Since that day, Xiao Zuo has never seen him again. In fact, Xiao Zuo really wanted to visit Lin Renzhao and explain the misunderstanding, but unfortunately whenever he had this idea, he couldn't help but retreat again. Since ancient times, loyal ministers and celebrities, in addition to the high wind and bright festival, also have a temperament that is stubborn and unspiritual, and does not eat the ancient. Therefore, Xiao Zuo hesitated several times, but he still didn't go.

It wasn't until the day the envoy set off that Lin Renzhao was pulled by Li Zhongxuan and reluctantly saw off the envoy. Xiao Zuo is wearing an official robe today, and he looks a little bit majestic as an ancient civil servant. Originally, he was in a good mood as an official, but when he saw Lin Renzhao with a black face walking over, he couldn't help frowning.

"General Lin, thank you for seeing me off. Seeing Lin Renzhao, Xiao Zuo still stepped forward very politely to say hello.

It's a pity that General Lin tilted his head and said coldly: "Lin is here to see off the envoys today, not just for a certain person. ”

Xiao Zuo was stunned, and shook his head with a wry smile, it seems that it is not a matter of a day or two for the two of them to release their previous suspicions.

Originally, Li Yu, who was the supreme leader of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was supposed to come to see him off, but this guy didn't know what he had eaten the night before, so he couldn't get up from his stomach, so he sent Li Shenoracle. At this time, the county lord Li Divine Oracle also came over, and when he saw Xiao Zuo's appearance, he couldn't help but smile slightly, "Xiao Zuo, have a good trip, I'm waiting for you to come back." ”

Xiao Zuo looked at Li Shenyu very embarrassedly, feeling that no matter what the county lord in front of him said, he felt like a virtuous wife seeing off her husband who was about to leave far away. He was stunned for a moment, and replied a little shyly: "Thank you county lord, the villain must live up to his mission." ”

After Li Shenzhi finished speaking, he turned to look at Li Congshan, the envoy of this trip, "Brother Huang, this time I went north to Bianliang, I hope everything goes well, and I will come back as soon as possible." ”

Li Congshan nodded with a smile, "Imperial sister don't worry, go back as soon as possible." ”

After a farewell, the envoy team set off from Honglu Temple. Li Divine Oracle watched the team gradually move away, and his heart was mixed, and he didn't know what would happen to Xiao Zuo and them when they went to Bianliang.

As soon as the team arrived at the north gate, they were intercepted by the men and horses of the City Patrol Division. Since receiving Li Yu's will to cooperate with Shui Yunjian to arrest Song Guo, the city patrol division has been strictly guarded, and today, Zhou Qiling, the commander of Shui Yunjian, also came to the north gate in person, I don't know if he found traces of the key criminals.

"Lord Zhou, what do you mean by this, we are visiting the embassy of Bianliang, why are we blocking our way?" Li Congshan stepped forward and said dissatisfiedly.

The little old man Zhou Qiling was expressionless, and said lightly: "I came by the emperor's order, Zhou just got a tip, and the mission was mixed with Bianliang Xizuo, so I hope that the prince will forgive me and cooperate with the city patrol department to arrest the important criminals." ”

When the good old man Li Congshan heard that he was ordered by the emperor, the expression on his face suddenly changed. Moreover, he is very clear about the methods of Shui Yunjian, if the entire Southern Tang Dynasty is except for Li Yu, then Zhou Qiling is the person he dare not offend the most.

"Then, since Lord Zhou is here on the emperor's order, this king will also cooperate, but I just hope that Lord Zhou will not wronged a good person. ”

"Please rest assured, we will act impartially," Zhou Qiling bowed and saluted, and said: "Surround the embassy and check it carefully, and no one will be missed." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a large group of people around the city gate surrounded the mission, and then rushed out from the side gate more than 20 people in black clothes, it seemed that these people were the finesse of the water and clouds.

"Wait!" Xiao Zuo, who had been watching from the sidelines, stood up at this time, looked at Zhou Qiling, and said coldly: "This is Zhou Ren, right, who dared to check the Son of Heaven Mission with such courage from you?"

"Who are you?" Zhou Qiling's eyes flickered, and the murderous aura on his face instantly forced Xiao Zuo.

"A certain is Xiao Zuo, the emperor's deputy envoy for foreign visits. Xiao Zuo was not afraid of the coercion released from Zhou Qiling's body, and took a step forward, looking at him with burning eyes.

"Hmph!" Zhou Qiling sneered, "A small deputy envoy for a foreign visit, how dare you stop me from handling the case in Shuiyunjian?"

"Bold!" Xiao Zuo shouted: "You are a small spy leader, without a holy purpose, you dare to stop my envoy from visiting Bianliang, do you know that you have delayed the trip and made Emperor Song unhappy, and when the time comes, the two countries will meet each other, you are a capital crime!"

Xiao Zuo bit the word "capital crime" very hard, but Zhou Qiling didn't think so, "It's such a big hat, Zhou can't afford to be guilty, if you let go of the court criminals, plot against the thieves, and cause a big mess, Lord Xiao will not be afraid of the nine clans?"

The two men looked at each other, aggressively, and each did not give in. The good old man Li Congshan saw that the two of them were together, and hurriedly came out to play a round, "The two adults are serving the emperor, each has a reason, it is better to give in to each other." Mr. Zhou will finish the investigation quickly, so that it will not delay our trip. ”

Li Congshan's words sounded as if he was taking care of the feelings of the two people, but in fact he was still biased towards Zhou Qiling. Although Xiao Zuo came out of the sky and seemed to be valued by Li Yu, Zhou Qiling was also Li Yu's cronies, and he had been in business for many years. In Li Congshan's eyes, the most unoffending person is Zhou Qiling.

"Master Li," Xiao Zuo looked at Li Congshan, and said righteously: "We have the emperor's order in our body, how can we delay at will, and besides, the mission is related to the face of a country, how can people act recklessly." ”

After teaching Li Congshan a lesson, he turned to Zhou Qiling and said: "Lord Zhou, if you want to interrogate the people of my mission, please come up with a holy decree, if there is no holy decree, there is no need to talk about it!"

Li Congshan looked at Xiao Zuo's majestic appearance, and his heart was anxious and hateful. What is anxious is that Xiao Zuo doesn't know what to do, so he has to do it against Zhou Qiling, and what he hates is that this kid doesn't even take himself in his eyes. So the good old man Li Congshan was angry, "Lord Xiao, please remember, I am the visiting envoy!"

The implication is that you are just a deputy envoy, and you still need to listen to me, the chief envoy, for anything. Xiao Zuo was not afraid, and said with a straight face: "Lord Li, you are a righteous envoy, and you should protect the interests and face of our envoys, such a hasty compromise, if you go to Bianliang like this, wouldn't you lose Bixia's face and my Southern Tang integrity?"

Li Congshan was embarrassed and angry, but he had nothing to say, he flicked his sleeves and stood aside, looking like I don't care about this matter, and you are responsible for the problem.

The situation suddenly stalemate. Xiao Zuo didn't let the people in the water and clouds get close to the mission, and Zhou Qiling couldn't come up with the holy decree, the two ** stared at each other, but they didn't speak.

In fact, Xiao Zuo's heart is also very empty, if he really makes trouble, he will sue Li Yu. As a newcomer to officialdom who is not very popular with Li Yu, nine times out of ten he will not be able to please good fruit to eat. But he can't help it, this week's order must be aimed at Chen, if he compromises, then this matter will definitely be a gang, and he will probably not be able to get rid of it at that time.

He can only gamble now, betting that Zhou Qiling has no holy decree, or that Zhou Qiling will not do it with him in public. After all, this matter is stiff, and Zhou Qiling is inevitably blamed by Li Yu.

As for Zhou Qiling, he actually didn't take Xiao Zuo in his eyes at all, and he didn't care about whether there was a holy decree at all. It's just that the young man in front of him who suddenly came out aroused his interest, so he didn't make a decision for a while.

"Lord Zhou, what a majesty!"

At this moment, Li Shenyu, who received the news, rushed over, she quickly stepped forward and crossed between the two, but she actually protected Xiao Zuo, looked at Zhou Qiling with an angry face and said, "Lord Zhou, don't you want to do it here regardless of the face of the heavenly family?"

Seeing the oracle of Li, Zhou Qiling changed his mind, he glanced at the envoys, and said lightly: "Since the county lord is here, then Zhou can't ignore the system, and I hope that Lord Xiao will pay attention to it, and if you find a suspicious person, you also hope that your lord will take the national law first." ”

"Withdraw, let the mission out of the city. Zhou Qiling retreated to the side, and the men and horses of Shui Yunjian and the City Patrol Division dispersed one after another, making way for the mission.

Fearing that Zhou Qiling would make things difficult, Li Divine Oracle followed the envoy out of the city, and when he reached the outskirts, he stopped and prepared to leave.

"Xiao Zuo, you have to be careful, and this week's order, you must also be careful. At the time of parting, Li Shenyu whispered to Xiao Zuo.

"What kind of person was Zhou Qiling, so arrogant. Xiao Zuo asked dissatisfiedly.

"He's the one I suspect the Taiping Sect planted next to Bixia. If he is really a Taiping person, then your trip may not be peaceful. ”

Although Li Shenzhi didn't know why Zhou Qiling that old fox would target the mission, the flies didn't bite the eggs, and he thought that this old guy still had a backhand, so he reminded Xiao Zuo to be vigilant.

After speaking, she turned to Li Congshan and said, "Brother Huang, I hope you don't blame Xiao Zuo for what happened just now." Xiao Zuo accompanied Bianliang this time, and Bixia's secret decree was poor, and the matter of the envoy on the surface depended on the imperial brother, but if it was other matters, I hope that the imperial brother would listen to Xiao Zuo's words more. ”

The almost tense situation between Li Xiao and the two just now made Li Divine Oracles worry that the two would clash again in the future, so she wanted to mediate, but in fact, she was beating Li Congshan not to miss Xiao Zuo's "business".

Although Li Congshan has no ability and no responsibility, he still has the ability to observe words and colors. As soon as Divine Oracle Li said this, he knew that Xiao Zuo's envoy had other important things to do, so he didn't care about Xiao Zuo's unreasonableness anymore, and said with a smile: "Sister Huang, don't worry, Brother Huang knows that this trip will not be a disagreement with Lord Xiao's life." ”

Zhou Qiling stood on the city tower and watched the mission gradually move away.

"My lord, why don't you stop them, then Chen is in it. Beside Zhou Qiling, a black-robed man said.

Zhou Qiling smiled slightly, "It's just a small fish, besides, if you really have a conflict with them here, it will be a trouble, Canglong, you find a group of loyal masters, intercept you on the way, and then take Lin Renzhao's portrait and go to Bianliang to hand it over to the sect leader." ”

"The villain takes the order. The black-robed man named Canglong bowed down and said.

"In addition, send someone to check the details of this person named Xiao Zuo, this person is very interesting, to see if he is the person who is shili. It's been a long time since I've met someone who dares to argue with the old man in public. ”
