When the mission entered the city, the sunset had not yet set, but when it arrived at the royal palace mentioned by Uncle Deguo, it was already dark, and it took more than an hour to arrive at the royal palace from the south gate, which was later accelerated in the speed of travel, if it was at a normal speed or the streets in the city were not blocked, Han Mo even felt that it would take two or three hours to reach the royal palace, which did see the grandeur of the capital, It can also be understood why Qingguo people have an inflated sense of pride.

The royal courtyard is actually just a relatively loud name, in fact, there is no Qingguo royal family in the courtyard, but this annex does cover an area of a very wide area, there are dozens of large houses, blue bricks and jade tiles, carved beams and paintings, the layout inside is also extremely luxurious, the ground is covered with white marble floors everywhere, the princess temporarily lives in the main house, everywhere is covered with red carpets, the carpet is embroidered with a variety of festive large-scale embroidery paintings, lifelike, walking from the red carpet, looking at the embroidery on the carpet, just want to live, Even people dare not and can't bear to step on it easily, such a beautiful embroidered painting is like a desecration of such a masterpiece.

Han Mo looked at the embroidery on the carpet, and then remembered Aunt Bi's words at the beginning.

Before this, Aunt Bi's embroidery painting made Han Mo admire, and he only felt that that woman's skillful hands were like a god, and she could actually embroider such a living embroidery painting.

At that time, Aunt Bi only said that Qingguo was the best place to embroider and paint, Han Mo thought that Aunt Bi was just modest, but when she saw it with her own eyes today, she knew that what Aunt Bi said was true.

At least the people of Qingguo are indeed stronger than Yan Guo in terms of these honest luxury arts.

In fact, when Han Mo organized maritime trade in the East China Sea, he saw a large number of Qingguo's specialties in the goods of Guan's trading house, those high-quality silk fabrics, calligraphy and paintings, antiques, porcelain, and jewelry are all fine workmanship, many styles and beauty, and in terms of heart, the achievements of Qingguo people in culture and art are much higher than those of other countries.

With the assistance of the people of Qingguo, the mission was stationed in the royal palace and worked for a while before it was properly settled.

The area of the annex is huge, and it is not a big problem to accommodate a thousand people, but it is not possible for everyone to live in the house, and the eunuchs and palace maids who marry are staying near the princess's residence, and the soldiers are scattered in various places in the courtyard, and if the rooms are not enough, they will temporarily set up tents to rest.

As soon as he moved in, Xiao Mu had already arranged for people to guard this royal courtyard, and the dark officials were also under Han Mo's orders, living near the princess, taking turns on duty, and always maintaining a high degree of vigilance.

Han Mo even instructed his subordinates that now that he is in the heart of Qingguo, he must be more cautious in everything.

Han Mo knew in his heart that before the princess's wedding, the Yan Kingdom delegation would not leave for the time being, so he still had to stay in Qingguo for a while, and anything could happen during this period of time, so the mission must maintain a high degree of vigilance.

After all, it is in the heart of Qingguo, and if some ill-intentioned people on the other side want to play any conspiracy, then there is a great chance.

Uncle Guo accompanied Changde Hou Cao Yin to talk in the front hall of the courtyard, and waited until the mission was properly settled, then he got up and said with a smile: "Master Hou, it's getting late, and I was supposed to arrange a banquet today, but you have a tired journey, and this banquet will be held tomorrow." What kind of usage does the mission Xu want, even if you ask Lord Liu for it, Lord Liu will make proper arrangements for what you need for food and drink on weekdays.! ”

Among the officials present, one of them got up and arched his hand and said: "In the Lower Honglu Temple, Shaoqing Liu Shan, I have seen the Hou Ye!" ”

Cao Yin bowed his head and said: "Everything has Master Lao Liu!" Then he asked Uncle Guo, "Uncle Guo, but I don't know when your lord summoned us?" This marquis will always discuss the matter of the big wedding with your lord! ”

Uncle Guo smiled and said: "Master Hou, don't worry, you have a long journey, it is not good to see the saint so quickly." Rest for a few days, and when you come down from the palace, you will naturally enter the palace to see you! ”

Cao Yin smiled: "Then there will be Uncle Lao Guo!" ”

"How dare you, say goodbye today, Hou Ye will rest earlier, and tomorrow will set up a banquet for Hou Ye to catch the wind and wash the dust!" Uncle Guo got up and said a few more words, and then led the officials away.

Yun Canglan soon transferred a team of officers and soldiers from the Beijing garrison battalion to closely guard the roads near the royal palace, and even ordered that any suspicious person could be arrested immediately.

Yun Canglan is a powerful figure in Shangjing, and he commands the entire garrison battalion army in Shangjing, with such a help, the safety of the Yan State Mission in Shangjing is also more guaranteed.

Coming to the front hall, Yun Canglan arched his hand to Cao Yin and said: "Master Hou, what happened on the way, Canglan will try his best to investigate, and will give you and Yan Guo an explanation." The roads of the Royal Palace, I have been tightly controlled, suspicious people, will not come to harass your group again! ”

Cao Yin smiled slightly and said, "Lord Yun has a heart!" ”

Yun Canglan said again: "The Holy General was originally going to come over to visit the Hou Ye. It's just that now the Wei people are coming to Nanyang Pass, and there are even more people stationed in Shanbei County, wanting to divide the troops into two ways to attack my Daqing. The holy general is now dispatching men and horses to deploy defenses, and the military affairs are too busy, so he has no time to come to visit for a while, and will take time to visit after two days. ”

Cao Yin let out an "oh" and said, "Is the Holy General still going to the capital?" ”

Yun Canglan nodded and smiled: "Exactly!" ”

After Cao Yin asked, he instantly understood, although the border of Qingguo was tight, but the people of Qingguo were not vulnerable after all, and Shang Zhongli's subordinates were not lacking in brave generals, and there would be no big problems when the border pass fell for a while.

The wedding of the prince of Qingguo and the princess of Yanguo is imminent, and the turmoil in the capital is inevitable, and Shang Zhongli stays in the capital, which naturally plays a deterrent role, at least he is in the capital, but no one dares to act rashly.

Shang Zhongli's purpose is nothing more than to use his deterrent power to make the marriage between the two countries successfully completed.

Only after the marriage of the prince and the princess did the two countries really form an alliance.

After Yun Canglan said goodbye, Cao Yin returned to his residence and sent someone to summon Han Mo.

Han Mo was still dressed in silver armor, and he looked a little tired, perhaps because the weather was a little hot, and a lot of sweat was already oozing from his forehead.

Seeing that Cao Yin had changed into light clothes, and there was even a strange fragrance in the room, Han Mo felt a little uncomfortable in his body, and being alone with this Hou Ye always made him panic in his heart.

Cao Yin walked over slowly, took out a red handkerchief from his sleeve, reached over, and said softly: "Why is it sweating?" Don't wipe it yet! ”

Han Mo saw Cao Yin stretching out his hand, hurriedly reached out and took the red handkerchief, and said, "Lord Xie cares!" I wiped the sweat from my forehead, but I smelled the rich fragrance on this handkerchief, and my heart was flushed.

Cao Yin was quickly taken by Han Mo and stunned for a moment, then smiled gently, turned to the chair and sat down, and said softly: "It's hard for you all the way!" ”

"It's all within the minister's job." Han Mo didn't know what to do with the champa in his hand for a while, so he could only hold it in the palm of his hand and said, "It's Master Hou, it's just riding a horse along the way, but it's hard work." ”

Cao Yin smiled gently, waved his hand, and motioned for Han Mo to sit down next to him, Han Mo hesitated for a moment, and finally sat down on a chair far away from Cao Yin.

"Ben Hou summoned you just to hear your thoughts." Cao Yin picked up the fragrant tea on the table, picked up the tea lid, gently stroked the tea surface, and blew it gently, then took a sip and put down the teacup, "What should Qin Si do?" From his mouth, it seems that he can't ask anything, and it seems that it is useless to stay with us! ”

Han Mo said: "I don't know what the Hou Ye is going to do?" ”

Cao Yin smiled softly and said, "Ben Hou is asking you!" ”

Han Mo pondered for a moment before he said, "Master Hou, in fact, your subordinates think that this Lord An Jun is not useless. In the eyes of his subordinates, there are people who want to get him! ”

"Oh?" Cao Yin blinked his beautiful eyes, and a smile appeared on his lips: "Who else would want such a waste?" ”

"Shang Zhongli and Hou Dang want both." Han Mo smiled faintly and said, "Shang Zhongli here, he may not want to use this An Jun envoy to give the Hou Party a little color." After all, Qin Si is a member of the Hou Party, and in the eyes of outsiders, he must be the mastermind of this assassination...... The people of the Hou Party assassinated the princess as the mastermind, regardless of whether Qin Si was really forced by those assassins of unknown origin, I think Shang Zhongli if he made good use of it, he could use this An Jun envoy to create some trouble for the Hou Party...... At least we can deal a heavy blow to the so-called security army! ”

"Makes sense!" Cao Yin said.

"As for the Hou Party, they must also know that Shang Zhongli may use this Qin Si to cause trouble for them." Han Mo said slowly: "So for them, Qin Si must not fall into Shang Zhongli's hands...... If His Majesty didn't guess wrong, it is estimated that the Hou Party is now thinking about how to take Qin Si away, and it is more likely that he is thinking about how to kill people and kill people! ”

Cao Yin smiled and said, "It seems that Qin Si is really not useless, so who do you think we should hand him over...... Or are we going to have the Qingguo people execute this assassin? ”

Han Mo pondered for a moment and did not answer.

Cao Yin said gently: "You have something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it, there are only you and Ben Hou here, you don't need to worry about talking!" ”

Han Mo finally said: "If according to Qin Si's crime, he intends to assassinate the princess, of course we are asking the people of Qingguo to execute this person......!" After a pause, he glanced at Cao Yin and said, "It's just that if this wild dog can get some benefits for us, why not take advantage of it...... After all, even if it is handed over to the Qingguo people, he will still die! ”

Cao Yin smiled and said: "Han Mo, Ben Hou didn't misunderstand you, you are really smart, and you coincide with Ben Hou's thoughts." It's just that who to hand it over depends on who they pay the highest price! ”

Han Mo said with a smile: "It turns out that the Hou Ye has planned it a long time ago, and his subordinates admire it!" ”

Cao Yin said softly: "Didn't you think of it too. Han Mo, you and Ben Hou are really in the same heart, Ben Hou likes you more and more now...... ”

Han Mo shuddered in his heart, and hurriedly opened the topic and said, "Master Hou, there are some things that your subordinates really don't know very well. ”

"You say!"

"Seeing the arrangements of the Chinese people, it seems that many of the next things will be handled by this uncle." Han Mo frowned and said, "It's just that he is the elder brother of Qinghou, and after that, ...... Will there be some trouble? ”

"After the weight of the party, this is also a matter of no choice." Cao Yin sighed lightly: "Although he is the uncle of the country, he is also the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the big wedding is always handled by the Ministry of Rites." But I think Shang Zhongli is still in Beijing, and the Hou Party doesn't dare to be too nonsense! ”

"Shang Zhongli is still in Beijing?" Han Mo was a little surprised.

Cao Yin nodded and said: "Yes, I guess I was worried that the Hou Party would play tricks before the big wedding, so I stayed to deter the people in the Hou Party." ”

Han Mo shook his head and said, "Speaking of which, I really don't know much about the Qingguo Hou Party...... Qingguo Li was originally a relative of Qi in the former dynasty and seized half of the world of Qi. Now that the party is weighted, the Li family is also facing the situation of the weight of foreign relatives, won't the Qingguo Li family think about how they won their country? Could it be that the Qingguo royal family is not afraid of becoming the second Qi royal family? ”

Cao Yin pondered for a moment before he said softly: "The wind and clouds are changing, the world is impermanent, who would have thought that the daughter of a businessman would now be able to become the queen of Qingguo, who is in power and opposition!" ”

"The merchant's daughter?" Han Mo's eyes widened.
