Chapter VI The Quad Nation Continues
Hua Qing walked over and helped her up, with worry flashing on her face, "Are you okay?" ”
"It's fine." Shen Wenjiang replied absentmindedly, his eyes hadn't left the person in front of him.
This man has a long figure, and his dark robe makes him almost blend in with the night, but he wears a silver mask on his face, covering most of his face, making the thin lips exposed to the outside particularly sexual, sensual, and good-looking.
To her surprise, the man's robe was spread out, and she could vaguely see the moon-white middle coat and the narrow waist inside.
Looking closely at the "long silk" in his hand, he was stunned to find that it was actually a belt.
Apparently he had untied his belt just now to save her.
Rao is Shen Wenjiang is calm, and she is very embarrassed at the moment, not to mention that she has been staring at him for so long, so long that it seems that she has seen someone else through him.
Well, these eyes are a little familiar.
Shen Wenjiang suddenly stretched out his hand to remove the mask on his face.
The man tilted his head, avoiding it perfectly, and coughed lightly.
Shen Wenjiang's hand froze in mid-air, and it took a while to withdraw it in embarrassment.
Because of this out, the atmosphere was momentarily stagnant.
Hua Qing hurriedly shouted Yanqiu.
Hearing the shout, Yanqiu finally came slowly from the corner, and the fear in her eyes was still gone.
The little maid was frightened when she saw such a scene for the first time.
Shen Wenjiang was also stunned, and let Yanqiu help him into the house.
Hearing this, Hua Qing whispered thanks to the man.
Just then, a fire suddenly erupted outside, followed by a noisy human voice.
The man looked up at the fire, then exhaled heavily, looked in the direction of the house, and quickly jumped off the wall.
Is that him?
Shen Wenjiang's eyes were blank, his heart was both nervous and excited, his hands were holding a teacup tightly, and his whole body was trembling.
"Girl, what's wrong with you?" The little girl beside her asked timidly, "Is the injury on the leg painful again?" ”
Shen Wenjiang: ......
Seeing that she didn't answer, Yanqiu said to herself: "Servant, I'll serve you medicine." ”
After saying that, he quickly ran out of the door.
Hua Qing stood at the door, looking at Shen Wenjiang who was distracted in the house, and her doubts became bigger and bigger.
But she didn't ask anything.
After a while, the rain returned.
The two exchanged glances at the door, and then entered the house together.
Feiyu said: "It's the water with the National Post House, I heard that it was attacked, the four princes are gone, and the body of Prince Mu Tuo is also gone." ”
He said it simply and bluntly.
Shen Wenjiang finally came back to his senses, and the teacup in his hand "clanged" to the ground.
Ground full of debris.
"Are you satisfied with this result?" Shen Wenjiang said.
From beginning to end, Hua Qing participated in everything, and there was nothing else she didn't understand.
But if you want to say satisfied, she is not satisfied, and the prince will not be satisfied.
Because of her intervention, the four princes of Qianguo were rescued, and the truth of the death of the prince of Heguo may also be revealed. Once the misunderstanding is cleared up, the war between the two countries will not be able to be fought, and there will be no benefit to them.
"You might as well think about it, I took action this time to solve the danger of Shuofeng Island, whether it is the crown prince, the fourth prince, or the prince of Zhennan, they all owe me a great favor......
"This is a good opportunity to make friends with the upper echelons of the Qianguo."
"To be a man, you have to take a long-term view."
It sounds like that.
But, is that really the case?
Hua Qing is not stupid, and Feiyu is not stupid, but the matter has come to this point, they must have a unified voice and recognize this kind of statement, so that everyone is good if you are good and I am good.
……
The night passed.
The next day was another sunny day.
The sea breeze is blowing, the sun is shining, and the flowers and grass are smiling, scrambling to pose movingly.
The Four-Nation Alliance, which had been suspended due to the death of the crown prince, continued today, but it was very different from the previous arrangement.
In the Shuoyang Palace, the prince of Qianguo had just led a group of courtiers to sit down, and was whispering something to Lord Yang beside him.
The Pingguo Mission arrived.
The Ping Kingdom is weak in China among the four countries, and its territory is the smallest. However, the current emperor of Pingguo is very aware of current affairs, and as early as ten years ago, he took the initiative to surrender to the Qianguo, attached himself to the Qianguo, and would send envoys to the Qianguo every year to pay tribute.
For such sincere neighbors, the Emperor also showed the atmosphere of the Celestial Empire and gave them a lot of preferential treatment and support.
For example, the people of the Ping Kingdom can come to the Qianguo to study, do business, and even become officials.
Today's emperor's favorite concubine Zhao is also from Pingguo, but she is not a noble of Pingguo, just an ordinary music girl in King Yi's mansion.
Once King Yi came to Qianguo to worship.
The emperor set up a banquet to entertain, and during the banquet, this woman sang and danced, which was praised by the emperor as "the sound of fairy music, the dance of the shocking Hong." ”
King Yi understood the king's intentions very well, and he happily offered this woman.
Three years later, she became the famous Concubine Zhao in the harem of the Qianguo Kingdom.
Speaking of which, the killing of Prince Mutuo had nothing to do with Pingguo at all, and it is no wonder that the officials of the Pingguo Mission were very relaxed.
As soon as they were seated, the Jin delegation arrived.
The reason why the four princes of Qianguo became the biggest suspects in the assassination of Prince Mu Tuo this time was because of the testimony of His Royal Highness Ye Rong.
It is really rude to accuse the host of killing a guest on someone's turf.
Because of this, the officials of the Jin State Mission felt too embarrassed, and after saluting the prince of Qianguo and others on the throne, they silently walked to the arranged position and sat down.
The last to arrive was the Wakuni Mission.
It was still the king of the wall who was in the lead, and he was followed by Honno.
The two of them walked towards Kazuku's seat with a faint expression on their faces and unsquinting eyes.
The other envoys who followed them looked tired, thinking that it was because the inn was attacked last night, and everyone was busy cleaning up the aftermath and stayed up all night, so they politely saluted the host and guests at this moment and sat down.
The envoys of Jin and Ping all looked at them, their eyes full of inquiry.
Such a big incident happened with the National Post House last night, of course they sent someone to investigate. There is a lot of news coming back, but I don't know whether it's true or not.
When the envoys arrived, the prince called for someone to close the palace door.
At the same time, two columns of armored and resolute soldiers suddenly stabbed out from the side hall.
They quickly took control of the various temple gates, and scattered around the hall, staring at the envoys in the hall with fierce eyes.
The envoys were startled, and they all stood up and asked the prince on the throne.
The crown prince smiled slightly, also stood up, and saluted the envoys, "This palace invites you to come today, there is a public case that needs you to testify." ”
Hearing this, the envoys' hearts tightened.
It was not a judgment but a testimony that he had already decided something in his heart.
Last night......
Could it be that it was the prince of Qianguo who rescued the four princes?
Why didn't the four princes show up today?
If it was really the four princes who were rescued by the prince of Qianguo, then why did they steal the body of the prince of Heguo?
Saving people is excusable, but the act of stealing corpses is too low.
……
It's just that no matter how much they slander in their hearts, they all look like they are listening to each other, including the Hekuni Mission, which is the "bitter master", and even the King of the Wall and Motono, who danced the most fiercely before, are also silent at the moment.
Among the four countries, the national strength of the peace country is second only to that of the cadre country, and it even has a tendency to catch up with and surpass it in some aspects. For example, their boatmen and warships.
As for the relationship with the Qianguo, it is the worst. However, Qianguo told himself that the Heavenly Empire was superior, and he disdained to deal with them in some trivial matters, so he was quite peaceful on the surface.
But this time, the death of Prince Mutuo broke this peace.
Qianguo's diplomacy has always emphasized that peace is precious, which is why they did not take action even if Motono detained the four princes before, and tried to get the four princes back through peaceful means.
Therefore, on the Heguo side, they did not expect that the Qianguo would suddenly attack the Heguo Post House at night, so that they were caught off guard, not only were the four princes of the Qianguo State rescued, but even the body of Prince Mutuo was gone.
What is even more hateful is that he knew that it was done by the Qianguo people, but there was no evidence left at the scene.
