Chapter 269: Huo Xiu (Two in One)

When Chu Hao rested last night, he did not notify the officials to participate in the court meeting, so he slept directly until noon the next day.

Because he had a good night's sleep after a long time, after the two little eunuchs waited for him to wash and change clothes, he rewarded the two little eunuchs with one or two silver each.

With the silver in his arms, the two little eunuchs, whose legs were trembling, immediately showed greater enthusiasm.

They were all ordinary people before, and they did not grovel to serve people, and there have always been rumors among the people that the palace would kill the eunuchs and palace maids at will, which made them tremble all day long after selling themselves into the palace.

For fear that one accidentally makes a mistake and will be beaten to death.

Now that they have only been in the palace for a month, these eunuchs have also been forced to learn to read words and feelings.

At present, with Chu Hao giving him two silver taels, a eunuch with a handsome face and only about sixteen years old, hesitated for a long time in his heart and asked courageously, "Your Majesty, do you need to prepare lunch?" ”

Chu Hao glanced out the window and saw that the sun was in the middle of the day. He was just about to nod his head, but his heart suddenly moved, and asked, "Is the Empress Dowager's lunch ready?" ”

The little eunuch said respectfully: "Shang Shanjian's people have already sent lunch to the Empress Dowager. ”

Chu Hao nodded and said, "Inform Shang Shanjian to send my lunch to Changchun Palace, and I will dine with the Empress Dowager today." ”

After the two little eunuchs glanced at each other, one of the eunuchs bowed down and retreated, and walked towards Shang Shanjian quickly.

In the Changchun Palace, after Li Qiushui, who was preparing to eat, received the news that Chu Hao was going to dine with her, a ray of joy flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked.

"Wu Jue (Wu Cong), put those dishes in the food box again, so that they don't get cold."

After hearing her instructions, a month after entering the palace, Wu Jue, who became more and more delicate and moving, quickly put the food that had just been placed on the table into the food box.

After a while, Shang Shanjian's eunuch sent in two more food boxes.

Immediately afterwards, Chu Hao and Cao Zhengchun also came to the Changchun Palace.

"The grandson greets the imperial grandmother."

Chu Hao came to the front and back of the table and bowed respectfully to Li Qiushui, who was already sitting on the stool.

After Li Qiushui gave Wu Jue a look, he wiped his hands with a handkerchief and said with a lazy expression: "How can the emperor have the leisure to accompany the old man to dine today?" ”

As she spoke, Wu Jue carefully placed the food in the food box on the table.

She entered the palace for Chu Hao, but after being trained by Li Qiushui for a month, she didn't know what she thought in her heart, but on the surface, she didn't dare to look at Chu Hao more, and all her movements were in order.

After placing all the food in the food box on the table, she bowed to Chu Hao and Li Qiushui, and then retired with the empty food box.

Cao Zhengchun stood on the side of the two with a plate, and put a little bit of each dish in the plate in his hand with a fast child, and tasted it.

Chu Hao also smiled at this time and said, "Imperial grandmother, don't make fun of your grandson, didn't you just come back from outside." ”

After Li Qiushui snorted angrily, he no longer bothered with him. just shook his head and said: "As the saying goes, 'If you don't belong to your family, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are', and after dealing with the government for a few days, I realized that Daqian has both internal and external troubles." ”

Chu Hao nodded respectfully and said, "Please ask the imperial grandmother to mention something." ”

Li Qiushui nodded, and said: "In the old man's view, there are nine internal worries about the big cadres, one is the five turbidity catastrophes, the second is that there are not enough officials, the third is the waste to be revived, the fourth is the farmland is wasted, the fifth is that the monarch has no queen, the sixth is that the power does not go to the countryside, the seventh is that the officials are not well governed, the eighth is that the people are not in harmony, and the ninth is that the roads are impassable. ”

Chu Hao looked up in surprise when he heard this, but he didn't expect that Li Qiushui only took four or five days to see the internal problems of Daqian clearly.

Then he nodded lightly and said: "The matter of the Five Turbidity Tribulation, there are already eyebrows, and it will be calmed down after a while, the affairs of the county officials, Sun Er has let the masters of the Four Seas Dragon Clan take charge of the counties, with them, the prefectures and counties will soon be able to restore peace." In a few years, it will be possible to hold Enko. ”

"The abandonment of farmland and the need to rebuild all kinds of wastes, and even the discord of the people, can also be solved when the five turbidity catastrophes are calmed down."

"If the road is impassable, you can hand it over to the Four Seas Dragon Clan."

"They are huge, and they have supernatural powers, and it is easy to move mountains and pave roads."

"As for the ...... without a queen"

Chu Hao rubbed his eyebrows when he said this, shook his head and said, "Let's talk about it after the previous things are dealt with and the country is stable." ”

Li Qiushui nodded lightly, since Chu Hao had a good plan, it was inconvenient for her to mention it more, and continued the topic just now, and said: "As for the external troubles, Daqian offended all countries when he established his own country, not long ago, you sent Chen Qingzhi to capture tens of thousands of elite soldiers of Daxun, and sent people to intercept the Haishi of Da Zhou, and also killed their Zhenhai Bo and Zhenhai King, and even the treasure of Da Zhou's Zhenguo was robbed by you. ”

"When the new emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty succeeds to the throne, he will definitely move troops against the great cadres, and you must be prepared in your heart."

Chu Hao nodded slowly, thinking in his heart that the national fortune was still a little short, and when Zhu Youqi, the Emperor of the Xuanming Sect, moved the headquarters of the Xuanming Sect to Jinling City, and the major masters of the sect gathered in Jinling, he would find trouble with the Great Zhou.

This trip is not to destroy the country, but to plunge the Great Zhou into civil strife, with the assistance of twelve golden people, these martial arts masters are enough.

While he was thinking about this, Li Qiushui continued: "In addition, the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom also needs to pay attention to it, the eight sons of the Ape Emperor were forcibly sealed by you, and the former military department Shangshu Weiqi fell into their hands again. ”

"If you are not ready to give up the Ao worship, you will send someone to the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom to communicate with them earlier."

Chu Hao nodded lightly, if Li Qiushui hadn't mentioned it, he would have forgotten about Wei Qi.

At this time, Cao Zhengchun also finished eating the food on his plate, bowed to Chu Hao and Li Qiushui, and then retreated.

His appearance was to test the poison, and with his innate peak, the cultivation that was about to break through the Grandmaster Realm, he only needed to swallow the food in his stomach to detect it.

After Cao Zhengchun left, Chu Hao and Li Qiushui stopped talking and quietly ate the lunch sent by Shang Shanjian.

After a while, when they finished eating, Wu Jue came in and cleaned up.

Li Qiushui held a cup of tea, and while scraping the tea foam with the tea lid, he said: "The old man still controls a force in his hands, called Tsing Yi Building, which was founded in his spare time in the past, but I didn't expect Huo Xiu, the owner of Tsing Yi Building, to have some skills, and in recent years, Tsing Yi Building has developed into one hundred and eight floors of Tsing Yi. ”

When she said this, her eyes showed a rare look of fierceness, and she said coldly: "Huo Xiu was once a member of the Yulin Army, and when he saw that he was smart and knowledgeable about current affairs, he sent him out of the palace to found Tsing Yi Lou. Over the years, the power of Tsing Yi Lou has spread all over the world, and even there are Tsing Yi Lou in the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom. ”

"And Huo Xiu's name of 'the richest man in Kyushu' made him a little lost, and the old man sent someone to convey orders to him, and only three out of ten times received orders."

The sneer on the corner of Li Qiushui's mouth became a little stronger, and he turned his hand and put a piece of green jade seal the size of a walnut on the table, and said: "I heard that Wang Sunflower handed over the control method of the Xuanming Sect to you, and the name of the Xuanming Sect is not weaker than that of Tsing Yi Lou, but there are a lot of miscellaneous fish in the sect, but there are many benefits, you let them pay more attention to Tsing Yi Lou." ”

"This jade seal is a means of contacting Huo Xiu, if there is an order that needs to be ordered to him, stamp it with this jade seal on paper and give it to him with a pigeon."

After speaking, she looked at Wu Jue on the side and said, "You give the cage of pigeons to Cao Zhengchun." ”

"Yes."

Wu Jue replied respectfully and withdrew.

After she left, Li Qiushui's eyes showed coldness, and said: "After finding Huo Xiu, take off his head, since the owner of Tsing Yi Building is disobedient, change to an obedient one!" ”

Chu Hao picked up the jade seal and played with it, and said with a smile: "Grandmother Huang, don't worry, Huo Xiu won't be able to jump for long." ”

"Yes."

Li Qiushui nodded lightly, a smile appeared on his face again, and his eyes at Chu Hao also showed a hint of humor, and said: "I heard that there is a Wangjiang Tower on Zhuque Street, which has been a bit lively recently, so I will accompany the old man out of the palace to have a look in my spare time." ”

Chu Hao smiled bitterly and nodded, and then chatted with Li Qiushui for a while, then got up and retired.

After returning to the Qianqing Palace, he asked Cao Zhengchun to inform Hai Dafu, the governor of Dongchang, and Zuo Zixiong, the commander of Jinyiwei, to enter the palace to meet him, and then used the Xuanming Order to contact Zhu Youqi to inquire about the transfer of the Xuanming Sect.

After learning that Zhu Youqi and the major masters of the Xuanming Sect had now arrived in Jinhua County and would come to Jinling City in a few days, he collected the Xuanming Order.

After a while, Hai Dafu bowed his head and walked in.

"The old slave is rich and rich, see the emperor."

When he came in, Chu Hao was sitting at a table with a cup of tea in his hand.

After Chu Hao lowered his head and took a sip of tea, he put the tea bowl aside, looked at Hai Dafu, and said, "How many people are there in the East Factory at present?" ”

Hai Dafu said respectfully: "Your Majesty, there are currently more than 400 people in the East Factory. ”

Chu Hao nodded lightly and said, "Did Wang Sunflower inform you of my intentions?" ”

Hai Dafu bowed his head and said respectfully: "The emperor asked the old slave to pay attention to Ming Wang Zhu ignoring it. ”

Chu Hao smiled and said, "Even Wang Sunflower can find out some information that Zhu ignored, you won't have it in your hands, right?" ”

Hai Dafu said calmly: "The information of the four famous arrests has been obtained by the old slave from Li Siyuan's mouth, but the old slave has already sent someone to inquire about the information about the thirty-six Tiangang and the seventy-two earth-shattering. ”

Chu Hao stilted his legs, picked up the tea bowl again, and when he lowered his head and was about to blow the tea foam, he said, "Tell me, what have you heard?" ”

Hai Dafu said respectfully: "The four famous arrests are spread all over the world, and they obey the orders of the 'Zhuge Shenhou', and the real name of Zhuge Shenhou is Zhuge Zhengme, and the word is Xiaohua." He was also the Taifu of the Dali Dynasty, because of his outstanding merits, he was named the "Sixth and Fifth Shenhou" by the Dali Emperor, and was in charge of the 180,000 Imperial Forest Army in the Yanjing Shenhou Mansion in Jizhou. This person is said to be bright and upright, with extraordinary wisdom, and his martial arts cultivation has already topped the world, reaching the pinnacle, reaching the realm of martial arts masters, and no one else can match. ”

"Ever since Zhu Yan pretended to be a big departure from the people with a giant ding, he has disappeared."

"And the four famous catches that he personally made are ruthless, iron hand, chasing life, and cold-blooded."

"Ruthless, formerly known as Sheng Yayu, also known as Cheng Yayu, his person is as beautiful as a flower, thoughtful, in addition to being extraordinary in the technique, he can also understand the language of birds, and the people of the rivers and lakes call it a big head catcher."

"When he was young, his family was tragically wiped out, resulting in the loss of both legs and damage to his liver and intestines, Zhuge Shenhou raised him and adopted him as a disciple, the earliest person among the four."

"Although ruthless can't practice internal strength, he has practiced the world's best light skills and hidden weapons in a wheelchair, and is known as 'walking thousands of miles without legs, and a thousand hands can't be defended'."

Chu Hao nodded lightly, as far as he knew, ruthlessness seemed to have a special function, and he could know people's hearts.

This matter should be her biggest secret, and it is normal for Hai Dafu not to inquire about it.

Hai Dafu continued: "Tie Shou's original name was Tie You Xia, he was a famous catcher in his early years, and later took the art to worship Zhuge Shenhou as his teacher, and was the second apprentice of Zhuge Shenhou, and the people in the rivers and lakes called 'Second Master', and his internal strength has reached the peak of the realm, and it is rumored that he is already the realm of the grandmaster. There are few rivals in the rivers and lakes, and he is the one with the deepest internal strength among the four. ”

"One year, Dali caused the big water to sweep a village in the west of Yanjing because of the demon dragon, and the iron hand lifted 10,000 catties of copper wall to resist the flood with the strength of one person, saving thousands of victims.

"Iron hands are also famous from the world because of this matter, a pair of iron hands are invulnerable, poison is invulnerable, hard can break gold and gravel, and can be as soft as a spring breeze."

"When Li Siyuan talked about this person, his face was full of admiration, only that he was gentle and polite, honest and humble, thoughtful, chivalrous, open-minded, heroic and open-minded, and he couldn't wait to use all the words he knew to praise people on this person."

Chu Hao smiled when he heard this, Li Siyuan likes to deal with people like Tieshou the most, and it is normal to praise more.

Hai Dafu continued: "Chasing Life's original name was Cui Liushang, who became famous in the rivers and lakes in his early years, and later took the art to officially worship Zhuge Shenhou as his teacher, and was the third apprentice of Zhuge Shenhou, and the oldest of the four. ”

"Because I was born with internal injuries, I need to take medication all year round. It is also due to the side effects of the drug that its upper body is not focused, and it is not easy to practice boxing, so it is found a new way to practice the exquisite leg method, and its legs are like weapons that can be hard or soft, long or short. ”

"He is unkempt, addicted to alcohol, and has created a stunt that can lock wine in his throat and spew out to hurt the enemy at a critical moment. He is good at tracking and can quickly and accurately detect the hiding place of his target, so it is difficult for anyone who targets him to escape. ”

When he said this, he glanced up at Chu Hao, and his voice suddenly lowered.

"According to the report from the Dongchang spies, the pursuit of life has been drunk and overnight in Wangjiang Tower every day in recent days."

Chu Hao narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and said, "Go on." ”

Hai Dafu lowered his head and said: "Cold-blooded, formerly known as Leng Lingqi, is the fourth apprentice of Zhuge Shenhou, the youngest among the four, and the latest to start. It is said that he was abandoned at an early age and raised by wild wolves. He is a taciturn man, and he is good at wielding an unsheathed, thin nameless sword, and his swordsmanship is superb. ”

"The four of them were attacked by demons on the way to Beijing, and they were rescued by Zhu Wuzhi, and in order to repay their kindness, they temporarily stayed by Zhu Wuzhi's side."

"The old slave thinks that if the ruthless legs and the internal injuries of chasing life can be healed, these four people should leave Zhu Ignore and join the imperial court."

Chu Hao nodded lightly when he heard this, and said, "It's okay to get in touch, even if they agree to join the imperial court, don't let them leave Zhu Ignorance, and continue to stay as they are." ”

"There are four of them here, if Zhu Wuzhi has any ideas, you can also find out as soon as possible."

Hai Dafu nodded slightly, and then spoke: "In addition, Yan Chixia and Feng Qingtian have both woken up, but the Sword Saint is still unconscious, Yan Chixia has seen the minions a few times recently, and begged the court to save the Sword Saint." ”

"And the ghost king Nine-Tailed Fox in the prison has always wanted to ask to see you, saying that there is something important to report, and the slave went to see her once, and she said that she would only inform you."

Chu Hao pondered for a moment when he heard this, and said, "After the court meeting tomorrow, I will go to see the Sword Saint, and after seeing the Sword Saint, I will go to see the Ghost King Nine-Tailed Fox." ”

With that, he waved his hand at Hai Dafu.
