King Xiao arrived at the Jin Palace on July 20, and on the same day, Xi Ze personally led hundreds of civil and military officials to greet King Xiao outside the gate of Jinluan Palace. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

King Xiao took the main ministers Ashina, Qi Qiger, cousin Xiao Jinxun and a large group of retinues, stood under the Danqi, put his right hand into a fist on his left shoulder, made a flat salute to Xi Ze, and said loudly: "Respected Emperor Jin, I haven't seen you for many years, don't come unharmed!" I wonder if your body is still as strong as it was back then? ā€

Xi Ze laughed loudly and said, "I haven't seen you for many years, do you still remember the battle in Cangzhou back then?" ā€

King Xiao put down his hand, looked at Xi Ze levelly, and said loudly: "Of course remember, you are a respectable opponent, you have a very good set of marching formations, and you can fight with this king, you are the only one in the world, then the Xia Kingdom is really vulnerable, but you will use poison and bluff!" ā€

Xi Ze said with a smile: "Xia Jun has been beaten back to our nest, now that he has lost the battle, he can be more obedient, you have come from afar, you must be tired, I have set up a banquet in the Guangxian Palace, let's go into the back room and sit down, and talk slowly!" ā€

King Xiao said politely: "Then thank you very much!" We prairie people are very bold, and if we have drunk wine, we are our own brothers, and we can say anything! ā€

The two kings talked with each other, and the grand scene of the two countries' important ministers accompanying each other, Yun Tian naturally had no chance to see it.

It wasn't until the evening that I saw Xi Ze coming from Guangxian Palace.

Yun Tian saw Xi Ze and said strangely: "At this time, why didn't you go to accompany King Xiao, why did you come to me instead!" ā€

Xi Ze said with a smile: "At noon, several of them took turns to pour wine to King Xiao, and King Xiao was so drunk that he had already been carried out of the palace to the hotel to rest, and now I don't know if I woke up!" I also slept all afternoon, and now I just woke up, and my head still hurts, please help me press it! ā€

Yun Tian shook his head, stood behind Xi Ze, helped Xi Ze gently rub his temples, and said angrily, "Aren't you discussing state affairs?" Why did you drink so much wine, and you still drunk King Xiao, how can you talk about things? ā€

Xi Ze closed his eyes, slowly relaxed, and said: "We talked to King Xiao about the war of the year, and admired each other very much, and when it came to this war against Xia Guo, Xia Guo was defeated and retreated by our country and Xiao Guo, it was really happy, after Xia Guo withdrew from the army this time, although I didn't ask them for anything, but Xiao Wang was not so easy to talk to, Leng is looking for Xia Guo to ask for a lot of gold and silver treasures and grain cloth, he can live a rich winter again, King Xiao not to mention how happy, this is all Xia Guo asked for himself!" Hahahahaha......ha

Yun Tian smiled and said: "Drink when you are happy to chat, don't let your stomach be broken by wine, this King Xiao is really greedy, he asked for so many things, then the Xia Kingdom suffered a defeat, spent a lot of financial resources, and sent so many things to King Xiao, wouldn't he himself want to die of poverty?" ā€

Xi Ze laughed again: "Xiao Guo has nothing to eat every winter, the grass and trees are withered, and the cattle and sheep have nothing to eat, this is their difficult time, if they don't take advantage of the time to grab more to go back, how can they survive the winter?" He has already signed a peace pact with me for ten years, and he will not be allowed to come to our country to grab anything for ten years. Always give him a way out, if he robs Xia Guo's things, he won't think about me, this matter is also Xia Guo's own arrogance, with him taking the lead for me, I can live comfortably! In the future, Xiao Guo will go to Xia Kingdom to grab things in the winter, which can save me a lot of things! I also want to thank Xia Guo! ā€

Yun Tian continued: "It's all up to you to fight well, if you don't defeat the Xia Kingdom, how can there be such a good thing?" ā€

Xi Ze closed his eyes and said: "Xia Guo is arrogant, relying on all kinds of strange flowers and plants on his mountain to torture people, he thinks that he can deal with the army, it is really no one in his eyes, this time he can teach him a lesson, see if he dares to mess around in the future!" ā€

"Is Xia Guo's army really so vulnerable?" Yun Tian suddenly asked, "Don't be too complacent, it's better to be careful!" ā€

Xi Ze said: "It's not that Xia Guo's army is vulnerable, it's that he likes to be opportunistic too much, thinking that he has seized the opportunity, and it's not me who underestimates the enemy, it's Xia Guo!" ā€

Yun Tian shook his head and said, "As long as you and King Xiao have a good chat!" In the past few days, you can treat him well! Do you feel better now? ā€

Xi Ze snorted and said, "It's much better, with you with me, I feel much more comfortable!" ā€

Yun Tian said: "After dinner later, let's rest early, I have enough spirits, and I will continue to accompany King Xiao tomorrow!" ā€

"Good!"

The next day, Xia Wanfeng accompanied King Xiao around the Jin Palace, introducing King Xiao to the various beautiful scenery in the palace, and the two talked happily.

While he was talking, a little chamberlain suddenly ran over, and he didn't know what he said in Xia Wanfeng's ear, Xia Wanfeng suddenly frowned.

Seeing this, King Xiao asked, "Do you have something to do?" ā€

Xia Wanfeng smiled awkwardly: "It's not a big deal, I'll accompany the king to continue shopping first!" ā€

King Xiao smiled: "It's okay, if you have something to do, go and get busy first, I'm just tired, so I'll go to the front pavilion and wait for you!" ā€

Xia Wanfeng said: "Okay, I'll come when I go!" With that, he withdrew with the attendant.

King Xiao walked towards the pavilion alone, there were several very beautiful plants planted on the side of the road, with beautiful pink flowers, and fruit, the weather was hot, King Xiao suddenly felt thirsty, and now there was no one to bring him water, so he wanted to pick a fruit to quench his thirst.

At this moment, there was a shout from the front: "Don't touch it, it's oleander!" If you eat it, you will die! ā€

King Xiao was startled, withdrew his half-stretched hand, and looked in the direction where the voice came from, only to see a woman in a pink palace dress slowly walking towards him.

In an instant, King Xiao was completely attracted by her beauty, and her dusty appearance amazed time, stirring up fierce ripples in King Xiao's heart, rippling endlessly, for a while, King Xiao was stunned, and forgot to say thank you!

The person who came was Yun Tian, she didn't know that it was Xiao Wang who was standing in front of her, but she saw that his dress was different from her own, and she knew that it was someone from Xiao Guo, so she reminded her, Yun Tian smiled and said: "You don't have this kind of plant there, so you probably don't recognize it, this is oleander, although the flowers are beautiful, but the whole body is poisonous, and the fruit is also highly poisonous, you can't eat it!" ā€

Only then did King Xiao come back to his senses, smiled and said, "Thank you girl for your kind reminder, otherwise I may die due to accidental ingestion!" Dare to ask the girl's name? ā€

At this moment, Xia Wanfeng came back and was startled when she saw Yun Tian, but quickly saluted: "Weichen sees the imperial concubine!" (To be continued.) )
