"What's going on outside the East Gate?"

When Guo Daus entered the palace with a few officials through the passage of the audience, he asked Tuohuan curiously: "Why did everyone go over there?" ”

"Uh......"

Tuhuan hesitated for a long time and decided to take him to see it himself.

After Guo Ponu and Theodora quarreled, he hurriedly slipped away. As expected, as soon as he ran away, the two of them fought directly.

The surrounding officials didn't dare to persuade them, so they could only hide far away. Even the group of Rus, sensing that something was not right, scattered and fled. There was no one in the small square over there now, but on the balcony and the corridor on the first floor, many people stopped and began to watch the two of them fight.

"It's been a quarter of an hour." Tuhuan whispered: "Sister Po Nu is actually higher in martial arts, but Hu Lu is still resistant to fighting without exerting great effort, and there is no loss at all in hand-to-hand combat." I think they can fight like this until noon. ”

"What's going on?" Guo Daeus hesitated, as if he had some conjecture, but he confirmed first.

"Sister Po Nu suddenly said that she was going to marry Guo Kang Anda, which stunned us." Tuohuan said: "It just so happened that Hulu didn't come back, and when I saw a group of people over there, I wanted to go up and ask about the situation, but I couldn't stop it." As a result, the two really quarreled, and then they started to fight. ”

"Hey, my dad and mom are still busy inside, and grandma went out to run errands just now. When they fought, no one on our side dared to take care of them - and neither did I. He shook his head and said, "Shibo, hurry up and talk about it!" ”

However, Gourdaus also hesitated.

"I ...... I'm not good at this, these two girls are emotional disputes......" he muttered and prevaricated: "By the way, my wife is behind, she will go to the Queen Mother first, she should come soon, let her take care of it, she is good at this." ”

After that, he didn't give Dehuan time to react, and ran away in a hurry while shouting that he was going to meet the Great Khan to report an emergency.

“……”

Tuhuan couldn't help it, so he came to the gate again, followed by a group of guards, and walked around there.

It's definitely okay to pull them apart. These two are not ignorant of the overall situation, and they have helped a lot before, so it is impossible to really delay the business. But the problem is that the ancients all knew that it was difficult for a Qing official to decide family affairs, not to mention that two women competed for a lover, I am afraid that there is no "reason" to judge. When encountering such trivial things, I am afraid that Bao Gong will have to walk around.

Moreover, Tuohuan is also a relative of Theodora and a friend of the Guo family. He helped Theodora, and Guo Ponu had to blame him for being partial; If you help Guo Ponu, the next time you will be beaten by Theodora, I'm afraid it won't be Guo Ponu and Guo Kang. What can I do about this......

Looking closely, these two people are quite energetic.

As he said before, Guo Ponu's martial arts are very good. Under the teaching of a group of famous masters and chivalrous warriors, the basic skills are very solid, and the fists and feet are like flowing water, with almost no superfluity, and they all make people feel happy. Moreover, she is often in contact with all kinds of martial arts in the south and north of the world, and has traveled a few times, and she knows all kinds of tricks well, even if the kung fu on the other side is rare and weird, she will not suffer when they first meet.

Whether it is the foundation, the degree of effort, or the knowledge, it can be said that it is a first-class existence, and it is no wonder that she complains every day, feeling that she is her father's heir.

However, Theodora did not give in at all. Although she mixes in the court every day, she has also been dragged by her grandmother to practice every day since she was a child. Her martial arts skills are definitely not as good as those of Guo Ponu and Shi Huizhen, but her physical fitness is better, not only is she taller, but her internal talent is also amazing.

Tuhuan has always felt that she is the second person in Rome's internal force under Guo Daus. This kind of person doesn't want to be a rabbit, but hides in the palace and plays with the Greeks, no matter how you look at it, it's too much of a loss...... As the saying goes, one force will drop ten times, and with this foundation, she is not afraid of Guo Ponu.

Although she seems to be passive in her moves, she has not been affected too much. Unarmed kung fu is not as good as a sword on the battlefield, and people with strong resistance to blows will indeed have an advantage, let alone her level. Therefore, although he suffered a lot, Theodora became more and more frustrated, and even began to chase Guo Ponu around.

"Both of them have been fighting all night, how can they still have extra energy to toss......" Tuohuan muttered, not knowing what to do.

But just then, outside the wall, someone walked in. The guards at the door also ran inside. Tuohuan hurriedly went to look, only to see Shi Huizhen holding a wine jug, drinking it, and swaggering in.

"The anti-thief leader is here!"

"Why did you run this way!"

The crowd was shocked.

Thinking of Shi Ke's words just now, Tuhuan felt very wrong. But since she came over by herself, and it caused a commotion, she could only be wronged for the time being, detain her, and look back to see what was going on.

Tuhuan didn't think much about it, and immediately asked everyone to stay calm, and then called the cowardly Xue Guard and went out to meet her.

Shi Huizhen had a very bright intuition about the battle formation, and when she saw Tuohuan walking over with someone, she seemed to feel that something was not right. But she didn't think about it so much, and the people in her entourage were waiting outside, so she continued to walk forward.

Tuohuan ordered the cowardly Xue to control her first, and Shi Huizhen fully reacted at this time, shouting loudly: "I'm here to see the princess, what are you going to do!" "While punching and kicking, desperately resisting.

Cowardly Xue are all the elite of the Khanate, and all of them are extraordinary, but this girl is too brute force, and a few strong men can't hold it......

Dehuan was going to wait for it to be controlled, and then tell her about the various accusations that others had made against her. Otherwise, she might just run away. However, before he could announce the situation, Shi Huizhen broke free from the shackles of cowardly Xue, yelled, and threw herself at Tuhuan.

Shi Huizhen has practiced martial arts and is a fighting maniac, once she pounces and injures Taiji, it will be worth it. Douhuan has been on the battlefield for a long time, often facing all kinds of ill-intentioned assassins, and is very experienced, and runs far away with a swish.

Shi Huizhen exerted all her strength, but she threw herself into the air, planted on the ground with a pop, and fell into a. The cowardly Xue hurriedly rushed up to hold her down.

Considering that the other important suspects are either dead or still under arrest, this is the first one for her. Everyone didn't dare to slack off, so they quickly tied her up and went to tell the Great Khan.

Shi Huizhen was still shouting there in a daze, Guo Ponu and Theodora both noticed the movement, and they couldn't fight anymore for a while, so they hurriedly came over to see what was going on.

They said that Shi Huizhen had been with Guo Kang and others against the rebels. However, Tuhuan truthfully pointed out that everyone was accusing Shi Huizhen of taking the lead in rebellion, and he didn't know what the situation was, so he could only arrest it first. Besides, they had been fighting before, and neither of them had told him about it.

Taking advantage of this, Tuhuan also picked up her wine jug.

"This wine is probably the same as the last time I robbed it." He sniffed it and muttered, "If you don't believe it, let's go to her house and rummage through it, and we will definitely be able to find the wine from the last time." ”

Theodora and Guo Ponu had no choice but to follow the coercion of Dehuan, stop fighting, go to the palace first, and explain the situation to each other.

And after thinking about it, he went back to the palace first and decided that he had to talk to his parents about the situation.

He went to the parlor on the second floor again, this time, the Roman officials had already left one after another, and several foreign envoys were waiting at the door. The door opened, and the mermaids entered, and the queen of the house also saw the contemplative dejoy outside, and stretched out her hand to beckon him in.

This was not a serious meeting, but those people saw the turmoil in the city and hurriedly ran to ask if something had happened. However, on the side of the Purple Horde, he hasn't figured things out yet, so naturally he can't understand it. But the normal diplomatic process still has to be followed, who let their family make such a big noise. Therefore, the two sides still followed the routine and politely exchanged words.

A few other people, seeing that there is no news here, forget it. But the messenger of Venice had something to say.

"In the morning, I got some news from here." "Before, some Italians formed trade guilds, including our merchants. Last night, their side seemed to be affected. But it was very confusing, and my servant didn't ask about it. ”

"As an envoy of the Republic, I hope to know the damage and the cause of the incident as soon as possible. It is my duty to protect the interests of our merchants as well as possible, and I hope that Your Majesty will understand. ”

"We understand what you're asking." The queen also replied slowly: "However, the incident was hasty, although the situation has been brought under control as soon as possible, we are still chasing the fleeing thieves, extinguishing the fire, and restoring order in the city." At the moment, we don't know the whole story, so we can't jump to conclusions. Otherwise, it will be irresponsible for the friendly relations between our two countries. ”

The Venetian envoy thought for a moment, and probably felt that he really couldn't ask anything now, and it was enough to make a statement.

"Then please allow me to wait humbly, and hope that your country can get through this extraordinary period as soon as possible and return to normal." He said expertly.

"If there is any news from the Venetian merchants, I will let the Ministry of Rites inform you as soon as possible." The queen nodded: "Do you have any questions?" ”

"I'm a little curious about what you just said." The Venetian did not hide it either, and asked bluntly: "You just said that it was the thieves who were hunted. But after I was waiting, I heard others say they were rebels. What level did I ask about last night? ”

"It's not like we're trying to ask about it." He looked at the envoys next to him and explained: "It's just that the qualitative difference between being attacked by thieves and being attacked by rebels is very different for our merchants. The Republic will also respond in a different way. ”

"The former is a very common accident on the way to business. Although the Constantinople merchant inn is in the city, we are very aware of the security of the big city. If these merchants and chambers of commerce have joined mutual aid organizations for unexpected situations, or have signed relevant contracts, we will help them issue corresponding certificates so that they can be compensated. Otherwise, these risks should naturally be borne by these businessmen themselves. ”

"But being attacked by the rebels is another matter. If the rebels have their own organization, with specific claims and leaders, then we will treat them as self-reliant regimes. caused losses, we will come forward to claim. Now that they have done damage to our merchants, we can already intervene in this matter. He stated it earnestly, one by one.

"This is an important city in your country, and we are here, and there is no armed force to help us. However, we can pursue the property of the leader of the enemy in accordance with the law, and seize his land, ships and goods abroad. If he has business dealings with the Republic, we will also freeze the corresponding part of the wealth as compensation. ”

"The Constantinople merchant house is very large, and the amount of money involved is estimated to be quite large, and I suspect that it will affect the interests of many merchants afterwards, and they will definitely put pressure on the government of the Republic, and I am afraid that they will have to come back to disturb it later." The envoy said earnestly: "As a special envoy, I still need to apologize to the two Majesties in advance. ”

Although he said it very honestly, the queen also looked like a veteran, and still said unhurriedly: "We are not interested in your trade rules, and we have no intention of interfering. Now all investigations and results need to be carried out according to Roman rules. ”

"We thank you for your sincerity. We have always respected the interests of friendly countries and will do our best to help our friendly countries. She finally said: "After the matter is completed, you can directly contact Yousi, and they will provide you with the necessary documents and procedures in accordance with the law." ”

When it comes to this, it's basically pretty much the same. The Venetian envoy bowed down and thanked him, and several other envoys followed suit.

Tuhuan estimates that the Venetians actually want to see the specific characterization of the event. However, this matter must be carefully considered by the Purple Horde itself. Fortunately, his mother was very experienced, and it didn't take much effort to prevaricate.

Even if the Venetians really don't understand the amorous style and insist on asking, they probably won't be able to get this "Yousi" to say anything - Tuhuan himself doesn't know who Youji is this time. Of course, these slippery businessmen generally only inquire about the news, and will not really make trouble.

After that, the two sides talked about some daily cooperation topics, including Guo Kang's previous proposal to attract investment from Italian businessmen. However, these things are relatively simple, just confirm each other's attitudes, and the specific details can only wait for the executors to negotiate carefully.

After all the topics were over, the Venetian, who was in the lead, asked seemingly casually: "We were in the corridor just now, and I heard many people say that Her Royal Highness the Princess is thinking about marriage. The marriage of a Roman princess is a major event for the world. Has your country decided on this? ”

"Not yet." The queen looked at Penn Khan, then shook her head.

Tuhuan became curious and became interested, wanting to see what this person thought.
