King and General untie their battle robes

"It's indeed a woman," Jiang Yan nodded. "Prince Luo is in charge. He is still unmarried and has been managing state affairs. General Bian seems surprised, but don't you believe that women can do this?"

There was indeed a look of surprise on Bian Youli's face, but it was not because of the reason Jiang Yan said: "Of course not. In the world, there is no difference between a woman and a man. I just didn't expect that Luo Guo could let a woman rule .”

"That's right. In fact, there is another Highness in the Luo Kingdom, who is the younger brother of King Luo, but he has not been in the palace since he was a child, so the burden of this country has been borne by the princess at that time."

Bian Youli was puzzled and said, "King Luo still has brothers? If she is in power, won't the ministers object?"

Generally speaking, if there are men in the royal family, those pedantic veterans should not agree to let women supervise the country.

Jiang Yan paused, his eyes showed respect, and he said slowly: "This is what King Luo excels at."

The girl who is in the ordinary family is the girl who is waiting to be released from the cabinet. On weekdays, she embroiders, plays the piano, innocent and innocent, and her worries are limited.

However, there are also people who are burdened with an inescapable burden, wearing red makeup in charge of the national seal, suppressing the officials with their own power, ordering and prohibiting, and balancing the court.

Even though he hadn't met this person, nor had he been there, Bian Youli was already full of admiration for her: "He really is an extraordinary person."

Jiang Yan said with a little regret: "It's a pity that although she is powerful, she doesn't agree with us. Otherwise, she would really like to get acquainted with such a girl."

"Not necessarily," Bian Youli leaned on the seat cushion, and chuckled lightly, "There are no absolutes, maybe there will be this chance."

Jiang Yan raised his eyebrows and said, "General Bian thinks so? If the Luo Kingdom sends envoys to meet our king, will the king put down his guard and sincerely make friends with them?"

"Why not," Bian Youli lazily replied, "I still say that nothing is absolute, not necessarily impossible."

Jiang Yan obviously disagreed with this, but he had no intention of arguing. He just shook his head and smiled, and then changed the topic.

The Luo King's Palace was built in the center of Yeping, and the palace was magnificently built. In addition to welcoming the Jingshi today, palace lanterns were set up everywhere. Looking from a distance, it suddenly looks like a sea of ​​lights.

Bian Youli talked with Jiang Yan all the way, but he didn't pay attention to the time. He suddenly heard the coachman talking, so he straightened his appearance.

As soon as they got out of the car, a court lady stepped forward to lead them in.Bian Youli looked around for a while, and saw that several members of the mission had resumed their previous appearances, walking forward in a proud and polite manner without looking sideways.

It turned out to be quite generous.

Bian Youli couldn't help thinking, these people are very interesting, they must have encountered trouble after being put on this errand, after returning, they can talk to Ze'an to see if they can be reused.

"General Bian," Jiang Yan said a few steps ahead, seeing Bian Youli standing where he didn't know what to think, he stopped and called, "Let's go."

One of the maids leading the way walked to Bian Youli, bent his knees and stretched out his hand: "My lord, please."

Bian Youli smiled at her: "Thank you."

The palace maid was taken aback for a moment, then lowered her head, and her voice was softer: "My lord, you are welcome, this way please."

The banquet was set up in a very unique way. All the seats were surrounded by a lotus pond. A qin was placed in the lotus pond. A woman played the qin and sang softly inside. The music was endless and the singing was graceful and clear.

In the gauze tent at the top, a woman can be vaguely seen sitting in it.

There are crowds of court ladies around her, and her clothes are different from the rest. She presumably is the king of the Luo Kingdom, Luo Yun.

Jiang Yan and the others paid homage to King Luo according to the etiquette, presented the letter of credence, stated the purpose of their visit, and then stood quietly.

"Your envoy has come from a long way and has worked hard all the way," Luo Yun's voice came from the curtain, clear and pleasant, with a majesty and ability that ordinary young women don't have, "please come to the banquet, and I will send you a receipt after a few days alone The letter of credence is handed over to your envoy."

After a few people entered the table, Jiang Yan wanted to ask a few more questions, because in Luo Yun's words just now, although he was polite, he did not reveal whether he would agree to trade.

The diplomatic mission was well aware of the matter of commerce, and they were very concerned about it, but they all came, so they could only bite the bullet and talk about it.

However, Luo Yun didn't seem to want to hear it. As soon as the envoys were seated, she ordered them to sing and dance, and then a group of Luo State ministers took turns to toast.After the singing and dancing retreated, Luo Yun gently expressed that she was tired, and asked the envoy to go back to the post house to rest, and contact the post house staff if necessary.

The courtiers of the Luo Kingdom immediately knelt down to send the king off. Jiang Yan and the others had no chance to speak at all, so they had no choice but to go back to the posthouse.

After returning, all members of the mission gathered in Jiang Yan's room to express their views on what happened tonight.

Bian Youli walked around the outside, and when he returned to the room, he saw a few people with stern faces, and the atmosphere was a little tense.

"What's wrong?" Bian Youli looked at Jiang Yan, "What are you worrying about?"

Jiang Yan looked up at him with a calm expression on his face, but upon closer inspection, there were some strange emotions hidden.

For some reason, seeing this expression, Bian Youli subconsciously looked outside the door, as if there was some danger outside.

However, this is probably impossible, because Bian Youli came back after inspecting it from the outside, and if there was anything wrong, he should have discovered it long ago.If it is not found, it is estimated that it will not be found at this time.

Jiang Yan asked Bian Youli to sit down and asked, "General Bian, what do you think of seeing King Luo tonight?"

Bian Youli thought about it for a while, and said, "It's hard to see through the curtain, but I think she looks a little strange."

An envoy named Li Shu hurriedly said, "What does the general think is wrong?"

"It seems..." Bian Youli hesitated, "She's not very happy? Anyway, she's a little different from our king."

Li Shu sighed, then lowered his head and thought silently.On the contrary, Jiang Yan glanced at Bian Youli, and suddenly said, "Actually, there is no difference."

Bian Youli turned his head without knowing why, and cast a puzzled look at him.

Jiang Yan seemed to realize that he had made a slip of the tongue, shook his head and stopped talking, and explained what happened tonight: "After we came back to discuss, we all felt that King Luo's situation was not as smooth as the rumors said, and it should be controlled by the one who spoke at the banquet. Several people."

When the letter of credence was just presented, Jiang Yan noticed that Luo Yun seemed to be looking in a certain direction during the banquet. Luo Yun only agreed after the person who was going to sing and dance in that direction proposed it. Personal verbal cues.

He came back and asked several other people, and they all noticed it, which made Jiang Yan feel that something was wrong.

Bian Youli looked at them blankly, completely unaware of these situations.Before that, he was only focused on tasting the wine during the banquet. The wine was very different from what he usually drank in Jing country. The unfamiliar aroma could give people a kind sense of belonging, which was very strange.

"Then," Bian Youli hesitated, "Let's..."

Before he finished saying "what shall we do", there was a sharp tearing sound outside the window, and a cold arrow came through the air and shot in Jiang Yan's direction.

Bian Youli immediately drew his sword and swung it out, deflecting the arrow against the wall next to it, half of it sank in the blink of an eye.In an instant, more arrows struck, Bian Youli jumped in front of them and shouted, "Stand back!"

As soon as the words were finished, several men in black leaped in from the window, each with a long sword, and greeted Bian Youli, beckoning to take his life.

Bian Youli stopped the man in black, and Jiang Yan stood behind, squinting slightly to see the battle situation, and saw that there were still people entering.He looked around a few times, pulled Li Shu and the others into the blind corner formed by the two cabinets in the middle of the room, took a silver knife from the shelf next to it, and touched a few pieces of jade Throwing towards the man in black.

The man in black was hit by the extremely precise jade piece, and turned around to attack Jiang Yan. The number of enemies suddenly decreased, Bian Youli was able to breathe, and it was much easier to pack up the people in front of him.

It was the first time Bian Youli saw Jiang Yan's saber technique, the technique was vicious and straightforward, the knife saw blood, and there was a posture of being desperate and crazy.He got rid of the person in front of him, and went into Jiang Yan's battle circle to help. Not long after, a group of men in black lay on the ground.

There was a sudden commotion outside the room, Bian Youli and Jiang Yan exchanged glances, walked to the door, and after a while, footsteps came to the door.

"Several adults, are you there?"

Bian Youli deliberately lowered his voice: "Who is outside the door?"

"My lord, we are from the post house. We heard that there are assassins passing by, so we are here to add some guards for you."

Jiang Yan held the knife behind his back, walked slowly to the latch, and opened the door.

Fortunately, they are indeed from the posthouse.

When they entered the house, they saw a mess all over the place. The leader turned pale with fright, and repeatedly apologized for his negligence.

Jiang Yan put down the knife silently, signaling to Bian Youli to put away the weapon, and then looked at the people who came: "Do you know the identities of these people?"

"My lord, forgive me," the visitor said with a bitter face, "I really don't know!"

"I don't know." Jiang Yan looked coldly at the men in black on the ground, "You ask people to see if they are dead or alive, lock them up and ask if they are alive, and then go to the palace to report to King Luo, saying that we want to see each other." she."

The visitor Nuonuo responded, and hurriedly sent someone to clean up the room, and served a few people some shocking wine, saying that he would ask the king for instructions the next day.

After the outsider left, Bian Youli asked Jiang Yan, "That's all?"

"What else can I do?" Jiang Yan glanced at the door indifferently, "We've seen King Luo, let's leave as soon as possible."

Bian Youli nodded, and then called the few people who were stuffed in the gap of the cabinet out to drink.Drinking the wine, Bian Youli couldn't help saying: "This wine is really good, the aroma has never been tasted before, but it still makes people feel familiar."

Li Shu walked through the ghost gate, still out of his mind, and took a sip absent-mindedly when he heard the words: "Wine is good wine, but I can't taste the familiarity."

"Master Li is frightened." Bian Youli smiled and poured him another glass, "Have a few more drinks, we will go back soon."
