He, Puchen can't escape the charge of "rebellious officials and thieves".

"Your Majesty can even do this kind of thing, I don't want this kind of friendship between monarch and minister!" After Pu Chen finished speaking, he turned around and fell into the night.

63, 63.

A day later, Xie Kun arrived in Luoyang, accompanied by more than a dozen carts of rare treasures and dozens of stunning beauties.Originally, King Zuo Xian didn't want to give Xie Kun this face, but when he heard that the prime minister of Nanjing had personally brought more than a dozen carts of "repentance gifts" and some beauties from Nandi offered them, he relented and held a banquet that night to welcome Xie Kun. Wash the dust.

As soon as Xie Kun arrived, the Nanjing Mission, which had no leader at all, suddenly had a backbone.For half a day, Xie Kun met many members of the mission without touching the ground, and made many arrangements.Because Pu Chen and Wen Tao are both ordinary personal guards, and they have changed their appearance, they have not received any news. Even Qi Dai has no chance to meet him alone because he is not Xie Kun's confidant, but he will attend the evening meeting after all. Therefore, Pu Chen and Wen Tao were secretly arranged to attend the banquet together as close servants.

Beiyan's banquet didn't have the elegance of Nanjing at all. When a large piece of barbecue was served and a big bowl of wine was served, the people of Beiyan were already eating and drinking, without paying any attention to the group of people in Nanjing Frowning and looking at the bloody barbecue in front of him, he looked trembling and unable to do anything.

Sitting in the hall is King Zuoxian. Compared with King Huben and Khalil that Wen Tao has seen, this man is short and fat. He has neither King Huben's martial arts nor Khalil's strategy. Ren is now Beiyan's most capable character.The majestic Beiyan went from being strong to declining in an instant.If in the battle between Liangzhou and Wuchang at that time, it was Nanjing who was defeated, I am afraid that there is no place to stand now.Sitting next to King Zuo Xian is the Da Yan clan that Pu Chen and Wen Tao have seen before, and today he is dressed up again, looking really beautiful from a distance.Judging by the degree of intimacy between her and King Zuo Xian, it is likely that she has secretly communicated with the song.

After drinking for three rounds, Zuo Xianwang said to Xie Kun: "This time Prime Minister Nanjing came here in person, and brought a lot of treasures and women, with sincerity!" He raised his glass and drank it down.King Zuo Xian naturally spoke Jie language, and there were translators in the mission to translate it for Xie Kun.

Xie Kun raised his glass and said: "Your Majesty, I care about the good relations between the two countries. The two countries have been at war for a long time, and their lives have been devastated. If they can turn the war into friendship, it will be a great contribution to Beiyan and Nanjing."

King Zuo Xian put down his wine glass and said: "We agree to negotiate a peace, but we have to settle an account before negotiating a peace. Last time your prince tricked our young Wulu Da Chanyu into a dizzy, and finally made our big order Yu killed! How can this account be settled?"

Xie Kun's face was a little cloudy, and he tentatively said: "I have already learned about this matter. Our acting king of Nanjing is the hero of this peace negotiation. Is there any misunderstanding about this matter?"

King Zuo Xian just wanted to get angry when he heard the words, Da Yan pressed his chest lightly, and said slowly: "What misunderstanding can there be? It's very clear. Ask the people in your mission, except your representative Wang, who else killed our great Chanyu?"

This woman's voice is slightly low, with a little nasal sound, which has a unique style.Pu Chen understood Jie language, and his eyelids twitched.

Xie Kun hesitated again and again, as if he said with difficulty: "If it really happened on behalf of the king, we should make amends."

"How do you make amends?" Da Yan said slowly.

"Gold, silver, jewellery, beauties, brocades and silks, if not enough, we can also make some concessions on the territory." Xie Kun said cautiously.

As soon as King Zuo Xian heard that he could make concessions on the territory, his eyes lit up, but the Da Yan clan was unmoved, and he turned sideways and said a few words in King Zuo Xian's ear.King Zuoxian immediately changed his face when he heard this, and said: "We Beiyan people are bloody! We are not killed by others, but Da Shanyu. Da Shanyu is dead, and he must pay back the debt with blood!"

"This..." Xie Kun said, "In our Nanjing, there is a saying that 'you can't punish a doctor'. As a king, even if you do something wrong, you shouldn't pay with your life..."

"Bastard!" King Zuo Xian was furious, "Your prince is a treasure, but our Da Chanyu is a weed?" He drank the wine, pulled out the dagger from his sleeve, and stabbed at the table, "This matter, Unless your king pays for his life, don't talk about it!"

The Beiyan people who were present at the scene originally had a bad temper in their hearts. Due to the current weakness of the army, they had no choice but to negotiate a peace with Nan Jing. Seeing that King Zuo Xian was so bloody, they all echoed: "Pay my life!" "Pay my life!" "Pay my life!"

Seeing this posture, the members of the Nanjing mission were short of breath, and some civil servants quietly commented: "If it was really done on behalf of the king, it would be considered a great achievement in exchange for the peace talks between the two countries." Pu Chen He frowned, thinking that the court was extremely treacherous, if he and Wen Tao didn't come this time, the life of Dai Wang might really be ruined by this group of people.

Xie Kun listened to everyone's thoughts, and said with a sad face: "Our Nanjing is a country of propriety and righteousness. If the king did such a wrong thing, we should kill relatives with righteousness..."

"No!" Xie Kun hadn't finished speaking when someone from the table stood up and said impassionedly, "It's been more than two months since I have worked hard on behalf of the king, and I have a very speculative relationship with Wulu Da Shanyu. How could I kill someone for no reason? This matter is terrible. There is something strange. If the Dai Wang has been wronged, who can bear the responsibility?"

"Qi Dai!" Xie Kun shouted, "You don't have the right to speak here. Now that the peace talks are going through ups and downs, His Majesty is worried day and night, and if there is a slight mistake, the flames of war may reignite. Who can take this responsibility?"

Because of Xie Kun's obstruction, Qi Dai's words were not translated to Beiyan people by the translator at all.In this huge palace, the only words to speak up for the king were silently lost in the noise.Qi Dai had too many grievances in his chest, seeing that everyone in Nanjing easily accepted the condition of righteousness and extermination of relatives, and had a happy chat with Beiyan people, so he didn't stay any longer and left the banquet early.

Pu Chen glanced at Wen Tao, they saw everything in their eyes, and confirmed what they thought in their hearts.Xiang Xie came here this time to take the life of the king.They looked at the crowd with cold eyes, and their eyes lingered at the Beiyan people. Who is the person who colluded with Xie Xiang?

The banquet didn't end until midnight.Bei Yan's attitude has improved a lot since Nan Jing promised Dayi to destroy his relatives. Not surprisingly, the peace talks will soon continue.After the banquet was over, Wen Tao pulled Puchen's sleeve, signaling him to stop for a while, while he himself pretended to be walking casually past the place where Zuo Xianwang and Da Yanshi sat just now, taking advantage of people not paying attention, Bending down, he picked up a small thing and hid it in his sleeve, and pulled Pu Chen out of the hall.

The two returned to their residence, closed the door, and looked at each other in unison.They see the same thing in each other's faces, and the other has something to say.

"Taotao, you go first." Pu Chen said.

Wen Tao took out the little thing he had hidden just now from his sleeve, and shook it in front of Pu Chen.Seeing that it was the earrings worn by the Da Yan family at the banquet just now, with pearls and corals on them, Pu Chen thought that Wen Tao had paid attention to this beautiful Da Yan family several times, and said in a strange way: "What's so special about this?" Is it worth it for you to hang around in front of me?"

Wen Tao snorted, and pointed out the hook of the ear pendant to Pu Chen: "I found it by accident just now. Look, the ear pendant is not a hook, but a small adjustable iron ring."

Pu Chen didn't know anything about women's accessories, and said with a blank face: "So what?"

"I read in the book that girls from Beiyan have pierced ears and wear earrings since childhood. We women in the Central Plains believe in body hair and skin, and we will not wear earrings if we receive them from our parents, especially the daughters of aristocratic families. Ear piercing is a big disrespect to parents." Wen Tao pointed to the ear pendant and said, "Look at this ear pendant, the iron hook is not used on it, but an adjustable iron ring, which means that the woman wearing the ear pendant has no ears. There was no hole, so I had to use an iron ring to clamp the earlobe. I guess, she is afraid that people will see the clues, so she wears extremely gorgeous hair accessories every time, probably because she is afraid that others will find out the secret of her earlobe.”

Pu Chen came to a sudden: "The Da Yan family is not from Beiyan." He paused, then smiled, "Taotao, why do we always have a good understanding? This is what I wanted to tell you just now."

"Oh, how did you know?"

"What she said." Pu Chen smiled slightly, "She speaks Jie dialect very well, but there are shadows of Chinese in the details. This can only be understood by people who are proficient in both Chinese and Jie dialect. Those present, Apart from me, probably only translators can hear a thing or two."

Therefore, Bei Yan's hidden stake here is the Da Yan family!Pu Chen and Wen Tao looked at each other, and then fell into deep thought. This woman is from Jing Dynasty, and she probably came from a wealthy family. , she probably hid the fact that she was from Jing Chao, otherwise it would be difficult to gain a foothold in Beiyan.

"The great family...could it be the Chen Jun Xie family?" Wen Tao asked softly.

"It can't be wrong." Pu Chen said firmly, "She must be familiar with the secret ways in the palace, so she can make this design to frame Brother Jun Wei. Moreover, she can secretly communicate with Prime Minister Xie and even His Majesty. With His Majesty's heart, if it is not for the same It is impossible for him to be completely relieved of the Xie family."

"Then our next step..." Before Wen Tao finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.They lived in a remote place, except for Qi Dai, almost no one would come, Wen Tao asked, and it was indeed him.As soon as he opened the door, Qi Dai's complexion was as frosty, his eyes flicked past Wen Tao, and looked directly at Pu Chen.

Feeling the chill in Qi Dai's eyes, Pu Chen folded his arms and said, "What advice does Minister Qi have to offer?"

"Do you care about the matter of acting as the king?" Qi Dai went straight to the point.

"Before I answer, can Minister Qi tell me why you want to take care of this matter?"

"I and the acting king,
