Chapter 289: The Past Is Like Yesterday (Part 4)
The Dugu family, the residence in Kyoto, is located east of the imperial city.
To the east of the city is the prosperous place of the capital. Zhao Wujiang walked out of the palace gate. There was no murderous intention or depression on his handsome face, but a look of calm and calm.
In his sleeves, the tokens of the Liu family were constantly turning over in his hands, just like what he was thinking at the moment.
The carriage rattled, turned east and west, and drove smoothly.
Less than half an hour later, the car curtain was opened, and the coachman’s respectful voice came:
"Eunuch Zhao, Dugu Mansion has arrived."
"Um..."
Zhao Wujiang stepped out of the carriage on the small bench and stuffed a gold ingot into the coachman's crossed hands.
"Thank you so much, Eunuch Zhao, thank you so much, Eunuch Zhao..." The coachman excitedly raised his hands.
Zhao Wujiang smiled warmly and nodded, and walked towards the house lightly.
Dugu's mansion has a golden door, black walls and green tiles. There are servants standing in front of the door. When they see the visitor, they can infer the identity of the visitor from his clothes and appearance, and they quickly salute:
"Eunuch Zhao, please come inside."
Under the leadership of the two servants, Zhao Wujiang walked along the road paved with bluestones, bypassed the unique entrance, walked through the pond in the courtyard, entered the courtyard three times, and came to an antique palace.
There was endless chatter and laughter in the hall, and Zhao Wujiang opened the door and entered.
The desks were neatly arranged, and there were all kinds of delicacies, fruits, and drinks on the table. Many of the ministers he had seen in the meeting hall were sitting on the floor, talking to each other, drinking wine, or rubbing and touching the concubines beside them.
It's like a scene where the banquet is in full swing and the guests are enjoying themselves.
Zhao Wujiang's dazzling eunuch uniform attracted too much attention, and many guests frowned, with dissatisfaction creeping onto their cheeks.
"A little eunuch actually dares to break into Dugu Mansion. He is so brave... Wow..."
There was a member of the Sixth Department who smelled of alcohol and mocked while holding a bottle of wine.
Zhao Wujiang just glanced at Yuan Wailang, turned a deaf ear, and then walked towards the main hall on his own.
"Eunuch Zhao, you are here. I have been waiting for you for a long time."
A hearty laugh rang out at the same time, and Zhao Wujiang saw a middle-aged man from Yuan Ting Yue Zhi walking towards him above the main seat in the palace.
Dugu Yihe had a half-white beard and hair, walking like a dragon and a tiger, and a tiger and a tiger were making wind as he walked. His sword eyebrows flew into his temples. He first glared at Yuan Wailang, who had just made a mocking comment, and said in a deep voice:
"Yuanwailang is drunk, send him back!"
"yes."
Two servants of the Dugu family, dressed in smart clothes and with cold expressions on their faces, immediately stepped forward, picked up the foreign minister and walked out.
"His rude words will offend him a lot, so don't worry, little friend."
Dugu Yihe put his big hands around Zhao Wujiang's shoulders. He didn't stop Yuan Wai Lang from saying something rude just now, because he wanted to see how this little eunuch named Zhao Wujiang would react to this.
To his surprise, when faced with the taunts from others, this young eunuch who looked like a young man was not angry, or in other words, did not show his anger on his face, which made him couldn't help but take a high look.
"I would like to introduce to you, the young talent next to me is Zhao Wujiang, Eunuch Zhao."
Dugu Yi, Heyuan Tingyuezhi, took Zhao Wujiang to the two rows of seats near the main seat and sat down.
The hall immediately rang out with salutes.
"Eunuch Zhao, I have always heard about him. When I saw him today, he turned out to be a talented person."
"Eunuch Zhao, I am the Minister of Household Affairs. I am honored to meet you."
"..."
None of the officials present were fools. Just now Yuan Wailang mocked Zhao Wujiang and was dragged down. Now that the giant Dugu Yihe has personally introduced Zhao Wujiang to everyone, there is only one possibility.
Dugu Yihe valued Zhao Wujiang very much.
Then they will naturally release their goodwill.
Besides, in the past two days, they had all heard more or less about Zhao Wujiang. They had long wanted to meet someone who could stay in the palace with the emperor, help the emperor recuperate his dragon body, and push the emperor to favor the queen and Zhaoyi.
It's been a while.
Through Dugu Yihe's banquet, they also had a rough first impression.
He has an extraordinary temperament and is not surprised by favors or insults.
"You must have heard about Eunuch Zhao helping his little girl Mingyue in the palace."
When Dugu Yihe brought up the topic, he no longer sat in the main seat, but took the opportunity to sit next to Zhao Wujiang.
Those who were able to enter the Dugu family banquet, most of the people present were from the Dugu faction, and they released more goodwill one after another:
"Eunuch Zhao has extraordinary magnanimity. He will surely rise to great heights in the future. When the time comes, you must support me a lot."
"It's just...at first glance, it looks like something out of the pond."
"..."
"I hope all of you will work together."
Zhao Wujiang raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.
"That's right, Eunuch Zhao is the daughter of my little girl Mingyue."
Dugu Yihe said it bluntly, with kind eyes and majesty in his eyes:
"From now on, he will be protected by my Dugu family!"
The guests were in an uproar and were inexplicably surprised.
What a domineering old fox... Zhao Wujiang's eyes were deep and dark. Dugu Yihe's words not only expressed goodwill, but also domineeringly labeled him as the Dugu family, and he was not allowed to say a word "no".
"As for the Emperor, there is no need to worry, my little friend can be as usual..."
Dugu Yihe's voice was low, whispering in a voice that only the two of them could hear. He patted Zhao Wujiang's hand and spoke sincerely:
"Wujiang, I have found out a lot about the Northern General.
I know that the Emperor...is worried about our Dugu family...but I can assure the Emperor that the Dugu family has no second thoughts.
This territory of Great Xia was conquered by our ancestors with their lives and blood, and our descendants will not watch it fall apart and fall into internal strife."
Wujiang...we...Zhao Wujiang sighed, did Dugu Yihe say these words to convey it to Xuanyuan Jing through his mouth, to dispel Xuanyuan Jing's doubts?
When Dugu Mingyue was confused and infatuated, she revealed the truth, saying that the Dugu family had no duplicity.
Now the head of the Dugu family also told me that the Dugu family has no second thoughts. Is this really the case?
"Lord Dugu, don't worry, heaven and earth can teach you, and the emperor will naturally understand."
Zhao Wujiang smiled.
Dugu Yihe smiled even more. He took out an envelope from his sleeve and quietly stuffed it into Zhao Wujiang's sleeve:
"Then I won't be polite to you anymore. Please forward this letter to the Emperor. The matter of Loulan Gu will be revealed... In addition, I promise you one more thing as a meeting gift. As long as it is within the scope of my ability,
,anything will do.”
Zhao Wujiang knew that the value of this meeting gift was not small.
"Thank you, sir. My nephew has an enemy who will threaten his life. My nephew is worried that he will not be able to deliver this letter safely..."
Zhao Wujiang held up his hands with a worried look on his face.
Dugu Yihe had a smile on his face and didn't even need to ask.
"It's just a small matter, just give me your name."
Zhao Wujiang's heart skipped a beat.
Can you solve it by giving me a name?
