After entering the city, I saw that the road was stone-faced, and there were many shops on both sides, which seemed quite prosperous. Many people stopped to watch. Those who knew the Tao said that this was a goddess, and many words of praise were born.

When he arrived at the palace gate, he dismounted with Xu Cheng contemptuously, and contemptuously let Sister-in-law Jiang follow behind him, accompanied by Lu Li and Jin Yan into the palace. In the palace, the houses are carved with beams and columns, which is indeed magnificent. In the middle of the main hall, a man wearing a civil official uniform and an elegant face was waiting there.

"Miss Contempt," he said, arching his hand, "my king asks you to enter the temple at once." ”

Xu Cheng smiled and said: "Contemptuous girl, this is Shaozheng Xu Jin, you just follow his arrangement!" ”

There is nothing to be done with contempt, and I don't know what position Lu Dao Shaozheng is, maybe he is a duty officer, so he followed. But Sister-in-law Jiang could only wait outside the hall. When he entered the temple with contempt, he saw a wide road leading to the throne on the other side. On both sides of the road were low tables, but no one was sitting, and all the officials were standing in front of the low tables, all dressed in gorgeous court clothes, very respectful, and they all looked at Ran in amazement. And on the throne, a man in his forties—this was contemptuous speculation—wearing a crown and a royal robe, was looking at Contemptuous. Next to him, Xie Jingliang sat on the ground, looking very humble. Behind Xie Jingliang, Yazi and Erdan sat there, both cowering, and they didn't dare to make a sound when they saw contempt.

Xu Cheng, who was parallel to contempt, whispered: "The one who is sitting in the seat is my king, you have to kneel." ”

Snorted contemptuously, she didn't want to kneel!

Shaozheng Xu Jin came to King Xu and reported: "The girl has arrived. ”

King Xu's voice was not high, but it was majestic: "Please come close to the contemptuous girl, excuse me, and sit down!" ”

Contempt felt that this King Xu might be younger than his father, but it was pleasing to the eye, and there was no bad appearance - Contempt Ran loved watching cartoons since he was a child, and he felt that those guys who did all kinds of bad things had bad intentions. She sat opposite Xie Jingliang on the other side. King Xu asked her about her family situation and personal experience, and was very sympathetic to the set of changes that her parents died and she was alone caused by contempt.

Ignoring the contempt, the ministers below had all gathered on both sides of the throne, standing and listening to their conversation, and the positions were obviously also distinguished by status, and the great Sima Xu Cheng took the lead. It's strange with contempt, isn't there any Taishi, Taifu, Ling Yin and the like, that is, the first and second leaders...... Wait, why is it gone?

After King Xu asked, he ordered all the officials to retreat from the court, and asked the young man to arrange Yazi, Erdan, and Sister-in-law Jiang to rest in the other courtyard, and led Ran and Xie Jingliang to the study alone. In the study, there is a low long table, on which are piled up some bamboo slips, and all the shelves against the wall are around, layer by layer, and there are also bamboo slips.

Xie Jingliang sat on both sides of the long case with contempt. Xie Jingliang exclaimed: "The king is really a well-educated monarch!" ”

King Xu shook his head: "The widow looks at Mr. is a well-educated person!" Mr. is so familiar with the deeds of the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties, and analyzes the rise and fall so thoroughly, which is rare in the widowed Xu Kingdom. The widow wants to ask my husband to help me, I wonder if the gentleman is willing? ”

Xie Jingliang arched his hand: "Although I am a reckless person, I was born in Xu State, grew up in Xu State, I am an authentic Xu country, I am willing to do my best for the king!" ”

King Xu was overjoyed and said, "The widow temporarily named you as a commonplace, this is an idle position." You often listen to the call of the widow and accompany the widow to discuss some national affairs, okay? ”

Xie Jingliang hurriedly got up and kowtowed: "Little minister Yanglang, thank you King Longen!" ”

Contempt was very surprised: How can this Uncle Xie understand the way of ancient officialdom so well? And the word "Longen" seems to be somewhat familiar. By the way, this is a common phrase used in those Qing Dynasty dramas: "Thank you Lord Longen." "Hey! This Uncle Xie can really show off his crown and Li Dai.

King Xu waved his hand: "Xianqing, please get up." Xie Jingliang sat down again, and King Xu sighed: "You may have known that the widow has been troubled recently, and the jade seal has been lost." Contemptuous girl, the widow is all up to you, and the jade seal has been recovered. ”

Gave his hand contemptuously: "I will serve!" ”

King Xu said solemnly: "Contemptuous girl, the widow now appoints you as a pedestrian!" ”

was stunned for a moment, I didn't know what kind of official Lu Dao was, and I didn't know how Lu Dao should respond.

"Contempt, hurry up and thank you!" Xie Jingliang reminded her.

Contemptuously still sat still, and arched his hand: "King Xie!" ”

Xie Jingliang was a little anxious, and wanted to persuade her and instruct her on how to thank King Xu, but King Xu waved his hand: "This is also a false position, and the girl doesn't need to thank her." The widow will give another gold medal to the girl of Contempt, and the subjects, etc., if they see the gold medal, they will see the widow! Come! ”

Shaozheng Xu Jin came in from outside the door, came to King Xu, took the gold medal handed over by King Xu, held it in both hands, and came to Contempt. Get down on your knees and lift the gold medal. Take it with contempt. The gold medal is very exquisite, and there is the name of King Xu and the seal on it. Hey! If this thing can be brought back to modern times, it will definitely be worth a lot of money, and maybe it can afford to buy a building!

King Xu said: "I know that if the girl is contemptuous of the Dao Dao and performs the magic again, it will take some time. The fact that the girl was repeatedly sinister on the road also shows that this matter is dangerous. Although the two of you are idle, they can also be compared to the position of the Great Sima's subordinate officials. Each of the widows will give you two hundred gold, and each of you will give a set of houses. Xu Jin, you immediately asked someone to clean up the two idle mansions on the right street in the city for the two virtuous people to live in. ”

"No." Xu Jin had to order him to go.

Although Xie Jingliang did not leave his seat, he arched his hand: "King Xie!" ”

He glanced at Contemptuously, and Contemptuously had to give up his hand: "King Xie!" ”

King Xu shouted: "Summoning Lu Li!" ”

Lü Li came in, and after giving his hand, King Xu ordered: "Lü Li, you immediately hand over the affairs of the camp to Jiang Dong and come to serve as Sima of Xucheng." When the city was camped, the widow had two guards for the girl of Contempt, but he did not protect the girl of Contempt, so the widow no longer used them. That's where you take responsibility. You must put in order to clean up the soldiers and horses, especially the mansions of the Yang Lang Sikong and the contemptuous pedestrians on the right street, to ensure safety. ”

Lu Li replied: "No! ”

Only then did she remember that when she was camping in the city, Jin Yan had assigned her two bodyguards. But the two bodyguards were never seen again. It turned out that the bodyguard was matched by King Xu, but Jin Yan said that he was specially matched with Contempt, which shows that Jin Yan is still dishonest.

King Xu said: "Lu Li, you are a person who is extremely trusted. You are the champion of the three armies on the battlefield, and your prestige among the army and the people is very high, so the widow will be reused for you. However, this time, you shouldn't have brought Miss Contempt to the royal city as a suspect. Yang Lang Sikong has already told me that Miss Contempt has nothing to do with Changle's death, and she will have to mention it in the future. ”

"No!" Lu Li's face was ashamed, "Please rest assured, this kind of mistake will not be committed again!" He hesitated, "Your Majesty, you may not know that the girl has excellent boxing skills and has defeated me. “

"Huh?" King Xu was shocked, "Miss Contempt, do you really have such ability?" “

Said contemptuously: "I'm just a three-legged cat." “

Lu Li said: "She is not a three-legged cat's kung fu, but she has excellent boxing skills and peculiar steps. I beseech my king that he will allow me to worship her as a teacher. “

"What?" Contempt shrugged him up.

King Xu Ha Lu Ha Da smiled: "Lu Li, do you really want to worship her as a teacher?" ”

"No lie!"

"Ha Lu Ha! Lu Li, Lu Li, you are really a martial idiot! Well, as long as the contemptuous pedestrian agrees, I'm fine. However, in that case, you will become a super disciple! ”

"Super disciple?" Lu Li was very interested in this title, "Okay, Great King, I agree to be a super disciple." ”

Lu Li was about to kneel down and worship his master. King Xu hurriedly waved his hand: "Stand down and talk about it!" ”

"No!" Lu Li agreed, walked out of the city, and looked at Ran with hope before leaving......

Contempt, his heart pounding. How could she accept Lu Li as a disciple!

King Xu was still laughing and said, "Contemptuous girl, Lu Li is a brave general, and he is extremely obsessed with martial arts. He wants to be your disciple, and it seems that you are indeed outstanding. However, in the end, it depends on your attitude, and I will not force it. You don't have to be too careful about people like Lu Li. He usually enforces the law very strictly. You still have to forgive him. “

Said contemptuously: "Please rest assured, the king, I am not a person with a small belly." However, I really can't be his master. “

King Xu laughed again: "Then it depends on his Lu Li's creation." Come! “

Shaozheng Xu Jin came in.

"Set up a banquet immediately, I will entertain Yang Lang Sikong and Contemptuous pedestrians."

Shaozheng promised to leave.

Xie Jingliang took the opportunity to say: "King, since you have appointed me as the Sikong, I will take his position and seek his government." The neighboring Yi country, did it require an embankment to be built by the river? ”

"Yes." King Xu was surprised, "Is there a problem here?" ”

"There is indeed a problem."

King Xu sighed: "Aiqing, you don't know, King Yi and the widow are the same ancestor. Our two countries have lived in peace for thousands of years, and they are like brothers! The land of Yi is only 100 miles, and it is all puddles and low humid land, and most of the Chinese people can only live on boats, lacking food. Therefore, the king of Yi asked me to build a long embankment by the river to prevent flooding, so that the low humidity can grow grain and maintain food and clothing. I felt that what he said was very true, and I had agreed to his request. ”

Xie Jingliang said: "Did the king think that although the embankment built can be waterproof, once the big water discharges the embankment, it can break my Xu Kingdom?" ”

King Xu said suspiciously: "Do you think this is a conspiracy?" ”

Xie Jingliang said calmly: "I don't rule out this possibility,"

King Xu nodded, pondered for a long time, and replied: "What Aiqing said is extremely true, and the widow will definitely consider it." ”

Xie Jingliang no longer insisted. During the meal, Xie Jingliang secretly said to Contempt: "Do you know the outcome of the construction of the embankment by the Yi State of Ludao?" Yi Guo This is a conspiracy against Xu Guo under the planning of Wu State. In 512 B.C., it was the breach of the embankment built by the Yi State that completely washed away the Xu State, leading to the destruction of the Xu State. ”

"Oops!" He exclaimed contemptuously.

Xie Jingliang said: "Do you know the ending of the Yi Kingdom?" and perished. A group of people from the Yi State migrated south, eventually forming the Yi people. Therefore, the ancient Yi people still retain the script of the Xu Kingdom. ”

Contemptuously admired Xie Jingliang's knowledge.

But she didn't have time to study anything else now, and the plan of the big Sima Xu Cheng made her worried. Through today's series of contacts, she understood that Xu Cheng was an important minister of Xu State, and if she eliminated him, she would also grasp the military power of Xu State. So, who exactly wants to use her Qin Contempt to achieve his goal?

Contemptuous didn't know much about the situation in Xu Guo, plus he was young and didn't understand anything political and military, so his head hurt when he thought about it, and he didn't understand it.

Perhaps, you should find Xie Jingliang and ask him to help with ideas?

Contemptuously rejected the idea.

Judging from the use of cross-border threats, at least the following two points are very clear: first, the conspirator knows the details of Lu Dao's contempt, and even grasps the family situation of Contempt, and in this Xu country, only Xie Jingliang and Jin Yan are insiders. The second point is to master the entrance and exit of the time tunnel, so that you can accurately find the right time point and enter the right time and space, and this seems to be something that only Jin Yan can do. Therefore, Jin Yan is the most suspicious of the behind-the-scenes instigators who control Contemptuously, followed by Xie Jingliang. She Qin Contempt must think carefully, and she can't throw herself into the net!
