Volume 1 The Wind and Cloud of the Qiandu Chapter 9 The Great Jin Mission
Da Qianjia Qianguan inside.
Several Great Jin horse convoys, erecting the banner of the Jin Kingdom, slowly drove through the green mountains of Saga, full of lush trees and clear blue sky, and a few wisps of clouds just formed an elegant and interesting light ink landscape painting.
But the fly in the ointment is that there is a black pressure next to the carriage of the Great Cadres and Forbidden Army, and the army exudes a solemn and bleak atmosphere, destroying such a natural and harmonious artistic conception.
This convoy was the Great Jin Mission that went all the way north to send envoys to discuss border disputes.
At the head of the convoy of the Great Jin Mission was a marquis in brocade clothes dressed in Daqian-style fine armor, with an arrow pot hanging from his waist, and a Qingxuan bow and a silver red tassel spear on his back. He looked ahead with a calm expression, his eyes could penetrate everything in the world, which was the direction of Qiandu.
Behind the mission's convoy, a blood-colored mist filled the air. The blood-colored mist is like a giant beast with a bloody mouth open, choosing people to devour. The blood mist is full of corpses, there are human races, there are demon tribes, there are Daqian costumes, and there are also Dajin costumes.
This time, the Great Jin delegation traveled and experienced countless assassinations. Because it involves too many forces, too many people don't want to see the mission go to Qianqian this time, including the main battle faction in the Great Qian and the Great Jin Dynasty, or the demon clan who are about to move.
In the middle of the convoy, there was an old man sitting in front of a carriage with his eyes closed, his hair was scattered around his waist, quite a bit of fairy wind and bones.
The old man has a five-foot bronze short sword on his leg, holding the hilt of the sword in his right hand and caressing the blade of the sword in his left hand.
The interior of the carriage is magnificently decorated, with two people sitting opposite each other drinking tea.
A middle-aged man with a calm and resolute face dressed in the official robe of the third grade of the Great Jin Dynasty, and a young and beautiful woman dressed as a maid in a car with the other person sitting opposite him.
At this time, a strange scene appeared in the carriage. The middle-aged man seemed to be afraid of the young woman, and listened respectfully to her commands.
If there are people who serve in the officialdom of the Great Jin Dynasty, they are here. You will definitely be able to recognize this middle-aged man as the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Great Jin Dynasty - Feng Yi, who is the chief envoy of the Great Jin Peace Delegation.
And the young and beautiful woman sitting with him is a genius who has not been produced in the Great Jin Dynasty for a hundred years, and the world calls him a peerless national warrior, and the reincarnation of the female Zhuge - Fan Ruoqiu.
Fan Ruoqiu's trip can be called top secret, except for the Jin Emperor and Feng Yi, the main envoy of this trip, no outsiders know! If the slightest rumor is leaked, not to mention the demon clan, maybe the Qianhuang will be ruthless to her!
"This time you go north, Your Majesty has entrusted you with a very difficult task! Lord Feng, don't live up to Your Majesty's trust. Fan Ruoqiu took a sip of tea lightly.
"My lord, the main task of the Great Jin Mission this time is to discuss the matter of Baizhang Yuan with the Great Cadres, and furthermore, to bring the outstanding young talents of various sects in the Great Jin Dynasty to the Qiandu for exchanges, I will definitely do my best to repay Your Majesty's holy grace!" Feng Yi looked frightened and hurriedly explained.
"Don't embarrass me! I don't want to know the details, so as not to leak the military plane! Ahem! Ahem! I'm just here to relax, and all the affairs of the Great Jin Mission are up to you! I'm inconvenient to meddle" Fan Ruoqiu coughed incessantly, and the silk scarf in his hand was stained with blood.
"My lord, are you okay!" Feng Yi looked at Fan Ruoqiu, who was coughing up blood, and said nervously.
"It's okay! get used to it, cough cough, don't worry, Lord Feng, you can step back first!" Fan Ruoqiu said weakly as he covered his mouth with a silk handkerchief.
"No!" Feng Yi stood up and saluted, and then retreated.
Fan Ruoqiu folded the blood-stained handkerchief and slowly picked up the teacup, her bright and deep eyes stared thoughtfully at the tea leaves in the tea, quietly distracted, as if thinking about something.
The white-haired old man who had been closing his eyes outside the carriage, his voice passed through the carriage. "Miss, your body can't withstand such a rushing journey, and your condition is getting worse and worse!"
"It's okay, Feng Bo! I know my body!
......
The inner garden of the palace.
The palace housekeeper was followed by Gu Fan and Ke Yixue. Shangguan Jiantang did not follow, she wanted to go to the appointment with Gu Fan, but Gu Fan persuaded her to stay, so that she could recuperate with peace of mind. In fact, Gu Fan knew that he had already entered the game and didn't want to implicate Shangguan Jiantang.
Just after passing through the palace garden, Gu Fan and the housekeeper stepped onto a long corridor. Within Gu Fan's line of sight, a man with a public face appeared, walking towards Gu Fan.
Although this person's face is public, his eyes give people the feeling of a poisonous snake that chooses people to devour. When he passed by Gu Fan, he turned his head and glanced at him. I murmured in my heart, where did this young man seem to have seen it? Because there is something important on him, he should not think about it. The man's footsteps did not stop, and he walked straight out of King Rong's mansion.
When Gu Fan saw the man for the first time, he felt a little familiar, and felt that he must have seen him. When the man turned his head to look at him, Gu Fan found that there was a lotus mark on the back of his neck, Gu Fan's pupils were slightly condensed, as if he had thought of something, and his expression was solemn.
Qiandu Forbidden Imperial City,
The Emperor took off a dragon robe and wore an apricot-yellow brocade casual dress, correcting documents and folding. Sometimes frowning, Long Yan was displeased. Sometimes it was soothed and contemplative.
At this moment, a little eunuch took a slight and frequent step and knelt down in front of the dragon case approved by the Qianhuang, holding a secret letter in both hands.
"Your Majesty, a secret letter from King Rong!"
"Oh, what is the matter with King Rong? I want to use the secret letter!" Emperor Qianhuang stopped writing and asked the little eunuch curiously.
"Slaves don't know!"
After the Emperor Qianhuang read the secret letter, Long Yan was furious, and slapped the dragon case in front of him with one palm, and the documents splashed everywhere.
"Hmph! Send Sikong to King Rong's Mansion and invite the third prince and the fifth prince!
"No!" the little eunuch hurriedly withdrew.
......
The palace housekeeper led Gu Fan and stepped into the inner hall of the palace, which immediately attracted everyone's attention. Everyone in the hall looked at Gu Fan in unison. Everyone wondered who could write such wonderful verses.
On the platform of the inner hall, King Rong Kemo, who had been sitting firmly on the mahogany chair, spoke first: "You are Gu Fan?
"Yes!"
Don't look at Gu Fan's delicate face, he said neither humbly nor arrogantly. In fact, he had already apologized to Li Bai a hundred times in his heart, and secretly prayed not to blame.
"Oh, you're Gu Fan, the author of this poem?" Ji Yin, the third prince next to King Rong, looked at Gu Fan with great interest, "I read your poem, it's very good! Are you interested in coming to my seat as a staff member?"
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your false praise, I will definitely consider it carefully!"
On the other side, the fifth prince Ji Yu was quite tired of Gu Fan and Ji Yin's answers, and said resolutely: "Don't say so much, today, the prince sent a housekeeper to look for you, you should know what the so-called thing is!"
Gu Fan bowed his hand to the five princes and said, "Back to Your Highness, the palace steward has told me to know a little bit about it." ”
"It's good to know! Xue'er said that you can marry her if you are the first in the literary test, your previous works are excellent, I don't think it's fair, I want you to come here to compete again, let's start the competition!"
"No"
Gu Fan actually had a little understanding in his heart from stepping into the inner hall of the palace to talking to the third prince and the fifth prince. The battle for the throne between the two princes increased the political bargaining chips for the succession with the daughter of King Rong. King Rong didn't want his daughter to become a bargaining chip in politics, let alone a team.
Looking at the palace hall, in addition to the talented people who were stranded onlookers, King Rong, the third prince and the fifth prince on the stage were all chess players! They all wanted to achieve their own goals, so there was the current scene.
And Gu Fan knew that his little man was only involved by accident and was forced to enter the game. is already a frontier pawn, like a chess piece, becoming an opportunity or a balance point under the game of the three whirlpools.
Ke Yixue, who came with Gu Fan, has been hiding outside the hall and eavesdropping. In fact, she saw it so clearly in her heart, and secretly pinched a cold sweat for Gu Fan, and the guilt for Gu Fan became stronger and stronger in her heart. She couldn't figure out how she felt about Gu Fan in her heart, whether it started from liking her talent, or whether she felt guilty because of her involvement.
Just when the game was about to break out, the commander of the Qiandu Forbidden Army appeared out of nowhere and broke into the inner hall of King Rong's mansion. He looked at the third prince and the fifth prince on the stage, and said loudly with both hands.
"Your Royal Highness the Third and Your Highness's Fifth Highness, Your Majesty has issued a decree announcing that you will wait for you to enter the palace to face the saint!"
The fifth prince Ji Yu and the third prince Ji Yin seemed to have suddenly broken into Sikong, and they were both slightly stunned, how did the heart and father know that I was waiting in the Rongwang Mansion?
The third prince Ji Yin couldn't help but think about it, and then suddenly, his eyes were found, and the appearance of Sikong next to him seemed to be expected, and King Rong Kemo, who was slowly drinking tea in the old god.
Ji Yin got up unhurriedly and said loudly to the holy decree in Sikong's hand: "Son, obey the decree!"
Although Ji Yu's reaction was not as good as Ji Yin's, from Ji Yin's reaction, he already knew that Ke Mo had made this matter known to the saint today.
"Hmph!" Ji Yu snorted coldly, and then after receiving the order, he took the middle-aged scribe Jin Yue and strode out of King Rong's mansion.
When Ji Yin left the inner hall of the palace, he passed by Gu Fan, patted him on the shoulder and said, "What I said just now is always valid!" and then left with the fifth prince.
After the two princes left the table, the inner hall of King Rong's mansion seemed much deserted.
Gu Fan didn't expect such an accident, he was on the road, and he kept thinking of countermeasures in his mind to prevent himself from becoming an outcast. But it's good that this happened like this, although he entered the game, but the killing machine has not yet appeared.
Rong Wang Kemo, who was sitting firmly on the mahogany chair on the stage, suddenly got up, walked in front of Gu Fan and said.
"Gu Fan, this king appreciates your talent and wants to invite you to be a guest in the palace for a few days, what do you think?"
Gu Fan looked at Ke Mo with a smiling face no matter who he was looking at, but resolving the confrontation between the two highnesses in the palace was enough to prove that it was difficult to deal with.
Moreover, in the palace before, what was the connection between the popular man with the lotus mark on the back of his neck and King Rong? All kinds of questions were inextricably linked between Gu Fan's thoughts, and there was no way to delve into them. Therefore, Gu Fan planned to stay in the palace to explore his thoughts.
The prince told not to dare to disobey, but his sister was still at home, and I hope that the prince will go back and ask for a while. Gu Fan was still very worried about Shangguan Jiantang, who was waiting for him in the Tibetan Sword Zhai, and said to King Rong.
"Yes!"
