☆, (15) Senzi grows on purpose - Loyal dog Gong Gentle Shou Junwen War
([-]) The sensory child is deliberately long
The mission to Xiao was delayed for several days because of supplementing the accompanying documents of Tan Yue.Before parting, Yang Bangjie was very reluctant and watched Zheng Yicheng go away. He didn't turn back to the camp until the figures of the group disappeared on the prairie.Both Tan Yue and Zheng Yicheng dressed up as ordinary attendants, followed Liu Shao and his team's convoy on horseback, and saw the scenery of the Northland along the way.
Seeing that everyone was not paying attention, Tan Yue came to Zheng Yicheng's side and said sincerely, "Mr. Zheng, don't blame us for the joke in the tent earlier."
Zheng Yicheng smiled and said, "The general is kind, so why blame him?"
"Mr. Zheng is indeed a sensible person." Tan Yue clasped his fists again and said, "The fate between Mr. and the general is really unexpected. If the escort was offended before, please forgive me."
Zheng Yicheng also clasped his fists in return, "The general is just loyal to his duty, why should you care about it?"
"There are a lot of sirs, it's best not to blame, no wonder the general cares about it." Tan Yue was always worried that Zheng Yicheng would remember what happened at that time because he was escorted by himself. Hearing what he said, the big stone in his heart finally landing.
Zheng Yicheng replied indifferently, "It's hard to say what's on your mind, I'm just accompanying you." With a clamp on his legs, he rode his horse straight and said, "Don't just talk, you're already falling behind the team. "
Tan Yue hurried to catch up, still talking beside Zheng Yicheng, "This is the truth, the young general has been with the general for seven or eight years, and he knows that the general is a lover. Think about it, if he is serious, why should he be afraid of the previous one? He always cares about the relationship between husband and wife, he just can't bear to care about it."
Zheng Yicheng didn't want to talk to him at first, seeing what he said eagerly, he had no choice but to respond casually, "In this way, the general is sincere."
Tan Yue continued, "Of course, sir, I didn't see the general was forced to rest by his wife for a while, he was busy in the army all day long, and he lost a lot of weight. General Zhongwu often came to talk, and it was hard for him to regain his energy. The general didn't cheer up until Mister appeared."
Looking back at that time, Zheng Yicheng, as Tan Yue said, nodded and said, "At that time, I only thought that the general was tired from the army, but I didn't expect there to be so many reasons."
Tan Yue clasped his fists in thanks again and again, "Mr. Lao will take more care in the future."
"I know with sincerity."
The two gossiped all the way, slept with the team, and let Xi Ao's guide look at the stars in the sky to guide the way.After nightfall, Zheng Yicheng couldn't fall asleep no matter what, so he couldn't help but put on a fur coat and go out of the tent to breathe.Just seeing the night is low and the stars are shining, thinking about my own fate, I can't help feeling a lot of emotion.
I didn't want this action, but it alarmed others.Tan Yue slept awake and noticed movement in the tent, so he immediately got up to check.Finding that Zheng Yicheng's figure was getting further and further away, he had no choice but to follow him all the way to the riverside.He saw that Zheng Yicheng found a rock and sat down, took out his flute and played it, he didn't know what kind of music he was playing, it was melodious and melodious, with a little sadness and sigh.Tan Yue listened in a daze, which aroused a little nostalgia for his hometown, and he sighed unconsciously.
The sound spread far away in the quiet night, although it was not loud, it was enough to pull back those who were trapped in their own emotion.Zheng Yicheng put down his flute and said, "Since General Tan is here, don't just stand there."
Tan Yue clasped his fists together, found a stone and sat down and said, "Tan took the liberty to disturb Mr. Zheng's elegance."
Zheng Yicheng said with emotion, "It's not really elegant, but I can't help but sigh when I think of my youthful ambitions."
"I listened to the sound of the flute, but it made me feel homesick!"
"General Tan is actually a confidant, and what I play is nostalgia."
"It's just these days..." Tan Yue said halfway through, but he couldn't continue—he also joined the army because his hometown was broken and his parents died.
If Zheng Yicheng felt something, he sighed softly, "'I don't know where to play the reed pipe, and all the people are recruited overnight.' In fact, it is good to have a hometown to miss..."
The moonlight fell on the two of them, and Zheng Yicheng's handsome face was covered with a layer of light silver-gray blue under the projection of the light and shadow.Tan Yue blinked, but for some reason, his vision seemed a little hazy.
The two were silent for a while, neither knowing what to say.Zheng Yicheng played another song, which was full of smoked willows and painted bridges, green curtains on windy eaves, a scene of Jiangnan scenery, the sound of the flute was still melodious, but it seemed to be wearing a mask, not as direct as the previous song.
After playing the song, Tan Yue suddenly raised his head and asked, "Mister, do you still think about the Southern Zhou Dynasty, and you are not so willing to stay by the general's side?"
Zheng Yicheng was suddenly alert, and pretended to be calm and asked, "Why did General Tan say that? The general treats me with such kindness as a mountain, how dare Yicheng think too much."
Tan Yue knew he had made a slip of the tongue, and smiled awkwardly, "That's just the question."
"It's late at night and the dew is heavy. Yicheng went back first, and General Tan also rested early, and tomorrow will be early." After Zheng Yicheng finished speaking, he immediately turned around and returned to the account.Tan Yue saw that he was bored, so he returned to the account and rested.
After traveling for two days and nights, crossing the Moliang River towards Qinxin Mountain, I saw Xi Ao dispatching Ye Hu Ashina to lead a team of people in green clothes and black turtles.
After arranging for the luggage, Liu Shao was led by Ashina to meet Lida Khan, king of Xiao, and handed over his letter of credence to convey his friendship.It was inconvenient for Zheng Yicheng and others to follow, so they had to wait in the tent.After about two hours, Zheng Yicheng read several volumes of "Zuo Zhuan" in his hand, and Liu Shao sent someone over to see him.
Liu Shao stroked his beautiful beard and said, "This time there is a trustworthy helper, Li Da Khan is quite willing to form an alliance, but Zuo Xianwang made a difficult statement, and fought with him, and it took a few words."
Zheng Yicheng sat sideways and bowed in response, "Your Excellency returned with joy, it must have suppressed Zuo Xianwang's momentum."
Liu Shaoyi humbly cupped his hands and said with a smile, "King Zuo Xian still objected, but he lost the enthusiasm of the beginning. There must be no time for everyone to attend the Khan's banquet tonight. Mr. Zheng can take this opportunity to meet with Empress Dowager Wu. Please talk to Chen." peace."
"The villain also means the same thing, but he hasn't found out where the Queen Mother's camp is yet?"
"The spies brought this picture earlier, sir, please take a look." Liu Shao took out a very thin white gauze scarf from his bosom, and handed it to Zheng Yicheng, "We are located in the west of the king's tent, while the empress dowager's tent and other female relatives are in the north of the king's tent , separated by a wooden fence. Mister, do you need to change the clothes of Xiao soldiers and mix them in?"
Zheng Yicheng leaned forward and replied, "The villain wants to see you in Western Wei Dynasty clothes."
Liu Shao was puzzled, "Mister's idea is good, but how can it be done?"
Zheng Yicheng replied, "Send someone to wear the clothes of Xiao's soldiers and inform the Queen Mother that Han Lin, the old chancellor of the Western Wei Dynasty, and Zheng Yicheng, a disciple of the former great general Sun Wei, will be fine."
"A few days ago, I heard from General Xuanwei's camp that Mr. Shao was actually two high-ranking disciples, Shao really couldn't believe it. I don't know how Mr. knew them?" Liu Shao said, and immediately sent someone to change into the clothes of Xiao soldiers to spread the word.
"It's just a coincidence."
Liu Shao wanted to ask more questions, but Zheng Yicheng decided to change the topic, and only talked about romance.After an incense stick of time passed, a soldier led a Xi Ao bodyguard to report back, "My lord, the Queen Mother heard that she is the disciple of an old friend. She was so excited that she couldn't help herself. She wants to see you immediately."
Liu Shao clapped his hands, "Sure enough, what Mr. said!"
The Xi Ao guard unloaded the burden from his shoulders, spoke not-so-fluent Chinese, and said respectfully, "My lord, put on this cloak and let me lead the way after dark. No one else will be suspicious."
"Little man, prepare immediately." Zheng Yicheng bowed and said goodbye.
When the night fell, Zheng Yicheng and Tan Yue put on their cloaks, dodged the crowd, and walked forward in the dark.Or when a soldier came to interrogate him, he would salute respectfully when he saw the guard, not daring to take another look.Zheng Yicheng and Tan Yue exchanged glances, secretly guessing the identity of this person.
When I came to the Empress Dowager's tent, I didn't wait for the guards to inform me, when I heard the voice of an old woman, "Is it an old man's apprentice? Come in quickly, and let the Ai family have a look."
Zheng Yicheng took off his cloak, revealing the blue-and-white blue straight gown with a high collar and wide rim often worn by Western Wei scholars, prostrating and said, "Craftsman Zheng Yicheng, see Princess Rongxuan."
"Quickly flatten your body and give me a seat. The Ai family hasn't heard this name for decades." Empress Dowager Wu let Zheng Yicheng sit on the west side, and asked herself, "How does Yicheng have the same master-student relationship as Han Lin and Sun Wei?" Friendship? As far as the Ai family knows, the two don't get along very well."
Zheng Yicheng knew that Empress Dowager Wu was in her fifties, but her appearance was only in her early forties, she still had a graceful appearance, she was dressed in black Xiao women's uniform, and a golden phoenix necklace with pearls, which made her look elegant and luxurious.Zheng Yicheng bowed again and replied, "Caomin and the two masters are indeed old, but they were not in the Western Wei Dynasty."
The queen mother heard what Zheng Yicheng said, stood up suddenly and said, "After the great Wei Dynasty destroyed the country, the Ai family sent people to secretly investigate the old ministers, but they found nothing. Later, when they heard that the ministers died for the country, they gave up. Don't lie How can I prove that you are really an old friend?"
Zheng Yicheng bowed again and said, "Caomin dared to come to meet the Queen Mother, it is true. After the Eastern Qi destroyed Wei, all the ministers who did not surrender were sent to the army and punished with hard labor. Seeing that I was young, the gentleman took pity on my helplessness and dictated the art of war to me."
"The son of the fallen minister of the Southern Zhou Dynasty... Are you Zheng Yicheng who was known as a child prodigy when he was young?"
"It's the grass people."
"I still think it's the person with the same name, but I don't want to be a descendant of the Southern Zhou Dynasty..."
"Poor Mrs. Han is over sixty years old, just because he passed on the history of the state of Wei, endured hard labor, and wrote this "Wei Ji" in his spare time based on memory, and died of overwork." Zheng Yicheng said, from the previous preparation He took out a stack of oiled paper-wrapped scrolls from his bundle, all of which were densely written in small script.
The maid took it and handed it to the Empress Dowager Wu. The Empress Dowager looked at it and couldn't help but say with reddened eyes, "It's really Han Xiang's handwriting. Get up, Yicheng, don't kneel and talk like this."
Zheng Yicheng refused to get up, but still knelt and said, "Master Sun was determined to take revenge, and secretly colluded with everyone to carry out an incident. Unfortunately, he failed and was shot to death by random arrows..." When he finished speaking, tears welled up in his eyes.
"How could this be so!" The Empress Dowager Wu also burst into tears when she heard about it.
"Master Sun left suddenly, and there is no legacy to pass on to the grassroots. However, Master Sun has a scar on the left side of his face. He always likes to say that men don't need to care about beauty and ugliness. In the future, they will have beautiful women to accompany them. He also said that life is proud Xu Jinhuan, it’s a pleasure to drink and eat meat, isn’t it?”
"Sure enough, it's General Sun's tone." Empress Dowager Wu asked, wiping her tears, "Since Yicheng is a descendant of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, how can he live with the ministers of Wei who destroyed the Southern Zhou Dynasty without any regrets?"
Zheng Yicheng sighed and said to him, "Caomin is not grass and trees, so naturally there will be regrets. When Zhou died, he was determined to take revenge. But after thinking about it, everyone is doing their duty. If Caomin is in that position, I am afraid it will be the same. The same deeds. Later, we were both captives of the subjugated country, sympathized with each other in the same disease, and the thoughts of separation have gradually diminished."
The queen mother nodded and said, "Yicheng can think about it, very good."
"After the fall of Daxuan, the dynasties have changed. Yesterday the Eastern Qi destroyed Wei, and today the Great Shu destroyed Qi. The result of the vying of the heroes is only suffering for the people."
Empress Dowager Wu wiped away her tears, sat upright and sighed, "Everyone is suffering, and the people are also suffering. You came here with sincerity, but to persuade the Kingdom of Shu to negotiate peace with our country?"
Zheng Yicheng bowed down and said, "The Empress Dowager is wise, it is true. Yicheng deeply feels the sufferings of the people, so he came here to ask the Empress Dowager for orders, and please agree to suspend the army to discuss peace."
Empress Dowager Wu heard the words solemnly, "Although I am the daughter of Wei, I am also the queen mother of Xiyu, and I know the attitudes of the countries in the Central Plains towards Xiyu. When internal turmoil and national power are not strong, I sacrificed one or two families in the name of marriage. Girl, in exchange for a chance to recuperate, when the country is strong and strong, I feel that foreigners are disturbing the border and take the initiative to provoke disputes. Although I love the people deeply, I have to think about the sincerity of the Kingdom of Shu.”
Zheng Yicheng also replied sternly, "The Empress Dowager clearly learned that if you marry relatives, you are appealing to blood relatives. However, facing the temptation of interests, father and son close relatives can still kill each other, let alone only relatives by marriage? But if you do business with each other, each will get what he needs. In exchange for the war horses of Xiao in exchange for the gold, silver, cloth, and household utensils of Dashu, it will benefit both, the people will be spared from the flames of war, and the country will be prosperous and strong, why not do it?"
The Empress Dowager Wu pressed her questions further, revealing sharp and sharp eyes, "Once the Great Shu obtains our war horses and strengthens its military strength, even if it does not invade our country, it will definitely be used to attack other countries. Yicheng just said that he is pleading for the lives of the people. Isn't it contradictory?"
"There are many countries, and there are many disputes. I sincerely wish to assist the Ming Lord, unify the Central Plains as soon as possible, and make the people happy." Zheng Yicheng looked back at the Queen Mother, with a pair of deep and clear autumn eyes, frank and fearless.
Empress Dowager Wu smiled lightly, "So, you really care about the common people."
As Zheng Yicheng spoke, he couldn't help sighing, "The grass people are not speaking for the sages, but they are suffering from the war, and they are tossed and displaced, and they have some emotions. Moreover, when two countries fight each other, there must be winners and losers. It's very detailed, don't wait for the grassroots to explain it clearly."
"Sincerely speaking, Ai's family will consider it carefully. The night is dark and foggy, so please be careful on your return journey." Empress Dowager Wu signaled to see off the guests, and the guards lifted the curtain, just in time to bump into soldiers who were about to enter the tent outside.
The soldier was knocked down and sat on the ground, yelling, "Queen Mother! Something serious has happened! Just now at the state banquet, the envoys of the Kingdom of Shu were all poisoned and fell to the ground!"
These words made everyone turn pale and looked at each other, "How could this be so!?"

([-]) thunder and dark clouds
The soldier was knocked down and sat on the ground, yelling, "Queen Mother! Something serious has happened! Just now at the state banquet, the envoys of the Kingdom of Shu were all poisoned and fell to the ground!"
Zheng Yicheng and Tan Yue didn't understand Xiao language, and they didn't know what happened until they heard what the Queen Mother said, and then their faces changed dramatically.Empress Dowager Wu ordered, "Bring two fast horses and send them there."
Tan Yue and Zheng Yicheng discussed immediately, "Special Envoy Liu died. If he was a bodyguard, it would be difficult to understand the truth. The young general wants to meet Li Da Khan in his original capacity, so as to understand the situation."
"I also have this concern, but I'm afraid that Xi Ao will retaliate against him." After all, Tan Yue is an enemy general, and Zheng Yicheng had to be worried when he broke into the enemy camp alone.
Tan Yue was fearless, and said, "Ao Tibetans are martial arts, and heroes are the most important. Mister, change back your clothes and break into the tent with the young general."
The two went back to the tent to change their clothes, and went straight to Wang's tent all the way.As expected, the guards stopped him, so Tan Yue yelled at the king's tent, "I am Tan Yue, the cavalry general of Dashu. I heard that Liu Shao, the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, was poisoned for some reason. I am here to see Lida Khan."
After a while, a Xi Ao general appeared, seeing Tan Yue with a frightened expression on his face, he said something to the guards, and asked Tan Yue and Zheng Yicheng to meet him.
Tan Yue entered the account, led Zheng Yicheng to salute, and said, "The young general Tan Yue was ordered to secretly protect the safety of Special Envoy Liu, and just now he was reported that the special envoy was poisoned, so he came here to meet the Khan. Please forgive me for taking the liberty."
The interpreter translated to Lida Khan, Lida Khan was not angry, but smiled, "General Tan broke into the tent alone, his courage is commendable, I will not make things difficult for you, Mu Dunluo, explain the situation for General Tan, So as not to blame the Shu Kingdom in the future."
Mu Dunluo obeyed and said to the two in Chinese, "Your envoy was having a banquet with the Khan in the tent, but suddenly he vomited and had diarrhea. Before the Khan had time to ask the medical officer to come and consult him, your envoy was gone." Breathing. We'll have to wait for an autopsy to find out why. But it could be food poisoning."
Tan Yue frowned, unwilling to believe it, "I have a banquet with the special envoy of the court, and the diet should be the same. How can it be said that it is food poisoning?"
Mu Dunluo said, "Just because the Khan was afraid that the expensive people would not be used to our food, he specially sent someone to catch the famous chef of your country to cook. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen. The Khan wanted to negotiate peace, and he was deeply afraid of the Shu Kingdom. Because of this, I was so angry that I blamed it!"
Tan Yue shook his head, still doubtful and said, "Drinking at the same banquet, there are two countries' dishes, this is beyond the imagination of young generals."
Mu Dunluo said with a cold face, "This is indeed not a conspiracy against your country. If our country wants to kill you, a few hundred soldiers will do. Why explain it to you here? Besides, it is not only the special envoy who was poisoned, but the other people in your country. The rest of the accompanying people who had food and drink were all vomiting and diarrhea, and they were recuperating in the tents on both sides. The few who had no food and drink were all so frightened that they couldn’t speak.”
Tan Yue still wanted to talk, but saw two soldiers escorting a cook in. Mu Dunluo explained the reason to him, and the cook immediately lay down on the ground and cried bitterly, "I only know that this is a Xiao dog... no, It was eaten by the Ao Tibetan people, and they intentionally cooked it with dirty ingredients. They didn’t know that it was our envoys who ate it, but they harmed their own people. But the ingredients used by the villain will not kill you. Please be careful, my lord, please forgive me!”
Zheng Yicheng and Tan Yue looked at each other, they were not innocent, they were about to speak, suddenly a general from Xi Ao shouted and said something excitedly, all officials from Xi Ao looked at Zheng Yicheng and them.
At this time, Ye Hu Ashina stood up and said, "Qizuo Khan, since Suni witnessed the two men coming galloping on horseback, it can be seen that they are not nearby. He clearly wanted to deceive others, so he left the team. Said Perhaps the poisoning this time is because these two people deliberately planted our country and provoked disputes between the two countries, so General Tan can earn more military exploits like this, right?"
At this point, everyone whispered to each other. After Tan Yue listened to the translation, he yelled loudly, "Your official, don't spit blood on people. The cause of the special envoy's death is unknown, and he speaks like this without evidence. His intentions are different."
Tan Yue went directly to the center of the camp, and stood proudly, "If you want to use motives, King Zuoxian of your country has always opposed the peace talks, and his motive is the highest; or it is possible that King Zuoxian's political opponents want to frame him; The generals of your country are greedy for meritorious service, and are not happy to see peace talks. Everyone present, eating and drinking with the special envoy, but they are safe and sound, are they all suspicious?"
"The two armies are at war, and our country has the upper hand. We just sympathize with the suffering of the people and come here for peace. Your officials don't think about whether this is a conspiracy by the main fighters, but deliberately provoke the two sides to confront each other. Why?"
King Zuoxian said angrily in his poor Chinese, "Although this king hates your country, I wouldn't do such a thing as killing an envoy!" Ashina Panchao and other officials also spoke out their words one after another, and for a while they camped It was filled with the noise of the crowd.
Lida Khan had been sitting quietly watching the situation. Seeing the commotion, he jumped up and said, "What's the noise? People don't know how they died. Maybe it's because of unclean food. Why should everyone just because of one person's words? Self-disruption? Could it be that someone really tampered with the food of the envoys of the Kingdom of Shu, and was guilty of being a thief?"
When the ministers heard Khan's accusation, they fell silent immediately.Xi Ao Khan, dressed in black sable fur, came to Zheng and Tan with tiger steps and said, "General Tan, can you tell me where you two went just now? Otherwise, everyone will be confused, and I'm afraid it will be disadvantageous to you two. "After speaking, he stretched out his hand and waved, and the guards were already holding scimitars and surrounded the two of them.
After listening to Mu Dunluo's translation, Zheng Yicheng had no choice but to reply, "The Caomin have an old relationship with the old officials of the Western Wei Dynasty, and they were summoned by the Empress Dowager, so I asked General Tan to accompany her to meet the Empress Dowager."
"This matter is not difficult to verify." After listening to the explanation, Rita Khan turned his head and ordered the guard Pegasus to ask the queen mother for verification.Then he asked Wu Zuo, "After testing for a long time, what did you find out?"
Wu Zuo replied respectfully, "I would like to report to the Great Khan that the envoy from the Kingdom of Shu probably died because of unclean food and restrained food. The ambassador's stomach contained venison, pumpkin, rabbit meat, mustard greens, beef, ginger and other related ingredients. , and more ingredients were used for cooking, and the profusely respected our country’s imperial Mabao wine, the food poisoning was stimulated, and the envoy of the Kingdom of Shu died because of it.”
Although Zheng Yicheng and the two could not understand Xiao's language, they knew that Wu Zuo was explaining the autopsy.The two glanced at each other and were about to ask a question, but the guard took another step closer.
Hearing Lida Khan say, "In this way, many coincidences caused misfortune. Hurry up and enshrine the ambassador, and send someone to escort him back to the Kingdom of Shu." He turned around and ordered, "Master, please write a book explaining this matter, and present it to the Kingdom of Shu in the coming spring." Hundreds of war horses, expressing our country's apology."
Lida Khan was talking, when he saw the bodyguard who had just brought Zheng and Tan to the Empress Dowager came to identify him, and said, "To the Great Khan, these two people are indeed reminiscing with the Empress Dowager just now. The horse was also a gift from the Empress Dowager." Only then did the guards lift the siege around the two of them, Lida Khan said, "It turns out that the two of you are really honored guests of the Empress Dowager, and they were rude just now, please forgive me."
At this point, the interpreter explained the ins and outs of the incident, and let Zheng and Tan see Liu Shao's body, explaining the poisoning symptoms and inferences.The two listened silently, Lida Khan thought that the two had no doubts, so he sent someone to send Zheng Yicheng and Tan Yue back to the tent to rest.
When the two returned to the tent, a rich meal had been prepared for each other, and a middle-aged servant woman said to the two in fluent Chinese, "This old slave is the queen mother's dowry. The queen mother knows that the two adults He must have been frightened, so he specially ordered this old slave to prepare wine and food, and come to express condolences."
Zheng Yicheng and Zheng Yicheng still had lingering fears, they didn't know whether they should eat this meal or not, the maid seemed to see through their minds, bowed down and said, "The Empress Dowager knows that the two adults must have doubts in their hearts, if the two adults don't dislike it, let the old slave How about trying it first?"
Tan Yue was so hungry that he panicked a long time ago, so he didn't refuse, he clasped his fists and said, "Please!"
The maid inlaid silver with ebony wood, picked a little from each dish, let the two people look at it first, the silver hadn't changed color, and ate the dishes one by one, Zheng Yicheng and Tan Yue saw that the test dishes were not poisonous, so they felt at ease eat.
Zheng Yicheng said to the maid, "The Empress Dowager has a heart, General Tan and I thank you here."
The servant woman sighed and said, "This old slave is also a Han Chinese, and I really don't want the two countries to go to war. It is obviously a good situation for peace negotiations, but this kind of accident happened, it is really frustrating."
Zheng Yicheng looked at the servant woman's expression, and said it with great affection, and sighed, "If everyone in your country thinks like you, then the war will not be able to be fought."
The servant woman said in a low voice, "It's a pity that some people put their own interests before the common people and deliberately provoked the war. The two adults are clearly aware of the details, and they will definitely not blame the good people."
After hearing what the servant girl said, Zheng Yicheng stopped talking.Seeing this, Tan Yue had no choice but to say, "We also hope to have a good peace talk, and I believe the majority of Xi'ao people do the same."
The maid said a lot of words, accompanied the two of them to finish eating, and after packing up the utensils, she bowed and left.Tan Yue said with emotion, "That Queen Mother is a good person, I'm afraid the two countries will fight."
Zheng Yicheng raised his eyebrows and said with a sneer, "Didn't that servant just imply that the murderer is Zuo Xianwang?"
Tan Yue said, "Isn't it?"
Zheng Yicheng still wanted to talk, but he heard someone outside the tent announce that it was Lida Khan who sent someone, so they had to temporarily cover up the topic.The two guards led the interpreter and said, "Khan knew that the two adults were frightened, so he specially sent a gift to make the two of you panic."
Once he waved to the outside, he saw four Xiao beauties entering in a file. They had pretty faces and graceful figures, and they didn't seem to be wearing any clothes under the cloak.
Zheng Yicheng looked at Tan Yue in embarrassment, seeing Tan Yue's eyes staring at the floor, but pretending to be bold and laughing, he said, "Khan's kindness, we appreciate it. It's just that we all have families, and the one in my family I also have a bad temper and a strong temper, if I know what good things I have done outside, I am afraid that I will not only have to kneel down to my abacus when I go back!" As he said, his ears turned red.
Although Zheng Yicheng was not as uncomfortable as Tan Yue, he also felt embarrassed, he echoed and said, "I am the same as General Tan, the one in the family is very strict, so I promised him that I would never mess around."
The two guards listened to the translator's words, muttered for a while, and asked him to translate, "Khan sincerely asked for peace, but he didn't want such things to happen at the banquet. The two adults refused to accept it." Next, are you blaming our country?"
Zheng Yicheng thought to himself, could it be that Xi Ao knew that he and Tan Yue were not married, so these words were just excuses?Seeing what the guards said to those beauties, those beauties immediately took off their cloaks, and sure enough they were not wearing a single thread.The interpreter said, "Don't be suspicious, my lords. There is no place to hide weapons on these beauties. It is purely Khan's kindness. Please accept it with peace of mind!"
Writer's words:
☆, (17) The Dream of the Three Watches Changes - The Loyal Dog Gong Gentle Shou Junwen War
([-]) The dream of the third watch changes
Zheng Yicheng had never seen such a lively and fragrant scene before, he was secretly amazed at the bold style of the Ao Tibetans.He turned his face away in fright, his ears were red, he didn't know where to put his eyes, and the most terrible thing was that his lower body bulged slightly because of the startled glance.
Tan Yue exclaimed, "Girls, hurry up and put on your clothes! This... this is really..." Tan Yue blushed, and hurriedly took out a purse from his arms and said, "I say it's true. Yes, this purse was put on by my family. There is still a knot at the bottom, what is it called "forever knot and one heart"... Khan kindly accepts it. We really have difficulties. We all put on clothes so we can talk. !"
The interpreter pursed his lips and snickered and told everyone, and the women put on their cloaks embarrassingly.It was only then that Tan Yue calmed down and said, "Actually, we have never blamed the Khan of your country for the accident of Special Envoy Liu. Nama Bao wine is usually a health-preserving wine. I don't want it to catalyze the toxicity in the diet. A coincidence among coincidences is beyond anyone's expectation. If Khan really sent someone over, we would send them to the army and act as camp prostitutes after accepting them. It would be a waste of Khan's good intentions. Please, two young generals Convey your meaning so that Khan can feel at ease."
After the two guards listened to the explanation, they asked the interpreter to say, "General Tan has already said so, so we don't have to force it. We will take General Tan's words with us. Please rest early."
After sending the guard and the beauty away, Zheng Yicheng and Tan Yue looked at each other helplessly as if they had finished a scuffle, and laughed at each other.After finally stopping their laughter, they were about to discuss the situation when the two heard commotion outside the camp.It turned out that two children were fighting, and everyone was talking about it, but no one stepped forward to persuade them.
Zheng Yicheng pulled the interpreter and asked, "What happened? What are they talking about? Why is no one persuading me?"
The interpreter replied, "Of the two young men, the taller one is under Zuo Xianwang's subordinates, and the other is under Ashina Panchao's subordinates, but the result of the fight was the death of Special Envoy Liu."
When Tan Yue heard this topic again, he leaned over and asked, "What are they arguing about? Let's hear it."
The interpreter explained one by one, "The accusation of the short man was a bad idea from Zuo Xianwang. He could arrest the cooks of the Han people to cook. Ashina only followed the advice, but was blamed by Lida Khan for causing food poisoning. people."
"The tall one retorted, saying that it was Ashina Panchao who took the initiative to ask Zuo Xianwang for advice, but now that something happened, everyone poured dirty water on Zuo Xianwang. In fact, Zuo Xianwang was wronged."
Tan Yue said with a smile, "It turns out that they are pushing each other's responsibilities, what do everyone think?"
The interpreter frowned and said, "It's hard to say. After all, it is well known that King Zuo Xian is in charge of the battle. More than half of the people think that King Zuo Xian is the murderer; another [-]% think it was an accident; and two people think that , this was deliberately framed by someone.”
Tan Yue turned to Zheng Yicheng and said, "In the end, even the Xiao people couldn't figure out the situation. What advice does Mr. Zheng have?"
Zheng Yicheng murmured and said, "General Tan, let's go back to the tent and talk." After returning to the tent, Zheng Yicheng pushed aside the others and whispered to Tan Yue, "After we returned to the tent, we encountered three things, what does General Tan think? "
Tan Yue straightened his mind and said, "First the Queen Mother came to apologize, and then Lida Khan sent the beautiful woman, and also came to apologize. In the end, the two children fought, one representing Ashina, and the other representing King Zuoxian. This... ...Should be the result of deliberate actions, right?"
Zheng Yicheng nodded and said, "I think so too. Empress Dowager Wu and Lida Khan both support the peace talks. They are afraid that the accident of Special Envoy Liu will cause changes, so they come to appease you. Ashina Panchao and Zuo Xianwang Afraid of taking responsibility, I found two children and purposely staged this scene, otherwise, how could ordinary fights happen right under our noses?"
Tan Yue puzzled and said, "If everyone wants to negotiate a peace, but is afraid of being involved, why did Special Envoy Liu die? Could it be because of diet?"
Zheng Yicheng said with a sneer, "General, do you really believe that the saying that alcohol induces food to overcome toxicity?"
Tan Yue said, "I can't see any flaws. Lida Khan showed his sincerity, and the reaction of Zuo Xianwang and Ashina didn't seem to be acting."
Zheng Yicheng shook his head and said, "Maybe they really have the sincerity to negotiate a peace, but there are many doubts about this matter. How can there be a reason for using two types of dishes for a state banquet? There must be a conspiracy. What the cook said is true or not, whether food poisoning can really kill you , is only a one-sided statement.”
After listening to Zheng Yicheng's analysis, Tan Yue also became suspicious, "You and I don't understand Xiao language, how can we find out? Besides, I'm not very familiar with Xiao court officials, who do you think is the most suspect?"
Zheng Yicheng said, "King Zuoxian has always led the battle, and he is the most suspected. However, he also knows that he is the most likely to attract people's suspicion. It is hard to say whether he will really do such a reckless move. What's more, he just tried to clear himself up. If he really wanted to challenge If there is a dispute and another fight, why bother?
If what the child said is true, the practice of different dishes at the same table should have something to do with Ashina's dish.Such an arrangement is indeed against the conventions, but if he intends to manipulate, such means are too rough.According to common sense, it is reasonable to avoid causing doubts by deliberately poisoning.But it’s also possible to know we think so and act the other way. "
Tan Yue said, "In this way, both of these two people are suspicious. It should be that the Queen Mother and Lida Khan have peace talks, but the people below are deliberately provoking disputes out of self-interest. If we can monitor these two people, There may be some unexpected gains, but unfortunately we cannot speak well, so there is no way to find out."
Zheng Yicheng said indifferently, "Assuming that Special Envoy Liu's death was indeed due to a conspiracy, not an accident. After General Tan finds out the truth, what is he going to do?"
Tan Yue said angrily, "Of course I want them to hand over the murderer to sacrifice the spirit of Special Envoy Liu!"
Zheng Yicheng raised his eyebrows and asked, "General Tan thinks that it is really possible for Xi Ao to hand over Zuo Xianwang or Ashina's pan? If Xi Ao refuses to hand over, will our country have to use the army again? Isn't this in their favor? ?”
Tan Yue was stunned for a while, then said dejectedly, "In order to discuss the overall situation of peace, I still have to endure it."
Zheng Yicheng said helplessly, "In my opinion, it's better not to pursue the matter any further, and treat the death of Special Envoy Liu as an accident, which is the best for Dashu."
After hearing this, Tan Yue felt a little depressed, walked back and forth in the tent with his hands on his hips, got tired of seeing Zheng Yicheng, and then said, "I'm tired, sir, please rest in peace, let me take you out Account!"
Zheng Yicheng asked Tan Yue's guards to return to the account, and the two rested separately.Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, half asleep and half awake, Zheng Yicheng heard someone say in his ear, "Wake up quickly! We're out of the water!"
"Sister-in-law, wake up!" Zheng Yicheng opened his eyes and saw that the camp had already been surrounded by fire, and the smoke was choking. The Xiao soldiers beside him spoke fluent Chinese and pushed him gently.
"Sister-in-law?" Zheng Yicheng's mind was still in a state of confusion, he unconsciously grabbed the fur coat, and before he could put it on, he was pushed out of the tent by the soldier.Looking back, flames had burst out of the tents, and several tents were burned by the flames. A group of Xi'ao soldiers hurriedly removed the tents and put out the fire with sand, and everyone was in a mess.
"Is my sister-in-law alright?" When Zheng Yicheng looked back, Tan Yue was already beside him, as well as the two Xiao soldiers who rescued him from the fire just now.
Zheng Yicheng took a look, and was surprised that the two people had exactly the same appearance, only the one on the left had a small mole at the corner of his right eye, and his eyes were piercing.He couldn't help but blush when he thought of Yang Bangjie handing him a pair of talisman cards before leaving, saying that he would ask friends from the world to take care of him.I really don't know how Yang Bangjie told outsiders that he called himself sister-in-law like that.
Zheng Yicheng clasped his fists and said, "Thank you two heroes for saving us, otherwise we would have died in the fire cave. I don't know what to call you two?"
Sure enough, the two men took out their talismans to test each other, and the one with the mole on the corner of his eye said, "We can't bear the word hero. My name is He Chengfeng and his name is He Chengyun.
([-]) The sensory child is deliberately long
The mission to Xiao was delayed for several days because of supplementing the accompanying documents of Tan Yue.Before parting, Yang Bangjie was very reluctant and watched Zheng Yicheng go away. He didn't turn back to the camp until the figures of the group disappeared on the prairie.Both Tan Yue and Zheng Yicheng dressed up as ordinary attendants, followed Liu Shao and his team's convoy on horseback, and saw the scenery of the Northland along the way.
Seeing that everyone was not paying attention, Tan Yue came to Zheng Yicheng's side and said sincerely, "Mr. Zheng, don't blame us for the joke in the tent earlier."
Zheng Yicheng smiled and said, "The general is kind, so why blame him?"
"Mr. Zheng is indeed a sensible person." Tan Yue clasped his fists again and said, "The fate between Mr. and the general is really unexpected. If the escort was offended before, please forgive me."
Zheng Yicheng also clasped his fists in return, "The general is just loyal to his duty, why should you care about it?"
"There are a lot of sirs, it's best not to blame, no wonder the general cares about it." Tan Yue was always worried that Zheng Yicheng would remember what happened at that time because he was escorted by himself. Hearing what he said, the big stone in his heart finally landing.
Zheng Yicheng replied indifferently, "It's hard to say what's on your mind, I'm just accompanying you." With a clamp on his legs, he rode his horse straight and said, "Don't just talk, you're already falling behind the team. "
Tan Yue hurried to catch up, still talking beside Zheng Yicheng, "This is the truth, the young general has been with the general for seven or eight years, and he knows that the general is a lover. Think about it, if he is serious, why should he be afraid of the previous one? He always cares about the relationship between husband and wife, he just can't bear to care about it."
Zheng Yicheng didn't want to talk to him at first, seeing what he said eagerly, he had no choice but to respond casually, "In this way, the general is sincere."
Tan Yue continued, "Of course, sir, I didn't see the general was forced to rest by his wife for a while, he was busy in the army all day long, and he lost a lot of weight. General Zhongwu often came to talk, and it was hard for him to regain his energy. The general didn't cheer up until Mister appeared."
Looking back at that time, Zheng Yicheng, as Tan Yue said, nodded and said, "At that time, I only thought that the general was tired from the army, but I didn't expect there to be so many reasons."
Tan Yue clasped his fists in thanks again and again, "Mr. Lao will take more care in the future."
"I know with sincerity."
The two gossiped all the way, slept with the team, and let Xi Ao's guide look at the stars in the sky to guide the way.After nightfall, Zheng Yicheng couldn't fall asleep no matter what, so he couldn't help but put on a fur coat and go out of the tent to breathe.Just seeing the night is low and the stars are shining, thinking about my own fate, I can't help feeling a lot of emotion.
I didn't want this action, but it alarmed others.Tan Yue slept awake and noticed movement in the tent, so he immediately got up to check.Finding that Zheng Yicheng's figure was getting further and further away, he had no choice but to follow him all the way to the riverside.He saw that Zheng Yicheng found a rock and sat down, took out his flute and played it, he didn't know what kind of music he was playing, it was melodious and melodious, with a little sadness and sigh.Tan Yue listened in a daze, which aroused a little nostalgia for his hometown, and he sighed unconsciously.
The sound spread far away in the quiet night, although it was not loud, it was enough to pull back those who were trapped in their own emotion.Zheng Yicheng put down his flute and said, "Since General Tan is here, don't just stand there."
Tan Yue clasped his fists together, found a stone and sat down and said, "Tan took the liberty to disturb Mr. Zheng's elegance."
Zheng Yicheng said with emotion, "It's not really elegant, but I can't help but sigh when I think of my youthful ambitions."
"I listened to the sound of the flute, but it made me feel homesick!"
"General Tan is actually a confidant, and what I play is nostalgia."
"It's just these days..." Tan Yue said halfway through, but he couldn't continue—he also joined the army because his hometown was broken and his parents died.
If Zheng Yicheng felt something, he sighed softly, "'I don't know where to play the reed pipe, and all the people are recruited overnight.' In fact, it is good to have a hometown to miss..."
The moonlight fell on the two of them, and Zheng Yicheng's handsome face was covered with a layer of light silver-gray blue under the projection of the light and shadow.Tan Yue blinked, but for some reason, his vision seemed a little hazy.
The two were silent for a while, neither knowing what to say.Zheng Yicheng played another song, which was full of smoked willows and painted bridges, green curtains on windy eaves, a scene of Jiangnan scenery, the sound of the flute was still melodious, but it seemed to be wearing a mask, not as direct as the previous song.
After playing the song, Tan Yue suddenly raised his head and asked, "Mister, do you still think about the Southern Zhou Dynasty, and you are not so willing to stay by the general's side?"
Zheng Yicheng was suddenly alert, and pretended to be calm and asked, "Why did General Tan say that? The general treats me with such kindness as a mountain, how dare Yicheng think too much."
Tan Yue knew he had made a slip of the tongue, and smiled awkwardly, "That's just the question."
"It's late at night and the dew is heavy. Yicheng went back first, and General Tan also rested early, and tomorrow will be early." After Zheng Yicheng finished speaking, he immediately turned around and returned to the account.Tan Yue saw that he was bored, so he returned to the account and rested.
After traveling for two days and nights, crossing the Moliang River towards Qinxin Mountain, I saw Xi Ao dispatching Ye Hu Ashina to lead a team of people in green clothes and black turtles.
After arranging for the luggage, Liu Shao was led by Ashina to meet Lida Khan, king of Xiao, and handed over his letter of credence to convey his friendship.It was inconvenient for Zheng Yicheng and others to follow, so they had to wait in the tent.After about two hours, Zheng Yicheng read several volumes of "Zuo Zhuan" in his hand, and Liu Shao sent someone over to see him.
Liu Shao stroked his beautiful beard and said, "This time there is a trustworthy helper, Li Da Khan is quite willing to form an alliance, but Zuo Xianwang made a difficult statement, and fought with him, and it took a few words."
Zheng Yicheng sat sideways and bowed in response, "Your Excellency returned with joy, it must have suppressed Zuo Xianwang's momentum."
Liu Shaoyi humbly cupped his hands and said with a smile, "King Zuo Xian still objected, but he lost the enthusiasm of the beginning. There must be no time for everyone to attend the Khan's banquet tonight. Mr. Zheng can take this opportunity to meet with Empress Dowager Wu. Please talk to Chen." peace."
"The villain also means the same thing, but he hasn't found out where the Queen Mother's camp is yet?"
"The spies brought this picture earlier, sir, please take a look." Liu Shao took out a very thin white gauze scarf from his bosom, and handed it to Zheng Yicheng, "We are located in the west of the king's tent, while the empress dowager's tent and other female relatives are in the north of the king's tent , separated by a wooden fence. Mister, do you need to change the clothes of Xiao soldiers and mix them in?"
Zheng Yicheng leaned forward and replied, "The villain wants to see you in Western Wei Dynasty clothes."
Liu Shao was puzzled, "Mister's idea is good, but how can it be done?"
Zheng Yicheng replied, "Send someone to wear the clothes of Xiao's soldiers and inform the Queen Mother that Han Lin, the old chancellor of the Western Wei Dynasty, and Zheng Yicheng, a disciple of the former great general Sun Wei, will be fine."
"A few days ago, I heard from General Xuanwei's camp that Mr. Shao was actually two high-ranking disciples, Shao really couldn't believe it. I don't know how Mr. knew them?" Liu Shao said, and immediately sent someone to change into the clothes of Xiao soldiers to spread the word.
"It's just a coincidence."
Liu Shao wanted to ask more questions, but Zheng Yicheng decided to change the topic, and only talked about romance.After an incense stick of time passed, a soldier led a Xi Ao bodyguard to report back, "My lord, the Queen Mother heard that she is the disciple of an old friend. She was so excited that she couldn't help herself. She wants to see you immediately."
Liu Shao clapped his hands, "Sure enough, what Mr. said!"
The Xi Ao guard unloaded the burden from his shoulders, spoke not-so-fluent Chinese, and said respectfully, "My lord, put on this cloak and let me lead the way after dark. No one else will be suspicious."
"Little man, prepare immediately." Zheng Yicheng bowed and said goodbye.
When the night fell, Zheng Yicheng and Tan Yue put on their cloaks, dodged the crowd, and walked forward in the dark.Or when a soldier came to interrogate him, he would salute respectfully when he saw the guard, not daring to take another look.Zheng Yicheng and Tan Yue exchanged glances, secretly guessing the identity of this person.
When I came to the Empress Dowager's tent, I didn't wait for the guards to inform me, when I heard the voice of an old woman, "Is it an old man's apprentice? Come in quickly, and let the Ai family have a look."
Zheng Yicheng took off his cloak, revealing the blue-and-white blue straight gown with a high collar and wide rim often worn by Western Wei scholars, prostrating and said, "Craftsman Zheng Yicheng, see Princess Rongxuan."
"Quickly flatten your body and give me a seat. The Ai family hasn't heard this name for decades." Empress Dowager Wu let Zheng Yicheng sit on the west side, and asked herself, "How does Yicheng have the same master-student relationship as Han Lin and Sun Wei?" Friendship? As far as the Ai family knows, the two don't get along very well."
Zheng Yicheng knew that Empress Dowager Wu was in her fifties, but her appearance was only in her early forties, she still had a graceful appearance, she was dressed in black Xiao women's uniform, and a golden phoenix necklace with pearls, which made her look elegant and luxurious.Zheng Yicheng bowed again and replied, "Caomin and the two masters are indeed old, but they were not in the Western Wei Dynasty."
The queen mother heard what Zheng Yicheng said, stood up suddenly and said, "After the great Wei Dynasty destroyed the country, the Ai family sent people to secretly investigate the old ministers, but they found nothing. Later, when they heard that the ministers died for the country, they gave up. Don't lie How can I prove that you are really an old friend?"
Zheng Yicheng bowed again and said, "Caomin dared to come to meet the Queen Mother, it is true. After the Eastern Qi destroyed Wei, all the ministers who did not surrender were sent to the army and punished with hard labor. Seeing that I was young, the gentleman took pity on my helplessness and dictated the art of war to me."
"The son of the fallen minister of the Southern Zhou Dynasty... Are you Zheng Yicheng who was known as a child prodigy when he was young?"
"It's the grass people."
"I still think it's the person with the same name, but I don't want to be a descendant of the Southern Zhou Dynasty..."
"Poor Mrs. Han is over sixty years old, just because he passed on the history of the state of Wei, endured hard labor, and wrote this "Wei Ji" in his spare time based on memory, and died of overwork." Zheng Yicheng said, from the previous preparation He took out a stack of oiled paper-wrapped scrolls from his bundle, all of which were densely written in small script.
The maid took it and handed it to the Empress Dowager Wu. The Empress Dowager looked at it and couldn't help but say with reddened eyes, "It's really Han Xiang's handwriting. Get up, Yicheng, don't kneel and talk like this."
Zheng Yicheng refused to get up, but still knelt and said, "Master Sun was determined to take revenge, and secretly colluded with everyone to carry out an incident. Unfortunately, he failed and was shot to death by random arrows..." When he finished speaking, tears welled up in his eyes.
"How could this be so!" The Empress Dowager Wu also burst into tears when she heard about it.
"Master Sun left suddenly, and there is no legacy to pass on to the grassroots. However, Master Sun has a scar on the left side of his face. He always likes to say that men don't need to care about beauty and ugliness. In the future, they will have beautiful women to accompany them. He also said that life is proud Xu Jinhuan, it’s a pleasure to drink and eat meat, isn’t it?”
"Sure enough, it's General Sun's tone." Empress Dowager Wu asked, wiping her tears, "Since Yicheng is a descendant of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, how can he live with the ministers of Wei who destroyed the Southern Zhou Dynasty without any regrets?"
Zheng Yicheng sighed and said to him, "Caomin is not grass and trees, so naturally there will be regrets. When Zhou died, he was determined to take revenge. But after thinking about it, everyone is doing their duty. If Caomin is in that position, I am afraid it will be the same. The same deeds. Later, we were both captives of the subjugated country, sympathized with each other in the same disease, and the thoughts of separation have gradually diminished."
The queen mother nodded and said, "Yicheng can think about it, very good."
"After the fall of Daxuan, the dynasties have changed. Yesterday the Eastern Qi destroyed Wei, and today the Great Shu destroyed Qi. The result of the vying of the heroes is only suffering for the people."
Empress Dowager Wu wiped away her tears, sat upright and sighed, "Everyone is suffering, and the people are also suffering. You came here with sincerity, but to persuade the Kingdom of Shu to negotiate peace with our country?"
Zheng Yicheng bowed down and said, "The Empress Dowager is wise, it is true. Yicheng deeply feels the sufferings of the people, so he came here to ask the Empress Dowager for orders, and please agree to suspend the army to discuss peace."
Empress Dowager Wu heard the words solemnly, "Although I am the daughter of Wei, I am also the queen mother of Xiyu, and I know the attitudes of the countries in the Central Plains towards Xiyu. When internal turmoil and national power are not strong, I sacrificed one or two families in the name of marriage. Girl, in exchange for a chance to recuperate, when the country is strong and strong, I feel that foreigners are disturbing the border and take the initiative to provoke disputes. Although I love the people deeply, I have to think about the sincerity of the Kingdom of Shu.”
Zheng Yicheng also replied sternly, "The Empress Dowager clearly learned that if you marry relatives, you are appealing to blood relatives. However, facing the temptation of interests, father and son close relatives can still kill each other, let alone only relatives by marriage? But if you do business with each other, each will get what he needs. In exchange for the war horses of Xiao in exchange for the gold, silver, cloth, and household utensils of Dashu, it will benefit both, the people will be spared from the flames of war, and the country will be prosperous and strong, why not do it?"
The Empress Dowager Wu pressed her questions further, revealing sharp and sharp eyes, "Once the Great Shu obtains our war horses and strengthens its military strength, even if it does not invade our country, it will definitely be used to attack other countries. Yicheng just said that he is pleading for the lives of the people. Isn't it contradictory?"
"There are many countries, and there are many disputes. I sincerely wish to assist the Ming Lord, unify the Central Plains as soon as possible, and make the people happy." Zheng Yicheng looked back at the Queen Mother, with a pair of deep and clear autumn eyes, frank and fearless.
Empress Dowager Wu smiled lightly, "So, you really care about the common people."
As Zheng Yicheng spoke, he couldn't help sighing, "The grass people are not speaking for the sages, but they are suffering from the war, and they are tossed and displaced, and they have some emotions. Moreover, when two countries fight each other, there must be winners and losers. It's very detailed, don't wait for the grassroots to explain it clearly."
"Sincerely speaking, Ai's family will consider it carefully. The night is dark and foggy, so please be careful on your return journey." Empress Dowager Wu signaled to see off the guests, and the guards lifted the curtain, just in time to bump into soldiers who were about to enter the tent outside.
The soldier was knocked down and sat on the ground, yelling, "Queen Mother! Something serious has happened! Just now at the state banquet, the envoys of the Kingdom of Shu were all poisoned and fell to the ground!"
These words made everyone turn pale and looked at each other, "How could this be so!?"
☆, (16) Thunder and Dark Clouds - Loyal Dog Attacks Gentle Shou (Slightly Limited)
([-]) thunder and dark clouds
The soldier was knocked down and sat on the ground, yelling, "Queen Mother! Something serious has happened! Just now at the state banquet, the envoys of the Kingdom of Shu were all poisoned and fell to the ground!"
Zheng Yicheng and Tan Yue didn't understand Xiao language, and they didn't know what happened until they heard what the Queen Mother said, and then their faces changed dramatically.Empress Dowager Wu ordered, "Bring two fast horses and send them there."
Tan Yue and Zheng Yicheng discussed immediately, "Special Envoy Liu died. If he was a bodyguard, it would be difficult to understand the truth. The young general wants to meet Li Da Khan in his original capacity, so as to understand the situation."
"I also have this concern, but I'm afraid that Xi Ao will retaliate against him." After all, Tan Yue is an enemy general, and Zheng Yicheng had to be worried when he broke into the enemy camp alone.
Tan Yue was fearless, and said, "Ao Tibetans are martial arts, and heroes are the most important. Mister, change back your clothes and break into the tent with the young general."
The two went back to the tent to change their clothes, and went straight to Wang's tent all the way.As expected, the guards stopped him, so Tan Yue yelled at the king's tent, "I am Tan Yue, the cavalry general of Dashu. I heard that Liu Shao, the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, was poisoned for some reason. I am here to see Lida Khan."
After a while, a Xi Ao general appeared, seeing Tan Yue with a frightened expression on his face, he said something to the guards, and asked Tan Yue and Zheng Yicheng to meet him.
Tan Yue entered the account, led Zheng Yicheng to salute, and said, "The young general Tan Yue was ordered to secretly protect the safety of Special Envoy Liu, and just now he was reported that the special envoy was poisoned, so he came here to meet the Khan. Please forgive me for taking the liberty."
The interpreter translated to Lida Khan, Lida Khan was not angry, but smiled, "General Tan broke into the tent alone, his courage is commendable, I will not make things difficult for you, Mu Dunluo, explain the situation for General Tan, So as not to blame the Shu Kingdom in the future."
Mu Dunluo obeyed and said to the two in Chinese, "Your envoy was having a banquet with the Khan in the tent, but suddenly he vomited and had diarrhea. Before the Khan had time to ask the medical officer to come and consult him, your envoy was gone." Breathing. We'll have to wait for an autopsy to find out why. But it could be food poisoning."
Tan Yue frowned, unwilling to believe it, "I have a banquet with the special envoy of the court, and the diet should be the same. How can it be said that it is food poisoning?"
Mu Dunluo said, "Just because the Khan was afraid that the expensive people would not be used to our food, he specially sent someone to catch the famous chef of your country to cook. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen. The Khan wanted to negotiate peace, and he was deeply afraid of the Shu Kingdom. Because of this, I was so angry that I blamed it!"
Tan Yue shook his head, still doubtful and said, "Drinking at the same banquet, there are two countries' dishes, this is beyond the imagination of young generals."
Mu Dunluo said with a cold face, "This is indeed not a conspiracy against your country. If our country wants to kill you, a few hundred soldiers will do. Why explain it to you here? Besides, it is not only the special envoy who was poisoned, but the other people in your country. The rest of the accompanying people who had food and drink were all vomiting and diarrhea, and they were recuperating in the tents on both sides. The few who had no food and drink were all so frightened that they couldn’t speak.”
Tan Yue still wanted to talk, but saw two soldiers escorting a cook in. Mu Dunluo explained the reason to him, and the cook immediately lay down on the ground and cried bitterly, "I only know that this is a Xiao dog... no, It was eaten by the Ao Tibetan people, and they intentionally cooked it with dirty ingredients. They didn’t know that it was our envoys who ate it, but they harmed their own people. But the ingredients used by the villain will not kill you. Please be careful, my lord, please forgive me!”
Zheng Yicheng and Tan Yue looked at each other, they were not innocent, they were about to speak, suddenly a general from Xi Ao shouted and said something excitedly, all officials from Xi Ao looked at Zheng Yicheng and them.
At this time, Ye Hu Ashina stood up and said, "Qizuo Khan, since Suni witnessed the two men coming galloping on horseback, it can be seen that they are not nearby. He clearly wanted to deceive others, so he left the team. Said Perhaps the poisoning this time is because these two people deliberately planted our country and provoked disputes between the two countries, so General Tan can earn more military exploits like this, right?"
At this point, everyone whispered to each other. After Tan Yue listened to the translation, he yelled loudly, "Your official, don't spit blood on people. The cause of the special envoy's death is unknown, and he speaks like this without evidence. His intentions are different."
Tan Yue went directly to the center of the camp, and stood proudly, "If you want to use motives, King Zuoxian of your country has always opposed the peace talks, and his motive is the highest; or it is possible that King Zuoxian's political opponents want to frame him; The generals of your country are greedy for meritorious service, and are not happy to see peace talks. Everyone present, eating and drinking with the special envoy, but they are safe and sound, are they all suspicious?"
"The two armies are at war, and our country has the upper hand. We just sympathize with the suffering of the people and come here for peace. Your officials don't think about whether this is a conspiracy by the main fighters, but deliberately provoke the two sides to confront each other. Why?"
King Zuoxian said angrily in his poor Chinese, "Although this king hates your country, I wouldn't do such a thing as killing an envoy!" Ashina Panchao and other officials also spoke out their words one after another, and for a while they camped It was filled with the noise of the crowd.
Lida Khan had been sitting quietly watching the situation. Seeing the commotion, he jumped up and said, "What's the noise? People don't know how they died. Maybe it's because of unclean food. Why should everyone just because of one person's words? Self-disruption? Could it be that someone really tampered with the food of the envoys of the Kingdom of Shu, and was guilty of being a thief?"
When the ministers heard Khan's accusation, they fell silent immediately.Xi Ao Khan, dressed in black sable fur, came to Zheng and Tan with tiger steps and said, "General Tan, can you tell me where you two went just now? Otherwise, everyone will be confused, and I'm afraid it will be disadvantageous to you two. "After speaking, he stretched out his hand and waved, and the guards were already holding scimitars and surrounded the two of them.
After listening to Mu Dunluo's translation, Zheng Yicheng had no choice but to reply, "The Caomin have an old relationship with the old officials of the Western Wei Dynasty, and they were summoned by the Empress Dowager, so I asked General Tan to accompany her to meet the Empress Dowager."
"This matter is not difficult to verify." After listening to the explanation, Rita Khan turned his head and ordered the guard Pegasus to ask the queen mother for verification.Then he asked Wu Zuo, "After testing for a long time, what did you find out?"
Wu Zuo replied respectfully, "I would like to report to the Great Khan that the envoy from the Kingdom of Shu probably died because of unclean food and restrained food. The ambassador's stomach contained venison, pumpkin, rabbit meat, mustard greens, beef, ginger and other related ingredients. , and more ingredients were used for cooking, and the profusely respected our country’s imperial Mabao wine, the food poisoning was stimulated, and the envoy of the Kingdom of Shu died because of it.”
Although Zheng Yicheng and the two could not understand Xiao's language, they knew that Wu Zuo was explaining the autopsy.The two glanced at each other and were about to ask a question, but the guard took another step closer.
Hearing Lida Khan say, "In this way, many coincidences caused misfortune. Hurry up and enshrine the ambassador, and send someone to escort him back to the Kingdom of Shu." He turned around and ordered, "Master, please write a book explaining this matter, and present it to the Kingdom of Shu in the coming spring." Hundreds of war horses, expressing our country's apology."
Lida Khan was talking, when he saw the bodyguard who had just brought Zheng and Tan to the Empress Dowager came to identify him, and said, "To the Great Khan, these two people are indeed reminiscing with the Empress Dowager just now. The horse was also a gift from the Empress Dowager." Only then did the guards lift the siege around the two of them, Lida Khan said, "It turns out that the two of you are really honored guests of the Empress Dowager, and they were rude just now, please forgive me."
At this point, the interpreter explained the ins and outs of the incident, and let Zheng and Tan see Liu Shao's body, explaining the poisoning symptoms and inferences.The two listened silently, Lida Khan thought that the two had no doubts, so he sent someone to send Zheng Yicheng and Tan Yue back to the tent to rest.
When the two returned to the tent, a rich meal had been prepared for each other, and a middle-aged servant woman said to the two in fluent Chinese, "This old slave is the queen mother's dowry. The queen mother knows that the two adults He must have been frightened, so he specially ordered this old slave to prepare wine and food, and come to express condolences."
Zheng Yicheng and Zheng Yicheng still had lingering fears, they didn't know whether they should eat this meal or not, the maid seemed to see through their minds, bowed down and said, "The Empress Dowager knows that the two adults must have doubts in their hearts, if the two adults don't dislike it, let the old slave How about trying it first?"
Tan Yue was so hungry that he panicked a long time ago, so he didn't refuse, he clasped his fists and said, "Please!"
The maid inlaid silver with ebony wood, picked a little from each dish, let the two people look at it first, the silver hadn't changed color, and ate the dishes one by one, Zheng Yicheng and Tan Yue saw that the test dishes were not poisonous, so they felt at ease eat.
Zheng Yicheng said to the maid, "The Empress Dowager has a heart, General Tan and I thank you here."
The servant woman sighed and said, "This old slave is also a Han Chinese, and I really don't want the two countries to go to war. It is obviously a good situation for peace negotiations, but this kind of accident happened, it is really frustrating."
Zheng Yicheng looked at the servant woman's expression, and said it with great affection, and sighed, "If everyone in your country thinks like you, then the war will not be able to be fought."
The servant woman said in a low voice, "It's a pity that some people put their own interests before the common people and deliberately provoked the war. The two adults are clearly aware of the details, and they will definitely not blame the good people."
After hearing what the servant girl said, Zheng Yicheng stopped talking.Seeing this, Tan Yue had no choice but to say, "We also hope to have a good peace talk, and I believe the majority of Xi'ao people do the same."
The maid said a lot of words, accompanied the two of them to finish eating, and after packing up the utensils, she bowed and left.Tan Yue said with emotion, "That Queen Mother is a good person, I'm afraid the two countries will fight."
Zheng Yicheng raised his eyebrows and said with a sneer, "Didn't that servant just imply that the murderer is Zuo Xianwang?"
Tan Yue said, "Isn't it?"
Zheng Yicheng still wanted to talk, but he heard someone outside the tent announce that it was Lida Khan who sent someone, so they had to temporarily cover up the topic.The two guards led the interpreter and said, "Khan knew that the two adults were frightened, so he specially sent a gift to make the two of you panic."
Once he waved to the outside, he saw four Xiao beauties entering in a file. They had pretty faces and graceful figures, and they didn't seem to be wearing any clothes under the cloak.
Zheng Yicheng looked at Tan Yue in embarrassment, seeing Tan Yue's eyes staring at the floor, but pretending to be bold and laughing, he said, "Khan's kindness, we appreciate it. It's just that we all have families, and the one in my family I also have a bad temper and a strong temper, if I know what good things I have done outside, I am afraid that I will not only have to kneel down to my abacus when I go back!" As he said, his ears turned red.
Although Zheng Yicheng was not as uncomfortable as Tan Yue, he also felt embarrassed, he echoed and said, "I am the same as General Tan, the one in the family is very strict, so I promised him that I would never mess around."
The two guards listened to the translator's words, muttered for a while, and asked him to translate, "Khan sincerely asked for peace, but he didn't want such things to happen at the banquet. The two adults refused to accept it." Next, are you blaming our country?"
Zheng Yicheng thought to himself, could it be that Xi Ao knew that he and Tan Yue were not married, so these words were just excuses?Seeing what the guards said to those beauties, those beauties immediately took off their cloaks, and sure enough they were not wearing a single thread.The interpreter said, "Don't be suspicious, my lords. There is no place to hide weapons on these beauties. It is purely Khan's kindness. Please accept it with peace of mind!"
Writer's words:
☆, (17) The Dream of the Three Watches Changes - The Loyal Dog Gong Gentle Shou Junwen War
([-]) The dream of the third watch changes
Zheng Yicheng had never seen such a lively and fragrant scene before, he was secretly amazed at the bold style of the Ao Tibetans.He turned his face away in fright, his ears were red, he didn't know where to put his eyes, and the most terrible thing was that his lower body bulged slightly because of the startled glance.
Tan Yue exclaimed, "Girls, hurry up and put on your clothes! This... this is really..." Tan Yue blushed, and hurriedly took out a purse from his arms and said, "I say it's true. Yes, this purse was put on by my family. There is still a knot at the bottom, what is it called "forever knot and one heart"... Khan kindly accepts it. We really have difficulties. We all put on clothes so we can talk. !"
The interpreter pursed his lips and snickered and told everyone, and the women put on their cloaks embarrassingly.It was only then that Tan Yue calmed down and said, "Actually, we have never blamed the Khan of your country for the accident of Special Envoy Liu. Nama Bao wine is usually a health-preserving wine. I don't want it to catalyze the toxicity in the diet. A coincidence among coincidences is beyond anyone's expectation. If Khan really sent someone over, we would send them to the army and act as camp prostitutes after accepting them. It would be a waste of Khan's good intentions. Please, two young generals Convey your meaning so that Khan can feel at ease."
After the two guards listened to the explanation, they asked the interpreter to say, "General Tan has already said so, so we don't have to force it. We will take General Tan's words with us. Please rest early."
After sending the guard and the beauty away, Zheng Yicheng and Tan Yue looked at each other helplessly as if they had finished a scuffle, and laughed at each other.After finally stopping their laughter, they were about to discuss the situation when the two heard commotion outside the camp.It turned out that two children were fighting, and everyone was talking about it, but no one stepped forward to persuade them.
Zheng Yicheng pulled the interpreter and asked, "What happened? What are they talking about? Why is no one persuading me?"
The interpreter replied, "Of the two young men, the taller one is under Zuo Xianwang's subordinates, and the other is under Ashina Panchao's subordinates, but the result of the fight was the death of Special Envoy Liu."
When Tan Yue heard this topic again, he leaned over and asked, "What are they arguing about? Let's hear it."
The interpreter explained one by one, "The accusation of the short man was a bad idea from Zuo Xianwang. He could arrest the cooks of the Han people to cook. Ashina only followed the advice, but was blamed by Lida Khan for causing food poisoning. people."
"The tall one retorted, saying that it was Ashina Panchao who took the initiative to ask Zuo Xianwang for advice, but now that something happened, everyone poured dirty water on Zuo Xianwang. In fact, Zuo Xianwang was wronged."
Tan Yue said with a smile, "It turns out that they are pushing each other's responsibilities, what do everyone think?"
The interpreter frowned and said, "It's hard to say. After all, it is well known that King Zuo Xian is in charge of the battle. More than half of the people think that King Zuo Xian is the murderer; another [-]% think it was an accident; and two people think that , this was deliberately framed by someone.”
Tan Yue turned to Zheng Yicheng and said, "In the end, even the Xiao people couldn't figure out the situation. What advice does Mr. Zheng have?"
Zheng Yicheng murmured and said, "General Tan, let's go back to the tent and talk." After returning to the tent, Zheng Yicheng pushed aside the others and whispered to Tan Yue, "After we returned to the tent, we encountered three things, what does General Tan think? "
Tan Yue straightened his mind and said, "First the Queen Mother came to apologize, and then Lida Khan sent the beautiful woman, and also came to apologize. In the end, the two children fought, one representing Ashina, and the other representing King Zuoxian. This... ...Should be the result of deliberate actions, right?"
Zheng Yicheng nodded and said, "I think so too. Empress Dowager Wu and Lida Khan both support the peace talks. They are afraid that the accident of Special Envoy Liu will cause changes, so they come to appease you. Ashina Panchao and Zuo Xianwang Afraid of taking responsibility, I found two children and purposely staged this scene, otherwise, how could ordinary fights happen right under our noses?"
Tan Yue puzzled and said, "If everyone wants to negotiate a peace, but is afraid of being involved, why did Special Envoy Liu die? Could it be because of diet?"
Zheng Yicheng said with a sneer, "General, do you really believe that the saying that alcohol induces food to overcome toxicity?"
Tan Yue said, "I can't see any flaws. Lida Khan showed his sincerity, and the reaction of Zuo Xianwang and Ashina didn't seem to be acting."
Zheng Yicheng shook his head and said, "Maybe they really have the sincerity to negotiate a peace, but there are many doubts about this matter. How can there be a reason for using two types of dishes for a state banquet? There must be a conspiracy. What the cook said is true or not, whether food poisoning can really kill you , is only a one-sided statement.”
After listening to Zheng Yicheng's analysis, Tan Yue also became suspicious, "You and I don't understand Xiao language, how can we find out? Besides, I'm not very familiar with Xiao court officials, who do you think is the most suspect?"
Zheng Yicheng said, "King Zuoxian has always led the battle, and he is the most suspected. However, he also knows that he is the most likely to attract people's suspicion. It is hard to say whether he will really do such a reckless move. What's more, he just tried to clear himself up. If he really wanted to challenge If there is a dispute and another fight, why bother?
If what the child said is true, the practice of different dishes at the same table should have something to do with Ashina's dish.Such an arrangement is indeed against the conventions, but if he intends to manipulate, such means are too rough.According to common sense, it is reasonable to avoid causing doubts by deliberately poisoning.But it’s also possible to know we think so and act the other way. "
Tan Yue said, "In this way, both of these two people are suspicious. It should be that the Queen Mother and Lida Khan have peace talks, but the people below are deliberately provoking disputes out of self-interest. If we can monitor these two people, There may be some unexpected gains, but unfortunately we cannot speak well, so there is no way to find out."
Zheng Yicheng said indifferently, "Assuming that Special Envoy Liu's death was indeed due to a conspiracy, not an accident. After General Tan finds out the truth, what is he going to do?"
Tan Yue said angrily, "Of course I want them to hand over the murderer to sacrifice the spirit of Special Envoy Liu!"
Zheng Yicheng raised his eyebrows and asked, "General Tan thinks that it is really possible for Xi Ao to hand over Zuo Xianwang or Ashina's pan? If Xi Ao refuses to hand over, will our country have to use the army again? Isn't this in their favor? ?”
Tan Yue was stunned for a while, then said dejectedly, "In order to discuss the overall situation of peace, I still have to endure it."
Zheng Yicheng said helplessly, "In my opinion, it's better not to pursue the matter any further, and treat the death of Special Envoy Liu as an accident, which is the best for Dashu."
After hearing this, Tan Yue felt a little depressed, walked back and forth in the tent with his hands on his hips, got tired of seeing Zheng Yicheng, and then said, "I'm tired, sir, please rest in peace, let me take you out Account!"
Zheng Yicheng asked Tan Yue's guards to return to the account, and the two rested separately.Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, half asleep and half awake, Zheng Yicheng heard someone say in his ear, "Wake up quickly! We're out of the water!"
"Sister-in-law, wake up!" Zheng Yicheng opened his eyes and saw that the camp had already been surrounded by fire, and the smoke was choking. The Xiao soldiers beside him spoke fluent Chinese and pushed him gently.
"Sister-in-law?" Zheng Yicheng's mind was still in a state of confusion, he unconsciously grabbed the fur coat, and before he could put it on, he was pushed out of the tent by the soldier.Looking back, flames had burst out of the tents, and several tents were burned by the flames. A group of Xi'ao soldiers hurriedly removed the tents and put out the fire with sand, and everyone was in a mess.
"Is my sister-in-law alright?" When Zheng Yicheng looked back, Tan Yue was already beside him, as well as the two Xiao soldiers who rescued him from the fire just now.
Zheng Yicheng took a look, and was surprised that the two people had exactly the same appearance, only the one on the left had a small mole at the corner of his right eye, and his eyes were piercing.He couldn't help but blush when he thought of Yang Bangjie handing him a pair of talisman cards before leaving, saying that he would ask friends from the world to take care of him.I really don't know how Yang Bangjie told outsiders that he called himself sister-in-law like that.
Zheng Yicheng clasped his fists and said, "Thank you two heroes for saving us, otherwise we would have died in the fire cave. I don't know what to call you two?"
Sure enough, the two men took out their talismans to test each other, and the one with the mole on the corner of his eye said, "We can't bear the word hero. My name is He Chengfeng and his name is He Chengyun.
