More than half a month later, Qinzhou was too guarded.

"The Divine Decree Has Arrived"

With this chanting, the officials in the hall, under the leadership of Xiao Yuan, began to greet them.

After all, this is the edict of the Son of Heaven, and the posture that should be there still is.

Immediately afterwards, a eunuch walked in with his attendants.

He came with a holy decree, and when the people saw this, they couldn't help but separate the two sides and make way in the middle.

The eunuch walked straight up, then turned around and raised his hand slightly.

The attendant behind him understood, and hurriedly bent down and respectfully handed over a tray.

In the tray, there was a roll of golden silk brocade, the eunuch picked it up, and then glanced at the people in the hall, and then unfolded the holy decree, and said lukewarmly: "The officials of Qinzhou receive the decree"

Before the decree, the people fell to their knees.

The eunuch also began to read aloud:

"The disaster of Qindi has been a long time, Xirong has repeatedly violated the Central Plains, Xiao Yuan has overcome foreign enemies, guarded the frontier, and covered the world. Today, I heard the good news, and in order to show his merits, I was specially named a viscount, and continued to take charge of Qindi, defending my Huaxia ......"

When the eunuch finished reading, everyone couldn't help but glance at each other, this is a reward, it is meaningless at all! How can he only be a viscount for the merits of this battle!

But where does the eunuch care about this, after reading it, he also looked at Xiao Yuan, who took the lead: "Presumably, this is Lord Xiao, right?" ”

"Exactly." Xiao Yuan replied.

The eunuch looked at it a little and subconsciously said, "So young?" Congratulations, Lord Xiao. ”

As he spoke, he also handed the holy decree to Xiao Yuan.

"Minister, thank you." The latter raised his hands aloft and, after receiving the decree, stood up.

Everyone got up one after another, and at this time, the eunuch also began to scream: "Hey, this ghost place in Qinzhou, it's really not a human being, this road is in a hurry, but our family is tired......"

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan's heart moved, and he immediately said: "My father-in-law has been tired all the way, and the official has already prepared a banquet for my father-in-law, please." ”

"Oh, how can this bother Lord Xiao......" Although the eunuch said so on his face, he was not polite at all.

After the two of them went down, the hall suddenly exploded.

Peng Shuang said: "Our army fought a bloody battle in Xirong, and the war lasted for a whole year! It was not easy to make peace with Xirong and ensure the peace of Qin for several years! But for such a merit, the imperial court only gave the title of viscount of the adult, which is too unfair! ”

"That's fine, at least the adults have not been transferred back to the imperial court, in this way, we will develop ourselves in Qindi, and if the son is not a viscount, I think for the adult, he will not care." Shangguan Wenruo said.

"Lord Shangguan is right, what I am most afraid of is a holy decree that will transfer the Lord back, if this is the case, it will not be accepted, and it will not be accepted if it is not...... Liu Yuzhi said.

And the reason why Xiao Yuan was polite to a eunuch was because the imperial power was in decline at that time, and there were not a few eunuchs who took power, and their people could carry the holy decree, they must be the people around the emperor, if there was any big news about the empire in the future, he could also learn from the eunuchs.

At noon that day, from the conversation, he also learned that the eunuch's name was Guo Sai.

After the dishes were all served, Xiao Yuan smiled and said: "Qinzhou is a bitter cold place, and it can't be compared with the court, so I hope Gonggong Guo won't dislike it." ”

He was so polite, Guo Sai heard this, and hurriedly said: "Where is it, Lord Xiao is too polite." ”

"Come, Father-in-law Guo is running all the way, a glass of wine, to relieve his father-in-law's fatigue, please."

"Please."

Xiao Yuan did the etiquette in place, and when the wine had passed three rounds and the dishes had five flavors, he also had a tray of gold brought to Guo Sai.

Seeing the gold, the latter's eyes couldn't help but light up, but his face asked, "Lord Xiao, what does this mean?" ”

"Huh? My father-in-law traveled thousands of miles and came to Qinzhou in person to read the holy decree, and I just wanted to make my father-in-law a friend. ”

"Friends?" Guo Sai raised an eyebrow.

"That's right, but I don't know if my father-in-law wants to." Xiao Yuan said with a smile.

Guo Saiben is a slave, he can make friends with a Taishou, and he has gold to collect, how can he not be willing!

Hearing this, he immediately smiled: "Of course, of course, being able to make friends with Lord Xiao is really a blessing in the next three lives......"

A eunuch may not play a big role, but he is a person close to the emperor, and he can be informed of the internal decisions of the empire at the first time.

After the banquet, Guo Sai was sent away, and Xiao Yuan also returned to the hall.

At this time, the officials had already left, each performing their duties, Chu Ning walked in with tea, first cautiously looked at Xiao Yuan's face, and then couldn't help but say:

"My lord, don't blame the slave and maid for talking too much, it's just that this time the imperial decree, the slave and maid have also heard about it, and it is very worthless for adults."

Xiao Yuan glanced at her with a smile: "This holy decree is dispensable, it doesn't matter, even if it is this, this official dares to conclude that it is still the result of my brother Zhong Bai's hard work!" ”

A few days later, a letter also came from Zhong Bai's side, inviting Xiao Yuan to the imperial capital for a banquet.

This is the fiftieth birthday of Zhong's father, Xiao Yuan can't refuse, he can only be invited, entrust the affairs of Qinzhou, and hand it over to Liu Yuzhi and Shangguan Wenruo to take care of it temporarily, he also took Xu Hu, and only two people started to leave.

Qinzhou was far away from the emperor, and the two of them rode on horseback, and finally arrived after more than ten days.

The land of the imperial city, the prosperity of the city, needless to say, is full of rich people in gorgeous clothes, and the wide streets are bustling.

"My lord, this is too different from our Qinzhou, right?" Xu Hu couldn't help but say while looking around.

"Qinzhou is a frontier land, this is the foot of the Son of Heaven, the capital of the empire, naturally." Xiao Yuan said with a smile.

"Cut, what kind of bullshit ......" Xu Hu muttered disdainfully, obviously, in his heart, he only recognized Xiao Yuan, the master.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Xiao Yuan's face sank, if this was heard by someone with a heart, it was not a joke.

"Oh......" Xu Hu scratched his head and responded, the two were dressed in casual clothes, Xiao Yuan was dressed in white brocade, hosta hairpin, his son was like jade, Xu Hu's posture and size were more like his thugs.

Inside the Bell House.

Because the birthday banquet is about to arrive, the people in the house are relatively busy, and Zhong Duoduo is circling around Zhong Bai, asking questions and asking questions.

"Oh, little sister, I'm busy."

"Brother, I heard that Xiao Yuan is coming?"

"Yes, yes, he is your brother's sworn brother, can you not come?"

"Huh? Are you sure? Zhong Duoduo's beautiful eyes suddenly moved.

Zhong Bai had nothing to do with her, and after finishing speaking, he said impatiently: "Go and go, don't get in the way here." ”

"Humph!" Zhong Duoduo snorted and left.

But after turning around, she smiled slyly, Qinzhou's matter, she remembered the grudge!

Let you bully me!

She said secretly to herself.
