Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

"Huh...huh..."

At the door of Su Mansion, Liu Banxian was breathing heavily, with a not pretty look on his face.

"Master Su! Master Su!"

Liu Banxian shouted in the yard, but did not hear a response.

He didn't pay much attention and walked to the living room, poured himself a glass of water and drank it.

Unlike Su Jing, he doesn't have a carriage to serve him when he goes out, so he has to rely on his two legs for everything.

The capital city is no better than Lishui County, and the road back and forth is not short. At Liu Banxian's age, just walking is exhausting.

"What's wrong, Liu Banxian, you're just returning home disappointed!"

Su Jing walked out slowly and smiled at Liu Banxian.

It is not difficult to tell from Liu Banxian's expression that his noble lady plan was not executed well.

Liu Banxian took another sip of water, calmed down and said: "Forget it, the people in the capital are so disgusting! They are just looking down on others. I just dressed more modestly, but they didn't even let me in. It’s absolutely abominable!”

Don't let in!

Su Jing really didn't expect that Liu Banxian's first battle would turn out like this.

But if you take a closer look at Liu Banxian's makeup, simplicity seems to be a compliment.

He was wearing a long robe that looked old, with a few patches on the back.

In other words, Liu Banxian still loves to be clean, at least he doesn't look dirty.

Su Jing thought for a while and said: "Liu Banxian, you definitely didn't go to some high-end private club, right?"

Yingtian is definitely of a much higher standard than Lishui County, but how different can ordinary people be?

As a fortune teller, Liu Banxian's image management is pretty good. At first glance, he looks a bit like a fairy.

Normally, it is impossible to be driven away.

Liu Banxian's face jumped slightly, but he did not answer the question, but said: "I'll change into better clothes later, and I'll see if they can stop me!"

Obviously, not answering is tantamount to acquiescing.

Su Jing really didn't expect that this old guy Liu Banxian was quite courageous.

There are many noble people in the capital, and women, unlike men, cannot be exposed too much.

But it's boring to stay at home all the time, so some private clubs are set up for women to gather and chat.

On the surface, these places are normal business premises, but in fact, they are basically not open to the outside world.

Liu Banxian was stopped, most likely not because of his clothes, but because he was a strange man and an old man.

"Liu Banxian, don't waste your time. You can't get in. Those places are reserved for VIPs. If you don't know a familiar face, there's no way you can get in."

Su Jing smiled and said to Liu Banxian.

Liu Banxian's expression changed, he stared at Su Jing and said, "Master Su, how do you know so clearly? Have you ever been there?"

"Cough cough."

Su Jing coughed twice and said, "Of course I've been there before. I'm doing business in Lishui County, so it's not like I've never even been to the capital."

Su Jing didn't know anything about the various entertainments of the Ming Dynasty.

After all, in an era without the Internet, information spread slowly, and you always had to have some fun.

Su Jing is also the richest man in Lishui County after all, and he always knows the entertainment situation in the capital.

"That's not right! Mr. Su, since you said it's a VIP system, how did you get in for the first time?"

Liu Banxian immediately discovered new doubts and asked again.

Su Jing said calmly: "Of course I have my own way, so you don't need to care."

"No, Mr. Su, since you have a way, then teach me!"

Liu Banxian immediately said: "I saw many ladies going in. As long as I can go in, the next thing will be easy!"

At this moment, Liu Banxian was like Columbus discovering the New World, clinging to Su Jing.

But Su Jing didn't want to say it, she just replied: "Liu Banxian, just give up on this idea. It's useless if I tell you. You are not born with enough talent to get in!"

Innate deficiency?

Liu Banxian felt strange when he heard this.

Is there any difference between him and Su Jing?
Aren’t they all men?

"Okay, I have something else to do, so I'll go and get busy first. You can do whatever you want."

Su Jing stopped talking to Liu Banxian and went back to the study.

There are some things that even Su Jing doesn't want to say.

"Huh? There's something going on here!"

Liu Banxian was also a mature man, so he immediately felt something was wrong with Su Jing's reaction.

But if Su Jing didn't say anything, there was nothing he could do.

Even if you use fortune telling, you can only know the trend of things, but cannot calculate the specific content.

There is no need to reckon with something like this that has already happened.

"Master Su, wait a minute, when will we return to Lishui County?"

Liu Banxian shouted towards Su Jing.

"Just these two days!"

Su Jing replied, and the study door was closed.

Regarding moving, Su Jing's current idea is that the sooner the better, because there are really many things to do.

……

Forbidden City, outside the palace gate.

The Yi delegation, Miss and Tashi had just come out. They were received by Zhu Yuanzhang, but they got very bad news.

"Miss, the Ming Emperor must have lied to us, and nothing will happen to the tribe!"

Tashi looked unbelieving.

The news they received was very simple, that is, their tribe was wiped out not long after they left.

This kind of thing is tantamount to a devastating blow to the two of them.

This means that the tribe they belong to has only a few people left in the mission. The total number of people is no more than thirty, which is no different from the annihilation of the tribe.

"No, why did Emperor Ming deceive us?"

The young lady shook her head, her face full of heaviness.

Tashi still didn't believe it and said: "We in Vasi are not weak, how could we be destroyed so quickly? I think the Ming Emperor just deceived us in order to make us surrender."

The lady looked at Tashi and said: "Tashi, have you forgotten what we are here for? Besides, along the way, you also saw the strength of the Ming Dynasty. Do you think the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty will need us?" Tribe’s surrender?”

Tashi was silent.

Being able to become the leader of the mission, he is naturally not an ordinary figure in the tribe.

Just being able to speak Chinese has already killed many Yi people instantly.

Their purpose of sending envoys to the Ming Dynasty was actually the same, and that was to hope that the Ming Dynasty would send troops to help their tribe survive the crisis.

There are endless wars in the Central Plains, and the same is true in the southwest.

When the Yuan Dynasty was here, all the Yi people in the southwest were under the jurisdiction of the Yuan Dynasty, but the management was relatively loose.And after the Yuan Dynasty was destroyed, the various tribes of the Yi people would naturally have different thoughts.

Although it is not as large-scale as the war in the Central Plains, it is still an endless battle.

At the same time, the Ming Dynasty had just been established and could not control the southwest region for a while, so it could only let it go.

It's just that this lady is also a princess from the west of Va. She came to the Central Plains many years ago. Her brother also met the generals of the Ming Dynasty and had some friendship.

This time, she served as the core of the mission to the Ming Dynasty.

But now, this matter has become what it is now, and things are really unpredictable.

"Then what should we do now, miss."

Tashi didn't know what to do for a while. His tribe had been wiped out. If he went back now, he might be a wolf in the tiger's mouth.

Although Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty received them, he did not express any intention to send troops.

After all, the southwest border is far away, and Lao Zhu definitely can't afford to send troops just for a tribe that has been wiped out.

Not to mention that the princess only had a friendship with a general of the Ming Dynasty. It was impossible to have a friendship with him himself.

As an emperor, you must weigh the pros and cons.

Although the young lady was young, she had not lost her mind. She looked at Tashi and said: "Tashi, we are the only fire types left in the western part of Vasi. We cannot die, we must live!"

"It's impossible to go back now. Let's stay in the capital for now and make plans for the rest."

Seeing his young lady's perseverance, Tashi said with tears in his eyes: "Miss, I have made you suffer. Tashi will definitely carry out the lady's orders!"

As someone who has watched his young lady grow up, he knows that it is not that his young lady cannot be sad, but that she cannot be sad.

Now she is the backbone of Vasiyi. If she loses her sense of proportion, then Vasiyi will be completely gone.

As for my young lady, she is not very old. At such a young age, she has to bear such a major change and take on such a heavy responsibility.

Tashi felt extremely uncomfortable.

"Okay, that's it. Let's go back and gather all the clan members."

The lady's eyes were firm, but there was a hint of sadness hidden deep in her eyes.

As the two left the palace, a guard reported in Fengxian Hall: "Your Majesty, Princess Zhiyi has left the palace."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "We understand, please step back."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The guard immediately left slowly.

Zhu Yuanzhang turned to look at Li Shanchang who was standing aside and said, "Shanchang, what do you think of this matter?"

After all, he was the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty, and Lao Zhu still trusted Li Shanchang.

Li Shanchang replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I think that since the western part of Wa is gone, there is no need to send troops. However, since Princess Zhiyi, we still have to treat each other with courtesy. If Your Majesty has ideas about the southwest in the future, then We can be regarded as famous teachers.”

"Hahaha!"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said: "Shan Chang, you are indeed the roundworm in our belly, just as we thought."

"Waxi is just a small tribe. Even if it's still there, conquering it won't have much effect. If we really want to send troops, we have to conquer the entire southwest!"

Lao Zhu's ambitions are still very high. Now that the situation in Ming Dynasty is becoming more and more stable, his ambitions are getting bigger and bigger.

Li Shanchang immediately praised: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said: "Shan Chang, there are only two of us here, so you should stop flattering me."

"Let me ask you, just now Princess Zhiyi said that her brother had an old relationship with someone back then. Do you know who she was talking about?"

Zhiyi was too young back then, and things had changed so much that she could no longer remember the names of the Ming generals who had an old relationship with her brother.

Li Shanchang shook his head and said: "I don't know, either. What Princess Zhiyi said is very vague. According to my opinion, it may just be nonsense, so that His Majesty can send troops as soon as possible."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "No, it should be true."

"Why? How could Your Majesty see that?"

Li Shanchang asked puzzledly.

Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly: "There is no reason. We just feel that way. Regardless of whether it is true or false, it doesn't matter. Let them stay in the capital."

Li Shanchang said nothing more. He had learned Lao Zhu's intuition over the years.

This matter is originally an insignificant matter, it doesn't matter much, and there is no need to continue talking.

"By the way, Shanchang, has anything unusual happened to Baiguan recently?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked suddenly.

Li Shanchang lowered his head and said, "I didn't notice it."

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Li Shanchang and said: "Shanchang, you know what we want to know. Although we have never mentioned Su Jing's matter publicly, many people in the government and the public should be talking about it."

"We just want to know who has an unusual attitude towards this matter."

Lao Zhu is still dealing with the matter of Su Jing's assassination. Although he is just pretending now, pretense can also be true.

Li Shanchang replied: "I don't know, old minister."

Li Shanchang has always been very cautious when dealing with Su Jing.

When he said he didn't know, he really didn't know, because he took the initiative not to understand.

"Okay! It would be great if other people could be like you, so good."

Zhu Yuanzhang said meaningfully.

Li Shanchang immediately said: "I am scared, but I am just loyal to your majesty. I really don't deserve your majesty's praise!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "Okay, Li Shanchang, we know what you mean, don't worry, we will let you grow old."

Li Shanchang's desire to leave the court had actually been mentioned to Lao Zhu many times.

Lao Zhu had never agreed, but now he relented. Li Shanchang immediately knelt down and said, "Old minister, thank you for your consideration!"

Seeing Li Shanchang so excited, Lao Zhu also had mixed feelings in his heart.

It is always difficult to balance the imperial heart and selfishness.

"By the way, Shanchang, did you know that Su Jing went to Xu Da to see a doctor?"

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly changed the topic and asked.

Although Lao Zhu seems to have been handling government affairs in the palace, all matters in the capital are actually Menqing's business.

Li Shanchang replied: "I just learned about it from His Majesty."

"Do you think Su Jing can cure Xu Da's disease?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked again.

Li Shanchang was silent for a while and replied: "I think that Uncle Renyuan should be able to do it."

"Are you so confident in Su Jing?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Li Shanchang with something strange in his eyes.

Li Shanchang said: "I have always felt that Uncle Ren Yuan was a strange person in the world. It is not surprising that anything happened to Uncle Ren Yuan."

"Besides, wasn't it Uncle Ren Yuan who cured Duke E Guo's illness before? It must be similar this time."

Zhu Yuanzhang heard this and said with a smile: "Su Jing would be very excited if he knew that you, the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, believed in him so much. Then let's see if he can cure Xu Da."

"That's it for today, you can go back."

Li Shanchang lowered his head and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will take my leave." (End of this chapter)
