Su Muxian and Xia Jin glanced at each other.

The news surprised and shocked them.

Luo Qian challenged Princess Beiliang, at this juncture, without thinking about it, they knew that Luo Qian was trying to relieve their predicament.

Beiliang Kingdom advocates the strong, otherwise Princess Beiliang would not have taken a fancy to Su Muxian. Of course, part of the reason is that Su Muxian is handsome and young, which is also what makes Princess Beiliang's heart move.

Luo Qian's appearance is also very good, and his martial arts are not bad - the last time he was injured was purely due to his lack of combat experience, and he had no experience in fighting to the death. He is about the same age as Su Muxian. If he intends to marry Princess Beiliang, but Su Muxian would rather die than obey, Princess Beiliang will naturally choose him instead of holding Su Muxian to it.

And now that he has come out to challenge, he has made it clear to the people of the two countries that he wants to replace Su Muxian and become the son-in-law of Beiliang Kingdom.

What girl doesn't have a spring? Even if Princess Beiliang is strong and capable, she will be thrilled when she thinks about it, and when she sees Luo Qian, she will throw Su Muxian out of the clouds.

Straightening out these in their minds in an instant, Su Muxian and Xia Jin's moods were extremely complicated.

Who wants to leave their homeland and go to a strange country to be someone's son-in-law? What's more, Luo Qian, as a lifter, took the initiative to invite Ying to come to the border to fight the enemy, he was able to write and martial arts, and with Cen Yi's appreciation and recommendation, it would not be difficult to hold a high position in the Ministry of War in the future. As long as you return to Beijing, the future is visible; With his ability, he will definitely be able to rise to the top in the future. When the time comes, if you choose a favorite woman among the nobles in Beijing to marry, your life will be very happy.

And now, he has abandoned his bright future, his relatives and the privileged living environment, and ran to discuss marriage with Princess Beiliang, for only one reason. That is to fulfill Su Muxian and Xia Jin. In the end, it's just for Xia Jin.

He wished Xia Jin happiness.

This kind of friendship made Xia Jin's heart feel uncomfortable.

In contrast, she was more willing to postpone the family affair and work with Su Muxian to solve the problem of Beiliang Kingdom.

"I went and told him he didn't have to. Our affairs, we solve them ourselves. Su Muxian said to Xia Jin. Turn around and get on your horse. Tall and tall figure. Under the light of the sun, it becomes more and more heroic.

It is enough to have Su Muxian's words. Xia Jin naturally wouldn't push everything to him and let him handle it alone. After all, Luo Qian was going to challenge Princess Beiliang for her, and she couldn't wait here. Sit on one's hands.

"You wait, I'll go with you." As she spoke, she looked left and right and saw a horse tethered to a tent not far away. It seemed to be Ruan Zhen's, and she walked over to untie the horse's rope. He kicked the saddle and got on the horse, and walked this way.

For convenience, she has been wearing a narrow-sleeved Hu dress during this period of time at the border. The skirt has a wide hem that allows you to run around at will, and pants are worn underneath. Whether it's riding a horse or fighting people. All very convenient.

Su Muxian has always respected Xia Jin's wishes. Although he was going to the front line, it was not a place for women to go in the eyes of others. But in his eyes. With Xia Jin's ability, where in the world can't he go?

Seeing Xia Jin running towards him with a column of horses, he smiled at her, grabbed the reins, "drove" the ground, and ran in the direction of the front line with Xia Jin.

Seeing this, Calamus was so anxious that she stomped her feet, and quickly found a horse, rode after it, and muttered in her heart: A lady who is beautiful, without a maid by her side, what kind of system will she become?

In the blink of an eye, the two masters and one servant ran away at once, and Jia Zhaoming was dumbfounded.

Su Muxian fought in front of the battle, strong martial arts, brave and good at fighting, killed several powerful generals of Beiliang Kingdom, and took the initiative to ask for war as a waiting master, this son was taken by the princess of Beiliang Kingdom again, and named him to marry him, which can be said to be very legendary, and he is also a celebrity in the army. Therefore, there were soldiers who greeted him along the way.

Of course, more than 100,000 men have been stationed here for more than half a year, and they all feel beautiful when they see sows, not to mention the two young and beautiful women Xia Jin and Calamus suddenly. Although I heard that there was a young and extremely skilled girl who was treating people in the barracks, there were only a few who were sick and injured, and most of them had never seen Xia Jin.

Therefore, Xia Jin was stared at all the way.

If it were another woman, she would have been shy or annoyed by it. Xia Jin knew that these people had no malicious intentions, so it didn't matter.

Xia Jin's rear was dozens of kilometers away from the front line, and the three of them rode horses for half an hour before entering the vanguard barracks where Su Mu was staying.

"Master Su, where have you been? Someone is looking for ...... in front" A soldier saw Su Muxian riding in, and hurriedly greeted him and shouted, but the words behind him were swallowed into his stomach, looking at Xia Jin and Calamus who followed up in a daze.

Su Muxian turned over and dismounted, pointed to the stunned soldier and introduced to Xia Jin: "This is the little soldier sent to me by the general, named Qi Rui. ”

As he spoke, he pointed at Xia Jin again and said to Qi Rui: "This is Xia Langzhong, the one who cured the plague." ”

Qi Rui swallowed his saliva and saluted Xia Jin: "Xia Langzhong." ”

Xia Jin nodded at him and asked with a smile, "Who is looking for Master Su?" ”

"Oh." Qi Rui came back to his senses and reported to Su Mu leisurely, "It's Luo Join's little guy Leshui, who came over, he said, he said, ......" He glanced at Xia Jin and didn't say the next words.

"If you have anything to say, just say it, what are you doing?" Su Muxian's face sank.

This Qi Rui has dark skin and a delicate appearance, and he looks quite clever. Probably because Cen Yi saw that everyone else had brought a retinue from home to take care of his life, but Su Muxian didn't bring anyone with him, so he chose a diligent and clever soldier to pull it over, cook and wash for Su Muxian, and listen to him.

Now seeing Su Muxian's face sank, Qi Rui knew that the practice of treating Xia Langzhong in front of him as an outsider made Hou Ye unhappy, and hurriedly said: "He said that the princess of Beiliang Kingdom sent someone to tell Luo Senjun that Arles was her defeated general, and that Luo Senjun was injured by Arles, so naturally he couldn't win against her, so let him withdraw this challenge automatically, don't be bored." ”

Su Muxian and Xia Jin looked at each other.

Well, Luo Qian was despised by the princess of the Northern Liang Kingdom.

"Are the people who negotiated peace still on the general's side?" He asked again.

Qi Rui nodded: "It's still there." ”

"Prepare the Four Treasures of the Study." Su Muxian commanded.

Qi Rui hurriedly went in, took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and dropped two drops of water in the inkstone, grinding the ink familiarly.

Xia Jin saw that he was clever. It's also neat to do things. It's still a round face, and there is still a little baby fat on his face, and he doesn't seem to be very old, which is quite likable, so he asked him, "How old are you?" What did you do at home before? ”

Qi Rui gave her a quick look, then lowered his head and put down the ink strip in his hand. He lowered his hand and said respectfully: "The small family was originally engaged in small business. Later, my father became seriously ill and passed away, and the family lost all the land and property. My mother is sick again, and I have two younger brothers and a younger sister below. Helpless. I signed up for the army, so I had some money to keep my family alive. ”

The reason why today's emperor is called Mingjun by the ministers and the people is that he can sympathize with the people. In a war like this one, a large army needs to be conscripted. And he took money out of the treasury, and named one name at a time. There are ten taels of silver to join the army. When I entered the barracks, I had one or two taels of silver a month. In the unfortunate event of death, there will be a pension of fifty taels of silver. So those families who are poor, have many children, and can't even eat enough to eat, will let their sons sign up for the front in order to get some money to survive—the son enters the army. I can eat enough.

Qi Rui is one of them.

Xia Jin listened and nodded.

Su Muxian used to have an Amo by his side, but later Amo died. Although he also has people to serve, he is not always easy to use. This Qi Rui is a clever man. If Su Muxian is willing. You can keep him by your side and call him.

But this is Su Muxian's business, since he is in charge, Xia Jin will not talk much.

Seeing Qi Rui polishing the ink, Su Muxian said to Xia Jin: "Do you write or do I write?" ”

Xia Jin stepped forward: "My challenge book, naturally, I wrote it. As he spoke, he lifted the pen and danced on the paper, and in a short time a challenge essay was written.

At the beginning, in order to test Xia Qi's talent, Xia Jin helped him collect articles and read a lot. In addition, she has good writing skills, so it is not a problem to write a short essay. Besides, this article doesn't need to be written in a crepe-like manner, otherwise with the cultural level of the princess of the Northern Liang Kingdom, it is estimated that she will not be able to understand it.

"Who will send it?" Putting down the pen, she asked Su Muxian.

"That woman is on the general's side, and she is negotiating peace with us. Let's send it together. Su Mu said casually, "Just provoke her directly, and then go up and fight with her, and you don't have to waste time." ”

Xia Jin laughed. Seeing that Calamus dried the ink on the paper and rolled up the challenge book, she waved her hand: "Go." ”

The three of them got on their horses again and ran in the direction where Cen Yi was.

Cen Yi was talking to the representative sent by the Northern Liang Kingdom about the terms of peace, when he heard a report that Xia Jin was coming. He hurriedly made an excuse and came out of the tent of negotiations.

Seeing Xia Jin and Su Muxian walking together, he sighed secretly, greeted him and said, "Go to my tent and say." ”

"General, don't worry." On formal occasions, Xia Jin's title is also very formal, "I have a letter of challenge that I want to give to Princess Beiliang." ”

Cen Yi's face became serious. He glanced at Xia Jin deeply and said, "Sister Jin, grandpa knows that you have a grievance in your heart, but there are some things that you have to take into account the overall situation." ”

The faint smile on Xia Jin's face suddenly disappeared. Her eyes narrowed slightly, and she said lightly: "I slept in the open air, came to this border pass, treated the plague, and defeated the army of the Northern Liang Kingdom with medicine and rice, so that it could sue for peace." I worked hard to help the Great Zhou Kingdom win, just so that you could give my fiancé to the Beiliang woman? ”

Cen Yi was dumbfounded.

He was silent for a long time, sighed, and said, "You are my niece and granddaughter, and I treat you as my own granddaughter." If I can call the shots, even if I fight with Beiliang Kingdom again, I will not accept such conditions. But this matter is related to the peace of the two countries, and it is not for me to decide. I can only report to the emperor urgently, and the emperor will decide. Sister Jin, Grandpa Cen can't stand you. ”

He let out a long sigh and looked at Su Muxian: "If the two of you have been engaged in advance, this matter will naturally be easy to say." But you ...... The teacher is unknown. ”

Xia Jin said coldly: "People say that if they want to discuss relatives, they can discuss relatives, whoever they want is whom, I want to ask, are we a victorious country or a defeated country?" What about Da Zhou's face? What about the face of the court? What about the emperor's face? Do you want to! ”

Hearing this, Calamus was shocked, and hurriedly looked left and right, hoping that no one would hear her girl's rebellious words.

Su Muxian nodded beside him: "That's right." She said that if she wanted to marry me, she would marry me, and I was not her subject, so why should I marry her? And he has to be a door-to-door son-in-law. Isn't my Da Zhou's Hou Ye so worthless? She defeated the princess of a small country in a war, how old is she? ”

Cen Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's useless for you to tell me these words, you have to hear the emperor." If it's just for a princess, we don't have to. But the situation in Beiliang Kingdom, you don't know it, this is not something that can be solved by winning a battle. ”

"What if I can fix it?" Xia Jin asked.

Cen Yi raised his eyes and looked at Xia Jin in surprise: "Can you solve it?" How do you fix it? ”

"My medical skills can not only save people, but also kill people. I think the general had a deep understanding of this. Xia Jin said proudly, "Since the emperor wants an obedient king of Beiliang, then I will give him one." ”

Cen Yi's mouth was half open, and he couldn't speak for a long time. It took a while to find his voice back: "You mean, you want to drug King Beiliang?" ”

Xia Jin nodded: "Not only this one, but the next Beiliang King is no problem." ”

"But......" Cen Yi swallowed his saliva and said with a wry smile, "But the palace is so well guarded, how can this matter be so easy?" ”

"You don't have to worry about this, just leave it to me." Xia Jin said, "You give me the terms of the peace negotiation, and in ten days at most, I will let the King of Beiliang stamp his seal on it." ”

Su Muxian nodded.

He naturally planned to do this matter himself, and would not let Xia Jin take risks. With the skills that Xia Jin taught him, he was completely confident that he would retreat with his whole body.

Cen Yi looked at Xia Jin, and then at Su Muxian, he really couldn't believe what he heard just now. If things were so easy, then what did he do with the soldiers at the border over the years? The martial arts strategies of hundreds of thousands of troops and hundreds of thousands of big men in the country are not as effective as a little girl's medical skills?

"Okay." He made up his mind, "You can handle this matter with confidence." If the emperor investigates, I will bear it for you. ”

Xia Jin nodded, and then handed over the challenge book: "Then you can help me give this to Princess Beiliang now." ”

"Why bother? When you ambush the King of Beiliang, she will naturally not mention this request again. Cen Yi said.

He is an old man, and he seeks stability in everything. If Xia Jin defeated Princess Beiliang here, but the King of Beiliang couldn't take medicine, wouldn't it destroy the excellent situation of stability between the two countries? (To be continued)
