pet supervisor

Late at night, three quarters of the unitary hour.

Cangzhou, thousands of miles away from Kyoto.

A group of Houxia merchants traveling between Houxia Kingdom and Zhao Kingdom settled down in a small hotel in Cangzhou tonight.

The oil lamp swayed with the wind, and the Xia people chatted for a while, then returned to their respective rooms and prepared to fall asleep.

At the same time, a black shadow flashed across their room.

With one fatal blow, all the Houxia people fell in their own rooms with their eyes open.

The lights went out and the candles died down, everything happened quietly.

Mega country Kyoto.

"Report!"

Above the court, the Ministry of War sent people to report.

"Report to the emperor! Cangzhou [-] Li urgently report to the pond!"

Xue Jing ordered: "Submit it!"

After receiving the pond newspaper and reading it carefully, Xue Jing frowned. He put down the pond newspaper, looked at the officials below the hall, and pondered for a moment.

"Your Majesty, what did Tang Bao say?" Guan Shaoweng was the first to break the deadlock.

Xue Jing frowned and said, "Eight Houxia merchants were killed in Cangzhou, and one of them was Houxia's former national teacher and the teacher of Prince Houxia Kangbei!"

"what!"

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked. Later Xia was adjacent to Zhaoguo Cangzhou, and the river had never been invaded by water. However, since a few years ago, a series of measures implemented by Houxia’s former national teacher when he was in office, Houxia Kingdom has developed rapidly. So far, its strength has grown. Not to be underestimated.

Now that the former national teacher was killed in the territory of Zhaoguo, it will inevitably cause disputes between the two countries, improper handling, and even cause the two countries to fight each other.

What didn't happen in the previous life, why did it happen this time?

Xue Jing faintly sensed that not everything can be under his control. This feeling is too bad. Without the foresight, it means that the road ahead that he thought was clear and clear suddenly becomes foggy and cloudy. stand up.

"The incident happened strangely. Xu Po, the governor of Cangzhou, couldn't find the murderer. Now that Hou Xia wants to bring someone to blame, Zhenyuan General Wu Weiping will arrive in Cangzhou in a few days!"

"Qizou Your Majesty, according to the old minister, it is better to send someone to sue for peace. Later Xia's military power is strong, so don't go head-to-head!" The Minister of the Ministry of War said.

Xue Jing looked at Zhang Jian: "Zhang Aiqing, what do you think?"

Zhang Jian said: "My Majesty, in the opinion of my humble minister, we can first negotiate peace with Houxia, find out the murderer who killed the eight Houxia people, wait and see what happens, and see Houxia's purpose clearly before making the next step. At the same time, the Hebei Dao General is standing by and ready to be dispatched at any time!"

Zhang Jian's words hit Xue Jing's heart.

"But there is no one available in the Ministry of Rites..." Xue Jing stood up and took two steps, "Who is in charge of the Ministry of Rites now?"

"Back to the emperor, it is Ye Ke who is second in the new division."

Xue Jing thought for a moment, "I will pass on my order. Mao Yanheng from the Ministry of Officials will take the post of Secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he will be appointed as the envoy of the peace talks. The head of the Ministry of Rites, Ye Ke, will be appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Rites. The two of you will rush to Cangzhou to have peace talks with Houxia."

Zhang Jian's ears twitched, feeling something was wrong, let's not mention that Mao Yanheng is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and let's talk about Ye Ke, a little boy who has jumped from a sixth-rank master to a fourth-rank servant of the Ministry of Rites, what can he do?

But Zhang Jian just thought so in her heart and didn't express it.

Xue Jing had his own calculations. If someone deliberately killed those Hou Xia people in order to cause disputes between the two countries, then this peace talk would definitely be a disaster.Although he has replaced the official positions of the officials involved in the court with his own people because of the last imperial examination fraud case, but the important positions are still firmly in the hands of Prime Minister Right and Qin Taiwei, and there are not many people he can use. many.

Last time he observed carefully, although Ye Ke behaved carelessly, he was as careful as dust, not to mention his literary talents, Xue Jing also discovered through some details that he knew martial arts, and now that there is no one in the etiquette department, Ye Ke is also Xue Jing. Give him a chance, if he performs well and cultivates him, he will definitely become his right-hand man. If he does not perform well and dies in Cangzhou, it is because of his own lack of ability, no wonder others.

I hope this peace talks will go well...

Several Qianniuwei sat around the stone table to eat.

"Hey, have you seen that Eunuch Lian clearly? Why do I feel like a woman!" Li Si pawed scrambled eggs with green peppers twice and asked the people around him.

"What's the matter, third child, have you taken a fancy to Eunuch Lian?"

"What are you talking about! I like women!" Li Si stood up in fright.

"Don't tell me, I saw Eunuch Lian at close range when I was on duty in Gongzheng Palace. Hey, hey, red lips, white teeth, those peach eyes, and that waist..." The man gestured twice, The body also twisted, "No worse than a woman!"

"I don't think other eunuchs are as good-looking as Lian Gonggong!" Another person said.

"Who said, that little Shunzi from Shanggong Bureau is also good-looking, prettier than those palace daughters!" said Zhang Wu who was sitting inside.

Qian Niuwei, who was squatting on the ground, shook his head, "I've seen that little Shunzi before, isn't he as good-looking as half of his father-in-law's finger?"

"It's an exaggeration, Xiao Shunzi looks good!" Zhang Wu retorted. To be honest, he had never met that Eunuch Lian at all.

"Even the father-in-law is comfortable to look at! His facial features are bright, but he is very harmonious with an oval face, and he doesn't look like a girl. Xiao Shunzi is too demonic, with an evil spirit, like a little girl."

Zheng Yansheng sighed: "Enough, you guys, talk endlessly!"

"Old Zheng, what are you doing so seriously? Tell me, do you think Xiao Shunzi is prettier or Lian Eunuch is prettier?"

Zheng Yansheng did not speak, took two mouthfuls of rice, raised his head and said with a smile: "I think you are the prettiest, and you are the most suitable for my appetite!"

"Hey, old Zheng, don't mess with me, I don't have a broken sleeve..." Qian Niuwei, who was speaking, opened his mouth and looked behind Zheng Yansheng in the middle of his sentence.

It wasn't just him, the Qianniu guards beside him all stopped and looked out the door, and the small courtyard fell silent for a moment.

Zheng Yansheng looked back suspiciously. Outside the courtyard, Xiao Lianzi was holding a carved food box, and he was too embarrassed to come in.

"Our family is looking for Zheng Yansheng..."

Everyone in the courtyard looked at Zheng Yansheng. Zheng Yansheng coughed, put down his bowl and chopsticks, stood up, shook his clothes, and left with Xiao Lianzi under everyone's gaze.

There was a moment of silence, and the next second, the small courtyard became noisy.

"Old Zheng and Eunuch Lian know each other? Then it's not good for us to talk so much behind people's backs just now!"

"That's Eunuch Lian, he's so good-looking, and he's been well-raised at first glance! You're lucky!"

Li Si pushed Zhang Wu who was in a daze, and asked him with a smile, "How is it? Is Xiao Shunzi good-looking or Lian Gong-gong?"

Zhang Wu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "Eunuch Lian!" It's not that Eunuch Lian is so beautiful, they have seen a few beauties inside and outside the palace where they were Qianniuwei, but they have never seen Eunuch Lian. This appearance is between a man and a woman, just right, that fair and clean face, the skin is like fat, those peach blossom eyes are as sad as autumn water, it is too cute!

"If that's the case...it's okay to cut off the sleeve..." Zhang Wu muttered to himself, and he immediately envied Zheng Yansheng in his heart.

"What did you say? Didn't hear you!"

"No...it's nothing! Go and eat your meal!"

Zheng Yansheng and Xiao Lianzi went outside. Xiao Lianzi was very excited when he saw the savior in his previous life. He didn't know how to speak up. He was afraid that he would scare Zheng Yansheng too much. After all, Zheng Yansheng didn't know what happened in his previous life.

At the same time, Zheng Yansheng was also looking at Xiao Lianzi. He knew the Heavenly Official Liuyishu, no, it should be said that everyone in the palace knew everyone, but it was the first time he had such a close encounter with this Lianzi. Talking with the father-in-law, looking at it so closely, I don't blame the brothers for discussing it, even the father-in-law is really good-looking.

"What's the matter, father-in-law?" Zheng Yansheng asked.

Xiao Lianzi raised the food box, then put it down again.

He hated himself for being clumsy with his tongue, for not being able to think of how to thank Zheng Yansheng.

Mr. Zheng, our family feels that you have worked tirelessly in the palace, sticking to your post to protect the safety of the Holy One and the peace of the palace. We specially send you snacks and condolences...

Bah, bah, bah, don't the other Qianniuwei not work hard, and don't stick to their posts!What's the matter with only giving it to him alone!

Mr. Zheng, our family fell in love with you the first time we saw you, and we started to make friends with you. We specially send you something...

Bah, bah, bah, let's make friends!If Brother Yansheng thinks that I have ulterior motives, I will not be able to clean up even if I jump into the Yellow River!

The palms of the hands holding the food box were sweating slightly, but Xiao Lianzi didn't say a word.

Zheng Yansheng saw that Xiao Lianzi's fair face was a little blush, and his eyes were staring at the ground in a daze. He looked very playful, and couldn't help curling the corners of his mouth: "Eunuch, what are you thinking?"

Xiao Lianzi blurted out: "Brother Yansheng..."

not good!

Xiao Lianzi quickly covered his mouth, Zheng Yansheng was also stunned.

"Did my father-in-law recognize me before?" Zheng Yansheng asked.

There was a step in front of him, and he couldn't go down for nothing: "My lord is right, our family used to be on duty in front of the car, and my lord helped our family, I'm afraid my lord doesn't remember?"

Nonsense chant!Who is afraid of whom!

Most of the Qianniuwei of the Palace Second Team were transferred from the front of the car, so it must be true!

After Zheng Yansheng listened, he said meaningfully "Oh" and nodded: "So that's the case, it's just a matter of little effort, father-in-law is nothing to worry about!"

He didn't work at the Cheqian Office, so why would he help... Eunuch Lian probably knew that the Second Palace Team was transferred from the Cheqian Office, so he made it up.

Zheng Yansheng saw Xiao Lianzi's eyes wandering in all directions because of lying, and the way his toes were rubbing back and forth on the ground, so he couldn't help feeling soft.

This Eunuch Lian is really cute.

Xiao Lianzi raised the food box in his hand: "Our family knows that Qianniuwei's food is not very good, so we brought some food for the adults, and hope the adults don't dislike it!"

Xue Jing and Xu Guang walked all the way here from Yongxi Palace in secret, and saw Xiao Lianzi with red cheeks flying, holding up the food box in his hand and handing it to Zheng Yansheng. Zheng Yansheng stood up straight, took it with both hands, with a smile on his face.

The hibiscus flowers behind are blown by the wind blowing in the courtyard, dancing lightly, pink and white, as delicate as a peach, as beautiful as a kite, against this pair of green people, it is pleasing to the eye when viewed from a distance...

No wonder!

Xu Guang only felt his scalp go numb, and secretly called out, "Odd! Not good!"

Looking secretly at Xue Jing, Xue Jing's eyes were calm and his face was ashen.

Xu Guang clasped his hands together in his heart, silently "mourning" for Zheng Yansheng.
