Between the vast sea of ​​clouds

Chapter 105 Peace Talk

It rained heavily for several days, many puddles accumulated in the grass, and the mountains in the distance were shrouded in clouds and mist. Juning Pass was entrenched under the blue sky like a long dragon, turning into a black shadow that could be seen in the distance.Qingping led the horse and walked through a lush grassland, where many purple wild flowers grew, blooming recklessly in the sun.

She was walking in the endless green grass, and the wind gently swayed the grass, rising and falling like ocean waves.After a heavy rain, everything grows vigorously. This is the spring in Yunzhou.This reminded her of many springs like this in her life. She didn't know when it started, and she could no longer have such a clear feeling about the changes of the four seasons.She remembered that in Hezhou, the city was full of flower sellers, walking slowly in the streets and alleys, with a long accent, and the end of the sound fell at the corner, and it seemed that the lingering sound could be heard after a long time.Several months of rain made the air humid. Many of Hezhou's memories have been blurred, but some of them can be remembered very firmly.Life seems to be like this, keep moving forward, keep forgetting, let go of the past, and face the new unknown.

She walked across the meadow in a way that seemed to divide the sea of ​​green.After she left, they gradually closed again in the bright spring.

Qingping folded a flower, the spring is rare, although the beauty is easy to dissipate.No matter how much she tried to persuade her to stay, it was futile. Looking back at the way she had come, she felt a sense of loss for no reason.But she didn't understand where this feeling came from, so she could only look at it without saying a word, and rode away.

The third year of Taiqi is destined to be an extraordinary year. Daiguo and Xirong have been at war for many years. The two sides are finally going to hold peace talks in Yunzhou. accompanied by people, but no one knows who it is.The venue for the peace talks is in the ancient city, guarded by the Yunce army, so there is no need to worry about any troubles caused by the Xirong people.

But then again, if it was a matter of two countries, Xirong would not send some militants to provoke.The strengths of each other are equal, if they can sit down and have a good talk, if the matter is completed, the adults who participated in the scene will naturally be fortunate enough to leave a mark in the history. Therefore, all the officials are strictly prepared. The upper ones are arranged in order according to the grade, and they all wear court dress bead crowns.Headed by Yan Muyun, the scholar of the university, followed by the king of Xin Chujun, followed by Jiangmin, the governor of Yunzhou, the chiefs of the three counties, and then the officials who accompanied the banquet.

The leader of the Xirong mission was the patriarch of the Wu Siam tribe, wearing a lot of agate jade on his head, towering like a hill, intertwined with his hair.There are also strings of red and sapphires hanging around her neck, and gold and silver bracelets on her wrists, which jingle as she walks.The rest of the people behind her were dressed like this, and some of them were full of hostility when they looked at the surrounding officials.

Under the guidance of the ceremonial officer, the Xirong mission finally took their seats. The head of the Wusiam tribe, Han, spoke well. But I couldn't see it. It's really a great honor to finally see you today."

Yan Muyun used to be an envoy of the Ministry of Rites to various tribes in Xirong, met the previous head of the Wusiam tribe a few times, received courteous reception from the royal court, and was considered a celebrity in Xirong.Now that she is a senior scholar, and the official residence is from the first rank, it is really different. Hearing this, she showed a look of nostalgia, and said kindly: "The patriarch is serious, I wonder if your Aji is in good health?"

The head of the Wuxian clan stood up and bowed slightly, saying: "Thank you for your greetings, everything is fine for my Aji."

Yan Muyun then introduced to her the important ministers who were in charge of the peace talks. Obviously, it was the right choice for Xirong to send the head of the Wusiam clan here. Can communicate well.It's just that the faces of the few people she sat down were unhappy, and their brows were tightly frowned, obviously extremely impatient.

Qing Ping sat at the end, and it was not her turn to speak on this occasion. As the accompanying official of County Chief Sun, she got a seat at the end.She sat and watched the purple figure get up, say something and then sit down again. The distance was too far to see clearly.She sat in a daze, bored, counting the fruits on the fruit plate in front of her, and suddenly met the eyes of the person opposite.

The man was dressed very plainly, the crescent-white robe was different from that worn by the head of Wu Siam and several envoys, only a few gold ornaments were hung for decoration.The man's eyes were blue, his nose was straight and his eyes were deep, and he was holding a wine glass in his hand, staring at her without moving.

Qing Ping smiled warmly with her, lowered her head, vaguely felt that this person looked familiar, she raised her head and took another look, and suddenly remembered that this is not the foreigner she met during the heavy rain that day, why is she also in the Xirong mission?

She had a bad feeling in her heart, the woman smiled slightly, and saluted her from afar with a wine glass in her hand, Qingping had no choice but to pay back, it was really not a good thing that the visitor had a special status.

One of the Xirong people glanced at this side calmly, but looked away for a moment.Although the atmosphere at the banquet was stalemate, it was considered to have eased slightly.When the etiquette officer announced with a trembling voice that Yun Cejun Zhou Gan led his men to come, the atmosphere at the banquet suddenly changed.

Zhou Gan led the army to fight with Xirong for several years. If Mu Yun is famous in Xirong, then Zhou Gan is the confidant of Xirong's military. It can be said that he is a well-known enemy general, which can stop children from crying at night.Since she defeated Sufan, the main force of Xirong three years ago, she has added a new dimension to her terrifying rumors.

This heroic female marshal came wearing silver armor and didn't wear a weapon on her body. She just glanced at the Xirong seat and cut the momentum of the Xirong mission to pieces. The Siam chief couldn't hold back his smile, his face was pale and he didn't know what to say.When Zhou Qian was young, he fought his way out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. Just a look in his eyes made people shudder.Although she is a bit old and her temples are a bit gray, she wears heavy armor but her waist is straight, and her hands are resting on her waist, which is a common movement for a person who is accustomed to using a sword. Even if the weapon is not on her waist at this time, But it still gave people a feeling that they were about to wave their sword and calmly cut down Sen Leng of the Xirong Mission.The rest of the people had heard about this person from their elders, and now seeing this person, they were inevitably afraid, so they restrained their arrogance and lowered their heads not daring to look her in the eyes.

Zhou Gan clasped his fists to salute, Yan Muyun avoided her salute.Zhou Qian turned to Chu Jun and said, "His Royal Highness, I haven't seen you for a long time. I wonder how His Highness is doing in the Fifth Army?"

Chu Jun met her eyes, smiled slightly, and said: "Marshal Lao is missing, everything is fine."

Zhou Gan said happily: "The old minister is relieved. When I first heard that His Highness was going to supervise the army, I was worried that you would not adapt to it. The Fifth Army is used to being loose. Your Highness must have worked hard."

Chu Jun's eyes were flat, he just smiled politely, and didn't speak anymore.

The atmosphere in the field changed drastically after Zhou Gan entered the table. The Xirong Mission was crushed by her. The head of the Wusiam clan wanted to take advantage of the harmonious atmosphere to propose peace talks. Now that Zhou Gan is here, what she said was quite unreasonable. Difficulties, especially when it comes to Yuehe's ownership, Zhou Gan frowned, and slowly clenched his hands on the case.She naturally watched this action, and only finished talking intermittently about Wang Ting's request for peace talks. The sweat poured down from her words, and half of her collar was wet, and she didn't look like she was talking and laughing just now.

Immediately, an envoy presented the documents from the Xirong Mission and placed them in front of the case of several adults. Yan Muyun could tell at a glance that this was a peace talk, but it was no different from Ming Qiang.If Yuehe gave way, wouldn't Xirong be Chen Bing at the Ning Pass, so pressing every step of the way, it really doesn't seem to be sincere, it seems to be provocative.

She knew that if she continued to indulge, there would definitely be trouble today.He hurriedly said to the crowd: "It's not easy for the envoys from Xirong to come here. There are many things to do today, so it's better to come back tomorrow, and we need to go back and discuss the conditions proposed by your envoy. We will discuss this matter with your envoy at that time. "

The head of the Wusiam clan also secretly heaved a sigh of relief, took advantage of this step to go down the slope, and led a group of people away with their tails between their legs.When the last person left, he glanced sideways at where Qingping was, his eyes were unpredictable.

After the banquet was over, Qingping also followed Sun Congshan back to Anping government office.

At night, Yan Muyun, a senior scholar in charge of the peace talks in the Anping Pavilion, was frowning. The documents for the peace talks were spread out under the oil lamp, and she said wearily: "What are the people of Xirong going to do? Into the gold account."

A person beside her said: "Your Excellency, I don't know. Marshal Zhou will be retiring from the Yunce Army in a few years. This is a customary rule. Presumably Xi Rong also found out the news, otherwise he would not dare to be so presumptuous."

Yan Muyun said in a low voice: "I understand what Zhou Gan is thinking, but he just wants to beat Xi Rong so hard that he can't lift his head up." She sighed deeply, "Don't she understand that there was something wrong three years ago? This opportunity was wasted in vain. There will never be such a good opportunity again, as long as Xirong is given a breather, I am afraid that this wolf will come and bite people everywhere."

"It's a pity." The humane said, "But at that time, His Majesty personally issued the edict, even if she wanted to, she couldn't openly disobey the order."

Yan Muyun was silent for a moment, and said quietly: "Your Majesty..., it is a sacred order, Zhou Gan has long been impatient."

The man said in a low voice: "My lord, think about the Master Qin who came with you this time, I'm afraid she might be a bit difficult..."

Yan Muyun seemed to have heard something disgusting, her face darkened, her voice was low, and the anger and contempt in it were particularly obvious: "Oh, it's just a dog of the Yan Party... really think I don't Do you know her thoughts? I'm afraid she just wants to take advantage of this peace talks to benefit the Lord!"

"It's just that King Yue is behind her. The current situation is really uncertain. An adult can't take risks easily, and offending a gentleman can't offend such a villain. A villain is like a vicious dog, and he can always drag him around."

Yan Muyun didn't say a word, just under the lamp, he read the agreement book over and over again many times.

Tonight, the wind is clear and the moon is bright, and every household in the ancient city has already fallen asleep.But your lords' house welcomed a rare late-night visitor who came and left by the moonlight. They really can be called elegant people, but it makes the adults even more troubled.

A house on the outskirts of the ancient city quietly opened the door under the cover of night. Chu Jun sat in the courtyard with a soft carpet on the floor. There were wine and food on the small table, and she opened the middle door to welcome all the distinguished guests. The crescent white gown, walking in the frosty silver light, seemed to be shining slightly at the edge of the skirt. She stood still and said to the man: "It is rumored that there is a noble person accompanying the mission. It turns out that it is the envoy of Bishu."

After Bi Shu sat down, he picked up the wine cup and drank for himself very naturally, and said, "I don't know why your Highness invited me here late at night?"

The small golden cup flexibly rotated at her fingertips, and her sleeves slipped off, revealing the intricate and delicate tattoos on her wrists. Chu Jun only took a look and said, "Of course it's an exchange with the envoy."

Bi Shu is the person with the highest status in the Golden Tent. The Golden Tent is a symbol of Xirong's theocracy. Its responsibilities cover a wide range. The most important thing is to select the leaders of the various clans in the Xirong King's Court. This is how the so-called Golden Tent King's Court comes from. Yes, the order before and after the names reflects the subordination of each other.However, since the Golden Tent was breached by the Yunce army, the Wangting forces have been stabilizing the Golden Tent, but in recent years the various clans have fought fiercely, which gave the Golden Tent a chance to make a comeback.

Bi Shudao: "I have seen the daughter of King Chenliu of your country, she is somewhat similar to the one born to you."

Chu Jun leaned on the cushion and said, "Uncle, there are naturally some similarities."

The two sat on the ground, the division of areas was very obvious, like ferocious beasts tempting each other at a proper distance, Bi Shu smiled silently, turned his head and said: "The things His Highness wants are not here, if you want them, you have to go to the golden account to get them yourself." .”

She looked at Chu Jun with great interest: "I don't know if the Archmage will give it to you. The Life Pill is an extremely important sacred object. Your Highness should go there in person to show your sincerity."

Chu Jun glanced at her, leaned back and picked up the wine pot and said, "It should be like this."

A strange light flashed in Bi Shu's blue eyes, she casually threw the wine glass aside, and said, "It's just that one more condition must be added to the original promise of His Highness."
