after being kidnapped by the general

Nice body.

Yuan Li was so envious that his thoughts wandered for a moment, and then he frowned beautifully.

He keenly grasped Chu Hechao's suspicion of him.

What exactly is Chu Hechao suspicious of him?

The moonlight was covered by dark clouds, and Wen Taoist Temple was silent.The night in March was no colder than that at the end of winter. The boy looked at Yuanli's red nose, and closed the door softly.

A "squeak" brought Yuanli back to his senses.

Yuan Li couldn't figure out what kind of intersection he had with Chu Hechao.He is only eighteen years old this year, and he is still two years away from being crowned champion.Even though he secretly did a lot of things in Ruyang County, it was definitely not enough to arouse Chu Hechao's suspicion.Besides, Chu Hechao had just returned to Luoyang, how could they have a chance to turn against each other?

Yu Ming and Yuanli have a very good reputation.Yu Li, Yuan Li is willing to congratulate his brother who is about to die of illness.Even Yu Qing, Yuanli is also Chu Hechao's sister-in-law in name.

Yuan Li couldn't figure it out, but Chu Hechao was not important at the moment, what was important was the soap formula in his mind.

Thinking of the soap formula, Yuanli became a little excited.

He said, "Lin Tian, ​​close the door and lock it."

Lin Tian quickly ran out, and soon, the gate of Wendaoyuan was tightly closed.

The bedroom was lit, and Yuanli dispersed the others, and he wrote the formula of the soap silently on a piece of paper with the light on.After writing silently, he put the paper on the fire and lit it.

The rewards given by the system have been handled in a very humane way, and have become something that can be made in the current era.There are soaps that are easy to make, and soaps that require a lot of effort, and each step is extremely detailed.

Even the most common soap in modern times has completely defeated the plant ash and acacia widely used by the people in this era.

The paper turned black and ash and fell on the table.The candle flames ignited for a while, then gradually faded away.

Yuan Li exhaled softly, blew out the candle, and lay down on the bed with a burning heart.

The soap has a delicate fragrance, is white and delicate, and it only needs to be carved into exquisite shapes, such as the four gentlemen flowers of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum.

It's just that for Yuanli now, neither soap nor white sugar is something that can be easily taken out.

Today's world is too chaotic, without security, it is tantamount to a child carrying money through the downtown.

The double-layer bed curtains woven with red gauze flutter gently, and the sachets hanging on the four corners of the bed frame are pleasantly fragrant.

Yuan Li didn't feel sleepy, he slapped the mosquito twice, staring at the top of the bed thinking about something.

The best choice now is to cooperate with Chu Palace.

It is an indisputable fact that he has "married" into Chu Palace.Even if Chu Mingfeng died later, the relationship between him and Chu Palace would not be broken easily.

In the eyes of outsiders, he is already a member of Chu Palace.

Yuan Li himself knew that the cooperation between him and Chu Palace was the best result.There is nothing wrong with making use of each other and fulfilling each other.

But Chu Hechao's attitude towards him made Yuanli hesitate.

However, Yuan Li quickly reacted, and patted his forehead with a helpless smile, "Yuan Li, you are really bewildered."

The person in charge of Chu Palace is not Chu Hechao, but the frail little elder, his nominal husband Chu Mingfeng.Even if Chu Hechao didn't like him, so what?

As long as Yuanli is his sister-in-law one day, he has to obediently call her sister-in-law one day.It is said that the eldest brother is like a father, and the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. If Chu Mingfeng really dies, he can be Chu Hechao's father at all costs!

Seniority is here, what are you worried about?

Yuanli's mind was instantly cleared, the corners of his lips raised, and he fell asleep contentedly with the breeze.

The next morning.

The biological clock wakes Yuanli up on time.After Yuanli washed up, he went out for his daily morning jog.

The mansion of the King of Chu is extremely large, with small bridges, flowing water, bamboo forest courtyards, green willows, stacked stones and sparse springs, all of which are natural and picturesque.Yuanli only ran around the vicinity of Wendaoyuan, and shed a thin sweat.

The air in ancient times was cool and refreshing, and the oxygen content was higher than in the future.Yuan Li stood by the pool, stretching his muscles and bones, his delicate face was wet with moisture, and tiny dewdrops condensed on his hair.

Not long after walking around the lake refreshed, Yuanli heard a few crisp sounds of weapons colliding.

He moved his ears and followed the sound to the training ground.

In the spacious and flat training ground, someone was practicing sword against a wooden stake.

He was so hot that his shirt was wrapped around his waist, his back muscles moved with his movements, and his narrow waist was tucked into his pants.

It was Chu Hechao.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Chu Hechao lazily raised his eyes and looked back while holding the handle of the knife, his eyes filled with the coolness of the early morning fog.

After seeing Yuan Li, his eyes didn't change, he turned around again calmly and pulled out the knife inserted in the stake, and continued the action just now.

Yuanli is not an important person to him.

Yuan Li didn't care either, and calculated with great interest the training volume of this man who could be called the God of War in the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

When he manages the logistics, he is also occasionally responsible for the training of the troops. He can clearly know how to train each type of people, what is the optimal training amount, and what is the limit.No matter what kind of talent, there are shortcomings and advantages in the unified training curriculum. Good tactics have poor endurance, and good endurance has poor balance.

Once a decathlon all-rounder appears, it will be the target of everyone's looting.

Chu Hechao was known as the God of War in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and he made great achievements in battle. Yuan Li expected that his physical fitness would be amazing. At the beginning, his expression was very calm, but as time passed, Yuan Li couldn't hide his astonishment.

——This is too exaggerated.

If it is a normal person, this time has reached the limit.But Chu Hechao didn't seem to have changed in any way, he just breathed a little more heavily, and the waist of his trousers was soaked in sweat, but every time he swung his arms, he was still as sharp and fast as before.

Unknowingly, half an hour passed by, and Yuan Li was tired of watching. He felt that watching it any longer would only hurt his self-confidence, so he turned around and prepared to leave.

"Den-"

A steel knife with a cold light was inserted straight into the mud in front of Yuan Li's feet, chopping up the sprouting grass, half of the blade was buried in a large part of the mud, and the blade hummed and trembled slightly.

Yuanli stopped in his tracks.

Chu Hechao's voice came from behind, "Sister-in-law stood there for so long, what are you looking at?"

Yuan Li didn't want to argue with him at this moment, and walked away quickly as if he didn't hear him.

A few moments later, a big palm suddenly landed on his shoulder, with such force that it seemed to crush Yuanli's bones.

"Sister-in-law," Chu Hechao looked at Yuan Li carefully, "Where are you going in such a hurry?"

Yuan Li subconsciously grabbed the arm and threw it over his shoulder. Chu Hechao's expression changed for a moment, and his reaction quickly hooked Yuan Li's neck. When he fell to the ground, Yuan Li was also brought down by the huge force , fell to the ground together.

His mouth directly hit Chu Hechao's arm, not only tasted the salty taste, but also directly broke Chu Hechao's skin, making his mouth full of blood.

"hiss."

Yuanli's teeth were hit by hard muscles, causing a toothache, and the bridge of his nose also hit it, causing his physiological tear glands to become sore for a moment.

One hand vigorously tugged on Yuan Li's back collar, pulling him up.Chu Hechao's face was livid, and he was about to say something when he saw Yuan Li covering his lips with a pale face, with blood stains on his lips and chin, and his eyes seemed to be covered with water vapor from the pain.

"..." Chu Hechao had a weird expression, "Sister-in-law broke her mouth and cried?"

The blood on Yuanli's mouth belonged to Chu Hechao, he wiped his mouth and said in a muffled voice, "No."

Chu Hechao didn't believe it, he stared at Yuanli for a while, then gave a light snort, not bothering Yuanli any more, and returned to the martial arts training ground with his saber in his hand.

Yuan Li looked at his back inexplicably.

He sniffed, and after the soreness of the bridge of the nose gradually passed, the moisture in his eyes disappeared immediately.Yuan Li rubbed the bridge of his nose again, bowed his head and took two mouthfuls of blood foam. He couldn't bear the bloody smell in his mouth, so he turned around and hurried back to Wendaoyuan to rinse his mouth.

evening.

Yang sent someone to ask Yuanli to have a meal, and when Yuanli arrived in the lobby, two tables had already been prepared.

The king of Chu and Chu Hechao sat at the table in the middle, and the other table was separated by a landscape screen. There were three wives headed by Mrs. Yang and three young ladies of the Chu family who were of different ages. .

Yuan Li only took one look, then retracted his eyes politely, and sat beside him under the greeting of the King of Chu.

Opposite Yuanli, Chu Hechao was shaking his teacup with his head down, his broad shoulders were straight and his back was straight, and his long legs were about to straddle the entire bottom of the table. Playful mockery.

The corner of Yuanli's mouth twitched.

He really didn't know what Chu Hechao had imagined. His arm was smashed by him, and he still had the face to mock him here?

The King of Chu was a martial artist, and his actions were straightforward and reckless. When he saw that everyone was there, he waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and serve the food, the old man is about to starve to death!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Li apologized, "My lord, it's all because the kid is late."

"Li'er, I don't blame you for this," Yang Si who was sitting on the other side said lightly, "It's all because of the housekeeper's inefficiency. I forgot that the eldest son of our mansion got married yesterday, and our mansion also has an extra one." Your justifiable master. I didn't send someone to notify you in time, so naturally you came late."

The face of Mrs. Zhao next to her was flushed, half complaining and half wronged: "Madam, I have been so busy these days that I have dizzy, our dinner time has been set, I really forgot that there is Mr. Yuan." I no longer know."

"You've worked a lot these past few days," Yang said, turning her head to look at her, and said in a gentle voice, "It just so happens that Feng'er also married his wife, so I'll leave the housekeeping to Li'er, you and I can enjoy leisure together .”

Madam Zhao was startled, "Madam!"

Yuanli is not really Chu Mingfeng's daughter-in-law, she is also a foreigner, she managed to take advantage of Yang's time to take care of Chu Mingfeng, how could she just give it away willingly?

She immediately raised her voice, "My lord, you—"

The King of Chu said impatiently: "Just do as Madam said."

Mrs. Zhao fell silent.

Yuan Li, who was innocently involved, smiled wryly, "Ma'am, I'm not suitable..."

"Li'er, don't be afraid," Yang's voice softened, but she was extremely firm, "Since you have entered our family, you will learn these things sooner or later. I will accompany you. These are very simple."

For Yuanli, managing a palace is really simple, and it can be regarded as another kind of professional counterpart.

The words have reached this level, Yuanli can only accept it for the time being.Yang Shi would not be ignorant of his deal with Chu Palace, he needs to go to school and serve as an official, since Yang Shi said so publicly, he is probably using his name to get back the stewardship.

Seeing the words, the King of Chu dropped a step, and said, "Use your chopsticks."

There were plenty of dishes on the table. At this time, there was no method of frying vegetables in iron pots. Most of the meals were steamed and boiled in earthen pots. People from aristocratic families would also eat roasted food.

But whether it is steamed, boiled or baked, the taste is similar.Because there are few seasonings, basically only sauce and salt, and the salt has a bitter taste, so the methods of processing the ingredients are also quite different.

When Yuan Li first came to this world, he adapted well to everything, except that he got used to eating for a long time.The taste of the food in Prince Chu's Mansion is not different from that of ordinary food, but because of the precious materials, it is more delicate and tastes more palatable, which is also considered delicious.

In particular, there is a dish of broiled meat, a dish of meat soup, and a dish of cured meat. These three dishes are very delicious, and Yuanli also ate more.

During the meal, Yuan Li also saw the way the King of Chu and Chu Hechao and his father and son ate in a turbulent way.

The king of Chu never paid attention to the style of the noble family when he ate. A bowl of millet and rice was mixed with three or two mouthfuls of meat, and the servants continued to serve the rice.But Chu Hechao looked slow, and his movements were no slower than his.

The father and son are very meaty, their chopsticks are flying so fast that only the bottom of the basin is left on the dishes in a blink of an eye.

Beside the two of them, Yuanli's appetite, which was larger than ordinary people because of his puberty, also seemed to be erratic.

At the end of the meal, the King of Chu slowed down and started talking, "Yuan family boy, have you ever met my eldest son?"

Chu Hechao ate quietly, as if he didn't hear him.

Yuan Li shook his head: "I haven't seen the eldest son yet."

The king of Chu stroked his beard, and there was love and regret on his old face, "He is not in good health, and he hasn't been out of the yard since he fell ill. If you are free, you might as well visit him more often. Feng'er likes to be with young people. People talk, and he has a lot of scriptures to read. You who read know how precious scriptures are, so I won’t say more. Yesterday, I have already discussed for you a place to enter the Imperial College. Before you enroll, read more Reading his scriptures will only be of great benefit to you."

After listening carefully, Yuan Li smiled slightly and said, "Forget it, kid."

Yang Shi on the other side of the screen asked with a smile, "Li'er, how is your meal?"

"Madam, I use it very well." Yuan Li gently put down the bowl and chopsticks, and a servant beside him immediately brought a warm towel to wipe his hands.

"That's good," Yang stretched her eyebrows, "Tomorrow is the day you go back home, and I have prepared things for you. Feng'er can't accompany you back to Ruyang, so let Ci Ye accompany you back there." .”

Yuan Li was stunned for a second before realizing that Ciye was talking about Chu Hechao.

His eyelids twitched, and he immediately refused decisively: "The general just came back yesterday, and he should have a good rest for the past two days. How can I let him work hard with me again? Luoyang is only a hundred miles away from Ruyang, and I am alone. Just go back."

Yang disapproved: "This is against the rules."

The King of Chu laughed and pointed at Chu Hechao and said, "Don't worry about him, this kid is very strong! He can recover from running thousands of miles in just one night, and if he is idle, he is idle. "Sister-in-law, just call him!"

Chu Hechao's expression was cold and unchanged.

The King of Chu and the Yang family had very different attitudes towards Chu Mingfeng and Chu Hechao.

But yes, the eldest son is weak and resourceful, which naturally makes the parents more worried.

Yuan Li silently expected Chu Hechao to refuse, "The general must be busy, so why not go to Ruyang with me?"

Chu Hechao raised his head, his eyes were deep, his lips curled up, and he suddenly smiled with a cold arc, "Coincidentally, I have long wanted to go to Ruyang County."

The author has something to say:

Chu Hechao: ridicule

Yuanli (doubt): Crazy?
