Chapter 955: You guys go out, I have something to say to the Queen!

Daxia had no intention of concealing the fact that the Tuoba people in Mobei were planning to send people to negotiate.

Therefore, the people at Wuhekou Pass have already started discussing this matter, wondering what the people of Mobei are going to do now that things have come to this.

But everyone also understood that many distinguished people had come to the pass recently, and even the army was said to have begun to be dispatched here.

What is coming will come, and there is no way to stop it. So even though I know in my heart that the countdown to war has begun, since I have chosen to settle down in Wuhekou Pass, there is no need to think about it. Just be happy, and everything else is unnecessary.

And there have been some fun things happening inside the country recently.

General Lu would take a big broom and sweep the streets every morning. The streets he swept were, in his own words, whiter than one's buttocks.

People inside the pass didn't know what General Lu was doing, but they just wanted to watch the fun three times a day, morning, noon and evening.

Once, when the sun was about to set, General Lu had just finished sweeping with a broom, and an old soldier joked, "General, what are you doing recently? Are you going to get married? Why are you making Wuhekou so clean?"

Lu Cunxiao was not annoyed, and replied with a smile, "Marry your sister who has not yet married! What, your brother-in-law didn't invite your brother-in-law to drink?"

Hearing this, the man immediately jumped up and said, "Oh, my brother-in-law, wait, I will go back to my hometown and pack up my sister and send her to you."

Lu Cunxiao immediately cursed, "Get lost."

Everyone was laughing, and taking advantage of the excitement, someone asked, "Why are you sweeping the streets? Have you gotten into trouble? We know that Coach Meng is coming."

When Lu Cunxiao heard this, he immediately replied, "Do you know why one of the two saints suddenly passed away after they quarreled?"

Everyone was puzzled.

Lu Cunxiao said, "Because I am happy to do it!"

Then he walked away with a broom in his hand, looking very proud.

But on the next day, everyone saw that the general who was so arrogant the night before, in addition to a broom, also brought a bucket and sackcloth. He not only started sweeping the streets, but also started wiping the shop door pillars and other things.

This is naturally still the case today.

Lu Cunxiao held a linen cloth in his hand. After dipping it in water, he didn't dare to use force for fear of tearing the cloth. Then he began to wipe the pillar of a shop.

Although he looked happy on the surface, he felt unhappy inside.

Sweeping the streets or cleaning these things here is naturally not something he is happy to do. It was all because he went to pay his respects to the commander of Yan that day, and then the old man was not happy, and turned around and said, "Are you free? If you are free, go sweep the streets!"

Afterwards, I don't know which bastard told the old man that "I agree".

As a result, the old man said, "If I am willing, then clean up the shop for me as well!"

Lu Cunxiao felt that it was Han Kuang and Wang Shao who did it. They wished that I would be punished every day.

However, Lu Cunxiao didn't quite understand what the old man was doing. He just wanted to talk to Commander Yan, but he didn't even get to say anything.

"General Lu."

Just as Lu Cunxiao was struggling with a stubborn piece of dirt with a piece of sackcloth, he heard the sound.

Turning around, I saw a man and a woman.

The middle-aged man bowed and said, "I am Pan Qiao, your humble servant. I greet General Lu."

The woman also bowed quickly and said, "I am Qi Qi, your humble servant, and I am honored to meet General Lu."

Lu Cunxiao was stunned for a moment, looking at the two people with some surprise. He didn't know Pan Qiao, but he had heard of Qi Qi, the eldest daughter of the Qi family. It was said that the old man of the Qi family asked her to take most of the Qi family's wealth to Yan area in order to avoid disaster, which saved the Qi family.

Moreover, Lu Cunxiao heard that this woman was quite talented and efficient in her work.

Lu Cunxiao clasped his fists in return, then looked at Pan Qiao curiously: "Master Pan, Master Qi wants to talk to me about something?"

Pan Qiao immediately waved his hand and said with a smile, "General, can you please spare me a moment to talk?"

Lu Cunxiao nodded immediately and called the two to the noodle stall next to him, which was the noodle stall where Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang were that day.

After Lu Cunxiao called out to Lao Zhang to bring three bowls of noodles, he looked at Pan Qiao and Qi Qi.

Pan Qiao smiled and said, "General, His Majesty has given you an order."

When Lü Cunxiao heard this, he was about to stand up, but Pan Qiao stopped him and said, "Your Majesty has told us not to perform the formalities, because he just wanted us to tell you that we will negotiate with the Tuoba people in two days, and you and I will go together."

As he spoke, Pan Qiao took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Lu Cunxiao, saying, "This is the list of people that the other party is going to bring. There are people you know on it."

Lu Cunxiao didn't take the paper, but looked at Pan Qiao: "We have fought a lot of battles, but we haven't had any negotiations. You just talked a few words on the battlefield, and I've already rushed forward with my spear in hand."

As he spoke, Lu Cunxiao realized something, so he took the paper and lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, do you want me to make a scene? Bring a sledgehammer or a knife!"

Pan Qiao waved his hands quickly: "Be polite, be polite, General, we are a country of etiquette in Daxia. Since we have accepted the negotiation, we must be elegant and refined, and we can't be as vulgar as them."

When Lu Cunxiao heard this, he couldn't help but frown. Why did His Majesty ask me to do this? Thinking this, he opened the paper.

The names of the five people inside.

But when he looked at it, Lu Cunxiao was stunned: "Yuwen Baobao?"

Then he looked at Pan Qiao unceremoniously: "Why does this son of a bitch dare to come to my side instead of staying in Rouran?"

Some of the Tuoba people actually have their base in the six towns of the Rouran, such as the Yuwen family. They seem to rely on Helian, but in fact, the Yuwen family has good relations with the Erzhu family and other major Rouran clans in the northern desert.

Pan Qiao said, "His grandfather Yuwen Tao and others are still in Rouran."

Lu Cunxiao nodded and looked at the name Yuwen Baobao.

At that time, Lu Cunxiao had just joined the army and was serving on the Rouran side. He was a centurion at the time.

The Rouran side sent out troops, led by a young boy, but he defeated two generals of the Daxia in a row, and a large piece of pasture was taken away from the grassland.

At that time, Zhu Huang was just an ordinary vanguard general on the Rouran side. He was ordered to lead his troops to provide support. When the two armies faced each other, Yuwen Baobao was also a very powerful general.

At that time, Zhu Huang looked at the brave young general of the other side and planned to take action himself.

Lu Cunxiao had no right to speak, but when he heard this son of a bitch say, "I heard that you, Zhu Huang, are a mad dog around the Emperor of Daxia."

Oh, hearing this, Lu Cunxiao had a bad temper. Zhu Huang had been kind to him, so how could he be happy to be scolded like that? So he didn't care about any rules and rushed out with a knife. At that time, Lu Cunxiao was a foot soldier and didn't have a horse, so he just ran over.

It's funny no matter how you look at it.

When Zhu Huang saw this, he immediately rode out on his horse to stop the young and foolish Lu Cunxiao.

But Yuwen Baobao had already rushed out on his horse, and Lu Cunxiao was running really fast.

It was Yuwen Baobao who approached Lu Cunxiao first.

Before Zhu Huang could make a move, the two men started fighting.

Then

Zhu Huang saw that not only did Lu Cunxiao cut off the head of the warhorse under Yuwen Baobao's crotch with one sword, but he also kicked Yuwen Baobao away and planned to chase him and chop him.

But the enemy cavalry charged to rescue the people.

Zhu Huang waved his hand and the army charged forward.

And Lu Cunxiao just continued to rush towards Yuwen Baobao with his legs dazed. As a foot soldier holding a knife, he charged recklessly among the cavalry and became famous in one battle!

But that time, Yuwen Baobao survived and was not killed after all.

The second time, Yuwen Baobao led his army to attack Yunzhou. At that time, Lu Cunxiao was already a captain and also led an army. When the two met, Lu Cunxiao rushed towards Yuwen Baobao on horseback. He was so brave that he didn't even care about chopping off the opponent's flag with a knife and wanted to kill Yuwen Baobao.

But in the end, no one was killed.

Yuwen Baobao was almost victorious on all other battlefields, but he had to flee in disgrace twice, leaving his weapons and armor behind.

Lu Cunxiao closed the paper and looked at Pan Qiao: "He is here. His Majesty asked me to go. This means that I should take action."

Pan Qiao quickly smiled and said, "That's not my intention. General, don't be reckless. We are negotiating after all, so we still have to talk properly. Besides, Lord Qi and I are both scholars. His Majesty sent us two to treat him with courtesy. We can't do this, we can't do this."

When Qi Qi heard this, she looked at Pan Qiao, not knowing what to say. But apart from helping out in the Jianghu camp for a while, she had always been thrown under Lord Pan's command. In Yu Yunwen's words, she had to learn more from Lord Pan.

Qi Qi was quite obedient, especially since Pan Qiao was really amazing and knowledgeable in her eyes, and she had to admire him.

But Lu Cunxiao frowned and looked down at the table: "Treat him with courtesy."

As he said this, he pursed his lips and said, "Although I can read, I haven't read many books seriously, and I can't speak fluently. How about I read a few more books in the next two days and memorize a few sentences?"

Although Lu Cunxiao felt awkward, he could not disobey the emperor's order, so he still had to get the job done, though he was a little worried.

Pan Qiao said, "That's not necessary. We just need to be polite when the time comes. We must not lose the demeanor of a great country. As envoys, we represent Daxia when we travel. We should not let them down and treat them with courtesy. Civil officials have their own elegance and military generals have their own demeanor. General Lu does not need to feel pressured. When the time comes, you can do whatever I do."

Lu Cunxiao nodded, but looked at Pan Qiao: "Okay! But Old Pan, don't be polite to me, just call me by my name or Old Lu. However, we still need to dress ourselves up, we can't go like this. It would be better if we dress politely."

As he was speaking, the noodle stall owner brought the noodles over, smiled and said a few polite words before leaving.

Lu Cunxiao invited Qi Qi to eat and told him to not be polite.

Pan Qiao had no intention of being polite, so he mixed the noodles and said, "It's only natural to dress up and treat him with courtesy."

Lu Cunxiao nodded, but just as he was about to take the first bite, he looked at Pan Qiao with a startled expression: "Your Majesty, you won't disguise yourself and go with us, will you?"

Pan Qiao swallowed the noodles in his mouth and shook his head immediately: "Your Majesty didn't say it, but I don't think so. After all, although Your Majesty came to Wuhekou for the sake of the overall situation, the queen has not woken up after all. When the two of us met Your Majesty today, His Majesty looked bad and acted dizzy and nauseous from time to time. It seems that His Majesty is not well."

Lu Cunxiao nodded. He knew that His Majesty said so, but according to what Mr. Mo said, it was just a cold and the result of overwork.

As for the matter of the Empress, Lu Cunxiao looked at Pan Qiao and understood that Pan Qiao and Qi Qi seemed to be unaware that the Empress had woken up. But it was also similar to what he heard from the old man, that most people did not know that the Empress had woken up.

If he had not seen His Majesty like this with his own eyes, he would have believed the rumors that His Majesty was heartbroken because of the Empress.

But since he had concealed it, he naturally sighed: "Hey, His Majesty. Hey~~~"

As he said this, Lu Cunxiao looked at Pan Qiao and said, "But since that's the case, we have to do this even better. However, I'm a vulgar person, and I only speak swear words. I don't know those etiquettes. Then it will depend on you, Old Pan."

Pan Qiao bowed in return.

Lu Cunxiao began to think, His Majesty asked him to do this thing, and he had to be polite, how could he be polite? As he looked at Pan Qiao chewing slowly, he couldn't help but imitate him.

But after learning it a few times, isn’t this difficult for me, Old Lu?

Qi Qi frowned. She didn't believe the rumors at first, but when she saw His Majesty's appearance today, she wanted to ask how the Queen was doing, but she didn't dare to speak in the end.

But in fact, when he came out, Qi Qi saw a person dressed as a cook. Although he only saw her from a distance, the person's back looked somewhat like the Empress.

…

Su Changan looked at Xia Fengxiang who ate a mouthful of the noodles he made and then kept drinking water: "Not to your liking?"

Xia Fengxiang was about to speak, but immediately drank a sip of water, then looked at Su Changan and cursed: "You're going to kill me with this spicy food!"

After cursing, he took another sip and said, "And you made such a sour side dish, what were you thinking?"

Su Changan looked down at this side, then at the pickled cucumber, and then at Xia Fengxiang: "Isn't it said that sour boys and spicy girls? I don't know whether you like spicy or sour food, so I tried both. But you don't like any of them. Is there something wrong with your body? Should I go find Mr. Mo?"

Xia Fengxiang was extremely angry.

Seeing her like this, Su Changan immediately brought a few other dishes to her: "These are good, the flavors you like."

As he spoke, he brought the boiled chicken leg to Xia Fengxiang.

But looking down at the bowl of noodles, "It's not very spicy. I didn't dare to make it too spicy."

Thinking of this, Su Changan looked at Yan Ruyu: "Ruyu, here you go."

Yan Ruyu was stunned for a moment and wanted to say that she couldn't eat spicy food, but when she looked at the Queen, she felt a little aggrieved, but she still reached out to take it.

The Empress has been acting weirder than before lately, and bullying me more than before.

Xia Fengxiang glared at Su Changan, then said, "Eat it yourself!"

But after saying that, he changed his words and said, "Give it to Kuyue."

Su Changan glanced at Ruyu and nodded: "Okay."

Xia Fengxiang took the chicken leg and handed it to Xia Yuanyuan who was also sitting at the table.

Because her aunt was around, Xia Yuanyuan was unusually well-behaved and even her sitting posture was different. When she was alone with Su Changan, Xia Yuanyuan didn't even bother to think of her sitting posture, her hand had already reached out for the big chicken leg.

But now it just sits there obediently.

When she saw the chicken leg that her aunt brought to her, she was definitely greedy, but Xia Yuanyuan didn't dare to touch it.

When Su Changan saw this, he said, "Take it quickly. Your aunt is the emperor. Do you dare to refuse something she gives you?"

Xia Yuanyuan immediately accepted the chicken leg upon hearing this, and even jumped off the stool, bowed to Xia Fengxiang and said, "Thank you, aunt."

Xia Fengxiang looked at Xia Yuanyuan like this and suddenly realized something. You usually talk to Yuanyuan about me like this? And you still say she is afraid of me?!

Then he looked at Su Changan and said, "Ruyu, take Yuanyuan out first. I have something to tell Su Changan."
