Chapter Ninety-Three

"Then what is good at this time?" asked Liu Cong, tilting his head.

Fan Shijin put the envelope away, put it on his waist, and said, "Go up to the difficulty." ”

The snow outside the window is more violent, and the sound of whirring wind can already be heard, at this time sitting in the lobby to eat can only close the doors and windows, if the window is opened, the cold wind outside will pour in, and the inside and outside of the house will not be a temperature for a while.

"Did Duke Qu say when he would go to his house?" asked Uncle Wei.

Fan Shijin opened the envelope again and looked at it, the letter read: It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, just today!

"Get up, go to the Prime Minister's Mansion!" Fan Shijin slapped the table and stood up.

The slap was like a command, and with a slap, several people stood up in unison.

When I opened the door of the inn, the north wind kept coming into the store, as if the wind was afraid of the cold, and wanted to hide in the store to avoid the cold. A few people went out of the waiting hall door against the cold wind, and the little two in the store saw that after a few people went out, he pushed the door hard.

The scene in front of me is a scene covered in silver, covered with heavy snow everywhere, a white expanse, white to the eyes, as if stepping into the world of white paper, but there is no snow on the main road, although I didn't see a few people, the snow on the main road should be trampled by the crowd of people, compared to the snow on the side of the road, this main road seems to be opened up in the heavy snow.

"Wow! This is like being in another world! There is a white expanse everywhere!" Liu Cong has never seen such a world in Shudi.

Fan Shijin pulled his clothes and said, "Thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow!"

Although it is a good scenery, but the wind blows on the face like a knife, and several people's hair is relatively long, and it can cover the ears when put down, but this face is blown by the wind and cold.

Uncle Wei put his hand on his face, looked around, and said, "Brother Fan, let's find a carriage." ”

"Yes, but how many miles is there, is there a carriage?" Fan Shijin said rubbing his hands.

"There should be this, a man can wear clothes, and so can a horse. Liu cong from his opponent snorted hotly.

"Hahaha!" everyone was amused by Liu Cong's words.

A few people were just about to explain something to this Liu Cong, when a person ran out of the small restaurant opposite, this person's whole body was shrunk, and his hands were hidden in his cuffs. ran to a few people and said, "How many of them are envoys from Shu, right?"

"Exactly, Your Excellency?" Fan Shijin looked at this person with a slight puzzlement.

The man who was hunched over took out an envelope from his cuff, which was consistent with Fan Shijin's envelope, and said after displaying the envelope: "I have already prepared the carriage, just wait for a few people to come out of this waiting hall." ”

Although this person did not say his identity, but the envelope in his hand can prove that he is a person from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he should be cold and don't want to open more, for fear that this opening will be like a mouthful of ice slag.

Fan Shijin and the others didn't think much about it, and followed this person away, and saw a carriage coming out from behind the small restaurant. This time the person counted the number of envoys, and was a little frustrated after the order, there were five envoys from Shu Kingdom, and it seemed that they could only run back all the way back by the carriage.

After a few people got into the carriage, they found that the temperature inside and outside the carriage had not changed, but fortunately, because of the large number of people, the big guys could still warm each other when they were huddled together.

The whole Guangyang is covered by ice and snow, although you can't see the true face of Guangyang, but this ice and snow cover also has a unique flavor, just like an ice city and snow area.

The carriage stopped after a while, and then someone was heard next to the carriage say, "Several messengers have arrived!"

After saying this, several people got off the carriage one after another, and then raised their eyes to look at the Prime Minister's Mansion in front of them.

"It's... Did you go to the wrong place?" Fan Shijin looked at the little guy beside him.

Xiong Jingchong pointed to the plaque of the mansion, on which the words "Qufu" were clearly written.

However, this Qufu in front of me is very different from other mansions, there are three or four towering pavilions alone, and there are already so many pavilions, so it is needless to say that this area is naturally occupied, and the end is almost invisible from the front door.

As soon as the gate of Qufu opened, two rows of people stood in pairs waiting in the door, and when they saw several Shu envoys, they greeted: "Welcome to the envoys of Shu!"

Liu Cong and Bai Xiyue opened their mouths slightly, and before they could speak, they were covered by Wei Shujin, and then Wei Shujin put his head to the ears of the two of them and said: "If you say too much, you will lose, and disaster will come from your mouth." ”

In the already cold winter, this sentence made Liu Cong and Bai Xiyue a little more chilly.

Fan Shijin smiled slightly, led the way inside, and the subordinates in the two rows bowed to a few people in turn, and finally finished the attention ceremony, and then the two subordinates brought hot towels and handed them to a few people.

"Thank you. Fan Shijin thanked him and took the towel. Originally, I thought that this battle would end here, but when I was about to walk to the first pavilion, someone brought a basin of hot water. Fan Shijin looked at the hot water basin and was stunned, is this to drink? But it's not like it, isn't it washing your hands? But the hot towel had already wiped his hands before, and after thinking about it, he decided to wait for Uncle Wei to step forward first.

Uncle Wei stepped forward, picked up the huge basin and prepared to clean it, and four or five subordinates beside him pulled it for a long time before holding it.

"Isn't this a hot soup that can warm up after drinking?" asked Wei Shujin.

When everyone saw these subordinates, although there was no change in the expression on their faces, they should be able to see that they were forcibly holding back their smiles, and even worse, their faces changed color, but they still didn't laugh.

At this time, a man who looked like a gentleman came over and said, "Several messengers have come from afar, and it is natural that they do not understand the customs of this house!"

The gentleman-like person glanced at the subordinates on both sides, and the subordinates helped the envoy of Shu to the chair, and then helped a few people take off their boots, and then put their feet in the basin. Several people felt that their hands and feet were cold from the time they went out, and as soon as they entered the hot water, they felt like they had come back to life. The people on both sides were not idle, rubbing their shoulders and beating their backs... After soaking their feet, the next person brought a towel to help a few people wipe them clean. The gentleman was afraid that the crowd would not be able to figure out the situation again, so he took off his boots, walked in barefoot first, and waited near the few men.

Fan Shijin understood at a glance that he couldn't wear shoes when he entered this room. Then he whispered to a few people: "Go in barefoot in a while." ”

A few people nodded understandingly, and then entered the first pavilion with their front and back feet, the floor at the entrance of the pavilion was solid wood, and when they walked inside, the ground was covered with carpet, and it was still warm on top.

"This floor is not only fluffy, but also very warm!" Liu Cong was very curious, and he couldn't wait to sleep on this floor at the moment.

"Rare and weird!" Bai Xiyue looked at Liu Cong outside the door, and said after walking in: "Wow, this is like stepping on an animal." ”

Fan Shijin, Xiong Jingchong, and Wei Shujin shook their heads with a smile, they were helpless and loved these two living treasure brothers.

"It's been years since anyone commented so much on the old man's house. Qu An walked out.

As soon as the servant saw Qu An coming out, he closed the door.

As soon as the door was closed, everyone realized that the room was so warm that the slightest cold wind could not blow in, and the fluffy floor could not be more comfortable.

"I've seen Prime Minister Qu!" everyone said in unison.

Qu An smiled and waved his hands and said, "Sit, everyone sit down." Oh, looking forward to the stars and the moon, it can be regarded as looking forward to a few people! Because of the arrival of a few people, this cold mansion is full of light. ”

"Prime Minister Qu Cheng's words are serious, his words are serious!" Fan Shijin generally likes to repeat this kind of words twice, first, because he is afraid that the first time is too quiet so that the other party can't hear it, and it also plays an emphatic meaning, too little once, too much three times, and no more and no less twice.

Qu An's body shape is very similar to his mansion, and the flesh on his body is thrown one after another when he walks, especially the meat on his stomach, which is even more general's belly than the general's belly.

I don't know if it's because there is a lot of meat on the face or because the eyes are small, Qu An can only see the flesh moving when he laughs, and the eyes are as if they have disappeared. The flesh on Qu An's face didn't move, he looked at several envoys of Shu and said, "Do you know what the old man meant by inviting you to come over?"

As soon as these words came out, Fan Shijin didn't know how to reply, it was the first time he entered another country, and he saw the prime minister and then the king. However, he still thought of a countermeasure, saying: "Junior... The younger generation is stupid... After thinking about it again and again, I couldn't figure out what Prime Minister Qu meant, and I hoped that Qu Gong would make it clear. ”

Qu Gong smiled, not only on his face, but also on his stomach. After laughing, he said: "Fan Envoy is still modest, in fact, the old man came to discuss one thing, but..."

"Prime Minister Qu Cheng said it's okay!" Fan Shijin saw that Qu An wanted to speak and stopped, so he immediately said.

Qu An saw that Fan Shijin was quite upright, so he said: "The old man knows that the new king of Shu has ascended the throne, this foundation is not very stable, you and I are both smart people, and if you have some words, the old man will not go around with you." As soon as your king of Shu ascended to the throne, this Jin Chu came on the back foot, why is this?"

"If we stand five points today, all countries will take advantage of the instability of other countries to start wars. Fan Shijin didn't say much, only said two words.

Qu An's eyebrows and eyes were squeezed together, and he agreed very much with Fan Shijin's words, so he patted the chair and said: "That's right! What the Fan envoy said coincides with the old man! The old man might as well tell the envoys that the envoys from Jin and Chu have been here for a few days, and the conditions put forward are very generous and very tempting. But the old man refused, how could Shu die? What does Shu lack? It lacks a strong backing! If you have an eternal relationship with my Great Zhou, I don't dare to guarantee that with my Great Zhou, I will be in Shu for a while!"

"How can this sound so familiar..."Liu never accidentally said what he was thinking, and by the time he realized it was too late.

Qu An still looked calm and breezy on the surface, but he spoke a little more seriously, and even the eyes in his flesh squeezed out, and said: "Fan envoy, don't believe in this kind of verbal covenant, there is no basis for it!

Before the man had even appeared, there was a smell in the room, which was fragrant and sweet, and the people looked at the source of the scent and saw the man come out.

It was a delicate face, every move of the eyebrows and eyes, just like the waves of the lake, a smile and a smile can ripple in everyone's hearts for a long time will not fade, the red lips are delicate, not the kind of big red and crimson, but the kind of red that fits itself very well, the top is so tender that it can almost pinch out the water, the woman raised her eyes inadvertently, the willow eyebrows were slightly raised, a pair of slender hands blocked the lips, the smile on the face was like the winter sun, and the people in the banquet were so pierced by the light that they couldn't even open their eyes.
