Even though the edict did not mention marrying off the two princesses, what Du He didn't expect was that bad news was still waiting for him.
Just after noon, Lu Hao, who was staying in Chang'an, hurried to Hu County.
Lu Hao didn't have time to see Lu Bu, so he rushed into the backyard of the county government office first. When he saw Du He, he said anxiously: "Teacher, it's not good. Her Royal Highnesses Princess Runan and Princess Changle were taken away from the palace early this morning.
Got it!"
Du He grabbed Lu Hao's collar and asked excitedly: "Who did this?"
Lu Hao said: "It was Li Junxian, General Zuoyu Linwei, who personally brought people to the Dream Group. He said he was following His Majesty's instructions to take the two princesses back to the palace."
Du He was stunned for a moment.
He never expected that Li Er would do this.
Swish.
Du He's face suddenly darkened.
He let go of Lu Hao and asked, "Did the Imperial Guards hit anyone?"
"That's not true!"
"Where are the guards of the Dream Group? Are they just being taken away? They are a bunch of trash!" Du He said angrily.
Lu Hao shook his head, "Teacher, it's not that we don't want to take action, it's actually Her Royal Highness Princess Runan who won't let us act rashly. She said that she will return to the palace for the time being. Teacher, you will definitely find a way!"
Du He's mouth showed a hint of bitterness: "This silly woman..."
Lu Hao asked: "Teacher, what should we do now?"
"You go back to the Dream Group and stabilize your position. Don't let the Dream Group cause trouble. At the same time, mobilize all the guards and strengthen their vigilance. Even a fly cannot come in or out at will!"
"yes!"
Lu Hao got the order, got on his horse, and rushed to Chang'an without even having time to take a sip of water.
Du He watched Lu Hao leave, then turned back and said to the people around him: "Here, please invite His Majesty the King of Shu!"
…
The main camp of the Guancheng Brigade.
Li Ke, the king of Shu, stared at the person who came to deliver the letter and asked, "Is the teacher in trouble?"
"The Duke seems to have something urgent. Please come to the county office as soon as possible. We may have something important to discuss!" the man said.
Snapped.
Li Ke slapped the table and said angrily: "Damn it, any bastard who dares to bully the teacher will be in trouble with me. Come and bring me my equipment."
Wow.
The people under my command were very busy.
In a short time, Li Ke put on his armor, carried two mace-toothed clubs on his back, rode a war horse covered in iron sheets, and headed straight for the county government with eighty murderous Guancheng officers.
Arriving at the county government office, Li Ke walked into the courtyard where Du He lived with a mace and a big stick, and asked loudly: "Teacher, who dares to bully you? I will knock his head off and use it as a chamber pot!"
"
But when he stepped into the courtyard, Li Ke was stunned.
I saw only a few smokes in the yard, full of life.
The teacher he admired the most was wearing a short jacket and was busy tinkling.
"Ah, the sun is out in the west, and the teacher is actually cooking?" Li Ke said in surprise.
For countless days and nights, Li Ke missed the hot pot made by Du He himself.
Although Dai Jinyun now promotes Du He's craftsmanship, what Li Ke likes most is the one made by Du He himself.
He called Dai Jinyun’s hotpot “soulless!”
Unfortunately, with the continuous development of Hu County, Du He has become busier and busier, and has not done anything for a long time.
Li Ke was so excited that he threw away the mace stick, rushed forward excitedly, and asked: "Teacher, what are you making delicious food today?"
Du He turned around and showed a smile like an old father, "Your Highness, today's dish is called potato stew with beef. You see, this is a calf that just committed suicide in the cattle pen. It has thin skin and tender meat. It is used to stew potatoes.
It's perfect, and these potatoes are freshly dug out of the ground. They are full of water, white and red, and are the best in the world. Only such potatoes can be paired with this little ox. The combination of the two is a match made in heaven.
…”
Li Ke couldn't help drooling after hearing this: "Teacher, potato stewed beef? Is it really so delicious?"
"You'll know later..."
Du He pointed to a jar on the stove.
The jar was not big, and was completely sealed with a wooden lid. There was only a gurgling sound coming from inside. Occasionally, streams of hot air pushed open the wooden plugs on the wooden lid, and then came out, making a hissing sound.
Beef stew requires not only good ingredients, but also good tools. In later generations, the most common ones were pressure cookers or special stew pots.
So Du He simply made a high-pressure sand tank.
Li Ke leaned over the sand pot, wiggled his nose greedily, and said with satisfaction: "Teacher, this potato and beef stew must be the most delicious thing in the world."
As he said that, he moved a chair and stood by the stove, staring at it without blinking.
After a while, Du He came over and said: "You can get off the pot!"
Li Ke took the initiative to ask for help and hurriedly moved the sand jar down. Unexpectedly, his hands were burned red, but he didn't care at all and smiled like a fool.
Du He opened the stopper, and hot air puffed out, and it stopped after a while.
Remove the lid.
A pot of potato stew and beef appeared in front of you.
Putting the sand pot on the table and placing two pairs of bowls and chopsticks, Du He and Li Ke started to eat happily.
Li Ke said happily: "Teacher, this potato stewed beef is really the most delicious thing in the world... By the way, teacher, what day is it today? Why did the teacher cook it himself? And he also invented a new dish?"
Du He said while eating: "Today, my teacher is in a bad mood!"
You are in a bad mood, but the food you cook is so delicious?
The teacher is truly a wonderful person in this world!
Li Ke gave Du He a thumbs up in his heart.
Then he asked: "Teacher, which bastard made you unhappy? When I finish this meal, I will chop him up!"
Du He said: "It's Your Majesty!"
"No matter who it is, I have to do it for...what? Is it the father? Teacher, are you kidding me? Didn't the father just make you the Duke of Hu?" Li Ke was a little dumbfounded.
Turns out to be the father?
Could it be that God has destined father and son to turn against each other?
It’s a bit exciting to think about it!
Du He said calmly: "Your Majesty promised that if I became the Duke of the State, you would marry your sister to me. Now that I have become the Duke of the State of Hu, Your Majesty has married Yuanshu and Lizhi."
I've returned to the palace and it looks like I'm going to break the contract. Do you think I can be happy?"
Li Ke's eyes widened and a piece of beef fell out of his mouth, "Teacher, no, I admire you so much. In my heart, you are a perfect person and a moral person.
A person who is like a fairy, you actually care about my sister and my younger sister?"
"Why, it can't be done?" Du He looked sideways at Li Ke.
Li Ke nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Okay, okay, but, teacher, marrying two princesses at the same time is unprecedented!"
Du He said angrily: "This beef and potato stew didn't exist before, right? It didn't exist before. I, Du He, got it when I came here. Marrying two princesses didn't exist before, but now I have it... Your Highness, is it delicious?"
"Yeah, delicious!"
"If it's delicious, just eat more. This is your last meal!" Du He said lightly.
