After becoming the king of the subjugated country

The moon gradually shifted from its original position, and the moonlight remained the same as before.

The courtyard was quiet, and the cry of cicadas gradually disappeared. Only one or two moths rushed towards the candle without hesitation, but were stopped by the lantern covering the candle.

When the spices burn to the late stage, the bamboo fragrance spreads out a little bit, and the air seems to carry the fragrance of the early spring rain, with a long and evocative aftertaste.

No matter how red her ears were, Bai Qi did not let go of Ji Chen's hand.

Seeing that Ji Chen didn't move, he sat closer again, traced Ji Chen's eyebrows and eyes with his fingers, carefully paying attention to the strength, so as not to wake him up, his eyes were gentle and tender.

He didn't say anything, but he seemed to have a thousand words.

Ji Chen was still in a trance, and Bai Qi's fingers seemed to carry a thrilling heat, passing the warmth from him little by little, making Ji Chen, who had always been hard-hearted, feel his heart burning.

He wanted to grab Bai Qi's hand and lock him into the room to prevent him from doing mischief, but he didn't want to reveal that he was not asleep, and he didn't want to complicate their relationship.

So he could only close his eyes, forcefully suppress his expression, and maintain the frequency of his breathing, not wanting to leave any openings for Bai Qi to discover.

He bitterly thought, when tomorrow comes, he will take revenge and take Bai Qi——

Before Ji Chen could continue his train of thought, he noticed that restless finger was moving down the bridge of his nose, and gradually slid to near his lips, and then he pressed it and stopped there.

Ji Chen's breath just happened to spray on his fingers.

Ji Chen's whole body froze, he really regretted it now, why did he sleep with his head tilted, if he just buried his whole head in his arms, then there would be no such thing.

Of course, what he regrets even more is why he pretended to be smart. He seemed to be waiting for Bai Qi to reveal his heart, but in the end he succeeded in trapping himself in a cocoon.

Bai Qi put his hand on his lips lightly, glanced around quietly, made sure that there was no one around except a pigeon, and then moved closer again.

He mustered up his courage again, and kissed Ji Chen's mouth. This time he stayed for a while longer, and then said softly, "I got the reward I wanted."

Ji Chen: "!"

Ji Chen's mind is full of question marks and exclamation marks.

Doesn't Bai Qi want power?His previous experience was not very good, and now he is very defensive, so he will work extra hard in this regard and pursue some sense of security.

Ji Chen has already made the best preparations, thinking about how to pave the way for Bai Qi next, to ensure that he is safe enough and fast enough to gain power.

But he's not ready yet, taking himself as a reward...

Moreover, Ji Chen thought in a daze, what should I do if he kissed me?

He couldn't help but think that wine is really not a good thing.

Bai Qi had already stood up, called the palace servants, helped Ji Chen back to the room, wiped his face, covered him with a quilt, and left Yiyi.

After the people left, Ji Chen quickly sat up, grabbed the pigeon that was poking its head, and asked hesitantly, "Could it be that he really likes me?"

The pigeon let him grab it, and tilted its head to look at him, "Coo?"

Ji Chen stroked the pigeon vigorously and poked its round belly, "It's all your fault, why didn't you come down and help me?"

The pigeon squawked and ran out of the window.

It passed through various palaces, and finally went to the official dormitory of the imperial hospital, and finally landed in a small room in the south, and got in through the window.

It walked up to You Han, flapped its wings, and tried to get her attention.

You Han held the lamp and was sorting out the patient's pulse case. When he saw the pigeon, he couldn't take his eyes off it. He said coldly, "What's the matter?"

The pigeon immediately called out in a hurry: "Coo coo coo, coo coo coo."

You Han put down the pulse case, and finally got a little serious, "Speak slowly."

Because You Han had helped the pigeons with their wounds before, the pigeons also liked to run towards her later on. The two of them came and went, but they gradually learned to communicate.

The pigeon kept yelling, "Coo coo coo, coo coo coo."

While it was screaming, it gestured with its wings in a gesture of hugging someone.

You Han frowned slightly, and he didn't understand, "Someone hugged His Majesty? He hugged him for a long time."

You Han was dumbfounded, but she thought about it carefully, how could the emperor be easily approached by so many people around him?

Even if someone threw themselves into their arms, it was also approved, and most of them were playing with each other.

Moreover, Ji Chen is not a king who is easy to deceive. On the contrary, he has means and ability. He is a wise lord who can expand the territory and calm the mountains and rivers.

Since Ji Chen knew about this matter, he might still enjoy it.

You Han made a judgment, "Don't worry about it, His Majesty must have agreed."

Otherwise, the emperor gave the order and threw the man out.

The pigeon nodded, and called out a few more grievances.

You Han gave the pigeon a suggestion with a serious face, "Your Majesty told you to stop it? But how can you stop a pigeon? Maybe this is what your Majesty said to coax you casually. Don't take it seriously. Next time something like this happens, just watch it. "

Speaking of this, You Han felt a little curious, "Who is this person?"

The pigeon spread its wings and signaled You Han to look at it.

You Han stared at it blankly, and finally noticed the color of its feathers, white?

She was startled and decided to rot today's matter in her stomach.

The next day, Ji Chen got up early for an unprecedented time, and impatiently began to deal with the memorial, and called the ministers one by one to ask questions.

Bai Qi also came over as if nothing had happened, and started to deal with the things shelved yesterday, occasionally asking Ji Chen a few words.

Ji Chen was a little restless, and when he was talking to Bai Qi, he avoided his gaze calmly, and finally when Ji Pei came to invite him, he left the house without saying a word.

Bai Qi felt a little lost, and lowered his eyes slightly to hide his emotions.

The subordinates who were waiting next to him didn't understand, so they could only urge Yi Er, "My lord?"

Bai Qi withdrew his gaze and said seriously, "Continue."

Ji Chen looked very amiable towards Ji Pei, it can be said that he couldn't wait to come to him.

Seeing this in his heart, Ji Pei immediately relaxed a lot, and couldn't help feeling, Brother Huang is so kind, the original tension gradually calmed down.

Ji Pei first apologized to Ji Chen, saying that he shouldn't be so impulsive, let alone leave the palace casually.

Now that Ji Chen has let go of this matter, he doesn't care about it any more. He just let it go and watched Ji Pei's latest new invention together with Ji Pei.

Ji Pei secretly heaved a sigh of relief, he didn't have Tang Qian's force, and he didn't know how to please, so he could only think about preparing some powerful weapons for Ji Chen.

Bi Xuan stood beside Ji Pei nervously, this time she finally stood up boldly.

In fact, she didn't really want to reveal her identity, but it wasn't until she asked about the situation outside that she realized that the Yue Kingdom had been weak all the year round, and that it was a soft persimmon among the surrounding countries. city.

Bi Xuan scolded God for playing with her in her heart, and then she heard Ji Pei say that there might be a war on the front line, and she was under a lot of pressure.

It's okay to win, but what will they do if they lose!Don't think that Ji Pei will be fine if his name is removed from the royal family. The enemy will definitely kill them all, and it is impossible to let them go.

It is indeed necessary to hide clumsiness, and the matter of time travel cannot be easily revealed, but if they become subjugated slaves, they will definitely be killed by the enemy country to sacrifice to heaven, and this hiding clumsiness has become her biggest joke.

Bi Xuan didn't dare to gamble on the cruelty of ancient wars, she could only secretly pray that the Yue Kingdom she was in would prosper and that she could live a stable life under the protection of the Yue Kingdom.

Thinking of this, Bi Xuan's gaze finally became firm, she exchanged a glance with Ji Pei, stepped forward, and said in a normal female voice, "Your Majesty, let me introduce to you, this is our newly developed bow | crossbow and trebuchet. "

Ji Pei stared at the large crossbow with a height of one meter and the trebuchet with a height of three meters when assembled in front of him, and remained silent.They don't have any decorations on them, and they look very simple, but they already carry all the painstaking efforts of Bi Xuan and Ji Pei.

There is nothing to say about the bow|crossbow. It is still the way of long-range and high-intensity shooting. It is an enlarged version of that toy. The special arrows have also been improved, and they are equipped with bloodletting grooves.

The trebuchet was a combination of modern experience and ancient technology. Ji Pei assembled it by himself. Under the eunuch's on-the-spot test, Ji Chen could easily see that the trebuchet could fly a hundred steps away.

In the past, the trebuchets of Yue State had a range of only seventy steps.

Ji Pei's tone was also proud, "We have experimented several times, and we can adjust the angle, and adjust the shooting position according to the direction and force of the cable."

Bi Xuan started from another angle and reported all the materials needed to manufacture a trebuchet, and finally came to a conclusion, "Bows, like trebuchets, can be mass-produced, and now the problem is the crossbow|arrows Arrows needed."

The number of arrows consumed in a war can be estimated at one hundred thousand.

Ji Chen said without hesitation: "Then send a group of people to iron mines, and then a group of stone smelting factories."

The members of the Geshihui haven't been dealt with yet, have they?Coincidentally, throw it to the mining area, and then ask that Xia Guo for a batch of weapons. Aren't they going to subsidize the Geshihui?Even if it is a discarded weapon, the iron can be melted again to make arrows.

The three of them communicated back and forth for a long time. Bi Xuan handed the blueprint to Ji Chen. Then Ji Chen unconsciously raised his head and deliberately pointed to the Arabic numerals and asked, "What are these?"

Sweat broke out on Bi Xuan's forehead.

The communication just now was so harmonious and smooth that she almost forgot that the person in front of her was the emperor.

Ji Pei had an idea, and said, "This is a foreign businessman we met. He once came to Huangjue Temple to offer incense. I met him and I helped him a little. The method was handed over to us, and we thought it was simpler, and we have been using it like this ever since.”

Bi Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes, that's it."

Ji Chen was thoughtful.

Bi Xuan strikes while the iron is hot, "Actually, this number is easy to count and can be used for accounting by the Ministry of Accounts."

Ji Chen nodded leisurely, and smiled at Bi Xuan, "Then can you tell me more about it?"

Bi Xuan was taken aback for a moment, she always felt that Ji Chen seemed to have discovered something wrong with her, and had vaguely guessed her identity.

He is so calm.

Bai Qi has been busy with official duties, and by the way, he is waiting for Ji Chen to come back at the Qianqing Palace.

But I waited and waited, but I still didn't see Ji Chen.

I didn't even come back for dinner.

The pigeons were not here, and the Qianqing Palace was exceptionally quiet. Bai Qi stood there silently, feeling a little dazed.

After finally waiting for the person to come back, Ji Chen said that Bai Qi was tired and asked him to go back and have a good rest.

Bai Qi's heart sank, he felt that Ji Chen was avoiding him.

He paused for a moment, just looking at Ji Chen.

Ji Chen hugged the pigeon unconsciously, but didn't look at him, "...Go back early, it's not good if it's too late."

Bai Qi looked at Ji Chen with burning eyes, unwilling to leave just like that, "Yesterday the moonlight was good, and today is the fifteenth day, why don't we continue to enjoy the moon?"

He didn't know what Ji Chen was thinking, but he thought, if Ji Chen took a step back, then he would take a step forward.

Even if the relationship cannot be brought closer, it must not be alienated.

Ji Chen couldn't help but pause as he touched the pigeon's hand.

Seeing Ji Chen like this, Bai Qi's smile gradually disappeared, with a bit of sadness on her face, she reluctantly said: "It's because I didn't follow the rules, I even forgot that courtiers are not allowed to drink at night."

There is such a rule in the court, the main purpose is to prevent ministers from drinking too much alcohol and speaking inappropriately when they stay in the court overnight, which will offend the king instead.

Of course, this rule depends on people's self-awareness. The king doesn't care, if he insists on pulling his courtiers to drink and talk, then this rule will be automatically invalidated, and there will be no one who is not good enough to criticize one or two.

The surrounding eunuchs and court ladies all pricked up their ears, waiting with bated breath for Ji Chen's answer, which also determined their attitude towards Bai Qi.

What else could Ji Chen say, he didn't feel soft-hearted, he could only say: "...I was just thinking about what to drink today."

Bai Qi's eyes lit up immediately, "I've asked someone to prepare some sake, and I've asked the imperial physician specifically, even if I get drunk, it won't hurt my health."

Ji Chen: "..."

It's pretty well prepared.

The two of them sat in the same position as yesterday, and exchanged cups.

Before leaving, Ji Chen specially brought the pigeon, rubbed its head, hoped that it would be reliable enough in critical moments, and then relaxed and chatted with Bai Qi.

I have to say that the two did have a lot to talk about.

All affairs of the court, anecdotes from Kyoto, folk news, romance, all are included.

When the interest comes up, Bai Qi will change into a green dress specially, bring a pipa, and play a Jiangnan ditty for Ji Chen.

Ji Chen looked at Bai Qi, under the candlelight, his beauty was not thrilling, but it was enough to thrill people's hearts. Perhaps the momentary surprise was just because of his appearance, but in the follow-up process, the sincerity revealed by Bai Qi really moved him. .

Seeing that Ji Chen's eyes were a little distracted, Bai Qi put down his pipa and asked softly, "Is Your Majesty a little drunk?"

Ji Chen was suddenly alert and raised his spirits, "No, I'm not drunk!"

Tonight, he will definitely drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, and will never fall down.
