Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 292 291. A Pingpo Part [-]
The two monarchs and ministers are talking.

Yang Guang's laughter could be heard throughout the imperial garden.

Suddenly, Huang Xizi raised his head slightly, showing the appearance of listening.

Then he took a step forward and said in a low voice:

"His Majesty."

"Ok?"

"His Royal Highness King Yue...should be coming."

The moment he heard this, Yang Guang turned his head to look at Master Huqiu.

He saw the other party raised his bamboo hat slightly and looked at Huang Xizi.

He thought about it and said:
"Xiaoxi, go and comfort her, and let... Dong'er wait."

But before the words fell, Master Huqiu said respectfully:

"Your Majesty, if His Royal Highness the King of Yue is to wait for the sake of the minister, it will really make the minister terrified. Otherwise... the minister should leave now."

Yang Guang thought for a while, then nodded:

"Alright. Then this matter can be done according to your thoughts. If they can get tens of thousands of high-quality mounts before Zhang Xutuo goes to Wagang next year, then this matter can be discussed. I don't have any tolerance My villain, bring what I mean. Fifty thousand good horses... and let three blood relatives come to the capital as hostages. Pegasus City is still Pegasus City. And if it can't be done... He Son, how to punish, you look at the arrangement."

"Your Majesty, next spring will be the time for the expedition, and the time may be too late. Besides... I don't believe that Pegasus City will not leave any seeds before the dragon and fire are sent. The ability of the red rabbit and horse back then was very famous. For thousands of years, because of the blood of Long Huo Ni, he has the intention of returning to his ancestors. I think...Compared with ordinary war horses, the descendants of Long Huo Ni are more in line with His Majesty's wishes."

"...Then what do you mean, don't want the war horse?"

"Naturally. But why can't we have all of them? Give them some time. Spring is the time for mares to give birth. With their means, they must do their best to protect them. The minister has already sent people to infiltrate the Pegasus Ranch to punish them. Wagang Village, I’m afraid we won’t be able to catch up. But in the spring and summer of next year, I’m waiting to find out how many dragon and fire horses there are in Feima City, and then...huh.”

Master Huqiu sneered:
"If you don't want to be a rebellious minister and traitor who disobeys His Majesty, you can get a good horse, and you can't miss it after Longhuoyan. Your Majesty wants both. If they don't give it... Even Sun Junce is dead, just a Pegasus City , who else can stop my Great Sui cavalry!"

"Hahahahahaha~"

Hearing this, Yang Guang laughed wildly.

The entire imperial garden was filled with his laughter.

Looking at the courtier wearing a bamboo hat in front of him, he nodded repeatedly:

"Well, good, good, it's my eyes. Hahaha, good, good! That's it."

"Then...Your Majesty, His Highness the King of Yue is already outside the door, I am sorry to leave."

"Well, let's go....Take the fruit and try it. It's delicious."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

Smiling Yang Guang watched Lord Huqiu bow and leave.

It was only after the figure of the other party disappeared in the rockery that there was a trace of pity in his eyes.

"Xiao Xi."

"His Majesty."

Huang Xizi bowed.

I heard Yang Guang use a kind of regretful words and said softly:

"What a pity."

"..."

Huang Xizi was silent for a while, and nodded in the same way:

"Yes."

"...Tell me, does this count as heaven's jealousy of confidante? Since ancient times, confidante has been so unlucky, why is this?"

Huang Xizi didn't answer this question.

I don't know how to answer.

He just shook his head regretfully.

……

The gate of the imperial garden.

"Li Shilang."

Looking at the young prince wearing a golden crown in front of him, Master Huqiu bowed and saluted:

"The minister kowtowed to His Royal Highness the King of Yue."

Hearing this, the young man's face turned slightly red for some reason.

Looking at the bamboo hat in front of him, he seemed to want to pass through this layer of veil and see the beauty.

But Lord Huqiu stood silently, not saying a word.

"Li Shilang...where do you want to go?"

Yang Tong thought for a while, and asked in a slightly hoarse voice that was still in the period of voice change.

"Return to Your Highness, I have to go out to do something."

Hearing this, Yang Tong hurriedly followed up:
"Are you still doing business? Today is a small year... Even many shops on the street are closed, the servant... still not taking a bath?"

"Go back to Your Highness, run around for the country, there is no need to rest and bathe."

"Then what if you are too busy to work?"

"..."

Listening to his words full of concern, Mr. Hu Qiu remained silent.

Then, Yang Tong's eyes fell on Lord Huqiu's hand.

"Grandma Ping? ... Oh yes, the Gufu also sent some today. Does Li Shilang like it? Gu will send someone to send you some in the afternoon."

"Thank you, Your Highness. It's just that I usually don't like melons and fruits. This is a reward from His Majesty. Of course, you have to taste it carefully. But in the past, I didn't like to eat it."

"This……"

Yang Tong's eyes were almost fixed on Mr. Huqiu.

Can't leave for half a moment.

Hearing this, he hurriedly wanted to say something more, but he saw Master Huqiu cupping his hands:

"Your Highness, Your Majesty is still waiting in the garden. I still have some things to do. Please allow me to leave first."

"..."

Yang Tong was taken aback...

He couldn't help but ask again:

"Then... is Li Shilang free at night? At the end of the Sui Dynasty, I got a batch of colored glaze from the barbarians. The candlelight flickered at night, and it was the most beautiful. How about Ruogu giving you some pieces?"

In fact, if Li Zhen was here, he would definitely roll his eyes when he heard this brat's tricks.

Isn't this standard dog licking?
Although it is said that he is a wolf among dogs at the end of the lick, but the problem is... He has not yet started with this kind of rhetoric.

That's far away.

as predicted.

Master Huqiu cupped his hands:

"Glass is precious, commensurate with His Highness, so it is naturally extremely gorgeous. But if you come to this minister, it will be a waste of money. Your Highness, I have something to do, so I will leave first."

"……All right."

Yang Tong stepped aside.

Looking at the back of her leaving alone, the obsession in her eyes no longer needs to be said.

It wasn't until Huang Xizi came out to announce his audience that he came back to his senses.

After tidying up his clothes, he walked into the imperial garden.

When he was about to step into the threshold, he couldn't help but look back...

And Master Huqiu walked very firmly.

There is no turning back.

……

"grown ups."

"Ah."

After leaving the palace gate, looking at Xue Rulong who was still waiting in front of the palace gate, Lord Huqiu nodded and directly boarded the carriage.

"where are we going?"

"Go home."

The carriage rolled.

From today until the eve of the year, there is no need to go to court.

In the car, Mr. Huqiu also seemed to feel the accumulated exhaustion from this year surging up.

He took off the bamboo hat directly, and a trace of boredom appeared on his beautiful face.

If it is a normal person, it may take a break to take advantage of the rhythm of the shaking carriage.

But she didn't.

Because she can't sleep.

People do not sleep, not to mention mental fatigue, but also feel headaches, discomfort and other symptoms.

This made her a little irritable.

When irritable, I don't like making noise.

This is also the fundamental reason why there are only three people and two demons in the Li family in such a big place.

But even if she couldn't sleep, she still leaned on the carriage and closed her eyes.

Force yourself not to think about anything.

He tried his best to keep the spiritual platform a little blank.

Not long after, the carriage arrived at the gate of the mansion.

After Xue Rulong parked the car, he saw that there was no movement in the carriage, so he didn't say a word.He didn't even move his body, trying to maintain a still state, as if he was afraid of making any noise.

In the mansion, Zhang Ersheng, who was about to open the door, was stopped by Li Zhong next to him.

The old man raised his finger to his mouth, signaling Zhang Ersheng not to make any noise.

Over the past few days, although Zhang Ersheng is a bit naive, he is not a fool.I already know that this "vicious" human race... seems to have that kind of insomnia.

I don't like to be noisy.

So he stood on the side obediently.

The world near the gate of the Li Mansion seems to have quieted down.

However, after about ten breaths of time, just when Li Zhong and Xue Rulong thought Lord Huqiu had fallen asleep, they heard a sigh from inside the carriage:
"Ugh……"

There is helplessness and pain in the sigh.

"..."

Xue Rulong moved his eyes and sighed silently.

Get out of the car and take the horse stool.

And Li Zhong also sighed speechlessly, commanding Zhang Ersheng:
"Open the door."

"Squeak~"

The red lacquer door opened.

Mr. Huqiu, who came down from the horse stool, was still wearing a bamboo hat and holding the red fruit in his hand.

Just as he was about to walk into the mansion, he suddenly remembered something and asked:

"Have you sent someone to notify the Taoist priest?"

"Go back to my lord, not yet."

"...Go and let him know that he will deliver the "Huang Ting Jing" at night."

Hearing this, Xue Rulong, who has always been obedient to Master Huqiu, couldn't help but say:

"My lord... Anyway, there is nothing to do at this time... Isn't the Taoist just telling a story? Since you are free, why don't you go and listen? To relieve boredom?"

Master Huqiu heard the words, and subconsciously turned his head to look to the east.

Looks a little moved.

However, at the next moment, she looked up at the sky.

It's already past time.

That Taoist's book has probably covered most of it.

Thinking of this, Lord Huqiu shook his head.

"I won't go. You can go now. In addition... After going there, I will go to Xiangshan and tell Xuan Suning that tonight...don't make things difficult for him."

After finishing speaking, Xue Rulong was about to leave.

And Master Huqiu was about to walk in the door.

But just as he was about to cross the threshold, he suddenly remembered something, turned his head and shouted again:
"and many more."

"……grown ups?"

A trace of doubt appeared in the man's eyes.

I saw my lord suddenly throwing an object over.

He took it, looked down, and found...it was the red fruit that the adult brought back from the palace.

"If you don't want to eat this, just give it to him. After all, that Taoist is from the Northwest, and he has never eaten these rare things from Lingnan."

"……Yes."

Xue Rulong said in his heart that the sentence "I want to eat" before you, my lord, is as if he didn't say anything.

While thinking, he was about to leave.

I heard it again:
"slow."

"...?"

"If he wants to ask anything, don't tell him."

"...Including this Pingpo?"

Hearing the man's words, Lord Huqiu nodded:

"Well, including this Ping Po. If he asks... you can say that you gave it yourself."

"..."

Xue Rulong was speechless, but he didn't leave in a hurry, but continued to wait where he was, for fear that his lord would have any orders.

But this time, Master Huqiu didn't give any orders.

Entering the mansion directly, as the door closed, the figure disappeared.
