Chapter 474: The People of Northern Xinjiang
"It's really on the other side, I didn't expect us to be so close." After Xu Chen finished reading, he closed the door, sat on the chair and muttered to himself.
He had thought about how to get close to the people of Mingyue Country before, but he didn't expect that God was helping him, so that he could go to the people of Mingyue Country at any time.
"Okay, you stand down, I see."
After Xu Chen let the guards leave, he thought about it in the room, he was going to see the people of Mingyue Country after all, but the choice of timing was very important, not to make them feel that they were too eager, and not to make them feel that they were rude.
Just when he hesitated, Xu Shiyin pushed his door open.
"Brother, do you know that the people living opposite us are from Mingyue Kingdom."
Xu Shiyin's voice was very loud, and Xu Chen glared at her dissatisfied: "You also put your voice a little lower, what if the person on the other side hears it when the time comes?"
"Hear it, hear it, we live across the street anyway, and it's hard to hide from them no matter what we do." Xu Shiyin said angrily.
She originally thought that this inn would be exclusive to them, but she didn't expect that there would be another group of people living with them, which made her very angry, and felt that Izumo Province was very stingy, and she didn't take their northern frontier seriously at all.
"Don't make a noise." Xu Chen's opening successfully extinguished the anger in Xu Shiyin's heart.
"We can do what we want, if we meet them, we will say hello, if we can't, we will be busy with our own affairs, anyway, the ceremony will be held soon, we will not stay here for a few days, we can return to the northern frontier country."
Xu Chen said to Xu Shiyin half-threatening and half-consoling, and finally calmed down her emotions.
At dinner in the evening, Xu Chen and Xu Shiyin walked out of their room, but they didn't expect to see Li Luobing coming out of the house at the same time when they went down the stairs.
The eyes of the two parties met, and the atmosphere began to become tense, whether it was the people of the Mingyue Kingdom or the people of the Northern Frontier Kingdom, they all tensed their nerves, for fear that a few of them would quarrel.
"It turned out to be the princess of Mingyue Country, and she was polite."
The first person to react was Xu Chen, he saluted Li Luobing, and there was no tension on his face, but Xu Shiyin next to him was full of reluctance, and was secretly kicked by Xu Chen, and then saluted Li Luobing.
Since they have a good attitude towards themselves, they should also exchange courtesies, Li Luobing also returned the salute, and the atmosphere between the two parties became inexplicably harmonious at this time.
"Since we met, why don't we have dinner together?" Xu Chen took the lead in making this request, and Li Luobing was stunned for a moment and nodded in agreement. If he refused at this time, he couldn't say anything, and then the two people went down the stairs one after the other and sat down at the table.
"Okay, you stand down, if there is anything I will call you." After Xiao Er put the refreshments together, Xu Chen asked him to retreat.
I have something I want to ask Li Luobing, and it will be very inconvenient if someone else is present at this time.
At the beginning, the two parties just had a simple conversation, which was more like a temptation, and there was no word on the key point, all about the customs of various countries, as well as the lives of the people, etc.
"I heard that this time the princess was invited by Princess Takuba of Izumo Province, is this true?"
Xu Shiyin really couldn't stand Xu Chen's questioning, and couldn't help blurting out to Li Luobing, as soon as she finished saying this, Xu Chen sensed that something was wrong.
Now many people know that the Yan King of the Bright Moon Country was once a husband and wife with Princess Xie Wu, and now he has become the concubine of Izumo Country, and this Princess Xie Wu was invited to Izumo Country again, and the complexity of the relationship is not something they can casually inquire about.
Xu Chen secretly gave Xu Shiyin a face, but Xu Shiyin insisted on asking Li Luobing this question, ignoring Xu Chen's expression.
"Of course it's true, weren't you also invited?"
Li Luobing replied very cleverly, and directly swept away Tuoba Luoxia, saying that he was invited by Izumo Country, and they were on the same status as the Northern Frontier Country on this issue.
Xu Shiyin pursed her lips, she was a little disappointed that she didn't hear the answer she wanted. I originally thought that Li Luobing would hesitate on this issue for a long time, and even cried bitterly, I could see her ugly, but I didn't expect it to be indifferent.
Seeing that this embarrassment was successfully resolved by Li Luobing, Xu Chen hurriedly stopped Xu Shiyin to prevent her from causing any unnecessary trouble, and the dinner passed in a thrilling situation.
After finishing the meal, Li Luobing went back to his room first, while Xu Chen and Xu Shiyin sat in the hall and discussed what had just happened.
"Why did you stop me just now? I just wanted to ask her some questions, and I didn't say anything. Xu Shiyin whispered to Xu Chen unconvinced.
Xu Chen looked around: "Didn't you say anything?" Don't you know that the matter of King Yan and Princess Yan must not be mentioned? When we left the northern frontier, my father had already told us. ”
"I don't understand, why are we afraid of Mingyue Kingdom, they ......" Xu Shiyin's voice became higher and higher, and Xu Chen hurriedly took her back to the room when she saw this.
"What are you nervous about? Afraid of what? ”
"It's not a question of whether you're afraid or not, it's about things between two countries, and you don't understand."
"What do I not understand? What is the ability of Princess Yan of this Mingyue Kingdom? Didn't you just knock our army back? ”
What Xu Shiyin said made Xu Chen look serious: "It's not just that she is repelling, she has defeated the army of our northern frontier country, so this person should definitely not be underestimated." ”
"Why do you want to grow the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige?" Xu Shiyin heard that Xu Chen was defending Li Luobing between the lines, and the whole person was very dissatisfied.
"You haven't fought with the army of Mingyue Country, you naturally don't know the inside story, this Princess Yan of Mingyue Country, no, now it should be Princess Jiewu, it can be said that she is the hero of the entire Mingyue Kingdom."
"No matter how heroic she is, she is just a weak woman, what else can she do, and I heard that the army of the Moon Kingdom is led by King Yan." Xu Shiyin scoffed at Xu Chen's words.
"No matter how much you hear about it, you don't know it as deeply as I do." Xu Chen looked at Xu Shiyin earnestly and said.
"Then tell me, what happened?"
"At that time, although the army of Mingyue Kingdom was nominally led by King Yan, in fact, King Yan and Princess Yan each had an army, and the army led by Princess Yan was definitely not lost to the people under King Yan."
As Xu Chen spoke, he recalled the war with Mingyue Kingdom at that time.
"When I faced the princess Yan of the Mingyue Kingdom, I underestimated the enemy, I thought that I could easily defeat her, but I didn't expect to fall into the trap of the princess Yan without noticing for a while, but it was the people of our northern Xinjiang country who were beaten to the ground by the Mingyue Kingdom, and finally directly led to my father asking for peace with the Mingyue Kingdom."
Listening to Xu Chen's narration, Xu Shiyin's opinion of Li Luobing gradually changed. At first, she just felt that she didn't like Li Luobing very much, but she didn't expect that Princess Yan of Mingyue Kingdom would lead her troops to fight so powerfully.
"But now you can't see that she's such a person, right?" After Xu Shiyin listened to what Xu Chen said, she thought of the contact she had with Li Luobing during this time, and she didn't understand what Xu Chen said at all.
"This is not a battlefield, do you think everyone will write their emotions on their faces like you?" Xu Chen reprimanded Xu Shiyin fiercely.
"Okay, I know, just don't mess with her in the future."
In the eyes of the people of the Northern Xinjiang Kingdom, the opinion of Li Luobing is quite complicated, everyone thinks that she is a heroine, but they also feel that she led the Mingyue Kingdom to defeat the Northern Xinjiang Kingdom, and losing in the hands of a woman makes people unable to raise their heads, so the feeling for her is very subtle.
The day after learning the news, when Xu Shiyin got up and went out, she happened to meet Li Luobing again, and Li Luobing was stunned for a moment after seeing Xu Shiyin.
"Princess, early." Li Luobing didn't want to cause trouble, so he took the lead in saying hello to Xu Shiyin.
"Early." After hearing Li Luobing greet him, Xu Shiyin responded with a somewhat stiff expression.
She didn't expect that after experiencing yesterday's incident, Li Luobing's attitude towards herself was still the same as always, which made her seem a little narrow-minded.
Xu Shiyin's expression changed on his face, making Li Luobing confused. This princess of the northern frontier was very hostile to herself yesterday, why did she suddenly become polite today? Yesterday, there was a lot of hostility in her eyes.
"How does the princess feel in Izumo Province?" Xu Shiyin opened her mouth with a stiff expression, and actually talked with Li Luobing, although Li Luobing was a little embarrassed, she still answered Xu Shiyin's question very patiently.
"Izumo Province is naturally good."
"Then do you have a ...... in mind when you come to Izumo Country this time" Xu Shiyin originally wanted to ask Li Luobing if she had any thoughts in her heart, but before she could ask, Xu Chen had already walked over.
In fact, when Xu Shiyin was talking to Li Luobing, he was already secretly observing, and he didn't care when he saw that Xu Shiyin didn't ask anything excessive.
But when I heard Xu Shiyinwen's words getting more and more outrageous, I couldn't get out of the horse, so I stood next to her.
"Princess Jiewu, if you have anything to do, let's go get busy first, we have to leave too." After Xu Chen finished speaking, he took Xu Shiyin back to his house, leaving Li Luobing alone.
"What's wrong with them? Why did attitudes change so quickly? Li Luobing thought for a while and asked Qiao Su next to him, Qiao Su shook his head, indicating that he was confused.
