"What is it? Let him in. Qin Yining put down the dishes and chopsticks, took the handkerchief in Ziyuan's hand and wiped the corners of his mouth.

Xiao also snorted and ate the porridge in the bowl, and gargled with the tea bowl.

Huzi strode into the main house, stood still next to the Duobao Pavilion, and saluted: "Back to the prince, princess, our spies outside have detected the whereabouts of the Tatar Utkin Khan and Kedun and his party, and they will arrive at the county seat in about five days at most." ”

After rinsing his mouth, he wiped his mouth again, and said with a smile: "Their speed is too slow, if this is on the battlefield, how much will it be delayed?" ”

Huzi grinned, "Master, who can lead the troops to be so resolute as you." Besides, now that there is a flood outside, the road is not easy to walk, and Utkin Khan is also a pampered habit, and it is not easy to travel a long distance to Huichuan on a rainy day. ”

"yes." Qin Yining also said, "You can't be so strict with the barbarians. ”

Several people laughed.

Xiao Xiao said: "Now Uncle Zhongyi is going to be busy." ”

The problem is in front of him, and Lu Heng now has to consider the saint's opinion of him, but also ensure that the treasure will not be lost and lost, and ensure that the errand of escorting the Tatar Khan is done properly.

In such an embarrassing situation, the owls wiped their sweat for him.

Thinking of this, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but hug Qin Yining over and rub her cheeks.

"Thanks to your cleverness, you threw off the burden early, otherwise I would be the one who is in trouble now." sighed, and said, "In the future, I will ask you anything, people say that if you listen to your wife, you will get rich, I think it is true." ”

Qin Yining couldn't help but laugh again when he was told by the owl.

"Alright, alright. Come and try this robe when you have some free time. I always felt like my sleeves were a little longer. ”

Qin Yining took Xiao Xiao's hand to try on clothes.

Xiao Xiao turned around and waved his hand at Huzi.

Huzi immediately understood, stepped back and continued to monitor the movements of the Tatars.

The Tatar courtiers accompanying Siqin and his entourage did not know that all their whereabouts were in the hands of Xiao Xiao, and they spent three and a half days outside Huichuan County, camped outside the city, and sent people into the city to negotiate with Lu Heng.

The next day, the weather was still gloomy, and the drizzle had already caused serious water accumulation on the road. The servants of the Lu family who came to the palace to spread the word even threw the clothes on their backs.

"Back to the prince, Utkin Khan and Kedun and his entourage went to the outside of the county seat, and someone had just come to inform the uncle, and the uncle specially ordered the villain to inform the prince, and asked the prince to go to the yamen and go out with the uncle to greet him."

"Got it." The expressionless face of the owl responded.

After the people left, Xie Yue sighed: "As the prince expected, the loyal and righteous uncle ordered people to find you to welcome the Tatar Khan together." ”

Xu Weizhi asked, "Is the prince planning to go?" At the beginning, the saint ordered the order, but Zhongyibo received the decree alone, according to reason, it is natural for Zhongyibo to go to meet St. Utkin Khan, and you can completely ignore it when you come to you. ”

"yes." Xie Yue also said, "Uncle Zhongyi will come and tell you when you use it, and I don't know how many small tricks I have secretly used when I turn around, and the prince will not pay attention to such a person." If you don't want to go, you can't find anything wrong with the loyal uncle. ”

Xiao Xiao pointed his finger on the table and pondered for a moment, then sneered and said: "Lu Heng is very insidious, Utkin Khan's experience is different, in the eyes of the Great Zhou people, he is a person who has a city government, can go on a horse to kill the enemy, and is very good at strategy. Such a person must be a somewhat fierce existence in the hearts of ordinary people, although Lu Heng was born in a family, but as a civil servant, it is easy to lose his place in the aura.

"Although the saint did not arrange for the king to greet him, Lu Heng specially arranged for someone to inform him that at the critical moment, the king could not help but go. If this king resigns, it is inevitable that Lu Heng will seize the opportunity to participate in a book when he turns around, and both the saint and other colleagues will feel that this king does not know the importance of the country at a critical moment. So Lu Heng forced this king to help him suppress the formation. ”

Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi were silent for a while.

They had to admit that what Xiao Xiao said was right after thinking about it, but as Xiao Xiao's staff, they had to see Xiao Xiao suffer such a bird anger in front of these people, and they all felt aggrieved in their hearts.

"That's true." Xie Yue hesitated: "If the prince doesn't want to go, in fact, he can call himself sick and not go out." Anyway, the prince's 'illness' has not yet healed, and with the rainy days for months, it is not impossible for the prince's condition to recur. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Xiao chuckled and shook his head: "This time, this king really doesn't plan to call himself sick and avoid it." ”

"Lord Wang?" Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi were both puzzled.

"How Siqin treated Sister Yi at the beginning, others have forgotten, but this king has not forgotten. This revenge has not yet been avenged! ”

When Qin Yining was kidnapped by Siqin and sent to Tatar and passed through the desert, he was almost abandoned and thrown into the desert like Mrs. Liao and others of the Qingtian League. After arriving in Tatar, he was bullied by Anari and Siqin and his wife everywhere, and was later hunted down and killed, and the suffering was indescribable.

Xiao Xiao didn't know whether Qin Yining was alive or dead at that time, so how much gray hair did he have in a hurry?

Now that Siqin is willing to set foot on their territory, isn't it that the enemy is very angry when they meet?

After Xiao Xiao said this, Xu Weizhi and Xie Yue both had their hearts skipping a beat.

No one knows better than them how much the prince values the princess. Don't mention the suffering that the princess suffered in Tatar at the beginning, just talking about the various troubles brought about by the kidnapping, it really made Qin Yining suffer a lot of grievances. Not to mention far, even the prince's biological mother doubted the princess's chastity, although this was not fair to the princess, but in the end, all this was caused by Utkin Khan.

The prince loves the princess, but where can he endure it?

What's more, the prince loves his wife like his life, but Utkin Khan is the complete opposite of the prince. In order to seize power and status, he personally killed his wife Anari Khan, who was very affectionate to him, such a person is as vicious as the most poisonous scorpion in the desert, which makes people precipitate and get rid of it quickly.

Therefore, Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi knew the character of Xiao Xiao very well, and at this time, they were already worried about how Xiao Xiao planned to clean up Utjin Khan.

"Lord Wang, what are you going to do?"

"Don't be nervous." Xiao Xiao smiled, "The stupidest way is to make trouble on the spot, this king will not do this." What's more, Sister Yi'er helped this king win the current situation so easily, I can't waste a piece of her heart, and I can still distinguish which is more important. ”

Xie Yue breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good." The prince thought clearly, but our two old guys were too worried. ”

"Where's the word? The two gentlemen know everything, that is your loyalty, and it is too late for this king to be grateful. Xiao Xiao said with a smile.

Xu Weizhi sighed: "But the princess has really paid a lot for the princess. ”

Thinking of Qin Yining's treatment of him, Xiao Xiao's heart was as sweet as honey, and then thinking of the grievances she suffered because of him, his heart was indescribably sour.

After pondering for a moment, he got up and said: "This king will go to Lu Heng, so as to welcome Utkin Khan in first, and then what to do with the land, it will depend on Zhongyibo." ”

"Yes, the old man will go with the prince?"

Xiao Xiao nodded in agreement, and then asked someone to go to the inner house to pass a message to Qin Yining, and took someone out of the door himself.

Lu Heng was already dressed and had been waiting in front of the Lu Mansion.

Lu Wenru stood behind with a group of entourage, waiting for so long and no one came, so he couldn't help but step forward and ask in a low voice, "Uncle, will Prince Zhongshun refuse to come and deliberately let you wait here?" Why don't you let someone explore? ”

Lu Heng waved his hand and said firmly: "He is very cautious and will not be truthful." ”

Sure enough, when Lu Heng's words fell, he heard the sound of horses' hooves at the corner of the street, and it was indeed the carriage and guards of the palace who rushed over.

When he got closer, the curtain of the car was raised, and he sat in it, and said with a smile: "It's hard to travel on a rainy day, so let the loyal and righteous Bohou be for a long time." ”

"Where is it, the prince is willing to take the time to come, and the lower officials can be more down-to-earth in their hearts." Lu Heng smiled politely, turned around and instructed the people behind him, "Prepare the car and go." ”

"Yes!" The voices of the guards of the Lu family were uniform, and the carriage that Lu Heng was riding in was quickly prepared.

The two teams merged into one and rushed straight to the gate of Huichuan County. Soon came to the place agreed by Lu Heng and Utkin Khan.

Xiao Xiao and Lu Heng both got out of the carriage, and the people around them held umbrellas, and they stopped side by side, but after waiting for half an hour, there was a sound of horns and bells in the distance, and then they saw a long procession slowly winding in.

The Tartar procession was immense, men dressed in various colors of narrow-sleeved robes, women with narrow sleeves, hats of all kinds, long hair braided, singing songs as they walked, sitting in neat celebratory movements, and marching in front of them in a magnificent carriage. At the back of the procession were well-dressed Tatar soldiers escorting a convoy full of tribute.

As soon as he saw the Tatar carriage, his eyes turned cold, but the corners of his lips were raised, and he still showed a proper smile.

Lu Heng had already stepped forward first, and saluted with a smile: "The Tatar Khan is here, and I will personally welcome the special ministers of the Son of Heaven here, and ask the Khan to move to the post house in the city to settle down." ”

The Tatar ranks quieted down.

The door of the sumptuous carriage was pushed open by the maidservant, and the red curtain on the window was lifted, and Siqin was seen sitting in it, dressed in a dark brocade robe with narrow sleeves, symbolizing nobility, and wearing a hat inlaid with pearls, precious stones, and red coral.

Compared with the past, the bearded Siqin is more elegant and mature, but he has a bit of a strategist style.

But no one dares to underestimate this person, because he is also a fierce general on the battlefield.

Siqin raised his head, his sharp eyes swept over Lu Heng, who bowed his hand, and his eyes fell on Xiao Xiao's body, "Who should Ben Khan come to greet him, it turned out to be Prince Zhongshun." The prince of labor is driving, and Ben Khan is very frightened. ”

If his tone was more sincere and the meaning of provocation was lighter, perhaps his sarcastic meaning of "panic" would be weaker.
