Chapter 5: Trouble Comes to the Door (Seeking to Follow-up)

Looking at the murderous Wang Ruoxue in front of him, Zhu Qiyu was stunned for a moment.

Originally, he was startled by the murderous aura on Wang Ruoxue's body, and then his gaze moved downward.

Then I was overjoyed, and although the table was cut in half, all the food was spilled.

There is no endless road!

Zhu Qiyu secretly wept in his heart, and said gratefully: "Brother Xiaoqiang, great kindness, repay it in the next life." ”

Xiaoqiang used his stump to defend Zhu Qiyu's right to life.

So loyal, touching heaven and earth!

Zhu Qiyu finally breathed a sigh of relief, no matter whether the meal was dark or not, he didn't need to risk it anymore.

However, when he turned his eyes to look at Wang Ruoxue again, Zhu Qiyu hesitated for a moment.

He was stunned to find that the murderous aura had faded from Wang Ruoxue's body.

She stared at the food that had been spilled all over the floor, and then the uncontrollable color of loss crawled all over her peach-like face.

Zhu Qiyu was quite puzzled, and said in his heart: "It's just a few plates of food, looking at the specifications of the palace, it doesn't look like you can't afford to eat." ”

Zhu Qiyu's eyes wandered, looking for clues.

His eyes swept over Wang Ruoxue's slender jade hand, and there were subtle knife wounds.

Zhu Qiyu's slightly narrowed eyes suddenly opened, and he realized it all of a sudden.

Is that the case......

After guessing the reason, Zhu Qiyu felt a trace of guilt in his heart.

I just have such thoughts, and I really deserve to be a husband.

In the next moment, I didn't care about any swords and generals.

Zhu Qiyu stepped forward and hugged Wang Ruoxue into his arms.

The sudden hug made Wang Ruoxue not react, and she was completely embraced by Zhu Qiyu.

Feeling the warmth of her chest, Wang Ruoxue's little head suddenly plunged into Zhu Qiyu's arms, and her emotions were finally released at this moment.

Wang Ruoxue wept and sobbed in a low voice.

"I ...... I messed up again, I'm sorry, Xianggong. ”

Zhu Qiyu gently touched his wife's head, and instead of blaming, he comforted him softly: "It's okay madam, you can cook it again when the food is gone, you are not hurt." ”

The doting gaze suddenly wrapped around Wang Ruoxue, she shook her head, and her little face flushed with a hint of ruddy, "No." ”

Hearing the movement in the hall, several domestic servants hurriedly ran in.

I thought there was an assassin, but as soon as I came in, I saw Zhu Qiyu and Wang Ruoxue hugging each other.

Not only that, but seeing Wang Ruoxue holding a long sword and crying in Zhu Qiyu's arms, several people were suddenly stunned, standing in place stiffly, not daring to make the slightest movement.

When had they seen such a scene?

Zhu Qiyu sensed that someone was coming, turned his face sideways and glanced at everyone, and then instructed: "You go find a few new plates, and everyone else will touch the food sprinkled on the ground." ”

"No."

Hearing this, several domestic servants seemed to grasp the life-saving straw and retreated respectfully.

Soon, several brand new plates were brought in.

Zhu Qiyu took the plate and sent the servants away.

Then he leaned over by himself and put the spilled food on his plate.

"Lord Wang?" Wang Ruoxue had tears in the corners of her eyes, and she was a little puzzled when she saw Zhu Qiyu's movements.

After loading, Zhu Qiyu sat down on the chair quickly, picked up the chopsticks, and began to feast on them, and the food on the plate was quickly wiped out.

"Lord Wang, the food that fell on the ground is dirty!" Wang Ruoxue realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop it.

But she was a step too late after all.

Zhu Qiyu ate the last grain of rice, put down the dishes and chopsticks, turned to Wang Ruoxue with a pale face, gave a big thumbs up, and raised a satisfied smile at the same time.

"It's delicious, it's just a little salty, put less salt next time."

These words were like the firelight of the cold winter wax moon, which warmed Wang Ruoxue's heart.

Wang Ruoxue suddenly felt full of happiness, but before she could say anything, Zhu Qiyu's body was shocked, and the whole person was stunned for two or three breaths, and then fell forward and fainted.

"Lord Wang!" The princess's panicked voice came from her ears

……

I don't know how long it took, Zhu Qiyu slowly opened his eyes, and in front of him was Manli's bed.

"I ...... Still alive? ”

He checked to see if his body was at his disposal, and soon he felt that the strength of his arm was stronger than before.

Or rather, his whole body is tougher than before.

What's going on?

Could it be that those meals have a physical-strengthening effect?

Zhu Qiyu was shocked that dark cuisine still had such an effect.

But you must know that after eating those things, his sense of taste and smell dissipated, and then his consciousness was like a kite holding a thin string, and it was suddenly disconnected.

Before he could figure out what was going on, there was a warm feeling in Zhu Qiyu's right hand.

Until someone held his hand.

Wife?

Since it was in the palace, Zhu Qiyu's first thought must be Princess Wang Ruoxue.

"Hmph, have you been moved by the sincerity of this king, I really can't help you."

Recalling that when she was still conscious, Wang Ruoxue was so moved, Zhu Qiyu smiled slightly, turned her head sideways and wanted to touch the princess's little head.

Unexpectedly, when he turned his head, he was met by a bearded man.

"I'll go!"

This scene frightened Zhu Qiyu into a thrill.

It seems to be some kind of complex conditioned reflex, Zhu Qiyu got up suddenly, picked up the pillow without hesitation, and smashed his head and face at the person, and when he saw the situation, he wanted to teach the other party to be a man.

Fortunately, Wang Ruoxue, who arrived in time, "took the white blade empty-handed", which saved the person from the disaster.

The man was obviously frightened by Zhu Qiyu's abnormal movement, and when he saw the wooden pillow that was only a size apart from his head, he almost lost his soul.

He sat down on the ground and couldn't calm down for a long time.

Seeing that Zhu Qiyu was not sober yet, Wang Ruoxue hurriedly explained: "Lord Wang, this is Lord Xiao Yuexiao in the Hubu Langzhong, entrusted by the emperor, to discuss with the prince about the use of food and grass for the army. ”

The household servant, the emperor, and the grain and grass are used.

Hiss......

The people of the imperial court.

Zhu Qiyu briefly brushed his thoughts, understood what was going on, and he calmed down.

Then he hurriedly helped Xiao Yue up.

While supporting, Zhu Qiyu laughed.

"Oh, it turned out to be Lord Xiao, I have been looking up for a long time." Zhu Qiyu patted Xiao Yue's shoulder, this man who is over fifty years old can still hold on, and he didn't fall apart, "There are many offenses, many offenses"

Hearing this, Xiao Yue glanced at Zhu Qiyu innocently, and held back a sentence in her mouth for a long time, but she never said it.

He sighed, as if resigned to his fate, and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Servants is serious, His Royal Highness is in good health, full of martial arts, he is a really heroic young man, and the old ministers admire him." ”

It seems to be helpless, but in fact it is a hidden mystery.

Xiao Yue has been in officialdom for more than ten years, and she can be described as old and spicy.

In today's court, the emperor is close to the king of Yu, even Wang Zhen, who is in power, has to avoid his edge, and now the emperor has ordered Zhu Qiyu to preside over the affairs of the Northern Expedition, and anyone with a discerning eye can see who to follow, in the face of this young prince, Xiao Yue did not dare to have the slightest temper.

Not only that, but he also has to take this opportunity to get along with this young prince, and if he can get along and get in touch, it will be even better.

Although he is young, Zhu Qiyu is not a fool, from Xiao Yue's flattering eyes, he can read what this old fox is thinking in his head.

However, Zhu Qiyu did not break it, first, this Northern Expedition was the first time he participated in the conquest task, he alone did not have any experience in commanding troops, and he was naturally confused about the scheduling of grain and grass.

Yu Qian is powerful, but if he has to do everything himself, even the heavens and men will have to die of exhaustion.

Second, it is not a good thing to be able to support your own forces in the imperial court.

Although it is not a good thing to form a party for personal gain, sometimes it is a last resort for self-protection or other purposes.

After the two cleared up the misunderstanding, Zhu Qiyu asked Xiao Langzhong to wait in the conference hall first, and he got dressed and arrived later.

There are two main seats in the council hall facing the door, and there are a number of deputy seats below.

Xiao Yue sat in the deputy seat, and Zhu Qiyu sat in the main seat.

Above the lobby, Zhu Qiyu sipped tea.

"Lord Xiao, how much grain and grass has been approved by the household department for the expedition of this army, although the scale of our army's Northern Expedition is not large, I am afraid that it will consume a lot of time." Zhu Qiyu said while thinking in his heart.

When the army is on a foreign expedition, the more adequate the logistics, the better.

Fighting a war is about logistics!

Who knew that as soon as she said this, Xiao Yue's face was full of solemnity for a while, and she sighed again and again, full of ambition, and stopped talking.

Zhu Qiyu frowned slightly, he sensed a hint of something wrong from Xiao Yue's performance, he was not verbose, and asked directly: "What are the difficulties, Lord Xiao said that it is okay." ”

Who knew that as soon as these words came out, Xiao Yue, an old minister in the court, seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, and actually secretly wept.

Bean-sized tears crackled on the table.

This time, Zhu Qiyu was blinded.

No...... If you have something to say, a manly man, you started crying without saying anything, what is this?

Zhu Qiyu, who was quick-witted, suddenly realized something, grabbed Xiao Yue's wrist, stared at the other party with his eyes, and asked in a somewhat close tone: "Did someone make a stumbling block and seize the grain and grass of my army?" ”

Xiao Yue nodded with difficulty, and said in a guilty tone: "Originally, the matter of grain and grass scheduling did not bother the prince, but as soon as this matter came out, the old minister could not do anything, so he had to come to ask the prince for help. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Qiyu's eyes froze, and he rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

Xiao Yue said a long list, but Zhu Qiyu heard two words.

Wang Zhen!
