Zhao Qiang also couldn't stop smiling, his heart was full of expectations, but he was humble: "This is a coincidence, we have good luck."
In the luxurious but solemn palace of the Kingdom of Rest, Hesheli was leaning lazily on the throne.
The attendant respectfully presented Shi Dami's letter.
Hesheli took the letter and opened it. A smug and vicious smile appeared on his face, and his heart was filled with secret joy.
Haha, I really searched for it without any chance. Shi Dami accidentally found the princess’s place, which is so great.
Hesheli knew very well that as long as the princess was still alive, it was a hidden danger for him. He had to be eradicated and could not leave any future troubles.
Thinking of this, a ruthless look flashed in his eyes and immediately ordered the servants.
"Go and summon Armas to me into the palace. I have important matters to discuss."
As a very favored minister of Hesheli, Armas was trusted by Hesheli in daily life. Apart from Shi Dami, Hesheli trusted the most.
Soon after, Armas hurried over and gave a respectful salute, "Your Majesty, what's the matter with me?"
Hesheri sat upright slightly, his eyes signaling Armas to step forward, and his voice was filled with unquestionable ruthlessness.
"Amas, there is a major event today that you need to do it. Shi Dami has heard the whereabouts of the princess. I must not let her continue to live in the world. This matter must be done neatly and neatly. Don't let me disappoint you."
Armas felt a little nervous and hurriedly replied: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best to live up to your Majesty's entrustedness, and I will definitely make the princess disappear from now on and there will be no more threats."
After saying that, the two looked at each other, with viciousness and determination in their eyes. A conspiracy against the princess quietly brewed in the palace.
Hesheri narrowed his eyes slightly and said slowly to Armas: "If you can solve the princess in the Central Plains, it is of course the best, which will save you a lot of trouble. But if you have difficulties, you will find a way to escort her to our country of peace. I want her to taste the taste of life worse than death and torture her. Armas, you must act according to the opportunity. Never act recklessly, and ruin my plan."
Armas hurriedly bowed respectfully, his tone full of determination and loyalty: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best to do this and will do it beautifully, and I will never give the princess a chance to escape. If Your Majesty allows me, I can set off immediately and go to the Central Plains to fulfill my mission."
Hesheli heard this and showed a satisfied smile on his face and nodded slightly.
"Okay, I've read it right, Armas, you have always done your job well. If you can solve the problem successfully this time, I will have a great reward. You can prepare now. I will make arrangements for everything you need, and I just hope that you will receive good news soon."
Armas saluted again and replied loudly: "Thank you, your Majesty, I will live up to your expectations!"
After saying that, he stepped back and started preparing for this itinerary full of conspiracy and blood. Hesheli sat on the throne, as if he had seen the princess' miserable end, and a cruel curve appeared on the corner of his mouth.
On the other side, the coachman drove the carriage and took Zhao Qiang to gallop all the way, and soon he successfully entered Youzhou City.
As soon as I entered the city, the bustling scene came to my face. There were many pedestrians on the streets, with shops on both sides, shouting and laughing intertwined, like a vivid picture of the city.
It was the first time both of them saw such a prosperous scene, and their eyes were a little overwhelmed.
As he was walking, he passed by a stall full of various gadgets, Zhao Qiang couldn't move his steps at once, and his heart was full of novelty, so he wanted to stop and buy something.
Those small objects with unique shapes reminded him of his younger brother who was far away from his hometown, thinking that if he took some back, his younger brother would be very happy.
Seeing this, the coachman hurriedly urged, "Oh, Master, we can't delay. The Prime Minister is still waiting for us in the mansion, so we have to go over quickly."
Zhao Qiang disagreed. While bent down and flirted with the small things on the stall, he replied, "How long does it take to buy a small thing? It won't be a problem if we delay this a little bit. Look how interesting it is, I will pick a few of them for my brother to take them back."
As he said that, his hands didn't stop moving, his eyes were full of love, and he was completely immersed in the fun of choosing gadgets.
After a while, the various gadgets on the stall gradually attracted the attention of the coachman.
Looking at the delicate and cute small objects with their own characteristics, the coachman's originally eager to go on a journey gradually faded. He couldn't help but reach out to pick up one and look at it carefully. The more he looked, the more interesting it became.
He looked up at Zhao Qiang, with a hint of embarrassment on his face, scratching his head and saying, "Oh, you were still picking here just now, and I kept urging you. I didn't expect that now I am fascinated by these little things, and I want to choose a few to buy them back, haha."
When Zhao Qiang heard this, he laughed out loud and joked: "Carrier, I'll just say these little things are interesting. This has attracted you too. It's rare for us to come to Youzhou City. It's better to buy some to leave a memory. The Prime Minister is not bad for a while."
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and they both started to choose from the stall with peace of mind. They discussed with each other which small object was more unique and worth buying. The tense atmosphere of rushing to the road just now had already disappeared without a trace.
After a while, the two of them satisfactorily put away their picks of gadgets, officially restarted the vehicle, and rushed to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
While driving, the coachman was wondering, thinking that the delay had indeed been delayed for some time, but he must not wait too long. He immediately whipped the horse whip hard and asked the horse to run faster.
Unexpectedly, the carriage was so fast that when passing a street stall, he heard a "slam" sound and accidentally broke the goods on the stall.
It turned out that this was a rice stall. After being hit like this, several bags of rice were broken. The white rice was spread all over the floor in an instant, and the screams of passers-by sounded around.
The stall owner was a gray-haired old man. Seeing this, he was so angry that his face turned red. He rushed forward in two steps, grabbed the reins, stared at him and shouted loudly: "What are you doing! Look, what are you doing? My hard-working business has been ruined by you. Hurry up and compensate me, otherwise it will be endless today!"
Seeing this, the coachman hurriedly tied the reins, his face full of guilt and embarrassment, and he jumped out of the car and repeatedly compensated him.
"Uncle, I'm really sorry. We are in a hurry to go on our way and didn't pay attention for a while. You can calm down. We will compensate you now, and you will compensate you now."
Zhao Qiang also got out of the car quickly and stood aside, looking embarrassed, thinking that the more anxious this was, the more trouble it became.
The coachman looked embarrassed and said to the old man with a bitter face: "Master, you see, I am just a carriage driver. It's really not easy to make money. This is a negligence that has caused trouble for you. I'm really sorry. Do you think this is the case? I'll help you sort out the rice quickly and try to get it together for you. You can give it your best to keep it. Don't let me compensate me."
When the old man heard this, his beard shook so much that he pointed at the white broken rice on the ground with his fingers, shouting in a high voice: "You are so light! The rice has been scattered on the ground, and many of them have been broken into pieces. How can I sell it? I am just counting on this little life. If you don't compensate, would you let me drink the northwest wind?"
There were already many people watching the fun around him, and when they heard the old man's words, they all agreed.
"That's right, if you break someone's things, there's no reason not to compensate."
"It's not easy for me to do some small business, so you can't cheat."
Everyone said something, and the coachman's face turned red and white, and he became more and more embarrassed.
He looked at Zhao Qiang as if asking for help, and Zhao Qiang looked helpless. They were indeed in the wrong, but they didn't have much money. For a moment, the two of them were in a dilemma and surrounded by everyone, not knowing what to do.
At this time, the coachman was so angry that he felt so angry that his face suddenly became dark. But now that things were over, there was nothing he could do, so he had to grit his teeth and take out the money from his pocket to pay the old man.
After paying the money, the coachman said to Zhao Qiang angrily: "I've been hurt by you. If I hadn't stopped and bought those little things, I would have been delayed. How could this happen? I'll have been doing this for you like this, so I'll have encountered unlucky things."
After hearing this, Zhao Qiang felt unhappy. He frowned and retorted: "I told you to leave, but you didn't listen to it yourself. Isn't you still attracted by those little things? How can this blame me?"
The two of them just said something and said a few words, but seeing that there were still many people watching the fun around them, they were really anxious to wait until they delayed the Prime Minister.
The coachman waved his hand helplessly, sighed and said, "Forget it, don't argue now, let's continue on the road. If you go to the Prime Minister's Mansion later, maybe something will happen again."
After saying that, the two of them climbed onto the carriage with their heads in silence. The coachman raised his whip again and drove the horse to continue to rush towards the Prime Minister's Mansion. However, along the way, both of them were still feeling humiliated.
After a bumpy journey, I finally arrived at the majestic and solemn Prime Minister's Mansion.
Looking at the extraordinary mansion in front of him, the coachman's mood, which was originally gloomy due to the misfortunes on the road, suddenly disappeared, and his face was filled with joy.
He turned to look at Zhao Qiang and said apologetically: "I was indeed a little unreasonable just now, just urging complaints. Actually, if you think about it carefully, if you have the opportunity to meet the Prime Minister, it is more important than anything else. What are the bumps and bumps just now?"
After hearing this, Zhao Qiang couldn't help but laugh and curse and responded: "Hmph, just know this principle, but it's a big deal that I'm scolding me. But the matter has passed, so don't put it in your heart. Go in quickly, don't let the Prime Minister wait for a long time."
As they said that, the two of them were dressed and walked towards the open vermilion gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion with a feeling of anxiety and expectation. They wondered what would happen to them.
Just as they were about to step into the Prime Minister's Mansion, the soldiers guarding the gate suddenly stretched out their hands and immediately stopped the two of them. They looked up and down with a serious and vigilant look on their faces, and asked sternly: "Who are you? What's the matter when you come to the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
Zhao Qiang hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Mr. Jun, we heard from the soldiers from the border crossing that the Prime Minister wanted to see us, so we rushed over."
One of the soldiers frowned, with a little suspicion still in their eyes, and asked again: "Are you the two people who sent the letter?"
Zhao Qiang nodded quickly, and the soldier then put away his vigilance, his tone eased a little, and said, "Since that's the case, come with me, I'll take you there, but follow closely, don't run around, there are many rules in the Prime Minister's Mansion."
The two of them responded quickly, followed the soldier and walked carefully into the mansion.
Along the way, looking at the carved beams and painted buildings and the deep scene of the courtyard, I was both curious and nervous. I didn’t know what the Prime Minister would be facing soon would be. With such thoughts, my steps became more and more cautious.
Seeing their nervous appearance, the soldiers couldn't help laughing, and while leading the way in front of them, they comforted: "You don't need to be so nervous. Our Prime Minister is very kind, and he is not a tiger that can eat people, so he won't make things difficult for you."
After hearing this, the two of them smiled embarrassedly, but they couldn't suppress the excitement in their hearts.
After all, what I want to see is a high-ranking and powerful prime minister, how can I be as calm as usual?
Finally, the soldiers took them through the corridors and came to Xi Yu's study.
At this moment, Xi Yu stood tall at the door with a straight look, looking at this side with a calm look. The soldier hurriedly stepped forward, saluted respectfully, and reported loudly: "Sir, these are the two people who sent the letter, I have brought you."
When Zhao Qiang and the coachman saw Xi Yu, they suddenly became panicked and were at a loss for a moment. The legs were shaking slightly uncontrollably and their lips were trembling.
I wanted to say something, but it seemed like my throat was blocked, and I couldn't spit out a word for a while.
They never expected that one day they would be able to stand in front of the Prime Minister so close.
The excitement and tension were intertwined, leaving them completely losing their usual freedom.
Seeing this, the soldiers hurriedly reminded them to salute quickly, but Xi Yu looked at the nervous and helpless look of the two of them, waved his hand, and ordered the soldiers: "Just go to the door and guard it, there is nothing you have to do here."
Then, Xi Yu turned his eyes to Zhao Qiang and the coachman, and asked in a calm tone: "Did you send the letter to the transit?"
Zhao Qiang was so nervous that his face flushed, and he responded in a panic: "Yes...yes, Prime Minister, you guys are so excited when you see you, and don't know how to salute you. I hope Prime Minister should not be surprised."
As he said that, he kept rubbing his hands, looking uneasy.
The coachman reacted faster, and knelt down with a "thump" sound, and said loudly: "Greetings to the Prime Minister!"
Xi Yu raised his hand slightly and said with a smile: "Okay, don't say anything. Look at you who are nervous, just go to the pavilion over there to sit for a while."
After saying that, he took the lead in walking towards the pavilion not far away, his clothes swayed lightly in the wind, and his every move showed a calm attitude.
Zhao Qiang and the coachman responded quickly, looked at each other, and then followed carefully, feeling nervous and curious, not knowing what the Prime Minister would say to them next.
The two followed each other step by step. Xi Yu turned around and saw that they were still tense, and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous. I don't have three heads and six arms, I'm just an ordinary person."
After this comfort, the two of them finally relaxed a little, and their expressions looked a little normal.
At this time, the coachman hesitated for a moment, and still plucked up the courage to speak, "Sir, I'm really sorry. We have been delaying some time on the road, and I don't know if you blame me here."
Xi Yu shook his head gently, his tone still gentle.
"It's okay, you can come anytime, how can I blame you? Don't worry."
The coachman and Zhao Qiang looked at each other, and a look of bitterness appeared on their faces.
Seeing this, Xi Yu couldn't help but ask curiously: "What's wrong? Is there anything else to do with your expression?"
Seeing this, it was hard to hide it. So you said and said, "I'll hurry up on the road because of the speed of the carriage, and accidentally rushed around and broke the rice stall. The rice was spread all over the floor. I told you the whole story.
As he spoke, his head lowered and he felt guilty. After all, this was indeed theirs.
After understanding the reason for the incident, Xi Yu nodded slightly and said with a serious look: "If you touch someone else's things, you really have to compensate you. This is the right reason. Actually, I have done something similar some time ago."
Speaking of this, Xi Yu fell into memories and slowly spoke: "One time I went out and accidentally knocked down the mung beans placed on a stall on the street. The mung beans were all over the floor. I had an urgent matter at that time, so I really didn't have time to stop and apologize to the stall owner, but this matter was always in my heart. After finishing the work, I returned specifically, found the stall owner, and apologized sincerely. No matter where we are, we have to bear the wrong things and give them an explanation."
Zhao Qiang and the coachman were both surprised and admired when they heard the Prime Minister's words. Unexpectedly, the Prime Minister, who was highly powerful, had such a down-to-earth and obedient side.
