Just when Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi were looking at the sky in a daze, there was a small sound that attracted their attention.

The two of them, the husband and wife, turned their heads together, and found that Mu Fengyang didn't know when, he was already standing in the patio. This light work is really remarkable.

Gu Panxi hurriedly said: "Master Mu, how is it?" ”

Mu Fengyang smiled, hugged his fists, and said with a smile: "The old man can live up to the expectations of the alliance leader and the marquis. The secret letter has been sent, and the king leads the old man to send the message back. ”

"Say it, say it!"

Seeing Gu Panxi's impatient appearance, Mu Fengyang didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly sent a message to Wang Xi.

"Master Hou, the leader of the alliance, the commander of the king said, tomorrow at noon, see you in the old place of Wang'an Town."

"The old place ...... Wang'an Town"

When Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi heard this, they immediately glanced at each other and understood what Wang Xi meant.

Early the next morning, Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi were ready to set off, but fortunately, they arrived in Wang'an Town ahead of time.

In order not to annoy people, the two of them used the old trick to rub the donkey cart of the old farmer who came to deliver fruits and vegetables to Lu Xiaozi's workshop. Along the way, the husband and wife talked to the old farmer, and heard that the old farmer's son had married not long ago, and the two sincerely blessed him, and immediately took out a silver ingot and gave it to the old farmer as a congratulatory ceremony.

The old peasant couldn't refuse, so he accepted it with a smile, and at the same time waved his whip and whipped the donkey's ass a few more times, urging it to speed up.

He who drives a donkey receives money, but he who becomes a donkey suffers. Fortunately, there are no animal protection associations in this era, otherwise I am afraid that this old farmer will inevitably suffer a loving beating.

As soon as they went to Wang'an Town, Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi hurriedly found the restaurant where the two of them stayed last time. The old place that Wang Xi is talking about, there is no doubt that this is what he refers to.

Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi caused a lot of turmoil in Wang'an Town, and their appearance has been remembered by the people in Wang'an Town. This time, I came again to discuss with Wang Xi, and I was inevitably recognized by the people in Wang'an Town, who all disguised themselves a little and pretended to be ordinary businessmen passing by.

As soon as they entered the door of the restaurant, Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi saw Wang Xi. To their surprise, Wang Xi had no disguise at all, and showed his true face in such a grand manner.

However, Gu Panxi thought about it for a while, and wanted to hide people's eyes, but she was with Shi Feiqing, Wang Xi disguised or not, in fact, it was not a big problem, and she was relieved.

Under Wang Xi's signal, the two walked into a private room, and as soon as they sat down, Wang Xi ordered the wine and food to be served.

Before Xiao Er sent all the dishes, Shi Feiqing, Gu Panxi and Wang Xi didn't speak. The three of them waited until Xiao Er said "Slow use of the guest officer", bowed out of the door, and closed the door of the private room, Wang Xi broke the silence.

"Master Hou, madam, the lower officials have lost their ......"

As he spoke, Wang Xi was about to get up and salute. Shi Feiqing stopped him and said, "Commander Wang, there is no need to be polite. This time the situation is special, so it's better for you to pretend that the two of us are ordinary businessmen. ”

Wang Xi raised his eyebrows, smiled, and nodded knowingly.

"Speaking of which, there is another such master in the mansion of Lord Hou and his wife, which is really the envy of the lower officials. That master, but the newly gathered backbone of the Divine Machine Army? ”

Wang Xi said, and couldn't help but tease, "Xiaguan, as the overseer of the Divine Machine Army, if he doesn't know anything about these things, I'm afraid that it won't be reasonable." Master Hou, madam, are you saying that what the lower official said is right? ”

Gu Panxi waved his hand and said, "Commander Wang, Commander Wang, you misunderstood. That's just

Our friends. How can such a small temple as the Divine Machine Army accommodate such a great god? ”

Wang Xi laughed and said, "Yes." The Divine Machine Army already has two great gods, Lord Hou and Madame, and there is really no need for a third one! ”

With that, Wang Xi picked up the wine glass.

"No matter what important things the Hou Ye and Mrs. have today, if they want to use the form of secret letter to find the lower officials, let's have a drink first and talk about the joy of reunion after a long absence! Xiaguan, drink first as respect! ”

As soon as the words fell, Wang Xi raised his head and drank the wine in the cup. Seeing this, Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi smiled and toasted back.

After drinking the wine, it's time to cut to the chase.

Gu Panxi can find Wang Xilai, but he regards him as a life-saving straw, so naturally there is no reason, and there is no need to play dumb riddles with him. She put down her wine glass and said straight to the point: "Commander Wang, our husband and wife are looking for you, in fact, we have something to ask." Mrs. Ben is no longer going around, Commander Wang, dare to ask the court recently, is there any major event being prepared in secret? ”

Wang Xi's eyes flashed, he pondered for a moment, and asked, "Why did Madame say this?" ”

Seeing that Wang Xi didn't immediately answer whether she was yes or no or didn't know, Gu Panxi's heart was half cold, but the matter had come to this point, and she couldn't retreat halfway.

"Does Commander Wang think that Mrs. Ben and Hou Ye's past operations will be full of loopholes, and once they are excluded by the imperial court, they will become deaf and blind, and they will not even receive a little rumor about the affairs of the imperial court?"

Gu Panxi was so coaxed and frightened, it was really a last resort.

Gao Zhiyuan will make the judgment that she and Shi Feiqing will lose, and immediately become a grass on the wall, pretending to be stupid with the two of them, Wang Xi may not necessarily make the same judgment as Gao Zhiyuan and take the same measures.

If Gu Panxi wants to get a valuable word from Wang Xi's mouth, the only way to show her strength is to make Wang Xi feel that she and Shi Feiqing are not so vulnerable.

Wang Xi heard Gu Panxi's intentions, silently raised his glass and drank another glass, and said lightly: "Madame misunderstood, the reason why the lower officials asked this question was not out of snobbery, thinking that Madam and Hou Ye would definitely lose in this struggle, so they made their positions clear in order to protect their future interests." The lower official would ask, just out of pure curiosity. ”

As Wang Xi spoke, he raised an eyebrow, "There are no more than ten people in the court who know about this matter. Moreover, these ten people must have been coaxed and frightened by King Yan and King Wu, and they were silent about Lord Hou and his wife. Gao Shangshu, who was most likely to leak this matter to the two, was also taken care of by King Yan. That's why Xia Guan is curious, how did the Hou Ye and his wife hear the rumors and grasp the clues? If Mrs. doesn't answer this question, I'm afraid that the lower officials won't be able to be honest with Mrs. ”

"The foundation of cooperation is mutual trust. The cornerstone of trust is to be honest enough. Madam, I don't need to tell you about this matter. Wang Xi raised his glass again and moved to Gu Panxi.

Gu Panxi gritted his teeth.

Wang Xi said this, which is tantamount to confirming that in the Dawu Imperial Court, under the impetus of Shi Feizheng and Shi Feidu, they are secretly preparing for a great event. And this major event, even if it is not aimed at Shi Feiqing on the surface, it must be harmful and unprofitable to Shi Feiqing.

As soon as he thought of this, and then thought of Shi Feizheng who ran into Shi Feizheng at the gate of Gaofu yesterday, and Shi Feizheng ran to intimidate Gao Zhiyuan, Gu Panxi was so nervous that his palms were sweating.

These two bastards, in the end, did it. What did they come up with? How are you going to do harm?

Gu Panxi must figure out this question, so she must pry Wang Xi's mouth open.

There is no way, Gu Panxi is the only way

Confessed: "Mrs. Ben has eyeliner in Jiangnan, and I learned that the government has collected good silk from all over Jiangnan and is ready to send it to Le'an Mansion. This is not the time to pay tribute, and it is not a festival celebration, and this abnormal behavior will certainly attract the attention of Mrs. Ben. Yesterday, Mrs. Ben and Master Hou asked Gao Shangshu to inquire, but Gao Shangshu let us eat the closed door. Taken together, wouldn't it be too stupid for Mrs. Ben to fail to perceive the clues? ”

Wang Xi opened his mouth, smiled and nodded.

"Madame is truly remarkable. is not only keen, but also has a lot of eyeliner, and it actually goes deep into Jiangnan. Xia Guan admired. ”

"All right, Commander King." Gu Panxi saw that Wang Xi was still talking about soup, so he immediately frowned and urged, "Mrs. Ben has already put her heart into you." How long will the king still sell Guanzi? ”

Seeing that Gu Panxi was so anxious, even Shi Feiqing was a little surprised, he pressed one hand on Gu Panxi's hand, and said lightly: "Panxi, don't worry." The king also has time to weigh the pros and cons. ”

Saying that, Shi Feiqing turned his head to look at Wang Xi and said, "Don't be surprised, Commander Wang. Uchiko is so worried about Benhou's future, so she is so impatient. ”

Wang Xi immediately got up and hugged his fists, and said apologetically: "Master Hou, where are you talking about this?" It was indeed the arrogance of the lower officials that made Mrs. unhappy. ”

Under Shi Feiqing's signal, Wang Xi sat down again, pondered a little, and said, "This matter, it's not that the lower officials can't tell the Hou Ye and Mrs. The lower officials only hope that after the Hou Ye and his wife know about it, they will not act rashly. Otherwise, I am afraid that many people will be implicated. ”

Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi both nodded solemnly.

Gu Panxi patted his heart and said: "Commander Wang, rest assured, I, Gu Panxi, am not a scheming person, you should know this." ”

"It's nature." Wang Xi touched his chin, and finally confessed, "What the imperial court is secretly preparing is to make peace with the Xiongnu." ”

"And pro?"

Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi both raised their eyebrows.

"Exactly."

Wang Xi nodded, "The battle of Tumubao seems to have changed the belligerent situation of the Huns, and they are determined to make peace with my Dawu, hoping that my Dawu prince can marry a Xiongnu princess." The Huns are open-minded, saying that the married princess does not have to occupy the position of the main room, and there is no problem to be a side concubine or a side lady. With such a low posture, I am afraid that there will be some big problems within the Xiongnu, which will make them eager to reconcile with our Dawu. ”

Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi listened, they were secretly speechless, and couldn't help but nod in agreement with Wang Xi's judgment.

Gu Panxi said in his heart: Could it be that I used Ale's strategy to succeed? But this kind of thing, she can't talk to Wang Xi.

Wang Xi continued: "The imperial court collected good silk and other things, which was prepared for this peace. As for the candidates for harmony......"

Wang Xi raised his eyebrows and looked at Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi's faces, "It's a little special." ”

Shi Feiqing hadn't noticed anything wrong yet, so he said straightly: "The eldest emperor's brother, the second emperor's brother, and the sixth emperor's brother have never been married. It's just that the eldest emperor's brother is older, his status is respected, and he can't accept harmony, and marrying the Hun princess is such a self-surrendering identity, thinking about it, this candidate should be the second emperor brother or the sixth emperor brother, right? ”

After listening to Shi Feiqing's analysis, Wang Xi just smiled bitterly, as if he wanted to be bold, he picked up the wine glass and drank another glass, smashed his mouth, and said: "Master Hou's inference is indeed reasonable. It's a pity that they didn't hit. As the lower official said, the candidate for harmony this time is very special ......"

As he spoke, Wang Xi put down his wine glass, hugged his fist at Shi Feiqing, and said, "Master Hou, the candidate for this peace is you." ”
