Upon hearing this, Liu Yijin knew that the two old foxes had reached an agreement.
The left route army Lu Ziang and the right route army Han Meng, one is from Liu Yong and the other is from King Su, and the supervisory army comes from the official department, it must be a certain balance reached between King Su and Liu Yong, like King Su If Liu Yong hadn't compensated him elsewhere, how could he have given up the position of supervisor so naturally?
Moreover, the Empress did not refute these three candidates, and it seemed that all this was within the Empress' expectation.
If that's the case, then what's the use of having me as a general?
The empress looked at Liu Yijin: "What do you think?"
"I'm a rough guy who doesn't know how to fight. I can arrange a few people who understand military warfare to naturally reduce the burden on the ministers, but what about the logistics supply?"
Seeing that Liu Yijin had no objection to his proposal, Liu Yong patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, General Liu. We in the government will definitely mobilize resources from all parties to fully support it."
King Su also nodded: "The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household also fully support this matter."
"Then I'm relieved, but can I bring more troops?"
Liu Yijin's suggestion shocked the three of them.
Liu Yong smiled and said: "General Liu means that one hundred thousand soldiers and horses are divided into three groups?"
"no."
King Su frowned: "You will choose another group of soldiers and horses from the 12th regiment to accompany you?"
"No."
The empress also looked at Liu Yijin suspiciously, not knowing what this guy was thinking.
"Your Majesty." Liu Yijin scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Actually, my middle route army does not need troops to accompany us."
"Then what are you doing?"
Liu Yijin looked at Prince Su and Liu Yong with a smile and said: "This matter is a long story. Your Majesty also knows that I am a timid person and there are many masters in the army, so I just want to find some people in the world to protect me. ,so....."
Hearing this, Liu Yong and King Su breathed a sigh of relief. They thought this guy wanted to mobilize another 50,000 troops from the 12th regiment camp. If this was the case, wouldn't it mean that His Majesty had 150,000 troops at once? .
But this Liu Yijin was so cowardly that he was so afraid of death.
After all, Liu Yong had an extra thought: "General Liu, do you mean that you selected the Central Route Army yourself from the rivers and lakes?"
Liu Yijin said with a smile: "Didn't we integrate the martial arts schools on Xinglong Street last time? Some people have declared their allegiance to the Wolf Guards, so I want to take advantage of these people."
King Su and Liu Yong breathed a sigh of relief. If this was the case, they would agree with him.
Liu Yong smiled and said: "If that's the case, it's totally fine."
When Liu Yong and King Su saw that His Majesty and Liu Yijin had no objection to their proposal, they immediately became enthusiastic about Liu Yijin: "I wonder if the general has time in the evening, can we have a little gathering together?"
Just as Liu Yijin was about to speak, the empress coughed lightly: "Okay, I have some things to do while I leave Liu Yijin here, so please step back first."
King Su and Liu Yong walked out with relaxed expressions on their faces.
The empress looked at Liu Yijin: "I didn't expect you to be so easy to talk to."
"Isn't it the same for Your Majesty?" Liu Yijin said with a smile: "Actually, in this Northern Expedition, Wei Chen is just a brand. I think Your Majesty already has a candidate in mind."
The empress hummed: "That's inevitable. Otherwise, how could I hand over a hundred thousand troops to you with such confidence? What if you rebel?"
Liu Yijin rolled his eyes: "My loyalty to Your Majesty can be learned from the sun and the moon."
The empress turned her neck slightly, looking a little tired: "Okay, come back to the palace with me."
Liu Yijin was stunned: "Your Majesty, a humble minister must never do such a thing."
The empress' face suddenly darkened: "You do have this intention, but do you have enough heads to be chopped off by me?"
"I just feel sleepy during this period and my back is sore. Please come over and give me a massage."
Liu Yijin was frightened: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Hospital in the Palace..."
"Most of them are people who are afraid of me. Even if they are not sick, they can tell that they are sick. But if they are sick, they dare not say anything. It is not as practical as yours."
Standing in the palace, Liu Yijin felt very uneasy.
When he was massaging the feet of the empress, Gong Qingqiu and some maids were there. Now it was just him and the empress. If something happened, if the empress said that he had molested her, then his reputation would be gone.
The empress took off her coat and walked behind the screen wearing a white lining: "Wait for me here now."
The sound of rushing water rang in his ears, and there seemed to be a faint fragrance of flowers in the air. Liu Yijin stood motionless, not even daring to glance at the screen.
He knew the empress's methods. If he was tricked, he would probably have his house ransacked again.
But the figure of this empress is not ordinary. Those long legs just now are simply longer than Lan Yuer's long legs.
Just when Liu Yijin was thinking wildly, the empress's voice sounded from behind the screen: "Come in."
Liu Yijin hurriedly walked into the gauze tent, where the empress was lying there with a white silk blanket wrapped around her body.
Her hair fell down, her hands were folded on her abdomen, her white calves and delicate feet were exposed to the air, exuding a warm fragrance. Especially the slightly raised part has a full shape and is not small.
Liu Yijin swallowed subconsciously.
The empress snorted coldly: "Have you seen enough?"
Liu Yijin walked forward with a smile: "Don't your Majesty need a shoulder massage?"
"Oh?" The empress turned over slightly, and there was another wave, and her long legs were slightly intertwined.
For a moment, Liu Yijin wanted to see if the white silk was empty, but as soon as this evil thought appeared, he was interrupted by the empress's voice: "Stop being stunned, let's get started."
Liu Yijin endured the physical discomfort and walked to the side carefully: "Your Majesty, please be patient, my technique is a bit harsh." "
Unexpectedly, the empress' face turned slightly red: "Let's start with the feet first."
"Feet?" Liu Yijin was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but glance at the empress suspiciously. There are many kinds of women. Some are sensitive starting from the feet, some starting from the back, and some starting from the ears.
As for the empress's current situation, it naturally starts from her feet.
Liu Yijin took a deep breath and gently held the empress's feet. Looking at the slightly curved toes, Liu Yijin couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart. He couldn't help but flick his thumb with his fingers.
"Oh, what are you doing!" The empress' voice no longer had the majesty of the past, but she said angrily like a little girl.
There were only two people in the huge palace, the empress and Liu Yijin. Whether it was due to the technique or the strength, both people's breathing became rapid.
"His Majesty."
"Huh?" The dreamy murmuring voice made Liu Yijin tremble slightly, and his fingers actually climbed up to his knees, and then upwards.
The empress buried her head between the pillows, stiffened for no reason, and then relaxed again in an instant.
"Your Majesty often sits and reviews memorials. His waist is the most taxing. I would like to help you relax."
You can feel the delicate skin under the silky satin. The warmth and just the right strength from a pair of big hands made the empress' body become even more relaxed.
"The muscles on your Majesty's back are relatively compact. I wonder if your Majesty has tried it without loose skin?"
"Pine bark? What is this?"
Liu Yijin chuckled and said: "Use both hands to keep pinching the skin. This can loosen the skin, but it will hurt a little."
The empress' voice lowered: "Do you need to reveal it?"
Liu Yijin's heartbeat was almost in his throat: "Yes, Your Majesty, do you want to try it?"
The empress hesitated for a moment, then sighed quietly: "Forget it, let's wait until later."
Liu Yijin was slightly disappointed.
The empress enjoyed Liu Yijin's shoulder rubbing service and said: "Liu Yijin, what are your plans for the Central Route Army?"
Liu Yijin said while busy: "There are many martial arts schools on Xinglong Street. I also want to transfer some people from the Wolf Guard. In this way, my safety will be guaranteed."
"You are a guy who is afraid of death!"
Liu Yijin chuckled, "Of course I'm afraid of death. I want to serve His Majesty for a few more years."
"Then I will allow you to do whatever you want, as long as your center army does not exceed 10,000 people, you can do whatever you want."
With the empress's decree, Liu Yijin worked even harder, and after a while he said breathlessly: "Your Majesty, I can't hold on any longer."
"Then take a break and do it again."
"Are you coming again?"
When Liu Yijin returned to Liu Mansion, the sky was already filled with stars.
Wang Ying looked at Liu Yijin walking in with his hands waving, looking suspicious: "What have you been doing in the palace for so long today?"
"I was discussing the Northern Expedition with His Majesty, so I wasted some time."
Wang Ying didn't doubt that he was there, but Lan Yu'er beside her wrinkled her nose slightly: "What's your smell?"
"Ah, His Majesty summoned me in the palace, so..."
"Bedroom?" Several women's eyes looked strange.
Liu Yijin looked calm: "A glorious moment for the emperor's ministers!"
"By the way, Sister Mengyao is back, and she brought a couple with her."
Liu Yijin was stunned for a moment: "What's the relationship?"
"I don't know. Mengyao said I'll meet you when you come back."
Liu Yijin went to Mengyao's small courtyard and saw a couple talking and laughing with Mengyao. On the chair next to Mengyao, there was a handsome young man squatting.
"Sir, you are finally back."
Mengyao stood up with a smile and introduced: "This is Qingluan, as you know, these two are celebrities in the world, known as the swordsmen of the Heroes of Time, the couple of the sword sect."
Liu Yijin hurriedly stretched out his hand: "I have admired my name for a long time, I have admired my name for a long time."
This stretch of hand made the three of them stunned for a moment.
Liu Yijin smiled awkwardly: "The way to say hello."
"Meng Yao, have you arranged food and accommodation? If not, let the maids arrange it."
Mengyao hesitated: "Is it okay to live in the house?"
"There's nothing wrong with that. Your friends are the friends of our Liu family. If you need anything, just ask."
The swordsman looked at Liu Yijin and said, "I want Lan Yu'er."
"What?" Liu Yijin was stunned: "This can't be done!"
"Sir, he means that he needs Lan Yu'er's elixir. After all, the female senior of the Sword Sect still has internal injuries."
Liu Yijin looked at a woman in her forties standing next to the swordsman. She had an elegant appearance, but her face was pale and she was a little out of breath.
"That's not a problem. I'll just ask Lan Yu'er to make more pills for the virtuous couple later."
The swordsman gave Mengyao a grateful look.
The latter also breathed a sigh of relief: "Sir, the two of them will stay in the house and be responsible for the safety of Liu's house."
Liu Yijin's face suddenly showed gratitude, and he bowed deeply: "Thank you two for every pound."
"Sir, please get up quickly!" The swordsman didn't expect Liu Yijin to be so straightforward, so he immediately said: "The two of us are causing trouble for you, sir."
"No trouble, it's my honor. I will be going north soon, and everything in the house depends on two more people."
Qingluan on the side snorted: "I had a problem with you just now, but now I have changed my mind a bit."
"Seeing that you are very honest, I will reluctantly agree to go north with you."
Liu Yijing was stunned, and couldn't help but bow deeply: "Thank you for every kilogram, Mr. Qingluan."
Qingluan waved his hand and said: "Don't thank me in a hurry, I have conditions."
"Young Master Qingluan has some requests, and I, Liu, have agreed to them all."
Qingluan hummed, "I need the Great Return Pill."
Liu Yijin blinked: "Then how many do you need?"
Qingluan hesitated for a moment, then stretched out two fingers: "Can I give you this first?"
"Two bottles? That's easy! I'll get it for you now!"
Seeing Liu Yijin hurriedly, Qingluan's handsome face showed a trace of confusion: "Liu Yijin has so many Dahuan Dan?"
Mengyao nodded: "Who knows what the conversation between him and His Majesty was like?"
"But I just wanted two bottles, and this guy just gave me two bottles."
"The more, the merrier. Anyway, Liu Yijin has a lot of these things on his body."
