It was getting late, it was the night of the second day. The war of words outside the city had been going on for half a day, and the situation got out of hand several times.
Qiu Luan jumped up at least five times.
"Let's go, no more talking!"
Anda Khan and Hu Zongxian have been working hard to reach a consensus, but the final conditions are always stuck with Xiao Qin.
In the end, Anda Khan personally begged Xiao Qin for mercy. He once wanted Xiao Feng to die the most, but now the situation has reversed.
Xiao Feng can exchange for mutual trade and the stability of his own dominance. This is almost a calculation that does not need to be settled.
It's a pity that Xiao Qin kept smiling and shaking his head. He didn't want the peace negotiation to succeed at all. Even if he didn't want to kill Xiao Feng originally, in order to keep the Tatars and Ming Dynasty fighting, he could only bear the pain and give up.
Just like what he said before, he doesn't want to get involved in the Xiao family's blood, unless Xiao Feng hinders his big event! This is now the case!
So now the situation has become extremely weird: Anda Khan, who originally wanted to kill Xiao Feng, hoped that Xiao Qin could save Xiao Feng; but Xiao Qin, who originally didn't want to kill Xiao Feng, had already made up his mind to kill Xiao Feng and sabotage the peace negotiation. .
It was getting late, and Xiao Feng faced a choice. He had two things that he had to do, and he had to arrange them in order. In the end, he decided to go to Liu Tong's house first.
An Qingyue was away, and Zhan Yu was sent back to Prince Yu's Mansion by Xiao Feng.
The rest of the family were very happy that Xiao Feng had returned home safely, and were preparing delicious food.
Xiao Feng wrote on a piece of paper, folded it and put it in his arms, then found Qiao Niang.
"Prepare some gifts for me, I'm going to visit the Liu Mansion."
Qiao Niang was very happy. She felt that after joining the army, she became more mature and stable when she came back. She didn't need to remind her of such things.
So he hurriedly arranged for gifts, and finally reminded Xiao Feng: "Master, you also want to prepare some gifts for Miss Xue'er, do you have any?"
Xiao Feng smiled faintly: "Don't worry, there is some."
This time, Xiao Feng didn't let anyone follow him. He carried the gift box and walked through the main street at night towards the Liu Mansion diagonally opposite.
Since Xiao Feng returned home, the Liu Mansion has entered a state of first-level combat readiness. The housekeeper personally sits in the concierge to keep a close eye on the goings-on in the Xiao Mansion.
At this time, the housekeeper had been staring at him all day and was in a drowsy state. The old concierge with few teeth next to him woke him up.
"Butler, butler, Xiao Feng is out!"
The housekeeper was so excited that he jumped up and ran out of the concierge. As a result, he bumped into Liu Tong who was standing at the gate and peering out.
"Master, you too..."
"Shut up and help me up. I'll go back to the main hall and wait. Just be casual and calm. Don't be embarrassed!"
Xiao Feng knocked on the small door, and the door opened. Standing there was a calm and casual housekeeper, holding his bloody nose.
"Oh, Mr. Xiao, I didn't expect it was you. Please come in quickly. Please come in quickly. My master may have fallen asleep before you were waiting for you. I'll go and report it first."
The housekeeper ran to the door of the main room and felt that Xiao Feng could not see him. He did not even enter the room and ran back to greet Xiao Feng.
"The master is not asleep. Mr. Xiao, please come in."
When Xiao Feng arrived at the main room, he discovered that Liu Tong was not just awake. He was sitting in the middle of the lobby. The bead curtain beside him had already been hung up. He could see a few vague figures behind the bead curtain.
After Xiao Feng saluted, Liu Tong said calmly: "You must be very tired after returning from the army. You should rest more at home. There is no need to come here in such a hurry."
Before Xiao Feng could answer, Mrs. Liu behind the bead curtain had already shouted.
"Xiao Feng, come here quickly, let me take a look! They all said that you were just cured after being poisoned, but is there anything else that feels uncomfortable?"
Xiao Feng walked to the bead curtain. Through the bead curtain, he could see the faces of Mrs. Liu and Liu Xueer flickering in and out. Their faces were full of concern, and they were almost pressed against the bead curtain, for fear of not being able to see clearly.
"Thank you, aunt, for your concern. It's resolved. It's okay."
Liu Tong also tilted his head and secretly observed Xiao Feng's expression through the light, but could not see anything unusual.
Mrs. Liu asked a few more questions, and Xiao Feng answered them one by one, but never mentioned Liu Xueer. Liu Xueer waited impatiently behind the bead curtain, and finally couldn't help but speak.
"Brother Xiao Feng, this journey must be very dangerous. I am very worried at home..."
Xiao Feng was silent for a moment, then raised his head with a smile: "Yes, war is dangerous and dangerous. This has been the case since ancient times. The court has also undergone changes, and the danger is no less dangerous than the battlefield.
In fact, the happiest days are ordinary days. But if there is no prosperous age, the life of men farming and women weaving is just a dream. "
Liu Xueer was stunned. Although Brother Xiao Feng didn't have many opportunities to talk to her, he comforted her and made her happy every time he spoke. Why did he feel weird when he spoke this time.
"Brother Xiao Feng, I heard from dad that many people died in this war. It's so scary..." 33
"Well, no one will die in a war. Even in normal times, no one can guarantee that there will be no accidents.
When people die, they die. It doesn't matter. It's just that their relatives and friends have to learn to adapt to life without them and continue to live without them. "
Liu Xueer became more and more confused: "Brother Xiao Feng, I embroidered a fan cover for you during this period. I see that you always hold the fan. Without the cover, it will get dirty."
Xiaomei ran out from behind the bead curtain and handed the fan cover to Xiao Feng. Xiao Feng held the fan cover in his hand, feeling the silkiness and softness, and the smile on his face became a little hard.
"Thank you. I came back in a hurry this time, but I didn't bring you anything."
After talking for a while, Xiao Feng took his leave, leaving a unhappy Liu Xueer, feeling that something was wrong with Brother Xiao Feng this time.
As the master, Liu Tong naturally wanted to send Xiao Feng away. The housekeeper led the way, and Xiao Feng and Liu Tong walked side by side, staggered by half their positions to show the difference in seniority.
When he reached the gate, Liu Tong hesitated for the third time. Seeing Xiao Feng looking at him, he quickly pretended to yawn.
"Shibo is in the imperial court, and it is inevitable that he will sometimes be unable to control himself. Shibo has always kept a low profile to protect himself. This is a good strategy, and you can continue to stick to it.
It's just that my nephew still has to advise Shibo. Even if one day the traitor party becomes powerful, my uncle will never help him do evil. At worst, he will resign.
When the traitor party falls, my uncle will naturally be reused again. A gentleman should be on time and wait for orders, and should not be a villain in vain. "
Xiao Feng's tone was casual, but his words were serious. It was really rude to say this to Liu Tong in his capacity.
But Liu Tong did not get furious this time, but nodded. It seemed that something was wrong with him and Xiao Feng today.
Xiao Feng took out the letter from his arms and handed it to Liu Tong with a smile: "Shibo, keep it. This is worth ten taels of silver."
Liu Tong grinned awkwardly, but he hesitated and didn't reach out! Xiao Feng couldn't help but be surprised, you were crazy about wanting this thing before, how can you be so reserved now?
"So, what Dr. Jing said is true? He said it when I was drinking. I didn't believe it at first..."
Xiao Feng smiled: "Uncle Shi, don't drink with Dr. Jing. You will be in trouble if your aunt finds out."
He forced the letter into Liu Tong's hand, took half a step back, bowed deeply to Liu Tong, turned around and left calmly.
Liu Tong held the letter in his hand, looked at the confused butler next to him, glared at him angrily, took out the letter, and squinted his eyes under the light of the lantern on the door.
"As the head of the Xiao family, Xiao Feng voluntarily terminates his engagement with Liu Xue'er, Miss Liu Mansion. From the date of the agreement, both parties will part ways and not get entangled with each other."
Below is a bright red fingerprint, pressed on Xiao Feng's signature, and the place where Liu Tong's name should be written is blank.
As long as Liu Tong writes his name and fingerprints, the divorce agreement will take effect immediately. One is separate and the other is broad, and they do not get entangled with each other.
The housekeeper was surprised to find that Liu Tong did not look happy. He put the letter in his arms, thought about it, took it out and stuffed it into his sleeve.
He took two steps and took it out again, stuffed it into his arms, then took two steps and took it out again. It was as if it was not an engagement letter, but a fiery red carbon ball.
At this time, the negotiations were finally coming to an end.
No matter how much pressure Hu Zongxian and Anda Khan exerted, Xiao Qin refused to agree. Seeing that the two sides had reached a stalemate, and Anda Khan was obviously leaning towards peace talks, Xiao Qin walked towards Qiu Luan with a smile on his face.
"I heard that General Qiu has always been greedy for life and afraid of death. I didn't expect that this time he actually led an army to fight a bloody battle with the Tatars, and he dared to act as an envoy. I was impressed."
No matter how angry Qiu Luan was, he would not accept being scolded. Moreover, Jiajing had told him that he should not forget the four-character mantra. He jumped up immediately.
"Let's go, no more talking!"
Xiao Qin waited until he stood up and stretched out his hands silently, seemingly pressing on Qiu Luan's shoulders to show his intention to stay. No one realized there was anything wrong.
The attendant who had been standing with his head bowed suddenly turned sideways in front of Qiu Luan, turned his hands up, and met Xiao Qin's pressed palms.
The two people's palms intertwined. The attendant's legs weakened and he almost fell to his knees. But then he straightened his waist and stood firm again. He pushed up with both hands and pushed Xiao Qin's palms away.
Xiao Qin was stunned, never expecting that this silent follower could be so skilled!
But now the arrow was on the string and had to be fired. He shrank his hands and spat them out, heading straight for the follower's chest.
His upturned palms were immediately retracted, his legs were slightly bent, his waist was lowered and his elbows were lowered, and he used all his strength to push out.
From the first fight just now, he knew that he was no match for the opponent, so this time, he tried his best!
The four palms of the two sides touched together again, but this time it was not as silent as last time, but made an extremely dull sound, like a leather drum being broken.
Xiao Qin took a step back, lifted his feet off the ground, and flew backwards in order to relieve his strength, directly knocking Qiu Luan behind him back into the chair.
The attendant also sat down in Qiu Luan's arms, looking miserable. He straightened his waist and stood up again, with blood oozing from the corners of his mouth.
Idahan was shocked: "Xiao Qin, what are you going to do? Someone is here!"
Anda Khan has already seen Xiao Qin's purpose. As long as Xiao Qin kills the envoy, the peace talks will never succeed. If it weren't for the follower's unexpected skill, Xiao Qin would have succeeded by now.
Xiao Qin missed the shot and knew the chance was gone. At this time, Anda Khan's soldiers had already rushed into the camp and surrounded Anada Khan and the Ming Dynasty envoys.
Xiao Qin looked at the golden light shining on the attendant's hand covering his chest, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
"I wonder who has such skill. It turns out that it's the head of the Criminal Department. No wonder, no wonder. It's a pity that I have never met you. If I had recognized you earlier, I wouldn't have missed you."
Zhan Feiyun endured the blood boiling in his chest and did not dare to speak, for fear that a mouthful of blood would spurt out if he spoke.
Some people died, but not completely...
