"Thank you, Miss. I am sorry to bother you, but as you know, I will be away for a while. I am worried that no one will take care of my mother. I don't have any relatives in the capital, so I thought of you."
?
After Qi Shan finished speaking, he looked towards Xie Liuzheng.
?
Facing Qi Shan's request, Xie Liuzheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought something had happened, it turned out to be this, I thought it was no big deal, don't worry, Master Qi, I will take good care of your aunt."
?
As she said that, she went in. Qi Shan's mother was in frail health, and Xie Liuzheng smelled a strong smell of medicine as soon as she entered.
?
"Hello, Auntie. My name is Liu Zheng."
?
Zhou Zimo was listening to the laughter inside at the door and he was very annoyed.
?
But he was finally pulled away by Shu Mo. Actually, Zhou Zimo wanted to stay and continue waiting for Xie Liuzheng to come out, but he was worried that he would do something that he would regret under the stimulation.
?
However, thinking that Qishan would soon be on a diplomatic mission to the Xiongnu, Zhou Zimo took the opportunity to find someone.
?
The next morning at court, Qi Shan received an imperial edict, ordering him to set off for the Xiongnu immediately. It was difficult to disobey the emperor's order, but fortunately he had entrusted his mother to Xie Liuzheng's care yesterday, so Qi Shan had nothing to worry about.
?
So Qi Shan hurriedly left the capital with his guards.
?
Zhou Zimo stood on the city wall and watched Qi Shan leave.
?
Xie Liuzheng also came to see Qi Shan off, and she also brought Qi Shan's mother with her. Watching her son gradually disappear, Xie Liuzheng found that Qi Shan's mother was very worried.
?
"Aunt, don't worry, Master Qi will be fine. I will stay with you and wait for him to return safely."
?
After that, Xie Liuzheng sent her back. During that time, even if she didn't go herself, she would send Chunyue to visit her aunt every day.
?
Zhou Zimo drove his love rival out of the capital, so he had nothing to worry about and followed Xie Liuzheng.
?
On the other side, Qi Shan was galloping all the way, and even the guards escorting him were a little exhausted, but Qi Shan, a weak scholar, was still persisting.
?
"Sir, let's take a break first. The post station is just ahead. Let's rest for a while before we go."
?
The guards thought that although the journey to the border was long, they had enough time and it wouldn't be too tiring.
?
In addition, Qi Shan was a weak scholar, and the guards believed that Lord Qi would not be able to hold on.
?
But they never expected that Lord Qi had more energy than they imagined, and Qi Shan didn't complain even after traveling for such a long time.
?
"Everyone, walk a little further, and when it's night, we'll find an inn and have a good rest for the night."
?
Since Qi Shan had said so, the guards naturally felt embarrassed to insist on taking a rest.
?
So the group reached the border in less than ten days.
?
Under the protection of the Qin general stationed at the border, Qi Shan set out to the Xiongnu to negotiate with them.
?
As soon as they entered, those tall and strong Huns opened their eyes wide and threatened Qi Shan. They didn't expect that the other party would arrange a weak scholar to negotiate.
?
But after half an hour, the Huns no longer dared to underestimate Qishan.
?
Because Qi Shan only said a few words to force the Huns leader to compromise, and because the Huns were defeated this time, they had to bleed heavily in order to seek peace.
?
"Report! Good news has come from the border. The Minister of the Honglu Temple, Lord Qi, has succeeded in the negotiations. The Xiongnu have agreed to cede three cities and offer another 100,000 taels of gold as a betrothal gift, and come to marry the princess."
?
His Majesty is very pleased.
?
"Well, you are worthy of being the new number one scholar. It is a blessing for our dynasty!"
?
But after hearing the emperor's praise for him, Zhou Zimo in the court couldn't help but complain that Qi Shan was really capable.
?
Fortunately, he also made his own contribution to the stability of the border.
?
But when Zhou Zimo was leaving the court and returning, he was stopped by several eunuchs. "Marquis Guanjun, please stay. The Fifth Princess invites you!"
?
Facing the eunuch's pressure, Zhou Zimo did not give him the slightest face. "Fifth Princess, right? If she wants to see me, she can come to me in person. But I have something to do at home right now, so it is not convenient for me to stay for long. Please report back to the Fifth Princess. It will not be too late to see her another day!"
?
After saying this, Zhou Zimo tried to leave forcibly, but the eunuchs refused to let him.
?
But Zhou Zimo couldn't let the eunuchs stop him, so he stepped forward again and saw the eunuchs fighting. However, Zhou Zimo was not afraid of them at all, and he fought with the three eunuchs alone.
?
Zhou Zimo was hit on the shoulder by someone, but the eunuch didn't get away with it either, as he was kicked away by Zhou Zimo.
?
After a while, all the eunuchs were knocked down.
?
Although Zhou Zimo was hit on the arm, he still walked away in a cool manner. In the carriage, Shumo was helping him treat the wound. Seeing the red and swollen arm, Shumo couldn't help but feel distressed.
?
"Master, you said you were not careful enough, but you still got hurt during the morning court session."
?
Facing Shumo's nagging, Zhou Zimo didn't take it seriously, "I was hurt because I was careless. Okay, stop talking. My ears are getting calloused."
?
But when he arrived at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion, when Zhou Zimo was about to get off the car, he heard Shumo, who had got off earlier, greeting someone.
?
"Miss Xie, are you going out?"
?
Hearing this, Zhou Zimo immediately jumped out of the carriage and saw Xie Liuzheng appear there. He hurried to get on, but accidentally bumped his arm against the carriage.
?
"Master, be careful with your injuries!"
?
Hearing this, Xie Liuzheng politely expressed his concern, "Master Zhou is injured, is it serious?"
?
"Nothing serious!"
?
“It’s pretty serious!”
?
However, the two completely different answers made Chunyue beside Xie Liuzheng couldn't help laughing, "Shumo, is your young master's injury serious or not?"
?
Shu Mo received the young master's gaze and nodded hurriedly, "It's very serious!"
?
Seeing this, Xie Liuzheng looked up at Zhou Zimo and bowed slightly, "Since the young master is seriously injured, Liuzheng will not delay the young master's treatment. I will leave first!"
?
After saying that, she turned around and left without any reluctance.
?
Zhou Zimo was very frustrated and couldn't help asking Shumo, "Do you think Miss Xie doesn't like me? She was indifferent even when she heard that I was injured!"
?
Hearing this, Shu Mo sighed, "Master, Miss Xie is always cold and aloof to everyone, except you, Master!"
?
"What's the difference? Tell me quickly."
?
Zhou Zimo instantly perked up and pestered Shumo to get the answer to the question, but Shumo was not married, so naturally he was not very well versed in the relationship between men and women.
?
At the same time, the fifth princess in the palace was looking at the eunuch kneeling in front of her and she was very annoyed.
?
"You are a bunch of trash. You can't even bring a single person back! I really don't know what's the point of keeping you around?"
?
The fifth princess, Zhao Muyao, was so angry that she smashed her favorite teacup into pieces.
