Overlord's Road to Ancient Emperors

"Crack!" Mrs. Zhao slapped the third prince on the face, and her pretty face that had been taken care of by the years was full of anger, "You really want to piss me off! How can you decide on such a big matter? And do whatever you want, you can Knowing that would ruin all our plans."

The third prince licked the sweet smell in his mouth, and said with a sneer, "That's not the case, even if the emperor expresses his trust in Li Xu on the surface, who knows what he thinks in his heart."

"You...don't have the temperament of your father, will I not know? If you plan well and the right person speaks at the right time, your father will definitely be trusted by eight points. Now, I'm afraid you don't even have one point."

"Then what should we do? Anyway, it's impossible for those two to betray us. Even if they fail, there is no loss, right?"

Mrs. Zhao looked at her son with disappointment. She always knew that this son was not smart enough and was impulsive and irritable, but she always thought that he would improve and mature when he grew up. She never thought that after going to Tongzhou for two years, he did not make any progress at all.

How did she know that the third prince is coaxed by a large group of people outside, he can get whatever he wants, and his staff will come up with ideas for whatever he wants to plan. His brain only needs to know how to distinguish rewards and punishments, even if he can't do this, When Mrs. Zhao was still favored and the Zhao family was still standing, others still wanted to support him, wouldn't that just fuel his arrogance?

Li Xuyi took care of the little princess for two days without hesitation, and he didn't feel at ease until she was back to life. Medical technology is backward these days, and he is really afraid of getting sick. A small cold can kill someone.

This day was Situ Yong's first day in office, he had a banquet for senior generals in the army, Kou Xiao was of course also on the list, and went to the barracks early in the morning.

The new Zuo Zhonghou Su Ziyan has also arrived. He is indeed a young and handsome general. He looks not much older than Kou Xiao.

Maybe it was because he came from a big family, he was proud, a small soldier soiled the tip of his shoe, he kicked him flying, and then took off the dirty shoe on the spot and threw it for a new pair, which made many soldiers in the battalion slightly frown.

Situ Yong watched this scene from a distance, and whispered to Kou Xiao: "This is an ancestor, I am afraid it will be difficult to surrender."

Kou Xiao looked at the other party's bright and clear face, shook his head secretly, thinking: He is quite handsome, but it is a pity that he is not a good match.

"What are you afraid of? This kind of person is a little bit awkward. It's not easy for us to win over, and it's also not easy for others. Just don't make enemies easily."

"That's probably a bit difficult." Situ Yong gave Kou Xiao a weird look, with a gloating smile on his lips.

Kou Xiao didn't know and went in, but he was already in front of him, so he couldn't continue to ask.

"General Su became famous at a young age, and I was lucky enough to meet him. His reputation is indeed well-deserved." Kou Xiao took the initiative to show his favor, "I'm going to South Vietnam Kou Xiao."

Su Ziyan glanced coldly at Kou Xiao for a few times, then saluted Situ Yong beside him, "The last general, Su Ziyan, pays homage to Commander Situ!"

"General Su doesn't need to be too polite. From now on, he will be colleagues, no different from a family. You are new here, can you arrange your family well?"

Su Ziyan replied neither humble nor overbearing: "The last general went to Beijing alone, without bringing his family with him, so he can just live in the barracks from now on."

Situ Yong was a little surprised. Looking at his posture just now, he thought that this person must live in a golden house and sleep on a soft bed. There are at least twenty beautiful maids inside and outside the house to serve him. He never thought that he would propose to live in a military camp.

He kindly reminded: "If General Su has a residence in the city, he can return at sunrise and at night, and it only takes half an hour to ride a horse from the city."

"No need. Su just came here and doesn't know much about the Gyeonggi Camp. Living in the military camp will help you get acquainted with your subordinates as soon as possible, so don't bother the Commander."

Situ Yong chuckled, his background is not comparable to Su Ziyan, if the other party wants to live in the barracks to endure hardships, let him live there, I don't know how many days he can last.

After Su Ziyan and Situ Yong finished speaking, they looked at Kou Xiao, frowned slightly, and asked bluntly: "General Kou is an instructor personally appointed by His Majesty, I don't know whether it is higher or lower than Su Mou in terms of grade?"

Kou Xiao narrowed his eyes, and Situ Yong took the lead and said: "General Kou is the commander of Nanyue, a county governor, and after he arrived in the capital, he was awarded the title of Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery. In terms of rank, he is one level higher than XX."

Kou Xiao naturally also discovered Su Ziyan's hostility towards him, but the two met for the first time, and they had never met before, and he was just a handyman in the Gyeonggi camp, so he had no rights dispute with him, where did the hostility come from?

He secretly glanced at Situ Yong, ready to talk to him in private, and responded calmly: "They all work for the imperial court, and they are both in the Gyeonggi camp. Is it so important? Kou is just an instructor here." .”

"Courtesy cannot be broken." Su Ziyan saluted Kou Xiao according to the rules, every movement was impeccable, and one could tell that he was from a well-born family. Compared with him, Situ Yong and Kou Xiao seemed to be born recklessly. warrior.

The Gyeonggi Battalion changed three leaders at once, and Situ Yong's original position was taken over by Jia Ping, who was from the Yulin Army.

The Jia family is also ranked first in the capital, and Jia Ping has enough qualifications. Although he has been recuperating in Nanyue for four years, he was criticized because he wanted to serve King Shun and was unwilling to come back, but after he returned to Beijing, his left-handed sword skills He has surpassed countless colleagues. Anyone who knows him knows that he was not good at using the left-handed sword in the past. Unless the right hand is really badly injured, who has the perseverance to give up what he has learned for many years and practice the left-handed sword again?

But Jia Ping's injury was left when he saved Li Xu back then. This was a great achievement. At first, the emperor only promoted his official position and rewarded him with gold and silver fields. It was not until Situ Yong was promoted that he transferred Jia Ping to the Gyeonggi Camp. , and this decision was not made under the influence of Li Xu, but the result of Jia's own efforts.

What the emperor learned was that Jia Ping had an elder brother who was highly valued by the eldest prince, and most of the Jia family was also from the eldest prince's side. just give it.

Jia Ping came late, had a meeting with the commander and colleagues, and sat silently on the side, his face a bit unsightly.

Kou Xiao hadn't seen him for a long time, remembering what he had heard on the way, he joked: "I heard that General Jia is going to get married soon, congratulations!"

Since Jia Ping returned to Beijing, he has never escaped the fate of a blind date. He is not young, and children of his age can play soy sauce. He used to be beyond reach in South Vietnam. Now that he is back, his family is forcing him to marry him. dear.

Jia Ping couldn't refuse, and he didn't have the courage to abandon his family and reputation like Kou Xiao, and finally exchanged his current position for a relative.

"Thank you." Jia Ping nodded coldly, as if he didn't know Kou Xiao.

Su Ziyan clarified the relationship between the two, and asked curiously: "I heard that General Jia stayed in South Vietnam for four years, so he probably knew General Kou?"

Jia Ping still nodded coldly, "I know him, but I'm not familiar with him."

Kou Xiao agreed with a smile: "General Jia spends most of his time recuperating and practicing swordsmanship, and occasionally travels, so we seldom see each other, plus...with the dead face of General Jia, who can be familiar with him? "

Situ Yong found out that his brother was really capable of provoking enemies. It was fine if Su Ziyan didn't like him, but even Jia Ping would be offended. He gave Kou Xiao a sneaky look, and always said in peacemaking: "The big swallow can Knowing each other is already fate, after getting along for a long time, we will naturally get to know each other, today is the day when I first take office, let's have a drink together?"

After drinking for three rounds, the scene became lively and the atmosphere was much better than before. Kou Xiao approached Jia Ping and asked in a low voice: "What's the matter with your marriage? If you don't want to, I can refuse it for you. "

Jia Ping didn't know where his kindness came from, and looked at him without saying a word.

"Hey, don't you believe it? Do you still doubt my intentions?" Kou Xiao touched his cheek, thinking that the word "bad guy" might be written on his face, "You don't have to doubt it, I just don't want your It's just troublesome to the prince."

"No, people always want to get married." Jia Ping said a little disappointed.

"Even so, you have to find someone you like. After all, do you like women?"

Jia Ping didn't speak again, he couldn't tell whether he liked women or not, but as long as they got married, they could live on.

"It's the niece of Lord Kong Kaen, right?"

Jia Ping nodded.

"Have you seen it?"

Jia Ping didn't know where his curiosity came from, but he still told the truth, "I saw it once through the screen."

"That's called meeting? Do you know what she looks like and her temperament?"

Jia Ping replied impatiently: "You will know when you become a relative."

Kou Xiao snorted coldly, "You rich and powerful children are pedantic. Marriage is a major event in life. If you haven't met or understood it, how do you know that you like it? If you don't get along, you have to live like this for the rest of your life."

"So what? Who doesn't live like this?"

"Hey, then I wish you good luck." Kou Xiaoyan said insincerely. Blind marriage is indeed a matter of luck. If you are lucky, you may see each other's eyes and live a beautiful life with each other. If you are unlucky, it will be miserable. .

Fortunately, if a man doesn't like the main room, he can still take concubines, but it will be miserable for a woman, and she can only live in such a stupid way in this life.

"What are you two whispering?" Situ Yong yelled at Kou Xiao and Jia Ping with a glass of wine in his hand, "Come here and give this general a top, I'm about to vomit."

Situ Yong's promotion to the commander is naturally the object of countless people's curry favor. Today's banquet is basically a celebration for him. It is the result of his drinking capacity that he is not drunk until now.

But the wine in his stomach was almost pouring into his throat, and he would definitely vomit if he drank any more, so he had to call Kou Xiao to stop the drink.

This time he drank until dark, Kou Xiao also drank too much, he sent someone back to the palace and said he would not go back today, so he rested in his own camp.

Su Ziyan planned to live in the barracks. In a day, his subordinates also set up his tent. He was so drunk that he fell asleep after struggling to take a bath.

Jia Ping didn't intend to live in the barracks, but as a lieutenant general, the camp also prepared his residence, but no one arranged it for him, so he just looked naked.

He was in a bad mood, and it was inevitable that he would drink away his sorrows. He was the first one to drink down, and he was completely carried into the house.

Early in the morning of the second day, when the four of them met, they found that everyone's face was a little blue, which showed how much the wine was drunk.

Su Ziyan's eyes flashed, and he asked Kou Xiao calmly: "Yesterday, I saw that General Kou sent someone to inform the family. It seems that I haven't heard the news of General Kou's marriage. Could it be that there is Jiaoer hiding in the general's mansion?"

Kou Xiao didn't expect him to pay attention to such a trivial matter, so the corners of his mouth curled up, "That's not true, it's just that I made an appointment with King Shun yesterday to re-fortify the palace, but I couldn't go back as promised, so I sent someone to inform me."

"So it turns out that General Kou and the prince really have a close relationship."

Kou Xiao could hear the sour taste in this sentence, and secretly thought: Is this Su Ziyan old with Li Xu?But I never heard Li Xu mention it. When they mentioned this person that day, Li Xu's face was as usual, no different from a stranger.

"After all, we've been together for four years, so it's not wrong to say that we have a close relationship." Kou Xiao admitted generously, and even wished to tell him that he and Li Xu were already married and married couples.

Jia Ping glanced at Kou Xiao, and the loss in his eyes became more obvious.

On this day, everyone didn't do anything serious, and met with their subordinates. Except for Situ Yong, the other two came from other places. Any yamen has the habit of being xenophobic, and Gyeonggi Camp is no exception. Fortunately, Kou Xiao He came in as an instructor, and after he defeated Mu Ziying in the martial arts competition, no one in the army dared to underestimate him.

However, Jia Ping and Su Ziyan are both from aristocratic families, they are naturally taller than others, and they have their own way of how to control people. Moreover, both of them have led soldiers and fought in battles. The docile post.
