Chapter 72 (II) Showing the prestige of the country
The team slowly returned to the palace, but there was a small tail behind him, it was the twenty-person delegation brought by Shi Glory, the envoy of the Great Qi Dynasty, Shi Glory was capable, not like those Confucian envoys who were crepe, always giving people a cold sense of oppression, it seems that Sima Rui sent Shi Glory this time, and the purpose was very deep.
"What do you think of this stone glory's kung fu?" Leng Changxi dismounted, and just as he was staggering, he asked Leng Wu in a low voice.
Leng Wu thought for a while, and replied: "The light skill is good, and the long knife makes it superb, but compared with the general, it is still a big difference, and over time, it may not be able to catch up with the current level of the general." ”
"That's right," Leng Changxi's judgment was exactly the same as Leng Wu's, "A person whose martial arts are far inferior to mine, why would he react to the poison dart almost at the same time as me?" And he's farther away than me, which means that his reflexes and speed are still above mine, which doesn't match our judgment just now, and I only knew that someone was going to assassinate because of a warm reminder, so what about him? ”
"What do you mean?"
Leng Changxi shook his head and continued: "And those five assassins are too incompetent, as a professional assassin, first, they will definitely choose an appropriate time, now that there is a rebellion in the Yellow Banner military camp, the emperor's army will definitely be strictly guarded, and choose to start at this time, ridiculous and ignorant, second, as an assassin, once captured, he will definitely die to keep his secret, but these assassins were almost easily captured, and they casually let people turn out Beidi's token, this kind of thing that shows identity, Shouldn't it be deliberately hidden when you do it? Leng Changxi pursed his lips and glanced at Qin Yunuan, "Third, it is that murderous aura, but I didn't notice the murderous aura that Nuan Nuan felt, on the one hand, Nuan Nuan's sense of smell was indeed unexpected, but on the other hand, it also meant that these five assassins didn't want to kill Jing Donghua at all, or rather, their purpose was not Jing Donghua at all. ”
"Could it be that these five people have set the wrong goal?" Leng Wu touched his head, this is also ridiculous.
"No, these five assassins don't want to kill people at all" Leng Changxi had already made a judgment in his heart, "They are just cannon fodder, third-rate skills, and unpopular action plans, they were simply deliberately arrested, in order to let the emperor relax his vigilance against Shi Rongrong, and more importantly, provoked the relationship between Xixia and Beidi, which was already walking on thin ice, and now, the contradiction between Xixia and Daqi before became the contradiction between Xixia and Beidi, but it took the lives of five third-rate masters to get such a good result, Sima Rui had some ideas. ”
"Then we have to inform the emperor as soon as possible;
。 Leng Wu said anxiously.
Leng Changxi lowered his voice, and glanced around casually, surrounded by his own people, Qin Yunuan and Man'er Tingxue and others were protecting him, and on the other side, the eunuch in front of the palace in the Xixia Palace was courteously welcoming the twenty-person Great Qi delegation into the palace, as if luring a wolf into the room, which made Leng Wu frown.
"Don't worry, the emperor must have seen the trick of this stone glory." Leng Changxi's brows stretched slightly, "Since ancient times, the envoy should be sent to the palace, logically speaking, the envoy should be welcomed into the palace first, and then the entire mission, and the emperor is anxious to invite the envoy into the palace at one time, in Shi Rongrong's view, he will definitely think that the emperor has been tricked, and he is anxious to discuss the matter between Xixia and Beidi, but in fact, the emperor wants to catch it all." ”
"Really?" Qin Yunuan stepped forward and looked at the members of the Great Qi Mission who were all capable and sharp in the distance pacing cautiously along the palace road, and seemed to feel that these people were all brewing some big conspiracy in their hearts, and the eunuch in front of the palace was so flattering, as if he was inviting his ancestors, and that face would only be so flattering when facing Jing Donghua.
Suddenly, Qin Yunuan was slightly stunned, she understood, just when the eunuch in charge of the palace raised his hand to make an invitation posture, Qin Yunuan found that the arm of the eunuch in charge was a little stiff, and she knew that there was a knife in this sleeve tube.
"Let's go, let's go to Xihe Palace to see my mother." Seeing that most of the situation over there had been decided, Leng Changxi took Qin Yunuan's hand and walked directly in the direction of Xihe Palace, he had already informed Bai Shishi that they would come back today, but when she arrived at Xihe Palace, Bai Shishi was still a little surprised, and leaned over to look behind Leng Changxi and Qin Yunuan with anticipation, and a faint disappointment welled up on her face.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is busy accompanying the envoys of Daqi in the main hall, and he can't go back to the palace to visit the princess for the time being." Qin Yunuan naturally understands Bai Shishi's affection, the two have been separated these days, on the one hand, the Yellow Flag military camp is difficult, and on the other hand, the palace is unpredictable, although everything is already arranged, there will always be a sense of uncertainty about life and death, especially Bai Shishi, she and Jing Yuanxiao are not only in a relationship of mutual help, but also have deep affection between the two.
Bai Shishi restrained the worry on her face, but asked with some surprise: "Why did the envoy of Great Qi suddenly come to Western Xia?" ”
"I guess it was the killer of Sima Rui of Great Qi who failed to go back in time, and Sima Rui also guessed that the situation in Western Xia was not good, and wanted to stop Western Xia from sending troops to Great Qi."
"You met a killer?" Bai Shishi obviously sent a lot of guards to protect Jing Yuanxiao, and also emphasized the thoroughness of protecting Leng Changxi and Qin Yunuan, and the Yellow Banner military camp was heavily guarded, she really didn't expect that there would be Daqi's killers mixed in.
"Jing Yuanchu and Sima Rui are the same dog, what can't be done." Leng Changxi smiled coldly, "However, now their wishful thinking is about to collapse completely." ”
The warm sun made the golden glazed tiles of Xihe Palace shine, the palace is Bai Shishi's favorite white plum blossoms, a tree is hidden in the corner, or in the middle of the yard, along the way, the plum blossoms are fragrant, the sunset is really warm, thinking of the bloody wind and rain on the head of the Yellow Banner Barracks and the city wall, Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi really have a feeling of the aftermath of the catastrophe in their hearts, this feeling is very exciting, but from Leng Changxi's heart, he will definitely not be willing to let Qin Yunuan experience such a thrill again.
asked about some other trivialities and details, Bai Shishi led the two along a secluded path all the way, for the sake of insurance, Bai Shishi secretly / took the eldest princess to her palace, and the place where the eldest princess originally lived still retains daily food delivery and traces of life, others seem, they really don't know that the eldest princess will hide in such a remote courtyard behind Xihe Palace.
"I follow Mrs. Leng's prescription, every day I ordered someone to wipe the body for the eldest princess, with medicinal solutions to stimulate her acupuncture points, a few days ago, the eldest princess can already open her eyes, these days I have come to visit the eldest princess every day, this morning, she also said thank you to me, Mrs. Leng, you are really a miracle doctor;
。 ”
Qin Yunuan lowered her head and smiled implicitly: "The crown princess has won the award." ”
Walking to the door, the crown princess was about to let the palace maid push the door in, but Leng Changxi suddenly heard a strange movement from inside, he kicked the door open, but saw that a masked man in black had tied the eldest princess to his body with a sheet, ready to escape from the window door, and saw Leng Changxi break in, and left quickly without looking back.
Leng Changxi didn't say anything, and chased directly in the direction where the man in black had escaped.
Qin Yunuan had a body of internal strength, and he didn't have the slightest effort, so he could only instruct the cold frost and mandarin ducks around him: "You two, you can't let this person go far from the east and west sides of Xihe Palace respectively." Then he instructed Tingxue and Man'er to say: "You two, secretly go and inform the eunuchs and palace maids, and say that there is a thief in the palace, pass on the order of the princess, and close all the palace gates." ”
Just when Qin Yunuan calmly gave the order, Bai Shishi, who had always been able to support the overall situation, was dumbfounded, she had always been full of confidence in taking care of the eldest princess, this courtyard was the quietest courtyard, and in the palace before the eldest princess, there were always traces of the eldest princess's survival, how could anyone find here, she was entrusted by others, and people completed the task of protecting Jing Yuanxiao and exposing Jing Yuanchu's mask so perfectly for her, but she couldn't even keep anyone.
"How can this be, impossible, it won't be like this." Bai Shishi leaned against the door frame, her body sliding uncontrollably, her eyes panicked.
"It's okay" Qin Yunuan hurriedly pulled up Bai Shishi, "Changxi's light work is unmatched, that person is burdened, he can't run fast, he will definitely be fine." ”
At the same time, in the main hall of Western Xia, a seemingly peaceful but mysterious conversation was unfolding, the old courtiers of Western Xia and Jing Donghua sitting on the dragon chair had a serious attitude, and Shi Rongrong, who led a team of twenty people, held his head high, and boldly put forward his ideas and suggestions without humility or arrogance, and his tone was firm, not as if he was asking, but asking.
The content is nothing more than wanting to detail Beidi's shameless behavior, including those aggressions in the past, especially exaggerating this assassination, Shi Rongrong is worthy of being a good lobbyist, if Jing Donghua didn't see through Shi Rongrong's tricks at the beginning, he would definitely be moved by Shi Rongrong's words.
Shi Rongrong talked eloquently, and Jing Donghua also looked like he was listening carefully, just when Shi Rongrong thought that he had said that Jing Donghua had moved, Jing Donghua beckoned, and a team of palace maids walked up from outside the hall, holding a tray in their hands, and a white porcelain teacup was placed in the center of the tray.
"This is a special tea of Western Xia, and it takes a lot of tongue to talk about it, so it is better to moisten your throat first, and then discuss."
Shi Rongrong squinted at the tea, and the vigilance in his heart couldn't help but increase a few degrees.
"Tea, you don't have to drink it, as for what I said below, I hope that the emperor of your country can think about it carefully, Beidi deceives people too much, although it is far away, it will be punished."
Shi Rongrong had a tough attitude, as if he wanted to lift the table and push away the strong work, in this case, Jing Donghua would not be polite, he turned his head sideways, and said with a smile: "Tea, you must drink it, you have come from afar, if Xixia has not served a cup of hot tea, wouldn't it be that my Xixia has lost hospitality." ”
It was when the two were arguing, when suddenly there was a commotion outside, and a black man broke in with a thing wrapped in cotton cloth, and shook the cotton cloth in his arms, and the person inside fell out, none other than the eldest princess.
