Book with Emperor

Chapter 113 Rumors
Baiyu County, Hecheng.

A white dove flew across the dark sky, swept across the busy streets, and landed on the window sill of the only inn in the city.

A short young man sprinkled a small handful of broken rice on the window sill, then touched the white pigeon, and the white pigeon lowered its head to eat the broken rice.

The short young man took off the bright yellow silk cloth from the white pigeon's leg, and handed it to the man at the table.

"General, Your Majesty's secret decree."

Lou Binghe took a look, then lowered his gaze.

[On the twelfth day of the third month, the ancestral temple was appointed as the emperor's teacher, and he returned quickly with Kun Yucao. There must be no mistakes. ]
"Your Majesty will appoint Qin Guanyue as the emperor's teacher on the twelfth of this month, and order me to bring Kun Yucao back to Beijing as soon as possible."

"This--"

The short young man was startled, "Why so suddenly?"

Lou Binghe held the silk cloth tightly, walked to the window, and stared at the street outside with deep eyes.

He is in Hecheng, but he has been told the news in Beijing. He knows all about the fake hero saving the beauty that Xu's mother and son made a scene a few days ago, and the matter that the Second Highness asked for a marriage at the king's banquet and angered His Majesty. clearly.

He had to admire Qin Guanyue's scheming in the city, after all, he was Gong Yue's direct disciple, and the sentence "never marry for life" completely broke His Majesty's last scruple.

Seeing that he didn't speak, the short young man said anxiously, "This is such an important matter... but the general is not in Beijing right now!"

Lou Binghe's eyes were dim, "Maybe someone is just waiting for me to leave Beijing."

He just left Beijing, and this series of events happened, interlocking, and even the last scene of not marrying for life seemed so logical, which made Lou Binghe have to suspect that everything that seemed to be a coincidence happened. Qin Guanyue is planning every step of the way.

"The general is talking about Qin Guanyue?"

The short young man wondered, "But the search for Kun Yucao is extremely confidential. Your Majesty even sends a general to search secretly every year. How would she know?"

Lou Binghe said slowly, "Did you forget the prescription that was stolen from His Majesty's bedroom a while ago?"

The short young man was taken aback, but felt terrified, "What does the general mean... Qin Guanyue has been settled long ago?"

Lou Binghe didn't speak, but heaved a sigh of relief, put his hands on the window sill, and murmured, "Qin Guanyue, Qin Guanyue..."

There was a sound of footsteps behind him, and another young man with a darker complexion walked in, "General...someone is looking for you outside."

Lou Binghe turned around and frowned when he saw the hesitant look of his subordinates, "What's going on?"

The dark-skinned young man showed embarrassment, "...the girl you saved."

Lou Binghe's gaze sank slightly, "Didn't you let her leave on her own?"

The dark-skinned young man smiled wryly, "She insists on seeing you, otherwise she would just kneel there, and I... can't embarrass a woman."

"..."

"General?"

The dark-skinned young man tentatively said, "It's getting dark, you..."

Lou Binghe frowned for a while, then turned around and went downstairs.

"General! When will we start—"

The short young man watched him go downstairs and opened his mouth wide in astonishment, "... Cheng."

"Anyway, we can't start tonight."

The dark-skinned young man patted him on the shoulder and said helplessly, "I have inquired about that woman, her identity is fine, she is indeed an orphan looking for relatives."

"So what if I'm an orphan?"

The short young man waved his hand away impatiently, "Your Majesty has sent a secret decree to urge the general to go back on the twelfth of this month. We will leave tonight, otherwise we will not be able to go back as fast as we can. Why does the general care about orphans!"

The dark-skinned young man smiled, "The general knows it well, we just follow orders."

The short young man frowned, turned and went downstairs.

Outside the inn, as soon as Lou Binghe went out, he saw the ragged woman. As his subordinates said, she was really kneeling there.

She was clutching the gray cloth bundle in her hand uneasily, wearing mended clothes, but clean, her long hair was coiled up, revealing an oval face, her complexion was yellowish, but she could still see the beauty.

There were quite a few promiscuous eyes around who were eager to try, and the woman seemed to be aware of it, and she lowered her head and dared not speak.

Lou Binghe looked at it with a sullen face for a while, then walked out.

Those gazes were withdrawn in an instant.

The woman looked at the boots that appeared in sight, and raised her head happily, "Benefactor!"

Lou Binghe looked down at her coldly, "Get up."

The woman immediately stood up with a smile and looked at her with her bundle in her arms.

"What are you looking for from me?"

"I... I want to ask my benefactor... to take me home."

The woman handed out her bundle, revealing a silk wedding dress inside. The fabric is acceptable, but the embroidery is top-notch. The lifelike phoenix bird spreads its wings.

"This is my wedding dress. This is my most valuable thing. As a reward, I only trust you, my benefactor..."

"..."

Lou Binghe looked at the fiery red wedding gown, and was stunned there. For a moment, he seemed to have returned to many years ago. There was also a dignified woman with a bright smile, holding the wedding gown in her hand and looking at him with a smile. The golden phoenix on it was exquisite.

"Where do you... live?" He heard his own voice ask.

The woman's eyes turned into crescents with a smile, "Linchuan!"

Lou Binghe froze.

Three days later, Emperor Xi appointed Qin Guanyue as the emperor's teacher in the early dynasty, and the Yushitai drafted a decree to announce it to the world. Seven days later, in the ancestral temple, His Majesty personally appointed him as the teacher of Emperor Daxi, commanding all officials, and overviewing state affairs .

As soon as this edict came out, the whole country was shaken.

Everyone knew that the general trend of the court had been decided, and Daxi's supremacy over ten thousand people finally fell on the woman named Qin Guanyue from Qin Tianjian.

After hearing the news, the other four countries far away from Daxi also got a message - Daxi was ready to fight for the common master of the world.

When Sun Chu heard the news, he was watching the people in Jingzhong send this imperial decree to various places in Daxi. He knew that his general would not have time to stop Qin Guanyue from becoming the emperor's teacher.

The recruits who followed him looked at him expectantly, "Vice General Sun, when will the general come back?"

Sun Chu looked at the young man in front of him. He was very young, only 17 years old, but he could eat and fight, and he was stubborn. He heard that he had come to join him because of his general admiration. So he became famous in the gate guard army, and he knew to stare at their generals every day.

Now that the general is not in the capital, he, the lieutenant general, is not in a hurry, but he is anxious to kill this kid.

"Brat, no big or small!"

He kicked it, but didn't kick it, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows, "You're good at it!"

"That's right, I'm the one who escaped fifty vicious dogs!"

Chen Cuo smiled smugly, "Only General Lou can kick me!"

Sun Chu sneered, "The mere Forbidden Army also wants to join Ling Yunqi?"

Chen Cuo was not discouraged at all, "When I make a great contribution, let His Majesty enroll me in Lingyunqi!"

"Think beautifully."

Sun Chu couldn't help laughing, but in his heart he felt that this kid looked a bit like his former self, didn't he also come for the prestige of the general.

"My lord, you haven't answered my little one yet. When will the general come back? Will he be back on the day of the Emperor's Grand Ceremony?"

"..."

Sun Chu thought of receiving a letter from Feige from his general yesterday, and his heart sank, and he murmured, "I hope..."
