Dressed as Wu Dalang, Jinlian please respect yourself

Chapter 674 The plan has changed (1)

Patriarch Chu smiled and nodded.

"Since you've said that, what else can I say, then I'll go back and prepare now, and see you in the palace the day after tomorrow."

Xiao Tou nodded, and Patriarch Chu withdrew.

After Patriarch Chu left, Xiaotou beckoned a guard over and said in a low voice, "Go to the post station and invite Mumbai to me, and say that I have important matters to discuss with him."

The guard nodded and stepped back.

……

In the post station, Mumbai has been waiting here for four or five days, and has not seen Xiao's head recovered, so he can't sit still.

If this delay continues, he can wait, but Lu Fei and Lin Feng who are lurking outside can't wait so long.

Mumbai wanted to go to the palace to see, but if he did so, he would reveal his thoughts, which might be used by Xiaotou in turn, and it would be embarrassing at that time.

But if you don't go, it's not a way to spend it like this.

At this moment, the post station official ran in, cupped his hands towards Mumbai, and said with a smile: "My lord, Patriarch Xiao sent someone to invite you into the palace to discuss important matters. The carriage is ready outside, please get on the carriage."

Mumbai heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, after waiting for so long, Xiaotou finally made a move.

"I know about this, you guys go out first, I'll tidy up my clothes first, and I'll be out soon."

Mumbai waved his hand to signal them to go out.

The station official goes out.

Mumbai changed into her clothes, tidied up her messy hair, and looked in the mirror to make sure her image was not damaged, then turned around and opened the door to go out.

……

The carriage stopped in front of the palace hall, and the guard bowed respectfully towards Mumbai: "Master Messenger, we have arrived, please get off the carriage."

Mumbai opened the curtain of the car, but no one came to greet him, and his face suddenly became a little dissatisfied. Xiao Tou actually neglected him so much.

He got off the carriage, glanced at the guard guarding the gate, and said dissatisfiedly, "Where is your master, Patriarch Xiao? Why is there no one?"

The guard bowed his hands towards Mumbai and said, "My master, we are holding a banquet in the hall. Please come in, Mr. Messenger. He is waiting for you inside."

Hearing this, Mumbai nodded slightly and strode into the hall.

Sure enough, Xiao Tou was in the main hall, he saw Mumbai coming, and actually came to greet him.

Mumbai waved his hand and said: "Patriarch Xiao, you invite Mumbai to come, but you don't come out to greet him. It's really a big shelf. Mumbai knows his status, but he is not someone else's servant. He is called around like this." If you come to me today to discuss the matter of credentials, either you sign this credential, or you follow me to Xinsha Kingdom to meet with His Majesty Yakana and discuss this matter face to face. It's settled. It won't do you or us any good to keep procrastinating like this."

"This point, I think Patriarch Xiao, you should be very clear, so you don't need me to say anything more?"

Xiaotou glanced at Mumbai and smiled slightly.

He naturally knew what he meant.

"Your envoy, you don't have to be like this. Xiao invited you here this time to discuss this matter. All the old nobles have already discussed it. The Chu family master and the Liu family master will replace the old man, and follow the envoy to the Xinsha country. Where can I meet Queen Yakana? This time I invite you to come, the first is to tell you about this, and the second is to discuss with you, when can we leave?"

Hearing this, Mumbai was a little disappointed.

He originally thought that Xiaotou would agree to his request and go to Xinsha country with him because of the formalities in such a situation, but he didn't expect to send someone to follow him in the end, which meant that his plan was completely exhausted. Failed.

Seeing Mumbai's displeasure, Xiao Tou smiled, cupped his hands and said, "Master Messenger, Xiao also wants to follow you, but the Koryo region has just been brought under control, and Xiao is needed here, so I have no way to leave. I have sent I will tell Patriarch Chu and Patriarch Liu all my thoughts, and the two of them will fully express the meaning of the completion of the project to His Majesty Yakana."

Mumbai saw that Xiaotou had said so, if he persisted, he might show his flaws.

Plans change, readjust.

After a while, Mumbai thought of a solution, and smiled at Mumbai: "Master Xiao has said so, and Mumbai has nothing to insist on. Since you have arranged for Master Chu and Master Liu to follow me to Xinsha on your behalf , this matter should be done sooner rather than later, I think we will start tomorrow."

Xiao Tou was slightly surprised when he heard this, and stared at Mumbai.

Mumbai's face was calm, and he said calmly: "I just want to get this matter done as soon as possible. After all, I have been here for almost ten days. If this delay continues, Xinsha Kingdom should be suspicious. So get this matter out as soon as possible." It’s a good thing for both of us when the matter is settled.”

Xiao Tou thought for a while, felt the same, and nodded.

"You're right. This matter really shouldn't be delayed like this. I'll do it for you here in the palace tomorrow. You stay here today so you don't have to run away tomorrow."

When Mumbai heard this, his heart skipped a beat.

If he stayed here, there would be no way to convey news to Lu Fei and Lin Feng outside the city.

"Patriarch Xiao, this is the imperial palace after all, it's inconvenient for me to stay here, I'd better go out and live somewhere outside the city."

Xiao shook his head and said with a smile: "Master Messenger, just one night is not a big deal. Besides, you are a friend of our Xin Song Kingdom. Even if you live in the palace, it is not a serious crime. You can live in peace. No matter what happens, I will take responsibility for it.”

Mumbai saw that if he did not agree to this situation, it would definitely arouse Xiao Tou's suspicion, so he cupped his hands and smiled: "Patriarch Xiao is talking about this, if I don't agree to you staying here, wouldn't it be too much for you? Face. Well, I will stay here tonight. However, Patriarch Xiao, please call my groom, I have some small things for him to do."

"After all, I'm going back to Xinsha Kingdom tomorrow, so he'll send an official document to Xinsha Kingdom to let us know, so that we won't encounter unnecessary trouble on the way back."

Hearing this, Xiao Tou nodded again and again, and said: "Master Messenger's worry is not unreasonable, but there is no need to be in a hurry. After we have eaten and drunk, the old man will send two guards to call your groom, and then You tell him to do something again."

Mumbai nodded, and sat down to eat and drink with Xiaotou.

This drinking lasted until late at night, when the moon was shining brightly, before leaving the table.

Mumbai was arranged to rest in the study on the east side of the palace, and Xiaotou sent someone to find Mumbai's groom.

Mumbai took out the silver to thank the two guards, beckoned the groom to come forward, and whispered something in his ear.

The groom nodded and bowed his hands towards Mumbai: "Don't worry, my lord, I will handle this matter."
