After chatting for a while, everyone left the soul space one after another.

Joy of Life World.

Go back a little bit in time.

After defeating Ku He and Ye Liuyun, the delegation continued on their journey.

The next day, they entered the territory of Northern Qi.

After entering Northern Qi, we soon arrived at the first city on the border of Northern Qi.

At this moment, a group of officials from the Honglu Temple of Northern Qi had been waiting for a long time at the foot of the city.

However, the leader was not from the Ministry of Rites.

He was a thin man with a mustache and wearing plain clothes.

After seeing the Nanqing team, this person immediately stepped forward.

"May I ask who is Fan Xian, the Immortal Poet of the Southern Dynasties, Mr. Fan?"

Wang Qinian immediately took a step forward, pointed at Fan Xian standing next to him, and said.

"This is my Daqing Zhengyilingqi Siqi Wuliu Envoy, Fan Xian, Master Fan."

The mustache man immediately shook Fan Xian's hand excitedly: "Fan Shixian!"

Fan Xian asked, "My name is Fan Xian, and who are you?"

The man with the mustache said, "I've heard of your name for a long time and have admired you greatly. Now that I've met you, I'm sure you're a very handsome man. My name is Shen Zhong, so just ask for your name."

Fan Xian suddenly realized: "Oh, Lord Shen, the Jinyiwei Pacification Envoy!"

Shen Zhong smiled and said, "That's me. I didn't expect Lord Fan had even heard of my name."

Fan Xian also laughed and said, "Ah, I've heard of Lord Shen's great name for a long time, like thunder in my ears."

"Nice to meet you!"

"I've heard so much about you!"

The two of them started to flatter each other.

Then Fan Xian said to Wang Qinian and Gao Da.

"You two, go and take care of the handover matters first."

Wang Qinian and the other man nodded, then turned and left.

At this time, Shen Zhong whispered, "Master Fan, where is Grandmaster Lu? I would like to see him."

The Grandmaster's status is comparable to that of an emperor, so he naturally has to be careful in his dealings.

If a Grandmaster accidentally gets too hot and gets upset, even if he dies, no one will probably complain about his wrongdoing.

But just as Fan Xian was about to speak, several maids in red palace robes came forward and asked directly.

"Where's Miss Si?"

As soon as these words came out, both Fan Xian and Shen Zhong's expressions changed at the same time.

When Northern Qi proposed exchanging Si Lili, they only knew that Si Lili had been arrested by the Inspection Office and had no idea that she had become Fan Xian's man.

This news gradually spread after the peace talks between the two countries concluded.

As the Jinyiwei's pacification envoy, Shen Zhong had been worried about the handover since he heard the news.

Especially when word spread from Nanqing that Lu Xiao, the newly promoted Grandmaster of Nanqing, would be accompanying Si Lili to Northern Qi, his hair wrinkled even more and turned a lot whiter.

On one side was the face of the Northern Qi emperor, and on the other side was the face of the Grand Master.

Both of them are not easy to offend.

Although Shen Zhong was the Empress Dowager's man in Northern Qi, as a Northern Qi official, it was his duty to protect the emperor's reputation.

Whether Shen Zhong is good or bad is not the point, but it is absolutely undeniable that he is a loyal minister.

So at this moment, he could only bite the bullet and ask.

"Master Fan, could you please allow us to meet Miss Si Lili and Master Lu first?"

This problem must be brought to light as soon as possible, otherwise it will only become more and more troublesome.

Fan Xian still had a troubled expression on his face.

Fortunately, at this moment, Lu Xiao's voice appeared.

"Bring them here."

As the voice rang out, Shen Zhong and several maids looked over at the same time.

Then he focused his attention on a carriage in the middle of the delegation.

Fan Xian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he raised his hand to signal Shen Zhong and the others.

"Master Shen, please."

So Shen Zhong brought a few maids to Lu Xiao's carriage.

Lingtou's mother was the first to speak.

"Where is Miss Si? I, under the order of His Majesty, am here to escort Miss Si to the capital. Please move."

As the words fell, the carriage curtain was lifted.

Then one person jumped down.

After seeing this person, several maids and Shen Zhong were stunned at the same time, and then subconsciously shouted.

"The Saint of Haitang is dead!"

Chapter 374 Handover

Seeing Haitang Duoduo suddenly appear, everyone on the Northern Qi side was filled with shock.

Haitang Duoduo said lazily, "Yes, it's me. Madams, please go back. You don't have to worry about Si Lili's affairs. I'll take her back to Shangjing."

Even though she had only been with Lu Xiao for one day, she had eaten a lot of dog food that day.

It was obvious long ago that Si Lili was completely in love with Lu Xiao.

After witnessing Lu Xiao's strength, she didn't think Northern Qi had any hope of snatching him away from him.

Therefore, in order to avoid further conflict between the two sides, she took the initiative to stand up.

When the leading nanny heard this, she immediately showed reluctance on her face.

"Saint, this is the will of His Majesty, I..."

"Okay, I understand. I will personally explain to His Majesty. No need to say more."

Haitang Duoduo was still very prestigious in Northern Qi.

With such a resolute tone, the leading nun "May 17" finally had no choice but to agree.

"Okay, then I will report the truth to His Majesty and the Queen Mother when I return."

That is, the person she was facing was Haitang Duoduo, otherwise, she would never let it go so easily.

After the leading nanny left angrily, Shen Zhong asked.

"Saint Haitang? How come you are in the Nanqing delegation?"

Haitang said angrily, "What else could it be? My master came to fight that guy inside yesterday, but he lost. Now I'm his maid, not a saint anymore."

Whenever she thought of this incident, she became furious.

When Shen Zhong heard the news, his expression changed immediately.

"W-what?"

The reason why Ku He and Ye Liuyun came to kill Lu Xiao was a huge secret.

Even Shen Zhong didn't know.

Haitang Duoduo said again, "My master lost miserably. Master Shen, please make your own decision."

This time, Shen Zhong was finally sure that Haitang Duoduo was not joking.

Cold sweat had begun to form on his forehead.

It seems that the strength of Nan Qing, the newly promoted Grandmaster, is much stronger than he imagined.

Then he hurriedly said, "Thank you for the reminder, Saint."

After he finished speaking, he immediately saluted towards the carriage.

"Your humble servant Shen Zhong pays homage to the Grand Master!"

Lu Xiao in the carriage responded softly: "Yes."

Nowadays, a guy like Shen Zhong is no longer worth Lu Xiao's attention.

Being able to handle him is good enough.

After seeing Lu Xiao being so arrogant, Shen Zhong was not angry at all, but instead felt that it was natural.

Even if he was in a high position and had great power, compared to the Grand Master, he was still nothing.

The people in the Northern Qi court knew more about the Grand Master than those in the Southern Qing court.

After all, when the Empress Dowager and the young Emperor of Northern Qi were surrounded by rebels in the palace, it was Ku He who appeared in time and single-handedly repelled tens of thousands of rebels with a single word, sealing the fate of the Northern Qi throne.

Therefore, all the elders in the Northern Qi court had witnessed the might of the Grand Master.

So relatively speaking, they naturally know how to respect the Grand Master better.

In Shen Zhong's opinion, Lu Xiao's response was a great honor.

At this time, Wang Qinian and Gaoda came over with Sean and the peace negotiation handover documents.

Sean suffered no ill-treatment along the way.

At this moment, he was dressed very cleanly, without any shackles or anything.

He looks like an ordinary old man.

However, he had a very safe journey and nothing happened along the way.

Pretty sensible though.

Shen Zhong was slightly surprised to see how well Sean was taken care of.

But he still took two steps forward and saluted Sean.

"Master Sean."

Sean asked, "Who are you?"

Shen Zhong introduced himself again.

After hearing his name, Sean immediately said, "I don't know him."

Shen Zhong laughed and said, "Hahaha, yes, yes, when Lord Xiao was dominating the two countries, I was not even in his league. Lord Xiao's reputation is far-reaching, and I finally got to meet him today. I can't help but feel excited."

Then he turned to Fan Xian and said, "Master Fan, will we escort Master Xiao?"

Fan Xian nodded. "Of course."

According to the rules of the negotiation.

When Nanqing enters Northern Qi, they must first hand over Xiao En and Si Lili to Northern Qi intact.

After that, when we arrived in Shangjing City, we could pick up Yan Bingyun.

But he hadn't gotten Si Lili just now, so Shen Zhong wasn't too sure about getting Sean.

Because he really couldn't figure out Lu Xiao's temper.

If Lu Xiao really refused to hand over the person, he would be completely helpless.

Fortunately, Lu Xiao didn't care about Sean.

He was not given any trouble on the way because of Zhuang Mohan's consideration.

Now that it has been delivered intact to Northern Qi, that's the end of it.
