Chapter 3: Preparation
Chu Hao didn't speak, just stared at Cao Zhengchun calmly.
He knew in his heart that even if he was a system creation, Cao Zhengchun, who was 'die-hard' in his loyalty, also had selfishness in his heart, not a puppet who only knew how to obey orders.
is like these 'heartfelt words', on the one hand, he explained that he was worried about Chu Hao, so he disobeyed the will of the first emperor, and on the other hand, he hinted to Chu Hao, 'that demon' can't help him.
took the initiative to take the two crimes of 'dereliction of duty' and 'going against the will of the first emperor' as a handle, and while handing them to Chu Hao, he also hinted that he was still useful.
Moreover, the three words 'that demon' in his mouth are also hinting at 'Pudu Cihang'.
But Chu Hao didn't think that only Cao Zhengchun, who was a martial arts class, could resist Pudu Cihang.
In this way, what he calls 'that demon' is only a hint, not a fact.
There are demons all over the palace, and any one of them can become what he calls 'that demon'.
When the first emperor was alive, although he taught some ways to be an emperor and a royal emperor, he had some reservations.
At present, Chu Hao can only guess these intentions, and there may be deeper places, but he doesn't have the energy to think about it again.
Or, Cao Zhengchun's words are simply and have no other meaning.
But Chu Hao would rather think more than be ignorant.
And the memory of Cao Zhengchun in his previous life can only be used as a reference, not as a trust.
When he thought of this, he found that Cao Zhengchun's body was trembling slightly, and a few drops of cold sweat had broken out on his forehead.
Chu Hao's gaze moved away from him, and he muttered, "Right now, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are all dead, and there must be few living people in the palace, listening to what you say, he is loyal to me!" ”
Speaking of this, he looked at Cao Zhengchun who was prostrate on the ground again, hanging his head and saying nothing, "There is no one on my left and right, and you have the means to fight against monsters, so follow me and serve in the future!" “
"As for your dereliction of duty in guarding the imperial city, as well as the violation of the holy decree of the first emperor, I will not care about it for the time being, and I will allow you to make meritorious contributions!"
"As for official positions, you will be rewarded according to your performance in the future!"
After Cao Zhengchun heard this, he looked like he was crying with joy on his surface, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
He originally thought that he would be ordered by the new emperor to follow the first emperor.
As Chu Hao said, he was responsible for guarding the imperial city, but he caused the huge imperial city to be occupied by demons.
Then he went against the will of the first emperor and broke out of the prison.
According to the rules of the palace, if he commits one of these two things casually, he will die without a place to be buried.
I don't think about it, but there is still a chance to be loyal.
As soon as he thought of this, Cao Zhengchun fell to the ground and said, "Slave and maid thank the emperor!" ”
Chu Hao glanced at him deeply, and slowly spoke: "I have always been eclectic in employing people, even if I am a eunuch, I may not be able to pay homage to the prime minister in the future!" ”
"So, you have to work hard and don't let me down!"
He stopped there and didn't go on.
But Cao Zhengchun, who was prostrate on the ground, suddenly widened his eyes at these words.
After Chu Hao finished painting the flatbread for him, he waved his hand weakly at him and said, "Get up, bring me another glass of water." ”
After Cao Zhengchun got up, he hurriedly walked to the table not far away, picked up the white porcelain pot and poured out a glass of water, put the spoon into the cup, and cautiously walked to the dragon bed.
Then he bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the slave maid has used the power in his body to heat the water in this cup, your dragon body is weak, so let the slave and maid serve it!" ”
After that, seeing Chu Hao nodding slightly, he dared to reach out and help Chu Hao sit up completely, and carefully fed warm water with a spoon.
After Chu Hao drank all the glass of water, Cao Zhengchun helped him against the wall again.
It is said that it is a wall, but in fact, it belongs to the dragon bed as a whole, and it is also a hollow carved rosewood. The color of purple in black looks simple and deep.
After Chu Hao drank this glass of water, he felt that his spirit had recovered somewhat.
He glanced sideways at Cao Zhengchun, who had already put the teacup back on the table and bowed down to the side of the dragon bed, and asked, "What time is it?" ”
Cao Zhengchun said respectfully: "Back to the emperor, the time of Hai (21:00~22:59) has passed, and it has come to the time of the child (23:00~00:59)." ”
Chu Hao nodded slowly and said, "I will rest against the wall for a while, and when it is ugly (1:00~2:59), you will wake me up again, and during this period, don't let the demons in!" ”
Cao Zhengchun said respectfully: "The emperor doesn't have to worry, the slave maid has practiced the child's skill for 50 years, and she is full of qi and blood, and she has long been invulnerable." There are slaves and maids here, and no evil demons can get one step closer to the Qianqing Palace! ”
Only then did Chu Hao close his eyes with peace of mind.
He was picked up by monsters for half a month, and his body was extremely weak. After drinking a glass of water just now, I finally recovered a little energy, and the sleepiness hit again.
After Cao Zhengchun saw Chu Hao snoring slightly soon after closing his eyes, his expression was still respectful, but his eyes showed a contemplative look.
In his memory, he was the first emperor, and he didn't have the courage of Chu Hao.
Cao Zhengchun knew in his heart that the so-called 'eunuch feudal marquis and worship the prime minister' was casually said by the emperor in order to appease him.
He must not believe it, or he will one day be in a different place.
However, even if he understood all this, he couldn't help but have a trace of fantasy in his heart.
In addition, the depressing atmosphere created by Chu Hao's cold words and sudden silence before made him, a master of martial arts, panic.
"Even if the tiger cub doesn't have fangs, it must not be underestimated......"
After Cao Zhengchun secretly sighed, his brows furrowed inadvertently.
With his cultivation, he could naturally see that Chu Hao's Jingyuan had suffered serious losses, even to the point of endangering his life.
He had to think about what method he should use to replenish Chu Hao's severely lost Jing Yuan and the Shou Yuan that had passed away.
If this matter can be solved, the reward will be great!
In his thoughts, time passed quietly.
When the ugly time came, Cao Zhengchun immediately called Chu Hao in a low voice.
"The Emperor~"
"The Emperor~"
"It's time to be ugly!"
After hearing Cao Zhengchun's prompt, Chu Hao slowly opened his eyes.
He yawned unsatisfactorily, and after being served by Cao Zhengchun and eating a few bites of snacks, he said in a hoarse voice: "There are demons inside and outside the palace, and it will only be dangerous for me to continue to stay in the palace, you go and find out the number of monsters on the way from Qianqing Palace to Chengtianmen, if you can kill them without alarming other monsters, you will kill them directly!" ”
Cao Zhengchun subconsciously raised his head after hearing this, and said with a worried face: "If the slave maid leaves the Qianqing Palace, there is no one waiting by your side, and the slave and maid are worried that there may be monsters coming to harm the emperor!" ”
Chu Hao said with a weak expression: "You can go with confidence, I have my own way to save my life, if it weren't for this, how could I live until now!" ”
After Cao Zhengchun heard him say this, although the worry in his heart did not dissipate, he could only kowtow to receive the order.
When he left, Chu Hao's calm face once again showed a look of anticipation.
"I hope that in the new day, I can get some good things by signing in!"
He whispered softly, using his mind to summon his personal interface.
