The boatman took out a board and put it on the two boats. Master Li took a step back and stretched out his hand: "Envoy Wen Dun, please."

  Wen Dun nodded slightly, stepped onto the wooden board and passed the painting boat on Gu Jingyun's side, followed by Master Li.

   "The painting boat is rudimentary, as long as you two don't mind." Gu Jingyun turned around and led them into the cabin.

  Wen Dun and Master Li looked at the light curtain hanging on the painting boat and said with a smile: "If Master Gu's painting boat is still simple, then our painting boat is simply unsightly."

   Lord Li smiled, "Is Lord Wenton blaming the poor reception?"

   "Master Li, please don't misunderstand. The following is saying that Master Gu's painting boat is elegantly and carefully arranged." Wen Dun said and looked at Li Baolu, who was standing a step behind Gu Jingyun.

   Anyone can see who this arrangement is for.

   Mr. Li twitched the corners of his mouth and secretly said: Since you know that the young couple is meeting, why do you insist on interfering?

  Gu Jingyun only smiled lightly, opened the curtain and said sideways: "Both of you please."

  Wen Dun and Lord Li entered the cabin and sighed with relief when they saw the layout inside. It was obviously the simplest layout, but because of the spaciousness, they also felt a lot more relaxed.

   The four of them sat around the short side, and the boat lady put on freshly brewed tea and new snacks and dried fruits, and resigned respectfully.

  Li Baolu and the others put all the lotus flowers they picked in a vase, and plan to divide them when they go back.

  Wen Dun was really interested in Li Baolu's qinggong, so he still held on to this question, "Mrs. Gu, your kung fu is really amazing, how many years have you been practicing?"

   "Eleven years."

   "Mrs. Gu must be very talented," Wen Dun also knows martial arts, and knows how difficult it is to practice martial arts. There are few people in the world who can achieve this in eleven years.

   His eyes lit up and he asked, "Are all girls in the Central Plains as powerful as Madam Gu?"

   Li Baolu chuckled and said, "I am interested in martial arts, so I practice martial arts, but others may not like this. Civil and martial artisans, martial arts are only one of them."

   "I heard that Da Chu is going to reopen the women's school, will the women's school also teach students martial arts?"

   Li Baolu looked at Gu Jingyun.

  Gu Jingyun shook his head slightly, "There are lessons on horseback riding and archery, but there is no martial arts lesson."

  Wen Dun then looked at Gu Jingyun, "Gu Gongzi is very familiar with women's studies? I thought Madam Zun would be more familiar with it."

   Master Li explained: "Master Gu teaches at Qingxi Academy, and Master Gu naturally knows more about the arrangement of the academy than Madam Gu."

   A strange feeling suddenly rose in Wen Dun's heart. There seemed to be a light flashing in his mind, but he didn't catch it because it flashed too fast.

   "Master Gu can still go to the academy to teach when he is an official in the court, can you move the time?" Moreover, you have both the salary of the imperial court and the training of the academy. The treatment of your officials in Great Chu is so good, and the requirements are so loose?

Gu Jingyun glanced at the thoughtful Wen Dun, and said with a chuckle, "This is the grace of the late emperor, and the work arranged by the Hanlin Academy for Gu is not complicated, so there is still enough time. I can see Wen Dun here. The minister was a little surprised, Gu thought that the two countries were negotiating peace, and Envoy Wen Dun should be very busy, but I didn’t expect that the interest was so high.”

   The light in Wen Dun's mind finally became bigger and bigger, and it was fully presented in his mind.

   Wen Dun had a soft smile on his face, clenched his fists and said with a smile: "It turned out that it was Minister Gu and Madam Gu. I really admired the name for a long time."

   He looked at Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu carefully and said with a smile, "You two are younger than you imagined."

   "Envoy Wen Dun is also more polite and amiable than Gu thought."

   The two looked at each other and smiled, and the envoy Wen Dun instantly moved Gu Jingyun's position from the Chu minister who could draw friends to the enemy who needed to be alert and careful.

Envoy Wen Dun took the initiative to pick up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for the three of Gu Jingyun and smiled: "I went to see Heihan when I first arrived in the capital. He praised and praised Madam Zun's Qing Gong, and I have always had some doubts in my heart. , I thought he was exaggerating, but just after a glimpse, I realized that what he said was true."

   He raised the teacup to Li Baolu and said with a smile, "Mrs. Gu is very skilled, I'll give you a toast."

  Li Baolu picked up the teacup and asked with a smile, "I captured your general, doesn't the envoy blame me?"

"I would like to thank Mrs. Gu for taking action to catch the people and not letting them hurt Mr. Gu. Otherwise, I will be to blame for my death." Wen Dun drank all the tea in the cup and sighed: "Heihan was deceived by the traitor, thinking that if he caught Master Gu, he could save the fifth prince, but he didn't know that this was all a trick of the eldest prince's line. If Heihan really caught Master Gu or hurt Master Gu, then It is imperative that the two countries go to war, and when the time comes, the border gates will be full of flames, and only the people and soldiers on the border between the two countries will suffer."

"The three of you all know that the khans of our country have always admired the culture of the previous dynasty, and they always put peace in frontier and foreign affairs, but the eldest prince is different. The prince's faction will definitely take control of our country quickly. At that time, they will use the pretext of war with the upper court to suppress the khan's struggle for power and gain, and maybe they will deliberately annoy the upper court and kill the fifth prince, and the two countries will have a **** feud. No way." Wen Dun sighed, "Although he exposes his shortcomings, but now the upper court has a lot of misunderstandings about our country, and I can't even care about it."

Wen Dun poured himself a cup of tea, raised the tea cup again and gestured to Li Baolu, "Mrs Gu, I'm here to sincerely thank you, thank you for stopping Heihan and not letting him make a big mistake that caused the two countries to suffer. loss."

  Li Baolu smiled and drank the tea in his hand, "Envoy Wen Dun is polite, I didn't think much of it when I arrested them, but I was just about to die, and I fought back angrily."

  Wen Dun's face was full of apology, he got up and saluted: "Heihan acted recklessly, please forgive Mrs. Gu."

Mr. Li, who was on the sidelines, sighed in his heart. No wonder Qin Ge always said that Wen Dun was a very strong opponent. He was neither angry nor embarrassed. If he were to be replaced, even if he was not angry, he would not be able to sit still. Talking and laughing, he did his best for a general and a little girl.

  Li Baolu raised her hand in return, "Envoy Wen Dun is very polite, they want to kill us, we will catch them, the cause and effect of this matter is forgotten, and there is no excuse."

Wen Dun really doesn't know how to answer now. He still wants to take advantage of the situation to play some tragic cards, at least to make them feel that Heihan is really being deceived by the eldest prince's family, not their second prince. .

However, seeing that Li Baolu had no intention of mentioning this matter any more, he could only change the subject: "Now that the eldest prince has been defeated and slain, we Khan still hope that we can reconnect with the great Chu. The fifth prince is related. If our khan really has the intention of rebelling, we wouldn’t send our own younger brother to Chu, right? Our khan and the fifth prince have always had a good relationship…”

Gu Jingyun smiled and reminded him: "The new khan only came to the throne not long ago, and the fifth prince's envoy to the capital was the will of the former khan. As far as Gu knows, the former khan of your country is very good to me. It's never been very friendly."

   "That's all a misunderstanding. When the assassination from the hunting ground was reported back to the country, my king was furious, for fear that the previous court would misunderstand the Tartars, and he would get sicker with anger, otherwise he would not, alas..."

   "That's a pity," Gu Jingyun slid the teacup on the table and sighed as well, "The fifth prince didn't even see the last face of the late king."

"Who said it wasn't," Wen Dun stiffened his back and said, "Our Khan was afraid that the fifth prince would have another accident outside, so he has been rushing me to bring the fifth prince back. Lord Gu, I know that the emperor assassinated the hunting ground. Annoyed, but although those rebels are Tatars, they have nothing to do with the Tatar royal family. On the contrary, their tribe was once subdued by the royal court, and they are particularly resentful of the royal court. They don’t know how they got into five The prince's side is trying to provoke disputes between the two countries, which is really outrageous."

  Gu Jingyun pursed his lips and drank tea without saying a word.

Wen Dun looked at him with bright eyes and said: "Master Gu, I know that you are the prince's teacher, you are very knowledgeable, and you have a right to speak in the court. The crime of ignoring him, but he has no intention of rebelling, and I hope that the upper court will allow him to take him back and teach him a lesson."

"Envoy Wenton can ask to see His Majesty. What you said is well-founded. I think His Majesty will believe you. I have always been generous and virtuous towards His Majesty. If the fifth prince and the new Khan are really innocent, I think His Majesty will not. Embarrassing the Fifth Prince."

  ...It's because the emperor didn't believe me that he came to you as a lobbyist.

   Envoy Winton looked at him silently.

   Gu Jingyun raised his glass and gestured to him, smiled and pointed to the dim sum on the table: "How about the dim sum from my capital, how does the envoy compare to the dim sum of your royal court?"

   Wen Dun smiled and said, "Of course it's very good, but the food is still good at home. After all, it has the taste of home. I'm afraid that the fifth prince will find it difficult to eat the royal family's food in the future."

Li Baolu interjected: "This is simple. Envoy Wen Dun can send two cooks to the fifth prince when he goes back. The capital is vast, so we can definitely find the ingredients the cooks need. If the fifth prince likes it, he can eat Wang Ting's dishes every day. make."

   A smile flashed in Gu Jingyun's eyes, and he nodded solemnly, "This idea is really good."

   Mr. Li almost burst out laughing, looking at the silent envoy Wen Dun and sympathizing.

  Envoy Wen Dun was only choked for a while, but his face was still as warm as usual. Seeing that Gu Jingyun was not slipping his hands, he no longer mentioned the fifth prince and Heihan, but talked with them over the refreshments on the table.

   Since the fifth prince, Gu Jingyun, was unwilling to say a word for him, let alone Heihan.

   Heihan said that they almost killed Gu Jingyun back then.

  Wen Dun lowered his eyes and thought for a while, thinking that he should have a good relationship with Gu Jingyun, even if he can't help them, as long as he doesn't destroy them.

   It is his uncle Qin Xinfang who is negotiating with them now. His attitude is very important. Maybe he will not say good things for them.

   But if he has bad feelings for them and shows it in front of Qin Xinfang, it will bring great disadvantages to their negotiation.

   So in order to avoid such a situation from happening, Gu Jingyun should try his best to get along well, even if he can't get along in harmony, he mustn't make him feel disgusted with them.
