Chapter 847: The Great Prince of the Northern Xiao Kingdom
In the palace, Dada couldn't take the city after a long time, his temper became more and more violent, and his moves gradually became chaotic.
Shangguan Li wanted to wear out his patience, just waiting for the right moment. The wooden sword in his hand hit Dada's wrist like a snake out of a hole. Dada felt pain and the scimitar fell to the ground with a clang. Shangguan Li kept the wooden sword in his hand, and the tip of the sword was directly against Dada's throat. He said coldly: "You lose."
Dada never expected this result. His face turned pale and he felt that he had underestimated the enemy.
The officials and envoys in the hall were so shocked that they opened their mouths wide. This young man looked so young, but he was so powerful that he could fight against the enemy's scimitar with a wooden sword and finally win.
Shangguan Li put away his sword and retreated, neither humble nor arrogant. If he had taken a real sword today, Dada's life would have ended here.
Shangguan Li was just angry at the other person, thinking that he was a child holding a wooden sword, so he used the child's toys to defeat him.
Dada was slapped in the face in public. He was furious and felt so much pain in his wrist that he couldn't recover for a long time.
Jiang Fenghua couldn't help but clap his hands and praised, "Good swordsmanship."
At the same time, thunderous cheers broke out in the hall, and everyone praised him: "As expected of General Shangguan's grandson, he is really amazing!"
Dada was stunned by the scene before him. He clenched his fists, his face turned pale, and he tried hard to recall how he had just lost.
The opponent had been luring him to attack, but his body was too light. It turned out that he was deliberately holding a wooden sword to show weakness so that he would relax his vigilance and fool him with a broken wooden sword. Dada picked up the scimitar on the ground and said, "Start again, use a real sword."
At this time, a cold voice came from outside the palace door, "It's embarrassing."
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man in white standing outside the palace gate. He was tall and slender, with a face as pale as snow, and long hair that was loose and untied, looking casual and lazy.
When Dada saw him, he took the initiative to step forward and kneel on one knee, "Greetings, Grand Prince."
Everyone was stunned. What eldest prince? Was there another envoy from the Northern Xiao Kingdom coming to the Great Zhou?
Jiang Fenghua and Xie Shang looked at each other. What they didn't expect was that the eldest prince of Beixiao Kingdom entered the palace with Princess Kang and King Kang.
The ministers also did not expect that King Kang and the eldest prince of Beixiao Kingdom were together, and they seemed to have a good relationship.
Yueshi took Xie Kang's arm and walked gracefully into the hall.
Walking in front of the emperor and the empress, Yue Shi said to Xie Kang, "Your Highness, don't introduce our relationship."
Xie Kang raised his head and looked at the emperor and empress on the high throne, "Your Majesty, this is my princess Yue Liyin."
Xie Shang stared at Xie Kang. In such an occasion, he certainly couldn't say that King Kang had been under house arrest. The Yuezhi also had connections with the royal family of the Beixiao Kingdom, and they were unwilling to pretend to appear in public?
Xie Shang said in a deep voice, "I thought that Aunt Wang and Uncle Wang had not seen each other for a long time, so they must have a lot to talk about, so I did not ask anyone to bring Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang to the palace to attend the banquet. I also planned to hold a family banquet to entertain Aunt Wang Kang another day."
Jiang Fenghua stared at the man next to Yue Shi. She had seen him before. It was today when he and Yue Shi entered the palace. She watched him from afar at that time. Although she couldn't see his appearance clearly, she remembered it now.
The man in white bowed to Xie Shang and said, "The eldest prince of Beixiao, Xiao Shang, greets the Emperor and Empress of Great Zhou..."
Hearing this name, Xie Shang unconsciously clenched his fists.
Xiao Shang explained: "Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand. My name is different from yours. My name is the "Shang" in Yaoshang."
Jiang Fenghua chuckled and said, "Waist injury. Does the eldest prince have a bad waist? Why would he choose such a name? It's really funny."
The corners of Xiao Shang's lips twitched, and he added: "The 'Shang' in 'Guo Shang' means death."
Jiang Fenghua added: "It means early death. It's really strange. What kind of parents would give their children such an unlucky name? In our Great Zhou, the word death is very taboo."
Xie Shang was also given this name by the late emperor when he was born. Later, the empress dowager insisted on changing it to Shang. The corners of his lips twitched. His intuition told him that the eldest prince of Beixiao Kingdom came prepared, and his name was even more strange.
Xie Shang said coldly: "The eldest prince of the Northern Xiao Kingdom did not come with your envoys, but came to the palace with my aunt Queen Kang. I am surprised that he came uninvited."
Xiao Shang explained, "My ancestors had a relationship with the natives in the northwest. The prince of the Great Zhou married a Yue clan member. When I came to Shengjing this time, I knew that Aunt Liyin would also come to Shengjing. In order to have someone to take care of me on the way, I came with Aunt Liyin, so I didn't come with Dada and the others."
He clearly had other plans. So if the Northern Kingdom plotted against the Great Zhou in the future, King Kang should also have some credit for it.
Xie Kang just found out that the Yuezhi clan and the Beixiao royal family are related. He calls her aunt. Could it be that someone from the Yuezhi married into the Beixiao kingdom?
Xie Kang had been married to Yuezhi for twenty years and had a son and a daughter, but he didn't even know that someone from Yuezhi had married into the extremely cold Beixiao Kingdom. Xie Kang always claimed that he was thinking about the Great Zhou and wanted to avenge the Emperor Shengzu.
Does he know that he has become a joke?
After many twists and turns, Xie Kang connected the eldest prince of Beixiao Kingdom with the Xie family and they became relatives.
Xie Shang just wanted to curse, what nonsense.
When Jiang Fenghua stared at Xiao Shang's eyes, she unconsciously clenched her sleeves. Why did this man's eyes look so strange? She always felt that there was an elusive emotion in his eyes, like surprise or relief.
Jiang Fenghua didn't understand why she had this feeling. It might be because she was a reborn person and her heart was older than it is now. When she looked at the essence of things through reality, she always thought more and broader.
Xiao Shang smiled slightly and said, "I came here specially to ask for a drink. I hope the emperor won't be unwilling!"
What this means is that he is also a guest, but his way of appearance is different. Doesn't the emperor plan to welcome him as well?
Xie Shang said solemnly to Wu Xin, "Please allow King Kang, Queen Kang, and the Great Prince of the Northern Xiao Kingdom to sit down."
What on earth did Xie Kang get into in the northwest?
Jiang Fenghua had no memory of the Northern Xiao Kingdom or Xiao Shang in his previous life. He only knew that a few decades later, the Northern Xiao Kingdom invaded the Great Zhou and successfully took over the territory of the Xie family of the Great Zhou.
As soon as Prince Kang and Princess Kang sat down, Xiao Shang also sat in the corresponding seat.
He suddenly said, "If Dada was inappropriate just now, please forgive me, Your Majesty. Dada has a rough temperament and it is easy to offend people. But I will control them in the future. To express my apology, why don't I cheer you up and play a nice song to make amends for you."
He took out the bamboo flute from his waist, put it to his lips and started playing it as if no one was around.
Jiang Fenghua stared at him. These outsiders were too familiar and too self-righteous! What was he planning?
