Chapter 731: Gift-giving
The conditions of the two sides were very different, and the negotiations were interrupted.
King Ming still has the same bearing, does not entangle, and retreats politely.
Inside the house, Lin Huayao's face was gloomy and he was silent for a long time.
Li Yunbo stood beside him, his gaze swept over Lin Huayao's gloomy face from time to time, and his eyes couldn't help flickering.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally couldn't help but whisper in Lin Huayao's ear: "Handsome, you have a brutal attitude when you watch the flag, I'm afraid it's not good." ”
When Lin Huayao heard this, he didn't say anything, just shook his head slightly.
Then he stood up and left with a heavy heart.
Li Yunbo looked at his back, very uneasy in his heart.
They went to Qingshan to betray the Daomen and took refuge under the command of Nanyue, in the final analysis, it was still an internal dispute in Great Xia.
But if you really want to get involved with Qiman, then the situation is obviously different.
When the time comes, how will you face your colleagues and the people of the world?
Thinking of these, Li Yunbo's heart was blocked, so far, where do they have any other choice than to follow Lin Huayao?
On the other hand, King Ming and his entourage did not leave Nanyue.
Qiman has a secret stronghold in Nanyue, and of course, this stronghold is not a secret now.
King Ming returned to the stronghold with the people, still leisurely, and ordered the attendants to make tea, and there was no hurry at all.
When the fragrance of tea overflowed, King Ming invited Elder Han to sit down and drink tea together.
"Senior Uncle, is Senior Brother Liangping's injury a big problem?" King Ming picked up the teacup, and after inviting tea, he asked Elder Chong Han.
When he mentioned this, Elder Han's expression was a little unsightly, and he said in a deep voice: "King Ming, do you know that Li Yunbo hit not Liangping today, but you and my face. ”
When King Ming heard this, he knew that Elder Han was dissatisfied with his handling at that time, and said with a smile: "Uncle don't worry, when I return to the court, I will definitely show my father the merits of the imperial kingdom that my senior brother endured humiliation and burden, and I will not let my senior brother suffer this grievance in vain."
Elder Han's face softened slightly, and he didn't say anything more, then turned back to the topic and said, "Lin Huayao has refused our cooperation, what are His Highness's plans next?" ”
King Ming chuckled, put down the teacup in his hand, and said easily, "Wait a little longer." ”
"Your Highness wants to continue to stay in Nanyue?" Elder Han's eyes condensed slightly.
"Yes." King Ming nodded affirmatively.
Elder Han reminded, "Your Highness, Lin Huayao already knows your identity, for safety reasons, I'm afraid it is not appropriate to stay for a long time." ”
King Ming was not worried, shook his head and smiled: "Uncle Shi, don't worry, the soldiers and horses of the imperial kingdom are in front of you, and Lin Huayao doesn't dare to touch us." ”
Elder Han hesitated, but still said, "I've been waiting here, I'm afraid that the night will be long and I will have too many dreams." ”
"It won't be long." King Ming lowered his head slightly, and while drinking tea, he said, "Lin Huayao won't know that the imperial kingdom won't give him too long." ”
Elder Han looked at King Ming in front of him so confidently, so he didn't say much, but changed the topic: "Before going down the mountain, the head of the sect also told me not to neglect my cultivation because of mundane things. ”
"How dare you live up to the high expectations of your teacher, do your homework every day, and never dare to fall behind!" King Ming replied.
Elder Han looked at his young face, couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, and sighed again: "You are only one step away from entering the hall now, with your qualifications, if you cultivate in the mountains, it won't take two or three years, you will definitely be able to achieve success and become the youngest master in the history of my Immortal Sect, and I don't know why Senior Brother Palm would agree to let you go down the mountain at this time." ”
"Master......" King Ming muttered, lowered his head and was silent for a while, and said slowly: "Uncle Shi, have you ever seen King Xia Guoming?" ”
"King Xia Guoming?" Elder Han's originally relieved face was instantly suffocated, and when he looked at the young face in front of him, he suddenly felt that everything was boring.
I didn't know what to say for a while, so I had to say: "I haven't seen that King Ming with my own eyes, but you should understand that most of the things in this world are false, and the King of the Xia Dynasty may not be a person who does not live up to the truth, so you don't have to worry about it." ”
King Ming thought for a while, nodded, and said, "I have asked many people, and they agree with Uncle Shi, and they all think that the name of King Ming of the Xia Dynasty does not match the truth. ”
"Originally, don't say that the cultivation world of my flag country is the whole world, and I have never heard of anyone who can step on a free seat as a teenager, which is really an exaggeration." Elder Han said.
"What about Mei Qingfeng, the original Shangqing Mountain Sect? Isn't this person also worthy of his name? King Ming raised his eyes.
"This ......" Elder Han suddenly stammered, and sighed for a while: "I have indeed seen this Mei Qingfeng." ”
Elder Han didn't say any more, and there was no need to say any more.
Even if Mei Qingfeng is dead, no one in the world's cultivation realm dares to say that his free realm is fake.
"When this Nanyue incident is over, I plan to find a chance to meet the legendary King Ming. That's why I went down the mountain this time. King Ming said softly.
"No!" Hearing this, Elder Han's complexion changed, and he subconsciously vetoed: "This matter is absolutely impossible. ”
Seeing this, King Ming just smiled and didn't say anything more.
It's just that when he lowered his head, the light in his eyes was so sharp.
He has been gifted since he was a child, and he has been taught under the Immortal Sect, so to speak, although he has not run in the court, his status is higher than that of any prince.
Xianzong is the state religion of the flag country, with a transcendent status, the status of King Ming is noble, and the talent is outstanding, and he has only praised him since he was a child.
But I don't know when his name was no longer mentioned when the court talked about the prince or the Taoist talked about genius.
It was as if out of nowhere, a man had appeared, and nothing was left of his once dazzling light.
What's even more coincidental is that they even have the same title.
King Ming admits that he is not a cautious person, but he is never willing to be under the human being for the rest of his life.
So, he went down.
Coming to Nanyue was the task given to him by the imperial dynasty, and King Ming was his goal this time.
"In this world, there is only one king of tea!" King Ming picked up the teacup, looked at the reflection in the tea, and said in his heart.
……………………
…………
There is a king of tea in Nanyue.
The famous Lin Huayao actually chose to negotiate with Qiman.
These two major events are still under the table, and there is no wind on the table.
Even Zhang Bangli, even the spies of the major forces, failed to receive the slightest news about this matter.
The Ming Palace, which was in the capital, naturally had no idea about it.
In recent days, Beijing has been very lively.
Coincidentally, the excitement happened to come from the Ming Palace.
It's another rainy day.
In front of an ordinary courtyard, more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages loaded with gifts docked in front of the door.
The alley, which was not spacious, was blocked by these dozen or so carriages, and there were many people who watched the excitement around them, pointing at these carriages.
If you don't know the situation, if you see this excitement and ask closely, there will be a long tongue who will immediately tell you the reason for the excitement.
"To say, there are not any dignitaries living in this courtyard, if they are really dignitaries, how can they live here with us......"
"I heard that the poor acid used to work in a certain prince's mansion, and then somehow, he came out of the prince's mansion, and the poor acid could only sell words on the street for a living......"
"No, I don't know which big man has climbed up recently, just these few days, the door-to-door gifts are one after another......"
"In the past few days, the head of the vegetable market has been cut off every day, I heard that it is the same party of the thief, they are all damned, I heard that this poor sour is climbing the Ming Wangfu, you see these people who come to give gifts, they are the families of those criminal officials, and they are here to spend money to buy their lives......"
"Hmph, well chopped, look at this big car and small car, they must all be corrupt officials, who is King Ming, and they can be bought by these dog officials?"
"That's it, these dog officials definitely don't dare to go to the Ming Wang's Mansion to give gifts, so they came to this poor sour place to give it, everyone is paying attention, this poor sour can't see the money, if he opens the door to receive gifts, let's go to the Ming Wangfu to complain."
There was a lot of talk in the alley.
The two gentlemen, Fang Shan and Jiang Ling, who stayed in the house, smiled bitterly.
"Is that okay?" Jiang Ling, who had a lewd face, asked Mr. Fang Shan, who was sitting in front of the chessboard and holding a son, a little uncertain, and said, "Just find so many people to talk outside, and they can leave?" Besides, the meaning of the second gentleman in the palace seems to be to let us receive gifts on behalf of the palace, so it's not right! ”
Mr. Fang Shan's eyes stared at the chessboard, as if he was meditating on the chess in front of him, but he said: "The palace asked us to receive gifts, with the intention of befriending the court officials." This is not to collect money, and it is not possible to accept any gift. ”
"That's the reason, the palace wants us to secretly receive gifts, but you do this, so that everyone knows that we are the outer gate of the palace......" Jiang Ling said speechlessly.
Fang Shan threw down the chess pieces in his hand, obviously a little upset, and said after a moment of silence: "These criminals must be killed, and we can't accept their gifts." We don't accept it, but they are not willing to die, they can only die and struggle, this big car and small car pull gifts blatantly run to send, they just want to ruin the reputation of the Ming Palace, so that His Royal Highness in order to avoid suspicion, take the initiative to resign as the presiding judge, only in this way can they live. ”
Jiang Ling shook his head and sighed lightly: "So you are looking for these people to discuss in front of the door, spread the truth of the matter, and protect the reputation of the Ming Palace?" ”
"Well, there's no other way to do it." Fang Shan nodded.
"It's only like this, this is the first errand given to us by the Ming Palace, let's do it like this, to be honest, my old face is really a little hot......" Jiang Ling said.
Fang Shan was slightly silent, and said in his heart, when I went to receive my salary yesterday, I didn't see how embarrassed you were, shook his head, and didn't speak.
Jiang Ling said regretfully: "It's a pity, with such a fuss, the errand at the outer gate of the palace will definitely not be saved, this is a fat difference!" ”
Fang Shan glanced at him and said lightly: "It's okay if this errand is lost, although it is a fat difference to receive gifts from the outer door, it is not a beauty difference." If something really happens in the future, it will be difficult for you and me to have a good end. ”
Jiang Ling was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then looked up at Fang Shan in surprise: "Did you do it on purpose?" ”
Fang Shan didn't speak, picked up the chess pieces again, and stared at the chessboard.
Seeing this, Jiang Ling's eyes rolled, and he also smiled, turned around and walked out of the back door.
