543, gift?
His Highness the Princess could catch someone back to the government office after having breakfast, which naturally attracted everyone's attention. After receiving the news, Zhu Yaohong, Huang Jingxuan and others all left their affairs to show concern for the princess, and by the way, they would see what the person who dared to trouble the princess on the first day looked like.
Xia Qi felt that it was particularly wrong. He was not here to trouble Princess Shenyou? He just wanted to talk to Princess Shenyou. Who knew what the princess was doing and started fighting after a disagreement. Xia Qi, who was thrown in the lobby to visit like a monkey, couldn't help but secretly complaining in her heart.
Huang Jingxuan said enthusiastically: "I haven't seen such a blind eye for a long time. As expected, the people in the north just have too little knowledge." Anyway, few officials in Pingjing dare to make her feel uncomfortable in front of Princess Shenyou. Even if they are dissatisfied, they can only mutter a few words in secret. Chu Ling leaned on the main seat, supported her chin with one hand and glanced at everyone lazily, saying, "Are you all okay?"
Huang Jingxuan hurriedly said, "You have reported to the princess, the army has been fully placed. The defenses in all parts of the city have also been arranged properly. Please inform the princess!"
Chu Ling looked at him with a smile and said, "I heard you had a fight with someone last night?" Huang Jingxuan and Shangguan Yunru's faces changed slightly, and they said in unison: "Go back to the princess, there is no such thing!" Chu Ling smiled and said, "Is that so? I heard that this is not the case. The two are amazing. They can fight with someone as soon as they arrived in Liangzhou. Uh... the point is that they actually lost?" Shangguan Yunru was fine, he was originally a place to join in the fun, but Huang Jingxuan, the culprit, suddenly lost his face, "Princess..."
Chu Ling said: "Tell me, who did you fight with?"
Huang Jingxuan whispered: "The princess knows that we have lost, can we still not know who we are fighting with?"
Chu Ling smiled and said, "I want to hear you say it in person."
Huang Jingxuan was suddenly even more listless, "It's... a hunter outside the city."
Chu Ling nodded and said, "It's great. I asked famous people to teach you for several years, but I couldn't beat a hunter?" Huang Jingxuan couldn't help but wail, "Princess, that guy is a pretty bull! I accidentally caught his Taoist, if I beat him again, I would definitely not lose." Shangguan Yunru glanced at him and gave him a sympathetic look. It's easy for a bull to stop the scene if he brags. Then the hunter is clearly born with divine power.
Chu Ling raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? Since you are so confident, look for the hunter to come over and you will fight again."
"I..." was joking.
"Um?"
"Yes, princess." Huang Jingxuan said listlessly.
After suppressing his spirit of watching the show, Chu Ling turned his head and looked at Xia Qi on the ground. Xia Qi was originally a little unhappy when the Princess Shenyou threw him aside and was just kidding with his subordinates. However, when Princess Shenyou's eyes fell on him, Xia Qi couldn't help feeling a chill. The gaze was clearly not so sharp, and there was no emotion in it. But for some reason, Xia Qi felt as if he had been seen through in an instant.
After calming down, Xia Qi said in a deep voice: "God bless Princess, what do you mean?"
Chu Ling turned his head slightly and said, "Don't you want to talk to me? You can talk now." Xia Qi lowered his face and said, "Princess Shenyou is so insincere!"
Chu Ling sneered, "Sincerity? Did Deputy Commander Xia make a mistake? If you want to surrender, you still need to consider whether you should accept it. Where did you get the face of yourselves and be sincere with me?"
"You!" Xia Qi glared at Chu Ling angrily, and Zhu Yaohong, who was sitting aside, smiled and said, "Princess, I still have many Southern Army soldiers in my hands, so I'd better be polite." Chu Ling raised her eyebrows and said, "You're a little polite?" Zhu Yaohong thought for a while and said, "Person Xia probably hopes the princess can be polite." Chu Ling said, "But, I'm already very polite."
Yu Nishang smiled and said, "The princess is really very polite than when she was in Pingjing."
"Oh?" Zhu Yaohong seemed a little curious. Yu Nishang said, "Sister Zhu, you don't know. Last year, the princess killed tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under Pingjing City. At that time, many officials in the court were so scared that they were taken back. There was also the Prime Minister of Northern Jin Ahulu who was chopped up his head and sent back to Shangjing by the princess. I heard that Tuoba Liang vomited blood."
Zhu Yaohong smiled and said, "The one behind is real."
The two of them seemed to be joking indifferently, but Xia Qi's face turned pale. Although they were far away in Liangzhou, they had heard of some of these things. However, when they were far away, there was still a sense of unreality in touching flowers in the fog. More people still tend to think that these are all the credits of Jun Wuhuan. At most, the Princess Shenyou was just a puppet of Cangyun City Lord. But now listening to Zhu Yaohong and Yu Nishang talking as jokes, Xia Qi suddenly felt that maybe... these were all true. This Princess Shenyou was not a puppet of Jun Wuhuan, but a person that was really difficult to provoke.
Chu Ling sat condescendingly in the main seat and asked lightly: "Tell me, who sent you here? What conditions do you want to talk to me about?"
Xia Qi's eyes jumped and he widened his eyes and stared at Chu Ling.
Chu Ling smiled and said, "The Liangzhou Southern Army does have a deputy commander named Xia Qi, but... you don't really think that I don't even know what the commander of the enemy is like, right? Just find someone to perfunctorily treat me, won't your conscience hurt?"
"When did you see it?" Xia Qi looked a little ugly and couldn't help asking.
"I knew it from the beginning." Chu Ling said, "I heard that Xia Qi is a cautious person. Although you are very alert,... I am not cautious enough. In addition, how could a cautious person appear in Liangcheng casually and want to negotiate with me at such a time?" Xia Qi gritted his teeth and said, "That can't prove anything!" Chu Ling nodded and said, "Indeed, it is possible that Xia Qi looked down on the enemy when he saw that I was a woman. But... why didn't I catch someone who came to the door? As for whether you are true or not, I'll find out a few times soon."
"..." This divine blessing is a madman! Xia Qi couldn't help but say in his heart.
"So, are you going to tell me yourself, or do I have someone kill you a few more before I tell you?" Chu Ling asked.
Xia Qi was silent for a moment before saying, "I am the captain under Vice Commander Xia, but... we really want to talk to the princess sincerity."
Chu Ling nodded and said, "I want to surrender?"
"Xia Qi" does not speak, but it means default.
Chu Ling thought for a while and said, "It's okay to be light."
"Princess?" Everyone next to him couldn't help but say in unison when they heard this. Chu Ling gestured to them, "Don't be impatient, I know what's going on."
Duan Yun and Zhu Yaohong looked at each other, and finally nodded without saying anything more.
In a secluded house not far from Liangcheng, several men of different appearances were gathering together to discuss what was going on. However, their opinions were obviously not unified. A more impatient person couldn't help but slapped the table and said angrily: "What's there to say to a woman? Pingjing's idiots were so scared by a woman that they didn't even dare to say a word. Are we also scared by her like this? Without Jun Wuhuan by his side, what's the God Blessing Princess!"
The middle-aged man sitting on the other side shook his head in disagreement and said, "That's not the case. Don't forget that this Princess Shenyou is a personal disciple of Tuoba Xingye, and... in Cangyun City last year..."
The man sneered and said disapprovingly: "In the end, Jun Wuhuan rushed back and borrowed it? If Jun Wuhuan hadn't returned in time, it would be hard to say whether there would be a princess Shenyou now."
Another man said thoughtfully: "No matter what the Shenyou Princess, the more than 200,000 soldiers outside Liangcheng are not fake. I heard that Xiao Shi is also a rare master. In addition, now that he has reached this point, he still has other plans to follow the people of the Clan. We always have to think about it." Now the world is obviously not as peaceful as in previous years, so they naturally have to be prepared.
The middle-aged man sitting in the upper head touched the short beard on his chin and said, "In my opinion, this gentry member... I'm afraid his life will not be easy in the future. Not to mention anything else, even how many emperors have been changed in just a few years?"
"But, Baili Qinghong is the biological father of the Northern Jin Emperor, so we can't compare to him..."
The man sneered and said, "The Northern Jin Emperor is still a baby now. Even if he can grow up alive and wait for him to understand human words for several years, right? It will take more than ten years to take power. Do you think the people of the Clan and Tuoba Luo can endure it for so long? In recent years, when will those Clans regard us as humans?"
"So... let's surrender to the princess?" someone hesitated.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "How can it be called surrender? We are helping Princess Shenyou to expel the barbarians. We have so many brothers, at least it is a force that I don't know. Princess Shenyou always has to give us some face, right?" The implication is that if Princess Shenyou wants them to surrender, they cannot treat them badly.
Another middle-aged man frowned and said, "What we saw in the city today, the princess Shenyou doesn't look like a good-tempered person." He beat and killed the people they sent, and the princess had a very bad temper.
The middle-aged man snorted and said, "It's better to be stupid. If you are too smart, what's going on with us? Look, try to get in touch with this princess again, and... prepare some gifts to send."
"Is Vice Commander Xia here?" A gentle female voice suddenly came from outside the door.
Everyone in the room was stunned and soon jumped up and stared out of the door vigilantly. The place was very secret and there were people guarding it around. How did this person appear outside the door? And could they accurately report their identity?
After a moment of quiet outside, the female voice spoke again and said lightly: "Zhu Yaohong under the command of the princess, she is ordered to come and deliver the letter."
Several men looked at each other and finally walked over and slowly opened the door. Gradually, a slender and slender woman in black stood on the open space outside the door. She was not young anymore, but she still had a charm that made people unable to move her eyes. They had seen this woman. When Princess Shenyou entered the city yesterday, she rode a horse to follow Princess Shenyou. Not far behind Zhu Yaohong, there were a group of young men and women. They were holding swords or holding swords in their hands, and they were all placed on the necks of the guards they had originally arranged. No wonder they all came outside the door but did not hear any warning.
The middle-aged man in the lead took a step forward, stared at Zhu Yaohong and said, "I don't know if the girl is..."
Zhu Yaohong smiled and didn't mind reporting his life again. "Under the command of the Shenyou Princess, the commander of the Lingxi Camp of the Shenyou Army, Zhu Yaohong, from the fourth-rank General Mingwei."
Several men couldn't help but be stunned. They had never heard of Lingxi Camp, but they still knew about General Mingwei and the others. The Shenyou Princess actually gave the official rank to a woman? They originally thought that this woman was just a guard beside the Shenyou Princess. Zhu Yaohong ignored their shock and took out a letter from her sleeve and said, "The princess ordered me to send a letter to Deputy Commander Xia in person, please check it out."
Without thinking too much, Xia Qi signaled the people around him to come forward and take the letter.
After opening the letter and scanning it, Xia Qi's face was a little gloomy and said, "What does Princess Shenyou mean?"
Zhu Yaohong smiled and said, "Didn't the princess' letter be written clearly?"
Of course, Xia Qi was angry after writing it clearly. He stared at Zhu Yaohong and said coldly: "Princess Shenyou has a little too big, and she is not afraid of choking!" As soon as he opened his mouth, he asked them to surrender unconditionally. What else could he do if he really agreed? Maybe he would kill Princess Shenyou.
Zhu Yaohong looked at Xia Qi with his head in a sideways, and said softly: "It's the princess's business that the princess can swallow it, so I won't bother Vice Commander Xia to worry about it. The princess said that Vice Commander Xia has three days to consider. After three days... the Shenyou Army doesn't mind practicing before the reinforcements of the Clans arrive."
"Arrogant!"
Mingxuan came over with a sword behind Zhu Yaohong. He sneered at this and couldn't help but say, "The defeated general, the lackey of the tribe, what qualifications do you have to say that our princess is arrogant?"
"Princess Shenyou doesn't want to have a good talk?" Xia Qi said sinisterly.
Zhu Yaohong smiled and said, "Deputy Commander Xia, don't scare the girls under my command. They are timid and accidentally..., your subordinate's neck will be broken."
"You!" Xia Qi glanced around and sneered: "You don't think you just want to encircle and annihilate us just by just yours."
Zhu Yaohong covered his lips and smiled, "Deputy Commander Xia is thinking too much, I'm really here to deliver the letter. As for you..." He shook his head and sighed, "Our princess is Huang Jian. Since he doesn't dare to come, he has to let you live a life first. Say goodbye."
After saying that, Zhu Yaohong turned around and took the people away. Mingxuan followed her and looked at Xia Qi and others with warnings. Then the group slowly retreated.
"General, why don't you stop them?" Xia Qi couldn't help but ask in a low voice. Of course, there wouldn't be only a few nearby people. As long as they send out signals and delay for a while, how could those women get out so easily?
Xia Qi said coldly: "Why are they unprepared if they dare to come? What's more, the woman named Zhu and the girl beside her are of great strength. We may not be able to stop them if we are not prepared."
"What should I do now?"
"Go back first!"
"yes."
In the Liangcheng government office, Chu Ling was staring at the map of Liangzhou. A guard outside the door came in and reported, "Princess, someone outside gave a gift to ask for a princess." Chu Ling put down his pen and looked at the strange expression on the guard's face and became a little interested, "Oh? Who gave the gift?"
The guard said, "It's said that his surname is Huang."
Chu Ling nodded and said, "Go and have a look."
When Chu Ling came to the reception hall of the front yard, a man in his forties dressed in a Confucian scholar quickly stood up and said, "I have seen Princess Shenyou."
Chu Ling raised his eyebrows slightly, "Who is coming?"
The man hurriedly said, "Go back to the princess, the villain is the aide next to the former Liangzhou prefect Huang. He usually runs errands for Lord Huang to do some small errands." Chu Ling walked to the main seat and sat down with a smile, "Oh? He is very brave. Don't you know that this errand is fatal?" The man smiled and said, "How could it be? Princess Ying Ruizhi is the most reasonable. The villain just came to give a gift. How could he have life worries?"
Chu Ling blinked, a little confused, "Who told you that I was reasonable? Haven't Huang Jian heard the rumors spread from Pingjing? Why don't you ask him to send someone to Pingjing to ask if anyone says that this palace is reasonable?"
The man laughed dryly. The princess was really uneasy to play cards, and this made it difficult for him to answer.
He quickly changed the question, "The princess was joking. The princess was just here. Lord Huang didn't dare to come and visit him. The youngest person gave him some small things to play with. He hoped that the princess would not give up the reward."
"You might as well stop following Huang Jian and follow me." Chu Ling said with a smile.
The man laughed, "Where is the villain so lucky?"
"Okay, let me give you something to send in secret?" Chu Ling nodded and said.
The man was overjoyed and quickly clapped his hands to give the gift. Huang Jian was not stingy. The jewelry that women liked was exquisite and extraordinary. Even Chu Ling could see the extraordinaryness of these things even when he saw various treasures in Pingjing. There were also several novel and exquisite gadgets, which must have been passed from the west, and it was rare in the Central Plains.
The man saw Chu Ling's somewhat uninterested appearance, and knew that she was not interested in these things. Yes, Emperor Yongjia was just such a princess, and even if he could give her the position of the princess in the country, what else could he not get?
At that moment, the man waved his hand and asked someone to retreat. Another group of people walked in, "Princess, please take a look at these?"
Chu Ling raised his eyes and saw four men entering from outside.
This is a man wearing a blue dress, and there is nothing out of the ordinary. If you have to say it, they are all very beautiful and completely different. Some are handsome, some are handsome, some are gentle, some are gentle, and even have a pitifully obedient look. His big watery eyes make Chu Ling suspect that this person might have come out of a certain style hall.
"This is..." Chu Ling raised his eyebrows and said hesitantly.
The man smiled and said, "Go back to the princess, we are afraid that the princess will be inconvenient when she goes out. These four are sent to serve the princess. Although the princess is relieved, these four are obedient and will not cause trouble for the princess."
"puff!"
