Dayong Nu sentenced to death

The border between Dayong and Xianyi is bounded by Qiangu Ridge, guarded by Hedu Pass.

The border town is sparsely populated, except for the people who have settled here for generations and the border troops stationed here, there is nothing else.

However, during this period of time, this place was uncharacteristically, with cars and horses coming and going, singing and singing, ushering in an unprecedented prosperity.

There was no other reason. The imperial court sent envoys to discuss the tea-horse trade with Xianyi and wanted to open border trade. After hearing the news, businessmen and celebrities from all over the world rushed forward, sharpening their heads and pushing forward, wanting to get a share of the pie.

The best Anping Inn in the town was taken over by the imperial envoy.

Those who came to visit almost smashed the threshold. On this day, the two missions negotiated for the last time, drafted documents, signed and printed them, and set the place of mutual trade at Yiran City, [-] miles away from Hedu Pass.

The two parties received the contract.

The singing and dancing started, the feast spread out, Xian Yi came to drink several bowls of strong wine, his face was smudged red, he stood up with the wine bowl unsteadily, and said to the host: "Uncle Tuoba Xiong and Xian Yi warrior , Thank you Zai Xiaozuka, may I, Xianyi and Dayong, have a long-lasting friendship and be neighbors forever!"

"Dry!"

He let out a deep drink, raised his bowl and poured it down in one gulp, extremely bold.

After drinking, he raised his sleeve and wiped his mouth, laughing loudly: "It's a pleasure, it's a pleasure!"

The man at the head also raised the wine cup, lifted it from a distance, and drank it with a smile.

His demeanor was full of nobility and coquettishness, it was Lu Heng, the servant of the household department who went on a tour in the south.

"General Yuan is polite, I don't know how the Beishan King is doing recently?"

"Uncle is fine, if there is no delay, he originally wanted to come here in person this time."

Yuan Lie sat back in his seat and replied.

Lu Heng propped his jaw with one hand, and played with the wine cup leisurely with the other hand, letting the wine stir up and splash his jade-white fingertips, "Is there something wrong? Could it be related to that little Wang named Le?"

As soon as he said a word, his faint voice seemed to overwhelm the dance music in the hall, and it fell clearly in everyone's ears. They stopped talking unconsciously, and their expressions turned slightly serious.

Several people in the Xianyi Mission looked at each other, and finally looked at Yuan Lie.

Yuan Lie's slightly blurred eyes were gloomy for a moment, and soon recovered, and he smiled drunkenly: "The news about Zai Xiaozuka is indeed well-informed, and it is because of him."

"Oh? It seems that King Beishan is indeed in trouble."

Lu Heng didn't seem to see the avoidance and vigilance of those in the Xianyi Mission, so he said to himself, "Do you need my help?"

A servant from the household department of another country actually opened his mouth and kept asking about the internal affairs of the Xianyi, and he wanted to help?

What can he do to help?

ridiculous!

Although the Xianyi envoys did not say anything clearly, the disdain and sarcasm in their eyes were still undisguised.

Yuan Lie narrowed his eyes slightly, looked in that direction with blushing cheeks, his mind was full of thoughts, others didn't know, but before his mission this time, his uncle specially called him to give him some advice.

Let him never offend this person!
The reasons for this were not discussed in depth, but he still remembers Lu Heng's embarrassing look.

Turning his thoughts around, Yuan Lie smiled, "I don't need Zai Xiaozuka to worry about this kind of rotten fish and shrimp. Someone will take care of him."

"How to clean up?"

Lu Heng's eyes streamed wildly, and his voice was slightly raised, like mockery or sarcasm: "You can't clean up your own territory, and you still expect to go to other people's territory to kill grass and roots?"

With the last four characters falling, an invisible pressure spread.

Even the writhing dancer was distracted for a moment, and stepped on the wrong drumbeat, Yuan Lie's heart shook violently, his free eyes suddenly froze, and he looked towards the superior.

How did he know?
"General!"

Several other people put down their bowls one after another and called out to Yuan Lie.

Yuan Lie raised his hand to interrupt them, and stared at Lu Heng's direction without squinting, "Xiaozukazai, can you let the idlers leave first!"

Lu Heng nodded slightly towards Jin Wudu beside him.

Jin Wudu raised his voice: "You all go out."

"Yes."

The dancers flitted around, twisted their slender waists, and retreated from the main hall, leaving only the two missions sitting, looking at each other, creating a strange atmosphere.

Yuan Lie shook his head, and when his thoughts became clearer, he said directly: "Master Kozuka knows already? Is it from the imperial court..."

"It has nothing to do with the court."

The meaning at the moment is that only he and the people present know about this matter.

Lu Heng brought all his cronies with him on this trip, so he naturally wouldn't avoid talking too much. Yuan Lie's face turned pale, knowing that it would be pointless to cover up what he said.

Since he mentioned it face to face, it means that there is a high probability that the news will be intercepted, which can save Xian Yi a lot of trouble.

"Thank you Kozuka-zai."

Yuan Lie stood up, clenched his fist against his chest, and bowed slightly.

Lu Heng's smiling eyes flicked over him, "Thank me for what? The trade between the two countries is imminent, and I just don't want to cause trouble."

"No matter what, the Tuoba family owes Ozuka Zai a favor, and they will definitely repay it in the future."

Dayong and Xianyi have lived in harmony for several years, so the matter of sending killers to infiltrate this time can be big or small. If it is small, it is the internal affairs of Xianyi, and if it is big, it is related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries.

Once spread to the bright side, it may break the hard-won peace.

Civil strife continued in Xianyi, and Dayong must not be offended at this time.

Yuan Lie thought of many consequences for a moment, his back was covered with cold sweat, and his waist was even more bent.

Lu Hengling raised his hand empty-handed, "It's just a matter of raising your hand, General Yuan is serious, but I'm a little curious, how could this man cross the Hedu Pass and come to my Dayong land because he's a good-looking man?"

"This……"

Yuan Lie hesitated again and again, and sighed deeply: "To tell the truth to Zai Xiaozuo, that little beast surnamed Le went crazy for some reason. He left the tribe suddenly a few days ago, and only brought a few confidants with him. He crossed the Wuheng Plain and sneaked into Dayong."

"You also know that our Tuoba clan and the Le clan are at odds. Naturally, we don't want to miss this golden opportunity."

When they received the tip, they thought the spies had made a mistake.

Unexpectedly, the little bastard actually broke away from the tribe. In order to save time, he abandoned the safest line of Yanle and Guchen, and crossed directly from the Wuheng Plain. Only then did they catch him.

He courted death by himself.

If you don't seize the opportunity, even Ye Xingshen won't be able to stand it!

Lu Heng could see that Yuan Lie's words were true, and said with a smile, "So that's the case, no wonder Beishan King is impatient."

"Yes."

Yuan Lie agreed.

Lu Heng pushed the wine cup in his hand forward, and immediately stepped forward to refill the wine without any restraint. He stared at the trickle of wine being poured into the cup.

He hooked his lips silently.

"General Yuan told Beishan King on my behalf, listen to my advice, if you don't catch anyone after passing Jinchuan, forget it."

Yuan Lie was surprised: "Why?"

Lu Heng shook the wine cup lightly, took a sip, and said slowly: "Further inside is the southern border, and now every state and county in the southern border is under his control. If he finds out, he won't have such a good temper as me."

"That..."

Yuan Lie was confused.

Lu Heng said a lot of words and was a little tired at the moment, stood up and walked to the back hall without saying hello, just put down a faint smile: "The lesson from the past is still in front of you, so you can do it yourself!"
