Lou Qingwu lowered her cold eyebrows, but she didn't expect it to be Shu Yunyan.
But it's okay for him to see it. The whole world knows about it. As the most capable prime minister of Xiliang Kingdom, it's impossible not to find out in advance.
The gaze continued to move to one side, and it was a woman wearing a veil. Her beautiful eyes were like fine glass jade. When she looked over, the bottom of her eyes was moist, giving people a feeling of affection.
Just looking at these eyes, Lou Qingwu has a subtle feeling that a woman's appearance is definitely good.
This should be the third princess Xiliang Feiyue who came to get married.
The people on Moshang are like jade, and the beauty is all over the world.
The most beautiful woman in the Xiliang Kingdom, the monarch of the Xiliang Kingdom is really willing.
Emperor Zong came to the banquet according to the time, everyone got up, Lou Qingwu looked up, there were still two people following Emperor Zong this time, the queen was on the right, but the person on the left was replaced by Concubine Mei. eyebrow.
"Let's all get down, tonight is mainly to cleanse the envoys of the Xiliang Kingdom, all the family members are free, and the envoys of the Xiliang Kingdom are not welcome."
Shu Yunyan and the third princess got up and returned the gift.
Afterwards, there was a lot of fun, the dancers danced lightly, the courtiers talked about wine, but Emperor Zong didn't mention the marriage.
It's just that Emperor Zong didn't mention it, but the purpose of Xiliang Kingdom's visit this time is impossible to miss such a good opportunity tonight. All the princes are here, but it is a rare good opportunity.
Shu Yunyan raised his eyes, glanced calmly at the envoy beside him, and the latter stood up immediately, "Emperor Zong, before my emperor came, I prepared three gifts for your country. I wonder if I can present them now?"
Emperor Zong raised his hand to make the dancer stop, and then raised his eyebrows: "Oh? I don't know what gift it is?"
"Come on, move up!"
The envoy shouted to the outside, and an attendant from the Xiliang Kingdom carried a very ornately decorated box to the center, and put it away gently. The box is not big, it seems to be only one-third of the height of a human, and only one-third of the length and width of a human. From the outside, it is impossible to tell what is inside.
Emperor Zong became interested when he saw the box, "What's inside?"
"This is the first gift my emperor prepared for Emperor Zong."
"Oh?" Emperor Zong glanced at the various gemstones adorning the box, and finally landed on the clasp, "Open it and have a look."
"Emperor Zong, please wait a moment, the envoy still has something to say."
"Um?"
"Before the envoy came, my emperor had always heard that your country is full of talents, so I made a little trick on this gift, hoping that Emperor Zong can satisfy my emperor's curiosity." The envoy was sincere and spoke very well, It's just the meaning in the words, but it's worth exploring.
Emperor Zong's face froze for a moment, but calmed down calmly.
"Oh? I don't know what a coincidence?"
"A special lock is added to this clasp. Emperor Zong just needs to open this lock if he wants to see the gift."
"..."
As soon as Shi Chen's words fell, the entire banquet was completely silent.
Just open it, but what if... it can't be opened? Isn't what the entire Dongyu country is facing is a big joke? When people spread the news, how can people say that the monarchs of other countries sent a gift, but it is a pity that Dongyu Kingdom is incapable and cannot even open a lock. This face is all lost. So now the only thing that can make up for it is that the lock must be opened somehow.
"Emperor Zong, please!" The envoy seemed to be unable to see Emperor Zong's darkened face, and was full of smiles.
Lou Qingwu frowned, what's going on
This time, the Xiliang Kingdom came to seek cooperation with relatives, but is it really okay to embarrass the country in need like this? Or does Xiliang actually have other plans
Her gaze inadvertently fell on Shu Yunyan, who was diagonally opposite. She didn't know why, but she had a feeling that it must have something to do with him. The impression of Shu Yunyan in her memory was probably that he was in poor health, but lonely and vicious to the core. stubbornness.
Could it be that at this juncture, he still wants to test the strength of Dong Yuguo
Silently picking up a cup of tea, Lou Qingwu sipped it, deciding to be a spectator.
Emperor Zong's face was already quite ugly, but he still didn't show it. He just glanced down coolly, "Since the envoys from Xiliang have already proposed it, can the Qing family have a good solution?"
"I am willing to give it a try!"
The one who came out was a lieutenant, but Lou Qingwu couldn't call out his name, and that lieutenant was full of disdain for Xiliang.
Lou Qingwu understood what he was thinking: it was just a lock, if there was any difficulty, he could kill a cow with his bare hands, and he would definitely be able to pull the lock open with his bare hands.
Emperor Zong glanced at his muscular arm, nodded in satisfaction, "I'm sure."
The deputy general stepped forward immediately, first moved his arms and neck, squatted down and took a horse stance, and grabbed the two ends of the lock, trying to use brute force to separate the lock, but it was a pity that the queen of half a stick of incense , that general's forehead was covered with cold sweat, but he still didn't pull the ordinary lock.
Everyone's expressions were different, and Zongdi's originally indifferent face became turbulent again.
"Bang!" The officer made the last effort, but the lock was not unlocked, and he himself squatted on the ground, quite embarrassed.
If this was any other banquet, everyone would definitely laugh out loud, but at this moment, no one could laugh in front of the envoys from Xiliang.
The officer's face was flushed red, and he got up and wanted to continue trying.
Emperor Zong waved his hand: "Back off."
"...Yes." The officer just lowered his head dejectedly and walked back to his seat.
Then a few more people came forward to try it, but still no one could open it. The whole banquet suddenly fell into a deathly silence, and the cold scene made people feel chills.
Lou Qingwu glanced at Shu Yunyan calmly, a sarcastic smile rose from the corner of his mouth, and there was mockery in his eyes.
Lou Qingwu picked up the cup and drank another cup of tea.
If tonight's banquet is compared to a game of chess, the situation in front of it must be a dead end. Lou Qufeng beside Lou Qingwu is also very anxious. Although he is mercenary, he is very anxious about the situation in front of him. If Yu Guo loses someone, Emperor Zong will definitely be in a bad mood, and the chain reaction will not get better for them, who are courtiers.
"Even Vice-General Nie, who is the strongest, can't do anything about it. How can we do this? What kind of lock is it that is so powerful?"
Lou Qufeng seemed to be really in a hurry, chattering over and over again, Lou Qingwu's ears were almost callused.
Before her emotions became irritable, Lou Qingwu decided to save her ears.
"Thousand-year black iron." How could it be opened by brute force.
"Ah?" Lou Qufeng turned his eyes in surprise, and was also shocked by the four words Lou Qingwu uttered. After all, the iron chain made of black iron is the most difficult iron chain to open so far, and the thousand-year-old black iron is even more difficult to open. It is thousands of times and hundreds of times stronger, even if all the warriors present go up, they still can't open it.
