Chapter 53
A man in armor strode in. He appeared to be in his twenties, with curly hair, sword-shaped eyebrows flying slantedly, starry eyes glaring, his outline was as sharp as a knife, and his thin lips were pursed into a line.
Seeing Jing Yue, the man snorted coldly, his face was not very good-looking, he knelt down on one knee, raised his fist symbolically, and said, "Qi Wuji, the humble Governor of Liaodong, pays homage to His Royal Highness King An."
Jing Yue's hands were still around Lu Xun's waist. Seeing this, he raised his eyebrows. He let go of Lu Xun, stretched out his hand and put the wooden chair on the ground, then sat down with his robes lifted, and looked down at him, "What are you doing to me, my lord?" have opinions?"
This question was very straightforward, Qi Wuji, who had a calm face, was stunned for a moment, then pursed his lips and said: "No."
It was against his will to say no, this morning he was training soldiers on the school grounds, and Yuan Zhifu transferred most of the Liaodong soldiers away with a token, saying that he was going to sweep the courtyard for King An, and he himself was told to change into the court uniform. See you at the restaurant.
The soldiers were supposed to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but now they have to waste their precious training time to meet a courtier who is in power and corruption, he Qi Wuji is not willing.
"No?" Jing Yue nodded with his finger on the armrest, and he slowly repeated Qi Wuji's words, as if savoring a plate of delicacies.
The tavern fell into silence, and suddenly, Jing Yue patted the chair and got up, raised her foot and kicked Qi Wuji's chest fiercely!
This kick used internal strength, Qi Wuji fell over on his back, rolled out for three or four steps, the blood in his chest surged, and blood spurted out when he opened his mouth.
Jing Yue stood with his hands behind his back. He looked down at Qi Wuji, and said coldly, "If you are angry with this king, just say it. Who will you show your face when you come to see me? I am the Governor of Liaodong in the Chu Dynasty, who made great contributions in fighting against Dongying." Is this what Qi Wuji, the 'Sura Saber' looks like?"
Qi Wuzhi couldn't help coughing up bloody foam. With a hoarse voice, he looked at Jing Yue with resentment in his eyes, and hissed, "Erlang of Liaodong took his life to guard the east customs for the Chu Dynasty, but the household department didn't even have 50 taels of silver. You can’t afford it, the army’s pay and food are in arrears every year, but the battles have to be fought every year, and now it’s almost autumn, and the soldiers don’t even have winter clothes, but you eat wine and have fun all day long, spend money like dirt, and do all the crimes.”
The more he talked, the more angry he became. He listed Jing Yue's "crimes" one by one, and then directly scolded him for being unkind and unrighteous.
The accompanying guards were ashen-faced, several lieutenants stepped forward to try to persuade Qi Wuji, but he swung his arms away.
Lu Xun served tea and listened with a calm expression on his face.
In the book, Qi Wuzhi is a talented general who started to lead troops at the age of 13. At the age of 15, he defeated the people of Dongying in the "First Battle of Kaibo". At the age of 23, he was officially named governor, and he was in charge of the army of the eight states of Liaodong.
He has excellent talent in leading the army to fight, but he knows nothing about being an official. He is stubborn and reckless, and offended many civil officials. Wuzhikong was full of enthusiasm for serving the country, but he had nowhere to display it, and finally died of depression.
Jingyue kicked it well. For Qi Wuzhi's overly upright temperament, don't use the tricks of playing autumn in the officialdom, just be straightforward, and untie the entangled grievances, he will be the most effective go-getter under his command .
"The Liaodong Army's military pay and food are directly supplied by the eight prefectures of Liaodong. You don't ask the magistrate of Tianfu to ask for it. You go to the Ministry of Households to yell. You have overstepped so many levels. This king has not punished you. You should show me first crime?"
Seeing that Jingyue didn't fly into a rage, he sat back on the chair, tidied his sleeves slowly, and said, "You said that this king is drunk and rich, and goes to and from brothels and casinos. This king spends his own salary and doesn't touch a cent of the treasury." A little bit, moreover, love and pleasure are things you love and I wish, and this king did not force her into prostitution, so why do you accuse me? In your heart, what is the standard for judging right from wrong?"
"You said that the king was in power and treason," Jing Yue sneered, he took off the black jade finger, pinched it with the thumb of his index finger, and said: "The late emperor was very ill, so he summoned Tuo Gu's minister in front of the couch, and put this black jade finger on himself. This king pointed out that this king was ordered by the late emperor to take care of the country, how does this king exercise power? Why do you say treason?"
After saying these words, the resentment on Qi Wuji's face has almost faded, he blushed, his lips moved, his eyes were still stubborn, he hesitated for a long time, but he couldn't even finish a sentence.
In the end, Qi Wuji fell to his knees and kowtowed heavily to Jingyue.
The general does not need to kneel down and salute.
This is a special gift from the founding emperor of this dynasty to generals.
The Chu Dynasty staggered forward for 300 years, but Shura Dao Qi Wuji bowed down to King An in a small tavern, which was a great shock to everyone.
The accompanying guards were stunned, and after two or three seconds of silence, they also fell to their knees.
The sound of armor rubbing sounded in the tavern, like some kind of solemn oath.
Lu Xun didn't expect Qi Wuji to make such a big gift, his eyelids twitched, almost drinking his tea, he turned his head to look at Jing Yue.
Jing Yue was calm and relaxed, and she didn't have the consciousness of "becoming a good boy when you get a bargain". Lu Xun twitched the corners of his mouth, and only heard Jing Yue say: "Get up, there are too many people kneeling on my king, you generals are kneeling here to do it!" What? King Zheben’s birthday? Qi Wuji, go back and train your soldiers, the king will remember this account today.”
The official ranks of the Chu Dynasty were strictly hierarchical, and they regarded the principles of Confucius and Mencius as the foundation of governing the country, and they attached great importance to etiquette and rules. As a general, Qi Wuji spoke disrespectfully to the prince and even yelled at him. Appreciation, in fact, is to help Qi Wuji escape from prison.
Qi Wuzhi understood this point, he raised his head to look at Jing Yue in surprise, the man was sitting upright against the light, his brows and eyes were covered with frost, his eyes were dim, and he couldn't see whether he was happy or angry.
It's different from Chengchen.
How could such awe-inspiring prestige, such awe-inspiring righteousness, be pretended by a treasonous courtier in power?
Qi Wuzhi pursed his lips, he was not very good at talking, and he didn't know what to say at this time, he was silent for a long time, he just bowed to Jing Yue with his fists in his hands, then got up, said "resignation from humble position", and led the guards leave.
The tavern regained its tranquility, but the shopkeeper and the waiter couldn't sit still. How did they know that the first guest to be entertained early in the morning was actually His Highness Wang An of Dachu, who was standing respectfully at the table at the moment, ready to Waiting for Jingyue's order.
"There's no need to wait here, let's go." Jing Yue waved his hand and drove everyone away.
The shopkeeper hastily agreed, and ordered the chef to make a few signature dishes and serve them up. He greeted him earnestly, and then returned to the counter.
Lu Xun held a chopstick and tapped it on the plate. Jing Yue walked over and took the chopstick away, raised his hand and flicked his forehead, "Are you three years old? Still knocking on the plate to play?"
"It hurts, take it easy." Lu Xun frowned, raised his hand to cover his head, rubbed it lightly, then tilted his head to look at Jing Yue, smiling with crooked eyebrows, "Your Highness is just so majestic."
Jing Yue also laughed, grabbed Lu Xun's hand, squeezed it and said, "I've been wronged for you these few days, I'll get it all back for you, okay?"
"No, I can ask for it myself." Lu Xun raised his eyebrows in disdain.
Jing Yue didn't have the slightest temper towards his smug look, and the movement of raising his eyebrows made Jing Yue's heart soften into a puddle of water. He leaned over and kissed Lu Xun on the lips, and then put away the money Yuan Ren sent , stood up and said: "Let's go, let's go to the post house." The post envoy had been in Danchi for a long time, saw Jing Yue, and invited him into the house with a smile on his face.
The room arranged for Jingyue was very luxurious, with six openings and four entrances, divided into two rooms, one sleeping room and one bathing room, separated by a [-]-fold teak wood carved gold screen.
Lu Xun leaned on the bamboo door, looked at the furnishings in the house one by one, and said with a smile: "I will also seek a half-job in another day, and the treatment is better than that of ordinary people, isn't it at 01:30."
Jing Yue was untying the jade belt around her waist, when she heard the words she laughed and scolded: "Don't run on me, wolf cub, come in quickly, let's go to Tangchi to sleep for a while."
Lu Xun also laughed, he closed the door, took the clean clothes thrown by Jing Yue, and walked side by side to the soup room.
The soup room was filled with water vapor, which splashed on the marble floor, and a lot of crystal water droplets condensed on it.
Jing Yue kicked off the brocade boots, and took off the outer shirt and obscene clothes in twos and threes, revealing her generous and strong back.
Lu Xun glanced and pursed his lips.No matter how many times he looks at this body, he still finds it very pleasing to the eye, the muscles are clean and neat, as if cut out by a knife, and through the water mist, those hideous scars become unreal, and it has a somewhat brutal taste.
Before he crossed over, he often went to the gym. In Qincheng's gay circle, he was considered to be the best figure in the 1st place. Those bed partners...
Thinking of this, Lu Xun felt a little melancholy. It was really the saying in the play that "years flow like water, and life seems to be seen for the first time". At the age of 22, he was still studying at Harvard, and he would never have thought that he had a partner at the age of 26. on the way home.
"What are you dawdling for?" Jing Yue was about to take off her obscene trousers and go into the water, but when she saw Lu Xun standing still fully clothed, she walked over and wrapped him in her arms, "Are you shy? Do you want me to take it off for you?"
As he spoke, he reached for Lu Xun's waist and lifted the waist seal.
Lu Xun let him undress himself, turned his head to look at Jing Yue, frowned and asked, "Do you like me?"
The question was endless, Jing Yue blinked and asked, "What?"
As she spoke, her hands kept moving, and the white silk obscene garment slipped to the ground, revealing her white and soft back, like a piece of jade soaked in the moonlight.
"I've been bumping on the road these days, and I don't have time to think too much. Just now I thought about it carefully, and I always feel that I was tricked by you." Lu Xun said, and he raised his hand to hold Jing Yue's hand, "To be honest, my lord I still don't understand my heart."
The people behind didn't move. Lu Xun waited for a long time but didn't wait for Jing Yue's answer. His heart turned cold, and he turned to look.
Facing Shang Jingyue's dim eyes, he pursed his thin lips with an expression of hesitation that Lu Xun could not describe.
Lu Xun didn't understand his expression, and frowned slightly, "What's wrong?"
"You really don't remember?" Jing Yue glanced at Lu Xun uncertainly. He seemed to be troubled by something. After a long silence, Jing Yue pursed her lips and said, "In the spring of the 34th year of Shunkang, old King An celebrated his birthday. We've... met."
