After returning to the side hall, Prince Lidun took out his right hand from his sleeve and saw five deep finger marks on his right hand. It was as if he had been pinched by iron pliers. His right hand was red, swollen and painful. Extremely uncomfortable.
This encounter also made him hate and fear Xiang Nan.
Unexpectedly, this person behaved in such a weird way. He not only made it difficult for him to be mute but also saved his face in front of everyone. He was both an enemy and a friend, which made him really confused.
…
Xiang Nan went into battle in person and defeated Prince Lidun, saving Toyo Chao's face and earning admiration from all the soldiers in Toyo Chao.
I didn't expect that the fifth prince, at such a young age, looked so gentle and elegant, but was so strong that he defeated the savage-like Prince Lidun. It was truly amazing!
"The fifth prince is mighty!"
"The fifth prince's divine power!"
Everyone praised him one after another.
"Okay, everyone, everyone is tired and needs a rest early. We have to go to see the King of Xizhou tomorrow." Xiang Nan ordered.
Everyone took orders one after another.
Xiang Nan also returned to the main hall, washed up, showered and changed clothes.
At this time, the ambassador had also served delicacies, wine and delicacies.
Xiang Nan has been walking in a hurry for the past ten days, and he has been tired of driving and horseback riding. He has never had a good meal, and birds have come out of his mouth, so now he is just in time to enjoy it.
Even if he is poisoned, he will not be afraid.
After all, with the miraculous power of "The Divine Foot Sutra", it can even dissolve the most poisonous ice silkworm in the world, let alone other poisons.
Even the more poisonous the poison, the faster his internal strength will grow after being resolved.
Because "The Divine Foot Sutra" is a wonderful method for defusing external demons during Qigong practice. The stronger the external demon, the more miraculous the Divine Foot Sutra becomes.
In "The Eight Parts of the Dragon", You Tanzhi studied the "Shenping Sutra" for less than half a year, and his internal strength was strong enough to rival Xiao Feng and surpass Ding Chunqiu and Murong Fu. This was because he was poisoned by ice silkworm poison, the most powerful poison in the world.
[In view of the general environment,
After eating and drinking, Xiang Nan went to bed to rest and recuperate, preparing to meet the King of Xizhou tomorrow.
…
At the same time, inside the Xizhou Palace.
A beautiful woman was covering her mouth and coughing lightly, leaving traces of blood on her handkerchief.
"Princess Mingyuan, are you okay?" At this time, a man hurriedly walked in. It was the person who had been monitoring Xiang Nan just now. Seeing this situation, he quickly stepped forward and asked with concern.
"I'm fine." The beauty waved her hand and said, it was Princess Toyo Chao Mingyuan.
It has been fifteen years since she came to the West to get married. She first married the original King of Xizhou, who is also the brother of the current King of Xizhou.
There is a custom in the Western Region of brotherhood, so after the death of the original King of Xizhou, the throne was inherited by the current King of Xizhou. Princess Mingyuan also remarried the current King of Xizhou as a concubine.
"Chai Mu, have you seen Cheng Yin?" Mingyuan asked.
"I see, the fifth prince is both civil and military, extremely intelligent, and very magnanimous. He is definitely not a thing in the pond." The middle-aged man named Chai Mu nodded.
Just now, Xiang Nan had a fight with Li Dun, and it was clear that he could win in one fell swoop, but he only taught Li Dun a small lesson, but avoided making him embarrassed in public, and was unwilling to antagonize Shuo Bo over trivial matters.
Obviously his intelligence and heart are first-class. However, he was able to win when wrestling with Li Dun. It was obvious that he had a lot of energy and his martial arts was quite good.
"When the crown prince dies, the throne of the East Palace becomes vacant. King Xuande is ambitious and covets the crown prince's position. And the Queen and the high ministers, in order to consolidate the power of their relatives, will definitely try their best to support a puppet to occupy the East Palace." Mingyuan sighed and said worriedly , "Cheng Yin's carefree life is about to end. Whether he wants it or not, he will be involved in this bloody storm.
"The fifth prince is simple, easy to be taken advantage of, and gullible. In addition, he is not the queen's biological son. If he loses his usefulness, his life may be in danger." Chai Mu also said worriedly.
Intelligence and simplicity are not contradictory. Qu Xiaofeng is also very smart, but unfortunately too naive.
"also
Xu, it's time to tell him the truth. "After thinking about it for a long time, Mingyuan finally made up his mind.
Chai Mu nodded.
…
Soon after, Xiang Nan led an envoy to the palace to meet the King of Xizhou.
"The fifth prince has arrived!" the courtesy officer shouted loudly.
"Li Chengyin, the fifth prince of the Feng Dynasty, pays homage to the king!" Xiang Nan led the members of the envoy into the main hall and bowed deeply to the king of Xizhou.
"No gifts!" King Xizhou said with a smile.
"I came to Xizhou this time on the order of my father. I came here specifically to present this letter of peace to the king and ask the king to read it." Xiang Nan presented the letter of peace to the country.
The King of Xizhou ordered his attendant to present it. After unfolding it, he looked at it carefully.
"My father hopes that the king can marry the nine princesses of your country to the Central Plains. After Princess Mingyuan, the two countries can once again be reunited and maintain good relations and have good relations for the rest of their lives." Xiang Nan continued.
"It is my long-cherished wish to make peace between the two countries and live together forever. This king..." The King of Xizhou smiled and nodded, about to nod in agreement.
At this moment, someone outside the palace was heard shouting, "I have been in the post house for seven days, why are you not allowed to see the king?"
Judging from the voice, it was none other than Prince Lidun whom we met yesterday.
"Your Majesty, is this the way of hospitality in Xizhou?" He shouted loudly outside the palace.
The King of Xizhou felt ashamed, but he did not dare to punish Li Dun's crime. After all, Shuobo has 100,000 troops and his national strength is much stronger than that of Xizhou. He didn't want to create such a powerful enemy out of thin air, so he could only let Prince Lidun in with a wave of his hand.
…
Prince Lidun then strode up to the hall.
"Prince Lidun is well~" Xiang Nan saluted.
Prince Li Dun glanced at Xiang Nan and subconsciously hid his right hand.
At this time, his right hand was still swollen and looked like a bear's paw.
This also caused him to have a psychological shadow when he saw Xiang Nan.
Later, Prince Lidun also made a marriage request to King Xizhou.
When the King of Xizhou heard this, he couldn't help but look gloomy.
First of all, King Shuobo is a dying old man, several dozen years older than King Xizhou. And my ninth princess has just grown hair, that is, she is only fifteen years old. Isn't it absurd that King Shuo Bo's granddaughters are all rich, but they want to marry him now?
Secondly, King Shuobo once married the eldest princess of King Tiedal of Danchi as his concubine, and the ninth princess was the granddaughter of King Tiedal. According to the etiquette, King Shuobo should be called uncle. Even if the people of the West don't pay much attention to ethical relationships, this matter is still very disgusting.
Thirdly, although Shuobo was more powerful than Xizhou, it was far inferior to Toyochao. The King of Xizhou had already decided to marry his daughter into the Feng Dynasty in order to continue the marriage, so how could he marry two daughters together and then betrothed to King Shuobo.
Prince Lidun seemed not to notice King Xizhou's expression, and still said enthusiastically, "Your Majesty, the proposal for marriage is more than a sincerity. Compared with Feng Chao who only brought a letter of marriage, we Shuobo are willing to take it. I will pay ten years of annual tribute as a betrothal gift to marry the Ninth Princess."
"Yes, if you want to propose marriage, you must put your sincerity first." At this time, a clear voice was heard outside the palace, and then three women dressed as palace maids came up to the palace.
The one in front has bright eyes, white teeth, picturesque features, vivid temperament, and high spirits. She is a complete beauty.
