Chapter 1007: Is he smiling at me?
Tang Bao and a few others drank a few cups of tea when suddenly there was a commotion on the street downstairs.
Bai Shuqing immediately opened the window and looked out curiously.
Tang Bao happened to be sitting by the window, and when she turned her head, she happened to see the scene downstairs.
I saw a young man in brocade clothes and a crane cloak, riding a tall black horse, passing by downstairs.
Behind the man were two teams of big men also riding on horses.
Every big man is fat and strong, like an iron tower.
Pedestrians on both sides of the street looked at the group of people, stopped and talked about it.
"Are these all foreigners?"
"It should be. Look at what that person is wrapped in. Is that tiger skin?"
"Wow! That person must be wrapped in bear skin..."
"And that one! That man is wrapped in a white tiger skin!"
"I think these people are the Hu people! I heard that the Hu people dress like this."
"I've also heard that the Hu people wrap themselves in the hides of the animals they hunt to show off their honor. Whoever has the best hide proves to be the bravest and most powerful..."
"I guess these people are also Hu people. Look at their beards all over their bodies and faces. It is said that because the weather is cold in the Hu people's country, their beards grow hard and dense to keep them warm..."
Yes, the reason why these people attracted attention was not only because their clothing was different from that of the people of Dayan.
The most important thing is the thick beard.
And the dense and long sweat hair on the exposed arms and chest.
It can be said that except for the one in the front who seems to be the leader, all of these people are showing that I am not the people of Dayan.
"Aren't these people cold?" Bai Shuqing asked curiously.
"I'm afraid I've gotten used to it." Tang Bao said, "If you grew up in the cold north, you wouldn't feel the cold here."
As Tang Bao finished speaking, a burst of hurried horse hooves sounded in the distance.
Xuanyuan Jin was riding on the big black horse Honghong, followed by Zhang Cheng, Zhao Wu, and two teams of majestic sword-wielding guards, coming towards them.
In just a few breaths, Xuanyuan Jin arrived in front of the man in brocade clothes and crane cloak.
Xuanyuan Jin gently pulled the reins, and Honghong stopped precisely, only a foot away from the man's horse.
Moreover, after stopping, there was a hint of disgust in the horse's eyes, and it looked down at the horse of the man opposite.
The man's steed also has a tuft of red hair on its forehead.
It was obvious that Honghong met someone of the same tribe.
However, this fellow tribesman was disliked by Honghong.
The man in the brocade crane cloak glanced at Honghong, and a hint of admiration and love flashed in his eyes.
Now, the horse under his crotch has become restless.
If he hadn't been holding it tightly, it would have run away when Honghong rushed over.
But, look at Honghong again, Xuanyuan Jin just pulled the reins and stopped immediately as if he was in tune with his master.
After stopping, he looked aloof.
It really brings honor to the owner!
"Prince Xiao." Xuanyuan Jin looked at the man opposite him, his voice distant and sharp, "I wonder what brings you, Prince Xiao, to Dayan so suddenly?"
The man, Xiao Qing, the younger brother of the Northern Qi Emperor, raised his eyebrows after hearing Xuanyuan Jin's words and said, "Of course, I come here in the name of my royal brother to congratulate the Great Yan Emperor on his birthday."
"I see. I'd like to thank Prince Xiao and your brother." Xuanyuan Jin said coldly, "It's just that Prince Xiao came suddenly and kept his whereabouts secret all the way. Now he suddenly appeared in the capital. It doesn't seem like he came to celebrate the birthday. It seems that he has ulterior motives and other plans!"
"Hahaha...this little brother is joking." Prince Xiao laughed.
Then, his tone changed and he added, "However, if you say that he has other intentions, that's not wrong."
Xuanyuan Jin's expression immediately darkened, and a cold arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"I don't know what Prince Xiao is planning," Xuanyuan Jin said, "Why don't you tell me?"
"Hahaha, what I'm after is naturally a good thing." Prince Xiao ignored the murderous aura on Xuanyuan Jin's body and said, "How about an alliance between Great Yan and Northern Qi? Brotherly friendship, peace on the border, and mutual exchange of resources?"
Xuanyuan Jin listened to Prince Xiao's words without changing his expression.
Northern Qi had this intention because it must have known that Dayan was going to form an alliance with Western Qin and wanted to sabotage it.
Fortunately, Xuanyuan Jin was not happy with the alliance conditions proposed by Western Qin.
Therefore, he did not object to the Northern Qi coming to cause trouble.
"So, these people are from Northern Qi!" Bai Shuqing leaned against the window and exclaimed in a low voice, "They are here to form an alliance with us, Great Yan!"
After Bai Shuqing finished speaking, he looked at Xuanyuan Jin again.
"Su Tang, aren't you going downstairs to say hello to your brother?" Bai Shuqing asked.
"My brother is doing something important, so I won't disturb him." Tang Bao said.
As soon as Tang Bao finished speaking, Prince Xiao suddenly looked up and looked towards Tang Bao.
His eyes were scorching, carrying a hint of pressure.
Then, he retracted his aura, raised the corner of his mouth and smiled at Tang Bao.
Bai Shuqing closed the window with a "bang".
Then, he covered his chest and said in shock: "The look in this prince's eyes just now was so scary, but——"
Bai Shuqing's tone changed and his eyes lit up.
"He just smiled at me again, didn't he?"
Bai Shuqing looked at Tang Bao and then at Xia Siya with anticipation.
Xia Siya said suspiciously, "You seem to be looking forward to him smiling at you. Could it be that you have fallen in love with him?"
Bai Shuqing's face immediately turned red.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't!" Bai Shuqing shouted in shame and anger.
"That's good. Don't blame me for not reminding you, he's from Northern Qi." Xia Siya said, "Unless you want to marry someone in a place where people eat raw meat and drink blood, otherwise, don't even think about it."
After Xia Siya finished speaking, she added with certainty.
"He was smiling at Sister Fuya just now!"
Bai Shuqing: “…”
Humph! As expected, as long as she is with Su Tang, no one notices her!
Forget it, I can’t compare to Su Tang anyway.
Bai Shuqing thought dejectedly.
Tang Bao ignored Bai Shuqing and Xia Siya's words, frowned slightly, and said thoughtfully: "This person... I should have seen him before."
"Have you seen them?" Bai Shuqing's curiosity piqued again, and she asked, "They are from Northern Qi. They just entered the city today. How could you have seen them? You've never been to Northern Qi."
Tang Bao thought for a moment and said, "During the Spring Examination, I saw this Prince Xiao at the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall."
However, she was busy saving people at the time, and later she was busy seeing patients in line, so her eyes just glanced at the man's face.
The reason why she paid attention to this person was because of his eyes.
"Although he has changed his appearance, a person's bone structure cannot be changed. It must be that person's fault." Tang Bao said, and the expression on her little face became serious.
