Early landing in the world of martial arts

The eunuch at the side, Xiao Mimi, lowered her head and said nothing, as if she was remembering a good thing many years ago.

The emperor raised his head and took a slight look at the other party's absent-minded look. He could only sigh, shook his head, and didn't continue talking.

"Why are you so impatient underground? It's better to go back to the mountains with me. There are no officials in the mountains who know how to deal with it."

Today, the cat demon was drawn as a charming woman, and she picked it up from the ground with a swaying figure, and put the memorial back on the emperor's desk, but the latter just gave him a cold look, without saying a word.

"You little evildoer, if you dare to fool the emperor to go to your poor ravine again, our family doesn't mind breaking two of your bones first."

The eunuch spoke at this time, he just pretended to be absent-minded because he didn't want to hear the emperor continue to whisper his troubles in his ear.

But this little cat demon didn't know how to flatter him, he had already warned him a few days ago, not to indoctrinate the idea of ​​seclusion in the emperor's ears, but today he dared to come here and chatter endlessly, could it be that he is no longer in his eyes?

"My father-in-law is already a rootless person, why is he still so angry, do you want to let the slave family put the fire away for you first?"

The cat demon laughed.

The old eunuch in front of him has been targeting it everywhere since the day he came to the imperial study, but he was also the one who caught it from the ravine.

The smile on the old eunuch's face never disappeared, but his hand moved suddenly, only to hear the cat demon in front of him kneel down on the ground with an ouch, and the bones in his hand were already folded.

"Enough is enough, I don't care about you if you mess around in the imperial study room on weekdays, but today I am very irritable. If there is more trouble, the two of you will be dragged out together to play 50 big boards each!"

The emperor sulked.

When the old eunuch heard this, he laughed, "This old slave is quite old, Your Majesty should not punish this old slave, let this little cat demon suffer."

When the latter heard this, he jumped up from the ground and covered his hand bones, "You are a charming girl today, why is your majesty so cruel?"

"Get out! Get out of here, both of you, to the imperial garden. Don't bother me here!"

The emperor said angrily.

When the latter two heard this, they thought that the emperor was really angry this time, and they didn't dare to talk anymore, so they quit the room and went to the imperial garden.

"My lord, you said that the emperor won't be really angry this time, right? I won't be able to enter the imperial study, and I will become a stray cat in the palace."

Loosening the hand bone that was just connected, the cat demon said.

The old eunuch walked beside him and said coldly, "Being a wild cat is better than being a dead cat. If you dare to talk nonsense in front of His Majesty in the future, don't blame the old servant for being ruthless."

"If my father-in-law knew about today, why did he arrest me back then, and now that he has bothered me, he might as well put me back in the deep mountains and old forests, and let me fend for myself."

Mao Yaojiao smiled.

Although the old eunuch just glanced at him casually just now, the latter felt a burst of fear from the bottom of his heart, but he still forced himself to smile.

This time, the old eunuch didn't continue to talk to him, but walked two quicker steps ahead on his own, the cat demon gritted his teeth, but still didn't choose to follow.

The two walked towards the imperial study one after the other, passing by many court ladies and eunuchs along the way, they just glanced at them slightly, saluted them, and ignored them.

Everyone knows that this old lady loses weight. She is a celebrity around the emperor and grew up with the emperor. Look for it in the corpse pit outside.

And the woman next to the old eunuch is very charming, she looks like she just came out of the imperial study, this is not something that these little eunuchs and maids should worry about, only the concubines and ladies in the palace should be paid attention to.

After all, men like to steal fish, taste wild flowers is also a special taste to come in, His Majesty is mostly troubled by government affairs, it is normal to want to find a way to vent his anger.

"Look at the eyes of those maids looking at me just now, do you have some envy? This is you ordinary people..."

Mao Yaojiao smiled, and gradually realized the joy of being in the form of a woman.

"Fortunately, they only took one look at you. If they dared to take another look, the old slave would have to dig out their eyes and give them a lot of insight."

said the old eunuch.

There are many eunuchs in the imperial palace who will attract the attention of all the empresses, and as the emperor, there will naturally be many empresses who want to win him over, but in his heart, he always only recognizes one empress...

"Why do you say that there is a cold palace next to the imperial garden? It's not in line with the system."

The cat demon said.

Looking at the big red palace wall surrounding the imperial garden, on the other side of the wall, it is said that it is a cold palace that no one cares about, but it is built here, which is a bit inexplicable.

"I suggested the emperor to repair it. The woman locked inside is a canary in a birdcage. She has a voice like a lark..."

A yearning smile appeared on the old eunuch's old face, which made the cat demon beside him get goosebumps all over his body. He couldn't imagine that the old eunuch in front of him, such a cold guy, still had a time of Huaichun.

"What kind of person is that woman who can make your father-in-law so fascinated?"

"She...she is a strange woman, a girl from a good family, but she just accidentally walked the wrong way and came to this deep palace, perhaps falling into the cold palace, which is the best destination for her in this life... He said that she likes to smell the fragrance of flowers and listen to the singing of birds, so I asked His Majesty the Emperor to build the cold palace here..."

The cat demon was a little curious, what kind of person this is.

"Let's go, Your Majesty said, let us come to the Imperial Garden, but we can't come in vain. Recently, some subordinates have presented a few packs of new tea. You go and taste it with me."

As the old eunuch said, he walked slowly to the gazebo, ready to make tea.

There were a few young eunuchs who had been waiting for a long time, and it seemed that the old eunuch had expected it.

Chapter 333

In the city of the Western Regions.

Jin Youde originally thought that this war would last at least several months before it could end.

But what he didn't expect was that only a few days after arriving here, the emperor announced that he would reconcile with the Western Regions.

For him, this was simply a surprise.

In this way, he could return to the capital earlier without having to suffer such a serious crime.

At the beginning, he promised that person to put people in the temple and wanted to do something, but now looking back, he can't wait to slap himself twice.

"Which one above the court is not a human spirit?"

"If you really show something, you want to fight for power with them, and then you won't be the target of public criticism and be kicked down by them?"

Jin Youde thought about the consequences of his efforts to become stronger, but he didn't dare to continue thinking about it.

At the beginning, he promised with all his mouth, and the ambition was ignited in his heart. It should be just bewitched by the atmosphere at that time. The other party seemed to have a kind of pressure, oppressing himself at any time, making himself accept his ideas.

Recalling the alien visitor, it was the first time that Jin Youde became wary of this group of outsiders from the bottom of his heart.

"Master Jin, why are you so absent-minded? Could it be that you feel a little idle after the war is settled?"

"How about I let the emperor send you to negotiate, and I can find something for you? What do you think?"

Hong Yuelian appeared behind him at some point, and said with a smile.

While talking, she also sat beside him.

However, these words startled Jin Youde.

"Master Hong, you must not make fun of me. During this period of time in Guanzhong here, life is like death. I can't eat enough, eat well, and sleep well. I feel thinner. It weighs a few kilograms, I'm afraid the family will feel distressed."

Jin Youde said bitterly.

It was really hard for him during this period of time, he was never used to the food in the border customs, and with his insatiable personality, he could bear to eat some, maybe he would only look like this when he was really hungry.

"It's really hard work, Mr. Jin. I'm used to eating big fish and meat in the capital on weekdays, and now I have to accompany a group of mud legs to eat chaffy vegetables in this pass."

Hong Yuelian smiled.

There is nothing he is not used to, since he was doomed to be unable to pamper him since he was a child.

Even if he later became a first-rank member.

"These soldiers guarding the border, are they really farmers? It's not that I just saw a child under the age of [-] kill the soldier from the Western Regions with his own hands."

"They are all just for living. In their eyes, the heads of soldiers from the Western Regions are similar to those of pigs and horses. They have nothing to do with human heads. They can be sold for money."

"Selling money? Where can these people's heads be sold for money? Isn't it possible to exchange some military exploits in the military camp at most? Even if all these military exploits are exchanged for winning money, it won't be much. At that time, it was glorious."

Jin has virtue.

"At first glance, my lord, you are used to leisure. You have never been in contact with border soldiers. Who said they are going to win for the army? They are sold to those generals who are gold-plated. A head can be exchanged for a penny, which is considered expensive. But now that the war is over, they need to take the money back to continue farming and be their mud legs."

Hong Yuelian smiled.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there are people with sophistication.

But people are always good at replacing what they don't need with something that maximizes their own interests.

Don't look at those mud-legged people who were born as peasants, but each of them has an unusual business acumen, turning the drudgery of guarding the border into a plan to make a fortune.

It's just that now that the war has stopped, their avenue to get rich seems to be cut off.

"It's good to stop. From now on, I will honestly live at home farming. It is more comfortable than anything else. It is better than killing enemies in the border and living with my head hanging on the waist of my trousers all day long."

Jin has virtue.

He also tasted the taste of poverty, but now that he is old, he feels that a peaceful life is more valuable than anything else.

Hong Yuelian nodded.

This is how the superiors think.

They are in the most comfortable living circle, and feel that life only needs to be peaceful, but they never thought that it is impossible to live in poverty.

Birth, old age, sickness and death are always a big deal for those mud legs.

The arrival of one person in the family, or the departure of one person, may determine the direction of the whole family.

Whether it will go downhill to become more and more prosperous, or whether the originally peaceful life will gradually collapse, for the future, all of this is unknown.

And for those mud-legged people, maybe killing people at the border and exchanging a head for a dime is much better than spending a lifetime in the fields and living in fear all day long.

"When does Lord Jin plan to return to the capital?"

"Since the emperor sent me down, I must follow His Majesty's instructions when I go back. If Your Majesty doesn't send me back to Beijing, maybe the rest of my life can only be guarded here."

Jin has virtue.

Although he said so in his mouth, he knew in his heart that if he wanted to go back to the capital, it might even happen tomorrow.

Hong Yuelian nodded, stood up, smiled at the latter, then turned and left, heading towards the top of the city wall.

If Jin Youde left this place soon, then he probably didn't have much time left. During this period of time, he got along well with the soldiers at the border, so he should say goodbye to them.

Jin Youde couldn't understand why the first-rank officials who were shocked by the situation above the court could live in such harmony with this group of border guards who lived at the bottom, and there were even signs of calling them brothers.

However, there always seemed to be a gap between the two, which comforted Jin Youde a little.

"Xiao Liuzi, after you accompany me back to the capital in two days, I must let you take a good look. The woman in the Fengyue Tower in the capital is the most graceful in the world."

Jin Youde laughed.

Running behind him was a little boy, who looked only in his early 20s.

The young man chuckled, and wiped the dust off his forehead with his hands.

"As long as my lord goes, I will go there. If my lord hadn't saved me some time ago, I'm afraid no one would know about it even if I died outside the city wall, let alone go to a big place like the capital to have a look."

"Look at your worthless appearance."

Jin Youde scolded with a smile.

However, this kid was really lucky at the beginning. He was shot by an arrow and fell to the bottom of the wall. No one noticed him. Passers-by thought he was asleep. He would really leave this world so quietly.

……

Chapter 334 The old monk

"There was nothing promising in the first place, but this time I came to the border, in fact, I was forced by my family to come here."

"After all, there is not much food in the family, and younger brothers and sisters have to go to school. At that time, if a strong man was selected from the village, he could get two stones of food."

Xiao Liuzi smiled, took out a big snow-white steamed bun from her bosom and stuffed it into her mouth.

Bite down, the face is full of happiness.

This big white steamed bun is not something everyone can have, it was specially left by Mr. Jin for himself.

He thought to himself that he was really lucky to meet such a good person in his life.

Although this may be just a simple question from this nobleman, it has completely changed the fate of this young man who should have died on the battlefield.

"Tell me, what are you planning to do all your life in this world? Is it interesting to spend your whole life in such a muddle without seeking to make progress?"

Seeing this, Jin Youde suddenly said with some emotion.

He suddenly remembered his former self, struggling desperately in the officialdom, wanting to go upstream.
