When Jing Nian saw what Old Tianqi said, he was overjoyed, but on the surface he remained calm and said, "I know Yin Yanlai is recuperating in the Chen Mansion. Without further delay, I think we will take action tonight."
Old Man Tianqi waved his hand and said: "Don't be reckless. Today's Chen Mansion is heavily guarded and is no longer a place where we can come and go at will."
Jing Nian said: "What should we do? If we delay for a long time, I'm afraid I will have a long night and many dreams." Old man Tianqi smiled slightly and said: "Don't panic, I have a clever plan. The time should be up."
When Jing Nian was confused, he heard the sound of horse hooves on the path outside the temple. Zhang Yiyi heard this and hurriedly whispered: "Everyone, be careful, they are here to help again."
Zhao Niantong asked curiously: "Master Zhang, how do you know that the people who came here are from their group?" Zhang Daodao said: "This place is very quiet and deserted. If there are people coming, most likely they are coming to the Guandi Temple. Except for Apart from us following them quietly, the only one who knows this place must be their accomplices."
As they were talking, the sound of horse hoofbeats was getting closer and closer. The four of them looked around and saw four big maroon horses coming up the trail. There were three men and one woman on them, all dressed as ordinary people. Four people came to the temple, got off their horses, and walked straight to the main hall.
Pan Suxuan stared at the girl among the four in the dark. Zhao Niantong saw this and whispered: "What are you looking at?" Pan Suxuan said: "Where have I seen this girl?" Zhao Niantong said disdainfully: "Why don't I remember it? ? I think you think they are beautiful and want to see them more." Pan Suxuan was about to refute, but Chen Mo said from the side: "Stop arguing and listen to what they have to say."
Then I heard the old man Tianqi say with a smile: "Several envoys have arrived. I am extremely honored. Please take a seat." The woman smiled slightly and was about to speak when a red-faced man next to her suddenly said loudly: "Sit down now, we... You are still very busy. Your Majesty said that you have something to do with us. Please tell us what it is. After we finish talking, we... will leave." Old man Tianqi was stunned and thought to himself: "How could this man have such a rude tone?" After thinking about it, he understood. , "The southern barbarian land has not yet been Chineseized, and most people can only speak Miao. This guy probably only has a superficial understanding of Chinese. His intention is not to be rude, but he just doesn't express what he means."
Thinking of this, he smiled slightly and said: "Envoy, don't be impatient. I have a gift that I need to ask the envoy to pass on to His Majesty the King." After saying that, he waved his hand behind him, and a man in black next to him stepped forward and handed a scroll into the hands of old man Tianqi. . The red-faced man asked in confusion: "What gift? A book? Our king has a lot of books. You don't need it...you give it to him." The old man Tianqi said: "This is not an ordinary book, this is a map of the nine states of the world, and also Please be sure to forward the map of the territory that King Chiyue can command after this is completed, please be sure to pass it on to the special envoy."
The red-faced man said displeased: "You are looking for us... just for a picture? Is this why we came all the way here, and the coquettish penny-pinchers turned into common people?"
Old Man Tianqi smiled secretly in his heart. He was a fool. He wanted to show off his knowledge even though he didn't understand idioms. He ignored him and said loudly: "If the special envoy thinks that there is nothing wrong with the map, then please forward it to King Chiyue, and we will follow the agreed plan. Go ahead, if there is nothing else, the special envoy please come back."
The red-faced man was furious and said sternly: "You, you are attacking us?!" He suddenly reached the old man Tianqi, his right palm turned into a claw and went straight to grab the old man Tianqi's face.
Old Man Tianqi didn't dodge, he just smiled slightly, then he heard the big red-faced man yell, jumped back, grabbed his right hand with all his strength, and shouted: "You...you monster, use witchcraft to hurt people?!"
Old Man Tianqi smiled and said nothing, turned around and walked towards the main hall. "Please stay!" said a voice as sweet as a bell.
Pan Suxuan heard this from outside the wall and whispered to Zhao Niantong: "I know who this girl is, she is Baozhuhua." Zhao Niantong asked curiously: "Who is Baozhuhua?" Pan Suxuan said: "It's the envoy of Nanmiao. There are three big men with her, they seem to be named Jin Yugua, Silver Yugua, and Bronze Yugua. They were sent by that king." Zhao Niantong said: "King Chiyue?!" Pan Suxuan said: "Exactly , do you remember?"
Zhao Niantong said: "No, didn't they just talk about King Chiyue? It must be him, right?" After hearing this, Pan Suxuan looked at Zhao Niantong helplessly.
Zhao Niantong smiled and said: "I really didn't remember it. Unlike you, I have a photographic memory of beauties." Pan Suxuan said: "This jewel is not simple. Judging from her words and deeds, it seems that she belongs to the four Southern Miao people." Leader." Zhao Niantong said disdainfully: "What about the leader? What kind of powerful character can there be in the desolate land of the Southern Barbarians? I think even if their king comes, he is just a clown."
Zhang Yi suddenly interjected: "Young Master Zhao's words are wrong. Although the Miao land in the south is a poor place, it is full of talented people. Take King Chiyue as an example. Sixteen years ago, his father, King Jinri, rebelled and was defeated by General Chen. After that, it ended in gloom. For a time, the Southern Miao Kingdom was leaderless. Several brothers of King Jinri supported their troops and wanted to establish themselves as kings. The country was on the verge of falling apart. At that time, King Chiyue was only seventeen years old. Even though the country Most of the veterans in the Central Government supported him in inheriting the throne, but they did not have military power. The remaining soldiers of the Southern Miao Kingdom were in the hands of the brothers, King Jinri.
Therefore, someone suggested that Chiyue go to Guo Liaoxiong, who was stronger at the time, and ask him to support him in inheriting the throne of the king. Chiyue knew that Guo Liaoxiong was lustful, so in order to gain his support, she did not hesitate to give her most beloved concubine to Guo Liaoxiong as a gift, and made a promise that if she became the king, she would make Guo Liaoxiong the king and make him king. The fiefdom was expanded three times.
Guo Liaoxiong could not resist the temptation of beauty and agreed to support Chiyue. With Guo Liaoxiong's support, the other brothers of King Jinri did not dare to say anything more. After Chiyue became the queen, she used soft and hard tactics, kindness and power, and used thunderous means to defeat these uncles. Within three years, the domestic political situation in Southern Miao was stabilized. After that, he worked hard to govern, work diligently and care for the people. Over the past ten years, the Southern Miao Kingdom has achieved great national strength and can compete with the Central Plains. "
Zhao Niantong asked curiously: "Master Zhang, how come you know so much about the affairs of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom?" Zhang Yi smiled bitterly and said: "To tell you the truth, I am originally from the Miao ethnic group."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and Zhao Niantong was even more astonished: "Zhang... Zhang Daxia, are you from the Miao ethnic group? Is the Zhang family name also a Miao ethnic group?"
Zhang Yidao: "My real surname is Hexiao, which can also be called Giepi, with the single word Ying. Zhang Yi is just my Han name."
Zhao Niantong said: "He Xiaoying, it's a very nice name. Then why did you leave the Miao land and come to the Central Plains?"
Zhang Daodao: "Well, it's a long story. This is not the place to talk. I'll tell you all when I have time." Zhao Niantong was very curious and was about to continue asking when he heard Chen Mo say: "Come and listen, they are playing Woke up!"
