It was already getting late when Xu Qing returned to the camp. At this time, he was in the capital of Zhao State. It was not suitable for Xu Qing to get too close to the Long family. After all, he now had the power to overthrow the capital of Zhao State.
It would be bad if the idiot emperor of Zhao who was close to the Long family thought that the Long family was conspiring to rebel with the Chu State.
The Emperor of Zhao had never been tough in front of other countries in his life, but he was extremely ruthless when it came to dealing with his own people.
He couldn't deal with Xu Qing, but he could still deal with the Long family.
Unless Xu Qing really wants to change the dynasty now, otherwise it is not appropriate to go to Long's house every day.
Even if the emperor is not taken into account, the current male master of the Long family is not here, and there are only two women, Long Bing'er and Long Bing'er's mother. It is not in line with the etiquette of the Zhao country for a grown man like him to go to the Long family every day.
After Xu Qing returned to the camp, Eunuch Bai was still standing at the gate of the camp. He stood from noon to dark. He was indeed the eunuch who was the best at serving others. How could he still hold on?
Xu Qing looked at Eunuch Bai and asked: "My father-in-law is not serving His Majesty the Emperor of your country in the palace, why did you come to me?"
When Eunuch Bai saw Xu Qing, he immediately smiled and said, "Master Hou, I was a servant and ignorant before. Now Your Majesty invites Master Hou to the palace to attend the dust-cleansing banquet. I wonder if Master Hou can honor you?"
Xu Qing said lightly: "No!"
When Eunuch Bai heard Xu Qing's words, his face suddenly froze and became very embarrassed: "Master Marquis, Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time..."
Xu Qing said, "I am here for the first time. I am very busy with official duties. There are still other matters in the camp that need to be arranged. I don't have time to attend a dust-cleansing banquet. Please come back, father-in-law."
Eunuch Bai smiled and said, "It's hard for me to do business when I go back. Please don't embarrass me."
Xu Qing snorted coldly and said, "Did I give you a hard time? Is it more important for me, the one hundred thousand troops of Chu State, or for your mere dust-washing banquet? If something happens in our Chu Army camp, you can take the responsibility."
?”
After saying that, Xu Qing rolled up his sleeves and returned to the camp.
Only Eunuch Bai was left with a helpless look on his face.
At this moment, being a eunuch is the most difficult thing to do.
It was the emperor's order not to report the incident, but the first person to be taken out to block the gun after something happened was the eunuch.
If a minister made a mistake, the emperor would have to consider the minister's family power. If the minister's power was too great, the emperor would also be wary of it.
But eunuchs are different. Even if eunuchs have extraordinary abilities, their power comes from the emperor. The emperor can take it back at any time, or even discard it.
He can only be the emperor's loyal dog for the rest of his life. The emperor can use it if he wants to, and if he doesn't want to use it, he will be killed and replaced with another one.
At this moment, the emperor gave Eunuch Bai a death order. He must try his best to appease Xu Qing and invite Xu Qing to come to the dust-cleansing banquet. Eunuch Bai had no choice.
But at the moment, there is really nothing we can do about this situation.
If this was in Chu State, it would be easier to deal with it. Just go to an acquaintance and give him a gift and ask them to help persuade you.
But Zhao is an unfamiliar place, where can I find acquaintances?!
Seeing the soldiers of the Chu State blasting them away from here, Eunuch Bai, who had been by His Majesty's side for decades, finally began to panic.
If he is in front of an official of Zhao State, whether he is a high-ranking official or a general of Zhu State, he has to be polite to him. He can not give face to whomever he wants, but after that, that person has to be kind and considerate.
.
But now he is from the Chu State. He, the person closest to the emperor, is just a eunuch in the eyes of the Chu State people. He has no status blessing, but has a negative bonus.
But you can’t come over without inviting me. Your Majesty is also hosting a dust-washing banquet.
This Marquis Xu has been waiting for His Majesty all afternoon, and the dishes for the dust-washing banquet have been changed five times. No matter what, we have to invite people.
After being blasted out by Chu's armored soldiers, the little eunuch beside Eunuch Bai said: "Godfather, at noon today, this Marquis Xu came to the palace with General Long's daughter, Xiaowei Long, to meet His Majesty. Maybe Godfather can
Please ask Lieutenant Long to persuade Mr. Xu, I think there will be very good results."
When Eunuch Bai heard this, he nodded and said, "Well, that's the only way."
There is really no other way to deal with such a difficult task.
In the capital
Eunuch Bai knocked on Longfu's door.
After the concierge made the announcement, he invited Eunuch Bai to the lobby.
Long Bing'er walked into the lobby, looked at Eunuch Bai, and asked, "Why did Eunuch Bai come to see our captain?"
Eunuch Bai quickly stood up and begged: "Captain Long, please save our family's life!"
Long Bing'er said calmly: "Eunuch Bai, you might as well just tell me if you have something to do."
Eunuch Bai burst into tears and said, "Your Majesty invited Mr. Xu to attend the dust-washing banquet. Since noon, the dishes at the dust-washing banquet have been changed five times. However, the marquis excused himself because he was busy with official duties. He was in the palace at the beginning.
It’s because our family is too blind to see Mount Tai, so we hope Captain Long can help us. If the Marquis doesn’t go, our family’s life may be in danger!”
When it comes to the matter of Eunuch Bai Fu, Long Bing'er really doesn't want to take care of it. If Eunuch Bai didn't inform them at the beginning, Xu Qing wouldn't have done such a thing.
Now it is irreversible. Now that she thinks of asking for help everywhere, Long Bing'er really wants to say goodbye.
At this moment, Liu Rou walked in and said, "Bing'er, since Eunuch Bai is here in person, you can go if you need to. It's all for Zhao Guo."
Although Long Bing'er felt unhappy when her mother said this, she had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Then Liu Rou said again: "Eunuch Bai, it's not rude to come to ask for help. You should prepare more gifts. Don't be afraid of light gifts at this time."
After all, Eunuch Bai came here to serve people. Naturally, he knew this and had already prepared heavy gifts. However, he still nodded and bowed and said, "Thank you, Mrs. Long, for your advice. We will take note of it."
Liu Ju said: "Then let Bing'er change clothes and go with father-in-law."
Eunuch Bai quickly said: "Yes, Mrs. Long please"
Back in the boudoir, Long Bing'er looked at Liu Rou and said dissatisfiedly: "Mom, it was Bai Fu, the eunuch, who blocked my daughter and Xu Qing from going out. Why did you still speak for him?"
Liu Judao: "He is a person close to His Majesty. Now when he comes to beg us, if we are polite, he owes us a favor. If there is any difficulty in our Long family, there will eventually be a way out. You and you
My father often goes straight on the battlefield, so he doesn't understand the twists and turns in the world. Quickly change your clothes and say it as if you really don't want to go to the Chu State Military Camp to take a look."
Long Bing'er suddenly blushed: "Mom...what are you talking about?"
Liu Rou took out a new dress from the closet and stuffed it into Long Bing'er's hands: "You know what mother is talking about."
