Overlord's Road to Ancient Emperors

In the capital, Liu Shu was so busy preparing for the enthronement ceremony that he didn't touch the ground. There are many people who can be used in the palace, but the matter is important, and he does everything by himself. Court officials checked the details bit by bit.

"Mr. Liu, the new dragon robe is here. Hurry up and send it to the prince to try it on. If it is not suitable, there is still time to change it." The master master of Xiufang led dozens of people to rush to work day and night, and then made the enthronement ceremony A few dresses to wear that day.

Liu Shu touched the embroidery on the dragon robe, and he could see that the craftsmanship was exquisite. The dragon robe was regulated. These old craftsmen also had experience in making it. The old craftsman had no way to start.

In the Dayan Dynasty, the empress was the head of the harem, and the rest were almost all called wives. Those without rank were ordinary beauties and concubines. The harem had not had a queen for many years. The craftsman who made the phoenix robes for the queen had passed away. They can do it while groping, but they just made the first phoenix robe when they heard Manager Liu say that this style is not good.

Isn't that the phoenix robe, what other styles can there be?During the conferring ceremony, the empress would wear a phoenix robe and parade through the streets with the new emperor, then go to the ancestral temple to worship the ancestors and ancestors, and then change into a dress to attend the palace banquet. The dress can have different styles, and the phoenix robe has always been the same.

Of course Liu Shu knew this, but this time their queen was a man, so she couldn't wear a woman's style to take the throne, it would probably become a joke in the world.

Liu Shu had organized a wedding for Li Xu and Kou Xiao, so he probably knew what Li Xu liked, and it was impossible for him to let Kou Xiao walk by his side in disguise.

Therefore, how to determine the style of the phoenix robe became a difficult task. Li Xu did not dare to make the same style for Kou Xiao according to the appearance of the dragon robe. The only phoenix robe for male queens.

The old craftsman asked frightenedly: "Is such a phoenix robe really doable? There is also a phoenix crown. I don't know what to make? I have no idea how to do it."

Liu Shu had been prepared for a long time, and threw him a blueprint, the old craftsman took it and looked at it, his eyes lit up, "It's really beautiful, dignified yet elegant, simple yet precious, which artist's craft is this? "

Liu Shu said indifferently: "What are you asking so much about? Hurry up and tell someone to do it. Our family will send someone to deliver the night pearl in the center of the phoenix crown later, and the gems inlaid on it must be the same size. Within ten days It must be done, otherwise it will be up to our family to deal with you!"

"Yes, but, is this phoenix crown too simple? It looks like it is worn by a man. Could it be that our empress is a female general who doesn't like red makeup?"

Liu Shu glanced at him with a half-smile and motioned him to shut up. It is estimated that few people will believe this matter. Their Dayan Dynasty is about to usher in a male queen. It is estimated that after the enthronement ceremony, all the students in the world will It's time to chew my tongue, but fortunately, the prince has a countermeasure.

"Do it well. If the two masters are satisfied with the rewards, it's no problem to get promoted and get rich."

"You must do your best. Don't worry. As for the dragon robe, you'd better let the prince try it on today, otherwise you won't have time to change it."

Liu Shu ordered someone to look for Li Xu with the dragon robe. He went around the palace, but he didn't see him anywhere. The servants who served him by his side were also gone. Finally, he asked the guards of the Habayashi Army to find out. Palace went.

Liu Shu immediately rushed to Shun Palace with people and clothes, and Li Xu would come back to live occasionally, or come back to see things and think about others when he misses Kou Xiao.

When we reached the gate, we asked the concierge. Sure enough, Li Xu had been there, but he left again a quarter of an hour ago.

"My lord went back to the palace again?" Liu Shu asked in surprise. He came all the way from the palace, but he didn't meet King Shun on the way. This road is the shortest and most spacious. There is no reason that King Shun would take other roads.

The old man at the concierge shook his head and said, "I don't know about this little one, but the prince left with luggage and more guards than usual. Oh, those father-in-laws are still in the mansion, you can ask them."

Liu Shu had a lot of things to do, and when he couldn't serve Li Xu personally, he would send a few other eunuchs to follow Li Xu, helping with small things like tea and water, which Li Xu would take with him wherever he went.

Liu Shu ran into the mansion and saw several young eunuchs were at a loss in the hall, their faces full of panic.

"Where is the prince? Why didn't you follow?" Liu Shu asked with his arms crossed.

When a young eunuch named Liu Quan saw Liu Shu crying and shouting, he rushed over and hugged his thigh, "Godfather, my lord, he ran away!"

That's right, Liu Shu also took in his godsons, just like the road that the owner would take. These are all his godsons, one of them is even older than him, and they all changed their surnames to Liu after him.

He grabbed Liu Quan's ear and asked, "What do you mean the prince has run away? Did he get upset so he ran out to relax? Didn't he say that he went with many guards? It must be because you didn't enjoy serving him, and the prince despises it."

Liu Quan didn't even care about the pain, grabbed Liu Shu's hand and said, "No, godfather, the prince... he's out of the city, and he said he's going to the northwest!"

"Go to the northwest?" Liu Shu exclaimed, stunned for a while, and suddenly sat on the ground and burst into tears, "My lord, how can you leave your servant and go away by yourself? You have to bring your servant to saddle you, woo woo ..."

The little eunuch at the side handed over a letter in time, "Godfather, this is a letter from the prince, and he said that you will know what to do after reading it."

Liu Shu's crying stopped abruptly, and he grabbed the letter and cursed: "Why didn't you say earlier, the prince must have an important task for our family, can you afford to delay it?"

The content of the letter was very short. Li Xu briefly explained his whereabouts. He was going to the Northwest to pick up Kou Xiao. He had just received a report from the Northwest government. It has been snowing heavily in the Northwest recently. It is estimated that the official documents will not be delivered in a few days. They are here, so I want to give the court an early warning, so as not to say that they are delaying their official duties.

He asked Liu Shu to stay in the palace and take care of everything in the palace for him. Anyway, there is not even a serious master in the palace, so it is good for the servants under him not to make trouble. Nothing will happen in the short term.

Liu Shu smiled wryly and said: "Your Highness is so hearty, he let go of the power before he sat on the throne. Come on, hurry up and stare at the eldest prince next door, and report as soon as you make a move!"

Liu Shu was not afraid that someone would play tricks. The entire army in the capital was under the control of King Shun. If anyone had the courage to stand out, the commanders would not be vegetarians.

But what he was worried about was the prince's safety, so he grabbed Liu Quan and asked, "How many guards did the prince bring?"

"It's probably a few hundred people, but I didn't see it clearly."

"What a waste, all go back to the palace, and wash the Gong bucket for a month!"

＊＊＊＊＊＊

After leaving the capital, Li Xu rushed all the way to the northwest. Because of the cold weather, he didn't run fast, and he didn't dare to run fast. He was afraid of passing Kou Xiao, so after he ran to the border of Shangjun, he was on the way back to Beijing. Waiting on the road.

"My lord, the wind and snow are too heavy, the general may be blocked on the road." Guo Fu said anxiously.

"Counting the days, no matter how slow you walk, you will have already completed half of the way. Let's wait here. If we haven't received anyone after three days, we will send someone to move on."

Guo Fu actually disapproved of him making this trip, the weather was bad, and the prince's status was precious, so if there was a mistake, he couldn't explain it to General Kou.

"My lord, why don't we go live in the city, the conditions here are too bad, your health is critical."

"No, with Kou Xiao's personality, he may not enter the city after passing here. If he doesn't enter the city, wouldn't he not know that we are coming? Moreover, the yard of this house is well built, and there is a kang in the house. I don’t care about this king.” Li Xu also couldn’t explain why he insisted on making this trip, since Kou Xiao was going to return to Beijing, he couldn’t help but ran home from the palace, and then Thinking of the heavy snowfall in the northwest, I took people out of the city as soon as my head got hot.

"Then my subordinates will make arrangements. Judging by the weather, it will definitely snow. The roof should be reinforced to prevent it from collapsing under the weight of snow."

"Go, go, help the people in the town to do it, let them see a cavalry passing by and let us know." The weather was too cold, and Li Xu couldn't go out and wait, so he spent most of the day huddled in the In the house, more precisely, they were sitting on the kang. The courtyard they lived in was the other courtyard of the town gentry. Li Xu paid for the rent for a few days, and asked the owner to borrow some books to read.

The squire didn't know his identity, but from the number of guards he brought and his aura, he knew that he was not an ordinary dignitary. Every day, he sent people to wash, cook, clean for Li Xu and the others, taking care of them very thoughtfully.

Guo Fu left dozens of people guarding the yard, and the rest went out in batches, secretly observing the surroundings of the town, and getting acquainted with the villagers at the same time.

Helping with roof repairs, that shoveling snow, helpful people are always welcome, what's more, this group of old men looks very strong and strong, not ordinary people.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye, but Li Xu lived like a year. The books he borrowed were almost torn apart. In the end, he just left to cook in the kitchen. Not only did he make several desserts that Kou Xiao loved, but he also made sausages and smoked goose.

Guo Fu braved the wind and snow and pushed the door in. The door opened a crack, and the bitter cold wind came in. Li Xu adjusted his hat and turned around to tell him: "Let everyone go back to the house and have a drink later. Eat hot pot with a little wine to warm up your body, and there is no need to send people there, it is estimated that they will stay somewhere in this weather and wait for the snow to lighten before leaving."

Guo Fu nodded, bolted the door and came to help. The smell of meat filled the kitchen, which made people's index fingers move. At first, the servants who came to help were surprised that this noble-looking young man could cook and eat. Up to now, all of them are smelling the smell of food with hada seeds, and they only hope that the nobleman will leave them a bite to eat later.

Li Xu worked for a long time, and finally brought out a few large pots, which were placed on a charcoal basin, and inside were thick soup made from bones, as well as all kinds of food that he could find.

Anyway, eating hot pot is to eat an atmosphere, as long as you can eat it, you can throw it away.

"Okay, I'll give you the rest of the pot. Get some ingredients and cook it yourself. Thank you for your care these few days." Li Xu said politely to the servants of the other courtyard.

Back in the main room, the guards had already warmed up the wine and waited. When they saw the big iron pot brought in, they cheered, "We should eat shabu-shabu in this weather, and the prince cooked it himself. We are lucky."

Li Xu was very familiar with them, and usually he didn't have too much airs. He sat on the main seat and said, "Just drink some wine in moderation. Don't get drunk. Feel free to eat meat and vegetables, and buy them if you don't have enough."

When going out, everyone did not dare to drink wantonly. They just tasted it lightly, and it was over after warming their stomachs.

Halfway through the meal, someone knocked on the door, and a servant came to look for Guo Fu. He didn't know what to say to him. Guo Fu's face showed joy. Seeing that Li Xu's food was delicious, he got up and sneaked out the door.

It was a young man who came to report the letter, wearing a thick cotton-padded coat and cotton cap, with his hands under his armpits, stomping his feet and said: "Officer, I am here to report the message. You said you saw the cavalry passing by and told you that I just now When I left the town to collect firewood, I saw a group of people entering the town, and entered the largest inn in the town, I wonder if it is the person you are looking for."

"What do most of them look like?"

"About a hundred or ten people, all of them are wrapped in thick coats, wearing hats and scarves. They can't see their faces clearly, but they are menacing. They look like military masters."

"You lead the way." Guo Fu gave him a reward, and then went out with two soldiers.

Xiaobing covered his mouth and asked loudly: "Vice General Guo, shouldn't we tell the prince first?"

"No, let's go and have a look first. What if it's not the general and the others? It's freezing cold, so there's no need for the prince to make a trip for nothing." And in terms of rules, it should be the general and the others who came to visit the prince.

The town is not big, and the inn is not far away. Before entering the door, Guo Fu saw a tall horse tied outside. This breed is definitely a war horse. He was overjoyed, and walked over quickly, but was stopped before entering. "Wait a minute, we have booked this inn, there are no extra vacancies, you go to another one."

Guo Fu looked up at the person blocking him, and sure enough, only one pair of eyes was exposed all over his body, but even so, he still recognized the person, wasn't it his former comrade-in-arms?

He patted the man's shoulder with one hand, and the thick cotton coat made no sound, "Hey, Big Bear, why do you keep guarding the door for people today?"

"Deputy General Guo?" The Kou Jiajun called out excitedly, "Why are you here? Come in quickly."

Guo Fu strode into the inn, the lobby was full of people, there were not enough tables, and some people sat on the stairs with bowls to eat, eating deliciously.

Guo Fu took off his hat and scarf, and shouted, "Where is General Kou?"

"It's Vice-General Guo!" Kou's army exclaimed when they came to acquaintances, one by one came over with their jobs. They had been separated for more than a year, and they really missed their companions in their hometown.

"Tsk, you've worked hard on the road one by one. Judging by the way you eat, don't you have been hungry for several days?" Guo Fu joked.

"I'm not hungry, but I can't eat well. It's so cold that it's hard to even start a fire. I spend most of the day eating dry food. When I go to a place where there are people, the first thing I do is to eat hot food. comfortable."

Someone answered Guo Fu's question just now, "General Kou, Junshi Jiang, and several other generals went upstairs to take a bath first. The conditions are limited, and we have to take turns to take a hot bath."

"Which one is upstairs? I need to find General Kou urgently."

When everyone saw him here, they knew it must be something urgent. A member of the Kou family army led him, and knocked on the door of Kou Xiao's room for him.

Kou Xiao just came out of the bucket. They were driving in the heavy snow. Everyone had frostbite on their bodies, especially their hands and feet. The frostbite had stopped growing. Kou Xiao’s feet were fine, and his hands and ten fingers were swollen like carrots. Yes, it was stinging and stinging when soaked in water just now, and now I am applying medicine.

There was a knock on the door, and Kou Xiao said lazily, "Come in, just put the food on the table."

The door was pushed open, and a familiar voice shouted: "General, the subordinates have come down."

Kou Xiao turned his head, frowned and asked, "Guo Fu, why are you here? Didn't you be told to guard the prince closely?"

Guo Fu scratched his head, and said with a smile: "Because the prince is also in this town, and the subordinates are here to escort the prince."

"What?" Kou Xiao got up with a "whoosh", walked past him, and asked as he walked, "Where is he? Why did he come here? When did he arrive..." Guo Fu had no choice but to chase after each question. answer.

Knowing Li Xu's whereabouts, Kou Xiao went downstairs and snatched a padded coat from a soldier and put it on, strode out, and soon there was the neighing of a horse.

"What's the matter? Where is the general going?"

Guo Fu waved his hand and said loudly: "You guys just wait here, the general will come whenever he goes."

They said they would come as soon as they said they would go, but they didn't see Kou Xiao all night.

In the other courtyard, Kou Xiao broke through the door, and several guards rushed towards him with their swords drawn. When they saw him, they put away their weapons and saluted. When they raised their heads, Kou Xiao had already run away and disappeared.

Guo Fu was out of breath after chasing him, he held onto the door frame and said to himself, "You run so fast, you don't know where the prince lives."

Although Kou Xiao didn't know, he would guess. With Li Xu's status, he naturally lived in the main courtyard. The houses on the north side were very rough, and the east, west, north, south, north, and south could be easily distinguished. Going to the center was definitely right.

It was getting dark quickly in winter, and only the fluorescence of snow was left. Kou Xiao could see in the dark, and he found the main courtyard with precision. He was a little nervous when he raised his hand to knock on the door.

It's been a long time since I saw each other, and the longing has been deep into my bones, like an old wound, and I can feel heartache after a while. He knocked on the door lightly, and a familiar voice quickly came from inside, "What's the matter?" Then came the slight sound of water.

Kou Xiao swallowed his saliva, with this voice, it is not hard to imagine what Li Xu is doing.

He knocked on the door again, and said in a different voice: "My lord, I have something important to report."

The movement inside the door stopped for a moment, then only the sound of someone coming out of the water was heard, and after a while, Li Xu's cold voice came out through the door panel: "What's the matter? Tell me."

This is not right, Kou Xiao rubbed his itchy fingers, coughed twice, and begged: "My lord, it's too cold outside, can I let my subordinates go in and talk about it?"

Li Xu didn't know what he was thinking, and he spoke after a while, but his voice was a little far away, "Okay, come in."

Kou Xiao happily pushed open the door, and as soon as he raised his feet, he noticed something unusual. A bucket of water poured down on his head. He avoided it with his body and soul, but he still wet his clothes unavoidably. In front of the window of the room, Li Xu Holding a dagger in his hand, he was about to jump out of the window.

This scene was extremely funny, Kou Xiao didn't expect their long-lost reunion to be messed up because of his own joke, he couldn't help laughing, "My lord, is that how you welcome your wife?"

Li Xu was already shivering from the wind. He had just climbed out of the bathtub, and he was only wearing a coat casually. The strange voice outside made him suspicious. The person insisted on entering the house, so he thought it was someone The thief came in, but unexpectedly it belonged to his family.

He closed the window with a "snap", walked towards Kou Xiao with strides, grabbed his neck and asked, "It's fun, isn't it, I was almost scared to death by you!"

His cold hands were pressed against Kou Xiao's warm skin, and he didn't want to leave for a moment, and he inserted them into his collar spiritually, sticking them to a warmer position.

Who can bear it, Kou Xiao simply peeled off the unfit cotton padded clothes, and embraced him in his arms. The long-awaited hug made both of them feel a shivering feeling, as if something was slowly fermenting.

Kou Xiao lowered his head, put his lips on Li Xu's forehead, and asked in a low voice, "Did you miss me?"

Li Xu put his hands behind his back, hugged his waist tightly, and answered this question with practical actions.

Kou Xiao moved his lips down, and kissed Li Xu's cheeks bit by bit, until he found those two red lips, bit them unceremoniously, and began to suck heavily.

The bodies of the two gradually heated up, and after a long time, Li Xu asked out of breath, "When did you come?"

"Not long after entering the town, Guo Fu found him, don't you know?"

Li Xu said angrily, "I don't know, tomorrow you will reward Guo Fu with thirty military sticks, how dare you lie to me!"

His words were not convincing at all, he was limp, with a silver thread hanging from the corner of his mouth, and spring in the corner of his eyes, how could Kou Xiao resist such a temptation, he hugged him horizontally, and walked straight to the kang.

Li Xu touched Kou Xiao's hand, which was obviously different from the thickness of normal fingers. When he held it in front of him, all ten fingers were frozen into purple radishes. It’s really hard work, it’s better not to go.”

Kou Xiao laughed hoarsely, and stretched out his hand to his mouth, "Just blow it on, no matter how hard you work, it's worth it, not to mention that the general's hard work was not in vain, didn't he get a queen in exchange?" honor?"

Li Xu raised his head and glared at him, "Very honorable?"

"This... is not bad." Kou Xiaoyan said insincerely, the feeling of pain and happiness when he married Li Xu back then appeared again. No matter how nice the name of a queen sounds, a woman should have it. He is a big man. In fact, I prefer titles like Grand General and Grand Marshal, but who told his prince to be enthroned, the position of queen should naturally belong to him, and no one can take it away.

Li Xu blew on his fingers, the hot wind fell on his fingers, making people feel numb, the next moment, Li Xu's soft and moist tongue also fell on it, Kou Xiao let out a low growl, and couldn't bear it anymore , He quickly pressed the person on the kang and stripped off his clothes.

Li Xu was only wearing a coat, and when the belt was pulled, it was a seductive spring scene. Kou Xiao casually threw away his clothes, stuck on his jacket, bit Li Xu's throat and said, "Tomorrow should still be a snowy day." Bar?"

Li Xu snorted, as if answering his question, but also as if moaning meaninglessly.

Kou Xiao moved his lips and tongue down, and continued: "It must be a heavy snow day, so let's rest here for a few days before we start our journey."

Li Xu didn't understand why he was rambling on, shouldn't he be concentrating at a time like this?

Kou Xiao licked the two spots on his chest slowly, and said: "Then let's not sleep tonight, and make up for the lack of sex for this year!"

Li Xu knocked on his shoulder heavily, warning him: "Don't mess around, if I can't get out of this door tomorrow, wouldn't everyone outside know what we did?"

Kou Xiao muttered: "Even if they go out, they will know. Lonely and widowed, and a serious couple, Xiaobie is better than a newlywed, what else can you do if you don't do this?"

"Get lost, this king is clearly talking to you at night by candlelight... oh!"

Kou Xiao just bit him lightly, and instantly turned this night of holding candles into a sleep on his feet. He joked in his heart that Li Xu covered his ears and stole the bell, but he followed him and said, "Yes, we didn't do anything!"

Li Xu raised his leg and kicked him, and he couldn't help laughing, he couldn't even fool himself with such words, not to mention those people outside who knew his relationship with Kou Xiao well, forget it, ruining his reputation for a lifetime It's ruined.

Kou Xiao lowered his head and hugged the poor little girl who was ready to go, and with a few light strokes, Li Xu disarmed and surrendered.

The two looked at each other, Li Xu became furious and pushed Kou Xiao down, "Don't be complacent, you won't be much better!"

It really was a long and intense night. The two of them couldn't get out of bed the next day. Needless to say, Li Xu's whole body was sore and weak. His nose was blocked, his throat was hoarse, and he was dizzy. It was obvious that he had contracted a cold.

As for Kou Xiao, who has been busy for a year without sleep and food, and has not had a good rest during this time, he is already overtired. This time he lay down and fell asleep, and Lei Da would not wake up again. Unusual, until the next afternoon, Guo Fu and others found that the two hadn't gotten up yet, and couldn't help but want to send some food to the room.

Although I know that these two dry firewood must have forgotten the time, but they also need food to replenish their strength, otherwise the two masters will be overindulged and collapsed halfway before the others arrive in the capital.

But no one dared to knock on the door at such a time, Guo Fu put the food box at the door, and whispered into the room: "My lord, I have left your lunch at the door for you." Ran.

After another half day, Guo Fu poked his head outside the yard and found that the food box hadn't been moved, and the food inside had been frozen into ice cubes. He asked in surprise, "How can this intercourse continue for such a long time? Bit's body is made of iron, right?"

We are all men, and laughed cheaply, "We don't know if the prince is hard-hitting, but General Kou must be. The couple haven't been together for more than a year, so don't be more violent."

Having said that, everyone still cared about the health of the two masters, and pushed Guo Fu to advise, "Go quickly, let General Kou take it easy, and don't bring the prince down."

So, when Guo Fu knocked on the door again, he heard Li Xu's weak voice from inside, "Come in..."

Guo Fu's heart skipped a beat, this voice is wrong, isn't the general too aggressive?He pushed the door open a crack, and the smell in the room, which was suffocating for a day and a night, was horrible, "Wang... my lord, are you alright?"

Li Xu lay on the bed empty, Kou Xiao next to him was still asleep, he was extremely thirsty, but he didn't even have the strength to get up, "I have something to do, come in, I want a drink of water."

Guo Fu walked in cautiously. The room was carefully arranged, and there was a screen in front of the bed. He touched the kettle on the table. A cup is delivered to the bedside.

Li Xu stretched out an arm weakly, it was smooth and covered with bruises, Guo Fu closed his eyes, and handed over the teacup, "My lord, please have some tea."

"Don't shut yourself up, go and ask them if they have brought a military doctor, if not, go to the town to find a medical craftsman, the king and General Kou are both sick."

"Huh?" Guo Fu opened his eyes in fright, and after a closer look, he saw that Li Xu's face was flushed, his arms were so weak that he couldn't even hold a teacup, and he coughed twice from time to time, but he thought it was the sequelae of something.

Looking at Kou Xiao again, he didn't wake up after such a big commotion, this is a big problem, "General...what's wrong?"

It's hard for Li Xu to say that he suspects Kou Xiao's excessive indulgence, so he can only find a reason: "Too tired, aren't you? Hurry up and find someone."

Guo Fu didn't dare to delay, so he ran to find someone immediately. Taking advantage of this time, Li Xu put clothes on both of them. One layer coat.

Not long after, a group of people flooded into the room, all kinds of greetings, Li Xu had never been so embarrassed in his life, he felt as if he was surrounded by people on the bed to catch rape, and what was even more hateful was that his mistress was a man.

After such a fuss, Kou Xiao also woke up, but he was indeed not in a good condition. After the diagnosis, he also came up with an answer of fatigue. Immediately, everyone looked at them with ridicule and embarrassment.

Li Xu didn't have to explain, did he want to say that the two of them didn't do anything last night and were just chatting?
