The queue was so long that it took an hour just to enter the city.

The Chishui people walked in the team, they were tall and big, and the Hu clothing system on their bodies was obviously different from that of Dayin Changfu. Most of them move immediately, so their clothes and pants are cut to a closer fit, not as wide as Dayin's clothing.

In the early years, Hufu was introduced to Dayin through caravans, and many tailoring shops made some narrow-sleeved styles similar to Hufu with slight improvements, which were also quite popular among the nobles of the imperial capital. The first emperor once wore such clothes to travel.

And Nadaduo, the leader of the Chishui tribe, has black hair tied into several braids tied at random at the back of his head, dark skin, and a beard, which makes him look a little old-fashioned and steady. But his eyes, as sharp as goshawks, narrowed slightly, and looked at the people on both sides who cast curious glances at him.

Just after passing the city gate, suddenly an object flew from the crowd on the left, and hit the door of Daduo face, and before he could see what it was, he pulled out the scimitar at his waist and blocked it. The blade sliced through it with ease, splitting into pieces of debris that fell on his shoulders and legs, and splattered half of his face with the juice.

He looked down and saw that it was a half-rotten vegetable gang that flew to attack him, and he cut it with a knife, and he didn't know if it was vegetable juice or some other rancid soup, but it splashed half of his body anyway. The centaurs of the Chishui tribe stopped.

"There are assassins! Protect the King! The guard shouted, drawing his long knife and charging into the crowd to capture the Assassin.

This sudden incident caught everyone by surprise, and Ji Changge, Xiao He and others, who had already walked to the front, hurried back when they heard the sound before asking what happened.

The officials of Jingzhao Mansion were also stunned, only to hear someone shouting that there were assassins, and they were also at a loss. Daduo quietly looked at the crowd, slowly sweeping over their faces, or frightened, or confused, or hateful, all kinds of expressions, and for a moment he felt a slight feeling in his heart.

"Where's the Assassin?" Ji Changge got off the horse and approached to check, Xiao He, Duan Heng, Shen Suhang and others followed.

Suddenly, Daduo laughed out loud and waved his hand, "It's okay, it's okay!" My guards made a fuss and frightened the general, guilty of sin. Xiao He saw the vegetable leaf residues scattered on the ground, as well as a faint strange smell in the air, and glanced at the crowd on the side again, and probably understood what was going on.

Shen Suhang also stepped forward to play the round, "King Chishui, please forgive me, these civilians were probably too excited to see the nobles, so they didn't hold the things in their hands." ”

Seeing that he said it easily, Daduo didn't show too much expression on his face, and said with a faint smile: "This lord is right, it's all a misunderstanding, let's just move on, I can't wait to meet Emperor Dayin at this time." ”

Those few people returned to the head of the team and continued to lead the way.

"The king......" Daduo's bodyguard Aguda wanted to say something more, he didn't understand why the king could bear this breath, it was obvious that someone in the crowd threw this rotten vegetable leaf at him, and such a humiliating act was also far-fetched by the officials of Da Yin to explain that he just didn't hold his hand steady, which was really hateful.

"Say no more!" Daduo stopped him softly, his voice was not loud, but his tone was cold, and he was not allowed to say more.

Aguda had no choice but to answer, and continued to ride his horse and follow Dado's side.

Although the war is peaceful now, there are still many people among the people who still have resentment against the Saibei Hu people, because of the war, how many cities in the northwest border of Dayin have suffered, and the caravan has been attacked and suffered heavy casualties. Recalling that in the past few decades, the war between Da Yin and the Saibei Hu people has been intermittent and has never stopped. Although it did not hurt Da Yin's roots, it also failed to get benefits.

Some of these people are young and vigorous, and only by their patriotic enthusiasm will be impulsive to the hostile leader of the Hu clan who came to the dynasty, although they are a little stupid, but they are also excusable. Hatred is not such an easy emotion to dissolve, let alone a blood feud that has lasted for decades.

Xiao He had already learned the skills of this king of Chishui, and when he was called by the rancid vegetable gang, he could not change the color, and he just smiled indifferently afterwards and didn't care. It's not a loss to be the head of the family, and it wasn't all luck that he was able to get the throne back from his uncle.

Now I only hope that he is really as warlike as rumored, and can let Da Yin and Northern Xinjiang enjoy peace for a few more years.

After entering the palace, the entourage was slightly reduced.

Ji Changge, Duan Heng and others dressed in military uniforms went to the hall to pay homage to Mu Churan and report to him. Mu Churan rewarded several of them one by one, and hundreds of officials cast approving glances one after another.

Only then did the king of Chishui Daduo meet was announced.

After Daduo went to the palace, in the eyes of everyone, he walked to the hall and saluted Mu Churan, "Chishui Daduo, I have seen Emperor Dayin!" ”

A civil official next to him spoke, "You can't wait for the king of a clan, why don't you kneel when you see Your Majesty?" ”

Daduo turned to look at the person who spoke, the expression on his face was not happy or angry, his tone was still calm, and his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, "This is the etiquette of our grassland, and I have extended my most sincere greetings to Your Majesty. ”

"The so-called local customs, since you have come to my Dayin, you should follow the rules of Dayin!" The official refused to let go, and insisted on forcing him to make a big bow.

Before Daduo could defend himself, he heard Mu Churan in the palace say slowly: "You are a guest from afar, since you have said that you have expressed your sincerest greetings to me, I believe you." May the two nations henceforth never offend each other and enjoy peace forever. ”

"Your Majesty is worthy of being the Son of Heaven, and he has a lot of bearing, which makes this king admire!" Daduo also took the opportunity to show favor to Mu Churan, greeted him with a few words, and then he put forward the main purpose of his visit, asking to marry a princess, conclude a marriage with Da Yin, and cultivate the good of Qin and Jin.

As soon as Daduo said this, all the ministers were in an uproar, whispering and whispering, but no one raised objections.

It's just that there is only one Mu Qingwan in the palace to be married now, according to her temper, she will never obey the arrangement and kiss, not to mention that Mu Churan is also a little reluctant to marry her sister to a bitter cold place thousands of miles away.

But he really needs to maintain the relationship with the Chishui Ministry at this time, and marriage is the best policy, which can be said to be peaceful without a fight. If Qingwan alone can be exchanged for a hundred years of border security, and only sacrifice her happiness, how many wars and gunpowder smoke can be avoided since then, and how many tragedies of broken families can be saved. As far as the king of a country is concerned, why wouldn't he be happy to make such a decision to sacrifice the small to protect the big?

Only one thought in his heart, ten thousand thoughts were reborn, and Mu Churan's heart was already shaken.

Before Mu Churan could speak, Xiao He, who was among the hundred officials, couldn't hold it back.

This situation reminded her of Li Nankelai, who was also sent to Dayin to make peace. There was a lot of sadness hidden in the girl's innocent smile, and she would rather sneak out of the palace than accept such an arrangement.

The women who were born in the emperor's family were burdened with such a sad fate, sacrificing the happiness of their personal lives, only as a political tool, as a bond to maintain peace, to put it so magnificently, but it was just an excuse for men.

When Mu Churan hesitated a little, Xiao He stood up, and after saluting Mu Churan, he said loudly: "Your Majesty, please allow Weichen to say a word." ”

Mu Churan saw her walk forward, and didn't know what she was planning in her heart, so she raised her hand and said, "What does Aiqing say?" ”

Xiao He turned his head and glanced at Daduo, and continued, "I wonder if this Chishui King is married?" ”

"This king has three concubines and one side concubine, and he has not taken a wife." Daduo smiled slightly, looking at this handsome official, when he entered the city, he felt that this person had a soft face and a temperament like an orchid, if it was a woman, he would have wanted to accept her as a concubine, but it was a pity.

"Since the king already has concubines and concubines, and if he asks to marry the princess, he is not afraid of wronging the princess?" Xiao He asked coldly.

"What do you call this adult?" He looked at Xiao He with interest.

"Xiaguan Xiao He, a scholar of the Fourth Imperial Palace." Xiao He replied.

"It seems that Lord Xiao is worried that the princess will be bullied after marrying into the northern Xinjiang, I can understand Lord Xiao's heart, but please rest assured, after the princess marries this king, I will definitely treat her well and regard her as a wife, if she doesn't like that there are other women in my harem, it is okay to dismiss them all." Dado's answer was unimprovising.

Xiao He smiled, "Since the King of Chishui is so sincere, the lower officials have nothing to say." She turned to Mu Churan and gave a deep skew, and replied, "Your Majesty! It seems that the King of Chishui is sincerely asking to marry the princess, so it is better to let the princess see it in person, and he must also be moved by the sincerity of the King of Chishui. ”

After listening to her words, Mu Churan understood her intention to come forward to specifically question Da Duo, but it was just to retreat and advance, just to lead the last sentence out, so that Mu Qingwan could reject Da Duo in person.

At that time, on the top of the main hall, if Mu Qingwan is unwilling, no matter how sincere he is, I am afraid that he will no longer be able to make it difficult for others, and he will insist on marrying the princess back.

Although Mu Qingjuan's temperament is now a lot softer and docile, she still has a temper, if she is announced to the palace at this time, let her know that she is going to marry her far away to the northern Xinjiang, the object is still such a bearded man. If she has the demeanor of a princess, she will definitely make a big fuss in the palace of diligence.

Mu Churan smiled and sighed in his heart, Xiao He, Xiao He, you want to make trouble for me.

But he also knew that Xiao He really wanted to give Mu Qingwan a chance, a chance to choose by himself.

So, Mu Churan said to Daduo: "It is good for Xiao Qing to propose this intention, but today the King of Chishui came in the dust, and I am afraid that it will be a negative intention to meet in a hurry." It's better to stay in the post house for two days first, and after three days, the palace banquet will be on top of the palace banquet, and then it's not too late to meet the princess. ”

borrowed Xiao He's words, Mu Churan pushed the boat down the river, and did not say whether the marriage would be successful or not, only said that the two of them would meet first, and then what would happen after that, and whether the marriage could be concluded depended on whether the two of them had this fate.

Although Xiao He was a little reckless in stepping forward, she also helped Mu Churan and put these two problems on hold for a while.

After arranging Daduo to the post house in the city, after the courtiers dispersed, Mu Churan went directly to Mu Qingwan's palace, and he had to tell his sister about this in person.
