After the Disabled God of War Became My Concubine

Night falls.

Jiang Suizhou was busy in the Ministry of Rites, and did not return to the palace until it was completely dark.

He didn't forget about Xu Du, and went to Xu Du's courtyard as soon as he returned to the mansion.

Because he didn't know about the meeting in advance, Gu Changyun didn't come - this is exactly the purpose of Jiang Suizhou's ignoring the meeting. He needs to talk with Xu Du and Xu Du privately for some things.

Xu Du's courtyard had just prepared dinner at this time, when he saw Jiang Suizhou coming, Xu Du acted exceptionally calm, asked the serving maids to add a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and then drove them all out.

The servants retreated, leaving only the two of them.

Xu Du's residence is quite quiet, with bamboo shadows swaying outside the window and the fragrance of ink lingering in the room.There is still a game of chess on the table in front of the window, with an unsolved chess game on top.

Jiang Suizhou sat down at the table, looked at Xu Du, and saw Xu Du smiled faintly.

"My lord actually knows that on the [-]th day of every month, I have to hand over matters to my subordinates," he said. "The subordinates are not as clever as Changyun, and they are still thinking that if the master doesn't know, how should he meet you?"

He said it bluntly, clearly putting Jiang Suizhou's identity on the table.

Jiang Suizhou also disagreed with his hypocrisy and nonsense, relying on the lack of audio and video recording equipment in ancient times, he said bluntly: "There are many books in the study, I can get a clue or two from them, and know that I have something to do with you today."

Xu Du was stunned, as if he didn't expect him to be so straightforward.

"My subordinates have only seen the theory of soul seizure in the scriptures since they were young, but they never thought that this speculation was actually true." He said slowly.

Jiang Suizhou smiled lightly: "I don't want to come either, it's a coincidence, there is really no way."

Xu Du laughed.

"It's interesting. To see this anecdote, it's not in vain for someone to come to this world." He said.

He acted very open-minded and natural, Jiang Suizhou sized him up for a moment, and said: "So, I still don't know what you are planning."

Xu Du heard the words and asked, "Which aspect is the scheme the Lord mentioned?"

Jiang Suizhou said: "You already knew that although I became King Jing, I am not him. You all have your own purposes in being his servants. Now I know that Gu Changyun's family members are being coerced, so what about you?"

A bit of surprise appeared on Xu Du's face.

"My lord, did you even find out about this?" He asked.

Jiang Suizhou looked at him quietly.

After a while, Xu Du laughed and nodded.

"Changyun is indeed because of this. His parents died young, and he was dependent on his grandmother and younger sister. At that time, the Lord took a fancy to him, but he didn't want to get involved in the court disputes, so the Lord used some means." He said. "But I didn't expect that you are so smart that you can even see this."

"What about you?" Jiang Suizhou asked him.

Xu Du paused, then looked up at him with clear eyes.

"My subordinates were born in merchants, and have no way to become an official," he said. "However, his ambition is in the country, and his life's pursuit is nothing more than fame and fortune."

Jiang Suizhou knew that Jing Chao had just taken the imperial examination not long ago, and he had extremely strict requirements on the wealth and background of those who became officials.Within the five clothes, as long as there are merchants, opera singers, and prostitutes, they are not allowed to participate in the scientific examination.

Jiang Suizhou paused, and then asked: "So, you joined Prince Jing's command?"

Xu Du laughed a few times.

"A certain family name is unknown. Apart from His Royal Highness Prince Jing, who is in a difficult situation, there is no other way to find it." He said.

"Besides, even though a certain person wants to gain fame and fortune, he is not unscrupulous. If he joins Pang Shao's family, wouldn't he do something that will be infamous for thousands of years?"

What he said was candid.

Seeing his expression, Jiang Suizhou probably believed it.He pondered for a moment, then asked, "So, what are you going to use the money given to you on the fifteenth of every month?"

He knows very well that whether a person's words can be trusted depends on what he does.

Whether Xu Du is honest with him or not depends on these important matters.

He looked at Xu Du quietly, then saw him turn around, go to the hidden compartment on the bookshelf, take out an account book, return to the table, and hand it to Jiang Suizhou.

"My lord has saved money in the past few years and raised a group of dead soldiers," he said. "The number is not large, there are a total of ten or so. Because the dead soldiers need to be trained for many years before they can be used with confidence, so the master found his subordinates and handed over the matter of raising and training the dead soldiers to his subordinates."

Jiang Suizhou was a little surprised, and took the account calmly, and looked at it carefully.

The serial numbers and expenses of each dead man are clearly remembered, including the date, and there is a large detailed book every month.

Jiang Suizhou paused, and said: "So, you always go out to play every month, and you always go to the street to buy paper and pens, but I never let you report?"

Xu Du smiled and nodded: "My lord is really smart."

Jiang Suizhou read the account books quietly, while Xu Du waited by the side without urging him.After a long time, Jiang Suizhou put down the account book, took out the money he had prepared earlier, and handed it to Xu Du according to the amount in the account book.

This is to tell him with actions that he trusts him.

Xu Du stretched out his hand with a smile, and took the bank note.

"You did a great job," Jiang Suizhou said. "There are still many places where you can be used in the future."

Xu Du smiled lightly: "Your Majesty, just give orders."

Jiang Suizhou paused, and looked up at him: "But, have you thought about it, what will happen in the future?"

Xu Du said nothing, but tilted his head, motioning for him to continue.

Jiang Suizhou opened his mouth slowly.

"The change of rise and fall is the law of nature." He said. "If the life is exhausted and the sun is rising, how can you get the fame and fortune you want?"

When Xu Du heard this, he didn't speak for a long time.

After a long time, he laughed, his laughter was clear and clean.

"Everyone in the world believes that the northern and southern dynasties divided the river and governed. It is a foregone conclusion and will continue for a hundred years-this situation, even if there is still Huo Wujiu in the Northern Liang, cannot be changed. Why does the Lord think that the southern prosperity is exhausted? Woolen cloth?"

Jiang Suizhou asked back: "Why was Huo Wujiu captured?"

Xu Du replied: "A single army entered the enemy, and the reinforcements were cut off."

Jiang Suizhou continued: "So, what about the Nanjing court now?"

Xu Du paused for a moment, then smiled and said: "The lord is saying that Huo's defeat this time is due to the failure of his horse, and Jing Zhi's retreat is due to the decay of his foundation?"

Jiang Suizhou didn't say anything, and Quan Zuo acquiesced.

After the two faced each other silently for a while, Xu Du stood up and bowed deeply to Jiang Suizhou.

"In a difficult situation, the subordinates didn't have much hope at first, but let's see, every step is a last resort." He said. "But now, it is my subordinate's luck to meet the Ming Lord. Presumably the future will happen, the Lord has already planned, and the subordinate will definitely obey your orders and be your right-hand man."

Jiang Suizhou paused for a moment, speechless.

It's good for Xu Du to talk to him and to trust him.But the hat Xu Du put on him was too high, which made him feel a little uncertain for a while.

What's the future, what's his plan?

He just knew that in the near future, they would be taken over by Huo Wujiu.

-

There was silence in Anyin Hall.

After dinner time, the master never came back.

Meng Qianshan spun around anxiously, every time he turned around, he would sneak a glance at Huo Wujiu.

I saw Huo Wujiu sitting at the table quietly reading a book.But I don't know if it's Meng Qianshan's illusion, he always feels that it's been half an hour, and Mrs. Huo hasn't turned a single page of the book in her hand.

Meng Qianshan sent someone to ask.

After a while, a servant trotted all the way back, entered the main house, and ran up to Meng Qianshan, panting.

"Go back to Qianshan father-in-law, the prince has gone to Mrs. Xu's room." He said. "The servant girl in Mrs. Xu's courtyard just came to report, saying that the lord didn't give orders beforehand, and went straight to the mansion as soon as she returned to the mansion."

Whoops!How can this be good!

The young man reported it in the room, and Mrs. Huo was sitting next to her, so she could hear it clearly.Now, Meng Qianshan wanted to make up a lie to coax Mrs. Huo over, but he couldn't do it.

He quickly waved his hand and drove the boy out.

When the servant retreated, Meng Qianshan's face was filled with flattering smiles, he walked to Huo Wujiu's side, and told the maid next to him, "Why are you so ungrateful? The dishes are already cold, why don't you warm them up... ..."

He swallowed the words behind him.

Mrs. Huo, who was sitting there, put down her book, picked up her chopsticks without raising her eyes, and picked up a piece of cold vegetables.

He ate alone.

Meng Qianshan felt a little strange for a while.

It's as if...not just the servants in the room waiting for the prince to come back for dinner, this Mrs. Huo who usually ignores the prince is actually also waiting to have dinner with the prince.

At this time, Mrs. Huo was obviously... not very happy.

If this is the case, Meng Qianshan knows that the person who tied the bell must be untied.Mrs. Huo's air pressure is a bit low at the moment, and it's not something they can handle. The only way to coax this ancestor is to wait for the prince to come back from the meal.

Thinking of this, Meng Qianshan waited on Huo Wujiu until he finished his meal with trepidation.

Unexpectedly, after the meal was over, the prince never came back.

Until a long time later... Mrs. Xu's maid came.

"Grandpa Qianshan, the prince is resting at Mrs. Xu's place today."

The maid said so.

The author has something to say:

Jiang Suizhou: surprise!
