A few days later, when Shen Cuobai received the Daduan State Letter in the early court, an ominous premonition struck.

The guards presented it, and under the gaze of the ministers, Shen Cuobai opened the letter of state in front of him. The powerful handwriting lay flat on it, and after a long time, Shen Cuobai gently put down the national letter.

"Emperor Daduan died of illness, and the crown prince Sui Chen has ascended the throne as emperor." Shen Cuobai said softly, "Sui Chen invited the people of Eastern Qi to participate in the banquet of Daduan. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that at this time, we don't need to pay attention to Daduan, we should send Master Su Chengtuo as an envoy, if there is anything unreasonable, we can just find a reason to make Daduan pay the price!"

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's inappropriate for Lord Su to go, it's better to send a civil official, if Daduan detains Lord Su, won't we lose a fierce general?"

"The Emperor's ......"

The ministers kept talking below, and Shen Cuobai couldn't help but feel a little big when he heard it. "Needless to say, I will go to this big end myself. I haven't seen the old man for three years, and I also miss that Sui Chen a little! ”

"Your Majesty, no, that Sui Chen is insidious and cunning, if he has bad intentions, the ministers are really worried about the emperor's safety!" When the ministers heard Shen Cuobai say this, they were not arguing about who would send the envoy to Daduan, but they all opened their mouths to persuade Shen Cuobai.

Shen Cuobai rubbed his head helplessly, it was a good thing that this courtier could work together, but it shouldn't be at this time.

"I have made up my mind, Jiang Heng, you go and prepare for this matter. After I go back, explain it to Xuanyi. Shen Cuobai said to Jiang Heng, Jiang Heng responded, and the ministers wanted to dissuade him, but Shen Cuobai couldn't listen to it.

At night, Shen Cuobai sat in Wei Zhaohua's room, leaving only a lone lamp to accompany him.

"Zhaohua, I'm leaving Dongqi tomorrow, do you hear me? But if you come back now, then I won't leave. ”

The only thing that answered Shen Cuobai was the slight flickering light and the faint sound of the wind outside, and after a long time, Shen Cuobai sighed and walked towards his room.

By the time Jiang Heng had prepared everything, Cheng An had already prepared what Shen Cuobai needed.

After five days of traveling, the group walked to the junction of Daduan and Dongqi - Liancheng. As the name suggests, this is the place that connects Daduan and Eastern Qi closely, and the trade is close, and it is the most prosperous place to develop outside the capital of the two countries.

"Jiang Heng, everyone hasn't had a good rest for many days, so let's rest in Liancheng for two days."

Jiang Heng responded and ordered the guards to prepare the inn, and a group of more than ten people settled in the inn in Liancheng.

Shen Cuobai stood in the house, looking down at the street outside the inn, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Although there is no one to control this Liancheng, it is really not to be underestimated that it can develop to this point."

"The sky is high here, and the emperor is far away, and many gangs on the rivers and lakes have a foothold here, and the fish and eyes are mixed. If you send a high-ranking official from the capital, I am afraid that you will not be flattered. Jiang Heng also said.

Shen Cuobai nodded, "Today."

It's still early, let the guards go around if they're okay, and you can go down with me. It would be a pity if you didn't get anything out of the city. ”

"Yes." Jiang Heng won, and Shen Cuobai walked downstairs with a smile on his face.

Shen Cuobai and Jiang Heng were walking on the road, and they already had good looks, if they were in the capital, they would definitely cause many people to look back, but the people here seemed to be no stranger. There are people selling everything in the streets and mountains, and the things of the Eastern Qi and the big end are mixed together, so that people are dizzying.

"Mask Mask! A good-looking mask! ”

The shouting came, and Shen Cuobai suddenly thought of something and walked towards the stall selling masks. The mask seller was a middle-aged uncle who saw Shen Cuobai walking towards him, and his heart was overjoyed.

"Why don't you see what kind of mask you like? If you have someone you like, why don't you buy one for that sweetheart? The uncle looked at the two people in front of him, the clothes were of the highest quality, and they should be rich people.

Shen Cuobai took off a mask, and at the Lantern Festival, he and Wei Zhaohua also bought masks together.

Shen Cuobai picked a devil's mask to wear on his face, while Jiang Heng chose the appearance of an ordinary deer, and the two of them felt particularly interesting to wear on their faces. Jiang Heng handed the uncle a silver ingot, and the uncle hurriedly thanked him.

"Childe, wearing a mask is a good way to hide your identity." Jiang Heng couldn't help but say, and his mood also relaxed.

Shen Cuobai nodded, "If Liancheng can be collected as our Eastern Qi place, it will be a fertile land." ”

It's not surprising that the streets are bustling with people and pushing and shoving from time to time. Suddenly, a small figure shuttled back and forth in the crowd, and Shen Cuobai looked at the child's head and face covered with mud, presumably a beggar.

The beggar fell in front of Shen Cuobai, originally with a good heart, but the beggar was still startled when he saw the mask on Shen Cuobai's face. Can't stand up, "Don't hit me!" Don't hit me! I'll just give it back to you! ”

As he spoke, the beggar took out a red hijab from his bosom and threw it out. Shen Cuobai let go of the beggar and held the hijab in his hand. Jiang Heng couldn't help but smile dumbly, "I don't know whose red hijab this kid robbed, but it's not worth much!" ”

Shen Cuobai held the red hijab in his hand, and a sense of déjà vu struck.

Shen Cuobai stood up and looked around, since this child was snatched, then the owner of this hijab should be nearby. However, the crowd was bustling, and there was indeed no heat to find the hijab in a panic.

The familiar feeling came, and Shen Cuobai only felt that this hijab was extremely familiar. When he took Wei Zhaohua out to play, he happened to meet a wealthy businessman throwing hydrangeas, and Shen Cuobai at that time got a hijab and threatened to marry Wei Zhaohua when he went out.

If the hijab in your hand is the one you used to be, then Wei Zhaohua, where are you?

"Childe? What are you thinking? Jiang Heng looked at Shen Cuobai's dejected appearance, and also felt that there was something wrong with this red hijab.

Shen Cuobai pinched the red hijab in his hand

,The feel is exactly the same as the original.,It's really no different when you look closely.,Maybe it's just that I'm thinking too much? "It's nothing, I'm tired, let's go back."

When the figures of Shen Cuobai and Jiang Heng disappeared into the sea of people, a red figure slowly left from the darkness.

At noon the next day, Shen Cuobai and his entourage went on the road and continued to go in the direction of the capital of Daduan. After another four days of traveling, Shen Cuobai and his entourage arrived at the national capital of Daduan.

The capital of Daduan does not look different from the capital of Eastern Qi, and the streets are full of hawkers. Shen Cuobai and his entourage did not delay, and went directly in the direction of the Daduan Palace.

The Daduan Palace knew and knew that it was a VIP who came, and hurriedly informed Sui Chen. After a while, the national teacher came over to greet him with a flattering smile on his face.

"The old man has seen the Emperor of Eastern Qi, the Emperor of Eastern Qi Wanfu Jin'an, I haven't seen him for three years, and everything is fine with Emperor Dongqi?"

Shen Cuobai looked at the palace lightly, and did not take a look at the national teacher. "Lao Guoshi remembers, three years ago and now, everything is fine with me."

Shen Cuobai said neither humbly nor arrogantly, but the national teacher couldn't react. According to Shen Cuobai's temper, the most direct reason for Wei Zhaohua's death three years ago was Sui Chen and his party, how could they really not find any anger now? It wasn't until the people around him reminded him that the national teacher reacted.

"It's all the mistakes of the old man, my emperor is discussing with the ministers in the Hanlin Academy, the old man first took the Emperor of Eastern Qi to settle down, and when it was evening, my emperor would personally set up a banquet for the Emperor of Eastern Qi to pick up the wind and wash the dust." The national teacher said with a smile, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, Shen Cuobai only smiled faintly, and took the lead in walking inside.

The national teacher led the way in front, secretly observing the faces of the people next to him from time to time, but he couldn't see anything wrong. Shen Cuobai looked at the scene of the Daduan Palace, but it was really ingenious, and it was not inferior to Dongqi.

"Emperor of Eastern Qi, this is it. This is An Yun Pavilion, if the Emperor of Eastern Qi is not satisfied, the old man will send someone to change the courtyard for you? The national teacher said with a smile.

Shen Cuobai raised his eyes, just in time to see the three words "Anyun Pavilion", and bowed slightly, "That's it, don't bother anymore." ”

After receiving Shen Cuobai's affirmation, the national teacher was obviously very happy, "This is Xuanyue, if you have anything in the palace, you can find Xuanyue, and Xuanyue will tell the old man that he will not neglect the Emperor of Eastern Qi." ”

The national teacher pulled a little eunuch next to him and said, the little eunuch stepped forward and saluted Shen Cuobai, Shen Cuobai responded lightly, and walked inside. The national teacher sent everyone in with a smile, only then did he restrain the smile on his face and said to Xuan Yue on the side.

"But you must take good care of the Emperor of Eastern Qi, no matter what the request is, try to meet him! If there is anything unusual, come to me as soon as possible! ”

"Yes!" Xuan Yue answered, and the national teacher looked at the inside of An Yun Pavilion again, but he couldn't see anything, and only turned around and left after half a salary. There was already a thick coldness behind him, this Shen Cuobai was able to hide his emotions so well,

It's really not a thing in the pool, it seems that Wei Zhaohua's death is really a hurdle that Shen Cuobai can't get over.

The national teacher shook his head lightly and walked towards the Hanlin Academy. When I arrived at the Hanlin Temple, the people inside had been waiting for a long time.

"Master Guoshi, how is Shen Cuobai now?" A figure took the lead in standing up and asked, with a terrifying scar on his face, as if he was a centipede, looking closely, who is this not Shen Chenmo?

The national teacher paused, and only after getting Sui Chen's affirmative gaze did he open his mouth gently, "I'm afraid I won't deal with it!" ”
