168 Not coming to meet his future bride? ?
"General Xu, I am truly sorry. During the sparring just now, my two friends did not know how to control their strength. I hope you can forgive me."
Xiao Tingyun's tone was sincere, but his expression was a little smiling, and it was obviously just a polite remark.
But what made Xu Huaili's heart ache was that she said these two people were her friends?
Qing Er and Qing San had strange expressions on their faces, especially Qing Er, who thought that if the master knew what Miss Xiao San said, he would probably skin them both.
However, in this situation, Qing Er had the courage to pull the tiger skin to embolden himself, and smiled on his face, "I just can't stand men like you forcing weak women. I will help when I see injustice, not to mention that Miss Xiao San is such a good friend!"
Qing San rolled his eyes at him and told him a bunch of lies.
But he didn't expose him, but just added, "If you encounter injustice on the road, you must draw your sword quickly!"
Xu Huaili's chest seemed to hurt even more, and he stared at the two men coldly.
"Who are you?"
Qing Er chuckled, "General Xu, it's really your fault that you haven't guessed who we are after all this time. In this world, in this land, in this bright and clear sky..."
"Shut up!" Qing San picked up his sword and hit him hard in the abdomen.
But the effect is obvious.
Qing Er's eyes widened in pain, "You, you..."
Qing San raised his hand to hit him again, and Qing Er dodged in fear.
Qing San coldly said, "Noisy."
Under the heavens, across the land...
Xu Huaili was not a fool, he understood what Qing Er said.
I suddenly felt like a joke.
"You shouldn't and won't make this choice." Xu Huaili smiled bitterly, "You are not that kind of person."
Xu Huaili gave her a very strange feeling.
From the very beginning of their meeting, he said something inexplicable, and then went on to comment on her affairs.
It seems like I have known her for a long time.
But she didn't have many memories of him in her mind, so it could only be said that the previous "she" knew him.
Xiao Tingyun frowned slightly, "It sounds like General Xu knows me very well."
"Have we met before?"
Hearing this, Xu Huaili's eyebrows moved, his throat rolled, and he wanted to say a thousand words, but he couldn't say anything.
Have you seen it before?
Of course they had!
But why did you forget him?
Xu Huaili looked up at the sky. The sun was warm, but he felt cold all over.
"A month in Huaizhou seems like a lifetime ago to me..." Xu Huaili looked lonely, trying to see a little hope in Xiao Tingyun's eyes.
pity……
Xiao Tingyun fluttered his eyelashes, but there was no change at all.
The light in Xu Huaili's eyes gradually disappeared. "Sorry for disturbing you today. Goodbye."
Then he walked out the door.
Xiao Tingyun watched him leave, and suddenly a picture flashed in her mind, but she didn't see it clearly, only a childish voice faintly heard, "Don't forget me, I will come to find you!"
Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Xiao Tingyun said to Qing Er, "Can you help me check something?"
"Qing Er will not refuse even if he dies. Please speak, Miss Xiao San."
"Look into what happened to Xu Huaili in Huaizhou before."
Qing Er shuddered, as if he saw his own death.
"Can you change one thing?"
Xiao Tingyun laughed, "Didn't you say you would never give up even if you were to die?"
Qing Er was embarrassed and rubbed his hands, "I can still distinguish between real death and fake death."
If he really investigates the master's love rival for Miss Xiao San, the master will skin him alive!
Xiao Tingyun said unhappily, "Don't worry, he won't be angry. Even if he is really angry, I can talk to him for you, okay?"
With Xiao Tingyun's assurance, Qing Er was once again ready to go through fire and water with a sense of righteousness.
Seeing this, Qing San kicked him and almost made Qing Er fall to the ground headfirst.
…
But of course this matter could not be hidden from Pei Yuning. Qing Er and the others were loyal to Pei Yuning, and their orders were to report everything.
The five counties of Yinzhou were about to be taken back. Pei Yuning was resting in the military tent when he received the secret report.
After several days of closely arranging battle plans, Pei Yuning's eyes were darker, but the coldness on his face became more and more obvious, which was completely different from the gentleness and generosity he had shown in the court in the past.
Even the generals in the tent felt that the change was too drastic and were a little afraid.
Perhaps this is a side of His Majesty that has never been revealed to the public.
"Your Majesty, the Xinyi people secretly sent a letter, and the messenger said that peace talks are possible."
Pei Yuning glanced at the letter calmly and asked, "Talk about peace?"
Xiao Huanjun bravely looked at His Majesty and saw that His Majesty had not yet accepted the letter. "Your Majesty?"
Pei Yuning took it, opened it and had a look. His whole body turned cold and he threw it to Xiao Huanjun.
After reading it, Xiao Huanjun looked strange, "They want to negotiate peace and are willing to marry a legitimate princess into your majesty's harem?"
The people in the tent looked at each other in bewilderment. Marry a princess?
If we can really destroy the alliance between the Xinyi people and the mongooses through marriage, it would be a good thing.
After all, the longer the war lasts, the greater the consumption, and they are about to enter winter, with scarce food and grass, and the climate in the north is not conducive to soldiers fighting.
"Your Majesty, I think this matter could be discussed..." someone spoke up immediately.
"Yes, I think so too."
Xiao Huanjun was anxious, "Your Majesty, the Xinyi people are harboring evil intentions. Talking about peace at this time is actually a conspiracy!"
"It is indeed a conspiracy, but it is rude not to reciprocate..."
Pei Yuning said in a cold voice, "This is just a show of pretending to surrender, but if I don't accept it, wouldn't I be sorry for them?"
Five days later.
Da Qi wanted to discuss peace talks with Xinyi.
The place we went to was the bank of a river where Xinyi and Daqi met.
The person sent by Da Qi was a censor who was eloquent and shrewd. He planned to take a big piece of fat out of the mouths of the Xinyi people.
The censor arrived at the place with a smile on his face, only to see the Xinyi man opposite him with a gloomy face.
The censor’s surname was Zhang. He seemed to be a very kind person, but when he saw the man opposite him had a gloomy face, his smile naturally faded a little.
In particular, Mr. Zhang saw a girl in a red dress sitting in the corner.
"What is this...?" asked Lord Zhang, frowning.
How can we leave a woman here during such an important peace negotiation?
Could it be that he wanted to humiliate Da Qi? !
Unexpectedly, the Xinyi man on the other side turned the tables and said, "You, the Great Qi, are too insincere!"
Zhang's eloquence was rarely interrupted by him, and Zhang was so angry that he lost his temper. "You dare to say that we are not sincere? What about you? What's the matter with bringing a woman here?"
The man sneered, "During our peace talks, we said that we would marry our noble Princess Xinyi to your master."
"But what about you? You didn't even come to meet his future bride!"
Mr. Zhang was confused, "What bride?"
The Xinyi people were angry and pointed at the girl who was sitting with her face covered and said, "This is the bride!"
