Xu Shanxin stood on the boat and watched the mountains on both sides recede relative to each other. Although the boat was sailing against the current, it was a tailwind of good luck, so the boat opened its sails and moved so fast that no one could feel that it was going against the current.
Looking to both sides, Xu Shanxin only felt at ease. The vast green mountains came into view, which was a scenery Xu Shanxin could not find in the south of the Yangtze River.
Of course, what's more important is that the navy ship that once "protected" the honor guard fleet did not continue to follow it after passing Dianjiang County, Hezhou, because King Gu Ye who came to greet him wanted to leave the last bit for the court after all.
In order to save face, Wang Chang led his troops to retreat.
Wang Chang also knew that he could not go too far and had no objection to this.
"Xu Jun is really in a good mood," King Gu Ye said with a smile, and walked quickly onto the boat building, "The scenery in Bashu is wonderful, but it's a pity that you can't have a panoramic view of all the scenery in one place.
All the beauty is on this road.”
Xu Shanxin whispered: "There are beautiful scenery to enjoy along the way, so it won't make the journey too boring, which is a good thing."
King Gu Ye smiled: "We will arrive at Shu County in more than half a day. It must be your first time to come to Bashu, right?"
Of course Xu Shanxin knew that King Gu Ye was looking for something to say, otherwise he would not have asked such a boring question. Xu Shanxin had never been out of Jiangnan since he was born, so how could he have been to Bashu? At the moment, he could only nod and said: "Yes.
, the scenery of Bashu is unique in the world. I didn’t believe it before, but now that I see it, I can only say that what I said is true.”
King Gu Ye nodded slightly: "Yes, Bashu is one of the few places in the world that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and can be retreated or advanced. If Xu Jun is willing, after this matter is over, I will accompany Xu Jun to visit this beautiful place in Bashu.
How about a spin?”
"It's over here..." Xu Shanxin sighed softly.
Is this matter settled so easily?
King Gu Ye was keenly aware of Xu Shanxin's thoughts, and his tone gradually became lowered: "Xu Jun, General Zhenxi is in charge of Bashu, so he can naturally ensure that Bashu is worry-free. What are you feeling and worrying about, Mr. Xu?"
Xu Shanxin snorted coldly in his heart, Li Xingchen was in charge of Bashu, and Bashu was not the land of Nanchen. However, of course he would not show such emotion, so he could only prevaricate: "There is no big thing here, but this junior needs to be anxious.
When I return to the capital to report back to His Majesty, I’m afraid I won’t have many opportunities to go sightseeing with the old gentleman.”
King Gu Ye smiled and said: "To be honest, your majesty asked Jun Xu to come out to announce the decree, and naturally he also wanted to let Xu Jun contact your majesty and General Zhenxi. If Jun Xu can stay in Bashu to deliver the news to General Zhenxi, your majesty must be very willing.
When Xu Jun wants to visit the mountains and rivers of Bashu, won't it be easy?"
Xu Shanxin was stunned for a moment. He only said that King Gu Ye wanted to take this opportunity to test his attitude towards Bashu and Li Xinchen. He did not expect that King Gu Ye wanted him to stay as Nanchen's envoy.
Thinking of this, Xu Shanxin felt a little helpless. The envoys sent did not look like the people sent by the imperial court to the border generals. Instead, they should be sent to the enemy's country. Those sent to their own generals should be called supervisors.
Of course, now Li Xingchen only admits that he is a minister of Nanchen on the surface. In fact, Bashu's various dispatches and policies have been completely disconnected from Nanchen.
Therefore, there seems to be no problem for Xu Shanxin to appear in Shu County as the "Nanchen Envoy".
It's just that... Xu Shanxin didn't know whether this was just Gu Yewang's wishful thinking or whim, or Li Xinchen's intention, let alone how much Li Xinchen and Chen Xu wanted to communicate, but Xu Shanxin still knew that such
It is still necessary to have a person in the middle to deliver the message.
At least there won't be the current situation between Chen Xu and Li Xinchen testing each other.
"This is a good suggestion," Xu Shanxin smiled, "It seems that I need to think about it carefully."
Gu Yewang knew that Xu Shanxin would definitely not be able to give him an accurate answer today, but he did not expect Xu Shanxin to make a decision directly. This was actually a test by Gu Yewang, and he wanted to take this opportunity.
Know Nan Chen’s true attitude towards Li Xinchen.
If Xu Shanxin doesn't want to consider this issue at all, it means that Nan Chen is already preparing to break up the relationship, so there is no need to arrange an envoy. However, Xu Shanxin is also considering this issue at least now, which is not a bad thing for Li Xingchen at least.
Although King Gu Ye has not held any high-power positions, King Gu Ye knows very well what Li Xingchen wants to do. Now that he is on Li Xingchen's pirate ship, King Gu Ye can only do his best to help.
Li Xingchen maintained this fragile balance.
Xu Shanxin turned his head slightly and looked at Gu Yewang. At this moment, he suddenly became more curious about Li Xingchen. What kind of young man was he?
Even Nanchen veterans like Gu Yewang were willing to take the initiative to help Li Xinchen stand up.
At this time, Xu Shanxin thought about the suggestion that Pei Yun had put forward at Pei Ji's house, and suddenly felt helpless. At that time, he thought that Pei Yun's strategy might have some feasibility, but now it seems that it is a bit wishful thinking.
At least until now, Xu Shanxin has not met the other core officials in Li Xinchen's system except Gu Yewang who came specially to greet him, which shows that Li Xinchen is somewhat wary of him. And even this Gu Yewang
, and he was not the amiable old man in Xu Shanxin's impression. King Gu Ye seemed to be a different person. For the first time, Xu Shanxin, who had always treated him respectfully with the etiquette of a junior, felt in danger.
A feeling of danger from an enemy that is difficult to deal with.
This trip, I really walked into a dragnet.
——————————————
The wind blew the tent, and the gauze rose and fell.
A ray of morning light fell through the gauze on her pretty face. Li Xingchen opened her eyes and was about to sit up and prepare to wash up. However, she found an arm pressing on her chest. In addition to the arm, there was also a small head pressing on the shoulder.
A head of jet-black hair spreads over Li Xingchen's chest and shoulders.
At this time, Li Xingchen came to his senses in a trance. He had tormented Xiao Xiang a lot last night, and now Xiao Xiang, who always likes to get up early, can't get up either.
As if sensing Li Xinchen's movement, Xiao Xiang opened his eyes in a daze, and met Li Xinchen's gaze. Li Xinchen laughed softly. Xiao Xiang immediately shyly shrank into Li Xinchen's arms, and at the same time reached out to poke him.
He poked Li Xinchen: "Smile, you are still laughing, and you still think that I did it yesterday..."
"What happened yesterday?" Li Xingchen's voice became more ambiguous.
Xiao Xiang couldn't continue to speak. He snorted softly and huddled in Li Xingchen's arms: "My husband knows how to bully me."
