In the huge golden hall, the emperor was sitting on the couch to review the folds, and suddenly heard the eunuch say that the prince of Zhenguo was visiting, and he was very anxious. He couldn't help but put down the fold in his hand and looked up at the window.

It was already completely dark, the palace was lit up everywhere, and when I looked closer, the moon had already come out.

It's so late, what is Lu Li doing in the palace? He also said that there was an emergency......

"Your Majesty, the Duke of Zhenguo is still waiting outside." The old eunuch on the side reminded in a low voice.

The emperor coughed lightly and picked up the fold on the table again, "Announce it." ”

After a while, Lu Li arrived in front of the emperor, and after kneeling and saluting, before the emperor could ask, he hurriedly spoke: "Your Majesty, the minister has something important to discuss with you, which is related to the peace with the Canglan country." ”

The emperor, who was not taking it seriously, couldn't help but immediately put down the fold, got up with the support of the eunuch, and asked: "What did you say, and kiss?" ”

"That's right!" Lu Li's face did not change, and he said resolutely: "King Canglan came to the minister's mansion in the afternoon, and after some conversation with him, the minister learned——"

"Learned what? Say it! The emperor was in a hurry, a pair of eyes stared at Lu Li, and the wrist supported by the eunuch trembled uncontrollably, looking extremely excited.

Lu Li stole a glance, then cleared his throat, and said: "According to King Canglan, he doesn't want His Majesty's princess, or the county lord of Donglan, he wants to find someone to make peace with, he just wants to help Canglan, and wants this person to pass on Donglan's skills to Canglan." ”

After speaking, the room was silent, and even the sound of burning candles could be heard clearly.

I don't know how long it took, the emperor suddenly sighed, but this sigh sounded more like a sigh of relief to Lu Li, he couldn't help but raise a shallow smile, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Lu Li, can you confirm?" The emperor asked again.

Lu Li saluted and kowtowed, "The minister guarantees, this is what the king of Canglan said personally, and the minister has nothing to say." ”

Since he can say this to himself in person, he must have meant that the king also wants him to inform the emperor of these words, so that the emperor will not be embarrassed again.

Since the king of Canglan came to Beijing, the emperor held a banquet in the palace, and let the king live in the palace for several days. Otherwise, how could this Canglan King suddenly change his mind and stop stubbornly asking for and kissing?

It's just that if King Canglan said this, it would inevitably be suspected of backsliding, so he took the initiative to find Lu Li, and said it through the mouth of the other party, so that the emperor could understand his hard work.

In this way, the emperor will no longer have to worry about the matter of harmony, and will thank and admire King Canglan for this move, and it will be even more impossible to take the initiative to be his enemy in the future.

Three birds with one stone, the king of Canglan is indeed wise.

Lu Li can still analyze these, and the emperor can naturally know the good intentions of King Canglan, he was supported by the eunuch to return to the soft collapse, and gave Lu Li a seat, saying: "In this case, I and those courtiers can also breathe a sigh of relief, but ......"

As he spoke, the emperor raised his head, his eyebrows still frowning slightly, "The person that King Canglan wants, does Lu Qing have a candidate in his heart?" ”

"If you go back to the emperor, does Your Majesty still remember that the minister's wife Su Xiaoman cooperated with the caravan?" Lu Li smiled slightly, looking confident.

The emperor suddenly brightened, "You mean to let your wife Su go to Canglan?" ”

But soon, the emperor denied his idea again, he frowned, and persuaded bitterly: "What is the Canglan country?" There is snow all year round, and in such a cold place, where can your wife and a woman's family live? Lu Li, do you really bear to let your wife go? ”

This errand is a hot potato, and it is too late for others to hide, but this Lu Li took the initiative to take it on himself.

"The emperor can rest assured that the ministers and his wife have traveled everywhere over the years and don't care about the environment at all. And the minister's wife cooperated with Canglan State, how did she have to go to Canglan, the emperor didn't have to worry about it. Lu Li arched his hand and explained in a deep voice.

The emperor nodded, thinking: What the other party said is also right, where is this Su family, Lu Li will definitely go with him, and this Su family's craftsmanship has also been seen by himself, if this Su family is allowed to go, it can indeed solve the confusion of the king of Canglan.

"Good!" The emperor waved his hand, "Lu Li, then I will agree to your request, and when I discuss with the king of Canglan tomorrow, I will personally recommend this Su clan." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lu Li knelt down and bowed.

Seeing that the time was not early, Lu Li was busy retiring, and in order to show his attention and favor, the emperor specially ordered a few guards to protect him, and escorted Lu Li back to Lu Mansion on horseback all the way.

Because he hadn't told Xiao Man the truth before, Lu Li hurried to the palace on horseback. The doubts in Xiao Man's heart could not be answered, and she had no intention of doing anything else, so she waited in the main hall until she heard the voice of Lu Li entering the mansion.

She hurriedly came out to greet her, and stepped forward to ask, "Tell me quickly, what did you say to that Canglan King, and what are you going to do when you enter the palace?" Speak up, talk fast! ”

Seeing this, Lu Li couldn't help laughing, he casually took Xiaoman into his arms, and walked towards the dining room side by side, "I'm hungry, let's eat first, and I'll tell you later." ”

"Oops!" Xiao Man shook him off and pouted dissatisfiedly: "You know that I am a person who can't listen to stories with a beginning and an end, but now you still tease me like this!" Lu Li, I have been waiting for more than half of your envoys in that main hall, and now you are prevaricating me with food! I don't care! You have to tell me! ”

Saying that, Xiao Man was like a liar, pouting, glaring, and crossing his waist in front of Lu Li, with a big meaning that if you don't tell me, I won't let you pass.

Lu Li couldn't help but laugh even more, he leaned into Xiao Man's ear, paused for a long time, and when the other party was full of expectations, he said, "I'm really hungry, let me go to eat first, okay?" ”

After speaking, he straightened up, covered the other party's cheek with one hand, and said dotingly: "Don't worry, this is definitely good news, a very, very big good news, and it has something to do with you, I will tell you sooner or later." So, let's talk while we eat, okay? ”

Xiao Man scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, then sighed and compromised: "Okay." ”

The two went to the dining room hand in hand and found that Wangshu was already sitting in his place.

Xiao Man stepped forward with a smile, sat next to Wangshu, rolled up his sleeves for the other party while talking, and set the tableware in front of him: "Wangshu, have you finished all the homework left by Grandpa Xia?" ”

"It's done." Wangshu nodded obediently, looking at Xiao Man with a pair of eyes, with a little nervousness and expectation, which was a little different from the ordinary calm and calm Xiao Wangshu.

Smart and clever as Xiaoman, she naturally saw that her son was different from the usual, she pursed her lips and smiled, leaned over to the same height as Wangshu, looked into the other party's eyes, and asked gently: "Wangshu has something to tell his mother?" ”

After finishing speaking, Wangshu lowered his head a little embarrassed, revealing a small and round top of his head. Xiao Man has hardly seen this twisted appearance, the smile on the corner of her mouth can't help but become more and more gentle, and her voice is much softer: "Wangshu, if there is anything, tell your mother directly, okay?" ”

Under Xiao Man's constant encouragement, Wang Shu finally raised his head, licked his lips, his eyes were still looking at Xiao Man, and whispered: "Mother, Grandpa Xia is going to Shuangcheng in a few days, Wang Shu wants to go with him, is it okay?" ”

"Twin Towns?" Xiaoman was puzzled.

This is not the name of a place near Shangjing, she and Lu Li have traveled everywhere over the years, and they have never heard of such a place, this Twin Peaks Mountain, what is it? “

Seeing Xiaoman's doubts, Wangshu took the initiative to explain: "Shuangcheng is a small town under Liucheng, five hundred miles away from Shangjing. Mr. Xia was going there to visit an old friend, and by the way, he was going to inspect the local customs, and Wangshu wanted to go with him. ”

This Shuangfeng Mountain is so far away from Shangjing, and Wangshu is a child, and Old Man Xia is also old, the two of them went together, Xiaoman was a little uneasy no matter what, and he didn't know what Lu Li meant......

Thinking about it, Xiao Man couldn't help but turn around to see what Lu Li meant.

After receiving Xiao Man's gaze, Lu Li stepped forward and sat down, looked at Wangshu seriously, and asked, "Then how long will it take to go to Shuangcheng this time, who will go with you, and also, are you prepared that no one will serve you?" ”

This time I went with Old Man Xia, and there would definitely not be too many servants to follow, so although this Wangshu was small, he would definitely have to take care of himself when the time came, which was unbearable for a young master who was taken care of and served by his subordinates?

Facing Lu Li's eyes and questioning, Wangshu quickly replied: "Wangshu is ready!" Wang Shu traveled with his mother and father before, and he was already used to it and adapted, and besides, Grandpa Xia allowed me to take two people with me, so I can definitely take care of myself. ”

After listening, Xiao Man and Lu Li were silent.

Wangshu will soon be four years old, but he is still just a child, and let him take his two retinues and the old man to such a far place, and the two of them are still not at ease. Ke Wangshu's eyes were clearly full of anticipation, and they seemed to attach great importance to and liked this trip, and they couldn't bear to refuse each other ruthlessly, but ......

After thinking about it, Xiao Man clenched his palms tightly and took the lead in speaking: "Okay, my mother promises you!" ”

Wang Shuden jumped down from the chair, his little face was full of excitement and excitement, but soon, he calmed down again, biting his lower lip and looking at Lu Li nervously.

He knew that if he wanted to go out with Grandpa Xia, he not only had to ask for his mother's consent, but also had to ask his father to support him.

Feeling the child's expectant eyes, Lu Li frowned and thought for a long time, finally looked at Wangshu, took a deep breath, and said seriously: "Wangshu, I can agree that you and Grandpa Xia will go to Shuangcheng Town together, but the premise is that you have to promise me one thing, is it okay?" ”
