Second minister and thief

When foreign ministers entered the palace to face the saints, they had to walk through a long road alone before they could see the tall eaves of the Chongguang Hall.

Xiao Cen walked on such a road, and suddenly lost interest in everything.Only Chu Linqiu's last gaze was still lingering in his mind, unable to get rid of it.

Then he came to the Emperor's Imperial Palace and sat on his knees. He was still in a trance, his expression was blank, and he didn't have the slightest sense of sanctity.

This Emperor Wu'an called several times, only to see that he barely raised his eyelids, but he ignored him, his face lost for a moment, and a little displeasure appeared in his eyes.

"cough......"

"Your Majesty." Xiao Cen was reminded by the deputy general beside him, only then did he realize that the emperor had been waiting for him to reply for a long time, so he straightened his face, bowed slightly, and acted as a sign of listening.

The Son of Heaven couldn't help laughing a few times when he looked like a student seeing his husband, as if the previous displeasure had long since disappeared.He raised his hand to stroke his beard, seemingly unintentionally asked, "What is Xiao Qing thinking about?"

Unexpectedly, Xiao Cen replied without thinking, "Your Majesty, I just thought that your commander of the imperial army is really a handsome man like Daqi."

"..." The old Emperor Wu'an heard the words, his eyes flickered, and he was a little surprised, so he asked tentatively, "Xiao Qing likes him?"

Xiao Cen stared down at the crystal cake on his case, and after a while, he suddenly twisted a piece of cake and said with a smile, "If you like it, you have to be blessed to enjoy it."

As soon as the words fell, he was terrified in his heart, and secretly scolded himself for being confused.The "like" that the sage said may not be the meaning he understood, but this is a good thing, he actually sent himself to the chopping block.

"Xiao Qing?"

"Ah? Your Majesty, minister..." Xiao Cen tried to explain, but unexpectedly Emperor Wu'an didn't give him this chance.

Soon, the topic was deliberately turned to the matter of returning to Dream City and appeasing the refugees.

I thought this matter would come to an end, but Emperor Wu'an took the initiative to mention Chu Linqiu's previous policy on "building the city" and praised him a lot, but he didn't mention his "violence" on Guique Street just now ".

Xiao Cen was helpless, so he had no choice but to agree with him, but he didn't realize that he got a meaningful evaluation from Emperor Wu'an, "It seems that Xiao Qing really likes him very much."

"..."

General Xiao was really suffering at this moment, he felt that from the moment he stepped into the Chongguang Hall, there was an invisible rope tightly wrapped around his neck, making him breathless.

Lord Chu, Lord Chu, who sent you to restrain me?Is it the Son of Heaven?

Maybe because Xiao Cen was too embarrassed, Emperor Wu'an changed the topic again without any trace.This time, the unfortunate ones recruited were the Mobei cavalry who were still stationed outside the city, and they were all asking when they would leave.

When Xiao Cen heard this, he was shocked, and broke out in a cold sweat, which wet his white coat.

This cavalry with only more than [-] men is the last treasure left to him by his grandfather.They followed their grandfather to fight against Di, and made great military exploits. They are known as "Heavenly Soldiers". They put life and death aside but never asked for any rewards.

I didn't expect that in my own hands, I would suffer such suspicion for no reason.Xiao Cen couldn't help feeling a little sad, but he didn't show it on his face, he just lowered his head and said indifferently, "Tomorrow they will leave for Mobei."

Emperor Wu'an breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and then smiled, "Xiao Qing has made great achievements in defeating the enemy this time, and I want to reward you. However, silk, silk, jade, gold and silver are not worthy of my little general. Empress, in your opinion Come, what should I reward?"
