However, before Empress Yang's reply arrived, the team transporting grain and grass had already arrived in the northwest city.

Liu Man, as the envoy who commanded the northwest garrison, came out to greet him together with Ji Li, the envoy of the Northwest City, and the leader of the Rakshasa Allied Army stationed in the Northwest.

Not surprisingly, I didn't see Nangong Yi's figure.

The Northwest Jiedu made Ji Li a little older, with a standard square face, at first glance he looked decent and upright, but as long as he carefully observed the conversation between him and Ling Mo, it could be found that Ji Li was in his early thirties to become the Jiedu envoy who managed several states and counties on the border for a reason, he was kind on the face, but in fact he was an extremely difficult person to speak, but such a person was good at observing people's hearts, and inadvertently completed the action of doing what he liked, and a conversation could make the other party remember him, especially remember him well.

Looking at him, Lin Jue suddenly had a question, what would such a scheming person do when facing the cold Nangong Yi?

Can a person like Nangong Yi really "get along" with him?

"Huh? ...... is this girl? ”

After greeting Ling Mo, Ji Li's gaze fell on Lin Jue, who was silent all the way beside him.

She was plainly dressed, ordinary, and very faced, and at a glance, she couldn't guess which lady in Kyoto was.

But no matter which young lady it is, to put it mildly, even if she is a geisha in the Qinglou, she can follow the side of the sixth prince Ling Mo, and her status cannot be underestimated, so when facing Lin Jue, even if he doesn't know anything about her identity, his attitude is still very enthusiastic. At least. On the surface to be visible.

"Jiedu makes the adults know, this is not an ordinary girl, she is the lord of Yunshu who has just been canonized by His Majesty."

The contractor on the side smiled and spoke at the right time.

"It turned out to be the Lord of Yunshu. Xia Guan has been in this place for too long, and he knows very little about the outside world, so he hopes that the county lord will forgive him......"

When Ji Li heard this, an expression of sincere fear instantly appeared on his face.

"The festival makes the adults stationed on the frontier, protect the safety of the people of the great cause, and work hard, so why should you take this little thing to heart?"

Lin Jue pursed his lips and smiled faintly.

The attitude is neither humble nor arrogant. Be courteous.

Ji Li was slightly stunned, and then said loudly, "The county lord can have such a mind. It is a blessing in the cause. ”

"You see that our festival makes adults talk more~"

The contractor joked half-jokingly.

"His Royal Highness the Prince's words are wrong, I am speaking from the bottom of my heart, how can I say that I can speak?"

Ji Li immediately raised objections.

When everyone heard it, they knew it was a joke. They all laughed

While Ji Li was talking to the others. Lin Jue subconsciously moved to the side, keeping a certain distance from everyone appropriately, intending to focus on observing the surrounding environment of the northwest capital.

Unlike the General's Palace, the architecture of the Northwest Capital is more local. The high stone steps, the stone pillars carved with the local totems, and the tall stone walls make the capital stand out in the vast desert.

After the group sat down in the main hall, a maid in a red and yellow cloth shirt entered with a variety of dishes.

Lin Jue looked at the roasted whole sheep in front of him. Suddenly I lost my appetite.

It's too greasy.

These days, all she eats is all kinds of meat. It was either a large piece of mutton or a large piece of beef, and there was not a single piece of greens, and after a few days, she felt that she had accumulated a layer of oil all over her body.

"Master Ji, why don't you see General Nangong today?"

Lin Jue was helpless in every way, and Ling Mo's words instantly lifted her spirits.

"Your Highness doesn't know that General Nangong received a secret order from His Majesty two months ago to leave the northwest for a while."

Ji Liyun replied lightly, and the expression on his face was not unusual.

Therefore, Nangong Yi has been missing for two months......

Lin Jue silently read in his heart.

Since it was the emperor's secret order, Ling Mo couldn't continue to ask, so he changed the topic to a relaxed topic, and the atmosphere in the hall became lively again.

Although the Tartars were repulsed, they were still waiting for an opportunity at the border, even if they deliberately chatted a little lightly, there was such a stubble, chatting and chatting, and everyone's topic turned to how to expel the Tartars.

"If you want me to say, against these Tartars, you should kill them all, and if you leave some back roads for him, then it will be a spring breeze blowing and rebirth!"

Ji Li said with righteous indignation.

"Who doesn't want to ......," Liu Man said with a smile, "It's just that these Tartars have always been good at attacking the east and west, and they live nearby all the year round, and they are familiar with the terrain, so if they want to drive them all away once or twice, I'm afraid it's not so easy." ”

"Liu Jingluo, it's not good for you to be so arrogant at a young age, what is a tartar? As long as the soldiers of our great cause come out, it is not a matter of being caught. And now with the assistance of the soldiers of the Rakshasa Kingdom, killing all these people is just around the corner! ”

Ji Li continued to be full of confidence.

Some of his subordinates in the hall also spoke up one after another.

Liu Man tugged at the corners of his mouth, and he didn't plan to argue with him on this issue anymore. Even if he was promoted from a deputy general to an envoy of economic strategy, compared with the envoy of Jiedu who ruled several states and counties, he was just a petty official, and there was no need to have a hard time with his boss. If Ji Li wants to blow it, let him blow it, and he has more important things to do at present.

"It's not just ......", Ji Li saw that no one raised objections, and said even more energetically, "Now His Royal Highness the Sixth Highness has sent food, grass and clothes to our soldiers stationed in the border, with these things as a backing, we are still afraid of what the barbaric Tartars will do!" ”

"Lord Ji's words, I will truthfully convey them to my father. I believe that after hearing this, my father will also be moved by the enthusiasm of the soldiers on the border. ”

Ling Mo smiled beside him and spoke.

Everyone also opened their mouths to echo, and for a while, their feelings soared, as if they had won the Tartars.

Lin Jue stared boredly at the glass of goat's milk wine in front of her in a daze, and a line of sight with an inquiring meaning suddenly stopped on her body, fleeting, and when she looked up, that sight had long since disappeared.

On the high platform not far away, Ji Li was taking the bronze four-cornered wine glass handed over by the maidservant and toasting to Ling Mo. There is an incomprehensible smile on his lips.

After toasting, Ji Li finally set his eyes on Lin Jue.

"The fact that His Royal Highness the Sixth Highness was able to come to this place in person has already shocked the lower officials, but what he didn't expect was that the county lord of Yunshu was also a heroine among women, which really made the lower officials admire! Come, county lord, the lower official will give you a drink. ”

As he spoke, he held his wine glass high and walked towards Lin Jue.

The maidservant standing beside Lin Jue poured a glass of wine into her cup very respectfully.

Looking at the full cup in front of her, Lin Jue was dumbfounded for a moment, God, after such a big cup, can she still walk here tonight?

Liu Man, who was not far away, also discovered this, quickly stood up, walked quickly to this side, and said with a smile as he walked, "Lord Ji, such a big cup, what do you think scared the county lord into?" This cup, let's let the next county lord drink it first...... The right was used as a greeting gift. ”

With that, he raised his glass and prepared to drink it down. But he was stopped by Ji Li.

"Look at you, you just met with the county lord, and you're about to get married?" , Ji Li half-jokingly quipped, "What didn't the county lord say?" Liu Jingluo, what are you anxious about? ”

Although he used a joking tone, Liu Man's face turned red instantly after being snatched away like this.

In fact, his face has always been not thin, and he often looks like a hippie smiling face on weekdays, but in front of so many people, being said like this, the object is still the county lord, which is no longer a matter of thick skin. In front of the prince and many generals, he showed goodwill to the county lord in public, which ...... If you think about it in a bad way, this can be positioned as ill-intentioned!

The six highnesses of the people did not speak, but he hurriedly blocked the front. Thinking of this, Liu Man was instantly depressed. Isn't he in such a hurry? The other party is the number one person they care about, if Nangong Yi knows that he didn't make a move when Lin Jue was bullied, he didn't dare to imagine what the consequences would be!

"I received Lord Ji's wishes, but I really don't know how to drink. Why don't you let me toast you with tea instead of wine—"

Seeing this, Lin Jue also spoke.

By the way, he cast a grateful glance at Liu Man.

"The county mainly replaces wine with tea?"

Ji Li glanced at her meaningfully, and then turned to face everyone, "Everyone, I think the reason why the county lord wants to replace wine with tea must be because he didn't feel the enthusiasm of our northwest men, everyone hurry up and let the county lord drink this cup of wine?" ”

When the words fell, everyone coaxed again, and the atmosphere was strong, as if Lin Jue didn't drink this glass of wine, he would look down on the soldiers who risked their lives to fight for the great cause of the country.

Lin Jue hesitated.

She drinks well, but the spirits in the northwest are not the same as the wine in the Central Plains, the wine here is not only easy to drink, the most important thing is that the stamina is very large, she had heard Nangong Yi say that if you don't drink all year round, as long as you have a small cup of belly, after half an hour, even a man in the prime of life is weak.

And now in front of her, it was a whole big cup, she drank it rashly, it was all right, if something happened, what should she do?

Ling Mo also saw Lin Jue's embarrassment, so he stood up, poured a full cup for himself, and said loudly, "The people of the great cause can live and work in peace and contentment, all thanks to the efforts of your brothers, I will first represent the people of the great cause, and I will give you a cup of glass!" ”

Seeing this, the attention of the people who were coaxing was diverted, and they all raised their wine glasses, but just when the atmosphere became harmonious, Ji Li said again, "His Royal Highness Sixth is sympathetic to our hearts, we all know it, but what about it, this toast, the emphasis is on coming one by one, we will respect the county lord first, and then come to drink with His Royal Highness when the county lord is finished!" In this way, we can reflect the sincerity of our Northwest men, brothers, do you say it's good! (To be continued.) )
