Lao Li stretched his arm from the gap between the railings, barely reaching the corner of Zhang Fu's clothes.

He dragged Zhang Fu a little bit, pinched Zhang Fu's mouth across the railing, and poured two mouthfuls of water down.

The water flows out of Zhang Fu's mouth, and he has no response.

Lao Li shook his head and sighed: "Alas, another one is useless."

In the evening, the jailer gave each cell a meal one by one.

After the jailer left,

Lao Li yigulu dug out a branch hidden under the haystack. He squeezed between the two railings, tilted his head, stretched his arm hard, pulled out the two white flour steamed buns in Zhang Fu's bowl, and rolled carefully in front of him all the way.

He happily picked up the two steamed buns, blew the dust on them, put them in his arms and sat down.

"I'm afraid we won't be able to eat such a bun for a few days." He recited and ate a white bun.

Grabbing the second one, Lao Li looked back at Zhang Fu, who was lying there, and looked at the white bun in his hand.

After thinking about it, he finally broke off a small piece and put it into Zhang Fu's mouth.

"Can you swallow it? If you can't even eat the white bun, there's no way to save it. " He looked at the bloodless "neighbor" and added in a low voice, "aren't you waiting for someone to get you? If you don't, I'm afraid you won't be able to wait. "

After a while, when Lao Li almost gave up hope and planned to eat the remaining steamed bread with white flour.

Zhang Fu's jaw moved slowly at last. He chewed for a moment. The throat rolled hard and swallowed the food in his mouth.

Then the pale lips parted slightly.

Lao Li sneered, broke off a piece of steamed bread and stuffed it in for him.

"If you can eat, you can't die."

……

No saffron looked at the Han woman in front of her.

She frowned: "don't hurt me again. I'm afraid of you Han people. All of them are cunning. Zhang Fu is so tired that my sister scolds me severely. I dare not provoke you Han people any more. "

"Let's go!" She waved her sleeve and said, "for the sake of being a woman, I don't care about you."

The princess of Jin sitting in front of her, however, had no temper and was still smiling.

She stretched out her plain white hand and opened a small square box in front of her.

In this humble box sits a pearl the size of an egg. The Pearl on a piece of black flannel, Yingying gave birth to a soft light, which made the whole palace bright.

No saffron has never seen such a big and bright night pearl, surprised, unconsciously raised his hand.

Then she reflected that she was a little bit impolite, quickly adjusted her expression, and turned her mouth awkwardly.

"How can I harm your highness?" The princess of Jin said in a soft voice, "I'm here for peace between DA Jin and Xirong. His highness helped me, and he also helped countless people in Xirong. The Empress Dowager distinguishes right from wrong, and only praises and thanks you. "

There is no saffron eyes on the Pearl of the night, a few times, slightly loose in the heart.

She no longer chased people directly and asked, "you keep talking about peace talks, but your army of Jin has been attacking our town of Xirong these days, and you don't know what peace of mind it is?"

Cheng Chiba, the princess of the state of Jin, speaks in a soft voice, which makes people feel less hostile to her.

"If you and our two countries become countries of diplomatic relations, then the fight will naturally end. Isn't it just that everyone is happy?" Cheng Chiba got up and took two steps. He gently put the box in front of Wu Cang Hongzhu's eyes and crossed his hand to give a gift.

No saffron hesitated for a moment, thinking of the slap that the Empress Dowager fell on her face, she put away her love for money and pushed the box forward: "no, no, you can't find someone else, I can't take your things."

Cheng Chiba smiles, reaches out his hand and gently presses the box. "Your Highness is noble and makes me admire you. Although I haven't seen the Empress Dowager in the past two days, I have seen several powerful generals and ministers. No one is as incorruptible as his highness. "

No saffron eyes turned, the strength of the hands relaxed, "you first say, what do you want me to help do?"

"When I saw my sister for the first time, I admired her in my heart, but it was just a small gift. How could I bother my sister to do something difficult." Cheng Qianye sat down next to no saffron and shook her hand gently,

"but I heard that the Empress Dowager was always dignified and dignified, which made me feel a little uneasy. I just want to ask my sister to say something nice for me."

No saffron. Let's hear that. Finally a little smile.

"Well, that's nothing. The Empress Dowager will summon you tomorrow. Then I will find an excuse to enter the palace and say a few good words for you. "

Cheng Chiba gets up to thank him and leaves.Not long after, the nephew without saffron came in.

No saffron to see him appear at the door, quietly raised a sleeve cover, the small box into the sleeve.

"Aunt." Wuzang Peizhen was very casual in front of her and sat down on the chair beside her.

He stretched out his hand and straightened his sleeve. "Just now when my nephew came in, she met the princess of the state of Jin under the porch. She came to my nephew's house the day before yesterday. I didn't expect that even my little aunt would let her go today."

No saffron glanced at him: "Cheng Qianye, the princess of the state of Jin, is a person who can't be provoked. Don't pay any attention to her. My sister's attitude is still undecided. I've been hanging her for a few days, and tomorrow I'll call her. "

Wu Cang Pei really didn't care with a smile: "she didn't ask me to do anything, but asked me to leave some affection for Zhang Fu. I thought that my aunt had not made up her mind on this matter, so she had to keep the life of Zhang Fu. And I promised her

He touched his chin and remembered that the princess, who had just crossed the porch, nodded to him with a smile.

Don't hide the red flower: "don't worry about it. The men in Jin are as cunning as foxes, and the women must be as dangerous as snakes. According to me, the men in Xirong are only worthy of the women in the prairie. Pei Zhen, don't try to marry a Han woman like your uncles. "

"I don't know what to make up my mind. I just feel that although this woman looks as gentle and submissive as a Han woman on the surface, it gives people a feeling of unspeakable." Wu Zang Pei Zhen narrowed her eyes and thought for a while, and found the right words. "It's like an aunt. Even if she can't get angry, she has a momentum in her heart."

The next morning, Cheng Qianye was finally received by the Empress Dowager of Xirong Wuzang.

When the Empress Dowager Wu Zang looked at the young princess of the state of Jin, walking slowly from the door of the main hall, she was actually suppressing a wave of anger.

Jin Yue Hou, the ruler of Jin State, sent his younger sister to the peace talks, but at the same time sent his two generals to attack the border towns of Xirong.

At this moment, the Empress Dowager Wuzang just banned her son, intending to support the new emperor, and the Xirong Dynasty was in chaos. We really can't afford to go to war with the state of Jin. We really need this negotiation.

However, she was forced to bow her head and shake hands with the enemy who had just attacked her own city, which made her feel humiliated for a long time.

When the princess of Jin arrived as an emissary, the Empress Dowager didn't summon her immediately. She just wanted to cool her down, so that the young princess could make a mess and let her down.

However, the princess began to visit everywhere. In just a few days, she visited almost all the important ministers in the court.

In recent days, the wind direction in the Court changed subtly, and the courtiers began to believe in the sincerity of Jin negotiation. Many people advised her to meet the princess of Jin.

The empress dowager, who has been in charge of the government for many years, is a real politician. Although she is angry in her heart, she still has the grace to sit for Cheng Chiba.

No one in the state of Jin said, "is there a way for you to go up? How could you send a princess to do this

Cheng Chih Ye laughed: "it's just what other people say. I'm surprised to hear it from the Empress Dowager. We women are just bound by the secular world. There are many inconveniences when we act, but in fact, we are no worse than men. "

"When I was very young, I heard your name. I always admired the Empress Dowager and regarded you as a model for our women. What the lady said today must be a joke for me, a younger generation? "

Although she knew that Cheng Chiba's words were intended to praise herself, it really cut into the Empress Dowager's heart. As a woman, she had experienced many hardships along the way. Only she knew that she always despised those women who were self contemptuous.

This princess is really good at speaking. Don't hide empress dowager in mind to remind yourself, and this is a very stable person, don't underestimate her because she is young.

"The state of Jin has just robbed Zhengzhou and injured many warriors in Xirong. How can I trust your sincerity when I send you to negotiate now? " If the Empress Dowager didn't pick up Cheng Chiba, she went straight to the theme.

"Empress dowager, have you ever heard a word?" Cheng Chiba opens her mouth. Her voice is clear and her words are clear. She spreads them in the open hall. "There may be a knot between people that can't be solved. But between nations, there is no eternal enemy, only eternal interests. "

"There is no eternal enemy, only eternal interests?" The Empress Dowager did not hide chewing this sentence in her heart. If you haven't been in politics for many years, you can't really understand the meaning of these words.

"Besides, there is no deep hatred between our two countries. Zhengzhou is the land of our Han people. We're just asking for a refund. Now, my elder brother just wants to let the subjects in the territory recuperate and live and work in peace and contentment. He sincerely sent me to your country to rule with the empress dowager, so that we can have good neighborly and friendly relations. "

The Empress Dowager did not hide the potential meaning behind these high sounding words. Jin is a newly rising country, which has just expanded a large area of land. It takes time to stabilize the results, cultivate people's livelihood and strengthen national strength.Although she didn't want to sit by and watch this terrible neighbor grow stronger. But Xirong, because of the civil strife between the court and the hall, also needed a break.

It seems that we can only compromise temporarily for the common needs of the two countries.

"Since you and I have the intention of peace talks." "Don't hide empress dowager to open mouth," then please your troops on the border withdraw first. In particular, your general moqiao Sheng is so rude. If it wasn't for the sake of having a talk with you, I would have assembled our Xirong army and had a formal confrontation with him. "

In just a few days, the terrible general moqiaosheng of the state of Jin led a cavalry, without any supplies, each carrying only a few days of dry food. Like a steel knife, he drove straight into the hinterland of Xirong.

No one can stop her all the way. She has arrived less than 50 miles away from the capital. This is the main reason why the Empress Dowager finally let go of the negotiation.

Cheng Qianye took out a national document from his sleeve, which carefully wrote several treaties, and presented it with both hands.

A war without smoke of gunpowder started on this hall, from the morning to sunset.

Both sides haggle, you come and I go, until each other to finalize the details of each treaty.

To the moment of signature and seal, Cheng Chiba casually added a sentence: "by the way, empress dowager, I also want to ask for a person with you."

……

The heavy iron door of the prison, which is dark all day, opens with a babbling sound.

Lao Li raised his head and saw a group of attendants in bright clothes come in through the dim door. Among them was a woman in splendid clothes.

The woman didn't mind the filth of the prison at all. She quickly stepped down the steps and went straight to the door next to him.

The author has something to say: let's talk about the decision of Cheng Chiba's personal mission.

First of all, it must be a very wrong decision. As a monarch of a country, it is too impulsive to put himself in danger just to save a counsellor.

Only Mo Qiao Sheng can be convinced by her. If Zhang Fu is around, or Xiao Jin can't agree with her to go.

What I want to say is that Chiba looks like a brilliant and perfect person because of her system power. But in fact, she has her own feelings, and she will make irrational decisions on impulse.

In fact, we can see in history that many monarchs have made unwise moves. For example, the typical King Huai of Chu went to the state of Qin with his own will, and the result was certainly very bad. Because of Guan Yu's death, Liu Xuande did not listen to Zhuge Liang's advice. He insisted on taking his troops to revenge and was burned to the camp.

But just because they are flesh and blood, there are various possibilities in their lives.

What's more, the state of Jin is still just a small country, and Cheng Qianye is different from the great kings who live in the temples.

Finally, I'd like to name Zhang Fu. Mr. Zhang is still innocent. How did you go to the wrong place.
