It was almost midnight, and there was still dim light in the room in the west wing. Princess Golden Knife must not have slept, because the shadow of her holding her cheeks was still cast on the window.
"Dong dong dong," there were three soft sounds. Before anyone could ask who it was, a man's deep voice sounded outside: "Don't talk, it's me."
Princess Golden Knife, who was staring at the candlelight with her chin in a daze, was suddenly awakened by the knock on the door. When she heard Meng Xinghe's voice outside, she frowned, thinking that it was already midnight, this guy touched her What was she doing in the room? Her father said that this guy seemed to have an indecent name as Mr. Hualiu in the Central Plains. Although she was not afraid of what Meng Xinghe would do in the middle of the night, she couldn't help but her face suddenly turned red.
"Creak,"
Although she struggled for a long time in her heart, Princess Golden Knife still got up and opened the door for Meng Xinghe. However, she leaned against the door to block Meng Xinghe from entering and said: "If you have anything to say, tell me quickly. I am not in the mood to spend the whole night with you." talk,"
How did she know that I would talk all night long? She didn't realize that I was still a careful person. Meng Xinghe raised his eyebrows. Just at this time, the four treasures of the study that he had ordered to prepare were brought by the servants of the Zhao family. He said, "Your Excellency, these are the things you have prepared." I've brought them all." Holding pen, ink, paper and inkstone in his hand, Meng Xinghe was speechless for a moment. Since he couldn't think of a better reason not to be rejected, he could only use his wisdom on the spot and said: "Do you want to get your horse back? Just let me in,"
This reason was perfect. Princess Golden Knife had been feeling sad about her beloved horse walking in the snow, and had been worrying about it in the house without falling asleep. Now that she heard Meng Xinghe's vow, she had no reason to refuse.
"Come in," he turned sideways to make way for an aisle, and Lord Meng Xinghe finally entered the Hu girl's house.
"Tell me, where is my horse? Did you and the man named Zhao Haoran secretly send someone to steal it for me? My father said that you are an upright man, but I didn't expect that you would do such an unscrupulous thing. He is really a sinister villain,"
Pouting her lips, Princess Golden Knife closed the door. She was not afraid that Meng Xinghe would do anything worse than a beast. After all, she was not a vegetarian.
Faced with her bloody spit, Meng Xinghe did not argue with reason. He just took out the inkstone leisurely and found that there was no water available to grind the ink. Finally, in the angry eyes of the Golden Sword Princess, he took out the inkstone that she had not seen before. The finished tea was poured into the inkstone tray.
"The rouge tastes good. I must have bought it from the merchants who go from Chang'an to the outside of the Great Wall every year." Seeing the cinnabar red on the edge of the cup, no matter how determined Master Meng was, he was slightly tempted, but he quickly took it back. Xin Lai, holding a brush in one hand, was drawing back and forth on a piece of paper. I couldn't figure out what he was drawing. He seemed to be very focused.
Maybe Meng Xinghe was too focused on painting, and he didn't talk to the princess next to him for a long time, or even look at her. This made the princess who let him into the house very angry, and the princess stayed by his side. After muttering for a long time, she finally found a stool and sat down. This was the first time she saw this man being so silent. When she was in the grassland, what she heard the most was that her father Khan, who now didn't care about anything in the Turkic country, was talking about it all day long. With a pot of strong wine, she babbled about this guy's name, saying that the happiest time in the world was drinking with Brother Meng, and the happiest time talking to him. She also always mentioned in her ears that if she could invite Brother Meng to his old man in the Turks He is no longer lonely. He also said that with him, the Turks will definitely become a race in the northwest that no one can compete with. Horse hooves can even step on the grass farther to the northwest. The princess is the proud daughter of the grassland. After hearing this remark, she had secretly determined to surpass all the men on the grassland in terms of riding, shooting, and courage since she was a child. Now she heard that her father, who used to often praise her, could never forget a Han man. Although she was in the grassland, her heart She had already gone to the Central Plains, for no other reason than to vow to compete with this man. Horse racing was just a small test. If she hadn't encountered her beloved horse being stolen in Heqing County, she would have defeated Meng Xinghe once at this moment.
Humph, let’s see what tricks you can play. I glanced at Meng Xinghe secretly. The princess was as quiet as a sleeping rabbit. However, she is usually a person who can sit still. Sometimes she even hunts a prey on the grassland. She could lie motionless on the grass for hours, but now she heard the man's even breathing in her ears, and she couldn't calm down.
Finally she couldn't help it anymore, because this stalemate was becoming more and more boring. The princess finally broke the silence and said: "Tell me, why did you come to me?"
The first time she used such an almost pleading tone in front of a man, Princess Golden Knife felt incredible. Is this still herself? Is this still the Princess Golden Knife who wants to surpass all men in the world? She kept asking questions in her heart, but her ears stood up. Waiting for Meng Xinghe's answer.
Ever since he entered this room, Meng Xinghe had been writing something on the paper with a pen, as if he was writing something important. But when Princess Golden Knife had just finished speaking, Meng Xinghe felt like he had jumped into hot water. The frog jumped out with a bang and said, "I want to use what I know to exchange something with you."
"What is it?" Princess Golden Knife frowned, naturally knowing that the thing Meng Xinghe wanted to exchange could even be said to be the most precious thing in her body, "please tell me your conditions first. I won't agree to anything lower."
"Haha," she is indeed a woman who does not suffer any disadvantages. No wonder the frontier has been expanding for so many years without substantial progress. This woman in front of me is really difficult to deal with. No wonder even Miss Du admires her.
"What I want to exchange is very simple. I just want to understand in my heart. As for the conditions, I think if I don't have to marry you, you don't have to marry either. Does such an excellent condition count?" As he spoke, Meng Xinghe's eyes tightened. Staring at the Turkic woman whose appearance was unclear in front of him, Meng Xinghe felt from her instant reaction that she was tempted by the conditions he told her.
Perhaps because Meng Xinghe had touched a sore spot, Princess Golden Knife murmured: "Tell me what you want to know." She obviously acquiesced to Meng Xinghe's conditions. In fact, how could it be possible for a proud daughter like her to roam the grassland? It is simply a shame to be easily used as a bargaining chip for marriage. Turkic women would rather die head-on than to back down on the important matter of marriage.
Meng Xinghe paused. It’s not that he didn’t know how strong the woman in front of him was, but she agreed to the conditions so easily. She must have not been willing to get married. Meng Xinghe, who was also reluctant at this moment, said: “I just want to know that the border is now During the war, the Turks suddenly asked you to come to Datang to get married. How did you convince Li Shimin?"
"Haha, don't think that Li Shimin is very talented and strategist. We need to come up with something. Don't ask me to marry you outside the Great Wall. Even if we let him return the dozen cities that he captured in the northwest of our Turks, it is not impossible." For Meng Xinghe's ignorance, the princess said disdainfully.
"What is that?" Meng Xinghe asked curiously. It would be unbelievable that the Turkic country could make Li Shimin give up the war by bringing out such a thing. You must know that when he went to Lingnan, the border war had already started. This damn thing How many soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were killed so easily?
Ignoring the doubts on Meng Xinghe's face, the Turkic princess said: "Anyway, you are about to become my golden sword's male slave, so it doesn't hurt to tell you. And you will know about this sooner or later. You can't change it by going to Turkic." He chuckled twice, and in Meng Xinghe's surprised eyes, he saw the Turkic girl stretching a pair of jade-white arms into her large blouse.
"Bronze mirror," seeing what Princess Golden Knife took out, Meng Xinghe touched somewhere on his body. There were two bronze mirrors that were exactly the same as Princess Golden Knife. One was given by Yuan Tiangang when he traveled through time. On the one hand, I got it from the saintess of Nanzhao Temple when I went to Lingnan. I kicked it on my body for so long that I still don’t know what these two things do. Even if it is used as an antique, it has no value.
Hearing Meng Xinghe recognize the bronze mirror engraved with dragon patterns and phoenix feathers that he took out in his hand, the Turkic princess said: "This quick thing has been secretly kept in our Turkic country for many years. It is said that with such a thing, you can Opening the Heavenly Palace where the Taiping Sect has disappeared for nearly a thousand years, many of the things Li Shimin has done over the years are actually to get these things together,"
Just like discovering the Peach Blossom Spring, I wanted to get in and take a closer look. I didn't expect that this thing had such a big secret. Meng Xinghe, who didn't know much about it, continued to ask: "What if these things never come together?"
"It's impossible. As far as I know, Li Shimin has one piece, and our Turkic country has one. There are only three pieces left to get these five things together. It is said that as long as you get these five bronze mirrors together, you can find the legend." In the Heavenly Palace that has disappeared for nearly a thousand years, do you know that even though my father Khan was secretly imprisoned by the Tang Dynasty, he would rather destroy the treasure than teach it to him, but now he wants me to take it to Chang'an and use it as a wedding gift. In exchange for returning you to the Turks,"
"I don't know," Meng Xinghe shook his head. Seeing the light bursting out from under the golden felt hat, he felt that the woman in front of him looked like a wild wolf.
"Forget it if you don't know. Aren't you a confidant of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty? Let him tell you." She slapped her mouth, and the woman's tone was quite joking, as if Meng Xinghe was an outsider from beginning to end, but He is a monkey being led by the nose.
She was careful in her speech, feeling that what she said tonight was already too much. Because of Meng Xinghe's agreement, the Turkic woman was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, stretched herself, and said, "Okay, this princess is already tired. Now that I have told you the truth you want to know, please don’t forget your promise. I, Jin Dao, hate men who break their promises the most in my life. I don’t want the person my father Khan falls in love with to be someone who goes back on his word. "
Is this an eviction order? With a self-deprecating smile, Meng Xinghe felt that after listening to Princess Golden Knife's words tonight, he suddenly realized: "Don't worry, I never talk to women, and I said I would not marry you. When the time comes, don't You are so shameless and you are relying on me." As he spoke, Meng Xinghe was about to push the door open and leave, but what he had written before was left on the table.
Curiosity makes women curious about strange things, and the things Meng Xinghe left on the table are no exception.
While he was out, presumably not coming back tonight, the Turkic princess suddenly grabbed what Meng Xinghe had written on the table, her eyes were blank, and she sighed infinitely: "Rogue,"
It turns out that what Master Meng drew with a brush before was nothing more than an erotic picture.
