Fengmou Jiangshan

Chapter 123
I don't know how long I haven't smelled this familiar smell, and I don't know how long I haven't seen this kind dish!They think they have forgotten it long ago, but they don’t know that the taste of hometown exists deep in the soul and body, and it will never fade. Just look at it and smell it, and all the memories and feelings that seem to be frozen and sleeping will be brought back, and they can’t let go!
Su Jun walked slowly, turned his head slightly and glanced at them, without saying anything, and quietly retreated out.Nostalgia is always worthy of respect, and he doesn't want to embarrass them by showing their emotions like this.

Half an hour later, Su Junfang re-entered, and Lao Bao and Wang Hairong's attitude towards him became much friendlier unconsciously, especially Lao Bao, who looked at him without any hostility.

"Master Wang and Mr. Bao, please come with me!" Su Jun smiled.

"Are you going to see Miss Jing?"

"Where is this going?"

Wang Hairong and Lao Bao spoke at the same time.

When Su Jun heard Wang Hairong mentioning Miss Jing, his heart was not very happy, and it was the same at this moment. He held back his patience and said: "No, I am going to see His Majesty. Aren't you going here to discuss important matters with Your Majesty?"

"Go, to see His Majesty?" Lao Bao cried out in surprise, and Wang Hairong also raised his eyebrows.

"This, this—forget about my old bones!" Lao Bao smiled awkwardly, and was suddenly at a loss because of his nervousness.

Although they understand that this trip is to negotiate with the imperial court, both of them are trying their best, but they want to see His Majesty as soon as they come, this is really too exciting!

"We-we're not ready yet, are we? We'll meet His Majesty tomorrow?" Wang Hairong hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but say.

"There is not so much time!" Su Jun could not refuse, and said decisively: "Your Majesty has brought you here forcibly from the magistrate's yamen today. Before tomorrow, the entire official circle of Lizhou City will spread the news. Within three to five days, the whole South The Xinjiang officialdom will also spread! Before that, His Majesty must see you as soon as possible, and come up with countermeasures to bridge the negotiations between you and the southeast officialdom!"

"Negotiate with His Majesty—no, discuss with His Majesty—nor, in short, what I mean is that after meeting His Majesty, it is enough for His Majesty to make a decision? Why, why do you want to talk to Southeast officials?" In the government office, Lao Bao subconsciously felt uncomfortable, especially after experiencing today's incident, he hated the southeast officialdom to the extreme.

"Are you kidding me!" Su Jun glared at him angrily: "It can be as long as a month or as little as ten days. His Majesty will return to the court after all. Can he stay here forever? At that time, it will be Dongnan who will take over you." The government!"

"This matter is absolutely impossible!" Lao Bao said anxiously: "Master Su, this, isn't this giving our lives for nothing and holding them in their hands!"

"That's why His Majesty wants to summon you immediately to discuss a solution!" Su Jun glared at him impatiently.

"But—" Lao Bao still wanted to make a final effort, but was stopped by Wang Hairong.Wang Hairong exhorted: "Uncle Bao, don't embarrass Your Majesty and Young Master Su! What Young Master Su said is true, Your Majesty is the ruler of a country, and it's not just the southern border that you want to manage. Great grace!"

Finally said something decent!Su Jun gave him a slight approving glance and said, "Let's go!"

Lao Bao moved his mouth and looked at Wang Hairong, so he could only follow with a bitter face.

After Su Jun led the two of them out, they walked along the corridor all the way to Yuhua Palace. All the maids and eunuchs they encountered on the way stood sideways and bowed their heads to avoid him. Wang Hairong couldn't help but glance at Su Jun, secretly suspicious of his true identity .

Su Jun directly took them into a very elegant and exquisite study room in the left hall of Yuhua Palace.As soon as Wang Hairong looked up, he saw a woman standing opposite them with her back to them, looking up at the map hanging on the wall.The woman was wearing an orange-red curvy train, with the hem of the skirt swaying to the ground. The hem of the skirt reveals the pale pink corners of the inner skirt. , I saw her tall and slender figure, with high temples, revealing a slender and fair neck, with a few gold and emerald beads swaying on her temples, and a pair of inch-long drop-shaped emerald jade beads under her earlobes.

At first glance, it is elegant and dignified, with a gentle atmosphere, not domineering.

Wang Hairong's slightly uneasy heart immediately calmed down more than half, and the tense spirit of Lao Bao beside him also silently relaxed.

"Your Majesty, Master Wang and Mr. Bao are here." Su Jun signaled the two of them to stand still, he stepped forward a few steps, and bowed his hands to the back.

"Criminal Wang Hairong sees Your Majesty, long live my emperor!" Wang Hairong and Lao Bao immediately lifted their robes and knelt down, bowing their heads.

"Well," Gu Qinghua nodded lightly in response, then Yingying turned around, her black jewel-like eyes rolled slyly, and she smiled softly, "Master Wang, don't come here without any problems!"

With the sound of small footsteps and the rustling of skirts, Wang Hairong and Lao Bao felt that Her Majesty the Empress was walking towards them. They were both nervous and looking forward to it. Unexpectedly, she said such a sentence in front of them.

Lao Bao was stunned for a moment, and Wang Hairong was also stunned.This familiar voice, he believed that he remembered it correctly, subconsciously, Wang Hairong raised his head, a familiar yet unfamiliar pretty face looked at her with a smile on his face, the gold silk hibiscus crown inlaid with pearls was shining brightly, shaking His eyes were black and white for a while, he stared at Gu Qinghua blankly with his eyes wide open, the shock on his face could not be described in words!
He was dizzy for a while, and for a moment he forgot about etiquette, and stammered: "You, you—you are Miss Jing! You are Miss Jing!"

Gu Qinghua smiled sweetly, raised his hand slightly, and said, "Master Wang has a good memory! You two, get up and talk!" Gu Qinghua turned around as he spoke, and sat down behind the case.

Wang Hairong was still in a daze, turning a deaf ear to Gu Qinghua's greeting.

Lao Bao stared at him in surprise, with ever-changing expressions on his face, he couldn't help leaning his head closer to Wang Hairong, nudged him lightly with his elbow, and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you said, your Majesty is the one before you!" Miss Jing whom I met a few days ago? That female officer? Real or not! This, this, this—"

Laobao has been doing this for a long time and has not written anything about it.The shock in his heart was no less than that of Wang Hairong.

Who would have thought that Her Majesty, the majestic empress, would be so bold as to take risks in disguise?Is she too confident or just doesn't know why to be afraid?
No wonder!How could an ordinary female officer have such insight and bearing, such eloquence, and such calmness that he was completely impressed by just one look.Apart from her adoptive father, she is the first in this world.

He is too stupid, he should have thought of it a long time ago!

Wang Hairong didn't say anything, his mind was in a mess, and the feeling of chaos made him feel that his Qi and blood were disordered, his chest felt tight, and he had mixed feelings.For a moment, I was at a loss, not knowing what kind of reaction I should have was correct and should be.There was only one sentence circulating in his mind: "Miss Jing is Your Majesty the Empress! Miss Jing is Your Majesty the Empress..."

"Master Wang, Mr. Bao", Su Jun coughed, and said, "The prelude is right, don't whisper, it's disrespectful. Your Majesty told you to get up and talk, so get up quickly." He approached them a few steps, bowed He said in a low voice: "If there are outsiders around, you will be impeached for being so rude."

Lao Bao was at a loss, not understanding what Su Jun meant. Wang Hairong was a little bit of ink in his stomach. He was startled, hurriedly collected his thoughts that seemed to be running wild, and bowed his head in response, "Yes! Criminals——thank you, Your Majesty! ' and stood up.

"There are no outsiders here, sit down and talk!" Gu Qinghua smiled.

After hearing this, the old Bao raised his foot and wanted to sit down on the soft satin pier placed on the lower right in front of the imperial case. Wang Hairong glanced at Su Jun standing beside the imperial case, quickly stretched out his hand to hold the old Bao, and squeezed it secretly. Gu Qinghua cupped his hands and bowed, "Don't dare to be a sinner! Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

A flash of approval flashed in Gu Qinghua's eyes, he smiled and did not persist.

Even though they were full of gangsters at first, after recruiting, it is obvious that they have to change everything, especially the free and carefree form. The first one has to change, otherwise, there will not be enough pigtails in the future. caught.If there were a few more sensible leaders like Wang Hairong in the pirate group, then she could save a lot of worry.

"Master Wang is really trustworthy!" Gu Qinghua smiled and said meaningfully: "I thought I would never see you!"

Wang Hairong's face became hot, and he said embarrassingly: "The offender is careless, if His Majesty hadn't rescued him, I'm afraid the offender really won't be able to see His Majesty!"

"Speaking of this, later on, you really need to thank my teacher Taifu Shen. If Taifu Shen didn't happen to pass by and saw it, I would have regarded you as having missed the appointment!" Gu Qinghua laughed.

Wang Hairong shuddered when he heard the words, secretly calling it a fluke!If that is the case, the brothers on Chong'an Island must think that they have fallen into a trap and suffered harm, while His Majesty thinks that they have no intention of surrendering. If there is a misunderstanding between the two sides, the knot may not be untied!
"Yes, the criminals should thank Taifu Shen." Although Wang Hairong's tone was sincere, there was also some doubt.Master Shen, who is he?
Gu Qinghua saw his doubts, smiled, and said: "My Taifu Shen has a lot to do with your Wang family. Mr. Wang is friends with him. At this moment, he should be with Mr. Wang, right?" , I will send you to meet them later!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Wang Hairong's eyes lit up, and he asked cautiously, "My father and brothers—are they all okay?"

Gu Qinghua chuckled, and said proudly: "Under my protection, it's naturally fine! Don't worry!"

"Your Majesty is so kind to the sinners—there is nothing to repay, but His Majesty has orders, and all the sinners obey!" Wang Hairong's voice trembled.

Gu Qinghua had a half-smile expression on her face, her phoenix eyes half-closed under her slender willow-leaf eyebrows, and she half-seriously and half-jokingly said: "Oh? You trust me so much? Are you not afraid of what tricks I will play?"

"Your Majesty won't." Wang Hairong said with certainty.

Gu Qinghua's eyes drifted to Lao Bao without any trace.

"I—er, the criminals also believe in His Majesty!" Old Bao said with a bit of daring pride, "Your Majesty is a good person at first glance, and this——the criminals believe in your own eyes!"

Su Jun coughed hard a few times.

Gu Qinghua's expression froze, and he said, "Then, can I think that the attitudes of everyone on Chong'an Island are the same as yours?"

Facing Gu Qinghua's suddenly sharp eyes, Wang Hairong's heart subconsciously shuddered. He also calmed down and thought for a while, and said: "The criminals believe that they are looking forward to recruiting security and revoking the ban on the sea. As strong as a sinner."

These words were neither humble nor overbearing, very ingenious and decent, Gu Qinghua nodded in satisfaction.

"Don't worry, as long as we cooperate, there will be no less promises I made to you! What's more," Gu Qinghua raised his head slightly, staring at the front, and sighed softly: "Revocation of the ban on the sea will also be of great interest to me. Great benefit!"

Wang Hairong heard the meaning behind Gu Qinghua's words, and felt a "thump" in his heart. He tentatively said: "Your Majesty, I don't know how you want the criminals to cooperate?"

Gu Qinghua took a deep look at him, that look was a little heavy and helpless, but more of firm belief and encouragement, she pondered for a long time, and then said: "The grievances between you and the southeast county government have been accumulated over the years. It may take a long time to eliminate it. Besides, villains are not allowed everywhere. Even if I can control the overall situation, I can't guarantee that everyone will have the kindness to let go of their past suspicions and accept them wholeheartedly. Officers and soldiers who lost their loved ones because of the chaos. Do you all understand the difficulty of this matter?"

Pirates also have pirates in the arena, and there are also open and secret fights and power struggles. Gu Qinghua's words, not to mention Wang Hairong, even the old Bao who is used to being bold and rough can deeply understand.The eyes of both of them dimmed unconsciously.

"Master Wang, Mr. Bao," Su Jun coughed, and said slowly: "If you are willing to give up, you will gain something. Don't take care of your eyes in everything, and consider it for future generations. What do you think?"

Wang Hairong and Lao Bao were shocked, and they looked at each other subconsciously.

Wang Hairong was heartbroken, and gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty! The criminals will explain clearly to the brothers when they go back. In the future, no matter what kind of troubles and grievances, the brothers just grit their teeth and endure it!"

Gu Qinghua secretly let out a sigh of relief.It was her idea.In this matter, one party must be wronged, and this party can only be the pirate's party.If they are not willing to be wronged to survive this transition period, they will never be able to integrate in.

"Don't worry," Gu Qinghua said, "I know it well, and I will make good arrangements, and I won't let you suffer too much grievance!"

"With His Majesty's words, the sinners can feel relieved!" Wang Hairong said and bowed deeply: "On behalf of the brothers, the sinners thank His Majesty for protecting you!"

Gu Qinghua smiled. Having said that, it would be a bit difficult for her not to protect her in the future.

"However, I am afraid that brothers will not easily believe the criminals' explanations to appease the criminals. After all," Wang Hairong looked up at Gu Qinghua, pondered and said: "The grievances between the two sides have been deep, and the court suddenly showed goodwill. Brothers will inevitably—— A little suspicious."
