Chapter 155 Wenjiang Messenger

The fighting stopped for a few days, not because Yi Jingchen didn't want to give the order to attack frontally, but because the enemy army sent an envoy to ask for peace.

Outside the camp, the night is dull, and the wilderness is yellow sand.Candles flicker in the tent, dry ink and white paper.

"Peace? You agreed?" Yu Qianqian paused when she ate dried dates when she heard what Yi Jingchen said.

Yi Jingchen thought, "That's not true. How could I agree to him casually? Even if I agree to this kind of thing, I have to get His Majesty's consent. Therefore, I sent someone back to the palace to convey the peace request."

"The envoy who came to ask for peace is still in the camp?" Yu Qianqian couldn't help thinking.

"Yes, he hasn't got the exact news yet, so he's staying in the camp for the time being." Yi Jingchen looked at her strangely, "Daughter-in-law, are you trying to trick that emissary?"

Yu Qianqian sighed slightly, "It's hard to say, how could there be such an easy victory on the battlefield, not to mention that Shan Yu Shanxiong is not an ordinary person. He originally had 1 troops on the frontier, but he injured more than [-] of our army in one battle. How can you underestimate it?" He? Did you check the origin of the messenger?"

Yi Jingchen thought for a while, "It seems to be just an ordinary general."

But Yu Qianqian stood up, put on a windbreaker that could prevent wind and sand, "Go, go and meet that literary general."

In another tent.

Shan Jing sat cross-legged in front of the desk, wearing a Confucian robe, eating dry food sent by Chu Liang.

The first thing Yu Qianqian saw when she came in was his gentle and graceful movements while eating dry food, which was completely unlike the savage Huns she imagined.

For the convenience of marching, the dry food in the army is just some dry steamed buns that are easy to store, and rice cakes fried with rice.

Now that he is preparing for battle, it is impossible to light a fire casually in the barracks, so there is no way to provide him with meat and cooked food. However, Chu Liang added a portion of pickled cowpea for him.

Even if it's just simple and rough food, Shan Jing feels like eating delicacies from mountains and seas.

"General Yi, Mrs. General." Shan Jing saw them coming in, put down the dry food, stood up and saluted them respectfully with court etiquette.

Yu Qianqian clasped her fists in return, "I didn't expect Mr. Messenger to do as the Romans do."

Shan Jing paused for a moment, then smiled gently, "Madam made me laugh, I just learned some etiquette of big men, so I'm a little foolish."

This person feels very comfortable, and he is harmless to humans and animals without a trace of malice.

Yu Qianqian's eyes fell on his fingers. On his right thumb, he was wearing an amber ring.

"Where, the envoy is more proficient in the etiquette of the dynasty than the little girl, I am really ashamed of the little girl." Yu Qianqian smiled back at him politely, "This time for peace, it is very much in line with my husband's wishes. After all, harmony makes money, and it does not hurt. People, the best of both worlds."

Looking at the things in the tent again, he didn't seem to be carrying anything other than an inconspicuous long whip on the case.

"Is this the whip for riding a horse?" Yu Qianqian picked up the long whip on the case, and it felt comfortable in the hand, as if it was made of some animal's fur.

Shan Jing's eyes hesitated, "Exactly, this whip was originally given by my father, and I like it very much, and I never leave it."

Yi Jingchen took the whip carelessly, and tugged at it, "The quality is good, what is it made of?"

Shan Jing concealed the coldness in her eyes, and there was always a gentle smile in her eyes, "The general has good eyesight, this is made by my father specially using the skin of the golden rhinoceros."

"Golden rhinoceros? And golden rhinoceros?" Yi Jingchen raised his eyebrows, "Is the horn made of gold?"
