Arriving at Chang'an smoothly, Le Zhengxi still pretended to be an ordinary general and stayed with the soldiers. Jiang Wu did not hide his identity and stayed beside Huan, and the three of them looked after each other.
When they arrived, Pu Liurujian said that a banquet would be held in a few days. As for the reason for holding the banquet, they said it was for the friendly development of the two countries, for the smooth re-establishment of cooperation, etc., they were all very colorful. In the past few days, they were in Chang'an.
stroll.
Hyun and Jiang Wu casually entered a shop, and the waiter immediately greeted them excitedly:
"Master Zhuo is here. What happened that time, you brought Prince Qi and the others back safely. It's really impressive. Whatever Master Zhuo wants to buy today, we will give you a discount."
Hyun smiled and said:
"Okay, okay, then I'm going to take advantage of you," the waiter said as he approached, "There are so many rare things in your store, can you meet with your shopkeeper? I want to buy more."
Every time Hyun came to Chang'an, she would go to this store to buy one or two things. The clerk was not surprised by her request. He agreed and took Hyun and Jiang Wu to see the shopkeeper.
The waiter first introduced Hyun and Jiang Wu to the shopkeeper, and then said to Hyun:
"This is our Shopkeeper Yun. If you want anything, you can talk to Shopkeeper Yun."
Then he said goodbye and left.
When Shopkeeper Yun saw Hyun, he was not very surprised, because there were many people wearing black faces to impersonate Master Zhuo. Therefore, Shopkeeper Yun looked at Hyun very defensively:
"Are you Mr. Zhuo?"
Hyun ignored his defensiveness, sat down with Jiang Wu, and then took out the blue sign that was given to her.
You can fake a black face, but you can't fake this only blue sign. Shopkeeper Yun's eyes lit up when he saw this sign, but to be cautious, he still looked at the sign carefully.
After returning the sign to Hyun with both hands, he saluted respectfully:
"I never thought I would see this sign one day. Mr. Zhuo, if you have any instructions, just tell me. I will definitely help you."
Hyun smiled and asked Shopkeeper Yun to sit down:
"This time Pu Liurujian invited us to discuss cooperation. I wonder what Shopkeeper Yun thinks?"
Shopkeeper Yun stroked his beard and said:
"This matter has already spread throughout the streets and alleys, but the old man is ignorant. Looking at some of Pu Liurujian's actions, it is better to say that he is assisting the government, but it is better to say that he is seeking power and usurping the throne. In this case, he should not clear the roadblocks
Well, why are you in such a hurry to talk about cooperation? There is something strange here."
Hyun didn’t notice Shopkeeper Yun’s expression, but Jiang Wu noticed it and interjected:
"If Shopkeeper Yun has anything to say, you might as well say it directly."
Hyun pulled back from the thought of going out for a walk, looked at Jiang Wu, and then at Shopkeeper Yun, waiting for his next words.
Shopkeeper Yun looked at the two of them, thought for a while and said:
"I feel that Pu Liurujian's talk about cooperation is false, but asking for people from us is true," Shopkeeper Yun saw that the two people had no intention of interrupting and continued, "Master Zhuo rescued Qi Wang Yuwenxian and Xiaozuka Zai Yuwen Xiaobo.
There are also Wang Xing, Wang Gui, Dugu Xiong, and Doulu Shao. These people are all famous in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Not only are they famous, but they are also talented. The most important thing is that they have the Kunyu Kingdom on their backs. If both parties
Pu Liurujian has to be afraid of the strong alliance."
Jiang Wu's eyes darkened:
"Although we will not wade into their muddy waters, it is inevitable that some people will think so."
Hyun nodded and bowed to Shopkeeper Chongyun:
"No wonder Niao asked you to be the shopkeeper. Shopkeeper Yun is really well-informed and sees things clearly."
Shopkeeper Yun quickly avoided the direction of Hyun Zuo Yi:
"Before meeting Lord Zhuo, the old man thought that no one in the world could match him. However, after Master Zhuo rescued King Qi and his companions with two thousand men, the old man knew that there was a world outside the sky and there were people outside the world. Master Zhuo not only had strategies, but also courage.
, Lao Chen is in admiration. If Master Zhuo needs Lao Chen this time, Lao Chen will do his best."
Hyun was not polite to him and said directly:
"The people we brought this time have been monitored since they set foot on the land of Dazhou. There is no way to pass the news back, so to pass the news..."
Before Xuan finished speaking, shopkeeper Yun said:
"I understand. Leave the matter of passing the news to me. Stores like my boss are best at delivering messages. I will use the fastest and safest method to pass the news back to Mr. Zhuo."
It saves trouble to talk to smart people. After you have finished talking about business, it is best not to stay any longer, otherwise it will arouse the suspicion of the people watching you.
Shopkeeper Yun sent Huan and Jiang Wu to the door, cupped their hands and said:
"Don't worry, gentlemen, your goods will be delivered to Kun Yuguo's mansion safely."
After seeing the two people off, shopkeeper Yun handed a long bill of goods to the clerk. When the clerk looked at the bill, his eyes lit up:
"Shopkeeper, we made a lot of money this time."
Shopkeeper Yun smiled:
"Go and prepare. Don't waste time and lose your credibility."
The waiter responded repeatedly and happily ran away to prepare the goods. Shopkeeper Yun saw from the corner of his eye that a man dressed as a commoner who had just been sitting in front of the store disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Shopkeeper Yun looked up at the sky. There were a few lazy rays of sunshine hanging in the sky. Although they were a little lazy, they were also a little depressing. Shopkeeper Yun sighed secretly and entered the backyard.
The banquet was held as scheduled. In addition to the ministers, there were many of the five kings including Zhao Wang Yuwenzhao, Chen Wang Yuwenchun, Yue Wang Yuwensheng, Dai Wang Yuwenda, and Teng Wang Yuwenkui.
Hyun and Jiang Wu didn't come here on foot. They had waited a while before the carriage arrived outside the palace and could no longer go inside. They got off the carriage. Jiang Wu got off first, followed by Yun. However, they jumped under the carriage.
When he was walking, he stepped on the hem of his clothes and threw himself to the ground. At this time, many people entered the palace. Even if no one entered the palace, there were still many guards. The famous black-faced Master Zhuo just threw himself to the ground.
, everyone bit their lips to suppress laughter.
Only a man dressed as a military general laughed unabashedly:
"It turns out that black-faced Master Zhuo is nothing more than that."
Hyun raised his head and looked around. These people all made no secret of their contempt for him, and he had some concerns in his heart.
At this time Jiang Wu knelt down, grabbed her arm and asked:
"How's it going? Did you get hurt from the fall?"
Hyun grinned and whispered:
"I twisted my foot, it hurts..."
Jiang Wu immediately went to check, but was pulled back:
"Don't look, it's too embarrassing. Find me a stronger stick and I'll use it as a crutch."
Jiang Wu responded, helped Xuan sit down somewhere out of the way, and then went to find the stick himself.
Hyun pretended not to have anything to do and sat here waiting, but she secretly observed the expressions of the ministers who came and went. If it was a friendly exchange, even if it was a false intention, they would definitely come over to ask her, but now no one came to ask her, although there was no one.
As flamboyant as that military commander was, but with no concealment of contempt on his face, Hyun became more and more certain that this was a Hongmen Banquet.
After a while, Jiang Wu came over with a stick. The stick reached Huan's shoulder. It was just right in thickness and the wood was very strong. Huan's eyes lit up and he asked in a low voice:
