When I just got divorced, I was overheard

Chapter 265 Envoys Enter the Palace
"I have seen Hou Ye."

There are two maidservants here, and the driver of the carriage also arranged for one, who also served as the porter.

Before coming here, Li Xiuzhu made a special trip and told them that in two days, a stranger came to the door with a beautiful woman and wanted to call Lord Hou.

And women are going to live here for a while.

That's why the coachman called Li Xiuzhu Hou Ye when he saw Li Xiuzhu's current appearance.

Of course, the two maids in the courtyard also knew about it.

"Ah."

Li Xiuzhu led the people forward, and before reaching the front hall, he heard two little girls discussing.

"Why do you think our Marquis did this?"

"I don't know either. In the past, when I had a new wife, I always brought them home."

"And this time it actually made people..."

Hearing this, Li Xiuzhu's face darkened.

Fortunately, his cultivation level is much higher than Nalan Mingyue's, so he heard about it in advance.

"If you dare to talk nonsense behind your back, you will definitely be beaten to death."

The two women who were talking suddenly froze, and stood up with frightened faces.

The next second, the two instinctively looked at the front yard, but they didn't see anyone.

Did I hallucinate?
But thinking about the reaction of my friends, it doesn't seem like it.

The two turned their heads and looked at each other, and asked in surprise at the same time:
"Did you hear something?"

"What did you hear..."

The simultaneous opening let the two know that this is not an illusion.

It's lovely.

Li Xiuzhu's voice had reached the ears of the two, but the strange thing was that Nalan Mingyue beside Li Xiuzhu didn't respond.

This is not because Nalan Mingyue is deaf, but because of sound transmission.

Confining the sound ray in a small track formed by internal force can achieve sound transmission and denseness.

However, this requires a very strong internal force, and the distance is very limited, and if there is someone in between the two points, the content may be intercepted.

Just when the two maids were worried, Li Xiuzhu appeared in their eyes with someone.

At this moment, the two women were even more frightened, but hurried over to salute.

"My servant, Xiaolu, has seen Lord Hou."

"Servant Xiaohong has seen Lord Hou."

"Well, do your own job well, and don't say things you shouldn't say."

At this moment, the hearts of the two tensed, but they also hurriedly responded.

"Yes, Lord Marquis! This servant knows his mistake."

"..."

The reaction of the two made Nalan Mingyue's eyes light up.

"Do they know some big secret?"

Li Xiuzhu smiled, does this attract you?
Li Xiuzhu is not afraid of being investigated, anyway, he will show his cards in the worst case.

At that time, I don't know if this girl will have a broken heart.

As for letting her go and killing him, one must be prepared for a miserable life.

Although he didn't intend to abuse or humiliate her, he would definitely pick it up.

"This is your new master, you can serve her in the future."

"Mingyue, wait for me here in Ansheng, and I will take you into the mansion in three months."

Nalan Mingyue knew that she would not be able to run away for these three months, so besides convincing his wife, he also needed to see if she was stable.

"I'm afraid these two girls have another purpose besides serving me, which is to monitor me?"

"Is this what he meant just now? Yes, he knows that I am a second-rate expert, and my hearing is pretty good."

"However, isn't it just stable for three months, so it's not a big problem."

"And he will definitely come to see me when the time comes, and he will have a chance to make a move."

Nalan Mingyue never dreamed that she had exposed all her little thoughts by herself.

Is it stable for three months?Your mother should be here by then.

"Take a good rest, I'm leaving first."

"Ok!"

There was no slight fluctuation in the cold voice, as if he didn't care about Li Xiuzhu's departure at all.

But this is more in line with her personality at this time.

Li Xiuzhu had to sigh in his heart, this woman is basically a born actress.

If you don't act, you're done. Every act is at the level of a queen.

After removing the disguise, Li Xiuzhu called Li Hu over when he got home.

"Master Hou."

"Well, I have something for you to do."

Li Hu is the confidant of Li Xiuzhu's guards, he was born in the sixteen guards of Kyoto, and he is not a womanizer, but also loyal.

"My lord, please tell me."

Li Xiuzhu sorted out his thoughts and said:

"You take a dozen or so people to the Silla Royal City to investigate a person named Zheluo."

"It should be relatively famous, and it should probably have died. He died during our crusade against Silla."

"If the other party has a concubine, lover, or fiancée named Mingyue."

"Find Mingyue's family members and find a way to bring Mingyue's relatives back."

"If you can't find Mingyue, then investigate all the women related to Zheluo, and then sort out the information and send it back."

"This trip should not be short, and the cost will certainly not be small. Go to the cashier to withdraw 1000 taels."

Li Hu didn't ask anything else, and left after Li Xiuzhu finished speaking.

"Yes, this subordinate will leave now."

"Don't be in such a hurry, the Chinese New Year will be in a few days, just go after the Chinese New Year."

"Yes, my subordinates know."

"Well, let's go down."

"Subordinates retire."

Li Xiuzhu rested in the Xihonglei room tonight.

This rest is only the last place to rest, and I saw many people along the way.

Although he is very greedy for Suru, he must not spoil anyone alone.

The secret of harmony is the equalization of rain and dew.

Early the next morning, when Li Xiuzhu was immersed in the gentleness, Li Chengze also met the princess Haibie.

As soon as Princess Haibie and a chief envoy were announced to the main hall and saluted, they immediately said:

"His Majesty the Great Zhou Emperor, this is my letter of surrender from Silla, please read it."

"Bring it up."

When Li Kuo said these words, his heart was full of pride, and the joy in his eyes was beyond words.

Opening up borders and expanding land, and barbarians becoming ministers, this is a merit that many kings do not have.

Now, Li Kuo has such merits and virtues. To put it nicely, it is called the eternal name, but to put it badly, it means that he will see his ancestors with his face when he goes underground.

Wang Defa trotted all the way, took the letter of surrender, held it in front of the emperor, opened it and laid it on the table in person.

This is to prevent people from being poisoned, a daily basis.

Li Kuo looked at the flat letter in front of him, although he knew the contents earlier, he was very happy.

"Good, good, good!"

"From today onwards, Silla is a vassal state of my Great Zhou."

"Announce the reward."

Wang Defa immediately stood up straight when he heard the words, and sang his promise loudly: "The envoys of Silla will listen to you."

"Now Silla has surrendered, and the north of Liaodong has been incorporated into the border of Dazhou. I am very happy."

"Confer the title of King Huaidong of Silla, rewarding ten thousand taels of gold, ten boxes of jade and jewellery, ten beauties, one hundred pieces of brocade, ten catties of tea, one hundred pieces of porcelain, and one thousand pieces of cattle and sheep. This is yours."

Hearing these rewards, the Silla envoy's mouth twitched, and what they needed most was only a thousand horses of cattle and sheep.

It's not that other things are bad, it's that Silla is in a bad year, and if possible, he really wants to exchange everything for food.
