The Qiang envoy roared loudly, and the translator at the palace told me that he was asking me why I neglected him and whether I still wanted to fight. If I still wanted to fight, he would lead the golden cavalry of the grassland, representing their sacred king and queen, Break through thirteen levels, slaughter three hundred cities, and kill all the stupid people in this stupid land...

I couldn't help but interrupted: "I didn't mean to be negligent. It's because I was injured and unwell in your country's Huzier Shizi army before, so I saw you late."

The Qiang envoy stated that their holy king and queen had severely punished Huqier, and expressed serious concern about the misfortune I suffered.

I said that your holy queen is my sister. I don't know if my sister and your king are in harmony and get along happily.

He said that I don't need to worry about it, their sacred queen's body comes from the stupid land, but their soul comes from the beautiful sky above the Dama grassland, and the holy king is a destined companion...

How difficult it is to communicate across cultures.After three hours of negotiations, the two parties finally held their noses and signed a piece of paper - both of them believed that this piece of paper was stinky, and that the degree of loss of power and humiliation of the country was the highest in history.

The agreement stipulated that the Northern Qiang would return the three cities of Cangzhou, and Daxing would have to "pay" the Northern Qiang 60 catties of refined iron and [-] shi of grain at one time.

After signing the agreement, I went back to Shibo Terrace and thought about it, and sent someone to quietly mix stone sand and croton into the 60 shi grains.

King Liang helped me back and had dinner with me, chewing plum cake and laughing.Said: "It's better to add arsenic/cream directly."

This bold idea really seduced me.The servant of the household department wiped the sweat from his brow: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, do you want to add... arsenic/cream?"

I sighed: "Forget it, it's too late, there isn't that much arsenic/scent at the moment."

After the little servant left, His Royal Highness King Liang said that if it weren't for the Western Qiang to contain the militant Prince Zhu Le of the Eastern Qiang, the arsenic/cream could indeed be added.

I pushed his close mouth away: "Are you happy this time?"

He looked at me with a faint smile.

I hastily said: "I can't come again tonight. I'll go to Hongdu Mansion with you tomorrow. My master is in their ice room. Take a look too. It's an elder."

He nodded: "Then I will wait for you at the gate of the palace tomorrow morning."

"?" I withdrew my hand, "What, going out to sleep?"

He looked at my steamed bun hand: "I have to beat that kid again."

I had no choice but to wave my hand: "Okay, then you go."

He got up and put on his cloak, fastened the belt and said, "There is also a tiger cub, I will bring it to you tomorrow."

I smiled: "Got it. It's almost dawn, let's go."

He walked to the door and turned to look at me again: "Fourteen, the identity of that child..."

"It's not that I don't believe you," I explained while flipping through the papers on my desk, "I just have to send someone to go to the regulations to check. In a few days, I will ask Yan Wang to come to recognize him. Although he is the grandson of the elder brother, I still plan to send him Put it under the genealogy of King Yan first, and treat it as an adoptive one, so as to win over the third brother. And you, I have already issued a notice of your identity, and only withdrew your jade certificate from the Department of Internal Affairs, and the rest are free , As usual, without sticking to customary etiquette. Of course, the title of king will not be withdrawn, and it will be convenient for you to handle the affairs of the general's mansion as a king."

"Understood." He stopped to stare, and smiled leisurely, "Uncle Fourteen, don't worry."

"..." He still called me Uncle, which made me shake a certain adult's notebook into the inkstone in a daze.You can count your seniority by snapping your fingers: his own father, Jiang Fang, and my eldest brother, the crown prince, are called brothers—then I am still from the old man's generation!

As he continued to be dazed, the nephew who was not the nephew suddenly turned back and gave me a "suffocating" bear hug unexpectedly—suffocating like the one that knocked me out five years ago!

how do I……"

He let go quickly, and before I could see his expression clearly, he turned his head and was blown out like a tornado.

"?" I stretched my neck and saw him jumping down the white stone steps, as if he had gone to the red maple forest instead of taking a shortcut, "... crazy!"

However, there was a lingering lingering warmth from the hug on my shoulders, chest, and chest. It was so warm that my heart softened and collapsed.

I felt that the bed under my body was no longer the cold city wall, and the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood disappeared into thin air. A piece of fragrant and soft flowers and plants grew out of thin air. The slanting branches and tendrils firmly held my three souls who were about to go west, and were about to go to the west. The seven souls going east.

Is this living?

I looked down uneasily, only to see that the flowers and plants were growing without roots, and under the clouds and smoke, there was a vast emptiness everywhere.

Get up the next morning.

"Your Majesty?" Tang Gao called out, "His Royal Highness Liang has been waiting outside for a long time, are you going to court today?"

I opened my eyes, saw that the court time had passed again, and hurriedly got up: "We are not going to court, Xu Chang'an, go to the front and tell him that he will have two days off to rest."

Candied came forward with her boots in her hands, and said happily, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Liang has a tiger cub in his arms, like a snowball, with eyes as blue as the water of a lake!"

I put on my casual robe: "Please come in, King Liang."

His Royal Highness Prince Liang was really holding a white-haired cub in his arms, still wearing the black cloak he wore last night, with a layer of fine snow falling on his shoulders, he smiled when he saw me: "It's been a while since I haven't seen Uncle Fourteen, so I came here on my own. "

The little tiger grabbed his arm and looked at me, his lake-blue eyeballs rolled around.

I pinched a piece of dried meat in the food box next to it and handed it over. It took a bite and licked my fingertips with its moist tongue.I turned around and washed my hands, and said with a smile, "It's snowing outside again? Have you had breakfast? Have some more with me. Does this little guy have a name?"

Candy, cakes and candied fruit clothed the dishes and left quietly.The imperial nephew put the tiger cub on the ground, washed his hands with my water, took off his cloak, and sat down with me in front of the food table: "It's not snowing heavily, so we can still go out in a carriage. It doesn't have a name yet. Fourteen will give it to me." indivual?"

The tiger cubs circled around me, sniffing and sniffing, scratching and playing with the tassels hanging from my waist.I tapped the tiger's head: "Hey, it's really familiar with itself, and it's not afraid of life, so let's call it 'fearless'."

The emperor's nephew smiled slowly: "I thought you would call it 'Tathagata'."

I shook my head and took a sip of porridge: "The past should not be remonstrated."

Wuwei seemed to be very satisfied with his name, excitedly, the little milk tooth pushed hard, and my tassels were "divided into five horses", and the tassels were scattered all over the ground.It startled itself too, jumped on the spot, stared blankly at the beads running all over the ground for a moment, and started to "chase the beads".

I wrapped my robe, got up and went to the cabinet to find a new belt: "This is probably a brother of Wuyou."

The emperor's nephew followed me, and stretched his hands from behind to wrap around my waist. Before I could find my belt, he fumbled inside my clothes.

I randomly pulled out a belt from the bottom of the cabinet and stuffed it into his hand: "Don't mess around, your son is watching."

Zheng Wuwei grabbed my shoe toe with his front paws, tilted his hairy head, and cast a curious look.

The emperor's nephew pulled out his hand to tie my belt: "The cage is outside in the carriage, shall I fetch it?"

I bent down and picked up the white fur ball, and pulled out the black jade bead from its mouth: "No, let's hold it as a hand stove. Did you see Wei Pei ahead? Let's go with him."

"Master Wei originally wanted to wait for His Majesty to join him, but I saw that it was too cold outside, so I let him go back. Uncle Fourteen will finish his meal slowly before leaving."

I just didn't wake up sleepy, so I simply hugged the "hand stove" and sat down to eat slowly.

Halfway through the meal, Tang Gao tremblingly knocked on the door and said, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager heard that the court will be closed for two days. Please move to the Suihan Palace when you have time. It is said that many foreign wives and their relatives have recently entered the palace to celebrate the spring. There are several daughters who have not left yet."

I pressed Zheng Wuwei's paw, "grabbing food from the mouth of a tiger", picked up a chopstick of shredded venison, and said with a headache: "I will leave the palace today, let's talk about it tomorrow, who will send it to the palace next time, so that the queen mother does not have to Don't worry about others, please go out."

The emperor's nephew served me porridge on the opposite side. He lowered his eyelids and kept silent.

Zheng Wuwei was so annoyed by my pressing, he turned his head and bared his fangs at me with an "ahhhh".I was afraid of being bitten, and as soon as I let go, it stepped on the table full of dishes and threw itself into the arms of the emperor's nephew, turned around and grabbed the side of the food table, and continued to bark its fangs at me.

I got up and put on my windbreaker, and smiled: "Little guy, who are you complaining about?"

The imperial nephew put down "Justice Maker" and got up to help me fasten my hood.

I held his trembling hand and swore to the sky: "Don't worry, there won't be any in the future. If I don't establish an empress, I won't register as a concubine. If the country still exists after death, the throne will be passed on to my nephews and grandchildren. , it can be regarded as returning to the original owner.”

He raised his eyes, looked at me quietly for a moment, then suddenly hugged me, poking my neck with his chin: "If you say you regret it now, we will act as if nothing happened. Fourteen, are you more desolate to me today than yesterday? "

Immediately, I felt an invisible force overwhelm me—are men also so sensitive?Then I looked at his hands and pockets vigilantly—will he give me another bowl of "Wangchuan Water"?I hurriedly tilted my head to kiss the corner of his mouth, and remedied: "Didn't I just... I have to do something today, so I can wait..."

He parted my neckline, kissed my neck, and rubbed his fangs against the pulsating veins on the side of my neck, almost biting me to death.

I don't know why I didn't smooth my hair this time, so I just leaned my neck up and kissed him casually.

So today I had to change into a windbreaker with a more vigorous fur collar and go out.

It was noon when we arrived at Hongdu Mansion.The officials were eating in the side courtyard, Wei Pei greeted me directly, led me to a row of "staff dormitories" in the backyard, opened one of the rooms that he said was his, and invited me and His Royal Highness King Liang to sit down for a while.

I sat on the cold little bench, facing the two bowls of green onion noodles in front of the desk, and planned to go back and present Mr. Wei with the "Two Sleeves Breeze" award.

Master Wei carefully pointed at Zheng Wuwei in my arms, and said: "Your Majesty, it..."

I put chopped scallions in the bowl of His Royal Highness King Liang, and decided to save some food expenses for the Hongdu Mansion: "It's not hungry, you can hug me for a while, and I will eat noodles."

Wei Pei was not afraid, he just reached out and took it.Zheng Wuwei took a moment to protest to me that he wasn't hungry, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" he kicked his legs and jumped off the ground, then turned around and threw himself on the food table.

My nephew and I both picked up our jobs.As soon as it fell to nothing, it burst into grief, howled and plunged into my arms, came up and scratched my mink collar...

The imperial nephew looked at me and said with a smile: "It's not that it's not afraid of life, it smells."

...I put down the bowl, covered my collar with one hand, squeezed Zheng Wuwei down with the other, and threw it to the imperial nephew: "Go to your father!"

His Royal Highness King Liang caught Zheng Wuwei, and said to Wei Pei: "Master Wei, I'm sorry."

Master Wei calmly said: "It's okay. Please finish eating as soon as possible, Your Majesty and Your Highness, General Song just woke up, and he might faint in a while."

"!" I put down my chopsticks, "Then why are you eating? Take me there!"

Behind the backyard of Hongdu Mansion is a small garden close to Taizhao Lake.The water of Taizhao Lake comes from the long river passing by in the north of the city.On the other side is the turret at the southwest corner of the imperial palace, facing "Tingxiang Mountain" to the west, and "Bu Ye Fang", the busiest downtown in Kyoto, to the east.The superior geographical location has led to high land prices near the lake, and the rich and wealthy have built houses and gardens on the south bank of the lake.The Hongdu Mansion and the small garden behind it were copied from a criminal rich businessman by the imperial court during Emperor Wu's reign.

The name of the garden is "Meng Xiao". It is said that many purple hydrangeas will bloom in summer, attracting many big blue butterflies.But now in winter, the branches and leaves are sparse, the ground is covered with snow quilts, and there is only one young servant in green clothes sweeping the snow in the corner of the courtyard with a big broom in his arms.

Wei Pei led the way, walked through the veranda, and came to a door, where he saw a maid squatting guarding the medicine stove.Open the thick curtain and go in, the imperial doctor is coming out, kneeling in front of the door.

I asked the imperial doctor to get up and asked how he was doing.The imperial physician said softly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, General Song's life is safe, but his legs may..."

I saw that his words were wrong, so I quickly interrupted, and I took the emperor's nephew and Wei Pei to the inner room.

Xiao Guan was feeding Song Fei medicine, when the two of them heard the sound, they both stood up and bowed, I hurriedly excused myself.

King Song Feichao Liang grinned and said, "Your Highness, the last general made a mistake earlier, but Cangbei and Cangnan are so dangerous."

He was already thin and tall, but now lying like this, he looks more like a skinny frame, with only a pair of eyes full of vitality, talking to King Liang, but glances at Xiao Guan who is at the side.Xiao Guan put down the medicine bowl, stood neatly on one side, only staring down at his toes.I thought about Song Baboo's soft words, and Xiao Guan probably told the church face-to-face, and said with a smile: "I won't mention the previous matter. You have made meritorious service in killing the two kings Jin and Qi this time, and take good care of your wounds. What you want is up to me." .”

Liang Wang also nodded at the side, signaling his own people to speak boldly with his eyes.

But Song Fei shook his head slowly: "I didn't kill King Jin."
