Chapter 157 Borrowing troops to buy horses
Beiming Feiye's movements were very fast, and when he put the contract in duplicate, he gave the jade pendant and the token he wore by his side to Scarlet Smoke.
"Okay, according to the agreement, you will help me settle things first, and when the matter is resolved, I received the news in the northern country, and I will naturally give you what you want."
Scarlet Yan knew it, took the token and the jade pendant, and planned to leave with Yu Chimu, who greeted Bei Ming Feiye, and the two planned to leave.
Bei Ming Fei Ye finally stopped them, "Remember that things should not be rushed, no matter whether your mind changes or not, I only know one thing in Bei Ming Fei Ye, a promise, okay, you go, I am waiting for you to give me a good result." ”
Scarlet Smoke raised his hand, but he didn't look back, "Okay, Your Highness, I know, anyway, there are your eyeliner all around, you don't have to worry about us, the rivers and lakes are far away, say goodbye." ”
"Your Highness farewell." Wei Chimu saluted politely.
Beiming didn't return at night, but there was only one person in his eyes, and he ignored Wei Chimu.
The reluctance in his eyes was suppressed by him, and he could only watch the figure of the pair of beautiful people go farther and farther, he looked at this huge imperial city, raised his hand, and turned back to the study.
There are some things that he does envy, but some people are born with other ways to go, not to mention, the first person Scarlet Yan met is not him.
The two of them left the city gate, and Scarlet Yan saw that Wei Chimu's face was a little bad, so he pulled his sleeves and said in a coquettish tone, "Are you angry, why are you so unhappy?" ”
Yu Chimu shook his head, retracted his emotions, and his eyes were as deep as ever, "No, I'm fine." ”
At the end, he said, "Now we are going to go to Xiqin first, as far as I know, Linglong should be in Xiqin, right?" ”
Scarlet Yan thought that she hadn't seen Linglong for a long time, and her eyes were full of excitement at this time, she nodded, "Yes, Linglong is the little princess of Xiqin Kingdom, and she should still be in Xiqin Country now. ”
Yu Chimu smiled, he was not surprised at all by Scarlet Yan's question, "I think there is a hidden secret, but the Xiqin Kingdom is arguing on the basis of reason, and the people are surprisingly united, so the northern country did not succeed, speaking of which, the Xiqin Kingdom also has its own backbone." ”
Scarlet Yan also agreed with Wei Chimu's thoughts, "Okay, let's go, slower times, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up, there are people in the south staring, if the opportunity is taken by Wei Xian, it will really be a little depressing." ”
Wei Chimu soothed, "Okay, don't think too much, not everything, we can all take it into account, Wei Xian is only sitting in that position now, and he still doesn't dare to make too many moves." ”
The fire had already prepared the carriage, and several people prepared some dry food and water for the road, and then hurriedly left the northern country, which was in the southwest of the northern country, and the journey was three days, and they had to pass through the desert, and then through the oasis, they could reach the western country.
Three days later, several people rushed to Xiqin Kingdom, passing by the yellow sand, several people were not stained with a little sand, and they were still clean and neat.
Scarlet Smoke and the others have the token of the prince of the Northern Kingdom in their hands, and the guards here know Scarlet Smoke, so she personally sent the envoy, but it was not too much of a loss.
The guards placed Scarlet Smoke and the others in the courtyard, and prepared a large table of meals for them, Scarlet Smoke had long heard of the enthusiasm of the people here, but at this time, she was flattered to treat them like this.
Yu Chimu looked indifferent, took the teacup not far away and poured a cup of tea, this tea was freshly boiled, so it was spread at this time, and he smelled a fresh fragrance of tea.
It seems that the attitude of this Xiqin Kingdom is still good, and Wei Chimu is worried about whether this Linglong princess can make sense, although he knows that Scarlet Yan has a good relationship with her, but he remembers that this Linglong princess seems to be obsessed with Wei Xian.
Can she really leave someone she likes?
He has always been unable to guess the woman's thoughts, but he is becoming more and more incomprehensible in these things, but that's it, anyway, these things now, for him, have long guessed.
"Tired, drink tea."
Scarlet Smoke let out a "hmm", and then said, "I haven't seen Linglong for a long time, I don't know how she is?" ”
"I miss this princess, why don't you come to Xiqin Kingdom to find me, now I have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace?"
Scarlet Yan heard the woman's voice coming, and when she got up and raised her eyes, she saw a slender figure outside the door walking in, holding a palace fan in her hand, covering her appearance, but the eyes were so bright that people couldn't take their eyes off.
Scarlet Smoke was still stunned, Princess Linglong put down the fan in her hand, came to Scarlet Smoke, happily held Scarlet Smoke's hand and said, "You have been away for so long, I thought you had forgotten me a long time ago." ”
Scarlet Yan was also very happy when she saw the old man, and she said helplessly, "It's not that there are many things in the south of the country, this time I came to you to discuss some things with you." ”
Princess Linglong is also a cheerful person, she glanced around, waved her hand, and said coldly, "Okay, you all go down for me, this princess has something important to say to her good sisters!" ”
Everyone went down, leaving only Yu Chimu and his two guards, Princess Linglong's eyes fell on Yu Chimu's body, "You were heartbroken because of him in the first place?" ”
Scarlet Smoke remembered the previous misunderstandings, and he hadn't come to explain to Linglong yet, so he said curtly at this time, "It's because of him, but I misunderstood it myself, okay, I'll explain it to you later." ”
Yu Chimu was also conscious, and understood that Princess Linglong wanted to talk to Scarlet Smoke alone, so she left, and after Yu Chimu left, Princess Linglong came to Scarlet Smoke and said happily.
"You're finally here, I thought you forgot about Princess Ben, this palace is so boring."
Scarlet Yan stroked Linglong's head a little helplessly, "Okay, you are so gentle, cute and beautiful, but everyone's precious princess, where can you be bored, but Linglong, I have something I want to discuss with you." ”
Linglong raised her eyebrows, and said bluntly, "Is it something related to the northern kingdom?" ”
Scarlet Yan was a little surprised, but she didn't expect Linglong to ask like this, after all, she just guessed correctly.
"Yes, it has something to do with the northern country, the power of the northern country is getting stronger and stronger, I have some personal relations with the future monarch of the northern country, I think if the Xiqin country can belong to the northern country, I think it will be a good thing."
Scarlet Smoke just said what she thought, Linglong's mind is clean, and she has dealt with a lot in political affairs, so these things, tell her directly, as for how she decides, Scarlet Smoke is not easy to force.
"Scarlet Smoke is entrusted by others, but it doesn't matter, I also think that Xiqin is troublesome to manage, and now there are many foreign enemies invading, and I really need a backer, but Scarlet Smoke, you could have let me belong to the South, why ......"
Scarlet Yan was slightly stunned, and only then did he confirm that the person in front of him really didn't know about the recent things in Nanguo.
"The southern country is now occupied by Wei Xian, he changed the name of the southern country to Nan'an, you should know, Wei Xian's heart is not right, it is too late for us to go back, at this time we can only rely on the power of the northern country, it is just an agreement with the monarch of the northern country, if Xiqin is willing to belong to the northern country, he will help us."
Linglong heard Wei Xian's name, the corners of her lips that were originally smiling, the smile slowly dissipated, leaving only boundless indifference, I haven't heard this name for a long time, this person is really no different from the past.
It seemed that something was urgent, Linglong covered her somewhat uncomfortable eyes, forced a smile, and said, "Okay, from today on, Xiqin Kingdom will belong to the Northern Kingdom, as long as the Northern Kingdom agrees to me on one condition, I will immediately let people send the jade seal back." ”
"Say, whatever the conditions, as long as they are not too excessive, I can agree on his behalf."
Scarlet Yan looked at Linglong inquiringly, and the latter thought about it and said, "In the past three years, we must protect the people of my Xiqin country, and we must not abandon the people of my Xiqin country for any reason, and even if it is a vassal country, we can offer silver and cloth, but the people of the northern country can't suppress us, and the most important thing is that Scarlet Yan, I want his life Wei Xian." ”
There was a struggle in Linglong's eyes, when Wei Xian abandoned him, she was ridiculed in the palace, thinking of those days, she was disheartened, but fortunately, everything was over.
"Okay, I'll do it."
Scarlet Smoke was hugged tightly by Linglong, she touched his head comfortingly, and let her hold it, but she could feel the woman next to her, and she was already in tears at this time.
Scarlet Smoke only stayed in Xiqin Country for two days, the time was too tight, Linglong did not delay Scarlet Smoke, found what she wanted, and gave Scarlet Smoke to protect herself.
Scarlet Smoke can also be regarded as a successful persuasion of Xiqin Kingdom, although Linglong wants Scarlet Smoke to stay as a guest, but now she knows a lot about the form of the southern country, and she also understands that Scarlet Smoke's time is running out.
"Take care."
When Scarlet Smoke left, Linglong stuffed the things in her hand into Crimson Smoke.
"These medicines can be used in an emergency, if someone gives you medicine, take some, I hope it won't be used when I get there, in short, Scarlet Smoke, I look forward to the next time we meet."
Scarlet sighed, she thought about it so thoroughly, she was also grateful to Princess Linglong, she didn't want such a sad goodbye, so she said happily to Linglong.
"Okay, we'll meet again, and I'll come to see you when everything is settled."
"It's a deal."
Linglong's eyes are full of expectation, although now that Xiqin has a guarantee and a backer, there are many things that are still outside the scope of Linglong's consideration.
Scarlet Smoke got into the carriage, and Wei Chimu was already waiting for her there, "Okay, we'll come back again." ”
Scarlet Smoke let out a "hmm", "Okay, but do you know why she would want to be a vassal of the Northern Kingdom?" ”
"Because of one person?"
"Yes, Wei Xian."
Thinking of all the things at the beginning, Scarlet Smoke is not worth it for Princess Linglong.
