He looked back at the farm that looked like a castle. In the dusk, the towering gatehouse and the whistles at the four corners of the wall seemed to be covered with a mysterious black veil.
Is this an ordinary farm?
This should be where Xiao Xian's five thousand personal soldiers are located. From this look, it is probably far more than five thousand.
In the suburbs of Beijing, there are tens of thousands of elites dormant, who might one day threaten the royal authority.
Xiao Che's heart was heavy. His father really trusted Xiao Xian, and Xiao Xian was really not afraid of being suspected.
The most important thing is Shen Mingzhu. Whenever he thinks of Shen Mingzhu, Xiao Che feels like a lump in his throat.
Shen Mingzhu has become a thorn in his heart. It hurts when he touches it. He can't pull it out even if he wants to, but he doesn't dare to push it in, so he is stuck like this.
Unless he gets Shen Mingzhu and Shen Mingzhu falls in love with him, this thorn will be completely eliminated and directly transformed into a sweet seed, which can blossom and bear fruit without taking root and sprouting.
Xiao Run observed the words and said tentatively: "Brother, that Shen Mingzhu went too far. He didn't say anything to Mrs. Liu and Miss Shen San, and then he treated us like this. It's really rude."
After saying that, he observed Xiao Che's expression to see if there was any change in Xiao Che's expression.
Xiao Che, however, had a stern face, showing nothing unusual, and snorted, "Fortunately, I broke off the engagement long ago, otherwise wouldn't I be completely implicated by her?"
Although he was thinking about Shen Mingzhu, the man's self-esteem and the prince's pride did not allow him to say it, nor did he allow others to know.
Especially my own brother.
Xiao Runyi was not sure whether Xiao Che loved Shen Mingzhu or not, and it was difficult to make a conclusion. He could only test it later.
A few days later, Shen Mingzhu returned to Kyoto with Xiao Xian and Xiao Wen.
After returning to Kyoto, Shen Mingzhu did not go to see the emperor first, but went directly to the Foreign Affairs Office.
The foreign embassy was originally called Fanfang, and sometimes it was called Barbarian Residence. Later, those foreigners protested, saying that it was meant to look down upon them.
So later it was directly changed to a foreign mission, also called a foreign embassy. Anyway, all foreign envoys and matters can be resolved there.
Originally the foreign embassy was not very big, but as more barbarian tribes came to congratulate it, it became bigger and bigger. Because those big ones who frequented the embassy had to have their own courtyard dedicated to the foreign embassy and not share it with others. This also showed respect.
.
Now the world is divided into four parts, the Kingdom of Jin in the north, the Kingdom of Qin in the middle, the Kingdom of Yue in the south, and the Kingdom of Chen in the west.
It's just that the Chen State was destroyed by the Three Kingdoms almost twenty years ago, and many of Chen State's iron ore, silver mines, etc. were divided up. Today, the Chen State is just a puppet court jointly controlled by the Three Kingdoms.
Therefore, the Kingdom of Jin was the largest, the Kingdom of Yue was the second, and the foreign embassy of Chen Kingdom was no longer independent.
Originally, Shen Mingzhu wanted to go alone, but Xiao Xian was worried and insisted on accompanying her.
After all, Yeluen is a cunning enemy. If he knew that the Pearl was important, who knows if he would have any evil thoughts.
So Xiao Xian almost wanted to come, and Shen Mingzhu couldn't refuse. She also felt that Xiao Xian, the dignified King of Yan, seemed a bit overqualified when he came here.
She pursed her lips and smiled, and whispered: "Your Majesty, you don't have to say anything later, just a few words of greeting. I will take care of everything."
Xiao Xian nodded slightly and glanced at her, "That's it."
