National color raw owl

In the Temple of Heaven, Chi Liandian spoke surprisingly, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. Feng Yuanpo obviously didn't expect Chi Liandian to be so direct, he was taken aback for a moment, but soon smiled and said: "It turns out that they are the commander of Dianshuai. Hearing that red armor and red equipment entered Fanmen City, I still didn't believe it, thinking how could the Liaodong soldiers of Dianshuai enter Hexi town without the order of the Ministry of War, that would violate the national law...!" Smiling and watching Looking at Chi Lian Dian, his voice also had a trace of respect: "Dian Shuai, is there some unavoidable reason in the middle?"

"It's not really a last resort." Chi Liandian stared at Feng Yuanpo, "The Liaodong Army is now at war with King Qingtian, and there are many scumbags under Qingtian King who gather under him. These methods are proficient, the so-called gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, and this time I come to Hexi to participate in the birthday ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heavens, so I must bring some guards by my side."

"Oh?" Feng Yuan laughed and said, "It's okay to bring some guards, it's just Dian Shuai's men, why did they enter Fanmen City without permission?"

Chi Lian calmly said: "There are too many guards, if all of them are brought to the Heavenly Palace, I feel that something is wrong, so Chi Bei stays in Fanmen and waits. Why are they stationed in Fanmen? I don't know why. There must be a reason for it." Turning to the emperor, he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, on the way here, I was very anxious. At that time, Chi Bei stopped outside Fanmen City and did not enter the city. Why did I enter the city now? I am also very puzzled. I implore the Holy One to send someone to investigate, and if Chi Bei really violated the laws of the country, I am willing to be punished."

The emperor stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I also want to know why Liaodong soldiers entered the Hexi city. I will naturally send people to investigate...!" After a pause, he smiled and said: "Today is my birthday. All things, wait until tomorrow to discuss."

When the ministers heard the words, they could only say yes.

The emperor looked at Xue Huai'an, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and asked, "Xue Aiqing, what program is there today?"

Xue Huai'an went out and clasped his hands and said, "My Majesty, a total of 36 troupes have been summoned this time, all of which have unique skills... The Majesty loves military music, and Zhen Kou Feng has also been summoned from the capital. In addition, Jinling Peacock Terrace Summoned...!"

"Peacock Terrace?" The emperor raised his eyebrows.

Xue Huai'an immediately said: "Exactly, the Jinling Sparrow of the Peacock Terrace is the dancer who was bestowed the title of Princess of the Kingdom by the Holy One, and this time she also brought a group to perform."

The queen showed a slight smile at this time, and said: "Her dancing skills are indeed very good, yes, Peacock Flowing Cloud, is it her performance?"

"Exactly." Xue Huai'an said with a smile, "Empress Empress still remembers her? This is because Duke Zhong sent someone from Jinling to summon her."

Feng Yuanpo has already cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I have heard of the name of Jinling Peacock Terrace before, but I am not familiar with it. This time, I will ask Xue Butang for advice on everything, especially the finale art troupe. , not to be sloppy, the Peacock Terrace was recommended by Xue Butang to the minister, and the minister heard that the dancer was once conferred the title of Princess by the Holy Majesty, and presumably she was highly appreciated by the Holy Majesty and the Empress, so I sent someone to invite her here."

Xue Huai'an frowned slightly, thinking that Feng Yuanpo was really double-faced. Xue Huai'an was worried that the emperor would be dissatisfied with the Jinling sparrow's coming and would implicate himself. Xue Huai'an meant that, regardless of whether the emperor was satisfied or not, Feng Yuanpo would not be involved.

It's just that Feng Yuanpo asked continuously at that time, and he himself mentioned the Jinling sparrow. Although he only mentioned the name, it was ultimately related to him.

The emperor nodded noncommittally, but Feng Yuanpo turned his head and said loudly: "Master Yang, what's next for the birthday ceremony?"

This time, the birthday ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven was specifically organized by Yang Zhen, the head of the Hexi Ministry of Rites, so although his status was not high, he also came to the palace to be responsible for the specific regulations.

"My Majesty, according to the regulations, the art troupe should perform next, and then I will offer birthday noodles to my Majesty, and there will be a banquet in the evening." Yang Zhen knelt down on the ground and said respectfully.

"Since that's the case, quickly submit the list of art troupes to the Holy One." Feng Yuanpo said in a deep voice.

Yang Zhen didn't hesitate, and said cautiously: "The minister has already made the list...!" He took out a plate of documents from his arms, and there were seven or eight copies. Seeing this, everyone was a little strange, Yang Zhen said awkwardly: " I would like to report to the Holy Majesty that the servants are not completely familiar with the rules of the imperial court, so when making the list, I made a few more copies, thinking that you adults should also read it...!"

Feng Yuanpo frowned and said, "Didn't I tell you that if there are rules you don't understand, you should ask Xue Butang for advice...!"

"Damn it!" Yang Zhen was a little flustered, and cold sweat was already oozing from his forehead, "I beg the Lord to punish you...!"

However, the emperor laughed and said, "Today is my birthday. You have done everything well, and there is nothing wrong with it. I said that today's birthday is not my birthday, but the celebration of the whole world... Send the list to several governors, and they Guarding the place for me, I have worked hard and made great achievements, and today I want to have fun with all my lovers!"

Feng Yuanpo clasped his hands and said: "Shang Sheng Ming." Then he said to Yang Zhen: "I haven't submitted the list yet."

Yang Zhen bowed his body forward, and first presented a bronzing list to the eunuch in front of the hall, and the eunuch then forwarded the list to the emperor, and then Yang Zhen personally distributed the list to the officials present. There were more than a dozen important ministers in the hall, and the list But eight copies can only be distributed according to the position. Yang Zhen presented the list to Chiliandian. Chiliandian shook his head. The emperor saw it and smiled and said: "The commander in charge of Liaodong has worked hard. I know you like iron-blooded soldiers." Le, fortunately, Zhen Kou Feng has arrived, so you can naturally watch the military music when you look back." Pointing to the list in Yang Zhen's hand, he said, "Mr. The face of Duke Zhong."

The emperor said so, Chi Liandian could only take the list, held it in his hand, scanned it casually, and finally said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you know that I am a vulgar man who leads troops to fight. It’s really strange, it’s better to be hand-picked by the Holy One.”

The emperor read it patiently, then reached out to ask for Zhu's approval, and ordered a few art troupes. Then the eunuch in front of the palace took the list and handed it to Yang Zhen. Yang Zhen didn't hesitate, took the list and went down to arrange .

The emperor said that today is his birthday, so it is inconvenient to mention state affairs. Although the crown prince looked very calm, there was a hint of anxiety in the depths of his eyes.

The art troupe soon came to the Tiandao Hall. Although everyone accompanied the emperor to watch the performance, they had their own thoughts in their hearts.

……

……

On the official road in Hexi, Feng Tianxiao and his party are rushing to Wuping mansion at high speed.

Feng Tianxiao led more than a dozen attendants flying horses in front, and Wu Xuan led twenty selected Chi Bei followed closely behind.

When the sun was setting, he suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes in front of him. Wu Xuan raised his head and saw a black line suddenly appearing on the field in front of him. As they were approaching, the group of cavalrymen numbered at least several hundred, Wu Xuan frowned, and already touched his waist with one hand.

Feng Tianxiao didn't stop and didn't look back, he went straight to meet the group of cavalry, Wu Xuan's eyes became cold, he raised his hand suddenly, all the riders behind him stopped in an instant, their movements were unified, almost At the same time, they had pulled out their sabers from their waists. They had experienced battles and had a keen sense of smell. Even if Wu Xuan didn't remind them, everyone knew that the danger was approaching.

"Barbarians...!" someone in Chibei said in a deep voice.

Although the oncoming cavalry rode tall horses, their costumes were not uniform, mainly black. Although these red soldiers mainly dealt with the Koreans, they also had little contact with the barbarians. It was obvious at a glance that the oncoming cavalry Hundreds of cavalry are the barbarian cavalry in Mobei.

"Lord Qianhu, there is an ambush over there...!" A Chibei beside him said sharply.

I could only hear a group of black cavalry appearing from the left side, also hundreds of cavalry, galloping towards this side on flying horses, and almost at the same time, a group of black cavalry also appeared from the right.

"The Hexi people are cheating." A Chibei said sharply: "Master Qianhu, we are surrounded...!"

Wu Xuan did not hesitate, staring at Feng Tianxiao's back, had already taken off the longbow on his back, bent the bow and mounted an arrow, and shot towards Feng Tianxiao without hesitation.

Arrows are like shooting stars.

Feng Tianxiao had obviously noticed something, his reaction was really not slow, seeing that the arrow had already reached his back, but he saw that his body suddenly turned to the side, as if he was about to fall off the horse, but his legs were looped around the horse's back However, he hung his horse upside down and escaped the arrow.

The horse's hooves rumbled, Wu Xuan said in a deep voice, "Turn back...!"

"There is also an ambush behind...!"

At this time, there was another sound of horseshoes coming from behind. Twenty Chibei were surrounded by enemies on all sides, and they were completely surrounded in the wilderness. Chibei is certainly the strongest cavalry in the world. Invincible in the plains and wilderness, their horses are the most suitable for fighting, but at this moment, the opponent is all cavalry, and the four sides add up, at least six or seven hundred people, dozens of times the number of Chi Bei, it is the gods descending to the earth, Chi Bei Equipment is also hard to fly.

Feng Tianxiao brushed past the group of barbarian cavalry oncoming, then reined in his horse and turned around, shouting sharply: "Kill all these Liaodong Chibei, take a head, and reward you with a thousand taels of silver!"

Among the barbarian cavalry, some people immediately shouted "barbarian" and "barbarian" loudly. Most of these barbarian cavalry didn't understand the Central Plains dialect. When Feng Tianxiao yelled, they didn't understand what he meant. Translated in the barbarian language, the morale of this group of barbarian cavalry was greatly shaken, and a thousand taels of silver was rewarded. For any barbarian cavalry, that is an astronomical figure. A hundred taels of silver can make them fearless. Two silver coins are enough to make them completely forget about their own lives.
