King's favor is hard to do

Li Guangning's complexion suddenly turned ugly.

"Naturally, Western Man has always been ignorant and barbaric, and there are even more unsavory legends. They are probably based on rumors—otherwise, like me, a beautiful man like me, wouldn't he commit crimes long ago?"

In fact, the rumor that Su Rucheng is a good man is true, but the others are fabricated by Han Yuan now - anyway, no one will go to the Western barbarians to check whether their master is good at teasing men.

Han Yuan was talking nonsense in a serious manner. Seeing that Li Guangning's face was getting more and more gloomy, he could hardly hold back his smile.With a cough, he said,

"Your Majesty, I will take my leave first. Lord Du will 'lead the team' to meet this barbarian young master in the evening. There must be many things to do."

Especially adding the accent on the word "lead the team", Han Yuan saluted and turned around to leave the room.He held back and turned a corner before he couldn't help laughing.

"Lord Han!"

But he didn't want to, Wang Li's call came from behind him.He hurriedly adjusted his facial expression and turned his head pretending to be serious.

"Director Wang, what are your orders?"

"Your Majesty's oral order—the list of officials attending the peace talks tonight will be changed, and Mr. Du is not among them. Lord Bai will be the host of the talks!"

"..."

The smile on Han Yuan's face suddenly disappeared.

……

"What? Your Majesty really said that?"

Bai Jiaoran looked at Du Yuzhang in embarrassment, "Master Du, this..."

"It's okay, just go."

Du Yuzhang looked calm,

"You have been in the prime minister's mansion for so long, and you have followed the whole process of the peace talks. I know it, and you know it all. You are also from the Imperial Academy, and your conversation and knowledge are excellent. Are you afraid that he will not succeed as a young master of the West?"

Bai Jiaoran was still a little hesitant, but the matter had come to this point, so he had no choice but to nod in agreement.

In the evening, Bai Jiaoran changed into a standard dress, and led the peace talks officials to "Drunk Tonight" - as the largest and most luxurious restaurant in the capital, it took over the task of banqueting the Ximan envoys without hesitation.

The banquet is extremely luxurious, and each person has a small table filled with delicacies.There are several young ladies on both sides of the guest seat, all dressed up in various styles, and they are the singing girls tonight.There are also several musicians hidden behind the curtains, playing lightly and gently.

Bai Jiaoran sat down at the main seat, swallowed a mouthful of foam.Although I grew up with officials and eunuchs, I am familiar with such occasions, but this time, the matter is of great importance.It is such a big scene to lead for the first time, no wonder he is a little nervous.

"It would be great if Master Du was here..."

Bai Jiaoran was talking to himself, feeling a little depressed.But suddenly, a piece of "Fixing the Storm" sounded - such a romantic occasion, it is usually a soft little song.Ditty songs with ulterior motives like Ding Feng Bo would not be chosen.

Sensing something unusual, Bai Jiaoran looked up.But he saw a white-clothed musician sitting behind the curtain, his figure looming as the wind blew past.

Master Du? !

Although the musician's eyes were covered with silk, covering most of his face.But after being together for so long day and night, how could Bai Jiaoran not be able to tell that this is Du Yuzhang?

He opened his mouth to shout, but stopped.Du Yuzhang was dressed as a blind musician, so he naturally didn't want people to know his identity.

"That musician, that's a masterful performer. Please come over and tell—"

Having said this, Bai Jiaoran realized that his tone was too respectful, which seemed very strange.He hastened to add, "My officer, there are many rewards!"

A smile appeared on Du Yuzhang's lips.Holding the flute in his hand, he touched it like a blind person, and saluted Bai Jiaoran.At this time, the barbarians had not yet arrived.Bai Jiaoran handed over the silver, Du Yuzhang saluted him again, and said with a smile,

"Xiaomin, thank you Lord Bai for the reward."

"Master Du, stop making fun of me!"

Bai Jiaoran asked in a low voice,

"Why are you here? Isn't this a rebellion?"

"Your Majesty just forbids me to attend the peace talks as an official, but he didn't say that I'm not allowed to play a song. Why, Master Bai doesn't want to see me?"

"Of course not! With Master Du here, I feel much more at ease..."

Bai Jiaoran's voice became softer, as if a little embarrassed.

"But I'm still worried that His Majesty will be furious and will convict you."

"Then let's punish you. Isn't it rare for His Majesty to be angry? If you look forward and look backward, you can't do anything." Du Yuzhang smiled, "Besides, I also want to see what kind of person the other party's young master is. .”

Just as he was talking, there was a sudden communication outside the door,

"Western Man peace talks mission has arrived!"

"coming!"

Du Yuzhang still returned behind the curtain.As soon as I sat down, I heard a group of people walking in.

"My young lord Su Rucheng, send my greetings to Special Envoy Dayan!"

When Su Rucheng opened his mouth, Du Yuzhang, who was blindfolded, was taken aback.

This name is too familiar... Where did I hear it?
