Chapter 23: Princess Silo
Since Bai Jinse's disappearance that day, Xuan Huaiyu's personal guard Ling Yu has picked up a few silver arrows scattered on the side of the road on a path leading to the border of the Misa Kingdom.
This trail leads directly into the territory of the country of Misa, and since the mysterious man on the house disappeared that day, everyone searched for the Champs Village but found no trace of Li Hao.
Xuan Huaiyu thought that since Bai Jinse was chasing the mysterious figure to the Misa country, it had been two days now, but he had not seen her come back, and he was afraid that she would be in danger, so he planned to go to the Misa country to find Bai Jinse before making plans.
They followed the path all the way to the land of Mezza.
Although the Misa Kingdom paid tribute to the Xuan Kingdom every year, it was not a territory of the Xuan Kingdom, and after submitting the documents as usual, he came to the palace to visit the monarch of the Misa Kingdom.
It's just that the monarch of the Misa Kingdom is in poor health, and because it is the Prince of Xuanguo who is visiting, he sent the most noble general Aknu to meet him, and welcomed Xuan Huaiyu into the main hall of the Misa Kingdom Palace for a banquet.
The main hall is filled with the unique fragrance of the Misa country, and on the low white jade table is placed fresh fruits, a pot of fine elixir and jade liquid, and a few plates of rare dishes.
It's just that there was a man with a face full of flesh and aristocratic clothes sitting on the throne in the east, and when the man saw Xuan Huaiyu and others walking into the main hall, instead of getting up to greet him, he looked disdainful and raised his head arrogantly.
"Meet His Royal Highness the Prince of Xuanguo!" General Misa deliberately bowed to Xuan Huaiyu in front of the man, and deliberately accentuated the words "His Royal Highness the Prince of Xuanguo".
When the man with a noble face heard this, he looked at Xuan Huaiyu who had not yet sat down with disdain, and said contemptuously:
"I heard that Prince Xuan was already the prince of Xuanguo at a young age, but today it seems that it is nothing more than that, it seems that the war ten years ago, Xuanguo has no successor, so he will let a child who has not reached the crown be the prince, haha..."
"Presumptuous, dare to be rude to His Royal Highness the Prince!" The personal guard Ling Yu drew his sword and faced each other, and the guard next to the man also stepped forward with his sword and confronted each other.
The general Aknu hurriedly played a round, but there was a hint of provocation in his words:
"The two princes are both golden and noble, and they have a golden body, but there is only one in this east-facing seat, and the country of Misa is only a small country on the border, which is not as strong as Xuanguo and Jingguo, and the soldiers are strong and strong. Originally, this east-facing seat was only reserved for the most noble person, but it was very difficult for me to choose, and it was very difficult for me to choose! ”
A few days ago, the king of Jingguo wrote a letter of resignation, saying that he was willing to make a good relationship with the Misa Kingdom of Qin and Jin, and he would find an opportunity to crusade against the Xuan Kingdom together in the future, and after breaking through the Jing Kingdom, half of the territory of the Xuan Kingdom would be owned by the Misa Kingdom.
The monarch of Jing Guo made a good calculation, saying that he had formed an alliance but did not give half of the ready-made benefits to the country of Misa, and the general of the country of Misa was not a fool at the mercy of others, so he used the king of the country of Misa as an excuse, and no one in the country was in charge, and the reply letter was vague and ambiguous.
He did not say that he agreed, nor did he say that he did not agree, but only that the monarch had a daughter named Princess Siluo, who had reached the age of marriage, and that a few days ago Xuanguo wanted to send an envoy to ask for marriage.
In order to show his sincerity, the prince Jing Qingxiao wanted to take the first step to come to the country of Misa to marry Princess Siluo, and first promote the alliance between the two countries.
Thinking that his father, King Jing Guojun I, was a hero, but he was born to the crown prince Jing Qingxiao was a straw bag who couldn't talk or do things, so he hurriedly said and shouted:
"What kind of thing is the prince of Xuanguo! Jing has 400,000 iron horsemen? As long as my father gave an order, 400,000 iron horsemen crossed the desert and came directly to the capital of Xuanguo. ”
"Shut up!" Mu Qingyun rubbed his temples when he heard this, but he had such a brother who was not successful enough and had more than enough failures, and he should also cooperate with the inside and outside, for fear that Xuan Huaiyu would not know that Jingguo's secret guards were hidden in the capital of Xuanguo, and his imperial brother's words might expose him and hundreds of secret guards in the city to danger.
Xuan Huaiyu smiled and said nothing, only to see many flaws in Jing Qingxiao's words, and he already had a plan to deal with it. As the saying goes: It is useless to say more, and if you say more, you will lose.
Xuan Huaiyu looked indifferent, and that Jing Qingxiao spat and spat, gushing endlessly, his face trembled, he sat down in the south-facing seat, and said something to Ling Yu beside him, Ling Yu flew pigeons in the palace of King Xuan that night.
The palace guards doubled their strength to patrol the city day and night, and when they encountered suspicious people, they were taken to the prison for torture, and at one point Mu Qingyun lost more than a dozen well-trained secret guards, all of whom were due to him, a brainless straw bag brother, and almost lost the news of communication with the secret guards.
Xuan Huaiyu didn't pay attention to it, Jing Qingxiao stopped talking when he was bored, and the general Aknu was ready to watch a good show on the side, but it didn't go as he wanted, so he arranged a song and dance in the main hall.
Misa's national style is open, a group of dancing girls swaying their slender waists, their bodies are bewitching, they wear golden bells on their feet, and their snow-white skin looms in the almost transparent tulle dress, Jing Qingxiao can't help but be stunned, her soul is hooked by these singers, her eyes are narrowed into a slit, her mouth is wide open, and saliva overflows from the corners of her mouth.
After a song, the dancing girls withdrew from the main hall.
Jing Qingxiao was still unfinished, and said to the dancers who slowly retreated: "Beauty, don't go!" ”
A veiled woman in a red tulle dress arrives
Although the woman is veiled, the eyes above the veil are so beautiful that they are fascinating, and thousands of styles appear between the eyebrows.
The woman's eyebrows were affectionate, the soft waist was full of hands, a large piece of jade muscle like clotted fat was exposed, the red dress was tightly attached to her, and the bare feet exposed the slender ankles.
Jing Qingxiao couldn't help but follow the woman's affectionate eyes to the hall, eager to take her soft waist and soft body with a strange fragrance into her arms, and praised again and again: "It's really a natural stunner!" ”
The woman saw Jing Qingxiao walking towards her, her eyes were full of anger, but she seemed to be disgusted and happy, and she was full of charm.
The woman danced in front of Xuan Huaiyu on tiptoe, put the red silk in her hand on the jade table in front of Xuan Huaiyu, shook her soft waist, and walked out of the hall.
The general smiled and said to Xuan Huaiyu: "Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Prince of Xuanguo, Princess Siluo has fallen in love with His Royal Highness, and the dance in front of this palace will be a meeting gift from the two countries to the Misa Kingdom of the two countries to His Royal Highness the Prince of Xuanguo, Your Royal Highness the Prince, are you satisfied?" ”
"She said that she was in the picture? Our Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't say that he wanted to marry you Princess Siluo, Brother Yu, right? ”
Hearing this, Bai Shuangran hurriedly stepped forward to object, if Princess Siluo married into Xuanguo, for the sake of the alliance between the two countries, she would definitely crown Princess Siluo as the crown princess, and her marriage contract with Xuan Huaiyu in the interests of the two countries may be invalidated.
How could Bai Shuang Dye be willing to give up the noble status of the crown princess at his fingertips, so he hurriedly jumped out to oppose it.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not spoken, why should you object!" Princess Siluo changed into a luxurious costume of the Misa Kingdom and spoke in the Central Plains dialect, which was not very fluent.
"I am the future crown princess of Xuanguo, the only archmage of Xuanguo." Bai Jinse said sharply.
"Oh, you also said that you are just the future crown princess! Then the two of us will compete fairly, and whoever wins will marry His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”
"Don't fight with the two beauties, you both marry me, both of you are the crown princess of this prince, the future queen and concubine of Jingguo." Jing Qingxiao said to Princess Bai Shuang Dye and Siluo, who were arguing.
"Shut up!" They said in unison.
Su Moyan was so troubled by their quarrel that he walked out of the palace and came to the street to inquire about Bai Jinse's news.
I saw a group of red-clothed women dressed up in flowers on the street, all wearing red ties, and the leading woman beat gongs and drums and shouted: "Qianhong Pavilion will win!" Thousand Red Pavilion won the championship in one fell swoop! ”
If it weren't for the fact that Mother Li stood among the women and raised the silk handkerchief in her hand to greet the sons who were watching the excitement, and threw a few flattering glances, Su Moyan thought that the sons of that family had paraded the streets later in high school.
I saw a group of women in pink dresses on the corner of the street with pink straps on their heads, and walked towards the women in red, and the leading woman beat the gong and drum and shouted: "Baihualou will win, Baihualou will win the first!" ”
Goodbye to the streets and alleys, a group of women in yellow with yellow straps on their heads, walking towards a group of women in red and pink, the leading women beat gongs and drums and shouted: "Chunxiangyuan will win, Chunxiangyuan is the first!" ”
"Do you still want to face in Chunxiangyuan?" The women in red and the women in pink said in unison.
