Until he was hugged by Duan Baiyue and lay in the quilt, Chu Yuan was still thinking, why should a rag belt be fitted with a complicated jade buckle and hemp rope next time.
Early the next morning, Si Xi reported outside, saying that Feng Chen had brought many local officials and they were all waiting in the front hall to beg to see the emperor.
"It's quite early." Duan Baiyue helped him up, "I'll accompany you there?"
"You caught the person, so naturally you have to go together." Chu Yuan opened his hand and asked him to change his underwear. Father-in-law Sixi also came in with hot water, and the rest of the servants lined up outside the door, holding robes and ornaments of shoes and boots in his hands.
"Is Zhuo Yunhe here?" Chu Yuan asked while sitting in front of the mirror.
"Go back to the emperor, here we come." Father Sixi combed his hair for him, "Commander Zhuo was the first to arrive, and he was waiting in the front hall just before dawn."
Chu Yuan asked, "Are you in a bad mood?"
Father Sixi cautiously replied: "It's not obvious, but Commander Zhuo did not say a few words, and he sat drinking tea all the time, which is not in line with the style of the past."
Chu Yuan smiled and looked at Duan Baiyue in the mirror: "If it weren't for the current tension, I really want to let Zhuo Yunhe down for two more days. That thief has been rampant in the city for dozens of days, and no one can do anything about him, but you He can be caught when he comes, and according to his bull temper, he must not be suffocated."
"If he annoys you in the future, I'll get him back somewhere else." Duan Baiyue supported his shoulders from behind, leaned over and looked at the person in the mirror, "Anyway, Guanhai City is not far from the southwestern government."
"When this battle is over, Zhuo Yunhe will not continue to guard Guanhai in the southern region." Chu Yuan said, "I will call him back to the royal city."
Duan Baiyue pouted, this one recalled the other, and left himself outside.
Chu Yuan looked amused and leaned back in his arms. Father Sixi took the outer robe and shoes and came in. Seeing that the two of them were getting close, he hurriedly stepped back and lowered his head to wait.
"Come in." Duan Baiyue stood up straight, "Don't make everyone wait too long."
Sixi helped Chu Yuan to change his clothes. It was a white robe embroidered with gold, which matched Duan Baiyue, who was wearing a white jade belt beside him.
Chu Yuan said: "What about the blue one? It's lighter than this one." The weather was hot, so I still went to the pier today to save myself from sweating again.
Duan Baiyue: "Cough!"
Eunuch Sixi obviously did not understand the deep meaning of the cough, and instead said, "Old slave, go get it now."
Duan Baiyue persuaded him: "I think this one is very good, don't you change it?"
Chu Yuan sat on the bench and said firmly: "This is hot."
Duan Baiyue had no choice but to watch Sixi go out.
Chu Yuan still leaned back on Duan Baiyue, looking at the mirror in a daze. After a while, Si Xi hurried back, but said that the clothes were lost.
Duan Baiyue: "..."
Chu Yuan frowned: "Lost?"
"Yeah." Eunuch Sixi said anxiously, "The emperor wore it when he was in the Southwest Mansion a few days ago. This old slave remembers it clearly. After washing it, he put it in the cabinet, but now he can't find it anywhere. ."
Chu Yuan looked at Duan Baiyue: "Are there still thieves in your southwest mansion?"
Duan Baiyue coughed twice and confessed: "I took it."
Sixi: "… "
Chu Yuan said in disgust, "You dare to steal my dragon robe."
Duan Baiyue was wronged: "Aunt Jin asked for it. She originally asked a tailor to measure your waist, but I forced her away. Later, I was really upset, so I took your clothes and went over, thinking about measuring When you're done, put it back in the box and forget it."
Sixi was extremely puzzled: "Grandma Jinzhen wants to make new clothes for the emperor?"
Chu Yuan remembered the red silk and satin of that house.
In the Southwest Mansion, Aunt Jin smiled so hard that she could not close her mouth, watching everyone work. The tailors are the best from the south of the Yangtze River, and the workmanship is very careful. Even the clothes hidden inside have to be rolled with three or four gold threads.
The servants in the house were all relieved, and now I have done the wedding dress. I probably won't buy red silk and satin again in the future. It's very good, it saves money. But soon everyone found that this idea was a bit too simple, because Aunt Jin began to worry about the wedding banquet again.
"Abalone, bird's nest, and sea cucumber? It's good." The restaurant owner couldn't help but scribbled on the paper, flattering by the way, "It's really worthy of being a Southwest mansion.
Aunt Jin instructed: "The sea cucumber should be picked with the largest hair, and the bird's nest should be stewed with red dates."
"That's natural, that's natural." After the boss registered, he asked again, "Is it going to be a wine next month?"
"Oh, not so fast." Aunt Jin shook her head.
"That's fine." The boss asked with a smile, "Is that next month?"
Aunt Jin made a rough calculation and said, "About two years later."
The restaurant owner stayed for a while.
Why did you come to book a seat two years later
"If you win the battle, you have to go back to the Southwest with me to do the wedding, do you know?" Duan Baiyue took his hand and went out.
Chu Yuan pouted, pretending not to hear.
I am the king.
The front hall of this inn was very small, and the seven or eight officials were already a little crowded. Seeing Chu Yuan entering the door, he quickly stood up and saluted.
"Forget it." Chu Yuan said, "Have you heard about what happened last night?"
"Yes." Zhuo Yunhe said, "I heard that the King of Southwest has captured the thief?"
Chu Yuan said: "Commander Zhuo and Lord Feng stay, and the rest of Aiqing go out for a cup of tea first."
Everyone was puzzled when they heard this, but they didn't dare to ask more. When there were only four people left in the room, Chu Yuan said cheerfully, "The person caught last night was a fake, Qian Feng pretended to be."
"Fake?" Feng Chen was still overjoyed at first, but when he heard that he was acting, his heart was inevitably empty. On the contrary, Zhuo Yunhe quickly accepted this fact, otherwise he would feel really aggrieved if he lost to Duan Baiyue.
"Can you take the liberty of asking, why did the emperor make such a deployment?" Feng Chen asked tentatively.
"What do you think of Commander Zhuo?" Chu Yuan looked at Zhuo Yunhe.
"Go back to the emperor, according to what the last general saw, this move can force the other party to show up." Zhuo Yunhe said.
"That's right." Chu Yuan nodded, "Wen Aiqing has been looking for news in the past two days, and they all said that the thief would not show up during the day except to demolish houses and bomb roads in the middle of the night. Just demolishing a few houses and a few bridges Several roads have no influence on the war at all. The only effect is to give me a show of power in front of all the people in this city. But now I have gotten a fake and went to prison. If he does not testify, everything before. Everything was done in vain.”
"But that thief is agile, and even if he reappears, I'm afraid he may not be able to catch it." Feng Chen's voice was small, and he knew that his words were a bit disappointing, but he still reminded him dutifully.
"The last few times I ran away, it was his life." Chu Yuan said, "This time I will set up a net of heaven and earth, and he can't escape."
"Your Majesty, Shengming." Feng Chen breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this reassurance, "It's because the lower officials are worrying too much."
"Your Majesty." Zhuo Yunhe clasped his fists, "At the end of the day, I would like to lead someone to arrest the thief in person."
"Why, Da Chu's naval commander doesn't want to be, but wants to be the head of the yamen?" Chu Yuan's mouth curved, "I'm afraid Lord Feng may not dare to accept you."
Feng Chen's face turned pale, he was really afraid of Zhuo Yunhe, his voice was loud and fierce, and he wanted to hide every time he saw him.
"Last General—"
"You want to take care of both?" Chu Yuan shook his head and said, "You and Xue Huaiyue were originally at the same level, but now he is handsome, but you are still a general. Do you know why?"
Zhuo Yunhe was silent, and he has been brooding about this matter. He was convinced that he lost to Shen Qianfan, but Xue Huaiyue was similar to him in everything, even from his background. How can an official be promoted to commander-in-chief of Chu, how can he teach people to be completely convinced.
"The first point is that General Xue has a better temper than you." Chu Yuan stepped down, reached out and patted his shoulder, "Of course, it's not necessarily bad to have a temper like you when marching to fight. It's just that if you want to lead the army, Learn to be thoughtful."
Zhuo Yunhe murmured, "He has a better temper than me, so there's no need for one or two points."
Although this sentence was a bit rebellious, Chu Yuan knew his temper, and he was not angry, but rather amused, and said, "Second, he is not greedy for doing things, and he will not be greedy when he is marching and fighting. I want to grab business with the arresting fast."
Zhuo Yunhe was silent.
"I will leave this to others to do." Chu Yuan said, "You should stop interfering."
Zhuo Yunhe wanted to say something, but Feng Chen pulled his sleeve, and after thanking him, he forced him out of the front hall.
"Guess when the thief will appear?" Duan Baiyue asked.
"Dare to risk Zhuo Yunhe's sword, bow and crossbow to go out to make trouble. He thinks he thinks highly of himself and thinks that he is invincible in the world." Chu Yuan said, "But now Qianfeng and we have not left, there are a group of masters in charge, even if I used a strategy to stimulate each other, and I am not sure if he will appear tonight, so let's keep an eye on it."
Duan Baiyue said: "Then I'll go to squat with Alliance Lord Shen tonight."
Chu Yuan said, "I'll go too."
"You?" Duan Baiyue frowned, "What are you doing, it's midnight and the sea breeze is blowing and it's cold outside, so take a good rest in the room."
Chu Yuan said: "I want to watch the fun."
Duan Baiyue: "..."
Chu Yuan frowned at him.
This look...
The King of Southwest said: "Okay."
On the other hand, Sixi was happy. As soon as he heard that the emperor was going to visit at night, he immediately started to have a headache. It was almost a war, how could he still run outside.
In the middle of the night, Duan Baiyue took Chu Yuan out of the inn and reconciled with Shen Qianfeng, but unexpectedly met Ye Jin who was also watching the fun.
…
"I want to come by myself." Chu Yuan said first.
Ye Jin felt stuffy and couldn't help waving his hand, not really wanting to talk.
"We hide on the other side." Duan Baiyue said.
Chu Yuan nodded, very cooperative.
So Ye Jin watched his brother being carried away, carried away, carried away.
Shen Qianfeng made a silent gesture at him, and squatted down with his head pressed.
For the first time in his life, Chu Yuan guarded the squatting point, and felt that it was quite rare. Duan Baiyue was worried about it for a long time, afraid of catching a cold from the wind, and afraid of a worm falling from the tree. About half an hour later, the street was still empty, and Chu Yuan couldn't help but start yawning.
Duan Baiyue asked, "Go back?"
Chu Yuan raised his chin towards the front: "Well, go back now, but you will miss the good show."
Duan Baiyue looked in his direction vigilantly, and saw a black shadow leaping towards the city. It really was as rumored by the outside world, and the jump was several feet high.
On the other side, Ye Jin was also stunned: "Where the fuck is this person, fleas are becoming sperm."
