To this day, the battlefield of Kyushu is the battlefield of mankind, people with powerful magical powers, people with extreme ambitions, people with deep resourcefulness, and all their life's energy is nothing more than four words - the unification of the world!
......
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Shen Fei and his party have spent a full ten days in Shangqiu City, and the original departure date has been postponed indefinitely, because after discussing with His Royal Highness the Prince, the two agreed that since the prisoner in charge of escorting is dead, it is better to stay where he is and listen to His Majesty's will.
On the eleventh day, His Majesty's decree finally came, and the content was: "Holy Buddha blesses, the emperor's edict says: I have seen the report of the King of Shangqiu City Shouxing and the King of Nantong City, I have seen the report of the Tongtian Sect, the Tongtian Sect members are cruel and murderous, ferocious, and dare to openly violate our territory, and they are actually the number one enemy of the human country. Wu Erlie bravely fought against the enemy, defended the important imperial towns of Shangqiu and Nantong from falling, and maintained the stability of the people from being destroyed. β
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live. β
After bowing, the prince got up to receive the order, and Liu Yuanwen, the deputy head of the inner department who was responsible for conveying His Majesty's will, said with a gentle smile: "Eleventh Prince, you have made a meritorious contribution to protecting the city this time, Your Majesty is happy, and the reward will be rich, if your health is fine, you can hurry up and leave to return to the imperial capital to receive the reward." β
Manager Xie reminded Xiao Wang to set off. While receiving the order, Tuoba Lie took out a silver ticket from his cuff and stuffed it into Liu Yuan's hand, "It's just that Xiao Wang still has something to understand, and he wants to ask the manager for advice." β
Liu Yuan did not shy away from glancing at the silver ticket, and was very happy to see the amount of money, and smiled even brighter: "Lord Wang, just say it directly, the old slave must know everything, and he will say everything." He tucked the silver ticket into his cuff with ease.
"Xiao Wang also sent the felons to the imperial capital for trial, and now the prisoners who were escorted were killed in the war, and the thousand troops responsible for escorting the prisoners did not know what to do, whether to return to the court with Xiao Wang, or repatriate them, and let them return to Nantong to pay for it. Tuoba Lie called himself Xiao Wang in front of this eunuch who was not old, which shows that this person's status is not low.
Liu Yuan's eyes narrowed, his eyes were sly, and he responded: "Your Highness, you are confused, Your Majesty just do what you want, whether it is an old slave or you, it is not easy to speculate." β
"Do it?" Tuoba Lie frowned and groaned, and after a moment, he showed a look of sudden realization, and arched his hand: "Master Xie mentioned it." β
"It's nothing, it's your own cleverness. Liu Yuan spoke softly like a girl. Speaking of which, even if he is also a eunuch, his tone and demeanor are different. Like the chief manager Yue beside Tuoba Lie, probably because he followed the march to fight on weekdays, and was born and died, although he was a eunuch, he revealed masculinity in his gestures, which was no different from a real man. But the person in front of him is different, every move, every smile, is like a woman, which makes people feel a little cold.
After answering Tuobalie's question, Liu Yuan sat back in the carriage and went first: "The old slave took his leave first." β
"Congratulations, Lord Steward. Tuoba Lie remained in his original position until the carriage disappeared from sight, when he finally relaxed a little and turned back into the room. In the past ten days, they lived in this restaurant, and King Xing Tuoba Jun ordered his subordinates to empty the entire restaurant to serve them.
"This Chief Manager Liu doesn't seem to be small?" Shen Fei was unwilling to kneel to the emperor's decree and kept hiding in the dark.
Tuoba Lie closed the door and said, " There are three close ministers around the emperor, one is the Zuo Prime Minister Tuoba Zichu who is responsible for handling national affairs, one is Dongfang Changqing who is responsible for leading the Praetorian Guard, and the other is the great eunuch Liu Yi who is responsible for the trivial affairs of the emperor's life, Liu Yuan is Liu Yi's godson, only forty years old, has served as the deputy director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and is the most likely person to inherit Liu Yi's positionγ β
"The more villain you are, the more you can't offend, Your Highness is right to do this. Shen Fei nodded, praising His Highness's closeness to Liu Yuan was very correct.
Tuoba Lie said: "Although Liu Yuan is greedy for money, he also does things, and he is more able to figure out His Majesty's thoughts, and we don't suffer a loss if we befriend him, what he just said woke up the king." β
"Can Your Highness speak out?"
"This king just asked Liu Yuan, the prisoner who is being escorted now is dead, should he continue to be accompanied by a thousand troops on the way to the imperial capital, or should he not. Liu Yuan replied: Everything is done according to the will of the father. β
"What is Your Highness's understanding?"
"On the way to the imperial capital, not only must a thousand troops follow, but the prisoners must also be escorted as usual, whether dead or alive, or buried with them when they come to rescue their accomplices. β
"I see, it seems that this Liu Yuan is necessary to have a relationship. β
"Yes, if you want to say that the people who understand my father's mind the most, it is still these people. β
Since the country has a eunuch system, the emperors of the country have been inseparable from the company of these unsound people since childhood, and often have deep feelings for them, and the eunuchs can only serve one master for life, so they are also particularly concerned about the emperor, especially close, the two sides hit it off, and the closest and most trusted by the emperors are often the great eunuchs who have accompanied them since childhood.
"Speaking of which, we must not only command the army of 1,000 people on the road, but also pull the corpses of Linghu Hanging Boat and the bird demons, so that His Majesty will know that we are not lying to him. β
Liu Yuan didn't say it explicitly, but it was indeed the safest to do so with the character of his father. β
"After so many days, those broken corpses have long since decomposed and deteriorated and been buried. β
"If you dig it up again, even if it is a white bone, you must bring it back to the imperial capital and show it to your father. β
"It's a heavy taste. β
"Wait a minute, the king will go to the city lord's mansion to meet Uncle Wang, and Daozun will follow. β
"I won't go, Tuoba Jun will definitely feel uncomfortable when he sees me. β
"Well, leave it at that. With that, he left the room.
Shen Fei turned to the house, saw Chu Xie sitting on the window, staring downstairs in a daze, and asked, "Hey, why are you so attentive." β
"Butterflies were blown away by me. Chu Xie showed a thoughtful expression.
"Blown away, the girl who spent so much effort to redeem it, it was just a few days ago that you blew it away, no kidding, Chu Xie. Shen Fei was really surprised, he still remembered that when Chu Xie saw Caidie for the first time, his eyes couldn't move, and he felt that he was really tempted.
Originally, I wanted to blame a few words, but seeing Chu Xie's appearance, he knew that he was also very sad, so he stepped forward and said, "Tell me honestly, do you think Caidie is someone else." β
Chu Xie looked downstairs thoughtfully, his eyes unfocused, "There are some things I don't want to mention." An iron-clad man will be stumped by his children's private affairs, to be honest, Shen Fei really wants to laugh now, reluctantly held back, and said, "Say it, it will be better to say it." β
"If you don't want to mention it, you don't want to mention it, don't bother Uncle Ben. Chu Xie regained his true colors, jumped out of the window, and disappeared into the crowd.
Shen Fei shook his head again and again: "Unreliable guy." β
At this time, someone knocked at the door, "Young master, are you busy, Lan'er has something to tell you." β
Shen Feixin said: What is the matter with me becoming a confidant sister, why is it that early in the morning, there are always people talking to me. Immediately found a stool and sat down, and responded in a deep tone: "Come in, Lan'er." β
Lan'er pushed open the door, looking preoccupied, and after entering the house, she closed the door with her backhand, and pushed it twice harder to make sure that the door was closed tightly before she came over.
When he walked over, his hands were twisted together, his fingers moved, he moved, and he seemed very hesitant. Shen Fei looked at her intently, and saw that Lan'er was dressed as a maid, which was very in line with her identity, and nodded.
Lan'er is not tall, if she stands up straight, she will go to her chest, her long braids are coiled into two heavenly buns, one on the left and one on the right, which is not good-looking, nor stupid, it makes people feel very comfortable, ordinary face without any modification, white jacket and white shoes, the sole is flat, a pair of feet are very large, and at first glance it is a person who has done rough work.
She walked over, her rough fingers twisted into each other, her toes rushing inward, her body bowing forward slightly, and her eyes fluttering with determination, as if she was trying to make up her mind, and she looked a little nervous.
Shen Fei knew that she must have something important to say, so in order to calm her emotions, he took the initiative to get closer and said: "Lan'er, the days with me are not short, this silver is for you, and you have time to go out and buy two sets of clothes and prepare some favorite jewelry." As he spoke, Shen Fei put a silver dollar on the table.
Lan'er waved her hand again and again and said: "The young master and young grandmother have the grace to save my life, and Lan'er is grateful for the reconstruction, and she doesn't dare to ask for too much extravagance." β
"Be obedient, with us, you can't seem too shabby. β
"No, no, Lan'er can't ask for it, the young grandmother often buys things for Lan'er when she goes shopping, and Lan'er can't ask for the young master's silver anymore. "If you take it, it's disobedient. β
"No, no, no, Lan'er is obedient to the young master and young grandmother. β
"Then don't take it yet. β
"This ...... Lan'er thanked the young master. Nervously picking up the silver ingot on the table, Lan'er was terrified and stopped talking.
