General, there is a demon [Rebirth]

The palace is decorated with lanterns and festoons, and there are bursts of singing and dancing.

The gold-plated animal head in the corner exhales a graceful fragrance, warm and hot, as if there is nothing there, the dancer dances a bewitching Huxuan dance, and the tulle dress belt is in the bright lights, and there is a burst of crisp bells.

Not long after the dance ended, the dancer retreated gracefully, dragging her long dress.

When everyone was drinking and drinking, the Turkic envoy who was sitting in the position of guest of honor suddenly got up and walked to the front of the hall.

After the man stroked his chest and saluted, he respectfully stated the purpose of this mission - to make peace with Da Yin.

Hearing this, Chang Ying's hand holding the wine cup shook, and the sake splashed onto the back of his hand. While wiping off the wine stains on the back of his hand, he looked at the man.

Under the cover of the lights, Huo Changying couldn't see the man's face clearly. He only looked at the back, and realized that the leader of the envoys was not like the usual barbarian, with a burly figure and a hulking waist. On the contrary, he looked more like a tall and tall Central Plains man. What's rare is that the man can speak the Central Plains dialect fluently.

However, the rumored high priest of the Turks—Princess Ashina claimed that she was sick. Although it was rude, but the Eastern and Western Turks had been at war with the Great Yin for many years, and now the Western Turks suddenly came here. Yin then couldn't say anything.

"what happened?"

Xiao Duo found that Changying was the same, and hooked Changying's waist with the arm behind him, leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Are you worried?"

Hearing this, Huo Changying came back to his senses, glanced at him sideways, and said with a smile, "Yes, I'm worried that you will be snatched away." He shook the wine cup in his hand, and said with a smile: "The general is so nice, I'd rather It’s not enough, how can you be willing to give it to someone else.”

Xiao Duo looked at the man with clear eyebrows in front of him, his flirtatious look with side eyes and chuckling was really seductive, his heart moved slightly, but he couldn't be presumptuous at will, so he had to squeeze Huo Changying's palm gently, To show punishment.

Huo Changying smiled silently, but his eyes drifted to the seat above.

I saw that the emperor sat on the first seat of the banquet, and the queen was next to him. The emperor was majestic, and the queen was graceful. Suddenly hearing the words of the Turkic envoys, all the ministers did not change their faces, and the ministers who suddenly fell silent formed a group of different voices. sharp contrast.

The singing, dancing and music gradually stopped as if they had noticed something, and all the ministers also focused on the dishes in front of them without saying a word.

The atmosphere was awkward for a while, but the Turkic envoy was not annoyed. He smiled generously and said, "Although I, the Western Turks, are not richer than the people of Great Yin, my status as the overlord of the grasslands is just around the corner. Your Majesty the most noble, Great Yin, Please accept our request."

As he said that, the envoy leaned forward and stroked his chest again, as if his gesture was pious and respectful.

But Huo Changying knew that what this envoy said, to put it bluntly, was that you are rich in land and wealth, and I, the Western Turks, are also the overlord of one side, and you will not suffer if we marry as in-laws.

Although he was polite on the surface, it actually carried a kind of contempt. Huo Changying squinted his eyes and drank the wine in the wine cup, saying to himself, but it might not be a kind of bluff of the weak.

He remembered that during this period of time, when the East and West Turks were fighting for hegemony, both parties ended up losing.

At this time, the Western Turks suddenly sent envoys, and brought the most expensive princess, who probably recruited a son-in-law for marriage, and then used the power of the Great Yin to deal with the Eastern Turks.

And this son-in-law...

Thinking of this, Huo Changying's expression froze, and his uneasiness surged up again.

Some ministers who couldn't hide the matter suddenly changed their faces, and there was a faint air of indignation. After all, although the Western Turks were not as cruel as the Eastern Turks, they also had criminal records in Great Yin.

On the main seat, His Majesty looked at the envoy without changing his expression, and said slowly: "My son has already appointed a princess, if he wants to get married, he may wrong the princess of your country, how about..."

The emperor prolonged the end of his speech, and looked at the ministers sitting down with majestic eyes, "Among the ministers, there are also people who are amazingly talented, just like the eldest son of the Duke of Jin." With a smile, "Goguryeo became famous in the first battle. Ask yourself, even my son may not have such talent."

Huo Changying's heart skipped a beat, seeing Xiao Duo next to him with bruised veins on the back of his hand clutching the wine cup, his heart skipped a beat, and he quickly raised his hand.

It happened to block Xiao Duo who was about to get up impulsively.

Xiao Duo frowned and looked at him in disapproval, but Huo Changying explained in a low voice: "It may not be the case, and wait."

Xiao Duo wanted to say something more, when he heard someone pleading in front of him, saying: "Your Majesty loves you, I am really ashamed to be a dog."

It was Jin Guogong, Mr. Xiao who spoke.

Huo Changying was a little surprised, but also a little moved. He thought that Mr. Xiao really loved his son. He knew that he was a man and couldn't carry on the Xiao family's lineage, but he accepted it for his son. Now, for his son, he dared to contradict the saint in front of everyone. drive.

I saw Mr. Xiao got up to attend, knelt down slowly, and said: "Besides, the dog has a marriage contract, and the wedding ceremony has already been set on the eighth day of the next month. It is really not a good match for the princess."

Mr. Xiao knew that the emperor might not mean this, but if he spoke with his relatives, it would be a golden word, and he could not take it back. Nine years ago, he could still vividly remember his son's half-dead appearance in nightmares, and now he couldn't even afford to gamble on this possibility.

The emperor squinted at the old man who was kneeling on the ground and accidentally slapped him in the face, feeling a little displeased. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the queen looking at him worriedly, and slowly shook his head.

The atmosphere was tense, but the Turkic envoy seemed to think that the matter was not tense enough, smiled and said: "Your Majesty Yin, I'm afraid you misunderstood what I mean."

He smiled and saluted again: "Princess Ashina, the most honorable high priest among my Turkic tribe, she is destined to serve the true God for life and has no right to marry, and this time the princess came here in person for the sake of the princess' younger brother. He is the Khan of the Grassland—Prince Ashina Yedu."

When he said this, the expressions on the faces of the ministers were even more exciting, embarrassment and resentment gathered together.

Mr. Xiao and Xiao Duo were obviously relieved not to be pulled off the top bag.

Huo Changying also secretly let go of his heart, squeezed Xiao Duo's rough palm a few times, and smiled, but just as he was about to withdraw his hand, his hand was grabbed by someone, and the man's rough and strong fingers squeezed forcefully. Huo Changying came in, interlocked his fingers, and the moment their palms touched, Huo Changying's heart felt warm.

"Don't even think about leaving me behind." The man's voice was gritted with a bit of grievance, and it whispered in his ears.

Huo Changying saw a trace of panic in the man's eyes, he hummed lightly, and squeezed the man's palm back tightly.

Just when everyone thought that the emperor would be angry, the emperor was not angry, he laughed and said: "The oldest of my daughters is only 12 years old, it is really not suitable for marriage."

The envoy still wanted to say more, but the emperor waved his hand and interrupted: "Okay, the matter of getting married is very important, we will discuss it later, tonight is a banquet to cleanse the wind and cleanse the dust, don't be a disappointment."

As the words fell, the emperor's face lost the original smile, and he looked at the envoy with layers of coercion. The Turkic envoy was also a wink, and he retreated after saluting.

As the dance music started, the emperor glanced at Mr. Xiao who was still kneeling, and said with a half-smile, "Xiao Aiqing, get up."

Old Master Xiao heard Xie En get up, turned around and walked back, and heard the emperor behind him say quietly: "The eighth day of the next lunar month, why are you in such a hurry?"

Xiao Yicheng clenched his fists under his sleeves, but when he turned around, he was already smiling, "The dog is getting older, and we should get married early, so we won't have long nights and dreams."

The emperor glanced at him, narrowed his slender eyes, snorted inexplicably for a while, and waved his hands to make him retreat.

The song and dance that followed was nothing new, and when Huo Changying was drinking, he found a gaze looking at him with vaguely inquiring eyes.

He looked along, but suddenly stopped, and suddenly there was a voice, familiar and unfamiliar, which made him in a trance for a moment.

After a long while, Huo Changying whispered a few words into Xiao Duo's ear, then walked around behind the banquet without any trace, avoiding the maids and servants, quietly went out from the side door of the palace, walked through the corridor, and arrived at a small garden behind the palace.

The cold wind on a winter night seems to still carry the aftertaste of the banquet, and the silk, bamboo and sheng songs in the front hall float over, making this place more and more quiet.

"Baby!"

Following a girl's charming and excited voice, a fiery red shadow rushed out from behind the bushes in the dark night, and ran straight into Huo Changying's arms.

It was a fluffy red fox.

Caught off guard, Huo Changying's arms were hit by the big fur ball, and he took two steps back due to the impact. He hugged the little red fox firmly, and said with a smile, "Huan Huan, it seems that your food has been pretty good these years," he said. Holding the little fox in his hand, he nodded and said, "You've gained weight."

Huan Huan is the name of this little fox, and she covered her face with her little white fluffy front paws: "She is also a girl after all, how can you say she is fat!"

Huo Changying has crooked eyebrows, Huan Huan is his childhood friend in Anxi, a desert red fox, but I don't know if it's a matter of blood, other foxes have gray claws, but she has white claws, as if wearing a Human white socks.

Although Huanhuan is a fox demon, he is actually only about the age of a seven or eight-year-old child.

"Where have you been all these years?" Huan Huan grabbed Huo Changying's skirt and looked up at him pitifully: "No one is catching mice with me anymore." She moved her ears and whispered: "I'm hungry and skinny." gone."

Huo Changying's eyes widened in surprise, and he weighed her heavy weight again.

Huanhuan laughed awkwardly, fell off Huo Changying dexterously, stood on the rockery by the pool, rubbed his paws and said: "At that time, you and the old man had left, and no one would play with me. lonely."

Talking about Huanhuan, he lowered his head in a lonely way, then smiled and raised his head to look at Huo Changying: "I really didn't expect to meet you here!"

"Yes," Huo Changying folded his hands in his sleeves, looked up at the moon and breathed out, "It's been a long time."

In the winter night of Yong'an, the cold air penetrates the heart, and the moon in the sky is bright and unattainable. In a trance, Huo Changying seems to have returned to Anxi. Those days when he squatted on the sand dunes and looked at the moon, Huanhuan squatted quietly like this beside him.

Fantasizing that he didn't speak, looked up at the moon, tilted his head and said, "It's no different from Anxi's?"

Huo Changying smiled, "Yeah, it's no different." He raised his hand and rubbed Huanhuan's furry ears, "Why are you with the Turks?"

Huan Huan heard that the movement of rubbing Changying's palm was paused, she lowered her head and said, "I came with Princess Ashina."

Seeing Changying's eyes narrowed, Huanhuan hurriedly said: "Princess absolutely didn't mean to harm you this time!" Then, her voice dropped again, "Since you left that year, I fell into the hunter's trap, ah! Princess Shi Na saved me, she is the high priest of the Turks, she is not afraid of me even if she knows that I am a cultivated little monster, and she takes good care of me in every possible way, I, I..."

Huan Huan was a little choked up as she spoke, she lowered her head, looking extremely depressed, "I just want to repay the favor."

"But I'm not capable enough, can you help me, Yingying, because of our love for catching mice in the past." Huanhuan looked up at Huo Changying, his big eyes filled with tears filled with pleading.

Huo Changying raised his eyebrows, and crossed his arms to signal her to continue, so Huan Huan explained the reason for their trip.

"Borrow troops?"

A deep voice sounded from behind, Huo Changying turned around and found Xiao Duo was standing under the porch, under the eaves, the light and shadow were flickering and his face could not be seen clearly.

Xiao Duo walked quickly to Chang Ying's side, held his elbow, and said in a tone that could not refuse, "No!"
