The day after the proton of Khotan departed, Lu Zijin politely refused the warm offer of the king of Khotan and led the delegation to continue westward.

After Shule and Ningyuan, when I arrived at Kangju, it was already the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month.

The terroir of the Western Regions is very different from that of the Central Plains.

At this time in the capital, it must have been snow pressing the eaves corners, and in front of the plum window, Kangju was much warmer.

It's warmer than the winter in Jiangnan.

However, before living in the capital, she has been traveling all over the world, and there is nothing uncomfortable here, but it is a pity that the box of tea prepared by the apprentice when she left Beijing has bottomed out.

Lu Zijin took a sip of tea and said: "The current Kangju King Womo is not a Kangju person, but a Ningyuan person, Ning Yuan colluded with the Turks to break Kangju, and used Ningyuan Zuohou Womo to steal the Kangju throne, Kangju subjects will not be loyal to Womo, we just need to take down Womo and his cronies!" ”

At this time, they were in a hotel fifty miles away from the capital of Kangju, discussing their next move.

Deng Wei frowned and said: "After all, Womo is the king of Kangju, living in the palace, no more than the Turkic envoys of Khotan live in the palace, the defense level of the two must be different, we only have more than fifty people now, how to break into the palace of Kangju and take Womo?" ”

Kangju and Ningyuan were both under the control of the Turks, and in order to conceal their whereabouts, Lu Zijin asked the large army of Guzang to bypass from the south of Ningyuan Kingdom, and only brought fifty elites to infiltrate the territory of Kangju.

"Don't break in, we're envoys." Lu Zijin said.

Deng Wei's face changed: "There are only fifty of us!" ”

Lu Zijin shook his head: "Fifty people is too much, it will make the other party vigilant, twenty people is enough." ”

Deng Wei was stunned.

Such a thin and weak woman is even fiercer than Chi Changting?

When he was in a daze, Lu Zijin continued to arrange: "...... Tomorrow, the county lord Guo will enter the royal city with this official——"

"No!"

"No!"

The unanimous voice was Deng Wei and Cui Jiu.

Deng Wei didn't pay attention to Cui Jiu, and Gu Zi said angrily: "Just take twenty people, or you two women?" Do you have to pick up the twenty people you bring from the Gu Zang army? ”

The Guzang army is all female soldiers, and even the guards are selected from the Guzang army, so they are all women.

Lu Zijin smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "No, all the women are a little strange, you still have to choose some strong martial arts, but they look weaker, regardless of men and women." ”

Deng Wei was so angry that his face trembled: "Even if you want to make the other party careless, you can't take such a risk!" In case of any accidents, let me explain to Chi Hou! ”

After saying this, the room was eerily silent for a moment.

Lu Zijin smiled and said: "Thank you General Deng Lang for your concern, but when I left Beijing, I didn't come to visit the mountains and rivers in the first place, and I didn't dare to say that I would die in one life, but the sword and sword shadow were inevitable, and as a righteous envoy, I should not hesitate to do so!" ”

Because she is a woman, no matter how awe-inspiring she is, her voice is soft.

It was so soft, but Deng Wei was dumbfounded.

"I'd better go!" Cui Jiu suddenly spoke, "As a deputy envoy, I should not spare this body." ”

Lu Zijin turned his head to look at him, only to feel that his eyes were dark, and he looked a little terrifying, as if he was angry.

What are you angry about?

She didn't bother to think about it, and replied: "Yes, you are the deputy envoy, I am the main envoy, Khotan is not far from Kangju, maybe the king of Kangju already knows that the envoy to the Western Regions this time is a woman." ”

"Angel of the kingdom, worship the lord of the small state? Kangju is a small country, and the deputy envoy is enough! Cui Jiu didn't give an inch.

Lu Zijin was just about to speak, but he was robbed again: "What's more, Lu Envoy has no power to restrain the chicken, there is really a change, but it will not help!" ”

To put it mildly, but everyone here could hear what he really wanted to say was that if something happened, Lu Zijin was a burden.

The room was silent again, silent.

Lu Zijin's expression was faint, and Cui Jiu's eyes were cold.

The four eyes are facing each other, and the saber is tense.

Deng Wei looked at this, looked at that, confused and apprehensive.

Although the Cui family is not a hardcore of the East Palace, he has always been very friendly to the East Palace, and this time the envoy and the deputy envoy are also very harmonious.

Because Lu Zijin brought a box of tea, Cui Jiu often came to beg for tea.

Whenever they talk and laugh about each other's names, he acquiesces that these two have a lot of personal friends.

Why did you suddenly start to have conflicts?

Could it be that something happened when he didn't know it?

He agreed with Cui Jiu in his heart, but the explanation given by Chi Hou was to ask him to help Lu Zijin, which was ......

Who do you help?

Guo Liang didn't hesitate, and directly frowned and put his hand on the hilt.

She was ordered by the prince to protect Lu Zijin, so she naturally stood on Lu Zijin's side unconditionally, and whoever was disobedient would be tied up, so she was not interested in convincing people.

The remaining Yao Wenju had no friendship with either side, and he knew that people were soft-spoken, so he quietly retreated half a step back to watch from the wall.

Just when everyone thought that there would be a fight before the deputy envoy, Lu Zijin suddenly smiled and nodded: "What Deputy Envoy Cui said is extremely true!" ”

Even Cui Jiu was stunned.

Lu Zijin said with a smile: "Although this official is a righteous envoy, once he uses force, he will drag others down. ”

Cui Jiu's face changed: "I-"

"Then please ask Deputy Envoy Cui to go on this trip on behalf of the official!"

Cui Jiu was dumbfounded, at a loss for a while.

When I heard her bold plan just now, I was angry and spoke a little rushed, but when I heard her say the word "drag", I panicked.

Originally, I wanted to round it up, but ...... That's agreed?

Why do you think it's weird?

Cui Jiu looked at her suspiciously.

Lu Zijin smiled slightly and said, "Tomorrow, I will ask Deputy Envoy Cui to see Womo as an official!" ”

"Poof—"

Deng Wei couldn't hold back, and his saliva squirted out.

Guo Liang and Yao Wenju also couldn't help but smile and bow their heads.

Cui Jiu's handsome face turned from red to blue, and then from green to red.

After Lu Zijin saw enough, he smiled and said: "This is also for the overall situation, it is always women who can make people let down their guard, if Deputy Envoy Cui is unwilling, he doesn't have to be reluctant-"

"Yes!" Cui Jiu's face has returned to normal, "Since it's for the overall situation, it's okay!" ”

Lu Zijin looked at him for a while, and his smile deepened: "Deputy Envoy Cui is righteous!" ”

Cui Jiu's face flushed slightly, and his eyes were a little hot when he looked at her, as if he wanted more praise.

Lu Zijin was thinking about whether to praise more, when Deng Wei suddenly slapped his thigh: "Yes!" Big husband is informal! I'll pretend to be the county lord of Guo! ”

……

Deng Wei's proposal was rejected by all members.

Although it is also rumored that the county lord of Guzang is eight feet tall, with a belt of ten girths, and a voice that is louder than that of a man, it is a bit too thick to the level of Deng Wei.

Cui Jiu is different, he hasn't changed into women's clothes, he just untied the man's bun, and his black hair hung down his shoulders, making him a little beautiful and difficult to distinguish between male and female.

When the maid groomed him, his face was calm, but his eyes were awkward.

Lu Zijin suddenly sighed with emotion, and said: "Nowadays, there are many women wearing men's clothes, and few people feel that it is inappropriate, and they will even praise their heroic posture, or women will not let them shave their eyebrows, but if you want a man to pretend to be a woman, the statement is different——"

Even if there is a reason, men will still feel humiliated.

But when he proposed to Li Yan to disguise himself, Li Yan agreed without much hesitation, just doing ordinary things and ignoring them.

However, there are really not many men who can do this kind of thing.

"Disguise is just a means, Deputy Envoy Cui doesn't have to care too much, this official has this proposal, and it is not a joke." Lu Zijin said softly.

Cui Jiu looked at her from the mirror, his face was faintly red, and he said in a low voice: "Before, I ...... It's all angry words, offending ......"

Lu Zijin shook his head and smiled: "What Deputy Envoy Cui said is the truth, why offend?" "She really didn't take it to heart.

Cui Jiu was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked, "If I don't go back, what will happen to you?" ”

Lu Zijin thought for a while and said, "I will collect the corpse for you—"
