"It's nature, it's nature." Ke Tuyu knew in his heart: It is precisely because this is a national event, if what you Helan Chu said doesn't count, who else will say it? Could it be the little empress who just ascended the throne? Or the dead emperor who was already asleep in a coffin in his fledgling? The master in front of me has a long face since I entered the door, although I have long heard that he is not smiling, but this wealth is not moved, and it is too difficult to serve, could it be that I have something to offend?

"The ambassador has a heart, and I understand it. However, for major national affairs, this seat can only deal with it impartially, and does not dare to give it to each other privately. It's not early, so I'm sorry for the inconvenience of accompanying us. After Helan Chu finished speaking, he got up, walked into the screen behind him, and led to the inner hall.

If someone else said this, Ke Tuyu would dare to insist on it with his three-inch tongue, but the awe-inspiring momentum of Helan Chu in front of him made him have the slightest sense of disobedience. Although he touched a gray nose, he still had to get up with a smile on his face to send him off, and after saying goodbye to Xiahou Yuan, who had casually said a few kind words, he asked people to carry the box away and bring the beauty back.

After sending Ke Tuyu away, Xiahou Yuan also transferred to the inner hall. I saw Helan Chu standing in front of the window with his hands behind his back that could see the lake in the courtyard. A few maids hung their hands and served.

Xiahou Yuan walked in in a hurry, as if the sultry he had just now had not subsided, "Go to his Ke Tuyu's big ......"

He just wanted to scold, but suddenly realized his rudeness and hurriedly kept silent.

Helan Chu didn't look back, but said lightly: "You all retreat." The maids in the house agreed in unison, and then bowed out of the inner hall.

Xiahou Yuan and the other maids all retreated, and then walked behind Helan Chu, and said calmly: "Taishi......"

"Since the founding of the Western Han Dynasty, emperors in all dynasties of the Central Plains have sent princesses to foreign lands and relatives." Helan Chu interrupted Xiahou Yuan, turned around, and said calmly: "Han Gaozu took the daughter of the clan as the eldest princess and gave it to Xiongnu Shan Yu as his wife; The world-renowned Hun Huhan Evil Shan Yu Zhaojun, the king of the Yan clan, is just a draft girl; To this day, there has never been a real princess who has married far from a foreign land. This is still the case in those times when foreign forces are strong and arrogant, not to mention that as far as this seat knows, in recent years, the Ashina clan is actually not as strong as in the early years, and there are serious internal divisions. In this way, it is even more impossible for our dynasty to make peace with the true princess, even if Ke Tuyu came ten or twenty days earlier, it would not be possible to do what Lord Xiahou wanted. ”

Hearing this, the anger that burst out in Xiahou Yuan's heart was suddenly poured with cold water, but although the fire was extinguished, his heart was even more panicked. In fact, even if he can't quote scriptures like Taishi, he probably understands this truth in his heart, just looking at the relationship between Helan Ying's brother and sister is so good, he knows that the emperor is determined that he will not let his sister marry far away. All kinds of unhappiness in his heart hit him, and he didn't dare to show it too much in front of Helan Chu, who was expected to be in a bad mood today, so he could only stride to the side and sit down on the couch, hanging his head and sighing in his heart.

However, it didn't take long for Helan Chu's words to make Xiahou Yuan straighten up and prick up his ears.

"However, Ke Tuyu came at the right time at this time."

Helan Chu's magnetic voice is as meaningful as the lingering aftertaste of the strings. He looked into the distance, his eyes as cold and miserable as the moonlight outside the window.

The midnight sky was illuminated by the light of a hunting fire, and there was almost no bloodstained gap on the ground that was not stained with blood.

Zuo Ying woke up in a haze, a dazzling firelight made her barely open her eyes, the sound of people and horses running vibrated her ears on the ground, and the heart-rending shouts and the screeching sound of weapons clashing suddenly drilled into her cochlea.

She jerked up from the ground, and found herself sitting in a tent with only a corner left, and the temperature around her was as hot as sitting next to a fire. The raging fire on the destroyed fence and the soldiers wielding bloody broadswords were all within ten meters of her. From time to time, some arrow-carrying arrows and flaming arrows also landed near and far from her, stabbing the centaurs, or causing another flash of fire in an instant.

She looked around and stood up, and suddenly realized that her height seemed to be a little wrong, and everything around her was much taller for no reason. She looked down at her hands stretched out from their long sleeves, which were actually a pair of small and immature hands that only a child of four or five years old had!

Before she could be surprised, something gurgled and rolled to her feet, and when she looked closely, it was a bloody human head still wearing armor, and there was a bloodstained trail on the ground!

At this time, she suddenly felt something shaking beside her, so she quickly looked up, only to see a person covered in blood who couldn't even recognize her facial features rushing towards her, just within her reach!

Zuo Ying hurriedly retreated and flashed, and the man fell to his feet, the blood stained all the yellow sand on the ground red, and one arm was gone, still struggling and moaning, the scene was unbearable.

"That's her! Catch her! At this moment, a loud shout stood out from the noisy sounds around her, attracting Zuo Ying's attention, and she saw several tall and fierce figures running towards her from not far away.

The men, all dressed in armor and holding sharp blades in their hands, came to her in the blink of an eye. The person running in front of her grabbed her violently with a pair of big hands and bowed at the same time, as if to stop her by the waist and carry her!

Zuo Ying came to her senses completely.

She didn't wait for the murderer to touch her, and she instinctively flew up with her kick, and kicked the throat of the big man who happened to bend down! The big man who thought that there was a lamb to be slaughtered in front of him was coldly beaten so accurately and ruthlessly, and even a miserable scream was stuck in his throat by the broken trachea, and he flew out two meters on his back, slamming into the body of the person who was following him closely, and struggled in pain a few times before he stopped moving.

The big man who was smashed by his accomplices was about to turn over, only to feel a dazzling silver light in front of him, and it was too late to raise his knife to block it, and his eyes were already full of his own scarlet blood.

Holding the steel knife that had just been picked up from the ground, Zuo Ying stepped on the corpses of the two people stacked on the ground, kicked his feet and slashed in the air, and the head of one of the people who caught up immediately fell to the ground......

In the blazing firelight, the silver glow of the steel knife and the blazing red curve of blood splashed in the air bloomed a strange magnificence in Zuo Ying's hand.

When she stopped, Zuo Ying's front was already stained with the blood of the enemy, and her face was also mottled with blood, but what was more chilling than the blood on her body and knife was the smile on the corner of her mouth at the moment.
