Xie Ruqing and Chu Ci, a pair of senior brothers, even though they still care about each other deep down in their hearts, they understand that they are now on opposite sides.
The friendship between brothers is far inferior to the interests of the country that one represents behind one's death. At this moment, the plans of the two people are not allowed to be known to outsiders for the time being.
The only thing that can let outsiders know their thoughts is that both of them hope that the thick fog in the morning will dissipate quickly.
Perhaps, God heard the two people's expectations, or maybe God himself didn't like the foggy weather.
As time went by, the sun gradually rose, and the hazy clouds began to dissipate.
Wisps of sunlight finally penetrated the clouds, illuminating today's extraordinarily gray sky, and shining sunlight on the earth. The fog slowly dissipated, and the outline of Kyoto gradually became clear. The antique shops, streets built with blue stone slabs, and bustling commercial centers all seem more real.
The thick fog dissipated, and the mood of people hiding at home became happier.
They no longer hide at home, but slowly step out of the door.
Some people will take their tools and go to the countryside to work, some people will drink morning tea in street shops, and some people will quietly enjoy this rare quiet time at home, but more people still hear about Nanman. After hearing the news that the envoy had not yet entered the capital, they all ran to the city gate, waiting for the Nanman envoy to enter the capital.
The clouds and fog finally completely dissipated when a new hour arrived. The entire Kyoto became bright and clear, as if the thick fog had never come.
After the thick fog dissipated, those who arrived in Kyoto were the Nanman envoys who had been unwilling to enter Kyoto. They were all dressed in blue attire, riding on tall horses, and their faces were painted with their unique Nanman tattoos. With a tall figure and a proud look, he entered Kyoto under the watchful eyes of all the people.
The welcoming delegation headed by Mr. Deng was not to be outdone. They all straightened their backs, straightened their clothes, stood on the road strewn with flowers, and stared at the slowly approaching Nanman delegation.
"The deputy envoy of the Nanman Mission, Dugu Beitian, has met General Deng. General Deng is well." The carriage of the Nanman Mission gradually approached the guard of honor that greeted the mission. The Nanman Mission finally pulled the rope and dismounted. Standing in front of the flower road, they looked at each other for a moment, thinking about who would be the pawn, but for a moment, no one wanted to go.
Finally, under the instructions of Chu Ci in the carriage, deputy envoy Dugu Baitian got off the horse, walked to Mr. Deng, and said respectfully.
Mr. Deng had to "snort" inwardly and thought to himself, this naughty son of Nanman is quite good at life. It's not good to send anyone as his deputy, but he has to send Dugu Baitian, a fox. Yaya must be dedicated to him. It’s hard to make it through.
Mr. Deng’s unreasonable mind was a sign of cleverness. It turned out that the deputy envoy of the Nanman Mission was not as good as Dugu Baitian. Firstly, because Dugu Baitian was the general guarding Dayong and Nanman, and he had a stalemate with Mr. Deng. For many years, if there is no emergency, you cannot leave your post without permission.
The second reason is because Dugu Baitian is the father-in-law of the current young emperor of the Southern Barbarians and a veteran of the two dynasties. Traveling to Dayong is very dangerous. Chu Ci has already traveled to Dayong. If Dugu Baitian also travels to Dayong, Lonely Baitian and Chu Ci will not be able to travel to Dayong. If something unexpected happened, the emperor could not explain it to the people of the world.
But Chu Ci didn't know where he knew that Mr. Deng had to be urgently recalled from the border in order to serve as the deputy envoy to welcome the delegation.
In line with the principle of making President Deng feel uncomfortable, and for the sake of future plans, Chu Ci specifically asked the emperor for Dugu Baitian to travel with him as a deputy envoy.
But this news has been kept secret from the outside world. It was not until the Nanman mission arrived in Kyoto a few days ago that everyone knew that Dugu Baitian was among the mission.
When Mr. Deng thought of the Nanman mission's "hiding the truth" and now seeing the hypocrisy of this old fox, Dugu Baitian, he really hated it. But in the end, for the sake of Dayong's face, he forced out a smile and said:
"Hahaha, welcome, General Murong, long time no see..."
"By the way, why don't your national masters want to come down?" Mr. Deng said casually to Dugu Baitian, and then turned his attention to the man who had been sitting in the carriage without getting out of the carriage or showing his face at all. The meaning is on Chu Ci.
"Our Imperial Master is not acclimated to the climate, and Dayong is really too humid. Our Imperial Master is suffering from rheumatism. In recent days, due to the recurrence of the weather, it is really not suitable to get off the horse and see people. I hope Deng Your Majesty, please understand."
Hearing this, Mr. Deng's expression suddenly changed and he cursed in his heart: "Why are you not acclimatized? Who doesn't know that this Chu Ci used to live in our Dayong? What a mess." ]
Mr. Deng was about to taunt the Nanman delegation, but Yue Xiao who was standing aside took a step forward without leaving a trace, blocking Mr. Deng and Dugu Baitian from looking at each other. Then, he heard Yue Xiao say:
"The Southern Barbarians are guests, and we Dayong are the hosts. Although guests are welcome to do as they please, we Dayong have always been benevolent, righteous, and wise. Naturally, we can understand your difficulties. If not, we will arrange a wheelchair for you to let Chu How about the Imperial Master sitting on it and following us into the imperial city." (The implication is: We Dayong always sympathize with the weak, so if you want to make a special exception, of course you can, who makes you weaker than us Dayong.)
At this moment, before Dugu Baitian could refute Yue Xiao, he heard Chu Ci, who was sitting in the carriage, suddenly chuckle, and then said in the carriage:
"That's very good. It would be perfect for me to go into the city in a wheelchair. However, it's hard work for Deputy Envoy Yue to push the wheelchair for me personally."
"If we come to Dayong, the land of etiquette, they won't reject us."
When Mr. Deng and others heard this, their expressions changed, but they had no choice but to agree to Chu Ci in the end. After all, they couldn't take the initiative to stop people outside the house, or really let a huge carriage drive in the flower. Let's walk on the road...
However, in the end, the person pushing the wheelchair changed from Yue Xiao to Cui Kai due to everyone's arguments.
Under the protection of guards, the two groups of people walked slowly on the avenue of Kyoto. They were surrounded by people watching. Especially when the two groups of people walked to the busiest street, the crowd became louder.
Both sides of the bustling street, the various elegant teahouses built on both sides, and even the second floor of the theater were all crowded with people.
Some were dressed in ordinary Dayong attire, while others were wearing exotic clothes from other countries. There were even some gorgeously dressed officials and family members standing at the fence on the second floor, looking at them with clairvoyance.
"Hey, isn't your father the official of the welcoming group? Why didn't I see him?"
Gu Ruosu took Xie Hao'an, the only one who dared to play with him, and sat on the second floor box of a small teahouse. He held the clairvoyance and looked at the two envoys frantically. In the end, he really couldn't find Xie Ruqing, so he put them down. He handed the clairvoyance in his hand to Xie Haoan and said.
"Father probably isn't here. The Nanman mission is so arrogant. Father must give them a slap in the face." Xie Hao'an said while eating pastries and looking at the street with his clairvoyant eyes.
"That's true, your father has always done things in a measured way. He must have his own considerations when doing this." Gu Ruosu took a sip of tea, and then continued:
"However, I didn't expect that your father's junior brother, the dignified national master of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom, would be disabled. It's a pity that he has such a beautiful face."
Xie Hao'an thought for a while and said doubtfully: "I have only heard from Ashu before that although Chu Ci is good-looking, his body bones are not very good. It is true that he takes medicine all the year round, but I have never heard of it. Ci is a disability... strange..."
"However, she is really pretty, just a little bit worse than me~" Xie Hao'an withdrew his clairvoyance and said quite proudly.
Gu Ruosu on the other side twitched the corner of his mouth, his son was really narcissistic, but fortunately, this boy had the capital to be narcissistic, otherwise, with Chu Ci’s appearance, everyone would have to look bad in front of him. Of course, Except for Xie Ruqing's fairy appearance.
If Xie Ruqing's appearance is a troublesome appearance that needs to be covered up with a mask, then Chu Ci's appearance is not much concession.
Maybe everyone can't believe that the Southern Barbarians can still produce beautiful men. After all, who in the world doesn't know that the Southern Barbarians are wild wolves outside the Great Wall, and the appearance of the wild wolves is nothing worth looking at.
But although Chu Ci was an out-and-out Nanman, his appearance had no resemblance to any other Nanman.
First of all, the skin of Nanman people is almost always pure bronze or chocolate color, but Chu Ci has a skin as white as milk and somewhat sickly.
Secondly, most Nanman people are strong and strong, but Chu Ci has a small frame. Even though he is not tall, he still looks extremely thin.
Finally, most of the Nanman people have thick eyebrows, big eyes, and very upright big noses, but Chu Ci has typical red phoenix eyes and lying silkworms, and even a pair of narrow and elegant willow eyebrows like Qingshan Yuandai and a pair of tall but small and exquisite A nose and cherry blossom-colored cat lips.
In general, he looks like the younger brother of the yandere neighbor cat. He feels pity for him when he sees him and can't look away when he sees him again.
However, given Chu Ci's age, he has experienced too much. There is no longer any innocent light in those sapphire-like eyes. Instead, there is a shrewd and vicious look, but this look is only in the eyes. Under Gu Ruosu's observation just now, a flash passed...
"However, mother, although this Chu Ci is a little inferior to me, he is also famous for being a handsome guy.
Why do I think you praised him for his good looks, unlike those little girls who threw sachets at Chu Ci?
I remember, you used to see good-looking people, but no matter whether my father was around or not, you would always throw away the sachet and flower photos. "Xie Hao'an said, pointing to the flowers and sachets that were thrown out from nowhere, but all of them were thrown towards Chu Ci one after another.
When Gu Ruosu heard Xie Hao'an's words, she couldn't help but coughed twice. The original owner was really such a person. She had no resistance to beauty at all. She looked like a pervert. Although she was only half a catty and eight ounces, she was Not so hungry and unselective.
"Although this Chu Ci is good-looking, in the end he represents the Nanman Kingdom, not our Dayong people, and he comes to ask for things from us. Although your mother and I love beauty as much as our lives, we support our Dayong people even more. ~If you want to throw it away, it will be thrown back at your father~"
"Besides, after this Chu Ci put aside the antagonistic relationship between the two countries, he became your father's younger brother. We are close friends and cherish each other. I am your father's wife. After all, this Chu Ci has to call me sister-in-law... …”
"My sister-in-law is throwing flowers and sachets for my brother-in-law. If I tell you, you won't be afraid of laughing out loud. Your father will definitely be angry." Gu Ruosu said rationally.
[It's just a pity that there is another beautiful man who can only be seen from a distance~] Gu Ruosu couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
"That's true...if dad knew that I not only took you out with my mother, but also encouraged you to throw sachets and flowers to other men, he would probably beat me to death..." Xie Hao'an touched himself guiltily. said the nose.
But maybe he was afraid of whatever he wanted. As soon as Xie Haoan finished speaking, Brown Tang opened the door with a group of people on the other side.
"Mrs. Duke, Sixth Young Master, the Duke said that there is nothing to see in this bustle. The guards haven't arrived yet, and something might happen outside. I want you to go back quickly." Brown Tang saluted Gu Ruosu and Xie Hao'an. , and then conveyed Xie Ruqing’s words.
"This...shouldn't your Duke be in the palace...how did he know that Xiao Liu'er and I are here? Besides, we just want to see what his junior brother looks like~" He said, Gu Ruosu took the clairvoyant eye from Xie Hao'an again, looked at Chu Ci on the street a few more times and said.
Before Gu Ruosu's clairvoyance could be withdrawn, she saw Chu Ci suddenly raised his head and looked straight in her direction, with a smile on his face, but it was bottomless and inexplicably scary.
Gu Ruosu threw the clairvoyance into Xie Haoan's arms, closed the window, looked back at Brown Tang with a guilty conscience and said:
"That...just...it seemed like...Chu Ci glanced at me..."
Upon hearing this, Hongtang hurried to the window and carefully opened a corner, only to find that Chu Ci and the others' carriages had already gone away. Nothing was wrong, but Hongtang still frowned and said worriedly:
"Madam, there is no need to worry. It should be fine. However, to be on the safe side, Madam, you'd better take the Sixth Young Master back with us. Brown Tang will truthfully report the rest to the Duke."
Gu Ruosu and Xie Hao'an looked at each other guiltily, and left obediently with Brown Tang.
However, perhaps due to fate, when the Xie family's carriage was speeding along the street, it passed by the Nanman delegation again. Gu Ruosu's carriage curtain was blown up by the wind, and he saw Chu Ci again, and Chu Ci Ci suddenly turned his head and glanced at Gu Ruosu, and then... Chu Ci disappeared from Gu Ruosu's eyes again.
[It’s been a long time no see, sister-in-law, you’re welcome...] Chu Ci followed the mission with a normal expression, but said in his heart...
Chu Ci secretly remembered Gu Ruosu in his heart, as if he was going to play another big game, but he didn't realize that just at the moment he was staring at Gu Ruosu, a man in black robes was also staring at him in the crowd. Fucked him...
