Chapter 236: Assassination

"No problem, as for the party, there is no need to do it, tomorrow is the emperor's birthday, envoys from various countries come to congratulate, and the families of officials above the fifth grade in the capital will enter the palace to participate in the state banquet, and I will definitely do a good job of propaganda for you when the time comes."

Xu Qingyan was stunned when she heard this, why didn't she hear about such a big thing?

State Banquet!

The emperor's birthday!

Envoys from all over the world are coming!

This sentence is very informative, and the families of officials above the fifth rank have to enter the palace to participate in the state banquet, so what about her?

She now has a second-grade fate, and it stands to reason that she is going to go, but no one informed her.

"That, is there a special notice that the family members of officials above the fifth grade are going to go?"

If there is a special person to notify, she doesn't need to go if she doesn't receive the notice.

The county lord of Xinrou shook his head and said, "No, these are old examples, everyone knows them." ”

But I don't know!

Xu Qingyan is crazy, so do you want to go!

After thinking about it for a while, if she didn't go, she shouldn't know, and no one informed her anyway.

As soon as I changed my mind, I saw the door open, and Xiao Er was coming in with a tray outside the door, and there was a steaming meal in the tray.

Xu Qingyan immediately set her eyes over, and a plate of delicious food with full color and fragrance suddenly turned Xu Qingyan's mind to this.

After Xiao Er served a good dish and withdrew, the county lord of Xinrou hurriedly greeted her and said, "Qingyan, you can taste it quickly, see how about the dish I ordered?" ”

Hearing this, Xu Qingyan unceremoniously took the chopsticks on the side and sandwiched them towards the nearest braised pig's trotters.

This plate of braised pig's trotters is not whole, but cut, so that you don't have to hold it and eat it, so as not to lose your image.

The small bowl next to the pig's trotters was also served with seasoning sauce, and Xu Qingyan put the pig's trotters stained with sauce in her mouth.

"What, how does it taste?" The county lord of Xinrou asked.

"It's delicious, smooth and firm."

Seeing that she was eating happily, the county lord of Xinrou hurriedly greeted again: "Don't just eat this dish, this, and this, you can taste them all." ”

Xu Qingyan smiled when she heard this: "Okay." “

The county lord of Xinrou explained each dish one by one on the side, and commented on the taste of each dish.

Xu Qingyan listened to her introduction while eating, but it was also a special taste.

After introducing all the dishes, the county lord of Xinrou took a sip of tea, and then picked up chopsticks to eat with Xu Qingyan.

Just after two bites, I heard a commotion outside the street.

The two of them were already sitting next to the window, and with the wide open window, they could see the situation of the entire street clearly with just one look.

At this time, a long line passed by on the street, these people were dressed in different costumes from the Great Zhou Dynasty, and they looked like foreigners.

Some people ride horses, some sit in sedan chairs, and some people walk.

Those on horseback surrounded the palanquin in the middle, and at a glance they knew that there were important people inside, and those who rode horses should be the bodyguards and the like.

"They're envoys of all countries, aren't they?" Xu Qingyan looked at the long procession.

"Well, the short ones are Dongyin people, the ones who wear high hats are from Xiqin, the ones who wear blue and white intertwined patterns are Nanqing people, and the burly ones at the front are Beiyi people."

"Oh, then every year on the emperor's birthday, do they come to Beijing to congratulate?"

"No, it's every three years."

Why did they come to Ying Chaohe, could it be that they were vassal states of the Great Zhou Dynasty?

Although she had doubts, Xu Qingyan didn't dare to ask, this kind of thing that might be known to the world in the Great Zhou Dynasty, if she didn't know, it would definitely arouse suspicion.

"Oh." Xu Qingyan replied in a low voice, and then ate.

At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of a sharp weapon breaking through the air.

Xu Qingyan followed the sound and saw a sharp arrow heading towards the sedan chair in the team wearing a high hat.

The sedan chair was a sedan chair for eight people, and through the curtain, a young man could be vaguely seen sitting in the sedan chair.

The speed of the arrow was so fast that the people guarding him didn't have time to react and resist, and the arrow had already rushed in front of the man.

The person in the sedan hurriedly flashed to the side, but he was still shot, but because of his dodging action, he did not hurt the vital point.

But the shoulder was shot through, and it looked pretty miserable.

The people who were originally watching the excitement were suddenly frightened and fled in all directions, and the scene became chaotic for a while.

"Kill, kill."

"Second prince, second prince," the people of the Western Qin Kingdom immediately surrounded him.

The county lord of Xinrou had a solemn face, the second prince of the Western Qin State was attacked in the Zhou Dynasty, regardless of whether this matter was done by the Zhou Dynasty or not, the Zhou Dynasty had to bear this crime.

One bad one may be the origin of the war between the two countries.

Xu Qingyan was thinking about whether to take action to heal him, when she saw the generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty who were guarding the envoys, shouting at the soldiers behind her: "Send someone to ask for the imperial doctor quickly." “

He grabbed the horse's belly, turned the horse, and headed towards Xiqin's team.

Seeing him coming, the envoy of Western Qin was immediately furious, pointed at him and shouted: "What the hell is going on, the second prince was assassinated in the territory of the Great Zhou, if you don't give us an explanation for this matter, my Western Qin Ding and the Great Zhou are not finished." ”

The official in charge of the reception stepped forward and said. "The envoy, please calm down, the top priority is the injury of the second prince, we have sent someone to ask for the imperial doctor, but it is not convenient to diagnose and treat here, the embassy is in front, let's carry the second prince back first."

"As for the assassination, I will definitely find out the truth and give you a satisfactory explanation."

The envoys of Western Qin want to attack again at this time, and when they score points, the second prince is the favorite prince of the Emperor of Western Qin, in case it really falls in the Great Zhou, not to mention the affairs between the two countries, they will not be the first to please them.

The group hurriedly carried the injured second prince of Western Qin to the embassy, and the envoys of other countries were obviously frightened by this scene, and they all looked around in a panic, for fear that a sharp arrow would fly out of thin air somewhere.

While everyone sped up and walked towards the hotel, they invariably surrounded the sedan chair in the middle, trying to protect the people inside.

There are all princes and princesses of various countries, and if they go on a business trip, they don't have to go back.

Xu Qingyan saw that the general had already called the doctor, so she didn't meddle anymore.

And this matter is related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries, so let's leave it to a professional person, so she won't blindly mix it up.

When the envoys left Suzaku Street, the county lord of Xinrou and Xu Qingyan glanced at each other, and they both saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

This kind of national affairs is not something that these boudoir women can manage.

The embassy next to the imperial city was heavily guarded at this time.

The envoys of various countries were all nested in their respective compounds, not daring to move around easily, lest they be used by the Great Zhou Dynasty to play on the topic and plant the assassination of the two princes of Western Qin on them.

Of course, this refers to the other three kingdoms, and as for the envoys of the Western Qin Kingdom, they are thundering in the Western Qin Courtyard at the moment.

"What about the imperial doctor, why haven't you come yet, if the second prince has a case, he will wait for my Western Qin army to press the border, right?" The envoy of Western Qin shouted sharply.

The official of the Ministry of Rites broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this: "This matter is by no means the work of the Great Zhou, the exchange of troops between the two countries is not trivial, and the envoy is asked to be cautious." ”

"Caution, hum, I'll tell you ........"

The envoy of Western Qin was about to say something more, when he heard someone outside say in a loud voice: "The imperial doctor is here, the imperial doctor is here." ”

The noisy people in the hall suddenly stopped, looked out of the door, and saw Wang Yiwang carrying the medicine box and being led by Jiang Mingjie to rush here. 2k reading web
