After Du Qi left the palace, he didn't go straight home, but took a carriage to the tea shop, and called for Jin Wuque and Qian Zailai. Qianxue and Cai Youde were also there, and Du Qi's team had all arrived.
Facing the crowd, Du Qi said slowly: "I have just been summoned by His Majesty to serve as an envoy to the northern Turks. I will not be in Chang'an for quite a long time in the future."
"During my absence in Chang'an, you each preside over your own affairs, and you don't need to report."
"If you encounter something difficult to solve, go directly to the Chang'an County Government to ask Wang Minzhi for help. His Majesty personally issued an order to Wang Minzhi to help you deal with the matter."
Du Qi said seriously: "So once you encounter something, he is duty-bound to help."
But Qianxue said worriedly: "Young Master, the Turkic people are cruel and often invade the border. It must be very dangerous for you to go as an envoy now. At this age, you are not suitable to be an envoy. How can you go?"
Du Qidao: "There is no other way, I have to go. His Majesty has ordered me to serve as deputy envoy. Under such a premise, it is impossible to refuse."
When Qianxue heard the words, she was saddened.
In her heart, she was worried about Du Qi's safety.
Qianxue thought for a while, then suddenly said: "Young Master, I will accompany you. When I go to Turkic in the north, I will take care of your daily life. After all, in today's tea shop, there is shopkeeper Cai, even if there is no me, there is no problem."
"Don't!"
When Du Qi heard this, he couldn't help laughing.
Qianxue takes care of his daily life?
Don't wait until the end, he simply takes care of Qianxue's daily life. What's more, going deep into the Turks in the north, Qianxue is even more inappropriate as a woman.
Du Qidao: "You stay in Chang'an and take care of the tea shop."
Qian Xue said: "Does the young master despise me?"
Du Qi didn't answer this matter at all, and said directly: "In short, you stay in Chang'an. There is no room for negotiation on this matter, so it's settled, you know?"
"yes!"
Qian Xue heard the words and said no more.
Cai Youde is neither indecisive nor sentimental. Since what was set, he knew he couldn't change it, so he said: "Don't worry, my lord, I will help Miss Qianxue well."
Jin Wuque said: "My lord, I will handle the restaurant well, and I won't let you down."
When the money came again, he frowned.
Tea shops and restaurants are easy to manage, but today's Xinhua Wenxuan is supported by Du Qi alone. Once Du Qi leaves, then this Xinhua Wenxuan will definitely be greatly affected.
Qian Zailai said worriedly: "Young master, you are going to go on a mission now. What should you do with the bookstore's Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Romance of the Gods?"
Du Qi chuckled, and said, "Whether it's the Romance of the Three Kingdoms or the Romance of the Gods, I have enough saved manuscripts. According to the current update speed, the saved manuscripts are at least enough for one or two months. Later, you follow me Go get the latest chapter."
"yes!"
When Qian came back to hear the words, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
With Du Qi, he can rest assured that as long as the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the Romance of the Gods can be updated for a month or two, then even if it is temporarily stopped, the impact will not be great.
After all, during this period of time, Qian Zailai has been digging for good books. As long as there are other books on top, even if it is not as good as Du Qi's two books, the impact will not be too great.
Du Qi arranged other things, and after talking about the restaurant, tea shop, and bookstore, he got up and left the tea shop, and went to Du's house. After all, the mission is very important, so I have to report it to my mother, Mrs. Zheng.
He was very worried about Zheng's reaction.
As soon as Du Qi returned to Du's house, he went straight to Zheng's backyard. Mrs. Zheng is currently getting the soles of the shoes, which are specially made for Du Qi and his brothers. When she saw Du Qi coming, she smiled and said quickly: "Erlang is here, come, come, you are just in time, hurry up and have a try." Are these soles suitable?"
Du Qi tried the sole of the shoe, which was about the same size and just right.
After Zheng Shi took it, she nodded in satisfaction and said, "It's just right, it seems that my mother remembered correctly."
Du Qidao: "Mother, you leave these things to the people in the family to do, why do you have to do it yourself?"
Mrs. Zheng snorted, and said: "How can you give your shoes to others? I make the best ones myself. These shoes are durable. Especially your father, he goes here and there all day long, and often follows the King of Qin On the battlefield, shoes wear out quickly."
Du Qi is listening, his nose is a littleSour.
Their father and son are all people that Mrs. Zheng cares about. But now, he was ordered to go on a mission, and for a while, he didn't know how to say it. If he was already in his twenties and thirties, as an official of the Tang Dynasty, it would make sense for him to go on an envoy to Turks.
Today's Du Qi is too young, and the Zheng family must not be able to accept it.
It was difficult for Du Qi to speak.
Seeing that Du Qi has been silent all the time, Mrs. Zheng is a little strange. In the past, when Du Qi came to the backyard, he would talk non-stop, but today, he didn't say anything.
Mrs. Zheng put down her needle and thread, and said, "Erlang, did something happen to you? If you encounter a difficult problem, just tell your mother, and your mother will help you solve it."
Du Qidao: "Mother, Your Majesty summoned me to serve as an envoy to the Eastern Turks in the north."
"ah!"
When Zheng Shi heard it, she exclaimed.
After she froze for a moment, she only felt that there was darkness in front of her eyes, and her body was about to collapse on the ground.
Du Qi had quick eyesight and quick hands, he stepped forward at once, helped Mrs. Zheng, and quickly pinched him. After a while, Mrs. Zheng woke up slowly, choked up and said: "My son, the emperor is really blind, let you be a child of twelve or thirteen years old to be an envoy. Erlang, don't be afraid, mother will go to Qin Wangfei , let her take me into the palace. Even if you risk your life, mother will not let you go."
In Zheng's eyes, to go to Turkic as an envoy is to die.
In any case, it is not possible.
Du Qi patted Zheng Shi on the back, comforted Zheng Shi, and said: "Mother, you can't blame Your Majesty for this matter. At that time, Your Majesty asked me if I would like to go. If I said no, Your Majesty would not force it. It was me who took the initiative to say that I was willing to go.¡±
"you're so dumb!"
After hearing this, Mrs. Zheng said angrily: "Erlang, you are usually very clever. Why are you acting stupid at this moment? Have you considered your mother and your father's feelings in doing this?"
Du Qi piled up a smile and said: "Mother, my son is not young anymore, he knows what to do and what not to do. Even if the father knows about this, he will only agree. Mother, although this journey is dangerous, but In fact, the risk is not great. I am only the deputy envoy, and the envoy is Changsun Shunde. With him around, I will be safe, so you can rest assured."
"You kid, really"
After hearing this, Mrs. Zheng was still extremely worried. The mother who traveled thousands of miles was worried that Du Qi was the flesh that fell from her body, how could she not be worried, let alone the Turks who were going to the north.
These Turkic people have always been inhumane. Once you go to the territory of Turkic, it is easy to fall into danger.
Du Qidao: "Mother, my son knows the severity."
"Step! Step!"
At this time, there were footsteps, but it was the housekeeper who hurried in. The butler came to Zheng's side and said, "Mistress, there is news from the front line that the master has sent back."
After finishing speaking, the housekeeper handed over a letter.
Mrs. Zheng took it over to check it out. After reading it, she waved her hand to let the butler back down, then looked at Du Qi, and said, "Erlang, your father sent a letter saying that the frontline war has subsided, and the forces of Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong have been destroyed. Now, the frontline The battle has begun to end, and it is estimated that the army will return to the court at the latest next month."
After a pause, Mrs. Zheng continued: "Listen to your mother, delay the mission. We will make arrangements after your father and King Qin come back. At that time, we will see what your father and King Qin say."
Du Qi laughed when he heard that.
His mother, no matter what, did not want him to go on a mission, worrying about his safety. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
