The old King of Nanhuai was leaning on his chair and had just picked up the tea cup. When he heard Yi Xiaodao's familiar greeting, he put down the tea cup hesitantly and waited to see who the visitor was.
In fact, Yi Xiaodao also made an impromptu decision. He discussed the proposal of marriage with Li Dingxing in Dayang Mountain just to look familiar. He insisted on proposing marriage outside the Nanhuai Prince's Mansion for self-protection. Unexpectedly, he entered the Nanhuai Prince's Mansion by accident. Yi Xiaodao began to think about how to meet the Nanhuai Prince who was ruling the southeast.
In anticipation of King Nanhuai, Yi Xiaodao turned around the main door and entered the main reception hall.
The King of Nanhuai squinted his eyes and looked Yi Xiaodao up and down, and asked: "I have never had an old friend of your age in my memory. Is my little friend the son of my old friend?"
Yi Xiaodao shrugged his shoulders: "Probably not. Yi Xiaodao was still a beggar in Wancheng a month ago."
Prince Nanhuai's eyes narrowed even further: "Did your Excellency come to my Nanhuai Prince's Mansion on purpose to have fun?" There was a trace of murderous intent in his words. Even Li Yaoyang beside him became angry and angry when he heard Yi Xiaodao's confession. , looked at him fiercely.
Yi Xiaodao ignored the two people's gazes, walked to the side and sat down, picked up the teacup and said, "I didn't say you'll be fine. I said it on behalf of His Majesty."
When the King of Nanhuai heard Yi Xiaodao talking about his current majesty, he was shocked and concluded that he must know something, otherwise he would dare to "cause trouble" as soon as the imperial envoys arrived?
"Yes, the imperial court sent envoys to Nanhuai, but this is something that everyone in Su City knows. Our Nanhuai Prince's Mansion is not a place where children can come and go at will." The old Nanhuai Prince vowed to find out what happened to Yi. The details of the knife.
Yi Xiaodao laughed: "Really? What does King Nanhuai think of that envoy? Will His Majesty specially send... such an envoy?"
Yi Xiaodao didn't know that Huang Bai was still like a puddle of mud, sleeping soundly in Nanhuai Palace. I just came here to deceive the King of Nanhuai. When talking to such a person of status, no matter what I say at the beginning, I can't say it too fully.
The King of Nanhuai thought of Huang Bai's drunken appearance and thought at first that there was no one in the court. Judging from Yi Xiaodao's appearance, there might be something hidden in it.
"I am all ears." King Nanhuai finally relaxed and handed over the right to speak to Yi Xiaodao.
Yi Xiaodao was secretly ecstatic in his heart. Sure enough, his bet was right, but he didn't show it on his face. He stood up and continued: "I am not talented, but I have received the grace of the Holy One to come to Nanhuai as an envoy. However, the talisman does not exist. In Master Huang's case, Bian. If the prince doesn't believe it, he can send someone to ask the envoy if his surname is Huang, and then he will know the truth."
Why is there any need to send someone to ask? When we were greeted at noon, Huang Bai had already reported his name. But King Nanhuai was still a little worried and continued to ask: "That's all? That's not enough. It's not difficult for other people to know the envoy's surname..."
Yi Xiaodao sneered, it's going to be difficult, right? I'll give you the hard part.
Yi Xiaodao stood up and said: "Your Majesty asked me to ask the King of Nanhuai why the annual tribute has not been received until now! The dispute between Jiacheng and Yicheng continues, and they have not been able to be reconciled!" After saying that, he put the teacup in his hand to The table was shaken hard, and the momentum was sufficient.
The King of Nanhuai was shocked and stood up quickly to accuse him. However, when he thought of the identity of the person in front of him, it was not appropriate to accuse him, so he had to stand up and said: "Sui Gong... There are many aristocratic families in Nanhuai, and they are secretly restricting Sui. The tribute has been delayed, and both Jiacheng and Yicheng are controlled by aristocratic families, so I am... powerless."
Yi Xiaodao turned around and shouted: "If you are unable to do anything, why not report it to the court as soon as possible!"
The King of Nanhuai said: "I reported to the court early in the morning, but later I found out that it was Taishi Li who suppressed my memorial and refused to publish it, so the decision was delayed." At this point, the King of Nanhuai complained quite a bit. Taste, Yi Xiaodao actually understood the whole story even if he didn't say it, but if he wanted to seize the initiative in chatting, he had to intimidate him step by step, and then let the other party take a breath.
"So that's it. The imperial court mistakenly blamed the King of Nanhuai. I will tell the truth to His Majesty." Yi Xiaodao decided to let the King of Nanhuai breathe a sigh of relief.
When the King of Nanhuai heard Yi Xiaodao's words, his heart felt as if a stone had fallen to the ground. He involuntarily raised his hands and thanked him: "Then I will send you Lao Qin."
Yi Xiaodao then asked: "When I entered the city, I saw some city guards following me, so that I and my companions escaped. I wonder... but what did the prince do?" Yi Xiaodao had just looked around outside the gate of the palace, and he didn't know what he was doing. I didn't see Fang Long and Xiang Lian'er, and now I have to find out where they are.
The King of Nanhuai then remembered that the official reported at noon that dozens of suspicious people had been arrested. However, seeing Yi Xiaodao pressing forward step by step, he certainly could not admit that he was the person he had ordered to arrest.
"Yang'er, go check and see if any envoys from the imperial court were arrested by mistake today." The King of Nanhuai decided to push four, five, six, and pick himself clean first.
Yi Xiaodao didn't care who caught him, even if King Nanhuai admitted it, he couldn't do anything to him, as long as Xiang Lian'er and Fang Long were returned to him intact.
Soon after Li Yaoyang left, as soon as Yi Xiaodao's name was announced in the prison, Fang Long immediately grabbed the railing and shouted recognition, and fished himself and Xiang Lian'er out of the prison.
Along the way, Li Yaoyang looked up and down Xiang Lian'er. Although Yi Xiaodao was a special envoy of the imperial court, it did not hinder his personal affairs. If it was really a special envoy of the imperial court, appointed by the emperor, then it would be considered a good match for the special envoy's sister to marry into the Li family. Thinking about it this way, Li Yaoyang's "sister-in-law" became more and more pleasing to his eyes.
"It seems quite generous, which is perfect for his second brother's dull temperament." Li Yaoyang thought to himself.
Fang Long naturally didn't know what Li Yaoyang was thinking, but he saw his eyes frequently on Xiang Lian'er. Although he was scared, Fang Long still stood in the middle, blocking many of Li Yaoyang's eyes for Xiang Lian'er. Li Yaoyang only regarded him as a member of the special envoy and didn't take him seriously.
Everyone came to the palace. Xiang Lian'er and Fang Long came to the hall and saw Yi Xiao Dao with his legs crossed drinking tea. Xiang Lian'er was about to open her mouth to say hello, but Yi Xiao Dao glared at her fiercely and said what he was about to say. Swallowed it alive.
"Your Majesty, this is my little sister, and this is my brother. The proposal of marriage is indeed a joke. Otherwise, I, the dark chess, would not be able to see you, Your Majesty. I wonder what your Majesty thinks of my younger sister?" Yi Xiaodao put down his tea cup and asked.
At this moment, the old King of Nanhuai completely believed that Yi Xiaodao was a special envoy of the imperial court, or an extremely secretive secret envoy. Only when such an envoy returned to Beijing to report the situation, His Majesty would be more convinced and pay more attention to Yi Xiaodao, so he would pay more attention to Yi Xiaodao. .
"It doesn't matter if the prince is dissatisfied. I'm just not blessed. I will help the prince continue to look for him in the capital. If there is a beautiful young lady in the capital, I will try my best to help the prince's two young masters to match up." Yi Xiaodao took retreat as an advance. The conversation changed again and again, and the drama was in place.
The King of Nanhuai looked at Xiang Lian'er carefully. Her skin was a little dark, but she looked quite pretty, but he didn't know what her personality was like and whether she was aggressive or not.
While the old Nanhuai King was studying carefully, Yi Xiaodao didn't wait for his reply and deliberately disrupted his thoughts: "I would like to take the liberty of asking you, Your Majesty, when can Sui Gong leave and be sent to the capital? Your Majesty, is this... Very concerned.”
The King of Nanhuai had not yet made up his mind about Xiang Lian'er. Yi Xiaodao talked about Sui Gong again, so he had to calm down and said, "I will definitely discuss the matter of Sui Gong with the big families again, as long as..."
"Your Majesty cannot wait that long." Yi Xiaodao interrupted, "This is the truth. Your Majesty has just beheaded Taishi Li in the court and is preparing to work hard to rule the country. Your Majesty, you also know that among the annual tributes from various places, Nanhuai is rich and occupies the imperial court. Datou is the closest to the capital. If the annual tribute from Nanhuai is not enough, Your Majesty..."
Yi Xiaodao deliberately hesitated to speak. Seeing that the King of Nanhuai was about to open his mouth to defend, Yi Xiaodao continued: "If the court wants to accuse other vassal kings, it may have to go through some twists and turns, but if it wants to accuse our Nanhuai..."
At this time, the old Nanhuai King was completely led by Yi Xiaodao. Yi Xiaodao first dropped the proposal of marriage, entered the Nanhuai Prince's Mansion, and shocked the Nanhuai Prince to avoid being interrogated. He also deliberately pretended to be considerate and mentioned getting married again to get closer to the King of Nanhuai. The word "we" in the last sentence sounded very pleasant to King Nanhuai, and he felt that Yi Xiaodao was indeed thinking about him.
The old Nanhuai King looked at Yi Xiaodao and leaned forward: "Nayi..."
Yi Xiaodao also came over: "In my humble opinion, Your Majesty will first collect the annual tribute independently and send it to the capital. Your Majesty Long Yan is very pleased. Your Majesty will then report it to Your Majesty. This annual tribute will be done by Your Majesty alone, so you can save money and spend money. , let’s talk about the Jiangnan aristocratic family. Your Majesty’s happiness for the prince turned to anger for the aristocratic family. Your Majesty, please..."
Yi Xiaodao's analysis was indeed sound and logical, and the old Nanhuai King nodded frequently: "What Master Yi said is correct! I will do it now! I will do it now! Yang'er, leave it to you, we must make complete arrangements!"
Li Yaoyang responded from the side, glanced at Xiang Lian'er again, and followed the order.
"Thank you Master Yi. I wonder what official position Master Yi holds in the imperial court for such a great talent?" King Nanhuai asked carefully.
Yi Xiaodao chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, I say that I will still be a beggar in Wancheng until next month. Can you believe it?"
The old Nanhuai King shook his head repeatedly: "Master Yi is joking, I hope you won't hide it."
Yi Xiaodao nodded: "Since the prince has seen my concealment, why bother to ask again? You must know that concealment is not my intention." After speaking, he stretched out his index finger and pointed at the top of his head.
The old King of Nanhuai suddenly realized: "Okay, since it is inconvenient for Master Yi to reveal it, I will not ask. I also ask Master Yi to come to my Nanhuai and walk around a lot when you are free. I am willing to listen to my teachings! It is true that a hero comes from a young age... "
"That's natural! By the way, I wonder what the King of Nanhuai thinks of my sister? Why don't you invite the second young master..." Yi Xiaodao was still holding on to the matter of proposing marriage, and he had to do a full show, even if Xianglian Her son is really attracted to her, so marrying her to the Prince of Nanhuai is not a bad thing.
When the old Nanhuai King saw Yi Xiaodao mentioning the matter of getting married again, although he already knew that Yi Xiaodao was using the proposal of marriage as a pretense to enter the Nanhuai Prince's Palace, the fact that he mentioned it at this time showed that he was very sincere, and he immediately said: "Okay, This... I also have to ask Quanzi for his opinion."
"I have already met your son. He is so talented, and I am afraid that my sister is not worthy of him." Yi Xiaodao said politely.
"Serious words, serious words." King Nanhuai, who had always been proud of his youngest son, said politely with a smile on his face.
"In this case, it's getting late today. I'll come back to visit you another day. Then let me, the little sister, and the second young master meet. Anyway, there's no rush." Yi Xiaodao looked at the sky outside and felt it was time to run away.
"Okay! I will send Master Yi off." Old Nanhuai King stood up and was about to see them off.
Yi Xiaodao quickly persuaded him to stay: "Stay, my lord, stay. I'll bother you again another day!"
In the end, the palace steward sent the three people outside the door, and all three horses were returned. Yi Xiaodao and the others took the horses and left the Nanhuai Palace leisurely.
In the alley on the corner of the street diagonally opposite the palace, a little head stuck out. It was a little girl, but this little girl had acne all over her face. She had no eyeball in her left eye, and her dark eye sockets looked at Yi Xiaodao and others quietly. .
