The scorching sun in the sky radiated a thousand rays of light, the sons and daughters on the ground were sweating heroically, and a masculine roar from the horse's hooves went straight to the sky.

The morale of the generals of the Yulin Army was greatly boosted, and they rushed left and right together with the Xue Chongxun brothers, and the wooden balls broke into the goal again and again, and the atmosphere on the field was extremely warm. The Tubo people were all depressed, and after the fighting spirit was hit, they played even worse, making them panting like cattle and their faces like pig's liver.

A Tibetan man was annoyed and angry, and deliberately rushed into Xue Chongxun from the flank, and after Xue Chongxun avoided it, he scolded very disdainfully: "Stupid! "It's a pity that the Tibetan people don't understand.

Overwhelming superiority, cheering has not stopped. The Tibetan envoys on the stage saw the embarrassment of being one-sided on the field, and in front of the other envoys of Fanbang, their faces were extremely difficult to see.

On the contrary, Princess Taiping smiled almost from ear to ear. Not only was she happy because of the game, but she also felt very happy when she saw that Xue Chongxun had a good relationship with the generals of the Yulin Army on the field. Don't underestimate the juju, the minds of those generals are not as complicated as officialdom, and many times they only do things intuitively, and the cooperative efforts when bowing will make them feel close.

Emperor Li Dan is also a dragon face Dayue, and he said several times: "Xue Lang of my sister's family is really handsome, good!" raised my Tang Guowei, I will definitely reward him in a while. ”

Li Longji on the side was a little depressed, although he also had a smile on his face like everyone else, but after a closer look, his smile was very reluctant. Turning the tide and going out of the limelight, such a scene is so familiar, a few years ago he led four players to defeat the Tubo ten-man team seems to be just yesterday...... But why can't you find a feeling today?

A faint panic hung over Li Longji's heart, and he was afraid that he would slowly lose his sharpness.

At the end of the bow, Datang won a complete victory, the audience cheered, and the Han people present liked the feeling of raising their eyebrows and exhaling themselves, and they were very excited.

Li Dan ordered to summon the participating team members to the stage, and said happily: "Everyone has a reward, Xue Lang has the highest merit, what reward do you want, just say it in front of me." ”

Xue Chongxun raised his head and glanced at Jincheng, only to see that Jincheng was also looking at himself, Jincheng's Gu Panshenghui's eyes were clear and bright, which made people's hearts tremble, she touched Xue Chongxun's gaze, her face was slightly red, and she hurriedly looked away.

I don't know where the courage came from, Xue Chongxun's mind was a little dizzy today because of excessive excitement, and he immediately said loudly: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister said before that he would fight for the princess of Jincheng, and he was really sincere, and he was willing to serve the princess!" The minister did not disgrace Princess Jincheng, and asked the princess to reward. ”

"Ahh The people around were surprised, because this was very ambiguous, and everyone tasted it. When the other princesses and court ladies saw a tall and handsome young man like Xue Chongxun kneeling in front of them to show their hearts, they were both envious and jealous, but thinking of the misery of Princess Jincheng going abroad and kissing, most of the women had no malicious intent, and they all looked at Princess Jincheng with a smile.

The Tibetan envoys over there were already holding their breath in their hearts, and when they heard the words here, they immediately shouted unconvinced: "Princess Jincheng is the fiancée of the Tibetan prince, how can Duke Wei Guo speak like this?" ”

At this time, a minister below said loudly: "Duke Wei is a minister and a prince, he said that he fought for the people of the Tang royal family, what is the rudeness?" I am in the Tang Dynasty, it is a blessing to marry your princess, do you still think that the court treats you poorly? ”

When Xue Chongxun turned his head to look, it turned out to be Yin Li Shouyi of Jingzhao Mansion, this hard stone almost got into action with him at the beginning, and he actually didn't hold a grudge to help himself speak, but after a while, he realized that Li Shouyi was just a public heart, not to help anyone.

At this moment, a Tibetan envoy said coldly: "I, the Tibetan country, control millions of strings, and the marriage between the two countries is to enhance relations. ”

Xue Chongxun's heart suddenly burst into flames, and he glared angrily at the messenger: "How can I have more than a million bloody men in the Tang Dynasty?" It doesn't take a million to deal with you in Tibet, and there are 3,000 iron horsemen, which can make you fearful! Your Majesty, the minister heard that the prince of Tubo had died unexpectedly last year, but Zampo concealed it and did not report it, he wanted to deceive Princess Jincheng and Fan, such untrustworthy people, even if they rewarded the women of our Tang Dynasty, it would be useless! If he refuses to accept it, he is willing to lead his troops to fight for his majesty! ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a lot of discussion around them, and most of the women were upset about Jincheng, and they scolded the Tibetan envoys. Princess Jincheng's face suddenly turned pale, but she still didn't speak, and the sadness in her eyes was distressing.

The Tibetan envoy changed color, hugged his fists and said, "Your Majesty, are you going to start a war against our Tubo?" ”

"Chongxun!" Princess Taiping shouted, "Soldiers, the major affairs of the country." Is that what you should be talking about? The war and the general strategy can only be decided by the emperor and the courtiers after careful deliberation, not by anyone's words! Step down for me! ”

Xue Chongxun's mood calmed down a little at this time, and he himself realized that he had said the wrong thing, and now the infighting in the imperial court has not yet been clear, and it is impossible to tell whether he is dead or alive, and what qualifications do he have to point fingers at major diplomatic matters? But just now I was so angry, people always have impulses.

At this time, I could only hear Li Dan say unhurriedly: "You claim to control the strings of millions, are you threatening me?" Regardless of whether you claim to be millions or tens of millions, if anyone says that Tubo can be stronger than my Tang Dynasty, it is really a big joke! However, Taiping also said just now that the matter of diplomatic relations is a major matter of the country, and it must be handled carefully. ”

Li Dan's words were very decent, neither hurting the general body nor losing face, and the ministers immediately shouted: "Your Majesty is wise!" ”

Li Dan turned his head to look at Xue Chongxun and said, "You were rude just now, but I forgive you for your innocence, and I still want to reward you for winning today...... Jin Cheng, you reward him with something. ”

Xue Chongxun knelt on the ground, his knees couldn't help but move a few steps forward, and he looked at Princess Jincheng with his eyes.

Princess Jincheng looked up at Xue Chongxun, only to see that there was a feeling of pain in his fiery eyes, Jincheng's heart suddenly jumped, and an uncomfortable feeling that seemed to suffocate palpitations surged into her heart, but she felt so uncomfortable...... Very good.

She thought about it, plucked a golden hairpin inlaid with gems from her hair, and handed it to the palace maid next to her. The palace maid walked down with the golden hairpin in both hands and presented it to Xue Chongxun, the palace maid's face was red, and after getting closer, she quietly peeked at Xue Chongxun a few times.

Xue Chongxun took the hairpin with both hands, and there was a sudden agitation on the stage, especially those women, who don't care about your country's affairs, and like to see this kind of childlike thing.

"Thank you, princess, the minister will always take this golden hairpin with me, may it always be by my side, bless me to move forward bravely."

Li Dan said: "Jincheng rewarded you with a golden hairpin, there is no other intention, only to reward your performance on the field today, you have to remember." I am a state of etiquette in the Tang Dynasty, and I must do what I say, and I can't lose my righteousness to other countries first. ”

The envoy of Tubo also has a task in his body, and when he heard Li Dan say this, he no longer fought for the benefit of his tongue, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is wise, may the Tang Dynasty and Tubo always be friends." ”

After watching the game, the scolding battle was over, the emperor left first, and everyone shouted long live, and then everyone dispersed one after another. Wu Erlang couldn't wait to run in front of Xue Chongxun, slapped him on the shoulder with a "snap", and laughed: "Eldest brother, your matter today is really strong, I will obey!" What will you do in the future, call the brothers together, our brothers will join hearts, and their strength will break gold! ”

Xue Chongxun smiled, "What are you talking about, we were originally brothers, and the family doesn't speak two words." ”

"Good!" Wu Erlang slapped Xue Chongxun's shoulder again.

Xue Chongxun stared at his hand very innocently: "Stop shooting!" You've broken the bones. ”

Wu Chongmin also walked up, stretched out his thumb, and said with a smile: "Eldest brother, I will celebrate you tonight." ”

After a while, the generals of the Yulin Army also came up and surrounded Xue Chongxun, asking him to play together. Xue Chongxun responded casually, and especially said to the general who passed the ball: "Chen Dahu, haha, I remember your name." ”

Chen Dahu smiled and hugged his fists as a salute.

When Princess Taiping walked up to the Dragon Tail Road of the Lin De Palace, she glanced back at Xue Chongxun, and saw that he was talking and laughing with his brothers and the generals of the Yulin Army, and Princess Taiping smiled with satisfaction.

After a group of men had spoken, they took their leave and walked up the porch. The general of the Yulin Army walked north, and after separation, the three Xue Chongxun brothers went out all the way.

At this moment, a woman's voice behind shouted, "Duke Weiguo, please stay." When Xue Chongxun and the others looked back, they saw that it was a palace maid.

The palace maid walked up to Xue Chongxun and glanced at the other two people next to her. Xue Chongxun said: "They are all my own brothers, but you have no defense against anything." ”

The palace maid said in a low voice: "Jincheng wants to go to make peace, it is the result of the discussion between His Majesty and the courtiers, there is no way, don't wait for her...... You take this, Your Highness told me to give it to you, and I put it away. After that, he took out a handkerchief, stuffed it into Xue Chongxun's arms, turned around and ran.

The Wu brothers immediately laughed and shouted: "There must be a name embroidered on the handkerchief, show it to us, and make the brothers envious and envious of the eldest brother's Yanfu." ”

Xue Chongxun shook his head and sighed: "It's given by other girls, you can't just touch people, I'll show it to you, don't rob it!" ”

Wu Chongmin said with a smile: "Tsk, the eldest brother is really pretending, and women's things are not uncommon for me to touch." ”

Wu Erlang said: "Big brother, you don't rare women's things, rare men's?" ”

At this time, Xue Chongxun unfolded the handkerchief, and saw two words embroidered on it: Huo Guo.

Wu Chongmin patted his left palm with a fan, pondered for a moment, and said, "I remember, this is the princess of the Twenty-Eight Classics, the biological daughter of today." ”

After hearing this, Xue Chongxun put away the handkerchief, looked back left and right, and said in a deep voice: "I don't have a chance to think about this kind of thing for the time being, the prince's side ......"

So the faces of the two Wu brothers were condensed, and the smiles disappeared, they looked at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little heavy.

The three of them walked silently for a while, and then another palace maid chased after them, Wu Chongmin smiled and said, "What should I give this time?" Wu Erlang and Xue Chongxun both smiled, standing in place and waiting to see what the palace maid was going to say.

The palace maid glanced at Xue Chongxun and said, "I was called by Princess Jincheng, she said that there were too many people in front of the Lin De Hall just now, and it was hard to say anything, so she wanted to send me to bring a message to Lang Jun." Xue Chongxun asked, "What words?" ”

The palace maid said: "Your Highness wants me to take her to say thank you to Lang Jun." ”

Wu Erlang was stunned and said, "Just these two words? It's not too much trouble. Wu Chongxing closed his eyes and muttered for a moment, shook his head and said, "In this situation, these two words are not simple. ”

The palace maid said: "After that, I'll go back." ”

"Wait." Xue Chongxun stopped the palace maid, sighed and said, "When you go back to the courtesy, ask her on my behalf, is it really the ending she wants to be a concubine of Zanbu?" ”
