: Marriage

The exquisite boy, wearing a misty moon-white dress, was like a demon in the mountains, instantly repelling all the minds of the Sixth Prince.

"Your Highness." The Hun prince, who was reminded by his subordinates, had just come back to his senses and sat in his seat, but his eyes did not leave the boy opposite him for a moment.

Chen Ziqi was a little unhappy when he was seen. The barbarians were too rude. The eyes of the Huns were lighter than those of the Central Plains. Looking at him so tightly made him feel like he was staring at by a wild wolf.

"Who is he?" The sixth prince pointed at the person opposite with his chin and asked the eunuch who was pouring wine beside him.

"Go back to Your Highness, that is my seventh prince, Prince Jian." The eunuch replied respectfully.

"What's his name?" the Sixth Prince asked very bluntly.

"Prince, the royal family of the Central Plains people cannot ask for their names directly, they should avoid them." The deputy envoy beside him whispered.

As he was speaking, Emperor Tiande came and greeted everyone to start the meal.

The sixth prince looked at Emperor Tiande in the stands, then looked at the boy opposite him, and touched his thick beard. He was also a royal brother, so King Jian was much more beautiful than the emperor.

On the surface, the Huns came to pay tribute. The deputy envoy read out the leather and medicinal materials they offered, three trucks of fur goods and one truck of medicinal materials, which was pitifully few. Emperor Tiande's face looked a little bad, and the prime minister asked for the emperor: "Is this the only tributes of the Huns?

"Your Majesty the Emperor of Dazhang, you also know that this winter came very early this year. There was snow on the grassland in August and you could not hunt at all. These are all we can take out. The food we want to eat in the spring has not yet been settled. I hope Your Majesty can generously give us more food than in previous years." The deputy envoy stood in the center of the hall and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, with no slight begging in his words.

Emperor Tiande lowered his eyes and said nothing. The six princes over there sat on the golden sword, picked up the wine glass to toast Emperor Tiande. The loud voice echoed clearly in the hall, "There are many tribes on the grassland and do not completely obey King Qiulin's orders. If you don't get enough food, the villains on the border may harass the people of Dazhang, which is something King Qiulin doesn't want to see."

Qiulin is the surname of the Xiongnu royal family today. The Xiongnu lived by nomadic life and was divided into many tribes. In the early years, it was still a mess. A hundred years ago, the Qiulin tribe unified the grassland, and all tribes had to obey Qiulin's orders and respect him as kings.

The sixth prince said this clearly as a threat. If he did not give food, he would go to the Dazhang border to burn, kill and loot. Emperor Tiande's face became bad, but he still endured his temper. "I will discuss the matter of food again. Today's big banquet, and drink 300 cups."

He stopped when he saw that he was about to do so. The Sixth Prince stopped talking and raised his glass to Emperor Tiande, but a hint of contempt appeared in his eyes.

Chen Ziqi curled his lips, why is this guy Tiande so cowardly?

After three rounds of wine, the singing and dancing came to an end. The group of Huns looked at each other. The deputy envoys stepped out again and saluted to Emperor Tiande and said, "The Emperor of Dazhang, the old King Qiulin is about to abdicate, and the new King Qiulin is about to ascend the throne. I wonder if Your Majesty can give us a new queen."

This is to have a marriage.

Chen Ziqi frowned slightly. In his early years, Dazhang's country was strong. In order to please Dazhang, the Huns would send the princess into the palace to be a concubine, but now they have to Dazhang's princess to the grassland. This is a huge difference.

Emperor Tiande looked at the Huns' pride and couldn't help feeling a little frustrated. He spoke provocatively: "I don't know which prince inherited the throne. I can choose the princess based on the prince's age."

The sixth prince who was on the mission this time was the son of Queen Qiulin, and he was most likely to inherit the throne. But at the same time, he also had five brave and warlike brothers, the second prince was the first warrior on the grassland, and the third prince was the general of the magic arrow, holding considerable military power. The two of them had a very high status among the Huns and were a great threat to the Sixth Prince.

"It doesn't matter. Now, we must marry my father first. When my father is asleep, this princess will become the next queen." The sixth prince sneered.

"What!" the ministers exclaimed, and the hall was filled with a buzzing discussion.

"This... is simply injustice!" said the prime minister with a shaking beard. People in the Central Plains pay attention to ethics and have never heard of the fact that their father can give their daughter-in-law to their sons when they die. This makes it difficult for a group of officials from a well-known family and who pay attention to benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness to accept it.

Emperor Tiande was choked and could not speak for a long time. He put the wine glass on the table with a slam, "It's not too late to discuss the matter of marriage when the new king ascends the throne."

"Then, can you use this prince for marriage?" said the sixth prince, pointing his thick fingers at Chen Ziqi opposite him, "My desert is open, both men and women can do it."

Chen Ziqi, who was secretly feeding the little red bird in his arms, was stunned and looked up at the sixth prince with greed eyes.

When the Sixth Prince saw Chen Ziqi looking over, he found that he had a pair of fascinating peach blossom eyes, with a faint pink at the end of his eyes, which was very cute, and couldn't help but say more, "This prince is much more beautiful than the princess."

Chen Ziqi grinded his back teeth, and this little braided disciple dared to tease me in public. He narrowed his eyes and smiled: "The Sixth Prince has fallen in love with me, and I am very honored. Although I like delicate women more, I want to try it like the Sixth Prince. Unfortunately, the prince cannot pass on the family line for me, and I am afraid he can only be a concubine."

The Huns were stunned. This meant that the sixth prince was going to marry, how could this happen? The deputy envoy quickly stood up and tried to explain that he wanted the prince to marry, not to marry their prince, but because the Central Plains was not very straightforward, he couldn't explain it clearly when he was anxious.

Emperor Tiande was naturally happy when he saw the Huns being defeated, and he also agreed, "Old Qi, this is your fault. The Sixth Prince is noble, so how can he be the concubine? I am the leader of the Sixth Prince. As for the matter of passing on the clan, I can give it to the concubine."

"Chir!" Chen Ziqi responded with a smile, but the little red bird in his arms stopped working and pecked his chest twice. Chen Ziqi twisted his body and wanted to avoid the pointed little mouth, but the little red bird was still angry and pecked the sensitive little cherry, which almost made him scream.

After being hit by it for a while, Chen Ziqi couldn't help but get up and take his leave, "My brother is not in good health, please forgive me."

The court officials thought that the prince was so popular with the Huns that Emperor Tiande was rarely on his side and waved his hand to let him leave first.

The sixth prince stared at Chen Zi and Qi Jinsu's slender back, and a trace of fire appeared in his eyes. He clenched the wine glass in his hand and took a sip. The beauty is strong in nature, has a poisonous mouth, and is strong enough! No matter what, she wants to get him.

After the banquet, the sixth prince met with Emperor Tiande in private and pushed a deer-skin bag in front of the emperor. Emperor Tiande opened it and saw a wooden bow. It was not entirely true that it was a bow. There was no need for human power to pull the bow. This was a archer shot through the machine.

The Hun servants on the side picked up the crossbow and shot an arrow "whispered" at the solid wood screen in the room. The sharp iron arrow instantly penetrated the thick carved screen, leaving only a small dark hole. Emperor Tiande immediately walked over to check the small arrow nail

On the wooden post behind the screen, three points of wood were left, leaving only half of the tail feather outside, and the end was very powerful.

This level can only be achieved by a martial arts master with strong internal strength. The attendants behind the Sixth Prince obviously did not have much internal skills, and they didn't even use their strength just now. If the Huns had a large number of such weapons, the consequences would be unimaginable.

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Emperor Tiande's back. Dazhang has been focusing on martial arts for many years, and people have been pursuing powerful martial arts. The royal family does not pay much attention to the army. The weapons used by soldiers are no different from those a thousand years ago. If you encounter a hundred Xiongnu people holding crossbows, no matter how high their martial arts are, they will probably not be able to escape death.

"Xiao Wang fell in love with His Highness Jian at first sight. If His Majesty the Emperor can let Xiao Wang kiss you, this thing will be given to you." The Sixth Prince looked at the greed in Tiande's eyes and smiled slowly.

Emperor Tiande looked at the crossbow machine that was put back into the deer-skin bag, his heartbeat like thunder.

If you get this weapon, you will have a way to deal with martial arts masters, and the royal family will not be able to become stronger again. If you don't get it and the Huns use it on a large scale, the border will be in danger.

I have a love affair, and I don’t ask to take Chen Ziqi away...

Emperor Tiande endured the urge to agree immediately and said with a gloomy face: "Zi Qi is my brother."

"A half-brother is just a litter of wolf cubs who are snatching milk. When I was eight years old, I killed the newly born baby of my father's slave. My father praised me as a warrior." The sixth prince showed off his great achievements and was very disdainful of this indecisive emperor.

Under the eaves of the warm pavilion of Zichen Palace, there were birds stopping here. When the sixth prince walked out of the door with a deer-skin bag, the birds flew away as if frightened, and flew away to the side hall where Chen Ziqi lived.

After the Sixth Prince left, Emperor Tiande hurried to find the Gray-clothed Gu Master.

In the courtyard, the Gu Master sat in the shadow of the candlelight, holding a blue-black pot with a deep gloom over his body.

"I'm useful to give Chen Ziqi a sensational Gu." He seemed to feel embarrassed, Emperor Tiande spoke very fast, for fear that others would listen.

"The confusion is confusion, and aphrodisiac is aphrodisiac. What kind of Gu the emperor wants?" the man in gray asked in a hoarse voice.

"It's the kind that can make him unconscious and let others be frivolous." Emperor Tiande whispered.

"You can't get it down. There are already Gu in King Jian's body. These two Gu will bite each other. The Blood Gu is a hundred times stronger than the Love Gu. I'm afraid it will be swallowed up in an instant and will be useless." The man in gray said with a cold face.

After hearing this, Emperor Tiande was frustrated for a while and shook his sleeves and left.

After the person left, the gray-clothed man slowly unbuttoned the lid of the pottery jar, and it was empty inside and there was nothing. After staring at it for a while, his eyes couldn't help but be red, "My Gu insect... Damn Guiyun Palace!"

In the side hall, Diao Lie, who had turned into a human form, handed a small celadon jar to Danyi.

Chen Ziqi stretched his head and looked at it, and suddenly he had goose bumps. There were many grids in the small celadon jar, and in each grid there was a hideous insect, roaring silently with his mouth open.

Dan Yi glanced at Chen Ziqi's expression, pondered for a moment, closed the lid again, and handed it to Diao Lie, "I don't want to eat this recently, so you can reward your subordinates."
