"Lord Shangguan!" Jun Qihan bowed his hand back, and after a pause, he changed his words and said, "Now, it should be called His Royal Highness!"
"Let's call me Lord Shangguan, it sounds more pleasant. www.biquge.info"Not long after Shangguan Xiu sat down, An Rong came over with tea. He took the teacup and drank it slowly.
Looking at his calm and unhurried appearance, Xin Jiyao's anger didn't come anywhere. She asked, "Lord Shangguan heard that I waited for the news of the envoy to the Wind Country, so he made a special trip back from Anyang, right?"
Shangguan Xiu put down the teacup and looked at Xin Jiyao with a smile, sometimes, he had to admire the Xin family's well-known ears and eyes, even they knew that they were in Anyang, and they seemed to know everything about the Wind Country.
He said: "The matter in Anyang has come to an end, and it is natural for me to return to Beijing." ”
"The robbed official silver has been found?"
Xin Jiyao was well-informed, Shangguan Xiu was no longer surprised, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "There is no clue!"
She stared at him for a moment, and seeing that there was no sadness on his face, she suddenly said, "The five million taels of official silver, do you plan to fill it up yourself?"
Shangguan Xiu didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "There is indeed such a plan. ”
"Are you really confused, or are you pretending to be confused? Do you really think that the five million taels of official silver were robbed by robbers?" Xin Jiyao sneered and said: "Infighting! Infighting until death! Such a court has rotted to the roots, Shangguanxiu, do you really think that you alone can support the seemingly majestic and magnificent mansion of the Wind Country, but in fact the foundation has been rotted and hollowed out?"
Shangguan Xiu looked at Shangxin Jiyao's aggressive gaze and asked with a smile, "What about General Yixin's opinion?"
"Switching to Haotian is the best way out for you now!" Xin Jiyao said: "I can guarantee that in Haotian, nothing like this will ever happen!"
"With the company of thieves, I am afraid that I will have no shame to see my ancestors after I die. Shangguan Xiu smiled meaningfully, and said: "What's more, is there really no such thing in Ningnan? The world is as black as a crow, and the clan dispute in Ningnan is only afraid that it is more dangerous than the open and secret battle of the Fengguo Imperial Court, right?"
"As long as you are willing to take refuge in Haotian, my Xin family can be your backer!" Xin Jiyao didn't think about it, and blurted out.
Shangguan Xiu smiled, stood up, and said, "Thank you General Xin for your kindness, but I can only understand it." ”
Xin Jiyao glared at him for a while and asked, "You are so greedy for the position of the prince of the country......
Shangguan Xiu waved his hand, interrupted her words, and said, "General Xin doesn't need to say more, I don't want to hear such words in the future." After a pause, he changed his words, and said with a relaxed face: "The person who came is a guest, and the Zhenguo Mansion really has nothing to entertain the two of you now, so let's go out for a light meal!"
His persistence disappointed Xin Jiyao. She said faintly: "Good birds choose trees to perch, virtuous ministers choose the lord to do things, Shangguan Xiu, you really want to hang yourself on this dead tree in the Wind Country!"
Shangguan Xiu sighed lightly, he had warned her just now, but she touched her bottom line again and again. He looked at Xin Jiyao and asked with a smile, "Do you want to fight?"
"Just fight, see if I can wake you up!" Xin Jiyao pulled up his cuffs, that posture really wanted to fight with Shangguan Xiu. Shangguan Xiu waved his hand at her and said with a smile: "Don't worry, my Zhenguo Mansion is not easy to come by, it would be a pity to destroy it, we can go out of the city to fight! ”
"Hmph! I know how to eat ......" she pursed the corners of her lips disappreciatively, but before she could finish speaking, a gurgling sound suddenly came from her belly.
Shangguan Xiu and Jun Qihan's eyes both fell on her, and in an instant, the girl's face turned red, she cleared her throat unnaturally, waved her hand impatiently, and said, "Let's go, go eat, go eat!"
"I really don't know how the people from your Zhenguo Mansion entertain guests, Jun Qihan and I came at noon, but the people from Zhenguo Mansion only give us tea, not even snacks and fruits!"
Jun Qihan rubbed his aching forehead, and subconsciously stood to the side, trying to stay away from Xin Jiyao. What a shame! The two of them, one in command of a group army and the other in command of a legion, complained in front of others that they had not given themselves anything to eat.
Shangguan Xiu didn't care at all, when Xin Jiyao was straightforward, he still admired it. He said: "After I got married, I rarely went back to the Zhenguo Mansion, and most of the cooks in the mansion were dismissed. Where do you want to eat? I'll invite you to this meal!"
"You are the landlord, of course I want you to invite!" Xin Jiyao glanced at him and said, "Go to the most expensive restaurant in the capital!"
Shangguan Xiu burst out laughing. Xin Jiyao raised his eyebrows and asked, "You can ignore the five million taels of silver, do you still care about this bit of food?"
"Let's go! Let's go to Dingque Tower. ”
No one dares to say whether the food in Dingquelou is the best in the entire Shangjing City, but Dingquelou and Tianquetai are definitely the most expensive restaurants in Shangjing.
Walking into Dingque Tower, the first thing that catches your eye is a lobby, in the center of the lobby is erected a tall rockery, surrounded by pond water, and fish swim around it. On the left and right sides of the lobby are public dining rooms, and on the second floor, there are all private rooms.
One of the most famous boxes is called Xiaoqiao Liushui, the box is not only big, the decoration inside is also exquisite and luxurious, especially in the center of the box, there is a wide waterway dug up, not very deep, the clear water flows slowly, eat here, people can drink and chat while soaking their feet, there is a different flavor.
Of course, the price of such a distinctive box cannot be cheap, and the reserve price for eating here is fifty taels of silver. For ordinary people, fifty taels of silver is enough for a large family for a year or two.
Xin Jiyao had heard of the Dingque Building, and also heard of the small bridge flowing water in the Dingque Building, and after going up to the second floor, she said to the shopkeeper who came forward: "Open a small bridge and flowing water box for us." ”
The shopkeeper smiled with a smile on his face, bowed down and said, "Guest officer, I'm really sorry, there are already people in the Xiaoqiao Flowing Water Box." ”
"Someone, then let them out, their accounts are all counted on us!" Xin Jiyao patted his chest and said boldly. It's not easy to slaughter Shangguan Xiu, she won't be soft.
The shopkeeper waved his hand again and again and said: "The guests in the box are not simple, the little ones don't dare to offend, and the girls don't be embarrassed!"
"If you don't dare to offend them, will you dare to offend us......"
Before she finished speaking, Shangguan Xiu waved her hand and said, "Forget it, since there are already people in the box you want, let's change it." As he spoke, he looked at the shopkeeper and said with a smile, "Junior Er, are the other boxes still empty?"
"Yes, yes, yes, you're welcome, please here, here, please!" the shopkeeper nodded and waved his hand to the side.
Shangguan Xiu and Jun Qihan followed the shopkeeper and walked over, while Xin Jiyao stood still and did not move, she looked around and saw an antique sign hanging at the door of a box not far away, which was engraved with the words 'small bridge and flowing water'.
Her eyes lit up, and she strode over, and when she reached the door, she slammed it open.
"Bold!" There were several shouts in the box in an instant, and seven or eight big men walked over to Xin Jiyao who was standing at the door of the room.
She ignored these big men, looked through the gap in the crowd, looked at the three people sitting inside and eating, and looked closely, hey, they were all big people in the Wind Country.
These three are Cai Xiao, Song Sheng and Qiu Yi, who are known as the three giants of the Fengguo Dynasty.
"Who allowed you to open the door?" a big man walked up to Xin Jiyao and stretched out his hand to retreat towards her chest. A cold light flashed in Xin Jiyao's eyes, and his fingers only flicked outward slightly, and a drop of water flew out, hitting the center of the big man's eyebrows.
It was such a small drop of water that knocked the big man on his back, and the center of his eyebrows immediately swollen with a purple pimple.
Seeing this, the faces of the rest of the big men changed, and in an instant, people's bodies were all freed up with spiritual mist. Xin Jiyao ignored them, she put her hands behind her back and said with a smile: "Who am I, it turns out that Lord Cai, Lord Song, and Lord Qiu are here!"
At this time, Cai Xiao, Song Sheng, and Qiu Yi also recognized Xin Jiyao, but they didn't expect to meet her here.
The three of them stood up in unison and said with a smile: "It turned out to be General Xin, disrespectful and disrespectful!" As he spoke, Cai Xiao raised his finger and pointed at the dizzy man who was supported by his companions, and asked, "But the old man's servant offended General Xin?"
Xin Jiyao smiled and said, "It's not offended, it's just too rude." As she spoke, she took off her shoes, swaggered into the box, looked around, and said in amazement: "The small bridge and flowing water of Dingque Tower really deserve its reputation, and it is really a beautiful thing in life to be able to drink and dine here!"
Seeing her coming uninvited, she walked into the box with a grin, Cai Xiao, Song Sheng, and Qiu Yi all frowned secretly. They don't have much contact with Xin Jiyao, and their impression of her is neither good nor bad.
Song Sheng looked displeased, and said in a deep voice: "General Xin, we are discussing here, General Xin really shouldn't come in and disturb." If General Xin wants to eat, please change places to eat!"
No matter how prominent Xin Jiyao's identity and status in Ningnan is, she is just a Ningnan person after all, and in the country of wind, big people of the level of Cai Xiao, Song Sheng, and Qiu Yi will not take her seriously.
Xin Jiyao was about to speak, when Shangguan Xiu and Jun Qihan also walked in from outside.
Seeing the people in the box clearly, they were also stunned. Qiu Yi's eyes were very sharp, and when he saw Shangguan Xiu, he subconsciously stepped forward and said in surprise: "Lord Shangguan, when did Lord Shangguan return to Beijing?"
Shangguan Xiu said with a smile: "Lord Qiu, I have just returned to Beijing, and it just so happens that General Xin and General Jun came to visit, so I will take the two generals to Dingque Tower for dinner!"
As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Cai Xiao and Song Sheng, and said with a smile: "Lord Cai, Lord Song, I haven't seen you for many days, and the two adults are still radiant!"
Song Sheng snorted coldly, didn't even look at Shangguan Xiu, picked up the wine cup, and drank the wine in the cup in one gulp. Cai Xiao asked with a smile: "Since Lord Shangguan has returned from Anyang, has he already recovered the robbed official silver?"
