feast turned assassination

Excluding the servants and servants who were not on the stage, Kang Guo had submitted a letter of credence earlier, and there were a total of ten envoys with names and surnames.

The leader is Kang Guoqian Tanhualang, named Yanchi.Dressed in a red court dress, she is very young, but her brows are extraordinarily stable.

The two deputy envoys, one is Xu Lin, the cousin of Xu Ji, the son of King Zhao, and the other is Wang Chong, the younger brother of the eldest princess's husband's family, who is also the uncle of noble concubine Xu Ji.

Among the missions, these three really have the right to speak, and this kind of primary and secondary collocation is actually very interesting.

Xu Ji's throne was not secure.Accompanying Luo Dai to the country of Yan earlier almost wiped out all the achievements he had made in the six months since he ascended the throne.From this point of view, no one can replace Luo Dai's position in his heart.

But comparing the two evils, whichever is the lesser, no matter how serious Luo Dai is, it cannot be more serious than the throne.At that time, there was chaos in the country, Xu Ji chose to leave Luo Dai behind.If we want to save people now, we still have to look forward and look backward and make many trade-offs.

From the composition of the mission this time, it can be seen that Xu Ji is not a man of his word in Kang, even after the two countries get married and marry a wife, he still needs to compromise and bow his head to the powerful.

The chief envoy, Yanchi, might be his person, with the task of bringing this marriage back to Luodai.The other two deputy envoys probably did not know the real purpose of the marriage, otherwise the mission would not have come to fruition.And not only do they not want to facilitate the marriage between the two countries, they will even secretly obstruct——

As far as Prince Zhao and his son were concerned, Xu Ji married Princess Yan and became the sister-in-law of Emperor Yan, so he had a solid backer, and it would be difficult to push him down.As far as the Wang family is concerned, the position of queen should belong to their own family, how can they be handed over to others.

According to Pei Jili's report, Taifu heard the news during the reception of the mission that there was no harmony within the mission.

Since they are not monolithic and they know their respective purposes, there is an opportunity to break them one by one.

The messenger stood still in the hall.

The chief envoy Yanchi stepped forward and said: "My servant would like to follow my emperor's order and offer a gift to Emperor Yan. I wish the two countries will forever be friends from Qin to Jin. Long live the destiny of the emperor, a thousand years of health for the queen mother, a thousand years of peace for the queen, princess Your Highness will live forever."

After the high-sounding congratulatory speech, Yan Chi introduced the treasures brought by Song Yun and Qi Chou to the audience in turn—the official dowry has already been given—the mission originally had ten people, but there were only nine people present at this time, and the one who was not present It is said that it is not suitable to face you when you are not acclimatized to the disease.

Each of the nine held a tray in their hands.There are a total of ten treasures, three each for the emperor and princess, and two each for the empress dowager and queen.

Song Yun glanced at the Kang Guo envoys holding presents one by one. Among them, the envoys holding two congratulatory gifts to the Queen Mother were tall and tall, even standing in the back row, they were taller than the people in front.He raised his eyes and met Song Yun's eyes.

Song Yun understood instantly, and Luo Fu, who was dressed as a court lady, accepted the gift.

Qi Chou took over the queen and princess's two copies, but he was not very interested. He glanced at it and boasted: "Kang Guo is a land of outstanding people, and the gifts you give are all treasures. Your emperor has a heart."

The envoys were seated, and the singing and dancing continued.

During the mingling of toasts and cups, Qi Chou buried his head in drinking again and again, looking preoccupied.During the period, the confidant eunuch went back and forth several times, but they didn't seem to bring any good news. Every time Qi Yu whispered in his ear, his face became more ugly.

When the song and dance alternated, Yanchi made a toast and said: "My emperor has admired the princess for a long time. Since the wedding date was set, he has used all the power of the whole country to search for treasures as a dowry gift. When I was about to leave, my emperor repeatedly asked me to take The princess was welcomed back to the palace safely to show that the friendship between the two countries is cherished. On the occasion of this feast, I invite your majesty to allow me to greet the future mother of Dakang."

As soon as the words fell, Qi Chou's ugly face was completely overcast. He pinched the wine glass for a long time before filling the glass with the rim against his clenched teeth.

"Since you are the mother of the country, how can you show your face so easily? The wedding is approaching. After getting married on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the twelve princesses will go to Kang Kingdom with the mission." Qi Yu looked at the envoy below seriously, "I have sent the princess to the king of your country before. The portrait, the wedding date is set on the fifteenth day, but now I can't wait for the big wedding day, I have to send envoys to see it face to face. Could it be that your country is afraid that the picture of my Princess Dayan does not match the truth, and that she is not worthy to serve you as Kang Guo Queen?"

Qi Chou spoke quickly and raised his voice. After finishing speaking, he put the wine glass on the table vigorously, and the wine liquid was shaken out, splashing a dark stain.

Yan Chi leaned over and said anxiously: "My emperor has absolutely no such intentions! I dare not offend the princess. The two countries are of the same mind! Calm down, Your Majesty!"

Qi Chou's face was flushed, a thin layer of sweat was already forming on his forehead, his chest heaved violently, he let out a breath of relief slowly, and waved his hands: "That's all. The envoys don't need to panic. I only have this younger sister, so naturally I value it very much."

"Your Majesty is brotherly and friendly, kind to the king, and respectful to you." Although Yan Chi couldn't look up, he still didn't miss Qi Chou's overly intense emotions from the corner of his eye.According to the established covenant, this should not be the case.

After returning to the banquet, Yanchi frowned even more when he heard the two assistant envoys sing and speak inappropriately.This mission will not go smoothly.

Song Yun, who was sitting at the top, had a panoramic view of everyone's expressions and reactions, including Qi Chou.

Suspicion has arisen, and I feel uneasy.

The time has come, it's time to do it.

Song Yun gestured to Pei Jili with his eyes, and soon a servant rushed over and whispered something in Song Yun's ear. Song Yun's face turned pale instantly, his hands trembled and he even knocked over the wine glass.

He obviously couldn't sit still, and said that he needed to go back to the harem to change his dirty clothes, but he couldn't even stand steadily, and was supported by Luo Fu to get up and hurried back to the Compassionate Ning Palace.

Qi Chou squinted his eyes in confusion, and everyone at the table got up to watch.

At the same time, the particularly tall member of the Kang Guo Mission pulled out a dagger from his boots, strode straight towards Song Yun, and stabbed down fiercely with the dagger.

Luo Fu pulled Song Yun away in time, and did not hide his skills in desperation, and kicked the messenger's wrist with a kick.However, due to the huge difference in stature and physical strength, she failed to sweep away the dagger.

The man quickly vacated his hand and switched to holding the dagger in his left hand. His strikes were still fierce, and he stabbed Song Yun's vitals. Luo Fu was powerless to fight back and could only back away step by step to protect Song Yun.

The scene was chaotic, Concubine Rou exclaimed, but she was about to rush towards the gangster, but was dragged back by Qi Chouhong's eyes pinching her arms.

The Taifu shouted "Guardian", and also stepped forward to protect him.But after all, he didn't have the time to spare, so Pei Jili protected Song Yun one step ahead of him.Without a weapon at hand, he picked up a copper lamp half a person's height and blocked the dagger that almost fell on Song Yun's heart.

Lamp oil splashed out, and a drop landed between Song Yun's eyebrows.Song Yun groaned in pain, Pei Jili was distracted and turned around, but was hit by the assassin's elbow on the shoulder, fell to the side and did not forget to smash the copper lamp at the assassin, "Take the queen mother away!"

Because of Pei Jili's delay for a moment, Luo Fu took Song Yun to escape in time. Seeing that the guards surrounded him and could no longer chase him, the assassin turned around and tried to assassinate the emperor.

Pei Jili chased up and fought with him for a while, but failed to catch him in the end, and watched him escape from the eaves and walls of the hall.

A sudden and thrilling assassination at a feast, Qi Chou was surrounded by guards to protect him, and the shrill cries of a woman beside his ear pierced him, and he regained his senses.

Qi Chou lifted the guards and looked at the astonished Kang Guo mission below with a sneer: "Okay! Okay! This is how your Kang country begs to marry the princess! Xu Ji..." Qi Chou gritted his teeth and read out the name, He wished he could tear apart his flesh, "He is really my good sister-in-law! That's how he begs for help! He wants someone... I will definitely let him get what he wants!"
