Chapter 188
"………………………” Liu Tao's mood was a little complicated at this moment.
After experiencing his military life for two days, he came to Lantai on a holiday, memorized several books according to Cai Yan's recommendation, and discussed Xunzi with her. To be precise, he discussed the concept of materialism.
In the end, Cai Yan realized that the topic was a bit wrong, but the time was about the same, so she had to give up. But she didn't know that Liu Tao was sighing: After all, he had to make the topic wrong, otherwise if he really wanted to discuss Xunzi with her, he would probably be unable to bear it.
After arguing for dinner tonight, he said goodbye and left.
As a result, not long after returning to the military camp, Qian Fu came to announce the imperial edict, saying that His Majesty came to inspect the Yulin Army later. At the same time, he planned to share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, and would stay for dinner and let Liu Tao prepare early.
"When is it so reasonable to eat for free?" After Liu Tao sent Qian Fu away, he had to complain.
"Brother, Your Majesty suddenly wants to come on the day of rest..." Lu Yan felt that the situation was strange. The day of rest in the military camp was slightly different from that of ordinary officials. The soldiers went out to rest in batches. At this time, the soldiers might not be all here.
"It should be a temporary idea. I thought the biggest possibility was that Your Majesty knew very well that I would cook tonight to entertain Cai Xueshu, so I planned to come over and have a free meal..." Liu Tao said after thinking about it.
He paused and added: "Why did he know about this? After all, there were no outsiders around me when I invited Cai to proofread the book. The possibility of her taking the initiative to tell her was relatively low...Canshan, there might be a traitor among us!"
"Who?" Lu Yan immediately became serious.
"It's easy to identify, at least for me," Liu Tao said, throwing a 'light dragon faith' towards everyone. The light attribute magic quickly covered all soldiers. Others could not see it, but he could see the process.
Then he soon noticed that there was a soldier around him, not covering him.
From the moment he betrayed him, even though he was still a soldier under his command on the surface, the magic has no longer been recognized. For a while, he felt that it was impossible for him to have any effect without his army, which made people complain and complain.
Now I found that this thing is actually really useful, and it is really important to select friendly and enemy troops.
After all, no one wants it. Suddenly one day, I was hit behind my back and realized that the person I trusted had betrayed me unknowingly.
"I found it, I'll interrogate it secretly after tonight... Don't be so cruel." Liu Tao whispered, and pointed out the identity of the traitor to Lu Yan and others.
It’s a bit regrettable that they are actually a child of the Liu family in Zhuo County. In theory, there are also brothers in the clan.
However, it is probably because they are relatives of the Han Dynasty. Although the genealogy does not have their names, it is this identity that makes their position very difficult to be very firm. In the army, they are largely in order to get promoted and make money and become successful...
It’s really a pity that Liu Yuanqi also said that in times of crisis, these relatives are the ones who will not give up on themselves... But after being rich and honor, the ones who are most likely to stab themselves in the back are probably these relatives.
I can see clearly that a group of guys who can share the same hardships but not as wealthy.
"Okay..." After knowing the identity of the betrayer, Lu Yan just nodded. He did not expect that the betrayer actually came from the Liu family of Zhuo County. Strictly speaking, this should be Liu Tao's "family scandal".
"Lord, should you prepare the ingredients again?" Jian Yong immediately asked, and he also served as the chief clerk of the marching, and he was also in charge of the purchasing.
The ingredients were prepared tonight, and even added some more as required... The problem was that His Majesty suddenly arrived, and he was worried that the supper he had prepared was probably a bit too crude.
"It's okay, delicious food has nothing to do with the ingredients." Liu Tao patted his shoulder and told him not to be so nervous. He just said that the buns and fried dough sticks he sent before, wasn't Liu Hong happy to eat them too?!
The real problem is that it was finally a meeting and planned to have a romantic dinner, but it ruined the atmosphere for Liu Hong.
Or is this a harsh criticism of himself and warning him that his relationship with Cai Yan is too close? It is said that Cai Yong lost face to Wang Zhi, the nephew of Wang Fu, who falsely accused Cai Yong of slandering the court, and the latter was worried that he would not be spared, so he had to escape to Wujun, right?
However, Wang Fu was lured and killed by Yang Qiu six years ago. Coincidentally, Yang Qiu planned to assassinate Cai Yong three times, but his father-in-law Cheng Huang was involved, but he failed.
At that time, Cai Yong was almost killed, but he was able to avoid death because of the Zhongchangshi Lu's pleading for mercy. At the same time, looking at Cai Yong's first half of his life, Liu Hong personally promoted several promotions. During several crises, either Liu Hong pardoned or Zhongchangshi came forward to mercenate.
In other words, during that period, Cai Yong actually had the label of the Imperial Party. Yang Qiu repeatedly wanted to murder, but the deduction was not in line with other meanings. After all, before luring Wang Fu, Yang Qiu also had the label of the Imperial Party.
The final result was that Cai Yong fled from Wu County, and finally realized the difficulties between the gentry and His Majesty, and began to wander. He could stand on His Majesty's side and betray the gentry, but suddenly he felt that His Majesty did not trust him and could only choose to hide.
Seeing that six years have passed, Liu Hong may not have had the method to transfer Cai Yong back, but he probably can't take the initiative to come forward, after all, he is afraid that Cai Yong will not believe it. In this case, he naturally has to rely on Cai Yan to convey his kindness.
Wait, the Emperor of Han actually knew that Cai Yan was a female school student in Lantai? A good mind was different. He realized so many key parts at once!
According to this logic, Liu Hong suddenly came over to have a free meal... Of course, it was also a factor to want to eat delicious food, but he took the opportunity to contact Cai Yan, so he happened to become his own person.
Even free meals are not easy. It is indeed not easy to be an emperor in the late Han Dynasty and live in his thirties.
Thinking of this, Liu Tao didn't say anything nonsense. He rolled up his sleeves and headed towards the Huotou Military Camp. He said he was cooking by himself, so he would really cook by himself tonight.
I was single for more than 20 years before traveling through time. During the period when I was studying outside, I ate takeout and vomited.
During the time I started working, I simply bought vegetables and cooked by myself. Fortunately, I usually got off work at six o'clock and had lunch breaks. So I bought the vegetables at noon and started cooking when I got off work in the evening. After a few years, he found that he was quite talented in a chef.
"A portion of braised pork, leek and eggs, a portion of boiled shrimp, plus a chestnut chicken soup...perfect!" After looking at the ingredients, Liu Tao was very satisfied.
Especially cinnamon, this thing has been produced in this era and is produced in Guiyang County. Liu Tao used cinnamon powder instead of cinnamon powder, and star anise, bay leaves and red dates can be bought in pharmacies.
There is already soy sauce, but rock sugar is not available. It has been replaced with malt sugar, so it can only be said to be average.
