Li Yu has been thinking about Xiao Zuo's words, and it is hard for him to believe that such a free speech came from the mouth of the turtle in front of him, maybe it was really a master who did not show his face.

Xiao Zuo's so-called learning from the Su and Qin countries to fight against the Zhao and Song dynasties, Li Yu was actually not very tempted, in his opinion, the Song State occupied the Central Plains, the geographical location is excellent, but the other countries were divided by the Song State and did not border each other, it is difficult to think that the six countries combined forces sent a letter to Guguan.

This is not to blame Xiao Zuo, he thinks about problems with the thinking of a modern person, and ignores the most important point of the alliance of various countries is the exchange of information. Nowadays, there is the Internet, there are telephones, faxes, and video conferences, and it is possible to exchange information regardless of the barrier of space. However, in ancient times, when information was blocked, and the geographical location between countries made it an impossible task to unite and send troops together.

Seven or eight countries, large and small, some in the south, some in the north, some in the east, and there is a foreign race in the north ready to move, if the countries really unite to fight out of the Central Plains, then are not afraid to worry about fighting to the defeat of both sides, halfway to kill a trip to bite the gold to make a profit?

And Li Oracle's words also frowned after listening to Xiao Zuo's words, she didn't expect Xiao Zuo to come up with such a seemingly useful but meaningless way to persuade Li Yu. looked at Xiao Zuo, and then looked at Li Yu, at this time she was also nervous in her heart, afraid that Li Yu would treat Xiao Zuo as a person who would only talk about it on paper like Zhao Kuo, and it would not be good to ignore him in the future.

"I can accept the position of deputy envoy of Bianliang this time, there is no quality, and there is no position, and there will be no official rank after returning from Bianliang. Li Yu thought for a moment and said, "Your so-called matter of uniting the kingdoms, I hope you will immediately dispel this idea. There is only one purpose of your trip, that is, to understand Zhao Kuangyin's attitude towards our dynasty, and at least to know whether he has the intention of moving troops to Jiangnan, and when to do so. ”

What really moved Li Yu was Xiao Zuo's calm and calm conversation, as well as his zuihou's words. Li Yu originally planned to let his younger brother Li Congshan wait for an opportunity to inquire after he arrived in Bianliang, but he knew that Li Congshan's ability could not gain anything at all, and Xiao Zuo, who appeared at this time, was a little reckless, but a little cautious and a little clever. Such a person is not a candidate worth cultivating.

When Xiao Zuo heard this, he knelt down happily, "The grass people worship Bixia, this time I will go to Bianliang, and I will not fail in my mission." ”

Xiao Zuo doesn't care if he is an official or not, as long as he can have a legal identity to meet Zhao Kuangyin.

Li Divine Oracle and Xiao Zuo walked out of the palace, Xiao Zuo's face was relaxed, but Li Divine Oracle's face was solemn, seeing that Li Divine Oracle's face was not good, Xiao Zuo couldn't help but ask, "County Lord, what's wrong with you?"

Li Shenzhi stopped, looked at Xiao Zuo very seriously, and said, "Xiao Zuo, do you know that you were very dangerous just now. ”

"What's dangerous?" the smile on Xiao Zuo's face froze for a moment, and he asked puzzled.

"Bixia has never liked to talk about it, what you said just now is really too out of line, and I don't know why Bixia suddenly changed her mind, otherwise it may be difficult for you to get out of the palace so safely today. ”

Lee's words were not an exaggeration at all. Although Li Yu is very weak in his bones and looks weak, he is only soft when facing people who are stronger than himself, and he is very domineering when facing people who are weaker than himself. To put it simply, it is to deceive the good and fear the evil.

Xiao Zuo's thoughts, for Li Yu, there is only one place that is really dangerous, that is, it unnaturally shows the weakness of Li Yu who does not dare to confront Zhao Kuangyin head-on. How did this manifest itself? Uniting all countries against Zhao and Song indirectly recognized that Zhao Song was stronger than Southern Tang? And Southern Tang had always bowed down to Zhao and Song, and in Li Yu's view, he just didn't want to compromise with his troops, not because he was afraid of Zhao Kuangyin.

Really unites all countries to fight against Zhao Kuangyin, doesn't this mean that he has been weak before, and he will not dare to face Zhao Kuangyin if he does not engage in unity, is this not weakness or what?

The people who became emperors, except for those who did not do their jobs properly and did not know whether they were alive or dead, there were a few who were not shrewd. Even if there is no way, you also need to think about how to be arrogant and luxurious. Maybe Xiao Zuo was lucky today, or maybe his previous song "Huanxi Sha" disturbed Li Yu's state of mind, otherwise with his previous temper, others said that he was weak, and he would have been furious and sent Xiao Zuo to prison for the crime of disrespect.

After Xiao Zuo listened to Li Shen's analysis, his face turned pale with fright, and sure enough, he was like a companion, and he was dangling in front of the Ghost Gate just now. He looked south, towards the sky, clasped his hands together, and recited the Buddha name "Amitabha!" loudly.

After getting the identity of the envoy, Xiao Zuo had some other formalities to do, and with the help of Li Shenyu, he went to the Ministry of Officials to make a report, and then went to Honglu Temple (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) to report. Although Li Yu said that he only has a name, no rank, no salary, and is even a temporary worker, and he will be dismissed after finishing his work, but as an envoy to a country, no matter how much he has to have a reported identity. To report to Honglu Temple is to let everyone know that there is such a person who has become such an official, otherwise when the time comes, he will go to Bianliang and let Song Guo know that Li Yu casually found someone to congratulate Zhao Kuangyin on his birthday, and then the matter will be a big deal.

After a few busy days, and the day of the departure of the envoy was approaching, Li Zhongxuan took him to visit his uncle again, and Li Congshan, the envoy of Bianliang this time. When I first saw Li Congshan, I gave Xiao Zuo the feeling that he was a good old man, and the so-called good old man was the kind that anyone could bully, but in fact he was extremely weak and incompetent.

Li Congshan met with Xiao Zuo cordially and politely, although he was surprised why Li Yu would arrange such a little-known deputy for himself, but he did not say anything about it. Even this old guy thought that Xiao Zuo was Li Yu's recent favorite star, and couldn't help but ask Xiao Zuo if he had a marriage match, the content was very straightforward and explicit, so he almost said directly to Xiao Zuo: "Which girl do you fall in love with, just tell me, I can't do it." ”

Xiao Zuo ran out of Li Congshan's mansion as a fugitive, and he now understood why Li Yu would send such a guy to Bianliang. This goods are placed in front of Zhao Kuangyin, and they can't do anything big, and they definitely can't cause trouble.

After Xiao Zuo returned to the world, he couldn't stay in Qixia Temple. So the oracle Li arranged him in the mansion of the county lord given by the emperor.

As soon as Xiao Zuo lived in the county lord's mansion, he felt that his life had finally been reborn. He likes the county lord's mansion very much, mainly because he can live a life of fine clothes and food, and he no longer has to eat those blandish dishes. And since Xiao Zuo moved in, Li Shenoracle, who rarely returned to the county lord's mansion, no longer stayed in Shouqingguan. Every time she saw Xiao Zuo smirking, she felt very down-to-earth and stable in her heart.

Weeping Willow Building, in a private room by the Qinhuai River, Xiao Zuo and Yu Pixiu sat opposite each other.

"Should I call you Xiao Zuo now, or Daoxi?" Yu Pixiu looked at Xiao Zuo's hairless head with a crooked head, and laughed.

"Feel free to do so, the name is just a title, anyway, it's just the two of us here, I know you just need to talk to me. Xiao Zuo said lightly.

"Why, are you happy to live in the county lord's mansion now, I don't know if you still remember your poor second brother. Yu Pixiu sneered.

When it comes to the intangibility of water, Xiao Zuo can't help but feel a little sentimental. He asked where the jade pixiu water was invisible, but the answer that the jade pixiu gave him was that he didn't know.

It turned out that Yu Pixiu had just arrived in Jinling and became a strategist of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and by chance learned from the counselor of the Prime Minister's Mansion that Shui Yunjian had captured a strange person. Yu Pixiu asked a few more questions in curiosity, and the counselor described the appearance of the strange man in his mouth. So Yu Pixiu had the guess that the water was invisibly captured by the water clouds.

At the beginning, Yujian Xiao Zuo, Yu Pixiu just said the invisible whereabouts of the water with the mentality of giving it a try, but in fact, she didn't know the bottom of her own heart. Later, in order to be open and honest, and really strive for Xiao Zuo to come and help, she relayed the strange man's appearance described by the counselor to Xiao Zuo, and after Xiao Zuo listened, he was convinced that the strange man was invisible.

But the two of them knew that Shui Invisible had been captured by Shui Yunjian, but they didn't know where the organization of Shui Yunjian was. If he wants to save his second brother, the only way Xiao Zuo can think of is to grab the core figure of Shui Yun Jian and ask him clearly, but unfortunately, they have not even encountered a small peripheral role in Shui Yun Jian so far.

"Forget it, this matter is at a loss for a while, I asked you to come today to talk about the portrait. Xiao Zuo temporarily let go of the invisible concern about water in his heart and said leisurely.

When Yu Pixiu heard this, she asked happily, "Have you got the county lord?"

Xiao Zuo smiled slightly, and said: "This time, there are one or two more deputy envoys in Jinling's mission, and that person is me, when the time comes, I will bring Chen Fang with me, and his identity is my servant, but before that, I have a request." ”

"What requirements?" Yu Pixiu didn't know what Xiao Zuo had in mind, and she was slightly suspicious in her heart.

Xiao Zuo looked at Yu Pixiu with burning eyes, and said, "I need you to write a letter to Bianliang, or give me a token, so that your boss thinks that I am my own person." ”

"What do you want to do? Don't forget that we are only working together temporarily. Yu Pixiu looked at Xiao Zuo in surprise, although she also had the idea of pulling Xiao Zuo into the water, but in the line of spies, how could she join the gang casually. Yu Pixiu's attitude towards Xiao Zuo is still in a wait-and-see state, and she doesn't dare to take the risk of introducing Xiao Zuo to Bianliang.

What if Xiao Zuo had ill intentions, wanted to paralyze Bianliang, intended to spy on intelligence, and even wanted to find an opportunity to assassinate Zhao Kuangyin? This kind of risk, even if it was only one in 10,000, she did not dare to trust Xiao Zuo easily.

"Don't worry," Xiao Zuo saw through Yu Pixiu's thoughts, and said lightly: "I won't spy on your intelligence, nor will I assassinate Emperor Song without my might, I just hope to have a good relationship with Bianliang, and the world will be unified in the future, don't remember that I was an envoy to the Southern Tang Dynasty." ”

Seeing that Xiao Zuo was sincere and not at all like pretending, Yu Pixiu thought for a while and said, "It's okay to agree to your request, but after you come back from Bianliang, I need you to do things for us wholeheartedly." ”
