Xia Yu was lying on the bed. After struggling all day, she felt like her bones were about to fall apart. She felt so ecstatic that she felt like dying.
He didn't even know how he got through today.
He took a medicinal bath at noon and relaxed his muscles and bones. Otherwise, he would probably be reborn in bliss.
"Military advisor, it's time to eat." Zhang Yu came in with dinner.
"I have no appetite. I don't want to move." Xia Yu felt weak, as if she had terminal cancer.
"You'd better eat something, otherwise you won't have enough strength tomorrow." Zhang Yu advised: "Knowing that you have worked hard to practice martial arts, His Highness King Qin specially ordered the camp to stock up a chicken for you every day."
Xia Yu was stunned: "Where did the chicken come from?"
Because of the war, all the people nearby have fled. Are they still raising live chickens in the logistics department?
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin specially sent people to hunt pheasants in the nearby mountains. I will keep them for you alone. Your Highness is very kind to you."
Zhang Yu looked proud and envious.
Xia Yu smiled bitterly: This is good, but it is terrible! You treat you like a national scholar, how are you going to repay me?
Well, think about it like a cow or a horse!
However, pheasants are a good thing. In modern times, they are protected animals and cannot be eaten even if they want to.
Thinking of this, Xia Yu's tears of dissatisfaction flowed from the corner of her mouth, she struggled to sit up, and said with a serious face: "Bring it over, we can't waste His Highness King Qin's thoughts."
"Hey." Zhang Yu was very happy and quickly brought over the table and dinner.
Sure enough, it was a whole fat chicken, put in a clay pot and mashed, with a fragrant aroma, as well as a large bowl of corn rice, two pieces of wheat cakes, two portions of soy beans and pickles.
In the military, this is simply the treatment of an emperor.
Without saying a word, Xia Yu resisted the intense soreness in her arms and pulled off the fat and tender chicken thighs. A rich aroma suddenly filled the entire tent.
Zhang Yu suddenly swallowed his saliva. Comparing people to each other was so irritating.
Xia Yugang couldn't wait to bring the chicken thigh to his mouth. His arm suddenly felt sore and numb, and the chicken thigh fell on the table with a clatter.
Zhang Yu: "..."
Xia Yu: "..." A moment of sadness came over her: Damn, I'm going to be turned into a cripple, I can't even eat.
"Puch!" A chuckle came from the tent door.
Xia Yu turned around and saw two people coming in. The leader was Fang Xuanling, but the other person she didn't recognize.
"Is it funny?" Xia Yu looked annoyed: If it weren't for your Fang Xuanling doing sideshows like selling Dali Pills, would I be like this?
Fang Xuanling quickly suppressed laughter: "Military advisor, I heard that Guigu is an expert in everything. Doesn't he have martial arts?"
Sometimes, watching a genius suffocate makes me feel really good.
"Of course." Xia Yu refused to show her timidity and insisted on being stubborn.
"Then why did you-"
"Is it because I'm lazy?" Someone was furious and glared angrily: This Fang Xuanling is really bad, he grabbed a person's lung tube and stabbed it hard!
Seeing that someone was getting angry, Fang Xuanling quickly changed the topic wisely.
"By the way, military advisor, the thing you asked the craftsman to make is ready. Master Yuwen asked me to show it to you. Is it the right way?"
With that said, Fang Xuanling took something from the person behind him and handed it over.
Are you ready?
Xia Yu quickly took it and looked at it up and down.
It looks exactly the same as the drawing.
However, it may be that the time is relatively hasty, the workmanship is slightly rough, and the surface is only painted with a layer of varnish, which is not exquisite.
However, it is enough for military use and it is not a tribute.
"No problem, it works." Xia Yu was very satisfied.
"That's good." Fang Xuanling was very happy: "May I ask the military advisor, what is the name of this weird-looking thing? What is its magical use compared to calculating chips?"
"This thing is called an abacus, and its calculation speed is ten times that of abacus."
Xia Yu knew Fang Xuanling's purpose of coming.
"There are four major formulas for the use of this thing: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Only with these formulas can the abacus work."
"But look at me like this. I even struggle to eat. How can I have the energy to organize the formulas?"
"We have to practice martial arts again tomorrow, how about we wait and see?"
Fang Xuanling became anxious as soon as he heard this. He was afraid of waiting for good things. Maybe he would be spoiled if he waited. Otherwise, why would he come here so late at night?
At that moment, the future famous prime minister said in a very stupid manner: "It doesn't matter. A certain colleague knew that the military advisor was working hard, so he specially sent a handsome man to help the military advisor. The military advisor doesn't have to do anything. Whatever needs to be sorted out, just give him instructions."
Xia Yu: "..." Damn it, Lao Fang, you guys are too cruel, aren't you? Zhou Papi doesn't employ people like you, either?
Seeing Xia Yu's dull expression, Fang Xuanling also felt embarrassed.
However, Guigu Secret Technique, what a noble thing. In comparison, face is nothing, how much is it worth per pound?
He suffered greatly from the accounts.
"Commander, you will be a good person and do your best to the end. My colleagues and I are deeply gracious."
"Um, Yan tribe, come and see the military advisor."
Without waiting for Xia Yu to complain, Fang Xuanling came to force her to do it. Obviously, this guy knows the truth of being thick-skinned and eating enough.
"The lower official is Xu Jingzong of Hangzhou. He is currently a bachelor of the Palace of the Prince of Qin. He is a doctor in the household department of Daxingtai on the east road. He has met the military advisor."
The person behind Fang Xuanling quickly stepped forward and bowed very respectfully. He was a handsome, elegant and bearded young man in his twenties.
Xu Jingzong!
Hearing this thundering name, Xia Yu's hands shook, and her abacus fell on the table.
Everyone: "..." Not knowing why, they all sympathized: Poor military advisor, he was defeated by the King of Huaiyang County.
Xia Yu looked at Xu Jingzong carefully.
Who would have thought that in history, the man who was known as the most treacherous official in the Tang Dynasty would actually be a dignified person, and even have an upright look on his face!?
It seems that being a traitor is not that easy.
At the very least, your appearance must be deceptive. It's probably difficult to deceive people if you look like something so bad that it oozes pus.
Seeing Xia Yu looking at him with a strange look on his face, Xu Jingzong's heart skipped a beat.
Is the military advisor dissatisfied with himself?
No way.
He had just been transferred from Lianzhou, and it was his first time meeting the military advisor. There was no reason to dislike him, right?
"Military advisor?" Xu Jingzong was worried and called out again cautiously.
"Oh, oh." Xia Yu came back to her senses and said calmly: "I was thinking about something and got distracted. Well, Mr. Xu, please stay."
Although I was wary, I didn't take it seriously.
I'm just helping you sort out some formulas. I'll just try to deal with such unscrupulous guys as little as possible in the future.
It's true to be close to gentlemen and stay away from villains. Xia Yu gave herself a hundred likes.
Fang Xuanling breathed a sigh of relief: It’s done.
Xu Jingzong was even more delighted.
As soon as he arrived, he heard that a disciple of Guigu had come to the army. He was a strange man who knew everything. His Highness the King of Qin obeyed his advice.
Xu Jingzong was very utilitarian and kept working hard to climb up.
Therefore, as soon as he heard that Fang Xuanling and others were discussing finding an assistant for Xia Yu and learning the secret skills of Guigu as soon as possible, he immediately recommended himself.
He felt that this was an opportunity to catch up with Xia Yu, a famous person.
Now, he finally caught it, which was an excellent beginning.
At that moment, Fang Xuanling, whose wish was fulfilled, took her leave.
Xia Yu looked at Xu Jingzong: "Um, Mr. Xu, I want to eat, please wait a moment. Come, show Mr. Xu a seat."
"No." Zhang Yu wanted to get a cushion for Xu Jingzong.
"No need. No need." Xu Jingzong waved his hands quickly and said sincerely: "The military advisor Gao Yi has taught me the secret skills. To the lower officials, they are like a mentor. When the mentor eats, the lower officials should be like the ancient Cheng Menli.
Snow, how dare you sit down when you are waiting by the side?"
Xia Yu shivered all over and felt goosebumps all over her body.
Damn, that’s so disgusting!
Isn't this kind of flattery a great achievement? No wonder ancient emperors liked treacherous ministers because they spoke so nicely.
He was stunned for a moment and said helplessly: "You can stand if you want to."
This is done voluntarily, and forcing it is not happiness.
At that moment, Xia Yu was eating, and Xu Jingzong stood aside respectfully.
If he didn't have only one pair of chopsticks, he would probably be able to diligently help Xia Yu tear the pheasant into pieces so that his 'mentor' could swallow it more easily.
After Xia Yu finished eating and had just put down her chopsticks, Zhang Yu was about to clean up, but Xu Jingzong rushed forward: "Let me come here." He rushed to clear the table without caring about the greasy chicken bones and the like.
"..." Zhang Yu was shocked: Damn, you want to take the job of one of my servants?
"..." Xia Yu also had a black line on her forehead: Mr. Xu, what about your moral integrity? You are an official after all. Can you stop being such a loser?
"Master Xu, why is this happening? Zhang Yu, please help me quickly."
Zhang Yuru woke up from the dream and hurried forward: "Master Xu, it's better for me to do it as a villain. Finish your work early so that the military advisor can rest."
When Xu Jingzong heard this, he stopped and said politely: "Then I'll help you, little brother."
Damn it, what this treacherous minister did was like a spring breeze. Xia Yu was so convinced.
