CHAPTER XXXVIII
At the beginning of the unitary period, An Lu and I stood by Lin'an Lake and looked at the beautiful scenery on the horizon. The clouds are rolling and the setting sun stains half of the sky red through the clouds.
Lin'an Lake is located in the northeast outside Lin'an City, and there are not many people who pass here on weekdays, especially when it is unitary, and the population is even more sparse, which may be the reason why the kidnappers chose this place to meet.
After standing by the lake for almost a quarter of an hour without seeing half a figure, An Lu was a little irritable and said, "Lan Mu, did you say they are still coming?" ”
I said, "Wait patiently, they will come, perhaps, they will be there in the morning." ”
Hearing this, An Lu looked around vigilantly, and after a while, he saw the carriage slowly approaching us. The coachman who was driving the carriage raised his long whip high in his hand, and slowly fell, and with a shout from his mouth, the carriage was getting closer and closer to us.
I frowned unconsciously, such an open opening was surprising. Shouldn't the so-called hijacking, the so-called conspiracy, come in secret?
The carriage stopped in front of us, kicked up dust, and when it had come to a stop, a man came out of the carriage first. Unexpectedly, it was the Jieyan envoy, the woman who made a loud noise at the banquet, Shaoyan. And the other person, but unexpected, I have some memories of him, he is the envoy of the Northern Hell who came with Liu Ye, I don't know his name.
Shaoyan said: "Two envoys from Yueqiu, don't come unharmed." ”
I looked at her and said, "I didn't think about it, but I was surprised that the Jieyan envoy was with the Northern Hell Envoy." ”
Shao Yan glanced at the Northern Envoy quickly, the latter was expressionless, and said, "I never thought that you and Liu Shao would have an intersection. ”
The Liu Shao in his mouth is Liu Ye.
I smiled and replied, "It's just a meeting in the water." But meeting the two of you at Lin'an Lake at this moment won't be just a coincidence, right? ”
"There is a good show in Lin'an Lake on Shaoyan Road, I was just invited to watch here, you are free, don't worry about me." The words of the envoy of the Northern Hell are not salty or light, as if he has cleared the connection with Shaoyan.
After the envoy of the Northern Underworld finished speaking, he really stood in another place and watched us from afar.
It makes me wonder.
I turned my head sideways and lowered my voice and said to An Lu: "An Lu, you stand out of the way and help me keep an eye on this Northern Hell Emissary." ”
An Lu nodded and stood aside silently.
So the scene became, I was against a man, a horse, and a cart.
I said, "The Jieyan envoy is here, but there is something important?" ”
Shaoyan is dressed in women's clothes today, and the elegant color sets off her like a small jasper, if it weren't for hearing her bloody words at the banquet, it would be difficult to associate her with Jin Ge Iron Horse. She bowed to me and said with a smile: "Of course, after all, today's matter is related to Prince Lan Mu. ”
"Oh?"
"Shao Yan dared to ask Lan Mu Gongzi, has Gongzi ever been married?"
I looked at Shaoyan quietly for a while, I don't know why she asked, my mind was turning, I decided to respond to all changes with the same, and replied: "No." ”
"What does the boy think of Shaoyan?"
I smiled slightly and said, "Little jasper." ”
I didn't think about it, my smile made Shaoyan's expression stagnant.
Shaoyan coughed lightly, straightened the hem of her skirt, and said, "If Shaoyan marries Gongzi, does Gongzi think it is feasible?" ”
After speaking, his face was slightly red.
The drunkard does not mean to drink. I think of the young goose at yesterday's dinner, arrogant, cold, and even, looking at me quite unkindly, how could he say this for no reason after a night? With such an obvious bad coming, am I really a fool Nalan Mu?
I sneered and said unceremoniously: "With all due respect, I have never seen such an unrestrained person as Miss Shaoyan." I don't like to beat around the bush, so if you have anything to say, just say it. ”
I said it very bluntly, Shaoyan seemed to be annoyed, her ears were red, and she said: "Prince Lan Mu, as the envoy of Yueqiu, representing the entire Yueqiu, how can you speak so badly, and you are not afraid of losing Yueqiu's face?" ”
I burst out laughing and said, "Miss Shaoyan is not afraid of losing Jieyan's face, as a man, what am I afraid of?" ”
She pulled out the long sword pinned to her waist, pointed at me sharply, and said angrily: "At this moment, I am the messenger of Jieyan, if you insult me, you will insult my country, personal grievances can be released, the humiliation of a country can not be endured, today, Shaoyan has learned!" ”
Still making excuses for fighting? It's not shallow.
I brushed open the peach fan in my hand to deal with Shaoyan's fierce attack.
After three moves, Shaoyan had already lost the wind, she looked at me with some surprise, and said, "I didn't expect the Yueqiu envoy's martial arts to be so strong. ”
I put away the peach fan and chuckled: "The envoy has just conceded, you see, I have seen this face, the words have been said, and the martial arts have been compared, isn't it time to get to the point?" Speaking of this, I paused, changed my words, and said, "What about Mu Die?" ”
Shaoyan put away his long sword, exhaled, and said, "Mu Die is indeed in my hands, the messenger needs to do one thing if he wants to save Mu Die." ”
"What?"
"Reject the request of the Emperor Wen's alliance."
I chuckled: "Jieyan has made a good calculation, this is to make me fall into an isolated and helpless place." ”
Shaoyan also smiled: "The envoy is a dragon and a phoenix, why stay in Yueqiu to bury his talents, if the envoy comes to reveal the Yan, there will be high-ranking officials who will suffer from each other." ”
I turned my head to look at An Lu, blinked, and said, "You said this Mu Die, do we save it, or don't we save it?" ”
An Lu continued: "Can you save it?" ”
I looked sideways at the envoy of the Northern Underworld and said, "Messenger, you say, do we save it, or do we not save it?" ”
The envoy of the Northern Hell didn't expect me to have this question, and he was a little surprised, but he quickly reacted and said: "Whether to save or not to save is your matter of Yueqiu and Jieyan, what does it have to do with me?" ”
I nodded and said, "What I said is reasonable, since it has nothing to do with the Northern Underworld, then please send the Northern Underworld messenger, remember to send someone back to me." ”
Hearing this, several people present looked at me in shock, and Shaoyan couldn't help but speak: "How do you know ......?"
Shaoyan was halfway through his words before he suddenly stopped, as if he was annoyed that he was quick to speak for a while.
Shaoyan's reaction confirmed my suspicions even more.
I looked at the Northern Hell Envoy and said slowly, "Your hint is so obvious, how can I not admit your feelings?" ”
The envoy of the Northern Hell became interested and said, "Oh, how do you say this?" ”
"First, since it is Shaoyan who came forward, you can be behind the scenes, and you don't need to appear in the negotiations between Shaoyan and me like this, didn't you tell me that it was you behind the scenes; Second, Jieyan and Yueqiu are the two countries with the most frequent trade, economic integration is inseparable, and the king of Jieyan is a cautious and cautious person, and now your Jieyan envoy is risking the enemy of my Yueqiu to blackmail me, it is definitely not the idea of Jieyan Junshang, since it is not Jieyan's idea, you Shaoyan is so fearless, that is, thinking that there is a North Ming behind him; Third, the envoy of the Northern Underworld, you came alone with Shao Yan, but Liu Ye was not there, which proves that he does not know about this matter, and he does not know, it was arranged by you behind Liu Ye's back, and Shao Yan's every move must be told to you and Liu Ye by 1510, if someone releases Shao Yan, Liu Ye will definitely know. So, people, must be in your hands. ”
