When he was in front of him, a handsome Western Xia warrior rode his horse and shouted, "Who are you?"
Zhan Zhao took out a identity plate and said: "Three-edged blade guard, Zhan Zhao and Fourth Constable Long Fei, have come under the orders of the Emperor to receive the Western Xia envoy."
The Western Xia martial artist looked at the token and cupped his fists. "I'll have to trouble the two of you. The princess is in the carriage. Please follow me."
F * ck, don't tell me that I was right in sending a princess over for a marriage alliance?
The curtain of the carriage was slightly lifted, and a few people could be faintly seen inside. A voice that sounded like a oriole could be heard said, "Thank you for coming. Thank you very much."
Zhan Zhao glared at me in dissatisfaction, and I hurriedly withdrew my saliva. Zhan Zhao cupped his fists and said, "Princess, it has been hard on you. The emperor has already prepared a feast to welcome you."
"Mm, got it. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." This princess is a little cold.
Zhan Zhao and I will lead the way, it's so boring, Zhan Zhao's cat face is cold, no one knows what he is thinking. He suddenly had the urge to tease him in his heart, so he took out his five bow and tested its quality, playing a song < < Phoenix Cry Phoenix > >, while looking at Zhan Zhao with extreme love. The face of the cat behind me was getting darker and darker … Darker and darker... Haha! How great!
I played some other tunes, and when I reached the city, I found myself in the presence of the court ladies and eunuchs who had come to greet me. However, he still had to go to the palace at night. To accompany was naturally to accompany eating, drinking, and others. Chat.
When night came, the emperor also invited Zhan Zhao and I to sit, but we sat under the emperor. It was obviously a favor banquet, but secretly we used it as a shield. There were three Western Xia emissaries, one of them was a princess wearing a veil, and she looked like a beauty. On her right was an old man of about sixty years of age. His beard and hair were completely white, and his phoenix-like eyes shone with a brilliant light. His expression was arrogant, and he was definitely not an ordinary person. He looked just like an old fox. On the left was the young warrior who had fought with us. Although he was unarmed, he did not lose a bit of his domineering aura
The feast began with a grand talk and a feast and a drink, but the pleasing songs and dances were good, and I poured myself a drink. I only ate a little, and the snacks were good, and I ate a few more. Zhan Zhao would glance at me from time to time, as if warning me, "Drink less." I provocatively raised my glass to him and continued to drink. Very quickly, I got a little tipsy.
"Princess, the reason for your visit is to find a husband that you like. I wonder if you have such a talented young man?" The old fox from outside spoke up.
The emperor laughed, "My humble servant, Zhan Zhao, is a genius born in Guard Zhan, and we pay our respects to three …"
Your majesty, I came from afar, but I also know that you were the one who took a wife. What's more, Zhan Zhao is only a small guard, how could he be worthy of a princess with golden branches and jade leaves? " This old fox dares to interrupt the emperor's words. It seems that he doesn't place us in his eyes at all. He shouldn't have hurt Zhan Zhao. Although I hate him for some reason, he is still my idol for more than 20 years and cannot be insulted. He started to think about how to suppress their arrogance. However, a question kept popping up in his head: "Is Zhan Zhao married?" "Who?
The emperor's expression was awkward, but he still maintained his poise and said, "I wonder if there are any candidates within the princess' heart?" Why didn't he mention the nephews?
The princess' body moved slightly, and her pleasant voice sounded out, "Hong Luo is here to conclude the alliance as the leader. As for Prince Consort, it's a small matter, but it's also not something you should be able to accomplish. The Third Prince of Liao Guang Country is as handsome as Pan An, but he hasn't been able to move my heart, and I wonder if anyone in your country can win against the Third Prince?" F * ck, clearly saying that there is no one in our country.
I stood up and slightly swayed my body. I bowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, please allow this subject to say a few words."
The emperor stroked his beard and smiled. "Permission granted."
I drank the wine in my cup and smiled to the princess. "I wonder what kind of man is the true candidate to be the Prince Consort in the eyes of the princess?"
The Princess's eyes were wide open as she looked straight at me and said, "Ke'an Prefecture is a country where martial arts can be settled. People are like jade and enter the hot springs."
I said smilingly, "The princess only has one person in our Song Dynasty, and that person is our Lord Ten Thousand Years Old Master. So the princess is here to be the imperial concubine."
The Emperor, who was sitting on the Dragon Throne, was stunned for a moment, but he smiled without saying a word. If I flattered him, he wouldn't be able to say anything, but the concubines on both sides of him nearly hacked me into a thousand pieces with their gazes.
"No, before I left, I had already vowed not to be a concubine. Furthermore, I heard that the Emperor doesn't know martial arts, is that true? " Damn, was she going to be an empress? This is not your place.
The Emperor's face darkened slightly. I unhurriedly replied, "That's right. However, I am not referring to martial arts when I say 'Martial Awareness'. Even the most powerful fighter in the world can't defeat thousands of men and horses. What I'm talking about is a martial art from the Tao, and a good commander doesn't have to go into battle personally. May I know if the princess agrees with my words? "
"…" The princess was speechless, the old fox's eyes flashed as he said: "I heard that the Master Zhan has excellent sword techniques, I wonder if it is possible for you to practice martial arts to increase your mood?" He is very smart, and does not want to get entangled on this topic, but if he wants to pull Zhan Zhao into the water, I am not going to do it.
I cupped my fist towards the Emperor and said, "Your majesty, please allow this subject to play the zither for Guard Zhan to cheer you up." Little Cat, it's not that I'm stopping you from showing off, it's that this old fox isn't easy to deal with.
The Emperor smiled and replied, "Yes." Damn, can you only say that single word?
The eunuch brought a zither over, but I waved my hand and brought out my pentagonal bow, placing it on top of my palm. Zhan Zhao listened for a while before bringing his sword up to the center of the stage, and saw that he was dressed in red official's attire, with a treasured yellow tasseled sword in his hand. His eyebrows were like swords, and his eyes were like stars. He was refined and handsome with an extraordinary temperament. However, my entire body was covered in a layer of frost. I sneaked a glance at him and found that he was smiling warmly at me. This smile was like the gentle caress of spring wind. It was cozy and breathtaking … When I saw his jade-like face, I became infatuated again. I couldn't help but sing along with the rhythm …
Good Loyalty to the Nation
Smoke rising up the river and mountains to the north
A dragon rises, a horse roars, a Sword Qi is like frost
Heart like Yellow River
Who can resist in twenty years?!
Where the long knife of hatred goes
How many hands, feet, feet, and souls are buried in other places
Why do you need to pay with your life?
Stop lamenting, but be speechless. Tears and blood filled my eyes …
Horseshoe Nan went to the north
The grass and the yellow dust fly in the north
I am willing to defend the land and reopen the land
The majestic Song Kingdom wanted to let the four sides take over
Leghorn
The vigorous singing, coupled with Zhan Zhao's swift and decisive move, made everyone in the great hall dumbstruck, including those three creatures with ill intentions. When the song was finished, Zhan Zhao cupped his fists and said: "This subject, has made a fool of himself." With that, he returned to his seat.
"Alright." The emperor was the first to applaud and cheer, his face full of pride.
Suddenly, they were shot from the eunuchs' group. A crossbow arrow came out, fast and sharp like a hot knife through butter. Zhan Zhao was shocked, he could not even get up in time to save his. When I saw what was happening, I immediately jumped in front of the emperor and used my five bow arrows. When the arrow and the crossbow clashed, a loud explosion was heard. The eunuchs who had been gathered together suddenly parted to either side, revealing a young eunuch with a short crossbow in his hand. With a flash of red, Zhan Zhao caught the young eunuch and killed him with black blood from his mouth.
The banquet was a bit awkward. This is a case without a lead. How are we going to investigate it?" No matter what, he had already lost someone in front of the envoy. The emperor's complexion was comparable to that of Old Bao. He coughed dryly and said, "Your majesty, this subject can paint. How about I draw a flying dragon in the sky?
