Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 377: Fellow People
At the Dianke Office.

Li Rui was sitting alone in the room. The shadow of the beam was about to cover him, making him look dark and unclear.

Feng Jing is dead.

Even the entire branch of Chunfengtang was burned down.

It burned until only ash remained.

"In the end what happened?"

Perhaps the only thing he could be thankful for was that he was a member of the diplomatic corps, and his every move was under the watchful eyes of the Wu Kingdom court.

This is a cage, but also a protection.

Otherwise, his fate might be the same as Feng Jing's.

Li Rui could almost conclude.

Feng Jing's death must be related to the secret guard's mission.

Just as Li Rui was thinking, someone knocked on the door.

"Brother Li."

I knew it was Nie Siming by the voice.

Push the door open.

Then he saw Nie Siming looking at him with a smile: "Lord Wang has received the imperial edict from the ruler of Wu State and will leave today. You pack up and leave at noon today."

There was a flash of joy in Li Rui's eyes.

Feng Jing was dead. Even if Nie Siming didn't say anything, he would find Minister Wang and find a way to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible.

A gentleman does not stand on a dangerous wall.

It would be safer to return to Qinghe.

"it is good."

Li Rui nodded.

Just as he was about to pack up, Xia Xiaotang came to his courtyard in the Dianke Office in a charming manner.

"Senior Li, are you ready to leave?"

"Well, the delegation is preparing to go back and report."

Xia Xiaotang: "Okay, I thought that Senior Li had finally come to Wu Court. Now that I'm done with my business, I'll take him for a good stroll."

"There will be opportunities in the future."

Li Rui suddenly asked, "Miss Xiaotang, did you hear about the fire in the west city of Wuting yesterday?"

Xia Xiaotang was a little surprised: "I just heard about it, how come the senior also knows about it?"

Li Rui nodded:

"That shop is a branch of Chunfengtang."

Xia Xiaotang knew that Li Rui had opened a chamber of commerce called Chunfengtang, and her expression suddenly became serious.

"I will ask the Ministry of Justice to pay more attention to this matter."

She immediately smelled a conspiracy.

Li Rui just arrived.

Something happened at Chunfengtang. How could it be such a coincidence? There must be someone behind it.

However, Xia Xiaotang did not think in the direction of the banished immortal.

Instead, he thought that the young generals of the Wu Kingdom were seeking revenge because their plans had been ruined by Li Rui, so they did not dare to provoke Li Rui and attacked Li Rui's Chunfengtang.

Seeing that Xia Xiaotang wanted the Ministry of Justice to investigate, Li Rui readily accepted:
"Then I'll trouble you, Miss Xia."

"But I'm afraid I won't be able to wait until the case is solved. If Miss Xia has any information, just tell me the situation and don't cause any conflict."

Xia Xiaotang patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I'm very steady."

It was noon that day.

The Yu State delegation gathered at the gate of the Dianke Office.

When he came, there were only officials from the Honglu Temple. When he left, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites of the Wu State came personally to see him off.

Minister Wang was so proud of himself.

The job was done beautifully, and after returning, I will be able to leave a good impression on the Holy Emperor.

Just got out of town.

Then I saw the familiar Tuoshanniu standing in front of the door.

There are also Qin Huo and Black Witch Guard.

Qin Huo still had a smiling look on his face.

There was no sign at all that he was a minister who advocated resisting the military expedition of the State of Yu.

"Miss Xiaotang's evaluation is correct. He is indeed a smiling tiger."

Li Rui thought to himself.

Qin Huo stepped forward and said, "It is really a fate, and it is my great honor to be able to travel with you all."

Minister Wang narrowed his eyes:
"Master Qin is really too modest. With Master Qin accompanying us, we can rest assured on this trip."

He already knew it from Li Rui.

The good guy who had accompanied them all the way turned out to be the head of the Black Witch Guard Intelligence Network of the Witch Country.

I was so scared when I heard it that I broke out in a cold sweat.

Looking back now, I realize how powerful Qin Huo is.

The disguise is too good.

Since Minister Wang could sit in the position of Minister of Rites, he was certainly not an ordinary person who could hide this from his eyes.

That's a big skill.

Several people exchanged greetings again in front of the city gate.

The carriage was loaded onto the back of a camel ox, and then they reluctantly said goodbye and left.

The mission took five days.

Everything is going well.

The camel mountain cattle lay beside a clear lake, snoring.

Everyone sat around two campfires.

His face was illuminated red.

The envoys from the State of Yu had one bonfire, and the cavalry from the State of Wu had another bonfire, clearly distinguishing them.

Although the two countries have joined forces, Qin Huo's position means that he cannot really get close to the Yu Kingdom's envoys. "The scenery of Wu Kingdom is quite different."

"What a joke."

"The lake is shimmering, the moon is bright, the mountains are hazy, and the night is still long."

Now that the matter was settled, Minister Wang was in a very good mood and his scholarly temperament came back.

Several officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple hurriedly praised:

"Your Excellency's poem only has a few strokes, describing the mountains, the water and the moon, but I can actually read some of your ambition to serve the country. Your Excellency is indeed a top scholar, and I still need to learn more from you."

The others were unwilling to fall behind.

It’s very similar to reading comprehension in my previous life.

Nie Siming and Yuan Xiong were not interested at all.

They have always sneered at the literati's pretentiousness. If they had that much time, they would rather just punch a few more times.

Li Rui shook his head and chuckled in his heart.

He did have quite a few half-sentences of poetry hidden here, but he had no intention of becoming the Immortal Poet of Yu, nor could he do so.

In the past, if a poem was good, quoting from classics was a very important part.

There are no such allusions in this world. If you force yourself to recite them, they will just sound abrupt, pale, and without that charm.

Moreover, the poet of Yu State was not bad either.

Just when Minister Wang was in a good mood and was about to figure out the second half of the sentence and then go to show off to those old guys in the capital, Qin Huo walked over.

"Master Li, Miss Xiaotang wants me to tell you something."

Seeing Qin Huo take the initiative to find Li Rui.

The others all looked surprised.

Especially Minister Wang, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

He had long known that Li Rui had a good relationship with the Great Wu, and now it seemed that he also had a good relationship with other officials of the Wu Kingdom.

'This person is very useful.'

If Li Rui had not been the deputy general of Annan Town, he would have brought Li Rui to the Ministry of Rites no matter what.

The Yu and Wu countries joined forces.

There will be many places to deal with in the future, and with someone like Li Rui around, things will go much more smoothly.

Li Rui did not stand up immediately.

Instead, he said to Minister Wang: "Sir Wang, one of my juniors has opened a business, and Miss Xiaotang is here to help me take care of it."

The words were addressed to Minister Wang, but everyone could hear them.

He has a good relationship with the Wu Kingdom.

But we can't let everyone think that we are in cahoots with the Wu Kingdom.

Otherwise, who knows who will make a fuss about it.

Minister Wang smiled and waved his hand: "No problem, Lord Li can go."

Every official in the court had some private property, but he had countless of them. Li Rui was just the first to get the upper hand, and he managed to get his private property in the Wu Kingdom.

It is obviously a good thing to bring the silver from Wu State to Yu State.

And there was no intention of hiding anything.

Li Rui is open and honest in his work, so naturally he wouldn't make things difficult for him.

After hearing what Minister Wang said, Li Rui stood up and went to the forest far away from the campfire with Qin Huo.

Qin Huo suddenly spoke:
"Master Li, you are truly a man of great ability. I didn't expect you to be a member of the secret guards. I admire you."

As he spoke, Qin Huo stared at Li Rui.

He wanted to see panic in Li Rui's eyes.

Unfortunately.

Li Rui's eyes were like an ancient well, without any ripples. Then he laughed, "Same here, isn't Sir Qin also doing this kind of work?"

Hearing Li Rui's words, Qin Huo couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Not bad.

The Yu State had secret guards, and so did the Wu State.

And he is the existence of the Wu Kingdom similar to the Mountain Guardian.

"Lord Li is becoming more and more beyond my expectations."

Li Rui's smile remained on his face.

Of course, he guessed Qin Huo's identity.

He knew Xia Xiaotang. Even if there was information, it should have been delivered by someone else, not Qin Huo.

Combined with what Qin Huo said just now, Qin Huo's identity is about to be revealed.

"Master Qin, is there something wrong?"

Qin Huo's smile faded: "Master Li, the secret guard in your Chunfeng Hall was killed by a banished immortal."

Hear the words.

Li Rui narrowed his eyes slightly.

really!

Feng Jing is a congenital warrior, and he also has the skills left by Gu Changsheng. It is impossible for ordinary people to kill him.

Qin Huo looked at Li Rui seriously:

"Master Li, since we are in the same business, let's just talk about some things directly."

"Actually, I am also tracking down that banished immortal."

It was because he discovered that Feng Jing was also investigating during the pursuit that he was able to discover Feng Jing's identity as a secret guard and then traced back to Li Rui.

Li Rui: "Master Qin, you also know that these people's every move has a huge impact. If you have any news, please share it with us."

Qin Huo looked at Li Rui with a smile:

"Master Li, what you said really hits the nail on the head. The banished immortals are the source of chaos in the court. The Great Witch once said that when the heaven and earth are in turmoil, the number of banished immortals descending to the mortal world will increase."

"Only if our two countries join forces can we contend with it."

"Please give this secret letter to Master He."

talking.

He took out a wax-sealed letter from his bosom.
