Has Your Majesty abdicated today?

The dining tables in Chunrong Building are generally square tables with a bench that can seat up to two people. When Qi Chu, Xie Yu, and Tang Ning eat, they each occupy a bench on the east, south, and west sides. When Shi Ping came in, only the north bench was unoccupied.

The three of them had their own thoughts, but they didn't want Mu Shiping to sit at the same table with them, so no one paid any attention to him.

But Mu Shiping was a natural acquaintance, he didn't mean to ask the three people at the table at all, he just sat on Qi Chu's bench, saw the steaming beef soup in front of Qi Chu, and didn't ask his opinion, He took a sip of the soup.

Looking at Qi Chu, he said, "There is a familiar fragrance of beauty in the soup."

Mu Shiping drank the soup that Xie Fan asked for Qi Chu, Qi Chu subconsciously glanced at Xie Fan, but found that Xie Fan was also looking at him, there was some pity in his eyes, whether it was a pity for the soup or a pity for the person.

Xie Yu hooked the corners of his lips, and casually grabbed a waiter, and asked earnestly, "Is the cook who cooks beef soup in your restaurant a beauty?"

The clerk gave him a surprised look, thinking that this person might be crazy, but the customer looked at either rich or expensive, and said, "Guest officer...you should see for yourself!"

He held back his laughter and shouted to the kitchen: "Zhu Si!"

A majestic voice responded, "Here we come!"

After a while, a fat, white man with beards and a bunt appeared. When he walked, his huge belly swayed. The bunt was a bit short, and the hair on his abdomen could be seen vaguely.

Xie Fan yin and yang said strangely: "It really is 'beautiful fragrance'."

Tangning couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Although Qi Chu had a sullen face, he still accidentally smiled.

That Mu Shiping's face was a little uncomfortable, he gave Xie Yu a dissatisfied look, and said: "What's the matter with the cook, I'm talking about Yuanji!"

After all, Qi Chu couldn't hold back and cooperated with Xie Fan, and said to Mu Shiping solemnly: "This bowl of soup has just been served, and I haven't touched it."

Mu Shiping stopped talking immediately, and the anger flashed across her face.

The cook called Zhu Si came over and said inexplicably: "I don't know what the guest officer wants to do with the young one!"

Before Xie Yu could speak in the future, Mu Shiping angered the cook and said, "Ugly things that have no eyesight, get out and get in the way of the uncle's eyes!"

Xie Yu's eyes turned cold, and said: "This man is the one calling me, what's the matter with Mr. Guan Mu." After finishing speaking, he gave the chef a little silver and said, "The soup is delicious, I asked you to come out to eat Reward you."

The chef left thankfully, and Xie Fan gave the guy some coins, and the guy happily left the hall.

Mu Shiping looked at Xie Yu with cold eyes, sneered with unknown meaning, and said: "I have heard that the Northern Dynasty's products are scarce, but I still don't believe it. Today, Master Zhong believes it. There is nothing good in the Northern Dynasty, just a bowl of beef. The soup is also worthy of special praise, according to my son, this beef soup is extremely unpalatable, without shredded ginger, you can taste the fishy smell of beef in the mouth! It is really not a success!"

Tangning smiled and said, "My Yuanbao doesn't like ginger, so I asked for this specially for him."

Mu Shiping pretended to drink the soup again, smacked it twice, and said, "Suddenly I feel that the beef soup without ginger has a different flavor!"

Qi Chu looked at Mu Shiping's domineering president-like smile of "I just love you", and didn't even bother to hide the impatience on his face.

This Mr. Mu has a good-looking skin, why is he so frivolous and greasy?

This embarrassing technique... He really can't praise it.Qi Chu boldly guessed that most of the reason why Mu Shiping was able to achieve the achievement of beheading a hundred people was because of the fragrance of power and money.

When Mu Shiping was teasing him at full speed, Xie Yu suddenly stood up and left with a blank expression.

Seeing Xie Yu leave, Mu Shiping thought that he had retreated in spite of the difficulties, and immediately became more proud, and said to Qi Chu: "Yuanji, it seems that this small official from the Northern Dynasty knows that he is not good enough for you, now seeing me here, Feeling ashamed and retreating.”

Qi Chu: "..." A person like Mu Shiping is probably the same as the son of Sun Taiwei he met in the Northern Dynasty. He entered the aristocratic class by relying on his own family. The petty officials feel that they have no character.

Right now, the "Master Zhong" of the Northern Dynasty played by Xie Yu probably has such a status in Mu Shiping's heart.Even though it was rumored in Lingzhou that Qi Chu had an old relationship with this Lord Zhong, Mu Shiping still did not regard this "Master Zhong" as his competitor. fight!

As for Qi Chu, in the eyes of outsiders, he seems to be very obsessed with him, but Qi Chu knows that this Mr. Mu does not regard him as an equal person, but a plaything that does not need to be respected... In his eyes, this The junior junior brother of the national teacher is just a little Taoist priest who is attached to the national teacher, and he is not qualified to have a relationship with him. It is just a prop for him to prove his charm.

Although Qi Chu is inexperienced, he doesn't have the slightest feeling for Mu Shiping. From the perspective of an "outsider", he can see the inside story clearly.

If this Mr. Mu really liked him, why would he harass him again and again regardless of his wishes, proudly announcing in public that he likes Qi Chu? Never thought about Qi Chu's feelings... Although the world does not exclude masculinity, in ancient society, a woman's confession in public would cause gossip, let alone a man.

It can be seen from this that Mu Shiping didn't treat Qi Chu sincerely, but just regarded him as a plaything to relieve boredom in the recent free time...

Qi Chu could see clearly that he was not very angry in his heart. This Mu Shiping was an irrelevant person. Facing his various entanglements, he had the right to think that there was a fly around him. and flew away...

He also remembered that when Xie Yu first came to the Southern Dynasty, he was asked to "publicly come out" on the Shangsi Festival. Apart from forcing him to submit, it also showed that Xie Yu didn't have the slightest respect for him at that time...

Qi Chu felt depressed, and became even more impatient when he saw the empty seat opposite and the annoying Mu Shiping next to him...

Suddenly a hand was stretched out from the side to gently put a bowl of beef soup on the table, Qi Chu knew who the owner of this hand was without looking back...

The hands in front of me are thin and fair, with a shallow pit under the index finger joint. The owner is used to knocking on the table with his slender index finger when thinking, and when holding the cup and putting it down, he is as calm and elegant as a painting. This hand... is exactly Xie Fan's hand.

Those hands brushed the fallen flowers on his cloak for him, picked up his favorite vegetables, knocked on his head, and fed him medicine...

Qi Chu didn't turn his head, but heard Xie Yu standing behind him and said, "Drink it quickly, to save yourself from being snatched away."

His voice was low, but there was no ambiguity in it, and it even carried a hint of coldness.

Qi Chu: "..." It turned out that he didn't leave, but went to the back kitchen to get the soup for him himself.

Xie Yu was an ancient scholar who believed in the view that "a gentleman stays away from the kitchen". In the past, Qi Chu liked to go to the imperial dining room to search for delicious food. " and other ancient teachings, he was punished to copy several big characters.

Xie Yu even thought the imperial dining room was a "low place", but today he personally went to the back kitchen of a restaurant to get him a bowl of beef soup without shredded ginger. For a moment, Qi Chu didn't know what it was like in his heart.

Fortunately, Xie Yan kept their promise at that time very much, put down the soup and returned to his seat, and did not take the opportunity to pester him.

Tangning, who watched everything around, smiled and said, "This is the second bowl...you can just take a sip, ahem, Mr. Zhong is also kind."

Qi Chu rolled his eyes at Tang Ning, who was a dog and a mouse, but he still drank the soup after all.

Mu Shiping watched him drink the soup with his head down, his eyes became more and more unfriendly.

Suddenly, a charming whisper came from upstairs, saying: "Mu Mu~"

Everyone looked up and saw a woman with heavy makeup and red clothes winking at their table. The arm with five or six golden bracelets was waving an arm similar to her clothes. The colored handkerchief said, "I haven't seen Mu Mu for a while, so I have a new love."

Mu Shiping said again in that flamboyant tone that Qi Chu couldn't bear: "How about it, isn't it beautiful!" His tone was as if Qi Chu was his cat and dog.

Qi Chu immediately lost his appetite.

He stood up and said to Young Master Mu: "Young Master Mu, take it easy, I will take my leave."

After speaking, Qi Chu left.

When I was leaving, I heard the woman behind me teasingly saying: "The beauty is angry, isn't Mu Mu going to coax her?"

What Mu Shiping said, Qi Chu didn't hear clearly...but he didn't follow, Qi Chu was relieved.

Except for Chun Rong Lou, Tang Ning bid him farewell, saying that she had something to do to go somewhere.

Qi Chu and him met each other, and did not return to the National Teacher's Mansion. They wandered alone in the street. After walking a few steps, they turned around and suddenly saw Xie Fan following him, keeping a close distance from him.

Qi Chu stopped and looked at him, Xie Yu also stood there and did not approach him.

There was an unknown fire in his heart. He didn't know whether he hated Xie Yan who was following him, or hated something else. He walked up to Xie Yan, looked at him and said coldly: "It's not that we will be strangers in the future, treat it as if we don't know each other. ?"

Xie Yu took a deep look at him, as if he wanted to reflect him in his eyes and engrave him in his heart, he said: "I went back and thought for a long time about what you said that day, and everything you said was right, it was mine. The wish is not yours. Since you don't want to be an emperor and want to be free, then I will give you back your freedom. Dayu, I will take good care of you... You can stay at ease in the Southern Dynasty. You have no bad intentions."

Hearing the meaning in his words, Qi Chu seemed to be saying goodbye, he looked at Xie Chen and said, "What are you talking about?"

Xie Yu's eyes were stern, but when he smiled, he looked gentle and sad. He said: "Your Majesty, I will leave the Southern Dynasty soon... You are my student. Although I have used you in various ways in the past, you are also me after all. The first person in my life who has really taken care of me is my..." Xie Chen thought for a moment, then said, "I'm like a child, I can't help but want to take care of you when I see you... Please don't take care of today's matter. Too concerned."

Qi Chu ignored his words and said, "Are you leaving?"

Xie Yu said: "Yes, it is estimated that an agreement will be reached on the matter of trade in the near future. I will go back with the mission in a few days. Originally, I came this time for you. Since you don't go back, I will stay here It doesn't make any sense..." He laughed at himself, and said, "...Forget it, seeing you live comfortably now, I feel comforted in my heart... It's just that Mr. Mu is not a good man, so you must not be with him. so as not to be sad."

Qi Chu rolled his eyes and said in a low voice, "I know my own affairs, so don't worry about it."

Xie Yu was not angry when he heard his confrontation, he followed Qi Chu's words and said: "Well, I know you have grown up, but you still can't help the old habits, maybe teachers are like this to students, you just When I say too much."

Qi Chu heard that what he said was a teacher-student friendship, and he didn't know how to answer immediately, and the two walked into the National Teacher's Mansion with their heads depressed.

They lived in one east and one west, and they were about to part after passing the screen wall in the courtyard. Xie Yu suddenly said: "After leaving the Southern Dynasty, we may never see each other again in this life..."

Hearing this, Qi Chu stopped in his tracks and did not speak.

He was originally waiting for Xie Yan to say some farewell words, but unexpectedly, Xie Yan was silent for a moment and asked, "Do you still have enough money?"

Qi Chu: "..."

Xie Yu took out a stuffed light yellow brocade bag from his arms. Qi Chu knew this brocade bag. It was the brocade bag that Xie Yi had wrapped for him during the Northern Dynasty. Seeing that the brocade bag was handed over to He said: "You can keep the money, and if you encounter a dangerous situation, you can still be close to it..." Perhaps because he was afraid that he would not accept it, Xie Fan said again, "It is you who sold Dayu to me."

Qi Chu: "..."

Mixed feelings.

He didn't take the money bag, Xie Yu kept stretching out his hand, Qi Chu still didn't take it in the end, he muttered: "Isn't there still some time, give it to me when you leave later!" Xie Fan replied, turned around and walked away.

Qi Chu felt restless, he didn't understand himself more and more, Xie Yu's leaving was obviously a good thing, why didn't he feel happy at all, instead he felt a little sad...

He sat under the corridor of the west courtyard, looking up at the floating clouds in the sky.

At that time, he was the one who asked Xie Fan not to pester him again, but now that Xie Fan kept his promise, he became even more irritable!

Ahhhhh, why is he so hypocritical! ! !

Qi Chu was so angry that he clenched his fist and hit his head twice.

Suddenly, I heard a low-pitched voice behind me saying: "You are just Mr. Mu, if you don't like to avoid it, you don't need to hurt yourself for him!!!"

Qi Chu turned around and saw Tangning standing behind him. He was so frightened that he almost fell off the corridor. He supported his chest and said, "Can you walk like a female ghost?"

Tangning felt that she had been wronged. His footsteps were loud and clear. It was because this guy was thinking about something on his own that he didn't hear it. Why did he blame him instead!

But right now is not the time to worry about this. Tangning sat on the corridor in the opposite direction, handed Qi Chu a candied haws, and said, "Xie Yu is leaving?"

Qi Chu nodded, took a bite of candied haws, and pretended to be calm.

Looking at his calm expression, Tangning grabbed the candied haws and said, "You still have the mood to eat candied haws!"

Qi Chu looked at him inexplicably, and said, "Did you take the wrong medicine today?! You gave me the candied haws yourself, so why ask me the other way around!"

Tangning anxiously said, "Xie Yu is going back, what about our mission! Do you still want to go back to modern times?!"

Qi Chu waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, Xie Yu wants to unify the world more than you do. He will definitely come to attack the Southern Dynasty in a few years after he returns! We can go back then!"

Tangning looked at him with a foolish expression, and said, "Aren't you stupid? Can he just unify the world? There's also a love line! Love line!!!"

Qi Chu was dumbfounded, he said: "Why don't we match up the Empress and Xie Fan?!"

Tangning laughed angrily, and said, "He even admitted in front of the Empress that he had broken his sleeve, why are they together?!!!"

Qi Chu: "..."

Tangning said, "Follow him back to Beichao and help him find his love..."

Qi Chu: "Why don't you go by yourself!"

Tang Ning said angrily, "Do you think I haven't been in contact with him? He thought I had ulterior motives, so he rejected me!" Then he said unreasonably, "It's all your fault, if it wasn't for Xie Fen's coming to Nanchao, I would have offended you If I leave him, can he refuse to cooperate with me? If you can't finish Xie Chen's love line, you can promise it with your body!"

Tangning's offense against Xie Yu was indeed for him, Qi Chu felt a little wronged, and immediately stopped talking.

Tangning persisted and continued to persuade, "I am the Imperial Teacher of the Southern Dynasty, and I have assassinated him before, do you think he will believe me?!

What's more, the system arranged me in the Southern Dynasty, which means that Xie Yu will probably use me when he brushes the Southern Dynasty dungeon. If I go to the Northern Dynasty with him now, not to mention what will happen to the empress, if it makes him unable to complete the Southern Dynasty dungeon, Isn't it worth the candle? !What's more, if he can finish the dungeon earlier and make up his mind and move towards the pinnacle of life, we can also leave this world earlier! "

Qi Chudao: "What the hell did you say at the beginning? You don't want me to participate in what you said, take me to lie down and win, why do you want me to be a matchmaker for Xie Yu now! No way! I refuse!!!"

Tang Ning said earnestly, "Don't get excited. You should analyze carefully. Right now, he has agreed to your meditation position. Our most important step has been completed. Now we just need you to follow him to the Northern Dynasty and match him up with some love lines. Just let him own Sannomiya Sixth Hospital and be a qualified stallion."

While saying these words, Tangning recalled what Xie Fan said about using Qi Chu earlier, and felt guilty for a few seconds... But the temptation to return to modern times is too great. The best arrangement right now is for him to return to the In modern times, his brother gets love...

Qi Chu jumped off the beauty bed, and shouted as he walked, "I won't go!"

Tang Ning rubbed her chin and showed a sly smile. The boy said whether to go or not, but his heart was obviously moved. He felt that he had no face, so he fled in despair.

Xie Fen entered his courtyard, and saw Qiushuang, disguised as a servant, waiting for him at the door of the main room. When he entered the room, Qiushuang followed him into the room.

Xie Fan lazily leaned on the back of the chair and asked, "How is things going?"

Qiu Shuang said: "King Qin wants to meet you tomorrow at the Zhongnan Taoist Temple in the outskirts of the city."

Xie Yu nodded slightly, indicating that he knew, and asked again: "Are you ready for the meeting ceremony for King Qin?"

Qiu Shuang said: "It has been prepared for a long time."

Xie Fan said: "Good job, let's go down."

After Qiushuang left, Xie Yu knocked on the table with his index finger, as if he was thinking about something, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, Qi Chu was very familiar with this smile, it was the smile that only appeared when Xie Yu wanted to calculate something.

The author has something to say: Thank you Jiusheng for taking care of mine.
