In the afternoon of the same day, King Nie Er personally held a banquet to entertain Huang Xue.

On the banquet, Huang Xue found a unique custom in Nie Erguo, since the beginning of the banquet, several musicians entered the center of the banquet and played various musical instruments for everyone.

The music they played, however, was a little different from the music of the great merchants, soft and soft, as if there was nothing in it, which made people sound extremely comfortable, but it did not feel chaotic at all, and it would not affect the conversation of the people, just like the music that was constantly playing in some high-end restaurants in the previous life.

Being able to enjoy such a dining environment in this era also made Huang Xue feel very novel, so she asked Gao Liu on the side in a low voice.

Gao Liu told Huang Xue that the Nie Er people love music the most because of their hearing, and both in the palace and the folk are to take this kind of soft music as the highest enjoyment, and musicians are also the most popular profession among the Nie Er people.

When Huang Xue heard this, she suddenly remembered the jade pipa that was still waiting for the continuation of the strings in her consciousness, so she hurriedly said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, I wonder if it is possible to find a musician who can continue the strings of the pipa?"

Gao Liu smiled: "What are these words, the musical instrument made by our Nie Er people is the most exquisite." I can't imagine that Miss Huang is also a person who is proficient in music and rhythm, but what is the damage to her beloved pipa?"

Huang Xue hurriedly said: "That's right, and I bother His Highness to arrange it." ”

Takayanagi nodded and said, "It's just a trivial matter, I'll arrange the best musician for you later." ”

When Huang Xue heard this, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, if she could solve the problem of the pipa here, she would be worthy of Yu'er and Ao Bing.

After the banquet, Gao Liu brought a musician to find Huang Xue, but it was one of the musicians who played for them at today's banquet, a woman from the Nie Er tribe in her forties, and introduced to Huang Xue: "Miss Huang, this is the first musician in my country. ”

Huang Xue was overjoyed, thanked Gao Liu, carried the two of them, took out the jade pipa that was entwined by dragon tendons, and sent it to the master of Xiangyin.

Gao Liu looked Huang Xue up and down curiously, as if he couldn't understand where Huang Xue hid such a big pipa, but Huang Xue didn't say anything, he only thought it was Huang Xue's racial ability, and didn't ask much.

When the master saw the jade pipa, his eyes immediately lit up, and he took the pipa and said, "Miss Huang, I don't know what material this thing is made of, it is so exquisite?"

Huang Xue had already prepared for this, and didn't want to have more branches, so she replied: "This thing is a kind of jade on the mainland, in fact, it is not rare, it may be that this jade is not produced on Lingyan Island, and the master has never seen it." ”

The master of Xiangyin nodded, and focused his attention on the dragon tendon again, and said strangely: "Is Miss Huang going to use this thing to make strings? This seems to be the main tendon of a sea beast, and the timbre of the strings will be clearer, it is really the best, Miss Huang is really good eyesight, I don't know where she got this thing?"

Huang Xue frowned, it was really hard to say much about this dragon tendon thing, so she said perfunctorily: "This thing was given by a friend of mine." Master Xiang, I wonder if you can continue the strings of this lute well?"

The master of Xiangyin looked up and down at the pipa and the dragon tendon again, nodded and said: "Miss Huang, don't worry, I heard His Royal Highness the Third Prince say that you are the great benefactor of my Nie Er clan, and I will definitely repair this pipa to make it better than before." ”

Huang Xue hurriedly said: "So thank the master, I don't know how long it will take the master?"

Xiangyin thought for a while and said: "It may take more than ten days to make the strings, and it only takes one or two days to install the strings. ”

When Huang Xue heard this, she immediately frowned again, half a month, this time has exceeded her expectations. And the jade pipa is a good magic weapon after all, so it is a little uneasy to throw it to others for repair after all.

Just when she was having a hard time making a choice, Yu'er's voice suddenly sounded in her mind: "Huang Xue, don't worry, you and I have established a connection, and we will feel something, and let her do it." ”

Huang Xue realized something, so he nodded and said: "In this way, there will be Master Lao, but I don't know if the master can speed up a little, half a month is a bit long after all, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait so long and have to leave." ”

The master of Xiangyin said in embarrassment: "The time for the strings to be nitrated is insufficient, I am afraid that it will affect the timbre of the pipa, and the time of more than ten days is probably the shortest." ”

Seeing this, Takayanagi on the side interjected: "Although Miss Huang can rest assured, she will take care of other things by herself, and I will wait in the palace, and when Master Xiang repairs the pipa, I will personally deliver it to the girl." ”

Although Huang Xue still felt that the time was a little long, she was unwilling to spoil Ao Bing's good dragon tendon for a little time, so she had to agree, and saluted: "In that case, thank you to His Royal Highness the Prince and Master Xiang." ”

Gao Yanagi smiled: "A little thing, why worry about it." ”

Huang Xue handed over the pipa to Master Xiang to take away, and then rested in the palace of King Nie Er for another day, and then King Nie Er sent someone back to Lingyan Village, she also had to go to Shenmu Country to lobby, so naturally there was not so much time to delay.

When she returned to Lingyan Village, she saw Long Xuhu and Wu Ze, and saw that both of them were intact, and she was relieved.

Wu Ze's injuries were no longer serious, and he told Huang Xue that he could take her away from Lingyan Island at any time if needed.

Out of nowhere, the dragon bearded tiger got a big slingshot of the kind used by the Nie Er and the Deep Eye, and he had a lot of fun every day, but he was not in a hurry to leave at all.

Huang Xue was a little curious about this big slingshot, so she borrowed it and watched it. This slingshot is very exquisite, it is really not an ordinary thing, and when I asked, it turned out to be a treasure hidden by Gao Ming, and it was given to the dragon beard tiger. This slingshot is a bow made of animal bones, and the bowstring is also a kind of fascia that can't be seen.

When returning the slingshot to Long Xuhu, she also repeatedly told Long Xuhu to be careful, not to miss and hurt people.

After a little explanation again, she set off again, and followed the eye peach to the country of deep eyes, and went to see the king of deep eyes.

Along the way, it was basically the same as the situation in Nie Erguo, and nothing special happened. Huang Xue and Eye Tao are both women, and it is much easier to speak, so Huang Xue took the opportunity to inquire about the water tiger from Eye Tao.

Jing Tao knew a lot about this matter, and she told Huang Xue that it was a thousand years ago that the ancestors of the Nie Er and Shenmu clans relied on force to suppress the Water Tiger Clan, and forced the Water Tiger Clan to make an oath not to hurt anyone.

Huang Xue was overjoyed when she heard this, and asked, "Your Royal Highness Princess, in this way, the Water Tiger Clan is still a little afraid of your two clans?"

Jing Tao smiled: "That's natural, the Water Tiger clan has always dared not approach within thirty miles of Lingyan Island. ”

Huang Xue hurriedly said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, the Water Tiger Clan is now chasing me and coming to the outside of the island, I am afraid that when I leave Lingyan Island, they will still embarrass me, is there a way for Your Highness to protect me from leaving safely?"

Jing Tao thought for a moment and sighed: "A thousand years ago, the ancestors of our two clans relied on the help of the Spirit Turtle Seal to hunt down to the Water Tiger Island and suppress the Water Tiger Clan. Now that the spirit turtle mark has been lost, and the two countries are not very harmonious, I am afraid that they will not be able to help them for a while. You just saved someone from the hands of the water tiger, presumably they will give up after chasing them to Lingyan Island, you shouldn't still be guarding outside, and you don't have to be afraid. When it fails, I beg my father to send troops to escort you out of the island, so that you can be safe. ”

When Huang Xue heard this, she moved her lips, and she was going to tell her that she had killed the second son of the other party's patriarch, but after thinking about it again, she was helpless to tell them, but one more person was worried in vain, so she swallowed the words back, for the sake of today, she could only take one step at a time.

The process of convincing King Shenmu is much more difficult than King Nie Er, Gao Liu is right, King Shenmu's personality is more axial. But fortunately, Huang Xue's conversation skills learned from the previous life came in handy, and after some intimidation, she finally persuaded King Shenmu to agree to have a friendly negotiation with King Nie Er.

Seven days later, King Nie Er and King Shenmu met in Lingyan Village, and after more than an hour of negotiations, the two finally reached an armistice, agreeing to jointly send envoys to the western continent in search of national treasures.

The big thing has been decided, and everyone breathes a sigh of relief, but it is difficult for the two kings to reach a consensus on the choice of the envoy to be sent.

According to the plan, both countries naturally need to send envoys to act together. Naturally, the envoys of this mission must be people with high enough status and strong ability in the two countries to complete the task. Of course, there must also be a certain amount of force, otherwise the road to the west will be a long way, I don't know what dangers will be encountered, and whether the envoy can reach the Great Shang Capital safely will become a problem, and naturally there will be no task.

So the problem is, the two countries have fought a war for more than ten years, and people who can write and martial arts have long been enemies on the battlefield, and it is a little difficult to let them go to the mainland together and cooperate sincerely.

In the end, it was Takayanagi Mao who recommended himself and was willing to go with Jing Tao, they are people from the royal families of the two countries, their status is high enough, their ability is also obvious to all, and there will be no internal strife, which is really the most suitable.

Such a result was naturally acceptable to both countries, and the two kings made a decision on the spot, and Takayanagi and his wife selected 100 elite soldiers from each country to accompany Huang Xue to the western continent.

Huang Xue was also quite satisfied with this result, with the company of two hundred soldiers from the two countries, I was afraid that the Water Tiger clan would not dare to embarrass her.

Everyone had made up their minds, so they discussed that Takayanagi and Jingtao would each return to China to select elite soldiers, and five days later they would come to Lingyan Village to join Huang Xue and go to the mainland together.

In the next five days, Huang Xue waited in Lingyan Village with peace of mind, sometimes practicing, sometimes playing with the dragon and tiger, sometimes going to the beach to visit Wuze, and sometimes chatting with Gao Ming and Gao Jue brothers, and the life was not boring.

She learned from the brothers Gao Ming and Gao Jue that their brothers were also preparing to go to the mainland together. The reason is also very simple, this time to the west, everyone knows that the task is difficult, and it is difficult to say whether they can come back in ten or eight years, but the Takayanagi couple are already over forty years old, and such an age is no longer young in this era, and they are also afraid that they will unfortunately die in a foreign land, and the matter of asking for treasures will be gone.

Therefore, as soon as the Takayanagi couple discussed, they decided to bring the Gao Ming brothers with them, and they could inherit their parents' legacy.

From this, it can be seen how resolute the will of the Takayanagi couple to retrieve the treasure is, which is to show the spirit of Yugong to move mountains, and prepare for the infinite shortage of children and grandchildren.
