Wanyan Chixiong turned his head and looked at the beautiful man in front of him who was like a crown of jade, with sharp eyebrows, the seventh prince Xue Daoming not only had outstanding appearance, but also both civil and military, and was deeply favored by his father.

Xue Daoming gave people the impression of being gentle and elegant, humble and gentlemanly, gentle as jade, and saluted with his fists: "Brother Wanyan has been waiting for a long time." ”

Wanyan Chixiong laughed and said, "It's because I'm early!" ”

Xue Daoming came to his side and stood, looked into the distance, and said in a low voice, "What is the matter with Brother Wanyan looking for me?" ”

Wanyan Chixiong chose to meet here, obviously to avoid people's eyes, although they have met several times, but they do not have too deep friendship. This time, Wanyan Chixiong visited Dayong, and he was also accompanied by the eldest emperor's brother, and Xue Daoming had not met him alone.

Wanyan Chixiong handed Xue Daoming a painting, Xue Daoming slowly unfolded it, but saw a beautiful woman of different races painted on the picture scroll, with picturesque eyebrows, skin better than snow, fluttering clothes, a pair of jade feet without shoes and socks, and delicate toes like petals.

Wanyan Chixiong said: "This is my youngest sister-in-law, Sima, and the most beautiful girl among the three hundred and seventy-two tribes on both sides of our Manborjin River. ”

Xue Daoming laughed

Wanyan Chixiong said: "Originally, I came here this time to say goodbye to my sister, but I didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince had already decided on a family matter, which is a pity." ”

Xue Daoming smiled and said: "Thank you Brother Wanyan for your kindness, but you still have to obey the arrangements of your parents for major marriage matters." Whenever I think of this, I can't help but feel a wave of melancholy in my heart.

Wanyan Chixiong said: "I heard that the bride you want to marry is Princess Anping of Dakang?" ”

Xue Daoming nodded, this matter is known to the world.

Wanyan Chixiong said: "Isn't Dayong going south? ”

Xue Daoming laughed: "I don't even know where the news of Brother Wanyan came from. Where did you get that? "Although my father did not explicitly say that he would use troops against Dakang, what he is doing now is obviously preparing for the attack on Dakang, otherwise why would he put down his body and negotiate peace with Heihu, a vicious neighbor who has been hated for generations? Because of this, Xue Daoming didn't understand his father's intention to marry Princess Anping, once the war between the two countries broke out, he would be the commander of the navy. The naval army under his command will inevitably become the main force to cross the Yongjiang River to attack the northern part of Dakang, and how should he face Princess Anping, who has become his wife, when the time comes?

Wanyan Chixiong said: "I just don't understand, why did the emperor of your country let his son marry a princess who was about to die?" There may be some benefits for Dayong, but there is no benefit to His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince! ”

Xue Daoming said vigilantly: "What does Brother Wanyan want to say?" ”

Wanyan Chixiong said: "Before I came, my father Khan entrusted me to propose marriage to the four princes, and only after I came did I know that the four princes already belonged to each other, and I didn't say anything about it." ”

Xue Daoming's heart fluctuated for a while, for him, this marriage with Dakang did not have any benefits, no matter what Princess Anping's talent was. She is just an outdated princess in Dakang, not to mention that Dakang will not be too long away from the day of death. If the country is gone, how can there be any princess? Xue Daoming has been determined to stand out among his brothers and sisters since he was a child, and the efforts and hardships he has put in are also the greatest among all, the reason why he has not married a wife so far is that he wants to get a strong backer and help through this opportunity, and lay a solid foundation for his future competition for the throne, but his father's decision made his plan ruined. Xue Daoming knew that there were complex reasons behind this, and the queen played a key role. She did everything she could to prevent her strength from increasing, lest he one day jeopardize the position of the eldest prince Xue Daohong.

The portrait of this beautiful woman taken out by Wanyan Chixiong is indeed moving, but what really moved Xue Daoming was not Sima 's appearance, but her identity and status, a strong black beard, and a declining Dakang. Even a fool knows how to choose.

Xue Daoming said in a low voice: "Did Brother Wanyan mention it to my father?" ”

A smile appeared on the corner of Wanyan Chixiong's lips, Xue Daoming's words fully exposed his thoughts, the rumors were true, Xue Daoming was really dissatisfied with this marriage, Wanyan Chixiong said: "No!" Now this is the situation. How can I say it? My sister can't be so aggrieved that she is a concubine for someone else! ”

Xue Daoming said: "Can this portrait be left with me first?" ”

Wanyan Chixiong nodded and said, "Originally, it was intended to be given to the fourth prince. ”

In the Yasukuni Mansion, Li Shenzhou and the eldest prince Xue Daohong sat opposite each other, the outcome of the chess game in front of them had been decided, Xue Daohong smiled and said: "Shenzhou, Shenzhou, when can you let me win a game?" ”

Li Shenzhou smiled and said: "Your Highness is not unable to win, but your ambition is not here, what I see is only the game of chess in front of me, so I focus, but Your Highness cares about the world!" ”

Xue Daohong shook his head with a smile, took a sip of tea from the teacup, and said softly: "Tomorrow is the day of the duel between Qiu Mubai and Hu Xiaotian." ”

Li Shenzhou said: "What does Your Highness think? ”

Xue Daohong smiled: "I'm an outsider, and my opinion doesn't matter. ”

Li Shenzhou said: "I just received the news that the Seventh Prince went to the Star Picking Tower tonight to meet Wanyan Chixiong. ”

"Oh?" Xue Daohong's two sword eyebrows furrowed, he thought about it and stood up, slowly walked to the window, staring at the night moon outside the window, the expression on his face was cloudy: "What did you say?" ”

Li Shenzhou said: "Wanyan Chixiong gave the Seventh Prince a portrait. ”

Xue Daohong nodded, did not continue to ask, raised his head and looked at the bright moon again, and looked at it for a while before saying, "Who do you think they will win tomorrow?" ”

Li Shenzhou said: "There should be no suspense about Qiu Mubai's victory in martial arts, but I have an intuition that Hu Xiaotian may not lose." ”

Xue Daohong turned around and looked at Li Shenzhou a little strangely, this sentence was really a bit contradictory.

Li Shenzhou himself laughed: "Since the day I met Hu Xiaotian, he has been constantly creating miracles, turning evil into good fortune again and again, and reversing fate again and again. ”

Xue Daohong said with emotion: "Yes, even I can't figure out how he used to catch up with my imperial uncles and aunts, and now even the Queen Mother is full of praise for him." ”

Li Shenzhou said: "Maybe tomorrow's turning point will be within the royal family." ”

Xue Daohong said: "You mean, someone from our royal family will help him?" I have already guessed in my heart who the person Li Shenzhou is talking about, Hu Xiaotian has recently made friends with his uncle Yanwang Xue Shengjing, and the two actually worship as brothers with different surnames, which has been rumored to be a joke in Yongdu City.

Li Shenzhou said: "It's just my feelings, there is no basis." ”

Xue Daohong returned to his side and sat down: "Concubine Shu is extremely dissatisfied with this marriage, and has made trouble countless times in front of my father and emperor, although Lao Qi doesn't say it, I know that he must be reluctant in his heart." ”

Li Shenzhou sighed in his heart, the royal marriage is not simple, it is not just a matter of two people, but a person's future future and destiny. Although he and Xue Daohong had a good relationship, they were still a little sensitive about the emperor's family affairs, and Li Shenzhou did not say it.

Xue Daohong said: "Even I didn't expect Qiu Mubai to propose a duel to Hu Xiaotian. ”

Li Shenzhou said: "He and Hu Xiaotian didn't have any festivals before. ”

Xue Daohong nodded: "Someone should have made an article behind it, and there is a master behind this duel." ”

Li Shenzhou and Xue Daohong handed over a comprehension look, and a name Dong Bingtai emerged in their hearts at the same time, the elder brother of this concubine, the Shangshu of the Dayong Ministry and Qiu Xianguang, the master of the Sword Palace, had a relationship with each other, Qiu Mubai proposed a duel to the history of Dakang's marriage, and Qiu Xianguang, who was the master of the Sword Palace, has not expressed his attitude so far, which is equivalent to some kind of acquiescence of Cheng Dù. It should be the Dong family in the layout, and what they are inconvenient to do, the Sword Palace will take action on their behalf.

Li Shenzhou said: "I heard a news that Qiu Mubai has made up his mind to kill Hu Xiaotian. ”

Xue Daohong sneered: "Hu Xiaotian was brought out of the palace by Princess Anping, and the two have a deep relationship, if he dies, Princess Anping will definitely be in pain." ”

Li Shenzhou said: "There are still a few days before the wedding, and I don't know what variables there will be." ”

Xue Daohong said in a low voice: "You mean they even dare to kill Princess Anping?" ”

Li Shenzhou said: "I don't know what they do, but one thing I can conclude is that if Princess Anping dies, everyone in the world will suspect the head of Concubine Shu's mother and son." His Majesty is most disgusted by unscrupulous means for the sake of the throne, if he thinks so......"

Xue Daohong laughed, stretched out his hand and patted Li Shenzhou's shoulder: "It's really my great luck to have Qing's help!" Fortunately, Li Shenzhou is standing by his side, if he supports his seventh brother, Xue Daohong felt a chill in his heart, if that is really the case, I am afraid that his hope of ascending to the throne will come to naught.

Li Shenzhou said: "Heihu has killed so many warriors, he will definitely not give up, and he should continue to investigate." ”

Xue Daohong frowned and said, "This matter is really a little strange, could it be that there is something wrong in the middle?" They didn't even point the finger at the Sword Palace? ”

Li Shenzhou said with a smile: "Your Highness doesn't have to be in a hurry, the Sword Palace is willing to charge for the Dong family, but they can't see the situation clearly, if Hu Xiaotian has any trouble, His Majesty will not sit idly by, as long as he is willing to investigate, he will not worry about finding out who is behind it." The matter is not afraid of making a big fuss, and when the Dong family is in a hurry, the reasons why the black-bearded warriors were killed one after another will be made public, and then it will be up to them to see how they deal with it. ”
