39. When the envoy arrives, the palace banquet meets the masked man again
On this day, when Ling Wushuang had just finished his warm-up exercise and was about to practice his sword, Qingluo suddenly ran and said that the envoy of Qi Liguo had entered the imperial capital and was now on the streets of the imperial capital.
"Master, can you stop practicing today, the envoy of Qi Liguo has entered the imperial capital, I'm worried about my brother, I want to go and see." Ling Wushuang looked at his master secretly, looking straight at him with pleading eyes.
"If you want to go, Miss, go there!" After a few days of getting along, Ling San also knew that his young lady was not afraid of hardship, but was really worried, so she would ask herself for leave, so she didn't stop her.
"Then master, I'll go first, I'll practice double tomorrow, and I won't slow down the progress." Saying that, he changed his clothes and went out of the house with Qingluo.
The two of them left the house and searched for the noisiest place all the way, and they didn't go far before they arrived at Hao Zai (here I would like to explain that the former Red Mansion was bought by someone and renamed Hao Zailai, and continued to sit in the same place. On the second floor, I found a place by the side of the street, as the saying goes, stand high and see far away.
"I heard that Qi Liguo was defeated by our Zhenguo General before he agreed to sign a peace agreement."
"That's not it, the general of Zhenguo is invincible, and he has protected my Aoki country from infringement for decades, but what about my idol." The people on the side of the road were talking a lot, most of them were talking about how powerful the general was, and Qi Liguo was asking for his own hardships, or something.
"This envoy of Qi Liguo is really determined, the voice of the person talking outside is not small, and the person sitting in the sedan chair must have heard it, and it is still as if it is nothing, it seems that he is not a good stubble." The entourage was a little unbearable, his face was red with anger and his neck was thick, but there was no movement in it at all.
"Miss, whether he is good at stubble or not, now on the chassis of Aoki Country, he can still turn the sky upside down."
Ling Wushuang smiled and didn't speak, he was not as naïve as Qingluo, Qi Liguo, as a defeated country, agreed to sign a peace agreement so easily, and sent a person who was not simple, and most of the people accompanying him were not ordinary guards, saying that there was no situation, he didn't believe it, but he always had to come, and he wouldn't be afraid, and then it would be up to him to see who made the best move.
Qi Liguo's envoy brigade was taken to the post house by Ling Tian and Duanmu Li to rest, and Ling Wushuang saw that the people had gone away and returned to the house. I'm afraid that there will be another welcome party to attend tonight, and I still go back to the master to practice as needed, and my father and brother are probably too busy to take care of themselves at this time, so I just go back to the house and wait while practicing.
Sure enough, as Ling Wushuang expected, in the afternoon, Ling Tian came back, saying that he was going to hold a welcome banquet for Qi Liguo, so that all the families were ready to participate. And according to what his brother said, from beginning to end, neither he nor Duanmu Li saw the main owner in the sedan chair, and it was not clear whether the people inside were men or women, and everything was conveyed by the subordinates, and this attitude did not seem to be to seek peace!
Ling Tian just came back and informed Ling Wushuang to sit down and get ready, and left again without even drinking a cup of tea, and said that if Ling Wushuang went to the banquet alone at night, he and Ling Ye would go directly to the banquet.
"Master, that's all for today's training, I should be ready to prepare, I'll continue training tomorrow, master go and rest first!"
"Then I'll come back tomorrow."
After Ling San left, Qingluo began to gather hot water, wearing simple clothes during training, and sweating again, she had to dress up anew. Bathing and changing clothes, dressing up, although it was easier to make Qingluo easier, it still took a lot of time. Ling Wushuang took Qingluo, and secretly took Ling Wu, got into the carriage, and went to the palace.
"Princess Wushuang, Ling Xiang specially asked the minions to guide you here." Entering the palace gate, there was a eunuch waiting for Ling Wushuang.
Ling Wushuang heard the sound of talking, lifted the curtain and looked at it, and found that it was the person who entered the palace a few days ago to guide him.
"This princess remembers you, and you were the one who led the way for this princess last time."
"It's an honor to be remembered by the princess."
"Qingluo." called Qingluo and motioned to give some tips. The eunuch took the reward and walked in front happily.
The carriage followed the person who led the way, slowly moving forward, until it reached Qionghuatai, and when it arrived at the destination, Ling Wushuang also got out of the carriage, and took Qingluo quietly to his own seat, don't ask how he knew his position, because he didn't know which stupid one was, on a table in front of the left, a white rice paper was pasted, and the paper was written with the four big characters of Wushuang Gongzi. Ling Wushuang quickly walked to the position, tore off the paper, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it away.
"Miss, only your seat has been marked." Qingluo looked around at the seats and found that only her own lady had a piece of paper on her desk, and nothing else.
"I see it." I don't know if it's going to help me or hurt me.
Looking at her young lady's unkind face, Qingluo chose to keep her mouth shut, so as not to be affected for a while.
This banquet, Ling Wushuang came early, the people in the hall came, and after looking around, he didn't see anyone from Qi Liguo, so Ling Wushuang lost interest, turned around and chatted with Qingluo. After waiting for a while, the people in the temple had basically arrived, and a few people on the throne were missing.
"Your Majesty, the queen has arrived, and the third prince has arrived." As the eunuch's shrill voice sounded, everyone in the hall knelt down and saluted, while Ling Ye and Ling Tian quietly came to Ling Wushuang's side and sat down while everyone was saluting.
The emperor gently took the queen and sat down on the high platform.
"Xuanqi Liguo's envoys came to see you."
As the sound fell, everyone raised their heads and looked at the entrance, all wanting to see what this envoy looked like. I saw a man appear in everyone's sight first, and behind the man followed three people, one holding a tray.
"This person is too unreasonable to take off his mask in front of His Majesty."
"On the orders of His Majesty, this king sent an envoy to the country of Aoki, and specially presented the most precious treasure, the three flowers, to repair the harmony between the two countries." As he spoke, he saw the man with the tray step forward and lift the black cloth that covered it. And the man stood on the main hall, without the slightest intention of kneeling, but just stood and finished speaking.
"Bold, Your Majesty is here, why don't you kneel." I saw a man stand up and said angrily.
"Our prince is unwell, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me." The man didn't speak, but the man with the tray spoke.
The main hall was still arguing about kneeling, but Ling Wushuang didn't listen to it at all, the mask that man wore was clearly exactly the same as the mask worn by the person who saved him in the palace last time, was this kind of mask too common or was the person who was a man that time, if it was the same person, then what was he doing in the palace that day?
