Chapter 141: Suspicion is born
Early the next morning, Zhang Lun received a notice from the post house, came into the hall, and said to Shen Chong, who was having breakfast:
"Your Majesty, early this morning, a rare bird did fly in the courtyard of Emperor Cangqiu, really like the second princess of the Feng Ming Kingdom predicted, the red head, the buttocks, the phoenix tail, the dragon pattern, and the turtle body, all of which were fiery red, stopped at the branch for a while and flew away."
Shen Chong listened, a little unable to eat, contemplated for a while, and ordered:
"Draw a portrait, find someone to identify the species of the bird, and send someone to secretly investigate the origin of the bird."
Zhang Lun knew that Shen Chong felt that something was wrong, and he was not at ease, and wanted to find out the ins and outs.
With a slight twinkle in his eyes, he answered and retreated.
At the same time, Emperor Chiyang, who had just stayed in the post house, accidentally learned the prophecy given to Emperor Cangqiu by the second princess of the Feng Netherworld yesterday, and today there was really a divine bird that had never been seen in Emperor Cangqiu's courtyard.
Emperor Chiyang became interested in this matter, and he also paid attention to the second princess who had succeeded in divination.
"Interesting!" He laughs.
Jade Qiongxuan.
The big red bird with a red body was put into the amber medicinal soup, and after a while, the bright red faded away, revealing the original gray and white color, and the phoenix bird that was still bright and gorgeous just now became a stupid and ugly stupid chicken.
The big bird was a little dissatisfied, flapping its wings and calling twice in protest.
Si Shi cleaned the big bird, dried it, and handed it to Chenguang.
Morninglight smiled and rubbed its dry feathers.
In the distance, the big cat squatted at the base of the wall, staring at the big bird with bright eyes and drooling.
The big bird shook three times.
Fire Dance walked in from the outside and whispered:
"Your Highness, Chang Xi has passed the news, and Emperor Chiyang already knows the news."
Chenguang smiled.
"North Vietnam is still halfway there, and it is estimated that it will take seven or eight days to arrive."
"Huadu is not far from Qi'an, but he was the last to arrive, and even Cangqiu Country didn't dare to take a stand in front of Chiyang Kingdom, he was so bold that he deserved to die in the country."
"Han Zheng came this time, maybe the first to come was Rong Wangfu, to ask His Royal Highness why he didn't agree to Beiyue's courtship, but he went to Longxi Kingdom to make peace." Si Ba pursed his lips and said with a smile.
Legend has it that when Princess Chenguang became famous, the emperor of Yanyun Kingdom wanted to accept her as a concubine, and Nanyue Kingdom and Cangqiu Kingdom were also ready to move, these rumors were naturally false, and the only truth was not put on the table, that is, the first to propose to Princess Chenguang was Beiyue Kingdom, which was rejected by Chenguang.
Chenguang smiled and replied softly:
"This is also used to ask, the reason is, of course, that the North Vietnamese country is about to die."
Fire Dance and the others all laughed.
Because the North Vietnamese delegation has not arrived for a long time, and the reception banquet cannot be held, the six countries represented by the Chiyang State are very annoyed, if a powerful country makes them wait, they can only wait, but the North Vietnamese country is just a poor and broken country that is more arrogant than anyone else, and no one is comfortable in letting the other six countries wait for such a country. What's more, the biggest issue of the Seven Congresses this time is to discuss the matter of raising the price of salt in North Vietnam without authorization, and the high price of salt has affected the commerce of the six countries, and now no country is happy with North Vietnam.
Chenguang believes that the dignity in Han Zheng's heart is not dignity, it is looking for death.
The reception banquet can't be held, and the meeting can't be held, so Long Xiguo must prepare activities to help the fun.
So Long Xiguo invited Cangqiu and Chiyang to visit a military exercise of Long Xiguo.
It was this military exercise that caused deeper unhappiness between Cangqiu Kingdom and Long Xi Kingdom.
Shen Chong had already held a grudge before the Cangqiu Kingdom sent spies to the Longxi Kingdom to spy on the secrets of the Long Xi Kingdom, especially after Si Xuerou inserted a lever sideways and caused Shen Chong's hopes of using Shen Qingyi to prolong the stability of the Long Xi Kingdom was dashed, he simply became tough. In addition, the arrogance of the Chiyang Kingdom frequently angered the Cangqiu Kingdom, and the Cangqiu Kingdom did not dare to confront the Chiyang Kingdom, so he sprinkled the anger in his heart on Long Xiguo.
Big fish eat small fish and small fish eat dried shrimp, this is normal, but Long Xiguo, who has already resisted, does not want to be submissive, Cangqiu Guo's attitude angered Shen Chong, so when the two countries were exercising, Shen Chong fought with the strength of Long Xiguo and fought fiercely with Cangqiu Guo, although the final result was still a bad move for Long Xiguo, but Cangqiu Guo was also heavily defeated.
Wu Xing is definitely a person who holds grudges, and his face is about to wring out ink.
Shen Chong's heart was very happy, it took him half a lifetime to finally rectify the military strength of Longxi Kingdom, and now, it was time for him to realize his greatest ambition, Cangqiu Country was his most important step, and it was his springboard to the greatest success of Longxi Kingdom.
The North Vietnamese delegation finally arrived in Ki An, led by the North Vietnamese Emperor Han Zheng.
On the day the North Vietnamese mission arrived, in the evening, Shen Run suddenly came to Yuqiongxuan with a calm face. Chenguang was having dinner, and he came in halfway through eating, and she was very surprised, and saw that his face was not good, and asked cautiously:
"What's wrong?"
"I heard Shen Yan say today that my father intended to let Qingyi go to Cangqiu Country to make peace, and he said that it was you and his princess who said it." Shen Run frowned.
“…… Well. The morning light was muffled for a while, and then answered.
"Where did you hear that?"
"What Qing Yi said, she said that her father told her alone, and the Seven Kingdoms wanted her to marry to Cangqiu Country after that."
"This girl, why didn't you tell me?!" Shen Run was furious, Huo Di stood up and walked out.
Morning Light grabbed him.
"Don't go!" She puffed out her mouth and objected softly.
Shen Run didn't expect her to actually hold him, he was stunned for a moment, and looked back at her.
"Qingyi didn't let me tell you because she was afraid that you would know, she said that if you knew you, you would definitely go to your father to ask her father to take back her fate, but my father would not agree, when you and my father disagreed, my father would definitely be angry, and you finally got my father's liking, even if you destroy your father's liking for you now, it is impossible for my father to take back the order, my father has already decided."
Shen Run looked at her, he knew that what she said was right, he was very disheartened with Shen Chong now, Shen Qingyi was Shen Chong's daughter, Shen Chong actually wanted to marry his daughter to an old man who was more than ten years older than himself, their brother and sister were really not welcomed.
"Xiao Run, don't worry, I already have a way, it doesn't matter if my father doesn't make sense, as long as Emperor Cangqiu doesn't look down on Qingyi." Chenguang said with a triumphant smile.
Shen Run was slightly stunned, and doubted: "What method?" ”
"Don't worry about it, I have a way, you'll know after the Seven Kingdoms Banquet." Chenguang said with a smile.
Shen Run looked at her confident face, he felt a little warm, she was so worried about his sister's affairs.
Whether it succeeds or not, he should be grateful to her.
He squeezed her hand.
