Chapter 12: The Envoys

The red girl was still dressed in red, and the mask covered her entire face, and she couldn't see her joy and anger clearly.

She stood there with her hands at her sides, her whole body exuding a cold aura.

"His Majesty the Emperor is right, I will definitely come to such a major event as the war between the two countries." The Red Girl's tone sounded careless, and she tilted her head slightly as she spoke.

The emperor seemed to have gotten used to the attitude of the red girl, and he didn't get angry, but just snorted coldly, "This time, what do you want me to do?" ”

Last time, Chi Nu gave him a letter saying that the envoys of Western Vietnam were coming to Nanyu, and he did not have complete suspicions, otherwise he would not have turned to Empress Xia. Of course, he didn't expect that it wouldn't be long before his eyeliner in the frontier sent a message with the same news.

This made the emperor's understanding of the Red Maiden deeper.

For the first time, Concubine Wang Shu's incident let him know that this woman was very familiar with the road of the palace and even the defense of the palace, thinking that she was probably someone in the palace. The second incident of Xiyue let him know that this woman's status would not be too low.

So, what about this third time?

What kind of horse's feet will the red girl show?

"Doesn't His Majesty the Emperor have a Zhaoyi named Xie Fanghua? I heard that she is still trapped in Jinhua Temple, and my suggestion is to send her to Zhoujia Temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and no one is allowed to see her. ”

"Why?"

Chi Nu replied: "It seems that it is to punish her in disguise, but it is actually to appease General Murong. In this expedition, His Majesty the Emperor chose to stand on the side of Empress Xia in order to gain the loyalty of General Xia Lingsheng and offended Concubine Yu Guifei and offended Yu Shangshu. So now, why can't you let Xie Zhaoyi out of the palace for a while, so that General Murong can serve Your Majesty wholeheartedly. ”

The Red Girl can convince herself of her reasons every time. Every time, the reason seems to be for his own good. But the emperor never believed it, how could this woman of unknown origin really help himself and stand on his side?

The Emperor sneered, "You really help me everywhere!" ”

Chi Nu spread her hands and shrugged her shoulders, "Who called me Nanyu, not Beidi, not the night of Xiyue?" After a pause, she said again: "At this point, His Majesty the Emperor is willing to do what he wants, let's see what he does!" After that, the emperor only felt a gust of wind blowing, and the red girl was gone, and the sound was gone.

Calm returned to the study.

The emperor got up slowly, frowned, and looked at where the red girl was standing just now, while Murong Jin also walked out of the side hall, and also looked in that direction.

After a while, the emperor said: "General Murong is strong in martial arts, what do you think, how is this person's martial arts?" ”

Murong Jin locked his eyebrows and pondered for a moment, "This person has very good light skills, even a few levels higher than Wei Chen. But martial arts...... It shouldn't be that good. ”

The Emperor said, "I have paid attention to her voice, but I have found that her voice seems to be different every time. ”

Murong Jin was silent, and it was quiet in the imperial study.

After a long time, the emperor sat down, closed his eyes, and exhaled a breath of turbidity, "I won't use the imperial study in the future." Let's go back to Chen's house. ”

Leaving Murong Jin, his purpose was to find out the bottom of the naked girl, since Murong Jin said that the woman's martial arts were not good, he didn't need to worry too much. Originally, he was quietly correcting the folds in the imperial study alone, but there was a person behind him in the house, and he felt somewhat cold, so he let Murong Jin go back.

Murong Jin was stunned, the emotional emperor kept him only for the woman in red? Reacting, Murong Jin arched his hand, "Yes." "No dissatisfaction, just loss - leaving the palace and seeing Fu Xi again, it will be difficult.

The envoys of the Western Vietnamese arrived in the capital on the third day after Xia Lingsheng returned to Beijing. The emperor sent Xia Lingsheng and Murong Jin to receive them together, which shows that he attached great importance to Xiyue, or rather to this war.

The emperor received the envoys of Western Vietnam in the imperial study. The ministers of the DPRK and China present, in addition to Murong Jin and Xia Lingsheng, there were also Prime Minister Xie Laocheng, Yu Shangshu and two other high-ranking officials.

The envoys of the Western Yue were very tall, half a head taller than the average man in Nanyu, and they were very strong, and if they wore armor, they probably looked like generals who could fight well.

"The envoy sent me to Nanyu this time, I think it is Xiyue who is preparing to send troops, right?" The emperor sat on a high seat, stood up, tilted his head slightly, and looked condescendingly at the envoys of the Western Vietnamese.

The envoy of Xiyue gave a Xiyue salute and said respectfully: "Your Majesty Nanyu, you also know the rules of Xiyue, and Weichen came here to tell you that my Great Xiyue has gathered 400,000 troops, and will officially launch an attack on Nanyu at the end of June." This time the leader is our West Vietnamese general Lu Han, his name, you must have heard of it, right? ”

The Western Vietnamese envoy said triumphantly.

Yes, they've all heard of it.

Especially Xia Lingsheng, when he heard this name, his heart tightened, and his brows unconsciously locked deeply.

Lu Han, that one is a legendary-level big man.

Xia Lingsheng fought with the first emperor at the age of twelve, and he followed the war for four years, and when he was sixteen years old, this Lu Han appeared. Eighteen-year-old Lu Han made him suffer the biggest defeat in history - because Lu Han has never been defeated.

The emperor had naturally heard of it, and even had a little fear of this person, but how could he show that kind of attitude in front of the enemy? With a sneer, he said, "It seems that the words of the envoy of Xiyue have already been finished?" You can rest assured that Nanyu will not be defeated. also went back and told Lu Han that there was someone in Nanyu who could beat him to the ground. ”

Naturally, the emperor would not let the Western Vietnamese envoys be injured, on the contrary, he had to protect the Western Vietnamese envoys.

Hearing this, the envoys of the West Vietnam should be the envoys.

The news of the Xiyue envoys meeting the emperor quickly spread in the palace, and naturally, Xie Fanghua learned about it from his own eyeliner.

Moreover, people know that in this expedition, the emperor will definitely send General Xia Lingsheng as the main general and Murong Jin as the deputy general.

In the harem, there are anxious and restless such as Queen Xia, some who watch good dramas such as Yu Guifei, and some who are indifferent such as Wang Shufei.

Of course, there is also Xie Zhaoyi, who is always calm.

Xie Fanghua was framing her own landscape painting, she changed into a simple white plain clothes, bent over, and carefully repaired her landscape painting.

Qingzhi stood in front of her, quietly watching the movements in Xie Fanghua's hands.

Xie Fanghua put down the tools in his hand, took out the hand towel and wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and then put the hand towel away, "Clean up first." I'll continue to mount it tomorrow. ”

"Yes."

She sat in her position and watched Qingzhi clean up, but her heart drifted into the distance.

"Zhaoyi Niangniang, Zhaoyi Niangniang." The call of the maidservant came from outside the house, which pulled Xie Fanghua's thoughts back.

Qingzhi had already put away the painting, looking at the maid who ran in in a panic, Qingzhi frowned and scolded: "Panic, what kind of system?" ”

As soon as the maidservant heard that Xie Zhaoyi's henchmen were so responsible, she quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.

Qingzhi didn't expect this maid to make such a move, so she hurriedly called her up and asked, "Is something wrong?" ”

"Your Majesty's father-in-law Sheng Zong is here......"

When Xie Fanghua heard this, he got up, glanced at Qingzhi, and then at the servant girl with her head down, and then stepped out of the door.

Qingzhi and the maidservant soon followed.

Sheng Zong led a group of people, holding a golden dossier in his hand, and walked quickly in the direction of Xie Fanghua.

It is the emperor's decree.

Seeing that thing, Xie Fanghua hesitated for a moment before kneeling down to listen to the order. And Qingzhi and the maidservant had already knelt early.

Sheng Zong looked at them with satisfaction, nodded with a smile, and then skillfully pulled out the holy decree and read: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said." Xie Zhaoyi, because he was under house arrest in Jinhua Hall for many days, and the recent war was imminent, he was sent to Zhoujia Temple to eat fast and recite Buddha, and no one was visible. Chin thisβ€”"

The shrill voice was so long that Xie Fanghua felt very uncomfortable to listen to, but she still stretched out her hands to receive the holy decree, and was helped up by Qingzhi again.

"Xie Fanghua, thank you father-in-law for taking the order." Xie Fanghua smiled meaningfully, then gave Qingzhi a look, and saw Qingzhi take out a money bag from his sleeve and hand it to Sheng Zong.

Sheng Zong took the money bag with a smile on his face, weighed it, and put the money bag away with a smile, "Thank you, Niangniang." Our family has to go back to our lives, one step ahead. ”

Xie Fanghua nodded, and saw Sheng Zong coming and leaving with people. Glancing at the servant girl again, the other party's body trembled.

"Go down too." Xie Fanghua said lightly.

She couldn't figure it out, was she that scary? Wherever you go, you always have to scare a few people.

When the maid heard this, she trotted away in a hurry, ran for a while, and almost fell. Xie Fanghua looked at this scene and smiled helplessly, before throwing the holy decree to Qingzhi and entering the house, "Qingzhi, clean up and prepare to go to Zhoujia Temple." ”

As soon as Qingzhi entered the door, he heard Xie Fanghua say this, coupled with the inexplicable holy decree of Sheng Zong just now, which made Qingzhi a little confused, "Niangniang, what are you doing in such a hurry?" ”

"Don't ask, go and clean up, and go to Zhoujia Temple in three days," after a pause, she reacted, "Wait, I remember that my mother is also in Zhoujia Temple, right?" ”

Zhoujia Temple is not far from the capital, three or four days away.

"Yes, yes." Qingzhi thought about it and nodded.

Hearing this, Xie Fanghua sighed, "It's okay." You can do it. ”

.

As soon as Murong Jin returned to the gate of Chen's mansion, before he could go to find Chen Bozhong, he was stopped by Chen Zhiyan and Xie Enran.

"Why are you two here?"

Xie Eran scratched his head, "Didn't we hear that Brother Jin went to pick up the envoys of Xiyue to see Your Majesty, and then ...... Ahem, I want to know something about the war in West Vietnam. ”

Chen Zhiyi took his hand and echoed with a smile: "Yes, Brother Jin, you tell us!" ”

"You two little kids, what do you know all this for?" Murong Jin shook his head helplessly and said.

"What a child, we're obviously about the same age." Chen Zhiyan and Xie Eran were very dissatisfied and replied like this.

Murong Jin walked forward, "Let's go." Go to the backyard of Zhiyu, I'll tell you carefully. ”

Chen Zhiyi and Xie Enran glanced at each other, and happily followed Murong Jin's footsteps.
