Chapter 296: The Envoy Gaffes
The atmosphere in the room was extremely embarrassing, and the king of Canglan and the maid beside him glanced at each other, and then the maid smiled and said: "The prince of Zhenguo is really fast-talking, no wonder he has won the trust of His Majesty and admires him." ”
A faint smile rose at the corner of Lu Li's mouth, but his eyes were black, and he couldn't see the slightest smile, so he didn't eat this set at all.
Seeing this, King Canglan also knew in his heart that the contradiction between Lu Li and the envoy was more difficult than he imagined, and it was no wonder that Lu Li spoke directly to the emperor in anger, making the emperor cancel the peace with Canglan.
However, is it just because the envoy offended his wife that Lu Li was so disgraceful to the envoy?
Just thinking about it, Lu Li spoke again: "The king came to my mansion this time, and he still doesn't know what happened?" Please speak up, the king. ”
"Zhenguo Gong is too worried, Lone has long heard the name of Zhenguo Gong's bravery, so he came to Shangjing and came to visit." King Canglan said with a smile: "When I saw it today, it was really extraordinary, and I admired it." ”
Listening to King Canglan's praise, Lu Li's smile became more and more sarcastic, he stood up with his hands in his hands, looking at everything around him indifferently, and there was always a somewhat sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth.
He doesn't have an official position in the imperial court now, but he is just a false name of a prince, he can't stay in Beijing for a year, and he doesn't have to worry about the emperor everywhere, let alone the vicissitudes of the king? He knew what the other party was here for, and he thought that King Canglan was a cheerful person and would directly explain his intentions, but now that he saw it, he saw it wrong.
Seeing Lu Lipi's smiling appearance, King Canglan couldn't sit down, so he had to get up and say: "Actually, Lone knows that the Duke of Zhenguo and Lone's envoy are a little unhappy and have some small contradictions. ”
As he spoke, he came to Lu Li, and continued: "But Lone believes that all this is a misunderstanding, and it is all provoked. After a while, all it takes is this envoy to explain everything, and a large number of Zhenguo will surely forgive him, right? ”
When he said the last few words, King Canglan looked straight into the eyes of Lu Li, with a little certainty.
Unexpectedly, Lu Li snorted lightly after hearing this, didn't give the other party a face, walked straight to the side, turned his back to the king of Canglan and said: "The king doesn't know, the contradiction between me and the envoys of your country is not instigated by others, and it is not a misunderstanding, it is that I have seen the despicable things done by the envoys with my own eyes." ”
As he spoke, Lu Li suddenly turned around, and then made a big salute: "If the king insists on letting me forgive the envoy and wants me to reconcile with the envoy, then I am afraid that I will live up to the king's wishes." ”
"Zhen Guogong! Lu Li! King Canglan's face became more and more unbearable, his jaw tightened, and his face was displeased.
But Lu Li didn't have any fear, but continued: "I admire the king's personality and the king's achievements over the years, but all this has nothing to do with your envoys!" Does he need the king to come and intercede for him when he has done wrong? Then the face of this envoy is inevitably too big, right?! ”
Hearing this, King Canglan was stunned for a moment.
He thought it was Lu Li who looked down on his small country, but he didn't expect it to be ......
It seems that the contradiction between Lu Li and the envoy is really not small, at least it is impossible to fix it in a short period of time, since this is the case, then there is no need for him to have trouble with Donglan's Zhenguo Duke for an envoy, after all, the shop that Huali wants to cooperate with is his wife's property, and he also needs Zhenguo Gong to speak in front of the emperor.
Thinking of this, King Canglan smiled, walked briskly in front of Lu Li, and patted the other party's shoulder affectionately, "Zhenguo Gong is too worried, Lone just knows that his envoy has done wrong, so he specially brought him to make amends to Zhen Guogong, as for forgiveness or not, it is Zhenguo Gong's business, and Gu has nothing to do." ”
Hearing this, Lu Li was about to nod, but he didn't want to kneel on the ground and be silent for a long time, so he suddenly straightened up, rubbed his knees on the ground, directly grabbed Lu Li's clothes, and cried: "Please also ask Zhenguo Gong to atone for his sins, Weichen definitely has no intention of targeting you, let alone persecute your lady, I hope Zhenguo Gong will forgive Weichen!" ”
After speaking, the envoy kowtowed to Lu Li while crying, and his forehead slammed on the carpet, and his voice was muffled.
Looking at the other party's crying appearance, not to mention the king of Canglan, even the servant girl standing aside couldn't stand it, such a person, as an envoy of Canglan country, represents the face of Canglan, but now he is acting like this, it is too embarrassing!
"Envoy!" King Canglan's face turned pale and he scolded angrily: "What are you doing here? If you are wrong, admit your mistake and apologize, you cry like this and beg the other party for forgiveness, which is different from the shrew in the market? ”
was scolded by King Canglan like this, the minister's continuous kowtowing action froze, and the hand that pulled Lu Li's shirt was slowly withdrawn, but the crying still did not stop.
The envoy sobbed, and his shoulders shook, which made the Canglan King even more displeased.
He closed his eyes, opened them again, and finally suppressed the anger in his heart, and then waved his hand with disgust and impatience, "The envoy has a sudden illness, you take the envoy back first, be sure to find a doctor for diagnosis and treatment, don't leave the post house for a few days." ”
Before the envoy could wipe away the tears from his face, let alone what the king meant, he was forcibly carried out by the king's servants, and soon left the gate of the Lu Mansion and went all the way to the direction of the post house.
There were no more chaotic voices in the main hall, and Wang Shang suddenly felt a lot quieter, and even his mind was a little clearer.
He looked at Lu Li with a smile, "The envoy lost his temper, which made the prince of Zhenguo smile." ”
"Next time, the king will send people to Canglan, but you must choose carefully, and don't let such unpopular envoys tarnish the face of Canglan country." Lu Li arched his hand, indicating that he didn't care.
Fortunately, this Canglan King is also an informal person, he smiled heartily and revealed this matter.
Because Lu Li had led the army to fight in the north before, and he had always had a yearning for the north, and Huali had already informed the king of Canglan about the cooperation with Su Xiaoman, so although the envoy just now had a toss, fortunately, the king and Lu Li didn't mind.
Through the chess game, the two wanted to have a pleasant greeting, so they went back to their respective homes, but the more they talked, the more interesting they found each other, and the chess game also lasted from noon to evening.
King Canglan was glad that he didn't misunderstand Lu Li because of the envoy, and Lu Li was also glad that he didn't suspect King Canglan because of the envoy's personality, the two talked for a long time, and found each other interesting, like friends who hadn't seen each other for many years, which was very interesting.
After all, this Canglan King was able to rule a country at a young age, and his wrist and Zhiyong were not very comparable, Lu Li thought that this king was deep in the city, but after getting along and talking today, he found that the other party was completely different from what he imagined, and Lu Li couldn't help but start to re-examine this king.
And according to the conversation with the king of Canglan, Lu Li learned that the other party was not forcing the emperor of Donglan to make peace with Canglan, but just wanted to find a few Donglan people to teach Canglan people some planting, weaving and other skills, so that Canglan could develop as soon as possible and no longer be controlled by others.
The other party did not hide it, and Lu Li naturally said everything, and it was precisely because of this that the two talked more freely and wantonly.
It wasn't until the evening that the maidservant reminded him again and again that King Canglan had to get up and say goodbye: "When I saw it today, Zhenguo Gong was really as rumored, even more admirable than the rumors, and I admired it." ”
"Where, where." Lu Li bowed embarrassedly and said goodbye: "Before, I was prejudiced against King Canglan, but when I saw it today, Lu Li was ashamed." ”
Listening to the two of them praising each other back and forth, the maid couldn't help but remind again: "Your Majesty, it's not too early, you have to enter the palace tomorrow, and the king has to go back and rest as soon as possible." ”
"In that case, then Lone will come to play chess with Zhenguo Gong next time." King Canglan bowed slightly, and then turned to leave.
Lu Li hurriedly followed, until he saw King Canglan get on the sedan chair at the door, and the sedan chair gradually went away, he couldn't help sighing, and then turned around and prepared to go back.
However, as soon as he turned around, he met Su Xiaoman.
The other party came alone, not even bringing pearls and jadeite, and looked at it with small eyes, frowning a pair of beautiful eyebrows, staring at himself and not letting go.
Lu Li coughed a few times uncomfortably, tidied up his clothes casually, and asked, "Why did you come out?" “
"Listen to the people, you get along very happily with the king of Canglan." Xiao Man still looked at each other with the same eyes, and his tone was full of doubt and distrust.
After all, Lu Li's attitude when he talked about King Canglan before was completely different from his attitude after seeing the real person now, Xiao Man didn't believe it when he heard the next person, so she took advantage of Wangshu to read, she sneaked out to take a peek, and saw that Lu Li and King Canglan were really as people said, which couldn't help but make Xiao Man even more confused.
Is this Canglan King going to be a Gu, otherwise how could this land change be so great?
Seeing Xiao Man's puzzled and scrutinizing appearance, Lu Li couldn't help laughing, he stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Man's shoulder, and said as he walked forward: "I know, I talked too much with the king of Canglan, so I accidentally forgot you, here, I will make amends to you." ”
After speaking, Lu Li stopped, turned to face Xiao Man, and gave her a full gift.
However, Xiao Man didn't have the heart to play with him here, she took Lu Li's hand, frowned and asked, "Tell me quickly, what is this Canglan King doing here?" What the hell are you talking about with him, and how did you talk about it for so long? ”
Lu Li looked at the other party, raised a smug smile, deliberately pursed his lips and did not speak, and sold enough guanzi.
Seeing this, Xiao Man grabbed Lu Li's arm and shook it, and dragged out a coquettish tone: "Lu Li, good husband, just tell me." Well? I promise, I'm never going to tell me what you're telling me, okay? “
Lu Li still smiled, but his body was slightly close to Xiao Man, and then leaned over.
Xiao Manchu came up happily, but heard the other party say, "I'll go to the palace first." ”
