Just as Zhang Shou was amazed, he saw that after the young man installed the last tile in his hand on the roof of the house, he jumped directly from the house to the ground.

At this height, the average person would have broken his legs, but when he landed, he seemed to be as light as a feather, and he didn't even stir up a single cent of dust. This made Zhang Shou feel even more surprised, he couldn't imagine that the envoys of the Jingyuan Mission were not only so young, but also had good martial arts.

Shao Xi walked towards this side, and raised his sleeves to wipe the sweat on his face, but the dust on his face was wiped into pieces by him, which looked even more funny.

walked up to Zhang Shou and bowed his hand to Zhang Shou, and before the other party could return the salute, Shao Xi turned around and picked up the kettle next to him and poured water into the spout. Seeing Zhang Shou stunned, he said in his heart Is this still an official of the imperial court? behaves so boldly, it's like a charlatan.

After filling enough water and putting down the kettle, Shao Xi smiled at Zhang Shou and said, "Let Lord Zhang smile, I have been too busy in the past two days, I didn't expect Lord Zhang to visit suddenly, the etiquette is not good, please bear with me." ”

Zhang Shou hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Lord Shao is polite, this is not above the court, you and I don't have to be formal, this official just wants to discuss with Lord Shao a few days ago." ”

"What happened the other day? Was there anything going on the other day? ”

As he spoke, Shao Xi turned his head to look at Tao Qingyun.

Tao Qingyun hurriedly replied, "My lord, are you busy and forgetting?" A few days ago, we detained the head of the Nanzhao reception group, and you also said that this person crossed the border into our Jingyuan country to spy on the military situation, and he must be severely punished! ”

"What? Is the man still there? Haven't chopped off your head yet? What do you do? ”

Tao Qingyun hurriedly bowed his hand, lowered his head, held back a smile, and did not dare to raise his head.

Zhang Shou listened, good guy! It turned out that not only was it seized, but the head of their chief was cut off, and this envoy acted so boldly that he did not care about the consequences!

But after thinking about it, this may be a disadvantage that the other party gave himself, telling himself that they are not so good at talking, and now if they don't apologize sincerely, they don't plan to stop this matter so easily, it seems that this young envoy of Jing Yuanguo is indeed a difficult character.

Before leaving, Zhao Hongjin had instructed that the other party should also condemn the other party's detention of officials and make the other party apologize. But now it seems that things are not so easy, and the other party does not feel that there is anything wrong with him, but he is justified.

"Master Shao, I think there must be some misunderstanding here. As far as I know, our steward Wang was invited by Lord Shao to come to the county guard mansion of Nanshui County, and only said that he had something to talk about, but for some reason he was detained when he got here, should Lord Shao also give us an explanation for this matter? ”

Shao Xi looked at Zhang Shou with a smile and said happily: "Explanation? What's the explanation? To whom was your chief invited? I don't know! I only know that he crossed the border into Jingyuan's country without permission, and you say he came to see me? But I've never seen him! How can you say that you have been invited by me? If I had invited him, how could I have never met him? Lord Zhang is so arbitrary just after listening to the words of his subordinates, I'm afraid it will be unfair, right? ”

When Zhang Shou heard this, he began to scold his mother in his heart, this is obviously a hooligan!

Obviously, you sent someone to call the principal, but now you say that you don't know anything, and you have passed the blame away, but the worst thing is that there is no evidence, but it is a fact that people crossed the border and entered Jingyuan Kingdom.

This is clearly that after knocking out Nan Zhao's teeth, he has to swallow Nan Zhao himself, which is a very scoundrel, but no one can do anything about them.

Zhang Shou suddenly felt that the young man in front of him was deep and cunning, and he was by no means as harmless as he seemed on the surface.

This young man must not be underestimated, on the surface he seems to be a young offspring, but in fact, he is mature and calm in his heart, and his methods are flexible and spicy, and he is not half a point worse than the old fritters in their officialdom, and he may not even be his opponent.

"Lord Shao, it's not right for you to say that. If our officials were not invited by you and others, how could they enter your country without permission? There was already an agreement on this border, and officials from both sides would cross the border to make an appointment when they were invited, but now how could it be that the king crossed the border to spy on Jingyuan's military situation without permission? It is true that the matter of the official rank of the leader of the reception group was arranged by my Nan Zhao and was not well thought out, but if we detain the officials of the DPRK as a threat because of this matter, is it a bit too much? ”

Shao Xi saw that the other party had already begun to talk about the topic, so he deliberately put on a serious appearance and said, "How can this matter be related to the official rank of the team leader of the reception group?" My Jingyuan Empire is a dignified big country in the Central Plains, how can I care about these trivial things with a small border country? Even if you send an unqualified official to receive us, you can't change the fact that Nanzhao is only a small country in a corner of peace, so why do we need to worry about this superficial matter with a small country? This king's affair of crossing the border without permission is a matter involving military intelligence, and this is not a trivial matter! Please also ask Mr. Zhang not to change the topic, turning big things into small things and small things. ”

Zhang Shou was a little speechless by Shao Xi for a while, and said in his heart, why don't you take it for granted? Obviously, it was because of the official rank of the leader of the reception group that he detained people as a threat, but now why is it as if he wants to use this reception group to cover up the affairs of the king and cross the border to spy on the military? Why do you talk and talk as if the more you talk, the more bad it will be for you?

It is also unlucky for Zhang Shou to meet Shao Xi's hob meat, but now this reason can't be explained anyway, it seems that he can only use the method of intercession. Although he was unwilling, Zhang Shou really couldn't find any other way to solve this matter at the moment.

"Lord Shao, since the Holy Lord of your country sent Lord Shao to my Nanzhao as an envoy, I think he must want to establish friendly relations with my Nanzhao State, not to make hostility against each other, so I don't think there is a need to fight for the merits of this matter. In short, it was not enough for me to arrange Nan Zhao Guo before, and some things were indeed not considered, so please don't mind Lord Shao. As for the matter of this king's affairs, it must be a misunderstanding, and I am here to apologize to Lord Shao on behalf of my Holy Lord of Nanzhao, and my Lord Xiangguo of Nanzhao also specially revised a letter to show his sincerity, and asked Lord Shao to look at it. ”

As he spoke, Zhang Shou took out the letter written by Han Zeng to Shao Xi from his arms and handed it to Shao Xi.

Shao Xi took it and looked at it, the letter was written in a long way, in fact, the meaning is very simple, everything before was a misunderstanding, and please don't mind Shao Xi, Nanzhao still welcomes Jing Yuanguo's mission to Nanzhao. This time, Zhang Shou, a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, was specially sent to take charge of the reception, hoping that the matter of this envoy can continue smoothly, create a good environment for border trade for the people of the two countries, and also be a blessing for the people of the two countries......

The central idea is just one, everything that happened before is turned over, the mission continues, and everything that follows is easy to say.

Shao Xi pursed his lips and said to Tao Qingyun on the side: "Isn't this nothing to do for yourself?" Wouldn't there be nothing to do if this had already happened? Now that you have to make the emperor and Xiangguo worry about this kind of thing, isn't it asking for trouble? Master Tao, you have to remember that being an official is to share the worries of the monarch, not to cause trouble for your own emperor, and in the future, you must remember to be rigorous in your work, and don't let the saint worry about you. ”

Tao Qingyun hurriedly bowed down and replied: "Xiaguan remember Master Shao's teachings, and something like this will never happen to Xiaguan." Although I am not wealthy, I am also self-sufficient, and I will never cause any trouble to the saint, and I will never let the saint be distracted by our trivial things. As a courtier, if you can't even do this, won't you be a minister in vain? It's better to resign and return home! ”

Let's just say how much damage does it have to be for these two to sing and harmonize? All the words seemed to be said to each other, but even a fool could tell that it was said to Zhang Shou. Such a conversation has damaged Nanzhao's officials worthless, and they are obviously a bunch of waste, which is more insulting than directly scolding people.

Zhang Shou sat on the side, that uncomfortable!

knew that the other party was mocking himself and mocking the officials of Nanzhao, but there was no evidence.

What does someone's own superior say to his subordinates, if he expresses any dissatisfaction, won't he step on that thunder himself? When the time comes, people say that he is a glass heart, and he has to bear it. This kind of knowing that the other party is scolding himself, but there is no way to prove how uncomfortable the other party is scolding himself?

At this time, Zhang Shou could only comfort himself, after all, it was wrong on his side before, and he didn't blame others for being weird, but now he doesn't have to listen to what people say? Everything is based on the overall situation, don't mess up the tasks assigned by the Holy Lord, it's better than anything else, as long as you can let the mission of Jing Yuanguo smoothly send an envoy to Nanzhao and introduce them into the capital to meet with the Holy Lord, you can be a little wronged if you are wronged!

In fact, what Shao Xi said is right, if the official can't share the worries of the monarch, but only add chaos to his emperor, it is really better to resign and go home.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shou's heart seemed to feel better, so he hurriedly took out the gift he had prepared before and handed it to Shao Xi.

"Lord Shao, this is a small gift I personally prepared, I will give it to Lord Shao to apologize, and I hope that Lord Shao will not dislike it and be able to laugh at it, which can be regarded as giving me a face."

"Oh? I don't know what kind of gift Mr. Zhang gave? ”

Zhang Shou hurriedly opened the box and introduced it to Shao Xi: "This is a specialty of my Nanzhao, it is a deep-sea mussel pearl in the South China Sea. ”

Shao Xi wiped his hands on his clothes, took the huge clam bead in the box in his hand, looked at it carefully, and muttered in his mouth, not knowing whether to say it to Zhang Shou or to himself.

"Big enough! The color is beautiful enough! I wonder how many lives this bead was paid for? Such beads stained with human blood, no matter how beautiful the color is, are blood-red in my eyes, and I don't feel at ease with the things that I have exchanged for human life, and I am afraid that if I fall asleep in the middle of the night, I will hear the cry of a wronged soul. ”

After speaking, Shao Xi raised his hand and threw the priceless bead to Tao Qingyun.

"Your eight characters should be relatively hard, I'll give it to you, you can keep it!"

Zhang Shou: "......"

Tao Qingyun: "......"

Some people died, but not completely......
