, this person has a great covetousness for my dynasty, and the guards have been watching very closely recently, and I have secretly contacted your previous cloth makers, and when the right time comes, I will rescue you out......"

Xiao Tang said: "What about General Yang Lie and the others?"

Princess Qingxian said: "If you want to save them, it will be even more difficult." ”

Xiao Tang just looked at the princess, and Princess Qingxian understood what he meant, so she put her hand on his hand, shook it gently, and said, "Don't worry, I will do my best." ”

Xiao Tang's eyes showed gratitude, and he suddenly asked again: "Where is the noble person who is kind?"

Princess Qingxian heard him ask about this, and then said, "You mean that girl from the Ying Mansion......? Is it really a young lady in the mansion?"

When Xiao Tang saw her asking, he only said, "How?"

Princess Qingxian stared into his eyes and said, "Although I have never seen those young ladies in the Ying Mansion, this one ...... Although the behavior is appropriate everywhere and very decent, it ...... In the end, there is a lack of some of the beautiful temperament of everyone, but I can't say it, but you can rest assured, the king of the great sun loves her very much, and thanks to her, he saved the lives of General Meng and others. ”

Xiao Tang nodded, and suddenly glanced at Princess Qingxian.

Princess Qingxian knew about it, so she leaned over slightly, Xiao Tang whispered a few words in her ear, Princess Qingxian listened, her face showed a little surprise, and she got up after a while, looked at him and smiled slightly: "I see, why do I always feel worse...... But this woman is extremely rare. ”

Princess Qingxian said, and said: "You originally carried a sachet with blood, I was going to get it for you, but although you were in a coma, you still held on, as if you were afraid that someone would steal it for you, I knew it was an important thing, so I still put it in your arms, and you should pay attention." ”

When Xiao Tang heard this, he hurriedly reached out and grabbed it, holding the soft sachet as if he was holding a heart, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Princess Qingxian smiled and said, "It's rare." You've been in that situation too. But he didn't say much.

In this way, Xiao Tang recuperated for another five days, during which the King of the Great Sun also came to see once, because he saw that Xiao Tang looked like a celestial and a man, and he was an important minister of the kingdom, so he deliberately showed a bit of fierceness, intending to bluff, and wanted to see how Xiao Tang reacted.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Tang's face was always indifferent as usual, no matter how fierce the King of the Great Sun was, he made all his gestures, it was just a breeze.

Seeing this, the king of the Great Sun laughed, and then talked to Xiao Tang about the border, only saying that it was just a misunderstanding, and did not expect that it was the envoy of the Kingdom of God who came here, and asked Xiao Tang to recuperate again, and then discuss other matters after he has recovered his body.

Xiao Tang said: "All the people who came with me, please take care of the king of the great day, I will be very grateful." ”

The king of the Great Sun was stunned, it turned out that what Xiao Tang was talking about was in the Salo language, and while speaking, he put his hands together and made a saro salute upright. Seeing this, the King of the Great Sun was overjoyed and said with a smile: "The envoys of the Kingdom of Heaven are really extraordinary. ”

But when he said this, the king of the great sun was not a stupid person, and he was very good at playing tricks, and he did not immediately release everyone in prison, but only told the jailers not to torture him severely.

After a few more days, Xiao Tang's injuries were almost healed, and the King of the Great Sun brought his ministers to discuss with Xiao Tang about redrawing the border.

The border of the kingdom of Shaluo borders China, Nibol and Tianzhu at the same time, and the side close to China is also next to Nibor, and the king of the Great Sun waved his hand to divide the three states of southwest China, including the Holy Snow Mountain, into the territory of Sharo.

After the Great Sun King expressed his desire, he looked at Xiao Tang, his eyes gloomy, and he was staring at him.

Seeing this, Xiao Tang looked down at the map for a while, then took an ink pen and redrew it, but it was to draw the Xisara among the East and West Salon to the territory of the Shun Dynasty.

When the king of the great sun saw this, he immediately understood what he meant, and shouted several times, obviously very angry.

Xiao Tang said lightly: "The mood of the king at the moment is the mood of this envoy. There is an old saying in China, 'Do not do to others what you do not want to do to yourself', if the king wants to discuss the right matter with the envoy, he will naturally make it, but if he covets it and does something wrong, the envoy will not accompany him. ”

When the king heard what the translator had said, he cursed a few more words.

The translator has yet to tell Xiao Tang to know, but Xiao Tang has already understood, and said: "If you want to fight and kill, listen to it, but this envoy still has a sentence to tell the king, the so-called 'yellow sand wears gold armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will not be returned if it is not broken', I don't know if the king understands its meaning? My emperor is kind-hearted, and he does not want the two countries to go to war and harm the people, so he uses the emperor's daughter and relatives to seek the good of the two countries, but if the king does not accept the heart of my emperor, then this is the answer of our dynasty: Those who offend my heaven/dynasty will be punished even if they are far away; As he spoke, he looked coldly at the Great Sun King.

When the king of the great day heard what the translator said, he jumped violently, drank a few words, and ordered someone to put Xiao Tang in prison immediately.

Those Shaluo soldiers pushed and shoved Xiao Tang and put him in prison, Xiao Tang was not afraid, only silently watched carefully where Meng Feixiong and the others were being held, but saw that the lights inside were dim, it was difficult to distinguish, and he only faintly heard many bitter moans in his ears.

was secretly frightened, but heard someone scolding: "Straight lady thief, you have the ability to do it with Lao Tzu in the light, so secretly, it is really a barbarian and other small people!"

When Xiao Tang heard this voice, he was overjoyed, and he called, "Brother Meng!"

Over there, Meng Feixiong heard Xiao Tang's voice, and was slightly stunned, and then shouted: "Xiao Tang!" For a while, the sound of handcuffs and shackles was endless, but the soldiers of the Shun Dynasty who were in the same prison as Meng Feixiong also got up and looked at them all.

Xiao Tang San stepped forward in two steps, saw everyone inside through the prison fence, and saw that Li Huo was also among them, and felt at ease for a moment.

But before he could speak, he was pulled away by the jailer and locked in a nearby cell.

Fortunately, these prisons were not far apart, and they heard each other's voices, so Xiao Tang asked Meng Feixiong how many people were still alive now, but he was told that there were only 100 people at most.

Meng Feixiong asked about Xiao Tang's injury again, and when Xiao Tang heard that so many Shun soldiers had been killed and injured, his heart hurt again for a while, so he reluctantly replied that nothing happened.

The next day, suddenly a Shaluo jailer came and wanted to bring a Shun soldier to go, Meng Fei Xiong Fu scolded endlessly, and the rest of the Shun soldiers were also furious.

Xiao Tang hurriedly drank the Shaluo jailer, and then asked, Meng Feixiong said: "These heavenly thieves and barbarians will release poisonous snakes to bite people." ”

It turned out that in the past few days, these Sharo people have carried the Shun soldiers out, and the Shun soldiers who have been bitten by poisonous snakes are thrown back, and they often die extremely miserably.

When Xiao Tang heard this, he said to the jailers in the Salo language: "Go and report, I want to see the King of the Great Sun!"

The Shaluo jailer knew that he was Shun's envoy, but he didn't dare to be rash, so he hurriedly went to report, and when he came back in an instant, he pulled Xiao Tang and a Shun soldier out.

Meng Feixiong was very worried, and called a few times, but Xiao Tang only said that it was okay and left.

Those Shaluo soldiers dragged Xiao Tang and Shun Bing to the execution ground outside the prison, and Xiao Tang looked up and saw the King of the Great Sun sitting on a high place, surrounded by many nobles and ministers of Shaluo, waiting to see the excitement.

The King of the Great Sun looked down at him and said with a smile in the Salo language: "Envoy of the Shun Dynasty, do you want to beg this king for mercy? ”

Xiao Tang looked around, but saw that there were many soldiers around, and in front of him and Shun Bing was a huge cage, through which the living creatures could be seen moving.

Xiao Tang's eyes narrowed, glanced at the Shun soldier, and said, "Don't be afraid. ”

The Shun soldier was a little frightened because he had seen his partner's death, and he didn't know what to do, so after listening to Xiao Tang's words, he said: "Lord Tang Tang, ......" endured the fear in his heart, and stood beside him.

The little Tang Dynasty snorted coldly: "Heaven/Dynasty envoys, only kneel to the emperor." If you have any tricks, just use them. ”

When the king of the Great Sun saw him standing in place, calm and relaxed, and his demeanor was extraordinary, although he was alone, he faintly revealed an aura that made thousands of people worship, and the nobles and ministers of the surrounding Sharo saw this, and they all whispered reads();.

The King of the Great Sun noticed that he was inexplicably afraid in his heart for a while, and because of this, he squinted his eyes and said, "Very good, I will see today how the envoy of the last court can be." "Raise your hand.

When the soldiers saw this, they stepped forward and pulled up the gate of the cage, and all of a sudden, they saw a black shadow pop out like lightning, and immediately snaked forward on the ground, and the attack was fierce.

Seeing this, the soldier beside Xiao Tang was so frightened that he took two steps back, Xiao Tang didn't move, and saw that the evil thing had a pointed head, shook its head and waged its tail, and the fox stuck out its tongue, and the two poisonous fangs could be vaguely seen shining coldly.

At this moment, there were already many exclamations, Xiao Tang did not move, and when he saw that the poison was about to arrive, he twisted his eyebrows and shook his right hand.

It turned out that when Xiao Tang was staring, he had already seen the three inches of the thing, so he just watched the changes, although he had no weapon in his hand at the moment, but the kung fu in his hand was extraordinary, although he couldn't crack the stone and wear the gold, but if he transported ten percent of the internal force, if he wanted to hold this thing, he shouldn't be there.

Xiao Tang also saw that the body of this thing was the thickness of a young man's thigh, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to deal with its thick skin, so he secretly took a breath and wanted to kill it with one blow.

Who knew that the two sides were like a whirlwind, and Xiao Tang wanted to make a move, but the poison pounced on him a step away, and actually stopped castration.

Xiao Tang was stunned for a moment, although he didn't know how, but he thought that he couldn't miss the opportunity, and as soon as he raised his palm, he was about to swing his kung fu, the poison suddenly stared at him, and with a swing of his long tail, he actually made a mess in the same place, and the fangs and letters that were originally revealed were even put away, just looking at him quietly, not moving, as if there was no malice at all!

Xiao Tang's heart moved, he stopped his gesture vividly, and looked at this poison, at this moment, the king of the great sun and the favored ministers who were sitting on top also stood up one after another, looking at this scene, they were all stunned.

I don't know who read what, but the soldiers on both sides actually faintly stirred.

Xiao Tang didn't know why, but he didn't dare to relax, staring at the poison, he took a step forward, but he didn't expect it to see Xiao Tang like this, so he quietly moved back, as if avoiding.

Xiao Tang twisted his eyebrows and looked at it, secretly raising his breath in his hand, just waiting for something wrong to kill him immediately, but he took two steps forward, and the poison retreated twice, and in the end, he slowly flattened Gao Qing's head and made a bowed and obedient appearance.

It turns out that this poisonous snake was bred by the king of the great sun, and it has a very ferocious habit, as long as it sees a living creature, it will immediately fly and hunt and kill, and it has always been invincible, even the most ferocious tiger and lion are not its opponents, and today before the □□ came to make such a submissive behavior, but it is full of horror, it is hard to believe!

At the throne, someone suddenly shouted in the saro language, clasped his hands together, and bowed his head in worship.

Suddenly hearing the sound of "bell", it turned out that the soldiers by the wall could not hold the weapons in their hands, and the weapons landed and made a sound.

The King of the Great Sun looked at Xiao Tang with a fierce look, the corners of his mouth twitched, his face was very ugly, and he roared hoarsely at the end: "Put him in prison!" and called to pull out the worshipper and behead him!

Let's say that in the prison cell, Meng Feixiong was heartbroken, and he was very surprised to see Xiao Tang and that Shun Bing return safe and sound, and the Shun Bing told everything he had just seen, Meng Feixiong and others had never heard of it, Li Huo's eyes widened, and when he looked at Xiao Tang again, his eyes were shining, and he was a little different.

In the middle of the night, suddenly there was a slight abnormal sound outside, Meng Feixiong is a battle-hardened person, and he immediately woke up, but heard someone whisper in Chinese: "Don't make a noise, we are ordered by Princess Qingxian to save everyone out!"
