Chapter 387: Chilling
Is Lu Chong's oath worth believing? The answer, of course, is no.
He is such an ambitious and ruthless character, casually swearing is similar to farting, and only a fool would take it seriously. If the person who forced him to swear with a knife was not Lu Shanshan, he would have been afraid that his body would have been broken into thousands of pieces, where could he still stand in place alive?
Lu Shanshan withdrew her waist knife and stared at Lu Chong with red and swollen eyes.
Her keen eyes always pick up something in the unnatural eyes of others. However, the man who looked harmless to humans and animals smiled like a spring breeze, and even the deepest part of his eyes could not find the slightest suspicious fluctuation.
"You are different from others, and I will not care about you." Lu Chong smiled and walked away a few steps, then turned back and said, "However, seeing that I am sweating profusely, you should not be too willful, lest others look down on me." By the way, when everything is settled, our marriage can not be delayed any longer, there must be a hostess in this grassland, and I will not do what he thinks about this person except you...... Hehe. ”
Lu Shanshan looked at her swaggering back, gritted her teeth and plunged the blade into the soil.
Two months later, the capital.
Lu Chong became the Great Khan of Beihu without any suspense, and the news soon spread to Ruidu. A few days later, the envoy of Beihu went to the court with a letter from Lu Chong, and the entire court was in an uproar by the unreasonable request in the letter.
The Great Khan of the Hu people actually wanted to make an alliance with the emperor of Da Rui on the steppe? Is he addicted to the Alliance?
Da Rui is the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and Beihu is a barbarian, the new Dahan Khan...... It's the one named Lu Chong, what kind of thing is he, and he deserves to let the current emperor travel thousands of miles to the grassland to meet him?
The meeting between the emperor of the Central Plains and the Great Khan of the steppe did not happen, but it was hundreds of years ago, when the former dynasty and the Hu people fought and lost both, and no one could fight anymore.
It's a different story now! If you go by name, not only are you likely to be in danger, but you will also greatly damage the national dignity, and neither the emperor himself nor his courtiers can agree to it.
Therefore, the civil and military masses of the Manchu Dynasty were indignant, and they had the intention of beating out the sticks and even killing them on the spot.
In the face of all kinds of condemnations from the foaming stars, the Beihu envoy was neither panicked nor annoyed. He just said lightly: "The little minister came to the Southern Dynasty on the order of the Great Khan, and now that the words have been brought, he has fulfilled his duty, and it is up to the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Dynasty to go or not." However, the Great Khan also said that if the people of the Southern Dynasty look down on my Beihu royal court, he will come to Ruidu to meet His Majesty another day, and hope that His Majesty will entertain him when he arrives, so as not to chill the hearts of my Beihu people......"
Hearing these words, many people who were talking endlessly a moment ago closed their mouths with dirty faces.
It's a threat, it's a naked threat.
Of course, it is impossible for the Great Khan of Beihu to come to the capital with an embassy like the kings of those small vassal states, and if they want to come, they must come with hundreds of thousands of steppe warriors, who will have the heart to reason with you in the main hall at that time?
Everyone was silent for a long time, and finally a minister who was old and serious stood up for the emperor to shirk it, what government affairs are busy, what dragon body is precious and should not travel far, in short, I just don't go, but the words and words promised the new Great Khan a lot of benefits, such as congratulatory gifts that have increased by several percent than expected.
The envoy of Beihu reluctantly gave in a step, saying that he would allow him to go back and report to the Great Khan for discussion, and he was not in a hurry to settle it today, but no matter whether the emperor of the Southern Dynasty went or not, Da Rui should at least send an envoy to congratulate him in the early stage.
The courtiers have no objection to this, the state of etiquette, even if no one says that this is a must be done.
The envoy of Beihu retreated satisfied, and the deliberations of the court became extremely efficient. After a stick of incense, the candidate for the envoy to Beihu was decided.
The ending was almost a happy one.
However, a few days later, Xia Honghan, who had not been involved in the matter, suddenly turned into an angry lion.
Someone was secretly operating, putting Xiao Jing in the list of the mission, and also sealing him as an undertaker!
The reason is that people say that the Mirror is a big newspaper today and should contribute to the country; If the newspaper can send people to witness the process of friendship between the two countries and spread the story to the world in the form of news, it will definitely be a good story, so President Xiao Da is specially included in it, hoping that he will write some good articles and make some contributions to the maintenance of the rare peace situation, and so on.
Grandiose, right?
However, the love story of Xiao Jing and Xia Hanxue has long been told by storytellers, and even children of a few years old know that Lu Chong in the garage is a bad person, and Xiao Jing is desperate to snatch his beloved back from him.
At this time, if Xiao Jing is sent to the grassland, isn't that to deliver food to the new Great Khan Lu Chong?
Xia Honghan, who was anxious, ran to many places and used countless connections, but he couldn't save the situation, and his son-in-law still had to stay on the list of the mission.
According to the information he received, there are many people operating in the shadows, including many people who usually seem inconspicuous; Following the clues, the shadows of several powerful people such as King Zhao faintly appeared behind them.
Soon, the will was issued, and Xiao Jing's trip north again could not be changed.
Xia Fu.
Xia Honghan, who had a gloomy face, looked at Xiao Jing who was standing in front of him with his hands down, and said coldly: "Since you can't avoid this errand, you can go as a virtuous son-in-law." Heh, the Xia family is not a soft persimmon that anyone can step on, no matter if those people want to borrow a knife to kill or humiliate my Xia family, they all miscalculated.
These people had better burn incense and worship the Buddha and beg you to be okay. If you miss a little bit...... Then no one should be happy, the world has been peaceful for too long, it should be lively......"
In fact, Xiao Jing has already adjusted his mentality. There are many things that he can't decide with a small role, it's better to be troubled in vain than to be at peace when he comes, who said that he will die when he goes to the grassland? We'll have to wait and see!
Someone suggested that he follow the path of the Empress Dowager He, and he wanted to laugh at the thought of this idea. The Queen Mother likes Xia Hanxue very much, and sometimes she has to summon Xue'er into the palace to chat if she has nothing to do, but what does this have to do with him?
Empress Dowager He is not his grandmother, why should she take care of him everywhere? Besides, this matter is diplomacy, government politics, and not a harmless marriage, why should people stand up and protect you?
Therefore, Xiao Jing's mood is very relaxed, anyway, it is a knife to stretch out and shrink his head, and the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, it is not a big deal.
However, when he heard Xia Honghan gritting his teeth and saying this, he suddenly felt a little chilling.
