Return of the Swallow

"Utkin Khan is still radiant, but the courage is much smaller than before. Why, I was shocked by the power of the Dingguo Duke, even if I saw this king?"

This remark was full of provocative meaning. Siqin frowned immediately. Four ministers accompanied Siqin, all of them frowned, and there was even an impatient person who wanted to come forward to theory.

Unexpectedly, Pang Xiao’s words changed, and he laughed again: "Please rest assured that Utkin Khan, our Great Zhou Dynasty has been a country of etiquette since ancient times, and will not do anything reverse. Since we have accepted your Tartar Shushun. It would not take the initiative to provoke any disputes, and it would not take advantage of the Khan and Khan to do whatever they want in our country. So Khan’s fear is really unnecessary."

One sentence clarifies the status of the two countries at this time.

Tatar is Da Zhou's defeated general. Although Siqin is a khan, but he was not the one who was beaten by Ji Zeyu and bowed his head to the court?

He should be frightened. Seeing the war god of the Great Zhou Dynasty, who is as famous as Ji Zeyu, can he not be frightened as a defeated man?

If he still dares to show off his power, don't forget that they are still on the territory of Da Zhou!

Pang Xiao's words made Siqin pale.

The people who accompanied the Great Zhou were happy in their hearts. They secretly praised the words of Prince Zhongshun, and they were really right. They are worthy of being on the battlefield, and even the khan of other countries must be courteous.

If you only make promises in front of the Tatar Khan, wouldn't you lose Da Zhou's face?

Siqin gritted his teeth. He has been a superior person for a long time, and he is used to blurting out something if he doesn't have to worry about someone retorting it. Then he just opened his mouth and mocked.Who would have expected that Pang Zhixi would directly ridicule him at such a time?

Just when everyone in the awkward scene was wondering if Utkin Khan would have a black face directly, Lu Heng smiled and said: "Da Zhou and Tatar are friendly countries, and there is a saying that'If you have friends from afar, you can say no'. The post in the city has been prepared, and the banquet is ready. On the way, the gods are not beautiful. I am tired to come to Khan, Khan, and the ministers. Why should Khan move to the post for a rest?"

After getting down the steps, Siqin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and kept his dignity as a khan with a sullen "um".

Lu Heng turned around and ordered people to open the way, and Pang Xiao gave way to let Siqin and his party enter the city.

Pang Xiao looked at Lu Heng with a smile.

Lu Heng smiled and said, "After all, someone who came from a long distance and bowed his head to proclaim himself. It would not be good if the scene became stiff." The implication was to blame Pang Xiao for speaking too sharply, which almost caused it. Dispute.

Pang Xiao smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, you and I must have a silly face."

It meant that Pang Xiao gave Lu Heng the opportunity to be a good person.

Lu Heng was aflame in his heart, with a gentle and elegant smile on his face, "The prince is really smart, and I admire him."

"Uncle Zhongyi is polite."

The two looked at each other with smiles on each other's faces, but the smiles did not reach the bottom of their eyes, arched their hands at each other, and returned to the car.He walked into the city behind Siqin's carriage.

As for the people who came with the Tatars, Lu Heng arranged extra people to resettle them. Naturally, they would not allow so many Tatars to enter the city together. Most of the Tatars were left to guard the tribute. Only the four Tatar ministers followed. Entered the city gate.

Lu Heng and Pang Xiao sent people to the post, and everyone got out of the car and entered the door one after another according to their identities.

Lu Heng originally wanted to go with Pang Xiao to send Siqin to settle, but Pang Xiao put his hand back and smiled and said, "It's better to ask Uncle Zhongyi. This king is accustomed to being careless, and it won't be good if he accidentally breaks the table, chair and bench. Up."

"The prince has a degree of relaxation, where are these careless people?" Lu Heng smiled, "It seems that the prince is afraid of overwork."

"Where, Uncle Zhongyi has accepted the order, so let's go to the job."

Lu Heng gritted his teeth, his smile on his face became stiffer and stiffer. If it weren’t for him to tear his face with Pang Xiao at this time and let the Tatars read the joke, he was afraid that he was about to sneer at him, and Pang Xiao might have spotted it. He could not refute at this time,

Lu Heng took a deep breath, suppressed his anger with amazing willpower, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, let the prince take a rest here."

Pang Xiao smiled slightly and didn't say much. He took a leisurely look at the unusual scenery around him, as if he was new here for the first time.

Lu Heng walked quickly into the house and greeted Siqin and Ketun with a smile.

It was also at this time that he saw Ke Dun's appearance.

It was a tall, slightly plump young woman with a full moon face. She was not so outstanding, with the arrogance of the Tatar nobles in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

The young Ke Dun looked at Lu Heng curiously. She could understand Da Zhou dialect, but her pronunciation was a little strange, "Are you the head of the Lu family?"

Lu Heng has never seen such a formal occasion where a man speaks before the woman at home speaks.But Tatar women can be khan, not to mention saying something on such occasions.

"Yes. I have seen Ketun."

"Well. You know the rules very well. It's better than that Prince Zhongshun." Ke Dun smiled, "Are you planning to hold a banquet?"

Lu Heng smiled and responded, "Yes."

"Then I won't drink with you. Our women want to drink with women."

Lu Heng smiled, and said: "At the banquet, Zhuo Jing will definitely come back to accompany Ke Dun."

"Zhujing? Your woman? No, no, I want to see a woman from Prince Zhongshun's house." Ke Dun sneered, "The sinner who killed Anari Khan, I want to see with my own eyes what she is. That kind of evildoer!"

Lu Heng was a little speechless when he heard Ketun's way of speaking. He really rarely dealt with women who spoke directly like this.It happened that the other party was a noble codon.Moreover, Utkin Khan had been silently listening to Ke Dun's words, apparently acquiescing to her behavior, and did not mind Qin Yining's appearance at the banquet.

However, how Anari Khan died in the first place, he, Qin Yining and Mu Jinghu know better than anyone else.

Qin Yining has been in the dark for a long time, I am afraid that even Siqin will almost forget the truth.

Lu Heng couldn't bear Qin Yining coming out to suffer.Ke Dun has a noble status, and now he seems to be a proud and ignorant person. He is worried that Qin Yining will be judged by Ke Dun when he comes forward.

"Hui Ke Dun, whether Princess Zhongshun will come and make arrangements again." Although the meaning of refusal was euphemistic, it was clear.

But Ke Dun couldn't hear the meaning of it, "What is the arrangement? At that time, ask your Prince Zhongshun to come with him, let him take her woman, everyone together, and lively. Our khan is here, can't your country let the locals Will the most honorable person come to accompany you?"

This is justified, but it really doesn't give Lu Heng, the official responsible for welcoming him, show any face.

In the eyes of this Ketun, even if Lu Heng is the head of the Lu Family family, even if he is his uncle, his status is not as good as a reckless man who has long lost his military power!

Lu Heng was secretly angry in his heart, but he was used to it a long time ago. He has been dealing with people, and he has seen people with a good temperament, and he will not really be true to an ignorant female stream.

He couldn't lose his demeanor, nor was he sure whether Pang Xiao would be willing to let Qin Yining come, and he couldn't refuse Ke Dun.

Just as he was about to speak tactfully, but Dun was already displeased: "Is my request too excessive?"

Siqin smiled and said: "It's not too much. I think Dazhou and Tatar have become friendly neighbors, but if you can meet such a small request, the loyal and righteous uncle will not refute Ben Khan's face?"

"What's the matter? Khan's words are serious." Lu Heng smiled, but he became alert in his heart.

It seems that even if Ketun spoke without Siqin's instruction, Siqin is quite "interested" in Qin Yining.Why, this man killed Anari Khan, and wanted to see how the woman who accused him had done?

Lu Heng chatted with him for a while before leaving.

When he arrived at the door, he immediately asked Lu Wenru, "Where is Prince Zhongshun?"

"I'm eating tea in front, what's your uncle's order?"

Lu Heng did not answer, and walked forward without saying a word.

Although Pang Xiao didn't bother to entertain Siqin, he couldn't just quit, so he stayed here for the time being, just in case something happened.

Unexpectedly, just after a cup of tea, Lu Heng rushed in. Before he could catch his breath, he said anxiously: "Ke Dun proposed to have a dinner with the princess, but Ute Jinhan did not object."

Hearing this, Pang Xiao slowly put down the tea bowl in his hand.

After a moment of silence, Pang Xiao smiled, "Is that so? It seems that Ke Dun is a cheerful person."

Lu Heng didn’t think that Pang Xiao was talking about this, and he was a little annoyed, “Why are you not worried at all?” Pang Xiao approached and lowered his voice, “The death of Anari Khan that day had nothing to do with the princess. Utjin Khan used The princess has been carrying the black pot for so long, and now she is coming with Xin Ke Dun, clearly showing bad intentions, how can you be so indifferent? Don’t forget, the princess would be tied to the tartary and suffered so much. For whom!"

The smile on Pang Xiao's face completely disappeared, and he sneered: "For anyone, it won't be for you. Uncle Zhongyi, you are so anxious, don't you think it's unnecessary?"

Lu Heng has always been unmoved, his face flushed when he heard the words, his eyes narrowed slightly, "The prince's words are not meant to be understood by the next official."

"is it."

Pang Xiao stood up and walked to Lu Heng with his hands under his shoulder.

He was half a head taller than Lu Heng. The people who crawled in the bloody sea of ​​the dead mountain on the battlefield did not hide the evil spirit on Zhou when he was upset, his eyes were like sharp blades shining in the moonlight, and those who were staring at him would only feel it. The whole body is wary, that is the instinctive reaction when being stared at by a ferocious beast.

There are countless big scenes that Lu Heng has seen, and he is also calm. He is not such a person who cannot help being frightened. At this time, he feels that every hair on his back is standing up.

It's just that in the face of Pang Xiao who was born like this, his arrogance as a son of a family does not allow him to show his timidity. Moreover, they are still rivals in love, showing weakness in front of them, then he will lose completely.

"The prince is better not to talk nonsense. Feel free to slander my colleagues, I can go to the sacred to read a copy of you."

Pan Xiao laughed suddenly, and the laughter spread far away, making Lu Wenru, Hu Zi and others outside the house couldn't help but look back inside.

Lu Heng's face became more and more ugly, and he didn't care about any more official accusations, "What do you mean!"
