"A certain Qianniu prepares Xu Qilin, and there is an urgent matter to face Your Majesty."

Before Xu Qilin arrived at the south gate, he was stopped by the guards on the periphery, his green Huadian embroidered clothes played a role at this time, and those guards were not too rude.

It's just that the guards on the periphery of this team didn't know Xu Qilin. Of course, looking at the age, the official uniform, and the conditions for Qianniu's preparation, I also know that this young man is not an ordinary person.

A small officer arched his hand and said politely: "The palace gate has been locked, Your Majesty may have rested, you see ......"

Generally speaking, the palace or palace is more heavily guarded and managed at night, and there is a system of locking the door, that is, the key.

During the day, the guards can check the waist tags carried by the people entering and leaving the palace gate. At night, each palace gate is equipped with a corresponding general, who holds the key to the palace gate. When the gate was closed, the generals locked the palace gate and handed over the keys to the chief of the department.

The chief of the keys is the official in charge of all the palace door keys, and after obtaining all the palace door keys, he also has to check whether the lock and key of each palace gate correspond.

Xu Qilin was anxious, but he also knew that he couldn't embarrass his family, so he said: "Please report, Your Majesty will give an explanation to a certain person when he is lucky, and the matter will be completed immediately, without the slightest delay." A certain gallop did not stop day and night, because he was afraid that His Majesty would be responsible. ”

After a pause, he took out his waist card and handed it over, adding: "This is a gift from His Majesty, that is, to make a certain person enter the palace smoothly." ”

The junior officer checked the waist card and believed what Xu Qilin said. Because this waist card is not something that anyone can carry, even if it is a palace guard, it must be returned when it is not on duty.

"Please wait until so-and-so reports." The little officer didn't dare to slack off at this moment, turned around and ran towards the palace gate, explained the situation to the guards on the palace wall, and hung it with a basket with a waist card.

Not to mention that Xu Qilin was waiting anxiously outside, not to mention that the guards in the palace passed the report layer by layer, until he reached the palace of His Majesty Li Er.

At this time, His Majesty Li Er had not rested. Although he was fortunate to go out on patrol, Chang'an City had a prince supervising the country, but many major events and news still had to be sent from the capital every day, and he managed the empire remotely.

Hearing the report, His Majesty Li Er was stunned at that time. Asking to see you late at night is unusual. And Qianniu is prepared, that is already Xu Qilin's previous position, why don't you report as a big Yingkucheng?

A thousand cows are ready for it?! His Majesty Li Er thought of the duties of this official, and seemed to have an understanding, and immediately ordered the guards to go to the palace gate and bring Xu Qilin. At the same time, His Majesty Li Er ordered the guards to strengthen the security in the palace in case of accidents.

Besides, Xu Qilin, the waiting time is not too long, but he feels that life is like a year, and every minute and second is so difficult.

Finally there was an echo, Xu Qilin hurried to the palace gate, and a big bamboo basket had fallen to the ground waiting for him. You can enter the palace at night, but only in this way, not to open the palace door.

Well, take the back to the earth elevator. Xu Qilin ordered Wu Xiang to wait here, he jumped into the bamboo basket, and the guards above saw it, pulled the rope hard, and lifted the bamboo basket up.

When he arrived at the city, Xu Qilin was about to climb out of the bamboo basket, when a big hand reached out to help him, and a familiar voice sounded in his ears, "Xu Cheng, slow down, pay attention to your step." ”

Xu Qilin landed on his feet, looked up, and under the illumination of the lampball torch, a familiar face appeared in front of him.

"Ha, it's Brother Wang!" Xu Qilin was overjoyed and shouted with a smile.

Wang Fangyi smiled, and also felt that there must be something strange about Xu Qilin coming to see His Majesty with a thousand cows. But he was a steady person, and he didn't ask face-to-face, so he stretched out his hand and asked, "Xu Cheng, please go this way." ”

Finally seeing someone he knew, Xu Qilin's heart suddenly relaxed. Wang Fangyi must be trustworthy, he was afraid of encountering something inside, so he secretly stabbed him. Therefore, I didn't dare to tell the truth to those guards.

As soon as I felt relaxed, I felt that the pain in my inner thighs was getting worse and worse. When Xu Qilin saw His Majesty Li Er with strange steps, Li Dong looked up and down, very surprised.

Seeing that the ceremony was over, Xu Qilin first glanced around, and this suspicious look made His Majesty Li Er's heart hang again.

"If the security here is not tight, there is no safe place in the world!" His Majesty Li Er said in a deep voice: "If there is anything urgent, just say it. ”

Xu Qilin didn't talk nonsense, and came to His Majesty Li Er to tell the story he had made up.

"This Ashid blackman secretly left a note by selling wool, saying that Holohu was going to gather a crowd to assassinate me?" His Majesty Li Er's eyes narrowed and asked, "And then?" ”

"When Weichen saw the note, for the sake of safety, he wanted to go to the government to denounce and investigate this He Luohu." Xu Qilin said: "But before I thought about it, the Aster Heiwu was killed in a blink of an eye and buried in the woods not too far from the workshop outside the city." ”

His Majesty Li Er's eyes immediately widened, and after a little thought, he added in his mind: "Could it be that he was noticed by his accomplices and killed?" ”

Xu Qilin immediately said: "Yes, Weichen also thinks so. The investigation was too late, so he galloped on horseback, sleepless day and night, and rushed to report the news. Even a false alarm is better than in case something happens. ”

His Majesty Li Er bowed his head slightly, his eyes squinted slightly and pondered for a long time, clapped his hands, summoned Li Junxian, the general of Zuo Wuwei, and asked, "He Luohu is on duty tonight?" ”

Li Junxian bowed down and replied: "He Luohu belongs to Zhonglang and is under the command of Ashina Dushe, and he will be stationed at the North Palace Gate tonight. ”

"Ashina Du She's rate?!" His Majesty Li Er's heart couldn't help but burst.

Xu Qilin added beside him: "Your Majesty, you are a Turk again, and you are still a Zhonglang general, maybe there is also collusion." ”

His Majesty Li Er was silent, and he was also suspicious in his heart, and said to Li Junxian: "This is Xu Qilin, the Great Ying Library, who heard that He Luohu was going to gather people to assassinate him in the capital, so he rushed to report the news in the starry night. This is not true, what do you think should be done? ”

Li Junxian was taken aback, assassinating the king and killing him, this is a big deal. Even if it's fake, treat it as if it's true. Otherwise, once something happens, he, the general of Zuo Wuwei, will also be blamed.

"Wechen will strengthen the vigilance and defense in the palace city, and send troops to monitor the Turkic guards." Li Junxian bowed down and replied, "Send someone to summon Luo Hu into the palace and inquire in person." ”

"Be prepared, don't disturb the King of Jin and the princess, as well as the nobles of the harem." His Majesty Li Er said: "Beware of the Heluo Hurd dog jumping over the wall in a hurry and resisting the will and plotting rebellion. ”

Li Junxian bowed down again, strode out of the palace, began the strict arrangement, and launched the action.

Hearing the sound outside, Xu Qilin looked at the entrance of the palace with curiosity, and saw that there were many guards outside the palace, and another cordon was arranged outside the palace with the kind of lacquer to ward off evil beasts.

Seeing that Li Junxian was standing at the gate of the palace to command, Xu Qilin leaned over and said, "General, Xu Chongrong is there, please also send more people to protect the safety!" ”

Li Junxian nodded and said with a smile: "Xu Cheng don't worry, there are arrangements everywhere, fill the mother's place, and send more guards." ”

"Thank you, General." Xu Qilin bowed down to thank him, and said that his guards were still outside the palace, and asked Li Junxian to send someone to bring him before he returned to the palace.

That should be foolproof, right? Xu Qilin walked to the stool and sat down, and said to His Majesty Li Er with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, can you summon the imperial doctor to come and apply some medicine to Weichen's leg?" It's all grinding out of the legs. ”

His Majesty Li Er had already seen Xu Qilin's strange appearance, and when he heard what he said, he immediately understood, and couldn't help but snort, "When will the thin skin and tender meat become strong?" This tempering, in my opinion, is good. ”

"This-" Xu Qilin didn't feel ashamed, he pretended to think about it, and said with a smile: "There will be another three or five years, Your Majesty can wait and see." ”

His Majesty Li Er rolled his eyes, waved his hand and ordered the palace people to pass the imperial doctor and bring the wound medicine.

Xu Qilin sat on the stool, his heart was stable, he felt thirsty and hungry, took the tea handed by the palace man and drank a few sips, and motioned to the palace man to bring the dim sum on the table next to him and eat it in a big gulp.

His Majesty Li Er snorted slightly, and his heart was also moved. This young man, when he heard the news of the assassination, came in the starry night, whether it was true or not, but he really suffered a little, which shows the heart of loyalty.

Or, he is also worried about his sister's safety. But this is nothing, Sister Ah is always closer to herself, human nature.

"Eat slowly." His Majesty Li Er's tone softened, and asked the palace people to bring the snacks on his table, and said, "You can put some sugar in the tea, but it is boiled by Zhongtianzhu." ”

Xu Qilin thanked him and took a closer look, the sugar was whiter than the color he bought on the market, but compared with the white sugar of later generations, it was far from it.

Sugar tea?! Do you know the tea ceremony, how can there be such a way to drink? Even if you add sugar, you have to be black tea to get the right way!

"When the Western Regions are pacified, I intend to send an envoy to Zhongtianzhu to get the sugar boiling method." His Majesty Li Er said casually while reading the folds: "If it is successful, it will be the cane of Zhaoyangzhou, and it will be like a medicine." ”

Zhongtianzhu should be India, right? Xu Qilin scratched his head, thinking that this sugar was also average, did he still need to send someone to study abroad?

"Your Majesty, this sugar is also white." Xu Qilin tasted it and said, "However, since it was transported thousands of miles from Zhongtianzhu, it must be very expensive, right?" ”

"That's nature." His Majesty Li Er raised his head and said, "I'm afraid this kind of sugar is rare on the market, and it's not surprising that you don't know its value." ”

Xu Qilin really didn't know, he thought that sugar was sweet enough. Moreover, he doesn't like sweets, so he needs to put some sugar when making braised pork, which is a beautiful reaction.

Therefore, he has only seen the sugar bought by the cook in the kitchen, and he thinks that the color is darker, it should be brown sugar or brown sugar, and there is no inconvenience in using it.

However, the development of sugar in history is not the same, in order to make the color of sugar whiter and whiter, Chinese and foreign sugar craftsmen have carried out hundreds of years of research and attempts.

Eat the same, what do you say you are the color of sugar? This may be in response to the words of the sage: "You don't get tired of eating, and you don't get tired of being fine." ”

is a lazy person like Xu Qilin, not also pursuing the deliciousness of food and the pursuit of beautiful enjoyment, but he didn't think too much about it, he thought too deeply.

I don't know how much this sugar is worth, and if I go back to do market research, it may be a mountain of gold!

Xu Qilin seemed to have a smile on his face, as if he saw the gold and silver wealth that sparkled his eyes.

His Majesty Li Er squinted at Xu Qilin, feeling that this kid didn't know what way to make money, and he actually showed such a look of being a wealth obsesser.

Xu Qilin noticed the way His Majesty Li Er looked at him, smiled hehe, and didn't say much. When he gets the sugar out, it will definitely make His Majesty Li Er's jaw drop.

And the boiling and decolorization of sugar is not a problem, Xu Qilin thinks that there should be it in "Heavenly Creation".

Even if he didn't, with his chemistry expertise, he could figure out a solution. Even if it is not as good as the white sugar of later generations, it is better than the broken sugar of Tianzhu in this Zhongzhong, and it is very certain.

Well, when the time comes, it will not be imported from India, but it will be sold back to earn real money!

By the way, white sugar and rock candy alone are not considered to maximize the benefits, and then make some fruit candy, milk candy, and soft candy, which children love to eat, and it is not a problem to sell them for a large price.

"What has changed since I left the capital?" His Majesty Li Er suddenly asked thoughtlessly.

Xu Qilin was stunned for a moment, and when he looked up, he found that His Majesty Li Er was looking down at the recital, as if he was saying it casually.

What's changed? It's freer! If there is anything else, there is no tiger in the mountains, the monkey is the overlord, and the crown prince Li Chengqian continues to do it!

But these are not easy to say, Xu Qilin said perfunctorily: "Weichen didn't see much change, Your Majesty can go to Jiucheng Palace for summer vacation with peace of mind." ”

"You can't be lazy." His Majesty Li Er glanced up at Xu Qilin, pursed the corners of his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to laugh, but he quickly disappeared, and said solemnly: "Send someone to report the progress of the work at any time, and there must be no perfunctory delay." ”

"Yes, yes, Weichen should be diligent." Xu Qilin bowed his hand and had a very good attitude, but he thought in his heart: Then it depends on whether you are stingy or not!

At this moment, the imperial physician arrived and waited outside the palace for summons. Xu Qilin hurriedly got up and retired, and after getting permission, he went to the imperial doctor to apply the wound medicine.

The imperial medicine's wound medicine is naturally exquisite in materials and has a very good curative effect, and after applying it, Xu Qilin felt that the hot pain was greatly reduced.

Xu Qilin simply asked the imperial doctor for a bottle of wound medicine to carry with him, and asked the family to write out the prescription with a shy face.

The imperial doctor also knew that this young man's identity was unusual, and he was not worried that this prescription would be leaked and ruin his own job, so he happily complied with everything.

It was also at this time that His Majesty Li Er in the palace received a reward from Li Junxian, and He Luohu fell off his horse today and injured his leg, and he could not enter the palace for the time being.

This excuse is mostly fake. His Majesty Li Er sneered twice, and ordered Li Junxian to pass on the word again, and carried He Luohu into the palace on a stretcher.

At the same time, he also ordered Li Junxian to mobilize the guards outside the palace and outflank the north gate. If He Luohu dared to disobey his orders, or if there was any change in his actions, he would be hunted down immediately.

This side is about to start, but the Du Shelu and He Luohu gang have already fallen apart and are in chaos without a fight.
