After hearing this name, the smile on Jiang Li's brows instantly turned cold.
"Did A Yin find out something?"
Song Chengyin nodded slightly: "Ever since Ah Li told me about the jade pendant, I asked people to investigate the events related to your mother 20 years ago. As expected, we found some clues, but the clues were suddenly cut off while we were investigating."
"A few days ago, Dongli Kingdom sent a letter asking for peace. After learning that the envoy who came to negotiate peace was Dongli Kingdom's Xuanping Marquis Jiang Feng, I sent people to Dongli to check on this Xuanping Marquis. I learned that he had been to Beiyue Kingdom 20 years ago, and the place he stayed was Liuzhou."
Jiang Li pursed her lips when she heard this: "Your Majesty, when the envoys from Dongli Kingdom come to the palace, I want to see the true face of this Xuanping Marquis."
Although Jiang Li didn't know what Jiang Feng, who gave the jade pendant to her mother, looked like, she looked 50% similar to her mother. If this Marquis Xuanping was Jiang Feng, who gave the jade pendant to her mother, it would be impossible for him to have no reaction after seeing her.
"good."
Song Chengyin nodded without hesitation. No matter what Jiang Li wanted to do, he would stand by her side without hesitation.
Dongli and Beiyue reached a truce and made peace, and the four countries truly achieved peace and prosperity. War often brings suffering to the common people, and after learning that there was no fighting on the border, the common people smiled more.
No longer have to worry about war raids or husbands, brothers, and sons dying on the battlefield far away at the border.
Today is the day when the envoys from Dongli Kingdom come to Beiyue to negotiate peace. The people in the imperial city all straightened their backs, put on new clothes early, and squatted in front of the city gate with radiant faces.
They had finally waited for the truce and peace, so they naturally wanted to witness this moment with their own eyes! As the people were anxiously waiting, the team sent by Dongli Kingdom finally appeared in everyone's sight.
The leader, Marquis Xuanping, was a tall and strong man, sitting on horseback with a meticulous expression. There was no trace of embarrassment on his face as he represented the Dongli Kingdom in surrendering to the Beiyue Kingdom.
The people had heard something about the deeds of Marquis Xuanping. Although Dongli had been in a state of hostility with Beiyue before, they had to admit that Marquis Xuanping was a real man on the battlefield. It was said that it was all thanks to Marquis Xuanping that Dongli took the initiative to negotiate peace this time.
Those who maintain peace are all great heroes, so the people's attitude towards Xuanping Hou is not hostile or hateful, which is also the main reason why the Emperor of Dongli Kingdom sent him.
Under the gaze of the people, the Dongli Kingdom's troops marched towards the imperial palace in a mighty manner.
Song Chengyin and Jiang Li sat in high seats. All officials and court officials had already taken their seats, waiting for the arrival of the Dongli envoy.
"The Dongli envoy has arrived—"
The guards' voices were heard one after another from outside the hall all the way inside. Song Chengyin and Jiang Li looked towards the entrance of the hall, and all the officials and court officials also turned their heads and looked in the direction of the voices.
Led by Jiang Feng, the other envoys all followed him on both sides and walked towards the hall, not stopping until they reached the front of the hall.
"Dongli Envoy Jiang Feng pays homage to the Moon Emperor!"
"Meet the Moon Emperor!"
Jiang Feng and the messengers behind him all lifted up their robes and saluted Song Chengyin who was sitting on the dragon throne.
Song Chengyin lowered his eyes to look at the envoy kneeling in front of the hall, and said calmly: "You envoys have come from afar, and you have been traveling for several days. It is really hard. Come on, please take a seat."
"yes."
As soon as he finished speaking, Eunuch Su, who was standing on the side, hurried down the steps and came to the envoys, bowing and making a gesture of invitation: "Emissaries, please follow me and take a seat."
"Thank you, Moon Emperor!"
Everyone stood up with Jiang Feng, and then followed Eunuch Su to the seats on the left. Jiang Feng and an envoy of higher rank sat in the first row, and the other envoys took their seats behind them.
Song Chengyin spoke first, and Jiang Feng bowed his head and said, "In reply to the Moon Emperor, we came to Beiyue to negotiate peace on the orders of His Majesty. We came with sincerity. Here is the peace agreement. I hope the Moon Emperor will take a look at it!"
As soon as Jiang Feng finished speaking, the envoy beside him presented the peace letter to Eunuch Su. Eunuch Su came to Song Chengyin with the peace letter in both hands and placed it on the jade table in front of him.
As everyone waited, Song Chengyin opened the peace letter sent by Emperor Dongli. Just as Jiang Feng said, Dongli came to the peace talks with sincerity, and the contents of the peace letter were densely written all over the rice paper.
Song Chengyin read the entire contents of the peace agreement at a glance, and looked at Jiang Feng sitting on the lower left seat without changing his expression.
"Since Emperor Dongli sincerely wants to negotiate peace with Beiyue, I will accept this peace letter. I hope that the two countries will not interfere with each other in the future and live in peace."
"When I return, I will convey the Moon Emperor's words to Your Majesty without missing a word!"
Jiang Feng bowed to Song Chengyin at his seat, waiting for him to stamp the imperial seal on the two peace documents, and then take one of the documents back to Dongli intact.
Song Chengyin took the jade seal from the table and stamped Beiyue's jade seal next to the seal of Dongli Kingdom on the peace agreement.
The two countries have reached an agreement on peace.
After receiving the peace agreement, Jiang Feng was completely relieved, and said to Song Chengyin: "This time, His Majesty ordered me to bring some things to offer to Beiyue, and I hope that Emperor Yue will accept them."
"Well, Emperor Dongli is thoughtful."
Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen boxes of gold, silver and jewelry were carried into the hall, almost blinding everyone's eyes!
Mountains can be seen everywhere in Dongli Kingdom, and there are numerous mines. It is said that every citizen of Dongli Kingdom has his own mine and is very rich. Today, everyone has seen it with their own eyes.
Song Chengyin didn't react much to the gold, silver and jewelry displayed in the hall. In addition to focusing on the envoys from Dongli Kingdom, he also paid some attention to Jiang Li.
Jiang Li had been waiting for Jiang Feng's reaction when he saw her, but Jiang Feng kept his head down while talking, and their eyes never met. Although she sat there dignifiedly, Song Chengyin felt a hint of anxiety from her.
Just as he was about to speak, Jiang Li quietly tugged at his finger, signaling him to find a way to get Jiang Feng to raise his head.
A faint smile appeared in Song Chengyin's eyes, and he raised his hand and held Jiang Li's hand in his palm.
"Besides this, does Emperor Dongli have any other instructions?"
Song Chengyin asked suddenly, Jiang Feng was stunned and raised his head subconsciously.
His eyes first fell on Song Chengyin's face, and then he unconsciously looked at Jiang Li who was sitting next to him.
The moment he saw Jiang Li, Jiang Feng's eyes suddenly widened and he froze in place for a moment. All of a sudden his whole head began to ache as if it was about to explode. He felt as if he had forgotten something important.
"My Lord? My Lord, what's wrong with you?"
The people around him noticed that something was wrong with him and asked in a low voice.
But Jiang Feng remained in a daze, allowing the headache to spread all over his body.
Jiang Li and Song Chengyin looked at each other and immediately had the answer in their hearts...
