Concubine all over the world

Chapter 81
"Perhaps the prince knows that this princess has a very close relationship with the Generalissimo Huabao and General Han Feng who guarded the Jinliao border. Naturally, Huabao and the little prince often communicate with each other. Now, Han Feng has disappeared in Suimo for no reason. , how can the princess not be in a hurry?"

Hua Man'er talked eloquently, straight to the point, and went straight to the point.

"The prince has always been upright and righteous, so he is naturally trustworthy. Therefore, I am in a hurry to find the prince and inquire about the situation. Does your majesty have an order to find and rescue Han Feng?"

Xia Zikai said: "Han Feng's accident happened, His Majesty is naturally worried. However, there is still no conclusion on whether to fight or not. Your Majesty will need some time to think about it."

"Well," Hua Man'er nodded slightly, "Understood, after all, I'm not in a hurry. He needs a while, and he just wants to wait and see what happens. First, let's see if Maya makes any further moves. Second, if he wants to talk about peace, he also needs to Find a suitable envoy to go to the Western Regions."

"That's the reason," Xia Zikai no longer hid it when Hua Man'er pointed it out, "My king and Prime Minister Fu tend to settle their disputes through peaceful talks, and the person we like the most is Her Royal Highness. .It's just... Now that His Majesty has broken up with the princess, you are not allowed to mention the name of the princess, so we have to take it easy if we want to propose."

Hua Zehao immediately objected: "No! The king disagrees. The King of Xiang only thinks about the court, but he has thought about his sister. Now, she is so weak, how can she leave? Even if she leaves, the Jinliao border is so dangerous. If something unexpected happens, this king will not live."

"Hao'er," Hua Man'er gave him a cold look and scolded him lightly, "don't say such bastard words. Even if my sister dies, you have to live well. Besides, whoever says I will be in trouble ? This princess has a very hard life. It’s not that she has never been to the battlefield, but she has died before, so don’t talk about bad luck first.”

The King of Xiang was overjoyed: "Listening to what the princess said, do you agree to go to the Western Regions? Maya appreciates the princess and has a good relationship with the princess. It would be great if the princess can go. As long as the princess goes out, there will be no talk. peace treaty."

"The king of Xiang has won the award. How can this princess have such extraordinary abilities?" Hua Man'er smiled frivolously, "However, there is no one who doesn't like compliments. I'm very happy when the prince said that. It's just that This princess has such thoughts, and she is still the same as you, so I can't say it clearly."

"Why?" Xia Zikai asked in confusion.

Hua Man'er's face suddenly became solemn: "I have been separated from Maya for many days, I don't know how much friendship he still has with this princess? If he has the most important thing in his heart, then what difference does it make if I go with others? Besides, since your majesty told you But if you don’t mention me again, you probably won’t agree to my appointment as an envoy. How can you agree if you are as arrogant as him if you are forced to do so?”

Xia Zikai sighed: "It makes sense. So what should we do now? Should we continue to wait? Wait for His Majesty to make a decision, or wait for Maya to take further action?"

Hua Man'er shook her head lightly: "Neither. Continue to wait, we can wait, Han Feng can't wait. I'm really worried about Han Feng's safety. Besides, it's not a big deal that the Jinliao border continues to be so noisy. It's been a long time, If the imperial court does not act, the people will look down on the imperial court, and Maya will become more unscrupulous, and will invade the barbarians even more."

Xia Zikai suddenly smiled brightly, shook the ivory fan in his hand, and said to himself, "I understand. The princess has specially invited me here, so I must have already made up my mind. Since I have, it doesn't matter, as long as the peace talks can be successful." , I will definitely serve you with all my heart.”

Hua Man'er praised: "As expected of the King of Xiang, you are really smart. That's right, this princess does have an idea, and wants to discuss it with the King of Xiang and get the help of the King of Xiang."

"Please tell me." Xia Zikai said freely.

Hua Man'er concentrated on thinking far away: "Don't lie to the King of Xiang. After hearing this, this princess is determined to serve the people of the world. Although I have had an unpleasant quarrel with Your Majesty, I don't want the world to be in turmoil again. Now, Han Feng's whereabouts are unknown again. My heart I am very worried. Therefore, I want to go to the border of Jinliao, far away from the sad place of Yidu. If I can find Han Feng and contribute a little to peace, it will kill three birds with one stone."

Xia Zikai nodded and said, "That's right! The princess's mind is exactly what the king wants."

"However, in order to facilitate this matter and make the peace agreement come to an end, it is not appropriate for me to be wishful thinking this time. At that time, Maya had already refused the peace talks. This time, when General Han disappeared, it would be too much for us to take the initiative to propose peace talks. Throw me a barbarian face." Hua Man'er said quietly.

"That's right, the princess is really insightful." Xia Zikai praised highly.

However, Hua Man'er ignored this kind of praise, and just continued to analyze calmly and calmly: "So, it is best for Maya to take the initiative to bring up the old matter, and it is also best for him to take the initiative to let me be the envoy." , Sign an agreement with him to supervise the water conservancy. If he proposes, then His Majesty will not be entangled, and you can also advise me. Once I go, the agreement can be signed smoothly."

Xia Zikai fell into deep thought: "Indeed, this is the most perfect idea. But, how to make Maya take the initiative?"

"This is the reason why this princess brought you together to discuss." Hua Man'er said loudly, "Prince Xiang, I will tell you my heart, so that you can have confidence in your heart when you express your love to His Majesty. On the one hand, this princess intends to send a letter to Maya privately in the name of the barbarian princess, asking about the whereabouts of the savior Han Feng, telling me about my situation, and expressing my wish for peace, and then seeing his reaction before making plans. If he brings up the agreement again, that would be the best, and I can go to Saca along the way."

King Xiang said: "Very well, it's prudent to have a letter to find out first."

"Well, this is issued in my personal name. Therefore, no matter what the result is, it will not damage the face of the court. However, I must bring you together, especially to invite the king of Xiang to come to the mansion to testify, so as not to be punished in the future. Someone with a heart will use this letter as a mischief and accuse the princess of collaborating with the enemy."

Hua Man'er's peach blossom eyes were clear and filled with a smile.

The king of Xiang sighed: "So that's the case. The princess is really thoughtful. The king said that the princess would not invite the king to the mansion for no reason. But it turns out that the princess has a deep meaning. Hey, it's a pity that after such a traumatic change , the princess still cares about the world, and this kind of heart makes me admire."

Hua Man'er curled her lips slightly, and smiled wryly: "My lord is absurd. This princess is just working hard and has no leisure. I just want to leave Yidu to relax, and it would be a good thing if I can resolve the dispute with Sa country by the way. "

"Hey," Xia Zikai said, "I really don't know what His Majesty thinks, but he doesn't know how to cherish such a good woman as the Princess. It's so sad. How about I go talk to Your Majesty again..."

"No need," Hua Man'er quickly stopped, "If he doesn't cherish me, I won't feel sorry for him. Getting along with people is relative. I've already sent him another letter of divorce. See, he Immediately returned to me an imperial decree."

She twitched the corners of her mouth in misery: "My child was just lost, and he immediately established Shi Yurou's fetus as the crown prince, and also allowed him to be the queen. What can I say for such a reciprocation? I and him In between, grace and righteousness will be cut off, and I will never go back."

After hearing this, King Xiang sighed and stopped talking.

Hua Zehao persuaded: "If you can't go back, you can't go back. If my sister really wants to go to the border to relax, why not let me go with my sister. First, I can protect my sister, and second, I can also bring reinforcements. Just in case we can't agree on the appointment."

"No need," Hua Man'er immediately gave him a sideways glance, "Jinliao has an army of 20 leopards, which is already enough. If the princess can go there, then it is a serious matter to bring some food and grass. As for you, you have more important things to do."

"I, what can I do? By the way, if you want to investigate the Shi family's father and daughter, I can just look at Huaqiu. If there is anything, you can also pass the news to the border." After finally being able to live with my sister, Hua Zehao was unhappy about being separated in a blink of an eye.

Hua Man'er said: "It is indeed possible, but you are almost 11 years old, don't you want to make contributions? King Xiang, I heard that there is a rebellion in Xuandu. If the imperial court wants to send troops, I hope King Xiang and Prime Minister Fu can recommend Hao'er to go. If Hao'er leads the army to make great achievements, and has some prestige, he will naturally have something to do, and he won't be idle all day long."

King Xiang smiled and nodded: "It seems that this king has a lot of missions this trip."

"It's hard work for those who are capable," Hua Man'er said with a smile, "It's precisely because of Wang Ye's ability and character that he wants His help in everything."

"Hahaha——" King Xiang looked up to the sky and laughed.

Hua Man'er only smiled slightly, then stared at Hua Zehao intently, and said: "The Xuanyue people rebelled because they were oppressed first. It's not their fault. So, no matter what the imperial decree is, when you arrive in Xuandu , I should focus on appeasement."

At this time, a guard suddenly rushed in from the outside, holding a letter in his hand and knelt down in front of Hua Zehao in a panic: "Report to my little prince, something is wrong, Jinliao Pass has been broken!"

"What?" Everyone was shocked and stood up in unison.

Hua Zehao quickly took the letter from the guard's hand, unfolded it and browsed it, his expression changed drastically.

He squeezed the letter paper tightly and said to everyone: "Maya suddenly led an army of 20 to attack Jinliao, and Huaqiu retreated to Yuqu. Closed the city gates and did not leave, he sent a letter to the imperial court for help and to send troops for support. Huabao gave us another letter Letter, to inform the details. And said that General Han’s whereabouts are still unknown. I think the emperor brother must have received the news at this moment."

"Hey," King Xiang said anxiously, "How could it be so fast? If His Majesty had acted on his own will, he might not have sued for peace, but would have sent troops to attack."

Hua Qiu said: "According to His Majesty's heart, it really will be like this. Hey, this Maya, who has disturbed the environment for so long, how could he suddenly make such a big move?"

Hua Man'er sat down on the chair slowly, slightly absent-minded.

"The princess played a good game of chess, but she was suddenly disrupted by Maya." The king of Xiang was always calm, but at this moment Hou couldn't help but look anxious.

Hua Man'er comforted: "Prince Xiang, don't be in a hurry, you can go into the palace right away, find out what His Majesty's plans are, and then let you know, go."

"Then I'll take my leave—" King Xiang hurriedly left Xiaoyao Palace and entered the palace.

Hua Zehao looked at King Xiang's back, and suddenly a sneer twitched from the corner of his mouth: "Hmph, that's fine, I just want to teach Brother Huang a lesson like this. He's too proud, and someone needs to have the guts to kill him!"

Hua Man'er's eyes lit up, and she grabbed Hua Zehao's arm and asked anxiously, "Brother, what did you just say?"

"What?" Hua Zehao asked in surprise, "I said to teach Brother Huang a lesson, kill his vigor!"

"Yes! It's the spirit to kill him!" Hua Man'er finally smiled, and said confidently, "I finally understand what Maya means?"

Hua Zehao asked strangely: "What's the point? It's just to attack us barbarians, want to take our land by force, and then give them the country of Sa!"

"No! That's not his intention!" Hua Man'er affirmed, "His intention was just to kill Li Muhan's spirit."

Huaqiu asked in confusion, "What do you mean by that?"

Hua Man'er said: "Hao'er, General Hua, think about it, don't you think there are many doubts here? If Maya really wants to attack the barbarians, he has been back for so long, why is he just letting Princess Chi Yan play around?" , and he did not take any real action. After Han Feng disappeared, he did not attack immediately, but now he suddenly attacked? Why is it this time?"

"This..." Hua Zehao fell into deep thought.

"The strangest thing is not Maya, but the leopard. Jinliao has the formation protection taught by Han Feng, so it is reasonable to not break through it so quickly. Even if the two armies face each other, with the 20 troops at the border, they can at least resist one or two Yue, how come there was no movement two days ago, and the city will be breached after two or three days, that's ridiculous." Hua Man'er sneered coldly.

"Yeah, why is that?" Hua Zehao asked.

Hua Man'er sighed faintly, narrowed her peach blossom eyes slightly, and supported Shui Lian to stand up: "It seems that the dew will soon come out. Hao'er, you go to the palace immediately to meet His Majesty, and personally ask His Majesty , let you lead an army of 20 to rescue the leopards in Youqu. If this battle is successful, you, Haoer, at the age of 11, can become famous all over the world."

Hua Zehao smiled wryly: "What is the relationship between the emperor and us, my sister is very clear, how could he let me lead the army to Youqu?"

"Maybe not before, but now the situation is urgent. You are going to help him solve a big problem, and he will agree. Hao'er, you only need to convince him with one reason." Hua Man'er said confidently.

"What reason?" Hua Zehao asked.

Hua Man'er's watery eyes filled with mist, she whispered a few words in Hua Zehao's ear, and then went back to the room.

Therefore, Hua Zehao followed Xia Zikai into the palace.

At that time, it was dusk, and the dusk was in harmony.

The imperial study room was full of court officials. At this time, Xia Zikai had entered the palace and was trying to appease the furious Li Muhan.

"The fight is finally over, isn't it? Maya, if you want to fight, I will fight to the end with you! King Xiang, you don't have to talk about the peace talks, I will never think about it again. Ge Xiong, Lu Zheng, I will give you 20 troops , I will send you to lead the army to Juqu, I do not believe that you will not be able to resist Maya's army. If necessary, I will consider the imperial conquest!"

Li Muhan was still full of momentum, domineering and awe-inspiring.The way he handled it was really simple and rude.He refused to bow his head.

"Brother Huang, can you consider asking Brother Huang to share your worries, go to war for you, wipe out the Sa people for you, and regain the lost land!"

Hua Zehao rushed into the hall and knelt down in front of Li Muhan.

Li Muhan was surprised by Hua Zehao's attitude, and unconsciously extinguished all the anger in his heart.

"You, an 11-year-old kid, want to lead troops to fight!" Li Muhan sneered.

"So what about 11 years old? Your Majesty, we are brothers with the same father and mother. The emperor brother is brave and good at fighting, and I will naturally be no worse. My ministers are willing to share the worries of the emperor brother and drive the Sa people back to their land." Hua Zehao said with emotion.

Li Muhan said: "Really? You...are you capable?"

Hua Zehao said: "Brother Huang doesn't believe in my younger brother's ability, should I believe in my sister's ability, right? My younger brother will take my older sister to set off together."

"Don't mention her!" Li Muhan suddenly became furious again, "I said that no one is allowed to mention her!"

"Your brother knows that His Majesty hates my sister. But no matter how much you hate her, and no one is allowed to mention her, she exists in Yidu and in the Xiaoyao Palace. However, now there is an opportunity to send her to the battlefield and let her take a gamble. Unfortunate death in battle, wouldn't it be an end to brother Huang's concern?" Hua Zehao complained against his will.

Li Muhan fell silent, his icy eyes were as deep as the sea, and his face became very serious.This solemnity is even worse than when I heard Maya's army break Jinliao just now.

"Brother Huang, this is very cost-effective for you. Doesn't he hate us? In case we die in battle, Brother Yu has no loss. But what if my sister persuades Maya to sign an agreement, so that the two countries will benefit each other , is also a very good thing. Your Majesty, please allow me!" Hua Zehao lowered his head and sincerely begged.

Li Muhan narrowed his eyes: "She asked you to invite me to fight, right? All of this was her idea?"

Hua Zehao thought to himself, Brother Huang is not stupid.But his mouth was biting: "No! The younger brother came here by himself, she didn't know! She is recuperating. But because she is recovering from the injury, the younger brother is worried and wants to take her with him. The younger brother I believe that my sister is a lucky star, and she can win battles wherever she goes!"

Li Muhan fell into terrible contemplation.

As soon as he meditated, the air pressure in the entire imperial study room became horribly low.

"Your Majesty," Xia Zikai knew early on that this must be Hua Man'er's idea, so he immediately helped to persuade, "I also think that the princess is a lucky star, and she can win battles wherever she goes, so let her go. Actually , I said before that I want to choose a suitable envoy to negotiate an agreement, and I think the princess is a suitable candidate. Now, the situation is critical, let her go to the battlefield to try, anyway, His Majesty is also trying to get rid of her, isn't it?"

"Yeah, that's a good idea!"

Shi Hongchang, who kept shouting to fight and kill, really waited for the war to come, and suddenly became listless again.At this moment, hearing that Hua Zehao asked to send troops and brought Hua Man'er with him, he supported him instead.

He had a beautiful thought in his heart, if the two brothers and sisters died in battle, then the barbarian world would belong to the father and daughter of the Shi family and the prince in Shi Yirou's belly.

"After all, the princess has fought a big battle. It is her ability to win more with less. Why not let her try. With her to advise the young prince, I believe there will be good news soon. Your majesty please agree."

Ren Xun also seconded Shi Hongchang's request.

Soon, Fu Wenyuan and other ministers also seconded the proposal and asked His Majesty to agree.

Seeing everyone's confidence in Hua Man'er's ability, Hua Zehao couldn't help being proud of his sister.

But he didn't forget his sister's order, and at this critical moment, he made up for it again.

"Brother Huang, you refuse to agree. Is it because you still care about my sister and are jealous of Maya, for fear that Maya will snatch my sister away?"

Hua Zehao stared at Li Muhan, blinking his long and narrow fox eyes, revealing the innocence of a true teenager.

"Who said that?" Li Muhan really rebounded immediately, raised his arrogant chin, and looked at Hua Zehao resentfully, "What a big joke, I would care about your sister. A woman who has been reduced to a commoner by me , a woman I don’t want, Maya can just take it if I want it, am I still afraid of being snatched away? I’m afraid that even Maya won’t want her? Who would want a woman who has already been married? "

He suddenly issued an order: "Okay! You go to Jinliao. Hua Zehao, I will order you to lead an army of 20 to Juqu. If this matter can be resolved satisfactorily, I will make you the general of Zhenxi." ! In addition, Feng...Hua Man'er is appointed as a female envoy to the Western Regions. If I can sign an agreement and come back, I..."

He paused for a moment, and finally failed to say Zi Chou Yinmao.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" Hua Zehao was overjoyed, regardless of the many, he quickly kowtowed for the emperor's grace.

After that, Hua Zehao took the soldier talisman and went out of the palace happily.

Xia Zhikai looked at Hua Zehao's back, full of confidence.I believe that with Huaman'er's carefulness, subtlety and ice-snow intelligence, he will definitely turn things around.

Hua Zehao went back to the palace and told Hua Man'er the good news.

Hua Man'er said: "Well, everything is as I expected. Hao'er, you have to seize this opportunity to make contributions and become famous all over the world, you know? I originally wanted to fight for you to put down the chaos in Xuandu. But the plan always Changes cannot be changed. Now that Maya has launched a war, it is good to go to Yuqu to make contributions.”

Hua Zehao gently hugged Hua Man'er's shaved shoulders, and said with distress: "My sister should take care of herself at this time, but she is so stupid to work so hard for Hao'er and the people of the world! But such a silly sister, Hao'er likes it very much..."

Seven days later, when the food and grass were ready, and the deployment of soldiers and horses was completed, Hua Zehao led the troops with Hua Man'er and set off.

Hua Zehao left everything in the palace to Hua Qiu and Su Huangyu's brother and sister to take care of it.Before leaving, Huaman'er also wrote to Lianxin, asking her to tell Huaqiu directly if she had something to do, and Huaqiu would contact her.

On the tower, Li Muhan stood facing the wind, watching the luxurious and spacious carriage in the army leave.

Let's go and say goodbye, I don't know when we will meet again.

Li Muhan couldn't help feeling sad.

"Your Majesty," Shi Yirou was standing behind him at some point, and said softly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, my sister will return safely. She is so smart, I believe that the dispute between the two countries can be resolved soon."

Li Muhan froze, did not answer, did not look at Shi Yirou, turned around and walked away without looking back.

Shi Yirou stood there in a little embarrassment, the feeling of victory that had been lingering in her heart these days disappeared instantly...

During this journey, because there was no bad news from Youqu, and because of pity for Huaman'er's weak body, the marching speed was slow. From Yidu to Youqu, the horses ran for a full month.

On the way, Hua Zehao showed all his warm and masculine qualities, taking care of Hua Man'er meticulously.

The imperial chef brought out from the palace would still make supplementary meals for Hua Man'er every day, and Shui Lian was also waiting nearby. Therefore, when he approached Youqu a month later, Hua Man'er's body had almost recovered.

However, the little finger after removing the gauze still hurts faintly.Especially when it rains, it is even more sore.

Hua Man'er thought to herself: It's really inappropriate to forcefully pick it up.

So, when it was time for You Qu, she had made up her mind to completely forget about Li Muhan...
