Li Xun looked at the envoy named Sun who fell on the ground, walked out, and happened to meet the deputy envoy of Zhou who came out of the room.
The deputy envoy of Zhou State looked at Li Xun who was unharmed and said in surprise: "Sixth Prince, why are you..."
Li Xun noticed the reaction of Zhou's deputy envoy Yang Zhou, and a fierce flash flashed in his eyes. It turned out that he was also one of the executors.
I and my sister stayed on their own terms, tolerated everything, and accepted the situation. Unexpectedly, what they got in exchange was to become political playthings!
Li Xun looked at Yang Zhou and asked, "How is this king?"
The deputy envoy of the State of Zhou suddenly felt nervous when he saw the intact Li Xun. Li Xun was fine. Then Sun Cheng...
The deputy envoy of Zhou State suppressed the shock in his heart and asked carefully: "I just sent Sun Cheng to deliver tea to the sixth prince. Why didn't you see Sun Cheng?"
Li Xun said in a calm voice: "Deputy envoy Yang Zhou, recognize your identity clearly. You should call yourself a minister or a subordinate in front of the prince and the envoy of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
For some reason, Yang Zhou felt cold in his heart when he heard this plain voice but didn't come.
These days, he has never cared about Li Xun's status as an envoy, because he was just an unpopular prince, and he ended up just being a victim.
Li Xun also behaved very humbly and did not use his status as an official to overwhelm others, but I guess it was because he was used to being submissive in the palace.
But today, he seems to be a different person, cold, domineering, but also reasonable!
Yang Zhou suppressed the anger in his heart and reluctantly held up his hands and said: "Just... I dare you to ask Sun Cheng..."
Li Xun glanced at him and said: "The envoy Sun Cheng intended to assassinate my king, but I found out and rectified the crime on the spot."
The deputy envoy of Zhou State was surprised.
Rectify the law on the spot!
It was rumored that the Sixth Prince and Princess Mingyue were weak and were often bullied by other princes and princesses in the palace. How could a weak prince defeat Sun Cheng, who was proficient in martial arts?!
And he also rectified it on the spot?!
Could it be that he already knows His Majesty's plan?
Thinking of this, Yang Zhou cautiously asked: "Sun Cheng has always adhered to his duty, why did he want to assassinate the envoy?"
Li Xun was silent for a moment before speaking: "I don't know this, so you should immediately summon everyone in the envoy who has contact with Sun Cheng and investigate them strictly!"
It turned out that he didn't know yet. Thinking of this, Yang Zhou suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. He endured the anger of being yelled at by this concubine prince and said, "Yes."
At this moment, a group of armored warriors suddenly broke into the courtyard. The leader's heart suddenly relaxed after seeing that Li Xun was fine.
The deputy envoy of the State of Zhou looked at the group of armored warriors and said, "You soldiers of the State of Chu actually broke into the envoy's residence?!"
The leader said: "Princess Mingyue was assassinated by an assassin just now on the street. The county magistrate of Anding prevented the envoy from having any assassins again, so he specially sent this commander to protect the envoy."
Li Xun couldn't help but take a step forward and asked anxiously: "How is Princess Mingyue? Is she injured?"
The commander of the Chu State said: "Don't worry, sir. Those assassins have been executed by the Anding County Bodhisattva and his wife. Princess Mingyue was not injured, but was slightly frightened. For the princess's safety, the Anding County Bodhisattva has invited the princess to take refuge in the Anding Bo's Mansion."
.”
Hearing this, Li Xun breathed a sigh of relief. The Anding county uncle and his wife saved his sister.
Both myself and my sister owe the uncle Anding a huge favor today.
When the deputy envoy of Zhou State heard what the leader of Chu State said, his heart went cold. Both assassinations failed. By then, both Li Xun and Chu State would have to take strict precautions. How could they get another chance?
If no excuse for war has been found, what is the point of this mission?
Thinking of this, the deputy envoy of the Zhou Kingdom suddenly became angry and said: "My envoy from the Great Zhou Dynasty was assassinated in your territory of Chu. I will report to the emperor of your country at a meeting tomorrow morning! Seek justice for my envoy!"
Anding Bofu
kitchen door
Long Bing'er leaned against the door frame and looked at Xu Qing who was busy in the kitchen and said: "When the assassin stabbed Li Mingyue, there were clearly at least two more reliable ways to help Li Mingyue avoid the stab. Why did you have to choose to use your bare hands?"
Holding a sword?"
Xu Qing stopped, thought for a moment and said, "Don't you think this is cool?"
Long Bing'er rolled her eyes at him: "Poor talker!"
Xu Qing continued: "Anyway, you will be done with your work at that time. Even if I can't handle it, you can come over and help me."
Long Bing'er snorted and said, "By the way, how can you break a poisonous sword with your meager internal strength?"
Xu Qing turned around and looked at Long Bing'er: "What? Are you saying I'm weak in disguise?"
Long Bing'er: "I'm stating the facts."
Xu Qing said: "I don't know. I just concentrated my inner strength on my hand and tried to pull the sword away from Princess Mingyue. As a result, it broke as soon as I broke it off... Who knew that the sword was actually very hard to hold?
So crisp..."
Long Bing'er seemed to have thought of something again, and continued: "By the way, there is you..."
Xu Qing immediately interrupted Long Bing'er and said, "Are you free? If you are free, come over and help me wash the vegetables and chops. My hands won't get wet these days."
Xu Qing couldn't let Long Bing'er talk any longer. If he continued talking, he would get nowhere.
I really didn’t expect that this cute silly girl is still a problem baby.
Long Bing'er said while washing the vegetables: "Do you think it is possible that when the assassin bathed the sword in fire to quench the poison, the sword became hard and brittle due to improper handling?"
Xu Qing thought for a moment and said, "You are right."
Long Bing'er: "..."
Although he agreed with his guess, what was this feeling of wanting to beat him up?
Not long after
Su Qian walked in and said: "My husband hurt his hand, please go outside to rest first, and leave the cooking to me."
Xu Qing shook his head and said: "The skin injury is nothing serious. Madam, the princess and Xue'er will sit outside for a while. The meal will be ready soon."
Su Qian couldn't argue, so she looked at Long Bing'er who had washed and cut the vegetables and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Long."
Long Bing'er put the last cut cucumber on the plate, looked at Su Qian and said, "How about we compete again this afternoon?"
Su Qian was startled when she heard Long Bing'er's words, then nodded and said, "Of course."
Long Bing'er suddenly thought of something at this time, blushed and said: "You can't use weapons."
…
About half an hour
Xu Qing and Long Bing'er each took out a tray and brought out the food.
At this time, Magistrate Su, who had been relieved of his duties, returned home.
Today, Su Jiyuan is still in the Anding County Government and has not yet arrived in Jingzhao Mansion. Generally, after a promotion, he will have two or three months of leave, and Su Jiyuan uses these holidays to arrange the follow-up matters of the County Government in every detail.
, feel free to be lazy for a few more days.
Those who are close to red are red, and those who are close to ink are black. Since there was such a son-in-law in the family, he began to become lazy.
Now that the affairs of the county government have been almost handed over, he is very free at the county government.
Su Jiyuan looked at Long Bing'er and then at Li Mingyue, why is there another one today?
Xu Qing saw Magistrate Su and said, "My father-in-law is back, hurry up..."
