Chapter 252: A Lifetime Event
Altan Khan's personal soldiers had already surrounded the camp, and Cheng Ge pressed his waist knife to protect Altan Khan, and several of Xiao Qin's henchmen also surrounded Xiao Qin's side.
Xiao Qin smiled bitterly: "Great Khan, you and I have cooperated for many years, and today for a Xiao Feng, do you want to make such a fuss?" ”
Altan Khan shook his head: "Mr. Xiao, you know that I have always respected you. Today is not Xiao Feng's business, but you have to block the mutual market peace talks.
After a few days of fierce fighting, you and I know very well that even if the Ming army can't stop us from leaving this time, it will be difficult to loot at will like before.
After many years of fighting, the grassland also needs to recuperate, this is a great opportunity for my Mongolian departments, and I ask Mr. Xiao not to deliberately destroy it. ”
Xiao Qin said lightly: "If I don't pull out the poison for Xiao Feng, how will you be, do you want to kill me?" ”
Altan Khan did have murderous intent for a moment, but he was an extremely smart person, and he immediately realized that it was definitely not a good choice to turn against Xiao Qin at this time.
On the one hand, the Tatar army is not yet out of danger, and even if it rushes outward, it still needs Xiao Qin's planning ability; On the other hand, Xiao Qin's kung fu is extremely high, and she is so close at this time, if she really makes a move, she is also in danger.
The most important thing is that the peace talks have not yet succeeded, if they start internal strife first, the Ming side will inevitably feel that there is an opportunity, and they will take advantage of the opportunity to lower the price!
So Altan Khan sighed: "What did Mr. Xiao say?" You and I have been friends for many years and respect each other, how can we get to that point? Since the gentleman resolutely refused, he could only give up. ”
He turned to Hu Zongxian: "Your Excellency, I can agree to the other conditions you said, as long as we can sign a mutual market contract today, we will withdraw immediately, and we will never hurt a single person along the way."
As for Xiao Zhenren's matter, you have also seen it, I can't do anything about it. I also hope that your envoy will focus on the overall situation, and don't let the people suffer and lose their lives for Xiao Feng alone. ”
Hu Zongxian's triangular eyes were full of anger, but his heart was sad. Sure enough, Xiao Feng guessed correctly. From start to finish, not a bad step.
After suggesting that Qiu Luan and Hu Zongxian should serve as the principal and deputy envoys, Xiao Feng repeatedly told Jiajing:
Negotiate peace first, don't be too entangled in your own affairs, Xiao Qin will not agree, he can't wait to sabotage the peace talks. And the more this is the case, the less we can satisfy him!
Hu Zongxian took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down: "Since that's the case, then sign it, I don't think you dare to wait for two more days."
Also, I want to bring back Xiao Gongzi's embroidered spring knife, which is a relic of his late father! ”
Alta Khan agreed, and immediately asked people to take out the embroidered spring knife, and immediately prepared a petition form with Hu Zongxian, as well as a draft treaty on mutual markets.
Altan Khan first pressed the mudra and the sweat seal, and Hu Zongxian also pressed the handprint, but he would not carry the seal of the imperial court on his body, so he had to take the things back to the capital to use the seal.
Xiao Qin saw that the general trend had gone and the peace talks could not be stopped, so she could only smile helplessly and take her henchmen back to her tent.
He knew that as soon as he left the Ming level, he and Altan Khan would probably have to part ways, and this chariot would not charge for him again, at least in the short term, and be stained with blood.
He had to find another one, but fortunately, he never pinned his hopes on one tank.
The next morning, Hu Zongxian handed over to Altan Khan with a treaty with a good seal and an annex to the petition form issued by Emperor Jiajing, and the peace talks between the two sides were declared successful.
Jiajing scolded Altan Khan heartily on Altan Khan's plea form, and let out a fierce sigh. Altan Khan didn't care about this and accepted it calmly.
You Han people only care about that little face, but what I care about is real benefits, scolding two sentences that doesn't hurt or itch, I'm afraid of a fart.
The Tatars raised their camps. Ding Rukui was not at ease with Altan Khan's assurance, so he asked Qi Jiguang to lead 10,000 cavalry to follow them from afar, to see if they had any changes, they must follow outside the Gubei Pass, and then re-strengthen the defense line at the Gubei Pass!
Jiajing's unsolved matter of Xiao Feng's poison was kept strictly secret according to Xiao Feng's intentions, except for Qiu Luan and Hu Zongxian, who wanted to discuss the terms of peace talks, the other courtiers did not know the truth.
Liu Tong learned the truth from the guy who didn't have a strict mouth because he knew Imperial Doctor Jing by mistake, and Qi Jiguang didn't have a friend of this level, so naturally he wouldn't know.
Therefore, although Qi Jiguang was a little worried about whether Xiao Feng had fully recovered, he still accepted the order with the nature of a soldier and led his troops to Gubeikou.
As the news of the peace conference spread, the people of the capital involuntarily poured into the city, but failed to enter the city, and the people who were hiding everywhere also ran out, angrily scolding the Tatar cavalry.
The Tatar cavalry was quite tolerant, and the farewell of the people was noisy anyway, and it was impossible to hear what they were greeting, but they just buried themselves in the march.
Their hearts were also very sad. When he came out this time, there were 30,000 iron horsemen, and when he went back, there were only 123,000 left, if it weren't for the great Khan who reached such a major event as the mutual market at the last moment, it could be regarded as a loss of troops and a loss of generals, and nothing was gained.
Altan Khan pinched a cold sweat in his heart, he didn't want to fight it anyway, so he didn't hesitate to turn his face with Xiao Qin. If he can't even bring back 10,000 men in the end, then what awaits him is likely to be a rebellion of various tribes.
At that time, it is difficult to say whether Xiao Qin will be on his side. Altan Khan knew that Xiao Qin would definitely stand on the side of the winner.
If the rebels have a better momentum, Xiao Qin will most likely go to talk to the other party about cooperation, and turn around and give herself a knife.
In Xiaofu, it is more lively at the moment than outside the city. Because of Xiao Feng's banquet guests, more than 30 guests, plus the people in the house, especially the group of children, occupied a lot of space, and the ten large tables were full.
An Qingyue also came, with a cloth belt hanging from her right arm, obviously not lightly injured. But Xiao Feng told her that she must come, and she would not be able to open the table without her.
An Qingyue was in a very good mental state, and she was still carrying an embroidered spring knife in her left hand: "This is the head of the war catcher, let me hand it over to you." In the meantime, let me give you a word. ”
Xiao Feng smiled and took the embroidered spring knife, walked back to the house, respectfully placed it on the knife holder, and looked back at An Qingyue who followed up: "What words?" ”
"That Mr. Xiao in the Tatar camp has unfathomable martial arts, but his internal skills are extremely similar to the people we met that night who shot arrows outside the city."
Xiao Feng's eyes lit up, he had already guessed about the same thing, and with the information provided by Zhan Feiyun, it was almost certain.
Then he smiled bitterly, but unfortunately, he couldn't crack it himself. He took a deep breath and solemnly told An Qingyue.
"Go and check the person who sells medicine in the capital, his medicine is sometimes called Jin Mantuo, sometimes it is called Bliss Pill, and many dignitaries have bought it.
Remember that after finding out, you must bring more people when you want to arrest them, especially Zhan Feiyun, as well as Jinyi Wei, and bring as many people as you can.
He was the one who shot arrows outside the city that night, and you learned kung fu. If you don't move, let Guo Jun ask for a decree. ”
An Qingyue looked at him dumbfounded. What's the situation? Is this the case? Don't you even need to test words now?
Xiao Feng couldn't help but smile when he looked at her like this, then put away his smile and looked at her quietly.
"You should have something to ask me."
An Qingyue nodded, she didn't dare to ask, in fact, she was afraid of getting a definite answer.
"Senior Brother Zhang Wuxin, he ...... How is he? ”
Xiao Feng shook his head: "I don't know, I'm not an immortal." ”
An Qingyue comprehended, picked up the pen with her left hand, and was just about to write, when Xiao Feng held down her hand.
"Zhang Wuxin is not someone you are, even if it is, it is his own life, you may not be able to ask for him."
This reminder is very necessary, Xiao Feng had found before that the word measurement in the Book of Heaven is the most restrictive when it comes to measuring human life.
Not to mention that An Qingyue and Zhang Wuxin are just a little ambiguous, even if they really become husband and wife, it may not be possible to measure each other's lives.
It may not be feasible for parents and brothers to measure each other's lives. It can be seen that human life is a matter of heaven, not empty words, and free to determine the number in the dark.
An Qingyue gritted her teeth, her apple face tightened, she tried hard to think about it, and finally figured it out, and wrote down a big word: "marriage"!
"Can I still get married in this life? It's my own business! ”
It's beautiful!! Xiao Feng was almost about to applaud An Qingyue!
To be honest, Xiao Feng didn't expect to ask like this just now, he thought of several ways to ask questions for An Qingyue, but it was definitely not as good as this!
An Qingyue obviously swore in her heart that she would not marry Zhang Wuxin.
Then she tests whether she can get married, although the test is definitely her own business, in fact, it is equivalent to testing whether Zhang Wuxin is still alive and whether he can return safely!
Xiao Feng stopped talking nonsense, picked up this piece of paper, and stared at the word "marriage" on it, he felt that he had never been as concentrated and tried his best like now, even the time when he forcibly measured the word, it couldn't compare!
Outside, Zhang Tianci was arranging for all the guests to sit at the table, because there were many people, so he did not use the kitchen of Xiao Mansion, but after making it from the Zuixian Building, he used a carriage to send the food box to Xiao Mansion.
Lan Da Lan Niang brought delicious food like water, and the children jumped up and down in the banquet, noisy and noisy, mixed with the old-fashioned scolding from time to time, and the threatening voice of the eldest sister Tou Xiaodong.
The room was as quiet as an empty mountain, as if all the noise was far away, separated by a layer of mist.
Until Xiao Feng's voice broke the silence.
"The word marriage, the left woman and the right faint, just look at the surface, there is a woman faint, even if you can marry someone, you will be considered a stupid thing.
But ......"
Some people died, but not completely......
