Chapter 211 Breakfast Room
After the King of Huainan and his group returned to Shouchun City, the alchemy place of Wu Mian, Gui Bugui and Ren San were burned by Mr. Mingjue. At this moment, the three of them could only temporarily live in Shangguan Inn of the Zhaoxian Pavilion, waiting for King of Huainan Xiao Liuxi to build another residence for them outside the city.
At this stall, the King of Wu and the King of Chu, Jinan and other six countries came to form a coalition of seven countries under the banner of killing Chao Cuo and Qing dynasty. The court sent a large army led by Zhou Yafu to fight. The two armies were located in Liang State. During the battle, there were several battles with each other. The coalition of seven countries attacked the Liangdu Suiyang. Zhou Yafu led his army to defend Suiyang City to death. After a long time, the army of seven countries could not capture it for a long time and was in a stalemate.
Although Huainan Kingdom was far away from the war, it had not been affected yet. Liu Xichen heavily troops were on the border, preventing the King of Wu from not being able to capture Suiyang City for a long time, and then turned to attack his Huainan Kingdom to vent his anger.
After the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, the seven countries in Shouchun City were in constant stream of envoys from the court. The Seven Kingdoms wanted to win over Huainan into the rebel army, and the court asked the King of Huainan to remain neutral and impartial.
Huainan Kingdom also divided into two factions. The prime minister was the leader and advocated that the victory and defeat of both sides were not decided. Huainan Kingdom rashly helped either side, which may cause a disaster in the future. The faction led by Liu Xi's brother Liu Yuan advocated that the seven countries were powerful. Once they captured Liangdu, there would be no strong city to resist the army of the seven countries. At that time, they would be wiped out the other countries and directly attacked the capital. If they do not surrender to the seven countries now, they would have to settle the accounts with Huainan Kingdom after the King of Wu won the world.
Although the two factions have been arguing endlessly, Liu Xi, the King of Huainan, is obviously favoring the prime minister. Although he has not actually issued a royal edict, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Your Highness has already maintained a neutral heart. It is just because the situation has not become clear and I am just waiting and watching for the time being.
At that time, the busiest people were important officials in Huainan like the Prime Minister and Liu Yuan. Every day, envoys from various countries left the Huainan Prince's Mansion and went straight to the palaces of these ministers. Liu Xi did not say anything to stop him, but looked at him coldly in his palace.
In order to prevent people like Wu and others from rushing to jump to the wall, Xiao Liuxi took Wu Mian, Gui Bugui and Xiao Rensan to his palace and arranged a bedroom for the three of them next to his dormitory. However, these three were used to being together, so they opened two rooms to let the three of them live in it.
One morning, Xiao Liuxi and Wu Mian and the other two had breakfast together. After eating and drinking, the King of Huainan assisted the eunuch to put on his royal uniform and wanted to go to the outer hall to listen to the noise of the seven kingdoms and the envoys of the court. Xiao Liuxi had just put on the royal uniform when he suddenly saw a little eunuch running over from outside. He stood in the corridor and winked at the eunuch who was serving his clothes.
"Go and ask him what big things happened so panicked," Xiao Liuxi took his jade belt from the eunuch general manager. While fastening the jade belt, he said to Wu Mian and the other two with a smile: "Seeing his panic, the disciples thought that the court and the seven-nation coalition had entered this Shouchun City, but there were three gentlemen around him. Even if the soldiers and horses in the world attacked my small Shouchun City..."
"Don't put gilds on our faces. At that time, the three of us ran faster than you." Gui Bugui smiled and looked at Wu Mian who was still lowering his head to continue eating. Just when he was about to say something, the eunuch general came to Xiao Liuxi's ear and was muttering something to him.
Xiao Liuxi frowned, pushed away the eunuch general manager and said, "In front of the three gentlemen, there is no behind the scenes, and said, "What has made you panic like this,"
The eunuch general manager glanced at Wu Mian and hesitated for a moment and said, "His Highness of the King of Wu sent an envoy to the three gentlemen who had given gifts to be submitted to the three gentlemen. Thanks to the three gentlemen for their return gifts for the method of refining alchemy. This is a gift list..." In this extraordinary period, the eunuch general manager did not know the reason inside, and thought that Wu Mian and the three others had any connection with Liu Bi of the King of Wu, so he became a little panicked.
After hearing this, Gui Bugui laughed loudly, then looked at Wu Mian who swallowed the last bite of rice and said, "I like this King of Wu a little bit. He exploded their house. He was still in the mood to send the gift back. If I had known that I would write more weight on it and blow up his palace, would he give more things?"
Under Liu Xi's instruction, the eunuch general handed over the gift list in his hand to Gui Bugui's hand. It was found that there were lists of natural treasures, which were almost all natural treasures that Liu Xi sent people to buy everywhere. Among the elixir recipes left by Xu Fu, seven or eight out of ten were already occupied.
"This King of Wu is generous, and he still has this leisure to start a war." After Gui Bugui took a look, he originally wanted to hand over the gift list to Wu Mian, but seeing that the white hair had no intention of answering, he laughed and put the gift list in his arms. After a look at the eunuch with a strange expression, the old guy continued, "What, not just this matter, it was not that King of Wu who set up a recruitment hall in his Guangling City and invited the three of us to live there for two years."
"There is one more thing..." The eunuch general looked at Xiao Liuxi. After seeing his highness signaling him to continue, he continued: "There are twelve corpses sent with the gift. The envoy said that these were all the inquiries sent by our Huainan Kingdom to Wu, and asked His Highness the King of Huainan to stop doing such boring actions."
Xiao Liuxi had no expression on his face. It was not until the eunuch general said that he said, "What else did the envoy of the King of Wu say?"
After pausing for a moment, the eunuch general replied, "After the envoy said these words to his subordinates, he was sentenced to himself in front of the door. The body had been taken away by his subordinates. Please ask His Highness to deal with it."
At this time, a little surprised expression appeared on Xiao Liuxi's face. After sighing slightly, he said, "It's a pity that I'm buried with you. It's a pity that the ministers are loyal ministers. It's a pity that the emperor...,"
"Don't bury it first." Before Xiao Liuxi finished speaking, Wu Mian, who had already put down the bowls and chopsticks, suddenly spoke: "Since you say you are a loyal minister, then we should also pay tribute to the appearance of this loyal minister."
"No matter how loyal the minister is, he is now a dead person. What's the good thing about dead people?" Xiao Rensan, who put down the bowls and chopsticks at the same time, frowned. It was almost because of Wu Mian's words that ruined his appetite for breakfast.
However, Gui Bugui and Wu Mian had the same idea. After hearing the eunuch general said that the envoy at the door was punished, his eyes narrowed. When Wu Mian said he wanted to pay homage to the appearance of a loyal minister, he stood up the first time. After a look at Wu Mian, the old guy looked at Xiao Rensan and said, "Sometimes, dead people are really a little better than living people..."
Xiao Rensan was not interested in seeing the dead early in the morning, but he had already lost his appetite and had no interest in continuing to eat. At that moment, he could only follow them to the outer hall of the palace. At this time, the servant who had just met was kneeling here and told the story again. However, until he finished speaking, no one carried the body of the self-destructed envoy.
Just when the eunuch general scolded his eunuch, a green-faced eunuch came over and muttered a few words in his ear. His Highness, the King of Huainan, was next to him. When the eunuch general wanted to scold him, his face changed after hearing the little eunuch's words, he said to the little eunuch, "Are you saying true?" The little eunuch said with a bitter face: "It's true, what the little one saw with his own eyes is so bad..."
"Stop, in front of the hall, you can't talk nonsense." After scolding the eunuch, the eunuch general manager walked to the king of Huainan. After hesitating for a while, he said directly to the king of Huainan and Wu Mian and others: "Your Highness, the body of the envoy cannot be transported. The eunuch just reported that the body was festering. The body was a little suspicious. Please give the king's order to burn the body," he said.
