Growth Volume Chapter 243: Autumn Fish
Ji Sheng laughed lightly: "Miss Jin is naturally beautiful, no wonder Xiao Chen, an ambitious gentleman, is willing to send troops, but it's a pity that Miss Jin's good years will be buried in the hands of a scoundrel like Xiao Chen." ”
Ling Hu Chu sneered: "It's not so easy to marry my Ling Hu Chu's daughter, I admit that Xiao Chen's defense of Yong'an this time is much beyond my expectations, but if he thinks that this way he can meet my requirements, then he really underestimates me Ling Hu Chu." ”
Ji Sheng frowned and said: "It's just that Xiao Chen said in the letter that the condition for sending troops this time is to marry Miss Jin, in case he uses this to blackmail us ...... then."
Ling Hu Chu said with a cold face: "I will naturally agree to Xiao Chen's conditions, but whether Xiao Chen can leave our southwest border alive depends on his ability." ”
Although Ji Sheng is a martial artist, he also reacted quickly, with a dark smile on his face, Ji Sheng nodded and said, "It's still the prince!" ”
……
Autumn is warm and high in the sky.
Next to the moon-viewing pool in the palace, Xiao Chen wore an idle robe, lazily leaned on the pavilion next to the pool to fish, his straight long hair was casually draped behind his back, and the golden sunlight hit Xiao Chen's almost perfect side face, giving people an extremely strong feeling of handsomeness. Even the maids passing by in the house couldn't help but take a few more looks.
If it weren't for the difference in identity, these women who are in their prime may not be able to help revealing their hearts a long time ago.
The fat man Wu Liang bowed down and stood beside Xiao Chen, and explained Ji Wushuang's recent decisions to Xiao Chen one by one: "Lord Wang, that's probably it, except for replying a letter to Linghu Chu in the name of the prince, Mr. Ji has been focusing more on rectifying military affairs and people's livelihood these days. ”
After reporting the situation, Wu Liang bowed and waited aside, quietly waiting for Xiao Chen to speak.
But Xiao Chen's eyes have been focused on the float in the pond, for fear that a big fish who will miss the bait if he is not careful.
The autumn wind hit, the fishing line swayed slightly in the air, and suddenly, the floating in the water suddenly sank, Xiao Chen's eyes lit up, and he suddenly lifted the fishing rod in his hand upward, and a huge pull instantly came from the bottom of the water, obviously a big fish.
Xiao Chen couldn't slow down the huge thing in the pool, like such a big fish, the first thing is to be patient, you must polish every bit of strength of the big fish in order to hang it, if you choose to pull brute force, the final result is often to be quick but not unreachable.
Fortunately, in the absurd years of Kyoto, Xiao Dajun mastered a perfect fishing trick, a few pulls, and finally a big fish was gently thrown onto the pavilion.
Bending down and throwing the big fish that was still churning in the pavilion to Wu Liang on the side, Xiao Chen clapped his hands lightly and said, "Give the kitchen an order, and I'll make a meal of sauerkraut fish today." ”
Wu Lianghuai touched the big fish and smiled flatteringly: "I'll arrange it." ”
"Wait!" Xiao Chen suddenly stopped Wu Liangdao, who was about to leave: "What did you just say?" ”
Wu Liang repeated his previous words again.
His eyes gradually turned cold, Xiao Chen glanced at Wu Liang fiercely and said, "Who ordered you to spy on Mr. Ji?" ”
Facing Xiao Chen's gaze, Wu Liang at this moment felt like a sharp knife scraping across his face.
Wu Liang bowed down and bowed: "Lord Wang, after all, Ji Wushuang was an outsider, but now he is in charge of my Yong'an power, I really don't feel at ease, so I ......"
"Just a crooked mind?" Xiao Chen asked coldly.
Wu Liang buried his head even lower, not daring to speak.
Xiao Chen snorted coldly and said, "What a great talent Ji Wushuang is, do you think that the things you do are unaware?" ”
"I'm afraid that what you told me today was deliberately passed on to me by others, wanting to spy on others, but you didn't know that you were someone else's puppet, what do you say you have in your pig-like brain?"
Facing Xiao Chen's scolding, Wu Liang looked ashamed, and could only forcibly squeeze out a smile to laugh.
Waving his hand, Xiao Chen said: "Don't move these crooked thoughts in the future, how to deal with Linghu Chu's side, how to develop Yong'an, give full authority to Mr. Ji, what you have to do now is to stretch your neck for me, and wait for Shi Cai's reply with peace of mind." ”
"Yes." Wu Liang bowed respectfully.
"That's right. You just said that Ji Wushuang replied to Linghu Chu with a letter agreeing to send troops? Xiao Chen suddenly asked.
Wu Liang nodded and said: "Exactly, in his letter, in the name of the prince, he said that it is okay to send troops to Yong'an, but the only condition is to let Linghu Chu abide by the marriage contract and marry his daughter Linghu Jin to Yong'an." ”
Xiao Chen frowned slightly: "What about Bai Qi?" ”
Wu Liang shook his head and said, "I don't know about this,"
Xiao Chen nodded lightly, waved his hand and said, "Okay, I know, you go down to get fish first." ”
"Huh!"
"By the way, tell the kitchen to add me another bowl of spicy seeds, autumn is coming, it's time to eat some spicy food to warm up."
"Yes, lord."
Wu Liang trotted all the way out of the pavilion, and Xue Wuxing stepped into the pavilion on his back foot, and took a deep look at the direction of Wu Liang's departure, Xue Wuxing bowed and said:
"Lord Wang, just now, that Ji Wushuang called Zhuang Shu in private."
Xiao Chen sat in the pavilion, looked at the bend of autumn water in front of him, waved his hand and said: "Ji Wushuang's matter, there is no need to report it in the future, let's talk about it, how are the things I asked you to prepare are prepared?" ”
Xue Wuxing bowed his hand and said: "All the itinerary of the prince's trip has been arranged, and the people accompanying him this time are Ouyang Xu, Han Che Gongzi, Du Yingying and Zhang seniors, and this trip is absolutely secret, except for the people I mentioned above, absolutely no one knows the news of the prince's trip." Just ......"
Xue Wuxing wanted to speak and stopped.
Xiao Chen glanced at Xue Wuxing: "If you have something to say, just say it." ”
Xue Wuxing said: "Does the prince really want me to accompany him, although there are old seniors Zhang, there are not many people in the rivers and lakes who can threaten the safety of the prince, but after all, multiple people can prepare more, I ......"
Xiao Chen directly waved his hand to interrupt Xue Wuxing's follow-up words and said: "Now that Yong'an has tens of thousands of more soldiers and horses, although their master general is dead, and most of those with different intentions were also killed that night, but it is difficult to guarantee that there are really no traitors who are ready to attack, you are the commander of the Black Armor Army, and you are deterring the Black Armor Army, I can rest assured." ”
Xue Wuxing lowered his head, and said unwillingly: "Then do you want me to arrange for some elites in the army to accompany the prince secretly?" ”
Xiao Chen shook his head: "Jianghu affairs, where is your gang of rough men who can only cut off people's heads with knives and soldiers?" With Grandpa Zhang and his Qunying Pavilion here, you can rest assured. It's just that I'm not in the house for a while, you must keep an eye on Wu Liang, this kid, he always likes to be smart, and he doesn't worry about Ji Wushuang, I'm afraid that he will be played around by someone at that time, and he will make trouble for me. ”
Xue Wuxing, who had always been unaccustomed to Wu Liang, snorted coldly and said: "Don't worry, isn't he still wearing the hat of the deputy commander of the Black Armor Army, I will directly transfer him to the barracks with a military order when the time comes, and it is expected that he will not be able to make a splash." ”
Xiao Chen smiled with relief and gently patted Xue Wuxing's shoulder, sure enough, it was Xue Wuxing who was reassuring at a critical time.
As the sun set, after a period of processing in the kitchen, the big fish that was caught by Xiao Chen one moment became a fragrant Chinese meal the next moment.
Xiao Chen deliberately called everyone in the house over, it was a reunion dinner before leaving the rivers and lakes, at the dinner table, Du Yingying, Di Xiang, and Sun Simiao were sitting together, and on the other side were Ouyang Xu, Meng Yang, and Xue Wuxing. Xiao Chen sat in the main seat, beside his son Han Che, and everyone was happy, but Ji Wushuang was missing.
Xiao Chen glanced sideways at Wu Liang and said, "What about Mr. Ji?" ”
Wu Liang said: "I have personally invited Mr. once, but he said that he was busy with official business and had no time to eat. ”
Zhang Gu on the side also nodded lightly and said: "That Mr. Ji has also been fortunate in the past few days, and has issued several orders to rectify military affairs and people's livelihood, but Yong'an has too many stubborn diseases, I think he hasn't eaten a mouthful of good food for several days." ”
Xiao Chen nodded lightly and muttered, "Forget it, this is also the reason why I, the King of Yong'an, do not fulfill my responsibilities." ”
Smiling helplessly, Xiao Chen pointed to the fatty sauerkraut fish on the table and said, "Divide it in half, and I will personally send it to Mr." ”
……
Yong'an Palace, the door is open, since Ji Wushuang entered this place, it has become the first place to open the door and the last place to close the door in the palace every day.
Xiao Chen walked into the hall with the fish and food, looked at Ji Wushuang, who was still lying on the table, and said with a smile: "Sir, it is said that the fish in this autumn are the fattest, I deliberately fished one from the moon viewing pond, and originally invited Mr. to have a meal with the staff of the house, but I didn't expect Mr. to be so busy, so I could only send it in person." ”
Raising his head, Ji Wushuang glanced at Xiao Chen with a little surprise. Then he said thoughtfully: "It's good to invite everyone to dinner, what kind of arrangement does the prince seem to have?" ”
Putting the fish and food on the table next to Ji Wushuang, Xiao Chen sat down on the steps of the main hall again, and said with a dumb smile: "Mr. Don't tell you, I'm going to travel the rivers and lakes this time." ”
Ji Wushuang put down the pen in his hand, held the chopsticks and took a bite of fish meat in his mouth, and then said lightly: "It seems that the prince has solved the problem of silver." ”
Xiao Chen smiled lightly: "Not yet, but it should be pretty much the same." ”
Ji Wushuang didn't delve into this issue, turned the conversation and asked, "Where is the prince going to go?" ”
"I had a dream of rivers and lakes when I was a child, but it's a pity that I entered Kyoto when I was young, and I was trapped in Kyoto for more than ten years. Now that I finally have a husband, I also want to take some time to walk around the rivers and lakes. Xiao Chen suddenly turned his head to look at Ji Wushuang and said, "Didn't Mr. Ji already decide to send troops to aid Ling Hu Chu?" I was thinking, or my first stop would be to the Southwest. ”
The fish meat that Ji Wushuang picked up was slightly stunned in the air, and then said slowly:
"Good!"
