Duan Mingyu beckoned Wang Aiqing to the front and whispered: "You go and borrow four clever and well-behaved maid rings from Yanyan, and say that this official will use them to entertain a messenger."

Wang Aiqing took the order and hurriedly walked out, since someone came outside to remove the incense case, Duan Mingyu accompanied Hu Gonggong into the upper hall, asked someone to watch the guests, waited for him, but walked to the middle of the bookcase, and put the holy decree on it respectfully, he saw that there was a vase with flowers next to it, I was afraid that someone would accidentally scrape down the water in the bottle, and the holy decree would be stained, so he hurriedly moved the vase away

Duan Mingyu thought to himself: "The holy decree is rare in future generations, especially the holy decree of the Tang Dynasty, it seems that none of them have been handed down, I have two now, and when I go back, I will use Aiqing to make a large sealed bamboo tube, seal this holy decree, and hide it for my children and grandchildren, this is a rare antique, after a thousand years, how can one not be sold for hundreds of thousands."

How did Gonggong Hu know what Duan Mingyu was planning in his heart, he watched coldly from the sidelines, seeing Duan Mingyu's love, care, respect, and cherishment of the holy decree, it was indeed sincere, not pretentious, and he couldn't help nodding secretly

If Duan Mingyu refuses to accept the decree, or after receiving the holy decree, follow the example of other feudal towns to raise bandits, delay time without handing over power, then he has to take the secret decree and kill him on the spot

The eight guards around him are all masters from Tian Lingzi's side, and four of these eight guards who don't look amazing are martial arts masters who specialize in practicing the art of skillful striking, and can kill people in five steps and make it difficult with one blow, while the other four are specialized in spying, tiptoeing, flying eaves, walking on the wall, walking on the ground, and good at flying knives, if he is caught off guard by an order, the eight masters suddenly start to kill, and there are really few who can avoid it

Since Gonggong Hu had given such a mission, he naturally paid special attention to Duan Mingyu's every move, word and deed, and now seeing that Duan Mingyu's respectful attitude towards the holy decree did not seem to be fake, he first had a good impression, and the tight string in his heart also relaxed, and when Duan Mingyu put down the holy decree and turned around to talk to him, the smile on Gonggong Hu's face became a little kinder

The two talked about it in the upper hall, it was too late, Hu Gonggong had a meal when he arrived in Songzhou, and at this time he was full of tea and food, Duan Mingyu led the messenger to the back house to rest, because the three states were included in Duan Mingyu's sphere of influence, Duan Mingyu's real power can be said to be much stronger than the average feudal town, and now he has taken Bianzhou, Chenzhou, and Songzhou all under his own influence, which can be described as a high-ranking master, so he can't help but be suspicious of the court, and now his body has been firmly branded with the Seven Princes, which is also expected

When Gonggong Hu arrived at the back house, he looked up and saw that it was really empty, and when he first arrived in Songzhou, he saw from afar the magnificent style of the prefect's yamen, who knew that the back house was so simple, not only the furnishings were simple, even the domestic servants and maids were few, and the room was empty, and he frowned unconsciously

Duan Mingyu said with a smile: "Gonggong Hu is really sorry, this mansion has just been built, and the various furnishings and waiters in the mansion are limited, many rooms are still empty, this room is the residence of Xiaguan, the facilities are quite complete, and now it will be cold in winter, the house that has never lived in it is very yīn, and the cold father-in-law may not be used to it, so he will temporarily live in this residence of Xiaguan."

The eunuchs of the Tang Dynasty are a little different from the eunuchs of other dynasties, most of them have higher positions and high salaries, and they often live a very high standard, and the eunuchs of the Tang Dynasty can marry wives and concubines

As a senior eunuch, Gu Hu's father-in-law has a very high salary, so in Chang'an, he not only has a luxurious mansion of his own, but also a beautiful wife and concubines and a group of maids and maids waiting, seeing that this place is so simple, he is indeed a little unaccustomed, and his heart is also a little unhappy to hear about it

This was actually outside Duan Mingyu's own bedroom, and Gonggong Hu couldn't help but be taken aback, and his slackness immediately dispersed

At this moment, Wang Aiqing came back with four little maid rings, not only four little girl rings, but also five or six servants in green clothes and small hats, holding silk and satin bedding, as well as fine porcelain cups, saucers, tea bowls, fine tea and wine, a few food boxes containing delicious honey stack snacks, and a few white copper braziers set up in the room, igniting animal charcoal, which was immediately as warm as a chūn mouth, making these people feel comfortable in the empty house

Gonggong Hu was surprised: "Lord Duan, this is ......"

Duan originally just borrowed four maid rings, and when he saw Wan Yanyan, he thought about it so thoughtfully, and his heart was also warm, and when he saw Gu Ruoli moving, he hurriedly smiled: "It's too simple here, and there must be a lot of inconvenience for the big officials to live here, so the following officials borrowed a few slaves from the state."

Gonggong Hu smiled and felt a little closer to Duan Mingyu

……

The next day, Duan Mingyu took 10,000 horses out of Songzhou City, this 10,000 horses consisted of two thousand hussars, three thousand light horses, five thousand Yingtian army heavy horses, a cadre of men and horses, and met the seven princes, Li Jie, the Duke of Weiguo, Li Cunxuan, came to the gate of the city, and the carriage suddenly stopped, Duan Mingyu raised his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Brother Mingyu and Sister Zheng are waiting in front"

Before Wang Aiqing outside could speak, Yang Zhaoniang beside her replied timidly, the little girl was originally smart, and after experiencing some Kanke tribulations that girls of this age should not have experienced, she became more mature and sensible, so she was very good at making mistakes, and while answering, she shrunk her shoulders, and her big eyes looked at Duan Mingyu pitifully, as if he was about to slap him down in anger, this appearance made people feel angry when they saw it

Duan Mingyu was stunned, and an interesting smile slowly appeared on his face, Yang Zhaoniang was stunned, and when she saw him raising her legs, she was about to attack, and hurriedly called "Brother Mingyu"

Dodge was about to take off the robe that hung on the wall of the car for him

Duan Mingyu pressed her fingers, slashed her shoulders and slid forward along her collarbone, gently hooking her chin, Yang Zhaoniang was really a little scared, a pair of confused big eyes, looking up at Duan Mingyu, she didn't dare to move

Yang Zhaoniang's face was swollen and red, Duan Mingyu snorted lightly, it was this little girl who told the secret, so she lifted the curtain and walked out
