Standing beside the wrestler was a man with a big shoulders and a round waist. He was naked in the twelfth lunar month of winter, and his body was much bigger than Chang Liujun.
"good!"
When someone was tossed to the ground, Cai Yan laughed and clapped his hands first, and the rest of the officials nodded in agreement with Mu Kuangda.
The Yuan envoy nodded to Cai Yan, and Cai Yan rewarded the victorious warrior with a glass of wine, and the warrior stepped forward to thank Cai Yan.
"I've waited for so long," said the messenger, "I finally got to see His Majesty and His Royal Highness's golden face. After returning to China, I can make a good compliment in front of the clan."
"You have come from a long way to celebrate the emperor's birthday, I am naturally happy." Li Jianhong replied, "I had not decided to move the capital before, so it was too late to meet you."
Duan Ling and Muqing went down the corridor and walked into the garden. There were many flowers and trees in the garden, and Muqing had to go inside, so Duan Ling pulled Muqing's sleeve and signaled that it was all right here. . The Heijia Army was guarded outside, and when he saw the two approaching, he was about to drive people away, but Xie You came from the other end of the corridor and made a gesture to the Heijia Army guard.
The two were able to stand behind the bushes and listen to the conversation inside, and across the bushes, they could see Wu Du who was in a daze ten steps away.
Cai Yan opened his mouth and said, "I read the letter last time, but I was involved in political affairs, so I didn't reply to the letter. Now that I have an oral order, I took it back with you."
The messenger hurriedly replied: "This is very good, the prince of our country has instructed, in any case, on the day of His Royal Highness's birthday, send the congratulatory message and ask for your reply."
"What congratulations?" Cai Yan smiled, "Batu still misses me."
"The prince said that it is thousands of miles away." The messenger said earnestly, "but he is also in the north of our country, and today is celebrating the prince's birthday to commemorate the friendship of the former classmates in Mingtang."
Cai Yan smiled gently, sighed, and shook his head.
The messenger also said: "The prince specially prepared a kind of food, called 'Cook Dog', and I must give it to His Highness today."
Cai Yan's smile froze instantly.
"You don't eat dog meat?" an official asked.
These words were quite inexplicable, and everyone present could not understand the meaning of the messenger, but the messenger observed Cai Yan's face, smiled slightly, and said, "Indeed, we do not eat dog meat, dogs are our faithful friends, in order to commemorate the dog's treatment of us The purpose is to knead the dough into the vegetable juice, steam it into a dog shape, distribute it, let the people eat it, and get a good fortune."
Duan Ling: "..."
These words were definitely said by the envoy of the Batu Sect. I just don't know what Cai Yan's face was like at this time. The fire couldn't be contained in the paper. Some things will always be known. Duan Ling not only found it funny, but also felt that Batu's anger from thousands of miles away was about to rush in front of Cai Yan. Only then did he teach the messenger to say such vicious words to stimulate Cai Yan, whether it was a threat or a mockery. I don't know.
"Please come." The messenger raised his hand.
The servant held two plates with colorful dough in the shape of a dog-shaped cake, and placed them in front of Cai Yan. Cai Yan's face was really blue and white, and he forced a smile: "I have a heart."
Everyone thought it was funny, only Lang Junxia knew Cai Yan's nickname, and Wu Du had a little guess. Lang Junxia turned his head at this moment and gave Wu Du a meaningful look, but Wu Du ignored him, just. Glancing at the flowers opposite, I suddenly saw Duan Ling who was poking his head behind him.
"The etiquette of Yuan people is really interesting." Cai Yanchao said to Li Yanqiu, "When I was in Beijing, Boer Chijin was always very enthusiastic."
Li Yanqiu nodded, and the messenger said, "The prince really wants to ask for a personal letter from His Highness to comfort his love."
As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed, thinking that this barbarian learned to speak Chinese and used the wrong words. Cai Yan heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Since you say that, let's use pen and ink."
Lang Junxia stepped forward and said, "It's cold in the sky, so you don't have to do it yourself, the minister is willing to write it on your behalf."
The emissary of Yuan Ren thought for a while, and just as he was about to speak, Lang Junxia said to him, "After years of separation, I also miss your noble son, and now I am eighteen years old, do you know if you have ever been married?"
"The prince went abroad to fight for the Khan." The messenger said, "It is the grandson of the Khan, who is highly valued, and he has not said his relatives yet."
Lang Junxia first saluted Li Yanqiu and Cai Yan, sat aside, took the pen and ink and began to write a letter. Cai Yan casually said a few words of greeting, and Lang Junxia wrote down that it was nothing more than a famous thing back then.
Duan Ling listened from behind the flowers, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, he couldn't see the expression of the messenger, but he knew that Batu had already noticed that Cai Yan was impersonating himself, but he didn't know how he guessed it. After a while, the messenger picked up some famous things to talk about, and conveyed Batu's words, talking about the master of the famous hall, Helianbo and others. There was something in the words, but Cai Yan answered them without any flaws.
"My prince still asked, I don't know if His Highness ever saw Zongzhen." The messenger asked again.
"I was almost taken by him to Beijing to read as a companion." Cai Yan replied with a smile, sighed again, and said, "Fate is messing with people. If he really went, maybe Dad would still be there and everyone would be fine."
As soon as those words came out, everyone fell silent.
"Your Majesty?" Mu Jinzhi said softly.
"Rong'er." Li Yanqiu said, "Don't take this matter to heart, how many times have you said it?"
"Yes." Cai Yan had to answer.
Duan Ling listened quietly behind the flowers, with mixed feelings in his heart for a while. When he raised his eyes, he looked at Wu Du through the gap between the flowers and saw Wu Du was looking at him with tenderness in his eyes.
The messenger said, "The prince would like to ask another question, whether His Highness likes him more, or does he like Yelu Sect."
Everyone couldn't help laughing and laughing. They all felt that this question was very funny. Cai Yan said to Li Yanqiu: "Everyone in Yuan is so straightforward."
"It seems that Yelu Zongzhen and Bo'er Chijin are often jealous for you." Li Yanqiu joked, "The popularity is very good."
Cai Yan hurriedly said that he didn't dare, and replied to the messenger, "Of course it's better to be closer to your son."
Mu Kuangda's expression changed and he coughed, but Cai Yan thought he couldn't hear it, and then said to the messenger, "You really don't know the whereabouts of your sword of inheritance. If you can find it in the future, it will definitely be returned. Uluo Hou Mu, include this sentence in the letter."
After Lang Junxia finished writing the letter, he handed it over to Cai Yan. Cai Yan took the seal handed over by the attendant and affixed the seal at the place where it was signed.
Cai Yan asked again, "What else do you want to say to me?"
The messenger pondered for a moment and looked around, as if he wanted to say something. At that moment, Duan Ling always felt that the messenger had plans, but Li Yanqiu said, "The weather is cold and the days are short, so you should go back to the palace early, come over at night, and talk to you. ."
Cai Yan hurriedly responded, Li Yanqiu immediately got up, everyone respectfully sent off, Cai Yan sent Li Yanqiu and Mu Jinzhi away, only standing without taking their seats, glanced at the messenger, and an entourage behind him stepped forward, it was the newcomer Feng, said to the messenger, "Anything else? Your Highness is gone too."
As soon as Li Yanqiu left, the messenger seemed to have disrupted his plan. Cai Yan said, "There is still something else to do. Talk to the shepherd, and talk to a few adults. It's the same."
The messenger looked at the assassins below and said, "My prince still wants to play wrestling with His Highness again."
"What?" The impatient expression on Cai Yan's face was obvious, but he suddenly became suspicious. For fear of some trick, he glanced at the servants of the Yuan Ren first, suspecting that Batu was following in disguise—it's not impossible.
Cai Yan was suspicious, still looking at the entourage of the Yuanren messenger, and said, "He didn't come, what's the way?" At the same time, he was ready for Batu to suddenly appear.
Fortunately, the messenger replied with a smile: "So? Did His Highness agree?"
Duan Ling thought to himself, Cai Yan, you idiot, Bo Erchijin can treat you like this without showing up. I really don't know whether you are sitting in that position, whether it is a blessing or a curse.
Cai Yan's heart was in chaos, and he felt that he could easily be caught by anything he said. Fortunately, Mu Kuangda smiled and said, "Since this is the case, I will send out their respective sons to replace the prince and the prince of your country, and have a good fight? It's better to go back separately, you don't have to stand here in the cold weather, you are old, and you are not as young as you who grew up in the north."
The messenger said, "That's exactly what I meant. The first warrior of our country, Amugu, went out to fight for the prince. I just don't know which warrior of the state of Chen is?"
Everyone didn't speak, what was the joke, wanting to play monkey tricks with a reckless wrestler? Simply insulting.
Duan Ling knew what the envoy was going to say next, "Chen country is so big, no one dares to wrestle with our warriors" and so on, what Batu thought in his head, he couldn't be more familiar with it.
"Which warrior?" Cai Yan felt flustered and restless when he stayed here.
"Changliu-Jun." Mu Kuangda said, and Changliu-Jun was about to respond, but Wu Du stepped forward and said, "I will replace the Crown Prince with your country's warriors to learn about kung fu."
Duan Ling's heart suddenly lifted, Mu Qing could not laugh or cry, and looked at Duan Ling, but Duan Ling knew that "His Royal Highness" in Wu Du's mouth actually referred to him, but Not referring to Cai Yan, in Wu Du's eyes, the real protagonist of today's birthday celebration should be Duan Ling, who was standing behind the flowers and never showed up.
"Wu Du's injury has not healed." Zheng Yan said lazily, "I'll do it."
"Don't bother you two." Lang Junxia nodded to Cai Yan.
"That's it." Cai Yan thought about it in his heart and said, "Wu Qing's injury is not yet healed, why don't you just..."
Wu Du, however, ignored the crowd and drew out the blazing light sword at his waist. There was a sound of the sword being unsheathed, and the crowd fell silent for a moment.
Mu Kuangda exclaimed: "Wu Du!"
Seeing Wu Du's provocation, the other warrior's expression instantly changed.
