Zhang Shiqing bent down slightly, ready to jump off the windowsill, but one hand was still holding the wine glass, the other was unstable, and fell backwards, Feng Juniang was prepared, and immediately reached out to catch her, holding her and landing safely.

The wine in the cup spilled on the two of them, Zhang Shiqing couldn't straighten up with a smile, and said after a while: "Almost." Thank you Sister Feng for saving your life. ”

"Well, I love saving lives. Alas, the skirt is wet, you careless little girl, go with me to change clothes. ”

Zhang Shiqing shook his head and stepped back, "There is still a pot of wine that I haven't finished drinking, I won't leave." ”

Feng Juniang couldn't stand the wet stains on her clothes, and said to Xu Ji: "Can the son watch the little county lord?" ”

"Yes." Xu Ji put the things in his hand on the ground and freed his hands.

"I'm going to get back soon." Feng Juniang hurriedly went downstairs.

"Bring another jug of good wine!" Zhang Shiqing reminded loudly, picked up another pot of wine from the corner, filled it in the empty cup, and said to Xu Ji: "Where is your cup?" ”

"I've had enough tonight."

Zhang Shiqing shook his head, "Your alcohol consumption is more than that, this is one of your few advantages." ”

"Really? What other advantages do I have? ”

"Together, you can't suppress your boredom."

Xu Ji stepped forward and lowered his voice slightly, "Listen to ......"

Zhang Shiqing handed over the wine glass, "Tonight's rule, talk after drinking." ”

Xu Ji took it in his hand and drank it all, Zhang Shiqing was very satisfied, took the wine glass and filled it again, "Say it." ”

"If you don't want to marry outside the Saiwai ......"

"What if?" Zhang Shiqing interrupted, tilting his neck and drinking the wine in the cup.

"You have to prove to Huan Yan that harmony and intimacy will not help, but will cause trouble, and when you go home, you must please the wife of the world no matter what......"

"I don't." Zhang Shiqing refused simply and poured wine into the cup.

Xu Ji didn't argue, and continued: "He Rongbu is definitely not sincere and friendly, you have to let the prince understand that once the two countries are at war, the two of you will be the first to suffer in the enemy country. In this way, she may reveal some truths to you, and I will try to ...... from He Rongpingshan as much as possible."

Zhang Shiqing handed over the wine glass, and Xu Ji received it in his hand, still drinking it all.

"Why are you giving me ideas?" Zhang Shiqing asked, didn't want a wine glass at all, took a sip at the spout, and then poured wine for Xu Ji, only pouring more than half a glass.

"You need my help." Xu Ji is colorful, and if you have wine, you must drink it.

"You've already helped, you say the general trend ......"

Zhang Shiqing was about to take another sip of wine, Xu Ji snatched the wine jug, raised his head and drank, drinking a trickle, but spilled a lot, and his chest was wet with a large piece, and then: "The general trend is irresistible, but everyone has a choice, whether to follow the trend or rise against the trend, those who rise against the trend cannot change the general trend, and may be able to change their own situation." ”

Zhang Shiqing looked at him blankly and said nothing.

"Your brother wants to be the emperor, Huanyan wants to fight for the world, this is their general trend, remember these two points, there will be an opportunity to take advantage of it......"

"You've drunk it all." Zhang Shiqing said.

"What?" Xu Ji smiled, suddenly heard the sound of going upstairs, and sped up his voice and whispered: "I'm sorry for not coming up with an idea at this time, because I didn't ......believe it until now."

Feng Juniang went upstairs, saw Xu Ji with a cup in one hand and a pot in the other, nodded and said, "Childe did the right thing, I really can't let the county lord drink it anymore." ”

Zhang Shiqing said with a smile: "In order not to let me drink, he drank it all by himself, but in fact, I wasn't drunk at all." ”

Although a pot of wine is not much, but it was drunk so quickly, Feng Juniang was still a little surprised, and handed a new dress to the little county lord, only then did she see that Xu Ji's collar was also wet, and sighed: "I can only take care of one at a time." ”

Xu Ji put the cup and pot on the ground and said with a smile: "I'm fine, it'll be dry when the wind blows, I'll go downstairs and wait." ”

Zhang Shiqing said: "Don't go downstairs, go and guard the window, in case the Seven Treasures Pavilion is broken, you have to block it for me." ”

Xu Ji had no choice but to walk to the window, with his back to the two of them, looking at the night outside, squirming behind him, and soon Zhang Shiqing's voice came, "Okay." Where did Sister Feng find the skirt, it fits me perfectly. ”

"You left it here on your own, remember?"

"Oh, come to think of it, when I first moved to Yecheng, I often spent the night here in Huanyan, so I left a few clothes behind. Later, she became busier and busier, and refused to drink, so I came less. ”

Seeing that the night was dark, Feng Juniang said: "Okay, the Seven Treasure Pavilion has been here, and the wine has been drunk, it's time to rest." ”

"He drank to his heart's content, but I didn't." Zhang Shiqing suddenly ran a few steps and picked up the first pot, where there was still a little wine left, and she poured it all into her mouth.

Feng Juniang sighed again and said to Xu Ji: "I am the daughter of an ordinary family, if I didn't see it with my own eyes and only listened to what people said, I would never believe that the lord of the dignified county would drink wine from a pot and not abide by the etiquette law so far." ”

Xu Ji just laughed, Zhang Shiqing threw away the wine jug casually, and said with a smile: "I have done so many things that do not abide by the etiquette law, you only care about this one?" ”

"I've heard a lot about the nonsense of the emperor's relatives and relatives, and I always think that it is common for people like the county lord to be covered with jewelry, to beat and scold slaves and maids, and even to kill people, but they must behave appropriately and will not make people laugh."

"This is the impression that our Zhang family gives to the people? It's okay to kill, but you have to drink from a wine glass? ”

"It's best not to drink, county lord, drink a little rice wine once in a while, don't touch spirits, especially not get drunk."

Zhang Shiqing couldn't straighten up with a smile again, and said after a while: "I know why Sister Feng has such an idea, it is true that the Zhang family is overkill, such as ...... The Emperor of All Things, as well as the former King of Guangling and King Yidu. ”

Feng Juniang smiled and nodded.

Zhang Shiqing saw that something was wrong, "My father and the king of Xiangdong also have a name for killing?" I don't believe it, sometimes I think they're too honest and often bullied. ”

Feng Juniang said: "Anyway, it's all rumors, who knows if it's true or not?" When it comes to killing, which of today's heroes has not killed countless people? He said to Xu Ji again: "Childe should also rest, right?" ”

"Well, I'm a little sleepy."

"That's because you've drunk all my wine, and you'll have to pay me back in the future."

"Also." Xu Ji said with a smile.

Feng Juniang lifted the lantern and still walked in front, followed by Zhang Shiqing, and then Xu Ji.

"Xu Ji, did you kill countless people when you were king?" Zhang Shiqing asked suddenly, even omitting "Childe" and calling him by his name.

"Hmm."

"Killed by your own hands?"

"Of course not, but it's all mine."

Feng Juniang in front defended: "I have seen many so-called heroes, Gongzi is considered to have killed the least, and at least there is a reason, he never kills innocents indiscriminately, this alone, no one can do it." The King of the Incarnation, the King of Ning, the King of Liang...... The people killed were enough to go around Yecheng, and most of them were unjustly killed ghosts. ”

Xu Ji didn't squeak, and he deserved the evaluation of "never killing innocents indiscriminately".

Zhang Shiqing didn't say anything more, left Qibao Building, didn't go far, and ushered in some maids on the other side, Zhang Shiqing should say goodbye, and stopped and said to Xu Ji: "I'll ask you one last thing." ”

"Excuse me."

"As long as it's not a hands-on one, it's not an indiscriminate killing?"

"It has nothing to do with it."

"What does it have to do with it?"

"In your heart, when you kill innocents indiscriminately, you will feel uneasy in your heart."

"According to this, people who hate will not kill innocents indiscriminately, and I am afraid that everyone is like this, right?"

"So at least in the eyes of the heroes, the people they kill are never innocent, and as for outsiders, there will always be different opinions."

Zhang Shiqing smiled, as if he understood something, "You have to remember to owe me half a pot of wine." ”

"Yes."

Zhang Shiqing joined his maid and left by another way.

Feng Juniang sent Xu Ji back to his residence, "If Yecheng is willing to form an alliance with the Descending Army, can Gongzi serve as an envoy?" ”

"I can't."

"Because of the little princess?"

"No, it will only backfire if I am a messenger, Meng Yingbo will do."

"From what I've heard, it seems that he betrayed the Golden Holy Maiden."

"If the Golden Holy Maiden will be avenged, this alliance will be fruitless."

Feng Juniang said with a smile: "What Gongzi said is very true, I will go to see the big county lord, hoping that she can make a decision quickly, so that Gongzi will no longer have to worry about his life." But you can't be in a hurry, because Qinzhou is unfavorable, and the pressure on the big county lord is not small. ”

"Understood."

Xu Ji had already slept during the day, went back to the house to change his clothes, sat on the chair in a daze, and went to bed after a long time.

Early the next morning, Sun Yalu arrived with the servant who delivered the meal, "Disturb, uninvited, can you eat with Xu Gongzi?" ”

Of course, Xu Ji would not refuse, and the two chatted while eating.

Sun Yalu said: "Seven days later, the prince will ascend the throne, and the empress dowager has agreed to issue a decree tomorrow." The king of Jibei is a little troublesome, and the opinion of the ministers is that the son of the world will be succeeded to the emperor of all things as a son, and the king of Jibei will give another honorific title, what it is, and it is still being discussed. ”

"The minister still cares about this kind of thing?"

"There's no way, Yecheng has brought too many old ministers, without them, Yecheng can hardly be called orthodox, with them, it is inevitable that his hands and feet will be somewhat restrained. However, there are also advantages, the ministers dispute the honorific title, and the constraints on the lord of Huanyan are reduced, and he can act according to his own heart. ”

Xu Ji waited for the other party to continue.

Sun Yalu had almost eaten, put down the chopsticks and bowl, "Is the Descending Army really willing to accept Zhao'an?" ”

"Forge an alliance." Xu Ji had to correct everyone's statement.

"Yes, an alliance, but the emperor is still in Yecheng."

"The emperor is in Yecheng, and the king is in Qinzhou."

"Sure?"

"Seven points sure."

"If it doesn't work, Yecheng will lose face."

"Except that it will become more and more chaotic, there seems to be nothing that must be done in the world." Xu Ji said with a smile.

"Xu Gongzi refuses to go to Qinzhou in person?"

"If I go to Qinzhou, there will be calamity. Meng Yingbo is enough, in addition to him, Yecheng also needs to send another reliable messenger who can clearly convey the goodwill of the lord of Fangde County and the prince. ”

Sun Yalu nodded, "The Descendant Army believes in Maitreya, if Yecheng makes some concessions in this regard, it will help?" ”

"It helps a lot." Xu Ji said with a smile, Sun Yalu is indeed a smart person, and in a few words, he already understood what Xu Ji meant.

Sun Yalu got up and arched his hand and said: "Although Gongzi Xu can't serve as an envoy, if the alliance is formed, there are still many places where Gongzi Xu is needed. ”

"If you need anything, please speak."

"Farewell."

"Mr. Sun, wait a minute."

"Xu Gongzi still has something to say?"

"How long has He Rongpingshan stayed in Yecheng?"

Sun Yalu was slightly stunned, "More than a month, right?" ”

"As a messenger, stay long enough. The family affair has been delayed again and again, isn't he in a hurry? ”

Sun Yalu smiled, "Xu Gongzi doesn't need to say much, you shouldn't meddle in this matter." ”

Xu Ji really couldn't intervene, but he believed that the sentence just now would arouse a little suspicion, and maybe pry open a little gap.
