I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

It is the most tormented in restaurants.

The aroma of the food makes others eat it in big mouthfuls, but Artunis can't. Xue Rengui forbids him to order food, so he can only swallow his saliva while holding back.

For some reason, he now feels that the aroma of the food here is particularly attractive.

A little bit, a little bit soaked into his throat and stomach, especially if he hadn't filled his stomach before coming here, it was even more tormenting.

Wait until the guests in the restaurant have finished eating.

Artunes was also blinded from hunger.

He thought he was even hallucinating that the most handsome man he had ever seen came out of the kitchen.

He himself thought it was ridiculous, and he didn't know why this hallucination appeared in front of his eyes.

She obviously likes women, but why...

He's still thinking about it.

Xue Rengui, who was sitting next to him, raised his hand and pushed him: "Be sober, Da Lang has come out."

Da Lang?

Artunis was too hungry, his brain was a little dull, and it took him a while to realize that the big man Xue Rengui was talking about was the Zhengyang Duke he had always wanted to see.

He followed Xue Rengui's gaze.

It was the handsome man who he thought was only in hallucinations.

Hiss...it turned out to be true.

Artunis stood up, awkwardly followed behind Xue Rengui, and walked in front of Yin Xuan.

The image in my mind collapsed further.

People's impressions of high-ranking and respected people are always biased towards the elderly, and Artunis is naturally no exception.

In his mind, Duke Zhengyang is a gray-haired old man with a cane, and since he is the most honorable person in the Tang Dynasty, he is naturally stern and pretentious without anger.

Why... so young and so good-looking.

He looked much younger than his own son.

"Da Lang, I brought the Persian envoy." Xue Rengui bowed and opened his mouth respectfully.

Artunis also imitated, bowed in a dignified manner, and greeted: "Artunis, the Persian envoy, has met Zhengyang Gong of the Tang Dynasty."

Persian?
Many diners who hadn't left raised their ears.

Yin Xuan nodded, but the first sentence he spoke made Artunis a little unresponsive: "Eat it."

"Ah?" Artunis was a little dazed, not knowing what kind of greeting this was.

"Didn't eat?" Yin Xuan raised his eyebrows and looked at Xue Rengui.

Xue Rengui nodded.

Not only Artunes didn't eat it, he didn't either.

He couldn't do the kind of thing that puts strict demands on others but relaxes the demands on himself.

"Then you wait." Yin Xuan waved his hands, stood up and went back to the kitchen, and quickly walked out again, holding two pieces of bread in his hand, and threw them to them.

"Eat and talk."

Artunes held the bread, at a loss, what... what's going on?

Xue Rengui was used to it, he stuffed a small piece of bread into his mouth, waited for it to be swallowed, and then whispered about what he had seen and heard in Persia.

Artunis couldn't get in the conversation, and his Chinese level couldn't keep up with Xue Rengui's speaking speed.

Yin Xuan nodded again and again, his eyes shining.

"So in the end I only want minerals, and the right to trade in Persia?" It's just... After hearing the things Xue Rengui asked for in the end, Yin Xuan frowned slightly.

Xue Rengui's heart skipped a beat: "Da Lang, could it be that I..."

Yin Xuan waved his hand: "When you go back to Fengchao later, you will be given a meal by Wu Jue... Oh, no, let's discuss it with Wu Jue, some things need to be changed."

After saying that, Yin Xuan paused and looked at Artunis: "Is there no objection from Persia?"

Artunes didn't expect the topic to come so suddenly, he swallowed the bread that was still in his mouth, and almost choked it in his throat, and nodded while gently rubbing his chest.

After a while, he finally recovered his breath, and said, "I, Persia, am willing to pay tribute to Tang Dynasty, but... what additional conditions Duke Zhengyang needs to impose depends on what you propose."

Yin Xuan lightly tapped the table: "Don't say these official words, it's meaningless."

"I'm not a condition, do you understand?"

Artunes took a deep breath and smiled a little forcedly.

"Don't worry, it's not a request from a lion." Yin Xuan nodded the table again and continued with a smile, "It's nothing more than adding some types of trade."

Xue Rengui secretly sighed.

He thought that the request he made was already very ruthless, but now it seems... very ordinary, even his own boss is not satisfied.

What Dalang said just now clearly meant to go back to Fengchao to be scolded by Wu Jue.

This statement is not false.

At the thought of being scolded, Xue Rengui has three big heads, and Wu Jue's mouth is extremely tricky and vicious. Of course... the best result is to be scolded.

If you don't scold yourself, but sit on your knees for a long time like last time, it will be really terrible.

Artunis clenched the bread tightly, he was a little nervous, and smiled more forcefully: "Then Da Tang extended a helping hand to me..."

Yin Xuan waved his hand and shook his head: "Don't tell me about this."

Artunes was taken aback, his eyes widened, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Xue Rengui.

what happened?

When you were in Persia, that was not the case anymore.

Are you ready to vomit now?

Yin Xuan frowned: "Don't use this kind of look, and don't be surprised. The court's affairs have to be decided by the court. I won't, and I can't promise you anything on behalf of the court."

Artunes was puzzled.

Isn't Lord Zhengyang the most honorable person in Datang?
Why is he unwilling to make a decision? Yes... What he feels from Yin Xuan is that he is unwilling. This Lord Zhengyang not only doesn't care about power, but also seems to be somewhat against it.

Or... to contradict the Tang court?
Xue Rengui interrupted quickly, he thought about many things, but forgot this one alone: ​​"I have notified the imperial court, and I will bring you to see His Majesty tomorrow."

"At that time, whether or not Datang will send troops, and how many more troops will be added, will be decided."

Artunis nodded, continued to grab the bread, enjoyed it by the way, and asked if he could have a meal in the restaurant later, the aroma was really alluring, and he had never smelled anything comparable to it.

嗏

Xue Rengui didn't give him this chance, and after talking to Yin Xuan about something, he took Artunis away and placed him in a residence near Phoenix Nest. He also arranged for a ranger to teach him some things. .

Then... Xue Rengui went to be scolded by Wu Jue.

night.

For Artunis, it was also a novel experience.

What surprised him the most was lamps.

The first thing You Xiaer did when he entered the room was to turn on the light. The originally dark room was instantly filled with light, and the orange light fell down, which shocked Artunis severely.
