Chapter 30: Goodbye Him
I never thought I'd see him again.
After a night's rest, early the next morning, An Lu and I entered the palace as envoys. Lian'an is our second move, so he didn't enter the palace with us this time, but stayed to take care of Mu Die.
With the document Shi Mo gave me, we were very well received by the king of Linzhao in the council hall. It was the first time for me to step through the gate of the council hall and stroll forward in front of the eyes of the courtiers from all directions, and I couldn't help but feel a little fresh.
When I arrived at the center of the main hall, I wanted to see what the monarch of Linzhao looked like, and I felt that it was not respectful enough to look directly at the monarch of a country, so I glanced at the monarch of Linzhao very vaguely.
As the father of twelve children, this monarch is inevitably too young, he looks like he is twenty-seven or eighteen, and his age is definitely not more than thirty years old.
In the eyes of the courtiers, I saluted Emperor Wen of the Anlu Dynasty, and said in unison: "I have seen Emperor Wen." ā
Emperor Wen smiled with a smile on his face, raised his hand, and said, "No need to be polite, the two of you came here from Yueqiu thousands of miles away for Linzhao, and they have worked hard." ā
Today's An Lu has changed from the cheesiness of the past, and has turned into a well-mannered son, and listened to him reply to Emperor Wen: "The four kingdoms of Qiyun have been commensurate with brothers for many years, and it is really right to help each other. Linzhao has something, my country is very worried, so I sent the two of us here to share the worries of Emperor Wen, although I have no official position, but I know a little about the art of ambiguity," An Lu paused, then glanced at me sideways, and continued: "This brother next to me, although he is young, but he is a disciple of Qing Fan, a close disciple of Qing Fan, and he has learned a lot, and he can build a yƬ one or two for Emperor Wen. ā
A piece of crepe crepe came out of An Lu's mouth, which made me feel a little awkward and mismatched for those who were used to An Lu's poisonous tongue. Looking at Emperor Wen again, when An Lu said that he had no official position and only knew the art of Qihuang, Emperor Wen's face was a little bad, but when he heard that I was a disciple of Qingfan, he became very interested in me.
Emperor Wen said: "Oh, I have long heard of the name and merits of Yueqiu Qingfan, but I have never seen his real person, and I didn't want to see his disciple today." ā
I smiled and saluted.
If a person has no achievements and a reputation, he will definitely be criticized in a foreign country, just like at this moment, I am standing here with the light of a green fan, and someone stands up unpleasantly, it is a courtier of some age, he said: "Yueqiu, this looks down on me Linzhaoguo? Sending two hairy boys who have not dried up to come here, what can you worry about for you? This is a riot, what is this art of disambiguation? Is Yueqiu deceiving me and no one? ā
In front of Emperor Wen, we deducted this 'despised 'look down' hat, if we sit down, we don't say whether we have a life, I'm afraid it will cause a conflict between Linzhao and Yueqiu.
An Lu beside me threw me a look, as if to say, 'Let me see your ability', I rolled my eyes in my heart, but with a pleasant smile on my face, I said: "The little envoy is answering the question of Emperor Wen, but I don't know that the courtiers in the Linzhao Hall can speak at will in front of the king, is it possible that the Linzhao country is so big, and the courtiers are so casual?" Moreover, this next to me is my Yueqiu Divine Doctor, An Lu, even my Yueqiu Jun asked him to diagnose the pulse has to be personally invited, this time he can come here, I Yueqiu Jun took a lot of effort to make him nod, and my Shi Qingfan, who has long retired but does not ask about political affairs, is now sending me here, which shows my sincerity in Yueqiu. I didn't think about it, I Yueqiu had a sincere heart, but in the mouth of this adult, it became a bully, dare to ask where the reason is, is this the hospitality of the Lang Lang Linzhao! ā
Since he wants to buckle a hat for me, don't blame me for buttoning him a bigger hat, I am not a person who is in the shadows, and I am disrespectful to my courtiers and not disrespectful to Emperor Wen, I don't think Emperor Wen will do anything to me and An Lu.
A sonorous and powerful sentence made the courtier take a step back and pointed at me, "You... You... It's nonsense! ā
When the Emperor finally spoke, he slapped the arm of the chair and shouted, "Presumptuous! Don't quit yet! ā
The courtier flinched and retreated.
An Lu raised an eyebrow at me, his eyes full of appreciation. I said in my heart, when I first went to the battlefield to deal with those soldiers, it was even more difficult than this, and this little thing was nothing, but it was just a verbal prestige.
After the courtiers retreated, Emperor Wen turned his head to look at me, and said lightly: "The disciples of the green fan are really not ordinary, the two envoys who have been rushing for several days must be tired, it is better to go to the apse to rest first, there will be a dinner in the palace later, and the two envoys will participate together." ā
The two of us bowed to Emperor Wen and exited the hall side by side. After exiting the hall, a palace man stepped forward and led us to the apse.
This leader palace is also a master with a lot of words, I only asked what is in this apse, and he gushed all the way: "Prince Lan Mu is the right person, this apse is the sub-hall of the council hall, and it is a place specially set aside by the king for various countries to rest." The two envoys are from Yueqiu, you are considered late, the envoy of the Northern Underworld has arrived two days ago, and the envoy of Jieyan has also arrived yesterday, at this time they are all resting in the apse. Don't say that the slave talks a lot about right and wrong, Lan Mu Gongzi, you are good-looking enough, but it is still worse than the envoy of the Northern Underworld, the slave has never seen a person as good-looking as the envoy of the Northern Underworld in his life, since the envoy of the Northern Underworld came, this apse has been much more lively, and many palace people have made all kinds of excuses just to look at him. ā
An Lu chuckled, "Then you really have to see it." ā
An Lu's smile made people listen to some disdainful feelings in it, and when he heard it in the ears of the palace people, he was very unconvinced, and said: "The slave is not a boast, and the two envoys will know when they see the son." ā
So with an inquisitive mind, we met this legendary messenger of the Northern Underworld.
It's the person I never expected to see here, and the person I never want to meet again, he took away my important jade pendant and made Biqiao die miserably, he is Liu Ye.
The fan of the peach fan in my hand has been opened, and my heart is a little twitching, I stared at Liu Ye deadly, but I saw the latter smiling evilly.
He said, "Little one, don't come unharmed. ā
If it weren't for An Lu dragging my arm hard, I would definitely be in my heart again at this time, and I couldn't calm down.
Feeling the burst of heat coming from An Lu's palm, I stared at Liu Ye for a long time before slowly raising the corners of my mouth, gritting my teeth but pretending to be calm: "It turns out that the envoy of the Northern Hell is you." ā
He squinted at An Lu's hand holding me, his smile was a little deep, and he said as if talking about the weather: "This dress is lined with you, and it has become more and more eye-catching after not seeing you for three years." ā
An Lu made an abnormal move, he pulled me behind him, blocked me in front of me and opposed Liu Ye, he said: "You look a little unman and not a woman, but it's a pity that you are a dignified seven-foot man, my brother is not a man, the envoy of the Northern Hell should find someone else." ā
Criticizing Liu Ye's appearance in front of everyone, this An Lu is really... I can't help but applaud him.
Other people might be angry because of what An Lu said in public, but Liu Ye is not someone else, I saw his smile getting deeper and deeper, which made me feel a chill down my spine, and he said: "What a big smell of vinegar, in this case, you should pay close attention to your brother, don't be careless and be taken away by others." ā
