CHAPTER XLVII

"Bai Xiyue, I didn't expect you to transform!" Liu said with a smile from the side.

"Don't make fun of me, the black blade brought out by this treasure pavilion seems to be able to dye clothes..."Bai Xiyue squinted at his clothes, and then said to Liu Cong: "I want to test the power of my black blade." ”

Bai Xiyue took the black blade to his waist, and then pulled it out, and saw a black blade flying out in a circle, and the black blade was like throwing out a boomerang sword qi.

Wang Haoyue raised her sword and slashed, this boomerang-like black sword qi didn't seem to be so easy to block, and with a bang, although it was bounced out, Wang Haoyue was also shocked to take a few steps back.

Another black-edged sword qi struck, this time Wang Haoyue learned smartly, and did not hit it hard, one dodged away, and then jumped into the air, with the help of the beam, one catapulted next to several people, and saw a half-moon-shaped white light rise, if the white sunrise slowly rises from the ground.

At this moment, Liu Cong thrust the two blades into the ground, pushed the two palms forward, and injected qi into the two blades at the same time, the two swords were like a barrier to block the sword qi, and Bai Xiyue got carried away and wanted to fight against the force to win this sword qi, but the strength was not good, the black blade came out of his hand, flew into the air, and fell to the ground, and then plunged straight into the ground, and Bai Xiyue also fell to the ground, and the black clothes on his body turned back to white.

"You're the only one left, little brother!" Wang Haoyue shook her wet hair and looked straight at Liu Cong.

Liu pulled out the second blade at this moment, and didn't dare to slack off and look at Wang Haoyue, thinking in his heart that this might be an accident on the prophecy paper, even if he died in battle today, he couldn't abandon Fan Shijin and Xiong Jing.

Just when the two were confronting each other, Peng Bu had arrived at the door at some point, reached out and knocked on the tattered wooden door, and then said: "General Wang, you killed these people, isn't my Peng invincible?"

"Envoy Peng, these people want to break into General Ben's room in a vain attempt to peep at General Ben's bath!" Wang Haoyue didn't want to recall this scene, so she blushed when she remembered it, and then became angry.

"You sent someone to hunt down and kill us first, and we waited until we got here by mistake, and now you want to find a reason to kill someone?" Xiong Jingchong spoke.

"Full of nonsense, how can there be such a coincidence in this world, the people I sent happened to send you into my room to peek at me taking a bath?" Wang Haoyue said angrily.

"Envoy Peng, we are really being hunted down and killed here, I don't believe you look at the corpse outside the door, are we bringing a group of people to peek at General Wang taking a bath?" Fan Shijin pointed to the swordsmen outside the door.

"Maybe it's just that you think General Ben is embarrassed enough!" Wang Haoyue still said unrelentingly.

"General Wang, the carriage in the Southern Tang Palace is here, we can't kill the envoy in other people's territory, right?" Peng Bu put his hands behind his back, and stretched out his hand to beckon Liu Cong and the others to come out.

Liu Cong and others hurriedly went out of Wang Haoyue's guest room, and helped Bai Xiyue who was lying on the ground to help him up, Bai Xiyue woke up like a dream, and didn't care about the injuries on his body, looked around, found his sword, took it back, and then withdrew from the room with a few people.

"Thank you, Envoy Peng, for lifting the siege!" Fan Shijin thanked him with both hands.

"The old man appreciates the talent of Fan Envoy, if Fan Envoy can be an official in the same dynasty as the old man, it would be great!" Peng Bu patted Fan Shijin on the shoulder and sighed.

"Envoy Peng is looking down, I'll wait for the court to meet again, and the court will meet again!"

Fan Shijin stepped back as he spoke, and then turned around and walked out of the Vermilion Bird Tower with Liu Cong and the others.

"Brother Fan, hurry up, it will be bad for Wang Haoyue to regret it in a while!" Liu Cong grabbed Fan Shijin, who was still looking back, grabbed his arm and walked out.

Wang Haoyue was furious and had no way to vent, so she picked up her arm and threw the sword in her hand, the sword was like an arrow from the string, straight into the door beam, the force didn't seem to have completely offset, and it was still dangling on it.

"Xiao Cui, close the door, change my clothes!" Wang Haoyue didn't look at Peng Bu's expression, and directly asked Xiao Cui to give an eviction order.

Seeing this, Xiaocui got up and closed the tattered wooden door, seeing that she couldn't block the outside, and then ran to the study and dragged over a screen, which was horizontal in the direction of the door, just enough to block it completely, so she was relieved, clapped her hands and ran towards the place where Wang Haoyue bathed and changed.

Outside the door, Peng Bu shook his head, and walked away with interest, before leaving, he didn't forget to look at the corpse, it didn't look like a person from the Jin Kingdom, and it was unlikely that the envoy of the Chu State would bring such assassins into the city, and a large number of assassins suddenly appeared in this royal city, so there was only one possibility, Peng Bu stroked his beard and pondered, he smiled as if he thought of the result, and then walked out of the Vermilion Bird Tower.

"In front of Brother Fan is the carriage of the people in this palace!" Liu Cong walked out of the door of the embassy and saw several carriages waiting outside the embassy.

"Let's go, I'll wait to get in the car and get to the last round of negotiations, and who will die will be revealed tonight. ”

Fan Shijin and his entourage, supported by the coachman, entered the carriage.

The Taichu Palace of the Southern Tang Dynasty, to the east and north, is the camp of the royal garden and the palace guards, called "Yuancheng", which can accommodate more than 3,000 children of the nobility to ride horses in it at the same time.

In the royal garden, you can see another pavilion in the middle of the purple and red flowers, in which hot tea is brewed, and flowing water flows under the pavilion. The Empress Dowager of the Southern Tang Dynasty sat here, this time there is no longer a bead curtain to cover, this face has been seen really, even in the purple and red flowers, it does not look overshadowed, but competes with it, the golden hair ornament of a hundred birds and phoenixes on the head, the red gem as its embellishment, grace and luxury is the most appropriate adjective.

The two palace maids next to him are waiting, the palace maids are only twenty years old, and if you look at the queen mother, maybe the queen mother is only thirty years old, and she looks very young.

I saw a man from afar, and the man seemed to have stopped and watched from a distance for a long time, as if to confirm whether the queen mother was a living creature, and after reaching a conclusion, he rushed over with interest.

"Mu Rong..."Li Jiaotai said with affection as he walked.

[Zhong Murong] glanced at him, retracted his gaze and continued to drink tea with empty eyes.

"You two go down!" Li Jiaotai walked to the pavilion and let the two maids go down.

"Who let you go down?" Empress Dowager Zhong didn't turn her head, and her words were as if she had cast a fixation spell on the two maids, and the maids retreated outside the pavilion and stood still.

Empress Dowager Zhong still didn't mean to turn her face to Li Jiaotai, and then she spoke again: "What do you mean by the general's coming here? This is about to entertain the envoys of various countries, why don't you go down and prepare?"

"Of course, I came here to invite the Queen Mother over, and by the way, I talked to the Queen Mother about the decision of the previous court affairs. Li Jiaotai was not polite to the Empress Dowager Zhong, he sat on the stone bench by himself, sat opposite the Empress Dowager, poured a cup of tea, took a sip and looked at the Empress Dowager with a smile.

"The general can talk about it at the banquet after a while, so why come here to say it?" The dignified Empress Dowager Zhong gave people a feeling that she couldn't get close, and although she sat opposite, she seemed to be talking across a chasm.

"Don't be arrogant with me! If you don't have me, how can you orphans and widows stand!"

Li Jiaotai was completely enraged by the Queen Mother's words and deeds, and before he could finish drinking the water in the teacup, he smashed it on the ground, stepped forward and hugged the Queen Mother. When the maid outside the pavilion saw this scene, she turned her back and went over, wanting to go far but not daring.

Empress Dowager Zhong struggled when she was hugged by this, but this strength was not Li Jiaotai's opponent at all, so she could only let this person hold her in her arms, staring at this Li Jiaotai with a disgraced face. Li Jiaotai was instantly happy by this star, he laughed a few times, and then made a gesture to kiss down, this queen mother could not let Li Jiaotai humiliate herself like this, although her strength could not compare to him, but she still stretched out her hands against this Li Jiaotai's face, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't kiss.

"Report!" the general has an urgent report!" shouted a soldier from afar.

Originally, the two of them were about to get married, but as soon as this little pawn came, Li Jiaotai lost interest, stepped forward and raised his hand to fight, and said while beating: "Report your head, report your head!

"General, don't fight! General, the news from the embassy ......" The pawn covered his head with his hand, and then explained the reason.

Li Jiaotai gasped and didn't fight any more, his hands crossed his hips and stopped, and the pawn hurriedly put it to his ear and said, "This assassination failed... The envoys of Shu are already outside the palace gate..."

When the pawn had finished speaking, he stepped back, and as he retreated, he tripped over a stone, and after stumbling, he did not get up, and crawled out of the royal garden.

Mu Rong ...... Fang Cai was out of shape with General Ben, and he didn't hold back for a while, hoping that the Queen Mother wouldn't bother with General Ben. Li Jiaotai's attitude changed one hundred and eighty degrees, holding the hand of the Queen Mother with one hand, and patting the hand on the hand of the Queen Mother with the other.

"The general has something to say. Empress Dowager Zhong tidied up her clothes and moved the ornaments on her head.

"The Queen Mother was indecisive, so I made the decision for the Queen Mother, and wanted to kill the envoys of the Shu Kingdom, in order to express that I wanted to make friends with Jin and Chu, but this Shu envoy did have the ability to escape..."

Empress Dowager Zhong looked at the broken tea cup on the ground, which was broken by Li Jiaotai just now, at this time people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, this matter has long been out of the jurisdiction of the Empress Dowager of the Southern Tang Dynasty and the king, and the full power has fallen into the hands of this Li Jiaotai, but the two of them have their own fears, and they can't move each other, Li Jiaotai holds heavy troops, and he is also the responsibility of the former king's auxiliary government and orphan, and the status is naturally unshakable;

"Just listen to what the general says, and hope that the general will keep his promise. Empress Dowager Zhong thought about it and came to a conclusion.

"I swore to do my best to assist the Tang King and protect my Southern Tang Dynasty! If this oath is violated, people and gods will be angry, and their heads will be different. After listening to the Queen Mother's words, Li Jiaotai raised three fingers and swore an oath.
