"Coincidentally—" Xiao Jin greeted with a smile on his face, and said to himself: "The next official is really a lucky person who meets the son of the world and the king of Pingding. If you want to come, it's just a Lu Yishan. Of course, everyone looks up and sees you down, hahaha Haha...Tell...Farewell." After saying that, he glanced at Xin Yi a few times and slid into Fenglin like a rabbit, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Xin Yi suppressed a smile, "Seeing you is like a cat seeing a tiger."
"If you're really afraid, you won't come." Bai Jiu raised his eyebrows slightly, "Xiao Yan taught him to be courageous, and no one will be afraid of him, and he's as clever as a monkey, so he can't be caught." He came over and led him , said: "Zhuangzi sent a crop of grapes, go back and taste."
Xin Yi went with him.
Unexpectedly, they met Xiao Jin again in the afternoon. Xin Yi was speechless, watching him scurrying around on the courtyard wall like walking on the ground, and said, "Are you really going to keep staring at me?"
"Of course not." Sitting on the top of the wall, Xiao Jin took out a fruit from his bosom and gnawed it, "I'm a Beijing official after all, so how can I keep staring at you. It's just that I happened to be here in Luyi Mountain recently. So use it when you can." He stretched out his head and said mysteriously, "I'll tell you a secret, do you want to listen?"
Xin Yi directly turned around and walked down the corridor, Xiao Jin couldn't hold back his face, he could only suppress a few heroic laughs, and said: "Oh, I'll just say it straight, you know Bai, Bai—my lord, why did he choose this one?" Shall I bring you to Lu Yi?"
Xin Yi turned his head back and looked at Xiao Jin with a profound expression. Xiao Jin shrank his head before he started, and said haha: "Hey, what a coincidence, King Pingding, hahahaha..."
Bai Jiu propped his head on the window of the study, a little lazy from the sun, and said: "It's not easy to write well. How about this, I'll give Master Xiao a gift."
"What gift?"
Bai Jiu smiled gently, "Come down first."
Curious, Xiao Jin slid down from the wall, before he could stand still, Bai Jiu called out to Elder Qu. Elder Qu responded, and saw the doors of all four rooms open, a group of strong dogs flew out, surrounded Xiao Jin and sniffed suddenly. Xiao Jin's face turned pale, and he was chased by dogs like fried hair. He circled around the corridor a few times, hugged the pillar and then swished up, hugged the beam tightly and couldn't get down, closed his eyes and said loudly: "What kind of hatred are we? !"
Bai Jiu said casually, "Peeping at my wife's revenge."
"When did you—cough, me, you, oh my god." Xiao Jin broke out in cold sweat from being barked by the dog, "I won't look at him!"
Bai Jiu ignored him, and waved to Xin Yi, who had been laughing non-stop, lying on the window sill. Xin Yi walked a few steps, raised his head and smiled at him: "If you tease him again, he will cry."
When she raised her head like this, her eyebrows and eyes were curved, her dimples were sunken, and her sweet Bai Jiu had dark eyes. Bai Jiu looked at it for a long time, and then said: "It's annoying to see him."
When Xiao Jin heard it, he immediately said loudly: "I'm leaving!"
Xin Yi went upstairs. Bai Jiu was sitting on the couch by the window, propping his head up to watch Xiao Jin run over the wall in an unconventional way, only smiling. Bai Jiu patted the open space beside him, and Xin Yi went to sit down, but before he could sit still, Bai Jiu was already lazy on him.
"My lord, is this reading or watching people?" Xin Yi raised his hand and rubbed his hair lightly, and smiled as soon as he felt it, "Why is it so soft?"
"Look at the person." Bai Jiu let him touch it, sighed, "I'll let him go outside."
"Then he probably has to watch you outside the door every day." Xin Yi felt that the touch was particularly good, and boldly rubbed it for a while, thinking for a while: "I also want to know, why come to the mountain now?"
It is not uncommon to come to the mountain, but it is uncommon to live here for several days.
"Too many things." Bai Jiu frowned as soon as he thought about it.
Xin Yi guessed that most of this matter had something to do with him, and there were not many things and people that could make Bai Jiu choose to avoid them. He saw the red maple burning in the sky in the distance, his heart moved, and he said: "Autumn is here."
Autumn is here, and the meadows should turn yellow. The grass is turning yellow, and in a few months, it will be time for the grassland to change its grain. If there is heavy snow again this year, I am afraid that just changing is not enough. Xiao Jin said that because of the matter, Luyi Mountain is outside the capital, and there is a post station on the Changting official road nearby. It is difficult for the Jingwei to come here for activities except to receive foreign envoys.
That's why Xin Yi guessed and said, "Did someone come from Dayuan?"
Sure enough, Bai Jiu hummed.
Dayuan is here. It wasn't just a matter of begging for a winter, Bai Jiu even brought him out, which showed that the people who came here were absolutely extraordinary. When talking about Dayuan, one has to mention the deep feud with Beiyang.
The fifty-fourth year of Hongxing was Dayuan's nightmare. That year, King Yan was the first to press hard to demarcate the border, and the Beiyang army hit the boundary of Dayuan, and then the most deadly knife was left by Xin Jing, the eldest son of King Yan. Xin Jing expelled all the tribes in Dayuan with all his might, and the thirty-two clans of Dayuan were forced to flee northward to the edge of the glacier. This battle quickly weakened the Qiyan tribe of the Dayuan Khan at that time, and was seized by the Habu Geqin family. The current Dayuan Khan is Habu Geqin. If Xin Jing hadn't died in the Wanze attack, then it's unknown whether Dayuan still exists today. After the death of Xin Jing, King Ping took over the front line of the war. After the war, the prince proposed to trade horses for grain. Ride big country.
The lineage of King Yan is gone, and Xin Yi's reputation as dumb is nothing to worry about. There is a political struggle among officials in Kyoto, and there is only one king of Tang alive in the foreign domain. . Dalan no longer has the lions and tigers guarding the frontier, and Dayuan is gradually showing its minions ready to move. In fact, when the news came back, it was the beginning of Xin Yi's return to the capital. The Dayuan envoys were approaching, and the emperor intended to let Xin Yi enter Honglu Temple and go out of the city to receive him. If Xin Yi went to pick up the Dayuan people, he would inevitably face humiliation, and he might be blamed more. Naturally, the emperor wanted to use Xin Yi to show his kindness. It's just that this meaning was pushed farther and farther by Bai Jiu's men, and finally went around Xiao Jin, leaving Xin Yi's current leisure.
"This time it is the fourth son of Habugqin, named Chagatai. Although he is not the first person in the list, he is Habugqin's favorite son. His maternal line is Borjijin's family. , Uncle is the leader of the Bo'er Jijin tribe." Bai Jiu pinched his hand with his fingertips, "The Bo'er Jijin tribe was afraid of killing the Beiyang Army. Xin Jing killed the leaders of the fourteen tribes in Dayuan. When Er Jijin fled to the north, he was placed behind by the Qiyan Department, and it is said that they dreamed that year that they were all like your elder brother holding a knife and riding a horse."
Xin Yi put down his hand rubbing his hair, and said with a smile: "It seems that this time the attack is menacing, and I want to settle accounts with my elder brother's younger brother."
Bai Jiu smiled, "Someone will support you." Xin Yi glanced at Bai Jiu, and Bai Jiu rubbed his chin on his shoulder, and said lazily, "The aftermath of King Yan and Xin Jing is not so easy to fade away. Besides, I've had a new fun recently."
"Huh?" Xin Yi asked, "What's the fun?"
Bai Jiu rubbed against his ear and said softly, "I'd love to see you hit them in the face."
The slightly moist heat came in from the pinnae, causing a tingling tingling, and Xin Yi's face turned red.
By the time they returned to Kyoto, the Dayuan Mission had already entered Beijing. There are also quite a few people staying in post stations outside the capital, and those who enter Beijing are all important people. For example, the fourth prince Chagatai, for example, Arslen from the Zadalan Department. Needless to say, Chagatai, this Arslen was no ordinary person.
As the majority of the Dayuan Qiyan tribe, the Zhadalan tribe was originally the most powerful team in the Dayuan Khan competition. When Habu Geqin came to power, this person was the leader of Zhatalan, but he won the trust of Habu Geqin. He was Battelle of Dayuan, a "hero", and enjoyed a prestigious reputation among all the ministries of Dayuan. It is the "Lion" of Zadalan and the "Lion King" of Dayuan. This person had confronted King Yan at least three times. If Xin Jing hadn't replaced King Yan and changed his style, the Beiyang Army would not have been able to reach the deep ground of Dayuan. After Xin Jing's death, King Ping's 500,000 soldiers and horses could not cross the Canaan Mountain behind Wanze, because this man was stuck like a iron plate and blocked Da Lan's advance. What needs to be mentioned is that when he withdrew south to King Zhaping, apart from the 60,000 cavalry from the Zadalan tribe, he only had 40,000 skirmishers from the other 17 tribes, so he only relied on a mixed army of more than 100,000 men. , Let King Ping return with 500,000 yuan without success.
In Dalan's army, this person was called "Canaan Iron Wing", because it was once rumored that as long as the lion king guarded Wanze, Dalan would never be able to cross Canaan Mountain, just like the iron wing hanging from the sky, striking forever. not broken.
Standing on the high steps, Xin Yi looked past the emperor and the crowd, the first thing he saw was Arslen, and he only looked at Arslen. This is his father's lifelong enemy, and it is also the mountain that his elder brother never crossed in the end.
The man is already in his forties, and he still walks like a tiger. With a beard and green stubble, even if Da Lan's emperor was standing on the steps, he was still slovenly. The eyebrows are deep, and the breast color is obvious yellow, which is the same as that of a lion.
He stared at Xin Yi almost at a glance, as if he was looking for prey, and the vague inspection in his eyes carried a strong fighting spirit.
Xin Yi remained expressionless, refusing to budge.
After welcoming the mission, he naturally couldn't stand on the steps anymore. The two sides are in harmony and move to the palace banquet. With the crown prince absent, King Qin faced the wall, and the emperor had no choice but to sit down and calm down Wang Baijiu, forming an equal level with Chagatai on the opposite side. Arslen and Zhang Taiyan sat on the left and right, so it would be appropriate to have one Wu and one Wen. It's just that Xin Yi's seat this time is very interesting, just after Zhang Taiyan, facing the envoys of Dayuan, even He Anchang, Xiao Jin and other people with genuine official positions have to move one place behind.
After three rounds of drinking and ceremony, it was finally time for the ministers to confront each other.
This time Dayuan came here with a very simple intention, they wanted a princess, and they went straight to the point, they only wanted the emperor's daughter.
"Marriage between the two countries is a universal joy, but now in my Dalan, only Princess Mingheng is the golden boudoir. She is not only the favorite daughter of the Holy Majesty, but also the jewel in the palm of Dalan's palm. If you want a marriage in your country, you have to do it according to the etiquette." Mrs. Chang Si Qing Liu Qusheng continued: "This is Da Lan's rule, don't do whatever you want."
The envoy said: "Your Excellency, I don't know, I am here to sincerely ask to marry Princess Mingheng. Our fourth prince came here for thousands of miles just to show his determination."
Chagatai showed his shyness while holding up the lamp, and said: "I have admired the princess's virtuous name for a long time. It is exactly what Dalan said in Dalan's book, 'If you can't ask for it, you toss and turn'. This courtship not only brought a Dayuan BMW, but also Please come to Uncle Alslen as a gift."
No one knew that the Lion King's name was Da Lan, but upon hearing this name, the banquet fell silent for a while. A not-so-friendly atmosphere was under the cup, and Dayuan's meaning was clear: we brought a BMW and a lion.
The emperor's complexion was vaguely unwell, he twitched the corners of his mouth, and looked around among the courtiers, but after searching around, there was no name that could shock him back. Only when it passed Xin Yi, it paused, and then quickly moved away.
Xin Yi lowered his eyes and peeled the orange, not only became a competent mute, but also played the role of the deaf man very well.
"Lion King." Xiao Jin said suddenly, stuffed a grape into the table and said with a smile: "The prince made a mistake. The princess is a fairy raised in a deep palace, and fairies don't see fierce beasts. Lion King The reputation is far and wide, and I am afraid when I hear it, let alone the princess?"
Arslen poured the wine by himself, laughed loudly when he heard the words, and raised his hand to Xiao Jin, "Young people are quick to talk, but you are not afraid of me sitting here. Familiar, who is Huiyang Hou?"
Xiao Jin rubbed his face and sighed: "Do you really look like my old man?"
Everyone laughed out loud during the banquet, and the tense atmosphere was somewhat diluted by this smile. Xin Yi stuffed the entrance of an orange, thinking, there really is no fool in this capital, even someone like Xiao Jin, when the time comes, he will be foolish just right.
"The clever son of Marquis Huiyang." Arslen raised his hand and drank the wine without even mentioning the toast.
"I have admired the princess for a long time, and I guess the princess is not a person who picks people up by voice." Chagatai said affectionately: "I don't know what the emperor thinks? I know the journey is far away, and I will never let the princess down."
The emperor turned to Zhang Taiyan and asked, "What do you think the grand master thinks?"
Zhang Taiyan was drinking tea with squinted eyes, and said peacefully: "The old minister is old, and he speaks clichés, just to mention a few things. It only means that Princess Heng is the youngest daughter of the empress, the younger sister of the prince, and will be the eldest princess of Dalan in the future, with a dignified status. It is definitely not something that can be matched by gold and jade. Naturally, this son-in-law must be different, and the icing on the cake would be the icing on the cake. Besides, the fourth prince is far away, so why do you only want to honor me, the eldest princess Dalan, with BMW and ordinary things?"
Xin Yi finished eating the oranges in his hand bit by bit, and then he heard Alslen say: "Let's not talk about what is good in this world, just talk about the words of your country's lord Zhang. The princess's infatuation makes even the eagles on Mount Canaan cry. This is a rare thing, and it cannot be measured by money and ordinary things. If such kindness is not enough." He pressed the wine cup and said loudly: "Then let Bei King Yangyan, come and talk to me!"
As soon as these words came out, Xin Yi's shoulders were suddenly weighed heavily by the eyes from all around. There was a silence in the hall, Xin Yi raised his eyes and stared directly at Arslen, before he got up, when he heard the sound of drinking, Bai Jiu said slowly.
"I've come to talk to the Lion King."
The author has something to say:
In Mongolian, Arslen does mean "lion", and it is very suitable to be placed on Arslen in the play.
