Zi said that don't do to others what you don't want to do to others, Xue Chongxun can't do everything, but he will have some self-discipline because of this. Killing his father and taking his wife is the same level of hatred, even if he can treat the war criminal Fu Lu in his heart like this, the wisest thing to do is to kill Fu Lu first, and then rob his wife, otherwise the hatred will be difficult to resolve.

But Xue Chongxun couldn't kill Fu Lu at this time, and he had to protect his safety. Fulu was supported by most slave owners in Tuyuhun and had him to maintain regional stability; What's more, if Fu Lu was killed in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, the peace talks would become floating clouds in an instant, and the war between the two sides would continue, which was not in line with Xue Chongxun's established strategy.

So he sighed softly and tried to restrain the ** in his heart. Greed seems to be an innate viciousness that cannot be eliminated and can only be restrained by reason.

But restraint was so fragile, when the banquet was over, Murong Yan said softly: "The prime minister is drunk, can Duke Wei send him back?" ”

Fu Lu had a lot of entourage, and if he wanted to send him back, of course, Xue Chongxun didn't have to send him personally, and Xue Chongxun heard the sound outside the strings...... Thinking of Murong Yan's intimate action of touching her leg with her foot before (although it was just a misunderstanding, he thought it was like that), and now that she invited herself under the pretext of giving someone away, Xue Chongxun was easy to think crookedly.

He looked at Murong Yan's unsmiling gaze, and guessed that the graceful figure under the mink jacket must be seductive, and the square inch was already a little messy.

Xue Chongxun pondered for a moment, thinking to himself: It's just a send-off, at most the atmosphere is ambiguous, and it doesn't hurt.

So he nodded in agreement, and stood up to help Fulu.

Unexpectedly, Fu Lu woke up at this time and said blankly: "The banquet is over?" ”

"The meeting is over." Murong Yan said. Xue Chongxun seemed to see a little disappointment in her eyes, what was she disappointed about, didn't she want to see Fu Lu wake up so soon?

Murong Yan said again: "Wei Guogong wants to send you back......

Xue Chongxun couldn't help but say, "I'll still send it." ”

"Wei Guogong treats each other with courtesy, and the courtesy is comprehensive, which really makes us feel at home." Murong Yan stared intently at Xue Chongxun's face while she spoke.

Xue Chongxun avoided her warm eyes, and said with a forced smile: "May the two states be reconciled for a long time, and never fight each other." ”

The group walked out of the lobby as they spoke. The attendants in front of them carried lanterns, and everyone walked through the corridor, bypassing Yimen and Xiao Qiang, before leaving the state office. Because the hotel is next to the state government, it is not in the government. A row of houses on the east side was originally a residence for receiving past colleagues and imperial court officials, and there were usually a few officials from the household department and the Ministry of Industry, but most of them were vacant, so it was arranged for the Tuyuhun envoy Fulu and others to stay.

Entering the foyer of the hotel, everyone helped Fu Lu into the upper room on the north side, and Xue Chongxun also went in together, according to etiquette, he naturally wanted to drink a cup of tea and talk before leaving. The pace of life in the Tang Dynasty was relatively slow, and there were naturally many politeness in interacting with people.

Xue Chongxun also felt that this matter was quite nonsense, a few months ago, the two sides also displayed their armies to fight to the death, and Shancheng fell into a situation of cannibalism; Now he is so polite and friendly to them. The war is not fought for righteousness, but for politics. Politics itself is a thing that has nothing to do with good or bad, but in the eyes of most bureaucrats, it may be a tool for power and profit?

"Daxiang is still used to living in Shazhou, right? What about this house and the grassland tent? Xue Chongxun asked kindly. The houses of the hotel are better than the old state government houses, behind an elegant screen is a warm pavilion for resting and sleeping, and there are several tables and chairs outside, all available.

Fu Lu shook his head, which was red from the rush of wine, and hurriedly nodded: "It's okay, it's not bad." ”

Murong Yan said with a smile: "Thanks to the hospitality of the Patriotic Princess, everything is very comfortable, and I stayed here for one night to relieve the fatigue of the journey." ”

"So very good, very good...... Xue Chongxun put down the teacup in his hand, but seeing that Fu Lu was already awake and it was useless to stay longer, he got up and hugged his fists and said, "You guys rest early, it's not easy to visit once, so let's play in Shanzhou for a few more days." It's getting late tonight, so I'm leaving. ”

At this moment, Murong Yan hurriedly said: "Last time I saw you in Tuyuhun, Brother Wang invited Wei Guogong to play chess, but I know that you can only play Go, right?" ”

"Haha, the princess has such a good memory." Xue Chongxun said with a smile, "That's true, at that time, I came to see me as a commoner, and mistakenly thought that I was asked to play Go, so I said that I knew a little bit or two, and I was almost not punished for the crime of bullying the king." ”

Murong Yan smiled and said slowly: "Brother Wang doesn't know how to play Go, I will." Lao Weiguo personally sent it off, and then he left, we don't want to go, why don't we stay and play a game of chess? ”

Her gaze almost never left her, Xue Chongxun already felt a little extraordinary, but he greedily enjoyed this favor, and thought: Although it is a little late, it is just a game of chess, and Fu Lu is present, it is not a big deal.

So Xue Chongxun agreed. There was no shortage of use in the hotel, and soon the servant on duty brought the charcoal fire for heating, and took the Go game and put it on several cases. Fu Lu had been drunk and had not eaten anything before, so he asked someone to make a supper, and then sat in front of the desk to watch chess.

Xue Chongxun found that this Murong clan was worthy of the royal family, a very amorous woman, and she was quite accomplished in the culture of the Han people, not only writing beautiful and timeless characters, but also playing Go. This situation and this scene is very leisurely and elegant, and it is really a "Baoding tea is still green, and the window chess is still cool".

After a while, Xu Gong brought some refreshments for supper, and Fu Lu invited Xue Chongxun to eat together, but Xue Chongxun politely declined and continued to play chess with Murong Yan.

At this time, Murong Yan saw Xue Chongxun's frowns, and when he reached a situation where it was difficult to play, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle, and asked softly, "Does Wei Guogong like to play chess?" ”

Xue Chongxun sighed and said, "It depends on who you go with." ”

"How?" Murong Yan looked at his face with interest.

Xue Chongxun turned his head slightly, looked at the distance of Fu Lu with his peripheral vision, and said softly without moving: "We are all thinking about the same chessboard, and our minds are in the same place...... Can you feel each other's hearts beating together? ”

Murong Yan's cheeks immediately turned red, and she changed her usual graceful and generous demeanor to become very embarrassed. Xue Chongxun was a little confused when she saw this: at first she touched me with her leg and invited me here...... Am I mistaken?

She stood up suddenly, and Xue Chongxun looked up at her face in a daze: "What's wrong?" ”

Murong Yan said with an unnatural expression: "The slave (Xu servant) carried the brazier and baked it, it was a little hot, I went in to change my clothes, and the Duke of Wei Guo spoke to the prime minister first." ”

"Hmm......" Xue Chongxun was a little depressed in his heart. Is this woman enthusiastic and open-minded, or does she know how to be honest? Is it cold, or is it hot?

Fu Lu asked as he chewed, "How is the victory?" ”

Xue Chongxun muttered: "I don't know yet, the princess's chess skills are incomprehensible." ”

Fu Lu said with a smile: "The Murong family admires the style of the Tang Dynasty, and there are many Han people in the royal city......" suddenly slammed!

The door was opened, and one of the guards rudely slammed it open, saying, "There's someone on the roof!" Ladies and gentlemen, get out of here! ”

There was a sudden thud, and a large hole was pierced in the wooden lattice window of the paper watch, and a cold arrow cluster reached in and aimed it at Fulu. Xue Chongxun reached out and touched the saber, and shouted: "It's quite hearty!" ”

In an instant, Xue Chongxun saw that the person outside the window who was pulling the string had no hair on his bare head, and he was a monk. He suddenly remembered the ritual he had heard on the road that day he went to greet the envoy of Tuyuhun, saying that it was a monk invited from outside the city? But he didn't think about it now, and the thought flashed through him.

Fu Lu was so agitated that the wine had completely woken up, and hurriedly lifted the table, and the teacups, cups, plates, and pong pong on it fell to the ground, splashing pieces of fragments. "Nail!" A sharp arrow was nailed to the table, and the feathers on the tail were still accumulating and shaking, and its strength could not be underestimated.

As soon as the assassin attacked, he attacked Fu Lu, probably not for Xue Chongxun...... What did they do to kill Volyus?

The first blow was not successful, buying time for the guards outside the door, and seven or eight Tuyuhun people rushed in quickly, some with bows and arrows to shoot back at the window, and some blocked the guards in front of Fu Lu and Xue Chongxun. Soon the two of them stood together, and let the guards escort them out. Xue Chongxun felt strange again, and actually fought side by side with the former enemy leader......

At this moment, there was a noise on the roof, and everyone hurriedly looked up at it, staring closely at the movement. After a while, the tiles were uncovered, and Xue Chongxun even saw the white moon in the sky through the cracks. Arrows flew one after another, the guards waved their weapons indiscriminately on their heads, but it was of little use, and there were constantly people screaming at arrows, but fortunately, there were many people huddled together, Xue Chongxun and Fu Lu were fine, seeing that the door was getting closer and closer, as long as the gate was out of the open space, the danger was much smaller, and the longer it dragged on, the closer the rescue became.

Xue Chongxun suddenly said: "Your princess is still changing clothes in the warm pavilion!" ”

Fu Lu said: "Let's go out, the assassins are not coming for her. ”

"Wouldn't it be troublesome if you took the princess hostage?" Xue Chongxun said with a white face. At this time, there is no sniper rifle, how to save the hostages? Zhang Wulang's outstretched arm hand that pierces Yang in a hundred steps is not one in a million, and the bow and arrow at this time are not as accurate as a firearm.

Or kill with an arrow...... That's a broken jade.

Fu Lu said in a hurry: "Don't care, go out first, and call someone to come in to rescue you later." ”

"Everyone will die in a moment!" Xue Chongxun hurriedly said, "You guys, hurry up!" ”

But the guards were all Tuyuhun people, and no one listened to Xue Chongxun's orders. At this time, everyone walked under the door frame and got out of the shooting range on the roof, who wants to run to the middle of the house to die?

Xue Chongxun said to Fu Lu: "Daxiang quickly order, tell them to save people!" ”

At this moment, there was a jingle outside the door, and I saw some people wearing black clothes with hats and the guards who rushed over. Some of the hats have fallen off, and you can see bald donkeys being conspicuous in the dim light, which is really a group of monks.

Moreover, this group of monks is as capable of fighting as the Shaolin warrior monks in their impressions, and those Tuyuhun people who fight on horseback are not dominant, and the shape is very critical.

A pair of eyes widened on Fu Lu's panicked face, and he shouted: "Protect me, there will be a heavy reward afterwards!" ”

"What happened?" A panicked female voice attracted Xue Chongxun's attention. I saw that Murong Yan was wrapped in a silk robe and appeared on the side of the screen in disheveled, and her clothes didn't have time to be dressed neatly. There were already several corpses in the room, and there was one who was not dead howling there, which made Murong Yan's expression full of fear.

"Don't come here!" Xue Chongxun let out a loud shout and pointed to the roof.

Seeing this, Murong Yan looked up, and immediately understood the situation, and hurriedly leaned over and said in a trembling voice, "What should I do?" Her graceful bearing was long gone, and she was as helpless as a bird. No matter how noble you are, you will still be exposed in the face of violence.

"Xue Lang, save me......" she begged in panic. A
