A pot of wine, plus a plate of beef, steaming hot, smells very fragrant. Zhang Rang helped pour the wine, and Liu Yuan was about to drink it, but was stopped by Zhang Rang: "The king is slow!" ”

Liu Yuan frowned and looked at him. I saw Zhang Rang pick up a small wine jue, pour it, drink it, and then take another pair of chopsticks, pick up a piece of beef and eat it. After a while, there was nothing to do, and then he said to Liu Yuan respectfully: "King, please use it!" ”

Liu Yuan couldn't help but smile when he saw Zhang Rang's performance, although this move was flattering, but this feeling was really good.

And Zhang Rang waited beside him, paying attention to Liu Yuan's expression, and naturally got the result he wanted. As an old demon who has been in the Han Palace for a long time, he has experienced how to flatter.

In the face of a powerful monarch like Liu Yuan, ordinary flattery will only disgust him, so after arriving in the summer palace, Zhang Rang has always been cautious in his words and deeds. After staying for a long time, he slowly figured out Liu Yuan's habits and temper, and naturally showed his "carefulness and loyalty" like this, even if Liu Yuan knew it in his heart, Zhang Rang would not arouse Liu Yuan's disgust. In fact, it is.

After a few drinks, while playing with the exquisite workmanship, while looking out the window at the lively streets of Dongshi. People come and go, almost no interruption, for a while, there is a bit of a trance.

After staying for more than half an hour, Liu Yuan also had some visual fatigue. However, there was one man who piqued his interest, a city guard officer, a little far away, and his face was not very clear, but he should have been very young.

Liu Yuan noticed that in half an hour, he took people through four times, and the time was just right, up and down a quarter of an hour at a time. Compared with the city guards who have bullied and dominated the market before, they and their subordinates are meticulous.

Wu Qi, Wu Yue's eldest son, is ten or six years old. As the name suggests, it is the new generation of Qilin'er of the Wu family, and it is highly valued by Wuyue. Before Wuyue went to Yinshan to serve as the governor, he sought a position as a team leader in the city guards, and he had the mind to sharpen him.

The first team of men, with no more than 50 men, was very unaccustomed at first, and patrolling the markets all day long, doing some things about law and order management, was too boring. is far from what he thinks, young people, yearning for nature is to cross the battlefield, and worship the marquis.

After a long time, he slowly got used to it, had nothing to do, and trained his team according to the "military books" he read. Some ideas have been realized, and they are happy to have some results.

Wu Qi was already precocious, and as his mind slowly calmed down, he began to understand Wu Yue's intention to put it in the city guards. The daily uniformity and reciprocal patrol is really difficult for young people, but if they persist, the effect on the tempering of their minds is still good. And Wuqi is obviously more calm, and the whole person reveals a maturity that ordinary teenagers don't have.

followed Wu Yue into the palace a few times, as Liu Yuan's chief of guard, although he was dressed in civilian clothes, Wu Qi still recognized Long Yue at a glance. Just as he was about to say hello, he saw Long Qiu whispering, "Come with me, the Lord wants to see you!" ”

Lord? The only one who can be called the lord by Long Qi is the king, and Wuqi reacted at that time, the king is nearby!

"Keep patrolling, don't let up!" Commanded his subordinates.

Seeing that Long Qi turned around and headed towards the wine shop, Wu Qi followed, preparing to meet Liu Yuan with apprehension and excitement. This is the first time he has met the king alone! Such thoughts come to mind.

"The city guard army leads, Wuqi, meet the king!" went upstairs and entered the house, and after a little sweeping, he saw Liu Yuan sitting by the window, and Wuqi immediately stepped forward and knelt on the ground.

Liu Yuan looked at this Wu clan carefully, young, and there was still some fluff on his lips. Dressed in a military uniform and looking very energetic, Liu Yuan waved his hand to excuse him: "Wuqi, Gu still vaguely remembers what you looked like when you were a child, I never thought that you are so old now!" ”

This is naturally nonsense, where can Liu Yuan remember his appearance when he was young, but when he heard these words, he was very excited. No matter how calm he usually is, he can't hold back at this time in the face of Liu Yuan, the overlord of the grassland and the king of Great Xia.

The period when Wuqi was growing up was when Liu Yuan was engaged in a cult of personality among the grassland tribes. Up to now, in the hearts of many Xia people, especially young people, Liu Yuan is completely the king who has been mythologized. Wuqi, naturally, is no exception.

As if seeing Wuqi's nervousness, Liu Yuan smiled gently: "How long have you been in the city guard?" ”

"It's been half a year since I returned to the king!" Taking a deep breath, Wuqi replied.

Hearing this, Liu Yuan didn't say anything, just looked at Wuqi quietly. Wu Qi was a little uncomfortable, and his heart beat faster again, but he still suppressed Nahan and stood silently. After being stared at for a long time, he slowly calmed down, and then simply let go and let Liu Yuan scrutinize.

After a long time, Liu Yuan sighed: "You Wu clan are really talented." First there were Wuyue, Wuhuali, and now there is you Wuqi, you can be a Wushi Qianli horse! ”

"King Xie!" Wuqi bowed down. Liu Yuan commented on him like this, if it was spread out, then he would definitely be able to become famous. His position in the Wu clan will be more stable, leaving his peers a few streets away.

It is precisely because of his precociousness and young age that he is already fighting for the inheritance of the Wu family.

Liu Yuan was not a true god, and he couldn't know the thoughts of the young officer in front of him, but he was very satisfied with his performance, thought about it for a while, and ordered: "Report to the Northern Army and become a captain first!" ”

"No!" When Wuqi heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. The Northern Army didn't enter just as much as they wanted, although they were just a military commander, but this was ordered by Liu Yuan.

As the sun sets, the afterglow of the setting sun fills the East Market, the dusk sun shines on the body, and the pedestrians on the street have gradually decreased, and in another hour, it will be a curfew. The cool breeze blew in from the window, and Liu Yuan shivered uncomfortably.

"Go back to the palace!" After staying outside for a day, Liu Yuan was also quite tired. Before leaving, Wang Ying wanted to give Liu Yuan a "free order", but was reprimanded by Zhang Rang with a thick voice.

Quietly returning to the palace, for some reason, Liu Yuan felt tired, not physically, but mentally tired. At the end of the Han Dynasty in this era, there was a Xia country in the northern grasslands, and as the helmsman of the entire country, Liu Yuan has always forcibly imposed his own will on it and driven forward.

Now that the Sinicization reform is gradually on the right track, the grassland people are slowly being changed by it, and the stalls are getting bigger and bigger, but Liu Yuan is becoming more and more powerless. Sometimes, he also thinks, why don't you just not touch the hard bone of the big man in the south, and feel at ease to be his son of heaven outside the fortress, chic for a lifetime?

"Where's the night, King?"

"Let's go to Mrs. Bian!" Whenever he is upset, Liu Yuan likes to go to Bian's place, this woman, low-key and gentle and virtuous, always makes Liu Yuan feel calm.

When he arrived at Bian's place, Liu Yuan found that Bian's was carefully making a female celebrity, stitch by stitch, and extremely attentive. Stopped the maidservant, quietly approached, and hugged her as she put down her needle and thread.

Bian was obviously startled, but then realized that there must be Liu Yuan behind him, and Wen Yan said "King".

Feeling Bian's plump body and smelling the comfortable smell emanating from his body, Liu Yuan was a little intoxicated. Directly stopped the waist to hug a princess, and was about to go to the inner room, Bian exclaimed, his face was slightly red: "Don't be the king, it's not dark yet, the children are still there." ”

"No matter!"

The small door of the inner room was closed, and there was a swaying sound from inside, and soon a continuous and seductive murmur was heard from it.
