The Peach Blossom Nunnery.
The Gathering of the Magi Banquet.
A figure slowly appeared in front of Xu Qingnian.
The visitor was wearing the serving clothes of the Peach Blossom Nunnery and looked towards Xu Qingnian with a flattering smile.
“Sir Xu, do you need anything prepared for you?”
It was the handyman in the banquet hall.
His appearance appeared to others as a form of ingratiation, which was normal and not half-bad.
This man, too, was none other than the White Cloth Sect’s inside man.
Apart from him, Xu Qingnian really couldn’t guess who it was.
The last time she had come to the Peach Blossom Nunnery, the only people she had contacted were Miss Liu, Baiyi, Wang Ru and one other person, him.
The girl in white is also not, otherwise she wouldn’t be that stupid. As for Wang Ru, if it were him, Xu Qingnian would have reported him directly.
The actual fact is that you can’t even play this way.
And this handyman, very suspicious, fits a few points and is mediocre.
But even so, Xu Qingnian still had a bit of a toothache, these guys from the White Cloth Sect really had some problems.
They had to take this different route.
They didn’t follow the rules, according to the rules, it should be so-and-so flower girl, then they should write a poem and enter and talk by themselves, but what they didn’t expect was a maid of honour.
“Prepare some fruit and wine snacks and go to the Meditation Banquet to bring them for me, please take the trouble.”
Xu Qingnian glanced at the other person, who also glanced at Xu Qingnian, and the two of them locked eyes and exchanged some information instantly.
Since they were going to meet up with this person, naturally they couldn’t stay here, it was best to go to the Meditation Feast.
“Okay, Sir Xu wait a moment.”
The latter understood and left at once, while Miss Liu took Xu Qingnian to the Jing Xin Banquet.
The Quiet Heart Banquet was very quiet and was an elegant room.
Miss Liu had arranged for a double elegant room, in case Xu Qingnian had a close friend coming.
Once the arrangements were made, Miss Liu also left very tactfully and went to find the girl in white.
“Thank you, Miss Liu, if Miss White-clothed is willing to see me later, let Mister Xu know in one incense stick, Mister Xu has some things to think about.”
“And please ask Miss Liu to tell the shopkeeper that Mister Xu has something to see him, and that I will go to him after I have seen Miss White-clothed.”
Xu Qingnian said so.
“En, don’t worry, Sir Xu, my slave will make good arrangements.”
Miss Liu nodded and left with a smile in her eyes.
Only after Miss Liu had left did Xu Qingnian withdraw his gaze and then waited quietly for a
A little while later.
Finally, the sound of light footsteps rang out.
The next moment, the elegant room was pushed open, and the junior slowly walked in, carrying a few small dishes and a pot of fruit wine, followed by the door closing again.
“Sir Xu, the dishes are ready.”
The junior set the items in front of Xu Qingnian with a smile on his face.
“Speak.”
“What’s the matter.”
Xu Qingnian opened his mouth, not looking at the things on the table.
Once this was said, Junior did not feel any surprise, but instead pressed his voice and said.
“Xu Gongzi, this is a letter from above for you.”
Junior took out a letter and handed it to Xu Qingnian.
After receiving the envelope, Xu Qingnian opened it and read it.
The letter contained an extremely large amount of content, and Xu Qingnian watched it carefully.
About a few dozen breaths later, Xu Qingnian finished reading the letter’s contents.
The content was very simple, just as he had guessed, the White Cloth Sect wanted to draw himself in, and was willing to give himself a very high status to overthrow the rule of the Empress and establish a new Great Wei together.
Putting the epistle aside, it burned itself into a white mist at that moment.
And Xiao Er’s voice followed.
“Lord Xu, you are highly valued by the above, but I have heard that the Sect Master is extremely appreciative of you.”
“Ever since you wrote your superb article, the above has been very concerned about you, if you join us, glory and wealth or something, it’s too superficial, the future position of Prime Minister of Great Wei could be yours.”
“It’s not even impossible to be crowned king, Lord Xu.”
Junior said in a pressed voice, flatteringly.
He was a catcher, and his position in the White Clothes Sect was not low but not high either, so naturally he fawned over Xu Qingnian.
After all, who was Xu Qingnian? If such a talent were to be absorbed into the White Clothes Sect, it would be a great blessing for the White Clothes Sect.
Of course, he was not stupid and knew that if he wanted to recruit Xu Qingnian into the White Clothes Sect, he would have to pay a great price.
Otherwise, if he didn’t work as a serious Minister of the Household Department, he would come to rebel against them? It’s not like he’s stupid.
“Allow me to think, after some days, then I will hand over to you.”
Xu Qingnian spoke out, you are asking yourself to say yes now, isn’t that taking people for fools?
Hesitation was a very normal thing.
As for why not sternly refuse?
To be honest, now that we’ve made so many enemies, it’s impossible to keep making enemies, right? You have to make some friends, right?
If we don’t make some power of our own, we will be finished sooner or later.
If you really want to refuse now, they will probably have a lot of ways to come after you, but it’s not a bad idea to take a step back and cooperate for a while.
We can use them for mutual benefit, isn’t that great?
Of course the White Cloth Sect is an organization that Xu Qingnian would definitely not have touched if he had the option.
“Good, Lord Xu, you will be given time from above, just don’t take too long.”
“One more thing, Lord Xu, the thing that Wu Yan handed over to you, can you hand it over to us.”
Xiao Er smiled.
“En.” Xu Qingnian took out from his bosom the small booklet that Wu Yan had handed to him at the beginning, which he had long since done in a one-to-one reduction.
“Many thanks, Lord Xu.”
“Lord Xu, allow me to say a few more words, so you don’t feel bored.”
“We are not some kind of rebel group, but to overthrow injustice, we have also been searching for the relic son of Emperor Wu, and if we find it, we will rise up, so you are still a subject of Great Wei as usual, without any betrayal.”
“Furthermore, Lord Xu, we are much more powerful than you think, and this is what I was told to give you from above; if you need us to do anything for you, just take this order out, and our disciples will seek you out at the first opportunity, and when we learn of your request, we will also immediately ask for instructions from above.”
“If there is no major problem, we will also do our best to do a good job for your Excellency.”
The other party said this, blowing the White Cloth Sect out of the water.
And Xu Qingnian could not help but speak.
“That’s fine, help me a*sa*sinate Prince Huaining, this guy will come after me sooner or later, if I kill him, I am willing to join the White Clothes Sect.”
Xu Qingnian said casually.
But as soon as the words were finished, the latter frowned slightly and thought seriously again.
It left Xu Qingnian a little confused.
A Prince of the Great Wei, you really dare to think about it? Playing for real?
“Your Excellency, a*sa*sinating Prince Huaining is a bit difficult, but if you want to do something against him, it is not difficult, but of course if your Excellency must have Prince Huaining die, I will ask for instructions from above.”
The other party said in a serious manner.
“Forget it, forget it, it’s just talk, all right, I will come back to you in a few days, within a month, don’t come to me for nothing, and don’t come to me for anything.”
Xu Qingnian had nothing more to say, the matter of the White Cloth Sect could be put aside for the time being.
It was best not to come to oneself if there was nothing to do.
“Yes, Lord Xu, by the way Lord Xu, my name is Wu Changyi, my lord, I will leave now.”
Wu Changyi said so.
“En, oh yes, let me ask you one more thing.”
“You are here as an inside man, was it arranged from above?”
“I was referring to your identity.”
Xu Qingnian couldn’t help but ask.
According to the normal routine, shouldn’t this kind of rebellion organization, the internal agent kept in Kyoto, be some kind of flower girl, or some kind of beauty?
How come a junior was arranged?
“Back to Lord Xu, that’s not true.”
“At the beginning, the top was going to arrange for a beauty to come here as an inside man, but I didn’t agree.
“Firstly, as a Confucian scholar, Lord Xu may not like beauty.”
“Second, if a beauty is chosen, won’t it be bad to be noticed all the time, in case it reveals itself.”
“Thirdly, originally I wouldn’t dare to propose it, but I’ve actually been following you, Your Excellency, and know that your school of thought is called Knowing and Doing, and I heard people say that it means doing what you think of, so I volunteered to say it.”
“As a result, the top was very happy and thought that my plan was not bad, so they let me come and take over, Your Excellency, do you think my qualifications are okay? Can I join your academy?”
The other party fawned and smiled.
Xu Qingyi: “……”
This Wu Changyi is really a crouching dragon.
And joining the academy?
The unity of knowledge and action has been played like this, it is truly impressive.
“I will come to you if there is something.”
“Take your time.”
Xu Qingnian did not give a reply, but simply said.
The latter didn’t think much of it and simply bid farewell.
After he left, Xu Qingnian couldn’t help but rub his temples, fortunately the White Cloth Sect was a little softer on himself and not too tough.
Xu Qingnian was already prepared for the White Cloth Sect to come up with two choices: cooperate and give you benefits, or not cooperate and you die.
If that were the case, I really don’t know what to do.
The good thing is that this rebel group still has a brain, there are good and bad things about dealing with smart people, the good thing is that one can be circuitous and save face, the bad thing is that one has to be cautious at every step, not even one wrong step.
“Castrati party, castrati party, you guys need to develop quickly, once you have developed, my life will be better.”
Xu Qingnian definitely does not intend to show his face, he will definitely bash the castrati in all kinds of ways, on the surface I am at odds with the castrati, behind the scenes the eunuchs, give the master to kill.
Right now, as long as we wait for the waterwheel project once it is implemented, we will have to train this group of eunuchs wholeheartedly ourselves, and all kinds of special training will have to be done all over again, none of them can be missing.
After about half a pillar of incense had pa*sed.
Finally, Miss Liu’s figure appeared.
“Sir Xu, the girl in white is already decorated, you can go anytime, the boss told me to tell you to have a good time, no need to wait for him.”
Miss Liu said so.
“Good, thanks for your trouble.”
After Xu Qingnian heard this, she immediately got up, and then opened the door of her room, and went with Miss Liu to find the girl in white.
The box inside the palace, Xu Qingnian held it in her hand, and Miss Liu was very careful, so she naturally knew what it was, and she couldn’t help but envy Bai Yi in her heart.
And so it was.
Xu Qingnian once again came outside the door of the white-clothed girl’s room.
“Sir Xu, my slave will retire first.”
Miss Liu opened her mouth to bid farewell.
“Thank you.”
Xu Qingnian arched his hand.
Soon, after Miss Liu had left, Xu Qingnian knocked on the door of the room.
The sound was not loud, but soon some rustling sounds rang out.
Immediately afterwards the door of the room opened.
The girl in white was standing in the room, as she had been when we first met, giving people a very clear and beautiful feeling, with a slightly delicate brow, still wearing a white gauze dress today.
Like lamb’s white jade skin, goose egg face, willow leaf eyebrows, with a lightly powdered face, exquisite and clear beauty.
“I have met you, Miss White-clothed.”
Xu Qingnian gave a slight bow towards the other party, Xu Qingnian had some guilt in his heart after making a mess last time ah.
“Duke Xu has spoken highly of you.”
“Xu Gongzi, please come in.”
The girl in white invited Xu Qingnian inside.
Xu Qingnian smiled faintly and walked into the room, before placing the box in his hand on the table and saying.
“Miss White-clothed, this is the dim sum I brought from the palace, carefully made by the Imperial Kitchen.”
“Last time, there was some misunderstanding, what exactly was the misunderstanding, it would be hard for Xu to say, this item will be taken as compensation for Miss Baiyi.”
Xu Qingnian was generous enough to apologise for being wrong, and for being mean to someone for no reason.
When this was said, the white-clothed girl was a little surprised, and then she hurriedly spoke.
“Sir Xu, this object cannot be accepted by a slave, it is something from the royal family, how can a slave, a Qing herald, be worthy of it.”
“Also, Sir Xu, my slave is not angry, nor do I dare to be, Sir Xu was like that last time, there must be something that my slave did not do well, it is my slave who should apologise.”
The girl in white was a little surprised, she had not expected Xu Qingnian to find herself today, she had even come to her door to apologise, and she had also brought royal snacks, how could this not surprise her?
“No, no, no.”
“Miss Baiyi, there is no such thing as being worthy of being worthy of not being worthy, besides it was Xu who was wrong, it was Xu who was wrong.”
“Miss Baiyi, come, try some first and see if the royal stuff is good.”
Xu Qingnian was not macho, he opened the box straight away and invited the girl in white to taste it.
There were eight pieces of pastry in the box, in different colours and squared off.
For this kind of pastry, Xu Qingnian had little interest.
And the girl in white wanted to refuse, but Xu Qingnian picked up a piece directly and said, “Hand, reach out.”
The girl in white stretched out her hand.
Xu Qingnian placed it directly on her jade hand.
“Eat it, don’t waste it, look at you, you are quite thin, you need to replenish your nutrition, so thin you will definitely suffer after giving birth to a child.”
Xu Qingnian seriously educated.
This is really not a slight, after all, a bigger a*s is easier to give birth to a child, but the body bone also needs to be fatter, too thin to give birth to a child is very troublesome, the medical level of Great Wei is just like that.
Even with some elixirs, it can only be said that the risk is reduced and the hardness of one’s own body is the way to go.
But when she said this, the girl in white couldn’t help but blush and lowered her head slightly, looking at the pastry in her palm and taking a few sips, embarra*sed to look directly at Xu Qingnian.
The ancient woman was gentle, she ate everything with a sip, she was very conscious of her image, but her tongue was not very flexible, but it was normal, it was good.
The first time you think about it, some women don’t say they don’t have an image, and they don’t move and laugh, and their mouths open as wide as if they want to swallow someone.
The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who have been in the business for a long time.
Ah …… This.
Surveying the room, Xu Qingnian looked around for a moment and shook his head slightly.
“Girl in white, this room of yours is not very well decorated.”
“You are wearing a white dress, and there is also some white veil hanging in the room, although I don’t know why the girl likes white so much.”
“But this looks a bit odd, as if …… like a hearse.”
“You can change it, it’s good to change it to green, it’s eye catching and can make people feel happier, not dead.”
Xu Qingnian opened her mouth and made some suggestions of her own.
The girl in white is very cold, not the kind of coldness that rejects people, but a kind of coldness that is not involved in the world, a bit wary and a bit lonely.
To put it bluntly, it was a bit of a jade syndrome.
The girl in white, who had already eaten half of the pastry in her hand, could not help but look up, her beautiful eyes looking around her.
To her aesthetics, this was fine, nothing wrong with it.
It was only when Xu Qingnian opened her mouth like this, she immediately nodded and said.
“En, Sir Xu, my slave will have the maid replace these tomorrow.”
The girl in white said so.
“Not really, it depends on the girl’s personal preference, I was just saying that.”
Xu Qingnian spoke, then got up and went to the window.
The sky was already covered with dark clouds, and rain was falling, accompanied by a gentle breeze, blowing the tips of her hair.
Listening to the sound of the rain, Xu Qingnian stood with his hands behind his back and slowly spoke.
“A good rain knows the season when spring is happening.”
“With the wind diving into the night, moistening things without a sound.”
“The clouds are dark on the wilderness path, but the fire on the river boat is bright.”
“Where the red is wet at dawn, the flowers are heavy in the city of brocade.”
Xu Qingnian spoke slowly, he did not gather the slightest talent, but simply recited, suppressing the vision that should have appeared.
The girl in white in the room, she was the head herald of the Peach Blossom Nunnery, not only because of her beauty, but also because of her talent.
She loves to read, and if we talk about knowledge, she is not weaker than some talented people, but it is just that women cannot gather their talent.
As for why she could not gather her talent, no one knows.
This poem by Xu Qingnian was naturally understandable to her.
It was a beautiful poem, and it was in keeping with the scene, especially the line, “With the wind diving into the night, moistening things without a sound,” which somehow made people feel an indescribable mood.
This poem should be the best poem in the world.
The girl in white was somewhat baffled as she looked at Xu Qingnian’s back, her eyes filled with curiosity.
How could Xu Qingnian have produced such a perfect poem with his mouth?
What the hell is this …… person? What a person.
She was shocked and at the same time felt admiration for Xu Qingnian’s talent.
The only thing is that she is not good at expressing her inner thoughts, if it were any other Qing herder, she would have praised her at this time.
But she was a little embarra*sed.
And when Xu Qingnian slowly turned around, the white-clothed girl even lowered her head, eating the pastry in her palm.
“Miss White-clothed, there is something that Xu is quite curious about.”
“You all don’t have surnames, only first names, so when will you have surnames?”
Xu Qingnian spoke.
His main purpose for coming here was to apologise and then give some small gifts so that he would not blame himself.
So he intended to stay for a while, so he couldn’t just leave after delivering something, right? Wouldn’t that seem even more odd?
If he hadn’t thought of any good poems at the moment, Xu Qingnian had planned to write a poem for the girl in white.
It would also be a kind of reparation.
So at the moment, Xu Qingnian was a bit bored and asked curiously.
“In reply to Mr Xu, the surname of a slave can only be given to me after I have been ransomed, but of course if there is a talented person willing to give me the surname, it is not impossible.”
The girl in white said so.
“Ransom?”
“Dare I ask, how much silver tael is needed to ransom you?”
Xu Qingnian asked.
It was normal for a Qing Herald to redeem herself, after all, the Peach Blossom Nunnery had raised her for so many years, and had invited many great people to cultivate the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, so the cost was not small.
“One million taels of silver or so.”
The girl in white replied calmly.
Xu Qingnian: “……”
D*mn you, a million taels of silver at the drop of a hat? Who could afford this? Apart from some big money masters, who could afford it?
However, in front of a woman, Xu Qingnian still didn’t want to seem too embarra*sed.
“One million taels? It’s not too expensive, it’s just a pity that Xu doesn’t have one.”
“But Miss Baiyi, if Xu someday has the money, he will come to redeem you, it is a kind of reparation.”
Xu Qingnian said seriously.
Don’t look at a Qing Herald as elegant, in fact this is the golden age before you can be proud of it a little, but after you reach thirty, you must marry out, and if you can’t marry out, you must stay at the Peach Blossom Nunnery for life.
When all is said and done, the fate of a purveyor is just a lot more innocent than that of a hooker woman.
The truly powerful, or the great families, did not allow their descendants to marry herdswomen, but concubines were more or less the same, but the status of concubines was far worse than that of the main family.
Not only is the status of a concubine lower, but the fate of a concubine is also miserable, as she is subjected to all kinds of humiliation at home by the main family, and the subordinates do not take her seriously.
It was not a scandal at all, it was a feudal society and there was nothing to be done about it.
After all, in ancient times, men’s status was based on their own blood, and when war broke out, it was basically the men who went to war, leaving the women at home, and this was not the case.
Of course the poor were not entitled to have concubines. Xu Qingnian used to see people saying that they wanted to go back to ancient times and have three wives and four concubines, so wash up and go to sleep, the poor faced the problem of not being able to find a wife wherever they were.
Rich people, no matter where they were, were how they should be, was how they were.
So it would naturally be best if the girl in white could be redeemed, after all, it would be a good karma to keep her body intact and give her a sum of money to live well on her own.
But when the girl in white heard that Xu Qingnian wanted to ransom her, her heart inexplicably jumped.
She had admiration for Xu Qingnian, but no affection yet. It was impossible to say that she liked Xu Qingnian, but she had a great fondness for him.
It was true that she was a little nervous and overwhelmed by the fact that she was being offered a ransom for herself.
In her eyes, ransoming herself was actually a disguised way of buying herself back as a concubine.
However Xu Qingnian did not think too much about it and then asked.
“Miss Baiyi, what do you like on a regular basis?”
Xu Qingnian asked.
“Fiddling with musical instruments and reading books, where is Sir Xu?”
The girl in white asked.
“Me? On weekdays I like to arrange flowers, read books and read spring and autumn.”
Xu Qingnian said seriously.
“Flower arranging? You have such a hobby, Mr Xu?”
The girl in white was a little curious, wasn’t this something that women liked to do?
“Yes, it is more elegant, but the flowers that Xu Mou arranges are usually more beautiful.”
Xu Qingnian laughed blandly, then sipped his tea, it was only when he came across this kind of woman who was not versed in the world that he would casually say a few words.
On weekdays, it was still rather strict.
I have to say, being alone in a room with a woman, there is indeed some unspoken feeling, after all, food is S*x, and he is not an impaired man, there are only scruples, it is impossible to even say a few words, right?
“So that’s how it is, my lord is really elegant.”
The girl in white said seriously.
The slightly obsessive-compulsive Xu Qingnian couldn’t help but subconsciously reach out his hand to wipe away this little bit of residue from the corner of her mouth, so as not to make it unsightly.
But when she touched the corner of the girl in white’s mouth, Xu Qingnian keenly noticed that the other party’s physique was very cold, incomparably cold, and seemed to have little heat, and at first glance, her bones were not good.
The girl in white, however, instantly filled her face with blood red, instantly lowered her head and subconsciously stepped back a little, her heart beating even faster.
“White girl, pastry I stay here, you have nothing to eat some, and one more thing, although I can not redeem you now, but sooner or later will help you.”
“I’ll give you a surname in advance, let’s call you Luo, Luo Baiyi, it’s quite nice.”
“Let’s go.”
Xu Qingnian got up and shook his robe, with a gentle smile on his face, he still had something to do, so he couldn’t sit for long.
And when the girl in white heard Xu Qingnian was leaving, she immediately stood up, her delicate and pretty little face, still red.
“Xu …… Xu Gongzi, are you about to leave?”
Bai Yi spoke with a small stutter.
“Come and find you next time.”
Xu Qingnian smiled and nodded, and didn’t think much of it, leaving straight away.
And Bai Yi looked at Xu Qingnian, who had left, and inexplicably had some strange feelings in her heart.
When Xu Qingnian had completely left, Bai Yi closed the door of the room behind her and sat back on her own bed, her mood incomparably tense, her bright and godly beautiful eyes, moreover, looking somewhat silly and cute.
“He just touched me.”
“Luo ……”
“Luo Baiyi ……”
The white-clothed girl sat there, her little heart beating continuously, while involuntarily chanting the name.
And at this moment.
Xu Qingnian, who had walked out of the room, was about to go to Zhang Ruhui.
However a voice suddenly rang out.
“This prince has asked out Miss Baiyi four times, and Miss Baiyi has refused me four times, and now you are telling this prince that she has asked out someone else? Is it because you look down on me, my prince?”
“As a member of the royal family of the Si Long clan, do you despise me by refusing me? Believe it or not, we will go to His Majesty some day to censure you and the others.”
An angry voice rang out.
Originally, when he heard this voice, Xu Qingnian did not feel anything, but when he heard the words “White Girl”, Xu Qingnian still stopped.
“Guests, you have really misunderstood, it is not that we do not look up to you, but there are rules within the Peach Blossom Nunnery, it is up to them to decide whether to see or not to see the Qing Heralds.”
“I have already told Miss Baiyi several times, but she has refused, so I can’t do anything about it.”
A slightly helpless voice rang out, it was someone from the Peach Blossom Temple.
“There’s nothing you can do?”
“A bunch of Wh*res, what do they really think they are?”
“That’s right, that’s right, the Empyrean Prince came to your place to give you face, yet you and the rest of you are not willing to eat the wine.”
“Believe it or not, the Empress will directly report to His Majesty and seal your shop?”
“Hmph, a purser? Isn’t it just a matter of not paying the right amount of money? Is ten thousand taels enough? Not enough this emperor adds another 10,000 taels, no matter what, 100,000 taels of silver.”
“This prince doesn’t believe that she won’t accept? The woman my prince wants, let alone a Qing herald, is not unobtainable even if she is a Great Wei princess.”
“A mere Great Wei woman, or a prostitute, refusing me four times, are you really not afraid that this prince will be furious?”
Several people followed and shouted.
The words were also extremely unpleasant, opening their mouths as Wh*res and closing their mouths as B*tches.
In a flash, Xu Qingnian’s gaze went cold.
It was not for the sake of the girl in white, but the arrogance carried in these people’s words that made Xu Qingnian inexplicably unhappy.
Creak.
The next moment, Xu Qingnian pushed the door of the room open.
Inside the elegant room.
Seven or eight Fae were sitting in it, with dozens of people who looked like guards, holding swords and weapons, protecting behind them.
When they saw Xu Qingnian’s sudden intrusion, they were instantly murderous.
The foreigner at the head of the group was dark-skinned, tall, and not incomparably ugly, but a bit ugly, wearing a whip and thick clothes, showing the style of a barbarian.
As for the few people around him, they were not too bad, but next to them were the Fan merchants.
“How dare you! Who are you?”
“Get out!”
Several voices rang out, the voices of the guards, directly telling Xu Qingnian to get out.
However, Xu Qingnian’s gaze contained a cold intent as he looked directly at the foreign prince at the head of the group.
When the few merchants saw Xu Qingnian, they looked scared out of their wits and immediately got up and told the guards to put down their swords.
“Quickly put it away, this is the Minister of Household Affairs, Xu Shouren, Lord Xu.”
“Quickly, put it away, don’t mess around.”
When the few merchants saw Xu Qingnian, they were even more scared than seeing a ghost, and directly told these guards to put away their swords.
If you were to take a knife to the head of the Ministry of Household Affairs, wouldn’t that be a death wish?
If it was any other minister, it would be fine, but against Xu Qingnian, it was purely a death wish.
When Emperor Si Long saw Xu Qingnian, he could not help but frown, and a hint of disgust flashed across his eyes.
But it soon disappeared and was replaced by a cold and fierce intent.
It was not that he despised Xu Qingnian, but Xu Qingnian came in with a cold stare, so naturally he would not show a good look.
“Great Wei Kyoto, who allowed you to hold a sword?”
Xu Qingnian’s gaze fell on the group of guards.
With a single word, the scene instantly went cold.
“Lord Xu, Lord Xu, misunderstanding, misunderstanding, they are Emperor Kong’s guards.”
“Lord Xu, for your introduction, this is the Si Long Imperial Family, the second prince, named Khong.”
“Yes, yes, Lord Xu, misunderstanding, misunderstanding, it’s all a misunderstanding.”
Several Fan merchants hurriedly apologised towards Xu Qingnian, their attitude humble and not half as arrogant as before.
Others might not be afraid of Xu Qingnian, but it was impossible for them not to be.
When Xu Qingnian killed the merchants, the scene was still fresh in their minds.
“The Si Long clan, a foreign clan on horses, a clan that is good at riding and shooting.”
Xu Qingnian slowly spoke, he knew about the Si Long clan, a foreign nation, good at riding and shooting, very fierce.
When this was said, the crowd nodded, and several Fan merchants were even smiling.
“So it’s Sima Longkong.”
Xu Qingnian continued to speak, without any laughter, but only mentioned calmly.
“Sima Longkong?”
The crowd was a little curious, but they soon understood what Xu Qingnian meant, Si Long was the clan name, Ma was to describe being good at riding horses, and Kong was his name.
A man of culture is different.
But it was too late to praise Xu Qingnian’s literary skills.
Xu Qingnian’s voice rang out once more.
“In the capital of Great Wei, it is strictly forbidden to carry personal weapons and swords, except for the Kyoto officials, so this should not be your first time in Great Wei, right?”
“This is a mistake that deserves a sentence of fifty, but since you are celebrating His Majesty’s birthday, I will slap one of you on the mouth for fifty.”
Xu Qingnian said indifferently.
However, these words were incomparably cold.
When the Empress heard these words, his face instantly turned gloomy.
The rest of the guards even looked at Xu Qingnian with anger.
Making them slap their own mouths?
Was Xu Qingnian worthy of it?
“Lord Xu, can you give me a face?”
But in the end, Emperor Kong spoke up, hoping that Xu Qingnian would give him face.
“I will count to three, if you do not slap your mouth for fifty, you are disrespecting the Great Wei court officials and will be detained in the Ministry of Punishment’s prison for six months, and now that it is His Majesty’s birthday, you will be dealt with severely and start for one year.”
“Just a reminder, this official is from the Ministry of Punishment.”
Xu Qingnian didn’t even look at the Empress Empress, these foreign fannish nations were not even considered human in his eyes.
“You!”
Emperor Emperors wanted to get angry, but a few foreign merchants instantly suppressed Emperor Emperors, and then angrily rebuked the group of guards.
“Why don’t you hurry up and slap your mouth!”
“If you don’t want to die, then listen to me.”
His voice was cold and vicious as he shouted.
They knew what kind of person Xu Qingnian was, so if they really wanted to make a scene, what could they do if they killed these guards?
He dared to kill even the county king, not to mention a few guards, they would believe that Xu Qingnian had really killed this prince.
The guards looked at me, and I looked at you, and frankly they were reluctant, but they could see that the merchants were very serious.
So it was, but taking a deep breath, they slapped their own mouths.
Slap, slap, slap.
The sound of the slap on the mouth was loud and extremely harsh to the ears of the Empress Empress.
However, to Xu Qingnian’s ears, it sounded wonderful.
Sure enough, the pleasure of people and people could not be shared.
“Empyrean Prince, Mister Xu is here to remind you of three things.”
“First, if Mister Xu ever hears you make such remarks about how the women of Great Wei are, Mister Xu will personally behead you.”
“Secondly, this is Great Wei, and it is none of Xu’s business what Emperor Kong does in his own country, but if you dare to overstep the mark in Great Wei in any way, you will be arrested and punished if you deserve it.”
“Third, don’t look at me with such eyes again, or I’ll smack you, believe it or not!”
Xu Qingnian’s gaze grew colder and colder as he looked at Emperor Kong Zi and said this.
This fellow’s eyes were filled with ferocity, hating to kill himself in general.
If you have the guts, then do it.
He couldn’t defeat a prince of a county, but he couldn’t defeat a prince of a state?
If he dares to stare at me again, I will beat you up with two fists, so that your mother won’t even know you.
Such domineering words made the Empress’s lungs explode with anger.
This was too arrogant, wasn’t it?
He was countless times more arrogant than himself.
Even he himself did not dare to be so arrogant in his own country, how could this Xu Qingnian, a mere minister of the Household Department, dare to be so arrogant?
Why?
“Lord Xu, Lord Xu, the Empress is not angry with you, that’s how it is on their side, to treat others with respect is to glare at them, the customs are different, the customs are different.”
“Lord Xu, you have the grace to come here too, that that, I’ll pay the bill for Lord Xu today, I’ll pay it.”
The foreign merchants were trying to please Xu Qingnian, not wanting the conflict to become intense.
And Xu Qingnian looked at the welcoming woman and could not help but speak.
“You continue to deal with it, my expenses, let them pay, I gave the white girl a reward of five thousand taels, let them give it to you when the time comes, and you give it to the white girl.”
“And no matter what, the purveyors people don’t want to take on clients if they don’t want to, whoever dares to force it, report it directly to the officials, the Ministry of Penalty will directly pull them out and behead them, this official would like to see if anyone dares to spread wildness in the land of Great Wei.”
“Also, later I will tell your boss, from now on, this kind of foreign barbarians should not be received, they have no culture at all, no different from wild boars.”
“No matter how much more the Peach Blossom Temple, don’t take business from such people, there’s no shortage of that.”
Xu Qingnian informed the welcoming woman, but these words were extremely hard to hear.
The foreign merchants lowered their heads and smiled sarcastically, not daring to reply.
As for the foreigners, their eyes were on fire, calling them barbarians and wild boars.
This was a great shame.
If the merchants hadn’t stopped them, they would have wanted to go up and kill Xu Qingnian.
“Let’s go.”
Xu Qingnian turned around and left.
He was completely pa*sing by and could not listen to such foreigners spouting Sh*t.
Insulting a woman in white was not enough, but directly insulting a woman in Great Wei was ridiculous, such people were even worse than pigs and dogs.
If it wasn’t for the fact that Great Wei was unwilling to start a war now, Xu Qingnian would have wanted to chop such people straight up, one dead one less scourge.
“Take your time, Lord Xu.”
The woman who greeted the guest was overwhelmed with emotion, but outwardly she was still calm, only the smile in her eyes could not be hidden.
Xu Qingnian was indeed overbearing just now, but this kind of overbearing made people happy inside, ah.
After Xu Qingnian had left.
The Empress looked at these Fan merchants with dead eyes, gritted his teeth and spoke out in his own country’s language.
“Why, to be like this?”
He said it almost word by word.
“Your Imperial Highness, this man is not ordinary, if you provoke him, I can guarantee that none of us will leave alive.”
Pan Shang was crying, he hated Xu Qingnian too.
But what could be done?
Who was Xu Qingnian?
The most popular person in Wei today.
His Majesty trusted him.
He is trusted by His Majesty and valued by the Six Ministries.
A sixth-ranked scholar.
A great talent in the world.
Friend of the Marquis.
The nephew of the Duke of China.
How do you want to fight him? How do you think you can fight? If Xu Qingnian scolds them, they have nothing to say, but if they dare to scold Xu Qingnian.
The plaintiff is Xu Qingnian, the judge is Xu Qingnian, and it is also Xu Qingnian who decides the case.
You’re playing with him? Aren’t you sending yourself to your death?
Emperor Empty did not speak anymore.
Instead, he looked deadly at Xu Qingnian, who had already disappeared.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and said.
“Go!”
After saying this word, he got up and left, furious.
But just then, Pan Shang immediately pulled the other party back and said somewhat timidly.
“Your Highness, let’s just leave later, in case we run into each other out and about, it’s not good.”
The Empty Prince: “……”
His fists were clenched deadly, making a clicking sound, but such anger.
But he could only swallow it by himself!
Angry!
So angry!
What makes Great Wei so arrogant?
And what makes Xu Qingnian so arrogant?
In a few years’ time, the iron hors*men of the Dragon Clan will be able to crush the capital of the Great Wei, and then all the women will be our slaves.
The Empty Prince roared in his heart.
And at the same time.
Xu Qingnian had already met Zhang Ruhui.
Zhang Ruhui had been waiting in the elegant room for a long time.
Upon seeing Xu Qingnian, he immediately rose and saluted.
“Greetings, my brother! Xiandi, did you have a good time?”
Zhang Ruhui had a smile on his face, which caused Xu Qingnian to frown slightly in his heart.
What does this mean?
What do you mean by having fun?
What kind of fun do you have here?
But these thoughts, Xu Qingnian put away and instead said with a serious face.
“Brother Zhang, there is a big deal, will you do it!”
The voice rang out.
Zhang Ruhui was surprised.
