On the fourth day of the eighth month, the morning sun sprinkled on the earth, and a team of men and horses left the Zheng army camp at Dano Lake, escorting several carriages to the north.

Jiang Anyi rode charcoal and walked at the front of the team, the grass in front of the Danuo Lake station had been bulldozed, revealing a bare yellow surface, a few withered grasses that had not been cleaned were floating in the wind, and the air was filled with a foul smell, a mixture of burnt and rancid smell, which was disgusting.

Chen Yinguang shrank in the car with a pale face, covered his nose with a silk handkerchief soaked in perfume, and cursed indiscriminately in his mouth, scolding the heavens and scolding the indifferent people, scolding the Son of Heaven and scolding Confucius Province for scolding the civil and military officials, and scolding himself for being this damn Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, which has not changed for more than ten years. Seeing Jiang Anyi riding on a horse from the car window, Chen Yinguang hated it even more, it wasn't this disaster, he hadn't been smooth since he met him.

Kong Province looked solemn, from time to time to lift the curtain to look out, this trip to seek peace, the Son of Heaven gave the bottom line is that the Zheng army retreated to the north of the town, and the two sides withdrew troops to maintain the situation before the second northern expedition; open border markets, open trade, and exchange of goods; exchange of prisoners of war with the surrendered Badai and other tribes; The Son of Heaven secretly signaled that if the desert people could let the army withdraw to Zhenbei City safely, he might as well give them some silver taels, grain, silk, tea and other things. But the desert people are winning for the first time, and their hearts are booming, how can they agree to the request for peace, I hope that Jiang Anyi can say that the saint of the desert people can move, even if the conditions are harsher, he might as well agree to it.

Walking out of more than ten miles, you can see the traces of the fire, the more you go inside, the more devastated it is, the indifferent people clean up the corpses on the battlefield, the armor they peel off is piled up in one place, the corpses are thrown in the fire and burned, and the smoke billows out in dozens of places, straight into the sky, and the sky is full of haze.

When the desert people saw the convoy, they quickly gathered into a team and rushed over, Jiang Anyi held a knife in front of the front, and shouted: "We are the envoys of Zheng Guo, and we have come to ask to see your holy daughter and the Dharma King." In addition to Kong Province and Chen Yinguang, Jiang Anyi brought 200 light horsemen as escorts.

Jiang Anyi, the station of Danuo Lake, saw his younger brother An Yong, and learned that his brother was going to go to the Moren Wang Court to sue for peace, Jiang Anyong strongly asked to accompany him, and after being stopped by Jiang Anyi, he asked Park Tianhao and others to protect Jiang Anyi. Xuanjie Lieutenant Ning Xiaohu (Ah Hu) learned that Jiang Anyi was going to Moren Wangting to seek peace, and took the initiative to ask Lu to go with him, and after many years, he met the deceased again, and both of them were very happy.

Those desert riders didn't pay attention to Jiang Anyi's shouts at all, and came straight at them with a roar. Jiang Anyi's eyes froze, these desert horses are arrogant and domineering, and they will get carried away with a victory, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve peace this time. Kong Province lifted the curtain and shouted, "Master Jiang, teach them a lesson." ”

As the left minister, Kong Province knows Jiang Anyi very well, knowing that he is not only outstanding in literature but also amazing in martial arts. Mo Qi arrogantly rushed to the team, Kong Xing knew that it was useless to blindly forbear and retreat, and only by being tougher than him would he win respect.

Hearing Kong Xiang's command, Jiang Anyi stepped forward on his horse and used the back of the moon-killing knife in his hand to meet the shining scimitar of the desert horse. With a "bang", the desert rider with a knife was knocked off the horse's back and fell to the ground. Jiang Anyi waved his left fist, and Yuan Xuan's true qi was stimulated like a pillar, hitting the Mo Qi on the left, and the person was like being hammered, spitting blood and wilting on the horse.

The army was newly defeated, and Jiang Anyi was depressed in his heart

Angry, just to take advantage of this group of desert horses to vent, both arms shook, the figure jumped up from the horseback, like a goshawk spread its wings to pounce on the desert horse, the desert horse was taken by Jiang Anyi's momentum, and hurriedly strangled the galloping war horse, the war horse neighed and stood up, Jiang Anyi's figure came to the horse, and kicked the horse's head with his right leg. With a shattering sound of "pop", Yuan Xuan's true qi penetrated through his body, violently shattering the horse's head, and the war horse let out a wail and fell to the ground with a bang.

In the blink of an eye, the three horsemen fell to the ground, like a galloping wind, and the surging desert riders stopped their horses one after another, looking at Jiang Anyi with a terrifying gaze. Kong Province got out of the car, stood on the wheel of the car and said loudly: "I am the left minister of Zheng Guo, and I came to the royal court to meet the holy woman on the order of my emperor and convey my emperor's greetings. You are rude, and you don't hurry to deliver the letter. ”

Those desert riders discussed for a moment, and someone said in a jerky Zheng language: "Come with us." ”

Along the road, there were constantly desert riders joining the ranks on both sides, these deserts laughed loudly, mocked, and some deliberately raised dust to provoke,

Goodbye Zahu, the royal court is not far away, Jiang Anyi looked at the royal city made of black stone, more than ten years have passed, and he can't see the slightest change. The horn sounded, and a team of desert horsemen greeted the royal city, led by Zuo Dafuqu Subu Naying.

Kong Province got out of the carriage, smiled on his face and looked at the galloping Su Bu Naying with bitterness in his heart, Su Bu Naying jumped off the horse two zhang away, walked quickly with a spring breeze on his face, opened his arms and said with a smile: "Master Kong, I haven't seen you for two days, if I look at the autumn every three autumns, I miss the autumn water very much." ”

Listening to Su Bu Naying's half-intelligible Zheng language, Kong Province tried his best to maintain a smile and hugged Su Bu Naying, and said, "Lord Fuqu, we meet again." There is a saying in Zheng Guo, come and don't be rude, Lord Fuqu went to Zheng Ying twice, and my emperor even sent the old man to come back and pay respects, ask to see the holy woman and the king, and discuss the matter of the two countries to strike the army. ”

Subu Naying smiled playfully: "Lord Kong's words are really good, the Holy Maiden sent me to greet Zheng Envoy, please inside." However, these guards brought by Master Kong could not enter the royal court, so they waited outside the royal court. ”

It's coming. Kong Xing said angrily: "Lord Fuqu, when you came to sue for peace, our country did not stop your guards from the camp, and you did not do this in a hospitable way. ”

Sub Naying sneered: "The royal court is my holy land, how can the soldiers of the Zheng people step into the holy land, this is a desecration of the holy land." Master Kong, if you feel insulted, you might as well go back with the team. ”

Jiang Anyi was furious, and the cold murderous aura was like a substance attacking Subu Naying. Guru Rule, who was beside Subnaying, took a step forward and stood in front of him, and the two dark qi collided in one place, and a storm rose on the flat ground, blowing everyone's clothes and fluttering wildly, and the withered grass on the ground was curled and broken. Xu Yixiang gently pulled Kong Province and protected him behind him, and Xu Yixiang disguised himself as a coachman in Kong Province to protect him closely.

"Anyi, don't be rude." Kong Province said to Su Bu Naying without being arrogant or humble: "Lord Fuqu, Kong is here with sincerity, you want to refuse me outside the city, the two countries will regain their swords, and the last mistake of Secretary Shi will lie with you in the future, can you afford it?" ”

Su Bu Naying was stunned for a moment, he was originally determined that Zheng Ren was eager to make peace and had to bow his head for his rude request, but he didn't expect Kong Province to change color angrily, and it seemed that he really wanted to turn his head back, although the royal court had no intention of making a truce with Zheng Guo, but the holy woman might as well listen to what Zheng Envoy said.

Thinking of this, Subu

Na Ying said with a gloomy face: "Since Lord Kong insists on bringing the guards into the royal city, then please restrain them not to walk around, otherwise the old man will not care if there is an accident." Mr. Kong, please. ”

The wheels rolled into the royal city, Kong Province looked at the royal court of the desert people from the car window, there were fences on both sides of the street, behind the fence were countless tents, there were constantly desert horses passing by on the streets, and there were cows and horses everywhere on the ground, Kong Province secretly despised it, this is the royal court of the desert people, dirty and messy, not to mention compared with Dì Dū, even Zheng Guo's ordinary state capital is a hundred times cleaner than him.

The carriage stopped at the fence outside the royal court, Kong Xing sorted out his clothes and got out of the car, and took Jiang Anyi, Chen Yinguang and several guards through the alley made by the Golden Wolf Army, and marched towards the Golden Horde. The golden wolf army was fierce and angry, and his hand pressed the scimitar, just like the hideous King Kong in front of the Buddhist temple, Chen Yin's legs and stomach were shaking, if it weren't for Jiang Anyi beside him, he wouldn't be able to walk at all.

Subu Naying and Kong Province walked side by side in the front, squinting at Kong Province, secretly admiring in his heart, this Zheng people's left minister is just a weak literati, in the face of coercion words and deeds unchanged, still talking and laughing with himself, it seems that Zheng people are not cowards, and the victory or defeat of this expedition has not yet been decided.

The sun shines on the golden tent, Kong Province's gaze is a little blurred, this is the "imperial palace" of the desert, although it is not as large as the imperial city, but it can be regarded as splendid, magnificent. Stepping into the golden tent, the tent is spacious and bright, and the faint fragrance of tea lingers on the tip of the nose, which makes people feel good.

Jiang Anyi had been to the Golden Tent, and when he stepped into it again, he found that the Golden Tent was much empty, many furnishings were gone, and the golden utensils on the table were gone.

"Zheng Guo's envoy Kong Province has seen the Holy Maiden, the Dharma King, and all the adults." Kong Province bowed his hand.

Jiang Anyi's gaze fell on Tizhu's face, the goose-egg-shaped face was as smooth as porcelain, the beautiful eyes under the slender eyebrows were like stars, the lips were like dew petals, and the two long braids hung down on the bulging chest. Small flower hats, embroidered clothes, colorful, although there is no jewelry decoration, but like a bright pearl to attract everyone's attention. The little girl has grown into a bright and shining girl, like a flower blooming.

"Desert envoys don't have to be polite", the sound is like a yellow bird singing, like the ice cubes flowing in the clear spring colliding, melodious and beautiful. This voice evoked memories in Jiang Anyi's heart, and the bits and pieces of kidnapping Tizhu and escaping came to his heart, and the corners of Jiang Anyi's lips couldn't help but smile.

Ti Zhu's gaze fell on Jiang Anyi, and she exclaimed in surprise: "Brother Jiang, are you Brother Jiang?" "Which girl is not pregnant with spring, Tizhu was robbed by Jiang Anyi and got along for a few days, Jiang Anyi left a deep impression in her heart, Tizhu was able to stand up strong after the death of her father Khan, and it was not unrelated to Jiang Anyi telling her that "the greater the power, the greater the responsibility". Ti Zhu joined the Sadu Sect to become a saint and announced that she would not marry for life, she has many admirers around her, and Ti Zhu occasionally compares them with Brother Jiang, there is no doubt that Jiang Anyi occupies an unshakable position in her heart.

Time flies, thirteen years have passed in a blink of an eye, Jiang Anyi was only black fluff on his lips back then, and now he has a short beard, and the young man has become a mature and steady young man, no wonder Tizhu didn't recognize it for a while.

The years are also like fine wine, brewing the thoughts in the heart into a strong fragrance, intoxicating at the moment of encounter, Tizhu looked at Jiang Anyi and bloomed with the most beautiful smile.
