Chapter 106: Mission "Uncle Wang was just a monk before, not a...
——————
When the screams came, most people panicked. However, the grandmother of the Liao family was knowledgeable and calm. She paused and subconsciously looked at the warmth covering the back of her hand.
She is old, and no matter how well she takes care of herself to look younger, the back of her hands are still withered and wrinkled. Most young people don't want to be with old people.
Except for the younger generation in the family, and also except for this fairy-like girl in front of me...
She seems to respect the elderly very much and has a kind of self-cultivation from the heart.
In fact, people say that the skin is something outside of the body, but in fact, it is not. The skin is the only common body of human beings in the world. It is through it that we can experience the world, and it is through it that the world can realize the changes of human beings.
Birth, old age, sickness and death, the beautiful and the ugly.
Undoubtedly, the person in front of her is beautiful. The old grandmother of the Liao family admits that the secular beautiful words repeatedly mentioned by her son and granddaughter are not secular when applied to the person in front of her.
Their eyes and aesthetics are honest and sophisticated.
But the hand of the person in front of him, which looked like an art, was not touching him intentionally.
A gentle pat is to comfort her.
Afraid she would be scared?
That is... as expected.
The old grandmother's gaze subconsciously fell from her palm to the profile of Yan Siqing beside her.
The latter looked back calmly: "In the past, wherever I went, there would be murders."
"Not today."
"So, don't be afraid."
She was simply worried that the old man wouldn't be able to hold on. After all, being frightened wouldn't be good for the elderly. Today's incident was already quite serious. It might be good for the Liao family in the beginning, but not necessarily in the end.
If the grandmother had worried about this...
Huai Xuan had just been frightened, ready to scream, just like when she was frightened by the corpse Jian Wuliang had made on the White Horse Temple plank road. But now she had calmed down, her beautiful eyes turned softly in confusion. She touched her lips with her fan and asked innocently but aggrievedly, "Is this palace scared too?"
Then he pulled Yan Siqing's other hand to follow and see what was going on.
Grandma of the Liao family: "..."
It's really weird. Even though he's over 70 years old, he's still being envied by the princess.
————
If Yan Siqing hadn't reminded them, many people would have thought that a murder had occurred.
It’s a sin, it’s a sin. The main reason is that there have been many murders in Chang’an recently, and these nobles have become a little habitually worried.
Fortunately...it was not a murder, but a murder that was prevented.
Beixiangyuan, where most of the guests are men.
The men's drinking and having fun had nothing to do with the women. The men would play rock-paper-scissors and it was common for them to compete with each other. They were covered in sweat, which made the women lose interest and there was also suspicion of a sexual relationship between the men and women.
But it is also true that most of the people there are officials.
Officials are divided into those from the country and those from other countries.
So, the envoy who left the table to relieve himself was assassinated on the road. The incident happened suddenly, but the scream came from the servant. He didn't see the corpse, but witnessed a fight!
The envoy from the Beiyue Kingdom fell to the ground in a state of disarray and panic, while Ruo Zhao, who had suddenly appeared to stop the assassin when he attacked, was fighting fiercely with the assassin.
The noise soon spread to the front yard and officials rushed over.
The military officers in particular were very skilled and arrived quickly.
But the masked assassin was really powerful, and after a fierce fight, he was finally captured by Ruo Zhao.
Lechen stood under the eaves, looked at Ruozhao, then looked at Jiang Hui who was standing calmly in the aisle, narrowed his eyes, and remained silent.
The officials inquired about the situation.
Jiang Hui: "Someone is trying to assassinate the North Vietnamese envoy to hinder the negotiations or to frame our country."
Um?
Many officials began to think about it, looking at the assassin and the people from Beiyue with complicated expressions.
But there is little noise.
After all, it involves the affairs of the court...
The envoys from the Beiyue Kingdom made a commotion and asked who the assassin was.
Finally, the mask was removed.
He looks exactly like a person from the Arab world.
Well, no need to ask, the question is "Beiyue Kingdom is too bullying, humiliating my Dashi Kingdom's territory, I am killing the enemy for my Dashi Kingdom!"
So the two countries quarreled, the host was in a difficult position...and negotiations were blocked.
These old officials didn't even think about going this way.
really!
As soon as the assassin shouted, the members of the Northern Yue delegation immediately followed up and questioned why the Daqin delegation had committed murder and wanted the Celestial Empire to make the decision...
In fact, if a person was really assassinated, that would be a complete disaster, and there would be no chance of returning to another place.
It's a pity that it was stopped, but it doesn't matter. The arrangements made by the Beiyue Kingdom are also meticulous, and the assassin is a true warrior who is willing to risk his own death to seek political benefits for the country.
The members of the Arab delegation, who were also sitting under the same roof and among the officials, collectively cursed in a low voice. Hai Fugui remained calm, "Every nation has traitors who betray their country. How can appearance and accent be used as evidence? Words alone are not enough. After all, planting an assassin in the residence of an aristocratic family is no simple task. We didn't do it, so we naturally deny it. Show us the evidence first. We are willing to cooperate with any investigation."
"You are so aloof and flawless. President Hai has a huge network of contacts in Chang'an. Everyone knows that you want to accomplish this. You don't even need to do anything. Just let..."
The Kingdom of Beiyu wanted to say something, and even wanted to bring up the relationship between the Kingdom of Dashi and Yan Siqing, but unfortunately... the words were not spoken yet.
A knife was inserted diagonally in front of the man, three inches into the ground.
Jiang Hui smiled without saying a word. With a wave of his hand, the bribed servants of the Liao family were dragged out.
"Wu'an Lane Thirteen Residences, the loquat tree in front of the door is a secret code, and now there are two assassins living there."
"Everyone from the Beiyu Kingdom, who do you think they confessed to?"
"From the moment you entered the customs and bribed people until now, have you ever thought about others finding out first?"
"He thinks he's smart, but ends up embarrassing himself because he's not smart enough."
"Even after being defeated, they are still so arrogant. The original armistice agreement can be torn up."
"I hope that upon your return to your country you will have the nerve to explain to your people in the border areas, rather than leaving a legacy of infamy for eternity."
This was a completely obvious move - the Northern Yue Kingdom was defeated, but was unwilling to spend a lot of money on peace talks, so it wanted to stage a self-torture tactic in which the delegation was killed, and shift the responsibility of the peace talks to the Arab Empire and the Celestial Empire in order to seize the sovereignty of the negotiations.
result.....
I was directed to do something by the situation, and now I have a legitimate reason.
Negotiations were originally based on the strength of the two sides' military forces. The Celestial Empire had the upper hand. The reason for the peace talks was that war would ultimately harm the harmony of nature. The people on both sides of the border were under great pressure and needed to be tactful. If the negotiations could bring enough benefits, a suspension would be a good thing.
However, since it was the Beiyu Kingdom that first proposed the peace talks, and now they are so despicable, it is not their fault.
Either we start a war under a pretext, or...
The North Yue State delegation had no idea that their plan had been discovered long ago. They were being tailed from the very beginning, and the other party even facilitated today's assassination...Catch the thief and the dirty work. It is estimated that the traitor who helped behind the scenes has also been caught.
The envoys' faces turned pale, knowing that the situation was hopeless and that they had no choice but to negotiate again. The terms of this negotiation were even harsher than before...
The people in the Ministry of Rites were naturally overjoyed, and the officials of the country also breathed a sigh of relief and were secretly happy.
The trouble would not have been kept in the Liao family. As the host, they were unlucky enough to have to deal with such a shameless master and apprentice, and they also encountered the conspiracy of the delegation. If Jiang Hui had not been prepared and captured the other party, if the envoy had really died here, the Liao family would have been implicated.
Just thinking about it makes me break out in a cold sweat.
Liao Qing was still panicking and was about to cooperate in handling the matter, but his eldest brother pulled his sleeve. After being stunned for a moment, he was taken to a courtyard to discuss the matter.
————
Chen Cangyu watched all this happen and end, and found that the country of Daqin was also very peaceful - that Hai Fugui...
The man was not paying attention to the yard, his eyes drifted towards the corner.
There was no one around the corner.
No one came from the female family.
That person didn't come.
But when the officials returned to the front yard, they found that many guests were already preparing to leave.
Among them, there are green and dark green by the lotus pond, meaning in the pond, and wind in the courtyard.
Obviously many people.
She and Huai Xuan and others walked through the quiet garden, away from the hustle and bustle. She raised her arm to pick up the feather shuttlecock that fell on it, and her wide silk sleeves slid down her wrists.
Huai Xuan thought Yan Siqing was going over to see what had happened or to solve a problem.
Unexpectedly, it is not.
She knew the beginning and end of the changes over there.
Because it was predicted from the beginning.
That's why I comforted my grandmother.
The old grandmother seemed to be lost in thought: "Your Highness..."
Yan Siqing smiled, "Old Madam, I used to think that this time's help was more than before. After all, with the incident at the hot spring villa, it's hard to settle the score between us."
"Now I can figure it out."
"The matter of the diplomatic mission has indeed troubled your family."
"We could have stopped it earlier, but unfortunately, this is the only way to maximize our benefits."
"So... your granddaughter's future has better arrangements."
The old grandmother suddenly understood.
She said that Yan Siqing's initiative to help this time was a bit too high-profile and not in line with his personality. It turned out that it was because of the political issues of the diplomatic mission.
The thank-you gift given in advance and then paid later can be regarded as compensation for the risks that the Liao family needs to bear for this - although the Liao family does not know it.
Huai Xuan also understood, his eyes gleaming with excitement, "Then, if the assassin is indeed from somewhere else..."
It’s not the Arab Empire, but Liaochen, or some other force?
There are many people in this world who are not happy about the two countries reaching a reconciliation.
Even Prince Yan’s Palace might not be willing to do so.
Yan Siqing looked at Huai Xuan for a while, then turned away, her brows calm, she smiled slightly, and spoke softly with tenderness and gentleness.
But Huaixuan suddenly felt chilled to the bone.
Because she said.
"It can only be arranged by the North Yue Kingdom itself."
"As for the truth, before the interests of the country, only appearance and results are important."
“Politics is unethical.”
The old grandmother also heard it and was a little distracted.
Politics is unjust.
She seemed to have heard these four words somewhere.
Before the two of them could think about it, there was a crisp sound.
Everyone turned around and saw something flying down...
"ah!"
"It's a shuttlecock."
"Where did this kid come from?"
After soothing the old man's fingers, he took the shuttlecock to soothe the child.
Others were blaming the child for being ignorant of etiquette, playing around here and offending an important person.
But was stopped.
Looking at the child, she was smiling, a very gentle smile, and returned the shuttlecock.
Only those who have given birth to and raised children can understand that kind of tenderness and tolerance.
The person who just said "politics is unjust" is so gentle that he can drown people.
The child was a little scared, but he took the shuttlecock eagerly and became happy again.
But Yan Siqing raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Hui who was standing not far away.
Their eyes met.
Obviously the matter had been resolved and everyone was happy, but he saw her gentleness and distraction towards the child.
I also thought of something else.
There is an irreversible gap between them...
Jiang Hui thought of something - she never asked for contraceptive soup, which was harmful to the body, but the fact that she didn't ask for it meant that she must have made arrangements in private.
She is a doctor and has plenty of tricks.
She will not give birth to his children.
She wouldn't even tell him about it.
Silence is the decency she gives to each other.
The silence came suddenly.
She stood there motionless, her eyes far away, her smile calm, yet revealing an extreme distance.
And he stood there, not moving.
Until Lechen suddenly appeared, deliberately stopped the child, and said loudly, "The child is so cute. I think the princess loves children the most. I wonder when she and Chilin will have such a cute child."
Huai Xuan was stunned. This was actually a natural thing.
But...people with keen eyes could sense something was wrong.
If it weren't mentioned, everyone would have forgotten about the marriage between the two...it was already full of reluctance.
Even if they were already married, why wasn't Yan Siqing's daughter ever sent to Chang'an?
Calculating the time, if they were willing to send it, it would have arrived long ago.
If it hasn’t happened yet, it means one party is unwilling.
It's impossible that Jiang Hui is unwilling.
That can only be...
The atmosphere suddenly became strange.
Yan Siqing did not respond.
She could cooperate in anything, but in this matter alone, she was coldly frank.
It was Jiang Hui who spoke first.
"Uncle Wang was just a monk, not a eunuch. If you want a child, go and do it yourself."
"Don't pin your hopes on my wife and me."
The Jiang family devil is still as murderous and heartbreaking as ever.
Lechen: “….”
Jiang Hui, however, was ruthless and just walked away.
Step by step.
Yan Siqing watched him coming.
Come up here.
"Have you returned home yet?"
Yan Siqing heard his question, nodded, and saw the hand he extended.
The five fingers are distinct.
She was silent for a moment, the complexity in her heart and the pain of missing Zhao Zhao were all boiling in her twitching heart. Finally, she looked at him.
Being an envoy, Lechen, was never the biggest thing or a difficult task for her.
It was always something else that made her feel awkward.
"I'm free, but if you have any errands, go ahead and do them. I'll go back by myself."
She said gently.
Revealing alienation and restraint.
Jiang Hui took the initiative and hooked his fingers up, carefully and eagerly.
"There are many talented people in our dynasty. What will happen if I lose a rough warrior like you?"
"I drank for you, got drunk, and you still let me go home alone?"
He kept emphasizing going home.
Their home.
Yan Siqing was stunned and silent. He touched the scar on the man's finger, looked away, hesitated for a moment, and then moved his finger.
A thought crossed my mind: He made his own choice, it's not my fault. Besides, time can change everything. Who can stay put? It's better to loosen things up than to block them.
Gripped it back.
"good."
They stood hand in hand, like any other couple, yet unlike them.
No one is as graceful as they are. Even though there is distance between them, they are inseparable.
Everyone watching from afar suddenly felt that it was a good thing that the two got married.
“Otherwise, if you pick the wrong person, you’ll feel like you’ve been wasted.”
I don't know who muttered this.
Jian Wuliang quickly glanced at Chen Cangyu.
Shenzangyu: “….”
However, Hai Fugui's expression was also very complicated and he couldn't hide it.
Having to let go is one thing, but seeing the other person being loving and intimate is another.
Lechen noticed it, smiled softly, and said a few words as he walked past Chen Cangyu.
"They are all men, so they are all pretty much the same."
"How could I possibly accept that?"
This can be used.
————
Yan Siqing and the other person were about to leave, but Liao Qing suddenly came over and whispered a few words to Yan Siqing, politely embarrassing him.
"It's my eldest niece. She really wants to meet you."
“I don’t know…”
What's the problem?
Why was Liao Qing so nervous and sweating profusely?
Yan Siqing looked at Liao Qing and agreed.
Jiang Hui frowned, "I'll go with you."
"Need not."
Yan Siqing smiled and said, "Wait for me outside."
She then followed Liao Qing.
Passing the gate, she turned her head and saw Hai Fugui and others. When she noticed that Zhou Li was not there, she was stunned for a moment and naturally looked away.
Fingers rubbing under the sleeves...
