Tyrant I am from MI9

Chapter 254

Qing Xia raised both hands high, took the Son of Heaven Sword, kowtowed loudly and said: "I must devote myself to my death, and I will live up to His Majesty's expectations!"

The military officials of Southern Chu shouted in unison: "I will do my best, and I will die after death. I will live up to your majesty's expectations!"

The wild goose flew alone in the sky, slanting across the sky, and was so frightened by the astonishing cry from below that it almost fell from the sky.

The battle of soldiers was just a situation until the afternoon broke up, the palace prepared a banquet, and all civil and military officials gathered to drink in the Qian'an Hall.Although the atmosphere at the banquet was not harmonious, fortunately no one disturbed the situation, and the banquet did not end until late at night.Xia Qing returned to the Great Summer Palace under the escort of Le Song and others, and Jin Yu had already ordered people to prepare fragrant soup and wait for her.Qing Xia drank a lot of water and wine at the banquet, Chu Li sympathized with her, and mixed water into the wine at her banquet, it didn't hurt to drink it.It's just that those ministers brought pots to toast, but they were all real spirits. After a round, she was already dizzy, and she didn't feel much after riding a horse in the cold wind just now, but now she became slightly drunk.

He took off his court clothes, walked to the bath room, dismissed the servants, took off his underwear, soaked his whole body naked in the fragrant soup, leaned his head on the pool behind, took a deep breath, and all the fatigue in his body subsided.

For some reason, I suddenly remembered that when I was in Nanchu, the first time I confronted Chuli head-on was in that small bathroom.He was still the Crown Prince of Southern Chu at that time, he had a bad temper, and the city mansion was not as deep as it is now, so he even secretly watched you take a bath, and was severely beaten by her.Thinking about it now, what happened at that time seems to have happened in the previous life, but in fact, it was only a few years.

The temperature of the water was gradually getting colder, Qing Xia put away her confused thoughts, remembered that the safety knot was still halfway there, stood up from the pool, wiped off the water on her body, put on a large cotton white nightgown, and walked slowly back to the pool. bedroom.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw a person wearing a pine green brocade robe and snow-white boots, lying on her side on her soft couch, she seemed to have fallen asleep without taking off her shoes.Qing Xia was slightly startled, but she didn't make a sound, she could enter her bedroom so silently, and without anyone making any noise, she would like to know who it was.She walked forward lightly, only to see that Chu Li's face was reddish, his brows were slightly frowned, as if he had some troubles in his sleep, and he was sleeping with his clothes on.With a faint fragrance from the room on her body, it was obvious that she had been here for a while, but before she could wait for herself, she fell asleep on her own.

He also drank a lot of wine today, no wonder he couldn't stand it now.Qing Xia picked up the brocade quilt at the side, covered him, and took off his boots, for fear of waking him up, she didn't take off his robe, but unbuttoned the two buttons around his neck, so that his breathing would be a little easier .

After finishing all these, Qing Xia took the unfinished safety knot, sat on the other side of the soft couch, and tied the knot carefully.The cyan knot was dexterously flying up and down in her hands, passing through the buttons one by one, weaving complicated patterns with ease.Qing Xia picked up the knot and took a look in front of her eyes, only to see the light from the palace lantern passed through the gap of the knot, and shone on her face, the light was bright and dark, and it was actually the word "Ping An" faintly.

She turned over and jumped off the soft couch, squatted beside Chu Li, lifted a corner of the brocade quilt to reveal the white jade pendant, and tied the knot on the pendant of the jade pendant thinly.After tying it up, he looked at it with satisfaction, only to see that the blue and white are very suitable.

She couldn't help but smile, the woman's black hair slanted, her toga has big sleeves, her snow-skinned black eyes, she looked so graceful.A warm hand suddenly covered Qing Xia's face, Qing Xia was startled, and immediately raised her head, only to see that Chu Li had woken up at some point, lying on his side on the bed, his eyes fixed looking at her.

Qing Xia's face turned red immediately, and she stood up somewhat unnaturally.But seeing the man with black hair scattered behind him, jade face and sword eyebrows, eyes shining like stars, leaning on the soft couch, supporting his head with one hand, the front of the pine green brocade robe was open, revealing a strong bronze chest, holding the jade pendant in one hand Picking up the knot on the paper, I picked it up and played with it carefully, and suddenly found the word "Ping An" under the light of the lamp. I was overjoyed and said in surprise like a child: "There are words?"

Seeing his appearance, Qing Xia no longer showed restraint, covered her mouth with a smile, and said: "It's amazing, I haven't seen it before."

Chu Li nodded honestly and said, "I haven't seen it before, I don't know you still have this ability."

"There are a lot of things you don't know," said with a light smile, "I still have a lot of skills, and I will let you learn them one by one when I have a chance."

Chu Li curled his lips in disdain, and said: "If you say you are fat, you will gasp. The narcissists of all women in the world, you are the most."

When he spoke like this, the two immediately found the familiar feeling of laughing and scolding back then, and at the same time felt something in their hearts, they looked at each other and smiled at each other.

Qing Xia brought the tea set and was very good at boiling water and making tea. After a while, the room was full of fragrance, she handed a cup to Chu Li, and said: "Be careful when you go to Xichuan this time."

Seeing her caring tone, Chu Li couldn't help feeling warm in his heart, and said, "Don't worry, I've already made up my mind."

Qing Xia nodded, and said slowly: "It's not easy for Yan to return to this person. In my opinion, when he lost to you in Xihei, it was also to drag down the Xichuan army, so that the royal army did not have the strength to fight against him. I I heard that Major General Zhaonan beat the Southern Huns to the ground, and even Lu Huayang's navy failed to win him over. Now on the grassland, as long as the banner of Major General Zhaonan is erected, no matter whether it is the headquarters of the Huns or Jurchen, Wali, and Mongols all fled, not even seeing their shadows. In my opinion, it is only a matter of time before the Northern Huns seek refuge in Xichuan."

Chu Li nodded, and said, "Qin Zhixiang's methods are too ruthless, and if he moves, his family will be wiped out, and he will scare the Huns. Although Mo Zhaonan has made great achievements in battle, he treats the surrendered troops fairly generously. Only Xichuan and Daqin In the country, Bei Qin has forced them to retreat, and Xichuan has become the only refuge. But I didn't expect that Yan Hui and Mo Zhaonan were waiting behind for this move, and I underestimated him before."

Qing Xia frowned slightly, and said: "Who is this Mo Zhaonan, and what is his relationship with Yan Hui? Do you think it is possible to use interests to divide?"

Chu Li shook his head slowly, and said: "It is said that he is Yanhui's adoptive son, who was adopted in his teens. He was once the leader of Yanzi, but he was only recently released as an official. It should be difficult."

"Yizi?" Qing Xia recited the name silently, thought for a while and said: "Since there is no way to divide the relationship between them, why not try to find a way to divide the relationship between the Huns and Xichuan?"

Chu Li raised his eyebrows and said, "What's your plan?"

Qing Xia shook her head and said: "I haven't thought it through yet, but leave this matter to me, I will try my best to hold them back and make trouble behind them."

Chu Li smiled and said, "Okay, I'll just wait and see."

Just as he was talking, his stomach suddenly groaned, Chu Li's face froze, and he said a little embarrassedly: "I just went to drink at the banquet, but now I'm a little hungry."

Qing Xia chuckled, Chu Li rarely had such an embarrassing expression, stood up and said: "Just wait, I will personally operate the knife and make some delicious food for you, and I will treat it as a practice for you."

After a while, a table full of delicious food was brought up. There were still some materials left to cook Western food for Erics and others a while ago. Qing Xia made a table of seafood for Chu Li. The two faced each other. And sit, eat up.

Jin Yu lit four more palace lanterns, and the inner room became brighter and brighter. Qing Xia smiled lightly, watching Chu Li clumsily use the knife and fork, almost laughed a few times.

Chu Li lost his temper, threw away the knife and fork with a bang, looked around for the familiar chopsticks, but when he didn't find them, he reached out and grabbed them with his hands.Jinyu, who was waiting on the sidelines, was taken aback and ran out to get chopsticks.

Qing Xia smiled: "You are a majestic emperor, you still eat with your hands, and you don't know how to avoid taboos in front of servants."

Chu Li said impatiently: "It's not that you're playing tricks on me. This knife and fork can be used to kill people, but how can it be used to eat? I'm so anxious."

Qing Xia covered her mouth and said with a smile: "That means you are ignorant and ignorant. Western countries all use knives and forks to eat. If you look like this, if you sail to sea in the future, you will definitely be laughed at."

Chu Li said in dismay: "Why should I learn the etiquette of other countries? As long as my Southern Chu is strong enough, and all nations will worship in the future, they will all have to learn the etiquette and language of our dynasty, so I don't need to follow them."

Qing Xia was taken aback, Chu Li saw that she was silent, and asked: "What's wrong?"

Qing Xia shook her head and said: "It's nothing. You are right. If we are strong enough, no one in the world can bully the people of our country, and no one will look down on us. As a generation of emperors, we should try our best to make people in the world Learn their language and customs, this is the demeanor of a generation of powerful monarchs."

Chu Li frowned slightly, and said suspiciously: "Aren't you flattering me?"

Qing Xia smiled and said: "Is it because you are suspicious, or am I really so mean, and people don't believe me when I say a few truths occasionally? Chu Li, I suddenly thought, maybe I can do something useful to help Huaxia's Common people, do what you can."

"How do you talk about this?"

Qing Xia smiled slightly, put down the knife and fork, and said: "You don't know, in my era, there were hundreds of years in the middle, the country was weak, and it was bullied by Westerners and Orientals so that it couldn't hold its head up, and thousands of people died , Cessation of land and compensation, very useless. I used to think that these things have nothing to do with me. People live for a hundred years, how can they take care of the future, but now thinking about it, that may be too selfish. God gave me a new life A chance is not necessarily meaningless, if it can really help the country become rich and strong, it can be considered an achievement, right?"

Chu Li frowned, and said, "Why, are the Orientals so powerful with you?"
