Iron Armored Emperor

The cave is just an ordinary cave.

However, it is spacious and dry, which is much better than sleeping in the wild. Inside there is a simple wooden bed and a fire pit, and outside there is a half wooden door to prevent wild animals, insects and snakes at night.

"You are really a wild boss," Gu Lie laughed at Di Qiye, thinking of his overly clean nature after leaving the battlefield, he sighed, "It's hard for you, it's really not easy."

Di Qiye rolled his eyes at the ridicule from the protagonist.

The body of the old beggar was lying on a simple wooden bed in the corner. Only then did the little beggar know that this was the place where Di Qiye lived. He looked at Di Qiye uneasily and apologized, "I didn't know anyone lived here."

"No need to think about it," Di Qiye certainly didn't care about this, "I was taken into captivity and found a place to hide. I didn't open this cave, it existed before, and it's fate to help you and me. "

The little beggar felt relieved, and thanked him solemnly.

He has been very sad and happy recently, he has really experienced too much, his enemy died just now, he is still in a daze until now, but it is because of the sudden disaster in the past two or three days, he is used to it and forced himself to be calm.

Now when I walked to the wooden bed, I saw the old beggar's body, and all the past and recent events flashed in front of my eyes. The little beggar relaxed his composure, his knees softened and knelt down by the bed, unable to bear it any longer. , hid his face in his arms, buried his head and cried silently.

Neither Di Qiye nor Gu Lie had ever raised a child with their own hands.

Gu Lie had tried it in his previous life, but every time he hugged the little prince, the little prince would either cry or be sick when he returned home. Queen Liu hugged the little prince and begged him, saying that it might be because of a disagreement and not to get too close.Gu Lie blamed himself for his bad luck, and restrained his father's nature as he said. Later, even Jiang Yang's children were closer to him than the little prince.

Therefore, the two adults looked at each other, their eyes intersected briefly, and then immediately one looked at the sky and the other looked at the ground, pretending not to be at a loss.

Gu Lie observed the dry and flat cave wall, and suddenly wondered: "Who opened this cave?"

"I don't know," Di Qiye followed his gaze, "When I found it, it was covered by dead vines and trees, and it had been abandoned for a long time."

Gu Lie stretched out his hand: "Lend me the Azure Dragon Saber."

Di Qiye had a bad feeling and couldn't bear it: "You have the Zishuang Sword."

I haven't heard of any lord who can't borrow a knife that he rewarded himself.

But who made the Azure Dragon Saber a sharp weapon on the battlefield?

Gu Lie gritted his teeth and untied the Zishuang sword, holding the hilt of the sword with his right fist, and stabbing straight at the cave wall next to the mountain.

"What do you want to do..." Di Qiye looked at Gu Lie's appearance of digging into the wall, he was puzzled, and before he finished speaking, he saw a hole in the mountain wall.

Is this mountain too thin?

Gu Lie didn't care about the precious scabbard of the Zishuang Sword at all, and stabbed it a few more times neatly according to the crack, and the mountain wall fell down in large pieces like a wall, and the brick floor could be seen behind it.

Since it is a brick floor, it proves that it is a trace of artificial construction.

Di Qiye and Gu Lie looked at each other, kicked away the remaining mountain wall with their feet, and a magnificent scene appeared in front of their eyes.

Behind the mountain wall is a downward stone brick ramp. Where the ramp reaches, there is a magnificent library built by hollowing out the entire mountain.

The surrounding mountains are inlaid with countless pearls, which are as bright as the morning sun, the sea of ​​books is vast, and the bookshelves are piled high. There are countless bamboo slips hanging in several places in the southeast. Insect-proof and anti-corrosion book-preserving spices.

The rock above the mountain was chiseled out in five large characters [Tianxia Zangshuge] and signed [Gongzili].

There is a pair of couplets on the left and right, which were also written by drilling rocks: [The moon in the camping water in the world, a book of watching the heart in the clear stream. *】

Lifelong painstaking efforts.

Ingenious workmanship.

The little beggar couldn't read, so he was so shocked by the scene and the pavilion that he dared not speak, and followed behind the two adults who walked into the pavilion silently.

Stepping down the ramp and observing carefully, one realizes that this vast sea of ​​books covers everything in astronomy and geography. Since the pre-Qin period, it has been divided into several blocks according to dynasties. They are divided into eight trigrams around the center, and then the bookshelves are marked by categories. , the book-protecting spices preserve the bamboo slips of books very well, and there is almost no evacuation.

It is worthy of being the legendary Tianxia Zangshu Pavilion that collects classics.The name is well deserved.

Walking through the book racks and walking to the center, it looks like the dojo where the master gave lectures, with a pulpit on the top and learning cases on the bottom, a person sitting alone on the pulpit, holding a bamboo knife and pen, and bamboo slips spread out in front of him.

It was an air-dried skeleton with uncorrupted clothes.

Gu Lie walked behind the man and read the description on his bamboo slips.

"In order to avoid the high expectations of the evil servant, Yu sealed himself in the Library Pavilion... I found out that several volumes of the Spring and Autumn Annals were stolen and sold by him, and I was very heartbroken. He didn't know how to repent, and took the family property by force. Yu was old and couldn't compete."

It turned out that the old thief was named Gao Wang, and as Gu Lie deduced, he was indeed a servant who stole books, but he did not expect that he also forcibly took away his master's property.

"After thinking about it, Yu Wei wished to keep the world's classics, so he named himself in the Book Pavilion."

"Yu Ye is near the end of his life, and he is worried that the body's breath will be harmful to the collection of books. For several days, he has been eating spices to protect books, boasting of elegance. As the saying goes, 'There are thousands of catties in the book', and Yu starved to death with millions of catties. It can be said to be a 'book slave'."

……

Although it was recorded on the deathbed, there are also humorous parts, which shows that Young Master Li is far-sighted and open-minded in nature, and Gu Lie sighed that he was not as good.

Gu Lie raised his head, and saw the sea of ​​books all around him. He walked down the platform step by step, turned around and walked to the center line, solemnly raised his robe and knelt down, saluting.

In troubled times, the classics are scattered, and many sages and knowledge do not exist. By protecting Tianxia Zangshu Pavilion, Gongzili is protecting the inheritance of classics, and he has worked hard all his life to benefit future generations.

Such a sage deserves to be kneeled by an emperor.

The little beggar followed obediently.

Di Qiye came from an era when no one paid much attention to the past. He knew how hard it is to find the inheritance once it is broken. Therefore, he was deeply touched, knelt down on one knee, and bowed his head in salute.

The mountain pavilion was silent and the pearl was covered with snow. The three of them knelt down to worship the ancestors. No one watched the ceremony, but all of them saluted solemnly and sincerely.

Di Qiye and Gu Lie briefly recorded the outline of the mountain pavilion, and they concealed the entrance, and it was almost evening when they left the cave.

Gu Lie was the one who made up his mind, he said it would be better to spend the night here and go out of the valley tomorrow, so Di Qiye could only do so, and went with the little beggar to tidy up the bamboo hut where people lived.

After sorting out the place to rest tonight, the little beggar went to dig the old beggar's grave, but Di Qiye couldn't find Gu Lie anywhere, so he dragged Wushuang, who refused to leave the big brown horse, to find someone.

Wushuang sniffed east and west, and led the way to the stream.

Gu Lie sat on a high rock, facing the stream with his sword in his arms.

He looked at the rushing narrow stream with strange rocks in front of him, imagining that decades ago, this stream was still gentle and gentle. Righteousness, describe Huazhang.

He can't wait to relive these prosperous scenes again.With the Jinglun classics in Tianxia Zangshuge, I don't know how many leftover pearls can regain their brilliance and illuminate the way forward for Dachu.

Don't be impatient, Gu Lie warned himself.

He hasn't conquered the world yet, and Li Chu has not ascended the throne yet, so he can't be impatient.

Di Qiye tied the dissatisfied Wushuang under the pine tree, stepped lightly, walked to Gu Lie's side, and sat down on the high stone.

"Da Chu will have a day of prosperity and peace for the people," Gu Lie said suddenly.

Di Qiye didn't know where the protagonist started, he was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled: "I believe it."

Gu Lie turned his face and stared at him: "Do you know that it is difficult to conquer the world, but it is also difficult to defend the world?"

"My lord," Di Qiye felt that he was laying the groundwork for something, and said cautiously, "speak directly."

Gu Lie said straightforwardly: "After the world is settled, what do you want to do?"

"Disarmed and returned to the fields, traveling in the mountains and rivers?" Di Qiye replied with a teasing smile.

Gu Lie didn't want to talk to him anymore.

Seeing Gu Lie ignoring him, Di Qiye thought about it, and made a slight concession in words: "I promise not to cause trouble for you."

Gu Lie thought to himself, if you don't make trouble, you will make trouble.

"Oh, don't make trouble for me," Gu Lie slowed down his tone, trying to trick Di Qiye, "That means, whatever I say, you do it?"

Anyway, he promised that he didn't want money, so Di Qiye replied straightforwardly, "Why not."

Gu Lie knew at a glance that this person had no intentions, and he didn't believe it in his heart, so he continued: "Then I will make a note, General Di, don't break your promise and get fat."

Di Qiye was confused by Gu Lie's strange earnestness. He thought he had been very disciplined recently, and even accompanied Gu Lie to come to Mount Qingcheng on a sudden whim. He couldn't be more reliable. Come, so he tilted his head to look at Gu Lie, changed the subject and said, "My lord, it's time to eat. However, there is a small problem."

"...What?" When the two were alone, Gu Lie's heart began to hang when Di Qiye was polite.

Di Qiye knew he was embarrassed: "Well, that little beggar and I don't know how to cook."

It's still convenient in the age of drinking nutritional supplements, and I don't know how good Gu Lie's cooking skills are.Di Qiye appraised the lord's cooking skills in his heart, and found that Gu Lie's eyes were dark, and immediately pointed to Wushuang who was tied under the pine tree: "But I killed two pheasants. The little beggar cleaned the kitchen utensils and cooked them." meal."

Gu Lie understood.

Di Qiye didn't ask him to go back for dinner.

I asked him to go back and cook.

"Di Qiye," Gu Lie stretched out his hand and pressed his forehead, "You said that your ideal is to be loyal to Mingjun, to be a loyal minister and good general?"

Di Qiye nodded: "Yes."

"Which dynasty, which generation and which family's loyal ministers and good generals ask the lord to cook?"

"...The Gu family?"

"..."

"It's not me who decided not to bring guards," Di Qiye said in a low voice.

"To shut up."

The little beggar felt guilty that he couldn't cook, and tried his best to help Gu Lie. While taking care of the stove, he handed water and seasonings, one of them was worth five Di Qiye.

Di Qiye sat back on the bamboo chair, propped his head with his hands on the back of the chair, and watched the whole process of the master's cooking with interest.

Gu Lie boiled water, Gu Lie peeled off chicken feathers, Gu Lie cut chicken, Gu Lie fried ginger and garlic, Gu Lie chopped green onion... Gu Lie's veins twitched and he gave Di Qiye a look.

Di Qiye gave a false cough, and dawdled for a long time before he came over and asked, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

The meat in the pot is full of fragrance, and the soup is bubbling under the fire, making the mouth water with greed.

Gu Lie handed him a pair of chopsticks: "Try the taste."

Di Qiye didn't refuse, took a piece of chicken, blew it twice and bit it, the meat was tender and smooth in one bite, and sincerely boasted to the lord: "It's delicious."

Gu Lie asked the little beggar to turn off the fire, and used the residual heat of the cauldron to collect the soup again, waiting to be poured into the clay pot.

Di Qiye changed his pair of chopsticks, took a piece of chicken and poked it to Gu Lie's mouth: "You should try it too."

Suddenly poking a piece of chicken, Gu Lie almost thought it was a hidden weapon. Facing Di Qiye's sudden whim, Gu Lie just thought it was him playing around, and frowned helplessly: "You tried it, why should I try it?"

Di Qiye shook the piece of chicken, picked up his idiom and said: "Undress and push food, a good story between monarchs and ministers, try it."

Gu Lie felt a surge of anger in his heart. Does this person know the origin of this dictionary, and what will happen to that person?

Di Qiye refused to give up, as if if Gu Lie didn't eat, he could stuff Gu Lie's mouth.

Gu Lie didn't want to argue with him, so he opened his mouth and ate the meat.

"Is it tasty?"

"You want my princess to sell melons?"

"I just ask you if it tastes good, and what do you want to do so much."

"...not bad."

"It's so delicious and you actually say it's okay?"

"...you talk like you do."

"I'm anxious about what my lord needs."

"..."

The little beggar was thinking about the fire, why the King of Chu and General Di were completely different from the monarchs and ministers on the stage.

They have such a good relationship.

Gu Lie and Di Qiye, who didn't realize that they were "completely different", were still going back and forth, so they didn't know what the little beggar was thinking.

into the night.

At dusk, under the banner of serving the lord, Di Qiye found the bathhouse with the little beggar, and insisted on tidying it up despite his busy schedule. He didn't know how to ask Gu Lie if he needed to boil the water until he finished taking a comfortable bath at night.

Gu Lie was already used to Di Qiye's behavior of loving cleanliness if he could, so he didn't say anything about him.As for asking the lord only after enjoying it for himself... He at least remembers to ask now.

In his previous life, Di Qiye did something like go back to the mansion to take a shower before going to the palace to report on his duties, and was scolded by civil servants for half a year.

Thinking of those excerpts, Gu Lie felt another headache.

Di Qiye went out to set off fireworks to announce safety and came back, intending to talk to Gu Lie about how to deal with the little beggar.

Looking at Gu Lie's attitude towards the little beggar today, Di Qiye secretly suspected that the lord wanted to adopt him.

This is a very important matter. Gu Lie himself has not married a wife and had children, so he adopts one first, and that is the eldest son. The eldest son is not a legitimate son. In the future, the establishment of a heir will inevitably be undercurrents, threatening the foundation of the Great Chu.

It's not that Di Qiye cared too much about Gu Lie's harem, but Di Qiye thought of this and remembered that in the history books, Gu Lie didn't have a heir or a head. He found an heir from Gu Lie in Zhongzhou.

Di Qiye hadn't thought about it before, but when he got in touch today, he suddenly realized a problem—why did Gu Lie find an heir from Zhongzhou Gu?What about his own children?

"Lord."

When Di Qiye pushed the door, Gu Lie was getting dressed.

The author has something to say: *The couplet is my nonsense
