Chapter 66

From Xiaofuzi's answer, the little emperor heard that Shen Yanchuan's plan had already started. Except for him, Shen Yanchuan hid his whereabouts from everyone, and what he had to do was to pretend to be completely ignorant, and then raise his vigilance and pay attention to everyone. Suspicious person.

The matter of trading with Beishuo is still under discussion. In order to prevent accidents, the little emperor took the entire Beishuo mission to the palace and sent enough people to guard their safety.At the same time, in order to reduce the chances of everyone wearing auspicious clothes, he never summoned Beishuo's envoys, and only handed over the affairs to the ministers of the Ministry of Rites, and listened to their progress reports at regular times every day.

As the days went by, the discussion on the mutual market became more and more settled, and the little emperor's heart became more and more suspenseful. On the night before the mission left, he completely lost sleep.

The most dangerous time for Shen Yanchuan is coming soon.

Sitting on the bed all night, the little emperor didn't feel tired. On the contrary, when the sun rose, his mind gradually became clearer, and he went out dressed neatly, and summoned Beishuo's envoys for the last time.

The envoy wearing auspicious clothes thought that he was about to leave, so he simply brought the deputy envoy and his party to the hall to pay respects, but in the end he was the only one who was summoned into the inner hall.

The little emperor still looked calm, with a polite smile dotted on the corners of his lips, and his two black eyes were like glazed black chess pieces, the luster could be seen, but the bottom could not be seen: "The envoy is fat."

The auspicious clothes are so spacious, but the fat and thin body is still visible at a glance, which made the Beishuo envoy a little embarrassed: "I would also like to thank His Majesty the Emperor for his hospitality these days."

"If it wasn't for the eagerness to let King Khan know my intentions, I would rather keep you for a few more days." The little emperor said with a smile.

The envoy of Beishuo bowed, and politely agreed: "We can't wait to bring the news of the mutual market to King Khan."

He didn't expect the little emperor to change the subject: "However, there is still half an hour left. I wonder if the envoy is interested in watching one more play?"

The members of the mission outside the door couldn't get in, so they could only stand and walk back and forth, so their hearts were rough. When the envoy stepped out of the door, the deputy envoy led the members to surround him and hurriedly shouted. Question: "My lord, what did Emperor Taihong tell you?"

"It's nothing special, just a treasure." The envoy raised his hand, followed by an eunuch with a large wooden box hanging around his neck, opened the small door in front of the wooden box, and there was a bonsai carved with jade inside.

"Do you see what this is?" the envoy asked.

The Deputy Envoy replied: "The emerald bamboo leans against the white lake stone... Taihong's jade material is very moist."

"You're talking about appearances. This bonsai means that Taihong Beishuo's friendship is evergreen and unwavering." The chief envoy signaled the eunuch to close the door, "So Emperor Taihong asked us to keep this thing properly. Keep it and give it to King Khan as a token."

"I see," the deputy envoy nodded thoughtfully, "Then we are...?"

"Leave the palace now, go to the post house and take all the things, and then be escorted by the Jinwu guards to the east and directly out of the city."

After a while, several carriages carrying envoys, gifts from the emperor, and clothing and accessories brought to the princess left the palace gate in a mighty manner.

When the car passed by the post house, the deputy envoy jumped out of the carriage, directed the people to carry things inside the house first, and then ran to the side of the chief envoy's carriage, flatteringly said: "My lord, the guard said that we can pick some potted flowers to take away, you Didn't you like the scent of Nijin Jiulianhuan before? Let me bring you two pots and put them in the car?"

"Okay." The envoy responded through the curtain, and suddenly lifted the curtain to correct his previous idea, "Two pots are too many. Just take one pot... eh? What does it smell like outside, it's cold and spicy..."

"Uh-huh..." the deputy envoy smiled, "I was afraid that I might miss the job due to sleepiness, so I asked the person on duty in the palace to ask for some borneol ointment to smear my forehead in the morning."

"Oh..." The envoy didn't care much, and he lowered the curtain before the other party finished speaking, "Let them be quick, and you can help."

The group of people worked for a long time, loaded the pile of things they brought back into the carriage, and then went out of the city and headed north accompanied by Jin Wuwei.

Walking all the way to the outskirts of the woodland, suddenly there was a "buzzing" sound gradually approaching in the air.

Everyone cautiously slowed down and looked around. Someone noticed the source of the sound: "There is a swarm of bees in front! Avoid it first, and then find something to ignite!"

What he said was very reasonable, but the speed of the swarm of bees was unexpected, and they almost rushed over in the blink of an eye, scaring everyone to flee to both sides of the road. Some people covered their heads with their coats and wanted to rush forward The people in the carriage dragged them down to escape, but they saw those black bees circling the leading carriage densely. burn.

But before the dry firewood was found, there was a scream from the direction of the carriage mixed with the neighing of the horse: "Ah!!!"

"It's the chief envoy!" Several followers in the Beishuo Mission thought that they were in the car, and it would be okay to wear a robe and carry it for a while, but their screams made them anxious, and they turned around to rush out to save people.

The deputy envoy quickly raised his hand to block it: "There is not even a lighted torch, are you in a hurry to die?"

"But..." The attendant had no way to refute, so he had to wrap a tree branch in his clothes and set it on fire, then covered his face with a hat, and tried to run over to save people.

It didn't take long for the scream to weaken, and it only took a blink of an eye to disappear.When everyone rushed out waving their lit objects, there were only a few bees wandering around outside the carriage.

"Gone?"

"Couldn't they all get into the car?"

"My lord! Are you all right, my lord?"

Everyone shouted at one another, but no one dared to step forward rashly.

"very good!"

Accompanied by a vague sound, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a gloved hand stretched out from inside. Immediately afterwards, the envoy dressed like a beekeeper jumped out of the carriage, wearing bee-proof equipment all over his body.

The deputy envoy hurried up to meet him: "Master Chief Envoy, when did you dress up like this?"

The master lifted the curtain of the car and showed him a tall and large beehive behind him. Inside, he could vaguely see a pot of yellow lacquer gold nine-link rings and fragments of auspicious clothes, and a swarm of black bees surrounded them intoxicated. Rubbing around: "Just after you sent that potted flower, what, it's beyond your expectation?"

"Ha, what did the envoy say..." the deputy envoy smiled, "Of course it's a good thing for you to turn a bad luck into a good one."

Suddenly, his smile froze, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Slowly lowering his head, he saw a bloody, bright sword point protruding from his abdomen.
