"What? Father Emperor sent the Four Emperor Brothers to Rouran to negotiate?"

"Yes, you don't know yet, do you? The fourth prince can speak well, but he is one of the best in our city!"

"Master, Brother Four Emperors, he seems to be weak and weak, and at most he is sharp-toothed...... Wouldn't his father send him to the mouth of a tiger?"

"Qing'er, this is a bad word. The Fourth Emperor Brother in your impression was just a little guy who didn't have any hair at that time, but now he ...... Suave and elegant, with an extraordinary temperament. ”

"Uh, that...... That's what the master said. I haven't been back for a long time, so naturally I don't know how the royal brothers are doing now. Hearing Pingyuan's words, I touched the back of my head and laughed dryly.

"But it counts...... At this time, your Fourth Emperor Brother must be preparing to go to Rourou, right?"

At night, the cool breeze on the mountain was blowing, and a few insects were heard from time to time in the valley, and the master and I sat in the courtyard surrounded by a bamboo fence to drink tea and chat. Looking up at the starry sky, recalling what the master said just now, Rouran felt a little more worried about the Four Emperor Brothers' visit this time.

"Min Xing, my father still said that...... Be careful on the road and take care of yourself. ”

Before leaving, Emperor Dacheng sent them outside the capital. Looking at the figure of the fourth prince gradually moving away, the fist that had already clenched under the sleeves did not let go for a long time. The emperor's trip went deep into the tiger's den, and he was full of danger. If she is not careful, Rou Ran can take him hostage for any reason to blackmail Dacheng and use it as a bargaining chip. If Rouran really wants to use despicable means, then we can't let their plans succeed. Thinking of this, the emperor turned to look at the crowds of people coming and going in the capital and the soldiers stationed on the city wall, and his expression became more determined.

"Your Highness, we must be fully prepared to deal with them when we go to Rouran this time. ”

"Yes, Rou Ran finally agreed to this meeting, maybe she has other thoughts. ”

"Don't worry, even if Rouran has a bad heart, she insists on keeping me...... Don't forget, we don't know about this visit not only about Dacheng, but also about the countries of the Western Regions, the tribes in the southwest, and the small countries in the south of the East Island. You say, does he dare to be so blatant?"

"Having said that, it's important to be guarded against people...... Your Highness. ”

Along the way, the guards beside the fourth prince Min Hang said to the people sitting in the carriage through the curtain. When the fourth prince heard this, he just smiled slightly, and he didn't seem to take it to heart.

The four princes of the envoy arrived at Rou, and Rouran just began to greet him with courtesy as a guest. During the feast, they pushed their glasses and changed their glasses, and talked about wine and talked about it as if they were their own brothers.

After a few days, Min Hang did not see the messenger of Rouran's negotiation in the tent, and the Rouran guards in front of the door also had a few more fresh faces. When asked about them, they only said that they were to protect the safety of the four princes and their party, and there were no more words for the others, and even the daily inspection and change of guard outside the tent had several more waves.

"Your Highness, are we just waiting?"

"I said I would come to negotiate, but it's been a few days, and I still haven't seen them. ”

"Your Highness, they don't want to detain us here, do they?"

"In that case, will you not become a hostage......? No, no, it's too passive. ”

At this time, the two guards beside Min Hang walked around in front of him, like ants on a hot pot, and he wanted to laugh when he saw it.

"What are you two anxious about? Wait, someone will negotiate with us. ”

The four princes who saw these side rings knew that it was impossible to negotiate as soon as possible, and Rouran's real purpose was to put him under house arrest here, and then he might be used as a hostage and blackmailed by Dacheng. Thinking of this, the fourth prince instructed the guards around him to find a way to inform the shadow in private, and the shadow learned the news from the guards and avoided the patrol and changed guards of Rouran, and the soldiers left Rouran overnight.

After that, the four princes tried every means to negotiate with Rouran several times. In the end, Rouran agreed to negotiate with them in a flat place.

The Shadow who had left the Prairie Realm felt the nearest frontier to him, and the city guards saw the Shadow's letter and the prince's jade talisman and ordered his men to follow the Shadow to assist them.

"Your Highness, we will negotiate with them tomorrow. I rested early this morning, so I have the energy to deal with it. ”

"It's a good place for them to choose a flat place...... Hopefully, tomorrow's negotiations will be as good as this place name. ”

"Definitely, our Highness is a lotus. ”

"Okay, so much to talk about before going to bed, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to get up tomorrow morning?" said one of the guards, walking over to the candle flame and gently blowing it out, and the room was pitch black, except for the soft light of the slow night and the hanging sun.

The next day, the wind and the sun were beautiful on the grassland. At this time, the negotiation table was soft and insistent that he did not know the promise made at the full moon banquet that year, and also proposed that according to the khan's wishes, he would only sign the negotiation letter for three years. Seeing that Rouran changed five years to three years, and the four princes also found that the Khan did not have the figure of the envoy who participated in the full moon banquet at the beginning.

"Three years is enough for you Dacheng, this is already my last bottom line. ”

"Lord Khan, it was your messenger who agreed to this in public. The period of five years has been changed to three years, and if other princes hear it, they will say that you are soft and untrustworthy. It's a bad reputation. ”

"The four princes didn't know that the envoy who sent the congratulatory banquet had a recurrence of his old illness on the way back, and he was already unconscious when he arrived at the king's tent, and he returned not long after. We don't know if there is such a commitment. And most of the old departments that followed him after that were not in their original positions. ”

"Then Lord Khan didn't find anyone to find out if there was such a thing at the full moon banquet that year?"

"No one is gone, even if I go to find out how long it has been. The four princes, everyone understands people. This agreement has been negotiated, and we will still be good brothers from now on, if it is not negotiated......" At this point, the Khan pretended to pause. The guard beside the fourth prince slowly stroked the hilt of the sword with one hand, and the atmosphere around him began to become solemn.

"It's not good to talk about...... I'm afraid my brother won't have to do it. ”

As he said this, Khan's eyes looked closely at the four princes sitting across from him.

"Oh, Lord Khan. Since we call ourselves brothers, we are all our own family, so we don't need to be so tense, right?"

Just as Rouran coerced the four princes, many torches suddenly lit up on the hill behind the khan, and when he saw it clearly, the four princes were already standing behind him.

"Lord Khan, what do you think it is?" said the fourth prince, pointing to the torches.

"There are ambush soldiers?!You plot against me?!"

Seeing this, the khan glared angrily and slapped his palm on the table, drew the saber of the steppe warrior next to him, and pointed directly at the façade of the four princes despite the dissuasion of others. Min Xing was not timid, puffed up his chest and stared at him tightly.

"Lord Khan, you have wronged people by saying this. It was you who agreed to ask me to come and negotiate with you, it was you who agreed to choose a flat place, and it was you who asked me to sign a three-year term. ”

"Yes, so what if I did it?"

"You say I'm ambushing you, but it's still your territory, right? It's all your people here, how can you say that I'm plotting against you?"

After hearing this, the khan knew that he had fallen for the trick of the seemingly weak fourth prince in front of him, so he was silent for a while, but he revised the date and signed the original five-year promise.

"Your Highness, that khan will never dare to have any bad ideas about us Dacheng after suffering a dumb loss. ”

"Knocking out your teeth and swallowing them in your stomach is full of blood and tears, and you have to endure no matter how painful it is. I can't imagine that they will also be deflated when they are soft......"

"Yes, they are unkind first, so we can't pretend to be soft persimmons and pinch them, right?"

"Hey, Your Highness is still a step ahead. ”

"Okay, this time I went back to live up to my mission. ”

Looking at the four princes and their entourage who embarked on the return journey, Rouran Khan stood outside the tent at this time with a cold expression.

After a few years, it was almost time to go down the mountain and return to the palace. The letters sent by the palace to Zhiyang Mountain gradually increased, and Pingyuan Gaoren also received a letter from the emperor. After reading it, the master quietly burned it and didn't tell me, and the master used the excuse to postpone the date of her descent from the mountain.
