No matter how many are disheartened, how many are reluctant, how many entanglements are repeated...... The day of Zhao Xin's marriage still came cruelly and ruthlessly as scheduled.

On the first day of the fifth month, it was cloudy and rainy.

It was obviously the morning of the day, but the sky was dark and like the setting sun, and it was like the state of mind of the "protagonist" Zhao Xin at this time, which was gloomy and chaotic.

But even so, it is still difficult to hide the excitement and enthusiasm of the ignorant people.

Outside the north gate of Lin'an City, the ceremonial music and honor guards are all displayed, one by one wearing red and hanging colors, the spirit is high, waiting for the protagonist to appear. Three thousand royal guards used spears as bars to block tens of thousands of civilians on both sides of the streets.

At this moment, thousands of people inside and outside the city gate are crowded, crowds of people, shoulder to shoulder, and people are boiling, as if the people of the entire Lin'an City have come to witness the unforgettable moment of the princess's marriage.

"Look! The princess is coming!"

In the bustling crowd, I don't know who shouted in a thin voice, which attracted everyone's attention.

A stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the noisy crowd suddenly boiled, and the cries of wave after wave seemed to buzz the air between heaven and earth, and the entire Lin'an City trembled slightly.

At this moment, even though the Imperial Foresters were shouting loudly to maintain order, they still couldn't get a trace of response like a stone sinking into the sea.

The gong opens the way, and the guard of honor goes first.

Fifty Xiangfu guards with swords and swords walked on both sides, and Feng Tianba rode his horse in front of and behind the convoy, looking around cautiously with his sharp eyes, holding the reins in his left hand and holding the hilt of his right hand.

The convoy came slowly, and at the forefront were two tall horses, one black and one white, with red silk on their heads, which were particularly eye-catching.

Riding a black horse is the Mongolian envoy who picks up relatives, Su He. Riding a white horse is the Great Song Dynasty and his personal envoy, Liu Xunyi.

After the second horse, it was a four-wheeled carriage, on which were Mongolian envoys, "King of Hexi" according to Chen.

After that, several eunuchs from the Inner Service Province accompanied them on foot, led by Ding Qinghong, the "deputy governor of the right class" of the Inner Service Province.

After Ding Qinghong, there is the much-anticipated princess float, a tight eight-wheeled carriage wrapped in a silk curtain. The people on both sides of the street stood on tiptoe one by one, desperately looking into the car, but they could only vaguely see Zhao Xin's shadow through the layers of gauze curtains, which disappointed many people who wanted to see the princess.

Wherever the floats passed, they all caused a shout like a "mountain and tsunami".

However, Zhao Xin, who was sitting in the car, remained motionless, and in the face of the enthusiastic people, she turned a blind eye and turned a deaf ear. It seems that Zhao Xin's mood at the moment is incompatible with the excitement around her.

After the float, there are ten carts of rare treasures, which are the rich dowry prepared by the Song Dynasty court for Zhao Xin.

In fact, these "dowries" are only a drop in the bucket compared with the military salaries and food given to Mongolia during the negotiations between Xifu.

At the end of the convoy, there were two mediocre carriages, which were driven by Lord Lang Jia of the Eastern Mansion and Lord Qian, the deputy privy envoy. The two lords came to see them off at the emperor's behest, so they walked at the end of the line.

At this moment, Zhao Yuan and Lord Jia were in the same car, and Bai Jin and Lord Qian were in the same car.

The two cars were about two cars, followed by more than a dozen officials and guards from the east and west mansions, and Qin Wei and Ding Chou were also among them.

As for Sui Zuo and Xu Guangsheng, they were leading their troops to meet them outside the city gate at this time.

In the carriage, Zhao Yuan lifted the curtain from time to time to look at the flooded street, and sighed: "Today's grand occasion is more lively than we expected. ”

Master Jia said secretly: "In troubled times, the more lively the place, the more dangerous it is. Tianji Hou should know that today's Lin'an City ...... It's not peaceful. ”

Just this one sentence made the smile on Zhao Yuan's face freeze immediately, and he said embarrassedly: "Don't worry, as long as Liu Xunyi leaves Lin'an, those troublesome Jianghu people will definitely disperse in a hurry." ”

"A rabble is a rabble. Master Jia sneered, "On weekdays, they do some obscene things like stealing chickens and dogs, and now Liu Xunyi is riding a high-headed horse to swagger through the market, why don't they come out to chase and kill? ”

"Today's pomp and circumstance, there are thousands of Imperial Forest troops in the robust and stubborn inside, and there are Mongolian iron cavalry and Praetorian Guard battalions waiting for them, and no one dares to act rashly. jumped out to make trouble at this juncture, either tired of being alive or having something wrong with your head. ”

Suddenly, Master Jia changed his words and asked with great interest, "Tianji Hou, what do you say...... Will Liu Xunyi elope with the princess halfway?"

"This ......" Zhao Yuan's heart tightened, and he hesitated, "It should be ...... After all, it was Chen and Su He who would guarantee him, and if Liu Xunyi did something bad, it would be difficult for the two of them to explain in front of the Mongolian Great Khan. ”

"Su He is a person who practices martial arts, and the rivers and lakes on his body are extremely heavy, so he is easily deceived by Liu Xunyi. As for press Chen...... was kept in the dark from beginning to end, and he didn't know anything about Liu Xunyi. Lord Jia sighed, "If there is a mistake, the Great Khan of Mongolia will definitely count this bad debt on my Great Song Dynasty." After all, the person who kidnapped their princess can now bear the title of 'Great Song Dynasty and his personal envoy', and he is a serious court envoy. ”

"In that case, why did the emperor give Liu Xunyi the title of 'peace envoy'?" Zhao Yuanfei explained, "In terms of rank and status, he is far from qualified. ”

"First, Xu Guangsheng, as a guard general, has occupied half of the country in sending off relatives. He is a person from the Western Mansion, and in order to balance the merits of the Eastern and Western Mansions, the emperor must select a person from the Eastern Mansion to serve as the 'peace envoy'. One article and one martial arts, half of the credit. Master Jia said helplessly, "The people who sent relatives in the Eastern Mansion, except for Liu Xunyi, only Feng Tianba remained. In terms of official rank, Feng Tianba is the guard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, which is even worse than Liu Xunyi. Therefore, the emperor has no choice but Liu Xunyi, and he can't let Ding Qinghong and his eunuchs act as our 'peace envoys' of the Great Song Dynasty, right?"

"Dongfu is full of talents, why not send one more ......"

"That's the second reason. Master Jia interrupted, "This trip to send relatives is by no means a tour of the mountains and rivers, one is careless, there is no return, try to ask the Chinese martial arts of the dynasty who wants to go? Who dares to go? According to the etiquette, such an important peace relationship, the emperor should send an important minister or even Wang Ye to serve as a 'peace envoy'." However, in the past, there was a lesson from the past of the 'Second Emperor Huiqin', and what if the Mongols followed the example of the Jin and took them hostage? Moreover, most of the princes and important ministers of the court were in possession of secrets, so what if they were forced to ask by the Mongols?

"What Master Jia said is extremely true. Zhao Yuan couldn't deny it, "Thinking about it this way, it is safest to send an insignificant person to send his relatives." ”

"Yes, the emperor gave Liu Xunyi a great honor, but in fact, he also pushed the boat along the river. After all, Liu Xunyi is a 'friend' of the Mongols, and to give him face is to give face to the Mongols. ”

"Alas, I think I'm a great Song, and now I'm reduced to looking at the faces of these Tartars, it's really ......."

"Shhhhh

"Two adults, we're here!"

When Master Jia and Zhao Yuan were talking, the carriage that was shaking all the way gradually stopped. Immediately afterwards, Qin Wei's voice came from outside the car curtain.

At this moment, the convoy of relatives stopped three miles outside the North City Gate. Sui Zuo's 800 iron cavalry and Xu Guangsheng's 300 elites are also here.

With the support of the guards, Lord Jia, Zhao Yuan, Lord Qian, and Bai Jin got out of the carriage one after another and walked towards the oncoming press Chen.

"King of Hexi" according to Chen, an old man over sixty years old. Different from the feeling of other Mongolians, he is thin and tall, and his speech and demeanor are quite a bit of the elegance of the Central Plains, and he is very easy-going in dealing with people, giving people a feeling of being very approachable.

Although Chen is not young, he is deaf and clear-sighted, and he is in good spirits.

Several adults were greeting each other goodbye, and on the other hand, Su He, Liu Xunyi, Xu Guangsheng, Feng Tianba, Sui Zuo and their deputy Tao Amu were also getting to know each other.

"Why don't we all introduce each other!" As if feeling that the atmosphere of several people was not very harmonious, Su He took the initiative to break the deadlock and said to Liu Xunyi, "General Sui is an old friend, and Brother Liu has known each other for a long time. Next to him is his lieutenant Tao Amu. ”

"This is the guard general Xu Guangsheng!" Liu Xunyi introduced, "That is Feng Tianba, the guard commander of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Once, Feng Tianba served as a lieutenant under General Xu. ”

"It turned out to be General Xu and Commander Feng, who were under Su He, disrespectful!" Su He arched his hand, "It's a long way to the northwest, and I hope the two of you will take care of it." ”

"It's nature. Xu Guangsheng glanced at Liu Xunyi without a trace, and said with something in his words, "I will be ordered to be in charge of all matters in the Great Song Dynasty, and if Your Excellency is in trouble, just look for me." ”

"General Xu's words are wrong!" Feng Tianba retorted expressionlessly, "Lord Liu is the emperor's hand-appointed 'peace envoy', so all matters on the part of the Great Song Dynasty should be arranged by him. General Xu only cares about protecting the princess, and as for other things, there is no need to interfere. ”

"Feng Tianba, you ......"

"General Xu, Commander Feng!" Before Xu Guangsheng could refute it, Liu Xunyi suddenly interjected, "It's all my own family, don't let Brother Su and General Sui laugh at it." ”

"The priorities are unclear, everything is not going well, what kind of jokes are there?"

Before Su He could speak, a yin and yang strange laughter suddenly came from a distance. Ding Qinghong came to the front with a bewitching step, first showed a sly smile at Liu Xunyi, and then said to Su He and Sui Zuo: "I can testify for General Xu about the Great Song Dynasty on the way to send my relatives...... He has the final say. ”

"Gonggong Ding!" Feng Tianba said angrily, "As a eunuch, you don't wait by the princess's side, what nonsense do you come here to talk nonsense?" Feng has never received an order to listen to your arrangement......

"Humph!"

When Feng Tianba and Ding Qinghong sneered and exchanged words, Sui Zuo's expression became more and more disdainful, and he snorted coldly and left with Tao Amu.

Before the departure began, the team of the Great Song Dynasty to send off relatives had diverged, which made Su He, who did not know the truth, very embarrassed.

"Lord Yanagi!"

Ding Chou's voice suddenly sounded from behind Liu Xunyi, and taking this opportunity, Liu Xunyi surrendered to Su He to make amends, and turned to meet Ding Chou and Qin Wei who came in a hurry.

"You're here!"

"Lord Liu, you must come back safely. Ding Chou held back his tears and grinned with a smile that was more ugly than crying, "Now I stand on the pile every day, and I don't feel tired anymore." I will definitely pass the next test, Xiao Dingzi will wait for you to come back and continue to teach me martial arts. ”

"Okay, I'll be back safely. After that, Liu Xunyi stretched out his little finger and asked with a smile, "Do you want to pull a hook today?"

"This ......" Ding Chou hesitated, wanted to stretch out his hand but didn't dare to stretch out his hand, hesitated for a long time, when Liu Xunyi wanted to withdraw his hand, he suddenly turned his heart sideways, firmly hooked Liu Xunyi's finger with his little finger, and said in a matter-of-fact manner, "It didn't count before to pull a hook, but this time it's true." Lord Liu must come back safely, he broke his promise is a puppy, I am waiting for you!"

"A word is a certainty!" Liu Xunyi's heart warmed, and he rubbed Ding Chou's head with his hand.

Qin Wei stood aside, silently watching the warm scene in front of him, for some reason, the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch after hearing Ding Chou's "oath", but it was fleeting and did not arouse anyone's notice.

"Brother Qin, I'm leaving!"

Liu Xunyi's voice broke Qin Wei's trance, he was shocked, and without saying anything else, he directly gave Liu Xunyi a tight hug.

"Brother Liu, be careful!"

"You too, be careful!"

Liu Xunyi and Qin Wei hugged each other tightly, cherishing each other, and the estrangement during this time became insignificant due to the upcoming separation.

Brothers for more than 20 years, until this moment found out that this situation is indestructible and unbreakable.
