171.
The location of the "Mengcheng Blind Date Conference" is under the Danmu Sacred Tree, around the Danmu Sacred Tree, a small table is set up, a hundred pairs of men and women are fighting against each other, and the various onlookers who are several times the number of men and women are watching the men and women fight against each other.
As a man's general, Zhu Zi wore a robe made of unknown materials specially brought by Zi Baifeng from the bird and mouse view, standing in the crowd, as if standing out from the crowd.
Liu Lie, who was dressed in military uniform, took Li and others to guard the left and right, willing to be the green leaves to set off the existence of this general, although they also came to participate in the blind date today, but at the same time, there is also an important task, that is, when necessary, to help the pillar solve some troubles.
After the hard thinking and meditation of the pillar and the pillar mother, the number of blind dates on the pillar is thirty-two, so this time only seventy-six blind dates can reach the limit of one hundred and eight, and then Liu Lie, Li Dai and others will have to run over in time to protect the pillar, and the one hundred and ninth girl must not easily find the pillar This diamond king Lao Wu.
This matter is very important, in addition to Liu Lie and Li Dai, Zi Baifeng also sent his two private soldiers **** Song Bing to escort him, he himself planned to help watch the point, and the matter of the pillar was also his business, so he had to pay attention.
Who would have thought that when the matter was approaching, a letter interrupted all his plans.
..................
Xia Shujie stood at the bow of the boat, looking into the distance.
Traveling from Xijing, I first took a horse-drawn carriage, traveled thousands of miles to bypass the Desert of Death, then turned to Quzhou Mansion, took an official boat down the Qushui River, and then turned to a horse-drawn carriage and walked 300 miles, and then I arrived on the Menghe River again, and the whole journey took more than a month.
When he was young, he used to travel with his father everywhere, and he also learned the kung fu of tuna cultivation with the worship of the family, and also practiced diligently day and night, although he never feathered into immortals, but he did not lose ordinary monks, before leaving, his father passed on a family heirloom treasure to him.
The guards around them didn't know that this boy from Xijing was actually stronger than their combat power, and looked at him with a little pity from time to time, and when Xia Shujie turned his head, he was still shaking his head and sighing.
Xia Shujie was sent to Quzhou Prefecture to the territory, saying that he was the minister of the Qincha and came to deal with the negotiation with Xia Junguo with full authority, in fact, this hot potato was forced into his body.
What to talk about? The country no longer has any hope for the ownership of Mengcheng and the other three cities, and the fact that he is a young four-rank official who has almost no experience in diplomacy or negotiation has already explained everything.
Xia Shujie is just thirty-two years old this year, and he is already a member of the fourth grade, of course, this kind of achievement is not dull, let alone incompetent, and even very good. But he was in Xijing, where the entire country gathered, and countless demonic geniuses completely covered up his light, making him obscure.
There are outstanding talents who can come to the hot potato of negotiation, but those people are afraid that they can't hide from it, and the hot potato will fall into his hands after the worst trouble.
It's really a left-handed change for a right-handed, hot squeak, no one peels the skin, and you can't eat it.
The only thing that is gratifying is that he, a fourth-grade official who didn't even look at the porter in Xijing, suddenly became majestic after leaving Xijing, everyone complimented him, and gave priority everywhere, so that Xia Shujie vaguely found the feeling when he was a child and his father went to work in other places, and he couldn't help but be high-spirited. He secretly wondered in his heart, whether he simply didn't stay in Xijing, looking for a place, serving as an official, and one of his parents, which could be regarded as an achievement.
If you can keep the three cities of Mongolia and make great contributions, maybe you can divide one of your own state capitals and let yourself be a parent official?
With this thought, Xia Shujie began to pay attention to what he saw along the way, but along the way, he became more and more cold and frightened. I have been staying in the capital, I thought that the world was singing and dancing, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, but who would have thought that along the way, the people were not living well, and the scene of starvation everywhere was seen a lot, especially when it came to Quzhou Mansion. The war in Nanyang City made Quzhou Mansion completely chaotic, and along the way, homeless robbers could be seen everywhere.
Xia Shujie's thoughts of receiving awards for meritorious service gradually faded, it is not unreasonable for so many people who are better than himself to live in Xijing, or at the feet of the Son of Heaven, it is more tempting to stay in that peaceful place and live comfortably.
"Ahead is Mengcheng Mansion, Mengcheng Mansion is the place of this negotiation, and it is also the safest place in the three cities ahead, so adults can have a good rest. Shi Liu, the governor of Quanzhou who was accompanying him, said with a smile, he was an official from the fifth grade, and he was much lower in the face of the fourth-grade officials, so his posture was very low, and he was comfortable to serve the minister in front of the saddle and behind the horse.
Although he has been ostracized a lot in Xijing, as a Beijing official, Xia Shujie still has a sense of superiority in the face of officials from other places, coupled with the aura of a minister on his body, he is indifferent to the flattery of the magistrate, but he snorted in his nose, indicating that he already knows the Tao.
"The prince of Mengcheng Mansion should have come to greet him. "Changshi Liu Dao," Mengcheng Mansion Jun is a strange person, he is a weak champion, and he has just won the show for less than a year, and he has already sat on the throne of the Mansion Monarch. ”
Xia Shujie sighed, but he didn't care, in his opinion, it was not a big deal to become a prince in the year of the weak crown, but it was just a sesame official.
Seeing that Xia Shujie didn't have anything to know about Mengcheng Fujun, Changshi Liu just shut up directly, letting Xia Shujie be cold and arrogant for a while, and not annoy people here.
As soon as Changshi Liu entered the cabin, he heard a rushing sound of water in front of him, and saw a white line extending from afar, and at the point of the arrow of the white line, it was a small boat, which was running on the water, as if flying in the airspace, and it had reached a close place in the blink of an eye.
"Who is in front, this is the minister's car, don't retreat quickly, otherwise you will be killed!" Xia Shujie's escort commander is a commander of the Praetorian Guard, and he is also a six-rank official, at this time, he took a step forward and shouted angrily, majestic.
But when he heard that the boat on the other side gradually slowed down, Xia Shujie saw that although the boat was not big, it was carved beams and painted buildings, with vermilion lacquer cloud patterns, and there was luxury in the elegance. On the bow of the ship stood a young man dressed in a fancy costume, who bowed his hand at this time and said, "The gentleman of the Mengcheng Mansion is silent to greet Lord Qincha. ”
Just said lightly, and didn't say more, a pair of eyes looked up and down Xia Shujie standing at the bow of the ship.
Xia Shujie's eyes were also looking at Zi Baifeng, only to feel that the young man in front of him, the aura on his body was surging, obviously he was also a cultivator, and he was not an extraordinary person, his eyes were almost completely taken away by this young man, and after a long time, he found that there was a thin middle-aged man standing behind the young man, who had introduced himself for a long time at this time, and said a lot of long-winded, but he didn't hear a word.
"That's the lord of the city. Changshi Liu stood back at the bow of the boat at this time and reminded Xia Shujie in a low voice.
In fact, it doesn't make sense to remind or not, Xia Shujie only nodded slightly to Zi Baifeng, and even more so as if he didn't see it, his eyes wandered, and he didn't know what Lu Dao was paying attention to.
"The road ahead is far away, if it is a big ship, it will take another three hours, why don't Lord Qincha move the cloud boat of the lower officials, and go to Mengcheng, it will be reached in an instant. Zi Baifeng was also looking at Xia Shujie, the person in front of him was a few years younger than Fu Jun, although in terms of official position, he was far higher than Fu Jun, but he did not have the sense of majesty left by Fu Jun to Zi Baifeng.
Tightly pursed lips, slightly raised eyebrows, cold expression, no official authority, only official arrogance, just an arrogant hairy scholar. The only thing worth paying attention to may be the faint aura on his body, he is not only a fourth-grade official, but he should also be a monk who has already entered the hall, and his cultivation is equivalent to that of the disciple of the Danmu Sect. But he is used to seeing all kinds of masters, and this kind of superficial cultivation can't add a few points to Xia Shujie.
Seeing this minister, Zi Baifeng was very disappointed in his heart, can such a minister be able to deal with Xia Junguo's envoy, and can he bring happiness to Mengcheng?
Thinking like this, Zi Baifeng shook his head gently, he knew that Lu Dao would not come to greet him so early, it would be good to come back after participating in the blind date of the pillar, while it is still too late, let's go back first.
Anyway, negotiating this kind of thing, although he is on his own territory, he is a small prince, but he is not qualified to participate, and he may not have any intersection with these people in the future, so he pretends to offer a few mud bodhisattvas, and it is good to make offerings.
Xia Shujie didn't know what to say, he had been looked down upon by people who were much younger than him, but he saw the extraordinaryness of Zibai Fengyunzhou, and he had long been impatient with the long journey, so he nodded and said, "It's okay." ”
"Lord Qincha......" Changshi Liu quietly pulled Xia Shujie's sleeve, wanting to persuade him to think twice, he is now a Qincha, representing the majesty of Xijing, not to mention, Changshi Liu also has to ensure Xia Shujie's safety, such a small boat, naturally not as safe as a big boat, if you encounter bandits on the water, I am afraid that it will be troublesome.
But Xia Shujie had already stepped forward, the cloud boat was moving forward, the side of the boat was lightly touched, and Xia Shujie had already raised his feet and stepped forward.
"Lord Qincha......" Changshi Liu hurriedly raised his heels and went up, who would have thought that he was pushed and almost fell under the water, but it was the commander of the Praetorian Guard who got on the boat first.
Then there were the four Praetorian Guards, these four people seemed to be innocent and teasing Chang Shi Liu, and they all pushed him when he was around, causing him to staggern, and it was not easy to maintain his balance.
These guys of the Praetorian Guard are arrogant one by one, and when they get below, the king of heaven is not afraid, they may not have anything to do with these people in their lives, except for the big men in Xijing, who will not give face.
"My lord......" Fortunately, at this moment, a person took a step forward, grabbed him, helped him onto the cloud boat, cracked his mouth, and smiled flatteringly: "Your Excellency, please ......"
The city lord of Meng is also thin.
