There were not many people on the street, and Mengbai reacted quickly, but he still didn't catch anyone, and when Mengbai's subordinates reported the matter, Mengbai almost exploded his lungs. After all, Qiuzi is a small country and does not have a complete bureaucracy, and most of the affairs of Qiuzi City are actually the responsibility of Mengbai. Now he is still on an errand to greet the messenger, but he has made such a fuss, which is really difficult to explain.

At this time, Duan Ping, who had suddenly disappeared in Duan Ye's eyes just now, came back, and there was a blood mark on the right side of his face, but his expression was extremely solemn.

"Your Excellency. As soon as the assassin drew his bow, he followed, but he was still too late to stop it, and asked for forgiveness. In addition, the lowly position had been hidden, but the assassin still had a hidden arrow, and the lowly duty could not prevent it, and he was not good at concealing weapons, so he could not capture it, and the assassin must have been hiding in a private house, which was not available to the lowly position. ”

Duan Ping said calmly, but everyone sounded thrilling. It was obvious that the two of them must have had a hard fight just now, and Duan Ping's face was scratched. And in this way, the assassin can still hurt Duan Ping, it can be seen that he must be a master.

The matter of arrest is naturally not something that Duan Ye can do. Seeing this, Meng Bai hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, Lord Duan, Meng Bai promises that Qiuzi will be investigated to the end, and the murderer will be caught and give an explanation to the adult." ”

Since this is the case, it is inconvenient for Duan Ye to pursue more, so he nodded and agreed. Qiuzi is still in a state of peace, and it is impossible for him to deliberately assassinate him. The only explanation is that the people who don't want to make peace agreements do it. At this time, Jiang Yu said: "Since Lord Duan is frightened, why don't you go to Guan Yi to rest and see my king later, how about it?" ”

"Huh?" Duan Ye glanced at Jiangyu with some vigilance, and then said word by word: "Eat Junlu, be loyal to the monarch, saved by Miss Lai, Duan Ye is not injured, how can he lie indoors and ignore state affairs?" Everything is still the same, and the foreign minister will go to see the king of Qiuzi. ”

Jiang Yu no longer persuaded her, and stretched out her hand and said, "Lord Duan, please!" ”

"Please, two!"

There were no more waves along the way, Duan Ye entered the palace of King Qiuzi, but he saw that the decoration was extremely luxurious, and the guards were all wearing armor. Those who have seen the Forbidden City will not be cold to the pomp and circumstance of Xiao Wang in the Western Regions.

The greeting ceremony was still dominated by Mengbai, but at the end of the steps, I saw a middle-aged man wearing a gown, wearing a crown, and looking solemn, obviously the king of Qiuzi.

The king of Qiuzi is pure, the person who was born is tall and big, and his face has his own majesty, Mengbai is introduced, Duan Ye is a foreign minister, and Bo Chunyao salutes to Fu Jian, the king of Great Qin, and the two sides let each other, and the ceremony is completed, and the palace is entered.

After greetings, Bo Chun smiled and said: "Lord Duan is young and promising, and now he is a celebrity in front of the adults under the festival, Qiuzi City has admired the heavenly family for many years, and now the admiration can be expressed every day, and I hope that Lord Duan will have a lot of good words in front of the festival." ”

Duan Ye waved his hand again and again, and said: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, now the king is wise and promising, and the people are abundant, which is caused by the virtue of the king, although Daqin passes through the Western Regions, but he is to serve people with virtue, govern the country with etiquette, and hope to prosper peacefully with the countries of the Western Regions. ”

As he spoke, there were already two pretty maids coming over with plates, and Duan Ye lifted the cloth on it, but saw two pairs of jade bibs, one handle as he wished. Sure enough, on this occasion, gift-giving is inevitable.

"Oh, this is the best Hetian jade, right?" Duan Ye sighed, "How can Duan Ye be virtuous, how can he receive such a great gift?" ”

"Where, where. Duan joined the army and was both civil and military, and he was the pillar of the country in the future, and my king admired him and wanted to make friends, so Lord Duan didn't have to refuse. Mengbai also came to persuade. Silk Chun just twisted his beard and was silent.

"No shirk, no shirk." Duan Ye rubbed his hands, "I'll take it, thank you king." Duan Ping, put it away! ”

Bo Chun and Mengbai were dumbfounded, the Central Plains people pretended to excuse themselves, they had seen a lot, but this gentleman pushed it, and then took it with a big thorn, and his face was really good. It was the jade, although she couldn't see her expression clearly, her eyes were bent into crescent moons.

"Good!" Bo Chun slapped his face, "Since Master Duan is such a wonderful person, Xiao Wang will no longer go around in circles." Xiao Wang heard that His Majesty the Heavenly King of the Heavenly Dynasty had a million-strong army marching south, intending to unify the south of the Yangtze River. ”

Duan Ye secretly complained in his heart, what is this silk pure is not good, but he just mentioned this. Of course I know that this Fu Jian went to lose all his old capital all at once. It seems that current events will not change much, and it is certainly not okay to tell lies, because it will not be able to hide it for long. But telling the truth is inevitably despised by the turtles.

After thinking about it quickly, Duan Ye cautiously snorted and said with a smile: "I, the Son of Heaven of Great Qin, was ordered by the heavens, and I am naturally the lord of the world. ”

Bao Chun laughed twice, and said: "That is the case, it is natural that Bao Chun is a courtier of His Majesty." It's just that the king of Chechnya once invaded Qiuci in the past, Qiuci was caught off guard, and the country was almost ruined, but fortunately, thanks to the unity of the soldiers, the people were united, and Xiao Wang personally supervised the battle, so he drove the thieves out. It's just that in the middle of the battle, Xiao Wang's back was wounded by arrows, and it hurt faintly when it was windy and rainy, and it was a long way to go to the capital, so I was afraid that I couldn't stand it if I couldn't get to the capital, so it was better for Xiao Wang to send the prince on his behalf, how about it? ”

Does this begin to talk about conditions? Duan Ye was awe-struck in his heart, "It is natural for the prince to go to see His Majesty. However, Your Majesty has a wide range of seas and loves his courtiers, but he is willing to get close to his courtiers and talk about the general trend of the world, so as not to be deceived by corrupt officials and corrupt officials. ”

Said tactfully, but clearly refused, Bo Chun's face was a little unsightly, but he immediately smiled: "That Bo Chun goes, but it should be, but Guizi always has to leave someone to garrison, don't hide it from Lord Duan, although Xiao Wang has three sons, in addition to the prince Boguang, the second son Bo Xi is idle, three years ago by Xiao Wang rushed to Bojin to practice, the youngest son is only five years old, how can he deal with political affairs, this ...... Among them, I hope that Lord Duan will understand. ”

"It doesn't matter." Duan Ye said unhurriedly, "The king can send someone to Bojin to summon the second prince back, and at the same time set off for the capital, the second prince of Chendu can be more than a month at most, there is a jade girl and Lord Mengbai in charge, plus my Daqin will also leave an army to maintain law and order, I don't think there will be chaos in Qiuzi, what does the king think?" ”

"This ......" Bo Chun changed color, and was about to get up, but when he saw Meng Bai and Jiang Yu constantly glaring at him, he forced himself to suppress his anger, raised his glass and smiled reluctantly: "Lord Duan, this king's back pain is unbearable, and he can't stay for a long time, so he uses this wine to catch the wind for adults." ”

After saying that, he didn't wait for Duan Ye to answer, he did everything he could, and then got up and left, walking like the wind, where there was a little injury.

Duan Ye picked up the wine cup with a smile and drank it slowly, as if this inferior wine was a glass of Lafite, and let the liquid slowly go down his throat, experiencing the taste.

It's beautiful. Duan Ye smiled brightly.
