After a while, Feng Bao had already served a plate of hot beef, a vegetarian cold dish, and opened a jar of treasured June Spring.
Huo Shengnan said: "Two people can't eat much."
Feng Baodao: "I'll make you two of my best dishes later, Fengsha Chicken and Longmen Fish."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Thank you, Brother Feng!"
Feng Bao chuckled and put the white towel on his shoulders: "You guys have a good chat while I go to work in the kitchen."
Huo Shengnan looked at Feng Bao's back with warmth in his eyes.
Hu Xiaotian said: "He used to be your subordinate, right?"
Huo Shengnan nodded and said: "I was once a brave and skilled general. He always charged forward in every battle and suffered numerous injuries. In the battle to recapture the seven northern cities, I lost an arm and was hit by more than ten arrows. I was lucky enough to pick it up."
A life was saved."
Hu Xiaotian said: "The four princes of Heihu came here to discuss peace. It seems that there will not be so many wars between Dayong and Heihu in the future."
Huo Shengnan fell silent after hearing this. Seeing that she was silent, Hu Xiaotian picked up the wine bowl in front of her and touched it with her. The two drank the bowl of wine together. Huo Shengnan said: "I have fought many battles with the Black Hu people. Their
I understand the temperament of the Black Barbarians. They have wolfish ambitions and have never stopped their ambition to invade the south in these years. The peace talks are just a delaying tactic for them. Once they have cultivated their health and rest, they will definitely strengthen their troops and move south again." ⊥, w●ww.
Hu Xiaotian put down the wine bowl, picked up the wine jar and filled the empty bowl again, and said softly: "General Huo doesn't want to negotiate peace?"
Huo Shengnan pursed his lips, and after a while he whispered: "My family members all died at the hands of the Black Husband."
Hu Xiaotian nodded and finally understood why Huo Shengnan was so hostile to the Black Hu people and gave a cold face to the fourth Black Hu prince Wanyan Chixiong at tonight's eldest princess's banquet. It turned out that Huo Shengnan not only had national hatred but also family hatred for the Black Hu people!
Hu Xiaotian said: "Everyone has his or her own misfortunes, but people have to look forward when living in this world."
Huo Shengnan laughed: "You don't need to enlighten me, so many years have passed. I have already looked away. Even if I am sad, it is of no use." She picked up the bowl of wine and said: "As a general of Dayong, I still have to do everything.
Subordinate to the interests of the country, although I am a military general, I do not desire war."
"It is always the common people who are unlucky in a fight!" Hu Xiaotian shook his head.
Huo Shengnan saw the worry in Hu Xiaotian's eyebrows. He was used to his cynical look and rarely saw him with such an expression. He said softly: "Are you worried?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said, "Do I look like I have something on my mind?"
"Like!" Huo Shengnan said with a smile: "Is it true that as Jianping said, you feel uneasy because you have offended the fourth prince Black Hu?"
Hu Xiaotian chuckled and said, "How do you write the word fear?" He picked up the wine bowl in front of him and said, "Wine strengthens the courage of heroes. Since you think I will be afraid, then we might as well have another drink to make my heart feel at ease."
Huo Shengnan drank another bowl of wine with him.
Hu Xiaotian said: "I'm not afraid, but I still feel a little uneasy in my heart."
Huo Shengnan said: "You don't have to worry. This is Dayong's territory. No matter how rampant the Black Hu people are, they will not dare to cause trouble in our land."
Hu Xiaotian said: "It's not actually the Black Hu people that I'm worried about."
Huo Shengnan raised his eyebrows slightly, seeming to understand what Hu Xiaotian meant. Could it be that he was worried about Dayong? Huo Shengnan didn't know what the current emperor meant. He was married to Dakang, but he later negotiated peace with Black Hu, his old enemy for many years.
One thing she knew clearly was that the emperor had always had the grand ambition to unify the Central Plains. Could it be that the real purpose of his peace talks with Heihu was to stabilize the rear defense. Only by temporarily stabilizing the future troubles of Heihu would he have enough energy to deal with the situation?
The decline of Dakang is a fact known to the world, and Huo Shengnan also firmly believes that sooner or later there will be a battle between Dakang and Dakang.
Hu Xiaotian said: "The world is in a hot and cold world, so it is with people. It is also the same with countries."
Huo Shengnan said: "How can you express such emotion?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Nothing? I don't know why, but I suddenly felt homesick tonight."
Huo Shengnan blinked his beautiful eyes: "After Princess Anping gets married, you will have completed your mission."
Hu Xiaotian nodded: "March 16th doesn't sound so far away."
"Here comes the food!" A rather sturdy woman brought up the hot Fengsha chicken.
Long Tingsheng looked at his third brother kneeling at his feet and felt a sense of joy from the bottom of his heart. Longting Town has become a shadow in his heart for a long time. Seeing that this third brother has gained the favor of his father and the support of his ministers, he is growing step by step.
Eating away the power and glory that should have belonged to him, Long Tingsheng even felt desperate before this. He thought that he was likely to lose in the battle for the crown prince's position. Fortunately, before he fell into despair,
There was such a turning point.
The face of the third prince Long Tingzhen could no longer find the high-spirited look of the past. He knelt on the ground, his whole body shaking with fear, and his disheveled hair covering most of his face.
Long Tingsheng sighed and said: "Third brother, I really can't believe that you actually intend to rebel."
Long Tingzhen shook his head vigorously and said: "Don't kill me... don't kill me..."
Long Tingsheng took a step forward: "Raise your head and let me take a good look at you."
Long Tingzhen trembled and raised his head. Long Tingsheng saw his face clearly, and his eyes suddenly widened: "You are not him! You are not him!" He suddenly raised his foot and kicked the person in front of him down hard.
On the ground, the man's messy hair spread out, revealing his original face. Although he looked somewhat similar to Longting Town, he was definitely not Longting Town.
Long Tingsheng drew out his sword, put it against his throat, and roared: "Say! Where did he go? Where did he go?"
"His Royal Highness the Third Prince...he...he ran away after hearing the news..."
Long Ting was so furious that he suddenly raised his sword and stabbed it into the opponent's throat.
Ji Feihua slowly dropped a white stone on the chessboard, looked at Zhou Ruiyuan opposite with a smile and said: "Prime Minister, please!"
Zhou Ruiyuan stared at the chess game, shook his head and said: "I lost because my skills were inferior to others! I admire you, I admire you!"
Ji Feihua smiled calmly and said: "The Prime Minister was absent-minded and did not regard Feihua as his opponent at all."
Zhou Ruiyuan asked: "Is Your Majesty still alive?"
Ji Feihua nodded, and then said: "Actually, his life and death no longer matter."
Zhou Ruiyuan said: "What good will it do to you if Dakang dies?"
Ji Feihua's eyes returned to the chessboard, and she stretched out her hand to turn the chessboard in another direction: "Looking from another angle, there may be a way to survive."
Zhou Ruiyuan said: "What exactly do you want?"
Ji Feihua said: "Actually, everyone only needs to do their own thing well, but most people are not peaceful enough. If the emperor can keep his peace and be a good emperor, then he will always be the emperor of great prosperity.
In my heart, the king is the king, and the minister is the minister. Everyone has his or her own duty, so I never ask about the Prime Minister's affairs."
Zhou Ruiyuan said: "Is it too late for me to leave now?"
Ji Feihua shook his head, still staring at the chessboard. He picked up a black stone and dropped it on the chessboard. He smiled and said: "I said there will be a turn for the better. I remember that when the emperor first ascended the throne, he once asked me about the prime minister.
I say that Prime Minister Zhou is actually a great talent. There are many talented people in the world, but there are very few who can truly be called great talents. What is a great talent? He can govern the world and stabilize the country! But the emperor does not understand the true value of the prime minister.
, I don’t understand how to treat great talents, because if you can’t use them for me, you will be killed by me!” He raised his eyes: “The Prime Minister is worried about the country and the people, why can’t you do your duty with peace of mind and do your best for the great talents?
Can the people of Kang do more things?"
A wry smile appeared on the corner of Zhou Ruiyuan's lips: "Do you think there is still a possibility of ZTE for today's Dakang?"
Ji Feihua said: "The end of the Long family does not mean the end of Dakang. This land was not surnamed Long at the beginning, and there was not only Dakang in this land. I always believe that the so-called loyalty is to the country."
And the people, not a certain dynasty or a certain emperor!"
Zhou Ruiyuan was secretly alarmed. If Ji Feihua's ambition was clear, he wanted to replace the Long family. Could it be that this eunuch wanted to become the emperor himself?
Ji Feihua said: "I came to see the Prime Minister because I wanted to tell him that except for the Emperor going crazy and the third prince missing, nothing else has changed."
Zhou Ruiyuan said: "From ancient times to the present, there has never been a coup without bloodshed."
Ji Feihua said: "What is a coup? At least now Dakang is still Dakang of the Long family, and you and I are still Dakang's ministers. As long as the emperor abides by his duties, our ministers will be loyal, self-denying and dedicated to the public service. Can the prime minister bear to see this dying person?"
Will the patient die just like that?"
Zhou Ruiyuan sighed and said: "I am terminally ill and I don't have the power to reach heaven."
Ji Feihua said: "Dakang's secret treasury is definitely not groundless. The Supreme Emperor must know this secret."
Zhou Ruiyuan looked at Ji Feihua and said, "So what if we find the vault?"
Ji Feihua said: "If the secret treasury is found, the Za family can make the decision and hand over the control to the Prime Minister. Isn't it the Prime Minister's wish to save all the people from the fire and water?"
Zhou Ruiyuan's eyes lit up.
Ji Feihua knew that he had been persuaded by her, so she lowered her voice and said: "What the Prime Minister has to do is to revitalize the country and manage the internal affairs. As for other troubles and infamy, Feihua will take the initiative to bear them."
Queen Jian looked at her son's gloomy face and immediately guessed that things were not going well, so she stepped forward and asked, "How is it?"
Long Tingsheng sighed and said: "He has already escaped. The one in the house just looks similar to him, and is not him at all."
Queen Jian frowned and said, "How could Ji Feihua be so careless? He actually let the third child escape from the siege?"
Long Tingsheng said: "Mother, that eunuch has no good intentions at all."
Queen Jian was so frightened that she hurriedly covered his mouth: "Ting Sheng, you must not talk nonsense. If people listen to it, you and I will lose our lives..." She was extremely afraid of Ji Feihua, fearing that disaster would come from her words.
If Ji Feihua is offended, her previous efforts will be completely in vain.
