The Young Emperor and the Fearless

On the way from Donghe Town to Nudi City, they deliberately slowed down their journey due to Heli's injury.I walked all the way and stopped all the way, and when I arrived at the destination, it was several days slower than expected.

As soon as he entered the gate of Nudi City, Yuan Zhimi had a disagreement with Heli.

He Li wanted to find Zhang Chang directly, but Yuan Zhimi wanted to find the prefect of Nudi City first to rest for a day.

Yuan Zhimi said: "I just entered the city gate, and I handed over my badge to the soldiers. Presumably, the eunuch will know that I am coming soon. Why don't we go directly to the door and hand this matter over to the eunuch, he is familiar with this place, It works much faster than us."

He Li said, "Who is the prefect here?"

Yuan Zhimi said: "He Mao, the prefect of Nudi City, a Jinshi of Fengyu for 28 years, is the prefect appointed by the late emperor. Last year's New Year's Eve, he offered a toast to you, do you remember?"

He Li said: "There are so many people who pay New Year's greetings and toast every year, how can I remember every one of them."

But he didn't remember, but Yuan Zhimi did.

Yuan Zhimi said: "He Mao and Zhou Fu have been good friends for many years. They share the same goals and behave almost the same. However, Zhou Fu thinks too much and is often a shadow of a snake, while He Mao is very principled and upright. When it comes to communication and entertainment, what should I do? Mao is even better."

He Li said: "Oh? How can you see it?"

Yuan Zhimi said: "You know a thing or two when you have met this person."

The appearance of the prefect's mansion is magnificent, with two stone lions on the left and right of the entrance, five steps high, and two gates guarding both sides of the gate.Seeing Heli's team coming from afar, Menzi greeted him and said, "How many distinguished guests have come from afar?"

He Li got out of the carriage first, and Yuan Zhimi jumped off after Ju Xie.

Yuan Zhimi is the best at dealing with officials.He said: "He Mao is in the house?"

Menzi said: "Master He has prepared some high-quality tea, welcome you all."

The soldiers guarding the city gates have special personnel to contact the prefect, and if there is any situation, they will report it as soon as possible.Yuan Zhimi is an important minister of a country, almost under one person and above ten thousand people, even if he appeared suddenly, He Mao could not neglect him.

Just as the door was about to announce, He Mao greeted him from inside.

This He Mao is about the same age as Zhou Fu, at the age of [-], he is very powerful.The face of the national character is serious, and when the official uniform is put on, it reveals a frightening official authority.

This is different from Yuan Zhimi. Although Yuan Zhimi has a high position and authority, he usually acts like a fool and has no consciousness of being a prime minister at all. He does not show his waist badge to show his identity, and no one will associate him with the prime minister.

He Mao and Yuan Zhimi met in the palace, and He Mao was extremely impressed with him, because Yuan Zhimi always wore the same light green robes when the only ministers met every year, and this person's appearance was somewhat feminine She is so charming, especially when she squints her eyes at people, it makes one's heart jump.

It's not because he has a pair of attractive red phoenix eyes, but because of the half-smile and half-smile in his eyes, as if he wants to strip someone naked and make a mockery.

I haven't seen him for more than half a year, but Prime Minister Yuan is still the same.

He Mao looked solemn and dignified, cupped his hands and said: "Prime Minister Yuan, you are here, I am sorry to welcome you from afar."

Yuan Zhimi said: "There's no need to greet us far away, it's almost noon, just prepare wine and food to welcome us."

He Mao: "..."

Because they came so suddenly, He Mao just changed into a solemn official uniform, before the cook had time to prepare the entertaining meal.He Mao was worrying, and overheard a servant asking if he was going to Chang's house for a banquet.

He Mao didn't take the Chang family's invitation to heart at all, and he didn't have to care about the Chang family's intention of inviting him, he could go or not as he wished.But this time, it happened just right, although it was impolite to invite someone to a banquet at another house, but since this person was Yuan Zhimi, it didn't matter.

He Maodao: "If Lord Yuan doesn't mind, let's go to someone else's house for dinner."

Yuan Zhimi said, "Another family?"

He Mao explained: "It's the Chang family, a big money maker here. A few days ago, the Chang family sent someone to invite me to the banquet today. It's better to come early than coincidentally. Mr. Yuan, I don't have any dishes at my house, but The Chang family not only has prepared good wine and good food, but also has an opera troupe from the capital, and they can even listen to the opera after dinner."

This is He Mao's wishful thinking, which not only saves the Chang family's face, but also avoids the trouble of starting fire.Yuan Zhimi understood, a sly light flashed in his eyes, and the corner of his mouth curled up and said, "Very good, I like to listen to operas."

He Mao and Yuan Zhimi had already discussed it, and they were going to leave.

As for He Li, when they started talking, Ju Xie pulled them to the side of the carriage, and He Mao didn't notice them.

Ju Xie said: "The medicinal materials on this journey have been used up. I need to go to the pharmacy to replenish some herbs. Because of the rush on the road, although your wounds have healed, but they have not healed thoroughly. There are still scars left on the scabbed wounds. You must Take the medicine off as soon as possible. You can rest first, and I will come back later."

He Li said: "It's already noon, you should rest for a while, go find the medicinal materials after eating, it's not too late."

Ju Xie said: "I need a lot of medicinal materials, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find them, if I don't go there early, I won't be able to come back before dark."

"..." He Li was speechless for a moment, and turned his gaze to Shi Qi and Su Yu who were tidying up the horses. The two of them drove the carriage alternately, and they were also extremely tired. Write it down and ask others to help you buy it?"

Ju Xie said: "Some are fine, but there are several medicinal materials, I have to find them myself."

He Li said: "Then write down the names of the other medicinal materials first, and you will have lunch with us, go after you have had enough rest."

Ju Xie chuckled, rubbed Heli's hair, and said, "Okay."

**

He Mao asked his servants to take away the horses accompanying Yuan Zhimi. After the carriage moved away, the two people outside were exposed.

He Mao thought he was wrong, so he rubbed his eyes. After a while, he came to his senses and spoke tremblingly: "Master Yuan, this, this is..."

Yuan Zhimi smiled slightly, and calmly put his hands behind his back.

He Li turned his head, nodded and said, "Master He."

He Mao bowed and saluted, and after recovering, he said cautiously: "How many people are you accompanying, do you want to deceive others?"

Heli nodded.

He Maodao: "Then what should I call you?"

At this time, Su Yu interjected, "We all call you Mr. Li."

He Mao had some impressions of Su Yu. Every time he had an audience with the emperor, he was almost by the emperor's side. He Mao first said to Heli: "Mr. Li."

After calling, he said to Su Yu again: "Master Su."

Those who followed He Li were not simple people. He Mao covered everything and asked everyone, including Ju Xie and Shi Qi.

With reconciliation, He Mao gave up the idea of ​​going to Chang's house for a meal, and changed his words: "I must be tired after a long journey, so please sit in the mansion first, hurry up, please come in."

He Mao then ordered his servants: "Go and invite the chef from Manxianglou, and bring some special dishes, as soon as possible."

The servant took orders and left.

Yuan Zhimi joked: "Master He, why, didn't you say to go to Chang's house?"

He Maodao: "The dishes of Chang's family can't compare to the special skills of the chef of Manxianglou. You are all rare customers. You must try the special dishes here. It will definitely leave a lasting impression on your mouth and leave you with endless aftertaste."

He Li picked up a sensitive word, frowned and said, "Chang family? But the Chang family who runs the largest bank here?"

He Mao didn't know why he knew about the Chang family in Nudi City, and said in confusion, "Exactly."
