Chapter 96: The Envoy Comes to the Court

The Yushan priest thought about it and nodded.

Although Hong Dala came to Peach Blossom Spring Village not long ago, he was smart, diligent in his hands and feet, and took care of him a lot, so he was very satisfied with this small worker, and he explained everything to him without hesitation.

"Actually, my news is also from the Martial Division, and I have a Situ acquaintance in the Martial Division, who is responsible for the transmission of news from all walks of life in the city. If you go to him, you will say that the county lord and I have asked him for a favor, and he will arrange it. ”

Hong Dala responded, took the letter of the Yushan Division, wrote down the other party's name and went to the Wusi, but the Situ was more cautious than he imagined, and directly found the Lonely Division to meet the Yushan Division.

Situ is in a high-ranking position in any division, and Wusi Situ is even more outstanding in martial arts, in charge of countless guards, but such a person is extremely enthusiastic about an ordinary member of the Lonely Division, which makes Hongdala surprised and curious.

"Let you go to the thatched house at night and ask someone to accompany you, you don't want to trouble people at all, just love to be able to see you fall like this, and you can't get out of the house for half a month."

Xiong Ping Situ is as his surname, tall and strong as a big black bear, with a square face and thick eyebrows, and his whole body exudes a strong masculinity.

The Yushan clerk quietly leaned on the bed and closed his eyes to recuperate, accustomed to his nagging.

"This is the main thing that the county does, you must be careful, don't mess it up."

Xiong Ping Situ Xiong's eyes widened, "I'm talking to you about the injury, what kind of topic are you going to change." Come and stay with me before your arms are healed, and I will take care of you. Hurt your muscles and bones for a hundred days, you can't be careless in this body, be careful to leave the root of the disease in the future. ”

The Yushan clerk opened a slight slit and glanced at him, "You run outside all day long, and you don't come back every three or five times, where can you take care of me." I have Hondara, you don't have to worry about it. ”

Hongdala stood on the side with his chest crossed and watched the two of them bickering, his eyes turned around, and he inexplicably felt a strange atmosphere.

This Xiong Ping Situ cared too much about the Yushan Division, even his own brothers were afraid that he was not as careful and considerate as him, but the Yushan Division's attitude towards him was indifferent, and he vaguely avoided it.

Xiong Ping Situ wiped the furniture in the house clean, put the dirty clothes into the basin, walked to the Yushan clerk, and directly picked him up from the inside out, and threw the clothes into the basin.

"Can I not worry, you can't even eat. Don't fight with me, I don't feel at ease if I don't put you under my nose. ”

Xiong Ping Situ looked five big and three thick, and his voice was also rough, but the words he said were inexplicably seductive, and Hongdala couldn't help but shake goosebumps when he heard it.

Yushan's face was full of unwillingness, but he was powerless, his arms were wrapped in gauze, and he was carried away by Xiong Ping Situ without even the ability to struggle.

Hongdala chased two steps, but still stopped in the courtyard, looking at the mountain priest hanging upside down on Xiong Ping Situ's back and scolding the robbers with a white face, but disappeared at the end without resistance.

The matter was entrusted to Xiong Ping, but the news came back in half a day.

There is a new rumor circulating in the twilight city, Lieutenant Feng Lian has a close relationship with the Queen Mother, Feng Lian forced into the Peach Blossom Spring Village, slandered the Peach Blossom Spring Village and arrested the county lord, it was instructed by the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother has always disliked the Peach Blossom Spring Village, and she supported the nobles of the family more when she listened to the government.

It's not just rumors, it's full of evidence.

When Feng Lian's family failed to participate in the seizure of the heir, the men of the whole clan should have been exiled to the frontier, but it was the Queen Mother who kept Feng Lian and let him return to the court, and in just a dozen years, he became an important minister in the imperial city that could not be ignored.

All this is because he took refuge in the Queen Mother, so that he can go all the way.

In the ten years that the Queen Mother has listened to the government, there are countless poor officials who have been condemned and suppressed for no reason, and even the upright, honest, outspoken, and able to confront Hu Xiangguo's imperial historian Diancang can only break through the obstacles after the Queen Mother's abdication and be reused by the emperor.

These things were known to all the people.

From this point of view, it is not surprising that the Queen Mother instructed Feng Lian to plant insults to Peach Blossom Spring Village.

Because of the fact that the owner of the village knelt down in Jingzhao Yamen in the morning to sue Feng Lian for his crimes, this rumor spread faster and more widely than before, and it was already known all over the city before it was dark, and even the beggars and rats hiding in the dark corners heard about it.

The men, women, and children of all ages have reached their peak of spitting and contempt for the Queen Mother and Feng Lian, and people can be seen blatantly discussing in the streets and alleys, no longer hiding and hiding.

Because this time the Queen Mother touched the bottom line of the people - insulted their faith.

The news came to the palace again, and the emperor was no longer in the mood to pay attention to it, and he was always worried about the affairs of the temple envoys.

He keeps an eye on the whereabouts of the three groups of people every day, when will he arrive?

He paced unsteadily in the main hall, and urged the attendant for the third time, "It's okay to send someone again." ”

In the morning, he said that he was fifty miles away from Twilight City, and he saw that it was dark and had not yet arrived.

Zhongchang responded and immediately ordered to go down, he wanted to pass the news to Fukang Palace, but the emperor has been very anxious for the past few days, and he can't get out at all.

Two quarters of an hour later, the sound of iron armor colliding came, with a rapid breath, which made the emperor unconsciously nervous.

The commander of the forbidden army came to pay his respects in person.

"Your Majesty, the envoys of the three kingdoms have arrived and are outside the city gates asking to enter the city. But....... ”

"But what?"

The emperor was in a hurry to grab it, and the commander of the forbidden army had a heavy face, knelt on one leg and said word by word, "But they are here on behalf of the emperors of various countries, and they all carry national credentials." ”

"What?"

The emperor shouted directly in his voice, and the whole person was stunned in place, staring at him, unable to return to his senses for a long time.

They are actually the envoys of the country, and this is no longer a contradiction between the court and the rivers and lakes, but a contest between countries.

How can a person who has no job or quality represent the emperor?

Is the temple already so terrible?

"What to do, please show your majesty."

The inquiry of the commander of the forbidden army brought back the emperor's contemplation, since the person has come, no matter what the purpose, he will know when he sees it.

As a country of etiquette, we must not lose our stability and lack of bearing.

"According to the etiquette of the envoys, bring people into the Honglu Temple for settlement, and then announce it to the palace tomorrow."

"Yes!"

The commander of the forbidden army ordered him to retreat, and only left the palace on the front foot, and the fact that Tianyang, Qimeng, and Ximing sent envoys at the same time spread all over the palace.

Naturally, the Fukang Palace also knew.

The Queen Mother blew a piece of tea floating on the tea surface, and looked suddenly enlightened, "I see, the Marquis of Che learned about this in advance, and he will enter the palace to ask to see the emperor." ”

The Queen Mother has been in an unstable mood these days because of the rumors in the market, and she is often irritable and angry, and she just scolded a little palace maid who walked and made a sound, and her mood was a little slower.

Mama Xi was a little trembling, but she still had to pretend to talk calmly as usual.

"I don't know what is important for the three countries to send envoys at the same time, I hope it will be a good thing?"

The Queen Mother was silent thinking about something, and with a bang, the teacup in her hand suddenly rested on the table, splashing out two drops of tea.

"Who are the envoys?"

Mama Xi's face twitched subconsciously, and she bowed down and said, "The old slave doesn't know, so the old slave will send someone to investigate." ”

The Queen Mother replied lightly, "Did Mrs. Feng get out of the city smoothly?" ”

Mama Xi replied, "I went out of the city as soon as it was dark, and the little soldier who guarded the city had received the favor of the old slave, and the old slave gave him two taels of silver, and it was done very secretly, and no one saw it." ”

The Queen Mother couldn't help but snort coldly, "The city that the mourning family ordered to seal is now restricted, and you have to ask for help from a lowly soldier." ”

Mama Xi hung her head and didn't say anything, Feng Lian was imprisoned, and now Feng Mansion is the target of everyone, countless pairs of eyes are staring, and it is already very difficult to send people away quietly.

The Queen Mother only felt humiliated, and she was on fire in her heart, and she waved her hand and drove Mama Xi away.

Mama Xi left the dormitory and immediately went to do the things explained by the Queen Mother, but she hurriedly came to report it in half an hour.

The Queen Mother was worried about something, and before she slept on the beauty couch, she summoned her to the front.

Mama Xi's face was heavy, and she carefully looked at the Queen Mother's expression from time to time, and she stood there speechless for a long time.

The Queen Mother stretched out her legs impatiently and kicked her, frowned slightly, and scolded her, "Old man, dumb, don't say it quickly." ”

Xi Mama tightened her clasped hands, pressed her saliva, and said with a look of death, "The envoys sent by the Three Kingdoms...... They are all members of the temple. The emperor arranged people in Honglu Temple, and as a result, as soon as they entered the city, they went straight to Peach Blossom Spring Village. ”

Boom –

A loud thunder suddenly exploded in the night sky, catching them off guard, startling both of them in the dormitory.

The Queen Mother rolled down directly from the beauty couch and fell on the ground covered with a velvet blanket, and she couldn't slow down for a long time.

"Those who come at me are all coming at me......"

The Queen Mother's well-maintained facial features twisted hideously, muttering like a whisper, grinding her upper and lower teeth against each other, and the eerie gurgling sound gave goosebumps to the table.

Mama Xi was shocked and immediately knelt down and rushed forward to help her, but the Queen Mother broke free from her support and got up on all fours.

It was raining heavily outside the dormitory, and the rain was so rapid and heavy that it caught people off guard, just as she was feeling at the moment.

"Are you going to use the whole temple against me for her, you are too despicable!"

She laughed, pushed open the door barefoot and rushed into the rain, losing consciousness, laughing and screaming.

The shrill screams were terrible.

The smile is even more vicious and crazy.

"I'm not going to let you get it. I'll let her die like that slut, with no place to bury, and she will never be able to stop me! ”

The curse-like oath pierced the rain curtain and floated in the air, and the strange yin owl merged with the sound of the rain, and the whole world seemed to become a witness to her oath.

The envoy did not go to Honglu Temple, but went directly to Peach Blossom Spring Village, which made the emperor very angry.

But apart from being annoyed and helpless, they were originally people from the temple, and it was understandable to go to Peach Blossom Spring Village.

At this time, the Peach Blossom Spring Village was as lively as the New Year, and people from all departments crowded outside the Liusheng Hall to see the demeanor of several directors.

As people from the temple, they have never been in contact with people from other branches except Peach Blossom Spring Village, and this is the first time that people from other countries have come to visit, so it is inevitable that they will have a heart of comparison, how can they not be excited.

Hondara is tall enough to see the scene ahead even from the back.

In the wide courtyard of the Liusheng Hall, next to the only plane tree other than the peach tree, the three directors and their entourage were saluting the owner.

The octagonal palace lamp under the eaves of the corridor illuminates everyone warm and clear.

One person is in front, two people are in the back, and then there are people from each team of the three countries, orderly and thoughtful.

The person at the head looked no more than thirty years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a smile on his face all the time, the youngest of the three directors, but he stood at the forefront.

He bent over to salute, and the owner hurriedly helped him up, but his perennially sick white face was full of red today, and he smiled very brightly.

"Hurry up, it's been hard all the way. Is the mountain owner good, but the leg pain is better? ”

The man smiled and shook the owner's hand with his backhand, and said cordially, "Father is all right, but I miss you and the young owner very much." ”

The owner laughed heartily, "The owner of the tired mountain still remembers me, and I don't know how long my sick body can last, but fortunately, Ah Nian can stand alone now, and I can close my eyes with peace of mind." ”

The man smiled, "Don't say that, my father still expects you to teach Ah Nian more, and my father said that there is no better teacher in the world than you, you must take care of your body, and when you are free, you will go to the mountains as a guest." ”

When the owner heard this, he was so excited that he burst into tears, his body trembled, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

"Okay, okay, I'll go, I'll go."

While talking to the owner, the man's eyes kept searching behind the owner, as if he was looking for someone.

The owner of the village read his thoughts and took the initiative to say, "Ah Nian has something to do and is not in the village." ”

The man smiled a wry smile, "I'm afraid he doesn't want to see me." ”

The owner knew the knot between them, so he just smiled and didn't say much.

The owner of the village and the director of Momiji Akiyama talked warmly, and the people who watched the excitement outside also chatted happily.

"That's the head of the Momiji Autumn Mountain, and it's really handsome, and it's said that he is still the adopted son of the mountain owner."

"Isn't that the brother of the young owner!"

Suddenly, someone sneered, "What is that, do you know that he was one of the first people to successfully climb the mountain when the temple was first built, and only three people entered the temple at that time, one is the current owner of Zhulan Dongfang, one is the director of the martial arts department of Zhulan Dongfang, and the last one is the director of Xunyi." ”

"Isn't that ......," exclaimed.

The man snapped him up, "Yes, he was raised at the knee of the Holy Lord and raised by the Holy Lord himself. ”

As soon as these words came out, a sigh suddenly sounded in the crowd, with amazement and envy.

What a blessing it must be to be ordained by a holy bishop!

"Now you know, how difficult it is to find the director of the department."

Hongdara looked towards the center of the discussion, and the person who was talking eloquently turned out to be Yushan, hanging two injured arms, and spitting was flying.

He listened to everyone's words and listened quietly, but he knew some things that he didn't know before.

"They are all directors, just because he has an extraordinary background, he favors one over the other, and it is inevitable that he will betray the temple and discriminate between high and low, and treat everyone equally."

Someone muttered in a dissatisfied whisper, and when the words came out, they were immediately oppressed by many sights.

The owner of the village faced the attitude of the three directors who came from afar, and everyone saw it, and just greeted the other two, but he was looking for a director.

The Yushan clerk looked the speaker up and down, and said with a smile, "I just came to Peach Blossom Spring Village." ”

The man blushed and bowed his head slightly in affirmation.

The director of Yushan smirked, "Can the director of this Red Leaf Autumn Mountain and the director of Zhulan Dongfang and Xike Xia Zhai be at the same level?" One is a temple, and the other two are branch halls, which is equivalent to the Beijing officials and magistrates in the court, even if they are of the same grade, their status is very different. ”

Hondara disappeared into the crowd and chuckled.

Comparing the temple to a court is really ambitious.

The Yushan clerk looks shy and unsociable on weekdays, and he talks about these things in one set.

There was no one next to the plane tree, the owner and others had already entered the main hall, and the excitement was no longer visible, so everyone dispersed.

The Yushan clerk hung his two arms, and the golden rooster couldn't move independently, and a kettle stretched out behind him, and Xiong Ping's majestic face came into view.

"Say so much, drink some water."

The Yushan clerk couldn't take it, so he could only stretch his neck and drink two sips directly to the kettle, and a stream of water leaked out from the corner of his mouth.

Xiong Ping raised his sleeves and wiped a handful on his mouth, his body bent slightly, and he easily picked up the person horizontally, with a light and fluttering movement like hugging a ball of cotton, and his pace was like flying, not affected at all.

Hongdala looked at the two of them walking away, and couldn't help shaking goosebumps, and suddenly someone patted his shoulder from behind, turned around, and smiled at the rosy face.

Hondara was a little frightened, but she was secretly relieved to see that it was her.

"Am I missing something?"

"You're missing out on a lot."

As he spoke, he grabbed her shoulder and turned the person around, and dispersed with the flow of people.

"You live behind the Liusheng Hall, why are you so late?"

Fu Yiran curled the corners of her mouth and smiled awkwardly, "I was accidentally closed by the red girl." She was in a hurry to peek with someone to find out that the director didn't notice that I was still in the house, so she locked the door from the outside, and I had just been released. ”

Saying that, he sighed regretfully, "I heard that the director of Momiji Akiyama is not only young and beautiful, but also very handsome, is it true?" ”

After waiting for a long time and not hearing an answer, I turned my head to look at Hondara, only to find that he was in a trance.

Fu Yiran bumped him with his shoulder, "What do you want?" Could it be that he was ashamed of himself and was shocked by the demeanor of Director Xunyi? ”

Hongdara glared at her, raised his eyes and snorted disdainfully, "Bullshit boy, just an uncle in his thirties." ”

Fu Yiran glanced at him, "Cut, I think you're jealous." ”

No one knows what Liushengtang talked about, Fu Yingran replied to Biluoxuan, who had been thinking about what rumors would spread tomorrow, striking while the iron was hot, and directly making the Queen Mother completely stink.

She also knew the other secrets of the Queen Mother, such as the death of the first queen.

While lying on the bed and turning his head, there was a sudden knock on the door, and the voice of Fu Yu sounded outside the door.

Fu Yingran put on his cloak and got up to open the door, lit the candlestick in the house, and let the person sit down on the Arhat bed.

With his legs crossed and his chin propped up in his palms, he stared at him and smirked.

Why is he so good-looking?

Even if there is no sunlight, it shines in the dim candlelight, and people can't take their eyes off it.

"Something to do at this late hour?"

Fool was amused by her nymphomaniac appearance, and warm fingers ran over the corners of her lips.

Fu Yingran was startled, and quickly straightened up and touched the corners of his mouth.

She's not going to drool at him, is she?

He raised his eyebrows at her and laughed triumphantly.

The sound of laughter startled the birds resting under the eaves.

Fu Yingran's face was flushed, and she glanced at him coquettishly, and did not speak sullenly.

Fu rubbed the top of her hair flatteringly, and her eyebrows were full of tenderness and sweetness.

"You look so cute, I can't help but tease you."

Fu Yiran leaned over the kang table in the middle, and rubbed his head back and forth, and then smiled contentedly.

Fu Yan looked at her with a doting smile, and took the initiative to lean her head over to make it easier for her to play.

Furrow's hair was a little stiff, but it was black and shiny.

It is said that those with hard hair also have hard hearts.

Fu Yingran was a little reluctant to let go, and teased him while touching, "Really good, be obedient, my sister will buy you candy to eat." ”

The smile on Fu Yan's face was in a trance for a moment, and his eyes were instantly covered with a layer of mist, moist.

In my memory, there was also a person who touched his hair with a smile and teased him, "If you want to listen to your sister, your sister will buy you candy to eat." ”

He stared at the woman with red eyes, and it was the first time in his life that he wept.

His voice was hoarse, and he said pleadingly, "I just want to follow you." ”

The woman just smiled and continued to rub her head, gently and silently refusing.

At that time, he had nothing, was vulnerable, and only trusted her.

Fu Yiran looked at Fu Yuan's wet eyes like a fawn, and waved his hand in front of his eyes in surprise, "Fu Yuan, what's wrong with you?" ”

Fu Fu woke up and sat up straight again, still smiling gently, "What's wrong?" ”

Fu Yiran looked at him again, but there was nothing left, and the mist just now seemed to be just an illusion for a moment.

"I'm here to tell you, your plan for tomorrow will be suspended first, and I will talk about it after the three directors come back from the palace to meet you."

"Why? What are your plans? ”

Fu Yu just smiled, rubbed her hair again, and prepared to get up and leave.

Fu Yiran stretched out his hand to grab him, looking a little displeased.

"What do you want to hide from me? Am I so untrustworthy? What am I, a puppet you manipulate or a canary? ”

She was really angry, and the fragrance that gradually wafted in the air was the truest proof of this.

Fur suddenly stretched out his arms to hug her, and his tall body made him have to half-crouch to fully embrace Fu Yingran in his arms.

He stroked her long hair spread out on the Luohan bed over and over again, watched them fade in color, and apologized repeatedly, "I'm sorry, don't be angry, how can I not trust you?" You are the only person I believe in this world, even if you say that the sun is square, bitter gourd is sweet, and ears are used to drink water, as long as you say it, I will believe it. ”

Fu Yiran was still angry, but suddenly she was happy, and said in her heart, where am I so unreasonable.

As soon as he turned his head, he straightened his face again and pushed his arms away.

"Don't try to coax me, why don't you tell me anything if you believe me. Since you came to Peach Blossom Spring Village, you and the owner of the village have taught and received privately, and you have not seen anyone all day, so you left me here alone, and left me for anything. We're in this together! ”

Fu Yan saw her seriously angry, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she quietly watched her vent, her eyes full of connivance.

"Privately Teach and Receive the Word......"

"Is that the point, don't try to change the subject!"

Fu Yu nodded obediently, looking like a good baby listening to his husband's lecture.
