Has Your Majesty abdicated today?

In the blink of an eye, it has been more than two years since Qi Chu came to Wei State. In order to play the role of Mr. Haoyuan's junior, Mr. Haoyuan taught him some tricks, oh no...it is the Taoist knowledge of feng shui.

Standing on the shoulders of giants, with the halo of being a national junior and junior brother, Qi Chu is now considered a well-known alchemist in the aristocratic circle of Wei State. The Feng Shui of Anzhai alone made him a lot of money. He sometimes even figured that if he didn't go to college when he returned to his original world, he could still make a living with this skill.

Lingzhou is located in the south of the Yangtze River, and the peach blossoms bloom very early. In mid-February, the peach blossoms bloomed early. Along with the peach blossom letter, there is also news of Dayu's mission.

This day, Qi Chu helped the Minister of Rites to settle down the house, and while chatting with him, he heard the news that Dayu's mission was going to Beijing in a few days. He was so shocked that he didn't even attend the afternoon banquet, so he hurried back to the National Teacher's Mansion .

The spring scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is extremely beautiful. Tang Ning's painting skills have flourished in the past few days. She draws pictures of Taoyao maids for the maids in the back garden of her house every day. She is both flirting with girls and painting.

When Qi Chu found him, there were still many maids queuing up in the corridor. Tangning raised her eyelids and glanced at Qi Chu who was sitting next to him, and said to the maids lining up behind, "You all go down."

The maids knew that he had a sympathetic temperament, so they hesitated to go down. Tangning gave them a gentle smile and said, "Be good, let's all go down."

The maids were blushed by his domineering and gentle words, and they all bowed shyly and retreated.

After the maids left, Qi Chu hurriedly told Tangning about the news about Dayu's mission that he had heard from the Minister of Rites. Unexpectedly, Tangning was not surprised. Qi Chu frowned suspiciously, "You know?"

Tang Ning nodded and explained calmly, "I didn't tell you because I was afraid that with your cowardly nature, you would not be able to eat or sleep because of this crap, and you would scare yourself out of illness. Don't worry, I've already dealt with this matter. I've inquired for you, and you'll be fine."

Qi Chu said weakly: "Now I know... If you don't explain the matter clearly today, I won't be able to eat or sleep right away. Do you know who the person Dayu sent this time?"

Xie Yu would not personally come to the Southern Dynasty to arrest him just because he failed to assassinate him, right? ! ! !

Tang Ning frowned and recalled, "It seems to be someone named Qian Shizheng. I also asked someone to check his resume. He was single-handedly promoted by Xie Fan. He has only recently become a cabinet bachelor. What year did you go through? Many, this Qian Shizheng is a governor in Langzhou, and has never been back to the capital. This mission is his first job after entering the cabinet. I also checked the roster of his entourage, and they are all minor officials below the fifth rank. , the kind who don't go to court on weekdays, I probably haven't seen you before."

Qi Chu was frightened by Xie Fan's poisonous assassination, he said worriedly: "You said that Qian Shizheng was single-handedly picked up by Xie Fan, this time when he comes to Wei Guo Xie Fan, will he let him take his hand to find out my whereabouts? .”

Hearing this, Tang Ning frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "I don't think so. Xie Fen assassinated you in order to be the emperor, so he will definitely send his confidants to this kind of secret deed, and it is absolutely impossible for officials in the court to intervene in it." ... On the contrary, he was afraid that you would appear in front of Dayu's courtiers, so all the envoys sent to the Southern Dynasty this time had never seen you, in order to prevent you from rushing to these people and self-destructing your identity. If you let me pass you, I will definitely think it was a conspiracy by the Southern Dynasty, and naturally I won't believe you."

Only then did Qi Chu feel relieved, and said: "What you said makes sense, I am worrying unnecessarily."

Tangning patted his head and said with a smile, "Just be careful. Even if Xie Fan came to Nanchao himself to arrest you, he wouldn't dare to do anything wrong on the border of neighboring countries."

Qi Chu nodded.

Tangning saw that his clothes were disheveled and his hair was a little frizzy, so she knew that he must have hurried home and didn't even take part in the banquet at the servant's house, so she handed him a cloud cake and said, "Eat something , Suppression of shock."

Only then did Qi Chu feel a little hungry. He took the cloud cake from Tangning's hand and swallowed it whole. The cake was stuck in his throat, so he picked up the spout of the pot and poured water into his mouth.

Tang Ning couldn't bear seeing Qi Chu's behavior of chewing peonies, burning qin and cooking cranes so arrogantly, so she turned around and went to color in her new painting of ladies.

After eating and drinking, Qi Chu's mood gradually improved, and his mind began to function. He said to Tangning, "This time, the Dayu delegation came to Beijing to discuss the opening of ports for trade. What are you going to do?"

Both of them had read the original book, and Xie Yu wanted to discuss the opening of the port with Nan Chao at this time, so he naturally turned his idea on Nan Chao.Now that he has stabilized the power of the Northern Yu court, he is basically no different from the emperor except that he has not ascended the throne. Now he must have moved his mind to unify the north and the south. Apart from discussing trade, he is probably sending a mission to spy on the real situation of the southern dynasty. mean.

Since Tang Ning was helpful in the game mission of Xie Yu's ascension to the throne, right now, he should get Nanchao to open the treaty ports, and by the way, recognize Dayu's mission, so as to prevent Dayu from attacking Nanchao and taking him in the same pot.

Hearing this, Tang Ning didn't stop his paintbrush, as if he was very focused, he said calmly, "I can do whatever I want, I will find a way to advise the empress at the treaty port, and as for the mission, I will naturally have time to spare." See you."

Qi Chu couldn't bear it and said: "The Empress..."

Although Qi Chu didn't see the empress very often, he could see the empress's trust in Tangning. Even he was rewarded by the empress a few times for bearing the title of junior junior in the country.

Although it was for the game mission, it was a little ungrateful for them to help Xie Fan secretly.

After Tangning's drawing was finished, he stood up and threw the brush into the bucket, looked at Qi Chu and said with a sarcasm, "Young man, don't get too involved in the drama, this is not the real world."

Before Qi Chu could argue, he turned around and left.

Qi Chu stared at Tangning's back for a while, then shifted his gaze to his painting. Tangning painted the maid's hair and body in bright red, and the maid in the painting couldn't tell the difference between her head and her body. The difference seems to be a bit beyond recognition.

Qi Chu sighed in his heart, no one can be ruthless than grass and trees, oh, except Xie Fan.

When Qi Chu slandered Xie Fen here, the Northern Dynasty mission had almost reached the border of Hezhou.

Xie Yu is now Dayu's talker, and in principle, he cannot go to the Southern Dynasty to take risks. This time he insisted on going to the Southern Dynasty, so naturally he could not leak the news, so he hid in Qian Shizheng's carriage along the way, and even the accompanying officials Didn't even know he existed.

After arriving in Hezhou and crossing the Yangtze River, it was the territory of the Southern Dynasty. If Xie Yu wanted to live with them in the posthouse of the Southern Dynasty, he would not be able to hide it from the missionaries who followed him.

Qian Shizheng felt that this matter should be planned in advance, so when he was resting at the Hezhou Posthouse, he went to discuss it with Xie Yu.

Xie Yu knew his reason for coming, so he comforted him and told him not to worry. He didn't tell others about this journey, because he was afraid that the news would leak out, and some people in the court would feel restless again. Tell everyone who he is.

Qian Shizheng saw that the grand master had already planned in his heart, so he didn't say anything more.

The mission's trip to Nanchao went smoothly, and they arrived safely in Nanchao in late February.

After the Southern Dynasty arranged for them to rest in the post house for a few days, the empress personally held a grand welcome banquet for them. All officials above the fifth rank in the capital were invited to accompany them. Invited list.

This banquet was at the level of a state banquet. In order to show the prestige of the country in front of the people of the Northern Dynasty, the Ministry of Rites of the Southern Dynasty made every effort to hold this banquet in style. It is necessary to let these rough men of the Northern Dynasty know what elegance is!What a style! ! !

It took a full month to prepare for the food alone, and there were all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas.

Tangning knew that Qi Chu had always liked delicious food, so she suggested that he pretend to be a little Taoist priest beside her and go to the banquet with him.

But even though Qi Chu knew that none of the people from Beiyu who came this time knew him, he was still a little worried in his heart, so he refused with a sad face.

When it was time for the banquet, Tangning put on her Taoist clothes and planned to go to the banquet alone. Just as she was about to get in the car, she heard footsteps hurriedly approaching from far behind her. When she turned her head, she saw Qi Chu standing behind her with a rather ashamed expression .

After all, he succumbed to the temptation of delicious food and followed Tangning to the banquet.

At the banquet, after the officials from the Southern Dynasty had sat down, the officials from the Northern Dynasty arrived under the guidance of the senior officials.

It seems that the Northern Dynasty also attached great importance to trade. More than 20 officials came up in the hall. When these people visited the empress in the middle of the hall, they looked at the vast area.

Qi Chu hid behind Tangning and quietly looked at the leading official. He was relieved when he saw that it was a middle-aged man with a white face and long beard.

He is worrying unfoundedly, Xie Chen will not come in person for such a small matter of trade between the two countries.

Just as she was thinking, Tangning suddenly turned around and asked softly, "Do you know this Qian Shizheng?"

Qi Chu shook his head and said, "I haven't seen..."

Tangning gave him a reassuring look and said, "Can you rest assured now?"

Qi Chu felt a little embarrassed and twisted in his seat, smiled and nodded.

After the Northern Dynasty envoys were seated, the banquet began. The attendants had no food, so Tangning moved to the side and asked Qi Chu to sit in front of him and eat with him.

Although it was a bit inappropriate to do so, Tang Ning had greeted the Empress before the banquet, and Qi Chu was not an ordinary waiter. Everyone in the Southern Dynasty knew that he was the teacher's younger brother, so they didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Qi Chu was eating happily, when he suddenly had the premonition of being spied on, looked up, and saw the person who had appeared in his nightmares countless times, staring at him with fierce eyes.

Qi Chu was pinned in place by his eye knife, his body went numb, and his chopsticks shook and fell on the table.

His mind went blank, he looked at Xie Chen opposite and was speechless.

Sure enough, he still found him. Did he come to Nanchao to do it himself because Heguang failed to assassinate him?

Tangning sensed that something was wrong with Qi Chu, she turned her head and saw that his face was pale, as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

He followed Qi Chu's line of sight, and saw someone in the Northern Dynasty Mission looking at Qi Chu with his eyebrows frowned...

Has this person seen Yuan Bao before?Tangning frowned, and inadvertently blocked Qi Chu behind her...

There was only a "click", and the chopsticks in the man's hand were actually broken in half by him.
