Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Frost is Heavy and the Autumn Colors Are Thick
After the bloody cleansing of the inn, Ying Nantu and Qiu Wu parted ways. Ying Nantu still wanted to go to celebrate the birthday of his old friend, so he didn't go back with Qiu Wu and them, he solemnly thanked Qiu Wu and others for saving their lives, and didn't say much about gratitude and repayment.
When Qiu Wu was leaving, Ying Nantu also asked him to bring a message to Shen Ning, which was still a thin envelope, although Shen Ning had said earlier that he would no longer accept his letters, but after the matter of Anjing, Qiu Wu and Ying Nantu had some sympathy for each other, so they took the envelope, just like when they came, and returned to Jingzhao with Liu An.
Ying Nantu didn't stay in Anjing anymore, he had already rested to feel the scenery of Anjing. When he saw that the red maple forest was still as red as the sun outside Anjing Town, he couldn't help but show a mocking smile on his face, the position of the prince? He has never been rare, but he didn't expect her to wait so long, he was able to buy the people around him to set up this game, since she wants to play, then he will play with her, the mouse and the cat play, it depends on whether she has the ability.
In the past ten days, Shen Ning's days are still as usual, in the morning he went to Mingxuan to ask Shen Yu's family, by the way teasing his nephew Shen Qingde and younger brother Shen Yuchen, and at night in the study with Shen Zejing, father and daughter talk about the history, at noon or in Qingzhuju to practice calligraphy, or go to the semi-idle residence and Shen Mi to paint. It's just that before going to bed at night, I always unconsciously think of Ying Nantu's things in Anjing.
I don't know if Qiu Wu can catch up with Ying Nantu, I don't know if Ying Nantu received her warning, and I don't know if Ying Nantu is as calm as in her previous life, so she can't sleep well at night.
Fortunately, Qiu Wu and the others had returned, and Shen Ning knew that Ying Nantu was safe and sound, and couldn't help but let out a long breath, thinking that he could finally save him, or break the trajectory of his previous life, and he was relieved.
When she opened Ying Nantu's letter, a red maple leaf fell from it, the shape was intact, and the red color had not disappeared; Looking at the letterhead again, there are only five words: the frost is thick and the autumn color is heavy. The stroke is still magnificent, the meaning is self-evident, seeing these five words, Shen Ning smiled, between her and Ying Nantu, as long as they don't talk about love, this kind of getting along is pleasant and ironing.
Contrary to Shen Ning's pleasure was the face of the Marquis of Qingping, Li Shi Tieqing, standing in front of her was the man in black who came back from An Jing to recover his life, I didn't expect this little bastard to be so blessed and fateful, such a seamless design could not destroy him, fortunately, that Ying Gui was already dead, if he turned back, I am afraid she would be difficult to get out.
Although Li is the same mother as Li Guifei, she is different from Li's gentle and gentle appearance, she looks like a beautiful person, and at this moment she is asking the man in black: "Do you see who those people are?" ”
The man in black shook his head: "I didn't see it clearly, the night was too dark, and besides, they also covered their faces, these people suddenly jumped in from the window." After a pause, the man in black said again: "Your Highness the Fifth Highness asked his subordinates to tell Madame that this matter should not be rushed. What the man in black didn't say was that Shangguan Changzhi originally thought that this matter was nine out of ten, but he didn't expect that it would lose a lot of manpower if it didn't go as he wished, and his tone was not very good.
"I know, I'm not going to act rashly anymore. Thank you for me, master. "For Shangguan Changzhi's nephew, the Li family is also very respectful, there is no arrogance as an elder at all, and he can listen to his words, thinking that he will wait for that little bastard to return to Jingzhao and then plot slowly.
It is said that after the Dayong mission set off from Jingzhao, Shen Zeru has been very distressed, and he has no intention of enjoying the scenery along the way, and he did not start to cheer up until he was close to Xiyan.
After passing through Lingnan and Xining, the mission stepped into the territory of Xiyan, on the border, there were already soldiers of Xiyan who were waiting for the town, under the escort and leadership of the generals, the mission passed through the towns of Xiyan Jibu, Polong, etc., after the wind and dust, it lasted more than a month, and finally came to Yandu, the national capital of Xiyan.
As soon as the mission entered Yandu, they saw an acquaintance Sima Zhen, it turned out that he was the main envoy of this reception, remembering that Sima Zhen was drunk and dead at the farewell state banquet last year, Fang Congzhe and Shen Zeru and others all showed meaningful smiles.
Sima Zhen still looked arrogant but his eyes rolled, they were all acquaintances, they laughed at each other, one side said that it was hard and hard and the other side said that it was okay, Fang Congzhe took everyone to settle down in the embassy. According to the plan, they will stay in Xiyan for nearly two months, and there is quite plenty of time, and the matter of jointly sending troops can only be discussed after the state banquet.
Xiyan's reception state banquet is also very grand, and Dayong last year is also about the same specifications, Xiyan Emperor Sima Zheng is younger than Emperor Changtai, and he is also a lot taller, with thick beard and thick eyebrows, looking like a general and not like a monarch, Shen Zeru remembered that this Sima Zheng won the throne by virtue of military merits, so he didn't think it was strange.
This state banquet did not have a process such as a talent test, but added a link such as fighting wine. Sima Zhen performed exceptionally well because he was fighting at home, and he poured all the officials of the Dayong Mission into pieces, and finally avenged the drunken hatred in Dayong last year.
The people of Hu's Anhetang have settled down on Zhaohui Street, a famous commercial street in Yandu, and Shen Zexue and Shen Yuzhang are also following Anhetang, waiting for news from Shen Zeru. They brought a lot of medicinal herbs and tea this time, and they also passed the tacit approval of the Tea Horse Division, and it is estimated that they can also make a lot of profits after this trip.
There were originally a lot of Dayong businessmen doing business here on Zhaohui Street, and many of these Dayong businessmen also married local women in Yandu, so after many years of mixing, the children of merchants here on Zhaohui Street have the characteristics of Dayong and Xiyan, and even some have received the household registration documents of Yandu, but the soldiers of Yandu still censor these people very strictly, and there are many surveillance actions, but no Dayong businessmen dare to do that kind of thing to spy on the news, and the Dayong Dynasty may have infiltration behavior, but the local businessmen don't know, Therefore, if the Shen clan and Hu clan want to open up the situation in Yandu, it is really difficult, Shen Zexue and Shen Yuzhang are only here to assist, and the real ones are Shen Jihe and Shen Yuyi.
Shen Jihe is older than Shen Huashan, and after staying in Siguo for more than ten years, he is not very familiar with Xiyan now, and everything has to be picked up from scratch. Fortunately, Xiyan's accent has not changed much, he is also quite tall and strong, and if he retouches his face, he can't see that he is a Dayong person for a while, and Shen Zeru was also surprised when he saw Shen Jihe's dress.
After the state banquet, the three of them were discussing how to plan the household registration documents of Yandu. Although the embassy was heavily guarded, Xiyan did not dare to blatantly monitor and track the Dayong officials, and even if it was surveillance, the main focus was still on Fang Congzhe and Xu Shenxing. Shen Jihe pulled out his luggage, took out a box from it and handed it to Shen Zeru, this box was twice as large as an ordinary jewelry box, and said, "Whether this can be done or not depends on it." ”
Shen Zeru opened it and smiled, yes, this thing, whether it is Dayong people or Xiyan people, they all love it very much, and they also want to get it, planning every day, maybe it is also for it - the box is full of silver tickets, a whole box.
