The portable magic tower of the Three Kingdoms

"Well, I'll look forward to it." Liu Hong replied casually. Like Liu Tao, he pays attention to 'safety in the bag'.No matter how well-painted the cake is, it's useless if you can't eat it. It's really delicious if you can eat it.

After Liu Hua left, Liu Hong was a little depressed. The Bo Theater would be closed for a month, which meant that this month's monthly money could not be sent to the palace. He probably had to live in a tight situation this month.

Needless to say, the paper mill has just invested and has not yet started to produce, so naturally it cannot make money.However, he has no regrets about giving up the paper mill to Liu Tao.

Recently, many merchants have deliberately raised the purchase price of raw materials, and his paper mill is actually not profitable.If it continues, it will be closed sooner or later anyway, and using bamboo as raw material is not a big problem, as there are bamboo forests everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River.

"Your Majesty..." As soon as the words were spoken, Xiao Huangmen came over and reported on Cai Yan's meeting with Liu Tao again.

Liu Tao had been in the palace for so many days, and he was not in the barracks all the time. After observing the past few days, the ten permanent servants finally chose one person to buy as an eyeliner.

It is estimated that Liu Tao did not realize that one of the soldiers under his command had become the eyeliner of Emperor Han.It's just that this person is also stubborn, and only passes on some news, and keeps silent about many things.It will take some time to completely conquer.

"It's a little interesting to actually cook by myself..." Liu Hong immediately became interested when he heard this.

He really likes the pastry made by Liu Tao now.What else does he cook, but he doesn't know how it tastes?Calculating the time, that is, the day after tomorrow, it seems that we can arrange it...

"Father, the Habayashi Army will be rebuilt for a few days, shouldn't I go and have a look?" Liu Hong said casually.

"The Habayashi Army is His Majesty's old guard, and it's reasonable to go and have a look." Zhang asked Wen Xian to know the elegant meaning, so he replied.

"As the emperor of the Han Dynasty, I should share joys and sorrows with the soldiers... In order to better feel the atmosphere of the barracks, it is natural to stay for dinner, right?" Liu Hong finally said his real purpose.

Chapter 188

"..." Liu Tao's mood is a bit complicated at the moment.

After experiencing life in the army for two days, he came to Lantai on his holiday, memorized a few books according to Cai Yan's recommendation, and discussed Xunzi with her by the way.To be precise, it is a discussion on the concept of materialism.

In the end, Cai Yan realized that the topic was a bit off topic, but the time was about the same, so he had to give up.Unbeknownst to him, Liu Tao was lamenting: At any rate, the topic had been misleading, otherwise it would be too much to discuss Xunzi with her.

After agreeing to come to the barracks for dinner tonight, he took his leave and left.

As a result, not long after returning to the barracks, Qian Fu came to announce the decree, saying that His Majesty would come to inspect the Habayashi Army later.At the same time, I plan to share weal and woe with the soldiers, and will stay for dinner so that Liu Tao can prepare it early.

"When did Cengfan become so righteous?" After Liu Tao sent Qian Fu away, he couldn't help complaining.

"Brother, His Majesty suddenly wants to come over on the holiday..." Lu Yan felt that the situation was strange.The rest day of the military camp is slightly different from that of ordinary officials. Soldiers go out to rest in batches. At this time, the soldiers may not be all there.

"It should be a temporary idea. I think the biggest possibility is that His Majesty is very clear that I will cook for Cai Xiaoshu tonight, so I plan to come over for dinner..." Liu Tao thought for a while and said.

After a pause, he added: "Why did he know about this? After all, there were no outsiders around when I invited Cai Xiaoshu. The possibility of her speaking out on her own initiative is relatively low... Canshan, among us, maybe There is a traitor!"

"Who?" Lu Yan immediately became serious.

"It's easy to identify, at least for me, it's easy!" After Liu Tao finished speaking, he threw a 'Guanglong's Faith' at everyone.The magic of the light attribute quickly covered all the soldiers. Others could not see it, but he could see the process.

Then he quickly noticed that there was a soldier around him, which was not covered.

From the moment he betrayed him, even on the surface, he was still a soldier under his command, but magic no longer recognized it.For a while, he felt that it was impossible for magic to work without his own troops, which made people complain and complain.

Now I find that this thing is actually really useful, and it is really important to select friendly and enemy troops.

After all, no one wants to suddenly find out that the person he trusts has betrayed him unknowingly when he gets hit on the back one day.

"I found it. I will conduct a secret interrogation after tonight...don't be so cruel." Liu Tao said in a low voice, and pointed out the identity of the traitor to Lu Yan and others by the way.

It is a bit regrettable that they are actually the children of the Liu family in Zhuo County, and there is also a family brother's generation there.

However, it is estimated that it is precisely because they are relatives of the Han family. Although the genealogy does not have their names, it is precisely this identity that makes it difficult for them to stand firm.Joining the army, to a large extent, is to get promoted and make a fortune...

Thanks to Liu Yuanqi, he also said that in times of crisis, the ones who would not give up on themselves are these relatives...but after getting rich, they are probably the ones who are most likely to stab themselves in the back.

I can see it clearly, a group of guys who can share adversity but not wealth.

"Okay..." After knowing the identity of the traitor, Lu Yan just nodded.He also didn't expect that the traitor was actually from the Liu family in Zhuo County.Strictly speaking, this should be Liu Tao's 'family scandal'.

"My lord, do you want to re-prepare the ingredients?" Jian Yong asked immediately. He also served as the marching master, and he was also in charge of purchasing.

I have already prepared the ingredients for tonight, and even added some more as requested... The problem is that His Majesty came suddenly, and he was worried that the dinner he had originally prepared might be too crude.

"It's okay, delicious food has nothing to do with ingredients." Liu Tao patted him on the shoulder, signaling him not to be so nervous.Speaking of the steamed stuffed buns and fritters that were sent over earlier, didn’t Liu Hong also enjoy eating them? !

The real problem was that it was hard to make an appointment and plan to have a romantic dinner, but Liu Hong ruined the atmosphere.

Or, is this beating yourself, warning yourself that your relationship with Cai Yan is too close?It is said that Cai Yong lost face to Wang Fu's nephew, Wang Zhi, who falsely accused Cai Yong of slandering the court. The latter was worried that he would not be spared, so he had to flee to Wu County, right?

However, Wang Fu was already trapped and killed by Yang Qiu six years ago.Coincidentally, Yang Qiu's three plans to assassinate Cai Yong, and his father-in-law Cheng Huang also participated, but all failed.

At that time, Cai Yong was almost killed, but he was spared because of the intercession of Lu Qiang, the regular servant of the Central Committee.At the same time, looking at Cai Yong's first half of his life, several promotions were promoted by Liu Hong himself.Several times of crisis, either Liu Hong pardoned, or Zhong Changshi came forward to intercede.

In other words, during that time, Cai Yong actually had the label of the imperial party on his body.Yang Qiu wanted to murder again and again, and if he deducted the disagreement, he was afraid that there would be other meanings. After all, before he trapped and killed Wang Fu, Yang Qiu also had the label of the imperial party on him.

The final result was that Cai Yong fled away from Wu County, and finally realized the difficulty of being caught between the gentry and His Majesty, and began to hesitate.He could stand on His Majesty's side and betray the gentry, but suddenly felt that His Majesty didn't trust him, so he could only choose to avoid it.

Seeing that six years have passed, Liu Hong may not have a way to transfer Cai Yong back, but he probably has no way to take the initiative to come forward, after all, he is afraid that Cai Yong will not believe him.In this way, it is natural to rely on Cai Yan to convey his goodwill.

Wait a minute, that is, Emperor Han, actually knew that Cai Yan was a school secretary for girls in Lantai?It's different if you have a good brain, and you realize so many key parts at once!

According to this logic, Liu Hong suddenly came over to grab a meal... Of course, wanting to eat delicious food is also a factor, but it is more about taking the opportunity to get in touch with Cai Yan, so he just became one of his own.

It's not easy to even eat a meal, but it's not easy to be an emperor in the late Han Dynasty and live to be more than [-] years old.

Thinking of this, Liu Tao didn't talk nonsense, rolled up his sleeves and headed towards the Huotou army camp.If you say you cook by yourself, then you will really cook by yourself tonight.

I was single for more than [-] years before time travel. During the time when I was studying abroad, I ate takeaway until I vomited.

When I started working, I simply bought vegetables and cooked by myself.Fortunately, I usually get off work at six o'clock, and there is a lunch break.So he bought the vegetables back at noon, and started cooking when he got off work in the evening. After a few years, he found that he was quite talented as a chef.

"One serving of braised pork, one serving of leek and egg, one serving of boiled prawns, plus a chestnut chicken soup...perfect!" Looking at the ingredients, Liu Tao was very satisfied.

Especially cinnamon, which already exists in this era and is produced in Guiyang County.Liu Tao uses cinnamon powder instead of cinnamon powder. At the same time, star anise, bay leaves and red dates can be bought in pharmacies.

There is already soy sauce, but there is no rock sugar, and it has been replaced with caramel sugar, which can only be said to be so-so.

"It doesn't matter what reason you come to eat, don't try to run away if you don't eat enough." Liu Tao grinned.

Chapter 189 The Arrival of Liu Hong

"Eh? Your Majesty is coming to inspect the barracks...should I go back first?" In the evening, Cai Yan came over and saw that the atmosphere in the barracks was not right, so he had to ask before he knew about it, so he couldn't help asking Liu Tao.

"It's probably too late to go now." Liu Tao pointed to the distance, where a team was coming.

The leader is naturally Han Emperor Liu Hong, surrounded by soldiers under the command of Wei Wei.At this time, if Cai Yan wants to leave, it will be very conspicuous, which is not very good.

"Then what should we do?" Cai Yan couldn't care less, and asked Liu Tao, since His Majesty was coming, why didn't he inform her in advance.

"There's no need to be so nervous." Liu Tao pulled her over, "Even though I'm waiting in the army, when His Majesty comes over, I'm afraid I know you're here, and I think I'll have something to say to you later. Besides, this is a joint meeting with His Majesty." Don't miss the chance to have dinner."
