The phoenix pattern is surging

[Danfeng Capital City Linyang]

After Qu Lie and Chen Pei left, Jiang Jue was silent for a long time, and asked lazily: "Do you think he can be of great use?"

Li Ran curled his lips and said: "You have to be suspicious of people, and you have to use them. It all depends on how you manage them."

After finishing speaking, let Jiang Jue worry about it, and clapped his hands. After a while, he saw Xiao Liuzi coming in with his handkerchief twisted, and asked with a flattering expression, "Your Highness, are you in a hurry?"

Li Ran nodded and said, "How are things going?"

Little Six wiped the sweat from his temples with a handkerchief, and said, "Wait a little longer, it will be fine soon."

Jiang Jue listened to the conversation between the two of them, and asked in half astonishment, "Why don't you pass the food around when you're hungry?"

As he spoke, he made a gesture to call Ding Shun, but Li Ran waved his hand and said, "Don't bother, he can't get what I want to eat."

Jiang Jue was suspicious, and was immediately aroused, and asked curiously: "What is so mysterious, I want to see it."

Li Ran didn't answer, he just waved his hand to signal the little six to hurry up and get ready.

After a while, the kid went back and forth, with a piece of moon-white brocade on his wrist, a little longer than the handkerchief, holding a silver tray in his hand, inside the tray was a hot silver disc and a white jade cup. It was covered with a silver shell, and beside the silver shell was a knife and something like a fork, which looked strange.

The boy approached, first put the silver plate aside, took off the brocade handkerchief and spread it on the round table in front of Li Ran, and then hung down the other end, then put the silver plate on top, followed Li Ran's instructions to set up the knife and fork, and finally Put the white jade cup by his hand.

So, finally you're done.

Li Ran smiled and nodded, took a white jade pendant from his waist and threw it over, the little six managed to catch it, and was about to kneel down to thank him, when Li Ran moved his fingers indifferently, and said, "You're welcome, Well done, take your tip."

The pendant was made of high-quality mutton fat white jade, and it was a gift from Jiang Jue. It was extremely valuable, and Xiao Liuzi glanced at the emperor sitting beside him, with fear and hesitation on his face.

Jiang Jue didn't pay much attention, just looked at Li Ran with a smile and said, "Where did this trouble come from?"

Li Ran glanced at him contemptuously, and said, "Why do you ask so many questions? You don't understand some things even after they've been told!"

After finishing speaking, he shrugged his shoulders to express his helplessness.

Jiang Jue was not annoyed, he still smiled like a spring breeze, put one hand behind his waist, and leaned over to have a closer look.

As soon as the cover was opened, the smell of frying came out. Jiang Jue took a closer look and couldn't help laughing. It turned out to be a big piece of "meat" that hadn't been cut, and there were a few pieces of yellow fruit dotted around the silver plate. With a few green leaves, the top is dripped with juice, and the sweet fragrance of honey lingers in the nose.

Li Ran seemed very satisfied. He lowered his head and took a deep sniff, then raised his head and looked up at the sky with a sigh, and said to himself, "I'm beginning to believe that your old man is indeed everywhere."

After finishing speaking, without further delay, he started to eat with a knife in one hand and a fork in the other. Jiang Jue thought the way he ate was absolutely indecent. The steak here is quite authentic, but it’s also really expensive. A meal costs three people half a year’s food expenses. My mother couldn’t bear to eat it, so she didn’t go there. After the days got better, the old lady still refused, saying that Seya."

After finishing speaking, he shook his head with a broken smile, his expression full of emotion.

Jiang Jue was naturally happy to hear him talk about the "past events". Although he didn't know much about words like "French restaurant", "steak", and "food expenses" in his mouth, he could guess it by looking at his expression and tone of voice. After he finished speaking, he hugged his waist comfortingly, and said in relief: "The old man naturally has her consideration for doing this."

Li Ran nodded in agreement, and said: "Indeed, she said earlier that she would save money for me to ask for a wife. I have persuaded her many times, but her temper is not developed in a day or two, and she is more stubborn than anyone else." After finishing speaking, he chewed the steak with a smile, and said, "Thinking about it now, fortunately, the old man insisted, otherwise I would really have to drink the northwest wind..."

Jiang Jue listened in silence for a while, seeing Li Ran's expression was gloomy, reached out to wipe the corner of his mouth, and said softly: "The two of them are your family members, don't I and the children count?"

He looked unwilling, Li Ran was still immersed in his own world and depressed, but was suddenly pushed by Jiang Jue, and when he looked sideways, he saw that the other party was looking at him innocently and aggrieved, how funny that look was.He sighed with a smile, then cut a piece of "Phili" and stuffed it into Jiang Jue's mouth, saying, "Eat yours, why are you talking so much nonsense!"

Jiang Jue opened his mouth to swallow, frowned and chewed, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is this the delicacy you dreamed of since childhood?"

Judging by his expression, he seemed very disdainful.

Li Ran glanced at him coldly, cut another piece and stuffed it into his mouth. He was about to drink from the white jade cup when Jiang Jue snatched it away. After a while, he asked in amazement, "Grape juice?"

"What do you think it is?"

"Hehe, it's not the wine that's the best. Thinking about it, you're not willing to hurt our children."

After finishing speaking, he reached out and touched Li Ran's lower abdomen with a satisfied face. Li Ran ground his teeth and gave him an elbow.

Although this supper satisfied his cravings, Li Ran was so tormented that he couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

Seeing him tossing and turning, Jiang Jue sighed half helplessly and half funny, and asked in a low voice, "Are you full?"

"A bit."

"In this case, let's eat and drink, so that we won't be able to sleep with each other."

"Sleep in your bed! I'll go outside for a walk!."

"In the middle of the night, why are you leaving? I'm here to help you!"

After finishing speaking, there was a rustling sound from the couch, and a moment later there was a soft voice, which lasted until midnight.

Li Ran woke up early the next morning, and when he saw the bowl of beef soup on the table, he almost gritted his teeth with hatred.

[Xiping border city Juliang]

Su Mo closed the report in his hand, his eyes were full of smiles, Gong Huai'an saw that his face was happy, and asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, is there a happy report?"

Su Mo glanced at him lightly, and asked without answering, "Is there any news from the palace?"

He just asked casually, but Gong Huai'an was taken aback for a moment, and opened his mouth with lowered eyes, hesitant to speak. Su Mo knocked on the edge of the table, and said, "What? Is there something you are hiding from me?"

Gong Huaian hurriedly knelt down, and after much deliberation, he reported: "Your Majesty, news came from the palace yesterday, saying... say..."

It was rare for him to be so hesitant, Su Mo saw that his expression was different, rubbed his brows in puzzlement, and said impatiently: "Speak up if you have something to say, why hesitate?"

Gong Huai'an raised his eyes and glanced at him secretly, and said softly: "Return to Your Majesty, it was the noble concubine who brought the news that... Cui Ling... has... a body..."

The words became softer and softer, but Su Mo listened to them word for word. At the end, she was taken aback. Gong Huaian kowtowed and dared not look any more. The emperor just sat upright with a blank face, and there were too many things in his eyes that he dared not face up to.

After touching a cup of tea, Su Mo asked, "When will the news come?"

"Return to Your Majesty, it was yesterday."

"..."

"Your Majesty, do you want to stay or not?"

Su Mo was silent for a long time, and said in a low voice, "Keep it."

After saying this, there was no more sound, just staring at the white jade ring in his hand in a daze.

After a while, someone came from outside the door to report that the escaped spy had been captured, and Su Mo woke up after being called by Gong Huai'an, calmed down, and said in a deep voice, "Bring him in! "

After a while, two soldiers came in with an old man on their backs. Su Mo smiled slightly when he saw the person coming, and said, "Long time no see, Imperial Physician Ji."

Ji Wenren snorted coldly, with a disdainful look on his face, the emperor was not annoyed, he stared at him up and down, and said: "I can't imagine that I haven't seen you for more than a month, and you have become so thin? Tsk tsk, You must have suffered a lot during your escape, right?"

"Although there are many chasing troops in Xiping, they haven't been able to catch the ones who should be caught. The old man's life is so cheap, it's not worthy of His Majesty's mobilization of troops."

When he made a provocative statement, Gong Huaian immediately shouted: "Bold! Don't be rude!"

Su Mo raised his finger indifferently, signaling him to keep quiet, and then came out from behind the case, stood five steps away from Ji Wenren, and said with a smile, "I never thought that Jiang would be willing to expose such a thing for the sake of one person." It is a good pawn, since he has abandoned you, it is better for you to take refuge in me."

Although there was a smile on his face, his eyes were full of coldness.

Ji Wenren looked at him unmoved, and said: "The old man is my Beiye's man in life, and my Beiye's ghost in death. Now he has retired after he has completed his career, and he will live up to my Majesty's entrustment."

After he finished speaking, Su Mo clapped his hands and smiled.

"What a loyal and patriotic man! Admire! Admire!" He finished speaking, but seeing his face darken, he said sinisterly, "But it's too cheap to send you on your way like this, and it's a waste of your family name." Jiang's painstaking efforts? I want to see how loyal you are to Bei Ye?"

As he said that, he waved his hand to signal the two soldiers to take him down, and when he reached the door, he heard Ji Wenren say: "There is something important, I wonder if Your Majesty wants to hear it?"
