After Lin Xuanqing swallowed the pill, Jiang Ergou felt really relieved. Don't tell me, he was really afraid that this little girl would not take his medicine because of the original hatred. Although she was in the drama
The poison can be recovered bit by bit by slowly adjusting her breath, but it seems that Jiang Ergou is too stingy if her face is always pale.
Besides, if you don’t look at the monk’s face and the Buddha’s face, even if there is still a gap between Jiang Ergou and this little girl, her master is his master’s wife after all! After all, Lin Xuanqing can be regarded as Jiang Ergou
The dog's half junior sister is not.
"Let's get on the road."
After Jiang Ergou finished speaking, he walked to the front first, followed by Lin Xuanqing, whose face turned rosy, followed by He Huaichun, who was carrying a knife.
Lin Yuanhuan is still a little dazed because of the epiphany she had two days ago, so now she is falling behind. However, no one is worried about her. No matter what happens to her, as long as she
Just shout, and Jiang Ergou in front can run back in time to check the situation.
As he walked, Lin Yuanhuan frowned, feeling as if he had stepped on something.
When she raised her feet to take a look, sure enough, a very delicate-looking porcelain vase was lying under her feet. When she picked it up and took a look, there were five small words written on it: Wuwei Cartilage Powder!
It turned out that this was the ultimate poison that fell from Mo Zong Tuotuo's body and was used to plot against Lin Xuanqing after she was knocked to the ground by Jiang Ergou.
"Why…"
After picking up the porcelain bottle, Lin Yuanhuan subconsciously wanted to call Jiang Ergou, but as soon as she said it, she regretted it. This Wuwei Cartilage Powder is a top-notch poison that can corrode the internal strength of a first-level master. This alone knows it.
How difficult it is to configure. Putting this thing on yourself will undoubtedly greatly protect your safety.
However, I don't know whether it was because Lin Yuanhuan's voice was too soft, or because she was walking too slowly and had already put some distance between herself and Jiang Ergou. None of the three people walking in front heard her shout just now.
After waiting for a moment to make sure they didn't hear, Lin Yuanhuan let out a long breath, put the bottle of Wuwei Cartilage Powder into his arms, and then chased after Jiang Ergou and the others.
…
The capital city of Da Chu has undergone earth-shaking changes compared to when Jiang Ergou first came to Beijing.
There is the world-famous Jinghua Academy, there are many courtesans who have just become famous in the capital, and there is the Fusheng Restaurant that is now as famous as Manxiang Tower!
However, the Fusheng Restaurant, which was usually full of customers, could not see a single customer today. Even the busboys and the chefs were all driven away.
There is no other reason, because the owner of this restaurant will personally cook today and entertain two guests in this Fusheng Restaurant! Anyone familiar with the background of this restaurant knows that standing behind this restaurant is the third son of the current emperor.
!
Therefore, in this entire court, apart from his father who could be worthy of such hospitality, I really don't know who else would allow the third prince to cook in person.
To put it into detail, his eldest brother Chu Wushuang can also deserve such hospitality from him, but besides the prince Chu Wushuang, who else is worthy of him? Could it be that the emperor is really here in person?
It is not impossible to say that this is possible, but among the people Chu Fusheng wants to entertain today, Chu Zheng is not among them.
A big event happened in the capital yesterday. The second prince, who had served in the military for many years, was summoned back to the capital after the Liaodong border was settled. He arrived in the capital yesterday morning. Emperor Chu Zheng recognized his merits in the military and personally led hundreds of officials to greet him at the city gate.
His second son.
Yesterday, Chu Tianxiong returned to Beijing and returned home, so after the political affairs were over, he was naturally kept by Chu Zheng and was dragged to the palace to talk, because his mother missed him dearly as a son!
But apart from the mother's love for Chu Tianxiong, no one else knows what else the emperor and he whispered in the middle of the night.
However, a news quietly spread in Beijing the next day, saying that the second prince Chu Tianxiong's contribution was too great, and the emperor had already considered changing the prince.
Although everyone who heard the news thought it was nonsense, it was groundless after all. If there was really no trace of this matter, the news that the emperor wanted to change the prince would not have spread, so in Beijing
There are also quite a few people who say that the change of prince is true.
After staying in the palace for a night, Chu Tianxiong returned to his palace in Kyoto, and then received a banquet from his third brother.
As for the one who could receive Chu Fusheng's banquet at the same time as Chu Tianxiong, the only one in the entire capital was Prince Chu Wushuang.
Tonight, in this Fusheng Restaurant, no matter how many guards were secretly following the three princes, no matter how many spies secretly sent by Chu Zheng, in short, there were only three brothers on the surface.
On the highest floor of Fusheng Restaurant, Chu Zheng's three sons each occupied a seat and sat at the table. On the table were six or seven hot dishes cooked by Chu Fusheng himself. These were three
It was just a casual meal between brothers, so Chu Fusheng did it very casually and didn't take it too seriously.
"Come on, eldest brother, second brother! I want to toast you, especially second brother. You have worked hard at the border in the past few years. You are much thinner than when you went there. When you come back this time, you will come to your brother's house more. Let me
Brother, I’ll give you a good patch up.”
Chu Fusheng poured a glass of wine for his two brothers, and then was the first to pick up the glass.
Chu Wushuang and Chu Tianxiong looked at each other, then picked up the wine glasses on the table at the same time, and then bumped into Chu Fusheng's glasses.
But other than that, I don't know if the two of them did it intentionally. Although their cups collided with Chu Fusheng's cup, there was some distance between their own cups.
"Third brother, if this is the case, second brother will cause more trouble in the future."
"If the second brother is there, these are what the younger brother should do."
After speaking to Chu Tianxiong, Chu Fusheng turned to Chu Wushuang and said.
"Brother, you come here often."
Chu Wushuang didn't speak, just nodded calmly, and agreed. The experience in the court in the past few years has made him lose his childishness, and he has truly begun to look like a prince.
If Chu Zheng had some deliberate protection for him before, then in the past few years, he was completely thrown into this court to be polished.
"Brother, these past few years have been good. When my younger brother comes back this time, he always feels that nothing in Beijing has changed."
The lack of changes in Chu Tianxiong does not refer to the changes in the capital. Chu's economy has recovered very quickly in the past few years. How could there be no changes at all in the capital?
What Chu Tianxiong said has not changed means that the situation in the court has not changed. For example, his people in the court were not purged by Prince Chu Wushuang, and Chu Wushuang did not find a way to get involved in his martial arts academy.
Chu Wushuang, who had been familiar with this for a long time, naturally knew clearly what his second brother was talking about, but Chu Wushuang just smiled softly, with a grace and dignity in his smile.
"Second brother, when my eldest brother said that he would wait for you to come back, he will definitely wait for you to come back. You can rest assured that I will not do anything, whether overtly or secretly."
Chu Tianxiong also smiled and nodded.
"I still believe in this, brother."
Chu Wushuang's smile did not diminish, but the questioning tone in his tone became heavier.
"I, the older brother, have kept my promise, but you, the younger brother, seem to be a little impatient. What's the matter? You just came back and you can't wait to have a showdown with me?"
Unlike Chu Wushuang, who was smiling all over his face, Chu Tianxiong's expression became serious.
"If I were to say, those
Do you believe that the news was not spread by my people?"
Chu Wushuang was still smiling, which was in sharp contrast to Chu Tianxiong's serious expression. After looking at Chu Tianxiong's eyes seriously for a few times, Chu Wushuang spoke calmly.
"As long as you say it, I will believe it. There are many people in the world who are more anxious than the two of us. There is nothing wrong with someone deliberately spreading rumors."
Chu Tianxiong saw the trust in Chu Wushuang's eyes, which made Chu Tianxiong smile happily again. Although the two brothers had some fights, it was always a battle between gentlemen and they would not engage in those dark tricks secretly.
"How's the war going on at the border? Are there times when things get tight?"
After the two brothers finished talking, the meal became more relaxed. Chu Wushuang picked up a peanut and asked happily.
Chu Tianxiong also picked up the wine glass and took a sip before answering.
"There has been no fighting on the border in the past two years. The grassland king named Yelu Hongbin was busy establishing her Northern Zhou regime and naturally had no time to invade the border. In addition to some friction with the always warlike Wanyan family, there were also some conflicts on the border.
It’s rare to have a peaceful life for a few years.”
After hearing this, Chu Wushuang nodded seriously. For the people on the border, having a happy birthday should be considered a rare thing.
"How long do you think it will take for the grassland to establish their Northern Zhou regime and then pose a threat to our Chu? How many troops will we need to send to the border to guard against them?"
Chu Tianxiong answered.
"According to reports from our spies on the grassland, a large number of scholars from the previous dynasty have already moved into the royal city of Yelu Hongbin, the king of the grassland, and it is said that those scholars are not bad in ability. They were the worst among the previous dynasties.
It is a book of ministers. According to my inference, in about five years, the Northern Zhou regime in the grassland will be able to establish a good framework, and it will be perfected in ten years. As for how many troops need to be sent to the border in the future! In ten years, at least there will be more troops on the border.
There are 100,000 more black-armored knights than there are now!"
Chu Wushuang carefully tasted every word Chu Tianxiong said, and then nodded from time to time, seeming to agree with the views Chu Tianxiong said.
After asking about the situation at the border, Chu Wushuang asked about Chu Tianxiong's return and asked him whether he had seen that the people of Chu were still hungry and whether any officials in various counties and counties had been corrupted or bribed.
Based on the situation, has the commerce in Lingzhou, Yuzhou and other places become more developed than in previous years?
Chu Tianxiong answered all the questions raised by Chu Wushuang one by one. At this time, they could not see any signs of competition between them for that position. They were more like a pair of brothers now.
"Brother, why are the questions you asked about either military or government affairs? My second brother has just come back, why can't you care about him?"
Chu Fusheng, who was tired from listening to these two people talking, interrupted Chu Wushuang's question. The latter was not angry and laughed warmly.
"The third brother thought about me but didn't think about it. It's because I, the older brother, didn't think carefully."
Chu Tianxiong just smiled back at Chu Wushuang, neither blaming nor flattered.
"After I came back, I still got used to the food. The food over there on the grassland is still very different from here."
Chu Tianxiong nodded.
"That's true, but after all, the capital is my home, so why can't I get used to the food when I go home?"
Chu Wushuang nodded the same as Chu Tianxiong.
"Third brother is very knowledgeable about these things. Just like he said, go back to his house and ask him to make up for it for you."
After going around in a big circle, the conversation between the three finally returned to the word home, and the three brothers finally began to recall some things from their childhood.
Chu Fusheng, the host of this family dinner, rarely spoke during the dinner, but when he watched the conversation between his two brothers, he slowly showed a happy smile.
