"Is it Benhou?"

Wang Xi said lightly, but for Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi, it was tantamount to a thunderbolt on a sunny day.

Dawu wanted to make peace with the Huns, this candidate, but he chose Shi Feiqing, who was in the middle of the age and already had a main room. No matter how you look at it, this choice is incredible, no wonder Wang Xi has emphasized many times that this candidate is very special.

Gu Panxi came back from his shock and asked: "Commander Wang, this candidate is decided, is it chosen by the emperor, proposed by the Huns, or is King Yan and King Wu obstructing it?" ”

Using the word "making a stalk from it", Gu Panxi can be regarded as unceremonious. But at this juncture, she has no polite intentions.

Wang Xi showed a wry smile of embarrassment and said, "Madam, does it matter whether it is proposed by the Huns, or by the emperor's choice, or by the two kings of Yan and Wu?" The important thing is that the emperor has already made a decision, and although this matter has not yet been announced, it will inevitably become a foregone conclusion. ”

Gu Panxi gasped, suppressed the impulse in his heart, and emphasized: "It is very important who put forward the opinion on this matter. At least for Mrs. Ben and Lord Hou, it is very important. ”

Wang Xi pondered for a moment and said, "I'm afraid the lower officials can't say too much to the Hou Ye and Mrs. about this matter." However, for the fact that the candidate is Hou Ye, the Huns are very satisfied. ”

Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi were silent for a while.

Shi Feiqing said categorically: "Ben Hou categorically will not agree to this peace affair." ”

Wang Xi looked at Shi Feiqing, and Shi Feiqing also looked back at him directly.

"Master Hou, you won't refuse. Xia Guan is very clear. ”

Shi Feiqing frowned, and just as he was about to speak, Wang Xi continued: "This matter is a major event related to the future stability of Dawu and the Xiongnu. As far as Xia Guan knows, Hou Ye has always put the family, country and society first, how could he ignore the future stability of Dawu because he is unwilling? ”

As he spoke, Wang Xi looked at Gu Panxi.

"Madame, too. It is because he knows the personality of the Hou Ye and his wife that he will say that it doesn't matter who proposed this candidate. The important thing is that the emperor has already finalized it. This matter will be a foregone conclusion. ”

Wang Xi's words really hit the death hole of Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi. When the two of them made a relationship, their ambitions were for national peace and security, but now in the face of this kind of choice that is really related to national peace and security, how can these two people refuse because of a moment of toughness?

Gu Panxi sighed

angry, said: "This matter is indeed tricky. But ......"

Gu Panxi hesitated for a while, "Speaking of details, this matter is actually not a big deal. Why prepare so secretly. There is already a precedent of Gao Xinning in the non-Qing capital, and Mrs. Ben may not be able to accept a Hun princess anymore, right? ”

Shi Feiqing showed a deflated expression and coughed dryly.

Wang Xi shook his head sincerely and said, "The lower officials don't know this, and they don't dare to speculate. Speaking of which, there is one more thing, the lower officials can inform the Hou Ye and his wife. Once this negotiation is completed, the Hou Ye should personally take the welcoming team to Tumubao to greet the Xiongnu princess's send-off team. That's all the officials know. If he helped the Hou Ye and his wife, Xia Guan was deeply honored, and if he didn't help, Xia Guan could be regarded as doing his best. ”

As he spoke, Wang Xi stood up, clasped his hands, and said, "The lower official has taken his leave." Although today is a rest day for the lower officials. However, as the commander of the imperial guards, it was always inconvenient for Xia Guan to leave Le'an Mansion for too long. Master Hou, madam, this meal, please use it slowly. ”

Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi returned the salute neatly, and then watched Wang Xi push the door out.

Listening to Wang Xi's footsteps in the distance, he poked his head out of the window again, and watched Wang Xi ride the shutter to Le'an Mansion, Gu Panxi let out a long sigh and said, "Feiqing, what do you think?" ”

Shi Feiqing was stunned and swore an oath: "Ben Hou has no idea about that Xiongnu princess at all!" Shameless woman, how can you speculate so much about being a husband? ”

Gu Panxi was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but laugh out loud, feeling angry and funny.

"You son of a, what are you thinking about?! I'm not talking about the Hun princess! I'm talking about what you think about the fact that you are quietly preparing for peace with the imperial court! ”

Shi Feiqing suddenly blamed himself for being impulsive and too fast-talking.

In the husband's view, the father is probably worried that the husband will sternly refuse this marriage. After all, the firmness of your heart for a husband and shameless women is well known. ”

"Phew."

Seeing Shi Feiqing, he quietly pasted gold on his face, Gu Panxi's face was slightly red, he glanced at him, and retorted: "But Wang Jiudan's temperament that puts your family, country, and society first, they are also clear. If they are really just worried that you will refuse the marriage, will they be able to force you to put on a wedding dress and put you in the wedding procession? ”

Shi Feiqing listened to it and felt it too

The suspicion raised by Gu Panxi is not unreasonable.

"If you think about shameless women, you already have an idea, so just say it."

Gu Panxi put one hand on his cheek and said, "I think, I'm afraid there is a deeper conspiracy here." It's not because I'm afraid you'll refuse, but because we want to delay the point where we know about it, so that we can't prepare. ”

"Prepare what?" The time is not clear.

"I don't know. But I'm sure it's not going to be a good thing. Behind this peace affair, there must be a bigger conspiracy. ”

Chattering, Gu Panxi picked up the chopsticks, picked up the back molars before the meal became cold, and began to feast.

Shi Feiqing saw that she was still in the mood to eat when she was troubled, and couldn't help but smile: "You shameless woman, you don't forget to fill your stomach when the sky really falls." ”

"Nonsense." Gu Panxi was nibbling on a piece of stewed oxtail, and replied vaguely, "If the innocence is going to collapse, I will definitely have to eat enough to be a full ghost!" ”

Shi Feiqing laughed out loud and said loudly: "Okay, as a husband, you should also be a full ghost!" With that, he grabbed his chopsticks and began to pick up the vegetables neatly.

After the couple swept away all the delicacies on the countertop, they leisurely walked out of the restaurant and returned to Lu Xiaozi's workshop.

After careful consideration, Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi decided to make a few preparations.

Although they still don't know what the deeper plans of Shi Feizheng and Shi Feidu are, they think that they can't be less prepared.

First of all, the masters.

Since Shi Feizheng and Shi Feidu prepared so solemnly, Feiqing and Gu Panxi at that time could only prepare for this matter as a big crisis. Besides, Gu Panxi's intuition also told her that if she didn't do everything to prepare this time, I was afraid that something would really happen.

In the face of a big crisis, the more masters around you, of course, the better.

Therefore, Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi first tried their best to persuade Mu Fengyang to stay, stay for a while, and then sent someone to send a letter, asking Lin Zhengxuan and Mu Wanwan to put down the matter at hand as soon as possible, rush to Le'an Mansion, go to the Lu Short Workshop, and sit for the two of them.

With the letter, there is also the long-term poison that Gu Panxi promised to prepare for Mu Wanwan, and which was carefully concocted by Tie Muzi. With this poison, Mu Wanwan can feel at ease for the time being, and he won't think about trouble with Xu Zhijie all day long.

This preparation, but secondly, and more importantly, Gu Panxi also prepared an additional letter......
