Chapter 39: Temptation
Bu Chi only felt a cool gaze sweep over him, and then a cold female voice sounded in his ears: "General Lao Buchi has come to greet him." ”
Bu Chi tooth root bites slightly, a good move to get off the horse!
Prime Minister Gongji had privately sent a letter to him, saying that this Princess Yongan was very difficult to deal with. But he didn't believe that a young girl had such great ability, and if she took it seriously, she would not fall to the point of being close to Xifan, so he had a little contempt in his heart.
When he heard the sound of the car curtain moving, he wanted to take a glimpse of it, but he was so pressed by a force that he couldn't raise his head. Could it be that it was from the hand of Princess Yong'an? If this is the case, he is indeed not to be underestimated.
"The princess is polite, Bu Chi doesn't dare to be." He lowered his head, and the contempt for Xiao Lingjiang in his heart retreated a little.
Xiao Ling Jiang said "um" lightly, no longer spoke to him, but turned to Gongji and said, "It's not early, let's enter the city quickly." With that, he lowered the curtain.
The force that seemed to be substance was withdrawn, and Bu Chi only felt light, and when he raised his head, he saw a slight flickering curtain, and his eyes were slightly deep.
From here, dozens of miles to the west, you will arrive at the Chiling area, and a city is located in the vast Gobi.
At the beginning of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he had made friends with the envoys of Xifan, erected a monument in Chiling, and ruled by demarcation. However, with the growing strength of Western Tibet, the internal and external troubles of the Great Zhou gradually arose, and the original stele boundary had already been crossed.
Chiling is now under the rule of Xifan.
Xiao Lingjiang lifted the curtain of the car, and at this time the sunset had fallen, and the drooping twilight was enveloped on the city land, showing a depressed dark red color, as if it was covered with dried blood.
Her eyes fell on the word "Akagi" written in Tibetan above the city gate, and her eyes were slightly deep.
She lowered her eyelashes as the harsh winter wind swept in the dust and sand, then lowered the curtain and sat with her eyes closed.
With an order, the heavy city gate slowly opened, and the carriage and horse continued to move forward after a slight stop.
The procession of relatives was mighty, passing through the city gate and heading all the way to the city. The people of Xifan on both sides of the road were talking, and their eyes were full of curiosity that could not be hidden.
There are so many ceremonial officials and craftsmen who accompany them, but the marriage in the land of Xifan has never been seen, and there is also the cart of dowry gifts, I don't know how to be rich!
There are also these Da Zhou people, who are described as having many differences in their dresses from the Xifan people, but they are very novel.
In the discussion and guidance of the people of Xifan, after about half an hour, Xiao Lingjiang and his party finally stopped slowly in front of a big mansion.
Buchi was the first to dismount, leaned over to meet Gongji, Tuozhi and the others, and then walked with Gongji to Xiao Lingjiang's carriage.
"Princess, please come into the house to rest."
There was a faint sound from inside the carriage, and then I saw the door open and a sturdy figure jumped out of the carriage.
Everyone looking at the door looked at her in unison, and when they saw that the girl was tall and strong, with dark skin, they couldn't help but be disappointed, and they stretched their necks even more.
Then I saw a young lady in a light-colored dress leaning over the carriage, this girl was beautiful and elegant, and it was eye-catching.
Everyone couldn't help but exhale softly, but they saw that the girl did not walk forward after getting out of the carriage, but stood sideways beside the carriage, leaned over slightly and whispered, "Your Highness, please." ”
Immediately after, everyone felt that a red skirt flashed in front of them, and then like a cloud and mist, a figure had already gotten off the carriage lightly.
Everyone looked at each other and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Her eyebrows are picturesque, her face is like snow, and she stands in a red robe in the bitter cold and desolate place on the border, as if the bamboo in the south of the Yangtze River and the plum in the north of the Saibei have arrived here, which is extremely out of place but is amazingly beautiful.
It turns out that this is the princess Yong'an who came to kiss......
Everyone was amazed, but Bu Chidu didn't react for a while, the legendary Xiao Lingjiang with extraordinary means was born like this, so delicate and beautiful. Those hands, really capable of lifting swords to kill people and stir up the situation?
Seeing this, Gongji coughed lightly: "Princess, please come in." ”
Xiao Lingjiang bowed slightly, and walked towards the courtyard, and Pei You, who had already arranged the elite soldiers, silently followed her side.
On the first day of the arrival of the family in Xifan, Buchi naturally had to set up a banquet to entertain them. Xiao Lingjiang did not refuse, but happily went to the banquet.
In addition to Xiao Lingjiang and Pei You, the envoys of the Great Zhou Rite Officials were also among them, and Gongji, Buchi and others sat on the other side.
Bu Chi raised his wine glass with a smile and saluted Xiao Lingjiang: "The princess has come to Xifan, and she has worked hard all the way, Bu Chi toasts you." ”
"Thank you, General Buchi." Xiao Lingjiang lowered his eyes and glanced at the wine glass on the table, and said with a light smile, "It's just that the palace was injured before, and it is inconvenient to drink, so how about replacing wine with tea?" ”
Bu Chi was full of apologies: "It's that I didn't think it through, princess, don't blame." Come and serve tea to the princess. Immediately, a maid came forward with a teacup.
Unexpectedly, when the maid walked two steps away from Xiao Lingjiang, she stumbled under her feet, and the tea cup in her hand was about to pour towards her with heat.
Xiao Lingjiang's body did not move, and with a flick of her sleeves, the tea cup seemed to be swept by a force, and all of them fell to the ground beside her.
The tea cup made a crisp sound when it landed, and the maid turned pale with fright, and hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty.
Xiao Lingjiang raised his eyes and glanced at her lightly, and said in a calm voice: "It's not a big deal, just be careful in the future." ”
Bu Chi's eyes narrowed slightly, it seemed that this Xiao Lingjiang did have kung fu.
"The servant has no case, and asks the princess to forgive her sins." Bu Chi hugged his chest and apologized, and then whispered to the servant, "Why don't you quickly pack up and retreat, and then someone will serve tea to the princess." ”
Xiao Lingjiang looked at the maid in a panic and cleaned up the broken tea cup and smiled lightly. Buchi's method of temptation was too clumsy.
Since he wanted to find out what he wanted, it was as he wished.
Anyway, she deliberately hid herself, and with Gongji and Tuozhi here, others would definitely not believe it. Even so, let everyone know that she is not such a weak and bullying and powerless princess. Those small tricks that can't be put on the table, or don't do it to her.
Except for the previous small mistakes, the banquet was peaceful, singing, dancing, music, and staggering.
Xiao Lingjiang and Pei You are not very interested in remuneration, but the two of them are high, so naturally no one has a beak, plus there are long-sleeved people who are good at dancing such as courtesy officials and envoys, but they are smiling and laughing during the banquet, which is a lively scene.
When the feast had ended, everyone went to their dwellings to rest, while Buchi left Gongji for the night.
At this time, he faded the smile on the table, his face was full of solemnity, and a pair of thick eyebrows wrinkled tightly: "The prime minister went to Da Zhou this time to ask for the king to marry the princess of Da Zhou, in order to temporarily beg Zhou Fan to make friends." However, with all due respect, I don't think this Princess Yong'an is a suitable person......" (end of this chapter)
