Overlord's Road to Ancient Emperors

Waking up early in the morning, Li Xu was refreshed, reminiscing about the passion of last night and still feeling a little unfinished. There is still a difference between the top and the bottom, each of which is interesting, and he didn't think it would be much more comfortable.

Kou Xiao has already woken up, walked out after washing, the clothes he will wear today are hanging on the screen next to the bed, it is still bright red, but it is not so complicated, in this kind of weather, let him wrap it up three times inside and outside three times , He must be overheated to death.

"Morning." Li Xu looked up at him, staring at his naked upper body for a long time, until his skin was covered by clothes.

Kou Xiao asked while putting on his belt, "Didn't you watch enough last night?"

Li Xu laughed softly, "I'm just newly married, if I've seen enough, what will I do for the rest of my life?"

Kou Xiao thought about it, and opened his chest to give him another look, "Then hurry up and see, there are still a lot of things waiting outside."

Li Xu pointed at him and laughed loudly, "You are really... just do it, you're like a hooligan."

"That's only for you!" Kou Xiao put on his clothes again, sat on the edge of the bed, dug Li Xu out of the bed, and kissed him on the cheek, "I'll go and see the man I caught yesterday. Is the assassin still angry, just now I remembered, that person should have escaped from the mountains."

"You mean the remnants of the tribe that escaped from Zhao Gang?" Li Xu didn't bother to see what that person looked like yesterday. That scene happened too fast. It was only a few seconds.

"It should be. Although he has slightly changed his appearance, he can still be seen as a person who has lived on the mountain all year round, and there are animal teeth hanging around his neck. One of the wolf teeth should be owned by the strong men of that tribe."

Li Xu got up, washed up and put on a set of clothes similar to Kou Xiao, fearing that others would not know that they got married yesterday, everything should be in pairs, "Go, let's go and have a look. "

The two went downstairs together. Liu Shu slept from dusk to dawn, standing energetically in the living room, directing two servants to rearrange Li Xu's residence.

The vase was replaced with a sky-blue high-necked bottle dotted with plum blossoms, with a few small daisies in it, bright yellow, which looked a bit fresh, but seeing these small daisies, Li Xu inevitably thought of something else, coughed dryly, "Chrysanthemums don't look good, change them, newlyweds, change them to red flowers."

Liu Shu looked back to see them, came over to salute, and then said with a sigh: "All the flowers that can be seen in the back garden have been cut off, and the red ones are not even left with flower bones. After a while, the slaves will go outside to buy them." A few pots of new flowers."

Li Xu thought of the fresh flowers and petals spread all over the floor in his new house, so he didn't want to talk. With such a huge number of flowers, his garden must have been cut bare. The fact that he was able to find a few small daisies was probably due to the lack of flowers. Conspicuous, so I didn't get harmed by those kids.

"Is Shu'er up?"

"The little princess has already woken up, shot an arrow and rode a horse. Now she is waiting for the two of you to give a greeting gift in the restaurant."

Li Xu touched Kou Xiao's chest, and joked: "Look at what a good family you married. You have no parents-in-law, no sister-in-law, no sister-in-law, and the only daughter is still kissing you. earned it?"

If an ordinary woman were to marry her, the family conditions would be very good. She would be able to be the master of the house as soon as she got married, she would not have to serve her in-laws, and her stepdaughter would not play tricks on her to make him look bad, so she would be very happy indeed.

Kou Xiao took his hand and walked out, "Have you forgotten how many relatives you have in the capital? Those are all stepping on wolves, tigers and leopards. How can ordinary sister-in-laws be as good as them." After counting, Li Xu's relatives are a group of demons who cannibalize people without spitting out their bones. The closer the blood relationship is, the deeper the hatred between them will only deepen. In the emperor's family, it is better to have no relatives.

"Those don't count, you don't need to treat them as relatives." From the day he left the capital, Li Xu knew what he would face in this life. Fortunately, he is not the original owner, and he is not real father and son brothers with those people, otherwise it shouldn't be so difficult. Let's do it right?

Officially meeting with the little princess, Kou Xiao gave him a set of jewelry and a box of toys as a gift, and the little princess returned him a pair of socks that she sewed by herself, and sweetly called him "mother concubine", almost missed Kou Xiao His face turned green.

Kou Xiao said earnestly, "Shu'er, let's discuss it?"

"Mother, say it."

Kou Xiao's mouth twitched, and he suggested: "Concubine mother is supposed to be a girl's name. You, Uncle Kou, are as hardcore a man as I am. This name is not suitable. Why don't you change it?"

"Then what should I call you? You can't still be called Uncle Kou, can you?" the little princess asked confusedly.

Kou Xiao was about to speak when Li Xu coughed dryly, "Well, let's call Uncle Kou first, there's nothing wrong with it."

Kou Xiao glanced at him, raised his eyebrows, and didn't insist anymore, anyway, he would let the little princess call him dad one day.

After breakfast, Kou Xiao and Li Xu both went out, the Kou family army guards outside the door more than doubled than usual, surrounding the palace like an iron barrel.

Seeing them coming out, Guo Fu immediately ran over and whispered, "My lord, general, the assassin died yesterday."

Kou Xiao was not surprised, it would be hard to survive such an injury, "Is there a trial?"

"He refused to say anything, but you didn't explain, and we didn't ask in detail."

"Well, did you take off his clothes to check his body? Can you tell where he is from?"

Guo Fu nodded at him, "The general is right. That man has a pair of eagle wings tattooed on his back. It should be the man from the mountain."

There was only one tribe they had recently besieged, and they probably knew where they escaped. Kou Xiao frowned, expressing his dissatisfaction with the results of Zhao Gang's operation. He had told him not to let the people on the mountain escape.

He Zunwenyan stood up and said: "The attack was at night and there was chaos. Several children and young people were escaped. Later, Deputy General Zhao led people to chase after him, but I don't know the exact number of people, and I don't know if they are clean. How many people will run away?" It's normal to come out."

Kou Xiao instructed Guo Fu, "Let the whole city re-check the population, and anyone whose identity is suspicious will be taken down for questioning first, and released after the investigation is clear."

Li Xu asked: "Will this action be too big? Will it make people panic?"

Kou Xiao comforted: "Don't worry, the people in the city saw what happened on the street yesterday, and they also expected to investigate the assassin. They must be obediently waiting at home today. We can rest assured that we will investigate. More at ease."

Li Xu was right when he thought about it. Assassins are not only harmful to him, they are also a threat to ordinary people. No one is worried that there is an assassin with a sharp knife hiding beside him. Assassins kill people regardless of whether you are innocent or not.

"Then let's do it. The city of Minzhou has been screened several times. If it can hide people like this, then there is nothing to say."

The couple went to the Sheriff's Mansion together after explaining the matter. After the shock yesterday, all the officials were paralyzed by alcohol. When they woke up, they still felt that the stimulation was too great, and they couldn't be at peace.

Doomed not to work this morning, everyone gathered together to chat and gossip, and felt that the prince and General Kou were newlyweds, and at this time they must still be in bed and warm their pillows, and they would not want to get up. Husband came to check class together.

Everyone saluted and greeted with a bitter face, waiting for the prince to be furious and deduct their performance and bonuses.

"Hey, I'm all idle. It's just a matter of time to do something for the king."

Everyone quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and actively greeted him: "My lord, please tell me."

"Lord Lei Minglei sent ten carts of letters back as a wedding gift for the king. Everyone was busy and didn't organize them before. You go and organize them. Repairs that need to be repaired, seal carvings that need to be cut, and when you figure it out, take the book list. Let me have a look to see which ones can be sent to the library."

This is a hard job. Many of the books collected from all over the place are the bottom of the poor people's boxes, and some are even found out from the garbage dump. Most of them are dilapidated, dirty and old, but most literati love books. Discovering a valuable ancient book is worth all the hard work.

"Don't worry, my lord, the subordinate officials will definitely finish it as soon as possible."

Originally, Li Xu didn't need to find officials to sort out this kind of matter. There were many students who were idle and flustered outside, and when they heard that there was a book to be sorted out, they would scramble to report it later.

But after all, they are not as knowledgeable as the officials, and Li Xu knows what these people are talking about in their spare time without guessing. Instead of letting them be gossips, it is better to work for him.

Li Xu came to the Sheriff's Mansion today to meet Song Wang, and Ji Hanyu passed him a message before leaving yesterday, saying that Song Wang wanted to chat with him face to face.

Li Xu is quite satisfied with Song Wang. It would be great if he could stay and work for him. If it is not possible, he will not force it. Not everyone can accept the homosexual group.

Song Wang drank a lot of wine yesterday, woke up very early after a night of hangover, and then got up and sat in the yard in a daze, there were too many people and too much wine yesterday, many people didn't have enough time to think about this matter, The first thing you do when you wake up is take it out and think about it.

Ji Hanyu didn't know if and when Li Xu would come today, but he couldn't let the prince wait for them, so he took Song Wang along with him in the morning, and let him observe for a while and work by himself.

Sitting in the position of the county guard, Ji Hanyu has to deal with more official documents than Li Xu every day. He can basically present big and small matters to him. There are fields he is familiar with and fields he is not familiar with. When he is busy, he can't take care of them. Song looked up.

Song Wang didn't want to see too much, after all, it was a confidential matter, so he took a walk in the county guard's mansion, and naturally heard a lot of corners during this walk.

Song Wang found that half of the ten people agreed with the matter of the prince marrying a male wife, and the remaining half disagreed with or opposed it. They were only worried about the prince's heirs. Loudly express objection, as if saying no will kill your head the next moment.

Song Wang came to a conclusion that no matter whether the South Vietnamese officials really agreed with the marriage, they had no right to refute. This shows that King Shun had the ultimate control over the South Vietnamese officialdom, or that General Kou's deterrence was at its extreme, which made them The marriage of the two can be completed so smoothly.

If it was in the capital, or if it were the emperor doing this, it might not be able to achieve this result.

Hearing Li Xu's summons, Song Wang was not surprised at all, he packed his clothes and went to meet him. He thought he would only see King Shun, but he didn't expect General Kou to be there.

Song Wang is not familiar with Kou Xiao, but he learned from outsiders that General Kou is cold, domineering, ruthless, and he is an iron-blooded general.

When he was bored, he also thought about whether King Shun was forced to marry a man. After all, he had married a wife and had a daughter before. impossible.

But when he saw that one of the two was sitting on the top seat, and the other was sitting on the edge of the window looking at a basin of jade ornaments, the relaxed and harmonious atmosphere was not faked, so he knew that he was thinking too much.

"Cao Min Song Wang has seen the prince and met General Kou."

Li Xu asked him to sit down and talk, and went straight to the point: "Does Mr. Song have something to say to this king?"

"To tell you the truth, my lord, I drank my lord's wedding wine yesterday, and I was so flustered. When I woke up today, I just felt that Nanyue's energy was exhausted, and my lord's energy was exhausted. I wonder if my lord feels this way?"

The young general on the window sill sneered, but he didn't refute anything, but his leisurely and carefree posture didn't change a single bit because of his intimidation.

Have nothing to fear!Song Wang thought.

Li Xu laughed, "Why would Mr. Song think so? Do you think that once a man in this world falls in love with a man, his life will be over?"

"Of course it wouldn't happen to an ordinary person, but your identity with General Kou...have you really never thought about it?"

"Of course, I thought about it. I got married after thinking about it. After all, it's a major event in life. Don't be hasty." Li Xu said without any psychological burden.

Song Wang knew why these two came together, they were equally bold, confident, and regarded the world as nothing.

Of course Song Wang didn't come to criticize their relationship, he was just a little worried, "Does your lord know how officials in South Vietnam discussed your two marriages in private?"

"Just think about it, it's not hard to guess, isn't it?"

"Even if they agree, they are worried. Can you give them peace of mind?"

Li Xu glanced at Song Wang, shook his head, and said, "Mr. Song, why is he so obsessed with this issue? What the South Vietnamese officials think is their own business, so what does it have to do with me? If they don't object on the surface, it's against me. Thank you very much for your support, this king is very grateful to them, as for their troubles, even if this king marries a woman, they will still have troubles, either this trouble or that trouble, have you ever seen a courtier who does not worry about the monarch?"

This statement... really cannot be refuted. Song Wang knew that Li Xu was insinuating that he was meddling in his own business. Officials like to meddle in their own business, especially the king's housework. What does it matter whether a king is qualified or not has anything to do with who he marries?

Song Wangchao bowed deeply to Li Xu, "Your Highness is right, it's because the grassroots are too idle."

Li Xu laughed out loud, Song Wang was a bit interesting, he dared to speak up, and he was quick to admit mistakes, he was a communicative person.

Li Xu is most afraid of a kind of official, that is, the kind of person who regards the classics and old rules as imperial edicts, who are pedantic and stubborn, and do not think about flexibility.

"What does Mr. Song do at home now when he is free?"

Song Wang replied: "Looking at writing and writing, planting flowers and raising birds, or going out for a walk, it's not a big deal."

"That day was quite leisurely. I wonder if Mr. Song wants to continue to live such a leisurely life or do some practical things?"

"Does the lord still want the grassroots to serve as officials in South Vietnam?"

"Yes, I want to." Li Xu said bluntly, and presented two options in front of him, "One is the director of education, in charge of the affairs of students in South Vietnam, and the other is the supervisory censor, in charge of the performance evaluation of officials, Mr. Song Interested? You can choose one."

Song Wang looked up at Li Xu, and asked suspiciously: "Can't you choose two at the same time? With the energy and knowledge of the grassroots, it should be manageable."

Li Xu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed again, "Yes, this king underestimated Mr. Song's talent, haha, this king will have another capable minister in the future."

Song Wang made a salute to him, which is the salute of subordinate officials to the lord, and he said bluntly: "Please take care of me more in the future."

Li Xu didn't expect to complete his goal with just a few words. He felt like double happiness. Not only did he immediately give Song Wang a house, but he also gave him a carload of gifts, which seemed to make him go to work immediately.

If it wasn't for Song Wang's age, Kou Xiao would have thought that Li Xu was going to raise a concubine in front of him.
