Wu Qiutian pretended to be surprised: "Don't you know? Your Majesty the Emperor made a deal with me, asking me to go to Saibei to purchase 10 million catties of cold iron, and ask me to break the sky to escort me at the price of one spirit stone per catty of cold iron, but you didn't know at this time?"

Zhou Xianru smiled bitterly: "Big brother, don't make fun of me, I am the prime minister, although I followed the emperor to break the sky, but I never interfered in military matters, and I was not present when Your Majesty talked to you, so I don't know it's not strange." ”

After spitting out the bitter water, he then asked, "Could it be that the eldest brother has already got the cold iron?"

Wu Qiu Tiandao: "You don't look at who your eldest brother is, where in the world is there something that your eldest brother can't do." ”

Zhou Xianru gasped, he knew that his eldest brother was capable, but he didn't expect it to be so big. The Suyi Gang, the Rising Sun Peak, and the Zhirutang, these forces are all more or less related to the eldest brother. But this is not surprising, there is always a connection between the two, but the Snow Mountain Sect in the bitter cold land of Saibei is a completely different existence from the forces of the Central Plains, but I didn't expect it to have something to do with Wu Qiutian.

He gave a thumbs up and said again and again: "It's still a big brother." ”

Wu Qiutian shook his head secretly, he couldn't tell Zhou Xianru that his relationship with the Snow Mountain Sect was entirely because he worshipped a master in the Yuelu Academy of the Hidden World Sect, and this master accepted an apprentice named Yang Lang thousands of years ago, and he had an extra senior brother named Yang Lang. And this senior brother is also a wonderful and glamorous person, who captured the heart of a certain big man in Saibei thousands of years ago, and that person has a very close relationship with the Snow Mountain Sect.

These things are too complicated to say, even if Zhou Xianru believes what he says, these things are too shocking for Zhou Xianru. After all, he only knew that there were six major forces in the world, but he didn't know that there were also the so-called hidden sects and thousand-year tribulations.

It was getting dark, and the two girls were ready to eat, and the two mothers-in-law from the emperor brought them to the pavilion. Xuanyuan Ziyi walked to the pavilion with red eyes, because Chu Di likes to eat chili peppers, and the taste of chili peppers is extremely strong, and she followed into the kitchen and suffered a lot.

Standing next to Princess Xuelan and laying down her hands, it is not good to hold up the true qi mask to isolate those choking smokes, after all, her younger sister Princess Xuelan is an ordinary person, and she is not good at making herself too high in front of ordinary people.

This is also the result of Princess Xuelan not knowing whether she can eat chili peppers, and deliberately put a lot of chili peppers, if according to Zhou Xianru's usual taste, I am afraid that she is not just red eyes.

Wu Qiutian is used to eating chili peppers, he was born in the land of Chu since he was a child, and he can be regarded as an ordinary person. Looking at the plates of bright red dishes on the table, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

All the dishes were specially learned by Princess Xuelan from the imperial chef in the palace, and she could hand over anything to her subordinates to do, but she would never hand over the cooking and bed things to others.

The four of them sat down, Wu Qiutian took the lead in picking up a piece of chopped pepper fish head and stuffing it into his mouth, as a monk, many times he didn't need ordinary food from mortal dust, but his appetite still had to be satisfied. The sensation of irritation fills his mouth, and the heavy taste of the food makes him feel extremely comfortable.

Xuanyuan Ziyi drew a gourd in the same way, and also put a piece in her mouth, and immediately she felt that something was wrong, it was too exciting, and it made her have the urge to cry.

Xuanyuan Ziyi, who grew up in the upper realm, has been cultivating since he was a child, and the things he eats are all elixirs, and occasionally eating some delicious food is carefully concocted with spiritual herbs and elixirs, how can he have eaten such spicy food.

Xuanyuan Ziyi looked for water to drink, and Wu Qiutian pointed to the salt placed on the dish next to him, which was specially prepared by Princess Xuelan. Because she didn't know if Xuanyuan Ziyi, the sister-in-law, could eat spicy, she put a plate of salt, and if she couldn't eat spicy, she put some salt in her mouth, which could effectively relieve the spicy feeling in her mouth.

Zhou Xianru looked strange: "Boss, sister-in-law can't eat spicy food, why didn't you say it earlier." ”

Wu Qiu Tiandao: "If you marry a native of Chu, you must learn to eat chili peppers and take your time." ”

Xuanyuan Ziyi, who no longer felt any pain, glared at Wu Qiutian: "You are really idle and have nothing to do, you can do such things." If you really have a mind, you will ask the emperor for money. ”

When it came to this topic, Wu Qiutian glanced at Xuanyuan Ziyi, Princess Xuelan is also a transparent person, and she took some dishes and ate them with Xuanyuan Ziyi.

Zhou Xianru said: "Big brother, do you have something to say?"

Wu Qiu Tiandao: "I came to Chu State this time because I want to settle accounts with your emperor, and now, I am a little worried, I don't know what kind of person your emperor is, so I want to ask you, there are major events in Chu State recently, especially when people from other empires come to participate." ”

Zhou Xianru said suspiciously: "Why does the eldest brother ask that?"

Wu Qiutian said with a smile: "Don't blame the big brother for being a villain, the emperor likes the art of imperial weighing, I'm afraid that when the time comes, my matter will be done, and your emperor won't give me the spirit stone." So I want to bring the cold iron over in a public place, so that I can have a guarantee. ”

Zhou Xianru looked strange: "Big brother, you can't help but think too much! The emperor of a country, the Ninety-Five Emperor, how can he repay his debts, it is just some spirit stones, and the emperor is not like this." ”

Wu Qiutian said lightly: "You can't have the heart to harm people, but you can't have the heart to defend people." I have a lot of people to raise, and if I can't get the spirit stone, I'm afraid it will make the sky break unstable. ”

Zhou Xianru didn't speak, he was wondering if the eldest brother's words were feasible, and Emperor Milong should not be in debt, but saying this deal in public would be of great benefit to the Chu State, especially in deterring the other eight countries, it would have a great effect.

He thought for a while and said: "Three days later, Your Majesty's sixtieth birthday, when the other eight countries will come to attend the birthday banquet, if the eldest brother is really afraid that His Majesty will repay the debt, that time is the best time." ”

Wu Qiu Tianluo had already groaned and said, "Okay, I want you to take me in when the time comes." ”

He already had a plan in his heart, Zhou Xianru was unlikely to betray the emperor, for those who knew Confucianism, the idea of loyalty to the monarch has always been deep-rooted, which is one of the reasons why the emperor was able to sit firmly in the position of prime minister after Zhou Xianru became a concubine. As long as the Confucian Hall is in the hall for one day, no matter how powerful Zhou Xianru is, he will definitely not have the idea of letting Chu change his surname.

And the reason why Zhou Xianru said it so happily is because Wu Qiutian has a lot of skills, and he really wants to know that he can know it completely after going out, and secondly, he wants to use this opportunity to have a deterrent effect on the other eight countries.

However, at this time, Zhou Xianru didn't know that Wu Qiutian was ready to blackmail the emperor ruthlessly. And Wu Qiutian didn't know at the moment that at this birthday banquet, the other eight countries were not good at coming, and the good ones were not coming.

After the wine was hot, the two of them took the jar and drank violently, and the two women in the garden also chatted quite happily.

After a night, the two women slept in one room, and Wu Qiutian and Zhou Xianru, two big men, slept on their feet, and the two talked a lot, talking about everything.

Even the secret things in the room, Zhou Xianru also took advantage of the wine to chat with Wu Qiutian a lot, and in the end, the oil lamp was exhausted, the sky was bright, and Wu Qiutian couldn't listen anymore, so Zhou Xianru stopped talking and snored and fell asleep.

To be honest, many times Wu Qiutian is a little envious of Zhou Xianru, if he can, he is really willing to live an ordinary life like Zhou Xianru and be an ordinary person. But since he was born, he was destined to be unable to live an ordinary life in his life, because he carried too many things on his shoulders.

The soul wandering in the sky that night made him clearly know that he was likely to fall into a puzzle from the moment he was born, and behind this puzzle, it is very likely that Lu Donghua wanted to uncover the mystery but never succeeded.

Three days passed quickly, and in the past three days, Wu Qiutian was more chatting with Zhou Xianru, and Zhou Xianru was also cooperative, and he didn't tell Milong about Wu Qiutian's arrival in Wuling when he was in the last dynasty. And Xuanyuan Ziyi, more often than not, is with the child, and it can be seen that she likes the little doll very much.

On this day, it was rainy, Wu Qiutian was dressed as a little servant next to Zhou Xianru, and was about to leave, when the little doll who was already familiar with their husband and wife kept waving to him, probably because of his father's habit, and the whole family had woken up when he was in the last dynasty.

Wu Qiutian didn't have to sleep at all, so he got up early, after all, he had something to do.

The little guy beckoned to him in Xuanyuan Ziyi's arms, and he also made a few grimaces, Xuanyuan Ziyi looked disgusted: "It's been a few days, you are really ignorant as an uncle, and you can't even give the child a meeting gift." ”

Zhou Xianru smiled and said no, Princess Xuelan looked at Wu Qiutian expectantly.

Wu Qiutian's face was panicked, he chose from the storage bag for a while, and found that he really didn't have any gifts in the storage bag, so he simply said cheekily: "Give me my good nephew's things, naturally it can't be too bad, this time I came to do something, your gift is owed first, rest assured, your uncle is not a stingy person." ”

Xuanyuan Ziyi shrugged his nose: "Shameless." ”

Zhou Xianru hurriedly persuaded: "It's okay, sister-in-law, don't worry anyway." ”

The two of them went to the palace, and the palace gate guards were extremely powerful, each with a straight back and a strong body. Wu Qiutian looked left and right like a hillbilly who had never seen the world.

When he was at the door, he was directly stopped by the guards, but fortunately, Zhou Xianru spoke in time: "This is the person Your Majesty wants to see." ”

With the help of the prime minister to speak, naturally everything is easy to do, and the guards did not embarrass them, and directly let them go.

Early in the morning, some people have already begun to prepare for lunch food, after all, there are many people in Daohe, and the dignitaries and dignitaries in the court will come, so it is inevitable to prepare a little early.

After waiting all morning, everyone was so busy that no one noticed that there was a young man in Tsing Yi playing with ants on the ground in a corner of the palace.

At noon, the birthday feast began, because it was raining outside, so it was held in the main hall, the emperor sat on a high platform, and below was a group of congratulatory envoys, as well as important ministers of the court.

After the envoys from various countries finished offering gifts, and without waiting for the eunuchs to sing, Wu Qiu Tianbian stood up and said: "Wu Qiu Tian, the leader of the Heaven Breaking Alliance, came to congratulate him, gave him a pound of cold iron, and asked His Majesty to smile and accept it." In addition, Wu has 10 million catties of cold iron in his hand, which is what His Majesty needs, and now that the cold iron has been delivered, he also asks His Majesty to fulfill his promise and give me 20 million high-grade spirit stones. ”
