Shangguan Ruoli was shocked when he heard this and looked at Dongming Ziyu.

Dongming Ziyu was very calm, "Eat first!"

At the same time, he glanced at Mo Wen reproachfully, "Don't report disgusting things while eating."

"Yes!" Mo Wen continued to work.

Shangguan Ruoli smiled slyly and said: "I'm not afraid of that thing causing trouble. When the time comes, we will have an excuse to take our bodyguards and leave first, go to a comfortable place to wait, and let Prime Minister Xu, an old man, slowly wander around the official road!"

"

She had to go to the Meihua Pavilion hidden piles to inspect various places, so she didn't have time to write ink on the road.

While I was having such a fuss with Prime Minister Xu at Shiliting, I happened to leave first on the grounds that I didn't want to see him.

Dongming Ziyu liked her little fox look and said with a chuckle: "Okay, let's go and count how many benefits Meihua Pavilion has received from the Beiling Su family."

Shangguan Ruoli was in a good mood, but she found that she was still the best at robbery. Opening a restaurant and doing business were too troublesome.

Both of them ate quickly and didn't throw away the leftover food. They put it in the food box to eat on the road. It's not easy to spoil things in the cold weather anyway.

After leaving the door, Ruhua, who was dressed as a guard, came up to her and said softly: "I smell a slight smell of corpse."

Shangguan Ruoli asked in a deep voice: "Where is it? Who is it?"

Ru Hua said: "It's not among our people, it's among the people accompanying them. I haven't had a chance to confirm who it is."

Shangguan Ruoli asked: "Why are we using zombies to follow us?"

Ruhua chuckled and said: "Assassination, surveillance, tracking, sending messages, everything can be done, it depends on what kind of spell the corpse raiser puts on the corpse. They have no breathing and heartbeat. If they hide in a place and don't move, they can't be noticed.

"

Shangguan Ruoli rubbed his temples in worry, "How many are there?"

Ru Hua said: "Not many, just one or two. It's cold and the clothes are thick, so it's hard to judge. There won't be too many. The zombies' eyes, skin color, and actions are still different from ordinary people. They don't eat, drink, or sleep.

, it’s easy to be discovered if there are too many.”

Dongming Ziyu said coldly: "They are probably monitoring or spreading information. If they want to assassinate, they will not hide in the team, but will ambush halfway."

Mo Xiang said: "My slaves reported this matter to Wang Feng and other generals and asked them to be careful."

Dongming Ziyu nodded and led Shangguan Ruo out of the courtyard of the post house.

Officials from the Ministry of Rites, Mr. Chen and Prime Minister Xu, are already waiting outside, and the envoy team is also ready to go.

"Your Majesty, Princess, are you ready to set off?" Prime Minister Xu greeted us respectfully and saluted.

"Yeah." Dongming Ziyu's signature word is one word.

Shangguan Ruoli ignored him at all and walked past him with his head held high.

Behind him, Prime Minister Xu's respectful expression slowly faded, and a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes.

We got on the carriage and headed north at full speed. We didn't make it to town for lunch, so everyone was on horseback and made do with the dry food they brought in the car.

When it was completely dark, we arrived at a relatively small town.

The town is too small and there is no inn.

Everyone is planning to camp outside the city, set up stoves for cooking, and go to the town to purchase some supplies.

However, as soon as I selected a place to camp and got off the carriage, I saw many lanterns and torches moving towards me from the direction of the town.

The moment Wang Feng saw the fire, he sent someone to check the situation.

After a while, the personal guard who checked the situation came back and reported: "It is the county magistrate of this town, leading his subordinates and squires to greet him."

Dongming Ziyu said: "There is no need to set up our tent."

Shangguan Ruoli looked at Dongming Ziyu, "Shall we go into the town?"

Dongming Ziyu gathered the fox fur collar of his cloak for her and said, "I was planning to take you to stay at the inn. Now that they are here, it's just the right time."

Dongming Ziyu is not a low-key person on the surface, which is evident from his luxurious carriage.

After a while, the local county magistrate arrived with the county magistrate, the chief registrar and several well-dressed men. He got off his horse and knelt in front of Dongming Ziyu and saluted: "I'm here to pay my respects to the prince, the princess, the prime minister, and Mr. Chen."

.”

This man has prayed all the way, and he knows quite a lot about it.

The county magistrate said: "Your Majesty, I am Cui Langming, the county magistrate here. I learned that you were leading a delegation passing by here, so I greeted you outside the city. I also invited the prince, princess and other gentlemen to come to the city to have a rest. I will prepare some wine."

I’ll give you a blessing and wash away the dust for all of you.”

Magistrate Cui looks like he is in his early forties, with a somewhat stout figure and a pair of shrewd eyes.

His voice was trembling, which showed that he was very nervous. He was a small county magistrate, and his chances of meeting the prince, princess, prime minister, and minister were very slim.

He felt that these noble people might not agree.

Unexpectedly, Dongming Ziyu said calmly: "Yes!"

So, a large group of people camped outside the city. Dongming Ziyu, Shangguan Ruoli, Prime Minister Xu, and Master Chen got on the carriage again and entered the town with their respective entourages.

Cui Mansion had already been prepared. As soon as he entered Cui Mansion, the men of Cui Mansion and the whole family knelt to greet him.

"Caomin (women) pay homage to King Xuan and Princess Xuan! Pay homage to the Prime Minister, Mr. Chen!"

Dongming Ziyu glanced at the people kneeling on the ground indifferently, and without even saying "um" to him, he pulled Shangguan Ruoli and walked into the Cui Mansion.

Spokesperson Mo Wen appeared at the right time, raised his chin and said loudly: "I'm free of charge!"

Because it was getting late, everyone took a short rest and then the feast began.

Although Dongming Ziyu never liked such a banquet, he did not refuse it.

Shangguan Ruoli is already unparalleled in beauty. Today, in order to give Dongming Ziyu a long face, she lightly put on pear blossom makeup, which further showed her cool and independent temperament.

She wore a red floor-length skirt underneath, and a white fox fur cloak outside. The fox fur was as white as snow, which made Shangguan Ruoli look even more unworldly.

Dongming Ziyu was still dressed in black, with a black cloak on top. He and Shangguan Ruoli, one black and one white, complemented each other so well that no one could take their eyes away from them.

When Dongming Ziyu and Shangguan Ruoli were escorted to the hall, many people had already arrived.

Everyone was saluting outside just now. The light was dim and they were so nervous that they didn't dare to look up. They didn't see the appearance of the nobles of the capital at all.

Now under the bright light, seeing Dongming Ziyu and Shangguan Ruoli, they were stunned for a while before they recovered and quickly saluted.

Shangguan Ruoli glanced at the hall indifferently. They were all traditional people sitting at a long table, kneeling on cotton cushions.

He and Dongming Ziyu sat down at the main table together, and found that the tableware in front of them were all brought from Prince Xuan's Mansion. They used their own tableware, so there was no need to worry about food hygiene.

No wonder Mo Xiang wasn't around to wait on her just now. It turned out that she took someone to the kitchen to arrange these things.

When Shangguan Ruoli and Dongming Ziyu sat down, Mo Wencai said loudly: "Please take a seat without courtesy!"

Dongming Ziyu raised his teacup and said, "Let's have a banquet."

Is this the end?

You don't always give a long speech like a leader, you have to say a few polite words, right?
