For many years, Mobei has been a plate of scattered sand, this is the first time that Mobei has a unified king, and this banquet is very important. Kou Shu also didn't dare to slack off, Ripple and Mandarin Duck changed Kou Shu into the queen's ceremonial court clothes, and were busy combing Kou Shu's hair and hairpin, and putting on the nine-tailed gilded phoenix hairpin.

"Queen Mother, the emperor asked the servants to come and pass the word, the time is almost up." Su Peiyuan's voice came from outside the tent.

The mandarin duck replied, "This is coming." ”

On behalf of the banquet between countries, the meaning of various details is very subtle, if the emperor and the queen attend together, it is to show respect and friendship, so Song Jinyan has this question.

Not long after, Kou Shu and Song Jinyan arrived at the banquet.

Seeing the people at the banquet, a hint of epiphany flashed in Kou Shu's eyes, this person's name is Tuoba Xiong, Mobei people advocate force, love fighting, the Mobei king in front of him has a big waist and a round waist, wearing a fox fur coat, and a necklace made of animal teeth around his neck.

"Emperor Daxuan, we Mobei people are all rough people, the first time we met, I drank three times first." As soon as Song Jinyan sat down, Tuoba Xiong picked up the wine cup and said heroically towards Song Jinyan. After speaking, he put the wine cup to his mouth and drank three glasses in a row.

"Happy!" With a loud shout, Tuoba Xiong continued, "Our desert north is sparsely populated, and there are no good things, some of the hospitality is not good, I hope you will forgive me." ”

Kou Shu smiled and nodded, then waved his hand and said: "Where did the king of Mobei say, I Daxuan is located in the mountains and forests, it is rare to come to see the customs of the desert here, and experience the delicacies of the desert, how can it be said that the hospitality is not good." ”

Tuoba Xiong laughed and said, "What Empress Daxuan said is that it is very natural to be so natural. After speaking, he clapped his hands and continued: "Although my Mobei is not as rich as Daxuan's land, I am absolutely sincere to my friends. ”

After that, everyone's eyes looked behind Tuoba Xiong, and they saw a big black bird with a uniform body and full of energy, a pair of bright eyes looking around with the neck stretching and shrinking, but it was not afraid under the gaze of everyone. Apparently not an extraordinary bird.

"This is—" A trace of hesitation flashed in Song Jinyan's eyes, "Hai Dongqing?" ”

Haidongqing is a rare bird for thousands of years. According to legend, the former prime minister Shi was born in poverty, and his original nationality was unknown. One day, an injured Hai Dongqing flew into the house, Shi Bei asked the mother for kindness, bandaged Hai Dongqing's wounds, fed food, and took care of Hai Dongqing for three days. Since then, Shi has been ranked first in the imperial examination, and then he was appreciated by the Hanlin at that time, and has been rising to the top, and has always become the prime minister above 10,000 people under one person.

There are even more folk people: one bird, two Buddhas and three Bodhisattvas, one said, and the bird in it is Haidongqing.

Tuoba Xiong's head turned slightly, and when he saw the surprise in everyone's eyes, a trace of pride flashed in his eyes: "Everyone's guess is good." This is the unique sacred bird Haidongqing in my Mobei. ”

Subsequently, Tuoba Xiong said: "Haidong Qing, variegated is the bottom, brown is slightly better, white is rare, and such a pure black Haidong Qing is peerless, and it is difficult to produce one in a hundred years!" ”

Everyone sighed and admired, but they didn't expect King Mobei to be so generous. All of you here are people who have seen the world, although Hai Dongqing is a divine bird, but it is not really shocked by a bird, but Mobei has been in dispute for many years, and now it is rare to be unified, and the first time to declare good to the big one, the political implication in this is a little subtle.

Song Jinyan laughed, seemed to be in a very good mood, and said loudly: "King Mobei is so generous, I really deserve it." ”

Lan Ruoxuan said in a timely manner on the side: "In the past, Mobei was full of stragglers, but now with you, the emperor of Mobei, the country will be rich and the people will be strong in the future, just around the corner." After that, he and Tuoba Xiong's eyes met, and there seemed to be a flash of light in his eyes.

"Good!" Tuoba Xiong laughed heartily: "Then borrow the auspicious words of Concubine Lan." Come and sing and dance. ”

Tuoba Xiong gave an order, and more than a dozen Mobei girls wearing tulle rushed in, with a little red dot on their eyebrows, love in their eyes, and their slender waists swaying with exotic music, full of charm, and there was a different style from Daxuan that made people intoxicated.

"Ahh

Everyone's attention was attracted by the ripples, and looking at the ripples' hands, everyone gasped. Hai Dongqing, who was still alive just now, was lying on the ground dying, his eyes were slightly closed, and he looked like he was about to die. Everyone watched in disbelief, and after a while, under the gaze of everyone, Hai Dongqing's eyes turned white and he died directly.

Lan Ruoxuan was so frightened that she hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand. But there was still infinite surprise in his eyes.

Song Jinyan also frowned, a bird is nothing, the key is that this bird is a gift from the Emperor Mobei, besides, there are rumors among the people that Hai Dongqing is a good omen, and now this auspicious omen is actually dead, isn't this a crisp slap in the face.

"King—" A man dressed as a wizard rushed out of the back tent, his brows furrowed, and his steps hurried: "King, something is wrong. ”

Tuoba Xiong looked at the person in front of him, and his face was a little gloomy: "Elder Wu, what do you mean by this?" ”

Kou Shu looked the man's dress up and down. I saw that the man was holding a pitch-black cane, wearing an ink-colored robe with a black gauze sewn on it. exudes a strange and eerie atmosphere.

It is said that the people of Mobei are very superstitious about witchcraft, there is a type of people who specialize in witchcraft divination, and powerful families will have their own exclusive witchcraft elders, Kou Shu secretly said in his heart, it seems that this person is the witchcraft elder under the king of Mobei.

I saw that the man coughed violently twice, and his voice was hoarse and vicissitudes: "Back to the king, today is a good day for the diplomatic relations between my Mobei and Daxuan, and the future of both countries is a bright galaxy, extremely bright." However, I had just divined, but I didn't know why, but there was a black fog blocking my way. ”

Song Jinyan's face became even more ugly: "This Hai Dongqing died because of this?" ”

When the man heard this, he bowed his head and saluted Song Jinyan very respectfully, and said: "Emperor Daxuan is polite, back to Emperor Daxuan, Haidongqing is a divine bird, Xiang Ji is not, and he will avoid evil when encountering evil." Today, it is only when you encounter a great evil thing that you will die violently. ”

Lan Ruoxuan frowned and said, "But we are all in the palace, how can there be any fierce people?" ”

"This ......" Elder Wu frowned as if he was thinking about something, and then said, "I don't know if among the nobles here, have any of them been poisoned, or have been poisoned?" ”
