Chapter 129: Moon Appreciation
Chapter 129: Moon-Watching
Wine is an aphrodisiac, and injury is ambiguous.
This kind of truth, which most men in later generations understand, is naturally not popularized in this era when the concept of the status of men and women has not yet been established.
Zhou Hong'er cried heartbroken, and although the ink wolf was also worried, he didn't know how to comfort him.
In the end, Qiu He passed by and secretly gave him a trick.
The ink wolf handed Zhou Hong'er a handkerchief, and after comforting her lamely, he found an excuse to leave his seat and went to a remote corner on the second floor of the main hall, but with a good view.
Qiu He was lying lazily on the blanket, just enough to have an unobstructed view of the situation in the hall.
The expressions of everyone in the hall could not escape his eyes.
Qiu He had fruit wine and various soy snacks in front of him, and when he saw the ink wolf coming, he hooked the corners of his mouth, "How is the effect?" β
"I told her what you taught me, but she didn't seem to react except crying, and she didn't want to do anything?" The ink wolf sat beside Qiu He and asked with a frown.
"Zhou Hong'er is not an ordinary vulgar girl, although she looks as obsessed as those Baidi women, but she is too shrewd, she is really from the Central Plains inheritance, and Zhou Kuan has favored her since she was a child, and she is quite proficient in poetry, books and etiquette, but her temperament is weak, don't look at her crying now, but in fact, she has already planned in her heart." Qiu He smiled and let the salt water bean into his mouth, "If Brother Wolf really marries her in the future, remember, don't ask her about major matters." β
Mo Wolf raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Zhou Hong'er who was blowing his nose with a handkerchief in the distance, and smiled with a foolish face, "If you really marry her, how can you be willing to let her take care of things?" Just teach your children well. β
"Brother Wolf." Qiu He smiled and arched his hand, "But for the time being, you have to rely on her to control the Zhou family, and about the Zhou family's affairs, you'd better not interfere." β
"Speaking of this, I don't understand why the emperor has set so many rules in advance." The ink wolf came back to his senses and scratched his head suspiciously, "Look at these women, see a few of our brothers, all of them are like wolves seeing meat, obviously they have been empty for many years, and they can easily get started. Why all the trouble? β
"The emperor may be afraid of your brothers, and you haven't been able to get benefits after working hard." Qiu He smiled with a lewd face, "Don't underestimate these clan women, although Hu women don't value chastity, but these wives are still different, these concubines have been educated by the clan since childhood, for the clan they can guard themselves like jade, for the clan they can also loosen their clothes and untie their belts, you treat them in the same way as ordinary women, it doesn't have much effect." β
Hearing this, the ink wolf frowned and said, "I don't even sleep, how can I let them do things for the emperor?" β
"This is what the emperor wants to tell you, sleeping with them and letting them do things are two different things." Qiu He said with a smile, "How can you make them honestly obey the arrangement without physical contact, this is the task that the emperor has given to your brothers." β
The ink wolf frowned deeply, and seemed to be a little puzzled.
"I don't know the specifics, but I know that the emperor's attention to the royal army's reward is not to lead the troops to fight, to protect the king, but to share the emperor's worries." Qiu He patted the ink wolf on the shoulder, "Brother, come on." β
"So troublesome?" The ink wolf looked grim.
"Even these women can't be cleaned up, how can they fight with the emperor in the future." Qiu He said with a smile.
"Whether in bed or on the battlefield, the royal army will never embarrass the emperor." The ink wolf said with a stern face.
"These two things, the Kite Iron Cavalry and the Lan Gang Army can also do it." Qiu He sneered.
The ink wolf's expression froze, and his brows tightened.
"Let the brothers treat these women well, as an experiment arranged by the emperor." Qiu He said meaningfully.
The ink wolf frowned and looked at Qiu He, "Are you the roundworm in the emperor's stomach?" β
"How can you be honored?" Qiu He smiled and rolled his eyes: "I will only know a little more than your brothers." β
The ink wolf blinked and nodded, "Listen to you, there will be heavy thanks in the future." β
"If there is no elder brother, it is difficult for the younger brother to have this achievement, and he can get the grace of the emperor." Qiu He said with a smile.
"This kind of scene makes me want to hit you." The ink wolf swept his eyes, and Qiu He snorted coldly.
"Every word from the bottom of my heart." Qiu He chuckled and said, "Okay, she should be tired of crying, you should send her back to rest." β
"Can you leave the table so soon?" The ink wolf was startled.
"The Emperor didn't explain that he would play until tomorrow morning." Qiu He chuckled and shook his head: "You can't point to the emperor and explain everything clearly, how can he have all those efforts?" β
"But beforeβ" Ink Wolf frowned.
"I heard the monarch say that in the past, there were only 100 people in the Guzhu Country, and now the emperor and his guards are 500." Qiu He's voice changed.
The ink wolf was silent for a moment, picked up a stack of handkerchiefs on Qiu He's table, and went downstairs.
Eyes followed the ink wolf downstairs, a little drunk Qiu He looked at the other side of the hall, Mo Kui and a clan woman had a very happy relationship, unconsciously squinted his eyes, with a strange smile on the corner of his mouth, and sneered, "Do you still want the old tree to bloom?" β
............
There was a lively sound in the main hall of the palace of the king of Xucheng, echoing throughout the inner city.
Listening to these lively voices, Wang Xu felt a little ashamed, after all, it was the first time to be a pimp, and he turned his soldiers into cowherds, Wang Xu still felt guilty, although he also knew that the group of beasts in Mojia must be enjoying it.
But he still couldn't get over his conscience, so Wang Xu was ready to find something to do.
At Tu Tan's suggestion, I went down and looked at the Murong Exhaust who had made great contributions to this bloodless defeat of the city.
Murong Qian was held in solitary confinement, because Tu Tan always wanted to get a little bit of news about the Donghu royal department out of his mouth, but this kid was very hard-mouthed, and Tu Tan didn't have time to interrogate him by torture.
"Wake up, you won't starve to death if you haven't eaten for a day." Tu Tan kicked Murong Di, who was lying on the ground and pretending to be dead.
In just one day's work, after experiencing great ups and downs, seeing that the city is within reach and fleeting, this huge transformation gap is a very huge blow to a man like Murong Quan who is arrogant.
From childhood to adulthood, it was when he was calculating others, manipulating others, and being used as a pawn in the palm of his hand for the first time, which completely made him doubt his life.
The originally sharp young man grew a lot of gray hair overnight, and the decadence from the inside out made his beard look even more sloppy, and he didn't resist when he was kicked by Tu Tan, and sat down against the wall.
Wang Xu looked at the decadent Murong Exhaust, and said with a smile, "Do you want to give him something to eat first?" β
Murong Qian looked at Wang Xu through his messy hair, and said in a somewhat hoarse voice, "Central Plains people? β
"Oh? Can you speak Yayan? Wang Xu raised his eyebrows slightly.
"In other words, I was defeated by a group of Central Plains people?" Murong Qian muttered in a low voice, "Father and Master have long said that the Central Plains people are the most cunning and sinister foxes in the world, I didn't believe it originally, but now it seems that I am arrogant." β
"When it comes to insidious cunning, you are not far behind." Tu Tan grinned and sneered, "The strategy of leading the water to the east is very skillful, and there is no shortage of tricks." β
"I'm a little hungry." Murong Qian looked up at Wang Xu.
"Eat something to cushion your stomach first." Wang Xu threw the snack box to Tu Tan.
Tu Tan grabbed a handful of beans in the snack box and threw them on the ground, sneering: "The emperor rewarded you, and I am not grateful." β
Murong Qian lowered his head slightly, let his hair completely cover his face, and silently picked up the beans scattered on the ground one by one and stuffed them into his mouth.
"Preferential treatment of prisoners." Wang Xu raised his eyebrows and smiled at Tu Tan.
Tu Tan smiled, put the snack box on the ground, and sat back beside Wang Xu.
"How does this Rong Shu do it?" After Murong chewed two saltwater beans, he asked.
"Soak the mushroom for two hours, mix the brine with water, put it in the pot and stir-fry, and put the brine while stir-frying." Wang Xu replied seriously.
Murong stiffened, and raised his head in surprise, "I don't understand, what is stir-frying?" β
"I explained it to you, and you don't know." Wang Xu waved his hand, "You asked me a question, I will also ask you a question." β
Murong Qian was slightly stunned, and brushed the hair in front of his face, "Why?" β
"It's not rude to come." Wang Xu chuckled.
"Your eyes are special." Murong Qian stared at Wang Xu's eyes and said.
"Presumptuous, dare to blaspheme the emperor!" Tu Tan let out a low snort, and with a flick of the long whip in his hand, there was an extra blood mark on Murong Rong's bare shoulder.
Murong snorted and gritted his teeth and stared at Tu Tan viciously.
"Chongtong, you Donghu should have heard of it." Wang Xu said.
"Sure enough, it's a rumored anomaly." Murong Quan's expression changed greatly, and his red eyes were cloudy.
"I answered you two questions, it's time for you to answer me one." Wang Xu said with a smile.
Murong Qian turned his head to look at the bleeding mark on his shoulder, and was silent.
"Donghu also learns Yayan?" Seeing that he didn't refute, Wang Xu asked.
"There are no requirements, I learned from the master." Murong Qian replied, and then asked, "You are behind all this?" β
"Sort of, thanks to your cooperation." Wang Xu smiled: "Do you hate me?" β
"No, complaining about the heavens and others is the behavior of the weak, if you hate it, you only hate yourself for not being cautious enough, when the iron weapon appears, I should be vigilant." Murong said hatefully, "What are you going to do with me?" β
"I haven't figured it out yet." Wang Xu shook his head: "Why don't you give some opinions yourself?" β
Murong Qian was silent again when he heard this, stared at Wang Xu for a while, and said, "I want to live." β
"Yes." Wang Xu nodded without hesitation: "Is there anything else?" β
"What do you want?" Murong exhausted his eyes, and the light flickered.
"Let's think about what you can give me." Wang Xu got up and shook his head with a smile: "You owe me an answer." β
Murong Quan's face was full of surprise.
"Do it yourself." Wang Xu smiled and said to Tu Tan, "Untie the chain for him." β
Tu Tan watched Wang Xu walk out with a confused face, just now he asked and answered Murong Quan, so that he still hadn't come back to his senses.
How do you feel like the two of them are old friends who have known each other for a long time.
However, despite his doubts, he did not dare to disobey Wang Xu's orders, and untied the chain on Murong Quan's legs, "When you meet the kind-hearted emperor of our family, you are really a blessing that you have cultivated for eight lifetimes, if it fell into the hands of others, you would have been cut down with a knife." β
"You owe me a whip!" Murong rubbed his worn calves and said hatefully.
"Get out of the way." Tu Tan rolled his eyes, and slapped Murong Quan's head away angrily, "The Great Emperor just let you live, and he hasn't said how you will live." β
"I am the prince of Donghu!" Murong roared angrily.
"Even if you are the king of Donghu, it is an honor to be a dog for our emperor." Tu Tan sneered lightly, and then swaggered out of the room, leaving Murong Qian with a complicated face.
"What is the Emperor going to do with him?" Tu Tan asked in a low voice.
"I haven't thought about it, let's let him live first, maybe it will work." Wang Xu shook his head: "The moonlight is good tonight. β
Tu Tan looked up at the starry night sky with the bright moon hanging high, and nodded, "It's indeed a beautiful scenery, but the minister is too sleepy." β
"Then go to sleep, I didn't say that you would accompany me to admire the moon." Wang Xu sneered.
Tu Tan looked at Mo Lian, who came over with a cloak in his hand, and grinned, "How can the minister have this honor, the minister retired first." β
Wang Xu waved his hand and went up to the second floor to enjoy the moon.
Tu Tan yawned and walked out of the courtyard, and saw Zhai Qiu dutifully patrolling at the door, and was just about to say hello, when he suddenly found that under the moonlit night, the young lady was wearing red armor and dazzling eyes, and she was quietly guarding the other side of Zhai Qiu.
The corners of Tu Tan's mouth twitched, and he rolled his eyes and turned to walk towards the room, thinking sadly and angrily in his heart.
Even Zhai Qiu, this kid, was accompanied by someone to admire the moon late at night?
I knew that I shouldn't have gone out for a walk with the emperor just now, and if I stayed in the palace, at least there would be someone to accompany him to admire the moon!
