"Who is this girl? Could it be that she is the sweetheart brought by Ming Kong who finally opened her eyes?" As soon as Yun Luoxue said this, the son of Southern Prince Yun Huaisu reacted the most. He broke away from Yun Luoxue's arms and ran back to Ming. Beside Koon, tightly clutching the corner of Ming Koon's clothes, staring at Yun Luoxue angrily: "Brother Ming belongs to Su'er!"

"Then this is..."

Zan Qi clasped his fists in both hands and bowed: "I am Zan Qi, a native of Yue, who came here to ask His Highness Nan Wang on behalf of the court of Yue."

"Oh? People from Yue country? Come to find Ling? This is really rare, don't stand here, let's go home first. When we go back and settle down, we can talk about things slowly." Yun Luoxue approached, I looked Zanqi up and down for a while, "Are all the girls in Yue country dressed like you? This should be a samurai uniform, and this hairstyle is similar to that of a man?"

When Zan Qi arrived, she was wearing her most convenient set of black moiré robes, which was the one she wore when she first arrived in the holy capital, except that the black and white Tai Chi belt was replaced, and her weapon whisk became The soft things were tucked inside the new belt, her hair was tied into a high ponytail, and her forehead was tied with a black forehead, which made her peach eyes shine like obsidian even more.This kind of attire is not conspicuous in the south, but now that Yun Luoxue mentions it, it really feels a little strange.The girls on the road here are all fluttering in colorful robes, delicate and soft, completely different from her hairpin.

She lowered her head in embarrassment, but Yun Luoxue suddenly said thoughtfully: "I seem to have seen your eyes somewhere before."

Zan Qi looked at him in surprise, he chuckled and shook his head: "It's nothing, let's go."

Entering Sifang City, Zan Qiguang was dazzled by the shops and passers-by coming and going.Yun Huaisu mercilessly despised her appearance of being extremely curious about everything, but both Ming Hong and Yun Luoxue felt that this Zan Qi looked like a child, with an incomparable innocence, especially Ming Cong, thinking of her nonsensical behavior before, couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.

"Ming Cong, what kind of person is she that can make your doctor Ming laugh?" Yun Luoxue teased.Ming Hong shook her head: "Don't bully me, Su'er looks more stable than this seventh girl, but looking at her makes people feel relaxed. She was originally a child left by Tu Yun in the Youren clan , went to Yue country, and there is also a woman I like, and she came here for that person."

"Girl?!" Yun Luoxue was a little unimaginable, such a girl would like someone who is also a girl, and the other party is probably an older and powerful character, so this is the only way to control such a child-like girl.

"Well, it is said that he is her little apprentice, who is under 15 years old." Ming Hong added, ruthlessly overturning Yun Luoxue's conjecture.

"Father, help Su'er hold the candied haws. Zan Qi won't leave at the sweet-scented osmanthus cake. I'll buy some for her." run there.

Presumably because he bought Tuyun's sweet-scented osmanthus cake, Zanqi hugged the small paper bag in his arms, and suddenly showed a satisfied smile, and his peach eyes were immediately filled with starlight, with endless tenderness.

"despair--"

"Luoxue?" Ming Kong glanced at the candied haws on the ground in surprise, and then looked up at Luoxue's face, only to find that he was completely frozen in place, as if he had seen something unbelievable.

Hearing Ming Kong calling him, Luoxue turned her head stiffly: "She... I remembered, her eyes are exactly the same as Su Zhi's eyes, exactly the same."

"Su Zhi?! By the way, the Su family once lost a girl. Zan Qi said that she was ranked seventh because of the word Zan in her name. Could it be..."

"It's her, it's Su Zan. I found it." Luoxue looked into those eyes from a distance. Su Zhi said before his death that he would become so unscrupulous because he failed to protect his little sister, uncle. The family has also spent so many years looking for it. If they can recognize each other, the uncle and uncle will be very happy.

Ming Hong saw what he was thinking, and said softly: "But Zanqi already has her own world, even if they recognize each other, they will part soon."

"It's not something we can decide. Anyway..."

"Ah! Father! My candied haws!!!" The little devil's voice sounded sharply nearby. You buy one."

"two!"

"Ok, two, two."

Zan Qi tasted the freshly baked osmanthus cake here, and it sure tasted different from Yue country, and each had its own flavor, thinking of bringing some to Jiujiu when he went back.But I don't know what's going on, I always feel that for a while, the expressions of Master National Teacher and Master Medical Sage looking at me have changed subtly.Could it be that I did something wrong?

She frightened and followed them all the way to the guest house of Nanwang Palace. After hearing Yun Luoxue say that she would be able to see Nanwang during dinner, she finally felt relieved.

In the inner courtyard of the South Palace, a young man in white clothes and white hair rushed in cheerfully, and hugged the beautiful man who was sitting at the desk writing official documents: "Ling Lingling, I found it, I found my little cousin."

The man broke the octopus off his body helplessly, but with a gentle smile on his face: "Little cousin? What are you talking about? Which little cousin?"

Luoxue squeezed beside him and sat down: "Listen to me, that's what happened..." He described the process of meeting Zanqi in detail before concluding, "It must be Cousin Zanqi. You think we should tell Uncle, do they know? They should really want to see their daughter."

"Does Miss Zan Qi know about this?" Yun Lingxue put down her pen, "After all, she didn't grow up in Tuyun, and she doesn't know what kind of temperament she is, and she is inextricably related to the Youren Clan. What if she I don't want to lose you, Luoxue, I don't want to lose you again."

Luoxue knew that her lover still cared about the persecution of Su Zhi by Su Zan's elder brother Su Zhi back then, so she sighed softly and held Ling Xue's hand: "Zan Qi is not a bad person, Su Zhi was also obsessed with it back then. It’s only when you lose your eyes that you become like that. When you see that girl, you must feel the same way, she is a very warm girl.”

"I see, let's meet her. Come here and give orders. Today, we will hold a banquet in the hall for the envoy of the Yue Kingdom, Zan Qi. Then we will prepare a simple family banquet in the backyard."

After the shadow waiter left, Luoxue smiled and rubbed Lingxue's hair: "That's right." Lingxue gave him a blank stare helplessly, but couldn't hide the smile on her lips.

In the evening, under the guidance of the maid, Zan Qi went to the majestic hall alone to meet the King of the South. Under the watchful eyes of Tu Yun's courtiers, she seemed a little alone.She changed into the women's costume prepared by Luoxue and dressed up a bit, but she lowered her head nervously, always worried that she would step on the corner of the skirt and fall.

Sitting in the middle seat, Ling Xue watched the slightly slender girl go down the steps under pressure, knelt down on one knee in the etiquette of the Yue Kingdom, bowed her head and said: "The messenger hairpin of the Yue Kingdom represents the sage king of the Yue Kingdom and the seven families. , see His Highness Nanwang."

"You are the hairpin seven? Look up and let me see."

Zan Qi was stunned for a moment, but slowly raised his head.The childish face that has disappeared does not look very prominent, but there is a simple and straightforward expression of tension in those eyes.Ling Xue sighed softly, and smiled: "Miss Zan Qi, please stand up and take your seat. I don't know why His Majesty the Holy King specially sent an envoy here?"

Just as Zan Qi stood up, he knelt down again: "Zan Qi is responsible for the rise and fall of the Yue Kingdom on this trip, and the envoy of our country originally had Patriarch Xun Lan, but Patriarch Xun Lan was trapped in the Youren Clan, and I came alone, so I have little knowledge , or not be able to convey the original good things. Zanqi’s trip is to ask for troops from His Royal Highness Nanwang to save the country of Yue from fire and water.”

On the way, Zan Qi didn't say the purpose of coming here, and only now did he ask for military assistance, and everyone in Tuyun was a little silent.

"The Yue Kingdom has never been born in the world, but I heard that life is stable and prosperous, and it has always been free from foreign enemies. How can it need reinforcements?"

"Because... because Yue has no soldiers."

"How is this possible?! A country without soldiers, how can it be safe and sound for hundreds of years? Although the land of Yue is not as big as Tuyun and Bei, it should not be underestimated. If something happened, it would have happened long ago. How could it suddenly ..." one of Tuyun's ministers questioned.

Zanqi was a little at a loss. Are these royal families of Tuyun really reliable?If they were told that the Yue Kingdom used blood sacrifices to hide from the world, would they want a piece of the pie like the people in Nanchu?

However, apart from asking Tuyun for help, the Yue Kingdom had no other way to ease the tense situation.

After thinking about it, she opened her mouth deeply: "Actually, Yue's production is not very rich. Even if it lives in peace for a hundred years, it is far less rich than a big country like Tuyun. The people are fishing, woodworking and farming all year round, and they only need to ensure food and clothing, and have a little surplus. There is no surplus at all. ability training."

"There are no soldiers, how has this been going on..."

"The country of Yue has always used blood sacrifices to keep the country of wolves out... However, the practice of hiding the people in the country with the lives of innocent people, ignoring foreign affairs, and ignoring dangers, has suffered There is opposition from the new Patriarch. Now several new Patriarchs intend to break the deadlock, no longer use ancient and cruel rituals, but use normal methods to protect the country."

She briefly explained the matter of the blood sacrifice, and looking at the people in Tuyun who were stunned by the unimaginable, Zan Qi continued: "The incident happened suddenly, and the Yue Kingdom had no time to organize an army to resist the invasion of Southern Chu and other places. Moreover, You The human race is also a potential threat to the Yue Kingdom."

"Where did you start? Youren Kingdom specializes in the research of medicine and poison, and would not do such a thing." Ling Xue asked a little puzzled.

Zanqi gritted his teeth: "Eight years ago, someone in Tuyun killed Elder Gu of the Youren Clan. Gu Gan, the grandson of Elder Gu, is also my master Gu Gan, who was determined to avenge his grandfather, but the Youren Clan and Tuyun had already become allies. To prevent him from taking revenge, he vented his resentment on the Bai family. The wife of the old Patriarch of the Yue family in Yueguo is the second daughter of the Bai family. Because of this incident, she and her children were hunted down. To this day, Gu Master Gan didn't give up either, if this incident happened this time, he would definitely take advantage of the fire and even try to instigate the entire Youren tribe to do unrighteous things."

Ling Xue was silent, the person who killed Elder Gu was none other than his eldest cousin Su Zhi, also Zan Qi's own brother.Reincarnation of cause and effect, although I don't know why Zanqi, as Gu Gan's apprentice, came to help the people of Yue to ask for help, but the way things have developed to the present has something to do with the Youren tribe and even Tuyun.

"...Whether to help or not depends entirely on His Highness's will." Zan Qi said the pros and cons of sending troops to help Xun Lan taught her the diplomatic speech, Tu Yun, and then concluded.Even though she finished what she wanted to say, she felt uneasy.If this trip doesn't work... all the hard work Jiujiu has done will be in vain. If she has to compromise and go back to the old way, she will lose Jiujiu in another 20 years.

Ling Xue could tell that Zan Qi had made the best effort to put all her eggs in one basket.

He looked at the hairpin for a long time before suddenly asking: "What is the relationship between you and the person who proposed to abolish the old law?"

Zan Qi looked up in astonishment, although he didn't understand his motive for asking this question, he had no choice but to answer: "She is the new head of the Yue family in the Qi family, and she is also my wife, Yue Wujiu."

There was an uproar in the hall, and there were many discussions about Zan Qi's shocking answer.The tension in Zanqi's heart suddenly disappeared, and Jiujiu's name was the best booster for her.She thought with some pride, this time even the people in Tuyun knew they were a couple.

The author has something to say:

The Su family, the Nan Wangmu's family.The eldest son Su Zhi once rebelled against the Bai family in Tuyun. Su Zhi secretly learned the skills of the Youren tribe and killed the elder Gu Zhi of the Youren tribe. Su Zhi died later.The seven hairpins are seven daughters.
