Chapter 35: The Great Gift of the West
"Bang Bang"
The sound of cold weapons resounded throughout the courtyard. γ -γ
Qin Susu hugged Qin Xiaobao, obviously gradually struggling a little, and he couldn't get the upper hand anymore.
It wasn't until the surrounding guards put a knife on her neck that Qin Susu stopped.
Seeing that Qin Susu was caught, a cold light appeared in Baili Cangming's eyes, and then he slowly stepped forward.
Approaching Qin Susu, the corners of his mouth pulled out a slight arc, "This king said that this is this king's territory-"
"So you can do whatever you want?" In her cold eyes, there was a sneer, and Qin Susu rewarded her with this sentence without hesitation.
Baili Cangming's face changed slightly, but he asked again and again, "Those two choices, Qin Susu, have you ever thought about it?" β
Qin Susu suddenly laughed, "When I was besieged last time, Prince Ming should have understood the gap between himself and his subordinates, it seems that I really overestimated you." His eyes flashed, and Qin Susu continued, "Lord Ming, you should know that I am no longer the same person I used to be, threaten?" Oh sorry, this trick, I didn't eat it a long time ago! β
Around his body, an invisible momentum dispersed, and immediately, from Qin Susu's body, a powerful internal force rushed out, and it directly shook away all the knives around him. The wind was blowing, but the people couldn't open their eyes.
"Lord Ming, I hope that next time, you can be smarter-" The voice sounded in the sky above King Ming's mansion.
The wind dispersed, and the rest of the people in front of him had long since disappeared.
Baili Cangming stood in place, squinted his eyes slightly, looked into the distance, and the corners of his mouth pulled out a faint arc.
"Qin Susu, this king said that you don't want to escape from this king."
Qin Susu took Qin Xiaobao with him until he walked into the distance and then stopped.
"What's going on?" After stopping, Qin Susu put down Qin Xiaobao, turned around, and looked at him coldly.
"Mother-" Qin Xiaobao snorted, "It's Xiaobao who is too careless." β
He suddenly didn't want to tell his mother that it was the scumbag prince who deceived him. The relationship between them is indeed not very good, and indeed, it needs to be eased.
"What the hell is going on?" Qin Susu asked.
"Xiaobao is playful, and I accidentally met him when I went to the street." Lowering his eyelids, Qin Xiaobao spoke.
Qin Susu sighed lightly, and then shook her head helplessly, "Let's go, my mother will take you back to the restaurant." β
At this moment, Qin Susu slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
Luckily, it's not what she imagined.
If it was really Baili Cangming who deliberately came to the door to arrest Qin Xiaobao, she would definitely not be able to get around him!
Ten days, in the blink of an eye.
This day is the day when the new emperor ascends the throne.
Baili Yuntian sat on the side, looking at Baili Canglian in front of him who was wearing a dragon robe and walking up step by step, his eyes were full of relief.
Above the lobby, Baili Yuntian announced to the civil and military officials that he would officially hand over the throne to the crown prince. At the same time, he looked at the two princes on the side with deep meaning.
"In the future, you have to help the new emperor, you brothers and three people, you must work together."
Baili Cangming and Baili Cangyan are underneath, and they have agreed.
Turning his head, Baili Yuntian looked at Baili Canglian, and sighed lightly, "Emperor, in the future, the entire Dongjin will depend on you-" Then, he solemnly put the national seal in his hand, and personally put on the crown that belonged to the emperor for him.
"Father, rest assured, the sons and daughters will definitely live up to the trust."
The queen sat on the side, looking at this festive scene, her face was already extremely pale. He looked at General Qiao for a few moments, and then, the corners of his mouth lightly hooked a cruel arc.
Their original idea was very beautiful, that is, after Baili Yuntian died, they directly tampered with the edict, but the change was too big.
The new emperor's enthronement ceremony began, and Baili Canglian sat on the top and accepted the kneeling of the Manchu Dynasty and the military below.
Sincerely, falsely.
He's always a little out of breath.
Actually, this is not what he wants. He wished he had just lived an ordinary life, but in this position, he couldn't help himself!
"Flat-" But he had to open his mouth like this, and there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
After the coronation ceremony, Baili Canglian suddenly spoke. "A while ago, there was a great flood in the south, and because someone came up with a good plan, the flood was suppressed.
The ministers all nodded in agreement, but they were all wondering who had come up with this method.
But without waiting for them to think about it, Baili Canglian spoke, "I will seal the biggest hero of this matter, Su Qin's guard, as a first-class guard with a knife, and I will always accompany me in the future to protect my safety." β
As soon as these words came out, the face of Baili Cangming underneath changed instantly.
Baili Cangyan is the same, he knows that Baili Cangming treats him differently, but now that he is doing this, isn't it clear that he slapped Baili Cangming in the face?
The queen was full of killing intent in her eyes, she had made up her mind to kill Su Qin, but now, Baili Canglian obviously protected him very well.
Because he was a personal guard for hundreds of miles, Qin Susu had been in the dark, and he was also shocked when he heard this reward at this time.
"Your Majesty, your subordinates are terrified-" Clasped his hands into fists, Qin Susu lowered his head and said.
Baili Canglian laughed softly, "This position, Su Guard, you deserve it." You have come up with a way to control the water for me, so that hundreds of thousands of people in the south will not die in the flood, which is indeed indispensable, how can I just look at you as a small guard? If so, that's a shame. β
When the words came out, everyone was talking.
It turned out that it was the short, unattractive guard in front of him who came up with the strategy to control the water!
Seeing the reactions around her, Qin Susu didn't shirk it anymore after all, and if she continued to shirk it, it would only appear that she was hypocritical. Just knelt down on one knee, lowered his head, and said, "Emperor Xie." β
"Huh...... Flat, in the future, the safety of me and the safety of the palace will trouble the Su guards. β
The corners of Qin Susu's eyes twitched, and she raised her head inadvertently, but she saw a pair of sharp eyes shot at her from Baili Cangming on the side, and there seemed to be a faint sense of uncertainty in her eyes.
Suddenly, Qin Susu was shocked.
She seemed to feel something. Could it be because of Baili Cangming, Baili Canglian would give her such a title?
Instead, the corners of her mouth were tugging lightly, she was really thinking too much......
After the canonization ceremony, the ministers congratulated one after another.
At this time, the atmosphere among the ministers is really a little weird. On the one hand, the group of ministers who had been with the empress were constantly tempting to know if Baili Canglian knew their previous purpose, and on the other hand, they tried their best to show their loyalty to the new emperor.
Baili Canglian looked at the scene below coldly, noncommittal. In his heart, who is true and who is false, how can he not count? Even if he didn't care about the affairs of the court, he was still clear about what was happening under his nose.
Just when everyone was about to disperse, someone came to report, "Your Majesty, the envoy of the Western Turks is visiting-"
As soon as the words came out, the ministers who had planned to leave stopped again.
Emissaries of the Western Turks?
What is their purpose?
There was also a moment of confusion in the hundreds of miles, "Say-"
After a while, several people slowly walked into the hall.
"I heard that the new emperor of Dongjin ascended the throne today, and my king of the Western Turks specially sent us to send gifts to celebrate."
As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar. Everyone knows that the war between the West and the East is continuous, and this time they came, either they really wanted to show goodwill, or, or Jing Ke assassinated the King of Qin, and they didn't have any good intentions at all.
"Look at this posture, we just caught up with the last step." The leader of the messenger continued.
Baili Canglian was stunned for a moment, but then he laughed out loud, and his tone was very elegant.
"I am very pleased with the arrival of the envoy from the Western Turks."
The leader of the envoy smiled and said, "However, this Dongjin's defense is really strict, if we explain our intention and all our weapons are detained, your guards really won't let us in." β
Hundreds of miles of vicissitudes but silent laughter.
Seeing that the timing was about the same, the envoy Xiao Zhan continued, "This time, I sent a few congratulatory gifts from the Western Emperor, and I hope that the Emperor of Dongjin will accept it with a smile. After speaking, he clapped his hands, and in an instant, from outside the hall, several people came in carrying a few boxes.
"The messenger is politeβ"
Everyone has doubts about the uninvited arrival of this Western Turkic envoy, and at this moment, Baili Canglian is also vigilant.
"Open." With the order of the messenger, the box was opened, and in an instant, from the alley, there were petals scattered, and at the same time as the petals were scattered, a woman danced from the box and walked out.
All of them held their breath.
The woman in front of her was wearing a short shirt, revealing her snow-white waist, her waist, constantly twisting, and her face was covered with a veil.
This veil adds to her mystery.
"This is the first beauty of my Western Turks, and I am specially dedicated to Emperor Dongjin."
Baili Canglian raised his head without joy on his face, "Xiji's kindness, I have received it, it's just-"
"Emperor Dongjin, doesn't he dislike this gift?" Before Baili Canglian finished speaking, the envoy spoke first, and then, the legendary first beauty also looked at Baili Canglian with tears in her eyes.
"We have also delivered the gift of our king, and we will be at the disposal of Emperor Dongjin." The messenger said, but there was a bit of authority in his tone. "After many years of war, the king does not want to continue to see the lives of the people, so he took this opportunity to ask for peace between the two countries, and I hope that Emperor Dongjin will not shirk, this is, after all, the kindness of our king."
These words have been said to this point, how can they continue to shirk for hundreds of miles. I had to raise my hand lightly, "If this is the case, then I will accept it." β
As soon as these words came out, the messengers thanked them one after another.
Below, Yun Ji, who is known as the first beauty in the Western Turks, looked at the emperor with affection, and inadvertently, her eyes gently swept over the people present. When he caught a glimpse of the hundred miles on the side, his eyelids were gently lowered, covering up the infinite complexity in his eyes......
