Overlord's Road to Ancient Emperors

Li Xu informed Kou Xiao of the news he had just received, and said jokingly, "Tell me, if they knew that the evidence they made had been perjured, what expression would they have?"

Kou Xiao raised Li Xu's hands and carefully observed them repeatedly. He knew how beautiful these hands were. He missed them very much when they were not together, and Kou Xiao touched them a lot when he was able to hold them. I didn't look much, and I really can't see anything unusual.

So he couldn't understand why Li Xu couldn't write the old handwriting anymore, "But is there a wound inside?" He asked.

Li Xu didn't have the opportunity to do heavy work on weekdays, and he rarely fought. The only time he fought one-on-one was very difficult. Kou Xiao blamed it on his hand injury.

Li Xu didn't know how to explain it, so he had to answer vaguely: "Maybe, anyway, I don't think there is anything wrong with it on weekdays. It's just that I don't know how to control my strength when I pick up a pen. It may also be that my heart has been traumatized, and I have forgotten many things subconsciously."

Kou Xiao thought of his special quill calligraphy, and really didn't want to use it for the first time, but he didn't think about it too much, maybe he used it in the palace before.

Thinking of what happened to him in the palace before, Kou Xiao felt distressed and sad. When Li Xu was persecuted by the Han family, his mother and wife jointly lied to him, which caused him to be seriously injured and demoted from the capital. How hard is the road?It is not surprising that there are psychological scars left.

Li Xu knew what he was thinking just by looking at his expression, and it was hard to explain that he was different from the original owner, so he pulled his hand back and stuffed it into his sleeve, "Okay, I'm hungry, let's go eat."

Kou Xiao insisted on holding his hand, his movements were gentle, not as rude as he was usually, like treating a fragile treasure, which made Li Xu so angry that he wanted to bite him.

When he was about to reach the restaurant, Kou Xiao suddenly said: "You can forget about the past, but this is not evidence of their perjury, most people will not believe it."

"Do you think the emperor will believe it?"

Looking at the problem from Kou Xiao's point of view, he doesn't think so, but as long as the emperor still has a little bit of father-son affection, he should be able to understand.

"Does the lord think that the emperor still has affection for you and the little princess?" This question was a bit rebellious, but Li Xu shook his head first, then nodded again, and said, "He is the emperor first, and then a father."

In the emperor's conception, family affection will always lag behind the family and the world. Anyone who wants to covet his throne will become his enemy, no matter if this person is a father, brother or child.

The Kou family has been single-handed in the past three generations, and has never experienced power struggles, but he also knows what a cruel scene will be. He asked: "It seems that we are ready to go to Beijing. How many people will the prince plan to take?"

"It's too early to say these things now, let me straighten things out."

The two walked into the restaurant one after the other, and the little princess was already sitting in her seat, chatting and laughing with her maid, with a carefree childlike innocence on her face, which made her feel better for no reason.

"Father, come and see, the master taught us how to do handwork today, how about this puppet I carved?"

Li Xu glanced at Kou Xiao first, then walked over with a smile in his eyes, and took the doll in her hand. It was a chubby female doll, which had been painted, not to mention, it still looked cute.

He picked up the puppet and shook it in front of Kou Xiao, jokingly said: "Look, one day you will be successful if you reach this level."

Kou Xiao took the doll over, climbed up competitively, and asked the little princess: "Your Highness, can you give this to me?"

The little princess shyly said: "Uncle Kou likes it? I'll carve a better one for you tomorrow. This one is too ugly." The little girl at this age already has the appearance of a young adult, and she also knows that Kou Xiao's identity is not only It's as simple as being my father's friend, and I'm a little more cautious when getting along with him.

Following Li Xu's example, Kou Xiao patted her head, and pulled out a bracelet from his pocket as if conjuring. There were several cute little foxes on the pearl bracelet, each with different expressions and movements, very small and delicate. , the little princess fell in love with it.

"Uncle Kou, how about exchanging this with you?"

Li Xu let out a "huh" and asked in surprise, "Where did you buy the bracelet?" He basically has the patterns of all the jewelry shops in Minzhou City, and he seems to have never seen this one.

"I didn't buy it, I found it from the warehouse. It should be a gift from someone before. It just fits the little princess so I brought it." Kou Xiao counted the private warehouse left in the Kou family a few days ago, and it belongs to the public. He returned all the things he had, and only took away the belongings he had accumulated over the years.

"Thank you, Uncle Kou, Shu'er likes it very much." The little princess immediately put the bracelet on her wrist. The combination of ruby ​​and pink pearl was so eye-catching that she couldn't put it down.

Looking at the rough doll in Kou Xiao's hand, the little princess felt that she had taken advantage of it, so she sweetly yelled to Kou Xiao: "Thank you for the gift, concubine mother, I like it very much."

Sure enough, after she finished shouting, the father laughed very happily. Although Uncle Kou didn't smile, the little princess felt that he must be happy in his heart. In the little princess's heart, anyone wants to be her mother and concubine, even if it is a man the same.

Kou Xiao can't laugh or cry, he really can't accept this name, and it's impossible to be serious with a child, but next time he can try to let her call him daddy, and see if Li Xu can still laugh at that time.

He could see that Li Xu loved his daughter so much, and wished to give her the best thing in the world. He probably didn't want to give half of his father's love to him. His desire for monopoly was terrible.

Outsiders say that King Shun has such a good temper, kindness and generosity, but in fact it is only because he has not touched his bottom line, and no one has violated his decision. After all, those who once sang against him either died or resigned. From this, it can be seen that King Shun is actually a domineering person in essence.

"What are you staring at me for? I have flowers on my face?" Li Xu raised his head and blinked at Kou Xiao.

Kou Xiao leaned over to kiss him on the cheek when the little princess lowered her head, and said in a low voice, "Yes, it's so beautiful, I'll never tire of watching it."

Li Xu stomped on him secretly, signaling him to pay attention to the occasion, "Cough, let's eat, if you don't eat, it will be cold."

The family of three didn't need someone to serve them when they ate, and the room soon became quiet, with the occasional voice of Li Xu reprimanding the elder and younger for not eating vegetables, forcing them to eat the vegetables to be satisfied.

Every time at this time, Kou Xiao and the little princess have the same expressions, frowning and stuffing the vegetables into their mouths, chewing a few times and swallowing them, then quickly pick up the favorite meat and stuff them into their mouths, just like eating Like a bitter medicine.

Li Xu was desperate for the big and the young, but he couldn't let it go. He didn't want to be too cruel to his daughter, and would always grab Kou Xiao and make the latter feel pain and happiness.

After dinner, Kou Xiao planned to go back to the barracks, he grabbed Li Xu, and whispered in his ear: "My lord, can I borrow someone from you."

"Who is it?" Li Xu intuitively felt that the person he wanted to borrow was not simple, otherwise why would he be so cautious.

"Can you lend me your bodyguard for a few days?"

Li Xu's expression was a bit tangled, and he looked reluctant. Seeing Kou Xiao's brows raised, his eyes almost staring out of the frame, as if you don't love me if you don't borrow it, he asked with a smile: "What do you borrow him for?" ?”

Kou Xiao sighed helplessly, "You borrowed my military adviser, so why don't I find someone to make up for it?"

"That's not okay, he can't be your military adviser." Li Xu refused without thinking.

Kou Xiao put his arms around his shoulders, bit his lips with his teeth, and threatened: "Is it important for him or me?"

This question is no different from me falling into the water with your mother. Who would you save first? Li Xu didn't fall for it. He answered rationally: "They are all important, there is no need to compare them, but you just said to borrow a few days?"

"Yes, it can be as long as one month, and as short as 20 days."

Li Xu still didn't directly agree, but called He Zun to ask his opinion in person. He Zun refused bluntly, "What is Kou's army doing with his subordinates? What's more, if his subordinates leave the lord, what about the lord's safety?"

Kou Xiao replied with a smirk: "With my general here, no one in Minzhou city dares to harm the prince." If Kou Xiao couldn't even look down on a Minzhou city, he would have been a god for several years in vain Infamy.

Only then did He Zun agree: "Follow the prince's order."

Li Xu couldn't think of a better replacement for a moment, he kept this matter in his heart, the Kou family army still needs a military adviser, and he said to Kou Xiao: "I will borrow you first, this time is not an example, the new military adviser You can choose."

Kou Xiao and Jiang Qiuming are used to working together, and they get along very well. A military adviser is no better than any other position. Not only must he be talented, but he must also be able to get along well with the coach. Kou Xiao has no intention of changing people.

"No need, the last general waits for Jiang Junshi to come back, the Kou family army's military adviser must be him."

This time it was Li Xu's turn to be jealous, he glanced at him coldly, "That's fine, it's up to you." Then he left with his bodyguard.

Kou Xiao returned to the barracks with a refreshed look, and nodded with satisfaction when he saw the soldiers who persisted in training in the night.

When the drill came to an end, he summoned the generals in the army and assigned two tasks to go down, "Two new military fortresses have been built in the west and north respectively. I have notified you about this before. Cao Ji will select four military fortresses tomorrow. Commander, take 500 people to escort the engineering team to the four fortresses, and assume the post of inspection and garrison.”

Everyone got excited. They had seen the blueprints of those military fortresses. To be honest, if they could be built, their defense in South Vietnam would definitely increase by several steps. Moreover, they are now fully equipped and fully stocked, even if it is a long-term battle. In the defensive battle, they will never lose.

Guo Fu took the opportunity to ask, "General, what kind of battle is about to happen?"

Kou Xiao trusted these lieutenants very much. Everyone knew about the mutiny in Yingchuan, but he did not tell them about the prince. He ordered: "There is one more thing. Zhao Gang will order [-] troops tomorrow to wipe out the group of barbarians on the Xitun Mountain in the north. They must be cleaned up and no one will be left behind!"

Zhao Gang got up and solemnly promised: "Don't worry, general, I have been upset with those people for a long time. If I hadn't been too busy to take care of them before, I would have asked myself to exterminate them!"

Kou Xiao used to like to do battles big and small by himself. Firstly, because the Kou family’s army is small in number, each one is a treasure, so he feels more at ease carrying it personally. Secondly, because he is young, he must use victory after victory to accumulate military achievements and fame. However, if he hides behind everything, he may not be able to convince the whole army in just a few years.

"The military adviser is not here. This general has dug someone for you from the prince. I will lend you a few days. You must bring back all the people!" Although Kou Xiao asked Zhao Gang to lead the troops out alone, he also knew that he Bravery is better than strategy, and it is safer to send a military division to follow him.

Zhao Gang was puzzled, and asked, "It's okay to bring a military adviser and subordinates, but the people in the palace are either civil servants or stewards. Do they know how to fight?"

Kou Xiao raised his head, looked at him with a half-smile, and asked, "Do you know Guard Mu?"

Zhao Gang was stunned for a moment, and then said "Ah" in an indescribable way: "Fuck! General, are you sure you want your subordinate to be the coach? Isn't he the master and me as the deputy?"

"You're pretty self-aware, don't worry, he won't interfere with you too much, but you have to carefully consider his opinions."

How dare Zhao Gang not respond? They were curious about the prince's personal bodyguard in private, conducted various investigations, and made various speculations. Trusted people, the kind that even General Kou would stand aside.

In the past, this man had always been wearing a mask, looking mysterious, but now he showed his face full of scars generously, but no one dared to underestimate him.

And everyone was lucky enough to have seen his martial arts. I am afraid that no one in the whole army is his opponent. If such a master can condescend to be Zhao Gang's military adviser, Zhao Gang should wake up from his dream.
