Chapter six hundred and ninety sixth envoy to Northern Qi
Dongfang Qianxue originally thought that Zhuo Mufeng, who had tasted the sweetness, would be as shameless as he used to beg her, but she didn't expect that a few days had passed and it seemed as if nothing had happened to the other party.
After thinking about it for a moment, she understood and couldn't help but feel funny. This guy was really worrying for nothing. He was afraid that he would be too involved and would be unable to escape?
However, understanding the storm does not happen overnight. No matter how it is, the inspiration given to Zhuo Mufeng that day was enough for him to digest it for a long time.
I thought that life would be peaceful like this, but I didn't know that on this day, Dongfang Tao entered the great elder's study with a letter.
"You want Zhuo Mufeng to go to Northern Qi?" Putting down the letter in his hand, the great elder's face was solemn, with a look of disbelief still in his eyes. He handed the letter to Dongfang Tao across the desk.
Dongfang Tao took it and read it. Despite his calmness, his expression suddenly changed. It was not because the Emperor of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty ordered Zhuo Mufeng to enter the Northern Qi Dynasty with his team, but because of another major event that could shock the world.
"Is the news true?" Dongfang Changsheng asked.
This is a top-secret letter. It was written by the third elder Dongfang Changkong and sent after going through various procedures. There is no way it is fake. But it was so bizarre that even Dongfang Changsheng asked nonsense.
Dongfang Tao: "This can explain why Your Majesty asked Zhuo Mufeng to go to Northern Qi."
Trying to suppress the shock in his heart, Dongfang Changsheng waved his hand: "Go and call Zhuo Mufeng." The matter was so serious that he couldn't take into account his granddaughter's feelings.
Dongfang Tao walked outside the door, said a few words to the guard, and the guard took the order and left. About a quarter of an hour later, Zhuo Mufeng walked into the study with a look of surprise and uncertainty.
The sun was out in the west, and Old Immortal actually wanted to see him? Could it be that Dongfang Qianxue told him the situation, knew that the honey trap was not working, and planned to use other means?
Zhuo Mufeng looked calm on the outside, but in fact he had a lot of thoughts in his heart. Of course, he must not lose his etiquette. He respectfully said to the two people in the study: "I have met the elder, I have met the elder Tao. I don't know if I have summoned the junior to come. Do you have something important?"
Dongfang Changsheng laughed: "Mufeng, I am in retreat during this period, how about you staying in Zizhuyuan?"
Don't you know if it's good or not? Zhuo Mufeng cursed in his heart and said: "Thanks to the great elder's concern, everything is fine. Sister Xue takes good care of me."
These words sounded false at first sight. When would Dongfang Qianxue care about people? However, Dongfang Changsheng and Dongfang Tao did not expose it. Dongfang Changsheng said: "Mufeng, I came to you this time because of a very important matter.
For important things, I'm afraid you have to leave the Dongfang Family temporarily."
As soon as these words came out, Zhuo Mufeng almost cheered, but he didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly. He tried hard to hide the smile at the corner of his mouth, pretending to be confused and said: "The Great Elder wants to drive me away?"
Dongfang Changsheng nodded his chin, and Dongfang Tao picked up the letter on the desk and handed it to Zhuo Mufeng. Zhuo Mufeng subconsciously took it and read it. At this glance, he just felt like five thunders were striking him. If it weren't for his excellent control,
The whole person almost staggered.
The letter said two things.
First, just three days ago, news came from the Northern Qi Dynasty that the Emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty, regardless of the opposition of the ministers and the pleading of the harem, formally appointed the former Crown Princess Su Zhilan as the virtuous concubine by using the method of changing body movements to hide her ears and steal the bell.
This matter has spread to the outside world in a very short period of time. It is conceivable that it will sweep all directions in the future and cause shock to the entire world!
Throughout Su Zhilan's experience, she was first discovered by Zang Tiange, the crown prince of Southern Wu, in a rural area of Southern Wu. She fell in love with her at first sight and married her as the crown prince.
Later, she was valued by Qi Yuanhao, the crown prince of the Northern Qi Dynasty. Regardless of the friendship and interests of the two countries, he took away Su Zhilan's love with a cunning plan and made her the crown prince of the Northern Qi Dynasty. As a result, the two dynasties of the Northern Qi Dynasty and the Southern Wu Dynasty were originally on good terms.
, and immediately became enemies of life and death.
In a sense, a large part of the reason for the previous war jointly launched by Nanwu and Xichu was related to Su Zhilan, even though she was only a woman and could not control her own destiny at all.
Now less than two months after the war between the Four Dynasties, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty joined forces to defeat the enemy. It was a time for morale to be boosted. I didn’t expect that the Northern Qi Emperor would come out like this and marry his daughter-in-law? Isn’t this a case of being caught in the door?
Yet?
Zhuo Mufeng didn't know what was going on, and he didn't even care at all. At this moment, all he could think about was Su Zhilan. That princess who was pure and charming, that enchantress who was willing to do anything humiliating to please him.
Concubine, that ordinary woman who carries the world's infamy on her thin shoulders, yet still comforts herself in her arms!
I still remember the tenderness and sweetness that night, the reluctance and heartache when we parted. He once said that he would take her away from the palace that was isolated from the hustle and bustle of the world. She said yes, but she didn't believe it.
Receiving such news at this moment, a picture flashed before Zhuo Mufeng's eyes. He wondered whether Su Zhilan would show the same charming smile when facing the old face of the Northern Qi Emperor.
Just thinking of this, Zhuo Mufeng felt his heart throbbing and his face became ugly.
"Mufeng, what's wrong with you?" Dongfang Changsheng and Dongfang Tao obviously didn't expect Zhuo Mufeng's reaction to be so big.
Zhuo Mufeng smiled: "Such a thing could happen. Is the Emperor of Northern Qi crazy? He dug his own grave at the critical moment. Once Southern Wu and Western Chu see the situation and make a comeback, they will definitely drag me into Eastern Zhou Dynasty!"
Dongfang Changsheng smiled and said knowingly: "Mu Feng is worried about the safety of going to Northern Qi?"
The second thing in the letter was that the Emperor of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty personally ordered Zhuo Mufeng to accompany the imperial team as an envoy to the Northern Qi Dynasty. This matter is quite strange, but after thinking about it for a while, one can figure out the general idea.
Su Zhilan, who was newly named the virtuous concubine, was favored by the Northern Qi Emperor. Su Zhilan's life was saved by Zhuo Mufeng. The Emperor of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty specifically named Zhuo Mufeng, which must be related to it.
Zhuo Mufeng also thought of this and followed Dongfang Changsheng's words: "To be honest with the elder, I am indeed worried."
Dongfang Changsheng laughed: "Mu Feng is overly worried. The lineup going to Northern Qi this time is very strong. You represent Eastern Zhou. Northern Qi will only be more nervous about your safety than Eastern Zhou. Everything will be fine."
At this time, Zhuo Mufeng was in a state of confusion and said with a forced smile: "That's good." He didn't have the heart to ask why the Eastern Zhou Dynasty sent a team to the Northern Qi Dynasty.
Since the Emperor of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty personally issued the order, the Dongfang family did not dare to give face. Dongfang Changsheng gave a few instructions and asked Zhuo Mufeng to go down and prepare.
Zhuo Mufeng came empty-handed, so there was nothing he needed to prepare. When he passed by Zizhuyuan, he subconsciously stopped, but then he thought about it, shook his head with a wry smile, and ultimately did not go in.
The Dongfang Family was very efficient in doing things. Zhuo Mufeng had just returned to the courtyard and finished washing. The person who took him away was already waiting outside.
The two of them had an unobstructed journey, passed through the formation, walked down the stone steps, and arrived at the foot of the mountain. The man suddenly sent a message: "Young Master Zhuo, the Great Elder specifically asked me to tell you that if you have anything to do in Gusu City from now on, please contact Dongfang.
Aristocratic family, you can go to Shuicuiju and find Shopkeeper Liu. Whenever you have something difficult to solve, we will help you!"
He didn't have the heart to think about this, so he handed it over and said, "Thank you."
The man nodded, thinking that the young man in front of him was so valued by the great elder, and his future achievements would be limitless! Who knew that the person he envied was in a low mood at this time.
The formation was opened, and Zhuo Mufeng walked out alone. When he turned back, the light waves shimmered, and there was only an endless and vast snow-capped peak standing between the sky and the earth.
Zhuo Mufeng had wanted to leave for a long time, but if he had known it was because of the current reasons, he would have preferred that nothing had happened. He didn't even know how he should face Su Zhilan with his appearance and mentality.
Arriving outside the range of the mountains, there were people from the imperial court waiting here, and they all called Colonel Zhuo. Zhuo Mufeng himself almost forgot that he was still the Colonel Zhechong of Gusu City.
Riding on a tall horse, a group of people rushed to the meeting place of the large army.
Due to the emergency situation, they barely rested. They worked hard and quickly, and finally caught up with the large army outside a small town five days later.
"Brother Mufeng, hahaha..." A familiar burst of laughter came. As soon as Zhuo Mufeng got off his horse, an old man in green clothes appeared in front of him. It was not Le Qian.
Surprised that this sincere and sincere friend was here, Zhuo Mufeng's depressed mood for the past few days improved a lot, and he smiled and said: "Senior Le, it's great to see you."
Le Qian shook his head: "No, no, it's better if you see them." Turning sideways, Zhuo Mufeng immediately saw a figure in red, walking towards him with a face full of joy but pretending to be reserved.
Seeing the other party, Zhuo Mufeng's mood suddenly turned from gloomy to sunny, and he forgot all his worries. He took the initiative to step forward, ignored the shocked looks around him, took the other person into his arms, and shouted emotionally: "Miss!"
Wu Yuanyuan didn't expect this villain to be so shameless, but it also proved her status in his heart from the side. She couldn't help but feel very sweet, struggled to push him away, and whispered: "There are many people, don't mess around."
At this time, Qin Kerqing came over with Situ Ji. Situ Ji blinked at Zhuo Mufeng, still looking cynical.
Zhuo Mufeng asked curiously: "Why are you all here?"
Qin Keqing explained: "This mission to the Northern Qi Dynasty is of great importance. I, Songya Yuefu, and the Crown Princess...the Concubine Xian has an old relationship, so we went together. As for Yuan Yatou, she was also filled in in the name of Songya Yuefu.
."
She said it lightly, but in fact, in order to satisfy Wu Yuanyuan's wish, Songya Yuefu made a lot of efforts. After all, it is impossible for an overseas mission to just randomly stuff people.
When Zhuo Mufeng heard this, he immediately said to Le Qian: "Senior Le, thank you very much!"
Le Qian waved his hand: "Brother, it's boring to say that. You and I are destined to be together, not to mention that without your Beihong Sword, this matter wouldn't be possible."
There was a lively chat here, when a group of people came over not far away, and the leader was the current Eighth Prince. He had handsome eyebrows, glanced at Wu Yuanyuan quickly, and then smiled at Zhuo Mufeng and said: "Brother Zhuo, you and I again
We met."
Zhuo Mufeng recognized that the other person was the young man who had appeared next to Mei Shanhui at the Dajun Mountain Wind and Cloud Conference. Unexpectedly, he was the Eighth Prince.
