Jun You Ji Fou

All the palace guards in the hall in front of the Xuanshi retreated, and even the air in the big hall seemed a bit dignified. Li Yanzhen sat alone on the top seat, Chu Mingyun, Su Shiyu and the envoys from Loulan Kingdom stood on both sides.

The guard who sent the message informed Su Shiyu of the situation in detail on the way: Loulan came to the border city to meet the princess as agreed that day, but found that the inn was dead silent. The anger was nauseating, and Loulan's most beloved noble princess fell to the ground with her face covered in disheveled hair, her white arms stained with blood were stretched out, as if she had tried her best to catch something.

Lord Loulan almost fainted after hearing the news, and roared that he would send troops immediately, but was forcefully persuaded by his courtiers repeatedly, and then agreed to send an envoy.

After saying that, the guard asked eagerly: "My lord, the world is rarely peaceful. Will there be another war because of this?"

Su Shiyu frowned tightly and did not answer.The car curtain rises and falls with the wind while driving fast, and the road outside the window is full of flowers blooming, and the spring scenery is picturesque.

In the hall, the envoy of Loulan looked gloomy, but still bowed politely, and said straight to the point: "I ask Daxia to take responsibility for the murder of our Royal Highness!"

Li Yanzhen didn't answer for a while, but Chu Mingyun said, "It's natural, please be patient, Mr. Messenger, we have sealed off the border gates to search for the suspects, if there is any news, we will let you know in time."

The envoy looked at Chu Mingyun, "Isn't it good that the Taiwei is so evasive in his speech?"

"Oh—?" Chu Mingyun turned sideways to meet his gaze, "I don't quite understand what you mean."

"Great Xia is a great country, but now that our princess has been killed in your territory, can it be easily solved by simply finding out?"

"Otherwise?" Chu Mingyun said, "It's only natural to solve the case and catch the murderer. If this can be regarded as avoiding the serious and taking the light, then what is the envoy's intention?"

"There is no way to guarantee the safety of the envoys within the borders, and to shirk responsibility after an accident. Is this the way of Daxia?" Nothing to do?"

"You can't say that," Chu Mingyun said. "Aside from us, the Loulan royal family knows the whereabouts of Her Royal Highness. Since it was an ambush at the border, it's hard to say who leaked the news."

Su Shiyu next to him was startled when he heard the words.

The envoy asked in a cold voice: "Master Taiwei has said so much, how dare you say that you are not shirking responsibility?!"

Chu Mingyun said without a tone: "I just brought up a possible situation, why are you so excited?"

"you--"

"My lord envoy, please calm down a little," Su Shiyu said suddenly, "This matter is a common pain between Daxia and Loulan, arguing will be useless after all, it will only add to the grievances, now only the two countries candidly cooperate to find the murderer as soon as possible. "

The attitude of the other party is gentle and polite, even if the messenger is angry, he will not be able to relapse.

Chu Mingyun turned his head to look at Su Shiyu, "What did Mr. Su think of?"

He did.At the moment when Chu Mingyun's words fell, the complicated and rapid thoughts suddenly froze and became silent, and something struggled out and emerged clearly.

It should not be too early to send envoys to visit, and Mu Lahe, who is the princess, should not visit in person.

only……

——"I have found my sweetheart."

——"Father has already agreed to let us get married, and this time he is the one who asked me to tell you."

"Master Messenger, may I ask if Your Royal Highness is about to marry a Han businessman?" Su Shiyu asked.

"Master Yushi is referring to Mr. Ji Heng?"

"Do you know where the other person is after the incident?"

"I don't care about it, he..." The envoy's words suddenly stopped and his face changed.

Seeing the envoy's reaction, several people present understood.Li Yanzhen finally said: "Since we have a clue, then quickly send an order to arrest this person."

The envoy responded, his expression changed, and he finally looked at Su Shiyu and said, "But how did the censor suspect him? Someone set up an ambush in Daxia territory, and Ji Heng is a Han merchant. I don't know if there is something wrong with this What connection?"

Chu Mingyun narrowed his eyes slightly, sneered secretly, and repeatedly emphasized that Daxia was responsible at the beginning, but now the Loulan envoy finally couldn't help showing his intention clearly.

The dead cannot be resurrected, and it is better to seek benefits than to be persistent. This is what planning and calculation should be like, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Su Shiyu said indifferently: "Master Messenger, do you think there is a connection?"

Before the envoy could say anything, Li Yanzhen raised her hand to stop their conversation, and sighed, "I understand what the envoy means, and I will definitely order someone to investigate thoroughly, but this happened in the territory, and Daxia is indeed to blame .”

The envoy turned around and bowed his head to Li Yanzhen, "Since His Majesty said so, I feel at ease. However, although Loulan is a small country, its national power is not as strong as that of Great Xia, and I hope His Majesty will be more fair."

Li Yanzhen glanced at Chu Mingyun and Su Shiyu who were standing at the bottom, and said: "Back then, the Lord of Loulan married three cities as a dowry, so he should pay for the three cities. Please regard it as marrying the princess to Daxia."

The three cities in the desert cannot be compared with the three cities in the Central Plains. The compensation offered far exceeded expectations. The envoy was surprised and amazed. Before the joy surfaced, he heard Chu Mingyun say coldly:

"Your Majesty, be careful."

Su Shiyu also said: "Your Majesty, according to the usual practice, the specific compensation issue needs to be discussed in the court meeting before it can be decided."

Li Yanzhen fell silent.

The envoy's expression was slightly distorted. He understood what was going on in the Great Xia Dynasty. The two people who made the decisions at the court meeting were only Chu Mingyun and Su Shiyu.

Chu Mingyun had a strong sense of aggression, so the envoy's eyes fell on Su Shiyu, "My lord Yushi, our princess treats you like an elder brother. Now that she was killed in your territory, her body is still alive. Are you still arguing about compensation?"

Su Shiyu's eyes darkened, and he remained silent for a while.

Chu Mingyun chuckled, "Don't the messenger care more about compensation?"

Seeing that there was a tendency to quarrel again, Su Shiyu sighed lightly, and said: "My lord envoy's words are true, and His Royal Highness has treated me with sincerity. I am grateful." He paused, "It is precisely because of this that I hope to Talk to Messenger alone."

The envoy didn't understand, so Su Shiyu asked Li Yanzhen to salute, and after receiving the answer, he raised his hand as a gesture of invitation, "Please, envoy, please go to the side hall with me to have a talk."

The envoy was somewhat hesitant, hesitantly followed.

Without Li Yanzhen's onlooker, Su Shiyu would have less restraint when negotiating with the envoy, but even though he was good at rhetoric and had many means, Da Xia could not escape the responsibility for Mu Lahe's tragic death after all.

This negotiation was extremely difficult, and it was not until Qianjia Luozhao that they reluctantly reached an agreement to change the cession of land into compensation.The envoy's face was extremely ugly when he left, but he got permission after reporting to Li Yanzhen, and he only had to discuss it in detail in the morning.

Su Shiyu walked back home alone under the setting sun. He looked down at the afterglow flowing on the bluestone boards under his feet, as if blood was winding away.

I don't know if the green-eyed girl saw such a scene when she closed her eyes, I don't know how she felt when she was killed by her sweetheart, I don't know if she recalled the wedding that she and Su Shiyu agreed to go to at that moment, The doomed wedding.

Such a silly girl, perhaps it was she who told the other party the route herself.

In fact, Su Shiyu knew that with Mu Lahe's status in the heart of the Lord of Loulan, the three cities might not be able to relieve the slightest pain, but even so, he could not respond to the request of Loulan's envoy.

The family and the country are above all, and the personal relationship is small, and it is not enough.

It's just that if Jiuquan's Mu Lahe has feelings, if he knows what he looks like, will he regret calling him brother, just like...the bitter Su Xing in the water prison that day.

Thinking of this, Su Shiyu smiled softly, a little tiredness appeared between his brows and eyes, which disappeared in an instant.

Not long after, news came that Ji Heng had been arrested, confessed to all crimes, and was being escorted from Zhenjiang to Chang'an.

Hearing the words, Su Shiyu just nodded and ordered people to step back, without expressing much, and continued to review the official document folded and folded, when he picked up one of the pages, something suddenly slipped down on the case.

The letter was sealed in red with a yellow background, and a corner of the seal was torn open.

Su Shiyu was startled, and looked at it quietly for a long time, then slowly stretched out his hand, hesitating rarely, and opened the letter little by little.

Although the letter paper is thick, because of Mulla and crooked characters, the content is not too much.Su Shiyu recognized and read the past word by word, and couldn't help but smile a little.

The first half of the letter did not have the standard style that Han people usually have. It was all written by Mu La and casual, starting from the places in Chang'an City that she thought were delicious and fun these days, and then suddenly referred to Loulan a few days ago. A few bouquets of novelty flowers bloomed.

Su Shiyu turned a page, and the smile on his lips faded.

"An Yinuo doesn't even blush when he tells a lie! Later, I memorized the tone and asked several Han people, and they all said that was the name of the two of you. That group of people were talking bad about you that day, and you still say no!"

"I just realized that the Han people are not all that nice. I don't know why I've been hearing bad things about you these days, but I thought you seemed unhappy to let me know, so I held back and didn't fight them. stand up."

"Have you heard that our Loulan women can read minds? Han people are stupid so they can't tell, but I know you are very good."

"An Yinuo has the best tenderness in the world."

Aino has the best tenderness in the world.

I am afraid that only Mu Lahe can write a sentence that does not make sense.

Su Shiyu's hand holding the letter tightened suddenly and trembled slightly. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath very slowly, and relaxed again.Su Shiyu stared at the line with lowered eyebrows for a long, long time, and finally gave a very light wry smile.

Su Shiyu turned to the last page, and the moment the ink stains jumped into his eyes, he was completely stunned.

"An Yinuo didn't answer the question that came up that day, and I seem to already know the answer."

"so……"
