After the old man threw away the officers and soldiers and swaggered back to the restaurant, it was exactly half an hour before everyone had just finished eating.
"Grandpa Du, you didn't rush to eat, have you already eaten?" Bai Yu joked.
The old man said carelessly, "When I touched the big seal, I bought half a roast goose in the kitchen. It tasted pretty good and I was full! I just walked around a few times and it was just perfect for digestion!"
The eldest princess was curious, "That big seal... have you returned it?"
"Give it back, give it back, why do I want that thing? I can't eat it or drink it!"
"Yes, you can't eat or drink. Why do you want to touch the big seal?"
Talking about this poisonous Bugui got angry, he raised his nose and raised his eyes, "When the old man was walking around, he met the official near the yamen. He scolded the yamen and drove me away, saying that beggars are not allowed near the yamen. ! He actually called grandpa a beggar and chased me away! I couldn’t help but feel angry even if he touched the big seal. If he hadn’t escaped so quickly, grandpa would have taken off his underwear and hung him up at the yamen gate!"
After scolding, the old man's face suddenly became full of gossip, "When I came back, I heard two ears of gossip. There was going to be a fight over there in Dongpu. Longyuan Shangbei of Lingjiang had already started to mobilize troops! Hey, Dongpu is still here He is really tough and not afraid at all, just as we expected!"
Bai Kui and Bai Xiaofeng looked at each other, not optimistic, "I am not afraid of Dongpu, but a few small countries dare not mobilize their troops rashly. They must rely on Nan Sang's support. Nan Sang is also involved in this troubled waters. If Nan Sang is also sending troops, so he must borrow a way from Dai Viet..."
Nansang is located at the southernmost tip of the Central Plains continent. It is facing the sea on three sides and Dai Viet is adjacent to the north.
Nan Sang wanted to drive his troops deep into the hinterland of the Central Plains, and he had to either sail, or else he had to borrow a way from Dai Viet.
But as a result, Dai Viet also got into trouble.
If you don't use the road, you will offend Nansang and other countries.
If you borrow it, you will offend Dong Pu.
Diplomatic relations are different from interpersonal relationships. People like them can take grudges and grudges as they please, but the decisions of the country and the dynasty must not be willful.
In particular, Dai Viet does not yet have the willful strength.
Du Buguo couldn't understand their faces, but he also had his own opinions on the important events of the country, "If the sky falls and there are tall people holding it up, what are you worried about? This matter will definitely not be a problem for Wei Li! Come on, let's Let’s make a bet here today, whether Xiao Ali will choose to borrow the road or not, take a bet!”
Bai Xiaofeng raised his eyebrows, leaned back on the chair leisurely, and looked at the little old man, "You can bet, but what if you lose?"
"Will the old man lose? Impossible! If I lose, I will call you grandpa instead!"
The old man slapped the table and made bold remarks. As soon as he finished speaking, a chorus of voices echoed in his ears, "No excuses!"
Old man, "..."
Looking at this battle, he will definitely lose.
But it doesn’t matter, your grandpa will always be your grandpa, and there are plenty of ladders to cross the wall.
The old man raised his triangular eyes and said, "Bai Xiaofeng, you are the banker. Grandpa bets that you will not take advantage of the opportunity!"
Under the corner of Bai Xiaofeng's newly raised lips.
Kids, "Pfft! Hahahaha!"
Bai Kui leaned over the table, and the eldest princess smiled so hard that her teeth showed.
Because the old man was too shameless, the bet couldn't go through. Everyone laughed and didn't stay in the teahouse longer. They paid the bill and left the city quickly.
Not long after the group left, officers and soldiers rushed into the teahouse after hearing the news. Unfortunately, they arrived too late and the private room was already empty, with only a piece of paper left on the tea table.
The handwriting on the paper is scrawled and unruly - Grandsons, grandpa is leaving!
At the end of the paper, there was also a large seal of their border city government office, which was extremely arrogant.
In mid-winter, the temperature on the river is much colder than on the shore.
There was a heater in the cabin, and the portholes on both sides were closed, making the cabin warm.
Du Buguo was in a good mood after teasing the officers and soldiers. He lay by the stove with his head propped up and his legs crossed, humming a tune.
Bing'er and Wheat Sui were sitting on a short table, hatching cocoons together. The eldest princess was listening to the three boys from the Su family dancing and telling stories, and sometimes she laughed.
Under the porthole, two equally imposing old men stabbed each other in the back while drinking and singing.
The cabin was not big, but everyone's voices mingled together, making it so lively that the roof of the cabin was about to flip off.
Bai Yu took Tianbao and sat under the porthole on the other side. His ability to block out noise was perfect and he was not affected at all.
"What do you think about borrowing a passage?" he asked.
Tianbao crossed his legs and propped up his chin, and said calmly, "Wei Li won't borrow it."
"Of course I know he won't borrow it, but Dai Viet cannot be in a dilemma because of disputes with other countries."
"What's so difficult? If the water is muddied, after the Eight Kingdoms are over, they won't have the energy or ability to deal with Dai Viet. The Dai Viet of that time will not be the Dai Viet of today."
Bai Yu imitated the girl's example of crossing her legs and raising her chin. The distance between the two of them instantly became a little closer, making it suitable for them to whisper, "Tianbao, you are so bad."
Tianbao twitched the corner of his mouth and raised his eyes, "Am I as bad as you? You have a nice smile, but all the bad things are hidden in your belly."
Do you think she doesn't know? When he asked her, he already had an idea in mind.
Bai Yu fell down laughing, his peach blossom eyes as bright as two handfuls of starlight.
Tian Bao held her chin and watched quietly how long he laughed. His apricot eyes were quiet and bright, so transparent that he seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.
They looked at each other for a little too long.
"..." Bai Yuqiang sat upright, feeling a burning sensation in his ears. He coughed lightly and cleared his throat, "I heard from hearsay about the deployment of troops from various countries. I don't know whether it is true or not. When we dock at the next dock, I will go to Wangque Tower. Dark spot confirms the news. If the news is true, we will discuss it in detail when the time comes——"
"Why are you blushing?" Opposite me, the girl tilted her head, her eyes filled with confusion.
Bai Yu, "...not red."
"famous."
"hot."
"Go on to business."
Bai Yu was unhappy again. He put his handsome face in front of the girl's eyes and said seriously, "Tianbao, actually you can ask me two more times."
Tian Bao frowned and slapped his head to the deck, "Capricious."
"..." The young master is so damn unjust!
After walking for half a day from the border town and entering the Chishui River Basin, we are in the territory of Dayue.
After arriving at the first pier after entering the country, Bai Yu immediately went ashore to receive the news. Bai Kui couldn't sit still, but finally followed him.
The people's livelihood scene at the Dayue Fucheng pier is lively. People come and go at the huge pier, and there are mountains of goods everywhere.
"Son, where is the dark spot? Is it far away?" Pidianpidian followed behind his son, while Bai Kui spoke with a smile on his face.
Bai Yu turned to glance at him, "Don't hide anymore?"
"Hide? Son, this is such a big misunderstanding! Why would dad hide from you? This is not the first time I'm walking with you. Dad is so excited that he doesn't even know what to say!"
"I haven't known you for more than a year or two. I know how many tricks you have in your belly. Why are you still pretending? You don't admit it, do you? Okay, let me ask you, what kind of business do you want to do in Xiling?"
Bai Kui was no longer afraid. He made a draft about this matter, and when his son asked again, he just said, "Porcelain business!"
"Who is the other party?"
"Meng Yuanhuai, a member of Du'an City!"
"Is everything settled?"
"That's right!"
"My mother is not angry with you?"
"It's too late for her to be happy -"
Their eyes met, and there was an additional stone sculpture on the dock square.
