"Foreign envoy Chu Ci today led the envoys of the Southern Barbarians to bid farewell to His Majesty the Emperor of Dayong. I wish His Majesty the Emperor of Dayong a long life and may the friendship between Dayong and the Southern Barbarians last forever and be as strong as a rock~"
Three days later, at the gate of Kyoto City, Nanman's return vehicles and gifts from Emperor Dayong were lined up in a long queue. The reception officials headed by Xie Ruqing handed Chu Ci's gift list decided by the emperor. After Chu Ci respectfully accepted the gift list in his hand, he faced the direction of the Dayong Palace with the other Nanman officials and loudly thanked the Dayong Emperor using Nanman etiquette.
"May the friendship between Dayong and Nanman last forever and be as strong as a rock. I wish the envoys a good journey. I entrust the envoys to say hello to the leader of Nanman on behalf of Emperor Yong~" Xie Ruqing and others also thanked the Nanman officials in an orderly manner. He raised his hands and signaled to the Nanman envoys in unison...
The officials of the two countries followed the rules step by step. Although the rules were numerous and boring, the officials of the two countries did not feel bored because of this. On the contrary, they felt that there was something wrong with the satisfactory negotiation result. Very happy...
It was completely different from the tense situation when the envoys from the two countries first met.
…
…
After the tedious etiquette, the officials of Dayong watched the Nanman vehicles leave the capital of Dayong step by step and embark on the road back...
"Great, this matter has finally been solved for me. I'm so tired these days. I can't say a few words to you literati, so I have to make gestures with Dugu Old Fox every day... I'm really exhausted..." Chuan Mr. Deng, who was wearing an official robe, saw that the group of people finally left, took off his official hat, put it in his hand and said.
"Thank you for your hard work, General Deng. Thanks to General Deng for holding the position for us this time. If it weren't for General Deng's presence, our momentum would not be comparable to those tall and powerful Southern Barbarians~"
"Whatever this is, it's all what I should do. Although I can't help you literati negotiate with them, but, I am very familiar with helping you to calm down the situation~"
"Let me tell you, you literati are really working hard. You obviously don't want those southern barbarians to take advantage of you, but you can still bring up a lot of nonsense, and there are a lot of saints and saints... Since ancient times... I really admire you so much!"
"Especially Duke Yan and Mr. Yue, this is the best. Those people will be very scared when they see you open your mouth~" After saying that, Mr. Deng began to look for Yue Xiao and Duke Yan Xie Ruqing in the crowd. I looked for him back and forth several times, but I couldn't find him, so I started to question:
"Huh?! Where are Yue Yue and Duke Yan?! Just now...just now I saw the two of them going through the process with me...how...what...I blinked...people just Gone?!”
Mr. Deng’s voice was not too soft, and his words were listened to by everyone. After hearing Mr. Deng’s words, everyone also had questions... In the blink of an eye... why did these two people disappear... ...could he be doing something big without telling them...
Suddenly there were many suspicious voices in the crowd, chirping like sparrows on the tree that refused to stop, and at this moment, an inconspicuous official said:
"Just now I seemed to see officials from the Ministry of Rites coming to see Duke Yan and Mr. Yue. Maybe the people from the Ministry of Rites still have some issues regarding the regulations that they need to confirm with the two adults..."
"Oh...I see...it's the Ministry of Rites again...the Ministry of Rites always does this kind of thing, and has to figure out every detail..."
"..."
"..."
After hearing this, everyone nodded their heads as if they suddenly understood, and then began to discuss the so-called "excellence" in the Ministry of Etiquette...
No one noticed at all that there was sudden movement in the woods beside them...
——
(I am your super cute dividing line~)
There are several natural unmodified woods near the city gate of Kyoto. The branches and leaves are dense and shady, and they are lush and green. Birds are chirping at high places and low places. There are paths followed step by step by people walking in the woods. Most of them were passers-by who were eager to take a shortcut. It was here that Xie Ruqing's manpower disguised itself as a caravan that was in a hurry to deliver goods but was actually resting under the shade of the trees because of the hot weather.
They didn't know who the person they were trying to deal with was, nor did they know what the person's purpose was in hiding his whereabouts in Kyoto. They were only responsible for cooperating with their immediate superior, Manager Mo, to bring him here without anyone noticing. Hidden under the mezzanine of a large box and sent into Kyoto...
"Boss Mo~" The people who were resting under the shade of the trees did not dare to stare at the surrounding woods for a moment. Finally, after waiting for who knows how long, Boss Mo took two ordinary-looking people with him. After walking over, everyone immediately stood up and said.
"Well, you all should have a good rest. Hurry and pack your things and get ready for the road. If you are late and the buyer is dissatisfied, don't blame me for deducting your wages~" Manager Mo nodded and said.
Immediately, he waved to the two people behind him and led them to a big box. He ordered his men to open the big box, revealing one piece after another of luxurious and exquisite fabrics. , Mo Guanshi took matters into his own hands, without caring about the value of the cloths. He threw them all into the arms of one of his subordinates like wild vegetables, and then groped around the big box again. Finally, under the gaze of several people, a mezzanine large enough to hide an adult was opened...
Manager Mo looked at the two people wearing the human skin masks he had prepared and said respectfully:
"You two gentlemen, please feel aggrieved. I don't know why, but the inspections at the city gate have been strict recently, so I had to make this decision..."
"We have prepared two identical large boxes. You two can hide in them separately and have to wait for a while until you reach the silk and satin shop opened by my master..."
"Don't worry, don't worry. We both understand how difficult it is for you. We will do whatever you want us to do..." said one of the ordinary young people.
After saying that, the young man took the initiative to hide in the box without being pretentious at all...
Another young man followed suit and hid in the box with the help of everyone.
Guanshi Mo was very happy to see the two people so worry-free. At that moment, he immediately had the silks restored to their original positions and asked them to set off to Kyoto. Guanshi Mo himself also immediately put on a human skin mask. And put on the coarse cloth clothes that he had prepared long ago, and mingled with the team as a caravan worker...
——
(I am your lovely dividing line~)
"Stop and show me the way..."
"Stop, there are some things in the basket, open it for me and take a look..."
"Open the sedan curtain for me. I don't care who is inside, I'm not afraid!"
"We are all acting under the emperor's order. Recently, there are rumors in the world that the remnants of the previous dynasty want to sneak into Kyoto and assassinate His Majesty!"
"This is a serious matter! I would rather kill the wrong person than let him go!"
"I don't care who you are, just cooperate with me! Otherwise! Don't blame us for arresting you!"
Manager Mo and others lined up the inspection team with the caravan and goods in an orderly manner. Looking at the serious situation ahead, they were inevitably a little nervous...
"My boss...why is this situation getting more and more wrong...the information I inquired about earlier...didn't say that the inspection soldiers had to rummage through things..."
"Why do you think...they are here for us..."
"It's just expected... The master has already told us that this job will be difficult to do this time... Maybe someone above wants to hinder us..."
"Then what should I do..."
"What should we do... we can only take it one step at a time... The most popular people in this door are some merchants and some noble children who have returned from hunting... There are always some tempered people among the noble children. How can those people be willing to Let them search you...just wait and see...there is always a chance to fish in troubled waters..." Manager Mo said in a low voice...
And just as Steward Mo said, when Steward Mo and others were about to be questioned and inspected, several fast horses suddenly galloped from the suburbs, preparing to rush directly into Kyoto. When the soldiers saw this scene, they immediately killed them. Stopped~
"Stop! Stop! Stop, stop! Where are you from! How dare you ride a horse!"
"Hush!"
"Of course we are from Kyoto. Where are you from? Where are you guards? How dare you stop us today?!" Liang Liuqi rode a tall black horse with several of his good friends. The good brother said with thanks.
"We are the guards of the Imperial City Guard Department! We have been ordered by the emperor to interrogate you here! Who are you! Why don't you dismount and accept the interrogation! Otherwise, we will be treated as the remnants of the previous dynasty!"
"Bold! How dare you compare us with the remnants of the previous dynasty! Where do you have the courage!"
"Young Master, I am the Sixth Master of Baron Wenxuan's Mansion!"
"This is the second master of Mr. Xu's house! His father is now the Minister of War!"
"Also, these are all sons of high-ranking officials in the court!"
"This girl is the legitimate daughter of the current Prime Minister Xie! The Duke of Yan who just brokered the contract with the Nanman is this girl's biological grandfather!"
"Where did you get the courage! How dare you stop us! How dare you call us the remnants of the previous dynasty! Do you believe it or not? We will file a complaint against you all to the Imperial City Department! You will have to walk around in pain!" Liang Liulang Said arrogantly!
After hearing what Liang Liulang said, the guards of the Imperial City Division all looked at each other, not knowing what to do...
But in the end, these raw melon eggs were still unwilling to "submit" to these powerful people, so they pinched their necks and said:
"I don't care who you are! You all have to get off your horse and get checked!"
Liang Liuqi and Xie Yi looked at each other, and then Liang Liuqi got off his horse in full view of everyone, walked up to the guard very arrogantly with his hands on his hips, held his head high and said:
"I won't let you check! What can you do to me! If you have the ability, hit me! Hit me!"
"You...don't bully others too much!" the guard said.
"Who did I bully? Tell me! You want to check me! That's a distrust of me and my friends! You bully me and my friends are just the same!"
"You! You! Challenging the imperial power! I'm going to arrest you!" said the guard.
"Hey! I have a bad temper! How dare you slander me! You really think that I am a vegetarian!"
"If you have the ability, just arrest me! Just arrest me! I want to see if it is you who keeps me locked up for a long time, young master! Or you who stay in this position for a long time!"
After saying that, Liang Liuqi waved to his good brothers again, and everyone immediately dismounted, complaining about Liang Liuqi and himself...
"That's right! What do you people mean! Our family has been loyal for generations! We have been loyal to the royal family! We will go through fire and water without hesitation! What do you mean by this! Are you slandering our innocence?"
"That's right! My eldest brother is from your Imperial City Division! Tell me! Who is on top of you! I want my eldest brother to go find the one on top of you and ask! Are you dissatisfied with us people? Or what about us? You were caught treasoning!"
"That's right! My aunt and my whole family are His Majesty's ministers! My grandfather did a lot of work on the Nanman mission! Don't you people give my grandfather face?" He said to them with his hands on his hips in gratitude. !
"..."
"..."
All of the people brought by Liang Liuqi were eloquent and unafraid of trouble. You and I made these guards unable to resist with every word. As a result, they were about to carefully interrogate Manager Mo and others. The guards were afraid that something might happen to Liang Liuqi and the others next door, and there would be no way to end it!
So, he just looked through the things at random, asked where they came from and where they were going, and let them in. He quickly stopped what he was doing, and one of them ran to inform their superiors, and the rest of them all ran over. Liang Liuqi goes over there to maintain order!
"What's the fuss about! What's the fuss about! This is the emperor's order!"
"So what if you are of noble birth! You still have to obey the emperor's orders!"
"Hey! We don't obey the emperor's orders! You slander us! It's obviously your bad attitude! You scared me and my horse! You guys are confusing right and wrong! You are shameless!" Liang Liuqi acted rogue, which can be said to be One man is a guard against ten thousand men, but Liang Liuqi, who was standing in the C position in the crowd, said this to them without a blushing face and a heartbeat.
"You! You! You dandy boys!" the guards said unbearably.
"What happened to the dandy? What happened to the dandy! Dandy is a human being too! That's what you think! Catch me if you can!"
"That's right! You have the ability to catch us!"
Liang Liuqi and other friends echoed every word, challenging the fragile little nerves of these newcomers all the time...
"Okay! You asked for it! I will arrest you right now!" Finally, a very young and dark-skinned guard stood up unbearably and was about to arrest Liang Liuqi and others!
When Liang Liuqi and others saw that the guard had touched him, they quickly looked back in the direction of Xie Yi, and then fell to the ground with a "pop", and then began to cry:
"There is no justice! There is no justice! The guards are beating people! The guards are beating good people!"
"Ouch! My bones! Ouch! Broken!"
Xie Yi immediately ran to Liang Liuqi's side without fear of embarrassment, and knelt down at Liang Liuqi's feet with a snap, holding a handkerchief, and began to cry:
"Ouch! Brother Liang Liu, you are so miserable!"
"I just went out hunting! I got beaten!"
"The guards are unreasonable! They bully honest people!"
"Go and call the imperial doctor! Brother Liang Liuqi has fainted!" When he said this, Xie Yiyi winked at Liang Liuqi immediately, and then Liang Liuqi immediately shouted:
"Ah! I'm dizzy!" Then he lay on the ground and pretended to be "si"
Everyone: "..." [Where does this scoundrel come from...]
Looking at Liang Liuqi's poor performance, Xie Yi couldn't help but twitch his mouth. But when he thought of the glorious "mission" given to him by his grandfather, he immediately covered his mouth with a handkerchief and continued to cry:
"Brother Liang Liu! You si...you are so dizzy! Oh my God! Someone please make the decision for us innocent playboys!"
Liang Liuqi's other friends looked at Xie Yiyi's performance and immediately understood what Xie Yiyi meant. They quickly gathered around Liang Liulang and began to cry shamelessly...
"You! You bully an honest man! He just fell down on his own! I just touched him!"
"You have wronged me!" The guard who had touched Liang Liulang just now was crying when he saw their poor performance, so he had no choice but to shout to prove his innocence!
"I didn't exert any force at all!"
The other guards also understood that Liang Liuqi and others were deliberately looking for trouble, so they quickly grabbed the guard who was out of control, for fear that something would happen again...
And just when the scene was very chaotic, these frivolous bosses finally appeared in response to everyone's expectations...
"What are you doing! What is going on! Get out of here!" The unlucky boss still didn't know what kind of dandy these little guys under him were messing with, so he still said very forcefully at this moment...
When the unlucky boss saw Liang Liuqi, one of the four playboys in Kyoto like Xie Haoan, lying on the ground, his legs immediately softened...
What kind of luck does he have... Last time, he was dealing with the quarrel between the boy from the Deng family and Liang Liuqi in the street... This time, he was dealing with the matter of Liang Liuqi again... He was so obedient, stir-fried leeks with green onions...
"What the hell is going on... Are Mr. Liang Liuqi okay..." The unlucky boss looked at Liang Liuqi who fell on the ground and hurriedly came to Xie Yi's side and asked.
Xie Yi glanced at the hapless boss with a simple and honest face, then at the caravan with the big box that had disappeared at the city gate, then wiped his tears and said:
"The people under your command scared Brother Liang Liu and even touched Brother Liang Liu...Brother Liang Liu was given...given...by your people..."
"Kunned!? No way! This, this, this! The people under my command are all new! They didn't do it on purpose!
They don’t know the identity of Mr. Liang Liu! Oh, hey...I..." Before the unlucky boss could finish thanking him, he immediately patted his thigh and said without tears...
"No, no! I fainted from fright... It's not that serious..." Xie Yi looked at the unlucky boss who was about to cry and said quickly.
"Ah... I fainted from fright... Then... what should I do..." The boss suddenly experienced the feeling of going from hell to heaven and said immediately.
"Just...maybe...I need your help to find a stretcher...to carry Mr. Liang Liu to the hospital..." Xie Yi thought for a while and said.
As soon as Xie Yi finished his words, the unfortunate boss immediately spoke:
"Okay, okay! Let's cooperate immediately! Someone! Come and find me a stretcher! I will personally carry Young Master Liang Liu to the hospital!"
"But... they haven't checked yet..." a soldier said still unwilling to give up.
"Ignorance! Who is Young Master Liang Six? Who are the friends of Young Master Liang Six? They look like remnants of the previous dynasty!"
"Why don't you hurry up and find me a stretcher! Why do you need me to teach you about this kind of thing? If you fail to succeed, you will fail! You will need me to wipe your butts every day!"
The unlucky boss immediately reprimanded his subordinates and rushed the recruit who said the wrong thing to find a stretcher, for fear that Xie Yi and others would remember the recruit's appearance and come back to trouble him. …
…
…
"Come on, come on! Slow down..."
"Slow down, slow down! Don't be anxious!" The unlucky boss carefully carried Liang Liuqi onto a stretcher and rushed to a nearby hospital without stopping. While everyone was staring at the road ahead seriously, Liang Liuqi carefully opened his eyes, glanced at Xie Yi, and asked with his eyes:
[How about your brother Liang Liu’s acting skills? Not any worse than your little uncle, right~]
Thanks means: [Not bad, not bad! Our brother Liang Liu’s acting skills are particularly good! ]
[Brother Liang Liu, please add chicken legs later! ]
[Must be added! Although I don’t know what you, little girl, are going to do, but who told you to hang out with me and my little uncle~ Of course I have to help you~]
[Hehehe~ Many thanks to brother Liang Liu~ I am also entrusted by others~]
[We can talk about it later. I will explain it in detail to Brother Liang Liu~]
[…]
[…]
Liang Liuqi and Xie Yi exchanged looks back and forth several times. Finally, they stopped communicating the moment they stepped into the door of the medical clinic and continued to play their roles carefully...
While Xie Yiyi pretended to be as worried about Liang Liuqi as everyone else, he recalled in his mind what happened when his grandfather called him to the study early this morning:
"Granddaughter, thank you for meeting your grandfather. Good morning, grandfather."
"Well, get up."
"Yes, thank you grandpa." Xie Yi said obediently.
Xie Ruqing glanced at his granddaughter and then said, "I heard that you have been very restrained by your mother recently."
"Well... yes, but my granddaughter understands that my mother is doing it for my own good..."
"Want to hang out?"
"Think!" Xie Yi said immediately and subconsciously.
"Since you want to, then help your grandfather to do something. After you are done, your grandfather will tell your mother personally and ask her not to restrain you."
"Ah...Okay! What is it, Grandpa?"
"It's nothing, I just want you to find a few people, go out to play, and then go to the gate of the east city to cause a scene, so that the guards will focus all their attention on you..."
"Let a caravan with many big red boxes fish in troubled waters and sneak into the capital smoothly."
"Oh~Grandpa, are you embezzling?! There is stolen money coming in?! Isn't this bad~_~" Xie said subconsciously without thinking, and then he immediately covered his mouth and said angrily.
"Is our Xie family short of money?"
"It seems there is no shortage..."
"Don't worry about these things. Just do as I say."
"Your uncle is a playboy. You have been following him since childhood, and you should be very familiar with Liulang and others of the Liang family. You can go to them for help... They are the best at making trouble..."
"Remember, how your little uncle usually does and makes trouble, you can follow Liang Liulang and the others... Don't be afraid, as long as no one is killed, your father and I will clean up the mess for you..."
After listening to Xie Ruqing's words, Xie Yi stopped asking what exactly Xie Ruqing wanted to send to Kyoto. Instead, he stood obediently and listened to Xie Ruqing finish what he said...
And in the end, after receiving Xie Ruqing's promise, Xie meant more for freedom... Bah! For your own filial piety! I vowed to take over this matter! Guaranteed immediate success...
…
…
And at this moment, Chu Ci, including one of his cronies who was in the caravan, had successfully sneaked into Kyoto and entered a courtyard arranged by Xie Ruqing...
