The delicate young man, dressed in a hazy moon-white costume, was like a charm in the mountains, instantly fascinated the Sixth Prince's mind.
"His Royal Highness." Being reminded by his subordinates, the Hun prince with a full head of braids came back to his senses and sat down in his seat, but his eyes did not leave the boy opposite for a moment.
Chen Ziqi was a little unhappy at being seen, and this barbarian was too rude. The Huns' eyes were lighter in color than those of the Central Plains, and looking at him so stubbornly gave him the illusion of being stared at by wolves.
"Who is he?" The sixth prince pointed at the person opposite him with his chin, and asked the eunuch who was pouring wine beside him.
"Go back to His Royal Highness, that is King Jian, the seventh prince of my Dazhang." The eunuch replied respectfully.
"What's his name?" The sixth prince asked bluntly.
"Prince, the royal family of the Central Plains, you can't ask your name directly, you have to avoid it." The deputy beside him reminded in a low voice.
After speaking, Emperor Tiande came and greeted everyone to open the table.
The sixth prince looked at Emperor Tiande in the stands, then looked at the boy opposite, and stroked his bushy beard. Also a brother of the royal family, this King Jane is much better-looking than the emperor.
On the surface, the Huns came to pay tribute. The deputy envoy read out the skins and medicinal materials they presented, three carts of skins and one cart of medicinal materials, which were pitifully small. Emperor Tiande's face was a little unsightly, and the prime minister asked for the emperor: "Is this the only tribute to the Huns
"Your Majesty the Emperor of Dazhang, you also know that this year's winter came very early, snow fell on the grasslands in August, and we couldn't hunt at all. These are all we can come up with, and there is still no food to eat in the spring. Here, I hope His Majesty the Emperor can generously give us more food than in previous years." The deputy envoy stood in the center of the hall, speaking neither humbly nor arrogantly, there was no hint of begging in his words.
Emperor Tiande lowered his eyes and said nothing. The sixth prince over there sat with a golden sword and raised his glass to toast to Emperor Tiande. The loud voice echoed clearly in the hall, "There are many tribes on the grassland, and they don't completely obey. The order of the King of Qiulin. If there is not enough food, the villains at the border may harass the people of Dazhang, which is not what the King of Qiulin does not want to see."
Qiulin is the surname of the Hun royal family today. The Xiongnu lived on nomadic herding and were divided into many tribes. In the early years, they were still scattered sand. A hundred years ago, the Qiulin tribe unified the grasslands. All tribes must obey Qiulin's orders and respect him as their king.
The sixth prince said these words, making it clear that he was threatening to go to the Dazhang border to burn, kill and loot without giving food. Emperor Tiande's complexion became unpleasant, but he still managed not to lose his temper, "The matter of food, we will discuss it another day. Today's feast, and drink 300 cups."
As soon as he saw it, he took it away, and the sixth prince didn't say more, and raised his glass at Emperor Tiande, but there was a trace of contempt in his eyes.
Chen Ziqi pouted, how could this guy Tiande be so cowardly
After three rounds of drinking, the singing and dancing came to an end, the group of Huns looked at each other, and the deputy envoy came out again, saluting to Emperor Tiande: "Your Majesty the Emperor of Dazhang, the old Qiulin King is about to abdicate, and the new Qiu Lin is about to abdicate. King Lin is about to ascend the throne, I wonder if Your Majesty can give us a new queen."
This is to kiss.
Chen Ziqi frowned slightly. In the early years, when Dazhang was very powerful, the Huns would send the princess to the palace as a concubine in order to please Dazhang, but now they want Dazhang's princess to go to the grassland.
Emperor Tiande looked at the Xiongnu's pride, and couldn't help feeling a little depressed, and provocatively said: "I don't know which prince will inherit the throne, so I can choose the princess according to the age of the prince."
The sixth prince on this mission is the son of Queen Qiulin, who is most likely to inherit the throne. But at the same time, he has five brothers who are brave and good at fighting. Among them, the second prince is the first warrior in the grasslands, and the third prince is the general of the Shenjian who holds a lot of military power. The two of them have a very high status among the Huns. The Sixth Prince is a great threat.
"It doesn't matter. Now I want to marry my father. When my father goes to sleep, this princess will become the next queen." The sixth prince sneered.
"What!" the ministers exclaimed, and the hall fell into a buzzing discussion.
"This... is simply immoral!" said the prime minister, shaking his beard. People in the Central Plains pay attention to ethical principles, and have never heard of the fact that a father-in-law can also give his daughter-in-law to his son when he dies.
Emperor Tiande was so choked that he couldn't speak for a long time, and put the wine glass on the table with a bang, "The matter of marriage will not be discussed until the new king ascends the throne."
"Then, can I use this prince as a candidate for marriage," the sixth prince said, pointing at Chen Ziqi opposite him with his sturdy fingers, "I am open to people in the desert, and both men and women are welcome."
Chen Ziqi, who was secretly feeding the little red bird in his arms, was stunned and looked up at the greedy sixth prince.
The sixth prince saw Chen Ziqi looking over, only to find that he had a pair of enticing peach eyes, with a touch of pink at the end of his eyes, very cute, and couldn't help but say, "This prince is much prettier than the princess. "
Chen Ziqi grinded his back molars, this dreadlocked apprentice, who dared to tease Laozi in public, squinted his eyes and smiled and said: "The sixth prince has taken a fancy to this king, and this king is very honored. Although this king is more A woman who likes delicate and energetic, like the sixth prince, would also like to try it. Unfortunately, the prince can't pass on the line to this king, so I'm afraid he can only be a side concubine."
The Huns were stunned for a moment, this meant that the sixth prince had to marry, how could this happen. The deputy envoy quickly stood up and tried to explain that he wanted the prince to marry him, not their prince, but because Zhongyuan didn't speak very neatly, he couldn't tell when he was in a hurry.
Emperor Tiande was naturally happy when he saw the Huns being shriveled, and he followed suit: "Old Seven, this is your fault. The sixth prince has a noble status, so how can he be a concubine. I call the sixth prince the righteous concubine of King Jian. , as for the succession of the lineage, you can leave it to the side concubine as much as possible."
"Tweet!" Chen Ziqi responded with a smile, but the little red bird in his arms gave up and pecked his chest twice. Chen Ziqi twisted his body, trying to avoid the pointed mouth, but the little red bird was still angry, and took a peck on the sensitive little cherry, which made him almost scream.
After a while, Chen Ziqi couldn't help getting up and retire, "My brother is not feeling well, please forgive me."
The courtiers thought that the prince was attracted by the Xiongnu's popularity, and Emperor Tiande rarely stood by his younger brother's side and waved his hand to let him leave first.
The sixth prince stared at Chen Zi Qi Jinshou's slender back, a gleam of fire appeared in his eyes, clenched the wine glass in his hand, and took a sip. The beauty has a strong temperament, a poisonous mouth, and is full of energy! Get him anyway.
After the banquet, the sixth prince met with Emperor Tiande privately and pushed a deerskin bag in front of the emperor. Emperor Tiande opened it and saw a wooden bow. He said that it was not a good bow. It did not require manpower to draw the bow.
The Xiongnu attendant on the side picked up the crossbow, and shot an arrow "whoosh" against the solid wood screen in the house. The sharp iron arrow penetrated the thick carved screen instantly, leaving only a small dark hole. Emperor Tiande immediately walked over to check, the small arrow was nailed to the wooden post behind the screen, three points into the wood, leaving only half of the tail feathers outside, and the end was powerful.
This level can only be achieved by a martial arts master with high internal strength pulling a bow. And the attendants behind the sixth prince obviously didn't have any inner skills, and they didn't even exert much effort just now. If the Huns possessed a large number of such weapons, the consequences would be disastrous.
A layer of cold sweat broke out on Tiande Emperor's back. Dazhang has been focusing on martial arts for many years. People are pursuing powerful martial arts. The royal family does not pay much attention to the army. The weapons used by soldiers are not very different from those of a thousand years ago. If you encounter a hundred Huns with crossbows and planes, no matter how high your martial arts skills are, you will not be able to escape death.
"Xiao Wang fell in love with His Royal Highness King Jian at first sight. If His Majesty the Emperor can let Xiao Wang kiss Fang Ze, this thing will be given to you." The sixth prince smiled slowly when he saw the greed in Tian De's eyes.
Emperor Tiande looked at the crossbow machine that was put back into the deerskin bag, and his heart beat like thunder.
If you get this kind of weapon, you will have a way to deal with martial arts masters, and the royal family will be able to become stronger again. If it is not available and the Huns use it on a large scale, the border will be in danger.
A relative, Fang Ze, did not ask Chen Ziqi to be taken away...
Emperor Tiande resisted the urge to agree immediately, and said with a gloomy face, "Ziqi is my younger brother."
"I'm just a half-brother, just a litter of wolf cubs grabbing milk. When I was eight years old, I killed the cubs that my father's daughter-in-law just gave birth to. My father also praised me as a warrior." The sixth prince showed off With his own great achievements, he was very disdainful of this indecisive emperor.
Under the eaves of the Nuan Pavilion of Zichen Palace, there are birds resting here. When the sixth prince walked out of the door with a deerskin bag, the birds fluttered their wings as if frightened, and flew to the side hall where Chen Ziqi lived.
After the sixth prince left, Emperor Tiande hurriedly went to find the grey clothed man Gu Master.
In the small courtyard, Gu Master sat in the shadow of the candlelight, holding a blue-black pottery pot, his body was enveloped with a deep gloomy aura.
"Give Chen Ziqi an obsessive aphrodisiac Gu, it will be useful." Seemingly embarrassed, Emperor Tiande spoke very fast, for fear that others would listen.
"Fascination is obsession, aphrodisiac is aphrodisiac, what kind of gu does the emperor want?" The man in gray asked in a hoarse voice.
"It's the kind that can make him lose his mind and make others frivolous." Emperor Tiande whispered.
"No, King Jian already has Gu in his body, and these two kinds of Gu will bite each other. Blood Gu is a hundred times more powerful than Emotion Gu, I am afraid that it will be swallowed up in an instant, and it will be useless." The man in gray said with a solemn expression.
After hearing this, Emperor Tiande was sullen for a long time, and left with a flick of his sleeves.
After waiting for the others to leave, the man in gray slowly opened the lid of the clay pot.
In the side hall, Diao Lie, who transformed into a human figure, handed a small celadon jar to Dan Yi.
Chen Ziqi stretched out his head and glanced at it, and his skin suddenly got goosebumps. The small celadon jar was divided into many grids, and in each grid, there was a ghastly-looking Gu worm, roaring silently with its mouth open.
Dan Yi glanced at Chen Ziqi's expression, pondered for a moment, closed the lid again, and handed it over to Diao Lie, "I don't want to eat this lately, you can reward your subordinates with it."
"Yes." Diao Lie happily took it. Although he doesn't eat bugs, the subordinates of other buildings like it very much, which is a very high reward.
