Chapter 179 Firecrackers that can be lit at the first light
The cold wind swept across, the snow and wind rolled, and the winter chill in Shengjing became more and more oppressive.
The sound of horse hooves and footsteps came one after another, and the white snow was trampled into mud and mottled, appearing dirty and messy.
The Mobei envoy sat on a white horse. A gust of cold wind blew. He held his cloak with one hand and said with his head tilted: "Today's wind is particularly noisy."
The others echoed one after another.
The cold wind blew into his clothes. The envoy from Mobei sighed softly, his eyes full of worry: "Although the prince was imprisoned, these seven cities are really..."
The man in front of him turned his horse's head, his eyebrows raised, his handsome eyebrows full of unruly, looking at him with disdain and sneer: "The envoy's physique is getting worse day by day. I don't know what my father Khan is thinking. One Bol, in exchange for seven cities, in my opinion, there is no need for us to come at all."
"The Emperor of Heaven wants Bol's life, so let him take it."
The one who spoke was Prince Tore, the second son of King Heshuo. Although they were brothers from the same mother, they had been at odds with Bol since childhood, and they had never concealed their intention to kill each other. No
one was surprised to hear such words.
There were also a few people who secretly agreed in their hearts.
He is just a prince, and there is more than one prince under King Heshuo. If he were to exchange seven cities for him, it would not be a good deal...
The Mobei envoy coughed lightly, he also knew this.
But the focus of this trip is not on the prince...
He opened his mouth, and a breath of cold wind poured down his throat, and he coughed non-stop, coughing and saying: "Cough... Prince Torre, why do you say that? Prince Bol is your elder brother after all, not to mention that the focus of this trip is on changing the medicine."
Torre snorted coldly: "If he hadn't insisted on his own way and caused some kind of epidemic, how could it be like this?"
He raised his voice and didn't want to say anything more. He waved his whip and walked into the city faster. The others looked at each other and had no choice but to speed up and follow behind...
In front of the gate of Shengjing, in addition to the soldiers guarding the city, Jiang Wenjing had been waiting here for a long time.
As soon as he saw him, Torre's face suddenly changed, and he said in a sharp voice: "Why are you here?"
Damn it, shouldn't Jiang Wenjing stay at the border? !
How can we see this disaster star here? !
Jiang Wenjing raised the corners of his mouth, indescribably arrogant and unrestrained, his fiery red cloak fluttered in the cold wind, just like the way Torre saw him on the city wall, Torre's eyes narrowed immediately.
"I am here to welcome the Mobei delegation on the orders of the emperor. Prince Torre, it's been a long time since we last met. Are you all right?"
Jiang Wenjing chuckled, but his words were full of provocation.
Torre: "..."
He fought with Jiang Wenjing many times, and only narrowly defeated him once.
Because of this, most people questioned his ability, while his brother Bol, because of his father Khan's partiality, was spared from the battlefield, so that the scheming and trickery defeated the Southern Dragon several times and won the hearts of the people.
Torre frowned slightly, anger rising in his heart. He turned away without answering.
The people of Mobei naturally did not have a good face for the enemy on the battlefield, but after all, they came to rescue people and ask for medicine. The Mobei envoy hurried forward and said respectfully, "General Jiang, Prince Bol..."
"The prince is naturally fine now."
Jiang Wenjing interrupted him and looked at him with a smile.
The Mobei envoy immediately understood the deep meaning of his words.
He is still fine now, but I can't guarantee it in the future.
His smile froze on his face, and Torre was even more upset and irritable.
His brother was captured, the epidemic was raging, and he led the delegation to rescue people and change medicine in a humiliated manner, and was blocked at the city gate by his mortal enemy and humiliated...
His chest heaved violently, and his eyes turned red.
The envoy thought to himself that it was not good. There was another reason why the Khan did not value Tolui, that is, he had bipolar disorder and was very prone to attacks.
Isn't the current situation a precursor to a bipolar attack? He quickly changed the subject: "Thank you General Jiang for taking us to see the emperor." Jiang Wenjing nodded lightly, got on his horse, and glanced at Tolui again. He was no longer as excited as before. When he saw his gaze, he just snorted coldly. Jiang Wenjing retracted his gaze, his eyes were deep. They rode into the city in silence. ... In the study, the emperor was reviewing memorials, and Jiang Zhiyu stood aside. Receiving the delegation should have been the job of the Honglu Temple, but after the incident with Tolu, the emperor was also worried that they were carrying other things and causing another wave of epidemics. Anyway, there are Zhiyu around him, so he doesn't have to worry. If they really have any evil intentions, he can take the opportunity to make trouble. "Calculating the time, it's time for them to enter the palace." As soon as the emperor finished speaking, Fuping came in from outside and reported: "Your Majesty, the Mobei delegation wants to see you." The emperor nodded slightly, and Jiang Wenjing, Tore and the Mobei envoys bent over and walked in, kneeling and bowing. "Stand up, and take a seat." The emperor put down the memorial in his hand, his face calm. Several people took their seats leisurely. [Oh, isn't this the firecracker that ignites at the touch of a button? ] Jiang Wenjing and the emperor paused at the same time. After reacting, Jiang Wenjing chuckled, but the emperor was stunned. Firecracker? Who is it? His eyes wandered between the Mobei envoys and Tore. Tore: "..." What's wrong with this Emperor Tianqi? What are you looking at if you don't say anything?! Although he was irritable, he didn't lose his mind. He just rolled his eyes secretly and couldn't help frowning. The emperor: "..." Suddenly he realized. He looked away. Although the envoy from Mobei was confused, he was worried about Prince Thor. Without waiting for the emperor to speak, he couldn't help but speak directly: "Your Majesty, where is Prince Thor now?"
The emperor raised his lips slightly, but did not answer. Instead, he said, "You have been through a long journey, and I believe you have seen all kinds of things. What do you think?"
His unexpected message startled the Mobei envoy and Tore. They looked at each other, wondering what he was going to do.
If it was a greeting, the cold voice obviously did not sound like a greeting.
After waiting for a while, seeing that the emperor's narrow and deep eyes were still staring at them, the Mobei envoy made up his mind and said with a stiff upper lip: "Although you have been on the road for days and have no time to look around, this envoy believes that the people must be simple and honest, and the people live and work in peace and contentment."
"Live and work in peace and contentment?"
The emperor repeated these four words in a low voice and chuckled. Seeing that he seemed to be very happy, the Mobei envoy's heart in his throat immediately fell back, and he laughed dryly a few times.
The superiors, of course, cannot bear to hear that people under their rule are poorly clothed and hungry.
Just say something nice.
The emperor looked at the envoy, with a smile on his face, but no smile in his eyes.
The envoy stared at him blankly, and his dry laughter stopped.
Torre felt something was wrong and frowned slightly. Sure enough, the emperor's smile disappeared and his face became gloomy.
