Overlord's Road to Ancient Emperors

Li Xu received the news that Kou Xiao had left with Kou Jiajun and had already finished chatting with Song Wang about business, and was about to go back to have a romantic lunch with his new husband, but this man actually ran away.

But he wasn't too angry, what happened yesterday was like a wake-up call, it's not surprising that Kou Xiao would take some action, but he didn't know where he was going.

He invited Brother Song Wang to have lunch together, and they ate at the canteen of the Sheriff's Mansion. Yes, the Sheriff's Mansion also has a canteen. It is said that many officials jointly signed a letter requesting to open it, and they dug two cooks from the old palace.

No matter how delicious the food is, they will get tired of eating too much, but these officials are willing to eat in the cafeteria every day. After all, compared with the meals at home, the cafeteria still has an advantage.

Moreover, Li Xu later asked the cafeteria to set up a separate window where you can order food. The price is more expensive than fast food. Anyway, most officials are not short of money, and the business is not bad.

It was the first time Li Xu came here, and when he appeared, there was a sound of kneeling and saluting. He sighed secretly, knowing that this would happen, so he rarely came to such public places.

"Get up, my king is here to inspect the cafeteria, you can do whatever you want."

Li Xu led people into the box, and when the door was closed, everyone inside and outside heaved a sigh of relief.

Ji Hanyu pretended to wipe off his sweat and said, "Dining with the prince is really stressful."

"Will those people outside be unable to eat?"

"Maybe I will eat a lot of Xiangsiwen, and this meal will definitely last for a long time." Ji Hanyu suppressed a smile, he can imagine the scene of those people outside pretending.

Song Wang opened the door and glanced out, and sure enough, he saw men of different ages wearing official uniforms eating in a gentle manner, and when he saw the door opened, he immediately showed a fascinated expression, as if he was eating The panacea.

Song Wang closed the door without a word, a little confused about the officialdom in South Vietnam, what kind of officials are these?

Li Xu took the main seat, and Ji Hanyu sat on the left side of him. Opposite him was King Shun's personal bodyguard. He looked extremely ugly, and looked familiar after a few more glances.

Song Wang sat on Li Xu's right. The tables and chairs in Nanyue were also very strange. Most of the tables were tall round tables or square tables, and the chairs were high back chairs. One leg hangs down naturally, and there is no need to sit cross-legged, and the leg will not be numb after a long time.

He heard from the servants of the Ji Mansion that this kind of table and chairs came from the Wang Mansion, and everyone naturally followed suit. In addition to this, there is also a softer and more comfortable sofa. Song Wang doesn't want to get off after sitting on it. In addition to being poor, life is quite nourishing.

"I heard that many of the dishes here are made by the prince. I can't believe it. There are not as many royal chefs as the prince?" Song Wang suspected that when Li Xu first came to South Vietnam, he needed to establish a reputation. Food and clothing are closely related to the people, so he asked Such a breakthrough was made.

"Eating is the most important thing in life. Master Song can spread the word if he has a new recipe. If it is a private secret recipe, he can sell it to restaurants and make some money."

Song Wang didn't know how to maintain his expression. Selling secret recipes didn't sound like something a high-ranking official would do, and the Song family was also a famous family, so they really didn't lack that little money.

The food was ordered by Ji Hanyu's entourage. He had just had a banquet yesterday, so there was no big fish or meat today, but Ji Hanyu knew that Li Xu preferred seafood, and there were more seafood on the table.

This is something that is difficult for Song Wang to accept. He doesn't like the fishy smell of seafood. Ji Hanyu put a few of his favorite dishes in front of him. Is it to your liking."

Song Wang glanced at the junior brother, thinking: Zhou Tuo is still the junior brother Zhou Zhou.

Li Xu's meals at home are relatively casual, and he can talk when he wants to talk, but outside he still follows the rules, eating and sleeping without talking, it's not difficult to do it.

After the meal was over, the officials outside did not leave, and the number of them was much larger. It was obvious that they wanted to show their faces when they heard that King Shun was coming.

Seeing Li Xu coming out, several young officials stood up excitedly, some of them were too nervous and even knocked over the bowls and chopsticks. For a while, the huge cafeteria was filled with various voices, and then there were various salutes and greetings.

When Li Xu was the boss in his previous life, he had the same effect when he went to the branch company. But at that time, everyone looked at him as if he was looking at RMB, and these officials saw him as sincerely treating him as their boss and master. The two feelings were not the same. no the same.

Every time he sees these officials and the people of South Vietnam, Li Xu can feel the sense of responsibility in his body, which is the pressure and motivation that drives him to work day and night.

Li Xu didn't stay for long, he greeted everyone and left, and the noise in the cafeteria immediately resumed.

A petty official was excited and incoherent: "My lord walked past me just now, so close, I could touch him if I stretched out my hand, ah, he is so handsome... I feel like he glanced at me..."

"Come on, you low-level official, do you still want the lord to know you? He obviously sees me!" A middle-aged official behind him retorted angrily.

If on weekdays, the ranks of officials are strict, and the first rank crushes people to death, the small official will immediately kneel down and beg for forgiveness, but at this moment he is a little dizzy, still immersed in the prince's eyes as deep as stars, forgetting himself for a while, "Master Wang looks so ugly, how could the prince look at you?"

The people around fell silent, and the colleague who had a good relationship with the petty official pushed him vigorously, and scolded him: "You are tired of working! Hurry up and apologize!"

"According to this officer, this little official is right. Mr. Wang is indeed... a bit embarrassing." An official who disagreed with Mr. Wang laughed in a low voice.

Li Xu didn't know that his eyes sparked a war among the officials. When he returned to the palace, the running water seats at the entrance hadn't been withdrawn. Today, only ordinary people continued to eat at the door. The two rightful masters were not there, and the people left in disappointment. .

＊＊＊＊＊＊

When he got home, Li Xu inevitably remembered that Kou Xiao was here, and he didn't know where he was going this trip, did he bring enough food and clothes, did he bring enough clothes?

But in this way, Li Xu thought that Kou Xiao would come back after only going for three to five days, but after three days, he didn't receive Kou Xiao's words and phrases at all, and only the support staff were left behind in the barracks. But the good news is that Zhao Gang came back with someone.

When he came back, he saw the empty barracks with a look of disbelief on his face, "General, is this...is he going to abandon me?"

They have already got the news, they know who the prince is marrying, and they also know what they missed. Their intestines are green with regret, but what's the use of rushing back day and night, what awaits them is an air force battalion.

Zhao Gang grabbed the scout who sent the message and asked, "Did the general not say where he was going?"

The little soldier replied blankly: "No, everyone was still there before the humble staff left, and they didn't say they were going to travel far away."

But with the facts before his eyes, Zhao Gang had to admit that he seemed to have made the worst decision in his life, and he didn't know what was waiting for him.

After returning from the march and fighting, Zhao Gang didn’t have much time to worry about the spring and autumn. There were too many things waiting for him to deal with the aftermath. Just summarizing after the war would stump him. However, there were no military advisers and learned soldiers in the barracks. General No, letting him do this kind of clerical work like a big bastard would really kill him.

On the second day after his return, Zhao Gang personally went to the palace to hand over a request for an audience, and was soon welcomed in by Liu Shu. The young and handsome eunuch smiled and said, "It is a great joy for General Zhao to return home in triumph. Did you make a lot of achievements in the expedition? I don’t know how many levels the officer will be promoted this time?”

Zhao Gang didn't like little eunuchs, and he didn't like little eunuchs who were eccentric, so he replied with a straight face: "Whether credit or not is something that the prince should consider, and in the end he will only be responsible for obeying orders."

"It's a good one to obey orders. General Zhao is really loyal. I don't know if you know where General Kou has gone? Just newly married, the groom left the house and ran away, and there was no news. Hey, my prince's mood... Forget it, you are vulgar, how would you know that you have to send a letter home when you leave home." The little eunuch sighed sadly.

Zhao Gang also came to two conclusions, one is: General Kou did not inform the prince in advance when he went out this time, let alone report his whereabouts; the other is: the prince is in a bad mood today!

Zhao Gang cried out inwardly: This is God's death!What is General Kou trying to do?Could it be that his marriage to the prince is just an illusion, and he regrets it after the marriage?So the soldiers ran away?Bah, bah, bah, the Kou family soldiers are all from South Vietnam, where can they go?

So the couple had a conflict?in argument?Because the military power has been messed up?Zhao Gang felt that today's trip was very inconvenient, and he might go out sideways.

When he saw Li Xu, Zhao Gang felt that he was thinking too much. The prince was still the gentle and gentle prince, with a ruddy complexion and full of energy, and he didn't look like he was abandoned by a scumbag at all.

He felt a little relieved, and stood aside after saluting, waiting for the prince to interrogate.

Why is it an interrogation, because he already knew about the assassination on the day of the prince's wedding, and he was sure that the killer was someone who escaped from the mountains, which was his negligence.

Li Xu took a few more glances at him. Zhao Gang is a bit old. He went out for a meal and slept in the open, and he didn't have time to rest when he came back. He looked slumped and dejected. The blood on his armor was not cleaned. He didn't look like someone who came back from a victorious battle. General.

"This time, Vice General Zhao has worked hard. I was supposed to lead a hundred officials to welcome you in person, but the affairs are busy, and the people are also busy with the autumn harvest, so I put it on hold. After a while, the king will give you a celebration banquet. "

Zhao Gang was taken aback. He had expected to hear roars and then scolding, but he didn't expect the prince to be so amiable and to hold a celebration banquet for him. What can he do?

An old man from Zhao Gang's eyes turned red, tears almost fell out, then his knees softened, and he knelt on the ground, "Thank you, my lord, for your compassion, but this time the last general's work is not enough, and I almost killed my lord, please punish me !"

"Vice General Zhao, hurry up. This matter has nothing to do with you. It's normal for a general to desert in a war. He can't defend himself. Don't blame yourself."

Zhao Gang was even more moved. He always felt that the prince had a trick against General Kou and deliberately bought people's hearts. Kneeling here at this moment, his heart is going to be biased. No, no, hold on!

Zhao Gang kowtowed his head, and said again: "The victory this time is thanks to the advice of Guard Mu, the last general really dare not take credit for it."

Li Xu said lightly: "The credit is for whoever deserves it, and no one can obliterate it. Vice-General Zhao doesn't have to be modest, and you can let Zhong Wen take over the post-war affairs. The soldiers have worked hard for more than a month. Take two days off to recuperate."

Zhao Gang's lips moved, and he looked over with emotion, "Thank you, my lord! The last general is not tired, but it would be great if General Zhong could help." He didn't care if he was on holiday or not, anyway, this trip was really not much Tired, it was much more miserable than this when he was spinning around in the past, but it can save him from the sea of ​​suffering in copywriting, and Zhao Gang wants to give Li Xu a high incense.
