Datang: Ten Years of Proton, Leading an Army of Millions to Return

"Huh? Where's my big chicken drumstick? Brother-in-law? Why are you here? Where's my big chicken drumstick?"

Xiao Yanyan had a suspicious look on her face, her attention still on her big chicken drumstick.

"Hey, isn't this your big chicken drumstick?"

Li Kuan handed the chicken leg in his hand over and took the opportunity to pinch Xiao Yanyan's face with his left hand.

"Uncle-in-law—Uncle-in-law—"

At this moment, a somewhat hurried voice came in, followed by the sound of footsteps.

Cui Jin ran in hurriedly.

"What's the matter? Why are you so fussy?"

Li Kuan had a somewhat unhappy look on his face. He had finally taken advantage of the opportunity to pinch little Yanyan, who was still half-closed-eyed, but was disturbed.

"Today, people on the street are talking about how you flew over Chang'an yesterday! Everyone says you are a god! You were photographed by the heavens to protect the people!"

Cui Jinli spoke up, with only pride on his face.

Li Qiu was revered as a god, so as a member of the Han Mansion, he would naturally benefit from it!

"Tell the important point!"

Li Kuan was somewhat speechless. Wasn't it just an enlarged kite? Was there any need to make such a fuss?

"I want to produce and sell the oversized kites you made, son-in-law! A kite that allows people to fly in the sky like a bird will definitely be very popular!"

Cui Jin seemed to have seen unlimited business opportunities, and his eyes flashed with light.

"Okay, you figure these things out on your own."

Li Kuan simply sent Cui Jin away. These trivial matters were insignificant to him.

"Uncle-in-law—Uncle-in-law!"

"what happened again?"

Li Kuan wanted to ravage Xiao Yanyan some more, but Cui Jin came back not long after. He looked up and saw Eunuch Cao behind him.

"Your Majesty, the old slave is here."

Eunuch Cao bowed respectfully to Li Kuan. Although he was the commander-in-chief, he did not show any arrogance.

"Why? You're free? Come to visit me again?"

"Your Majesty, you are joking. I am here to convey Lord Guo's intention. Previously, a general made great military achievements. Lord Guo asked me to ask you to go to the palace to commend that general."

Eunuch Cao looked a little strange. Li Kuan was the emperor, but he was still so dishonest! But he didn't forget his purpose.

"A reward? Then I will go to the palace with you."

Li Kuan was a little surprised when he heard this, but when he thought about what he had done and how he followed his general, it was only natural to reward him according to his merits.

"Lord Guo is still waiting in the palace, Your Majesty, we should go to the palace as soon as possible."

Eunuch Cao looked at Li Kuan in a daze. Li Kuan was not like this before.

But now, Li Kuan is the emperor of Da Yan! A real hero in Da Yan!

If he didn't know the truth of the matter, it would be difficult for him to reconcile the decadent figure in front of him with the heroic figure who took the enemy general's head amidst thousands of soldiers that day!
Li Kuan didn't bother to be polite anymore. He took a step forward and walked out the door first.

The two of them walked through the long corridor and the magnificent and ancient courtyard, and finally arrived at the gate of the Du Mansion.

A mechanical voice suddenly sounded in Li Kuan's mind.

"Ding! A new mission has been triggered! Stay at home for a day! The mission reward is a tomato! The growth cycle is only half a month!"

System? What plane are you working on?

Li Kuan was a little annoyed. He was just about to enter the palace to receive an award, but the system gave him a task to stay at home? Wasn't this deliberately trying to embarrass him?
It was obvious that they were trying to make things difficult for Li Kuan!

"Hmm? Tomato?"

While feeling annoyed, Li Kuan was suddenly stunned.

Tomato! A must-have ingredient for scrambled eggs with tomatoes! His favorite food in his previous life.

When he came to the Tang Dynasty, he had always been thinking about this dish! But at that time in the Tang Dynasty, there were only eggs but no tomatoes! Tomatoes had to wait until the Ming Dynasty to be introduced to the Fu Dynasty!
For an ultimate foodie like Li Kuan, the temptation of this reward given by the system is undoubtedly fatal!
"Wait! I feel like you're lying to me! How can a tomato only have a half-month growth cycle?"

Have you ever seen a pig run and eaten pork? It takes about 5 months for ordinary tomatoes to mature from planting. Even if the conditions are good, it takes three months!

".System product, absolutely top quality! Fast-growing tomatoes! Only half a month!"

That voice sounded in Li Kuan's mind again, and then fell into silence, as if it had never appeared.

On one hand, Li Kuan had to go to the palace to receive a generous reward; on the other hand, he had to disobey the imperial order and get the tomatoes he had been dreaming of.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? I have prepared a carriage over there. Please follow me and ride into the palace."

At the gate of the Du Mansion, Eunuch Cao saw Li Kuan in front of him, paused, looked thoughtful, and couldn't help feeling a little confused, so he called him several times.

"Hmm? Ahem."

"Eunuch Cao... I suddenly feel a little unwell. Perhaps an old injury has relapsed... I'm afraid... I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to go to the palace with you... cough cough cough... Please tell Principal Guo that I will go to the palace to apologize to them after I recover."

Under the gaze of Eunuch Cao, Li Kuan's expression began to change. His face, which was very rosy just now, turned pale in the blink of an eye!

As he spoke, Li Kuan covered his chest and coughed, looking very painful.

"This"

Eunuch Cao was extremely surprised. How could a person who was fine just now suddenly have a relapse of his old injury? But looking at Li Kuan's appearance, it didn't seem fake, right? !

Moreover, ordinary people would be so happy to hear that their ancestors wanted to reward them! How could they refuse to go on the grounds of illness?
"Ahem... Eunuch Cao... I'd better follow you into the palace... I can't keep the generals waiting for too long..."

After shaking for a while, Li Kuan squatted down, but he was still trembling slightly and coughing violently, as if telling Eunuch Cao that he, Li Kuan, was seriously injured!
"This... never mind... your health is more important! I don't think the generals will blame you for this. Your Majesty, why don't you go back to your residence and rest first?"

Eunuch Cao was also a decisive person. Since Li Kuan was not in good condition, he simply let him go back home to rest.

After all, commendation is also a happy event. Li Kuan does look seriously injured, and I think those generals, including Guo Shoujing, will not punish anyone for this.

"Ahem... Then I'll have to trouble you to apologize to them on my behalf..."

Eunuch Cao took the order and immediately understood that this was exactly what he wanted.

"Your Majesty, please return home and rest! I still have to go back to the palace to report to Lord Guo and the others!"

Eunuch Cao did not stay for long. If he could not pick up the person, he had to go back to report to Guo Shoujing! If he delayed too long, Guo Shoujing might really be unhappy about it!

"Huh... finally left."

The carriage gradually moved farther away and finally disappeared from Li Kuan's sight. Li Kuan, who had just been in great pain and was staggering, suddenly stood up straight and exhaled a breath.

Li Kuan was not very worried, but he had already agreed to it, and it would not be good to go back on his word suddenly. He had to give Guo Shoujing some face, right?

…………

Yanyun City, Imperial Palace, Purple Palace.

Eunuch Cao hurried over here with big strides. "Huh? Why are you here alone? Where is His Majesty? Didn't I ask you to invite His Majesty into the palace?"

Seeing Eunuch Cao coming alone to see the emperor, Guo Shoujing couldn't help but frown.

"Reporting to Lord Guo, Your Majesty's old injury has relapsed and it is inconvenient for him to enter the palace. Let me apologize to you!"

Eunuch Cao did not neglect it, for he was afraid that Guo Shoujing would mistake him for Li Kuan and get angry because of his disregard for these things, so he quickly replied.

"Hmm? Your Majesty's old injury recurred? Could it be that he contracted a hidden illness last time?"

Li Kuan fought in several battles, and each one was so thrilling that it would not be surprising if he was injured.

Guo Shoujing fell silent after hearing this.

"Quick! Call the imperial physician! Go to the Du Mansion to treat His Majesty!"

"Yes!"

"No! I'd better go to the Du Mansion in person to visit them! Let's go! Let's go to the Du Mansion!"

……

In the huge courtyard of the Du Mansion, Li Kuan was lying on a rocking chair enjoying a sunbath.

Contented!

"You are already a king... but you don't even go out for a walk. You stay in your house all day long and become so decadent!"

Mr. Du, who was sipping tea at the side, couldn't help but shake his head and scold Li Kuan when he saw how lazy he was.

"You don't know this..."

"Master--son-in-law--"

Before Li Kuan could say anything, a servant rushed in with an expression of uncontrollable excitement on his face.

"Why are you so panicked?"

Mr. Du frowned slightly, somewhat displeased.

"Master! Lord Guo is here! He's heading towards our Du Mansion!"

"What? Li Kuan! Follow me to the door to greet him!"

Mr. Du was very surprised to hear that this person came to visit. He kicked Li Kuan's rocking chair and urged him to come.

"Uh... why is he here? Could it be that he has found out something and is here to call me to task?"

Li Kuan looked bitter. Logically speaking, his acting was so realistic that Eunuch Cao wouldn't be able to see any flaws...
"Old man...you go ahead...just tell them that my old injury has relapsed and I can't see you."

After saying this, Li Kuan went straight to his room.

He had to quickly prepare the room to avoid being discovered by Guo Shoujing.

"Forehead"

When Mr. Du saw Li Kuan walking away without looking back, he was a little confused, but since it was urgent to welcome the emperor, he still went ahead.

"I didn't know that Lord Guo was coming. I failed to welcome you. Please forgive me, Lord Guo..."

At the gate of the Du Mansion, seeing Guo Shoujing's car stopped, Mr. Du hurriedly bowed.

"No need to be polite. Where's His Majesty? How is he?"

Guo Shoujing did not see Li Kuan among the two groups of people who were waiting to welcome the emperor, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.

Could it be that Your Majesty is really seriously injured?

"Master Guo, he...his old injury has relapsed...I'm afraid he can't come!"

Old Master Du had a strange look on his face. After thinking for a while, he finally repeated what Li Kuan had said.

"Where's the imperial physician? Hurry in and treat His Majesty!"

"Yes!"

The group came to Li Kuan's bed. He was lying on the bed, his face was a little pale, and his body was shaking constantly.

"Principal Guo...

Li Kuan struggled and tried very hard to sit up, but immediately collapsed again.

Grandpa Du felt a little ashamed when he saw this. How could Li Kuan, who was just so full of energy and enjoying himself in the rocking chair, suddenly become like this?

But he was also smart and didn't show his emotion.

"Hey, Your Majesty, you are injured, please don't get up..."

During the greetings, Guo Shoujing had people leave a large amount of supplements, and also personally announced that some generals who had made great contributions would be promoted to the first rank!
However, the imperial physician who accompanied the trip was very depressed. After taking Li Kuan's pulse, it was clear that Li Kuan was not seriously ill!
But Li Kuan doesn't look like he has no appearance, does he? !

The emperor was still watching from the side! If he said directly that Li Kuan was fine, wouldn't that be a joke to him, his official hat, and his life?
Without any choice,

The imperial physician had no choice but to prescribe a lot of supplements for Li Kuan.
"Alright! Lord Guo and the others have already left..."

After confirming that everyone had left, Mr. Du glared at Li Kuan and said unhappily.

As he spoke, Du Ruhui felt a little emotional.

The Du family was once a famous and wealthy family! They had made great contributions!
But the heaven is unfair! The parents of the Du sisters died early! The Han family fell into decline! They became just a so-called wealthy family in the remote area of ​​Youzhou! If it weren't for Li Jing's care behind them, they don't know what kind of situation they would have ended up in!
But! Everything is different now! With Emperor Li Kuan here, the Du family will surely prosper!

Time passed quickly like a white horse passing by, and between the turns of time, half a moon had disappeared.

Early in the morning of that day, Li Kuan was taking care of the "reward" for his mission in front of several large vats in the backyard.

Those were tomato plants! They had well-developed roots! Their stems were straight, their branches were numerous and green, and on the tops of the branches hung huge, bright red tomatoes.

The morning dewdrops covering it add a touch of crystal clearness, making you want to take a bite!
"Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law! Is your big tomato ripe? Can I eat it?"

Little Yanyan appeared behind Li Kuan at some point, staring at the big tomatoes with her big watery eyes. Saliva was flowing from her little mouth, obviously she was very greedy!

As early as half a moon,

Li Kuan planted these tomatoes in the backyard. After a series of questions, Xiao Yanyan found out that this was another kind of delicacy she had never seen before, so she came to check on the growth of the tomatoes every day.

If Li Kuan hadn't scared her by saying that unripe tomatoes would be poisonous, these tomatoes would probably have fallen into the hands of Xiao Yanyan!
"Well... that's enough... let's eat."

When Li Kuan saw Xiao Yanyan’s rosy little face, he couldn’t help but pinch it again, and then picked the biggest tomato and handed it to her.

"Wow...Brother-in-law! This tomato thing is so delicious! Sour and sweet! I have never eaten anything like this before..."

Xiao Yanyan took the tomato and couldn't wait to put it to her mouth. She opened her mouth as wide as possible and took a bite. She swallowed it without chewing it carefully.

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Yanyan finished the big tomato in her hand, leaving nothing behind!
"Wow, brother-in-law, this is so delicious! I want to eat more..."

Xiao Yanyan touched her round belly. Although she was full after one meal, she still licked her little mouth with satisfaction.
