Chapter 141: Envoys
Although the current Ba Niu is not disheartened, he is still somewhat negative in his thoughts. He deliberately dressed himself as a peasant and lived the most ordinary life. But there is still a sense of injustice in his heart. So he refused all the people who visited, even those sent by Li Yuming, he ignored them. This made Liu Yiyi feel very worried, so after a party, he deliberately asked the maids to help him into his room, and then closed the door.
"Father's envoy has been waiting in Qiu Zhenhai's side hall for three days, do you know"? Although Liu Yiyi was still smiling as usual, her tone of voice was extremely harsh. If it is an ordinary Ba Niu, he will naturally be able to observe words and feelings, and then seek good fortune and avoid evil, but now, under the influence of alcohol, he has transcended the boundaries of ordinary people and is self-righteous at another level, so after hearing Liu Yiyi's question, he also wanted to be strong once, so he said loudly: "Three days is three days, what about three months?" Now Lao Tzu is a foreigner, either let me live my own life, or no one should live a good life"!
Of course, Liu Yiyi knew that he was drunk, and she was somewhat afraid of drunk people, but she still maintained her previous majesty and said coldly: "Now you are a great person?" Do you still know that you have parents and a family"?
Ba Niu raised his head high and said with great contempt: "He does not regard me as a son, why do I regard him as a father"? As soon as he said this, Liu Yiyi's slap slapped him in the face. Just hearing the sound of "pop", the left side of Ba Niu's face immediately swollen, and just as he wanted to speak again, he immediately received a slap on the right cheek. Of course, he was very unconvinced, but he didn't dare to say a word more, so he could only stare at her fiercely.
"You're still not convinced"?
He was not convinced, but in front of Liu Yiyi, he had no objection to any reason. If you are not convinced, you have to be convinced. Therefore, after Liu Yiyi asked this sentence one by one, he immediately lowered his head, like a defeated wolf, obediently sitting on the hill and repenting of his mistakes.
"You naturally understand the truth", Liu Yiyi still looked at him coldly, and then said: "If you still have a little bit of humanity, you should go to your father's envoy right now, and then show him your heart!"
Ba Niu drooped his head, stood up without saying a word, and walked out to the door. Liu Yiyi still didn't move, but stopped him: "After the matter is over, you should come to me, I still want to see you again."
The words were gentle, but the meaning was well known to Ba Niu, and she had to wait for his reply. From any point of view, it is impossible for Ba Niu to be afraid of Liu Yiyi, this is absolutely impossible, he is afraid of her, just because she is right, she will always be right. When a person is in the right direction, it is inevitable that he will be three points shorter.
He really came to see Li Yuming's envoy in person, which caught the visitor a little off guard.
"My subordinates have seen Lord Taiwei"!
Ba Niu waved his hand, asked him to sit down next to him, and then asked, "Is the emperor's body healthy?"
"The emperor is in good health"!
"Is the queen in good health"?
Although the envoy felt that his question was a bit deliberate, he did not dare not answer, so he had to say: "The Queen Mother is still in good health."
Ba Niu was silent for a while, and then said: "The emperor asked you to come here, do you have something to convey, or just to see how I am doing?"
But all the envoys are extremely shrewd people, and when he heard Ba Niu's question, he immediately understood the complaint in his heart, so he knelt down and said: "The emperor asked the servants to come here, one is to ask Lord Taiwei for peace, and on the other hand, he also wants to ask Lord Taiwei for some information."
But what a wise man is Ba Niu? Although he has never cared about politics, the changes in the world have long been formed in his heart, and he has already made a judgment on the question he wants to ask, but he still has to pretend not to understand, showing a surprised expression, and said: "There are many talents in the court, and all problems can be easily solved, what else needs to be asked of an idle person like me?" Could it be that His Majesty the Emperor accidentally moved his heart of compassion and wanted to test whether I, an exile, still have my own thoughts?"
This kind of extremely harsh sarcasm sounds extremely harsh to anyone, but the envoy is an envoy after all, and his task is only to convey some information that needs to be transmitted, so he can only bury his head lower and his voice softer: "His Majesty the Emperor and Lord Taiwei are biological flesh and blood, and there is no barrier between monarchs and ministers. This time, His Majesty the Emperor sent a servant to consult Lord Taiwei on a few things."
At this point, he paused deliberately. At this time, if Ba Niu is unwilling to speak, he can either let Ba Niu choose to refuse, or let him continue. In either case, he doesn't take any responsibility and makes each other feel comfortable.
Ba Niu wanted to brush his sleeves away, but when he thought of Liu Yiyi, he couldn't help but sigh, and then said: "It's not a big deal, it's not important, since it's His Majesty's question, you just ask!"
When the envoy heard this, he was secretly happy in his heart, straightened his clothes, and said: "Your Majesty's first question: Now that the heroes are competing for deer, the Akiyama Peninsula is far overseas, will it be affected?"
"They can't solve their own problems themselves, so where can anyone solve problems outside of themselves?" Although these people regard themselves as a force on one side, in terms of strength, they are just bandits, and they can still have a place in troubled times, and once someone wants to unify the world, they are ants under the flood, which is not worth mentioning."
After the envoy silently wrote it down, he continued to ask: "Your Majesty's second question: Lu Xinghe occupied Longshi Fort and the four towns, Chu Xiong occupied Dadu, the two of them, who will take the world in the end, and who will become the last enemy of the Qiushan Peninsula."
Ba Niu put his hands behind his back, looked at the distant coastline, and said slowly: "No, none of them will unify the world, and no one will become the last enemy of the Akiyama Peninsula." Without waiting for the envoys to have room to think, he continued: "The only one who can truly unify the world and threaten other forces is the Akiyama Peninsula. - Now I can call it Dondor. You can go back and reply to Your Majesty, if I don't die, this is the absolute truth".
The envoy's face immediately turned pale, of course he couldn't report this sentence to Li Yuming, and he didn't dare to report it truthfully.
"Your Majesty's third question: Is the future of the Akiyama Peninsula worth worrying about, and is there a possibility that we will be swallowed up by other forces?"
Although this question is slightly similar to the second question, the meaning is not the same, the second question mainly asks about the development of the two forces of Lu Xinghe and Chu Xiong, but this question asks all the forces that may pose a threat to the Autumn Mountain Peninsula.
Ba Niu smiled contemptuously: "Who else but me can be dangerous to the Akiyama Peninsula?" Speaking of this, he laughed extremely negatively: "But you can reassure Your Majesty that I am now just a small farmer who is content with the status quo, with my own vegetable garden, my own land, and my own orchard, and there is no extravagant hope for anything." Sanxian Island is now my home and my grave, you just have to tell him when you go back: his world is his world, my home is my home. No matter how good his world is, I still like my current home."
The envoy's face was already in a cold sweat, and in his heart, he had already screened these words, which words could be said and which could not be said, which had been sorted out by him in an orderly manner. However, in the face of Ba Niu, he still seemed extremely uneasy, and after asking what Li Yuming wanted to ask, he continued to ask tremblingly: "The minion's mission has ended, I don't know what else Lord Taiwei has to order"?
Ba Niu thought for a while, smiled miserably, and asked, "Since you are from the palace, do you know what the situation of the imperial grandson is?"
His question is really redundant, and it is impossible for this envoy to know, even if he knows, he does not dare to say it easily, even if it is to Ba Niu, he does not dare to say it.
"The slave is just a foreign minister, and he doesn't know about the things in the palace. However, the servant heard that His Majesty had invited an extremely virtuous nurse, and the Queen Mother often went to see him in person, so I thought there should be nothing wrong with him."
This undoubtedly told him a lot of things, he was a smart man, so he naturally understood it at all, so he smiled heartily: "There is a minister, go back and wait for me to say goodbye to my mother, and say that I will go back in person when I am free."
The envoy agreed and retreated, and Ba Niu's face also showed a rare smile.
