First Emperor

Chapter 198 Just talking nonsense (Part 3)
"I am very pleased that Xiqi City can be praised by Grand Master Du!" Xibo Hou Jichang replied with a smile.

"Master Du, please!"

"Your Majesty, please!"

Si Tianjian Grand Master Du Yuanxian said hurriedly.

The two stepped into the meeting hall side by side.

The host and guest are seated.

"The Xianhou should already know that this time the old official came here on order, meaning that the second son Ji Fa kidnapped the prime minister's daughter, the former quasi-noble concubine!"

Du Yuanxiao cut to the point and directly clicked on the topic.

"The dog is so bold that he dared to do such a rebellious thing. When the Marquis first heard about it, he was so angry that he vomited blood immediately! If it wasn't for the king Long En, who spared him the death penalty, the Marquis would have personally cut off his head and sent him to the imperial court. Song!"

"But it's hard to be wise. Since the king spared his life, I have to obey! But he has been beaten a hundred times by this Marquis, and sent to the abandoned courtyard behind the mansion to be imprisoned! Whatever is needed, everything is arranged by the servants!"

Xibo Hou Jichang knew about it a long time ago, and he was prepared mentally. At this time, he showed Du Yuanmill an angry performance.

"If it weren't for the king's sympathy for this Marquis, Tejia's pardon, Shan Gouzi's crime, the entire Xibohou Mansion would be implicated!"

"The old minister has owed the emperor's favor!"

Ji Chang got up and knelt in the main hall, facing the direction of Chaoge City, kowtowed repeatedly.

Du Yuanxian just looked at Ji Chang quietly, he didn't speak all the time!
"Your Majesty, you don't have to be like this..." Du Yuanxiao hurriedly got up, walked up to Marquis Xibo, and helped him up.

Du Yuanxian knew very well that Xibo Hou Jichang was acting for him, but he didn't point it out. In fact, he was acting for Di Xin.

This time Yin Xin ordered him to come to Xiqi, but he still hasn't figured out why!

Although he is well versed in astronomical phenomena, he has never participated in government affairs, but Di Xin asked him to come here by name alone. Why?

It stands to reason that Yabigan is the most suitable!
Could it be because Di Xin was dissatisfied with the matter of admonishing the southern barbarians last time?still……

Or is the identity of the Heavenly Court Star General exposed?
It shouldn't be!

Du Yuanxian still had this confidence.

He has been hiding in Chaoge for so many years, although he can't be clear about Yin Xin's methods, but he still knows a thing or two about some things on the surface, and he also has a little understanding of Yin Xin's temperament.

And the key point is that there are no strangers around Yin Xin, at most it is Wen Taishi.

If Grand Master Wen could find out his identity, he should have found out a long time ago, and he wouldn't wait until now.

Of course, if you heard the words of the grand master, you would do it directly, how could you go through such troubles and directly suppress him.

Wen Taishi is from the direct line of Jiejiao, if Wen Taishi kills him, the Heavenly Court will have nothing to do, the power of Heavenly Court is much worse than Jiejiao's.

In the imperial court, what Du Yuanxian feared the most was Wen Taishi.

Although Grand Master Wen couldn't see through his identity for the time being, he still kept dealing with him as little as possible.

After all, Grand Master Wen's realm is much higher than his. Once his identity is exposed, Grand Master Wen can easily suppress him, and he has no room to resist at all.

Since Di Xin was able to send him to Xiqi as an envoy this time, it is unlikely that his identity will be exposed. At most, he had some grudges about the last expedition to the Southern Man!

But what he didn't know was that his identity was really exposed, but it was still useful for Yin Xin to save his life.

It is Yin Xin's consistent method to put a long line to catch big fish.

"According to His Majesty's instructions, Yuan Xi came here today to ask on behalf of His Majesty, did the Marquis know about the kidnapping of the Prime Minister's daughter by Ji Fa, the second son of the Hou Mansion!"

Du Yuanxian immediately got straight to the point, without much nonsense, and went straight to the point.

Anyway, it was just going through the motions. Even if Ji Chang really knew about it in advance, it would be impossible for him to admit it.

That's why Du Yuanxian felt that it was a waste of time for Yin Xin to send him here. What's the difference between asking or not asking about the preordained result?

Du Yuanxian couldn't figure it out.

That's exactly the case, Du Yuanxian just cooperated with the form. In fact, he knew very well that Di Xin didn't want to pursue the kidnapping of the noble concubine.

After all, this matter involved the Prime Minister and the Xibohou Mansion, which had a great impact on the outside world.

If it goes to the root, it will be detrimental to anyone in the future, especially Di Xin's reputation and prestige.

So maybe the purpose of sending him here is to warn Xibo Hou Jichang, of course, whether there is a deeper meaning, then it is unknown.

Xibo Hou Jichang got up hurriedly when he heard the words, walked to the hall, knelt down on the ground, and kowtowed in the direction of Chaoge.

"Your Majesty, the dog has nothing to say, dared to risk the disgrace of the world, kidnapped the Prime Minister's daughter, and disturbed the order of concubine selection in the harem. It is true that the old minister did not teach well and misunderstood state affairs. Please punish the king!"

"The dog is so reckless, the old minister really didn't know it, if he knew it in advance, he should be locked up, and he would not dare to let him do anything wrong and humiliate our country."

Ji Chang slammed the ground loudly, kowtowed on his knees respectfully, with a pious and upright attitude, without the slightest hint of disobedience.

"Uncle Hou, please get up quickly." Du Yuanxiao got up, walked up to Ji Chang, and helped him up.

"Since Uncle Hou didn't know the information beforehand, the old minister should report the truth." Du Yuanxian looked at Ji Chang and said sincerely.

"It's so thankful for you, Grand Master!" Ji Chang bowed slightly to Du Yuanxian, expressing his gratitude.

"I heard Grand Master Du once said that he opposed the use of troops against the Nanman, and was severely reprimanded by the king!"

Xibo Hou Jichang took his seat, looked at Du Yuanxian, and mentioned this matter as if he was chatting about family matters.

"That's all..." Du Yuanxian sighed and shook his head!
"Grand Master Du, is the sky really like this?" Xibo Hou Jichang did not stop there, but continued to ask.

"Does Hou Ye feel that the old minister is deceiving the king?"

Du Yuanxian raised his head abruptly and stared at Xibo Hou Jichang with a hint of anger in his eyes.

"Teacher calm down!"

Xibo Hou Jichang smiled calmly and said hurriedly. "The grand master misunderstood the meaning of the Marquis. If the weather is really like this, the conquest of the Nanman is in danger. The southern border has just suffered floods. If the conquest of the Nanman fails, it will undoubtedly make matters worse! The people who are suffering are all the people of Li! "

"Leading the troops personally by Grand Master Wen may minimize the loss! It may even turn things around." Du Yuanxian sighed slightly with a serious look in his eyes.

"Grand Master Du's words are very true. Hearing that Grand Master personally conquered, it is expected that the six kingdoms of the Nanban will not be able to make any waves!"

Xibo Hou Jichang also nodded in agreement!

"If Grand Master Du has nothing to do, you might as well stay in Xiqi City for a few more days, and let me do my best as a landlord!" Xibo Hou Jichang didn't say anything more, after all, we met alone, and some things are inconvenient to talk about.

"Then respect is worse than obedience." Du Yuanxian had exactly this intention.

Ji Chang and Du Yuanxian looked at each other and laughed freely.

Du Yuanxian had exactly this intention.

This time, he just wanted to take this opportunity to have a chat with Xibohou Haosheng, to find out what he said, and maybe he could form an alliance.
