Chapter 985: Requirements
"Utkin Khan is still radiant, but this courage is much smaller than before, why, I was shocked by the majesty of my dynasty Dingguogong, and even when I saw this king, I was terrified?"
This remark was full of provocation, Si Qin's brows immediately furrowed, and Si Qin was accompanied by four ministers, all of whom were also frowning, and there was even a more irritable one who wanted to come forward to theorize.
Who knew that the words changed sharply, and he laughed again: "Please also rest assured that Utkin Khan, our Great Zhou Dynasty has been a state of etiquette since ancient times, and will not do anything against it, since we have accepted your Tatar letter of surrender, we will not take the initiative to provoke any disputes, let alone take advantage of the Khan and Kedun to do whatever they want in our Great Zhou territory, so the Khan's panic is really unnecessary." ”
One sentence points out the status of the two countries at this time.
Tatar is the defeated general of Da Zhou's subordinates, although Siqin is a khan, but wasn't he the one who was beaten by Ji Zeyu and cried his father and shouted to his mother?
He should be afraid, seeing the god of war of the Great Zhou Dynasty who is as famous as Ji Zeyu, can he not be afraid of a defeated general?
If he still dares to show off his might, don't forget that they are still on the territory of the Great Zhou!
Xiao Xiao's words, Siqin's face was pale.
The people who accompanied the Great Zhou were all happy, and secretly praised Prince Zhongshun's words, and the hardness was really just right, worthy of being a person who had been on the battlefield, and even the khans of other countries had to give three points when the edge was revealed.
If you are submissive in front of the Tatar Khan, wouldn't you lose the face of the Great Zhou?
Siqin gritted his teeth, he has been a superior for a long time, and he is used to blurting out something without worrying that someone will refute it, so he will mock when he opens his mouth. Who would have thought that this Xiao Zhixi would come back directly at such a time?
Just when everyone who was embarrassed by the scene was wondering if Utkin Khan would directly blacken his face, Lu Heng said with a smile: "The Great Zhou and Tatar are friends, and there is a way that 'friends come from afar and don't say it', the post house in the city has been prepared, the banquet has been prepared, and the heavens are not beautiful along the way, thinking that the Khan, Kedun and all the ministers are already tired, why don't you ask the Khan to move to the post house first to rest for a while?" ”
With the steps down, Siqin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and kept his dignity as a khan with a calm "um" sound.
Lu Heng turned around and ordered people to open the way, and made way with Xiao Xiao, allowing Siqin and his party to enter the city.
Xiao Xiao looked at Lu Heng with a smile.
Lu Heng said with a smile: "After all, people who have come from afar and have already bowed down to their subordinates." It's not good if you get stiff on the spot. The implication is that he is strange for speaking too sharply, which almost caused a dispute.
Xiao Xiao smiled: "Don't worry, you and I must always have a white face." ”
It means that Xiao Xiao gave Lu Heng the opportunity to be a good person.
Lu Heng's heart was on fire, and he was still smiling gently and elegantly, "The prince is really wise and scheming, and I admire him." ”
"Uncle Zhongyi is polite."
The two glanced at each other with a smile on their faces, but the smile did not reach the bottom of their eyes, they arched their hands to each other, and each went back to the car. So he marched into the city after Siqin's carriage.
As for the Tatars who came with him, Lu Heng arranged additional people to settle them, so naturally he would not allow so many Tatars to enter the city together, leaving most of the Tatars to guard the tribute, and only the four Tatar ministers followed into the city gate.
Lu Heng and Xiao Xiao sent people to the post house, and everyone got out of the car and entered the door one after another according to their identities.
Lu Heng originally wanted to go with Xiao Xiao to send Siqin for resettlement, but Xiao Xiao put his hand behind his back and said with a smile: "It's better to be loyal and righteous." This king is used to being rough, and it will not be good if he breaks the tables, chairs and benches if he is not careful. ”
"The prince acts in a relaxed manner, where is such a careless person?" Lu Heng smiled, "It seems that the prince is afraid of overwork." ”
"Where, since the loyal and righteous uncle has received the order, go to the errand quickly."
Lu Heng gritted his teeth, the smile on his face was getting stiffer and stiffer, if it weren't for the fact that he tore his face with the Tartar at this time and let the Tatars see the joke, he was afraid that he would have to turn his lips against each other, maybe he saw that he couldn't refute at this time, so he would be so unscrupulous!
Lu Heng took a deep breath, suppressed his anger with amazing willpower, and said with a smile: "In this case, the prince will rest here for a while." ”
Xiao Xiao smiled slightly, did not say much, quite leisurely to look at the surrounding not very special scenery, as if the first time to come here is particularly novel.
Lu Heng walked quickly to the house and greeted Siqin and Kedun with a smile.
It was at this time that he saw the appearance of Kedun.
It was a tall, slightly plump young woman with a face like a full moon, not very outstanding, with the corners of her eyes and eyebrows bearing the pride peculiar to the Tatar aristocracy.
The young Ke Dun looked at Lu Heng curiously, she could understand the Da Zhou dialect, but the pronunciation was a little strange, "You are the head of the Lu family?" ”
Lu Heng had never seen such a formal occasion, where the man did not speak, and the woman in the family spoke first. But a Tatar woman can be a khan, let alone say a word on such an occasion.
"Yes. I've seen Kedun. ”
"Hmm. You know the rules very well. Better than that loyal prince. Kedun smiled, "Are you going to have a banquet?" ”
Lu Heng responded with a smile: "Yes." ”
"Then I won't drink with you. We women are going to drink with women. ”
Lu Heng smiled and said, "At the banquet, Humble Jing will definitely come back to accompany Ke Dun." ”
"Clumsy? The woman of your family? No, no, no, I want to see the woman of Prince Zhongshun's family. Kedun sneered, "The sinner who killed Anari Khan, I want to see with my own eyes what kind of demon she is!" ”
When Lu Heng heard that Ke Dun spoke like this, he was a little speechless for a while, he really rarely dealt with such a direct woman. But the other party is a noble Kedun. And Utkin Khan had been listening to Kedun in silence, obviously acquiescing to her behavior, and he didn't mind Qin Yining appearing at the banquet.
However, how Anari Khan died in the first place, he, Qin Yining, and Mu Jinghu knew better than anyone else.
Qin Yining has been carrying the black pot for a long time, I'm afraid that even Siqin is about to forget the truth of the matter.
Lu Heng was reluctant to let Qin Yining come out and suffer in the end. Ke Dun has a noble status, and now he seems to be a proud person who doesn't know color, and he is worried that Qin Yining will be taken care of by Ke Dun if he comes forward.
"Back to Ketun, whether the prince and princess of Zhongshun come will have to make another arrangement." The refusal is tactful but clear.
But Kedun couldn't hear the meaning, "What arrangement?" When the time comes, call your Prince Zhongshun to come with him, and let him take her woman with him, and everyone will be lively together. When our khan comes, can't your country be accompanied by the noblest men of the land? ”
This is reasonable, but it really does not save face for Lu Heng, the official who is responsible for greeting him.
In the eyes of this Kedun, even if Lu Heng is the head of the Lumen family, even if he is an uncle, his status cannot catch up with a reckless man who has already lost his military power!
Lu Heng was secretly angry in his heart, but he was used to it, he had seen it when dealing with people, and he would not really be more serious with an ignorant woman.
He couldn't lose his demeanor, and he couldn't be sure if he would be willing to let Qin Yining come, and it was not easy to refuse Ke Dun.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to answer tactfully, Ke Dun was already unpleasant: "Is my request too much?" ”
Siqin said with a smile: "It's not too much, I think that since Da Zhou has become a friendly neighbor with Tatars, Ke Dun has such a small request, Zhongyi Bo will not have to refute Ben Khan's face, right?" ”
"Where the words. Khan was serious. Lu Heng smiled, but his heart became alert.
It seems that even if Ke Dun opened his mouth at the behest of Siqin, Siqin was also quite "interested" in Qin Yining. Why, this man killed Anari Khan, and wanted to see how the woman who took the charge for him was doing?
Lu Heng chatted for a while and then retired for the time being.
When he arrived outside the door, he immediately asked Lu Wenru, "Where is Prince Zhongshun?" ”
"I'm eating tea in front, what does my uncle command?"
Lu Heng didn't answer, and walked forward quickly without saying a word.
Although he was too lazy to entertain Siqin, it was not good to directly pick and choose, so he stayed here for the time being, just in case something happened.
Who knew that as soon as he refilled a cup of tea, Lu Heng broke in in a hurry, and before he could catch his breath, he said anxiously: "Ke Dun proposed to have a dinner with the princess, but Utkin Khan did not object. ”
Hearing this, the tea bowl in his hand was slowly put down.
After a moment of silence, Xiao Xiao smiled: "Yes." It seems that Krotun is a cheerful man. ”
Lu Heng couldn't imagine that Xiao Xiao was talking about this, and he couldn't help but be a little annoyed, "Why aren't you worried at all?" He leaned closer to the owl and lowered his voice, "The death of Anari Khan that day had nothing to do with the princess at all, Utkin Khan used the black cauldron that the princess had carried for so long, and now he is bringing Xin Kedun with his bad intentions, how can you still be so indifferent?" Don't forget, who was the princess tied up and suffered so much in Tatar in the first place! ”
The smile on Xiao Xiao's face disappeared completely, and he sneered: "For whom, it won't be for you." Uncle Zhongyi, don't you feel a little redundant when you are so anxious? ”
Lu Heng has never been moved, and when he heard the words, his face couldn't help but turn red, and his eyes narrowed slightly, "What does the prince mean by this, the lower officials can't understand it." ”
"Yes."
Xiao Xiao stood up and walked in front of Lu Heng with his hands in his hands.
He was more than half a head taller than Lu Heng, and the people who crawled in the sea of corpses and blood on the battlefield were undisguised when they were displeased, and their eyes were like sharp blades shining with cold light in the moonlight, and the people he stared at would only feel the trembling millet all over his body, which was the instinctive reaction when he was targeted by a fierce beast.
Rao is Lu Heng has seen countless big scenes, and he is also calm, not such a person who can't be frightened, and at this time, he also felt that every hair on his back stood up.
It's just that in the face of a man like Xiaoxiao, his arrogance as the son-in-law of the family does not allow him to show his cowardice, not to mention that they are still rivals in love, and if they show weakness in front of their rivals, then he will lose completely.
"It's better not to talk nonsense. Feel free to slander your colleagues, and I can go to the Holy One to visit you. ”
Xiao Xiao suddenly laughed, and the laughter spread far away, so that Lu Wenru, Huzi and others outside the house couldn't help but look back into the house.
Lu Heng's face became more and more ugly, and he didn't care about any more official words, "What do you mean!" ”
