Adviser should be self-improvement

Chapter 55 [Catching Insects]

The sharp arrow left the string, and with the sound of piercing through the air, it hit the apple a hundred paces away.

The apple is the size of a hand, with thin and crystal-clear skin. It should feel extremely refreshing to the touch, but the person holding it is dripping with cold sweat, his legs are shaking uncontrollably, and his eyes are straight, even if the juice from the blast is dripping. The whole face did not move a step.

A servant came over and took away the apple that was shot as if nothing had happened, and replaced it with another intact one. He was just about to leave when he suddenly noticed that the apple had a slight downward trend. Hold steady.

The attendant showed no sympathy, but warned sharply in his ear: "If you want to survive, take it!"

The man was shocked by the shout, and he glanced down, his complexion became paler, and the fingers of both hands pressed against the edge of the apple, stabilizing it firmly on top of his head.

Seeing that there were no other problems, the attendant quickly moved away with the apple pierced by the arrow, the juice dripped down his fingers, and small ripples appeared in the blood that had not completely dried up on the ground.

It was only a few breaths of time wasted, but the old slave who was looking at this side was still eager. Finally, when the attendants left, the old slave quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and handed the bow and arrow hands to the man in Chinese clothes who was playing with the bow and arrow beside him. Complimented: "The prince is in good condition today, and he will definitely be able to hit ten grand slams."

The man in Chinese clothes gave a absent-minded hum, but he didn't put the arrow on the bow, he just picked up the arrow, and the arrow body was erected in his hand, the iron point coincided with the person holding the apple, and said meaningfully: "Quiet!" A target is not as interesting as a live target."

The old slave shook his hand.

Just then a guard ran in, knelt down on one knee and said, "I want to report to the lord, a group of soldiers and horses were found coming to Xiangyang five miles away, and some of them were holding a flag with the word 'Min'. of the rebels."

The man in Chinese clothes squinted: "How many of them are there?"

"It looks less than three thousand."

A little bit of interest, the face of the man in Chinese clothes was instantly filled with boredom, he raised his bow and arrow, and stretched it to the full: "3000 people dare to come to Xiangyang, maybe they were beaten into a drowning dog by some family, and ran here for their lives. That's all. , send someone to drive them to the Northwest Road, and have some fun for the Luoyang prefect."

"Yes!"

"Wait first." The man in the fancy dress suddenly changed his subject and put down his bow and arrow, "Have you informed Gongsun Ji about this?"

"This... I met Mr. Gongsun on the road."

"Oh?"

Seen by the smiling eyes of the man in Chinese clothes, his whole body turned cold, and the guard hurriedly confessed: "Mr. Gongsun said, please be sure to keep the leader of the rebel army in Xiangyang."

The smile in the man's eyes was even deeper: "Then did you tell me just now?"

"Subordinates...no."

"Didn't you say that? Yes, I remember you never said that."

The man in Chinese clothes slapped his forehead, and suddenly pointed the bow and arrow in his hand at the guard's head. With the sound of sharp arrows piercing into the flesh, the guard, who didn't even have time to scream, fell to the ground with his eyes wide open.

The bow and arrow were casually thrown to the stunned old slave next to him, and the man in fine clothes straightened his clothes slowly, with a smile on his face: "Go to Commander Luo, let him lead the troops to stop the rebel army, and then go and inform Gongsun Ji to come see me , In addition, clean up here."

The old slave nodded quickly: "Yes, my lord."

Chu Huaiqing always felt that something was wrong with his lord these days, but he couldn't explain what was wrong specifically.

Putting the file away, Qin Ce said, "Thank you sir for clarifying the confusion. If it wasn't for sir, I'm afraid Ce would have to be stuck on this issue for a few more days."

"No need to be polite, Your Highness."

Seeing Qin Ce standing up, Chu Huaiqing paused, and asked tentatively, "Since it's getting late, Your Highness might as well stay and finish dinner before leaving."

If it was Qin Ce in the past, he would definitely agree to it immediately, put the rest of the trivial matters aside without hesitation, and never let go of any opportunity to be with Chu Huaiqing, but now Qin Ce smiled and politely declined: "No, there are still many things that have not been resolved, especially the people of Qingzhou who are in panic all day after Xu Zhen's death. If they are not appeased as soon as possible, they may cause trouble."

Hearing this, Chu Huaiqing didn't want to continue to stay, but thought of Qin Ce's way of not touching the ground these days, busy before and after, and persuaded: "Although that is the case, Your Highness, don't be too tired, after all, your body is important."

Qin Ce responded with a smile, behaved decently, and there was no abnormality: "Thank you for your concern, sir, and Ce will pay more attention."

Chu Huaiqing said: "Then...Your Highness, go slowly."

Qin Ce didn't look back even when he left, and closed the door, Chu Huaiqing leaned against the door, recalling Qin Ce's unhesitating appearance just now, he felt a little disappointed.

This is the third time the lord has refused to eat with him. In the past, it was at most once, and he would come to the door after a few days, but these days...

Maybe the protagonist is really too busy.

Rubbing between her brows and thinking for a long time, she could only use this sentence to comfort herself. Chu Huaiqing sighed, and reflected on whether she had been too clingy to the lord recently. By chance, the cook came to ask: "Doctor Chu, the food is ready. , can you serve it up now?"

Thinking that Qin Ce would stay for dinner this time, Chu Huaiqing specially asked people to prepare a lot of dishes, and even brought up the meal time earlier. Unexpectedly, the people did not keep them, but they still made so many dishes.

Thinking of the several altars of fine wine left in the wine cellar, Chu Huaiqing smiled and said, "No need, please trouble me to put the vegetables into the food box, and I may come back later tonight, so that others don't have to wait for me , go home early and rest."

"okay."

Before coming here, he thought that Xie Fu should be as leisurely as himself, but he didn't expect to be hugged by an 'unidentified object' that swooped over as soon as he entered the door.

The "unidentified object" describes the romantic, like the willow leaf eyebrows carved by heaven, slightly raised, showing the uninhibited and romantic, the eyes are clear, like a dust-free moon, bright and clear, and it is a handsome gentleman facing the wind.He looked straight at Chu Huaiqing, with clear waves in his eyes, and a weeping trembling voice: "Huaiqing, I can't live through this day!"

Chu Huaiqing: "..."

While comforting the aggrieved big child, he entered the house. Amidst Xie Fu's constant complaints, Chu Huaiqing realized that Qin Ce, who had been missing recently, was staying with Xie Fu. It's not that I'm doing something ulterior, it can be summed up in four words: handling official business.

Handle official business in the morning, handle official business at noon, and handle official business in the evening...Except for necessary time such as eating and drinking, there is almost no time when you are not dealing with official business.

Although Xie Fu's ability to handle affairs is strong, he can't stand up to Qin Ce's tossing around every day and night. Now he can't walk, he can't sleep well, and he doesn't enjoy drinking. He always regrets why he can't think about following Qin Ce. It's that the belt is getting wider and wider, and I regret it.

Seeing the official documents that were less than half his height piled up in the room, Chu Huaiqing was originally on Xie Fu's side, but when he learned from Xie Fu that Qin Ce had to deal with more than twice as many official documents as here At that moment, that heart immediately turned to his lord tremblingly.

Keenly aware of the favoritism of her friends, Xie Fu didn't speak, just stared at Chu Huaiqing silently, perhaps Xie Fu's eyes were too sad and pitiful, Chu Huaiqing coughed lightly, and couldn't bear to say: Let me handle the next official business for you, you should take a rest first."

"It's so good!" Xie Fu didn't show any twitch or politeness at all. Xie Fu simply acted as the shopkeeper, patted off the mud seal, took a sip, his slightly curved eyebrows couldn't hide his joy, "it's still Huaiqing who is considerate, every time The wines I brought were all to my liking."

Since Qingzhou was taken over, more people gave wine to Xie Fu, and there was no shortage of all kinds of good wine in his own cellar, but in terms of wine, color and friendship, Xie Fu liked to bring wine from Chuhuaiqing the most.

Chu Huaiqing smiled, sat down in front of the desk, picked up an official document, just glanced at it briefly, then rolled up his sleeves, picked up the pen and started writing, the writing was fluent, without any restraint.

Only half of the official documents of the two states, compared to Chu Huaiqing who managed at most five states and counties at one time in his previous life, it was a piece of cake.

Although the official duties are simple, but thinking that Chu Huaiqing has never taken over official documents before, he should be more hesitant. Seeing the other party's ease this time, Xie Fu was a little surprised. Five more guards at the south gate and two at the north gate?"

When dealing with official documents, Chu Huaiqing was the most attentive, without moving his eyes, and replied: "The north and south city gates are adjacent to the mountain pass. Although the previous bandits have been wiped out, another mountain pass leads to the road leading to Pingzhou. Pingzhou The turmoil has not subsided, and recently some people saw a group of villains running up."

"This group of villains should live in the stronghold left by the former bandits. The stronghold is close to the south gate. To get to the north gate, you have to cross a bridge. The bridge has not been repaired for a long time, and it has long been damaged. It’s a mountain stream, no one should be willing to take risks, but just in case, it’s better to be more prepared.”

Xie Fu hugged the wine jar and blinked, and said: "Your Highness was still worried that Huai Qing would feel tired if you deal with these trivial matters, so he should feel at ease now."

Chu Huaiqing paused, and said jokingly, "You want to be lazy?"

Xie Fu shook the wine jar, and smiled generously: "When you have been idle for half a year, raise a high glass of wine and be at ease."

After chatting and laughing for a while, Xie Fu also finished drinking the wine in the jar, yawned a little, leaned against Chu Huaiqing and closed his eyes.

Chu Huaiqing stopped writing, called his servants to bring a thin blanket, and put it on for Xie Fu. Seeing that Xie Fu, who was aware of the movement, came to find a more comfortable position, he couldn't help laughing.

The house is brightly lit, and the only sound is the sound of paper being folded. Both of them are handsome young men with outstanding grace, and the scene of being together is so beautiful that it can be painted.

This was the first thing Qin Ce saw after entering the house.

The author has something to say: Qin Ce: Although I am very angry, I still have to keep smiling^_^
