Chapter 2681 Li Zhi and Wang Shi who have entered the state ahead of time
Li Ke, His Highness the King of Wu, although he was dragged over by Cheng Sanlang, was actually just a dragster.
Cheng Chubi did not dare to drag His Highness the King of Wu, whose physical features were too obvious, to hide outside Luoyang City.
Even if his face is covered, Cheng Chubi can determine whether the masked man appearing in front of him is his good brother wearing a pair of pants just by looking at his waistline.
It's a pity that Fang Jun's honest little brother is now squatting in the south of the Yangtze River, standing loyally behind the crown prince and pretending to be a hero.
Otherwise, it would be much more fulfilling if the three brothers worked together to do great things.

The sky had just cleared up and Li Zhi, who had barely rested all night, suddenly opened his eyes once or twice and sat up.
Next to her, Princess Jin, who also had dark circles under her eyes but still looked pretty, also stood up when she heard the sound.
"Husband, is it too early? Do you want to rest for a while?"
Li Zhi shook his head towards Mr. Wang, stood up and stretched out.
"No need. Today is a big event. Even if I lie down, I still can't sleep."
Seeing that Li Zhi insisted on getting up, Mrs. Wang, who was also excited and couldn't sleep all night, also got up and called someone to wash and change her husband's clothes.
Looking at this husband who is not tall but has a soft personality and always feels that there is some distance between him and me, no matter what, he is the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
Looking at her husband who had put on a brand new court uniform, the smile on Mrs. Wang's face became more and more overflowing.
"After your husband is dressed like this, he looks more and more outstanding. After today's court meeting, my husband is no longer His Highness, but His Majesty."
"It's too early for me to say this, ma'am." Although Li Zhi was very excited, he was not completely carried away yet.
"Today's court meeting can only be said to determine the emperor and ministers. After that, he still needs to go through the enthronement ceremony and announce it to the world before he can become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty."
"And you are my queen."
Seeing her husband, who looked so handsome and was so stunned when he spoke, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but feel sweet in her heart, and she quickly knelt down in courtesy.
"I understand that your Majesty is kind, courteous, and caring for the people. In the future, he will be praised by all people..."
Li Zhi stepped forward slowly and helped Wang, who had always been ambitious but had an unbearable stubborn temper.
No matter what, now he has to rely on her and the famous families behind her who can control the court.
Li Zhi imagined the scene when his father and mother were together, and tried hard to make his expression look affectionate and authentic.
"If you have such a wife, what else can a husband ask for..."

Early in the morning, the building next to the round hill was already bustling with activity, and both the handymen sweeping the place and the group of Jinwu Guards officers had also begun to get up.
At this moment, the heat is rising in the kitchen, and the new chef is working hard.
The previous chef was injured due to an accidental conflict with someone a few days ago and had to go home to rest.
However, the other party provided generous compensation, so that although he was injured, he at least earned a fortune in medical expenses.
Fortunately, someone came to apply for the job, and the salary was not high, but the food he cooked tasted quite good, comparable to that of a restaurant chef.
Of course, it was impossible for the officials in charge of Yuanqiu not to accept such a high-quality and low-priced cook.
At this moment, the clerk in charge of Yuanqiu came here quickly after washing up.
"How's it going, little brother? What's for breakfast today? Hurry up, those Jinwu Guards officers can't wait any longer."
At this moment, the cook showed a simple and honest smile and continued to vigorously stir the pot full of spicy soup.
"It's done, today I'm making meat pancakes and spicy soup. The manager can rest assured that everyone can eat comfortably."
The clerk came to the door and could already smell the rich fragrance, and couldn't help but swallow Xingzi.
"Hot spicy soup? What a weird name, but it smells really good. Let me have a bowl first."
"Okay, come on, sir, please sit down first, and I will serve you a bowl. Then we will cook the cakes here, one bite of soup and one bite of cake. You will be as happy as a god."
"Haha, okay, I happen to be hungry too, so I just want to eat something first to fill my stomach."
Looking at the spicy spicy soup with thick texture and attractive aroma, this ninth-grade official was not polite.
He sat on the pony without any airs, took the bowl, picked up the pancakes, and started to smoke them.
This member of the Cheng family, who was born in a Chengjia restaurant and received formal training in Chengjia cuisine, smiled as he watched this young official eating and drinking there.
He quickly poured the cooked spicy soup into the large wooden barrel, closed the lid, and picked up the large bamboo basket filled with cooking cakes.

By the time he had just finished all this, the clerk, who had already finished half of his bowl of soup, couldn't help but yawned sleepily.
"Hey, that's not right. I had a good sleep last night. Why did I start to feel sleepy while eating?"
"It doesn't matter. If you feel sleepy, sir, just stay here for a while. I will go and bring food to everyone..."
The clerk, whose thinking was starting to seem a little slow, stared blankly at the cook who cooked delicious food and spoke nicely.
Carrying a load on his shoulders and a basket in his hand, he walked slowly and humming a pleasant tune. Soon, his consciousness disappeared.
He just collapsed there limply, with an empty bowl on the table in front of him, and in his hand only one-third of the pancake was left...
Then the helper who was chopping firewood outside very considerately laid the young official down, tied him up quickly, and thoughtfully stuffed a rag into his mouth.
He also placed him in a woodshed nearby to prevent anyone from seeing him and affecting his appetite.
About two-quarters of an hour later, Cheng Chubi had already arrived at the dome with a team and five carriages.
Cheng Chubi jumped off his horse and quickly arrived at the courtyard next to the round hill.
At this moment, the ten Jinwu guards, several servants, and the clerk were all tied up and placed neatly on the ground.
Cheng Chubi stepped forward and squatted down, rolled his eyelids skillfully, looked at the size of the hole, and felt the carotid artery.
He raised his thumbs up with satisfaction at the Cheng family member who was disguised as a pink new cook.
"Yes, the amount of this medicine is just right. It can make them sleep peacefully for at least an hour and a half."
"Come here, unload the explosives quickly, put them all on the carriage, cover them with straw to disguise them, and keep them far away."
Following Cheng Sanlang's instructions, everyone quickly took action.
And Cheng Chubi picked up the sledgehammer, walked to the round hill, smiled, raised the heavy sledgehammer high, and smashed it down hard...
