Space Escape: Raising Big Guys with Hundreds of Billions of Materials

Chapter 653 655. Minister of War
"My lord, I didn't expect such a slippery person to come." When Cen Gaosong left, Liu Xuan's secretary frowned and said.

Liu Xuan's face turned cold, "Hmph, it should be someone's advice. If this person is really smart, he should be promoted at this moment, instead of being transferred to us."

"Then are we really waiting for that Gu Wenheng here?"

Liu Xuan, "It's not yet the date for taking over, but this way, the road is not so easy, and the delay is normal, but I don't have so much time to wait for him when the time comes."

"But in case..."

"There is nothing in case, the road is so difficult to walk, and there will be delays every now and then, and it will be too late to accumulate." Liu Xuan said coldly.

The clerk quickly responded, "When my lord came to take over that day, he was also delayed on the road. I really hope that Mr. Gu will not meet those road bandits and road tyrants, and delay the time to take over."

Liu Xuan kept silent for a while with a cold face, and then drove out everyone around him.

Gu Wenheng saw that the road was getting harder and harder, and his heart was getting heavier and heavier.

Jin Qianqian was also secretly anxious. She thought she would have plenty of time, but she didn't expect to be delayed one after another on the road, and it became more and more urgent.

This day, when I entered the county town and checked into the inn, Jin Qianqian said as soon as she arrived in the room, "Xu Dawang had inquired with the bodyguards of the bodyguard bureau before, although there were accidents on this road in the past, but this time it was the most frequent.

It's not that I'm suspicious, I always feel that there's something wrong with it. "

Gu Wenheng has also been thinking about this problem today, roads collapse, rocks fall from mountains, big trees block the road... there are always such and such things.

Delaying some time every day has virtually delayed their originally expected arrival date.

"What will happen if you can't take over on time?" Jin Qianqian then asked.

Gu Wenheng, "It's not a big deal, as long as it doesn't delay for a long time, the people above will understand.

It's just that I can't make a good handover with my predecessor at that time. If there is any problem in the middle, no matter what the responsibility is, I have to bear it. "

He now has some guesses in his mind, and the connected things have already aroused his vigilance.

"That makes sense," Jin Qianqian gritted her teeth and said, "It seems that some people don't want you to arrive on time."

Gu Wenheng, "I want to separate from you tomorrow."

Jin Qianqian instantly understood his plan, "This matter has to be discussed in the long run..."

Until the next day, just after dawn, a man drove away in the backyard of the inn, humming a donkey cart full of rancid water.

Jin Qianqian waited until it was dawn, and hurriedly asked Xu Dawang to go to the city to invite a doctor. Gu Wenheng had a stomachache because he had been on the road for several days and was not acclimatized.

As soon as Zhou Shixiong arrived in Shangjing, he got the news that Gu Wenheng had gone to his post.

Sighing silently, it was only a few days away, he had already been on the road all night, and rarely stopped to rest along the way, but he still missed it.

"Master Hou, the palace has sent some rewards, how do you think they should be dealt with?" Butler He was holding the list and stood aside waiting.

"Look at Ruku, you have been working hard in Beijing all these years."

"These are what the old slave should do. It's just that it's time for our mansion to have a wife in charge. It's really inconvenient for the old slave to come out for many social occasions."

Seeing that the master is back now, Steward He wanted to bring this matter up quickly. The Hou Mansion also needs an heir, but the premise is that there must be a wife in charge.

Zhou Shixiong was away these years, what he was most afraid of was hearing these urging voices when he came back.

I just finished listening to it from the palace, and it's the same when I return to the mansion.

"I know all of these in my heart. Before the new lady enters the door, I have to work hard for you for a while."

Steward He grinned when he heard this, "It's so good, the old slave will be able to give an explanation when he sees the old master in the future."

As long as you are willing to get married, it is not far from having a little master.

Zhou Shixiong was summoned by Queen Zhou on the second day.

Looking at the more imposing Empress Zhou, Zhou Shixiong performed a whole set of ceremonies before sitting aside.

The two princes of Empress Zhou had seen their uncle, and then Madam Gong took them down.

For the remaining two brothers and sisters, Empress Zhou stared at Zhou Shixiong, except for the long scar on his face, there was no new scar.

"Brother, the way back is going smoothly."

"Everything is going well, and the past few years have been the happiest I've ever lived." Zhou Shixiong's face softened.

"I often heard a lot of things about Lucheng when I was in the middle of the capital. With these contributions, my eldest brother, no one in our Hou's mansion will touch it in the future."

Speaking of this, Queen Zhou's face was full of smiles, her mother's family is good, she can live more smoothly in this palace.

Zhou Shixiong glanced at the female officials and maids behind her, lowered his eyes and said, "The queen said carefully, this is what I should do.

I don't have a big wish in my life, that is to protect my family, and I don't ask much. "

Empress Zhou's face straightened, "I also think the same way."

Zhou Shixiong lowered his eyes, "It's very good, is the queen healthy?"

At this moment, he felt that there were no female relatives in the mansion, and it was really inconvenient at some times.

Even if he has a good relationship with his own sister, some things are not appropriate to ask.

When Queen Zhou mentioned the marriage again, Zhou Shixiong didn't refuse again.

Hearing that her elder brother was finally willing to marry, Queen Zhou finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Over the years, after delaying and procrastinating, someone found out that she had come here. If she hadn't had to, she really didn't want to pass on a stepchild.

When the marriage was not settled, Zhou Shixiong also received the order and was appointed as the new Minister of the Ministry of War.

There was an uproar in the court, everyone thought that at most they were conferring titles, but they didn't expect that they were actually in control of the real power.

Everyone looked at Cao Qianqian, but they didn't know anything from the other's expression.

But looking at his expression, when he heard the sudden news, he didn't change his face, and even had a smile on his face.

Now everyone can't understand, the position on his butt has been robbed, how can he be so calm?
"Lord Cao, what does Your Majesty mean by this?
I didn't say where I will arrange you. Is there something we don't know? " Jin Jin lowered his head and asked Cao Xiangqian, who was standing aside, in a low voice.

Cao Xiangqian looked at him sideways, "Shang Shengming, this arrangement has his own intentions.

Moreover, Zhouhou Lord's achievements over the years, sitting in my position, are worthy of the name. "

The left and right courtiers almost dropped their jaws when they heard what he said.

Isn't the mind of a reckless man different from their structure?This has already been seized by someone, and he can still speak to the other party.

"Then Master Cao, do you know how His Majesty arranged for you?"

They are all of the first grade, and it is impossible for the Shangshu of the Ministry of War to rise further. As for the title of knight, they have never thought about it.

Since the emperor ascended the throne, not to mention being knighted, it would be nice if these veterans were not demoted.

Cao Xiangqian still had the same smiling face, "I am a brick in the hands of the Holy One, and I can go wherever he wants."
