Yan Chen got up with a smile, clasped his fists and arched his hands: "The folk girl Yan Chen has seen His Highness. The sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, who do not know the number of etiquette, rashly ask for it, and hope that His Highness will forgive me. ”

Before King Rui could speak, the original king walked out from behind him and said with a smile: "This is the first time that this king knows that there is such a blessed land in Shanyuan City. ”

His eyes swept over Yan Chen, and he was stunned.

Is there such a beautiful thing in the world?

The woman in front of her was slender, with a thin waist and a shrugged chest, like bamboo and pine. On the face as thin as congealed cream, his eyes are clear and clear.

The corners of her mouth are slightly raised, her eyebrows are smiling, and her whole person is like a sword out of the sheath, shining brightly, making the world breathe and distracted.

The original king was stunned and stammered: "This king, uh, the little king is polite!" ”

When he turned around, he found that King Rui's expression was different, as if he was happy and sad. He bumped King Rui with his elbow, and sighed in his heart, it turns out that the red face is really a disaster, and the ancients did not deceive me.

King Rui suddenly came back to his senses and arched his hand: "Chen Niang is heroic, this king is rude." ”

The original king looked at the sun outside the window again, could it be that the sun rose to the west? This thousand-year-old cold king will also compliment women?

Yan Chen smiled heartily and gave way to King Rui and King Yuan.

The two kings' personal guards withdrew from the outdoors one after another, leaving only Qi Zhengtian and Qi Zhengyan, the original king's personal guards, standing at the door like nails.

Xi'er and Heng Niang stood behind Yan Chen, pouring wine and dishes for the three of them.

Yan Chen raised his glass and said, "Yan Chen, the two highnesses are fortunate to enjoy the light, first drink a full cup to express your gratitude." After saying that, he took a sip.

Yuan Wang opened his mouth slightly, this, this little lady is beautiful, and she is too bold, right?

praised: "Chenniang's women don't let the eyebrows, this king admires." After speaking, he tilted his head and took a drink.

King Rui didn't say a word, only raised his head and drank the wine, frowning: "It seems to be a small pot of wine in the mountain plain?" ”

The original king didn't know what a small pot of wine, but he felt that this wine was strong but not spicy, mellow and fragrant, and praised: "It's really good wine!" ”

Yan Chen pursed his lips and smiled: "The small pot of wine in the mountain plain is not as good as the royal elixir, and it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance, but Yan Chen prefers it." Wronged the two highnesses. ”

King Rui stared at Yan Chen deeply, and a strong sense of familiarity struck again. Small pot wine is Xi'er's preference, and Rui Wang is familiar with it. Back then, she sneaked out of the house, sold a few pots and brought them back, and asked Zihao and Zirui to drink freely under the moon, and the three of them drank too much, singing and singing, disturbing the silence of the house. was known by his father Qi Jin, severely fined three people, and squatted all night.

Yan Chen felt King Rui's scalpy gaze and lowered his eyes slightly.

The original king not only sighed in his heart, but he was almost vomiting three liters of blood. The second brother has been rude repeatedly, no matter how much the person in front of him looks like a fairy, he can't be so scorching, right?

He picked up the wine glass and shouted, "Xiao Wang borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, and drank another glass." Two of them at their own convenience! ”

Yan Chen said happily: "Yan Chen will also have a drink." ”

But King Rui reached out and took the cup from her hand, stepped on the original king, and drank it first.

Yan Chen looked at his empty hand and was stunned.

It was the wine glass she had drunk.

The original king choked so much that he almost coughed to death.

Xi'er looked at the original king worriedly, and hurriedly poured a cup of tea and sent it over.

King Rui ignored him and personally took a chopstick fish fillet for Yan Chen.

Yan Chen had no choice but to bow his head and eat. Slightly warm on the face.

The original king finally stopped coughing, turned his head and saw King Rui's movements, and was stunned.

No, he has to peel off King Rui's face to see if it's a fake.

Heng Niang silently took a wine glass and put it in Yan Chen's hand.

Yan Chen re-filled and said to King Rui: "Your Highness is stationed in Tongguan all the year round, guarding the land and the people, refusing to enter the mountains outside the pass, saving the people from fire and water, Yan Chen respects His Royal Highness!" ”

King Rui looked at Yan Chen, and in these beautiful eyes, King Rui seemed to see a cluster of light like fire.

He raised his wine glass, touched it with Yan Chen, and sighed: "Chen Niang praises! I can't hate to behead all the enemies under the sword, and sacrifice my Great Xia Heroic Soul! ”

Yan Chen drank the wine in his cup and said resolutely: "One day, one day, Shanrong will be destroyed!" ”

The original king interjected: "Speaking of the Shanrong tribe, I heard that some tribes have repeatedly fought with the second brother recently? ”

"The Shanjung is a collective term for the many tribes of the steppe. In the past, it was the Zhamu Division, the largest tribe in Shanjung at that time, who colluded with Peng thieves. After the defeat that year, his vitality was greatly injured and he retreated into the depths of the grassland. In recent years, several tribes have been subdued, and they have gradually risen again. The head man is called Zamu Huang, and he was the first offender to invade Niangzi Pass that year. Now the king has fought with him several times, and each has won or lost. This person is fierce and fierce, he is quite scheming, and he heard that there are traitors in Great Xia around him as strategists. It is hateful that the king pursued and suppressed several times, but because he could not find his king's account, he finally failed to annihilate his main force. King Rui clasped his hands tightly and said hatefully.

The original king wanted to speak and stopped.

Yan Chen asked him, "His Royal Highness the Former King seems to have something to say?" ”

The original king groaned for a while, looked at King Rui worriedly, and said, "I heard that there is a peace talk with Zamuhuang in the court. The Daotong Guan Ruiwei Army has spent a lot of military expenses, and now it should be a national policy to recuperate. ”

King Rui's face suddenly sank like water, and he sneered: "If this king survives for one day, peace talks will never be possible!" ”

The original king hesitated and said: "My father summoned the second brother back to Beijing this time, and it seems that he wants to discuss peace talks with the second brother. ”

King Rui sneered: "Negotiate peace with this king? ”

The original king seemed to have made up his mind, and said in harmony: "The civil officials in the court headed by Li Mingde have written peace talks. He also wrote to his father and the emperor to advise his second brother to return to the dynasty and hand over the military power to others. However, the prince's brother does not approve of it at present. Xiao Wang also felt that it was inappropriate, and on the side of the couch, how could he allow others to sleep soundly! ”

King Rui's eyes were suddenly like swords, his eyebrows tightened, the empty cup in his hand suddenly shattered, a few wisps of blood poured out of his palm, and his voice was broken into gold and jade: "It's Li Gou again!" Back then, the Li family, as an old minister of Emperor Er, betrayed his lord to seek glory. His daughter is honest and shameless, knowing that Qi Zihao is ...... has a marriage contract, regardless of Xi'er's bones are not cold, and openly marries Qi Zihao. Now what kind of peace talks! ”

Yan Chen silently broke King Rui's hand open, patted off the crumbs, poured wine to wash it off, and pulled out a handkerchief from his sleeve to tie King Rui's hand tightly.

King Rui came back to his senses and found that Yan Chen was helping him deal with his wounds, his eyes softened, his eyes lowered to watch Yan Chen's movements, and fell silent.

The original king was also worried, and said in a low voice: "Now Li Mingde in the court is like the head of the ministers, and the military attache is becoming weaker and weaker. The father and emperor were weak and bedridden for many years, and the prince's brother was only a prince after all, and many decrees were difficult to implement. ”

King Rui said astringently: "Could it be the world of the Qi family, but also look at Li Gou's face?" ”

Yan Chen gently placed King Rui's hand on the table and said, "The Li family has been the head of the world since a hundred years ago. As the saying goes, Wu Liguo, Wen Anbang. Now that the new dynasty has been established for less than ten years, if it is too stiff with Wenchen, it may shake the foundation of the country. His Royal Highness King Xingrui has a heavy army in his hands, and he must not easily let go of power. With the heavy military power of His Royal Highness King Rui, the Li family cannot be fearless. ”

The original king glanced at Yan Chen in surprise, and he never imagined that these words of old Cheng holding the country would come from the mouth of a young woman.

King Rui's gaze at Yan Chen softened.

Yan Chen raised his glass to drink, but it was empty. King Rui took the wine glass from her hand, filled it with his own hands, and Yan Chen brought it to his lips and put it down.

Everything came naturally, as if it had always been the case before.

The two of them didn't realize it, the original king thought about himself, but Qi Zhengtian by the door jumped his eyebrows.

Yan Chen said generously: "The Shanrong clan has repeatedly killed my border people and disturbed my Great Xia, and peace talks are absolutely not feasible. The Li family in the DPRK and China seized power, and the military power could not be handed over. If King Rui does not give up, Yan Chen is not talented, but he is also willing to follow King Rui to step on the border pass and wave the grassland! ”

When King Rui heard Yan Chen's words, a sentence of "Xi'er" almost burst out of his mouth. In the world, except for Xi'er, who would do this man's generosity as a woman?

At this moment, even the original king seemed to have an understanding, and suddenly realized how Yan Chen was so similar to Sister Xi'er back then.

Qi Zhengtian was also stunned at the door.

He has always been the shadow of King Rui, from the second son of Qi back then to the current guard of King Rui, and he is also very familiar with Qi Xi.

This voice and demeanor are all similar to Qi Xi.

Shirt Er was stunned when she heard this, and suddenly interjected: "Shirt Er will also go with Miss, kill him and turn his back on his horse!" ”

"Shut up!" Heng Niang shouted.

The solemn and eerie atmosphere was suddenly shattered by this clear children's voice.

Yan Chen said apologetically: "The two highnesses are not strange. This little girl is also pitiful. When his parents went to the border pass, they were robbed by mountains on the road, and both died. Leaving the young girl bullied in the clan, she was rescued by Heng Niang. Therefore, there is also a blood feud with the Shanrong tribe. ”

King Rui said softly: "It's okay. The little girl trained by Chen Niang is extraordinary, and her young age is better than the group of wine bags and rice bags in the court. ”

The original king was still in a daze.

Yan Chen thought of the jade pendant, took it out of his sleeve, and gave it to King Rui with both hands: "I didn't look at it in a hurry that day. This is an imperial thing, and it is inconvenient for Yan Chen to accept it. Please take it back. ”

King Rui held the jade pendant with Yan Chen's body temperature in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "That's it!" ”

He took out a seal from his bosom and handed it to Yan Chen: "This is the king's private seal, and it is engraved with the king's words." Chen Niang accepted it, and with this seal, it can be passed through our army without hindrance. ”

Yan Chen hesitated, stretched out his hand to take it, looked down carefully, and the word "Mingyuan" was engraved on the chapter.

King Rui said: "Back then, this king and General Qi Xi grew up together, and Xi'er once gave this king the alias of 'Mingyuan'. When the king is weak, he writes to his father and asks his father to give these two words as the king's table. ”

Yan Chen's eyes swelled slightly, and he bowed his head and said nothing.

King Rui looked at Yan Chen deeply and sighed slightly.

Yan Chen clenched the seal, swallowed the tears that were about to well, and nodded: "Okay!" Yan Chen accepted it! ”

She pulled the bell to call the servant woman to come up, changed the big glass, and said heroically: "The wine is already a thousand glasses less, Yan Chen and the two highnesses will not return if they are not drunk!" ”

The original king generously agreed. King Rui hesitated for a moment, and said resolutely: "Okay! If you don't get drunk, you can't go home! ”

Yan Chen called Heng Niang and asked her to open another table and let them go to eat and drink with the personal guards of the two highnesses.

King Rui waved his hand and asked Qi Zhengtian and the others to retreat with Hengniang. Heng Niang pulled her shirt and called Qi Zhengtian and the others away.

The three of them let go of the drink, and the original king realized that Yan Chen had an amazing amount of alcohol.

Yan Chen's eyes became brighter and brighter the more he drank, and the original king was dizzy.

During the banquet, Yan Chen talked with the original king about the past and the present, and they were very close to each other. Rui Wang's eyes were soft, and he forced Yan Chen to eat some vegetables from time to time, taking care of them meticulously.
