When talking about Tianhai, Shen Tang thinks of Wu Xian.
The truth is just as she guessed...
"Wu Xian came to ask for Zhao Feng from me? He's not so stingy, is he? His close confidant has not been wronged by me..." Shen Tang said the most shameless words with the most innocent face, and finally sighed and waved, " Bring someone here..."
The messenger from Tianhai was led to the simple reception hall.
It is said to be the main hall for guests, but it is actually the place where Shen Tang works every day. There are no decorations to decorate the facade. There are just piles of letters and official documents. She was poor to begin with, and Wu Xian also knew that she was poor. It is necessary to pretend to be fat.
"What is the name of the messenger?"
The envoy sent by Wu Xian is a man with an unremarkable appearance. He looks about thirty years old. He is wearing a Confucian shirt. He has an elegant temperament and a weak appearance. He wears a small leather crown with dark patterns carved on his head. Although he is not strong. , but it doesn’t make people feel weak.
"Tian Hai Xu Jie, written in the text, met Mr. Shen."
This person had obviously done his homework before coming here.
Seeing that Shen Tang was not tall, young in appearance, and beautiful in appearance, he was not surprised at all, nor did he show any arrogance or arrogance. On the contrary, his posture was respectful and cautious, and he completely regarded Shen Tang as a person on the same level as the protagonist Wu Xian. treat.
Xu Jie?
Xu Wen’s note?
Never heard of it at all.
He had not been seen in the Allied tent before.
Shen Tang did not exchange pleasantries and went straight to the point: "I wonder what Brother Wu sent you here for? But what does Brother Wu have over there?"
Xu Jie said with a smile: "My master ordered me to come here to congratulate Lord Shen on the new year. I specially sent you New Year's greetings and invited Lord Shen to take a look."
He took out a letter sealed with wax.
Needless to say, this is Wu Xian’s New Year’s greeting letter.
The servant took the letter and handed it to Shen Tang.
Shen Tang's ears hidden under her temples were slightly red.
Embarrassed.
Completely forgot about this incident.
According to common sense, she should also send New Year greetings and some souvenirs to her former allies in the Allied Forces who had "friendship". The price is not important, what is important is this "heart" - by the way, tell the other party that she still has Think about them.
_(:з)∠?)_
While Shen Tang took the knife and carefully unwrapped the paint, he said with a slightly embarrassed smile: "It's my fault. I should be the one sending people to pay New Year's greetings to Brother Wu. It's just that He Yin's illness is common and it doesn't matter when he's busy. I have forgotten that when the envoy returns, I will trouble the envoy to apologize to Brother Wu for me..."
Xu Jie was slightly surprised.
He didn't expect Shen Tang to admit it so readily.
According to normal logic, we should just quibble and make amends, right?
Such magnanimity made Xu Jiegao look twice.
He said: "It doesn't matter. My master told me about this before he ordered me to come to Heyin. I guessed that Lord Shen would be entangled in Heyin's secular affairs. In addition, there were not many people available in his tent. I'm afraid he would have no time to separate himself." Not to mention taking care of these trivial human matters."
Xu Jie also inquired before coming to see Shen Tang.
The office did not stop working for a day.
There is no closed holiday even for New Year’s Eve.
Xu Jie didn't believe it at first.
When he came over, he saw piles of letters next to Shen Tang. The office environment was shabby, even a pot of charcoal fire was stingy in the winter, and the clothes were simple. There was no trace of the appearance that a powerful lord should have, which made Xu Jie feel a little embarrassed. Share a favorable impression.
Shen Tang said hurriedly and shyly: "Messenger, don't say any more. Brother Wu has helped me a lot, how can things related to him be ordinary 'human affairs'? Hey, if there is a chance, I will go to Tianhai in person to tell Wu I apologize..."
Xu Jie just responded with a smile.
Everyone knows that Shen Tang's words are just for the occasion.
She is not Wu Xian's vassal, nor does she rely on Wu Xian's financial support. Although the two families are very different in power, in terms of status, Shen Tang and Wu Xian are equal. The so-called "go to Tianhai in person to apologize to Brother Wu" and so on If so, just listen.
It's really not necessary.
Shen Tang opened Wu Xian's letter.
The first half of the letter is filled with simple chatter.
Shen Tang read it carefully word for word, and felt a little guilty - after all, she secretly followed Gu Ren to "backstab" Wu Xian. He Yin originally thought it was a good idea, but she borrowed Gu Ren's hand and asked Zheng Qiao to name her "Justified" The governor of Heyin County.
Wu Xian didn't write her down in his notebook, and even sent someone to send her New Year's greetings, which made Shen Tang blush.
After chatting about home affairs, he asked about Zhao Feng's current situation.
By coincidence, Xu Jie also asked about Zhao Feng.
Shen Tang: "..."
How should she answer?
One of Wu Xian's precious six generals was commanded by him to demolish houses, move bricks, and plow land? If this guy knew that his precious eyes were treated like this, I don't know how distressed he would be. Shen Tang had to avoid the most important things and take the easy way out. answer.
Zhao Feng is very good. He eats well, drinks well and sleeps well.
Xu Jie smiled slightly and said very gently and politely that he and Zhao Feng were colleagues and had a good relationship in private. Therefore, before he left Tianhai, he also received a commission from Zhao Feng's family - his wife asked him to deliver some clothes and shoes to Zhao. Bong.
"Look at the time. General Zhao should be busy outside the city at the moment. He will probably come back after noon. Does the envoy have to wait for a while, or should I send someone to take you over to look for him?"
Shen Tang couldn't help but murmur in her heart - Wu Xian didn't really suspect that she was holding someone captive, right? Zhao Feng waited for Zuo Geng for 12 and 12, and took all his private parts with him. How could he hold him back if he wanted to leave? We are still gentle and considerate, and will do no harm to the end.
"Don't worry, I've been bothering you for the past two days."
Shen Tang continued to mutter in his heart.
Good guy, do you want to stay for inspection?
Not only could they not object, but they also had to welcome him with a smile, arrange for Xu Xie's residence, and get a "tour guide".
After much thought, Shen Tang entrusted the important task to Gu Chi. Looking at the entire Fugu City, no one was more suitable than him.
"Trouble watching the tide to find out Xu Jie's true purpose." Shen Tang tiptoed and patted Gu Chi on the shoulder, "There is a long way to go!"
The good thing about everyone being alone is that they don’t have to take annual leave to work overtime during the New Year. Anyway, they only have a pair of bowls and chopsticks when they go home. It’s so lonely and cold. Only work can make people forget their sorrow and loneliness. Shen Tang did not feel guilty at all in arranging it.
"Lord, do you suspect that this person has other motives?"
Shen Tang said: "I offended Wu Xian last time. It's impossible to say that Wu Xian has no grudges at all, right? Wu Xian's character is not bad, but Qin Li beside him has been stamped by Yuan Liang." If you are not a kind person, I will naturally be worried."
Gu Chi: "..."
This is probably the crow laughing at the pig.
Does praying for good deeds make you a "kind person"?
However, entertaining Xu Jie?
He is willing.
Who is Xu Jie?
As the lord, Shen Tang doesn't know, but as an aide, he must find out the situation of nearby forces. Xu Jie is naturally one of the intelligence targets. Xu Jie was born in the Xu family of Tianhai, and is the eldest son of the Xu family, and the Xu family...
Let’s put it this way——
The wealth of the Fu Gu family of seven local snakes over the years is not enough for the whole family. The Xu family is not the most powerful in Tianhai, but it is definitely the richest. The family has a wide range of business operations, and there are many "transnational" businesses, which are owned by Wu Xian's influence. "Big fortune".
------Digression-----
(?ω?)
After I finished writing, I suddenly remembered...
If Xu Jie calls himself, it would be "what is the solution"...
It seems to be as advantageous as Captain Yang's "Yang Gong" name.
PS:_(:з)∠?)_, let me ask, do you guys still have monthly passes?
