The most powerful minister in the world

As the new year is approaching, Jingxi always inquires about the progress of the negotiations between the two countries. If his Majesty had not issued a strict order not to allow Jingxi to participate, otherwise he would have to go to Daohonglu Temple to observe.

The negotiations between the two countries have reached a feverish stage, but Duan Wuya, the envoy of the Chen State, is like trying to make peace with the situation, always delaying the progress. He does not object to or agree with the conditions proposed by the Southern State, and only harps on one sentence to the east and the other to the west.

Zhao Xiang, the Minister of Honglu Temple, has been even more upset and worried these days. His Majesty is pressing hard, and the court is busy with the New Year's banquet. Everything is rushed together. These things are like a It's like a huge mountain, so heavy that people can't breathe.

Zhao Xiang had been running around in the snow for the past few days and occasionally felt cold. At this time, he was holding his forehead in the middle hall of Honglu Temple and coughing non-stop. It had been snowing heavily for seven or eight days in a row. Although there were breaks in the middle, it never cleared up.

"What on earth does Duan Wuya want to do? Could it be that he just wants to stay in our southern country to celebrate the New Year?!" Li Sanli complained, blowing his beard and staring.

Zhao Xiang sneezed and hit his forehead and said: "Who knows what kind of medicine he bought in the gourd? He said a lot of good things, but in each of the articles of association, if he feels that our conditions are too high, he can say it, and then Let’s discuss it, but he just hangs on to us like this, has no idea of ​​his attitude, and is simply a bastard, Ah Qiu~”

"Isn't that right? He led the people from the mission out to drink again today. If this continues, we may not be able to reach a result through negotiations after the New Year. Let's just report to His Majesty and stop negotiating directly. Anyway, they The second prince is in our hands, what do we have to fear?"

Zhao Xiang cleared the phlegm in his throat and said: "Tomorrow we will adopt high-pressure measures and decide the tone with a single taper. If he is still so specious, then we will unilaterally announce the termination of negotiations!"

When Jingxi had nothing to do, he built a snowman outside Piyong Hall. After all, he was still a young man in his late teens, and he was always impatient. No matter how cold the weather was, his hands would not feel cold.

"Old man Yan, do you think it looks like I'm pinching you?"

Yan Sheng just came out and saw the snowman's face pinched by Jing Xi. He couldn't help but clicked his tongue and said, "Which King Kong in the temple are you pinching?"

Jingxi pouted and said, "This is you!"

Yan Sheng shook his sleeves in disgust. He was originally thinking of admiring the snow for a while, but now he lost interest. Jing Xi looked at his expression, then looked at the snowman he made, and thought it wasn't that bad. Bar?

At this moment, Liu Huangying walked over slowly holding an umbrella. She might have slipped if she wasn't careful, and she might have fallen to the ground. If that were the case, the snow would have been shaken up based on his tonnage.

"It's snowing so heavily, Master Jing. Why are you standing here without an umbrella?"

"Hey~ Fatty, you came just in time, come and see my masterpiece."

Liu Huangying held the umbrella between the two of them and stared at the snowman for a while with her single-lidded eyes, as if thinking about what the thing in front of her was.

"Um...a monster with a human body and a pig's head?"

Jingxi's eyebrows jumped when he heard this, and he suddenly picked up the snowman's head and threw it at Liu Huangying. Liu Huangying couldn't avoid it and hit him face to face. She said aggrievedly: "Master Jing, what are you doing? I'm weak. If you do this, I'll die." What should I do if I get cold?!"

"That's what you deserve, you are the one with a human body and a pig's head!"

After Jingxi scolded him, he left. Liu Huangying muttered for a while, then quickly took an umbrella and chased after Jingxi, "Master Jing, wait for me. I have something to tell you."

Liu Huangying was so anxious that she stepped on the ground and sat down on the ground with a bang. Jingxi was so shocked that she turned around and covered her stomach and laughed: "Fat Dun, please take it easy. From now on, the old man will talk in the house again." I thought the earth dragon turned over and ran out, let's see how you explain it."

"Yan Lao doesn't know that. If the earth dragon really turns around, he can figure it out."

Jingxi smiled and went over to help him up and said, "Do you really think of him as a god? After all, he is still an old man."

"Hey, Mr. Jing, I won't allow you to talk about Yan Lao like that. Yan Lao is the leader we respect!"

"Okay, okay," Jingxi patted the snowflakes on his body, "It's getting dark and the snow is heavy. Let's go back home and have something hot to talk with me."

"That's good. By the way, Mr. Jing, keep this banknote."

Jingxi looked at the thousand taels of silver notes in Liu Huangying's hand with some confusion. He remembered that he only gave Liu Huangying 500 taels at that time. How could there be an extra five hundred taels?

"I said, Pangdun, the five hundred taels I rewarded you are just for you. What do you mean by giving me an extra five hundred taels now?"

"Master, is this the result of your five hundred taels?"

"Hey~ This sounds strange. What do you do for a living?"

Liu Huangying took out an exquisite pottery handle from her arms and said, "I set up a pottery factory, specializing in making these small things. The master is good at his craftsmanship and sells a lot. Those five hundred taels count as your investment."

Jingxi opened his eyes and punched him: "I'm looking down on you, Fatty. How about I invest more in you and you save me some money?"

Hearing this, Liu Huangying's eyes lit up, and she immediately stuffed the banknote she had just taken out into her arms, then stretched out her hand: "How much does Mr. Jing plan to invest?"

Jingxi slapped his hand off and said, "I don't have any money with me now. I'll give it to you when I get home."

"Okay, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry," Liu Huangying said as she glanced ahead, "Master Jing, Chief Mu is coming from the front."

Jingxi raised his eyes and saw that Mu Sheng, dressed in white in the wind and snow, was the same color as the sky and the earth. His phoenix eyes and sword-shaped eyebrows showed a sense of aloofness.

Mu Sheng also lowered his head. He didn't raise his head until Jing Xi's cloud-walking boots came into view. He bowed politely and said, "Is the Second Young Master going back to your home?"

Jingxi saw that Mu Sheng was still wearing thin clothes in this ice and snow. He had heard that the old man had told him about Mu Sheng's life experience and experience, and he had no ambiguity with him in his heart. He even wanted to settle the past and become friends with him.

At this time, Jingxi also smiled and said, "Hey~ since we bumped into each other, why don't we go to my house to visit?"

Mu Sheng refused and said, "I don't dare to disturb the second young master. I still have something to ask Mr. Yan for advice. I'll go ahead and take my leave."

Just when Mu Sheng passed by Jing Xi, he grabbed his arm. Mu Sheng thought he was going to make trouble again, so he pulled him to his side just as he was about to speak.

Jingxi hooked Mu Sheng's shoulder and said, "Do you see why you are stingier than me? Or are you afraid that I will harm you at home?"

Mu Sheng frowned and thought for a moment, taking off Jing Xi's shoulder and bowing: "Then I'd rather be respectful than obey."

"Okay, let's go, I'll treat you to bird's nest and vermicelli soup."

As Mu Sheng followed Jing Xi, he smiled to himself: Don't you just want to show off in front of me to make me feel ashamed? You are looking down on me too much. I will go with you to see you. What tricks can there be!
