Chapter 48

"Brother Fan, is it decided to live and die tonight?" When Liu Cong asked these words, the long sword in his hand tightened a little tighter, he knew that this negotiation decided not only his own life and death, but also the survival of Shu.

"Yes, since I came here as an envoy, I didn't think about what would happen after the defeat. Fan Shijin raised his eyes and looked at the palace gate, the huge vermilion lacquer gate, whether this step into the palace was life or death, there is no way to know.

"I can't help you tonight! I finally know what the prophecy on this prophecy paper is, that is, I, Bai Xiyue, am seriously injured, and I can't protect you, so you ......" Bai Xiyue was there alone, but there was no audience to watch him, and he looked like a madman.

"I don't know where Wen Renxing is at this time, I have been paying attention all the way back to the White Tiger Guest Room before, but I haven't seen Wen Renxing. Xiong Jingchong is very aware of the importance of Wen Renxing, how many twists and turns have come along the way, and Wen Renxing is brave and strategic, and has led them many times to save the day, although a few people are not very smart people, the ancients, three stinkers top one Zhuge Liang, not to mention that there are five of them.

Liu Cong and the others stopped the carriage at the palace gate, and the soldiers guarding the palace gate told them that it was not dinner time at this time, and the envoys needed to wait patiently here, so the group had to stand aimlessly in front of the palace gate.

From time to time, a cool breeze blows out of this palace gate, and a few people standing at the wind outlet unconsciously pull their clothes to wrap their clothes tighter, so as not to let the wind jump into their bodies.

Just when a few people dodged the wind and walked to the corner, a carriage drove outside the palace gate, Liu Cong and others gathered to look at the carriage, and a person in an official uniform came down from the half-ring carriage, leaning out of a face wrapped in a white beard, and the appearance was radiant, which was very incompatible with the depressed and cold palace gate, and it seemed incompatible, this person was Wei Xuancheng.

After getting out of the car, Wei Xuancheng said something to the guard, and walked over to Liu Cong and the others, waving his hand as he walked, and said, "Why don't the Shu envoys go inside and find a warm place to shelter from the wind?"

"I've seen Prime Minister Wei!" everyone bent down and said.

"Prime Minister Wei, the soldier asked me to wait here..."

Fan Shijin wanted to tell the reason, but halfway through the words, Wei Xuancheng's hand stretched out, and Lehehe's face was also pasted, and as soon as he got close to Lehehe's expression, he disappeared without a trace, and after putting away the folds at the corners of his eyes, Wei Xuancheng slowly opened his mouth and said: "It was the old man who asked the soldier to say this! At this moment, you will take the old man's car to leave here, and the Jianye City Gate will not stop the old man's car, and then you will take the ferry boat to leave this place quickly, and the gate in front of you will step back...... You're going to die. ”

"Brother Fan... Let's take the opportunity to slip away!" Bai Xiyue knew that this thing would develop like this, and there was no such good thing as changing one's life against the sky in this world.

Fan Shijin originally looked relaxed, like the picture on the wallpaper faded, full of bitterness, the breeze blew, blowing the two sideburns and broken hair to slap the face, at this moment Fan Shijin was like ten years old, and he didn't see words, at that moment his whole life, as if he was in his mind, flashed like a horse watching the flowers, and finally he walked out of his thoughts, straightened out his temples, and then looked at the palace gate, like a tiger's mouth, the vermilion lacquer gate was like a bloody mouth, the soldiers who did not move were like tiger teeth, and the tiger was crawling on the ground, waiting for the arrival of this group of people.

"Escape, but linger for a long time, enter, although death is still glorious!" Fan Shijin's eyes were rippling with tears, and the tears were beating in his eyes, as if there was an inextinguishable candle flame flickering in his eyes.

"Hahahahahaha! It's worthy of the old man's favorite! But it's a pity to lose your life at such an age, you can think about it later. Wei Xuancheng laughed a few times and walked away.

"Brother Cong, you quickly persuade Brother Fan! This is a dead end! This is a self-defeating road, the road is impassable, why should we jump into this fire pit?" Bai Xiyue became more and more excited the more he spoke, holding Liu Cong and asking him to persuade Fan Shijin.

Liu Cong didn't know what to do at this time, he had never encountered such a situation, his previous life was just striking iron, just laying iron, following his father, listening to his father, that is right, that is good, and who should listen to like this? Liu Cong exposed his wrist from his sleeve, and the knife tattoo on his wrist had become hollow, like a glass of water that had not been filled.

"Brother Cong, how did the pattern on your wrist fade? Is it that the ability can't be used?" Bai Xiyue saw the pattern on Liu Cong's wrist, which was still solid before, but now it was hollow, and a painting was finished, but there was no paint, only a frame remained.

"I shouldn't hide it from everyone, this pattern has been like this since it came out of the dust shelter, but it's much better than it was a while ago, and the color inside is going up a little bit. Liu Cong looked at the pattern in his hand, and it was indeed a little, as if the water cup was poured and only a small cup was poured.

"What about Brother Xiong, what do you think?" Bai Xiyue laughed dryly, and then asked Xiong Jing.

"Don't look at me, I can't go, if I leave, my Shu Kingdom will be destroyed, and as soon as the Shu Kingdom is destroyed, I will be the shame of the Xiong family, I would rather die alone, but also fight for a glimmer of life!"

"Hahaha! I'm crazy! I want to die! I don't want to accompany me, if I can accompany here, I'll give face to Baixiyue, and I'm going to say goodbye!"

Bai Xiyue walked without looking back, with the direction of the wind blowing at the palace gate, as if pushed by the wind, soon disappeared in the sight of several people, blended into the crowd and could no longer see where to go, walked into the crowd Bai Xiyue's tears were left, the tears that had been suppressed for a long time could not stop flowing downward, this time he abandoned the friends he rarely acquainted, abandoned the same door as a confidant, he covered his face and wanted to block the direction of the tears collapsing, but the emotions could not be stopped at that moment, standing on the street where people came and went, he cried loudly, crying and running forward, I don't know how to curb this grief, I can only keep running, I have been a coward for so many years, I'm not afraid of this time, I think so in my heart, this time I didn't go so peacefully, but my strength was not good, even if I was there, I couldn't help anything.

Two of the people in the crowd looked in the direction where Bai Xiyue ran away, and the tall man pressed the other's head with one hand and teased: "Isn't that one of your friends?

"Everyone has his own ambitions, and he has his own troubles. Wen Renxing held the reins in one hand and waved the horsewhip in the other, looking thoughtfully ahead, the oncoming wind was even more violent.

"Senior brother, you might as well come with me this time, let's finish delivering this batch of goods and find a * or something in Jianye City, isn't it good?" Deng Zai rubbed his face and looked around looking for a place similar to *.

"It's good for you to go alone, I won't abandon anyone. Wen Renxing didn't bother to look at him, still thinking about something.

Deng Zai didn't say anything more, and the two of them drove the carriage towards the palace.

Wen Renxing and Deng Zai soon arrived outside the palace gate, Liu Cong and the others, who were still outside the palace gate, had long since disappeared, and the gatekeeper stopped the two people who were guarding the goods, and then began to search the entire carriage.

"This is a gift from my Jin Kingdom to Nantang, I have already entered a car before, this is the second car!"

Wen Renxing on the front foot had just arrived, and Peng Bu on the back foot also arrived at the gate of the palace, got off the carriage, walked over with a smile, and after explaining to the soldiers, he beckoned Wen Renxing and Deng Zai to send this gift into the palace.

"Today, my Tang King held a banquet to entertain the envoys of various countries, and your subordinates also ate it. The soldier gave way and did not forget to add.

"Really, that's a blessing!" Deng Zai grinned, twitched his horsewhip and walked forward, as if the goods were transported, he could easily come down, and then what was waiting for him was wine and food, thinking of these Deng Zai stretched out his tongue and licked his upper lips.

"Today, there is a banquet in the palace, and there are many more people coming and going. ”

When Wen Renxing and Deng Zai entered the palace gate, they found that the palace was very lively today, and the eunuchs and palace maids were in a hurry, and it seemed that it was indeed a big banquet for entertaining VIPs.

There is a garden city in the Taichu Palace, and in the north of the garden city, there is a garden warehouse, also known as the warehouse city, which stores a large amount of grain and other materials, and gifts from various countries will also be placed here.

After entering the gate of this palace, there were special eunuchs to lead the way in front of them, and they walked in front with small steps.

"This officer, may I ask if your dinner has already begun?" Wen Renxing asked the eunuch who led the way in front of him.

"The envoys of all countries should have taken their seats, and in a short time this dinner will officially begin, and then the meeting will be busy. The official looked back, and then said.

At this time, the sky was already dark, but the lights in the palace gate were bright, and the palace seemed to be daytime, and you would not know that the sky was so dark without leaving the palace gate.

The internal official pointed to a side hall in the Taichu Palace, the hall was brilliantly lit, flowing light and shadow, full of color, dozens of palace maids and eunuchs went in and out here, and that place was the place for tonight's banquet.

Liu Cong and others sat on the ground and sat in this hall, although they were sitting on the floor, but because of the cushions, it seemed to be a little more comfortable than the chairs, and several people in the audience sat opposite each other, and there was a case in front of them, on which there were one or two dishes of side dishes, a pot of wine, a wine glass, a bowl, and a chopsticks. And on top of this hall sat Tang Wang, Xiao Tang Wang sat on the dragon chair, and couldn't sit still, sometimes shaking his legs, sometimes sitting upright, fiddling with the things on the side, and then put down and looked at the people in front of him, the hands seemed to be unable to place.

The envoys and other officials in the audience have been sitting for a long time, and those who are close to each other have begun to chat with each other, and those who are far away and know each other have been drinking and talking, and they have exchanged glasses in the air.

"The Queen Mother has arrived!"

The eunuch shouted outside the door.

I saw a person walking out of the picture of a graceful and luxurious beauty, dignified and solemn, raising his eyes like the wind blowing flowers, and his delicate red lips were very touching, and everyone who had already sat down was stunned by the scene in front of them, and was stunned there, looking at the unreachable Queen Mother in front of them in a demented manner.
