Chapter 198 Out of the mouth
Everyone knew very well that in recent days, Prince Urenge and the people from the Seventh Tribe of Danba had been committing crimes in the capital.

These literati and high-ranking officials who have read poetry and books and always abide by etiquette have long known that they know small rituals but have no great righteousness, and they are afraid of power but not virtuous.

But they never expected that these barbarians would only return the royal family of the Great Zhou with tribal fraternal gifts!
What kind of virtue and ability dare to despise the Holy Majesty and the Great Zhou like this!
Compared with that Princess Yan's late arrival, it pales in comparison!
The officials who couldn't stand it anymore began to whisper again:
"Look at their outfits! The men's hair is disheveled, and the women's heads are braided. They're all eye-catching things!"

"It's really unreasonable to come to Dazhou and not follow the Romans!"

"That's right, Lord Duan doesn't care about the etiquette department!"

But Prince Urenge didn't care about these criticisms, he just looked up at the ruler of the Great Zhou, Xiao Jingyu.

in his eyes.

This man owns the vast and boundless land of Dazhou, countless gold and silver jewels, food and women, and also has the supreme right.

Only now did he fully understand why his father Saqige's only wish in this life was to conquer the Great Zhou!
And such ambition will be inherited by him.

After Prince Urenge gave the tribal brother's gift, he led all his subordinates to stand upright, and his words were full of provocation:
"Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, such an act is not the way of hospitality in a state of etiquette!"

The atmosphere at the scene was once again tense because of the wild words of the barbarians.

And Xiao Jingyu, who was sitting at the top, was still staring at Prince Urenge closely, his eyes seemed to hide a fully drawn hunting bow, ready to shoot a poisonous cold arrow at any time.

Although the queen mother was also full of anger, it was not an option to stay in such a stalemate. Seeing that her son had no claim, she didn't know what to say.

Only Xiao Yanzhi and Lu Wanlan were happy to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.

And Lu Wanlan understands a truth: To deal with barbarians, it doesn't make sense to rely on reason alone. Only by being more ruthless and stronger than them can they be subdued.

This is also the reason why Chi Zheng was able to survive.

For a while, needles could be heard on the pitch.

When the atmosphere was extremely oppressive, Yao Shuiyue quietly tugged on Yao Songming's sleeve.

Pointing to the group of Dawanlie horses, whispered to him: "Look, brother, she..."

"I've seen the two of them a long time ago." Yao Songming said, and cast an impatient glance at Lu Yunfan and Lu Yunce behind the horse's ass.

"I'm not talking about them." Yao Shuiyue then pouted her chin, "It's the maid with the braids. Why does she have an iron collar around her neck? It's a bit like the fragment in my father's study."

"Iron collar?"

Yao Songming's eyes burst into a cold light, and he followed the trend.

Those Danba maids in colorful brocade clothes all have small braids and bead strings on their heads, and their looks seem quite familiar.

It's just the one closest to her, but she is particularly eye-catching, because she is the only one with a silver collar around her neck.

The cold light of the collar was a bit glaring in the sun, and the intricate patterns on it were exactly the same as the ones he picked up when he was handling the case in the Temple of Bliss.

Yao Songming later handed the fragment of black iron to Yao Ting'an. He thought his father would hand it over to Shuntian Mansion or other trial officials, but his father did not do so.

The murderer who killed Li Aotang turned out to be her!

An inexplicable sense of oppression instantly alerted Yao Songming.

He bowed his head a few times before Zitan, and shook Yao Shuiyue's hand calmly:
"You are by my side today, don't leave me half a step away."

"Well, I know..."

"Oh! Not good!"

Before Yao Shuiyue's voice escaped, a small inner prisoner's exclamation suddenly came from the middle of the court.

Then there was a wild Dawanlie horse, kicking over the fence and rushing towards the birthday gift presented by Danba Qibu.

The steely horseshoes constantly trampled on the gorgeous carpets, crushing the silverware and bone carvings.Several guards stepped forward to stop it desperately, but it was of no avail. Instead, it caused the horse to paw its hooves and neigh, sending up waves of dust and weeds.

The inner prisoner around him was so frightened that he quickly shrank his neck and dodged.

Only a few civil servants who were far away, jumped up and scolded: "I think it's fake for the seven Danba tribes to offer horses, but it's true that they want to make trouble!"

"Yes! This is not what an envoy Chao He should look like!"

Prince Urenge was wronged like this for no reason, and his face was a little displeased.

Just as he was about to call someone to restrain the fierce horse, he saw his younger sister Princess Longge suddenly pull out a silver-studded red dagger from the birthday gift.

Looking sharply at the officials of the Great Zhou, they took two steps back immediately in fright, and shouted: "You! What are you going to do!!"

Unexpectedly, the princess, who was dressed in a snow-white horse skirt and looked harmless to humans and animals, said contemptuously to Xiao Jingyu who was above him:

"Danba Qibu never raises useless people, let alone give away disobedient horses!"

After speaking, he raised his hand and stabbed at the horse's neck.

Watching her raise the blade, one can imagine the bloody scene that followed. The proud ladies present screamed and closed their eyes.

The rest of the officials shouted to stop it, but it was useless. They could only watch helplessly as the princess killed a fierce horse in front of the Holy One!
Seeing that the tip of the knife was about to stab down, a teacup cover flew out from nowhere, knocking down the silver dagger with a "Dang".

A vermilion figure rushed out immediately.

Just as Princess Longge paused, Lu Wanlan had already sat on the horse's back and hugged the horse's neck tightly.Her radiant hair fluttered in the air with the horse's raised hooves, and the red skirt fluttered fiercely, showing a heroic posture.

She stroked the horse tenderly with both hands, and she didn't know what she whispered.

In just a split second, the fierce horse, which was just like a whirlwind, stopped neighing and waved its mane meekly.

The Lu family has six horse farms in Liaodong, and there are too many horses to count.

Seeing Princess Longge's face full of anger, Lu Wanlan couldn't help replying proudly:
"Since it is a birthday gift dedicated to the Empress Dowager of the Great Zhou Dynasty, how can the princess be killed as she wants?"

After finishing speaking, he turned over and stomped on the ground again, and handed the horse to the guard beside him.

Passing by Princess Longge: "Could it be that the people of the Seventh Division of Danba can use their knives and don't use their brains when they do things?"

"you!"

Princess Longge stomped her feet angrily, but was stopped by Prince Urenge: "Longge, step back."

Waiting for Lu Wanlan to return to his original position under several surprised eyes.

Xiao Yanzhi looked at her sideways, his thin lips parted slightly, and he was choked by this little man:
"Your lord, I'd better save the words of praise to other girls."

Xiao Yanzhi sighed in his heart, why did he always feel that her play was hard to distinguish between true and false.

Before the rest of the crowd recovered from this scene, they heard a few clapping from above.

Queen Wang was full of dignified and meandering smiles, and she took the lead in breaking the silence:

"Princess Yan's riding skills are amazing! The strong horses presented by Danba's seven tribes are also top-notch. It's just that watching the horses is not enough, how about starting the polo match as soon as possible?"

What a woman says is always useful, let alone a beautiful woman.

The eloquent concubines were not present today, and the rescue of the Empress Wang at the critical moment made Xiao Jingyu bend his lips for the first time:

"The queen is right. The son and princess came from afar. They are indeed distinguished guests. Please take a seat."

After Prince Urenge saluted, he walked towards the side pavilion.

However, Princess Longge took two steps forward and looked at Lu Wanlan with a bright face:

"It will be the best if Princess Yan can play later. Except for you, Da Zhou is no match for me."

These remarks completely angered the civil servants and generals.

This Princess Longge has such a big tone!

She actually said that none of the boys from Da Zhou was her match, and even insulted herself that she was even worse than that Lu family's dominatrix!

How can this be endured? !
All of a sudden, the young and vigorous son-in-law began to scramble to sign up, wanting to compete with Danba Qibu.

But Princess Longge smiled charmingly at Xiao Yanzhi who was beside Lu Wanlan:
"However, if His Royal Highness King Yan agrees to marry Danba Qibu, this princess can willingly lose to you."
