Chapter 356 Envoy Qi Zhou
After finishing speaking, he added: "Why are you impolite? I didn't write it down. You can understand it yourself, leader."

Xu Yue glanced at Sima Yi helplessly, "Mr. Sima, will I really thank you for doing this?
Sima Yi raised his eyebrows, he didn't understand what strange words the leader said.

Xu Yue didn't expect anyone other than her family to understand her occasional nonsense, so she raised her eyes to look at Qi Zhou, the envoy's representative sitting on the bench opposite, who was sitting on pins and needles, and asked with a smile:

"Master Qi, regarding the impoliteness in the letter, do you know what it means?"

Qi Zhou was stared at by Xu Dalang behind him with chills all over his body, now seeing Xu Yue asking with a pretended innocent smile, his heart skipped a beat.

Before coming to Yuyang County, although he already knew that the three brothers and sisters of the Xu family were difficult to deal with, but in the end he still relied on their parents' guidance for all their actions.

But he didn't expect that when he saw the second of the three brothers and sisters of the Xu family, he could already feel the strong sense of oppression emanating from these two young people.

As the leader, Xu Yue was only 13 years old, but he was able to drive the prodigy Sima Yi of Caoying Sima's family to work for her willingly, which shows that this person has an extraordinary mind.

And Zhao Yu's letter was just a test, to test Xu Jiajun's attitude.

Now it seems that they didn't take His Majesty the Emperor seriously at all.

That's right, how could such a rebel army that wanted to fight against the Qing Dynasty and Emperor Qing take His Majesty the Emperor seriously?

But Xu Yue asked this question well, and it was difficult for him to answer for a while.

Qi Zhou coughed lightly, took a sip of water from the white porcelain cup on the table, and then replied with a smile:

"It's just a few jokes. Chief Xu doesn't need to take it to heart. When I come to Yuyang this time, I mainly want to see His Majesty and see if your dragon body is still healthy. I hope Chief Xu will allow it."

This was said more politely than what was written in the letter, Xu Yue felt very comfortable listening to it, and her smile became even brighter.

"Lord Qi, don't worry, Zhao Yuanji is fine now, but since your lordship just wants to know about Zhao Yuanji's health, then I don't think there is any need to send Zhao Yuanji back to Gongsun Zan's clutches."

"He is very good with our Xu family army. My elder sister likes him very much. It is just a matter of food for us to raise one more person here. We can still afford him. Please tell your master Qi, so that he doesn't have to worry about it." Zhao Yuanji is worried."

After Xu Yue said this, seeing that Qi Zhou got up anxiously and wanted to speak, she didn't give him a chance to speak, and said directly:
"Master Qi, our Xu Family Army will have a military exercise tomorrow. On behalf of the entire Xu Family Army, I, Xu Yue, warmly welcome you to watch it together!"

This is no chance for people to refuse. Qi Zhou's expression changed, and finally he nodded and agreed.

He also knew that Xu Yue didn't want to talk about Zhao Yuanji now, so he didn't mention it again.

After all, Xu Yue said just now that she didn't want to send Zhao Yuanji back to Gongsun Zan. This sentence was enough for Qi Zhou to savor it all night.

The two sides parted temporarily, Xu Da cheerfully greeted him, hugged Qi Zhou's shoulder affectionately, and said to invite him to a restaurant for a glass of good wine.

Speaking of which, when Xu Da was working under Gongsun Zan in the past, he would often deal with Zhao Yu's advisers and officials, and everyone was familiar with them.

Xu Da has the best relationship with Yan Rou under Zhao Yu's command, but it's a pity that he didn't come this time.

However, Qi Zhou and Yan Rou have always been friends, and friends of friends are also friends, seeing Xu Da, Qi Zhou's complexion is better.

It's just that when it comes to the protagonists they each serve, the atmosphere is very delicate.

Fortunately, Xu Da stopped in time, raised his hand and said with a smile: "It's rare for us to see each other, we don't talk about political affairs today, we just meet as friends, let's go, I'll take you around the city and eat some fresh food."

Qi Zhou was taken aback, then shook his head and sighed, temporarily suppressing all kinds of thoughts in his heart, and helplessly kept up with Xu Da's pace.

The streets of Yuyang County are all paved with cement, clean, and there is no bad smell. There is only a faint herbal smell that is not unpleasant.

Previously, he came to the city with a mission, and Qi Zhou didn't have time to pay attention to what Yuyang County has become now.

After putting down the task at this moment, he was surprised only to see this neat and clean street.

"Mr. Xu, the pavement on this ground is cement?"

Xu Da nodded, "Yes, cement is a good thing. Use it to pave roads and build bridges, or build walls of houses. It is strong and can prevent wind and rain."

Xu Da raised his hand and looked straight ahead at the North Street of New Commercial Street, which was about to be completed. This is the busiest place in Yuyang County, with many shops and pedestrians.

"Over there is the North City, a new commercial and civilian dual-use area built with cement and red bricks. The restaurant we are going to is also there. I just bought a lot of fresh seafood from the sea. The taste is very good. Brother Qi should eat it well. Are you used to it?" Xu asked with a big smile.

He admitted that he just wanted to pretend, and wanted these high-class people in Daqing to see the new gadgets made by his mother-in-law and daughters.

Qi Zhou was attracted by the bustling North Street, he didn't pay attention to Xu Da's humming, and nodded, expressing that he was used to eating.

Half of the state borders in Youzhou are coastlines. Although seafood is not popular now, they have tasted seafood sent from tribes in other states and counties.

The most delicious is a kind of sea fish with tender meat and few thorns, which can be eaten raw, but the taste of other seafood is really unpalatable to ordinary people.

Qi Zhou was not very looking forward to the seafood in Xujiajun's restaurant, because these things are difficult to cook deliciously.

Seeing Qi Zhou's perfunctory, Xu Da didn't rush to explain. Seeing that he was very interested in Beijie, he led him there generously.

When we arrived at North Street, the flow of people increased significantly, and there were many shops on the street. The best business was a place marked as a convenience store. There were so many people inside that they could only rub shoulders with each other.

People seemed to be scrambling for some goods, Qi Zhou couldn't help but stop and explore curiously—it turned out that they were scrambling for icing!

The refined salt and sugar from Xujiazhuang have long been famous in Youzhou. Everyone knows that the refined salt and sugar from Xujiazhuang are cheap and of good quality.

Qi Zhou also tasted a bit, and was deeply impressed by Xu's white sugar.

He did his homework before he came here and made up the Xu family's simplified characters and pinyin, so now he can understand what is written on the counter of the convenience store.

[Twenty chips per catty of sugar, purchase limit of half a catty per person]

"Today is the open sale day for white sugar. Only the first and fifteenth day of the month are sold. The quantity is sufficient, but the lack of supplies in the past has formed a habit of scrambling, and everyone still likes to loot." Xu Da stood aside and smiled lightly. explain.

Qi Zhou glanced at Xu Da, he suspected that this man was showing off to him.

But I have to say that the price of twenty chips a catty was so cheap that he was tempted.

If his current identity didn't represent more than himself, he would have rushed in to loot it.
