Ordinary things reunion after a long absence
Since the Tonghua City parade incident, the fox Mei returned to Guanzhong City to lock herself in the room for three months and did not go out, except for the little fox she raised, no one was allowed to enter, and the daily meals were only delivered by the next person to the door and immediately retreated, and the dinner plate was collected on the erection day.
In this regard, Wuyi Hou Chuhong expressed his worries, this is not only a problem of not seeing the fox, he has always listened to the fox's advice, but now he has lost his military advisor, in the conference hall, listening to the people and scholars at the bottom gossiping, each holding on to each other, not giving in to each other, and finally throwing the decision in front of him who should listen to the advice, Chu Hong is most afraid of thinking about this kind of problem, slammed the table in anger, stood up and left without saying a word, leaving a room of officials looking at each other and at a loss.
Han Fu followed, and Chu Hong asked, "Ah Fu, what do you think of the opinions put forward by Fang Cai's group of literati?" ”
Han Fu smiled bitterly: "My lord is honest, I still have some ideas about leading troops to fight, and I really don't know anything about this kind of politics." ”
Chu Hong: "Alas, without beauty, Ben Hou seems to have lost the guiding light in the night...... Sure enough, you can't wait like this, you have to find out why the beauty is angry. ”
Han Fu: "What I said is extremely true, as soon as possible, untie the knot in the heart of the fox staff officer and let her come back again." ”
Chu Hong intercepted the servant who delivered the meal, decided to deliver the meal himself and took this opportunity to enter the fox's room, and specially asked people to cook two more good dishes and prepare treasured wine.
Before coming to the door, Chu Hong knocked on the door with one hand and the other, and said gently: "Beauty, today Ben Hou personally delivered the meal, prepared a good wine and food, and planned to have a good drink with the beauty, we haven't drunk together for a long time to celebrate." ”
A foxy voice came from the room: "Adults, please go back, the little girl is not in this mood." ”
Chu Hong: "Don't be like this, the beauty has been in the room for many months, Ben Hou has not seen the beauty of the prosperous face for a long time, I haven't heard the beautiful sweet voice of the beauty for a long time, and I miss the beauty very much!" If Ben Hou offends the beauty in any way, he may as well say it directly, and whatever is wrong, Ben Hou nods and admits that he is willing to be punished, and only asks the beauty not to ignore Ben Hou. ”
At this time, the door was opened, and I saw Fox Mei looking up at Chu Hong's eyes, and asked seriously: "What the little girl asked for to search for Fengshuang before, can the adults gain anything?" ”
Chu Hong: "The net of heaven and earth has been spread near Tonghua City, and it will definitely be ...... soon"
Fox Mei interrupted: "The little girl is asking if adults have gained anything in these three months?!" ”
Chu Hong slurred: "There is no ...... yet"
Fox Mei: "Then these days, have the adults listened to the little girl's previous advice and actively participated in the government?" ”
Chu Hong: "Ben Hou can't see a beauty, how can he have the heart to participate in any early dynasty!" ”
Fox Mei shook her head and sighed, "My lord is really disappointing. ”
Chu Hong hurriedly put down the plate of wine and food, grabbed Humei's shoulders and said excitedly: "Because of this, there is an urgent need for beauties to return to Ben Hou's side to give advice, without the help of beauties, Ben Hou is really unable to move an inch!" ”
Fox Mei showed a contemptuous look and said, "The little girl has been feeling sick recently, let's talk about it in a few days." ”
As soon as the words fell, he pushed Chu Hong's hands away and retreated into the room, Chu Hong wanted to enter later, but he ate the closed door, and he didn't dare to break in for fear of completely angering the fox, leaving a sentence "The food is left at the door, and Ben Hou will come back in a few days to invite the beauty out of the customs" and left discouragedly.
However, in the next few days, the next few people found that the food sent had not been touched at all, and this situation had lasted for three days, and no one had ever seen Fox leave the room and go out to the general's mansion.
The people could feel that something was wrong, but without the permission of the fox, they did not dare to enter the room without permission for fear of being held accountable, and at this time, the master Chu Hong was following the instructions of the fox to go to the capital to participate in the early dynasty, and the distance was so far that it was impossible to arrive in one day without a quick horse, so even if Chu Hong only participated in the government for one day and returned quickly, when he returned to Guanzhong City, it was also a matter of the fourth day from the initial departure.
"Ben Hou is a good beauty, a good counselor, Ben Hou is back to see you!"
However, the moment he stepped into the mansion, the unusual silence made him feel uncomfortable, and the people worked silently, their eyes did not dare to look at them, and some of them had expressions of wanting to speak and stopped, were they afraid of Ben Hou? It's like you don't know your master when you come back from a few days out?
Chu Hong strode into the courtyard where the fox girl's room was, and was just about to step forward and knock on the door, noticing that the plate of food placed in front of the door was already a little rancid and being patronized by flies, so he called the housekeeper and asked, "Don't tell Ben Hou that this is the food you prepared for the fox staff?" ”
The butler trembled and said, "Tell the master...... Breakfast is still being prepared, it was last night's dinner......"
Chu Hong: "What do you mean by this that Staff Officer Fox didn't have dinner last night?" ”
The housekeeper lowered his head and didn't dare to look directly, and slowly spit out the words: "It's not just last night, it's been three days......"
"What?! Why didn't you tell Ben Hou earlier! ”
Chu Hong was so frightened when he heard this, he pushed the door hard and found that he was locked from the inside, and kicked the door open violently in a hurry, but after entering, he looked around but did not find any figure, and even the little white fox who loved to run around the room on weekdays was also missing.
The housekeeper was also startled when he followed up, and Chu Hong asked angrily, "Where is the fox staff officer?" Say! ”
Butler: "Master, the little one really doesn't know...... The fox girl has never been out of the house these days......"
Chu Hong: "Then what are you still doing in a daze?" Why don't you go get someone back for me! Wait, this room Ben Hou personally searched, such a big person can still lose it! ”
The housekeeper had never seen the master make such a big fire, and he didn't dare to slack off and immediately arranged all the subordinates who could be mobilized to search in the house, even the latrines and stables were looked through, Han Fu and Hu Erniu also hurriedly rushed from the military camp to the general's mansion when they heard the news, and when they walked into the fox room, the whole house was turned upside down, and the cabinets, beds, and other things that could be opened and lifted were all started, and even a few stone tiles on the floor were dug out, and the scene could be described as a mess.
Han Fu: "Lord Wuyi, Lord ......"
Hu Erniu: "Sister Fox is really gone?" ”
Chu Hong sat on the ground with a weak body, looking at the foxy clothes in his hand with a dull look of embarrassment, and let out a broken thought with a low sobbing sound: "It's gone...... It's really gone...... My beauty......"
Although a large number of soldiers were dispatched to conduct a thorough investigation of the whole city, and a carpet search was also carried out around Guanzhong City, no results or clues to his whereabouts were found, and no one said that he had ever witnessed the whereabouts of the fox and disappeared quietly out of thin air.
"It's a sweet dream, is it time to wake up now?"
"No, those luxurious clothes and jewelry are specially bought for the beauty, and she also promised to wear it for Ben Hou to see, the beauty is the person who really existed around Ben Hou!"
"She is a fairy who came down from heaven to help me Chu Hong, is she going back to heaven now?"
"Before she left, she was so disappointed in Ben Hou."
“……”
"I see...... I see! ”
"Beauty, she must be watching me somewhere in heaven now, although she is forced to leave, she will not give up on me!"
"As long as Benhou does what she told her to do and does her best to fulfill her wishes, one day she will return to Benhou."
"That's it! That's it!! ”
Han Fu originally saw that Chu Hong was depressed for more than two months, and was ready to take him to drink with him to relieve his boredom, and by the way, he called some girls to accompany him to drink, although the loss of fox charm was a major loss to Chu Hong and even the Wuyi army, but people can't always be unafforded because of a woman, but he didn't expect to be rejected by Chu Hong categorically, and watched him pack up and prepare to go to the Kuihuang Capital City to live for a long time.
In the days to come, Chu Hong participated in the morning dynasty on time every day, even if he was silent from beginning to end, he insisted, the action of searching for Fengshuang did not end or even intensified, completely ignoring the people's complaints, and after a long time, Prime Minister Luo used this as a handle to complain to Kwai Yuan in the court, Kwai Yuan was also very puzzled why Chu Hong insisted on arresting this person named Feng Shuang regardless of the people's expectations, and specially asked Chu Hong to tell his reasons in the court, but he didn't expect Chu Hong to not appreciate the steps given by Kwai Yuan, and continued to go his own way without telling the reason, Even Bai Yuan, an ally on the side, was disappointed in it.
Unconsciously, a year has passed, before leaving for the capital, he told his subordinates to report the news of Humei immediately, but so far there is still no news from the Wuyi Army, and there is no result in the search for Fengshuang, and even the person named Fengshuang can no longer be found, and the people in the entire northwest and even southeast of the Central Plains know the evil deeds of the Wuyi Army, even if there is really a person named Fengshuang, they have long chosen to remain incognito, not to mention that now that Humei is not there, it is impossible to confirm whether the person caught is correct, Chu Hong has taken an extreme approach - all of them are detained indefinitely, Until the fox is recovered.
Relative to this year for Prime Minister Luo is simply a reversal of fortune, smooth sailing, originally thought that after Wuyi Hou won over Tonghua City, the next step will be to the east or the south of the big stride, in the face of the Wuyi Army and the Oriental Chamber of Commerce two forces of the two forces made themselves unable to deal with it, the result is that there is no next step at all so that Prime Minister Luo can deal with the forces of the Eastern Chamber of Commerce invading the south with peace of mind, now a year has passed, Jiang Luzi is a little powerless, and the continuous business war losses have made the people of the Chamber of Commerce have issued the intention of preparing to withdraw, Losing the organization and continuing to go south will only make you bankrupt and gain nothing, seeing that the Eastern Chamber of Commerce is beginning to retreat, Prime Minister Luo can turn his gun and start to deal with the forces of the Wuyi army.
Today's imperial court hall Prime Minister Luo proposed that now the Central Plains is stable and free of war, and the military power should be narrowed and only the frontier defenders should be retained, and more suitable officials should be sent to the inland, especially in the western Xinjiang, to be responsible for the development of business and governance, and to do a good job in the local economy, instead of the current management as a military barracks, to put it bluntly, he wants to send people of his own power to take over the western territory of the Wuyi army, and send the Wuyi army to the northern frontier area on the grounds of "guarding the border", so that this group of people can be completely excluded from political affairs as tools.
Bai Yuan was the first to oppose that Prime Minister Luo's judgment was too arbitrary, and the Central Plains was not as stable and stable as he imagined, Kwai Yuan also saw Prime Minister Luo's plan to weaken the power of the Wuyi Army, and specifically asked Chu Hong what his opinion was, thinking that Chu Hong would refute matters related to his vital interests, but he didn't expect him to be speechless about the deliberations proposed by Prime Minister Luo, after all, he was full of worries about when the fox would return.
Even the parties couldn't say the reason for refusal, Kwai Yuan and Baiyuan couldn't help it, the bill was passed in the vote of Prime Minister Luo's power officials, and the follow-up plan for disarmament and governance redeployment was formulated and discussed, and Prime Minister Luo was about to regain his huge power step by step.
After retreating from the court, Chu Hong walked down the stone steps absentmindedly, and at this time, Bai Yuan and his subordinate officials walked quickly past Chu Hong, Bai Yuan glared at him and said: "If you continue to be like the crutch that you can't support, the covenant between us is estimated to end here." ”
Seeing Baiyuan's back gradually disappearing, Chu Hong's heart was shrouded in a huge fear, even if he was on the battlefield and accompanied by death, he was not afraid of half a point, but now he felt an unprecedented sense of loneliness and crisis, he didn't know how to move forward without Fox, including a large part of everything he has now is Foxy to fight for him back, otherwise he should have been secretly dealt with by Prime Minister Luo after pacifying the civil strife, or pulled to his side as an insignificant dog, what to fight for His Majesty Dan Yun is a joke.
"I heard that the woman who was always by your side is gone, and now she is still wasting manpower and material resources day and night to find it, what a wreck who can achieve nothing without a woman haha!"
Such a piercing mockery sounded in his ears, Chu Hong glared, it turned out to be a mockery from Xiao Yi who was passing by, he still remembered his hatred for losing three excellent subordinates, and took the opportunity to humiliate Chu Hong, and at the same time, Prime Minister Luo, who was passing by on the side, glanced at Chu Hong and continued to move forward disdainfully.
"Why do they know about Benhou's loss of beauty??"
"Why do they know that Ben Hou has always relied on beauties for advice??"
"Didn't they do it when they didn't see the beauty?!"
"They did it?!!"
