Chapter Seventy-Six: Collusion

"When we were besieged just now, Her Royal Highness the Princess had already heard that the accent of the person at the head was problematic, and his words were very awkward, but he spoke very fluently, which proves that he had been preparing to learn the language of our dynasty for a long time, and his way of speaking had been stereotyped, and he could not change it."

"Do you remember some of the characteristics of those gangsters?" If it is normal for a businessman between the two countries to learn the language, but he engages in such a thing, then it can be characterized as a long time coming.

Xiao Huai'an also got serious, but saw Su Jiao holding her chin, looking at the sky and thinking for a long time, "In addition to the accent, I look at it that my skin is a little darker, a little shorter, and my back is a little bent, but these should not be particularly special characteristics." ”

"That, my lord, the slave maid has something to say," Su Jiao is an outsider in the end, and she doesn't know much about this local terroir.

Xiao Huai'an nodded, and Mu Hibiscus took advantage of the inconvenience of Su Jiao is back to him to turn his head, and gestured with his hand with a serious face, "Those people are holding long knives in their hands, and the three-finger-wide blade is facing me, and the blades on both sides are long swords, and only one side of the blade is the weapon that they are used to using in the Wa Kingdom." ”

The tip of the long knife was slightly upturned, and the slave and maid categorically did not admit their mistake.

"Wa Guo," Xiao Huai'an tugged at the corners of his lips and muttered these two words, sounding very sarcastic in his tone.

Su Jiao didn't think deeper for a while, just opened her mouth and turned to look at Mu Hibiscus, "Haven't you been a maid in Huai'an's mansion, how do you know so much about the weapons of other countries?" ”

I've only heard of some particularly cool girls in modern times, and they are particularly interested in cold weapons, but I didn't expect that it was the same in ancient times, and the people here are quite advanced in their thinking.

But she thought innocently in her heart, listening to other people's ears is another matter, Mu Hibiscus's scalp tightened, and she didn't know how to answer, Xiao Huai'an on the other side didn't speak, so Mu Rong hurriedly pulled the person back quietly.

"Madam......" Mu Rong was about to speak, Su Jiao turned around and patted the table gently, "By the way, when it comes to that Wa country, there is one thing I almost forgot." Eh, Mu Rong, what did you just want to say? ”

The voice landed, and the topic changed so quickly that it was really difficult for people to keep up with Su Jiao's speed. Mu Rong opened her mouth slightly, and was stunned for a moment and forgot to pick it up, so Xiao Huai'an quietly picked up the conversation.

"The Japanese delegation came to Beijing, and I have been busy with the Ministry of Rites in the past few days, but you are talking about this?"

"Well, yes and no." Su Jiao came back to her senses, lowered her body, and approached in the direction of Xiao Huai'an with a mysterious expression, "Do you remember what the origin of the mission came to Beijing?" ”

"On that day, didn't I sneak into the palace to visit Yuge, and then was rescued by the five princes, I accidentally broke into the studio of the five princes that day, and he didn't react for a while, I clearly saw the drawing in his hand, which was the defense map on both sides of my dynasty and the Japanese kingdom."

"You once said that the five princes presented to the emperor is a defense map for the Japanese state to express its sincerity, so why do you want to mark my dynasty as well?"

After that, Xiao Huai'an's eyes opened slightly, and he also thought of the follow-up threat, Su Jiao then got up, "Combined with today's joint acting between the five princes and the people of the Wa Kingdom, isn't he flattering on both sides, and both sides are all-encompassing?" ”

"If the five princes betray our border defense map in order to sit on the throne and buy the help of a small country, it will be tantamount to treason." Xiao Huaian raised his eyebrows, he didn't do it for personal grievances, he simply didn't like Xu Ruzhu, but this matter had too much impact.

If so many countries unite, even if they don't let the Daze Dynasty Mansion fall down, they will be at war for many years, and their lives will be ruined.

"I can't let the five princes continue like this, I have to hurry into the palace to find out the truth." After thinking about it, Xiao Huai'an took the case, leaving this table full of delicacies and letting Su Jiao solve it alone.

"Alas, I said this so that you can be mentally prepared, in fact, you don't have to be so nervous......" After all, if Xu Ruzhu can really succeed, there will be nothing to do with the hero and heroine of the original book.

Su Jiao said, and hurriedly stood up, wanting to persuade a few words, but Xiao Huai'an acted too fast, and in the blink of an eye, only the door of the private room was shaking there.

"What's wrong with your calm and calm quality?" Su Jiao reluctantly withdrew her hand, looked at the table full of good dishes, and let out a long sigh.

"Diecui, hibiscus, Mu Rong, you come and help me eat together, otherwise I really can't solve it, and if there is any leftover, I will pack it and take it away."

Hearing this, a few maids came over and sat down beside Su Jiao, Mu Rong saw that she was not very happy, and couldn't help but explain.

"Madame, don't resent my family for leaving you, my lord's life is really hard, if it weren't for Your Majesty, how could Daze be prosperous now, he really cares about my subjects."

"Of course I know, just now it was just a casual talk." The feelings of a great power and the rise of a nation will inevitably damage personal interests, but after all, it will be beneficial to future generations.

Su Jiao said casually, suddenly realized that she was thinking of something messy, she couldn't help but have red ears, and hurriedly stood up to greet her with a bluff.

"Come on, come on, don't talk about these trivial things when you eat vegetables, let them keep their men busy by themselves."

On the other side, Xiao Huai'an rode back to the palace, he needed to quickly check the defense map in the emperor's hand, and simply found it early, otherwise when the envoy came to Beijing, Xu Ruzhu would help deceive him with rhetoric, but it would be too late.

The White Tiger Gate is the only way for the ministers to enter the palace, and the guards watched Xiao Huai'an galloping on horseback, and they didn't mean to stop at all, so shocked that they looked at each other in two sides, and hurriedly raised their spears to block them.

Xiao Huai'an hurriedly put away the reins, and the two front hooves of the BMW under his crotch were raised high, if he fell and stepped on someone, it would be either death or injury, but fortunately, Xiao Huai'an's equestrian skills were excellent, and he could avoid it with a U-turn.

The guard closest to Xiao Huai'an was almost frightened, and when he came back to his senses, he asked helplessly, "Why did Lord Xiao enter the palace in such a hurry, this horse is not allowed to ride into the palace." ”

"This official naturally knows." With that, Xiao Huai'an turned over and dismounted, handed the reins to the guard, and arranged the cuffs of his shirt by the way, "Your Majesty can be in the palace today?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty is going to the study to approve the folding, Lord Xiao needs to be informed-" The guard nodded before he controlled the horse, and Xiao Huai'an was already far away.

"Not necessarily."

Shang Shufang, a plane tree in the courtyard was silent, standing high in the flower beds on both sides, Xiao Huai'an tidied himself up and walked over slowly, through the Lou Hua papier-mΓ’chΓ© doors and windows, he clearly heard the emperor inside was chattering, "Tianshui River-"

The Tianshui River crosses the border between Daze and the Wa Kingdom, and the river formed by the melting and gathering of the Oriental Snow Mountains irrigates the people of the two dynasties.

Xiao Huai was startled, and pushed the door open, the emperor and Dequan inside were startled, Dequan raised his eyebrows, and immediately sharpened his throat and cocked his orchid finger to scold.

"Presumptuous, Lord Xiao, although you are a hundred officials, you shouldn't be so rude, how can you trespass in without being informed."

"That's it, Dequan, you step back first. Huai'an, I happened to find you and said something, come here. The Emperor pursed his lips and put away the drawings in his hand. When Dequan heard what he said, his face changed slightly, but he had to retreat obediently.

"Yes, the old slave went to check for His Majesty to see if the awakening soup was boiled." After that, Dequan stepped back, passed by Xiao Huai'an's side, and gently whisked the dust.

Xiao Huai'an didn't have the time to deal with him now, this was a small action like a child's play, listening to the emperor's words, he walked to the desk, and just about to speak, as soon as he lowered his head, he clearly saw that on the drawings in the emperor's hand, the armaments on both sides were clearly visible.

"Your Majesty, this is-" The last time Xu Ruzhu put the drawings into the line, Xiao Huai'an stood in the lower position and didn't see it, but now when he looks at it, Xiao Huai'an can't help but feel that he and Su Jiao are wrong.

"Ah, I tell you the same thing." The Emperor did not notice anything wrong with his expression, but happily spread out the drawings and pushed him over.

"Huai'an, look at this, not only is there the deployment of the Japanese state, but even the garrison of our dynasty is clearly visible, so in this comparison, I can see the gap between the two sides, and how to adjust the manpower of the army when a riot suddenly starts, such as bamboo is really heartfelt."

The emperor saw that this was not bad today, and he slapped it twice on the table very heroically, then pointed to one of the camps and said with a smile, "There is such a place, it is the camp where the Earl of Yong'an, Chonglin, is stationed with the hairy boy from the household, if I can be ten years younger, I want to go over and see it in person, and have a good time with Chonglin." ”

"Your Majesty is prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, Rao is a long way here, and it will definitely be able to arrive, but the people of the world are waiting for Your Majesty, and Your Majesty has to reluctantly stay in his heart first, fortunately, the small countries are obedient, and the world is peaceful."

Xiao Huai'an frowned and said, on the one hand, he wanted the emperor to relax, and on the other hand, he wanted to buy time to take a look at the overly clear defense map marked here.

"Huai'an, you don't say such flattering words every day, how did you change your personality today, and you still know how to please me." The emperor is really happy, in the end, he doesn't stretch out his hand and don't hit the smiling person, who doesn't like to listen to nice words.

Seeing this, Xiao Huai'an took advantage of the emperor's good mood and asked tentatively, "What Weichen said is from the bottom of his heart, but the five princes of this defense map really have a heart, and they also deliberately added the drawings presented by the country to mark them by themselves. ”

"Where is this the second time Ruzhu sent a new drawing, Ruzhu said that he was worried that I would see that the arming on the side was too limited, so he specially took the time to draw a new drawing, and only sent it to me today, I specially asked you to take a look, and there will be an adjustment of the border defense another day, and you also have a basis."
