Seeing her expression, Fang Xiu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you think that your appearance is too despicable and too inferior?" ”

Shangguan Haitang shook his head and said with a straight face: "I think that I can't use any means to treat the enemy too much!" ”

Speaking of this, a blush appeared on her face, and she whispered, "Humble is just curiosity......"

"Curious about what?"

Shangguan Haitang held back for a long time, and he was not embarrassed to ask, but said, "It's nothing." ”

“......”

Fang Xiu glanced at Shangguan Haitang, a little speechless, but he didn't ask any more.

The products produced by the system are all flesh-and-blood people, and they all have their own personalities and habits.

As long as he is absolutely loyal, Fang Xiu doesn't bother to care about the rest.

"Then do as you say."

Fang Xiu waved his hand.

Shangguan Haitang's expression became serious, and he bowed and said, "Yes!" Master! ”

............

Following.

On the official road outside Chang'an City.

In the midst of the catkins, two lavishly decorated carriages slowed down.

Wu Guozheng's envoy, Hu Shifan, a member of the Ministry of Rites, sat in the carriage in front.

Lift the curtain and take a peek.

People came and went, dressed in coarse cloth clothes covered with patches.

Seeing this, Hu Shifan showed disdain on his face, and said: "Sure enough, it is a barbarian land, a small country and widows, all of them have arrived in the capital, and the people are still so barren!" ”

Side.

Deputy Envoy Li Zhengdao: "Qianguo is indeed a barbarian land, but it is not a small country and a widow.

Master Hu knows that the land of Qianguo is three times the territory of my Great Wu. ”

Hu Shifan said disdainfully: "There is a lot of land, what is the use, it's not that you can't grow food." ”

Speaking of this, he seemed to think of something, and a smug smile appeared on his face, and he said, "The only good land has been replanted with grapes. ”

When Li Zheng heard this, he sent a sycophant at the right time.

"If it weren't for Lord Hu's clever plan, how could the imperial court destroy a large number of fertile fields in Qianguo without much effort."

"Master Hu's peerless intelligence is really admired by the teaching officials!"

Hu Shifan was proud in his heart, waved his hand and said: "It's just a small ploy that can't be put on the table, and in the whole world, only the idiot of the prime minister of Qianguo can take the bait!" ”

Speaking of this, he seemed to think of something and asked:

"By the way, what's the name of that prime minister of Qianguo?"

Li Zhengdao: "Fang Xiu! ”

"That's right, Fang Xiu!"

Hu Shifan's eyes showed a touch of coldness, and he said coldly: "I heard that this official has heard that this time it was Fang Xiu's idea to kill my Great Wu grain merchant indiscriminately!" ”

"It seems that he still failed to learn a lesson last time, I don't know that I am a big Wu, and he is not a prime minister of a small country who can provoke him!"

Speaking of which.

He looked at Li Zheng and said in a frivolous tone: "Li Zheng, you are optimistic, when you arrive at Honglu Temple, how will the official handle him!" ”

Li Zhenglu hesitated and persuaded: "Lord Hu, when the lower official came, Lord Shoufu instructed ......."

As soon as he spoke, he was interrupted by Hu Shifan.

"I don't need you to say it, this official knows, it's nothing more than to accept it when he sees it, lest the dog of the Qianguo jump over the wall in a hurry and start a war with my Great Wu, so that the court will fall into a situation where the enemy is on the back of the belly."

Li Zhengdao: "My lord is right, since this is the case, the lower officials think, it is better not to cause trouble, so as not to cause accidents." ”

Hu Shifan glanced at him and said, "Li Zheng, you are still too cautious, and sometimes it is not a good thing to be cautious." ”

"That prime minister of Qianguo is just a fool, what else does he know besides looting the people's fat and people's ointment?"

"Such a person, what is there to be afraid of."

"Besides, the official just wants to see him get out of trouble, and he doesn't have to take action himself."

When Li Zheng heard this, his face was worried, and he wanted to say something more.

However, before he could speak, he heard a noisy sound outside.

The carriage gradually stopped.

"Arrived?"

Hu Shifan lifted the curtain and took a look.

In front is a majestic city wall.

On the city wall, there are five steps and one post, standing guards.

At the gates of the city, a small number of armored soldiers were patrolling.

Pedestrians come and go, in an endless stream.

"Although Chang'an City is not big, it is indeed prosperous, even if it is placed in my Dawu, it can be ranked fifth or sixth!"

Hu Shifan sighed.

Li Zheng replied: "After all, it is the capital of a country, and it is normal to be prosperous."

It's just that apart from Chang'an, there is nothing else that can be done. ”

As he spoke, he looked at the city gate.

The eyes searched for something.

After a while, his brows furrowed slightly, and he sighed, puzzled: "According to the etiquette system, when my Dawu mission comes to visit, even if Honglu Temple does not treat each other with the courtesy of nine guests, it should send someone to greet him, beat drums and play music, why is there no movement now?" ”

When Hu Shifan heard this, he looked at the location of the city gate, except for the pedestrians coming and going, it was really empty!

"In the past, when my Dawu mission visited, which time did Honglu Temple not treat each other with the gift of nine guests!"

"This time, the people of Qianguo have eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall, and they dare to be so lazy!"

Hu Shifan's face was gloomy, and his eyes were full of anger.

On the way here, he had already thought about how to give the officials of the Qianguo Honglu Temple who received him a dismissal.

Who would have thought.

They have all arrived at the gate of the city, and they haven't even seen a single hair of their families!

Li Zheng listened to this, and said in his heart: You can't let this Yanei's temper spoil things!

He hurriedly opened his mouth to reassure: "Lord Hu, don't worry, Honglu Temple may have other things, I am busy and forget, the lower officials will send someone to announce, let them hurry up!" ”

Hu Shifan snorted coldly and said, "Tell them that my Great Wu Mission has arrived, and we will greet them with the gift of nine guests, otherwise this official will be waiting at the city gate!" ”

"Good!"

Li Zheng answered, stepped out of the carriage, called a guard, gave a few orders, and returned to the carriage.

Followed by.

It's a long wait.

Hu Shifan and Li Zheng first talked about the past of "destroying the fertile land with a clever plan", then talked about the war with the Yue Kingdom, and then talked about ten years of hard study, and finally talked about nothing to talk about.

The guard hadn't heard from him yet.

Don't say it's Hu Shifan.

Even Li Zheng, who has always been calm, is a little impatient at the moment.

Hu Shifan frowned, his face was gloomy, and he said coldly: "Why haven't you come yet?" ”

Li Zhengdao: "The lower officials will urge again." ”

After saying that, he got out of the carriage again and ordered the guards to go to the temple.

Then came another long wait.

They are the gates of the city that come at the end of the day.

Now is the end of the day.

From five or six o'clock in the dawn to ninety o'clock when the sun is high.

For four or five hours.

Not to mention the Honglu Temple that you are running to, even if you climb to it, it should be enough for three or four round-trips!

At this moment.

Hu Shifan and Li Zheng are both a little hungry!

Hunger is secondary.

The point is!

As time passed, more and more people entered and exited the city gates.

Pedestrians of all ages, young and old, looked at the carriage with strange eyes, as if they were looking at some novel animal.

This kind of look, even through the curtain, makes them sit still, and there is an indescribable discomfort.

Finally.

Hu Shifan couldn't bear it anymore, slapped the table, and scolded: "Barbarian land, ignorant and rude!" ”

"What do you say, this official won't serve anymore!"

"Li Zheng, return to Beijing with this official!"

Li Zheng also knew that Hu Shifan was angry, and was about to open his mouth to dissuade him and give him a step.

Suddenly, the voice of the guards sent to Honglu Temple was heard outside.

"Great, sir!"

"You must call the shots for us!"
