Li Xiaozheng also wanted to speak out for Xia Wenzhi. It would be terrible if Xia Jiuyuan really listened to the two Huo brothers.
We all know that a wise woman cannot make a meal without rice.
Even with the help of Lu Qian, a living god, their trip would probably be a disaster.
"His Majesty..."
Xia Jiuyuan waved his hand and said, "Li Shoufu, you don't have to say anything! Have you forgotten how you and Wenzhi agreed at the beginning? I also agreed with you and asked him to go with you! Could it be that you were deceiving me at the beginning? ?·』
Such a big hat was thrown at him, making Li Xiaozheng afraid to speak again.
"My lord, I don't dare!"
"Okay, hurry up and find someone to deliver a message to Wenzhi, and do as the two Huo Shangshu said." Xia Jiuyuan said coldly.
Li Xiaozheng nodded with an ugly expression.
...
After leaving the court.
Gao Weixin asked Xia Jiuyuan, "Your Majesty, are you really planning not to give them money or food?"
Xia Jiuyuan nodded and said, "Brothers Huo Yingluan are right to remind you! That old guy Bron has never taken me seriously! Their Huaibei governor's treasury may be richer than me, the emperor's inner treasury!"
As he spoke, he paused.
Looking at Gao Weixin, he said, "What? Didn't you say at the beginning that Lu Qian was a living god? He said that if he accompanied him, he might be able to eradicate Bronn. I had no confidence in him."
Gao Weixin shook his head and said with a smile, "That's not the case, I think your Majesty's trick is really good. If His Majesty can complete this mission, it means that Lu Qian is also of great use, and your Majesty can recruit him to work for you! On the contrary, , is a person who has been over-hyped, so if he dies, he will die..."
After Xia Jiuyuan heard this, he couldn't help laughing loudly, "You old guy, you are really the roundworm in my stomach!"
...
The next day, at the inn.
Xia Wenzhi told Lu Qian the news he received from Li Xiaozheng's letter.
After Lu Qian listened to Xia Wenzhi's words, he couldn't help but cursed.
"I'm tricking his uncle! Isn't this a trick? Your Highness, are you his biological son? He is clearly asking us to die!"
Xia Wenzhi's expression was equally ugly and he replied, "It's the Huo family who is causing trouble! My father already has a problem with Bronn... What should we do?"
Lu Qian was silent for a moment and then said, "Let's save our lives first... We will enter the Huaibei area tomorrow, and we will reach Jiuyao City the day after tomorrow. By then..."
Lu Qian had no choice but to change yesterday's plan.
Although I have some opinions on Xia Wenzhi.
However, this time they were on the same boat.
If you don't help him do this well, he won't be able to go back.
The next day, Lu Qian and the others entered the Huaibei area.
After entering Huaibei, I expected to see many victims.
What surprised Lu Qian was that he saw no victims along the way.
After passing several cities, their lives were as usual.
After some inquiring, I found out that the sixteen cities in northern Huaibei were really affected.
So it didn't spread here.
On the second day after arriving, their car had just arrived in Jiuyao City.
There were several people waiting at the door.
A lean old man was outside the carriage.
He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Zhang Zicheng! The Lord of Jiuyao City, by the order of the Governor, is here to greet His Highness! I have met Your Highness."
"I'm sorry, Sir!" Xia Wenzhi seemed very polite.
You know, this is already the territory of the Bush family.
"Your Highness, you're welcome. The Governor asked me to take you to rest for a while. A banquet will be set up in the Governor's Mansion in the city in the evening to welcome Your Highness."
With that said, he led the way into Jiuyao City.
Jiuyao City is very prosperous.
The level of prosperity here is no less than that of Kyoto.
When they arrived at the Governor's Mansion, Lu Qian was even more surprised.
be surprised.
What kind of government is this?
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a small palace.
As you can imagine, these are the people’s blessings!
No wonder Xia Jiuyuan wanted to get rid of him.
After entering the Governor's Mansion, Xia Wenzhi and his party were taken to a separate courtyard.
Zhang Zicheng bowed and said, "Your Highness, please take a short rest. Someone will inform you when the reception banquet is ready."
After Xia Wenzhi watched him leave, he said with an unkind expression, "Mr. Lu, what you said is really good. Bronn is the local emperor here!"
"I heard about it before! I didn't expect that he was really arrogant. I am also an imperial envoy appointed by my father. He actually asked a little city lord to meet me."
Lu Qian smiled helplessly and said, "Your Highness, I'm afraid you have to get used to it! You must remember what I told you and don't be impulsive!"
Waited until night.
They simply invited a waiter to inform them of the dinner party.
This made Xia Wenzhi very angry.
The dinner was held in the main hall of the Governor's Palace.
When they arrived at the main hall, they were all shocked by the decoration inside.
Even compared to the Jinluan Palace in the imperial palace, it is not far behind.
Bronn sat in the center of the hall.
On the left and right sides closest to him sat several of his sons.
There are also some officials.
After Xia Wenzhi took Lu Qian inside.
They had no intention of getting up to greet him.
Not only did Bronn sit in his seat, he had no intention of getting up.
Even his six sons showed no sign of getting up.
Seeing that Xia Wenzhi's face looked ugly, Lu Qian followed closely and whispered, "Your Highness, remember my words. A little impatience will ruin a big plan."
Xia Wenzhi nodded to Lu Qian.
After walking up, they didn't intend to say hello to him.
Xia Wenzhi smiled and bowed and said, "Wenzhi has met Governor Bu!"
Seeing Xia Wenzhi's reaction, everyone was a little surprised.
They wanted to give Xia Wenzhi a showdown.
But looking at his reaction, he seemed completely disapproving.
Bronn said with a smile. "Your Highness, you're welcome! Your Highness must have had a hard time traveling all the way. I have specially prepared a small banquet for you today."
"Governor Bu is so polite! Yes, if I hadn't been framed by the Huo family, I wouldn't have had to come here and suffer this crime. This journey has been exhausting for me!" Xia Wenzhi said with a dandy expression.
"The Huo family, they asked me to provide disaster relief! I have not seen a single disaster victim along the way! Everything in Huaibei is in order under the governance of the Governor! I think it is the Huo family. Let me come here to offend you, the Governor. I can lend you your hand. Come and get rid of me, a thorn in their side.”
Seeing Xia Wenzhi say this, several Bronn's sons present smiled with disdain.
One of the sons stood up and flattered him and said, "Your Highness, you are a saint! I didn't expect that Your Highness would be so clear-eyed."
Xia Wenzhi naturally couldn't hear their ridicule and bowed his hands.
"Your Highness, I'm serious. You are our distinguished guest from all of Huaibei! Please take a seat." Bronn did not answer and asked Xia Wenzhi to take a seat.
The best emperor master
