Chapter 147: Farce outside the palace.

There are many precedents for diplomatic procedures between two countries. Some affairs were being arranged in an orderly manner. When Fan Xian arrived at the side hall, it happened to be the time to draw the border.

The two sides argued back and forth endlessly!

Although the general framework has been determined, it is necessary to argue for the details!
Fan Xian did not understand the specific strategic geography of the border, but he knew that he could not be careless, so he handled the matter carefully.

The Northern Qi court would certainly not announce the agreement on prisoner exchange and territorial cession to the world and let the common people know about it.

But the news leaked out at some point and some irrelevant people knew about it.

When the group left the palace, the outside world had already been surrounded by countless children of royal nobles.

They are still young and have not been contaminated by the officialdom, so naturally there are many hot-blooded young men among them.

As soon as Fan Xian walked out of the door, a fist hit him in the face.

Fan Xian didn't even have time to look before a tiger guard stepped forward, slapped away his fist, and captured the man.

Looking from the side, the person who threw the fist was a boy of only ten years old. He was fat, but had a fair complexion and was dressed in fancy clothes. I guess he was a young master from some family.

With a cry of "Ouch", the young man, whose hands were tied behind his back, sat down on the ground and cried out in pain: "You damned southern barbarians, do you know who I am? Even my father has never beaten me like this!"

Fan Xian, who was about to walk forward, stopped, turned around with a smile on his face and asked, "Then I wonder which family you are from?"

"Fuck you!" The young man cursed, saying that he was the eldest son of the Chang'an Marquis's Mansion, and that you dared to treat me like this, and that this and that would definitely happen to me afterwards.
Fan Xian withdrew the hand that was about to help him and his face darkened.

Upon seeing this, the tiger guard exerted force with his hands, and with a snapping sound, the young man's arm was dislocated - it was removed!

The young man screamed and wailed, already crying bitterly. At first, he thought that this fair-skinned scholar was an attendant of the delegation, so he didn't take it seriously, thinking that he would just beat him up, but he didn't expect that he would suffer such a disaster?
Seeing that the young man had learned his lesson, Fan Xian waved his hand and the tiger guard let him go and stepped aside.

"Chang'an Marquis' Mansion?"

Wang Qinian's voice responded to Fan Xian: "He is the brother of the Queen Mother of the Northern Dynasty, the brother of the Marquis of Changning."

Fan Xian nodded, ignoring the many young masters present who were angry but suppressed by the Tiger Guards, and prepared to go to the carriage that had been prepared long ago.

"How dare you! You want to run away after beating someone up?" Someone behind him cursed angrily, "You are a southern barbarian who doesn't know etiquette. You are so vulgar. You should tie your hands and go with us to Chang'an Marquis Mansion!"

Fan Xian never paid any attention to that person, but he had a plan in mind.

He glanced meaningfully at the commander of the Imperial Guards who showed up 'in time' to maintain order, and decided to make a big fuss about the matter, so that he would have an excuse to go to the Changning Marquis' Mansion.

"Commander Wei, with so many eyes watching, I wonder how you maintain the peace of the imperial city? Although I am an outsider, I still want to report you to the Emperor of Northern Qi!"

Fan Xian looked around with contempt and chuckled, "As the chief envoy of the Qing Kingdom delegation, I have been attacked for no reason. What? Commander Wei wants to watch the delegation being attacked and have another war between the two countries?"

Fan Xian's words made Commander Wei break out in a cold sweat.

He was instructed to watch these powerful children and the Qing Kingdom delegation's face, but he didn't expect that things would develop like this in such a short time. If it was really as the envoy said, then he would become a sinner, and ten lives would not be enough to compensate.

After thinking about it, in order to escape the blame, he took it seriously and personally ordered his subordinates to separate the crowd and let Fan Xian get on the carriage. The many young men who were watching realized at this time that the person in front of them was the envoy of Qing Kingdom, but this was too arrogant! Could it be that the men of Northern Qi were afraid of the southern barbarians? Seeing that the envoy had obviously hidden back in the carriage, they cursed and swore, and sent the carriage to the gate of the imperial city.

······
"Sir, shall we go back to the inn now?"

Wang Qinian asked carefully, "He's even cursing my mother. It seems that something is not right in the adults' faces!"
Fan Xian smiled and responded: "We are not going back to the posthouse. We are going to the Changning Marquis' Mansion!"

Just when Wang Qinian thought that this person was going to call for punishment, he changed his mind and thought, this is not right! Even if he was going to call for punishment, he would go to Chang'an Marquis's Mansion. Going to Changning Marquis's Mansion must be for some important matter.

He hurriedly asked the driver to change direction, and Fan Xian's words came again.

"Gundam!"

"What's the matter, sir?"

"Find two brothers to handle this in the back!"

"What?" Gundam asked blankly.

Fan Xian stopped pretending. It was really hard to pretend to be as calm and composed as Li Ang!

"Hit me!"

I can't understand other things about Gundam, but I can totally understand this sentence!
Without giving any instructions to his subordinates, he got off the carriage with an excited look on his face, and called two tiger guards to go to the back of the carriage. They would beat anyone who opened his mouth, and relying on their status as guards of the diplomatic envoy, they could not be stopped.

There was constant noise for a while, and the scene was very lively!

Wang Qinian knew his master's temper and it was useless to persuade him at this moment.

"Your Excellency is acting so high-profile, but do you have any plans with the Changning Marquisate?"

"What?" Fan Xian raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Are you planning to tell Chen Pingping about this again?"

"You are joking!" Wang Qinian quickly shook his hands. Why did this sound so scary? If you don't allow me to ask, then don't ask. Why do you bring up the dean to scare people?
"We did have something to do at Changning Marquis' Mansion, but this time we are on a diplomatic mission to Northern Qi to represent the prestige of Qing! Although the man who just attacked was a child and his attack was a bit heavy, there is no guarantee that there is someone behind him who is instructing him and that he has evil intentions. Regardless of whether he is being used by others, this prestige must still be established."

Wang Qinian nodded after listening to Fan Xian's explanation. He felt a chill in his heart and became serious.

"That's what my lord said."

The carriage was moving slowly, and after a while Gundam turned around and returned, leaving the scene in a mess and a look of excitement on his face.

When the carriage stopped outside the Marquis of Changning's mansion, the servants who had already received the news hurriedly invited the few people into the mansion, took them to the main hall, and treated them to good tea and cakes.

······
"Why is Lord Wei so indulgent, allowing these Qing people to run rampant in our capital?" Jingzhao Prefecture Yin was almost worried about his hair turning white. This official was really not easy to be! He glanced at Commander Wei, his face full of helplessness. If nothing unexpected happened, Jingzhao Prefecture would have an accident today!
"Your Majesty's decree requires me to protect the safety of the delegation, so there can be no accidents! This is related to the war between the two countries, and I can't be indifferent!" Wei Wuji said with a wry smile: "It's just that I was burdened by human relationships and the requests of the dukes, so this farce happened! Fortunately, it is still within the controllable range, otherwise, I would lose my official hat, which is secondary. If the war between the two countries is provoked, my head will not be my own!"

The implication is that it is not one's fault.

If there is an accident, let it harm Jingzhao Prefecture.
The prefect of Jingzhao, who was known as the trash can of depression in the capital, nodded slightly, accepting this statement. Others didn't understand, but how could he not know?
This is the difficulty of being an official!
Without further embarrassment for Wei Wuji, he pretended to cheer himself up and prepared to go back to deal with the questions from various families in the capital.
