The shopkeeper of the teahouse looked at the copper pill on the table, was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "This looks like it's just a copper pill, not gold or silver, I don't know what's so special about this thing?" ”

Shao Xi raised his hand and put the copper pill back into his satchel, and said to the shopkeeper a little mysteriously: "This thing is not comparable to gold and silver, the shopkeeper only needs to tell the person who supplied it that this thing is from Zhiqiu Town, Pinggu County, and it is enough for them to be looking for something." ”

When the shopkeeper of the teahouse heard Shao Xi say this, he seemed to understand something, it seemed that the price that Shao Xi paid for this trip to the Ghost Emperor's Mansion was not gold and silver, but something that the Ghost Emperor's Mansion was looking for, and what it was was not what he should know.

So he didn't ask much, but just asked Shao Xi to check the life-seeking card again.

Shao Xi did not refuse, handed the life-seeking card to the shopkeeper, and the teahouse shopkeeper took the life-seeking card in his hand and turned it over and over carefully to check it, and then returned the brand to Shao Xi after confirming that it was correct.

He said politely: "Since Childe has this card in his hand and can tell the origin of this tea, Xiao is naturally willing to help with this, but Childe should also know that it will take some time for this purchase to be purchased."

"Why don't you go back and wait for the news after the tea today, and then come to the small teahouse to taste the tea again a month later, and then introduce a tea friend to the son?"

Shao Xi understood that the other party meant that his identity had basically been confirmed, but it would take some time for the news to be delivered.

A month later, when he came back, he could directly meet with the people of the Ghost Emperor's Mansion and talk about the matter in detail when the time came.

In addition, the shopkeeper of the teahouse is also reminding Shao Xi that we can help you run with your legs, and we can also help you deliver the news, but you are here to talk to us about business, and this favor cannot be in vain.

Shao Xi has been running outside for so long, and he may not know much else, but he knows very well that there is no free lunch in this world.

All things that are said to be helpful should be better given to the other party, because no one is obliged to help in vain.

So he took out a silver ticket from his bosom and put it on the table, got up and said: "The shopkeeper is willing to help, I am really grateful, then a month later, I will go to your teahouse to taste tea with the tea friend introduced by the shopkeeper, if this business is negotiated, there is another thank you!" ”

The shopkeeper of the teahouse was not polite, he reached out and picked up the silver ticket on the table, opened it and took a look, there was a hundred gold, which was a thousand taels of silver!

As a person who only delivered news in the middle, the shopkeeper saw that Shao Xi was so generous, and he also knew that what Shao Xi was going to talk about with the Ghost Emperor Mansion this time must be a big deal.

So after putting the silver ticket in his arms, he hurriedly bowed to Shao Xi and said, "Childe only needs to go back and wait for the news, and this matter will be handed over to the little one to do, and Childe will come again in a month." ”

After speaking, the shopkeeper of the teahouse poured another cup of tea for Shao Xi, and this cup of tea had the meaning of sending it away.

Shao Xi didn't say any more nonsense, arched his hand at the shopkeeper, turned around and left the back hall, and the shopkeeper of the teahouse followed all the way.

After coming out, Shao Xi glanced at the few guests drinking tea in the lobby.

The business of this teahouse is really a little deserted, and there are only three people drinking tea in the lobby, I wonder if there is a secret agent sent by Long Qitai among them?

After leaving the teahouse, Shao Xi didn't go anywhere else, but returned directly to the Frost Snow Building.

I hadn't seen Fu Biao since I came out of my home before, so I must have left Daliang City with Long Qitai early in the morning to go to Fengyang County.

It will take more than a month to go to the least, I hope they won't make any mistakes along the way, after all, Li Rui is his own bargaining chip to control Yu Ji.

I have been running around since I returned to Kyoto for a few days, and I have finally dealt with the current things, and tomorrow is the Double Ninth Festival in early September, which is the day when I agreed with Tang Ming to make a deal with the seven sons of the Tang Sect in Mochizuki Tower.

I don't know what they will exchange for the Nine-Eyed Heavenly Stone with themselves?

Shao Xi thought like this all the way, and as soon as he returned to the Frost Snow Building, he saw Liu Fu run out before he got off the horse.

"Childe, Childe! Just now, the Ministry of Rites and the palace have sent people to send news, saying that the mission to Nanzhao has returned to Daliang, and the prince is invited to enter the palace and explain the affairs of the envoy to Nanzhao together with the Ministry of Rites.

"But when the messenger came, the son happened to be absent, so he left a message asking the son to enter the palace as soon as he returned, so as not to delay."

Shao Xi's heart was tired for a while, since he returned to Daliang City, he has not stopped these days, running around every day.

Finally, I only ran to the Xinjing Teahouse today, and I have to go to the Moon Tower tomorrow, but I have to enter the palace again before my foot hits the ground.

Two or three trips into the palace in four or five days, maybe the entire Daliang City itself is the busiest person.

But when it comes to business, the palace sent someone to deliver the news, looking at Liu Fu's appearance, it seems that he is quite anxious, but it is indeed impossible to delay.

So Shao Xi didn't even get off the horse, turned his head and went directly in the direction of the palace.

still left the horses at Yintaimen, and followed the eunuch who led the way all the way to Xiao Changyi's imperial study again.

As soon as I entered the imperial study, I saw that Xu Maocheng was also in the Zuo Shilang of Shangshu Province.

After Shao Xi stepped forward to greet Xiao Changyi, Xu Maocheng also greeted Shao Xi.

Xiao Changyi opened his mouth and said to Shao Xi: "Shao Aiqing returned to Kyoto alone, and now the mission has also rushed back.

"You haven't mentioned it to me before, you also prepared a heavy gift for this mission, and it seems that the Emperor of Nanzhao seems to be more fond of the gifts you have prepared, Shao Aiqing really has a heart.

"I am very relieved that this mission can be successfully achieved! The two of you worked together so well that you did what I had entrusted you with, and you deserve a reward! ”

In fact, Shao Xi, who is rewarded or not, feels that it doesn't matter, anyway, he doesn't lack anything, but since Xiao Changyi has said that he wants to reward, then reward!

Xiao Changyi saw that Shao Xi didn't take a stubble, and said in his heart that this kid was at ease when he was rewarded, but it was not like Xu Maocheng who was sincerely afraid when he heard that he was going to be rewarded, and he had already knelt on the ground to thank him before he was rewarded.

He was calm, it seemed that if his reward was not put in place, this kid was afraid that he wouldn't even be thankful, wouldn't he be very faceless as an emperor in front of Xu Maocheng?

So after coughing twice, he said again: "This time, Shao Aiqing, as an envoy of the envoy, went to the Southern Zhao State to promote the alliance between our dynasty and the Southern Zhao State, Shao Aiqing was conscientious and fulfilled the tasks assigned by me, and also won the praise of the Southern Zhao Emperor and the Manchu Dynasty.

"Shao Aiqing's contribution this time is not small, since Shao Aiqing is originally a person from Yingzhou, I will now give Shao Aiqing the founding of Yingxian County, 700 households, if the descendants have no major mistakes, they can be hereditary and inherit the title from generation to generation! In the future, if you make another miraculous achievement, you will be knighted separately. ”

Shao Xi couldn't help but be happy when he heard it, he didn't expect that Xiao Changyi, the emperor's old boy, was quite generous, and he directly gave himself a knighthood.

Although this is just an honorary title with little real power, it means that he has entered the elite class.

You must know that in this court, no matter how many officials you are, having a title and not having a title look completely different in the eyes of others.

The official position is only to get a salary, to put it bluntly, it is to work to get a salary and receive a salary, but this title is different, this is like a shareholder of the company, regardless of the size of the shares, anyway, there are always dividends at the end of the year.

The title of the earl of this county is 700 households, which means that he can levy 700 taxes in Yingxian County to support himself, which is incomparable with the salary of ordinary officials.

Regardless of the amount of money, this qualification is not something that ordinary officials can have.

It seems that when he didn't come just now, this Xu Maocheng said a lot of good things for himself in front of Xiao Changyi, and I don't know how Xiao Changyi rewarded Xu Maocheng?

Shao Xi hurriedly knelt down to thank him.

"Wechen thanks the saint for the knighthood, what wechen do is what we should do as a courtier, the saint is virtuous, reward wechen, is the glory of wechen! The Holy Longen Weichen remembered it in his heart, and he would never dare to forget it, and he would definitely do his best in the future, and he would share his worries for the Holy One! ”

Xiao Changyi was very happy when he said a beautiful word, raised his hand to beckon Shao Xi to calm down, and asked Shao Xi again: "In addition to the title given to you, do you have anything else you want?" It's better to say it together, as long as you don't go too far, I promise you. ”

Shao Xi lowered his head and thought about it, when he came to see Xiao Changyi before, he told himself that the matter of Qingshan County had been investigated and handled, and he was just waiting for himself to deal with it.

After finishing the matter, he had the idea of going to the Western Regions by the way, and he promised to find Guan Yucheng's remains for Cheng Baiqiu, but if it dragged on for too long, it was really unreasonable.

Anyway, I now have the treasure map of the Wuhai Kingdom in my hand, so it's better to try my luck by the way, maybe there will be some unexpected gains.

However, this trip to the Western Regions is far away, if you run this trip, it is estimated that the time required is not short, and now that I am an official in the court, and I have been knighted, it is not so convenient to go anywhere.

It seems that it is necessary to ask Xiao Changyi for a long vacation, this old boy should not assign himself any difficult tasks to complete.

Thinking of this, Shao Xi hurriedly bowed down and said to Xiao Changyi: "Weichen has a small request, and I hope that the Holy Lord can grant it." ”

Xiao Changyi originally asked Shao Xi what else he wanted, but he was just casually polite, but he didn't expect this kid to really kick his nose in the face, and he was cheeky and really wanted to make a request to himself, and he felt a little awkward in his heart.

However, as an emperor, how could Chrysostom swallow back what he said?

So he asked Shao Xi: "Shao Aiqing might as well say what she wants, since I promised you, as long as you don't go too far, I will allow you." ”

"Wechen wants to ask the saint for a long vacation, before the saint told Wechen that the matter of Qingshan County will be handled by Wechen personally, and after this matter is done, Wechen wants to go to the Western Regions to do some private things for his friends, but this trip may take a long time, so Wechen wants to ask the saint for permission."

Xiao Changyi was stunned when he heard this, he originally thought that Shao Xi would make some excessive requests, but he just wanted to take a leave.

"I see, I'm right!"
