Gongshang Confidante

The curtains inside the white tent with golden spires are painted with group paintings of hunting, depicting the knights returning with a full load of flags blown by the strong wind, full of momentum.

The tent has extended cloth eaves, and under the eaves are expensive cloth embroideries hanging one by one, like a windmill turning, making a tinkling sound.

The envoys of the Zhou Dynasty read out the imperial decree, expressing Emperor Jinghong's blessings for the marriage between the Guhe clan and the Jin clan.

The dinner was held before the distinguished guests arrived, which is nothing less than the greatest negligence. It can be seen that Shanyu of the Bone He tribe has a contemptuous heart towards Da Zhou. Therefore, when Zhou Chiyu walked in, the scene she saw made her face frosty and immature. Between the eyebrows and eyes, there was a sharp air condensed, which made people dare not despise him.

The lotus steps moved lightly, and Zhou Chiyu walked slowly under the attention of everyone. She was dressed in luxurious clothes, crimson court dress, with oriental beads on her head, and a ribbon around her waist. Afterwards, Ning Yuanwu, who was tall and strong, showed evil spirits in his eyes, exuding a sharp aura from his whole body.

Then on the left is Su Muxue in a vermilion official uniform, black gauze and green boots, without humility, with slow and heavy steps, with a solemn and authoritative expression, making people dare not covet her stunning face, and on the right is Fang Yu, an envoy of the Zhou Dynasty , wearing a green pine civil official uniform, holding an imperial decree in his hand, and walked forward slowly.

It was unexpected for this group of people to appear in the tent, but the aura was one that people dare not underestimate. After the music stopped dancing, they fell into silence, "It's a great honor!", Yiqianxie laughed twice, breaking the The room was silent, and everyone who was shocked came back to their senses, turned their heads and whispered.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Yiqianxie ordered the sound of the zither and the flute. There were 30 musicians playing the flute and the sheng and beating the drum. Some people in the tent passed in the wine and dishes one after another, and placed them in front of Zhou Chiyu and others. With the golden powder on his face, he was just ten years old, with delicate eyebrows, wearing a red wedding dress, his eyes stayed on Zhou Chiyu for a short time, and then moved away quickly, with a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Yuying bumped into His Highness the Princess today, let's have a drink with His Highness," Yiqianxie said, with a tone that could not be refused. He was over forty years old, dark-skinned, and somewhat thin. Under the strong guards around him, he had He is different from the thin and weak ones of the strong Guhe tribe, but he has sharp eyes, also wears a bright red wedding dress, but is the father of Yuying from the Shangyan clan who is about the same age.

Yuying did not dare to resist Yiqianxie's order, Yingying stood up, holding a luminous cup in her hand, filled with golden wine, walked up to Zhou Chiyu and stood still, and said in a loud voice, "Yuying from Yanshi I will apologize to Your Highness", after finishing speaking, he drank it all in one gulp, dripping with joy.

Zhou Chiyu nodded slightly, tilted his head and said, "This palace is too strong to drink, Mr. Fang should pay respects to Mrs. Yan." The envoy Fang Yu stood up, holding the wine glass in his hand, bowed to Yuying, drank the wine in the glass, and the noise in the banquet suddenly After a moment of silence, some people seemed to be looking towards this side, and some people simply put down their wine glasses, and their happy smiles gradually condensed on the corners of their mouths.

Yiqianxie is the Shanyu of the Guhe clan, and Yuying is the Yan clan, the most honorable woman of the Guhe clan, but Zhou Chiyu didn't respond to her toast, and asked his courtiers to do it for her.

Yuying concealed the unhappiness in her eyes, walked quickly back to the desk and sat down, Yiqianxie raised her hand and patted her hand, the smile on the corner of her mouth remained unchanged, Zhou Chiyu pursed his lips, straightened his waist, suddenly felt Looking from the side, Yiqianxie frowned slightly, and followed the trend, Yiqianxie noticed that her gaze

line, and said with a smile, "His Royal Highness, my eldest son Yi Muhe, and my second son Yi Muyu",

A group of people followed the trend, and only saw the most outstanding person in the banquet, the blue sky and silver blue robe, the sleeves were inlaid with snow-white sable hair, fastened with a bronze blue stone, and the hair was bundled in high bunches, blowing away from the cheeks , a lock of gold beads and silver braided with precious stones, the tails of the eyes are raised, the pupils are blue, the eyelashes are thick and long, as if wearing black ink eyeliner, the body is slightly slanted, looking unrestrained, the thin lips are smiling, and there is a round ring in the left ear. Sapphire, this person is strange, his cold soul is like a demon moon, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

Zhou Chiyu only glanced briefly, then looked away, and moved to the person next to him. Compared with the strange person, this person was much more normal, but Zhou Chiyu's eyelids twitched, and he turned away calmly. Looking at Su Muxue, they were also surprised to see her. They both looked at Ning Xiaobao who was sitting on the other side at the same time. That person shrugged innocently, showing that she didn't know.

This man was dressed in a smoky blue robe, dyed with landscape ink, a mixture of heroism and elegance, with a gentle smile, but it was Mu He who bet with Ning Xiaobao that night.

It turns out that Mu He is the eldest son of Yiqian Xie, Yi Mu He, and the strange man is his second son Yi Mu Yu.

"I have heard that Princess Zhaoning of the Zhou Dynasty was doted on by thousands of people. She is unparalleled in beauty and intelligent. She is indeed worthy of her name. And this lady official is even more beautiful and refined, and this prince is impressed." Yi Muyu praised, but his eyes were alone. Falling on the face of Su Muxue next to her, she was wearing a vermilion official uniform, her jade-colored skin was as clean as the morning snow, her eyebrows were as delicate as embroidery, and her eyes were shining and rippling. She was a beauty of just the right age, and That princess is too immature.

Yi Muyu's frivolous words made Zhou Chiyu's face somber. Ning Yuanwu slapped the table and raised his eyebrows coldly. When he was about to speak, Zhou Chiyu held him lightly and said lightly, "The Guhe clan is the Mobei clan. Back then, he was brave and resourceful, strengthened the Guhe tribe, annexed the tribe, and became famous. He was frightened when he heard about it. It is embarrassing that after the First World War, Shan Yu was shot by an arrow and recuperated for several months. , I don’t know how the second prince compares with Shan Yu back then?”,

When it comes to the first battle of aid, the expressions of the Guhe people changed again and again. Ten years ago, Shan Yuzheng of the Guhe tribe was in high spirits and provoked the border of the Zhou Dynasty several times. Then, he was severely injured by the Black Tiger Army. With an arrow in his chest, he narrowly escaped death. Later, he declared his defeat and surrendered to the Zhou Dynasty.

Ning Yuanwu's expression was slightly relaxed, his chin was raised, the envoys and guards of the Zhou Dynasty were all arrogant to everyone, showing their aura, Zhou Chiyu lowered his head, drank a sip of tea, his expression was calm, what she meant was, no matter how brave your father was back then, in the end They all surrender at my father's feet, what qualifications do you have to talk to me.

For a child like Zhou Chiyu who grew up in an environment of sarcasm and sarcastic sarcasm, Yi Muyu was her opponent who fought with words?

Absolutely cannot say that I am braver than my father, but modestly saying that I am worse than my father means that I should also bow to her, "You!", Yi Muyu's eyes were slightly sharp, revealing a ruthless light, and took advantage of the opportunity to hold the wine glass, "Yu'er", Yiqianxie said with a smile, "This son is very similar to the character of the king when he was young, he is not a great talent",

That's what he said, with doting eyes, he waved his hand and asked the beautiful maid to deliver a pot of good wine on his case to Yi Muyu, Yi Muyu answered with the corner of his mouth curled up, and covered his sleeves under the case, Spreading his palm, the wine glass shattered into powder and slipped from his fingertips. Zhou Chiyu smiled lightly and didn't care, but his eyes fell on Imuhe.

Compared to the second prince who was gaining popularity and was very popular with Shan Yu, as the eldest prince, he only cared about drinking with his head bowed and behaved in a well-behaved manner, almost making people forget his honorable status.

The banquet was in full swing, Yi Muyu was holding the wine glass, and his eyes lingered on Su Muxue's face, unscrupulously, a fire was lit outside the tent, the smell of fine wine permeated the air, there was a joyous noise, outside the raised curtain, A group of bare-armed and broad-waisted warriors were fighting in pairs, and the dust was flying, and people kept applauding.

Zhou Chiyu glanced at Fang Yu, Fang Yu immediately stood up with interest, cupped his hands and said, "The night is already deep..." "Envoy, don't worry", Yiqian interrupted him with a smile, and said, "Yu'er, can the Modun warriors outside the account be selected?",

Yi Muyu waved his hand, someone walked up to his ear and whispered something, he stood up and said with a smile, "He's come out, it's Sangluo from the Gema tribe", Yiqian laughed and said, "Sangpu's son Sure enough, brave, pass it in."

After a while, someone led them in, and saw that this person was seven feet tall, two heads taller than the person next to him, tall and muscular, standing in the tent, his hands almost touched the top, his skin was dark, Fiercely, with blood stains on his two big hands, he wiped the hem of his robe casually a few times, as if his hands were so big that they could easily twist a person's head off.

That Fang Yu is a frail scholar, he has never seen such a vicious person, his complexion turned pale immediately, and he forced himself to be calm. If it hadn't been for Ning Yuanwei's instructions to be careful and not to mess around before the trip, he would have patted this bunch of guys to the ground long ago.

Ten years ago, the hearty battle broke out, and the allied forces displayed the power of the Zhou Dynasty, making all the tribes on the border afraid to invade.Over the years, Emperor Jing Hong was weak and gentle. He advocated the national policy of recuperation and rejuvenation, and did not want blood to flow into rivers. However, this kindness was regarded by foreigners as cowardice and tolerance.

The Guhe clan's ambitions are not dead. After annexing the remote tribes, they married with the Jin clan and completely became the biggest force in Mobei.

The marriage between the Guhe clan and the Jin clan is extremely important to the power of Mobei. Emperor Jing Hong also knew about it. He asked Ning Yuanwu to lead the Black Tiger Army to go away with the intention of congratulations. Deterrence.

What the brothers of the Ning family couldn't guess was, what was the purpose of Emperor Jing Hong sending the young Princess Zhaoning to Mobei?

Mobei is desolate, and Princess Zhaoning is still young. What should I do if she is in danger on the way, or if she loses her sense of proportion in front of the brutal Guhe clan and damages Da Zhou's face?

Ning Yuanwu looked at Zhou Chiyu worriedly, but saw that her expression was as usual, thinking that she had wittily responded to Yi Muyu's provocation before, and she was calm in the face of danger, so she couldn't help sighing secretly at the moment, Princess Zhaoning is indeed brave and resourceful, worthy of the emperor's trust Candidates for envoys.

"Your Royal Highness, the Guhe clan coincides with the three-yearly Modun Grand Meeting, where the most heroic man and the most outstanding woman will be selected. Since the visitors are guests, why not witness it?" Yiqianxie said. Said with a smile.
