I, the queen and the father, start with a deer as a horse

Chapter 38 Hu Shifan

Seeing her expression, Fang Xiu frowned, and asked, "Do you think the truth is too despicable and low-spirited?"

Shangguan Haitang shook her head, and said seriously: "I think that no means are excessive when dealing with the enemy!"

Speaking of this, a blush appeared on her face, and she whispered: "The humble job is just curiosity."

"Curious what?"

Shangguan Haitang held back for a long time, but she didn't have the nerve to ask, but said: "It's nothing."

"."

Fang Xiu glanced at Shangguan Haitang, a little speechless, but didn't ask any more questions.

The products produced by the system are all flesh-and-blood people, and they all have their own personalities and habits.

As long as he is absolutely loyal, Fang Xiu doesn't bother to care about anything else.

"Then do as it says."

Fang Xiu waved his hands.

Shangguan Haitang's expression became serious, she bowed her hands and said, "Yes! Master!"

The next day.

On the official road outside Chang'an City.

While the catkins were flying, the two luxuriously decorated carriages slowed down.

Wu Guozheng and Hu Shifan, a member of the Rites Department, sat in the front carriage.

He lifted the curtain and took a look outside.

The people who come and go are all wearing coarse clothes with patches all over them.

Seeing this, Hu Shifan showed disdain on his face, and said: "Sure enough, it is a land of barbarians, a small country with few people, all of them have arrived in the capital, and the people are still so barren!"

aside.

Deputy envoy Li Zhengdao: "Qian Kingdom is indeed a land of barbarians, but it is not a small country with few people.

Master Hu, do you know that the land of Qian Kingdom is three times as large as that of our Great Wu. "

Hu Shifan said disdainfully: "There is so much land, what's the use of it? It's not that you can't grow food."

Speaking of this, he seemed to have thought of something, with a smug smile on his face, he said: "The only good fields are planted with grapes."

Hearing this, Li Zheng flattered him in a timely manner.

"If it wasn't for Mr. Hu's ingenious plan, how could the imperial court destroy a large number of fertile fields in Qian Kingdom without any effort."

"Master Hu's peerless intelligence is really admired by the subordinate officials!"

Complacent, Hu Shifan waved his hands and said, "It's just a small trick that can't be put on the table. In the whole world, only that idiot, Prime Minister Qian, can take the bait!"

Speaking of this, he seemed to think of something and asked:

"By the way, what's the name of the prime minister of the Qian Kingdom?"

Li Zhengdao: "Fang Xiu!"

"Yes, Fang Xiu!"

There was a gloomy look in Hu Shifan's eyes, and he said in a cold voice, "I heard that it was Fang Xiu's idea to indiscriminately kill my Great Wu grain merchant this time!"

"It seems that he still failed to learn his lesson last time. He doesn't know that I am a great Wu, and he is not something that a prime minister of a small country can provoke!"

Speaking of which.

He looked at Li Zheng, and said in a frivolous tone: "Li Zheng, just wait and see, when we arrive at Honglu Temple, how will I handle him!"

Li Zhengzheng showed hesitation, and persuaded: "Master Hu, when the next official came, Lord Shoufu gave orders."

As soon as he spoke, he was interrupted by Hu Shifan.

"You don't need to tell me, I know that it's nothing more than accepting as soon as it's good, so as not to jump over the wall in a hurry and start a war with my great Wu, and make the court fall into a situation where the enemy is on the back."

Li Zhengdao: "Your Excellency is right. Since this is the case, I think it's better not to cause trouble, so as to avoid accidents."

Hu Shifan glanced at him and said, "Li Zheng, you are still too cautious. Sometimes being cautious is not a good thing."

"Then Prime Minister Qian is just an idiot. What else does he know besides collecting people's fat and anointing?"

"There is nothing to be afraid of such a person."

"Furthermore, I just want to see him get embarrassed, and there is no need to do it myself."

When Li Zheng heard this, his face showed worry, and he wanted to say something more.

However, before he could speak, he heard a loud voice from outside.

The carriage also gradually stopped.

"arrive?"

Hu Shifan lifted the curtain of the car and took a look.

In front is the majestic city wall.

There are five steps and one post on the city wall, with guards standing.

At the gate of the city, a small number of armored soldiers are patrolling.

There is an endless stream of pedestrians coming and going.

"Although Chang'an City is not big, it is indeed prosperous. Even if it is placed in my Great Wu, it can still be ranked fifth and sixth!"

Hu Shifan sighed.

Li Zheng replied: "After all, it is the capital of a country, and it is more prosperous, which is normal.

It's just that there is nothing else that can be done except Chang'an. "

As he spoke, he looked towards the city gate.

The eyes are searching for something.

After a while, his brows were slightly frowned, he let out a sigh, and said in doubt: "According to the etiquette system, even if Honglu Temple doesn't treat each other with nine guests, it should send someone to welcome us when our Dawu delegation visits. The drums are playing music, why is there no movement now?"

When Hu Shifan heard this, he looked at the city gate, except for the passers-by, it was really empty!
"In the past when my Great Wu Mission visited, Honghe Temple never treated each other with nine guests!"

"This time, the people of the Qian Kingdom dared to be so negligent!"

Hu Shifan's face was gloomy, and his eyes were full of anger.

On the way here, he had already thought about how to give the officials of Qian Guo Honglu Temple a disgrace.

Who would have thought.

They have already reached the gate of the city, and they haven't even seen a single hair of the family!

After hearing this, Li Zheng thought to himself: You can't let the bad temper of this Ya Nei get into trouble!

He hastily opened his mouth to comfort him: "Lord Hu, don't be in a hurry, there may be other matters in Honglu Temple, and I forgot about it, the next official will send someone to make a notice, let them hurry up!"

Hu Shifan snorted coldly, and said: "Tell them, my Great Wu Mission has arrived, and quickly welcome it with the courtesy of nine guests, otherwise I will wait at the city gate all the time!"

"it is good!"

Li Zheng responded, got out of the carriage, summoned a guard, gave a few orders, and returned to the carriage.

Followed by.

It's just a long wait.

Hu Shifan and Li Zheng first talked about the past of "the clever plan to destroy the fertile land", then the war with Yue, and then they talked about ten years of hard study, and finally they had nothing to talk about.

The guard hasn't returned the message yet.

Don't say it's Hu Shifan.

Even Li Zheng, who had always been calm, couldn't hold back his temper at this moment.

Hu Shifan frowned, his face was gloomy, and he said coldly, "Why haven't you come yet?"

Li Zhengdao: "The next official will urge you again."

After finishing speaking, he got out of the carriage again and told the guards to go to Nahonglu Temple.

Then came another long wait.

They are the gates of the city at Maoshi.

Now is the time.

From five or six o'clock at dawn to ninety o'clock when the scorching sun is high.

A full four or five hours.

Not to mention the Honglu Temple where he ran, even if he crawled, it should be enough for three or four round trips!
At this moment.

Both Hu Shifan and Li Zheng were a little hungry!
Hunger is next.

The key is!
As time passed, more and more people entered and exited the city gate.

Pedestrians coming and going, no matter men, women, old or young, all looked at the carriage with strange eyes, as if they were looking at some novel animal.

This look, even through the curtain, made them restless, with an indescribable discomfort.

at last.

Hu Shifan couldn't bear it any longer. He slapped the table and cursed: "A land of barbarians, ignorant, frivolous and rude!"

"What do you say, I won't serve you anymore!"

"Li Zheng, return to Beijing with me!"

Li Zheng also knew that Hu Shifan was speaking out of anger, and was about to dissuade him and give him a step.

Suddenly the voice of the guards sent to Honglu Temple came from outside.

"Big, my lord!"

"You must be the master for us!"
