Chapter 60: Still rejoicing in the rejection of gifts
Jiang Qi fled back to Xinxiang, repaired the city and built walls, strengthened the guard, and panicked against the surprise attack of the Huyou army, but after more than ten days, he did not even see a trace of the Huyou army.
Jiang Qi came back to his senses, too, the general was in their hands, of course they had nothing to fear.
The military case was full of urgent orders from the king, asking him to save him unscathed, no matter what the cost.
Jiang Qi is the first two big ones at the moment, although he has occupied Xinxiang, but for a few months, the people in the city have a small uprising every three days, and a big opposition every five days, and he has also divided his troops to suppress the people's resistance.
This group of things that don't know whether to live or die, Emperor Dayou is so good?
Jiang begged for help, and finally sent envoys to Xiangcheng to negotiate with Xue Yao, promising that as long as Xue Yao let Wu Yi go, they would immediately withdraw from Xinxiang.
Xue Yao listened to the words of the envoy of the Qiang State, and laughed in his heart: "You can come if you want, and leave if you want, isn't it too cheap for you?" ”
The envoy was a little arrogant, and said proudly: "The territory of Dayou is so weak? If I really want to come, I can come, then it is also a beautiful thing, General Xue, what do you say? ”
Xue Yao laughed, this envoy had a big temper.
"The envoys have come from afar, it is better to rest for a few days, and then give an answer to the envoys when I show my king."
"General Xue is deliberately delaying, right?" The envoy was indignant, "Who in the world doesn't know that your Emperor Dayou has long neglected the small city in the southwest, don't tell me that you can't even do such a trivial thing?" ”
Xue Yao smiled happily with a pair of peach blossom eyes: "Maybe your Qiang Kingdom regards General Wuyi's life as a trivial matter, but I, Dayou, regard the matter of Xinxiang as more important than anything else!" ”
He waved his sleeves and made a send-off gesture: "Since you are here to negotiate, you must show the sincerity of negotiation!" What do you say, envoy? ”
Xue Yao didn't even give the envoy a look, and went straight into the back account of the boss.
He pulled down his face, a little envoy of the Qiang State actually played a majestic role in the camp of my Tiger You Army? Do you really think you have a few pounds and a few taels?
"I didn't expect that the dignified General Xue was so childish, and he was angry with an envoy." Huaiyu was dressed in a brocade robe, holding a scroll, and sat leisurely in front of the long case.
Xue Yao walked over and replied: "He Jiang Qi specially sent such a thorn head, how can there be a trace of peace-seeking attitude, I am enough to give him face!" ”
"Then you specially called me here just so that I could listen to such a negotiation without a beginning or an end?"
This one?
Xue Yao also felt that his move was a little inappropriate at this time, no matter how Huaiyu said it, she was also a woman, so she ran into the big tent of the general of the Huyou Army, and spread it, did she want the reputation of her daughter's family?
"Naturally not, I see that every time you fight against someone, you either hold a thin bamboo in your hand, or draw a soldier's spear in your hand, I don't think you have the same weapon."
Xue Yao had an idea, smiled and took off a knife from the knife holder and handed it to Huaiyu.
"This is the Shuangyun Knife that my father asked a master to cast when he was young, and I give it to you today!"
Huaiyu looked at the knife handed over by Xue Yao for a while, but did not take it.
"A knife is a good knife, but I can't ask for it."
Xue Yao held the knife awkwardly and looked at Huaiyu suspiciously, the little girl resolutely rejected people's kindness with a serious attitude, and looked like the kind of bad person who persecuted women from good families.
"Why?"
Of course, Huaiyu wouldn't tell him that he already had a sword and a sword, but he didn't bring it from far away in Kyoto.
"A gentleman doesn't take the favor of others, since the Shuangyun Sword was left to you by General Xue, how can I take it easily?"
What is the reason for this?
Xue Yao saw that Huaiyu really didn't accept it, and ruled out that she was disgusted with the knife, that is, she didn't want to send something by herself? Xue Yao was slightly disappointed in his heart, and then put the knife back in a chic manner, and said with a smile: "I am used to using a silver spear, this knife has been placed on this rack since my father died, and now the treasure knife is covered with dust, which is a pity." ”
Huaiyu said: "The treasure knife is covered with dust, but the hero is in his prime!" What's there to regret? ”
Xue Yao was overjoyed, and the little girl finally put away her business-like attitude for so many days and said a warm word.
Since the last time she had an argument with Huaiyu in Xiangnanlou and broke up unhappily, every time she saw her, she looked faint and didn't want to talk to herself except for business.
Xue Yao had nothing to do, and his heart-scratching appearance was seen by his subordinates, Xu Xun came over with a shyly face, and asked him to send some gifts to the little girl and apologize, and this matter passed like this.
Xue Yao felt that this method was feasible, but Huaiyu was not an ordinary woman, and she definitely didn't like the rouge gouache that ordinary women liked, so after thinking about it, she decided to give her this Shuangyun knife, but she was actually rejected and refused.
But at present, it seems that whether the gift is given or not, the effect has been achieved.
Not bad!
He sent Huaiyu out of the big tent with a spring breeze on his face, and sent Huaiyu to turn over and get on his horse with a smile and leave the Huyou army barracks.
Xu Xun saw it and quietly came over.
"General, you want the old cow to eat tender grass, look at the girl who is smart, forehead ......" He was punched by Xue Yao, and hurriedly dodged around, "It's not that your subordinates say that you are not good, general, don't do it!" ”
"If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will deal with it by military law!"
Xu Xun rubbed the shoulder that was hit: "It's really heavy, you, dare you say that you don't have that mind?" ”
Xue Yao was silent, stretched out his hand and touched his chin to think for a moment, glanced at Xu Xun lightly, and turned around and entered the military tent.
Huaiyu did not return to Taishou Mansion, but went to the direction of Xiangcheng to find Yanlou.
In the private room of Xunyan Tower, Ah Wei stood aside with a bitter face, and a man in white sat at the octagonal round table, looking at the cramped Ah Wei with a smile.
Awei secretly complained, why did the landlord come to Xiangcheng?
It's coming, why did you bring a banquet boy?
I brought it with me, why did I pick the girl to come when she went to the Huyou Army barracks?
Ah Wei secretly glanced at the young man sitting opposite the landlord, but Long Zhang Fengzi had a calm face, who was it not Zhao Yan?
Xue Yao, Xue Yao, you hurt me! Ah Wei said in his heart.
The person who was sent out came back to report that after the Qiang envoy came out, the girl stayed in the big tent of the commander of the Huyou army for two quarters of an hour, and when she came out, Xue Yao had a smile on her face and a spring breeze......
Smile broadly??
As soon as Yan Gongzi heard this, his whole face darkened, okay, if it weren't for the people under his command who said that the girl was driving a horse to Xunyan Tower, Ah Wei estimated that Gongzi would have killed him directly.
Terrible!!
Ah Wei listened anxiously to the sound downstairs: Why hasn't the girl arrived yet?
The maid came to change the tea a few times, and the two uncles just sat like this, without saying a word, and the most bitter thing was that he was a little guard who couldn't get out and couldn't get in.
After another half of the tea, he finally heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the building, Awei was relieved, and hurriedly went downstairs, and his own little servant led Huaiyu's horse to the stable.
Huaiyu opened his mouth and asked, "Is there any news?" ”
It has been almost half a month since Achu and his entourage set off for Fengze, and Huaiyu wanted to come to Xunyanlou in person to ask if there was any news, but he saw that Awei was so happy.
"Yes, yes, girl, go upstairs!"
