Chapter 34 Envoy to the Huns

Yan Qixing was wounded by the sword, the wound was on the left rib, the injury seemed not light, and the placket of his clothes was stained red with blood. He pressed his left hand against the wound, his face unchanged at all, as if he had only cut his fingers, and his brow did not frown. I really don't know whether to praise him as a "tough guy" or scold him for being "stubborn".

The embroidered messengers who came to support were estimated to have dozens of people, escorting the captured assassin, in order to prevent changes in the middle, Yan Qixing decided to personally escort the only raw mouth back to the embroidery department, so everyone did not act in batches. Seeing that the boss was injured, he simply rested on the spot, and a few close people came around to care about the boss's injury.

Without waiting for others to do anything, I drew my sword out of the sheath and grabbed an embroidered messenger casually, he was startled by this abrupt action, I swung my sword and cut off a piece of his cloak and tore it into a long strip, and bandaged Yan Qixing's wound with Xin Mi.

Yan Qixing didn't refuse, watched me take the cloth and go around on him one by one, and said, "If this official is dead, you will have a chance." The second half of the sentence should be: You have the opportunity to envoy the Huns. The implication is: why is it so good to me?

I sneered: "There are so many people here, even if I don't do it, there will naturally be others who will be courteous to you, so you can't die." Rather than let others please me, it is better for me to come myself, maybe your brother will say a few kind words for me in front of Your Majesty for the sake of me saving your lover and helping you to wrap up your wounds, and fulfill my wish. It's called reciprocal and fair dealing, so don't be grateful. ”

"Love?" he frowned. "What do you mean by that?"

I tied the last knot, clapped my hands and said, "Wife, lover, crush, sweetheart?" ”

Xin Mi blushed when she heard this, and said angrily: "Lord Liu is going to talk nonsense." "The voice was as low as a mosquito's chirp.

I laughed and said: "Since ancient times, men and women love naturally, he has no wife and you have no husband, you can talk about complex marriage if you are happy, what is there to be ashamed of?"

This girl is clearly pretending to be innocent with me, and the courage to chase me back then was used on Yan Qixing, and he couldn't run away.

"Lord Liu, be careful when you speak!" Yan Qixing's face was not very good-looking, and his voice was full of anger. "The relationship between this official and Miss Xin is above board, there is no ambiguity, and the reputation of this official is not worth mentioning, but if Miss Xin is ruined because of your nonsense, can you afford the consequences?"

I blinked, what kind of person is this? Dare to break off the relationship like this in front of his girlfriend? This is simply a fundamental disintegration of our women's confidence and destruction of our women's self-esteem. If this matter is left on me, I will immediately turn my face and say goodbye.

Looking sideways at Xin Mi, she couldn't see anything with a faint smile. Did I really get it wrong? No, the Assassins got it wrong?

Taking advantage of the rest, Xin Mi whispered to me that she only occasionally had a few chances with Yan Qixing, and she didn't want to be misunderstood by those people, so she was taken captive when she was sleeping tonight, and now I'm afraid the house doesn't know about it.

It's no wonder that this Yan Qixing's personality is rigorous and peculiar, and it is not easy to find his weaknesses, and it is naturally difficult to let go of one if he catches one. Anyway, is it really a coincidence? Or is there something else? Otherwise, why don't people misunderstand others and only misunderstand her?

Forget it, other people's wind and snow moon are me!

There was a sudden chaos over there, and an embroidered messenger came to report that it was the captured person who wanted to escape, but fortunately he was found in time. Hmph, if dozens of people can't stand one, the Embroidery Department might as well close the door and commit collective suicide to apologize.

The prisoner was brought in, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, he was stubborn and ruthless, staring at Yan Qixing's eyes as if he could breathe fire, and that situation proved one thing: if you want to pry something out of his mouth, the tiger chair chili water will definitely not work.

Yan Qixing stared at him for a moment, and suddenly said, "Kill him." ”

Everyone present, including me, was startled, and one of the messengers lost his voice and said, "My lord, you said you killed him?"

Yan Qixing nodded and said affirmatively: "Now!"

"But......" The envoy wanted to object, but was frightened by Yan Qixing's eyes and didn't dare to say more.

He doesn't say I say.

"Lord Yan, it's a pity to kill you if you catch them all and don't ask. "I broke the vow and killed someone just now, and I was depressed and depressed.

I really don't want to see bloodshed and death again, if I have to kill him, it's better to go back to his embroidery department and do it again, I can see it out of sight.

Yan Qixing didn't look at me, and said to his subordinates: "This person has thick eyebrows and huge eyes, his eyes are like fire, his personality must be violent, and he is easy to act impulsively. But at this juncture, he doesn't say a word, he doesn't scold, such a person, it is difficult for him to open his mouth to ascend to the sky, what is the point of leaving it useless and not killing?"

"Just because you can't talk to him doesn't mean no one else can. "I can't help but sarcastically mock him, this guy wants to kill casually based on subjective assumptions, killing people in his eyes seems to be no different from killing a pig and a dog, criminals are also people, and they have their own national laws and sanctions, he Yan Qixing wants to use power to replace the law with power to kill people, but I am also the former emperor and the size of an official, and he dares to kill people in front of me, and he doesn't take me seriously.

Yan Qixing sat on the stone, squinting at me, the uncertain light flickering, according to his unpredictable expression. After a while, he said, "Well, if you ask a word, I will not kill him." ”

Gotcha, an army is coming.

I'm not a police officer, and interrogating prisoners is never my forte, but how can I show weakness in front of this bastard?

I walked up to the prisoner who was tied up with five flowers, looked horizontally and vertically, and asked with a pleasant face, "Young man, at least tell me your name?"

The young man's eyes widened as if they were bull's-eyed, and he looked at me without squeaking. This reaction was expected, Yan Qixing had been on the battlefield for a long time, and it was not far from the right to see people. But today I met Liu Dan, who am I? Two thousand years later, the new modern human beings will deceive if they can't ask questions, and if they can't deceive them, they will naturally have to use some new modern methods.

However, his hands were tied behind his back, which was not conducive to my deception, and he ordered someone to release his left hand, so a strange picture was formed -- a person with his whole body and right hand tied, and his left hand was grabbed by another person, and the other person was me.

"I see that your eyes are red and your eyes are white, and you must have some hidden disease, so I will check your pulse. I was babbling and fingering his left pulse. This young man knew that he couldn't run, so he simply closed his eyes and let me do what I wanted, but I didn't know that this was exactly what I wanted.

I don't know much about Chinese medicine, and the so-called number is just an excuse. His pulse is strong, and his heart must be healthy. Maybe it's because he has a will to die, his heartbeat is very steady, and that's exactly what I want.

"Well, it's a bit of an endocrine disorder, so you have to eat more vegetables and less meat...... Also, drinking less alcohol is good for your liver......" I said with a consistent pulse.

"Are your parents still alive? Are you married?" and do you have children?" began to coax step by step, he closed his eyes and did not answer, and his pulse was still steady.

"At such a young age, what are you doing to rebel against the imperial court? What a pity to die? What will happen to your parents, wives and children in the future?" This kid has no father, no mother, no wife, and no children.

"Tell me, who is the messenger?" "Tsk, usually a little nervous, do you sleep steadily? Do you often have nightmares?"

"Which organization do you belong to?"

"Or, which minister in the court?" the pulse beat slightly. "Let me guess, Wei Qihou Dou Ying? He has lost power over the years, and it is likely that he will be resentful and plot rebellion. However, this person is self-satisfied, difficult to hold on to, and has no talent for rebellion at all, so it can't be him. Otherwise, it is Prime Minister Tian Wei, who is in full swing at the moment, and the saints are flourishing, and it is possible that his ambitions are inflated and he wants to be the emperor himself...... Ah, is it King Yan?King Qi Li?" Then he casually said the names of a few big officials and kings, and the pulse gradually stabilized, and then there was no confusion at all.

"Hey, you are a little kidney deficiency, this disease can be big or small, look at your young age, it is better to treat it as soon as possible, otherwise it will be a big trouble for you to marry a wife in the future." ”

I suddenly said the last name in an accentuated tone: "Huainan King Liu An?" The pulse suddenly jumped wildly, and I added: "Weng Lord Liu Ling?" The pulse jumped wildly.

I let go and ordered, "Tie him up." ”

The criminal's eyes suddenly opened, his eyes full of doubts, this stupid boy, still don't understand what happened.

What I use is just the simplest and most convenient "human polygraph", and it doesn't cost money without using an instrument, and the applicability rate is insufficient, but it is definitely suitable for the uninformed ancients.

In fact, I had already guessed that this matter must be inseparable from Liu An's father and daughter, and it is recorded in the history books that there were only a few people who rebelled in the era of Emperor Wu and were executed, the most famous is Liu An, the king of Huainan, Liu Ci, the king of Hengshan, and the lord Liu Ling is active in Chang'an all the year round, so it is more convenient to do the matter of plotting to kill.

However, why did they do so much to deal with Yan Qixing?

Seeing that the prisoner was escorted a little farther away, I turned to Yan Qixing: "Did you hear everything?"

Yan Qixing snorted: "I heard, you want this official to arrest the important members of the court, the princes, and all the rebels and rebels!"

I shook his head and sarcastically said, "You don't think you're very smart." He had just said that it was Liu An, the king of Huainan, and the direct messenger was Liu Ling, the lord of Weng. ”

Yan Qixing's rigid expression finally changed, and he looked at me in surprise: "How many times has he spoken?"

I smiled and said proudly: "You don't understand the mystery of this...... my mind moved, and I came to Yan Qixing's side and said: "Make a deal, you persuade Your Majesty to let me go as an envoy to the Huns, and I will tell you the way." ”

Yan Qixing was silent, contemplating and pondering, and after a while, his eyes lit up, and he lost his voice: "Good way, wonderful, wonderful." He burst out laughing three times. It's the first time I've seen him smile, cut, it's actually pretty good.

Yan Qixing said: "That kid is young and willful, and his concentration is insufficient, if the other party is determined, this method may not be useful." ”

"Count it in. "There's no need to play now.

Yan Qixing suddenly asked, "Lord Liu, you seem to have decided from the beginning that they belonged to an anti-imperial court organization, not an ordinary thief. How do you know?"

In fact, at the beginning, I thought it was someone sent by Zhao Min, she hated Yan Qixing so much, and it was natural to send someone to kill him, but when those assassins who were seriously injured and couldn't escape committed suicide, I knew that it had nothing to do with Zhao Min.

However, they are well-trained, well-founded, and naturally not an ordinary Jianghu organization, and in addition to the nature of Yan Qixing's work, which is mainly to detect "anti-imperialist forces," it can be inferred that these people must belong to another illegal organization with the same nature as "Dan Xinqi." Maybe it was because some of Yan Qixing's actions hindered them, maybe because he had some secrets about them, and maybe for some reason he hated him so much, so he tried to get rid of him as soon as possible.

I was thinking about how to answer, when he suddenly said in surprise: "During the day today, you have seen Zhao Min." ”

By the way, he sent someone to spy on me, so naturally he couldn't hide anything from him. The emperor's order, he really didn't dare to slack off!

I confessed, "Yes, I've seen her." However, Your Majesty wants to cast a long line to catch a big fish, so it is inconvenient for me to act rashly. Why, you want to beat me up in front of Your Majesty?

Yan Qixing sneered: "This official just wants to advise Lord Liu, don't want to be a ghost and a person at the same time, step on two boats, be careful that you will fall into the water and drown." With that, he gave the order and immediately set off to return to the Embroidery Department.

I choked on him on the spot, unable to speak for a long time.

I'm just thinking about "love and righteousness", and I'm not a person of this era, my soul has no place to belong at all, and I can't talk about "loyalty" or "loyalty" to anyone, if only the word "love and righteousness". If the emperor is in danger, of course, I will try my best to save him, but I can't sit idly by and ignore Zhao Min when he is in danger. What I value is not reason, but human affection, what's wrong with this? Why is it that when it comes to his mouth, he is stepping on two boats?

Alas, I found that my situation with Lord Wei was becoming more and more similar. Sympathize with yourself.

Sent Xin Mi home listlessly, and along the way, he didn't say a word to Miss Xin, and he was extremely depressed. Today is really an unlucky day, not to mention being caught, the worst thing is to break the killing ring, once the bottom line is broken, there are one and two, I am really worried that in the future, killing will it become a habit?

After returning home, I washed my hands at least a dozen times, and I still felt the smell of blood wafting on the tip of my nose, and sat on the bed staring at my blood-stained hands until dawn.

Yan Qixing was injured, for three days in a row, there was no movement in the matter of going to the Xiongnu, I couldn't hold it back, went to see the emperor, the emperor actually avoided me, the "imperial commander"; After hesitating, I had to go to Yan Qixing.

Yan Qixing Mansion is not far from the Embroidery Department, it is estimated that there are too many enemies, and the high wall of the deep courtyard of Yan Mansion is seen from afar, and the front of the mansion is heavily guarded. Before I arrived at the gate of the mansion, I saw a person who should not have appeared here at all -- Fu Yong! He was carrying a medicine box and was coming out of the Yan Mansion.

This is so strange, how could Fu Yong come here? When did he know Yan Qixing? Did he come to treat Yan Qixing's injuries? I didn't mention Yan Qixing's injury to him, how could he know? Even if he knew, what was his relationship with Yan Qixing?

A series of questions grew from the bottom of my heart, making me doubt both Fu Yong and Yan Qixing all of a sudden.

Watching Fu Yong leave, I walked to the gate of Yan's mansion and said to the guards: "Go and report to Lord Yan, and say that Liu Dan, the former imperial commander, has come to pay a visit." ”

Yan Qixing sat on the bamboo collapse under the Danhua tree and received me, the Danhua flowering period has passed, the tall tree is luxuriant, lush, very spectacular, there is such a romantic tree species in Yan Mansion?

"How's it going? I'm almost healed?" I asked, pretending to be concerned, as I sat down on the side of the bamboo collapse.

Yan Qixing didn't answer and asked: "Lord Liu came to the cold house, I don't know what's going on?"

I sighed and said helplessly, "I'm just kind enough to come to see you, even if there is another purpose, Lord Yan, you don't have to be so aggressive." Doesn't it go that many friends have many roads, and many enemies have many mountains?"

Yan Qixing was silent for a moment and said, "Since I became a direct finger embroiderer, this official has never made friends again. ”

"If you don't pay, you won't pay, so you don't have to make enemies for yourself. I said. "Yes, what the embroidery envoy does is to supervise the work of the officials of the royal court, basically standing on the opposite side of us officials, which is the duty and necessity, but it is harmless to have friendly exchanges without violating the principle. If one day, I Liu Dan have any misdeeds, although you handle it according to the law, I Liu Dan will never complain. ”

Yan Qixing smiled faintly and said, "What is Lord Liu doing here?"

After talking for a long time, he didn't buy my account at all!

"It's okay, farewell!" I got angry too, got up and left.

"Wait!" Yan Qixing stopped me with a loud voice. "Actually, the official has already ......"

Before he finished speaking, a voice came from afar: "The edict of the Son of Heaven, Yan Qixing received the edict." ”

A person came over, it was Lu Guang, who was stunned when he saw me, and said, "Lord Liu is also there?" ”

The two knelt on the ground, and Lu Guang preached loudly: "Your Majesty has an edict: in order to comfort the people, to patrol the surroundings, the edict directly refers to the embroidered clothes to make Yan Qixing to be the envoy, and the former imperial governor Liu Dan is the deputy envoy, and three days later he will send an envoy to the Huns. ”

This time the joy fell from the sky, I was so happy that I was almost stunned, Lu Guang shouted a few times, and then hurriedly got up to receive the edict, and wanted to say a few words of thanks but couldn't say it, so I just smiled.

Lu Guang said: "Two adults, tomorrow night Your Majesty will set up a banquet for the two adults in the Qilin Palace, don't miss the time." ”

Lu Guang walked for a long time before I could speak: "Yan Qixing, Your Majesty has allowed me to go to the Xiongnu...... Hey, did you tell Your Majesty something?"

Without waiting for Yan Qixing to reply, I waved my hand excitedly and said, "It doesn't matter if it's not, in short, this account will be recorded on your head, and I Liu Dan will be another picture report in the future." ”

There were not many people at the banquet in the Qilin Palace, except for me and Yan Qixing, who were some close ministers around the emperor, including Wei Qing and Han Yan. Wei Qing was very envious of the fact that I could go to the Huns, and I couldn't wait to ask for this errand and go to the Huns to find out. According to his words, it is actually Sun Tzu's words, that is, "Only by knowing the other can you survive a hundred battles." "Anyway, all he thinks about is fighting. He repeatedly instructed me to pay attention to the situation of the Xiongnu army, including their weapons and equipment, tactical habits, military distribution, and so on.

The Emperor didn't speak much, but most of the time he just looked at me quietly, but he drank a lot, and then quit the table halfway through. I wondered in my heart, I didn't know why it was inconvenient to ask, so I continued to push the cup with the others, and when we were slightly drunk, an attendant secretly came to me: "Your Majesty has called." ”

I wanted to pretend to be drunk and disobey my orders, but I was worried that I would not let me go to the Xiongnu because I was angry with him, so I had to go to the emperor's dormitory.

The Emperor sat down on the wide bed and waited for me, looking not at all drunk, and without waiting for my salute, he beckoned, "Come and sit beside me." ”

I hesitated, but the emperor saw my thoughts and smiled bitterly: "I am not a flood beast, and I will not eat you." ”

It was rare that he did not have to command that by will, and I reluctantly sat down beside him. Sure enough, he had a follow-up action, reached out and put his arm around my shoulder, and whispered, "Stay with me tonight." ”

He didn't say me, but used the word "I", which obviously smelled of pleading, and I really had a war between heaven and man in my heart, and I didn't know what to do. For the sake of the big picture, it is necessary to promise him, but ...... I can't really do it.

The emperor continued: "Aiqing Hugh will misunderstand, if it is not justified, I will never force you." I want to accompany Qing tonight, but I just sleep on my feet, and I will go to the Huns, and I won't be able to see each other for more than a month......"

My heart softened, half for Hetian Yu, half for his affection, I nodded. As the old saying goes, I can't help but let the child trap the wolf. I have adhered to the principle of not killing people for many years, and it has not been broken in the end, how long can this principle of self-love be maintained? I have done my best to go home, Xiao Jian, Xiao Jian, will you understand me, right?

It turns out that I slept with him by no means against my feet, but slept head and foot on my feet for a night, Liu Che was really a gentleman, he said that he would not touch me if he didn't touch me, and he didn't even say a word all night, I asked him why he suddenly allowed me to go to the Xiongnu, and he laughed but didn't answer. In order to avoid embarrassment, I had to rack my brains to tell him some interesting stories, which was very hard. I didn't dare to close my eyes until he fell asleep.

In short, tonight's emperor is very strange! When I woke up, my surroundings were empty, the emperor got up early, and a palace maid I knew came to serve me, and her eyes were full of envy when she looked at me.

"I have nothing to do with Your Majesty. I explained for no reason. "We had a chat last night. ”

"I know. "The palace maids ate and laughed and helped me put on a brand new set of men's official riding and shooting uniforms; another palace maid came in and brought me a large package, saying that it was a suit prepared for me by His Majesty; and a group of palace maids came in and prepared breakfast for me. The last one to appear was the emperor, who looked like he was flying, and last night's parting didn't know where he flew, and I didn't feel at ease here, it turned out to be all self-inflicted.

"It's a long way to go, and Aiqing is good at cherishing herself. "At parting, the Emperor took my hand and finally said something emotional.

"I believe in you before I let you go to the Huns, so don't let me down. He said the last word.

At that moment, I felt like crying!

In June 134 BC, the first year of Yuanguang, I, the new woman of the 21st century, Liu Dan, as an envoy of the Han Dynasty, sent an envoy to the Xiongnu!
