The boatman took out a board and put it on the two boats. Master Li took a step back a little later and stretched out his hand, "Please envoy Wen Dun."

Wen Dun nodded slightly, and walked up the wooden plank to pass the painting boat on Gu Jingyun's side, followed closely by Mr. Li.

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

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

Master Li smiled, "Master Wen Dun is blaming me for my poor hospitality?"

"Lord Li, please don't get me wrong, I'm saying that Master Gu's painting boat is elegantly arranged with care." Wen Dun looked at Li Baolu who was standing a step back from Gu Jingyun's side as he spoke.

Anyone can see who this arrangement is for.

Master Li twitched the corners of his mouth, and thought to himself: Since you know that the young couple is meeting, why do you insist on meddling?

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

Wen Dun and Master Li entered the cabin, and couldn't help sighing in relief after seeing the layout inside. It was obviously the simplest layout, but because of the spacious space, they also felt a lot more relaxed.

The four of them sat down on both sides around a short distance, and the boat lady put on freshly brewed tea and new snacks and dried fruits, and retreated respectfully.

The lotus flowers Li Baolu and the others picked were put in a vase, and they planned to share them when they returned home.

Wen Dun was really interested in Li Baolu's lightness kung fu, so he still clung to this question, "Madam Gu, your kung fu is really amazing, how many years have you practiced?"

"Eleven years have passed."

"Mrs. Gu must be extremely talented," Wen Dun also knows martial arts, knows how difficult it is to practice martial arts, and it is rare in the world to achieve such an achievement in eleven years.

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

Li Baolu smiled lightly and said, "I am interested in martial arts, so I practice martial arts, but others may not like it. Civil and martial arts medicine craftsman, martial arts is just one way."

"I heard that Da Chu is going to reopen the women's school. Does 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 lesson on martial arts."

Only then did Wen Dun look at Gu Jingyun, "Mr. Gu is very familiar with women's studies? I thought Mrs. Zun would be more familiar with it."

Mr. Li explained: "Mr. Gu teaches in Qingxi Academy, so Mr. Gu naturally knows more about the arrangement of the academy than Mrs. Gu."

A strange feeling suddenly rose in Wen Dun's heart. It seemed that a light flashed in his mind, but he missed 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 spare time?" Besides, you take the salary from the imperial court and the Shuxiu from the academy. You officials in Dachu are treated so well, and the requirements are so lenient?

Gu Jingyun glanced at the thoughtful Wen Dun, and smiled lightly: "This is the grace of the late emperor, and the work assigned to Gu by the Imperial Academy is not complicated, so there is enough time. I can see the envoy of Wen Dun here. The minister was a little surprised, Gu thought that the two countries were in peace talks, and envoy Wen Dun should be very busy, but he did not expect to be so interested."

The bright light in Wen Dun's mind finally got bigger and bigger, and it fully appeared in his mind.

A gentle smile spread across Wen Dun's face, he clenched his fists and said with a smile, "So it's Gu Shidao and Mrs. Gu, they've been famous for a long time."

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

"Wen Dun's envoy is also more courteous and friendly than Gu thought."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and Wen Dun's envoy instantly moved Gu Jingyun's position from the Chu Chen who could be drawn and made friends to the enemy who needed to be on guard 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 said with a smile: "When I first arrived in the capital, I went to meet Heihan. He praised Mrs. Zun's lightness skill again and again. I have always had some doubts in my heart. , thinking that he was exaggerating, but only after a glimpse just now did he realize that what he said was true."

He raised his teacup to Li Baolu and said with a smile: "Madam Gu is very skilled, I would like to offer you a cup."

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

"I would like to thank Mrs. Gu for catching people and not letting them hurt Mr. Gu, otherwise I will be to blame for my death." Wen Dun drank the tea in his cup and sighed: "Heihan was deceived by the traitors, thinking that he could save the fifth prince by capturing Mr. Gu, but he didn't realize that this was all a trick of the eldest prince's family. If Heihan really captured Mr. Gu, or hurt Mr. Gu, then It is imperative for the two countries to go to war, and when the border crosses are raging, only the people and soldiers on the border between the two countries will suffer."

"The three of you all know that the Khan of our country has always respected the culture of the Shang Dynasty, and he always regards peace as the most important thing in border and foreign affairs. The eldest prince is different. He has always advocated war and supported war with war. If war really arises, the great The prince faction will definitely take control of our country quickly. At that time, they will use the excuse of fighting with the upper court to suppress the Khan to fight for power and profit. Maybe they will deliberately annoy the upper court and kill the fifth prince. When the two countries form a bloody feud, then they really don’t want to fight It can't be done." Wen Dun sighed, "Although it's not good to expose his shortcomings, but now the upper court has a lot of misunderstandings about our country, and the lower court can't care about it."

Wen Dun poured himself a cup of tea, raised the teacup again and signaled to Li Baolu, "Madam Gu, I would like to thank you sincerely, 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 being polite. I didn't think too much when I arrested them. I just fought back angrily when I was about to die."

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

Mr. Li, who was watching from the sidelines, sighed in his heart. No wonder Qin Ge always said that Wen Dun was a strong opponent. He was neither angry nor embarrassed. Talking and laughing happily, he did his best to keep a low profile for a general and a little girl.

Li Baolu raised her hand in return, "Envoy Wen Dun is being polite, they want to kill us, we catch them, forget about the cause and effect of this matter, we can't talk about forgiveness."

Wen Dun really didn't know what to say now, and he wanted to take advantage of the situation to play some tragic cards, at least to make them feel that Heihan was really deceived by the first prince's family, and not ordered by their second prince .

However, seeing that Li Baolu didn't intend to bring up this matter any more, he could only change the subject and said, "Now that the eldest prince has been defeated and suppressed, our Khan still hopes to restore the old relationship with the great Chu. The fact that the first emperor was assassinated in the hunting ground is not the same as that." The fifth prince is related, if our Khan really had the intention of treason, we wouldn’t send our own brother to Dachu, right? Our Khan and the fifth prince have always had a good relationship..."

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

"It was all a misunderstanding. When the assassination on the hunting ground was reported back to the country, my king was furious. I was afraid that the court would misunderstand the Tatars. He became sicker and sicker under the aggravation of anger, otherwise it would not have happened, alas..."

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

"Who says it's not?" Wen Dun straightened his back and said, "Our Khan was afraid that something might happen to the fifth prince when he was away, so he has been pressing me to take the fifth prince back. Mr. Gu, I know that the court assassinated the fifth prince. Annoyed, but although those rebels are my 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 towards the royal court in their hearts. They don’t know how they got mixed up It is really unreasonable for those around the prince to try to stir up disputes between the two countries."

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

Wen Dun looked at him with piercing eyes and said: "Master Gu, I know that you are the prince's teacher, you are knowledgeable, and have a great say in the court, and I hope that Mr. Gu can speak a few words for the fifth prince. Although he has It is a crime of ignorance, but he has no intention of treason, and I hope that the upper court will tolerate him and take him back to teach him a good lesson."

"Envoy Wen Dun can ask to see His Majesty. What you said is well-founded. I think His Majesty will believe you. I have always been kind to Your 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 doesn't believe me that he asked you to be a lobbyist.

Envoy Wen Dun looked at him silently.

Gu Jingyun raised his glass to signal him, pointed to the dim sum on the table with a smile, and said, "How about the envoy's dim sum in my capital? How does it compare with your royal court's dim sum?"

Wen Dun smiled and said: "Of course it is very good, but the food is better at home, after all, it has a taste of home. I am afraid that it will be difficult for the fifth prince to eat the food of the royal court again in the future."

Li Baolu interjected, "It's simple. Envoy Wen Dun will send two cooks to the fifth prince after he returns. The capital is a vast land and rich in resources, so we can definitely find the ingredients that the chefs need. If the fifth prince likes it, he can eat Wang Ting's dishes every day." make."

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

Master Li almost burst out laughing, looking at the silent envoy Wen Dun, he became sympathetic.

Wen Dun's envoy was only choked for a moment, and his face was still as gentle as usual. Seeing that Gu Jingyun was slippery, he stopped talking about the fifth prince and Heihan, and started talking with them over the refreshments on the table.

Since the fifth prince Gu Jingyun is not willing to say a word for him, let alone Heihan.

But 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 was his uncle Qin Xinfang who was negotiating peace with them now, his attitude was very important, maybe he wouldn't speak well for them, it would be indifferent and not beneficial to their negotiations.

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

So in order to avoid such a situation from happening, Gu Jingyun should try his best to make friends with them. Even if they can't live in harmony, he must not let him feel disgusted with them.
