The first-level Zhaohua Thousand-level Hall

Chapter 184
As soon as Mu Qing said this, the Daqing soldiers on the city were a little stunned.

Miss Xu, anyone in this city now knows who Xu Qingluo is, not to mention the status of the county head entrusted by the emperor, even the undisguised intimacy between Lang Sheng and her is enough to make everyone treat her Can not be ignored.

The soldiers were stunned by Mu Qing's request, but Lang Cheng, who was standing in the center above the city, turned down.

Even though Mu Qing didn't embarrass Xu Qingluo before, it was he who suggested that Xu Qingluo deal with the eldest prince.

It will also indirectly happen that Xu Qingluo was seriously injured when Lang Sheng and Gong Ziyan clashed later.

Regardless of whether Mu Qing was sincerely negotiating peace or pretending to make excuses, Lang Sheng didn't have a good impression of him.

Xu Qingluo is recovering from serious injuries now, and there are still people sent by the emperor in the capital standing on the top of the city. No matter what, Xu Qingluo cannot be allowed to face these.

"If you really want to negotiate a peace, we can agree on a safe place for formal negotiations, and you can also submit your credentials. As for the person you want to meet, she is my fiancée, but she is also someone who has nothing to do with this war. Your Excellency may be disappointed."

Even though Lang Sheng didn't directly say that it was impossible for Xu Qingluo to see Mu Qing, he still made his meaning clear.

The Mobei soldiers behind Mu Qing seemed to be dissatisfied with Lang Cheng's refusal, and they started making noises, some even waved their weapons continuously, and the atmosphere was inexplicably tense.

The Daqing soldiers above the border city couldn't help but tense their bowstrings.

The people sent by the emperor became a little scared, and he whispered to Lang Cheng: "General Lang, the overall situation is the most important thing, I just asked the county magistrate to come out and have a look, the county magistrate has received His Majesty's great favor, and he is willing to repay His Majesty Long Well, those who work hard for the peace of the Western Regions in Daqing Yu, peace is the most important thing."

Not only persuasion, but even some warnings, most of the officials in the Daqing court, except for those generals, are actually more inclined to negotiate peace, in short, they just don't want to fight.

To them, the countries of the Western Regions that invade the borders from time to time just kill a few people at the borders occasionally, and leave after the autumn wind blows. They are not a big threat, but the soldiers of the Western Regions are all brave and good at fighting, but they are indeed let People are hard to be safe, and therefore, when Mu Qing proposed to come to discuss peace, and brought the strong Mobei soldiers to the city, the envoy sent by the emperor was more willing to let Xu Qingluo come for a try.

Lang Cheng suddenly turned his head and glanced at the envoy, his eyes were extremely cold, which made the envoy of the capital who thought his proposal was very good feel cold in his heart, and couldn't help taking a step back: "General Lang, I, I This is all for the good of my Daqing, and the good of the people here. The prince of Mobei wants to make peace, why can’t we take this olive branch? Are you going to put the lives of many people and soldiers at the border for a woman? "

The envoy looked at Lang Cheng because of his shyness and shame, and after a moment of fear, his eyes turned into anger, and then he put the big hat on Lang Cheng's head unceremoniously: "If it's true If the peace negotiation is successful, not to mention just asking the county magistrate to come out for a meeting, even if you want the county magistrate and our lives, that is what you deserve!"

He should never have said anything that cost Xu Qingluo's life.

The scene that happened more than ten years ago is still deeply rooted in Lang Sheng's mind. During this period of time, he seemed to be peaceful and peaceful with Xu Qingluo, and seemed to have forgotten that the other party almost died. Well, the envoy's words were clearly poking at his weakness.

Lang Sheng pressed his hand to his waist, where was a long sword.

The envoy didn't notice the vague murderous intent in Langcheng's eyes, and kept chattering about making Xu Qingluo sacrifice her, and even ordered someone to invite Xu Qingluo.

With an extremely slight clanking sound, Lang Sheng's thumb pushed away the edge of the sword a little.

After Mu Qing told Xu Qingluo to come and see him, he never spoke again. Whether it was the commotion behind him or the tense bowstring above the city, he seemed not to be affected in the slightest. It's not like a human being to be calm and calm.

It's just that if you stand in front of him and look carefully, you can still notice a little difference. When Lang Sheng and the envoys in the city are confronting each other, the corners of his lips curled into an extremely slight arc. The brows slightly raised.

It looked like a good show.

Seeing that Lang Sheng was about to lose control, a slender and beautiful hand held down his hand, and the wide sleeves blocked the light of the long sword's sheath.

"How did you come!"

Lang Cheng frowned, looking at Xu Qingluo who suddenly appeared on the top of the city and in front of him, he wished to throw her back where she came from, and at the same time stared fiercely at Xu Qingluo who was beside Xu Qingluo Nangong Mo.

Nangong Mo showed a wry smile, and raised his hand in surrender to Lang Cheng's cruel eyes, which was an act of showing weakness and apologizing.

He was also helplessly coerced.

Lang Sheng couldn't stop Xu Qingluo from doing anything, but now he wished that he could stop him.

After Xu Qingluo made sure that the unsheathed sword was completely retracted, she held Lang Sheng's hand with her backhand. The man's hand was very cold. She firmly held his hand and took a step forward, standing squarely in front of the tower. Facing the thousands of troops below, as well as Mu Qing, who stood at the front and smiled meaningfully when she saw her appear, he paused every word: "Since the Second Highness wants to make peace, the little girl Why can't I show up to get together with the Second Highness? I just hope that the Second Highness doesn't think that the little girl is soft-spoken, so just trick the little girl."

Xu Qingluo's voice was still very hoarse. Even if she didn't speak out of her throat on purpose, but just spoke in a normal voice, she still felt severe pain in her throat.

Xu Qingluo's voice was not loud, but he could hear clearly when the surrounding was extremely quiet and only the wind was circling.

Mu Qing frowned, a little surprised at the change in Xu Qingluo's voice, Lang Cheng had already opened his mouth before he did anything.

"Luo'er has come now, Mu Qing, if you have anything to say, you can say it now. If you really want to make peace, I am naturally not a person who likes war."

Lang Cheng looked at Xu Qingluo worriedly, and he didn't let her go back after all, just like the meaning expressed in Nangong Mo's eyes, Lang Sheng couldn't stop what Xu Qingluo had decided.

The envoys next to him were somewhat dissatisfied with Lang Sheng and Xu Qingluo's attitude, especially Lang Cheng's tone: "General Lang, the Second Highness of Mobei Kingdom came here today to discuss peace, and he came with a good heart. Anyway, you can't have such an attitude. Also, the peace negotiation is a very important matter. General Lang, although you are a first-rank general, you are only a military commander, but you can't stand in place of the court. Today's matter needs to be reported to the Holy Majesty."

While wanting to negotiate a peace, at the same time trying hard to suppress Lang Sheng.

Several lieutenants around Lang Sheng showed dissatisfaction on their faces.

However, Lang Sheng's face remained unchanged, he just held Xu Qingluo's hand tightly. No matter what Mu Qing's purpose was, he would never let Xu Qingluo face it alone.

"General Lang, I really came here today with great good intentions. You don't have to be so vigilant. It's just that I and Miss Xu agreed on the peace negotiation. If it's convenient, I'm willing to go with you twenty miles to the north. Ms. Xu, talk about what we said earlier, after all, Ms. Xu, you have done what you promised me, so I can't keep my word, can I?"

The envoy and many other people looked at Xu Qingluo's eyes, which were somewhat different. If they were carefully distinguished, it was vigilance and a trace of suspicion.

"Luo'er did tell me your sincerity in wanting to negotiate peace. After all, she has a different relationship with me. It's just that there is no written agreement, only verbal words. Now that your Excellency has come with a large army, I have to tell you Be vigilant, but since you really want to talk, although I can't make the decision, I can have a good discussion with you, twenty miles to the north, see you there."

Lang Sheng deliberately and loudly said such words, the meaning in the words was clear, no matter what agreement Xu Qingluo had with Mu Qing, it was his meaning.

The envoy cast suspicious eyes on Lang Cheng, but the eyes of the surrounding soldiers turned eager.

For them, whether Lang Sheng wanted to fight or make peace, they would support him.

For many years at the border, for these soldiers who have been struggling on the edge of life and death, compared to the far away and high court, Lang who has protected them time and time again, led them to victory, and protected the tranquility of this border city. Sheng is the person most worthy of their trust and following.

Mu Qing took a deep look at Lang Cheng, and suddenly understood why Xu Qingluo was so focused on this man.

He didn't believe that Lang Sheng didn't know what the best choice was now, with the envoys in the capital by his side, under the watchful eyes of everyone.

But Lang Sheng took all the hidden dangers on himself without hesitation.

"Okay, twenty miles to the north, each person is only allowed to bring up to twenty entourages, and I will wait there in advance, General Lang, Miss Xu, it's time for us to have a good and honest talk, the last time Miss Xu asked There is one thing that I will hand over to you there.”

Mu Qing smiled at the top of the city for the last time, and then waved her hands. The army at the back changed into the army at the front, and the army at the front changed to the army at the back, protecting the men and exiting under the city in an orderly manner.

The smoke and dust in the distance stirred up, and the envoy couldn't help but speak out first, his expression was a little unfriendly: "General Lang, the second prince of Mobei said he was negotiating peace, but he had something in his words. I hope you can give me a reasonable solution." Explain, otherwise, I can only write a letter to His Majesty, so that His Majesty can judge whether General Lang is loyal or traitor!"

The other party cupped their hands in the direction of the capital, and looked at Lang Sheng with a haughty and contemptuous look.

Lang Sheng didn't feel any better, the soldiers around him were already dissatisfied: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"The general is loyal to the imperial court, and this time he hurt the people of Mobei even though he was seriously injured. If he colludes with the people of Mobei, then the whole city, including you, will be unclean!"

"You are bold!"

The envoy roared angrily, stretched out his hand and pulled out the decorative long sword around his waist, and chopped off at the soldier behind who argued: "I am an envoy personally appointed by His Majesty, and I am here to represent the imperial court. How dare you question the meaning of this envoy, it seems that you are not necessarily a spy of Mobei!"

The envoy is a civil servant, how can he cut down the soldier, he can't see it with a sword, he ordered to the attendant behind him: "Don't take down this Mobei spy!"

The attendant behind him pulled out his weapon and rushed towards the soldier.

The next moment, there were a few clanging sounds of weapons falling to the ground, and the three attendants grunted miserably, and took two steps back while clutching a bloody wrist. Their weapons were on the ground.

"You, Lang Sheng, do you want to rebel too?"

The envoy pointed to Lang Cheng who had drawn his long sword: "There are so many strange things going on today, what kind of peace negotiation, I guess it's some kind of private agreement that the Prince of Mobei wants to reach with you, come, come quickly, let this traitor Take it down!"

It's so hateful for a loyal minister to become a traitor with a flip of his lips.

The surrounding soldiers moved, but they came towards the envoy's side. The expressions of the injured servants changed, and they couldn't help but want to remind the envoy who was still clamoring.

Xu Qingluo, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke out: "Master Li is insane and talking nonsense. It may be that his mind has been damaged by the war. The county magistrate will report to His Majesty in person. Come, don't let Master Li do it again." Stay here, take it down, and take good care of it."

Xu Qingluo smiled at the dumbfounded envoy, his smile was extremely beautiful, but in his eyes, there was treachery and cruelty.

"More than half of my position as the county head was obtained by relying on medical skills. Don't worry, Lord Li, even His Majesty agrees with my medical skills. I will try my best to heal you. At least when I arrive in the capital, I won't make you unconscious. don't know anything about—"

The envoy's eyes widened, and his eyes were full of horror: "How dare you, with so many people here, you dare to openly frame them."

Xu Qingluo pierced the envoy's neck with a silver needle, his movements were as fast as lightning.

The envoy covered his neck and opened his mouth to shout, but he couldn't make a sound.

He turned his head and looked at the soldiers around him and his attendants, screaming, wanting someone to stand up for him, but in the past, these humble soldiers who he looked down upon, now, facing him asking for help, threatened eyes, unmoved.

Some turned their heads to the side, some gave him a pooh bitterly, some sneered, and more eyes were empty, turning a blind eye.

Just now, Mr. Li opened his mouth and shut his mouth, flipping his lips, and said that Lang Sheng was a traitor, and he was going to be escorted. Everyone witnessed and heard it on the spot, and their hearts were full of resentment. What Xu Qingluo said and did, They looked at it, feeling a big sigh of relief in their hearts.

At this time, it would be nice not to go forward and throw stones at Mr. Li, so why not help?Just kidding.

Master Li's attendants also lowered their heads and retreated. The current situation is obvious. If they do something that angers Lang Sheng again, the lives of the envoys are guaranteed, but they will not even keep their lives.

Master Li's eyes were full of disbelief, full of hatred for being betrayed, and then he turned his head and saw Lang Cheng who was standing there silently all this time, thinking of Lang Cheng's foolish loyalty in the past, and his love for him. His politeness, his eyes lit up, and he stepped forward to grab Lang Sheng's hand.

He wanted to say that he knew he was wrong, that he would not talk nonsense when he returned to the capital, and would definitely help Lang Sheng speak well in front of the emperor.

In his heart, he was thinking about revenge, thinking about ruthless revenge.

Lang Sheng raised the long sword in his hand and pointed at Master Li's chest, Master Li couldn't move.

"Lord Li is indeed out of his mind and overly frightened. He needs to rest and recuperate. Come here."

When Lang Sheng opened his mouth, the people around him didn't hesitate any longer. Two soldiers came out, grabbed Master Li's arms, and pressed him down to the bottom of the city.

Amid Master Li's screams, Lang Sheng stretched out his hand and pulled Xu Qingluo into his arms: "Your throat injury hasn't fully healed yet, it's not worth it to force yourself to speak for such a person, leave it all to me." That's fine."

As he spoke, he winked at Nangong Mo who was watching the play next to him, telling him to take Xu Qingluo away.

As for the twenty-mile appointment, Lang Sheng planned to go there, but he didn't plan to take Xu Qingluo with him.

It is naturally better to be able to sign a peace treaty. He is like a fish in water on the battlefield. The battlefield has given him honor, status and glory, but this does not mean that he likes war.

If Mu Qing really has other thoughts, then if he wants to fight, he will fight!
In any case, he would not let Xu Qingluo take any more risks.

"I have nothing to do, and Mu Qing also said that I should go—"

Xu Qingluo wanted to say that she was fine, but she still remembered the last sentence Mu Qing left.

Yes, after that simple agreement, Mu Qing gave her some things she wanted to know according to her request, such as the situation of the different sect, such as some information about Chongzhi and Gongziyan.

But there was still something he hadn't given her.

The same is the concrete evidence of the collusion between the crown prince and the eldest prince. If there is, it is good, and if there is no, it will make her unable to deal with the crown prince.

The other thing was something that Xu Qingluo couldn't give up, and that was where the worms were.

The Ice Absolute Territory mentioned in the somewhat broken tome.

The book says that the Ice Absolute Territory is located in the Western Regions.

But exactly where and where, Xu Qingluo searched all over ancient books and atlases of the Western Regions, and even found many more detailed maps from Lang Sheng, but he still couldn't determine the location of the so-called Absolute Ice Territory .

Xu Qingluo already had some clues about the insect poison, at least she helped Lang Cheng suppress most of the cold poison, even Nangong Mo couldn't help but marvel at her method.

But after all, there are some differences, such as the source of insects.

Xu Qingluo needs to find out the source of the worms, and find the real worms, so that he can truly verify the method of completely removing the poison in his heart.

As for Mu Qing, Xu Qingluo didn't think that if she didn't go today, the other party would tell Lang Sheng what she wanted to know.

Xu Qingluo somewhat understood that person's temperament.

It's just that Xu Qingluo's desire to go together is strong, but Lang Sheng's desire to stop him is not weak.

Before Xu Qingluo wanted to say anything else, Lang Sheng stretched out his hands to hold Xu Qingluo's shoulders with compulsion, and then turned her body around. Xu Qingluo's body went numb, and she had already been sent to Nangong In front of ink.

"Look at her carefully. Mu Qing doesn't know what the purpose is. I don't trust her."

Nangong Mo nodded to Lang Sheng to promise that he would keep an eye on Xu Qingluo.

Just: "Are you really going to bring twenty people there? What if it's a trap?"

"It's only half the chance. The other half may be that he really wants to negotiate a peace. Although we have won this time, the border war has been fought for many years, and countless soldiers have been killed or injured. No matter what, I want to do my best."

Lang Sheng smiled, facing Xu Qingluo's discontented eyes, reached out and gently wiped off a little dust on the other's cheek: "I am the commander in chief of the border gate, a general personally appointed by the imperial court, and I am the one who met Mu Qing." responsibility, and you, you just need to be good, and I will be good."

-

Lang Sheng had twenty guards behind him, all of them were masters.

He didn't prepare anything, and he did what he decided quickly, so it was only a little over half an hour before Mu Qing left with the people.

"General, if the situation changes, please send a signal, and I will definitely be there immediately. Don't let those Mobei people get cheap!"

Feitian stayed in the city. After all, he was Lang Sheng's most trusted subordinate, and there must always be someone in charge here.

"Take good care of Luo'er, don't let her come looking for you."

The only thing Langsheng was worried about was Xu Qingluo's own safety, but he was not so worried.

Lang Sheng felt that he had made a good arrangement, and also thought that Xu Qingluo was very stubborn, but the only thing he didn't expect was that there would be some people who would be persuaded by Xu Qingluo.

"Serena, thank you for your help."

Xu Qingluo just walked out of the city gate with people led by Lang Cheng, and went out with Lang Wei wearing a suit of armor while the city gate was not closed immediately.

If it was someone else, it would not be so easy to say and follow, but Lang Wei's identity was different, he was Lang Sheng's younger brother, and if he said he was worried about his elder brother, naturally no one would make things difficult for him.

Instead, he told him that if something went wrong, he would help Lang Sheng find reinforcements as soon as possible.

"Sister Xu, I don't know whether what I did this time was right or wrong."

Langwei smiled helplessly, looked at Xu Qingluo, and said so.

"What you did was right, because if something happens to your elder brother, I won't live alone. Instead of waiting in the city for a moment, I'd rather be by his side."

Xu Qingluo patted Langwei's shoulder, with a gentle smile on his lips, he said firmly.

Langwei stared blankly at the determination and expression in Xu Qingluo's eyes, then slowly pursed his lips, and there was no more hesitation or hesitation in his eyes: "Sister Xu, I will wait for you and elder brother nearby." .”

If something really happened, he might still have a chance to move in for rescue.

From a distance, Lang Cheng saw a dozen figures in front of a dilapidated stone pavilion, and heard the sound of horseshoes behind him. He turned his head, his expression froze instantly, and he opened his mouth to say something, to reprimand him, but facing Xu Qingluo's bright smile made him unable to utter a word at all.

Sighing in frustration, the only thing Langsheng could do was to stop, stand where he was, and wait for Xu Qingluo to come forward.

Now that he has come and followed here, Lang Sheng can only let Xu Qingluo stay by his side to feel at ease.

Mu Qing narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at the pair of Biren who accompanied her.

Thinking of something, I smiled.
