Chapter 339: Entrusting Palai
Palay was sighing in his heart, when he suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside, and then the doorman came in and shouted.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there is a large group of Praetorian guards rushing towards our office."
It is really a place where birds don't among young women, and the doorman here has never seen any big battles, and now he suddenly saw so many forbidden army guards coming, he was so panicked that he hurriedly ran in, for fear that an adult would make a mistake and affect their department.
Praetorian guards? This is not the person of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?
Some colleagues immediately showed joy on their faces, hurriedly began to tidy up their clothes, and said excitedly.
"Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has chosen someone here to send an envoy to the Otsuki Clan?"
Everyone was shocked, although this possibility is really small, but it is the first time it has happened, is one in ten thousand true?
Everyone inevitably had hope, and immediately began to tidy up their clothes one by one, and some saw that the table was very messy, and began to tidy up the table in a panic.
Among them, I am afraid that only Palai is the most calm, he can't help but look out, calm on the surface, but in fact he is also panicked in his heart.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not tell him that he wanted him to go out in person, but if he changed to someone else, and put so much silk on the car, it might not be discovered that there was an abnormality, and it was safest to let him, the person in the know, go.
After a while, the guards of the forbidden army had arrived, but the leader was Jiangshan.
Jiang Shan frowned and looked at the row of officials standing in front of him, all with flattering looks on their faces.
"Where is Palai?"
The smiles on the faces of these colleagues froze, and they turned to look at the quietest man in the corner, and they watched Jiang Shan walk over, and then came out with a few marching guards carrying trays, with official uniforms and tokens in the trays, as well as a letter from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has an order, Feng Baolai is the envoy to the Otsuki clan, the specific matters have been written in the letter, after you read the letter, change your clothes, and go with me to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to thank you."
Palai nodded, and Jiang Shan retreated outside the courtyard with the others, and as soon as the marching guards walked away, those colleagues immediately surrounded them.
Some people said congratulations on their faces, but they were extremely jealous in their hearts, some people secretly probed the relationship between Palai and His Royal Highness the Prince, and some people even said cool things on the side, feeling that this trip was full of crises and was not a good errand at all.
As usual, he didn't say anything about this face, and he didn't say anything, he wanted to go behind the screen to change his clothes, but these colleagues insisted on following him, so he had no choice but to change his robe under the gaze of everyone, salute, and push open the door and leave.
Jiang Shan was waiting for him outside the door, and when he saw this, he smiled slightly.
"Lord Palai is really magnificent when he changes into the clothes of this envoy, and when you come back from this trip, you should not come back here."
So he doesn't have to be taboo about what these colleagues think, anyway, everyone's identities will be different in the future, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to have the opportunity to meet again.
Palai sighed, what he cared about was never a high-ranking official, he just wanted to be a good official who could benefit the people, and at the moment, the most important thing was to open a trade route with the Western Regions.
Palai came to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and bowed down.
"See His Royal Highness the Prince."
Li Yunxing smiled, walked down in person, and helped him up.
"Do you feel like it's a bit sudden? Do you blame me for not telling you about it yesterday? ”
Palay was immediately alarmed.
"The minister knows that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must have his own considerations when acting, so naturally he doesn't dare to blame His Royal Highness the Prince."
Li Yunxing waved his hand, and Jiang Shan retreated with the others in the house.
"I didn't tell you before, it's because I see that you haven't slept well for several days, if I told you about it in advance, you're afraid that you have to think about it carefully, this road is very thrilling, last night may be your last good sleep in the near future, I can't bear to disturb."
When he heard this, he was moved in his heart, firstly, for the thoughtfulness of His Royal Highness the Prince, and secondly, he did not expect the Crown Prince to know him so well, and indeed so, if he had known last night that he was going to send an envoy to the Otsutsuki clan, according to his cautious character, he would have to carefully inspect the convoy and silk again, and I am afraid that he would waste another whole night's time.
It's just that he doesn't know anything, and now he is suddenly assigned a task to accompany him, and he is not at ease.
"I didn't expect things to be so urgent, I always have to check everything and try to be as safe as possible."
Li Yunxing shook his head and patted him on the shoulder.
"Your character is cautious, which is very good, but you have to believe in yourself, you have been preparing for so long in advance, you can already be foolproof, this time the escort of you is all my cronies, even if you encounter danger on the way, they will protect yourself even if they try their best."
Palay naturally believed in His Royal Highness the Prince's plan, and if the people escorting the team were the southeast camp and the northwest camp, they would naturally be the most trusted people by His Royal Highness the Prince.
"Thank you for Your Highness's trust, I will definitely live up to my trust and send three thousand pieces of silk to the Otsuki clan in their entirety."
Li Yunxing returned to his seat, paused, and said suddenly.
"I know, you are more concerned about those silks than the things in the court, but this time you have to zoom in on a little bit, you are an envoy on behalf of the Wu Dynasty, and the task on the surface is to take the princess back, you must do a good job, but you can't be limited to these two points, you also have to take a good look at the road you have walked, and whether this road is smooth or not in the future depends on how well you complete this time."
Palai's heart trembled, and he suddenly felt the arduousness of this task, but he nodded firmly, he couldn't just look at the ants trapped in the water, but also look at the thousands of people in the Wu Dynasty, he had to be worthy of his identity as an official of the Wu Dynasty.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister understands that he will not be dishonored."
Li Yunxing nodded with satisfaction, he thought that Palai was full of only the people of Qingzhou to persuade him, and he needed some tongues, but he didn't expect things to go so smoothly.
He beckoned the man to him and handed him a few letters.
"After you arrive at the Great Moon Clan, help me deliver a few letters, this one to Zuwei, this one to Zulia, and one to the famous head of the famous family."
Palay put the letter away and put it in his bosom properly, and then thanked him.
Looking at the back of Palai's departure, Jiang Shan couldn't help but come forward and ask.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows that this person is too stubborn, he only has the people of Qingzhou in his mind, and he doesn't know how to be flexible, why would he give him such an important task?"
Li Yunxing smiled slightly.
"There's nothing wrong with being stubborn, this trip is a long way, it's all about going to the end in one breath, he doesn't need to be flexible, just complete the task."
