"Fire Crow?!"
When the two sergeants heard Yan Crow's words, their expressions changed greatly. Of course they knew that there was a tradition in the Southern Territory, and all the chiefs of the big tribes would be named after their tribes.
It is different from the fact that all the lords of the world in the past dynasties will be called emperors.
The two words "Yan Crow" are not only a name, but also a bloodline inheritance.
To explain in the words of the Southern Territory, the names Yan Crow, Shi Zun, and Thunder Lion each represent a mysterious power, and the person who inherits such a name is the messenger of this mysterious power in the human world.
"It turns out to be Chief Yanyao. I, the prince, couldn't see it at first glance. I'm really ashamed. Please give me a seat!" Prince Lin Tianrong looked at Yanyao in front of him, and beads of sweat welled up on his forehead.
However, there was still a faint smile on his face.
The middle-aged man in front of him was Yan Crow, which also meant that his life was held in Yan Crow's hands. At such a close distance, there was no hope of running away.
However, he really didn't expect that one of the dignified chiefs of the six major tribes in the southern region would come to his camp alone to deliver a message.
What is the purpose
"No need, I'm here today just to deliver a message. His Highness the Prince will give me a reply after reading it, and I will leave immediately." Yan Crow waved his hand and continued to hold up the animal skin in his hand without moving.
Prince Lin Tianrong smiled again.
He didn't say anything, just winked at the two sergeants.
The two sergeants reacted immediately. One sergeant quickly took the animal skin from Yanyao's hand, held it above his head with both hands, and handed it to Prince Lin Tianrong.
The other sergeant quickly exited the camp.
Not long after, there was a noise outside the camp tent, and then, countless figures flashed outside the camp tent under the light of the fire.
Yan Crow still stood motionless on the spot, as if he had not seen these things at all, his face was calm, and his breath was as steady as a mountain.
Prince Lin Tianrong also breathed a sigh of relief at this time. He took the animal skin handed over by the sergeant, shook it gently, and spread it out flat.
only…
When Prince Lin Tian Zhacai glanced at the animal skin, his expression froze slightly, and then a faint cold light flashed in his slender eyes.
"Call Mr. Su in. Also, let's clear out everyone at the door." After looking at the animal skins, Prince Lin Tianrong looked at the Yan Crow in front of him, hesitated, and finally said to the sergeant.
"This... His Royal Highness, you are alone..."
"What are you talking about? Can't you understand my prince's order?"
"Yes!" The sergeant nodded, and then quickly exited the camp.
Almost in the blink of an eye after the sergeant exited the camp, the curtain of the camp was opened again, and Su Qing, wearing a black court uniform, walked in.
"His Royal Highness, I have met Chief Yancrow, and I am the acting envoy of Daxia Royal Academy, Su Qing!" Su Qing bowed to Prince Lin Tianrong very respectfully, then put his fist on his chest and said to The flaming crow bowed slightly.
Yanya looked at Su Qing's salute with a slightly surprised expression. Of course he could see that Su Qing used the etiquette of the Southern Territory, and it was also the etiquette of their Yancrow tribe.
"Master Su, you're welcome. Although I am a chief in the Southern Territory, the Southern Territory is a vassal state of Daxia. Master Su does not need to be a lower official." Yan Crow nodded and returned a salute to Su Qing.
"Chief Yanyao is too humble. Although the Southern Territory is our vassal state of Daxia, anyone who really understands knows that Daxia and the Southern Territory have always been about 'brotherhood', advancing and retreating together. So, I will The title of official is natural."
"Haha... Mr. Su is so polite!" Yan Crow nodded, but had no intention of continuing to be polite, and just waited quietly.
"Master Su, look at this letter." Prince Lin Tianrong also glanced at Su Qing at this time, and then pointed to the animal skin on the desk in front of him.
"Yes!" Su Qing nodded, respectfully walked to the desk, carefully held the animal skin with both hands, looked at it carefully twice, then put it back on the desk, and then returned to its original position.
"What do you think, Mr. Su?" Prince Lin Tianrong asked when he saw Su Qing retreating to his original position.
"Southern Territory and Daxia have always had a relationship between fish and water. Fish cannot leave the water, and water cannot be without fish. So, no matter what conditions the Southern Territory proposes, we should try our best to satisfy them." Su Qing thought for a while and answered road.
"Yes." Prince Lin Tianrong nodded, and then looked at Yan Crow: "I agree to your conditions in the Southern Territory."
"Thank you, Your Highness. The 50,000 Daxia soldiers in Dingshan Pass are imprisoned in the two tribes of Yanya and Shizun. They will be returned to His Highness at noon tomorrow." Yanyao didn't seem to have much answer to Prince Lin Tianrong. accident.
"No need, I will write an order now. You should give this order to the deputy generals at Dingshan Pass and ask them to rush to Hanyuan Tribe to join me at once!"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has great military prowess and swiftness. Yan Yao, on behalf of my king and the Crown Prince, would like to thank you together!" After Yan Ya heard this, he immediately bowed and saluted.
…
After a while.
Yan Ya took the order and left the camp, but Su Qing did not leave, and Prince Lin Tianrong also had no intention of letting Su Qing leave.
"How do Su Qing think this matter should be arranged?" Prince Lin Tianrong looked at Su Qing below.
"Judging from the letter from the Crown Prince of Nanyu, the Crown Prince and Princess Shan Yu have already joined Xinghou, Nangong Hao and others on their way to the Tieqiu Tribe, and they should be almost at the Tieqiu Tribe now. So, , which also shows that what happened in the palace of the Holy Mountain City mentioned in the prince's letter should be true. In other words... the peace talks between the Southern Territory and Daxia are due to Fang Zhengzheng." Su Qing nodded. said.
"That's right, but what this prince didn't understand is that since the Crown Prince of the Southern Territory came to us for peace talks because of Fang Zhengzheng, why did the condition offered be that Fang Zhengzheng be punished and then handed over to the Southern Territory? Come and handle it?" Prince Lin Tianrong looked confused.
"Actually, no matter what the Crown Prince of Southern Territory is thinking, it may not be a bad thing for us." Su Qing did not directly answer Crown Prince Lin Tianrong's words, but continued.
"How to say?"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, you will probably not forget the messenger you sent to the Han Yuan Tribe to deliver the Crown Prince's order, right?"
"Well, the prince has made preparations for this matter in advance."
"Yes, His Highness the Crown Prince did hold a hand. Even if he returned to the court, no one would dare to blame His Highness the Crown Prince for this matter. However, Fang Zhengzheng would not think so."
"Fang Zhengzheng... Haha, could it be that this prince is still afraid that a little boy with no power or responsibility will fail to reach the fourth rank?" Prince Lin Tianrong smiled slightly, with some disdain.
"His Royal Highness, do you think that if Fang Zhengzheng returns to Yanjing City, he will be just a small fourth-level official with no rights or responsibilities?" Su Qing asked softly.
"What do you mean?"
"The Crown Prince of the Southern Territory mentioned the Holy Order in Fang Zhengzheng's hand in the letter. If my guess is correct, the Holy Order should be genuine. However, its purpose is not related to matters in the Southern Territory, but to the Holy Order. The Ministry of Rites has connections. Now that the Minister of Rites has died at the hands of the Crown Prince of the Southern Region, and Fang Zhengzheng has made great contributions to the friendship between countries, then... "
"A small fourth-level official can jump four levels in a row and secure the position of Minister of Rites?" Prince Lin Tianrong heard this and probably knew what Su Qing meant, but he still didn't want to believe it.
"With Fang Zhengzheng's qualifications, it should be impossible to sit directly as the Minister of Rites. However, if he reaches the third rank, he will jump two levels in a row, and then take charge of the responsibilities of the Minister of Rites as the Minister of Rites. After a year, he will find another It is not necessarily impossible for him to be promoted to Minister of Rites as an excuse."
"so what?"
"Of course a Minister of Rites does not pose any threat to the Crown Prince, but what if Fang Zhengzheng turns to Prince Duan because of his hatred for His Highness the Crown Prince?"
"Fang Zhengzheng has always been at odds with his sixth brother, how could he fall in love with his sixth brother?"
"Everything in the world is unpredictable. His Highness the Crown Prince is talking about the current situation, but as long as it is a situation, there will definitely be changes. Fang Zhengzheng was an idler before, but once he ascends to the court, takes charge of the Ministry of Rites, and has real power, who dares to say He will definitely not change, and His Royal Highness, don’t forget that Fang Zhengzheng is a villain, and he is also a villain who is greedy for money!"
"Snapped!"
With a crisp sound, the cup made of jade was thrown to the ground and exploded like a green flower suddenly shattered by frost.
"I will never allow this to happen. If you falsely pass on the Holy Order, this prince alone can punish him to death!" Prince Lin Tianrong's eyes turned cold and he clenched his fists.
"I guess... not possible." Su Qing shook his head.
"Why not?"
"Although Fang Zhengzheng falsely conveyed the Holy Order, he allowed the Southern Territory to negotiate peace with Daxia because of it. No matter how you look at it, this is a great achievement. Even if you have to be punished, it will definitely not lead to death!"
"What do you mean, my prince is unable to punish Fang Zhengzheng for his crimes? Do you have to secretly send someone to kidnap Fang Zhengzheng and send him to the Crown Prince of the Southern Territory?"
"That's not necessary. Not many people know the truth about what happened in the Southern Territory King's Palace. In fact, we don't need to know the truth."
"You don't have to know the truth? What do you mean?"
"What if, after we read the letter from the Crown Prince of the South Territory, we think... The Minister of Rites has reached an intention to negotiate peace with the King of the South Territory. Fang Zhengzheng suddenly broke in and deliberately falsely passed on the Holy Order in order to gain credit. He killed the loyal Minister of Rites with his own hands and took the credit in his own name, what will be the result...?"
"Hahaha... Su Qing, Su Qing, fortunately you are not the Sixth Brother. Otherwise, with your eloquence that confuses right and wrong, I should be very careful about you, a little fourth grade!" Prince Lin Tianrong listened. At this point, his expression froze slightly, and then he burst into laughter.
"Haha..." Su Qing's body trembled, as if he thought of something. However, he soon regained his composure, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Okay, I'll do as you say! I don't know how this Fang Zhengzheng offended the Crown Prince of the Southern Territory. However, if I punish him for this crime and then hand him over to the Southern Territory, I guess even my father knows about it. If you don’t, you won’t blame me, but you will say that I was kind-hearted and didn’t kill this guy on the spot!”
…
The southern region is one mile away from the Tieqiu tribe.
Black shadows shuttled through the mountains and forests, their routes were extremely hidden, but their speeds were extremely fast, like meteors.
At the front of the team, figures wearing animal skins and rattan armor led the way, while at the back of the team, sergeants wearing bright armor followed closely.
Shan Ling's eyes were fixed on the looming giant black fortress in front of him, his fists clenched, and his expression looked a little anxious.
Princess Shanyu, on the other hand, frowned slightly and kept opening and closing her lips. She looked like she had something on her mind but didn't know how to say it.
"Sister, are you still thinking about the condition that third brother made to Daxia?" Shan Ling gestured to the several chiefs of the big tribes who were surrounding him with his hand, and then asked in a low voice.
When the chiefs of several large tribes saw Shan Ling's gesture, they immediately dispersed. A faint aura lit up on each person's body, blocking the surrounding space as if forming a huge barrier.
"Although that guy is a bit shameless, he is still a fourth-grade court official in Daxia after all. Moreover, he is the top of the literary list in the imperial examination and the top of both the imperial examination..."
"There is no reason for Daxia to disagree with this matter. The lives of 50,000 sergeants are changed for one person. Does my sister think that Daxia is not even willing to show this sincerity?"
"this… "
"Don't worry, sister, they will definitely agree. Fang Zhengzheng will be handed over to you when the time comes. Although he slapped you, if you can submit to my Southern Territory and work for my Southern Territory, it is not completely unforgivable. ... But if he is unwilling, you must kill him with your own hands to prevent him from returning to Daxia."
"Want to kill him?"
"Of course, this Fang Zhengzheng is young and has already reached the realm of Huiguang. Fang Zhengzheng is in Daxia. We in the Southern Territory want to look for opportunities to become emperor in the future... I'm afraid there will be some trouble. Moreover, the most important thing is that I I have asked Xing Yuanguo of the Zhenguo Mansion and found out that they have no agreement with Fang Zhengzheng at all. This means that all these actions were guessed by Fang Zhengzheng. I am afraid that I will not be able to find anyone with such a mind in the Southern Territory. One that can rival it!"
"Third brother, haven't you given up on becoming emperor yet?" When Princess Shan Yu heard Shan Ling's words, her body trembled slightly, and her expression was obviously surprised.
"Sister, you don't have to worry about this matter. We'll wait until the current siege is resolved. Our Southern Territory can't really be a vassal state of Daxia forever, right? I just ordered the release of 50,000 people from Dingshan Pass. The defenders, but Dingshan Pass is still in our hands in the Southern Territory!" When Shan Ling said this, there was a firm light in his eyes.
Princess Shan Yu did not speak any more, but her fists were slightly clenched and her brows were furrowed, looking extremely entangled. (To be continued.)
