Lu Jinping was very happy to see this letter, and immediately rushed to the place where Yelujue lived with the eunuch with the letter under the escort of the plum blossom guard, and the eunuch read out the emperor's decree at the moment.

Yelujue himself was very happy after hearing this, thanked him repeatedly, and rewarded the eunuch with a generous sum of money. Lu Jinping was about to say goodbye and leave, but was stopped by Yelujue. She wanted to talk to Lu Jinping alone.

The conversation between the two took place in a room, and with the door closed, Lu Jinping found that there was that kind of warm look in Ye Lujue's eyes again. He didn't know why Yelujue was staring at him like this, but after he heard Yelujue's words, he gradually understood.

Yelujue said: "If you marry a Turkic princess, can you also marry our Khitan princess?" I have a daughter who is in the flowering season this year, and I haven't allowed anyone yet, I value you very much, and I want her to marry you, which can be regarded as a harmony between Khitan and Datang, what do you think? ”

As soon as he heard this, Lu Jinping's head became bigger. How did he take the peach blossom luck himself, how did a woman pick up a woman and send it to the door, first the Tubo county lord, then the Turkic princess, and now the Khitan princess. Although he still has indicators to marry another side princess, it is really fatal to have more women.

Lu Jinping hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "First of all, thank you for your love, and secondly, since I married a Turkic princess, it is really inappropriate to marry the Khitan princess as the side princess, and you just need to be close, we still have many princes in the Tang Dynasty, I can tell the emperor your wishes." You can send a mission to propose, and you will definitely find a satisfactory royal family, so why do you have to ask me to marry? ”

Yelujue's eyes flashed with admiration, his high chest kept rising and falling, and he said, "I still like you, most of the other princes are some gentlemen." I can rest assured when I marry you, on the one hand, my daughter has a home, and on the other hand, I can also make peace with Khitan and Datang, wouldn't it be a double win. ”

The reason why Lu Jinping was willing to marry a Turkic princess was because he was overwhelmed by her beauty and talent. It's because I have feelings first, and at the same time I talk about the issue of kinship. And now this Khitan princess actually wants to stuff it for herself, and he doesn't know what this princess looks like and whether she likes it or not. He didn't want to use his marriage purely as a bargain between those in power to maintain the stability of the regime.

So Lu Jinping shook his head and said, "Thank you very much for your love, or that sentence, I don't want to marry another woman for the time being." ”

Yelujue straightened her chest, twisted her waist, and said, "My daughter looks very similar to me, because you didn't see her." That's why I said that, if you look at me, you can see my daughter's beauty, and she will definitely not disappoint you. ”

Lu Jinping couldn't help but look at the beautiful woman in front of him. In fact, before this, he had already looked at this young and beautiful young woman, although she was already a little old, but her demeanor was excellent, and she could completely see the beauty of her youth. Even now. That's a beautiful woman, so her daughter shouldn't be far behind.

But. He still couldn't get interested, there were too many beauties and he couldn't all come to the house, so he shook his head and said, "It's still the same sentence, if Mrs. wants to make peace with Datang, let's send an envoy to propose." ”

Yelu Jue took two steps forward, almost sticking to Lu Jinping. looked up at him, his eyes were full of eagerness, and said, "I said, I fancy you, that's why I want to marry my daughter to you." You said yes. My daughter is very good, if you are still not at ease, you can do this, you go to Khitan with me and see my daughter with your own eyes, maybe you can rest assured, okay? ”

Lu Jinping was a little embarrassed by Yelu Jue's persistence, so he could only adopt delaying tactics: "We are waiting for news from the Turks, there is news that we are going to the Turks to propose marriage immediately, and our Ministry of Rites in the Tang Dynasty has sent officials, I don't have time to go to the Khitan now, I can only thank my wife for her love." ”

Yelujue was a little disappointed, but his eyes rolled for a moment, and a bright smile bloomed on his face again, and he said, "It's okay, you go to the Turks to propose marriage first, and we'll talk about this matter later." I know, you want to marry a Turkic princess as a princess, and it doesn't matter if my daughter is a side princess, I can wait. Anyway, I have a crush on you, so don't even think about running, hehe. ”

Lu Jinping had a black line on his head, thinking that this beautiful woman really did not achieve her goal and vowed not to give up, how could she force her daughter to others like this, could she really be loved by everyone and see flowers bloom? It's so cute, do you have to send your daughter to yourself?

However, now his appearance is indeed easy to please girls, Yushu is in the wind, and he is definitely rich and handsome, no wonder these women see that they are firmly grasping this high-performance stock.

Lu Jinping could only say goodbye and leave, and Yelujue's words came from behind him: "I will still come to you, you can't hide." ”

――――――

Finally, the news of the Turks came.

The Turks sent an envoy with a letter from the Empress Dowager of the Turks. The Turkic envoy eagerly met with Lu Jinping with great ceremonies and handed over the letter.

This letter was written enthusiastically, praising Lu Jinping's good life, and he was very satisfied with this marriage, thinking that his daughter's marriage to Lu Jinping was a perfect match, and it would definitely bring peace and tranquility to the Turks and the Tang Dynasty, and hoped to see Lu Jinping come to Heisha City to marry the bride as soon as possible.

It stands to reason that Princess Siyun is now in Datang, and she doesn't need to go to the Turks to marry at all, but Princess Siyun is now captured and is in Datang as a captive, so she must be sent back first, propose in person, and then marry her in a beautiful manner, which is in line with the rules.

Lu Jinping asked the Turkic Khan about his attitude, and the Turkic envoy respectfully told Lu Jinping that the Khan had led his troops to the west, and the marriage was decided by the Khan's mother. The khan was very filial, and the khan's mother favored the people, and the khan had no reason to object. They have now sent an expedited courier to report this matter to the Khan, and I am sure that the Khan will approve of it, so there is no need to worry about it.

Lu Jinping told Princess Siyun the news, and Princess Siyun was very happy. Now that the marriage has been reached, the next thing is to welcome the relatives, and the troublesome thing is that the iron chain on Princess Siyun's feet is made of dark iron, and ordinary iron swords can't cut off the iron chains, even if they are cut, the dark iron on the ankles can't be sawn off without hurting people.

In the end, Xiaoxiao made a move, and after using her sword to add internal force, she cut off the chains on Princess Siyun's feet. Xiaoxiao wore chains for several years, and finally got rid of the chains on this day, and she was extremely happy.

This time, the emperor sent to escort the Imperial Forest Army to the Turks to propose marriage, a total of 500 people, plus Lu Jinping, with 20 plum blossom internal guards, to form a team to send relatives and welcome relatives, and they set off for the Turks on this day.

Before leaving, Lu Jinping received a secret letter from the envoy sent by the crown prince Li Longji. After reading it, he couldn't help but show a mysterious smile on the corner of his mouth.

The procession to greet the relatives set off in a mighty manner, and Cao Jianshi took the Yamen officials to see them off.

It was winter, and the snow was knee-deep, making it difficult to walk, and it was necessary to stop every day after walking far, and some soldiers had already fallen on the road due to the extremely cold weather and illness.

Therefore, Lu Jinping ordered to slow down the march, and every day he had to wait for the sun to come out and get warmer before he set up camp, and ordered him to set up camp before the sun reached the top of the mountain in the west.

Every time they set up camp, they first have to sweep away the snow on the snow, expose the land below, make a fire on the land to cook in a pot, and then sweep away the hot ashes, spread the bedding, and sleep peacefully on it, just like the kang is still more comfortable, but unfortunately it doesn't last long, and before the second half of the night, there is no temperature.

The princess is like a bird that has been freed, it is very novel, sometimes she is with Lu Jinping, sometimes she stands on top of the mountains in a daze, looking at the stretching snow-capped mountains, and refuses to leave for a long time. At this time, Lu Jinping had no choice but to order to wait for him.

This time, they walked to a snowy field, and saw a black line towering over the horizon in the distance, slowly moving towards them.

The spies soon arrived with a report, and the chief of the Snow Ridge tribe came with a thousand elite soldiers to ask for an audience.

Lu Jinping was a little strange, so he asked Princess Siyun: "What does the chief do?" If he was coming to ask for a meeting, why did he bring so many soldiers? Isn't this a threat of force? ”

"He never took my father seriously. My father's orders were seldom obeyed, and this time he came with thousands of elite soldiers, and he called it a beautiful name to greet the envoys who sent them to meet you, the prince, rather than collect some money to buy the road. Because we are now going to cross their borders, and if we don't give money, I'm afraid we won't be able to get through."

Lu Jinping was furious: "This is too unusual, your father is a dignified khan, all tribes should obey his call, this chief doesn't obey the order, it's just that he knocked on your head, it's really lawless to the extreme." What's more, if the dignified Tang Dynasty **** envoys are knocked out by them, wouldn't it make people laugh off their big teeth if they pass on the world? ”

The princess still didn't quite understand the term "ripping bamboo poles", which appeared in later generations, but she could roughly understand what it meant, and sighed and said: "Although on the desert, all tribes revere my father as a khan, but each tribe has its own plans, and every time they go on an expedition, they have to bargain and bargain. In the name of "my father", he said that his father was the khan of the steppe, commanding the world, but in fact, the only people he could really mobilize were the people of our tribe. The other tribes still have to be discussed, and in the case of this tribe, they are one of the most disobedient tribes. ”

"So, we can only pass by letting him blackmail and pay the money? This can't work, what you do on the grassland is your business, our Datang is not wronged by this, - come here, prepare to fight! (To be continued.) )
