660 Beauty
,
Not only Cen Yin, but Duanmu Fei was also looking at Duanmu Jun, her eyes were burning, and she felt that her sister was as heroic and sassy as the Mulan with a bow in the painting, and her spirit was flying, which made her can't help but have some itchy hands and wanted to put her sister in the painting.
"Sister, would you like to try this new bow?" Duanmu Fei proposed with great interest.
Cen Yin casually drew a feather arrow from the quiver and handed it to Duanmujun, who naturally took the feather arrow he handed over.
The question is, what is good to shoot?!
Duanmujun looked around for half a circle, and his eyes fell on a plum forest next to the official road not far away, and the clusters of bright red plums were in full swing, gorgeous and proud.
Reminds her of him!
Duanmujun's hand subconsciously moved, setting arrows, hooking strings, and opening bows...... The series of movements is as beautiful as flowing clouds, and the bowstring is like a full moon.
"Whoosh!"
The feathered arrow burst out of the string and shot out towards the Merlin, like lightning piercing the air......
In the next moment, the feather arrow had already hit a thin plum branch, and the plum branch broke off......
"......
The plum tree that was shot shook like a weed trembling in the wind and rain, and the dense red petals fell like rain, like a goddess scattering flowers.
Duanmu Jun galloped towards that side with a bow in his hand, and with a copy of it, the broken plum branch happened to fall into her hand, and the jade-like petals fell on her hair and clothes, which was as beautiful as a painting.
Duanmu Fei was stunned, his eyes brightened, and several compositions appeared in his heart at once, and he had the urge to go home and paint them now.
Cen Yin was also stunned, and he didn't even react when Duanmu Jun rode his horse in front of him and handed him the red plum.
"Master Cen ." Duanmujun handed the red plum branch another inch to him.
This time, Cen Yin reacted and subconsciously took the flower, and his narrow eyes were full of brilliance.
She, just like the red plum in this harsh winter, the colder it is, the more delicate it blooms.
Cen Yin raised his eyes to look at Duanmu, who was not close to him, his thin lips opened slightly, and before he could speak, he heard a sudden messy and rapid sound of horses' hooves behind him.
"Childe! Son! ”
In the direction of the city gate, the little scorpion rode a horse, and the expression on his delicate face was very solemn.
Cen Yin looked at the little scorpion and frowned slightly.
Before the horse stopped, the little scorpion had already grabbed the horse rope and clenched his fists and said, "...... Childe, there is an emergency military situation in Jinju! ”
The cold wind on the official road suddenly became more violent, and it penetrated into the neckline like a snake, cold and damp.
The little scorpion moved his gaze downward, not daring to look at Cen Yin.
Duanmufei and Duanmujun glanced at each other, and they both chuckled in their hearts. They all knew that Cen Yin would not be able to hunt in the winter now.
Since the military situation in Jinzhou is so urgent that the little scorpion deliberately came to chase Cen Yin, it is obviously 100,000 urgent!
"Master Cen, go ahead." Duanmujun took the initiative to wave goodbye to Cen Yin, and said with a smile, "But you missed the appointment this time, and you will have to pay next time." ”
"Then I'll be out of company first!" Cen Yin arched his hand goodbye to the sisters, and he didn't know whether he was disappointed or relieved.
He pulled the horse's rope and turned the horse's head, then clamped the horse's belly, and rode the horse in the direction of the city under the sisters' gaze, the little scorpion following closely behind him.
The two went back to Zhongshao Street all the way non-stop.
Cen Yin's return made Dongchang commotion, welcoming the welcome, saluting, and serving tea...... A small chamberlain brought the young general who had come to deliver the military news to a hall.
"See Overseer."
The young general's face was dusty, and he knelt down on one knee and saluted Cen Yin.
Cen Yin sat on the Taishi chair at the top, his eyes unconsciously looked at the red plum branch inserted in the vase on the side, and said concisely: "Say it." ”
The young general immediately said:
"Governor, Jinju Taikang City was captured by a group of bandits called Jinjiazhai in the middle of last month."
"After Jinjiazhai occupied Taikang City, the enclosure was the king, and the owner of the village, Jin Changyi, proclaimed himself the 'righteous king', and Taikang City was expanding outward, and several nearby towns were included in his pocket. Some other small villages have taken refuge in Jinjiazhai. ”
"Jin Changyi was afraid that the news would reach the capital, so he smashed two post stations near Taikang City, and a post road was cut off, during this period of time, Taikang City and Taikang City's letters and official documents to the south of the city were temporarily affected, so the news of the capture of Taikang City did not reach the capital for a long time."
After the young general finished the ceremony, he maintained a kneeling posture on one knee and did not dare to look up at Cen Yin.
The hall fell silent as his words fell, and he could only hear his own heartbeat echoing in his ears clearly, and time passed especially slowly at this time.
After a while, he heard Cen Yin's unhurried voice coming from above: "What about Chief Wu and Master Zhang?" ”
The young general immediately replied: "General Wu and Master Zhang are still in Datong City in southern Jinnan, and they have subdued more than a dozen small villages around them in the past few months. ”
Cen Yin elegantly brushed the floating leaves on the tea soup with the tea lid, and his eyes flashed slightly, revealing a bit of thought.
For the Jinzhou Rebellion, with the troops that Wu Yanping brought to Jinzhou at the beginning, it was not enough to exterminate the big cottages such as Jinjiazhai and Taichuzhai, so from the beginning, the plan of the imperial court was to let Wu Yanping and Zhang Wenche slowly figure it out in Jinzhou, first divide and subdue those small villages, and temporarily move the two big villages, but beware of them continuing to sit big.
Cen Yin slowly took a shallow sip of hot tea, just squinted at the little scorpion, and the little scorpion understood what he meant, and let the little general go out.
Cen Yin turned his head to look at the red plum in the vase again, and suddenly asked, "How is Xiao Tian doing?" ”
For Xiao Tian's affairs, the little scorpion really knows a little, firstly, because Xiao Tian is from Taichuzhai, and secondly, because the overseer has an inexplicable concern for this Xiao Tian.
"After Xiao Tian returned to Jinzhou, Taichu Village also continued to expand, and subdued some surrounding villages by means of Huairou."
At the same time as the little scorpion spoke, he also sighed a little in his heart: Now the power of Jinzhou can be said to be divided into three shares, one is Jinjiazhai, one is the imperial army represented by Wu Zongbing, and the other is Taichuzhai, all three are expanding their territory and power, and the means they take are completely different.
Jinjiazhai is bloody and barbaric, Wu Zongbing is gracious and powerful, and Taichuzhai is chivalrous and convincing.
"Not long ago, the people of Taichuzhai and Jinjiazhai were still facing each other in Hexia Town...... It was Jinjiazhai who took people to Hexia Town to pull people's heads, forcing people into the cottage, and the people of Taichuzhai rushed to the village when they heard the news, so they fought a fight, and the people of Jinjiazhai also suffered a small loss. The little scorpion said again.
This Taichu village can develop to this point, naturally not all by "chivalry" and "Huairou", if there is no real ability, it is impossible to survive in Jinzhou, where the mountain bandits are troubled.
Cen Yin fell into deep thought again, and his slender fingers gently rubbed twice on the armrest of the Taishi chair.
Originally, with the chaotic situation in Jinju, the best way was to provoke the two stockades to fight among themselves, and for the imperial court, they could reap the benefits of the fishermen.
But......
Cen Yin raised his eyes and looked out of the hall, the sky was blue and cloudless.
But because Ah Yan cares a lot about Xiao Tian, and the two sisters of Xiao Tian and Duanmu get along well, they ......
Cen Yin narrowed his eyes, and there was no bottom in his narrow eyes.
After a while, Cen Yin stood up from the chair, picked up the red plum and said, "This seat will write a letter later, and you will have someone take it to Jinzhou and hand it over to Zhang Wenche." ”
"Yes, Overseer." The little scorpion clenched his fists and took his life.
Cen Yin walked out of the hall and stopped under the eaves, the red plum turned unconsciously between his fingers, and he was a little hesitant in his heart. Does he want to go out of the city, it's only halfway through now, and they should still be playing at this time.
I wonder if she can still use the new bow?
"Quack!"
At this moment, there was a commotion in the treetops in front of him, and a blackbird spread its wings and swooped towards him, causing the little chamberlain who was supposed to put on the cloak for Cen Yin to freeze for a moment, and the open cloak also stopped in mid-air.
The little starling didn't look at others, flapping his wings and flying around Cen Yin again and again.
"Quack!"
"Young!"
The little starling's "untimely death" was meaningless to listen to other people's ears, but Cen Yin knew that it was calling Duanmu Xuan, and the corners of his lips were slightly curled, and he was full of brilliance.
The little chamberlain holding the cloak silently put away the cloak, stepped back, and said in his heart: The overseer really loves the four girls, and treats the birds raised by the four girls as his own......
Cen Yin pointed to his left shoulder, and the little starling "croaked" again, skillfully landing on his shoulder, a pair of bird claws firmly gripping the fabric of his shoulder.
Cen Yin didn't care at all, and his slender fingers scratched his chin, "Since you're homesick, go home." ”
The little starling lowered his head and pecked at the fine feathers under his wings, and then jumped happily on his shoulder, shouting, "Marry!" Marry! ”
The little waiter tilted his head, thinking that the little starling was talking about "home", and said in his heart: The overseer is really powerful, even the bird's mind can be seen through, and he knows that it is homesick!
Cen Yin was stunned, and looked at the little starling on his shoulder and stared wide.
It's, it's saying......
There are not many words in the little starling club, and the left and right words are repeatedly played, and this word has been said many times.
Cen Yin didn't care about it before, and he didn't understand what it meant, but at this moment, he suddenly understood it as if he were helped.
It turned out that the word starling said was not "home", not "driving", not "fake", but "marrying".
Cen Yin was stunned, his expression was in a trance, and the girl's bright and moving face appeared in front of him, and his heartbeat accelerated little by little.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The heart was so fast that it almost jumped out of the chest.
Seeing Cen standing stupidly ignoring himself, the little starling flapped his wings and flew away again, shouting the word "marry" repeatedly while flying.
When he didn't know it before, Cen Yin didn't care about it, but at this moment, when he heard the little starling screaming like this, his ears were heating up little by little.
"Get it back!" Cen Yin hurriedly pointed at the little starling and commanded.
Yes?! Not only was the little chamberlain dumbfounded, but even a few Dongchang fans nearby who heard the sound were also stunned.
The fourth girl, the starling, often follows the overseer, from Dongchang to Jinyiwei to the palace, almost everyone knows it, and they also know that the overseer loves this starling very much.
The superintendent has always been troubled by this starling, even if this starling smashed the antiques, damaged the famous peony Wei Zi, and stole the precious medicinal herbs...... I've never bothered with it, why did the Overseer suddenly order it to be arrested today?!
I was puzzled, but no one dared to question Cen Yin's orders, and several Dongchang fans immediately surrounded the direction in which the little starling flew away.
"Quack!"
How could the little starling stand stupidly and wait for someone to catch it, flapping his wings and flying higher.
A few Dongchang fans hurriedly went to catch birds, some climbed trees, some climbed over walls, some jumped on roofs, some stacked arhats, and some shouted: "Hurry up and get nets and bamboo poles!" ”
"That's right, catch it with a net!"
"And, go get some of his favorite food!"
“……”
Several Dongchang fans were in a mess, and after a while, they were sweating profusely.
In fact, it is not difficult to catch a bird, the easiest way is to shoot the bird down with a bow and arrow or slingshot, but the problem is that this bird is the bird of the fourth girl, and it must not hurt a feather of this little ancestor.
The little starling was so happy to see so many people "playing" with it, it stopped in the treetops for a while, flew to the wall for a while, hovered in mid-air for a while, and jumped on the roof for a while, from "married", "young", "true", "bad", ...... Impatiently, he flaunted all the words he could say.
Cen Yin looked at it, his face was expressionless, the roots of his ears were even hotter, revealing a faint pink, and he said in his heart: The little girl is right, this bird is going to take care of it!
In the midst of the chaos, a capable Dongchang fan came in a hurry, still holding a thin bamboo pipe in his hand.
Seeing the chaotic scene in this courtyard, the visitor was stunned, his expression was complicated, and he almost pinched his thighs.
This is the East Factory that everyone fears!
Seeing Cen Yin standing under the eaves, the Dongchang Fanzi settled down, stepped forward in three steps and two steps, walked to the bottom of the stone steps, and said to Cen Yin: "Overseer, the flying pigeon from the south is passing the book." ”
As he spoke, he raised his hands and presented the sealed thin bamboo tube in his hand.
South. Cen Yin raised his eyebrows, and immediately understood that this was Feng Yan's side.
He took the bamboo pipe, quickly opened the lid of the wax, and took out a long piece of silk paper folded into it. After opening the silk paper, Cen Yin looked at it at a glance, his eyebrows stretched.
Even if Cen Yin didn't say anything, the little scorpion could see that the Overseer was in a good mood.
The little starling was still lingering in the yard, "teasing" those Dongchang fans with great interest, until it saw that someone had brought a long-handled bird net, and then it was so frightened that it ran away.
Cen shook his head with a smile, pinched the silk paper and stood in his hand, raising his eyes to look at the southern sky, his eyes bright and deep.
The letter said that everything was going well in Nanhuai, and the army was about to reach Dayue City, the capital of Nanhuai.
After Feng Yan crossed the Blackwater Swamp and took the southern city of Nanhuairi, he led the army to bypass the Jiuri Mountain and come to the hinterland of Nanhuai unimpeded.
Then, with the Huogun battalion as the vanguard, they captured one city after another, and the army marched all the way south, until now it finally came to the city of Nanhuaidu.
Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible to take down so many cities in Nanhuai so smoothly.
However, because most of Nanhuai's troops were pinned down in the southern border of Dasheng, and the remaining troops were mainly concentrated on the border defense, resulting in insufficient troops in the cities in the hinterland, and Feng Yan and they took shortcuts to sneak into Nanhuai, plus the army was assisted by the magic weapon of firearms, and the speed of attacking the city and plundering the land during this period of time can be called lightning.
Almost when the Nanhuai Imperial Court had just reacted, Feng Yan had already led his army to approach Dayue City, and set up camp twenty or thirty miles away from the capital Dayue City.
In the central tent, Feng Yan sat behind a big case in high spirits, facing five or six soldiers and ordered:
"Pass the order, let the army rest here for the time being!"
"Also, let the scouts sneak into Dayue City to investigate."
"More people are responsible for guarding, patrolling, and sentry inside and outside the camp."
“……”
"Yes, Childe." The soldiers respectfully clenched their fists and promised again and again.
Feng Yan was about to send them to retreat, when a middle-aged soldier opened the curtain of the tent and came in, with a subtle expression, and said: "Son, King Nanhuai has sent an envoy to ask for peace." ”
"Oh?" Feng Yan hooked his lips and smiled with interest, his phoenix eyes were bright, as if he had heard something interesting, "Bring someone here for me to see." ”
The middle-aged soldier retreated, and after a while, there was a sound of messy footsteps approaching from outside the tent.
The curtain was raised again, and several mermaids rushed in, and the middle-aged soldier was the first to come in, followed by a dark-skinned, bearded Nanhuai envoy, and finally into the tent was a Nanhuai woman with deep eyes and a high nose.
The woman looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, with honey-colored skin, full cherry lips, gorgeous and dazzling facial features like delicate red roses, and long thick and slightly curly hair wearing a crown of pearls strung with hundreds of jewels, and the gorgeous crown of pearls set off her deep brown eyes shining like jewels, with a strong exotic style on her body, she was a rare beauty!
"Contemptible Helsin has seen the Generalissimo." Nanhuai's envoy bowed to Feng Yan behind the bookcase, said a standard Dasheng language, and introduced the Nanhuai woman beside him, "This is the eldest princess of my country, Suna." ”
As she spoke, Suna also saluted Feng Yan.
It turned out to be the eldest princess of Nanhuai! Several soldiers in the tent exchanged a subtle look in twos and threes, some speculating, some scrutinizing, some contemptuous, and some amazed......
Helsin always smiled slightly, hiding the shock in his eyes with a smile, he didn't expect that the marshal who commanded this invincible army of Dasheng would be such a young boy.
If he met the young man in front of him elsewhere, he probably only thought that this was just a son from a wealthy background.
"I don't know if the envoy is here, what advice do you have!" Feng Yan looked at Helsing with a smile, and there was no joy or anger on his handsome face.
Helsin swallowed his saliva, smiled more courteously, lowered his posture, and said in a gulliating voice: "Generalissimo, our country and Dasheng are adjacent to each other, like a brother. Our country is willing to marry with Dasheng forever, Dasheng is a brother, and my country is a brother! ”
"My king said that he is willing to sign a peace letter, cede Ninan City, Gangchuan City, Guang'an City, and Guiyi City to Dasheng, pay tribute every year in the future, and never violate the border!"
"If the generalissimo is willing to intercede with the Son of Heaven for our country, my country will definitely remember the generalissimo's 'kindness' and will not 'treat the generalissimo badly'."
Originally, the two countries were at war, even if they negotiated peace, they would not make so many concessions, but now the war situation is really urgent, the Dasheng army has arrived in the capital, and Dahuai will ruin the country at any time. In order not to be the king of the country, King Huai can't take care of these things, even if he cedes the land now, as long as he can keep Dahuai, there will be a comeback one day.
They have reached the point of life and death, and he has come this time to shoulder the fate of Dahuai, no matter what the cost, he must try to convince Dasheng to do it.
Hersin's eyes were firm, and he stretched out his hand and pointed at the eldest princess Suna beside him with a smile, and said: "My king also said that he is willing to promise the first beauty of our country, Princess Suna, to the generalissimo to tie the good of the two countries." ”
A few soldiers on the side looked even more strange, as if to say, sure enough!
"......" Feng Yan raised his right eyebrow, looking at this so-called Nanhuai eldest princess, with an inexplicable expression.
When the two countries fight, the soldiers will inevitably be damaged, for Feng Yan, it is best to be able to take Nanhuai without blood, but what the hell is Nanhuai getting a princess over?!
Suna stood there upright, with a sassy and heroic posture that was a little different from that of Dasheng women, and there was a kind of confidence and arrogance.
Helsin looked at Feng Yan and then at Suna, and he was more confident in this peace talk.
The eldest princess Suna is the brightest pearl in their arms, and they don't know how many men fall under the pomegranate skirt of the eldest princess. But if you are a man, how can you not be tempted?!
Moreover, the other peace conditions they gave were also extraordinarily favorable, and even implied that they would honor Feng Yan personally every year in the future.
They have a saying, people do not destroy the heavens and the earth for their own sake. In the face of huge interests, how could this teenager not be tempted! Hersin's eyes grew brighter and brighter.
Several soldiers in the tent looked at Suna again, their eyes lingered on her delicate face, and they said in their hearts: This princess is good-looking, and if you accept her, the son will not lose.
They secretly exchanged glances, and several soldiers showed that kind of knowing expression.
Next, it depends on what Childe means, will Childe agree?
The soldiers' eyes quickly moved from Suna to Feng Yan in front of them.
The corners of Feng Yan's lips hooked, smiled slightly, and said in an unquestionable tone: "If you want to negotiate peace, you can make peace, your country will be a Dasheng state from now on!" ”
What the?! Helsin's pupils shrank, his face changed slightly, and the smile on his lips almost didn't hold back.
For the Dasheng subject country and the annual tribute to the Dasheng is two completely different things, if Dahuai is a Dasheng state, that is to change the country to the state, and there will be no Dahuai in the future! They are not yet the people of the country!
Several Dasheng soldiers were also surprised, and then there was a feeling that it was really so. This is indeed what Feng Yan would say!
Helsing glanced at Suna quietly, Suna understood, stepped forward half a step, and said softly: "Generalissimo, my father is very sincere with your country...... There is also the generalissimo who negotiated peace. ”
Her Dasheng language is not standard, with a jerky accent, but from a beauty like her, it only makes people feel that there is a different exotic style.
"Please also ask the generalissimo to think about it again, if the generalissimo has any requests, you can just say it, I can go back and discuss with my father."
Suna said softly, smiling brightly, and her beautiful and deep brown eyes looked at Feng Yan without blinking, almost saying that they Nanhuai could carry all kinds of benefits to Emperor Xu Fengyan of Dasheng, as long as Feng Yan was willing to help promote peace between the two countries.
Feng Yan lazily leaned on the high-backed chair behind him, and his tone was light, "I want to negotiate peace, the conditions have already been opened, and now is the unitary time, I will give you three days to think about it." ”
"Sending off!"
Feng Yan always looks like he is always smiling and talking, but in fact, he has always said yes, and these soldiers present have a little understanding of his character.
The middle-aged soldier took two steps forward, blocking between Feng Yan and Suna, with one hand on the scabbard on his waist, and the other hand making a petition, "Two, please!" ”
"......" The smile on Suna's lips froze for a moment, and her face was not very good-looking.
Originally, Suna was sent here by King Nanhuai, and she was a little unwilling in her heart, but for the sake of the country, she could only do this, who made her the princess of a country.
She didn't expect Feng Yan to reject her at all, no man had ever rejected her.
Suna's hands were clenched into fists tightly at the sides of her body, her body was as tight as a tense bowstring, and an unusually strong emotion surged in her heart, like anger, shame, surprise, and unwillingness...... These emotions eventually turned into an aspiration.
