Chapter Seventy-One: The White Impermanence of the Thick and the Fine
Looking at the sumptuous meals piled up on the table in front of him, as well as the eunuch Zhang Shun who was bowing cautiously next to him, Bai Mu glanced at him, took out a pair of silver chopsticks from his arms, tried them in each dish, and found no abnormality, took a bowl and put a chopstick in each dish, and then brought the bowl to Zhang Shun and said coldly: "Eat." ”
Zhang Shun was obviously afraid of Bai Mu, took the bowl in Bai Mu's hand with trembling hands, took out a pair of chopsticks from his arms and quickly stuffed the dishes in the bowl into his mouth.
After he finished eating, Bai Mu stared at it for a long time and didn't find anything abnormal, then he turned to a guard behind him and said, "Go and invite Your Highness to dinner." ”
After a while, Jiang Chuan and Su Qin came over together.
Walking into the flower hall, Jiang Chuan glanced at Zhang Shun and a group of little eunuchs who came to salute, and waved them all down.
He wasn't used to having a group of people watching him while eating, and it was awkward.
The place to eat is in a flower hall in the second courtyard, the sky has darkened, the flower hall has been lit up, bright but not too dazzling, everything is just right.
Jiang Chuan and Su Qin sat down, and also let Bai Mu sit down to eat together.
"Lord, the last general suggested that Miss Qi and them should be taken over, these people in the palace are always worried." As soon as Bai Mu sat down, he said directly.
Jiang Chuan thought for a while, and what Bai Mu said made sense. He is not in Liaodong now, and the palace in Guangning City is also in name. Now that Liaodong has been pacified, his center of gravity will definitely be in the Guannei in the future, so he will definitely live in the capital for a long time.
Before, they left Qi Xuan and them in Liaodong because everything had not yet been determined, and it was naturally inappropriate to enter the customs with a female servant.
Now that he has entered Beijing, it can be regarded as stable. It's only fitting to take them over.
After all, the people over there are all their own descendants, and they can rest assured that they will take care of their usual diet and daily life, and they don't have to guard against someone making small moves like now.
Even if he didn't care about the emperor's face and sent all these people back arranged by the emperor, he would also have this worry about finding some people from outside.
So the last way is to take Qi Xuan and them over, and at the same time let the Black Ice Platform step up the screening of the identities of these people now, and the two-pronged approach is the most suitable way.
"Okay, you can take care of this matter, take them over as soon as possible, and leave some people over there to watch." Jiang Chuan nodded.
Bai Mu said in a deep voice: "The last general will send people to set off tomorrow." ”
The three men stopped talking and began to eat.
The cook who cooks the dishes also comes out of the imperial dining room in the palace, and the taste of the dishes is certainly not bad. However, Jiang Chuan is used to eating home-cooked food, and he always feels that something is missing when he eats these delicacies.
After reading it, he found that it was because the table was full of vegetables and soups, and there were no staple foods.
For Jiang Chuan, if there is no staple food, no matter how many dishes he eats, he will not feel full.
Looking at Jiang Chuan's lifting of the chopstick, Bai Mu, who had been by Jiang Chuan's side for a long time, moved in his heart and asked, "But the lord wants to eat pasta?" ”
Jiang Chuan smiled: "How do you know, I thought that only Bai Girl and Qi Xuan understood my tastes." If you don't eat a bowl of noodles at this meal, it always feels like you haven't eaten it. You go to the kitchen and see if the chef will make oily noodles. ”
Bai Mu said with a smile: "The last general is not only a person who can fight and kill, he has been by the lord's side for a long time, if he doesn't have this eyesight, it will be too incompetent." Finally, I will go to the kitchen to arrange it. ”
Jiang Chuan laughed and nodded at Bai Mu with chopsticks: "I heard that many people in private call you Bai impermanence, which is as terrible as the impermanence of the Netherworld. I didn't expect you to have such a careful side, it's really surprising. ”
Su Qin also smiled on the side: "General Bai Mu is rough and fine, and he has always done things steadily and carefully. ”
Bai Mu smiled at what the two said, got up and went to the kitchen to make arrangements.
After Bai Mu left, Jiang Chuan put down his chopsticks, his expression became solemn, and said to Su Qin: "Sir, you have also read the confession sent by Hei Bingtai, tell me about it." ”
Su Qin Zhengse said: "It seems that the matter is more serious than I imagined before, and the number of people involved is even more than I imagined." And according to the Assassin's confession, they were unable to strike a single blow, and they would continue to plan more assassinations. There is only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days. Either we don't do it, or if we want to do it, we will strike a thunderous blow and uproot these people in one fell swoop, and we will also take this opportunity to give the lord authority, so that these people can see the determination and means of the lord. ”
Jiang Chuan listened carefully and motioned for Su Qin to continue.
Su Qin pondered for a moment and continued: "Lord, Su Qin thinks that in order to truly establish his authority, he still needs to echo inside and outside, and continue to crit, so that the rest of those who are ready to move will know that Li Zicheng, who they want to rely on, is not vulnerable at all. Cut off their thoughts, this is the real bottom of the kettle. ”
"You mean another attack on the Rogues?" Egawa-do.
"Exactly, if the lord can send good news when he is in the capital, then the two-pronged approach will be carried out at the same time, and the prestige of the lord will be truly established." Su Qin nodded.
Jiang Chuan pondered and said: "What Mr. said is true, presumably Hu Zongxian and the others are almost in Jinan Mansion now, and the good news should be delivered in the next few days." The defenders of Jinan Mansion are already rootless trees and are not vulnerable at all. Sir, the Emperor will be in the Imperial Garden of the Imperial Palace in three days. ”
Looking at the smile on Jiang Chuan's face, Su Qin's heart moved: "Does the lord want to clean up these little people on that day?" ”
Jiang Chuan laughed and said, "What better opportunity could there be? On that day, the emperor and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty would be present. ”
Su Qin instantly understood what Jiang Chuan meant, what better chance was there than to kill chickens and make an example in front of the emperor?
"Lord, since Su Qin is the chief of the palace, then this matter will be handled by the minister, and he will definitely not disappoint the lord." Su Qin suddenly stood up and said in a deep voice.
Jiang Chuan waved his hand to signal him to sit down, and said with a smile: "This matter is supposed to be handled by Mr., and I am naturally relieved that Mr. will do things." ”
Su Qin also laughed, and the two talked about some details.
At this time, Bai Mu came, and Zhang Shun behind him was holding a mahogany plate, on which were placed two bowls of green onions, white and bright noodles, and oily noodles.
"Lord, the face is here. Try it and see if it tastes right. Although the cook can't do it, there is a maid who can, and the general will let her do it. Bai Mu said excitedly.
Jiang Chuan let out an "oh", took the bowl and picked up a chopstick and put it in his mouth, and praised it after eating: "Yes, that's the taste." You just said that this was done by a maid, what about people? ”
Bai Mu shouted outside, and a maid in a purple palace dress floated in and saluted Jiang Chuan.
Jiang Chuan saw that it was the maid named Deng Xiaojin who helped him take a bath.
