Chapter 248: A Visitor

"This..." The servant looked embarrassed and was about to turn around and leave

"Slow down!"

Lu Feifei suddenly stopped the servant and said to Xiao Yun: "Master Zuo Si is a second-rank official of the dynasty. If you have nothing to do, you may as well meet him and hear what Master Zuo Si said?"

Xiao Yun actually wanted to meet this second-rank official who was highly valued by Tuotuo. He just said that he was just a three-woman look at it. Sure enough, Xiaodie and Axue heard Lu Feifei say this and said in unison: "Yes, Brother Xiao, you should meet him, right? Don't you want to delay the great affairs of the court for us?"

"Yes, but didn't I promise you to go to Xiangshan Temple?" Xiao Yun shamelessly pretended to be as if he had killed his relatives for justice.

A Xueying smiled and said, "My husband is really confused. I can't go to Xiangshan Temple today, and it's not too late to go again tomorrow. The major affairs of the court cannot be delayed. My husband should let Lord Zuosi come in quickly?"

Xiao Yun looked at Xiaodie without any objection and said, "What do you think Xiaodie?"

Xiaodie never had a chance to speak on weekdays. Compared to Axue, she was not as gentle as Axue. Compared to Lu Feifei, she had no opinion. She was always like a docile little sheep, quietly obeying other people's arrangements. Gradually, everyone got used to her quiet temperament. No one noticed that she actually wanted to speak. When Xiao Yun asked this, Xiaodie was shocked, and her heart was pounding and she said to herself: "Brother Xiao asked me, Brother Xiao asked me?"

"Xiaodie, do you think Brother Xiao should meet Lord Zuo Si?" Xiao Yun stared at her and asked again.

Xiaodie's heart beat a few times before suppressing her excitement, she said, "Of course, I've seen a man, and Brother Xiao is a good man. Of course, it's important to have a major event in the court?"

"Okay, Xiaodie said it well, a good man, and his ambition is in all directions. Today, Mr. Zuo Si, Xiao will see him!" After Xiao Yun finished speaking, he turned around and said to the servant with his hands behind his back, "You go and invite Mr. Zuo Si in?"

Axue said: "They discussed their national affairs, and we women played with us." After saying that, she smiled faintly at Xiao Yun, walked to Xiaodie, and shouted: "Xiaodie girl, let's go to the back garden today?" Xiao Yun knew that Axue was afraid that they were there, so she couldn't let go, so she didn't try to keep her. She threw a big charming look at the two of them. The action only made Lu Feifei get goosebumps all over her body, thinking: "Is this Xiao Yun really dare to take action?"

When the three of them went to the backyard, Xiao Yun's face immediately showed a look of doubt. He and Ru Zhongbai did not know each other, and they hardly met each other. If they wanted to say familiar things, they only learned from later historical books that Ru Zhongbai was particularly supported by Tuotuo, and no matter how big or small, Tuotuo often discussed with him, and asked him to preside over the affairs of the Left Secretariat Senate of the Secretariat. Ru Zhongbai, with Tuotuo's special status, was arrogant and arbitrary in everything. It was this support that later caused Tuotuo's demotion in southern Xinjiang and also saved Zhang Shicheng.

Just as Xiao Yun was racking his brains for Ru Zhongbai to come to the mansion to pay homage to him, Ru Zhongbai walked slowly into the gate of Lujiabao with steady steps.

Because Lujiabao is a big horse breeder today, the entire Lujiabao is divided into five large areas according to accommodation, eating, sleeping, playing, raising horses and grazing. The east is the sunny day to facilitate horse stocking, and it is an area for raising horses and grazing. The garden area and the official office area of ​​the mansion are all in the south, and the north is Lu Zhanpeng's residence and office place. Xiao Yun's mansion is on the west, which is a little far from the gate of Lujiabao. Xiao Yun thinks that it is best to meet for the first time, so Ru Zhongbai was led to Zhonghe Mansion in the middle by the servants of Lujiabao.

Although Zhonghe Prefecture is located in the middle of the five districts in the southeast, west, north, and central areas, there are few people here, not because no one comes to visit Lujiabao. In fact, Lu Zhanpeng, as Zhu Yuanzhang, arranged a secret spy lurking in Dadu, and his identity is hidden and inconvenient to be too ostentatious. Therefore, Lu Zhanpeng rarely interacts with people in the court on weekdays. Even some unnecessary visitors often invite the garden area to the east. Xiao Yun dared to let Ru Zhongbai enter Zhonghe Hall. In his opinion, it was just a place to meet guests, not a big deal.

Under the guidance of the servant, Ru Zhongbai entered Zhonghe Hall with a high threshold across the country. Because Lu Zhanpeng was from the southerner, his mansion was decorated in the style of Han people, with famous calligraphy and paintings, screens with dragons and phoenixes, dragon pillars, mahogany railings, and fragrant towers with little smoke. All of these were exuding the cultural atmosphere of Han people. Ru Zhongbai was led by the servant through one screen after another, and just introduced into the living room of Zhonghe Hall. After sitting in the living room for a while, Xiao Yun slowly walked out from behind a screen.

Before Ru Zhongbai got up, he heard a voice in front of his ears: "Xiao Yun, the lower official, met Lord Zuo Si..."

Hearing the sound, Ru Zhongbai stood up slightly, waved his hand, and said in an official voice: "You and I are both officials in the court. Lord Xiao does not need to be polite, sit down and talk!"

Xiao Yun said to himself: "Damn, who is the same rank as you? I'm following Zhu Yuanzhang to the death. The official of the Yuan Dynasty is just a part-time job. Once I find the boss, I will change jobs!" He was not polite at the moment, and sat opposite Ru Zhongbai. It was the first time that Xiao Yun saw Ru Zhongbai, and his eyes couldn't help but glance at him. However, he could not help but be stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Ru Zhongbai to look like this, with willow-leaf eyebrows, red phoenix eyes, lips like crimson dots, eyes like morning stars, wearing a white robe with a piece of ancient jade that you can tell at first glance was extraordinary. The ancient jade emitted a faint faint light, reflected on Ru Zhongbai's exquisite face, and was indescribable handsomeness.

Xiao Yun said in his heart: "Damn, the ancients said that Song Yu and Pan An are probably just like this? I didn't expect that Tuotuo Qiangu Yizai actually chose such a beautiful man as his successor? It seems that this man is also very beneficial to be good at looking good?" Although Xiao Yun also considered himself handsome, elegant and suave, when compared with Ru Zhongbai, he suddenly became much more overshadowed, and a sour smell came out of his heart.

While Xiao Yun was looking at Ru Zhongbai, Ru Zhongbai also looked at Xiao Yun secretly. Although he had heard all the rumors about Xiao Yun, it was the first time he had met face to face. He couldn't help but feel curious. He saw that although Xiao Yun was wearing an ordinary Confucian uniform, he looked much better than ordinary Han people. He couldn't say that feeling. He felt that this person was not a thing in the pool. Just this point, Ru Zhongbai felt that this trip was not in vain. When he first came, he just listened to Xiao Yun's every move from the spy in the capital. Ru Zhongbai was also heard about who Xiao Yun was, and he had a good impression of his intelligence. After meeting and looking at this time, he felt that this person could defeat the imperial sir of the dynasty, and even the Seventh Prince had to treat him differently. He did have two tricks.

The two of them looked at each other, and Xiao Yun felt that it would be better to ask for the purpose of the trip first. He clasped his fists and bowed, and said loudly: "As an adult, he is in an important position, and comes to the mansion alone to find a subordinate. I don't know what's up?"

Ru Zhongbai didn't expect Xiao Yun to go straight in, so he was slightly stunned and thought to himself, "This person is indeed extraordinary!" He holds an important position and talks to others, he always politely, or he just asks a question or answers. Sometimes even if he has something to ask, he will turn around and strike indirectly before expressing his intentions. It was the first time Ru Zhongbai entered directly in such a single sword like Xiao Yun. He was surprised and couldn't help feeling a little fresh, and said, "This person is indeed not an ordinary person. It seems that he has hope to wipe out Zhang Shicheng this time?" This made Xiao Yun feel more intimate.

Xiao Yun didn't know what Ru Zhongbai was thinking. Seeing that he hadn't replied for a long time, he couldn't help but feel curious and thought, "Mom, why do you look like a mother and speak like a woman? How could Tuotuo bear it?" He felt a little dissatisfied, but after all, the host was a guest and a high-ranking official. The so-called official was one level, which was crushed to death, let alone several levels, so he didn't dare to easily reveal his dissatisfaction. Xiao Yun patiently asked again: "I don't know what the lord is going to come to the mansion?" This time he became even more red, and even avoided the polite words in front of him.

Ru Zhongbai woke up at this moment, laughed hurriedly, and said, "Mr. Xiao is so serious. This time I am the order of Prime Minister Feng. Come and ask Lord Xiao to go to the training ground?"

When Xiao Yun was shocked when he heard Tuotuo send him to visit, he said in shock: "Master Prime Minister wants to see the lower official?"

Ru Zhongbai nodded and said, "That's right!"
