Since the deputy envoy of the State of Zhao was busy, Xu Qing did not bother the deputy envoy of the State of Zhao. He was about to return to the country and it was time to write down and sort out the relevant documents. This is normal.
Before returning home, the envoy of the State of Zhao will definitely come to find him.
Not only for Chu and Zhao, but also for his own black gauze hat.
Xu Qing is not anxious at all about this.
In the next two days, Long Bing'er ate more and more, which made Xu Qing a little worried. He originally wanted to give a kind reminder, but who knew that Long Bing'er didn't listen to the advice at all, and ate one bite after another on the table.
The food served.
After eating and taking a short rest, Long Bing'er would go find Su Qian and Xiao Ruxue to fight in the martial arts arena.
Due to frequent exercise after meals, this girl has not gained weight, and the fat has grown where it should.
However, due to Long Binger's frequent fights with Su Qian, Xu Qing was rarely able to take a peaceful nap in the past two days.
I really should thank her properly.
Now, Zhao State's situation is very clear, and a large box of gifts must have fallen into the eyes of the Zhou State envoy.
This deputy envoy of Zhou State is headstrong and self-righteous, but he also has a sister who is the queen. When the time comes, he will go to court to join the Zhao State and has no intention of forming an alliance.
If Zhao Guozheng's envoys report to Zhao Guochao through his connections in the court, then this seemingly certain alliance will disappear and be destroyed by itself.
The Chu court naturally knew what the real purpose of the Zhou envoy was.
It was nothing more than looking for an excuse to start a war with the Chu State.
For this reason, Zhou State even prepared a double insurance of a prince and a princess. If one fails, there will be another one.
But, as luck would have it, none of this double insurance succeeded.
Nowadays, the sixth prince of the Zhou Kingdom appears to be indifferent on the surface, but in fact he is a very deep master. Not only is he a master, but Xu Qing observes that he is also a girl control.
And this time Zhou Guo's assassination of Li Mingyue has obviously touched the bottom line of this sister who controls the sixth prince.
After returning home, the sixth prince is afraid that he will launch crazy revenge on the decision-makers and executors of this incident.
Alas, I really don’t know who gave them the courage to provoke such a brother with sister-control attributes...
The sixth prince is deeply hidden and can survive unscathed in the residence of the Zhou Dynasty envoy until now. I am afraid that the intrigues and tricks of the Zhou Dynasty deputy envoy and the imperial court are no longer able to deal with the sixth prince Li Xun. Li Xun is not afraid of being hurt.
It’s time to find a way to attack Princess Mingyue.
However, Princess Mingyue is now in the Anding Palace. The Anding Palace is surrounded not only by shadow guards, but also by a close intelligence network and a master like her own wife.
Not to mention assassination, even the most despicable poisoning can't be done.
If the Zhou delegation wanted to attack Li Mingyue, they must find a way to get Li Mingyue to leave the Anding residence.
The second day
Qinzheng Hall
above the court meeting
Wei Zhong stood beside the Emperor of Chu and said: "If there is something to do, we will start to fight, but if there is nothing to do, we will retreat from the court!"
The deputy envoy of Zhou State stood up and said: "The foreign minister has something to say."
Emperor Chu looked at the deputy envoy of Zhou and said, "What does the deputy envoy want to report?"
The deputy envoy of Zhou State said: "Reporting to His Majesty the Emperor, our Princess Mingyue has been temporarily staying in the home of your ministers these days. This is inconsistent with etiquette. Now that the assassination incident has passed and the main culprits have been brought to justice, the princess should be allowed to return to the mission.
In the group."
Li Xun looked at the deputy envoy of Zhou State, with a cold light flashing in his eyes. Is it convenient for you to let Ning'er return to the envoy?
Thinking of this, Li Xun stood up and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the foreign minister thinks it is better to let Princess Mingyue live in the Anding Mansion for a while. The Anding Mansion is relatively safe, and the foreign minister, as Princess Mingyue's brother, can feel more at ease.
.”
The deputy envoy of Zhou State did not flatter the sixth prince as usual this time, and said: "Do you think that the envoy of the Zhou Dynasty is not capable of protecting the princess of our dynasty? It is necessary to protect the safety of the princess.
To place your trust in the ministers of other countries? What is your Majesty’s intention?”
Li Xun said: "If the surrounding area of the mission is safe, why have I been assassinated six times in a row these days?"
The deputy envoy of the State of Zhou couldn't help but clenched the fists in his sleeves. In fact, it was more than six times. He prepared a dozen assassination attempts on Li Mingyue and Li Xun, but failed every time.
If not, he wouldn't have asked Princess Mingyue to be transferred back to the mission.
The most important task of this trip is to find an excuse for war. Either kill the princess, the prince, or both.
The offspring born to the palace maid, if it had not been for this mission, His Majesty would never have remembered that there was such a pair of brothers and sisters born in the palace.
If they can give full play to the residual heat in them before they die, their journey to this world will not be in vain.
Now I am afraid that the sixth prince who is deeply hidden has no chance of taking action, so Princess Mingyue is the last hope.
Deputy envoy Zhou Guo said: "Nonsense! I live in the envoy and have never encountered an assassination. Could it be that the envoy was frightened by the last assassination? Besides, the envoy is surrounded by my envoy escort.
Isn't it safer than the residence of a county magistrate?"
Li Xun said: "The princess's temporary stay at the Anding Count's Mansion is not just for safety. She also needs Taoist Master Chunyang from Anding County who is highly skilled in medicine to treat her congenital diseases. It is not convenient to come back during this period."
The deputy envoy of Zhou State retorted: "Taoist priest? How can a country Taoist priest cure a princess with golden branches and beautiful leaves? It is not appropriate at this time!"
In the end, the envoys and deputy envoys of Zhou State argued back and forth until they retired and could not come up with a reason, so they had to put it aside for the time being.
After leaving the palace, the deputy envoy of Zhou State returned to his residence with two trusted envoys with a sullen face. Li Xun took a deep look at his back, then turned and walked in the opposite direction.
That's the way to Anding Bo's Mansion.
Anding Bofu
Taoist Master Chunyang finished prescribing the medicine for Li Mingyue and said: "The girl's condition has improved steadily. There is no need for too much conditioning. You only need to take this medicine every one or two days for half a year. The girl's illness will disappear."
It will heal.”
Taoist Master Chunyang finished prescribing the medicine and said goodbye. Xu Qing went over to see this senior brother out.
Taoist Master Chunyang walked out of the gate of Uncle Anding's Mansion, looked at Xu Qing, and finally looked at this junior fellow apprentice with a look of hatred for steel, then sighed and left.
Xu Qing looked at Taoist Master Chunyang leaving and said to himself: "It's inexplicable."
Xu Qing then turned around and was about to go back when he saw Li Xun walking over.
Li Xun walked up to Xu Qing, bowed his hands to him, and said, "Brother Xu."
Xu Qing looked at the gloomy look on Li Xun's face and asked, "Brother Li is in a bad mood today?"
Li Xun clenched the fists in his sleeves and said in a deep voice: "This morning, Yang Zhou came up with the excuse that it was inappropriate for the princess to live in the home of a minister from another country, and wanted to transfer Ning'er back to live in the mission, but I vetoed it.
.Hmph! Will it be easier for them to move Ning'er back?!"
Xu Qing said: "But in fact, Brother Li does not have to be so passive and forbearing all the time. On the contrary, Brother Li can take the initiative."
"Take the initiative?" Li Xun wondered: "How to take the initiative?"
Xu Qingdao: "The reason why Deputy Envoy Yang wants to attack Brother Li and Mingyue is simply because he wants to find an excuse for Zhou to attack Chu. Since Zhou only needs an excuse, then who will die?
