Xu Guan was still worried for a while after he went back, thinking that Gu Junyan would come to him, he waited for a few days, but Gu Junyan did not show up, which may be related to the upcoming visit of Xiao Tingxuan, the envoy of the Great Liao, and after a long time, he gradually let go of this matter.

On the day Xiao Tingxuan arrived, Li Sheng specially sent Gu Junyan out of the city to greet him in person, Gu Junyan rode a high-headed horse, wearing silver armor, scarlet cloak fluttering in the wind, sassy and heroic, and his handsome face had a murderous atmosphere, Xiao Tingxuan was Gu Junyan's defeated general, which was quite a demonstration.

Xiao Tingxuan is in his twenties this year, with a strong physique, not deep and handsome, with a touch of exoticism, he is one of the few Liao people who admires Sinology culture, and even deliberately studied Chinese, he is dressed as a scholar in white, and he also holds a folding fan elegantly in his hand.

It's just the winter season, but this move seems a little funny.

Xiao Tingxuan smiled slightly, with a bit of innocence and heartiness, he hugged his fists at Gu Junyan and said: "Young General, you and I have been saying goodbye for many years, and when the ancients meet today, we have to drink a few more glasses." ”

Gu Junyan was noncommittal, drove forward, and said lightly: "I am here to greet the prince on the orders of His Majesty, the prince has worked hard all the way, His Majesty has set up a banquet in the palace, the prince invites!" ”

Xiao Tingxuan nodded and followed Gu Junyan into the city.

The people of the capital heard that the prince of Da Liao was coming, many people came out to watch, and they specially sent people to maintain order for a few months, Xiao Tingxuan entered the city, and saw the people in the middle of the road, with a bright smile on his face, and waved to the people.

However, the attitude of the people was much colder, and they all whispered: "This is the barbarian of Daliao, how many people have been killed by our border pass!" ”

"My nephew died at the hands of the Liao! These executioners! ”

Some people even secretly threw a stone at Xiao Tingxuan, but before Xiao Tingxuan could move, a bald guard behind him had already taken action to block it, and threw the stone back, the stone flew towards the perpetrator quickly, Gu Junyan didn't speak, Yi Wen behind him flew out and waved his sword to block the stone back.

The bald guard looked at Yi Wen angrily, and Yi Wen unhurriedly put away his sword and followed behind Gu Junyan.

This small episode did not affect Gu Junyan and Xiao Tingxuan at all, and the two of them looked calm and ignored them.

Entering the palace, Xiao Tingxuan's extremely guarded were unarmed, the bald guard was very dissatisfied, and almost clashed with the Ouchi guard, Xiao Tingxuan took a look: "Eugene! ”

Eugene reluctantly surrendered his weapon.

Gu Junyan made a gesture: "Lord Wang, please." ”

Xiao Tingxuan walked into the main hall, put one hand on his chest, and made a salute.

Master Cui of the Ministry of Rites raised his eyebrows and said: "Prince Xiao is such a big man, when he saw my emperor, he actually didn't bow down!" ”

Xiao Tingxuan smiled slightly, not in a hurry: "Back to Your Majesty, I am a Liao person below, and this time I am also an envoy on behalf of Liao, so it is natural to follow the etiquette of Liao, in our Liao, this is the highest etiquette, please Your Majesty be clear!" ”

Li Sheng's face remained unchanged, and he was about to speak, but Xu Guanyi stood up: "Prince Xiao is reasonable, Prince Xiao's visit this time is to conclude a good relationship between the two countries, I heard that King Liao chose Prince Xiao because Prince Xiao knows a lot about Sinology and culture?" ”

Xiao Tingxuan nodded, a touch of smugness flashed on his face, the Liao people generally look down on the Han people, and they also reject their culture, in fact, because the culture of Sinology is broad and profound, it is difficult to learn, he is one of the few people who can study it, which is also a point he is proud of.

"Sinology culture is very spiritual, this king likes it very much, and he has been involved for many years, so he has a little understanding."

Xu Guanyi complimented: "The prince is humble, you speak Chinese very well, and the lower officials admire it very much, so it can be seen that you have done a lot of hard work." ”

Xu Guan paused, saw Xiao Tingxuan with a touch of reserved pride, and then said slowly: "Then Prince Xiao should have heard of the phrase "follow the customs?" ”

Xiao Tingxuan's expression froze, and his sharp gaze shot at Xu Guanyi, Xu Guanyi did not dodge or dodge, and smiled at him.

Li Sheng laughed at this time, in fact, he didn't care if Xiao Tingxuan knelt down or not, now that Xu Guanyi had found the field, he was very satisfied, and he didn't want to stiffen the relationship.

"The person who comes is a guest, Lord Xiao, please take a seat."

Li Sheng set up a banquet for Xiao Tingxuan, Xiao Tingxuan brought a congratulatory gift from the Liao Kingdom, and as the host, Li Sheng offered to take him around the capital.

"I don't know the major general, I don't know if the major general has time?" Xiao Tingxuan took the lead in saying.

Gu Junyan nodded, he didn't worry about letting others follow him, "Prince Xiao invited, how can this general be unreasonable!" ”

Xiao Tingxuan looked at Xu Guanyi again, and his eyes were meaningful: "I heard that Master Xu is brilliant, and this king still wants to ask Lord Xu for advice, why don't you travel together?" ”

Xu Guanyi was reluctant to have more contact with Gu Junyan in his heart, but Xiao Tingxuan personally invited him, which could not be refused.

After a slight hesitation, Xu Guanyi still nodded: "Then the lower official is better to be respectful than to obey his fate!" ”

Xiao Tingxuan's eyes flashed slightly, he didn't let go of Xu Guanyi's hesitation for a moment, but he was puzzled in his heart, he didn't want to, why? On the top of the main hall just now, he was so aggressive, he didn't look like he was afraid of himself at all, but now he hesitated, what was the secret in this?

The matter was settled, Xiao Tingxuan returned to the post station where he went down, and ordered someone to investigate Xu Guanyi's background, such a courageous, courageous, and eloquent figure, he actually ignored it before, so it seems that the dynasty is really full of talents, and it should not be underestimated.

Thinking of this, Xiao Tingxuan's eyes flashed with deep thought.

Xu Guanyi's background is not difficult to investigate, and his family history is known throughout the capital, so it can be said that he is the goal of a poor student.

Xiao Tingxuan felt strange after finding out, it is said that Xu Guanyi is still Gu Junyan's subordinate, but at today's banquet, the two did not communicate with each other throughout the whole process, and Xu Guanyi seemed to avoid Gu Junyan a little.

"That's interesting." Xiao Tingxuan hooked the corners of his lips, and his handsome face revealed a bit of bewitchment.

Eugene didn't have a good impression of Xu Guanyi, and snorted coldly and said: "How cunning they are Han people, especially these scholars, they are even worse in their stomachs, and it's nothing to fall out with Gu Junyan." ”

Xiao Tingxuan raised his eyebrows: "You mean, he put Gu Junyan together, and then he can be an official in the court unharmed?" Hmph, if Gu Junyan had such a soft heart, we wouldn't have lost so many good sons! ”

Eugene opened his mouth, but was speechless.

Xiao Tingxuan squinted: "Since it's not for profit, I'm afraid it's for women." ”

When it comes to women, Xiao Tingxuan thought of one thing, Princess Wuyang likes Gu Junyan not only in the capital, but even in the Great Liao Kingdom, but now Princess Wuyang is married to Xu Guanyi, it is not because Gu Junyan was pried into the corner, Xu Guanyi is a concubine, that is, Gu Junyan wants to take revenge on him, and he also has to take care of Li Sheng.

Xiao Tingxuan felt that he had the truth.

The next day, Gu Junyan and Xu Guanyi accompanied Xiao Tingxuan to visit many places in the capital, and finally Xiao Tingxuan proposed to visit the General's Mansion.

When the group arrived at the General's Mansion, Su Yunlai, as the general's wife, naturally wanted to come out to say hello.

Gu Junyan was talking with a few people in the living room, Xiao Tingxuan saw a woman walking over slowly, she was wearing a bright yellow dress, wearing a white rabbit fur cloak, she walked lightly, her appearance was unrefined, her temperament was elegant, the corners of her mouth were pouting with a gentle smile, and the pearls in her hair swayed slightly with her footsteps, swaying, like a Jiangnan woman who came out of the picture of a lady.

Su Yunlai stepped over the threshold and walked in, Gu Junyan stood up and helped her, Su Yunlai had already begun to show her pregnancy, but she was slender and didn't see it.

"Lord Xiao, this is an insider." Gu Junyan introduced.

Xiao Tingxuan's admiring gaze fell on Su Yunlai's face with a big grin, a little rude, but it was not presumptuous, and it did not make people feel disgusted.

Xiao Tingxuan laughed and said: "This king knows that Princess Wuyang has a deep love for the young general, and everyone knows it, but I didn't expect that in the end, Yiren would not marry, and I didn't expect the young general to find such a beautiful woman, and it was really a blessing in disguise." ”

Gu Junyan and Xu Guanyi's expressions were a little ugly, Princess Wuyang was a bad debt that couldn't be explained.

Su Yunlai smiled slightly, she looked at Gu Junyan: "Husband, this is the Prince Xiao you talked about, right?" ”

Gu Junyan nodded with an unswerving face.

Xiao Tingxuan's eyes lit up: "Oh? Did the Major General and his wife mention me? I don't know what the major general said about me? ”

Su Yunlai's smile did not change, but deepened a little: "Oh, it's nothing, that is, there is a prince in Liao who always loses to my husband, and he is embarrassed to win." ”

Gu Junyan couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud, he didn't bother to protect his face when his subordinates were defeated.

Xu Guanyi tapped the corner of his lips, and his eyes involuntarily fell on her.

Xiao Tingxuan glanced at Su Yunlai with a smile: "This king studies Sinology and culture, and they all say that most of the women in the dynasty are virtuous and virtuous, and this sharp tooth is not considered an advantage, right?" ”

Su Yunlai nodded: "Lord Xiao doesn't know, my husband is not an ordinary man, if I am an ordinary woman, how can I match him?" ”

Gu Junyan was by her side, looking at her with a smile and doting, that look was proud and indulgent, it was a victory on the battlefield, and he didn't have such a straightforward joy.

At this moment, Xiao Tingxuan suddenly had doubts about his guess, Gu Junyan was obviously extremely satisfied with his wife!

Xiao Tingxuan glanced at Xu Guanyi, his eyes were falling on Su Yunlai's body, gentle but with a hint of pain, he couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips, which was meaningful.

The news that the princess of Qinyang was sent to Liao and his relatives spread far and wide, Princess Qinyang decided that she couldn't sit still, she decided to save herself, and the first person she thought of was Yun Huanting.

Princess Qinyang has her own purpose, Yun Huanting has always regarded herself as a virtuous queen, and she went to ask her for help, lowering her posture, even if she was unwilling, she also had to worry about face, as long as the queen relieved her mouth and agreed to help her, she couldn't ignore her!

It's just that Princess Qinyang didn't expect that Yun Huanting would agree so happily, she thought it would take a lot of speech, but Yun Huanting agreed without saying a word after listening to her intentions.

"The marriage between the two countries is a big deal, even if the palace is the queen, it can't affect the government, if the princess doesn't want to go to the family, then you have to choose a replacement person, does the princess understand?" Yun Huanting said meaningfully.

Princess Qinyang was stunned for a moment, let someone else do it for her, it doesn't matter, as long as she doesn't go, she doesn't care who is going to die!

In a blink of an eye, Xiao Tingxuan has been in the capital for more than ten days, and Li Sheng also proposed marriage, Xiao Tingxuan happily agreed, and the two sides reached an agreement, which was very harmonious and friendly.

On this day, it was already very late for Gu Junyan to return home, and Su Yunlai was still waiting for him.

"Didn't I say it, I'm coming back late, don't wait for me, you have to pay attention to rest." Gu Junyan couldn't help but say.

Su Yunlai shook his head, "I've slept a lot during the day, and I won't be sleepy." After a pause, she reached out and took off her coat for him, "Prince Xiao has been here for so long, it's time to go back, right?" ”

Gu Junyan nodded: "I'm going back soon, but today the emperor proposed the marriage, and it will take a few days to prepare the dowry for the princess." ”

"Princess Qinyang agreed?" Su Yunlai was a little surprised.

Gu Junyan felt strange about her attitude: "This is a marriage between the two countries, why should she refuse?" still doesn't agree obediently, it's good to sell the emperor, maybe the emperor can save the lives of the four princes for the sake of her distant marriage. ”

In fact, Princess Qinyang went to kiss, in addition to Princess Qinyang herself, it is good for the four princes and the Chen family, a princess who is friendly is a contribution to the country, and Li Sheng will fight the Chen family in the future, and he will also worry about the face of the Liao State, even if the two countries go to war in the future, Princess Qinyang is killed, from the perspective of the country, Li Sheng has to avenge her.

A princess who sacrifices her life for the country is much more influential than those princesses who have lived a mediocre life.

Su Yunlai frowned, thinking of how beautiful Princess Qinyang was at the birthday banquet of Emperor Qianyuan, and a trace of doubt flashed in her heart, would that arrogant woman really agree to the fate of her marriage?

"No one is allowed to think about it but me." Gu Jun stretched out his hand to cover her eyes and whispered in her ear.

Su Yunlai retracted his thoughts, pursed his lips and smiled, and held his hand: "What about the baby?" ”

Gu Junyan pulled her to lie on the bed, gently protected her abdomen, and whispered: "The baby has me, you can concentrate on me." ”

Su Yunlai leaned on his chest with a smile, in fact, she didn't want to think about it much, it was related to her previous experience, the entire second room had to rely on her, she was used to thinking a lot, and sometimes she couldn't control it at all.

Now someone is willing to think of everything for her, and this feeling is really a little magical.

Su Yunlai leaned on his shoulder and fell into a deep sleep.

Soon it will be the day when Xiao Tingxuan will leave Beijing, and before leaving, Li Sheng specially prepared a practice banquet for him, but the strange thing is that the place where the practice banquet is held in the General's Mansion.

This was requested by Princess Qinyang, who said that she was going to marry in the General's Mansion.

At the beginning, Princess Qinyang was happy with Gu Junyan, and she was jealous of Princess Wuyang, which was a big joke in the capital, because of this, Gu Junyan once had a title called Princess Killer.

This was the last request made by Princess Qinyang, and she couldn't refuse it because of her feelings and reason, so the practice banquet was set up in the General's Mansion.

Su Yunlai is pregnant, and it is difficult to arrange so many things, so he asked the Chen family to come over to help, Yun Huanting also sent a few people to operate, this day the general's mansion can be described as a mixed interpersonal relationship, Gu Junyan was worried about Su Yunlai's safety, and specially invited Qi Shuying to be with Su Yunlai.

Qi Shuying's strange power is also quite scary, she can resist for a while, and she can't find a rational number for others.

On this day, the people in the General's Mansion were so busy that their feet did not touch the ground, mainly because Princess Qinyang asked too much, and Su Yunlai thought that she was about to marry far away, and she was quite indulgent to her, so she turned the people of the entire General's Mansion on her back.

Qi Shuying went out to change her clothes, but she didn't come back for a long time, Su Yunlai sent someone to look for it, but she didn't find it, and she waited for a while, but she waited for Su Yunzhen.

Before Su Yunzhen practiced the banquet, she got better magically, because there was no way, no matter how bad she was, Qi Shuying was coming, she couldn't hide Qi Shuying, this time she also volunteered to come out to help, but Su Yunlai didn't agree.

"Seventh sister, seventh sister, go and take a look, I just saw that the third sister-in-law was taken out of the house by the princess's people." Su Yunzhen said anxiously.

Su Yunlai was taken aback and stood up suddenly, "Where did you see that?" ”

"It was in Gongfang's room just now, as soon as the third sister-in-law came out, it seemed that she had bumped into the princess's maid, and I quietly followed them, but I saw them go to the backyard, where I couldn't enter, so I came back to report to you." Su Yunzhen said anxiously.

Her words are consistent with the actual situation, Qi Shuying did not disappear after she went to change clothes.

Su Yunzhen said eagerly: "Seventh sister, you go and save the third sister-in-law, the princess is noble, what if it collides?" ”

After all, the princess is a female dependent, and Qi Shuying is her mother's family, she can't not show up no matter what, Su Yunlai nodded, and followed Jun Yao out with her.

Left and right this is the General's Mansion, her territory, she has nothing to fear.

Su Yunzhen has been bringing Su Yun to the backyard, and this time the guests are all in the front yard, and the backyard is forbidden to pass, so it is understandable that Su Yunzhen can't come.

When she arrived outside the door, Su Yunzhen stopped, "Seventh sister, this backyard is a forbidden place in the house, I won't go with you, and you will definitely be able to rescue the third sister-in-law." ”

Su Yunlai was a little surprised, she thought that Su Yunzhen would be with her, but she didn't expect to know each other so well, and she didn't go in when she got here.

Su Yunlai nodded, and then led someone in, Su Yunzhen looked at her back, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Su Yunzhen did all this, and according to the original plan, she was going to go back to her room, and then waited for Gu Junyan to come to her to ask for someone, and then she would take Gu Junyan to find Su Yunlai, thinking of this, her heart was hot.

She finally waited for this chance for revenge.

As soon as Su Yunzhen returned to her room, her eyes suddenly darkened, and she fainted.

The banquet was about to start, Li Sheng and all the ministers came to the General's Mansion in person, but everyone sat down, only to find that the protagonist was gone, and Xiao Tingxuan did not appear!

Li Sheng frowned slightly, glanced at Gu Junyan, Gu Junyan shook his head slightly, Yi Wen walked to the door at this time, glanced at Gu Junyan, Gu Junyan understood, and quietly walked out.

"The young lady is gone."

Gu Junyan was taken aback, "What about people?" ”

"It seems to have something to do with Miss Su Er, she went to see Madame, and after taking Madame away, Madame disappeared."

Gu Junyan didn't care about Xiao Tingxuan anymore, and hurriedly walked towards Su Yunzhen's courtyard, and as soon as he arrived at the courtyard gate, he heard a scream from inside.

"You, why are you here?! Where's my clothes! What did you do to me?! Su Yunzhen's sharp and piercing voice sounded.

Gu Junyan and Yi Wen were stunned for a moment, and without saying a word, they kicked open the door, and saw that Su Yunzhen was disheveled in the house, and there was another person in the house, which was Xiao Tingxuan, who had been missing for a long time just now!

Su Yunzhen saw Gu Junyan hurriedly covering his body with his clothes, and cried at Gu Junyan: "Young General, this person is inferior to me, you have to make the decision for me!" ”

Gu Junyan frowned slightly, ignored her words, and said, "What about Ah Wan?" Where did you take her! ”

A touch of resentment flashed in Su Yunzhen's eyes, she was looked at by others, and her innocence was not guaranteed, but he only cared about Su Yunlai! Didn't think about her feelings at all! She hated it in her heart, she couldn't understand why she was the one who stayed with Xiao Tingxuan!

Xiao Tingxuan frowned and said, "This girl, don't talk nonsense, it's obvious that you asked me to come, how can you say that I am inferior to you?!" ”

Su Yunzhen was stunned for a moment, she asked him? Xiao Tingxuan should have received a note, but it shouldn't be here! He should be with Su Yunlai, and then she took Gu Junyan to catch the traitor, how could the current situation become like this!

Yi Wen's eyes wandered around, and he coughed lowly, Gu Junyan glanced at him and knew that this matter was inseparable from him, but he didn't intend to say anything.

"Can any of you tell me what this is?" Gu Junyan asked in a deep voice, "Also, where did you take Ah Wan to?" ”

Su Yunzhen's mind turned quickly, now in this situation, her innocence is no longer guaranteed, I am afraid that she will marry this person, if she can let Gu Junyan help her, maybe she can still have a chance to get out, but in this way, between her and Gu Junyan, it is no longer possible.

She was in the same room with a man in disheveled clothes, Gu Junyan could no longer ask her, thinking that her calculation had fallen short, her heart was bleeding again!

What went wrong? That's not how the plan should be! It should be that she lured Su Yunlai out, and that noble person would naturally ask Xiao Tingxuan to see Su Yunlai, and then she would take Gu Junyan to catch the traitor, and in front of everyone's eyes, Su Yunlai couldn't speak clearly.

But why is she the object of rape now? And Xiao Tingxuan insisted that she asked him to come! Could it be that the noble man was lying to her?

Su Yunzhen's heart was in turmoil, and I have to say that her concentration can also be called in danger.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps, and Su Yunlai and Qi Shuying walked over slowly: "What happened, let me tell you." ”

Su Yunzhen looked up and looked at her with hatred.
