Chapter 3464 Hu Meier
After the matter was settled, it was natural to arrange for the King of Yue to rest.
Chen Bi Ri urged Li Wu Yu to stay in his manor. After all, they had already made preparations to receive the emperor and even cleaned the courtyard. However, Xia Hou Jiu sneered and said, "Master Chen has been seriously injured, and the doctor has specifically instructed you to rest. If so, wouldn't it be disturbing your rest if so many of us stayed here?"
Chen Biri frowned.
Li Wuyu nodded repeatedly. He was somewhat afraid of this old minister, perhaps because he was afraid of his nagging. After all, he was just out to have some fun on this tour of Doubei Town, and if he saw any beauties, he'd definitely take them. With this old minister around, he was afraid he'd be controlled again.
He said, "The general is right. Mr. Chen, you should rest and recover from your injuries. The general has already prepared a place for you to receive him."
Chen Biri felt like he was shooting himself in the foot and started coughing in anger.
Fortunately, he had left one of his nephews with the emperor early in the morning, just in case Xiahou Jiu alienated the relationship between the monarch and his subject when he was away. He looked up at Chen Wenxiao, who nodded slightly, indicating that it was okay.
Then Chen Bi Ri lay on the pillow, coughed and said, "Then, I, your Majesty, will be seeing you off."
The group left his manor.
Chen Wenxiong sent them out the gate, and only after the convoy disappeared at the end of the long street did he hurried back to the garden. He saw Chen Biri getting up from the bed. His movements were no longer as weak as they had been in front of Li Wu Yu and the others. After wiping his face, his complexion was not as pale, but frighteningly gloomy.
He said fiercely, "This Xiahou Jiu, sooner or later I will tear him into pieces!"
When he got excited, he started coughing again.
Chen Wenxiong hurriedly sat down next to him and patted his back to calm him down, then said, "Uncle, don't be angry. Take care of yourself."
Chen Bi Ri gritted his teeth and said, "How can I not be angry? This time, I almost lost my life and property. If this still doesn't lead to war between the two countries, then when the ties between the two countries become closer in the future, it will be even more difficult to shake Xia Hou Jiu!"
Chen Wenxiong said, "Uncle, don't worry. His Majesty has also said that we must let the Yan people give us an explanation."
"An explanation?"
Chen Bi Ri said coldly: "What's an explanation?"
“…”
"Besides, let Xiahou Jiu handle this matter. He's eager to settle the matter peacefully. No matter what answer the Yan Kingdom gives, he will urge Your Majesty to accept it. Then our efforts will be in vain."
"That's not necessarily true."
"oh?"
Chen Bi Ri turned around and looked at his nephew: "Why do you say that?"
Chen Wenxiong sneered and lowered his voice, "Uncle, don't forget, although His Majesty has handed this matter over to Xiahou Jiu, my brother is still by His Majesty's side."
Chen Bi Ri asked, "You mean?"
Chen Wenxiong said, "Uncle, think about it. We said we want an explanation, but what constitutes an explanation? It's you, uncle, who was injured. If you don't admit it, then any explanation won't count, right?"
Chen Bi Ri's eyes lit up: "That makes sense."
Chen Wenxiong said, "On the way out just now, my eldest brother and I had already discussed that no matter what explanation Yan Nation gives us, we will not give up easily. Besides, the people died at their hands. As long as we say that they sent the people to kill them, they will have no way to defend themselves. By that time-"
Chen Bi Ri asked, "What is Wen Xiao's plan?"
Chen Wenxiong said, "My brother and I mean that it would be best to facilitate a meeting between the two sides."
"meet?"
"good,"
Chen Wenxiong lowered his voice and said, "Uncle, think about it, the Emperor of Yan and the King of Yue have finally arrived here. If we don't meet them, wouldn't that be a disservice to them both?"
Chen Bi Ri suddenly understood.
He couldn't help laughing, and while laughing, he nodded repeatedly and said, "That makes sense, that makes sense."
“…”
"Wait until both sides meet—what can we do that can't be caused by a quarrel?"
Chen Wenxiong said, "That's right. So this time, as long as Big Brother makes an effort in front of His Majesty, this matter will surely come to fruition."
Chen Bi Ri smiled and nodded, saying, "It's a good thing that I left Wen Xiao with Your Majesty, otherwise, this matter would not have been so easy to accomplish."
Chen Wenxiong's eyes flickered, and he immediately said, "In short, we will get this done."
Chen Bi Ri nodded and was about to lie down to rest when he suddenly remembered something and said, "The woman who followed His Majesty today——"
Chen Wenxiong said, "That beauty is Hu Meir. She was sent from Yan State last year. Xiahou Jiu introduced her to Your Majesty. This woman is very resourceful. After she came to Your Majesty's side, all those who had previously enjoyed favor fell out of favor. Your Majesty even took her with him on tours."
"Was it Xiahou Jiu who recommended him?"
Chen Bi Ri couldn't help but frowned and said, "Then what did she do just now——"
Although things didn't go as planned, fortunately, it was Hu Mei'er's suggestion of "explanation" that made it possible for their plan to continue. Since this woman was introduced by Xiahou Jiu and sent from Yan State, why would she help them?
Chen Wenxiong said, "I think he is just a brainless person, fooling around in front of His Majesty."
Chen Bi Ri thought for a moment and said, "We still need to be careful. At this time, we must be aware of every detail of His Majesty's situation. Big things are often ruined by small things."
Chen Wenxiong said, "I understand. Big Brother will pay attention to this matter."
Chen Biri nodded. After being tired for half a day, he felt a little exhausted, so he lay down to rest.
On the other side, Li Wu Yu's carriage arrived at another manor, which was the place Xiahou Jiu had prepared long ago to welcome the emperor. It was located in the downtown area and was well connected, but people had made preparations in advance and no pedestrians were allowed to pass around. Li Wu Yu and his men went in happily.
After settling down for a while, Xiahou Jiu was ready to complete the task assigned by Li Wu Yu and ask the people of Yan for an "explanation".
But he did not go out immediately, but walked to a corridor.
After a while, a graceful figure walked over. It was none other than Hu Meir, who served Li Wuyou.
Li Wuyu couldn't leave her alone for a moment. He had just settled in. She coaxed him for half a day, and only when Li Wuyu lay down to rest did she have time to spare. As she walked up the corridor, she saw Xiahou Jiu looking at her with an unhappy expression. He smiled and saluted, "General."
Xiahou Jiu said in a deep voice: "What did you mean just now?"
