The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings!

The news that An Hongxuan, the prince of King An, and Zheng Xiaocheng, the deputy general of the Xuanjin Realm Guards, were injured in a martial fight and fell unconscious was spread in Sanhui City, and the rumors that there would be a big battle between the Beiyuan An Wangfu and the Xuanjin Realm Guards intensified.

"What do you think King An wants to do? He obviously promised to give me time, as long as I healed An Shizi, he was willing to sit down with General Zheng for peace talks, but now it has only been two days and rumors have spread and people are panicking, what is he trying to do?! ”

Qi Ying was so anxious that he paced back and forth, eager to immediately go to King An to ask for clarification. She knew Zheng Xiaocheng. In the Xuan Jin Dynasty, Qi Ying's father and General Zheng Lao had a good relationship, the two families lived close to each other, and the two families often had contacts, Qi Ying and Zheng Xiaocheng were of the same age, although the two fought each other as soon as they met, they liked to play together, and in the eyes of adults, they were a pair of proper happy enemies. Putting aside the childhood friendship with Zheng Xiaocheng, as the royal prince of Xuan Jin who married Beiyuan and his relatives, Qi Ying didn't want Beiyuan and Xuan Jin to fight again no matter what.

"Don't worry, it's not yet certain whether these rumors are coming out of King An's mansion, and since King An has promised to give him five days, he won't be in such a hurry. I'll accompany you to meet Zheng Xiaoyue first......"

Qi Ying made an appointment with Zheng Xiaoyue, the chief general of the Xuanjin Realm Guard, to meet in the Jupinlou in the city today, wanting to understand the situation and see his views on how to deal with this matter. In her opinion, no matter whether she can wake up An Hongxuan in time or not, King An may not easily expose this matter, what she can do is to try to mediate and weaken the contradictions between the two sides.

When they came to Jupinlou, Zheng Xiaoyue was already waiting in a guest room on the second floor, and when he saw Qi Ying and Chu Yanxu coming in, he was busy greeting them.

"That day, I escorted the princess and the county lord into the Beiyuan realm, thinking that it would be difficult to see the county lord again in this life, but I never thought that it would be in this situation to meet again, Zheng is really ashamed......"

"General Zheng, don't come unharmed! Today we have come to see the general, you know why we are here......"

Zheng Xiaoyue is seven or eight years older than Qi Ying, and he was sent to the barracks by General Zheng at the age of eleven years old, Qi Ying is not familiar with him, and she has forgotten the scene on the day she left the country, so seeing Zheng Xiaoyue again at this moment has not been able to arouse her many memories, so there is no Zheng Xiaoyue's emotion, and he is ready to go straight to today's intention when he sees it.

"Yes...... Zheng Xiaoyue hurriedly invited them to sit down, and before he sat down, his eyes fell on Chu Yanxu, who was sitting next to Qi Ying, and asked Qi Ying suspiciously, "May I ask who this is?" ”

"He is the prince of Su"

There was no need for Qi Ying to explain more, Zheng Xiaoyue immediately understood, raised his hand and clasped his fists and saluted, "It turns out that the prince of the world, fortunately!" ”

Chu Yanxu nodded and smiled, he had seen Zheng Xiaoyue a few times, although he had not met him head-on, but he also had some understanding, so he also hugged his fists and returned the salute, "General Zheng, fortunately!" ”

"Then let's get down to business."

Zheng Xiaoyue nodded and said okay, his younger brother has a lot of trouble this time, King An has been unwilling to meet with him for peace talks, and rumors have spread in the city, these days have disturbed him to sit still, and now there are Qi Ying and Chu Yanxu willing to come forward to reconcile, he is of course overjoyed, "Xiaocheng, this kid doesn't know that the sky is high and the earth has caused trouble, it is my brother's lax discipline, I have strictly banned him, and I hope that the prince and the county lord can ask for mercy in front of King An, if King An is willing, I will definitely take that bastard boy to the door to bear the guilt of the crime......"

"The general asked them why they fought that day?" Qi Ying asked.

"Asked. Xiaocheng said that day was not their first martial arts fight, the two had a fight before, this competition was made at the end of the last fight, and they also made a gambling contract at that time, and decided that the victory or defeat of this competition would depend on their ability, and life and death would not be investigated. I also brought the gambling papers, and it does say so in black and white......"

As he spoke, Zheng Xiaoyue took out a document from his chest and handed it to Qi Ying, there was indeed a clause on the document that 'victory or defeat depends on ability, life and death are not investigated', as well as the signatures of An Hongxuan and Zheng Xiaocheng.

With the gambling contract document in hand, Wang An was a little more sure of the peace talks, and Qi Ying and Chu Yanxu handed it back to Zheng Xiaoyue after circulating it.

"Please put away this gambling contract, presumably this gambling contract King An has not yet known, and when we go to King An's mansion tomorrow, we will talk to the prince, and King An may reconsider ......this matter," Chu Yanxu said.

"The prince can come forward to reconcile, Zheng is grateful......"

"This prince and the princess are here today, for the peace of the north abyss of the Sanhui City and the Xuanjin border and make a modest contribution, in recent days, the rumors in the Sanhui City must have been heard by General Zheng, if it is because of this incident that the border guards of the two countries meet each other and spread to the front of the two countries, the consequences must be known to General Zheng. For the sake of the friendly diplomatic relations between the two countries of Beiyuan Xuan and Jin, I also ask General Zheng to control his brother Ling in the future, and do not regenerate things that affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries of Beiyuan Xuan and Jin, after all, it is not a trivial matter to affect the diplomatic relations of the country because of personal behavior! ......”

Chu Yanxu's tone was serious and his words were not polite, and Zheng Xiaoyue's face gradually became innocent when he heard it, but he had nothing to say.

Qi Ying looked at Chu Yanxu in surprise, his eyes implied that he had spoken a little too much, so he couldn't be tactful? Zheng Xiaoyue has been in the barracks since he was a child, and he has been either training or marching to fight for many years, he does not have the kind of nine-song heartfelt mind of the literati, the upright nature of the martial arts has been passed down from the ancestors of the Zheng family, and they cannot solve it by force in a word, Zheng Xiaocheng's trouble this time is a living example.

Chu Yanxu patted the back of Qi Ying's hand, suggesting that she should be a little restless. He deliberately said it seriously, it is not a trivial matter for two small soldiers to fight on the border between the two countries, not to mention that on one side is the prince of the palace and on the other side is a deputy general, if this matter is spread to the court of the two countries, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a major matter on the national border, and I am afraid that it will only be big and not small if it is investigated. And he is just a prince's son, without the emperor's order, he is not qualified to get involved in this matter, he came rashly and would have overstepped, if he didn't say these words to show that his position was inclined to Beiyuan, then if it was passed back to the ears of Emperor Yuan in the future, his image of trespassing without permission would be branded. And like Zheng Xiaoyue, if he doesn't say it harshly and clearly, how can he keep his younger brother firmly in mind!

"Does General Zheng think that what Chu said is wrong?"

Zheng Xiaoyue's face gradually converged, although he still pursed his mouth, but his face had returned to normal, he slowly stood up and clasped his fists with both hands and solemnly saluted Chu Yanxu, "Loyal words, Zheng is not a person who does not understand the truth, the prince's blunt mention, Zheng Mou appreciates, in the future, he will strictly control the little brother, and no longer let him do anything to damage the diplomatic relations between Xuan Jin and Beiyuan......"

Sanhui City is an inclusive border city, and the situation here contains more or less the epitome of the situation of the diplomatic relations between the three countries of Beiyuan, Xuanjin and Fujian.

What should have been said had already been said, and Chu Yanxu didn't want to stay any longer, so he took Qi Ying out of Jupinlou.
