Chapter 40 Disarmed and Returned to the Field [End of Text]
Three days later.
"General, have you considered it?" Shen He asked loudly outside Xie San's small courtyard. "His Majesty's patience is not endless."
No one in the courtyard answered.
After a while, I saw smoke rising from the kitchen chimney.
Zhao Li was impatient to stay outside, and wanted to get angry, when he heard a "creak—" the firewood door had opened, Xie San was wearing an apron, wiped his hands and knelt down, kowtowed, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Mr. Shen, it is now It's noon, why don't you come in and have a light meal?"
Zhao Li wanted to refuse angrily, but the faint scent coming from inside was very attractive, like stewed elbow, or lion's head.The little emperor who lived in the open air for a whole month couldn't stand it anymore.
Shen He saw clearly behind him, and said: "That's why I'm bothering you."
Xie San laughed: "You're welcome."
Xie San turned sideways to let the two of them enter the room.
In the main room, Xu Luyao was setting out two pots of vegetables, the steaming heat made the early cold air in the frontier seem extraordinarily warm.Zhao Li, who was about to get angry when he saw Xu Luyao, couldn't say much.
Several people sat down and ate and played with a table of dishes.
Xie San took out a jug of wine, poured a bowl, and knelt down to the emperor with a puff.
"Ah San, you—"
"I beg Your Majesty to drink this bowl of wine, and let Jie San go." He said.
Zhao Li's face turned cold instantly: "Say it again."
Xie San put the wine on the table, kowtowed respectfully to Zhao Li, bowed his head and said: "Since the grass people died in vain, their health has been worse than before, and because their hearts are ashamed, they can no longer fight for your majesty. Please. I also ask His Majesty to see how loyal Xie San has been to you all these years. Let the grassroots settle down here."
Zhao Li laughed angrily: "Okay, very good. You are quite proficient in using idioms."
Xie San replied seriously: "Your Majesty praised you."
Zhao Li slapped the table with a "bang": "I won't allow it!"
Xie San raised his head and said, "I know His Majesty won't agree...but..."
Xu Luyao had already taken out the white jade tiger talisman from his bosom, and when Zhao Li saw it, his eyes lit up: "Xiao Yanyang's tiger talisman!" He raised his hand to grab it.
"Hey! Wait a minute, Your Majesty." Xie San hurriedly blocked Xu Luyao behind him.
Zhao Li looked at him.
Xie San smiled and said: "This tiger talisman...was sent by Xiao Shuai a few days ago. He said that His Majesty will be looking for it urgently. If His Majesty wants it, he must promise a few things. I won't regret it."
Zhao Li frowned and looked at him. After a long time, he whispered like a strong man cut off his wrist: "... Xie Lianyun, you are heartless. I promise you."
Xie San smiled.
His eyes were flickering, with unprecedented sadness, but he continued: "Your Majesty, the value of this tiger talisman is probably more than that."
"What do you want?"
Xie Sandao: "The first thing is that within three years, no troops can be sent to attack the Khitan Kingdom."
Zhao Li clenched his fists and frowned at him: "You are so brave to meddle in my affairs."
"Your Majesty, I lived for Li Ming." Xie San shouted out his grievances, "Do you agree?"
Zhao Li thought for a while, if he got the tiger talisman, he would be able to conquer the small Khitan country in one fell swoop in three years. He nodded: "I promise you."
Xie San said again: "The second thing...is to trouble Your Majesty to exempt Qingliang Village from taxes for three years."
"Such a small matter...I promise you."
Xie San laughed, took Xu Luyao's hand, squeezed it, and noticed that Xu Luyao's palm was covered with sweat, winked at him, and then said softly: "The third thing, of course, is to ask Your Majesty Let the two of us stay in this cool village, disarm and return to the fields, and enjoy ourselves happily."
Zhao Li looked at him for a long time.
Suddenly stood up, grabbed the jade pendant, turned around and walked out of Jie San's room with a flick of his sleeves.
Shen He clasped his fists and said "Treasure", then followed the emperor and left.
The two left Qingliang Village on foot.
There is no turning back here.
Xie San bowed down and kowtowed, and never got up for a long time.
Xu Luyao stepped forward to help, but saw that Sanyi looked relieved, hugged him into his arms, and kissed his forehead.
"Ayao, I am so happy to meet you."
he whispered.
Xu Luyao only felt sore eyes, and replied: "Me too."
After a while, Xu Luyao asked: "Why did you give such a precious thing Xiao Shuai gave you to the little emperor?"
Xie San laughed "puchi": "Because although it is a priceless treasure, it is worth a lot of money. Some people are rare, and some people think it is worthless."
Xu Luyao became curious: "What the hell is that?"
Xie San blinked: "Guess?"
Xu Luyao: "..."
The little emperor didn't need to guess, he smashed the jade pendant mercilessly when he left Qingliang Village, inside was a piece of parchment with a map drawn with bamboo charcoal.Looking at the label, there is a secret in the palace.
The little emperor brought Shen He back to the palace in a hurry for more than a month. He didn't care about grooming and tidying up, so he ordered people to copy the palace upside down according to the map, and almost knocked off the roofs of the palaces.
Finally, an ebony box was found on the roof beams of the main hall.
He couldn't wait to open the box——
Inside are a few crude pictures drawn on straw paper.
Zhao Li was dumbfounded.
I turned it over several times, but I didn't see any tricks.
But I saw a line of small characters on the last painting: "Zhao Yong gave the sun."
The first emperor's name was Yong, this is clearly a love letter from the first emperor to Xiao Yanyang!
Zhao Li was furious.
"Xie Lianyun! I'm not finished with you!"
The sound of cursing lingered around the beam for three days without a break.
The former general in the remote village in the frontier only felt numbness in his ears and sneezed more than two dozen times.
"Ayao..."
"Ok?"
"I have a cold."
"How about some ginger soup?"
"Ginger soup is useless." Someone cheated.
"Then I'll go to Doctor Wang..." Ah Yao was confused.
"Looking for him, are you trying to murder your husband?" Someone broke out in a cold sweat.
"What should I do?"
"Give me a hug." Someone continued to cheat.
after awhile……
Ah Yao suddenly asked: "Did you have an affair with the little emperor before?"
"Huh?" Xie San was taken aback. "Your reflection arc is so long, isn't it..."
"That's it?" Ah Yao narrowed his eyes.
"Uh...no, no, absolutely—" followed by a scream, "Ah! Ah Yao, please spare me! It hurts! Those are scissors! That's a kitchen knife! Don't use that! That's a brick—"
When the forest runs out of water, there is a mountain, and the mountain has a small mouth, as if there is light.
After walking for dozens of steps, he suddenly became enlightened.
The land is flat, the houses are just like, there is a genus of fertile fields and beautiful ponds.
The traffic on the rice paddies, the chicken and the dog hear each other.
With yellow hair hanging down, he is happy and happy.
