As he said that, the leader did not forget to hand over the token given by Mrs. Pingyuan Jun - a jade jue.
The wife of Pingyuan Lord Zhao Sheng was the sister of Lord Xinling. She also had a very good relationship with Lord Xinling in the royal family. After marrying to the Kingdom of Zhao, she maintained a long-term correspondence with Lord Xinling.
Therefore, if Lian Po wants to get close to Lord Xinling, he might as well accompany Lord Pingyuan as his retainer. This way he can see Lord Xinling as quickly as possible and cover his eyes to a certain extent. After all, the Qin State's Black Ice Platform Not a vegetarian.
The war was getting serious, so the sister who was married to the State of Zhao sent her retainers to ask her brother for advice.
Sure enough, the person behind the door heard that Mrs. Pingyuan Jun had sent someone, and hurriedly opened the side door, took the jade and took a look. Sure enough, it was a natural pair with the one that his master often wore. There was no trace of it now. Suspect.
He immediately turned out to welcome him and said: "It turns out that Madam sent someone to start a war from Shangdang (the Battle of Changping is more described by later generations. Changping is actually only a small part of the battlefield, so it is said to be the Battle of Shangdang). Since then, Your Majesty has been worried about my wife's safety all the time. I have repeatedly asked for permission to visit the Kingdom of Zhao, but my king has not allowed me to do so. I have been worried all day long, and now I have been looking forward to having you here."
The concierge talked nonchalantly, and while talking, he let the guests in.
The leader naturally nodded slightly and immediately made way for Lian Po.
Lian Po immediately crossed the threshold and walked into the palace, and then said to the concierge: "Have you had a rest, Your Majesty? I have some important things to discuss with Your Majesty in detail."
"Your Majesty has just come back from the palace and is in the study. I have asked the servant to go and inform you. Please wait with me in the hall. The rest of you are tired from the journey. The servant at the door will take everyone to take a bath. Rest." The concierge said with a smile.
I have to say that the concierge was still very discerning. He immediately noticed that General Lian Po was unusual. Well, yes, there was only one old man among a group of strong men. If he was not the backbone, who would be! However, the concierge was still wrong and thought that the gray-haired old man was the housekeeper of Pingyuan Jun's house, but he never realized that Lian Po was the father of the Zhao Kingdom.
"Okay, just follow your orders." Lian Po didn't know the difference. He was even happy that the concierge misunderstood, and responded immediately.
Immediately, Lian Po, led by the concierge, moved to the living room.
As soon as we sat down, we were immediately served with fresh tea. The mist of water slowly rose from the cup and dissipated invisible in the empty living room.
Lian Po slightly looked at the furnishings in the living room. Compared with the majesty of the outer wall, the living room was quite large, but a little "unpretentious" - a few tables and chairs, two screens, and a soft couch They are all the belongings, and although the tables, chairs, soft couches, and screens are made of mahogany, there are no complicated carvings, just a few simple strokes to add interest.
Looking at the scenery, it does not look like a house of great civil servants, but rather like a room of meritorious military officers.
With just one glance, Lian Po knew that he and Zhao Kuo had found the wrong person. Whether Lord Xinling was really pragmatic and didn't care about the cost, or he was pretending to be shabby to create a pragmatic atmosphere, he could at least conclude that Lord Xinling was an extremely smart person. characters.
After reaching this conclusion, Lian Po was already satisfied, so he simply closed his eyes slightly and silently performed the lines to be played later in his heart.
After a while, a sound came from the back hall, it must be Lord Xinling coming. Lian Po opened his eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled - acting is really troublesome!
When he learned that due to the outbreak of the Shangdang war, letters were cut off, and his sister, whom he had not contacted for a long time, now sent a message from his retainer, Lord Xinling was both happy and surprised. He immediately put down the pen in his hand and walked to the living room.
"My sister is still fine!" Mr. Xinling's voice came first before Mr. Xinling arrived.
"I've met Lord Xinling!" Lian Po said calmly, cupping his hands and giving a slight salute.
Mr. Xinling was stunned. What's going on? Are the people at my sister's place so ignorant of etiquette? As Mr. Pingyuan's family member, Mr. Pingyuan's wife is his master, and I am his wife's brother, so I can be regarded as half of the master. It does not say kneeling down to pay respects, nor does it say bowing to the end. Slightly bending down and bowing is the minimum. !
Why do you just arch your hands? Even an ordinary person wouldn't be so rude!
Although he had doubts in his heart, Lord Xinling was worthy of being one of the Four Gentlemen of the Warring States Period, and he was also famous for being courteous and virtuous. This was something the city still had.
Ignoring the intentional or unintentional rudeness of the person in front of him, Mr. Xinling stepped forward quickly and said with a smile: "My husband, it's been a... hard... journey..."
The closer Mr. Xinling got, the more he felt something was wrong and his voice became smaller and smaller.
No, this aura is too wrong, too much of the domineering nature of the other's mother. It's not the arrogant momentum, but the kind of temperament that looks down on the world and is not angry. Not to mention Lord Pingyuan's retainers, even Lord Pingyuan himself does not have such momentum!
Also, with this gray beard and hair, even if there is no one available for my sister, she will not let such an old man carry a message thousands of miles away. If she gets caught on the road, how can she still deliver the message?
The most, most, most important thing is that he has seen this wrinkled old face before!
The answer was ready to come out, but Lord Xinling swallowed it alive, not because of others, but because there were family elders and maids behind him. Obviously, the person in front of him came to visit at night, and pretended to be his sister's retainer. Naturally, he didn't want others to know. go.
He swallowed immediately and calmed his panic a little.
"Old...Old man, please come over here. Let's talk in the study!" Lord Xinling nodded, looked at Lian Po with a burning gaze, and pulled Lian Po towards his study without saying anything.
On the way to the study, Lord Xinling specifically turned around and whispered to his family elders: "Call a few reliable generals to guard the area around the study. No one is allowed to approach the study!"
The elders who heard this were also surprised: What's going on? Isn't it just visiting relatives and passing on oral messages? Is it necessary to be so mysterious? Or should I say, someone is coming...
The elder, who seemed to have thought of something, did not dare to think about it any more and hurriedly agreed: "Yes!"
Lian Po, who had been walking ahead, although he did not look back, relied on his ability to listen to all directions and listened to all this in his heart. All of this also quietly corroborated Zhao Kuo's judgment on Lord Xinling, and Lian Po felt more confident.
The housekeeper was very efficient. After a while, several big men had already secured the four corners of the study. When Lian Po arrived at the door of the study, Lord Xinling saw that his confidants had been arranged around him, so he quickly let General Lian Po into the study. among.
Turn around and close the door. Lord Xinling hesitated for a moment, then closed the window again.
