Chapter 23: Father!
Xiao Wu found that his demand for food had dropped significantly, especially after absorbing a large amount of spiritual energy last night, and he didn't feel particularly eager to eat.
This is different from hunger, which is a feedback from the digestive system, and the reason why you don't want to eat is because your body is nourished by the aura and doesn't feel the need for it at all.
At this time, although the meal was still "a good mouth", the plate was empty at the end, but I felt that the taste was not as hungry as before.
Now, breakfast has become a way for the Xiao family to communicate their feelings, Xiao Wu will definitely come to accompany Zhang Lanying to dinner, and Xiao Zicheng will talk to Xiao Wu about the court at breakfast.
It is said that Xiao Wu is now a martial artist of the three products, although the trilateral general system belongs to the foreign general, but since he is in Beijing, he has to go to the court. It's just that from the emperor to the minister, no one wants him to go to court, so he pretends not to know, and he continues to live his free life.
At breakfast today, Xiao Zicheng said, "Five days later, I will give you a prince's attendant, and you should prepare first." ”
"What is that for?" Xiao Wu said vaguely.
Xiao Zicheng shook his head helplessly, how could this son be a little out of shape, "The waiter is to give a lecture to the prince." Taifu is the emperor's teacher, the prince's young master is the prince's teacher, and the waiter is the prince's assistant officer. ”
Xiao Wu nodded, he didn't care much about these things, and he couldn't figure it out. But he understands one thing, that is, he will have to teach the prince in the future. But what can I teach?
Xiao Zicheng smiled and said, "Do you really need you to give a lecture?
Xiao Wu shrank his head, "There are a lot of words I don't know." ”
"Huh. Xiao Zicheng was also a little embarrassed, "So, the emperor wanted you to be the prince's companion before, but now that you have an official position, it is definitely not appropriate to be a companion again." Letting you be the prince's chamberlain is to tell you that you are a member of the East Palace from now on. ”
Xiao Wu nodded, I really don't understand these scheming things.
Xiao Zicheng took out another bill and handed it to Xiao Wu, and said with a smile, "Wu'er, look." ”
Xiao Wu took it, but he was ecstatic, "The medicinal materials are all ready!"
Xiao Zicheng nodded, "I used some means for my father, some of which were from the emperor's inner treasury, but they were rewarded by His Majesty." ”
Xiao Wu obviously felt that Zhang Lanying's face was a little sad, but he looked at Xiao Zicheng and seemed to be a little relieved.
Xiao Zicheng took out another box, "Here are a hundred spirit stones given by His Majesty, but it is said that if there is a war in the future, there will be spirit stones on the Taizu Golden Immortal Armor." ”
The box was opened, but I saw colorful spirit stones placed in it, and it was full of aura for a while. Xiao Wu frowned, this spirit stone was only one-third the size of the armor spirit stone, and the aura was much weaker. Xiao Wu knew that there were already two spirit stones of the same size as before on the Taizu Golden Immortal Armor, and the hundred pieces here must be far from the same.
Xiao Zicheng straightened his court clothes, walked in front of the door and smiled, "I went to the court for my father, you and your mother eat slowly." Then he turned and left.
Xiao Wu looked a little stunned, what is wrong with his father? It seems that he has let go of a lot, and he seems to have taken on a lot.
saw Zhang Lanying's eyes with tears. She took Xiao Wu's hand and stopped talking several times.
Xiao Wu said slowly, "Mother, it's my father's business. ”
Zhang Lanying nodded, "You kid is smart, your father won't let me say it." ”
She pursed her lips, sighed and said, "Your father transferred his own cronies into Beijing and entered your Generalissimo Shangjun's personal guard. She sighed again, "Nine border military defense, my Xiao family only has the border towns in the southwest and Chu State, and they are still in their hands." Of the five battalions of the Beijing Army, there is only one battalion left in my Xiao family, and there are 5,000 people in the army of the generalissimo of the new Shang Army. This is all the military power left by my Xiao family. ”
Xiao Wu stood up suddenly. The world here is different from the feudal dynasties of the earth. Once, Xiao Zicheng said that most of the military power was in the hands of the Xiao family, but now there is not much left. Although the power is still unmatched for a while, it is no longer comparable compared to before, especially compared to the royal family.
"Why did my father give up so much?" Xiao Wu said slowly. He was moved in his heart, and there was some confusion.
Zhang Lanying smiled, her smile was extremely loving, she took Xiao Wu's hand, "Your father said, our son will be a big man who will enter the Immortal Family Avenue in the future! This mundane everything can be half beneficial to my Wu'er, then it is good! He Tu is a million military power, and he is bound by this glory and wealth." In this world, can you deserve half a spirit stone?"
Xiao Wu was shocked! When he was going to get married and buy a house, his father almost sold his house. At that time, my father said, "I've worked hard all my life, isn't it for my son? If my son doesn't have a house, I'm not happy to live here." ”
He once again felt the unreserved love of his parents, the love through and through, and the love was desperate. Xiao Wu didn't say much, he threw himself into his mother's arms, if you talk about real age, Zhang Lanying is only about ten years older than him, but at this moment he really feels his mother's love.
He still wanted to hug his father like this, but he knew that his father would not allow it, the father here, the man who was also called Xiao Zicheng but was in power, he lived the same life as his father on the earth, the same loneliness, the same desperate.
Xiao Wu's face became cold, "Is that all?"
Zhang Lanying pondered for a moment and said, "You can ask your father tomorrow." The Heavenly Family is ruthless, although my Xiao family has dedicated it for generations, but in fact they are just on guard every day. Your father," Zhang Lanying said slowly, "he will never make a loss-making deal." ”
Xiao Wu nodded, said goodbye to his mother, and returned to his courtyard.
Quan Gon was shouted by him, and took a few other family members to find Xiao Fang to get medicinal herbs.
The herbs, large and small, were placed all over the ground in the small courtyard. According to Danfang's requirements, Xiao Wu asked for a lot of equipment. Xiao Wu tinkered with the sun alone, he looked up at the sky, "It's too difficult!" "More than a hundred flavored medicines, this one has to be ground into powder, the other has to be boiled in water for half an hour and then mashed, and the other has to be pre-adjusted with a drug in advance...... What to do?
Quan Gon looked at his young master from the side, he was a little dizzy, at first Xiao Wu asked him to help, and then rushed to the side, he really couldn't help and added to the chaos.
"Young master, should we find a few doctors?"
Xiao Wu waved his hand, "Young Master, what should I do if I learn this secret recipe by them?"
Quan Gon scratched his head, "Young Master, there are so many medicinal herbs, can you remember them yourself?"
Xiao Wu shook his head, but those doctors are all professionals, maybe they will remember it?
Quan Gon scratched his head again, "Young Master, you can operate a few key steps, like this step of boiling the heart grass, you can let others do it!"
Xiao Wu looked up at Quan Gon, his eyes were shining, and Quan Gon was a little scared.
"Hahaha, hahahaha!" Xiao Wu stood up and laughed, "Quan Gon, you are a talent~!"
