Zhao Tianci found that Yuban was also secretly looking at him with a light smile, looking cute and picking, he couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat, and suddenly realized a problem, the women around him were very "presumptuous", did it have something to do with him?

Just as he was thinking about it, a subordinate in a small yellow robe walked in, typed a series and said, "Everyone, please come with me, the emperor summons you!" ”

After turning two corners, they came to the place where Zong Wang and the young emperor Xi were discussing, and when they came in, the young emperor was sitting upright reading a book, and Zong Wang was standing aside with his head down.

"See the emperor!" Zhao Tianci didn't know whether he wanted to kneel or not, so he peeked at the two sisters, and saw that they all knelt down obediently, and they also knelt down, while the twenty guards stood outside the door and did not come in.

Xizong put down the scroll in his hand and asked, "Are you the young son of the White Tartar Tribe?" ”

Zhao Tianci nodded, "Back to the emperor, it is Wan Linggen." ”

Xizong said, "You also know what happened last night, and now the matter of choosing a concubine ......" Before he finished speaking, Zhao Tianci took over the conversation, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to do with the emperor first." ”

Xizong was stunned for a moment, "Okay, you say it first." ”

Zhao Tianci said, "Emperor Qi, this time it is the minister's two cousins, the minister and the two of them are in love, and there is already a husband and wife, but my father forced me to send them over to run for the election, the minister does not want to deceive the emperor, please let the emperor complete, let the two sisters marry me as a wife!" After speaking, he knelt on the ground and waited for Xizong's reply.

Liuli and Yuban were stunned for a moment.

Xizong and Zong Wang glanced at each other, both a little stunned, although they thought that the relationship between these three people was not pure, but it was just speculation, but they didn't expect this person to be Lisuo, and they said it directly.

Xizong was stunned for a moment and then laughed, "Okay! This is a good thing and it should be done. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhao Tianci and Sister Liuli kowtowed at the same time to thank them, and Xizong said, "Get up!" ”

The three of them stood up according to the words, and Xizong said, "Her two sisters are the masters of you, you let them retreat first, I have something to ask you alone." ”

Zhao Tianci said yes, whispered a few words in Liuli and Yuban's ears, and the two of them nodded and bowed out.

Xizong nodded to Zong Wang, and Zong Wangren closed the door, and there were only three people left in the room. Xizong stood up from his seat, bypassed the table and came to Zhao Tianci, "Wan Gongzi, your White Tatar tribe has lived in the south for a long time and has a deep relationship with the local Han people, can your father talk about it, is the peace of the Southern Dynasty true?" ”

Zhao Tianci was shocked in his heart, his vigilance stood up, he bowed and said, "Back to the emperor, my father has never been very concerned about the affairs of the imperial court, so he rarely mentions the affairs of the country in front of me. ”

Xizong was a little disappointed, "So what do you think?" ”

Zhao Tianci thought for a while and said, "The minister thinks that no matter whether the Southern Dynasty is true or false, it is impossible to start a war again in this season. ”

Zong Wang said, "Your Majesty, Prince Wan is not very old, and his knowledge is not small!" ”

Xizong nodded, "Hmm! I was just thinking, this time all the people of the four major tribes were killed, but the White Tatar tribe was spared, this matter is a little strange to think about, you are the weakest of all the tribes, how do you protect yourself? ”

Zhao Tianci's heart moved slightly, the other party was suspicious, and when he was thinking about how to deal with it, there was a report from outside the door, "Your Majesty, the people from the south are back, please see Your Majesty!" ”

"Biography!" Xizong returned to his seat and sat down, and Zhao Tianci took the opportunity to stand aside and stand with his head bowed.

The door opened, the light dimmed, and a tall figure appeared at the door, and walked in quickly, "Chen Yanqing sees my emperor!" ”

Zhao Tianci kept his head down, and only saw a pair of big feet of the person who came, but when he heard him speak, he was startled and raised his head suddenly.

Although the person in front of him was kneeling on the ground, wasn't his body shape the same prodigal son Yan Qing he had ever seen?

Zong Wang's eyes were extremely sharp, and seeing that he reacted differently, he asked, "Master Wan, do you know Yan Qingyan's hero?" ”

Xizong also looked at him, and Zhao Tianci said, "The name of the prodigal son Yan Qing, no one in the world knows, my tribe has been dealing with the Han people all year round, so naturally I have heard more, but I haven't seen Yan Daxia's true face." ”

Xizong said, "Yan Qing's name is indeed not small, even here, it is a well-known hero. He is a powerful assistant under the King of Tianshui County, if I hadn't personally begged the King of County this time, he would never have agreed to Yan Daxia's hard work for me. ”

Zhao Tianci thought to himself, wasn't the King of Shuijun Huizong that day, and Yan Qing was working under him? He remembered that when he first saw him, Yan Qing's purpose in going north was to find Master Li, and it was really a bit chaotic when he thought about it.

At this time, Yan Qing said, "It is Yan Qing's blessing to be able to serve the emperor!" ”

Xizong asked, "Yan Daxia, do you have any latest news over there?" ”

Yan Qing said, "Your Majesty, I went south this time and brought a person back, he is a subordinate of King Song, called Duan Zhiwen. ”

"King Song's men?" Xizong's face moved slightly, "Isn't Zhuozhou destroyed?" It is said that no one survived, and he was by the side of King Song, how could he survive? ”

Yan Qing said, "Please ask the emperor to ask him in person, I don't know the details of this." ”

"Okay, let him come up!" Xizong Dao.

The kung fu was not much, a tall and thin man walked in from the outside, he walked a few steps quickly, fell to his knees with a plop and said loudly, "Duan Zhiwen, the mortal person, long live my emperor!" As he spoke, he knocked his head down and sobbed lowly.

Zhao Tianci is a little familiar with the words "Duan Zhiwen", and when he saw this humanoid figure again, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he remembered that he had seen a soldier and horse division in Wuzhou back then, wasn't it this Duan Zhiwen? Thinking like this, I paid more attention to him, looked at him carefully for a while, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Duan Zhiwen, aren't you serving under King Song? Zhuozhou fell, and all the people had no life to survive, how did you escape? Heejong asked.

Duan Zhiwen didn't raise his head, and said in a mournful voice, "Your Majesty, the people of the Southern Dynasty are insidious and cunning, and when they left the city, they planted countless gunpowder in the city...... It's all buried in the ground! I...... I crawled out of the pile of dead! ”

Xizong snorted and said, "It's just another copy of Yingzhou." Duan Zhiwen, when did you arrive in Shangjing? ”

Duan Zhiwen said, "I had nowhere to go, so I fled all the way north, and I didn't dare to take the big road, so I met Yan Daxia in Wuzhou......"

Before Xizong could speak, Zhao Tianci suddenly asked, "This Lord Duan, how far is it from Zhuozhou to Wuzhou?" ”

Duan Zhiwen didn't expect someone to ask him, raised his head to look at him, and hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Hey...... What a thousand miles! ”

Zhao Tianci said with a smile, "Lord Duan's luck is really good, he was able to return to Shangjing unscathed, not far away." ”

Duan Zhiwen was stunned for a moment, "Your Majesty, I inadvertently got the distribution map of the Southern Dynasty's troops in the sixteen states, so I personally brought it to the emperor regardless of the thousands of miles of work!" ”

Xizong was overjoyed when he heard this, "Present it quickly!" ”

Duan Zhiwen got up and took out a scroll from his bosom and held it in his hand, lowered his head and walked forward, how did he know that Zhao Tianci took a step in front of him, "Lord Duan, why don't you hand it over to me and let me present it to the emperor, how about it?" ”

Duan Zhiwen raised his head and glared at him, "Who are you?" Of course, I have to personally hand over such an important thing to the emperor, and get out of the way quickly! ”

Xizong said, "Master Wan, you step aside first and let him come over." ”

Zhao Tianci glared at Duan Zhiwen and said, "Your Majesty, have you ever heard of the allusion to the poor dagger?" ”

Xizong didn't react, "What did you say?" ”

Duan Zhiwen was taken aback, his face suddenly turned extremely pale, but Yan Qing understood it, and jumped up from the ground, "Lord Duan, what are you holding in your hand?" As he spoke, he reached out and snatched the scroll from his hand.

Duan Zhiwen's face was hideous, he took a step back, and with a pull of the scroll handle with his right hand, a bright sharp knife appeared in his hand, stabbing at Yan Qing suddenly, "You dodge!" ”

Because the distance was too close, Duan Zhiwen's knife stabbed down, and Yan Qing had nowhere to hide, and was right in the left chest. Yan Qing shouted and punched out, but Duan Zhiwen was so dexterous that he abandoned the sharp knife with a successful blow, bowed his body, and turned around from Yan Qing's side.

The incident happened suddenly, neither Xizong nor Zongwang at the bottom of the seat reacted to what was going on, Yan Qing was already injured, and knelt on the ground with one hand on his chest, blood stained his clothes red. And that Duan Zhiwen's eyes were red, and he didn't know when there was another sharp knife in his hand, and he threw himself at Xizong, shouting in his mouth, "You forced the emperor to death, the crime is unforgivable, I will avenge the eldest prince!" ”

Xizong was shocked, he got up in a hurry, the chair fell to the ground, and he also fell to the ground, Duan Zhiwen's slender figure had already rushed closer, brandishing the sharp knife in his hand and stabbing it fiercely.

With a crisp sound, the sharp knife in his hand drew an arc in front of Xizong, and flew into the air, and then saw a figure flashing in front of him, Zhao Tianci kicked out, and Duan Zhiwen chin in the middle, he screamed, his body flew upside down, and he fell down with a bang, and he fainted.

Zhao Tianci put away the soft sword and stretched out his hand to help Xizong up, at this time Zong Wang also reacted, stepped forward and supported Xizong, "Your Majesty, are you okay?" ”

Xizong patted the dust on his body in embarrassment, "It's okay! Wan Gongzi, thank you! ”

Zhao Tianci arched his hand and returned to the next station.

Xizong sat down and took a few deep breaths, "Yan Qing, how is your injury?" ”

Beads of sweat rolled down Yan Qing's forehead, "Your Majesty, I'm ...... It's okay! ”

"Someone!" Xizong called the guards stationed outside in, "Send Yan Daxia back to the Tianshui County Palace, and send this person to the heavenly prison." ”

The guards walked over to help Yan Qing up, and the other person went to Duan Zhiwen's side and looked at him, "Your Majesty, he's dead!" (To be continued.) )
