Volume 3 Chapter 1 Return to Xiqi
Daji's soft words still seemed to be echoing in his ears, and Zhan Xiu followed the team to leave Yousu City lively.
This time, Lao Bai didn't talk to him on the road, and Old Man Ji Chang didn't summon him, so Zhan Xiu'an sat quietly in the car, except for meditating and sitting, he was in a hurry.
In addition to the guard pillar and Da Zhuang, there were also Qu San and Su Botong, who were often elusive, but except for a little command during the break, Zhan Xiu did not have much communication with others.
In short, there was no danger all the way to Xiqi.
Before entering the city, on the avenue outside Xiqi City, Zhan Xiu, who was at the forefront of the team, saw the eldest prince Bo Yi Kao who had heard a little calloused in his ears a while ago.
And he saw that he was standing in front of the crowd. To be honest, it's not that Zhanxiu's eyes are too good, but because Boyi is too easy to recognize.
Dressed in a white robe, with a yellow silk around his neck, a huge red bead on a golden crown, black hair and a shawl, his face was as white as jade, his eyebrows were like a smart eyebrow, and he was holding a transparent jade Xiao, and the jade tree stood in front of a large group of bearded old and elder officials in the wind, especially looking extraordinary and outstanding.
"Damn, why does this look more beautiful than a woman." Zhan Xiu thought a little sour in his heart.
No wonder Lao Bai and other people are very optimistic about themselves, they all say that Bo Yi Kao Gongzi is handsome and proficient in music and rhythm, and when I see it today, I know that it is not an exaggeration at all, this appearance is really a firefly under the moon compared to himself, and the light is really incomparable.
Before Zhan Xiu stepped forward to greet him, Bo Yi Kao noticed the movement of the convoy from a long distance and immediately greeted him.
Seeing Zhan Xiu get out of the car, Bo Yi Kao walked quickly and said with a smile: "Has the second brother recovered recently?" The road to Yousu is far away, the cars and horses are bumpy, and it is hard."
The demeanor between the conversations is gentle and elegant, and it feels very comfortable.
"Big brother, don't worry, I've fully recovered", Zhan Xiu hurriedly tidied up his somewhat wrinkled clothes and hurriedly returned the gift.
Bo Yi Kao was stunned when he heard this, and after looking Zhan Xiu up and down, he said in surprise: "Ah, the second brother seems to have gained a lot from Su Zhi's trip this time, and even the words are more interesting than what he said before, hehe, okay!" Good! ”
After saying two good words in a row, Bo Yi Kao seemed very happy, but how could Zhan Xiu feel that there seemed to be a faint coldness in the eyes of this big brother, if he didn't pay attention, he couldn't find it at all.
Maybe it's because I've thought about it too much, and I secretly said in my heart.
As soon as the two of them said a few words, the team led by Ji Chang arrived, and Bo Yikao stopped talking, put away his smile and stood on the road respectfully waiting.
Ji Chang got out of the car, and Bo Yi Kao quickly stepped forward to greet him, and said respectfully: "The child sees his father."
Ji Chang was also very happy to see Bo Yi Kao, and said warmly: "You have already met your brother just now?" ”
After listening to this, Bo Yi said gratefully: "Thank you father for your concern, the child is very sincere and fearful in taking care of government affairs, but fortunately, thanks to the support of the ministers, there is no big mistake."
Then he glanced at Zhan Xiu and continued: "I have already met the second brother, the second brother seems to be in good spirits, and seeing my father's happy appearance again shows that my father's trip to Yousu is quite smooth."
Ji Chang was also very happy when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Yes, although I stayed for a longer time this time, the matter was quite successful, and your second brother also did better than I expected, I have been with Su for so long, you have worked hard here"
As he was talking, a minister flashed out from behind the Boyi examination, bowed and laughed, "Haha, it's hard for the king to travel far away, but the ministers have been looking forward to the king's return for a long time."
Ji Chang saw that it was this person, and he also smiled and said: "It turned out to be Dazai, you have to wait for you."
Zhan Xiu heard Dazai's title next to him, and remembered what Bei Jean said in prison, and couldn't help but move his heart, and looked at the people carefully.
Dazai Guo's servant is quite tall, his appearance is extremely powerful, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his voice is loud and penetrating.
At this moment, he continued with a smile on his face: "I heard what the king said just now, it seems that the major events have been completed during this trip to Su, and the king has worked hard all the way, and please enter the palace to let the ministers and others wash the dust for the king." ”
As soon as the two of them finished speaking, San Yisheng and other officials who had returned from Yousu got out of the car, and greeted Bo Yi Kao and the officials who responded with a smile.
Zhan Xiu didn't know many people, so he couldn't take the initiative to greet people, so he followed closely behind Ji Chang and responded with a smile, while listening carefully to the conversation between the old man and the minister, and consciously memorized the appearance and names of these people.
After everyone simply greeted the courtesy, they entered the palace, and as soon as they entered the palace, a banquet was already put up, and after sitting down, Ji Chang held a wine glass to inform everyone of the news of the alliance between Xiqi and Yousu, which immediately caused the ministers in Xiqi to cheer and thunder.
Then he said that the second son had married Daji, and suddenly everyone swept towards Zhan Xiu with their eyes, and said "Congratulations", Zhan Xiu had no choice but to raise his glass and thank him in one fell swoop.
After this round of effort, it is not difficult to notice that there are happy and suspicious among the crowd, most of them have unconcealable surprise in their eyes, and some of them whisper to each other immediately after drinking.
The only gaze was very cold, like a blade sliding across his face, Zhan Xiu couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, and when he looked around, he found that it was Dazai, and he touched his gaze and then turned away.
At this time, a person suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Congratulations to the second son for tying the knot, this is really a great opportunity for my Xiqi, such as today's Zidi Xin has just ascended the throne, it is the time of the handover of the green and yellow, the song of the dynasty will be surging, and it is difficult to take care of it in the short term, it is the time for my Xiqi to vigorously develop!" ”
Zhan Xiu raised his eyes and saw that it was Lord Taidian who spoke, and he saw his eyebrows fluttering, looking extremely happy.
Taifu Taibao and Hong Yao and other ministers were also excited when they heard this, and they all raised their glasses to celebrate.
In the evening, after returning to the house, Zhan Xiu, who had drunk a lot of wine and had a distended stomach, turned off the lights early and lay down on the mat to rest. But thinking of Dazai's cold knife-like gaze during the day, it was a little difficult to sleep.
On the one hand, I always feel that there seems to be an indescribable crisis hidden behind this seemingly warm welcome, and on the other hand, it is because someone is not around during these days......
After a faint sigh, Zhan Xiu shook his slightly drunken head and began to wonder what this life after Xiqi meant to him.
Is it an opportunity?
Or is it a bigger risk?
After a while, he gradually fell into deep thought.
