The doormen went out of the room and entered the table, and the tsukasa led the rulers to accompany each other, gossiping with each other, mainly knowing each other. Some of them have dealt with each other in the past, but most of them are meeting for the first time. Su Jia said "unaccompanied", returned to the hall, locked himself in the house, and handed over everything under the court to Tsukazai to take care of.

The question of guards, Su Jia didn't think about it, but he never dared to think that there would be Xinling Jun's doorman to accompany him - what level is that? As the first prince of the Great Wei Dynasty, Xinling Jun can only be a guest and treat each other politely: not because of identity, but because of ability! Whether it is the establishment of the country and the country, or the rooster and the dog thief, these people are experts; It's not that you have never done anything to slaughter the city without saying a word! Using them as guards, I really don't have the courage to do so. However, this is just that they don't provoke themselves, what should they do if they find the door by themselves, Su Jia really hasn't thought about it. "What's more......" The uneasiness that Su Jia had finally suppressed resurfaced. If he went out of the city with Xinling Jun's disciples, how would Wei Qi pass this pass? The doorman told him that he said that he had spent money to hire a young man in the market, but Xinlingjun's doorman was dignified, even if he wore short brown, where could he be compared to the little people who were servant in the market, and at a glance he knew that he was a respected and well-fed person, how could he hide it from people like Wei Qi. It's okay if you don't have that conversation with Wei Qi, but now you know that Xinlingjun is jealous of King Wei, and you still want to use his disciples, which is equivalent to clearly standing on the side of Xinlingjun and turning against King Wei. At that time, Xin Lingjun may not be able to do anything, he must be crushed, and he is afraid that it will be impossible to keep his family.

The more Xu Jia thought about it, the more scared he became, sweating all over, but he didn't dare to refuse directly - that would be tantamount to turning his face with Xinlingjun, which was also something that Su Jia didn't dare to do. As the royal merchant of the King of Wei, Xu Jia has a clear understanding of his status: that is, a dog of the Wang family, even the most dilapidated son, is also his own master, and must not be offended; Shin Ling-kun? It's too late to tie the knot! He also thought about the fact that Xinling Jun and King Wei turned their faces, but he felt that he could not offend both: can the dog participate in the affairs of the master's family? But he shouldn't, he ran to Wei Qi by himself, and waited for Wei Qi to say that. - Wouldn't it be nice if you had a business-like attitude? But Wei Qi is his own supervisor, and before going out to do something, it is indispensable to go to the supervisor to ask for instructions! In the end, no one was fine, so they were roasted on the fire.

The cause and effect, the past and the future, come and go in my mind several times, and I don't have an idea. Suddenly, I heard someone in the hall report: "Everyone waits for each other, thank you!" ”

Suja was shocked, you are gone, what should I do? blurted out: "Stay for a while, I have words." ”

Everyone didn't know why, they all said "woo" and stood at the bottom of the stairs. Su Jia also crossed his heart, walked out of the house, crossed his hands in front of the steps, shook down the steps, and then walked down quickly, and waved again to the Xinling Junmen in the west. Everyone hurriedly returned the salute.

Su Jia said to the guests: "The prince of Xinling ordered the public to wait for the guards, and he didn't dare to accept what he was given. After saying goodbye to the temple, Xiangguo asked, what is right about the minister? If you tell the truth, the prime minister will be guilty; If you speak falsely, it will be difficult for the people to fill their mouths, and how can they be satisfied? May the public have mercy on him. ”

The doorman at the head said: "What the adults say, I don't dare to speak." ”

Su Jia said: "All the people in front of this step are all going to the messenger every day, but it is okay to say. ”

The doorman at the head said: "Our lord went to the camp, followed the guards and took a hundred rides, each with three days of grain, and had no equipment in his hands; Hundreds of leather cars, all stay in the garden. The owner went to the camp on his bicycle and had nothing to lose. There is no piece of armor to cover the body, and there is no grain and rice to satisfy hunger. The ministers have received great grace from the king, and they are willing to repay them with death! However, the war is urgent, and although the ministers have aspirations, they cannot get it. Fortunately, the doctor is out of the city, so I wish to go to the camp and die with our lord without regrets! ”

Su Jia said: "What is the order of the old man? ”

The first guest said: "The old man of the family is not ordered, and the ministers and others dare not obey the camp." May the doctor grant it! He took his head, and all six of them fell on their faces. The host's Zaifu was also a little moved, looking at Sujia. Su Jia hurriedly returned the salute and said, "I don't dare to resign." On the day of resignation, Wei Xiang will come, and even the King of Wei, how can he resign? ”

The doorman said: "The words are not cheap and other dare to know, and the doctor can do it himself." After the resignation, when we go out of the city, we will be able to do so. ”

Su Jia said: "The Taoist worship temple must be outside the gate of the beam." The girder gate is facing the west gate, and it will be out of the city after the bow is finished, and it is difficult to maneuver. ”

The doorman said: "If the doctor agrees, the rest can be discussed." When I return secretly, I will agree with the elders and the rest of the family that I will not embarrass the doctor! ”

Su Jia said secretly: How can you not be embarrassed? Wei Qi personally said that the king of Wei wanted to destroy Xinlingjun, and any action to assist Xinlingjun at this time would be considered betrayal. But this reason obviously cannot be exported. And other than that, Suja didn't come up with any other reason to stop it. was forced to this part, and could only take one step at a time. Send them away first, and then reject their proposals one by one. After only a moment of silence, Su Jia said: "Even so, I don't dare to say more. But when the envoys go out of the city, the etiquette is there, and they must not be violated. But the slightest rudeness will disgrace the mission. ”

The doorman at the head said: "It's a matter of family and country, and I don't dare to make the doctor lose his honor." ”

It was then agreed that since these visitors had visited Sufu, they would be conspicuous if they left; Su Jia ordered to clean the wing room for a while, but the doormen refused, saying that since it was short brown, it could not live in the wing of the main house, that is, it was placed under the stable by the mound slaughter. The settlement was established, and the head of the door quietly left through the back door, just like a family member.

Su Jia waited all night, but did not see the doorman return, and secretly rejoiced in his heart, thinking that the discussion must be fruitless, and the action was canceled by itself, so that he would be relieved.

The next day, everyone got up early, freshened up, and went to the court. The five Xinling monarchs strictly guarded their short brown identities and only prepared carriages under the stables. Since it was a wartime request for help, it was natural that we could not prepare rich gifts as we did in peacetime, but we still had to have three or five cars. All kinds of miscellaneous stables and shafts, about ten people, with five, are not conspicuous, not to mention that these five people are diligent in their hands and feet, and they are also quick to live. They put on their horses the chariots that had been loaded with gifts, and prepared three leather chariots for the messengers. Drive out the set of carriages of all colors through the side door, and wait by the side of the road. The leader lit two torches to light them.

It was dark and the door opened. Suja and the messenger who accompanied him walked out of the door in good clothes. The stableman took the leather cart, nine people and three passengers, and jumped up. The rest of the men were also sitting on the side of the carts, and there were about four or five people in each cart. The rest of the people who saw off the pedestrians gave up their hands, the leather cart was in front, the chariot was behind, and they went straight to the girder gate. As the convoy got closer and closer to the Daliang Gate, Xu Jia gradually relieved himself: Xinlingjun's doormen had not appeared yet, and they should not come again.

Although the Su family is a franchisee of the royal family, after all, he is only a merchant, not a nobleman, and his mansion is in the Beicheng business district, which is a long way from the royal city - much closer to the royal warehouse in the north. Outside the Daliang Gate is the square where the Wei Dynasty held the ceremony, close to the southern city; In addition, there was nothing to do in Daliang City, so the carriage had to move slowly, and it took a long time to walk through the streets and alleys, and when I came to the gate of Daliang, it was already dawn.

Although it was a superfluous move, the Su family still carried down the gifts on the car in accordance with the rules, put them on the leather carpet that had been prepared in front of the door, and covered them with a curtain. Then Su Jia Yili went to the door, presented the festival symbol, and called his name: "The minister's doctor Su Jia, who was ordered by the king to make Han, is now ready, and he does not dare to be self-dedicated, and dares to ask the king to set off." ”

The doorman took the stanza and entered the gatehouse, where Wei Qi was already waiting. took the festival talisman, changed his smiling face and came out, crossed his hands on his chest, and said: "Doctor hard work, Doctor Wanglao!" ”

Su Jia Yiyi returned the salute, please Wang An, please Xiang Guoan. Lead Wei Qi to the gift stall, present the gift list, and then guide him with his hands, count one by one, and Wei Qi checks the gift list one by one. After the check, Wei Qi praised the kindness, and Xu Jia instructed his family to put the gifts back in the car. It took a lot of work back and forth. After the five chariots were properly covered with curtains, Wei Qi arched his hand and said, "Let me face the king." Suja returned the salute. Wei Qi entered the door, returned to the porter and sat down, tied the gift list with ox braiding, dissolved a piece of cement, and sealed the knot. asked someone to warm a bowl of wine and sip it slowly; When the bowl of wine is drunk, the cement is about dry and hard. Holding it in his hand, he saw that he had already brought out the wine left and right, so he went out together, and said, "Under the king's order, the doctor will set off." Excuse me! "Warm wine was served to the left and right, half of Sujia was sprinkled on the ground, and half was drunk by himself. The crowd behind him chanted: "Peace in and out!" ”

Wei Qi drank again: "Worship the temple!" ”

Su Jia bowed deeply to the north three times, and said in his mouth: "Unworthy descendant Jia, carrying the king's order, far away from the homeland, the ancestors know it, and the ancestors are you!" ”

Wei Qi said: "Since he bears the king's order, the king prays for it!" ”

Su Jia bowed again, took the sealed gift slip from Wei Qi's hand, and bowed again. The butcher and his family turned around and drove along. Su Jia stayed at the end to salute Wei Qi, and waited until Wei Qi entered the door before turning around and quickly catching up with the convoy. I thought to myself: Xinling Jun's guest should not come again. But there is still a little uneasiness in my heart, a little expectation, as if I hope that those powerful doormen can make trouble in nothing and follow them out of the city; And he can not deteriorate the relationship with Wei Qi and King Wei, but also get closer to Xinlingjun.

After some tossing, it was already dawn. Although it was a wartime street clearing, when the day dawned, people always had to come out, after all, life had to go on, not to mention that there was no war outside Daliang City. The beggars also increased, and each of them had a dog-beating stick, half a man long, and the part of his near hand was polished. Seeing that there was an envoy to worship the temple in front of the gate of the beam, he actually surrounded him. Naturally, the guards could not let them get closer, and blasted them all away from the girder gate, which was close to the city gate.
