Act 154 The Iron Wolf Envoy Visits
At the end of the banquet, a hundred miles of urgency came from the border gate, and the emperor was overjoyed after seeing it, but his tone was mixed, "It seems that Mr. Xuanyu is going to stay in the imperial capital for a little more time this time." ”
"It is incumbent upon the people to serve the emperor."
The emperor had already noticed the appearance of the ninth prince who wanted to speak and stopped, and told with a look on his face, "Take care of your family and remember not to act rashly during the visit of the envoys." ”
"The subordinate brother must urge." The Nine Princes bowed respectfully.
"Princess Huayang bothered the prince to appease him more." After Yu Xuanxun finished speaking, he followed the emperor and left.
Knowing that this letter had nothing to do with the eldest brother Yujing, he asked emphatically, "But there is good news from the border pass?" What did Big Brother say? ”
His footsteps suddenly stopped, and he glanced at Mr. Xuan Yu beside him, and he retreated first. After a while, he explained, "Your eldest brother's military ability is not inferior to your father's, and the Iron Wolf Small Kingdom has been defeated by Yujing several times. As a result, their armies were defeated one after another, and when they were defeated, they even proposed to sue for peace with our dynasty. Now the envoys are already on their way to the imperial capital, and this time the Yujing Committee has made a great contribution. ”
Yu Xuanxun caught up with the emperor's footsteps, and did not have the heart to be happy about the great achievements of the eldest brother, and said with a puzzled face, "Since our army has won a great victory, why do you have to agree to their request?" Just let them sign the letter, I'm afraid there are some unknown secrets, the emperor should be careful to plan. ”
"Looks like you still care about me." The emperor's eyebrows were pleased, "The Iron Wolf Clan was born as a fighting race, and it would not be beneficial for us to drive them all into a corner. Killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred, even if you win, what's the point, the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and prosper. ”
The emperor's concern for the country and the people made Yuxuanxun very pleased, after all, this is the country that his father desperately wants to protect.
"The concubine has arrived, so the emperor should go to deal with state affairs earlier." Yuxuan looked at Naruhito Palace and urged.
The emperor paused, imprinted a kiss on her forehead, and finally walked away.
For this reason, Shi Ruomei joked that her relationship with the emperor has been restored, and it is as sweet as ever. The two girls of Magpie and Luo'er also smiled.
Within two days, the envoys arrived, and the emperor and the ministers held a banquet to entertain them, and the other party even handed over a letter of request for peace, and even proposed to marry the Ziqing Dynasty.
Although the emperor did not give a clear response, in order to ensure their safety, he even ordered the eleventh prince to protect him personally, which made Shi Ruomei a little excited.
Because she heard that the other party's envoy was actually the princess of the Iron Wolf tribe, this time the princess came to discuss peace in person. Thinking of Princess Iron Wolf's heroic demeanor, Shi Ruomei, who was about to move, couldn't hold back the longing in his heart.
What's more, because of her kindness's proposal, she was worried that the eleventh prince would be taken by this princess, so she ignored Yu Xuanxun's reminder and secretly slipped away to the place where the envoy lived in disguise.
Yu Xuanxun was practicing calligraphy in the study, and the magpie came in a panic, "Niangniang, it's not good." Miss Shi is afraid that she is going to get into trouble. ”
"What happened?" Yu Xuanxun suddenly realized something, and exclaimed, "She still went to the embassy, right?" ”
"Niangniang, let's hurry up and stop her, don't embarrass the eleventh prince."
Yu Xuanxun hurriedly dropped the brush, ignoring the others who rushed to the embassy with the magpie Luo'er, but listening to the magpie's explanation, he was worried in his heart, and secretly prayed that she would not make trouble.
I saw her standing at the door from a distance, so I decisively pulled her away, "Go back with the palace, you shouldn't come here." ”
"Wait, Twist." Shi Ruomei, who was unwilling to follow her away, seemed to hear the unusual movement inside, and hurriedly shook her off and rushed in.
Yuxuan Xun frowned deeply, "Why don't you go and pull her back." His footsteps hurried along with their backs.
Before he got close, a series of screams came out, and when he got closer, he found that the black-clothed assassin was fighting with the eleventh prince, and the magpie and Luo Er tightly held the emotional Shi Ruomei.
Soon, the guards who heard the movement swarmed in and surrounded them.
"Be careful." Shi Ruomei nervously protected her behind him, and his eyes kept falling on the figure of the eleventh prince, "It seems that these people are deliberately here to stir up trouble." ”
Yu Xuanxun also saw the clue, these assassins did not seem to intend to take the lives of the other party, but only intentionally or unintentionally attacked the envoys and their party.
After a fight, several black-clothed assassins were subdued, but they committed suicide one after another, and the last assassin even waited for the opportunity to stab the eleventh prince, and blood immediately gushed out.
Shi Ruomei was worried and hurriedly rushed over to investigate the injury, and sighed happily, "Fortunately, it didn't hurt the vital point, who are they?" ”
"That's exactly what I want to ask." The envoy came out aggressively and asked, "I came all the way to show goodwill with the sincerity of the Iron Wolf Clan, but I was assassinated for no reason, do you know that the envoy's guards were killed by them." ”
Before the words fell, the deadly guard was carried out.
Shi Ruomei stared at her for a long time, and teased, "If your Iron Wolf Small Country really intends to seek peace, why did you send you, a female streamer, over, I don't think we have taken our Ziqing Dynasty in our eyes at all." still vainly want to get married, I think it's clearly your long-planned conspiracy. ”
"If the eyebrows are unreasonable." The eleventh prince hurriedly warned.
The envoy was suddenly angry, and he pulled out the whip on his waist and was about to fight back to vent, but Yuxuan Xun saw this and hurriedly stopped in the middle to persuade him, "The envoy is not angry, this girl has no malicious intent, but I just admire that all of your iron wolf tribes are experts on horseback, and my heart is full of joy." ”
forcibly suppressed the emotional Shi Ruomei to the side of the eleventh prince, "If there is any conflict in the words, I hope to forgive me, as for today's matter, the eleventh prince will definitely make it clear to the emperor, and he will definitely give the envoy a satisfactory answer." ”
"That's the best." The attitude of the envoy is still tense, "The Ziqing Dynasty is a big country, and even the guards of the envoys of a small country can't protect it, and if it spreads to neighboring countries, it is really ridiculous and generous." ”
As soon as Yu Xuanxun heard her laughing at her country, as a child of Ziqing and a concubine in the harem, she immediately stopped following it, and replied with a light smile, "It is said that all of your Iron Wolf tribes are born fighting experts, and they can survive no matter what difficult circumstances they encounter." The envoy's guards must have been experienced tribal masters, how could they lose their instincts when they arrived in a comfortable place, and they died so easily. ”
"Who are you, and why are you so disrespectful?" The envoy stared at her viciously, "Could it be that the rules of the Ziqing Dynasty treat envoys like this?" ”
"Before questioning someone's identity, the least politeness should be to declare your identity, are you male or female?" Shi Ruomei insisted on his guess unrelentingly.
The eleventh prince pulled her over with a headache, "This is the concubine of Deren Palace, and this time I came here to see the heroic appearance of the Iron Wolf Clan, and I hope the envoys will forgive me." ”
"Today, the envoy was frightened, we will definitely investigate the identity and background of these people, and we will send more people to protect your safety before that." The eleventh prince undoubtedly dragged Shi Ruomei away, "We will not disturb the envoys to rest, and we will leave first." ”
Yu Xuanxun looked at their resolute backs and restrained his exploration of them, and nodded with a light smile to evacuate.
Unexpectedly, he was stopped by the envoy, "Looking for the concubine is slow." Without hesitation, he tore off his hat, his black and bright hair, and explained unabashedly, "Actually, I am the princess of the Iron Wolf Clan, named Tie Haitang." This time, I came here to find a kiss for my brother Tie Junshan. ”
"Could it be that the main content of the peace proposal is harmony?" Yu Xuanxun was surprised by this.
Tie Haitang had a face full of victory, and said with a confident smile, "My brother has been shy since he was a child, and he doesn't look like a person from our tribe at all, but who made him my own brother again." In this defeat, my father Khan asked for nothing but a family affair for his brother, so that the friendly agreement between our two countries could be further consolidated. ”
"It seems that you really took great pains, princess." Yu Xuan asked curiously, "Looking at the princess's expression, it seems that she has found the object, I don't know who it is?" ”
Tie Haitang wanted to talk and replied with interest, "This person still needs to be examined and the princess will be observed, but your actions should be sharper, and you can't let the princess's guards die in your palace so inexplicably." ”
"Rest assured, the people of our dynasty are efficient, and I believe that the results will be produced soon." Squinting at the corpse on the ground, he reminded, "But before that, I hope the princess will not act rashly." ”
"Looking for the concubine and Niangniang go slowly, and this princess will not be far away."
The eleventh prince and Shi Ruomei were waiting outside the door, and when they saw Yuxuan coming out, they hurriedly asked, "She didn't do anything to you, did she?" ”
"You guessed correctly, the envoy is the princess of the Iron Wolf Clan, Iron Begonia." Yuxuanxun told the news to Shi Ruomei, who had been caring, with great interest, "Her purpose is not simple, you have to be careful." ”
Looking at the eleventh prince with a blank look, Shi Ruomei, who was harmed, also became nervous, and asked suspiciously, "She can't say anything to you, right?" Is it ......?"
"It's definitely not true." The eleventh prince hurriedly pushed back, "This king only wants to marry Ruomei in this life, and what he has to do with his relatives has nothing to do with this king." ”
"If the emperor orders to come down, there is no room for you to resist." Shi Ruo's eyebrows sourly teased, "This iron begonia looks good, and it is also a good choice to be in front of a barbarian horse." ”
"Shi Ruomei ......"
Yu Xuanxun couldn't help but smile when he looked at their vindictiveness for this, "This palace is joking, look at you who are nervous." ”
"Yu Xuanxun, when did you still make such jokes, it's really out of proportion." Shi Ruomei was not angry.
Yu Xuanxun immediately looked serious, "The appearance of an assassin in the palace seems to be someone who deliberately sabotaged the friendship between the two countries this time, in order to protect the friendship between the two countries, we must find out the black hand behind the manipulation as soon as possible." ”
"This matter must be investigated by the king to the end, and it is really hateful to openly assassinate in front of this king."
