"Report, General!" Pan Long was adjusting his emotions when a herald ran over.

Pan Long let out a long breath and forcibly suppressed his anger, "Say." ”

"The envoy to the state of Chu has returned, and the king of Chu has not agreed to send troops."

Bang~~~ Pan Long was angry, he didn't control it, and directly kicked the low table in front of him, kicking the table to pieces.

The herald swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he knew that the general would be so angry, so he wouldn't take the money, but it would be useless to think about it now, so let's think about how to get through it first.

He hunched his body and said in a trembling voice, "But, but the prince of Chu agreed." ”

Pan Long turned around and took a deep look at the herald, "Prince of Chu State? ”

With just one glance, the frightened herald didn't dare to raise his head, he could only lower his head and tremble and answer, "Yes, yes." ”

"Shizi, it's okay." The prince is actually the crown prince, but the title is different, he is the legitimate heir to the throne of Chu, and this identity can still do a lot of things.

Since the plan against the Yue State was not going well, Pan Long also relaxed his requirements for the results of the envoy's mission to the Chu State, and his expectations decreased, "You go." ”

"Yes." The herald didn't dare to breathe, and he turned around and was about to slip away.

"Wait......" Pan Long spoke again, and the herald almost knelt, if it weren't for his psychological quality, he would have already left the truth behind in this twist and turn.

"Tell the messengers who have come back, forget it this time, if there is a next time." Pan Long snorted coldly, "Just wait to eat the military stick." ”

"Yes." It turned out that he was talking about this, and the herald secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly slipped away.

"Come on." As soon as the herald left, Pan Long called out to the guards, "Follow him and have a look, and when he finishes speaking, beat him with twenty sticks first." ”

"Yes!" The guards understood, and waited for the herald to finish speaking, and then beat the twenty military sticks as appropriate.

Pan Long is not stupid, how can he not see the catty in this?

It is said that when the messenger comes back, he should come to see him, the general, as soon as possible to explain the situation, and he should also be with the herald at the very least, but now there is only one herald.

As expected, it should be that the messenger felt that the task was not completed well and did not dare to come, so the herald was allowed to explore the way first.

Pan Long can understand this, plus the envoy can say that the prince of Chu can be regarded as a meritorious service, so he has no temper with these envoys.

But this herald is a bit excessive, he dares to accept bribes, isn't this a violation of military discipline? Isn't it time to hit the board?

Of course, it could also be that the herald had an old friend with a certain envoy, so Pan Long asked the guards to go with him.

Although Pan Long didn't say anything about these considerations, the guards would understand the situation when they saw it.

If you accept bribes, you will be killed directly with twenty military sticks;

If it is because of friendship, the twenty military sticks still have to be beaten, after all, favoritism is also a violation of military regulations, but it should not be fatal.

Here, it is still very particular, and only these guards of Pan Long can be transparent and know what to do.

It can be seen from this that the general's personal guard is not easy to do, and loyalty, ability, and wisdom are indispensable.

…………

But he said that Lu Zhi's side, just a few days after he was free, King Yue invited him to dinner, and it was estimated that he had some new tasks.

But to be honest, at the moment of Wu Yue's war, with his identity and ability, he should do more, after all, those who can work harder.

√, when faced with a new task that may come, Lu Zhi persuaded himself like this.

Speaking of which, although Lu Zhi is modest, he can still accept the title of "capable" with peace of mind.

I'm just a capable person, and there's nothing wrong with it.

…………

The Queen's Bedchamber.

King Yue held a small family banquet, only he and the queen, plus Lu Zhi and the Taiping County Lord, and the United States, just like an ordinary family of four.

One thing to say, King Yue is definitely an emotional king.

Let's just say that those old ministers who had accompanied him in the last Wu-Yue War, King Yue trusted them very much, and when he arrived at Lu Zhi, it was almost the same.

Lu Zhi didn't know what King Yue was thinking in his heart, but after getting along these days, he felt that King Yue was not bad, at least, there was still a lot of human touch.

Especially today, King Yue borrowed the strength of the wine, and also said some words of gratitude vaguely, as a king, this is a very difficult thing.

"Father, don't say anything, it's all in the wine." Lu Zhi understood the meaning, and in the same way, he also used the strength of the wine to pull the relationship, and tried to get his father-in-law drunk.

Isn't it, the two of them hooked their shoulders, and they were about to be called brothers.

The queen and the lord of Taiping are also in a rut, and there are no outsiders, so let them "relax".

That night, Lu Zhi stayed in the palace, which was the first time.

…………

The next day, the family got together for lunch again, this time the queen cooked, and she didn't make a big deal, so she made a few small dishes, and there was no oil and water, and most of them were vegetarian dishes.

Lu Zhi is a person who is used to big fish and meat, and rarely eats vegetarian food, but he tastes the vegetarian dishes made by the queen......

Hey, don't say it, it's surprisingly delicious.

If this is an ordinary person, you must have to ask casually, why is it so delicious? Any tips?

But Lu Zhi is not an ordinary person, after a little thought, he analyzed seventy-seven-eighty-eight.

Why do you think these vegetarian dishes are delicious? Because I often do it, as the saying goes, practice makes perfect.

Lu Zhi estimated that this matter should be related to the dead prince, and it was better not to ask around, so as not to be embarrassed.

"Haha, the queen said that you are often lazy in bed, and Lone didn't believe it at first." King Yue smiled, "I didn't expect that I could really sleep." ”

Don't look at King Yue and Lu Zhi having a banquet last night, and he didn't drink less, but he still didn't fall behind today's early dynasty, but he was much more diligent than Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi smiled and didn't care, but the Taiping County Lord was a little embarrassed, and pulled the queen to whisper.

Before leaving, the county lord of Taiping also gave Lu Zhi a look.

Lu Zhi was stunned for a moment, then responded with a smile, thinking, "If you have a wife like this, what more can your husband ask for!" ”

Speaking of which, didn't the queen have something to do with Lu Zhi last time, but arranged for some people to do things in the inner treasury, they are all relatives, and everyone makes money if they have money.

For this problem, Lu Zhi has no problem in principle, but there are some details that need to be talked about.

After all, it is not easy for him to set up such a big stall, and someone will stir it up...... So some ugly things have to be said first.

It's just that Lu Zhi is not easy to say these words, so he discussed it with the Taiping County Lord, and the Taiping County Lord is not a very unreasonable person, and in the end she decided to act as this lobbyist to help communicate between the two sides.

Isn't it, just now Taiping County focused on this problem.
