The moment the head rolled off, Zhou Chaozong's throat moved, his head roared violently, and there were only two words in his heart: It's over.

He sat tremblingly in the main hall, taking deep breaths, trying to make a sound in his throat, but he couldn't get it.

The old prime minister and the chief of the palace guards on the side also gasped, but their faces were quite calm.

"I have seen His Majesty the Emperor of Guiping Kingdom, this is the sixth prince of our Dacheng, we have come to discuss something with you."

Zeng Qidao was the first to speak loudly.

Only then did Zhou Chaozong raise his eyes and look at Xiao Yizheng who was standing in the center, and he was shocked in his heart. He thought that the person who did such a thing should be a hideous-looking, fierce and vicious person, but he saw that the person in front of him was handsome and heroic, looking at himself with a warm smile. This smile made him dazed for a moment, this is the enemy who came to pull him into hell, it is clearly a good person who came to help him accumulate merit. But his eyes fluttered, and he saw that his black clothes were hung with deep and light different colors, and his heart was lifted, and he quickly became clear, it was human blood splashed on his clothes. He took a deep breath, tilted his gaze slightly, looked behind him, and saw a resolute and calm young man looking at him like a torch, and swallowed his throat again.

"This is Zeng Shuai's son, Zeng Qidao." Xiao Yizheng said slowly. It was as if it was really a scene of envoys meeting each other and introducing each other amicably.

Zeng Shuai? Hearing this name, Zhou Chaozong, the old prime minister, and the chief guard all moved in their hearts, and there was a hint of admiration. You must know that Zeng Ji and the Northwest Army led by him are an undefeated banner in the hearts of everyone in the Northwest Land.

"The first time I visited your country, I didn't bring a precious gift, but fortunately, I took local materials and presented a big gift to your country, and I hope to accept it with a smile." Xiao Yizheng said with a smile, his eyes fell on the head of the person not far away.

Zhou Chaozong closed his eyes, he really wanted to die.

The old prime minister and the chief guard glanced at each other, and said boldly: "I don't know what His Majesty Emperor Dacheng means?" ”

Xiao Yizheng stepped forward slowly, and stepped forward leisurely: "Guiping and Dacheng have always been good friends, and the people-to-people exchanges between the two countries are also frequent. In order to safeguard the interests of the states in the Western Regions, Dacheng also did not hesitate to send troops to protect, for the peace and prosperity of the Western Regions, we are contributing people, I don't know if there are still places that are not in place, so that Guiping feels that Danda will do better? ”

"No, no, no." Zhou Chaozong hurriedly denied it three times.

Xiao Yizheng nodded slightly, "So, does this king think that this time Guiping promised to give the Danda garrison a moment of confusion?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes, a moment of confusion, a moment of confusion." Zhou Chaozong echoed for a while.

"That's good." Xiao Yizheng's posture of spring breeze and rain: "Since you are confused for a while, this king will solve it for you." The fire in the North Palace was set by the king, and the soldiers of the Danda tribe who lived in the North Palace were killed by the king himself, so don't let your country's momentary confusion affect the long-standing friendship between our two countries, and I hope that your country will not be dissatisfied. ”

Dissatisfied? Naturally, it is dissatisfied! Quite dissatisfied! This is in the territory of Guiping Country, you are really not afraid that I will return to peace in your eyes, is this what an envoy of a country should do? Zhou Chaozong said it happily in his heart, but he just couldn't reach his mouth. He is not stupid, in the current situation, he has no choice but to throw a mouse bogey.

The old prime minister blew his beard and glared and said, "His Royal Highness King Heng is acting like this, which is against the demeanor of the Heavenly Empire. ”

Xiao Yizheng glanced at him, "The demeanor of my Heavenly Empire is not limited to these subtleties. The prime minister is a little more pedantic than the old masters. ”

Section? Is this a subsection? Is murder and arson a trivial? The old prime minister gritted his back molars, and just as he wanted to open his mouth to refute, he was blocked by Xiao Yizheng.

"What's more, tonight's matter was decided by the king and the return country." He frowned: "Do you want to regret returning to China?" Say it's Dacheng's solo action to provoke a relationship between you and Kudler? He pouted again, "That's going to be hard." He suddenly died in your North Palace, and there were not many other soldiers left, but they really heard that this was the joint action of Dacheng and Guiping. At this time, when I return to China, I want to pick it up, but I'm afraid I can't. He shook his head and asked Zeng Qidao: "What is the saying in the Central Plains?" ”

Zeng Qidao replied with understanding: "I can't afford to jump into the Yellow River." ”

"Yes, you can't wash it by jumping into the Yellow River." Xiao Yizheng looked at Zhou Chaozong with a smile.

Zhou Chaozong had a hatred in his heart, but he was helpless. How could he not know what kind of situation he was facing?

His heart could be heard dripping blood in the hall.

Xiao Yizheng sighed, changed his tone, but became sincere: "Actually, your country cooperates with Dacheng, what's wrong with relying on me Dacheng?" Even though the territory is so close, Dacheng has never bullied Guiping. Now this turmoil in the Western Regions was completely provoked unilaterally by Suddenly, and his ambition should not let so many people in the Western Regions be buried with him. This king thinks that everyone, including the people who return to peace, also want to live a peaceful and prosperous life. ”

Zhou Chaozong's heart moved, what he said was good.

"I know the origin of Guiping and Kujler, but this origin cannot make Your Majesty ignore the well-being of the people of a country." Xiao Yizheng took a step forward and said solemnly: "This king can make an alliance with your country today, as long as Guiping does not allow Danda to garrison from now on, Dacheng will never be implicated in the Danda Ministry; On the contrary, if there is a difficulty in returning to peace, Dacheng is willing to give a helping hand to support. ”

"And ...... this time?" Zhou Chaozong knew that Kuerle's army was on the way, and he was afraid that Kuerle would come to take revenge.

Xiao Yizheng naturally understood his thoughts, and said decisively: "He won't." Dandabu is a nomadic people, living in the grass, in fact, he does not dare to be interested in Guiping, or even the land of Beisu. He raised troops this time to use the defeat of Dacheng's Northwest Army as a guarantee for his prestige, and what he wanted to loot would only be property. Although he really wanted to use Guiping as the base camp of the garrison, if he didn't succeed, he would not waste his troops to attack Guiping, and he wanted a quick victory more than anyone else. However, if you are not at ease, when the king returns, you can also send an army to your country to guard it for a while. He spoke frankly, and seeing that everyone's faces were already convinced, he finally added: "This king has said all this, the pros and cons are so obvious, I don't think there is too much to think about, and I don't have the time to wait." I brought the national letter," he stretched out his hand, and Zeng Qidao took out a roll of paper from his bosom and handed it over. "Who will sign it in your country?"

Zhou Chaozong knew that even if he didn't have the promise he had later, that is, if he killed the Danda soldiers tonight, he would already be tied to Dacheng when he returned to Pingguo, and there was no way out, so he could only sign this national credential, but thinking about it was really not a bad thing.

After walking out of the main hall, Xiao Yizheng ordered: "Send someone to spread the news early tomorrow morning." Let the brothers of the Sky Wolf Camp stay in Guiping for a few days before going back, just in case anything happens. The two of us set off at dawn to return to Beisu to prepare for war. ”

Zeng Qidao said solemnly: "Can Your Highness inform me in advance of your future actions?" ”

Xiao Yizheng paused, turned around and smiled: "What, you are also afraid?" ”

"It's not scary, it's a little exciting."

The two looked at each other and smiled heartily.

"Could it be that on Beiwang Mountain that day, His Highness already had a plan and arrangement? It was indeed hidden from his father and from everyone. ”

Xiao Yizheng didn't deny it, and raised his eyes to look at the starry night sky. "As you say, Hurler will take the risk, and if this battle is inevitable, then it is natural to minimize the losses. The upper army is scheming, the second is the enemy, the second is the army, and the next is the siege. Guiping must not be allowed to become the rear camp of its garrison, as this will lead to a protracted war. And the fastest way I can think of to solve this alliance is like this, I came, because of my identity, even if there is the instigation of Sister Sudul, he Zhou Chaozong will never act without permission. It's not necessarily someone else. And if I say it, let alone Zeng Shuai, you won't let me come. ”

Zeng Qidao thought that this was indeed the case. In the evening, they had just entered the city and arranged their station. Xiao Yizheng called them to a meeting, saying that Jin Ye was going to set fire to the North Palace of the Danda garrison, even if everyone was shocked at that time.

"But anyone is hurt?" Xiao Yizheng asked.

"A few people had some minor injuries, but they were fine." Zeng Qidao replied.

Xiao Yizheng nodded, looked down at his clothes, and said in a low voice: "Don't hide it from Yuanyi, I also feel a little scared at this moment." As he spoke, he laughed out loud and strode away.

Zeng Qidao looked at his back, so light and light, thinking of the people who fought hard in the sea of fire not long ago, his heart swelled with heartfelt admiration.

When the sky was white, Xiao Yizheng and Zeng Qidao rode out of the city, headed south, and went straight to Beisu. Both of them had not slept all night, and after a vicious battle, although they were extremely tired, their horses did not slow.

Xiao Yizheng only felt the wind whistling in his ears, and the oncoming chill made him very sober, so sober that he felt that the wind seemed to be suddenly mixed with additional sounds, like arrow feathers flying by, and when he realized this, it was already too late, and a sharp pain hit his right shoulder. He was shot.

I heard Zeng Qidao exclaim behind him: "Your Highness! ”

He quickly looked back, only to see that Zeng Qidao had already pulled his mount, stretched out his bow and arrows, and shot into the distance. He looked for arrows, and in the vast snow, a woman wrapped in a fiery red fox fur was sitting on a horse and aiming at them.

He squinted slightly, and also stopped chasing the dust, his own arrow should be given by defeating her.

Zeng Qidao's arrow drew a perfect arc in the air, and it landed in front of the woman's horse, but it was missed. He also wanted to ride his horse up, but was stopped by Xiao Yizheng.

"Far wing, it's out of range, don't step forward."

The woman didn't step forward, and shouted loudly: "Dacheng's Heng Wangye, you listen well, if you hurt my Danda soldiers' hatred, I Qiqina will definitely return it." ”

"Kikina, the youngest daughter of Suddenly." Zeng Qidao was taken aback: "Your Highness, she is alone at this time." ”

Xiao Yizheng understood what he meant, but still shook his head: "Girl's family, don't be embarrassed." Besides, it's better to let her go back to deliver the message. ”

He bit his lip, and the pain in his right shoulder became more and more obvious.

Zeng Qidao saw him like this, so he was naturally more worried about his injury, but Zhang Gong's hand with the arrow did not dare to put down, and he was wary of Qiqina's irrational horse attack.

"Go back and tell your father Khan, if he insists on coming, Beisu will pay homage to him for the rest of his life." Xiao Yizheng still looks full of neutrality.

Kicina was silent, paused, turned her horse's head, and galloped away.

At this time, Xiao Yizheng hurriedly grabbed Zeng Qidao's wrist, and said in a weak tone: "Far wing, the arrow may be poisonous." ”
