Chapter 293: Moon in the Water
After a short rest, except for Yu Wenyun, everyone simply had dinner, washed up and went back to their rooms - many people have altitude sickness, poor appetite, and low spirits, but Fu Xiaoguan has no, and he is in good spirits after bathing.
The moon was shining tonight, especially on this plateau, and it felt a little closer to the sky, so the moon seemed to become a little bigger.
Fu Xiaoguan went down to the second floor and was looking up at the moon in this courtyard, Deng Xiu came over and saluted respectfully: "The lower official sees Master Fu, I don't know if Lord Fu is still satisfied with the arrangement of the lower official?" If the adult has any request, just ask, the lower official will try to serve the adult as much as possible. ”
Fu Xiaoguan retracted his gaze, looked at Deng Xiu and said with a smile: "Don't be a senior official, I am here to participate in the cultural meeting as a literati, you don't need to be polite to me, and I am not a person who cares about etiquette...... This is our embassy? ”
"Lord Hui, exactly, there are only three envoys from my court to the Wu Dynasty, and you have already seen them. If the Wu Dynasty has any requirements for our Dynasty, we will send people here to summon the news, and if our Dynasty has any proposal to the Wu Dynasty, we will go to the Imperial City to submit the proposal to the corresponding official office, and even face the saint. ”
It was similar to the nature of the former embassy, Fu Xiaoguan nodded thoughtfully, and the two came to a stone table and sat down - the butt was a little cold!
"How long have you been here?" Fu Xiaoguan asked with concern.
"Three years and three months."
"Are you still used to it?"
"Back to my lord, this work is actually very easy, the exchanges between my dynasty and the Wu Dynasty are not close, and the scale of reception like today is the first time in the three years of Xiaguan, so if there is anything missing, please bear with me."
Deng Xiu was not as casual as Fu Xiaoguan said, he already knew Fu Xiaoguan's identity, and understood that the young man in front of him was the real upstart of Yu Chao Shangjing!
He can't afford to offend, the ghost knows the young man's mind, he can say that, but if he really does that, he will not leave an impression in his heart that he does not know the seriousness.
Fu Xiaoguan didn't bother with the question of the title of the upper and lower officials, and he asked again: "Do you have any family members in Shangjing?" ”
"Back to my lord, Xiaguan's family is not in Shangjing - to be honest, Shangjing is not a place where people like Xiaguan can stay. Xiaguan is the Yongning City of Yongning Prefecture, Shanxi Province, in the first year of Xuanli Enke in the Jinshi, and then alternated for two years, in the third year of Xuanli to find a Honglu Temple master Bo Guan'er, in the sixth year of Xuanli came here, during which he went back once. ”
Fu Xiaoguan suddenly thought that the palace chief had sacked Yongning City, so he asked again, "How is your family situation?" How many rooms do you have a wife and concubine? How many children? ”
Deng Xiu was stunned, how could this young upstart ask about such a private matter? But since Fu Xiaoguan asked, he could only answer: "Back to my lord, Xiaguan's family background is quite passable, there is a wife, a concubine, and two sons - Xiaguan was married when he was on the alternate, and a pair of sons were also at that time. ”
Speaking of this family, Deng Xiu's face showed a touch of warmth, "I haven't seen my daughter yet, so I'm thinking about taking a leave of absence from the Ministry of Rites next year to go back and see." ”
Fu Xiaoguan didn't mention the changes that happened in Yongning City, he also smiled and said: "Living in a foreign country for a long time, this homesickness is inevitable, and you should really go back to see ...... often" He suddenly changed the topic and asked: "The embassy of Fan Guoyi and the desolate people is also on this street?" ”
"The embassies of the Fan and Yi countries are in the inner city, only the embassies of the Wasteland and our dynasty are in this middle city, the wasteland is more remote than us, they are located in the middle city and the outer city of the intersection of the Broken Water Bridge Lane - there are three small countries in that place, all of them are east of the Wu Dynasty, two of them are coastal, and the other is actually on the island. It is too far away from our court, so our court does not have their permanent embassy. ”
Fu Xiaoguan was stunned, coastal countries? This is an important piece of information, and if you have time another day, you will have to talk to the envoys of these three countries.
There is no outlet to the sea in the territory of the Yu Dynasty, which is a huge shortcoming, and the Yangtze River must return to the sea, which must be clarified.
As for the Wu Dynasty placing the embassy of the Yu Dynasty in this middle city, I think that the Wu Dynasty attaches more importance to the Fan State and the Yi State than the Yu Dynasty, and the most critical factor in this is the national strength.
He didn't know the national strength of these two countries, he knew that the territory of the Fan State was very large, while the territory of the Yi State was only one-third of that of the Yu Dynasty!
This Yi country dared to raise troops to invade the Yu Dynasty, which shows that the national strength of the Yi country is indeed above the Yu Dynasty.
A weak country has no diplomacy, this is a true portrayal, and it is extremely difficult to come to Deng Xiu and the three here.
Fu Xiaoguan has no way to change this situation at present, and he asked again: "This trip to the Wenhui and the birthday celebration of the Empress Dowager of the Wu Dynasty, you can use more snacks,"
"Xia Guan can remember it, and wait for the time when the Wen meeting will be made famous for my Yu Dynasty."
Fu Xiaoguan smiled noncommittally, "It's late at night, let's rest." ”
"Retire!"
Deng Xiu got up to leave, Fu Xiaoguan looked at the bright moon with his hands on his knees, and still didn't feel sleepy.
……
There are also many people who do not feel sleepy.
Wu Ling'er was eating candied fruit in the queen's Zhengyang Palace, and said the brand-new poem composed by Fu Xiaoguan in Fanning City with a happy face.
Thousands of miles away in the Sword Forest, on the top of the Sword Mountain, Lu Xiaofeng, the head of the Sword Forest, looked at the body of his eldest disciple Zuo Hehua with a murderous face, he had been watching it for two days and two nights!
He couldn't understand what kind of weapon the hole in Zuo Hatehua's forehead was injured, he thought for a long, long time, and then looked to the south - there was a group of mountains there, and there was a temple in the mountains, could it be that the master of the temple had been to the border city?
Could it be that the master of Chengguan has become a legendary finger snap?
Since the Lord is protecting Fu Xiaoguan, then I will kill you!
"Someone! ……”
That night, the three protectors of the Sword Forest left the Sword Mountain and headed for Guanyun City.
Zhuo Donglai never slept that night.
He was dressed in white and stood alone in Lanxi, quietly looking at the bright moon reflected in Lanxi.
The words that Wu Ling'er said to Fu Xiaoguan in Fancheng have reached his ears, I will raise you...... In this way, Ling'er's heart is in Fu Xiaoguan's body, so the story of childhood sweethearts is a lie!
As an outstanding figure of the young generation in the literary circle of the Wu Dynasty, he has always been very proud and has always cared for the delicate relationship with Wu Ling'er.
As the eldest grandson of the largest gate valve in Guanyun City, he has worked hard since he was a child - hard to practice martial arts, study hard, and strive to become the brightest star of the Wu Dynasty.
He succeeded, but lost to Fu Xiaoguan - this small landlord in Linjiang who had never even met in person!
He picked up a stone and smashed it into the Lan Creek, the calm stream rippled, tearing up the full moon, he smiled sadly - this childhood sweetheart's feelings are as fragile as the moon in the water, just a small pebble, it is gone!
