Yunzhu was left in Yuejing City to reunite with her family. If she wanted to come back, she could.
As soon as he returned to Baifeng City, he saw a carriage parked at the door of the mansion, and Uncle Hang was talking impatiently to Jing Hongjian, who was standing in front of the door and was dressed in rich clothes.
Wave.
When the servant next to him reminded him, he immediately looked over and walked down the steps to greet him.
Jing Hongjian also followed, and saluted Xiao Muting who was getting off the horse very attentively. At the same time, his eyes wandered among the crowd, looking very frivolous.
Xiao Muting jumped off his horse, walked over with his hands behind his back, pointed at him and said rudely: "Why are you here? I should have made it very clear. You are not allowed to appear in front of me without being summoned by me. Are you listening to me?"
Don’t you understand human language?”
Jing Hongjian immediately smiled flatteringly and said: "Your Highness, King Chen, you see, our delegation members have been coming to your place for a long time. I also know that His Highness is a busy man, but he has been busy for more than a month.
Now that you have finished all the big things, can you sit down with us and talk about matters between the two countries?"
Xiao Muting looked at him sideways: "What is the matter between the two countries that King Zhu mentioned? I have never had any political dealings with Long'an State. Even if your country has this intention, you should go to the capital of Saint Qin to meet with
Your Majesty, please tell me that I am just a local vassal king, but I do not have this right. If King Zhu wants to enter the capital, I can issue an ultimatum to your envoy."
Jing Hongjian shook his head and said: "His Royal Highness, King Chen, did you have a misunderstanding? The mission led by this king came to your country just to discuss with His Highness King Chen about the salt transportation between the two countries. There is no need to go to the Kyoto of the Holy Qin Dynasty.
, as long as His Highness King Chen is willing to let me go."
"Salt transport?" Xiao Muting snorted coldly: "It seems that King Xu is not familiar with the political affairs of the two countries. It may be that before the mission, the monarch of your country did not explain to you about the business and trade between the two countries.
They all belong to the government affairs of the two countries, and the two countries need to negotiate before the trade can be opened. However, as far as I know, the trade between Shengqin and Long'an has been opened for a long time, and has never been interrupted. I don't know whether King Gu
What we came here to discuss is why, you said it’s about salt transportation, but that’s not possible, the salt transportation trade is running, what’s wrong, is there too much salt going to your country, and you can’t sell it?”
Jing Hongjian was still a little tender, and he became a little angry after being teased by Xiao Muting's few harmless words of ridicule. The smile that originally hung on his face no longer existed. When he looked at Xiao Muting,
There is also a little bit of anger.
"Your Highness, King Chen, what do you mean by this? Long'an Kingdom is currently suffering from a salt shortage, but on the other hand, the Holy Qin territory has a sufficient supply of salt. This has to make people doubt that this was done intentionally by you." He said in a strong tone.
Xiao Muting laughed and said: "King Xu is really smart. I dare to ask where your country's salt comes from."
"Of course most of the people who entered Long'an relied on foreign trade, and the main supplier was Sheng Qin." Jing Hongjian was quite confident.
Xiao Muting snorted contemptuously again and shook his head slightly: "When you ask for help, you must have a begging attitude. This is the first time I saw someone asking for help. I was still so arrogant. Now that I know it is the salt provided by Sheng Qin,
Nowadays, there is a shortage of salt all over the country in Shengqin. Supplying salt to your own country first will naturally reduce the supply to other countries for trade. Don’t you understand this? It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand. There must be some in the mission.
Those who understand, King Chu should learn from King Gu, don’t be ashamed to ask questions, and don’t be a frog in the well.”
He waved his sleeves lightly again, and Jing Hongjian couldn't help but take three steps back, until he stopped in front of his carriage. Just like that, he watched him lead a group of people into the palace.
He stood there for a long time trying to catch his breath, and finally he could only flick his sleeves, turn around and climb onto the carriage, shouting loudly: "Go back to the inn!"
When the servant guarding the door saw him leaving, he closed the door and said to Xiao Hang, who was standing behind the screen wall: "He has no reason to explain, and he is still angry."
"None of the people in Long Anguo are up to standard, huh! Watch the door carefully and don't go to them and disturb His Highness and the Princess' rest. They just came back and they didn't give them time. It's really annoying." Xiao Hang shook his hand behind his back.
The first one walked towards the backyard.
After washing up, Xiao Muting and Su Han were eating a sumptuous dinner. Aunt Yang also took Yun Shi under the porch to ask about Yun Zhu. After learning that she had found her brother and sister, the whole family was now reunited.
Finally, I felt relieved.
Su Han put the dishes in Xiao Muting's bowl and said, "Jing Hongjian's sudden visit to the house today seems not to be accidental. He may have learned about our return, so he stopped us at the door of the house."
Xiao Muting nodded: "What a coincidence. It seems that he still has some sources of information."
"This is not a good thing. That teahouse has been watched. We have also intercepted some of the news coming from there. It can be seen that they have plans in our territory. This nail must be pulled out." Su
Han picked up the meat in the bowl and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Okay, let Chang Jin take care of it later." Xiao Muting put another piece of meat into the bowl for her.
"He is already very busy. Besides, there are not many Fengqing Pavilion staff in various places now, not as good as myself..." She looked at him carefully.
Xiao Muting looked at her with a resentful look, and then said in a plaintive voice: "Han'er... I know you are anxious, but you have to leave me free for a few days. Can I let you go after I finish handling the things at hand?"
"
"Oh, please stop talking like that. I won't go to the head office. What are you doing? I'm just checking a hidden pile. If there's anything dangerous, you don't need to go with me. I'll wait for you.
That's okay." Su Han immediately patted his arm.
"Haha... I know that my Han'er loves me the most. Okay, my husband, finish what you are doing quickly and we will go check it out with you." Xiao Muting laughed out loud.
At this time, Qi Wei ran in, holding a pamphlet in his hand. Seeing the two of them eating, he said awkwardly: "Your Highness, Princess, I just received this..."
"Have you eaten? If not, let's sit down and eat together." Su Han immediately pointed to the seat opposite.
"Thank you, Princess, I really haven't eaten yet." Qi Wei came over with a smile, handed the pamphlet to Xiao Muting, sat down, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
Xiao Muting had put down his chopsticks and opened the booklet. Su Han also stretched out his head to look at it for a few times, then withdrew his gaze and continued eating.
"This is too fast, it will arrive tomorrow!" Xiao Muting frowned.
"Does our family still have a house? If not, let's rent a ready-made one and arrange for them to live in it first. But we must also tell Old Man Bai first and let him control his master and don't cause trouble to us. Otherwise, I
I won't give anyone face." Su Han said coldly with a stern face.
Xiao Muting touched her head distressedly: "Okay, I'll make the arrangements, so you don't have to worry about it. Aren't you going to see Xiao Hei and Lao Gui at your brother's place tomorrow? Do you want to bring them some delicious food?"
"Of course I want it. I don't know what they are doing in this ravine. Now even my brother is not allowed to go down to the ravine. It's very mysterious." Su Han felt better again and said with a slight curl of his lips.
"It should be a surprise!" Xiao Muting coaxed her.
