Dressed as Wu Dalang, Jinlian please respect yourself

Chapter 681 Re-entering Pyongyang City (2)

Everything in the hall is well prepared, and there are all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas.

Xiao Tou sat in the main seat, while Liu Jiazhu and Mumbai sat in the guest seats.

Xiao Tou poured wine for them and said, "You two have worked so hard on the journey, why didn't you see Patriarch Chu?"

Patriarch Liu's heart skipped a beat, and Mumbai answered, "Patriarch Chu was left behind by Queen Yakana, and he is discussing further cooperation between the two countries in Xinsha. He asked the two of us to come back to tell Patriarch Xiao first." , let you have a preparation in your heart."

Hearing this, Xiao Tou put down his guard, smiled and said: "So that's the case, I thought something happened to Patriarch Chu."

Mumbai smiled and said, "Patriarch Xiao's words are correct. Could it be that our Xinsha Congress will not take action against Patriarch Chu? We are not the kind of people who do not believe what they say."

Xiao Tou heard the meaning of Mumbai's words, knew that he was wrong, stood up and bowed to Mumbai: "Master Messenger, don't misunderstand, Xiao Tou is just being too cautious."

Mumbai pretended to be displeased, and said, "You are just overly cautious. It seems that you don't believe us. If I knew this, I shouldn't have come back. This is simply humiliating ourselves."

After talking about Mumbai, I got up and left.

Xiao Tou hurriedly stepped forward to stop Mumbai, and said with a smile: "Master Messenger, why are you so angry, I was just joking. How about this, in order to express my apology, I punish myself with three cups, is that okay?"

After finishing speaking, Xiao Tou picked up the wine glass and drank three glasses.

Mumbai saw that Xiao Tou had already given face so much, so he also stepped down the ladder.

If they completely fell out with Xiao Tou, this matter might be difficult to handle.

Thinking of this, Mumbai smiled and said, "Since Patriarch Xiao has given me face so much, what else can I say? Let things go like this."

Seeing that Mumbai was no longer angry, Xiao Tou secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

"But Patriarch Xiao, I won't drink this wine for the time being. Let's talk about the contents of the national book first. This is the most important thing."

Mumbai spoke.

The head of the Liu family originally wanted to enjoy the banquet, but when he heard this, he suddenly became nervous.

Why didn't Mumbai talk about it, why did it have to be so urgent.

He couldn't speak at this time, if he did, it might cause Xiao Tou's misunderstanding.

Seeing that Bombay was in such a hurry, Xiaotou smiled slightly and said, "Master Messenger is dedicated to serving the country, which is worthy of admiration. But you have worked hard all the way, so you should eat something first, and after you have a good rest, we will discuss the contents of the letter of credence."

Mumbai pretended not to speak.

He did this to create an illusion for Xiaotou that he couldn't wait to seek benefits for Xinsha.In this way, Xiaotou will not doubt their purpose of coming here this time. After all, he is an old fox. If Patriarch Chu is not here, he will definitely have great doubts.

It's not something that can be resolved with the two words he said to stay in Xinsha.

Seeing Mumbai like this, Xiao Tou continued: "Master Messenger, Xiao knows that you are dedicated to serving the country, but you also have to eat for the country. Just take it as a face for Xiao, eat first, and we will talk tomorrow."

Seeing that Mumbai had already invited Xiaotou to eat for the second time, if he didn't eat, it would be a bit too much.

"Well, since Patriarch Xiao has already said that twice, if Mumbai doesn't give you face, wouldn't it mean that you don't give face. Well, let's not talk about state affairs for now, let's have a good meal today."

After speaking, Mumbai picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

Family Master Liu at the side saw that finally subsided, and secretly rejoiced in his heart, and started to eat along with the rejoicing.

He followed Bombay's words, and if he could not speak, he should not speak, so that he could avoid making mistakes.

In the twinkling of an eye, it was night, and the three of them had enough to eat and drink.

Xiao Tou ordered people to send Mumbai back to the post station, but left Patriarch Liu behind.

Patriarch Liu's heart skipped a beat, what did Xiao Tou want to keep him here?
Xiaotou waved his hand to signal everyone to go down, staring at Patriarch Liu, and said with a serious face: "Patriarch Liu, tell Xiao the truth, is Patriarch Chu really staying in Xinsha Kingdom to discuss the new Song Kingdom with Queen Yakana? What about Xinsha Kingdom?"

Master Liu braced himself, looked up at Xiao's head, and said, "Master Xiao, Master Chu is indeed negotiating with Queen Yakana in the Xinsha Kingdom. The envoy did not lie to you. If it weren't for the master of the Chu family I followed the messenger to report to you, and I also want to stay in Xinsha, after all, doing meritorious deeds nearby is much better than running back and forth without knowing."

After hearing this, Xiao Tou nodded slightly.

He is very clear about the character of Patriarch Liu, he is a person who likes to take advantage, as long as it is beneficial, even if there is danger in front of him, he will rush to it.

"It seems that I am superstitious." Xiao Tou said with a slight sigh, "Recently I have been having nightmares, dreaming that our plan failed, dreaming that I was taken down by Wu Tian. So I feel very uneasy, especially if I didn't watch When Patriarch Chu came back, I was afraid that something might happen to him. Now that I hear you say that, I feel relieved. Patriarch Liu, you have worked hard all the way, so go back to the Liu family and reunite with your family."

Patriarch Liu nodded, bowed to Xiao Tou, took his leave and left.

The moment Patriarch Liu walked out of the palace, his hands and feet were sweating and his face was pale, as if he had experienced a life-and-death duel.

A carriage drove by in the distance, and two men jumped out of the carriage.

The head of the Liu family immediately became vigilant, and after seeing clearly that the two men belonged to his Liu family, he breathed a sigh of relief and beckoned them over.

The disciples of the Liu family came over and saw Patriarch Liu's pale face. They were slightly surprised and asked, "Patriarch, what's wrong with you? Why is your face so ugly? Did something happen to you?"

Master Liu waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I just got a little scared, so I haven't recovered yet. It's okay now, why are you here?"

The disciples of the Liu family said: "We heard that Patriarch, you are back, so Madam ordered us to come and welcome you back. Now the carriage is ready, Patriarch, shall we go back now?"

The head of the Liu family nodded, and was supported by the Liu family's children to board the carriage.

These unbearable actions of Patriarch Liu were quickly reported to Xiaotou by the guards outside the palace gate.

Xiao Tou frowned slightly after hearing this, why is Patriarch Liu so scared?
"Go, get the Dragon Adviser."

The guards went out, and not long after, Advisor Long came in and cupped his hands at Xiaotou.

Xiao Tou told Long Counselor what had happened.

After hearing this, Long Advisor pondered for a while, and said, "Patriarch, this abnormality of Patriarch Liu shows that there must be something wrong here. If you want to find out about this matter, you need to spy on Patriarch Liu and the Mumbai envoy. , but also to investigate the outsiders around Pyongyang City, maybe one or two can be obtained from the investigation office.”
