Chapter 27: Khitan Envoys

"His Royal Highness the Prince." Hearing the prince call himself, Xiao Yu'an turned around and saluted the prince.

Gu Wanchao also saluted the prince.

"Today, Taifu will teach Gu alone, and you will come with Gu." The prince is always as gentle as jade, which is completely different from Xiao Yu'an's temperament.

Xiao Yu'an has a spirit of not admitting defeat, and when he doesn't laugh, he seems to be strategizing everything, which is also the reason why Gu Wanchao can't see through Xiao Yu'an.

"Farewell." After hearing the prince say that he was going to teach alone, Xiao Yu'an turned around and said goodbye to Gu Wanchao.

"Chao Chao, I'm looking for you everywhere, what are you doing here?" Princess Yimeng saw Gu Wanchao standing at the door and shouted.

Gu Wanchao turned around, "I just met an acquaintance and chatted a few words. ”

"I see, I told you, I want to practice archery today, but I really can't pull the bow, what can I do?" Princess Yimeng's face was bitter.

"It's okay, take your time and relax." Gu Wanchao comforted Princess Yimeng.

While the two were talking, they went all the way to the place where archery was practiced, and the general who taught them handed them a special bow and arrow.

The people who practice archery here are all princesses from various palaces and their companions, and all of them are young ladies who are raised in the boudoir, and everyone can't pull the bow.

Princess Yimeng, who was originally in trouble because she couldn't pull the bow, was also relieved to see this.

Gu Wanchao looked at the bow in her hand, she took out an arrow from the arrow basket and put it on the string, she was pitiful now, and it really took a lot of effort to pull the bow.

I saw that the arrow in her hand was off the string and hit the target heavily, only an inch short of hitting the bull's-eye.

Her arrow once again made her out of the limelight.

"Wow, Chaochao is too powerful for you." Princess Yimeng looked at Gu Wan's arrow standing on the arrow target and praised it sincerely.

The general who was teaching on the side was also taken aback, Gu Wanchao was the youngest in this group of princess misses, originally he thought that Gu Wanchao would not be able to pull the bow, who would have thought that this arrow directly subverted his impression of Gu Wanchao.

After the archery training was over, Gu Wanchao embarked on the drama of returning home, and on the way, she bumped into a eunuch leading a foreigner in the direction of the imperial study.

Gu Wanchao has seen the Khitan people, and she knows very well that the eunuch who leads the Khitan people is the Khitan, but didn't the emperor already make an order to never negotiate peace with the Khitan, how could it be?

Gu Wanchao was really puzzled, she heard the voice of this Khitan person, but she couldn't understand the Khitan dialect at all, even if she heard it, it would be useless.

While thinking about it, Gu Wanchao thought of Xiao Yu'an, "Xiao Yu'an is so smart, he must know what this Khitan man said." ”

Thinking of this, Gu Wanchao accelerated the pace of leaving the palace, these days Gu traitorous ministers have been busy with the war with the Khitan, so it was the little maid in the house who came to pick her up, and the spring peach and Xia He beside her.

"Go to Xiao's house." Gu Wanchao walked to the carriage and gave an order to the little servant.

"Yes, miss."

Xiao family

"You are waiting for me here, and I will go back as soon as I go." Gu Wanchao got out of the carriage and ordered.

"But......" Xia He really didn't worry about Gu Wanchao alone, and he stopped talking.

"Let you wait." This is the first time since she became Gu Wanchao that she has not spoken in the tone of a child.

She commanded in that childish voice, not angry and self-assured.

"Yes, miss." Seeing Gu Wanchao's tough tone, several people did not insist on following.

After Xia He stepped forward and stuffed Tang Pozi into Gu Wanchao's arms, he retreated to the carriage and waited.

Then, Gu Wanchao raised his feet and entered the Xiao Mansion and went straight to Le'anju.

When she arrived at Le'anju, Xiao Yu'an was practicing swords.

"Xiao Yu'an." Far away, Gu Wanchao shouted Xiao Yu'an.

Xiao Yu'an stopped what he was doing in response, and turned his head to look at Gu Wanchao, who was running towards him.

Gu Wanchao stood in front of Xiao Yu'an, tired and panting.

"Xiao Yu'an, do you know Khitan?" Gu Wanchao lowered her voice and asked.

Hearing this, Xiao Yu'an looked at Gu Wanchao suspiciously, "It's a little bit, what's wrong?" ”

"Come, go inside." She raised her hand to take Xiao Yu'an's hand, pulled him and walked towards the room.

Xiao Yu'an glanced at her holding her hand, but didn't react for a while, and let her drag her away.

"I say, you listen, and then you tell me, what do you mean, okay?" When she got inside, Gu Wanchao let go of Xiao Yu'an's hand, she turned her head to look at Xiao Yu'an, and asked.

"Okay."

Subsequently, Gu Wanchao relied on his memory to tell Xiao Yu'an the Khitan language he had just heard.

Xiao Yu'an said that he would only be a little, but after Gu Wanchao said this, he immediately understood what it meant.

However, he was slow to speak.

"What's the matter, didn't you hear clearly, I'll say it again?" Gu Wanchao saw that he didn't speak for a long time, and thought that he didn't hear clearly, so he was ready to say it again.

"No, but, the content of this sentence, you still don't want to know." Xiao Yu'an said very seriously.

"I came to you just to find out what it means, and you tell me I still don't know?"

"I must stop this war." Seeing that Gu Wanchao insisted on knowing the meaning of this sentence, Xiao Yuan finally told her.

"Really?" Gu Wanchao still didn't believe it, she said such a long sentence, but there were only a few words?

"Seriously." Xiao Yuan looked at Gu Wanchao's eyes and said.

Gu Wanchao looked at his serious appearance, and somehow believed what he said.

"Thank you." After getting the answer he wanted, Gu Wanchao left Le'anju.

Xiao Yu'an looked at the little back of this girl leaving, and muttered in his mouth: "Murong Zhao's death obviously has nothing to do with our Khitan, and Heqin's army has never entered the Khitan at all, I must let the emperor know to avoid this war, Gu Wanchao, you little child, why should you get involved in the dispute between the two countries, you still never know this sentence." ”

Gu Wanchao walked out of Xiao's house, Xia He hurriedly greeted her and straightened her clothes, "It's cold outside, Miss go up quickly." ”

"Hmm." Gu Wanchao nodded and shrank into the carriage.

Along the way, she kept recalling Xiao Yu'an's reaction in her mind, if it was really just a sentence of "I must stop this war", why did he say that she still didn't know?

Gu Wanchao, who realized it later, realized that Xiao Yu'an didn't tell the truth to himself, and the real meaning of that sentence was definitely not so simple.

However, Xiao Yu'an didn't want to tell her, even if she went back to ask, she couldn't ask the answer she wanted.
