On the fifth day, Shi Bingyuanzhen, the right head of the Wei Palace, was ordered by Li Mi to come to Xinglong Laodian to visit Diao Xiaosi and others.

The news that the Luoyang Mission and the Chang'an Mission lived in the same inn was no secret in Kim Yong City. Perhaps this is exactly what Li Mi likes to see, because in this way, he can invisibly have a lot of bargaining chips, and weigh the two major forces left and right to wait for the price to sell.

So, he is not in a hurry to make a decision. However, the hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops from Jiangdu were like arrows and arrows, and they were already approaching Henan, leaving him not much time to make the most decisive decision.

Bing Yuanzhen stood outside the door of Xinglong's old store, admiring the plaque inscription on the door of the store, waiting for Diao Xiaosi and others to go out to greet him. He just asked the shopkeeper to take his name and stab it inside, and I believe there will be a response soon.

However, time was passing bit by bit, and the long-term entourage and guards who came with him were already impatient, but Diao Xiaosi and the others did not show up for a long time, and even the shopkeeper who entered the inn seemed to have evaporated from the world.

"My lord, what's the matter with this surnamed Diao?" a long attendant asked, "Why don't you go in and have a look?"

Bing Yuanzhen stared at the plaque of Xinglong's old store with squinted eyes, shook his head and said, "Wait." ”

He was not in a hurry, nor was he angry, but faintly happy - the negotiation with Li Yuan broke down, and he was in his own hands. Compared with Li Yuan, who was cowering in the pass, he hoped that Li Mi could judge the situation and surrender to the Great Sui Imperial Court, after all, the hundreds of thousands of Wagang troops were now trapped in the encirclement of Wang Shichong and Yu Wenhua and the two armies.

But what Bing Yuan really didn't know was that Diao Xiaosi had no intention of coming out to greet him at all.

At this moment, he is dragging the shopkeeper who came to report the news, from a few people and a few acres of land in the family, until last year in the village who died, who got married, who gave birth to a baby, and whose sow gave birth to more piglets, but he didn't raise the door to greet Bing Yuanzhen'er.

The shopkeeper said with a dry mouth, couldn't help but grab the water cup on the table and drink it up, and reminded for the seventh time: "Diao Gongzi, that Lord Bing is still outside......"

Diao Xiaosi slapped his thigh and interrupted his words, as if remembering something very important, and asked, "I almost forgot, you just said that the old sow at home is black, white or flower?"

The shopkeeper completely lost his temper, but fortunately, the savior came at this time. Bing Yuanzhen walked into the small courtyard with a sinking face, looked at Diao Xiaosi, the eldest grandson Wuji and Princess Jincheng who were as stable as Mount Tai in the guest room, and sneered: "Diao Gongzi, what a big shelf!"

Who knew that Diao Xiaosi sat in the chair steadily, glanced at Bing Yuanzhen and asked the shopkeeper, "Who is this bad old man?"

The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "He is Lord Shi Bingyuan Zhenbing, the right chief of the Wei Palace!"

As soon as Diao Xiaosi heard this, he immediately jumped up from the chair and shouted, "Oops", "Lord Bing, what kind of wind blew you here?" He turned his head and reprimanded the shopkeeper: "How did you open your door to do business, such an important guest came here, and no one came to report it?"

The shopkeeper almost blew up his lungs, and just opened his mouth to defend himself, the eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but pick up the folding fan and knocked it heavily on his skull: "Don't stand in a daze, go make tea!"

Bing Yuanzhen said coldly: "No need, the old man has a few words, and he will leave after speaking." ”

Diao Xiaosi smiled and asked, "I don't know what Master Bing has to teach you?"

"I don't dare to give advice, I don't dare to hide it, I came to visit the three of you by the mouth of King Wei, and I want to hear your views on the current situation. Bing Yuanzhen sat down in the room, and several entourages closed the door and guarded outside the guest room.

"I know that you were sent by Li Yuan, and I also heard that Diao Gongzi and Qin Dashuai have a good relationship. As for the origin of the eldest grandson and the princess, the old man also knows a little about it. So you and I don't have to say any useless polite words, I believe you all know very well what King Wei wants most. ”

"Then what is what King Wei wants the most?" Diao Xiaosi looked confused and pondered: "Silver, big manor, land deed, beauty, it seems that he is not lacking in these, is it possible-"

He suddenly gasped, lowered his voice and approached Bing Yuanzhen: "Could it be that King Wei has a sleeve break fetish and wants a male pet?"

"You!" Bing Yuanzhen's face suddenly became extremely exciting, and he shook his hand and pointed at Diao Xiaosi and scolded angrily: "Presumptuous!"

"Even if I guess wrong, you don't have to be so angry, right?" Diao Xiaosi reluctantly turned his head to the eldest grandson Wuji for help: "Brother Wuji, what do you say King Wei wants most? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji glared at Diao Xiaosi with disdain: "The eldest husband is determined to be in the world, and what King Wei wants most is of course to unify the country! Alas, it's hard for you - Yan Que Yan knows the ambition of the bird, just a guy like you who eats and waits for death in addition to messing around with the relationship between men and women, greedy for gold and silver treasures, and manor title deeds, what is left in the brain is a bundle of straw." ”

"Dominate the country?" Diao Xiaosi's eyes widened in astonishment, forgetting the ridicule of Sun Wuji, and hesitantly: "The difficulty of getting hold of this thing is a bit high, can it be exchanged for a bucket of cowpeas, I will send it to King Wei early tomorrow." ”

Bing Yuan was so angry that he trembled, and he couldn't say a word of the full stomach that was originally ready to say anything, and he "snapped" a few cases and said in a loud voice: "You dare to tease the old man!"

Diao Xiaosi was not panicked at all, and looked at Bing Yuanzhen with a smile: "Lord Bing, you are not young, right?"

Bing Yuanzhen was stunned for a moment, and snorted angrily: "When the old man was studying and traveling the world, you didn't put on your open crotch pants yet!"

Diao Xiaosi asked, "Then you are a big man, this will not be wrong, right?"

Bing Yuan really didn't know why, and frowned: "What do you mean by this?"

"Smack!" Diao Xiaosi slapped on a few cases suddenly, shaking the cups and splashing tea, his face became faster than turning a book, and he said with an angry face: "Teasing you - are you a beauty? Niang Xipi, just you black and ugly old man, I feel disgusting to look at it more!"

"You play music with Lao Tzu, and you don't go to inquire about who your little fourth master is? Lao Tzu came all the way to Kim Yong City, originally wanting to help Li Mi in front of a few old friends, who knew that the hot face was pasted with a cold ass, and he actually took me as a begging for food!"

The more Diao Xiaosi spoke, the more popular he became, and he waved his hand and said: "I had the intention to be Zhuge , but Li Mi is not the king of Wu." What King Wei, what Honghu, was born to give Wang Shichong, Yu Wenhua and the life of a watchdog. Let's not talk about it...... He walked his Yangguan Road, and I crossed my single-plank bridge. He is his Duke of Wei, I live my good life, and I don't know whose life will last!"

Bing Yuanzhen was scolded and stunned, where is this negotiation - he is holding a criticism meeting!

His face was blue and he laughed angrily: "Good scolding, scolding well! You pretended to be amazing, but you just wanted to sensationalize and attract the attention of King Wei." It's ridiculous that Li Yuanqian has poor donkey skills, and he actually sent a few dolls who don't know the depth to lobby King Wei. Hehe, the old man has been taught, farewell!" he got up and walked away angrily.

The eldest grandson Wuji crossed Erlang's legs and watched Bing Yuanzhen leave, and said with a smile: "Little fourth brother, Bing Yuanzhen seems to have seen through your radical method, and he must be angry at this time to go to Li Mi to report your evil situation." ”

Princess Jincheng said: "As long as he brings the words that Xiao Si just said to him, our plan will be half successful." ”

Diao Xiaosi yawned lazily and said, "Don't worry, this old guy will not only bring Lao Tzu's words to Li Mi as they are, but also help us pour oil on the fire for free." ”

Suddenly, Princess Jincheng glanced at the two of them, and said coldly: "I didn't expect that Li Mi's name was disappointing, and he actually sent a wine bag and rice bag to perfunctory us." Since he is not sincere, it is no longer necessary for us to continue to stay in Kim Yong City, so it is better to pack up and return to Chang'an immediately. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said bitterly: "Little fourth brother, didn't I say you, what kind of anger are you fighting with a bad old man who is half cut into the ground? It's good for you, three or two sentences made people Bing Yuanzhen angry and ran away, what face do you have to see Tang Guogong when you return to Chang'an?"

Diao Xiaosiwo said: "People are holding the emperor's edict and making an official and a wish, but Li Yuan is good, teach us to come to see Li Mi empty-handed." What is Lao Tzu's method, even if he draws a big cake out of thin air, someone has to believe it, right?"

The eldest grandson Wuji hung his head and said dejectedly: "That's it, I'll check out, you pack your luggage, let's go back to Chang'an today." ”

He got up listlessly and walked to the door, only to see two guests outside the house, it was Wang Shihui and Yuwen Zhiji.

The eldest grandson Wuji looked stunned, and said weakly: "Lord Wang, Lord Yuwen, why are you here?"

Yu Wenzhi and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, we stayed in the same inn and came to visit Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”

Princess Jincheng looked at Yuwen Zhiji with cold eyes, and said, "Your skin is not ordinarily thick. ”

Wang Shihui said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, many things are not as you think. In fact, Lord Yuwen also has unspeakable secrets, and has always hoped to have the opportunity to apologize to Her Royal Highness the princess in person. ”

Princess Jincheng sneered: "Chaotic ministers and thieves, sophistry, and shamelessness. ”

Yu Wenzhi smiled and said: "I forgot to tell Her Royal Highness the princess that the queen mother is all right and is returning west with the army." She misses you day and night, and ordered Weichen to inquire about the news of Her Royal Highness the princess, so that the mother and daughter can be reunited as soon as possible. ”

Princess Jincheng said: "Are you blackmailing?"

"Don't dare," Yu Wenzhi said with a bow, "It seems that Her Royal Highness the Princess has misunderstood us a lot." ”

Wang Shihun smiled and said, "It seems that Lord Yuwen and I are not popular. It was Bing Yuanzhen who left just now, and looking at his angry appearance, it seems that the meeting with you was very unpleasant. ”

Diao Xiaosi rolled his eyes and said, "The spring breeze blows a pool of water, what's your business?"

Wang Shihui was not angry, and said hesitantly: "Do you want to check out and check out, do you want the old man to hold a banquet to see him off?"

"Why don't you eat for nothing, don't eat for nothing, if you dare to put it, Lao Tzu will dare to eat!" Diao Xiaosi grinned: "Let's see you at the Crane Immortal Residence tonight." Okay, you're in for a treat. Whoever doesn't come is raised by a eunuch!"

Wang Shihui slowly narrowed his eyes and stared at Diao Xiaosi, and suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, a word is a deal!"
