Jiuding Military Division 2

Chapter 13 The envoys of Yi Guolai are here!

Hearing the news, Mo Ju, who was always indifferent to emotions, stood up from his seat. He walked a few steps and grabbed the messenger's collar and asked anxiously, "Is this letter accurate? Whoever came?" who?"

The little school was terrified, and stammered: "Zhu... Zhun, my general sent a villain to send a letter to the military division immediately after receiving the customs clearance document from the envoy of Yi Guo. The envoy is... it is Yi Guo The minister of the Ministry of Rites is equivalent to our... Secretary of Rites..."

Mo Ju already understood Yi Guo's newly established official system, and interrupted him: "I know that, tell me your name quickly."

"It's Mr. Xi Qun Xi."

"Oh..." There was a smile on Mo Ju's face. He had met Xi Qun once before, and knew that this was He Ran's most trusted attendant. He Ran gave him the official position of Minister of Rites, and it was obvious that he was sent to go on a dignified mission. its intention.

He waved off the messenger and sat down slowly.He Ran finally sent someone, and Mo Ju's heart was very warm. He knew the news that Yi Guo could not stop sending envoys to urge Zhao Guo to send troops to attack Shun State. It is impossible for the country to be so safe and sound, so people of insight from the ruling and opposition parties all praised this Junshi He for his love and righteousness to Kang Guo.If he sent Xi Qun here, would he have any good secrets to teach him?Thinking of this, Mo Ju sighed softly. No matter how powerful He Ran is, after all, he is thousands of miles away. How can he control the affairs here? I only hope that he will send envoys this time to wake up the Queen Mother. A little miss for him, a little clarity, this is already the best result.

I think so, but Mo Ju can't hold back the strands of hope rising in his heart, hoping that He Ran can miraculously bring about a turning point for Kang Guo. No one can explore the depths of his brother, maybe... .After thinking about it, Mo Ju raised his voice to call for people, and sent three messengers from the Military Advisor's Mansion in succession. He watched them leave quickly after giving them the secret, and he felt a little more at ease. Chang, he asked himself that he could do it. After all, he was still the military advisor of Kang Guo. No matter how daring the rebellious officials were, they would not dare to tear their faces openly and endanger the people the military advisor's office wanted to protect. The more flamboyant you are, the safer you will be.

Just as He Ran expected, although Mo Ju was forbearing, he was definitely not just waiting to die, so he asked Xi Qun to submit the document to the border of Kang Guo in an upright manner. He believed that Mo Ju would get the news before those treacherous parties, and there were some The ability to protect Xi Qun arrived in Dechang safely and met Qi Min.Things developed according to his expectation. After Xi Qun entered Kangguo, troops were stationed along the road to take over the escort, beating gongs and drums to show grandeur, and from time to time local officials blocked the way to greet them. Maybe they read Yi Guo’s recent help and support, and others were instructed by Mo Ju, so not long after Xi Qun entered Kang Guo, Dechang’s rumors were raging. I hope that the envoys of the Yi Kingdom will have an audience. There is nothing to do with the considerable situation.

When Qi Min heard that the envoy of Yi Guo was coming, she went to meet him immediately. When she saw Xi Qun, she had a bright smile on her face, and said in a friendly tone: "Mr. .”

It was rare for the officials to see the Empress Dowager being so kind to foreign envoys. Many people smiled knowingly and bowed their hands to Xi Qun to congratulate.There was a rare warm atmosphere in the hall.

Xi Qun went forward to salute, and bowed his hands to thank all the ministers, and then presented the letter of credence.This letter of credence was nothing more than meaningless nonsense, Qi Min glanced at it and put it aside, politely asked some words about Yi Wang's peace, and then waved his hands to leave the court and summoned the people in the group. Hall asked.

After Xi Qun met again in the inner hall, he found that the pretty face of the Empress Dowager Kang had sunk, implying frost.

After a while, Empress Dowager Kang said coldly, "He's not dead yet."

Naturally, Xi Qun knew who this "he" was referring to, grinning and bowed, "To the Empress Dowager, he... the military division is very healthy, but he often misses the Empress Dowager, and his smile is much less."

"Hmph! He taught you this, right?" Qi Min curled his lips in disdain.

"The queen mother is too worried. What the villain said is indeed the truth. Only the villain knows this. The military master can't tell outsiders about this kind of thinking. It's just because the military master only has the villain by his side when the queen mother is here. Therefore, the military master When I miss the Empress Dowager and find it hard to express, I will talk to the villain, of course the military advisor will not express his miss, but just talk to me about the big and small things when I was here, but the villain can understand what the military advisor is thinking." He Ran taught him a lot in similar responses, and Xi Qun had already rehearsed his voice and emotion along the way.In private, He Ran specially ordered the queen mother to call herself a "little man" instead of a "foreign minister", in order to make Qi Min feel that they are a family, and that Xi Qun is not an emissary but a retainer.

After hearing this, Qi Min was speechless for a long time. Just when Xi Qun was relieved, he suddenly heard the Queen Mother take a few pictures, and scolded: "He is not dead but also very healthy. Why did he send you here! Why didn't he come himself!"

He Ran didn't teach him how to answer this, Xi Qun was a little silly, no one would have thought that the Queen Mother would ask such a question.

When Qi Min heard that He Ran thought of herself from time to time, her heart surged, and she lost her composure for a while. After realizing it, she hurriedly stabilized her mind and said, "Did he ask you to bring back the things I sent last time?"

Xi Qun quickly took out a brocade box from his arms, and presented it respectfully.

Qi Min opened the seal, and his pretty face immediately changed color when he saw it. He glared at Xi Qun and said, "What does he mean?!" It turned out that what Qi Min sent was a torn picture scroll, and that picture scroll was He Ran Zaidu finished painting and handed it to Mo Ju to bring to her. Qi Min saw He Ran's handwritten picture scroll of scenes from acquaintance to blind date with himself, with mixed feelings in his heart, and then because of love, hatred, he hated him and left. , under the violent emotional fluctuations, he tore off the next page and tore it to shreds. After the resentment calmed down, he regretted it very much. The torn page was the scene of her playing with He Ran for the first time in the other courtyard of the palace. The painting is extremely expressive.Thinking that everything is irreparable, these paintings are excellent thoughts, and it is a pity that this page is missing, so she sent someone to send this torn page, and wanted He Ran to draw another one. The brocade box sent back was still a torn picture scroll, and there were no new paintings.

Xi Qun said blankly: "The military adviser never told the villain what is in it, the villain..."

Qi Min frowned, looked through the brocade box again to confirm that there was nothing else, then stared at Xi Qun and asked, "Does he have anything else to say or something for you to bring?"

Xi Qun hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, the military adviser asked the villain to report to the queen mother: foreign things are not to be cherished, but the heart is the most precious, and the new work is only ink stains, broken scrolls are made of tears. The military adviser said that the old is better than the new one. If the queen mother is not willing to give up , naturally know how to remedy it.”

After hearing this, Qi Min stared blankly at the broken scrolls in the brocade box, silently pondered these words in her heart, and sighed softly for a long time, then suddenly she looked at Xi Qun puzzled and asked: "Is he too lazy to write? ? Why didn’t you write a letter to me?” No wonder she would ask this question. Although the words conveyed by Xi Qun are cryptic, they can still reveal some information. This kind of words should not be conveyed by others, it should be written in a letter valid reason.

Xi Qun smiled bitterly and said: "The military division originally sent a letter to the Queen Mother, but the military division took back the letter before I left."

"Why?" Qi Min was even more puzzled.

Xi Qun sighed, and said: "The military adviser said, now that the queen mother is not in charge of government affairs, you should be more careful in everything. If this letter falls into the hands of outsiders, it will not only hurt the face of the queen mother, but also give it to my little one." But the military commander really has a lot to say to the queen mother, and it is not easy for me to convey it, so the military teacher asked me to sigh helplessly in front of the queen mother for him." As he spoke, he really showed a helpless and distressed expression, He sighed heavily.

Qi Min's heart couldn't help trembling with that sigh, as if he heard He Ran's frustrated voice of missing him but being unable to express.She also knew that He Ran was warning her that even the envoys of Yi State were worried that they would die in Kang State.
