Chapter 564: Deadly Condiment
564.
Deadly condiment
All the soldiers were slightly stunned when they heard Li Pojun's words, and the generals and soldiers marched on foot together? It's not a joke, the right to match the official with the horse is deprived of it. But knowing that the military orders are like a mountain, the generals of the Shence Army are also obediently obeyed, Zhai Changsun was surprised and extremely admired, even the famous general Wu Qi, who sucked the pus for the soldiers in ancient times, has never done this, the generals riding horses are not only the special treatment of the generals, but also conducive to the command of the army.
Li Pojun probably guessed this, and said straight to Zhai Liang and the others: "When we arrive in Cangzhou, it is estimated that the horses should also arrive."
Zhai Liang and the others nodded when they heard this, they are horsemen, and they don't have horses, but they can't go into battle.
As a result, the 3,000-strong army was fully armed, wearing armor and wielding swords, and waded through mountains and rivers towards Cangzhou, Hebei Province.
Look at Yi County again, the day is dawn, the rooster crows as usual, although the residents of Yi County are suffering from the coming of the war, and their families are closed, but the meal cannot be delayed, and the smoke that rose as usual in the past is still rising as usual.
And Chen Yuanxuan also woke up early, touched the paper bag in his arms, and slept in a single night, washed and dined, was dressed properly, called his wife and son, and said: "Quickly pack your bags, only pack important things, gold and silver, everything is simple, go to the south gate and wait, I will come later." But if I do not return at noon, you will take the letter of my inkstone and hand it over to the rebels outside the city, and you will be able to live. Before noon, don't move the letter."
His wife and son responded with panicked faces, as if they felt that something was wrong, but Chen Yuanxuan flicked his sleeves and went out.
Came to the Assassin's Mansion, not out of Chen Yuanxuan's accident, Li Xiaochang was still sleeping, the entire Assassin's Mansion, as the huge political and administrative center of Yizhou, was silent at this time, not to mention that he had never seen the office officials, and there were not even a few slaves, because the slaves also went to sleep, and the Assassin's Mansion was reversed day and night, which was well known to the people of Yi County.
Chen Yuanxuan entered the Assassin's Mansion, and occasionally a few servants and subordinates met, and it was not surprising that he bowed and met, because Chen Sima was a close confidant of the prince, and he often went in and out of the Assassin's Mansion, and even the backyard was free to enter.
All the way to the backyard, at the gate of the courtyard met a maid touching a porcelain jar, Chen Yuanxuan's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward with his straight back hand and shouted: "Wait."
When the maid saw it, she saw that it was Lord Sima, and she also gently said a thousand blessings.
"What are you?" Chen Yuanxuan looked at the crockpot held by the maidservant and asked pretending to be puzzled.
The maid listened and said softly: "Back to Lord Sima, the prince is hungry and wants to drink this lamb soup, and the maid is going to send it to the prince."
The lamb soup is boiled with newborn lambs that have just been born for only a few dozen days, which shows Li Xiaochang's luxurious life.
Chen Yuanxuan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he secretly shouted for a good opportunity, his heart moved, and he said directly: "Come, I'll take it, you go in and compatriots, and say that I have something urgent to see the prince."
The maid was stunned when she heard this, but Chen Yuanxuan was slightly sweaty on her forehead, and the hands in her sleeve robe were actually full of sweat.
Seeing that Master Sima was furious, the maid dared not comply, and hurriedly handed the porcelain jar to Chen Yuanxuan, Chen Yuanxuan held the white porcelain jar, his expression was also slightly panicked, and even a little hesitant and struggling, but only for a while, Chen Yuanxuan gritted his teeth and determined.
Seeing that there was no one around, and the guards were also in the courtyard, Chen Yuanxuan walked to the corner, put down the porcelain jar, took out the paper bag and opened it, and poured the powder into the jar, and stuffed the paper bag into his arms, and shook the crockpot a few times.
At this moment, the maid suddenly said behind her: "My lord, what are you doing here?" ”
"Ah, nothing". Chen Yuanxuan, an old fox in officialdom, was a little flustered in the face of a servant girl who was ignorant of the world at this time.
"Oh, the prince called you in, my lord, please." The servant said honestly. He said again: "My lord, give the soup can to the maid."
"No, I'll send it to the prince personally, you can go yourself." Chen Yuanxuan waved his hand and said straight, at this moment he recovered, he would not be a good color for a servant.
Seeing this, the maid had to retreat honestly, and Chen Yuanxuan went in with a crockpot.
Outside a splendid room with dragons and phoenixes, Chen Yuanxuan stretched out his head and shouted: "Lord, the lower official Chen Yuanxuan asks to see."
A maid with dark eyes opened the door and said, "The prince said, please come in."
Looking at the porcelain jar held by Chen Yuanxuan again, there was a slight difference.
Chen Yuanxuan went in with a clay pot, and when he entered, he smelled a smell of millet and couldn't help but feel a chill.
When I went in, I saw Li Xiaochang dozing off and lying on the bed, his eyes were squinting, his eye circles were black and black, his eye bags were bruised, and he looked like he was overindulgent.
"Lord Wang, this is your sheep soup, and the lower official brought it to you." Chen Yuanxuan stepped forward with a smile and said.
At this moment, Chen Yuanxuan was smiling on his face, and he was mmp in his heart, thinking that he Chen Yuanxuan was also from a family, and he was full of poetry and books, and the dignified court from Shangzhou Sima under the five grades was serving soup and food to people at the moment, which was really a shame.
Li Xiaochang slowly opened his eyes after hearing this, looked at Chen Yuanxuan with a slight difference, straightened up and looked at Chen Yuanxuan Shunfeng: "Ah, how can this be made, how can Chen Gong serve soup and rice?" ”
urged the maid on the side to take the porcelain jar.
Chen Yuanxuan listened to the smile on his face, and said bluntly: "The prince has worked hard for the great cause, and it is very hard, and it is okay for the lower officials to lead the horse and fall into the stirrups, not to mention the soup and rice."
Li Xiaochang was overjoyed when he heard this, stretched his waist, got up, and looked at Chen Yuanxuan with a smile on his face, "Chen Gong has won the award, come on, Chen Gong and this king use the soup together, this lamb soup is very tender, come, take a bowl, pour a bowl to Chen Gong."
When Chen Yuanxuan heard this, he didn't have the honor and emotion of the banquet in the lord's bedroom, but more panicked, drinking that soup, he didn't think it was fateful.
Immediately waved his hand and said: "Lord, the lower official suffered a cool breeze yesterday, and at this time he felt unwell in his abdomen, and the doctor instructed him not to eat meat, and the prince forgave his sins."
Li Xiaochang didn't doubt him when he heard it, but simply instructed: "Then Chen Gong should take care of himself." After that, he picked up the jade bowl and drank it like a starving ghost.
Chen Yuanxuan frowned when he saw it, looked at the two maids on the side, and said straightly: "You go down, I have something important to discuss with the prince."
The two personal maids were stunned for a moment, and looked at Li Xiaochang, Li Xiaochang smiled, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Something important? This king knew that Chen Gong must have something important to do when he came early."
With that, he waved his hand, and the two maids went down.
"Chen Gong, please say, right? But what's the secret? Li Xiaochang asked curiously.
