Chapter 13 Yi Guolai

Chapter 13 Yi Guolai (Part I)

The envoy of Yi is here!

Hearing the news, Mo Zhu, who had always been happy and angry, stood up from the seat. He took a few steps and grabbed the informant's collar and asked urgently, "Is this letter accurate?" Who is coming?"

The little school was scared and stammered, "Yes...Yes, after receiving the customs clearance documents handed over by the envoy of the State of Yi, my general immediately sent a villain to deliver the letter to the military division. The messenger is... the servant of the Ministry of Ceremonies of the State of Yi, which is equivalent to our... Si Lisi..."

Mo Zhu has understood the newly established official system of the State of Yi and interrupted him, "I know that. Tell me your name quickly."

"It's the master of the banquet."

"Oh..." There was a smile on Mo Zhuo's face. Xi Qun didn't know that he had seen it once and knew that this was He Ran's closest attendant. He Ran gave him an official position as a servant of the Ministry of Ceremonies, and it was obviously intended to send him a decent envoy.

He waved his hand to the messenger and sat down slowly. He Ran finally sent someone here. Mo Yu's heart was warm. He had already known the news that Yi Guo could not stop sending messengers to urge the State of Zhao to send troops to attack Shun. If He Ran hadn't been hindered in the back, the state of Kang, who was treacherous ministers and chaotic, could not have been so safe. People with insight in the government and the opposition all praised the He military division for Kang. Affectionate and righteous. If he sends Xi Qun, will he have any good strategies to teach him? Thinking of this, Mo Yu sighed gently. No matter how capable He Ran was, but after all, how could he control the affairs here thousands of miles away? He only hoped that he would send envoys this time to arouse the Empress Dowager's little miss and Qingming. This was already the best result.

I think so, but Mo Zhuan can't help but hold back the wisps of hope in his heart, hoping that He Ran can magically bring a turning point to the State of Kang. No one can explore his brother's depth, maybe... Thinking about it, Mo Yu raised his voice and spread the messengers of the three military divisions in a row. After the secret, he watched them leave quickly. He was a little more at ease. In any case, he had to ensure that the envoy of Yi arrived in Dechang safely first. He asked himself that he could do this. After all, he was still a military division of Kang, and those chaotic ministers dared not dare to be bold. The blatantly tearing of his face to endanger the people to be protected by the military division. Besides, he is still the envoy of the State of Yi. The more publicity Xi Qun is, the safer it is.

As He Ran expected, although Mo Yu was forbearing, he was by no means sitting and waiting for death, so he told Xi Qun to submit the documents to the border gate of Kang in a dignified way. He believed that Mo Yu would get the news earlier than those treacherous parties, and he also had the ability to protect Xi Qun from arriving in Dechang smoothly and seeing Qi Min. The matter was to develop according to his expectations. After Xi Qun entered the State of Kang, the garrison along the road took over the escort and beat gongs and drums to show grandiance. From time to time, local officials blocked the road to greet him. These people either read the past feelings with He Ran or the recent help of Yiguo, and some of them were instructed by Mo Yu, so Xi Qun entered. Not long after the State of Kang, there was a lot of rumors in Dechang. Although a group of people were unwilling to meet the envoys of the country when they got the news, there was nothing they could do about the considerable situation.

When Qi Min heard about Yi Guo's envoy, she immediately met him at the court. When she saw Xi Qun, she showed a bright smile on her face and said kindly, "Mr. Xi, you are really prosperous. It seems that He Junshi treats you well."

It is rare for the empress dowager to be so kind to foreign countries. Many people smiled and congratulated Xi Qun one after another. There is a rare warm atmosphere in the court.

Xi Qun came forward to salute and thanked the ministers before submitting the national letter. This national book is just meaningless false phrases. Qi Min put it aside with a brief look. She politely asked some words such as Yi Wang Anhao, and then waved her hand to the court and called the inner hall to ask questions.

After Xi Qun saw the ceremony again in the inner hall, he found that the pretty face of the Empress Dowager Kang had sank, with ice hidden in it. He was secretly shocked and bowed his head and did not dare to gasp.

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

Xi Qun naturally knew who this "he" meant. He bowed and said, "To the empress dowager, he... The military division is very healthy, but he often misses the empress dowager, and he is much less happy."

"Hmm! He taught you this, didn't he? Qi Min curled her lips disdainfully.

"The Empress Dowager worries too much. What the villain said is indeed the truth. Only the villain knows this. This kind of thinking military division can't tell the outsiders. Just because the military division is only the villains around when the empress dowager is here, the military division will talk to the villain when it is difficult to vent the feeling of missing the empress dowager. Of course, the military division will not explicitly express the feeling of missing. You have to talk to me about the big and small things here, but the little man can understand what the military division is thinking. He Ran taught him a lot about similar answers, and Xi Qun had already practiced all the way. In private, He Ran specifically told the empress dowager to call herself a "little man" rather than a "foreign minister", in order to make Qi Min feel that they were a family, and Xi Qun was not a messenger but a minister.

Qi Min was speechless for a long time after listening to this. Just as Xi Qun was relieved, she listened to the empress dowager's clapping a few cases and scolded, "He is not dead and very healthy. What did he send you to do?" Why didn't he come himself!"

How to answer this? He Ran hasn't taught him. Xi Qun is a little stupid. No one would have thought that the Empress Dowager would ask such a thing.

Qi Min heard that He Ran thought of herself from time to time. Her heart surged, and her behavior was wrong for a moment. After noticing it, she hurriedly stabilized her mind and said, "Did he ask you to bring back what I sent last time?"

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

Qi Min opened the seal. When she saw it, her pretty face immediately changed color. She stared at Xi Qun and said, "What does he mean?" It turned out that Qi Min sent a torn picture scroll. The picture scroll was brought to Mo Zhu by He Ran after drawing in the imperial capital. When Qi Min saw the scene of He Ran's own painting from acquaintance to blind date, she had mixed feelings in her heart, and then because of love and hatred, she hated him for being ruthlessly. Under the violent emotional fluctuations, she tore the next page casually. It was shattered, and after the resentment was slightly flat, she regretted it very much. The torn page painted the scene of her playing He Ran for the first time in the other courtyard of the palace. The form and expressions of the two people were extremely expressive. Thinking that everything was irreparable, these paintings were excellent ideas. It was a pity that this page was missing, so she sent someone to send the torn page to him. She wanted He Ran to draw another one. The brocade box that she didn't want to send back was still a torn picture scroll, and there was no new painting.

Xi Qun said at a loss, "The military division has never told the villain what is in it, the villain..."

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

Xi Qun hurriedly said, "Yes, the military master asked the villain to respect the empress dowager: foreign things are not enough to cherish, the ideal heart is the most precious, the new work is only ink, broken into tears. The military division said that the old is better than the new. If the empress dowager doesn't give up, she will naturally know how to save it.

After listening to this, Qi Min stared at the broken scrolls in the brocade box and thought about these words silently in her heart. She sighed gently for a long time. Suddenly, she looked at Xi Qun puzzledly and asked, "Is he too lazy to write? Why don't you write a letter to me? No wonder she has this question. Although Xi Qun's words are obscure, they can still reveal some information. This kind of words should not be conveyed by others. It is reasonable to write them in the letter.

Xi Qun smiled bitterly and said, "The military division originally had a letter to the empress dowager, but before I left, the military division took back the letter again."

"Why is this?" Qi Min was even more puzzled.

Xi Qun sighed and said, "The military master said that now the empress dowager is less about the government, and everything should be more careful. If this letter falls into the hands of outsiders, it will not only hurt the face of the empress dowager, but also kill me. But the military division really has a lot to say to the empress dowager, and it is not easy for me to convey, so the military division asked me to replace He sighed helplessly in front of the Empress Dowager. With that, he really looked helpless and sad, and sighed heavily.

Qi Min's heart trembled with that sigh, as if she heard He Ran's depression that she missed her and couldn't express it. She also knew that He Ran was warning to her. Even the envoy of the State of Yi was worried that he would die in the State of Kang. The rioter had reached the point where he had covered the sky with one hand.
