Chapter 97: The close combat is clearly biased towards Miss Gui!
"Why are you so angry, Your Highness?" Gui Zhi'er responded calmly.
She suddenly moved, her feet lightly shifted, her hands like folding willows, soft but with hidden strength.
After the crisp sound of "crackling", the move changed immediately.
Into a close and fast fighting situation.
After a brief exchange, both of them blocked and counterattacked without any delay.
A strong wind blew into the small study, causing the maps and memorials on the desk to fly everywhere.
Seeing that Liang Yue did not gain the upper hand, the housekeeper, who was eager to protect his master, raised his hand to help capture him.
"Eunuch Fuan, you can't do that. It could easily hurt His Highness by mistake."
Luan Shuangbai pushed out with both palms to intercept the butler, and the two men's powerful internal energy entangled with each other, resulting in a stalemate for a while.
This move is clearly biased towards Miss Gui!
The butler gritted his teeth.
Gui Zhier took the opportunity to tear the black brocade robe of His Royal Highness Prince Yue.
With a "hiss", a large piece of the front of the robe was torn off, and the dragon outlined by the golden thread was incomplete.
At the corner of the robe, there is also an additional footprint on the Ruyi cloud pattern.
Liang Yue staggered back a few steps, a trace of blood seeping from the corner of his lips.
The old injuries in his waist and abdomen were affected, and he looked very miserable.
Want to scam someone?
Guizhier looked at her hands in confusion and was speechless for a moment.
She only used seven points of her internal energy.
However, that trace of blood did not destroy the handsomeness of His Royal Highness Prince Yue, but instead added a different sense of brokenness to him.
His thin lips were slightly parted, he was breathing rapidly, and his hair was disheveled.
The man frowned, his stubborn expression endearing.
"Even though she did all the bad things, she was still beautiful."
Gui Zhier thought to herself that even though she knew that he was abusing his power, she couldn't bear to blame him. Instead, she felt a little guilty for her hypocrisy.
But, there's no chance of controlling her!
The location of the Emperor's Seal was exchanged with the system using contribution points, and the carved Bodhi was also thrown into the space by her.
"Your Highness, I am not being unreasonable. I do have my own difficulties." Guizhier negotiated leisurely.
“To cook the most delicious food in the world is my ambition.”
If you abandon the main quest and get lost in the false prosperity of the small world, you are a fool.
Guizhier showed no fear and stood with her back straight.
Either they go their separate ways, or she overturns the table and no one gets off well.
"Since the young lady is so determined, so be it." Liang Yue's face was pale, and his voice was weak and trembling.
With the help of the butler, he slowly sat down and sank into the chair.
The man's eyes were slightly closed, and his long eyelashes cast a faint shadow on his eyelids.
When I opened my eyes again, they were filled with mist.
"Just as news of the battle on the front lines reached us, the Japanese pirates in Lingnan are invading en masse." He raised his hand with difficulty, but then let it drop helplessly. "The imperial court in Hangzhou is in disarray."
"Now, many talented and ambitious people want to return to the north, but they have nowhere to go."
These people were different from the refugees. Most of them were powerful businessmen, impoverished nobles, and frustrated officials.
They weighed the forces of several parties and secretly explored the strength of the northern border.
How to entertain them is a difficult problem.
First of all, in terms of site selection, Linghe County faces direct attacks from nomadic bandits from the Qiyanwushi tribe in the northeast, which is not safe enough.
The central city is crowded with people and not well-known, so it is not well-hidden.
The rest of the northern border is bitterly cold.
Secondly, the core of the task is how to convert the constant flow of visitors into permanent residents.
"If you can help me accomplish this important task, I will be very grateful." Liang Yue gently wiped the bright red blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve.
He leaned back in his chair, his thin lips trembling slightly, as if he would faint at any moment.
"All the past is wiped out."
The old fox was playing the victim, it turns out he was waiting here.
Guizhi wrinkled her nose and snorted.
With her abilities, even if she doesn't obey King Yue's orders and stays away from the northern border, she can still live a carefree life in this chaotic world.
But as a rule of thumb, the closer you are to the central figure of the small world, the more opportunities you have.
"make a deal!"
Isn't it just to make those rich and stupid people happy in the north and not want to go south?
This is not that simple.
"Ahem, if you need to deploy personnel or spend money, you can tell the housekeeper." Liang Yue got a satisfactory answer and nodded reservedly.
"General Luan, please do not stay any longer. Go to Linghe and take up your post immediately."
So as to avoid being an eyesore here.
"I obey your command!" Seeing that the situation had calmed down, Luan Shuangbai clasped his hands together and stood straight like a pine tree.
The armor clashed with each other, making crisp sounds, demonstrating their courage.
If the Hangzhou court wants to launch a northern expedition to suppress the rebels, Linghe is the first line of defense, and the burden on its shoulders is still very heavy.
Guizhier glanced at the young man.
Helping her to stop the housekeeper just now was already an offense.
She appreciated it in her heart, but if Luan Shuangbai couldn't figure out the situation, he might not be able to stay as the general for long.
"Sister Qianjin, I have taken it away. Before leaving the central city, I will return the Emperor's Seal to its original owner." Gui Zhier turned around and pushed open the door.
Walking out of the messy study, the autumn rain was falling heavily outside.
After the expansion, the government office has the rudiments of a palace. The gray building has been repainted, and the red walls and yellow tiles are more vivid.
The flying eaves and brackets are stacked one after another, and the mythical beasts stand side by side on the roof, giving it a majestic atmosphere of a palace.
The wind blew the raindrops, which looked like white waves rolling on the blue brick ground.
Guizhi'er walked on without stopping, and gradually went farther and farther away, her figure gradually disappearing into the mist and rain.
Every autumn rain brings a chill.
After returning to Guiji Braised Food Shop, the two apprentices had already thoughtfully prepared yam, corn and carrot soup.
Keep warm and the smell of fireworks soothes your heart.
"A-choo."
Guizhi'er felt a sore nose, wiped her wet hair with a towel, and sneezed loudly.
Damn it, I should have known not to show off and take the umbrella away.
"My dear, we will learn to cook whatever dish you tell us to cook, and we will make sure to keep you here!" The girl with ponytail clenched her fists tightly and raised them to her chest.
Her round face was flushed with excitement.
In the past, she never dared to imagine that she could be a cook for a nobleman.
But after Guizhier's training, she became full of confidence.
The bean sprout boy said nothing, but his dark eyes were gleaming with anticipation.
"It's not that simple." Guizhier was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
She took the bowl handed to her by the boy, which contained soft and sticky yam pieces, golden corn kernels and carrot cubes, with tempting colors.
She picked up the spoon, scooped a spoonful of soup, and the delicious soup slid down her throat. She finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Autumn in Zhenbei is short, and winter will soon arrive. Without entertainment, it will be difficult to keep people here with just delicious food..."
Guizhier tapped the table unconsciously with her slender fingers, lost in thought.
In addition to the central city and Linghe County, it still has jurisdiction over three areas: Yusai Pass, Shierbao, and Longsha Town.
She had been to Longsha Town, where the sky was filled with yellow sand.
The distinguished guests lived in houses made of thin red willow branches, and they were so cold that they cried for their parents overnight.
As for entertainment, the only options are wearing fur coats, riding camels and catching desert foxes.
Guizhier scratched the back of his head, his eyes focused and confused.
Even the most luxurious Yaoyue Tower in the central government office must not be surprising in the eyes of distinguished guests.
It is much inferior to Kyoto and Chuhuai.
"What kind of entertainment is there in the North during winter?" she asked sincerely.
The two apprentices looked at each other, equally at a loss.
