"Your Majesty, today's envoys from the Northern Wei Dynasty have come to see us, and our disciples have heard that the people of Wei are good at riding and shooting, and even children of a few years old can get on horses and bend bows, so today we want to ask the envoys for a few tricks." Wei Rui, the prince of King Jing's Mansion, stepped forward and bowed to His Majesty.

"Your Majesty, we are not here to compete in martial arts this time, Weichen has never brought a warrior with him, please forgive your Majesty." The envoys of the Northern Wei Dynasty did not wait for Emperor Jin to answer, and preemptively spoke. He knew in his heart that the reason why Emperor Jin neither agreed to make peace nor refuse, was because he wanted to give Da Wei a dismount, and now there are disciples of the gate valve who come out to challenge, this battle, if he loses, he will give people a handle, it seems that Da Wei is not as good as Da Jin, if he wins, he is afraid that he will make Emperor Jin lose his face, and he will refuse to make peace, so the best way now is to refuse this challenge.

Seeing that the envoys of the Northern Wei Dynasty were about to retreat, Emperor Jin's eyebrows frowned slightly, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes. Seeing that Emperor Jin was slightly unhappy in his heart, he hurriedly stopped the envoy's words, "The envoy is too modest, who doesn't know that your warriors of the Northern Wei Dynasty can fight well, Emperor Wei's three sons-in-law are all fierce generals on the battlefield, and the general Sima An brought by the envoy this time is a general who rides alone (jì) for thousands of miles, these young talents in the capital of the Great Jin Emperor are just admiring the prestige of the warriors of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and they are not allowed to meet on the battlefield, so they hope to come and kiss through the envoys, Please ask the warriors of the Northern Wei Dynasty to teach you a few tricks! The prince happily pointed his fingers in the hall, and generally smiled and looked at the envoys of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

The envoy secretly rejoiced in his heart, and it was all flattery, even if he wanted to refuse, there was no reason for a while. In desperation, the envoys of the Northern Wei Dynasty had no choice but to grit their teeth and squeeze out a smile that seemed to be smiling, "Okay, since you want to learn, then Weichen is not good at sweeping the interest of your sons, but since we are guests, please also ask your sons to stop, so as not to hurt anyone by General Sima, it will not be good." ”

Although this is saying that they hope to have a sense of proportion, when a clear-eyed person hears it, it simply means that their Northern Wei Dynasty will definitely win, and even if it is really defeated, it has already left room for them, because General Sima was afraid of hurting his son and damaging the harmony between the two countries, so he endured the humiliation and defeated the battle. The Xiangguo of the Northern Wei Dynasty really lived up to its reputation, and his ability to speak well was simply superb.

"Then what are you still doing in a daze, please General Sima for advice."

A man with a white face wearing a jujube red and gold cloak stood up first, and gestured to General Sima to come out to fight. Looking closely, he was wearing a snow-white robe embroidered with elegant bamboo leaf patterns, revealing the trim of silver hollow hibiscus flowers, and the jade belt around his waist and the mutton fat jade hairpin on his head complemented each other, skillfully highlighting the extraordinary figure of a gorgeous nobleman. The hearty smile is quite a bit of a merry boy. The chin is slightly raised, and the middle of the apricot-shaped eyes is like a galaxy of brilliant brilliance.

"Who is this?" The envoy of the Northern Wei Dynasty did not wait for General Sima to get up, and asked first.

"Under the fourteenth prince of Dajin, Yuan Xiu, I also ask General Sima for advice." Yuan Xiu reported his name again and motioned for General Sima to come out to fight.

I saw that the envoy of the Northern Wei Dynasty listened to Yuan Xiu's self-report, and immediately wrinkled his already curly and somewhat messy eyebrows, he glanced sideways at Sima An, and his face was calm and did not say a word.

Sima An instantly understood the envoy's intentions, took a step forward with his head held high, Gong Jin saluted Yuan Xiu with a fist, and then spoke very slowly, "The first time I came to this golden capital, the road was far away, and I was a little tired for a while. ”

This envoy of the Northern Wei Dynasty was clever and eloquent, but he didn't expect that this battlefield hero was also a person with a deep understanding of the city. As soon as he said that he was tired, it was not good to persuade him to fight more, but it was a pity to see the opportunity to put pressure on the Northern Wei Dynasty slip away like this.

"Since the envoys of the Northern Wei Dynasty came to make peace for Emperor Wei this time, they must also hope to be able to marry the beautiful relatives of our Dajin Kingdom, but with the respect of the princess, marrying the Northern Wei Dynasty really makes His Majesty feel distressed, it is better to let our Dajin select three warriors with high martial arts to compete with General Sima of the Northern Wei Dynasty, so that the princesses of the right age can watch the battle in the backyard, so that the princesses can learn more about the Northern Wei Dynasty, if any princess admires the heroic posture of the warriors of the Northern Wei Dynasty, you can recommend yourself to the emperor and become a princess of Heqin, This also saves the emperor from being in a dilemma about which princess to choose to go to and kiss. As soon as the words fell, Liu Chun saw a faint smile almost imperceptible on the corner of the Golden Emperor's mouth, and suddenly knew that his opinion had won the joy of the Golden Emperor, and his heart was very happy, and he narrowed his eyes proudly, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes. Then he said, "Of course, this time is just a competition in the ring, just to give the princesses a reference, and the envoys of the Northern Wei Dynasty and General Sima should not have too much pressure." ”

"That's right, it's a martial arts competition, I heard that General Sima is as famous as your Emperor Wei's beloved son-in-law Nangong Chen, just through this competition, let me see General Sima's swordsmanship in the world, what do you think of the Northern Wei envoys?" Emperor Jin once again asked the envoy's opinion in a tone that could not shirk the change.

When the envoys of the Northern Wei Dynasty heard that there was no room for maneuver, they had no choice but to respond with hesitation.

"Okay, since the envoys of the Northern Wei Dynasty and General Sima are in favor of this competition, then arrange for a competition in front of the north gate of Jindu three days later." Emperor Jin happily arranged the ring competition three days later.

"Your Majesty, you see that although we are here to make peace, we are full of sincerity in the friendship between Emperor Wei and your country, and I heard that Dajin has always been a state of etiquette, and the sons of the gate lords are all gentle and elegant Confucian talents, we are guests from afar, and Weichen has a reluctant request, and I hope Your Majesty will approve it." The envoy of the Northern Wei Dynasty is really clever and calculating, seeing that above this court, Emperor Jin and the ministers in front of the palace have forced themselves and Sima An into the ring with a word, but they still have to make the last dying struggle.

Emperor Jin looked at the envoy of the Northern Wei Dynasty, thinking to himself What tricks do you have, he didn't rush to make a sound, his forehead was slightly upturned, and his right hand gently brushed the beard that was not too long.

"Your Majesty, Weichen just thinks that General Sima is really a little lacking in accepting the challenge of the three warriors of Dajin alone, if there is no reward, I am afraid it will be difficult to show General Sima's true strength." The envoy of the Northern Wei Dynasty said softly and slowly, while showing a treacherous smile, some yellow-brown eyes were extremely deep, making people feel creepy.

"Then how do the envoys want to reward them?" Yuan Xiu asked angrily, it seemed that he couldn't hold back his emotions, and he couldn't wait to grab the collar of the Northern Wei envoy and give him a few slaps hard, the blood-red silk lines in his eyes shrank through his pupils, and he could see it very clearly.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the best reward is to marry the most desirable princess for our emperor, if General Sima wins, Your Majesty will ask for permission, and our Great Wei will select the candidate for the princess, Your Majesty thinks this is good?" This envoy of the Northern Wei Dynasty is really thoughtful, and he can find a trace of interest in the short-term changes in the court, and play it so vividly, which is really admirable.

Although Emperor Jin knew that in this way, he would be dominated by the Northern Wei Dynasty, if Sima An was really allowed to win, not only should he agree to make peace, but also choose someone by them, but if he regretted it at this time, he would be ridiculed by the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the default Dajin technique was inferior. Emperor Jin still didn't answer, but still gently stroked his beard, which was neither long nor short, with a smile on his face that was neither deep nor shallow, and his eyes narrowed slightly, no one could see what was going on behind his deep eyes.

There was silence in the hall for a long time, and after a cup of tea, Emperor Jin finally opened his mouth, "This competition is bound to win, if General Sima can really win three games in a row, then it will be according to the envoy's request." Although Emperor Jin agreed to the request of the envoys of the Northern Wei Dynasty, his eyes showed displeasure, and his already tired face looked even more pale. The corner of his eyes swept over the people in the hall, his eyes were slightly closed, and he waved his right hand, "Let's stop here today, I'm afraid the envoys of the Northern Wei Dynasty and General Sima are also tired." ”

"Retreat!" A bright but somewhat shrill voice suddenly sounded, and Chen Gonggong, who was standing on the side, announced his intention to retreat from the court, waved the dust in his hand, walked over softly and slowly to help Emperor Jin, and slowly returned to the harem from the west side of the court.

The ministers of the Manchu dynasty above the main hall also dispersed. Only Liu Chun, who was standing in the corner, did not move, and a smile appeared slightly on the corner of his mouth that people couldn't notice at all.
