Chapter 370 Assassination, Hero Saves Beauty

Didn’t it mean that Queen Xiqi had been in Dongling for several days?

Why is no one seen?

Duanmu Yu felt suspicious and turned to look at Yanguo Prince Wei Heng. There was a deep color in their eyes, and then they sat down without saying a word.

"Northern Xinjiang pays tribute every year to celebrate my birthday. This year, His Majesty the Emperor is even more present. I am very touched." Xuanyuan Hao spoke lightly, with a calm and cold tone. The majesty of the king of a country is so strong that it makes people's hearts palpitate. "Emperor Duanmu Have a heart."

Duanmuyu raised his glass: "Diplomatic relations are a major event between the two countries, involving the people's livelihood and stability, and cannot be neglected. His Majesty Emperor Ming and I have the same heart for the people. I thank His Majesty Emperor Ming for his tolerance to all countries. I would like to toast to the Emperor. "

Xuanyuan Hao picked up the wine cup and gestured to him from afar.

The civil and military officials below naturally raised their glasses in agreement.

As for whether it is for the sake of the people's livelihood of the two countries, they know very well in their hearts.

Although the Duanmu Emperor had been on the throne for a long time, he had come to Dongling twice when he was the crown prince, and his visit had bad intentions and had great ambitions to annex the world.

It's a pity that his ability is not equal to his ambition.

Nowadays, Dongling is a powerful country with the largest territory, the strongest military force, and the richest economy in the world. Emperor Duanmu knew that he could not afford to offend him, so he had to keep his tail between his legs.

In previous years, princes or prime ministers were sent with envoys to pay tribute. This year, the king of a country came in person, and he had some ulterior motives.

"I heard that the regent went to Xiqi and recognized a adopted daughter." Duanmu Yu raised his eyes, "Congratulations to His Majesty Emperor Ming for having an adopted daughter."

Xuanyuan Hao's expression was indifferent: "Thank you. However, the recognition of the adopted daughter is a matter between the father and the mother, and it has little to do with me."

"You can't say that." Duanmu Yu looked a little unnatural, and even his smile showed a bit of hypocrisy and far-fetched, "The adopted daughter recognized by the Regent has become the Queen of Xiqi. This means that Dongling and Xiqi will be in the future. As a family, the relationship between the family will naturally become closer.”

"That's true in name." Xuanyuan Hao nodded, "But in fact, public is public and private is private, and they cannot be confused. Although the diplomatic relations between the two countries are important, they still have to be measured, otherwise they will only make people suspicious. "

What suspicion?

Worried that Dongling has thoughts of annexing Xiqi?

Duanmu Yu thought this in his heart, but he also knew that the Dongling community was stable and the possibility of initiating a war was very small. After all, with Dongling's strength, not to mention the more than ten years since the new emperor ascended the throne, even if the Queen and Regent had not yet While in power, it is not difficult to annex other countries.

Therefore, it is really unclear what kind of attitude Emperor Dongling holds towards Xiqi now.

…

Emperor Dongling celebrated his birthday in the palace. Chu Qinghuang galloped for seven consecutive days, traveling more than a thousand miles a day, and crossed the border of Dongling on the third day of March.

Encountered assassins when they arrived at the junction of Dongling, Dazhou and Xiqi.

A dozen masked men in black clothes descended from the sky, all of whom were highly skilled in martial arts and held long swords. There were also a dozen crossbowmen who were ambushing in the mountains.

Obviously he came prepared.

Chu Qinghuang stopped his horse and looked coldly at the group of assassins in front of him. Their eyes were dead and calm, without any emotion that belonged to humans.

Death warrior.

A soldier who will never stop dying.

Chu Qinghuang was obviously not panicked when dealing with such a battle. After all, there were only about thirty people in total, which was not enough to make her panic.

But even though she wasn't panicking, it didn't mean that some people wouldn't be self-righteous.

Just as the two sides were exchanging words, Chu Qinghuang watched the men in black fall down one by one. All the evil energy in Chu Qinghuang's body was stirred up, and a white shadow fell from the sky - in the wilderness, whether it was an assassin or a hero saving a beautiful woman, they all seemed to like it. Appear in an enigmatic manner.

I don’t know how many times I rehearsed it beforehand.

In short, this man swept his long sword across the battlefield and killed all the dead soldiers who were at the end of their crossbows in an instant. Then he landed gracefully on the ground and clasped his fists towards Chu Qinghuang, showing a gentlemanly demeanor.

"Girl, don't be afraid, the thieves have been killed by me." The chivalrous character of the man in white and drawing his sword to help was clearly revealed here, completely ignoring the several masters behind Chu Qinghuang, "This place is full of no regard." The area is full of fish and dragons, and it is inevitable that there will be some bandits and bandits. It is inherently dangerous for the girl to go out, so she must be extremely careful. "

Chu Qinghuang's expression was calm and his voice was light: "Thank you for your help, sir. I don't know your name?"

"My surname is Zhou, my single name is Shao, and I am known as Mr. Saturday."

Chu Qinghuang silently looked at the handsome young man in front of him, Mr. Saturday?

Zhou Shao, the sixth son of the Zhou family, the largest merchant family in the Western Qi Dynasty, is the most powerful among the direct lineage of the Zhou family. Although he is still known as the young master, he has already taken over the power of the family head.
