Chapter 27

"Hahahaha..." Wang Jingzhi laughed loudly: "I like the kindness of the prime minister. If I tell others this, I may be blamed for my lack of restraint. Only the prime minister can make jokes, so I don't mind."

"What do I mind? If my grandfather has the temper, you say that, he would have to thank you for praising him."

Wang Jingzhi nodded: "Grandpa Ling has more than just looks, maybe he saw his shadow in the prime minister."

Xie Shu held up the wine cup and smiled lowly: "I'm not like him."

Wang Jingzhi couldn't help being startled.

It was not until the lights on both sides of the strait were lit up that the two finally stopped drinking.

Wang Jingzhi is worthy of being a master of clear talk, he can even talk clearly about things that Xie Shu is not interested in, and the whole afternoon passed without him noticing.

She joked: "I suddenly feel that the beauties around the Tai Tuo are all blessed, at least they won't be bored."

Wang Jingzhi laughed: "No matter how beautiful you are, it can't compare to you, Prime Minister."

As soon as Xie Shu heard this, he knew that he was drunk, and his appearance was no different from that time on Fuzhou Mountain.

She thought it was funny, no wonder he was called unrestrained, talking nonsense when he was drunk, which was quite fitting.

A handsome servant stood by the door of the cabin. Hearing that this was wrong, he hurried in to help Wang Jingzhi, and apologized to Xie Shu: "Forgive me, Prime Minister, my lord speaks nonsense when he is drunk, and there is no intention to offend. "

Xie Shu waved his hand: "It's okay, I've seen the truth a long time ago, so there's no need to take the Grand Tutor away, let him rest here."

The servant looked embarrassed: "But, but my master has other indecent behaviors when he is drunk."

"Huh?" Xie Shu was about to ask, but Wang Jingzhi had already pushed the servant away: "Whispering, get out quickly, it will prevent me from talking with the guests."

As he spoke, he got up, staggered to Xie Shu's side, suddenly grabbed her by the arm, and then lay down.

Xie Shu was pulled down and fell down, and was pillowed in his arms. He tightened his arms and clasped her tightly. He laughed and said, "Sleep with you, and the sky will come to light."

The servant hurriedly came to pull people: "Forgive me, Prime Minister, my Lord Lang definitely didn't mean it."

Xie Shu struggled for a long time but couldn't break free, sighed and said: "The truth is that I understand how your master's reputation for being romantic comes from."

The servant wants to cry but has no tears.

I heard that the prime minister is very masculine, our Lord Lang delivered it to the door himself!
It happened that Wei Yizhi, Huan Ting and others were drinking in a nearby restaurant, and there was an express report from the frontier that the envoy of Tuyuhun had an accident on the road. He heard that the Wang family's painting boat had arrived nearby, so he wanted to board the boat to see Xie Shu to discuss the matter.

Wei Yizhi and Huan Ting took a small boat to the side of the painting boat, Mubai happened to be at the bow of the boat, warmly greeted Huan Ting, and coldly greeted Wei Yizhi.

"Where is the prime minister?"

"Drink with the Taifu in the cabin."

Just at this time, Wang Jingzhi's laughter and the servant's exclamation came from the cabin. Wei Yizhi felt that something was wrong, so he walked in quickly, and saw Xie Shu lying on the ground tightly hugged by Wang Jingzhi, one as if nothing had happened, the other Describe slutty.

Mubai followed, seeing this situation, his hairs stood on end, he hurried to break Wang Jingzhi's arm.

The drunk person is too energetic and messy, so he and the servants of the royal family can only pull people around separately.

Wei Yizhi couldn't bear it anymore, stepped forward and clasped Wang Jingzhi's wrist with one hand, and pulled Xie Shu out with the other, and moved to the side.

Wang Jingzhi's arm was in pain, and he looked over with blurred and drunken eyes, but he didn't recognize who it was at all, and fell asleep.

The poor servant of the Wang family was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and repeatedly confessed: "Forgive me, Prime Minister, and Da Sima. My master definitely didn't mean it."

"It's okay, take good care of your master." Xie Shu broke away from Wei Yizhi and got out of the boat first.

Huan Ting stared at the cabin door for a long time, tongue-tied, and then came back to his senses, and hurried forward to report the matter.

"Do you know who did it?"

"I don't know, it's the news from Zhongqing's soldiers and horses."

Xie Shu turned his head to look at Wei Yizhi: "Does the King of Wuling know who did it? Whether it is a robber or an enemy army has to be investigated clearly. It is not a trivial matter for the two countries to fight without killing each other."

Wei Yizhi's expression was not good: "Let's inform Prime Minister Xie after the king's investigation is clear."

Xie Shu looked him up and down: "Is the King of Wuling dissatisfied with the truth?"

Huan Ting coughed twice, pretending not to know anything.

Wei Yizhi boarded the boat in a sulking mood and said he would go back and send someone to investigate the matter.Huan Ting and Xie Shu were one step behind and were sent to the shore by the Wang family's boat.

Huan Ting received the envoy for the first time, and he was quite confused. This time, this kind of thing happened again, and he begged Xie Shu pitifully: "Why don't you send someone else to do it, I'm worried that it will be messed up. Your Majesty instructed Maybe I hope you make mistakes, or it is better to leave it to capable people."

Xie Shu patted him on the shoulder: "Since you know how to think about your cousin, you should behave well this time. How can you give up the opportunity to outsiders?"

"But I'm really worried that I won't do well."

"You think too seriously. In the past, the Jin Dynasty ruled the world, but now it is in a corner. Your Majesty just wants to save some face this time. In fact, I also understand that this matter is very difficult." She pointed in the direction of Wei Yizhi's departure. He pointed, "If you are really worried, you can ask the King of Wuling for help. Tuyuhun refused earlier, and then sent someone over again, because he was afraid of his soldiers and horses in Ningzhou. At that time, you will let him go in and out with you. I dare not underestimate you."

Huan Ting was dejected: "Zhongqing is so angry, I dare not provoke him."

"Hey, he's mad at me, it has nothing to do with you."

"OK then."

Wei Yizhi returned to the mansion, still with a straight face, but immediately ordered Fu Xuan to arrange a thorough investigation of the envoy.

After Fu Xuan left, he sat in the room, and it took him a long time to calm down.

Many years ago, on His Majesty's birthday, he got a batch of good horses, which he wanted to give to the children of the family.

He was still young, and was taken into the palace by his elder brother, and he was selected along with the others.Everyone else chose a tall horse, but he chose a small pony, which caused everyone to laugh.

Everyone praises him as a Biren, and his parents and elder brothers all regard him as a good talent and a beautiful jade, and raise him carefully, expecting him to become a master, so he naturally develops a proud disposition.

He was a pony chosen because he liked it, but everyone mocked him.He couldn't bear the trouble caused by pride, so he changed his choice again.

The Wei family crawled out of the sea of ​​blood, and it will be passed on in his hands.This road has been planned so far, and it has finally gained a firm foothold, let alone daring to overstep the rules.

He also wanted to smile freely like Wang Jingzhi, lying drunk; he also wanted to be unrestrained and heartless like Huan Ting.

But dead ancestors are watching.

Thousands of soldiers and people are watching.

The emperor and the eyeing families are also watching.

He fell in love with Xie Shu when he didn't know Xie Shu's identity, and he admitted it, but whether it was the pride in his nature or the responsibility on his body, he forced himself to get rid of this fact.

It would be nice if Xie Shu was a woman, then there would be an explanation for why he was attracted to her.

This idea became stronger when she discovered her flaws.Must ask for a result, so as to prove that he is not taking a deviant path.

Although he gave up spying at the end, in fact, he had already determined that Xie Shu was a woman in his heart.However, Zhu Daoan's story today made him doubtful.

Is it because I like Xie Shu that I want her to be a woman, or is it because Xie Shu is a woman that I like her?

There is no answer to see that her emotions after being with Wang Jingzhi are more direct.

He stood up, found the portrait he had painted for Xie Shu, unfolded it, took a look, and threw it into the fire.

After Xie Shu returned to the prime minister's mansion, he immediately sent someone to investigate the matter of the envoy, but it was not as good as Wei Yizhi had an army nearby.

The next day, Huan Ting sent a message saying that Wei Yizhi had found out that the two envoys were not in danger of life, and now they continued on their way.

She breathed a sigh of relief, but felt inappropriate.Foreign envoys, not to mention their own army escorts, even the Jin Kingdom will arrange escorts along the road, so how can something happen casually?

Seeing that the two envoys were about to arrive, Huan Ting couldn't bear it anymore, and ran to ask Wei Yizhi for help after hearing Xie Shu's words.

"May I give you the Zhou Dynasty Yuzhang I keep in my collection?"

Sitting in the courtyard, Wei Yizhi was wiping his beloved long sword, and said lightly, "I'm not interested."

Seeing that he liked weapons, Huan Ting said again, "Then how about I give you my horse lance?"

"I have."

"..." Huan Ting sighed: "Forget it, my cousin also asked me to beg you, but it really didn't work."

Wei Yizhi stopped his movements: "Master Xie asked you to come?"

"Yeah, he said you're angry with him, not me."

"Hmph, she knows I'm angry with her."

Huan Ting was a little embarrassed: "Well... I actually know about the two of you. Mrs. Wang lost his temper after being drunk. They are both men. So what can I do if I hug you? Just look at it."

Wei Yizhi looked at him in astonishment: "You know everything?"

Huan Ting had a clear look on his face: "Zhongqing, I used to think it was a little unacceptable, but since A Weng's death, I have figured it out a lot. Life is too short, and nothing is better than living freely and freely. Although my cousin Good man, that's my cousin too, as long as he lives well, those reputations don't matter."

"..." Wei Yizhi was speechless for the first time, and he said after a long time: "Okay, you go back, I will accompany you to receive the envoys when they come."

Huan Ting was very excited, thanked him again and again, and only after leaving Da Sima's mansion did he realize that it was really useful to move out his cousin!

The envoys did not arrive in Jiangzhou until mid-October.Xie Shu was still worried about Huan Ting, so he asked Xie Ran to help him.

Xie Ran first set off to Jiangzhou to meet him as a show of friendship, and when he arrived in Jiankang, Huan Ting came forward to formally greet him.

The team of envoys is considerable, but there are only two people who are in charge, one is Murong Chao, the cousin of the Lord Tuyuhun, and the other is the Prime Minister of the Right, Fuqu.

The two of them were wearing Hufu and boots, seeing that the officials who came to greet them were all in wide-sleeved robes, their movements were elegant, and the handsome man was wearing whitewash, and they felt a bit disdainful in their hearts.

Although Fuqu is a civil servant, he advocates ruling the country by force.Murong Chao himself is a military general, he admires force even more, and he hates these chubby men the most.

The personnel from the two parties exchanged courtesy, and Huan Ting invited a few people to live in the post house, explaining that the Prime Minister would discuss matters with the two of them in person.

Murong Chao didn't make decisions when he saw him, so he didn't have any scruples, and his words were a little arrogant.

Huan Ting was depressed, and Wei Yizhi was late, so he had the confidence.

Wei Yizhi also wore a Hu suit, and his heroism flourished.In the past when Tuyuhun came to attack Jin, Murong Chao had fought against him, he was defeated by him, now he has no arrogance and keeps his voice down.

On the second day, Xie Shu hosted a banquet for the envoys at the prime minister's mansion.

Murong Chao and Fu Qu were very surprised when they saw that the current Prime Minister was so young, with a soft and beautiful face comparable to a girl.Surprised and contemptuous at the same time.

Everyone was seated in the hall, sandalwood was wafting, the tables were exquisite, and there were countless delicacies and wines.

Faced with this extravagant life, Murong Chao's disdain increased.

Xie Shu said at this time: "The two of you have come from a long way, so naturally the business should be the first thing to do. It's better to discuss the matter of attachment now."

Murong Chao hastily raised his hand and made a blocking gesture: "Prime Minister Xie, please slow down. Before that, we have to talk about the accident we encountered on the way. We almost encountered disaster when we passed Jinxing County. This matter can't just go like this, can it?"

Xie Shu glanced at Wei Yizhi on the right, raised his smile and said, "Then who do you think did this?"

"We lived in peace all the way, but when we arrived in Jinxing County, something happened, and it was dressed up by the Jin army. It is clear that you did it on purpose."

Xie Shu finally knew their plan, and it turned out that they wanted the Jin army to take the blame.

"The authenticity of this matter remains to be discussed. I, the Jin sergeant, are not rude people. How could I do such a thing?"

Fu Channel: "We have broken guns and prisoners left by the Jin army at that time, which can testify that the Jin army did it."

Wei Yizhi put down his wine cup: "Half of the soldiers and horses in Jinxing County belong to the King of Changsha, and the other half belong to this king, but I don't know which soldier and horse it is that hurt your country's envoy team."

Murong Chao snorted: "How do we know who the soldiers are?"

Xie Shu sneered, of course you don't know, how can we make us jealous of each other?

It seems that Tuyuhun is determined not to join him anymore, and this business is just a formality.

In fact, Xie Shu didn't expect this to happen. Recruiting the country itself has a burden. Every time they are in trouble, they will send troops to help, and Qin has been playing with their ideas. It may not be beneficial for Jin to be caught in it.

The emperor just wants face, but the interests are the most important.

She had no intention of dealing with it, so she didn't bother to entertain the two, she got up and said: "I'm a little uncomfortable, please stay with me, please continue to drink."

Murong Chao saw that her expression was cold, and knew that the conversation could not continue. It was a good thing, but he was very dissatisfied with her attitude.

Not long after Xie Shu left, Mubai quietly walked behind Huan Ting, and told him that as long as you have an idea, it's fine, if you can't agree, let's not talk.

Huan Ting felt relieved, and perfunctory, ended the banquet, and wanted to send the two envoys away.

Murong Chao didn't feel that they were being slighted because they played petty tricks, but felt that he had been insulted, and he was furious when he left the prime minister's residence.

Fuqu followed behind him, comforting him in Xianbei all the way, but it didn't work at all.

Murong Chao stopped beside the carriage, and complained in Xianbei language: "With this kind of person as the prime minister, what can the state of Jin do? And expect us to join Tuyuhun? He can see it with just one face, if it's really a woman , this king will think highly of him, hum, at least he can have fun in bed."

Fu Qu intends to please him: "With His Highness' ability, can he be male or female?"

Murong Chao is not a person who is easy to deceive, and he only pretended to laugh a few times for his hypocritical praise.

The laughter didn't stop, only a "swish" sound was heard, the whip was swung heavily on the top of the head, and it was drawn straight to the carriage, the horse almost ran away in shock, but was pulled back by the driver.

Surprised, Murong Chao moved his eyes from the deep scratch on the carriage to Wei Yi who was a few steps away.

"Forgive me, both of you. I just wanted to exercise my muscles and bones, so I flicked my whip. I didn't expect the two of you to be 'discussing important matters'. Excuse me."

Murong smiled with an ugly face: "It's okay."

The negotiation ended without a problem, and His Majesty's dream of a great country and monarch was shattered into scum, so he blamed the matter on the prime minister's incompetence.

Xie Shu accepted the criticism humbly, but his expression was calm and justified. The irritation made him almost suffer from another headache.

When she left the palace, she heard that the envoys were in a hurry to leave, and she happened to be free, so she planned to accompany Huan Ting to see him off.

When they arrived at the post house, the gifts brought by the envoys had been transported away by special personnel, and Murong Chao and Fu Qu went on the road lightly, ready to set off.

Although the prime minister came, Murong Chao didn't have much enthusiasm, his expression was stern, and he was very unhappy to see her, and he looked at Wei Yizhi several times before leaving.

Xie Shu was wondering, Wei Yizhi boarded her car and said, "It's been a long time since I got in the same car with Xie, Mr. Xie doesn't mind, does he?"

As long as he doesn't pry into her secrets, Xie Shu feels that he is a very generous person, nodded and said: "I don't mind, you and I are not brothers."

She deliberately emphasized the word "brother", which was clearly meant to be sarcasm, Wei Yizhi's always tense face suddenly smiled: "It's great to hear this sentence again, but..." He put down the car curtain , sat beside her, "I don't want to continue to be your brother."

"Huh?" Xie Shu was first surprised and then happy. Did he finally agree to break up the relationship? !

Wei Yizhi said: "Do you still remember the story Zhu Daoan told?"

"Ah? I remember." Does this have anything to do with the breakup of friendship?
Wei Yizhi shook her hand, and said after a long time: "If you change your appearance in the next life, I will definitely recognize you."

To be honest, the first reaction of a person who has been on the verge of life and death when he hears about "the next life" is not very good.

So Xie Shu was not very happy.

"Well...Although I have a hidden disease, I'm not going to die if I say it. Why do I say such a thing?"

Wei Yizhi was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "You..."

"What's wrong with me?"

"Didn't you say you remember the story of Zhu Daoan?"

"remember."

"The prince of Jiegu Kingdom missed the woman because the woman changed her appearance, and his love is only out of appearance." He squeezed Xie Shu's hand tightly: "I am not like this to you."

Only then did Xie Shu realize that he was showing love, but her reaction was really disappointing: "Zhongqing, you have said this many times."

"Well... what I said before is also true."

Xie Shu beat his shoulder with his free hand: "Oh, yeah."

Wei Yizhi sighed: "You don't believe me?"
