After solving Hu Yanlie, Chu Jinmo began to work on the management of Baishui City. I saw that he was busy with affairs, and I didn't want to bother him too much.

On this day, I took Doris to the plum grove to water and loosen the soil. This piece of plum forest was given to me by Chu Jinmo, and I often come here to water the plum trees and loosen the soil, watching the saplings grow day by day, and I am very much looking forward to it.

Today, I am wearing a Yuexi costume, a curved deep coat, a purple long skirt mopping the floor, the sides of the robe are inlaid with gold thread brocade, and the robe body is decorated with thunder patterns and heavy diamond patterns. It was very inconvenient for me to work, so Doris took the kettle from my hand and said to me, "Master, let me come!" ”

I handed her the kettle and sat in the gazebo to watch her water, Doris since Helian Rui came to Yuexi, the two of them have relied on, and this little girl often has a smile on her face.

It was afternoon, the cool breeze was gusting, the sun was so stinging that I couldn't open my eyes, I squinted my eyes slightly, and fell asleep by the gazebo with my hands on my head.

Wake up from a nap to find yourself shrouded in shadow, untouched by the sun. I stretched and called, "Doris, have you watered everything?" ”

Doris stood respectfully beside me, winking at me. I felt strange, and when I looked back, Chu Jinmo was actually standing behind me.

He didn't know how long he had been standing, fine beads of sweat oozing from his face, and his skin was slightly red, protecting me from the sun.

I exclaimed, "You've been standing here? ”

Chu Jinmo nodded, "Seeing that you were sleeping deeply, I didn't want to quarrel with you, and I was afraid that the sun would hit you, so I simply stood here." ”

Doris whispered, "The king has been standing here for an hour! ”

I sighed lightly, took out a silk handkerchief and handed it to him, Chu Jinmo took it but did not wipe the sweat, his eyes swept over the Yuexi clothes on my body, and said lightly: "You are very suitable for Yuexi's dress." ”

I looked down at my clothes and smiled, "It's just a matter of following the local customs." ”

Chu Jinmo wanted to say something, but finally didn't say it.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, I changed the subject and said, "I heard someone praise you the day before yesterday. ”

Chu Jinmo sat down in the pavilion and said strangely: "How do you praise me?" ”

I said, "You are tolerant and tolerant." I don't see joy in my life. For food and clothing, he did not hesitate to give it to others. You won't be angry if someone disagrees with you. ”

Chu Jinmo said: "The more you pay, the more you receive, and only those who know how to unite the clan can be respected. ”

I have always known that Chu Jinmo is a very tolerant person, but I didn't expect that his way of being a man is also applicable to the way of being a king, and he is more suitable for leading Yuexi than Chu Anguo, who does not know how to advance or retreat.

Under the leadership of Chu Jinmo, the Yuexi people, who were originally scattered, began to become stronger, and the surrounding small tribes showed signs of being gradually annexed by Baishui City.

I drank two more glasses at the banquet, my head ached, and I took a short break in the carriage. Suddenly, there was a commotion outside, and I asked Doris to ask what was going on.

Doris reported back: "Master, someone wants to take refuge in Yuexi." ”

I lifted the corner of the curtain and looked out, only to see a scholar-like person, dressed in green clothes, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, stopped in the middle of the road.

Helian Rui stepped forward and scolded: "Who are you, you dare to stop my master's carriage!" ”

The title of the book hurriedly said: "I heard that Miss Lan from Baishui City, Yuexi, is a smart woman, and I specially came to take refuge. ”

I lowered the curtain and let Doris get out of the way, telling Helian Rui to bring this person back to Whitewater City to settle down. If Yuexi wants to develop now, it is natural to recruit talents, and this person seems to have read books, so it is okay for him to be a clerk. So the scholar followed my carriage into Whitewater.

A few days later, the palace maid came to invite me, saying that Chu Jinmo invited me to the main hall to discuss matters. After I arrived at the main hall, I found that the Xiongnu had sent a messenger, Chu Jinmo frowned slightly, and there seemed to be some problem.

When Chu Jinmo saw me walking over, he beckoned me to his side, and I asked the Xiongnu envoy, "I don't know what the envoy commanded?" ”

The Xiongnu envoy said: "Our Xiongnu ran away with a spy, and someone saw him enter Baishui City, and you handed him over." ”

I'm confused, although Baishui City is not as heavily guarded as the big cities in the Central Plains, but it is not that you can come when you want to, you can leave if you want to, you have to clear the customs documents when you enter and leave the city, besides, why did the Huns' spies come to Baishui City?

I said slowly, "I'm afraid there is a misunderstanding in this matter, right?" ”

The Xiongnu envoy snorted coldly: "I'm sent by Da Danyu, not King Zuoxian!" There's nothing wrong with that! If you don't hand it over, when the army arrives, you will be burned! ”

My heart jumped, if I didn't hand over people, I naturally couldn't afford to offend the Huns, and the Huns didn't look at it at all.

But if someone really comes to take refuge in Yuexi, if I hand over the land, who will dare to take refuge in the future?

I looked at Chu Jinmo, he shook his head at me slightly, I immediately understood what he meant, I turned my head to the Xiongnu envoy and said, "Shangguo handed over people to me in the west, and I will definitely hand it over." But this person is not from Yuexi, he doesn't listen to my orders, I can't do anything about him, this matter has nothing to do with Yuexi, I can't deal with it. ”

The Hun envoy blew down his beard, and was about to be angry, so I continued: "Don't be angry, messenger, I think otherwise, I will open the city gate to welcome the king, and you yourself will go and arrest this man." ”

Chu Jinmo remained silent and didn't say a word, and the Hun envoy lowered his head as if considering what I said.

"However, if you enter Whitewater City to capture the criminals, you will definitely disturb the other tribes," I sighed lightly and said, "I am barbaric in the west, and I am afraid that the army will be frightened if it goes deeper." In case you are scared of the messenger, how can I explain to Da Danyu? ”

The Xiongnu envoy groaned: "This? ”

I saw that his mind was relaxed, and immediately said: "And the army of the king division is deep in the mountains and old forests, the people you want to arrest have already run away, and you can't catch them, so it's better to withdraw." ”

The Xiongnu envoy thought for a moment and said, "You have a point. ”

I said lightly: "The body of the envoy's daughter, you can't go deep into the mountains and dense forests for a few prisoners, and be cold arrows by barbarians!" ”

The Xiongnu envoy stood up and waved his hand and said, "That's it, they like to go wherever they like, anyway, they are not really the Xiongnu people." ”

After sending off the Hun envoy, I breathed a sigh of relief, turned my head to Chu Jinmo and said, "It's so dangerous! ”

Chu Jinmo's eyes flashed, and he smiled lightly: "I don't feel in danger." ”

I wondered, "You trust me so much?" ”

Chu Jinmo looked directly at me, "This world was originally obtained because of you, and it's no pity to lose it!" Besides, I know that you will never let people go so easily. ”

My heart warmed that he trusted me so much, and I felt that the courage on my shoulders was heavier.

I said: "Actually, the Xiongnu are just looking for an excuse this time, and they want to rule the west." If the army is allowed to penetrate deep into Whitewater City, whether it is for the purpose of catching criminals or not, whether it can be captured or not. Fake the way, and stew the Yuexi people together, and there will be no trouble! ”

Chu Jinmo said lightly: "Wasn't this sent back by you in a few words?" ”

I said: "The Xiongnu envoy lost a good opportunity to destroy Yuexi, he went back this time to restore his life, and we can live in peace for a while." ”

After the Hun envoy left, I asked Helian Rui to investigate the suspicious people who had entered the city in the past few days, and finally found out that this person was actually the Tsing Yi scholar who stopped my carriage in the middle of the road and followed me into Baishui City.

I summoned someone to summon him for questioning, and after this man entered Whitewater City, he had no merit and no popularity, and wandered the streets all day long, doing nothing.

When I saw him again, he was still dressed as a scholar, although he still couldn't hide the Confucianism revealed in him.

He stood with his head bowed down, waiting for my question.

"Who are you?"

"Villain Feng Rong."

"Are you a spy from the Huns?"

When Feng Rong heard this, he hurriedly knelt down and bowed to the ground, "The villain is wronged, the villain is by no means a spy!" ”

I said coldly: "Stand up, make it clear, if there is a lie, I will cut off your nose!" ”

Feng Rong's whole body was shocked, and he shivered, and he raised his head to lift me, as if he didn't believe that a girl under twenty could be so ruthless. As soon as he made contact with my gaze, he immediately bowed his head and bowed again: "The villain will never dare to deceive Miss Lan!" ”

"The villain was originally a Han Chinese, originally from Hedong, and wandered all the way to the Xiongnu because of the flood in his hometown. Because the villain had read books and had some knowledge, he stayed in the Xiongnu court to serve the nobles. Although the villain was in the Xiongnu, he did not dare to forget the teachings of his homeland, so he never gave the Huns the idea of harming the Han. ”

"Later, Daduwei betrayed King Zuoxian, because I was an old acquaintance with Daduwei, so I was implicated in this matter, and I was afraid of being killed, so I fled overnight. But I don't have a place to go, when King Chu was a strategist at King Zuoxian, he was praised by King Zuo Xian and said that King Chu was generous. I think King Chu will definitely be able to take me in, so I came here! ”

Feng Rong knelt on the ground, although his body was shaking, but his words were orderly and unchaotic. not only explained his origin clearly, but also praised Chu Jinmo without a trace, which shows that this person is indeed a talent.

I asked, "What will you do?" ”

Feng Rong said: "The villain is good at clerical work and knows how to manage money. ”

I have a plan in my heart, and Yuexi just lacks someone who can manage money. Not only must you be able to manage the money, but you must also be completely free from the influence of the Huns. In order to save him this time, he almost offended the Huns, and he naturally did not dare to return to the Huns.

I said, "In that case, you should stay in the palace and be a Tibetan envoy." ”

Feng Rong said gratefully: "Thank you, girl!" ”

After Feng Rong took office, he was diligent, all the accounts in the palace were clear, and the money in the treasury began to have clear data. I saw that I chose the right person, and I was secretly glad that such a talent should not be buried in the Huns.

By the way, he said that his ancestral home is Hedong? Thinking of Hedong, my heart throbbed violently, and I went to the sick house... Also in Hedong County.

I wonder if he's okay now?
