General's Palace.

After resting for two days, Gu Tianzhen was finally able to get out of bed.

After hearing the news that the general's illness had improved, many nobles of the Tianchen Kingdom came to express their concern for him, but Gu Tianzhen was happy and quiet and turned most of them away.

However, there was one person he did not dare to refuse.

That is Xia Xinghai, the monarch of the Tianchen Kingdom!

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

With the eunuch shouting in the voice of the male duck, Gu Tianzhen's family knelt neatly at the door to welcome Xia Xinghai's arrival.

Xia Xinghai walked directly in front of Gu Tianzhen, helped him up, and said softly: "General Gu, your body has not yet healed, so you don't need to be so polite!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, the ministers don't dare to be rude!"

Gu Tianzhen clasped his fists and saluted, he respected and loved Xia Xinghai from the bottom of his heart.

He knows very well: Xia Xinghai is a rare Ming Jun in a hundred years!

It is my honor to be able to follow him before and after the saddle!

Gu Tianzhen originally had a bad background, just a child from a poor family, and later his family could not afford to raise him, so he had to join the army and follow the army to fight.

As a result, Gu Tianzhen was lucky, won many battles, and gradually sharpened his true skills in the war, and established a great achievement!

But no matter how brilliant and excellent his performance is, it won't help, because according to the previous regulations of the Tianchen Kingdom, he can't be a general of an army if he is not a nobleman!

However, Xia Xinghai ignored everyone's doubts, broke the tradition, appointed others, directly appointed Gu Tianzhen as the general, led all the sergeants to fight, and repelled the invading enemy country with one blow, and made great achievements.

At this point, Gu Tianzhen's reputation has become very famous!

Xia Xinghai did not unload the mill and kill the donkey, but rewarded Gu Tianzhen with countless glory and wealth according to his merits.

Even when he was seriously ill before, he deliberately took time out to visit him......

The two chatted as they moved to the lobby.

Xia Xinghai sat on a high chair, sipped fragrant tea, and asked, "I heard that General Gu is sick...... Was it cured by a strange snack?"

Gu Tianzhen's cheeks twitched, this is really a good thing not to go out, and a bad thing to spread thousands of miles!

Even His Majesty knows......

I don't know which mouthy slave leaked out.

"Yes!" Gu Tianzhen nodded.

Xia Xinghai showed an interested gaze: "Can you let this king see a thing or two?"

Gu Tianzhen turned around and glanced at Gu Qingshan, Gu Qingshan instantly understood his father's intentions, took a step forward, knelt down on one knee and said: "Your Majesty, this snack is called spicy strips, it was discovered by the minister in a remote herb shop, its taste is very unique, it is something that the minister has never tasted, it makes people taste it and stimulates appetite." ”

As he spoke, Gu Qingshan took out a pack of spicy strips from the space ring, respectfully tore open the corner, and raised his hands to Xia Xinghai.

Xia Xinghai took it with great interest, sniffed it with his nose first, and immediately covered his nose and said, "This smell...... It's really exciting......"

Then, he didn't suspect anything else, took a small bite directly, and began to taste it.

He wasn't afraid that Gu Tianzhen would be inside

poisoned, and did not let the eunuch test the poison for him. On the one hand, it is to show his trust and affinity for him, and on the other hand, even if he is really poisoned, he can still forcibly vomit it with his profound spiritual power, but Gu Tianzhen's family is about to die for this......

"Whoa, whoa...... Gollum ......"

Soon, Xia Xinghai finished eating the spicy strips in his mouth.

His pupils dilated rapidly, and there was a hint of surprise on his face, and he said in surprise: "This spicy strip...... At first taste, it is sweet and delicious, and the taste is peculiar...... After entering the stomach, I can feel more and more spicy feeling, which makes people want to continue eating......"

"What Your Majesty said is extremely true!" Gu Tianzhen echoed.

Since he woke up, he has completely eaten spicy noodles as a meal, and he always feels that there is something wrong with it without three meals a day, and it is not fragrant to eat.

Driven by Gu Tianzhen, the Gu family gradually became addicted to spicy noodles, and even the Chen family liked it.

"General Gu, can you tell us more about your strange disease?" Xia Xinghai asked while eating spicy noodles.

Gu Tianzhen didn't mind, stood up straight and replied: "Back to Your Majesty's words, according to the minister's opinion, the minister's illness is caused by the recurrence of old injuries over the years! They have been accumulating in the body for a long time, and gradually formed a thick black blood clot, this blood clot somehow moved to the minister's throat, making the minister lose his appetite, and it is difficult to swallow anything, and the doctors have not checked it out......

"Fortunately, my son Qingshan, he worked tirelessly, walked to every corner of Shengchen City, and finally found the snack of this spicy strip in a remote herb shop! After feeding the submission, the minister could clearly feel a foreign body in his throat, it seemed that he couldn't stand the stimulation of this spicy strip, and constantly rejected it, so the minister took the opportunity to take fifty packs of spicy strips, relying on the advantage of a large amount to vomit it out in one fell swoop, and was cured......"

Xia Xinghai listened to Gu Tianzhen's narration and nodded secretly.

He didn't expect Gu Tianzhen's illness to be such an unexpected process!

Xia Xinghai couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "General Gu, this is a Jiren's own natural appearance!"

Gu Tianzhen said: "This is also thanks to Your Majesty's blessing Qitian, the minister was stained with light, and he was lucky to save his life......

The two then chatted about some military and political matters, and time passed quickly.

At the time of separation, Xia Xinghai suddenly turned around and said, "Can you give this spicy strip to this king?"

Gu Tianzhen hurriedly replied, "Naturally!"

He held back his heartache and gave Xia Xinghai all the spicy strips left in Gu Qingshan's spatial ring.

It can be seen that when Xia Xinghai tried the first bite, he already liked the taste.

Xia Xinghai was in a very happy mood, and after he casually rewarded Gu Tianzhen with some gold, silver and jewelry as a gift, he took the carriage back to the palace.

......

After returning to the palace, Xia Xinghai handled government affairs in the council hall as usual.

At this time, the male duck of the eunuch at the door remembered: "Report to Your Majesty, Prime Minister Zuo asks to see you!"

"Biography!"

Xia Xinghai's brushwork did not pause in the slightest.

"Stepping on ......"

With the sound of footsteps, an old man with a thin face met Xia Xinghai's eyes, he was very tall,

Even if he is a little hunched because of his age, he still stands out from the crowd.

His pale hair and eyebrows looked very friendly on his face, and his gaze was vast, as if it contained all kinds of stars, and just one glance at him could tell that he was an extremely learned old man.

He is the left prime minister of the Tianchen Kingdom, Zuo Yu!

"Prime Minister Zuo is here! You came just in time, help this king take a look at the matter of the Red Fire Kingdom's increased defense on the border......"

Xia Xinghai breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was anxious about this matter just now, and it happened that Zuo Yu was here, so he could analyze one or two for him.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is here for the princess to return to the academy!"

Zuo Yu didn't answer Xia Xinghai's question, but instead said another thing with his head held high.

Xia Xinghai was stunned for a moment, then patted his head, and said helplessly: "The news of this palace...... It's so fast!"

Zuo Yu said solemnly: "Your Majesty, you are confused! The war between the two countries is about to break out, why did you send the princess back to the academy at this juncture?"

In the entire Tianchen Kingdom, except for Wu Fan, I am afraid that Zuo Yu is the only one who dares to speak out against Xia Xinghai.

He does things fairly and justly, everything is for the sake of the Tianchen Kingdom, and sometimes Xia Xinghai does something wrong, and he will also be corrected by him.

And Xia Xinghai still has to listen to his advice and take his opinion seriously.

Because...... He is Xia Xinghai's teacher......

"Teacher, listen to this king's explanation first......"

Xia Xinghai was about to speak, but was interrupted by Zuo Yu.

"Your Majesty, this is official business, please call the old minister the prime minister!

There is an unwritten rule between them.

In private, Xia Xinghai would call him a teacher and respect him.

However, when he is in public, Zuo Yu will regard himself as the prime minister of the Tianchen Kingdom and will not go beyond the rules.

"Okay, Prime Minister Zuo!"

Xia Xinghai was helpless, he was very clear about Zuo Yu's stinky temper, and it was difficult for anyone to change his decision!

"In fact, it is the new Heavenly Master in Shengchen City who taught Ziyan, and with his guarantee, Ziyan's safety can be assured!"

"Heavenly Master?!"

Zuo Yu's previous calm appearance disappeared completely at this moment, and the wrinkles on his face were tightly squeezed together, full of shock.

"So...... This Heavenly Master has actually been hiding in the academy all along?"

Xia Xinghai shook his head and said: "It's not Tibet, he was originally a teacher of the Xingchen Magic Academy, but he was successful in the assessment some time ago, and then he became a heavenly master!"

Zuo Yu was even more shocked!

If it was said that a certain hidden old monster broke through to become a heavenly master, although he was surprised, he was quickly able to accept it.

But now I'm a teacher at the academy...... And he is also a teacher in the freshman class......

He knew that only young teachers would teach the freshman class!

So, this new Heavenly Master is not very old, very young?

"That's right, at first......"

Xia Xinghai told Zuo Yu all the ins and outs of the whole matter, he was one of Xia Xinghai's most trusted people, and there was nothing to hide.
