This was the first time Chen Yin had met the lord of Ma Si Country, and so did the other party.

The only difference between the two is that the lord of Ma Si Country has been keeping an eye on Chen Yin for a long time, and today he finally met him in the study in the backyard.

Chen Yin could tell from the furnishings in the room that this person was especially fond of hunting, with bows and arrows hanging on the walls, animal fur on everything, and few books.

Unlike the emperor of the Central Plains, the figure of the lord of the country is slightly bloated, without the domineering of the emperor, but with the pride of a hero in the mountains, he has a well-groomed beard on his face, but he does not cover the scars on his face, and his sunken eyes are staring at Chen Yin like staring at prey.

Chen Yin didn't dare to slack off, and after seeing the salute, he still bowed his head respectfully.

"Second brother, why didn't you report this to the eldest brother before?" the lord of the country turned his eyes to the prince and asked in a calm tone.

"It happened suddenly, and the younger brother didn't know that Chen Yin would come to visit. ”

"I don't blame the prince for this, it's an uninvited ......"

Chen Yin still wanted to explain, but found that the lord of the country did not look at him, but still looked at the prince, and continued to ask: "What did you do in private, the eldest brother doesn't want to ask, but you know the bottom line of the eldest brother......

"My brother has always remembered it. The prince did not have the free and easy energy before at all, and his tone was both respectful and respectful.

"Are you Chen Yin?" the lord of the country slowly looked back at Chen Yin and asked.

"Yes. ”

"You just said that you came uninvited, did I hear it wrong?"

The lord of the country has always been expressionless, and his words and breath are cold, and others can't detect his mood at all.

"That's true, I came uninvited, so I broke into the palace without permission, and it has nothing to do with the prince. ”

"It seems that you are already used to it, when you were in the Central Plains, it was rumored that you went in and out of the imperial city at will, and the same is true for coming to my country of Masi," the lord muttered, "The emperor of the Central Plains is like a child's play, I am different here, and it is the long-term way of our country to be strict with legislation." ”

Chen Yin understood what he meant, and said out of politeness and respect: "But listen to the lord of the country. ”

"By the way, second brother," the lord of the kingdom turned back to the prince and said, "There is an urgent report from the front, you can go and take a look for me." ”

"Yes. After the prince responded, he glanced at Chen Yin and withdrew from the study.

At this moment, only Chen Yin and the lord of the country were left in the room.

Chen Yin hadn't sensed the murderous aura on this person for the time being, but he didn't know if the other party was hiding deeply, or if he really didn't.

"I know that you have a deep relationship with the Emperor of the Central Plains, he is also wanted by you and the bounty is withdrawn, and even let you come to the front line with the army, and I also know that you are closely involved with the new Taizi Xufeng Chenhui in the Central Plains, but I don't want to find out," the lord of the country looked at Chen Yin and said slowly, "I just want to inquire about you." ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say. ”

"Are you an enemy of your country?"

Chen Yin didn't expect the lord of the country to ask so directly: "No, my relationship with the Central Plains Imperial Court has been sorted out." ”

"In that case, you came to Beiyuan City this time, would you like to help me?"

This is the question that Chen Yin doesn't want to hear the most, he finally got out of the Central Plains, and now he really doesn't want to fall back again.

"How can he be in the next place, he doesn't know how to lead troops to fight, and he doesn't belong to the group, what the lord of the country says is really too much to look up to. ”

"I don't like pen and ink articles like you Central Plains people, so I won't go around in circles with you," the lord of the country still said so tepidly, "Most of the people of the country of Ma Si used to be mainly animal husbandry, and the east of the Central Plains used to be the land of their own country, although that was a few decades ago, at first they were friendly with the Central Plains court, but I didn't expect this relationship to change over time, in recent decades, Ma Si country has become a subordinate land of the Central Plains, and the people of the country do not want to live in slavery, I want to let all this return to the past - the country and the Central Plains are treated equally." ”

"If it's a matter of national politics and diplomacy, it's even more powerless to do anything below......

"Of course I know this," said the lord of the country, "in the city of Beiyuan, although I am the lord of the country, the military and political affairs are usually handled by the second brother, and I know all the things, but generally do not interfere with his actions, unless they harm the interests of the country." ”

The lord of the country said as if he was talking to himself, Chen Yin didn't know how to reply at all, but fortunately, the other party didn't mean it.

"The jade that General Zhuo Xuanxin stole from the Central Plains, I know that the second brother gave it to you in the end," the lord continued, "And you should also have one left by your father, and the 'one hand' I mean by 'one hand' is not for you to lead troops to fight or diplomatic words, but to hand over these two pieces of jade to me, and send the other three." ”

Chen Yin breathed a sigh of relief, thinking: As long as I don't want to fight, anything is fine, and this is for the soul jade.

When the lord of the country saw that he was distracted, he continued to speak: "In fact, you don't need to do any more psychological struggle, strictly speaking, before you helped Sha Xinglou to quell the rebel army in your country, after the remnants of the rebel army surrendered, I was awarded the title of official and promoted to knight, according to merit, you were already an official of your country at that time, at least a captain, you are now responding to yourself, you are just performing your duties, why are you afraid of gossip such as "grass on the wall" in the rivers and lakes?"

The lord of the country completely misthought Chen Yin's concerns, he didn't care about what the people in the rivers and lakes would say about him, but thought about how to get rid of these troublesome things completely.

"What the lord of the country said is very true," Chen Yin thought of a way to get out, "but, to be honest, there is only one jade by his side at present." ”

"It's okay, now that the Central Plains is raising troops, this is the focus, and Yan Ying is dead, and the Imperial Pavilion is all on the front line, so it won't be a problem for you to take the remaining four. ”

Chen Yin didn't listen to what the lord of the country said at all, what he thought was simple, first hand over the soul jade on Yingli's body to the lord of the country in order to get out, and then go to get the one in the hands of Xufeng Chenhui, anyway, only one only needs to be destroyed, and the rest will have no effect.

"Before answering the question, can you ask the lord a question? Chen Yin knew that he couldn't agree too smoothly, so as not to make the other party suspicious.

"Yes. ”

"What is the Lord of the Kingdom going to do with these five pieces of jade?"

"As long as the Central Plains Imperial Court holds these five jades, it will always be above the country, and what I want will not be realized. ”

"Then I will tell you the truth, when I return to the Central Plains after the next plan, find a way to destroy these soul jades with my own hands, is it feasible?"

"You didn't understand what I meant, I wanted you to bring the five pieces of jade to the country of Masi, not for you to destroy them. After saying this, the lord of the country's eyes suddenly changed, and Chen Yin could clearly feel a hint of threat from it.

"I understand," Chen Yin immediately said, "But there is a request below, when this matter is completed, any relationship with Ma Siguo will be drawn below." ”
