5days ago traverse Novels 3
Lu Lan and Guo Shao left the weaving shop and got on the carriage.

The wooden wheels were rustling, and the roads in the inner city of Tokyo were not very bumpy, but the bamboo curtains in the car windows were also shaken to the left and right.

Lu Lan's eyes drooped and silently, but at this time he became much more subtle and gentle.

She used to run around in Zhuozhou and Wushan to treat people. She was a very fierce little lady. She was not ambiguous when she provoked her and scolded her, but now she is a little hesitant.

Mrs. Chen’s eyes are so powerful that it fits well without consuming it.Mrs. Lu said, I'm just a little uncomfortable...

Guo Shao smiled and said: You have a specialty in your profession, and you don’t even think about what Mrs. Chen does.

At this time, he lifted the curtain and said to Lu Chengyong, who was riding a horse: Now in the West Market, go to a restaurant and tea shop to ask if there is any honeycomb selling.Lu Chengyong clasped his fists and said: Now.

After hearing this, Miss Lu immediately covered her face, but it was no longer swollen.

Her eyes flashed: No one usually eats that kind of thing, so how can it be sold?Guo Shao smiled and said: In such a huge Tokyo city, you may have anything you can imagine.

Lady Lu whispered: What is General Guo so easy to do to me? Are you making any wrong ideas?

Guo Shao didn't say anything, and Miss Lu said: I'm homeless now, I know you are not at ease.

At this time, Guo Shao said as if he was dying: Speaking of food, I remember one thing.I have eaten the delicacies of the restaurant and tea shops, and even the imperial meals in the palace, but I think the most delicious dish is the dish made by Yulian.

Yulian is the chef in General Guo’s mansion?Mrs. Lu asked casually.

Guo Shao shook his head and said: She is my concubine, not a cook.But my skills are indeed great. I don’t think it’s good alone. I have a little Taoist priest at home who is very picky and likes things made by Yulian.Once I asked her where to learn craftsmanship?She said she often had to go hungry before, so if she could have a good meal, she must do it very carefully.That's why the dishes she cooks are so delicious.

After hearing this, Miss Lu looked at Guo Shao. She probably observed his rough skin and thick flesh, and she really didn't look like a nobleman.

Guo Shao said: People who have never been hungry will not really understand the deliciousness of food.

Lady Lu asked: What do you think this means?

Guo Shao smiled and said: Those who have never tossed and turned around in countless nights do not understand the preciousness of a beautiful woman’s heart.

Miss Lu blushed: General Guo teased me like this again, I will be angry.

Guo Shao said easily: I'm just joking with you and I won't do anything to Miss Lu.After he said that, his eyes suddenly stopped at the place where Lu Lan was bulging.

Lu Lan looked down and was immediately embarrassed and annoyed.

Although this top is thin and the fabric on the chest is still quite thick, Lu Lan's body seems to be different. It has changed a little just now, and something embarrassing happened.

I... Lu Lan immediately blocked it with his hands. You are so frivolous to me, how can you be a human being?

Guo Shao whispered: No one knows.

……

The Zhou court had a lot of wealth, and the crisis had eased due to the power brought by the victory of the war.

Jinling, the Southern Tang Dynasty, was a different scene. The weather was bad. The heavy rain in summer hit, and the rain on the roof of the palace was rushing and flowing, and the entire imperial city seemed to be flooded.

The clouds in the sky were pressed very low, and it was as dark as in the broad daylight as in the evening, but lightning shone brightly between the sky and the earth from time to time.

Li Yu was holding an umbrella when he entered the palace, but his robe and boots were soaked.He stood in the hall for a while, and then saw an eunuch coming out and said: Please come from the prince.

Li Yu then followed the eunuch and saw the king sitting on a chair in the study room, with books and memorials piled up around him. In the dim light, he didn't move. It was hard to find that there was a person sitting on it without looking carefully.

My son bowed to my father.Li Yu knelt down and bowed.

come over.The king's voice was hoarse, and he waved his robe's sleeves gently, and all the nearby servants left the study.

Li Yu walked into the table silently and bowed in front of the table.

The king said: Han Xizai and others underestimated the Zhou Dynasty's martial man Guo Shao, who went to Shu in two months. His ambitions were not only Shu, right?

Li Yu hurriedly said: The king of Shu has always been rebellious and respectful and is known as the emperor; his father has always been obedient after the Battle of Huainan, and the Southern Tang army is also stronger than the Shu army. The Zhou court may not necessarily use troops against the Southern Tang...

When you were in Tokyo, you promised to pay tribute to 1.2 million ounces of money. Now we have to send someone to Tokyo as soon as possible.The king's way.

Li Yu bent down and bowed.He felt that the king summoned him on such a heavy rainy day, and he probably not only talked about tribute, so he stood up and listened.

Sure enough, the king of the country said after a long time: I have become increasingly exhausted recently. The palace in Hongdu is well repaired and I want to move here to live. Today I summon the prince to discuss with you and it is time to pass the throne to you.

No, my father is in his prime, how can he do this?My sons dare not take on this great task.Li Yu said in a complicated mood.

The king said: For the father, the prince is already competent for national affairs. If you give the throne to you, I will feel most at ease with your father.If you miss me, I feel tired when I am old, don’t postpone it.

Li Yu hurriedly knelt on the ground.

The king suddenly felt a little guilty in his tone: I have a strong storm in my life, but I have to give you a heavy burden at this moment. I am really sorry for Yu'er.

Li Yu buried his head, his face turned ashen.

His father's life is turbulent, and it is not easy for him to survive until now, and he has paid too much price; he is about to take over, but it is a mess in turmoil, so what else can he get in the end?

A flash suddenly appeared in the palace. Li Yu waited for a while, and he heard a thunder sound on the ground. Then he said in a deep voice: Please consider it carefully again.

The king pondered for a moment and said: Wuchang Jiedushi Lin Renzhao wrote a letter to block the south bank of the Yangtze River, and sent someone to discuss peace and alliance with Wuping Jiedushi (Chu) to control the upper reaches; your uncle Li Jingda wrote a letter to take advantage of the emptiness of Huainan to recover the lost land... In the past, the king discussed peace with Zhou Shizong and made a good fight, but time had changed, and it was inevitable that the Southern Tang Kingdom would fall into war again.

Li Yu said: There are only one or two people who asked for war. Many of the subjects in the country are unwilling to start a war easily. Although what the four kings and Lin Renzhao reported were reasonable, wars were inevitable. But if the royal family took the initiative to start a war, many people would complain that we would implicate the country.

You go down.The king said dejectedly.

...Li Yu bowed and bowed and returned to the East Palace in the rain.

Walking to the corridor, handing the umbrella to the follower behind him. A eunuch at the front door was about to take the tribute when he saw this. Li Yu waved his hand and whispered: No need to make noise.After saying that, he walked into the hall and walked into the room for a while, but did not enter the upper room, but entered the study room next to him.

He bolted the door, walked to the depths without saying a word, skillfully picked up a bookshelf beside the wall on his right and moved it, then reached out and slowly took off a brick, carefully holding it under his left hand.

He bent down and looked over. A piece of paper was in front of his eyes. There was a hole in the middle of the paper; he saw through the hole, which was a copper lamp holder.

A woman in a white long dress was sitting upright in front of an easel. She was Zhou Xian.

In the hazy light, Zhou Xian's face, neck and wrists looked whiter, just like pearls in the palace. She sat there alone, with no one around her, and it seemed very desolate in such weather.

She turned sideways in the inkstone and dipped her pen, focusing on carving a painting.

Li Yu looked closely and saw that she was painting a pair of plum blossoms.

For a long time, Zhou Xian repeated his slow movements like this, changing his pen, dipping ink, and drawing without making a sound or doing anything else.

Li Yu felt that nothing was strange, so he restored the things in the study and retreated.

When he walked into the room, Li Yu said: I'm back.He didn't go into the inner room, but sat down on the stool outside the screen and said: Ehuang, make a pot of tea for me.

After a while, Zhou Xian walked out slowly, took a look and said: Your Highness comes in and changes his robe and dress and drinks tea later.

Li Yu looked down and said, "Okay."He stood up, walked into the room and glanced casually, and found that the plum blossom picture on the easel was no longer there. He felt a little strange in his heart, so he asked in a casual tone: What is Ehuang doing?

I have nothing to do and I’m painting.Zhou Xian said while looking for clothes, "What's the matter with your father summoning you?"

Li Yu asked: What kind of painting should I draw?

On a whim... Zhou Xian's eyes suddenly changed a little, he looked down and said softly, "Plum Blossoms."

oh.Li Yu nodded and then said in a deep voice, "My father wants to abdicate early and move to Hongdu and pass the throne to me."

Zhou Xian's expression changed, and after a moment, he said calmly: Your Highness can share the burden for many years. It is also a kind of filial piety... Take off his robe and change into this one.The boots were also replaced.

After a while, Zhou Xian had put a stack of neatly shaped clothes on the couch, and a pair of wooden clogs were placed under it.

Li Yu untied his belt, took off his robe and threw it directly on the ground, and said in a deep voice: But it was a mess in my hands. I really don’t know how long it can be kept in my hands.That Guo Shao...

Zhou Xian's dignified and indifferent expression changed slightly again.

Li Yu said: If the Zhou army can fight south and north, a woman cannot lead troops, and even more so, a child of a few years old.Then Guo Shao was deeply trusted by the royal family and established prestige in the army... If the Zhou court had no such person as Guo Shao, what would happen that could threaten our country?

What does Your Highness mean?Zhou Xian said in surprise.

Li Yu was silent for a long time, deliberately refused to answer, waiting for Zhou Xian to consider it.

He was busy changing his clothes and shoes, then sat down on the collapse, and then said: I just think this person is very troublesome, and think about it for a moment.

Zhou Xian said: He is just young, and your highness is afraid he can only fight him.

Different strengths and different domestic situations, there is no way to fight. Only martial artists like the Four Wangs believe that the outcome of the battle formation is only related to the strength of the troops.Li Yu said frowningly. Seeing that Zhou Xian still had no idea, he gently reminded him, by the way, our country has to hurry up to pay 1.2 million chunks of wealth from the Zhou court.
