Chapter 889: Ten Thousand Feet of Red Dust
The prince asked people to dig and bury a few large vats outside, so even the slightest footsteps would be amplified more than ten times. After the two exchanged greetings, the guests sat down.
Xinli praised, "Although His Royal Highness's East Palace is simply arranged, the hidden mysteries are even more fascinating! Admire, admire!" The prince knew that he was referring to the fact that the footsteps were amplified.
It seems that he is a careful man, which is very inconsistent with his high nose, big eyes and wide lips. However, since he was six years old, he has already known that people cannot be disguised, and the sea cannot be measured. Of course, he would not have thought that this man from a rough place was just a reckless and empty man. I heard that he is not only familiar with the Central Plains script, but also more familiar with military books and war strategies.
Seeing that Xinli still looked like he had something to say, the prince stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.
"I think that although I have traveled to thousands of mountains and rivers to come to the imperial capital, I still don't understand my own situation. Maybe I'm walking on thin ice, or maybe I'm on the edge of an abyss. However, the reason I still came here was that these were not things that I was afraid of. And arrogance is what got me where I am now. After Xinli finished speaking, he looked at Ming Qi's reaction with a pair of eagle eyes.
"Can this palace say that this palace likes the frankness of the Khan? The palace admits that the purpose of inviting the khan to come is not simple. But I think that the part that I can be sure of Khan will get must be what Khan wants most in all these years. ”
Xinli raised his usual deep gaze, "I like this kind of conversation. Our cooperation, our taking what we need, these are enough. Because I know that the pie in this world never falls from the sky, and everything has to be fought for by yourself. My own experience speaks for itself. ”
"Khan is a more cheerful and straightforward person than I ever imagined. We'll have a good time together. ”
A little maid came to serve tea, and the prince specially instructed them to use milk tea. However, it is also on the normal flower tea.
Xinli also took the flower tea at hand to drink like a prince, and when he saw the prince staring at him, he said with a little explanation, "It's her, I developed such a habit with her when I was a teenager." ”
Of course, the prince knew that the woman in his mouth was referring to his little princess aunt.
"But I've been trying to forget about her. Nobuyo said these words as he lifted his eyes from the teacup.
"It seems that I broke the peace of mind that Khan had worked so hard to maintain for years! ”
"Stop here, is that what you mean?" said Khan, raising an eyebrow, and asked meaningfully.
"Of course not. Just my kind words. The prince also seemed to think that his statement was ridiculous, and he bent it, and the corners of his mouth stretched out slightly.
"In addition to these beautiful words, what I am most pleased about is that we are tacitly aware at this time. Your Highness knows where I come from, and we people there like to go straight, but sometimes, some things, really can't be so reckless, tactful is more presentable. Shinri gave him an approving look. It can be seen from this that he should be different from other Turks, he likes the etiquette of the Central Plains very much, and those military books and war strategies are really not read in vain, and what he understands is just right. The prince thought to himself that he had to be extra careful with everything he said next. If the person in front of you sees a little flaw, then everything falls short, and it is only in the blink of an eye. This is the disadvantage of not knowing a person beforehand, but having to conspire with him in great things.
But he never had a choice.
"Take away my county lord's sister and fulfill the Khan's wish for many years. The prince finally got straight to the point.
"The prince and I are tens of thousands of miles away from Guanshan, but I can know what my obsession is. Then I also want to say what the prince wants. What the prince is really worried about may be more than just lifting the lockdown. A distinct smile appeared on the prince's face.
After Shinri finished speaking, he looked at the prince with his eyes.
The prince greeted him with a slight smile.
The eyes of both sides wrestled in the air.
The prince actually knew what Xinli was looking at. He is testing whether the prince is a trustworthy person, or more importantly, whether he is a person with enough courage than the prince. In the quiet air, it seems to be interspersed with the reincarnation of fate in which thousands of swords and swords are born and overcome each other.
After a long time, Xinli was the first to burst out with an emotional voice, "Your Highness's gaze is very similar to her at that time. Then a gentle smile appeared between his rough eyebrows.
It wasn't until the prince saw him like this that he felt a little more relaxed in his heart. He invited him to come in order to change his predicament and return the confusion that had occurred to a state of tranquility, so that he could continue to have an unassailable advantage in the competition of the royal family, with the support of foreign forces. All because he knew very well how his father wanted to go to the border in peace. If Xinli intends to surrender to Daxian, no matter how much his father dislikes him as a Turk, and there is an old relationship with Daxian, he will also think of Jiangshan Sheji. Moreover, Nobuyo's request to release him, the crown prince, was not excessive.
"My resemblance is just a little inheritance in the blood, what the Khan is about to see, my sister who is the county lord is the real portrait of the little princess aunt!" the prince continued to sigh deeply.
Xinlili came to the imperial capital because of the letter written by the prince to the Turks, the portrait of the princess. But at this time, hearing this statement with my own ears is clearly a completely different feeling from seeing it on paper at that time. It was as if the blood that had been flowing quietly in the veins had been summoned somewhere in the dark, and it was boiling and stirring in an instant. It turns out that although the past has changed, in fact, he is still looking forward to reuniting with her in the red dust. The flowers are in full bloom, and the moon is full of roundness.
Before he came, all his subordinates were speculating that there would be many unforeseen dangers here. But none of them knew that the call of fate never left them in their entirety.
"Where is she?" asked Shinri.
The luster of the flower lanterns scattered on the white porcelain tea cup seemed to become extremely dazzling at that moment. The prince stared at her, "If the Khan had come one step earlier, it would have been very easy to see her." And now it would be troublesome to see her in private. ”
"What do you mean by trouble, is there anyone hindering this matter now?" Shinri's gaze was already showing an unconcealed anxiety.
"My aunt and aunt of the eldest princess have disturbed the palace several times, and my father can't move her, so he has strengthened the control of the masters in the palace. At this time, the guards of Zhongning Palace, where the county lord's cousin was, were as dense as iron buckets. I tried a few times, but I only found a small opportunity to talk to her. ”
Xinli lowered his head and pondered for a moment, "The one you are talking about, your eldest aunt is the eldest princess of Peixing?" the prince sighed, "Exactly!"
A strange expression welled up on Shinri's face after hearing this.
