Chapter 24: The Official Seal Arrives
If it weren't for hearing Zhao Hong's words, Xu Kang didn't expect that he would be busy all night.
However, it may be because of the magic fresh water that he drank that he didn't feel too tired, and the reason why he wanted to sleep was actually just a matter of habit.
But now it was obvious that there was no way to continue sleeping, so he could only smack his mouth a little irritably, then rolled over and got up, put on his coat and walked out of the tent.
And when he opened the curtain of the tent and walked out, he found that the sky was indeed white.
Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but sigh again: "Ma Dan, this time flies really fast, I didn't expect that I also became an immortal cultivator once who paid the most attention to health preservation." ”
Xu Kang's "Immortal Cultivation Party" actually means staying up late, but Zhao Hong doesn't know!
"Shhh...... Cultivating the Immortal Party? ”
Hearing this, he immediately gasped, and then bowed to Xu Kang with his fists.
"I didn't expect the adult to be a Taoist disciple, no wonder when the adult walked out of the camp just now, the last general saw a burst of white smoke coming to his face, and the smell made me feel uplifted, it turned out to be a fairy breath, thank you for your gift!"
“???”
White? Fairy breath? What's that?
Hearing Zhao Hong's words, Xu Kang was stunned for a moment, and then reacted.
"The white smoke he said should be the white smoke I just burned the leftovers of the magic water bag myself!"
Although there is no way to compare it with drinking magic fresh water directly, the white smoke produced after the burning of the magic water bag does have a certain effect of restoring the spirit, plus the appearance is really good, no wonder Zhao Hong will treat it as immortal.
And if it takes a few more minutes, all these white smoke will disperse, and Zhao Hong can be said to have made a coincidence.
Thinking of this, Xu Kang suddenly wanted to laugh, but he finally held back, just smiled and nodded at Zhao Hong.
"Well, Xie needless to say, it's your luck that you can meet it, okay, you go with me first to see what's going on with the eunuch outside the camp gate!"
"Yes, sir!"
Hearing Xu Kang's personal admission, a trace of excitement flashed on Zhao Hong's face again, and he quickly nodded, and then followed him to the outside of the camp gate.
As soon as he left the camp gate, a familiar face suddenly met Xu Kang's eyes - wasn't that the old eunuch he met when he went to Xiyuan to buy an official?
Seeing this old eunuch, Xu Kang immediately understood his intention, and immediately greeted him with a smile.
"It turned out to be His Excellency the eunuch of the West Garden, and it was really fortunate that he came here early in the morning, and he wasn't even in a hurry to eat breakfast, right? I've got a scone here, please take it! ”
As he spoke, he made a gesture and put his hand into his arms, but in fact, he took out a piece of gold cake the size of a child's palm directly from the space backpack and stuffed it directly into the old eunuch's hand.
When the old eunuch first heard Xu Kang say that he wanted to bake cakes for him, he originally planned to refuse, but after he felt the cold touch of the golden cakes, he immediately swallowed back the refusal.
I saw him take the golden cake into his arms with a smile on his face, and then arched his hand towards Xu Kang.
"Since it is Lord Xu's reward, then our family will be disrespectful!"
After speaking, he beckoned to the little eunuch behind him.
"Bring Lord Xu's things!"
"Yes!"
Hearing his words, the little eunuch who followed behind him immediately agreed, and then stepped forward with a tray and respectfully presented it to Xu Kang.
Although the tray in his hand was large, there were not many things in it, only three things to be exact-
A black robe, a three-foot-long sheathed iron sword, and a boxy official seal.
Looking at these three things, a trace of emotion suddenly flashed in Xu Kang's eyes.
"Ma Dan, it's these three things, it cost Lao Tzu three million and five baht, the same is one million, Liu Hong, a dog profiteer, is really good at doing business!"
Although he had already scolded Emperor Han Ling as a dog in his heart, his face was full of gratitude at this time, and he arched his hand in the direction of the imperial city.
"Today I am ashamed of the emperor's grace, I will sweep away the yellow scarf on his day, and return the Han to a bright and bright man!"
After speaking, he took the tray in the hands of the eunuch in front of him with both hands.
Seeing that Xu Kang had already accepted the things, the old eunuch who sent the things said a few kind words, and then left.
After they left, Zhao Hong, who had been following Xu Kang, couldn't help but ask, "My lord, with your identity, why do you want to give benefits to the eunuchs?" ”
"Hehe, you don't understand!"
Seeing his doubtful and somewhat indignant look, Xu Kang suddenly smiled slightly, and then patiently explained to him.
"Zhao Hong, first of all, you have to understand that today's Han has been chaotic by the Ten Standing Servants, and if we want to serve the country, the only way to save the country is to save the country!"
"Curves save the country?" Hearing this unfamiliar term, a trace of confusion flashed on Zhao Hong's face, "What is a curve to save the country?" Please teach me! ”
"Hehe, that's easy to say!"
Xu Kang had just gotten the official seal and was in a very good mood, so in the face of Zhao Hong's request for advice, he patiently explained to him again.
"Qu, that is, the meaning of bending, now the eunuch is too powerful to be invincible, if it is hard, I am afraid that we will be crushed to pieces, death is not terrible, terrible is to die worthless, so we must temporarily avoid its edge, keep a useful body, and wait for the opportunity!"
"Oh, I see!"
After hearing Xu Kang's words, Zhao Hong suddenly nodded with a look of enlightenment.
"My lord, what you mean is that we will first pretend to join the Ten Standing Servants as eunuchs, and then turn against each other when the time is unfavorable to them, but won't that become a wall-to-wall grass?"
“……”
Madan, don't you understand?
Although he had already approved Zhao Hong's words in his heart, he couldn't admit it on the surface - he was a person who wanted to be a famous person, and the reputation of the grass on the wall was so ugly!
Therefore, as soon as Zhao Hong's words fell, he raised his hand and slapped him, and with a "snap", he hit Zhao Hong's iron helmet, shaking his palm painfully and numbly.
"Hemp egg, it hurts!"
But it was the moment to pretend to be forced in front of him, and it was obvious that he couldn't drop the chain, so he hurriedly hid his trembling hand behind him, and then pointed at Zhao Hong with the other hand and scolded.
"Stupid! The people in the court who don't do anything are the grass on the wall, and I'm in Cao Ying...... No, it's because the heart of the eunuch is in Han, so that the big husband can bend and stretch, do you hear it? ”
"Uh...... Heard it! Zhao Hong didn't expect Xu Kang to be so angry, so he could only respond with a wince.
But what he didn't expect was that instead of getting the desired effect, his softness was exchanged for Xu Kang's roar again.
"What? I can't hear it, give me a loud answer, do you hear me? ”
"I heard you!"
"Louder, are you a delicate little lady? Or did Lao Tzu not give you food yesterday? Answer Lao Tzu again, did you hear that? ”
"Listen! Arrive! Finish! ”
The last time, Zhao Hong almost shouted out with a roar, which shocked Xu Kang's ears.
Looking at Zhao Hong, who looked like a fried rooster, Xu Kang nodded with satisfaction, and then yelled at him.
"Marquis Zhao Hongjun, now I order you to prepare the army, start at the beginning of the hour, end at the end of the hour, and set off at the second hour of the hour, can you do it?"
"Yes!"
"Be louder, I can't hear me, can I?"
"Can !!"
