The panic and uncertainty in her tone made Pang Tong almost kneel down for her: "Her Royal Highness the princess is serious, you are the lord, the villain is just your subordinate, if you have something to order, your subordinates should not ask for the word." ”

"Senior brother, I, I actually want to ask you for help and invite the teacher to attend tomorrow's meeting......" Liu Yan was a little hesitant, she knew that her request was a little weird, as Xu Shu's boss, she only needed to give the next notice, and the relevant people would wait until the boss's house for a meeting tomorrow, and the subordinates would definitely come. But what Liu Yan is afraid of is that the teacher will have an awkward relationship with her, and Xu Shu will be absent, then the rift between her and him will be clear, and there will be no room for reversal. She didn't want to do this, but she wasn't sure if Xu Shu thought the same way, so she wanted to ask Pang Tong to bridge the gap.

Pang Tongyi knew what role he needed to play when he listened. He bowed down at the moment: "The subordinates understand, please rest assured that the princess will come with Yuan Zhi tomorrow." ”

"Then I was relieved. Brother, go back and prepare, I'll listen to you tomorrow. Liu Yan replied in the affirmative, was in a good mood, and finally smiled.

Pang Tongyi went out but sighed for a long time, and ordered the house slave to drive directly to Xu Shu's mansion. Xu Shu was dealing with official business, and when he heard the door say that Pang Tong was visiting, he also threw away the matter in his hand and went out: "Shiyuan is here, but what's the important matter?

"Yuan Zhi! You are sitting at home, but this news is really well-informed! I also just got the news, but you have already guessed it. If I go down further, what else will I rely on to eat?" Pang Tong said deliberately jokingly.

"Hehe, Shiyuan, you don't want to sell Guanzi, what kind of news is it worth you to come here with me personally?"

Pang Tong stretched out his hand to stop: "Wait, before I tell you the news, I want to tell you something else, today I will go to see Her Royal Highness the Princess, guess what, Her Royal Highness the Princess actually condescended to the dignity and begged me to help her do something!"

"She begs you? How could she ...... What the hell is going on?" I heard my old friend say that his apprentice begged him for help. Xu Shu's heart tightened for no reason, did the disciple encounter any big trouble? Otherwise, how could she use such a strict word? What difficulties did she not tell herself, how could she ask Pang Tong?

Yes, it was she who deliberately snubbed her in the past few days, making her think that she would not help her anymore, so even if something big happened, she didn't dare to open up to herself again.

Hey, stupid, why are you so bold! Why are you so domineering in front of others? Am I really that man-eating beast that will hurt you? I am your teacher! In this world, I should be your closest person, right, why do you always see me like a mouse meets a cat?

I'll admit that I was impulsive, and I shouldn't have used such strong language to force you to agree to give up celibacy. But that was a few years later, and it wasn't something you were in a hurry to do right now, so why were you cowardly again after throwing down that cruel word?

Xu Shu was speechless and choked, the reason why he treated Liu Yan with a cold treatment in the past few days was actually a helpless move after the matter had been stiffened, why couldn't he see it in vain!

Pang Tong saw Xu Shu's embarrassed face, and knew in his heart that his friend had a pimple in his heart, but this was a private matter between their master and apprentice, and as an outsider, it was really inconvenient to say anything. Therefore, he had no choice but to say on a case-by-case basis: "The princess begs me, and tomorrow you must be invited to attend the proceedings of the princess's mansion." ”

"Hmm, what are you talking about, what is she begging for?" Xu Shu didn't react, and asked again stupidly.

Pang Tong thought that he couldn't pronounce clearly, so he also repeated it in a wooden manner: "The princess begs me to ask you to be present at the meeting of the princess's mansion tomorrow to discuss how to deal with Cao Thief's next move." ”

"She begs you, please invite me?" Xu Shu thought that his ears were behind his back, and said sneeringly.

"That's what she said, and that attitude was so sincere that she sent it to me, and scared me so much that I almost knelt down for her! Yuan Zhi! There is a contradiction between your master and apprentice, and I don't want to find out what is going on, but you can't let me be a pond fish, do you? Do you really want me to prepare a sedan chair tomorrow and carry you into the princess's mansion? Don't embarrass me, okay? I promised in front of the princess that you will definitely attend tomorrow, even if I don't go, you have to go! I don't care what your reason is, anyway, you must appear at the gate of the princess's mansion with me tomorrow!" Pang Tong said a lot, thinking that he had made the cause and effect clear.

In fact, Xu Shu didn't listen to a word, he only heard Pang Tong say that the princess begged him to invite him to the princess's mansion tomorrow. He only listened to this one, and the others were selectively filtered. Only this one sentence invaded his mind, invaded his consciousness, and exploded a white mist in his mind. Now, his mind was so full of chaos that he couldn't think of anything. The only thing that kept echoing in her ears was this sentence: "She begs me, please be sure to appear in the princess's mansion tomorrow!"

Xu Shu was so stunned by this sentence that he couldn't think of anything else. It was not without conflicts between him and Liu Yan before, and even sometimes he didn't realize that there was a conflict between them, Liu Yan had already taken the initiative to think of an apology, and it seemed that it had always been like this. But there has never been such a begging of others to be lobbyists and to be peaceful.

What does this mean? It shows that she is really afraid, afraid that if she comes to the door in person or finds some excuse to make peace, she will be blocked back. Therefore, I begged Pang Tong to come, which made Pang Tong embarrassed. When other masters and apprentices quarrel, he is caught in the middle, and maybe he is not a person inside and out. But the boss begged in such a low voice, he didn't want to come, he had to come.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but say apologetically to Pang Tong: "Shiyuan, let you laugh." I'll arrive at the princess's mansion on time tomorrow. ”

"Yuan Zhi, we are also old friends, I understand your temper, you are very concerned about the princess's affairs, I and several others have seen this, there is a sentence I don't know whether to say or not. Pang Tong glanced at Xu Shu's face and sighed.

"Don't beat around the bush. Xu Shu waved his hand: "Between you and me, there is something hidden." ”

"Then I'll leave it at that. Pang Tong pondered his tone for a moment and asked hesitantly, "Are you too concerned about the princess?" or should I ask you this, are you concerned about the private affairs of Her Royal Highness the princess?"

"Sort of......" Xu Shu thought about it, the matter of marrying or not marrying someone is indeed quite private.

Although you are the teacher of Her Royal Highness the Princess, she is a princess and a woman after all, and you are a big man...... Ay...... No wonder...... A girl's private affairs, how can you ask lightly...... "Deputy Pang Tongyi, you are in trouble, you are in trouble."

"I ...... She ......, "Xu Shu wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it." He can't tell Pang Tong the truth. The princess wants to be single, so she makes him angry. This seems to be vaguely like a princess's **, and it is a bit awkward to ask her to reveal her heart to a big man...... Ay...... It's too late to say anything, the rift has already been done, what can he do? Apologize? He can't open his mouth!

"Even if you are her teacher, there are some things that she would rather tell the maid and her sister than tell you the truth, Yuan Zhi, you are really a big trouble! You should go to the princess's mansion early tomorrow and apologize to the princess earlier! I won't say more, your master and apprentice are your own people......" Pang Tong pouted: "Since the princess's words have already arrived, you have heard it." My mission is complete. You promised me that you would definitely attend the meeting tomorrow, then I won't send someone to pick you up tomorrow, you can come to the door yourself!" Xu Shu was so embarrassed behind him that he couldn't lift his head.

As a result, at the regular meeting of the princess's mansion the next day, Pang Tong was the first to arrive, Yin Guan was the second to arrive, Huang Zhong, Kou Feng, and Zhao Yun were the front and rear feet. Liu Yan stretched her neck in anticipation of being able to see Xu Shu's figure, and when people came one after another, but when they didn't see Xu Shu, Pang Tong was also anxious, and said in his heart No! You even dare to let my pigeon go! The boat of friendship will capsize! If the princess convicts me of inability to work, do I have a place to appeal!

Liu Yan looked at each other, but Pang Tong was so anxious that he was about to be injured, so he couldn't help but stand up and hugged his fist at Liu Yan: "My subordinates go out and have a look." ”

As soon as this sentence came out, Liu Yan hurriedly interrupted: "No, no need, I asked the teacher not to use it, he, he has other important things to do." ”

Pang Tong really scolded Xu Shu from head to toe at this time, damn Xu Shu, you dare to release Lao Tzu's pigeons, you wait for me, I won't clean you up, I will write the word Pang upside down!"

However, just as he poked Xu Shu's villain, Liu Yan was no longer willing to wait: "The ...... of the ranks" had just opened his mouth, and the outside newspaper came in to say that Master Xu had arrived! Immediately after, Xu Shu appeared from a distance around the corner, and Liu Yan was so excited that everyone stood up! The teacher is here! The teacher is really here!

When Xu Shu slowly approached, everyone present found that there were two subordinates behind him, carrying something on one side, covering it with a cloth, which was not real. Seeing this, Pang Tong thought that Xu Shu had given a big gift to the princess in order to make amends, and suddenly felt that after Xu Shu accepted this apprentice, his brain was also funny. In such a public place, with so many people here, are you sure you want to make a fool of yourself in public? Don't you think the crowd of onlookers is a bit too much?

Pang Tong thought boredly, but Xu Shu was already too old for him to come in, and without waiting for Liu Yan to speak, he rushed to give her a gift: "My subordinates are late, please forgive the princess." ”

"Ah, ah, no, no, it's great that the teacher can come! I thought you wouldn't be able to catch up!" In order to fulfill the lie, Liu Yan could only continue to lie.

I didn't think that Xu Shu actually nodded and agreed: "Yes! The subordinates also thought that they would not be able to catch up, but fortunately they still caught up! Shi Yuan wants to talk about the affairs of Xiliang and Shuzhong today, it will not work without this thing, so the subordinates are also worried about whether they will miss the princess's major event, and now it seems that it is really a coincidence, the time is just right!"

Pang Tong somehow lay down the gun, at this time he Zheng Yong's questioning eyes looked at Xu Shu, but Xu Shu didn't have time to pay attention to him, a pair of eyes stayed on the things he brought, his fingers stroked, and the cloth covered on it slipped off instantly, revealing the true face inside.

At this moment, all the people at the scene were shocked, what is this? Is it a landscape map? It has grown so big, I really have never seen a landscape map drawn with a pen. But this pair brought by Xu Shu can only be painted with a pen, and it is only one night, where can he find an embroiderer for him? Even if he can find an embroiderer, this is not one or two embroiderers.

Not to mention Pang Tong's surprise, all the people who saw this work were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths, and Kou Yan was even more excited and burst into tears: "Old, teacher, you, you are actually ......"

"The subordinates were fortunate enough to live up to their lives and drew this landscape picture. I would like to invite Her Royal Highness the Princess and all of you present to take a closer look. Xu Shu bowed to the end.

All the generals present admired Xu Shu's intentions, such a huge landscape map, from the early collection of information, to the later production of zuò, the effort to spend is immeasurable, I didn't expect Xu Shu to bring such a treasure today, this is simply the gospel of the general!

Huang Zhong was the first to laugh: "The military advisor's shot is really extraordinary, this landscape map must not be made in a short period of time, the old man admires it!"

"Yes, yes! Xu Junshi's landscape map is really well drawn, clearly marked, where and what, it is simply clear at a glance, how much first-hand information needs to be collected!

Xu Shu bowed: "The subordinates made this map, just to let Her Royal Highness the princess and everyone here be able to intuitively see the current military situation in the Xiliang territory, the subordinates are only auxiliary, and the hardest thing is Shiyuan, thanks to the sufficient information he has collected, I have no way to complete this landscape map." The subordinates are only responsible for drawing it, and it is still Shiyuan who has the final say on what to draw. ”

Pang Tong lay down again, and said in his heart, is there such a thing? You and I have never confessed, and you dare to say this, are you not afraid that I will not help you and let you goof? Who wants you to give credit?

Liu Yan was very happy at this time, and walked over and looked up at the pictures on it up closely: "Teacher, are these all drawn by you one by one? It looks completely invisible, I thought it was an embroidered screen! You have worked hard, sit down quickly, and we will start to discuss the specific details." Senior brother, you can start!"

Pang Tong came back to his senses just now at this time, Nima, all the eyes in front of him were focused on Xu Shu and the landscape map, and now they want to present it themselves, how many of them can listen to it?
