Chapter 218: King Rui arrives
Chu Wuxian pondered for a moment and continued to walk out, "The envoy of the Zhou State will arrive soon, at this time, Dayan has to be even more united, and no one can see any clues, His Majesty probably also has this concern, so the second prince's grounding has been lifted temporarily." β
"For the time being?" Xin Zhi lifted the sedan curtain for him, "That means that as soon as the messenger leaves, the second prince will be locked back?" β
Chu Wuxian sat firmly, turned around and looked grim, "Then it depends on how much he weighs in His Majesty's heart, go." β
"Yes."
Xin Zhi didn't ask any more questions, put down the curtain and waved his hand, and the sedan chair man immediately lifted the sedan chair with force, and he clenched the knife and followed the side.
β¦β¦
Zhou Guo attached great importance to this marriage, and sent the now favored King Rui, accompanied by officials large and small, plus more than 3,000 guards, standing on the city tower and looking at it, it was mighty.
Carriages of all kinds were lined up in a row, slowly approaching from a distance, like a colorful snake.
Chu Wuxian's eyes were condensed, and he raised his hand to the person behind him: "Go, go down to meet the messenger." β
Qu Xuedong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, touched his small handful of beard and asked in a low voice: "Lord Chu thinks how sincere is Zhou Guo's visit this time?" What kind of attitude will we use to treat them in a while? β
Chu Wuxian went down the steps without squinting, "The person who comes is a guest, whatever attitude the other party has, we will have any attitude, these Lord Qu should know better than me." β
Qu Xuedong sneered: "Since Your Majesty has sent Lord Chu here, I naturally want to ask Lord Chu what he means." β
Chu Wuxian turned his head and stared at him, this glance didn't show much emotion, but Qu Xuedong closed his mouth when he saw it.
Seeing that he was silent, Chu Wuxian turned his head and went down the last step.
Qu Xuedong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, the second prince, knew that he would not stop with him, was this a temptation or did he want to give himself a dismount?
Chu Wuxian didn't know, and he didn't have the heart to guess, Rui Wang's frame had already reached a close place.
He walked forward quickly with the brocade guard, standing in the middle of the road and waiting.
β¦β¦
"Lord Wang, this is Dayan's golden capital, it looks really prosperous, this tall city wall, it looks very tightly defended."
A man with a slight accent lifted the curtain of the car and peeked out.
The man sitting on the main seat didn't raise his head, he poured himself a cup of tea with a teapot, and his movements were elegant and a little careless, "Cui Jing, retract your head, don't be like a king, the person who lost this king." β
Cui Jing's face stiffened when he heard this, and he turned around in a daze, "Lord Wang, can you save a little face for your subordinates when you talk to the people who see Dayan for a while?" The subordinates didn't want to lose face to Dayan. β
King Rui took a sip of the teacup, his eyebrows and eyes were shrouded in a faint white mist, and he couldn't see clearly, "Look at the mood of this king." β
Cui Jing had nothing to say.
"Phewβ" As soon as the guard pulling the reins, the carriage slowly stopped, and the team behind also stopped.
Before Chu Wuxian moved, Qu Xuedong beside him took a step forward first, and said enthusiastically: "Qu Xuedong, the secretary of the Ministry of Lower Rites, is here to wait for King Rui on the orders of His Majesty, and welcome King Rui to my Dayan as a guest." β
The driver turned to the carriage and said something, then rolled over and got out of the carriage and opened the door.
There was also a curtain hung inside, and a tall man with a very childish and delicate face came out first, his scrutinizing gaze swept over Da Yan and the others, and without saying a word, he turned around and lifted the carriage curtain, "Lord Wang, everyone has arrived." β
Chu Wuxian raised his eyebrows, the people of Zhou Guo spoke about the same as Dayan, but with a little uplifted accent, it didn't sound so serious.
I don't know if that King Rui is like this.
Just thinking about it, a corner of the fox fur cloak came into everyone's eyes.
Looking up, the man has a long body, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, quite bright, very noble, and looks like a good match.
At first glance, it looks a little similar to the half of Gongsun Ye's exposed face.
Chu Wuxian arched his hand and said: "The commander of the Jinyi Guard has made Chu Wuxian see His Royal Highness King Rui. β
Rui Wang raised his eyebrows slightly, "Fortunately." β
Qu Xuedong glanced at Chu Wuxian, and said to King Rui: "The prince has been tired all the way, and he has worked hard, the post house has been cleaned up, please come with the officials." β
"There is labor."
King Rui raised his hand, excused them from the courtesy, turned around and returned to the carriage, Qu Xuedong led people in front to lead the way, and couldn't help but come to talk to Chu Wuxian again, "This King Rui doesn't seem to be good at words, what does Lord Chu think?" β
Chu Wuxian's face was expressionless, "It's good to be good at words, it's pure." β
Qu Xuedong: "? β
"Lord Chu's words are quite profound, could it be that he thinks that the lower officials are talking too much?"
Xin Zhi pursed his lips on the side and smiled, people are self-aware, and this adult is not hopeless.
Chu Wuxian was finally willing to give him a straight look, "It's good that Master Qu knows, let's change my noisy problem in the future, so as not to annoy people." β
After speaking, he didn't see Qu Xuedong's face as black as the bottom of a pot in an instant, and he grabbed the horse's belly and left him behind.
"You-" Qu Xuedong's beard was crooked.
He looked left and right to find someone to complain, but as far as his eyes could see, the people who saw him pretended not to see him, and followed Chu Wuxian away.
Qu Xuedong: "......"
This scene was seen by King Rui in the carriage behind, and the corners of his mouth were raised, "Interesting." β
Cui Jing said sourly: "Just now the subordinates looked out, and the prince said that his subordinates were like Wang Ba, and now the prince himself is also probing his brain?" β
King Rui looked at him coldly, "This king is happy, what's the matter, do you think it's too hot in the carriage, and you want to go out to cool down?" β
"The subordinates don't dare."
Cui Jing shrunk into a big lump in the corner aggrievedly.
King Rui couldn't bear to look away.
β¦β¦
After entering the golden capital, the master and servant didn't care about gags, and they all gathered by the window to look out, see the customs of Dayan, and see the prosperity and liveliness of Dayan Capital.
The people passing by all had faint smiles on their faces, and their faces were ruddy, which showed that life was good.
The vendors shouted hard, the oil pot was sizzling, and the fragrance wafted all over the street.
Smelling and smelling, Cui Jing covered his stomach, "Lord Wang, my subordinates are hungry." β
Rui Wang ordered the pastry on the table, "Eat." β
Cui Jing pursed his lips in disgust, "My subordinates want to eat hot dishes and hot meals." β
"Then wait." After King Rui finished speaking, the two fell silent in unison, and after a breath, there was a "grunt" sound, echoing in the spacious carriage.
Ruiwang: "......"
Cui Jing: "! β
He looked at King Rui's tense face in surprise, and couldn't help laughing, "Hahahaha-it turns out that you are also hungry!" You pretended to be serious, but you weren't betrayed by your stomach! β
King Rui was annoyed, grabbed a piece of pastry on the table and stuffed it into Cui Jing's mouth.
β¦β¦
When the carriage arrived at the post house, Cui Jing and King Rui came down one after the other, Chu Wuxie's eyes lit slightly, "Why is this squire's mouth so red?" Is it on fire? β
