Li Huowang looked at the little boy in Gao Zhijian's arms who stared at him with big eyes and confused. He picked up his chopsticks, dipped them in vegetable water, and put them towards his mouth.
The old eunuch on the side was about to step forward to stop him when Gao Zhijian looked at him and forced him to step back.
The chubby prince licked the vegetable water with his tongue and found that it had a spicy taste. Suddenly his facial features wrinkled up like a bun and started crying loudly and healthily.
Seeing this scene, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere suddenly returned to the past.
"Is everything okay in the village?" Gao Zhijian handed the crying child in his arms to the eunuch beside him and asked Li Huowang.
"It's not bad. With the money you gave me, the village can't be any worse." Li Huowang picked up a piece of hump with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth, and said while eating.
"I heard that Sun Baolu came to our village from Qingqiu with his family?" Gao Zhijian picked up a piece of steamed bun, dipped a layer of oil in the braised pork bowl, stuffed it into his mouth and started chewing.
"That's not the case." Li Huowang shook his head, "Wasn't the grass in Qingqiu yellow before? He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to survive in Qingqiu, so he had this plan."
"But then the grass in Qingqiu turned green, so naturally he took his tribe to stay in Qingqiu and continued to herd sheep."
"I guess they won't come to Niuxin Village unless it's a last resort. Those Qingqiu people may not be used to farming."
"Oh, that's it." Gao Zhijian nodded. As soon as he raised the tiger-head wine bottle, the eunuch next to him quickly poured it for him. "Senior Brother Li, come here, let's have a drink."
Li Huowang shook his head, "I don't drink. I get drunk very easily when I drink. Besides, this stuff doesn't taste very good. What do you do with it?"
"Haha" Gao Zhijian raised his head, slowly poured the wine into his mouth, closed his eyes and placed the wine bottle on the table.
"Wine is not a good thing to drink. Sometimes I feel annoyed and my mind is confused. A glass of wine can help my heart and mind take a break and have a good sleep."
"Are you upset? Aren't the teachings gone? What else are you upset about?" Li Huowang brought the milky white yellow croaker soup over and drank along the edge.
He had been hurrying slowly along the way. He was really hungry now. He hurriedly ate more and then went back to sleep after eating.
"Hey, it's annoying. Of course a good emperor is annoyed, but it's not necessary for a faint emperor to be annoyed." Gao Zhijian raised the wine bottle again and poured the wine into his mouth again, with a trace of blush on his face.
"Senior Brother Li, now that everything is stable, what are you going to do next?"
"What else can I do? I'm not a Taoist priest." Li Huowang patted the red Taoist robe on his body. "A Taoist priest is of course a cultivator. Maybe one day the three flowers will gather together and he will become an immortal and truly become a god."
"Hahaha, Senior Brother Li, if you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten that you are still a Taoist priest." Gao Zhijian laughed.
"What? I am a Taoist priest, am I fake?" Li Huowang also laughed.
"Really, it must be true." Gao Zhijian turned around and looked at the old eunuch on the side. "Big companion, tell me to go down and send a set of reading discs to my senior brother Li. My senior brother Li must be a true Taoist priest."
With a slight smile on his face, Li Huowang picked up the small bowl on the side and poured wine for himself, knocked it against Gao Zhijian's wine bottle, and drank it.
Seeing this scene, the smile on Gao Zhijian's face became even brighter. He grabbed the jug from the eunuch's hand and poured wine for Li Huowang himself.
Under the good wine and good food, the two of them got along more and more harmoniously, as if they had returned to the time when they came to Daliang after leaving Qingfeng Temple.
After drinking and eating, Li Huowang drank until he was in a daze. Although he had ways to keep himself from getting drunk, he didn't want to.
"Okay, let's drink this for today." Li Huowang stepped on his feet and said with Gao Zhijian's back.
"Do you have a place to sleep here? I'm tired." Li Huowang yawned.
"Yes, of course, I will take my Senior Brother Li to the palace."
Li Huowang turned around unsteadily, and with the support of two eunuchs, he walked towards the palace.
When he was about to reach the door, Li Huowang suddenly thought of something and turned around, "I almost forgot about the business while drinking."
"Um... Hey, what did I just say?" Li Huowang patted his forehead with his hand. "Oh, by the way, the people over there in Daqi have nothing to eat. Don't forget to allocate food for disaster relief.
, that’s it.”
After Li Huowang finished speaking, he continued to walk outside. Just when he reached the door of the hall, Gao Zhijian's voice came from behind him. "Senior Brother Li, I can promise you anything else, but I'm afraid I can't do this.
"
"Huh?" Li Huowang almost thought he heard wrongly. He turned around and looked at Gao Zhijian, who had three overlapping heads in front of him, "What did you just say?"
"I said this is not possible. I cannot relieve the disaster in Daqi."
"Oh, you mean you can't go to Daqi, right? It's okay, just prepare your things and I can send them there."
"Senior Brother Li, I am the emperor of Daliang. Why should I waste the food that the people have worked hard to grow to help the disaster in Daqi?"
Li Huowang pushed hard and staggered the eunuch who was supporting him, "What do you mean? Daqi has nothing now. They are so hungry that they can only eat grass!"
He thought this matter was trivial, but it turned out to be exactly the opposite.
"What does it have to do with me that they eat grass? They don't pay grain to Daliang, and they don't work for Daliang."
"Not many people in Daqi have died! We can't get much food!"
"Daqi is bigger than two girders, no matter how few people are alive," Gao Zhijian's attitude was very firm.
Seeing Gao Zhijian, a completely different person, Li Huowang sighed softly and softened his tone.
"I know all this. There is no need to take care of everything. We just need to ensure that they don't starve to death. We will also send them some seeds to pass this period of time."
"No! Every grain of grain has its value and should not be thrown away casually."
"Gao Zhijian!!" Li Huowang jumped directly onto the table, looked at him condescendingly, and subconsciously held the hilt of the sword with one hand.
In an instant, Li Huowang was surrounded. "Everyone, stand down!"
Looking at Gao Zhijian, who was staring at him with his head raised, Li Huowang slowly let go of the hand holding the sword hilt.
"It's okay, it's okay." Li Huowang smiled through gritted teeth and patted him gently.
You are right, you are right, you are a good emperor of Daliang, but not a good emperor of Daqi."
"If you don't help, why don't you help me and help the head office? I'm the Emperor of Da Qi now, and I'll be in charge of that place now!"
Li Huowang reached out and took off the crown from Gao Zhijian's head, clasped it on his own head, turned around and directly made a crack with his spine sword, and jumped in without saying a word.
