The envoys of Daqi arrived.

According to the general practice, the king personally greeted and held a banquet for them.

After they had drunk, they talked about the main purpose of their visit.

Their purpose is the same as before, that is, they want to be with the king.

What they mean by the king is that they want to marry the eldest princess they care about the most. Not only because the eldest princess is beautiful and capable, but among the other princesses, only the eldest princess's age meets the criteria for marriage.

The other princesses are too young to talk about harmony.

Song Zhiqiu also immediately said that because of some accidents before, his father and his second brother died, and they couldn't get along.

He himself already had someone he liked, and made a vow that he would never marry another woman again for the rest of his life.

He could not break his promise.

He also doesn't want to spoil the relationship between the two countries, and if he has to be the core, he can choose the best young talent in the country and the princess and the eldest princess.

If the other party thinks it is not suitable, you can also choose a woman with a slightly less noble status to come to them and kiss.

The envoy was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect this to be the case.

They only came to talk about things with the intention of their king, and if they couldn't make up their minds for a while, they had to leave it alone.

They decided to take a break from the Flying Pigeon and go back to see what their king meant.

Their status does not mean that they are unhappy on the spot, but it can also be seen that they are very unhappy.

They came from afar and wanted to talk about harmony, but they didn't expect to be rejected like this.

Harmony is not just a marriage between a man and a woman, but also a bond of friendship between the two countries.

Song Zhiqiu easily rejected the matter between them and the princess, and did not have much sincerity to ally with them.

The ministers were also very dissatisfied with this matter, and expressed their opinions one after another when they went to court.

thinks that even if the king wants to marry the woman he likes, he can marry the princess and the princess.

It's just that the king has to wronged his own woman first, and the princess can't be small, only the princess. Let the woman he likes be small, and he can also be his side princess.

Although the two people are the princess and the side, the princess can also sit on an equal footing in the palace.

The main thing is to sit and watch the others, so as not to fall into the tongue.

Song Zhiqiu did not agree with such an approach. After staying for two days, the envoy went back in a carriage.

It would take some time for their lord to receive a reply, and they were gone, apparently something had changed.

Such behavior could not help but make the ministers of the court feel a little uneasy.

If they give up the matter of making peace with the pro-family, they may go to other countries and relatives, which is quite unfavorable for them.

Maybe when the time comes, they will still hold grudges and unite with other countries to fight their country.

Since the last war, the four countries have been at peace for 15 or 6 years, and there have been no major wars.

Since history, a long time must be divided, and a long time must be united.

There is a war in the four countries of them, and sooner or later it will come.

Song Zhiqiu faced this group of ministers, although he always maintained his majesty, his face did not change.

When he was alone, he felt very uncomfortable thinking about the faces of those people.

Feeling a little tired, he reached out and covered his forehead.

The old eunuch's face was pale, and he hurried over. "It's not good that something happened to the king!"

"Every time I'm in such a hurry, what's going on?"

"Didn't the king set the day after tomorrow again, seeing that the time was about to come, the old minister took a few people to check the things that had been prepared before...... Halfway through the road, I saw thick white smoke rising from the palace not far away, and when I walked in, I realized that those things were on fire! ”

"How could such a thing happen?"

Song Zhiqiu's face suddenly became embarrassed.

He also thought that no matter what happened, he would leave it alone for the time being, and the most important thing at the moment was to complete the wedding.

Give an account to the person you like.

I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen suddenly, and all the things I had prepared before were in vain and were wiped out by a fire.

"The old minister doesn't know, it's just that the palace maid on duty was negligent for a while, and the fire spread to the point of no return......"

"What's going on? Did everything burn out? ”

"When people in the neighborhood found out about the fire, they immediately ran to put out the fire, and some things were taken out at risk, but most of them were burned."

"I see."

Song Zhiqiu then followed the old eunuch to the scene, most of the warehouse had been burned to black, and only two or three boxes of things remained.

He immediately asked the old eunuch to count what was burned, and if he could re-prepare, he immediately went to re-prepare, and he couldn't delay the time of the wedding.

On the other hand, this fire came suddenly, maybe someone deliberately played a ghost.

He had people immediately investigate, and everyone who might have been in and out of the warehouse at that time had to be investigated closely, and it was necessary to find out who was behind the fire.

If you dare to go against him so blatantly, you must not let it go easily.

Ling Xiaoning also learned about the accidental fire soon after.

"Then can't the two of us do things on time?"

"This ...... A lot of things have been burned, and it's not impossible to do it if you want to, it's just ...... This must be a little different from the previous plan, and I can only wronged you. ”

Ling Xiaoning lowered his head slightly, not caring very much about the things that were burned, but worried about the people who set fire behind him.

If these arsonists want to prevent two people from getting married, they must do more than that, and I don't know what hateful acts they will do next.

Song Zhiqiu was naturally very aware of this, and reached out to hold his hand.

"You don't have to worry about me going to have people strengthen their defenses these days, especially since you have to be careful not to let anything happen. I will also investigate as soon as possible who is behind the trick, and I will never let him succeed! ”

After some investigation, it was learned that there was a fire in the warehouse at that time, and there was only one palace maid in the warehouse.

The palace maid had an accident in the fire, and no one knew the details of the fire.

After inspection, it was found that the palace maid had traces of violent impact before, apparently after being deliberately knocked unconscious, she was thrown into the fire and burned alive.

It can also be seen that this fire was indeed caused by someone deliberately setting the fire.

Maybe the person who set the fire has already set his sights on this place, and as long as he continues to investigate, he will find out all the clues.

On the other hand. Song Zhiqiu also asked people to quickly re-prepare for the wedding, some red satin, and other things.
