Gu Xiangzhu looked at Zhao Ci very closely.

Zhao Huan discovered this during the day.

The recent change in Zhao Ci has impressed Zhao Huan, but after all, this kid has not experienced any storms, and when he heard his own transmission, he still showed a trace of abnormality.

But in fact, this change is not obvious.

was still discovered by Gu Xiangzhu, which is enough to see how closely this woman stares at Zhao Ci.

After the Gongdan Conference, he didn't even return to Wangshu Palace, so he directly took Zhao Ci to talk about the merger and acquisition of the two Danfangs, and he didn't give himself time to meet Zhao Ci alone from beginning to end.

Maybe she thought that this would be able to safely get the art of alchemy in her hands, right?

Still too young!

Zhao Huan raised his eyelids: "Has anyone notified you?" ”

Gonggong Li smiled and said, "The slave has already sent someone to inform you, it shouldn't be long before it arrives!" ”

As soon as the words fell.

A little eunuch hurriedly ran to the door of the imperial study and knelt down.

"Your Majesty, Xiang Yun asks to see you!"

"Come in, please!"

Zhao Huan stood up with a smile and motioned for Gonggong Li to hold him, and the two actually stood at the door together and greeted him from afar.

After a while.

The little eunuch went and returned, followed by a burly figure.

Xiang Yun was immediately flattered when he saw the two of them standing at the door to greet them, and trotted all the way up to greet them.

Zhao Huan smiled: "Cloud, don't come unharmed!" ”

"Hey! Your Majesty, why are you waiting for me outside, isn't this my birthday? ”

Xiang Yun was a rough man at a loss at the moment, and helped Zhao Huan back to the imperial study in a panic: "Sit down!" ”

Help Zhao Huan sit down.

He sat across from him with a loud voice.

After sitting down, I felt a little rude, and stood up again.

Zhao Huan stroked his beard and laughed: "I invited you here today just to drink and catch up with the old days, how can there be so many etiquettes to pay attention to?" Sit down, today you and I are the elders of the children, and if you pay attention to the courtesies of those monarchs and ministers, don't blame me for punishing you for drinking! ”

"Yes! Be! Haha......"

Xiang Yun sat down heroically.

Zhao Huan looked at Gonggong Li: "Big companion, quickly take out the wine that you have treasured, and you can drink it together tonight!" ”

"Yes!"

Gonggong Li was also full of joy, and after taking a jar of wine, he poured three glasses and sat down casually.

Zhao Huan picked up the wine glass and looked at Xiang Yun with a complicated expression: "Cloud!" Speaking of which, you were also a high-spirited young general, but you have been a blacksmith in Linge for more than ten years, have you ever been wronged in your heart? ”

"What's wrong with that?"

Xiang Yun laughed: "I was very confused back then, if it wasn't for your reminder, I almost forgot that she still has her sister and nephew in Linge, if they were bullied, then I would regret it?" ”

Zhao Huan nodded with emotion, raised his glass and said, "Dry!" ”

"!"

The three wine glasses collided, and the three of them drank it all.

Xiang Yun and Gonggong Li also glanced at each other, and their expressions were a little nostalgic.

"Hey......"

Zhao Huan wiped his reddened eyes: "The child has grown up!" ”

"yes!"

Xiang Yun heroically wiped the wine stains on his beard, and couldn't help laughing: "At first, I was worried that kid ruined his future, but I didn't expect to come back like this!" Your Majesty, tell me honestly, did you secretly stuff that medicinal wine into that kid? ”

Zhao Huan didn't answer immediately, but stared at Xiang Yun's eyes for a while.

Only then did he wave his hand and said: "It's true that I spoil that kid, but it's not to the point of pampering too much, after all, it's this kid who fights for himself." Ay! When Tiange left, he didn't leave any heirs, only a sister and a nephew, but he didn't have time to take a look, if he could see Ci'er like this under the spring, he could also be comforted in his heart! ”

Words.

Xiang Yun's bronze eyes almost burst into tears, he didn't answer, just took another sip of wine.

Zhao Huan sighed: "Everyone in the world says that I am the Emperor Wuxian of the first martial arts for thousands of generations. But everyone knows who helped me get these prestige names. Tiange took the elite, broke and killed hundreds of miles all the way, killing the four countries of Longyuan in horror, and even arrived all the way to the old capital of Dayu, what kind of majesty is this?

But as for me, not only did I not keep his food and grass supply line, but I didn't even take him home.

So, how can you be worthy of this false name?

Now the civil and military officials seem to have forgotten that memory, and they are all touted when they mention it, but every sentence of their nonsense is like a knife in Lone's heart.

It's hard to be lonely, but you can't say it!

Sometimes, Lone didn't even dare to go to Tiange's tomb alone.

His nephew didn't teach him well.

If it weren't for today's resignation and walking on the right path, I wouldn't even dare to invite you to this meal. ”

Love to the depths.

The old emperor couldn't help but wipe away his tears.

"Your Majesty, don't say that!"

Xiang Yun was also tearful, and knelt down with a plop: "If it weren't for your personal expedition, not only would the eighth child not come back, but the entire Huailing border defense would probably collapse."

Who would have thought that it was actually a plan by the Four Kingdoms of Longyuan to lure the enemy into depth?

The eighth body died, but he died as he deserved.

If he knew that Da Yu had been stable for eighteen years, he would never blame His Majesty in the slightest!

I only hate, why was I seriously injured at that time!

If I go with me, maybe I can change the eighth child and come back! ”

Time.

The imperial study mourned.

Gonggong Li seems to have fallen into painful memories.

After the mood eased slightly, several people continued to push the cup and change the lamp, although they recalled a lot of past things, the atmosphere was a little dull after all.

"Alas......"

Zhao Huan wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and patted Xiang Yun's shoulder: "Thanks to you all these years, those women in the palace are especially jealous, if you don't sit in the song, Xiaoling and their mother and son, I'm afraid they will be bullied a lot." ”

Xiang Yun was a little ashamed: "Our Xiang family man doesn't know anything, but he has a two-hundred-pound tendon meat, and he is the best at taking care of the home." ”

"Just ......"

Zhao Huan sighed: "It's just that although Xiaoling and her mother's family move around frequently, they ......"

Xiang Yun was helpless: "Your Majesty! Don't embarrass me, Concubine Jing has been going to Yingzhou Xiandao since she was a child, and I haven't seen her a few times. When she came back, her eyes were full of royal property, and she couldn't talk about it. It's a kid who usually likes to go to the blacksmith shop to play, but this thing barely comes! ”

"Yes!"

Zhao Huan had no choice but to nod, as if casually asking, "I've been to your place a lot recently, so I guess I've bothered you a lot, right?" ”

Xiang Yun slapped his thigh and scolded with a smile: "This kid is so troublesome, I want to beat him!" ”

Zhao Huan's eyes lit up slightly: "Oh? What's wrong with you? ”

Xiang Yun scolded and said: "He asked me to use tungsten steel to build a spear for him, and the barrel of the gun has to be filled with lead, as far as his thin arms and legs are concerned, the girls may not be able to play, and they still want to play with guns, isn't this nonsense?" ”

"Young man! I always want to be a hero. ”

Zhao Huan shook his head with a smile, and asked again, "In addition to this gun, did he let you fight otherwise?" ”

Xiang Yun thought for a moment and shook his head: "No, ......"

"Oh......"

Zhao Huan thought for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Recently, this kid has refined the art of refining wine, and it will be put into mass production in a few days, so he should ask you for help, and you will have to worry about it then!" ”

"What are you looking for me to do with this thing about refining wine?"

Xiang Yun was curious: "How can I help as a blacksmith?" ”

Zhao Huan smiled: "Lone means that you can help, but what you said is right, after all, you are a blacksmith." In this way, there happens to be a palace winemaker here in Lone, if Ci'er really finds you, be sure to inform Lone, there is a palace winemaker staff officer, and it can also help Ci'er reduce a lot of burden. ”

"Good!"

Xiang Yun nodded solemnly: "Then I should be quiet when I come, so as not to be seen by the Zongren Mansion and deduct that kid's merits." ”

Zhao Huan nodded with satisfaction: "Yes! ”

After staggering again, Xiang Yun's wine has improved a lot, just like a wine Mengzi, he is pouring his head with his head stuffy.

not only poured himself, but also poured Zhao Huan.

It's that he shouldn't have drunk for a long time, and after a while, he lay on the table and was carried to the side hall by Gonggong Li to rest.

A moment later, Grandpa Li returned.

The eyes were extremely sober, and the drunkenness that was hazy just now had long since disappeared.

Zhao Huan asked, "Big Companion, what do you think of Xiang Yun?" ”

Gonggong Li said with a smile: "General Xiang is as frank and honest as when he was young, and he is sincere and trustworthy to His Majesty!" ”

Zhao Huan nodded.

This is exactly the same conclusion he came to in this regard.

Xiang Yun is still the Xiang Yun of the year, and he still trusts himself very much.

Just like seventeen years ago, he could persuade him to stay in Linge with a single word.

Equally.

This is also the person Zhao Ci trusts the most besides himself, otherwise he would not run away from the Xiang family's shop every time he is bullied.

Gu Xiangzhu was smart, but he couldn't change his arrogant spirit, and made a fatal mistake, only treating the Xiang family as the backing for doing business, but he didn't manage his feelings with sincerity.

And Zhao Huan is also sure that Zhao Ci will definitely find Xiang Yun.

Because the refining process is perfect.

It is also impossible for one person to supply such a large quantity.

It is impossible for him to conflict with Gu Xiangzhu.

But that doesn't mean you can't take the refining process into your own hands.
