Chapter 52 How can you get on board without another order?
Zhou Wen timidly walked in from the platform, looked at Li Leng and Shangguan Yun, and said with a smile: "Master, the head of the lawsuit, how are you!"
"How did you get on the boat?" Shangguan Yun asked in surprise.
Zhou Wen shrugged her shoulders and said, "I'm on the boat generously!"
Shangguan Yun obviously didn't believe Zhou Wen's words.
Li Leng also saw Shangguan Yun's suspicions, smiled, and said lightly: "She is the granddaughter of the prime minister, who dares to stop her?"
"Nonsense! We are envoys, not sightseeing!" Shangguan Yun said slightly angrily, "Go to the next stronghold, you get off the boat for me, and I will have someone send you back to Chang'an City." ”
"No, I'm not going back! I want to be with Master. Zhou Wen said stubbornly.
"Forget it, the head of the lawsuit will arrange a room for her! If she wants to follow, let her follow. Li Leng waved his hand and said lightly.
Zhou Wen was overjoyed, suddenly grabbed Li Leng's arm, and said happily: "Thank you, Master! I know that Master is the best for me!"
"No, she is the prime minister's favorite granddaughter, if something happens, you and I can't afford to take this responsibility. Shangguan Yun was not sure, so he had to return to Chang'an City and let the people from the Prime Minister's Mansion pick up Zhou Wen at the next stronghold, "You prepare immediately, and when you get to the next stronghold, I will have someone teleport you." ”
The giant ship has established a teleportation formation, which can teleport people to a designated location in an instant.
"If it weren't for the Prime Minister's acquiescence, would the soldiers guarding the giant boat let her in?" Li Leng smiled, his bright eyes seemed to see through everything, "The Prime Minister is also well-intentioned! The current Chang'an City is the center of the whirlpool of the imperial situation, and it is much better to let his granddaughter follow us than to rise and fall in the whirlpool." ”
Shangguan Yun didn't really understand the meaning of Li Leng's words, but Li Leng was the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, he was just a deputy envoy, as long as it was not harmful to the interests of the Tang Empire, he had to listen to Li Leng.
"The prime minister loves his granddaughter very much, if something happens to her with us, I see how you explain it to the prime minister. Shangguan Yun was very dissatisfied with Li Leng's decision, but also insisted that Zhou Wen get off the boat and leave.
Li Leng smiled and said lightly: "General Shangguan has invited Shen Hao and Cai Xiang to come over, and I want to discuss with them the relevant details of the envoy to the Han." ”
Shen Hao is a squire in the military department, and Cai Xiang is a Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, both of whom have rich experience in foreign affairs.
Shangguan Yun didn't answer, and walked away.
"He was also too rude to Master. Zhou Wen said angrily, "This Shangguan Yun is simply presumptuous! Master is not only the prince, but also his boss!"
"Okay, if you want to follow me, you have to talk less and complain less. Otherwise, I'll send someone to take you back at once." Li said coldly, and his tone had an authority that could not be questioned and violated.
"Yes, Master, Wen'er remembers. Zhou Wen replied a little scared.
"Let's make tea! They're coming. Li Leng entered the room, walked to the platform and quietly looked at the sunset, feeling surprisingly heavy and uneasy.
"Brew tea, who will make tea?" Zhou Wen was puzzled, but she didn't dare to ask Li Leng, so she obediently moved the tea set and futon in the room to the platform.
As soon as the water was boiling, Zhou Wen heard someone knocking on the door and said, "It's coming." "Hurry to open the door.
There were three people standing outside the door, in addition to Shangguan Yun, there was also a thin man in his thirties, and a short and fat man in his forties.
The thin man is called Shen Hao, the short and fat man is called Cai Xiang, the two of them were slightly surprised to see Zhou Wen, they both knew that Zhou Wen was the most beloved granddaughter of Prime Minister Zhou Wenbo, and the two of them bowed to Zhou Wen at the same time, Shen Hao asked carefully: "Is Your Highness here?"
"Come in!" On the platform, Li Leng heard Shen Hao's voice and said lightly.
Shen Hao and Cai Xiang walked in, and Shangguan Yun turned around and was about to leave.
"General Shangguan is the deputy envoy, is he just leaving?" Li Leng made four cups of tea, three of which were placed in front of the three futons, and the last cup was taken and drunk, and said lightly.
Shangguan Yun snorted coldly, turned around and followed Shen Hao and Cai Xiang into the house, sitting on the first futon on the left.
"Your Highness asked the three of us to come over, I don't know what's the matter?" Shen Hao asked.
"In three days, we will reach the territory of the Great Han. Li Leng looked at the three of them indifferently and said, "Lord Shen and Lord Cai have both sent envoys to the Great Han, and they also have some understanding of the situation of the Great Han. While there is still time, the two adults will tell me about the situation of this big man!"
Shen Hao and Cai Xiang looked at each other, both silent.
"Is there anything wrong with the two adults?" Li Leng didn't seem to see the expressions of the two, smelled the refreshing aroma of tea, and tasted it slightly. Then, he put down the teacup, leaned back on the chair, looked at Shen Hao and Cai Xiang indifferently, and a meaningful smile appeared on his lips.
Both of these people are capable officials, and because of this, they have a very high temperament and will not easily trust and surrender to a person.
The two thought that he was the prince, because his noble status could represent the Tang Dynasty, so he would be named the envoy of the Tang Dynasty by His Majesty. But in fact, what ability and courage he has, neither of them is optimistic, and even, a little contemptuous and dismissive.
Li Leng saw through it and didn't say anything, just looked at the two of them quietly.
The atmosphere was a bit awkward.
In the middle of the sound, Shen Hao coughed a few times, dissolved the embarrassing atmosphere, and said softly: "The Han Dynasty is also divided into the main battle faction and the main peace faction, the main battle faction is headed by the Tai Lieutenant, and the main peace faction is headed by the prime minister. At present, the main battle faction has the upper hand. However, Your Highness don't worry, Lord Cai and I will take care of it and ensure that Your Highness can return to Datang safely. ”
"If the main battle faction has the upper hand, then the possibility of us forming an alliance with the Han is very small. Li Leng said indifferently, "If I can't complete the task, I will be questioned by my father when I go back, and I will be killed by the knight at that time, and I will still be dead." ”
Cai Xiang was straightforward and said: "After all, His Royal Highness is the blood of the royal family, as long as His Highness is willing to lower his posture and beg His Majesty, I believe that His Majesty will take the title of His Highness at most, and will not kill His Highness." ”
"What about the two adults, and what about the Shangguan general?" Li Leng suddenly asked, "I still have a title to cut, and if the three adults can't complete the task, then the career will be over, are you willing?"
Shen Hao and Cai Xiang's faces were very ugly, if it weren't for Li Leng's recommendation in the book, they wouldn't have taken on this drudgery at all, let alone fallen into a dilemma.
Cai Xiang snorted lightly and said, "Will Your Highness still care about me and Lord Shen's careers?"
Li sneered and did not speak.
Shen Hao glared at Cai Xiang and asked him not to talk nonsense, and then, he said to Li Leng with a smile: "Your Highness doesn't need to worry about me and Lord Cai, we are all marginalized people, even if there is no such thing, my career with Lord Cai will not be much achievement." ”
