Jiang Zhengyuan held the soldier talisman with a complicated expression, and he couldn't tell what it was like. He was moved by Qu Zhong's trust in him, and he also felt sour when he chose to transfer troops from Nanjing instead of Xijing. Zhai Zhengyang was an official in the same dynasty as himself. After many years, after two dynasties of emperors, it is now obvious that the emperor whom they grew up watching has grown jealous of Duke Wenling's mansion.

And he... Once the news of Nanjing's deployment of troops spreads, he may immediately become a thorn in Zhai Zhengyang's side, or... he may even suspect that it was his words that made Qu Zhong, who had been in a coma for more than ten years, vigilant.

... What a good way to leverage strength!

Jiang Zhengyuan, who was turning back and forth in his mind, looked blue and white, and stood stupidly in front of the dragon case, his hand holding the soldier talisman gradually closed due to excitement, and finally heaved a long and faint sigh.

Isn't this exactly the emperor's method he hoped for?Even if he was used...but he still felt very relieved.

Jiang Zhengyuan had already thought a lot in his mind, but he didn't know that the reason why Qu Zhong handed him the soldier talisman... was just because he believed it!

The matter here has been settled, and the simple-minded Qu Zhong didn't notice Jiang Zhengyuan's ever-changing face at all, and all his thoughts turned to Liu Xiong.

The reason why he asked Liu Xiong to come here today is to prepare for his upcoming tour of the Western Territory in a few days. Although the current Liu Xiong is doing business in the court all year round, he was considered one of the leaders of the Zhai Family Army in the Western Territory in the early years. After being injured in the early years, he could no longer go to the battlefield, and now Zhai Zhengyang would not be able to make a name for himself in the western region.

According to Qu Zhong's understanding, there are many loyal old men of his in the western region now, and taking him with him is equivalent to recovering half of the barracks first. As for the final effect, it depends on the situation at the time.

After struggling to swallow the dry pastry in his mouth, Liu Xiong gulped down a sip of tea, and then he felt a little more refreshed in his chest.

"Did you enter the palace this morning without breakfast?"

Raising his hand to signal Laifu to put on the tea again, Qu Zhong asked with a smile, Liu Xiong drank the thousands of taels of tea as if he was chewing peonies, and seeing his frown slightly, I'm afraid I still dislike the bitterness of this tea.

"Old minister... I left in a hurry earlier and didn't eat, but now I'm really hungry."

"Then use a few more cakes to pad your stomach, and after I finish talking about the business, I will have dinner with the two lovers."

"The minister thanked the emperor for the reward."

These few people and Qu Zhong have been able to meet each other in the imperial study room almost every day in the past few years, and it has long been a habit to eat together, now hearing what he said, Liu Xiong grinned and stuffed another piece of pastry into his mouth.

Two years ago, he was terrified when he met Shengyan. Two years later, he could sit down and reply calmly, without worrying about his head being lost at any time. This is him and Jiang Zhengyuan repeatedly spying on Qu Zhong's bottom line The measure gained... As long as the court and the country are not endangered, the monarch and his ministers can get along like friends.

"Then let's get down to business..."

Sure enough, Qu Zhong was not displeased with his actions at all, instead he grabbed a piece of pastry and took a bite before continuing to talk about the tour.

"Cough...cough..."

Qu Zhong behind the desk was opening and closing his mouth to say something, Liu Xiong couldn't hear clearly, the pastry in his throat blocked his throat, making him unable to say anything except a dry cough, and he even forgot the tea Drink, and swallowed hard while beating his chest.

The feeling of constriction in his chest finally eased, he couldn't wait to jump up from the chair, stepped forward and threw himself on the desk in front of Qu Zhong, clasping the edge of the desk tightly with both hands, staring and nervously asked: "The emperor said Can I go on a tour of the western border with you and fly there in a phoenix?"

Seeing Liu Xiong jump up from his seat, Qu Zhong subconsciously moved back a bit, and when he opened his mouth, he quickly covered his face with his cuffs.

Fortunately, he moved quickly... The black-gold robe was instantly covered with pastry crumbs, and some even bounced onto the memorial of the desk.

"Your Majesty..." Lai Fu exclaimed, and could only rush forward to wipe the stain with his sleeve, although Qu Zhong stopped his movement by raising his hand, but this did not prevent him from giving Liu a hard look. Xiong, very vividly demonstrated what it means to be extremely disgusted.

"Old minister, I'm sorry..."

Liu Xiong watched these pastry crumbs spewing out of his mouth abruptly. Ashamedness flooded his cheeks when he saw the stains on the table, and he rushed forward to wipe Qu Zhong's sleeves.

"Nothing, Liu Aiqing sit down first, and I will talk to you in detail."

Quickly waved his hands to stop the movement of the two of them, Qu Zhong stood up and shook his cuffs, his face did not show any disgust, but instead he handed him the tea at hand: "Laifu, tell the palace people to clean up the book case Can."

Before he finished speaking, he had already pulled people to the desk, found a chair and sat down slowly, and then motioned Liu Xiong and Jiang Zhengyuan to sit beside him.

"I plan to take a trip to the west in a while, and I hope Liu Aiqing will go with me, just the two of us..."

"..."

It was very quiet in the study, except for the gentle steps of the palace people pouring in, Liu Xiong was holding tea and did not answer right away, the excitement just now finally passed, he heard clearly what Qu Zhong said just now... two people.

how can that be!

The emperor's bodyguards, not to mention the guards, are the chariots and entourage, and they can travel more than ten feet. Just like this, the commander in charge of safety is also worried every day, fearing that something will go wrong, but now Qu Zhong said that it was just the two of them. Leaving the palace, this is tantamount to putting all the responsibilities on him, telling him not to hesitate.

"Your Majesty, how could you be so careless about going on tour..."

Liu Xiong was thinking, but Jiang Zhengyuan bounced up from the chair in shock, the trembling appearance was exactly the same as when Qu Zhong said he wanted to enclose the land last time.

"Listen to me first..."

The objection and hesitation of the two were within Qu Zhong's expectation. He supported Jiang Zhengyuan's arm and sat him down on the chair, then continued to tease with a smile: "I think the entire guard team may not be able to catch up with Fenghuang and Huazi."

Jiang Zhengyuan: "..."

Liu Xiong: "..."

Although I haven't seen what it looks like when the two fight, but the fact that their origins are a mystery makes people not to be underestimated. In addition, Qu Zhong's words are so convincing that they don't know where to object.

"I know the worries of the two lovers, but Fenghuang and Huazi are more powerful than you think..."

"The emperor has seen it?" Liu Xiong was surprised.

"Yeah!" Nodding his head slightly, Qu Zhong clenched his palms tightly and blew softly towards them before opening them suddenly: "A city...it's gone after a breath."

"So amazing!"

"Maybe it's more powerful, but not necessarily."

At the beginning, Qu Zhongrang was afraid of the rejection of the law of the small world, and Qu Zhongrang almost never used his own abilities. Now it has been proved that their appearance has not only not been rejected, but has gradually changed the laws of the world. God's ability.

"But...but..."

Looking up carefully at Qu Zhong, Liu Xiong rubbed his nose twice and said in embarrassment: "But Phoenix hasn't shown up for more than a year, and Huazi hasn't seen him for a long time, I'm worried..."

Now not only Zhufeng Kingdom is spreading the news, the news has already spread abroad, even Kaikai Kingdom and Molin Kingdom are spreading rumors that their patron saints despise Qu Zhong and go to Mingzhu.

There are even many people who think that this will happen sooner or later, and even gave Qu Zhong the title of "The Prodigal Emperor", teasing him for defeating the patron saint that the late emperor worked so hard to obtain in just a few years .

"It was I who let them go out to play, and they have nothing to do in the palace anyway."

Qu Zhong had known the rumors among the people for a long time, but instead of stopping them, he spread the rumors all over the country and even neighboring countries through the hands of his courtiers.

And Lang Ting, who started the dynasty, was exactly as he expected. The rumors had only spread for half a year, but he couldn't hold back anymore, and sent people pretending to be bandits to harass the western region, and even robbed several small villages.

This trip is not only to stand up, but also to take this opportunity to let Fenghuang and Hanako show their true strength and play a real deterrent effect.

"Go...go out to play..."

After thinking about a hundred kinds of answers, Liu Xiong never thought that it was Qu Zhong who asked them to go out to play, and listening to his tone... he felt that as long as he summoned them, the two would definitely appear in the palace immediately.

"Before we leave, I just let them come back." Qu Zhong waved his hand without further explanation. After turning his head to look at Jiang Zhengyuan, he said with a smile: "Now I'm giving my wealth and life to the two lovers." Sir."

As soon as the others left, Jiang Zhengyuan guarded the palace with a military talisman in his hand, all of Qu Zhong's wealth was handed over to him for management, and Liu Xiong followed him on the trip, which is equivalent to entrusting his life to his protection... although it is not necessary at all.

"The minister is terrified..."

"minister……"

The two of them were startled, and their faces couldn't help but change. Although Qu Zhong said it with a smile, but after thinking about it, it was not wrong at all. This kind of trust made their scalps numb at the same time, and their legs softened and they fell to their knees with a plop. In front of Qu Zhong.

"Get up, get up." Qu Zhong quickly stretched out his hand to support the two of them, smiled and comforted them: "I'm joking."

As a joke, Qu Zhong's decision was settled in this way. He arranged for the two of them in detail what to do next, and then he reached out and summoned the two to share lunch.

crunch--

The tasteless lunch was finally used up, and the door of the imperial study was gently closed. Qu Zhong watched the two people leaving, who were obviously choked up, and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing. When they were eating just now, the eyes of the two The words "loyalty and dedication to the country" were almost engraved on the forehead.

"I said it was a joke, but they still don't believe it..."

He is really joking, with the existence of Phoenix and Hanako, he doesn't need to worry about safety or the palace, others don't know, but he knows that it only takes half an hour for Phoenix to fly back from the western region, which is still useless In the case of supernatural power, if there is any change in the palace, he can come back in the blink of an eye, so there is nothing to worry about.

Besides... the real reliance in Qu Zhong's hands... is the secret soldier talisman that has never been seen in this world, not the ordinary soldier talisman.

This was given to him by the first emperor alone when he was dying. The soldier talisman can command the soldiers in the army who are directly under the emperor. This group of talents is the last support of the royal family. They are hidden in the army and belong to family positions. When there is no soldier talisman call They obeyed the command of the general, and once the emperor appeared with a military talisman, their orders would only be taken by the person who held the talisman.

It's just that Qu Zhong himself didn't expect that his joke not only made the two ministers feel like they were facing a formidable enemy, but also made Lai Fu, who had been waiting all this time, almost faint from crying.

Qu Zhong: "..."
