Chapter 658
After Ning Guo reached peace with Du Ji, he sent envoys again non-stop to negotiate peace with Feng Guo.
Now Ningguo no longer wants to fight anymore. The two wars that broke out at the same time, especially the Hedong War, have greatly damaged Ningguo's military strength. What Ningguo needs most now is time. It is eager to restore its military strength. Stabilizing Fengguo is the top priority.
In order to show the sincerity of this peace negotiation, the Ningguo court sent Chief Sun Yuanhong back to Liangzhou, and the Ning Army camp in Hexi was temporarily commanded by Wei Zheng. In addition, Ningguo also sent Dahonglu Hongluo and Ningguo Princess Yan Yinghan to Yancheng. First, to negotiate peace. , the second is marriage, to put it bluntly, the princess is left as a hostage in Feng Country to show sincerity TXT download.
At that time, it was not uncommon for vassal states to make peace with each other or send princes and princesses to each other as hostages. This time, Ning Guo took the initiative to make peace with Feng State. First, he was frightened by the bravery and good fighting skills of Feng Army. Secondly, the emperor has settled in Feng State, which somewhat makes Ning Guo feel wary and wants to form a friendly relationship with Feng State.
Tang Yin received the Ningguo envoy at his temporary palace (the current residence can no longer be called a palace).
Hong Luo is an old man over sixty years old, with gray beard and hair, but he is tall. Even though he is old, he is not old. , a general who commands thousands of armies.
With him is Princess Yan Yinghan of Ning State. She is dressed in white, white skirt, white gauze and white shoes. She is all in white. Her face is also covered with white gauze, only two big and round eyes are exposed. The same goes for the two maids behind her. dress up. They were all dressed in white, so they were beautiful, but according to the customs of the time, they only wore white clothes during funerals.
Perhaps because of his training in dark spiritual martial arts, Tang Yin prefers black to white, so he felt disgusted when he saw Yan Yinghan for the first time. Feng Guo, who has always used black as the main color, is not very fond of white. The civil and military ministers around the hall had similar psychology to Tang Yin, and they all frowned secretly.
Tang Yin couldn't see Yan Yinghan's expression clearly, but only looked at her two exposed eyes. Tang Yin sneered. It wasn't that she looked ugly, but that the other person's eyes were too panicked. Her big eyes were erratic and blinking. It didn't look like she was here to see him. As a Wind King, it's more like he's here to meet demons and ghosts.
The majestic princess of a country is so timid and behaves in such a panic. Not to mention losing face, she is not as good as an ordinary girl from a common family, or even...not as good as the maid behind her.
Tang Yin raised his eyes and looked at the maid behind Yan Yinghan. Although the maid on the left could see that she was scared, she at least acted calmly. The maid on the right had an extraordinary bearing. Although she lowered her head to see clearly, she could not see clearly. The temperament revealed naturally is very elegant, with a noble and peaceful air.
oh? Tang Yin narrowed his eyes and stared sharply at the famous maid.
The latter seemed to feel his gaze, subconsciously raised his head and met Tang Yin's eyes.
The maid looked very delicate and beautiful, with rosy eyebrows and white skin. When she met Tang Yin's gaze, she didn't panic at all and lowered her head as if nothing had happened.
interesting! Tang Yin secretly smiled in his heart. Compared with Yan Yinghan, this little maid's demeanor and calmness looked more like a princess...
"My lord, Ningguo Grand Hong Luo Hong Luo and his second princess Yan Yinghan are here to pay their respects to His Highness the Wind King!" As he spoke, Hong Luo bowed his hands to Tang Yin and bowed deeply.
Seeing that he only bowed and saluted but did not kneel down, the generals on Tang Yin's left snorted coldly, and at the same time, the sound of their palms grasping the hilt of the sword was heard continuously.
Hong Luo's expression remained unchanged, and he maintained the posture of bowing and saluting, while Yan Yinghan, who was standing aside, was shaken, his legs were weak, and he almost sat on the ground.
Fortunately, the maid behind her reacted quickly enough and stretched out her hand to support her. At the same time, she pulled the corner of her clothes without leaving any trace, hinting her to salute Tang Yin quickly.
Others might not notice her little move, but it didn't catch Tang Yin's eyes.
He secretly laughed in his heart. It seemed that the princess standing in front was not a real princess, and the maid behind was not a real maid either. This was quite interesting.
"I've seen the Wind King!" 'Yan Yinghan' tremblingly gave a blessing, his voice as low as a mosquito's cry.
Tang Yin laughed in his heart, but without criticizing him, he waved his hand casually and said, "Pingshen."
"Thank you, King Feng!" Hong Luo thanked him loudly and straightened up.
Tang Yin leaned to the side, casually leaning on the handle of the chair, supporting his cheek with his arm, and asked with a smile: "Master Hong, I heard that you came to Feng Country this time to discuss peace."
"No!"
Hong Luo responded, took out a roll of silk from his sleeve, handed it forward respectfully, and said, "This is a peace treaty drawn up by my king himself. Please take a look at it, King Feng."
"Bring it up!"
An attendant hurriedly came forward, took the silk cloth, and brought it to Tang Yin. The latter took it and unfolded it and looked at it. The content inside was similar to the peace treaty negotiated last time. The details may have changed, but overall it was still the same. After reading it once, Tang Yin threw the silk cloth on the table. Instead of answering directly, he pointed at 'Yan Yinghan' and asked with a smile: "What's going on with her?"
Hong Luo said solemnly: "In order to express our sincerity in negotiating peace, I, Princess Ningci, have been betrothed to His Highness the Wind King. I hope that our two countries, Ning and Feng, can put aside their past grudges, stay connected forever, and form a friendly alliance!"
"Oh! So that's it, haha——"
The king's chair was wide, and Tang Yin was almost half lying on it lazily. He looked around at the ministers on his left and right and asked, "The second princess of Ningguo is going to marry my Dafeng. I wonder which lord or general is willing to marry the princess?"
When this was said, Hong Luo's face suddenly changed, and the ministers and generals around him were also shocked.
People have already said that the princess is going to marry the king, why is the king asking them again?
I don't understand Tang Yin's intention. Even if he is not joking, no one dares to marry the princess of Ningguo. Feng and Ningguo may go to war at any time. If you marry the princess of Ningguo, you may be accused of treason.
After asking twice, seeing that no one answered, Tang Yin smiled and said, "Why? In your eyes, the princess of Ningguo is so terrible?"
Such humiliation made Hong Luo, 'Yan Yinghan' and the two maids blush, especially the maid on the right, who had raised her head at this time, looking at Tang Yin's pair of phoenix eyes almost spitting fire.
Seeing that none of the ministers dared to answer, Tang Yin sat up straight, looked outside the palace, and shouted: "Listen, soldiers outside, who is willing to marry Princess Ningguo, just say it!"
Not long after he finished speaking, someone outside the palace shouted: "I am willing to marry!"
As the voice came, a captain of the guards came in from outside. His old face was red. He glanced at the bewildered 'Yan Yinghan', knelt down at the door of the palace, and kowtowed to Tang Yin.
The ministers had concerns, but the soldiers below didn't care about that. They were all rough people. They listened to what Tang Yin said and didn't consider anything else. Being able to marry Princess Ningguo is an unattainable dream for ordinary people. Who doesn't want to try it?
Looking at the kneeling captain of the guards below, Tang Yin smiled with his eyes curved and waved his hand: "Stand up!"
"Yes! King!" The captain of the guards stood up.
"What's your name?"
"I'm Liu Dali!"
"Yes! Sure!" Tang Yin nodded, pointed at 'Yan Yinghan' who didn't understand what was going on, and said: "She will be your wife in the future. Now, I'll give you a day off, you can take her home!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The captain of the guards was so happy that he almost jumped up and down. He knelt down and kowtowed three times, then strode up to 'Yan Yinghan' and pretended to hug her.
At this time, not only the ministers were dumbfounded, but even Hong Luo was stunned. Seeing that Tang Yin was not joking, he quickly reached out and stopped the captain of the guards. He turned back and glared at Tang Yin, shouting: "What does Your Highness Feng mean? How can I, the Princess of Daning, marry a soldier of Feng State?"
"Humph!" Tang Yin sneered and said: "You made a fake princess to deceive me, do you really think I don't know? Let her marry the brothers of Feng Army, I feel wronged by my brothers, how dare you pick on them here?"
Ah? Hong Luo was shocked. How did Tang Yin know that the princess was fake? Has he seen the princess? Impossible...
Seeing his doubts, Tang Yin said leisurely: "No need to guess, this king not only knows your country's second princess, but also..."
"Nonsense!"
This was not said by Hong Luo, but by the maid. She stared at Tang Yin and said angrily: "I have never seen you, how can I say I know you?" After saying that, she saw the smile in Tang Yin's eyes getting thicker and thicker. She immediately realized that she had spoken out of turn, but she didn't care. She said seriously: "I am the second princess of Ningguo, Yan Yinghan!"
Wow--there was an uproar in the hall. It was not until this time that the ministers realized that the woman with a white veil on her face was not the princess of Ningguo, but the maid behind her.
What tricks is Ningguo playing?
"Bold!" Zhang Xin, the internal historian of Zhisu, shouted angrily, stepped out of the class, and questioned: "Sir Hong, your country pretended to be a princess and deceived the king. Is this your sincerity in negotiating peace?"
Hong Luo secretly said bitterly! I didn't expect Tang Yin to be so cunning and see the flaw so quickly.
At this time, Hong Luo was no longer as calm as before, and beads of sweat flowed down his temples.
Tang Yin sneered and said, "I will say this for you. Ningguo's peace talks are just a delaying tactic. They don't really want to marry the princess to Fengguo. They created a fake princess to deceive people. Then they will find a way to secretly send the real princess back to Ningguo. If the matter is exposed, the real princess will stand up to defend herself. Lord Hong, am I right?"
Before Hong Luo could answer, Yan Yinghan continued, "No! It was my idea to let the maid pretend to be the princess. It has nothing to do with Ningguo. If my brother really wanted to deceive His Royal Highness Fengwang, he would not have let His Royal Highness Fengwang see the flaw so quickly!"
