Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 242
"Bless Sima."

Li Jiye stepped forward slowly, walked to a stand two feet in front of Zhu Xiuyuan, and said with a smile: "Xiao Wang is lucky enough to be able to meet such an outstanding person like Zhu Sima. It is really a great pleasure in his life!"

"While we were having the banquet, Xiao Wang had already had a lively chat with Zhu Sima. The wonderfulness of Zhu Sima's new fried tea had already made Xiao Wang impressed. Then came the 'Method for Preventing and Controlling the Plague', which was even more wonderful. , Xiao Wang's heart is already surging, and his admiration for Zhu Sima is beyond words..."

"My lord, you are overly praised!" Zhu Xiuyuan was habitually modest.

At the same time, Zhu Xiuyuan also felt a little pain in his heart.

At the wine table just now, he chatted with Li Jiye, and finally talked about the newly made fried tea and the method of preventing and controlling the plague.

Zhu Xiuyuan also drank two more glasses of wine and was a little confused.

When he saw that Li Jiye was very interested in this, he suddenly felt very excited, so he spoke loudly and often came out with some amazing words.

However, although these words are shocking, if you think about it carefully, there is great truth and great wisdom contained in them, and they are almost like enlightening words.

This made Li Jiye firmly believe in one thing——

Jiangzhou Sima Zhu Xiuyuan is really an outstanding talent!

Extraordinary knowledge, unparalleled by ordinary people!

... Later, Zhu Xiuyuan's head sobered up a little. When he thought about it for a moment, he suddenly felt that he was bragging.

Therefore, I wanted to "drive" Li Jiye back to the post house to rest early, and not listen to his "nonsense" here.

Because, apart from Zhu Xiuyuan feeling that he was bragging, by recalling Li Jiye's words and deeds, Zhu Xiuyuan vaguely felt that Li Jiye had ulterior motives, and that he seemed to be harboring an ulterior secret...

Besides, Li Jiye is still a foreign prince, and his status is particularly sensitive. In short, it is better to have less contact with him.

"Haha, it's rare. I wish Sima such a young and talented man can understand the way of humility. It's really commendable! How many young geniuses, relying on their talents and being arrogant, finally became the mediocre 'Zhongyong'! I wish Sima a great talent, but a profound Knowing how to be humble, I wish Sima unlimited success in the future!"

"Uh..." Zhu Xiuyuan grinned and said helplessly: "Your Majesty is overly complimentary!"

Dong Cheng, Liu Wencai, Li Qingnu, etc. all stared blankly at the two people talking without making any move.

Li Jiye said again: "Zhu Sima, we have already discussed the method of preventing and controlling the plague just now, but Xiao Wang still has many doubts about this method, and he also wants to ask Zhu Sima for advice. Please give me your advice." "

Zhu Xiuyuan frowned slightly, already having a bad feeling in his heart.

Li Jiye chuckled, bowed his hands again, and said, "I wish Sima, Xiao Wang has an unfeeling request, and I hope Sima will be successful."

Zhu Xiuyuan looked at Li Jiye and saw that he was not red-faced, out of breath, and looked calm... Zhu Xiuyuan said, "I know you very well?"

Why is there such an "unkind invitation" right from the start? You are so thick-skinned!
Although Zhu Xiuyuan was reluctant in his heart, he still said: "Your Majesty, you are welcome. Your Majesty is here as a guest. If you have any needs, you might as well make it clear."

"Zhu Sima, the posthouse in the city...Xiao Wang won't go there. When Xiao Wang saw Zhu Sima for the first time, he admired him very much, as if he had endless words with Zhu Sima. Xiao Wang...it's better to live in Zhu Sima At home, it’s good to chat with Sima all night long, wouldn’t it be fun! I don’t know what I wish Sima would like?”

Zhu Xiuyuan was stunned.

No, Zhu Xiuyuan just now thought of sending Li Jiye and the others to the post house early to avoid too much contact with Li Jiye...

But he didn't expect that he would make such a rude request and still want to live in the Dong Mansion?

Not only Zhu Xiuyuan was stunned, but Dong Cheng and Liu Wencai were also stunned.

Li Jiye, as King Qian of the Liang Kingdom, was also the envoy to the Chen Kingdom this time. He had a nice post house but chose to stay at Zhu Xiuyuan's home... They had never seen anything like this!

In addition to them, Li Qingnu, the princess of Anle who was Li Jiye's sister, also looked surprised. Even the smile on her face that had never faded disappeared.

He stared at his royal brother blankly, wondering how his royal brother could make such a request.

"Uh...this..."

Zhu Xiuyuan quickly recovered from his stunned state. King Qian of the Liang Kingdom was still waiting for his reply.

However, Zhu Xiuyuan couldn't make up his mind for a while.

From the heart, Zhu Xiuyuan really wanted to reject Li Jiye.

But Li Jiye is a prince after all, and he is also the envoy to Chen State this time...

Any decision Zhu Xiuyuan makes may affect the relationship between Liang and Chen... In other words, is this a "diplomatic incident"?
Zhu Xiuyuan couldn't make up his mind for a moment, so he couldn't help but look at his father-in-law, Dong Cheng.

Dong Cheng is cunning and scheming. He eats more salt than rice. We still need to see what Dong Cheng means in this matter.

Dong Cheng stared at Zhu Xiuyuan and nodded slowly.

Zhu Xiuyuan took a deep breath, rolled his eyes and thought for a while, thinking that since Li Jiye made the request, his father-in-law also agreed, and he couldn't find a reason to refuse... I'm afraid this is what he had to do.

Zhu Xiuyuan, who had already been calculating in his heart, smiled and said: "Okay! If the prince comes to visit my humble abode, the humble abode will naturally be full of splendor. I should sweep the couch to welcome you!"

"Okay, it's a great pleasure in life to be able to drink and talk with Zhu Sima all night long. Xiao Wang's mission to the south this time is not in vain!"

Zhu Xiuyuan laughed along with him, and suddenly looked at Li Qingnu, "What about Your Highness the Princess?"

Li Qingnu immediately took hold of the emperor's arm, with a sweet smile on his face as bright as the full moon: "Master Zhu, of course I will be with the emperor."

Li Qingnu paused, then smiled and said: "The post house prepared by Mr. Zhu is not in use, but it is our fault. How about..."

"Hey!" Zhu Xiuyuan interrupted Li Qingnu's words and said with a smile: "It's just a post house, it's nothing serious. Don't worry about it, Princess."

Li Qingnu pursed her lips, nodded and said: "That's fine, I'll leave you to Mr. Zhu!"

"Your Highness, you're welcome..." Zhu Xiuyuan couldn't help but nodded secretly, thinking that Princess Anle had more directors than her royal brother!
……

Dong Mansion.

main entrance.

Zhu Xiuyuan, Dong Cheng, and Liu Wencai personally accompanied Li Jiye and Li Qingnu here.

There were many people who came with Li Jiye. In addition to the accompanying attendants, there were also many Liang soldiers.

These Liang soldiers were all big and round-waisted, eight feet long, as strong as calves, with full beards and bright eyes... They were really a group of tiger and wolf soldiers.

In comparison, Chen Guo's soldiers... seemed a little petite.

Even Yan Dashan, who was following Zhu Xiuyuan, nodded secretly and said to Zhu Xiuyuan privately: "My dear friend, the soldiers of the Liang Kingdom are the most powerful soldiers among the three kingdoms of Chen, Liang and Yan. These tiger and wolf soldiers are fighting in the north." Northern Yuan', Nan Nan's rejection of 'Dafan', they didn't lose the slightest bit of wind, it's really amazing."
