As the ceremonial officials who greeted Su Ren, Zuo Wu and Wu were both equal to Su Ren, but both of them knelt in front of Su Ren. Liu Qian saw it clearly, and scolded Zuo Wu and Wu Shu's ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart, how could he still look like a Zhonglang in Huainan with such a low voice, and today the face of their Huainan Mansion is lost.

Su Ren sighed and stretched out his hand to pull the two up: "Zuo Zhonglang and Wu Zhonglang are both people of great wisdom, if what happened just now was really done by the courtesy, do you two believe it?" Ay! Forget it, for the sake of the two of you, let's stop this matter. ”

Wu was handed over again: "Mr. Su is magnanimous and admired." ”

Su Ren smiled: "Don't be a sycophant, let's go to the city." ”

The people gathered outside the city gate saw everything, and they didn't care what was wrong with what had just happened, but at the moment when the official was beheaded, they felt that it was a mistake not to bring a piece of bread today. It is said that eating steamed buns with human blood will improve both courage and intelligence. Looking at the headless corpse, many people sighed.

Liu Qian tried his best to suppress his anger, and stepped forward to grab Su Ren's reins: "Mr. Su must have worked hard from afar, I am here to greet him on the order of my father, and I ask Mr. Su to forgive me, my father is entangled in affairs and cannot greet him in person, please bear with Mr. Su." ”

Su Ren was very polite, turned over and jumped off the white horse, his eyes only searched the crowd, and he ignored Liu Qian. Liu Qian, who was holding the reins of the horse, was a little embarrassed, and if he continued to hold the reins, he would become a horse boy of other people, if he let go now, his performance just now would be laughed at. Then he leaned up again: "Mr. Su? Please, knowing that Mr. Su came, my father vacated a separate courtyard for Mr. Su to live in. ”

Su Ren still ignored Liu Qian, turned around and said a few words in Hou Yong's ear, Hou Yong nodded hurriedly, waved the halberd in his hand, and a hundred soldiers surrounded the city gate. Those Huainan soldiers guarding the city gate were shocked, if it weren't for the fact that there was still the prince Liu Qian and a group of officials outside the city, the city gate would be light.

"This, Mr. Su, what does this mean?" Zuo Wu hurriedly stepped forward.

Su Ren had a dark face and stared at Hou Yong in the distance, until Hou Yong led someone to push a few people to the ground and tied them up, then he turned his head: "There are assassins!" ”

Those three words surprised everyone, assassin? Where did it come from? Whose people? Who are they going to assassinate? A series of questions appeared in everyone's minds, and they couldn't care about being angry anymore, and turned their heads to look at Hou Yong's side. Liu Qian also hurriedly turned his head and watched Hou Yong come over with three men. They were all dressed as peasants, with short jackets and trousers, a cloth bag tied around their waists, their hair disheveled, and their beards unkempt.

Hou Yong threw a few short swords in front of him: "Sir, they are all caught, these are from them." ”

"Wronged! I'm waiting for ......"

"Smack!" Before the man could speak, a heavy slap was slapped in the face, and a mouth full of blood with a few teeth. The assassin only felt that the world was spinning, and everything was ghosted, and it was as if the inside of his ears was in vibration mode, buzzing non-stop.

"Say! Who are you going to assassinate? Hou Yong's eyes were cold, and he swept over the faces of several people, and the legs of the frightened people were weak.

Liu Qian frowned, if he wanted to say that these people were far away, he might not recognize them, but now he could see the origin of these people at a glance in front of him. But he can't say it, he was caught red-handed with a murder weapon, even if he wasn't an assassin, he couldn't get out of it. Today is the day to welcome the messenger, and all the guards of the free soldiers are responsible, and three men dressed as peasants carry short swords in their arms, and no one should think that they should be good people.

Su Ren motioned to Hou Yong to stop: "General Hou, this is Shouchun, how to deal with the assassins should be handed over to Shouchun City Guard, we are guests, and we can't take the lead." ”

"Whoa!" Hou Yong didn't say much.

"Shizi, can you ask the city guard to come out and receive it?"

Liu Qian hurriedly recovered his expression, looked up and called out the city guard. Su Ren didn't feel embarrassed anymore, today's events have made Su Ren earn enough face from beginning to end, and he can guess who those guys with weapons are with his eyes closed, and the purpose of arresting them is to declare his arrogance, and the effect is very good.

As an envoy, how to maintain one's dignity requires skill, even if it is an envoy of the lower country, he can use some small wisdom to earn back face for his side when he is on an envoy, such as Lin Xiangru. As for how the King of Huainan will settle accounts with the King of Hengshan in the future, it is not something that Su Ren worries about, it is best for the two brothers to turn against each other and dismantle the platform one by one.

Sending Su Ren to another courtyard, Liu Qian returned to his prince's mansion in a rage. As soon as he entered the door, his anger could no longer be suppressed, cups, plates and bowls were thrown to the ground, and those servants who were waiting did not escape from the clutches of the devil, until the sky was full of messes and wails, Liu Qian's anger dissipated a little.

"Go, prepare the carriage and horses, this son wants to see his father!"

The housekeeper hurriedly agreed and went out to prepare. As soon as the housekeeper left, Menzi came in and reported: "Yu Shizi, Zhonglang Zuo Wu and Zhonglang Wu have been asked to see." ”

"What are they doing here? Look at the jokes of this Shiko? Liu Qian's anger was ignited again: "These two villains actually knelt down for that kid in front of so many people, where will we put the face of Huainan Kingdom?" I don't see the son of this world! ”

Menzi saw that Liu Qian was angry, and didn't dare to say much, Shi Li walked out, and just walked to the door, he was stopped by Liu Qian: "Let them come in!" ”

Zuo Wu and Wu were very important in the hearts of King Huainan, and they could be said to be the think tanks of King Huainan and were deeply trusted by Liu An. Although Liu Qian is the son of the world, these two people still have to give face.

Entering the lobby, Wu was taken aback by the situation inside.

Zuo Wu said angrily: "Why don't you hurry up and clean it up?" ”

The servants then got up from the ground and began to clean up.

Liu Qian sat in the main seat and didn't move, and raised his eyelids slightly: "The two Zhonglang don't accompany the envoy of King Hengshan in the other courtyard, what are you doing here in this world?" ”

Wu was saluted to Liu Qian: "Why did the prince humiliate Su Ren today? Last night, the king commanded not to be lazy, if these things affect the king's plan, I am afraid that the prince will not be able to afford it. ”

"Are you teaching this son a lesson?" Liu Qian sat up straight suddenly, looking at Wu Shu with a smile.

Zuo Wu hurriedly stepped forward: "The prince is angry, Wu Zhonglang is also anxious, today's matter is very unfavorable to us, I and the other two are here to discuss with the prince and see if there is any way to make up for it?" ”

"Make it up? How to make up for it? The incident has happened, so many people have seen it, our Huainan country's face has been lost by the two of you, and it won't be long before the whole world will know about it, so how can you make up for it? ”

"As long as the court doesn't know!" Zuo Wu said: "The county lord is in Chang'an, and the prince should immediately send someone to write a letter to the county lord to inform him of this matter, and ask the county lord to mediate between him, and he needs to make peace with Su Ren, as long as Su Ren doesn't say it, it will be useless for others to say more." ”

Liu Qian is also a smart person, when he did it, he just wanted to make Su Ren embarrassed, but things didn't go according to his plan, not only did he get involved, but he might even affect the entire Huainan Kingdom.

"You say, how to make peace with Su Ren?" Liu Qian motioned for the two to sit down: "Listen to the fifth brother, Su Ren loves money, do you think it's good to send some money?" ”

Wu was shaken his head: "It's true that Su Ren loves money, Su Ren is a businessman, and the world has been shaken in the past few years, and the city is not a problem, how much money does the prince think can make Su Ren shut up?" ”

"That's a woman! There are only two things in a man's heart, money and women, and women should accept it if they don't want money, right? ”

Wu was shook his head again: "Su Ren has a lot of ambitions, he came all the way to Huiji in half a month after his marriage, and he has never heard of him looking for a woman in a year, which shows that this person is not lustful." ”

"Money can't work, women can't do it, so what can we do?"

Zuo Wu and Wu were glanced at each other: "There are many ways to shut up a person, why should the prince hope for these mundane things?" Lei Langzhong is known as the first swordsman in Huainan, why didn't the prince ask him for help? ”

"You mean ......"

Wu was said: "Su Ren is wise and brave, deeply trusted by the emperor, such a person will become a big trouble for my Huainan country in the future, the fifth prince ambushed the assassin at the city gate, I am afraid that this intention, but I didn't expect Su Ren to know, now that Su Ren has entered the city, the prince must not miss this opportunity." ”

Liu Qian frowned and began to think: "That being said, you also said that Su Ren is the emperor's confidant, if he dies in our Huainan Kingdom, we will be even more inseparable!" Besides, he is still the envoy of the king of Hengshan, and the two countries are at war and do not kill the envoy, not to mention that the father and the king of Huainan are still brothers, this matter is probably inappropriate, right? Liu Qian glanced at the two of them: "Is it the meaning of the two of you, or the meaning of your father?" ”

Zuo Wu said: "It's the two of me, I'm afraid the king also acquiesced, otherwise the fifth prince would not be so reckless, as long as the person is dead, it is easy to find any excuse, after a while, I'm afraid no one will remember Su Ren anymore." ”

"Yes! The prince must not hesitate, Su Ren only has a hundred soldiers to escort him this time, it is a good opportunity, if he leads the army in the future, it will be too late! Wu was persuaded together, but Liu Qian never made up his mind.

After a long time, Liu Qian shook his head: "This matter is not suitable for the son of this world, the two of you can find the fifth brother or Liu Buharm, haven't the two of them always wanted to be loved by their father?" Then give them a chance, as for whether Lei is willing or not, it depends on their ability. ”

"This is a move for the prince to gain a firm foothold in the king's heart, and you just gave up?"

Liu Qian looked at Zuo Wu: "This matter is so decided, it has nothing to do with me whether things will be successful or not in the future!" Someone, send off! ”

Wu was and Zuo Wu came out of the Shizi Mansion. Wu was said to Zuo Wu: "What did I say? Our son is too shrewd, you and I will never persuade him! ”

"He's not shrewd, but stupid, if he doesn't have the protection of the king, he's a waste, far worse than the fifth prince, such a person is not suitable to be the son of Huainan Kingdom, I'll go find Lei Quilt."
