Chapter 30 Mingyue

The Master said that he should not do to others what he does not want others to do to him. Xue Chongxun could not do everything he did, but he would be a little self-disciplined because of this.

Killing a father and taking his wife is a hatred of the same level. Even if he can treat the war criminal Fu Lu in his heart like this, the wisest way is to kill Fu Lu first and then steal his wife, otherwise the hatred will be difficult to resolve.

But Xue Chongxun could not kill Fu Lu at this time, and he had to protect his safety.

Fu Lu was supported by most slave owners in Tuyuhun, and he could maintain regional stability; not to mention that if Fu Lu was killed in the Tang Dynasty, the peace talks would become a flash of clouds in a flash, and the war between the two sides would continue, which was not in line with Xue Chongxun's established strategy.

So he sighed softly and tried to restrain the desire in his heart.Greed seems to be an innate viciousness that cannot be eliminated and can only be restrained with reason.

But restraint is so fragile. When the banquet ended, Murong Yan said softly: Da Xiang is drunk, can Duke Wei send him back?

Fu Lu had many followers, so of course there was no need for Xue Chongxun to send him back. Xue Chongxun heard the implicit sound...

Thinking of Murong Yan's intimate action of touching her legs with her feet (although it was just a misunderstanding, but he thought it was that way), now she invited her to give her someone as an excuse, so Xue Chongxun easily thought wrongly.

He looked at Murong Yan's unhappy gaze, guessing that the graceful figure under the marten top must be tempting, and his square inch was already a little messy.

Xue Chongxun pondered for a moment and thought to himself: It’s just a delivery, at most the atmosphere is a little ambiguous, and it doesn’t hurt you.

So he nodded in agreement, stood up and went to support Lu.

Unexpectedly, Fu Lu woke up at this time and said in a daze: The banquet has been over?

The seat has ended.Murong Yan said.Xue Chongxun seemed to see some disappointment in her eyes. What was she disappointed? Didn’t she want to see Fu Lu wake up so soon?

Murong Yan said again: The Duke of Wei is just going to send you back...

Xue Chongxun couldn't help but say: I'll give it to you.

The Duke of Wei treated each other with courtesy and was well-polite, which really made us feel at home.Murong Yan stared at Xue Chongxun's face while he was talking.

Xue Chongxun avoided her warm eyes and laughed fiercely: I hope the two countries will reconcile for a long time and never fight each other.

The group came out of the lobby while talking.

The attendants in front were lying lanterns, and everyone walked through the corridor, bypassed Yimen and Xiao Qiang, and then left the state yamen.

Because the hotel is next to the prefecture yamen, not in the yamen.

The row of houses in the east were originally a tent for the past colleagues and imperial censors. There were usually a few officials from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works stationed, but most of them were vacant, so they were arranged to stay for Tuyuhun envoy Fulu and others.

When they entered the hall, everyone helped Fu Lu into the upper room in the north. Xue Chongxun also went in together. According to etiquette, he naturally had to drink a cup of tea and talk before leaving.

The pace of life in the Tang Dynasty was slow, and naturally, he was slow to interact with people and had many polite conspiracies.

Xue Chongxun also thought this was nonsense. A few months ago, the two sides showed that the army was fighting to the death, and Shancheng was in a state of cannibalism; now they are so polite and friendly to them.

War is not about justice, but about politics.

Politics itself is something that has nothing to do with good or bad, but in the eyes of most bureaucrats, it may be a tool for fighting for power and profit?

Is it still a habit to live in Bizhou?What about this house and the grassland tent?

Xue Chongxun asked kindly.

The houses in the hall are better than the old state yamen house. Behind a light screen is a warm pavilion for rest and sleeping, and there are several tables and chairs outside, all of which are available.

Fu Lu Yaoyao's head was flushed with alcohol and nodded quickly and said: Fortunately, it's not bad.

Murong Yan said with a smile: Thanks to the hospitality of the Wei Kingdom, everything is very comfortable. Staying here for one night will eliminate the hard work of the journey.

It's so good, so good... Xue Chongxun put down the teacup in his hand, but seeing that Fu Lu was already awake and it was useless to stay, he stood up and clasped his fists and said, "You should take a break earlier, it's not easy to visit once, so I'll spend a few more days in Shanzhou."It was getting late tonight, so I said goodbye.

At this moment, Murong Yan hurriedly said: When I met in Tuyuhun last time, Brother Wang invited Duke Wei to play chess, but do I know you only know Go, right?

Haha, the princess has a good memory.

Xue Chongxun smiled and said, "That's true. At that time, I met as a commoner and mistakenly thought I was asking me to play Go, so I said I knew it a little, and I almost got punished for deceiving the emperor."

Murong Yan said slowly with a smile: Brother Wang can’t play Go, I can.Lao Wei Duke personally sent him off and left after he came. We were sorry for him. Why don’t we stay and play a game of chess?

Her eyes almost never left her. Xue Chongxun felt a little extraordinary, but she greedily enjoyed this favor, and thought: Although it was a little late, it was just playing chess and Fu Lu was present, it was no big deal.

So Xue Chongxun agreed.

The restaurant was not short of cost, so soon the Xu Jun who was on duty brought the charcoal for heating and took Go and put it on several tables.

Fu Lu had drunk and didn't eat anything before. At this time, he asked someone to have a midnight snack and then sat in front of the table to watch the chess.

Xue Chongxun discovered that the Murong family is worthy of being a royal family. He is a very charming woman. He has accomplished the culture of the Han people. He not only writes beautiful and timeless characters, but also knows how to play Go.

This scene is very leisurely and elegant when playing chess with it. It is really a treasure stalk. The tea is still green in the smoke, but the fingers are still cool after the chess in the secluded window.

After a while, Xu Mai brought some refreshments and late-night snacks. Fu Lu invited Xue Chongxun to eat with him. Xue Chongxun politely declined and continued to play chess with Murong Yan.

At this time, Murong Yan saw Xue Chongxun frowning and was in a difficult situation, and she couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckled, and asked softly: Does Duke Wei like to play chess?

Xue Chongxun said in a long sigh: It depends on who to go with.

How to say it?Murong Yan looked at his face with great interest.

Xue Chongxun turned his head slightly, looked at the distance between Fulu with his light, and said softly: We are all thinking about the same chessboard, our minds are in the same place... Can you feel each other's hearts beating together?

Murong Yan's cheeks suddenly turned red, and she changed her usual graceful and generous expression and became very embarrassed.

Xue Chongxun was a little confused when he saw this: At first, she touched me with her legs and invited me here...

Could it be that I was wrong?

She suddenly stood up, and Xue Chongxun stared at her face in a daze: What's wrong?

Murong Yan said with an unnatural expression: The slave (Xu Jun) moved the brazier and it was a little hot. I went inside to change my clothes, and the Duke of Wei talked to Daxiang first.

Well... Xue Chongxun felt a little depressed.Is this woman enthusiastic and open, or is she aware of her character and ethics?Is it cold or hot?

Fulu asked while chewing: What is the outcome?

Xue Chongxun pondered: It’s not known yet, the princess’s chess skills are hard to figure out.

Fu Lu smiled and said: The Murong family admires the style of the Tang Dynasty, and there are many Han people in the royal city... There was a sudden bang!

The door was opened, and a guard rudely knocked open the door and said anxiously: There is someone on the roof!You guys, leave here quickly!

At this moment, a sudden sound was made, and a big hole was pierced from the wooden lattice window on the paper surface, and a cold cluster of arrows reached in and aimed at Fulu.Xue Chongxun reached out to touch the sword and shouted: Very sincere!

In an instant, Xue Chongxun saw the man who was pulling the string outside the window with bare head and no hair. He was a monk.

He suddenly remembered the ritual he heard on the road that day when he went to welcome the Tuyuhun envoy, saying that it was a monk invited outside the city?

But now he didn't care about thinking about it, and his thoughts flashed.

Fu Lu was so excited that he had completely woken up from the wine. He quickly turned over the table, and the tea cups and plates on his head fell to the ground, splashing fragments.

nail!A sharp arrow was nailed to the table, and the force penetrated through the table. The feathers at the tail were still accumulating and shaking, and the force should not be slighted.

The assassin attacked Fu Lu as soon as he made a move. I'm afraid it wasn't for Xue Chongxun... What did they kill Fu Lu?

The first strike was not successful, and it bought time for the guards outside the door. Seven or eight Tuyuhun people rushed in quickly. Some fought back at the window with bows and arrows, and some blocked the guards in front of Fu Lu and Xue Chongxun.

Soon the two of them stood together and let the guards protect them and walk out.

Xue Chongxun felt strange again and actually fought side by side with the former enemy leader...

At this time, a sound came from the roof, and everyone hurriedly looked up at the top and stared at the movements.

After a while, the tiles were unveiled, and Xue Chongxun even saw the white moon in the sky through the gap.

Arrows flew over, and the guards were waving weapons on their heads, but they were not very useful. Some people kept getting hit by arrows and screaming. Fortunately, there were more people below, and Xue Chongxun and Fu Lu were fine. Seeing that the door was getting closer and closer, it would be much less dangerous as long as they left the gate and reached the open space. The longer they dragged it, the closer they were to rescue.

Xue Chongxun suddenly said: Your princess is still changing clothes in the warm room!

Fu Lu Dao: Let’s talk about it before going out, the assassin was not for her.

Wouldn't it be troublesome if the princess was taken as a hostage?

Xue Chongxun said with a blank face.

There were no sniper rifles at this time, how can we save the hostages?

There was no one in Zhang Wulang's arms that could penetrate Yang with hundreds of steps. At this time, the bow and arrow were not as accurate as the gun.

Or one arrow shot to kill... it was a shattering.

Fu Lu said in a hurry: Don’t worry, go out first and ask someone to come in to save him later.

Everyone is dead in a while!Xue Chongxun said anxiously, "You guys, hurry up and rush over!"

But the guards were all from Tuyuhun, and no one listened to Xue Chongxun's orders.At this time, everyone walked under the door frame and left the shooting range on the roof. Who would want to run to the middle of the house to die?

Xue Chongxun said to Fu Lu: Da Jiao orders quickly and ask them to save people!

Just then, the fight started outside the door, and some people wearing hats and black clothes mingled with the guards who were coming.

Some of the hats fell off, and you can see the bald donkeys being particularly conspicuous in the dim light. They are really a group of monks.

Moreover, these monks are as capable as the Shaolin monks in their impression. The Tuyuhun people who fought on horseback did not have the advantage, and the situation was very critical.

Fu Lu's panicked eyes widened his eyes and shouted: Protect me well, and he will definitely receive a great reward afterwards!

What happened?

A panicked female voice attracted Xue Chongxun's attention.

Murong Yan was wearing a long silk dress and appeared on the side of the screen in disorganized clothes, and she couldn't even wear them neatly.

There were already several corpses in the room, and there was still an undead who was howling there, which made Murong Yan's expression full of fear.

Don't come here!Xue Chongxun shouted loudly and pointed at the roof.

Seeing this, Murong Yan looked up and immediately understood the situation. She quickly bent down and said in a trembling voice: What should I do?

Her graceful demeanor has long disappeared, becoming as helpless as a little bird.

No matter how noble you are, you will still reveal your true colors in the face of violence.

Xue Lang, save me... She begged in panic.
