In the Yuan house on the other side, Li Nan and Lu Jiuyuan, the left ministers, sat opposite each other.

In the courtyard, Feng Yi and the eight people didn't know what they were doing, and they didn't seem to be practicing martial arts, anyway, they walked around, but it didn't affect Lu Jiuyuan and Li Nan at all.

"Master Li, please use tea."

Lu Jiuyuan looked at Li Nan in front of him, he knew Li Nan's purpose, but he didn't point it out, anyway, now he has time, he is not worried at all, he can relax for a while.

"Thank you, Lord Wang."

Saying that, Li Nan picked up the tea in front of him and poured a small sip into his mouth casually, after all, he was very anxious about the competition now, and he didn't expect Lu Jiuyuan to invite him to tea.

It's just that after he took a small sip, he felt that the tea tasted mellow and couldn't help but take another sip, I have to say that Lu Jiuyuan's tea is indeed a good tea, and this tea is also brewed well.

"How is it, Master Li, my tea is okay."

Seeing that Li Nan was enjoying it, Lu Jiuyuan knew that his tea must be good, and he was very satisfied with Li Nan's reaction, this tea was collected by Lu Jiuyuan after seven years of travel, and most of them were found in some uninhabited mountainous areas, and fortunately no one knew about it and collected some.

"The prince is so tasteful, this tea has a mellow taste, and the aftertaste is endless."

"In this way, Lord Li will taste it more, this king's tea is different from those tribute teas in the palace."

"Oh, I don't know what's different about this tea."

Since Lu Jiuyuan said so, and this tea is indeed very good, he has also drunk the tribute tea in the palace, ordinary tribute tea is indeed not as good as this tea, and the tribute tea has always been only available to the palace nobles, as far as he knows, Lu Jiuyuan has never received the tribute tea rewarded by the emperor, so he is also interested in this tea, after all, he is a literati.

"I don't know the name of this tea, but I have been to some uninhabited mountainous areas during my seven years of travel, and I feel that this tea has an endless aftertaste, so I picked it back myself."

"I didn't expect that I would be able to drink the tea picked by the prince himself."

Li Nan was very surprised, he never thought that this tea was picked by Lu Jiuyuan in some mountainous areas, so it didn't mean that Lu Jiuyuan didn't have much collection, he originally wanted a little, but it was impossible.

"Lord Wang, Your Majesty said that the warriors for the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Xia Dynasty were arranged by the prince, so I came to take a look."

The tea has been drunk, and it's time to talk about business, Li Nan is the number one person who represents the entire Qingyu Dynasty except for Emperor Lu Huaan, so he attaches great importance to the competition.

"I see, hasn't Master Li already seen it?"

Lu Jiuyuan already knew the purpose of Li Nan's coming, but he couldn't say it, he knew that Emperor Lu Hua'an asked him to arrange the martial artists of the Mid-Autumn Festival, but the three martial artists who participated in the Mid-Autumn Festival competition were in the courtyard of the Yuan Mansion, and it was normal for Li Nan to be a literati and not to know about the martial artists.

And Li Nan was a little surprised when he heard this, he didn't expect that the martial artist arranged by Lu Jiuyuan would actually do chores in this house, could it be that Lu Jiuyuan was serious.

"Lord Wang, you're not serious, are you?"

"Is Lord Li serious about looking at this king?"

Hearing this, Li Nan knew that this was true, but if those people in the courtyard were all Innate Realm martial artists in their twenties, such a genius Lu Jiuyuan was just used to clean the courtyard, and such a Tianjiao was not the object of competition from the big family sect.

"Don't you think Master Li is hidden in the city? Is this way to withdraw their secluded life? ”

“……”

Li Nan has seen a strange answer, he didn't expect Lu Jiuyuan to say this, but this is based on the fact that Li Nan doesn't know that the strength of all Lu Jiuyuan's summoning heroes depends on Lu Jiuyuan, otherwise Lu Jiuyuan will not let these people do chores in the Yuan Mansion at all.

"I don't know what their strength is, Lord Wang? As far as I know, the three martial artists on their side of the Xia Dynasty are all innate one, and they can challenge the innate two. ”

"Lord Li, rest assured, the eight of them can all challenge the innate double by leapfrogging, and they can even tie with the ordinary innate triple major."

"How is that possible?"

"If you don't believe it, Master Li can find a congenital triple martial artist to give it a try."

The innate one can cross two small realms and fight against the innate three, this is definitely not an ordinary Tianjiao, this time Li Nan can't stand it anymore, this kind of Tianjiao is just miscellaneous, what is the real Tianjiao in Lu Jiuyuan's eyes, it won't be a challenge to cross three or four small realms.

"Lord Li, you can rest assured, this king dares to guarantee that they will definitely be able to win the Mid-Autumn Festival competition."

"Since the prince said so, then I will also arrange the affairs of the literati."

Lu Jiuyuan said so, Li Nan also had to trust Lu Jiuyuan, otherwise he would not give Lu Jiuyuan face, and Emperor Lu Huaan agreed, and there was nothing he could do.

Now there are warriors, but he is not prepared for the literati, otherwise he will be embarrassed by himself, and it is only twenty days now, at most, he will only find a suitable candidate.

"Master Li walks slowly."

Since Li Nan is leaving, Lu Jiuyuan will not stop Li Nan, as the prime minister, the responsibility is naturally very important, there are many things that Li Nan needs to deal with, and it is impossible to sit in the Yuan Mansion with him all the time.

It's just that the Yuan Mansion seems to be about to become a place for Lu Jiuyuan alone, and Mu Hanxue has rarely spoken to the Queen since he chatted with him, and as for the eight guards in the Yuan Mansion, Lu Jiuyuan has nothing to say.

At the same time that Li Nan left the Yuan Mansion, Sun Mao, the secretary of Dali Temple, had already arrived at the palace and reported to Emperor Lu Hua'an about Xia Feng, the envoy of the Xia Dynasty.

In the imperial study room deep in the palace, Emperor Lu Huaan sat on the dragon chair behind the desk, and Sun Mao stood in front of the desk.

"Say, what's going on, your Dali Temple is so busy that you almost don't have a chance to go to court, what can you do here today."

Seeing that Sun Maolai Palace Emperor Lu Hua'an was no exception, he had already known the requirements of the Xia Dynasty, otherwise he would not have become the emperor of the first dynasty.

"Your Majesty, someone among the envoys of the Xia Dynasty has been assassinated, and Weichen is here to report to Your Majesty."

"Oh, what the hell is going on? I can actually send you into the palace. ”

I have to say that Emperor Lu Hua'an's acting skills are good, but he has to pretend not to know what he knows, maybe this is the temperament that the emperor needs, otherwise how to master the entire Qingyu Dynasty.

Although there was a battle within the Qingyu Dynasty, it seemed that this battle was expected by Emperor Lu Huaan, and some things had been arranged a long time ago, but no one found out.

"Your Majesty, Xia Feng, the envoy of the Xia Dynasty, has made two conditions."

Sun Mao glanced up at Emperor Lu Hua'an slightly, and he was still unwilling to explain some things directly, otherwise he would be responsible for the consequences.

"Those two conditions?"

"Your Majesty, Xia Feng, the envoy of the Xia Dynasty, said that if Your Majesty asked Weichen to find out about this matter, and Weichen just checked this matter clearly, but if you can't find out, you will bear the consequences."

This time Sun Mao spoke more carefully than before, on the way into the palace, he thought about the assassination of the envoy of the Xia Dynasty, this is obviously a deliberate bureau set up by the Xia Dynasty, it is impossible for him to find out, and their purpose is to involve the Jade King, the Yu King and the King of Jiuyuan, it seems that they are investigating the three princes, but Sun Mao He does not like this, the prince of the same level of the dynasty, what qualifications do you have to investigate the prince of the Qingyu Dynasty, but Sun Mao did not dare to say it.

"What a big breath, is it an ornament? Sun Aiqing, what about their other condition? ”

Sun Mao was really taken aback by Emperor Lu Huaan, he was reporting truthfully, but he came back to his senses in an instant, after all, he was appointed by Emperor Lu Hua'an, and Emperor Lu Hua'an wanted to remove him from his post and he had nothing to say.

"Your Majesty, the second condition of the envoy of the Xia Dynasty is to let the three princes of the Jade King, the King of Yu, and the King of Jiuyuan investigate this matter, and the envoy of the Xia Dynasty promised that they would not ask whether they found the real culprit or not."

"Is that so?"

Emperor Lu Hua'an fell into deep thought, if the Jade King, the Yu King and the Jiuyuan King were allowed to investigate the assassination of the envoy of the Xia Dynasty, it would be a loss of face for the Qingyu Dynasty, and it would be very unfavorable for the Qingyu Dynasty.

"Then what does Sun Aiqing think?"

Emperor Lu Huaan couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he asked this Dali Siqing, after all, Dali Siqing is better at investigating cases, even if Guo Jia, the secretary of the Criminal Department, is in charge of the criminal law of the world, the investigation methods are not necessarily better than Sun Mao, so Sun Mao is the best.

"Your Majesty, forgive Weichen for being incompetent." Sun Mao can't just open his mouth, in case Emperor Lu Huaan is serious, he is still unlucky.

"Alright, I know, let me think about it."

Emperor Lu Hua'an also just asked, he also knew that Sun Mao was not good at answering his question, the assassination of the envoy of the Xia Dynasty was obviously designed by the Xia Dynasty itself, Sun Mao may not have the ability to find out in a short time, and the Xia Dynasty will definitely secretly block it.

Now that the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, Emperor Lu Huaan doesn't want to do anything bad in Qingyu City, but the personal ability of the three princes still needs to be assessed, and the three princes have been a little idle recently, so it's not bad to find a reasonable reason to order them to investigate the assassination of the envoy of the Xia Dynasty.
