Chapter 312: The Messenger Below

The word "official" is unspeakable, because they were previously miscellaneous servants in the catering department, and they were only temporarily selected to serve as receptionists. Xiangguo Gongzi said angrily, "What are you doing, who is your surname, what is your official position, and how do you plan to welcome us." We've traveled thousands of miles to the Floating City, but we're not here for you to dry the wind. Xiao Ming was stunned by the question, "I, I, I ・・・・・・" Seeing that Xiao Ming was timid, Shang Luhu shouted and asked, "What am I, who are you?"

"Who are you, what is your official position, and what are your grades?" The best counterattack is to return it as it is. Shang Luhu subconsciously said, "I am the ・・・・・・ in front of the palace," Zhang Shengqing, the protector general, reminded, "Land Rover." Shang Luhu died down, "I am the son of Xiangguo, and I have no official position." Xi Yao skimmed Zhang Shengxiang, and obviously found that he was in charge of the three people in this line. "We, like you, don't have an official position, and we're not much more noble than you, so don't get excited. Shang Luhu said angrily, "I will send you two unofficial and unofficial 'hairy' boys to meet us." ”

Xi Yao smiled, "May I ask where the Daxu country is located, the geometry of the region, and the national strength?" Shang Luhu raised his head and said, "I Daxu country, east of the sea, vast territory, and prosperous national strength, at least I should send Sipin Temple to greet me, how can I send you two boys." Xiyao opened the post lightly and read, "Dongbi Daxu country, east of the Canglan Sea, thousands of miles away. The monarch of Daxu is absurd in government affairs, likes the art of immortality, consumes manpower, builds a giant boat, and visits Penglai, an immortal island, on the Canglan Sea. Obey the words, eat children's hearts and livers, and make a big "chaos" in the country. There are fishermen near the sea, who are unbearable and oppressive, known as the Jing Navy, and have captured half of the land of Daxu State. The reception level of the envoys of the Great Xu Kingdom is set at the end. Xi Yao finished reading, "Do you think that such a country, sending the two of us to greet it, is not enough?"

The three envoys of the Great Xu Kingdom were silent, and they seemed to be surprised that the Tianyi Dynasty was well-informed. The civil "turmoil" in Daxu began shortly after the Canghai brothers and sisters went to sea. After a month, the immortal boat did not hear back, and the Emperor Daxu once again recruited boatmen and fishermen on a large scale to prepare for the next voyage to seek immortals. The people of Linhai County finally rebelled under such harsh oppression. They killed officials and rebelled, seized the state city, and were known as the Jing Navy, which became a prairie fire and captured a large area of the Daxu country.

Zhang Sheng, the general of the protectorate, said, "It should be so, please ask the messenger to lead the way." Seeing that they were soft, Xi Yao led them to the city. At this time, the sky was already dark, and the crystal lamps on the side of the road illuminated the floating city as if it were day. Xi Yao pointed to a carriage, "Please get in the carriage." The carriage carried them across Tianfu Avenue and then turned right into a bustling residential area. Here, there are excellent restaurants, quaint shops, and colorful gold caves.

Xiao Ming grew up in the floating city, and in the outer city, it can be said that he is like a fish in water. "This street is a street that officials in the inner city often visit when they are resting, and this area is called splendid. There are the best wines, the most comfortable housing, the best meals, the most expensive jewelry, the most beautiful women, and everything is the most expensive here anyway. Xi Yao looked at the colorful crystal lamps on the surface of the building, and knew that it cost a lot. The occasional delicate face peeking out of the window of the building, as well as the sound of beautiful music, made people's eyes and ears suddenly refresh, and Xi Yao asked uncertainly, "Is this around the building?"

The buildings I saw in Nanbi, the warblers and swallows, the flowers and branches, were very enthusiastic. And the girls here are looking forward to being shining, cold and moving, and their skills are extraordinary. So Xiyao is not sure if this is the so-called building. But whether it is trading spirit or flesh, it is an unclean transaction. No matter how much these art "prostitutes" sell their art or not, they can hardly hide their suffering. Lingering on thousands of faces, it can be a day like laughing and laughing, but all normal people are unwilling to do it.

"This is indeed **, the front yard is full of Qing people who sell their art and do not sell their bodies, and the deeper enjoyment is in the backyard. Xi Yao looked at Xiao Ming, who was a little narrow, "Why, you know so clearly, have you been there?" Xiao Ming waved his hand again and again, "No, don't you 'mess around', if you let Xiao Wen know, it will be a big deal." Xi Yao smiled, "Don't worry, after this mission is completed, you will be transferred to the celebrant division, and when the time comes, Xiaowen will be more devoted to you." ”

Xiao Ming's face was flushed, "I don't know what the result is, before, you treated them like that, I'm afraid our mission failed." Xi Yao smiled noncommittally, "Otherwise, maybe they will be scolded by others, but they will help us in the end." "After the final assignment of a temporary receptionist like Xi Yao, the celebrant will ask the envoys for their opinions. If the messenger has good senses, he can stay in the Ministry of Ceremonies and become a scribe. The scribes of the celebrant are also much stronger than the miscellaneous servants of the priest.

"The celebrant is really well arranged, and it is really a home away from home to let these envoys come to the golden glory. I don't know, these expenses can be all counted on the head of the celebrant. Xiao Ming opened the red post, "Bring the envoy to the splendor, and all the fun will be paid by the envoy." The celebrant thanked the envoys for their tiring journey, and arranged for the post house to provide free accommodation after the splendor. Xi Yao was surprised, this red post is really an all-purpose strategy, no wonder just find a newcomer, without training, to do the task of reception.

"That's a really good plan. Before Xi Yao finished speaking, Xiao Ming smiled bitterly, "There is one last task, which is to check the gifts offered by the envoy, if the gifts are valuable, they will be introduced into the Chenji Hall during the great court meeting tomorrow." If the fish is "touched" in troubled water, it will be introduced into the Changque Palace and received by the two princes. If someone fakes it, it will be handed over to the floating city guard and taken to the lifeless prison. If there is a celebrant and the messenger who are embarrassed to be "traitors" and deceive the superiors and subordinates, once it is verified, they will sit together. ”

"Xiyao, how can we look at the treasures they offered. If we have seen the treasure and lost it, we will certainly not be able to escape our duty. Xi Yao didn't understand, "Why is this?" "There was once an official of the celebrant who coveted the treasures offered, took advantage of his position, and stole them, and then was thrown into a lifeless prison, not knowing life and death. "What if the envoy makes a false accusation?" Xiao Ming shook his head, "they dare not make false accusations, and the messengers who are falsely accused, regardless of their identity, are beheaded and sent back to the country with their heads to be warned." Xi Yao said, "You invite them down first, and in this splendid and joyful, I will wait for you at the post station." Regardless of Xiao Ming's opposition, Xi Yao pushed him down and drove away, this young man needs to complete some things independently, otherwise he will never be able to take charge alone
