After the Fairy Disappeared

  Chapter 123 The chess piece left by the old emperor

   At this time, the wine is warmed up, and two pinches of shredded **** are added, and the aroma is overwhelming.

  He Chunhua's chef cut off a piece of meat weighing about five catties from the fish body, spread various seasonings on it, and put it on the fire to roast. Soon, the aroma of oil and pepper was forced out by the flames.

  Lu Yao said with a smile: "I would also like to ask Mr. He what special way to eat it. It turns out that it is roasted over fire."

   "The guy has nothing to do, so he can only use the sauce." While turning the fish, the cook brushed the sauce on the fish every ten times. When the fish is cooked through, it also turns into a beautiful red sauce color.

  The fish was served in front of the two bosses, and when Lu Yao tasted it, it turned out to be roasted and double-flavored. A piece of fish as big as his fist was divided into two halves. The skin of one half of the fish was burnt and crispy and melted in the mouth. The thick fat under the skin soaked into the meat, relieving the astringent mouth of the large fish; while the other half of the fish was like With an unknown sauce, the salty aroma has a bit of fruity sweetness, and even a bit of sourness, which is very greasy.

   "Yes, yes." Lu Yao ate a mouthful of fish and drank a mouthful of wine, and praised with a thumbs up.

   "It's too famous." He Chunhua also took a piece of fish into the mouth, "When my family was the most prosperous, it was never included in the Jiuqing, so it can't be called Zhongming Dingshi!"

   "The holy master has taken stock of Da Yuan's officialdom, and he has named Mr. He." Lu Yao chuckled, "I said you are a talent."

  He Chunhua raised his eyebrows. The "Holy Master" the other party mentioned, of course, refers to Hong Xiangqian, the leader of the rebel army. It is said that this person has great supernatural powers, even the dead can be revived, and even used all kinds of supernatural powers on the battlefield—

   This last point is highly unusual. As we all know, the royal army can use Yuanli when fighting, so as to form a powerful suppression effect on supernatural powers and spells. Throughout the ages, countless supernatural beings have been besieged to death by the government and army.

  But Hong Xiangqian can use supernatural powers on the battlefield, and the effectiveness will not be weakened. This is because he has established himself as a political power, and he can also control and deploy Yuanli.

   This is probably the reason why Yuan Wangting was in such a hurry to kill the rebels: if this scourge is not eliminated, the second regime within Da Yuan will grow stronger.

Hong Xiangqian was dead, Lu Yao, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, and who dared to disturb the palace of the king of hell, still respected him in his speech; just looking at this, He Chunhua knew that Hong Xiangqian was not simple, not just He is a villain and a liar declared by the royal court, but as an official of the royal court, he doesn't want to show his admiration for him.

"I heard that the He family suffered a catastrophe, and you were the only one who survived, but you were demoted to Qiansong County by the old faint king. You were only in your early ten years old at that time? Well, you went to Qiansong County only as a postman, Ordinary people have probably passed this life. You can seize the opportunity of foreign enemies to invade, and take advantage of the desert behind... what is that desert called?"

   "Panlong."

"Oh yes, the Panlong Desert was windy and sandy, and it was impassable for several months. At that time, the city was still ruled by the Antons. You gathered people in the street and killed the envoys of the Antons. It probably scared the people in the city. Right? Why not kill you?"

"The Anton people have occupied Heishui City for many years, and Yuan Kingdom has never robbed it. The Anton people think that our country is weak, and only supported a few compradors to manage Heishui City." He Chunhua said lightly, "Kill these compradors together, Use the sandstorm season to deal with the remaining Antonians in the city. By the end of the sandstorm season, Blackwater City has been successfully recovered."

  Lu Yao slapped the table and laughed loudly: "Okay, have a good time. Did the governor of Jinzhou reward you heavily?"

"No." He Chunhua took a mouthful of fish meat, "I was arrested and sent to prison. I was given 30 lashes as soon as I entered the cell. The charge was to assassinate people from friendly countries and provoke border wars. Fortunately, the prison guards sympathized with me. A little medicine came. The next day, half of the people in the city came to petition, and the officials were afraid of causing trouble, so they let me go."

"I told the governor of Jinzhou that the people of Anton would not take the opportunity to retaliate. He didn't believe it. But Heishui City was at peace for two years, and it was not until the third year that Anton made a comeback. The governor of Jinzhou was unable to deal with it. Someone advised him, Whoever caused the trouble will solve it, and this pushed me out."

  Lu Yao nodded: "You beat back the Antonians."

   "Three times. They didn't attack again after that." He Chunhua said, "The governor of Jinzhou took the credit for himself, but my deeds have spread to the capital, and the king knows about it, so he promoted me exceptionally."

  Lu Yaoqi said: "How do you know that after killing the special envoy, the Anton people will swallow their anger?"

   "In the last year I was postmaster, I heard a businessman on Hongya Road say that the country was in turmoil after the death of King Anton."

   "That's it? Is there insufficient evidence?"

He Chunhua smiled slightly: "Prince Anton's eldest son died young, and the second and fourth sons have been fighting for power. The second son is fierce, and the fourth son is scheming. No one can kill the other in a short period of time, so the country is in turmoil. Since this is the case, their I'm afraid the battle will be delayed, and we can't manage such insignificant places as Gu Hongya Road and Heishui City for the time being."

  Lu Yao stroked his chin and said, "How did you win the fight?"

"The Anton royal family fought in chaos, and the last four sons won. But the country has been weak for many years, and now it is even more decadent. Sending people to capture Heishui City is just a shame. They can't take it back after attacking three times, so they stopped fighting." He Chunhua smiled slightly, "Now, An Dong Kingdom has a very close relationship with us."

   "No wonder the holy master said that if there were people like you in Yuanguo, the pace of the rebel army going north would not be so smooth."

  He Chunhua was slightly moved.

  This is a very high evaluation, but at the same time, I underestimate Da Yuan's civil and military skills.

   "Your family has suffered unjust injustice, and you have made many achievements in the borderlands and demonstrated your talents. Why hasn't the royal court reused you?"

  He Chunhua smiled wryly. This question is not easy to answer.

"The holy master mentioned it at the time. This is a chess piece left by the old emperor to his successor, a useful chess piece." Lu Yao said with a smile, "On the one hand, I will press you in Qiansong County and continue to sharpen your spirit. On the one hand, leave you for the next emperor to reuse, so that you can be grateful to the monarch who promoted you, and you can devote yourself to him. After all, it was his father who killed your whole family, and he is the one who made you stand up. Unfortunately, the current emperor is a You are a big idiot, let down the gift that the old man gave him before he died."

   "Well, is there any truth to what the saint said?"

  He Chunhua lowered his eyes and remained silent for a while before he said: "General Lu is wronged on my behalf, He is grateful."

   "This kind of emperor, why do you still sacrifice your life for him?" Lu Yao chuckled, "Even Dong Haoming, who has worked for his family for many years, has turned against him. Do you still want to make up for it?"

"There has never been a chance to set things right." He Chunhua asked without waiting for Lu Yao's rebuttal, "The Great Sima attempted to rebel in the capital, but now he is retreating to Wuzhou. The city is strong and the food is sufficient there. It can be seen that Da Sima has long been prepared. If it were General Lu, how would you attack?"
