Tian Daming, Xiu Yuan closed the book, but his mind was still a little uncertain. Either it's a lack of sleep, or because of what happened last night, I always feel restless. I don't know why, that woman does everything, he can tolerate it.

Not long after I sat down, I heard the chamberlain knock on the door and said, "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from the front, and the messenger has been waiting all night." ”

Xiu Yuan said softly, "Go and make me a pot of tea, and then, let that Cai envoy go back with the map." ”

A hint of surprise flashed in the waiter's eyes, obviously surprised, he didn't even ask, and he knew that it was the envoy of Cai Guo who came. He didn't expect His Majesty to refuse so decisively. After all, the state of Chu is weak, and the odds of winning are still not great when competing with the state of Xi. In doing so, His Majesty is cutting off his own back road. If you don't seize the opportunity, then Cai Guo will be a lesson from the past. He couldn't understand the thoughts of this young majesty. He sighed, answered, and slowly retreated, halfway through, but he heard Xiu Yuan say softly, "By the way, I asked the imperial chef to boil a pot of fresh white fungus soup." His voice was not loud, it sounded more like babbling. But the chamberlain knew that he was telling himself, His Majesty is twenty-two this year, has been on the throne for eight years, and has never been close to women. In the court of the Chu State, there is no queen, even a concubine. Sometimes these minions will also discuss in private, discussing whether he is not good at something, or he does not like women, and has a habit of breaking his sleeves. But not only is he not close to women, but he is also not close to men. He is always so tall and arrogant, indifferent to everything, after arranging all the affairs of the court, he reads quietly, or wanders between the mountains and rivers, so he does not eat the fireworks of the world, his gas posture, people always have an illusion, thinking that he is a god in the sky.

And now, since the eldest princess of the Xi Kingdom, Changsun Hui, came, His Majesty is like a mortal pulled down from the altar, he will also be troubled, he will frown, and he will have his own joys, sorrows, and sorrows. The guards in the palace saw His Majesty outside the eldest princess's room in a daze more than once. Perhaps, in the near future, they will have a queen in the Great Chu Kingdom. Thinking of this, the chamberlain couldn't help but cover his mouth and smile. The eldest princess of the Xi Kingdom is really beautiful, it is said that she looks the same as the first beauty of the Xi Dynasty back then, even if he is a eunuch, he can't help but take a few more looks, not to mention His Majesty, who is in good health.

Xiu Yuan saw that the waiter quietly retreated, frowned, and wanted to pick up the book to read it again, but he couldn't read it. Before he could calm down, there was another urgent report outside.

"Newspaper. There was a voice outside, but there was no follow-up. The voice was high-pitched and loud, and the announcement dragged on for a long time. Xiu Yuan knew that it was an urgent report from the front line, so he didn't wait for the summons of the inner servant, and said lightly, "Come in." ”

It was a young forward general who entered, and as soon as he entered, he was mixed with the miasma of the southwest, as well as the damp water vapor, and the smell of wind and dust. He didn't wait for Xiuyuan to ask, so he knelt down directly and said, "Your Majesty, we led the army to meet the Xi ** team in the middle reaches of the Nu River, and the boss couldn't dodge, so I had to start a war with the Xi ** team." ”

Xiu Yuan didn't ask about the results, but just held the spring tea that the waiter had just brewed in the palm of his hand, then sniffed it, and said softly, "It seems that the plans of both sides to advance Jiangzhou are going to run aground." ”

The forward general replied sonorously, "Yes, Your Majesty, in the fierce battle between us and the Xi army, each suffered heavy losses, and then Cai Jun took advantage of the fire to rob, and we had no choice but to retreat to the Nu River." The army also retreated to Dujiangyan. ”

Xiu Yuan said lightly, "It seems that you have to change your strategy, if you go on like this with Xi Jun, it will be Cai Jun who is cheaper." They didn't waste a single soldier, but let us be the vanguard, blocking the army of Xiguo. ”

The forward general was slightly relieved when he heard Xiu Yuan say this, "The commander of our army said the same thing." ”

Xiu Yuan smiled lightly, of course he knew what the boss thought, otherwise how could he send a very important forward general to report in person. If the manager has the heart to fight again, how can he send the striker away. Now that he has sent the striker back to report the news to himself, he must not want to increase the unnecessary casualties, and let Cai Guo reap the benefits of the fisherman. He still said lightly, "Then let them retreat to the Nujiang River first, and if they can fight, they will fight, and if they can't, they will withdraw to the Chu State." Don't have any more conflicts with Xiguo in the future. ”

The forward general admired the commander's understanding of the King of Chu on the one hand, and admired the King of Chu's quietness and understanding on the other. After all, the boss is reluctant to fight against Xiguo, and if it is spread out, he will only end up with a reputation of being greedy for life and afraid of death, and now this decision is made by His Majesty, which is naturally much simpler, and the purpose of his trip has been achieved, and he also showed a faint smile, and said loudly, "Obey." ”

Xiu Yuan's expression remained unchanged, and he only said softly, "Go back and recover your life." ”

The forward general answered with a loud voice, and got up and walked out. Wenchen and military generals are different, when they go out, Wenchen is gentle and elegant, and the military generals are magnificent, but they have their own style.

When Xuan Che woke up, it was already noon. She only remembered that Chu Ning seemed to have pressed her down on the couch yesterday and did something, and she seemed to be in reverse, pressing him under her and kissing him. Xuan Che didn't know if what was in his mind was true or not, and he was supposed to be true.

When she woke up now, she only felt a little dizzy in her brain, as if someone had stirred her brain, and she was dizzy when she moved, and she wanted to vomit. But fortunately, she was early, it was only noon, and she still had time to implement what she had planned yesterday. In other words, if he really kissed Chu Ning yesterday, maybe things would have gone more smoothly. She remembered that he was very shy, if she really despised him, he wouldn't come over in a few days, and Xuan Che naturally didn't worry that his plan would be discovered.

As soon as she was about to get up, a caring and gentle maid greeted her, dressed her on a coat, and then said softly, "It's good that the girl is awake, Your Majesty ordered someone to make white fungus soup for the girl early in the morning, and it has been hot six times since the morning." ”

Xuan Che nodded, "Very good, it just so happens that I'm hungry too." ”

The maid smiled lightly, "Does the girl wash up first or drink the soup first?"

Xuan Che stretched his waist, "Let's drink soup first, I'm hungry." ”

When the maid heard this, she answered, and then bent down, wanting to put on shoes for Xuan Che, but she never thought that she was covered by a cold hand on her forehead, and the maid thought that she had offended her, so she knelt down and pleaded guilty, but Xuan Che blocked her with her hand, and said lightly, "All beings are equal, you don't have to do these things for me." ”

The maid was stunned for a moment, but Xuan Che had already bent down, put on her shoes, and then walked to the table with her clothes half-open, picked up the warm white fungus soup on the table, and drank it all.
