Xue Shengjing smiled and said: "That's very good. Miss Huo is in Yongdu now. Mr. Hu might have a chance to meet her."
When Hu Xiaotian heard the news, he was really surprised and happy. He had cut off contact with Huo Xiaoru since Kang Du said goodbye. Originally, the two had made a one-year appointment and invited Huo Xiaoru to travel to Qingyun. Who would have thought that he would go to Qingyun?
There will be such earth-shaking changes in the future. Now that we meet again, I wonder if things are completely different from each other?
At this time Tie Zheng walked in, and Xue Shengjing said: "How is it? Have you found Mr. Liu?"
Tie Zheng said: "Mr. Liu suddenly fell ill. I just sent someone to report, but he can't come."
Xue Shengjing couldn't help but frown when he heard this, and murmured to himself: "How could it be such an unlucky thing? Is he seriously ill?"
Tie Zheng said: "It is said that the onset of illness is very serious and urgent."
Xue Shengjing stretched out his big hand and scratched his crotch again. As a prince, it was really indecent to always do such uncontrollable behavior in front of guests.
Hu Xiaotian looked on and wondered to himself, did something happen to Prince Yan on Xiasan Road? Otherwise, why would he want to see Mr. Liu from Shennongshe?
Tie Zheng said: "My lord, don't be impatient. In fact, we have more than one doctor in Yongdu, Liu Changsheng. He is inconvenient, so we can choose another famous doctor."
Xue Shengjing said: "Isn't it that he was fine yesterday, so why did he suddenly become ill today? Tie Zheng, please ask someone to check whether this old man Liu is really sick or fake." After saying that, he turned to Hu Xiaotian and asked again.
It turned into a smile on his face: "Master Hu, please take a seat quickly." Since Liu Changsheng was definitely not coming, there was no need for them to wait.
Hu Xiaotian sat down with Xue Shengjing, paying attention to his sitting posture. It was obviously a little unnatural. He had a preliminary estimate of Xue Shengjing's physical condition. There must be something wrong with this guy's lower body somewhere.
Xue Shengjing is a smiling tiger. He always behaves very politely. After drinking for three times, he finally couldn't hold it back and said with a grin: "Why are you here in Yongdu, Mr. Hu?"
Hu Xiaotian felt a little strange. The marriage between Dakang and Dayong was already a well-known event in Dakang, but after coming to Dayong, he found that it was completely different from the country. Even in Yongdu, which was the most well-informed, there was no such thing as a marriage.
If any trouble arises, Xue Shengjing, as King Yongyan of the Great Yong Dynasty, has revealed his identity as the remarriage history. Even if he did not say that he accompanied Princess Anping to get married, Xue Shengjing, a member of the royal family, should not know anything about this matter.
There must be something fishy, either Li Chenzhou and others deliberately concealed the fact that Princess Anping had arrived in Yongdu. Or Xue Shengjing was deliberately pretending to be stupid. In fact, Hu Xiaotian had become wary of Xue Shengjing, a fat man who seemed loyal and naive.
He used Yang Lingqi's landscape paintings as a stepping stone, and then revealed that there were other works by Yang Lingqi to whet his appetite. But after actually seeing these collections of Xue Shengjing, he realized that even though Yang Lingqi's calligraphy and painting were so excellent, they would not be included in such a rich collection of King Yan.
It can only be a drop in the ocean.
Hu Xiaotian then deduced that the stunning appearance shown by King Yan Xue Shengjing outside the door was probably a disguise, but he showed such courtesy to him. Logically speaking, his identity was not high enough for him to think highly of him. Hu Xiaotian became more and more
The more you think about it, the more wrong it is.
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I just said it. I am the remarriage history sent by Dakang."
Xue Shengjing looked like he suddenly realized something, and he laughed and said: "Look at my memory, you did just say that you had a history of sending people away for marriage? I wonder why?"
Hu Xiaotian could now almost conclude that Xue Shengjing was just pretending to be stupid. He did not point it out and said with a smile: "Have you ever heard of the marriage between Princess Dakang Anping and the seventh prince of your country?"
Xue Shengjing said: "I don't know much about this matter. I went out for a trip years ago and didn't come back until five days ago. Even my brother didn't have time to see me. Today is the first time I heard about Lao Qi and Princess Anping.
As for the wedding, I have to prepare a big gift." He picked up the golden bottle and clinked the glasses with Hu Xiaotian and said, "Master Hu must have had a very hard journey along the way, right?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "It's not hard work, the most important thing is to be able to escort the princess to get here safely."
Xue Shengjing said: "Master Hu came to see me for other matters?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "There is nothing else, just to fulfill my friend's instructions."
Xue Shengjing praised: "Master Hu promises a thousand pieces of gold, he is truly a trustworthy person!"
The two of them exchanged cups and talked with the utmost politeness. However, Hu Xiaotian never told the truth from beginning to end, because he saw that King Xue Shengjing of Yan was an extremely unrealistic person, and it was not easy to make friends with such a person.
Easy, but the main purpose of Hu Xiaotian's visit here is to get a taste of Xue Shengjing, the royal family of Dayong. Now seeing his behavior, he has concluded that Dayong pays far less attention to this marriage than Dakang.
It is simply impossible to expect that a long-term friendship between the two countries and an end to the war can be achieved through a marriage alliance.
Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but regret a little. If he had known that Xue Shengjing was such a cunning person, there would be no need for him to give Yang Lingqi's painting to him for nothing. It was not that he felt sorry for the painting, but that he felt that Xue Shengjing was definitely not the legendary figure in this world.
Meng Chang, this kind of person is not easy to get along with. Hu Xiaotian has never been a person who gives out easily. Although he saw that Xue Shengjing was a tough nut to crack, instead of being discouraged, he aroused the fighting spirit in his heart.
The reason why the mission did not receive the courtesy they deserved after arriving in Yongdu was certainly the deliberate neglect by Dayong, but it was also fundamentally due to the national strength of Dakang. The country is rich and the people are strong. This has been the truth since ancient times.
Although the history of Dayong cannot be compared with that of Dakang, and the country was founded only a hundred years ago, Dayong has been developing silently for more than a hundred years. It has undoubtedly surpassed Dakang in terms of national strength. One is declining, the other is rising, and Dakang is declining.
How can you gain the respect of other countries? If you want others to look at you differently, you have to make them fully aware of your strength. This is true for countries, and it is also true for individuals. If you want others to respect you, first, make them fear you, and second, make them
If you want something from you, the third is to use your charisma to influence the other person. Hu Xiaotian thought that he didn’t have that much charisma, and there was nothing that scared King Yan, so he could only think of ways to make the other person want something from him.
Using Yang Lingqi's landscape paintings obviously failed to achieve the goal. Hu Xiaotian glanced at Xue Shengjing and couldn't help but start grabbing his crotch again. Thinking of the conversation between him and Tie Zheng just now, he pretended to be concerned and asked: "Is the prince feeling a little unwell?"
Before Xue Shengjing could remove his hand from his crotch, he chuckled and said, "It's nothing, I am in very good health."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Actually, the reason why Xiaotian was valued by the emperor and entrusted with important tasks is because Xiaotian has some medical skills and has saved the emperor from danger twice."
Xue Shengjing was a little strange from the beginning. How could this young man gain the trust of Emperor Long Yelin of Dakang and entrust him with such an important matter as sending a bride? Hu Xiaotian's words exactly explained this doubt. But in
In this traditional society where modesty is a virtue, there are very few people like Hu Xiaotian who openly show off their abilities. Naturally, Xue Shengjing would not completely believe it. He smiled and said: "I didn't expect Mr. Hu to be a master of medicine. I admire him! I admire him.
!”
Hu Xiaotian said: "I'm not really a master, I'm just better than most imperial doctors."
Xue Shengjing felt embarrassed for this kid. He said you were fat and you were breathless. You were better than most imperial doctors? You looked like you didn’t even have your hair tied up. How dare you say such a thing shamelessly?
After Hu Xiaotian said this, he stopped lingering and stood up to leave. Xue Shengjing did not stay with him either.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Your Majesty, stay!"
Xue Shengjing had no intention of getting up at first, but after hearing what he said, he had more reason to sit on the Diaoyutai. He smiled and said: "Come on, Mr. Hu, Tie Zheng, help me see Mr. Hu off." As soon as he finished speaking, another
I felt a strange itching in my crotch, and I reached out to scratch it again.
Hu Xiaotian followed Tie Zheng out of the palace. Tie Zheng stopped in front of the gate, clasped his fists and said goodbye: "Master Hu, please go slowly, I will see you off soon." A manager of the palace was also full of arrogance.
Hu Xiaotian was not angry. He held Xiao Hui's hand and cupped his hands with a smile. Before he could go far, the two doors of Prince Yan's Mansion were closed behind him.
Zhan Peng's figure stepped out of the cherry blossom forest in front, faced Hu Xiaotian and said, "Sir, how is it? Did it go well?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Let's leave here first."
In the Foxiao Tower, King Yan Xue Shengjing had already asked people to hang the landscape painting given to him by Hu Xiaotian on the wall. He sat in front of the painting and admired it for a long time, and sighed softly: "It is a rare and good painting!
"
A thin blue-shirted Confucian scholar quietly appeared behind him. Although Xue Shengjing did not look back, he seemed to have clearly seen his arrival: "What do you think, Mr. Ma?" This Confucian scholar was Xue Shengjing's chief aide Ma.
Qingyun.
Ma Qingyun complimented: "When it comes to the appreciation of calligraphy and painting, no one in the world can compare with you, the prince."
Xue Shengjing narrowed his small eyes: "The Dakang envoy arrived in Yongdu yesterday, and today the marriage history came to see me at home and gave me a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation. What does Mr. Ma think?"
Ma Qingyun said: "This Hu Xiaotian must have something he wants."
Xue Shengjing laughed loudly: "This kid is quite a character. He is so young and so calm. He never revealed his true purpose from beginning to end."
Ma Qingyun said: "There was some unhappiness when the Dakang delegation arrived in Yongdu yesterday. Li Chenzhou arranged for them to enter through the side door. Princess Anping refused and insisted on walking through the gate. Now the delegation is arranged to stay temporarily in Qichen Palace.
, According to the information we have, there is currently no reaction from the royal family. It must be that the Dakang mission is a little anxious and feels that it has been treated coldly, so it is eager to have a member of the royal family report the matter to the emperor and ask him clearly.
