Duan Shao turned his head and said, “Huo Cong, I have worshipped the Lord!”

The attendant who was holding the gift box took a few steps forward, knelt on the ground, and said loudly: “East Palace Iron Guard Huo Cong, see the Lord!”

“East Palace Iron Guard?” Long Tai laughed and said, “Are you the prince’s bodyguard? I have been to your country of Qi when I established the Crown Prince in Eastern Qi. I heard that there are eight guards of the East Palace beside the prince, and you must be one of them. ”

Qi Ning thought to himself that this was the first time he had heard of the Donggong Tiewei. When he went to Dongqi a while ago, he encountered the chaos of King Taishan. At that time, Duan Shao was following a group of guards, but he hadn’t heard of the name of the Donggong Eight Guards.

But since Longtai said this, the Eight Guards of the East Palace are naturally not ordinary people. Hearing the name, we know that he is a powerful character around Duan Shao. That day, the Eight Guards of the East Palace should have been hidden among the guards, but that time there were many soldiers and horses. Whether Huo Cong was present that day, Qi Ning has no memory.

Duan Shao said: “Reporting to the sage, Huo Cong is one of the eight guards. Huo Cong grew up by the sea, but he practiced martial arts since childhood and was very brave. It was when he learned that he entered the sea to kill sharks, he was admitted to the East Palace.”

Huo Cong’s appearance is not amazing, and his skin is the bronze color unique to seaside residents, but it can be seen that the muscles on his body are abnormally strong, and he doesn’t seem to have any excess fat. sense of power.

“Sure enough, he is a warrior.” Long Tai smiled and said, “Duan Xuan, come and go without being indecent, I have received your congratulations from Qi, what reward do you want?”

Duan Shao respectfully said: “Reporting to the Lord, Duan Shao is here for the good of the alliance between the two countries and does not dare to accept the reward.”

The King of Huainan said with a smile: “Prince, you escorted Princess Tianxiang to Chu State smoothly. You have worked hard and made a lot of work. Since the emperor has spoken, you don’t need to be polite.”

“This…!” Duan Shao hesitated before handing over his hands: “My lord, if you say what reward Duan Shao wants, I really think of one. The imperial sister’s marriage to Chu is for the sake of an alliance between the two countries. Well, Duan Shao has yet to set up a prince concubine, if I receive the favor of the Lord and give me a marriage, so that I have a prince concubine in Dongqi, Duan Shao and the whole country of Qi must be grateful.”

Qi Ning was silent on the side, this scene was what he expected, and his mood naturally did not move in the slightest, but very few people in Manchao Wenwu knew about it in advance. When Duan Shao said this, many people showed surprise. color.

Qi Ning glanced at Ximen Wuhen, only to see Ximen Wuhen bowing and standing, his expression was calm, without the slightest change.

“You asked me to marry me?” Longtai smiled and said, “Duan Shao, is this a request from the monarch of your country?”

Duan Shao respectfully said: “Reporting to the sage, asking your country for marriage is a decision made by Duan Shao and his father after discussing it. The purpose is to make the two countries closer to each other. , as long as the Lord bestows the marriage and returns to Daqi, he will immediately be canonized as the Crown Princess, in order to declare to the people of the world that my Daqi and Chu are sincere friendship.”

Duan Shao’s request for marriage was something that many ministers did not expect. At this time, the ministers whispered, and Qi Ning faintly heard that the ministers seemed to be very concerned about this marriage.

Back then, when the two heroes of Chu and Northern Han stood side by side, they were indistinguishable from each other. They were all trying to win over the Eastern Qi to become their ally. Because of this, both the Northern Han and the Chu State showed their goodwill to the Eastern Qi many times, while the Eastern Qi was not. Qi was between Han and Chu, and neither had a good alliance with any country, but also did not offend any country.

Both countries are also worried that if they release hostility to Dong Qi, it is likely to push Dong Qi to the enemy. Therefore, for many years, both countries have acquiesced in the existence of Dong Qi, and Dong Qi has used this as a bargaining chip. preserved until now.

Now that the State of Qi has agreed to the State of Chu’s request for marriage, and the Crown Prince personally leads the embassy, this also shows that the world situation will undergo tremendous changes since then, and this change will undoubtedly be most beneficial to the State of Chu, so the ruling and opposition parties All up and down, everyone rejoiced at the arrival of the Chinese embassy.

Today, Duan Shao asked for marriage from the state of Chu. Although it was unexpected by the courtiers of the state of Chu, all the ministers knew in their hearts that this was of course a great good thing for the relationship between the two countries.

The two marriages will surely further strengthen the relationship between Qi and Chu.

Long Tai nodded slightly and said, “The state of Qi is asking for relatives, for the sake of the permanent friendship between the two countries, this is of course deeply appreciated by me. It’s just that my Chu royal family does not have a suitable princess to marry now, and your country must be aware of that.”

Duan Shao said with a smile: “My lord, Duan Shao also knows a little about this, so he never thought about asking for a royal princess.”

“Oh?” Longtai said with a smile, “Could it be that your country is married to someone else?” Having said that, he glanced at Qi Ning and saw Qi Ning standing among the ministers, calm and composed, as if he had a plan.

Duan Shao said: “Reporting to the sage, Duan Shao has been fond of horseback riding and archery since he was a child, and he likes the style of the army, so before he came here, he asked the father and emperor for advice. If Chu finds a girl he likes, he can ask the lord to marry him. .”

“So, you already have a girl you like?”

Duan Shao was upright, personable, elegant, and noble, and nodded: “After Duan Shao came to Jianye Capital, he has indeed found the person he likes.”

“I don’t know who it is?”

Duan Shao took a step forward and bowed deeply to Longtai again, “Duan Shao urges the daughter of the Lord General Ximen Shenhou to marry me in Qi!”

Although Qi Ning already knew Duan Shao’s goal, but when he heard him say it in the court at this time, his brows were still slightly locked, and he looked at Ximen Wuhen. Variety.

On the contrary, the other ministers in the hall all had different expressions, and one was even more surprised. Many people quickly turned their attention to Ximen Wuhen.

“Daughter of the Marquis of God?” Longtai looked at Ximen Wuhen and asked, “Duan Shao, do you want me to marry the daughter of Marquis of God to you?”

“I beg the Lord to be perfect.” Duan Shao handed over again.

At this time, many people thought to themselves that since the Crown Prince of Dongqi was begging for marriage, even the emperor would not refuse. Miss waiting, Chu Guo is also not easy to refuse.

Qi Guo sent Princess Tianxiang to show their sincerity towards the alliance between the two countries. If Qi Guo asked for a marriage and Chu refused, it would definitely make Chu a ruthless reputation, and it would also directly affect the relationship between the two countries. Therefore, all the ministers thought that since Duan Shao opened his mouth, there was still no room for manoeuvre in this marriage.

Longtai thought for a while, then looked at Ximen Wuhen and asked, “Ximen Aiqing, has Ling Ai reached the age of marriage?”

Long Taiming knew the age of Ximen Zhanying, and he was ready to marry Ximen Zhanying to Qi Ning, but he asked this question at this time. Qi Ning knew that Longtai was giving him a chance to turn around.

At this time, Ximen Wuhen finally walked out of the ranks of ministers, bowed and said: “Reporting to the sage, the minister’s daughter is nineteen years old, and has reached the age of leaving the cabinet.” After a pause, he said: “It’s just that the crown prince has a distinguished status, and the minister’s daughter is 19 years old. I really can’t match the prince, and I don’t have the qualifications to become the prince concubine of Qi.”

Duan Shao has already smiled and said: “Shen Hou of Ximen, Duan Shao is indeed a bit reckless to ask for marriage. It’s just that Duan Shao can only dare to ask the Lord to grant marriage for the sake of the eternal alliance between the two countries. Duan Shao already knows a little about Ling Ai, Ling Ai has been practising martial arts since she was a child, she is valiant, and she is even trained by the goddess. Duan Shao thinks that Lingai is the most suitable candidate for my prince concubine of Dongqi, and I also ask the gods to give up your love!”

Ximen Wuhen slightly cupped his hands to Duan Shao, his tone was calm, and he cupped his hands slightly: “Your Highness is serious.” Turning to Longtai, he respectfully said: “Your Highness, since Your Highness has taken a fancy to the minister’s daughter, this is also an honor of the minister. In order to The alliance between the two countries is good, if the sage has decreed marriage, the minister should obey!”

The corners of Qi Ning’s brows twitched slightly, thinking that this old guy’s approach seems to be wrong, how did Ximen Zhanying persuade him to go back last night?

Longtai glanced at Qi Ning and saw that Qi Ning was about to move. He pondered for a while before saying, “Duan Shao, since Ximen Aiqing…!”

“Your Majesty!” Before Longtai finished speaking, Ximen Wuhen took a step forward and said respectfully, “I still have something to report, I don’t know if I should say it or not!”

Long Tai said with a smile: “I’m about to get married soon. Today, the prince of Qi State is asking for marriage. This is a matter of joy. If Ximen Aiqing has something to do, it doesn’t matter.”

“Your Majesty, when Zhan Ying was young, her mother died, and it was the minister who brought her up.” Ximen Wuhen sighed, “It is precisely because of this that the minister neglected her favor and cultivated her quite a bit. Unruly temperament. When the prince asks for marriage, the minister will naturally follow the order, but the minister is worried about Zhan Ying’s temperament…!”

Duan Shao immediately said: “Don’t worry, if you make Ai the prince concubine of Qi, I will protect her well, and I will not let her be wronged in Qi.”

Ximen Wuhen cupped his hands to Duan Shao and said, “Thank you, Your Highness. UU reading www.sonicmtl.com” After a pause, he sighed: “Your Highness, with your care, even if Zhan Ying marries Dong Qi, I won’t worry. It’s just… I had an agreement with Zhan Ying back then. I just thought it was the kid joking, but then every time I talked about his marriage, the kid would mention the agreement back then, and then I knew it. He was serious.”

Qi Ning’s expression was a little dignified, but when Ximen Wuhen said this, his expression relaxed slightly.

“Ximen Aiqing, what’s your agreement?” Longtai seemed very interested, leaning forward slightly, looking down at Ximen Wuhen.

Ximen Wuhen said: “Your Majesty, Your Highness is asking for a kiss. This is an important matter between the two countries, but you don’t have to consider personal affairs. The agreement of the year is not worth mentioning. As long as the sage has issued his will, the minister should obey the will and send the station to the east. together.”

“Ximen Aiqing, you are an old official of the two dynasties.” Long Tai said earnestly: “If you have any difficulties, just say it, the prince of Qi State wants to marry your daughter, and naturally he also likes it, and the prince does not want to see it if he wants to come. She married Qi with her grievances.”

Duan Xuan immediately said: “What the lord said is very true.” Xiang Ximen Wuhen said: “God, if there is any difficulty, it’s okay to say it.”

“Actually, it’s not too difficult.” Ximen Wuhen sighed with emotion: “Zhan Ying has been teaching her martial arts since she was three years old. Although her martial arts skills are mediocre, she still has some boxing skills. , In the eyes of famous masters, her martial arts are really not worth mentioning, but she thinks that martial arts are great…!” Sighed and shook his head, all the ministers present couldn’t help smiling when they heard the words.
