Chapter Ninety-Nine: Marrying
"Lord Su, after the third day, it is the birthday of the Khan of my family, and the Khan commanded, hoping to be able to come to the door with double happiness and marry Her Royal Highness the princess at that time. What do you think? He bowed his hand to the leaders of the Han envoys present.
Since three days ago, after Xu Haifeng and the others defeated the Caesars, even Kuba Ying respected him a lot, and never mentioned the matter of taking the princess into the palace first. It's just that this matter has long been doomed after all, and if you can hide from the first day of junior high school, you can't hide from the fifteenth, and you will still come when you should come.
Today, it is said that the eagle has come to visit early in the morning to discuss this matter.
Su Chunwei glanced at the other three generals who were silent, knowing that they were waiting for him to make up his mind. sighed regretfully in his heart, but said with a smile: "There are only three days of preparation, this time is too urgent, right?" ”
Kuba Ying showed a happy smile and said: "Our Huns don't have as many rules as you Han people, not to mention, the princess's bedroom has already been prepared, and the preparation of the three days is more than enough." Then Zhengse said: "The Khan once personally instructed that for the sincere brotherhood between the two countries, he specially chose to marry the princess on his birthday, and invited the lord to know it." ”
Su Chunwei was helpless, knowing that Mao Dun was no longer willing to delay, so Gu Ying's tone gradually became stronger, so he had to say: "Since your country is ready, then it will be decided,"
When the eagle had achieved his goal, he didn't stay any longer, and after a few polite words, he took his leave and went back to Maoton.
The only Hun in the room left, and the three generals in the field glanced at each other, all seeing the hesitation and dissatisfaction in each other's eyes.
Jin Guanghua, a partial general from the northern camp, said angrily: "Why did the imperial court marry the little princess to Mao Dun, isn't that a disguised surrender." ”
Along the way, everyone got along with him very happily, knowing that he was also a real soldier without scheming, and they had long been dissatisfied with this marriage in their hearts.
Xu Haifeng put his index finger to his mouth, made a silent gesture, and then said: "Brother Jin, don't be impatient, this matter is a decision of the imperial court, you and I can't slander easily, so as not to get into trouble." ”
Jin Guanghua glanced at him, hugged his fists and said: "General Xu, what my old Jin admires most is a hero like you, three days ago, when you defeated the Caesar people in the gladiatorial arena, how can you be so brave now." ”
Xu Haifeng smiled bitterly, thinking to himself, can I tell you that I have other plans in my heart.
Liu Junshu sighed and persuaded: "Brother Jin, junior brother, I am also a member of the royal family, how can I be willing to marry Princess Ting far away, but if it weren't for this, the Hun army would be overwhelmed at any time, but it was the thousands of people of my Han who were unlucky at that time." ”
With a sneer, Jin Guanghua said disdainfully: "The Huns are ambitious, do you think that if you offer the princess with both hands, they won't have the idea of fighting the Han Dynasty?" ”
Xu Haifeng was shocked in his heart, although this person was rude, he saw things thoroughly, how could his words be so similar to what Jiang Kongming said.
Su Chunwei's expression moved slightly, and he looked at him carefully for a while, and Fang Shi asked, "These truths are what Brother Jin wants to come back to?" ”
Jin Guanghua's rough face turned red, but he was originally a black pot face, and he really couldn't see it if he wasn't careful, he coughed twice, and he said embarrassedly: "It's not me, it's General Fang who thought of it." ”
"Which General Fang?" Xu Haifeng asked curiously.
Jin Guanghua glanced at him in surprise and said, "Didn't General Fang tell you?" It's your big brother. ”
Su Chunwei and Xu Haifeng glanced at each other, since it was him, it was not surprising that he had this insight.
The ministers in the Han Dynasty all knew this truth, but at this moment, the Han Dynasty and Caesar were at odds, although they had just achieved a great victory in Lin'an, but it was also a waste of money and labor. Moreover, according to the spies, the Caesars did not intend to stop there, and reinforcements were gathering to the east.
At this moment, the Han must not go to war on both sides. To put it bluntly, sending the princess is just to delay time, just to be able to defeat Caesar quickly, and then you can free up your hands to prepare for a battle with the Huns.
The Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu were two enemies of life and death, and as long as one of them was strong, it would definitely send troops to fight against the other. For hundreds of years, there have been wars and peaces, but neither can put the other to death.
"Forget it, this matter is a foregone conclusion, and we don't have to discuss it anymore, which general will report to the princess, and it will be her great joy after three days." Su Chunwei didn't want to discuss this matter anymore, so he stopped the topic.
The three generals, you look at me, I look at you, staring at each other with big eyes, all silent. This shows that it is not a good errand, and it is a great joy? The Great Compassion is about the same. Except for Xu Haifeng's other plans, it is true that no one wants to touch this mold.
"Ahem, General Liu, you are responsible for the safety of Her Royal Highness the princess, and you are her own family, so it is better for you to make a hard trip." Su Chunwei saw that no one answered, so he had to designate one.
Liu Junshu thought to himself with a bitter face, you have the biggest official position here, why don't you go, suddenly an idea moved in his mind, and said: "Since stepping into the border of the Xiongnu, my forbidden army is no longer responsible for the safety of Her Royal Highness the Princess, everything is handled by General Xu, I think it is best for him to come forward in this matter." ”
Su Chunwei pondered for a moment and said, "You guys look at it, the official still has to prepare for the wedding, so he will take the first step." After saying that, he left the three of them and went out first.
The three generals scolded in their hearts at the same time, so cunning a white-faced dead rabbit, slipping away.
Liu Junshu said in his heart, you will run away, won't I. So he hugged his fists and said: "The last general suddenly remembered that this is the time for my forbidden soldiers to practice, and this matter will bother the two of you." With that, he fled without looking back, ignoring even Jin Guanghua's shouts.
Jin Guanghua is an honest person, how could he have any scheming, he was full of reluctance to go to the princess to ask for hardship, but he couldn't speak, looking at Xu Haifeng, he snorted for a while, and still couldn't say a word.
Xu Haifeng couldn't bear to look at him uncomfortable, so he sighed in embarrassment and said, "Let's leave this matter to the younger brother." ”
Jin Guanghua exhaled with relief, and said with a grateful face: "Thank you General Xu, if General Xu is sent in the future, the young general will definitely be duty-bound." ”
Xu Haifeng knows that he is straightforward, and since he said so, he will definitely not regret it. With joy in his heart, he still pretended to excuse himself before leaving the hall and coming to the courtyard where Her Royal Highness the princess temporarily lived.
The guards of this courtyard are all elite men of the Black Flag Army, and under Jiang Kongming's arrangement and design, unless they are a figure of the level of Grandmaster Auburn, they don't want to get close.
But for Xu Haifeng, this place is no different from his own residence. He didn't make a statement, and just entered Liu Ting's room directly.
In addition to Liu Ting and the quadruplets in the wing, Tang Rouer also accompanied the prime minister. Seeing Xu Haifeng come in, they got up together, took off their armor for him, wiped the sweat from their foreheads with a cold towel, and sat relaxed on a comfortable and spacious bench, letting a few little girls pinch their shoulders and beat their legs for him, which was not suitable.
Xu Haifeng glanced at the four identical little faces, and his heart was quite moved. Liu Ting's four little girls are famous for their piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and everyone has real talents and learning, and they are really quite successful in these four kinds of learning. If you stay in the Huns, it is indeed reluctant, but fortunately, I promised Liu Ting to take them away, since this is the case, then they can't follow Liu Ting into the palace.
Tang Rouer scooped up a spoon of rock sugar lotus seeds, put it into Xu Haifeng's mouth, and asked, "Big brother came to see us, is there something wrong?" ”
Xu Haifeng reached out to wrap his arms around her soft waist and asked with a smile, "Can't I come to see you if I'm fine?" ”
Tang Rou'er smiled and said softly: "After the eldest brother comes back every day, doesn't he come to Sister Lin to report before he comes to see us." There seemed to be a sour taste in her tone, but it made Xu Haifeng feel a great sense of accomplishment.
Xu Haifeng looked at her pretty face with a wicked smile and said, "I'm afraid that if I come here first, I can't help but eat you." ”
As soon as these words came out, including the four pretty maids of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, they all blushed.
Seeing their extremely touching and shy appearance, Xu Haifeng felt an impulse, but he finally knew that this was not the time, so he reluctantly suppressed his desires, and said: "Ting'er, I came this time to tell you that he had decided to welcome you at that time on his birthday." ”
Liu Ting said "um", but her face did not change, as if what Xu Haifeng said was a boring little thing that had nothing to do with her.
Xu Haifeng was surprised and asked, "Ting'er, what's wrong with you?" ”
Liu Ting raised her pretty face and said in surprise: "I'm fine, why does the eldest brother ask like this?" ”
"Aren't you worried?" Xu Haifeng stretched out his hand to caress her little face and asked.
Liu Ting tilted her head slightly, put one side of her face on Xu Haifeng's big hand, she shook it a few times, letting her delicate skin touch the rough calluses in his hands, and then smiled: "Big brother said that he would save me, so what do I have to worry about?" ”
Xu Haifeng couldn't imagine that Liu Ting was much more confident than himself, and he was quite moved for a while. He pulled Liu Ting into his arms, and solemnly promised: "Don't worry, I have arranged everything, as long as you do what I instruct, I promise to be able to bring you back to Dahan smoothly and safely." ”
"Hmm." Liu Ting responded gently.
Xu Haifeng suddenly laughed evilly a few times, and said: "Once we return to Dahan, it will be the time for you to fulfill your promise, don't let me down when the time comes." ”
Liu Ting and Tang Rouer were embarrassed again, they naturally knew what Xu Haifeng was referring to, lowered their heads, and didn't dare to respond.
Xu Haifeng only felt a burst of warmth in his heart, he looked into the distance through the open window, and said in his heart Jiang Kongming, Jiang Kongming, you have never let me down, so don't let me down this time.
