Chapter 673 Dancing Princess vs. East Factory Admiral 33
Today is Quan Jiu's first day in court.
Because of her special status, Chu Tuo reserved a seat for her in the first row on the left, and the first row on the right was Chen Lang.
The two men stood on the left and the right, looking straight ahead, as if they were not familiar with each other at all.
Sitting on the dragon throne, Chu Tuo looked at Quan Jiu with relief in his eyes.
"It's Doctor Shen's first day in court. Don't be nervous. Just listen."
With his words, Quan Jiu became the first person to slack off in the Jinluan Palace openly.
When the court was dismissed, Chu Tuo glanced at Prime Minister He, who looked unhappy because his position was taken by Quan Jiu. After hesitating for a moment, he spoke to Chen Lang.
"Lord Shen, Doctor Shen has just arrived and doesn't know his way around the palace yet. Please show him around later."
Shen Lang has always been arrogant, so if he could take this opportunity to offend Doctor Shen, it would be a good thing.
"Your humble servant obeys your order."
…
After leaving the hall, a smile appeared on Quan Jiu's lips.
"This Chu Tuo is really too clever for his own good."
Chen Lang stood side by side with her, walking with one hand behind his back. Because she took small steps, he couldn't help but slow down:
"Since he wants to see it, then let him do as he wishes."
Not long after they started walking, Quan Jiu ran into General Wu Feihu of the Cavalry Battalion.
When Wu Feihu saw Shen Lang beside her, his expression was subtle for a moment, and then he politely greeted Quan Jiu:
"Dr. Shen, I haven't had the chance to congratulate you in person on your promotion."
Quan Jiu helped him up: "General Wu, we are all family, no need to act, just speak directly if you have something to say."
This sentence made the two men present slightly shocked.
Wu Feihu's eagle eyes hidden under his thick eyebrows met Shen Lang's. The latter's eyes were indifferent, but the look he gave him was more scrutinizing than before.
"I came here this time to report to you the results of my brothers' training."
Wu Feihu kept staring at Shen Lang while he spoke.
Although he believed in Quan Jiu's ability to judge people, the eunuch's bad reputation was too deeply rooted in people's minds, and he was not used to this teammate for a while.
Chen Lang pretended not to notice his gaze and just listened quietly.
Quan Jiu thought of Wu Feihu's reputation as a simple and honest person in the court, and his eyes flashed:
"The results can be inspected later, but before that, General Wu would like to perform a scene with us first."
………
Chu Tuo was admiring the flowers with He Miaomiao in the imperial garden when he heard the report from the spies in the palace.
"Your Majesty, the Admiral and Divine Doctor Shen seem to have a disagreement."
Chu Tuo opened his mouth and took the grapes that He Miaomiao fed him, enjoying the taste:
"oh?"
"The two masters were walking around the palace when a maid from the laundry room accidentally splashed dirty water on Doctor Shen. The admiral immediately ordered the maid to be dragged away and lashed with twenty sticks. However, Doctor Shen said that the maid did not do it intentionally and that it was better to forgive her..."
Chu Tuo raised the corner of his mouth even higher: "Go on."
"It was originally just a small matter, but both of you are stubborn people. You have elevated the matter of the palace maid to the level of governing a country and being an official."
"The Admiral thinks that Doctor Shen is too soft-hearted and lacks the decisiveness of an official. Doctor Shen, in turn, thinks that the Admiral is cold-blooded and ruthless and cannot treat the people well..."
When serving as an official in the court, the most taboo thing is to have differences in the ideas of governing the country.
There was no surprise in Chu Tuo's eyes: "Different paths lead to different plans. One is a healer, saving countless lives; the other is in charge of the East Factory, killing countless people. These two are the opposite ends of the scale."
He just didn't expect that the moment of separation would come faster than he imagined.
"Where's Wu Feihu? How did he react?"
The news that the three of them were traveling together reached his ears as soon as possible.
The spy said: "General Wu tried to mediate, but the two masters were stubborn and refused to give in. In the end, Doctor Shen was obviously angry and left the admiral alone to return to the Yangxin Palace."
"Go down."
Chu Tuo waved his hand.
Wu Feihu even started to try to stop the fight, indicating that the two people arguing were the real culprits.
From that day on, the news of the discord between Doctor Shen and the Governor of the East Factory spread like wildfire.
Someone secretly noticed that although Quan Jiu and Shen Lang did not appear to be in conflict on the surface, they never communicated with each other. When their eyes met, both of them had indifferent expressions.
At this point, the rumors that the two were not getting along were confirmed.
The two people who were rumored to be at odds were now squeezed in a carriage.
"arrive."
Quan Jiu, wearing a white jade mask and a low-key white robe, jumped off the carriage first.
When the guards outside the yard saw her, they bowed respectfully and opened the door on their own initiative.
As soon as you enter the yard, you will see training tools everywhere and men in coarse coats training breathlessly.
Seeing Quan Jiu, everyone nodded in greeting. Although he was dressed like ordinary people, when they looked up, they looked heroic and sharp, and it was obvious that he was not an ordinary person.
"Dr. Shen."
Quan Jiu: "I heard you are all done with training?"
"Although we are not as good as you, we brothers have all met the requirements you set."
The person who spoke was Zhao Dali.
"Take me to see it."
Quan Jiu led Shen Lang out.
Shen Lang stepped onto the stairs: "They all respect you very much."
Although she did not reveal the identities of these people, it was not difficult for him to guess the existence of the cavalry battalion given the number of strong men.
To make the soldiers of the cavalry battalion with great military achievements respect someone from the bottom of their hearts is as difficult as founding a country and ascending the throne. Except for the former third prince, I am afraid that even Wu Feihu today cannot do it.
The two men came to the backyard, which was a larger training ground with more complete equipment. Some people were running, and some were practicing swordsmanship. Seeing Quan Jiu's figure, everyone gathered around excitedly.
"Doctor Shen, the mechanism you developed is really useful. Now I can shoot arrows with impeccable accuracy!"
"Me too! That... that... grenade you invented, yes, that grenade, is much more powerful than this grenade of mine. It can blow up a whole area with one blast."
"I've learned the shooting techniques you taught me. Would you like to see them?"
“………”
Everyone was talking at once, and Shen Lang roughly understood what was said.
Quan Jiu stood up and stretched his muscles: "Don't be impatient, come one by one."
Chen Lang sat in the spectator seat, watching Quan Jiu correcting their mistakes and demonstrating how to wield swords and guns to them one by one. He pursed his lips, his eyes slightly deep.
This is not something a pampered princess can do.
Half an hour had passed since Quan Jiu finished checking everyone's training results. She wiped the sweat from her forehead, slumped in her chair, picked up the teacup on the table and brought it to her mouth.
"That's the cup I drank from."
Shen Lang spoke up to remind him.
Quan Jiu said nonchalantly: "You are allowed to use my face towel, but I am not allowed to use your cup?"
Chen Lang: “…”
These words were too intimate, and his eyes deepened.
Quan Jiu returned the empty cup to him: "I want more."
Shen Lang looked at the woman who was becoming more and more presumptuous:
"Do you know who you are commanding?"
Looking around the world, there is no one who would dare to order him to pour tea so naturally.
