In the early morning, with the first ray of sunshine, a rainbow appeared in the sky...
It was a magnificent sight created by dozens of people dumping bedpans in the air at the same time...
Although there are towering snow-capped mountains all around and boundless grasslands at your feet, no matter how beautiful these scenery are, there will be a day when you get bored...
Just like these Feixiamen people who have been flying in Xingtian for thirteen days...
They are bored, yawning all day long, sleeping after eating every day, and leaning on their arms to look at the mountain scenery in a daze when they wake up. For them who have long passed the novelty, this slow walk is not as comfortable as Zongma Grassland.
,happy.
But it is not unreasonable for Yan Bing to insist on choosing this way of return trip.
Because at this time, it is winter...
The northwest monsoon, caused by the imbalance between the high pressure from the Arctic Ocean and the low pressure from the Central Asian continent, is causing Xingtian to fly at a speed that is several times faster than usual. Moreover, it is flying day and night without stopping.
At this rate, it should only take them about twenty days to reach Xuzhou City.
Although the fifth uncle was very pertinent and gave a date of at least one year, the poison in the old man's body was not clear for a day, and Yan Bing felt as if he had picked a stone, and he had trouble sleeping and eating.
But when this Xingtian team got farther and farther away from Varo and closer to Xuzhou, Yan Bing began to worry about his Tongshun Army again...
"I wonder what Varro will do next..." Yan Bing said to himself as he lay beside the hanging basket and looked at the rising sun.
"What you do has nothing to do with you anymore," Xue Kui slowly stretched out, stood up holding the hanging basket, wrapped his hands around Yan Bing's neck, and said with a smile, face to face: "You can't count on Your Majesty.
Can a messenger come to this heaven to deliver a message to you?"
Yan Bing smiled and replied: "Yes." Then he turned his head and kissed Xue Kui.
"Ouch? So proactive!?? It's too rare! No! I can't stand it anymore!" Xue Kui pretended to take off her clothes with a smirk on her face, which shocked Yan Bing and hurriedly warned her with a straight face: "
Don't make trouble! Even if Lingyue and Wen Miao are here, there are still two soldiers! Don't damage my dignity in the army!"
The two soldiers did not dare to look back, they could only look straight ahead and nodded silently.
Stop talking!! We are still young! We don’t want to be “silenced” at such a young age...
"Isn't this just teasing you?" Xue Kui slowly stopped her posture and continued to lean on Yan Bing, getting closer and closer to her, almost pushing her out of the hanging basket.
Yan Bing gave a helpless smile and ignored Xue Kui's "heat". He continued to look at the beautiful mountains and rivers at his feet, but his thoughts returned to the smoke-filled battlefield...
But Yan Bing didn't know at this time that all her worries were completely unnecessary...

The second year of Xuan Si
The nineteenth day of the twelfth lunar month
Dihua City
"Your Majesty——!!! Your Majesty has descended!!! Your Majesty has descended——!!!" He Yougui rushed into the emperor's tent with his eyebrows flying, only to see Emperor Xuan Si glaring at him with cold eyes...
…
"You said...who surrendered...? Get out! Say it again!!" Emperor Xuansi slammed the memorial on the table, which frightened Old Man He and trembled. He quickly turned around and walked out of the tent, straightened his clothes.
Then he walked in slowly with square steps, bowed to Emperor Xuansi, and said loudly: "Your Majesty! Varro sent an envoy to ask for the surrender of Daliang——!"
After saying that, he stepped forward and handed Varo's lowered hands to Emperor Xuansi.
"Please surrender...? Humph, he surrenders whenever he wants? Don't they know what I want?" Emperor Xuansi had a dark face the whole time. He reached out to take the surrender watch and started to look at it. He just saw the first one.
He was stunned, and then looked at He Yougui with a puzzled face, and asked in a deep voice: "Who is this Xianyu Kezige? I remember that Varro's khan should be named Xianyu Chaletu...
"
He Yougui slowly raised his head, showed a mysterious smile, and whispered: "Your Majesty, this Xianyu Kezige was originally the prince of the Varo Kingdom. This time, the Varo capital was completely out of food. It was he who led the army to purge
to Xindu,
He also led people into the palace...Oh, by the way, Varro's messenger outside the tent also sent a gift, which he wanted to present to Your Majesty. I have already checked it with the widower, and there is nothing wrong with it. Your Majesty will definitely confirm it after reading it.
I will be happy..."
Emperor Xuansi raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and then turned to wink at Xiao Zhezi. Xiao Zhezi nodded, took two steps forward and shouted in a long voice: "Xuan——! The Varro messenger comes to see——!"
!”
As soon as these words came out, the guards around Emperor Xuansi immediately became very energetic. They stood in two rows around Emperor Xuansi with their hands on the handles of their swords...and Emperor Xuansi did not do anything.
Stop drinking. After all, it is good for the guards to be more cautious when foreign ministers are meeting.
And these guards are not ordinary people. They are all top masters who were transferred back from various strongholds of Heijinsi by Zeng Ke. They are just to prepare for this expedition and are responsible for protecting His Majesty's safety.
In fact, according to Zeng Ke's original intention, he planned to personally protect His Majesty's right and left. However, Emperor Xuansi refused to allow it and even directly ordered him to maintain the stability of the capital to prevent turmoil. He had to do the next best thing and mobilize this person.
Approval of experts.
Outside the tent, an envoy dressed as a Varro official walked in slowly holding a four-foot-square brocade box. He kept his head down the whole time, not daring to raise his eyes to look at Emperor Xuansi, for fear that if he was suspicious, he would be scolded by the other party.
It had been disassembled into eight pieces, so even when I walked, I took small steps cautiously, not daring to take a breath. I walked until I was next to He Shangshu, then gently placed the brocade box on the ground, bowed my head and bowed.
"Foreign minister, I would like to pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor of the Liang Kingdom. Your Majesty will be here for ten thousand, ten thousand years."
Emperor Xuansi squinted at the Varo people kneeling below him. Remembering what Varo had done when he was powerful over the years, he didn't even want to talk to him anymore, and winked directly at the little Zhezi next to him.
Little Zhezi nodded in understanding and shouted in a long voice: "Get up——!!"
Looking at Envoy Varro again, he stood up tremblingly. Even when he spoke, he was trembling. Even the brocade box in his hand was shaking and making a clanging sound.
"Your Majesty, the foreign minister is... specially here to ask for your Majesty's surrender... on behalf of Varro... King Wushuo... Xianyu Kezige..."
"King Wushuo?" Emperor Xuansi interrupted him with a suspicious look on his face before he could finish his words: "Shouldn't he be the new khan of Varo now? Why do he still want to be king?"
"Back to your Majesty... Before King Wushuo left, he specifically... told me that... as long as your Majesty... is willing to provide food to help our Varo subjects survive this severe winter... He is willing... the whole country to surrender to Daliang, and from now on
... Become a vassal of the Daliang vassal and never betray... This... this gift box... is the sincerity of King Wu Shuo..."
"Sincerity?? Huh, rather than sincerity, I hope he can send someone who can speak eloquently as an envoy!" Emperor Xuansi looked down upon the envoy with cold eyes, then flicked his robe sleeves and motioned to the little philosopher to send the brocade to the emperor.
The box is coming.
Xiao Zhezi hurriedly took a few steps, stepped forward to take the brocade box, placed it lightly on the dragon case, and then half-opened the lid of the box in his direction, making sure that there was no mechanism, and then completely opened the lid.
, and then stepped aside.
In the brocade box, there are two objects.
One is the national seal of the Varro Kingdom, and the other is a bloody human head...
