Chapter 523: Harmony
"Your Highness, what do you mean by these words and humble words?" Huang Xiao asked.
"Lord Huang, I actually understand what I mean. Zhao Yuankan smiled slightly, "Actually, if I go to Khitan this time, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble adults." ”
Hearing this, Huang Xiao was stunned, according to Zhao Yuankan's meaning, do you still want to escort yourself?
"Your Highness, do you want to go to the Khitan as well?" Huang Xiao asked.
If he really wants to go to the Khitan, whether it is the imperial court or the 'Six Gates', he will be notified, but he has not received any notice now.
"Oh, I almost forgot about it, this matter is still from my father, and my father has promised that he should make an order soon. Zhao Yuankan said.
Huang Xiao looked at Zhao Yuankan very suspiciously, not knowing why he chose himself. It stands to reason that as a prince, there is no shortage of expert guards around him, and even if he really wants to be escorted by the people of the 'Six Gates', his new 'Saint Catcher' is inferior to the other five in terms of qualifications and martial arts. It seems a little strange to choose the weakest one of yourself.
"Why does Your Highness recommend the lowly position? The lowly martial arts are not as good as the other 'Saint Catchers'. Huang Xiao said.
"I'm a few years older than you, but I'm still a generation. Those old guys are skilled, but they are not their peers after all. There are still many common topics between the two of us. Moreover, those 'saint catchers' may not necessarily follow the will of the emperor. Zhao Yuankan said.
Regarding Zhao Yuankan's previous sentences, Huang Xiao doesn't think so, even if he is similar to his own age, he and he should still have no common topic.
However, Zhao Yuankan's last sentence is good, after all, among the six 'saint hunters', they are divided into two factions, take Huang Qitao's three as an example. I'm afraid they won't really obey the orders of the imperial court.
You Yiyi and Zheng Zhiyi should obey the order, after all, the two of them are from the imperial court.
"Lord You and Lord Zheng are both very good candidates. Huang Xiao said.
Zhao Yuankan shook his head and said, "How can I say it, you are the new 'Saint Catcher', in fact, I am still very curious about you." Moreover, let me be blunt, you have such achievements now, and I am afraid that in the future it will not be as simple as 'catching saints'. ”
Huang Xiaoxin said that this is the case, Zhao Yuankan is optimistic about his future, and now he wants to be good friends with himself. However, it is also a matter of course.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see it. With Huang Xiao's talent, as long as he is given time, his future achievements are limitless. And if Zhao Yuankan wants to ascend the throne, if he does not have the support of a person with sufficient strength, even if he is the nominal prince, I am afraid that he will be pulled down.
Being able to have a good relationship with Huang Xiao now can be regarded as thinking about his future.
"Actually, you and I don't have to see each other like this, I also know the relationship between you and my fourth sister. Zhao Yuankan smiled slightly.
Huang Xiao was stunned. However, his face soon returned to normal.
Since Zhao Guangyi recognized Zhao Xin'er, I am afraid that the matter of himself and Zhao Xin'er will soon be known. As the third prince, Zhao Yuankan is naturally one of them.
But even so, it doesn't mean that he and Zhao Yuankan will be friends. The family relationship between the royal families is still not very reliable, even if he really becomes a colt in the future. It has nothing to do with him, the prince.
"If it is the emperor's decree, the humble position will naturally be obeyed. Huang Xiao said.
"Let the third sister and the fourth sister come to you this time, I want to ask you for other things besides wanting to talk to you about this. Zhao Yuankan said.
"Your Highness, please speak. As long as the humble position can be done, it will never be shirked. Huang Xiao said.
"The escorts along the way, in fact, you don't have to pay too much attention to it. Naturally, the father will arrange it. It's just that they are all secretly protecting, at least there is a saying on the surface, that is you, because you are the 'Holy Catcher' of the 'Six Gates'. Zhao Yuankan said.
Huang Xiao was not surprised by this, after all, he knew very well that his current strength was not enough to protect Zhao Yuankan's safety. Even if he was confident, the emperor would not really rest assured, so it was very certain that he would send a master to secretly protect Zhao Yuankan. However, even so, as long as you leave the palace and leave the Great Song Dynasty, no matter how many masters there are, it is still very risky.
"Then what else do you have to do with your humble position?" Huang Xiao asked.
"Lord Huang may take on a lot of challenges. Zhao Yuankan said.
"Challenge?" Huang Xiao was stunned for a moment, what challenge would he face?
"Lord Huang, you became a 'saint catcher' at a young age, not only in the Great Song Dynasty, even in the Khitan, it will also cause many people to be dissatisfied. Especially some of the young masters of Khitan, they definitely want to compete with you. And this time, Lord Huang can be regarded as frustrating their spirit for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty. In fact, this is one of the reasons why I recommend Lord Huang to go to Khitan with me. Zhao Yuankan said.
Huang Xiao was a little helpless, this is some face struggle between the two countries, in his opinion, it is not worth mentioning, but in Zhao Yuankan's opinion, it is the face between countries, and they have to fight.
However, this can be regarded as a reason, he is a candidate to represent the Great Song Dynasty to go to the Khitan to challenge their younger generation of masters.
"If it is a competition between young people, the lowly position will not be afraid, Your Highness can rest assured. Huang Xiao nodded.
He is still very confident in his own strength now, as long as he is not a master of the older generation, there is no one who can make him afraid, of course, Cao Wuxin of 'Taixuanzong' is an exception.
"That's natural, I heard that you even defeated the disciples of the 'Taixuan Sect', I believe in your strength. Zhao Yuankan said.
"It was luck. Huang Xiao smiled and said, "Your Highness, I don't know how you plan to reconcile with the Khitan when you go to the Khitan this time?" ”
"What else could it be?" Zhao Yuankan smiled self-deprecatingly, "Heqin." ”
"Heqin?" Huang Xiao's eyes widened, but it was normal to think about it.
If the Great Song Dynasty really let Zhao Yuankan go to the Khitan, it would be enough to show the sincerity of the Great Song Dynasty, and if he made peace, then the matter of repairing would naturally not be a big problem.
However, how many years can this kind of repair last, Huang Xiao can't be sure in his heart.
After all, such a rapprochement can also turn the other cheek at any time, and the interests of the two countries cannot be maintained by relying on a single family affair. Of course, something is better than nothing, at least for a while.
"Khitan princess?" asked Huang Xiao.
"No, at most, it is a woman in the Khitan royal family, and she will be canonized as a princess at that time. Zhao Yuankan shook his head and said.
Huang Xiao was a little surprised, and asked: "How can His Royal Highness say that he is the prince of the Great Song Dynasty, isn't this underestimating the Great Song Dynasty?"
Zhao Yuankan is not just a prince, he is almost a candidate for the crown prince, and if the Khitan is not a princess, then this identity does not match at all.
"Actually, this is just a formality, do you think I will care about such a woman? Don't say that I am already married, even if I don't, a Khitan woman cannot be my wife. Zhao Yuankan said.
Huang Xiao nodded and said that he understood, what Zhao Yuankan said was right, this is a political marriage. Even if the real princess marries the Great Song Dynasty, it is impossible to become Zhao Yuankan's wife. After all, Zhao Yuankan will be the crown prince in the future, and his wife will be the crown princess, and finally the queen.
Therefore, it is normal for the Khitan middle clan to choose a woman of appropriate age as a princess and a relative.
Huang Xiao could only sigh helplessly, he couldn't decide anything about such a thing.
"Your Highness, when are we leaving?" asked Huang Xiao.
"If there are no accidents, let's go tomorrow. Zhao Yuankan said.
"Tomorrow, so soon?" Huang Xiao said very unexpectedly, this Zhao Yuankan really said to leave.
"Fast? This is kind of a surprise to some people. Zhao Yuankan smiled and said, "Okay, I think my father will send someone to pass on the decree to you today, and I'll see you here tomorrow." ”
After speaking, Zhao Yuankan stood up, and then walked a few steps outside, then stopped and said to Huang Xiao: "Then, please ask Lord Huang for a while." ”
"Your Highness, rest assured, I will do my best. Huang Xiao hurriedly said.
After Zhao Yuankan left, Huang Xiao went out to ask a maid, and when he learned that Zhao Xin'er was in a small garden not far away, he hurried over.
"Brother Huang!" After seeing Huang Xiao, Zhao Xin'er shouted with joy.
This is just a small garden, not the imperial garden of the palace, but Zhao Xin'er's private space.
Huang Xiao walked quickly to Zhao Xin'er's side, Zhao Xin'er looked at Huang Xiao a little excited, and stopped talking for a while.
"Do you have something to say to me?" asked Huang Xiao.
"Don't you have anything to say to me?" Zhao Xin'er asked rhetorically.
Huang Xiao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "You are more beautiful." ”
Zhao Xin'er said very happily: "Count your mouth sweet, you accompany me to sit in the pavilion." ”
Huang Xiao nodded, then gently took Zhao Xin'er's hand and walked to a pavilion in the small garden together.
Zhao Xin'er snuggled up to Huang Xiao, and after the two of them were warm for a while, Zhao Xin'er said, "I heard that you defeated a disciple of 'Taixuanzong' in the beggar gang?"
"yes, a narrow victory. Huang Xiao stroked Zhao Xin'er's hair and said.
The palace maids and eunuchs here were all sent out by Zhao Xin'er, otherwise, Huang Xiao would not dare to hug the princess, but the two of them did not have anything to overstep.
"When I first heard about it, I was worried about dying, it was a master of 'Taixuanzong', but fortunately you won. "Zhao Xin'er naturally knew how powerful 'Taixuanzong' was, so when he learned that Huang Xiao was fighting with such a master, he was naturally worried.
However, in the end, Huang Xiao defeated her opponent, which surprised her and was proud, because Huang Xiao was her man, and she naturally hoped that her sweetheart would be as powerful as possible. (To be continued......)
