Chapter 372 Abnormal, too abnormal
In the Du Mansion, the breakfast bought by Chu Liuzheng received unanimous praise from everyone.
Everyone had been busy all night and was starving, so there was not enough food to go around.
Fortunately, the kitchen had prepared some porridge and snacks, so everyone didn't go hungry.
"Master, please try the egg-filled pancake."
As the saying goes, the hustle and bustle of life heals the hearts of the people. After going out to buy breakfast and coming back, Chu Liuzheng became much more natural when facing Xiao Jingfan.
She figured it out.
Since the more she hid, the worse the situation became, she simply stopped hiding and focused on doing her own job, letting the bullets fly for a while.
Maybe after a while Xiao Jingfan will meet someone better, or fall in love with Miss Huang and won't care about her as a little palace maid anymore?
There are three thousand beauties in the harem, in other words, people get tired of the old and love the new. She feels that there is still great hope.
With a change of heart, Chu Liuzheng placed the food in front of Xiao Jingfan as usual, a faint smile filling his clear almond eyes: "I watched over it, it's very clean, you can eat it without worry."
Xiao Jingfan looked at the greasy pancake in front of him and didn't want to touch it.
"Hold the outer oil paper." Chu Liuzheng knew this gentleman's problem and took a pancake from the side to demonstrate. "Hold it this way, and it won't get on your hands."
Xiao Jingfan still didn't reach out.
Chu Liuzheng had no choice but to hand him a pair of chopsticks.
Xiao Jingfan looked at his own pancake, then at hers, feeling something was different, and asked, "What did you add?"
"I brushed some hot sauce on it," Chu Liuzheng said as he took the hot sauce away from him. "Doctor Feng said you have a sore throat and need a light diet."
Xiao Jingfan: "..."
He looked up at Chu Liuzheng. Chu Liuzheng reacted quickly and handed the hot sauce directly to the maid, asking her to take it away quickly and not think about it anymore if she couldn't see it.
Xiao Jingfan, who failed to intimidate others, said: "..."
He frowned, stared at the egg-filled pancake in front of him for a while, then lowered his eyelashes as if in compromise, picked up some with chopsticks, and ate slowly.
Chu Liuzheng was worried that he would choke, so he poured a bowl of soy milk and placed it in front of him, and handed him a handkerchief to wipe his mouth from time to time.
Zhou Yuande on the side nodded with satisfaction, yes, yes, that’s it!
"I ran into Miss Huang when I was buying breakfast just now."
Chu Liuzheng waited until everyone had almost finished eating before bringing up the matter.
"What a coincidence." Feng Jing drank the last bit of soy milk in the bowl, looked up, and found that everyone was staring at him.
He raised his hand to touch his face: "Is there something on my face?"
"Ahem." Lu Fei, who was sitting next to him, cleared his throat and glanced at him. "Do you really believe it was a coincidence?"
Feng Jing nodded and asked, "What else?"
Everyone: “…”
You are so naive.
At this moment, a black shadow suddenly appeared in the yard.
"My lord, there is an urgent letter from the capital." Xiao Da respectfully presented a letter.
[It's finally delivered! The Tyrant will soon know that Han Dahuyou sent him gold.]
With this unexpected windfall, Chu Liuzheng felt that the emperor would be in a very good mood that day.
Of course, happiness is only temporary.
[With so much gold, the tyrant would definitely send people to take it, but the gold has already been stolen. In his rage, the tyrant has transformed into a fire-breathing dragon.]
[When we send someone to investigate, we'll find out! It was pirates who did it.]
[Oh no! It was done by those pirates who were said to have been completely wiped out.]
[Oh no! The admiral not only lied about his military achievements but also concealed this matter.]
【oh--】
Chu Liuzheng paused, as if he had lost consciousness.
So I added the last sentence smoothly in my mind.
[Oh la la, the Admiral is completely screwed! ]
After hearing a series of "oh wow" Xiao Jingfan said: "..."
I know you really want the admiral to say "oh oh", but can you say less "oh oh"? I'm already hearing it in my head.
He calmly opened the letter, calmly read the contents, and then calmly put the letter back without even moving his eyebrows. He did not look like the devil that Chu Liuzheng had imagined, with the corners of his lips raised, his eyebrows relaxed, and his smile not caring about anyone's life or death.
Chu Liuzheng: ???
[The tyrant's reaction is wrong. Could it be that this letter wasn't written by Han Dahuyou?]
She opened the system and went straight to the latest gossip, and found it after just a few clicks.
"That's right, the letter was about the gift of gold. The tyrant suddenly received such a large sum of gold. He should be at least happy, if not beaming. Why this reaction? Is it too little?"
Xiao Jingfan, who had already known about this and knew that the gold had been robbed, was very calm and did not embarrass the emperor at all.
He arranged things in an orderly manner according to what he had planned before. His tone was calm and his expression was normal throughout, which made Chu Liuzheng glance at him frequently.
Abnormal, very abnormal.
Chu Liuzheng found Feng Jing and asked him to check Xiao Jingfan's pulse to make sure he didn't have a fever.
Xiao Jingfan looked at the map without paying any attention and stretched out his wrist for Feng Jing to take his pulse.
After observing, listening, asking and feeling his way around, Feng Jing was very sure that Xiao Jingfan did not have a fever.
Chu Liuzheng still felt something was wrong and asked, "Are there any other symptoms?" For example, sudden personality disorder or mental illness.
Feng Jing looked at her.
He knew that Chu Liuzheng was worried about the emperor taking a liking to her, but there was no need to be so worried that she hoped someone would get sick, right?
Chu Liuzheng urged: "Just tell me quickly."
"My liver fire is a bit strong." Feng Jing put his hands in his pockets, "Just make some chrysanthemum tea and drink it."
So don’t expect people to get sick!
Chu Liuzheng nodded.
She suddenly understood.
The tyrant's reading of Buddhist scriptures has had a remarkable effect. He is no longer moved by external things. Even a charming little demon like gold no longer interests him.
Xiao Jingfan choked on a mouthful of tea and coughed until his face turned red.
Chu Liuzheng hurried over and watched Zhou Yuande pat his back.
[Tsk tsk, you're already an adult, why do you always choke? No one's trying to snatch it from you.]
Xiao Jingfan: "..."
Would he be choked if this woman didn't say some weird things in her heart?
He wasn't angry yet, but this woman was already criticizing him in her heart.
What's the reason for this?
This is Chu Liuzheng's reasoning, but she doesn't know that the emperor can hear her thoughts.
Seeing that Xiao Jingfan had stopped coughing and was fine except for his face being a little red, Chu Liuzheng felt relieved and took his people to pack their luggage.
This time, everyone except the guards rode in a horse-drawn carriage when they went to Sishui Town.
One is for safety, two is to hide from others, and three is to catch up on sleep.
Everyone was busy all night and was really sleepy.
He slept so soundly in the carriage that the sky was dark and the sun and moon were invisible. Even if you stabbed him with a knife, he wouldn't wake up.
As the convoy left the city, a flare shot into the sky, creating a red flower against the azure sky.
In the dense forest, the tall and mighty silver-armored general withdrew his gaze from the sky and ordered in a deep voice: "Enter the city."
When the rain falls, the city of Xian is in chaos.
One day.
The rain stopped.
The golden crow sank into the horizon, leaving a streak of red on the deep blue sky.
The convoy arrived at Sishui Town and entered the military camp.
The garrison deputy general Huang Xin and the Jinwu Guards came to pay their respects.
In the military tent, Xiao Jingfan carefully inquired about the situation in Sishui Town, while Chu Liuzheng quietly opened the system to look for his own goal of meritorious service.
[Where is Yin Lanci now? ]
