Chapter 381 Unfathomable
Lu Yechen said, "The first year after the Emperor ascended the throne was the most difficult. Fortunately, in the past few years, the Emperor has found some evidence against some people, investigated many things, and removed some people from their posts, so he can use his own people. However, many officials were exiled that year, and many died on the way to exile. Even if some survived, they couldn't hold out because of their service. What the Emperor really needs are trustworthy and available talents..."
Lu Yechen knew that talented people like Su Xueyi were what the emperor needed most, not to mention that she was also the most important and trusted person in the emperor's heart.
Even Mrs. Su Shen Yueyao, the emperor felt that if she were a man, she would be able to play a greater role in her official position.
The emperor never discriminates against women.
Because the late queen mother was a smart and kind woman, but unfortunately she died from persecution in the harem and was burned to death in a fire.
If the ancestral system did not allow it, the emperor would have wanted to establish female officials.
In this way, Lu Yechen and Su Xueyi talked a lot.
If facing other people, Lu Yechen would not say a word.
In the eyes of others, Lord Lu, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, is taciturn, bloodthirsty and cold-blooded, and everyone is afraid of him when they see him.
I guess no one would have thought that Lu Yechen would be so relaxed in front of Su Xueyi and Shen Yueyao.
I can also talk freely.
After listening to this, Shen Yueyao had a certain understanding of the court and the emperor.
I feel that the current emperor has a very difficult life.
It seems that after the imperial examination, Su Xueyi will be entrusted with an important task.
It is very likely that he will start as a local official, and if he makes achievements, he will be promoted quickly, so that other officials will not dare to object.
Of course, the emperor's thoughts may be understood by some people in the court and among the noble families.
If their positions were different, some people might want to win over Su Xueyi, while others might want to suppress her.
Shen Yueyao was not afraid at all.
Anyway, the spiritual energy in her space is now rich, and the spiritual power she can use and the mental power she can detect have become much stronger.
They were eating in the cabin on the boat, unaware that the rich aroma was wafting away.
There were also Jinyiwei guarding the four corners of the boat. Everyone was drooling at the smell of the fragrance.
They were all well-trained and had stern expressions, but at this moment they couldn't help but change their expressions and move their lips, feeling their stomachs growling with hunger.
Shen Yueyao didn't bring too many of these pots, so she couldn't let Lu Yechen's subordinates eat together.
But after they finished eating, she thought for a moment, took out the instant noodles and said, "Brother Lu, this is instant noodles you can use when you're out and about. Soak it in boiling water, add the seasoning, and let it soak for a while. Once it's softened, you can eat it."
"I see there are twelve people on your ship. These twelve packets are just enough for everyone."
Just now when they were eating hot pot, they ate the meat first, then added meatballs and vegetables, and cooked a packet of noodles, which were instant noodles.
Lu Yechen had eaten instant noodles before, so he naturally knew how delicious they were. The taste was really different from ordinary hand-rolled noodles.
Lu Yechen naturally did not refuse. He knew that the food Shen Yueyao took out were all delicacies and could not be eaten under normal circumstances.
He looked at Su Xueyi with envy. It turned out that Brother Su could eat delicious food every day.
It is much more convenient to boil water on board.
After Lu Yechen went out, he gave the instant noodles to his subordinates and asked them to boil water to soak them in it.
I also told them how to eat it.
But everyone doesn’t eat together, so they still have to take turns staying on the boat.
They are also returning to Beijing with a mission this time, so they have to be careful on the road.
The Jinyiwei also understood.
When they found out that it was Mrs. Su who gave them the instant noodles, their cold expressions froze for a moment.
Of course they knew who Mrs. Su was.
The chili meat sauce they like to eat and the chili peppers they carry with them all come from Mrs. Su.
In everyone's mind, Mrs. Su has a pair of skillful hands that can turn food into delicious food and make food that others can't make.
They also ate preserved eggs and salted duck eggs.
Sometimes when they were on a mission and had to camp outdoors in the wilderness, and there was nothing to eat in the cold weather, they would eat dry food and steamed buns with things like salted duck eggs, chili meat sauce, and they didn't find the dry food and steamed buns difficult to swallow.
Everyone took the instant noodles and said, "Thank you, Commander!"
They all followed the commander loyally and admired him in their hearts.
It was not because his official position was higher than theirs, but because the commander-in-chief never treated them as subordinates and was very kind to them.
I take good care of them on weekdays.
"Brothers, it's too formal to say these things. Go and eat. Don't worry, this thing is delicious. You will know after you try it."
Everyone nodded, then took turns staying on the boat and making instant noodles.
The first four people went to boil water and make instant noodles. When they actually ate them, they showed shock on their expressionless faces.
"Is this what instant noodles taste like? It's delicious."
"It's so delicious, no wonder the adults said it was delicious."
"It's different from the noodles we usually eat. If we bring noodles with us and cook them fresh, they won't taste like this."
"I think the key is this seasoning..."
They are all Jinyiwei. When they go out, they are usually more cautious, so they rarely talk to each other.
But when eating delicious food, I really can't help but say a few words.
The people guarding outside were drooling at the fragrance wafting in the air.
Fortunately, everyone has undergone rigorous training and has great concentration.
But I couldn’t help but wonder how delicious it must be to smell so good.
Only after they actually put it in their mouths did they realize how delicious it was.
Lu Yechen was very happy knowing that everyone enjoyed the meal and praised it highly.
These brothers followed him out to work, and it was quite hard along the way. Fortunately, they would arrive in the capital in a few days. After completing the task, everyone would feel relieved.
Lu Yechen had a conversation with his subordinates, and every word they said was praising how delicious the instant noodles were.
"Sir, can we buy more instant noodles like we did with the chili meat sauce? If they are so convenient and delicious, it would be nice to take them with us when we go out in the future, and we can also have a hot meal."
Even if you camp outdoors, you can just burn firewood to boil water and have hot meals. The soup is piping hot and tastes great. After drinking it, your body will feel warm. Everyone likes it and can't help but ask about it.
Lu Yechen said: "I don't know about this either, let me ask."
Lu Yechen actually had the same idea in his heart.
Hotpot is delicious, but it is not convenient to eat out.
When they go out on missions, time is very tight and sometimes they can only eat in a hurry.
The name of this instant noodle really fits the way it is eaten. It is indeed convenient and saves time.
After Lu Yechen entered the room, he expressed his thoughts to Shen Yueyao, wondering if he could buy instant noodles.
Shen Yueyao said: “These are just my own homemade meals.”
Lu Yechen said, "Can't we open a workshop to make such a good thing?"
“Isn’t chili con carne made in a workshop?”
Shen Yueyao's expression changed and she said, "That's possible. When I was in the village before, I didn't think about it so much. The main reason is that there are already several workshops, and they are quite busy."
"But if we get to the capital, maybe we can think about it."
When she arrived in the capital, Su Xueyi studied and prepared for the imperial examinations. Apart from taking care of Su Xueyi, she had no other time to spare.
You can open a workshop.
She had thought about this when she was preparing to come to the capital, and wanted to find a way to do business in the capital.
Shen Yueyao was also thinking about buying a shop and a farm in the capital, and she had to do all of these things.
But when I'm busy, I feel more fulfilled every day.
Lu Yechen knew that Shen Yueyao had her own plans and ideas.
But instant noodles are really convenient and delicious.
Shen Yueyao thought for a moment, then took out some vermicelli noodles and said, "You can bring these with you on weekdays. You can also drink them directly by soaking them in water like instant noodles. However, there is no seasoning. You can add some chili sauce and it should taste good."
Lu Yechen accepted these fans and expressed his gratitude repeatedly.
Shen Yueyao said: "We can take Brother Lu's boat to the capital. Brother Lu doesn't want to pay for the boat rental and fees. This is nothing."
Lu Yechen said: "I have also been ordered to protect and take good care of you two..."
Everyone on the boat ate various delicious foods and talked together, and time passed quickly.
With only three days left before entering the Beijing dock area, one night, many black-clad masters suddenly emerged from the river and headed straight for their ship, each with murderous intent.
Shen Yueyao and Su Xueyi were sleeping in the room. When they heard the noise, they quickly got up and woke up.
"There were sounds of fighting outside and the smell of blood."
Shen Yueyao and Su Xueyi quickly packed up and went downstairs.
Su Xueyi watched as many men in black emerged from the boat, each of them using ruthless and deadly moves.
Two or three Jinyiwei have been seriously injured.
One of them fell to the ground, and a man in black held a sword in his hand, trying to stab the fallen Jinyiwei in the heart.
Lu Yechen was stopped by three black-clad masters and was unable to escape to protect his subordinates.
Shen Yueyao's face changed, and just as she was about to take action to save the man, Su Xueyi had already used her sword to block the sword of the man in black as quickly as a gust of wind.
It was deep in the night, and the only sounds were the clashing of swords and the sounds of fighting.
Su Xueyi's sword moves very quickly, and her figure is as fast as the wind. Even when she draws the sword, she is still elegant and graceful.
Wherever the sword in his hand passed, the men in black fell to the ground one by one.
This scene shocked the men in black.
They didn't expect that this man was so skilled.
Lu Yechen had heard rumors about the third son of the Marquis' Mansion, Su San, when he was a child.
At that time, the Marquis' Mansion was still there, and Young Master Su San became famous at a young age. He was a talented and brilliant young man.
At that time, his father would often praise him when he came home.
Lu Yechen had never seen Su Xueyi use martial arts before, and he was shocked when he saw it this time.
Isn't it said that Young Master Su San is weak and was poisoned by a cold early on, so he can't use martial arts or internal energy?
But the situation now looks completely different.
Lu Yechen knew that Su Xueyi's kung fu and internal strength were superior to his, and perhaps even unfathomable.
