"Come on, if you keep talking, I will go and pamper her today!"
Ji Hongluan quickly shut up, "Just don't say anything."
She gently pulled Xiao Chen: "It's my turn to serve you tonight. This is the beef whip soup specially made for you."
After waving gently, the little girl next to him brought the soup over.
Isn't this a naked provocation?
Xiao Chen hugged him directly onto his lap: "Why, are you still afraid of me?"
"Where is it? The general is so energetic every night. If he comes to my place..."
Ji Hongluan pouted her lips arrogantly: "I'm doing this just in case."
"Okay, just by what you said, I'm going to advance my schedule tonight!"
He hugged Ji Hongluan and turned back to the room.
From afternoon to evening, Ji Hongluan was finally tortured to the point of begging for mercy again and again.
"General, I will never feed you that soup again."
"No, no, my body can't bear it. I can't continue."
She already regretted it. Why did she provoke Xiao Chen in such a short period of time?
He is what people call a eunuch, and his explosive power is not inferior to that of any strong man!
Xiao Chen caressed her fair cheek lovingly, kissed her and breathed heavily, then the pervert pounced on Ji Hongluan's face: "Are you coming tonight?"
"Not coming! Not coming!"
"Then the one who needs to make amends is you or me?"
Men have a damn desire to win.
Ji Hongluan said helplessly: "I can do it, right?"
She turned over and threw herself on Xiao Chen's chest, "Although I really don't want you to get involved with other women, I still have to remind you."
"You've been back for so long, and you really don't want to see them?"
Ji Hongluan is not a little woman, she was once a knight-errant.
She has always been broad-minded, and she also knows that although Xiao Chen was in Japan a few months ago, the princess and concubines in the harem did not reduce his worries by half.
Concubine Jing was often asked to get in touch with Xiao Chen through Sihai Trading Company to help him with business or write letters of condolence and concern.
Xiao Chen gently scratched the bridge of her nose: "The emperor is really not in a hurry, but the eunuch is."
"Don't worry. The day after I come back, I will have someone go to the palace to deliver a message."
"It's been very popular in recent days and it's not appropriate to have blatant interactions with them, so I asked them not to meet each other for the time being."
Ji Hongluan buried her head in her chest, "It turns out that I am too sentimental."
Xiao Chen really couldn't see through women, he was worried about her, and she was the one talking to himself now.
Sure enough, I still answered those words, and the woman's heart was so deep that it was hard to fathom.
Although he has not been in contact with Concubine Shu and the others for the time being, there is one person who has been back for so long, and he really should pay a visit.
Taking advantage of the darkness, Xiao Chen took the initiative to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to meet Zhang Dongyang.
"General Xiao, are you willing to come?"
Zhang Dongyang had someone prepare tea and snacks, and the two of them sat there without anyone else.
Xiao Chen chuckled and said, "So Prime Minister Zhang knew that I was coming?"
"You have to thank me twice for court matters, right?"
"Besides, you also know that I can't take the initiative to find you."
Because Chu Yanwu was indifferent to Da Qi's entry, Zhang Dongyang was quite dissatisfied with him.
Furthermore, when Chu Yanwu was recuperating and taking medicinal baths and ignoring government affairs, he had been handling important government affairs on his behalf.
Most things he does according to his own ideas are bound to touch the interests of selfish people like Chu Yanwu, and he has a lot of dissatisfaction in the shadow.
I guess Yanwu is finding fault with him now.
If at this time, the Prime Minister, who is under one person, brazenly goes to see General Xiao who is in the limelight, it will be difficult not to make people think too much.
"Well, I do want to apologize to you this time, but there is also another matter."
Xiao Chen was too lazy to talk nonsense with him.
Zhang Dongyang took advantage of the situation and answered: "I know, you want to know the current battle situation and Zhao Xifeng's behavior?"
"Yes, Zhao Xifeng, as a victorious general, has never suffered a defeat. He is a man of iron and steel. Even if he is defeated, he will never give in or admit defeat."
"But as far as I know, he gave up stationing in the border town and moved the people with him, causing the city to fall. This is not his style of doing things at all!"
Looking at Zhang Dongyang, he hummed softly: "After thinking about it, if he is sincere, then the cause of this matter may be that someone deliberately instigated it."
"In other words, everything is a plan to force me to come back!"
It was obvious that Zhang Dongyang's expression changed slightly when he finished speaking.
He also didn't expect that Xiao Chen could see the ins and outs of the whole matter so clearly.
He sighed softly, "As for this, I don't intend to hide it from you. General Zhao's actions were indeed directed by me."
"Your Majesty is worried about the self-respect of the military commanders who have enough troops, and he is also worried about the menacing attack of Da Qi. If the city is breached, his own safety will not be guaranteed, so he is unwilling to send troops easily."
"There are so many concerns that the atmosphere and prestige are even better, and people are panicking. It has caused a lot of dissatisfaction among the courtiers and the people."
"If this continues, Da Chu will be in danger!"
Xiao Chen snorted: "You are still honest, so you let Zhao Xifeng deliberately pretend to be defeated and put pressure on Chu Yanwu, so that he had to submit to me?"
"Indeed."
Zhang Dongyang stared straight at Xiao Chen, his expression firm and sincere: "General Xiao, although you never say that you are a good person, I believe that you are definitely not an evil person."
"You care about the people, and I'm afraid you don't want Da Qi cavalry to step into Da Chu Emperor Jin to massacre, plunder and harm innocent people."
"Today, the entire Daqi is in a state of chaos, and the dignity that the late emperor had when he was alive has long been gone."
"You are the only hope I can think of to save the situation!"
He suddenly stood up and bowed to Xiao Chen.
"Whether you think I am scheming or requesting, yes, I just hope that the general can do his best to solve the chef's crisis this time!"
Xiao Chen stretched out his hand to help him up.
"You have changed but not completely."
"Everyone knows how to show off his own fish, and take a broad look at the overall situation of the world."
"Now that I'm back, you will naturally do your best."
"But that's it for now. I also want to ask you a question."
The two people's eyes met, and Zhang Dongyang said frankly: "General Xiao, it doesn't hurt to ask."
"Under the current circumstances, how do you view today's world?"
When it comes to Chu Yanwu, Zhang Dongyang's eyes no longer have that kind of awe, replaced by endless disappointment.
"Time changes, things change and people change."
"I used to think that being a minister of others and being loyal to the emperor was worthy of my status. But now..."
He smiled bitterly: "The things I have experienced are enough to see through a person, and I finally understand the meaning of those warnings you gave me before."
"I am disappointed and heartbroken."
"From now on, the prime minister only sees the people and justice in the world, and there is no so-called king!"
