So in other words, Lord Sima has not yet received any positions and titles?"

Dongfang Shuo asked.

The eunuch nodded: "Your Majesty is happy at this celebration banquet, and the reward of Lord Sima, who is the first meritorious, is naturally to be the finale." ”

Hearing this, Dongfang Shuo hooked the corners of his mouth.

He leaned closer.

"Then do you think he will be a deacon?"

Dongfang Shuo asked.

And this ordinary-sounding question startled the eunuchs.

The eunuch hurriedly took two steps back and looked at Dongfang Shuo with a look of horror.

"Lord Dongfang, where did you hear this kind of thing?"

The eunuch asked.

Dongfang Shuo smiled coldly: "What, can't you say it?"

"Of course not!" the eunuch said busily, "Zaizhi ......" he suddenly lowered his voice, "Zaizhi is only fifty-two years old now, and he is in the prime of life, how can he say that someone is going to replace him?"

"Oh?" Dongfang Shuo paused, "Today's Zai Zhi is only fifty-two years old?"

I still remember that when I met Dongfang Shuo, Sima Changyun was already in his seventies.

And if it weren't for Dongfang Shuo, Sima Changyun would have been able to do it for a long time.

In this comparison, the current 52-year-old Zai Zhi is indeed far from the age of stepping down.

"Isn't it this year?"

Dongfang Shuo narrowed his eyes, and after muttering to himself, he arched his hand to the eunuch, "Let it go, I lost my words, and please don't be embarrassed by my father-in-law." ”

"Hey, it doesn't matter if I'm weird or not, as long as you don't go elsewhere. ”

"Yes, thank you father-in-law for the reminder. ”

"In that case, our family won't ......"

As he spoke, the eunuch turned around and prepared to leave.

But before the eunuch could fully turn around, Dongfang Shuo immediately spoke: "Father-in-law is slow." ”

"What else does Lord Dongfang have to say?"

"I also want to ask, didn't the city lord of Tongzhou also go to the celebration banquet, and what position is he?"

"Oh, before I left the palace, that lord had already started to prepare, and it should be almost time at this time, he will go to the south with the Dongfang lord. ”

"Let's go to the South together?"

"That lord seems to care about Dongfang Lord, your staff, so after learning that Dongfang Lord was going to be the Kuidou County Guard, he also took the initiative to ask Ying to go to the south, and now he has been named the governor of the three southern counties. Originally, no matter what he said, he should be a second-grade official in the imperial city. ”

"Father-in-law doesn't have to say that, in fact, sometimes, it may not be a good thing to go away. ”

"If only you could think so. ”

My father-in-law nodded.

And at this moment, there were several neighing sounds from outside the inn.

The father-in-law turned around and looked at Dongfang Shuo.

The bandit was dressed in a Washington suit that didn't match his temperament, and he stepped down from the luxurious frame.

"Dongfang ......" The bandit opened his mouth as soon as he came up, but suddenly realized something, so he hurriedly changed his words, "...... Big brother, we can be together again after that. ”

"yes. ”

Dongfang Shuo replied lukewarmly.

Seeing this, the father-in-law was also surprised by the bandits' name for Dongfang Shuo, but he still didn't think about it in the end.

So, he took his leave.

When the eunuch left with the guards, Dongfang Shuo didn't say much to the bandits.

He didn't want to condemn the bandits as useless, after all, Sima Jiulong was not talking about fuel-efficient lamps.

At this time, what Dongfang Shuo cared about the most was still going back and forth, wasting a few days in vain.

Soon, the group set off, got into the luxurious carriage given by the emperor to the bandits, dismissed all the servants and grooms, and ran out of the imperial city with three spirit horses by Ji Henghu.

This carriage is very conspicuous, and people nearly a hundred feet in front of it will take the initiative to give way.

The road outside the city was wide, and the carriage could run as much as it wanted.

But the carriage should be speeding up, but for some reason Dongfang Shuo felt that the speed was getting slower and slower.

"Master, there was a convoy blocking our way. ”

In front of the carriage, Ji Henghu Road.

Dongfang Shuo didn't move, so he asked, "Who is it?"

"Looking at the carriage, it should not be an ordinary person, and each carriage has a family emblem with the word 'Ji'. ”

"The word 'Ji' Jiahui?"

Dongfang Shuo paused for a moment.

At this time, the bandits on the side suddenly spoke: "Ji's words, it should be the former Zaizhi, Ji Lao and them." ”

"Hara Jae-chou?"

"Just before I left the palace, the old man said a lot of things that I didn't understand, but I did understand one word," the bandit paused, and then recalled it a little, and then said very jerkyly, "Tell the old man to return home." ”

"Say goodbye to the old and return to the hometown?" Dongfang Shuo wondered, "At the age of fifty-two, he will return to the old man?"

However, at this moment, Dongfang Shuo is not questioning.

He just thought of something else, and maybe history was slowly advancing.

"Sit still, I'll go down and see. ”

After speaking, Dongfang Shuo got up and opened the curtain with his own hands.

He got out of the carriage and looked up, and even when he saw three or four carriages lined up on the avenue, each of them was very luxurious, but it was not as good as the one that Dongfang Shuo was sitting on.

And as Ji Henghu said, the front of every carriage is hung with the family emblem of the word 'Ji'.

"Your Excellency is the Kuidou County Guard, Lord Dongfang?"

An old gentleman who looked to be in his early fifties took the initiative to greet Dongfang Shuo when he saw him.

When Dongfang Shuo saw this, he immediately gave it up.

"I haven't taken office yet, so I don't dare to call me an adult," Dongfang Shuo said, "But looking at the senior's bearing, it should be the ruling of the dynasty, Ji Lao, right?"

He didn't know the other party's name, so he could only call Ji Lao respectfully.

Ji Lao smiled and said, "Now that I have resigned from my position as the chief executive, I am relaxed, and I am already a mortal person. ”

"Yes, congratulations to Ji Lao over there. ”

"What's the joy of?"

"How can you not like to stay away from strife?"

"Hahaha, it's rare for a young person to be able to say something as insightful as you. ”

"Ji Lao has a good reputation. ”

"I don't know if Lord Dongfang is going, but I'm going to Kuidou County to take up my post?"

"Naturally. ”

"Oh, in that case, it's so nice over there. ”

"Great?"

"I am returning to my hometown, naturally I want to return to my homeland, and I will go to my hometown in the south, I wonder if I will be lucky enough to be able to walk with the Lord of the East?"

"So, Elder Ji stopped our carriage in order to go along?"

"Yes. ”

"I thought Ji Lao was going to embarrass us. ”

"How so?"

"Since Ji Lao looks up to us so much, we are naturally honored, Ji Lao, please. ”

"Lord Dongfang, please. ”

After talking, the two got into their own carriages.

After Dongfang Shuo sat down, he patted the wall of the carriage.

"Let's go. ”
