The first condolence envoy arrived at the inn, Xu Ze was very warm, but when asked when he would leave, he said that his sister was frightened and not in a hurry.

Seeing that the day of the autumn banquet was getting closer and closer, Miss Xu was still in the inn, and the king of Dongjiang, Changshi, was so anxious that he had to send another condolence envoy.

One, two, three...... None of them persuaded Xu Gongzi, and Changshi finally came to his senses.

This Xu Gongzi has made up his mind at all, and it is impossible to urge him to do so. People clearly want to talk about the conditions, so let's tell the prince honestly!

The king of Dongjiang listened while coughing, and then drank the medicine under the service of the maidservant, and asked, "How is the investigation of the attack on Miss Xu?" ”

Changshi paused for a moment and replied: "The minister has already confessed, but there has been no clue yet......

King Dongjiang nodded. The other party disguised himself as a mountain bandit to sneak attack, which is obviously not so easy to find out.

"Don't blame Xu Gongzi for being angry, when he first learned about it, this king was also very angry. Miss Xu was invited by the Dongjiang Palace, and when she was attacked on the way, she slapped the king in the face. ”

Changshi replied, and secretly scolded the Wei family in his heart. If you want to move Miss Xu, if you do it neatly, then forget it, now you can't go up or down, even the prince is angry, how can he help?

But he can't help it, he borrowed the power of the Wei family at the beginning, and after decades, the interests are intertwined, and he can't get rid of them casually.

"Lord Wang, this may have been done by Jiang Yi." Changshi said, "I heard that there is a boat left at the ferry over there, and I am going to go to Songyang." If this thing is really done, it is a slap in the face of our Dongjiang Palace, Jiang Yi will definitely be happy. ”

If they want to say that they have formed an alliance with Nanyuan, the most unhappy person should be Jiang Yi. If Dongjiang and Nanyuan turn their faces, Jiang Yi will definitely hold a banquet to celebrate.

The king of Dongjiang was angry, waved his hand and called the maidservant girl to go down, and said: "This thing is too obvious, it is not like Jiang Yi's handwriting." ”

"Lord ......"

The king of Dongjiang pulled back the topic: "The refusal of the eldest prince Xu to leave is dissatisfied with our disposal. It's really our fault when it comes to this, so let's take a step. Send someone to apologize immediately, explain the reason, and ask them to come to Jiangdu first—wait, you should go yourself. ”

Changshi was stunned. Since the king of Dongjiang was sick, he was responsible for most of the affairs, and he was completely worthy of being the first subordinate of the Dongjiang Palace. It would be too cautious to ask him to pick it up in person, wouldn't this be telling others that Dongjiang had bowed to Nanyuan?

Before Changshi could think of words to refuse, a voice came from outside: "Father." ”

But it was the prince of Dongjiang who came.

The prince of Dongjiang did not come alone, there was a young man behind him, looking at his average age, his appearance was also somewhat similar.

"Wen'er." Seeing his son, the king of Dongjiang smiled.

Li Wen, the son of the king of Dongjiang, stepped forward a few steps forward and supported his father: "Why hasn't my father stopped yet?" It's all this hour. ”

"It's okay, I'm not tired of being a father." Dongjiang Wang smiled and patted his son's hand.

He has been bedridden this year, knowing that time may be running out, and the most worried thing in his heart is his son, although he has been smart since he was a child, but he is too young, and now he is supporting the Dongjiang River, and the responsibility is too heavy.

"Nephew greetings uncle."

A voice came from his ears, and the King of Dongjiang looked up and also smiled: "Erlang, you are here too." ”

This is the second brother's son Li Da, who has few heirs, pays special attention to his children, and is also very close to his nephew.

The second son, Li Da, smiled and said, "How is the uncle?" My nephew just finished patrolling the barracks with his eldest brother, thinking that he hadn't seen his uncle for two days, so he came to take a look. ”

"Thank you, uncle's fine."

After greeting, Li Wen said, "Father, what were you talking about just now?" Looking at Lu Changshi's face, is there something embarrassing? ”

The king of Dongjiang has already handed over the government affairs to his son little by little, and when he asked about it at this time, he asked Changshi to say it again.

After hearing this, Li said with a smile: "Father, Lu Changshi is busy with affairs, so don't let him run around." ”

After hearing this, Changshi breathed a sigh of relief and saluted him. Or is the son of the world considerate, what is his identity? went to greet Miss Xu in person, if she wasn't hired as the princess, how could she be worthy? This time, it really made people pile up the momentum.

Immediately afterwards, he heard Li Wen say: "It's better for me to go, so sincere." ”

The smile on Changshi's face immediately collapsed, and he shouted, "Shizi! ”

Li Wen turned his head and looked at him puzzled: "What's wrong with Lu Changshi?" ”

Changshi finally stabilized his emotions, squeezed out a smile, and said, "Why are you so tired of the world?" Do you have to deal with so many government affairs every day, and you have to find time to serve the sick, or do you ...... Go ahead. ”

He went, but he asked Miss Xu to put up a shelf, the prince went, is there anyone else who is the candidate for the princess in this world?

Li Wen waved his hand: "Other things can be put aside, if this matter is not handled well, it will be called trouble." ”

He turned his head and said to the king of Dongjiang: "Father, this matter can be good or bad. At best, the Xu family thinks that someone else wants to destroy our alliance, not only will they not blame, but they will also get closer. At worst, they feel that this attack is our fault, so let alone form an alliance, it would be good not to turn the other cheek. ”

The king of Dongjiang thought for a while: "What you say is reasonable. ”

With his father's approval, Li Wen smiled and continued: "Master Xu stayed at the inn and didn't leave, it depends on our attitude. They were attacked at the Dongjiang border, and it was because we were not considerate, and if we didn't remedy it afterwards, wouldn't it mean that we didn't pay attention to the Xu family? Then the matter of the alliance has to be thought again. ”

The king of Dongjiang bowed his head: "That's the case, the news hasn't reached Nanyuan yet, otherwise with Xu Huan's temper, it will be even more difficult to get rid of." ”

"Exactly. Now it is Xu Dagongzi who is seeing him off, Nanyuan says that he has a good temper, as long as we are sincere enough, I believe he will not be embarrassed anymore. ”

King Dongjiang nodded. What could be more sincere than the Son himself to greet him? That's a good idea.

Seeing that the king of Dongjiang was about to agree, Changshi couldn't care about it, and hurriedly said: "But the prince, if you really call the prince to go, it will be a signal in the eyes of others." It shows that the candidate for the princess has been decided, and Miss Xu has been decided. Aren't we too passive? ”

Before the king of Dongjiang could speak, Li Wen had already replied: "Lu Changshi, if this doesn't happen, naturally we can't be too enthusiastic, lest the Xu family think that we are in a hurry." But now that it's happened, we have to lower our profile. Miss Xu was frightened, as the host, she always had to say that if she was too reserved, so that the Xu family misunderstood our attitude, and even affected the overall situation, it would be bad. ”

When the king of Dongjiang heard this, he nodded with a smile and expressed his support: "Wen'er is right, you can't be too dignified." For the sake of the big picture, it is nothing to bow your head. ”

That's all said and done, what else can Lu Changshi say? I could only hold my breath and respond: "Yes." ”
