Gao Cheng glanced at Xiao Zhengde with great interest, and he didn't know why, his eyes made Xiao Zhengde's body tremble, as if he was frightened by something. "If His Royal Highness the Great Prince stays in Yecheng, at least such sincerity can be regarded as sincerity." Gao Cheng said lightly and slammed it into Xiao Zhengde's heart.

Self-hostage? Xiao Zhengde didn't dare to think about it, "General......" He wanted to refuse, but he didn't know what to say.

Yang Kan said calmly, "Sending envoys as hostages is also the wind of reconciliation between the two countries in ancient times." His Majesty the Emperor of my dynasty also has this intention, and I can send a prince to stay in Yecheng for a long time. However, His Majesty did not order His Royal Highness the Great Prince to stay in Yecheng this time, and asked the general to forgive him. ”

Xiao Zhengde breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and secretly thanked Yang Kan for saving him. He unconsciously looked to the side, and Hou Jing also looked at him expressionlessly. Hou Jing really felt in his heart that this Linhe County King was really easy to manipulate.

Gao Cheng moved his gaze from Xiao Zhengde to Yang Kan, and said slowly, "General Yang Kan, since the two countries have been reconciled, you might as well state your original intentions." If you don't make your Majesty's meaning clear once and explain that the lower officials have misunderstood the good intentions of His Majesty Emperor Liang, wouldn't it be the sin of the lower officials? "This is to force Yang Kan to speak thoroughly once, don't always borrow Emperor Liang's mouth for a while.

Gao Cheng may not have dreamed that his question would cause him a lot of trouble.

Yang Kan was not in a hurry, and Zhen Zhen said, "His Majesty the Emperor of our dynasty has orders before we send envoys. Between countries, wars and peace are commonplace. Liang and Wei fought for a long time in Chu and Huai, which was neither good for Liang nor Wei. In order to express His Majesty's expectation for reconciliation, he is willing to take the prince to the Northern Dynasty as a proton. His Majesty specially invited the general to enter the Southern Dynasty in person, go to Jiankang to select protons, and then bring them back to Yecheng, during which everything depends on the general's decision. ”

Yang Kan looked at Gao Cheng, finished speaking, and turned to Emperor Yuan Shanjian, "Please ask His Majesty the Great Wei Emperor to decide." ”

Yang Kan's relaying of Emperor Liang's intention of reconciliation is more realistic. Liang and Wei have indeed been fighting for a long time in the border fortress, and they have been stalemate, and it is difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser. Hou Jing understands this matter best, and Gao Cheng also knows it in his heart. This state of affairs is not good for Liang and Wei, and Emperor Liang wants to make peace, which is a smart way and is also very good for Wei.

Ten years is more credible. The world will be divided for a long time, and Liang and Wei will naturally not be able to be peaceful forever without fighting. If a ten-year period can be set, each of them will recuperate, and the future will be discussed in the future, at least the contradiction between Liang and Wei is not the main contradiction that needs to be resolved urgently.

Emperor Xiao Yan of Liang took the initiative to propose to take the prince as a hostage, which is more sincere.

But the problem is to ask Gao Cheng to go to Jiankang in person to select and bring back the protons. With Gao Cheng's status in the Northern Dynasty today, it is really not suitable to re-enter the Southern Dynasty. What's more, the significance of sending protons is only in the matter itself, and I don't care too much about which prince is used as a hostage, so why do you have to choose it yourself. But it is not rude to come. Emperor Liang has already offered to take the prince as a hostage, if the Northern Dynasty refuses to agree to let the general personally bring back the proton, it seems that the Northern Dynasty is not sincere.

The hall was quiet again.

Yuan Shanjian didn't answer Yang Kan immediately, and he also had a lot of thoughts in his heart. Originally speaking, he was willing to go to Jiankang with Gao Cheng, at least he could breathe a sigh of relief and face him less time. But why did Emperor Liang have to go to Gao Cheng? Could it be that the Gao clan is the real master of Wei, and not the Yuan clan is the lord of Wei? If Gao Cheng went to the Southern Dynasty, reconciled with Emperor Liang, and did what the monarch should have done as a courtier, who would have regarded him as the emperor of Great Wei in the future?

Gao Cheng saw that Yuan Shanjian was silent, he slowly turned around, and this time he turned around, taking advantage of the situation to see the thoughts of all kinds of people clearly. In the end, his gaze stopped on Yang Kan, and said with a faint smile, "I already know General Yang Kan's heart for the community. "It's a bit inexplicable, for the community, for which society? Gao Cheng didn't care what others thought, stood up and said to Yuan Shan, "Your Majesty, what General Yang Kan said will not be wrong, and the minister Gao Cheng is willing to enter the Southern Dynasty as an envoy." Please give General Yang Kan generously and reward him for his loyalty to the community. "It is inexplicable to ask for a reward. If Yang Kan had meritorious service to the Southern Dynasty, why should he use the emperor of the Northern Dynasty to reward him?

Xiao Zhengde glanced at Yang Kan puzzled.

Yuan Shan saw that Gao Cheng himself was willing to go, and he smiled and bowed. He said, "This is very good, the general has worked tirelessly for the integration of the north and the south, and he can't bear to be alone." He suddenly turned his gaze to Hou Jing, who was standing below, and ordered, "Hou Situ is also a person who has been in contact with the Southern Dynasty for a long time, so follow the general into Liang as an envoy." "If you want to talk about the actual battle between Wei and Liang, Hou Jing is indeed more qualified.

Hou Jing's mind was very fast, he wanted to get this opportunity very much, who knew that the emperor actually issued an order in person, Hou Jing immediately went out of the class to thank him and said, "Your Majesty personally ordered, the minister Hou Jing will not give up, he will follow the general, and will not dishonor His Majesty's holy order." ”

It was a foregone conclusion, and Gao Cheng didn't say anything more.

In the afternoon, the street market in Yecheng is still bustling with people. Cui Jishu looked at the prosperous scene outside in the ox cart, and secretly admired in his heart that the prince was really a minister who ruled the world, and it was only a little more than a year, and the strength of the country could also be seen from here.

Cui Jishu lowered the curtain and looked at Gao Cheng, who was leaning against the car wall and sleeping pretending to be asleep. No, Shizi may have really fallen asleep, his eyelashes trembled slightly, his breathing was slow, and only then would he be so calm, and his brows were furrowed. Cui Jishu knew that Shizi was really tired. Today, Liang Envoy has spent a lot of his energy on the prince, not to mention that he has not rested and recuperated after returning to Yecheng.

"Uncle Cui, why are you staring at me?" Gao Cheng suddenly spoke, which startled Cui Jishu who was in deep thought. There was such a tacit understanding between them, Gao Cheng didn't open his eyes, but he could feel that Cui Jishu was looking at him in the slightly dim light.

"Is Lang going to Dongbai Hall?" Cui Ji asked after a sigh of relief. According to his feelings, Lord Lang was the most relaxed time in Dongbaitang, and at this time, he really needed to relax.

"No, no." Gao Cheng opened his eyes as he answered. Although those beautiful green eyes are still so beautiful to the extreme, when they open their eyes, people can see that he is full of tiredness and exhaustion. He replied so decisively without the slightest hesitation.

"Is the prince going home?" Cui Jishu asked again. Yes, didn't he see it with his own eyes, the prince remembered the princess in his heart, probably going back to the house, right?

Gao Cheng didn't answer him. He leaned back against the wall of the car and closed his eyes again. After a long time, he was a little lazy and said, "Shuzheng, I'm tired...... You go find a place......" He spoke staccato and in a low, soft voice. This man looks like a prince of Houmen, where is he still a great general who dominated the world and shocked the temple a few hours ago?

Cui Jishu was stunned, tired, and didn't want to go back to the house, and he didn't want the beauties of Dongbaitang, did the prince want to find a Qinlou Chu Pavilion? But this is not the personality of the son, although the son of the world is amorous and lustful, but he has never agreed with the person who is indiscriminate.

"Lord Lang...... "It's embarrassing Cui Jishu, you can't really take the son of the world to something bad." Uncle Rong was thinking about it. "The needs of the prince are more important to him than the emperor's holy orders.

"I want to drink,......" Gao Cheng said as if muttering to himself with his eyes closed. He was reminding Cui Jishu, knowing that Cui Jishu wanted to go elsewhere again, he really didn't have that mind now.

I see, Cui Jishu smiled secretly in his heart. This is easy to do, in front of you is the market, there are many wine shops, flag pavilions are in sight, and there are good crane wine in it. "Fly Qingxuan and drink green, square double bridle and give delicacies", even for it, it is also an elegant thing. There are still some hours until the curfew, and with the current state of the prince, Cui Jishu glanced at Gao Cheng, thinking that he was afraid that he would be really drunk after a few days, and it would be good to send him back to his house when the time came.

Cui Jishu stopped and replied, "Shizi, there is a flag pavilion in front, just ascend and drink." ”

The flag pavilion, which was originally an official office, has now become a good place to climb and drink. In the market, there is no higher place than the flag pavilion. Therefore, Cui Jishu took it for granted that Gao Cheng was led to the flag pavilion.

Gao Cheng changed his clothes and got out of the car, and the market atmosphere in the market made him refreshed, and his eyes suddenly lit up. Originally, I was going to go to the flag pavilion, but at this time, I suddenly heard a wisp of pipa sound. The pipa melody was Hu Yin, and when it came to his ears, Gao Cheng was immediately attracted to him, and he couldn't help but stop and turn his head to find out where the pipa sound came from.

There are all kinds of sounds in the market, but it is this wisp of turtle pipa sound that is not obvious to other people's ears is very different to Gao Cheng's ears. He couldn't help himself and ran away to the sound of the lute. Cui Jishu saw that Shizi stopped listening, he also searched carefully, and also heard the sound of the pipa, but it sounded no different to him. Although there are not many Hu people in Yecheng, it is basically common, and occasionally a few can still be seen. There are also Hu people's wine shops, among which there are Hu girls who are good at playing the pipa.

Thinking of this, Cui Jishu had an idea, and sure enough, he saw a wine shop not far in front of him that was different. The liquor store doesn't look big, and it's not very busy in front of the door, and there are hardly any people coming in or out. But the wine shop looks like it has a remarkable temperament. It is from here that the music of the Guizi pipa comes from.

Gao Cheng didn't need Cui Jishu to remind him, he had already found this wine shop, and he walked in. Cui Jishu turned around and ordered the people who followed him to wait outside, and when he walked away, he also walked in. It is rare for the prince to indulge like this, and he must not want to let those servants and guards disturb him.

As soon as Gao Cheng walked in, his eyes lit up. The style of the wine shop is very different, different from ordinary customs, such as being in a foreign land. There was only one of them, a girl who was playing the tortoise lute. The girl is indeed a Hu person, but on closer inspection, she doesn't seem to be an ordinary Hu person. When the girl saw someone coming in, she immediately put down the lute in her hand and stood up to greet her.

The girl's complexion is like wheat, her eyes are huge, her eye sockets are slightly deep, her nose is high and straight, and her lips are wide and plump, which is not at all the appearance of an ordinary woman in the Northern Dynasty. The hair looks black, but it is golden brown in black, and the hair is slightly curly. She had long hair in braids on the left, right, and back of her head, and wore a white robe. When the girl got up and walked, her movements were very light and agile, almost like flying, which was not at all the usual thing to see in a well-behaved and weak willow to help the wind, which made people feel fresh and surprised.

Seeing Gao Cheng and Cui Jishu coming in, the girl greeted her and called with a smile, "Childe." "I speak Chinese quite fluently. When she looked up at Gao Cheng, she was obviously amazed. She must have never seen such a beautiful man.

Gao Cheng's gaze crossed her, and looked behind her, the turtle pipa she had put down just now. "Childe likes to listen to pipa music?" The girl was very smart and asked at the opportunity. Without waiting for Gao Cheng to speak, he walked over again and picked up the pipa and sat down, "Childe likes it, I'll play another song." "It's not pretentious at all. If you like it, I'll play it, which gave Gao Cheng another surprise. He also walked over and sat down across from her, with his back to the entrance.

Cui Jishu glanced back at the guards and servants standing a little far outside, relieved himself, and also walked over and sat down.

The girl's temperament is very enthusiastic and unrestrained, and the Hu song she plays is also like her person, with a cheerful and smooth beat. While she was playing, her eyes did not leave the extremely beautiful son in front of her, and her eyes seemed to be able to speak, which tickled people's hearts.

Gao Cheng looked at her with a smile and sat quietly listening to her play.

Cui Jishu glanced at Gao Cheng's silhouette, and suddenly sighed, he hadn't seen Shizi smile so comfortably for a long time. It's no wonder that Shizi wants to put aside his identity for a while and drink in a street wine shop, but you can imagine how much pressure he has in his heart.

The girl put down the pipa and looked at Gao Cheng with a smile, her eyes seemed to ask him, is the pipa music she played good? Does he like it?

Who knows, Gao Cheng suddenly picked up the turtle pipa, hugged it in his arms with great interest, gently swept the fingers of his right hand on the five strings, tried it, and smiled at the girl, "How about I play a song too?" ”

When the girl heard him say this, she looked at him with a smile on her face, surprised and delighted, as if she was very curious, and as if she did not believe that he could also play the lute. Seeing that he was very gentle, and his voice was so good, there was no trace of impetuousness, and he also nodded with a smile, "Childe, please." ”

Cui Jishu was so shocked that he almost couldn't close his mouth. The prince suddenly had this interest, was it intentional to be this girl? He couldn't help but look at the girl carefully, and felt that she was indeed very beautiful.

Gao Cheng hugged the pipa horizontally, and his fingers were gently twisted at the beginning, and a string of light and smooth music flowed out.

There was nothing left in the liquor store except the sound of the lute. The girl listened attentively and carefully, and at the same time, her eyes kept looking at Gao Cheng without shying away, full of affection and reluctance.

The music is light and slow at first, then the tone is gorgeous and rich, then it becomes thicker and heavier, with a little sadness, and then it becomes slow and long again. During this period, Gao Cheng's fingers brushed, swept, hooked, and wiped, and he was very skilled, obviously with deep kung fu and was very good at it.
