Liu Xie glanced at Yang Rang who was relaying the news, hugged his daughter and nodded: "I understand."
For this kind of thing to be spread into the palace, it was obviously that person's instruction. So far, Liu Xie has nothing to say. In fact, many things can be solved as long as he lets go of his obsession.
With Chu Nan's current situation, it was only a matter of time before he succeeded the Han Dynasty and proclaimed himself emperor. I didn't depose him right away. I just wanted to be dignified. The country was conquered by others. It was enough for me to be the emperor for a few more decades for nothing.
Sorry, when you no longer see hope in something and finally give up, you look away from many things. Liu Xie has this kind of mentality now.
Now, he just wants to accompany his daughter to grow up quietly and watch her get married and have children. As for other things, they no longer matter.
"My slave, please leave." After Yang Rang hesitated for a moment, he silently resigned and left.
"Daddy, ride a horse~" The young child naturally didn't know what the words his father and Yang Rang meant, so he opened his arms and looked at Liu Xie and said happily.
"Okay~"
…
In the prime minister's house, Chu Nan brought back a rabbit. Today, when he and Zhuge Liang secretly visited the people of Luoyang, they bought it from a traveling merchant. Chu Nan saw that the rabbit was cute, so he brought it back to his daughter.
Chu Le is seven years old this year. Chu Nan feels a little guilty about his children. After they were born, he seems to have never stopped busy. He spends less time with his wife and children and more separation. This time he comes back with a lot of feelings in his heart.
Coming back with a compensating mentality, the first thing that comes to mind when I see something is whether my daughter will like it.
As for his son, who has reached the age of studying, Chu Nan is more about teaching. As for material things, if he asks for them, Chu Nan will be satisfied. However, Chu Cheng has amazing talents since he was a child, likes quietness, and is not too interested in external things.
I care, and prefer to listen to my father tell some seemingly childish but philosophical stories.
Of course, the premise is that his sister is not here. Chu Cheng can't figure out why his sister can drool when his father talks about Journey to the West? Compared with the monsters and ghosts in Journey to the West, Chu Cheng feels that his sister is more like a goblin. She eats everything except humans.
.
"Rabbit~" As Chu Nan expected, the little girl really had no resistance to furry things and was very happy holding the rabbit.
"Prime Minister, why did you buy this thing for her?" Qiao Shu looked at Chu Nan in astonishment, as if Chu Nan had made a big mistake.
"Little girls like these furry things the most." Chu Nan took a sip of the soup handed over by Qiao Ying, looked at Qiao Ying and said with a smile: "Ying'er's cooking skills are getting better and better."
Qiao Ying smiled warmly, but Qiao Shu on the side sighed: "That's because you don't understand your daughter."
"What are you talking about?" Chu Nan shook his head. Just when he saw his daughter running over holding a rabbit's ears, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"Daddy, Tutu is so cute!" Chu Le said excitedly.
"Yeah." Chu Nan nodded. He was about to say something about how to raise rabbits when his daughter said crisply: "Let's bake it!"
Chu Nan: “!
!”
Looking at his daughter Pang Dudu's face, the expression of expectation was obviously not fake. Chu Nan suddenly became worried about his daughter's future. This child's future... is limitless.
Everything is edible!
Qiao Shu looked at Chu Nan with a sure expression on his face and said, "How to eat it?"
"Ask the kitchen worker." Chu Nan stood up and went with his wife to soothe his soul. When he heard that his daughter accidentally killed a magic weapon, Chu Nan was a little worried about whether it would cause a psychological shadow on her daughter. Now it seems,
It's because I think too much.
"Prime Minister." Just as Chu Nan was about to go find his lovely wife and concubine to discuss the origin of life, he saw Zhou Cang hurried in and saluted Chu Nan.
"What's the matter?" Chu Nan stopped and asked.
"News came from the Prime Minister's Mansion. An envoy from Shu was sent to see him. It was said that the matter was urgent. Kong Ming asked Mo Lai to ask if he could meet with the lord?" Zhou Cang asked.
"Everything is fine, let's go and have a look." Chu Nan gave up the idea of discussing the origin of life with his lovely wife and concubine. Business was more important. The next step was to regain the land of Shu and completely restore the Han Dynasty. Envoys from Shu were sent to come and
Just in line with his wishes, the twelve states have been decided. Can this last state in Shu be taken down without any bloodshed?
At that moment, he took Zhou Cang all the way to the Prime Minister's Office.
"Huang Quan from Langzhong, see the Prime Minister!" The person who came here was an acquaintance. When Chu Nan pacified Hebei and was promoted to the Prime Minister, someone from Sichuan sent someone to congratulate him. It was Huang Quan who came, but they didn't talk about it in depth at that time. Huang Quan came here.
He also wanted to wait and see. Although he had the intention of showing goodwill, he had no intention of surrendering. In addition, there was a rampage of demons and chaos in Shu at that time. Huang Quan came here more to see if the imperial court could send some reinforcements.
However, Chu Nan was preparing for the southern expedition and ignored this matter.
"Gong Heng, sit down, this is..." Chu Nan looked at a woman with dark complexion next to Huang Quan.
The woman has a dark complexion, but has a strong figure. Her clothes are somewhat flowery, with fabrics of various colors spliced together, and animal skins in the middle. She has long hair hanging down, which is very different from the women in the Central Plains.
She looks pretty good, half of her arms are exposed, up to her elbows. From the exposed parts, she looks very powerful.
"My people call me Adan." The woman imitated the etiquette of the Central Plains, cupped her fists and saluted Chu Nan, and said in broken Chinese: "I am from the Zhurong tribe."
"People from Southern Xinjiang?" Chu Nan nodded and glanced at the two of them. He didn't know much about Southern Xinjiang, but he still knew the name of the Zhurong tribe.
"In Chinese terms, it's four places." The woman nodded.
Southern Xinjiang includes the four counties of Nanzhong. Ethnic minorities such as the Zhurong people or the Baiyue people are in charge of their own affairs in Southern Xinjiang. There are many conflicts between the two sides, and conflicts also occur from time to time. They are called by the Han people. Many ethnic groups in Southern Xinjiang do not
Recognition.
It was precisely because of this that Chu Nan didn't understand why these two people appeared here at the same time.
"You two are coming together. It seems that the demon chaos in Shu is not over yet?" Chu Nan raised his eyebrows and quickly understood Huang Quan's idea of coming here.
Huang Quan was about to speak, but Zhu Rongdan beside him had already started chatting: "Jie Su? How is it possible? Since years ago, the disaster of Ze monsters has become more and more serious. We are better here. Many caves are good at controlling beasts.
You can still cope with it ~ but you Han people are much worse. Several cities have been occupied by monsters. There are even monsters that treat local people as slaves and grow food for them. I don’t know where Nice is now.
It’s such a mess~”
The dark-skinned beauty can even speak Daibi, which is not very fluent in Chinese, but she can speak it very fluently.
"Slavery?" Chu Nan looked at Huang Quan in shock. This kind of thing would be impossible in the Central Plains. All the more powerful monsters were either destroyed or stayed in their own territory and did not dare to show up.
Huang Quan nodded with some embarrassment: "When I returned home with the art of visualization, I did make some progress. However, monsters had become the norm at that time, especially the Sichuan macaques. They like to live in groups and are good at imitating people. After several encirclement and suppression campaigns, they also began to
They fight in groups against us. Although there is no battle formation to support them, these monkey monsters are all very strong and have learned martial arts."
"Four, generally even if there are four ferocious tigers and bears, but some monkeys in Danzig are too comatose to be silkworms, in a few years, I'm afraid they will learn to tell lies!" Heipi nodded.
Is it a formation?
Chu Nan felt that it was a little difficult to listen to this dark-skinned beauty.
"Prime Minister, there is no need to worry. Although these monkey monsters are smart and imitate our human race and learn things quickly, most of them only know the superficial and not the essence. Now they only know how to use some weapons. For complex matters, people still need to do it. They enslave the people and want to learn these things." Huang Quan explained.
But the monsters are really powerful. Even if they learn visualization techniques, the army in Sichuan is no match for the monsters.
"I came here this time hoping that the imperial court would send troops. The day before yesterday, a white scorpion passed through the green air protecting the city, entered Chengdu, and ran to the lord's residence. This white scorpion is extremely powerful and invulnerable, but it has a pretty good character. As long as it is given If it eats, it won't cause trouble, but because of this, it stays in the lord's mansion and won't let the lord go out." Huang Quan said with a bitter smile.
Of course, if Liu Zhang is gone, who will feed him?
Most of the monsters are very intelligent and clever. This Bai Zhi is the iron-eating beast and the panda that Chu Nan knew in his previous life. He obviously regards Liu Zhang as a long-term meal ticket.
Chu Nan couldn't help but recall the iron-eating beast in the Yellow Emperor's secret realm. This thing could swallow the soul of a true immortal. Cangjie's character spirit seemed to be of no use to it. It was born with automatic immunity to magic damage and protected the city with green energy. It's not difficult to understand if you don't live it.
"The forest is not blessed in the midst of blessings. The white scorpion is a mythical beast in southern Xinjiang. It is your blessing to have one willing to come to your place~" The black-skinned beauty looked like you were taking advantage of her.
Huang Quan sighed, they didn't really want this kind of blessing.
"So, Gong Heng came here to ask the imperial court to send troops?" Chu Nan looked at Huang Quan and asked with a smile.
Huang Quan nodded, he knew that if Chu Nan agreed to send troops, the autonomy of Shuzhong would no longer be in their hands. Chu Nan could not help in vain, but this was already expected, and even many nobles in Shuzhong also acquiesced to this matter. After all, When entering the Thirteen Prefectures of the Han Dynasty, except for Yizhou, all other places were captured by Chu Nan. Even if there was no such monster rebellion in Shu, there was no way to stop Chu Nan. Therefore, returning the sovereignty of Shu to the imperial court would be of great benefit to today's benefit. For the state gentry, it was not unacceptable.
After all, no matter how hard the Chu Nan New Deal suppresses the gentry, it is still better than being a slave to a monkey.
"Then Miss Zhu Rong..." Chu Nan looked at the dark-skinned beauty.
"Same as him." The black-skinned beauty smiled awkwardly: "Although there are some people over there who are good at controlling beasts, there are monsters everywhere. If you go out, you may get bitten by monsters~"
"Vulgar!" Huang Quan said with a dark face: "Why did Southern Xinjiang send you a woman here?"
"Because I am not only strong, but also beautiful. I am the number one warrior in our Zhu Rong tribe, and also the number one beauty. I heard that the emperor of your Central Plains people couldn't walk when he saw a beautiful woman." Zhu Rong Heipi raised his head proudly. He raised his head and said: "By the way, will we see your emperor later?"
"This..." Huang Quan looked at Chu Nan awkwardly.
"Let's do it tomorrow." Chu Nan looked at Huang Quan and said with a smile, "This matter needs to be discussed by the court and the government."
"Then I'll take my leave now." Huang Quan stood up and said with his fists in hand.
